Sometimes we just want to develop some new friendships. Here are some of the best apps for you to make new friends. Atleto Research shows that exercising with a friend promotes more motivation and healthier lifestyle habits. Atleto is an app that builds on this “exercise contagion (传染)” phenomenon by bringing together athletic people to take exercise and organize group activities. You can choose from over 40 sports and find your community of people who like to be in a sweat. Friender Studies show that we’re eager to find people similar to us. Suppose you’re sick of boring surface-level conversations. Then Friender solves that problem quickly with an algorithm (算法) that only matches you based on your favorite activities and interests. This friend-finding app makes it easy to get into conversations that you care about. If you don’t have many hobbies to type into an app, one of the easiest ways to start is to try out new bobbies. PawDate Dogs arc great companions, but sometimes it’s nice to talk to humans, too. This app connects pet owners to meet up at dog parks or walk with their pups. You get to set up doggie play dates and find new friends at the same time. It’s a win-win. Skout Skout started back in 2007 to help people make new friends. The matches are based on geographical distances and preferences. It’s perfect for meeting people while traveling moving and entering a new chapter of life. Skout is able to discover people directly by checking into a location and seeing who else on the app is there. 1. Who is Atleto intended for? A. Friendship seekers who like walking dogs. B. Friendship seekers who like playing sports. C. Friendship seekers who specialize in infection treatment. D. Friendship seekers who specialize in community service. 2. How can people make friends with Friender? A. By wrestling with algorithm issues. B. By forming unconventional habits. C. By sharing their favorite activities. D.

There is one particular blue flower that has always caught my eyes. I’ve noticed that it blooms only in the morning hours, the afternoon sun is too warm for it. Every day for approximately two weeks, I see those beautiful flowers. This spring, I started a wildflower garden in our yard. I can look through the kitchen window while doing the dishes and see the flowers. I’ve often thought that those lovely blue flowers from the ditch would look great in that bed alongside other wildflowers. Everyday I drove past the flowers thinking, “I’ll stop on my way home and dig them,” “Gee, I don’t want to get my good clothes dirty”…Whatever the reason, I never stopped to dig them. My husband even gave me a folding shovel one year in my trunk to be used for that expressed purpose. One day on my way home from work, I was saddened to see that the highway department had mowed the ditches and the pretty blue flowers were gone. I thought to myself, “Way to go, you waited too long. You should have done it when you first saw them blooming this spring.” A week ago we were shocked and saddened to learn that my oldest sister-in-law bas a terminal brain tumor. She is 20 years older than my husband and unfortunately, because of age and distance, we haven’t been as close as we all would have liked. I couldn’t help but see the connection between the pretty blue flowers and the relationship between my husband’s sister and us. I do believe that God has given us some time left to plant some wonderful memories that will bloom every year for us. And yes, if I see the blue flowers again, you can bet I’ll stop and transplant them to my wildflower garden. 4. What might have prevented the author from transplanting the blue flowers? A. That she was too busy with work. B. That she didn’t have the proper tools. C. That she was concerned about her clothes getting soiled. D. That she thought the flowers would look greater in that pitch. 5. Why did the author associate the blue flowers with her sister-in-law’s situation? A. To use the story of the blue flowers to comfort her sister-in-law. B. To indicate her sister-in-law is as beautiful and fragile as the flowers. C. To blame herself for not taking care of the flowers and her sister-in-law. D. To regret not spending more time with her sister-in-law and transplanting flowers earlier. 6. If the author were a person who always takes action in time, ____________. A. she would always be blessed with the luck to seize opportunities B. the blue flowers would grow better in her garden than in the ditch C. the illness of her sister-in-law would have been detected at an early stage D. she’d have been more active in building a relationship with her sister-in-law 7. Which of the following would be the most appropriate title for this passage? A. Blue Blossoms: Mirrors of Family’s Imperfections B. Blue Flowers: Windows to Family’s Missed Moments C. Blue Flowers: Memories of Short-lived Blooming Period D. Blue Blossoms: Links between Nature and Family’s Destiny 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍的是作者从错过移植路边短暂盛开的蓝花中，领悟到珍惜眼前美好与亲人的重要性，并决心不再因迟疑而错失创造珍贵回忆的机会。