Here is a quick overview for you to choose your favorite. The community art festival Location: Central Park The annual community art festival celebrates local talent and creativity. Artists display their works in various mediums, including painting, sculpture, and photography. Live music and dance performances add to the festive atmosphere.

Interactive exhibits make complex scientific concepts accessible and fun. Meet the minds behind the latest tech advancements and explore the future of innovation.

Telescopes are available for public use, and an astronomer will guide you through the stars visible in the night sky. The international food fair Location: Riverside Plaza Satisfy your food desire at the international food fair. A wide range of food stalls (摊位) allow you to taste food from all over the world.

Local artists. B. Creative projects. C. Historical buildings. D. Dance performances. 2. What do the community art festival and the international food fair have in common? A Art. B. Food C. Entertainment. D. Location 3 Where is the text probably taken from? A. A report. B. A dairy. C. A speech. D. A newspaper B Firstly, Mohiuddin was looking at global environmental issues with the hope of finding one that his entrepreneurial (企业家的) spirit could deal with. He would finally focus on plastic use, the overreliance on it in society, and the dangers of plastic pollution in the form of microplastic particles (颗粒). In particular, he wanted to find an alternative to one of the most common plastic products used today: the plastic shopping bag. According to The Better India, he started studying a biodegradable polymer (生物可降解聚合物) that was first formed and researched in the 1980s called PBAT. At the time, it was made with corn and potatoes. After identifying a suitable class of machinery to produce the PBAT bags in Gujarat, his speech on PBAT received nearly $100,000 in seed funding that allowed him to start the project. “I tried to balance both my studies and the operations of the company — from collecting raw material, helping workers to produce bags, to delivering the products in the market,” Mohiuddin told The Better India. “I used to sleep in a corner in the factory.” Overcoming bankruptcy (破产), university studies, and long-term unfinished orders, Mohiuddin’s startup company finally started to make profits, and today produces almost 500,000 bags per year, with a total revenue of $180,000. “I am glad I am able to contribute my part. Not having a normal college life can be tiring sometimes, but in the end, it is all worth it. I feel content when I go back to sleep. But much more needs to be done to make India plastic-free, and I will continue to strive for it,” he adds. 4. What is the primary focus of Mohiuddin’s entrepreneurial efforts? A. To improve traditional plastic products. B. To develop replacements for plastic shopping bags. C. To promote the use of corn in producing. D. To lengthen the use of plastic shopping bags. 5. What was the result of Mohiuddin’s speech on PBAT? A. He received a sum of money for his studies. B. He gained the fund to start his project. C. He got to know many investors. D. He decided to put off the project. 6. What can be inferred about Mohiuddin from paragraph 3? A. He was willing to lose personal comfort for his goals. B. He solved many kinds of environmental issues. C. He considered learning more important than business. D. He sought advice from experts for developing his business. 7. How does Mohiuddin feel about the progress he has made? A. Confused. B. Regretful. C. Satisfied. D. Surprised. C The Ig Nobel Prizes, established in 1991, are an amusing alternative to the distinguished Nobel Prizes, honoring research that “makes people laugh, then think.” The name is a clever wordplay on “ignoble,” meaning something lacking honor, reflecting the humorous and unconventional nature of the discoveries. However, beneath the foolishness often lies great scientific value, showing that curiosity can lead to significant understanding, even from seemingly insignificant questions. The prizes draw attention to a range of odd but fascinating studies. In 2024, some researchers were awarded for demonstrating that real plants can copy the appearance of artificial ones they are planted alongside, revealing the remarkable adaptability of nature. Another 2024 study demonstrated that dead fish can swim upstream by using energy from fast-moving water currents, which could inspire energy-efficient designs in engineering. Additionally, a probability experiment involving more than 350,000 coin throws revealed that a thrown coin is more likely to land on the side it started from, offering unexpected understanding into chance and probability. In previous years, similarly quirky studies have been honored. In 2004, one of the Ig Nobel Prizes was awarded to Jillian Clarke. She investigated the scientific soundness of the “five-second rule,” a popular belief that food dropped on the floor is still safe to eat if picked up within five seconds. Some 2006 Ig Nobel Prize winners found that female malaria mosquitoes （蚊子） are equally attracted to the smell of human feet and Limburger cheese. This research, which won the Biology Prize, suggests that these odors could be used to develop innovative mosquito control methods. Held annually in mid-September, around the time the real Nobel Prizes are announced, the Ig Nobel Prize ceremony is a unique mixture of humor and science, where real Nobel Prize winners present the awards. The event contains a number of running jokes, including Miss Sweetie Poo, a little girl who repeatedly cries out “Please stop, I’m bored”, if speakers go on too long. Paper airplanes are traditionally thrown by the audience, adding to the funny nature of the event. 