If you are looking for a dream holiday destination, then Bali meets most people’s expectations. The travel information below will help you plan your dream trip to Bali. Best Times to Visit Bali The wet season (off-season): November to March of the following year is the rainy season. Although there is much rainfall, most activities can be carried out except for the volcano hiking. As most of these five months are the off-season for tourism, flight and hotel prices are low, and tour products and activities are cheap. The dry season (high-season): April to October, with less rainfall, is the best season for surfing, diving, mountain hiking and bike riding. During this period, there are many local festivals, so it’s a good time to enjoy cultural activities. For example, the Bali Art Festival, held from mid-June to mid-July, is very attractive to visitors. July and August are the busiest times in Bali. So, if you don’t want to join the crowds, just avoid these two months. During the Christmas and New Year holidays and Chinese New Year, the number of visitors rises sharply. Hotel rooms are easily fully-booked in these two periods, and bookings need to be made 1 — 3 months before your trip to Bali. Best Places to Visit in Bali With over 5,000 square kilometers, there are many places you can visit in Bali. In general, tourism in Bali can be divided into three parts: northern/ eastern, central and southern. ●The northern and eastern parts are good for mountain climbing, hiking, volcano adventures and diving. ●Central Bali is well known for its village scenery, terraced rice fields (梯田), arts and cultural towns. ●Southern Bali has the best places for beach time, sunbathing, surfing and various watersports. 1. When can visitors go to Bali if they want to save money? A. In October. B. In August. C. In April. D. In February. 2. What should visitors do for a visit to Bali during Christmas? A. Travel there with a group. B. Get to know local weather. C. Book hotels ahead of time. D. Avoid popular tourist attractions. 3. Who is likely to travel in the central part of Bali? A. Surfers. B. Artists. C. Beach lovers. D. Mountain climbers. 【答案】1. D 2. C 3. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了去巴厘岛旅行的最佳时间、不同季节的活动以及各个区域适合的旅游项目。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Best Times to Visit Bali标题下的第一段“The wet season (off-season): November to March of the following year is the rainy season. Although there is much rainfall, most activities can be carried out except for the volcano hiking. As most of these five months are the off-season for tourism, flight and hotel prices are low, and tour products and activities are cheap.(雨季（淡季）：11月至次年3月为雨季。虽然降雨量很大，但除了火山徒步旅行外，大多数活动都可以进行。由于这五个月大多是旅游淡季，机票和酒店价格低廉，旅游产品和活动也很便宜)”可知，在2月份前往可以节省费用，因为这是旅游淡季，航班和酒店价格都较低。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Best Times to Visit Bali标题下的第三段“During the Christmas and New Year holidays and Chinese New Year, the number of visitors rises sharply. Hotel rooms are easily fully-booked in these two periods, and bookings need to be made 1 — 3 months before your trip to Bali.(在圣诞节、新年和中国新年期间，游客数量急剧上升。在这两个时期，酒店房间很容易预订满，需要在您前往巴厘岛前1-3个月预订)”可知，在圣诞节期间访问巴厘岛需要提前预订酒店，以确保有房可住。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Best Places to Visit in Bali标题下的“Central Bali is well known for its village scenery, terraced rice fields (梯田), arts and cultural towns.(中巴厘岛以其村庄景色、梯田和艺术及文化城镇而闻名)” 可知，中部巴厘岛以其艺术和文化城镇著名，因此艺术家可能会选择穿越到巴厘岛的中部去。故选B。 B Last Monday, I visited Jalan Besar to find a new fan blade (风扇叶片) for a standing fan that my daughters had broken. I worked in the Jalan Besar area 30 years ago and remembered that there were lots of small hardware shops selling unusual things so I thought that I would have no problem finding a fan blade. However, after walking around for almost an hour, I found out that these shops were no longer around. When I was ready to give up and go home, I spotted an old-fashioned hardware store. After being greeted by a woman, I explained my predicament. She immediately asked me to show her the broken blade. Out of nowhere, a man who looked to be in his 60s came out. He asked to see the blade and then disappeared into the shop. He came back with a blade but it did not look the same as what I had in my hand. We compared