广州新东方优能中学教育 2024 年广州市海华高级中学高三期末考 英语 第一部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A Have you ever been really hungry, but there wasn’t much to eat in your kitchen? Did you throw together a bunch of stuff you had on hand and were pleasantly surprised when it tasted good? You aren’t alone. Some of our favorite foods were created by accident. Here’s a sample menu of some familiar foods that would never have happened if someone hadn’t created them by mistake. POTATO CHIPS One of the world’s favorite snacks is the result of a complaint. In 1853, a man was eating dinner at Moon’s Lake House in Saratoga Springs, New York. He ordered fried potatoes, a popular side dish. But when they came out of the kitchen, he didn’t think they were crispy enough. He sent them back to the kitchen, where Chef George Crum was so angry at having his cooking criticized that he sliced the potatoes really thin, put lots of salt on them, and fried them. Not only did the diner love them, but everyone else did, too. They soon became a specialty of the restaurant. TOFU Tofu, or bean curd, is made by curdling (使凝结) fresh soya milk, pressing it into a solid block, and then cooling it. Tofu was accidentally invented in China 2,000 years ago, when a cook added seaweed to soya milk, which made it curdle. This is the same process that is used for making cheese. Like cheese, tofu is a great example of how really messing up a recipe can create something unexpectedly good. CHEESE PUFFS Did you ever wonder who thought up cheese puffs? The company that invented them wasn’t even trying to make food for people. It was trying to make animal feed. In the 1930s, the Flakall Company of Wisconsin made animal food from small, flaked pieces of grain. One day, an employee, Edward Wilson, watched workers pouring cornmeal (谷粉) into the flaking machine, wetting it to keep it from clogging (堵塞). Because the machine was very hot, the wet cornmeal came out of it in puffy ribbons that hardened when they hit the air. Wilson took some of the ribbons home, added oil and flavoring to them, and voila! Cheese puffs! 1. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. Seaweed is also used for making cheese. B. Chef George Crum didn’t like to criticize others’ cooking. C. Cold wet cornmeal hardened when they hit the air. D. Bean curd dates back 2000 years in China . 2. What do the three foods have in common? A. They are the results of complaints. B. They were not created on purpose. C. They weren’t originally made for people. D. They are all popular throughout the world. 3. What’s the purpose of the text? A. To compare the features of some foods. B. To inform readers of some foods. C. To recommend some foods. D. To introduce the origins of some foods. 【文本大意】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍的是三种食物的来历。 1.【答案】D 【解析】细节理解题。根据TOFU部分中的“Tofu was accidentally invented in China 2,000 years ago, when a cook added seaweed to soya milk, which made it curdle.”2000年前，一位厨师在豆浆中加入海藻，使豆浆凝结，意外地在中国发明了豆腐。可知，豆腐在2000年前被一位厨师意外地发现。由此可知，豆腐可以追溯到2000年前的中国。故选D项。 2.【答案】B 【解析】细节理解题。根据首段中的“Some of our favorite foods were created by accident. Here’s a sample menu of some familiar foods that would never have happened if someone hadn’t created them by mistake.”我们最喜欢的一些食物是偶然创造出来的。下面是一些熟悉的食物的样本菜单，如果不是有人错误地创造了它们，就永远不会发生。可知，本文是介绍的是意外发明的食物，并列举了三种食物。由此可知，这三种食物的共同点是：它们都是无意间被发明出来的。故选B项。 3.【答案】D 【解析】推理判断题。根据首段中的“Some of our favorite foods were created by accident. Here’s a sample menu of some familiar foods that would never have happened if someone hadn’t created them by mistake.”我们最喜欢的一些食物是偶然创造出来的。下面是一些熟悉的食物的样本菜单，如果不是有人错误地创造了它们，就永远不会发生。可知，本文是介绍的是意外发明的食物，并列举了三种食物进行介绍说明。由此推知，这篇文章的目的是介绍一些食物的来历。故选D项。 B All the Beauty in the World, Patrick Bringley’s memoir (回忆录) about his 10 years working as a guard at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art (Met), brings new meaning to the term “art appreciation”. During 8–12 hour shifts spent among the galleries, he takes advantage of the gift of time to study the masterpieces he’s been hired to protect and to think about the role of art throughout history. Bringley is not the only Met staffer to write about the institution. But Bringley’s “guard’s-eye view” is unique, and he presents his personal story with sincerity. After his brother Tom’s death from cancer in 2008, Bringley gave up his job as a journalist for a job in which “I was happy to be going nowhere”. He