For Bridgette Ponson, one of those moments took place in the parking lot at her workplace, Layton Christian Academy. While she was in the parking lot, her 2-year-old boy and 3-year-old girl in tow, a car hit them. This left the mother and her kids trapped beneath the car. Thankfully, the woman driver wasn’t driving very fast. At that moment, she was blinded by the sun. However, she got out of the car to help as soon as possible. Plus, she wasn’t the only one who stopped what they were doing to save Bridgette and her kids. Soon, Chris Crowder, CEO of the school, became aware of the accident. Without delay, he united a group of students to help. “It was split second,” Chris recalled. “I immediately just ran into the building because I knew I had to get a lot of people to lift this car. The students just heard me shout. All students from different countries just ran out and lifted it up.” Still, this wasn’t an easy task. The car was heavy. But the whole group of students worked together to lift the car enough for Bridgette and her kids to get free. Finally, one kid was flown to Primary Children’s Hospital while Bridgette and the other kid were taken by ambulance to the hospital. Although Bridgette took the brunt of the injuries, all three of them were expected to make complete recoveries within a few days. The heroic students who helped out certainly got their well-deserved praise. “I’m very proud of our kids. They ran out without hesitation, and they just knew what to do without even being told what to do. I’m even surprised by the driver who was behind the wheel. She immediately ran to help,” said Chris. 24. Which of the following caused the accident in the parking lot? A. The car was speeding. B. The driver was trapped in the car. C. Bridgette ignored the surroundings. D. The sunlight blocked the driver’s sight. 25. Why were the students gathered quickly by Chris? A. To meet foreign students. B. To avoid the car accident. C. To provide emergency aid. D. To lift the kids out of the car. 26. What can we conclude from paragraph 3? A. Many hands make light work. B. The hospital is no place to be sick. C. Injuries may be forgiven, but not forgotten. D. Praise makes good men better and bad men worse. 27. What did Chris think of the action to help? A. Passive. B. Hesitant. C. Timely. D. Expected. C In the past, music recording was primitive. A recording engineer placed microphones in front of instruments. The producer pressed record and signaled the band to play. There was a human touch to recordings, and this way of recording gave rock music its raw edge. But here we are today. Complex and advanced audio software sits in every recording studio. The higher cost and greater practicality make creating digital music common. However, the modern recordings aren’t beneficial to a rock record. Let’s not forget, being in a band is laborious. You need like-minded musicians to rehearse for hours on end. Nowadays, this isn’t a necessity. Programming drums on a computer is as simple as filling cells on a spreadsheet, and there you have it, a drumbeat. Only a few professionals are aware that they aren’t listening to true live drums. Such tech is even accessible on your smartphone. Whether on a train or in a bedroom, you can create a full band track without a live band. What happened to rock music? With pop and hip hop dominating the charts, it feels like the time for bands is over. Is rock music really dying out? Is it really on its last legs, or are we just not trying hard enough? Artists, inspired by the great rock bands, seek to put their own spin on this classic genre. The spirit of rock music still remains. One singer mixed soul and rock while one band combined indie rock with elements of techno, both with underlying rock characteristics. The truth is that fresh rock bands are out there and you just need to dig deeper. A search through online music blogs shows a growing number of new rock bands. While rock bands are now not as popular as before and not receiving mainstream exposure, the flame still burns brightly. 28. Which words can best describe the past music recording? A. Underdeveloped and low-cost. B. Easy and time-saving. C. Demanding and complex. D. Digital and creative. 29. What makes programming drums easy in modern recording process? A Low demands for music. B. Advanced audio software. C. Deep understanding of music. D. Help from professional musicians. 30. Why are one singer and one band mentioned in paragraph 5? A. To tell rock music has lost its original attraction. B. To show rock music may be presented in new styles. C. To stress rock music is no longer mainstream music. D. To compare rock music with some other kinds of music. 