But the boy lost his balance and fell on his back. The woman picked him up firmly by his shirt front. “Aren’t you ashamed of yourself?” shouted the woman. Two or three people passed, stopped, and stood watching. “I’m very sorry, lady. I’m sorry,” whispered the skinny little boy, in broken tennis shoes. “Um-hum! And your face is dirty,” said the large woman dragging the frightened boy. “Since you put yourself in contact with me, you are going to remember Mrs. Luella Jones.” He began to struggle, but Mrs. Jones continued to drag him up the street. When she got to her door, she dragged the boy inside. “What’s your name?” the woman asked. “Roger,” answered the boy in a low voice. “Then, Roger, you go to that sink and wash your face,” ordered the woman and finally let go of him. “You gonna take me to jail (监狱)?” asked Roger, bending over the sink. “Not with that face,” said Mrs. Jones. “I believe you were hungry to snatch my purse.” “I wanted a pair of blue shoes,” replied the boy. There was a long pause. After he had dried his face, the boy turned around. The door was open. He could run! After a while the woman said, “I was young once and I wanted things I could not get. I have done things too, which I would not tell anybody else, son.” There was another long pause. The boy’s mouth opened. Then Mrs. Jones went to do the cooking. She did not watch the boy to see if he was going to run, nor did she watch her purse left behind her. She did not ask him anything about where he lived, or his folks. Instead, as they ate, she told him a lot about her job in a hotel shop and how all kinds of people came in and out. She cut him another piece of her cake. When they finished eating, she got up and said, “Now, here, take this ten dollars and buy yourself some blue shoes. Do not make the mistake, because shoes come by devilish ways like that will burn your feet.” She led him to the front door. “Good night! Behave yourself, son!” she said, looking out into the street. 24. How did Mrs. Jones react after catching Roger? A. She called the police. B. She comforted him gently. C. She ignored him. D.

C Last spring, my dad sent my siblings and me an email: “Need you to get whatever you want from home by early May or give us the go-ahead to toss or give away.” A month later, my sisters and I flew home to Cincinnati for the weekend to clear away our childhood belongings. In 1984, my parents moved our family into the house where my three siblings and I grew up. When I was ten, I got my own room. I spent the next eight years in a room with a yellowish-green rug that came with the house. All through high school, I sat on the floor to do my homework and make collages (拼贴画) from Seventeen and US Weekly. I cut out listings from TV Guide and wrote in my diary about how much I loved My So-Called Life. I wrote notes to my friends and folded them in complicated ways. Twenty years ago, I graduated from high school and left Cincinnati for good. Some of my old things were easy to get rid of — sneakers, stuffed animals and candy wrappers from 1992. Then there were all my school papers, from middle school on, organized in binders and spiral-bound notebooks. Pages and pages on Geoffrey Chaucer and ions (离子) and isosceles triangles (等腰三角形), with words of encouragement from my teachers written in the margin. Going through it all brought me right back to my high school self and the things I was most focused on: my basketball team, designing the yearbook cover, Leonardo DiCaprio and River Phoenix, Absolute vodka and Clinique ads, quotes from the movie The Cutting Edge. My friend Andi came over and forced me to pitch all the stuff. Together we carried garbage bags full of papers and junk to the dump-ster. In the end, I threw almost all of them away but decided to photograph them first, because I couldn't quite say goodbye forever. Thinking back to high school, I remember being embarrassed and shy. I disliked my body and desperately longed for attention from classmates. But being forced to go through all of my things gave me a new appreciation for the other parts of who I was. Without knowing it, I was preparing for life as a photographer — I was learning about imagery, portraiture (人像摄影), art and self-expression. I was hungry to experience the world beyond my room and its stained rug. 28. Why did the author and her siblings return their childhood house? A. To have a family reunion. B. To remove childhood belongings. C. To move out of the house. D. To redecorate their rooms. 