As Jane Eyre says: “It is in vain to say human beings ought to be satisfied with tranquility: they must have action; and they will make it if they cannot find it.” Luckily here are some of the best adventure books, which might make the act of finding action easier for you! Click on the book name for detailed information. Jaws by Peter Benchley The 1974 book inspired Steven Spielberg’s blockbuster movie — which then made beach attendance drop dramatically in 1975. Jaws is the story of three men’s quest to kill a human-eating great white shark. It’s a high-stakes adventure on the sea, which holds more dangers than anyone could have ever imagined. Children of the Comet by Donald Moffitt In the far future, a small community lives in space and harvests frozen air to make a living. But what happens when hunters from neighboring comets — and humans on starships — appear on the scene? This is a cosmic adventure in a very literal sense, as our young hero, Torris, tries to survive on a comet made entirely of ice. Children of the Apes by Edgar Rice Burroughs This book launched the legend of an orphaned boy who is adopted by apes in the African jungle. Named Tarzan, the boy eventually has to prove himself on two fronts: the animal kingdom and the even more threatening world of humans. Raptor Red by Robert T. Bakker Unlike any other book out there, Raptor Red is told entirely from the third-person point of view of Raptor Red, a female Utahraptor. Robert T. Bakker, the author, expertly draws upon heartfelt research about the Cretaceous Period to bring a prehistoric Earth to life as Raptor Red struggles to survive in a dinosaur-eat-dinosaur world. 21. A fan of space exploration might be interested in . A. Jaws B. Children of the Comet C. Tarzan of the Apes D. Raptor Red 22. What is special about the book Raptor Red? A. It features dinosaurs. B. It was written by a female. C. It is told by its character. D. It is about the earth’s history. 23. Where is the text most likely to be found? A. On a Website. B. On a film poster. C. In the newspaper. D. In a novel. B Enya Vegnere, 19, left Joshua Henry, 25, speechless when she used her own bank card to pay for his food at a drive-through. In a video posted online by Joshua, Enya was filmed paying for his meal after he phoned his mum to ask if she wanted anything from McDonald’s. In the video, Joshua can be heard asking the worker, “So you’re gonna pay for my meal?” Enya replied, “Yeah, for your care about your mum.” Joshua didn’t expect to get a free meal, but it properly cheered him up after having a depressing day with the fact that he was at high risk of a job cut. Joshua got in touch later to express thanks. He said it made his week. Enya, who has worked at McDonald’s since January, is paid £7.25 per hour but has spent more than £ 50 on random acts of kindness to customers in secret for months. She often pays for a coffee here or a burger there when she feels people would appreciate it. Her colleagues were unaware of her generous gestures, but they always go out of their way for customers. Thus, she loves her work and work team, where everyone goes above and beyond. Some people do kind things with the expectation that they will get something back in return but that’s not Enya’s way. Her motto is “takers eat better but givers sleep better”. She doesn’t do it for recognition but thinks of it as nice things for people. Joshua had already paid forward the act of kindness. Later, he bought a meal for the person in front, who was also thankful and intended to pay it forward. It is seldom known what someone is going through and what a kind gesture could do. 24. Why did Enya pay for Joshua’s meal? A. Because Enya loved her job. B. Because Enya was being filmed. C. Because Joshua was polite to her. D. Because Joshua was considerate of his mum. 25. What does the underlined part in paragraph 2 mean? A. It helped him secure his job. B. It was beyond his expectation. C. It put smiles back on his face. D. It was an important week. 26 Which of the following can best describe Enya? A. Kind and confident. B. Polite and humorous. C. Selfless and intelligent. D. Warm-hearted and generous. 27. What can we learn from this text? A. Love has magic power. B. One should work down to earth. C. A friend in need is a friend indeed. D. Actions speak louder than words. C From childhood to adulthood, you go through a lot of changes — jobs, regrettable haircuts and relationships that come and go. But what about who you are? As you grow older, does your personality change? Personality is the pattern of thoughts, feelings and behaviors unique to a person. People always think of personality as fixed. But according to psychologists, that’s not how it works. “Personality is developing. It’s not just something that you’re stuck with and can’t get over,” said Brent Roberts, a psychologist at the University of Illinois. That’s not to say that you’re a different person each day you wake up. In the short term, change can be nearly impossible to see, Roberts told Live Science. Longitudinal studies, in which researchers survey the personalities