the two blades and he said that it might work. I asked him how much it was. He told me that he had taken the blade off an old fan that someone had brought in for repair. He said, “It didn’t cost me anything, so why should I charge you for it?” That really touched me. I took the blade home and it worked perfectly! My daughters got a “new” fan for nothing. When I told my wife (almost in her 60s) this story, she said this reminded her of the kind aunties and uncles who used to run small shops and were always ready to help others when she was growing up. 4. Why did the author go to Jalan Besar? A. To visit his old friends. B. To apply for a job. C. To fix the broken fan. D. To buy a new fan. 5. What does the underlined word “predicament” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Nervous mood. B. Difficult situation. C. Anxious waiting. D. Boring moments. 6. Which of the following can best describe the old man? A. Kind and brave. B. Honest and helpful. C. Determined and curious. D. Open-minded and humorous. 7. How did the author’s wife react to his experience? A. She remembered the old days. B. She was greatly surprised. C. She couldn’t believe it. D. She thought little of it. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者去商店买风扇的叶片，结果走了将近一个小时也没买到。一家老式的五金店的一位老人免费给了作者一个能用的扇叶，对此作者及其家人非常感动。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Last Monday, I visited Jalan Besar to find a new fan blade (风扇叶片) for a standing fan that my daughters had broken.(上周一，我去Jalan Besar为我女儿弄坏了一个落地式风扇找一个新的扇叶。)”可知，作者去Jalan Besar是为了修理坏掉的风扇。故选C项。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。第二段“I worked in the Jalan Besar area 30 years ago and remembered that there were lots of small hardware shops selling unusual things so I thought that I would have no problem finding a fan blade. However, after walking around for almost an hour, I found out that these shops were no longer around.(30年前，我在Jalan Besar地区工作，记得那里有很多卖不寻常东西的小五金店，所以我想找到风扇叶片不会有问题。然而，走了将近一个小时后，我发现这些商店已经不在了。)”和第三段中“When I was ready to give up and go home, I spotted an old-fashioned hardware store.(当我准备放弃回家时，我看到了一家老式的五金店。)”说明作者找不到可以买到风扇叶片的商店了，买风扇叶片时遇到了困境，这时看到一家老式的五金店。从而推知划线词句“After being greeted by a woman, I explained my predicament.(在一位女士的招呼下，我向她解释了我的predicament。)”其中划线短语应为“困境”的意思，与B项同义。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“He asked to see the blade and then disappeared into the shop. He came back with a blade but it did not look the same as what I had in my hand. We compared the two blades and he said that it might work.(他要求看一下扇叶，然后就消失在店里了。他拿着一片扇叶回来了，但看起来和我手里的不一样。我们比较了两种扇叶，他说可能有用。)”可知，这位老人帮助作者找到了能用的扇叶，第五段中“He said, ‘It didn’t cost me anything, so why should I charge you for it?’(他说：‘我又没花什么钱，我为什么要收你钱呢? ’)”可知，这位老人是诚实的，没有收作者的钱。综上可知，这位老人是诚实的并且乐于助人。故选B项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“When I told my wife (almost in her 60s) this story, she said this reminded her of the kind aunties and uncles who used to run small shops and were always ready to help others when she was growing up.(当我把这个故事告诉我的妻子(她快60岁了)时，她说这让她想起了在她成长的过程中，那些曾经经营小商店的善良的叔叔阿姨，他们总是乐于助人。)”可知，他的经历使他妻子想起了过去那些美好的日子。故选A项。 C Fairs and theme parks never seem to lose their attraction. My kids love them as much as I do. Not everyone will agree with me though. My wife is terrified of anything more exciting than the merry-go-round. So why do I love Blackpool’s Big One while she goes white on hearing the word “rollercoaster(过山车)”？ According to psychologists, it comes down to something called a “Type T” personality. Type T’s are thrillseekers who welcome the uncertainty of activities that most people would find hairraising. It seems some of us enjoy the physical sensations associated with fear: the adrenaline(肾上腺素) rush and the beating heart. Scary rides make us feel alive. Terrifying experiences encourage a sense of excitement once we’re back on solid ground though we only enjoy them, experts say, when we’re within a “protective frame” that assures us that deep down, we’re still safe. Recent research has found certain genes(基因) which may be responsible for those of us with Type T personalities. Biochemists have separated a gene called DRD4 which seems more common in rollercoaster lovers like me. New technologies have allowed engineers to design coasters that change