广州中学2020年少年部8B开学考 一. 语法选择（15分） Like every language, American English is full of special expressions, phrases that come from the day-to-day life of the people and develop in their own way. Our expression today is “to face the music”. When someone says, “well, I guess I’ll have to face the music,” it does not mean he’s planning ____1____ to the concert. It is something far ____2____, like being called in by your boss to explain ____3____ you did this and did that, and didn’t do this or that. Sour music indeed, but it has to be faced.

And ____10____ actor might be frightened or nervous ____11____ he moved on to the stage in front of an audience that might be friendly or perhaps hostile, particularly if he forgot his lines. But he had to go out. If he did not, there would be no play. ____12____ the expression “to face the music” comes to mean ____13____ to go through something, no matter how unpleasant the experience might be, because you knew you had no choice. ____14____ explanations about the expression go back to the army. When the men faced an inspection by their leader, the soldiers would be worried about how well they looked. Was their equipment ____15____ to pass the inspection?

She stopped at a traffic light, where a man was sitting with a sign asking for help. She rolled down her window and asked if he wanted a free ____16____ right now. The man accepted the offer. Then Steller loaded a red chair from her car. The man took a ____17____ and shared his life story while Steller was trimming (修剪) his curly graying hair. Until now, Steller had given 30 or so such haircuts to people around the city. These clients are all living a poor life, and she is keenly aware of the ____18____ of her cleanup job. For her, it’s more than a haircut. She wants it to be a gateway not only to show value and respect but also to get to know people. Steller knows that a haircut can ____19____ a life. And it did happen to her. As a teen, she suffered from a bowel (肠道) disease which was so serious that her hair thinned quickly. She was very ____20____ and afraid to go out. Seeing this, her mother arranged for her first professional haircut. Sitting down and having somebody look at her and talk to her like a person and not just an illness made her feel cared about and less ____21____. After that, Steller knew she wanted to have her own salon so she could help people feel the way she’d felt that day. Not long after finishing cosmetology (美容) school, she ____22____ to begin what she now calls her Red Chair Project, reaching out to people in need on the streets. Although she can’t fix their problems, Steller believes she can help them feel less alone for a moment. Steller listens to people’s stories of loss, addiction, and struggle to get back on their feet. The ____23____ obviously works. When she was cutting a woman’s hair one day, someone drove by and shouted, “You look amazing!” Hearing this, the woman in the chair cried ____24____, “I’m not invisible! I thought I was invisible.

I was in the classrooms, but I wasn’t there to learn to write, read or even speak. When it was my turn to read, I wanted to hide. I was 13 years old, but I already hated being who I was. I had an English teacher, Mr. Creech, who knew I couldn’t read. In one of my first lessons the teacher said that anyone who had a reading age below six had to stand up. I felt so embarrassed. But at the same time, it made me realize that I needed to change the situation. I was determined it wouldn’t happen again. Later that day, Mr. Creech encouraged me and promised he would try his best to help me learn to read. From then on, I never gave up practicing reading. Now I was 41 years old. One day, I planned to fly back to Texas to visit my friend and family. On my way from the airport, I saw Mr. Creech buying himself a drink. I rushed over and reached into my pocket to pay for him. “Do I know you?” he asked. “yes, sir, you do know me,” I answered excitedly. “My name is Anthony Hamilton. You taught me English.” The look on his face told me that he remembered the boy he’d once encouraged. “I’m so glad I had a chance to see you,” I said. “And Mr. Creech, I have great news to share.” I told him I had learned to read. But that wasn’t all. I had become a published author and an active speaker. “The next time you get another Anthony Hamilton in your classroom, please encourage him to read as well,” I added. The experts say what once worried me has a name: dyslexia (诵读困难症). But I can tell you it was a lack of desire for education. 26. Why did the author want to hide? A. Because he hated being laughed at. B. Because he didn’t have a ticket. C. Because he felt sorry for himself. D. Because he couldn’t read at all. 27. Which of the following could best describe Mr. Creech? A. Demanding and enthusiastic. B. Friendly and ambitious. C. Emotional and dedicated. D. Considerate and dutiful. 28 Why couldn’t the author read before meeting Mr. Creech? A. Because his parents didn’t teach him how to read. B. Because he was afraid of reading before the class. C. Because he didn’t have inner driving force to learn to read. D. Because his reading age was not long enough. 29. What can we infer from the passage? A. Mr. Creech taught two students called Anthony Hamilton. B. The author had become a publisher author and an active speaker. C. Dyslexia was the underlying reason that made the author unable to read. D. The author was grateful to Mr. Creech.

