The Booderee National Park It offers a protected habitat (栖息地) for native wildlife against high cliffs and white beaches. While summer is good for visiting due to the excellent weather, a special event takes place in June and July when whales come back with their babies. Educational tours are fit for school groups to get close to nature. There are a range of activities such as camping, diving and nature walks. The Norfolk Island National Park The history of the Park is eye-catching, so you might want to check out how Captain James Cook got here and why. You can picnic and have a nice barbecue around the highest point on the island, Mount Bates. Another tourist attraction is Phillip Island, six kilometers away from Norfolk, home to many seabirds. The Uluru National Park If you’re into learning more about Aboriginals (土著居民) and their influence on the world, you mustn’t miss it, where Tjukurpa stories come from about native songs and dances. The rocks here are extremely loved because they seem to change color during sunrise and sunset. So the spot is also great for walking, considering the knowledge and stories on the rocks’ shapes and purpose for humans. The Kakadu National Park It has the longest historical records of Aboriginal people living there, which have been carved in the rock art made by Indigenous civilizations over the years. The Park has remarkable rivers and floodplains that go through the rich ecosystem. With more than 280 species of birds, 117 reptile species and 74 mammals, the park is a joy to the eye of the traveler. 1. What makes the Booderee National Park special? A. Whales’ return. B. Nature walks. C. Wildlife habitat. D. Educational tours. 2. Where can you learn about Captain James Cook? A. The Uluru National Park. B. The Kakadu National Park. C. The Booderee National Park. D. The Norfolk Island National Park. 3. What do the Uluru National Park and the Kakadu National Park have in common? A. Rock colors. B. Rock shapes. C. Native culture. D. Rich wildlife. 【答案】1. A 2. D 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了澳大利亚的四所国家公园。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Booderee National Park中“While summer is good for visiting due to the excellent weather, a special event takes place in June and July when whales come back with their babies. (由于天气好，夏天是游览的好季节，而6月和7月会有一个特别的活动，那时鲸鱼带着它们的孩子回来)”可知，波特里国家公园的特别之处在于冬季鲸鱼的返回。故选A项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Norfolk Island National Park中“The history of the Park is eye-catching, so you might want to check out how Captain James Cook got here and why. (公园的历史是引人注目的，所以你可能想看看James Cook船长是如何来到这里的，以及为什么来到这里)”可知，在诺福克岛国家公园，你可以了解James Cook船长的相关信息。故选D项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Uluru National Park中“If you’re into learning more about Aboriginals (土著居民) and their influence on the world, you mustn’t miss it, where Tjukurpa stories come from about native songs and dances. (如果你想更多地了解土著居民及其对世界的影响，你一定不能错过这里，Tjukurpa的故事来自当地的歌曲和舞蹈)”和The Kakadu National Park中“It has the longest historical records of Aboriginal people living there, which have been carved in the rock art made by Indigenous civilizations over the years. (土著居民居住在这里的历史记录是最悠久的，这些记录被土著文明多年来雕刻在岩石艺术上)”知，乌鲁鲁国家公园和卡卡杜国家公园的共同之处在于两者都拥有本土文化。故选C项。 B My wife Laura and I were on the beach,with three of our children,taking pictures of shore birds near our home in Alaska when we spotted a bear. The bear was thin and small, moving aimlessly. Just a few minutes later, I heard my daughter shouting, “Dad! The bear is right behind us!” An aggressive bear will usually rush forward to frighten away its enemy but would suddenly stop at the last minute. This one was silent and its ears pinned back—the sign of an animal that is going in for the kill. And it was a cold April day. The bear behaved abnormally, probably because of hunger. I held my camera tripod (三脚架) in both hands to form a barrier as the bear rushed into me. Its huge head was level with my chest and shoulders, and the tripod stuck across its mouth. It bit down and I found myself supporting its weight. I knew I would not be able to hold it for long. Even so, this was a fight I had to win: I was all that stood between the bear and my family, who would stand little chance of running faster than a brown bear. The bear hit at the camera, cutting it off the tripod. I raised my left arm to protect my face; the beast held tightly on the tripod and pressed it into my side. My arm could not move, and I sensed that my bones were going to break. Drawing back my free hand, I struck the bear as hard as I could for five to six times. The bear opened its mouth and I grasped its fur, trying to push it away. I was actually wrestling (扭打) with the bear at this point. Then, as suddenly as it had begun, the fight ended. The bear moved back toward the forest, before returning for another attack. The first time I felt panic. Apparently satisfied that we caused no further threat, the bear moved off, destroying a fence as it went. My arm was injured, but the outcome for us could hardly have been better. I’m proud that my family remained clear-headed when panic could have led to a very different outcome. 