In one simple design concept, it is a wearable reminder to people of all backgrounds that “Within Good, There Is God”—a pure message that no matter what you are going through, you can always do good, and the spirit of love, known as God, is always within us and in the world. Within Good is not intended to be a religious bracelet. In fact, one of the reasons why the “God” reference appears on the inside of the bracelet is because it is personal to the wearer. The company co-founders say their concept was to go back to the basics of doing good for yourself and others: “At the end of the day, God symbolizes peace, love, connectedness, purpose, and any other word that makes you feel GOOD.” Over many months, the logo (标识) turned into a symbol represented by the double “o” in Good and interlocking with the G and D. “Within Good” is printed on the top of the bracelet and on the back is printed, “There Is God”. The rope symbolizes strength, and a strong connection between Good and God (always inside us). Why This Is a Good Gift: Looks Great: Casual yet classy styling, in a unisex (中性化的) design. Gift Packaging: Each bracelet arrives inside its own little drawstring bag, ready to give away without wrapping (包装).

What can we learn about the bracelet? A. It’s only suitable for men. B. It’s a religious bracelet. C. It’s ready to be given away without wrapping. D. It’s printed with the words “Within Good” on its back. 3. Where can you find the text? A. On a website. B. On a noticeboard. C In a textbook. D. In a newspaper. B At around 8 am on Oct.19, hundreds of residents queued up in long lines at the entrances of the Potala Palace, carrying buckets (楠) and other paint ingredients. They were involved in the annual routine “makeover project of the palace. As a landmark of Lhasa, the capital of the Tibet autonomous region, the Potala Palace was built in the 7th century. Being exposed to the weather, its exterior (外部的) walls lose their colors over time. So every year, after the rainy season, around the ninth month of the Tibetan calendar, the palace carries out its annual facelift (翻新) painting project. The work was originally scheduled to be completed within a month in the past. However, with advancements in technology, the project’s completion time has now been shortened to just one week, according to the palace’s management office. And this tradition has continued for more than 300 years. Before the painting work begins, painters craft a paint mixing materials such as locally collected lime (石灰), milk, sugar and honey. This is why locals also call the Potala Palace the “sweet palace”. According to China News Service, adding these ingredients can make the mixture more adhesive (有黏性的), giving it insect repellent (驱虫的) and anti-corrosion (防腐蚀的) effects while introducing a variety of colors. Instead of brushing these mixtures onto the wall, locals often spray (喷洒) them. As China News Service noted, this method causes the paint to accumulate year after year, forming a thick coating that effectively protects the wall. Many locals consider it to be an honor to take part in the painting. “We came to queue yesterday. We queued for a long time but we failed to enter the palace,” a young woman told China Daily. “Today, we came to line up in the early morning. We were so lucky to get the chance to paint the palace. We are delighted from the bottom of our hearts.” “I have been taking part in the annual paintings of the palace for more than 20 years,” said Dawa, 57, another happy painter, “I consider the palace to be a very valuable part of our heritage, and I feel obligated (有义务的) and proud to be part of the painting team. 4. What do we know about the Potala Palace “makeover” project? A. It used to last for over a month. B. It has been ongoing for centuries. C. It involves restoration inside and out. D. It starts in the rainy season every year. 5. The Potala Palace is called the “sweet palace” due to ______. A. its varieties of colors. B. its sweet-looking appearance C. local people’s love for the palace D. the ingredients applied in its paint 6. Why do locals spray the paint over the wall? A. It proves effortless and efficient. B. It effectively protects themselves. C. It helps build up the protective layers. D. It makes for an even coating on the wall. 7. How do local people feel when participating in the project, according to the text? A. Fulfilled and honored. B. Proud but challenged. C. Nervous but delighted. D. Disappointed and regretful? C The study, published in the Journal of Child Psychology & Psychiatry, compared survey results of parents with their children in England and Wales from the ages of 16 months to 13 years. The research team found that average levels of food fussiness (挑食) were relatively stable during this period, peaking somewhat around the age of 7 and declining slightly after that. They concluded that genetic differences in the population accounted for 60% of the variation in food fussiness at 16 months, rising to 74% and over between the ages of 3 and 13. Lead author Dr Zeynep Nas said, “Food fussiness is common among children and can be a major source of anxiety for parents and caregivers, who often blame themselves for this behaviour or are blamed by others. “We hope our finding that fussy eating is largely inborn may help to ease parental blame. This behaviour is not a result of parenting.” Senior author Dr Clare Llewellyn said, “While genetic factors are the major influence for food fussiness, environment