The terrible destruction causes a sudden sharp pain to people around the world. On Chinese social media network Wechat a common comment on the disaster is: “What a pity that we cannot see the damaged parts of the wonder anymore.” But the good news is that there is at least one way of seeing them, namely via a video game called Assassin’s Creed: Unity. In this game, the player can travel to one city after another and enter the buildings exactly like what they are in reality, and see Notre Dame as it was before the fire. Further, with virtual reality technology, which is already quite nature, one can even look around the undamaged Notre Dame as if it is still there. Maybe digital technology could help to better protect architectural cultural heritage. The idea of digitizing ancient buildings, making digital models of them so their data can be saved, dates back to the 1990s and the necessary technology has continued to advance since then. By scanning the ancient buildings with lasers, building 3D models with multiple images, as well as measuring everything precisely, engineers can make a copy as accurate as the real one. As computers and smartphones are hugely popular, the digital replica (复制品) has great use value. First, it allows tourists to feel the cultural relics without touching them, which helps protect them. The virtual tour of Dunhuang Grottoes in Gansu Province is a good example of this as tourists can view the paintings without standing near them. Furthermore, it can make the digitized cultural relics more famous by spreading awareness about them via the Internet. In 2000, a virtual tour of the Great Wall became very popular at the Hannover World Expo, which increased the number of foreign tourists visiting the site in the following years. Above all, it preserves all the information of the cultural relics. Even if the original ones are damaged one day, people can still know what they were like and can build a replica if desired. Of course, however precise a model is, it is not the original. Time is the biggest threat to a country’s architectural heritage, which will always become ruins with the passing of the time. Maybe we will have better technologies in the future, but the digital technology offers a practical way to preserve architectural heritage at the moment. 35. What can we see about Notre Dame in the game? A. The damaged parts. B. The big fire. C. Its wooden shape. D. Its original look. 36. What will engineers do to create a digital replica of the ancient buildings? A. Improve the technology needed. B. Scan the photos of the buildings. C. Measure all the parts exactly. D. Build 3D models of full size. 37. What value does a digital replica have? A. It keeps the relics safe. B. It advertises the history of the relics. C. It helps to guard the relics. D. It gathers data of the relics. 38. How does the author prove the digital copy has vital practical importance? A. By comparison. B. By listing data. C. By giving examples. D. By classification. 39. What is the author’s attitude towards the application of digital technology? A. Doubtful. B. Conservative. C. Delighted. D. Supportive. (D) Chinese Culture Shown to the World with Love Li Ziqi, a short video blogger specializing in traditional Chinese cooking and handicrafts, has gained worldwide popularity. Li has about 20 million followers on Sina Weibo, China’s equivalent to Twitter, plus 7 million followers on overseas social media networks. Many foreigners say they have got to know traditional Chinese food culture via her channel. It is the spirit of craftsmanship (技艺) behind traditional steps and procedures in making traditional Chinese food and handicrafts, such as peach flower wine and silk, and goes to great lengths to ensure her videos are accurate. Sometimes she spends several months producing one of her videos. Li has been inheriting (继承) traditional Chinese culture in a rather creative way. A closer look at her videos will show that they are never with any “analysis” that makes people feel bored. They just show audiences each and every detail of traditional Chinese culture so that the latter knows how Chinese live their beautiful and elegant lives. It is that universal appeal that makes her works so attractive. Thanks to Li’s efforts, many intangible cultural heritages that only existed in memories and written records now appear before our eyes. Via her short videos, Li presents the image of a beautiful and friendly China. With the growth of the Chinese economy, people overseas are showing more interest in traditional Chinese culture. Li has shown how to satisfy that interest in a good way, namely showing the best parts of traditional Chinese culture with her heart. To effectively present the beauty of Chinese culture to the world, we need more Li Ziqi. 40. What can we learn about Li Ziqi’s video clips? A. They are based on her family’s recipes of making traditional Chinese food. B. They aim to introduce traditional Chinese food culture and handcrafts worldwide. C. They attract a large number of foreigners to visit her online shop. D. They promote the sales of Chinese food and handcrafts. 41. What is Li Ziqi good at? A. Cutting. B. Puppet show. C. Fishing. D.

