B Molly Wogan loves dogs so much that she decided to give up a big party of her life to help them. When she learned many dogs lived in bad conditions or had their lives cut short, she decided to give them back to the dog shelters that had helped her family find their family dogs. So, instead of having a big party for her initiation ceremony (成人礼), she decided to help the dogs. As Molly said, “To be an adult means doing good things, but I didn’t want to focus on a party. I didn’t really need a party, but the dogs need the help.” Molly was already a shelter volunteer helping out once each week. But she decided to take things to the next level. Molly started the Precious Animals Wonderful Shelters Project to help the dogs in bad situations travel across the country to find people who were willing to adopt them. Molly set a target to raise $2,500 in one year to give to 14 local shelters along with items like toys. Over the year, her project grew. Molly ended up volunteering over 400 hours and sold homemade dog toys and treats, and key chains at 45 different events. In just a year, she raised $38,000. Meanwhile she also took two “transport” trips from Georgia to her home state of Massachusetts to move 110 at-risk dogs to the Northeast, where she helped each find a home. With the money she raised, she could get every dog vet visits, food and transport. Molly hopes to save another 100 dogs this year. She is a wonderful example of a young person following her heart and taking action to make the world a better place. Molly is not only saving 100 dogs’ lives, but she is changing the lives of those who adopt them as well. 24. Why did Molly start the project? A. To help the dogs find new homes. B. To get more money to raise dogs. C. To make the dogs visit some cities. D. To help dogs adapt to the environment. 25. Which of the following can best describe Molly? A. Brave and careful. B. Clever and humorous. C. Kind and selfless. D. Cooperative and pretty. 26. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. The praise for Molly. B. The example of adults. C. The situation of the dogs. D. The future of the project. 27. What can we know about Molly from the text? A. She is ready to help more people. B. She became rich for saving many dogs. C. She travelled across the country to raise dogs. D. She has been devoting herself to helping dogs. C A new study involving nearly 50,000 people from four continents offers new insights into identifying the quantity of daily walking steps that will best improve adults’ health and longevity(长寿), and whether the ideal number of steps differs across people of different ages. The study represents an effort to develop an evidence-based public health message about the benefits of physical activity. The often-repeated 10,000-step-a-day saying grew out of a decades-old marketing activity for a Japanese pedometer(计步器), with no science to back it up. Led by physical activity professor Amanda Paluch, an international group of scientists conducted an experiment among adults aged 18 and older. They grouped the nearly 50,000 participants into four comparative groups according to average steps per day. The lowest step group averaged 3,500 steps; the second, 5,800; the third, 7,800; and the fourth, 10,900 steps per day. Among the three higher active groups, there was a 40—53% lower risk of death, compared to the lowest step group. More specifically, for adults 60 and older, the risk of early death leveled off at about 6,000—8,000 steps per day, meaning that more steps than that provided no additional benefit for longevity, while for adults younger than 60, about 8, 000—10,000 steps per day. “So what we saw was this continuing reduction in risk as the number of steps increases, until it levels off. Interestingly, the study found no definitive association with walking speed.” Paluch says. The new study supports and expands findings from another study led by Paluch before which found that walking at least 7,000 steps a day reduced middle-aged people’s risk of early death. “There’s a lot of evidence suggesting that moving even a little more is beneficial, particularly for those who are doing very little activity.” Paluch says. “More steps per day are better for your health.” 28. Why did the scientists carry out the new study? A. To know about people’s health condition. B. To explain the pedometer’s working principles. C. To determine the best physical activity for people. D. To provide a scientific guideline on daily walking. 29. What does the underlined phrase “leveled off” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Turned higher. B. Became stable. C. Fell sharply. D. Changed rapidly. 30. What does the experiment find? A. The old should walk as much as possible. B. Young people usually walk more than the old. C. The most beneficial steps differ by age groups. D. Walking pace is the key to avoiding early death. 