B I was attacked by a tiger shark in late October 1997. It was near my home on the island of Kauai—a typical fall morning with friends. The waves were really good, so nothing was stopping us. That is until a large shark came right up under me and sank his teeth into my lower leg. There had been no splashing. no noise, and I felt no pain, only great pressure on my lower body. Then I followed my instinct: I punched the shark in the face, again and again which happens to be what the expert advice, until the shark released me. As I swam back into shore, I felt my lower right leg spasming(痉挛). When I looked down, I realized it was gone. The shark had bit my lower leg off. My friends rushed to my aid, and rushed me to hospital. It was another day before the “fog” lifted, at which point I opened my eyes and realized I was in the hospital—a below-the-knee amputee(截肢). For the next few bedridden weeks, I spent time with my family, and considered the future. As soon as I was given the OK by my doctors, I did what many of us might consider unthinkable: I started riding the waves again. In fact, my first time back was near the site of his attack. I was unshaken and curious—Was it because of the tides? The phase of the moon? I also recalled that the morning of the attack the water had a fishy smell. Was that what attracted the shark? I was determined to research sharks, and I did learn something that would change my life: Humans are far more dangerous to sharks than the other way around, I tell Reader’s Digest. “I watched a documentary called Sharkwater, and I learned about the demand for shark fin soup and the fact that 70 million sharks a year are killed for their fins alone.” My unique situation as a shark survivor empowered me to give sharks a voice. I began working with the Hawaii state legislature to help pass a ban on shark-derived products. I partnered with other like-minded shark attack survivors and marine biologists, and we headed to Washington to urge senators to create a nationwide bill protecting sharks. 24. What is mainly talked about in the first two paragraphs? A. The missing leg. B. The shark attack. C. The timely rescue. D. The expert’s advice. 25. Why did the author ride the waves again? A. To go on with his unshaken hobby. B. To figure out why he became a target. C. To keep track of the phase of the moon. D. To explore why the water had a fishy smell. 26. What did the author find after he recovered? A. Humans tend to ignore the dangers. B. Humans can’t survive without sharks. C. Sharks pose a greater threat to humans D. Sharks are in urgent need of protection. 27. What does author imply in the last paragraph? A. He is speaking in favor of sharks. B. He argues against the bill about sharks. C. There is widespread doubt about sharks. D. People should give sharks a preference. C Life continually requires that we write down a few words of thanks: for holidays, meals, presents or people’s place in our hearts. However, too often, our messages end up flat or somewhat unconvincing. To make our messages more effective, we might take a lesson from the history of art. To some extent, what distinguishes great from common art is the level of detail with which the world has been studied. A talented artist is, first and foremost, someone who takes us into the specifics of the reasons why an experience or a place felt valuable. They don’t merely tell us that spring is ‘nice’, they zero in on the particular contributing factors to this niceness: leaves that have the softness of a newborn’s hands, the contrast between a warm sun and a sharp breeze, the soft cry of baby blackbirds.... Some of the reason why great artists are rare is that our minds are not well set up to understand why we feel as we do. But we can be confident if our minds have been affected, the reasons why they’ve been so will be somewhere, waiting to be uncovered. We stand to realise that it wasn’t so much that the food was ‘delicious’; but that the potatoes in particular had a charming rosemary and garlic flavour. A friend wasn’t just ‘nice’; they brought in a hugely sensitive and generous tone to bear in asking us what it had been like for us when we suffered. The details will be there, waiting for us to catch them. We don’t have to be great artists to send effective thank-you notes. We just need to locate and hold on tightly to two or three highly detailed reasons for our gratitude. 28. What can we infer from paragraph 1? A. We seldom express gratitude by writing. B. We usually find messages of thanks touching. C. We should take a course for message writing. D. We may draw inspiration for thank-yous from arts. 29. What does the underlined phrase “zero in on” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Leave out. B. Clear up. C. Focus on. D. Hold back. 30. How is paragraph 3 developed? A. By classification. B. By example. C. By definition. D. By process. 