There’s so much more to see in one of the world’s greatest cities for arts and culture! In this article, discover the best museums to visit in Paris. Louis Vuitton Foundation The architecture of this building alone makes a visit worth it. The building was designed by famous architect Frenk Gehry. There are works of art by Jean-Michel Basquiat, Ellsworth Kelly, Olafur Eliasson, Gilbert & George, Jeff Koons, and many others. The admission ticket costs€16. Hours: Mon-Sat, 10:00 am — 6:00 pm (closed Sundays) Paris Museum of Modern Art The museum has a few huge works of art and a ton of other eye-catchers. It is technically free to visit, but they ask for a non-mandatory (非强制性的) donation of €5 to see the permanent artworks. Hours: Tues — Sun, 10:00 am — 6:00 pm (closed Mondays) Musée National Picasso-Paris The museum is home to thousands of Picasso works. Unlike the Rodin Museum, which contains works from many artists, the Picasso Museum keeps its collection closely tied to the master. The admission ticket costs€14. Hours: Tues — Fri,10:00 am — 6:30 pm; Sat and Sun, 9:30 am — 6:00 pm (closed Mondays) Musée Marmottan Monet Similar to the Picasso Museum, the Monet Museum is mostly about Monet. The museum is only what it is today thanks to Michel Monet’s famous donation of his father’s remaining works of art. Admissions will run you from€9 to€14. Hours: Tues — Sun,10:00 am — 6:00 pm, late nights on Thursdays until 9:00 pm (closed Mondays). 1. Who was the designer of Louis Vuitton Foundation? A. Frenk Gehry. B. Ellsworth Kelly. C. Olafur Eliasson. D. Jeff Koons. 2 How much do a couple have to pay to enter Musée National Picasso-Paris? A. €10. B. €18. C. €28. D. €32. 3. When can you enter Musée Marmottan Monet? A.

D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了几个巴黎最好的博物馆的信息。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Louis Vuitton Foundation部分“The architecture of this building alone makes a visit worth it. The building was designed by famous architect Frenk Gehry. (光是这座建筑的结构就值得一游。这座建筑是由著名建筑师弗兰克·盖里设计的。)”可知，Louis Vuitton Foundation的设计者是 Frenk Gehry。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Musée National Picasso-Paris部分“The admission ticket costs€14.(门票花费14欧元。)”可知，一对夫妻想要参观Musée National Picasso-Paris需支付28欧元。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Musée Marmottan Monet部分“Hours: Tues—Sun, 10:00 am—6:00 pm, late nights on Thursdays until 9 pm (closed Mondays). (营业时间：周二至周日，上午10:00至下午6:00，周四深夜至晚上9点(周一闭馆)。)”可知，在周日上午 10点你可以参观Musée Marmottan Monet。故选D。 B No matter how successful — or lately, unsuccessful — Manchester United has been on the court, which has always prided itself on an incredible ability to generate the game’s brightest young stars. The latest breakthrough talent, it seems, is 18-year-old midfielder Kobbie Mainoo. The teenager’s emergence from the youth academy (学院) has been one of the few satisfying points in an otherwise difficult season for the team, and the highlight of his fledgling (刚刚起步的) career came during United’s 4 — 3 win against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Thursday. After the host had seemingly got a draw in the 95th minute of the match, Mainoo showed his considerable potential by scoring a winner in the dying moment. The English youngster received the ball under pressure outside of the opposition’s box before rushing his way towards the goal, hitting against a Wolves defender on the way. Then, when other players might have panicked, Mainoo was composed and guided a perfect shot into the far corner of the net. While his teammates celebrated wildly, Mainoo knelt down and slid towards the crowd after scoring his first Premier League goal. It was a sensational moment and a goal which might change the teenager’s life forever. “I’ve still not come down from it. I still feel like I’m dreaming, to be honest,” Mainoo told TNT Sports after the match. “To start playing in the Premier League for my boyhood club has been amazing. Now I am just trying to play