of participants regularly over many years, suggest that our personality is actually stable in the short term. But those years add up, throughout which our personality is still changing, but slowly, Roberts said. “It’s something that’s unnoticeable,” he added. You don’t feel it on that five-to-10-year time period, but in the long term, it becomes obvious. In 1960, psychologists surveyed over 440,000 high school students — around 5% of all students in the country at that time. The students answered questions about everything from how they behaved in emotional situations to how well and effectively they got work done. Fifty years later, researchers tracked down 1,952 of these former students and gave them the same survey. The results found that in their 60s, participants scored much higher than they had as teenagers. Some people might change less than others, but in general, the maturity (成熟) principle goes for everyone. That makes personality change even harder to realize in ourselves — how your personality compares with that of your peers doesn’t change as much as our overall change in personality, because everyone else is changing right along with you. “It has been proved that the self-control of a 30-year-old is higher than a 20-year-old,” Donnellan said. “At the same time, people who are more self-controlled at 18 are also possibly more self-controlled at age 30.” 28. What does the writer think of personality? A. It changes obviously from day to day. B. It is fixed since you were born. C. It works when we meet difficulties. D. It is what makes you different from others. 29. What does the underlined word “stable” in paragraph 3 mean? A. not easily upset. B. not likely to change. C. easy to change. D. difficult to destroy. 30. How does the writer support his idea? A. By providing research results. B. By stating arguments. C. By explaining causes. D. By giving examples. 31. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Everyone Has a Unique Personality. B. We Grow Older but Change Less. C. Self-control Makes All the Difference. D. Our Personality Changes as We Get Older. D What does an outdoor cat do all day? A study of more than 900 house cats shows when they kill small birds and mammals, their influence is concentrated in a small area, having a bigger effect than wild predators (捕食性动物) do. Roland Kays, a scientist at North Carolina State University and his colleagues collected GPS data from cats in six countries. “These cats are moving around their own backyard and a couple of their neighbors’ backyards, but most of them are not ranging very much further,” Kays said. “So initially I thought, ‘Oh, this is good news. They’re not going out into the nature preserves. ’ ” Then Kays took how much wildlife cats kill in that small area into consideration. Some cats in the study were bringing home up to 11 dead birds a month, which doesn’t include what they ate or didn’t bring home. “It actually ends up being a really high rate of predation,” Kays said. He calculates that cats can have 4­to­10 times the influence of a wild predator. Native predators, like jungle cats, also kill a lot of small animals, but their influence is spread out over a larger area. One study indicates that house cats kill billions of birds every year. “The simplest thing to do is to keep your cat indoors,” Kays said. For those who refuse to keep their cats inside, there are potential(潜在的) options. St. Lawrence University’s associate professor Susan Willson looked for one. She found a special brightly colored collar online.“The whole idea is that the bird will be able to visually see the cat creeping (爬行) up on it before the cat attacks it,” she said. Willson tested the collar on both her cat and dozens of others. It greatly reduced the number of birds the cats brought home. “I’m not saying these collars can make a significant difference in the massive bird death that we’re seeing,” she said. “But what matters is that each individual bird that somebody finds in his backyard is not dead.” 32. Why does Kays say “this is good news” in Paragraph 2? A. House cats won’t kill birds in a large area. B. House cats are protected from wild predators. C. House cats can be tracked by GPS. D. House cats feel comfortable in their own backyard. 33. How do wild predators differ from house cats in terms of killing animals? A. They prefer to attack larger animals. B. They kill less than house cats on a monthly basis. C. They kill 4－10 times the number of house cats. D. Their victims(受害者) are distributed in a bigger range. 34. What can we infer from the passage? A. Willson considers keeping her cat inside a good idea. B. The colored collar can be a sign of potential danger to birds. C. The only way to protect birds is to keep them indoors. D. Birds can’t sense the danger when cats attack them. 35. Which word can best describe Willson’s attitude to using collars to save birds? A. Concerned. B. Positive. C. Doubtful. D. Indifferent. 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。 Though it’s been around for roughly 5,000 years, yoga is more popular today than ever.

