What led me to join this remarkable organization was a deeply personal experience. Seven years ago, my father was in the end-of-life stage. He had wanted to be at home during his final moments, so I arranged for him to return home. He spent only one more night there, but he wasn’t alone. A Marie Curie nurse was by our side. Facing the emotions that come with knowing a loved one is at the end of their life can be difficult. Having a nurse with us made it easier to deal with these feelings. That’s when I made the decision to join Marie Curie. You might assume that being with family members during the end of one’s life would be a sad experience. But what may surprise you is that it’s not. The family, in my experience, make the most of the time they have and understand that their loved one is dying, but it’s not a time for sorrow; it’s a time of togetherness and warmth. I remember one particular family—three sisters—and the fourth was in the end-of-life stage. When I arrived, she was unaware, and I knew she might not make it through the night. But sitting with the sisters, talking about their childhood, and sharing photos. I felt it was a special time. They mentioned that their sister had asked for peaches ‘n’ cream earlier that day, and they made sure she got it. We lost her that night. The sisters expected it, they thanked me, and it was a comforting experience. Our role is to support families and the individuals who are dying. We can’t change the matter of necessity, but we can make-a difference. We provide support through the early stages of sorrow. 4. Why did the author join Marie Curie? A. To memorize her father. B. To deal with her sad feelings. C. To provide help and services. D. To express her thanks to nurses. 5. What did the author do before the youngest sister died? A. She accompanied her family. B. She took photos for her. C. She told stories to her sisters. D. She comforted her parents. 6. What does the author think of her job? A. Challenging. B. Rewarding. C. Eye-opening. D. Time-consuming. 7. What does the author intend to express at last? A. The support of family counts. B. Helping others is helping yourself. C. It’s never late to change ourselves. D. End-of-life company means a lot. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者加入Marie Curie的原因和见闻以及感受。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Having a nurse with us made it easier to deal with these feelings. That’s when I made the decision to join Marie Curie.(有护士陪伴我们，我们就能更轻松地应对这些感受。正是在那时，我决定加入玛丽居里计划。)”可推知，作者加入Marie Curie是为了和之前的护理人员一样去帮助别人，故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段中“But sitting with the sisters, talking about their childhood, and sharing photos. I felt it was a special time.(但和姐妹们坐在一起，谈论她们的童年，分享照片。我觉得这是一个特别的时刻)”可知，在最小的妹妹去世之前，作者陪伴她的家人，故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The sisters expected it, they thanked me, and it was a comforting experience.(姐妹们期待着这一点，她们感谢我，这是一次令人欣慰的经历)”可知，作者认为她的工作得到了别人的认可，因此她认为自己的工作是值得的，故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“We can’t change the matter of necessity, but we can make-a difference. We provide support through the early stages of sorrow.(我们无法改变现实，但我们可以有所作为。我们在悲伤的早期阶段提供支持)”可推知，作者认为在事情无法挽回时给予早期的陪伴是意义重大的，故选D。 C One of the best parts of travel is always the food. Or, more specifically, the junk food. It’s a delight people are unlikely to get to experience during the pandemic. But in one corner of the internet, hungry people are keeping the joy of international snacks alive. On SnackExchange, users trade the delights of their homeland by mail. First, you find someone on the board to swap with. You and your partner then post each other a box full of local finest processed foods, eventually uploading photos of your haul(收获) on the board for others to see. First created in 2010, SnackExchange’s membership now totals 102,000. Most come to experience snacks they can’t find at home. For the users who take part in snack exchanges, it’s a way to learn more about the world. For Meghan Quallick, a snack swapper from California, part of the motivation for swapping with an Australian was to get a specific item: Cadbury Black Forest bars. A co-worker of hers had eaten the chocolate bars on a trip to Australia in years past and fallen in love with them, but was then unable to source them at home. Quallick’s snack partner included 10 bars of the chocolate in her package. “To get some and bring them to her was pretty exciting,” Quallick said. “My colleague had tears