Shapotou, Zhongwei Shapotou scenic zone, 16 kilometers west of Zhongwei County in the northwestern Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, has become a must-see for tourists who visit Ningxia. Wang Wei, a famous poet in ancient China, recorded the beauty of Shapotou in a poem on a mission to the frontier. The park has many activities on offer, which include drifting on the Yellow River and sliding from a sand dune. Scenic Spot Level: AAAAA Ideal Sightseeing Season: May to early October Ticket Price: 80 yuan ($11.7) Half Price: ①Minors between the ages of 7 and 18; ②Full-time university bachelor or junior degree students with a registered student ID card.

The location of the 1995 movie A Chinese Odyssey attracts many visitors. Scenic Spot Level: AAAAA Ideal Sightseeing Season: May to early October Ticket Price: 50 yuan ($7.32) Half Price: ①Minors between the ages of 7 and 18; ②Full-time university bachelor or junior degree students with a registered student ID card.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍宁夏回族自治区的一些著名的旅游景点。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据Shapotou, Zhongwei中的“Ticket Price: 80 yuan ($11.7) (票价：80元(11.7美元))”和“Half Price: ②Full-time university bachelor or junior degree students with a registered student ID card.(半价：②全日制大学本科或本科以上学历学生，持注册学生证)”可知，80×2+80÷2=200元。所以一对夫妇带一个全日制大学本科生去沙坡头旅游要花200元。故选D。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Zhenbeipu Western Film Studio, Yinchuan中的“Zhenbeipu Western Film Studio, located in Yinchuan city, capital of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, has produced many world-famous films, one of which is Zhang Yimou’s Red Sorghum. (镇北堡西部电影制片厂位于宁夏回族自治区首府银川市，制作了许多世界著名的电影，张艺谋的《红高粱》就是其中之一)”可知，电影《红高粱》的粉丝最有可能选择去银川镇北堡西部片电影制片厂。故选D。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region was established in 1958, which has many famous tourist attractions. (宁夏回族自治区成立于1958年，有许多著名的旅游景点)”及全文可知，文章主要介绍宁夏回族自治区的一些著名的旅游景点。从而推断，本文最有可能来自一本旅游手册。故选B。 B Now, a study proves that gardens are more than just a pretty place. The study, by researchers at Illinois State University, demonstrates that such constructed gardens can have a measurable and positive impact on water quality. Floating gardens are essentially platforms built and wrapped in coconut husks (椰子壳), and filled in with native plantings. As plants grow, they extend their roots into the water. On the North Branch of the Chicago River, non-profit Urban Rivers and its partners are developing a mile-long floating eco-park called the Wild Mile. The re-development of this former industrial canal is Urban Rivers’ important project. As part of the park, floating gardens, attached to shore, are being fixed. The primary aim of the floating gardens is beautification. But the Illinois State team, from the University’s Department of Geology, Geography, and the Environment, saw an ideal setup for a controlled experiment. “We joined it because it’s the perfect opportunity to see if there’s an influence on water quality,” explains lead author Abigail Heath. The study is novel: previous studies have explored floating gardens’ influence on water quality over time, primarily in wastewater treatment ponds, but not over space, in moving water. The project also matches well with Urban Rivers’ broader goals. “The city is interested in bettering water quality,” says Phil Nicodemus, Urban Rivers’ Director of Research. “Happily, Illinois State took part in it later.” Could this small human-made park improve water quality? An average of data collected over the course of the study shows middle but definitive improvement. For example, nitrogen (氮) dropped from 4.69 milligrams per liter in surface water to 4.43 milligrams per liter, a drop of about 1 percent. “Despite how small this garden was, there was measurable improvement in water quality from upstream to downstream,” notes Heath. She and her colleagues see this as a model for how large floating gardens should be to help improve water in similar settings. “Even this tiny garden makes a difference,” she says. 24. What can be inferred from the second paragraph? A. The floating gardens are environmentally friendly. B. The floating gardens are fixed everywhere in the eco-park. C. The floating gardens can help fix the former parks. D. The Urban Rivers were once industrial canals. 25. What is the main reason to build the floating gardens? A. To reduce waste water. B. To attract more visitors to the park. C. To make the surroundings brilliant. D. To help researchers do the experiment. 26. