When Jacks family turned around to see what had caused this,they saw two homeless boys. The boys looked dirty and smelled bad. But both boys were smiling and had beautiful blue eyes. They were looking for someone kind. One of the boys went to the counter and he counted the coins he had. The other boy looked sick and he stood quietly. The young lady at the counter asked the boy what they wanted. He said,“We only want a cup of coffee.” That was all they could afford. They wanted to sit in the restaurant and warm up. It was really cold outside. But to sit inside the restaurant,they had to buy something. When Jacks mother saw this,she wanted to help the boys. She ordered some more food. Then she went to the two boys table. She put the food on the table. The boys looked up at her and said, “Thank you.” When Jack saw what his mother did,he understood what the unconditional love was.

In this market, Chinese consumers are now the largest spenders. It’s clear that a new generation of young, materialistic people is increasingly relying on luxury brands to improve its self-image. I am a fashionist too, at least in spirit — I love to look at clothes and shoes. But I don’t understand why people spend lots of money on designer labels. When a young woman buys a handbag that costs two months of her salary, that’s a scary thing. What’s interesting is that scientists have found that having luxury things doesn’t lead to happiness. Study after study has shown that although we want material things, when we get them we don’t suddenly become “happy” people. In fact, a series of studies by Leaf Van Boven at the University of Colorado, US, has shown that individuals who spend money on travel and similar experiences get more pleasure than those who invest it in material things. That’s because experiences are more easily combined with a person’s identity. If I travel to Yunnan, that adventure affects how I think in the future. My memories become a part of me. Moreover, as Van Boven has observed, young people who pursue happiness through “things” are liked less by their peers. People prefer those who pursue happiness through experiences. It’s natural to want to express yourself through your appearance. So my advice is: create a look that isn’t tied to a designer label. Convey your own message. Take some lessons from the late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs. He was always in Levis jeans and a black turtleneck. Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, routinely appears in hoodies and sneakers. These people, successful people, have style. You don’t have to break the bank to send a message about who you are. Take a trip. Go out into the world. Then come back and confidently create your own signature look. 28. What can we infer from the first three paragraphs? A. The author enjoys buying luxury brands herself. B. The author agrees to spend money on material things. C. The author is critical of youths tying their looks to designer labels. D. The author finds it natural for fashionists to follow fashion trends. 29. Leaf Van Boven’s studies showed that . A. traveling changes a person’s identity greatly B. people dislike those who love luxuries C. experiences can bring people more happiness than luxuries D. luxuries have a negative effect on people’s happiness 30. What is the author’s advice on expressing oneself? A. Be selective about designer labels. B. Create your own personal unique style. C. Choose styles that are simple and comfortable. D. Try styles like Mark Zuckerberg’s. 31. The main purpose of the article is to . A. persuade readers to invest in experiences instead of luxuries B. prove how luxury leads to an unpleasant life C. tell how to express yourself through appearances D. report on a series of studies about luxuries and happiness 【答案】28. C 29. C 30. B 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要说明了在奢侈品市场上，中国消费者现在是最大的买家。很明显，新一代的年轻人，物质主义者越来越依赖奢侈品牌来提升自己的形象。文章就此现象进行了讨论，作者建议读者将钱投资在丰富自身经历上而不是奢侈品上。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“I am a fashionist too, at least in spirit—I love to look at clothes and shoes. But I don’t understand why people spend lots of money on designer labels. When a young woman buys a handbag that costs two months of her salary, that’s a scary thing. (我也是一个时尚主义者，至少在精神上——我喜欢看衣服和鞋子。但我不明白为什么人们会花那么多钱买名牌。当一个年轻女子花了她两个月的工资买一个手提包时，这是一件可怕的事情。)”可推知，作者批评年轻人花很多钱来买设计师品牌，以此来打扮自己的行为。故选C。