31. Which would the author recommend to express gratitude? A. I am blessed to have such a wonderful week. B. Your caring and warm smile lights up my day. C. Thank you so much for your great present. D. This is the most delicious dinner I’ve ever had. D At ancient sites across the Amazon River basin, mysterious plots of unusually rich soil dot (点缀) the landscape. Scientists have long debated the origin of this “dark earth”, which is darker in color than surrounding soils and richer in carbon. Some people think this dark earth formed naturally, but the latest research has shown that modern Kuikuro people in Brazil create similar soil around their villages on purpose, which adds evidence to the idea that long-ago Amazons deliberately made such soil too. Perron, an earth scientist at MIT, reviewed interviews of Kuikuro people conducted by a Kuikuro filmmaker in 2018 and found that Kuikuro villagers actively make dark earth by using ash, food bits and controlled burns. “When you plant in hilly land, the soil is weak,” explained elder Kanu Kuikuro in one of the interviews. That is why we throw the ash, manioc peelings and manioc pulp. When comparing soil samples from ancient and modern sites, researchers found “striking similarities” — both were far less acidic than surrounding soils and contained higher levels of plant-friendly nutrients. Analyses also revealed that dark earth holds twice the amount of carbon as surrounding soils on average. Scans (扫描) of the Xingu region suggest that the area is dotted with dark earth, and that hold as much as about 9 million tons of carbon — the annual carbon emissions of a small, industrialized country. “This number could roughly equal the annual carbon emissions of the United States when all dark earth across the Amazon is taken into consideration,” Perron says. Figuring out the true value of carbon stored in the Amazon’s dark earth will require more data. Still, the research has significant influences on the Amazon’s future. The technique highlights how ancient people were able to live in the Amazon by developing sustainable farming that doubled as a carbon-storing technique. With more and more greenhouse gases entering the atmosphere, it could also provide a blueprint for developing methods of sustainably locking atmospheric carbon in the soil, helping fight climate change. 32. What can we infer from the dark earth across the Amazon River basin? A. They are more acidic than surrounding soils. B. They contain more organic nutrients. C. They formed naturally. D. They contain less carbon. 33. Why does the author mention the annual carbon emissions of the US? A. To explain the difficulty of protecting dark earth. B. To show the wide distribution of dark earth in Amazon. C. To stress the huge carbon-storing capability of dark earth. D. To reveal the large carbon emissions of the United States. 34. What does the author stress in the last paragraph? A. The importance of developing sustainable farming. B. The advanced farming technology in ancient tomes. C. A possible solution to climate change. D. A way of green agriculture. 35. Which is the best title of the text? A. Urgency of Sustainable Development B. Facts About the Dark Earth C. Advantages of the Dark Earth D.

By the time our daughter Molly was due to be born, I had grown accustomed to his embarrassment and animosity (敌意). I had grown accustomed to a lot of things, not the least of which was having an unexpected child at the age of thirty-nine. My husband, to his eternal credit, was delighted. Throughout it all, Joe rarely spoke to me, except to say, “You don’t have to come to my school,” and — after a marathon baby naming conference—“Call her Molly, the name of my friend’s dog.” When Molly finally arrived, tiny, quiet and perfect, four family arms were there to draw her close. But Joe’s remained tightly crossed over his chest, on the far side of the hospital room I signed to him to come closer but he shook his head slightly. I could see him standing there, arms still folded, staring straight ahead. Joe stayed away at a friend’s cottage when Molly and I came home from the hospital. He was still gone ten days later when I took our daughter for her first check-up. He arrived home just as I was coming back, tears streaming down my face. “The doctor thinks she might have a hearing problem,” I sobbed. “She’s too quiet she’s not responding like she should. We have to have her tested.” As my husband comforted me, downplaying my worry, I noticed that Joe had stopped beside the baby, sound asleep in her car seat. He reached out to her, shifting her slightly away from a bump (隆起) in the carpet. “She’s okay,” he said, looking down at her. “There’s nothing wrong with her. She’s just little.” Three months later as I walked the floor at 4:00 A. M. with a crying and inconsolable (难以安抚的) (and otherwise perfectly healthy) baby in my arms, I dragged myself into Joe’s room and woke him up “Joe, could you take her? Just for a few minutes? I can’t settle her down, Dad’s on business, and I just really need a break.” 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Saying nothing, Joe took his little sister from me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Seeing Molly sleeping peacefully in Joe’s bed, I walked out, followed by Joe. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 荣昌中学高 2025 届高三上期半期教学检测英语试题 考试时间：120 分钟 总分：150 分 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。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】 Which shirt will the man probably buy?