But they had been really close. They had lunch together in the school cafeteria, they went to the same book club, and they even had parties in each other’s house several times. As a matter of fact, the two girls had quite different personalities. Sarah was always confident and straightforward. In comparison, Laura was a bit quiet, but she was definitely the sweetest person Sarah had known. On the first day of the new semester, Sarah couldn’t wait to meet Laura and tell her everything about her summer vacation. However, the moment she saw Laura enter the classroom, she was surprised. What could have happened to Laura? Why did she gain so much weight? Sarah knew it would be inappropriate if she raised the questions but she couldn’t resist the curiosity. “Since we are best friends, she knows I don’t mean any harm,” she thought. Thus, she asked, “Why did you get so fat?” The instant Sarah said it, she realized she had made a mistake. People standing by began to laugh and point. Poor Laura, apparently shocked and offended by the question, stood still, tears welling up in her eyes. When she came to herself, she ran out of the classroom. The next few days was very hard for Sarah. Whenever she reached out to Laura, Laura would walk away on purpose or pretended that she hadn’t seen Sarah. At first, Sarah was truly sorry for hurting Laura’s feelings. But as she tried several times in vain to make up with Laura, Sarah became angry. “Enough is enough,” she thought. However, Sarah couldn’t help feeling regretful because deep down she knew it was her fault. 注意:1. 续写词数应为150个左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 One day after school, Sarah stopped Laura. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Touched by Sarah’s sincere words, Laura was hesitant. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 红岭大鹏华侨中学2024－2025学年度第一学期期末考试 高二英语试卷 (说明:本试卷考试时间为120分钟,满分为150分) 注意事项：1、选择题部分请用2B铅笔把答题卷上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。 2、主观题部分请将答案写在答题卷上。写在本试卷上无效。 第一部分 单项选择 (共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分) 从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 1.

A. did she sit B. had she sat C. have she sat D. has she sat 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查固定句型和时态。句意：她刚一坐下就听见有人敲门。hardly…when…是固定句型，意为“一……就……”，该句型中主句常使用过去完成时，从句使用一般过去时，且当hardly置于句首时主句使用部分倒装。分析句子，空格处应使用过去完成时，且把助动词had提到主语she之前构成部分倒装，故选B。 15. I can hardly imagine that at this time next week I ________ in a completely new classroom, with new teachers and new classmates. A. will sit B. am going to sit C. am sitting D. will be sitting 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查动词时态。句意：我几乎无法想象下周的这个时候，我将坐在一个全新的教室里，与新老师和新同学在一起。根据时间状语“ at this time next week”可知，此处使用将来进行时，其基本构成形式是：will be doing。故选D。 16. His performance is________, which makes us ________ . A. entertained; pleasing B. entertained; pleased C. entertaining; pleased D. entertaining; pleasing 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查形容词词义辨析。句意：他的表演很有趣，使我们感到高兴。句中的一个空处需要形容词作表语，而第二空处需要形容词作宾语补足语。entertained为形容词“愉快的”，该形容词主要描述某人感到愉快、被逗乐的状态。entertaining为形容词“令人愉快的”，该形容词描述某事物本身具有娱乐性、有趣的特点。主句的主语为His performance，所以第一个空处需要entertaining，表示“他的表演很有趣”；pleased为形容词“高兴的”，该形容词描述某人感到满意、高兴的状态。pleasing为形容词“令人愉悦的”，该形容词描述某事物本身具有令人愉快、讨人喜欢的特点。此处补充说明us的状态，所以用pleased，表示“使我们感到高兴”。故选C。 17. —How amazing! I saw you appearing on the five o’clock news. —Oh that! The headmaster _______ and I happened to pass by in front of the camera. A. was being interviewed B. was interviewed C. had been interviewed D. was interviewing 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查时态和语态。句意：——太神奇了！我看到你出现在五点的新闻里了。——哦，那个啊！当时校长正在接受采访，我碰巧从镜头前经过。interview(采访)是谓语动词，与主语The headmaster之间是被动关系，结合语境和“I happened to pass by in front of the camera”可知，在“我”经过镜头时，校长正在被采访，强调过去某个时间正在进行的动作，用过去进行时的被动语态was being interviewed。故选A项。 18.

