B The famous Spanish painter Pablo Picasso once said, “I always do what I can’t do so that I can learn how to do it.” It strikes a chord with me because that’s exactly what I’ve done these years. One of my earliest memories of doing before learning is of baking scones (烤饼) when I was about 10 years old I wanted to bake them to surprise my mother when she returned home. Before that I’d observed how my mother baked them many times. As I started to try, I didn’t know I shouldn’t handle the dough with my hands too much once I’d added the baking powder. However, I knew exactly how to roll out the dough and use a cookie cutter to cut the scones, because my mom had already taught me. By the time my mom arrived home, the smell of freshly baked scones welcomed her into the kitchen. They were baked to golden brown perfection-flat, as a result of over handling the dough, but they tasted OK. My mom sweetly praised me for my attempt, rather than scolding me for the state of the kitchen, which was like a tornado had just blown! Have my attempts always been successful? I wish! Some of my kitchen disasters were of such proportions that even the dogs wanted nothing to do with them. My gardening failures didn’t live to see another season. But my habit of doing before learning is still helpful. Whatever computer program or application I have to learn I do so by simply starting to use it. I do, learn, and improve. So if you ask me whether I regret that I tend to do first and learn later, I’d say I don’t, because what I have discovered from those is the wisdom to know when it’s OK to do and then learn, and when it’s probably better to learn and then do! 4. What can we learn about the author’s first experience of baking scones? A. She practiced hard before actually trying. B. She turned to her mom when necessary. C. She wanted to perform better than her mom. D. She managed to do it despite a little imperfection. 5. How did Mom respond to the author’s attempt? A. She made improvements to the scones. B. She expressed her appreciation for the job. C. She shared her first experience of baking. D. She was surprised by the mess in the kitchen. 6. What does the author think of her practices of “doing before learning”? A. Most of them have ended up in failure. B. They are just a barely usable method. C. They contribute a lot to her self-improvement. D. They only apply to the learning of specific skills. 7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To stress the importance of keeping learning. B. To show the benefits of doing before learning. C. To encourage people to do something they can’t do. D. To call on readers to change their way of learning. C Rare is the CEO who praises the virtues of a lie- in. According to one survey, two- thirds of the CEOs of large American companies are up by 6 o’ clock; for average Americans the share is less than one in three. For future corporate leaders, the message seems clear: you snooze (打盹), you lose. Bartleby has no such ambitions. But he’s experimented with early starts, and found they not only bring the sense of satisfaction that comes from arriving before your editor. Inboxes can be cleared and tricky problems solved before the flood of emails and meetings, leaving you feeling well prepared for the day ahead. Early birds are certainly held in higher regard. Rolling into the office late is unacceptable in most workplaces. A study published in 2022 found night owls (猫头鹰) were perceived by respondents as being “lazy”, “undisciplined” and “immature”. Rising early is not, though, all upside. Those ready to receive work when the boss arrives may be given more of it. If the early bird gets the worm, the clever worm stays in bed. Urgent tasks often come up during the day, meaning early arrivals may end up working just as late as other colleagues. Waking before sun rise also risks turning you into a bore. Some early risers cannot resist describing how much they get done while night owls hit the snooze button. Others go home early rather than socialize. Night owls, by contrast, let loose. In the eyes of many, late nights are the preserve of youth, while early mornings are seen as for the elderly. Efforts to change your circadian (昼夜节律的) rhythm are likely to end in disappointment, as it is largely a product of genes. Perhaps the best advice is to stop worrying about your body clock. Most people are neither early birds nor night owls, but in between, struggling both in the morning and late evening. That is why most offices operate between 9 and 5— and why they ought to have break rooms. 