31. What does Paluch advise people doing little activity to do? A. To walk more steps. B. To control walking speed. C. To limit walking distance. D. To track the number of steps. D In our daily schedules and busy lives, there are moments when we tend to think about where we are heading in life. Can we say that we are living a successful life, or even heading toward one? How to achieve success in life actually depends on what success means to you. Most people think of success as getting a highly-paid job. But what they are forgetting is that a job is just a means to make your life easier. What is the point of earning a lot of money if you don’t get the time for people who are most important to you in life? After all, you are earning for them and yourself only, right? In addition, it is very difficult to keep a balance for those who are always looking for more and are never happy with themselves currently. It becomes, therefore, necessary to be thankful for all that you have achieved in life and be proud of yourself. Another key is to not only be confident but also respect what others say. A person who respects his elders and values their advice always becomes more successful in life compared to those with overconfidence. Most of us tend to focus on things that we don’t have. For example, you might be sad that you aren’t the manager of your company. However, you don’t understand the fact that there may be thousands of people who are dying to be in the place where you are right now. At times counting the coins in your hand is better than regretting that you didn’t get a gold mine. Obviously, life is to move forward. But then in the end, it is the experience you get from the journey of life that matters, not the destination you are heading toward. Success in life may be different for different people, but living happily each and every moment is the main key to becoming successful in life. So what are you doing now to live a successful life? 32. What does the author think of work and life? A. Work is as necessary as life. B. Earn to live and don’t live to earn. C. A highly-paid job means a successful life. D. It’s hard to keep a balance between work and life. 33. What does the fourth paragraph mainly talk about? A. The importance of keeping moving forward. B. The importance of making use of what you own. C. The importance of having confidence in yourself. D. The importance of being grateful for what you have. 34. What does the author suggest at the end of the text? A. Being proud of yourself. B. Living in the present happily. C. Being different from others in life. D. Determining the destination of your life. 35. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To give us some tips on being successful in life. B. To warn us not to just think about making money. C. To encourage us to be confident about the future life. D. To show us different views of different people on success. 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。 Once a year in a small mountain village, the Mande people gather to hear the folk stories of their traditions. The man playing an instrument called Sosso-Bala while singing is the storyteller. He holds all the folk knowledge of the Mande people. Most of us don’t have a musical instrument that ties us together, but we have someone in our lives who’s the keeper of our folk knowledge. Often it’s a grandmother, who keeps all our stories of wisdom ready to tell upon request.____36____ .What’s the best way to get a baby to sleep? Where do I come from? What’s my moral compass? The stories provide an answer, and it’s useful to speak with someone who knows how things are done. ____37____ Researchers have documented folk knowledge in other species whales returning to parts of the sea that they’d abandoned a generation before; monkeys that communicate hunting skills to their offspring (后代). Folk knowledge is not only culture, it’s also survival.____38____ Traditionally, we share it in small units—families sharing around a dinner table.____39____Look at any social median, and you’ll see folk knowledge at work and at play. It’s exploded as we’re trained to look for information online, rather than from within. In this case, chances are that our questions can be answered with misinformation. But we don’t gather once a year to reality check our “folk stories” as the Mande people do; nor do we center our folk traditions around a musical instrument. The internet has no reality except its own and, left unchecked, its wisdom has no rhythm(节奏).____40____ A. It’s just chaos. B. This is why we do it. C. Human wisdom has been passed down through generations. D. The stories can be useful for dealing with all sorts of doubts. E. Nowadays, folk knowledge has expanded to digital networks. F. Now the internet has made valuable folk wisdom at your fingertips. G. Recently, we discovered that this very human practice isn’t limited to humans. 第三部分 语言运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题; 每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 The Nobel Prize is considered one of the most recognizable and admirable awards possible, ___41___ people of the world for their outstanding achievements in different fields.