in her eyes.” Snack exchanges do come with obvious financial disadvantages. Part of the process is to agree on a budget before you swap – on average that’s around the US$40-50 mark. But you should be prepared to spend twice as much on shipping as the actual snacks. Occasionally swappers get scammed(欺骗) by partners who don’t deliver on their end of the deal. Often, the snack exchanges are about more than just the food. Heather Clarke, a snack swapper from Melbourne says, “They’re often cultural exchanges as well. You get people going, ‘Can you tell me what this is?’” Often, users enclose(随信附上) instructions on how to best consume the snacks. Going the extra mile is in the spirit of the community. 8. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The history of snack exchanges. B. Why people love to exchange snacks. C. How users exchange snacks on SnackExchange. D. The influence the pandemic has on snack exchanges. 9. Why did Quallick’s colleague cry? A. She quarreled with Quallick. B. She failed to find a swapper herself. C. She found the snack she ate before online. D. She got what she desired to eat from Quallick. 10. What is a disadvantage of snack exchanges? A. Swappers easily get cheated. B. Swappers have to spend more on shipping. C. Swappers seldom find exactly what they want. D. Swappers may spend more time than usual shopping. 11. What does Clarke say about snack exchanges? A. They should be improved. B. They promote cultural exchanges. C. They are lacking in community spirit. D. They should have detailed guides from swappers. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了网络平台SnackExchange让全球零食爱好者跨越疫情限制，通过邮寄交换家乡特色小吃，体验国际美食乐趣，促进文化交流。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“On SnackExchange, users trade the delights of their homeland by mail. First, you find someone on the board to swap with. You and your partner then post each other a box full of local finest processed foods, eventually uploading photos of your haul(收获) on the board for others to see.(在SnackExchange上，用户通过邮件交换自己家乡的美味特产。首先，你需在布告牌上找到一个交换伙伴。然后，你和你的伙伴会互相寄送一盒装满本地精选加工食品的包裹，并最终将你们的收获照片上传到布告牌上供其他人观看)”可知，第二段主要讲述了用户如何在SnackExchange平台上互寄零食。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“A co-worker of hers had eaten the chocolate bars on a trip to Australia in years past and fallen in love with them, but was then unable to source them at home. Quallick’s snack partner included 10 bars of the chocolate in her package. “To get some and bring them to her was pretty exciting,” Quallick said. “My colleague had tears in her eyes.””(她的一位同事几年前在澳大利亚旅行时吃过这种巧克力，并爱上了它们，但后来无法在家里找到它们。Quallick的零食伙伴在她的包装里放了10块巧克力。Quallick说：“能得到一些并把它们带给她真是太令人兴奋了。我的同事眼里噙着泪水”)”可知，Quallick的同事是因为从Quallick那里得到了她渴望已久的巧克力而流泪。故选D项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“But you should be prepared to spend twice as much on shipping as the actual snacks. (但你应该做好准备，运输费用可能会是实际零食费用的两倍)”可知，零食交换的一个缺点是交换者需要在运费上花费比实际零食多得多的钱。故选B项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Heather Clarke, a snack swapper from Melbourne says, “They’re often cultural exchanges as well. You get people going, ‘Can you tell me what this is?’” Often, users enclose(随信附上) instructions on how to best consume the snacks. Going the extra mile is in the spirit of the community. (来自墨尔本的零食交换者Heather Clarke表示：“这些交换往往也是文化上的交流。你会看到有人问：‘你能告诉我这是什么吗？’”通常，用户还会附上如何最佳享用这些零食的指南。这种额外的努力正是社区精神的体现)”可知，Heather Clarke认为零食交换不仅仅是关于食物，很多时候也促进文化交流。故选B项。 D One of the first things people do when they use Google Street View is check out the place where they live. So when Tawanda Kanhema moved to the United States in 2009, he looked up his hometown of Harare, Zimbabwe's capital city, on the map of panoramic (全景的) images. But there was nothing to see. Harare wasn't on Street View. And neither was the rest of Zimbabwe. As Kanhema looked around more, many Western cities were on the platform, but only a handful of African countries were. “I found it quite jarring that a lot of countries in the region were not on the map, ” he says. As services like Google Maps have increasingly become our primary map of the world, being left out of features like Street View can have consequences. Street View helps people with everyday tasks like checking out a new commute (通勤) route, choosing a restaurant or deciding where to go on vacation. The platform also provides a large amount of data used by Google to improve its mapping services and by local governments looking to make improvements to an area. For Kanhema, the omission (遗漏) highlighted a digital divide between his hometown and major Western cities. So he decided to try to get Zimbabwe on Street View. Kanhema, who works as a product manager and is a photographer in his spare time, volunteered to carry Google's Street View equipment to map what amounted to 2, 000 miles of his home country. “We should do more to make sure that those communities are represented,” Kanhema says. In 2018, Kanhema took a two-week hike through Zimbabwe with the equipment. There was a speedboat ride across the Zambezi River and a trip through a national park. Most of his time, though, was spent driving down the streets of Harare and the highways that connect Zimbabwe's major cities. All this is a lot of work, but for Kanhema, it's a hobby. Google doesn't pay him. Kanhema spent around $5, 000 of his own money to travel across Zimbabwe for the project. “What motivates me is the constant reminder these companies need to pay attention to those parts of the world,” he says. 12. What does the underlined word “jarring” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Touching. B. Interesting. C. Surprising. D. Frightening. 13. What does the author mainly talk about in paragraph 3? A. The development of Google Maps. B. The significant role of Street View. C. The application of Street View in poor areas. D. The benefits mapping services brought to Google. 14. What made Kanhema work as a Google's volunteer? A. His interest in traveling. B. His preparation for his own business. C. His eagerness to be a professional photographer. D. His worries about the exclusion of his hometown. 15. Which of the following best describes Kanhema? A. Calm and kind. B. Far-sighted and imaginative. C. Dedicated and patriotic. D. Open-minded and courageous. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Tawanda Kanhema发现谷歌地图上没有他的家乡Zimbabwe，他决定自己拍摄并上传到谷歌地图上，让世界了解他的家乡。 【12题详解】 词义猜测题。根据文章第二段划线词前文的内容“Harare wasn't on Street View. And neither was the rest of Zimbabwe. As Kanhema looked around more, many Western cities were on the platform, but only a handful of African countries were.( Harare不在街景地图上。Zimbabwe的其他地区也不在。当Kanhema环顾四周时，许多西方城市都在这个平台上，但只有少数非洲国家在这个平台上。)”可知，划线词前文提到Kanhema发现谷歌地图上有很多西方国家的城市，而很少有非洲国家的城市，这其中就包括他的家乡Zimbabwe，故划线词与C项“Surprising (令人惊讶的)”意思相近，他发现很多这个地区的国家都不在地图上，这令他感到很惊讶，故选C。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“As services like Google Maps have increasingly become our primary map of the world, being left out of features like Street View can have consequences. Street View helps people with everyday tasks like checking out a new commute (通勤) route, choosing a restaurant or deciding where to go on vacation. The platform also provides a large amount of data used by Google to improve its mapping services and by local governments looking to make improvements to an area.(随着像谷歌地图这样的服务越来越多地成为我们了解世界的主要途径，被排除在街景等特色功能之外可能会产生后果。街景视图帮助人们完成日常任务，比如查看新的通勤路线、选择餐厅或决定去哪里度假。该平台还提供了大量数据，谷歌利用这些数据改进其地图服务，而地方政府则利用这些数据改善某个地区。)”可知，本段主要讲述的是街景地图的重要性，能帮助人们完成日常任务，政府可以利用其提供的数据来改善某个地区。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段中“For Kanhema, the omission (遗漏) highlighted a digital divide between his hometown and major Western cities. So he decided to try to get Zimbabwe on Street View. Kanhema, who works as a product manager and is a photographer in his spare time, volunteered to carry Google's Street View equipment to map what amounted to 2, 000 miles of his home country.(对Kanhema来说，这一遗漏凸显了他家乡和西方主要城市之间的数字鸿沟。于是他决定试着把Zimbabwe放在街景地图上。)”可知，Kanhema之所以要成为谷歌地图的志愿者，是因为他想消除他家乡和西方主要城市之间的数字鸿沟，担心家乡被排斥在外。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“In 2018, Kanhema took a two-week hike through Zimbabwe with the equipment. There was a speedboat ride across the Zambezi River and a trip through a national park. Most of his time, though, was spent driving down the streets of Harare and the highways that connect Zimbabwe's major cities.(2018年，Kanhema带着设备徒步穿越Zimbabwe两周。有一艘快艇横渡Zambezi河，还有一次穿越国家公园的旅行。然而，他大部分时间都是在Harare的街道上和连接Zimbabwe主要城市的高速公路上开车)”可推知，Kanhema是一个献身的人，自己徒步穿越国家，为的是让谷歌地图上有自己国家的存在。再根据最后一段中的“Google doesn't pay him. Kanhema spent around $5, 000 of his own money to travel across Zimbabwe for the project.(谷歌不付钱给他。Kanhema自己花了大约5000美元周游Zimbabwe来完成这个项目)”可推知，Kanhema是一个爱国的人，为了能让世界了解他的祖国，他自费拍摄了津巴布韦的照片并上传到谷歌地图上。故选C。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分） 七选五 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Problem-solving skills are increasingly valuable in the workplace and could help you achieve more in your personal life too.

