Nashville With the nickname "Music City",Nashville makes our list of best music cities.You're bound to hear live music anywhere,whether at your hotel bar,or at the historic Ryman Auditorium.Nashville is not only home to the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Johnny Cash Museum,but it's still active in the recording studio scene. 【高二英语第2页（共8页）】 25229B Vienna If you're after classical music on your next vacation,be sure to head to Vienna.Once the capital of the Habsburg Empire,the city was the centre of all societal affairs which included music.The greatest classical composers-from Mozart to Haydn to Beethoven to Mahler-all lived and worked in Vienna at one point or another. New York New York has been described as a“melting pot(熔炉)”of cultures,and that applies to its music,too.The 20th century was particularly fruitful for New York's music scene.During this time,it became the birthplace of hip-hop,disce,and salsa music,among other styles. The list truly goes on and on. New Orleans The city is filled with jazz,where you can listen to the great music every night.Of course,you can catch jazz at venues across town-the genre was born here,after all.If you're a huge jazz fan,you might want to consider visiting during tne annual New Orleans Jazz Heritage Festival. 21 Which city is more attractive to visitors who want to know the classical musicians? A.New Orleans.B Vienna. C.New York. D.Nashville. 22.What is special about New York as a music city? A.It enables people to enjoy the live shows inside and outside hotel bars.

B The first time my daughter,Maia,realized I was leaving on a trip without her,she was alarmed.Seeing photos of where I was going,she cried and asked why I was going to leave her behind.I tried to explain my work as a travel writer.But as my husband,Evan,pulled her off my leg so I could leave,I wondered if my solo()trips would be worth the effort of going without her. A few days later,I returned home and Maia was happy to hear about my trip.She told me I could keep going on trips for work-but we'd compromise():she'd come with me. One year later,an invitation came to experience the Rocky Mountaineer on a parent-child journey.And as scary as it seemed to take a preschooler on a train,the trip sounded too good to pass up. Dressed in her most beautiful train-riding clothes,four-year-old Maia watched me take notes about the scenery as we chugged along the Fraser River in BC.Wanting to prove her worth as an assistant,she began interviewing the Australian couple sitting beside us.Unable to spell more than a few words,she drew their answers in crayon().She ended up being such an easy travel companion and we found a special rhythm()on the road together. When she was six,we flew to the Riviera Maya in Mexico.I was impressed by how cheerfully fearless she was when we swam in cenotes(#).But it was on the flight home, when my little kid said it was okay that the airline didn't seat us together,that I realized how much travel was shaping her. Research says that travel can expand a kid's world,helping them become more adaptable while developing their creativity and imagination.Seeing those changes in Maia,I am really grateful for that compromise I made with her. 【高二英语第3页（共8页）】 25229B 24.What can we learn about the author from the first two paragraphs? A.She gave up work for family. B.She enjoyed travelling alone. C.She went on trips for work. D.She travelled a lot with her kid. $5.What did the author think of the Rocky Mountaineer trip with Maia? A.Annoying. B.Enjoyable. C.Tiring. D.Awkward. 26.What influence did travel have on Maia? A.She made new friends and learned new skills. B.She became more outgoing and cheerful. C.She grew braver and more independent. D.She became much closer to the writer. 27.What is a suitable title for the text? A.The Approaches to Making Travel Comfortable B.The Reflection on Working as a Travel Writer C.The Challenges of Accompanying Kids D.The Joys of Travelling with Children C On Scotland's west coast is the Firth of Clyde,a large home to thousands of porpoises( and one dolphin named Kylie.Kylie hasn't been observed with other common dolphins in at least 14 years-but she's far from alone.On clear days in the Clyde,visitors to the marina can sometimes see Kylie swimming with porpoises,which are about two-thirds her size. New research suggests Kylie's ties to porpoises are closer than scientists imagined.While a common dolphin's vocal(发声的)ability should include a diverse range of clicks,whistles(口 哨声)，and etc.,Kylie doesn't whistle..Instead,she“talks”more like porpoises,which communicate using high bursts of clicks. "The study suggests that she may be communicating with the porpoises,or at least attempting to.It's part of a growing body of work that shows a rich world of interactions between different species of dolphins.Clearly,species in the wild interact much more than we thought,says dolphin behaviour expert Denise Herzing. To learn more about Kylie's relationship with the porpoises,scientists borrowed a device to record sounds of Kylie and porpoises when they met each other from 2016 to 2018."She's definitely identified as a porpoise,"says Nairn,who trained as a sea biologist in college. Researchers also studied thousands of dolphins clicks from the recordings carefully. While dolphins whistle very often,porpoises never do.Instead,they communicate with what are called narrow-band,high-frequency (NBHF)clicks.To hear an NBHF click you have to play it about one hundred times slower. Ever since February 2021,Kylie has been missing.Nairn says he can't help but worry. Nairn and his workmates say they're eager to look for and listen to Kylie as soon as the spring field season begins-and see what else she might teach us. 28.In what way are porpoises different from dolphins? A.Porpoises like living in groups. B.Porpoises live in fresh waters. C.Porpoises are bigger in size. D.Porpoises never whistle. 