But while for me they represent treasured memories, to others they are more often than not simply a collection of boring, badly composed, out-of-focus pictures. So this year I decided to do something about this by booking myself on a trip to Rome which included photography lessons. The first time I went to Rome, I remember thinking that it was a fantastic place for photographers with a wonderful photo opportunity lying around every corner. Yet by myself I didn’t have a clue how to go about getting some good shots. Added to this was the fact that there were crowds of tourists everywhere, blocking all the best views. But this second time things were different. Antonio, my photography tutor, was on hand to give expert advice every step of the way. The first thing Antonio told our group was that the secret to creating a good photographic image rather than just a snapshot (快照) is to first take a long look at what you want to photograph. Our first port of call was Piazza Navona, where Antonio gave us advice about how to photograph the Fountain of Neptune. For the next couple of hours, we wandered around the historic center visiting many of Rome’s architectural highlights. I didn’t get at all tired, even though I was on my feet for such a long time. And I felt that I was really able to appreciate the sights as I had to look at each one so carefully in order to get good pictures. It felt like a whole new world had opened up to me. I learnt an incredible amount over the next two days, as well as having a thoroughly enjoyable time in one of the world’s most beautiful cities. Maybe my friends and family will show a little more enthusiasm when I show them my holiday snaps from now on! 24. What motivated the author to book a photography trip to Rome? A. Her interest in trying out a new hobby. B. Her desire to explore the city of Rome. C. Her dissatisfaction with her photography skills. D. Her hope of finding inspiration for her photography. 25. Which words can best describe the author’s first experience in Rome? A. Confusing and disappointing. B. Comfortable and uneventful. C. Fantastic and adventurous. D. Relaxing and interesting. 26. What did Antonio suggest concerning photography in Rome? A. Taking multiple snapshots of each subject. B. Observing the subject before taking a photo. C. Avoiding crowded areas for better pictures. D. Looking at surroundings to unlock their secrets. 27. How did the author benefit from her photography tour of Rome? A. She began to see things in a new light. B. She understood her friends and family better. C. She was able to appreciate beautiful photos. D. She became more enthusiastic about snapshots. C As summer begins children get time off from school; offices get a little more empty. A vacation mindset is not hard to find. But it’s not always realistic. Maybe you aren’t granted so many vacation days. Maybe finances prohibit taking time off, as overtime hours are important to your personal bottom line. The good news, though, is that sometimes a plain old weekend can bring mental health benefits — if you treat it like a vacation. Research appears to back up this. In a study led by Mogilner of the UCLA School of Management, half of the participants were told on a Friday to treat their weekend like any other weekend, and half were told to treat it like a vacation. How the participants interpreted those instructions was up to them: they were free to spend the weekend. When they returned to work on Monday, those who had been assigned to take on the vacation mindset scored higher on happiness measures, even when the amount of money they spent was controlled for. A follow-up study tracked what participants were thinking and doing throughout the weekend. And indeed, the people who had been instructed to have a vacation mindset did spend their time slightly differently from the people who were in “normal weekend” mode: The former did less housework, and spent more time in bed. But what seemed to drive the happiness most was not these subtle shifts in behavior; instead, it was the attitude of mindfulness that they gave to even “normal” weekend activities. So, it seems that happiness is boosted by savoring. Pausing, slowing down, and having an attitude of gratitude for the present moment have always been at the heart of mindfulness, so it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that the outcomes of such a mindset are quite positive. The next time you have a free day, or even just a a free hour, think about ways to view it as a break from the ordinary. It just might make you feel better, even once you’re back at work. 28. What does the author intend to show in paragraph 1? A. The effect of vacation mindset. B. The importance of vacation time. C. The actual situation about vacation. D. The conflicting schedule within a family. 29. Which is closest in meaning to “back up” in paragraph 3? A. Turn against. B. Check up. C. Come up with. D. Stand up for. 30. What did the follow-up study really focus on? A. What the “normal weekend” mode was. B. What the participants enjoyed most at weekends. C. Why the former participants were happier. D. Who were likely to have a vacation mindset. 