Li makes sure all of her video clips are short enough to be downloaded. C. Details and accuracy play significant roles in the success of Li’s videos. D.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了“to face the music”这句话在美国人日常生活中衍生出来的含义，并解释了这个含义的由来。 【1题详解】 句意：当有人说：“well, I guess I’ll have to face the music,”这并不意味着他打算去听音乐会。 go动词原形；going动名词；went动词过去式；to go动词不定式。plan to do sth“打算做某事”，动词不定式作宾语，故选D。 【2题详解】 句意：这是一种不那么令人愉快的事情，就像被你的老板叫去解释为什么你做了这个，做了那个，为什么没做这个或那个。 unpleasant不愉快的，形容词原级；less pleasant较不愉快的，形容词比较级；more pleasant更愉快的，形容词比较级；pleasant令人愉快的，形容词原级。far修饰比较级，排除A和D选项。根据“like being called in by your boss to explain”可知，被老板去解释某一件事是不那么令人愉快的，故选B。 【3题详解】 句意：这是一种不那么令人愉快的事情，就像被你的老板叫去解释为什么你做了这个，做了那个，为什么没做这个或那个。 what什么；why为什么；when何时；how怎样。根据“like being called in by your boss to explain”可知，解释为什么这么做的原因，故选B。 【4题详解】 句意：有时，我们每个人都不得不面对现实，尤其是作为孩子。 specially特别地；especially尤其；especial特殊的；special特别的。根据“every one of us has had to face the music, … as children”可知，此处是起强调作用，尤其是孩子，故选B。 【5题详解】 句意：我们都记得父亲生气的声音，“我想和你谈谈，”仅仅是因为我们没有服从他。 voice声音（人的声音）；voices声音，复数形式；noise噪音；sound声音。根据“father’s angry”可知，此处指人的声音，不可数名词，故选A。 6题详解】 句意：无论老少，美国人都知道“面对现实”这句话。 at在；about关于；of……的；to到。be known to“为……所知”，故选D。 【7题详解】 句意：它至少有一百年的历史了。 hundreds of数以百计的；hundreds数百；a hundred一百；hundred百。此处要表达它至少有一百年的历史了，故选C。 【8题详解】 句意：他说，1851年，演员们在候补上台时首次使用了这个表达。 used动词过去式/过去分词；is used一般现在时被动语态；was used一般过去时被动语态；had used过去完成时。根据“by actors”可知，此处用被动语态结构，结合时间状语“in 1851”可知，此处用一般过去时被动语态，故选C。 【9题详解】 句意：这正是他们所做的——面对着正下方的乐队。 which哪一个；what什么；who谁；/不填。先行词orchestra指物，在从句中作主语，用which引导定语从句，故选A。 【10题详解】 句意：当一个演员在一群观众面前上台时，他可能会感到害怕或紧张，这些观众可能是友好的，也可能是敌对的，特别是当他忘记台词的时候。 the定冠词；a一个，用于以辅音音素开头的；an一个，用于以元音音素开头的；/不填。此处表示“一个演员”，表泛指，且actor是以元音音素开头的，故选C。 【11题详解】 句意：当一个演员在一群观众面前上台时，他可能会感到害怕或紧张，这些观众可能是友好的，也可能是敌对的，特别是当他忘记台词的时候。 as当……时；though尽管；after在……之后；before在……之前。根据“actor might be frightened or nervous … he moved on to the stage in front of an audience”可知，在一群观众面前上台时会感到紧张，故选A。 【12题详解】 句意：所以“to face the music”这个表达的意思是，无论经历多么不愉快，你都必须要经历一些事情，因为你知道你别无选择。 So因此；Or或者；But但是；However然而。根据“... particularly if he forgot his lines. But he had to go out. If he did not, there would be no play.”可知，有些场合是不得不面对的，与“face the music”这个表达的意思是，无论经历多么不愉快，你都必须要经历一些事情，因为你知道你别无选择，前后两个分句间是因果关系，故选A。 【13题详解】 句意：所以“to face the music”这个表达的意思是，无论经历多么不愉快，你都必须要经历一些事情，因为你知道你别无选择。 to have动词不定式；had动词过去式；having动名词；have动词原形。mean doing sth“意味着做某事”符合题意，故选C。 【14题详解】 句意：关于这个表达的其他解释可以追溯到军队。 Another另一个（三者以上）；Other其他的，后接复数名词；Others其他的人或物；The other另一个（两者之间）。此空后接复数名词，other+复数名词“其他的……”，故选B。 【15题详解】 句意：他们的设备亮得足以通过检查吗？ enough shiny错误搭配；too shiny太亮的；shiny enough足够亮的；so shiny如此亮的。根据“When the men faced an inspection by their leader, the soldiers would be worried about how well they looked. Was their equipment ... to pass the inspection?”可知，当领导视察时，士兵担心他们的设备是否亮得足以通过检查。又be+形容词+enough to do sth“足够……做某事”为固定搭配，故选C。 二. 完型填空（每个1.5分，共15分） Last summer, Katie Steller pulled off the freeway on her way to work in Minneapolis. She stopped at a traffic light, where a man was sitting with a sign asking for help. She rolled down her window and asked if he wanted a free ____16____ right now. The man accepted the offer. Then Steller loaded a red chair from her car. The man took a ____17____ and shared his life story while Steller was trimming (修剪) his curly graying hair. Until now, Steller had given 30 or so such haircuts to people around the city. These clients are all living a poor life, and