It was near my home on the island of Kauai—a typical fall morning with friends. The waves were really good, so nothing was stopping us. That is until a large shark came right up under me and sank his teeth into my lower leg. There had been no splashing. no noise, and I felt no pain, only great pressure on my lower body. Then I followed my instinct: I punched the shark in the face, again and again which happens to be what the expert advice, until the shark released me. As I swam back into shore, I felt my lower right leg spasming(痉挛). When I looked down, I realized it was gone. The shark had bit my lower leg off. My friends rushed to my aid, and rushed me to hospital. It was another day before the “fog” lifted, at which point I opened my eyes and realized I was in the hospital—a below-the-knee amputee(截肢). For the next few bedridden weeks, I spent time with my family, and considered the future. As soon as I was given the OK by my doctors, I did what many of us might consider unthinkable: I started riding the waves again. In fact, my first time back was near the site of his attack. I was unshaken and curious—Was it because of the tides? The phase of the moon? I also recalled that the morning of the attack the water had a fishy smell. Was that what attracted the shark? I was determined to research sharks, and I did learn something that would change my life: Humans are far more dangerous to sharks than the other way around, I tell Reader’s Digest. “I watched a documentary called Sharkwater, and I learned about the demand for shark fin soup and the fact that 70 million sharks a year are killed for their fins alone.” My unique situation as a shark survivor empowered me to give sharks a voice. I began working with the Hawaii state legislature to help pass a ban on shark-derived products. I partnered with other like-minded shark attack survivors and marine biologists, and we headed to Washington to urge senators to create a nationwide bill protecting sharks. 24. What is mainly talked about in the first two paragraphs? A. The missing leg. B. The shark attack. C. The timely rescue. D. The expert’s advice. 25. Why did the author ride the waves again? A. To go on with his unshaken hobby. B. To figure out why he became a target. C. To keep track of the phase of the moon. D. To explore why the water had a fishy smell. 26. What did the author find after he recovered? A. Humans tend to ignore the dangers. B. Humans can’t survive without sharks. C. Sharks pose a greater threat to humans D. Sharks are in urgent need of protection. 27. What does author imply in the last paragraph? A. He is speaking in favor of sharks. B. He argues against the bill about sharks. C There is widespread doubt about sharks. D. People should give sharks a preference. 【答案】24. B 25. B 26. D 27. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者游泳时遭遇了鲨鱼袭击，右小腿被截肢。恢复后作者对鲨鱼进行研究，发现人类对鲨鱼的威胁远大于鲨鱼对人类的威胁 【24题详解】 主旨大意题。由文章第一段“I was attacked by a tiger shark in late October 1997. It was near my home on the island of Kauai—a typical fall morning with friends. The waves were really good, so nothing was stopping us.(1997年10月下旬，我被一条虎鲨袭击。那是在我考艾岛的家附近——一个典型的秋天早晨，和朋友们在一起。海浪真的很好，所以没有什么能阻止我们。)”和第二段“That is until a large shark came right up under me and sank his teeth into my lower leg. There had been no splashing. no noise, and I felt no pain, only great pressure on my lower body.(直到一条大鲨鱼从我身下钻了过来，把牙齿咬进了我的小腿。没有溅水。没有噪音，我没有感到疼痛，只有下半身承受着巨大的压力。)”可知，第一二段主要讲作者被一条虎鲨袭击的经历。故选B项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第五段“I was unshaken and curious—Was it because of the tides? The phase of the moon? I also recalled that the morning of the attack the water had a fishy smell. Was that what attracted the shark?