speeds quickly, shoot up hundreds of feet into the air and make all sorts of twists. Research suggests that extreme fairground rides tend to appeal particularly to those of us who lead stressful, structured or controlled lives. It’s certainly true that roller coasters are a way of breaking out of the humdrum(乏味的) expectations of everyday life. Theme parks allow us to act like children again, to experience true excitement and behave a little wildly. Where else as an adult can you scream at the top of your lungs and throw your arms in the air without being sent for psychological evaluation? If you’re looking for a great place this summer where you can get in touch with your inner risktaker head for the nearest theme park. It’s a scream! 8. What can we learn about the author’s wife? A. She gets excited easily. B. She fears extreme rides. C. She loves Blackpool’s Big One. D. She rarely disagrees with the author. 9. What do people with Type T personalities tend to do? A. Put their lives at risk. B. Stay energetic all the time. C. Avoid the “protective frame”. D. Enjoy adventurous experiences. 10. What has recent research revealed about the Type T personality? A. It is genetically determined. B. It is common among people. C. It is caused by living separately. D. It is a result of a physical disorder. 11. What’s the main reason why the author appreciates extreme fairground rides? A. They help relieve stress. B. They are technologically designed. C. They contribute to parent kid relationships. D. They are a replacement for psychological evaluation. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。心理学家认为，T型人格的人的喜欢追求刺激，喜欢一些冒险的活动，最近的研究发现，某些基因可能与我们这些T型性格的人有关。研究表明，游乐场里的极限游乐设施对这些压力大、生活循规蹈矩或者受生活束缚的人更有吸引力。所以如果寻求刺激，可以去主题公园。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“My wife is terrified of anything more exciting than the merry goround.”可知，游乐场除旋转木马外，其他项目都让作者的妻子觉得害怕。由此判断出，作者的妻子害怕极限运动。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Type T’s are thrill seekers who welcome the uncertainty of activities that most people would find hairraising.”可知，T型人格的人喜欢寻求刺激。所以T型人格的人喜欢冒险经历。故选D项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Recent research has found certain genes(基因) which may be responsible for those of us with Type T personalities.”可知，最近的研究发现，某些基因可能与我们这些T型性格的人有关。所以T型人格由基因决定。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段第二、三句“Research suggests that extreme fairground rides tend to appeal particularly to those of us who lead stressful, structured or controlled lives. It’s certainly true that roller coasters are a way of breaking out of the humdrum(乏味的) expectations of everyday life.”可知，研究表明，生活压力大、受生活束缚的人更喜欢游乐场比较刺激的项目。作者对此表示认同，所以作者欣赏露天游乐场的主要原因是它们有助于缓解压力。故选A项。 D Jason M. Allen was almost too nervous to enter his first art competition. Now, his award-winning image is stirring debates about whether art can be generated by a computer, and what, exactly, it means to be an artist. In August 2022, Allen, a 39-year-old game designer who lives in Pueblo West, Colorado, won first place in the “digital arts/digitally-operated photography” category at the Colorado State Fair Fine Arts Competition. His winning image, titled Théatre D’opéra Spatial, was made with Midjourney—an artificial intelligence system that can produce detailed images when fed written prompts (提示). Allen’s winning image looks like a bright cross between a classic and modern painting. It’s one of three such images he entered in the competition. Allen posted excitedly about his win on Midjourney’s Discord server on August 25, along with pictures of his three entries; it spread quickly on Twitter days later, with many artists feeling angry about Allen’s win because of his use of AI to create the image. “He just ‘pressed a few buttons to make a digital art piece’,” one Twitter user wrote. “We’re watching the death of art unfold before our eyes.” However, to get the final three images he entered in the competition, Allen said, he took over 80 hours. First, he played around with phrasing that led Midjourney to generate images of women in nice dresses and space helmets. Over time, with slight adjustments to his written prompts, he created 900 repeating processes of what led to his final three images. He gave the final touch to those three images in Photoshop. Then he ran the images through another software program called Gigapixel AI that can improve resolution (分辨率) and had the images printed at a local print shop. Allen is glad that the debate over whether AI can be used to make art is getting so much attention. “Rather than hating the technology or the people behind it, we need to recognize it’s a powerful tool and use it for good so we can all move forward,” Allen said. 12. What do we know about Theatre D’opera Spatial? A. Its beauty is widely accepted. B. Its creation is an easy process. C. It shows the death of traditional art. D. It has caused a lot of arguments. 