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Gee, I don’t want to get my good clothes dirty(哎呀，我可不想把我的好衣服弄脏了)”可知，作者担心自己的衣服会被弄脏，所以没有移栽那些花。故选C。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“She is 20 years older than my husband and unfortunately, because of age and distance, we haven’t been as close as we all would have liked. I couldn’t help but see the connection between the pretty blue flowers and the relationship between my husband’s sister and us. I do believe that God has given us some time left to plant some wonderful memories that will bloom every year for us.(她比我丈夫大20岁，不幸的是，因为年龄和距离的关系，我们并没有像我们所希望的那样亲密。我不由自主地看到了美丽的蓝色花朵与我大姑子和我们之间的关系。我坚信上帝给了我们一些时间，让我们能够种下一些美好的记忆，这些记忆每年都会在我们心中绽放。)”可知，作者把蓝色的花和她大姑子的处境联系在一起是为了后悔没有多陪陪大姑子，没有早点移栽花。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“I couldn’t help but see the connection between the pretty blue flowers and the relationship between my husband’s sister and us. I do believe that God has given us some time left to plant some wonderful memories that will bloom every year for us.(我不由自主地看到了美丽的蓝色花朵与我大姑子和我们之间的关系。我坚信上帝给了我们一些时间，让我们能够种下一些美好的记忆，这些记忆每年都会在我们心中绽放。)”可知，如果作者是一个总是及时采取行动的人，她会更积极地与她的大姑子建立关系。故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是倒数第二段“A week ago we were shocked and saddened to learn that my oldest sister-in-law bas a terminal brain tumor. She is 20 years older than my husband and unfortunately, because of age and distance, we haven’t been as close as we all would have liked. I couldn’t help but see the connection between the pretty blue flowers and the relationship between my husband’s sister and us. I do believe that God has given us some time left to plant some wonderful memories that will bloom every year for us.(一周前，我们得知我的大姑子患上了晚期脑瘤，震惊之余又倍感哀伤。她比我丈夫大20岁，不幸的是，因为年龄和距离的关系，我们并没有像我们所希望的那样亲密。我不由自主地看到了美丽的蓝色花朵与我大姑子和我们之间的关系。我坚信上帝给了我们一些时间，让我们能够种下一些美好的记忆，这些记忆每年都会在我们心中绽放。)”和最后一段“And yes, if I see the blue flowers again, you can bet I’ll stop and transplant them to my wildflower garden.(是的，如果我再次看到蓝色的花，你可以打赌，我会停下来把它们移载到我的野花花园里。)”可知，本文主要讲的是作者在一年的春天见到了一种蓝色的小花，但是作者一直没有把它移到自己的花园中，因为作者认为自己还有时间，但是有一天作者突然发现这些花不见了，由此作者想到了自己的大姑子，作者与大姑子的关系一直不亲近，得知大姑子得了脑瘤作者才觉得懊悔，因此最恰当的标题是B选项“Blue Flowers: Windows to Family’s Missed Moments(蓝色花朵：家庭怀念时刻的窗口)”。故选B。 C In February 1970, a ragbag of hippies and activists gathered in Vancouver, Canada to discuss a planned nuclear test on the Alaskan island of Amchitka. They eventually agreed to sail to the test site and protest against the explosion in person. At the end of the meeting, the chairman raised two fingers to the room and shouted “Peace!”. After a brief pause, one young attendee responded with a now immortal line: “Let’s make that a green peace”. Over the last 50 years, the environmental movement has become so closely associated with the colour green that it’s almost impossible to see a green poster, label or recycling bag without thinking about our planet’s future. But though that connection is the product of a very recent crisis, its origins go back some way. We have identified green with nature and its processes for thousands of years. Indeed, the very word “green” comes from the ancient Proto-Indo-European word ghre, meaning “grow”. The human species, which emerged in the verdant forests and savannas of Africa about 300,000 years ago, has a special biological bond with green. Our eyes might even have evolved specifically to see the chlorophyll (叶绿素) in plants. With the advent of agriculture, we started to use green as a symbol for nature and its processes. The ancient Egyptians, who were farming the banks of the Nile from about 8000BCE, likewise identified their crops with green. Their term for the colour was wadj, which also meant “flourish”. All over the world, people communed with nature through green materials. Jade, for instance, was used to make objects that would guarantee a successful harvest. The Maya buried their leaders with jade death masks for precisely this reason. Western societies took longer to embrace the beauty of nature, and by extension, green. But by the second half of the Middle Ages, European writers were infusing the colour with their new- found faith in the landscape, connecting it to fertility, growth, spring, hope and joy. By the end of the 17th Century, English poets were beginning to realise, as we do today, that green spaces can be profoundly therapeutic (有疗效的). While the future of our planet remains uncertain, many scientists are convinced that leaves, and the miraculous green pigment (色素) that lurks within them, will prove to be a decisive weapon in our battle against climate change. This is as it should be. After all, for early farmers waiting for shoots to emerge from the soil, and for modern-day activists determined to bring about a sustainable future, green was, and is, a colour of hope—the hope that, after a long, cold winter or a drought-ridden summer, the arrival of chlorophyll will promise a new beginning. 