While teaching a PE class, she was hit in the head with a baseball. The impact was so great it left her with a brain injury and 70 percent vision loss, permanently blinding her in one eye. She spent 26 months in seven different hospitals, at times wishing it would just all end. Desperately, Wheatley set out to find comfort and healing in nature. She travelled to Nepal where a friend convinced her to run in the Annapurna 100 with him. The power from that race changed her life and eventually had her looking up at the tops of the mountains. Project Vision 8000 was born. And she began her mission to stand on top of the world’s 14 highest mountains, towering 8, 000 metres above sea level, to show herself and others the power in choice and possibility. Colours, and touch help guide her on the mountain and she has never once felt too tired to carry on.“The only thing constant is change, so when the weather gets really bad or a storm is coming in,I know it is going to pass.”So far, she’s had few problems standing among giants, but she admits she continues to struggle with overcoming: the “mountains of her mind”. Having already stared death in the face, Wheatley has great respect for the mountains and the mission she is on. But she’s not seared. The experience almost claimed her life, but it is now the driving force and fuel behind her success.At every icy peak, she smiles and takes a quick video with a breathless “so very thankful” whispered into the thin air. 24. What happened to Wheatley according to paragraph 1? A. She came last in a race. B. She suffered head injury. C. She lost her sight completely. D. She was attacked in a class. 25. What drove Wheatley to launch Project Vision 8000? A. Her exploration of nature. B. Her friend’s timely suggestions. C. Her strong love for sports. D. Her participation in the Annapurna 100. 26. What can we learn about Wheatley from the last paragraph? A. Her attitude toward adversity was reshaped. B. She was used to poor weather conditions. C. She ignored the mountains of her mind. D. Her nature helped her overcome fear. 27. What could be the best title for the text? A. Every peak is within reach. B. Lose sight to gain vision. C. Action speaks louder than words. D. Nature will work its course. C Will artificial intelligence (AI) replace my job? This is a question that many people think about these days. At present the application of AI robotics in professional fields, as well as ChatGPT’s abilities to write essays, solve complex problems and more, have heightened moral concerns. Some people see AI as the ultimate cure for society’s most fundamental problems, while others fear that AI will overtake human intelligence. These two views are based on the assumption that AI is better and smarter than humanity and may ultimately replace human decision-making. But given the fact that technology is the product of human civilization, the challenge from AI is something we have created for ourselves as we keep pushing our own boundaries. In other words, AI’s progress, functions and future direction are all determined by the human brain. Before AI becomes a threat to humanity, the international community should reach an agreement on the role it is to play. More importantly, related laws and regulations must ensure that AI will benefit society and prevent it from threatening human life. Robots, for example, are believed to develop emotional intelligence sometime, which enables them to recognize, understand and express emotions in a way that is similar to humans, but we must avoid AI copying human emotions. Without legal restrictions, AI may become a social disaster. The AI-driven new industrial revolution is irreversible. This, like previous ones, which introduced changes that had been unimaginable before, will certainly affect human employment. But it always turned out humanity was able to adapt to each industrial revolution and create new forms of employment. Therefore, it’s unnecessary to worry AI will replace our jobs. While technology advances at a rapid pace, what we need to do is to welcome the AI era rather than block its unfolding for fear of the unknown. 28. Why are some people concerned about AI? A. It may outsmart humans. B. It has led to social problems. C. It has been applied widely. D. It is the product of humanity. 29. How can we prevent AI’s potential threat? A. By stirring emotions. B. By blocking functions. C. By setting restrictions. D. By changing regulations. 30. What does the underlined word “irreversible” in the last paragraph mean? A. Undesirable. B. Unavoidable. C. Unpredictable. D. Unbelievable. 