8. What is the main purpose of the Ig Nobel Prizes? A. To provide an alternative to the traditional Nobel Prizes. B. To recognize research that is purely humorous. C. To recognize humorous science research. D. To award the smallest scientific studies. 9. What does the study of coin throwing reveal? A. Possibility cannot be predicted with certainty. B. Human belief influences the probability of a result. C. The end result is always uncertain, with a 50/50 chance. D. Coins tend to land on the side they start from. 10. What does the underlined word “quirky” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Unusual or unconventional. B. Standard or typical. C. Boring or uninteresting. D. Disordered or unstructured. 11. Who presents the Ig Nobel Prizes to the winners? A. Scientists having a sense of humor. B. Political or social celebrities. C. Real Nobel Prize winners. D. Ig Nobel Prize organizers. D In the past few decades, Ray Kurzweil has made more than 100 forecasts about the future, of which 86% have proven to be accurate. Among his famous predictions is his daring claim that by 2029, artificial intelligence (AI) will pass the Turing test and achieve human-level intelligence. Perhaps his most significant prediction is that the singularity (奇点) will be reached by 2045, marking the point at which human intelligence fully integrates with AI and significantly improves our mental capabilities. Kurzwel’s positive view on the singularity stands in sharp opposition to the warnings from Stephen Hawking, Elon Musk, and Bill Gates, who have voiced concerns about the potential risks of superintelligent AI. These figures fear that AI could become uncontrollable and threaten humanity’s survival. Kurzweil, however, sees AI not as an existential risk, but as a powerful tool for improving human abilities. He argues that AI won’t operate as an independent force but will function within a network designed to work alongside humans, improving rather than replacing our abilities. Kurzweil supports his viewpoint with existing technologies, like brain implants used to treat Parkinson’s disease (帕金森病）, suggesting that the integration process is already in progress. He envisions a future where, by the 2030s, individuals will connect their neocortex—the part of the brain responsible for advanced thinking—to the cloud, improving our memory, creativity, and problem-solving skills. Looking ahead to 2045, Kurzweil believes that the singularity will further enable humanity to address complex global challenges and unlock new levels of intellectual and creative potential. Rather than viewing this transformation as a threat, Kurzweil considers it a valuable opportunity for human progress, as AI will empower individuals to meet their physical and intellectual needs. He argues that this will lead to a society characterized by remarkable growth and achievement. 12. What is the significance of the year 2045 in Kurzweil’s predictions? A. It marks the time AI will beat human intelligence for the first time. B. It is the year when AI will successfully pass the Turing test. C. It is the year when AI will become totally uncontrollable. D. It marks the time human intelligence will completely combine with AI. 13. What concerns do the figures like Hawking, Musk, and Gates have about AI development? A. They believe AI will make humans dependent on technology. B. They fear AI could escape human control and endanger humanity. C. They think AI will make humans lose the ability to talk. D. They predict AI will lead to conflicts between nations. 14. Why does Kurzweil mention brain implants used for treating Parkinson’s disease? A. To show that the human-machine integration has already begun. B. To illustrate the potential dangers of AI in the medical field. C. To argue that AI has already beaten human intelligence. D. To suggest it is possible to find cure for Parkinson’s disease. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Kurzweil’s Dream: The Future of AI B. Kurzweil’s Analysis: AI and Humanity C. Kurzweil’s Prediction: Singularity by 2045 D. Kurzweil’s Warning: The Threat of AI 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。 Small talk is often underrated, yet it’s a crucial social skill that can lead to deeper connections and relationships.