8. What happened after hippies and activists ended the gathering in Vancouver in 1970? A. They launched a peace campaign. B. They discussed a planned nuclear test. C. They spread an immortal peace slogan. D. They prevented all the government's nuclear tests. 9. What is a similarity between the ancient Egyptians and the Maya regarding green? A. Both cultures built a complex web of religious beliefs. B. They both associated the color green with their leaders. C. Both used the color green as a symbol of military power. D. They both had specific symbols for green related to harvest. 10. What can be inferred according to the text? A. The Proto-Indo-Europeans were the first to start environmental protection. B. Ancient humans had a more advanced visual system than modern humans. C. Western societies went through a slow and progressive recognition of nature. D. Language evolution reflects the links between green and the environmental movement. 11. How do you understand the underlined phrase “a decisive weapon” in the last paragraph? A. Green is a color that makes people feel good but has no practical value. B. Green is a symbol used by environmental activists to promote their ideas. C The pigment can directly absorb all greenhouse gases and solve the climate problem. D. The pigment in leaves and the symbolic associations of the colour green with hope count. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。它结合了历史叙述、文化分析和科学解释，以阐述绿色与环境保护、自然以及人类历史之间的紧密联系。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“In February 1970, a ragbag of hippies and activists gathered in Vancouver, Canada to discuss a planned nuclear test on the Alaskan island of Amchitka. They eventually agreed to sail to the test site and protest against the explosion in person. At the end of the meeting, the chairman raised two fingers to the room and shouted “Peace! ”. After a brief pause, one young attendee responded with a now immortal line: “Let’s make that a green peace”.(1970年2月，一群嬉皮士和激进分子聚集在加拿大温哥华，讨论在阿拉斯加阿姆奇特卡岛进行核试验的计划。他们最终同意乘船前往试验场，亲自抗议爆炸。会议结束时，主席向房间里举起两根手指，喊道：“和平！”。在短暂的停顿之后，一位年轻的与会者回应说：“让我们实现绿色和平。”)”可知，嬉皮士和激进分子在1970年结束温哥华的集会后发起了一场和平运动。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The ancient Egyptians, who were farming the banks of the Nile from about 8000BCE, likewise identified their crops with green. Their term for the colour was wadj, which also meant “flourish”.(从公元前8000年开始在尼罗河沿岸耕作的古埃及人同样用绿色来标识他们的作物。他们对这种颜色的称呼是“wadj”，也有“繁盛”的意思)”以及第五段“All over the world, people communed with nature through green materials. Jade, for instance, was used to make objects that would guarantee a successful harvest. The Maya buried their leaders with jade death masks for precisely this reason.(在世界各地，人们通过绿色材料与自然交流。例如，玉石被用来制作保证丰收的物品。玛雅人用玉死亡面具埋葬他们的领袖正是出于这个原因)”可知，古埃及人和玛雅人都将绿色与丰收联系起来，古埃及人称绿色为“wadj”，意为“繁荣”，而玛雅人则将玉作为保证丰收的材料。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“Western societies took longer to embrace the beauty of nature, and by extension, green. But by the second half of the Middle Ages, European writers were infusing the colour with their new-found faith in the landscape, connecting it to fertility, growth, spring, hope and joy. By the end of the 17th Century, English poets were beginning to realise, as we do today, that green spaces can be profoundly therapeutic (有疗效的).(西方社会花了更长的时间才接受自然之美，进而接受绿色。但到了中世纪下半叶，欧洲作家将他们对风景的新信仰注入了这种颜色，将其与肥沃、生长、春天、希望和喜悦联系起来。到17世纪末，英国诗人开始意识到，就像我们今天所做的那样，绿色空间可以具有深刻的治疗作用)”可推知，西方社会经历了一个缓慢而渐进的认识自然的过程。故选C项。 【11题详解】 词句猜测题。根据后文“After all, for early farmers waiting for shoots to emerge from the soil, and for modern-day activists determined to bring about a sustainable future, green was, and is, a colour of hope—the hope that, after a long, cold winter or a drought-ridden summer, the arrival of chlorophyll will promise a new beginning.(毕竟，对于早期等待嫩芽从土壤中冒出来的农民，对于决心实现可持续未来的现代活动家来说，绿色过去是，现在也是希望的颜色——希望在漫长寒冷的冬天或干旱的夏天之后，叶绿素的到来将预示着一个新的开始)”可知，绿色过去是，现在也是希望的颜色，叶绿素的到来将预示着一个新的开始，推知a decisive weapon指的是叶子中的色素以及绿色所代表的希望。故选D项。 