B Tao Yuanming and Henry David Thoreau were both poets, but one lived in Ancient China and the other in 19th century America. Superficially, these two men, whose lives were separated in time by nearly 1,500 years, were polar opposites. And yet they shared an intense respect for nature, which made them each an influential figure of their time. Both men made dramatic transformations to their lives in order to reconnect with nature. As an official in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Tao felt conflicted over life at court. In 405, he quit the service of the court for good, expressing his unhappiness in the now famous line that he would not “bow like a servant in return for five dou of grain”. He spent the next 22 years until his death, working the land in a poor, rural area. From his poetry, we can learn that although his life was arduous, he succeeded in finding contentment in its simplicity and in drawing pleasure from nature. While Tao’s return to nature was a reaction to a lifestyle he was opposed to, Thoreau’s was a personal decision to transform the way he lived. He had a decent quality of life, but he wanted to live in a simpler way. For two years, two months and two days, he lived in a cottage in the forest on the edge of Walden Pond, focusing on himself and his writing. He explained his reason for doing so in Walden: “I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life.” Both men were happy to withdraw from contemporary life, seeking a harmonious relationship with nature in the quietness of their lives. Although Tao and Thoreau do not treat nature in quite the same way, their works show its beauty and value. Tao’s nature is a place of fields and villages, in other words, rural, and his animals are domestic ones, such as chickens and dogs. The calm and peaceful life he wrote about is in contrast to and critical of the depressive court life. Thoreau’s descriptions of nature emphasized the beauty and purity of the wild areas around him. Devoting himself to observations of the natural phenomena he recorded his detailed findings in his journals. Thoreau’s writing aimed to convince people that animals and plants had a right to live and prosper, as we do. We should live with them in harmony and enjoy nature’s gifts. It takes considerable courage to reject the easy and familiar and instead try to live closer to nature, as both Tao and Thoreau did. Their choices led them to quiet and reflective lives with fewer material desires. In today’s modern world, their ideas about living simply and being at ease with nature may take us a step closer to attaining personal well-being and fulfillment. 4. Why did Tao Yuanming leave the court? A. Because he was too old. B. Because he felt conflicted over life at court. C. Because he liked nature so much. D. Because he liked living in a rural area. 5. What do Tao Yuanming and Thoreau have in common? A. They treated nature in the same way. B. They lived in the same century. C. They were both unsatisfied with their leaders. D. Their works showed the beauty of nature. 6. What did Thoreau describe in his writings? A. Fields and villages. B. Chickens and dogs. C. Animals and plants. D. Mountains and rivers. 7. What does Thoreau’s work mainly embody (体现)? A. Nature’s wilderness is beautiful. B. We should raise more animals. C. Man should live in harmony with nature. D. we should live in the rural area. 8 What should we do if we want to attain personal well-being and fulfillment? A. Live closer to nature. B. Increase material desires. C. Walk a lot in the forest. D. Share a respect for nature. C Tears are good for your eyes. In fact, without them, your eyes wouldn’t even be able to move. Some people say tears help us in other ways, too. Maybe you know someone who likes to watch sad movies in order to “have a good cry”. It hasn’t been proven, but tears may be good not only for your eyes but also for your emotional health as well. We generally only notice tears when we cry, but we have them in our eyes all the time. Tears affect how we see the world while at the same time protecting our eyes from it. Without this liquid covering them, our eyes would be at risk of infection. In addition, we need tears in order to see. The cornea (角膜) of the eye does not have a perfectly smooth surface. Tears fill in the holes in the cornea and make it smooth so that we can see clearly. Without tears, the world would look very strange to us. Tom Lutz, the author of Crying: The Natural and Cultural History of Tears, writes, “Throughout history, and in every culture,... everyone everywhere cries at some time.” Even men and women who say they never cry can usually remember crying as children. Most of us probably think it’s normal for men or women to cry at certain times, and at such times, we may even encourage them to cry. For example, it’s no surprise when someone cries during a sad movie, and we often expect people to cry when a family member dies. However, we don’t always take this view of tears. Sometimes adults who cry - or even children who do - lose the respect of others. For example, what would you think of an adult who cried over losing a card game? Most people are aware of the social rules about when, where, and why it’s OK to cry. These rules generally differ for children and adults, and often for men and women. They depend on things such as family, culture, and religion, and they change over time. Some people think it’s not just OK to cry but actually healthy to let the tears flow. Doctors in Greece over 2,500 years ago thought that tears came from the brain and that everyone needed to let them out. Today, many people still believe in getting tears out. They say that through crying, we get rid of emotions we have stored up, which is good for our mental health. Some people report that they feel better after crying. This could be because of the chemicals in emotional tears. One chemical is a type of endorphin (内啡肽), a painkiller that the body naturally produces. Emotional tears increase the amount of endorphin that gets to the brain because tears flow from the eye into the nose and pass to the brain that way. This painkiller may make a person less aware of sad or angry feelings, and that could explain why someone feels better after “a good cry”. 