I walked slowly and silently down the stairs and tried to walk casually into the kitchen. As I was walking towards the back door, Mum asked without looking up from her “dish-washing”, “Where are you going?” I answered without hesitation, “I’m going to the garden to play.” After I got out of the kitchen, I breathed a sigh of relief. My plan had worked out fine so far. I climbed over the fence and jumped onto the muddy field next to my house and started running towards the bus stop at top speed. After half an hour, I was at the beach scanning the crowd for my friends Jimmy and Bobby. Two young men were racing in their boats. After a while, I spotted my friends near a coconut tree. I ran towards them and got into my swimming trunks (游泳裤). For about an hour, we played volleyball happily. Suddenly, Bobby hit the ball too hard and the ball fell into the sea. Just as Bobby was about to pick up the ball, the tide came in and carried the ball further and further away from the shore. I wanted to show off my swimming skills so I decided to get the ball for them. I dived into the water and started swimming at a steady pace. After swimming for about ten minutes, I became tired, but when I saw that the ball was only a few feet away from me, I put in an extra burst of speed. However, just as I was about to catch the ball, a very strong current swept the ball further away from me. At that moment, a string of weed (水草) trapped my feet and I could not swim properly. I struggled to float but it was no use. “If I had listened to Mum and Dad, this would never have happened, ” I thought silently. 注意: 1.续写词数应150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Finally, after struggling for a minute or two, I still got pulled underwater. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When I woke up, I was in an empty room lying on a bed. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null 2024-2025学年度(上)沈阳市五校协作体期中考试 高二年级英语试卷 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】 When does the party start?

In June 2015, more than 1,000 people died there during a heat wave. “It was a terrible time,” Shahzad Qureshi said. “We needed to do something about it.” After the heat wave, Qureshi took action. He started Urban Forest. The group plants native trees in cities in Pakistan. Since 2015, Qureshi and his team have helped cool the air by planting 14 urban forests in Pakistan. Twelve are in Karachi. The trees also provide a habitat for a variety of animals and food for the community. And they create a shady spot where people can relax. In 2017, Qureshi helped plant an urban forest at Karachi Grammar School. First, he met with students there. He taught them about how trees help the environment. Then the students pitched in. They helped plant saplings in the schoolyard. “They were excited about the project,” Muneeza Shaikhli says. She’s a principal at Karachi Grammar School. “They themselves had been experiencing the high temperatures in the summer months.” The trees attract birds and colorful butterflies. Students go outside during science class to study the forest. “It’s like a library of native trees in front of the kids,” Qureshi says. “They can identify the native species and insects that are around. It’s a beautiful thing to see.” 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A Elite Summer School Program for High School Students Harvard’s Elite Program for high school students is an intensive two-week summer program designed to give you a glimpse of college life You will live on the Harvard campus during your two-week session while taking a college-level course with other Elite Program students.

When she learned many dogs lived in bad conditions or had their lives cut short, she decided to give them back to the dog shelters that had helped her family find their family dogs. So, instead of having a big party for her initiation ceremony (成人礼), she decided to help the dogs. As Molly said, “To be an adult means doing good things, but I didn’t want to focus on a party. I didn’t really need a party, but the dogs need the help.” Molly was already a shelter volunteer helping out once each week. But she decided to take things to the next level. Molly started the Precious Animals Wonderful Shelters Project to help the dogs in bad situations travel across the country to find people who were willing to adopt them. Molly set a target to raise $2,500 in one year to give to 14 local shelters along with items like toys. Over the year, her project grew. Molly ended up volunteering over 400 hours and sold homemade dog toys and treats, and key chains at 45 different events. In just a year, she raised $38,000. Meanwhile