D Ancient builders across the world created structures that are still standing today, thousands of years later. Roman engineers built thick concrete sea barriers, for example. And Chinese builders raised walls against invaders. But there are many recent structures that are already starting to fail. The concrete that makes up much of our modern world lasts around 50 to 100 years. A growing number of scientists have been studying materials from long ago. They are breaking apart pieces of buildings and reading historical texts hoping to learn how they have stood for thousands of years. The research has turned up a surprising list of materials that were mixed into old buildings. They include tree bark, volcanic ash, rice, beer and even urine (尿液). These unexpected materials could have the ability to get stronger over time and “heal” cracks when they form. Figuring out how to copy these features could have real impacts today. While our modern concrete has the strength to hold up very tall skyscrapers (摩天大楼) and heavy infrastructure (基础结构), it cannot compete with the endurance of these ancient materials. With the rising threats of climate change, there is a growing call to make construction more sustainable. A recent UN report estimates that the built environment is responsible for more than a third of carbon dioxide emissions worldwide. Cement (水泥) production alone makes up more than 7 percent of those emissions. Is ancient Roman concrete better? In places where seawater has been hitting structures for ages, you will find concrete “basically the way it was when it was poured 2,000 years ago,” said John Oleson, an archaeologist at the University of Victoria in Canada. Most modern concrete starts with Portland cement, a powder made by heating limestone (石灰岩) and clay to super-high temperatures and breaking them up. That cement is mixed with water to create a paste. Then, materials like rock and gravel are added. Records from ancient builders show the Roman process was similar. The ancient builders mixed materials like burnt limestone and volcanic sand with water and rocks, creating chemical reactions to tie everything together. Now, scientists think they have found an important reason why some Roman concrete has held up structures for thousands of years. The ancient material has an unusual power to repair itself. Exactly how is not yet clear, so scientists are starting to find reasons why. 12. How does the author introduce the topic? A. By making a comparison. B. By using a metaphor. C. By listing statistics. D. By telling stories. 13. Which aspect of ancient Roman building materials surprises scientists? A. Their high-end technology. B. Their processing procedure. C. Their amazing flexibility. D. Their necessary ingredients. 14. Which might be the impact of studying ancient building materials? A. Reducing the greenhouse effects. B. Innovating the construction process. C. Increasing the mass production of cement. D. Removing the threats of the climate change. 15. What does the author intend to tell us? A. The urgency of tackling the environmental crisis. B. The secrets of long-standing ancient Roman buildings. C. The similarities between modern and Roman concrete. D. The breakthrough in repairing ancient Roman architecture. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了科学家研究了世界上一些古代建筑屹立上千年而不倒的原因。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Ancient builders across the world created structures that are still standing today, thousands of years later. (世界各地的古代建设者创造了数千年后仍然屹立不倒的建筑。)”和“But there are many recent structures that are already starting to fail. The concrete that makes up much of our modern world lasts around 50 to 100 years. (但有许多最近的建筑已经开始倒塌。构成我们现代世界大部分的混凝土可以使用大约50到100年。)”可知，第一段对比了古代建筑和现代建筑的持久性，古代建筑能够屹立上千年，而现代建筑则只能持续50到100年，接着第二段前两句“A growing number of scientists have been studying materials from long ago. They are breaking apart pieces of buildings and reading historical texts hoping to learn how they have stood for thousands of years. (越来越多的科学家一直在研究很久以前的材料。他们正在拆开建筑碎片，阅读历史文献，希望了解它们是如何屹立数千年的。)”讲述了科学家研究为什么古代建筑能够持久。由此可推测出，第一段进行对比是为了引出接下来的话题。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The research has turned up a surprising list of materials that were mixed into old buildings. They include tree bark, volcanic ash, rice, beer and even urine (尿液). (这项研究发现了一份令人惊讶的旧建筑材料清单。它们包括树皮、火山灰、大米、啤酒甚至尿液。)”可知，科学家们发现了旧建筑材料中令人惊讶的成分。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“Figuring out how to copy these features could have real impacts today. While our modern concrete has the strength to hold up very tall skyscrapers (摩天大楼) and heavy infrastructure (基础结构), it cannot compete with the endurance of these ancient materials. With the rising threats of climate change, there is a growing call to make construction more sustainable. A recent UN report estimates that the built environment is responsible for more than a third of carbon dioxide emissions worldwide. Cement (水泥) production alone makes up more than 7 percent of those emissions.(弄清楚如何复制这些特征可能会对今天产生真正的影响。虽然我们的现代混凝土的强度可以支撑非常高的摩天大楼和重型基础设施，但它无法与这些古老材料的耐久性竞争。随着气候变化的威胁日益加剧，越来越多的人呼吁提高建筑的可持续性。联合国最近的一份报告估计，建筑环境占全球二氧化碳排放量的三分之一以上。仅水泥生产就占这些排放的7%以上。)”可知，研究古代建筑材料的影响有助于减少温室气体。