explains, “I had lost someone. I did not wish to move on from that. In a sense, I didn’t wish to move at all.” Bringley doesn’t say when he decided to channel his experience of finding peace into art, but this story about jumping off the career ladder in order to find the space for quiet reflection is surprisingly suited to our times. All the Beauty in the World offers well-chosen facts about the museum to support Bringley’s personal tale. As interesting as these facts are, it’s Bringley’s reflections on dozens of individual paintings, photographs, sculptures and ancient artifacts that turn this book into a tribute (致敬) to the power of art. Discussing Alfred Stieglitz’s photographs of his wife, he writes, “I think that sometimes we need permission to stop and adore things, and a work of art gives us that.” In a Vermeer port rait of a dozing maidservant, he is moved to see that the artist caught “that feeling we sometimes have that a private setting possesses a holiness (神圣) of its own. It was my constant feeling in Tom’s hospital room”. As rich in moving insights as the Met is in treasures, All the Beauty in the World reminds us of the importance of learning not about art, but from it. This is art appreciation at a high level. 4. What makes All the Beauty in the World different from other books by Met staffers? A. Its author’s personal sad story. B. Its author’s unique point of view. C. Its well-chosen facts about the museum. D. Its detailed introduction to the artworks. 5．Why did Bringley decide to become a guard at the Met? A. To remember his dead brother. B. To enrich his journalism career. C. To find some peace and quiet in art. D. To study the artworks more closely. 6. How does Bringley tell the museum stories in his memoir? A. By relating museum facts to his personal life. B. By interviewing retired museum staff members. C. By presenting the background of each masterpiece. D. By engaging visitors in the discussion of the artworks. 7. What does the author think of the book as a whole? A. It reveals the inner world of the author. B. It offers new insights into art appreciation. C. It tells little-known facts about the museum. D. It deserves to be read for some peace and quiet. 【文本大意】本文是说明文。作者介绍了Patrick Bringley的回忆录《All the Beauty in the World》以及他在纽约大都会艺术博物馆工作10年的经历。 4.【答案】B 【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段“Bringley is not the only Met staffer to write about the institution. But Bringley’s “guard’s-eye view” is unique, and he presents his personal story with sincerity.”Bringley并不是唯一一个写大都会博物馆的员工。但Bringley的“哨兵视角”是独一无二的，他真诚地呈现了自己的个人故事。可知，Bringley独特的视角让《世界上所有的美丽》与大都会工作人员的其他书籍不同。故选B项。 5.【答案】C 【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段“After his brother Tom’s death from cancer in 2008, Bringley gave up his job as a journalist for a job in which “I was happy to be going nowhere”. He explains, “I had lost someone. I did not wish to move on from that. In a sense, I didn’t wish to move at all.” Bringley doesn’t say when he decided to channel his experience of finding peace into art, but this story about jumping off the career ladder in order to find the space for quiet reflection is surprisingly suited to our times.”2008年，他的哥哥汤姆因癌症去世后，Bringley放弃了记者的工作，转而从事一份“我很高兴自己哪儿也去不了”的工作。他解释说：“我失去了一个我爱的人。我并不想就这样结束。从某种意义上说，我根本不想搬家。”Bringley没有说他是什么时候决定把自己寻找平静的经历转化为艺术的，但这个关于为了寻找安静反思的空间而放弃职业阶梯的故事，与我们的时代惊人地契合。可知，为了在艺术中寻找平和与宁静，所以Bringley决定成为大都会博物馆的一名警卫。故选C项。 6.【答案】A 【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段“All the Beauty in the World offers well-chosen facts about the museum to support Bringley’s personal tale.”《All the Beauty in the World》提供了精心挑选的关于博物馆的事实来支持布林利的个人故事。可知，在他的回忆录中，Bringley把博物馆的事实和他的个人生活联系起来。故选A项。 7.【答案】B 【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段“All the Beauty in the World, Patrick Bringley’s memoir (回忆录) about his 10 years working as a guard at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art (Met), brings new meaning to the term “art appreciation”.”Patrick Bringley的回忆录《All the Beauty in the World》讲述了他在纽约大都会艺术博物馆当警卫的10年经历，为“艺术欣赏”一词带来了新的含义。以及最后一段“As rich in moving insights as the Met is in treasures, All the Beauty in the World reminds us of the importance of learning not about art, but from it. This is art appreciation at a high level.”就像大都会博物馆的宝藏一样，《All the Beauty in the World》充满了动人的见解，它提醒我们从艺术中学习的重要性，而不是了解艺术。这是一种高层次的艺术欣赏。可知，作者认为这本书为艺术欣赏提供了新的见解。故选B项。 