Tiring. 19. What can we learn about the speaker? A. He considers cycling as a task. B. He is completely new to cycling. C. He has made progress in riding uphill. 20. What does the speaker stress at the end of the speech? A. Tips on bicycling. B. Varieties of sports. C. Benefits of bicycling. 【答案】18. A 19. C 20. C 【解析】 【原文】M: I have been a keen bicycle rider for about nine years. When I began bicycling, I found the flat roads easy but the hills almost impossible. Surprisingly, now it’s the opposite. A long flat ride can be both boring and tiring as you never experience that fantastic feeling of freedom when speeding downhill. Years ago, going uphill left me breathless. Now I have learned to take hills slowly. When I set off, I’m full of energy and the first hundred metres are amazing; the next couple of kilometres are a bit tiring; but on the whole, the experience is very enjoyable. Bicycling is like any other form of exercise I have tried as it is never a task but always a pleasure. The physical benefits are obvious but the mental benefits are equally important. When you are bicycling, you breathe fresh air, have time to think and can relax. 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Never climbed before?

At the start of the detox, over 100 students had been persuaded to stop using social media, in ANY form, for seven days. This meant no messaging friends, no posting photos, no blogging — nothing. They were nervous. But could they do it? I lasted two days. The detox was more difficult to tolerate than I had expected. I felt like I had lost an arm! But on reflection, I can see how much of my time had been occupied with checking my phone. I’m now trying to spend less time online and more time picking up my hobbies. — Anna, 17 I lasted four days. On Monday, our classmate and I spoke about what we did at the weekend — it felt strange not to already know what he had done. We would have posted pictures and updated our profiles. Doing the detox meant we had to talk and explain what we were doing and thinking! It made me realise the value of real contact that I had forgotten. — Devon, 16 I managed the whole week! At first, I really felt I was missing out. Then, instead of messaging my friend, I went around to her house. Without our phones, we had a proper conversation for over two hours. Without being distracted by messages from other people, it felt so good! — Cindy, 18 I did all seven days, too! To be honest, I didn’t find the detox too difficult, but I did give my phone to my father to avoid giving in! My brother thought I should make full use of the time without my phone; so he took me to check out our local sports centre. An hour’s sport each day left me tired out and sent me early to bed. The detox made me healthier! — George, 16 The detox raised a total of $1,632.82 for new school sports equipment! Well done, everyone who took part! After reading the posts on this forum, it seems that something rather than money has also been raised through the detox. Awareness of just how much we rely on social media can help us step away from it and communicate with each other better. 24. How long was the Social Media Detox held? A. Four days. B. Five days. C. Six days. D. Seven days. 25. What does doing the detox mean to Devon? A. Relax and enjoy the weekend. B. Post pictures and update profiles. C. Don’t worry about doing homework. D. Talk and explain what they were doing and thinking. 26. Who takes exercise every day in the seven days? A. Anna. B. Cindy. C. George. D. Devon. 27. What benefit did the participants get from the Social Media Detox? A. It helped students learn how to best communicate using social media. B. It made students realise how much time they had been spending on social media. C. It made students want to spend even more time on social media. D. It encouraged students to raise more money for school sports equipment. 【答案】24. D 25. D 26. C 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了布伦顿高中的社交媒体戒断活动，学生们在七天内停止使用社交媒体，并筹集到了资金用于购买新的体育设备。通过这次活动，大家也意识到了自己对社交媒体的依赖程度以及不同参与者的反思和感悟。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“At the start of the detox, over 100 students had been persuaded to stop using social media, in ANY form, for seven days.(在脱瘾活动开始时，100多名学生被说服在七天内停止使用任何形式的社交媒体)”可知，社交媒体脱瘾活动持续了七天。