I have learned the most important lessons that can only be learned better if experienced. 1. Be patient in your life Things will come around if you’re patient. Patience is the key to success and people who cannot afford to wait should not expect better results. Greatness takes time. Just remember it takes 13 hours to build a Toyota but 6 months to build a Rolls-Royce. So do the work and be patient. 2. Trust the process Whatever is happening, whether good or bad, trust your life. It is not that we should blindly trust everything. We should work out what’s in our control. If we can’t work out what isn’t, then leave it. People who can’t trust the process of their lives cannot expect to excel in their lives. 3. Be optimistic but not overly optimistic We must be optimistic in our lives. Optimism can turn any situation into an achievable one. However, being optimistic doesn’t mean that we should be overconfident. Optimism is good, but over optimism isn’t because that can easily ruin the chances of getting successful. It should be like “I can do it.” and not “Oh, it is so easy; obviously I will do it.” 4. Be kind and humble One of the most common traits (特质) in people who succeeded is that they are all kind and humble. Nowadays, many people don’t believe in these moral values. No matter what the trend becomes, nothing can beat the power of kindness. Kindness is the essence of our existence and if we sustain it, we can make huge impacts on the lives of other people. 4. Why does the author make the comparison between a Toyota and a Rolls-Royce? A. To tell that a Rolls-Royce costs more than a Toyota. B. To prove that patience is important to success. C. To persuade us to be patient in everything in life. D. To explain that one can succeed if he keeps waiting. 5. What does the underlined word mean in the third paragraph? A. Break down. B. Stand out C. Get mad. D. Call off. 6. What will happen if one is overly optimistic? A. He can achieve his dream as expected. B. He can catch the chance of doing the right thing. C. He will lose the chance of making a success. D. He can turn a bad situation into a good one. 7. What moral values does the author suggest that we should have? A. Modest and kind. B. Earnest and curious. C. Confident and generous. D. Proud and ambitious. 【答案】4. B 5. B 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了自我提升关键要素：耐心、信任过程、适度乐观以及善良谦逊。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据1. Be patient in your life部分中“Patience is the key to success and people who cannot afford to wait should not expect better results. Greatness takes time. Just remember it takes 13 hours to build a Toyota but 6 months to build a Rolls-Royce. So do the work and be patient.(耐心是成功的关键，那些不愿意等待的人不应该期望有更好的结果。伟大的成就需要时间。请记住，制造一辆丰田汽车需要13小时，而打造一辆劳斯莱斯则需要6个月的时间。所以要努力工作并保持耐心)”可知，作者将丰田车和劳斯莱斯进行比较是为了证明耐心对成功很重要。故选B。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Whatever is happening, whether good or bad, trust your life. It is not that we should blindly trust everything. We should work out what’s in our control. If we can’t work out what isn’t, then leave it. People who can’t trust the process of their lives cannot expect to(无论发生什么，无论是好是坏，都要信任你的生活。并不是说我们应该盲目地相信一切。我们应该弄清楚什么在我们的控制之内，如果弄不清楚什么不在我们的控制之内，那么就放下它。那些不能信任自己生活过程的人无法期待)”可知，要相信生活并且能掌握生活，划线词所在句子表达“那些不能信任自己生活过程的人，不能期望在生活中出类拔萃”，故划线词excel与B项Stand out“脱颖而出，突出”意义相近。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据3. Be optimistic but not overly optimistic部分中“Optimism can turn any situation into an achievable one. However, being optimistic doesn’t mean that we should be overconfident. Optimism is good, but over optimism isn’t because that can easily ruin the chances of getting successful.(乐观可以将任何情况转化为可实现的目标。然而，乐观并不意味着我们应该过于自信。适度的乐观是好的，但过度乐观则不然，因为这可能会轻易地破坏成功的可能性)”可知，如果一个人过于乐观，他会失去成功的机会。故选C。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后部分“One of the most common traits in people who succeeded is that they are all kind and humble.(成功人士的共同特质之一是他们都善良且谦逊)”可知，作者建议我们应该具备谦虚和善良的道德品质。故选A。 