You will love the soft white sand and the crystal (水晶般的) clear water. It is one of the most beautiful beaches in Zanzibar. But, be careful with the tides, because they can rise very fast and catch you. Paje Beach Situated in the east of the island, Paje Beach is characterized by strong tides. Here you will find a relaxed atmosphere and a dream beach with crystal clear waters and silky soft sand. On top of that, you can practice water sports such as kitesurfing, because this beach is known as one of the best in the world for this activity. In addition, if you like the nightlife, here you will find a lot of bars and nightclubs to spend a fun night. Jambiani Beach Jambiani beach is one of the most remote beaches of Zanzibar and that is why it is one of our favorites. It has a length of 7 km and is located southeast of the island. It has hardly any rocks and the sand is very fine. It is a very quiet and uncrowded beach. Matemwe Beach Located on the east coast of Zanzibar, this beach is one of the longest on the island. During low tide, the water goes down 2 kilometers, and the locals take advantage of it to collect sea animals. The beach is beautiful but yes, in this particular one, it is essential to enter the water with great care and even appropriate footwear, as there are a lot of sea urchins (海胆). 1. What can visitors do when they choose Nungwi Beach? A. Catch the tides. B. Watch wonderful sunsets. C. Enjoy a colorful nightlife. D. Experience various water sports. 2. Which place is suitable for visitors to practice kitesurfing? A. Nungwi Beach. B. Paje Beach. C. Jambiani Beach. D. Matemwe Beach. 3. Who will probably be attracted to Matemwe Beach? A. Sunrise lovers. B. Brave surfers. C. Sea animal collectors. D. Nightclub frequenters. B Some little boys are addicted to Legos. Others can’t get enough of dinosaurs. But it is Blackpool Tower in England that has captured one 6-year-old’s imagination. The Blackpool Tower was built in 1894. It is twice as tall as the Statue of Liberty in NYC. Now Charlie Barratt has achieved his dream by becoming the voice of the attraction’s lift (电梯). Charlie did a project about the tower at school, recording his own version of the lift’s existing speech. In the voice-over, Charlie welcomes visitors to the attraction. He also offers interesting facts about the tower. One of his teachers contacted Kenny Mew, the tower’s operation manager, and told him about Charlie’s love for the 518-foot (157 meter) structure. Mew told BBC Radio Lancashire, “His school reached out to me and said they had this young boy who was passionate about Blackpool Tower and had actually recorded the lift speech and I was thinking to myself: how’s he done that? I played it back and he had the speech word for word that we’d had recorded already in the lift and it just sounded amazing. And we thought we were going to give Charlie the opportunity to do it. He was absolutely brilliant. He’s done an amazing job, and we’re really proud of what he’s done.” Charlie was then invited into a professional recording studio to perform his version and his mum, Wendy, is as thrilled as he is. She told the BBC, “He adores the tower.” Wendy first took Charlie to visit the tower when he was a baby. She said he loved it “from the minute he can walk”. Now Charlie is the voice of the attraction’s lift. As well as the lift, there are plans in progress for Charlie to lend his voice to other areas in the future. 4. Why does the author mention other boys in the first paragraph? A. To imply that Blackpool Tower is better than Legos and dinosaurs. B. To highlight that Charlie Barratt has a unique passion. C. To indicate that Charlie Barratt cannot get along with other boys. D. To criticize other boys who fail to achieve their dreams. 5. What can we know about Blackpool Tower? A. It did not have a lift speech until Charlie made one. B. Its manager attempted to find a boy to record lift speech. C. It is now using Charlie’s remade recording in its lift. D. It is the highest tower in England with interesting facts. 6. Why did Charlie record the voice-over for Blackpool Tower on his own? A. His mother Wendy inspired him. B. His teacher encouraged him to do so. C. He had a strong interest in Blackpool Tower. D. He decided to attract more tourists to it. 7. Which words can better describe Charlie? A. Passionate and unselfish. B. Hard-working and persuasive. C. Promising and kind. D. Enthusiastic and committed. C The idea of low material desire, low consumption and refusing to work, marry and have children, concluded as a “lying down” lifestyle, recently struck a chord with many young Chinese who are eager to take pause to breathe in this fast-paced and highly-competitive society. Many millennials and generation Zs complained to the Global Times that burdens, including work stress, family disputes and financial strains, have pushed them “against the wall”. They said they hate the “involution”, joking that they would rather give up some of what they have than get trapped in an endless competition against peers. “Instead of always following the ‘virtues’ of struggle, endure and sacrifice to bear the stresses, they prefer a temporary lying down as catharsis and adjustment,” said a scholar. “It is no wonder that some young people, under