My daughter was getting married and I didn’t want to live six hours away, so we made the move. Once we moved, we were made unneeded and it was a mad race to get work. I ended up at here at Cheddar Gorge and Caves. Cheddar Gorge is like nothing else in the UK. It’s a unique phenomenon, because although there are other caves in the country, you don’t have the gorge elsewhere. This is a major geological feature, it’s three miles long and there’s just this natural, raw beauty. I can sit at my desk in guest services and look out at part of the gorge. It’s amazing. The Cheddar Gorge spirit is strong. You know, not having worked here or heard about the area, you come here and it gets under your skin in the right way. You become part of it, it becomes part of you. I’m very passionate about it. And there’s the amazing wildlife, the geology, the prehistory — Cheddar Man is still one of the greatest finds in the UK. Every day at Cheddar Gorge and Caves is different. You’ve got the rock sports side of things, the climbing, the caving. We take people through the caves on tours and we have pre-history, which we do with the museum, whereby we have schools come in and do demonstrations with them. We will dress up as genuinely as we can to reproduce the time period of the Cheddar Man, which is the Mesolithic period, so 10,000 years ago. We do fire lighting, for example, and hopefully it’s inspiring to the young people! It’s really cool to be in the museum garden and have part of the gorge as the background while you’re doing it, so you can really submerge yourself in that moment. My favourite spot is when you go past the peak on the walk and you can look back down into the gorge or across to the reservoir. The view is amazing. Yes, you can see pictures of it, but honestly you have to be there to fully appreciate it. You might hear some buzzards or see some sheep or goats while you’re up there, just to enhance the experience! 24. PAUL HEMINGTON originally moved to Cheddar Gorge to __________. A. settle down in the countryside B. be closer to his daughter C. land a job as a tour guide D. take part in a competitive race 25. The underlined phrase “gets under your skin” is closest in meaning to _________. A. affects you deeply B. bothers you greatly C. increases your strength D. improves your skin condition 26. Which of the following falls into Paul’s job descriptions? A. He goes to the school to give lectures on pre-history. B. He demonstrates to young people how to climb rocks. C. He participates in recreating the scenes in the Mesolithic period. D. He decorates the museum garden to make it look like the gorge. 27. What does PAUL HEMINGTON talk about in this article? A. How he adapts to the local way of life. B. What major local attractions are worth seeing. C. Why Cheddar Gorge ranks first as a natural wonder. D. What makes Cheddar Gorge so special to him. C If you were to ask me which part of the body most vividly (生动地) expresses information about our emotions, I would say it’s the lips. That is not to say the eyes and even the feet don’t show emotions, but the lips are unique in the way they can show emotions. Our emotion is reflected vividly in the lips. Lips may visibly be out of shape in unusual emotions. In some cases, people’s lips turn red to express they can’t control their emotion. Additionally, people may not say anything but unwillingly accept something with the corners of their mouth pointed downward. Therefore, our lips show a lot of information. Once you realize these, you can help others in an emotional situation. The lips are highly sensitive to touch and temperature, and they are also highly reactive to our emotional states. The lips react in real time to changing emotions. So, when people receive bad news or see a terrible event, the lips look pale. Lip biting is one of the ways that we comfort ourselves. Sometimes a dry mouth will cause us to do that, but more often it’s a way of reducing stress. Stress can also cause the lips to move awkwardly or the smile to look tense or forced. Certain drugs can also cause similar situations. Unfortunately, these behaviors may be misunderstood, and someone may be thought to be less trusted or confident. As I noted in What Every BODY Is Saying, the human body shows in real time when there is emotional comfort and discomfort, and the lips can help us to understand that others may be struggling and need our attention. And, while many of us tend to focus on the eyes, faces etc. for information about emotional states, don’t ignore the lips, as they are even more likely to show what the heart hides. 28. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. Kinds of ways to express emotions. B. Lip features of someone in bad moods. C. Examples of lips in emotion expression. D. Principles of the changes in lip states. 29. What can we infer about our lips according to the text? A. They can escape outside effects. B. They reflect the negative emotions only. C. They are rich in some colors. D. They are affected by moods immediately. 30. Why are people taking certain medicine often misread? A. Because of their facial expressions. B. Because of their unusual confidence. C. Because of their awkwardness. D. Because of their movements. 