more games and win more games.” There have been moments this season, though, where his inexperience has shown, but the future looks bright for the young midfielder who seems to have his feet firmly on the ground. “He is making incredible progress. He has great abilities as a modern midfield player,” Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag told reporters after the game. “He can defend and attack but also he has the physicality to do both ways.” Manchester United is currently ranked seventh in the Premier League and they are working hard to secure the top four, which will ensure qualification for next season’s Champions League. 4. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about Kobbie Mainoo? A. His goals. B. His education. C. His teammates. D. His performance. 5. What does the underlined word “sensational” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Boring. B. Dramatic. C. Suitable. D. Possible. 6. Which word can best describe Kobbie Mainoo? A. Ambitious. B. Humorous. C. Experienced. D. Shy. 7. What is the aim of Manchester United now? A. To bring out more young stars. B. To qualify for the next Premier League. C. To play in the Champions League next season. D. To finish in the top seven of the Premier League. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了曼联最新的突破天才——18岁的中场科比·迈努。 【4题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“After the host had seemingly got a draw in the 95th minute of the match, Mainoo showed his considerable potential by scoring a winner in the dying moment. The English youngster received the ball under pressure outside of the opposition’s box before rushing his way towards the goal, hitting against a Wolves defender on the way. Then, when other players might have panicked, Mainoo was composed and guided a perfect shot into the far corner of the net. (在比赛进行到第95分钟的时候，东道主似乎取得了平局，迈努在最后时刻打进了一球，显示了他的巨大潜力。这名英格兰小将在对方禁区外的压力下接球，然后冲向球门，途中击中了狼队的一名后卫。然后，当其他球员可能会惊慌失措时，迈努镇定自若，将一记完美的射门射进了远角。)”可知，本段主要介绍了Kobbie Mainoo在赛场上的表现。故选D。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词前“While his teammates celebrated wildly, Mainoo knelt down and slid towards the crowd after scoring his first Premier League goal. (当他的队友们疯狂地庆祝时，迈努在打进他的第一个英超进球后，跪下向人群滑去。)”及画线词后“a goal which might change the teenager’s life forever. (这个目标可能会永远改变这个少年的生活。)”可推断，这是一个轰动性的时刻，画线词sensational意为“轰动性的”，和Dramatic最接近。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段““I’ve still not come down from it. I still feel like I’m dreaming, to be honest,” Mainoo told TNT Sports after the match. “To start playing in the Premier League for my boyhood club has been amazing. Now I am just trying to play more games and win more games.” (“我到现在还没有从那里下来。说实话，我仍然觉得我在做梦，”马努在赛后告诉TNT体育。“开始为我儿时的俱乐部在英超踢球真是太棒了。现在我只想打更多的比赛，赢得更多的比赛。”)”和第六段“He is making incredible progress. (他正在取得令人难以置信的进步。)” 可推断，Kobbie Mainoo是一个有抱负的人。故选A。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Manchester United is currently ranked seventh in the Premier League and they are working hard to secure the top four, which will ensure qualification for next season’s Champions League. (曼联目前在英超排名第七，他们正在努力确保前四，这将确保下赛季的欧冠资格。)”可知，曼联队现在的目标是参加下一个赛季的欧洲冠军联赛。故选C。 C Retired Army Col. Farrell Patrick taught computer science at West Point during the 1970s and then at two private universities through the 1990s, so he isn’t surprised by the progress technology has made over the decades. But when the 91-year-old got his first virtual reality (VR) experience recently, he was amazed. Sitting in a conference room at John Knox Village, Patrick sat up straight as his eyes and ears experienced what it would be like to be in a Navy fighter jet flying off the Florida coast. John Knox Village was one of 17 senior communities around the country that participated in a recently published Stanford University study. During the study, the seniors were picked from seven-minute virtual experiences such as riding in a tank, watching stage performances, playing with dogs and cats or