He was good at music, poetry, writing and especially painting. Huang was born in 1269 in Jiangsu Province of China. He lost his parents at a very young age and grew up poor until a man from Zhejiang Province adopted him. The kind man was impressed by the boy’s talent. Later Huang began to learn painting under the guidance of Zhao Mengfu. Between the ages of 50 and 62, Huang often travelled in nature. During the long-term travelling, he developed an interest in rivers and mountains. When living in Songjiang, Huang often observed and appreciated the fantastic scenery there. Sometimes he sat in the mountains all day, even forgetting to eat and have a rest. While enjoying the beauty of nature wholeheartedly, he got lots of good ideas about what to paint. Huang drew lots of paintings during his life. But most of them have gone missing over the centuries. Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains is one of the few surviving works and it is considered to be among his greatest works. It describes the autumn scenery along Fuchun River in southern China with ink (墨) and wash. When creating this piece of painting, Huang often paid a visit to Fuchun River. It was after years of efforts that Huang finished painting Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains. Unluckily, this painting was later burnt into two pieces. Now, the two pieces are carefully kept in two different museums. During Huang’s life, he made great achievements in painting. He avoided some old ways that artists painted rivers and mountains. And he believed that one should only paint when inspired. Due to his great ability in art, Huang was considered one of the Four Great Masters of the Yuan. The others in the group included Ni Zan, Wu Zhen and Wang Meng. These four great masters together changed the face of Chinese paintings, bringing a long-lasting influence on Chinese art. 4. What can be inferred about Huang Gongwang from Paragraph 3? A. He had an unhealthy eating habit. B. He tried to stay away from social life. C. He drew creative inspiration from nature. D. He disliked travelling when he was young. 5. What do we know about Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains? A. It had been lost in history. B. It’s a painting created by two painters. C. It describes the beauty of the four seasons. D. It’s a valuable work that once suffered damage. 6. Which of the following can best describe Huang Gongwang according to the text? A. Humorous and determined. B. Hardworking and creative. C. Generous and outgoing. D. Brave and clever. 7. In which section of a magazine may we read the text? A. History and art. B. Travel and lifestyle. C. Science and culture. D. Nature and environment. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国元代著名的画家黄公望的个人经历以及成就。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“While enjoying the beauty of nature wholeheartedly, he got lots of good ideas about what to paint.(在全心全意地欣赏大自然之美的同时，他对画什么有了很多好主意)”可推知，黄公望从自然中获得了创作灵感。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains is one of the few surviving works and it is considered to be among his greatest works. It describes the autumn scenery along Fuchun River in southern China with ink (墨) and wash. When creating this piece of painting, Huang often paid a visit to Fuchun River. It was after years of efforts that Huang finished painting Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains. Unluckily, this painting was later burnt into two pieces.(《富春山居图》是为数不多的现存作品之一，被认为是他最伟大的作品之一。它用水墨描绘了中国南方富春江沿岸的秋景。在创作这幅画时，黄经常参观富春江。经过多年的努力，黄完成了《富春山居图》。不幸的是，这幅画后来被烧成了两半)”可知，《富春山居图》描绘了中国南方富春江沿岸的秋景，是黄公望最伟大的作品之一，很有价值的，曾遭遇损坏。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Huang drew lots of paintings during his life.