C The question every arts, humanities (人文) and social sciences student hears regularly, “what are you going to do with that?”, has become all the more important in the last few days. Suggestions that degrees in these subjects are somehow “less valuable” have resurfaced in light of the government’s review of post-18 education funding. But a recent British Academy project showed that such statements are quite wrong. The research found that 58% of CEOs of the FTSE 100 Index companies have studied arts, either at the undergraduate or the postgraduate (本科或研究生) level. Arts graduates acquire skills in how to communicate and work with others, how to define a question and analyse the evidence to answer it, and how to work independently to solve problems with creativity. Such skills have never been more vital in a society where we need to work together across global boundaries. Entrepreneurs (创业者，企业家) need individuals who can not only interpret data, but also explain to others what it means. Design, marketing and human relations are critical to industrial and commercial success and are dependent on understanding what it means to be human — something fundamental to the study of the arts, humanities and social sciences. And while our society is already multicultural, our proficiency in navigating international trade relations and security is only going to become more important. We need people with intercultural understanding and global awareness, who can negotiate with diplomacy (外交手段). The report showed that the attitudes developed by studying the arts provide an ideal foundation for graduates to be able to take the initiative (措施) and explore new horizons. And that dedication and ability to constantly improve their own performance is reflected in the number of graduates from those subjects who go on to become CEOs and politicians. So, when faced with the question, “what are you going to do with that?”, students and parents alike should feel secure in the knowledge that an arts, humanities or social sciences degree will equip them with a head start --- transferable skills that will be prized in our future economy. We don’t know what the jobs of tomorrow will look like, but understanding human behaviour and society is surely the best way to make the most of the changes coming our way. 8 Why does the author mention the study about CEOs? A. To show students’ preference for arts learning. B. To indicate the current career trend of arts graduates. C. To stress the significance of arts education in leadership. D. To demonstrate the diversity of CEOs’ educational backgrounds. 9. What does the author think is essential for success in the business world? A. Identifying and managing security risks. B. The proficiency in analyzing complex data. C. The continuous innovation in marketing. D. Understanding human nature and relationships. 10. What may studying arts enable students to do according to paragraph 4? A. Establish authority in politics. B. Expand the network of relationships. C. Build up trust and gain cooperation. D. Seize opportunities and push boundaries. 11. Which of the following will the author probably agree with? A. It’s impossible to predict future skill needs in the economy. B. It’s unreasonable to doubt the worth of arts education. C. Arts learning equips students with better logical reasoning. D. Humanities graduates have greater access to employment options. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了艺术、人文和社会科学学位的价值，通过引用研究结果和实例，反驳了认为这些学位“价值较低”的观点，强调了这些学科所培养的沟通、分析、解决问题、跨文化理解和全球意识等技能在未来社会和经济中的重要性。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“The research found that 58% of CEOs of the FTSE 100 Index companies have studied arts, either at the undergraduate or the postgraduate(本科或研究生)level. Arts graduates acquire skills in how to communicate and work with others, how to define a question and analyse the evidence to answer it, and how to work independently to solve problems with creativity. Such skills have never been more vital in a society where we need to work together across global boundaries.(研究发现，富时 100 指数成分股公司中，有 58% 的首席执行官（CEO）都曾攻读艺术专业，要么是本科阶段，要么是研究生阶段。艺术专业毕业生掌握了诸多技能，比如如何与他人沟通及协作，如何明确问题并分析证据以解答问题，以及如何独立工作并创造性地解决问题。在如今这个需要跨越全球界限开展合作的社会中，这些技能的重要性前所未有的凸显。)”可知，文章提到富时 100 指数成分股公司中 58% 的首席执行官（CEO）都曾攻读艺术专业，后文紧接着阐述了艺术专业毕业生所具备的如沟通协作、明确并分析问题、独立且创造性解决问题等诸多重要技能，这些技能对于领导岗位来说是很关键的，通过提及关于 CEO 的这项研究，意在强调艺术教育在培养领导力等方面所具有的重要意义。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Design, marketing and human relations are critical to industrial and commercial success and are dependent on understanding what it means to be human --- something fundamental to the study of the arts, humanities and social sciences.(设计、营销以及人际关系对工商业的成功至关重要，而这些都依赖于对人性的理解——这是艺术、人文和社会科学研究的基本内容。)”可知，作者认为在商业世界中取得成功的关键是理解人性和人际关系。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“The report showed that the attitudes developed by studying the arts provide an ideal foundation for graduates to be able to take the initiative(措施)and explore new horizons.(该报告显示，通过学习艺术所培养出的思维态度为毕业生提供了一个理想的基础，使其能够采取主动并开拓新的视野。)”可知，通过学习艺术所培养出的态度为毕业生提供了一个理想的基础，使他们能够采取主动并开拓新的视野，也就是说学习艺术能够让学生抓住机会并突破界限。故选D。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Suggestions that degrees in these subjects are somehow “less valuable” have resurfaced in light of the government’s review of post-18 education funding. But a recent British Academy project showed that such statements are quite wrong.