8. Why does the writer mention the survey in paragraph 1? A. To illustrate the harmful effects of snoozing. B. To praise the healthy sleeping habit of the CEOs. C. To tell the difference between CEOs and average workers. D. To show the possible link between early rising and success. 9. What does paragraph 2 focus on? A. The feelings of early risers. B. The challenges on a workday. C. The benefits of getting up early. D. The preparations before work. 10. What can be a downside of being an early bird? A. Poor public image. B. Increased workload. C. Hug e social pressure. D. Decreased productivity. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Why Do CEOs Prefer Early Mornings? B. How Can We Change Our Body Clock? C. What Is the Science Behind Early Rising? D. Is It Better to Be an Early Bird or a Night Owl? D Ecologist Carl Safina’s latest book focuses on the chimpanzees, the sperm whale and the scarlet macaw. In Becoming Wild: How Animal Cultures Raise Families, Create Beauty, and Achieve Peace, he writes about culture, the structures of societies, and what makes us who and what we are. Safina’s three animals are selected for their variety. Safina warns against thinking about chimpanzees in purely human terms. “We see in them partially formed premiumans caught between being and becoming, a forerunner of humankind,” Safina writes, noting, “Chimpanzees are not our ancestors. Chimps are our contemporaries. They are complete chimpanzees, not half-baked humans.” The main reason for this warning is also one of the central attempts of Becoming Wild: criticize the idea of human exceptionalism. For centuries, scientists and philosophers have fixed that exceptionalism on one thing after another: Humans are the only animals that have language, humans are the only animals that make tools, etc. These have all boiled down to the same idea that only humans have culture. Safina’s book shows that nothing could be further from the truth. Human beings have only recently begun to recognize the animal cultures around them. “Humans use language so much that it has swamped our own ability to recognize nonverbal signals that we ourselves continually display and respond to,” Safina writes. “The world is full of layers and waves of communication.” Becoming Wild describes communication of all kinds. Sperm whales include each other in sonic webs full of vocabulary and even regional dialects. They find meaning in family and group identity by living in stable groups where individuals stay together for decades. Only in sperm whales and humans do group identities extend so far beyond relatives. Like whales, young scarlet macaws closely follow cultural practices. They spend years learning tool-fashioning and developing unique calls learned from their parents. They also learn dialects to enhance group identity. Chimpanzees mirror all the interpersonal complexity of humans. A huge part of chimpanzee life is learning how to make peace through forgiveness. 12. What does Safina think about chimpanzees? A. They are human beings’ ancestors. B. They are randomly chosen for study. C. They are species independent of humans. D. They are the symbol of being and becoming. 13. What is an attempt of Becoming Wild? A. To prove an assumption. B. To challenge a belief. C. To present a fact. D. To evaluate a statement. 14 What does the underlined word “swamped” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Indicated. B. Measured. C. Tested. D. Weakened. 15. What is mainly presented in Becoming Wild? A. The existence of animal culture. B. The uniqueness of human beings. C. The complexity of human society. D. The importance of animal communication. 