In many ways, this seems to be true. Chinese cuisine is a case in point. China is a country with vast areas and a large population. So the food is as varied as the people. For example, people in Shandong like boiled dumplings ____38____ (serve) with vinegar, because the process of making dumplings can bring ____39____ family members together. ____40____ (traditional), people in Xinjiang spent most of their time on horsebacks, and that is why they prefer their food ____41____ (cook) over an open fire. In conclusion, through food, Chinese people everywhere show their culture as well as their friendship and kindness. So what we can say is that culture and cuisine go hand in hand, and if you do not experience one, you can never really know the other. 【答案】36. which 37. referring 38. served 39. the 40. Traditionally 41. to be cooked 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过引入法国作家Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin的名言来告诉我们文化和烹饪之间的紧密关系。 【36题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：法国作家让·安塞尔姆·布里拉-萨瓦林（Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin）曾写道，“告诉我你吃什么，我就会告诉你你是什么”，意思是“你放进嘴里的东西将成为你的一部分。”空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you what you are，指物，且关系词在从句中作主语，应用关系代词which引导，故填which。 【37题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：事实上，布里拉-萨瓦林实际上指的是我们的个性、性格和文化。主语Brillat-Savarin和动词refer是主动关系，应用现在分词形式与was构成过去进行时，故填referring。 【38题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：例如，山东人喜欢吃醋水饺，因为包饺子的过程可以让家人团聚在一起。句中有谓语like，前后无连词，此处应用非谓语动词作后置定语，修饰dumplings，动词serve和dumplings是被动关系，应用过去分词形式，故填served。 【39题详解】 考查冠词。句意：例如，山东人喜欢吃醋水饺，因为包饺子的过程可以让家人团聚在一起。此处特指家庭成员，应用定冠词the，故填the。 【40题详解】 考查副词。句意：传统上，新疆人大部分时间都在马背上度过，这就是为什么他们更喜欢在明火上做饭。此处应用副词traditionally作状语，修饰整个句子，句首单词首字母大写，故填Traditionally。 【41题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：传统上，新疆人大部分时间都在马背上度过，这就是为什么他们更喜欢在明火上做饭。prefer sb./sth. to do sth.固定搭配，意为“更喜欢/愿意某人/某物做某事”，food和动词cook是被动关系，所以应用不定式的被动语态，故填to be cooked。 第三节 英汉互译（共4小题；每小题1. 5分，满分6分） 42. Perhaps no other scientist has had a greater impact on China’s aerospace science than Qian Xuesen. (英译汉) ______________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】也许没有其他科学家对中国航天科学的影响比钱学森更大。 【解析】 【详解】考查句子结构。perhaps“也许”为副词作状语；no other scientist“没有其他科学家”为主语；has had a greater impact on“对……有更大的影响”为谓语动词；China’s aerospace science“中国航天科学”作宾语；than Qian Xuesen“比钱学森”为介词短语。此句为简单的“主+谓+宾”结构，故翻译为：也许没有其他科学家对中国航天科学的影响比钱学森更大。 43. With many unexpected problems emerging, he was like a cat on hot bricks. (英译汉) ______________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】许多意想不到的问题出现了，他就想热锅上的蚂蚁。 【解析】 【详解】考查句子结构。“With many unexpected problems emerging”为with的复合结构“with+宾语+宾补”作状语，with为介词，many unexpected problems“很多意想不到的问题”为宾语，emerging“出现”为现在分词作宾补；主句中，he“他”为主语，was like“像”为系动词， a cat on hot bricks“热锅上的蚂蚁”为表语，故翻译为：许多意想不到的问题出现了，他就像热锅上的蚂蚁。 44. 这是她第一次离开中国。(汉译英) ______________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】This is the first time that she has left China 【解析】 【详解】考查固定句型。“这”表达为this；“是”表达为is；“第一次”表达为the first time；“她”表达为she；“离开”表达为leave；“中国”表达为China。根据句意可知，此句为“是某人第一次做某事”句型，陈述客观事实，故主句应用一般现在时，表达为this is the first time that...，主句用is，that从句中应用现在完成时。故翻译为：This is the first time that she has left China。 45. 人如其食。 (汉译英) ______________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】You are what you eat. 【解析】 【详解】考查表语从句。句子描述客观事实，用一般现在时。“其食”的意思是“你吃了什么”；“如”在中文中是动词，对应到英文中可以是be动词。这样就可以将这个句子处理成一个表语从句，字面意思是“你是你吃的东西的结果”，表语从句中，应该使用what引导从句，在从句中充当宾语，翻译成what you eat。故翻译为You are what you eat. 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 46. 假定你是李华，你的英国好友 David所在的学校有一个为期一年的交换生项目，申请通过者可以到中国留学一年。考虑到自己从未在中国生活过，David犹豫要不要申请，并发来邮件征询你的意见。请你用英语给他回一封邮件，内容包括： 1. 到中国留学的益处； 2. 可能面临的困难； 3. 你的建议。 注意：写作词数应为 80 左右。 Dear David, __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours sincerely, Li Hua 【答案】Dear David, I’m so glad to know that you are considering the one-year exchange student program.