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，根据文中的“structures”“materials”“modern concrete”“Roman concrete”等关键词和最后一段中的“Now, scientists think they have found an important reason why some Roman concrete has held up structures for thousands of years.(现在，科学家们认为他们已经找到了一些罗马混凝土支撑结构数千年的重要原因。)”可知，本文主要围绕古代建筑持久的原因展开，讲述了古代和现代建筑的持久性和建筑材料，由此可推测出，文章的目的是揭示古老的古罗马建筑的秘密。故选B。 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。 It’s no surprise that starting a business is challenging. Despite the struggles of starting a business, it is also one of the most rewarding experiences. Here are some important lessons about sarting a company and seeing it succeed. Surround yourself with experts ___16___ Oftentimes, trying to take on all of the work yourself results in failure. By hiring a team of experts in their respective industries, you have myriad perspectives and a wealth of knowledge that can help you better understand the needs of customers and, ultimately, create the best product possible. Care about more than your role Whether you’re an accounting manager of a CFO, you have to care about more than your role. For example, an engineer should care about more than just the computer science aspect—they should also want to give input on user experience or design. ___17___ ___18___ I always find myself most fired up when talking about the market and competition. We work in an inherently competitive capitalist society but that’s what’s fun about starting and growing a company. It’s critical that you are competitive as a team. A company’s ability to win a deal is the full output of everyone’s work. ___19___ If you compete against each other, you won’t have a seamless work environment and you can kiss those deals goodbye. Marketing is an underrated tool Earlier in my career as a CEO, I did not see marketing as an integral aspect of a successful company. ___20___ However, as soon as we had our first marketer come on, everything improved. I didn’t have to spend time doing something I’m not good at. It helped us develop more accurate and powerful messaging while also ensuring it was delivered to the right people. A. Be competitive. B. Focus on competition. C. You yourselves are not experts. D. No one person is good at everything. E. It’s because I didn’t understand its purpose. F. If everyone cooperates, you’ll blow the competition away. G. This helps build a team that is always involved and looking out for each other. 【答案】16. D 17. G 18. A 19. F 20. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是关于创业和公司经营的一些重要经验和教训。 【16题详解】 空后“By hiring a team of experts in their respective industries, you have myriad perspectives and a wealth of knowledge that can help you better understand the needs of customers and, ultimately, create the best product possible.(通过聘请各自行业的专家团队，您拥有无数的视角和丰富的知识，可以帮助您更好地了解客户的需求，并最终创造出最好的产品。)”说明了要聘请各自行业的专家团队，D选项“No one person is good at everything.(没有人能样样精通。)”说明没有人能样样都精通，和空后的要聘请各行各业的专家团队相呼应，因此引起下文，符合语境，故选D。 【17题详解】 空前“Whether you’re an accounting manager of a CFO, you have to care about more than your role. For example, an engineer should care about more than just the computer science aspect—they should also want to give input on user experience or design.(无论你是会计经理还是首席财务官，你必须关心的不仅仅是你的角色。例如，工程师应该关心的不仅仅是计算机科学方面，他们还应该对用户体验或设计提供意见。)”说明了不仅仅要关心自己的角色，空格处应该说这么做有什么好处，G选项“This helps build a team that is always involved and looking out for each other.(这有助于建立一个始终参与并互相照顾的团队。)”说明了不仅关心自己的角色的好处，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选G。 【18题详解】 空格处是本段小标题，由空后“I always find myself most fired up when talking about the market and competition. We work in an inherently competitive capitalist society but that’s what’s fun about starting and growing a company. It’s critical that you are competitive as a team.(谈到市场和竞争，我总是觉得自己最兴奋。我们生活在一个竞争激烈的资本主义社会，但这正是创办和发展一家公司的乐趣所在。作为一个团队，你的竞争力是至关重要的。)”可知，本段主要讲的是要有竞争力，A选项“Be competitive.(有竞争力。)”说明了要有竞争力，概括了本段内容，可作为小标题，故选A。 【19题详解】 空前“A company’s ability to win a deal is the full output of everyone’s work.(一个公司赢得交易的能力是每个人工作的全部成果。)”说明了一个公司赢得交易的能力是每个人工作的全部成果，也就是把每个人的工作要聚集在一起，F选项“If everyone cooperates, you’ll blow the competition away.(如果大家都合作，你就会打败竞争对手。)”说明了如果大家合作就能打败对手，也是强调凝聚每个人的工作的重要性，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选F。 【20题详解】 空前“Earlier in my career as a CEO, I did not see marketing as an integral aspect of a successful company.(在我担任首席执行官的早期，我并不认为营销是一家成功公司不可或缺的一部分。)”说明在早期作者并不认为营销是一家成功公司不可或缺的一部分，空格处应该解释原因，E选项“It’s because I didn’t understand its purpose.(那是因为我不明白它的目的。)”说明了作者不认为营销是一家成功公司不可或缺的一部分的原因，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选E。 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, 满分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。 Dale Carnegie rose from the unknown of a Missouri farm to international fame because he found a way to fill a universal human need.