第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 While most of us work hard to shine at the presentations and speeches we can prepare for, we may find impromptu (即兴的) communication scary. Actually, you just need to learn specific skills to communicate effectively when put on the spot. Here are a few pointers. ____16____What do you want your audience to know? How do you want them to feel, and what do you want them to do? Having a clear objective paired with an awareness of your audience will narrow your focus. Then you can prioritize what to say and choose your exact words more wisely. Organize Your Thoughts. When making formal presentations, most people give a logical structure that audiences can easily follow. But few of us adequately organize thoughts in impromptu situations. ____17____ In fact, the best speakers maintain audience interest by demonstrating connections among specific points, ideas, for example. Listen as well as you talk. ____18____ You should do the opposite: focus on listening so that you can better understand the in-the-moment needs and interests of your conversation partners and respond more effectively. Paraphrasing or asking open-ended follow-up questions can help confirm your understanding and provide extra time to think about your response. Dare to be dull. Don’t feel you need to give a standout performance. One popular saying applies here, “____19____” Listeners are more likely to trust and approve of you when you speak like a human being rather than an actor or a robot. Research shows that the most effective speech includes moderate use of fillers such as “um” and “uh”. The real problem in impromptu communication isn’t an inability to communicate.____20____Fortunately, a measure of experimentation thought, and practice of the skills can make impromptu speaking opportunities your time to shine. A. Identify a communication goal. B. He knows most who speaks least. C. Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. D. It’s being so nervous that we struggle with the talks. E. We may assume that it’s impossible to do so on the fly. F. A clear structure enhances comprehension and engagement. G. Most people obsess over what to say during impromptu encounters. 第三部分 英语知识运用(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，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 The stage lights dimmed, and I took a quick look from behind the heavy black curtains into the ____21____. Blinded by the lights, I quickly ____22____. It seemed that a great number of eyes were looking at me. I entered the stage and began my ____23____, the graduation test of the classical Indian dance. After a decade of learning this art form, I had ____24____ been considered ready to take on the most difficult act. The test is the most important event in a dancer’s life. The performance was undertaken only by the most ____25____ and determined students. It was a difficult process that required much commitment. For more than six months, I spent two to three hours every day ____26____ these dances. Many times, I ____27____ myself to my physical and mental breaking point, but still I would not stop. I could not give up. There was always so much more to do and so much more to ____28____. I discovered a lot about myself in those tiring hours. I learnt that I was far too ____29____ to give up, and I was too proud to prove myself ______30______ after I had set an unrealistic goal.

My father, little sister, and I eyed her in doubt. My sister asked what kind of dog it was. My mother said it was a poodle (贵宾犬) named Pepe. I couldn’t believe she wanted a poodle — especially one with such an ordinary name. But she had made up her mind. “Actually, I’m doing a co-worker a favor,” she said. “The woman who owns Pepe says he hates to be alone and needs children to play with him.” Pepe arrived the next night. His short tail shook happily. I didn’t get very close to him, thinking he should have stayed with his previous owner. My little sister played with him until bedtime, and he would come to me and begged for more attention. I always ignored him. But no matter how I treated him, he’d always like to be with me. He has always been waiting for me at the front door at the end of the day, smiling happily. He seems to know that I will be coming home from school at that time. Every day, he asks me with his eyes to play with him or take him somewhere. At night, he will wait until I fall asleep, leave his bed by the wall heater, walk down the hall and jump onto the end of my bed. One night, while everyone was sleeping, I was in a half dream state. My throat hurt, my eyes pained, and some animal was crying in my ear. I opened my eyes and saw fog in my room. I wondered who left the window open. Pepe cried and bit my pajama sleeve (睡衣袖). Then I woke up and realized that it wasn’t fog in my room — it was smoke. 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Standing up, I couldn’t breathe. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I turned off the burner with Pepe around me. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力答案：1~5 BCBAA 6~10 ACCBA 11~15 BABCB 16~20 AABCC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 大英中学创新部高 2023 级高二上期十月综合素质测评 英语试题 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。录音内容结束后，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，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有 10 秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