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in Paragraph 4? A. The floating garden. B. The project. C. The treatment of ponds. D. The quality of water. 27. Which of the following could be the best title for the text? A. Floating Gardens: More than Pretty B. The Best Way to Better Water Quality C. A Practical Method of Improving Parks D. Floating Gardens Beautify the City 【答案】24. A 25. C 26. B 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项研究指出，美国伊利诺伊州的漂浮花园不但起到了美观的作用，而且能够有效改善水质。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Floating gardens are essentially platforms built and wrapped in coconut husks (椰子壳), and filled in with native plantings. As plants grow, they extend their roots into the water. On the North Branch of the Chicago River, non-profit Urban Rivers and its partners are developing a mile-long floating eco-park called the Wild Mile.（漂浮花园本质上是用椰子壳包裹起来的平台，里面种满了本地植物。当植物生长时，它们的根会伸入水中。在芝加哥河的北支流，非营利组织“城市河流”及其合作伙伴正在开发一个长达一英里的漂浮生态公园，名为“野生一英里”。）”可知，漂浮花园的用材是椰子壳，其功能是作为生态公园。由此推知，漂浮花园是环保的。故选A。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The primary aim of the floating gardens is beautification.（漂浮花园的主要目的是美化。）”可知，建造漂浮花园的主要目的是让周边环境更加美观。故选C。 【26题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“The project also matches well with Urban Rivers’ broader goals. “The city is interested in bettering water quality,” says Phil Nicodemus, Urban Rivers’ Director of Research. “Happily, Illinois State took part in it later.”（该项目也与“城市河流”更大的目标相匹配。“城市河流”研究主任Phil Nicodemus说：“这座城市对改善水质很感兴趣，令人高兴的是，伊利诺伊州立大学后来也加入了。”）”可知，Phil Nicodemus很高兴伊利诺伊州立大学参与了这个项目，it指代的是上文中提到的The project。故选B。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了一项研究指出，美国伊利诺伊州的漂浮花园不但起到了美观的作用，而且能够有效改善水质。因此，A项“漂浮花园：不止于美丽”可概括文章大意，适合作为文章标题。故选A。 C Los Angeles is a huge city with people from many different walks of life. But we are going to focus on the dream-like part of Los Angeles. Los Angeles—or simply “LA” for short—can be an unreal place, a place like no other. For some it is a city where big dreams come true, but for others it is where their dreams perish in cloud of smog. LA is home to the US motion picture and television industries. Some Americans like to call it The Entertainment Capital of the World. The LA neighbourhood best known for films and movie stars is Hollywood. Millions of people visit Hollywood each year. No trip to Los Angeles is complete without seeing the word “Hollywood” spelt out in huge letters on a hillside. And many actors dream of having their names added to the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Amy Adams attended a ceremony honouring her with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Jan 11, 2017, in Los Angeles. This brings a nickname for Los Angeles, one that is also commonly-used as an expression: la-la land. La-la land can be any place that is fun, far from serious, and out of touch with reality. You can use the expression when talking about the mental state of someone who does not understand what is really happening. You might say that person is “in la-la land”. “La La Land” is also the name of a 2016 movie. It tells the story of a man who wants to be a musician and a woman who wants to be an actress. They meet and fall in love in Los Angeles. The name of the movie suggests both the city’s nickname and the state of being out of touch with reality. You can make the “big time” or make it big in any industry, not just in the movies. 28. What does the underlined word “perish” in Paragraph 2 mean？ A. Die away. B. Come true. C. Build up. D. Become bigger. 29. What do many actors dream of? A. Making lots of money. B. Visiting Hollywood each year. C. Seeing the “Hollywood” spelt out on a hillside. D. Adding their names to the Hollywood Walk of Fame. 30. If a person is in la-la land, he is probably _______. A. funny B. confused C. serious D. happy 31. What is the best title for the passage? A. Big Dreams Come True B. Film Industry C. Welcome to La La Land D. A Successful Place 【答案】28. A 29. D 30. B 31. C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了美国城市洛杉矶——它是一个巨大的城市，有来自各行各业的人。作者还介绍了与洛杉矶相关的表达La-la land。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题，根据第二段“For some it is a city where big dreams come true”（对一些人来说，这是一个梦想成真的城市）以及表示转折的but可知，但对另一些人来说，这是他们的梦想消失（破灭）的地方，由此判断出，划线词的意思是“消失”的意思。故选A项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“And many actors dream of having their names added to the Hollywood Walk of Fame.”（许多演员都梦想着自己的名字被加入好莱坞星光大道。）由此可知，许多演员都梦想着自己的名字被加入好莱坞星光大道。故选D项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“You can use the expression when talking about the mental state of someone who does not understand what is really happening.”