31. What might be the best title of this passage? A. New activities brings benefits. B. Vacation time should be extended. C. More vacations cause more anxiety. D. Shifting mindset about a plain time counts. D Chimps live in a male-dominated society, where most of their valuable partners are other males. However, as young male chimps become adults, they continue to maintain tight bonds with their mothers, a new study finds. The dramatic changes of adolescence (青春期) are difficult for chimps, just like they are for humans, says Elizabeth Lonsdorf, an expert on primates at Franklin & Marshall College who was not involved in the study. “Sure enough,” she adds, “their moms remain a key social partner during this time.” Previous research has shown chimp mothers provide their sons with support that goes far beyond nursing. Young male chimps that are close with their moms grow bigger and have a greater chance of survival. What’s more, losing their mothers after weaning (断奶), but before age 12, gets in the way of the ability of young chimps to win other males and reproduce. To see whether this bond extends later into life, researchers followed 29 adolescent (9 to 15 years old) and young adult (16 to 20 years old) male chimps at a research site in Kibale National Park in Uganda and observed them from a distance for 3 years. The team found that the young adult males spent less time with their mothers than the adolescents did — 26% vs. 76%. As the male chimps grew older and more independent, they began to travel over wider ranges and spent more time away from their moms. However, when these young adult males happened to be in the company of their mothers, they acted just like the adolescents. They groomed (梳理) their moms just as often and kept track of them. “Many mothers remained the males’ ‘best friends’, or ‘social partners’ they associated with most frequently,” says study co-leader Rachna Reddy from Harvard University. Such persistent ties are also common in humans after sons leave their mothers and live on their own — especially in tough times, Reddy says. “We really feel what it’s like to not be able to see our mothers when we want to in tough times. The importance of those bonds in our lives and the comfort we get from them have deep evolutionary roots.” 32. What do we know about Elizabeth Lonsdorf? A. She is in favor of the new study’s finding. B. She played a supporting role in the new study. C. She did a different study on chimps’ adolescence before. D. She thinks chimps actually live in a female-dominated society. 33. What may happen when a male chimp loses its mother at 8? A. It may be easier for it to produce babies. B. It may be hard for it to interact with other chimps. C. It may be much more aggressive than other males. D. It may be tough for it to defeat other males. 34. What did the researchers probably do during their study? A. They took care of some motherless chimps. B. They worked hard to win the chimps’ trust. C. They recorded the chimps’ social interaction. D. They limited the chimps’ range of movement. 35. What does Reddy aim to do in the last paragraph? A. To stress the purpose of the study. B. To emphasize the significance of the study. C. To improve humans’ mother-son relationship. D. To make a comparison between chimps and humans. 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。 We all postpone sometimes.

The temperature was fairly low, the sky was pretty clear and the wind was very gentle. Naturally, running was really good. I was running the first leg of a 20-mile race through some hills. Birds were warbling in the trees. The gentle wind was stroking my face. I felt at ease and full of energy. In spite of the fact that the race was occurring in the hills, I thought it would be wonderful. In front of me was John, a student from Green High school. He was running with ease and at comfortable speed. Therefore, I decided to stay where he was. I didn’t think it necessary to concentrate on setting my own pace, since John was such a nice pacesetter. I would run before him, immediately he consumed all of his energy. I ran after John closely. The course extended north for 7 miles, wandered west for 2 miles, and turned south again. The race was getting increasingly challenging. When 4 miles remained to be covered, I was all but worn out. My lungs were burning and legs seemed broken. John overtook the boy ahead of him. Obviously, they were familiar with each other, because they exchanged some words. Their brief exchange made me worried. Runners don’t chat during a race unless they feel really good and John was running energetically. His steps were bouncy (弹性好的) while my springiness (轻快) was gone. Still, I was desiring to go ahead of John. As long as he was totally tired, I would make it. We were approaching a hill, a mile from the finish line. Whatever happened on the hill would surely determine who would cross it first. When I ran up the hill, my attention was wandering for several minutes. When I looked up, John was running away, leaving me far behind. It was hopeless to overtake John. 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。 Suddenly, John slowed down and sat onto the ground with a sharp pain. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A reporter photographed this touching scene and posted it online ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 南安一中2024～2025学年度上学期高二年第二次阶段考 英语科试卷 注意事项： 1．答题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在试卷和答题卡上。 2．选择题的作答：每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3．非选择题的作答：用黑色签字笔直接答在答题卡上对应的答题区域内。写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 4．请保持答题卡整洁，避免折叠。考试结束后，请将答题卡上交。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt? 　A. £19.15.

