Glaciers, mountains, rivers, and lakes dot the landscape, with lots of fantastic national parks and astounding nature reserves for you to check out. Laguna San Rafael National Park Located on southern Chile’s Pacific coastline, Laguna San Rafael National Park is one of the most beautiful parts of the country. The park includes the Northern Patagonian Ice Field, which includes both the San Rafael and San Quintin glaciers. You’ll also find Monte Sa Valentin, the highest peak in the southern Andes. Queulat National Park Thanks to its remote location, Queulat National Park is home to a remarkable range of untouched and unspoiled landscape. Its hanging glacier is undoubtedly the park’s most impressive part, as two twinkling waterfalls made of melted ice plunge to the ground from a rocky cliff face. Cerro Castille National Reserve Named after the rocky peak that lies at its heart, Cerro Castille National Reserve is a wonderfully wild part of Chile to explore. The reserve protects and preserves the natural habitats of many different animals and plants. Visitors can sometimes spot South Andean deer, guanacos, and Andean condors off in the distance. Tamango National Park Reserve Located near the southernmost town along Chile’s famous Carretera Austral, Tamango National Park Reserve boasts marvelous scenery and features water sports. You can always go kayaking, swimming, or fishing in nearby Lag o Cochrane. A boat trip along the Lago Cochrane is a fabulous way to see more incredible scenery. 1.

They provide boating and fishing. 2. Which is the best place to see wild animals? A. Laguna San Rafael National Park. B. Queulat National Park. C. Cerro Castille National Reserve. D.

B While enjoying the holiday with her family during the summer of 1955, Chava Willig Levy, who was only three and a half years old, suddenly developed a high fever. After rushing her to the hospital, her family received the tragic news that all families of that generation feared— their precious Chava had polio (小儿麻痹症) . Chava spent the next few months in hospital. Although she could breathe on her own after treatment, she was left paralyzed from the neck down. When she was nine, she was thrilled that she got the chance to go to school. However, it turned out that she was in a single room with a group of kids who all had mobility impairment. Some of those kids were also intellectually disabled. They weren’t even allowed to eat lunch in the cafeteria. Chava now has a communication consulting firm. She even wrote a memoir about her life, titled A Life Not with Standing. Chava became an advocate for disability rights and has dedicated her life to speaking out against discrimination of disabilities in the world. During the pandemic in 2020, Chava spent most offer time inside, starting a YouTube podcast (播客) focusing on one of her passions, music. There has been positive feedback from listeners who have been touched and inspired by the songs discussed on the podcast. “Chava played a fabulous song called Mother by Tom Paxton. I was listening to it while driving,” said Barbara Schumer, a follower of Chava’s podcast. “The lyrics were about adoption and I started sobbing in the car, since I have two children I adopted at birth. I wrote to her after that, and I think she’s a remarkable person.” Despite her disability, Chava said, “Having a disability is an important piece of who you are, and I’m not at all in favor of living my life as if the disability is not important. But it shouldn’t be the thing that holds me back from becoming stronger.” 4. What can we learn about Chava from the first two paragraphs? A. She showed signs of polio at birth. B. She was delayed in polio treatment. C. She didn’t have the right to education. D. She was not treated fairly at school. 5. Why does the author mention Barbara Schumer? A. To show Chava’s influence. B. To advocate Chava’s lifestyle. C. To praise Chava’s music talent. D. To prove Chava’s point of view. 6. Which of the following can best describe Chava? A. Brave and humorous. B. Devoted and positive. C. Honest and confident. D. Forgiving and patient. 7. What message does the text convey? A. Chance favors only the prepared mind. B. Every cloud has a silver lining. C. Misfortune doesn’t define who you are. D. Actions speak louder than words. C People sometimes describe those who are more creative as being “right-brained”, and those who are more logical as “left-brained”. This became a very popular idea about how the brain works. But it isn’t really true. The theory about left and right brains emerged from work that started in the 1950s. Roger Sperry, a neuroscientist at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, got curious about how the two sides of the brain interacted. Through many “split-brain” experiments, he found that the ability to use and understand language is based on the left half. Sperry’s research changed how we thought our brain worked. But the idea of right-versus-left brain skills also caught people’s imaginations. An article based on Sperry’s work claimed that skills such as musical ability were controlled entirely by the right brain. In this way, important research gave way to assumption. In fact, this early research had one huge limitation: Scientists back then had no way to look inside a living brain. Now, researchers have several tools that can image the working brain. One is magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI. It can track blood flow in the brain. Active brain cells need lots of oxygen, which is carried by blood. So high levels of blood flow are used to locate regions where the brain is active. In 2013, researchers used MRI to scan the brains of more than 1,000 kids and young adults. They measured whether some brain functions seemed isolated to the left or right sides. And a few functions were tied more strongly to one side, these scans showed. Among them was language, which supported Sperry’s findings from decades earlier. But most brain networks bounced between both halves. “That disproved the idea that only the right half is at work when you perform music or create art. Activity is very, very distributed because both sides of the brain have a lot to offer,” says Diana Sarko, a researcher at Southern Illinois University. The theory that one side of the brain can control general traits like creativity or logic is out of date. Brain imaging shows that everything is interconnected. 