As Jane Eyre says: “It is in vain to say human beings ought to be satisfied with tranquility: they must have action; and they will make it if they cannot find it.” Luckily, here are some of the best adventure books, which might make the act of finding action easier for you! Click on the book name for detailed information. Jaws by Peter Benchley The 1974 book inspired Steven Spielberg’s blockbuster movie — which then made beach attendance drop dramatically in 1975. Jaws is the story of three men’s quest to kill a human-eating great white shark. It’s a high-stakes adventure on the sea, which holds more dangers than anyone could have ever imagined. Children of the Comet by Donald Moffitt In the far future, a small community lives in space and harvests frozen air to make a living. But what happens when hunters from neighboring comets — and humans on starships — appear on the scene? This is a cosmic adventure in a very literal sense, as our young hero, Torris, tries to survive on a comet made entirely of ice. Children of the Apes by Edgar Rice Burroughs This book launched the legend of an orphaned boy who is adopted by apes in the African jungle. Named Tarzan, the boy eventually has to prove himself on two fronts: the animal kingdom and the even more threatening world of humans. Raptor Red by Robert T. Bakker Unlike any other book out there, Raptor Red is told entirely from the third-person point of view of Raptor Red, a female Utahraptor. Robert T. Bakker, the author, expertly draws upon heartfelt research about the Cretaceous Period to bring a prehistoric Earth to life as Raptor Red struggles to survive in a dinosaur-eat-dinosaur world. 21. A fan of space exploration might be interested in . A. Jaws B. Children of the Comet C. Tarzan of the Apes D. Raptor Red 22. What is special about the book Raptor Red? A. It features dinosaurs. B. It was written by a female. C. It is told by its character. D. It is about the earth’s history. 23. Where is the text most likely to be found? A. On a Website. B. On a film poster. C. In the newspaper. D. In a novel. 【答案】21. B 22. C 23. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇应用文。主要给读者介绍一些最好的冒险书。 【21题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二本书Children of the Comet的介绍 “This is a cosmic adventure in a very literal sense, as our young hero, Torris, tries to survive on a comet made entirely of ice.(从字面上来说，这是一次宇宙冒险，因为我们的主人翁Torris试图在一颗完全由冰组成的彗星上生存)”可知，喜欢太空探索的人会对Children of the Comet这本书感兴趣。故选B。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一本书Raptor Red by Robert T. Bakker的介绍“Unlike any other book out there, Raptor Red is told entirely from the third-person point of view of Raptor Red, a female Utahraptor.(不像这里介绍的其他的书，Raptor Red完全是从第三人称——一只雌性犹他恐龙的角度来讲述的)”可知，这本书的特别之处在于它是由书中的角色讲述的。故选C。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Click on the book name for detailed information.(点击这本书的名字以获得详细信息)”可知，这篇文章很有可能来自网络。故选A。 B Enya Vegnere, 19, left Joshua Henry, 25, speechless when she used her own bank card to pay for his food at a drive-through. In a video posted online by Joshua, Enya was filmed paying for his meal after he phoned his mum to ask if she wanted anything from McDonald’s. In the video, Joshua can be heard asking the worker, “So you’re gonna pay for my meal?” Enya replied, “Yeah, for your care about your mum.” Joshua didn’t expect to get a free meal, but it properly cheered him up after having a depressing day with the fact that he was at high risk of a job cut. Joshua got in touch later to express thanks. He said it made his week. Enya, who has worked at McDonald’s since January, is paid £7.25 per hour but has spent more than £ 50 on random acts of kindness to customers in secret for