Have you been waiting at the station long? W: Only half an hour. But let’s get out of this cold and go to my apartment! How are you feeling after that long bus ride? M: Ah, it wasn’t too bad. It was only eighteen hours. W: That’s crazy! You could have flown here from London for 70 euros, and it would only have taken an hour and a half. Was it really worth all that time, just to save a bit of money? M: Well, it was a pretty uncomfortable ride, to be honest. The bus was starting to smell toward the end of it, and there was a guy who was breathing really loudly while he was sleeping.

The boat the three fishermen took was 25 feet long. 【答案】17. C 18. B 19. A 20. C 【解析】 【原文】Today we are bringing you a story from real life. Three Mexican fishermen have been rescued after floating in a small boat for about nine months across thousands of miles of the Pacific Ocean. The three fishermen left their home of San Blas on Mexico’s Pacific coast last November and were blown 5,000 miles off course after their 25-foot rubber boat ran out of gas and they were left to the mercy of the winds. The fishermen were able to survive by eating raw fish and sea birds. They caught any bird that landed on their boat and ate it uncooked. Their difficult and unpleasant experience finally ended a week ago when they were rescued by a Taiwanese fishing boat in waters between the Marshall Islands and Kiribati. They were very skinny and very hungry but they were definitely in a fine mental state. News of their rescue shocked friends and relatives. They were overjoyed, since they had given the fishermen up for dead, announcing their deaths in June. 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Begin your global journey At University of Wisconsin (UW)-Eau Claire, you’ll find your investment pays off well before you graduate.

But while for me they represent treasured memories, to others they are more often than not simply a collection of boring, badly composed, out-of-focus pictures. So this year I decided to do something about this by booking myself on a trip to Rome which included photography lessons. The first time I went to Rome, I remember thinking that it was a fantastic place for photographers with a wonderful photo opportunity lying around every corner. Yet by myself I didn’t have a clue how to go about getting some good shots. Added to this was the fact that there were crowds of tourists everywhere, blocking all the best views. But this second time things were different. Antonio, my photography tutor, was on hand to give expert advice every step of the way. The first thing Antonio told our group was that the secret to creating a good photographic image rather than just a snapshot (快照) is to first take a long look at what you want to photograph. Our first port of call was Piazza Navona, where Antonio gave us advice about how to photograph the Fountain of Neptune. For the next couple of hours, we wandered around the historic center visiting many of Rome’s architectural highlights. I didn’t get at all tired, even though I was on my feet for such a long time. And I felt that I was really able to appreciate the sights as I had to look at each one so carefully in order to get good pictures. It felt like a whole new world had opened up to me. I learnt an incredible amount over the next two days, as well as having a thoroughly enjoyable time in one of the world’s most beautiful cities. Maybe my friends and family will show a little more enthusiasm when I show them my holiday snaps from now on! 24. What motivated the author to book a photography trip to Rome? A. Her interest in trying out a new hobby. B. Her desire to explore the city of Rome. C. Her dissatisfaction with her photography skills. D. Her hope of finding inspiration for her photography. 25. Which words can best describe the author’s first experience in Rome? A. Confusing and disappointing. B. Comfortable and uneventful. C. Fantastic and adventurous. D. Relaxing and interesting. 26. What did Antonio suggest concerning photography in Rome? A. Taking multiple snapshots of each subject. B. Observing the subject before taking a photo. C. Avoiding crowded areas for better pictures. D. Looking at surroundings to unlock their secrets. 