(鉴于政府对 18 岁后教育经费的审查，有关这些学科的学位在某种程度上“价值较低”的说法又重新冒了出来。但英国皇家学会最近的一个项目表明，这类说法是完全错误的。)”说明作者认为艺术教育的价值被低估了，怀疑其价值是不合理的。故选B。 D Hundreds of little robots are rolling around colleges and cities in the United States, China and elsewhere. The robots, about 50 centimeters tall, are bringing food like pizza to hungry students. “We saw demand for robot usage just go through the ceiling,” said Alastair Westgarth. He is the head of Starship Technologies, whose robots recently made their 2 millionth delivery. “I think the demand is always there, but it was brought forward by the pandemic effect.” The robots use cameras, sensors and GPS to move around and even cross streets on their own at the speed of 8 kilometers per hour. Operators keep watch on several robots at a time but they say they rarely need to stop or move them around a barrier. When a robot arrives, people enter a code from their phones to open the robot and get their food. There are some limitations for now. The robots have to be recharged regularly. They are slow and cannot travel far. They will not leave food at the door. And big cities like New York and Beijing are not welcoming them. Ji Hye Kim is chef of Miss Kim Restaurant in Ann Arbor, Michigan. She used robot delivery when her dining room was closed last year. Kim prefers robots to delivery companies which charge more and sometimes cancel orders if they do not have enough drivers. Delivery companies also group several orders per trip, she said, so food sometimes arrives cold. Robots take just one order at a time. Denis Maloney is vice president at Domino’s Pizza. His company is testing robots from Nuro, a California-based company. The robots are about 1.8 meters tall and can travel at a top speed of 40 kilometers on streets, not sidewalks. Maloney said delivery from Nuro costs more than using human drivers for now. But as the technology scales up and gets more refined, the costs will go down. 12. What do we know about robot food delivery? A. The pandemic saw sharp growth of robot food delivery. B. Only pizza can be delivered by robots to students. C. The pandemic has changed the way of food delivery. D. Robots are very popular among university students. 13. What can we infer from the operation of the robots? A. They are operated by a high level of intelligence. B. The robots run at a high speed on the street. C. The customers can take the food when the robots arrive without anything. D. The operators use a code to control the robots. 14. What is the advantage of robot food delivery according to Ji Hye Kim? A. Longer distances to travel. B. More than one order per trip. C. Lower costs than drivers. D. High speeds and exact delivery. 15. What can be the best title for the passage? A. Robots has increased business of restaurants. B. The pandemic affected people’s daily life. C. Scientists are making new types of robots. D. Robot food delivery is increasing greatly. 【答案】12. A 13. A 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了机器人送餐服务正在大幅增加的情况。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中““We saw demand for robot usage just go through the ceiling,” said Alastair Westgarth. (Alastair Westgarth说：“我们看到对机器人的使用需求正在飙升。”)”以及“I think the demand is always there, but it was brought forward by the pandemic effect. (我认为这种需求一直存在，但它是由疫情影响带来的。)”可知，新冠疫情期间，机器人送餐服务大幅增长。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“The robots use cameras, sensors and GPS to move around and even cross streets on their own at the speed of 8 kilometers per hour. Operators keep watch on several robots at a time but they say they rarely need to stop or move them around a barrier. (这些机器人使用摄像头、传感器和GPS来移动，甚至以每小时8公里的速度自己过马路。操作员同时监视几个机器人，但他们说他们几乎不需要停止或移动它们绕过障碍物。)”可知，它们被高水平的智能所控制。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“Kim prefers robots to delivery companies which charge more and sometimes cancel orders if they do not have enough drivers. (比起快递公司，Kim更喜欢机器人，因为快递公司收费更高，如果没有足够的司机，有时还会取消订单。)”可知，Ji Hye Kim认为机器人送餐的优势是成本比司机低。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段中“Hundreds of little robots are rolling around colleges and cities in the United States, China and elsewhere. The robots, about 50 centimeters tall, are bringing food like pizza to hungry students. (数以百计的小机器人正在美国、中国和其他地方的大学和城市里行走。这些机器人大约50厘米高，正在给饥饿的学生送去像披萨这样的食物。)”和第二段中““We saw demand for robot usage just go through the ceiling,” said Alastair Westgarth. (Alastair Westgarth说：“我们看到对机器人的使用需求正在飙升。”)”可知，这篇文章主要讲的是机器人送餐在美国、中国等地大学和城市中的普及和增长情况，因此最适合的标题是D选项“Robot food delivery is increasing greatly (机器人送餐大幅增长)”。故选D。