（你可以用这个表达来谈论一个不知道正在发生什么的人的精神状态。）由此可知，如果形容一个人“la-la land”，那么这个人可能处于很迷惑的状态。故选B项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Los Angeles is a huge city with people from many different walks of life.”（美国城市洛杉矶是一个巨大的城市，有来自各行各业的人）以及作者还介绍了与洛杉矶相关的表达La-la land。所以短文的最佳标题为“欢迎来到La-la land”。故选C项。 D Why does social media cause feelings of loneliness and lack of confidence? Because instead of being real life, it is impression management, a way of marketing yourself, carefully choosing and filtering (过滤) the picture and words to put your best face forward. Online “friends” made through social media do not follow the normal psychological progression of friendship. You share neither physical time nor emotional conversations over the Internet. You simply communicate photographs and catchy posts to a diverse group of people whom you have “friended” or “followed” based on an accidental interaction. This is not to say that your social media friends can’t be real friends. They absolutely can, but the two are not the same. Generally speaking, there are no unfiltered or casually taken photos on our social media pages because it wouldn’t feel safe to be completely authentic (真实的) and vulnerable (易受伤的) with some of our “friends” whom we don’t actually know or with whom trust has yet to be built. Social media can certainly be an escape from the daily routines, but we must be cautious about the negative effects on a person’s overal psychological well-being. As humans, we are eager for social connection. Scrolling (滚动) through pages of pictures and comments, however, does not provide the same degree of fulfillment as face-to-face interactions do. Also, we tend to idealize others’ lives and compare our downfalls to their greatest accomplishments, ending in feelings of loneliness and lack of confidence. Social media can lead to unhealthy pursuit for perfection. Some people begin to attend certain events or travel to different places so that they can snap that “perfect” photo. However, pictures and posts should be byproducts of life’s treasured moments and fun times, not the planned and calculated image that one is putting out into cyberspace in an attempt to fill insecurities or unmet needs. Ultimately, social media has increased our ability to connect with various types of people all over the globe. It has opened doors for business and allowed us to stay connected to people whom we may not otherwise get to follow. However, social media should feel like a fun experience, not one that contributes to negative thoughts and feelings. If the latter is the case, increasing face to face time with trusted friends and minimizing time scrolling online will prove to be a reminder that your real social network is much more rewarding than any “like”, “follow” or “share” can be. 32. How does social media affect our life? A. It may improve our physical appearance. B. It may make us feel isolated and insecure. C. It may filter our negative impressions on others. D. It may enhance our communication skills. 33. Why do people post photos selectively on social media? A. They do not want to lose their followers. B. They are eager to become famous overnight. C. They do not find all their online friends trustworthy. D. They want to avoid offending any of their audience. 34. What do humans tend to do according to the passage? A. Have more face-to-face interactions. B. Exaggerate their life’s accomplishments. C. Learn lessons from other people’s downfalls. D. Paint a rosy picture of other people’s lives. 35. What does the author advise when online experience becomes unpleasant? A. Stay connected to online friends for suggestions. B. Strengthen ties with real-life friends instead of online friends. C Connect with various types of people all over the globe. D. Avoid negative thoughts and feelings through online pages. 【答案】32. B 33. C 34. D 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议说明文。文章讲述社交媒体扩大了我们的人际关系范围，但会引发孤独感和不自信。我们应该加强与现实生活中朋友的联系。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Why does social media cause feelings of loneliness and lack of confidence? Because instead of being real life, it is impression management, a way of marketing yourself, carefully choosing and filtering (过滤) the picture and words to put your best face forward.(为什么社交媒体会让人感到孤独和缺乏自信？因为这不是真实的生活，而是一种印象管理，一种推销自己的方式，仔细选择和过滤图片和文字，把你最好的一面展现出来。)”和文章第二段“Generally speaking, there are no unfiltered or casually taken photos on our social media pages because it wouldn’t feel safe to be completely authentic (真实的) and vulnerable (易受伤的) with some of our “friends” whom we don’t actually know or with whom trust has yet to be built.