27. How did the author benefit from her photography tour of Rome? A. She began to see things in a new light. B. She understood her friends and family better. C. She was able to appreciate beautiful photos. D. She became more enthusiastic about snapshots. 【答案】24. C 25. A 26. B 27. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者在文中主要讲述了自己的一次罗马摄影之旅及所获。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“But while for me they represent treasured memories, to others they are more often than not simply a collection of boring, badly composed, out-of-focus pictures. So this year I decided to do something about this by booking myself on a trip to Rome which included photography lessons.”（但对我来说，它们代表着珍贵的回忆，而对其他人来说，它们往往仅是一组无聊的、构图糟糕的、失焦的照片。所以今年我决定做点什么，我预定了一趟罗马之旅，其中包括摄影课程。）可知，作者之前所拍的照片没有得到他人的认可。因此，她应该对自己的摄影技巧感到不满，所以才为自己预订了罗马摄影之旅。故选C项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Yet by myself I didn’t have a clue how to go about getting some good shots. Added to this was the fact that there were crowds of tourists everywhere, blocking all the best views.”（然而，就我自己而言，我不知道如何才能拍出好照片。除此之外，到处都是成群的游客，挡住了所有最好的风景。）可知，作者第一次去罗马时，一方面不知道去哪里拍好照片，另一方面到处都是游客，挡住了所有最好的景色。由此可见，作者的那次旅行是让她迷茫和失望的。故选A项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The first thing Antonio told our group was that the secret to creating a good photographic image rather than just a snapshot (快照) is to first take a long look at what you want to photograph.”（安东尼奥告诉我们的第一件事是，要想拍出一张好的照片，而不仅仅是一张快照，秘诀是首先要长时间地看你想拍的东西。）可知，关于罗马的摄影，安东尼奥建议拍照前观察拍摄对象。故选B项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“And I felt that I was really able to appreciate the sights as I had to look at each one so carefully in order to get good pictures. It felt like a whole new world had opened up to me.”（我觉得我真的能够欣赏风景，因为为了拍出好照片，我必须仔细观察每一个风景。感觉一个全新的世界向我敞开了大门。）可推知，作者开始真正欣赏自己想拍的景物，也开始用新的眼光看待事物。故选A项。 C As summer begins, children get time off from school; offices get a little more empty. A vacation mindset is not hard to find. But it’s not always realistic. Maybe you aren’t granted so many vacation days. Maybe finances prohibit taking time off, as overtime hours are important to your personal bottom line. The good news, though, is that sometimes a plain old weekend can bring mental health benefits — if you treat it like a vacation. Research appears to back up this. In a study led by Mogilner of the UCLA School of Management, half of the participants were told on a Friday to treat their weekend like any other weekend, and half were told to treat it like a vacation. How the participants interpreted those instructions was up to them: they were free to spend the weekend. When they returned to work on Monday, those who had been assigned to take on the vacation mindset scored higher on happiness measures, even when the amount of money they spent was controlled for. A follow-up study tracked what participants were thinking and doing throughout the weekend. And indeed, the people who had been instructed to have a vacation mindset did spend their time slightly differently from the people who were in “normal weekend” mode: The former did less housework, and spent more time in bed. But what seemed to drive the happiness most was not these subtle shifts in behavior; instead, it was the attitude of mindfulness that they gave to even “normal” weekend activities. So, it seems that happiness is boosted by savoring. Pausing, slowing down, and having an attitude of gratitude for the present moment have always been at the heart of mindfulness, so it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that the outcomes of such a mindset are quite positive. The next time you have a free day, or even just a a free hour, think about ways to view it as a break from the ordinary. It just might make you feel better, even once you’re back at work. 28. What does the author intend to show in paragraph 1? A. The effect of vacation mindset. B. The importance of vacation time. C. The actual situation about vacation. D. The conflicting schedule within a family. 29. Which is closest in meaning to “back up” in paragraph 3? A. Turn against. B. Check up. C. Come up with. D. Stand up for. 30. What did the follow-up study really focus on? A. What the “normal weekend” mode was. B. What the participants enjoyed most at weekends. C. Why the former participants were happier. D Who were likely to have a vacation mindset. 