新蔡县第一高级中学高三2024年12月份月考英语试题 注意事项： 1.答题前请填好自己的姓名、班级、考号等信息; 2.请将答案正确填写在答题卡上。 一、听力(共两节，满分30分)略 二、阅读理解(共两节，共20小题.每小题2.5分，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，共37.5分) A Han Kang, the South Korean author best known for her novel, “The Vegetarian,” was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature on Thursday — the first writer from her country to receive the award. Han, 53, was born in 1970 in Gwangju, South Korea. Her father was also a novelist, but much less successful. The family struggled financially and moved frequently. In a 2016 interview with The Times, Han said her poor childhood “was too much for a little child, but I was all right because I was surrounded by books.” When Han was 9, her family moved to Seoul just months before the Gwangju uprising (起义), when government troops fired on crowds of protesters, killing hundreds. The event shaped her views on humanity’s capacity for violence, Han said in the 2016 interview. Han studied literature at Yonsei University in Korea, and her first published works were poems. Her debut novel (首部小说), “Black Deer,” which came out in 1998, was a mystery about a missing woman. In the 2016 interview, Han said it was around that time that she developed the idea for a short story about a woman who becomes a plant, which she eventually developed into “The Vegetarian.” Following her debut, Han went on to write seven more novels, as well as collections of essays and short stories. Among her other novels are “The White Book,” which was also nominated for the International Booker Prize, and “Greek Lessons,” published in English in2023. Han’s writing is now celebrated in South Korea, but that took some time, she said, and some of her books were initially greeted with bafflement. “The Vegetarian” was received as “very extreme and unusual,” Han said. 1. What can be inferred from the fact that Han Kang said her poor childhood “was too much for a little child, but I was all right because I was surrounded by books”? A. Books helped her endure the hardship of her childhood. B. She had no other entertainment except reading books. C. Reading books made her different from other children. D. She started writing books during her childhood. 2. What does the underlined word “bafflement” in the last paragraph most probably mean? A. Strong support. B. Great confusion. C. High praise. D. Wide acceptance. 3. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To introduce Han Kang’s family background. B. To analyze the themes of Han Kang’s works. C. To present the life and career of Han Kang. D. To compare Han Kang with other Korean writers. 4. Where is the passage probably taken from? A. Biography. B. News. C. Brochure. D. Fiction. 【答案】1. A 2. B 3. C 4. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要介绍了韩国知名作家韩江因其小说《素食者》而荣获诺贝尔文学奖，成为韩国首位获此殊荣的作家。文章详细描述了韩江的成长经历、文学创作历程以及其作品的特点和影响。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段最后一句“In a 2016 interview with The Times, Han said her poor childhood ‘was too much for a little child, but I was all right because I was surrounded by books.’”(在2016年接受《泰晤士报》采访时，韩江说，她贫穷的童年“对一个小孩来说太艰难了，但我很好，因为我有书为伴。”)”由此可以推断出，书籍帮助韩江度过了童年的艰难时期，A项“Books helped her endure the hardship of her childhood.( 书籍帮助她忍受了童年的困苦)”符合文意。故选A项。 【2题详解】 词义猜测题。根据最后一段中的“Han’s writing is now celebrated in South Korea, but that took some time, she said,(她说，韩的作品现在在韩国备受推崇，但这花了一些时间)”以及划线词后面的句子“‘The Vegetarian’ was received as ‘very extreme and unusual,’ Han said.”(《素食者》被认为‘非常极端和不同寻常’）可知，韩江的作品在韩国现在受到赞誉，但是这是经过一段时间的，因为韩江的作品被认为是“非常极端和不同寻常的”，即最初并不被理解或接受，是令人困惑的。划线词与B选项“Great confusion(极大困惑)”为同义词。故选B。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Han Kang, the South Korean author best known for her novel, “The Vegetarian,” was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature on Thursday — the first writer from her country to receive the award.(周四，以小说《素食者》而闻名的韩国作家韩江被授予诺贝尔文学奖，这是韩国第一位获得该奖项的作家)”以及通读全文可知，文章开篇介绍了韩江因其小说《素食者》而荣获诺贝尔文学奖，接下来详细描述了韩江的成长经历、文学创作历程以及其作品的特点和影响。因此，文章的主要目的是介绍韩江的生活和职业生涯。C选项“To present the life and career of Han Kang. (介绍韩江的生活和职业生涯)”符合题意。故选C。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Han Kang, the South Korean author best known for her novel, “The Vegetarian,” was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature on Thursday — the first writer from her country to receive the award.