29. What did the author realize after going through her old belongings? A. She had wasted too much time in high school. B. She missed her childhood and wished to return. C. She had been extremely popular in high school. D. She had already started preparing for life as a photographer. 30. What is the primary purpose of the article? A. To provide a reflection on the author’s past. B. To explain how to clear away childhood belongings. C. To persuade readers to hold on to their childhood memories. D. To complain about not being able to keep her childhood belongings. 31. Which of the following best describes the tone of the article? A. Humorous. B. Reflective. C. Suspenseful. D. Instructive. D There’s a new kind of AI jobs. It pays six-figure salaries. And it doesn’t require a degree in computer engineering coding. Companies are looking for people to craft prompts that help train AI programs. These people are called prompt engineers. They work on generative artificial intelligence, such as ChatGPT. This is AI that creates content, such as text, audio, video, and images, in response to a user's request. Prompt engineers train AI to deliver better response. Anne Bernstein, a prompt engineer at Copu. ai, writes prompts and feeds them into AI tools. This helps the AI generate text, such as a blog post or email, with accurate information and proper tone. She doesn’t need to write code to do this. She simply types instructions. Bernstein joined Copy. ai in September 2021. “There weren’t many of us prompt engineers,” she says. “For a long time, it really felt like it was just me.” That was about a year before ChatGPT went viral for its ability to generate writing and answer questions. Prompt engineering is now one of the hottest tech jobs. Job surge (激增) AI tools need training. At the moment, they provide results that are not always correct or proper. That’s why companies are looking for prompt engineers. A tech company called Anthropic is advertising a “prompt engineer and librarian.” Applicants must “love solving puzzles.” In Massachusetts, Boston Children’s Hospital is advertising for a prompt engineer, too. Rob Lennon is an expert on the topic. He teaches people the skills needed for the job. As of April, about 2,000 students had taken his two online courses. “People are clamoring for this knowledge,” Lennon says. Will it last? Some say the need for this job will burn out. Ethan Mollick is an associate professor at the University of Pennsylvania. “It’s not clear that prompt engineering is going to matter long-term,” he says. “AI programs are getting better at predicting what users need.” The high salaries may not last either. “These are jobs that probably only 500 people could do right now,” Lennon says. “In six months, 50,000 people will be able to do that job. The value of this knowledge is greater today than it will be tomorrow.” 32. What is the role of a prompt engineer? A. To write code for AI programs. B. To analyze AI-generated content. C. To manage databases for AI companies. D. To train AI programs by crafting prompts. 33. What is the primary responsibility of a prompt engineer at Copu. ai? A. Writing code for AI tools. B. Providing customer support for AI users. C. Generating text, audio, video and images for AI users. D. Typing instructions to help AI generate accurate content. 34. What is the main reason why companies are seeking prompt engineers? A. To reduce the cost of training AI tools. B To provide technical support for their users. C. To improve the accuracy of AI-generated content. D. To cut down on the number of AI programs in use. 35. According to Ethan Mollick, what is uncertain about the future of prompt engineering jobs? A. Whether AI programs will improve over time. B. Whether prompt engineers will be paid high salaries. C. Whether the jobs will remain necessary in the long term. D. Whether prompt engineering will produce more accurate content. 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。 About 40% adults and 19% children in the US are obese (肥胖的). ___36___.

People who lost at least 10% of their weight recorded their food intake about 3 times a day. In comparison, those who recorded less daily lost less weight. Researchers noted people might have greater success with weight loss if they recorded their dietary intake about three times a day, rather than recording all of their meals in one sitting. ___40___.