(我毫不动摇地好奇——是因为潮汐吗？月相？我还记得，袭击发生的那天早上，水有一股腥味。这就是吸引鲨鱼的原因吗？)”可知，作者再次冲浪是想弄清楚他为什么会成为鲨鱼攻击的目标的原因。故选B项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第六段“I was determined to research sharks, and I did learn something that would change my life: Humans are far more dangerous to sharks than the other way around, I tell Reader’s Digest. ‘I watched a documentary called Sharkwater, and I learned about the demand for shark fin soup and the fact that 70 million sharks a year are killed for their fins alone.’(我下定决心研究鲨鱼，我确实学到了一些会改变我生活的东西：我告诉《读者文摘》，人类对鲨鱼的危险性远高于其它东西。‘我看了一部名为《Sharkwater》的纪录片，了解到人们对鱼翅汤的需求，以及每年仅凭鱼翅就有7000万条鲨鱼被杀死的事实。’)”可知，作者通过研究鲨鱼的现状后发现鲨鱼急需保护。故选D项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段“My unique situation as a shark survivor empowered me to give sharks a voice. I began working with the Hawaii state legislature to help pass a ban on shark-derived products. I partnered with other like-minded shark attack survivors and marine biologists, and we headed to Washington to urge senators to create a nationwide bill protecting sharks.(作为一名鲨鱼口中的幸存者，我的独特处境使我能够为鲨鱼发声。我开始与夏威夷州立法机构合作，帮助通过一项禁止鲨鱼衍生产品的禁令。我与其他志同道合的鲨鱼袭击幸存者和海洋生物学家合作，前往华盛顿，敦促参议员制定一项全国性的鲨鱼保护法案。)”可知，这段主要讲作者发言支持鲨鱼。故选A项。 C Life continually requires that we write down a few words of thanks: for holidays, meals, presents or people’s place in our hearts. However, too often, our messages end up flat or somewhat unconvincing. To make our messages more effective, we might take a lesson from the history of art. To some extent, what distinguishes great from common art is the level of detail with which the world has been studied. A talented artist is, first and foremost, someone who takes us into the specifics of the reasons why an experience or a place felt valuable. They don’t merely tell us that spring is ‘nice’, they zero in on the particular contributing factors to this niceness: leaves that have the softness of a newborn’s hands, the contrast between a warm sun and a sharp breeze, the soft cry of baby blackbirds.... Some of the reason why great artists are rare is that our minds are not well set up to understand why we feel as we do. But we can be confident if our minds have been affected, the reasons why they’ve been so will be somewhere, waiting to be uncovered. We stand to realise that it wasn’t so much that the food was ‘delicious’; but that the potatoes in particular had a charming rosemary and garlic flavour. A friend wasn’t just ‘nice’; they brought in a hugely sensitive and generous tone to bear in asking us what it had been like for us when we suffered. The details will be there, waiting for us to catch them. We don’t have to be great artists to send effective thank-you notes. We just need to locate and hold on tightly to two or three highly detailed reasons for our gratitude. 28. What can we infer from paragraph 1? A. We seldom express gratitude by writing. B. We usually find messages of thanks touching. C. We should take a course for message writing. D. We may draw inspiration for thank-yous from arts. 29. What does the underlined phrase “zero in on” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Leave out. B. Clear up. C. Focus on. D. Hold back. 30. How is paragraph 3 developed? A. By classification. B. By example. C. By definition. D. By process. 31. Which would the author recommend to express gratitude? A. I am blessed to have such a wonderful week. B. Your caring and warm smile lights up my day. C. Thank you so much for your great present. D. This is the most delicious dinner I’ve ever had. 