the growing pressures from child-raising to paying the mortgage today, would try to live in a simple way and leave the worries behind.” Interestingly the majority of millennials and Gen Zs reached by the Global Times, who claim to be big fans of the lying down philosophy, acknowledged that they only accept a temporary lying down as a short rest. It is true that with the great improvement of living conditions, some Chinese youth have partially lost the spirit of hardship and are not willing to bear too much hard work. But in fact, lying down is not entirely comfortable. Young people who lie down always feel guilty about their constant loss of morale far beyond their reach. “Young people on campus have both aspirations and confusion about their future, but most of us have rejected setting ourselves up in chains to waste opportunities and challenges,” a postgraduate student told the Global Times. “It’s no use running away. I have to ‘stand up’ and face the reality sooner or later.” 8. Which of the following can be described as a “lying down” lifestyle? A. Following the ‘virtues’ of struggle, endure and sacrifice. B Living in a simple way and leaving the worries behind. C. Bearing lots of hard work to improve one’s living conditions. D. Standing up and facing the reality consistently. 9. What might have caused the “lying down” lifestyle among the young? A. Improvements in living conditions. B. Growing pressure from family and social life. C. Increasing material possessions from families. D. Temporary adjustment to failure in competitions. 10. What’s the scholar’s attitude toward the “lying down” group? A. Understanding. B. Intolerant. C. Supportive. D. Unclear. 11. What can be inferred about the young generation from the text? A. They would rather escape than take challenges. B. They really enjoy the “lying down” lifestyle. C. They find their dreams far beyond their reach. D. They never really drop their responsibilities. D Digital reading appears to be destroying habits of “deep reading”. Astonishing numbers of people with years of schooling are in effect illiterate. This month’s Ljubljana Manifesto (宣言) explains: “The digital field may promote more reading than ever in history, but it also offers many temptations to read in a superficial and scattered (零散的) manner — or even not to read at all. This increasingly endangers higher-level reading.” That’s frightening, because “higher-level reading” has been essential to civilization. It enabled the enlightenment and an international increase in empathy. Without it, we would suffer a lot. As the Ljubljana Manifesto notes, “as much as one-third of Europeans struggle even with lower-level reading skills.” More than one-fifth of adults in the US “fall into the illiterate/functionally illiterate category”. Separately, post-pandemic reading scores for American 13-year-olds are the lowest in decades. And the Washington-based Center for Global Development recently estimated that literacy in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa among those with five years of schooling has decreased by 10% this past half century. Experts in the Ljubljana Manifesto record the demerits of digital reading: “Recent studies of various kinds indicate a decline of critical and conscious reading, slow reading, non-strategic reading and long-form reading.” When you read a book on paper, you can be entirely inside the experience, absorb hundreds of pages of details thoroughly and begin to capture the world’s complexity. Online, says Maryanne Wolf of UCLA, we are “skimming, scanning, scrolling”. The medium is the message: doing deep reading on your phone is as hard as playing tennis with your phone. Recently, a bright 11-year-old told me I was wasting time on books: he absorbed more information faster from Wikipedia. He had a point. But digital readers also absorb more misinformation and seldom absorb fine perspectives. In short, as professors from Northwestern University foresaw in 2005, we are returning to the days when only an elite (精英) “reading class” consumes long texts, which is worrying. 12. What can we learn about digital reading from paragraph 1? A. Digital reading has solved the problem of illiteracy. B. Digital reading has lessened the practice of deep reading. C. Digital reading has made deep reading accessible to wider readers. D. Digital reading has aroused a greater appreciation for deep reading. 13. What is the purpose of the figures used in paragraph 2? A. To display the popularity of digital reading. B. To highlight the advantages of deep reading. C. To present the unfavorable situation of literacy. D. To stress the illiterate’s lower-level reading skills. 14. What does the underlined word “demerits” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Effects. B. Depths. C. Features. D. Drawbacks. 15. What might be talked about in the following paragraph? A. Advantages of digital reading. B. Benefits of higher-level reading. C. Ways to encourage digital reading. D. Measures to practice deep reading. 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。 How to be more organized You’re in danger of missing a deadline, your important files are never where you thought they were, and it’s a lottery (彩票) whether you’ll even have clean clothes to wear tomorrow!