One of my earliest memories of doing before learning is of baking scones (烤饼) when I was about 10 years old. I wanted to bake them to surprise my mother when she returned home. Before that I’d observed how my mother baked them many times. As I started to try, I didn’t know I shouldn’t handle the dough with my hands too much once I’d added the baking powder. However, I knew exactly how to roll out the dough and use a cookie cutter to cut the scones, because my mom had already taught me. By the time my mom arrived home, the smell of freshly baked scones welcomed her into the kitchen. They were baked to golden brown perfection-flat, as a result of over handling the dough, but they tasted OK. My mom sweetly praised me for my attempt, rather than scolding me for the state of the kitchen, which was like a tornado had just blown! Have my attempts always been successful? I wish! Some of my kitchen disasters were of such proportions that even the dogs wanted nothing to do with them. My gardening failures didn’t live to see another season. But my habit of doing before learning is still helpful. Whatever computer program or application I have to learn, I do so by simply starting to use it. I do, learn, and improve. So if you ask me whether I regret that I tend to do first and learn later, I’d say I don’t, because what I have discovered from those is the wisdom to know when it’s OK to do and then learn, and when it’s probably better to learn and then do! 4. What can we learn about the author’s first experience of baking scones? A. She practiced hard before actually trying. B She turned to her mom when necessary. C. She wanted to perform better than her mom. D. She managed to do it despite a little imperfection. 5. How did Mom respond to the author’s attempt? A. She made improvements to the scones. B. She expressed her appreciation for the job. C. She shared her first experience of baking. D. She was surprised by the mess in the kitchen. 6. What does the author think of her practices of “doing before learning”? A. Most of them have ended up in failure. B. They are just a barely usable method. C. They contribute a lot to her self-improvement. D. They only apply to the learning of specific skills. 7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To stress the importance of keeping learning. B. To show the benefits of doing before learning. C. To encourage people to do something they can’t do. D. To call on readers to change their way of learning. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者用自己年少时做烤饼的经历来说明“先做后学”的好处。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“By the time my mom arrived home, the smell of freshly baked scones welcomed her into the kitchen. They were baked to golden brown perfection — flat, as a result of over handling the dough, but they tasted OK.(当我妈妈到家时，新鲜出炉的烤饼的香味把她迎进了厨房。由于过度处理面团，他们被烤成金棕色的完美扁平，但味道还不错)”可知，尽管最后作者做的烤饼因为过度手揉而有点扁平，但是味道很好，尽管有一点不完美，但她的尝试成功了。故选D项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“My mom sweetly praised me for my attempt, rather than scolding me for the state of the kitchen (妈妈亲切地表扬了我的尝试，并没有因为厨房的状况而责骂我)”可知，妈妈对作者的尝试表示赞赏。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“But my habit of doing before learning is still helpful. Whatever computer program or application I have to learn, I do so by simply starting to use it. I do, learn, and improve. So if you ask me whether I regret that I tend to do first and learn later, I’d say I don’t, because what I have discovered from those is the wisdom to know when it’s OK to do and then learn, and when it’s probably better to learn and then do!(但我在学习前做的习惯仍然很有用。无论我需要学习什么计算机程序或应用程序，我都是通过简单地开始使用它来做到的。所以，如果你问我是否后悔我倾向于先做后学，我会说我不会，因为我从中发现了一种智慧，那就是知道什么时候可以做，什么时候可以学，什么时候最好学，然后做！)”可推知，作者认为这些在“学习”之前就做出的尝试为她的自我提升做出了很大的贡献。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段“The famous Spanish painter Pablo Picasso once said, ‘I always do what I can’t do so that I can learn how to do it.’ It strikes a chord (引起共鸣) with me because that’s exactly what I’ve done these years.(西班牙著名画家巴勃罗·毕加索曾说过：‘我总是做我做不到的事，这样我才能学会做。’