31. What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A. Turning to a book helps reduce stress. B. Expressing one’s emotions is important. C. Understanding moods needs several ways. D. Discovering hidden emotions is difficult. D On a recent afternoon, dozens of elderly farmers were playing chess in a courtyard, a common scene at the Madongchuan Township Zhaotai Village Mutual Support Nursing Home in Yan’ an, a hilly part of Northwest China’s Shaanxi province. There are no caregivers in sight. Instead, the residents look after one another at the self-service nursing facility, which was rebuilt from a deserted primary school in Madongchuan township. The younger ones grow vegetables in a small path of land nearby. They cook outdoors using a shared kitchen, and the food is delivered to those with mobility issues. After meals, many play chess or chat at their leisure. Local authorities also hired a retired village doctor to oversee the facility so that the residents no longer have to go to the hospital for less severe health problems such as cold and fever. “They were enjoying themselves in the moment, and leading rather independent lives,” Zhao Liwen, secretary-general of Taikang Yicai Foundation, said of her first impression about the residents during a visit in 2019. The Beijing- based charity offered help by donating 1 million yuan to the nursing home. When she arrived, the seniors, all empty-nesters who are either childless or have children working in big cities, were wrapping dumplings together. The scene was a sharp contrast from life in the area more than a decade ago. Village elders used to live lonely lives, scattered (分散) among the remote area and unable to access hospitals and other public services. Then in 2013, a flood washed their homes away, forcing them to move into the nursing facility. The nursing home in Yan’ an is one of the best examples of China’s increasing efforts to take advantage of the strength of “relationship - based communities” in rural (乡村的) areas to ensure fast-graying residents are cared for. Compared with a more commercial or rule-based society in cities, rural communities in China are known to operate through personal connections and mutual trust. The self-sufficient, interdependent culture displayed by the nursing home is being supported by authorities to deal with aging in the countryside. 32. What do the elderly residents do in the nursing facility? A. They use their separate kitchens. B. They enjoy their leisure activities. C. They share advanced medical services. D. They employ caregivers to look after them. 33. What approach does the nursing home in Yan’ an take to deal with the rural aging? A. Following strict regulations. B. Developing mutual cooperation. C. Conducting commercial strategies. D. Promoting individual independence. 34. What is the author’s attitude to the self- service nursing home? A. Objective. B. Indifferent. C. Favorable. D. Disapproving. 35. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. Rural Revival: China’s Approach to Aging Population B. Promoting traditional values: A Tale of Aging in Rural China C. Bridging Generation Gaps: The Story of Yan’ an’s Nursing Home D. Relationship - Based Community: A Nursing Home in Rural China 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。 One of the joys of being a beauty journalist is the helpful advice.

Mrs. Du just said my name - for leading the performance in the opening ceremony for the upcoming sports meeting! Our class had chosen the theme of “Unity in Diversity.” We were required to celebrate the different cultures represented in our country. Not the event I had wished! Beads of sweat popped out from my forehead. Morgan, my best friend and fellow dancer, pressed her elbow into my side, trying to offer some moral support. “Maybe Du has more confidence in you than you think.” “Or maybe She just wants to give the rest a laugh when I struggle through the track,” I thought desperately. I walked toward Mrs. Du and told her about my worries and my desire to quit this performance. She frowned and asked if that was what I really wanted. I hesitated. She smiled and urged me to go practice as much as possible. The first practice was a disaster. I struggled with the music. My feet felt clumsy (笨拙的), and my movements were ridiculous. I felt like everyone was watching, maybe even laughing at my attempts, and my stomach twisted with embarrassment. What if I tripped? What if I forgot the moves? The next day at school, Morgan asked if we could practice together. We met in the gym after classes, and as we danced side by side, I started to feel better. We began with some warm-up exercises, stretching our bodies and relaxing our muscles. I felt the tightness in my legs ease as we laughed and tried out silly dance moves. As we practiced, some of our classmates joined us “We’re all in this together!” We practiced the tricky sections again and again, each time growing more confident. My classmates cheered each time I nailed a move, and their encouragement made me feel stronger. “You’ve got this!” Morgan said, smiling brightly. Finally, the big day came. The atmosphere was electric with expectation and the classmates were buzzing with excitement. I took a deep breath, reminding myself of all the hard work we had put into this moment. 注意: (1)续写词数应为150个左右; (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 When it was finally our turn, a wave of nerves hit me again. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As we finished our performance, the crowd erupted into applause. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 南昌十九中2024-2025学年上学期期中考试高二年级英语学科试卷 考试时间：120 分钟 满分150分 第一部分 听力 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】 What seems to be the woman’s problem?