visiting places like Paris or Egypt. The participants wore headsets that gave them 360-degree views and sounds, making it seem like they had been all but dropped into the actual experience. The study, working with the company Mynd Immersive, found that almost 80% of the seniors reported having a more positive attitude after their VR session and almost 60% said they felt less isolated socially. The enjoyment lessened somewhat for older respondents whose sight and hearing had deteriorated (恶化). Those who found VR less enjoyable were also more likely to dislike technology in general. The company has worked on the biggest complaints the seniors in the study had about VR—the headsets were too heavy and the heat they generated made the seniors’ foreheads sweat. The new headsets weigh about six ounces (189 grams) instead of a pound (454 grams). Besides, they have a built-in fan for cooling, and the videos aren’t as jumpy. Patrick says he hopes to live to 100 because he believes the next five years will see momentous changes in VR. Still a technology enthusiast, he believes the cost of systems will drop dramatically and become part of everyday living, even for seniors. 8. What is the function of the first paragraph? A. To lead in the topic. B. To reach a conclusion. C. To present an argument. D. To make a definition. 9. Why does the author mention “Paris or Egypt” in paragraph 3? A. To illustrate the two cities’ support for VR. B. To explain why seniors are crazy about traveling. C. To compare the differences between the two cities. D. To show the VR experiences the seniors can choose from. 10. What did the study find? A. Most seniors enjoyed VR. B. Old people preferred socializing. C. Seniors’ sight and hearing became worse. D. Most retired people disliked high-tech products. 11. What do the figures in paragraph 5 indicate about Mynd Immersive? A. Its products hardly appeal to seniors. B. Its goal is to produce high-quality videos. C. It has made improvements on the headsets. D. It has got a lot of complaints from teenagers. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了斯坦福大学发布的研究，研究主要介绍了老年人体验VR的活动，以及老年人对VR的评价。作为代表的Patrick认为VR的未来是可期的。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“But when the 91-year-old got his first virtual reality (VR) experience recently, he was amazed.(但是当这个91岁的老人第一次经历虚拟现实体验时，他感到十分惊讶。)”以及后文对这次体验的详细介绍可知，第一段介绍Patrick这个人的背景和体验感受是为了引入主题，故选A。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“During the study, the seniors picked from seven-minute virtual experiences such as riding in a tank, watching stage performances, playing with dogs and cats or visiting places like Paris or Egypt.(在这项研究中，老年人可从七分钟的虚拟体验中挑选活动，比如说乘坐坦克、观看舞台表演、与猫狗玩耍或参观巴黎或埃及等地。)”可知，本段提到巴黎和埃及是因为巴黎和埃及是七分钟的虚拟体验的活动之一，也就是老年人可以选择的体验，故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“The study, working with the company Mynd Immersive, found that almost 80% of the seniors reported having a more positive attitude after their VR session and almost 60% said they felt less isolated socially.(这项与Mynd Immersive公司合作的研究发现，80%的老年人报道说在虚拟现实课堂后表现出积极的态度，近60%的人表示他们在社交上感到不那么孤立。)”可知，80%和60%的老年人在参加虚拟课堂后表现积极，他们表示很喜欢虚拟现实，故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段“The new headsets weigh about six ounces (189 grams) instead of a pound (454 grams).(新的耳机大概重6盎司（189克），而不是1磅（454克）。)”可知，参加研究的老年人抱怨耳机太重了，因此新的耳机的重量大大减少，故此数据表明Mynd Immersive公司在耳机上做出的改进，故选C。 D For generations, Nafisa Bayniyazova and her family have made a living growing melons, pumpkins and tomatoes on farms around the Aral Sea. Bayniyazova, 50, has spent most of her life near Muynak, in northwestern Uzbekistan, tending the land. Farm life was sometimes difficult but generally reliable and productive. Now, Bayniyazova and other residents say they’re facing a disaster they can’t beat: climate change, which is speeding up the decades-long disappearance of the Aral, once the lifeblood for the thousands living around it. Decades ago, deep blue and filled with fish, the Aral was one of