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“In fact, a series of studies by Leaf Van Boven at the University of Colorado, US, has shown that individuals who spend money on travel and similar experiences get more pleasure than those who invest it in material things. (事实上，美国科罗拉多大学博尔德分校 Leaf Van Boven 的一系列研究表明，在旅行和类似经历上花钱的人比那些把钱花在物质上的人获得更多的快乐。)”可知，Leaf Van Boven的研究表明，与奢侈品相比，经历能给人们带来更多的幸福，故选C。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“It’s natural to want to express yourself through your appearance. So my advice is: create a look that isn’t tied to a designer label. Convey your own message. (想要通过自己的外表来表达自己是很自然的。所以我的建议是：创造一种不受设计师品牌束缚的造型。传达你自己的信息。)”可知，作者建议人们不要通过设计师标签来表达自己，由此可推知，作者建议人们要创造你自己独特的风格来表达自己。故选B。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段中“You don’t have to break the bank to send a message about who you are. Take a trip. Go out into the world. Then come back and confidently create your own signature look. (你不必倾家荡产来传达你是谁的信息。去旅行。走进外面的世界。然后回来，自信地创造自己的标志性外观。)”结合文章主要说明了在奢侈品市场上，中国消费者现在是最大的买家。很明显，新一代的年轻人，物质主义者越来越依赖奢侈品牌来提升自己的形象。文章就此现象进行了讨论，作者建议读者将钱投资在丰富自身经历上而不是奢侈品上。可推知，作者的写作目的是：说服读者将钱投资在丰富自身经历上而不是奢侈品上，故选A。 D It seems as if social media platforms have taken over our lives. According to a study, there were over 3.6 billion social media users in 2021. And that number is only expected to grow. Although social media platforms have helped to keep friends and family connected, there is also a dark side to social media. To put it simply, it is a money making machine. This is partially because of social media influencers. A social media influencer is someone “who can shape audience’s attitudes through blogs, tweets, and the use of other social media”. You may be asking yourself, “Why would they want to do this, though?” The answer is simple: to make money. Social media influencers make money by promoting brands among their followers. In fact, influencer marketing is so profitable that the study reported that the industry is expected to reach $15 billion in value in 2022. Social media influencers are now being called out because some of their actions have started to negatively impact the environment. One man in particular, who goes by Steve to remain anonymous (匿名的), noticed that some online influencers failed to follow rules when they went to national parks or public places. This included things like leaving garbage behind, or using drones (无人机) to take pictures from the sky. Because of this, Steve made it his mission to stop social media influencers from hurting the environment with their bad behavior in order to get the “perfect shot”. In 2018, he made the account “Public Lands Hate You” to name and shame influencers who failed to follow the rules made to protect the environment. The account now has over 85 thousand followers. He hoped that it could help some influencers find the light and right their wrongs. Steve said “If everybody thought just a little bit more about their small actions and the impact those actions have on the environment and the people around them, I think that a lot of our bigger problems would be much more easily solved.” 32. What feature of social media influencers is mainly shown in paragraph 2? A. Good communication. B. Chasing profits. C. Creative shows. D. Volunteering service. 33. How does the writer present his idea in paragraph 3? A. By giving examples. B. By offering data. C. By making comparisons. D. By explaining reasons. 34. Why was “Public Lands Hate You” made? A. To win wide attention and attract more fans. B. To get the influencers aware of their wrong deeds. C. To make public places inaccessible to influencers. D. To inform the influencers of the places for perfect shots. 35. What is implied from Steve’s words in the last paragraph? A. Well begun is half done. B. Practice makes perfect. C. Every bit of effort counts. D. Actions speak louder than words. 【答案】32. B 33. A 34. B 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章讲述了社交媒体的阴暗面。社交媒体影响者通过在粉丝中推广品牌来赚钱。社交媒体上的影响者现在被点名，因为他们的一些行为已经开始对环境产生负面影响。一位化名史蒂夫(Steve)的匿名人士在2018年，他创建了一个名为“公共土地恨你”的账号，点名批评那些不遵守环境保护规则的网红。他希望这能帮助一些有影响力的人找到光明，纠正他们的错误。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Social media influencers make money by promoting brands among their followers. In fact, influencer marketing is so profitable that the study reported that the industry is expected to reach $15 billion in value in 2022.”（虽然社交媒体平台有助于保持朋友和家人之间的联系，但社交媒体也有其阴暗面。简单地说，它是一个赚钱的机器。这部分是因为社交媒体上的影响者。社交媒体影响者是指“可以通过博客、推特和其他社交媒体的使用来影响受众态度的人”。你可能会问自己:“他们为什么要这么做呢?”答案很简单:赚钱。社交媒体影响者通过在粉丝中推广品牌来赚钱。事实上，影响者营销非常有利可图，该研究报告称，该行业的价值有望在2022年达到150亿美元。）可知，第二段主要展示了社交媒体影响者追逐利润的特点。故选B。