Here are a few volunteer opportunities for you to take up. Care for pets Animal shelters and homeless shelters are the best places for animal lovers. A typical day volunteering at an animal shelter would involve helping with the adoption process, feeding animals and cleaning up after animals. Participate in a beach cleanup Teens can associate with a local environmental organization for a beach preservation. This is a great way to learn about ecology and contribute to its improvement in a hands-on manner. The opportunity involves outdoor activities and is a good platform to connect with green advocates. Volunteer at a summer camp A job as a ‘Counselor-in-Training’ is a great fit for teens. It teaches them organization skills by training under experts. Teenagers can learn communication skills and benefit from the real-time feedback from children and parents. It is also an excellent opportunity to learn outdoor support skills, such as CPR and first aid. Volunteer at a local hospital Local hospitals are always on the lookout for a helping hand. Whether it’s chatting with residents, greeting visitors or transporting patients to the cafeteria, a little help goes a long way! A few hospitals may have an age limit and require volunteers to get basic training and commit their time each week. 21. Which volunteer opportunity suits environmentalists best? A. Care for pets. B. Volunteer at a local hospital. C. Volunteer at a summer camp. D. Participate in a beach cleanup. 22. What can volunteers benefit from a job at a summer camp? A They can acquire essential emergency medical skills. B. They can receive guidance from biologists. C. They can progress in academic performance. D. They can gain independence in outdoor activities. 23. What is special about volunteering at a local hospital? A. It welcomes volunteers of all ages. B. It may involve interactions with doctors. C. It may call for weekly time devotion. D. It focuses on transporting patients. B I wanted to buy something today - until I figured out the cost versus the benefit. At that point I knew it was a completely stupid idea. What I wanted to buy was an older car to have in addition to my four-year-old Smart Car that I absolutely like. So you wonder, why would I want to have another car as well? The reason is - grandkids. I have several and in the Smart Car I can only have one passenger (It’s a two-seater). Besides, one of my daughters-in-law does not trust the Smart Car as a vehicle for her daughter Lily to ride in, so that’s one little girl I can’t take anywhere at all. My husband also has a car - and a truck. So that’s why I had the stupid idea to buy an old Toyota I found on the lot of an honest used car salesman. Thank heavens I came to my senses before I spent $8000 to buy it, $80 or so to license it and probably $500 to insure it for a year. It would be senseless to buy that car. My grandkids just have to continue to come with me one by one. I can’t take two girls out to lunch or two girls shopping or pick up the brother and sister that live in the same house. As for the little one that’s not allowed to ride with me…well, Grandpa will have to pick her up. As for me, I didn’t get money in my savings account by being totally stupid. Sure, doing things with the kids is fun, but spending that kind of money to put two or more of them in a group - which would probably drive me crazy anyway - is really dumb. Sometimes temptation can prove that you still have a little sense. 24. What can we know about the author’s grandkid Lily? A. She refused to stay with her grandma. B. She thought it was dangerous to sit in a Smart Car. C. She was always picked up by her mom. D. She was not allowed to take her grandma’s car. 25. Why did the author give up the idea of buying the Toyota? A. It was a used car. B. She couldn’t afford it. C. The salesman was unreliable. D. There was no need for it. 26. What does the underlined word “dumb” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Difficult. B. reasonable. C. stupid. D. amazing. 