31. What can be the best title for the text? A. Is Rock Music Going Dead? B. Why Is Rock Music Disappearing? C. A New Kind of Music Is Emerging D. A Way of Recording Music Is Getting Accepted D Chinese material scientists have found the soil on the moon may potentially be able to generate oxygen and fuel, a finding that means more possibilities of humans to use lunar resources to further exploration of the moon and beyond. The researchers at Nanjing University showed that the lunar sample brought back by China’s Chang’e-5 contains active compounds (化合物) that can change carbon dioxide into oxygen and fuel. Initially, they hoped to design a system that took advantage of lunar soil and solar radiation, the two rich resources on the moon, according to a study published on Thursday in the journal Joule. After analyzing the Chang’e-5’s lunar soil, the team found the sample contained metal- rich substances, which could work as a catalyst (催化剂) to make oxygen using sunlight and carbon dioxide. The team proposed a strategy using lunar soil to electrolyze water from the moon and the astronauts’ life support system into oxygen and hydrogen. The process was powered by sunlight. The carbon dioxide breathed out by moon inhabitants can be collected and combined with hydrogen to produce the fuel, also catalyzed by the lunar soil, according to the study. The researchers said with this method, no external energy apart from sunlight would be used to produce oxygen and fuel to support life on a moon base. “We use the environmental resources to minimize rocket payload, and our strategy provides a scenario for a sustainable and affordable living environment for life out of the Earth,” said the paper’s first author Yao Yingfang from Nanjing University, expressing his assumption. “The challenge lies in the fact that catalytic efficiency of lunar soil is lower than catalysts on the Earth,” said the researchers. They are testing different approaches in order to improve the design. The team is looking for an opportunity to test the system in space with China’s future manned lunar missions. 32. What is the main implication of Chinese scientists’ discovery of the moon’s soil? A. The moon is rich in rare elements. B. Lunar soil can be used for exploring space. C. The moon can be lived on by humans. D. Lunar soil is a new renewable energy source. 33. What did the researchers work on according to paragraph 3? A. The process of the sun producing light. B. The analysis of China’s Chang’e-5’s work. C. The supportive method producing metal-rich substances. D The sustainable living strategy employing lunar resources. 34. What does the underlined word “scenario” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Contract. B. Profession. C. Possibility. D. Sponsor. 35. What is the text mainly about? A. The discovery of active compounds on the moon. B. The testing approaches to improving the lunar soil. C. The research on the environmental system of the moon. D. The study of using lunar soil for oxygen and fuel production. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Top Tips to Get You by in the US Studying abroad as an international student is an exciting and life-changing experience, ___36___.

I firmly believed that a friendly smile and an automatic “sir”, “madam”, “thank you” and “sorry” would see me through any situation. But on a Christmas night an old woman shook my belief that such a glib (油嘴滑舌的) response could smooth over any difficulty while dealing with other human beings. The moment she entered the store, the woman presented a sharp contrast to our shiny store with its bright lighting and neatly arranged shelves. Walking as if each step were painful, she slowly pushed open the glass door. On such a zero-degree night, she was wearing only a faded print dress, a thin sweater too small to button, and black slippers with the backs cut out to expose heels. There were no stockings or socks on her blue-veined (青筋的) legs. After walking around the store for several minutes, the old woman stopped in front of the rows of canned vegetables. She looked at the row of cans, finally picked up a can of corn and stared at the label. At that point, I decided to be a good and polite employee and asked her if she needed help. As I stood close to her, my smile became harder to maintain. An unpleasant smell of sweat rose from her torn clothing. “I need some food,” she muttered in reply to my bright “Madam, can I help you?” “Are you looking for corn, madam?” “I need some food,” she repeated, looking down at the can in her hand, “Any kind.” “Well, the can of corn is ninety-five cents, madam.” I said in my most helpful voice. “Or if you like, we have a special on bread today.” After a short pause, she lifted her head and said, “But I can’t pay.” For a second, it was on the tip of my tongue to tell her that she could take the corn. Then the employee rules flooded into my mind: remain polite but do not let the customers take advantage of you. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 At the thought of that, I managed a friendly smile. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Instantly I rushed out of the door with the can of corn and stopped the old woman. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2026届高二上学期半期考试 英语试题 考试时间：120分钟;满分：150分 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 conversation probably take place?