故选D项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章中 Devon 的描述“Doing the detox meant we had to talk and explain what we were doing and thinking！(脱瘾意味着我们必须交谈和解释我们在做什么和想什么！)”可知，对 Devon来说，进行脱瘾意味着他需要谈谈和解释自己正在做什么和思考什么。故选D项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章中 George的描述“An hour’s sport each day left me tired out and sent me early to bed.(每天一小时的运动使我疲惫不堪，使我早早上床睡觉)”可知，在这七天内，George每天都进行了运动。故选C项。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Awareness of just how much we rely on social media can help us step away from it and communicate with each other better.(意识到我们对社交媒体的依赖程度可以帮助我们远离它，更好地与他人交流)”可知，参与者从社交媒体脱瘾活动中得到的收获是意识到他们花在社交媒体上花了很多时间。故选B项。 C How would you like to spend six months living on an island and looking after the Great Barrier Reef? The working hours are flexible and accommodation is provided. Key duties include exploring the islands of the reef and finding out what the area has to offer. You’ll need to report back via weekly blogs, photo diaries and video updates. You’ll also be asked to promote the islands through newspapers, magazines and TV interviews. This call for an island caretaker attracted interest from all over the world. It was actually a very clever means to highlight the importance of the Great Barrier Reef and the need to protect it. Located off the coast of North-east Australia, the Great Barrier Reef is the largest living thing on the planet. About the size of Japan, it even can be seen from outer space. More than25 million years old, the Great Barrier Reef is made up of living coral growing on dead coral. It is host to many species of birds and sea creatures. But this unique and delicate place is now under threat from pollution and climate change. Eventually, the job was offered to Ben Southall from the UK. Ben did a lot during his time as an island caretaker. In addition to blogging, taking photos and writing articles about the reef, he made a number of appearances on television to argue in favour of its defence. He also worked as a presenter for the National Geographic Channel, before going on to write a book about his experiences. Ben later joked that the job should have been advertised not as the “best”, but the “busiest job in the world”! Whether it was a genuine job offer or an eye-catching marketing event isn’t really important. The most important thing was that people all over the world became aware of the beauty of the ocean in the area. What’s more, they came to understand the delicate balance that the environment exists in and what can, and must, be done to protect the reef. That way, it will remain a safe habitat for wildlife, as well as a dream destination for the millions of tourists who visit it each year. 28. What is paragraph 1? A. A weekly blog. B. An advertisement. C. A website. D. A short story. 29. What’s the deep purpose of the call for a caretaker? A. To protect the Great Barrier Reef. B. To build the Great Barrier Reef more beautifully. C. To provide an educational program on marine life. D. To attract more tourists to travel in Australia. 30. What problem was the Great Barrier Reef faced with? A. Lack of tourists. B. Natural disaster. C. Pollution and climate change. D. Disappearing of the islands. 31. What is the text mainly about? A. The best job in the world. B. An English island caretaker—— Ben Southall. C. Why the Great Barrier Reef is under threat. D. How to take care of the Great Barrier Reef. 【答案】28. B 29. A 30. C 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一个通过招聘岛屿管理员的活动来提高全球对大堡礁保护意识的营销策略。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“How would you like to spend six months living on an island and looking after the Great Barrier Reef? The working hours are flexible and accommodation is provided. Key duties include exploring the islands of the reef and finding out what the area has to offer. You’ll need to report back via weekly blogs, photo diaries and video updates. You’ll also be asked to promote the islands through newspapers, magazines and TV interviews.(你愿意花六个月的时间住在岛上，照顾大堡礁吗?工作时间灵活，并提供住宿。主要职责包括探索珊瑚礁的岛屿，并找出该地区有什么。你需要通过每周的博客、照片日记和视频更新来反馈。你也会被要求通过报纸、杂志和电视采访来宣传这些岛屿)”可推断，这是一则广告，因为它详细描述了工作职责和要求，这是广告的典型特征。故选B。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“This call for an island caretaker attracted interest from all over the world. It was actually a very clever means to highlight the importance of the Great Barrier Reef and the need to protect it.