My wife and I were celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary (纪念日) that year. To our delight, it was a splendid event, lovingly hosted by our sons just for us. Our dear, old friends gave us a wonderful surprise with their thoughtful gifts and heartfelt congratulations. Our gift to each other was a driving trip out west. We drove from Ontario into Alberta, then southward into Glacier National Park in Montana, and continued to Yellowstone National Park. It was a cold spring day, and the Beartooth Highway had opened for the season just days before. Alongside the road, there was still a great amount of snow there. The scenery was so impressive that we made lots of stops to record memories with my camera. At the highest point of the highway, I stopped at a lookout to catch the amazing views, with my wife in the centre of my camera lens. There were not many cars on the road. Sometimes, cars with energetic young tourists passed by. And then we heard a motorcycle in the distance. The driver of the motorcycle, who wore dirty clothes, parked behind our cars. Approaching us, he spoke only a simple command, “Give me your camera and get over there with your wife.” I must admit I felt nervous that we might be robbed where we just created some beautiful memories. Surprisingly, he just took a picture of us, handed back my camera and rode off before we could offer our thanks. Unexpectedly, the photo he took is now one of the most valuable and prized of our trip. In that unexpected encounter, I absorbed a lesson in the most unlikely of places. We should never judge a man by his appearance. To the motorcyclist who may one day read this story and remember us: we wish to extend our deepest appreciation and a heartfelt “Thank you” for the kindness you showed us that day. 36. What do we know about the trip? A. It was a gift for their wedding anniversary. B. It was a suggestion from their friends. C. It was in the late autumn five years ago. D. It was taken by train to the west. 37. What caused the couple to frequently pause on their trip along Beartooth Highway? A. Road signs. B. Impressive scenery. C. Car problems. D. Complex roadblocks. 38. Why was the author nervous when the motorcycle driver offered to take a picture? A. He could have lost the camera. B. The motorcycle driver would borrow the camera. C. His wife might not be satisfied with the view there. D. The motorcycle driver might not be good at the taking pictures. 39. Which of the following best describes the driver of the motorcycle? A. Rich and generous. B. Kind and straightforward. C. Creative and capable. D. Careful and admirable. 40. Which of the following can be concluded from the passage? A. No pains, no gains. B. Seeing is believing. C. Don’t judge a book by its cover. D. The longest journey begins with the first step. 【答案】36. A 37. B 38. A 39. B 40. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述为了庆祝结婚四十周年，作者和妻子进行了一场旅行，在途中遇到一位骑摩托的人，他原本是想帮他们拍照，但是他耿直的态度和脏乱的外表让作者误以为他要抢劫，作者写这篇文章为了感谢他并且告诉我们不能以貌取人。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“My wife and I were celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary that year.(那年，我和妻子正在庆祝结婚40周年)”及“Our gift to each other was a driving trip out west.(我们送给彼此的礼物是开车去西部旅行)”可知，这次旅行是他们结婚纪念日的礼物。故选A项。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The scenery was so impressive that we made lots of stops to record memories with my camera.(这里的景色给人留下了深刻的印象，我们停了很多站，用我的相机记录下了回忆)”可知，令人印象深刻的风景使这对夫妇在沿着熊牙高速公路的旅行中经常停下来。故选B项。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“I must admit I felt nervous that we might be robbed where we just created some beautiful memories.(我必须承认，我很紧张，因为我们可能会在创造美好回忆的地方被抢劫)”可知，作者担心这个骑摩托的人可能会抢走他们刚拍了美好照片的相机。故选A项。