And it is interesting that there are people who live without chopsticks. Chopsticks are a pair of two long sticks used to eat things with one hand. Holding chopsticks is a little bit like holding a pencil. Most of them are made out of wood. They’re also made out of plastic, bamboo, gold, silver and even ivory. There’s evidence of chopsticks as long ago as the Shang dynasty, which is about 3,000 years ago. Chopsticks are really well designed for eating small bits of food. They’re good for picking up noodles. If you’re skilled, you can eat rice, pick up dumplings and pieces of meat. There are some no-nos with chopsticks. You should not use the chopsticks like drumsticks. You don’t want to stick chopsticks into a bowl of rice face-up. And it’s sort of like a sign of death. Chopsticks are used in a huge portion of the world, across much of Asia, about 1.5 billion people are covered in the chopsticks sphere. Different cultures have slightly different variations of chopsticks. Chinese chopsticks will tend to be long and round; Korean chopsticks are flatter and often made of metal; Japanese chopsticks tend to be round and very, very pointy. One of the things about Asian cooking is that it often comes in very small pieces. And I think part of that has to do with the fact that it’s actually a lot more energy-efficient to cook little pieces quickly. 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Here is something you need to know before your trip to Grenada.

For Bridgette Ponson, one of those moments took place in the parking lot at her workplace, Layton Christian Academy. While she was in the parking lot, her 2-year-old boy and 3-year-old girl in tow, a car hit them. This left the mother and her kids trapped beneath the car. Thankfully, the woman driver wasn’t driving very fast. At that moment, she was blinded by the sun. However, she got out of the car to help as soon as possible. Plus, she wasn’t the only one who stopped what they were doing to save Bridgette and her kids. Soon, Chris Crowder, CEO of the school, became aware of the accident. Without delay, he united a group of students to help. “It was split second,” Chris recalled. “I immediately just ran into the building because I knew I had to get a lot of people to lift this car. The students just heard me shout. All students from different countries just ran out and lifted it up.” Still, this wasn’t an easy task. The car was heavy. But the whole group of students worked together to lift the car enough for Bridgette and her kids to get free. Finally, one kid was flown to Primary Children’s Hospital while Bridgette and the other kid were taken by ambulance to the hospital. Although Bridgette took the brunt of the injuries, all three of them were expected to make complete recoveries within a few days. The heroic students who helped out certainly got their well-deserved praise. “I’m very proud of our kids. They ran out without hesitation, and they just knew what to do without even being told what to do. I’m even surprised by the driver who was behind the wheel. She immediately ran to help,” said Chris. 24. Which of the following caused the accident in the parking lot? A. The car was speeding. B. The driver was trapped in the car. C. Bridgette ignored the surroundings. D. The sunlight blocked the driver’s sight. 25. Why were the students gathered quickly by Chris? A. To meet foreign students. B. To avoid the car accident. C.