4. The whole text is mainly arranged in　　　. A. result and inference B. cause and effect C. space order D. time order 5. When did the bear finally go away? A. After it felt safe. B. After it got injured. C. After it found some food. D. After it took away the camera. 6. The writer and his family survived mainly due to their 　　　. A. calmness B. patience C. pride D. cautiousness 7. When the bear moved back towards the forest, how did the family feel? A. Excited. B. Threatened. C. Relieved. D. Puzzled. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是作者和妻子，孩子一起在Alaska的家附近的海滩上给海鸟拍照时遇到一只想要攻击他们的熊，作者勇敢地和熊搏斗的故事。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段的“Just a few minutes later(几分钟后)”，第三段的“I held my camera tripod (三脚架) in both hands to form a barrier as the bear rushed into me.(我双手拿着相机三脚架，挡住了熊向我冲过来的路。)”和第五段的“The bear hit at the camera, cutting it off the tripod.(熊猛击照相机，把它从三脚架上砍了下来。)”和最后一段的“the bear moved off(这只熊离开了)”可知，本文是描述作者和熊搏斗的过程，是按时间顺序写的，故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段的“Apparently satisfied that we caused no further threat, the bear moved off, destroying a fence as it went.(显然，看到我们没有造成进一步的威胁，这只熊很满意，它离开了，在它移动的过程中摧毁了一堵篱笆。)”可知，熊最后在感觉安全之后走的，故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“I’m proud that my family remained clear-headed when panic could have led to a very different outcome.(我为我的家人在恐慌可能导致截然不同的结果时保持清醒而感到自豪。)”可知，作家和他的家人幸存下来主要是由于他们的冷静，故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Apparently satisfied that we caused no further threat, the bear moved off, destroying a fence as it went. My arm was injured, but the outcome for us could hardly have been better. I’m proud that my family remained clear-headed when panic could have led to a very different outcome.(显然，看到我们没有造成进一步的威胁，这只熊很满意，它离开了，在它移动的过程中摧毁了一堵篱笆。我的手臂受伤了，但结果对我们来说是再好不过了。我为我的家人在恐慌可能导致截然不同的结果时保持清醒而感到自豪。)”可知，熊离开了，作者觉得这个结果再好不过了，所以作者一家应该会觉得松了一口气，故选C。 C When you think about who’s responsible for a city’s safety, what people come to mind? Police officers, firefighters or emergency response teams? Would you put your local meteorologist (气象预报员) in this group? That’s the career Ashley Ruiz chose, and she’s now the first female chief meteorologist in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Ruiz predicts the weather for her community. In 2020, a tornado hit Ruiz’s hometown of Chattanooga, Tennessee — and, even closer to home, her house. So she said she knew what a lifesaving job this could be. However, her job isn’t without difficulties. “Hearing people have been injured, like in a big hurricane, is really hard,” she said. “We try our best to predict the weather as best as we can, and we are getting better. But it can always change.” Ruiz talked about the new and changing weather patterns. She said, “We are absolutely seeing changes in weather, with more intense and more frequent storms, which relate to climate change.” Weather is changing everywhere, as the planet warms. There are more frequent droughts, stronger storms, and increasing temperature changes. This makes predicting the weather difficult. Ruiz always knew she was interested in weather and how it affected the world. But her path to a career in meteorology wasn’t easy. She said, “I struggled so hard with math and wanted to give up. But I kept pushing and working hard, and now I’m the first woman chief meteorologist in the Baton Rouge TV market. I’m proud of that.” She wants kids to know they should never give up on their education or their dreams. 8. Why was the disaster in Ruiz’s hometown mentioned in the text? A. To call on people to prepare for disasters. B. To introduce Ruiz’s unusual childhood experience. C. To offer a successful example of weather forecast. D. To show Ruiz’s understanding of the work of a meteorologist. 