No matter how desperately I begged, his answer was "No! " Finally, I accepted that he was not going to change his mind. I did the only thing that I could. I spent as much time as possible around other people’s pets and I often spent time at a place called Best Friends, an animal shelter near my house. Animals ended up there when their owners could no longer care for them. Whenever I visited the shelter (收容所), I dreamed about taking one of the dogs home with me. One day after school, I stopped off at Best Friends like I usually did. Suddenly, I saw a large, shaggy, yellow dog standing in the corner, and when he saw me, he wagged his tail and began whining (哀鸣). “That’s Fenway,” Renee, the woman at the desk, said. “He whines continuously. His owners brought him here when they moved overseas.” “He must be lonely,” I suggested. “Your parents won’t let you have a dog?” Renee asked. I didn’t answer, but my look must have said everything, because then she said, “That’s too bad. These dogs need good homes and good people to take care of them.” On my way home, I had an idea to assist shelter pets like Fenway. I wrote a touching story as if Fenway were writing it. I told all about his family and why he had no home, shedding light on (解释) his longing for a loving family. With the shelter director’s approval, I proposed sharing more stories in newspapers and online to attract potential adopters. The next weekend, the shelter was flooded with families who wanted pets. They were all drawn by the heartfelt stories of animals like Fenway. Fenway’s tail wagged so fast that I was afraid it might fall off. I stood with Fenway as people admired him. His playful nature and hopeful eyes won over many visitors` hearts, leading to a rise in adoptions. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为80左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Suddenly, I saw my parents walking into the shelter towards Fenway. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I was confused why my father changed his mind. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Suddenly, I saw my parents walking into the shelter towards Fenway. I couldn’t believe my eyes. Were they here to adopt a pet? My heart started to race with excitement. I wondered how this could be happening. Maybe they had read my story and were touched by it. I was confused why my father changed his mind. Did he really want to adopt Fenway? I looked at him, searching for an answer. He gave me a smile and said, “We thought it was time to give a home to a furry friend, and Fenway seemed like the perfect choice.” I was overjoyed and ran towards Fenway, hugging him tightly. This was a dream come true. 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。文章作者通过描述自己与父亲关于养宠物的争执、对收容所宠物的关注、为帮助这些宠物而写故事并分享、以及最终父母决定收养Fenway这一故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“突然，我看见我的父母走进避难所，向Fenway走来。”以及第二段首句内容“我不明白父亲为什么改变主意。”可知，第一段可描写作者的父母前来领养Fenway。 ②由第二段首句内容“我不明白父亲为什么改变主意。”可知，第二段可描写作者成功领养了Fenway。 2.续写线索：作者非常想要领养一只宠物，可是作者的父亲坚决不同意——作者只能经常前往一个动物收容所，照顾那些宠物——一次，作者在收容所看到一只叫Fenway的狗——作者非常想要领养，但是想到态度坚决的父母，作者放弃了——作者决定在网上发帖，为Fenway找一个有爱的领养家庭——看到这个故事后，许多人前来收容所想要领养Fenway——就在这时，作者看到了自己的父母也来领养Fenway——作者非常激动自己终于领养了Fenway 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①想知道：wonder/want to know ②寻找：search for/look for ③拥抱：hug/embrace 情绪类 ①兴奋：excitement/thrill ②被打动的：touched/moved 【点睛】【高分句型1】I wondered how this could be happening.（运用了how引导的宾语从句） 【高分句型2】We thought it was time to give a home to a furry friend, and Fenway seemed like the perfect choice.（运用了省略引导词that宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025学年高二上第二次月考 英语试卷 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5个小题；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.