B 【解析】 【原文】Do you enjoy watching comedies then? Why not come and see what’s happening at comedy hour? Comedy hour owns comedy clubs in several countries that are run just for people aged 13 to 20. They are just as familiar with working in adult comedy clubs as they are working with children. The comedy hour company was set up by John Winterson. In fact, his act quickly became so popular that he soon found lots of other comedians who wanted to join his company. If you’re having a party at home, comedy hour can come and perform for you there at the party. Your very own comedian will also help you to tell your guests some jokes and silly stories, and they can join in too if they want. It’ll be fun and very different from any party you’ve ever had before here at comedy hour. It’s not just about the adults telling jokes. We also offer young people the chance to perform, but we’ve yet to find someone who can do that without preparation. So we’ve set up the world’s first comedy classes to teach young people how to tell jokes on stage. At the moment our classes are only monthly, but we are planning to start a number of others over the coming year. So what are you waiting for? Come and join comedy hour. 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、的四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Dear Mr. Russel, Welcome to work here for a few days.

But we will try our best to ensure that you can have a high efficiency. All details are provided below.( 由于日程安排紧张，你可能会在这里有一些繁忙的日子。但我们会尽力确保你能有一个高效率。所有细节如下)”可推断，这封邮件的目的是为了提供一个工作安排表。故选A。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“At your request, I was about to arrange several meetings with your coauthors to discuss revisions to your series of children's stories, which will be an important part during your stay here.（应您的要求，我打算安排几次与您的合著者的会议，讨论您的一系列儿童故事的修订，这将是您在这里逗留期间的一个重要部分。）”可知，Russell正在和别人一起做一个项目。故选D。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据表格中提到的“Tue.2:00 p.m.”和“Meeting with Hank Willis about some of the chapters（和Hank Willis讨论一些章节）”可知，星期二下午两点，Russell先生将讨论他的故事书的内容。故选C。 B PAUL HEMINGTON, 57, is the Assistant Operations Manager at Cheddar Gorge（切达峡谷） and Caves cheddargorge.co.uk I moved to SOMERSET mainly for my family. My daughter was getting married and I didn’t want to live six hours away, so we made the move. Once we moved, we were made unneeded and it was a mad race to get work. I ended up at here at Cheddar Gorge and Caves. Cheddar Gorge is like nothing else in the UK. It’s a unique phenomenon, because although there are other caves in the country, you don’t have the gorge elsewhere. This is a major geological feature, it’s three miles long and there’s just this natural, raw beauty. I can sit at my desk in guest services and look out at part of the gorge. It’s amazing. The Cheddar Gorge spirit is strong. You know, not having worked here or heard about the area, you come here and it gets under your skin in the right way. You become part of it, it becomes part of you. I’m very passionate about it. And there’s the amazing wildlife, the geology, the prehistory — Cheddar Man is still one of the greatest finds in the UK. Every day at Cheddar Gorge and Caves is different. You’ve got the rock sports side of things, the climbing, the caving. We take people through the caves on tours and we have pre-history, which we do with the museum, whereby we have schools come in and do demonstrations with them. We will dress up as genuinely as we can to reproduce the time period of the Cheddar Man, which is the Mesolithic period, so 10,000 years ago. We do fire lighting, for example, and hopefully it’s inspiring to the young people! It’s really cool to be in the museum garden and have part of the gorge as the background while you’re doing it, so you can really submerge yourself in that moment. My favourite spot is when you go past the peak on the walk and you can look back down into the gorge or across to the reservoir. The view is amazing. Yes, you can see pictures of it, but honestly you have to be there to fully appreciate it. You might hear some buzzards or see some sheep or goats while you’re up there, just to enhance the experience! 