13. What did Allen do to create his entries? A. He searched for smart written prompts. B. He edited his final images in Photoshop. C. He fed Midjourney with famous paintings. D. He developed the software named Gigapixel. 14. What is Allen’s attitude to the debate over Al-created art? A. Worried. B. Uncaring. C. Positive. D. Annoyed. 15. What might be the best title for the text? A. AI Beats Out Human Artists in the Art Field B. AI Won an Art Contest and Artists Are Angry C. An Artist Wins State Fair Art Contest and Laughs D. The Artist From Pueblo West Is Defending His Work. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了美国科罗拉多州博览会艺术比赛中，AI画作拿一等奖惹怒人类艺术家，并引发热议。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“it spread quickly on Twitter days later, with many artists feeling angry about Allen’s win because of his use of AI to create the image. “He just ‘pressed a few buttons to make a digital art piece’,” one Twitter user wrote. “We’re watching the death of art unfold before our eyes.”(几天后，这张照片在推特上迅速传播，许多艺术家对艾伦的获奖感到愤怒，因为他使用了人工智能来创作这张图像。一位推特用户写道：“他只是‘按了几个按钮就做成了一件数字艺术品’。”“我们正在目睹艺术的死亡在我们眼前展开。”)”可推断，《太空歌剧院》这部AI作品引起了许多争论。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“He gave the final touch to those three images in Photoshop. (他在Photoshop中对这三张图片进行了最后的润色。)”可知，艾伦创作他的参赛作品时，用Photoshop编辑他的最终图像。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Allen is glad that the debate over whether AI can be used to make art is getting so much attention. “Rather than hating the technology or the people behind it, we need to recognize it’s a powerful tool and use it for good so we can all move forward,” Allen said. (艾伦很高兴关于人工智能能否用于艺术创作的争论得到了如此多的关注。艾伦说：“我们不应该憎恨这项技术或它背后的人，我们需要认识到它是一个强大的工具，并把它用于善，这样我们就可以向前迈进。”)”可推断，艾伦对关于他创作的艺术的争论持积极的态度。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段的“In August 2022, Allen, a 39-year-old game designer who lives in Pueblo West, Colorado, won first place in the “digital arts/digitally-operated photography” category at the Colorado State Fair Fine Arts Competition.(2022年8月，生活在科罗拉多州普韦布洛西部的39岁游戏设计师艾伦在科罗拉多州博览会美术比赛中获得了“数字艺术/数字操作摄影”类别的第一名)”和第三段“it spread quickly on Twitter days later, with many artists feeling angry about Allen’s win because of his use of AI to create the image. (几天后，这张照片在推特上迅速传播，许多艺术家对艾伦的获奖感到愤怒，因为他使用了人工智能来创作这张图像。)”及全文可知，文章主要介绍了美国科罗拉多州博览会艺术比赛中，AI画作拿一等奖惹怒人类艺术家，并引发热议。所以“AI Won an Art Contest and Artists Are Angry(AI赢得了艺术比赛，惹怒人类艺术家)”作为文章标题最为合适。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。 How to Read Candidates’ Body Language in an Interview Body language matters, especially in interviews. ___16___ Our posture, gestures, movements or facial expressions can shape our reputations. Learning to read body language is about understanding candidates’ motives. Reading body language during interviews can provide valuable insights into a candidate’s personality. ___17___ Here are some common interview body language signals that you can learn to read. Observe extreme behaviour. A candidate’s harmless action doesn’t mean they won’t fit in well at your company. But be careful about extreme behaviours, like a person constantly checking their phone. ___18___ You can read people’s body language by observing changes in their movements or posture. Imagine, for example, that a candidate suddenly starts tapping their foot. Maybe they feel the interview is taking too long. Or perhaps they’re facing an uncomfortable question. Connect the dots. ___19___ For example, people may cross their arms when they’re cold. But, when you see a candidate crossing their arms, crossing their legs and balling their fists at the same time, prepare yourself for an aggressive (咄咄逼人的) answer. Candidate experience greatly depends on an interviewer’s body language. Positive body language can make candidates relax and open up. Negative body language can spark (引发) defensive and reserved reactions. ___20___ A. Spot the difference. B. Ask detailed questions. C. It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it. D. They don’t necessarily act the same way all the time. E. However, understanding body language isn’t an exact science. F. You can’t always tell what a specific gesture means on its own. G. Be aware of mistakes to preserve a positive candidate experience. 