(一般来说，我们的社交媒体页面上没有未经过滤或随意拍摄的照片，因为对于一些我们实际上并不了解或尚未建立信任的“朋友”，完全真实和脆弱会让人感到不安全。)”可推知，社交媒体可能会让我们感到孤立和不安全。故选B。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Generally speaking, there are no unfiltered or casually taken photos on our social media pages because it wouldn’t feel safe to be completely authentic (真实的) and vulnerable (易受伤的) with some of our “friends” whom we don’t actually know or with whom trust has yet to be built.(一般来说，我们的社交媒体页面上没有未经过滤或随意拍摄的照片，因为对于一些我们实际上并不了解或尚未建立信任的“朋友”，完全真实和脆弱会让人感到不安全。)”可推知，人们在社交媒体上有选择性地发布照片，是因为他们并不认为所有的网友都值得信赖。故选C。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Also, we tend to idealize others’ lives and compare our downfalls to their greatest accomplishments, ending in feelings of loneliness and lack of confidence.(此外，我们倾向于把别人的生活理想化，把我们的失败和他们最伟大的成就作比较，最终感到孤独和缺乏自信。)”可知，人们往往将别人的生活描绘一幅美好的画面。故选D。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“However, social media should feel like a fun experience, not one that contributes to negative thoughts and feelings. If the latter is the case, increasing face to face time with trusted friends and minimizing time scrolling online will prove to be a reminder that your real social network is much more rewarding than any “like”, “follow” or “share” can be.(然而，社交媒体应该是一种有趣的体验，而不是一种导致消极思想和情绪的体验。如果是后者，增加与值得信赖的朋友面对面的时间，尽量减少上网的时间，这将会提醒你，你真正的社交网络比任何“喜欢”、“关注”或“分享”都要有价值得多。)”可知，当社交媒体让人产生了消极的感受时，作者建议人们加强与现实生活中的朋友而不是网上朋友的联系。故选B。 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Most of us are aware that we must take care of the environment, and the majority of us take steps to save energy and reduce waste and pollution. But recently, some “green truths” have been shown to be only half true, or even completely false. ____36____ Eating local food is good for the environment. It seems like common sense: eating local food should be better for the environment, because it does not need to be transported long distances and kept cold during transport. ___37___ It is the production of food, not its transport, that uses most of the energy and produces most of the greenhouse gases. ____38____ It depends on how long you spend in the shower and how large your bath is. If you spend more than eight minutes in a shower, you'll use as much water as in a bath—about 50 litres of water. Therefore, the key is to keep your shower time as short as possible. Paper shopping bags are better than plastic ones. Plastic bags cause litter and are a danger to wild animals.___39___It takes hundreds of years for plastic to break down, but much less time for paper. Because of this, people think paper bags are the better environmental choice. However, making a paper bag uses four times as much energy as making a plastic bag and up to three times the amount of water. The process also produces more greenhouse gases. ____40____ So, take a reusable bag with you when you go shopping. Environmental awareness is now part of daily life. But it’s worth checking common ideas and opinions to see what's really green. A. They mistake them for food. B. Here are some common ones. C. Unfortunately, it is not that simple. D. It’s better to take a shower than a bath. E. A paper bag is more environmentally friendly. F. In fact, both kinds of bags are bad for the environment. G. When we turn off a machine, it goes into a stand-by state. 【答案】36. B 37. C 38. D 39. A 40. F 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了我们在保护环境过程中的一些常见的错误。 【36题详解】 根据前句“But recently, some “green truths” have been shown to be only half true, or even completely false.(但最近，一些“绿色真理”被证明只对了一半，甚至是完全错误的)”和下文可知，下文具体介绍一些常见错误的“绿色真理”。所以选择项B“Here are some common ones.(这里有一些常见的错误绿色真理)”符合上下文语境。故选B。 【37题详解】 根据前句“It seems like common sense: eating local food should be better for the environment, because it does not need to be transported long distances and kept cold during transport. (这似乎是常识：吃当地的食物应该对环境更好，因为它们不需要长途运输，也不需要在运输过程中保持低温)”和后句“It is the production of food, not its transport, that uses most of the energy and produces most of the greenhouse gases.(消耗大部分能源和产生大部分温室气体的是粮食生产，而不是粮食运输)”可知，上文讲“吃当地食物对环境有好处”是一种常见的错误真理，下文作者解释了原因，表明其中道理，上下文表转折，说明事实并非那么简单。所以选择项C“Unfortunately, it is not that simple. (不幸的是，事情并没有那么简单)”符合上下文语境。故选C。 【38题详解】 根据下文“It depends on how long you spend in the shower and how large your bath is. If you spend more than eight minutes in a shower, you'll use as much water as in a bath—about 50 litres of water. Therefore, the key is to keep your shower time as short as possible. (这取决于你花多长时间洗澡和你的浴缸有多大。如果你花在淋浴上的时间超过8分钟，你就会用掉和泡澡一样多的水——大约50升水。因此，关键是让你的淋浴时间尽可能短)”可知，淋浴比泡澡更节约水的观点是错误的。所以选择项D“It’s better to take a shower than a bath. (洗淋浴比泡澡好)”符合上下文语境。