My mother leaves at dawn to collect cans, and when she returns 12 hours later, I help her pull the shopping cart to the recycling center through the streets of Bushwick. I have kept it a secret all the time. I couldn’t bear the idea of my friends knowing our family live off other people’s garbage. I felt guilty for being embarrassed, but I couldn’t help it. I was not ready to trust someone else. Then I took a college essay course, which required me to write an essay about what had the greatest impact on my personal growth. I chose to write about the impact my neighborhood had on me. At the end, there was just one sentence about can collecting. One day after class, my teacher asked me to discuss my essay draft. “Your story has potential; however, it is not about personal growth. Would you tell me about the can collecting?” So I was faced with sharing my secret. But he was my teacher and I trusted him so I rewrote the essay. Two days later I found out we were expected to read our essays out loud after lunch, but I was ashamed for my peers to know. As I headed down to the cafeteria, I met up with a friend, Mason, who I always have lunch with. I was less talkative, and Mason found that I had something on my mind. I told him I was embarrassed about my family’s story. “You should be proud that your family is struggling to take care of their loved ones.” This was what I needed to hear and I felt like I could finally breathe after all those years of hiding a part of myself. When we got back to class, I felt ready to read my draft out loud. After my classmates listened to my story, they said things like: “Each of our stories is unique to our experience and shapes us.” “Your being ashamed only hurts you.” “Accept your home and community, because they are your true family.” Now, when people ask me what my parents do for a living, I tell them, not with embarrassment or shame but with pride, that my parents are can collectors. 4. Why did the author mention can collecting very briefly in his essay? A. To highlight his family story. B. To hide his long-lasting secret. C. To make his essay persuasive. D.

They offered persuasion. 7. What caused the author to change his attitude towards his family secret? A. Mason’s encouraging words. B. Taking a college essay course C. Reading the essay aloud in class. D. His teacher’s guidance on the essay 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. D 7.

But getting into shape for what Comes after the closing ceremony can be equally important, especially if the end of the Games also means the end of professional competition. Kate Knifton, a first-time Olympian at the 2024 Summer Games in Paris, understands the mental stress that a sudden exit from the highest echelons of competitive life can bring. In 2022 she experienced a near career-ending spine injury. “Your body has a reaction from doing all this training and then suddenly doing nothing at all,” she says. The Olympics is an impressive cultural event — a focus of global public attention, financial investment and media coverage. New international celebrities are produced, and some competitors fall from grace due to various scandals (丑闻). Athletes endure the pressure of representing their country, and winning medals, in front of a worldwide audience. But then “all of that hype (炒作) around being an Olympian ends very quickly, "says Karen Cogan, a sport psychologist. Worrying decisions can follow: do I want to keep competing? Should I pursue a completely different direction or occupation? Such questions can even cause more anxiety if athletes have injuries and need surgery, Cogan says. Briana Scurry, a retired soccer goalkeeper and two-time Olympic gold medalist, knows how tough the transition(转型)can be. Her professional career suddenly froze after a brain injury in 2010. She encourages new Olympians to start thinking about retirement early in their career and ask themselves, “Who am I without my game?” She also recommends making a post-Olympics life plan. This can include signing up for workshops and professional development programs or even booking a vacation or a trip home. Staying in touch with teammates, as well as maintaining some routine physical activity, can offer structure and stability; suddenly stopping exercise can increase depressive symptoms. Still, getting some rest — for both the body and the mind — is equally important. 