That was not because it wasn’t an “Instagram able location” or because I wasn’t having a good time. In fact, not taking photos wasn’t even a(n) ____41____ decision, at least at first. Not having to ____42____ getting “the perfect shot” was relaxing. The two weeks of holiday were spent being truly in the moment. The exhaustion of trying to capture every single sunset, meal and pool shot ____43____. Not snapping away like crazy saved me ____44____ to actually enjoy every moment. It made for a more ____45____ experience. I wasn’t constantly distracted by angles, lighting and filters (滤镜). I simply absorbed what was happening in front of me. The irony (讽刺之处) is that most people take a picture in order to keep a memory ____46____. Nevertheless, psychologists say you’re actually rewriting over that memory by doing so. Linda Henkel, a psychology professor at Fairfield University, conducted a study in 2014 with 28 university students. These students were asked to observe 15 objects with their own ____47____ and snap photos of 15 others in a museum. When they were tested the next day, they weren’t able to remember as many features of the objects that they had ____48____ compared with those they had seen with their eyes. Henkel found that taking photos led to an “impairment effect.” That is to say, the subjects remembered fewer ____49____ of an experience. “As soon as you hit ‘click’ on that camera, it’s as if you’ve outsourced (外包) your memory,” she says. “We have this expectation that the camera is going to remember things for us, so we don’t have to continue ____50____ that object and we don’t engage in the types of things that would otherwise help us to remember it.” With smartphones and devices that automatically (自动地) take a picture every 30 seconds, how much is too much? How do we know when we are taking too many pictures and ____51____ our memories? ____52____ most of us are taking more photos than we can handle. Who among us hasn’t regularly wondered what to do with our smartphone photos and struggled to ____53____ old ones to clear out storage space? We’ve already been told that Instagramming food makes meals taste ____54____. Perhaps that’s why I ate such delicious food on my recent two-week holiday. As ____55____ as it may be to snap away to my heart’s content, I think I’m going to start putting the phone down more often in order to actually enjoy the time with my loved ones instead. 41.

After experiencing a shark attack when I was eight years old on a family trip to Florida, I barely went in the ocean any deeper than my knees. By shark, I mean dolphin, and by attack, I mean he was bobbing around in the water about five miles from shore, but people were screaming “SHARK!”and waving their hands around along the coastline. Real shark or not, that moment stuck with me. That memory, coupled with being freezing in any weather less than thirty degrees Celsius (摄氏), made the idea of plunging (投入) into cold water a hard pass. My husband, Mike, had been cold plunging (冰浴) for years and would present me with facts to prove that it was a good thing. By doing so, you experience benefits such as heightened energy, immune (免疫的) system support, boosted mood, better sleep, and stress reduction. It was an appealing list of benefits—none of which mattered to me. What was presented as a clear “wonder drug” was still not attractive enough for me to get out of my warm house and go swimming. Did I mention that I live in Canada? It’s minus twenty degrees Celsius here sometimes. On New Year’s Day, Mike invited me to his cold plunging. I had been thinking less about health data and more about my confidence. Do you want to do something hard? Something brave? I asked myself. Something completely scary, uncomfortable and seemingly crazy, or do you want to say no and focus on all of the reasons why you wouldn’t dare? I put on my swimsuit, covered it up with eighteen wool sweaters, and joined Mike for the adventure. In fairness, it was a beautiful day. This made the scary thing feel a little more reasonable as Inegotiated (谈判；协商) with myself the entire twelve-minute drive. My heart was already pounding. We had packed a bag with towels, blankets, warm water for cleaning our sandy feet, and a hot cup of coffee to warm our hands. 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。 I was determined to do the hard thing. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I have now been cold plunging for over a year. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null 嘉积中学2024-2025 学年第一学期高三教学质量监测 (月考) 英语试题 (满分150分, 时间120分钟) 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共5小题; 每小题1.5分, 满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What pet did the man have?