8. What can we infer about Sperry’s “split-brain” research? A. It somewhat misled the researchers during that period. B. It barely influenced our views on how the brain worked. C. It found the two halves of the brain are closely connected. D. It clarified the concept of the left and right half of the brain. 9. What is key to the advances in the modern brain research? A. People’s imaginations. B. Scientific research methods. C. Technological progress. D. A broader range of subjects. 10. What is Diana Sarko’s attitude towards Sperry’s “split-brain” research? A. Negative. B. Supportive. C. Tolerant. D. Neutral. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. We Human Beings are Born with a “Split-brain” B. “Right-brained” or “Left-brained”? Think Again! C. Right-versus-left Brain Skills Shape Your Identity D. Do You Have a Creative Brain or a Logical Brain? D A quote from the American writer, F. Scott Fitzgerald, reads, “To be kind is more important than to be right. Many times, what people need is not a brilliant mind that speaks but a special heart that listens.” Often, we clamor (大声地要求) to be right, to dazzle people with our knowledge and intellect, to show them we are the “superior know-it-all”. However, upon reflection, I find that Fitzgerald’s quote resonates with me more. In this fast-paced, competitive society, most people would want to strive for excellence, to be the best they can be. There is nothing wrong with this. However, there are certain individuals who take it a step further and make it their personal motto to exhibit their one-upmanship (胜人一筹) against anyone whose views differ from theirs. They believe intensely that their values and their knowledge are flawless. Often such people will out-talk those who disagree with them. While they may have seemingly won the argument, is there any real meaning to this? Both parties are likely to dig their heels in and unlikely to admit they are wrong, until one side gives in or gives up. In contrast, I believe it is far more important to be kind than right. Even if we know we are right, we do not have to press our views on others. We should in fact listen more, and learn to appreciate viewpoints that are different from ours. As the famed American educator Stephen Covey once said, “Seek first to understand, then be understood.” Often, we listen not to understand but to contradict the other person. In an argument with someone, we do not even listen to what the other person has to say because while they talk, we are already mentally trying to find ways to shoot down their ideas. It would be far better to silence our minds and to actually pay attention to what the other person is saying. Moreover, the insistence on being right all the time comes with its own extra damage — human relationships are hurt in the process. To prove we are right, we become judgmental. We consider the other person to be less worthy because they are “wrong”. To be right means we put ourselves in the front and center of the relationship, ignoring the feelings of the other party. Friendships and even family relationships become tense just for the sake of winning the argument, when love and empathy would have worked better to ease the tension. 12. Why does the author mention Fitzgerald’s quote in the first paragraph? A. To present the fact. B. To make a contrast. C. To introduce the topic. D. To provide an example. 13. Which best explains the underlined phrase “dig their heels in”? A. Admit one’s mistake. B. Win an argument. C. Accept others’ views. D. Stick to one’s points. 14. According to paragraph 3, why do people often listen in an argument? A. To oppose others’ ideas. B. To appreciate different views. C. To silence others’ minds. D. To seek mutual understanding. 15. Which of the following would the author probably agree with? A. Arguing enables us to get closer to the truth. B. Life is not a race about being right or wrong. C. Quality human relationships are easy to hurt. D. Striving for excellence causes most arguments. 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。 Networking online or in person involves talking to completely random strangers. But many of us don’t like talking to unfamiliar people. Why? We are always told not to talk to strangers. ___16___ It’s a good thing because we need to be aware of danger. But the rule just doesn’t help when you’re trying to network as a grownup. ___17___ I’m hoping this post will give you a few ideas. Bear in mind that you are allowed to talk to strangers at networking events — in fact, you’re meant to. I like to think of it like being on a cruise ship where it’s almost impolite not to say hello to the passengers around you. ___18___ You are all there to meet and talk to each other. You are all strangers to each other. You are all there to make the best of the event. So the first obstacle is your approach and it starts with looking around for someone to meet, making eye contact and then offering a smile. Smiling is the easiest thing to do, but so hard for so many people. However, when breaking the ice, smiling is all-important. ___19___ Test this for yourself; generally if you smile at people, they will smile back even if they don’t mean to. ___20___ This isn’t personal. Just say, “Have a nice day/evening and take care.” Let them go, and move forward. Exchange cards so you can connect with them later. Shake hands at the beginning or end of the interaction, depending on what feels natural. A People mirror smiles. B Offering instructions is my favorite opener. C. As children, our parents drum that rule into our minds. D. Smiling helps shorten the distance and build better relationships. E. Remember, you have plenty in common with your fellow networkers. F. So, how do you talk to strangers at an event when you’ re there on your own? G. Sometimes, you’ll come across people who may not be in the mood to converse. 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。 A willing heart, a summer hot day and some ice-cold lemonade can make a difference.