the world’s largest inland bodies of water. Thousands of migrants from across Asia and Europe moved to the Aral’s shores for jobs popping up everywhere from canning factories to luxury vacation resorts. Today, the few remaining towns sit quiet along the former seabed of the Aral—technically classified as a lake, due to its lack of a direct outlet to the ocean, though residents and officials call it a sea. Much of its early disappearance is due to human engineering and agricultural projects gone wrong, now paired with climate change. Summers are hotter and longer; winters, shorter and bitterly cold. Without the moderating influence of a large body of water to regulate the climate, dust storms began to blow through towns. Strong winds caused dunes (沙丘) to swallow entire towns, and abandoned buildings were filled with sand. A dozen fish species went extinct, and businesses closed down. “The fish factories closed, the ships were stuck in the harbor, and the workers all left,” said Madi Zhasekenov, former director of the Aral Sea Fisherman Museum in Aralsk, Kazakhstan. “It became only us locals.” On her Uzbekistan farm, Bayniyazova’s family has dug an earthen well, hoping to hold on to the precious little water that’s left. “If there is no water, it will be very difficult for people to live,” Bayniyazova said. “Now people are barely surviving.” She doesn’t plan to leave her farm but yet knows more hardships are likely ahead. 12. How is paragraph 3 developed? A. By reasoning. B. By making comparison. C. By experimenting. D. By analyzing data. 13. What can be inferred from paragraph 5? A. The number of fish in the Aral Sea is increasing. B. Madi Zhasekenov feels hopeful about his future. C. Local people around the Aral have lost their livelihoods. D. Madi Zhasekenov has adapted to the changing climate. 14. How does Bayniyazova feel now? A. Ashamed. B. Worried. C. Relieved. D. Embarrassed. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. The Importance of the Aral Sea B. How to Deal With the Aral Sea Disaster C. We Will Face the Challenge of Adapting to Climate Change D. Climate Change Is Quickening the Disappearance of the Aral Sea 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要讲的是气候变化正在加速咸海的消失。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Decades ago, deep blue and filled with fish, the Aral was one of the world’s largest inland bodies of water... Today, the few remaining towns sit quiet along the former seabed of the Aral... (几十年前，深蓝色的咸海是世界上最大的内陆水体之一，到处都是鱼。成千上万来自亚洲和欧洲的移民来到咸海沿岸，从罐头工厂到豪华度假胜地，到处都是工作机会。如今，仅存的几个城镇安静地坐落在咸海的前海床上)”可知，本段主要是通过作比较展开的。故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段“A dozen fish species went extinct, and businesses closed down. “The fish factories closed, the ships were stuck in the harbor, and the workers all left,” said Madi Zhasekenov, former director of the Aral Sea Fisherman Museum in Aralsk, Kazakhstan. “It became only us locals.” (十几种鱼类灭绝，企业倒闭。哈萨克斯坦阿拉尔斯克咸海渔民博物馆前馆长马迪·扎塞克诺夫(Madi Zhasekenov)说：“渔业工厂关闭了，船只被困在港口，工人们都离开了。”“它变成了只有我们当地人。”)”可推断，咸海周围的当地人失去了生计。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““If there is no water, it will be very difficult for people to live,” Bayniyazova said. “Now people are barely surviving.” She doesn’t plan to leave her farm but yet knows more hardships are likely ahead. (她说：“如果没有水，人们将很难生存。“现在人们几乎无法生存。”她不打算离开她的农场，但她知道前方可能会有更多的困难。)” 可推断，Bayniyazova感到很担心。故选B。 15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段“Now, Bayniyazova and other residents say they’re facing a disaster they can’t beat:climate change, which is speeding up the decades-long disappearance of the Aral, once the lifeblood for the thousands living around it. (现在，拜尼亚佐娃和其他居民说，他们正面临着一场无法战胜的灾难：气候变化，它正在加速咸海长达数十年的消失，而咸海曾经是周围数千人的命脉。)”可知，本文主要讲的是气候变化正在加速咸海的消失。故选D。 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。 When it comes to traveling with kids, whether it’s a short weekend getaway — a road trip or a luxurious camping adventure, the challenges increase. ____16____.