One day, after a fight, I was suspended (使暂时停学) from school. My father, a man of few words but with a strong sense of discipline, decided that it was time for me to learn a hard lesson. The very next day, he took me to a construction site where he worked, and told me to start working. It was a tough job. I had to carry heavy bricks and mix cement in the hot sun. My hands were hurt, and my back ached from the hard work. I had never worked so hard in my life, and the reality of manual labor hit me like a ton of bricks. I was used to the comfort of my school desk and the freedom after class. That was a sharp contrast, and it was a wake-up call. As the days went by, I began to feel a deep sense of guilt. I knew I had let my parents down, and I had wasted the opportunities given to me. I was confused, unsure of what my future held. I started to think about the meaning and value of life. I realized that I had been taking my education for granted. One evening, after a particularly tough day, I sat down with my father. I asked him why he had brought me to that place of sweat and toil. He looked at me with his weathered eyes and said, “My son, I want you to understand that life is not always easy. You have to work hard for what you want. Education is your ticket to a better life, and I don’t want you to waste it.” His words resonated (产生共鸣) with me. I realized that I had been living in a bubble, blind to the struggles of the real world. I decided to go back to school, to make my parents proud and make something of myself. 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。 The next morning, I told my father that I wanted to return to school. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Back at school, I was a changed person. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高二英语试卷 注意事项： 1. 答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 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。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。 例：How much is the shirt?

Not having a normal college life can be tiring sometimes, but in the end, it is all worth it. I feel content when I go back to sleep. But much more needs to be done to make India plastic-free, and I will continue to strive for it,” he adds. 4. What is the primary focus of Mohiuddin’s entrepreneurial efforts? A. To improve traditional plastic products. B. To develop replacements for plastic shopping bags. C. To promote the use of corn in producing. D. To lengthen the use of plastic shopping bags. 5.

C. He considered learning more important than business. D. He sought advice from experts for developing his business. 7. How does Mohiuddin feel about the progress he has made? A Confused. B. Regretful. C. Satisfied. D. Surprised. 【答案】4. B 5. B 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述了Mohiuddin想要解决全球环境问题，不惜牺牲自己舒适的大学生活，致力于发明一种可替代传统塑料袋的生物可降解塑料袋，他对自己所做的贡献感到很满意，觉得一切都很值得。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“He would finally focus on plastic use, the overreliance on it in society, and the dangers of plastic pollution in the form of microplastic particles (颗粒). In particular, he wanted to find an alternative to one of the most common plastic products used today: the plastic shopping bag.(他最终将关注塑料的使用、社会对塑料的过度依赖以及微塑料颗粒形式的塑料污染的危险。特别的是，他想要找到一个替代当今最常见的塑料制品——塑料购物袋——的替代品。)”可知，Mohiuddin主要致力于找到塑料购物袋的替代品，故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“his speech on PBAT received nearly $100,000 in seed funding that allowed him to start the project.(他关于PBAT的演讲获得了近10万美元的种子资金，使他能够启动该项目。)”可知，Mohiuddin关于PBAT的演讲让他获得了启动该项目的资金，故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段““I tried to balance both my studies and the operations of the company — from collecting raw material, helping workers to produce bags, to delivering the products in the market,” Mohiuddin told The Better India. “I used to sleep in a corner in the factory.”(Mohiuddin告诉The Better India：“我试图平衡我的学习和公司的运营——从收集原材料、帮助工人生产袋子到将产品推向市场。我过去常常睡在工厂的一个角落里。”)”