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Approaching us, he spoke only a simple command, “Give me your camera and get over there with your wife.” I must admit I felt nervous that we might be robbed where we just created some beautiful memories. Surprisingly, he just took a picture of us, handed back my camera and rode off before we could offer our thanks.(走近我们时，他只说了一句简单的命令：“把你的相机给我，和你妻子一起过去。”我必须承认，我很紧张，因为我们可能会在创造美好回忆的地方被抢劫。令人惊讶的是，他仅仅给我们拍了一张照片，还没来得及表示感谢，就把我的相机交了回来，然后骑车离开了)”可知，这位骑摩托车的人和作者素不相识，可他却直接走过来让作者把相机给他，让作者误以为被抢劫，可结果证明他是好心，只是想要帮作者和妻子拍照，故可以推断，这位骑摩托车的为人是耿直且善良的。故选B项。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。结合全文及文章最后一段“In that unexpected encounter, I absorbed a lesson in the most unlikely of places. We should never judge a man by his appearance.(在那次意外的相遇中，我在最不可能的地方吸取了教训。我们决不应该以貌取人)”可知，作者因为骑摩托的人脏乱的外表和直接的态度怀疑他是抢劫者，可事实证明他只是好心想要帮助他们拍照，作者通过这件事告诉我们不能以貌取人。故选C项。 C Art is everywhere. Any public space has been carefully designed by an artistic mind to be both functional and beautiful. Why, then, is art still so widely considered to be "the easy subject" at school, insignificant to wider society, a waste of time and effort? Art can connect culture with commercial products in a way that not many other things can; art generates money and holds significant emotional and cultural value within communities. When people attend a concert, they are paying for music, sure, maybe even hotel rooms, meals, and transport, but they also gain an incredible experience, a unique atmosphere and a memory that will go through the rest of their lives. People don't just want material things anymore, they want to experience life一the arts are a perfect crossover（交迭）between culture and commerce. Furthermore, the arts can bring communities together, reducing loneliness and making people feel safer. Social bonds are created among individuals when they share their arts experiences through reflection and discussion, and their expression of common values through artworks in honour of events significant to a nation's experience. The arts clearly have a pretty positive impact on physical and psychological health. It is found that people who frequent cultural places or participate in artistic events are more likely to gain good health compared to those who do not; more engagement with the arts is linked to a higher level of people's wellbeing. The Royal Society of Public Health discovered that music and art, when used in hospitals, help to improve the conditions of patients by reducing stress, anxiety and blood pressure. Children who are involved with the arts make greater achievements in their education: those engaged with drama have greater literary ability while others taking part in musical practice exhibit greater skills in math and languages. Kids with preference for the arts have a greater chance of finding employment in the future. Participating in the arts is essential for child development; encouraging children to express themselves in constructive ways could help to form healthy emotional responses in later life. Vital to human life, art is celebrated and used by nations across the world for various purposes. Life without art would be boring and dead still, for art is a part of what makes us human. 41. Art products differ from most other commercial products because . A. most people purchase them for collection B. they are more expensive and less accessible C. they have both commercial and cultural values D. their prices may climb up as time passes 42. By sharing their arts experiences, community members can . A. keep the community safe from illnesses B. develop a stronger tie between them C. learn to appreciate their own works of art D offer honourable solutions to their problems 43. What can we learn about people who are involved in artistic activities? A. They enjoy better living conditions. B. They like to compare themselves with others. C. They are particularly good at both music and art. D. They tend to be healthier physically and mentally. 