The couple hadn’t ___25___ the 5-year-old could become so emotionally ___26___ to a disaster so far away and seen only on TV. So they decided to take the time to make a ___27___ out of it and explained what had happened. Edison ___28___ wanted to help and suggested ___29___ a lemonade stand like he saw once in Colorado. His parents thought it a great idea, and ____30____ up on lemonade, ice cream sandwiches, candy, as well as sparkling water. They soon collected an abundance of supplies. The hard opening came on a busy Seattle street, where the response was absolutely a high profile — ____31____ the family. Even though the lemonade was 1 dollar each, drivers voluntarily paid 5, 10, or 20 dollars with instructions to donate the ____32____. Meanwhile, the couple created ways to donate online. After a week, the family had $17,000 to ____33____ to Lahaina. “I thought maybe we could only raise $100 and didn’t know people would be so ____34____,”said Ami.

Little Tim, his eyes shining with anticipation and joy, skipped merrily to the park with his father. Clutched tightly in his small hands was a brand-new kite — a real work of art. The kite’s frame was made of lightweight bamboo and its surface was painted with vivid colors of red, yellow and blue that seemed to dance in the sunlight. A long, flowing tail made of delicate ribbons drifted gently in the soft breeze. “What a fine-looking kite!” Tim exclaimed as he took a closer look, bubbling with excitement about the upcoming kite-flying adventure. When they reached a wide-open space in the park, Tim could barely contain his eagerness to unfurl (展开) the kite string. His father took the kite, his large hands gripping it firmly, positioning it perfectly to catch the wind. “Alright, Tim, run!” he called out, his voice spirited and encouraging. With a deep breath, Tim began to sprint across the field, his small feet pounding rhythmically on the grassy ground, each step kicking up tiny blades of grass. Slowly but surely, the kite caught the wind and began to rise, much like a hesitant bird taking its first flight. “Great job, Tim! Keep going! You’ve got it now!” Father’s proud voice carried across the open space, filling Tim with confidence. Tim’s face flushed with exhilaration as he ran, his laughter mingling with the sounds of nature around him. His gaze was fixed on the kite as it soared higher into the sky, the string slipping smoothly through his fingers. Lost in the magical moment, his senses dulled to everything else; all that mattered was the connection between him and the kite. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Unluckily, a small, sharp branch was sticking out from a nearby tree. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As Tim desperately tried to piece together the torn kite, a comforting hand patted his back. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1-5 BCBAC 6-10BABCA 11-15 BBCCA 16-20 BAACB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024学年台州市第一学期高二年级期末质量评估试题 英语 全卷共10页，满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 考生注意： 1．答题前，请务必将自己的姓名、准考证号用黑色字迹的签字笔或钢笔分别填写在试题卷和答题纸规定的位置上。 2．答题时，请按照答题纸上“注意事项”的要求，在答题纸相应的位置上规范作答，在本试题卷上的作答一律无效。 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纸上。 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。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．Why is the woman unhappy?