8 What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. Athletes train hard merely for gold medals. B. Training has to continue after the Olympics. C. Athletes may live a tough life after the Olympics. D. Post-Olympic life requires adjustment for athletes. 9. What does the underlined word “echelons” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Levels. B. Speeds. C. Honors. D. Qualities. 10. What is mainly talked about in the third paragraph? A. The role of media in the Olympics. B. The impact of scandals on athletes. C. Athletes’ post-Olympics life challenges. D. Famous stars produced by the Olympics. 11. What should the athletes do after the Olympics according to Briana Scurry? A. Continue intense training. B. Create a plan for future life. C. Start a new career immediately. D. Disconnect from sports entirely. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了奥运选手在训练和比赛后所面临的转型和心理压力，以及他们如何为奥运会后的生活做准备。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“But getting into shape for what Comes after the closing ceremony can be equally important, especially if the end of the Games also means the end of professional competition.(但是，为闭幕式之后的生活做好准备同样重要，特别是如果奥运会的结束也意味着职业生涯的终结。)”可知，运动员们需要为奥运会后的生活做准备，也就是需要调整自己的状态。故选D。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词上文“a first-time Olympian at the 2024 Summer Games in Paris(2024年巴黎夏季奥运会的新晋奥运选手)”以及常识可知，Kate Knifton参加的奥运会是竞技体育的最高级别。由此可知，划线词为“水平、级别”之意。选项A“Levels (层次)”；选项B“Speeds (速度)”；选项C“Honors (荣誉)”；选项D“Qualities (品质)”。故选A。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第三段内容“The Olympics is an impressive cultural event—a focus of global public attention, financial investment and media coverage. New international celebrities are produced, and some competitors fall from grace due to various scandals (丑闻). Athletes endure the pressure of representing their country, and winning medals, in front of a worldwide audience. But then “all of that hype (炒作) around being an Olympian ends very quickly, "says Karen Cogan, a sport psychologist. Worrying decisions can follow: do I want to keep competing? Should I pursue a completely different direction or occupation? Such questions can even cause more anxiety if athletes have injuries and need surgery, Cogan says.(奥运会是一项令人瞩目的文化盛事——它是全球公众关注、资金投入和媒体报道的焦点。新的国际明星由此诞生，而一些参赛者则因各种丑闻而身败名裂。运动员们承受着在全世界观众面前代表自己的国家并赢得奖牌的压力。但运动心理学家Karen Cogan说，“围绕奥运选手的所有炒作很快就会结束”。随之而来的可能是令人担忧的决定：我是否想继续参赛？我是否应该追求一个完全不同的方向或职业？”Cogan说，如果运动员受伤并需要手术，这些问题甚至可能引发更多的焦虑。)”可知，第三段首先描述了奥运会对运动员的影响以及奥运炒作很快结束的现象。然后又指出运动员在奥运会后面临生活上的挑战和焦虑。因此，第三段主要讨论的是运动员奥运会后的生活挑战。故选C。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“She also recommends making a post-Olympics life plan.(她还建议制定一个奥运会后的生活计划。)”可知，Briana Scurry建议运动员奥运会后应该为未来生活制定计划。故选B。 D Famous works of art are under threat in several ways. Lots of artworks have fallen victim to wars. Natural disasters have also destroyed much of our cultural heritage. Besides, pollution and climate change are putting many works of art at risk. Despite our best efforts, only a small number of famous works of art have managed to survive the test of time. And this is where technology comes in. A major issue with preserving works of art is their constant exposure to air pollutants. To solve the problem, art preservers have been employing the artificial nose. It was initially developed by Kenneth Suslick, a researcher at the University of Illinois, for biomedical purposes. Combined with the technology of electricity and light, the artificial nose has the ability to sniff out pollutants in the air before they can damage the artwork. Surveyors around the globe are creating 3D databases to preserve artworks and sites in digital form. In Syria, a French 3D digitization agency called Iconem has launched a project called Syrian Heritage to preserve local endangered structures and sites. The Iconem team use drones (无人机) to conduct