27. What can be the best title of the text? A. Look before you leap. B. Better late than never. C. Don’t judge a book by its cover. D. Every advantage has its disadvantage. C It’s Paris Fashion Week and the streets of the city are filled with designers, models and journalists. Among the crowds, eagle-eyed experts are taking careful notes. Their job is to detect emerging trends. Their notes will instantly be added to selected “trend forecasts”, which will be sold to designers, who will use them to inspire new pieces. Traditionally, these fashion forecasters have relied only on such methods to make predictions. But as artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have become increasingly powerful in the last decade, forecasting agencies are now turning to machine learning for help. This is all welcome news for an industry worth about $2 trillion globally. Forecasts can have a big influence on the fashion industry’s carbon footprint, which is responsible for at least 4% of all worldwide emissions. Designers will produce more of what will actually sell——at the moment, 25% of fashion products are unsalable, or not sold. Besides, using AI tools that can analyze millions of posts from around the world allows designers to look at fashion trends more globally. But designers often feel insecure about relying just on the data provided by AI. “A few years ago, there were big indicators on social media of yellow being a trend,” says Francesca Muston, vice president of a trend forecasting company. “And if you had followed completely the social media data gathered by AI models, yellow pieces would seem to be a good investment. But how many people are really going to wear a bright yellow coat? That’s a brave fashion choice.” AI tools don’t have their own aesthetic (审美的) viewpoint so they may not be able to satisfy people’s desire for newness. “That’s why we maintain a very strong creative viewpoint in our forecasting with a team of industry experts,” says Muston Dr Michal Koren, a researcher, ways, “The role of human experts in identifying trends will continue to be crucial even as AI and data-driven models become more accurate.” 28. What is the purpose of the notes taken by the experts? A. To report the news about Paris Fashion Week. B. To help them make fashion predictions. C. To compare different design methods. D. To collect information about designers. 29. What does paragraph 3 mainly discuss? A. The various benefits of using Al tools to predict trends. B. The high environmental costs of the fashion industry. C. The importance of looking at fashion more globally. D. The serious problem of unsalable fashion products. 30. Why does Muston mention the trend of yellow predicted a few years ago? A. To explain why people dislike some new trends. B. To show AI fashion predictions are not always reliable. C. To describe the recent changes in people’s fashion choices. D. To prove the key role of social media in fashion forecasting. 31. Which statement might both Muston and Koren agree with? A. Machine learning is more creative than human experts. B. Many human trend forecasters will be unemployed. C. It is possible for Al to have its own fashion sense. D. AI tools will not replace human trend forecasters. D The sharp fin (鳍). The rows upon rows of sharp teeth. The large black eyes. The sharks you see on television in Jaws or Discovery’s ”Shark Week“ are not the friendliest looking creatures. They aren’t exactly an animal you want to find near you while swimming in the ocean. Despite their portrayals (刻画) in movies and popular culture, sharks are complicated, misunderstood creatures that are weaker than they appear. One very common misunderstanding about sharks is their desire to hunt humans. Actually when sharks attack humans, it is because they mistake a human for their normal prey (猎物),seals or dolphins. They don’t seek out humans on purpose. Statistically, you are more likely to be struck by lightning than be bitten by a shark. Sharks are very important to the ocean as they are at the top of the food chain. Some sharks even control the balance of an ecosystem through fear alone. Tiger sharks in Australia help protect seagrass meadows from turtles. Turtles eat the seagrass and without the sharks, will destroy these meadows. When tiger sharks are present though, the turtles are scared away, holding back their appetite for seagrass and protecting its growth. Though sharks have a reputation for being very scary to humans, the sad truth is that they should be scared of humans. The number of sharks in the ocean is steadily dropping. There are a few reasons for this. For one, they mature quite slowly, over several years, and produce relatively few young. For another, overfishing of sharks is happening because more and more people want their fins. About 100 million sharks are killed every year according to National Geographic. Shark fin is a way for people to show off their wealth. Shark fins are also believed to have medicinal benefits, though there is no evidence or proof that they actually do. 32. What do most people think about sharks? A. They are ugly. B. They are important C. They are violent. D. They are complicated. 