9. When do we have tears in our eyes? A. They are always there. B. When eyes are at risk of infection. C. When we have emotions. D. They appear randomly. 10. How do tears help us see clearly? A. Through the smooth surface of the cornea. B. Through the cornea of the eyes. C. Through filling in the holes in the corner and making it smooth. D. Through the holes in the cornea. 11. Which of the following elements is NOT the things that are related to the social rules of crying? A. Family B. Culture C. Religion D. Gender 12. What is “a good cry”? A. It is a kind of painkiller that the body naturally produces. B. It refers to emotional tears that increase the quantity of endorphin that gets to the brain. C. It refers to the tears flow from the eyes into the nose and pass to the brain. D. It is a painkiller that make a person less aware of sad or angry feelings. D Much like beauty, art is in the eye of the beholder. The artwork we are attracted to can give insight into our personality, such as whether we are too quick or too slow, calm or moody. Studies into art preferences date back to the 1930s — most of them examining the extent to which people like or dislike different paintings. Research shows that a person’s interest in art is more strongly related to certain personality traits than to social class, age, or gender. In particular, a personality trait called “openness” is the best predictor of whether individuals are interested in art. On the other side, those who identify as “conscientious (一丝不苟的)”, are often less drawn to the arts. These traits are part of the Big Five, a widely accepted personality theory based on nearly a century of research. The model claims that each personality is composed of a combination of five core traits: openness conscientiousness, extroversion (enjoying being with other people), agreeableness (being pleasant) and neuroticism (feeling worried and nervous). Rather than stating a person as being either shy or outgoing, the Big Five Model believes that everyone lies somewhere between the two extremes. Personality traits may also affect the way people visually scan art. A 2018 study tracked participants’ eye movements as they studied abstract artwork. The majority of participants concentrated on the upper-right part. This makes sense, as the right half of the brain is specialized for visual and spatial processing, and also plays a significant role in processing the emotions that art draws out. However, participants who tended toward neuroticism focused on the left side of the picture, and those with mental disease paid more attention to the bottom of the picture. Even with the impressive amount of research into the relationship between people’s personality traits and their love for art, there are still holes in the theories. For instance, some scientists claim that the Big Five Model doesn’t translate across cultures and is mainly targeted toward those living in developed nations. Also, most studies have focused on two-dimensional art, like paintings, and haven’t yet captured differing preferences for the variety of media that exist around the world. Then there’s the fact that our art preferences change over time and are informed by our ages, relationships and life experiences. People’s preferences for art are nearly as complicated as art itself. But if you’re looking for a quick test of someone’s general personality traits, it doesn’t hurt to glance at what’s hanging on their walls. 13. Which of the following is the best illustration of “art is in the eye of the beholder” in paragraph 1? A. We judge a piece of art based on whether it is considered beautiful. B. The beauty of a piece of artwork depends on its quality and price. C. The owner of the artwork is the one who loves it the most. D. Whether an artwork is appealing is a subjective matter. 14. The shadowed area in each of the following pictures is the part a person focuses on when enjoying an abstract painting. According to the 2018 study, which best illustrates the perception of a person who tends to be in anxiety? A B. C. D. 15. What can be inferred from the passage about the Big Five Model? A. It is a globally accepted measuring system. B. Everyone can fit into one of the five categories. C. There is much evidence of scientific studies to back it. D. It can explain the change in our art preference over time. 16. What is the best title of this passage? A. What does your taste in art say about you? B. How to reveal one’s personality traits? C. Why do we like the artwork we like? D. How to discover your art preference? 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。 Reasonable people should not have blind faith in the medical profession. ____17____ We have to check out the medicine we take.