31. What might be the best title of this passage? A. New activities brings benefits. B. Vacation time should be extended. C. More vacations cause more anxiety. D. Shifting mindset about a plain time counts. 【答案】28. C 29. D 30. C 31. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇一篇说明文。文章讲述了研究表明通过转变度假心态，会带来不同的快乐感受。 28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“A vacation mindset (心态) is not hard to find. But it’s not always realistic. Maybe you aren’t granted so many vacation days. Maybe finances prohibit taking time off, as overtime hours are important to your personal bottom line. (度假心态并不难找到。但这并不总是现实的。也许你没有那么多假期。也许经济状况不允许你请假，因为加班时间对你个人的底线很重要。)”可知，作者在首段旨在展示度假的现实情况是怎样的。故选C。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。划线词所在句中的this指代上文第二段中的观点。根据第二段“The good news, though, is that sometimes a plain old weekend can bring mental health benefits — if you treat it like a vacation.(不过，好消息是，如果你像度假一样对待它，有时一个普通的周末也能带来心理健康益处。)”及全文可知，研究支持第二段提出的观点：有时，如果你把一个普通的周末当作度假，它会给心理健康带来好处。所以back up为“支持”之意。故选D。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“When they returned to work on Monday, those who had been assigned to take on the vacation mindset scored higher on happiness measures, even when the amount of money they spent was controlled for.(当他们周一回到工作岗位时，那些被分配采取度假心态的人在幸福感方面得分更高，即使他们花的钱是可控的。)”以及第五段“A follow-up study tracked what participants were thinking and doing throughout the weekend. And indeed, the people who had been instructed to have a vacation mindset did spend their time slightly differently from the people who were in “normal weekend” mode: The former did less housework, and spent more time in bed. But what seemed to drive the happiness most was not these subtle shifts in behavior; instead, it was the attitude of mindfulness that they gave to even “normal” weekend activities.(一项后续研究追踪了参与者在整个周末的想法和行为。事实上，那些被指示拥有度假心态的人确实与那些处于“正常周末”模式的人在时间上略有不同：前者做的家务更少，花在床上的时间更多。但似乎最能带来幸福感的并不是这些细微的行为变化；相反，他们用正念的态度对待“正常”的周末活动。)”可知，那些被指定以度假的心态度过周末的人在幸福感方面得分更高；第五段进一步研究揭示出了这些人幸福的原因是什么。所以后续研究真正关注的是为什么前者更快乐。故选C。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段“So, it seems that happiness is boosted by savoring. Pausing, slowing down, and having a stance of gratitude for the present moment have always been at the heart of mindfulness, so it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that the outcomes of such a mindset are quite positive.(所以，快乐似乎是通过品味来提升的。暂停，慢下来，对当下时刻心怀感激一直是正念的核心，所以这种心态的结果是非常积极的，这一点也不奇怪。)”和最后一段“The next time you have a free day, or even just a a free hour, think about ways to view it as a break from the ordinary. It just might make you feel better, even once you’re back at work.(下次当你有空闲的一天，或者只是一个小时的空闲时间，想办法把它看作是一个从日常生活中解脱出来的休息。它可能会让你感觉更好，即使你回去工作了。)”可推断，本文主要说明了通过转变度假心态，会带来不同的快乐感受。D项“改变对平淡时间的看法很重要。”符合主题，故选D。 D Chimps live in a male-dominated society, where most of their valuable partners are other males. However, as young male chimps become adults, they continue to maintain tight bonds with their mothers, a new study finds. The dramatic changes of adolescence (青春期) are difficult for chimps, just like they are for humans, says Elizabeth Lonsdorf, an expert on primates at Franklin & Marshall College who was not involved in the study. “Sure enough,” she adds, “their moms remain a key social partner during this time.” Previous research has shown chimp mothers provide their sons with support that goes far beyond nursing. Young male chimps that are close with their moms grow bigger and have a greater chance of survival. What’s more, losing their mothers after weaning (断奶), but before age 12, gets in the way of the ability of young chimps to win other males and reproduce. To see whether this bond extends later into life, researchers followed 29 adolescent (9 to 15 years old) and young adult (16 to 20 years old) male chimps at a research site in Kibale National Park in Uganda and observed them from a distance for 3 years. The team found that the young adult males spent less time with their mothers than the adolescents did — 26% vs. 76%. As the male chimps grew older and more independent, they began to travel over wider ranges and spent more