Major Heat (Dashu), the 12th solar term of the year, begins this year on July 22 and ends on August 6. During Major Heat, most parts of China enter the ___36___ (hot) season of the year. In China, the 24 solar terms ___37___ (create) thousands of years ago to guide agricultural production. But solar term culture ___38___ (be) still useful today to guide people’s lives through special foods, cultural ceremonies and even healthy living tips. During Major Heat, the sunshine, high temperatures ___39___ heavy rainfalls are good for agricultural crops. But like Minor Heat (Xiaoshu), many natural disasters such as floods, ___40___ (drought) and typhoons also happen during Major Heat. Therefore, it’s important to harvest and plant in time ___41___ (avoid) damage caused by natural disasters. Grass jelly, Xiancaodong in Chinese, is made with a special grass ___42___ stems (茎) and leaves can be made into herb jelly after being dried in ___43___ sun. With the ___44___ (amaze) ability to reduce the summer heat, grass jelly is described in a ____45____ (popularly) saying in Guangdong province that goes, “Eating herb jelly in Major Heat will make you stay young like the immortals (神仙).” 【答案】36. hottest 37. were created 38. is 39. and 40. droughts 41. to avoid 42. whose 43. the 44. amazing 45. popular 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国传统节气大暑的气候特点、文化意义以及与之相关的传统习俗和健康小贴士。 【36题详解】 考查形容词最高级。句意：在大暑期间，中国大部分地区进入一年中最热的季节。根据空格前的the可知，此处用the+形容词最高级，表示在某个范围内“最……的”意思，再根据提示词可知，这里指的是一年中最热的季节。故填hottest。 【37题详解】 考查动词时态与语态。句意：在中国，24节气是几千年前为指导农业生产而创造的。分析句子结构可知，the 24 solar terms与create之间存在被动关系，且根据时间状语thousands of years ago可知，此处需要使用一般过去时的被动语态。故填were created。 【38题详解】 考查动词的时态与主谓一致。句意：但节气文化今天仍然有用，通过特殊的食物，文化仪式，甚至健康的生活技巧来指导人们的生活。分析句子结构可知，solar term culture是本句的主语，故谓语动词用be动词的单数形式，且根据today可知，此处需要使用一般现在时。故填is。 【39题详解】 考查连词。句意：大暑时节阳光充足、高温和大量降雨有益于农作物的生长。根据句意可知，空格前后是并列关系，所以此处用and连接两个并列的事物。故填and。 【40题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：但就像小暑一样，许多自然灾害，如洪水、干旱和台风也会在大暑期间发生。根据前面的many natural disasters such as floods可知，此处需要填入复数形式，又因为drought是可数名词，所以用名词复数形式。故填droughts。 【41题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：因此，为了避免自然灾害造成的破坏，及时收获和种植非常重要。分析句子结构可知，此处不定式作目的状语，表示及时收获和种植的目的是“避免”自然灾害造成的损失。故填to avoid。 【42题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：草粿，中文里也叫仙草冻，是由一种特殊的草制成的，这种草的茎和叶在晒干后可以做成草本果冻。分析句式结构可知，此处是定语从句，修饰a special grass，由于定语从句中缺少定语，所以用关系代词whose来引导。故填whose。 【43题详解】 考查定冠词。句意：同上。由于sun是世界上独一无二的事物，所以用定冠词the。故填the。 【44题详解】 考查形容词。句意：由于草粿具有惊人的消暑能力，在广东省有一句流行的说法：“大暑吃仙草，活如神仙不会老。”分析句子成分可知，这里需要一个形容词来修饰名词ability，因为ability指物，所以用形容词amazing表示草本果冻的这种能力是“令人惊叹的”。故填amazing。 【45题详解】 考查词形转换。句意：同上。分析句式结构可知，此处需要一个形容词来修饰后面的名词saying，所以此处用提示词的形容词形式popular表示一个“流行的”谚语。故填popular。 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，你的英国好友Charles发来邮件询问你暑期参加科学营的情况。请你给他回复一封邮件，内容包括： 1. 主要活动； 2. 你的收获。 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 Charles, ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】 Dear Charles, I wanted to share some exciting news with you.