A tall official was checking all the athletes. “Number Three. John Fisher.” John nodded while a ripple of goosebumps (一阵鸡皮疙瘩) shot up his backbone. He should be calm as he had trained pretty hard for the race. However, he had a headache and a sense of imbalance from his poor sleep the night before, Scenes of the last competition filled his head, when he had put in a good effort, doing what he thought was enough only to see another man beat him. The bitter taste of loss spread slowly in his mouth even now. Suddenly, John felt a “man” in black standing beside him, who looked quite familiar. He looked at John and sneered (讥笑), “Hey. You are not good enough. You’re going to fail like in the last competition!” How dare he say that? John angrily punched （拳打） him, who, however, disappeared into thin air. John remembered the early mornings when he was the first to arrive at the training ground, pushing himself through one more set of exercises each time. Determined not to let this negative voice affect him, he took a deep breath and looked ahead. “Now, everyone, follow me,” the official said and led the group into the arena (运动场). John looked over at the other competitors, each dressed in a similar uniform, well-trained and prepared. John knew he had a tough race ahead of him. The “man” appeared and sneered again “Good luck. You’re going to need it!” Ignoring the “man” and the competitors, John placed his fingers against the starting line and put his body in position. “What should I do first?” he wondered, All the strategies he had planned the night before were gone. He could feel the eye of the crowd on him and he wasn’t ready. Paragraph 1: Bang! John dashed out, but his foot almost slipped. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The “man” in black appeared and congratulated him, too. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 杭州四中（吴山）2024学年第一学期高二年级期中考试 英语试题卷 考生须知： 1.本试卷分试题卷和答题卷，满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2.答题前，在答题卷上填写班级、姓名、考场号、座位号，并填涂卡号。 3.所有答案必须写在答题卷上，写在试题卷上无效。 4.考试结束，只上交答题卷。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5 段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的 A、B、O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。 1.

It’s not unusual to have a piece of jewelry made to your own unique design.(我们将带你去Al Ashat街，那里的店主不仅仅是卖黄金的；他们中的许多人都是手工制作黄金的。拥有一件自己独特设计的珠宝并不罕见)”和“There’ll also be an opportunity to experience a camel ride.(也会有机会体验骑骆驼)”以及Section 3中的“Machbous (to share): Served with the fish of the day (ask your waiter for details), machbous is a traditional stew (炖菜) with spicy rice which shows the influence of Asia on Qatari cooking.(Machbous (分享)：Machbous是一道传统的炖菜，配以辛辣的米饭，可以看到亚洲对卡塔尔烹饪的影响)”可知，Section 2和Section 3鼓励读者在卡塔尔体验一些特别的东西。故选B项。 B Tao Yuanming and Henry David Thoreau were both poets, but one lived in Ancient China and the other in 19th century America. Superficially, these two men, whose lives were separated in time by nearly 1,500 years, were polar opposites. And yet they shared an intense respect for nature, which made them each an influential figure of their time. Both men made dramatic transformations to their lives in order to reconnect with nature. As an official in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Tao felt conflicted over life at court. In 405, he quit the service of the court for good, expressing his unhappiness in the now famous line that he would not “bow like a servant in return for five dou of grain”. He spent the next 22 years until his death, working the land in a poor, rural area. From his poetry, we can learn that although his life was arduous, he succeeded in finding contentment in its simplicity and in drawing pleasure from nature. While Tao’s return to nature was a reaction to a lifestyle he was opposed to, Thoreau’s was a personal decision to transform the way he lived. He had a decent quality of life, but he wanted to live in a simpler way. For two years, two months and two days, he lived in a cottage in the forest on the edge of Walden Pond, focusing on himself and his writing. He explained his reason for doing so in Walden: “I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life.” Both men were happy to withdraw from contemporary life, seeking a harmonious relationship with nature in the quietness of their lives. Although Tao and Thoreau do not treat nature in quite the same way, their works show its beauty and value. Tao’s nature is a place of fields and villages, in other words, rural, and his animals are domestic ones, such as chickens and dogs. The