But the boy lost his balance and fell on his back. The woman picked him up firmly by his shirt front. “Aren’t you ashamed of yourself?” shouted the woman. Two or three people passed, stopped, and stood watching. “I’m very sorry, lady. I’m sorry,” whispered the skinny little boy, in broken tennis shoes. “Um-hum! And your face is dirty,” said the large woman dragging the frightened boy. “Since you put yourself in contact with me, you are going to remember Mrs. Luella Jones.” He began to struggle, but Mrs. Jones continued to drag him up the street. When she got to her door, she dragged the boy inside. “What’s your name?” the woman asked. “Roger,” answered the boy in a low voice. “Then, Roger, you go to that sink and wash your face,” ordered the woman and finally let go of him. “You gonna take me to jail (监狱)?” asked Roger, bending over the sink. “Not with that face,” said Mrs. Jones. “I believe you were hungry to snatch my purse.” “I wanted a pair of blue shoes,” replied the boy. There was a long pause. After he had dried his face, the boy turned around. The door was open. He could run! After a while the woman said, “I was young once and I wanted things I could not get. I have done things too, which I would not tell anybody else, son.” There was another long pause. The boy’s mouth opened. Then Mrs. Jones went to do the cooking. She did not watch the boy to see if he was going to run, nor did she watch her purse left behind her. She did not ask him anything about where he lived, or his folks. Instead, as they ate, she told him a lot about her job in a hotel shop and how all kinds of people came in and out. She cut him another piece of her cake. When they finished eating, she got up and said, “Now, here, take this ten dollars and buy yourself some blue shoes. Do not make the mistake, because shoes come by devilish ways like that will burn your feet.” She led him to the front door. “Good night! Behave yourself, son!” she said, looking out into the street. 24. How did Mrs. Jones react after catching Roger? A. She called the police. B. She comforted him gently. C. She ignored him. D.

When she got to her door, she dragged the boy inside. (他开始挣扎，但琼斯夫人继续拖着他沿街走。当她走到门口时，她把男孩拖了进去)”可知，琼斯夫人抓住罗杰后，把他带回家了。故选D。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第四段“After a while the woman said, “I was young once and I wanted things I could not get. I have done things too, which I would not tell anybody else, son.” There was another long pause. The boy’s mouth opened.(过了一会儿，女人说：“我曾经年轻过，想要得不到的东西。我也做过一些我不会告诉别人的事，孩子。”又是一阵长时间的沉默。男孩张了张嘴)”可知，罗杰听到琼斯夫人的过去后，张着嘴说不出话，说明他感到震惊。故选D。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第四段“After a while the woman said, “I was young once and I wanted things I could not get.

And your face is dirty,” said the large woman dragging the frightened boy. “Since you put yourself in contact with me, you are going to remember Mrs. Luella Jones.”(“嗯哼！而且你的脸很脏，”这位高大的女士拖着受惊的男孩说，“既然你主动与我有了接触，你会记得卢埃拉·琼斯夫人的”)”及第六段中““Then, Roger, you go to that sink and wash your face,” ordered the woman and finally let go of him.(“那么，罗杰，你去那个水槽洗洗脸，”女士命令道，终于松开了他)”可知，她告诉他通过不正当手段获取东西是可耻的，并严格地要求罗杰洗脸，琼斯夫人是严格的；根据倒数第四段“After a while the woman said, “I was young once and I wanted things I could not get. I have done things too, which I would not tell anybody else, son.” There was another long pause. The boy’s mouth opened.(过了一会儿，女人说：“我曾经年轻过，想要得不到的东西。我也做过一些我不会告诉别人的事，孩子。”又是一阵长时间的沉默。男孩张了张嘴)”可知，她通过讲述自己的过去来感化罗杰，琼斯夫人又是很智慧的。故选D。 C Last spring, my dad sent my siblings and me an email: “Need you to get whatever you want from home by early May or give us the go-ahead to toss or give away.” A month later, my sisters and I flew home to Cincinnati for the weekend to clear away our childhood belongings. In 1984, my parents moved our family into the house where my three siblings and I grew up. When I was ten, I got my own room. I spent the next eight years in a room with a yellowish-green rug that came with the house. All through high school, I sat on the floor to do my homework and make collages (拼贴画) from Seventeen and US Weekly. I cut out listings from TV Guide and wrote in my diary about how much I loved My So-Called Life. I wrote notes to my friends and folded them in complicated ways. Twenty years ago, I graduated from high school and left Cincinnati for good. Some of my old things were easy to get rid of — sneakers, stuffed animals and candy wrappers from 1992. Then there were all my school papers, from middle school on, organized in binders and spiral-bound notebooks. Pages and pages on Geoffrey Chaucer and ions (离子) and isosceles triangles (等腰三角形), with words of encouragement from my teachers written in the margin. Going through it all brought me right back to my high school self and the things I was most focused on: my basketball team, designing the yearbook cover, Leonardo DiCaprio and River Phoenix, Absolute vodka and Clinique ads, quotes from the movie The Cutting Edge. My friend Andi came over and forced me to pitch all the stuff. Together we carried garbage bags full of papers and junk to the dump-ster. In the end, I threw almost all of them away but decided to photograph them first, because I couldn't quite say goodbye forever. Thinking back to high school, I remember being embarrassed and shy. I disliked my body and desperately longed for attention from classmates. But being forced to go through all of my things gave me a new appreciation for the other parts of who I was. Without knowing it, I was preparing for life as a photographer — I was learning about imagery, portraiture (人像摄影), art and self-expression. I was hungry to experience the world beyond my room and its stained rug. 28. Why did the author and her siblings return their childhood house? A. To have a family reunion. B.