9. What is a challenge of predicting the weather according to the text? A. Climate change. B. People’s injury. C. Poor technology. D. Lack of experience. 10. Which word can best describe Ruiz according to the last paragraph? A. Creative. B. Clever. C. Hard-working. D. World-famous. 11. In which section of a newspaper may the text appear? A. Sports. B. People. C. Education. D. Health. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇人物传记。文章主要讲述了Ashley Ruiz的职业生涯和个人经历，介绍了她作为气象预报员的工作内容、面临的挑战、对天气变化的看法，以及她如何克服数学难题成为首位女性首席气象预报员的经历。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“In 2020, a tornado hit Ruiz’s hometown of Chattanooga, Tennessee—and, even closer to home, her house. So she said she knew what a lifesaving job this could be.(2020年，一场龙卷风袭击了Ruiz位于田纳西州查塔努加家乡——甚至离她家更近的地方。所以她说她知道这是一份救命的工作。)”可知，文章提到Ruiz家乡发生的灾难是为了展示她对气象预报员工作的理解。她亲身体验了龙卷风对家乡的破坏，因此她深刻理解这份工作的重要性和救命的性质。这一经历使她更加明白作为气象预报员的责任和使命。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Ruiz talked about the new and changing weather patterns. She said, “We are absolutely seeing changes in weather, with more intense and more frequent storms, which relate to climate change.” Weather is changing everywhere, as the planet warms. There are more frequent droughts, stronger storms, and increasing temperature changes. This makes predicting the weather difficult.( Ruiz谈到了新的和变化中的天气模式。她说：“我们绝对看到了天气的变化，风暴更加剧烈和频繁，这与气候变化有关。”随着地球变暖，天气到处都在变化。干旱更频繁，风暴更猛烈，气温变化更大。这使得预测天气变得困难。)”可知，气候变化使得天气变得更加难以预测，因此是预测天气的一个挑战。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Ruiz always knew she was interested in weather and how it affected the world. But her path to a career in meteorology wasn’t easy. She said, “I struggled so hard with math and wanted to give up. But I kept pushing and working hard, and now I’m the first woman chief meteorologist in the Baton Rouge TV market. I’m proud of that.”(Ruiz一直知道自己对天气及其对世界的影响感兴趣。但她成为气象学家的道路并不容易。她说：“我在数学上挣扎得很厉害，几乎想放弃了。但我一直在坚持和努力，现在我是巴吞鲁日电视市场的第一位女性首席气象预报员。我为此感到骄傲。”)”可知，Ruiz在数学上挣扎得很厉害，但她一直坚持不懈地努力工作，最终成为了巴吞鲁日电视市场的首位女性首席气象预报员。这显示了她是一个勤奋努力的人。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“When you think about who’s responsible for a city’s safety, what people come to mind? Police officers, firefighters or emergency response teams? Would you put your local meteorologist (气象预报员) in this group? That’s the career Ashley Ruiz chose, and she’s now the first female chief meteorologist in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Ruiz predicts the weather for her community.(当你想到谁负责城市的安全时，你会想到哪些人？警察、消防员还是应急响应团队？你会把当地的气象预报员归入这个群体吗？这就是Ashley Ruiz选择的职业，现在她是路易斯安那州巴吞鲁日的第一位女性首席气象预报员。Ruiz为她的社区预测天气。)”以及全文内容可知，本文主要介绍了Ashley Ruiz作为气象预报员的职业生涯和个人经历，包括她如何克服困难成为首位女性首席气象预报员，以及她对天气和气候变化的看法。这种关于人物成长和成就的文章更适合出现在报纸的“People”（人物）栏目中。故选B。 D I was born with a disability (残疾). When I started to go to school, my classmates were always teasing about it. I told them I’d fallen as a baby and cut my lips on a piece of glass. Somehow it seemed more acceptable to have suffered an accident than to have been born different. By seven, I was sure no one outside my own family could ever love me or even like me. And then I entered the second grade, and Mrs. Leonard’s class. She was round, pretty and sweet, with shining brown hair and warm, smiling dark eyes. Everyone loved her. But no one came to love her more than I did. The time came for the annual hearing tests given at our school. I was hardly able to hear anything out of one ear, and wasn’t about to show yet another problem that would single me out as different. So I cheated. During the hearing tests, each child would go to the door of the classroom, turn sideways, close one ear with a finger, and the teacher would whisper something from her desk, which the child would repeat. Then the same thing was done for the other ear. I had discovered in kindergarten that nobody checked to see if the untested ear was being fully covered, so I only pretended to block mine. My turn came. I knew from previous years that the teacher whispered things like “The sky is blue.” or “Do you have new shoes?” I turned my bad ear to her, covering the other with my finger, and gently backed my finger out enough to be able to hear. I waited, and then came the seven words that changed my life forever: “I wish you were my little girl.” 12. What does the underlined phrase “teasing about” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Looking into. B. Caring about. C. Arguing over. D. Laughing at. 13. Why did the author worry about the hearing test? A. She didn’t want to make her disability public. B. She couldn’t understand the teacher’s words. C. She was afraid to make mistakes in the test. D. She didn’t want to disappoint Mrs. Leonard. 