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，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。 How to choose a unicycle Riding a unicycle (独轮脚踏车) can be great fun, and learning to do tricks with it is relatively easy. ____16____ There are a few guidelines for finding the right size, depending on the size of the person using it and its intended use. Most suppliers carry a wide range of sizes and can order unusual sizes when requested. Unicycle size is decided by two things: wheel size, and post length. The wheel size refers to the diameter (直径) of the wheel, which can range from 12 inches to 26 inches in size. The post length refers to the post on which the seat is mounted. ____17____ ____18____ This size is easy to manage and do tricks with. Unicycles of this size can be used indoors and outdoors, and are suitable for individuals whose inside length of the leg is between 24 inches and 33 inches. 12 inches and 16 inches are good unicycle sizes for children who are just learning to ride or those with very short legs. ____19____ Larger sizes are available for longer - legged cyclists. Generally, the larger sizes allow unicyclers to move more quickly, and are also capable of additional tricks. Most suppliers provide size charts, which assist cyclists in selecting the correct unicycle. ____20____ And there are certain rules for choosing the suitable size. For tricks and functions, the 20-inch unicycle is the best choice, while children should be given smaller ones. A. However, riding one of the wrong sizes can be uncomfortable. B. For speed and moves, larger sizes are better. C. You’ll never run out of challenges on a unicycle. D. The 20-inch unicycle is the most popular size. E. In addition, various kinds of unicycle styles exist. F. For most adults, these unicycles will feel awkward and unbalanced. G. These two factors can be adjusted to create a custom-sized unicycle for the rider. 【答案】16. A 17. G 18. D 19. F 20. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何选择合适尺寸的独轮脚踏车，包括独轮车的尺寸决定因素、不同尺寸独轮车的适用人群以及选择时的注意事项。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Riding a unicycle（独轮脚踏车）can be great fun, and learning to do tricks with it is relatively easy. (骑独轮脚踏车会非常有趣，而且学习用它来玩花样相对来说也比较容易。)”可知，上文提到骑独轮脚踏车既有趣又容易。A项“However, riding one of the wrong sizes can be uncomfortable.(然而，骑尺寸不合适的独轮车可能会让人感觉不舒服。)”与上文内容形成转折，同时引出下文“There are a few guidelines for finding the right size, depending on the size of the person using it and its intended use.(根据使用者的体型以及预期用途，有几条寻找合适尺寸的指导原则。)”。故选A。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Unicycle size is decided by two things: wheel size, and post length. The wheel size refers to the diameter(直径)of the wheel, which can range from 12 inches to 26 inches in size. The post length refers to the post on which the seat is mounted.(独轮车的尺寸由两个因素决定：车轮尺寸和车柱长度。车轮尺寸指的是车轮的直径，其大小范围从 12 英寸到 26 英寸不等。车柱长度指的是安装车座的那根支柱的长度。)”可知，上文介绍了独轮车尺寸由轮尺寸和支柱长度决定。G项“These two factors can be adjusted to create a custom-sized unicycle for the rider.(这两个因素可以进行调整，为骑行者打造一个定制尺寸的独轮车。)”承接上文，进一步说明这两个因素的作用，符合文意。故选G。 【18题详解】 根据下文内容“This size is easy to manage and do tricks with. Unicycles of this size can be used indoors and outdoors, and are suitable for individuals whose inside length of the leg is between 24 inches and 33 inches.(这个尺寸的独轮车易于操控，也便于玩花样。该尺寸的独轮车可在室内外使用，适合腿内侧长度在 24 英寸至 33 英寸之间的人使用。)”可知，下文提到这个尺寸容易操控和做技巧动作，这个尺寸的独轮车室内外都能用，适合腿内侧长度在 24 英寸到 33 英寸之间的人。D项“The 20-inch unicycle is the most popular size.(20 英寸的独轮车是最受欢迎的尺寸。)”与后文描述的这个尺寸的优点相呼应，符合语境。故选D。 【19题详解】 根据空前“12 inches and 16 inches are good unicycle sizes for children who are just learning to ride or those with very short legs. (12 英寸和 16 英寸的独轮车对于刚开始学习骑行或者腿很短的儿童来说是不错的尺寸选择。)”可知，上文提到12 英寸和 16 英寸的独轮车对于儿童或初学者很适合。F项“For most adults, these unicycles will feel awkward and unbalanced.(对于大多数成年人来说，这些独轮车会让人感觉笨拙和不平衡。)”延续上文内容，指出12 英寸和 16 英寸的独轮车不适合大多数成年人。故选F。 【20题详解】 根据下文内容“And there are certain rules for choosing the suitable size. For tricks and functions, the 20-inch unicycle is the best choice, while children should be given smaller ones. (而且在选择合适尺寸方面是有一定规则的。就玩花样和功能性而言，20 英寸的独轮车是最佳选择，而儿童则应该选择尺寸更小一点的独轮车。)”可知，下文提到了在选择合适尺寸方面有一定的规则，对于技巧和功能来说，20 英寸的独轮车是最好的选择，孩子应该用小一点尺寸的。B项“For speed and moves, larger sizes are better.(对于速度和动作来说，更大的尺寸更好。)” 与后文关于不同用途选择不同尺寸的内容相呼应，符合逻辑。故选B。 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出填入空白处的最佳选项。 Simon Griffiths is the founder of Who Gives A Crap, a company that has ____21____ the toilet paper industry.