months. She often pays for a coffee here or a burger there when she feels people would appreciate it. Her colleagues were unaware of her generous gestures, but they always go out of their way for customers. Thus, she loves her work and work team, where everyone goes above and beyond. Some people do kind things with the expectation that they will get something back in return but that’s not Enya’s way. Her motto is “takers eat better but givers sleep better”. She doesn’t do it for recognition but thinks of it as nice things for people. Joshua had already paid forward the act of kindness. Later, he bought a meal for the person in front, who was also thankful and intended to pay it forward. It is seldom known what someone is going through and what a kind gesture could do. 24. Why did Enya pay for Joshua’s meal? A. Because Enya loved her job. B. Because Enya was being filmed. C. Because Joshua was polite to her. D. Because Joshua was considerate of his mum. 25. What does the underlined part in paragraph 2 mean? A. It helped him secure his job. B. It was beyond his expectation. C. It put smiles back on his face. D. It was an important week. 26. Which of the following can best describe Enya? A. Kind and confident. B. Polite and humorous. C. Selfless and intelligent. D. Warm-hearted and generous. 27. What can we learn from this text? A. Love has magic power. B. One should work down to earth. C. A friend in need is a friend indeed. D. Actions speak louder than words. 【答案】24. D 25. C 26. D 27. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Enya帮助Joshua付餐费，这一善意的举动让Joshua从沮丧中重新振作起来。通过这个故事告诉我们一个善意的、充满爱的举动可能对别人是有巨大帮助的。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段关键句“In the video, Joshua can be heard asking the worker, “So you’re gonna pay for my meal?” Enya replied, “Yeah, for your care about your mum.””（在视频中，可以听到Joshua问工作人员，“那么你要付我的饭钱吗？”Enya回答说：“是的，因为你关心你的妈妈。”）可知，Enya要为Joshua付饭钱是因为Joshua很体贴妈妈，上文也提到了，他打电话给妈妈，问她是否需要麦当劳的东西。故选D项。 【25题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第二段关键句“Joshua didn’t expect to get a free meal, but it properly cheered him up after having a depressing day with the fact that he was at high risk of a job cut.”（Joshua没想到能得到免费的一餐，但这让他在经历了沮丧的一天后振作起来，事实上他面临着裁员的高风险。）可知，对于Joshua来说，这本来是沮丧的一天，但由于Enya善意的举动，他又振作起来了。由此可推断出，画线部分意“让他振作”。“It put smiles back on his face.”意为“这使他的脸上恢复了笑容。”符合语境，表现了他当时的心情。故选C项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段关键句“Enya, who has worked at McDonald’s since January, is paid £7.25 per hour but has spent more than £ 50 on random acts of kindness to customers in secret for months.”（Enya从今年1月开始在麦当劳工作，每小时工资为7.25英镑，但数月来，秘密地为顾客随机行善花费了50多英镑。）可知，Enya赚的不多，但却花费很多钱在善举上，由此可推断出她是慷慨的人。根据倒数第二段关键句“She doesn’t do it for recognition but thinks of it as nice things for people.”（她这样做不是为了得到认可，而是认为这对人们是好事。）可知，她做好事并不是希望得到别人的认可，而是单纯的想帮助别人，有此可推断出，她是个热心的人。“Warm-hearted and generous.”意为“热心的和慷慨的”，符合对Enya的描述。故选D项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章内容及最后一段句子“It is seldom known what someone is going through and what a kind gesture could do.”（很少有人知道一个人在经历什么，一个善意的举动能做什么。）可知，文章主要讲述了Enya帮助Joshua付餐费，这一善意的举动让Joshua从沮丧中重新振作起来，通过这个故事告诉我们一个善意的、充满爱的举动可能对别人是有巨大帮助的。“Love has magic power.”意为“爱有魔力。”符合文章所要阐述的道理。故选A项。 