【答案】28. D 29. C 30. B 31. B 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇议论文。作者认为在表达感谢时应该找到并紧紧抓住两三个非常详细的理由。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“To make our messages more effective, we might take a lesson from the history of art.(为了使我们的信息更有效，我们可以从艺术史上吸取教训)”可知，我们可以从艺术中得到写感谢信的灵感。故选D。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段最后一句中的“leaves that have the softness of a newborn’s hands, the contrast between a warm sun and a sharp breeze, the soft cry of baby blackbirds....(树叶有新生儿的手的柔软，温暖的太阳和刺骨的微风的对比，小黑鸟轻柔的叫声……)”可知，“the particular contributing factors to this niceness(造成这种美好的特殊因素)”就是指树叶有新生儿的手的柔软，温暖的太阳和刺骨的微风的对比，小黑鸟轻柔的叫声等等，再根据最后一句中的“They don’t merely tell us that spring is ‘nice’(他们不仅仅告诉我们春天很好)”可知，此处是指他们不仅仅只说春天很好，还专注在描写细节上，告诉我们因为什么春天很好。所以“zero in on”意为“专注于”。故选C。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段第二句“But we can be confident if our minds have been affected, the reasons why they’ve been so will be somewhere, waiting to be uncovered.(但我们可以相信，如果我们的思想受到了影响，那么受到影响的原因将在某个地方，等待被发现)”和第三段最后一句“The details will be there, waiting for us to catch them.(细节会在那里，等着我们抓住它们)”可知，第二句和最后一句前后呼应，第三句和第四句“We stand to realise that it wasn’t so much that the food was ‘delicious’; but that the potatoes in particular had a charming rosemary and garlic flavour. A friend wasn’t just ‘nice’; they brought in a hugely sensitive and generous tone to bear in asking us what it had been like for us when we suffered.(我们会意识到，食物并不是那么美味；但土豆特别有迷迭香和大蒜的香味。朋友不仅仅是“好”的；当我们遭受苦难时，他们带着一种非常敏感和慷慨的语气问我们怎么样)”是在对此举例。由此可知，第三段是通过举例来论证观点。故选B。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“We just need to locate and hold on tightly to two or three highly detailed reasons for our gratitude.(我们只需要找到并紧紧抓住两三个非常详细的理由来表达我们的感激之情)”可知，作者认为在表达感谢时应该找到并紧紧抓住两三个非常详细的理由，所以选项B. Your caring and warm smile lights up my day.(你的关怀和温暖的微笑照亮了我的一天)属于这种详细的理由，作者会推荐选项B。故选B。 D At ancient sites across the Amazon River basin, mysterious plots of unusually rich soil dot (点缀) the landscape. Scientists have long debated the origin of this “dark earth”, which is darker in color than surrounding soils and richer in carbon. Some people think this dark earth formed naturally, but the latest research has shown that modern Kuikuro people in Brazil create similar soil around their villages on purpose, which adds evidence to the idea that long-ago Amazons deliberately made such soil too. Perron, an earth scientist at MIT, reviewed interviews of Kuikuro people conducted by a Kuikuro filmmaker in 2018 and found that Kuikuro villagers actively make dark earth by using ash, food bits and controlled burns. “When you plant in hilly land, the soil is weak,” explained elder Kanu Kuikuro in one of the interviews. That is why we throw the ash, manioc peelings and manioc pulp. When comparing soil samples from ancient and modern sites, researchers found “striking similarities” — both were far less acidic than surrounding soils and contained higher levels of plant-friendly nutrients. Analyses also revealed that dark earth holds twice the amount of carbon as surrounding soils on average. Scans (扫描) of the Xingu region suggest that the area is dotted with dark earth, and that hold as much as about 9 million tons of carbon — the annual carbon emissions of a small, industrialized country. “This number could roughly equal the annual carbon emissions of the United States when all dark earth across the Amazon is taken into consideration,” Perron says. Figuring out the true value of carbon stored in the Amazon’s dark earth will require more data. Still, the research has significant influences on the Amazon’s future. The technique highlights how ancient people were able to live in the Amazon by developing sustainable farming that doubled as a carbon-storing technique. With more and more greenhouse gases entering the atmosphere, it could also provide a blueprint for developing methods of sustainably locking atmospheric carbon in the soil, helping fight climate change. 