calm and peaceful life he wrote about is in contrast to and critical of the depressive court life. Thoreau’s descriptions of nature emphasized the beauty and purity of the wild areas around him. Devoting himself to observations of the natural phenomena, he recorded his detailed findings in his journals. Thoreau’s writing aimed to convince people that animals and plants had a right to live and prosper, as we do. We should live with them in harmony and enjoy nature’s gifts. It takes considerable courage to reject the easy and familiar and instead try to live closer to nature, as both Tao and Thoreau did. Their choices led them to quiet and reflective lives with fewer material desires. In today’s modern world, their ideas about living simply and being at ease with nature may take us a step closer to attaining personal well-being and fulfillment. 4. Why did Tao Yuanming leave the court? A. Because he was too old. B. Because he felt conflicted over life at court. C. Because he liked nature so much. D. Because he liked living in a rural area. 5. What do Tao Yuanming and Thoreau have in common? A. They treated nature in the same way. B. They lived in the same century. C. They were both unsatisfied with their leaders. D. Their works showed the beauty of nature. 6. What did Thoreau describe in his writings? A. Fields and villages. B. Chickens and dogs. C. Animals and plants. D. Mountains and rivers. 7. What does Thoreau’s work mainly embody (体现)? A. Nature’s wilderness is beautiful. B. We should raise more animals. C. Man should live in harmony with nature. D. we should live in the rural area. 8. What should we do if we want to attain personal well-being and fulfillment? A. Live closer to nature. B. Increase material desires. C. Walk a lot in the forest. D. Share a respect for nature. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. C 8. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是陶渊明和梭罗都是诗人。他们对自然都有强烈的敬意，这使他们各自成为那个时代有影响力的人物。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段第二、三句话“As an official in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Tao felt conflicted over life at court. In 405, he quit the service of the court for good, expressing his unhappiness in the now famous line that he would not “bow like a servant in return for five dou of grain”. (作为东晋的一名官员，陶渊明对官场生活感到矛盾。405年，他永久退出官场，用现在著名的一句话表达了他的不满，那就是——不为五斗米折腰)”可知，陶渊明离开官场的原因是他对朝廷的生活感到矛盾。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段第一句话“Although Tao and Thoreau do not treat nature in quite the same way, their works show its beauty and value. (虽然陶和梭罗对待自然的态度不同，但他们的作品表现出了自然的美和价值)”可知，陶渊明和梭罗对待自然地态度虽然不同，但是他们在作品中都表现了自然的美和价值。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段倒数第二句话“Thoreau’s writing aimed to convince people that animals and plants had a right to live and prosper, as we do. (梭罗的写作旨在让人们相信动植物和我们一样有生存和繁荣的权利)”可知，梭罗的写作旨在让人们相信动植物和人类一样有生存和繁荣的权利。由此可推知，在他的作品中会描写动物和植物。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句话“Both men were happy to withdraw from contemporary life, seeking a harmonious relationship with nature in the quietness of their lives.(两人都乐于退出当代生活，在平静的生活中寻求与大自然的和谐关系)”以及第五段最后一句话“We should live with them in harmony and enjoy nature’s gifts. (我们应该与他们和谐相处，享受大自然的恩赐。)”可推知，梭罗的作品主要体现出人类应该和大自然和谐共处。故选C。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“It takes considerable courage to reject the easy and familiar and instead try to live closer to nature, as both Tao and Thoreau did. Their choices led them to quiet and reflective lives with fewer material desires. In today’s modern world, their ideas about living simply and being at ease with nature may take us a step closer to attaining personal well-being and fulfillment.( 就像陶和梭罗一样，拒绝容易和熟悉的事物，转而努力贴近自然，这需要相当大的勇气。他们的选择使他们过上了平静、沉思的生活，物质欲望更少。在今天的现代世界中，他们关于简单生活和与自然和谐相处的想法可能会使我们离实现个人幸福和成就更近一步)”可知，就像陶和梭罗一样，拒绝容易和熟悉的事物，转而努力贴近自然，这需要相当大的勇气，但正是因为这样，他们才过上了平静，幸福的生活。由此可推知，如果我们想获得个人幸福感和成就感，就要贴近自然，平静地生活。故选A。 