A gifted singer, Jeff began writing songs when he was in high school. “I was going to be the next Lionel Richie,” he recalls with a smile. In time, however, Jeff began to write songs, and in the early 1980s formed a group called The Steeles. Within a decade, not only had the group signed a recording contract with Daywind Records, but Jeff became a staff writer for the label and moved his family to Nashville, Tennessee. Throughout the 1990s, Jeff penned a string of hits for Daywind, including four No.1 songs for The Steeles. Not only does Jeff write for his group, but he also has his songs recorded by other artists that include Greater Vision, The Florida Boys, The Perrys, The Gaither Vocal Band and others. Jeff’s efforts have collected four BMI Awards for radio singles by Karen Peck & New River, The Inspirations, and Legacy Five, along with a popular song by The Steeles. That song also received a Dove Awards nomination (提名), as did “Not One Word” by The Collingsworth Family. What has changed for Jeff regarding songwriting over the last three decades? “I used to write everything alone, but now I enjoy co-writing, especially with my son, Brad.” The Steeles’ latest StowTown Records release, Be the Reason, contains multiple songs penned by the father and son, with each having an unusual feel. Perhaps this is because Brad — at age 30 — is writing as a young man from the point of looking forward, and Jeff — at age 63 — is writing from a pen of wisdom and experience. This may also be part of the reason that their songs are connecting with all of us: because we, as listeners, can benefit from both generations. 4. Who might Lionel Richie be? A. A staff writer. B. A friend of Jeff’s. C. A well-known singer. D. A member of The Steeles. 5. What does Paragraph 2 mainly focus on? A. Jeff’s essential role in his group. B. Jeff’s influence on other artists. C. Jeff’s secret to success as a singer. D. Jeff’s extraordinary achievements. 6. What is special about Be the Reason? A. It was completed by Bra d himself. B. It shows intergenerational interaction. C. It displays people from all walks of life. D. It received a Dove Awards nomination. 7. Which of the following can best describe Jeff? A. Talented and devoted. B. Tough and generous. C. Academic and friendly. D. Ambitious and imaginative. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了歌手兼歌曲作者Jeff Steele的职业生涯，以及他与儿子Brad的合作。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“A gifted singer, Jeff began writing songs when he was in high school. “I was going to be the next Lionel Richie,” he recalls with a smile.(Jeff 是个有天赋的歌手，高中时就开始写歌了。“我将成为下一个Lionel Richie，”他笑着回忆道)”可知，Jeff曾经梦想成为下一个Lionel Richie，可推知，Lionel Richie是一位著名歌手。故选C。 【5题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段的“Throughout the 1990s, Jeff penned a string of hits for Daywind, including four No.1 songs for The Steeles.(在整个20世纪90年代，杰夫为Daywind创作了一系列热门歌曲，其中包括The Steeles的四首冠军歌曲)”以及“Jeff’s efforts have collected four BMI Awards for radio singles by Karen Peck & New River, The Inspirations, and Legacy Five, along with a popular song by The Steeles. That song also received a Dove Awards nomination (提名), as did “Not One Word” by The Collingsworth Family.(杰夫的努力为Karen Peck&New River、The Inspirations和Legacy Five的广播单曲以及The Steeles的一首流行歌曲赢得了四项BMI奖。这首歌也获得了鸽子奖提名，柯林斯沃斯家族的Not One Word也获得了提名)”可知，本段主要讲述了Jeff在1990年代为Daywind唱片公司创作了一系列热门歌曲，包括四首排名第一的歌曲，以及其他艺术家演唱的多首热门歌曲。这表明这段主要关注的是Jeff作为歌曲作者取得的非凡成就。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The Steeles’ latest StowTown Records release, Be the Reason, contains multiple songs penned by the father and son, with each having an unusual feel.(The Steeles的最新StowTown Records发行专辑《Be the Reason》包含多首由父子二人共同创作的歌曲，每首歌都有一种不同寻常的感觉)”以及后文对父子俩创作角度的描述，可知《Be the Reason》这张专辑的特别之处在于它展现了父子两代人的互动和合作。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“A gifted singer, Jeff began writing songs when he was in high school.(Jeff是一位天赋异禀的歌手，他在高中时就开始写歌)”以及后文对他音乐生涯和创作成就的详细描述可知，Jeff是一位既有才华又致力于音乐事业的人。同时，他也在不断地创作和尝试新的合作方式，如与儿子共同创作歌曲，这也体现了他对音乐的热爱和投入。故选A。 