32. What can we infer from the dark earth across the Amazon River basin? A. They are more acidic than surrounding soils. B. They contain more organic nutrients. C. They formed naturally. D. They contain less carbon. 33. Why does the author mention the annual carbon emissions of the US? A. To explain the difficulty of protecting dark earth. B. To show the wide distribution of dark earth in Amazon. C. To stress the huge carbon-storing capability of dark earth. D To reveal the large carbon emissions of the United States. 34. What does the author stress in the last paragraph? A. The importance of developing sustainable farming. B. The advanced farming technology in ancient tomes. C. A possible solution to climate change. D. A way of green agriculture. 35. Which is the best title of the text? A. Urgency of Sustainable Development B. Facts About the Dark Earth C. Advantages of the Dark Earth D. Wisdom of Ancient Amazons 【答案】32. B 33. C 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了亚马逊黑土地的形成和功能。黑土地是人为形成的，而非自然现象。同时黑土地极强的碳吸附能力对于对抗全球气候变化有一定作用。 【详解】1. 推理判断题。根据第一段“Perron, an earth scientist at MIT, reviewed interview s of Kuikuro people conducted by a Kuikuro filmmaker in 2018 and found that Kuikuro villagers actively make dark earth by using ash, food bits and controlled burns.(麻省理工学院的地球科学家Perron回顾了2018年Kuikuro电影制作人对Kuikuro人的采访，发现Kuikuro村民通过使用灰烬、食物碎片和控制燃烧积极地制造黑暗的土地)”及“When comparing soil samples from ancient and modern sites, researchers found “striking similarities” — both were far less acidic than surrounding soils and contained higher levels of plant-friendly nutrients.(在比较古代和现代遗址的土壤样本时，研究人员发现了“惊人的相似之处”——两者的酸性都远低于周围土壤，并且含有更高水平的植物友好营养物质)”可知，黑土地富含更多的利于植物成长的营养物质，也就是有机营养成分。故选B。 2. 推理判断题。根据第二段“Scans (扫描) of the Xingu region suggest that the area is dotted with dark earth, and that hold as much as about 9 million tons of carbon — the annual carbon emissions of a small, industrialized country. “This number could roughly equal the annual carbon emissions of the United States when all dark earth across the Amazon is taken into consideration,” Perron says.(对新古地区的扫描表明，该地区散布着暗土，其中含有约900万吨碳——相当于一个小型工业化国家的年碳排放量。Perron说：“这个数字大致相当于美国每年的碳排放量，如果把整个亚马逊地区的黑色土壤都考虑在内的话。”)”可知，这个地区的黑土地可以吸附的碳数量相当于一个小型工业化国家的碳排量。由此可推知，作者提到了美国每年的碳排放量，是为了强调黑土地巨大的碳储存能力。故选C。 3. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“With more and more greenhouse gases entering the atmosphere, it could also provide a blueprint for developing methods of sustainably locking atmospheric carbon in the soil, helping fight climate change.(随着越来越多的温室气体进入大气，它也可以为开发可持续地将大气碳锁定在土壤中的方法提供蓝图，帮助应对气候变化)”可知，黑土地极强的碳吸附能力为对抗全球气候变化提供了可能的解决方案。故选C。 4. 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Perron, an earth scientist at MIT, reviewed interview s of Kuikuro people conducted by a Kuikuro filmmaker in 2018 and found that Kuikuro villagers actively make dark earth by using ash, food bits and controlled burns.(麻省理工学院的地球科学家Perron回顾了2018年Kuikuro电影制作人对Kuikuro人的采访，发现Kuikuro村民通过使用灰烬、食物碎片和控制燃烧积极地制造黑暗的土地)”及文章第二段描述“黑土地极强的碳吸附能力”和第三段“黑土地为对抗全球气候变化提供了可能的解决方案”可知，本文主要介绍了关于黑土地的一些信息，由此可推知，B项“关于黑土地的事实”最适合作文章标题。故选B。 第二节 (共 5 小题，每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 In order to survive in the world with challenges, we need to be wise. ____36____ Let me tell you this, wisdom provides us with ideas when we need it and it calms us down in terrible situations.