time away from their moms. However, when these young adult males happened to be in the company of their mothers, they acted just like the adolescents. They groomed (梳理) their moms just as often and kept track of them. “Many mothers remained the males’ ‘best friends’, or ‘social partners’ they associated with most frequently,” says study co-leader Rachna Reddy from Harvard University. Such persistent ties are also common in humans after sons leave their mothers and live on their own — especially in tough times, Reddy says. “We really feel what it’s like to not be able to see our mothers when we want to in tough times. The importance of those bonds in our lives and the comfort we get from them have deep evolutionary roots.” 32. What do we know about Elizabeth Lonsdorf? A. She is in favor of the new study’s finding. B. She played a supporting role in the new study. C. She did a different study on chimps’ adolescence before. D. She thinks chimps actually live in a female-dominated society. 33. What may happen when a male chimp loses its mother at 8? A. It may be easier for it to produce babies. B. It may be hard for it to interact with other chimps. C. It may be much more aggressive than other males. D. It may be tough for it to defeat other males. 34. What did the researchers probably do during their study? A. They took care of some motherless chimps. B. They worked hard to win the chimps’ trust. C. They recorded the chimps’ social interaction. D. They limited the chimps’ range of movement. 35. What does Reddy aim to do in the last paragraph? A. To stress the purpose of the study. B. To emphasize the significance of the study. C. To improve humans’ mother-son relationship. D. To make a comparison between chimps and humans. 【答案】32. A 33. D 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项新的研究发现，随着年轻的雄性黑猩猩长大成人，它们继续与母亲保持紧密的联系。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中““Sure enough,” she adds, “their moms remain a key social partner during this time.” (“当然，”她补充说，“在这段时间里，他们的妈妈仍然是一个重要的社交伙伴。”)”可知Elizabeth Lonsdorf认可这项新的研究发现，承认年轻的雄性黑猩猩成年后与母亲仍有重要联系。故选A项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“What’s more, losing their mothers after weaning (断奶), but before age 12, gets in the way of the ability of young chimps to win other males and reproduce. (更重要的是，在断奶后，但在12岁之前失去母亲，会妨碍小黑猩猩赢过其他雄性黑猩猩并繁殖后代的能力)”可知，当雄性黑猩猩在8岁时失去母亲，他可能很难打败其他雄性。故选D项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“To see whether this bond extends later into life, researchers followed 29 adolescent (9 to 15 years old) and young adult (16 to 20 years old) male chimps at a research site in Kibale National Park in Uganda and observed them from a distance for 3 years. (为了了解这种关系是否会延续到以后的生活中，研究人员在乌干达基巴莱国家公园的一个研究地点跟踪了29只青春期（9至15岁）和年轻成年（16至20岁）的雄性黑猩猩，并对它们进行了3年的远距离观察)”，以及该段和第五段对这些黑猩猩的行为的具体描述可推知，在研究过程中，研究人员通过观察记录了这些黑猩猩的社交互动。故选C项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中Reddy所说的话“We really feel what it’s like to not be able to see our mothers when we want to in tough times. The importance of those bonds in our lives and the comfort we get from them have deep evolutionary roots. (我们真的能体会到，在困难时期，当我们想见到母亲时却不能见到她是什么感觉。这些纽带在我们生活中的重要性，以及我们从中得到的安慰，都有着深刻的进化根源)”可推知，Reddy是用人类的母子关系说明该研究的意义，即解释了其进化根源。故选B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。 We all postpone sometimes. Statistics show that 90 percent of university students will often put off studying for a test or writing an important paper until the night before. ____36____ This serious form of postponement can result in a student dropping out of school. According to recent studies, there are three main reasons that students postpone. First, many have poor time-management skills and often try to do too much in too little time. In the end, these students often feel overwhelmed (应接不暇的) and will put off doing many things they need to. ____37____ These students will often avoid doing something because they don’t like it. A third reason is they are anxious about doing assignments (作业) well enough. ____38____ Do you recognize any of these signs in yourself? If so, you may want to do something about it. The following tips may be helpful. ●List things in life that are important to you. ●Choose realistic goals for yourself. ●____39____ ●Budget