33. The author compares shark bites to lightning strikes to show they are_________. A. Deadly B. rare C. unavoidable D. unpredictable 34. Why should sharks be scared of humans according to the author? A. Humans keep sharks to show off. B. Humans kill sharks in large quantities. C. Humans catch sharks for medical research. D. Humans are greater in number than sharks 35. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. SOS: Save Our Sharks! B. Sharks: King of the Ocean C. Shark Fins: An Ecological Crisis D. Sharks: Killers or Misunderstood? 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 In the workplace, it’s crucial to avoid making promises we can’t keep. But how can we do this? One way to do this is by being realistic about our capabilities and timetable. For instance, a workmate asks us to complete a task within an extremely tight deadline, but we’ re already busy with other work. ____36____ We could say, “Let me check my current workload and get back to you on whether I can meet this deadline.” ____37____ If we’ re not sure about the requirements of a task or project, we should ask questions before committing. For example, when a manager assigns a complex project, we can ask for more details about the resources available, and potential challenges. This way, we can make a more informed decision. Moreover, we should learn to say no when necessary. ____38____ It shows that we respect our own limitations and the importance of delivering quality work. For example, if we’ re asked to take on a task that we know is beyond our expert knowledge or skills, we can politely decline and suggest alternative solutions or people who might be better suited for the job. This action will earn us the respect of our workmates. ____39____ Furthermore, it’s important to manage expectations. If we’ re asked to do something that may have uncertainties, we should communicate them upfront. For instance, we’ re asked to prepare a presentation, but we can’t collect all the necessary data in time. Then, we could say, “____40____ But I’ll do that and keep you updating on my progress.” This way, our superiors are aware of the potential risks and won’t be blindsided. A. Communicating clearly is a wise choice. B. Doing this doesn’t mean we’re uncooperative. C. Naturally, we can maintain a good reputation in the workplace. D. There might be some challenges with finding enough information. E. Trusting each other really means helping each other in the workplace. F. Instead of immediately saying yes, take a moment to assess our schedule. G. We create a positive work environment where everyone can finish their jobs well. 第三部分 语言知识运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共 15 小题；每小题 1分，满分 15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、 B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 In 2014, Amy collapsed from a brain hemorrhage (脑溢血) while working.

I was having lunch when Dad told me to get ready. I became unhappy. I don’t like Saturdays! Even though it’s a holiday for most children, it is not for me because I need to go to football club. Many kids love sports, but I am not one of them. I prefer to stay at home and read. I don’t like running, so in a team I am a bad player. The coach is tired of me and my teammates sometimes think I’m useless. I have no idea how to play football. Usually, after practice my teammates would ask me to stay out of the game and I would just nod. Last Thursday, the coach told us that we would be competing with another team in a month and many people would come to see the game. Our opponents (对手) were the winner last year and I froze and thought how awkward it would be if the team lost because of me. So I decided to practice hard for the match and I went to practice every single day. After one month, when the game day came, my teammates were unwilling to take me in the team, and I also wished to stay away from the ground as well. But they happened to be short of one player and had no choice but to take me in the team. Our team was the Big Blues. There was a great cheer on our arrival in the field. I got very nervous. The game started and within two minutes, I got a blue card. By the time I was allowed back, the score was two goals for each team and the next goal would decide the winning team. 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Paragraph l： When the ball came towards me, I froze. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2： Our team, The Big Blues, won the match! ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null 武汉市常青联合体 2024-2025学年度第一学期期中考试 高二 英语试卷 考试时间：2024年 11 月 13 日 14: 30-16: 30 试卷满分：150 分 祝考试顺利★ 注意事项： 1. 答题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在试卷和答题卡上，并将准考证号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2. 选择题的作答：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。写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3. 非选择题的作答：用黑色签字笔直接答在答题卡上对应的答题区域内。写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 4. 考试结束后，请将答题卡上交。 第一部分 听力 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共 5 小题；每小题 1. 5 分，满分 7. 5 分) 听下面 5 段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的 A、 B、 C三个选项中选 出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有 10 秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 Where does the man plan to put the painting?