C Kids today have access to a whole range of technology that their parents couldn’t have even dreamed would ever exist. They’ve become skilled in using smartphones far quicker than us older generations and have easily taken to the “Hey, Google”, commands of today’s speakers. But it seems that their understanding of some “old” technology is not so comprehensive. A new study, conducted by Explore Learning, presented a group of 10-year-old schoolchildren with pictures of classroom items that were commonplace in their parents’ generation. More than two thirds had no idea what the overhead projector was called, while 72% couldn’t guess what it was even used for. Guessing at its purpose, they threw out ideas like “eye machine” and “walkie talkie”, with some saying it might be used “at the dentist” or “for experimenting”. The confusion continued when they were presented with an old boombox (音箱) radio. One child shouted, “Imagine if you had this boombox and you were just carrying it around all day listening to music! That would be, like…harder!” Another excitedly called out to the old radio, “Hey Google, play Roar by Katy Perry.” Commenting on the research, Amandeep Sanghera, Head of Maths and English at Explore Learning, said, our “Back to School Rewind” survey has uncovered a fascinating - and often hilarious - general gap. It’s remarkable to see just how quickly classroom technology develops. Items that were everyday essentials (必需品) for parents have become mysterious relics to their children in just two or three decades. “This old-school tech might be gathering dust in the cupboard now, but it really shows how quickly things can change in our classrooms. It’s not just chalk that confuse today’s tech-savvy (精通科技的) kids - even the overhead projector is now a puzzling thing from the past!” “While it’s amusing to sec children puzzle over these outdated technologies, it’s also a reminder of the incredible opportunities modern tech offers in classrooms,” Amandeep Sanghera added. 8. What is the aim of paragraph 1? A. To offer the background knowledge. B. To prove children’s high intelligence. C. To bring up the topic of the passage. D. To encourage and attract more readers. 9. How might the kids react to the school tech their parents used? A. Uninterested. B. Puzzled. C. Disappointed. D. Proud. 10. What does the underlined word “hilarious” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Rare. B. Lasting. C. Abnormal. D. Funny. 11. What did the survey show? A. The wide use of advanced technology. B. The different ideas of kids and parents. C. The kids’ interest in advanced technology. D. The rapid development of classroom technology. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“探索学习”组织进行了一项新研究，研究表明小学生对他们父母那一代司空见惯的课堂技术感到困惑，这一现象显示出了科技的巨大进步。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Kids today have access to a whole range of technology that their parents couldn’t have even dreamed would ever exist. (今天的孩子们可以接触到各种各样的技术，这些技术是他们的父母做梦也想不到的。)”和第二段“But it seems that their understanding of some “old” technology is not so comprehensive. A new study, conducted by Explore Learning, presented a group of 10-year-old schoolchildren with pictures of classroom items that were commonplace in their parents’ generation. (但似乎他们对一些“老”技术的理解并不是那么全面。“探索学习”组织进行了一项新研究，向一组10岁的小学生展示了在他们父母那一代常见的课堂物品的图片。)”可知，文章在首段指出孩子们精通现代科技，然后在第二段指出他们却不了解他们的父母在上学时所使用的科技，由此推断首段的目的是引出话题。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“More than two thirds had no idea what the overhead projector was called, while 72% couldn’t guess what it was even used for. (超过三分之二的人不知道投影仪叫什么，72%的人甚至猜不出它的用途。)”可知，孩子们不了解父母上学时候使用的科技，他们叫不出一些教学设备的名字，也不知道其用途，由此推断他们是感到困惑的，而且第四段首句“The confusion continued (困惑还在继续)”也是提示信息。故选B。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“The confusion continued when they were presented with an old boombox (音箱) radio. (当他们面对一台老式立体声收音机时，困惑仍在继续。)”以及第五段中的“fascinating (极有吸引力的)”和“remarkable (非凡的)”这些词可以推断：孩子和家长之间在技术上的这种代沟是有趣的，由此推断画线词和funny在词义上最接近。故选D。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“This old-school tech might be gathering dust in the cupboard now, but it really shows how quickly things can change in our classrooms. (这种老派的技术现在可能在橱柜里积满了灰尘，但它确实显示了我们教室里的事物变化有多快。)”