photographic surveys of the area and then use photogrammetry to process and connect the stream of photographs to construct 3D versions. These versions offer a clear view of endangered sites and allow people to virtually visit and interact with select sections of each site. Non-invasive techniques like X-rays can collect valuable data about famous works of art. AI can then use this data to understand patterns, which can be used to restore or recreate images that have been lost forever. For instance, when Rembrandt van Rijn’s The Night Watch was moved to another location. it was unintentionally shortened. Now researchers have used AI to reconstruct the painting. Similarly, three of Gustay Klimt’s paintings that were lost in a 1945 fire in Vienna were recreated with the help of AI. As mentioned earlier, despite our best efforts, only a small number of artworks from the past make it to the future. But thanks to technological breakthroughs, we have a better shot at increasing that number. 12. What can the artificial nose do to protect artworks? A. Detect air pollutants for them. B. Stop them from exposure to air. C. Analyze their biomedical elements. D. Combine it with electricity and light. 13. What does Paragraph 3 focus on? A. Why photos are collected for the database. B. Why Iconem has launched Syrian Heritage. C How artworks are preserved in digital form. D. How 3D technology is created for artworks. 14. Why is Rembrandt van Rijn’s The Night Watch mentioned? A. To show how it was shortened. B. To stress it shouldn’t be moved. C. To reveal the magic function of AI. D. To explain the importance of X-rays. 15. Which of the following would be a suitable title for the text? A. 3D Database Is Linked with Life B. Technology Is Saving Artworks C. AI Can Create Fantastic Artworks D. Only a Few Artworks Stand the Time 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍几种保护艺术品的科学技术。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段“Combined with the technology of electricity and light, the artificial nose has the ability to sniff out pollutants in the air before they can damage the artwork.(结合电和光技术，人工鼻子能够在污染物损坏艺术品之前嗅出空气中的污染物。)”可知，人工鼻可以检测对艺术品有害的空气污染物。故选A项。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。由文章第三段“The Iconem team use drones (无人 机) to conduct photographic surveys of the area and then use photogrammetry to process and connect the stream of photographs to construct 3D versions. These versions offer a clear view of endangered sites and allow people to virtually visit and interact with select sections of each site.(Iconem团队使用无人机对该地区进行摄影调查，然后使用摄影测量来处理和连接照片流，以构建3D版本。这些版本提供了濒危遗址的清晰视图，并允许人们虚拟访问和与每个遗址的选定部分互动。)”以及本段上文可知，本段主要讲艺术品是如何以数字形式保存的。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第四段“ AI can then use this data to understand patterns, which can be used to restore or recreate images that have been lost forever. For instance, when Rembrandt van Rijn’s The Night Watch was moved to another location. it was unintentionally shortened. Now researchers have used AI to reconstruct the painting.(然后，人工智能可以使用这些数据来理解模式，这些模式可以用来恢复或重建永远丢失的图像。例如，伦勃朗的《守夜人》被搬到了另一个地方。它被无意中缩短了。现在，研究人员已经使用人工智能重建了这幅画。)”可知，人工智能可以用来恢复或重建永远丢失的图像，接着提到伦勃朗的《守夜人》是为了揭示人工智能的这一神奇功能。故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。由文章第一段“Famous works of art are under threat in several ways. Lots of artworks have fallen victim to wars. Natural disasters have also destroyed much of our cultural heritage. Besides, pollution and climate change are putting many works of art at risk. Despite our best efforts, only a small number of famous works of art have managed to survive the test of time. And this is where technology comes in.(著名的艺术品在几个方面受到威胁。许多艺术品成为战争的牺牲品。自然灾害也摧毁了我们的大部分文化遗产。此外，污染和气候变化使许多艺术品面临风险。尽管我们尽了最大的努力，但只有少数著名的艺术品能够经受住时间的考验。这就是技术发挥作用的地方。)”以及下文可知，文章主要介绍几种保护艺术品的科学技术，所以B项Technology Is Saving Artworks(技术正在拯救艺术品)符合语境。故选B项。 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项、并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 As a coach of young soccer players, you play a vital role in shaping their skills on the field. ___16___ But how can you fill these values in your young players?