I was hungry to experience the world beyond my room and its stained rug.(不知不觉中，我正在为摄影师的生活做准备——我正在学习图像、肖像、艺术和自我表达。我渴望体验我的房间和那脏兮兮的地毯之外的世界。)”可推断，作者通过回忆和反思，带有审慎的语气，回忆中带有自省与感悟，故选B。 D There’s a new kind of AI jobs. It pays six-figure salaries. And it doesn’t require a degree in computer engineering coding. Companies are looking for people to craft prompts that help train AI programs. These people are called prompt engineers. They work on generative artificial intelligence, such as ChatGPT. This is AI that creates content, such as text, audio, video, and images, in response to a user's request. Prompt engineers train AI to deliver better response. Anne Bernstein, a prompt engineer at Copu. ai, writes prompts and feeds them into AI tools. This helps the AI generate text, such as a blog post or email, with accurate information and proper tone. She doesn’t need to write code to do this. She simply types instructions. Bernstein joined Copy. ai in September 2021. “There weren’t many of us prompt engineers,” she says. “For a long time, it really felt like it was just me.” That was about a year before ChatGPT went viral for its ability to generate writing and answer questions. Prompt engineering is now one of the hottest tech jobs. Job surge (激增) AI tools need training. At the moment, they provide results that are not always correct or proper. That’s why companies are looking for prompt engineers. A tech company called Anthropic is advertising a “prompt engineer and librarian.” Applicants must “love solving puzzles.” In Massachusetts, Boston Children’s Hospital is advertising for a prompt engineer, too. Rob Lennon is an expert on the topic. He teaches people the skills needed for the job. As of April, about 2,000 students had taken his two online courses. “People are clamoring for this knowledge,” Lennon says. Will it last? Some say the need for this job will burn out. Ethan Mollick is an associate professor at the University of Pennsylvania. “It’s not clear that prompt engineering is going to matter long-term,” he says. “AI programs are getting better at predicting what users need.” The high salaries may not last either. “These are jobs that probably only 500 people could do right now,” Lennon says. “In six months, 50,000 people will be able to do that job. The value of this knowledge is greater today than it will be tomorrow.” 32 What is the role of a prompt engineer? A. To write code for AI programs. B. To analyze AI-generated content. C. To manage databases for AI companies. D. To train AI programs by crafting prompts. 33. What is the primary responsibility of a prompt engineer at Copu. ai? A. Writing code for AI tools. B. Providing customer support for AI users. C. Generating text, audio, video and images for AI users. D. Typing instructions to help AI generate accurate content. 34. What is the main reason why companies are seeking prompt engineers? A. To reduce the cost of training AI tools. B. To provide technical support for their users. C. To improve the accuracy of AI-generated content. D. To cut down on the number of AI programs in use. 35. According to Ethan Mollick, what is uncertain about the future of prompt engineering jobs? A Whether AI programs will improve over time. B. Whether prompt engineers will be paid high salaries. C. Whether the jobs will remain necessary in the long term. D. Whether prompt engineering will produce more accurate content. 【答案】32. D 33. D 34. C 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了一种新的人工智能工作——提示工程师(prompt engineer)的工作内容，需求及前景。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Companies are looking for people to craft prompts that help train AI programs. These people are called prompt engineers. (公司正在找人制作提示，帮助训练人工智能程序。这些人被称为提示工程师。)”可知，提示工程师的角色是通过制作提示来训练人工智能程序。故选D。