可知，这个调查显示了近几十年来课堂科技发生的巨大变化。故选D。 D Scott Nover, a journalist, was trying to log into a website on his laptop when he found himself staring at a picture of a woodland creature wearing a jacket with flowers and watermelon slices moving about. He had entered the strange new world of captchas (验证码). For years, people trying to shop online or log into social media accounts might be pressed to complete bothersome but largely simple tasks — working out words in distorted (变形的) type, clicking on pictures of buses, adding up numbers. Now those tasks are getting odder and require more brain power. Captcha is short for Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart. It was developed at the turn of this century to prevent bots from disrupting (扰乱) websites and their databases by pretending to be well-intentioned human users. It challenges people to prove they are humans by presenting tasks that only humans can solve. Companies use captchas to protect against bot attacks that can crash their websites. The companies and experts who design captchas have been doing all they can to stay one step ahead of the bad actors figuring out how to break them. A cottage industry of third-party captcha-solving firms has emerged. More alarmingly, so has technology that can automatically solve simple tests, such as identifying photos of motorcycles and reading distorted text. “Software has gotten really good at labeling photos,” said Kevin Gosschalk, the founder and CEO of Arkose Labs, which designs what it calls “prevention solutions”, including captchas. “So now enters a new era of captchas — logic-based.” Arkose Labs employs a staff of artists, former game designers and experts to create some of the more demanding tasks appearing during logins. Arkose says that even its hardest challenges have a first-time solve rate of 94.6%. Not all of its ideas make the cut. The team once developed a Space Invaders-style game for users to get through, but it was too hard for humans to complete on their first try. 12. What does the author think of captchas? A. They are becoming more interesting. B. They are getting more demanding. C. They are key to safe online activities. D. They are relatively easy for journalists. 13. What does Paragraph 3 mainly stress about captchas? A Their functions. B. Their purposes. C. Their disadvantages. D. Their effects. 14. What is a notable feature of Arkose Labs’ new captchas? A. They focus on photo labeling. B. They have popular artistic designs. C. They require logic-based problem-solving. D. They allow distorted text recognition. 15. What is the example of the Space Invaders-style game used to show? A. An undesired result from Arkose’s design. B. Arkose’s role in leading the industry. C. The hardest challenge facing Arkose. D. Arkose’s speed in upgrading its products. 【答案】12. B 13. B 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了验证码的目的及Arkose Labs开发的基于逻辑的新验证码。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段关键句“Now those tasks are getting odder and require more brain power. (现在，这些任务变得越来越奇怪，需要更多的脑力)”可知，作者认为，现在的验证码越来越奇怪，需要更多的脑力，由此可知，作者认为验证码的要求越来越高了。故选B项。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段关键句“It was developed at the turn of this century to prevent bots from disrupting (扰乱) websites and their databases by pretending to be well-intentioned human users. (它是在本世纪初开发的，目的是防止机器人通过假装是善意的人类用户来扰乱网站及其数据库)”可知，本段内容主要介绍了验证码的目的——防止机器人通过假装是善意的人类用户来扰乱网站及其数据库，由此可知，第3段主要强调验证码的目的。故选B项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段内容““Software has gotten really good at labeling photos,” said Kevin Gosschalk, the founder and CEO of Arkose Labs, which designs what it calls “prevention solutions”, including captchas. “So now enters a new era of captchas—logic-based.” (Arkose Labs的创始人兼首席执行官Kevin Gosschalk说：“软件在给照片贴标签方面做得非常好。”Arkose Labs设计了所谓的“预防解决方案”，包括验证码。“所以现在进入了一个基于逻辑的验证码新时代。”)”可知，Arkose Labs的新验证码进入了一个基于逻辑的验证码新时代，需要基于逻辑的问题解决，由此可知，Arkose Labs的新验证码值得注意的特点是它们需要基于逻辑的问题解决。故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段关键句“Arkose says that even its hardest challenges have a first-time solve rate of 94.6%. Not all of its ideas make the cut. The team once developed a Space Invaders-style game for users to get through, but it was too hard for humans to complete on their first try. (Arkose表示，即使是最困难的挑战，首次解决率也达到了94.6%。