However, the scientists recommend keeping naps to ____37____ (little) than half an hour. The brain naturally shrinks with age, but ____38____ naps could help prevent diseases like Alzheimer’s will still need extra research. Overall brain health is important for protecting against dementia as the condition is linked to disturbed sleep. The researchers suggest poor sleep is damaging the brain over time by ____39____ (cause) inflammation and affecting the connections between brain cells. “Thus, regular napping could protect against neurodegeneration by compensating for deficient sleep,” researcher Valentina Paz said. Napping might boost health, but the reverse is also ____40____ (truth) as your health can leave you so tired you need to nap more. So, researchers used ____41____ clever technique to prove that napping is beneficial. They used a gigantic natural experiment based on the DNA.

We planned to do it --- not because we didn’t like her. She was the sweetest grandma a kid could ever have, and we really loved her. We decided to play the trick just wanting to have some fun. And at that time, to our mind, it was just a harmless joke by little kids. Early in the evening of that holiday, we began our trick. Carrying a can of red paint, we secretly walked up to Grandma’s doorstep. She was hard of hearing, so we didn’t have to worry about being noticed by her. Every time we thought about how funny it would be to see Grandma try to pick up a gift that was just painted on her doorstep, we couldn’t stop laughing. It didn’t take long to finish painting the gift --- two red roses. They weren’t very artistic. But for us little farm kids and an old woman with poor eyesight, they would do. Satisfied with the painting, we knocked on the door and quickly hid behind bushes and trees near the house to watch the fun. There was a lot of giggling (咯咯地笑) going on as we were waiting for Grandma to open the door. When she finally appeared, she stood in the doorway for a minute. She looked into the darkness, with her gray hair pulled back tightly into her usual style, wiping her hands on her white apron (围裙). With nothing in sight, she said, “Who could be knocking at my door this hour of the night?” Hearing that, I couldn’t hold back the laughter till my stomach and cheeks ached. Then she looked down at her doorstep. Even from fifteen meters away, we could see the joy that shone in her eyes when she spotted the red gift at her feet. “Oh, how wonderful!” she called out happily. “A holiday gift for Grandma!I thought I was going to be forgotten again this year!” Grandma bent down to pick up her gift. This was the moment we had been waiting for. Paragraph 1: But somehow it wasn’t as much fun as we had expected. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: At that moment, I regretted playing the trick and wanted to do something to make up for it. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: But somehow it wasn’t as much fun as we had expected. Confused, Grandma touched the fresh paint for a moment. She quickly became aware of our kids’ childish trick. Her delight at having been remembered by a sweetheart on the happy holiday was short - lived. Grandma tried to smile to hide the embarrassment. Then, with as much self - respect as she could gather, she turned and walked back into her house, absently wiping the red paint on her clean, white apron. Paragraph 2: At that moment, I regretted playing the trick and wanted to do something to make up for it. Soon an idea occurred to me. I should give Grandma a real gift on the approaching Thanksgiving Day. The day after we kids made the trick, I began to prepare the gift for her. I used my pocket money I had saved for a long time before to buy roses and snacks she loved, and then I carefully packed them into a beautiful box. When the day finally came, I happily marched into Grandma’s house, with the box in my hands. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者和堂弟们在假期捉弄奶奶，随后又因为内疚而决定弥补的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“但不知怎的，这并不像我们预计的那么有趣。”以及第二段首句内容“那一刻，我后悔捉弄了奶奶，想做一些事情来弥补。”可知，第一段可描写作者看到奶奶尴尬地掩饰内心的落寞，心中充满了愧疚。 ②由第二段首句内容“那一刻，我后悔捉弄了奶奶，想做一些事情来弥补。”可知，第二段可描写作者决定为奶奶准备一份真正的礼物。 2.续写线索：虽然奶奶被捉弄了，作者他们却并不感到有趣——看到奶奶落寞的表情，以及尴尬的微笑，作者突然心生愧疚——于是，作者打算做些什么弥补自己的恶作剧——作者拿出自己的零花钱，为奶奶准备了感恩节礼物——感恩节到来时，作者开心地把礼物送给了奶奶 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①明白、意识到：be aware of/be conscious of ②努力：try to/attempt to/struggle to ③突然想到：occur to/hit 情绪类 ①困惑的：confused/puzzled ②高兴的：happy/delighted 【点睛】【高分句型1】I used my pocket money I had saved for a long time before to buy roses and snacks she loved, and then I carefully packed them into a beautiful box.（运用了省略关系代词的定语从句） 【高分句型2】When the day finally came, I happily marched into Grandma’s house, with the box in my hands.（运用了when引导的时间状语从句） 听力1-5 BBAAC 6-10 BBCBA 11-15 BACAB 16-20 ACCAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 友好学校第七十八届期末联考 高三英语 本试卷共67题，满分150分。考试用时120分钟。 注意事项： 1.答题前，考生先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写清楚，将条形码粘贴到条形码区域内。 2.选择题必须用2B铅笔填涂；非选择题必须用0.5mm黑色中性笔书写，字体工整，笔迹清楚。 3.请按照题号顺序在答题卡各题目的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在草纸、试题卷上答题无效。 4.保持卡面清洁，不要折叠，不要弄破、弄皱、不准使用涂改液、修正带、刮纸刀。 第一部分 听力理解（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，并标在相应位置。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.