I won the B Division long jump and was a good sprinter (短跑运动员). As a result, I was chosen to represent the school in the long jump and relay events at the District Sports Meet. Before the sports meet, I had put in a lot of hard work and dedication during the training sessions. I woke up early every morning to go for runs and did countless drills to improve my technique. My teammates and I supported and encouraged each other during training, pushing ourselves to do better and achieve our goals. The meet lasted two days, I had no events scheduled for the first day. So I kept myself busy by watching the others compete. Large tents were provided for the young competitors on one side of the track. Despite being assigned the last tent that was furthest from the track, I made the best of the situation by decorating it with our school colors and creating a supportive atmosphere. The next day, I was getting ready for my events. The long jump was scheduled for the early afternoon, followed by the 8×50m relay later in the afternoon. I thought I was a pretty good jumper, but as the competition began, I realized I was vastly outclassed. We finished our jumps, and I came in fourth place, just missing out on a medal. That was disappointing, but I reminded myself that we still had a chance in the 8×50m relay, for which I was assigned to run the fifth leg. The race date arrived. We filed into our assigned spots and prepared for the race. After a tense minute or so, I heard the starter’s gun go off. When the first runners took off, I watched nervously and excitedly as my team runners kept up with the others. As they got closer, I realized we were at least in second place. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 My turn arrived and I took the baton (接力棒) cleanly and began my run. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As a result, I left the meet empty-handed. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: My turn arrived and I took the baton (接力棒) cleanly and began my run. The air rushed past me as I moved closer to the next runner. Then disaster struck! I saw a boy run across the track into my path out of nowhere. I couldn’t get away from him fast enough. We were sent somersaulting over him after colliding with a crunch. Because I was young and agile, I was able to quickly pick myself up and continue the race. However, the collision cost us valuable time. I handed the baton to the next runner. I knew everything was lost when he ran with all his might, but it was too late. We’d blown our chance at a medal. As a result, I left the meet empty-handed. As a result, we just assumed it was bad luck. I, for one, felt terrible for letting the team down, but what was done was done, and we had no choice but to accept it. Anyway, it had been an eventful but unsatisfying day for me. And I learned about failure and success and how to deal with them, and I am grateful for the lessons. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者小学的时候非常积极地参加体育和比赛，因此被选中代表学校参加地区运动会的单人跳和接力赛。比赛当天，作者单人跳只获得了第四名，无缘奖牌。而接力赛上又因为突发状况也错失奖牌。通过这次经历，作者学到了失败和成功以及如何应对它们，并很感激这些教训。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“到我了。我干净利落地接过接力棒，开始跑步。”可知，第一段可描写作者跑步过程中遇到的突发情况，以及突发情况导致作者错失奖牌。 ②由第二段首句内容“结果，我两手空空地离开了比赛。”可知，第二段可描写作者赛后的遗憾以及学到的教训。 2.续写线索：接棒——跑——意外——继续跑——无缘奖牌——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①靠近：move closer to /approach ②摆脱：get away from /keep away from ③递：hand/pass 情绪类 ①沮丧的：down /disappointed/upset ②感激的：grateful /thankful 【点睛】[高分句型1]Because I was young and agile, I was able to quickly pick myself up and continue the race.（运用了because引导的原因状语从句） [高分句型2]I, for one, felt terrible for letting the team down, but what was done was done, and we had no choice but to accept it.（运用了what引导的主语从句） 1-5 BABAC 6-10 BABBC 11-15 BBCCA 16-20 ABCCA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2024-2025学年高二上学期12月学情调研 英语试题 第一部分 听力 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.