并非所有的想法都能成功。该团队曾为用户开发过一款太空入侵者风格的游戏，但人类第一次尝试就很难完成)”可知，Arkose团队开发的验证码即使是最困难的挑战，首次解决率也很高，但太空入侵者风格的游戏是个例外，人类第一次尝试就很难完成，由此可知，太空入侵者风格游戏的例子是Arkose设计的一个意外结果。故选A项。 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。 You might have heard that keeping a journal is a great way to record your thoughts and understand your emotions. Typical journaling involves only writing. ____16____ And because there are so many ways to express yourself in an art journal, it’s a wonderful creative outlet for both beginners and more experienced creatives. The focus on self-expression is where an art journal differs from a sketchbook (素描本). A sketchbook can have elements of art journaling, particularly when it comes to drawing or painting. ____17____ Art journaling is a way to practice self-care. It encourages you to take a little time for yourself — even if it’s just for 15 minutes a day. When you look back at what you’ve written or drawn, you can gain valuable insight into the challenges in your life. The point of creating a visual journal is not to make every page a masterpiece. ____18____ Remember, it’s just for you! Art journaling is completely customizable (可定制的) depending on your skills and interests. Many people choose to use mixed media and decorate their pages with drawing and painting materials. ____19____ The most important thing when beginning your art journal, however, is selecting the right book. ____20____ Size is one. If you enjoy making large drawing, for instance, then a bigger book might be best. Art journals look great when you feel the page, so whatever size you choose, make sure it combines well with the way you like to work. Another characteristic to think about is the type of pages in the book. Since it’s a good chance you’ll be using mixed media, select a book whose paper can handle both drawing and painting. A. Also, you become aware of your style. B. There are many considerations when it comes to picking your journal book. C. This way, you’ll save not only your money, but also your nerves. D. Others prefer sticking with a single medium that they’re comfortable with. E. But for those who are more visually-minded, an art journal is a great alternative. F. But a sketchbook doesn’t have to include imagery that relates to your inner thoughts. G. You simply need to enjoy the act of creating something without worrying about if it looks good. 【答案】16. E 17. F 18. G 19. D 20. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了艺术日记与素描本的区别、创作艺术日记的好处及选择日记本的注意事项。 【16题详解】 上文“Typical journaling involves only writing.(传统的日记只包括写作)”以及下文“And because there are so many ways to express yourself in an art journal, it’s a wonderful creative outlet for both beginners and more experienced creatives.(因为在艺术期刊上表达自己的方式有很多，所以对于初学者和更有经验的创作者来说，这都是一个很好的创意出口)”讲到传统日记只包括写作，在艺术期刊表达的方式很多，E项“但对于那些更注重视觉的人来说，艺术日记是一个很好的选择”与上文构成转折关系，说明艺术日记的优势，引出下文，符合题意。故选E。 【17题详解】 上文“A sketchbook can have elements of art journaling, particularly when it comes to drawing or painting.( 素描本可以包含艺术日记的元素，特别是在绘画方面)”说明素描本可以包含艺术日记的元素，下文“Art journaling is a way to practice self-care.(艺术日记是一种自我关怀的方式)”说明艺术日记是自我关怀的方式，F项“但素描本不必包含与内心想法相关的图像”与上文形成转折关系，说明素描本不一定要与内心想法相关，引出下文关于艺术日记作为自我关怀方式的介绍，符合题意。故选F。 【18题详解】 上文“The point of creating a visual journal is not to make every page a masterpiece.(创建可视化日记的目的不是让每一页都成为杰作)”以及下文“Remember, it’s just for you!(记住，这只是为你准备的！)”说明创作日记不是为了让其成为杰作，这只是为自己准备，G项“你只需要享受创造的行为，而不必担心它是否好看”承接上文，表示艺术日记的作用是为了自我的创作享受，不是为了杰出的作品，符合题意。故选G。 【19题详解】 上文“Many people choose to use mixed media and decorate their pages with drawing and painting materials. (许多人选择使用混合媒介，用绘画材料装饰他们的页面)”说明许多人装饰页面的做法，D项“其他人则倾向于使用他们习惯的单一媒介。”与上文形成对比关系，说明其他人的做法，符合题意。故选D。 【20题详解】 上文“The most important thing when beginning your art journal, however, is selecting the right book.(然而，在开始你的艺术日记时，最重要的是选择合适的书。)”以及下文“Size is one.(大小是一个)”说明开始艺术日记时，选择合适的书以及大小都是需要考虑的因素，由此可推知，有很多因素需要考虑，B项“当选择你的日记本时，有很多因素需要考虑”承上启下，符合题意。故选B。 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。 Being a single mom is not easy.