C The word “art” usually evokes (唤起) images of white-walled galleries, abstract paintings costing millions of dollars and wealthy people, far removed from our everyday experience. Yet, art in 21st century is a different story. The Internet has weakened the idea that art appreciation is only for the rich. It has enabled more people than ever to have access to art. Netizens are not only consumers of art but creators and participants, too. The social media has made it much easier to share unprofessional work with the whole world. An unprofessional artist can now sell work or get advertising money from online videos. “A picture is worth a thousand words” is the motto of data visualisation (可视化) fans. The amount of information available today can be huge, so some people are working on presenting data using visually appealing diagrams that are easy for the public to understand. Of course, diagrams can also be used by dishonest people to mislead the audience, so we need to take care to interpret them the right way. Another way that art advances education is by enabling us to understand concepts that are invisible to the naked eye. For most biology students, the names and functions of dozens of proteins go in one ear and out the other, but unforgettable videos like “The Inner Life of the Cell” turn proteins into tiny people with different jobs in a city of large machinery. The same goes for concepts in physics such as black holes—we can understand them better with the help of artists who have backgrounds in both art and science. Even though most people may not be consciously aware of it, art is all around us. As most of our surrounding environment is man-made, everything in it contains some element of art and can influence our behaviour—telling us where to go or how to interact with objects, feeding us true or false information and controlling our emotions. Art indeed has a greater impact than many would believe it does. 8. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. How the Internet provides service for the rich. B. How the Internet brings art closer to everyone. C. How netizens can contribute to art. D. How people appreciate and use art. 9. What’s the author’s attitude towards using diagrams in paragraph 3? A. Optimistic. B. Disapproving. C. Objective. D. Indifferent. 10. What can be inferred from paragraph 4? A. Videos turn proteins into tiny people. B. Videos explain concepts better than pictures. C. Art helps students understand some concepts. D. Art helps artists have more backgrounds. 11. Which of the following best describes art in the 21st century? A. Accessible and powerful. B. Abstract and graceful. C. Expensive and digital. D. Traditional and controversial. 【文本大意】这是一篇说明文。介绍了21世纪的艺术的便利性和强大影响力改变了人们对艺术的欣赏，有助于促进教育的发展。 8．【答案】B 【解析】主旨大意题。根据第二段“The Internet has weakened the idea that art appreciation is only for the rich, It has enabled more people than ever to have access to art.”互联网削弱了艺术欣赏只针对富人的观念，它使更多的人能够接触到艺术。可知，第二段主要讲互联网如何使艺术更接近每个人。故选B。 9.【答案】C 【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段“Of course, diagrams can also be used by dishonest people to mislead the audience, so we need to take care to interpret them the right way.”当然，图表也可能被不诚实的人用来误导观众，所以我们需要小心以正确的方式解释它们。可推知，作者对第三段中使用图表的态度是客观的。故选C。 10.【答案】C 【解析】推理判断题。根据第四段“Another way that art advances education is by enabling us to understand concepts that are invisible to the naked eye.”艺术促进教育的另一种方式是让我们理解肉眼看不见的概念。可推知，艺术帮助学生理解一些概念。故选C。 11.【答案】A 【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段“Even though most people may not be consciously aware of it, art is all around us.”尽管大多数人可能没有意识到艺术，但艺术就在我们身边。及“Art indeed has a greater impact than many would believe it does.”艺术的影响确实比许多人想象的要大。可推知，21世纪的艺术的是既方便又强大，故选A。 D I was riding my special motorbike this past weekend and stopped at a store. As I was getting my wheelchair off the back, a man watched me from his car and I noticed a wheelchair in his back seat. We spoke for a moment and I asked him about the wheelchair. He answered that it was for his daughter. “Well, do you think she would like to go for a ride on my motorbike with me?” I asked. He seemed shocked that a total stranger would ask him this. He thought about it for a second and said, “OK, as long as I can follow you.” He introduced me to Amy and he sat her on my back seat. Her father followed me for a few miles and she talked non-stop about what she wanted for Christmas. As we came back to the store, she said, “This ride is the best Christmas present I could ever receive. I have been in a wheelchair my whole life and didn’t know I could do this.” Then she turned to him and said, “Oh Daddy, I’m going to be OK. Mr. Bryant does all kinds of things—and I will, too.” Her father hugged me and said, “I was sitting here praying for a gift for Amy that would encourage her. She often felt that her life was dull compared to other children. God answered my prayer (祷告) just now. Now I pray that God will bless you for your gift to Amy today.” Being kind and thoughtful to others, we can be an answer to prayer. 