(周四，以小说《素食者》而闻名的韩国作家韩江被授予诺贝尔文学奖，这是韩国第一位获得该奖项的作家)”以及通读全文可知，这是一篇关于韩江荣获诺贝尔文学奖的新闻报道。新闻报道通常发布在新闻类媒体上。B选项“News(新闻)”最符合文章的性质和来源。故选B。 B “Who are you?” asked two men to a third person who had just interrupted their conversation onstage. “I am a national treasure,” he replied with pride and a smile. “A ‘national treasure’? You are...Meng Lan, or Huahua?” they responded uncertainly. That drew a sound of laughing from the audience, for Meng Lan and Huahua are two famous giant pandas, whose photos and videos have become an internet hit. The dialogue was even funnier because it was inserted(插入) into a play about ancient history titled Joyful Songs in Flourishing Age, recently presented at the National Museum of China. The play’s creators said they added in bits of contemporary culture to make it lively and more relatable to today’s audiences. The primary inspiration for the performance also was a figure of fun — an ancient pottery (陶器) statue of a comedian beating a drum. The 56-centimeter-tall statue is characterized by his wide smile and a lively position — he holds a flat drum with one arm and a drumstick in the opposite hand, and he raises a leg in a noticeable movement. The museum’s purpose in hosting the play was to cooperate with other cultural and educational institutions to bring old cultural objects to life. The show was meant to help more people learn not only about the clay figure itself, but also about ancient Chinese art and culture. “The music and many other kinds of Baixi performing arts have been put into the plot.” Yang, a professor at the Communication University of China, says producing the play inspired great creativity among her cooperators and the production was an exploratory effort of the museum to bring about the various presentation of their collections. While they asked for help from researchers at the National Museum of China for historical details, they also added elements of imagination and, especially, pop culture, such as rap and the giant panda craze, to enrich the dialogue and singing and to help people relate to the show. 5. What does “a national treasure” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A. A pottery statue. B. An Internet video. C. A panda. D. A performance. 6. Why was the dialogue put into the play? A To attract younger audiences. B. To make a deeper conversation. C To conduct a simpler discussion. D. To achieve a better understanding. 7. What does Professor Yang think of the show? A. It gets a museum famous again. B. It is a popular talent play. C. It results from a creative exploration. D. It is short of imaginative ideas. 8. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Ancient History Enters University Courses B. Cultural Objects Carry Various Musical Elements C. Creativity Is Needed to Make a Lively Communication D. Modern Humor Is Used to Introduce Ancient Art and Culture 【答案】5. C 6. D 7. C 8. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了中国国家博物馆上演了一部历史剧——《盛世欢歌》，将古代元素和当代文化生动地融合在一起，让人们更好地理解古代艺术和文化。 5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中的““I am a national treasure,” he replied with pride and a smile. “A ‘national treasure’? You are...Meng Lan, or Huahua?” they responded uncertainly.(“我是国宝，”他自豪地笑着回答。“‘国宝’？你是……萌兰，还是花花？”他们不确定地回答)”和第二段“That drew a sound of laughing from the audience, for Meng Lan and Huahua are two famous giant pandas, whose photos and videos have become an internet hit.(这引起了观众的笑声，因为萌兰和花花是两只著名的大熊猫，它们的照片和视频在互联网上大受欢迎)”可推出，“a national treasure”指的是大熊猫。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The dialogue was even funnier because it was inserted (插入) into a play about ancient history titled Joyful Songs in Flourishing Age, recently presented at the National Museum of China. The play’s creators said they added in bits of contemporary culture to make it lively and more relatable to today’s audiences.(这段对话更有趣，因为它被插入了一部关于古代历史的戏剧《盛世欢歌》中，该剧最近在中国国家博物馆上演。该剧的创作者表示，他们加入了一些当代文化元素，使其更加生动，更贴近当今的观众)”可知，这段对话被加进了这部剧中，让这部剧更加生动，贴近当今的观众。由此推知，这样做有助于让观众更好地理解。故选D。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Yang, a professor at the Communication University of China, says producing the play inspired great creativity among her cooperators and the production was an exploratory effort of the museum to bring about the various presentation of their collections.(杨是中国传媒大学的一名教授，她说，制作这部戏剧激发了合作者的巨大创造力，这部作品是博物馆为展示他们的藏品所做的探索性努力)”可知，这部剧激发了合作者的巨大创造力，展示了博物馆的探索性努力。