Injuries may be forgiven, but not forgotten. D. Praise makes good men better and bad men worse. 27. What did Chris think of the action to help? A. Passive. B. Hesitant. C. Timely. D. Expected. 【答案】24. D 25. C 26. A 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了在停车场发生的一起事故，一位母亲和她的两个孩子被车撞倒并被困在车下，学校的CEO Chris和一群学生及时提供了帮助，成功救出了他们。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“At that moment, she was blinded by the sun.”（那一刻，她被阳光晃得看不见。）可知，事故的原因是阳光使驾驶员视线受阻。故选D。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“I immediately just ran into the building because I knew I had to get a lot of people to lift this car.”（我立刻跑进大楼，因为我知道我需要很多人来抬起这辆车。）可知，Chris快速召集学生是为了提供紧急援助。故选C。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“The students just heard me shout. All students from different countries just ran out and lifted it up.”（学生们只是听到我喊叫。所有来自不同国家的学生都跑出来抬起了车。）可知，人多力量大。故选A。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“I’m very proud of our kids. They ran out without hesitation, and they just knew what to do without even being told what to do. I’m even surprised by the driver who was behind the wheel. She immediately ran to help,” said Chris.（我为我们的孩子们感到非常骄傲。他们毫不犹豫地跑出来，即使没有人告诉他们该怎么做，他们也知道该怎么做。我甚至对那个坐在驾驶座上的司机感到惊讶。她立刻跑来帮忙，Chris说。）可知，Chris认为这次的帮助行动是及时的。故选C。 C In the past, music recording was primitive. A recording engineer placed microphones in front of instruments. The producer pressed record and signaled the band to play. There was a human touch to recordings, and this way of recording gave rock music its raw edge. But here we are today. Complex and advanced audio software sits in every recording studio. The higher cost and greater practicality make creating digital music common. However, the modern recordings aren’t beneficial to a rock record. Let’s not forget, being in a band is laborious. You need like-minded musicians to rehearse for hours on end. Nowadays, this isn’t a necessity. Programming drums on a computer is as simple as filling cells on a spreadsheet, and there you have it, a drumbeat. Only a few professionals are aware that they aren’t listening to true live drums. Such tech is even accessible on your smartphone. Whether on a train or in a bedroom, you can create a full band track without a live band. What happened to rock music? With pop and hip hop dominating the charts, it feels like the time for bands is over. Is rock music really dying out? Is it really on its last legs, or are we just not trying hard enough? Artists, inspired by the great rock bands, seek to put their own spin on this classic genre. The spirit of rock music still remains. One singer mixed soul and rock while one band combined indie rock with elements of techno, both with underlying rock characteristics. The truth is that fresh rock bands are out there and you just need to dig deeper. A search through online music blogs shows a growing number of new rock bands. While rock bands are now not as popular as before and not receiving mainstream exposure, the flame still burns brightly. 28. Which words can best describe the past music recording? A. Underdeveloped and low-cost. B. Easy and time-saving. C. Demanding and complex. D. Digital and creative. 29. What makes programming drums easy in modern recording process? A. Low demands for music. B. Advanced audio software. C. Deep understanding of music. D. Help from professional musicians. 30. Why are one singer and one band mentioned in paragraph 5? A. To tell rock music has lost its original attraction. B. To show rock music may be presented in new styles. C. To stress rock music is no longer mainstream music. D. To compare rock music with some other kinds of music. 31. What can be the best title for the text? A. Is Rock Music Going Dead? B. Why Is Rock Music Disappearing? C. A New Kind of Music Is Emerging D. A Way of Recording Music Is Getting Accepted 【答案】28. A 29. B 30. B 31. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。尽管摇滚乐队在主流音乐中不再像以前那样受欢迎，但是摇滚音乐通过引进其他的音乐风格或融入一些科技元素，从而以新的风格呈现，有许多新摇滚乐队正在涌现。