(黄一生画了很多画)”、“When creating this piece of painting, Huang often paid a visit to Fuchun River. It was after years of efforts that Huang finished painting Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains.(在创作这幅画时，他经常去富春江。经过多年的努力，他完成了《富春山居图》)”以及最后一段的“He avoided some old ways that artists painted rivers and mountains. And he believed that one should only paint when inspired.(他避开了艺术家画河流和山脉的一些旧方法。他认为，一个人只有在受到启发时才能画画)”可知，《富春山居图》是黄公望经过多年的努力所完成的，他画了很多画，并且在创作中不沿用旧的方法。由此可推知，他是一个勤奋且有创造力的人。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Huang Gongwang was a famous Chinese artist in the Yuan Dynasty. He was good at music, poetry, writing and especially painting.(黄公望是中国元代著名的艺术家。他擅长音乐、诗歌、写作，尤其是绘画)”可知，文章讲述了著名元代画家黄公望的生平及其对中国艺术的影响，由此可推知，我们可以在杂志的历史与艺术版面读到这篇文章。故选A。 C Waves of innovation often create giants. Artificial intelligence (AI) may well be the next big technological shift, transforming the way of businesses. Firms selling the software and hardware that support AI will gain a lot of profit. But none is better positioned than Nvidia, an American firm that makes specialist AI chips. Its market value briefly passed $1,000 billion this week. Will Nvidia always be a tech-giant in this field? The hype (炒作) around AI makes the question hard to answer. Excitement about Nvidia began to mount in November, after the release of ChatGPT, an AI-powered chatbot. Since then many kinds of firms have launched AI products. Nvidia is in an enviable (令人羡慕的) position. Its core business is designing high-performance chips. At first it sold these to video-game lovers. The chips were also highly efficient at training AI models, and a new, booming market emerged. Nvidia also had the forethought to invest in two areas that helped strengthen its dominance (支配地位). One is advanced networking. Because training AI models requires vast amounts of processing power, many chips — sometimes thousands — are used at the same time. These chips exchange data along a high-performance, AI-tailored network. Nvidia’s other strength is its software. CUDA, its AI platform, is popular with programmers and runs only on the company’s chips. For instance, by giving free access to its chips and software to some AI researchers, the firm focused on encouraging developers to use its software long before its competitors set out to woo them. Despite all these advantages, however, Nvidia’s lasting dominance is not assured. New companies and big chipmakers want a share of Nvidia’s network and chip businesses. The biggest challenge, though, may come from Nvidia’s own customers. The cloud-computing arms of both Amazon and Alphabet are designing their own AI-tailored chips. Both have the potential to become fearsome competitors. 8. Which of the following makes Nvidia enviable according to the passage? A. The hype around artificial intelligence. B. The release of ChatGPT. C. The availability of its chips. D. The high performance of its chips. 9. What does the underlined word “woo” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Hunt for. B. Attend to. C. Approve of. D. Guard against. 10. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Nvidia will lose its dominance definitely. B. Nvidia should further improve its chips. C. Alphabet has weakened Nvidia’s market. D. Amazon will defeat Nvidia soon. 11. What does the author think of Nvidia’s dominance in the future? A. Unchallengeable. B. Uncertain. C. Predictable. D. Assured. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了英伟达芯片的高性能令人羡慕，然而许多公司都推出了人工智能产品，让其领导地位受到了挑战。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“But none is better positioned than Nvidia, an American firm that makes specialist AI chips.(但没有哪家公司比生产专业人工智能芯片的美国公司英伟达更有优势)”以及第三段“Nvidia is in an enviable (令人羡慕的) position.(英伟达处于一个令人羡慕的位置)”可知，芯片的高性能让英伟达令人羡慕。故选D。