29.How does Kylie communicate with the porpoises? A.By nodding her head. B.By giving out clicks. C.By touching. D.By whispering. 80 What was the device used for? A.stadying the clicks made by Kylie and the porpoises. B.Examining how sea creatures interact each other. C.Taking clear pictures of Kylie underwater. D.Learning more about Kylie's habitat. 【高二英语第4页（共8页）】 25229B 31.What is a good way to hear an NBHF click? A.Playing it in a quiet place. B.Playing it a lot more slowly. C.Playing it underwater. D.Playing it repeatedly. 0 When making decisions,most people view cost as an important consideration.While price is undoubtedly important,what about some hidden costs that also come into play?For example,what are the long-term effects of your decision?Have you considered how your decision impacts your relationships?Simply put,hidden costs may be invisible to your eyes, but they're very visible to your wallet.Ignoring these factors can cost you a lot. Consider a scene where a manager cuts costs by asking some workers to leave.While this move reduces salary expenses,how will it impact the morale()and loyalty of the remaining employees?Similarly,imagine somebody spending hours surfing the web,lost in searching for cheaper things.The question is whether the savings equal the spent time.If cost is your only consideration,you'll pay the price.Price isn't the only cost! Furthermore,even if cost is the only factor in your decision-making,all of the "true costs"should be considered.For example,if you're thinking about buying new technology, the equipment cost is only part of the price.People will need training,the software may need customization,and you'll probably lose productivity until people get up to speed.Those are real costs too. In addition,even when price is the main consideration,it's important to tell the difference between price and value.For example,when you're investing()in a high-quality product from a famous organization,compare maintenance (and repair costs with its competitors,assess the product life span,and hear what existing customers have to say.As the old saying goes,"You get what you pay for." Always keep in mind that every time you say "yes"to one thing,you're certainly saying "no"to another.So,in decision-making,always consider invisible costs.This ensures you're aiming for the best solution rather than a good one.After all,choices are easy.The hard part is living with them. 32.What does the underlined phrase "come into play"in Paragraph 1 mean? A Play around. B.Come into use. C.Play a part. D.Come into sight. 13.What may be the hidden cost of firing workers? A.Discouraging the remaining workers. B.Doing wonders for the workers'morale. C.Cutting costs of the company. D.Reducing salary expenses. 3 How is the text mainly developed? .A.By explaining concepts. B.By using space order. C.By listing numbers. D.By giving examples. 35 What can we draw from the text? A.Be thoughtful when making decisions. B.Considering the best solution is easy. C.Price is the main consideration. D.You get what you pay for. 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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。 How to Cheer up Your Friend The following tips will make your friend cheer up.Try one or more of the suggestions below,and hopefully your friend will be happy again in no time. 【高二英语第5页（共8页）】 25229B 3.h your friend is angry about a situation at work,help him see the positive side of things.Listen to his problem before reacting.But try to help him by asking questions such as "What things can you do to make the situation better?"or "What's been happening at work lately that has been good?"

One rainy day,when Julia and I were heading towards home,I caught sight of an old lady wearing an orange jacket with a huge bag and a walking stick.Out of curiosity,I asked Julia, "Who is she?What is she doing with that huge bag?" Julia caught a glimpse()at her,then told me,"She is called Melinda.She has been collecting garbage()with that huge garbage bag in the town for several years.Nobody knows why she's been doing it.Maybe just for fun."Hearing her words,I couldn't help calling out,"Wow!It's so strange!Why does she find it funny to collect garbage?" Since that day,I had come across her for many times on my way home.She always carried the huge garbage bag whether it was rainy or sunny.Gradually,I didn't find her strange for collecting garbage.Instead,I began to greet her with a smile. Two years later,I was admitted to Chicago University.To my disappointment,I often saw garbage on the lawn on campus."Why should people litter everywhere?Who is responsible for the garbage?"A few days later,it occurred to me that,since nobody took responsibility for it,why not collect garbage myself?That way,I could walk past the lawn without feeling sorry. Then,I took action.I always took a garbage bag and collect garbage on the lawn every time I walked past it.A few students also followed suit soon afterwards,keeping the school cleaner and prettier than before. One day,an idea popped into my head when I finished collecting garbage-maybe we could help make the city cleaner and prettier too!Despite the thought that collecting garbage in front of so many people outside school was awkward,I knew it was the right thing to do. So I decided to give it a go. 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 One day,I was collecting garbage outside the school. Then I realized that I should encourage more students to take part. 【高二英语第8页（共8页）】 25229B