Seven years ago, my father was in the end-of-life stage. He had wanted to be at home during his final moments, so I arranged for him to return home. He spent only one more night there, but he wasn’t alone. A Marie Curie nurse was by our side. Facing the emotions that come with knowing a loved one is at the end of their life can be difficult. Having a nurse with us made it easier to deal with these feelings. That’s when I made the decision to join Marie Curie. You might assume that being with family members during the end of one’s life would be a sad experience. But what may surprise you is that it’s not. The family, in my experience, make the most of the time they have and understand that their loved one is dying, but it’s not a time for sorrow; it’s a time of togetherness and warmth. I remember one particular family—three sisters—and the fourth was in the end-of-life stage. When I arrived, she was unaware, and I knew she might not make it through the night. But sitting with the sisters, talking about their childhood, and sharing photos. I felt it was a special time. They mentioned that their sister had asked for peaches ‘n’ cream earlier that day, and they made sure she got it. We lost her that night. The sisters expected it, they thanked me, and it was a comforting experience. Our role is to support families and the individuals who are dying. We can’t change the matter of necessity, but we can make-a difference. We provide support through the early stages of sorrow. 4. Why did the author join Marie Curie? A. To memorize her father. B. To deal with her sad feelings. C. To provide help and services. D. To express her thanks to nurses. 5. What did the author do before the youngest sister died? A. She accompanied her family. B. She took photos for her. C. She told stories to her sisters. D. She comforted her parents. 6. What does the author think of her job? A. Challenging. B. Rewarding. C. Eye-opening. D. Time-consuming. 7. What does the author intend to express at last? A. The support of family counts. B. Helping others is helping yourself. C. It’s never late to change ourselves. D. End-of-life company means a lot. C One of the best parts of travel is always the food. Or more specifically, the junk food. It’s a delight people are unlikely to get to experience during the pandemic. But in one corner of the internet, hungry people are keeping the joy of international snacks alive. On SnackExchange, users trade the delights of their homeland by mail. First, you find someone on the board to swap with. You and your partner then post each other a box full of local finest processed foods, eventually uploading photos of your haul(收获) on the board for others to see. First created in 2010, SnackExchange’s membership now totals 102,000. Most come to experience snacks they can’t find at home. For the users who take part in snack exchanges, it’s a way to learn more about the world. For Meghan Quallick, a snack swapper from California, part of the motivation for swapping with an Australian was to get a specific item: Cadbury Black Forest bars. A co-worker of hers had eaten the chocolate bars on a trip to Australia in years past and fallen in love with them, but was then unable to source them at home. Quallick’s snack partner included 10 bars of the chocolate in her package. “To get some and bring them to her was pretty exciting,” Quallick said. “My colleague had tears in her eyes.” Snack exchanges do come with obvious financial disadvantages. Part of the process is to agree on a budget before you swap – on average that’s around the US$40-50 mark. But you should be prepared to spend twice as much on shipping as the actual snacks. Occasionally swappers get scammed(欺骗) by partners who don’t deliver on their end of the deal. Often, the snack exchanges are about more than just the food. Heather Clarke, a snack swapper from Melbourne says, “They’re often cultural exchanges as well. You get people going, ‘Can you tell me what this is?’” Often, users enclose(随信附上) instructions on how to best consume the snacks. Going the extra mile is in the spirit of the community. 8. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The history of snack exchanges. B. Why people love to exchange snacks. C. How users exchange snacks on SnackExchange. D. The influence the pandemic has on snack exchanges. 9. Why did Quallick’s colleague cry? A. She quarreled with Quallick. B. She failed to find a swapper herself. C. She found the snack she ate before online. D. She got what she desired to eat from Quallick. 10. What is a disadvantage of snack exchanges? A. Swappers easily get cheated. B. Swappers have to spend more on shipping. C. Swappers seldom find exactly what they want. D. Swappers may spend more time than usual shopping. 