Stevenson’s is quite an old company. It was set up in 1923 by Ronald Stevenson who went into the steel industry when he left school. Stevenson’s original plan was to produce spare parts for the machine tools industry — although in fact that never happened. Shortly before the company went into production, Stevenson was given the opportunity to make goods for hospitals, so that’s what we did for the first five years. Now some idea of what you’ll be doing during your two weeks with us. Most mornings you’ll have a presentation from one of the managers, to learn about their department. And you’ll spend some time in each department, observing and talking to people. Normally a teacher from your school will come in each week to find out how the group were getting on, but your school isn’t able to arrange that this year.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇应用文，介绍了几种适合青少年的志愿者活动。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据Participate in a beach cleanup中“Teens can associate with a local environmental organization for a beach preservation. This is a great way to learn about ecology and contribute to its improvement in a hands-on manner.(青少年可以与当地的环保组织合作，保护海滩。这是一个学习生态知识并以亲身实践的方式为改善生态环境做出贡献的好方法)”可知，参加海滩清理活动最适合环境保护主义者。故选D项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Volunteer at a summer camp中“Teenagers can learn communication skills and benefit from the real-time feedback from children and parents. It is also an excellent opportunity to learn outdoor support skills, such as CPR and first aid.(青少年可以学习沟通技巧，并从孩子和家长的实时反馈中受益。这也是学习心肺复苏术和急救等户外支持技能的绝佳机会)”可知，在夏令营做志愿者可以掌握基本的紧急医疗技能。故选A项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Volunteer at a local hospital中“A few hospitals may have an age limit and require volunteers to get basic training and commit their time each week.(一些医院可能有年龄限制，并要求志愿者接受基本培训和每周投入时间)”可知，在当地医院做志愿者的特殊之处是需要每周投入时间。故选C项。 B I wanted to buy something today - until I figured out the cost versus the benefit. At that point I knew it was a completely stupid idea. What I wanted to buy was an older car to have in addition to my four-year-old Smart Car that I absolutely like. So you wonder, why would I want to have another car as well? The reason is - grandkids. I have several and in the Smart Car I can only have one passenger (It’s a two-seater). Besides, one of my daughters-in-law does not trust the Smart Car as a vehicle for her daughter Lily to ride in, so that’s one little girl I can’t take anywhere at all. My husband also has a car - and a truck. So that’s why I had the stupid idea to buy an old Toyota I found on the lot of an honest used car salesman. Thank heavens I came to my senses before I spent $8000 to buy it, $80 or so to license it and probably $500 to insure it for a year. It would be senseless to buy that car. My grandkids just have to continue to come with me one by one. I can’t take two girls out to lunch or two girls shopping or pick up the brother and sister that live in the same house. As for the little one that’s not allowed to ride with me…well, Grandpa will have to pick her up. As for me, I didn’t get money in my savings account by being totally stupid. Sure, doing things with the kids is fun, but spending that kind of money to put two or more of them in a group - which would probably drive me crazy anyway - is really dumb. Sometimes temptation can prove that you still have a little sense. 24. What can we know about the author’s grandkid Lily? A. She refused to stay with her grandma. B. She thought it was dangerous to sit in a Smart Car. C. She was always picked up by her mom. D. She was not allowed to take her grandma’s car. 25. Why did the author give up the idea of buying the Toyota? A. It was a used car. B. She couldn’t afford it. C. The salesman was unreliable. D. There was no need for it. 26. What does the underlined word “dumb” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Difficult. B. reasonable. C. stupid. D. amazing. 