also plays a supporting role. Environmental factors, such as sitting down together as a family to eat meals, may only be significant in toddlerhood (蹒跚学步期); while environmental factors, such as individual personal experiences (e.g., having different fiends) become more influential in later years.” This suggests that interventions (干预) to help children eat a wider range of foods, such as repeatedly exposing children to the same foods regularly and offering a variety of fruits and vegetables, may be most effective in the very early years. Unique environmental factors accounted for about a quarter of individual differences between children in fussy eating by ages 7 and 13, the researchers estimated. Among the study limitations, the researchers noted that there were fewer participants at age 7 compared to other time points and that the study sample (样本) had a large percentage of white British households of higher social-economic backgrounds compared to the general population of England and Wales, In future, the team said, research should focus on non-western populations where food culture, parental feeding practices and food security may be quite different. 8. According to paragraph 1, what does the study tell us? A. Teenagers over 13 years old have a balanced diet. B. Children become more particular about food with age. C. Children at 7 have the highest level of food fussiness. D. Variation in food fussiness causes genetic differences. 9. In Dr Zeynep Nas’s opinion, ______. A. children are born to have certain food preferences B. children should be ashamed of their picky eating C. parental anxiety leads to children’s food fussiness D. parents should adopt more effective feeding practices 10. When children reach 12, which of the following influences their food fussiness most? A. Being exposed to various foods. B. The environment of family dinners. C. Having meals together with fellows. D. The closeness of interpersonal relations. 11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. More global samples should be collected. B. Cultural factors have been taken into account. C. Food fussiness is unique to western countries. D. The study lacks hard evidence for food fussiness. D Roughly 42% of Americans are nearsighted today, compared to 25% in 1971. The WHO predicts that about half of the world’s population will have myopia, or nearsightedness, by 2050. It’s clear that our vision is becoming increasingly unclear. On seeing this, while our first reaction is to blame the increased use of screens, experts believe the real reason is not that, exactly, but it’s related: namely less time spent outdoors. Exposure to natural light stimulates dopamine (多巴胺), helping regulate normal growth and development of the eyeball. Indoor lighting doesn’t do the trick. Ideally, kids should get at least two hours of natural light a day. Still, our increased use of screens is a problem. Most screens are high contrast — like black text on a white page, or light text on a dark background. It’s still a theory, but some scientists think that the contrast of reading a book or looking at a bright screen in a dark room might be over-stimulating our retinas (视网膜), causing more eye growth problems in children. A 2018 study in Scientific Records analyzed the retinal pathways when looking at black text on white backgrounds compared to natural environments, and concluded the contrast could stimulate myopia. Close work, like reading and looking closely at screens, has also been shown to cause myopia. Researchers are working on ways to slow down rising myopia rates. A recent clinical trial found eye-drops with a low dose of atropine can slow myopia in kids. There’s also some early evidence that peripheral defocus lenses (周边离焦透镜) might help stop nearsightedness from worsening. It’s strongly recommended that regular eye examinations should be a must, for people with myopia are at a higher risk of developing eye issues as they age, such as glaucoma, early cataracts and macular degeneration. You can also reduce eye pressure by making a few simple lifestyle changes, such as ensuring that you are reading or working in good light, and taking frequent breaks, etc. 12. What’s the real reason why so many people are nearsighted? A. Dramatically increased use of screens. B. Not enough exposure to natural light. C. Not having enough breaks when working. D. Looking at screens at a short distance. 13. Why does the author mention the 2018 study in Scientific Records? A. To call on readers to remove their incorrect eye habits. B. To prove to readers the seriousness of nearsightedness. C. To support the link between high contrast and myopia. D. To show he is well-informed of the advances in this field. 14. What can you do to improve the situation of your myopia? A. Work on your homework for hours on end. B. Apply eye-drops with a high dose of atropine. C. Wear specially-designed peripheral defocus lenses. D. Have an eye operation recommended at an early age. 15. What’s the main structure of this passage? A. Questions — answers. B. Problem — reasons — solutions. C. Problem — changes — effects. D. Viewpoint — arguments — conclusion. 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。 Every time you’re online, you are bombarded (轰炸) by pictures, articles, links and videos trying to tell their story ________16________ Sometimes they want you to click on another story or ads at their own site, other times they want to upset people for political reasons.