【答案】16. C 17. E 18. A 19. F 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。肢体语言很重要，尤其是在面试中。我们的姿势、手势、动作或面部表情会影响我们的声誉。本文从不同方面就如何在面试时读懂对方的肢体语言给我们一些指导。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Body language matters, especially in interviews.”（肢体语言很重要，尤其是在面试中。）可知，选项承接上文，继续说明肢体语言的重要性。故C选项“重要的不是你说什么，而是你怎么说”切题。how you say it呼应Body language matters。故选C项。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Reading body language during interviews can provide valuable insights into a candidate’s personality.”（通过阅读面试中的肢体语言，可以对求职者的性格有很有价值的了解。）以及下文“Here are some common interview body language signals that you can learn to read.”（以下是一些常见的面试肢体语言信号，你可以学习阅读。）可知，上文谈到在面试中读懂肢体语言可以对候选人的个性提供有价值的见解。也就是说在面试中读懂肢体语言的益处，然后接下来谈到“以下是一些你可以学会读懂的常见的面试肢体语言信号。”故可知E项“然而，理解肢体语言并不是一门精确的科学”切题，说明它是可以学会读懂的。故选E项。 【18题详解】 根据下文“You can read people’s body language by observing changes in their movements or posture.”（你可以通过观察人们动作或姿势的变化来解读他们的肢体语言）可知，本段主要在说要发现不同点。故A选项“发现不同点”切题，为本段的小标题。故选A项。 【19题详解】 根据下文“For example, people may cross their arms when they’re cold. But, when you see a candidate crossing their arms, crossing their legs and balling their fists at the same time, prepare yourself for an aggressive（咄咄逼人的） answer.”（例如，人们冷的时候可能会交叉双臂。但是，当你看到应聘者同时交叉双臂、跷二郎腿和握拳时，你就要准备好接受一个咄咄逼人的回答了。）可知，一个具体的动作可能表达不同的意思，所以你不能总是分辨出一个特定的手势本身的意思。故F选项“你不能总是分辨出一个特定的手势本身的意思”切题。承接下文。故选F项。 20题详解】 根据上文“Positive body language can make candidates relax and open up. Negative body language can spark（引发）defensive and reserved reactions.”（积极的肢体语言可以让应试者放松并敞开心扉。消极的肢体语言会引发防御和矜持的反应。）可知，选项总结上文，说明怎么样做到成为合格的候选人。故G选项“要注意错误，以保持积极的候选人体验”切题。故选G项。 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Whether you live around the corner or across the world, using the right social media technology can improve your relationships with your friends.

Jack’s father was a repairman who spent his days fixing cars, so his hands were always dirty. Jack’s father never said much, but his eyes always seemed to say, “I’m proud of you, son.” And Jack felt it in every nod. Their relationship was a quiet one, with an unspoken bond (纽带). One day, Jack came home from school with a flyer (传单) in his hand. His eyes were bright with excitement as he showed it to his father. “Dad, there’s a school talent show next month, and I want to enter. I’ve been learning guitar for months,” Jack said to his father. His father looked up from the engine he was working on. “You play the guitar?” he asked in surprise. Feeling a little embarrassed, Jack nodded, saying, “Yeah, I’ve been taking lessons. I think I’m ready.” His father cleaned his hands with a piece of cloth, looked at Jack and smiled, “I’ll be there, son. I wouldn’t miss it.” Through his father’s eyes, Jack knew he had his father’s support. The days leading up to the talent show were more practice and anxiety for Jack. He would come home after school and lock himself in his room, the sound of his guitar echoing (回响) through the house. His father didn’t speak too much, but he would prepare delicious food and smiled at Jack whenever he saw his son. He would also quietly listen to the music from the living room. Although Jack felt tired or nervous sometimes, he felt pushed forward by unspoken love. The day of the talent show arrived, and the school hall was filled with excitement. Jack’s hands were shaking as he prepared his guitar backstage. He looked out into the audience and found his father with a broad smile on his face. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As Jack stepped onto the stage, the lights dimmed (变暗) and the audience quieted down. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “I didn’t know you could play like that,” his father said. “You were great.” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】As Jack stepped onto the stage, the lights dimmed (变暗) and the audience quieted down. Jack took a deep breath, trying to calm his nerves. He looked out at the sea of faces, his eyes landing on his father. With a final adjustment of his guitar, he began to play. His fingers danced across the strings, and the music filled the hall. At first, there was a slight tremble in his playing, but as he got lost in the melody, his confidence grew. The audience sat spellbound, and by the end of the performance, the hall erupted into thunderous applause. Jack felt a huge sense of relief and pride wash over him. “I didn’t know you could play like that,” his father said. “You were great.” A big smile spread across Jack’s face. “Thanks, Dad. I couldn’t have done it without your support.” His father put his arm around Jack’s shoulders. “I always knew you had it in you, son. I’m so proud of you.” Jack realized that his father’s quiet presence and unspoken love had been the driving force behind his success. From that day on, their unspoken bond grew even stronger, and Jack knew that no matter what challenges lay ahead, his father would always be there, silently cheering him on. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了高中新生杰克与身为汽车修理工的父亲关系安静且深厚。杰克得知学校有才艺表演，决定展示数月所学的吉他演奏，父亲虽惊讶但给予支持。表演前杰克刻苦练习，父亲默默关心。表演当天，杰克后台紧张，看到父亲后镇定下来，表演从颤抖渐入自信，获热烈掌声。结束后父亲赞扬他，杰克领悟到父亲无声的爱助力成功，父子间无言的情感纽带因此愈发牢固。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“杰克走上舞台时，灯光暗了下来，观众安静了下来。”可知，第一段可描写杰克在演出中演奏吉他的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“我不知道你能弹得这么好，”他父亲说。“你太棒了。”可知，第二段可描写杰克演出取得成功以及得到父亲的赞扬。 2.续写线索：杰克走上舞台——看了一眼父亲——开始演奏——演出取得成功——得到父亲的赞扬——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①爆发出：erupted into/burst forth ②意识到：realized/ was aware of ③变得：grew/ became 情绪类 ①为……感到骄傲：be proud of/ take pride in ②宽慰：relief /ease 【点睛】[高分句型1] Jack took a deep breath, trying to calm his nerves.(运用了非谓语动词中的现在分词作状语) [高分句型2] From that day on, their unspoken bond grew even stronger, and Jack knew that no matter what challenges lay ahead, his father would always be there, silently cheering him on.(运用了that引导的宾语从句以及no matter what引导的让步状语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 织金县2024～2025学年度第一学期期末学业水平检测 高二年级英语 （考试时间：120分钟，满分：150分） 考生注意： 1. 考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑；非选择题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 2. 本卷命题范围：必修第三册 &选择性必修第一册。 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卡上。 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。 例: How much is the shirt?

If you are looking for a dream holiday destination, then Bali meets most people’s expectations. The travel information below will help you plan your dream trip to Bali. Best Times to Visit Bali The wet season (off-season): November to March of the following year is the rainy season. Although there is much rainfall, most activities can be carried out except for the volcano hiking. As most of these five months are the off-season for tourism, flight and hotel prices are low, and tour products and activities are cheap. The dry season (high-season): April to October, with less rainfall, is the best season for surfing, diving, mountain hiking and bike riding. During this period, there are many local festivals, so it’s a good time to enjoy cultural activities. For example, the Bali Art Festival, held from mid-June to mid-July, is very attractive to visitors. July and August are the busiest times in Bali. So, if you don’t want to join the crowds, just avoid these two months. During the Christmas and New Year holidays and Chinese New Year, the number of visitors rises sharply. Hotel rooms are easily fully-booked in these two periods, and bookings need to be made 1 — 3 months before your trip to Bali. Best Places to Visit in Bali With over 5,000 square kilometers, there are many places you can visit in Bali. In general, tourism in Bali can be divided into three parts: northern/ eastern, central and southern. ●The northern and eastern parts are good for mountain climbing, hiking, volcano adventures and diving. ●Central Bali is well known for its village scenery, terraced rice fields (梯田), arts and cultural towns. ●Southern Bali has the best places for beach time, sunbathing, surfing and various watersports. 