27. What can be the best title of the text? A. Look before you leap. B. Better late than never. C. Don’t judge a book by its cover. D. Every advantage has its disadvantage. 【答案】24. D 25. D 26. C 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在想要买车时，因考虑到买车后的利与弊而最终放弃买车的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Besides, one of my daughters-in-law does not trust the Smart Car as a vehicle for her daughter Lily to ride in, so that’s one little girl I can’t take anywhere at all. (此外，我的一个儿媳不相信Smart Car是她女儿Lily乘坐的交通工具，所以我根本无法带她去任何地方)”可知Lily的妈妈不允许她乘坐奶奶的车。故选D。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Thank heavens I came to my senses before I spent $8000 to buy it, $80 or so to license it and probably $500 to insure it for a year. It would be senseless to buy that car. (谢天谢地，在我花8000美元买它，花80美元左右买它许可证，大概花500美元买一年的保险之前，我醒悟过来了。买那辆车是愚蠢的)”以及下文的解释可知作者认为没有必要买那辆车，故选D。 【26题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Sure, doing things with the kids is fun, but spending that kind of money to put two or more of them in a group - which would probably drive me crazy anyway (当然，和孩子们一起做事很有趣，但花那么多钱让两个或更多的孩子组成一个小组——这可能会让我发疯)”所以可推断出作者认为这样做是愚蠢的，故dumb意为“愚蠢的”，和stupid同义，故选C。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文的讲述可知，本文主要描写了作者在冲动下想要买一辆根本不需要的二手车时，经过思考，幡然醒悟的过程，故A选项“Look before you leap. (三思而后行。)”符合文章主旨大意，是文章的最佳标题。故选A。 C It’s Paris Fashion Week and the streets of the city are filled with designers, models and journalists. Among the crowds, eagle-eyed experts are taking careful notes. Their job is to detect emerging trends. Their notes will instantly be added to selected “trend forecasts”, which will be sold to designers, who will use them to inspire new pieces. Traditionally, these fashion forecasters have relied only on such methods to make predictions. But as artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have become increasingly powerful in the last decade, forecasting agencies are now turning to machine learning for help. This is all welcome news for an industry worth about $2 trillion globally. Forecasts can have a big influence on the fashion industry’s carbon footprint, which is responsible for at least 4% of all worldwide emissions. Designers will produce more of what will actually sell——at the moment, 25% of fashion products are unsalable, or not sold. Besides, using AI tools that can analyze millions of posts from around the world allows designers to look at fashion trends more globally. But designers often feel insecure about relying just on the data provided by AI. “A few years ago, there were big indicators on social media of yellow being a trend,” says Francesca Muston, vice president of a trend forecasting company. “And if you had followed completely the social media data gathered by AI models, yellow pieces would seem to be a good investment. But how many people are really going to wear a bright yellow coat? That’s a brave fashion choice.” AI tools don’t have their own aesthetic (审美的) viewpoint so they may not be able to satisfy people’s desire for newness. “That’s why we maintain a very strong creative viewpoint in our forecasting with a team of industry experts,” says Muston Dr Michal Koren, a researcher, ways, “The role of human experts in identifying trends will continue to be crucial even as AI and data-driven models become more accurate.” 28. What is the purpose of the notes taken by the experts? A. To report the news about Paris Fashion Week. B. To help them make fashion predictions. C. To compare different design methods. D. To collect information about designers. 29. What does paragraph 3 mainly discuss? A. The various benefits of using Al tools to predict trends. B. The high environmental costs of the fashion industry. C. The importance of looking at fashion more globally. D. The serious problem of unsalable fashion products. 30. Why does Muston mention the trend of yellow predicted a few years ago? A. To explain why people dislike some new trends. B. To show AI fashion predictions are not always reliable. C. To describe the recent changes in people’s fashion choices. D. To prove the key role of social media in fashion forecasting. 31. Which statement might both Muston and Koren agree with? A. Machine learning is more creative than human experts. B. Many human trend forecasters will be unemployed. C. It is possible for Al to have its own fashion sense. D. AI tools will not replace human trend forecasters. 【答案】28. B 29. A 30. B 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲人工智能正在时尚预测领域大显身手，不过由于它自身没有审美，所以它很难取代人类时尚预测专家。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。