C From childhood to adulthood, you go through a lot of changes — jobs, regrettable haircuts and relationships that come and go. But what about who you are? As you grow older, does your personality change? Personality is the pattern of thoughts, feelings and behaviors unique to a person. People always think of personality as fixed. But according to psychologists, that’s not how it works. “Personality is developing. It’s not just something that you’re stuck with and can’t get over,” said Brent Roberts, a psychologist at the University of Illinois. That’s not to say that you’re a different person each day you wake up. In the short term, change can be nearly impossible to see, Roberts told Live Science. Longitudinal studies, in which researchers survey the personalities of participants regularly over many years, suggest that our personality is actually stable in the short term. But those years add up, throughout which our personality is still changing, but slowly, Roberts said. “It’s something that’s unnoticeable,” he added. You don’t feel it on that five-to-10-year time period, but in the long term, it becomes obvious. In 1960, psychologists surveyed over 440,000 high school students — around 5% of all students in the country at that time. The students answered questions about everything from how they behaved in emotional situations to how well and effectively they got work done. Fifty years later, researchers tracked down 1,952 of these former students and gave them the same survey. The results found that in their 60s, participants scored much higher than they had as teenagers. Some people might change less than others, but in general, the maturity (成熟) principle goes for everyone. That makes personality change even harder to realize in ourselves — how your personality compares with that of your peers doesn’t change as much as our overall change in personality, because everyone else is changing right along with you. “It has been proved that the self-control of a 30-year-old is higher than a 20-year-old,” Donnellan said. “At the same time, people who are more self-controlled at 18 are also possibly more self-controlled at age 30.” 28. What does the writer think of personality? A. It changes obviously from day to day. B. It is fixed since you were born. C. It works when we meet difficulties. D. It is what makes you different from others. 29. What does the underlined word “stable” in paragraph 3 mean? A. not easily upset. B. not likely to change. C. easy to change. D. difficult to destroy. 30. How does the writer support his idea? A. By providing research results. B. By stating arguments. C. By explaining causes. D. By giving examples. 31. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Everyone Has a Unique Personality. B. We Grow Older but Change Less. C. Self-control Makes All the Difference. D. Our Personality Changes as We Get Older. 【答案】28. D 29. B 30. A 31. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。在文中作者通过一些专业人员的研究成果证明随着年龄的增长一个人的性格也是变化的。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Personality is the pattern of thoughts, feelings and behaviors unique to a person.(个性是一个人所特有的思想、感情和行为模式)”可知，作者认为“personality”使一个人不同于别人。unique to a person与different from others意思相近。故选D项。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“In the short term, change can be nearly impossible to see, Roberts told Live Science.(罗伯茨告诉《生活科学》杂志，在短期内，几乎不可能看到变化)”可知，短期来看，一个人的性格变化是几乎看不出来的，由此推测，stable的意思是“没什么变化的，稳定的”，这里指短期内，一个人的性格使没有很大变化的。故选B项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“But according to psychologists, that’s not how it works. “Personality is developing. It’s not just something that you’re stuck with and can’t get over,” said Brent Roberts, a psychologist at the University of Illinois. (但心理学家认为，事实并非如此。‘个性在发展。这不仅仅是你无法摆脱的事情，’伊利诺伊大学的心理学家Brent Roberts说)”及第三段中“Longitudinal studies, in which researchers survey the personalities of participants regularly over many years, suggest that our personality is actually stable in the short term.(在纵向研究中，研究人员多年来定期调查参与者的性格，结果表明我们的性格在短期内实际上是稳定的)”及第四段中“In 1960, psychologists surveyed over 440,000 high school students…(1960年，心理学家调查了44万多名高中生)”和“Fifty years later, researchers tracked down 1,952 of these former students and gave them the same survey. The results found that in their 60s, participants scored much higher than they had as teenagers.