31. What does the writer suggest readers do with the coming of the AI era? A. Accept it passively. B. Deal with it positively. C. Respond to it randomly. D. Defend it unconditionally. D Strings of letters have recently been flooding the Chinese Internet. Netizens have embraced the MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) personality test, using its distinctive combinations of letters to define and classify themselves and others, sparking the formation of active online communities. Initially designed as a self-assessment tool to outline personality types and preferences, the MBTI has found enormous popularity in China. The MBTI categorizes individuals using four pairs of characteristics: introversion (I) (内向) or extroversion (E) (外向), sensing (S) or intuition (N), thinking (T) or feeling (F), and judging (J) or perceiving (P). This leads to distinct four-letter combinations, like “ISTJ” or “INFP.” The values “E” and “I” have especially attracted public interest. Those who exhibit extroversion (E) characteristics are now humorously described as outgoing, talkative, wild, and socially skilled. They are often playfully called “social gangsters” due to their strong social skills. In contrast, those with introversion (I) are shown as quiet, reserved, reflective, and socially anxious. Among the playful teasing, these eight seemingly simple letters have promoted deeper self-awareness and even developed a sense of friendship on social media platforms. Individuals discover their strengths and humorously acknowledge their odd behavior. This newfound self-awareness not only aids in understanding their fundamental values but also offers a way to deal with the common unease that bothers today’s youth. Many find comfort in thinking, “My ongoing anxiety, over-sensitivity, and self-doubt come from being an INFP. Such characteristics are typical for this personality type; thus, I’m perfectly normal.” Netizens often humorously note: “In everyday life, during social events, I switch between introversion and extroversion. At work, I initially act extroverted but gradually become more introverted. When I see someone I like, I’m extroverted in my head but in reality, I’m all introverted. Haidilao Hotpot restaurants, known for their fancy birthday celebrations, sometimes make customers feel awkward. Their typical birthday song goes, “Say goodbye to all worries, and embrace all joys.” It’s a show meant for the extra-social. So, if an extrovert is invited to such a celebration, they might humorously exclaim, “I can’t take it! I’ve become introverted in the face of even more extroverted individuals.” 32. What is the original function of the MBTI personality test? A. To form active online communities. B. To scientifically classify netizen behaviors. C. To make a definition and classification of people. D. To evaluate the types of character and preferences. 33. Which of the following is most likely to be a “social gangster”? A. A timid person. B. A shy person. C. A daring person. D. A humble person. 34. Understanding MBTI type can help to ______. A. attracted public interest humorously B. recognize and accept personal characters C. comfort the people with personality shortages D. know yourself better and correct odd behavior 35. Why does the author mention birthday celebrations in Haidilao Hotpot restaurants? A. To explain why an extrovert is often invited to their celebration. B. To show people’s personalities can change on different occasions. C. To indicate the birthday songs could make customers embarrassed. D. To stress the popularity of birthday parties in Haidilao Hotpot restaurants. 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Be More Present Many people have a tendency to live in the past or the future.

My classmates called me Incredible Dash. One day, there was a sporting event planned in my school. Well-prepared for the running competition, I took part in almost every race there was. A large number of people gathered to watch. Crowds were eager to see the running race because it was the most exciting event. When the race for 400m started, all the boys ran fast. Unsurprisingly, I finished first in the race and received a big round of applause. While it was tiring, I felt proud and was on top of my world. In the race for 200m, I ran full speed and finished the race first once again. The crowd gave thundering claps to me. I jumped all over the ground and was not bothered to give handshakes to my fellow racers. Then came the race for 100m. Discouraged by the previous races, most boys quit the race except one, a boy named Matt who was invited as an honorary runner. Matt was born with low vision but he was a determined participant of many sports. The judge came to Matt and explained the situation, asking whether he would like to quit too. I, wild with joy, thought I would win the champion without effort. However, to everyone’s surprise, Matt decided to complete the event. I sniffed (嗤之以鼻), “It is a waste of time. I bet he even doesn’t figure out where the finish line is.” The race of two started. On hearing the starting gun, both Matt and I ran to the finish line, Soon I sped up and left Matt behind. Just 30 meters before arriving at the finish line, I was expecting to receive the applause for the third time when I suffered a leg spasm (抽筋). 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。 I fell hard to the ground. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Arm by arm, we walked towards the finish line. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null 2024—2025学年度秋学期期中联考试卷 高二英语 注意事项及说明: 1.试卷共150分，考试时间120分钟。 2.答案一律写在答题卡上。考试结束时，上交答题卡。 第一部分听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结后,你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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 room has the man finished decorating?