I have learned the most important lessons that can only be learned better if experienced. 1. Be patient in your life Things will come around if you’re patient. Patience is the key to success and people who cannot afford to wait should not expect better results. Greatness takes time. Just remember it takes 13 hours to build a Toyota but 6 months to build a Rolls-Royce. So do the work and be patient. 2 Trust the process Whatever is happening, whether good or bad, trust your life. It is not that we should blindly trust everything. We should work out what’s in our control. If we can’t work out what isn’t, then leave it. People who can’t trust the process of their lives cannot expect to excel in their lives. 3. Be optimistic but not overly optimistic We must be optimistic in our lives. Optimism can turn any situation into an achievable one. However, being optimistic doesn’t mean that we should be overconfident. Optimism is good, but over optimism isn’t because that can easily ruin the chances of getting successful. It should be like “I can do it.” and not “Oh, it is so easy; obviously I will do it.” 4. Be kind and humble One of the most common traits (特质) in people who succeeded is that they are all kind and humble. Nowadays, many people don’t believe in these moral values. No matter what the trend becomes, nothing can beat the power of kindness. Kindness is the essence of our existence and if we sustain it, we can make huge impacts on the lives of other people. 4. Why does the author make the comparison between a Toyota and a Rolls-Royce? A. To tell that a Rolls-Royce costs more than a Toyota. B. To prove that patience is important to success. C. To persuade us to be patient in everything in life. D. To explain that one can succeed if he keeps waiting. 5. What does the underlined word mean in the third paragraph? A. Break down. B. Stand out C. Get mad. D. Call off. 6. What will happen if one is overly optimistic? A. He can achieve his dream as expected. B. He can catch the chance of doing the right thing. C. He will lose the chance of making a success. D. He can turn a bad situation into a good one. 7. What moral values does the author suggest that we should have? A. Modest and kind. B. Earnest and curious. C. Confident and generous. D. Proud and ambitious. C The question every arts, humanities (人文) and social sciences student hears regularly, “what are you going to do with that?”, has become all the more important in the last few days. Suggestions that degrees in these subjects are somehow “less valuable” have resurfaced in light of the government’s review of post-18 education funding. But a recent British Academy project showed that such statements are quite wrong. The research found that 58% of CEOs of the FTSE 100 Index companies have studied arts either at the undergraduate or the postgraduate (本科或研究生) level. Arts graduates acquire skills in how to communicate and work with others, how to define a question and analyse the evidence to answer it, and how to work independently to solve problems with creativity. Such skills have never been more vital in a society where we need to work together across global boundaries. Entrepreneurs (创业者，企业家) need individuals who can not only interpret data, but also explain to others what it means. Design, marketing and human relations are critical to industrial and commercial success and are dependent on understanding what it means to be human — something fundamental to the study of the arts, humanities and social sciences. And while our society is already multicultural, our proficiency in navigating international trade relations and security is only going to become more important. We need people with intercultural understanding and global awareness, who can negotiate with diplomacy (外交手段). The report showed that the attitudes developed by studying the arts provide an ideal foundation for graduates to be able to take the initiative (措施) and explore new horizons. And that dedication and ability to constantly improve their own performance is reflected in the number of graduates from those subjects who go on to become CEOs and politicians. So, when faced with the question, “what are you going to do with that?”, students and parents alike should feel secure in the knowledge that an arts, humanities or social sciences degree will equip them with a head start --- transferable skills that will be prized in our future economy. We don’t know what the jobs of tomorrow will look like, but understanding human behaviour and society is surely the best way to make the most of the changes coming our way. 8. Why does the author mention the study about CEOs? A. To show students’ preference for arts learning. B. To indicate the current career trend of arts graduates. C. To stress the significance of arts education in leadership. D. To demonstrate the diversity of CEOs’ educational backgrounds. 