Although he looked no different from ordinary people, it’s difficult for him to do some delicate movements. He often lost control of his hands and dropped things on the ground. Even after a short run, he would easily get out of breath. Depression and inferiority made him almost always alone. All of these make his mother very worried. Then one spring, the boy’s mother bought some saplings (树苗) from a nearby market. She intended to plant them in the forecourt. She told her children to plant a sapling each person. The mother said to her three children, “Whose seedling grows best, I will buy him or her a favorite gift.” The boy also wanted to get his mother’s gift. But seeing his brothers and sisters carrying water to water the trees happily, anyhow, an idea hit him: he hoped the tree he planted would die soon. So watering it once or twice, he never attended to it. Several days later, when the little boy went to see his tree again, he was surprised to find it grew some fresh leaves instead of withering (枯萎), and compared with the trees of his brother and sister, his appeared greener and more vital. He wondered what on earth had happened. As expected, his mother kept her promise, bought the little boy his favorite gift and said to him, “From the tree you plant, you will become an outstanding botanist (植物学家) when you grow up.” Since then, the little boy slowly became optimistic. One day, the little boy lay on the bed but couldn’t sleep. Looking at the bright moonlight outside the window, he suddenly recalled what the bi ology teacher once said, plants generally grow at night. 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “Why not go to the forecourt and take a look at my tree?” he said to himself. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From that night on, he understood what his mother meant and decided to change himself. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 江苏省梅村高级中学空港分校2024-2025学年秋学期期中检测 高二英语 （考试时间：120分钟；试卷满分：150分） 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 注意，听力部分答题时请先将答案标在试卷上，听力部分结束前你将有两分钟的时间将答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

It is twice as tall as the Statue of Liberty in NYC. Now Charlie Barratt has achieved his dream by becoming the voice of the attraction’s lift (电梯). Charlie did a project about the tower at school, recording his own version of the lift’s existing speech. In the voice-over, Charlie welcomes visitors to the attraction. He also offers interesting facts about the tower. One of his teachers contacted Kenny Mew, the tower’s operation manager, and told him about Charlie’s love for the 518-foot (157 meter) structure. Mew told BBC Radio Lancashire, “His school reached out to me and said they had this young boy who was passionate about Blackpool Tower and had actually recorded the lift speech and I was thinking to myself: how’s he done that? I played it back and he had the speech word for word that we’d had recorded already in the lift and it just sounded amazing. And we thought we were going to give Charlie the opportunity to do it. He was absolutely brilliant. He’s done an amazing job, and we’re really proud of what he’s done.” Charlie was then invited into a professional recording studio to perform his version and his mum, Wendy, is as thrilled as he is. She told the BBC, “He adores the tower.” Wendy first took Charlie to visit the tower when he was a baby. She said he loved it “from the minute he can walk”. Now Charlie is the voice of the attraction’s lift. As well as the lift, there are plans in progress for Charlie to lend his voice to other areas in the future. 4. Why does the author mention other boys in the first paragraph? A. To imply that Blackpool Tower is better than Legos and dinosaurs. B. To highlight that Charlie Barratt has a unique passion. C. To indicate that Charlie Barratt cannot get along with other boys. D. To criticize other boys who fail to achieve their dreams. 5. What can we know about Blackpool Tower? A. It did not have a lift speech until Charlie made one. B. Its manager attempted to find a boy to record lift speech. C. It is now using Charlie’s remade recording in its lift. D. It is the highest tower in England with interesting facts. 