she also took two “transport” trips from Georgia to her home state of Massachusetts to move 110 at-risk dogs to the Northeast, where she helped each find a home. With the money she raised, she could get every dog vet visits, food and transport. Molly hopes to save another 100 dogs this year. She is a wonderful example of a young person following her heart and taking action to make the world a better place. Molly is not only saving 100 dogs’ lives, but she is changing the lives of those who adopt them as well. 24. Why did Molly start the project? A. To help the dogs find new homes. B. To get more money to raise dogs. C. To make the dogs visit some cities. D. To help dogs adapt to the environment. 25. Which of the following can best describe Molly? A. Brave and careful. B. Clever and humorous. C. Kind and selfless. D. Cooperative and pretty. 26. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. The praise for Molly. B. The example of adults. C. The situation of the dogs. D. The future of the project. 27. What can we know about Molly from the text? A. She is ready to help more people. B. She became rich for saving many dogs. C. She travelled across the country to raise dogs. D. She has been devoting herself to helping dogs. 【答案】24. A 25. C 26. A 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了Molly一直致力于帮助那些生活在恶劣条件下的狗寻找新家的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Molly started the Precious Animals Wonderful Shelters Project to help the dogs in bad situations travel across the country to find people who were willing to adopt them.(Molly启动了珍贵动物奇妙庇护所项目，帮助处于恶劣境地的狗在全国各地旅行，寻找愿意收养它们的人。)”可知，Molly开创这个项目是为了帮助狗寻找新家。故选A项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据首段中的“When she learned many dogs lived in bad conditions or had their lives cut short, she decided to give them back to the dog shelters that had helped her family find their family dogs.(当她得知许多狗生活在恶劣的条件下或生命缩短时，她决定将它们归还给帮助她的家人找到他们家狗的狗收容所。)”可知，Molly了解到狗的生活条件很糟糕，决定帮助狗，说明她很善良，根据第二段中的“So, instead of having a big party for her initiation ceremony (成人礼), she decided to help the dogs.(因此，她没有为她的成人礼举办大型派对，而是决定帮助狗。)”可知，Molly放弃了成人礼的舞会，去帮助狗，这说明了她是个无私的人。故选C项。 【26题详解】 主旨大意题。通读最后一段“She is a wonderful example of a young person following her heart and taking action to make the world a better place.(她是一个年轻人跟随她的心并采取行动使世界变得更美好的一个很好的例子。)”以及对她帮助狗所取得成就的介绍可知，该段主要讲述了对Molly表扬。故选A项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据首段中的“Molly Wogan loves dogs so much that she decided to give up a big party of her life to help them.( Molly Wogan非常喜欢狗，以至于她决定放弃一生中的大型聚会来帮助它们。)”，第二段中的“So, instead of having a big party for her initiation ceremony (成人礼), she decided to help the dogs.(因此，她没有为她的成人礼举办大型派对，而是决定帮助狗。)”和第三段中的“Molly was already a shelter volunteer helping out once each week.

The study represents an effort to develop an evidence-based public health message about the benefits of physical activity. The often-repeated 10,000-step-a-day saying grew out of a decades-old marketing activity for a Japanese pedometer(计步器), with no science to back it up. Led by physical activity professor Amanda Paluch, an international group of scientists conducted an experiment among adults aged 18 and older. They grouped the nearly 50,000 participants into four comparative groups according to average steps per day. The lowest step group averaged 3,500 steps; the second, 5,800; the third, 7,800; and the fourth, 10,900 steps per day. Among the three higher active groups, there was a 40—53% lower risk of death, compared to the lowest step group. More specifically, for adults 60 and older, the risk of early death leveled off at about 6,000—8,000 steps per day, meaning that more steps than that provided no additional benefit for longevity, while for adults younger than 60, about 8, 000—10,000 steps per day. “So, what we saw was this continuing reduction in risk as the number of steps increases, until it levels off. Interestingly, the study found no definitive association with walking speed.” Paluch says. The new study supports and expands findings from another study led by Paluch before, which found that walking at least 7,000 steps a day reduced middle-aged people’s risk of early death. “There’s a lot of evidence suggesting that moving even a little more is beneficial, particularly for those who are doing very little activity.” Paluch says. “More steps per day are better for your health.” 28. Why did the scientists carry out the new study? A. To know about people’s health condition. B. To explain the pedometer’s working principles. C. To determine the best physical activity for people. D. To provide a scientific guideline on daily walking. 