9. What does the author think is essential for success in the business world? A. Identifying and managing security risks. B. The proficiency in analyzing complex data. C The continuous innovation in marketing. D. Understanding human nature and relationships. 10. What may studying arts enable students to do according to paragraph 4? A. Establish authority in politics. B. Expand the network of relationships. C. Build up trust and gain cooperation. D. Seize opportunities and push boundaries. 11. Which of the following will the author probably agree with? A. It’s impossible to predict future skill needs in the economy. B. It’s unreasonable to doubt the worth of arts education. C. Arts learning equips students with better logical reasoning. D. Humanities graduates have greater access to employment options. D Hundreds of little robots are rolling around colleges and cities in the United States, China and elsewhere. The robots, about 50 centimeters tall, are bringing food like pizza to hungry students. “We saw demand for robot usage just go through the ceiling,” said Alastair Westgarth. He is the head of Starship Technologies, whose robots recently made their 2 millionth delivery. “I think the demand is always there, but it was brought forward by the pandemic effect.” The robots use cameras, sensors and GPS to move around and even cross streets on their own at the speed of 8 kilometers per hour. Operators keep watch on several robots at a time but they say they rarely need to stop or move them around a barrier. When a robot arrives, people enter a code from their phones to open the robot and get their food. There are some limitations for now. The robots have to be recharged regularly. They are slow and cannot travel far. They will not leave food at the door. And big cities like New York and Beijing are not welcoming them. Ji Hye Kim is chef of Miss Kim Restaurant in Ann Arbor, Michigan. She used robot delivery when her dining room was closed last year. Kim prefers robots to delivery companies which charge more and sometimes cancel orders if they do not have enough drivers. Delivery companies also group several orders per trip, she said, so food sometimes arrives cold. Robots take just one order at a time. Denis Maloney is vice president at Domino’s Pizza. His company is testing robots from Nuro, a California-based company. The robots are about 1.8 meters tall and can travel at a top speed of 40 kilometers on streets, not sidewalks. Maloney said delivery from Nuro costs more than using human drivers for now. But as the technology scales up and gets more refined, the costs will go down. 12. What do we know about robot food delivery? A. The pandemic saw sharp growth of robot food delivery. B. Only pizza can be delivered by robots to students. C. The pandemic has changed the way of food delivery. D. Robots are very popular among university students. 13. What can we infer from the operation of the robots? A. They are operated by a high level of intelligence. B. The robots run at a high speed on the street. C. The customers can take the food when the robots arrive without anything. D. The operators use a code to control the robots. 14. What is the advantage of robot food delivery according to Ji Hye Kim? A. Longer distances to travel. B. More than one order per trip. C. Lower costs than drivers. D. High speeds and exact delivery. 15. What can be the best title for the passage? A. Robots has increased business of restaurants. B. The pandemic affected people’s daily life. C. Scientists are making new types of robots. D. Robot food delivery is increasing greatly. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，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。 How to choose a unicycle Riding a unicycle (独轮脚踏车) can be great fun, and learning to do tricks with it is relatively easy. ____16____ There are a few guidelines for finding the right size, depending on the size of the person using it and its intended use.