she is keenly aware of the ____18____ of her cleanup job. For her, it’s more than a haircut. She wants it to be a gateway not only to show value and respect but also to get to know people. Steller knows that a haircut can ____19____ a life. And it did happen to her. As a teen, she suffered from a bowel (肠道) disease which was so serious that her hair thinned quickly. She was very ____20____ and afraid to go out. Seeing this, her mother arranged for her first professional haircut. Sitting down and having somebody look at her and talk to her like a person and not just an illness made her feel cared about and less ____21____. After that, Steller knew she wanted to have her own salon so she could help people feel the way she’d felt that day. Not long after finishing cosmetology (美容) school, she ____22____ to begin what she now calls her Red Chair Project, reaching out to people in need on the streets.

I was in the classrooms, but I wasn’t there to learn to write, read or even speak. When it was my turn to read, I wanted to hide. I was 13 years old, but I already hated being who I was. I had an English teacher, Mr. Creech, who knew I couldn’t read. In one of my first lessons the teacher said that anyone who had a reading age below six had to stand up. I felt so embarrassed. But at the same time, it made me realize that I needed to change the situation. I was determined it wouldn’t happen again. Later that day, Mr. Creech encouraged me and promised he would try his best to help me learn to read. From then on, I never gave up practicing reading. Now I was 41 years old. One day, I planned to fly back to Texas to visit my friend and family. On my way from the airport, I saw Mr. Creech buying himself a drink. I rushed over and reached into my pocket to pay for him. “Do I know you?” he asked. “yes, sir, you do know me,” I answered excitedly. “My name is Anthony Hamilton. You taught me English.” The look on his face told me that he remembered the boy he’d once encouraged. “I’m so glad I had a chance to see you,” I said. “And Mr. Creech, I have great news to share.” I told him I had learned to read. But that wasn’t all. I had become a published author and an active speaker. “The next time you get another Anthony Hamilton in your classroom, please encourage him to read as well,” I added. The experts say what once worried me has a name: dyslexia (诵读困难症). But I can tell you it was a lack of desire for education. 26. Why did the author want to hide? A. Because he hated being laughed at. B. Because he didn’t have a ticket. C. Because he felt sorry for himself. D. Because he couldn’t read at all. 27. Which of the following could best describe Mr. Creech? A. Demanding and enthusiastic. B. Friendly and ambitious. C. Emotional and dedicated. D. Considerate and dutiful. 28. Why couldn’t the author read before meeting Mr. Creech? A. Because his parents didn’t teach him how to read. B. Because he was afraid of reading before the class. C. Because he didn’t have inner driving force to learn to read. D. Because his reading age was not long enough. 29. What can we infer from the passage? A. Mr. Creech taught two students called Anthony Hamilton. B. The author had become a publisher author and an active speaker. C. Dyslexia was the underlying reason that made the author unable to read. D. The author was grateful to Mr. Creech. 【答案】26. D 27. D 28. C 29.