44. How does kids' engagement with the arts benefit them? A. It promotes their academic performance and emotional growth. B. It gives them more confidence in exhibiting their learning skills. C. It inspires their creativity in designing their future career. D. It helps to make responsible people out of them. 45. What is the best title for this passage? A. How Art Cures Our Hearts B. Art: A Blessing to Humankind C. How Art Benefits Communities D. Art: A Bridge Between Cultures 【答案】41. C 42. B 43. D 44. A 45. B 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。讲述了艺术这一活动对人类的重要意义，是我们不可或缺的社会生活之一。从赋予商品的商业价值，人类的身心健康和青少年的学术和情感发展等方面论述了艺术的重要意义。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Any public space has been carefully designed by an artistic mind to be both functional and beautiful.”（任何公共空间都是由艺术家精心设计的，既实用又美观。）以及“Art can connect culture with commercial products in a way that not many other things can”（艺术可以将文化与商业产品联系起来，这是其他很多东西都做不到的。）可以看出，可见艺术参与的作品兼具文化价值和商业价值。故选择C。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Social bonds are created among individuals when they share their arts experiences through reflection and discussion,, and their expression of common values through artworks in honor of events significant to a nation's experience.”（当个人通过反思和讨论分享他们的艺术经验，并通过艺术作品表达共同的价值观，以纪念对一个国家的经验有重要意义的事件时，社会纽带就在他们之间建立起来。），可见通过分享经历，可以建立一种特殊的联系和纽带。故选择B。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“It is found that people who frequent cultural places or participate in artistic events are more likely to gain good health compared to those who do not”（研究发现，经常出入文化场所或参加艺术活动的人比不经常出入文化场所或参加艺术活动的人更容易获得健康;），可见参加艺术活动的人们在身心上都相对更加健康。故选择D。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Children who are involved with the arts make greater achievements in their education”（参与艺术的孩子在他们的教育中取得更大的成就）以及“encouraging children to express themselves in constructive ways could help to form healthy emotional responses in later life.”（有助于在以后的生活中形成健康的情感反应。）可见艺术活动促进了孩子们的学业表现和情感成长。故选择A。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Vital to human life, art is celebrated and used by nations across the world for various purposes. Life without art would be boring and dead still, for art is a part of what makes us human.”（艺术对人类的生命至关重要，世界各国为各种目的庆祝和使用艺术。没有艺术的生活将是无聊和死气沉沉的，因为艺术是我们人类的一部分。）可见艺术是人类重要的部分，文章中也详细描述了艺术对不同人群的好处。所以短文的最佳标题为“艺术:人类的福祉”。故选择B。 非选择题(满分25分) 第四部分：写作(共两节，满分25分) 第一节：阅读表达(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 In February 2023, our beautiful cat, Xena, suddenly lost the use of her back legs. My husband David and I were shocked and had our hearts in our mouths. We immediately took her straight to the hospital. Doctors said Xena was badly ill and that she might walk again after surgery (外科手术). Days after surgery, she got some feelings in her back legs again. Later, we took her home, with medicine and instructions for her care. No one could say if Xena would actually get full use of her back legs again. It was largely up to her own efforts and determination. We booked her hydrotherapy (水疗法). Most cats would panic if they were put in the water, but our little cat surprised everyone. She never panicked and she tried to put up with neck-deep water. Over the next few weeks, she continued with her hydrotherapy. Soon, she could manage the few steps out into our garden, though she still needed some help to walk properly. Her determination was so impressive. Despite probably being in pain, she really wanted to walk again, play, and do all the things that cats can do. Some cats would refuse to take their medicine, or become upset after having their legs injured but not our Xena. She seemed to be a model patient. A couple of months later, David and I went on a holiday. To be safe we left Xena at the animal hospital’s “Cat Hotel”. After she came home from the “hotel”, her fur and weight grew back, and she became a healthy, happy cat again. We had thought she might be