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段的“In the past, music recording was primitive. A recording engineer placed microphones in front of instruments. The producer pressed record and signaled the band to play. (在过去，音乐录制是原始的。录音工程师把麦克风放在乐器前面。制作人按下录音键，示意乐队开始演奏。)”可知，过去音乐录制技术落后且成本低廉。故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“Programming drums on a computer is as simple as filling cells on a spreadsheet, and there you have it, a drumbeat. Only a few professionals are aware that they aren’t listening to true live drums. Such tech is even accessible on your smartphone. Whether on a train or in a bedroom, you can create a full band track without a live band.(在电脑上编排鼓点就像在电子表格上填满单元格一样简单，这样你就有了一个鼓点。只有少数专业人士意识到他们听的不是真正的现场鼓。这种技术甚至可以在你的智能手机上使用。无论是在火车上还是在卧室里，你都可以在没有现场乐队的情况下创建一个完整的乐轨。) ”可知，在现代录音过程中，编排鼓点之所以变得简单是因为有先进的音频软件，在手机上都可以操作。故选B。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段的“What happened to rock music? With pop and hip hop dominating the charts, it feels like the time for bands is over. Is rock music really dying out? Is it really on its last legs, or are we just not trying hard enough?(摇滚乐怎么了？随着流行音乐和嘻哈音乐在排行榜上占据主导地位，乐队的时代似乎结束了。摇滚乐真的在消亡吗？是它真的快不行了，还是我们还不够努力？)”和第五段的“Artists, inspired by the great rock bands, seek to put their own spin on this classic genre. The spirit of rock music still remains. One singer mixed soul and rock while one band combined indie rock with elements of techno, both with underlying rock characteristics.(艺术家们受到伟大的摇滚乐队的启发，试图在这一经典流派中融入自己的风格。摇滚乐的精神依然存在。一位歌手将灵魂乐和摇滚混合在一起，而一支乐队将独立摇滚与科技元素结合在一起，两者都具有潜在的摇滚特征。)”可知，本段提到一个歌手和一个乐队是为了展示摇滚音乐可以引进其他的音乐风格或融入一些科技元素，从而以新的风格呈现。故选B。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第四段的“What happened to rock music? With pop and hip hop dominating the charts, it feels like the time for bands is over. Is rock music really dying out? Is it really on its last legs, or are we just not trying hard enough?(摇滚乐怎么了？随着流行音乐和嘻哈音乐在排行榜上占据主导地位，乐队的时代似乎结束了。摇滚乐真的在消亡吗？是它真的快不行了，还是我们还不够努力？)”和第五段的“Artists, inspired by the great rock bands, seek to put their own spin on this classic genre. The spirit of rock music still remains. One singer mixed soul and rock while one band combined indie rock with elements of techno, both with underlying rock characteristics.(艺术家们受到伟大的摇滚乐队的启发，试图在这一经典流派中融入自己的风格。摇滚乐的精神依然存在。一位歌手将灵魂乐和摇滚混合在一起，而一支乐队将独立摇滚与科技元素结合在一起，两者都具有潜在的摇滚特征。)”以及最后一段的“The truth is that fresh rock bands are out there and you just need to dig deeper. A search through online music blogs shows a growing number of new rock bands. While rock bands are now not as popular as before and not receiving mainstream exposure, the flame still burns brightly.(事实是，新鲜的摇滚乐队就在那里，你只需要深入挖掘。通过在线音乐博客搜索，可以发现越来越多的新摇滚乐队。虽然摇滚乐队现在不像以前那么受欢迎，也没有得到主流媒体的关注，但火焰仍然燃烧得很亮。)”可知，尽管摇滚乐队在主流音乐中不再像以前那样受欢迎，但是摇滚音乐通过引进其他的音乐风格或融入一些科技元素，从而以新的风格呈现，有许多新摇滚乐队正在涌现。因此，标题“A New Kind of Music Is Emerging”突出了新兴摇滚音乐的产生。故选C。 D Chinese material scientists have found the soil on the moon may potentially be able to generate oxygen and fuel, a finding that means more possibilities of humans to use lunar resources to further exploration of the moon and beyond. The researchers at Nanjing University showed that the lunar sample brought back by China’s Chang’e-5 contains active compounds (化合物) that can change carbon dioxide into oxygen and fuel. Initially, they hoped to design a system that took advantage of lunar soil and solar radiation, the two rich resources on the moon, according to a study published on Thursday in the journal Joule. After analyzing the Chang’e-5’s lunar soil the team found the sample contained metal- rich substances, which could work as a catalyst (催化剂) to make oxygen using sunlight and carbon dioxide. The team proposed a strategy using lunar soil to electrolyze water from the moon and the astronauts’ life support system into oxygen and hydrogen. The process was powered by sunlight. The carbon dioxide breathed out by moon inhabitants can be collected and combined with hydrogen to produce the fuel, also catalyzed by the lunar soil, according to the study. The researchers said with this method, no external energy apart from sunlight would be used to produce oxygen and fuel to support life on a moon base. “We use the environmental resources to minimize rocket payload, and our strategy provides a scenario for a sustainable and affordable living environment for life out of the Earth,” said the paper’s first author Yao Yingfang from Nanjing University, expressing his assumption. “The challenge lies in the fact that catalytic efficiency of lunar soil is lower than catalysts on the Earth,” said the researchers. They are testing different approaches in order to improve the design. The team is looking for an opportunity to test the system in space with China’s future manned lunar missions. 