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Social media influencers are now being called out because some of their actions have started to negatively impact the environment. One man in particular, who goes by Steve to remain anonymous(匿名的), noticed that some online influencers failed to follow rules when they went to national parks or public places. This included things like leaving garbage behind, or using drones(无人机) to take pictures from the sky.”（社交媒体上的影响者现在被点名，因为他们的一些行为已经开始对环境产生负面影响。尤其是一位化名史蒂夫(Steve)的匿名人士，他注意到一些有影响力的网友在去国家公园或公共场所时不遵守规则。这包括留下垃圾，或使用无人机从空中拍照。）可知，作者在第三段通过举例来提出他的观点。故选A。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“In 2018, he made the account ‘Public Lands Hate You’to name and shame influencers who failed to follow the rules made to protect the environment. The account now has over 85 thousand followers.”（2018年，他创建了一个名为“公共土地恨你”的账号，点名批评那些不遵守环境保护规则的网红。这个账号现在有超过8.5万名粉丝。）可知，写“公共土地恨你”为了让那些有影响力的人意识到他们的错误行为。故选B。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“ Steve said, ‘If everybody thought just a little bit more about their small actions and the impact those actions have on the environment and the people around them, I think that a lot of our bigger problems would be much more easily solved.’”（他希望这能帮助一些有影响力的人找到光明，纠正他们的错误。史蒂夫说:“如果每个人都多考虑一下自己的小行为，以及这些行为对环境和周围人的影响，我认为很多更大的问题就会更容易解决。）可知，Steve在最后一段的话中暗示了每一点努力都很重要。故选C。 第二节 (七选五)(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Everybody knows the importance of drinking enough water.As we all know, drinking water benefits your skin, muscles and organs.___36___ The major reason for that is related to human biological needs.When you're a baby, you're 75 percent water.Then, as the years get higher, you get drier.___37___ It helps you lose weight, according to a study from the University of Birmingham.

We went on a two-week trip to the countryside where my mother had grown up. I was excited because I couldn’t wait to see my grandparents. The last time I had visited them was when I was only three years old. I also wished to go sightseeing, ride elephants, and do many more things there. They must be very wonderful. With great wishes, we arrived at my grandparents’ house in the countryside. During the first several days, I stayed in their house for fun. But soon, I got bored. I wondered what adventures were in store for me. One morning I said to my mom, “I really want to go outside to play.” My mom replied, “Stephanie, today we’re going to a school. The children there are studying in poor conditions. I decided to use some of my own money to buy some school supplies (日用品) for them.” Hearing that, I was a bit unhappy. “We can go out and play another day. Today we need to spend a little time helping these poor children,” Mom added. I had no choice but to agree. A few minutes later, my mom drove me to the school. On the way, she said, “We’d first visit the school to know what kind of things these children want most. Then we’ll try to buy them.” I thought to myself: what a vacation I am having! I come here to go sightseeing, not do charity (慈善)work. When we reached the school, I just couldn’t believe my eyes. There was only one small building, which looked as if it were a hundred years old. There was no playground, no parking lot... It was so small; the school I went to back home was a million times bigger. How unlucky the children here were! We met a teacher in the school, and my mom told him the purpose of our visit. The teacher was very glad and thanked us. Paragraph1: Then the teacher guided us into a classroom. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Holding the shopping list, my mom and I headed for a store. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Paragraph 1: Then the teacher guided us into a classroom. I found there were about twenty children. Their clothes were worn out; their school bags were just plastic ones. Immediately I felt sorry for them. The teacher introduced us and told them why we came here. Hearing that, all the children were excited, and told us the things they had wanted for long, such as picture books, new pencils and so on. My mom made a list of these things. Paragraph 2 Holding the shopping list, my mom and I headed for a store. There I helped my mom pick up the things on the list. And I decided to buy something for the children using my own pocket money. My mom praised me for it. Then I added some candies to our supplies. These children were so glad and they thanked us when receiving the gifts. Some of them started reading the picture books and sharing the candies right away. That day, I learned doing something meaningful for others could also be a wonderful thing. 