I was hoping I could have a moment of your time if you’re not too busy. I’m having some problems getting started on my paper and hoping you could give me some advice. W: Sure. Can you remind me what your topic is? M: The general topic I chose is beauty, but that’s as far as I’ve got. I don’t really know where to go from there. W: Yeah, that’s much too large a topic. You really need to narrow it down in order to make it more accessible. Otherwise, you’ll be writing a book. M: Exactly. That’s what I wanted to ask you about. I was hoping it would be possible for me to change topics. I’m really more interested in nature than beauty. W: I’m afraid you have to stick to the assigned topic. Still, since you’re interested in nature, then that certainly can be worked into your paper. We’ve talked about Hume before in class, right? M: Oh yeah, he’s the philosopher who wrote about where our ideas of beauty come from. W: Exactly. I suggest you search for some information about him in the library and start from there. M: Great. Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions, professor. W: If there’s anything else you need, please come to see me in my office at any time. 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 18.

Although not all of his books were sold to Hollywood, all have been The New York Times best-sellers. He has sold over 97 million copies worldwide, with over 65 million of them within the United States alone. He lives with his family in North Carolina. He is also considered to be very generous with his money. In 2011, he created the Nicholas Sparks Foundation to make more opportunities available to children from poor families. His foundation, which he started with his wife, creates scholarships for children from low-income families in rural communities. Sparks has had a very successful career, and he owes that to education. “The education I received prepared me for the world I would be facing in the future,” he said. Even though he is worth an estimated 75 million dollars or so, Sparks seems to live the values he presents in his books. 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每题2.5分,满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Your help makes a big difference!

On the weekends she competed in marathons around Europe.But life threw her a near deadly blow. While teaching a PE class, she was hit in the head with a baseball. The impact was so great it left her with a brain injury and 70 percent vision loss, permanently blinding her in one eye. She spent 26 months in seven different hospitals, at times wishing it would just all end. Desperately, Wheatley set out to find comfort and healing in nature. She travelled to Nepal where a friend convinced her to run in the Annapurna 100 with him. The power from that race changed her life and eventually had her looking up at the tops of the mountains. Project Vision 8000 was born. And she began her mission to stand on top of the world’s 14 highest mountains, towering 8, 000 metres above sea level, to show herself and others the power in choice and possibility. Colours, and touch help guide her on the mountain and she has never once felt too tired to carry on.“The only thing constant is change, so when the weather gets really bad or a storm is coming in,I know it is going to pass.”So far, she’s had few problems standing among giants, but she admits she continues to struggle with overcoming: the “mountains of her mind”. Having already stared death in the face, Wheatley has great respect for the mountains and the mission she is on. But she’s not seared. The experience almost claimed her life, but it is now the driving force and fuel behind her success.At every icy peak, she smiles and takes a quick video with a breathless “so very thankful” whispered into the thin air. 24. What happened to Wheatley according to paragraph 1? A. She came last in a race. B. She suffered head injury. C. She lost her sight completely. D. She was attacked in a class. 25. What drove Wheatley to launch Project Vision 8000? A. Her exploration of nature. B. Her friend’s timely suggestions. C. Her strong love for sports. D. Her participation in the Annapurna 100. 26. What can we learn about Wheatley from the last paragraph? A. Her attitude toward adversity was reshaped. B. She was used to poor weather conditions. C. She ignored the mountains of her mind. D. Her nature helped her overcome fear. 27. What could be the best title for the text? A. Every peak is within reach. B. Lose sight to gain vision. C. Action speaks louder than words. D. Nature will work its course. 【答案】24. B 25. D 26. A 27.

The power from that race changed her life and eventually had her looking up at the tops of the mountains. Project Vision 8000 was born.