The team showed nappers’ brains were 15 cubic centimeters (0.9 cubic inches) larger — equivalent to delaying ageing by between three and six years. However, the scientists recommend keeping naps to ____37____ (little) than half an hour. The brain naturally shrinks with age, but ____38____ naps could help prevent diseases like Alzheimer’s will still need extra research. Overall brain health is important for protecting against dementia as the condition is linked to disturbed sleep. The researchers suggest poor sleep is damaging the brain over time by ____39____ (cause) inflammation and affecting the connections between brain cells. “Thus, regular napping could protect against neurodegeneration by compensating for deficient sleep,” researcher Valentina Paz said. Napping might boost health, but the reverse is also ____40____ (truth) as your health can leave you so tired you need to nap more. So, researchers used ____41____ clever technique to prove that napping is beneficial. They used a gigantic natural experiment based on the DNA.

So the team took data from 35,000 people, ____43____ (age) 40 to 69, taking part in the UK Biobank project and simply compared those genetic “nappers” and “non-nappers”. The results, ____44____ (publishing) in the journal Sleep Health, showed a 15 cubic centimeter ____45____ (different) — equivalent to 2.6 to 6.5 years of ageing. 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 假定你是李华， 正在你校做交换生的英国好友Bruce 发邮件说他打算参加你校“Chinese Art”兴趣小组，有两门课程可以选择:剪纸(paper-cutting) 和京剧 (Beijing Opera)，希望你能给些建议。请你给他回一封邮件，内容包括: 1. 你建议的课程； 2. 你的理由； 3. 你祝福。 注意:1.短文词数不少于100。 2.内容充实，结构完整，语意连贯。 Dear Bruce, ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 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。续写的词数应为150左右。 One holiday, my two cousins and I decided to play a trick on our grandma. We planned to do it --- not because we didn’t like her. She was the sweetest grandma a kid could ever have, and we really loved her. We decided to play the trick just wanting to have some fun. And at that time, to our mind, it was just a harmless joke by little kids. Early in the evening of that holiday, we began our trick. Carrying a can of red paint, we secretly walked up to Grandma’s doorstep. She was hard of hearing, so we didn’t have to worry about being noticed by her. Every time we thought about how funny it would be to see Grandma try to pick up a gift that was just painted on her doorstep, we couldn’t stop laughing. It didn’t take long to finish painting the gift --- two red roses. They weren’t very artistic. But for us little farm kids and an old woman with poor eyesight, they would do. Satisfied with the painting, we knocked on the door and quickly hid behind bushes and trees near the house to watch the fun. There was a lot of giggling (咯咯地笑) going on as we were waiting for Grandma to open the door. When she finally appeared, she stood in the doorway for a minute. She looked into the darkness, with her gray hair pulled back tightly into her usual style, wiping her hands on her white apron (围裙). With nothing in sight, she said, “Who could be knocking at my door this hour of the night?” Hearing that, I couldn’t hold back the laughter till my stomach and cheeks ached. Then she looked down at her doorstep. Even from fifteen meters away, we could see the joy that shone in her eyes when she spotted the red gift at her feet. “Oh, how wonderful!” she called out happily. “A holiday gift for Grandma!I thought I was going to be forgotten again this year!” Grandma bent down to pick up her gift. This was the moment we had been waiting for. Paragraph 1: But somehow it wasn’t as much fun as we had expected. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: At that moment, I regretted playing the trick and wanted to do something to make up for it. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1-5 BBAAC 6-10 BBCBA 11-15 BACAB 16-20 ACCAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