故选D。 【39题详解】 根据前句“Plastic bags cause litter and are a danger to wild animals. (塑料袋会造成垃圾，对野生动物是一种威胁)”可知，后文应继续陈述塑料袋的缺点，比如它具体如何威胁到野生动物的。所以选择项A“They mistake them for food. (它们误以为塑料袋是食物)”符合上下文语境。故选A。 【40题详解】 根据前文“However, making a paper bag uses four times as much energy as making a plastic bag and up to three times the amount of water. The process also produces more greenhouse gases. (然而，制作一个纸袋所消耗的能量是制作塑料袋的四倍，水的用量是制作塑料袋的三倍。这个过程也会产生更多的温室气体)”可知，事实上塑料袋和纸袋都污染环境。所以选择项F“In fact, both kinds of bags are bad for the environment. (事实上，这两种袋子都对环境有害)”符合上下文语境。故选F。 第三部分 语言运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空(共15小题;每小1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I am very lucky because I enjoy my work very much.

By the end of 2018, China’s railway mileage (总长度) has reached 132,000 kilometers, of ____57____ 29, 000 kilometers were high-speed rail. This accounted for 2/3 of the world’s total high-speed rail tracks, ____58____ (make) China’s high-speed rail system become the world’s largest high-speed rail network. China’s high-speed trains are the same ____59____ those of France’s TGV, German’s ICE and Japan’s Shinkansen. The fast trains with a top speed of 250-350 km/h are called CRH, China Railway High-speed.

Unlike the conventional trains in the past in China, nobody is allowed ____61____ (smoke) on high-speed trains, not even between carriages.

He came from the round, green mountains of Vermont to the Sonoran Desert where the mountains were sharp, brown, and wrinkled. Carl was homesick. Carl’s new home was the town of Silverbell. Silverbell sat near a river with the same name. But there was not a drop of water in this river. Carl hadn’t made any real friends yet. He always walked home from school alone. One day, though, he heard a lonely melody (旋律) floating in the wind. It sounded wonderful-and fitted Carl’s mood just right. He followed the music to the schoolyard and found Tadio, the kid who always sat by himself in the lunchroom. He sat on the steps playing a wooden flute (长笛). “That song is wonderful!” Carl said. “Thank you,” Tadio said with a bright, sunny smile. “I’m Carl. I play, too.” He took out bis own silver flute. “Ah, my name is Tadio. Let’s play together.” Carl joined Tadio. They played Ode to Joy, a piece that they both knew by heart. The two got along so well that Carl felt comfortable telling Tadio about his homesickness. “It just doesn’t feel like winter around here,” Carl said. “I don’t think it ever will. It’s too hot.” Tadio said, “It feels like winter to me, but I’ve lived in Silverbell my whole life.” “So, why is it called Silverbell anyway?” asked Carl. “Because of the canyon (峡谷). My grandfather said at special times, one could hear her ring like a silver bell…for example when the rain poured down,” Tadio said. Then Carl complained about Principal Ramire’s request for his flute solo at tomorrow’s winter concert. “Ah, you are shy, but you play very well. Let’s meet tomorrow before the concert to practice. Maybe that will help ease your fear. I know a spot beside the canyon where I often go to play. Sometimes, her echo (回音) sounds like she’s singing with me,” Tadio laughed. The next day was sunny and warm. After school, the two boys spread out a blanket beside Silverbell Canyon and played, stopping only when they heard the sound of distant thunder. The rain followed. 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。 As the rain poured down, Carl started to understand what Tadio said earlier. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ He woke up from the amazing scene and joined the other students for the concert. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 As the rain poured down, Carl started to understand what Tadio said earlier. The sound of rain landed on the ground and the echo really sounded as if the canyon was singing with him. She was ringing like a silver bell, which made Carl lost in the song of the echo. Spreading before his eyes was the beautiful scene of the canyon and ringing around his ears was the silver bell. He felt as if he were floating in the canyon, in the air and even back to his hometown, seeing his family waving to him. “Carl, it’s time to go to the concert.” Tadio said. He woke up from the amazing scene and joined the other students for the concert. In the splendid hall were crowds of teachers, students and even parents. Carl felt a little anxious. “Don’t worry, Carl. You can imagine you are in the canyon.” Hearing what Tadio said, Carl began to wandering himself in the center of the beautiful songs echoed in the canyon, feeling much better and relaxed. The concert turned out to be a great success and Carl began to love the place. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为中心展开，主要讲述小男孩卡尔于搬到亚利桑那州之后还没有交到朋友，每天都是一个人从学校走回家。一天，他循着孤独旋律遇到了另一个男孩塔迪奥。塔迪奥告诉他，因为这个地方的峡谷回声，这里被叫做银铃。校长要求卡尔在第二天的冬季音乐会上表演长笛独奏，但他不想去，塔迪奥决定在音乐会前跟他一起练习。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“雨倾盆而下，卡尔开始理解塔迪奥早些时候说的话。”可知，第一段可描写卡尔对这里被叫做银铃有了切身的体会和理解。 ②由第二段首句内容“他从令人惊奇的场景中醒来，和其他学生一起参加了音乐会。”可知，第二段可描写卡尔通过回忆在峡谷时的感受，成功完成了独奏。 2.续写线索：下雨——回声——沉浸其中——回神——参加音乐会——放松——成功 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①降落在…：land on/descend on ②迷失在…：be lost in/lose oneself in ③想象：imagine/visualize 情绪类 ①焦虑的：anxious/nervous ②轻松的：relaxed/light-hearted 【点睛】【高分句型1】The sound of rain landed on the ground and the echo really sounded as if the canyon was singing with him.（由as if引导的方式状语从句） 【高分句型2】She was ringing like a silver bell, which made Carl lost in the song of the echo.（由which引导的非限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025学年第一学期联片办学期中考试 高二英语 试卷 (考试时间：120分钟; 满分150分) 第一部分：听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What means of transport does the woman suggest taking?

B Now, a study proves that gardens are more than just a pretty place. The study, by researchers at Illinois State University, demonstrates that such constructed gardens can have a measurable and positive impact on water quality. Floating gardens are essentially platforms built and wrapped in coconut husks (椰子壳), and filled in with native plantings. As plants grow, they extend their roots into the water. On the North Branch of the Chicago River, non-profit Urban Rivers and its partners are developing a mile-long floating eco-park called the Wild Mile. The re-development of this former industrial canal is Urban Rivers’ important project. As part of the park, floating gardens, attached to shore, are being fixed. The primary aim of the floating gardens is beautification. But the Illinois State team from the University’s Department of Geology, Geography, and the Environment, saw an ideal setup for a controlled experiment. “We joined it because it’s the perfect opportunity to see if there’s an influence on water quality,” explains lead author Abigail Heath. The study is novel: previous studies have explored floating gardens’ influence on water quality over time, primarily in wastewater treatment ponds, but not over space, in moving water. The project also matches well with Urban Rivers’ broader goals. “The city is interested in bettering water quality,” says Phil Nicodemus, Urban Rivers’ Director of Research. “Happily, Illinois State took part in it later.” Could this small human-made park improve water quality? An average of data collected over the course of the study shows middle but definitive improvement. For example, nitrogen (氮) dropped from 4.69 milligrams per liter in surface water to 4.43 milligrams per liter, a drop of about 1 percent. “Despite how small this garden was, there was measurable improvement in water quality from upstream to downstream,” notes Heath. She and her colleagues see this as a model for how large floating gardens should be to help improve water in similar settings. “Even this tiny garden makes a difference,” she says. 24. What can be inferred from the second paragraph? A. The floating gardens are environmentally friendly. B. The floating gardens are fixed everywhere in the eco-park. C. The floating gardens can help fix the former parks. D. The Urban Rivers were once industrial canals. 25. What is the main reason to build the floating gardens? A. To reduce waste water. B. To attract more visitors to the park. C. To make the surroundings brilliant. D. To help researchers do the experiment. 26. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in Paragraph 4? A. The floating garden. B. The project. C. The treatment of ponds. D. The quality of water. 27. Which of the following could be the best title for the text? A. Floating Gardens: More than Pretty B. The Best Way to Better Water Quality C. A Practical Method of Improving Parks D. Floating Gardens Beautify the City C Los Angeles is a huge city with people from many different walks of life. But we are going to focus on the dream-like part of Los Angeles. Los Angeles—or simply “LA” for short—can be an unreal place, a place like no other. For some it is a city where big dreams come true, but for others it is where their dreams perish in cloud of smog. LA is home to the US motion picture and television industries. Some Americans like to call it The Entertainment Capital of the World. The LA neighbourhood best known for films and movie