Lai is one of many artists who are eager to show their Chinese heritage at the Edinburgh International Festival, ___38___ has been held every August since its founding in 1947. “People have suggested I sing a few songs in English to attract more local audiences,” she says. “They might be right from a commercial perspective, ___39___ it’s more of my instinct (本能) to sing in my native language, just like babies are born with the instinct to seek for food. When I read Chinese, I can feel that connection—___40___ emotion that I don’t experience with other languages. This reflects the ___41___ (limitation) of languages, as we might be able to understand each other better if we all spoke the same one. But I believe in the power of music in going ___42___ boundaries. A few non-Chinese said they ___43___ (move) by my work, even though they don’t necessarily get the lyrics (歌词). So, I guess, I should stay dedicated to composing in Chinese.” Chinese folk songs might not be an art form as widely heard in the West ___44___ some of the traditional vehicles, such as kung fu or Chinese Calligraphy. However, Lai’s ___45___ (culture) background made her songs poetic, which is reflected in her lyrics. 【答案】36. to sing 37. performing 38. which 39. but 40. an 41. limitations 42. beyond 43. were moved 44. as 45. cultural 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述爱丁堡大学全日制学生赖宏喜在英国街头坚持唱中国民歌。 【36题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：许多人鼓励兼职中国民谣歌手、爱丁堡大学全日制学生赖宏喜用英语唱歌，但她总是坚持用母语作曲和唱歌，即使在英国街头表演也是如此。分析句子可知，这里考查encourage sb to do sth，表“鼓励某人做某事”，所以此空应用不定式作宾补。故填to sing。 【37题详解】 考查状语从句的省略。句意：许多人鼓励兼职中国民谣歌手、爱丁堡大学全日制学生赖宏喜用英语唱歌，但她总是坚持用母语作曲和唱歌，即使在英国街头表演也是如此。分析句子可知，这里考查状语从句的省略，完整句子应为even when Lai is performing in the streets in the United Kingdom，在时间状语从句中，从句主语和主语一致，可以把从句的主语和后面be动词同时省略。故填performing。 【38题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：赖是众多渴望在爱丁堡国际艺术节上展示中国文化遗产的艺术家之一，该艺术节自1947年成立以来，每年8月举行。这里考查非限制性定语从句，先行词为the Edinburgh International Festival，为物，在从句中作主语，所以应用关系代词which。故填which。 【39题详解】 考查连词。句意：从商业角度来看，他们可能是对的，但用母语唱歌更像是我的本能，就像婴儿天生就有寻找食物的本能一样。分析句子可知，此空前后句为转折关系，所以这里应用并列连词but表转折。故填but。 【40题详解】 考查冠词。句意：当我阅读中文时，我能感受到这种联系——一种我在其他语言中没有体验到的情感。分析句子可知，这里表示“一种情感”，所以应用不定冠词表泛指，且emotion为元音音素开始的单词。故填an。 【41题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：这反映了语言的局限性，因为如果我们都说同一种语言，我们可能会更好地相互理解。limitation，表“限制”，为可数名词，由句意可知，这里应用复数形式作宾语。故填limitations。 【42题详解】 考查介词。句意：但我相信音乐超越界限的力量。分析句子可知，此空应填介词beyond，表“超越” ，符合句意。故填beyond。 【43题详解】 考查时态语态。句意：一些非中国人说他们被我的作品感动了，尽管他们不一定理解歌词。此空考查谓语动词，主语they与move为被动关系，且这里时态应与主句保持一致用一般过去时。故填were moved。 【44题详解】 考查固定搭配。句意：中国民歌可能不像功夫或中国书法等一些传统媒介那样在西方广泛流传。这里考查as...as，表“像……一样”，为固定搭配。故填as。 【45题详解】 考查形容词。句意：然而，赖的文化背景使她的歌曲富有诗意，这反映在她的歌词中。此空应填形容词作定语，修饰后面名词。故填cultural。 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，你所在的城市即将举办市民运动会 (Civic Sports Meeting) ，请给你的英国朋友William写一封邮件，邀请他来观看。内容包括： 1. 运动会介绍： 2. 你的邀请。 注意： 1 词数80左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear William, _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear William, I’m more than glad to tell you that there will be a Civic Sports Meeting in my city, and I’m writing to invite you to watch it.