这句话引起了我的共鸣，因为这正是我这些年来所做的)”以及根据最后一段“But my habit of doing before learning is still helpful. Whatever computer program or application I have to learn, I do so by simply starting to use it. I do, learn, and improve. So if you ask me whether I regret that I tend to do first and learn later, I’d say I don’t, because what I have discovered from those is the wisdom to know when it’s OK to do and then learn, and when it’s probably better to learn and then do!(但我在学习前做的习惯仍然很有用。无论我需要学习什么计算机程序或应用程序，我都是通过简单地开始使用它来做到的。所以，如果你问我是否后悔我倾向于先做后学，我会说我不会，因为我从中发现了一种智慧，那就是知道什么时候可以做，什么时候可以学，什么时候最好学，然后做！)”可知，作者写本文的目的是要展示“先做后学”的好处。故选B项。 C Rare is the CEO who praises the virtues of a lie- in. According to one survey, two- thirds of the CEOs of large American companies are up by 6 o’ clock; for average Americans the share is less than one in three. For future corporate leaders, the message seems clear: you snooze (打盹), you lose. Bartleby has no such ambitions. But he’s experimented with early starts, and found they not only bring the sense of satisfaction that comes from arriving before your editor. Inboxes can be cleared and tricky problems solved before the flood of emails and meetings, leaving you feeling well prepared for the day ahead. Early birds are certainly held in higher regard. Rolling into the office late is unacceptable in most workplaces. A study published in 2022 found night owls (猫头鹰) were perceived by respondents as being “lazy”, “undisciplined” and “immature”. Rising early is not, though, all upside. Those ready to receive work when the boss arrives may be given more of it. If the early bird gets the worm, the clever worm stays in bed. Urgent tasks often come up during the day, meaning early arrivals may end up working just as late as other colleagues. Waking before sun rise also risks turning you into a bore. Some early risers cannot resist describing how much they get done while night owls hit the snooze button. Others go home early rather than socialize. Night owls, by contrast, let loose. In the eyes of many, late nights are the preserve of youth, while early mornings are seen as for the elderly. Efforts to change your circadian (昼夜节律的) rhythm are likely to end in disappointment, as it is largely a product of genes. Perhaps the best advice is to stop worrying about your body clock. Most people are neither early birds nor night owls, but in between, struggling both in the morning and late evening. That is why most offices operate between 9 and 5— and why they ought to have break rooms. 8. Why does the writer mention the survey in paragraph 1? A. To illustrate the harmful effects of snoozing. B. To praise the healthy sleeping habit of the CEOs. C. To tell the difference between CEOs and average workers. D. To show the possible link between early rising and success. 9. What does paragraph 2 focus on? A. The feelings of early risers. B. The challenges on a workday. C. The benefits of getting up early. D. The preparations before work. 10. What can be a downside of being an early bird? A. Poor public image. B. Increased workload. C. Hug e social pressure. D. Decreased productivity. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Why Do CEOs Prefer Early Mornings? B. How Can We Change Our Body Clock? C. What Is the Science Behind Early Rising? D. Is It Better to Be an Early Bird or a Night Owl? 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是议论文。文章围绕“早起”的话题展开，讨论了早起的利弊，并从不同角度分析了早起对个人和职场生活的影响。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Rare is the CEO who praises the virtues of a lie- in. According to one survey, two- thirds of the CEOs of large American companies are up by 6 o’ clock; for average Americans the share is less than one in three. For future corporate leaders, the message seems clear: you snooze (打盹), you lose. (很少有首席执行官会称赞睡懒觉的好处。根据一项调查，三分之二的美国大公司的首席执行官会在6点钟起床；对于普通美国人来说，这一比例不到三分之一。对于未来的企业领导人来说，这条信息似乎很明确：你打盹，你就输了。)”可知，本段提到调查的原因是为了说明早起和成功之间可能存在的联系。故选D项。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Bartleby has no such ambitions. But he’s experimented with early starts, and found they not only bring the sense of satisfaction that comes from arriving before your editor. Inboxes can be cleared and tricky problems solved before the flood of emails and meetings, leaving you feeling well prepared for the day ahead. (巴特比没有这样的野心。但他尝试过早起，发现早起不仅带来早于编辑到达的满足感。在电子邮件和会议洪流到来之前，收件箱可以被清空，棘手的问题也可以得到解决，让你为即将到来的一天做好充分准备。)”可知，本段主要讲述了早起的好处。