But Jack was burning the midnight oil, busy with his revision work, determined to improve his grades. A wave of tiredness crept over him; he stretched his arms and drank another cup of coffee. He felt refreshed and continued to work hard. He knew he couldn't let his recent failures define him. That morning, as the test papers were handed back, Jack was shocked to find that he got the only D in his class. Though he didn’t do well in his lessons, the unexpected grade hit him hard. Most of his classmates got their desired grades, their laughter and chatter feeling like a painful reminder of his failure. He couldn't help but recall that he always passed exams with C, and in his parents' eyes, he was a total failure. This painful reality weighed heavily on him. Staring at the glaring D grade on his paper, Jack felt he should do something. He couldn’t continue down this path. He needed to change. From that day, he was more focused and eager to learn in class. He raised his hand more often, contributing more, and his assignments showed his hard work and dedication. His teacher, Ms. Green, impressed by his efforts, praised him in front of the class. His classmates started to see him differently too, giving him friendly smiles and support, which boosted his confidence. Everyone noticed a big change in Jack, except his busy parents. After a month of hard work, the day of the next exam finally arrived. Jack walked into the examination hall with confidence, feeling well prepared and ready to face the challenges ahead. As he worked through the test, everything seemed to flow smoothly. When the bell rang, he felt he could make it this time. Two days later, the results were announced. Jack was excited to see his amazing grade — B+. “Well done, Jack! We are all so proud of you!” Ms. Green said. After school, Jack rushed out, eager to show his parents his B+ grade. 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。 “Mom and Dad, I have good news to share!” _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Jack phoned Ms. Green, hoping she could remove his parents’ doubts. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高二年级上学期期中考试 英语试卷 2024.11 注意事项: 1.本试卷满分 150分。考试时间 120分钟。 2.答题前，务必将自己的学校、姓名、考试号等相关信息写在答题卡上规定的地方。 3.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 第一部分 听力（共两节, 满分 30 分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节 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.

They were involved in the annual routine “makeover project of the palace. As a landmark of Lhasa, the capital of the Tibet autonomous region, the Potala Palace was built in the 7th century. Being exposed to the weather, its exterior (外部的) walls lose their colors over time. So every year, after the rainy season, around the ninth month of the Tibetan calendar, the palace carries out its annual facelift (翻新) painting project. The work was originally scheduled to be completed within a month in the past. However, with advancements in technology, the project’s completion time has now been shortened to just one week, according to the palace’s management office. And this tradition has continued for more than 300 years. Before the painting work begins, painters craft a paint mixing materials such as locally collected lime (石灰), milk, sugar and honey. This is why locals also call the Potala Palace the “sweet palace”. According to China News Service, adding these ingredients can make the mixture more adhesive (有黏性的), giving it insect repellent (驱虫的) and anti-corrosion (防腐蚀的) effects while introducing a variety of colors. Instead of brushing these mixtures onto the wall, locals often spray (喷洒) them. As China News Service noted, this method causes the paint to accumulate year after year, forming a thick coating that effectively protects the wall. Many locals consider it to be an honor to take part in the painting. “We came to queue yesterday. We queued for a long time but we failed to enter the palace,” a young woman told China Daily. “Today, we came to line up in the early morning. We were so lucky to get the chance to paint the palace. We are delighted from the bottom of our hearts.” “I have been taking part in the annual paintings of the palace for more than 20 years,” said Dawa, 57, another happy painter, “I consider the palace to be a very valuable part of our heritage, and I feel obligated (有义务的) and proud to be part of the painting team. 4. What do we know about the Potala Palace “makeover” project? A. It used to last for over a month. B. It has been ongoing for centuries. C. It involves restoration inside and out. D. It starts in the rainy season every year. 5. The Potala Palace is called the “sweet palace” due to ______. A. its varieties of colors. B. its sweet-looking appearance C. local people’s love for the palace D. the ingredients applied in its paint 6. Why do locals spray the paint over the wall? A. It proves effortless and efficient. B. It effectively protects themselves. C. It helps build up the protective layers. D. It makes for an even coating on the wall. 7. How do local people feel when participating in the project, according to the text? A. Fulfilled and honored. B. Proud but challenged. C Nervous but delighted. D. Disappointed and regretful? 