12. What can we know about the author? A. He was a disabled man. B.

He seemed shocked that a total stranger would ask him this.”“嗯，你觉得她愿意和我一起骑摩托车吗？”我问道。他似乎对一个完全陌生的人问他这个问题感到震惊。可知，当作者邀请他的女儿去兜风时，这位父亲一开始感到很惊讶。故选C。 14.【答案】D 【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段中的“I was sitting here praying for a gift for Amy that would encourage her. She often felt that her life was dull compared to other children.”我坐在这里为艾米祈祷一份能激励她的礼物。她经常觉得自己的生活与其他孩子相比很枯燥。可知，由于残疾，女孩通常对生活感到难过。故选D。 15.【答案】C 【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段中的“As we came back to the store, she said, “This ride is the best Christmas present I could ever receive. I have been in a wheelchair my whole life and didn’t know I could do this.””当我们回到商店时，她说：“这次骑行是我能收到的最好的圣诞礼物。我一辈子都坐在轮椅上，不知道我能做到这一点。”以及“Now I pray that God will bless you for your gift to Amy today.”现在我祈祷上帝保佑你今天给艾米的礼物。可知，女孩的父亲认为这次骑行是她得到的最好的圣诞礼物。故选C。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 You’ve sized up the benefits of volunteering, looked over your schedule, and decided you have both the time and desire to give back to your community. 1 Here are some tips to find and get suitable volunteer opportunities in your area—or farther afield. Identify your values. 2 Make a list of the values that drive you, or the issues you care about, and then look for organizations with complementary (互补的) missions and opportunities. For instance, if your primary motivation is to strengthen social connections with peers, you might look to organizations such as school groups that require interaction with other parents, or neighbors. If you’re motivated to serve the less fortunate, you might target organizations that work with housing-insecure populations, people with disabilities or members of historically disadvantaged groups. Motivations for volunteering are as diverse as the volunteers harboring them. 3 Try to involve the whole family. Many parents who volunteer turn giving back into a family affair. Community service is a great way to teach kids the value of selflessness. 4 Look for volunteer engagements that welcome people of all ages and abilities, and schedule time for the whole family to participate —whether that means spending an afternoon picking up trash on the side of the highway, or a week in a faraway flood zone. 5 Once you find a well-run organization that aligns with (符合) your availability, values, talents, and objectives, work with your contact there to set a volunteer schedule that fits your life. If you’re exploring a frequent engagement —say, a weekly or biweekly commitment—think carefully about how much time you can afford to donate. It’s better to commit to shorter or less frequent volunteer hours than to take on an unmanageable workload. A. What motivates you to give back? B. Don’t bite off more than you can chew. C. Are you ready to build a list of ideal places to volunteer? D. It’s also an opportunity to spend more time with your family. E. Don’t overthink the process of finding opportunities to volunteer. F. Whatever your motivations are, there’s an organization out there that needs your help. G. Now comes the most difficult part: finding volunteer opportunities that are right for you. 【文本大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何通过志愿服务来回馈社会。 1.【答案】G 【解析】根据上文“You’ve sized up the benefits of volunteering, looked over your schedule, and decided you have both the time and desire to give back to your community.”你已经评估了志愿服务的好处，查看了你的时间表，并决定你有时间和愿望来回馈你的社区。以及下文“Here are some tips to find and get suitable volunteer opportunities in your area—or farther afield.”这里有一些建议，可以帮助你在当地或更远的地方找到合适的志愿者机会。可知，后文给出了寻找志愿者机会的建议，可知本句实在说明找到机会的困难，后文给出解决方案。故G项“现在最困难的部分来了：找到适合你的志愿者机会”符合语境。故选G。 2.【答案】A 【解析】根据本段标题“Identify your values.”确定你的价值观。