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“by giving free access to its chips and software to some AI researchers, the firm focused on encouraging developers to use its software long before its competitors set out to(通过向一些人工智能研究人员免费提供其芯片和软件，该公司专注于鼓励开发人员使用其软件，早在竞争对手开始之前……)”可知，英伟达通过向一些人工智能研究人员免费提供其芯片和软件，该公司早在竞争对手开始寻找到这些人员之前就专注于鼓励开发人员使用其软件。故划线词意思是“寻找”。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The biggest challenge, though, may come from Nvidia’s own customers. The cloud-computing arms of both Amazon and Alphabet are designing their own AI-tailored chips. Both have the potential to become fearsome competitors.(不过，最大的挑战可能来自英伟达自己的客户。亚马逊和Alphabet的云计算部门都在设计自己的人工智能定制芯片。两者都有可能成为令人生畏的竞争对手)”可知，英伟达应该进一步改进它的芯片。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Despite all these advantages, however, Nvidia’s lasting dominance is not assured.(然而，尽管有这些优势，英伟达的长期统治地位仍不确定)”可知，英伟达在未来的主导地位是不确定的。故选B。 D “Tie an Italian’s hands behind his back,” runs an old joke, “and he’ll be speechless.” This rests on a national stereotype: Italians are talkative and emotional, and all that arm-waggling supposedly goes to prove it. Susan Meadow of the University of Chicago has a rather different view. Emotions come out in lots of ways: facial expressions, posture, tone of voice and so on. But people are doing something different when they use gestures with speech, which she sums up in the title of her new book, “Thinking with Your Hands”. It is a masterly tour through a lifetime’s research. Virtually everyone gestures, not just Italians. Experimental subjects, told after a research session that they were being watched for gestures, apologize for not having made any — but were doing so the entire time. People born blind gesture when they speak, including to each other. A woman born without arms but with “phantom limb syndrome (幻肢综合征)” describes how she uses her phantom arms when she talks — but not when she walks. All this suggests that cognition (认知) is, to some extent, “embodied”; thinking is not all done in your head. In fact, gestures that accompany speech are a second channel of information. Subjects watch a film in which a cat runs but are told to lie and say it jumped. They do so in words — while their hands make a running motion. People who say they believe in sexual equality but gesture with their hands lower when talking about women are not indicating women’s height; they can be shown to have biases (偏见) of which they may be unaware. In “The Crown”, a historical drama series, Lady Diana is warned that her hands may betray her real emotions, which could be dangerous; they are tied together so she can learn to speak without gesticulating. No one who reads Susan’s book could ever again think that gesturing shows only a lack of control. It is about thinking and communication, and is a complex aid to both. 12. Why does the author mention the old joke in Paragraph 1? A. To present an argument. B. To describe a scene. C. To lead in the topic. D. To clarify a doubt. 13. Which statement will Susan Meadow probably agree with? A. The disabled seldom use gestures. B. Gestures literally embody cognition. C. Thinking only occurs in the brain. D. Gestures are improper in communication. 14. What does the author try to prove in the last two paragraphs? A. Gestures may express what the speaker really thinks. B. People are unaware of the meanings of their gestures. C. Gesturing during speech shows only a lack of control. D. Speakers can lie more easily with the help of gestures. 15. Which of the following is the best summary of the text? A. Speech is a direct channel of information. B. Gestures make a vital form of communication. C. Italian’s body language represents a national stereotype. D. “Thinking with Your Hands” is a lifetime’s research for Susan Meadow. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了手势在交流和思考中的重要性，打破了只有意大利人才手势丰富的刻板印象，并通过实验和研究证明了手势是信息的第二渠道，能够真实反映人们的认知和想法。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“‘Tie an Italian’s hands behind his back,’ runs an old joke, ‘and he’ll be speechless.’ This rests on a national stereotype: Italians are talkative and emotional, and all that arm-waggling supposedly goes to prove it.(“把意大利人的手绑在背后，”一个老笑话说道，“他就会说不出话来。”这是基于一种国家刻板印象：意大利人健谈且情绪化，所有那些挥舞手臂的动作据说都证明了这一点)”可知，作者在第一段提到这个老笑话是为了引出关于意大利人手势丰富、健谈且情绪化的刻板印象，进而引出下文对于手势在交流和思考中作用的探讨。因此，作者提到这个老笑话是为了引入话题。故选C项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Susan Meadow of the University of Chicago has a rather different view. Emotions come out in lots of ways: facial expressions, posture, tone of voice and so on. But people are doing something different when they use gestures with speech, which she sums up in the title of her new book, “Thinking with Your Hands”.(芝加哥大学的Susan Meadow有不同的看法，情绪以多种方式表现出来：面部表情、姿势、语调等等。但当人们用手势配合言语时，他们就在做不同的事情了。她在她的新书《用手思考》的标题中总结了这一点)”和第三段中“All this suggests that cognition (认知) is, to some extent, ‘embodied’; thinking is not all done in your head.(所有这些都表明，认知在某种程度上是‘具身的’；思考并不完全是在你的头脑中进行的)”可知，Susan Meadow认为人们在使用手势与语言时实际上在做一些不同的事情，并强调手势是思考和交流的一部分，思考并不完全是在头脑中进行，人们用手势配合言语时是在“用手思考”，因此，她可能会同意“手势实际上体现了认知”这一说法。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“In fact, gestures that accompany speech are a second channel of information.(事实上，伴随言语的手势是信息的第二渠道)”和“People who say they believe in sexual equality but gesture with their hands lower when talking about women are not indicating women’s height; they can be shown to have biases (偏见) of which they may be unaware.(那些说他们相信性别平等但在谈论女性时手势较低的人，其实并不是在指示女性的身高；这表明他们可能有自己未曾意识到的偏见)”；最后一段中“In ‘The Crown’, a historical drama series, Lady Diana is warned that her hands may betray her real emotions, which could be dangerous; they are tied together so she can learn to speak without gesticulating.(在历史剧《王冠》中，戴安娜王妃被警告说，她的手可能会泄露她的真实情感，这可能是危险的；它们被绑在一起，这样她就可以学习不用手势说话了)”可知，作者通过举例说明了手势能够真实反映人们的想法和偏见，即使人们口头上说的和内心想的不一致。因此，作者在最后两段试图证明手势可能表达出说话者真正的想法。故选A项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，尤其结合第四段中“In fact, gestures that accompany speech are a second channel of information.(事实上，伴随言语的手势是信息的第二渠道)”和最后一段中“No one who reads Susan’s book could ever again think that gesturing shows only a lack of control. It is about thinking and communication, and is a complex aid to both.(读过苏珊这本书的人再也不会认为手势只是缺乏控制的表现。它是关于思考和交流的，是对两者的复杂辅助)”可知，文章主要讲述了手势在交流和思考中的重要性，打破了关于手势的刻板印象，并通过实验和研究证明了手势是信息的第二渠道，能够真实反映人们的认知和想法。因此，“手势是交流的一种重要形式”是文章内容的最佳概括。故选B项。 第二节 （共5小题; 每小题2.5分,满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 City parks and open space improve our physical and mental health, strengthen our communities, and make our cities and neighbourhoods more attractive places to live and work.___16___ ___17___ In Boulder, Colorado, a greenbelt added $5.4 million to the total property values of one neighbourhood.

You probably know the entire play off by heart. You are the best person for Cinderella.” he encouraged. I knew he was joking, but the truth was, I could tell you every single line (台词) in the play. When we reached the hall on Thursday, I began to wish I hadn’t signed up to be Cinderella. It was easier to feel hopeful several days ago when my name was the only one on the sign-up sheet. Since then, seven other girls have added their own names to the list, including Sherry Anderson, the head cheerleader (拉拉队长). Luckily, we were given a moment to practice before the auditions began. “Good,” Mr Cordoza said approvingly as he stopped by and listened to my practice. I felt a glimmer of hope. “Now let’s see how you get on performing on the stage in front of everyone.” He clapped his hands for attention, signaling the start of the auditions. Sherry Anderson was up first. She showed great confidence as she