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了拉萨地标性建筑布达拉宫的年度“翻新”工程，包括其历史、过程、所用材料及当地居民的参与热情。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“So every year, after the rainy season, around the ninth month of the Tibetan calendar, the palace carries out its annual facelift (翻新) painting project.(所以每年，在雨季过后，大约在藏历的第九个月，布达拉宫都会进行其年度的翻新绘画工程)”和“And this tradition has continued for more than 300 years.(这个传统已经延续了300多年)”可知，布达拉宫的“翻新”工程已经持续了几个世纪。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Before the painting work begins, painters craft a paint mixing materials such as locally collected lime (石灰), milk, sugar and honey. This is why locals also call the Potala Palace the “sweet palace”.(在绘画工作开始之前，画家们会制作一种由当地收集的石灰、牛奶、糖和蜂蜜等混合而成的涂料。这就是为什么当地人也称布达拉宫为“甜宫”)”可知，布达拉宫被称为“甜宫”是因为其涂料中加入了糖和蜂蜜等成分。故选D项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Instead of brushing these mixtures onto the wall, locals often spray (喷洒) them. As China News Service noted, this method causes the paint to accumulate year after year, forming a thick coating that effectively protects the wall.(当地人通常不是把这些混合涂料刷在墙上，而是喷在墙上。正如中新社所指出的，这种方法使得油漆逐年积累，形成一层厚厚的涂层，有效地保护了墙壁)”可知，当地人将涂料喷洒在墙上是为了让涂料逐年积累，形成保护层，有效保护墙壁。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Many locals consider it to be an honor to take part in the painting.(许多当地人认为参与绘画是一种荣誉)”和第五段中“I consider the palace to be a very valuable part of our heritage, and I feel obligated (有义务的) and proud to be part of the painting team.(我认为宫殿是我们遗产中非常宝贵的一部分，能成为绘画团队的一员，我感到有义务和自豪)”可推知，当地人参与布达拉宫的翻新工程时感到有成就感和荣幸。故选A项。 C The study, published in the Journal of Child Psychology & Psychiatry, compared survey results of parents with their children in England and Wales from the ages of 16 months to 13 years. The research team found that average levels of food fussiness (挑食) were relatively stable during this period, peaking somewhat around the age of 7 and declining slightly after that. They concluded that genetic differences in the population accounted for 60% of the variation in food fussiness at 16 months, rising to 74% and over between the ages of 3 and 13. Lead author Dr Zeynep Nas said, “Food fussiness is common among children and can be a major source of anxiety for parents and caregivers, who often blame themselves for this behaviour or are blamed by others. “We hope our finding that fussy eating is largely inborn may help to ease parental blame. This behaviour is not a result of parenting.” Senior author Dr Clare Llewellyn said, “While genetic factors are the major influence for food fussiness, environment also plays a supporting role. Environmental factors, such as sitting down together as a family to eat meals, may only be significant in toddlerhood (蹒跚学步期); while environmental factors, such as individual personal experiences (e.g., having different fiends) become more influential in later years.” This suggests that interventions (干预) to help children eat a wider range of foods, such as repeatedly exposing children to the same foods regularly and offering a variety of fruits and vegetables, may be most effective in the very early years. Unique environmental factors accounted for about a quarter of individual differences between children in fussy eating by ages 7 and 13, the researchers estimated. Among the study limitations, the researchers noted that there were fewer participants at age 7 compared to other time points and that the study sample (样本) had a large percentage of white British households of higher social-economic backgrounds compared to the general population of England and Wales, In future, the team said, research should focus on non-western populations where food culture, parental feeding practices and food security may be quite different. 8. According to paragraph 1, what does the study tell us? A. Teenagers over 13 years old have a balanced diet. B. Children become more particular about food with age. C. Children at 7 have the highest level of food fussiness. D. Variation in food fussiness causes genetic differences. 