【解析】 【分析】本文以时间为线索展开，讲述了作者和妈妈一起回到妈妈儿时的老家游玩，但是妈妈却带着作者一起去了当地的一个破旧小学，给那些小学生们买他们最想要的东西。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然后老师带我们进了教室。”可知，第一段可描写作者在教室里看到孩子们可怜的样子和孩子们期盼的眼神。 ②由第二段首句内容“我和妈妈拿着购物清单，向一家商店走去。”可知，第二段可描写作者和妈妈一起为孩子们采购，并把东西送给他们。 2.续写线索：期待——回老家——失望——去学校——采购——送礼物 3.词汇激活 行为类 介绍：introduce/present 告诉我们：tell us/inform us 表扬：praise/compliment 情绪类 感到抱歉：feel sorry/feel sad 激动的：be excited /be thrilled 【点睛】【高分句型1】Hearing that, all the children were excited, and told us the things they had wanted for long, such as picture books, new pencils and so on.（运用了省略关系代词的定语从句） 【高分句型2】That day, I learned doing something meaningful for others could also be a wonderful thing.（运用了省略连词的宾语从句和动名词作主语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$nullnullnullnull 扬大附中东部分校2022-2023学年度第一学期期中考试 高二年级英语 (总分150分 时间120分钟) 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 How does the woman feel about working in the city?

In this market, Chinese consumers are now the largest spenders. It’s clear that a new generation of young, materialistic people is increasingly relying on luxury brands to improve its self-image. I am a fashionist too, at least in spirit — I love to look at clothes and shoes. But I don’t understand why people spend lots of money on designer labels. When a young woman buys a handbag that costs two months of her salary, that’s a scary thing. What’s interesting is that scientists have found that having luxury things doesn’t lead to happiness. Study after study has shown that although we want material things, when we get them we don’t suddenly become “happy” people. In fact, a series of studies by Leaf Van Boven at the University of Colorado, US, has shown that individuals who spend money on travel and similar experiences get more pleasure than those who invest it in material things. That’s because experiences are more easily combined with a person’s identity. If I travel to Yunnan, that adventure affects how I think in the future. My memories become a part of me. Moreover, as Van Boven has observed, young people who pursue happiness through “things” are liked less by their peers. People prefer those who pursue happiness through experiences. It’s natural to want to express yourself through your appearance. So my advice is: create a look that isn’t tied to a designer label. Convey your own message. Take some lessons from the late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs. He was always in Levis jeans and a black turtleneck. Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, routinely appears in hoodies and sneakers. These people, successful people, have style. You don’t have to break the bank to send a message about who you are. Take a trip. Go out into the world. Then come back and confidently create your own signature look. 28. What can we infer from the first three paragraphs? A. The author enjoys buying luxury brands herself. B. The author agrees to spend money on material things. C. The author is critical of youths tying their looks to designer labels. D. The author finds it natural for fashionists to follow fashion trends. 29. Leaf Van Boven’s studies showed that . A. traveling changes a person’s identity greatly B. people dislike those who love luxuries C. experiences can bring people more happiness than luxuries D luxuries have a negative effect on people’s happiness 30. What is the author’s advice on expressing oneself? A. Be selective about designer labels. B. Create your own personal unique style. C. Choose styles that are simple and comfortable. D. Try styles like Mark Zuckerberg’s. 31. The main purpose of the article is to . A. persuade readers to invest in experiences instead of luxuries B. prove how luxury leads to an unpleasant life C. tell how to express yourself through appearances D. report on a series of studies about luxuries and happiness D It seems as if social media platforms have taken over our lives. According to a study, there were over 3.6 billion social media users in 2021. And that number is only expected to grow. Although social media platforms have helped to keep friends and family connected, there is also a dark side to social media. To put it simply, it is a money making machine. This is partially because of social media influencers. A social media influencer is someone “who can shape audience’s attitudes through blogs, tweets, and the use of other social media”. You may be