11. What does Clarke say about snack exchanges? A. They should be improved. B. They promote cultural exchanges. C. They are lacking in community spirit. D. They should have detailed guides from swappers. D One of the first things people do when they use Google Street View is check out the place where they live. So when Tawanda Kanhema moved to the United States in 2009, he looked up his hometown of Harare, Zimbabwe's capital city, on the map of panoramic (全景的) images. But there was nothing to see. Harare wasn't on Street View. And neither was the rest of Zimbabwe. As Kanhema looked around more, many Western cities were on the platform, but only a handful of African countries were. “I found it quite jarring that a lot of countries in the region were not on the map, ” he says. As services like Google Maps have increasingly become our primary map of the world, being left out of features like Street View can have consequences. Street View helps people with everyday tasks like checking out a new commute (通勤) route, choosing a restaurant or deciding where to go on vacation. The platform also provides a large amount of data used by Google to improve its mapping services and by local governments looking to make improvements to an area. For Kanhema the omission (遗漏) highlighted a digital divide between his hometown and major Western cities. So he decided to try to get Zimbabwe on Street View. Kanhema, who works as a product manager and is a photographer in his spare time, volunteered to carry Google's Street View equipment to map what amounted to 2, 000 miles of his home country. “We should do more to make sure that those communities are represented,” Kanhema says. In 2018, Kanhema took a two-week hike through Zimbabwe with the equipment. There was a speedboat ride across the Zambezi River and a trip through a national park. Most of his time, though, was spent driving down the streets of Harare and the highways that connect Zimbabwe's major cities. All this is a lot of work, but for Kanhema, it's a hobby. Google doesn't pay him. Kanhema spent around $5, 000 of his own money to travel across Zimbabwe for the project. “What motivates me is the constant reminder these companies need to pay attention to those parts of the world,” he says. 12. What does the underlined word “jarring” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Touching. B. Interesting. C. Surprising. D. Frightening. 13. What does the author mainly talk about in paragraph 3? A. The development of Google Maps. B. The significant role of Street View. C. The application of Street View in poor areas. D. The benefits mapping services brought to Google. 14. What made Kanhema work as a Google's volunteer? A. His interest in traveling. B. His preparation for his own business. C. His eagerness to be a professional photographer. D. His worries about the exclusion of his hometown. 15. Which of the following best describes Kanhema? A. Calm and kind. B. Far-sighted and imaginative. C. Dedicated and patriotic. D.

No matter how desperately I begged, his answer was "No! " Finally, I accepted that he was not going to change his mind. I did the only thing that I could. I spent as much time as possible around other people’s pets and I often spent time at a place called Best Friends, an animal shelter near my house. Animals ended up there when their owners could no longer care for them. Whenever I visited the shelter (收容所), I dreamed about taking one of the dogs home with me. One day after school, I stopped off at Best Friends like I usually did. Suddenly, I saw a large, shaggy, yellow dog standing in the corner, and when he saw me, he wagged his tail and began whining (哀鸣). “That’s Fenway,” Renee, the woman at the desk, said. “He whines continuously. His owners brought him here when they moved overseas.” “He must be lonely,” I suggested. “Your parents won’t let you have a dog?” Renee asked. I didn’t answer, but my look must have said everything, because then she said, “That’s too bad. These dogs need good homes and good people to take care of them.” On my way home, I had an idea to assist shelter pets like Fenway. I wrote a touching story as if Fenway were writing it. I told all about his family and why he had no home, shedding light on (解释) his longing for a loving family. With the shelter director’s approval, I proposed sharing more stories in newspapers and online to attract potential adopters. The next weekend, the shelter was flooded with families who wanted pets. They were all drawn by the heartfelt stories of animals like Fenway. Fenway’s tail wagged so fast that I was afraid it might fall off. I stood with Fenway as people admired him. His playful nature and hopeful eyes won over many visitors` hearts, leading to a rise in adoptions. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为80左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Suddenly, I saw my parents walking into the shelter towards Fenway. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I was confused why my father changed his mind. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