由此可知，这部剧源自创造性的探索。故选C。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“The dialogue was even funnier because it was inserted (插入) into a play about ancient history titled Joyful Songs in Flourishing Age, recently presented at the National Museum of China. The play’s creators said they added in bits of contemporary culture to make it lively and more relatable to today’s audiences.(这段对话更有趣，因为它被插入了一部关于古代历史的戏剧《盛世欢歌》中，该剧最近在中国国家博物馆上演。该剧的创作者表示，他们加入了一些当代文化元素，使其更加生动，更贴近当今的观众)”、第四段中的“The museum’s purpose in hosting the play was to cooperate with other cultural and educational institutions to bring old cultural objects to life. The show was meant to help more people learn not only about the clay figure itself, but also about ancient Chinese art and culture.(博物馆举办该剧的目的是与其他文化和教育机构合作，让古老的文物栩栩如生。这部剧旨在帮助更多的人不仅了解泥塑本身，还了解中国古代艺术和文化)”并结合全文内容可知，本文用关于国宝的笑话引出古代历史剧《盛世欢歌》，讲述了这部剧让古代文物生动地展现给人们，让人们了解中国古代艺术和文化。由此可知，D项“用现代笑话来介绍古代艺术和文化”适合作本文标题。故选D。 C The first formal count of polar bears in waters between the United States and Russia indicates they’re doing better than some of their cousins elsewhere. Polar bears are listed as a threatened species because of reduced sea ice due to climate change. But university and federal researchers estimate a healthy population of nearly 3,000 animals in the Chukchi Sea off Alaska’s northwest coast, according to a study published in Scientific Reports. “In the short term, it's absolutely good news,” said lead author Eric Regehr. In the long term, it doesn’t mean the Chukchi Sea bear population will not be affected. “Polar bears need ice to hunt seals, and the ice is likely to decline until the problem of climate change is addressed,” Regehr said. “Polar bears spend most of their lives on sea ice. Less sea ice means less productive time to hunt ice seals, more time on shore and longer swims.” The study shows there is variation around the world in the effects of sea ice loss on polar bears. “Some subpopulations are already declining while others are still doing OK,” Regehr said. Fewer cubs (幼熊) were surviving into their second year and adult males weighed less and had smaller skulls (头骨). Researcher Steven Amstrup said the trends were consistent with changes in nutritional status likely associated with declines in Sea ice. A more recent study by researcher Karyn Rode found that Chukchi bears spend more time on shore and have almost 30 fewer days to hunt seals on ice than 20 years ago. However, that doesn’t appear to have affected the population. Polar bears have an amazing ability to build fat reserves, and the Chukchi’s copious seal population apparently allows bears to compensate for the loss of hunting time. 9. What news is reported at the beginning of the text? A. Polar bears are severely affected by sea ice loss. B. Polar bears have been listed as a threatened species. C. A large polar bear population has been found in the Chukchi Sea. D. The melting of Arctic sea ice may lead to severe climate change. 10. What might Regehr think of the Chukchi bears? A. They might be found in other areas. B. They might be endangered in the near future. C. They might help scientists fight climate change. D. They might decrease in numbers in the distant future. 11. Which of the following is the effect of sea ice loss on polar bears? A. They have to stay in water. B. They have to live in groups. C. They are becoming lazier than before. D. They are suffering from changes in their nutrition. 12. What does the underlined word “copious” in the last paragraph mean? A. Decreasing. B. Plentiful. C. Diverse. D. Adult. 【答案】9. C 10. D 11. D 12. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。由于气候变化导致海冰减少，北极熊被列为濒危物种。但根据发表在《科学报告》上的一项研究，大学和联邦研究人员估计，阿拉斯加西北海岸外的楚科奇海有近3000只健康的动物。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“But university and federal researchers estimate a healthy population of nearly 3,000 animals in the Chukchi Sea off Alaska's northwest coast, according to a study published in Scientific Reports.（但根据发表在《科学报告》上的一项研究，大学和联邦研究人员估计，阿拉斯加西北海岸外的楚科奇海有近3000只健康的动物。）”可知，文章开头报道了一项新的发现：楚科奇海生活着大量健康的北极熊。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“‘In the long term, it doesn’t mean the Chukchi Sea bear population will not be affected. ’Polar bears need ice to hunt seals, and the ice is likely to decline until the problem of climate change is addressed,’ Regehr said.