由第一段中的“Among the crowds, eagle-eyed experts are taking careful notes. Their job is to detect emerging trends. Their notes will instantly be added to selected ‘trend forecasts’, which will be sold to designers, who will use them to inspire new pieces. Traditionally, these fashion forecasters have relied only on such methods to make predictions.(在人群中，目光敏锐的专家们正在仔细地做笔记。他们的工作是发现新出现的趋势。他们的笔记将立即添加到选定的‘趋势预测’中，这些预测将出售给设计师，他们将用这些笔记来激发新作品的灵感。传统上，这些时尚预测者只依靠这些方法进行预测。)”可知，这些专家在巴黎时装周上记笔记的目的是帮助他们预测时装趋势。故选B项。 【29题详解】 主旨大意题。由文章第三段“This is all welcome news for an industry worth about $2 trillion globally. Forecasts can have a big influence on the fashion industry’s carbon footprint, which is responsible for at least 4% of all worldwide emissions. Designers will produce more of what will actually sell——at the moment, 25% of fashion products are unsalable, or not sold. Besides, using AI tools that can analyze millions of posts from around the world allows designers to look at fashion trends more globally.(对于一个全球价值约2万亿美元的行业来说，这都是好消息。预测会对时尚行业的碳足迹产生重大影响，该行业至少占全球总排放量的4%。设计师将生产更多实际销售的产品——目前，25%的时尚产品滞销或滞销。此外，使用可以分析来自世界各地数百万条帖子的人工智能工具，设计师可以更全面地了解全球时尚趋势。)”中提供的数据和事实可知，本段论述了使用人工智能预测时装趋势的多种益处。故选A项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。由倒数第二段中的“AI tools don’t have their own aesthetic (审美的)viewpoint so they may not be able to satisfy people’s desire for newness. “That’s why we maintain a very strong creative viewpoint in our forecasting with a team of industry experts,” says Muston(人工智能工具没有自己的美学观点，因此可能无法满足人们对新鲜事物的渴望。穆斯顿说：‘这就是为什么我们与行业专家团队在预测中保持了非常强烈的创造性观点。’)”可知，Muston提到几年前预测的黄色调时尚趋势，是为了说明人工智能时尚预测有时候会不可靠。故选B项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“That’s why we maintain a very strong creative viewpoint in our forecasting with a team of industry experts,(这就是为什么我们与行业专家团队在预测中保持了非常强烈的创造性观点，)”和最后一段中“The role of human experts in identifying trends will continue to be crucial even as AI and data-driven models become more accurate.(即使人工智能和数据驱动模型变得更加准确，人类专家在识别趋势方面的作用也将继续至关重要。)”可知，Muston和Koren都认为，人工智能工具不会取代人类时尚预测专家。故选D项。 D The sharp fin (鳍). The rows upon rows of sharp teeth. The large black eyes. The sharks you see on television in Jaws or Discovery’s ”Shark Week“ are not the friendliest looking creatures. They aren’t exactly an animal you want to find near you while swimming in the ocean. Despite their portrayals (刻画) in movies and popular culture, sharks are complicated, misunderstood creatures that are weaker than they appear. One very common misunderstanding about sharks is their desire to hunt humans. Actually when sharks attack humans, it is because they mistake a human for their normal prey (猎物),seals or dolphins. They don’t seek out humans on purpose. Statistically, you are more likely to be struck by lightning than be bitten by a shark. Sharks are very important to the ocean as they are at the top of the food chain. Some sharks even control the balance of an ecosystem through fear alone. Tiger sharks in Australia help protect seagrass meadows from turtles. Turtles eat the seagrass and without the sharks, will destroy these meadows. When tiger sharks are present though, the turtles are scared away, holding back their appetite for seagrass and protecting its growth. Though sharks have a reputation for being very scary to humans, the sad truth is that they should be scared of humans. The number of sharks in the ocean is steadily dropping. There are a few reasons for this. For one, they mature quite slowly, over several years, and produce relatively few young. For another, overfishing of sharks is happening because more and more people want their fins. About 100 million sharks are killed every year according to National Geographic. Shark fin is a way for people to show off their wealth. Shark fins are also believed to have medicinal benefits, though there is no evidence or proof that they actually do. 32. What do most people think about sharks? A. They are ugly. B. They are important C. They are violent. D. They are complicated. 33. The author compares shark bites to lightning strikes to show they are_________. A. Deadly B. rare C. unavoidable D. unpredictable 34. Why should sharks be scared of humans according to the author? A. Humans keep sharks to show off. B. Humans kill sharks in large quantities. C. Humans catch sharks for medical research. D Humans are greater in number than sharks 35. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. SOS: Save Our Sharks! B. Sharks: King of the Ocean C. Shark Fins: An Ecological Crisis D. Sharks: Killers or Misunderstood? 【答案】32. C 33. B 34. B 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了人们对鲨鱼的误解，鲨鱼在海洋生态系统中的重要性，以及鲨鱼面临的威胁和生存状态。