Sometimes we just want to develop some new friendships. Here are some of the best apps for you to make new friends. Atleto Research shows that exercising with a friend promotes more motivation and healthier lifestyle habits. Atleto is an app that builds on this “exercise contagion (传染)” phenomenon by bringing together athletic people to take exercise and organize group activities. You can choose from over 40 sports and find your community of people who like to be in a sweat. Friender Studies show that we’re eager to find people similar to us. Suppose you’re sick of boring surface-level conversations. Then Friender solves that problem quickly with an algorithm (算法) that only matches you based on your favorite activities and interests. This friend-finding app makes it easy to get into conversations that you care about. If you don’t have many hobbies to type into an app, one of the easiest ways to start is to try out new bobbies. PawDate Dogs arc great companions, but sometimes it’s nice to talk to humans, too. This app connects pet owners to meet up at dog parks or walk with their pups. You get to set up doggie play dates and find new friends at the same time. It’s a win-win. Skout Skout started back in 2007 to help people make new friends. The matches are based on geographical distances and preferences. It’s perfect for meeting people while traveling moving and entering a new chapter of life. Skout is able to discover people directly by checking into a location and seeing who else on the app is there. 1. Who is Atleto intended for? A. Friendship seekers who like walking dogs. B. Friendship seekers who like playing sports. C. Friendship seekers who specialize in infection treatment. D. Friendship seekers who specialize in community service. 2. How can people make friends with Friender? A. By wrestling with algorithm issues. B. By forming unconventional habits. C. By sharing their favorite activities. D. By talking with like-minded people. 3. Which app can help the user find new friends quickly at a new place? A. Atleto. B. Friender. C. PawDate. D. Skout. B Each spring brings a new blossom of wild flowers in the ditches along the highway I travel daily to work. There is one particular blue flower that has always caught my eyes. I’ve noticed that it blooms only in the morning hours, the afternoon sun is too warm for it. Every day for approximately two weeks, I see those beautiful flowers. This spring, I started a wildflower garden in our yard. I can look through the kitchen window while doing the dishes and see the flowers. I’ve often thought that those lovely blue flowers from the ditch would look great in that bed alongside other wildflowers. Everyday I drove past the flowers thinking, “I’ll stop on my way home and dig them,” “Gee, I don’t want to get my good clothes dirty”…Whatever the reason, I never stopped to dig them. My husband even gave me a folding shovel one year in my trunk to be used for that expressed purpose. One day on my way home from work, I was saddened to see that the highway department had mowed the ditches and the pretty blue flowers were gone. I thought to myself, “Way to go, you waited too long. You should have done it when you first saw them blooming this spring.” A week ago we were shocked and saddened to learn that my oldest sister-in-law bas a terminal brain tumor. She is 20 years older than my husband and unfortunately, because of age and distance, we haven’t been as close as we all would have liked. I couldn’t help but see the connection between the pretty blue flowers and the relationship between my husband’s sister and us.

Blue Blossoms: Links between Nature and Family’s Destiny C In February 1970, a ragbag of hippies and activists gathered in Vancouver, Canada to discuss a planned nuclear test on the Alaskan island of Amchitka. They eventually agreed to sail to the test site and protest against the explosion in person. At the end of the meeting, the chairman raised two fingers to the room and shouted “Peace!”. After a brief pause, one young attendee responded with a now immortal line: “Let’s make that a green peace”. Over the last 50 years, the environmental movement has become so closely associated with the colour green that it’s almost impossible to see a green poster, label or recycling bag without thinking about our planet’s future. But though that connection is the product of a very recent crisis, its origins go back some way. We have identified green with nature and its processes for thousands of years. Indeed, the very word “green” comes from the ancient Proto-Indo-European word ghre, meaning “grow”. The human species, which emerged in the verdant forests and savannas of Africa about 300,000 years ago, has a special biological bond with green. Our eyes might even have evolved specifically to see the chlorophyll (叶绿素) in plants. With the advent of agriculture, we started to use green as a symbol for nature and its processes. The ancient Egyptians, who were farming the banks of the Nile from about 8000BCE, likewise identified their crops with green. Their term for the colour was wadj, which also meant “flourish”. All over the world, people communed with nature through green materials. Jade, for instance, was used to make objects that would guarantee a successful harvest. The Maya buried their leaders with jade death masks for precisely this reason. Western societies took longer to embrace the beauty of nature, and by extension, green. But by the second half of the Middle Ages, European writers were infusing the colour with their new- found faith in the landscape, connecting it to fertility, growth, spring, hope and joy. By the end of the 17th Century, English poets were beginning to realise, as we do today, that green spaces can be profoundly therapeutic (有疗效的). While the future of our planet remains uncertain, many scientists are convinced that leaves, and the miraculous green pigment (色素) that lurks within them, will prove to be a decisive weapon in our battle against climate change. This is as it should be. After all, for early farmers waiting for shoots to emerge from the soil, and for modern-day activists determined to bring about a sustainable future, green was, and is, a colour of hope—the hope that, after a long, cold winter or a drought-ridden summer, the arrival of chlorophyll will promise a new beginning. 8. What happened after hippies and activists ended the gathering in Vancouver in 1970? A. They launched a peace campaign. B. They discussed a planned nuclear test. C. They spread an immortal peace slogan. D. They prevented all the government's nuclear tests. 