The impact was so great it left her with a brain injury and 70 percent vision loss, permanently blinding her in one eye. (在教体育课时，她被棒球击中了头部。撞击非常严重，导致她脑部受伤，视力下降70%，一只眼睛永久失明。)”和最后一段“At every icy peak, she smiles and takes a quick video with a breathless‘so very thankful’ whispered into the thin air.(在每一个结冰的山峰上，她都会微笑着拍下一段快速的视频，并在稀薄的空气中低声说一句‘非常感谢’。)”以及文章上下文可知，文章主要讲述Jill Wheatley眼睛受伤失明，但她没有放弃，而通过爬山拓宽了视野。所以B项Lose sight to gain vision(失明拓宽了视野)符合文意。故选B项。 C Will artificial intelligence (AI) replace my job? This is a question that many people think about these days. At present, the application of AI robotics in professional fields, as well as ChatGPT’s abilities to write essays, solve complex problems and more, have heightened moral concerns. Some people see AI as the ultimate cure for society’s most fundamental problems, while others fear that AI will overtake human intelligence. These two views are based on the assumption that AI is better and smarter than humanity and may ultimately replace human decision-making. But given the fact that technology is the product of human civilization, the challenge from AI is something we have created for ourselves as we keep pushing our own boundaries. In other words, AI’s progress, functions and future direction are all determined by the human brain. Before AI becomes a threat to humanity, the international community should reach an agreement on the role it is to play. More importantly, related laws and regulations must ensure that AI will benefit society and prevent it from threatening human life. Robots, for example, are believed to develop emotional intelligence sometime, which enables them to recognize, understand and express emotions in a way that is similar to humans, but we must avoid AI copying human emotions. Without legal restrictions, AI may become a social disaster. The AI-driven new industrial revolution is irreversible. This, like previous ones, which introduced changes that had been unimaginable before, will certainly affect human employment. But it always turned out humanity was able to adapt to each industrial revolution and create new forms of employment. Therefore, it’s unnecessary to worry AI will replace our jobs. While technology advances at a rapid pace, what we need to do is to welcome the AI era rather than block its unfolding for fear of the unknown. 28. Why are some people concerned about AI? A. It may outsmart humans. B. It has led to social problems. C. It has been applied widely. D. It is the product of humanity. 29. How can we prevent AI’s potential threat? A By stirring emotions. B. By blocking functions. C. By setting restrictions. D. By changing regulations. 30. What does the underlined word “irreversible” in the last paragraph mean? A. Undesirable. B. Unavoidable. C. Unpredictable. D. Unbelievable. 31. What does the writer suggest readers do with the coming of the AI era? A Accept it passively. B. Deal with it positively. C. Respond to it randomly. D. Defend it unconditionally. 【答案】28. A 29. C 30. B 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。本文讨论了人工智能在人类社会中的角色和挑战。虽然一些人担心人工智能可能会取代人类的工作，但作者认为，人类创造了AI，并且在AI的进展、功能和未来方向上拥有决定性的作用。同时，作者也强调了适应新工业革命的必要性，相信人类可以适应新形势，创造新的就业形式。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Some people see AI as the ultimate cure for society’s most fundamental problems, while others fear that AI will overtake human intelligence. These two views are based on the assumption that AI is better and smarter than humanity and may ultimately replace human decision-making.(一些人认为人工智能是解决社会最根本问题的终极良方，而另一些人则担心人工智能将超越人类的智慧。这两种观点都是基于人工智能比人类更好、更聪明，最终可能取代人类决策的假设)”可知，一些人担心人工智能将超越人类的智慧，这是基于他们认为人工智能比人类更好、更聪明，最终可能取代人类决策的假设。故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“More importantly, related laws and regulations must ensure that AI will benefit society and prevent it from threatening human life.(更重要的是，相关法律法规必须确保人工智能造福社会，防止其威胁人类生命)”可知，我们可以通过相关法律法规确保人工智能造福社会，防止其威胁人类生命。故选C。 【30题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线词后面的内容“This, like previous ones, which introduced changes that had been unimaginable before, will certainly affect human employment.(这就像以前一样，带来了以前无法想象的变化，肯定会影响到人类的就业)”可知，人工智能驱动的新工业革命就像以前一样会带来无法想象的变化，一定会影响到人类的就业，因此人工智能驱动的新工业革命是不可避免的。故划线词与B选项“Unavoidable(不可避免的)”为同义词。故选B。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Therefore, it’s unnecessary to worry AI will replace our jobs. While technology advances at a rapid pace, what we need to do is to welcome the AI era rather than block its unfolding for fear of the unknown.(因此，不必担心人工智能会取代我们的工作。虽然技术正在快速发展，但我们需要做的是欢迎人工智能时代的到来，而不是因为害怕未知而阻止它的发展)”可知，作者建议对于未来的人工智能时代的到来，不要因为害怕而去阻止它，而是应该欢迎人工智能时代的到来，即积极地对待它。故选B。 