6. Why did Charlie record the voice-over for Blackpool Tower on his own? A. His mother Wendy inspired him. B His teacher encouraged him to do so. C. He had a strong interest in Blackpool Tower. D. He decided to attract more tourists to it. 7. Which words can better describe Charlie? A. Passionate and unselfish. B. Hard-working and persuasive. C. Promising and kind. D. Enthusiastic and committed. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了英国的一个男孩非常喜欢英国的布莱克浦大厦。通过他自己的努力，他成为了该大厦的代言人。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句话“But it is Blackpool Tower in England that has captured one 6-year-old’s imagination. (但正是英国的布莱克浦大厦吸引了一个6岁孩子的想象力)”可知，有些小男孩喜欢乐高积木，有些小男孩喜欢恐龙。但和他们相比，一个六岁的小男孩Charlie Barratt喜欢的是英国的布莱克浦大厦。由此可推知，第一段提到其他的男孩们是为了突出 Charlie Barratt 有着独特的喜好。故选B。 5题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段第一句话“Charlie was then invited into a professional recording studio to perform his version and his mum, Wendy, is as thrilled as he is. (然后，查理被邀请到一家专业录音棚表演他的版本，他的妈妈温蒂和他一样激动)”最后一段“Now Charlie is the voice of the attraction’s lift. As well as the lift, there are plans in progress for Charlie to lend his voice to other areas in the future. (现在，查理是这个景点电梯的代言人。除了电梯，查理还计划在未来为其他领域发声)”可知，现在Charlie 是这个大厦的代言人，而且他在专业的录音棚录制了他自己版本的讲解。由此可推知，现在正在电梯里使用查理重新制作的录音。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段Mew所说的话“His school reached out to me and said they had this young boy who was passionate about Blackpool Tower and had actually recorded the lift speech and I was thinking to myself: how’s he done that? (他的学校联系了我，说他们有一个对布莱克浦大厦充满热情的小男孩，他实际上录制了电梯演讲，我在想：他是怎么做到的？)”可知，Charlie自己为布莱克浦大厦录制画外音是因为他对该大厦非常感兴趣。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段Mew所说的话“His school reached out to me and said they had this young boy who was passionate about Blackpool Tower and had actually recorded the lift speech and I was thinking to myself: how’s he done that? (他的学校联系了我，说他们有一个对布莱克浦大厦充满热情的小男孩，他实际上录制了电梯演讲，我在想：他是怎么做到的？)”以及全文可知，Charlie 对莱克浦大厦充满热情。因为喜爱，他为他喜欢的大厦录制了自己版本的讲解，从而成为了该大厦的代言人。由此可推知，Charlie 是一个既热情有坚定的人。故选D。 C The idea of low material desire, low consumption and refusing to work, marry and have children, concluded as a “lying down” lifestyle, recently struck a chord with many young Chinese who are eager to take pause to breathe in this fast-paced and highly-competitive society. Many millennials and generation Zs complained to the Global Times that burdens, including work stress, family disputes and financial strains, have pushed them “against the wall”. They said they hate the “involution”, joking that they would rather give up some of what they have than get trapped in an endless competition against peers. “Instead of always following the ‘virtues’ of struggle, endure and sacrifice to bear the stresses, they prefer a temporary lying down as catharsis and adjustment,” said a scholar. “It is no wonder that some young people, under the growing pressures from child-raising to paying the mortgage today, would try to live in a simple way and leave the worries behind.” Interestingly the majority of millennials and Gen Zs reached by the Global Times, who claim to be big fans of the lying down philosophy, acknowledged that they only accept a temporary lying down as a short rest. It is true that with the great improvement of living conditions, some Chinese youth have partially lost the spirit of hardship and are not willing to bear too much hard work. But in fact, lying down is not entirely comfortable. Young people who lie down always feel guilty about their constant loss of morale far beyond their reach. “Young people on campus have both aspirations and confusion about their future, but most of us have rejected setting ourselves up in chains to waste opportunities and challenges,” a postgraduate student told the Global Times. “It’s no use running away. I have to ‘stand up’ and face the reality sooner or later.” 8. Which of the following can be described as a “lying down” lifestyle? A. Following the ‘virtues’ of struggle, endure and sacrifice. B. Living in a simple way and leaving the worries behind. C. Bearing lots of hard work to improve one’s living conditions. D. Standing up and facing the reality consistently. 