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“One very common misunderstanding about sharks is their desire to hunt humans. Actually when sharks attack humans, it is because they mistake a human for their normal prey(猎物),seals or dolphins. They don’t seek out humans on purpose.(关于鲨鱼的一个很常见的误解是它们想猎杀人类。事实上，当鲨鱼攻击人类时，那是因为它们把人类误认为是它们的正常猎物，海豹或海豚。它们不会故意寻找人类。)”可知，大多数人对鲨鱼的误解是鲨鱼想要猎杀人类，也就是鲨鱼是暴力的。故选C。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“They don’t seek out humans on purpose. Statistically, you are more likely to be struck by lightning than be bitten by a shark.(它们不会故意寻找人类。据统计，你被闪电击中的可能性比被鲨鱼咬伤的可能性更大。)”可知，作者将被鲨鱼咬伤的可能性和被闪电击中的可能性相比较是为了说明被鲨鱼咬伤的可能性极小。故选B。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Though sharks have a reputation for being very scary to humans, the sad truth is that they should be scared of humans. The number of sharks in the ocean is steadily dropping. There are a few reasons for this. For one, they mature quite slowly, over several years, and produce relatively few young. For another, overfishing of sharks is happening because more and more people want their fins.(虽然鲨鱼对人类来说是非常可怕的，但可悲的事实是它们应该害怕人类。海洋中鲨鱼的数量正在稳步下降。这有几个原因。首先，它们成熟得很慢，需要几年的时间，而且产生的幼崽相对较少。另一方面，鲨鱼的过度捕捞正在发生，因为越来越多的人想要它们的鳍。)”可知，鲨鱼应该惧怕人类是因为人类过度捕捞鲨鱼。故选B。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“The sharp fin(鳍). The rows upon rows of sharp teeth. The large black eyes. The sharks you see on television in Jaws or Discovery’s ”Shark Week“ are not the friendliest looking creatures. They aren’t exactly an animal you want to find near you while swimming in the ocean. Despite their portrayals(刻画) in movies and popular culture, sharks are complicated, misunderstood creatures that are weaker than they appear.(尖锐的鳍。一排排锋利的牙齿。又大又黑的眼睛。你在电视节目《大白鲨》或探索频道的“鲨鱼周”中看到的鲨鱼并不是看起来最友好的生物。当你在海里游泳时，你不会想在你附近找到它们。尽管鲨鱼在电影和流行文化中被描绘成这样，但它们是一种复杂的、被误解的生物，比它们看起来的要弱。)”以及全文内容可知，本文主要是讲解了人们对鲨鱼的误解以及鲨鱼的真实情况等。所以短文的最佳的标题为“鲨鱼:杀手还是被误解了？”故选D。 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 In the workplace, it’s crucial to avoid making promises we can’t keep. But how can we do this? One way to do this is by being realistic about our capabilities and timetable. For instance, a workmate asks us to complete a task within an extremely tight deadline, but we’ re already busy with other work. ____36____ We could say, “Let me check my current workload and get back to you on whether I can meet this deadline.” ____37____ If we’ re not sure about the requirements of a task or project, we should ask questions before committing. For example, when a manager assigns a complex project, we can ask for more details about the resources available, and potential challenges. This way, we can make a more informed decision. Moreover, we should learn to say no when necessary. ____38____ It shows that we respect our own limitations and the importance of delivering quality work. For example, if we’ re asked to take on a task that we know is beyond our expert knowledge or skills, we can politely decline and suggest alternative solutions or people who might be better suited for the job. This action will earn us the respect of our workmates. ____39____ Furthermore, it’s important to manage expectations. If we’ re asked to do something that may have uncertainties, we should communicate them upfront. For instance, we’ re asked to prepare a presentation, but we can’t collect all the necessary data in time. Then, we could say, “____40____ But I’ll do that and keep you updating on my progress.” This way, our superiors are aware of the potential risks and won’t be blindsided. A. Communicating clearly is a wise choice. B. Doing this doesn’t mean we’re uncooperative. C. Naturally, we can maintain a good reputation in the workplace. D. There might be some challenges with finding enough information. E. Trusting each other really means helping each other in the workplace. F. Instead of immediately saying yes, take a moment to assess our schedule. G. We create a positive work environment where everyone can finish their jobs well. 【答案】36. F 37. A 38. B 39. C 40. D 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文，介绍了如何在工作场所避免无法兑现承诺的方法。 【36题详解】 前文“For instance, a workmate asks us to complete a task within an extremely tight deadline, but we’ re already busy with other work.(例如，一位同事要求我们在非常紧迫的期限内完成一项任务，但我们已经在忙于其他工作)”表明不确定手头是否有时间完成紧迫的工作，后文“We could say, “Let me check my current workload and get back to you on whether I can meet this deadline.”(我们可以说，“让我看看我现在的工作量，然后告诉你我是否能在最后期限前完成。”)”为评估自己的计划安排的一种说辞，F选项“与其马上答应，不如花点时间评估一下我们的日程安排。”承上启下，表示应先评估自己的计划再做安排。故选F。 【37题详解】 后文“If we’ re not sure about the requirements of a task or project, we should ask questions before committing. For example, when a manager assigns a complex project, we can ask for more details about the resources available, and potential challenges.