‘Polar bears spend most of their lives on sea ice. Less sea ice means less productive time to hunt ice seals, more time on shore and longer swims.’ （‘从长远来看，这并不意味着楚科奇海熊的数量不会受到影响。’雷格尔说：‘北极熊需要冰来捕猎海豹，而在气候变化问题得到解决之前，冰很可能会减少。’‘北极熊一生中大部分时间都生活在海冰上。海冰减少意味着捕猎冰海豹的时间减少，在岸上的时间更长，游泳的时间更长。’）”可知，虽然楚科奇海的北极熊短期内不会受到环境变化的影响，但是由于北极熊大部分时间都是在冰上度过，海冰的不断减少会严重影响它们的生存。因此可推知，Regehr认为如果环境问题得不到解决，未来楚科奇海的北极熊数量也可能会减少。故选D。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Fewer cubs were surviving into their second year and adult males weighed less and had smaller skulls. Researcher Steven Amstrup said the trends were consistent with changes in nutritional status likely associated with declines in Sea ice.（存活到第二年的幼崽越来越少，成年雄崽体重更轻，头骨也更小。研究人员史蒂文·阿姆斯特鲁普说，这种趋势与营养状况的变化是一致的，这可能与海冰的减少有关。）”可知，由于海冰减少，北极熊的营养状况会受到影响，幼熊难以存活、成年公熊体重减轻且头骨变小。故选D。 【12题详解】 词义猜测题。根据画线词下文“allows bears to compensate for the loss of hunting time（让北极熊弥补狩猎时间的损失）”可推知，楚科奇海的海豹数量很多，可以弥补狩猎时间变少的问题。plentiful表示“众多的”，故选B。 D Poems for high schoolers If The poem is written by Rudyard Kipling. In this poem, a father talks of several values and advises his son to live with moderation and constraint (克制) to continuously maintain calm and avoid overreacting. The poem is full of positivity for personal growth in difficult times. Anyone struggling with a lack of desire in life can still benefit from it. The Laughing Heart The poem advises readers to take control of their own life and make the most of their time. At the beginning of the poem, Charles Bukowski talks about how one shouldn’t let others take their “light” out of them. Bukowski says that once you begin to show up for your own life, “amazing” things will begin to happen to you. The Laughing Heart, which focuses on risk and making decisions in life, is attractive to youth as it serves as an encouragement to them to stand up for themselves in difficult times. Fifth Grade Autobiography Through the poem, Rita Dove discusses the good memories of her most significant life influences as a child. By using language and pictures, she recalls how great and significant her family is as she looks at a photograph. Based on Dove’s poetry, an excellent activity would be to ask children to select a photo that’s significant to them and write their own Fifth Grade Autobiography. The Rose That Grew From Concrete The poem is about achieving our life goals despite the challenges we experience along the road. In this poem, Tupac Shakur compares himself to a neglected rose who went from being a marginalized (被边缘化的) teenager to one of the most influential singers the world has ever known. The poem will inspire readers to focus and realize their dreams. 13. What is the Rudyard Kipling’s poem about? A. Difficulties in life. B. Teenager education. C. Emotional expression. D. Parental advice. 14. How does the poet start The Laughing Heart? A. By describing a scene. B. By making comparisons. C. By offering suggestions. D. By explaining a problem. 15. What do the last two poems have in common? A. They share good memories of the poets. B. They are based on the poets’ own life. C. They are about important life skills. D. They stress the importance of dreams. 【答案】13. D 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四首适宜高中生阅读的诗歌。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一首诗歌介绍中的第二句“In this poem, a father talks of several values and advises his son to live with moderation and constraint to continuously maintain calm and avoid overreacting. (在这首诗中，一位父亲谈到了几个价值观，并建议儿子适度克制地生活，不断保持冷静，避免反应过度。)”可知，Rudyard Kipling的诗歌是关于一位父亲的建议的。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二首诗歌介绍中的第二句“At the beginning of the poem, Charles Bukowski talks about how one shouldn’t let others take their “light” out of them. (在这首诗的开头，Charles Bukowski谈到了一个人不应该让别人夺走他们的“光”。)”可知，The Laughing Heart这首诗歌是通过提供建议来展开。故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三首诗歌介绍中的第一句“Through the poem, Rita Dove discusses the good memories of her most significant life influences as a child. (通过这首诗，Rita Dove讨论了她小时候最重要的生活影响的美好回忆。)”和第四首诗歌介绍中的第二句“In this poem, Tupac Shakur compares himself to a neglected rose who went from being a marginalized teenager to one of the most influential singers the world has ever known. (在这首诗中，Tupac Shakur将自己比作一朵被忽视的玫瑰，从一个被边缘化的青少年变成了世界上最有影响力的歌手之一。)”可知，最后的这两首诗歌都是基于诗人自己的生活写的。故选B项。 