D Strings of letters have recently been flooding the Chinese Internet. Netizens have embraced the MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) personality test, using its distinctive combinations of letters to define and classify themselves and others, sparking the formation of active online communities. Initially designed as a self-assessment tool to outline personality types and preferences, the MBTI has found enormous popularity in China. The MBTI categorizes individuals using four pairs of characteristics: introversion (I) (内向) or extroversion (E) (外向), sensing (S) or intuition (N), thinking (T) or feeling (F), and judging (J) or perceiving (P). This leads to distinct four-letter combinations, like “ISTJ” or “INFP.” The values “E” and “I” have especially attracted public interest. Those who exhibit extroversion (E) characteristics are now humorously described as outgoing, talkative, wild, and socially skilled. They are often playfully called “social gangsters” due to their strong social skills. In contrast, those with introversion (I) are shown as quiet, reserved, reflective, and socially anxious. Among the playful teasing, these eight seemingly simple letters have promoted deeper self-awareness and even developed a sense of friendship on social media platforms. Individuals discover their strengths and humorously acknowledge their odd behavior. This newfound self-awareness not only aids in understanding their fundamental values but also offers a way to deal with the common unease that bothers today’s youth. Many find comfort in thinking, “My ongoing anxiety, over-sensitivity, and self-doubt come from being an INFP. Such characteristics are typical for this personality type; thus, I’m perfectly normal.” Netizens often humorously note: “In everyday life, during social events, I switch between introversion and extroversion. At work, I initially act extroverted but gradually become more introverted. When I see someone I like, I’m extroverted in my head but in reality, I’m all introverted. Haidilao Hotpot restaurants, known for their fancy birthday celebrations, sometimes make customers feel awkward. Their typical birthday song goes, “Say goodbye to all worries, and embrace all joys.” It’s a show meant for the extra-social. So, if an extrovert is invited to such a celebration, they might humorously exclaim, “I can’t take it! I’ve become introverted in the face of even more extroverted individuals.” 32. What is the original function of the MBTI personality test? A. To form active online communities. B. To scientifically classify netizen behaviors. C. To make a definition and classification of people. D. To evaluate the types of character and preferences. 33. Which of the following is most likely to be a “social gangster”? A. A timid person. B. A shy person. C. A daring person. D. A humble person. 34. Understanding MBTI type can help to ______. A. attracted public interest humorously B. recognize and accept personal characters C. comfort the people with personality shortages D. know yourself better and correct odd behavior 35. Why does the author mention birthday celebrations in Haidilao Hotpot restaurants? A. To explain why an extrovert is often invited to their celebration. B. To show people’s personalities can change on different occasions. C. To indicate the birthday songs could make customers embarrassed. D. To stress the popularity of birthday parties in Haidilao Hotpot restaurants. 【答案】32. D 33. C 34. B 35. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了MBTI性格测试在中国很受欢迎，介绍了不同类型的人的性格特点以及人们对此的看法。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Initially designed as a self-assessment tool to outline personality types and preferences, the MBTI has found enormous popularity in China.(MBTI最初是作为一种自我评估工具来概述人格类型和偏好的，在中国非常受欢迎)”可知，MBTI人格测试的原始功能是评估性格和偏好的类型。故选D。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“They are often playfully called “social gangsters” due to their strong social skills. In contrast, those with introversion (I) are shown as quiet, reserved, reflective, and socially anxious.(他们经常被戏称为“社交悍匪”，因为他们有很强的社交能力。相比之下，内向（I）型的人表现为安静、矜持、反思和社交焦虑)”可知，一个大胆的人最有可能是“社交悍匪”。故选C。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Among the playful teasing, these eight seemingly simple letters have promoted deeper self-awareness and even developed a sense of friendship on social media platforms. Individuals discover their strengths and humorously acknowledge their odd behavior. This newfound self-awareness not only aids in understanding their fundamental values but also offers a way to deal with the common unease that bothers today’s youth.(在俏皮的调侃中，这八个看似简单的字母促进了更深层次的自我意识，甚至在社交媒体平台上建立了友谊感。个人发现自己的长处，并幽默地承认自己的奇怪行为。这种新发现的自我意识不仅有助于理解他们的基本价值观，而且还提供了一种处理困扰当今年轻人的普遍不安的方法)”可知，了解MBTI类型可以帮助认识并接受个性。故选B。