The terrible destruction causes a sudden sharp pain to people around the world. On Chinese social media network Wechat a common comment on the disaster is: “What a pity that we cannot see the damaged parts of the wonder anymore.” But the good news is that there is at least one way of seeing them, namely via a video game called Assassin’s Creed: Unity. In this game, the player can travel to one city after another and enter the buildings exactly like what they are in reality, and see Notre Dame as it was before the fire. Further, with virtual reality technology, which is already quite nature, one can even look around the undamaged Notre Dame as if it is still there. Maybe digital technology could help to better protect architectural cultural heritage. The idea of digitizing ancient buildings, making digital models of them so their data can be saved, dates back to the 1990s and the necessary technology has continued to advance since then. By scanning the ancient buildings with lasers, building 3D models with multiple images, as well as measuring everything precisely, engineers can make a copy as accurate as the real one. As computers and smartphones are hugely popular, the digital replica (复制品) has great use value. First, it allows tourists to feel the cultural relics without touching them, which helps protect them. The virtual tour of Dunhuang Grottoes in Gansu Province is a good example of this as tourists can view the paintings without standing near them. Furthermore, it can make the digitized cultural relics more famous by spreading awareness about them via the Internet. In 2000, a virtual tour of the Great Wall became very popular at the Hannover World Expo, which increased the number of foreign tourists visiting the site in the following years. Above all, it preserves all the information of the cultural relics. Even if the original ones are damaged one day, people can still know what they were like and can build a replica if desired. Of course, however precise a model is, it is not the original. Time is the biggest threat to a country’s architectural heritage, which will always become ruins with the passing of the time. Maybe we will have better technologies in the future, but the digital technology offers a practical way to preserve architectural heritage at the moment. 35. What can we see about Notre Dame in the game? A. The damaged parts. B. The big fire. C. Its wooden shape. D. Its original look. 36. What will engineers do to create a digital replica of the ancient buildings? A. Improve the technology needed. B. Scan the photos of the buildings. C. Measure all the parts exactly. D. Build 3D models of full size. 37. What value does a digital replica have? A. It keeps the relics safe. B. It advertises the history of the relics. C. It helps to guard the relics. D. It gathers data of the relics. 38. How does the author prove the digital copy has vital practical importance? A. By comparison. B. By listing data. C. By giving examples. D. By classification. 39. What is the author’s attitude towards the application of digital technology? A. Doubtful. B. Conservative. C. Delighted. D. Supportive. 【答案】35. D 36. C 37. A 38. C 39. D 【解析】 【导语】本文以巴黎圣母院大火为例，提出了文物保护的问题。现在随着虚拟现实技术以及数字技术的发展，为保护建筑文化遗产提供了一种很好的方式。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据“In this game, the player can travel to one city after another and enter the buildings exactly like what they are in reality, and see Notre Dame as it was before the fire.”可知，在这款游戏中，玩家可以前往一个又一个城市，并进入与现实中完全一样的建筑，并看到火灾前的巴黎圣母院。所以是可以看到巴黎圣母院的原始外貌。故选D。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据“By scanning the ancient buildings with lasers, building 3D models with multiple images, as well as measuring everything precisely, engineers can make a copy as accurate as the real one.”可知，通过用激光扫描古建筑，建立包含多个图像的3D模型，以及精确地测量一切，工程师们可以制造出与真实建筑一样精确的复制品。故选C。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Even if the original ones are damaged one day, people can still know what they were like and can build a replica if desired.”可知，即使原来的那些有一天被损坏了，人们仍然可以知道它们是什么样子，如果需要的话，可以建造一个复制品。所以推知数字副本确保文物的安全。故选A。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据“The virtual tour of Dunhuang Grottoes in Gansu Province is a good example of this as tourists can view the paintings without standing near them.”可知，甘肃省敦煌石窟的虚拟之旅就是一个很好的例子，游客不用站在石窟附近就能看到壁画。所以作者通过实例证明数字拷贝具有至关重要的现实意义。故选C。 【39题详解】 观点态度题。根据“Maybe we will have better technologies in the future, but the digital technology offers a practical way to preserve architectural cultural heritage at the moment.”可知，也许未来我们会有更好的技术，但数字技术提供了一种切实可行的方式来保护建筑文化遗产。由此推断作者对数字技术的应用是支持的态度。故选D。 (D) Chinese Culture Shown to the World with Love Li Ziqi, a short video blogger specializing in traditional Chinese cooking and handicrafts, has gained worldwide popularity.