14. What can we know about what Mrs. Leonard said? A. It made the girl very discouraged. B. It proved the girl cheated in the test. C. It made a huge difference to the girl. D. It embarrassed the girl immediately. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. A Hearing Test Upsetting a Girl B. Seven Words Changing a Girl’s Life C. A Strict Primary School Teacher D. Clever Ways to Pass a Hearing Test 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。天生残疾的我受尽了嘲笑和白眼，这让我觉得家人之外没有人会爱我甚至喜欢我，但是老师在一次偶然的机会说的一句话却改变了我的一生。 12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第一段“I was born with a disability (残疾).(我生来就有残疾。)”可知我天生残疾，所以可以推测我上学时会受到别人的嘲笑。故此处划线短语的意思是“嘲笑”。故选D项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“I was hardly able to hear anything out of one ear, and wasn’t about to show yet another problem that would single me out as different.(我的一只耳朵几乎听不见什么声音，我也不会再表现出另一个让我与众不同的问题。)”可知，作者担心听力测试的原因是，作者的一只耳朵有问题，但是她不想让别人再看出来她的不同。故选A项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“I waited, and then came the seven words that changed my life forever: “I wish you were my little girl.”(我等待着，然后出现了那永远改变了我生活的七个字：“我希望你是我的小女孩”)”可知，Mrs. Leonard是在鼓励作者，由此可推知她的话对作者产生了巨大的影响。故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“By seven, I was sure no one outside my own family could ever love me or even like me.(到7岁时，我确信除了我自己的家庭，没有人会爱我，甚至喜欢我。)”以及第二段“And then I entered the second grade, and Mrs. Leonard’s class. She was round, pretty and sweet, with shining brown hair and warm, smiling dark eyes. Everyone loved her. But no one came to love her more than I did.(然后我上了二年级，Mrs. Leonard的班级。她身材圆润，漂亮，可爱，有着闪亮的棕色头发和温暖而微笑的黑眼睛。每个人都爱她。但没有人比我更爱她了。)”及最后一段“I waited, and then came the seven words that changed my life forever: “I wish you were my little girl.”(我等待着，然后出现了那永远改变了我生活的七个字：“我真希望你是我的小女孩。)”可知整篇文章主要讲的是原本作者的残疾让作者在家人之外感受不到温暖，但是听力测试中老师的七个字却让作者的生活有了改变，由此可知，B项“Seven Words Changing a Girl’s Life(改变一个女孩一生的七个字)”最适合做文章标题。故选B项。 第二节（共5小题, 每小题2. 5分, 共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。 With one and half years of senior school to go, you’re probably experiencing a mix of emotions: excitement about what the future holds, and maybe anxiety about how to handle the coming exams. Don’t worry! Here are a few things that will help you get through the rest of your senior school. ____16____ This means setting up a system that works for you to keep track of important dates, assignments, and deadlines. This can be as simple as using a planner. In this way, you can stay on top of your work and avoid any last- minute hurry. Manage your time wisely. Learn to balance your academic tasks with extracurricular and social activities. ____17____ For example, you might dedicate Mondays to Thursdays to homework, Fridays to extracurricular activities, and Saturdays to sports and hanging out with friends. Whatever system you choose, just ensure it works for you and helps you stay on track. Keep your grades up. Letting your grades slip during the senior year can be easy. To avoid this, create a study schedule that allows you to focus on one subject at a time. Meanwhile, do ask for help from your teachers and parents if you’re struggling with a particular concept. ____18____ Set goals, not time limits. Most people set time limits on their goals, such as “I’ll finish reviewing this book by Friday!” or something like that. ____19____ So just focus on the goal, not the timeframe. For example, rather than saying you’ll finish reviewing one book by Friday, focus on what you need to do to make that happen. Embrace your passions and start exploring potential careers. Think about what subjects you enjoy most and what courses you’re passionate about. From there, research potential careers that are in line with your interests. ____20____ The more you know about a particular career, the better equipped you’ll be to decide your future. A. Give back. B. Get organized. C. Step outside your comfort zone and try new things. D. They are there to support you and want you to succeed. E. It’s a good idea to set specific days or hours for each task. F And reach out to people in those fields for advice and guidance. G. Putting pressure on yourself to meet these deadlines can be stressful. 【答案】16. B 17. E 18. D 19. G 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了通过五个方面帮助高二的学生度过高中的剩余时光。 