32. What is the main implication of Chinese scientists’ discovery of the moon’s soil? A. The moon is rich in rare elements. B. Lunar soil can be used for exploring space. C. The moon can be lived on by humans. D. Lunar soil is a new renewable energy source. 33. What did the researchers work on according to paragraph 3? A. The process of the sun producing light. B. The analysis of China’s Chang’e-5’s work. C. The supportive method producing metal-rich substances. D. The sustainable living strategy employing lunar resources. 34. What does the underlined word “scenario” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Contract. B. Profession. C. Possibility. D. Sponsor. 35. What is the text mainly about? A. The discovery of active compounds on the moon. B. The testing approaches to improving the lunar soil. C. The research on the environmental system of the moon. D. The study of using lunar soil for oxygen and fuel production. 【答案】32. B 33. D 34. C 35. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了中国科学家发现月球土壤可能具有生成氧气和燃料的潜力，这一发现意味着人类可以利用月球资源进一步探索月球及其它星球。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“Chinese material scientists have found the soil on the moon may potentially be able to generate oxygen and fuel, a finding that means more possibilities of humans to use lunar resources to further exploration of the moon and beyond.(中国材料科学家发现，月球上的土壤可能能够产生氧气和燃料，这一发现意味着人类利用月球资源进一步探索月球及其他地方的可能性更大。)”可知，中国科学家发现月球土壤能够产生氧气和燃料，这意味着可以利用月球土壤进一步探索太空。故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The team proposed a strategy using lunar soil to electrolyze water from the moon and the astronauts’ life support system into oxygen and hydrogen. The process was powered by sunlight. The carbon dioxide breathed out by moon inhabitants can be collected and combined with hydrogen to produce the fuel, also catalyzed by the lunar soil, according to the study.(该团队提出了一种策略，利用月球土壤将月球和宇航员生命维持系统中的水电解成氧气和氢气。这个过程是由阳光驱动的。根据这项研究，月球居民呼出的二氧化碳可以被收集起来，并与氢结合来生产燃料，也可以由月球土壤催化。) ”可知，研究人员利用月球资源进行可持续生存策略的研究。故选D。 【34题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段的“The researchers said with this method, no external energy apart from sunlight would be used to produce oxygen and fuel to support life on a moon base. (研究人员表示，通过这种方法，除了阳光之外，不需要任何外部能量被用来产生氧气和燃料，以支持月球基地的生命。)”可知，目前人类在月球上不能像在地球上一样生存，再由第四段的“for a sustainable and affordable living environment for life out of the Earth(为地球以外的生命提供一个可持续的、负担得起的生活环境)”可知，通过对月球土壤资源的研究利用，人类有望在月球上得以生存，因此划线词意为“愿景，构想”，和C项：Possibility(发展前景，潜能)含义相近。故选C。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段的“Chinese material scientists have found the soil on the moon may potentially be able to generate oxygen and fuel, a finding that means more possibilities of humans to use lunar resources to further exploration of the moon and beyond.(中国材料科学家发现，月球上的土壤可能能够产生氧气和燃料，这一发现意味着人类利用月球资源进一步探索月球及其他地方的可能性更大。)”和第二段的“The researchers at Nanjing University showed that the lunar sample brought back by China’s Chang’e- 5 contains active compounds (化合物) that can change carbon dioxide into oxygen and fuel. Initially, they hoped to design a system that took advantage of lunar soil and solar radiation, the two rich resources on the moon, according to a study published on Thursday in the journal Joule.(南京大学的研究人员表明，中国嫦娥五号带回的月球样本含有活性化合物，可以将二氧化碳转化为氧气和燃料。根据周四发表在《焦耳》杂志上的一项研究，最初，他们希望设计一个利用月球土壤和太阳辐射的系统，这是月球上两种丰富的资源。)”可知，这篇文章讲述了中国科学家发现月球土壤可以用于生产氧气和燃料，这意味着可以利用月球土壤进一步探索太空。故选D。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Top Tips to Get You by in the US Studying abroad as an international student is an exciting and life-changing experience, ___36___.