C Tears are good for your eyes. In fact, without them, your eyes wouldn’t even be able to move. Some people say tears help us in other ways, too. Maybe you know someone who likes to watch sad movies in order to “have a good cry”. It hasn’t been proven, but tears may be good not only for your eyes but also for your emotional health as well. We generally only notice tears when we cry, but we have them in our eyes all the time. Tears affect how we see the world while at the same time protecting our eyes from it. Without this liquid covering them, our eyes would be at risk of infection. In addition, we need tears in order to see. The cornea (角膜) of the eye does not have a perfectly smooth surface. Tears fill in the holes in the cornea and make it smooth so that we can see clearly. Without tears, the world would look very strange to us. Tom Lutz, the author of Crying: The Natural and Cultural History of Tears, writes, “Throughout history, and in every culture,... everyone everywhere cries at some time.” Even men and women who say they never cry can usually remember crying as children. Most of us probably think it’s normal for men or women to cry at certain times, and at such times, we may even encourage them to cry. For example, it’s no surprise when someone cries during a sad movie, and we often expect people to cry when a family member dies. However, we don’t always take this view of tears. Sometimes adults who cry - or even children who do - lose the respect of others. For example, what would you think of an adult who cried over losing a card game? Most people are aware of the social rules about when, where, and why it’s OK to cry. These rules generally differ for children and adults, and often for men and women. They depend on things such as family, culture, and religion, and they change over time. Some people think it’s not just OK to cry but actually healthy to let the tears flow. Doctors in Greece over 2,500 years ago thought that tears came from the brain and that everyone needed to let them out. Today, many people still believe in getting tears out. They say that through crying, we get rid of emotions we have stored up, which is good for our mental health. Some people report that they feel better after crying. This could be because of the chemicals in emotional tears. One chemical is a type of endorphin (内啡肽), a painkiller that the body naturally produces. Emotional tears increase the amount of endorphin that gets to the brain because tears flow from the eye into the nose and pass to the brain that way. This painkiller may make a person less aware of sad or angry feelings, and that could explain why someone feels better after “a good cry”. 9. When do we have tears in our eyes? A. They are always there. B. When eyes are at risk of infection. C. When we have emotions. D. They appear randomly. 10. How do tears help us see clearly? A. Through the smooth surface of the cornea. B. Through the cornea of the eyes. C. Through filling in the holes in the corner and making it smooth. D. Through the holes in the cornea. 11. Which of the following elements is NOT the things that are related to the social rules of crying? A. Family B. Culture C. Religion D. Gender 12. What is “a good cry”? A. It is a kind of painkiller that the body naturally produces. B. It refers to emotional tears that increase the quantity of endorphin that gets to the brain. C. It refers to the tears flow from the eyes into the nose and pass to the brain. D. It is a painkiller that make a person less aware of sad or angry feelings. 【答案】9. A 10. C 11. D 12. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了眼泪的作用，包括其对眼睛的保护作用、对视觉的影响以及眼泪与情感健康的关系，同时探讨了社会对哭泣的看法和态度。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“We generally only notice tears when we cry, but we have them in our eyes all the time. (我们通常只有在哭的时候才注意到眼泪，但实际上我们的眼睛里一直都有眼泪。)”可知，我们的眼睛里一直都有眼泪。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Tears fill in the holes in the cornea and make it smooth so that we can see clearly. (眼泪填补了角膜上的孔洞，使其变得光滑，这样我们才能看清楚。)”可知，眼泪通过填补角膜上的孔洞并使其光滑来帮助我们看清东西。故选C项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Most people are aware of the social rules about when, where, and why it’s OK to cry. These rules generally differ for children and adults, and often for men and women. They depend on things such as family, culture, and religion, and they change over time. (大多数人都知道什么时候、在哪里、为什么可以哭的社会规则。这些规则通常对儿童和成人不同，对男性和女性也常常不同。它们取决于家庭、文化和宗教等因素，并且会随着时间的推移而变化。)”可知，与哭泣相关的社会规则与家庭、文化和宗教有关，而未提及性别是决定因素，但文中提到了男性和女性之间的差异，说明性别影响的是规则的具体内容，而非决定是否存在这样的规则。因此，选项D“性别”不是与哭泣的社会规则相关的因素(而是影响规则内容的因素之一)。故选D项。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段中的“This could be because of the chemicals in emotional tears. One chemical is a type of endorphin(内啡肽), a painkiller that the body naturally produces. Emotional tears increase the amount of endorphin that gets to the brain because tears flow from the eye into the nose and pass to the brain that way. This painkiller may make a person less aware of sad or angry feelings, and that could explain why someone feels better after “a good cry”. (这可能是因为情感眼泪中的化学物质。其中一种化学物质是内啡肽，这是一种身体自然产生的止痛药。情感眼泪增加了到达大脑的内啡肽的数量，因为眼泪从眼睛流入鼻子，然后通过这种方式传递到大脑。