1. When can visitors go to Bali if they want to save money? A. In October. B. In August. C. In April. D. In February. 2. What should visitors do for a visit to Bali during Christmas? A. Travel there with a group. B. Get to know local weather. C. Book hotels ahead of time. D. Avoid popular tourist attractions. 3. Who is likely to travel in the central part of Bali? A. Surfers. B. Artists. C. Beach lovers. D. Mountain climbers. B Last Monday, I visited Jalan Besar to find a new fan blade (风扇叶片) for a standing fan that my daughters had broken. I worked in the Jalan Besar area 30 years ago and remembered that there were lots of small hardware shops selling unusual things so I thought that I would have no problem finding a fan blade. However, after walking around for almost an hour, I found out that these shops were no longer around. When I was ready to give up and go home, I spotted an old-fashioned hardware store. After being greeted by a woman, I explained my predicament. She immediately asked me to show her the broken blade. Out of nowhere, a man who looked to be in his 60s came out. He asked to see the blade and then disappeared into the shop. He came back with a blade but it did not look the same as what I had in my hand. We compared the two blades and he said that it might work. I asked him how much it was. He told me that he had taken the blade off an old fan that someone had brought in for repair. He said, “It didn’t cost me anything, so why should I charge you for it?” That really touched me. I took the blade home and it worked perfectly! My daughters got a “new” fan for nothing. When I told my wife (almost in her 60s) this story, she said this reminded her of the kind aunties and uncles who used to run small shops and were always ready to help others when she was growing up. 4. Why did the author go to Jalan Besar? A. To visit his old friends. B. To apply for a job. C. To fix the broken fan. D. To buy a new fan. 5. What does the underlined word “predicament” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Nervous mood. B. Difficult situation. C. Anxious waiting. D. Boring moments. 6. Which of the following can best describe the old man? A. Kind and brave. B. Honest and helpful. C. Determined and curious. D. Open-minded and humorous. 7. How did the author’s wife react to his experience? A. She remembered the old days. B. She was greatly surprised. C. She couldn’t believe it. D. She thought little of it. C Fairs and theme parks never seem to lose their attraction. My kids love them as much as I do. Not everyone will agree with me though. My wife is terrified of anything more exciting than the merry-go-round. So why do I love Blackpool’s Big One while she goes white on hearing the word “rollercoaster(过山车)”？ According to psychologists, it comes down to something called a “Type T” personality. Type T’s are thrillseekers who welcome the uncertainty of activities that most people would find hairraising. It seems some of us enjoy the physical sensations associated with fear: the adrenaline(肾上腺素) rush and the beating heart. Scary rides make us feel alive. Terrifying experiences encourage a sense of excitement once we’re back on solid ground though we only enjoy them, experts say, when we’re within a “protective frame” that assures us that deep down, we’re still safe. Recent research has found certain genes(基因) which may be responsible for those of us with Type T personalities. Biochemists have separated a gene called DRD4 which seems more common in rollercoaster lovers like me. New technologies have allowed engineers to design coasters that change speeds quickly, shoot up hundreds of feet into the air and make all sorts of twists. Research suggests that extreme fairground rides tend to appeal particularly to those of us who lead stressful, structured or controlled lives. It’s certainly true that roller coasters are a way of breaking out of the humdrum(乏味的) expectations of everyday life. Theme parks allow us to act like children again, to experience true excitement and behave a little wildly. Where else as an adult can you scream at the top of your lungs and throw your arms in the air without being sent for psychological evaluation? If you’re looking for a great place this summer where you can get in touch with your inner risktaker, head for the nearest theme park. It’s a scream! 