9. In Dr Zeynep Nas’s opinion, ______. A. children are born to have certain food preferences B. children should be ashamed of their picky eating C. parental anxiety leads to children’s food fussiness D. parents should adopt more effective feeding practices 10. When children reach 12, which of the following influences their food fussiness most? A. Being exposed to various foods. B. The environment of family dinners. C. Having meals together with fellows. D. The closeness of interpersonal relations. 11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. More global samples should be collected. B. Cultural factors have been taken into account. C. Food fussiness is unique to western countries. D. The study lacks hard evidence for food fussiness. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项关于孩子挑食的研究，介绍了研究的发现以及局限性等情况。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The research team found that average levels of food fussiness (挑食) were relatively stable during this period, peaking somewhat around the age of 7 and declining slightly after that.(研究小组发现，在这段时间里，食物挑剔的平均水平相对稳定，在7岁左右达到顶峰，之后略有下降)”可知，根据第一段，这项研究告诉了我们7岁的孩子对食物的挑剔程度最高。故选C项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“We hope our finding that fussy eating is largely inborn may help to ease parental blame. This behaviour is not a result of parenting.(我们希望，挑食在很大程度上是天生的这一发现，可以帮助减轻父母的指责。这种行为不是父母教育的结果)”可推知，在Zeynep Nas博士看来，孩子天生就有一定的食物偏好。故选A项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Environmental factors, such as sitting down together as a family to eat meals, may only be significant in toddlerhood (蹒跚学步期); while environmental factors, such as individual personal experiences (e.g., having different fiends) become more influential in later years.(环境因素，比如一家人坐在一起吃饭，可能只在幼儿时期有意义；而环境因素，如个人经历（例如，有不同的朋友）在之后的几年里会变得更有影响力)”可推知，当孩子12岁时，和同伴一起吃饭可能对他们的食物挑食影响最大。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Among the study limitations, the researchers noted that there were fewer participants at age 7 compared to other time points and that the study sample (样本) had a large percentage of white British households of higher social-economic backgrounds compared to the general population of England and Wales, In future, the team said, research should focus on non-western populations where food culture, parental feeding practices and food security may be quite different.(在研究的局限性中，研究人员指出，与其他时间点相比，7岁时的参与者较少，而且与英格兰和威尔士的普通人口相比，研究样本中有很大比例的社会经济背景较高的英国白人家庭。研究小组表示，未来的研究应该关注非西方人口，那里的饮食文化、父母的喂养方式和食品安全可能大不相同)”可推知，未来的研究应关注非西方人口，应该收集更多的全球样本。故选A项。 D Roughly 42% of Americans are nearsighted today, compared to 25% in 1971. The WHO predicts that about half of the world’s population will have myopia, or nearsightedness, by 2050. It’s clear that our vision is becoming increasingly unclear. On seeing this, while our first reaction is to blame the increased use of screens, experts believe the real reason is not that, exactly, but it’s related: namely less time spent outdoors. Exposure to natural light stimulates dopamine (多巴胺), helping regulate normal growth and development of the eyeball. Indoor lighting doesn’t do the trick. Ideally, kids should get at least two hours of natural light a day. Still, our increased use of screens is a problem. Most screens are high contrast — like black text on a white page, or light text on a dark background. It’s still a theory, but some scientists think that the contrast of reading a book or looking at a bright screen in a dark room might be over-stimulating our retinas (视网膜), causing more eye growth problems in children. A 2018 study in Scientific Records analyzed the retinal pathways when looking at black text on white backgrounds compared to natural environments, and concluded the contrast could stimulate myopia. Close work, like reading and looking closely at screens, has also been shown to cause myopia. Researchers are working on ways to slow down rising myopia rates. A recent clinical trial found eye-drops with a low dose of atropine can slow myopia in kids. There’s also some early evidence that peripheral defocus lenses (周边离焦透镜) might help stop nearsightedness from worsening. It’s strongly recommended that regular eye examinations should be a must, for people with myopia are at a higher risk of developing eye issues as they age, such as glaucoma, early cataracts and macular degeneration. You can also reduce eye pressure by making a few simple lifestyle changes, such as ensuring that you are reading or working in good light, and taking frequent breaks, etc. 12. What’s the real reason why so many people are nearsighted? A. Dramatically increased use of screens. B. Not enough exposure to natural light. C. Not having enough breaks when working. D. Looking at screens at a short distance. 