stars is Hollywood. Millions of people visit Hollywood each year. No trip to Los Angeles is complete without seeing the word “Hollywood” spelt out in huge letters on a hillside. And many actors dream of having their names added to the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Amy Adams attended a ceremony honouring her with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Jan 11, 2017, in Los Angeles. This brings a nickname for Los Angeles, one that is also commonly-used as an expression: la-la land. La-la land can be any place that is fun far from serious, and out of touch with reality. You can use the expression when talking about the mental state of someone who does not understand what is really happening. You might say that person is “in la-la land”. “La La Land” is also the name of a 2016 movie. It tells the story of a man who wants to be a musician and a woman who wants to be an actress. They meet and fall in love in Los Angeles. The name of the movie suggests both the city’s nickname and the state of being out of touch with reality. You can make the “big time” or make it big in any industry, not just in the movies. 28. What does the underlined word “perish” in Paragraph 2 mean？ A. Die away. B. Come true. C. Build up. D. Become bigger. 29. What do many actors dream of? A. Making lots of money. B. Visiting Hollywood each year. C. Seeing the “Hollywood” spelt out on a hillside. D. Adding their names to the Hollywood Walk of Fame. 30. If a person is in la-la land, he is probably _______. A. funny B. confused C. serious D. happy 31. What is the best title for the passage? A. Big Dreams Come True B. Film Industry C. Welcome to La La Land D. A Successful Place D Why does social media cause feelings of loneliness and lack of confidence? Because instead of being real life, it is impression management, a way of marketing yourself, carefully choosing and filtering (过滤) the picture and words to put your best face forward. Online “friends” made through social media do not follow the normal psychological progression of friendship. You share neither physical time nor emotional conversations over the Internet. You simply communicate photographs and catchy posts to a diverse group of people whom you have “friended” or “followed” based on an accidental interaction. This is not to say that your social media friends can’t be real friends. They absolutely can, but the two are not the same. Generally speaking, there are no unfiltered or casually taken photos on our social media pages because it wouldn’t feel safe to be completely authentic (真实的) and vulnerable (易受伤的) with some of our “friends” whom we don’t actually know or with whom trust has yet to be built. Social media can certainly be an escape from the daily routines, but we must be cautious about the negative effects on a person’s overal psychological well-being. As humans, we are eager for social connection. Scrolling (滚动) through pages of pictures and comments, however, does not provide the same degree of fulfillment as face-to-face interactions do. Also, we tend to idealize others’ lives and compare our downfalls to their greatest accomplishments, ending in feelings of loneliness and lack of confidence. Social media can lead to unhealthy pursuit for perfection. Some people begin to attend certain events or travel to different places so that they can snap that “perfect” photo. However, pictures and posts should be byproducts of life’s treasured moments and fun times, not the planned and calculated image that one is putting out into cyberspace in an attempt to fill insecurities or unmet needs. Ultimately, social media has increased our ability to connect with various types of people all over the globe. It has opened doors for business and allowed us to stay connected to people whom we may not otherwise get to follow. However, social media should feel like a fun experience, not one that contributes to negative thoughts and feelings. If the latter is the case, increasing face to face time with trusted friends and minimizing time scrolling online will prove to be a reminder that your real social network is much more rewarding than any “like”, “follow” or “share” can be. 32. How does social media affect our life? A. It may improve our physical appearance. B. It may make us feel isolated and insecure. C. It may filter our negative impressions on others. D. It may enhance our communication skills. 33. Why do people post photos selectively on social media? A. They do not want to lose their followers. B. They are eager to become famous overnight. C. They do not find all their online friends trustworthy. D. They want to avoid offending any of their audience. 