故选C项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Rising early is not, though, all upside. Those ready to receive work when the boss arrives may be given more of it. If the early bird gets the worm, the clever worm stays in bed. Urgent tasks often come up during the day, meaning early arrivals may end up working just as late as other colleagues. (然而，早起也并非都是好处。那些准备在老板到达时开始工作的人可能会被分配更多工作。如果说早起的鸟儿有虫吃，那么聪明的虫子就会赖在床上。紧急任务经常在白天出现，这意味着早到的人可能也会像其他同事一样工作到很晚。)”可知，早起的坏处是可能增加工作量。故选B项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段“Waking before sun rise also risks turning you into a bore. Some early risers cannot resist describing how much they get done while night owls hit the snooze button. Others go home early rather than socialize. Night owls, by contrast, let loose. In the eyes of many, late nights are the preserve of youth, while early mornings are seen as for the elderly. (日出前醒来也有可能让你变得无趣。一些早起的人忍不住会描述他们在夜猫子们打盹时完成了多少工作。另一些人则会早点回家，而不是进行社交。相比之下，夜猫子们则会放松。在许多人眼中，深夜是年轻人的专属，而清晨则被视为老年人的专属。)”以及通读全文可知，本文主要讨论了早起的利弊，所以D项“Is It Better to Be an Early Bird or a Night Owl?(早起好还是夜猫子好?)”是本文最好的标题。故选D项。 D Ecologist Carl Safina’s latest book focuses on the chimpanzees, the sperm whale and the scarlet macaw. In Becoming Wild: How Animal Cultures Raise Families, Create Beauty, and Achieve Peace, he writes about culture, the structures of societies, and what makes us who and what we are. Safina’s three animals are selected for their variety. Safina warns against thinking about chimpanzees in purely human terms. “We see in them partially formed premiumans caught between being and becoming, a forerunner of humankind,” Safina writes, noting, “Chimpanzees are not our ancestors. Chimps are our contemporaries. They are complete chimpanzees, not half-baked humans.” The main reason for this warning is also one of the central attempts of Becoming Wild: criticize the idea of human exceptionalism. For centuries, scientists and philosophers have fixed that exceptionalism on one thing after another: Humans are the only animals that have language, humans are the only animals that make tools, etc. These have all boiled down to the same idea that only humans have culture. Safina’s book shows that nothing could be further from the truth. Human beings have only recently begun to recognize the animal cultures around them. “Humans use language so much that it has swamped our own ability to recognize nonverbal signals that we ourselves continually display and respond to,” Safina writes. “The world is full of layers and waves of communication.” Becoming Wild describes communication of all kinds. Sperm whales include each other in sonic webs full of vocabulary and even regional dialects. They find meaning in family and group identity by living in stable groups where individuals stay together for decades. Only in sperm whales and humans do group identities extend so far beyond relatives. Like whales, young scarlet macaws closely follow cultural practices. They spend years learning tool-fashioning and developing unique calls learned from their parents. They also learn dialects to enhance group identity. Chimpanzees mirror all the interpersonal complexity of humans. A huge part of chimpanzee life is learning how to make peace through forgiveness. 12. What does Safina think about chimpanzees? A. They are human beings’ ancestors. B They are randomly chosen for study. C. They are species independent of humans. D. They are the symbol of being and becoming. 13. What is an attempt of Becoming Wild? A. To prove an assumption. B. To challenge a belief. C. To present a fact. D. To evaluate a statement. 14. What does the underlined word “swamped” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Indicated. B. Measured. C. Tested. D. Weakened. 15. What is mainly presented in Becoming Wild? A. The existence of animal culture. B. The uniqueness of human beings. C. The complexity of human society. D. The importance of animal communication. 【答案】12 C 13. B 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章讲述了生态学家卡尔·萨菲纳的最新著作《野化：动物文化中，它们如何扶持家庭、创造美、赢得和平》，探讨了文化、社会结构以及是什么塑造了我们和动物的特性，并警示不要单纯以人类视角看待黑猩猩，指出人类以外的动物也拥有丰富的文化，有自己的沟通方式和群体认同，挑战了只有人类才有文化的观念。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段““We see in them partially formed premiumans caught between being and becoming, a forerunner of humankind,” Safina writes, noting, “Chimpanzees are not our ancestors. Chimps are our contemporaries. They are complete chimpanzees, not half-baked humans.” (萨芬娜写道:“我们在它们身上看到了处于存在和发展之间的部分形成的优等动物，它们是人类的先驱。