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Anne Bernstein, a prompt engineer at Copu. ai, writes prompts and feeds them into AI tools. This helps the AI generate text, such as a blog post or email, with accurate information and proper tone. She doesn’t need to write code to do this. She simply types instructions. (安妮·伯恩斯坦（Anne Bernstein）是Copu. ai的一名优秀工程师，编写提示并将其输入AI工具。这有助于人工智能生成具有准确信息和适当语气的文本，如博客文章或电子邮件。她不需要编写代码来做到这一点。她只是输入指令。)”可知，在Copu. ai，提示工程师的主要职责是输入指令，帮助AI生成准确的内容。故选D。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据Job surge (激增)下的第一段“AI tools need training. At the moment, they provide results that are not always correct or proper. That's why companies are looking for prompt engineers. (人工智能工具需要培训。目前，它们提供的结果并不总是正确或适当的。这就是为什么公司都在寻找能力强的工程师。)”可知，公司寻找提示工程师的主要原因是要提高AI生成内容的准确性。故选C。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Some say the need for this job will burn out. Ethan Mollick is an associate professor at the University of Pennsylvania. “It's not clear that prompt engineering is going to matter long-term,” he says. “AI programs are getting better at predicting what users need.” (有人说，对这份工作的需求将会枯竭。Ethan Mollick是宾夕法尼亚大学的副教授。他说：“目前还不清楚，提示工程是否会长期发挥作用。”“人工智能程序在预测用户需求方面做得越来越好。” )”可知，Ethan Mollick认为对于提示工程类的工作是否会长期发挥作用还不确定，故选C。 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。 About 40% adults and 19% children in the US are obese (肥胖的). ___36___. Obesity is also associated with a lower life quality and poor mental health. If you are suffering from these, here’s a way of losing weight that you can try. ___37___. It involves recording what they consume, and how much. The theory is that when thinking of what you put in your body, you’ll make healthier decisions. Can it really be that easy? There’s no doubt that dietary self-monitoring has been shown to help lose weight. ___38___. Study shows the more often you log your eating, the more weight you might lose. Recently, researchers studied obese individuals in otherwise good health who participated in a 24-week weight control program. ___39___. The findings demonstrated that people who continued to record their food intake daily for 24 weeks lost more weight compared to those who quit noting their intake. People who lost at least 10% of their weight recorded their food intake about 3 times a day. In comparison, those who recorded less daily lost less weight. Researchers noted people might have greater success with weight loss if they recorded their dietary intake about three times a day, rather than recording all of their meals in one sitting. ___40___. Dietary self-monitoring can be performed in different ways— using an online program, using a pencil or using smart-phone applications. It is important to find what works for you. A. Dietary “self-monitoring” is a common strategy B. They recorded their daily dietary intake using an online program C. Daily dietary intake is a very crucial factor D. Dietary self-monitoring can be complex E. Obese people are at increased risk of many serious diseases F. A good principle to follow may be “write when you bite” G. However, not much is known about how long this takes or how often it should be done 【答案】36. E 37. A 38. G 39. B 40. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一个可以尝试的减肥方法。 【36题详解】 空格后的句子“Obesity is also associated with a lower life quality and poor mental health. (肥胖还与较低的生活质量和较差的心理健康有关。)”是说肥胖会影响生活质量和心理健康，根据句中的also可知，空格处的句子也应该是说肥胖的不良影响，所以，E项“Obese people are at increased risk of many serious diseases (肥胖人群罹患许多严重疾病的风险增加)”填入空格处，符合语境。故选E项。 【37题详解】 上文的句子“If you are suffering from these, here’s a way of losing weight that you can try. (如果你正遭受这些折磨，这里有一个你可以尝试的减肥方法。)”提到一个可以尝试的减肥方法，空格处的句子应该接着说这种方法是什么。所以，A项“Dietary “self-monitoring” is a common strategy (饮食“自我监控”是一种常见的策略)”填入空格处，符合语境。故选A项。 