以及下文“Make a list of the values that drive you, or the issues you care about, and then look for organizations with complementary missions and opportunities.”列出驱动你的价值观，或者你关心的问题，然后寻找具有互补使命和机会的组织。可知，本句与寻找你的志愿者价值观有关系。故A项“是什么激励你回馈社会”符合语境。故选A。 3.【答案】F 【解析】根据上文“If you’re motivated to serve the less fortunate, you might target organizations that work with housing-insecure populations, people with disabilities or members of historically disadvantaged groups. Motivations for volunteering are as diverse as the volunteers harboring them.”如果你有动力为那些不幸的人服务，你可能会把目标对准那些为没有住房保障的人、残疾人或历史上处于不利地位的群体工作的组织。志愿者的动机和他们的志愿者一样多样。可知，上文支出志愿者的动机是各种各样的，本句为本段最后一句，故总结上文，说明动机与志愿者工作之间的关系。F选项中motivations对应上文motivated。故F项“无论你的动机是什么，肯定会有适合你的志愿机构”符合语境。故选F。 4.【答案】D 【解析】根据上文“Community service is a great way to teach kids the value of selflessness.”社区服务是教育孩子无私价值的好方法。可知，本句承接上文，继续说明社区服务的好处，D选项中It指代上文Community service。故D项“这也是一个与家人共度更多时光的机会”符合语境。故选D。 5.【答案】B 【解析】通读本段尤其是“It’s better to commit to shorter or less frequent volunteer hours than to take on an unmanageable workload.”与其承担难以管理的工作量，不如缩短或减少志愿服务时间。可知，本段的主旨是量力而行参加志愿服务。故B项“量力而行”符合语境。故选B。 第二部分 语言知识运用（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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 At the school Art Festival, I was asked to design the costumes for three school plays.

Aminah always studied hard, so there was nothing unusual about her receiving top marks at the end of the year. But Farhan was often playing with the village boys when he should have been studying. To help motivate him this year, their father had promised to buy him a bicycle if his grades improved. Aminah was sure that even this generous offer wouldn’t change her brother’s habits. But when Farhan started staying home and studying, everyone was surprised. At the end of the school year, Aminah received top marks as she always did. And, as usual, her parents gave her 100 rupees (卢比) as a reward. For the first time, Farhan got top marks too. True to his word, their father came home with a bicycle. It was well used, and much of the paint had been chipped (脱落) off. But to Farhan, it was the most beautiful bicycle in their country. Farhan’s friends cheered when they saw it. It was understood that something as precious as a bicycle would be shared with everyone. Well, almost everyone. After a few days of watching Farhan and the village boys learning to ride, Aminah and her friends grew bitter. They spent afternoons on the hill just north of the village, sitting in the shade of a mango tree and watching the lazy stream flow at the foot of the hill. They could hear the boys cheering and laughing on the other side of the hill. “Why doesn’t he let us ride, Aminah?” asked Fatima. Aminah shrugged (耸肩), trying to act as if she didn’t care. “He and the other boys just want the bicycle all for themselves!” replied Shehnaz. Sarah shook her head. “But Aminah is his sister! He should share with her.” An older sister commanded respect. As they talked, the boys’ screams grew closer. Aminah looked up and saw her brother on his bicycle at the top of the hill. “Look! I can do it!” Farhan yelled at the top of his lungs. He had finally gotten the hang of it. The boys cheered as he began to speed up. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Suddenly, Farhan lost control of the bicycle, heading in the direction of the girls, toward the stream. Farhan looked at Aminah, then at his bicycle, then back at his sister. 【范文】 Suddenly, Farhan lost control of the bicycle, heading in the direction of the girls, toward the stream. “Help! Help! I can’t control its speed,” Farhan cried at the top of his voice. So nervous and frightened was Farhan that he had no idea how to stop the bicycle. Seeing the bike running at breakneck speed toward them, all the girls but Aminah shouted with fright and then ran away to avoid being hit. However, it was at the very moment that Aminah stood in the middle of the road, trying to pull the bike to slow down with all her strength. Finally, the bike stopped with no one being hurt. Farhan looked at Aminah, then at his bicycle, then back at his sister. He scratched his head, asking, “Aren’t you afraid of being hit?” “I could run away, but you’re my brother. I can’t leave you in danger,” Aminah replied in a determined voice. Hearing the words, he felt a sense of warmth welling up inside his body with tears of gratitude streaming down his cheeks. It hit him that he didn’t share his joy of getting the bike with his sister, let alone invite her to have a ride. Ashamed and guilty, he looked sincerely at his sister, “Would you like to have a try? I can teach you how to ride.” “Sure!”, Aminah agreed with delight. All boys and girls present cheered and laughed. After that, Farhan shared everything he had with his sister. 