13. Why does the author mention the 2018 study in Scientific Records? A. To call on readers to remove their incorrect eye habits. B. To prove to readers the seriousness of nearsightedness. C. To support the link between high contrast and myopia. D. To show he is well-informed of the advances in this field. 14. What can you do to improve the situation of your myopia? A. Work on your homework for hours on end. B. Apply eye-drops with a high dose of atropine. C. Wear specially-designed peripheral defocus lenses. D. Have an eye operation recommended at an early age. 15. What’s the main structure of this passage? A. Questions — answers. B. Problem — reasons — solutions. C. Problem — changes — effects. D. Viewpoint — arguments — conclusion. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了近视率上升的现象，探讨了导致这一现象的可能原因，并提出了一些预防和缓解近视的措施。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段“On seeing this, while our first reaction is to blame the increased use of screens, experts believe the real reason is not that, exactly, but it’s related: namely less time spent outdoors. Exposure to natural light stimulates dopamine (多巴胺), helping regulate normal growth and development of the eyeball. Indoor lighting doesn’t do the trick. Ideally, kids should get at least two hours of natural light a day. (看到这一点，虽然我们的第一反应是责怪屏幕使用的增加，但专家认为真正的原因并不是这样，而是相关的：即户外活动的时间减少了。暴露在自然光下会刺激多巴胺，帮助调节眼球的正常生长和发育。室内照明并不能做到这一点。理想情况下，孩子们每天应该至少接受两个小时的自然光照射。)”可知，专家们认为真正的原因是户外活动时间减少，即缺乏足够的自然光照。故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第三段“Still, our increased use of screens is a problem. Most screens are high contrast—like black text on a white page, or light text on a dark background. It’s still a theory, but some scientists think that the contrast of reading a book or looking at a bright screen in a dark room might be over-stimulating our retinas (视网膜), causing more eye growth problems in children. A 2018 study in Scientific Records analyzed the retinal pathways when looking at black text on white backgrounds compared to natural environments, and concluded the contrast could stimulate myopia. Close work, like reading and looking closely at screens, has also been shown to cause myopia. (然而，我们越来越多地使用屏幕是一个问题。大多数屏幕都是高对比度的——比如白色页面上的黑色文本，或者深色背景上的浅色文本。这仍然是一个理论，但一些科学家认为，在黑暗的房间里看书或看明亮的屏幕的对比可能会过度刺激我们的视网膜，导致更多的儿童眼睛发育问题。2018年发表在《科学记录》上的一项研究分析了在白色背景上看黑色文字和在自然环境下看黑色文字时的视网膜通路，并得出结论，这种对比可能会刺激近视。近距离工作，如阅读和近距离看屏幕，也被证明会导致近视。)”可知，作者提到2018年的这项研究是为了支持高对比度与近视之间联系的观点。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第四段中“A recent clinical trial found eye-drops with a low dose of atropine can slow myopia in kids. There’s also some early evidence that peripheral defocus lenses (周边离焦透镜) might help stop nearsightedness from worsening. (最近的一项临床试验发现，含有低剂量阿托品的眼药水可以减缓儿童的近视。还有一些早期证据表明，周边离焦透镜可能有助于防止近视恶化。)”可知，配戴特别设计的周边离焦透镜可以帮助防止近视恶化。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Roughly 42% of Americans are nearsighted today, compared to 25% in 1971. The WHO predicts that about half of the world’s population will have myopia, or nearsightedness, by 2050. It’s clear that our vision is becoming increasingly unclear. (如今，大约42%的美国人患有近视，而1971年这一比例为25%。世界卫生组织预测，到2050年，世界上大约一半的人口将患有近视。很明显，我们的愿景正变得越来越不清晰。)”可知，第一段提出问题——近视问题日益严峻；第二段中的“On seeing this, while our first reaction is to blame the increased use of screens, experts believe the real reason is not that, exactly, but it’s related: namely less time spent outdoors. (看到这一点，虽然我们的第一反应是责怪屏幕使用的增加，但专家认为真正的原因并不是这样，而是相关的：即户外活动的时间减少了。)”、第三段中的“Still, our increased use of screens is a problem. (然而，我们越来越多地使用屏幕是一个问题。)”可知，第二、三段分析原因——从科学角度分析造成近视的原因；第四段中的“Researchers are working on ways to slow down rising myopia rates.(研究人员正在研究减缓近视率上升的方法。)”、第五段中的“It’s strongly recommended that regular eye examinations should be a must, for people with myopia are at a higher risk of developing eye issues as they age, such as glaucoma, early cataracts and macular degeneration. (强烈建议定期进行眼科检查，因为近视的人随着年龄的增长，患青光眼、早期白内障和黄斑变性等眼部疾病的风险更高。)”可知，第四、五段解决问题——如何缓解近视问题的可行办法。文章的主要结构是“问题—原因—解决方案”。故选B。 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。 Every time you’re online, you are bombarded (轰炸) by pictures, articles, links and videos trying to tell their story ________16________ Sometimes they want you to click on another story or ads at their own site, other times they want to upset people for political reasons.