tossed her long blonde hair and recited her lines. Although she lacked an understanding of the lines, her performance was attractive. Then it was my turn. As I climbed the stairs to the stage, I tripped, nearly falling flat on my face. I felt my cheeks burning. “When you’re ready,” Mr Cordoza said, sounding impatient. “Sorry,” I mumbled. I tried to calm my breathing, but the nerves tightened in my throat. “I...I…” I stuttered. ‘Speak up Amy, can’t hear you!’ jeers and whistles came from the back of the hall. I could feel that my performance was a disaster. Even Sherry’s lines were better than mine. Finally, I limped to the end of the scene, and as soon as it was over, I rushed off the stage, feeling defeated. As I made my way through the hallway, I spotted Artie waiting for me. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150左右； （2）请按如下格式作答。 He told me that Sherry got the role of Cinderella but I would be the understudy (替角). ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the day of the performance, Sherry got sick and couldn’t come. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】He told me that Sherry got the role of Cinderella but I would be the understudy (替角). At the news, I sighed and forced a smile. Sensing my disappointment, Artie put his hand on my shoulder and encouraged, “Seize the chance and you can shine too. Believe in yourself!” His words giving me a burst of confidence, I nodded admittedly, determined to be the best understudy. In the following days, I spent hours every day rehearsing my lines, perfecting my expressions and practicing each act. Gradually, I grew more confident and was fully prepared for the possibility of stepping onto the stage if needed. On the day of the performance, Sherry got sick and couldn’t come. Panic filled the air backstage. Calm outside but nervous inside, I took a deep breath and stepped forward. All those days of hard work and preparation had led to this moment. As the curtains rose, I walked onto the stage with a newfound courage. The lights shone on me, and I delivered my lines with full of passion and confidence. With the music fading away, the audience broke into thunderous applause. At that very moment, I knew I fulfilled my mission as an understudy. That day, I became the star of the show, proving to myself and everyone that chances are for those who are prepared. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了主人公艾米在朋友的鼓励下参加学校话剧《灰姑娘》试镜的经历。尽管艾米对台词非常熟悉，但在试镜当天，她感到非常紧张，甚至在上台时差点摔倒，表演时结结巴巴，感觉自己的表现非常糟糕。文章通过艾米的试镜经历，展现了她在面对挑战时的内心挣扎和不安，以及她最终未能克服紧张情绪，感到失落和挫败的心情。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“他告诉我Sherry得到了灰姑娘的角色，但我会是替补演员。”可知，第一段可描写Amy在Artie的鼓励下，努力练习，尽管是替补演员也努力做好表演的准备的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“演出的那天，Sherry生病了，不能来。”可知，第二段可描写Amy顺利完成表演的过程以及感悟。 2.续写线索：感到失望——Artie鼓励——努力排练——表演成功——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 决心做某事：be determined to do sth/make up one’s mind to do sth 为……做准备：be prepared for/get ready for 鼓励：encourage/inspire 情绪类 紧张的：nervous/tense 失望：disappointment/despair 【点睛】[高分句型1]Gradually, I grew more confident and was fully prepared for the possibility of stepping onto the stage if needed.（运用了状语从句的省略） [高分句型2]That day, I became the star of the show, proving to myself and everyone that chances are for those who are prepared.（运用了现在分词作状语，that引导宾语从句，who引导定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 马关县第一中学2024年秋季学期高二年级第二次月考试卷 英语 注意事项： 1. 答题前，考生务必用黑色碳素笔将自己的姓名、准考证号、考场号、座位号在答题卡上填写清楚。 2. 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。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。在试题卷上作答无效。 3. 考试结束后，请将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。满分150分, 考试用时120分钟。 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 （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.