9. What might have caused the “lying down” lifestyle among the young? A. Improvements in living conditions. B. Growing pressure from family and social life. C. Increasing material possessions from families. D. Temporary adjustment to failure in competitions. 10. What’s the scholar’s attitude toward the “lying down” group? A. Understanding. B. Intolerant. C. Supportive. D. Unclear. 11. What can be inferred about the young generation from the text? A. They would rather escape than take challenges. B. They really enjoy the “lying down” lifestyle. C. They find their dreams far beyond their reach. D. They never really drop their responsibilities. 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。低物欲、低消费、拒绝工作、拒绝结婚、拒绝生孩子的“躺平”生活方式，最近引起了许多年轻人的共鸣，他们渴望在这个快节奏、竞争激烈的社会中停下来喘口气。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段““It is no wonder that some young people, under the growing pressures from child-raising to paying the mortgage today, would try to live in a simple way and leave the worries behind.”(“难怪现在一些年轻人在抚养孩子、还房贷等越来越大的压力下，会尽量过简单的生活，把烦恼抛在脑后”)”可推知，“生活简单，把烦恼抛在脑后”可以被描述为“躺平”的生活方式。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Many millennials and generation Zs complained to the Global Times that burdens, including work stress, family disputes and financial strains, have pushed them “against the wall”.(许多千禧一代和Z一代向《环球时报》抱怨说，包括工作压力、家庭琐事和经济压力在内的负担把他们逼到了“绝境”)”可知，来自家庭和社会生活的压力越来越大导致了年轻人“躺平”的生活方式。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段““Instead of always following the ‘virtues’ of struggle, endure and sacrifice to bear the stresses, they prefer a temporary lying down as catharsis and adjustment,” said a scholar. “It is no wonder that some young people, under the growing pressures from child-raising to paying the mortgage today, would try to live in a simple way and leave the worries behind.”(一位学者说：“他们不总是遵循斗争、忍耐和牺牲的‘美德’来承受压力，而是喜欢暂时躺下，作为宣泄和调整。难怪一些年轻人在今天从抚养孩子到支付抵押贷款的压力下，会试图以一种简单的方式生活，并把担忧抛在脑后。”)”可推知，学者对“躺平”群体的态度是理解。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“But in fact, lying down is not entirely comfortable. Young people who lie down always feel guilty about their constant loss of morale far beyond their reach.(但事实上，躺平并不完全舒服。躺平的年轻人总是为自己的士气不断丧失而感到内疚)”以及最后一段““Young people on campus have both aspirations and confusion about their future, but most of us have rejected setting ourselves up in chains to waste opportunities and challenges,” a postgraduate student told the Global Times. “It’s no use running away. I have to ‘stand up’ and face the reality sooner or later.”(一名研究生在接受《环球时报》采访时表示：“校园里的年轻人对未来既有抱负，也有困惑，但我们大多数人都不愿把自己束缚起来，浪费机会和挑战。逃跑是没有用的。我迟早要‘站起来’面对现实。”)”可推知，年轻一代从未真正放下自己的责任。故选D。 D Digital reading appears to be destroying habits of “deep reading”. Astonishing numbers of people with years of schooling are in effect illiterate. This month’s Ljubljana Manifesto (宣言) explains: “The digital field may promote more reading than ever in history, but it also offers many temptations to read in a superficial and scattered (零散的) manner — or even not to read at all. This increasingly endangers higher-level reading.” That’s frightening, because “higher-level reading” has been essential to civilization. It enabled the enlightenment and an international increase in empathy. Without it, we would suffer a lot. As the Ljubljana Manifesto notes, “as much as one-third of Europeans struggle even with lower-level reading skills.” More than one-fifth of adults in the US “fall into the illiterate/functionally illiterate category”. Separately, post-pandemic reading scores for American 13-year-olds are the lowest in decades. And the Washington-based Center for Global Development recently estimated that literacy in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa among those with five years of schooling has decreased by 10% this past half century. Experts in the Ljubljana Manifesto record the demerits of digital reading: “Recent studies of various kinds indicate a decline of critical and conscious reading, slow reading, non-strategic reading and long-form reading.” When you read a book on paper, you can be entirely inside the experience, absorb