9. What is a similarity between the ancient Egyptians and the Maya regarding green? A. Both cultures built a complex web of religious beliefs. B. They both associated the color green with their leaders. C. Both used the color green as a symbol of military power. D. They both had specific symbols for green related to harvest. 10. What can be inferred according to the text? A. The Proto-Indo-Europeans were the first to start environmental protection. B. Ancient humans had a more advanced visual system than modern humans. C. Western societies went through a slow and progressive recognition of nature. D. Language evolution reflects the links between green and the environmental movement. 11. How do you understand the underlined phrase “a decisive weapon” in the last paragraph? A. Green is a color that makes people feel good but has no practical value. B. Green is a symbol used by environmental activists to promote their ideas. C. The pigment can directly absorb all greenhouse gases and solve the climate problem. D. The pigment in leaves and the symbolic associations of the colour green with hope count. D Ancient builders across the world created structures that are still standing today, thousands of years later. Roman engineers built thick concrete sea barriers, for example. And Chinese builders raised walls against invaders. But there are many recent structures that are already starting to fail. The concrete that makes up much of our modern world lasts around 50 to 100 years. A growing number of scientists have been studying materials from long ago. They are breaking apart pieces of buildings and reading historical texts hoping to learn how they have stood for thousands of years. The research has turned up a surprising list of materials that were mixed into old buildings. They include tree bark, volcanic ash, rice, beer and even urine (尿液). These unexpected materials could have the ability to get stronger over time and “heal” cracks when they form. Figuring out how to copy these features could have real impacts today. While our modern concrete has the strength to hold up very tall skyscrapers (摩天大楼) and heavy infrastructure (基础结构), it cannot compete with the endurance of these ancient materials. With the rising threats of climate change, there is a growing call to make construction more sustainable. A recent UN report estimates that the built environment is responsible for more than a third of carbon dioxide emissions worldwide. Cement (水泥) production alone makes up more than 7 percent of those emissions. Is ancient Roman concrete better? In places where seawater has been hitting structures for ages, you will find concrete “basically the way it was when it was poured 2,000 years ago,” said John Oleson, an archaeologist at the University of Victoria in Canada. Most modern concrete starts with Portland cement, a powder made by heating limestone (石灰岩) and clay to super-high temperatures and breaking them up. That cement is mixed with water to create a paste. Then, materials like rock and gravel are added. Records from ancient builders show the Roman process was similar. The ancient builders mixed materials like burnt limestone and volcanic sand with water and rocks, creating chemical reactions to tie everything together. Now, scientists think they have found an important reason why some Roman concrete has held up structures for thousands of years. The ancient material has an unusual power to repair itself. Exactly how is not yet clear, so scientists are starting to find reasons why. 12. How does the author introduce the topic? A. By making a comparison. B. By using a metaphor. C. By listing statistics. D. By telling stories. 13. Which aspect of ancient Roman building materials surprises scientists? A. Their high-end technology. B. Their processing procedure. C Their amazing flexibility. D. Their necessary ingredients. 14. Which might be the impact of studying ancient building materials? A. Reducing the greenhouse effects. B. Innovating the construction process. C. Increasing the mass production of cement. D. Removing the threats of the climate change. 15. What does the author intend to tell us? A. The urgency of tackling the environmental crisis. B. The secrets of long-standing ancient Roman buildings. C. The similarities between modern and Roman concrete. D. The breakthrough in repairing ancient Roman architecture. 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。 It’s no surprise that starting a business is challenging.

I won the B Division long jump and was a good sprinter (短跑运动员). As a result, I was chosen to represent the school in the long jump and relay events at the District Sports Meet. Before the sports meet, I had put in a lot of hard work and dedication during the training sessions. I woke up early every morning to go for runs and did countless drills to improve my technique. My teammates and I supported and encouraged each other during training, pushing ourselves to do better and achieve our goals. The meet lasted two days, I had no events scheduled for the first day. So I kept myself busy by watching the others compete. Large tents were provided for the young competitors on one side of the track. Despite being assigned the last tent that was furthest from the track, I made the best of the situation by decorating it with our school colors and creating a supportive atmosphere. The next day, I was getting ready for my events. The long jump was scheduled for the early afternoon, followed by the 8×50m relay later in the afternoon. I thought I was a pretty good jumper, but as the competition began, I realized I was vastly outclassed. We finished our jumps, and I came in fourth place, just missing out on a medal. That was disappointing, but I reminded myself that we still had a chance in the 8×50m relay, for which I was assigned to run the fifth leg. The race date arrived. We filed into our assigned spots and prepared for the race. After a tense minute or so, I heard the starter’s gun go off. When the first runners took off, I watched nervously and excitedly as my team runners kept up with the others. As they got closer, I realized we were at least in second place. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 My turn arrived and I took the baton (接力棒) cleanly and began my run. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As a result, I left the meet empty-handed. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1-5 BABAC 6-10 BABBC 11-15 BBCCA 16-20 ABCCA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