第二节七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分，共12.5分) It’s safe to say that with the many stressors that make up our day-to-day lives, we could all use a little more light and a little more calm. Enter “saving the day” — a mood-boosting idea. ___16___ You just need to find some peace amidst the chaos. If you spend the whole day working, you can do one thing that reclaims the day as your own. Saving the day can be any activity and doesn’t have to be time-consuming. By doing something that you love, you’re not only making the day have some space of your own but also improving your mood. Similarly, it can help you cope with stress and nurture your well-being. ___17___ As therapists put it, “saving the day” has serious mental health benefits. ___18___ Bad days will exist whether or not you “save the day”. But if you do something that adds some relief and clarity and joy to your day, it can not only make the day a little better but help you connect with yourself, too. “Could I end the day on the note that’s like, ‘Oh, well, it wasn’t a good day, but I took care of myself?’” said Danica Harris, a somatic therapist, “This idea improves trust and safety with the self. ” Saving the day can help prepare you for hard times, too. ___19___ And since life isn’t easy, such days will inevitably happen. If you have a bad day but do two things to “save the day”, you may go to bed feeling like it wasn’t a great day. But you’ll also know that you did everything you could to make it OK. By contrast, if you are going to bed and you’ve done nothing for yourself, you could feel like it was a bad day. The lack of self-care can lead to self-criticism and a sense of failure. ___20___ In conclusion, saving the day is a powerful tool for managing stress and enhancing mental health. It’s a reminder that even on the most challenging days, there’s always something you can do to make a positive impact on your well-being. A. This concept is simple. B. It seems like a groundbreaking concept. C. It can also help you find a sense of fulfillment. D. Saving the day allows you to establish trust in yourself. E. Saving the day can be of great benefit to physical and mental health. F. Remember that taking care of yourself is not a luxury but a necessity. G. In other words, it can help you become more ready to handle future bad days. 【答案】16. A 17. C 18. D 19. G 20.

The parents, Juan and Maria, had three children: two boys and a girl. They lived in a small house made of bamboo, surrounded by many trees and the sound of the nearby river. Juan and Maria lived a happy life with their three children: Miguel, Jose and Ana. The eldest son, Miguel, was a hardworking young man who helped his father with the farm work. He was responsible and always took care of his younger brother and sister. The couple always told their children that they were happy as long as the family was together. Though Jose and Ana were too young to understand that, Miguel, who treasured a photo of his family, bore that in mind. One day, while the family was having dinner, they heard a loud knock on the door. It was the village chief, who had come to deliver some bad news: The village was in danger of being flooded due to heavy rain, and they needed to evacuate (撤离) immediately. Juan and Maria quickly gathered their children and some essentials, and they set off towards the evacuation center. Before leaving for the center, Miguel took the precious family photo in a hurry. The journey was long and full of danger, with the rain pouring down heavily and the wind beating them violently. The children were scared and tired, but Juan and Maria held their hands to reassure them, telling them that everything was going to be alright. When they finally reached the evacuation center, they were greeted by other families who had also been forced to leave their homes. The center was crowded and uncomfortable, but the family was grateful to have a roof over their heads and some food to eat. Days turned into weeks, and Juan and Maria grew restless. They missed their home and their farm, and they were worried about what would happen to their crops. Several weeks later, the day came when the floodwaters slowly receded (消退). 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Juan and Maria decided to take their children back home. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “No!