hundreds of pages of details thoroughly and begin to capture the world’s complexity. Online, says Maryanne Wolf of UCLA, we are “skimming, scanning, scrolling”. The medium is the message: doing deep reading on your phone is as hard as playing tennis with your phone. Recently, a bright 11-year-old told me I was wasting time on books: he absorbed more information faster from Wikipedia. He had a point. But digital readers also absorb more misinformation and seldom absorb fine perspectives. In short, as professors from Northwestern University foresaw in 2005, we are returning to the days when only an elite (精英) “reading class” consumes long texts, which is worrying. 12. What can we learn about digital reading from paragraph 1? A. Digital reading has solved the problem of illiteracy. B. Digital reading has lessened the practice of deep reading. C. Digital reading has made deep reading accessible to wider readers. D. Digital reading has aroused a greater appreciation for deep reading. 13. What is the purpose of the figures used in paragraph 2? A. To display the popularity of digital reading. B. To highlight the advantages of deep reading. C. To present the unfavorable situation of literacy. D. To stress the illiterate’s lower-level reading skills. 14. What does the underlined word “demerits” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Effects. B. Depths. C. Features. D. Drawbacks. 15. What might be talked about in the following paragraph? A. Advantages of digital reading. B. Benefits of higher-level reading. C. Ways to encourage digital reading. D. Measures to practice deep reading. 【答案】12 B 13. C 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了数字阅读对深度阅读习惯的破坏性影响，以及深度阅读在文明和人类发展中的重要性。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Digital reading appears to be destroying habits of “deep reading”. (数字阅读似乎正在破坏“深度阅读”的习惯。)”和“The digital field may promote more reading than ever in history, but it also offers many temptations to read in a superficial and scattered (零散的) manner — or even not to read at all. This increasingly endangers higher-level reading.(数字领域可能比历史上任何时候都促进了更多的阅读，但它也提供了许多诱惑，以肤浅和分散的方式阅读——甚至根本不阅读。这越来越危及更高水平的阅读。)”可知，数字阅读削弱了深度阅读的实践。故选B项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“As the Ljubljana Manifesto notes, “as much as one-third of Europeans struggle even with lower-level reading skills.” More than one-fifth of adults in the US “fall into the illiterate/functionally illiterate category”. Separately, post-pandemic reading scores for American 13-year-olds are the lowest in decades. And the Washington-based Center for Global Development recently estimated that literacy in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa among those with five years of schooling has decreased by 10% this past half century. (正如《卢布尔雅那宣言》所指出的，“多达三分之一的欧洲人甚至在较低水平的阅读技能上挣扎。”超过五分之一的美国成年人“属于文盲/功能性文盲”。另外，大流行后美国13岁儿童的阅读分数是几十年来最低的。总部位于华盛顿的全球发展中心(Center for Global Development)最近估计，在过去的半个世纪里，南亚和撒哈拉以南非洲地区接受过5年教育的儿童的识字率下降了10%。)”可知，这些数字展示了目前读写能力的状况不容乐观。故选C项。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“Experts in the Ljubljana Manifesto record the demerits of digital reading: “Recent studies of various kinds indicate a decline of critical and conscious reading, slow reading, non-strategic reading and long-form reading.” (《卢布尔雅那宣言》的专家们记录了数字阅读的demerits：“最近各种各样的研究表明，批判性阅读、有意识阅读、慢读、非战略性阅读和长篇阅读的数量正在下降。”)”中“a decline of critical and conscious reading, slow reading, non-strategic reading and long-form reading”可知，这些都是数字阅读盛行带来的问题和弊端，所以划线词demerits与drawbacks同义，意为“缺点，弊端 ”。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In short, as professors from Northwestern University foresaw in 2005, we are returning to the days when only an elite (精英) “reading class” consumes long texts, which is worrying. (简而言之，正如西北大学的教授们在2005年所预见的那样，我们正在回到只有精英“阅读阶层”才会阅读长文本的时代，这令人担忧。)”可知，文章最后表达了作者对现状的担忧，害怕我们会回到只有精英“阅读阶层”才会阅读长文本的时代。由此推知，作者接下来可能会就如何练习深度阅读给出具体的建议。故选D项。 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to be more organized You’re in danger of missing a deadline, your important files are never where you thought they were, and it’s a lottery (彩票) whether you’ll even have clean clothes to wear tomorrow!