可知，Mohiuddin在读书期间就为了努力完成了自己的梦想而奋斗，经常睡在工厂的角落里，故可推知他宁愿失去自己的个人的舒适也要完成自己的梦想，故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“I am glad I am able to contribute my part. Not having a normal college life can be tiring sometimes, but in the end, it is all worth it. I feel content when I go back to sleep.(我感到很高兴我能尽一份我的力量。没有正常的大学生活有时会很累，但最终，这一切都是值得的。当我睡觉时，我感到很满足。)”可知，通过Mohiuddin所说的话可推知，他为自己所取得的成就是感到满足的，觉得一切都是值得的，故选C。 C The Ig Nobel Prizes, established in 1991, are an amusing alternative to the distinguished Nobel Prizes, honoring research that “makes people laugh, then think.” The name is a clever wordplay on “ignoble,” meaning something lacking honor, reflecting the humorous and unconventional nature of the discoveries. However, beneath the foolishness often lies great scientific value, showing that curiosity can lead to significant understanding, even from seemingly insignificant questions. The prizes draw attention to a range of odd but fascinating studies. In 2024, some researchers were awarded for demonstrating that real plants can copy the appearance of artificial ones they are planted alongside, revealing the remarkable adaptability of nature. Another 2024 study demonstrated that dead fish can swim upstream by using energy from fast-moving water currents, which could inspire energy-efficient designs in engineering. Additionally, a probability experiment involving more than 350,000 coin throws revealed that a thrown coin is more likely to land on the side it started from, offering unexpected understanding into chance and probability. In previous years, similarly quirky studies have been honored. In 2004, one of the Ig Nobel Prizes was awarded to Jillian Clarke. She investigated the scientific soundness of the “five-second rule,” a popular belief that food dropped on the floor is still safe to eat if picked up within five seconds. Some 2006 Ig Nobel Prize winners found that female malaria mosquitoes （蚊子） are equally attracted to the smell of human feet and Limburger cheese. This research, which won the Biology Prize, suggests that these odors could be used to develop innovative mosquito control methods. Held annually in mid-September, around the time the real Nobel Prizes are announced, the Ig Nobel Prize ceremony is a unique mixture of humor and science, where real Nobel Prize winners present the awards. The event contains a number of running jokes, including Miss Sweetie Poo, a little girl who repeatedly cries out “Please stop, I’m bored”, if speakers go on too long. Paper airplanes are traditionally thrown by the audience, adding to the funny nature of the event. 8. What is the main purpose of the Ig Nobel Prizes? A. To provide an alternative to the traditional Nobel Prizes. B. To recognize research that is purely humorous. C. To recognize humorous science research. D. To award the smallest scientific studies. 9. What does the study of coin throwing reveal? A. Possibility cannot be predicted with certainty. B. Human belief influences the probability of a result. C. The end result is always uncertain, with a 50/50 chance. D. Coins tend to land on the side they start from. 10. What does the underlined word “quirky” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Unusual or unconventional. B. Standard or typical. C. Boring or uninteresting. D. Disordered or unstructured. 11. Who presents the Ig Nobel Prizes to the winners? A Scientists having a sense of humor. B. Political or social celebrities. C. Real Nobel Prize winners. D. Ig Nobel Prize organizers. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍搞笑诺贝尔奖相关信息。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第一段“The Ig Nobel Prizes, established in 1991, are an amusing alternative to the distinguished Nobel Prizes, honoring research that ‘makes people laugh, then think.’(搞笑诺贝尔奖成立于1991年，是杰出诺贝尔奖的有趣替代品，表彰‘让人发笑，然后思考’的研究)”可知，搞笑诺贝尔奖的主要目的是表彰幽默的科学研究。