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“At work, I initially act extroverted but gradually become more introverted. When I see someone I like, I’m extroverted in my head but in reality, I’m all introverted. Haidilao Hotpot restaurants, known for their fancy birthday celebrations, sometimes make customers feel awkward. Their typical birthday song goes, “Say goodbye to all worries, and embrace all joys.” It’s a show meant for the extra-social. So, if an extrovert is invited to such a celebration, they might humorously exclaim, “I can’t take it! I’ve become introverted in the face of even more extroverted individuals.”(在工作中，我最初表现得外向，但逐渐变得内向。当我看到我喜欢的人时，我在脑海中是外向的，但实际上，我是内向的。海底捞火锅店以其盛大的生日庆祝活动而闻名，但有时会让顾客感到尴尬。他们典型的生日歌是这样唱的：“告别所有的烦恼，拥抱所有的快乐。”这是一个为社交之外的人准备的节目。所以，如果一个性格外向的人被邀请参加这样的庆祝活动，他们可能会幽默地喊道：“我不能接受!面对更外向的人，我变得内向了。”)”可推知，作者提到海底捞火锅店的生日庆祝活动是为了在不同的场合人们展示的性格有所不同。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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Be More Present Many people have a tendency to live in the past or the future. They constantly think about the past and worry about the future, and thus find it difficult to enjoy the good things in life in the here and now. You might unfortunately be one of these people. ____36____ Here are some tips that might help you. Notice Your Surroundings One way to be in the present moment is by noticing your surroundings. How often do you take time out of your day to actually look around and see what’s going on? Now close your eyes and take a deep breath. ____37____ When you do, it’s easier to be more present in the moment. Be Grateful for What You Have Now ____38____ If you are constantly focused on things you don’t have, you aren’t taking the time to appreciate what you have at this moment. One way to practice gratitude is to write a list of things you are grateful for and review that list on a daily basis. Try to write at least three things you are grateful for in your life right now. Show Acceptance If you want to learn how to be more present, you need to let go of how you think things should be and accept them for what they are. ____39____ Sometimes life is going to be different than how you want it to be. Practicing acceptance will help you let go of the things in your life that are out of your control. Find Positive Social Support The kind of social support you have in your life can also play an important role. Surrounding yourself with positive, supportive people will increase your own positivity and happiness levels. ____40____ A. Then open them and really take in where you are. B. You should focus your attention on one thing at a time. C. You cannot control everything that happens around you. D. This is one way to distance yourself from what you are enjoying. E. In turn, this will allow you to focus on what is going on right now. F. Part of living in the present moment is to appreciate what you have now. G. So learning how to live in the moment can greatly improve your well-being. 【答案】36. G 37. A 38. F 39. C 40. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明活在当下的意义和可行的方法。 【36题详解】 根据上文“Many people have a tendency to live in the past or the future. They constantly think about the past and worry about the future, and thus find it difficult to enjoy the good things in life in the here and now. You might unfortunately be one of these people. (许多人都倾向于活在过去或未来。他们总是想着过去，担心未来，因此很难在此时此刻享受生活中的美好事物。很不幸，你可能就是这些人中的一员。)”可知，本段开头说明没有活在当下给人们带来的危害，然后提到读者也可能是其中一员，说明这种现象的危害。G项“学会活在当下可以极大地提升你的生活幸福感。”可以承接上文。故选G。 【37题详解】 本段小标题为“Notice Your Surroundings (关注你的周围)”，因此A项与上文衔接自然，表示“现在闭上眼睛，深吸一口气，然后睁开眼睛，认真观察你所处的环境”。A项中的“where you are”与小标题中的“Your Surroundings”相呼应。故选A。 【38题详解】 本段的小标题为“Be Grateful for What You Have Now (感恩你所拥有的)”可知，本句是对小标题的更详细的解释；且F项中“appreciate”与小标题中的“Be Grateful for”、空后的“you are grateful for”相呼应。故选F。 【39题详解】 本段小标题为“Show Acceptance (接受现实)”以及空前“If you want to learn how to be more present, you need to let go of how you think things should be and accept them for what they are. (如果你想学会如何活在当下，你需要放下你认为事情应该是什么样子的想法，接受它们的本来面目。)”介绍“接受现实”的方法：通过放弃幻想来接受现实。本空接着解释要放弃幻想的原因：人不可能控制发生在自身周围的一切。C选项“你不能控制发生在你周围的每件事。”符合语境。故选C。 【40题详解】 本段小标题为“Find Positive Social Support (寻积极正面的社交支持)”以及空前“The kind of social support you have in your life can also play an important role. Surrounding yourself with positive, supportive people will increase your own positivity and happiness levels. (你生活中的社会支持也会发挥重要作用。和积极、支持你的人在一起会增加你的积极性和幸福感。)”提到“与积极正面的人交往会增加你自己的正能量和幸福感”，所以此处选E“相应地，这种正能量和幸福感会使你更关注身边正在发生的事情”承接上文。故选E。 第三部分 语言运用(共四节，满分45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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 In high school Norman Greenstein was a productive doodler (涂鸦手) and created lots of paintings.