He always considered himself the most unfortunate person in the world. Although he looked no different from ordinary people, it’s difficult for him to do some delicate movements. He often lost control of his hands and dropped things on the ground. Even after a short run, he would easily get out of breath. Depression and inferiority made him almost always alone. All of these make his mother very worried. Then one spring, the boy’s mother bought some saplings (树苗) from a nearby market. She intended to plant them in the forecourt. She told her children to plant a sapling each person. The mother said to her three children, “Whose seedling grows best, I will buy him or her a favorite gift.” The boy also wanted to get his mother’s gift. But seeing his brothers and sisters carrying water to water the trees happily, anyhow, an idea hit him: he hoped the tree he planted would die soon. So watering it once or twice, he never attended to it. Several days later, when the little boy went to see his tree again, he was surprised to find it grew some fresh leaves instead of withering (枯萎), and compared with the trees of his brother and sister, his appeared greener and more vital. He wondered what on earth had happened. As expected, his mother kept her promise, bought the little boy his favorite gift and said to him, “From the tree you plant, you will become an outstanding botanist (植物学家) when you grow up.” Since then, the little boy slowly became optimistic. One day, the little boy lay on the bed but couldn’t sleep. Looking at the bright moonlight outside the window, he suddenly recalled what the bi ology teacher once said, plants generally grow at night. 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “Why not go to the forecourt and take a look at my tree?” he said to himself. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From that night on, he understood what his mother meant and decided to change himself. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： “Why not go to the forecourt and take a look at my tree?” he said to himself. Then he got out of the bed and came to the courtyard on tiptoe. Before he approached the tree he planted, he found his mother was watering it carefully. All of a sudden, he understood it was his mother who had been secretly fertilizing and watering his small tree! The tree would have withered but for the care of his mother. Standing in the darkness, deeply touched, how he wanted to say thanks to his mother. But he didn’t. From that night on, he understood what his mother meant and decided to change himself. When he was in trouble and wanted to give up sometimes, mother’s small figure that night always lingered in his mind. Being strong and confident, he overcame all the difficulties he was faced with. Decades passed. The little boy became a botanist, who was confident and optimistic. Love is the best gift for growth. With the gift, a thin tree can flourish and even grow into towering trees. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了有一个小男孩患有先天性肌肉疾病，他总是认为自己是世界上最不幸的人。某一个春天，男孩的母亲从附近的市场买了一些树苗，她告诉孩子们每人种一棵树苗。母亲对她的三个孩子说:“谁的幼苗长得最好，我就给他或她买一份最喜欢的礼物。”但是男孩却希望自己的树苗死去，于是没有管树苗，结果却发现树苗长得很好，某天晚上男孩到院子里才发现，是母亲一直在给树苗浇水，男孩很感动，于是从此变得自信乐观。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“‘为什么不去前院看看我的树呢？’他自言自语道”可知，第一段可描写男孩去院子里看自己的树苗，结果发现是母亲在给树苗浇水。 ②由第二段首句内容“从那天晚上起，他明白了母亲的意思，并决定改变自己。”可知，第二段可描写男孩被母亲感动，从此变得乐观，不怕困难。 2.续写线索：看树苗——发现母亲浇水——男孩感动——决定改变——变得自信乐观——男孩成为植物学家 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①靠近：approach/get close to ②放弃：give up/quit ③决定：decide/determine 情绪类 ①乐观的：optimistic/positive ②感动：touch/move 【点睛】[高分句型1] Before he approached the tree he planted, he found his mother was watering it carefully.