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段“Additionally, a probability experiment involving more than 350,000 coin throws revealed that a thrown coin is more likely to land on the side it started from, offering unexpected understanding into chance and probability.(此外，一项涉及超过350000次硬币投掷的概率实验表明，投掷的硬币更有可能落在它开始的一面，为机会和概率提供了意想不到的理解)”可知，对投掷硬币的研究表明，硬币往往落在它开始的一面。故选D项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。由第三段“In 2004, one of the Ig Nobel Prizes was awarded to Jillian Clarke. She investigated the scientific soundness of the ‘five-second rule’, a popular belief that food dropped on the floor is still safe to eat if picked up within five seconds. (2004年，吉莉安·克拉克获得了搞笑诺贝尔奖之一。她研究了‘五秒规则’的科学合理性，这是一种流行的观点，即掉在地板上的食物如果在五秒钟内捡起，仍然可以安全食用)”可知，获得奖的研究都是“奇怪”的研究。所以猜测quirky表“不寻常或非常规”的意思。故选A项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。由文章最后一段“Held annually in mid-September, around the time the real Nobel Prizes are announced, the Ig Nobel Prize ceremony is a unique mixture of humor and science, where real Nobel Prize winners present the awards. (搞笑诺贝尔奖颁奖典礼每年9月中旬举行，大约在真正的诺贝尔奖公布的时候，搞笑诺贝尔奖典礼是幽默和科学的独特结合，真正的诺贝尔获奖者在这里颁奖)”可知，真正的诺贝尔奖获得者向获奖者颁发搞笑诺贝尔奖。故选C项。 D In the past few decades, Ray Kurzweil has made more than 100 forecasts about the future, of which 86% have proven to be accurate. Among his famous predictions is his daring claim that by 2029, artificial intelligence (AI) will pass the Turing test and achieve human-level intelligence. Perhaps his most significant prediction is that the singularity (奇点) will be reached by 2045, marking the point at which human intelligence fully integrates with AI and significantly improves our mental capabilities. Kurzwel’s positive view on the singularity stands in sharp opposition to the warnings from Stephen Hawking, Elon Musk, and Bill Gates, who have voiced concerns about the potential risks of superintelligent AI. These figures fear that AI could become uncontrollable and threaten humanity’s survival. Kurzweil, however, sees AI not as an existential risk, but as a powerful tool for improving human abilities. He argues that AI won’t operate as an independent force but will function within a network designed to work alongside humans, improving rather than replacing our abilities. Kurzweil supports his viewpoint with existing technologies, like brain implants used to treat Parkinson’s disease (帕金森病）, suggesting that the integration process is already in progress. He envisions a future where, by the 2030s, individuals will connect their neocortex—the part of the brain responsible for advanced thinking—to the cloud, improving our memory, creativity, and problem-solving skills. Looking ahead to 2045, Kurzweil believes that the singularity will further enable humanity to address complex global challenges and unlock new levels of intellectual and creative potential. Rather than viewing this transformation as a threat, Kurzweil considers it a valuable opportunity for human progress, as AI will empower individuals to meet their physical and intellectual needs. He argues that this will lead to a society characterized by remarkable growth and achievement. 12. What is the significance of the year 2045 in Kurzweil’s predictions? A. It marks the time AI will beat human intelligence for the first time. B. It is the year when AI will successfully pass the Turing test. C. It is the year when AI will become totally uncontrollable. D. It marks the time human intelligence will completely combine with AI. 13. What concerns do the figures like Hawking, Musk, and Gates have about AI development? A. They believe AI will make humans dependent on technology. B. They fear AI could escape human control and endanger humanity. C. They think AI will make humans lose the ability to talk. D. They predict AI will lead to conflicts between nations. 14. Why does Kurzweil mention brain implants used for treating Parkinson’s disease? A. To show that the human-machine integration has already begun. B. To illustrate the potential dangers of AI in the medical field. C. To argue that AI has already beaten human intelligence. D. To suggest it is possible to find cure for Parkinson’s disease. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Kurzweil’s Dream: The Future of AI B. Kurzweil’s Analysis: AI and Humanity C. Kurzweil’s Prediction: Singularity by 2045 D. Kurzweil’s Warning: The Threat of AI 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了关于未来学家雷·库兹韦尔（Ray Kurzweil）对于人工智能（AI）发展的预测与观点。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Perhaps his most significant prediction is that the singularity (奇点) will be reached by 2045, marking the point at which human intelligence fully integrates with AI and significantly improves our mental capabilities.( 他或许最为重要的预测是，到2045年将会达到“奇点”，这标志着人类智能将完全与人工智能融合，并显著提升我们的心智能力。)”可知，在库兹韦尔的预测中，2045年的重要意义在于它标志着人类智能将完全与人工智能结合。这一预测被称为“奇点”，意味着人类与AI的融合将显著提升我们的心智能力。故选D。 13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“These figures fear that AI could become uncontrollable and threaten humanity’s survival. (这些人担心人工智能可能变得无法控制，威胁到人类的生存。)”可知，像霍金、马斯克和盖茨这样的人对人工智能的发展感到担忧的是，他们害怕AI可能会脱离人类控制并危及人类的生存。他们担心AI变得不可控，对人类构成威胁。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Kurzweil supports his viewpoint with existing technologies, like brain implants used to treat Parkinson’s disease (帕金森病）, suggesting that the integration process is already in progress. (库兹韦尔用现有的技术来支持他的观点，比如用于治疗帕金森病的大脑植入物，这表明整合过程已经在进行中。)”可知，库兹韦尔提到用于治疗帕金森病的脑植入物是为了表明人机融合的过程已经开始。他通过这一现有技术来支持自己的观点，即人类与机器的融合正在进行中。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Perhaps his most significant prediction is that the singularity (奇点) will be reached by 2045, marking the point at which human intelligence fully integrates with AI and significantly improves our mental capabilities.( 他或许最为重要的预测是，到2045年将会达到“奇点”，这标志着人类智能将完全与人工智能融合，并显著提升我们的心智能力。)”以及通读全文，文章主要围绕库兹韦尔对未来人工智能发展的预测展开，特别是他关于2045年达到“奇点”的预测，即人类智能与AI完全融合的时间点。因此，C选项“Kurzweil’s Prediction: Singularity by 2045(库兹韦尔预测：2045年将出现奇点)”最能概括文章的主旨。故选C。 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。 Small talk is often underrated, yet it’s a crucial social skill that can lead to deeper connections and relationships.

Knowing##To know 45. to connect 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了语言不仅包括口头表达，还包括音乐和肢体语言等非言语交流形式。 【36题详解】 考查介词。句意：语言是人类社会的一个重要方面，是交流、表达和保存文化的工具。根据空前serving和空后a tool for communication可知，本题考查serve as，为固定短语，意为“作为”。故填as。 【37题详解】 考查形容词。句意：这些非言语交流的形式和言语一样有力。根据空前are just as和空后as spoken words可知，as…as中间用形容词或副词原级，此处指“有力的”，应用形容词powerful作表语。故填powerful。 【38题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：音乐，通常被称为世界语言，超越了文化和语言的障碍。refer在句中应用非谓语动词形式作状语，与逻辑主语Music构成被动关系，所以用过去分词作状语。故填referred。 【39题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：它是一种非言语交流的形式，它能在人们之间建立联系。空处引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词a form of non-verbal communication。先行词指物，且关系词在从句中作主语，所以用关系代词which引导该从句。故填which。 【40题详解】 考查时态和语态。句意：此外，音乐长期以来一直被用作讲故事的一种方式。空处为句子的谓语动词，根据时间状语for a long time可知，句子应用现在完成时态，主语music与谓语构成被动关系，所以用现在完成时的被动语态，助动词用has。故填has been used。 【41题详解】 考查冠词。句意：肢体语言可以在不说一个单词的情况下揭示一个人的情绪、态度和意图。根据空后single word可知，此处表示泛指“一个单词”，应用不定冠词，且single是辅音音素开头的单词，所以应用不定冠词a。故填a。 【42题详解】 考查名词。句意：例如，微笑可以表示快乐，而双臂交叉可能表示防御或不适。根据空前indicate可知，空处需用名词作宾语，此处表示“快乐”，应用名词happiness，是不可数名词。故填happiness。 【43题详解】 考查副词。句意：文化差异可以极大地影响对肢体语言的理解，因此了解这些非言语暗示所处的背景很重要。根据空前can和空后influence可知，空处需用副词significantly修饰动词influence作状语。故填significantly。 【44题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：了解这些不同的交流方式丰富了我们对世界的理解，并允许我们在更深层次上与他人联系。空处在句中作主语，应用动名词形式或者是动词不定式形式，句首单词首字母要大写。故填Knowing。 45题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：了解这些不同的交流方式丰富了我们对世界的理解，并允许我们在更深层次上与他人联系。allow sb. to do sth.为固定短语，意为“允许某人做某事”，空处需用不定式作宾语补足语。故填to connect。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 46. 假定你是李华，交换生Steven在邮件中向你打听你最喜欢的蔬菜。请你用英语给他回一封邮件，内容包括： 1. 介绍你最喜欢蔬菜； 2. 描述原因； 3. 向他推荐该蔬菜。 注意： 1. 写作词数应为80个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Steven， __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Steven, I’m delighted to hear from you.