【16题详解】 根据后文“This means setting up a system that works for you to keep track of important dates, assignments, and deadlines. This can be as simple as using a planner. In this way, you can stay on top of your work and avoid any last- minute hurry.(这意味着你要建立一个系统来记录重要的日期、任务和截止日期。这就像使用计划表一样简单。这样，你就能掌握你的工作，避免最后一分钟的匆忙)”可知，本段的主旨是强调要有条理，有目标，故B选项“有条理”符号语境。故选B。 【17题详解】 根据后文“For example, you might dedicate Mondays to Thursdays to homework, Fridays to extracurricular activities, and Saturdays to sports and hanging out with friends.(例如，你可以在周一到周四做作业，周五做课外活动，周六做运动和和朋友出去玩)”可知，后文的例子表明每天的活动都要有具体的安排，平衡好学习和课外、社交生活，明智的管理时间。E选项“为每项任务设定具体的日期或时间是个好主意”符合语境。故选E。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Meanwhile, do ask for help from your teachers and parents if you’re struggling with a particular concept.(同时，如果你在某个概念上有困难，一定要向老师和父母寻求帮助)”可知，本句承接上文，说明老师和父母的作用。D选项中的they指的是your teachers and parents，他们一直在那儿支持你并希望你成功。D选项“他们会支持你，希望你成功”符合语境。故选D。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Set goals, not time limits. Most people set time limits on their goals, such as “I’ll finish reviewing this book by Friday!” or something like that.(设定目标，而不是时间限制。大多数人都为自己的目标设定了时间限制，比如“我要在周五之前完成这本书的复习！”诸如此类的话)”以及后文“So just focus on the goal, not the timeframe.(所以只关注目标，而不是时间框架)”可知，本段主旨为段落首句，要设定目标而不是设定时间界限。空格与其后一句构成因果关系，强调给自己施加压力赶上截止日期是有压力的。G选项“在截止日期前给自己施加压力是有压力的”符合语境。故选G。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Embrace your passions and start exploring potential careers. Think about what subjects you enjoy most and what courses you’re passionate about. From there, research potential careers that are in line with your interests.(拥抱你的激情，开始探索潜在的职业。想想你最喜欢的科目和你最热衷的课程。在此基础上，研究符合你兴趣的潜在职业)”以及后文“The more you know about a particular career, the better equipped you’ll be to decide your future.(你对某一职业了解得越多，你就越有能力决定自己的未来)”可知，本段主旨为段落首句，拥抱你的激情，开始探索潜在的职业，后文提到了了解某一职业，可知本句与了解职业领域有关，F选项中those fields指的是空格前的potential careers。F选项“向这些领域的人寻求建议和指导”符合语境。故选F。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节, 满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分, 共15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Brian Peters had one thing to do before leaving his job as a police officer in Brooklyn.

Instead of having bright fires in winter, she had nothing to burn but dry sticks, which George picked up from under the trees. One fine day in July, his sick mother sent him to the woods. He was to stay there all day, to get as much wood as he could collect. It was a bright, sunny day, and George worked very hard, so by the time the sun was high, he was hot, and wished for a cool place where he might rest and have his meal. While he hunted for a place on the bank he saw among the grass some fine and wild strawberries (草莓). “How good these will be with my bread and butter!” thought George. He set to work eagerly to gather all he could find, and then seated himself by the river. It was a pleasant place, and George felt happy and satisfied. He thought how much his sick mother would like to see him there, and to be there herself, instead of in her dark room in the village. George thought of all this, and just as he was putting the first strawberry to his mouth, he said to himself, “How much Mum would like these!” So he stopped, and put the strawberry back again. “Shall I save them for her?” he said, thinking how much they would happy her, yet still looking at them with a longing eye. “I will eat half, and take the other half to her,” he said at last, and he divided them into two heaps (堆). But each heap looked so small that he put them together again. “I will only taste one,” he thought. As he again put it to his mouth, he saw that he had taken the finest and he put it back. “I will keep them all for her,” he said with great happiness, and he covered them up nicely to take them home. 注意：续写词数应为150左右。 He stood up and started to get more and more wood until the sun was beginning to goes down ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Seeing the wild strawberries, his mum ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 He stood up and started to get more and more wood until the sun was beginning to goes down. George set out for home. He carried his cap filled with strawberries very carefully. How happy he felt then! He had all his strawberries for his sick mother. The nearer he came to his home the less he wished to taste them. He arrived home before he knew it. Just after he had thrown down his wood, he heard his mother’s weak voice calling him from the next room. “Is that you, George? I am glad you have come, for I am thirsty and I’m longing for some tea. Could you get some for me?” George ran to her and joyfully offered her all the wild strawberries. Seeing the wild strawberries, his mum was very glad, tears running down her face. She said, “My boy, you didn’t taste one of the strawberries and saved all for your sick mother. God will bless you for all this, my child.” At that moment, George and his mother were both filled with happiness. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。George的妈妈很穷，且病得很严重，整天待在村子里的黑屋子里。一天George去树林里收集木柴，午饭的时候他发现了一些野草莓，在他想吃的时候想到了妈妈，这叫他无法下咽，最后George决定把采到的野草莓全部小心翼翼地带回家。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“他站起来，开始捡越来越多的木头，直到太阳开始下山。”可知，第一段可描写一天结束George带着木柴和野草莓满载而归，到家后把野草莓拿给妈妈。 ②由第二段首句内容“看到野草莓，他的妈妈……”可知，第二段可描写妈妈看到野草莓时的反应，最后升华文章的主旨：爱使家充满欢乐。 2.续写线索：动身回家——心理活动——到家后听到妈妈呼唤——把野草莓拿给妈妈——妈妈的反应——充满幸福 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①启程回家：set out for home/head home/hit the road for home ②到达：arrive/get to/reach ③渴望：long for/desire/be anxious for 情绪类 ①高兴的：happy/joyful/delighted ②眼泪夺眶而出：tears run down/burst into tears/tears burst out 【点睛】[高分句型1] Just after he had thrown down his wood, he heard his mother’s weak voice calling him from the next room.（由连词after引导的时间状语从句） [高分句型2] Seeing the wild strawberries, his mum was very glad, tears running down her face.（现在分词短语作状语和独立主格结构） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025学年第一学期高二年级英语第二次月考试卷 （满分：150分 时间：120分钟 ） 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.

The Booderee National Park It offers a protected habitat (栖息地) for native wildlife against high cliffs and white beaches. While summer is good for visiting due to the excellent weather, a special event takes place in June and July when whales come back with their babies. Educational tours are fit for school groups to get close to nature. There are a range of activities such as camping, diving and nature walks. The Norfolk Island National Park The history of the Park is eye-catching, so you might want to check out how Captain James Cook got here and why. You can picnic and have a nice barbecue around the highest point on the island, Mount Bates. Another tourist attraction is Phillip Island, six kilometers away from Norfolk, home to many seabirds. The Uluru National Park If you’re into learning more about Aboriginals (土著居民) and their influence on the world, you mustn’t miss it, where Tjukurpa stories come from about native songs and dances. The rocks here are extremely loved because they seem to change color during sunrise and sunset. So the spot is also great for walking, considering the knowledge and stories on the rocks’ shapes and purpose for humans. The Kakadu National Park It has the longest historical records of Aboriginal people living there, which have been carved in the rock art made by Indigenous civilizations over the years. The Park has remarkable rivers and floodplains that go through the rich ecosystem. With more than 280 species of birds, 117 reptile species and 74 mammals, the park is a joy to the eye of the traveler. 1. What makes the Booderee National Park special? A. Whales’ return. B. Nature walks. C. Wildlife habitat. D. Educational tours. 2. Where can you learn about Captain James Cook? A. The Uluru National Park. B. The Kakadu National Park. C. The Booderee National Park. D. The Norfolk Island National Park. 3. What do the Uluru National Park and the Kakadu National Park have in common? A. Rock colors. B. Rock shapes. C. Native culture. D. Rich wildlife. B My wife Laura and I were on the beachwith three of our children,taking pictures of shore birds near our home in Alaska when we spotted a bear. The bear was thin and small, moving aimlessly. Just a few minutes later I heard my daughter shouting, “Dad! The bear is right behind us!” An aggressive bear will usually rush forward to frighten away its enemy but would suddenly stop at the last minute. This one was silent and its ears pinned back—the sign of an animal that is going in for the kill. And it was a cold April day. The bear behaved abnormally, probably because of hunger. I held my camera tripod (三脚架) in both hands to form a barrier as the bear rushed into me. Its huge head was level with my chest and shoulders and the tripod stuck across its mouth. It bit down and I found myself supporting its weight. I knew I would not be able to hold it for long. Even so, this was a fight I had to win: I was all that stood between the bear and my family, who would stand little chance of running faster than a brown bear. The bear