your time wisely. ●Take the time to reward yourself. If you believe that you are a chronic (长期的) postponer, you should try to get help before it is too late. ____40____ Be sure to keep yourself motivated, but don’t worry too much. Remember — we all postpone at times. A. Talk to a friend, and discuss the problem. B. Once you have set your goals, list them in the first place. C. Many people put off doing things that they need to until it’s too late. D. Another reason that students postpone is because they feel a subject is boring. E. Twenty-five percent of university students can be considered as chronic postponers. F. Another reason that students delay is because they have difficulty concentrating on an assignment. G. These students often worry that their work will never be as good as it should be and fear failure of any kind. 【答案】36. E 37. D 38. G 39. B 40. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了大学生普遍存在拖延的问题，而且部分学生拖延的问题很严重，并分析了该问题背后的原因，给出了相应的解决方法。 【36题详解】 前文“Statistics show that 90 percent of university students will often put off studying for a test or writing an important paper until the night before. (统计数据显示，90%的大学生经常把备考或写重要论文的时间推迟到考试前一天晚上。)”指出数据显示大多数大学生存在拖延行为，后文“This serious form of postponement can result in a student dropping out of school. (这种严重的拖延会导致学生辍学。)”指出严重的拖延导致的后果，因此E项“Twenty-five percent of university students can be considered as chronic postponers. (25%的大学生可以被认为是长期拖延者。)”符合语境，进一步指出一部分大学生是长期拖延者，承前启后，后文的This serious form of postponement指的是“长期拖延”。故选E。 【37题详解】 前文“First, many have poor time-management skills and often try to do too much in too little time. In the end, these students often feel overwhelmed (应接不暇的) and will put off doing many things they need to. (首先，许多人的时间管理能力很差，经常试图在很少的时间内做太多的事情。最后，这些学生经常感到应接不暇，会推迟做很多他们需要做的事情。)”具体介绍学生拖延的第一个原因：糟糕的时间管理能力，后文“These students will often avoid doing something because they don’t like it. (这些学生通常会避免做一些事情，因为他们不喜欢。)”说明学生会因为不喜欢而避免做某些事，因此D项“Another reason that students postpone is because they feel a subject is boring. (学生拖延的另一个原因是他们觉得这门课很无聊。)”符合语境，指出学生拖延的第二个原因：觉得课程无聊，和前文是递进关系，引出后文，其中的boring和后文的they don’t like it呼应。故选D。 【38题详解】 前文“A third reason is they are anxious about doing assignments (作业) well enough. (第三个原因是他们急于把作业做得足够好。)”指出学生拖延的第三个原因：过于想很好地完成作业，因此G项“These students often worry that their work will never be as good as it should be and fear failure of any kind. (这些学生经常担心他们的作业永远不会达到应有的水平，害怕任何形式的失败。)”符合语境，描述这类学生的问题，承接前文。故选G。 【39题详解】 前文“List things in life that are important to you. (列出生活中对你重要的事情。)”和“Choose realistic goals for yourself. (为自己选择现实的目标。)”建议根据自己所看重的事情而选择目标，后文“Budget your time wisely. (合理安排时间。)”给出安排时间的建议，因此B项“Once you have set your goals, list them in the first place. (一旦你设定了目标，就把它们列在第一位。)”符合语境，建议把目标安排在前面，承前启后，其中的goals在前文有同词复现。故选B。 【40题详解】 前文“If you believe that you are a chronic (长期的) postponer, you should try to get help before it is too late. (如果你认为你是一个长期拖延者，你应该在为时已晚之前寻求帮助。)”建议长期拖延者及早寻求帮助，因此A项“Talk to a friend, and discuss the problem. (和朋友谈谈，讨论这个问题。)”符合语境，指出可以和朋友交谈，是一种寻求帮助的方法，承接前文。故选A。 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A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 One day, my 12-year-old daughter participated in a school poetry reading event. All her classmates were invited to write a “lie poem” about how ____41____ they were and read them aloud. They were supposed to ____42____ untruths about themselves that made them sound ____43____ wonderful. As I listened to the poems, I realized that the children were actually ____44____ the picture of their future. By “lying” to themselves, they were creating a ____45____ of who they wanted to be in the future. I couldn’t help admiring the school for ____46____ the children to dream big in such a special way, even if it might not be the first intention. In fact, most of us are ____47____ to see the truth of who we could be. My daughter’s school developed an unintended ____48____ to that difficulty: If it’s hard for you to imagine the ____49____ in yourself, then you might want to begin by expressing it as a ____50____, as did the children who wrote the poems. Think up some stories about who you would like to be. In due course, this ____51____ exercise would help you build the necessary blueprint for ____52____ your achievements.