(这个岛屿管理员的呼吁引起了全世界的兴趣。这实际上是一个非常聪明的方式来强调大堡礁的重要性和保护它的必要性)”可知，这个职位不仅仅是一个工作机会，更是一个提高公众意识和促进环境保护的平台。故选A。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“But this unique and delicate place is now under threat from pollution and climate change.(但这个独特而脆弱的地方现在正受到污染和气候变化的威胁)”可知，大堡礁面临的问题是污染和气候变化。故选C。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“This call for an island caretaker attracted interest from all over the world. It was actually a very clever means to highlight the importance of the Great Barrier Reef and the need to protect it.(这个岛屿管理员的呼吁引起了全世界的兴趣。这实际上是一个非常聪明的方式来强调大堡礁的重要性和保护它的必要性)”以及文章主要讲述了一个被称为“世界上最好的工作”的岛屿管理员职位，这个职位实际上是一个营销活动，旨在提高人们对大堡礁保护的意识。A选项“世界上最好的工作”最符合文章标题。故选A。 D According to Carol Henger, an urban ecologist at Fordham University, around 20-30 coyotes (郊狼) live in New York City, which was first reported by the New York Times. According to the journal, coyotes have been spotted wandering (游荡的) areas of NYC as early as 1994, with proof of breeding groups first established in 2016. NYC wasn’t originally home to coyotes, as most of the species came from the Great Plains and Southwest. Dr. Henger estimates a total of 20 — 30 coyotes are now residing in the city. Many of the coyotes currently living in the city can actually be traced back to the original group that first arrived in the Bronx, so they truly are multi-generational New Yorkers. The curious creatures can cover as much as 10 miles of open space per day — picture the route from Wall Street to the top of Central Park. So where are they living in NYC? Well, according to Urban Coyote Research, urban coyotes like to keep their distance from humans, choosing habitats (栖息地) in parks or wooded patches. Specifically in NYC, Dr. Henger discovered coyote feces (粪便) mainly around green spaces in the Bronx and areas throughout Queens over a 10-year span, shares the New York Times. In recent years, NYC has also seen coyotes wandering in Central Park. As for diet, urban coyotes had a more species-rich diet than the non-urban coyotes. From plants to rabbits, human leftovers to rodents rats, urban coyotes actually have quite a diverse diet. And though only a limited number of rats were traced in urban coyote feces according to Dr. Henger, at least something’s out there dealing with them until the city hires a rat catcher! 32. What does the text suggest about the coyotes’ habitats? A. They are native to NYC. B. They were first discovered in Central Park. C. They often change habitats throughout their lives. D. They originally came from the Great Plains and Southwest. 33. What does the underlined word “residing” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Sleeping. B. Hiding. C. Living. D. Visiting. 34. What can be known about urban coyotes? A. They are unfamiliar with NYC. B. They can wander up to 10 miles in a day. C. They prefer to live in populated urban areas. D. They have a limited diet consisting of only plants. 35. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The varied diet of urban coyotes. B. Safety tips on living with coyotes. C. Coyotes’ daily movements in NYC. D. The arrival and settlement of coyotes. 【答案】32. D 33. C 34. B 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。纽约市已成为20至30只郊狼的栖息地，这些动物适应了城市生活，拥有多样的食物来源，并在城市的绿地中建立了自己的生存空间。 32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“NYC wasn’t originally home to coyotes, as most of the species came from the Great Plains and Southwest.(纽约市最初并不是郊狼的家园，因为大多数物种来自大平原和西南部)”可知，郊狼最初的栖息地是大平原和西南部。故选D。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词后“Many of the coyotes currently living in the city can actually be traced back to the original group that first arrived in the Bronx, so they truly are multi- generational New Yorkers.(目前生活在纽约的许多郊狼实际上可以追溯到第一批到达布朗克斯的原始群体，所以它们是真正的多代纽约狼)”可知，后文主要分析了生活在这里的这些土狼的来源，即指现在总共有20到30只土狼生活在这座城市，画线词义与Living意思相近。故选C。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The curious creatures can cover as much as 10 miles of open space per day — picture the route from Wall Street to the top of Central Park.(这些奇怪的生物每天可以在10英里的空地上行走——想象一下从华尔街到中央公园顶部的路线)”可知，郊狼每天活动范围可至十英里。故选B。