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 广州新东方优能中学教育 2024 年广州市海华高级中学高三期末考 英语 第一部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A Have you ever been really hungry, but there wasn’t much to eat in your kitchen? Did you throw together a bunch of stuff you had on hand and were pleasantly surprised when it tasted good? You aren’t alone. Some of our favorite foods were created by accident. Here’s a sample menu of some familiar foods that would never have happened if someone hadn’t created them by mistake. POTATO CHIPS One of the world’s favorite snacks is the result of a complaint. In 1853, a man was eating dinner at Moon’s Lake House in Saratoga Springs, New York. He ordered fried potatoes, a popular side dish. But when they came out of the kitchen, he didn’t think they were crispy enough. He sent them back to the kitchen, where Chef George Crum was so angry at having his cooking criticized that he sliced the potatoes really thin, put lots of salt on them, and fried them. Not only did the diner love them, but everyone else did, too. They soon became a specialty of the restaurant. TOFU Tofu, or bean curd, is made by curdling (使凝结) fresh soya milk, pressing it into a solid block, and then cooling it. Tofu was accidentally invented in China 2,000 years ago, when a cook added seaweed to soya milk, which made it curdle. This is the same process that is used for making cheese. Like cheese, tofu is a great example of how really messing up a recipe can create something unexpectedly good. CHEESE PUFFS Did you ever wonder who thought up cheese puffs? The company that invented them wasn’t even trying to make food for people. It was trying to make animal feed. In the 1930s, the Flakall Company of Wisconsin made animal food from small, flaked pieces of grain. One day, an employee, Edward Wilson, watched workers pouring cornmeal (谷粉) into the flaking machine, wetting it to keep it from clogging (堵塞). Because the machine was very hot, the wet cornmeal came out of it in puffy ribbons that hardened when they hit the air. Wilson took some of the ribbons home, added oil and flavoring to them, and voila! Cheese puffs! 1. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. Seaweed is also used for making cheese. B. Chef George Crum didn’t like to criticize others’ cooking. C. Cold wet cornmeal hardened when they hit the air. D. Bean curd dates back 2000 years in China . 2. What do the three foods have in common? A. They are the results of complaints. B. They were not created on purpose. C. They weren’t originally made for people. D. They are all popular throughout the world. 3. What’s the purpose of the text? A. To compare the features of some foods. B. To inform readers of some foods. C. To recommend some foods. D. To introduce the origins of some foods. B All the Beauty in the World, Patrick Bringley’s memoir (回忆录) about his 10 years working as a guard at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art (Met), brings new meaning to the term “art appreciation”. During 8–12 hour shifts spent among the galleries, he takes advantage of the gift of time to study the masterpieces he’s been hired to protect and to think about the role of art throughout history. Bringley is not the only Met staffer to write about the institution. But Bringley’s “guard’s-eye view” is unique, and he presents his personal story with sincerity. After his brother Tom’s death from cancer in 2008, Bringley gave up his job as a journalist for a job in which “I was happy to be going nowhere”. He explains, “I had lost someone. I did not wish to move on from that. In a sense, I didn’t wish to move at all.” Bringley doesn’t say when he decided to channel his experience of finding peace into art, but this story about jumping off the career ladder in order to find the space for quiet reflection is surprisingly suited to our times. All the Beauty in the World offers well-chosen facts about the museum to support Bringley’s personal tale. As interesting as these facts are, it’s Bringley’s reflections on dozens of individual paintings, photographs, sculptures and ancient artifacts that turn this book into a tribute (致敬) to the power of art. Discussing Alfred Stieglitz’s photographs of his wife, he writes, “I think that sometimes we need permission to stop and adore things, and a work of art gives us that.” In a Vermeer port rait of a dozing maidservant, he is moved to see that the artist caught “that feeling we sometimes have that a private setting possesses a holiness (神圣) of its own. It was my constant feeling in Tom’s hospital room”. As rich in moving insights as the Met is in treasures, All the Beauty in the World reminds us of the importance of learning not about art, but from it. This is art appreciation at a high level. 