The temperature was fairly low, the sky was pretty clear and the wind was very gentle. Naturally, running was really good. I was running the first leg of a 20-mile race through some hills. Birds were warbling in the trees. The gentle wind was stroking my face. I felt at ease and full of energy. In spite of the fact that the race was occurring in the hills, I thought it would be wonderful. In front of me was John, a student from Green High school. He was running with ease and at comfortable speed. Therefore, I decided to stay where he was. I didn’t think it necessary to concentrate on setting my own pace, since John was such a nice pacesetter. I would run before him, immediately he consumed all of his energy. I ran after John closely. The course extended north for 7 miles, wandered west for 2 miles, and turned south again. The race was getting increasingly challenging. When 4 miles remained to be covered, I was all but worn out. My lungs were burning and legs seemed broken. John overtook the boy ahead of him. Obviously, they were familiar with each other, because they exchanged some words. Their brief exchange made me worried. Runners don’t chat during a race unless they feel really good and John was running energetically. His steps were bouncy (弹性好的) while my springiness (轻快) was gone. Still, I was desiring to go ahead of John. As long as he was totally tired, I would make it. We were approaching a hill, a mile from the finish line. Whatever happened on the hill would surely determine who would cross it first. When I ran up the hill, my attention was wandering for several minutes. When I looked up, John was running away, leaving me far behind. It was hopeless to overtake John. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Suddenly, John slowed down and sat onto the ground with a sharp pain. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A reporter photographed this touching scene and posted it online. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Suddenly, John slowed down and sat onto the ground with a sharp pain. On spotting his painful look, I ran up to him as fast as a bolt of lightning. Much to my surprise, his ankle was sprained badly. In that split second, I tried to help him stand up and move forward, but he shook head to say no. In the meanwhile, he signed to me to run after the others so that I could win the first place. Suddenly, I was trapped in an instant dilemma. My strong desire to overtake John was flashing in my mind. But in an instant, I decided without hesitation to accompany him to take a rest. Then we ran slowly forward together. Although we were overtaken by others, a sense of relaxation was surging in my mind. The moment we finally crossed the finish line together, John cast a grateful look at me. A reporter photographed this touching scene and posted it online. Immediately, such a big hit did the photo become that countless likes were flooding in. Numerous strangers sent emails to praise me, leaving me lost in thought. In fact, I was indecisively torn in the beginning, but the moment I decided to help John, I felt relaxed with birds warbling in the trees and the gentle wind stroking my face. Happily, I made the right choice and did the right thing. Surely, friendliness comes before competition. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在参加20英里赛跑比赛，第一赛段中他感觉很好，一直紧跟在John后面，想在John耗尽力气的时候完成超越。但是随着比赛进行到后面，作者逐渐疲惫，而John依旧步履轻盈，甚至和一个男孩聊了天。在离终点线还有一英里的时候，作者已经开始走神，John甩开了他，作者意识到追上John是没有希望了。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“突然，John放慢了速度，伴随一阵剧痛坐到了地上。”可知，第一段可描写John和作者之间进行交流，以及作者决定陪着John一起慢慢完成比赛。 ②由第二段首句内容“一位记者拍下了这一感人的场景，并将其发布到网上。”可知，第二段可描写大家对于照片的反应，以及作者的感悟。 2. 续写线索：John坐到地上——两人交流——作者陪伴John完成比赛——照片发布到网上——大家的反应——作者的感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①注意到：spot/see/notice ②帮助：help/assist/aid ③决定：decide/determine ④超过：overtake/pass ⑤赞扬：praise/applaud/compliment 情绪类 ①轻松：relaxation/relief/comfort ②感激的：grateful/thankful/appreciative 【点睛】[高分句型1] Although we were overtaken by others, a sense of relaxation was surging in my mind.