One day, after a fight, I was suspended (使暂时停学) from school. My father, a man of few words but with a strong sense of discipline, decided that it was time for me to learn a hard lesson. The very next day, he took me to a construction site where he worked, and told me to start working. It was a tough job. I had to carry heavy bricks and mix cement in the hot sun. My hands were hurt, and my back ached from the hard work. I had never worked so hard in my life, and the reality of manual labor hit me like a ton of bricks. I was used to the comfort of my school desk and the freedom after class. That was a sharp contrast, and it was a wake-up call. As the days went by, I began to feel a deep sense of guilt. I knew I had let my parents down, and I had wasted the opportunities given to me. I was confused, unsure of what my future held. I started to think about the meaning and value of life. I realized that I had been taking my education for granted. One evening, after a particularly tough day, I sat down with my father. I asked him why he had brought me to that place of sweat and toil. He looked at me with his weathered eyes and said, “My son, I want you to understand that life is not always easy. You have to work hard for what you want. Education is your ticket to a better life, and I don’t want you to waste it.” His words resonated (产生共鸣) with me. I realized that I had been living in a bubble, blind to the struggles of the real world. I decided to go back to school, to make my parents proud and make something of myself. 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。 The next morning, I told my father that I wanted to return to school. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Back at school, I was a changed person. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 The next morning, I told my father that I wanted to return to school. His face lit up with a smile, a rare sight that warmed my heart. He patted me on the back and said, “I knew you had it in you. Your education is the key to unlocking your potential.” With his encouragement, I felt a renewed sense of determination. I packed my bags and set off for school, ready to face the challenges ahead with a fresh perspective. Back at school, I was a changed person. I no longer sought thrills or got into trouble. Instead, I focused on my studies, participating actively in class and seeking help when needed. My grades improved dramatically, and I even joined the debate team, honing my critical thinking and communication skills. I became a role model for my peers, proving that it’s never too late to change for the better. My father’s words had guided me back on the right path, and I was grateful for the opportunity to turn my life around. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者16岁十分叛逆，总是寻求刺激，经常陷入麻烦，被学校停学了。于是作者的父亲让作者去工地工作，作者体会到了劳动的辛苦，开始回到学校认真学习。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天早上，我告诉父亲我想回学校”可知，第一段可描写父亲很高兴作者想要回去学校的决定，作者也准备以全新的视角面对未来的挑战。 ②由第二段首句内容“在学校的时候，我完全变了一个人”可知，第二段可描写作者开始认真学习，成为了同龄人的榜样。 2.续写线索：想回学校——父亲高兴——准备迎接挑战——专注学习——成绩提高——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①寻找：seek/look for ②释放：unlock/release ③集中：focus on/concentrate on ④指导：guide/direct 情绪类 ①刺激：thrill/excitement ②感激：grateful/thankful 【点睛】[高分句型1] I became a role model for my peers, proving that it’s never too late to change for the better.