However, if you’re shopping for one, buying extra ____36____ (benefit) from price reductions doesn’t make sense. Either your shopping is then too heavy to carry home ____37____ you can’t use what you’ve bought while it’s still fresh. Of course, shops are not charities — they price goods in the way ____38____ will make them the most money. If most of their customers are happy to buy larger quantities, that’s ____39____ they’ll promote. But that leaves the solo (单独) customers out of pocket and disappointed. Many supermarkets are no longer doing “buy one get one free” promotions because of the ____40____ (criticize) that they lead to waste. Consumers prefer money off individual items. However, though it’s nice to get a few cents off a pack of sausages, it would help even more if they could sometimes ____41____ (offer) in smaller packs. Even the biggest sausage fan doesn’t want to eat them every day. If your supermarket sells loose produce, then buying smaller quantities is easier. Over the last two years, some supermarkets ____42____ (start) selling chicken or salad in packs ____43____ (design) with two halves containing separate portions (份). Then, when you use one section, ____44____ other stays fresh. Who knows, perhaps some of the more forward-looking ____45____ (one) may yet come out with a whole range of “just for you” pack sizes with special offers as well. 【答案】36. to benefit 37. or 38. that##which 39. what 40. criticism 41. be offered 42. have started 43. designed 44. the 45. ones 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章对商家各式各样的促销手段进行了介绍。 【36题详解】 考查动词不定式。句意：然而，如果你是想买一件，那么多买一件来享受降价是没有意义的。根据“buying extra”和“from price reductions”可知，此处是指多买一件来享受降价，所以应用to do不定式作目的状语。故填to benefit。 【37题详解】 考查固定句式。句意：要么你买东西太重，搬不回家，要么你买的东西还新鲜，就不能用了。either...or...意为“要么……要么……”，为固定句式，所以此处应用连词or。故填or。 【38题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：当然，商店不是慈善机构——他们以最赚钱的方式给商品定价。在定语从句中缺少主语，且先行词为way，所以应用关系代词that或which。故填that/which。 【39题详解】 考查名词性从句。句意：如果他们的大多数客户都乐意大量购买，那他们就会推广。在表语从句中缺少宾语，且是指事物，所以应用连接代词what。故填what。 【40题详解】 考查名词。句意：许多超市不再进行“买一送一”的促销活动，因为有人批评这种活动会造成浪费。根据“that they lead to waste”可知，此处应用名词criticism表示“批评”作宾语。故填criticism。 【41题详解】 考查含有情态动词被动语态。句意：然而，虽然一包香肠能便宜几美分是件好事，但如果有时能以小包装出售，那就更好了。动词offer意为“提供”，和主语构成被动关系，主语they代指前文中的sausages。在情态动词could后动词应用原形。故填be offered。 【42题详解】 考查现在完成时。句意：在过去的两年里，一些超市开始销售鸡肉或沙拉包装，设计成两半，拆分成两份。根据“Over the last two years”可知，此处应用现在完成时。动词start意为“开始”。故填have started。 【43题详解】 考查过去分词。句意：在过去的两年里，一些超市开始销售鸡肉或沙拉包装，设计成两半，拆分成两份。动词design意为“设计”，和谓语之间没有连词，和逻辑主语packs构成被动关系，且动作已完成，所以应用过去分词形式作后置定语。故填designed。 【44题详解】 考查冠词。句意：然后，当你使用其中一部分时，另一部分保持新鲜。the other意为“另一个”，为固定搭配，所以此处应用定冠词the。故填the。 【45题详解】 考查代词。句意：谁知道呢，也许一些更有远见的人可能还会推出一系列“只为你”的包装尺寸，并提供特别优惠。代词one意为“一个人”，在some of后应用复数形式。故填ones。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 12月3日是世界残疾人日（International Day of Persons with Disabilities），校英语社将举办以“Caring for the disabled”为主题的英语演讲比赛。假如你是英语社主席李华，请根据提示用英语写一则书面通知，发布到校园网上。 内容包括： 1. 演讲比赛的安排及意义； 2. 欢迎大家积极参与。 注意：1. 词数100左右；            2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Notice With the International Day of Persons with disabilities approaching, ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Notice With the International Day of Persons with disabilities approaching, the school English club is to hold an English speech contest themed “Caring for the Disabled”.