29. What does the underlined phrase “leveled off” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Turned higher. B. Became stable. C. Fell sharply. D. Changed rapidly. 30. What does the experiment find? A. The old should walk as much as possible. B. Young people usually walk more than the old. C. The most beneficial steps differ by age groups. D. Walking pace is the key to avoiding early death. 31. What does Paluch advise people doing little activity to do? A. To walk more steps. B. To control walking speed. C. To limit walking distance. D. To track the number of steps. 【答案】28. D 29. B 30. C 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了一项新研究对四大洲近5万人进行了分析，确定了能够最大程度改善健康、延长寿命的每日步数，同时调查了不同年龄段的人每日最佳步数是否有所不同。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的“The study represents an effort to develop an evidence-based public health message about the benefits of physical activity. The often-repeated 10,000-step-a-day saying grew out of a decades-old marketing activity for a Japanese pedometer(计步器), with no science to back it up.(这项研究代表了一项关于体育活动益处的循证公共卫生信息的开发工作。这个每天一万步经常被重复的说法源于几十年前日本计步器的营销活动，没有科学依据。)”可知，现有的观点缺乏科学依据，本项研究旨在为科学的走路步数提供证据，由此可推知本研究旨在为日常走路锻炼提供科学指导。故选D。 【29题详解】 词义猜测题。根据画线短语后面的“meaning that more steps than that provided no additional benefit for longevity”可知，多余的步数并不会增加额外的好处，由此可推知步数到达一定量之后降低死亡的风险趋于稳定，不再变化。“leveled off”意为“保持水平，保持平稳发展”，与Became stable意思相近。故选B。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“More specifically, for adults 60 and older, the risk of early death leveled off at about 6,000—8,000 steps per day, meaning that more steps than that provided no additional benefit for longevity, while for adults younger than 60, about 8, 000—10,000 steps per day.(更具体地说，对于60岁及以上的成年人来说，过早死亡的风险稳定在每天6000—8000步左右，这意味着更多的步数对寿命没有额外的好处，而对于60岁以下的成年人来说大约是每天8000—10000步。)”可推知，年龄不同，最佳效果步数也不一样。故选C。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段Paluch所说的“There’s a lot of evidence suggesting that moving even a little more is beneficial, particularly for those who are doing very little activity.(有很多证据表明，多运动一点是有益的，尤其是对那些活动很少的人来说。)”和“More steps per day are better for your health.(每天多走几步对你的健康有益。)”可知，不运动的人，增加走路步数对健康有益，因此可知Paluch建议不运动的人应该增加走路步数。故选A。 D In our daily schedules and busy lives, there are moments when we tend to think about where we are heading in life. Can we say that we are living a successful life, or even heading toward one? How to achieve success in life actually depends on what success means to you. Most people think of success as getting a highly-paid job. But what they are forgetting is that a job is just a means to make your life easier. What is the point of earning a lot of money if you don’t get the time for people who are most important to you in life? After all, you are earning for them and yourself only, right? In addition, it is very difficult to keep a balance for those who are always looking for more and are never happy with themselves currently. It becomes, therefore, necessary to be thankful for all that you have achieved in life and be proud of yourself. Another key is to not only be confident but also respect what others say. A person who respects his elders and values their advice always becomes more successful in life compared to those with overconfidence. Most of us tend to focus on things that we don’t have. For example, you might be sad that you aren’t the manager of your company. However, you don’t understand the fact that there may be thousands of people who are dying to be in the place where you are right now. At times counting the coins in your hand is better than regretting that you didn’t get a gold mine. Obviously, life is to move forward. But then in the end, it is the experience you get from the journey of life that matters, not the destination you are heading toward. Success in life may be different for different people, but living happily each and every moment is the main key to becoming successful in life. So what are you doing now to live a successful life? 32. What does the author think of work and life? A. Work is as necessary as life. B. Earn to live and don’t live to earn. C. A highly-paid job means a successful life. D. It’s hard to keep a balance between work and life. 33. What does the fourth paragraph mainly talk about? A. The importance of keeping moving forward. B. The importance of making use of what you own. C. The importance of having confidence in yourself. D. The importance of being grateful for what you have. 34. What does the author suggest at the end of the text? A. Being proud of yourself. B. Living in the present happily. C. Being different from others in life. D. Determining the destination of your life. 35. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To give us some tips on being successful in life. B. To warn us not to just think about making money. C. To encourage us to be confident about the future life. D. To show us different views of different people on success. 【答案】32. B 33. D 34. B 35. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章探讨了成功生活的定义，指出成功不仅在于高薪工作或物质财富，更在于平衡生活、感恩成就、尊重他人及享受每一刻的快乐。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。 根据文章第二段的“Most people think of success as getting a highly-paid job. But what they are forgetting is that a job is just a means to make your life easier. What is the point of earning a lot of money if you don’t get the time for people who are most important to you in life? After all, you are earning for them and yourself only, right?(大多数人认为成功就是找到一份高薪工作。但他们忘记的是，工作只是让你的生活更轻松的一种手段。如果你没有时间陪伴生活中对你最重要的人，那么赚很多钱又有什么意义呢？毕竟，你只为他们和你自己赚钱，对吧？)”可知，作者对于工作和生活的看法是：挣钱是为了生活，而生活并不是为了挣钱。故选B项。 【33题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第四段的“Most of us tend to focus on things that we don’t have. For example, you might be sad that you aren’t the manager of your company. However, you don’t understand the fact that there may be thousands of people who are dying to be in the place where you are right now. At times counting the coins in your hand is better than regretting that you didn’t get a gold mine.(我们大多数人倾向于关注我们没有的东西。例如，你可能会因为自己不是公司的经理而感到难过。然而，你不明白这样一个事实，即可能有成千上万的人渴望来到你现在所在的地方。有时候，数着手中的硬币总比后悔没有得到金矿要好)”可知，作者认为，我们不应该总是专注于自己没有的东西，而应该对自己所拥有的一切心怀感激。故选D项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。 根据文章最后一段的“Success in life may be different for different people, but living happily each and every moment is the main key to becoming successful in life.(生活中的成功对不同的人来说可能不同，但快乐地生活每一刻是人生成功的关键)”可知，作者建议把握现在，快乐地活在当下才是人生成功的关键。故选B项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。 根据文章第一段的“How to achieve success in life actually depends on what success means to you. (如何在生活中取得成功实际上取决于成功对你意味着什。)”和第三段的“It becomes, therefore, necessary to be thankful for all that you have achieved in life and be proud of yourself. Another key is to not only be confident but also respect what others say. (因此，有必要感谢你在生活中所取得的一切，并为自己感到骄傲。另一个关键是不仅要自信，还要尊重别人说的话)”和第四段的“At times counting the coins in your hand is better than regretting that you didn’t get a gold mine. (有时候，数着手中的硬币总比后悔没有得到金矿要好)”和文章最后一段“Success in life may be different for different people, but living happily each and every moment is the main key to becoming successful in life. (生活中的成功对不同的人来说可能不同，但快乐地生活每一刻是人生成功的关键)”可知，文章主要讨论了如何定义成功以及如何在生活中取得成功。作者就如何才能拥有成功的人生给出了一些建议，即：挣钱是为了生活，而生活并不是为了挣钱；对于自己所拥有的一切心存感激，自信并且尊重他人的意见；把握现在，快乐地活在当下，不要过度执着于赚钱。故选A项。 第二节 (共5小题: 每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Once a year in a small mountain village, the Mande people gather to hear the folk stories of their traditions. The man playing an instrument called Sosso-Bala while singing is the storyteller. He holds all the folk knowledge of the Mande people. Most of us don’t have a musical instrument that ties us together but we have someone in our lives who’s the keeper of our folk knowledge. Often it’s a grandmother, who keeps all our stories of wisdom ready to tell upon request.____36____ .What’s the best way to get a baby to sleep? Where do I come from? What’s my moral compass? The stories provide an answer, and it’s useful to speak with someone who knows how things are done. ____37____ Researchers have documented folk knowledge in other species whales returning to parts of the sea that they’d abandoned a generation before; monkeys that communicate hunting skills to their offspring (后代). Folk knowledge is not only culture, it’s also survival.____38____ Traditionally, we share it in small units—families sharing around a dinner table.____39____Look at any social median, and you’ll see folk knowledge at work and at play. It’s exploded as we’re trained to look for information online, rather than from within. In this case, chances are that our questions can be answered with misinformation. But we don’t gather once a year to reality check our “folk stories” as the Mande people do; nor do we center our folk traditions around a musical instrument. The internet has no reality except its own and, left unchecked, its wisdom has no rhythm(节奏).____40____ A. It’s just chaos. B. This is why we do it. C. Human wisdom has been passed down through generations. D. The stories can be useful for dealing with all sorts of doubts. E. Nowadays, folk knowledge has expanded to digital networks. F. Now the internet has made valuable folk wisdom at your fingertips. G. Recently, we discovered that this very human practice isn’t limited to humans. 【答案】36. D 37. G 38. B 39. E 40.