【38题详解】 根据空格前的句子“There’s no doubt that dietary self-monitoring has been shown to help lose weight. (毫无疑问，饮食自我监控有助于减肥。)”下一段第一句“Study shows the more often you log your eating, the more weight you might lose. (研究表明，你越经常记录你的饮食，你就可能减得越多。)”可知，空格处的句子应该提到自我监控记录的时间和频率问题，所以，G项“However, not much is known about how long this takes or how often it should be done (然而，对于这需要多长时间或应该多久进行一次，我们知之甚少)”填入空格处，符合语境。故选G项。 【39题详解】 根据下文的研究结果“The findings demonstrated that people who continued to record their food intake daily for 24 weeks lost more weight compared to those who quit noting their intake. People who lost at least 10% of their weight recorded their food intake about 3 times a day. (研究结果表明，那些连续24周每天记录食物摄入量的人比那些不再记录食物摄入量的人减掉了更多的体重。那些体重减轻至少10%的人每天记录三次食物摄入量。)”可知，空格处的句子应该提到，被研究对象每天记录食物摄入量的事，所以，B项“They recorded their daily dietary intake using an online program (他们使用一个在线程序记录了他们每天的饮食摄入量)”填入空格处，符合语境。故选B项。 【40题详解】 根据上文的句子“Researchers noted people might have greater success with weight loss if they recorded their dietary intake about three times a day, rather than recording all of their meals in one sitting. (研究人员指出，如果人们每天记录三次他们的饮食摄入，而不是一次记录所有的食物，他们可能会在减肥方面取得更大的成功。)”可知，记录事物摄入量的最好的方法是每天分三次记录，也就是三餐的时候记录。所以，F项“A good principle to follow may be “write when you bite” (一个可以遵循的原则是“咬的时候就写”)”填入空格处，和上文的句子是顺接关系。故选F项。 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。 I went on holiday recently and didn’t take a single photo. That was not because it wasn’t an “Instagram able location” or because I wasn’t having a good time. In fact, not taking photos wasn’t even a(n) ____41____ decision, at least at first. Not having to ____42____ getting “the perfect shot” was relaxing. The two weeks of holiday were spent being truly in the moment. The exhaustion of trying to capture every single sunset, meal and pool shot ____43____. Not snapping away like crazy saved me ____44____ to actually enjoy every moment. It made for a more ____45____ experience. I wasn’t constantly distracted by angles, lighting and filters (滤镜). I simply absorbed what was happening in front of me. The irony (讽刺之处) is that most people take a picture in order to keep a memory ____46____. Nevertheless, psychologists say you’re actually rewriting over that memory by doing so. Linda Henkel, a psychology professor at Fairfield University, conducted a study in 2014 with 28 university students. These students were asked to observe 15 objects with their own ____47____ and snap photos of 15 others in a museum. When they were tested the next day, they weren’t able to remember as many features of the objects that they had ____48____ compared with those they had seen with their eyes. Henkel found that taking photos led to an “impairment effect.” That is to say, the subjects remembered fewer ____49____ of an experience. “As soon as you hit ‘click’ on that camera, it’s as if you’ve outsourced (外包) your memory,” she says. “We have this expectation that the camera is going to remember things for us, so we don’t have to continue ____50____ that object and we don’t engage in the types of things that would otherwise help us to remember it.” With smartphones and devices that automatically (自动地) take a picture every 30 seconds, how much is too much? How do we know when we are taking too many pictures and ____51____ our memories? ____52____ most of us are taking more photos than we can handle. Who among us hasn’t regularly wondered what to do with our smartphone photos and struggled to ____53____ old ones to clear out storage space? We’ve already been told that Instagramming food makes meals taste ____54____. Perhaps that’s why I ate such delicious food on my recent two-week holiday. As ____55____ as it may be to snap away to my heart’s content, I think I’m going to start putting the phone down more often in order to actually enjoy the time with my loved ones instead. 41.