One day, her class teacher talked about gifts and how it was much more important to give them than to receive them. She said that she hoped all the boys and girls in the class would remember to give something, however small, to their loved ones to show how much they loved them. Afterward Lucy thought a good deal about what the teacher had said and wondered how she could afford to give anything to anybody. Her daddy gave her $1 a week for pocket money, and that didn’t go very far these days. Somehow, she thought, she would try to buy something for mother, and father, and brother, and sister, but, oh, dear, there was Grandma, too! What could she do about Grandma? The next time she went to class she asked the teacher if it would be acceptable to give Grandma just a card. The teacher said Grandma would be happy to receive the smallest thing if it was given in love. So Lucy began searching for a card for Grandma that wouldn’t cost too much. One day she saw it. The very one! It had a picture of a cat on it, and Lucy remembered that Grandma had just lost old tabby cat(斑猫)that she had loved so much. So she bought the card, paying one whole week’s pocket money for it. On the day Lucy gave Grandma the card, she was overjoyed to see how pleased Grandma was. She said the picture of the cat was just like her own precious tabby. This gave Lucy an idea. “Someday,” she said to herself, “I’ll buy my granny a real cat. Just think how happy she’ll be then!” She found a pet shop and asked how much a real cat would cost. “Twenty dollars,” said the man. Lucy’s face fell. Twenty dollars! How in the world would she ever get $20? That would take all her pocket money for 20 weeks — five whole months! 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。 As she stood on the street, Lucy felt something brushing her leg. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Two months later, Lucy went to the lady’s house to get a baby cat. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】As she stood on the street, Lucy felt something brushing her leg. Looking down, she saw a beautiful tabby cat. For a moment she was tempted to pick it up and run home with it. However, she quickly dismissed the thought. Just then, a lady called out, “My cat seems to like you.” Lucy responded with a smile, expressing her desire to give one to Grandma and her concern over the cost of $20 at the pet shop. The lady nodded sympathetically, mentioning that her cat would soon have kittens. She would love Lucy to come and choose one for her grandma once they are old enough. Overjoyed, Lucy thanked the lady warmly. Two months later, Lucy went to the lady’s house to get a baby cat. There, she found four adorable kittens and chose the one that looked the most like the cat Grandma had lost. As she made her way back home, eager to deliver the precious gift to her grandma, the anticipation consumed her. When Lucy finally presented the cat, Grandma was surprised and pleased. After learning the heartwarming story behind the thoughtful gesture, Grandma was also deeply touched. As Lucy saw the kitten in Grandma’s arms, she knew her gift had brought immeasurable joy to her beloved grandma. 【解析】 【导语】本文以小露西为线索展开，讲述了露西在老师的启发下决定给家人买礼物，但因资金有限只能给奶奶买了一张卡片，卡片上的图案让露西萌生了给奶奶买一只真猫的想法，然而真猫的价格对她来说太贵了。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当她站在街上时，露西感觉到有什么东西蹭着她的腿。”可知，第一段可描写露西遇到了一只猫，猫的主人提出等猫生下小猫后让露西来选一只。 ②由第二段首句内容“两个月后，露西去那位女士家拿小猫。”可知，第二段可描写露西选了一只最像奶奶丢失的猫的小猫，并将小猫送给奶奶，奶奶很高兴。 2.续写线索：露西遇到猫——猫主人提出让露西选小猫——露西期待选小猫——露西选小猫——露西送小猫给奶奶——奶奶很高兴 3.词汇激活： 行为类： ①挑选：pick/choose ②呈现：present/show ③感动：touch/move 情绪类： ①可爱的：adorable/cute/lovely ②热切的：eager/keen ③惊讶的：surprised/astonished 【点睛】[高分句型1] Looking down, she saw a beautiful tabby cat.(运用了现在分词作时间状语) [高分句型2] When Lucy finally presented the cat, Grandma was surprised and pleased.(运用了从属连词when引导的时间状语从句) [高分句型3] As Lucy saw the kitten in Grandma’s arms, she knew her gift had brought immeasurable joy to her beloved grandma.(运用了从属连词as引导的时间状语从句和省略连词that的宾语从句) 听力：1---5 BCCAB 6---10 CABAB 11--15 BACCA 16--20 BBCAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2026届高二年级第三次月考英语试题 注意事项： 1.答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在本试卷和答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应的答案标号涂黑，如有改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案；回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 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。 例: How much is the shirt?

A gifted singer, Jeff began writing songs when he was in high school. “I was going to be the next Lionel Richie,” he recalls with a smile. In time, however, Jeff began to write songs, and in the early 1980s formed a group called The Steeles. Within a decade, not only had the group signed a recording contract with Daywind Records, but Jeff became a staff writer for the label and moved his family to Nashville, Tennessee. Throughout the 1990s Jeff penned a string of hits for Daywind, including four No.1 songs for The Steeles. Not only does Jeff write for his group, but he also has his songs recorded by other artists that include Greater Vision, The Florida Boys, The Perrys, The Gaither Vocal Band and others. Jeff’s efforts have collected four BMI Awards for radio singles by Karen Peck & New River, The Inspirations, and Legacy Five, along with a popular song by The Steeles. That song also received a Dove Awards nomination (提名), as did “Not One Word” by The Collingsworth Family. What has changed for Jeff regarding songwriting over the last three decades? “I used to write everything alone, but now I enjoy co-writing, especially with my son, Brad.” The Steeles’ latest StowTown Records release, Be the Reason, contains multiple songs penned by the father and son, with each having an unusual feel. Perhaps this is because Brad — at age 30 — is writing as a young man from the point of looking forward, and Jeff — at age 63 — is writing from a pen of wisdom and experience. This may also be part of the reason that their songs are connecting with all of us: because we, as listeners, can benefit from both generations. 