G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要就如何获得人生智慧给出了建议，以此帮助读者更好地面对充满挑战的世界以及生活中的困境。 【36题详解】 根据空前的“In order to survive in the world with challenges, we need to be wise.(为了在这个充满挑战的世界上生存，我们需要变得聪明)”以及后文“Let me tell you this, wisdom provides us with perspective when we need it and it calms us down in terrible situations.(让我告诉你，当我们需要的时候，智慧会给我们提供视角，在糟糕的情况下，智慧会让我们冷静下来)”可知，智慧对每个人来说都是十分重要的，所以B项“为什么智慧在现代社会如此重要？”起到承上启下的作用，引出下文介绍智慧的重要性的具体例子。故选B项。 【37题详解】 设空处位于段首，是本段的中心句，根据后文“This will open up new pathways for us. Never base your perspective on the most popular opinion or which is the most comfortable for you. Train your mind to be a judgment-free space for ideas. If you are humble, then you will always get to experience something new.(这将为我们开辟新的道路。永远不要把你的观点建立在最流行的观点或对你来说最舒服的观点上。训练你的大脑成为一个不受评判的思想空间。如果你是谦虚的，那么你总能体验到新的东西)”可知，本段主要介绍了我们应学会接受不同的观点，所以E项“有时候，我们自己也需要对不同的观点持开放态度”符合文意，下文This代指E项内容。故选E项。 【38题详解】 上文“You must be the kind of person who learns something new every day. Take new classes, read books and the list goes on and on.(你一定是那种每天都能学到新东西的人。参加新的课程，阅读书籍，这样的例子不胜枚举)”指出了要每天学习新东西，并给出了具体例子，后文“All of these activities will help you to tackle problems from different angles, making everything easier.(所有这些活动将帮助你从不同的角度解决问题，使一切变得更容易)”指出学习新东西等这些活动的好处，由此可知，空处应承接上文，同样是列举学习新事物的方式，D项“上网查一下，解决那些让你困惑的问题。”符合语境，下文中的“All of these activities”即指代前两句话，且D项中的“clear out your problems”与下文中的“tackle problems”相呼应。故选D项。 【39题详解】 此处位于段尾，是对前文的总结，根据前文“You obviously want to grow and do better in life, right? The best way is to have wise people as your mentors (导师), like teachers, colleagues and even special friends. Prior to making them a mentor, find out what makes them wiser, then engage in useful dialogue with them.(你显然想要成长，想要在生活中做得更好，对吗？最好的方法是找一些有智慧的人做你的导师，比如老师、同事，甚至是特别的朋友。在成为他们的导师之前，找出是什么让他们更聪明，然后与他们进行有益的对话)”可知，本段的主题为“以智者为师”，所以F项“与他们相处的时间越多，知识的传递就越多”与本段主题相符，且F项中的“them”与上文中的“them”相呼应。故选F项。 【40题详解】 根据前文“If you have accumulated a lot of knowledge, then why not share it with others too?(如果你积累了很多知识，那么为什么不与他人分享呢？)”可知，本段提出积累了很多知识后要与他人分享并积极帮助他人，所以G项“与他人交流并帮助他们也会增加你的智慧。”与本段主题相符，且G项中的“Communicating with others”与上文中的“share it with others”相呼应。故选G项。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分 30 分) 第一节 (共 15 小题;每小题 1 分，满分 15 分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When I was in third grade, my family and I took on an unforgettable trip across the country.