(如果我们不确定任务或项目的要求，我们应该在承诺之前问问题。例如，当一个经理分配一个复杂的项目时，我们可以询问关于可用资源和潜在挑战的更多细节)”表示在承诺之前应问清楚，即，要有个清晰的沟通，A选项“清晰地沟通是一个明智的选择。”为本段主旨句，符合大意。故选A。 【38题详解】 前文“Moreover, we should learn to say no when necessary.(此外，我们应该学会在必要的时候说不)”表明应该在必要的时候拒绝，即，学会拒绝，B选项“这样做并不意味着我们不合作。”表示该拒绝时就拒绝并不是不合作，下文“It shows that we respect our own limitations and the importance of delivering quality work.(这表明我们尊重自己的局限性和交付高质量工作的重要性。)”表明这是这样做的真正目的。故选B。 【39题详解】 前文“For example, if we’ re asked to take on a task that we know is beyond our expert knowledge or skills, we can politely decline and suggest alternative solutions or people who might be better suited for the job. This action will earn us the respect of our workmates.(例如，如果我们被要求承担一项任务，我们知道这超出了我们的专业知识或技能，我们可以礼貌地拒绝，并建议其他解决方案或更适合这份工作的人。这一行为将为我们赢得同事的尊重)”举例说明应该在适当的时候婉拒，这样的行为将获得尊重，C选项“自然，我们可以在工作场所保持良好的声誉”表示这样做的另外一种好处。故选C。 【40题详解】 前文“For instance, we’ re asked to prepare a presentation, but we can’t collect all the necessary data in time.(例如，我们被要求准备一份报告，但我们不能及时收集所有必要的数据)”举例说明在工作中不能按照要求收集数据，后文“But I’ll do that and keep you updating on my progress.(但我会这样做，并随时向你汇报我的进展)”为这种情况的具体解释和做法，D选项“要找到足够的信息可能会有一些挑战。”承上启下，为这一情况下的如实反映，解释说明这样做有困难，符合语境。故选D。 第三部分 语言知识运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共 15 小题；每小题 1分，满分 15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、 B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 In 2014, Amy collapsed from a brain hemorrhage (脑溢血) while working.

Even though it’s a holiday for most children, it is not for me because I need to go to football club. Many kids love sports, but I am not one of them. I prefer to stay at home and read. I don’t like running, so in a team I am a bad player. The coach is tired of me and my teammates sometimes think I’m useless. I have no idea how to play football. Usually, after practice my teammates would ask me to stay out of the game and I would just nod. Last Thursday, the coach told us that we would be competing with another team in a month and many people would come to see the game. Our opponents (对手) were the winner last year and I froze and thought how awkward it would be if the team lost because of me. So I decided to practice hard for the match and I went to practice every single day. After one month, when the game day came, my teammates were unwilling to take me in the team, and I also wished to stay away from the ground as well. But they happened to be short of one player and had no choice but to take me in the team. Our team was the Big Blues. There was a great cheer on our arrival in the field. I got very nervous. The game started and within two minutes, I got a blue card. By the time I was allowed back, the score was two goals for each team and the next goal would decide the winning team. 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Paragraph l： When the ball came towards me, I froze. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2： Our team, The Big Blues, won the match! ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: When the ball came towards me, I froze. My teammates were very tired and seemed worried. The opponents rushed towards me. Without thinking anymore, I found courage, and I kicked the ball with all my strength. The opponents didn’t think highly of me, so they didn’t think that I would be able to kick the ball so powerfully. As I kicked, the goalkeeper jumped towards the ball but missed it. Paragraph 2: Our team, The Big Blues, won the match! All my teammates ran towards me to lift me in the air. Since that day, I have gained some confidence and started to play better. My coach and teammates are also content with me and they try to improve my skills every time I play. Now I have realized that I always liked this sport, but my problem with it had something to do with the lack of encouragement I got. Now I can build on my confidence and I’ve realized I can also play this sport very well. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达是读后续写。本文以人物为线索展开。作者不喜欢踢足球，但是父母强迫作者去足球俱乐部。队员也都不喜欢他。一个重要的足球比赛中，作者被罚蓝牌回到赛场后，发现比分是两队各进两球，下一个进球将决定获胜的球队。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“他当球向我走来时，我僵住了。”可知，第一段可以描写球走向作者时，他的心理活动和动作，对方球员的反应。 ②由第二段句首内容“我们的球队，大蓝队，赢得了比赛！”可知，第二段可以描写George作者进球得分时大家的动作，作者当时的表情、动作，作者从此后的转变和感悟。 2.续写线索：球来—踢球—进球—获胜—激动—转变—感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①迅速移动：rush/ run quickly ②踢：kick/ strike ③高度评价：think highly of/ give a high appraisal to 情绪类 ①疲倦的：tired/ weary/ exhausted ②担心的：worried/ anxious/ concerned 【点睛】【高分句型1】The opponents didn’t think highly of me, so they didn’t think that I would be able to kick the ball so powerfully.