24. PAUL HEMINGTON originally moved to Cheddar Gorge to __________. A. settle down in the countryside B. be closer to his daughter C. land a job as a tour guide D. take part in a competitive race 25. The underlined phrase “gets under your skin” is closest in meaning to _________. A. affects you deeply B. bothers you greatly C. increases your strength D. improves your skin condition 26. Which of the following falls into Paul’s job descriptions? A. He goes to the school to give lectures on pre-history. B. He demonstrates to young people how to climb rocks. C. He participates in recreating the scenes in the Mesolithic period. D. He decorates the museum garden to make it look like the gorge. 27. What does PAUL HEMINGTON talk about in this article? A. How he adapts to the local way of life. B. What major local attractions are worth seeing. C. Why Cheddar Gorge ranks first as a natural wonder. D. What makes Cheddar Gorge so special to him. 【答案】24. B 25. A 26. C 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Paul Hemington是Cheddar Gorge和Caves的助理运营经理，他对这个地方充满热情。他介绍了切达峡谷的自然美景、地质特征、野生动植物以及与当地历史相关的活动。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“I moved to SOMERSET mainly for my family. My daughter was getting married and I didn’t want to live six hours away, so we made the move. (我搬到SOMERSET主要是为了我的家人。我女儿要结婚了，我不想住在六小时车程以外的地方，所以我们搬了家。)”可知，PAUL HEMINGTON搬到Somerset主要是为了和家人团聚，因为他的女儿要结婚，他不想离得太远，所以他们做出了这个决定。故选B。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线短语后面的内容“You become part of it, it becomes part of you. I’m very passionate about it.(你成为它的一部分，它也成为你的一部分。我对此充满激情。)”可知， PAUL HEMINGTON认为Cheddar Gorge以正确的方式渗透到自己的内心。自己成为它的一部分，它成为自己的一部分。因此推断Cheddar Gorge对他产生了深深的影响。故选A。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“We take people through the caves on tours and we have pre-history, which we do with the museum, whereby we have schools come in and do demonstrations with them. We will dress up as genuinely as we can to reproduce the time period of the Cheddar Man, which is the Mesolithic period, so 10,000 years ago. We do fire lighting, for example, and hopefully it’s inspiring to the young people! It’s really cool to be in the museum garden and have part of the gorge as the background while you’re doing it, so you can really submerge yourself in that moment.( 我们带人们参观洞穴，我们有史前历史，这是我们和博物馆一起做的，我们让学校来和他们一起做示范。我们会打扮得尽可能真实再现Cheddar Man的时代，也就是一万年前的中石器时代。例如，我们做点火，希望这能激励年轻人！在博物馆的花园里，把峡谷的一部分作为背景，这真的很酷，你可以真正沉浸在那一刻。)”可知，Paul描述了他们在博物馆花园中重现中石器时代的活动，并且穿着相应的服装进行火种点燃等展示，以期激发年轻人的兴趣即他参与重建中石器时代的场景。故选C。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Cheddar Gorge is like nothing else in the UK. It’s a unique phenomenon, because although there are other caves in the country, you don’t have the gorge elsewhere. (Cheddar Gorge在英国是独一无二的。这是一种独特的现象，因为尽管这个国家还有其他洞穴，但你在其他地方没有峡谷。)”以及第四段中“The Cheddar Gorge spirit is strong. (The Cheddar Gorge的精神是很强劲的)以及第五段中“Every day at Cheddar Gorge and Caves is different. (在Cheddar Gorge和洞穴的每一天都不一样。)”以及第六段中“My favourite spot is when you go past the peak on the walk and you can look back down into the gorge or across to the reservoir. (我最喜欢的地方是当你走过山顶时，你可以回头看到峡谷或对面的水库。)”以及通读全文可知，整篇文章都围绕PAUL HEMINGTON对Cheddar Gorge的热情和对其自然美丽、野生动物、地质学和史前历史等方面的认识和喜爱进行了描述。因此，他谈论的主题是Cheddar Gorge对他来说有什么特别之处。故选D。 C If you were to ask me which part of the body most vividly (生动地) expresses information about our emotions, I would say it’s the lips. That is not to say the eyes and even the feet don’t show emotions, but the lips are unique in the way they can show emotions. Our emotion is reflected vividly in the lips. Lips may visibly be out of shape in unusual emotions. In some cases, people’s lips turn red to express they can’t control their emotion. Additionally, people may not say anything but unwillingly accept something with the corners of their mouth pointed downward. Therefore, our lips show a lot of