Six months before, her child Emily was diagnosed (诊断) with lung disease. Now, her daughter’s condition got worse and she had to have surgery. Harper did two cleaning jobs and sold some furniture (家具). But the money was far from enough for Emily’s surgery. Finally, she decided to sell all the remaining furniture and even her husband’s possessions in a second-hand market. And she planned on selling her house though she didn’t know where to live after that. In the market, Harper ran into Barbara, an old lady, who was picking out second-hand clothes. What attracted Harper was that the woman was picking only the best clothes and talked with the seller to cut the cost by a few dollars. “I want all these clothes. I still ask you to reduce the price by at least $10. It has been pretty long since the women and the children in my shelter wore something nice,” said Barbara. Harper was surprised. “Women and children in her shelter?” The seller nearby explained it to her. It turned out that Barbara ran a shelter for single mothers and their kids. She fed them, sheltered them, and at times, shopped for affordable second-hand clothes for them. Harper was moved by Barbara’s kindness and offered to give her husband’s clothes and boots for free. “Are you sure you want to give them for free, my dear?” Barbara asked. “And why are your eyes so red? Is there something I can help you with?” Harper was too shy to ask for help and didn’t want to cause trouble for Barbara. Therefore, she shook her head. Barbara looked at her a little confused and said nothing more. Harper thought they would never meet again, but the next day, a loud sound of car horns (喇叭) outside her house surprised her. Barbara got out of the car. “Ms Barbara! What are you doing here?” Harper asked, her eyes wide with surprise. 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。 Barbara smiled warmly, her eyes shining with kindness. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Moved to tears, Harper could barely speak. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Barbara smiled warmly, her eyes shining with kindness. “I’ve come to help, Harper,” she replied. “I heard about your situation from a friend at the second-hand market. You see, when you give selflessly, the universe has a way of giving back.” Barbara explained that she had arranged for Harper to stay in her shelter as long as she needed after selling her house. “You’ll have a place to live, and we’ll help you with Emily’s treatment together,” she said, her voice filled with compassion. Moved to tears, Harper could barely speak. “I don’t know how to thank you,” she managed to say, her voice choked with emotion. “Don’t thank me,” Barbara said, taking Harper’s hands in hers. “We’re all in this together. Let’s get through this one day at a time.” Over the next few weeks, Harper and Emily moved into the shelter. The community there provided emotional and financial support, helping Harper to go through the challenges she faced. The experience taught Harper the power of community and the importance of paying kindness forward. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了一个贫穷的单亲妈妈Harper为给患有肺病的女儿筹集手术费用而努力，但在市场上偶遇善良老人Barbara后，得到了意想不到的帮助的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“Barbara温暖地笑着，眼中闪烁着善良的光芒。”可知，第一段可描写Barbara说明要帮助Harper并解释原因。 ②由第二段首句内容“Harper感动得热泪盈眶，几乎说不出话来。”可知，第二段可描写Harper表示了感谢，社区也提供了帮助，以及经过这件事的感悟。 2.续写线索：提出帮忙——解释原因——感动——社区提供帮助——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 帮助：help/assist 解释：explain/account for 充满：be filled with/be full of 成功做某事：manage to do sth/be succeeded in doing sth 情绪类 感谢：thank/appreciate 同情：compassion/sympathy 【点睛】[高分句型1] Barbara explained that she had arranged for Harper to stay in her shelter as long as she needed after selling her house.（运用了that引导宾语从句，as long as引导条件状语从句） [高分句型2] The community there provided emotional and financial support, helping Harper to go through the challenges she faced.（运用了现在分词作状语，省略了关系代词的定语从句） 1~5 ABACC 6~10 ACACB 11~15 CBBAA 16~20 CACBB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 开封五校 2024~2025学年上学期期中联考 高二英语 考生注意： 1.本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2.答题前，考生务必用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔将密封线内项目填写清楚。 3.考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑;非选择题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 4.本卷命题范围：至人教版选择性必修第三册 Unit1。 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.

There’s so much more to see in one of the world’s greatest cities for arts and culture! In this article, discover the best museums to visit in Paris.