I walked slowly and silently down the stairs and tried to walk casually into the kitchen. As I was walking towards the back door, Mum asked without looking up from her “dish-washing”, “Where are you going?” I answered without hesitation, “I’m going to the garden to play.” After I got out of the kitchen, I breathed a sigh of relief. My plan had worked out fine so far. I climbed over the fence and jumped onto the muddy field next to my house and started running towards the bus stop at top speed. After half an hour, I was at the beach scanning the crowd for my friends Jimmy and Bobby. Two young men were racing in their boats. After a while, I spotted my friends near a coconut tree. I ran towards them and got into my swimming trunks (游泳裤). For about an hour, we played volleyball happily. Suddenly, Bobby hit the ball too hard and the ball fell into the sea. Just as Bobby was about to pick up the ball, the tide came in and carried the ball further and further away from the shore. I wanted to show off my swimming skills so I decided to get the ball for them. I dived into the water and started swimming at a steady pace. After swimming for about ten minutes, I became tired, but when I saw that the ball was only a few feet away from me, I put in an extra burst of speed. However, just as I was about to catch the ball, a very strong current swept the ball further away from me. At that moment, a string of weed (水草) trapped my feet and I could not swim properly. I struggled to float but it was no use. “If I had listened to Mum and Dad, this would never have happened, ” I thought silently. 注意: 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。 Finally, after struggling for a minute or two, I still got pulled underwater. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When I woke up, I was in an empty room lying on a bed. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Finally, after struggling for a minute or two, I still got pulled underwater. I told myself I should never give up. Then I pulled the weed again with great effort. It finally broke. With all my remaining strength, I managed to swim back to the surface to take a breath. At that moment, I saw the two young men in the boats, who were racing against each other. I was exhausted but I shouted,“Help! Help!” Fortunately, they heard my shouts and raced towards me. By the time they reached me, I had already lost consciousness. When I woke up, I was in an empty room lying on a bed. It was not until a doctor came into the room that I realized that I was in a hospital. Jimmy and Bobby told me the two young men brought me to the shore and sent me to the hospital. After a few minutes, my parents hurried in, anxious and breathless. They scolded me for running out of the house secretly but were also glad that I was not seriously injured. I would never forget the terrifying experience and neither would I show off again. 【解析】 【导语】本文以去海滩为线索展开，讲述作者瞒着妈妈和朋友去海滩，在打排球的时候伙伴将排球打到水中，作者为了展现游泳技术，潜入水中捡球，但被水草缠住，陷入危险中。幸运的是被两个男人救下，送入医院。通过这次可怕的经历使作者决心不再炫耀。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“最后，在挣扎了一、两分钟后，我仍然被拉下了水。”可知，第一段可描写作者落水的情况以及如何得到救助。 ②由第二段首句内容“当我醒来，我躺在一间空房间的床上。”可知，第二段可描写作者被救，醒来后发生的事情及自己的感悟。 2.续写线索：落水——挣扎——被救——醒来——感悟 3.词汇激活： 行为类 成功做某事：manage to do/succeed in doing 看：see/spot 责备：scold/ blame 情绪类 焦虑的：anxious/worried/uneasy 开心的：glad/delighted/happy 【点睛】[高分句型1] I told myself I should never give up. （运用了省略了连接词that的宾语从句） [高分句型2] At that moment, I saw the two young men in the boats, who were racing against each other. （运用了who引导的非限制性定语从句） [高分句型3] Neither will I ever want to show off again.（运用了否定词Neither放句首引出的倒装句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