Tamango National Park Reserve. 3. Where is the text probably from? A. A geography book. B. A science journal. C. An adventure guide. D. A travel magazine. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，介绍了智利一些自然公园和保护区，为自然爱好者提供旅游相关的信息。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。“Laguna San Rafael National Park” 部分提到 “The park includes the Northern Patagonian Ice Field, which includes both the San Rafael and San Quintin glaciers.( 该公园包含北巴塔哥尼亚冰原，其中有圣拉斐尔冰川和圣昆廷冰川)”，说明该公园有冰川； “Queulat National Park” 部分提到 “Its hanging glacier is undoubtedly the park’s most impressive part(它的悬挂冰川无疑是这个公园最令人印象深刻的景致)”，表明这个公园也有冰川，所以两个公园的共同之处是都能看到冰川。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。在介绍 Cerro Castille National Reserve 时提到 “Visitors can sometimes spot South Andean deer, guanacos, and Andean condors off in the distance.(游客有时能在远处看到南安第斯鹿、原驼和安第斯神鹫)”，说明在这个保护区游客有时能看到野生动物，而其他地方未提及能看到野生动物。故选C项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。文章主要介绍了智利的几个自然公园和保护区，包括它们的位置、特色景观等，是关于旅游景点的介绍，所以最有可能来自旅游杂志。故选D项。 B While enjoying the holiday with her family during the summer of 1955, Chava Willig Levy, who was only three and a half years old, suddenly developed a high fever. After rushing her to the hospital, her family received the tragic news that all families of that generation feared— their precious Chava had polio (小儿麻痹症) . Chava spent the next few months in hospital. Although she could breathe on her own after treatment, she was left paralyzed from the neck down. When she was nine, she was thrilled that she got the chance to go to school. However, it turned out that she was in a single room with a group of kids who all had mobility impairment. Some of those kids were also intellectually disabled. They weren’t even allowed to eat lunch in the cafeteria. Chava now has a communication consulting firm. She even wrote a memoir about her life, titled A Life Not with Standing. Chava became an advocate for disability rights and has dedicated her life to speaking out against discrimination of disabilities in the world. During the pandemic in 2020, Chava spent most offer time inside, starting a YouTube podcast (播客) focusing on one of her passions, music. There has been positive feedback from listeners who have been touched and inspired by the songs discussed on the podcast. “Chava played a fabulous song called Mother by Tom Paxton. I was listening to it while driving,” said Barbara Schumer, a follower of Chava’s podcast. “The lyrics were about adoption and I started sobbing in the car, since I have two children I adopted at birth. I wrote to her after that, and I think she’s a remarkable person.” Despite her disability, Chava said, “Having a disability is an important piece of who you are, and I’m not at all in favor of living my life as if the disability is not important. But it shouldn’t be the thing that holds me back from becoming stronger.” 4 What can we learn about Chava from the first two paragraphs? A. She showed signs of polio at birth. B. She was delayed in polio treatment. C. She didn’t have the right to education. D. She was not treated fairly at school. 5. Why does the author mention Barbara Schumer? A. To show Chava’s influence. B. To advocate Chava’s lifestyle. C. To praise Chava’s music talent. D. To prove Chava’s point of view. 6. Which of the following can best describe Chava? A. Brave and humorous. B. Devoted and positive. C. Honest and confident. D. Forgiving and patient. 7. What message does the text convey? A. Chance favors only the prepared mind. B. Every cloud has a silver lining. C. Misfortune doesn’t define who you are. D. Actions speak louder than words. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，文章讲述了Chava Willig Levy的故事，她三岁时因患小儿麻痹症导致瘫痪，但后来通过努力成为了一名残疾权益倡导者，并通过播客激励他人，展现了她积极面对生活的态度。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“However, it turned out that she was in a single room with a group of kids who all had mobility impairment. Some of those kids were also intellectually disabled. They weren’t even allowed to eat lunch in the cafeteria. (然而，事实证明，她被安排在一个单间里，与其他一群行动不便的孩子在一起，其中一些孩子还存在智力障碍。他们甚至不被允许在食堂吃午餐。)”可知，她在学校受到了不公平的待遇。故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The lyrics were about adoption and I started sobbing in the car, since I have two children I adopted at birth. I wrote to her after that, and I think she’s a remarkable person. (歌词是关于领养的，我在车里哭了起来，因为我有两个从出生就被我领养的孩子。之后我给她写了信，我觉得她是一个了不起的人。)”可知，Barbara Schumer被Chava的播客所感动，从而说明Chava的播客对她产生了积极的影响。因此，作者提到Barbara Schumer是为了展示Chava的影响力。