damaged forever by all that had happened to her. But this courageous, little cat simply brushed it all off its life and got on with living. She met a big challenge. And in the end, she got the better of it. We should learn from our Xena. 46. Why did the author and her husband feel shocked in February 2023? (no more than 8 words) __________________________________________________________________________________ 47. How did the cat react when she stayed in the water? (no more than 10 words) __________________________________________________________________________________ 48. What change did the cat have after she left the “Cat Hotel”? (no more than 8 words) __________________________________________________________________________________ 49. What does the underlined part in the last paragraph probably mean? (no more than 5 words) __________________________________________________________________________________ 50. What can you learn from the cat’s story? (no more than 20 words) __________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】46. Their cat suddenly had a terrible illness. (Or: Their cat suddenly lost the use of her back legs). 47. She showed calmness and bravery. (Or: She never panicked and tried to put up with neck-deep water.) 48. She regained health and good spirits. (Or: She became a healthy, happy cat again.) 49. She overcame the challenge. (Or: She got over the challenge.) 50. We should be courageous, confident and determined when facing challenges and difficulties. (该题答案不唯一) 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一只名叫Xena的猫咪突然失去后腿使用能力后，在主人和医生的共同努力下，通过手术、水疗以及自身的顽强意志，最终恢复健康的故事。Xena展现了惊人的决心和勇气，成为了一只值得学习的“模范病人”。 【46题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章第一段“In February 2023, our beautiful cat, Xena, suddenly lost the use of her back legs. My husband David and I were shocked and had our hearts in our mouths.(2023年2月，我们漂亮的猫咪Xena突然失去了后腿的使用能力。我的丈夫David和我感到非常震惊，心都提到了嗓子眼)”可知，作者和丈夫感到震惊的原因是他们的猫咪突然失去了后腿的使用能力，或者可以简化为他们的猫咪突然得了重病。故答案为Their cat suddenly had a terrible illness.或Their cat suddenly lost the use of her back legs. 【47题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章第二段“Most cats would panic if they were put in the water, but our little cat surprised everyone. She never panicked and she tried to put up with neck-deep water.(大多数猫如果被放在水里都会惊慌失措，但我们的小猫却让大家大吃一惊。她从不慌张，试着忍受着齐颈深的水)”可知，猫咪待在水里时表现出了冷静和勇敢，或者可以描述为她从不慌张，试着忍受着齐颈深的水。故答案为She showed calmness and bravery.或She never panicked and tried to put up with neck-deep water. 【48题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章第四段“After she came home from the ‘hotel’, her fur and weight grew back, and she became a healthy, happy cat again.(她从‘旅馆’回家后，毛发和体重都恢复了，她又变成了一只健康快乐的猫。)”可知，猫咪离开“猫咪旅馆”后恢复了健康和良好的精神状态，或者可以描述为她又变成了一只健康快乐的猫。故答案为She regained health and good spirits.或She became a healthy, happy cat again. 【49题详解】 考查词句猜测。根据文章最后一段“We had thought she might be damaged forever by all that had happened to her. But this courageous, little cat simply brushed it all off its life and got on with living. She met a big challenge.(我们原以为她可能会因为所发生的一切而永远受到伤害。但这只勇敢的小猫只是把这些都抛在脑后，继续生活。她遇到了一个巨大的挑战)”以及“We should learn from our Xena.(我们应该向Xena学习)”可知，作者原以为小猫可能会因为所发生的一切而永远受到伤害；但是这是小猫却把所发生的伤害抛在脑后，继续生活，即使遇到了巨大的挑战，猫咪最终战胜了挑战，由此我们应该向她学习。由此可知，划线词组的意思为“她克服了挑战”。故答案为She overcame the challenge.或She got over the challenge. 【50题详解】 开放性试题。言之有理，注意词数限制。通读全文，文章主要讲述了一只名叫Xena的猫咪突然失去后腿使用能力后，在主人和医生的共同努力下，通过手术、水疗以及自身的顽强意志，最终恢复健康的故事。Xena展现了惊人的决心和勇气，成为了一只值得学习的“模范病人”。我们应该从猫咪的故事中学到面对挑战和困难时要勇敢、自信和坚定。故答案为We should be courageous, confident and determined when facing challenges and difficulties. 第二节：书面表达(满分15分) 51. 假设你是晨光中学高一年级的学生李津，你的外国朋友Chris最近总是感觉身体不适，来信询问你如何保持身体健康。请你根据以下要点，回信鼓励他改善身体现状。 要点包括： 1.表示安慰； 2.提出建议； 3.表达祝愿。 注意：字数不少于100词。 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Dear Chris, I am really sorry to know that you have been suffering from poor health these days.