4. What makes All the Beauty in the World different from other books by Met staffers? A. Its author’s personal sad story. B. Its author’s unique point of view. C. Its well-chosen facts about the museum. D. Its detailed introduction to the artworks. 5．Why did Bringley decide to become a guard at the Met? A. To remember his dead brother. B. To enrich his journalism career. C. To find some peace and quiet in art. D. To study the artworks more closely. 6. How does Bringley tell the museum stories in his memoir? A. By relating museum facts to his personal life. B. By interviewing retired museum staff members. C. By presenting the background of each masterpiece. D. By engaging visitors in the discussion of the artworks. 7. What does the author think of the book as a whole? A. It reveals the inner world of the author. B. It offers new insights into art appreciation. C. It tells little-known facts about the museum. D. It deserves to be read for some peace and quiet. C The word “art” usually evokes (唤起) images of white-walled galleries, abstract paintings costing millions of dollars and wealthy people, far removed from our everyday experience. Yet, art in 21st century is a different story. The Internet has weakened the idea that art appreciation is only for the rich. It has enabled more people than ever to have access to art. Netizens are not only consumers of art but creators and participants, too. The social media has made it much easier to share unprofessional work with the whole world. An unprofessional artist can now sell work or get advertising money from online videos. “A picture is worth a thousand words” is the motto of data visualisation (可视化) fans. The amount of information available today can be huge, so some people are working on presenting data using visually appealing diagrams that are easy for the public to understand. Of course, diagrams can also be used by dishonest people to mislead the audience, so we need to take care to interpret them the right way. Another way that art advances education is by enabling us to understand concepts that are invisible to the naked eye. For most biology students, the names and functions of dozens of proteins go in one ear and out the other, but unforgettable videos like “The Inner Life of the Cell” turn proteins into tiny people with different jobs in a city of large machinery. The same goes for concepts in physics such as black holes—we can understand them better with the help of artists who have backgrounds in both art and science. Even though most people may not be consciously aware of it, art is all around us. As most of our surrounding environment is man-made, everything in it contains some element of art and can influence our behaviour—telling us where to go or how to interact with objects, feeding us true or false information and controlling our emotions. Art indeed has a greater impact than many would believe it does. 8. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. How the Internet provides service for the rich. B. How the Internet brings art closer to everyone. C. How netizens can contribute to art. D. How people appreciate and use art. 9. What’s the author’s attitude towards using diagrams in paragraph 3? A. Optimistic. B. Disapproving. C. Objective. D. Indifferent. 10. What can be inferred from paragraph 4? A. Videos turn proteins into tiny people. B. Videos explain concepts better than pictures. C. Art helps students understand some concepts. D. Art helps artists have more backgrounds. 