B No matter how successful — or lately, unsuccessful — Manchester United has been on the court, which has always prided itself on an incredible ability to generate the game’s brightest young stars. The latest breakthrough talent, it seems, is 18-year-old midfielder Kobbie Mainoo. The teenager’s emergence from the youth academy (学院) has been one of the few satisfying points in an otherwise difficult season for the team, and the highlight of his fledgling (刚刚起步的) career came during United’s 4 — 3 win against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Thursday. After the host had seemingly got a draw in the 95th minute of the match, Mainoo showed his considerable potential by scoring a winner in the dying moment. The English youngster received the ball under pressure outside of the opposition’s box before rushing his way towards the goal, hitting against a Wolves defender on the way. Then, when other players might have panicked, Mainoo was composed and guided a perfect shot into the far corner of the net. While his teammates celebrated wildly, Mainoo knelt down and slid towards the crowd after scoring his first Premier League goal. It was a sensational moment and a goal which might change the teenager’s life forever. “I’ve still not come down from it. I still feel like I’m dreaming, to be honest,” Mainoo told TNT Sports after the match. “To start playing in the Premier League for my boyhood club has been amazing. Now I am just trying to play more games and win more games.” There have been moments this season, though, where his inexperience has shown, but the future looks bright for the young midfielder who seems to have his feet firmly on the ground. “He is making incredible progress. He has great abilities as a modern midfield player,” Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag told reporters after the game. “He can defend and attack but also he has the physicality to do both ways.” Manchester United is currently ranked seventh in the Premier League and they are working hard to secure the top four, which will ensure qualification for next season’s Champions League. 4. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about Kobbie Mainoo? A. His goals. B. His education. C. His teammates. D. His performance. 5. What does the underlined word “sensational” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Boring. B. Dramatic. C. Suitable. D. Possible. 6. Which word can best describe Kobbie Mainoo? A. Ambitious. B. Humorous. C. Experienced. D. Shy. 7. What is the aim of Manchester United now? A. To bring out more young stars. B. To qualify for the next Premier League. C To play in the Champions League next season. D. To finish in the top seven of the Premier League. C Retired Army Col. Farrell Patrick taught computer science at West Point during the 1970s and then at two private universities through the 1990s, so he isn’t surprised by the progress technology has made over the decades. But when the 91-year-old got his first virtual reality (VR) experience recently, he was amazed. Sitting in a conference room at John Knox Village, Patrick sat up straight as his eyes and ears experienced what it would be like to be in a Navy fighter jet flying off the Florida coast. John Knox Village was one of 17 senior communities around the country that participated in a recently published Stanford University study. During the study, the seniors were picked from seven-minute virtual experiences such as riding in a tank, watching stage performances, playing with dogs and cats or visiting places like Paris or Egypt. The participants wore headsets that gave them 360-degree views and sounds, making it seem like they had been all but dropped into the actual experience. The study, working with the company Mynd Immersive, found that almost 80% of the seniors reported having a more positive attitude after their VR session and almost 60% said they felt less isolated socially. The enjoyment lessened somewhat for older respondents whose sight and hearing had deteriorated (恶化). Those who found VR less enjoyable were also more likely to dislike technology in general. The company has worked on the biggest complaints the seniors in the study had about VR—the headsets were too heavy and the heat they generated made the seniors’ foreheads sweat. The new headsets weigh about six ounces (189 grams) instead of a pound (454 grams). Besides, they have a built-in fan for cooling, and the videos aren’t as jumpy. Patrick says he hopes to live to 100 because he believes the next five years will see momentous changes in VR. Still a technology enthusiast, he believes the cost of systems will drop dramatically and become part of everyday living, even for seniors. 8. What is the function of the first paragraph? A. To lead in the topic. B. To reach a conclusion. C. To present an argument. D. To make a definition. 9. Why does the author mention “Paris or Egypt” in paragraph 3? A.