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Having a disability is an important piece of who you are, and I’m not at all in favor of living my life as if the disability is not important. But it shouldn’t be the thing that holds me back from becoming stronger. (残疾是你身份的重要组成部分，我绝不同意过一种忽视残疾重要性的生活。但它也不应该成为阻碍我变得更强大的东西。)”及全文可知，Chava尽管身体残疾，但依然创办了咨询公司，写了一本关于自己生活的回忆录，并成为了一名残疾权益倡导者。她在疫情期间通过播客分享音乐，激励听众。这些行为表明她是一个投入且积极的人。故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。据最后一段“Having a disability is an important piece of who you are, and I’m not at all in favor of living my life as if the disability is not important. But it shouldn’t be the thing that holds me back from becoming stronger. (残疾是你身份的重要组成部分，我绝不同意过一种忽视残疾重要性的生活。但它也不应该成为阻碍我变得更强大的东西。)”及全文可知，文章通过Chava的故事传达了一个核心信息：尽管她遭受了不幸，但她没有让不幸定义自己，而是积极面对生活，成为了一名倡导者和激励者。因此，文章传达的信息是“不幸不会定义你是谁”。故选C。 C People sometimes describe those who are more creative as being “right-brained”, and those who are more logical as “left-brained”. This became a very popular idea about how the brain works. But it isn’t really true. The theory about left and right brains emerged from work that started in the 1950s. Roger Sperry, a neuroscientist at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, got curious about how the two sides of the brain interacted. Through many “split-brain” experiments, he found that the ability to use and understand language is based on the left half. Sperry’s research changed how we thought our brain worked. But the idea of right-versus-left brain skills also caught people’s imaginations. An article based on Sperry’s work claimed that skills such as musical ability were controlled entirely by the right brain. In this way, important research gave way to assumption. In fact, this early research had one huge limitation: Scientists back then had no way to look inside a living brain. Now, researchers have several tools that can image the working brain. One is magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI. It can track blood flow in the brain. Active brain cells need lots of oxygen, which is carried by blood. So high levels of blood flow are used to locate regions where the brain is active. In 2013, researchers used MRI to scan the brains of more than 1,000 kids and young adults. They measured whether some brain functions seemed isolated to the left or right sides. And a few functions were tied more strongly to one side, these scans showed. Among them was language, which supported Sperry’s findings from decades earlier. But most brain networks bounced between both halves. “That disproved the idea that only the right half is at work when you perform music or create art. Activity is very, very distributed because both sides of the brain have a lot to offer,” says Diana Sarko, a researcher at Southern Illinois University. The theory that one side of the brain can control general traits like creativity or logic is out of date. Brain imaging shows that everything is interconnected. 8. What can we infer about Sperry’s “split-brain” research? A. It somewhat misled the researchers during that period. B. It barely influenced our views on how the brain worked. C. It found the two halves of the brain are closely connected. D. It clarified the concept of the left and right half of the brain. 9. What is key to the advances in the modern brain research? A. People’s imaginations. B. Scientific research methods. C. Technological progress. D. A broader range of subjects. 10. What is Diana Sarko’s attitude towards Sperry’s “split-brain” research? A. Negative. B. Supportive. C. Tolerant. D. Neutral. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. We Human Beings are Born with a “Split-brain” B. “Right-brained” or “Left-brained”? Think Again! C. Right-versus-left Brain Skills Shape Your Identity D. Do You Have a Creative Brain or a Logical Brain? 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要介绍了关于大脑左右半球功能的研究。过去人们认为 “右脑” 的人更有创造力，“左脑” 的人更有逻辑性，这种观点源于20世纪50年代Roger Sperry的研究，但当时的研究存在局限性。如今，随着技术进步，研究人员可以通过MRI等工具对大脑进行成像，研究发现大脑的大多数功能并非完全由某一侧半球控制，而是相互关联的，从而否定了之前关于左右脑功能的片面观点。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第二段“Sperry’s research changed how we thought our brain worked. But the idea of right - versus - left brain skills also caught people’s imaginations. An article based on Sperry’s work claimed that skills such as musical ability were controlled entirely by the right brain. In this way, important research gave way to assumption. (Sperry的研究改变了我们对大脑工作方式的看法。但是右脑与左脑技能的观点也激发了人们的想象。一篇基于Sperry研究的文章声称像音乐能力这样的技能完全由右脑控制。就这样，重要的研究被假设所取代。)”