11. Which of the following best describes art in the 21st century? A. Accessible and powerful. B. Abstract and graceful. C. Expensive and digital. D. Traditional and controversial. D I was riding my special motorbike this past weekend and stopped at a store. As I was getting my wheelchair off the back, a man watched me from his car and I noticed a wheelchair in his back seat. We spoke for a moment and I asked him about the wheelchair. He answered that it was for his daughter. “Well, do you think she would like to go for a ride on my motorbike with me?” I asked. He seemed shocked that a total stranger would ask him this. He thought about it for a second and said, “OK, as long as I can follow you.” He introduced me to Amy and he sat her on my back seat. Her father followed me for a few miles and she talked non-stop about what she wanted for Christmas. As we came back to the store, she said, “This ride is the best Christmas present I could ever receive. I have been in a wheelchair my whole life and didn’t know I could do this.” Then she turned to him and said, “Oh Daddy, I’m going to be OK. Mr. Bryant does all kinds of things—and I will, too.” Her father hugged me and said, “I was sitting here praying for a gift for Amy that would encourage her. She often felt that her life was dull compared to other children. God answered my prayer (祷告) just now. Now I pray that God will bless you for your gift to Amy today.” Being kind and thoughtful to others, we can be an answer to prayer. 12. What can we know about the author? A. He was a disabled man. B. He usually drove too fast. C. He worked in a store. D. He often helped people in trouble. 13. How did the father feel at first when the author invited his daughter for a ride? A. Anxious. B. Embarrassed. C. Surprised. D. Moved. 14. According to the passage, the girl __________. A. was not allowed to do some sports B. used to be a completely healthy person C. was unwillingly to communicate with a stranger D. usually felt sad about life because of her disability 15. What did the author’s gift refer to according to the girl’s father? A. The motorbike. B. The wheelchair. C. The ride. D. The prayer. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 You’ve sized up the benefits of volunteering, looked over your schedule, and decided you have both the time and desire to give back to your community. 1 Here are some tips to find and get suitable volunteer opportunities in your area—or farther afield. Identify your values. 2 Make a list of the values that drive you, or the issues you care about, and then look for organizations with complementary (互补的) missions and opportunities. For instance, if your primary motivation is to strengthen social connections with peers, you might look to organizations such as school groups that require interaction with other parents, or neighbors. If you’re motivated to serve the less fortunate, you might target organizations that work with housing-insecure populations, people with disabilities or members of historically disadvantaged groups. Motivations for volunteering are as diverse as the volunteers harboring them. 3 Try to involve the whole family. Many parents who volunteer turn giving back into a family affair. Community service is a great way to teach kids the value of selflessness. 4 Look for volunteer engagements that welcome people of all ages and abilities, and schedule time for the whole family to participate —whether that means spending an afternoon picking up trash on the side of the highway, or a week in a faraway flood zone. 5 Once you find a well-run organization that aligns with (符合) your availability, values, talents, and objectives, work with your contact there to set a volunteer schedule that fits your life. If you’re exploring a frequent engagement —say, a weekly or biweekly commitment—think carefully about how much time you can afford to donate. It’s better to commit to shorter or less frequent volunteer hours than to take on an unmanageable workload. A. What motivates you to give back? B. Don’t bite off more than you can chew. C. Are you ready to build a list of ideal places to volunteer? D. It’s also an opportunity to spend more time with your family. E. Don’t overthink the process of finding opportunities to volunteer. F. Whatever your motivations are, there’s an organization out there that needs your help. G. Now comes the most difficult part: finding volunteer opportunities that are right for you. 第二部分 语言知识运用（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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 At the school Art Festival, I was asked to design the costumes for three school plays.