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“As for diet, urban coyotes had a more species- rich diet than the non- urban coyotes. From plants to rabbits, human leftovers to rodents rats, urban coyotes actually have quite a diverse diet. And though only a limited number of rats were traced in urban coyote feces according to Dr. Henger, at least something’s out there dealing with them until the city hires a rat catcher!(在饮食方面，城市郊狼的饮食种类比非城市郊狼丰富。从植物到兔子，从人类的剩饭到啮齿类动物，城市叫卡不过的饮食其实相当多样化。尽管亨格博士在城市郊狼的粪便中只发现了有限数量的老鼠，但至少在市政府雇佣捕鼠员之前，有办法对付它们！)”可知，最后一段主要讲述了郊狼饮食的多样化。故选A。 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。 Is there a right or wrong way on how to view art? Whether we admit it or not, we’ve all had that moment of uncertainty while viewing art. However, that you’re not an expert doesn’t mean you can’t understand art. ____36____. Determine the basics When you first see an artwork, identify some basic information about it. Try to determine its medium (材料). If it’s a painting, see if you can figure out the type of paint used. ____37____. These observations can build a foundation for better understanding. ____38____ Artists are masters of drawing attention. They usually have a plan for how your vision should move across the artwork. Taking note of what you notice first is a useful way to begin your experience. For example it is said that Renaissance artists would refer to their paintings as “machines”. Their intention was to allow viewers to move their eyes smoothly through the work of art with clarity (清晰) and balance. Do some homework You don’t need a background in art to appreciate it, but having some knowledge doesn’t hurt, either. If a work of art catches your attention, do a little research, read an exhibition’s catalogue (目录) or speak to the art team. ____39____. Feel the artwork ____40____. Is the artwork artful or dramatic? How does it affect your feelings? Do you feel sad, happy or angry? These questions require immediate reactions. They can be subjective, but they are worth considering, because art is about the artist communicating and expressing ideas. A. Notice your eye movements B. Spend some time with artists C. All these can deepen your appreciation D. Recognize your feelings as you first view the art E. You can also identify the artist and when it was created F. Try these tips next time you’re viewing art, and they might help you G. You’d be surprised by the knowledge you can acquire when interpreting art 【答案】36. F 37. E 38. A 39. C 40. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章提供了一些技巧和建议，帮助非专家欣赏和理解艺术作品，强调了欣赏艺术是主观的体验，没有固定的方式。 【36题详解】 根据下文提供的建议“Determine the basics(确定基础)”和“Do some homework(做一些家庭作业)”以及“Feel the artwork(感受艺术作品)”可知，此空应是引出下文讲述的一些建议和技巧来帮助欣赏和理解艺术作品，F选项“Try these tips next time you’re viewing art, and they might help you (下次你看艺术品的时候试试这些建议，它们可能会对你有所帮助)”中的these tips指的是下文讲述的建议和技巧，符合语境。故选F项。 【37题详解】 根据空前的“Try to determine its medium (材料). If it’s a painting, see if you can figure out the type of paint used.(尝试确定它的材料。如果是一幅画，看看你能不能找出用的是哪种颜料。)”以及空后的“These observations can build a foundation for better understanding.(这些观察可以为更好地理解奠定基础。)”中的These observations可知，此空讲述的内容应与观察艺术作品去理解艺术作品相关，E选项“You can also identify the artist and when it was created(你也可以辨认出艺术家和作品的创作时间)”讲述的内容与空前内容一致，且与空后的these observations所指的内容相关，符合语境。故选E项。 【38题详解】 分析语篇可知，此处应为本段的小标题，与其他段落相同，应为祈使句，根据空后的“Artists are masters of drawing attention. They usually have a plan for how your vision should move across the artwork.(艺术家是吸引注意力的大师。他们通常会对你的视觉如何在艺术作品中移动有一个计划。)”可知，本段讲述的内容应与视觉内容相关，A选项“Notice your eye movements(留意你的视线所在)”为祈使句，且讲述的内容可以概括本段的主题，所以适合作本段小标题。故选A项。 【39题详解】 根据空前的“You don’t need a background in art to appreciate it, but having some knowledge doesn’t hurt, either.(你不需要有艺术背景来欣赏它，但有一些知识也无妨。)”和“If a work of art catches your attention, do a little research, read an exhibition’s catalogue (目录) or speak to the art team.(如果一件艺术品引起了你的注意，做一点研究，阅读展览目录或与艺术团队交谈。)”可知，欣赏艺术前有一些艺术背景，对感兴趣的艺术品做一点相关的研究，有助于提高欣赏能力，C选项“All these can deepen your appreciation(这些都有助于提升你的鉴赏能力)”中的All these指代上文中的“了解艺术背景”和“对艺术品做点功课”，且对上文内容进行了总结，符合语境。故选C项。 【40题详解】 根据本段小标题“Feel the artwork(感受艺术品)”及空后“Is the artwork artful or dramatic? How does it affect your feelings? Do you feel sad, happy or angry? (这件艺术品是艺术的还是戏剧性的?它是如何影响你的感受的?你感到悲伤、快乐还是生气?)”可知，空后讲述的内容均与欣赏艺术品时的个人感受相关，D选项“Recognize your feelings as you first view the art(当你第一次看到艺术作品时，识别自己的感受)”中的your feelings为解题的关键，该选项引出下文，符合语境。故选D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。 Yoshie Minamidani is a survivor of the 7.6 magnitude earthquake.