可知重要的研究被假设所取代，可推理出Sperry的研究在一定程度上误导了当时的研究者，故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第三段“Now, researchers have several tools that can image the working brain. One is magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI. It can track blood flow in the brain. (现在，研究人员有几种可以对工作中的大脑成像的工具。其中一个是磁共振成像，即MRI。它可以追踪大脑中的血流。)”可知，现代大脑研究进步的关键是技术进步，例如磁共振成像这种工具的出现，故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文最后一段““That disproved the idea that only the right half is at work when you perform music or create art. Activity is very, very distributed because both sides of the brain have a lot to offer,” says Diana Sarko (这就反驳了在进行音乐或艺术创作时只有右脑在工作的观点。活动是非常分散的，因为大脑的两边都有很大作用，Diana Sarko说道)”可知现代研究反驳了之前基于Sperry研究得出的一些结论，可推理出Diana Sarko对Sperry的“裂脑”研究持否定态度，故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“People sometimes describe those who are more creative as being “right-brained”, and those who are more logical as “left-brained”. This became a very popular idea about how the brain works. But it isn’t really true. (人们有时会将更具创造力的人描述为“右脑型”，而将更具逻辑性的人描述为“左脑型”。这种关于大脑工作方式的观点一度非常流行。但实际上，它并不是真的。)”、第三段“Now, researchers have several tools that can image the working brain. One is magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI. It can track blood flow in the brain. (现在，研究人员有几种可以对工作中的大脑成像的工具。其中一个是磁共振成像，即MRI。它可以追踪大脑中的血流。)”以及最后一段““That disproved the idea that only the right half is at work when you perform music or create art. Activity is very, very distributed because both sides of the brain have a lot to offer,” says Diana Sarko (这就反驳了在进行音乐或艺术创作时只有右脑在工作的观点。活动是非常分散的，因为大脑的两边都有很大作用，Diana Sarko说道)”可知，文章开篇提出“左脑型”和“右脑型”的大脑工作理论，然后讲述了这一理论的起源以及现代研究发现大脑各部分是相互联系的从而推翻了旧理论，B项““Right-brained” or “Left-brained”? Think Again! ( “右脑型”还是“左脑型”？再思考一下！)”表达的含义适合用做本文标题，故选B项。 D A quote from the American writer, F. Scott Fitzgerald, reads, “To be kind is more important than to be right. Many times, what people need is not a brilliant mind that speaks but a special heart that listens.” Often, we clamor (大声地要求) to be right, to dazzle people with our knowledge and intellect, to show them we are the “superior know-it-all”. However, upon reflection, I find that Fitzgerald’s quote resonates with me more. In this fast-paced, competitive society, most people would want to strive for excellence, to be the best they can be. There is nothing wrong with this. However, there are certain individuals who take it a step further and make it their personal motto to exhibit their one-upmanship (胜人一筹) against anyone whose views differ from theirs. They believe intensely that their values and their knowledge are flawless. Often such people will out-talk those who disagree with them. While they may have seemingly won the argument, is there any real meaning to this? Both parties are likely to dig their heels in and unlikely to admit they are wrong, until one side gives in or gives up. In contrast, I believe it is far more important to be kind than right. Even if we know we are right, we do not have to press our views on others. We should in fact listen more, and learn to appreciate viewpoints that are different from ours. As the famed American educator Stephen Covey once said, “Seek first to understand, then be understood.” Often, we listen not to understand but to contradict the other person. In an argument with someone, we do not even listen to what the other person has to say because while they talk, we are already mentally trying to find ways to shoot down their ideas. It would be far better to silence our minds and to actually pay attention to what the other person is saying. Moreover, the insistence on being right all the time comes with its own extra damage — human relationships are hurt in the process. To prove we are right, we become judgmental. We consider the other person to be less worthy because they are “wrong”. To be right means we put ourselves in the front and center of the relationship, ignoring the feelings of the other party. Friendships and even family relationships become tense just for the sake of winning the argument, when love and empathy would have worked better to ease the tension. 12. Why does the author mention Fitzgerald’s quote in the first paragraph? A. To present the fact. B. To make a contrast. C. To introduce the topic. D. To provide an example. 13. Which best explains the underlined phrase “dig their heels in”? A. Admit one’s mistake. B. Win an argument. C. Accept others’ views. D. Stick to one’s points. 14. According to paragraph 3, why do people often listen in an argument? A. To oppose others’ ideas. B. To appreciate different views. C. To silence others’ minds. D. To seek mutual understanding. 