这种止痛药可能会让人对悲伤或愤怒的感觉不那么敏感，这可以解释为什么有人在“大哭一场”之后感觉更好。)”可知，“a good cry”指的是情感眼泪，这种眼泪能增加到达大脑的内啡肽的数量。故选B项。 D Much like beauty, art is in the eye of the beholder. The artwork we are attracted to can give insight into our personality, such as whether we are too quick or too slow, calm or moody. Studies into art preferences date back to the 1930s — most of them examining the extent to which people like or dislike different paintings. Research shows that a person’s interest in art is more strongly related to certain personality traits than to social class, age, or gender. In particular, a personality trait called “openness” is the best predictor of whether individuals are interested in art. On the other side, those who identify as “conscientious (一丝不苟的)”, are often less drawn to the arts. These traits are part of the Big Five, a widely accepted personality theory based on nearly a century of research. The model claims that each personality is composed of a combination of five core traits: openness, conscientiousness, extroversion (enjoying being with other people), agreeableness (being pleasant) and neuroticism (feeling worried and nervous). Rather than stating a person as being either shy or outgoing, the Big Five Model believes that everyone lies somewhere between the two extremes. Personality traits may also affect the way people visually scan art. A 2018 study tracked participants’ eye movements as they studied abstract artwork. The majority of participants concentrated on the upper-right part. This makes sense, as the right half of the brain is specialized for visual and spatial processing, and also plays a significant role in processing the emotions that art draws out. However, participants who tended toward neuroticism focused on the left side of the picture, and those with mental disease paid more attention to the bottom of the picture. Even with the impressive amount of research into the relationship between people’s personality traits and their love for art, there are still holes in the theories. For instance, some scientists claim that the Big Five Model doesn’t translate across cultures and is mainly targeted toward those living in developed nations. Also, most studies have focused on two-dimensional art, like paintings, and haven’t yet captured differing preferences for the variety of media that exist around the world. Then there’s the fact that our art preferences change over time and are informed by our ages, relationships and life experiences. People’s preferences for art are nearly as complicated as art itself. But if you’re looking for a quick test of someone’s general personality traits, it doesn’t hurt to glance at what’s hanging on their walls. 13. Which of the following is the best illustration of “art is in the eye of the beholder” in paragraph 1? A. We judge a piece of art based on whether it is considered beautiful. B. The beauty of a piece of artwork depends on its quality and price. C. The owner of the artwork is the one who loves it the most. D. Whether an artwork is appealing is a subjective matter. 14. The shadowed area in each of the following pictures is the part a person focuses on when enjoying an abstract painting. According to the 2018 study, which best illustrates the perception of a person who tends to be in anxiety? A. B. C. D. 15. What can be inferred from the passage about the Big Five Model? A. It is a globally accepted measuring system. B. Everyone can fit into one of the five categories. C. There is much evidence of scientific studies to back it. D. It can explain the change in our art preference over time. 16. What is the best title of this passage? A. What does your taste in art say about you? B. How to reveal one’s personality traits? C. Why do we like the artwork we like? D. How to discover your art preference? 【答案】13. D 14. C 15. C 16. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是研究表明，一个人对艺术的兴趣与某些个性特征的关系更大，而不是与社会阶层、年龄或性别的关系。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段的“The artwork we are attracted to can give insight into our personality, such as whether we are too quick or too slow, calm or moody.(吸引我们的艺术作品可以洞察我们的个性，比如我们是太快还是太慢，冷静还是情绪化。)”可知，对艺术的喜爱能反映我们的个性，因此“art is in the eye of the beholder”的意思是“一件艺术品是否吸引人是一个主观问题”，故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段的“However, participants who tended toward neuroticism focused on the left side of the picture, and those with mental disease paid more attention to the bottom of the picture.(然而，倾向于神经过敏的参与者关注的是图片的左侧，而患有精神疾病的参与者则更多地关注图片的底部。)”