hit at the camera, cutting it off the tripod. I raised my left arm to protect my face; the beast held tightly on the tripod and pressed it into my side. My arm could not move, and I sensed that my bones were going to break. Drawing back my free hand, I struck the bear as hard as I could for five to six times. The bear opened its mouth and I grasped its fur, trying to push it away. I was actually wrestling (扭打) with the bear at this point. Then, as suddenly as it had begun, the fight ended. The bear moved back toward the forest, before returning for another attack. The first time I felt panic. Apparently satisfied that we caused no further threat, the bear moved off, destroying a fence as it went. My arm was injured, but the outcome for us could hardly have been better. I’m proud that my family remained clear-headed when panic could have led to a very different outcome. 4. The whole text is mainly arranged in　　　. A. result and inference B. cause and effect C. space order D. time order 5. When did the bear finally go away? A. After it felt safe. B. After it got injured. C. After it found some food. D. After it took away the camera. 6. The writer and his family survived mainly due to their 　　　. A. calmness B. patience C. pride D. cautiousness 7. When the bear moved back towards the forest, how did the family feel? A. Excited. B. Threatened. C. Relieved. D. Puzzled. C When you think about who’s responsible for a city’s safety, what people come to mind? Police officers, firefighters or emergency response teams? Would you put your local meteorologist (气象预报员) in this group? That’s the career Ashley Ruiz chose, and she’s now the first female chief meteorologist in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Ruiz predicts the weather for her community. In 2020, a tornado hit Ruiz’s hometown of Chattanooga, Tennessee — and, even closer to home, her house. So she said she knew what a lifesaving job this could be. However, her job isn’t without difficulties. “Hearing people have been injured, like in a big hurricane, is really hard,” she said. “We try our best to predict the weather as best as we can, and we are getting better. But it can always change.” Ruiz talked about the new and changing weather patterns. She said, “We are absolutely seeing changes in weather, with more intense and more frequent storms, which relate to climate change.” Weather is changing everywhere, as the planet warms. There are more frequent droughts, stronger storms, and increasing temperature changes. This makes predicting the weather difficult. Ruiz always knew she was interested in weather and how it affected the world. But her path to a career in meteorology wasn’t easy. She said “I struggled so hard with math and wanted to give up. But I kept pushing and working hard, and now I’m the first woman chief meteorologist in the Baton Rouge TV market. I’m proud of that.” She wants kids to know they should never give up on their education or their dreams. 8. Why was the disaster in Ruiz’s hometown mentioned in the text? A. To call on people to prepare for disasters. B. To introduce Ruiz’s unusual childhood experience. C. To offer a successful example of weather forecast. D. To show Ruiz’s understanding of the work of a meteorologist. 9. What is a challenge of predicting the weather according to the text? A. Climate change. B. People’s injury. C. Poor technology. D. Lack of experience. 10. Which word can best describe Ruiz according to the last paragraph? A. Creative. B. Clever. C. Hard-working. D. World-famous. 11. In which section of a newspaper may the text appear? A. Sports. B. People. C. Education. D. Health. D I was born with a disability (残疾). When I started to go to school, my classmates were always teasing about it. I told them I’d fallen as a baby and cut my lips on a piece of glass. Somehow it seemed more acceptable to have suffered an accident than to have been born different. By seven, I was sure no one outside my own family could ever love me or even like me. And then I entered the second grade, and Mrs. Leonard’s class. She was round, pretty and sweet, with shining brown hair and warm, smiling dark eyes. Everyone loved her. But no one came to love her more than I did. The time came for the annual hearing tests given at our school. I was hardly able to hear anything out of one ear, and wasn’t about to show yet another problem that would single me out as different. So I cheated. During the hearing tests, each child would go to the door of the