information. Once you realize these, you can help others in an emotional situation. The lips are highly sensitive to touch and temperature, and they are also highly reactive to our emotional states. The lips react in real time to changing emotions. So, when people receive bad news or see a terrible event, the lips look pale. Lip biting is one of the ways that we comfort ourselves. Sometimes a dry mouth will cause us to do that, but more often it’s a way of reducing stress. Stress can also cause the lips to move awkwardly or the smile to look tense or forced. Certain drugs can also cause similar situations. Unfortunately, these behaviors may be misunderstood, and someone may be thought to be less trusted or confident. As I noted in What Every BODY Is Saying, the human body shows in real time when there is emotional comfort and discomfort, and the lips can help us to understand that others may be struggling and need our attention. And, while many of us tend to focus on the eyes, faces etc. for information about emotional states, don’t ignore the lips, as they are even more likely to show what the heart hides. 28. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. Kinds of ways to express emotions. B. Lip features of someone in bad moods. C. Examples of lips in emotion expression. D. Principles of the changes in lip states. 29. What can we infer about our lips according to the text? A. They can escape outside effects. B. They reflect the negative emotions only. C. They are rich in some colors. D. They are affected by moods immediately. 30. Why are people taking certain medicine often misread? A. Because of their facial expressions. B. Because of their unusual confidence. C. Because of their awkwardness. D. Because of their movements. 31. What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A. Turning to a book helps reduce stress. B. Expressing one’s emotions is important. C. Understanding moods needs several ways. D. Discovering hidden emotions is difficult. 【答案】28. C 29. D 30. A 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要解释嘴唇如何表达情绪、对触摸和温度的敏感性、以及咬嘴唇等行为背后的意义，向读者普及了关于嘴唇与情绪之间关系的知识。 【28题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“Our emotion is reflected vividly in the lips. Lips may visibly be out of shape in unusual emotions. In some cases, people’s lips turn red to express they can’t control their emotion. Additionally, people may not say anything but unwillingly accept something with the corners of their mouth pointed downward. (我们的情绪在嘴唇上得到了生动的反映。在异常情绪下，嘴唇可能会明显变形。在某些情况下，人们的嘴唇会变红，以表达他们无法控制自己的情绪。此外，人们可能什么都不说，但嘴角向下，不情愿地接受某事。)”可知，第二段通过具体的例子，如嘴唇变红、嘴角向下等，展示了嘴唇如何生动地表达情绪。故选C。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“As I noted in What Every BODY Is Saying, the human body shows in real time when there is emotional comfort and discomfort, and the lips can help us to understand that others may be struggling and need our attention. (正如我在《身体语言密码》一书中所指出的，当人体感受到情绪上的舒适或不适时，会实时表现出来，而嘴唇可以帮助我们理解他人可能正在挣扎，并需要我们的关注。)”可知，当人体感受到情绪上的舒适或不适时，会实时表现出来，而嘴唇可以帮助我们理解他人可能正在挣扎。由此可知，我们的嘴唇会立即受到情绪的影响。故选D。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Stress can also cause the lips to move awkwardly or the smile to look tense or forced. Certain drugs can also cause similar situations. Unfortunately, these behaviors may be misunderstood, and someone may be thought to be less trusted or confident. (压力也会导致嘴唇动作笨拙，或微笑看起来紧张或勉强。某些药物也可能导致类似的情况。不幸的是，这些行为可能会被误解，让人认为某人不太可靠或缺乏自信。)”可知，服用某些药物的人的行为会被误解是因为他们的面部表情。故选A。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“And, while many of us tend to focus on the eyes, faces etc. for information about emotional states, don’t ignore the lips, as they are even more likely to show what the heart hides. (而且，虽然我们很多人倾向于关注眼睛、面部等以获取情绪状态的信息，但不要忽视嘴唇，因为它们更有可能隐藏内心的真实想法。)”可知，在文本的最后一段，作者提到我们往往关注眼睛、面部等来表达情绪，但不应忽视嘴唇，因为它们更可能显示内心的真实情绪。这暗示了理解情绪并非只通过单一途径，而是需要综合考虑多个方面，包括嘴唇的变化。故选C。 