I firmly believed that a friendly smile and an automatic “sir”, “madam”, “thank you” and “sorry” would see me through any situation. But on a Christmas night an old woman shook my belief that such a glib (油嘴滑舌的) response could smooth over any difficulty while dealing with other human beings. The moment she entered the store, the woman presented a sharp contrast to our shiny store with its bright lighting and neatly arranged shelves. Walking as if each step were painful, she slowly pushed open the glass door. On such a zero-degree night, she was wearing only a faded print dress, a thin sweater too small to button, and black slippers with the backs cut out to expose heels. There were no stockings or socks on her blue-veined (青筋的) legs. After walking around the store for several minutes, the old woman stopped in front of the rows of canned vegetables. She looked at the row of cans, finally picked up a can of corn and stared at the label. At that point, I decided to be a good and polite employee and asked her if she needed help. As I stood close to her, my smile became harder to maintain. An unpleasant smell of sweat rose from her torn clothing. “I need some food,” she muttered in reply to my bright “Madam, can I help you?” “Are you looking for corn, madam?” “I need some food,” she repeated, looking down at the can in her hand, “Any kind.” “Well, the can of corn is ninety-five cents, madam.” I said in my most helpful voice. “Or if you like, we have a special on bread today.” After a short pause, she lifted her head and said, “But I can’t pay.” For a second, it was on the tip of my tongue to tell her that she could take the corn. Then the employee rules flooded into my mind: remain polite but do not let the customers take advantage of you. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 At the thought of that, I managed a friendly smile. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Instantly I rushed out of the door with the can of corn and stopped the old woman. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: At the thought of that, I managed a friendly smile. Then I nearly automatically said, “I’m sorry, madam, but I can’t give away anything for free.” Hearing this, the old woman nodded her head, her face darkened and eyelids dropped. Unwillingly, she put the can back on the shelf, walked shyly past me toward the door and out she went. It was at that moment that I felt regretful inside me. How I wished I hadn’t said those words! Paragraph 2: Instantly I rushed out of the door with the can of corn and stopped the old woman. “Madam, Merry Christmas!” said I, putting softly the can of corn into her hand. For a second, I could feel that her hand trembled. Without waiting for her reply, I just waved her goodbye and returned inside the store. For the rest of my work, the image of the woman constantly reminded me that while dealing with customers, it was sincere concern rather than a glib response that could smooth over any difficulty. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在一家小食品店工作了两年之后，在一个圣诞夜，一位老妇人走进店里想要一罐玉米，但是却买不起，作者尽量保持礼貌，此事动摇了作者的信念，让作者不相信这种油嘴滑舌的回应可以解决与他人打交道时的任何困难。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“想到这里，我勉强露出了友好的微笑。”可知，第一段描写作者按照员工守则，拒绝提供免费的食物，老妇人失望地离开了，而作者感到了后悔。 ②由第二段首句内容“我立刻拿着玉米罐头冲出门外，拦住了老妇人。”可知，第二段可描写作者给老妇人送去玉米罐头，她很感激，而作者也感悟了在与他人打交道时，应是真诚的关心，而不是能化解任何困难的油嘴滑舌的回应。 2.续写线索：拒绝老妇人——后悔——追上老妇人——老妇人感激——获得感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①变黑：darken/blacken ②放：put/place ③颤抖：tremble/quiver 情绪类 ①不情愿地：unwillingly/reluctantly ②后悔：regretful/repentant 【点睛】[高分句型1] It was at that moment that I felt regretful inside me.(运用了强调句型) [高分句型2] For the rest of my work, the image of the woman constantly reminded me that while dealing with customers, it was sincere concern rather than a glib response that could smooth over any difficulty.(由that引导的宾语从句和强调句型) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