My classmates called me Incredible Dash. One day, there was a sporting event planned in my school. Well-prepared for the running competition, I took part in almost every race there was. A large number of people gathered to watch. Crowds were eager to see the running race because it was the most exciting event. When the race for 400m started, all the boys ran fast. Unsurprisingly, I finished first in the race and received a big round of applause. While it was tiring, I felt proud and was on top of my world. In the race for 200m, I ran full speed and finished the race first once again. The crowd gave thundering claps to me. I jumped all over the ground and was not bothered to give handshakes to my fellow racers. Then came the race for 100m. Discouraged by the previous races, most boys quit the race except one, a boy named Matt who was invited as an honorary runner. Matt was born with low vision but he was a determined participant of many sports. The judge came to Matt and explained the situation, asking whether he would like to quit too. I, wild with joy, thought I would win the champion without effort. However, to everyone’s surprise, Matt decided to complete the event. I sniffed (嗤之以鼻), “It is a waste of time. I bet he even doesn’t figure out where the finish line is.” The race of two started. On hearing the starting gun, both Matt and I ran to the finish line, Soon I sped up and left Matt behind. Just 30 meters before arriving at the finish line, I was expecting to receive the applause for the third time when I suffered a leg spasm (抽筋). 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。 I fell hard to the ground. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Arm by arm, we walked towards the finish line. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】I fell hard to the ground. At this moment I felt sad and ashamed that I couldn’t finish the race. I lay on the ground, unwilling to face the fact and the crowds. I imagined the sneering faces and don’t know how to react. Suddenly a hand reached out to me. I raised my head and found it’s Matt. “Let’s run together.” he said. There was just sincerity on his face, no mock. I believed I should trust him, and gave him my hand. Arm by arm, we walked towards the finish line. The crowds fell into silence,and then broke into loud applause. What did they applaud for? I think I know. Bowing to Matt, I thanked Matt for his help and admitted he was the champion. “No, I participate in the race not for the champion, just for the participation. You are very excellent.” he said. I was surprised at first, and then realized that the full engagement and good faith deserved the real champion. 【解析】 【导语】本文以时间为线索展开。作者是一名短跑选手，几乎可以赢得所参加过的每一次比赛，在同学中享受盛名，但是在一次比赛中，其他同学因为作者的实力感到气馁，都退出了比赛，只剩下一名叫马特的同学和作者比赛，作者一开始很是轻视，但是在比赛中作者的腿突然抽筋，在马特的帮助下走到了终点线，作者也终于明白什么才是真正的冠军。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我重重地摔倒在地。”可知，第一段可描写作者感到很难堪，这时马特伸出援手。 ②由第二段首句内容“我们手挽着手朝终点线走去。”可知，第二段可描写作者非常感激马特，也明白了什么才是真正的冠军。 2.续写线索：摔倒在地——羞愧难堪——伸出援手——一起走——鼓掌——道谢——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.完成：finish/complete ②.发现：find/discover ③.信任：trust /believe in 情绪类 ①.不情愿的：unwilling/reluctant ②.嘲讽的：sneering/sarcastic 【点睛】[高分句型1] Bowing to Matt, I thanked Matt for his help and admitted he was the champion.