D On a recent afternoon, dozens of elderly farmers were playing chess in a courtyard, a common scene at the Madongchuan Township Zhaotai Village Mutual Support Nursing Home in Yan’ an, a hilly part of Northwest China’s Shaanxi province. There are no caregivers in sight. Instead, the residents look after one another at the self-service nursing facility, which was rebuilt from a deserted primary school in Madongchuan township. The younger ones grow vegetables in a small path of land nearby. They cook outdoors using a shared kitchen, and the food is delivered to those with mobility issues. After meals, many play chess or chat at their leisure. Local authorities also hired a retired village doctor to oversee the facility so that the residents no longer have to go to the hospital for less severe health problems such as cold and fever. “They were enjoying themselves in the moment, and leading rather independent lives,” Zhao Liwen, secretary-general of Taikang Yicai Foundation, said of her first impression about the residents during a visit in 2019. The Beijing- based charity offered help by donating 1 million yuan to the nursing home. When she arrived, the seniors, all empty-nesters who are either childless or have children working in big cities, were wrapping dumplings together. The scene was a sharp contrast from life in the area more than a decade ago. Village elders used to live lonely lives, scattered (分散) among the remote area and unable to access hospitals and other public services. Then in 2013, a flood washed their homes away, forcing them to move into the nursing facility. The nursing home in Yan’ an is one of the best examples of China’s increasing efforts to take advantage of the strength of “relationship - based communities” in rural (乡村的) areas to ensure fast-graying residents are cared for. Compared with a more commercial or rule-based society in cities, rural communities in China are known to operate through personal connections and mutual trust. The self-sufficient, interdependent culture displayed by the nursing home is being supported by authorities to deal with aging in the countryside. 32. What do the elderly residents do in the nursing facility? A. They use their separate kitchens. B. They enjoy their leisure activities. C. They share advanced medical services. D. They employ caregivers to look after them. 33. What approach does the nursing home in Yan’ an take to deal with the rural aging? A. Following strict regulations. B. Developing mutual cooperation. C. Conducting commercial strategies. D. Promoting individual independence. 34. What is the author’s attitude to the self- service nursing home? A. Objective. B. Indifferent. C. Favorable. D. Disapproving. 35. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. Rural Revival: China’s Approach to Aging Population B. Promoting traditional values: A Tale of Aging in Rural China C. Bridging Generation Gaps: The Story of Yan’ an’s Nursing Home D. Relationship - Based Community: A Nursing Home in Rural China 【答案】32. B 33. B 34. C 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了延安一个自助养老院的故事，展示了农村互助养老模式。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“After meals, many play chess or chat at their leisure. (饭后，许多人在闲暇时下棋或聊天)”可知，护理机构中的老年人享受他们的休闲活动，故选B项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“There are no caregivers in sight. Instead, the residents look after one another at the self - service nursing facility, which was rebuilt from a deserted primary school in Madongchuan township. (这里看不到护理人员。相反，在这个由马东川乡一所废弃的小学改建而成的自助养老院里，老人们互相照顾彼此)”最后一段“Compared with a more commercial or rule - based society in cities, rural communities in China are known to operate through personal connections and mutual trust. (与城市中更加商业化或以规则为基础的社会相比，中国的农村社区通过个人关系和相互信任来运作)”可知，延安敬老院发展互助合作应对农村老龄化，故选B项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The nursing home in Yan’ an is one of the best examples of China’s increasing efforts to take advantage of the strength of “relationship - based communities” in rural(乡村的) areas to ensure fast-graying residents are cared for. (延安的养老院是中国不断努力利用农村地区“关系型社区”的优势来确保快速老龄化居民得到照顾的最好例子之一)”可知，作者对自助式养老院的态度是支持的，故选C项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文及最后一段中“Compared with a more commercial or rule-based society in cities, rural communities in China are known to operate through personal connections and mutual trust. The self-sufficient, interdependent culture displayed by the nursing home is being supported by authorities to deal with aging in the countryside.