The family started the journey back, filled with both hope and anxiety. The road back was still difficult, with patches of mud and debris blocking their way, but they pressed on, eager to return to their familiar surroundings. As they approached their village, they saw signs of recovery, and some were already working on repairing their homes. The sight brought a sense of relief and joy to Juan and Maria’s hearts. “No! We still have something precious,” said Miguel. As they entered their house, which had suffered some damage, Miguel ran to his room and retrieved the family photo he had taken with them during the evacuation. He handed it to his parents, a reminder of their unity and love that had carried them through the tough times. Looking at the photo, Juan and Maria felt a deep sense of gratitude. They realized it was the bond they shared as a family that truly mattered. They hugged Miguel tightly, knowing that no matter what challenges they faced, they could overcome them together. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了一个菲律宾小村庄里的五口之家在面对洪水灾害时的故事。这个家庭原本过着幸福的生活，但有一天村庄遭遇洪水威胁，必须立即撤离。在撤离过程中，Miguel带上了珍贵的家庭照片。他们在疏散中心度过了艰难的时光，之后随着洪水慢慢消退，一家人决定回家。回到家中，Miguel再次拿出了那张家庭照片，提醒父母家人之间的团结和爱是他们度过难关的重要力量。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Juan和Maria决定把他们的孩子带回家。”可知，第一段可描写Juan和Maria决定带着孩子回家的经过以及回到家乡后看到人们在灾后重建的景象。 ②由第二段首句内容““不！我们还有一些珍贵的东西，”Miguel说。”可知，第二段可描写Miguel认为他们还有宝贵的东西，并从房间拿出家庭照片，以及描写家人们的感悟。 2.续写线索： 决定回家——路上困难——回家喜悦——发现照片——感悟亲情 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①决定：decide/make a decision/resolve ②接近：approach/get close to ③递给：hand to/pass on/deliver to 情绪类 ①喜悦：joy/delight/happiness ②珍贵：precious/valuable/rare 【点睛】[高分句型1] The road back was still difficult, with patches of mud and debris blocking their way, but they pressed on, eager to return to their familiar surroundings.（运用了with的复合结构） [高分句型2] They realized it was the bond they shared as a family that truly mattered.（运用了强调句的结构） 47. 假定你是李华，你喜爱的一个英文网站正在进行“The Low-carbon Lifestyle Around Me”为话题的论坛活动。请你用英语写一篇短文放在论坛上，内容包括： 1. 你对低碳生活的理解； 2. 你和家人是如何做的。 注意： 1. 写作词数应为80左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The Low-carbon Lifestyle Around Me ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The Low-carbon Lifestyle Around Me “Low-carbon lifestyle ” is a concept aiming to lower the carbon dioxide emission in living as much as possible.

Han, 53, was born in 1970 in Gwangju, South Korea. Her father was also a novelist, but much less successful. The family struggled financially and moved frequently. In a 2016 interview with The Times, Han said her poor childhood “was too much for a little child, but I was all right because I was surrounded by books.” When Han was 9, her family moved to Seoul just months before the Gwangju uprising (起义), when government troops fired on crowds of protesters, killing hundreds. The event shaped her views on humanity’s capacity for violence, Han said in the 2016 interview. Han studied literature at Yonsei University in Korea, and her first published works were poems. Her debut novel (首部小说), “Black Deer,” which came out in 1998, was a mystery about a missing woman. In the 2016 interview, Han said it was around that time that she developed the idea for a short story about a woman who becomes a plant, which she eventually developed into “The Vegetarian.” Following her debut Han went on to write seven more novels, as well as collections of essays and short stories. Among her other novels are “The White Book,” which was also nominated for the International Booker Prize, and “Greek Lessons,” published in English in2023. Han’s writing is now celebrated in South Korea, but that took some time, she said, and some of her books were initially greeted with bafflement. “The Vegetarian” was received as “very extreme and unusual,” Han said. 1. What can be inferred from the fact that Han Kang said her poor childhood “was too much for a little child, but I was all right because I was surrounded by books”? A. Books helped her endure the hardship of her childhood. B. She had no other entertainment except reading books. C. Reading books made her different from other children. D. She started writing books during her childhood. 2. What does the underlined word “bafflement” in the last paragraph most probably mean? A Strong support. B. Great confusion. C. High praise. D. Wide acceptance. 3. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To introduce Han Kang’s family background. B. To analyze the themes of Han Kang’s works. C To present the life and career of Han Kang. D. To compare Han Kang with other Korean writers. 4. Where is the passage probably taken from? A. Biography. B. News. C. Brochure. D. Fiction. B “Who are you?” asked two men to a third person who had just interrupted their conversation onstage. “I am a national treasure,” he replied with pride and a smile. “A ‘national treasure’? You are...Meng Lan, or Huahua?” they responded uncertainly. That drew a sound of laughing from the audience, for Meng Lan and Huahua are two famous giant pandas, whose photos and videos have become an internet hit. The dialogue was even funnier because it was inserted(插入) into a play about ancient history titled Joyful Songs in Flourishing Age, recently presented at the National Museum of China. The play’s creators said they added in bits of contemporary culture to make it lively and more relatable to today’s audiences. The primary inspiration for the performance also was a figure