可知，一个处于焦虑状态的人会关注图片的左侧和底部，故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“These traits are part of the Big Five, a widely accepted personality theory based on nearly a century of research.(这些特质是“Big Five”的一部分。“Big Five”是基于近一个世纪的研究而被广泛接受的人格理论。)”可知，有很多科学研究的证据支持Big Five Model这一观点。故选C。 【16题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的“The artwork we are attracted to can give insight into our personality, such as whether we are too quick or too slow, calm or moody. Studies into art preferences date back to the 1930s — most of them examining the extent to which people like or dislike different paintings. Research shows that a person’s interest in art is more strongly related to certain personality traits than to social class, age, or gender.(吸引我们的艺术作品可以洞察我们的个性，比如我们是太快还是太慢，冷静还是情绪化。关于艺术偏好的研究可以追溯到20世纪30年代，大多数研究都是调查人们对不同绘画作品的喜欢或不喜欢程度。研究表明，一个人对艺术的兴趣与某些个性特征的关系更大，而不是与社会阶层、年龄或性别的关系。)”可知，本文主要讲的是研究表明，一个人对艺术的兴趣与某些个性特征的关系更大，而不是与社会阶层、年龄或性别的关系，因此最好的题目是A选项“What does your taste in art say about you?(你的艺术品味说明了关于你的什么？)”，故选A。 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。 Reasonable people should not have blind faith in the medical profession. ____17____ We have to check out the medicine we take. We have to ask for second and even third opinions. We must do some research. We have to use our common sense and be informed about our health care. While it is true that modern Western medicine has risks, we shouldn’t reject it totally. ____18____ Most people who get good medical care are healthier and live longer. If this is the case why has “alternative” health care become so popular in North America and Europe? Often the fear of surgery motivates people to look for these alternatives. Many people think that these treatments will help even when the situation seems hopeless to Western doctors. ____19____ Surgeons perform dangerous surgery, but natural healers (治疗师) do not seem to give dangerous treatments. People don’t think alternative care would kill anyone by mistake. ____20____ No one wants to go to a doctor in a cold hospital clinic. Since some doctors don’t have a nice “bedside manner”, people like the attention they get from alternative healers. ____21____ All doctors and healers are human beings who can make mistakes. They can miss things and waste valuable time. No matter what happens, we have to think about all of the different options. Remember, there are millions of patients who are alive and well today because of “conventional” Western medicine. A. Some alternative treatments are ineffective. B. In addition everyone wants to be treated warmly. C. We have to realize that there will be risks in almost any treatment. D. Alternative treatments are attractive because they seem less harmful. E. Patients who trust their doctors are more likely to follow treatment plans. F. We all have to get more information about the treatments that we are given. G. The harm to the patients usually comes from not getting medical treatment immediately. 【答案】17. F 18. G 19. D 20. B 21. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。人们在寻求疾病的治疗方法时往往会有多样的选择，本文围绕该选择哪种方式展开了讨论。 【17题详解】 根据后文“We have to……”句型，能够推断出该空也应该是此句型，符合题意的有C、F选项。但是，该空前后都还没有涉及到治疗方式，直到下一行才有“We have to ask for second and even third opinions.(我们必须征求第二甚至第三个意见。)”，在后文的段落中才谈到治疗方式。因此F选项 “We all have to get more information about the treatments that we are given.(我们不得不获取到更多我们的治疗手段的信息。)”更为合适。故选F。 【18题详解】 根据后文“Most people who get good medical care are healthier and live longer.(大多数得到良好医疗保健的人更健康，寿命更长。)”可知，很多得到了好的药物治疗的患者一直变得更加健康且活的更加长久，再根据空前“we shouldn’t reject it totally.(我们不能完全否定西药)”可知，这里应该是讲西药有利的对立一方面，因此 G项“The harm to the patients usually comes from not getting medical treatment immediately.(伤害患者的通常是没有及时立即得到药物治疗。)”最符合题意。故选G。 【19题详解】 根据后文“Surgeons perform dangerous surgery, but natural healers (治疗师) do not seem to give dangerous treatments.(外科医生进行危险的手术，但自然治疗师似乎不会进行危险的治疗。)”可知，外科医生做危险的手术，但自然的治疗师似乎不会做危险的治疗，人们并不认为这种方法会造成死亡，可见，人们更加倾向于选择可供代替的治疗。 D选项“Alternative treatments are attractive because they seem less harmful.(替代疗法很有吸引力，因为它们似乎危害较小。)”最符合题意。故选D。 【20题详解】 根据空后“No one wants to go to a doctor in a cold hospital clinic.(没有人想去冷漠的医院的诊所看医生。)”可知，每个人都希望在医院看病时能够受到热情对待。B 选项“In addition everyone wants to be treated warmly.(此外，每个人都希望受到热情的对待。)”最符合题意。故选B。 【21题详解】 本空位于段首，应该找一个能够概括本段全部内容的选项。最后一段主要讲的主要内容是任何治疗方法都有一定的局限性，对应 C 选项“We have to realize that there will be risks in almost any treatment.(我们必须认识到，几乎任何治疗都有风险。)”最符合题意。故选C。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 I was in Chicago for a job training when I knew a nearby theatre was releasing a film about saving dogs.