8. What can we learn about the author’s wife? A. She gets excited easily. B. She fears extreme rides. C. She loves Blackpool’s Big One. D. She rarely disagrees with the author. 9. What do people with Type T personalities tend to do? A. Put their lives at risk. B. Stay energetic all the time. C. Avoid the “protective frame”. D. Enjoy adventurous experiences. 10. What has recent research revealed about the Type T personality? A. It is genetically determined. B. It is common among people. C. It is caused by living separately. D. It is a result of a physical disorder. 11. What’s the main reason why the author appreciates extreme fairground rides? A. They help relieve stress. B. They are technologically designed. C. They contribute to parent kid relationships. D. They are a replacement for psychological evaluation. D Jason M. Allen was almost too nervous to enter his first art competition. Now, his award-winning image is stirring debates about whether art can be generated by a computer, and what, exactly, it means to be an artist. In August 2022, Allen, a 39-year-old game designer who lives in Pueblo West, Colorado, won first place in the “digital arts/digitally-operated photography” category at the Colorado State Fair Fine Arts Competition. His winning image, titled Théatre D’opéra Spatial, was made with Midjourney—an artificial intelligence system that can produce detailed images when fed written prompts (提示). Allen’s winning image looks like a bright cross between a classic and modern painting. It’s one of three such images he entered in the competition. Allen posted excitedly about his win on Midjourney’s Discord server on August 25, along with pictures of his three entries; it spread quickly on Twitter days later, with many artists feeling angry about Allen’s win because of his use of AI to create the image. “He just ‘pressed a few buttons to make a digital art piece’,” one Twitter user wrote. “We’re watching the death of art unfold before our eyes.” However, to get the final three images he entered in the competition, Allen said, he took over 80 hours. First, he played around with phrasing that led Midjourney to generate images of women in nice dresses and space helmets.

Jack’s father was a repairman who spent his days fixing cars, so his hands were always dirty. Jack’s father never said much, but his eyes always seemed to say, “I’m proud of you, son.” And Jack felt it in every nod. Their relationship was a quiet one, with an unspoken bond (纽带). One day, Jack came home from school with a flyer (传单) in his hand. His eyes were bright with excitement as he showed it to his father. “Dad, there’s a school talent show next month, and I want to enter. I’ve been learning guitar for months,” Jack said to his father. His father looked up from the engine he was working on. “You play the guitar?” he asked in surprise. Feeling a little embarrassed, Jack nodded, saying, “Yeah, I’ve been taking lessons. I think I’m ready.” His father cleaned his hands with a piece of cloth, looked at Jack and smiled, “I’ll be there, son. I wouldn’t miss it.” Through his father’s eyes, Jack knew he had his father’s support. The days leading up to the talent show were more practice and anxiety for Jack. He would come home after school and lock himself in his room, the sound of his guitar echoing (回响) through the house. His father didn’t speak too much, but he would prepare delicious food and smiled at Jack whenever he saw his son. He would also quietly listen to the music from the living room. Although Jack felt tired or nervous sometimes, he felt pushed forward by unspoken love. The day of the talent show arrived, and the school hall was filled with excitement. Jack’s hands were shaking as he prepared his guitar backstage. He looked out into the audience and found his father with a broad smile on his face. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As Jack stepped onto the stage, the lights dimmed (变暗) and the audience quieted down. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “I didn’t know you could play like that,” his father said. “You were great.” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