(与城市中更商业化或规则化的社会相比，中国的农村社区以个人关系和相互信任为基础运作。养老院展示的自给自足、相互依赖的文化得到了当局的支持，以应对农村的老龄化问题)”可知，文章围绕延安农村基于关系型社区的养老院展开，详细描述了其中老人们的生活以及这种社区关系的作用，D项“Relationship - Based Community: A Nursing Home in Rural China (关系型社区：中国农村的一家养老院)”最能概括全文，故选D项。 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。 One of the joys of being a beauty journalist is the helpful advice. A skin expert once looked at my face and said, “You eat lots of sugar, don’t you?” ____36____, but the fact that it was obvious from looking at my skin was not welcome news. It’s called glycation (糖化), and occurs when sugar attaches to fats and proteins (蛋白质). ____37____. Sugar fiends tend to have poor skins as well in places such as the upper lip, because proteins that work to make the skin smooth break down. Added sugar should make up at most 5% of your diet, which is 30g, or seven teaspoons of sugar a day. Sleep can also harm our tolerance (耐受) of sugar, so does stress. There is evidence to suggest that reducing your sugar level can have a positive impact on your skin’s condition. ____38____. But the best way to cut out sugar is to be aware of what you’re eating. Read nutritional (营养的) labels and keep away from processed foods. ____39____. Sugar is a source of energy and is found in fruit, which has fiber (纤维) and other key nutrition that are beneficial to healthy body. And there’s some evidence that eating fruit may help improve skin moisturizing (湿润), which can contribute to smooth skins. Facial expert Dr. Preema Vig says: “____40____, targeted skincare can also relieve the damaging effects.” A useful skincare option is to apply face cream to slow down proteins decrease and glycation. A. This doesn’t apply to natural sources of sugar. B. That is annoying for those of us with a sweet tooth. C. Sugar has been linked to a variety of diseases. D. I was addicted to coffee and cookies at that time. E. It causes a loss of softness in the skin, lines and dark spots. F. Because choosing an appropriate skincare product matters a lot. G. While diet can slow glycation by limiting sugar in the blood. 【答案】36. D 37. E 38. B 39. A 40. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了糖化现象对皮肤的影响作用。 【36题详解】 上文“You eat lots of sugar, don’t you? (你吃了很多糖，是吗?)”提到了吃糖的问题，选项D中caffeine and cookies是关键词，与上文的sugar呼应，所以选项D：I was addicted to coffee and cookies at that time(那时我对咖啡和饼干上瘾)符合题意。故选D项。 【37题详解】 上文“It’s called glycation(糖化), and occurs when sugar attaches to fats and proteins(蛋白质). (这被称为糖化，当糖附着在脂肪和蛋白质上时就会发生)”提到了糖化问题，E选项: It causes a loss of softness in the skin, lines and dark spots(它会导致皮肤失去柔软度，出现皱纹和黑斑)说明了糖化产生的后果，和上文构成顺承关系。故选E项。 【38题详解】 上文“There is evidence to suggest that reducing your sugar level can have a positive impact on your skin’s condition. (有证据表明，降低血糖水平可以对皮肤状况产生积极影响。)”提到了降低血糖的好处，选项B中that是关键词，指代上文提到的“降低血糖”这件事情，所以B选项：That is annoying for those of us with a sweet tooth(这对我们这些爱吃甜食的人来说是很烦人的)能承接上文，符合题意。故选B项。 【39题详解】 下文“Sugar is a source of energy and is found in fruit, which has fiber(纤维) and other key nutrition that are beneficial to healthy body (糖是能量的来源，水果中含有纤维和其他对身体健康有益的关键营养)”提到了水果中的营养，即天然来源的糖，选项A中natural sources of sugar是关键词，与下文提到的水果中营养相呼应，所以A选项：This doesn’t apply to natural sources of sugar (这并不适用于天然来源的糖)符合题意。故选A项。 【40题详解】 下文“targeted skincare can relieve the damaging effects.(有针对性的护肤可以减轻损害作用。)”提到了减轻损害作用的方法，G选项：While diet can slow glycation by limiting sugar in the blood(而饮食可以通过限制血液中的糖来减缓糖化)提到了减缓糖化作用的方法，与下文提到的减轻损害作用相呼应。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1.5分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、的四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Sarkar is a nanotechnologist (纳米技术专家) and assistant professor at MIT.