Visiting##Having visited 59. friends 60. to uncover 61. loneliness 62. which 63. was touched 64. and 65. Personally 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇书评。文章主要介绍《小王子》这本书的内容、作者的感悟以及推荐理由。 【56题详解】 考查介词。句意：这本儿童奇幻读物也深受成年人的喜爱。此句为被动语态，表示“受/被……喜爱”，介词“by”后跟动作的执行者。故填by。 【57题详解】 考查冠词。句意：它讲述了一个飞行员在沙漠中坠毁的故事。story“故事”为可数名词，此处表为泛指“一个关于……的故事”，且story是以辅音音素开头的单词，故此处应填不定冠词a。故填a。 【58题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：小王子从另一个星球来访，他向飞行员讲述了他的冒险经历，两人成为了朋友。主语 the little prince与动词visit之间是逻辑上的主动关系，因此使用现在分词visiting，也可用现在分词完成形式having done表示动作发生在谓语动词recounts之前，句首单词首字母大写。故填Visiting/Having visited。 【59题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：小王子从另一个星球来访，他向飞行员讲述了他的冒险经历，两人成为了朋友。根据上下文，这里指的是小王子和飞行员之间的关系，因此需要使用名词的复数形式来表示两者，故填 friends。 【60题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：这本书谈到了透过事物的表面发现其真正意义的重要性。这里表示目的，应用不定式作目的状语。故填to uncover。 【61题详解】 考查名词。句意：我喜欢它，因为它很简单，但它确实让我思考了很多关于生与死、爱与责任、友谊与孤独的问题。作介词about的宾语，用名词loneliness，不可数。故填loneliness。 【62题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：书中最令人难忘的人物之一是一朵玫瑰花，小王子爱上了它。引导非限制性定语从句，指代先行词a rose，指物，且在从句中作宾语，故填which。 【63题详解】 考查动词的时态与语态。句意：许多年前，我真的被这句话打动了——“正是你在你的玫瑰身上花费的时间，让你的玫瑰变得如此重要。”——因为它展示了我们是如何通过关心和承担责任与他人建立特殊的联系的。主语Ⅰ和 touch之间是被动关系，应用被动语态，根据“Many years ago”可知此句陈述过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时的被动语态，谓语用单数。故填was touched。 【64题详解】 考查连词。句意：许多年前，我真的被这句话打动了——“正是你在你的玫瑰身上花费的时间，让你的玫瑰变得如此重要。”——因为它展示了我们是如何通过关心和承担责任与他人建立特殊的联系的。空格处需要填入一个连词来连接两个并列的动名词caring和taking responsibility。故填and。 【65题详解】 考查副词。句意：就我个人而言，我认为这是一本感人的书，每个人都应该读，无论他们的年龄。修饰整个句子用副词personally，且首字母需要大写，故填Personally。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节 （满分15分） 66. 假定你是李华,你校英语俱乐部将举办主题为“How Music Can Change a Person’s Life”的演讲比赛。请你写一篇演讲稿参赛，内容包括： 1.音乐的作用； 2.音乐对你生活的影响； 3.呼吁大家多听好音乐。 注意：1.写作词数应为 80个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Hello, everyone, __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Thank you! 【答案】Hello, everyone, Today I am very glad to have the opportunity to make this presentation.