of fun — an ancient pottery (陶器) statue of a comedian beating a drum. The 56-centimeter-tall statue is characterized by his wide smile and a lively position — he holds a flat drum with one arm and a drumstick in the opposite hand, and he raises a leg in a noticeable movement. The museum’s purpose in hosting the play was to cooperate with other cultural and educational institutions to bring old cultural objects to life. The show was meant to help more people learn not only about the clay figure itself, but also about ancient Chinese art and culture. “The music and many other kinds of Baixi performing arts have been put into the plot.” Yang, a professor at the Communication University of China, says producing the play inspired great creativity among her cooperators and the production was an exploratory effort of the museum to bring about the various presentation of their collections. While they asked for help from researchers at the National Museum of China for historical details, they also added elements of imagination and, especially, pop culture, such as rap and the giant panda craze, to enrich the dialogue and singing and to help people relate to the show. 5. What does “a national treasure” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A. A pottery statue. B. An Internet video. C. A panda. D. A performance. 6. Why was the dialogue put into the play? A. To attract younger audiences. B. To make a deeper conversation. C. To conduct a simpler discussion. D. To achieve a better understanding. 7. What does Professor Yang think of the show? A. It gets a museum famous again. B. It is a popular talent play. C. It results from a creative exploration. D. It is short of imaginative ideas. 8. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Ancient History Enters University Courses B. Cultural Objects Carry Various Musical Elements C. Creativity Is Needed to Make a Lively Communication D. Modern Humor Is Used to Introduce Ancient Art and Culture C The first formal count of polar bears in waters between the United States and Russia indicates they’re doing better than some of their cousins elsewhere. Polar bears are listed as a threatened species because of reduced sea ice due to climate change. But university and federal researchers estimate a healthy population of nearly 3,000 animals in the Chukchi Sea off Alaska’s northwest coast, according to a study published in Scientific Reports. “In the short term, it's absolutely good news,” said lead author Eric Regehr. In the long term, it doesn’t mean the Chukchi Sea bear population will not be affected. “Polar bears need ice to hunt seals, and the ice is likely to decline until the problem of climate change is addressed,” Regehr said. “Polar bears spend most of their lives on sea ice. Less sea ice means less productive time to hunt ice seals, more time on shore and longer swims.” The study shows there is variation around the world in the effects of sea ice loss on polar bears. “Some subpopulations are already declining while others are still doing OK,” Regehr said. Fewer cubs (幼熊) were surviving into their second year and adult males weighed less and had smaller skulls (头骨). Researcher Steven Amstrup said the trends were consistent with changes in nutritional status likely associated with declines in Sea ice. A more recent study by researcher Karyn Rode found that Chukchi bears spend more time on shore and have almost 30 fewer days to hunt seals on ice than 20 years ago. However, that doesn’t appear to have affected the population. Polar bears have an amazing ability to build fat reserves, and the Chukchi’s copious seal population apparently allows bears to compensate for the loss of hunting time. 9. What news is reported at the beginning of the text? A. Polar bears are severely affected by sea ice loss. B. Polar bears have been listed as a threatened species. C. A large polar bear population has been found in the Chukchi Sea. D. The melting of Arctic sea ice may lead to severe climate change. 10. What might Regehr think of the Chukchi bears? A. They might be found in other areas. B. They might be endangered in the near future. C. They might help scientists fight climate change. D. They might decrease in numbers in the distant future. 11. Which of the following is the effect of sea ice loss on polar bears? A. They have to stay in water. B. They have to live in groups. C. They are becoming lazier than before. D. They are suffering from changes in their nutrition. 12. What does the underlined word “copious” in the last paragraph mean? A. Decreasing. B. Plentiful. C. Diverse. D. Adult. D Poems for high schoolers If The poem is written by Rudyard Kipling. In this poem, a father talks of several values and advises his son to live with moderation and constraint (克制) to continuously maintain calm and avoid overreacting. The poem is full of positivity for personal growth in difficult times. Anyone struggling with a lack of desire in life can still benefit from it. The Laughing Heart The poem advises readers to take control of their own life and make the most of their time. At the beginning of the poem, Charles Bukowski talks about how one shouldn’t let others take their “light” out of them. Bukowski says that once you begin to show up for your own life, “amazing” things will begin to happen to you. The Laughing Heart, which focuses on risk and making decisions in life, is attractive to youth as it serves as an encouragement to them to stand