黑猩猩不是我们的祖先。黑猩猩是我们的同代人。它们是完整的黑猩猩，而不是不完善的人类。”)”可知萨芬娜认为黑猩猩是独立于人类的物种。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The main reason for this warning is also one of the central attempts of Becoming Wild: criticize the idea of human exceptionalism.( 这个警告的主要原因也是《Becoming Wild》的核心尝试之一：批判人类特殊性的观念。)”可知，Becoming Wild尝试挑战一种信仰。故选B。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线句“Humans use language so much that it has swamped our own ability to recognize nonverbal signals that we ourselves continually display and respond to,” Safina writes. “The world is full of layers and waves of communication.” (萨芬娜写道:“人类如此频繁地使用语言，以至于它已经swamp了我们自己识别非语言信号的能力，而我们自己却在不断地展示和回应这些非语言信号。这个世界充满了交流的层次和浪潮。”)”可知，此处指人类频繁使用语言，减弱了我们识别非语言信号的能力，我们自己却在无意识不断地展示和回应这些非语言信号，因此画线词意思是“淹没，减弱”。结合选项，故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The main reason for this warning is also one of the central attempts of Becoming Wild: criticize the idea of human exceptionalism. For centuries, scientists and philosophers have fixed that exceptionalism on one thing after another: Humans are the only animals that have language, humans are the only animals that make tools, etc. These have all boiled down to the same idea that only humans have culture. (发出这一警告的主要原因，也是《变得野性:批评人类例外论的观点》的核心尝试之一。几个世纪以来，科学家和哲学家们把这种例外论固定在一件又一件事情上:人类是唯一拥有语言的动物，人类是唯一会制造工具的动物，等等。这些都归结为同一个观点:只有人类才有文化。) ”以及第四段“Safina’s book shows that nothing could be further from the truth. Human beings have only recently begun to recognize the animal cultures around them. (萨芬娜的书表明，事实远非如此。人类直到最近才开始认识到他们周围的动物文化。) ”可知Becoming Wild主要表现了动物文化的存在。故选A。 第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 While most of us work hard to shine at the presentations and speeches we can prepare for, we may find impromptu (即兴的) communication scary. Actually, you just need to learn specific skills to communicate effectively when put on the spot. Here are a few pointers. ____16____What do you want your audience to know? How do you want them to feel, and what do you want them to do? Having a clear objective paired with an awareness of your audience will narrow your focus. Then you can prioritize what to say and choose your exact words more wisely. Organize Your Thoughts. When making formal presentations, most people give a logical structure that audiences can easily follow. But few of us adequately organize thoughts in impromptu situations. ____17____ In fact, the best speakers maintain audience interest by demonstrating connections among specific points, ideas, for example. Listen as well as you talk. ____18____ You should do the opposite: focus on listening so that you can better understand the in-the-moment needs and interests of your conversation partners and respond more effectively. Paraphrasing or asking open-ended follow-up questions can help confirm your understanding and provide extra time to think about your response. Dare to be dull. Don’t feel you need to give a standout performance. One popular saying applies here, “____19____” Listeners are more likely to trust and approve of you when you speak like a human being rather than an actor or a robot. Research shows that the most effective speech includes moderate use of fillers such as “um” and “uh”. The real problem in impromptu communication isn’t an inability to communicate.____20____Fortunately, a measure of experimentation thought, and practice of the skills can make impromptu speaking opportunities your time to shine. A. Identify a communication goal. B. He knows most who speaks least. C. Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. D. It’s being so nervous that we struggle with the talks. E. We may assume that it’s impossible to do so on the fly. F. A clear structure enhances comprehension and engagement. G. Most people obsess over what to say during impromptu encounters. 【答案】16. A 17. F 18. G 19. C 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇关于即兴沟通技巧的说明文。文章通过提供具体的建议帮助读者在没有准备的情况下有效沟通。 【16题详解】 下文“Having a clear objective paired with an awareness of your audience will narrow your focus. (拥有一个清晰的目标，加上对听众的了解，将有助于集中你的注意力。)”说明要明确沟通目标并了解听众，空格处需要一个与此相一致的选项，因此A项“Identify a communication goal. (确定一个沟通目标。)”中的关键词goal和本段相符，故选A。 【17题详解】 下文“In fact, the best speakers maintain audience interest by demonstrating connections among specific points, ideas, for example. (事实上，最好的演讲者通过展示特定点和想法之间的联系来保持听众兴趣。)”说明优秀的讲话需要有一定的逻辑结构，因此F项“A clear structure enhances comprehension and engagement. (清晰的结构增强理解和参与度。)”