It was a hot afternoon during the summer. I was playing alone in my front yard. Suddenly out of nowhere came a big yellow truck. I realized our new neighbors were moving in. I was excited. But then, I saw an unusual object being removed from the truck — a wheelchair. Soon I learned these neighbors had a daughter my age named Laura. Her parents explained that she had been born with an incurable condition that limited her mobility, controlled her muscles and destroyed her speech. My parents invited the new neighbours for dinner Friday night. When the doorbell rang, I answered, and timidly (羞怯地), I said “Hello! ” Then I heard it, from the bottom of her stomach: the strongest laugh I had ever heard. My mom told me that Victor Borge once said, “Laughter is the shortest distance between two people,” and this couldn’t have been more accurate. Instantly I knew this was the beginning of a very special friendship. I could not understand why the other kids in my school could not perceive Laura as I did. Instead they made fun of her, threatened her and even tipped her wheelchair. I, too, was teased because I was friends with her. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t make the other children stop. This past summer, I had the honor and privilege of being Laura’s able-bodied person in the Paralympics (残疾人运动会) in our city. Laura entered for the baseball match. My job consisted of helping her do anything she would have done if she were not disabled. I wrapped her hand around the ball before she threw it, and our hands swung that bat together. We were a team and our bodies worked together for the medal. 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。 At first, Laura had trouble holding the bat, but she didn’t give up. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Those kids who used to be unfriendly came to us after the award presentation. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】At first, Laura had trouble holding the bat, but she didn’t give up. With great determination, she tried again and again, which inspired me to work even harder alongside her. Every time she dropped it, she would look at me with a determined smile and ask for another try. After several practice, her grip grew stronger and her strikes became more accurate. In the final game, it was time for Laura to play ball. Calmly, she swung her bat hard and exactly hit the ball, which contributed to winning the medal. Thunderous applause broke out from the kids at the award presentation and all of them were deeply impressed by Laura’s enthusiasm and insistence. Those kids who used to be unfriendly came to us after the award presentation. Their faces were a mix of embarrassment and admiration. They offered apologies for what they had done to Laura, and I could see the sincerity in their eyes. Obviously, Laura’s courage and perseverance had touched them, showing them what true strength looked like. Laura, with her usual grace, accepted their apologies without a hint of bitterness. She even thanked them for their applause when she received the medal. It was a powerful moment, because it wasn’t just about winning a medal, but it was about winning hearts. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者与新邻居Laura之间的友谊、Laura面对困难时的勇气和毅力，以及Laura在残奥会棒球比赛中的表现，展现了一段感人至深的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“一开始，Laura很难握住球棒，但她没有放弃。”以及第二段首句内容“那些曾经不友好的孩子们在颁奖仪式后来找我们。”可知，第一段可描写Laura非常有毅力，坚持练习，在比赛中，Laura发挥出色，获得奖牌。 ②由第二段首句内容“那些曾经不友好的孩子们在颁奖仪式后来找我们。”可知，第二段可描写孩子们逐渐开始接纳了Laura。 2.续写线索：很难握住球棒，但并没有放弃——精神激励着作者更加努力——Laura表现出色，击中了球，球队也获得了奖牌——所有的孩子们都爆发出雷鸣般的掌声——那些不友好的孩子们在颁奖后找到了作者和Laura——他们为曾经的一切道歉——Laura的努力打动了他们 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①导致：contribute to/lead to ②道歉：offer apology/apologize ③打动：touch/move 情绪类 ①真诚：sincerity/genuineness ②怨恨：bitterness/resentment 【点睛】【高分句型1】With great determination, she tried again and again, which inspired me to work even harder alongside her.（运用了which引导的非限制性定语从句） 【高分句型2】Calmly, she swung his bat hard and exactly hit the ball, which contributed to winning the medal.（运用了which引导的非限制性定语从句） 听力1-5 AACBB 6-10 CBBCA 11-15 ACAAC 16-20 BBCAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024~2025学年 （上） 期中质量监测 高二英语 注 意 事 项 考生在答题前请认真阅读本注意事项及各题答题要求： 1. 本试卷包括 选择题 和 非选择题 两部分。考生答题全部答在答题纸上，答在本试卷上无效。本次考试时间为120分钟，满分150分。考试结束后，请将答题纸交监考老师。 2. 答题前，请务必将自己的姓名、学校、班级、座位号用书写黑色字迹的0.5毫米签字笔填写在答题纸的相应位置，智学号和考试证号无需填写，请把条形码粘贴到相应位置。 3. 答选择题必须用2B铅笔把答题纸上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，请用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案。答非选择题必须用书写黑色字迹的0.5毫米签字笔写在答题纸上的指定位置，在其它位置答题一律无效。 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