4. Who might Lionel Richie be? A. A staff writer. B. A friend of Jeff’s. C. A well-known singer. D. A member of The Steeles. 5. What does Paragraph 2 mainly focus on? A. Jeff’s essential role in his group. B. Jeff’s influence on other artists. C. Jeff’s secret to success as a singer. D. Jeff’s extraordinary achievements. 6. What is special about Be the Reason? A. It was completed by Bra d himself. B. It shows intergenerational interaction. C. It displays people from all walks of life. D. It received a Dove Awards nomination. 7. Which of the following can best describe Jeff? A. Talented and devoted. B. Tough and generous. C. Academic and friendly. D. Ambitious and imaginative. C Kids today have access to a whole range of technology that their parents couldn’t have even dreamed would ever exist. They’ve become skilled in using smartphones far quicker than us older generations and have easily taken to the “Hey, Google”, commands of today’s speakers. But it seems that their understanding of some “old” technology is not so comprehensive. A new study, conducted by Explore Learning, presented a group of 10-year-old schoolchildren with pictures of classroom items that were commonplace in their parents’ generation. More than two thirds had no idea what the overhead projector was called, while 72% couldn’t guess what it was even used for. Guessing at its purpose, they threw out ideas like “eye machine” and “walkie talkie”, with some saying it might be used “at the dentist” or “for experimenting”. The confusion continued when they were presented with an old boombox (音箱) radio. One child shouted, “Imagine if you had this boombox and you were just carrying it around all day listening to music! That would be, like…harder!” Another excitedly called out to the old radio, “Hey Google, play Roar by Katy Perry.” Commenting on the research, Amandeep Sanghera, Head of Maths and English at Explore Learning, said, our “Back to School Rewind” survey has uncovered a fascinating - and often hilarious - general gap. It’s remarkable to see just how quickly classroom technology develops. Items that were everyday essentials (必需品) for parents have become mysterious relics to their children in just two or three decades. “This old-school tech might be gathering dust in the cupboard now, but it really shows how quickly things can change in our classrooms. It’s not just chalk that confuse today’s tech-savvy (精通科技的) kids - even the overhead projector is now a puzzling thing from the past!” “While it’s amusing to sec children puzzle over these outdated technologies, it’s also a reminder of the incredible opportunities modern tech offers in classrooms,” Amandeep Sanghera added. 8. What is the aim of paragraph 1? A. To offer the background knowledge. B. To prove children’s high intelligence. C. To bring up the topic of the passage. D. To encourage and attract more readers. 9. How might the kids react to the school tech their parents used? A. Uninterested. B. Puzzled. C. Disappointed. D. Proud. 10 What does the underlined word “hilarious” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Rare. B. Lasting. C. Abnormal. D. Funny. 11. What did the survey show? A. The wide use of advanced technology. B. The different ideas of kids and parents. C. The kids’ interest in advanced technology. D. The rapid development of classroom technology. D Scott Nover, a journalist, was trying to log into a website on his laptop when he found himself staring at a picture of a woodland creature wearing a jacket with flowers and watermelon slices moving about. He had entered the strange new world of captchas (验证码). For years, people trying to shop online or log into social media accounts might be pressed to complete bothersome but largely simple tasks — working out words in distorted (变形的) type, clicking on pictures of buses, adding up numbers. Now those tasks are getting odder and require more brain power. Captcha is short for Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart. It was developed at the turn of this century to prevent bots from disrupting (扰乱) websites and their databases by pretending to be well-intentioned human users. It challenges people to prove they are humans by presenting tasks that only humans can solve. Companies use captchas to protect against bot attacks that can crash their websites. The companies and experts who design captchas have been doing all they can to stay one step ahead of the bad actors figuring out how to break them. A cottage industry of third-party captcha-solving firms has emerged. More alarmingly, so has technology that can automatically solve simple tests, such as identifying photos of motorcycles and reading distorted text. “Software has gotten really good at labeling photos,” said Kevin Gosschalk, the founder and CEO of Arkose Labs, which designs what it calls “prevention solutions”, including captchas. “So now enters a new era of captchas — logic-based.” Arkose Labs employs a staff of artists, former game designers and experts to create some of the more demanding tasks appearing during logins. Arkose says that even its hardest challenges have a first-time solve rate of 94.6%. Not all of its ideas make the cut. The team once developed a Space Invaders-style game for users to get through, but it was too hard for humans to complete on their first try. 12 What does the author think of captchas? A.