(50年后，研究人员找到1952名曾经的学生，对他们进行了同样的调查。结果发现，参与者在60多岁时的得分远高于青少年时期)”可知，作者是通过提供相关研究成果来支持自己的论点的。故选A项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“From childhood to adulthood, you go through a lot of changes — jobs, regrettable haircuts and relationships that come and go. But what about who you are? As you grow older, does your personality change?(从童年到成年，你经历了很多变化——工作、令你后悔的发型和来来去去的关系。但你是谁呢？随着年龄的增长，你的性格会改变吗？)”及第四段“But those years add up, throughout which our personality is still changing, but slowly(但随着时间的推移，我们的性格仍在发生变化，但变化缓慢)”可知，本文的主题是随着年龄的增长，一个人性格也是变化的。故选D项。 D What does an outdoor cat do all day? A study of more than 900 house cats shows when they kill small birds and mammals, their influence is concentrated in a small area, having a bigger effect than wild predators (捕食性动物) do. Roland Kays, a scientist at North Carolina State University and his colleagues collected GPS data from cats in six countries. “These cats are moving around their own backyard and a couple of their neighbors’ backyards, but most of them are not ranging very much further,” Kays said. “So initially I thought, ‘Oh, this is good news. They’re not going out into the nature preserves. ’ ” Then Kays took how much wildlife cats kill in that small area into consideration. Some cats in the study were bringing home up to 11 dead birds a month, which doesn’t include what they ate or didn’t bring home. “It actually ends up being a really high rate of predation,” Kays said. He calculates that cats can have 4­to­10 times the influence of a wild predator. Native predators, like jungle cats, also kill a lot of small animals, but their influence is spread out over a larger area. One study indicates that house cats kill billions of birds every year. “The simplest thing to do is to keep your cat indoors,” Kays said. For those who refuse to keep their cats inside, there are potential(潜在的) options. St. Lawrence University’s associate professor Susan Willson looked for one. She found a special brightly colored collar online.“The whole idea is that the bird will be able to visually see the cat creeping (爬行) up on it before the cat attacks it,” she said. Willson tested the collar on both her cat and dozens of others. It greatly reduced the number of birds the cats brought home. “I’m not saying these collars can make a significant difference in the massive bird death that we’re seeing,” she said. “But what matters is that each individual bird that somebody finds in his backyard is not dead.” 32. Why does Kays say “this is good news” in Paragraph 2? A. House cats won’t kill birds in a large area. B. House cats are protected from wild predators. C. House cats can be tracked by GPS. D. House cats feel comfortable in their own backyard. 33. How do wild predators differ from house cats in terms of killing animals? A. They prefer to attack larger animals. B. They kill less than house cats on a monthly basis. C. They kill 4－10 times the number of house cats. D. Their victims(受害者) are distributed in a bigger range. 34. What can we infer from the passage? A. Willson considers keeping her cat inside a good idea. B. The colored collar can be a sign of potential danger to birds. C The only way to protect birds is to keep them indoors. D. Birds can’t sense the danger when cats attack them. 35. Which word can best describe Willson’s attitude to using collars to save birds? A. Concerned. B. Positive. C. Doubtful. D. Indifferent. 【答案】32. A 33. D 34. B 35. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要介绍了家猫对小型鸟类和哺乳动物的捕杀情况。研究表明家猫捕杀范围集中在小区域，捕杀率高，科学家建议将猫养在室内，对于不愿这样做的人，有特殊彩色项圈可减少猫捕杀鸟类的数量。