My mother leaves at dawn to collect cans, and when she returns 12 hours later, I help her pull the shopping cart to the recycling center through the streets of Bushwick. I have kept it a secret all the time. I couldn’t bear the idea of my friends knowing our family live off other people’s garbage. I felt guilty for being embarrassed, but I couldn’t help it. I was not ready to trust someone else. Then I took a college essay course, which required me to write an essay about what had the greatest impact on my personal growth. I chose to write about the impact my neighborhood had on me. At the end, there was just one sentence about can collecting. One day after class my teacher asked me to discuss my essay draft. “Your story has potential; however, it is not about personal growth. Would you tell me about the can collecting?” So I was faced with sharing my secret. But he was my teacher and I trusted him so I rewrote the essay. Two days later I found out we were expected to read our essays out loud after lunch, but I was ashamed for my peers to know. As I headed down to the cafeteria, I met up with a friend, Mason, who I always have lunch with. I was less talkative, and Mason found that I had something on my mind. I told him I was embarrassed about my family’s story. “You should be proud that your family is struggling to take care of their loved ones.” This was what I needed to hear and I felt like I could finally breathe after all those years of hiding a part of myself. When we got back to class, I felt ready to read my draft out loud. After my classmates listened to my story, they said things like: “Each of our stories is unique to our experience and shapes us.” “Your being ashamed only hurts you.” “Accept your home and community, because they are your true family.” Now, when people ask me what my parents do for a living, I tell them, not with embarrassment or shame but with pride, that my parents are can collectors. 4. Why did the author mention can collecting very briefly in his essay? A. To highlight his family story. B. To hide his long-lasting secret. C. To make his essay persuasive. D. To summarize his experience. 5. What advice did Mason give to the author? A. Try hard to survive the poverty. B. Show greater love for his family. C. Form the habit of talking more. D. Treasure his family struggles. 6. How did the classmates respond after listening to the author’s story? A. They gave some criticism. B. They showed great pity. C. They expressed thanks. D. They offered persuasion. 7. What caused the author to change his attitude towards his family secret? A. Mason’s encouraging words. B. Taking a college essay course C. Reading the essay aloud in class. D. His teacher’s guidance on the essay C Olympic athletes pour everything into training for the Games, routinely pushing their physical and mental boundaries to the limit — and beyond — for a shot at a gold medal. But getting into shape for what Comes after the closing ceremony can be equally important, especially if the end of the Games also means the end of professional competition. Kate Knifton, a first-time Olympian at the 2024 Summer Games in Paris, understands the mental stress that a sudden exit from the highest echelons of competitive life can bring. In 2022 she experienced a near career-ending spine injury. “Your body has a reaction from doing all this training and then suddenly doing nothing at all,” she says. The Olympics is an impressive cultural event — a focus of global public attention, financial investment and media coverage. New international celebrities are produced, and some competitors fall from grace due to various scandals (丑闻). Athletes endure the pressure of representing their country, and winning medals, in front of a worldwide audience. But then “all of that hype (炒作) around being an Olympian ends very quickly, "says Karen Cogan, a sport psychologist. Worrying decisions can follow: do I want to keep competing? Should I pursue a completely different direction or occupation? Such questions can even cause more anxiety if athletes have injuries and need surgery, Cogan says. Briana Scurry, a retired soccer goalkeeper and two-time Olympic gold medalist, knows how tough the transition(转型)can be. Her professional career suddenly froze after a brain injury in 2010. She encourages new Olympians to start thinking about retirement early in their career and ask themselves, “Who am I without my game?” She also recommends making a post-Olympics life plan. This can include signing up for workshops and professional development programs or even booking a vacation or a trip home. Staying in touch with teammates, as well as maintaining some routine physical activity, can offer structure and stability; suddenly stopping exercise can increase depressive symptoms. Still, getting some rest — for both the body and the mind — is equally important. 8. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. Athletes train hard merely for gold medals. B.