Typical journaling involves only writing. ____16____ And because there are so many ways to express yourself in an art journal, it’s a wonderful creative outlet for both beginners and more experienced creatives. The focus on self-expression is where an art journal differs from a sketchbook (素描本). A sketchbook can have elements of art journaling, particularly when it comes to drawing or painting. ____17____ Art journaling is a way to practice self-care. It encourages you to take a little time for yourself — even if it’s just for 15 minutes a day. When you look back at what you’ve written or drawn, you can gain valuable insight into the challenges in your life. The point of creating a visual journal is not to make every page a masterpiece. ____18____ Remember, it’s just for you! Art journaling is completely customizable (可定制的) depending on your skills and interests. Many people choose to use mixed media and decorate their pages with drawing and painting materials. ____19____ The most important thing when beginning your art journal, however, is selecting the right book. ____20____ Size is one. If you enjoy making large drawing, for instance, then a bigger book might be best. Art journals look great when you feel the page, so whatever size you choose, make sure it combines well with the way you like to work. Another characteristic to think about is the type of pages in the book. Since it’s a good chance you’ll be using mixed media, select a book whose paper can handle both drawing and painting. A. Also, you become aware of your style. B. There are many considerations when it comes to picking your journal book. C. This way, you’ll save not only your money, but also your nerves. D. Others prefer sticking with a single medium that they’re comfortable with. E. But for those who are more visually-minded, an art journal is a great alternative. F. But a sketchbook doesn’t have to include imagery that relates to your inner thoughts. G. You simply need to enjoy the act of creating something without worrying about if it looks good. 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。 Being a single mom is not easy.

However, if you’re shopping for one, buying extra ____36____ (benefit) from price reductions doesn’t make sense. Either your shopping is then too heavy to carry home ____37____ you can’t use what you’ve bought while it’s still fresh. Of course, shops are not charities — they price goods in the way ____38____ will make them the most money. If most of their customers are happy to buy larger quantities, that’s ____39____ they’ll promote. But that leaves the solo (单独) customers out of pocket and disappointed. Many supermarkets are no longer doing “buy one get one free” promotions because of the ____40____ (criticize) that they lead to waste. Consumers prefer money off individual items. However, though it’s nice to get a few cents off a pack of sausages, it would help even more if they could sometimes ____41____ (offer) in smaller packs. Even the biggest sausage fan doesn’t want to eat them every day. If your supermarket sells loose produce, then buying smaller quantities is easier. Over the last two years, some supermarkets ____42____ (start) selling chicken or salad in packs ____43____ (design) with two halves containing separate portions (份). Then, when you use one section, ____44____ other stays fresh. Who knows, perhaps some of the more forward-looking ____45____ (one) may yet come out with a whole range of “just for you” pack sizes with special offers as well. 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 12月3日是世界残疾人日（International Day of Persons with Disabilities），校英语社将举办以“Caring for the disabled”为主题的英语演讲比赛。假如你是英语社主席李华，请根据提示用英语写一则书面通知，发布到校园网上。 内容包括： 1. 演讲比赛的安排及意义； 2. 欢迎大家积极参与。 注意：1. 词数100左右；            2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Notice With the International Day of Persons with disabilities approaching, ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第二节（满分25分） 47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Little Lucy lived in a very poor part of a big city. One day, her class teacher talked about gifts and how it was much more important to give them than to receive them. She said that she hoped all the boys and girls in the class would remember to give something, however small, to their loved ones to show how much they loved them. Afterward Lucy thought a good deal about what the teacher had said and wondered how she could afford to give anything to anybody. Her daddy gave her $1 a week for pocket money, and that didn’t go very far these days. Somehow, she thought, she would try to buy something for mother, and father, and brother, and sister, but, oh, dear, there was Grandma, too! What could she do about Grandma? The next time she went to class she asked the teacher if it would be acceptable to give Grandma just a card. The teacher said Grandma would be happy to receive the smallest thing if it was given in love. So Lucy began searching for a card for Grandma that wouldn’t cost too much. One day she saw it. The very one! It had a picture of a cat on it, and Lucy remembered that Grandma had just lost old tabby cat(斑猫)that she had loved so much. So she bought the card, paying one whole week’s pocket money for it. On the day Lucy gave Grandma the card, she was overjoyed to see how pleased Grandma was. She said the picture of the cat was just like her own precious tabby. This gave Lucy an idea. “Someday,” she said to herself, “I’ll buy my granny a real cat. Just think how happy she’ll be then!” She found a pet shop and asked how much a real cat would cost. “Twenty dollars,” said the man. Lucy’s face fell. Twenty dollars! How in the world would she ever get $20? That would take all her pocket money for 20 weeks — five whole months! 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。 As she stood on the street, Lucy felt something brushing her leg. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Two months later, Lucy went to the lady’s house to get a baby cat. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力：1---5 BCCAB 6---10 CABAB 11--15 BACCA 16--20 BBCAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