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段““These cats are moving around their own backyard and a couple of their neighbors’ backyards, but most of them are not ranging very much further,” Kays said. “So initially I thought, “Oh, this is good news. They’re not going out into the nature preserves.”’(“这些猫在自家后院和几个邻居的后院活动，但大多数猫不会跑得更远，”凯斯说。“所以一开始我想，“哦，这是个好消息。它们不会进入自然保护区。””)”可知，凯斯说“这是个好消息” 是因为家猫不会在大片区域捕杀鸟类，故选A项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Native predators, like jungle cats, also kill a lot of small animals, but their influence is spread out over a larger area.(本地的捕食者，如丛林猫，也会捕杀很多小动物，但它们的影响范围更广)”可知，野生捕食者与家猫在捕杀动物方面的不同在于，野生捕食者捕杀的猎物分布范围更大，故选D项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“She found a special brightly colored collar online. “The whole idea is that the bird will be able to visually see the cat creeping up on it before the cat attacks it,” she said.(她在网上发现了一种特殊的亮色项圈。“整个想法是，在猫攻击之前，鸟能从视觉上看到猫向它悄悄靠近，”她说。)”可知，彩色项圈能让鸟提前感知到危险，所以可以推断彩色项圈对鸟来说是潜在危险的标志，故选B项。 35题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文倒数第二段“Willson tested the collar on both her cat and dozens of others. It greatly reduced the number of birds the cats brought home.(威尔森在自己的猫和其他几十只猫身上测试了这种项圈。这大大减少了猫带回家的鸟的数量)”可知，威尔森测试项圈后发现其能减少猫捕杀鸟的数量，所以可以推断她对使用项圈拯救鸟类持积极态度，故选B项。 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。 Though it’s been around for roughly 5,000 years, yoga is more popular today than ever.

But they had been really close. They had lunch together in the school cafeteria, they went to the same book club, and they even had parties in each other’s house several times. As a matter of fact, the two girls had quite different personalities. Sarah was always confident and straightforward. In comparison, Laura was a bit quiet, but she was definitely the sweetest person Sarah had known. On the first day of the new semester, Sarah couldn’t wait to meet Laura and tell her everything about her summer vacation. However, the moment she saw Laura enter the classroom, she was surprised. What could have happened to Laura? Why did she gain so much weight? Sarah knew it would be inappropriate if she raised the questions but she couldn’t resist the curiosity. “Since we are best friends, she knows I don’t mean any harm,” she thought. Thus, she asked, “Why did you get so fat?” The instant Sarah said it, she realized she had made a mistake. People standing by began to laugh and point. Poor Laura, apparently shocked and offended by the question, stood still, tears welling up in her eyes. When she came to herself, she ran out of the classroom. The next few days was very hard for Sarah. Whenever she reached out to Laura, Laura would walk away on purpose or pretended that she hadn’t seen Sarah. At first, Sarah was truly sorry for hurting Laura’s feelings. But as she tried several times in vain to make up with Laura, Sarah became angry. “Enough is enough,” she thought. However, Sarah couldn’t help feeling regretful because deep down she knew it was her fault. 注意:1. 续写词数应为150个左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 One day after school, Sarah stopped Laura. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Touched by Sarah’s sincere words, Laura was hesitant. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 One day after school, Sarah stopped Laura.

I’m here for you whenever you’re ready to talk.” Touched by Sarah’s sincere words, Laura was hesitant. She still felt hurt and embarrassed by what happened, but deep down she knew that Sarah was truly sorry, and their friendship meant too much to her to let it go. “Sarah, I appreciate your apology, and I’m willing to try to move forward,” Laura said, her voice soft but firm.