Disconnect from sports entirely. D Famous works of art are under threat in several ways. Lots of artworks have fallen victim to wars. Natural disasters have also destroyed much of our cultural heritage. Besides, pollution and climate change are putting many works of art at risk. Despite our best efforts, only a small number of famous works of art have managed to survive the test of time. And this is where technology comes in. A major issue with preserving works of art is their constant exposure to air pollutants. To solve the problem, art preservers have been employing the artificial nose. It was initially developed by Kenneth Suslick, a researcher at the University of Illinois, for biomedical purposes. Combined with the technology of electricity and light, the artificial nose has the ability to sniff out pollutants in the air before they can damage the artwork. Surveyors around the globe are creating 3D databases to preserve artworks and sites in digital form. In Syria, a French 3D digitization agency called Iconem has launched a project called Syrian Heritage to preserve local endangered structures and sites. The Iconem team use drones (无人机) to conduct photographic surveys of the area and then use photogrammetry to process and connect the stream of photographs to construct 3D versions. These versions offer a clear view of endangered sites and allow people to virtually visit and interact with select sections of each site. Non-invasive techniques like X-rays can collect valuable data about famous works of art. AI can then use this data to understand patterns, which can be used to restore or recreate images that have been lost forever. For instance, when Rembrandt van Rijn’s The Night Watch was moved to another location. it was unintentionally shortened. Now researchers have used AI to reconstruct the painting. Similarly, three of Gustay Klimt’s paintings that were lost in a 1945 fire in Vienna were recreated with the help of AI. As mentioned earlier, despite our best efforts, only a small number of artworks from the past make it to the future. But thanks to technological breakthroughs, we have a better shot at increasing that number. 12. What can the artificial nose do to protect artworks? A. Detect air pollutants for them. B. Stop them from exposure to air. C. Analyze their biomedical elements. D. Combine it with electricity and light. 13. What does Paragraph 3 focus on? A. Why photos are collected for the database. B. Why Iconem has launched Syrian Heritage. C. How artworks are preserved in digital form. D. How 3D technology is created for artworks. 14. Why is Rembrandt van Rijn’s The Night Watch mentioned? A. To show how it was shortened. B. To stress it shouldn’t be moved. C. To reveal the magic function of AI. D. To explain the importance of X-rays. 15. Which of the following would be a suitable title for the text? A. 3D Database Is Linked with Life B. Technology Is Saving Artworks C. AI Can Create Fantastic Artworks D. Only a Few Artworks Stand the Time 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项、并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 As a coach of young soccer players, you play a vital role in shaping their skills on the field. ___16___ But how can you fill these values in your young players?

It was a hot afternoon during the summer. I was playing alone in my front yard. Suddenly out of nowhere came a big yellow truck. I realized our new neighbors were moving in. I was excited. But then, I saw an unusual object being removed from the truck — a wheelchair. Soon I learned these neighbors had a daughter my age named Laura. Her parents explained that she had been born with an incurable condition that limited her mobility, controlled her muscles and destroyed her speech. My parents invited the new neighbours for dinner Friday night. When the doorbell rang, I answered, and timidly (羞怯地), I said “Hello! ” Then I heard it, from the bottom of her stomach: the strongest laugh I had ever heard. My mom told me that Victor Borge once said, “Laughter is the shortest distance between two people,” and this couldn’t have been more accurate. Instantly I knew this was the beginning of a very special friendship. I could not understand why the other kids in my school could not perceive Laura as I did. Instead they made fun of her threatened her and even tipped her wheelchair. I, too, was teased because I was friends with her. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t make the other children stop. This past summer, I had the honor and privilege of being Laura’s able-bodied person in the Paralympics (残疾人运动会) in our city. Laura entered for the baseball match. My job consisted of helping her do anything she would have done if she were not disabled. I wrapped her hand around the ball before she threw it, and our hands swung that bat together. We were a team and our bodies worked together for the medal. 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。 At first, Laura had trouble holding the bat, but she didn’t give up. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Those kids who used to be unfriendly came to us after the award presentation. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1-5 AACBB 6-10 CBBCA 11-15 ACAAC 16-20 BBCAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