But Jack was burning the midnight oil, busy with his revision work, determined to improve his grades. A wave of tiredness crept over him; he stretched his arms and drank another cup of coffee. He felt refreshed and continued to work hard. He knew he couldn't let his recent failures define him. That morning, as the test papers were handed back, Jack was shocked to find that he got the only D in his class. Though he didn’t do well in his lessons, the unexpected grade hit him hard. Most of his classmates got their desired grades, their laughter and chatter feeling like a painful reminder of his failure. He couldn't help but recall that he always passed exams with C, and in his parents' eyes, he was a total failure. This painful reality weighed heavily on him. Staring at the glaring D grade on his paper, Jack felt he should do something. He couldn’t continue down this path. He needed to change. From that day, he was more focused and eager to learn in class. He raised his hand more often, contributing more, and his assignments showed his hard work and dedication. His teacher, Ms. Green, impressed by his efforts, praised him in front of the class. His classmates started to see him differently too, giving him friendly smiles and support, which boosted his confidence. Everyone noticed a big change in Jack, except his busy parents. After a month of hard work, the day of the next exam finally arrived. Jack walked into the examination hall with confidence, feeling well prepared and ready to face the challenges ahead. As he worked through the test, everything seemed to flow smoothly. When the bell rang, he felt he could make it this time. Two days later, the results were announced. Jack was excited to see his amazing grade — B+. “Well done, Jack! We are all so proud of you!” Ms. Green said. After school, Jack rushed out, eager to show his parents his B+ grade. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 “Mom and Dad, I have good news to share!” _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Jack phoned Ms. Green, hoping she could remove his parents’ doubts. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 “Mom and Dad, I have good news to share!” Jack burst into the living room, his face glowing with excitement. “I got a B+ in the exam!” His parents exchanged surprised glances, and their disbelief was evident. “How could that be?” His dad asked, frowning. “You’ve never done that well before.” Reflecting on his efforts during countless days and night,Jack felt kind of hurt but quickly continued in defense of himself. “I’ve been studying really hard, Mom and Dad. I promise, I didn’t cheat.”   Jack phoned Ms. Green,hoping she could remove his parents’ doubts. “Ms. Green, my parents are skeptical about my B+ grade. Could you please talk to them? They don’t believe I could have improved so much on my own.” Ms. Green assured Jack that she would have a heart-to-heart talk with his parents, emphasizing his hard work and dedication. After several days, when he saw the delicious meal that his parents had prepared for him to express their apology, nothing could express his delight. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Jack由于最近的一次考试失利，决定奋发图强，经过一个月的努力学习，终于在下一次考试中取得了B+的好成绩，但是当他兴奋地告诉父母时，父母却对此表示怀疑的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“爸爸妈妈，我有好消息分享！”可知，第一段可描写Jack兴奋地告诉父母自己取得了好成绩，但父母对此表示怀疑，Jack对此感到有些受伤，但还是赶紧为自己辩解。 ②由第二段首句内容“Jack给格林女士打电话，希望她能消除他父母的怀疑。”可知，第二段可描写Jack给老师打电话，希望老师能帮助他消除父母的疑虑，老师答应了他，几天后，Jack看到父母为他准备的道歉晚餐，他非常高兴。 2.续写线索：告诉好消息——父母怀疑——Jack辩解——给老师打电话——老师答应——准备晚餐——Jack高兴 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①闯进：burst into/break into ②怀疑：doubt/be skeptical about/suspect ③准备晚餐：prepare a meal/cook dinner 情绪类 ①兴奋：glowing with excitement/be thrilled/be overjoyed ②高兴：delight/happiness/joy 【点睛】【高分句型1】“How could that be?” His dad asked, frowning.（运用了现在分词作状语） 【高分句型2】After several days, when he saw the delicious meal that his parents had prepared for him to express their apology, nothing could express his delight.（运用了when引导的时间状语从句和that引导的限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