15. Which of the following would the author probably agree with? A. Arguing enables us to get closer to the truth. B. Life is not a race about being right or wrong. C. Quality human relationships are easy to hurt. D. Striving for excellence causes most arguments. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了善良比正确更重要，人们应该学会倾听和欣赏不同的观点，而不是一味地坚持自己的观点，伤害人际关系。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“A quote from the American writer, F. Scott Fitzgerald, reads, “To be kind is more important than to be right. Many times, what people need is not a brilliant mind that speaks but a special heart that listens.” Often, we clamor (大声地要求) to be right, to dazzle people with our knowledge and intellect, to show them we are the “superior know-it-all”. However, upon reflection, I find that Fitzgerald’s quote resonates with me more.(引用美国作家F.Scott Fitzgerald的话：“善良比正确更重要。很多时候，人们需要的不是一个会说话的聪明头脑，而是一颗会倾听的特别的心。”我们经常大声要求正确，用我们的知识和智慧让人眼花缭乱，向他们展示我们是“无所不知的卓越者”。然而，经过反思，我发现Fitzgerald的话更能引起我的共鸣)”可知，菲茨杰拉德的引言，引出了本文要讨论的话题，即善良比正确更重要，所以作者在第一段提到菲茨杰拉德的引言是为了引入话题。故选C。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线部分下文“unlikely to admit they are wrong, until one side gives in or gives up.(不愿意承认自己的错误，直到一方让步或放弃)”可知，双方都可能固执己见，由此可知，“dig their heels in”指的是“坚守自己的观点或立场”，选项D“Stick to one’s points(坚持自己的观点)”与其意思相近。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Often, we listen not to understand but to contradict the other person. In an argument with someone, we do not even listen to what the other person has to say because while they talk, we are already mentally trying to find ways to shoot down their ideas.(很多时候，我们倾听不是为了理解，而是为了反驳对方。在与某人争论时，我们甚至不听对方说什么，因为当他们说话时，我们已经在脑海里试图找到方法来驳斥他们的想法)”可知，人们在争论中经常倾听是为了反对别人的想法。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Moreover, the insistence on being right all the time comes with its own extra damage — human relationships are hurt in the process. To prove we are right, we become judgmental. We consider the other person to be less worthy because they are ‘wrong’.(此外，一直坚持自己是对的也会带来额外的伤害——在这个过程中，人际关系会受到伤害。为了证明我们是对的，我们会变得爱评判别人。我们认为对方不值得，因为他们是‘错的’)”可推知，作者认为生活不是一场关于对错的竞赛，为了证明自己对而去伤害人际关系是不值得的，所以作者可能会同意“生活不是一场关于对错的竞赛”这一观点。故选B。 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。 Networking online or in person involves talking to completely random strangers. But many of us don’t like talking to unfamiliar people. Why? We are always told not to talk to strangers. ___16___ It’s a good thing because we need to be aware of danger. But the rule just doesn’t help when you’re trying to network as a grownup. ___17___ I’m hoping this post will give you a few ideas. Bear in mind that you are allowed to talk to strangers at networking events — in fact, you’re meant to. I like to think of it like being on a cruise ship where it’s almost impolite not to say hello to the passengers around you. ___18___ You are all there to meet and talk to each other. You are all strangers to each other. You are all there to make the best of the event. So the first obstacle is your approach and it starts with looking around for someone to meet making eye contact and then offering a smile. Smiling is the easiest thing to do, but so hard for so many people. However, when breaking the ice, smiling is all-important. ___19___ Test this for yourself; generally if you smile at people, they will smile back even if they don’t mean to. ___20___ This isn’t personal. Just say, “Have a nice day/evening and take care.” Let them go, and move forward. Exchange cards so you can connect with them later. Shake hands at the beginning or end of the interaction, depending on what feels natural. A. People mirror smiles. B. Offering instructions is my favorite opener. C. As children, our parents drum that rule into our minds. D. Smiling helps shorten the distance and build better relationships. E. Remember, you have plenty in common with your fellow networkers. F. So, how do you talk to strangers at an event when you’ re there on your own? G. Sometimes, you’ll come across people who may not be in the mood to converse. 【答案】16. C 17. F 18. E 19. A 20. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了如何在社交活动中与陌生人交流。 【16题详解】 根据上文“We are always told not to talk to strangers.(我们总是被告知不要和陌生人说话)”和下文“It’s a good thing because we need to be aware of danger.(这是一件好事，因为我们需要意识到危险)”可知，我们从小就被父母教导不要和陌生人说话，因为我们要意识到危险，选项C“小时候，父母就把这条规则灌输给我们”符合语境，其中“that rule”指代上文“not to talk to strangers”。故选C。 【17题详解】 根据上文“But the rule just doesn’t help when you’re trying to network as a grownup.