34. What do humans tend to do according to the passage? A. Have more face-to-face interactions. B. Exaggerate their life’s accomplishments. C. Learn lessons from other people’s downfalls. D. Paint a rosy picture of other people’s lives. 35. What does the author advise when online experience becomes unpleasant? A. Stay connected to online friends for suggestions. B. Strengthen ties with real-life friends instead of online friends. C. Connect with various types of people all over the globe. D. Avoid negative thoughts and feelings through online pages. 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Most of us are aware that we must take care of the environment and the majority of us take steps to save energy and reduce waste and pollution. But recently, some “green truths” have been shown to be only half true, or even completely false. ____36____ Eating local food is good for the environment. It seems like common sense: eating local food should be better for the environment, because it does not need to be transported long distances and kept cold during transport. ___37___ It is the production of food, not its transport, that uses most of the energy and produces most of the greenhouse gases. ____38____ It depends on how long you spend in the shower and how large your bath is. If you spend more than eight minutes in a shower, you'll use as much water as in a bath—about 50 litres of water. Therefore, the key is to keep your shower time as short as possible. Paper shopping bags are better than plastic ones. Plastic bags cause litter and are a danger to wild animals.___39___It takes hundreds of years for plastic to break down, but much less time for paper. Because of this, people think paper bags are the better environmental choice. However, making a paper bag uses four times as much energy as making a plastic bag and up to three times the amount of water. The process also produces more greenhouse gases. ____40____ So, take a reusable bag with you when you go shopping. Environmental awareness is now part of daily life. But it’s worth checking common ideas and opinions to see what's really green. A. They mistake them for food. B. Here are some common ones. C. Unfortunately, it is not that simple. D.

He came from the round, green mountains of Vermont to the Sonoran Desert where the mountains were sharp, brown, and wrinkled. Carl was homesick. Carl’s new home was the town of Silverbell. Silverbell sat near a river with the same name. But there was not a drop of water in this river. Carl hadn’t made any real friends yet. He always walked home from school alone. One day, though, he heard a lonely melody (旋律) floating in the wind. It sounded wonderful-and fitted Carl’s mood just right. He followed the music to the schoolyard and found Tadio, the kid who always sat by himself in the lunchroom. He sat on the steps playing a wooden flute (长笛). “That song is wonderful!” Carl said. “Thank you,” Tadio said with a bright, sunny smile. “I’m Carl. I play, too.” He took out bis own silver flute. “Ah, my name is Tadio. Let’s play together.” Carl joined Tadio. They played Ode to Joy, a piece that they both knew by heart. The two got along so well that Carl felt comfortable telling Tadio about his homesickness. “It just doesn’t feel like winter around here,” Carl said. “I don’t think it ever will. It’s too hot.” Tadio said, “It feels like winter to me, but I’ve lived in Silverbell my whole life.” “So, why is it called Silverbell anyway?” asked Carl. “Because of the canyon (峡谷). My grandfather said at special times, one could hear her ring like a silver bell…for example when the rain poured down,” Tadio said. Then Carl complained about Principal Ramire’s request for his flute solo at tomorrow’s winter concert. “Ah you are shy, but you play very well. Let’s meet tomorrow before the concert to practice. Maybe that will help ease your fear. I know a spot beside the canyon where I often go to play. Sometimes, her echo (回音) sounds like she’s singing with me,” Tadio laughed. The next day was sunny and warm. After school, the two boys spread out a blanket beside Silverbell Canyon and played, stopping only when they heard the sound of distant thunder. The rain followed. 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。 As the rain poured down, Carl started to understand what Tadio said earlier. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ He woke up from the amazing scene and joined the other students for the concert. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null