与下文一致，故选F。 【18题详解】 下文“You should do the opposite: focus on listening so that you can better understand the in-the-moment needs and interests of your conversation partners and respond more effectively. (你应该做相反的事情：专注于倾听，这样你就能更好地理解对话伙伴的即时需求和兴趣，并更有效地回应。)”说明在谈话中,我们应该更加注重倾听而不是说话,因此G项“Most people obsess over what to say during impromptu encounters. (大多数人在即兴场合过于纠结于该说什么。)”与下文的do the opposite逻辑相符，故选G。 【19题详解】 下文“Listeners are more likely to trust and approve of you when you speak like a human being rather than an actor or a robot. (当你像一个人而不是演员或机器人那样说话时，听众更可能信任和赞同你。)”说明想要让对方更加信任自己，我们不应该像机器人那样发挥完美，机械回答，应该更像人类一样，有一些小错误，因此C项“Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. (不要让完美成为好的敌人。)”与下文相一致，故选C。 【20题详解】 下文“Fortunately, a measure of experimentation thought, and practice of the skills can make impromptu speaking opportunities your time to shine. (幸运的是，一些实验性思考和技能实践可以使即兴演讲机会成为你发光的时刻。)”可知通过这些小技巧，可以让人们在谈话中发挥出色，从而就不会紧张，因此D项“It’s being so nervous that we struggle with the talks. (正是因为我们太紧张，所以我们在谈话中挣扎。)”与下文相一致，故选D。 第三部分 英语知识运用(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，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 The stage lights dimmed, and I took a quick look from behind the heavy black curtains into the ____21____.

My father, little sister, and I eyed her in doubt. My sister asked what kind of dog it was. My mother said it was a poodle (贵宾犬) named Pepe. I couldn’t believe she wanted a poodle — especially one with such an ordinary name. But she had made up her mind. “Actually, I’m doing a co-worker a favor,” she said. “The woman who owns Pepe says he hates to be alone and needs children to play with him.” Pepe arrived the next night. His short tail shook happily. I didn’t get very close to him, thinking he should have stayed with his previous owner. My little sister played with him until bedtime, and he would come to me and begged for more attention. I always ignored him. But no matter how I treated him, he’d always like to be with me. He has always been waiting for me at the front door at the end of the day, smiling happily. He seems to know that I will be coming home from school at that time. Every day, he asks me with his eyes to play with him or take him somewhere. At night, he will wait until I fall asleep, leave his bed by the wall heater, walk down the hall and jump onto the end of my bed. One night, while everyone was sleeping, I was in a half dream state. My throat hurt, my eyes pained, and some animal was crying in my ear. I opened my eyes and saw fog in my room. I wondered who left the window open. Pepe cried and bit my pajama sleeve (睡衣袖). Then I woke up and realized that it wasn’t fog in my room — it was smoke. 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Standing up, I couldn’t breathe. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I turned off the burner with Pepe around me. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Standing up, I couldn’t breathe. I got down on the floor and moved beneath the smoke. Pepe followed every move of mine, his curly-haired belly dragging on the ground. If I hadn’t been so scared, I would have laughed. We finally arrived in the kitchen, where the smoke was very thick. I coughed heavily, but went forward. Pepe went with me. I covered my face with my pajama top and stood up, only to find that my mother had left a pot, with some oil still in it, on a burner that was still on. I turned off the burner with Pepe around me. I moved on the floor to open the back door. Smoke went into the backyard quickly. Pepe ran out, but returned to follow me as I moved back to wake my family. They had their doors shut, and hadn’t smelled the smoke. My parents and sister woke up finally and we aired out the house, and then gathered in the kitchen to thank Pepe. He saved our lives and earned my respect forever. To this day, I’ve never seen a finer example of unconditional love than a poodle named Pepe. 【解析】 【导语】本文以宠物狗为线索展开，讲述了作者的妈妈带来一只名叫Pepe的贵宾犬，作者并不喜欢，但是Pepe似乎并不在乎，一直对作者很友好，有一天，家里火炉没关，差点儿酿成火灾，Pepe的警觉救了一家人的命的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“站起来，我无法呼吸。”可知，第一段可描写作者在Pepe的陪伴下找到火源。 ②由第二段首句内容“在我身边的时候我关掉了火炉。”可知，第二段可描写作者叫醒家人，感谢Pepe。 2.续写线索：移动——到达——前进——发现——关火——叫醒家人——开窗通风——感谢 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①移动：move/shift ②到达：arrive at/get to 情绪类 ①害怕的：scared/afraid/frightened ②感谢的：thank/be grateful to 【点睛】 [高分句型1] We finally arrived in the kitchen, where the smoke was very thick.