asking yourself, “Why would they want to do this, though?” The answer is simple: to make money. Social media influencers make money by promoting brands among their followers. In fact, influencer marketing is so profitable that the study reported that the industry is expected to reach $15 billion in value in 2022. Social media influencers are now being called out because some of their actions have started to negatively impact the environment. One man in particular, who goes by Steve to remain anonymous (匿名的), noticed that some online influencers failed to follow rules when they went to national parks or public places. This included things like leaving garbage behind, or using drones (无人机) to take pictures from the sky. Because of this, Steve made it his mission to stop social media influencers from hurting the environment with their bad behavior in order to get the “perfect shot”. In 2018, he made the account “Public Lands Hate You” to name and shame influencers who failed to follow the rules made to protect the environment. The account now has over 85 thousand followers. He hoped that it could help some influencers find the light and right their wrongs. Steve said, “If everybody thought just a little bit more about their small actions and the impact those actions have on the environment and the people around them, I think that a lot of our bigger problems would be much more easily solved.” 32. What feature of social media influencers is mainly shown in paragraph 2? A. Good communication. B. Chasing profits. C. Creative shows. D. Volunteering service. 33. How does the writer present his idea in paragraph 3? A. By giving examples. B. By offering data. C. By making comparisons. D. By explaining reasons. 34. Why was “Public Lands Hate You” made? A. To win wide attention and attract more fans. B. To get the influencers aware of their wrong deeds. C. To make public places inaccessible to influencers. D. To inform the influencers of the places for perfect shots. 35. What is implied from Steve’s words in the last paragraph? A. Well begun is half done. B. Practice makes perfect. C. Every bit of effort counts. D. Actions speak louder than words. 第二节 (七选五)(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Everybody knows the importance of drinking enough water.As we all know, drinking water benefits your skin, muscles and organs.___36___ The major reason for that is related to human biological needs.When you're a baby, you're 75 percent water.Then, as the years get higher, you get drier.___37___ It helps you lose weight, according to a study from the University of Birmingham.

We went on a two-week trip to the countryside where my mother had grown up. I was excited because I couldn’t wait to see my grandparents. The last time I had visited them was when I was only three years old. I also wished to go sightseeing, ride elephants, and do many more things there. They must be very wonderful. With great wishes, we arrived at my grandparents’ house in the countryside. During the first several days, I stayed in their house for fun. But soon, I got bored. I wondered what adventures were in store for me. One morning I said to my mom, “I really want to go outside to play.” My mom replied, “Stephanie, today we’re going to a school. The children there are studying in poor conditions. I decided to use some of my own money to buy some school supplies (日用品) for them.” Hearing that, I was a bit unhappy. “We can go out and play another day. Today we need to spend a little time helping these poor children,” Mom added. I had no choice but to agree. A few minutes later, my mom drove me to the school. On the way, she said, “We’d first visit the school to know what kind of things these children want most. Then we’ll try to buy them.” I thought to myself: what a vacation I am having! I come here to go sightseeing, not do charity (慈善)work. When we reached the school, I just couldn’t believe my eyes. There was only one small building, which looked as if it were a hundred years old. There was no playground, no parking lot... It was so small; the school I went to back home was a million times bigger. How unlucky the children here were! We met a teacher in the school, and my mom told him the purpose of our visit. The teacher was very glad and thanked us. Paragraph1: Then the teacher guided us into a classroom. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Holding the shopping list, my mom and I headed for a store. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$nullnullnull