Huang was born in 1269 in Jiangsu Province of China. He lost his parents at a very young age and grew up poor until a man from Zhejiang Province adopted him. The kind man was impressed by the boy’s talent. Later Huang began to learn painting under the guidance of Zhao Mengfu. Between the ages of 50 and 62, Huang often travelled in nature. During the long-term travelling, he developed an interest in rivers and mountains. When living in Songjiang, Huang often observed and appreciated the fantastic scenery there. Sometimes he sat in the mountains all day, even forgetting to eat and have a rest. While enjoying the beauty of nature wholeheartedly, he got lots of good ideas about what to paint. Huang drew lots of paintings during his life. But most of them have gone missing over the centuries. Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains is one of the few surviving works and it is considered to be among his greatest works. It describes the autumn scenery along Fuchun River in southern China with ink (墨) and wash. When creating this piece of painting, Huang often paid a visit to Fuchun River. It was after years of efforts that Huang finished painting Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains. Unluckily, this painting was later burnt into two pieces. Now, the two pieces are carefully kept in two different museums. During Huang’s life, he made great achievements in painting. He avoided some old ways that artists painted rivers and mountains. And he believed that one should only paint when inspired. Due to his great ability in art, Huang was considered one of the Four Great Masters of the Yuan. The others in the group included Ni Zan, Wu Zhen and Wang Meng. These four great masters together changed the face of Chinese paintings, bringing a long-lasting influence on Chinese art. 4. What can be inferred about Huang Gongwang from Paragraph 3? A. He had an unhealthy eating habit. B. He tried to stay away from social life. C. He drew creative inspiration from nature. D. He disliked travelling when he was young. 5. What do we know about Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains? A. It had been lost in history. B. It’s a painting created by two painters. C. It describes the beauty of the four seasons. D. It’s a valuable work that once suffered damage. 6. Which of the following can best describe Huang Gongwang according to the text? A. Humorous and determined. B. Hardworking and creative. C. Generous and outgoing. D. Brave and clever. 7. In which section of a magazine may we read the text? A. History and art. B. Travel and lifestyle. C. Science and culture. D. Nature and environment. C Waves of innovation often create giants. Artificial intelligence (AI) may well be the next big technological shift, transforming the way of businesses. Firms selling the software and hardware that support AI will gain a lot of profit. But none is better positioned than Nvidia, an American firm that makes specialist AI chips. Its market value briefly passed $1,000 billion this week. Will Nvidia always be a tech-giant in this field? The hype (炒作) around AI makes the question hard to answer. Excitement about Nvidia began to mount in November, after the release of ChatGPT, an AI-powered chatbot. Since then many kinds of firms have launched AI products. Nvidia is in an enviable (令人羡慕的) position. Its core business is designing high-performance chips. At first it sold these to video-game lovers. The chips were also highly efficient at training AI models, and a new, booming market emerged. Nvidia also had the forethought to invest in two areas that helped strengthen its dominance (支配地位). One is advanced networking. Because training AI models requires vast amounts of processing power, many chips — sometimes thousands — are used at the same time. These chips exchange data along a high-performance, AI-tailored network. Nvidia’s other strength is its software. CUDA, its AI platform, is popular with programmers and runs only on the company’s chips. For instance, by giving free access to its chips and software to some AI researchers, the firm focused on encouraging developers to use its software long before its competitors set out to woo them. Despite all these advantages, however, Nvidia’s lasting dominance is not assured. New companies and big chipmakers want a share of Nvidia’s network and chip businesses. The biggest challenge, though, may come from Nvidia’s own customers. The cloud-computing arms of both Amazon and Alphabet are designing their own AI-tailored chips. Both have the potential to become fearsome competitors. 8. Which of the following makes Nvidia enviable according to the passage? A. The hype around artificial intelligence. B. The release of ChatGPT. C. The availability of its chips. D. The high performance of its chips. 9. What does the underlined word “woo” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Hunt for. B. Attend to. C. Approve of. D. Guard against. 10. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Nvidia will lose its dominance definitely. B. Nvidia should further improve its chips. C. Alphabet has weakened Nvidia’s market. D. Amazon will defeat Nvidia soon. 11. What does the author think of Nvidia’s dominance in the future? A. Unchallengeable. B. Uncertain. C. Predictable. D. Assured. D “Tie an Italian’s hands behind his back,” runs an old joke, “and he’ll be speechless.” This rests on a national stereotype: Italians are talkative and emotional, and all that arm-waggling supposedly goes to prove it. Susan Meadow of the University of Chicago has a rather different view. Emotions come out in lots of ways: facial expressions, posture, tone of voice and so on. But people are doing something different when they use gestures with speech, which she sums up in the title of her new book, “Thinking with Your Hands”. It is a masterly tour through a lifetime’s research. Virtually everyone gestures, not just Italians. Experimental subjects, told after a research session that they were being watched for gestures, apologize for not having made any — but were doing so the entire time. People born blind gesture when they speak, including to each other. A woman born without arms but with “phantom limb syndrome (幻肢综合征)” describes how she uses her phantom arms when she talks — but not when she walks. All this suggests that cognition (认知) is, to some extent, “embodied”; thinking is not all done in your head. In fact, gestures that accompany speech are a second channel of information. Subjects watch a film in which a cat runs but are told to lie and say it jumped. They do so in words — while their hands make a running motion. People who say they believe in sexual equality but gesture with their hands lower when talking about women are not indicating women’s height; they can be shown to have biases (偏见) of which they may be unaware. In “The Crown”, a historical drama series, Lady Diana is warned that her hands may betray her real emotions, which could be dangerous; they are tied together so she can learn to speak without gesticulating. No one who reads Susan’s book could ever again think that gesturing shows only a lack of control. It is about thinking and communication, and is a complex aid to both. 12. Why does the author mention the old joke in Paragraph 1? A. To present an argument. B. To describe a scene. C. To lead in the topic. D. To clarify a doubt. 13. Which statement will Susan Meadow probably agree with? A. The disabled seldom use gestures. B. Gestures literally embody cognition. C. Thinking only occurs in the brain. D. Gestures are improper in communication. 14. What does the author try to prove in the last two paragraphs? A. Gestures may express what the speaker really thinks. B. People are unaware of the meanings of their gestures. C. Gesturing during speech shows only a lack of control. D. Speakers can lie more easily with the help of gestures. 15. Which of the following is the best summary of the text? A. Speech is a direct channel of information. B. Gestures make a vital form of communication. C. Italian’s body language represents a national stereotype. D. “Thinking with Your Hands” is a lifetime’s research for Susan Meadow. 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。 City parks and open space improve our physical and mental health, strengthen our communities, and make our cities and neighbourhoods more attractive places to live and work.___16___ ___17___ In Boulder, Colorado, a greenbelt added $5.4 million to the total property values of one neighbourhood.

You probably know the entire play off by heart. You are the best person for Cinderella.” he encouraged. I knew he was joking, but the truth was, I could tell you every single line (台词) in the play. When we reached the hall on Thursday, I began to wish I hadn’t signed up to be Cinderella. It was easier to feel hopeful several days ago when my name was the only one on the sign-up sheet. Since then, seven other girls have added their own names to the list, including Sherry Anderson, the head cheerleader (拉拉队长). Luckily, we were given a moment to practice before the auditions began. “Good,” Mr Cordoza said approvingly as he stopped by and listened to my practice. I felt a glimmer of hope. “Now let’s see how you get on performing on the stage in front of everyone.” He clapped his hands for attention, signaling the start of the auditions. Sherry Anderson was up first. She showed great confidence as she tossed her long blonde hair and recited her lines. Although she lacked an understanding of the lines, her performance was attractive. Then it was my turn. As I climbed the stairs to the stage, I tripped, nearly falling flat on my face. I felt my cheeks burning. “When you’re ready,” Mr Cordoza said, sounding impatient. “Sorry,” I mumbled. I tried to calm my breathing, but the nerves tightened in my throat. “I...I…” I stuttered. ‘Speak up Amy, can’t hear you!’ jeers and whistles came from the back of the hall. I could feel that my performance was a disaster. Even Sherry’s lines were better than mine. Finally, I limped to the end of the scene, and as soon as it was over, I rushed off the stage, feeling defeated. As I made my way through the hallway, I spotted Artie waiting for me. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150左右； （2）请按如下格式作答。 He told me that Sherry got the role of Cinderella but I would be the understudy (替角). ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the day of the performance, Sherry got sick and couldn’t come. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