My wife and I were celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary (纪念日) that year. To our delight, it was a splendid event, lovingly hosted by our sons just for us. Our dear, old friends gave us a wonderful surprise with their thoughtful gifts and heartfelt congratulations. Our gift to each other was a driving trip out west. We drove from Ontario into Alberta, then southward into Glacier National Park in Montana, and continued to Yellowstone National Park. It was a cold spring day, and the Beartooth Highway had opened for the season just days before. Alongside the road, there was still a great amount of snow there. The scenery was so impressive that we made lots of stops to record memories with my camera. At the highest point of the highway, I stopped at a lookout to catch the amazing views, with my wife in the centre of my camera lens. There were not many cars on the road. Sometimes, cars with energetic young tourists passed by. And then we heard a motorcycle in the distance. The driver of the motorcycle, who wore dirty clothes, parked behind our cars. Approaching us, he spoke only a simple command, “Give me your camera and get over there with your wife.” I must admit I felt nervous that we might be robbed where we just created some beautiful memories. Surprisingly, he just took a picture of us, handed back my camera and rode off before we could offer our thanks. Unexpectedly, the photo he took is now one of the most valuable and prized of our trip. In that unexpected encounter, I absorbed a lesson in the most unlikely of places. We should never judge a man by his appearance. To the motorcyclist who may one day read this story and remember us: we wish to extend our deepest appreciation and a heartfelt “Thank you” for the kindness you showed us that day. 36. What do we know about the trip? A. It was a gift for their wedding anniversary. B. It was a suggestion from their friends. C. It was in the late autumn five years ago. D. It was taken by train to the west. 37. What caused the couple to frequently pause on their trip along Beartooth Highway? A. Road signs. B. Impressive scenery. C. Car problems. D. Complex roadblocks. 38. Why was the author nervous when the motorcycle driver offered to take a picture? A. He could have lost the camera. B. The motorcycle driver would borrow the camera. C. His wife might not be satisfied with the view there. D. The motorcycle driver might not be good at the taking pictures. 39. Which of the following best describes the driver of the motorcycle? A. Rich and generous. B. Kind and straightforward. C. Creative and capable. D. Careful and admirable. 40. Which of the following can be concluded from the passage? A. No pains, no gains. B. Seeing is believing. C. Don’t judge a book by its cover. D. The longest journey begins with the first step. C Art is everywhere. Any public space has been carefully designed by an artistic mind to be both functional and beautiful. Why, then, is art still so widely considered to be "the easy subject" at school, insignificant to wider society, a waste of time and effort? Art can connect culture with commercial products in a way that not many other things can; art generates money and holds significant emotional and cultural value within communities. When people attend a concert, they are paying for music, sure, maybe even hotel rooms, meals, and transport, but they also gain an incredible experience, a unique atmosphere and a memory that will go through the rest of their lives. People don't just want material things anymore, they want to experience life一the arts are a perfect crossover（交迭）between culture and commerce. Furthermore, the arts can bring communities together, reducing loneliness and making people feel safer. Social bonds are created among individuals when they share their arts experiences through reflection and discussion, and their expression of common values through artworks in honour of events significant to a nation's experience. The arts clearly have a pretty positive impact on physical and psychological health. It is found that people who frequent cultural places or participate in artistic events are more likely to gain good health compared to those who do not; more engagement with the arts is linked to a higher level of people's wellbeing. The Royal Society of Public Health discovered that music and art, when used in hospitals, help to improve the conditions of patients by reducing stress, anxiety and blood pressure. Children who are involved with the arts make greater achievements in their education: those engaged with drama have greater literary ability while others taking part in musical practice exhibit greater skills in math and languages. Kids with preference for the arts have a greater chance of finding employment in the future. Participating in the arts is essential for child development; encouraging children to express themselves in constructive ways could help to form healthy emotional responses in later life. Vital to human life, art is celebrated and used by nations across the world for various purposes. Life without art would be boring and dead still, for art is a part of what makes us human. 41.

My husband David and I were shocked and had our hearts in our mouths. We immediately took her straight to the hospital. Doctors said Xena was badly ill and that she might walk again after surgery (外科手术). Days after surgery, she got some feelings in her back legs again. Later, we took her home, with medicine and instructions for her care. No one could say if Xena would actually get full use of her back legs again. It was largely up to her own efforts and determination. We booked her hydrotherapy (水疗法). Most cats would panic if they were put in the water, but our little cat surprised everyone. She never panicked and she tried to put up with neck-deep water. Over the next few weeks, she continued with her hydrotherapy. Soon, she could manage the few steps out into our garden, though she still needed some help to walk properly. Her determination was so impressive. Despite probably being in pain, she really wanted to walk again, play, and do all the things that cats can do. Some cats would refuse to take their medicine, or become upset after having their legs injured but not our Xena. She seemed to be a model patient. A couple of months later, David and I went on a holiday. To be safe we left Xena at the animal hospital’s “Cat Hotel”. After she came home from the “hotel”, her fur and weight grew back, and she became a healthy, happy cat again. We had thought she might be damaged forever by all that had happened to her. But this courageous, little cat simply brushed it all off its life and got on with living. She met a big challenge. And in the end, she got the better of it. We should learn from our Xena. 46 Why did the author and her husband feel shocked in February 2023?