(但当你作为一个成年人试图建立人脉时，这个规则就没有帮助了)”和下文“I’m hoping this post will give you a few ideas.(我希望这篇文章能给你一些想法)”可知，此处提出了一个问题，即成年后试图建立人脉时，该如何与陌生人交谈，选项F“那么，当你独自参加一个活动时，你该如何与陌生人交谈呢”符合语境。故选F。 【18题详解】 根据上文“I like to think of it like being on a cruise ship where it’s almost impolite not to say hello to the passengers around you.(我喜欢把它想象成在游轮上，不向周围的乘客打招呼几乎是不礼貌的)”和下文“You are all there to meet and talk to each other. You are all strangers to each other. You are all there to make the best of the event.(你们都在那里见面交谈。你们彼此都是陌生人。你们都在那里是为了充分利用这个活动)”可知，此处想要表达的是，参加社交活动的人彼此都是陌生人，但是都为了充分利用这个活动而聚在一起，所以彼此有很多共同之处，选项E“记住，你和你的网络同伴有很多共同之处”符合语境。故选E。 【19题详解】 根据上文“However, when breaking the ice, smiling is all-important.(然而，在打破沉默时，微笑是最重要的)”和下文“Test this for yourself; generally if you smile at people, they will smile back even if they don’t mean to.(你自己试试；一般来说，如果你对别人微笑，即使他们不想这样做，他们也会报以微笑)”可知，此处想要表达的是，你对别人微笑，别人也会对你微笑，选项A“人们会回应微笑”符合语境。故选A。 【20题详解】 根据下文“This isn’t personal. Just say, ‘Have a nice day/evening and take care.’ Let them go, and move forward. Exchange cards so you can connect with them later.(这并不是针对个人的。只需说：“祝你今天/晚上愉快，保重。”然后让他们离开，继续前行。交换名片以便之后可以联系)”可知，此处想要表达的是，有时会遇到一些没有心情交谈的人，此时应让他们离开，继续前进，选项G“有时，你会遇到一些没有心情交谈的人”符合语境。故选G。 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。 A willing heart, a summer hot day and some ice-cold lemonade can make a difference.

Little Tim, his eyes shining with anticipation and joy, skipped merrily to the park with his father. Clutched tightly in his small hands was a brand-new kite — a real work of art. The kite’s frame was made of lightweight bamboo and its surface was painted with vivid colors of red, yellow and blue that seemed to dance in the sunlight. A long, flowing tail made of delicate ribbons drifted gently in the soft breeze. “What a fine-looking kite!” Tim exclaimed as he took a closer look, bubbling with excitement about the upcoming kite-flying adventure. When they reached a wide-open space in the park, Tim could barely contain his eagerness to unfurl (展开) the kite string. His father took the kite, his large hands gripping it firmly, positioning it perfectly to catch the wind. “Alright, Tim, run!” he called out, his voice spirited and encouraging. With a deep breath, Tim began to sprint across the field, his small feet pounding rhythmically on the grassy ground, each step kicking up tiny blades of grass. Slowly but surely, the kite caught the wind and began to rise, much like a hesitant bird taking its first flight. “Great job, Tim! Keep going! You’ve got it now!” Father’s proud voice carried across the open space, filling Tim with confidence. Tim’s face flushed with exhilaration as he ran, his laughter mingling with the sounds of nature around him. His gaze was fixed on the kite as it soared higher into the sky, the string slipping smoothly through his fingers. Lost in the magical moment, his senses dulled to everything else; all that mattered was the connection between him and the kite. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Unluckily, a small, sharp branch was sticking out from a nearby tree. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As Tim desperately tried to piece together the torn kite, a comforting hand patted his back. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Unluckily, a small, sharp branch was sticking out from a nearby tree. However, in his overexcitement, Tim totally failed to notice it. With a sudden, sickening pull, the string got caught on the branch. Without thinking, Tim hurriedly pulled hard on the string, only to have the tail tangled in the tree. The kite, which had been flying so gracefully, was violently yanked back, its frame buckling under the strain. There was a tearing sound that seemed to cut through the air, and the kite came diving down, crashing onto the ground in a mess. He stood there motionless for a second, and then rushed to the broken kite. (97 words) As Tim desperately tried to piece together the torn kite, a comforting hand patted his back. Looking up, Tim saw his father kneeling beside him. “Dad, the kite is broken!” His voice choked with intense sorrow. “It’s alright, Son,” father said reassuringly, “We can fix it, and I’m here with you every step of the way.” Hearing that, Tim sniffed back his tears and nodded. Together, they carefully examined the damage, untangled the ribbons and straightened the bent bamboo. As they worked, Tim felt a glimmer of hope. Holding the partially repaired kite, he learned an important lesson: while not every flight goes as planned, efforts and support can help lift one up.