After experiencing a shark attack when I was eight years old on a family trip to Florida, I barely went in the ocean any deeper than my knees. By shark, I mean dolphin, and by attack, I mean he was bobbing around in the water about five miles from shore, but people were screaming “SHARK!”and waving their hands around along the coastline. Real shark or not, that moment stuck with me. That memory, coupled with being freezing in any weather less than thirty degrees Celsius (摄氏), made the idea of plunging (投入) into cold water a hard pass. My husband, Mike, had been cold plunging (冰浴) for years and would present me with facts to prove that it was a good thing. By doing so, you experience benefits such as heightened energy, immune (免疫的) system support, boosted mood, better sleep, and stress reduction. It was an appealing list of benefits—none of which mattered to me. What was presented as a clear “wonder drug” was still not attractive enough for me to get out of my warm house and go swimming. Did I mention that I live in Canada? It’s minus twenty degrees Celsius here sometimes. On New Year’s Day, Mike invited me to his cold plunging. I had been thinking less about health data and more about my confidence. Do you want to do something hard? Something brave? I asked myself. Something completely scary, uncomfortable and seemingly crazy, or do you want to say no and focus on all of the reasons why you wouldn’t dare? I put on my swimsuit, covered it up with eighteen wool sweaters, and joined Mike for the adventure. In fairness, it was a beautiful day. This made the scary thing feel a little more reasonable as Inegotiated (谈判；协商) with myself the entire twelve-minute drive. My heart was already pounding. We had packed a bag with towels, blankets, warm water for cleaning our sandy feet, and a hot cup of coffee to warm our hands. 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。 I was determined to do the hard thing. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I have now been cold plunging for over a year. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: I was determined to do the hard thing. I dipped a toe in the icy waters. Slowly, I inched my legs forward until the waves unexpectedly climbed up to my kneecaps. My first cold plunging lasted five seconds. I was out of that water faster than a ball from a cannon. I screamed, laughed, and tripped. I had done it! The feeling of accomplishment washed away all my fears. I already knew I had the courage to go under, but now I had to work on staying there. The following week I stayed a little longer. I taught myself I could trust myself, knowing that I was more powerful than that taunting voice in my head. I have now been cold dipping for over a year. In the depths of winter, I have broken through ice and breathed through the icy cold. I enjoy those moments more than any other part of my day. I am thinking only about survival, not my car payment, the garden that needs cleaning, or my gray hair. The first thirty seconds are still challenging, and l always get a little nervous before I step into the lake or ocean. But I have learned to relax in this state of immersion. What began as a place of fear has become a place of finding happiness. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者很怕水，是因为八岁时，作者遭遇鲨鱼袭击，自此作者几乎没下过膝盖以下的海里。作者的丈夫一直鼓励作者冰浴，但是作者从未这么做过。元旦那天，政府鼓励作者参加冷潜活动，经过纠结，作者最终决定去冒险，虽然作者很害怕，但是最终克服恐惧，进行了冷潜。如今踏入海洋，进行冷潜，这是作者喜欢做的事，作者不再惧怕海洋。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我决心做一件困难的事。”可知，第一段可描写克服了恐惧，成功进行了冷潜。 ②由第二段首句内容“我现在已经冷潜一年多了。”可知，第二段可描写如今作者很喜欢冷潜，已经不再惧怕海洋。 2.续写线索：踏入冰水中——海浪爬到了膝盖骨上——冷潜持续了五秒钟——成功做到——克服恐惧，潜水时间更长——如今潜水一年多——享受冷潜——不再惧怕海洋 3.词汇激活行为类 ①尖叫：screamr/squeal ②信任：trust/believe in ③享受：enjoy/appreciate 情绪类 ①紧张的：nervous/tense ②幸福：happiness/felicity 【点睛】[高分句型1] Slowly, I inched my legs forward until the waves unexpectedly climbed up to my kneecaps. （由until引导的状语从句） [高分句型2] I taught myself I could trust myself, knowing that I was more powerful than that taunting voice in my head.（由现在分词作状语和that引导的宾语从句） [高分句型3] What began as a place of fear has become a place of finding happiness.（由what引导的主语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