All I wanted growing up was to fit in. So I wore a wig (假发). However, my classmates still found out my secret. They made fun of me, saying, “Lindsay has no hair.” Sports became my escape, and I was fortunate to have inborn athletic ability. I would race home every day and play basketball in my backyard for hours. I never thought about my bald (光秃的) head during these moments, but rather who I wanted to become and what I wanted to achieve. I started to gain recognition from others. I became known as the girl who was good at basketball, not just as the girl who didn’t have hair. I was still laughed at by some classmates, but it began to bother me less. I put all my time and energy into basketball and becoming the best player I could be. I had a great high-school career, breaking countless school records, and received a scholarship to play in college. It was a dream come true. However, I still wasn’t okay with my alopecia and rarely talked about it. I continued to wear my wig all the time, no matter the weather or what I was doing. It was my security and way to hide from the world. College is a huge transition. I remember the first time when I built up the courage to tell an amazing friend in college about my alopecia. She was called Jennifer, who was good at running. When I told her about my alopecia, she comforted me that even without hair, I was a great girl. It was the first time that I had felt accepted by a person of my age. After that, we supported each other and often ran together. She offered me some advice on running. With her guidance and help, I wanted to realize my dream of running marathons. I trained hard and made great progress. Jennifer advised me to run my first marathon without a wig. I wanted to do this but I was hesitant. 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。 Two weeks later I started my first marathon. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the crowd saw two bald girls competing, they screamed(尖叫)in surprise. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Two weeks later, I started my first marathon. On the day of the competition, I saw Jennifer wearing a hat. When I approached her, I found that she had already shaved off her hair. I was surprised and moved. I knew she was encouraging me in this way. I hugged her, with tears welling up in my eyes. At the beginning of the competition, she took off her hat and I took off my wig. We smiled at each other and ran towards the finish line. When the crowd saw two bald girls competing, they screamed(尖叫)in surprise. We ignored the voices of others and just strove to run forward. As I crossed the finish line, I threw myself at Jennifer to express my gratitude. “You did it!” she congratulated me. Meanwhile, the audience at the finish line gave us warm applause. For the first time, I felt I was brave, strong and beautiful. I felt like I finally found myself, a person who no longer needed a wig. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者两岁因脱发症光头，戴假发仍遭同学嘲笑，以体育逃避。她在篮球上获认可，却仍因脱发困扰。大学时向擅长跑步的Jennifer坦白，Jennifer安慰并接纳她。此后她们相互支持，Jennifer帮助作者训练跑马拉松，还劝其不戴假发参赛，作者虽心动但犹豫的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“两周后，我开始了我的第一次马拉松比赛。”可知，第一段可描写比赛的那天Jennifer把头发剃了，陪作者一起跑马拉松。 ②由第二段首句内容“当人群看到两个秃头女孩竞争时，她们惊讶地尖叫。”可知，第二段可描写作者和朋友无视别人的声音，努力向前跑，取得胜利，同时也获得了信心。 2.续写线索：第一次比赛——Jennifer剃光头发——作者感动摘下假发——跑到终点——感激——找到自己 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①看见：saw /noticed /observed /spotted ②接近：approached /neared /came close to /drew near ③拥抱：hugged /embraced 情绪类 ①惊讶的：surprised /astonished /shocked /amazed ②感动的：moved / touched 【点睛】[高分句型1] When I approached her, I found that she had already shaved off her hair.

B Today marks the last day of the Social Media Detox, Brenton High’s fundraising campaign for new sports equipment. At the start of the detox, over 100 students had been persuaded to stop using social media, in ANY form, for seven days. This meant no messaging friends, no posting photos, no blogging — nothing. They were nervous. But could they do it? I lasted two days. The detox was more difficult to tolerate than I had expected. I felt like I had lost an arm! But on reflection, I can see how much of my time had been occupied with checking my phone. I’m now trying to spend less time online and more time picking up my hobbies. — Anna, 17 I lasted four days. On Monday, our classmate and I spoke about what we did at the weekend — it felt strange not to already know what he had done. We would have posted pictures and updated our profiles. Doing the detox meant we had to talk and explain what we were doing and thinking! It made me realise the value of real contact that I had forgotten. — Devon, 16 I managed the whole week! At first, I really felt I was missing out. Then, instead of messaging my friend, I went around to her house. Without our phones, we had a proper conversation for over two hours. Without being distracted by messages from other people, it felt so good! — Cindy, 18 I did all seven days, too! To be honest, I didn’t find the detox too difficult, but I did give my phone to my father to avoid giving in! My brother thought I should make full use of the time without my phone; so he took me to check out our local sports centre. An hour’s sport each day left me tired out and sent me early to bed. The detox made me healthier! — George, 16 The detox raised a total of $1,632.82 for new school sports equipment! Well done, everyone who took part! After reading the posts on this forum, it seems that something rather than money has also been raised through the detox. Awareness of just how much we rely on social media can help us step away from it and communicate with each other better. 24. How long was the Social Media Detox held? A. Four days. B. Five days. C. Six days. D. Seven days. 25. What does doing the detox mean to Devon? A. Relax and enjoy the weekend. B. Post pictures and update profiles. C. Don’t worry about doing homework. D. Talk and explain what they were doing and thinking. 26. Who takes exercise every day in the seven days? A. Anna. B. Cindy. C. George. D. Devon. 27. What benefit did the participants get from the Social Media Detox? A. It helped students learn how to best communicate using social media. B.