classroom, turn sideways, close one ear with a finger, and the teacher would whisper something from her desk, which the child would repeat. Then the same thing was done for the other ear. I had discovered in kindergarten that nobody checked to see if the untested ear was being fully covered, so I only pretended to block mine. My turn came. I knew from previous years that the teacher whispered things like “The sky is blue.” or “Do you have new shoes?” I turned my bad ear to her, covering the other with my finger, and gently backed my finger out enough to be able to hear. I waited, and then came the seven words that changed my life forever: “I wish you were my little girl.” 12. What does the underlined phrase “teasing about” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Looking into. B. Caring about. C. Arguing over. D. Laughing at. 13. Why did the author worry about the hearing test? A. She didn’t want to make her disability public. B. She couldn’t understand the teacher’s words. C. She was afraid to make mistakes in the test. D. She didn’t want to disappoint Mrs. Leonard. 14. What can we know about what Mrs. Leonard said? A. It made the girl very discouraged. B. It proved the girl cheated in the test. C. It made a huge difference to the girl. D. It embarrassed the girl immediately. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. A Hearing Test Upsetting a Girl B. Seven Words Changing a Girl’s Life C. A Strict Primary School Teacher D. Clever Ways to Pass a Hearing Test 第二节（共5小题, 每小题2. 5分, 共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。 With one and half years of senior school to go, you’re probably experiencing a mix of emotions: excitement about what the future holds, and maybe anxiety about how to handle the coming exams. Don’t worry! Here are a few things that will help you get through the rest of your senior school. ____16____ This means setting up a system that works for you to keep track of important dates, assignments, and deadlines. This can be as simple as using a planner. In this way, you can stay on top of your work and avoid any last- minute hurry. Manage your time wisely. Learn to balance your academic tasks with extracurricular and social activities. ____17____ For example, you might dedicate Mondays to Thursdays to homework, Fridays to extracurricular activities, and Saturdays to sports and hanging out with friends. Whatever system you choose, just ensure it works for you and helps you stay on track. Keep your grades up. Letting your grades slip during the senior year can be easy. To avoid this, create a study schedule that allows you to focus on one subject at a time.

Instead of having bright fires in winter, she had nothing to burn but dry sticks, which George picked up from under the trees. One fine day in July, his sick mother sent him to the woods. He was to stay there all day, to get as much wood as he could collect. It was a bright, sunny day, and George worked very hard, so by the time the sun was high, he was hot, and wished for a cool place where he might rest and have his meal. While he hunted for a place on the bank he saw among the grass some fine and wild strawberries (草莓). “How good these will be with my bread and butter!” thought George. He set to work eagerly to gather all he could find, and then seated himself by the river. It was a pleasant place, and George felt happy and satisfied. He thought how much his sick mother would like to see him there, and to be there herself, instead of in her dark room in the village. George thought of all this, and just as he was putting the first strawberry to his mouth, he said to himself, “How much Mum would like these!” So he stopped, and put the strawberry back again. “Shall I save them for her?” he said, thinking how much they would happy her, yet still looking at them with a longing eye. “I will eat half, and take the other half to her,” he said at last, and he divided them into two heaps (堆). But each heap looked so small that he put them together again. “I will only taste one,” he thought. As he again put it to his mouth, he saw that he had taken the finest and he put it back. “I will keep them all for her,” he said with great happiness, and he covered them up nicely to take them home. 注意：续写词数应为150左右。 He stood up and started to get more and more wood until the sun was beginning to goes down ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Seeing the wild strawberries, his mum ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