By the time our daughter Molly was due to be born, I had grown accustomed to his embarrassment and animosity (敌意). I had grown accustomed to a lot of things, not the least of which was having an unexpected child at the age of thirty-nine. My husband, to his eternal credit, was delighted. Throughout it all, Joe rarely spoke to me, except to say, “You don’t have to come to my school,” and — after a marathon baby naming conference—“Call her Molly, the name of my friend’s dog.” When Molly finally arrived, tiny, quiet and perfect, four family arms were there to draw her close. But Joe’s remained tightly crossed over his chest, on the far side of the hospital room I signed to him to come closer but he shook his head slightly. I could see him standing there, arms still folded, staring straight ahead. Joe stayed away at a friend’s cottage when Molly and I came home from the hospital. He was still gone ten days later when I took our daughter for her first check-up. He arrived home just as I was coming back, tears streaming down my face. “The doctor thinks she might have a hearing problem,” I sobbed. “She’s too quiet she’s not responding like she should. We have to have her tested.” As my husband comforted me, downplaying my worry, I noticed that Joe had stopped beside the baby, sound asleep in her car seat. He reached out to her, shifting her slightly away from a bump (隆起) in the carpet. “She’s okay,” he said, looking down at her. “There’s nothing wrong with her. She’s just little.” Three months later as I walked the floor at 4:00 A. M. with a crying and inconsolable (难以安抚的) (and otherwise perfectly healthy) baby in my arms, I dragged myself into Joe’s room and woke him up “Joe, could you take her? Just for a few minutes? I can’t settle her down, Dad’s on business, and I just really need a break.” 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Saying nothing, Joe took his little sister from me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Seeing Molly sleeping peacefully in Joe’s bed, I walked out, followed by Joe. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Saying nothing, Joe took his little sister from me. He laid her gently on his bed, tightly rewrapping her blanket. Putting her over his shoulder, he patted her back and spoke to her softly. He acted so skillfully. Miraculously, Molly stopped crying immediately and became quiet. I watched in amazement as my son, who had been so distant and cold towards me, became a loving and caring big brother. Tears welling up in my eyes, I breathed a sigh of relief. It didn't take long for Molly to fall asleep. Seeing Molly sleeping peacefully in Joe’s bed, I walked out, followed by Joe. “Thank you, Joe.” I said with my eyes fixed on his little face. “Molly is lovely.” Joe responded shyly. “I’m sorry that I didn’t welcome her as our new family member at first.” Joe apologized. He explained to me by saying he was worried Molly might take parental love away from him. I hugged him tightly and told him it was normal to think that way and assured him that nobody could replace him in Mom’s and Dad’s hearts. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索，讲述了作者生了女儿后，儿子乔对极其冷漠，用他朋友狗的名字给她命名，但当发现妹妹可能有病时，乔对妹妹表示关心。当作者感到心力交瘁照顾女儿时，请求乔照顾女儿。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“乔什么也没说，就把他的妹妹从我身边带走了”可知，第一段可描写乔细心照顾妹妹，妹妹安静地睡着了，作者很欣慰。 ②由第二段首句内容“看到莫莉平静地睡在乔的床上，我走出去，乔跟在我后面”可知，第二段可描写作者和乔进行交谈，乔打开心结，明白任何人都不能夺走父母对他的爱。 2.续写线索：女儿出生——哥哥不喜欢妹妹——女儿可能有听力障碍——关心妹妹——细心照顾妹妹——母子交谈打开心结 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①集中：fix on/focus on ②回答：respond/reply ③拥抱：hug sb./give sb. a hug/embrace sb. 情绪类 ①惊讶：amazement/astonishment ②体贴的：caring/thoughtful 【点睛】【高分句型1】He laid her gently on his bed, tightly rewrapping her blanket. (运用了现在分词作状语) 【高分句型2】Tears welling up in my eyes, I breathed a sigh of relief.(运用了独立主格结构) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