Mrs. Du just said my name - for leading the performance in the opening ceremony for the upcoming sports meeting! Our class had chosen the theme of “Unity in Diversity.” We were required to celebrate the different cultures represented in our country. Not the event I had wished! Beads of sweat popped out from my forehead. Morgan, my best friend and fellow dancer, pressed her elbow into my side, trying to offer some moral support. “Maybe Du has more confidence in you than you think.” “Or maybe She just wants to give the rest a laugh when I struggle through the track,” I thought desperately. I walked toward Mrs. Du and told her about my worries and my desire to quit this performance. She frowned and asked if that was what I really wanted. I hesitated. She smiled and urged me to go practice as much as possible. The first practice was a disaster. I struggled with the music. My feet felt clumsy (笨拙的), and my movements were ridiculous. I felt like everyone was watching, maybe even laughing at my attempts, and my stomach twisted with embarrassment. What if I tripped? What if I forgot the moves? The next day at school, Morgan asked if we could practice together. We met in the gym after classes, and as we danced side by side, I started to feel better. We began with some warm-up exercises, stretching our bodies and relaxing our muscles. I felt the tightness in my legs ease as we laughed and tried out silly dance moves. As we practiced, some of our classmates joined us “We’re all in this together!” We practiced the tricky sections again and again, each time growing more confident. My classmates cheered each time I nailed a move, and their encouragement made me feel stronger. “You’ve got this!” Morgan said, smiling brightly. Finally, the big day came. The atmosphere was electric with expectation and the classmates were buzzing with excitement. I took a deep breath, reminding myself of all the hard work we had put into this moment. 注意: (1)续写词数应为150个左右; (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 When it was finally our turn, a wave of nerves hit me again. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As we finished our performance, the crowd erupted into applause. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】When it was finally our turn, a wave of nerves hit me again. My heart pounded in my chest as I stepped onto the stage. The lights were bright, and the audience seemed to stretch on endlessly. I could see Mrs. Du in the front row, her eyes filled with encouragement. Morgan stood beside me, her hand squeezed mine tightly, sending a surge of courage through me. As the music began, I closed my eyes and let the rhythm guide me. My movements became fluid, and I lost myself in the dance. I could feel the energy of the crowd, their anticipation and excitement fueling my performance. I opened my eyes and saw the smiles and nods of approval from my classmates. As we finished our performance, the crowd erupted into applause. The sound of their hands clapping and feet stamping echoed in the auditorium, filling me with a sense of accomplishment and pride. I looked over at Morgan, and we shared a smile, knowing that we had given it our all. Mrs. Du came up to us, her face glowing with pride. “You did an amazing job,” she said, her voice filled with emotion. My classmates surrounded us, congratulating us and telling us how much they enjoyed the performance. In that moment, I realized that taking on this challenge had been worth it. The fear and uncertainty had melted away, replaced by a sense of unity and accomplishment. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者被选为即将举行的运动会开幕式表演的领导者的经历。起初，作者对此并不感兴趣，甚至感到担忧和想要放弃。在第一次练习中，作者遇到了很多困难，感到尴尬和不安。然而，在好朋友Morgan的鼓励和帮助下，作者开始与同学们一起练习，并逐渐克服了困难，提高了自信心。最终，在开幕式的舞台上，作者和同学们一起成功地完成了表演。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“当终于轮到我们上场时，我又一阵紧张。”可知，第一段可描写作者在舞台上心理变化的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“当我们表演结束时，观众爆发出热烈的掌声。”可知，第二段可描写表演结束后观众的反应以及作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：感到紧张——受到观众的鼓舞——感到骄傲——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 充满：be filled with/be full of 引导：guide/instruct 意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 喜欢：enjoy/be fond of 成就感：a sense of accomplishment/a sense of achievement 【点睛】[高分句型1] The sound of their hands clapping and feet stamping echoed in the auditorium, filling me with a sense of accomplishment and pride.（运用了现在分词作状语） [高分句型2] In that moment, I realized that taking on this challenge had been worth it.（运用了that引导宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null