D For generations, Nafisa Bayniyazova and her family have made a living growing melons, pumpkins and tomatoes on farms around the Aral Sea. Bayniyazova, 50, has spent most of her life near Muynak, in northwestern Uzbekistan, tending the land. Farm life was sometimes difficult but generally reliable and productive. Now Bayniyazova and other residents say they’re facing a disaster they can’t beat: climate change, which is speeding up the decades-long disappearance of the Aral, once the lifeblood for the thousands living around it. Decades ago, deep blue and filled with fish, the Aral was one of the world’s largest inland bodies of water. Thousands of migrants from across Asia and Europe moved to the Aral’s shores for jobs popping up everywhere from canning factories to luxury vacation resorts. Today, the few remaining towns sit quiet along the former seabed of the Aral—technically classified as a lake, due to its lack of a direct outlet to the ocean, though residents and officials call it a sea. Much of its early disappearance is due to human engineering and agricultural projects gone wrong, now paired with climate change. Summers are hotter and longer; winters, shorter and bitterly cold. Without the moderating influence of a large body of water to regulate the climate, dust storms began to blow through towns. Strong winds caused dunes (沙丘) to swallow entire towns, and abandoned buildings were filled with sand. A dozen fish species went extinct, and businesses closed down. “The fish factories closed, the ships were stuck in the harbor, and the workers all left,” said Madi Zhasekenov, former director of the Aral Sea Fisherman Museum in Aralsk, Kazakhstan. “It became only us locals.” On her Uzbekistan farm, Bayniyazova’s family has dug an earthen well, hoping to hold on to the precious little water that’s left. “If there is no water, it will be very difficult for people to live,” Bayniyazova said. “Now people are barely surviving.” She doesn’t plan to leave her farm but yet knows more hardships are likely ahead. 12. How is paragraph 3 developed? A. By reasoning. B. By making comparison. C. By experimenting. D. By analyzing data. 13. What can be inferred from paragraph 5? A. The number of fish in the Aral Sea is increasing. B. Madi Zhasekenov feels hopeful about his future. C. Local people around the Aral have lost their livelihoods. D. Madi Zhasekenov has adapted to the changing climate. 14. How does Bayniyazova feel now? A. Ashamed. B. Worried. C. Relieved. D. Embarrassed. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. The Importance of the Aral Sea B. How to Deal With the Aral Sea Disaster C. We Will Face the Challenge of Adapting to Climate Change D. Climate Change Is Quickening the Disappearance of the Aral Sea 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。 When it comes to traveling with kids, whether it’s a short weekend getaway — a road trip or a luxurious camping adventure, the challenges increase. ____16____.

Six months before, her child Emily was diagnosed (诊断) with lung disease. Now, her daughter’s condition got worse and she had to have surgery. Harper did two cleaning jobs and sold some furniture (家具). But the money was far from enough for Emily’s surgery. Finally, she decided to sell all the remaining furniture and even her husband’s possessions in a second-hand market. And she planned on selling her house though she didn’t know where to live after that. In the market, Harper ran into Barbara, an old lady, who was picking out second-hand clothes. What attracted Harper was that the woman was picking only the best clothes and talked with the seller to cut the cost by a few dollars. “I want all these clothes. I still ask you to reduce the price by at least $10. It has been pretty long since the women and the children in my shelter wore something nice,” said Barbara. Harper was surprised. “Women and children in her shelter?” The seller nearby explained it to her. It turned out that Barbara ran a shelter for single mothers and their kids. She fed them, sheltered them, and at times, shopped for affordable second-hand clothes for them. Harper was moved by Barbara’s kindness and offered to give her husband’s clothes and boots for free. “Are you sure you want to give them for free, my dear?” Barbara asked. “And why are your eyes so red? Is there something I can help you with?” Harper was too shy to ask for help and didn’t want to cause trouble for Barbara. Therefore, she shook her head. Barbara looked at her a little confused and said nothing more. Harper thought they would never meet again, but the next day, a loud sound of car horns (喇叭) outside her house surprised her. Barbara got out of the car. “Ms Barbara! What are you doing here?” Harper asked, her eyes wide with surprise. 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。 Barbara smiled warmly, her eyes shining with kindness. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Moved to tears, Harper could barely speak. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1~5 ABACC 6~10 ACACB 11~15 CBBAA 16~20 CACBB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