up for themselves in difficult times. Fifth Grade Autobiography Through the poem, Rita Dove discusses the good memories of her most significant life influences as a child. By using language and pictures, she recalls how great and significant her family is as she looks at a photograph. Based on Dove’s poetry, an excellent activity would be to ask children to select a photo that’s significant to them and write their own Fifth Grade Autobiography. The Rose That Grew From Concrete The poem is about achieving our life goals despite the challenges we experience along the road. In this poem, Tupac Shakur compares himself to a neglected rose who went from being a marginalized (被边缘化的) teenager to one of the most influential singers the world has ever known. The poem will inspire readers to focus and realize their dreams. 13. What is the Rudyard Kipling’s poem about? A Difficulties in life. B. Teenager education. C. Emotional expression. D. Parental advice. 14. How does the poet start The Laughing Heart? A. By describing a scene. B. By making comparisons. C. By offering suggestions. D. By explaining a problem. 15. What do the last two poems have in common? A. They share good memories of the poets. B. They are based on the poets’ own life. C. They are about important life skills. D. They stress the importance of dreams. 第二节七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分，共12.5分) It’s safe to say that with the many stressors that make up our day-to-day lives, we could all use a little more light and a little more calm. Enter “saving the day” — a mood-boosting idea. ___16___ You just need to find some peace amidst the chaos. If you spend the whole day working, you can do one thing that reclaims the day as your own. Saving the day can be any activity and doesn’t have to be time-consuming. By doing something that you love, you’re not only making the day have some space of your own but also improving your mood. Similarly, it can help you cope with stress and nurture your well-being. ___17___ As therapists put it, “saving the day” has serious mental health benefits. ___18___ Bad days will exist whether or not you “save the day”. But if you do something that adds some relief and clarity and joy to your day, it can not only make the day a little better but help you connect with yourself, too. “Could I end the day on the note that’s like, ‘Oh, well, it wasn’t a good day, but I took care of myself?’” said Danica Harris, a somatic therapist, “This idea improves trust and safety with the self. ” Saving the day can help prepare you for hard times, too. ___19___ And since life isn’t easy, such days will inevitably happen. If you have a bad day but do two things to “save the day”, you may go to bed feeling like it wasn’t a great day. But you’ll also know that you did everything you could to make it OK. By contrast, if you are going to bed and you’ve done nothing for yourself, you could feel like it was a bad day. The lack of self-care can lead to self-criticism and a sense of failure. ___20___ In conclusion, saving the day is a powerful tool for managing stress and enhancing mental health. It’s a reminder that even on the most challenging days, there’s always something you can do to make a positive impact on your well-being. A. This concept is simple. B. It seems like a groundbreaking concept. C. It can also help you find a sense of fulfillment. D. Saving the day allows you to establish trust in yourself. E.

The parents, Juan and Maria, had three children: two boys and a girl. They lived in a small house made of bamboo, surrounded by many trees and the sound of the nearby river. Juan and Maria lived a happy life with their three children: Miguel, Jose and Ana. The eldest son, Miguel, was a hardworking young man who helped his father with the farm work. He was responsible and always took care of his younger brother and sister. The couple always told their children that they were happy as long as the family was together. Though Jose and Ana were too young to understand that, Miguel, who treasured a photo of his family, bore that in mind. One day, while the family was having dinner, they heard a loud knock on the door. It was the village chief, who had come to deliver some bad news: The village was in danger of being flooded due to heavy rain, and they needed to evacuate (撤离) immediately. Juan and Maria quickly gathered their children and some essentials, and they set off towards the evacuation center. Before leaving for the center, Miguel took the precious family photo in a hurry. The journey was long and full of danger, with the rain pouring down heavily and the wind beating them violently. The children were scared and tired, but Juan and Maria held their hands to reassure them, telling them that everything was going to be alright. When they finally reached the evacuation center, they were greeted by other families who had also been forced to leave their homes. The center was crowded and uncomfortable, but the family was grateful to have a roof over their heads and some food to eat. Days turned into weeks, and Juan and Maria grew restless. They missed their home and their farm, and they were worried about what would happen to their crops. Several weeks later, the day came when the floodwaters slowly receded (消退). 注意：1. 续写词数应150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Juan and Maria decided to take their children back home. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “No!