As a loyal listener, I enjoy every minute with Teenage Life, which has become a highlight of my week. However, I’ve noticed some problems. The programme airs only once a week and mainly focuses on subject learning, which fails to cater for more students and keeps potential fans from tuning in. To make the show more engaging, I first suggest increasing the frequency to twice a week, which would allow wider coverage and further discussions.

A tall official was checking all the athletes. “Number Three. John Fisher.” John nodded while a ripple of goosebumps (一阵鸡皮疙瘩) shot up his backbone. He should be calm as he had trained pretty hard for the race. However, he had a headache and a sense of imbalance from his poor sleep the night before, Scenes of the last competition filled his head, when he had put in a good effort, doing what he thought was enough only to see another man beat him. The bitter taste of loss spread slowly in his mouth even now. Suddenly, John felt a “man” in black standing beside him, who looked quite familiar. He looked at John and sneered (讥笑), “Hey. You are not good enough. You’re going to fail like in the last competition!” How dare he say that? John angrily punched （拳打） him, who, however, disappeared into thin air. John remembered the early mornings when he was the first to arrive at the training ground, pushing himself through one more set of exercises each time. Determined not to let this negative voice affect him, he took a deep breath and looked ahead. “Now, everyone, follow me,” the official said and led the group into the arena (运动场). John looked over at the other competitors, each dressed in a similar uniform, well-trained and prepared. John knew he had a tough race ahead of him. The “man” appeared and sneered again “Good luck. You’re going to need it!” Ignoring the “man” and the competitors, John placed his fingers against the starting line and put his body in position. “What should I do first?” he wondered, All the strategies he had planned the night before were gone. He could feel the eye of the crowd on him and he wasn’t ready. Paragraph 1: Bang! John dashed out, but his foot almost slipped. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The “man” in black appeared and congratulated him, too. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: Bang! John dashed out, but his foot almost slipped. He quickly regained his balance, his heart pounding in his chest. The adrenaline surged through him, pushing him forward. He focused on the track ahead, blocking out the cheers and jeers of the crowd. His muscles worked in perfect harmony, each stride bringing him closer to the finish line. As he rounded the final bend, he saw the leaders just ahead. With a final burst of speed, he sprinted towards them, his lungs burning and his legs screaming in protest. But he didn’t let up, his determination propelling him forward. To his surprise, he crossed the finish line in second place, just inches behind the winner. Paragraph 2: The “man” in black appeared and congratulated him, too. “Well done, John,” he said, his tone no longer sneering but genuinely impressed. “You’ve come a long way. Remember, it’s not about winning every time, it’s about pushing yourself to be better, about facing your fears and rising above them.” John stared at the “man”, realizing he was a figment of his own doubts and insecurities. “Thanks,” he muttered, feeling a sense of relief wash over him. He turned to his coach and teammates, who were cheering him on. For the first time, he felt like he truly belonged. He knew he still had a lot to learn and many more races to run, but today, he had proven to himself that he could compete with the best. And that, he thought, was victory enough. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了运动员John Fisher在比赛日前的心理状态和经历。John在即将参加另一场比赛时，感到紧张和不安，部分原因是他前一晚睡眠不佳导致的头痛和失衡感，以及上一次比赛失败的阴影。在赛场上，他遇到了一个似乎很熟悉的“黑衣人”的讥笑，这激起了他的愤怒，但他努力不让这种负面情绪影响自己。尽管John努力保持冷静，但当他准备起跑时，他感到计划好的策略都消失了，他感受到了来自观众的目光，并意识到自己还没有完全准备好。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“砰！John冲了出去，但他的脚差点滑倒。”可知，第一段可描写John艰难完成比赛的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“那个穿黑衣服的“人”也出现了，向他表示祝贺。”可知，第二段可描写比赛结束后，John得到了教练以及队友的赞美，以及John的感悟。 2.续写线索：艰难比赛——冲过终点——众人欢呼——感悟 3.词汇激活 情绪类 集中精力于：focus on/concentrate on 意识到：realize/be aware of 重获：regain/recapture 面对：face/confront 行为类 让某人惊讶的是：to one’s surprise/to one’s amazement 决心：determination/resolution 【点睛】[高分句型1] As he rounded the final bend, he saw the leaders just ahead.（运用了as引导时间状语从句） [高分句型2] John stared at the “man”, realizing he was a figment of his own doubts and insecurities.（运用了现在分词realizing作状语，以及省略引导词that的宾语从句作realizing的宾语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