The working hours are flexible and accommodation is provided. Key duties include exploring the islands of the reef and finding out what the area has to offer. You’ll need to report back via weekly blogs, photo diaries and video updates. You’ll also be asked to promote the islands through newspapers, magazines and TV interviews. This call for an island caretaker attracted interest from all over the world. It was actually a very clever means to highlight the importance of the Great Barrier Reef and the need to protect it. Located off the coast of North-east Australia, the Great Barrier Reef is the largest living thing on the planet. About the size of Japan, it even can be seen from outer space. More than25 million years old, the Great Barrier Reef is made up of living coral growing on dead coral. It is host to many species of birds and sea creatures. But this unique and delicate place is now under threat from pollution and climate change. Eventually, the job was offered to Ben Southall from the UK. Ben did a lot during his time as an island caretaker. In addition to blogging, taking photos and writing articles about the reef, he made a number of appearances on television to argue in favour of its defence. He also worked as a presenter for the National Geographic Channel, before going on to write a book about his experiences. Ben later joked that the job should have been advertised not as the “best”, but the “busiest job in the world”! Whether it was a genuine job offer or an eye-catching marketing event isn’t really important. The most important thing was that people all over the world became aware of the beauty of the ocean in the area. What’s more, they came to understand the delicate balance that the environment exists in and what can, and must, be done to protect the reef. That way, it will remain a safe habitat for wildlife, as well as a dream destination for the millions of tourists who visit it each year. 28. What is paragraph 1? A. A weekly blog. B. An advertisement. C. A website. D. A short story. 29. What’s the deep purpose of the call for a caretaker? A. To protect the Great Barrier Reef. B. To build the Great Barrier Reef more beautifully. C. To provide an educational program on marine life. D. To attract more tourists to travel in Australia. 30. What problem was the Great Barrier Reef faced with? A. Lack of tourists. B. Natural disaster. C. Pollution and climate change. D. Disappearing of the islands. 31. What is the text mainly about? A. The best job in the world. B. An English island caretaker—— Ben Southall. C. Why the Great Barrier Reef is under threat. D. How to take care of the Great Barrier Reef. D According to Carol Henger, an urban ecologist at Fordham University, around 20-30 coyotes (郊狼) live in New York City, which was first reported by the New York Times. According to the journal, coyotes have been spotted wandering (游荡的) areas of NYC as early as 1994, with proof of breeding groups first established in 2016. NYC wasn’t originally home to coyotes, as most of the species came from the Great Plains and Southwest. Dr. Henger estimates a total of 20 — 30 coyotes are now residing in the city. Many of the coyotes currently living in the city can actually be traced back to the original group that first arrived in the Bronx, so they truly are multi-generational New Yorkers. The curious creatures can cover as much as 10 miles of open space per day — picture the route from Wall Street to the top of Central Park. So where are they living in NYC? Well, according to Urban Coyote Research, urban coyotes like to keep their distance from humans, choosing habitats (栖息地) in parks or wooded patches. Specifically in NYC, Dr. Henger discovered coyote feces (粪便) mainly around green spaces in the Bronx and areas throughout Queens over a 10-year span, shares the New York Times. In recent years, NYC has also seen coyotes wandering in Central Park. As for diet, urban coyotes had a more species-rich diet than the non-urban coyotes. From plants to rabbits, human leftovers to rodents rats, urban coyotes actually have quite a diverse diet. And though only a limited number of rats were traced in urban coyote feces according to Dr. Henger, at least something’s out there dealing with them until the city hires a rat catcher! 32. What does the text suggest about the coyotes’ habitats? A. They are native to NYC. B. They were first discovered in Central Park. C. They often change habitats throughout their lives. D. They originally came from the Great Plains and Southwest. 33. What does the underlined word “residing” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Sleeping. B. Hiding. C. Living. D. Visiting. 34. What can be known about urban coyotes? A. They are unfamiliar with NYC. B. They can wander up to 10 miles in a day. C. They prefer to live in populated urban areas. D. They have a limited diet consisting of only plants. 35. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The varied diet of urban coyotes. B. Safety tips on living with coyotes. C. Coyotes’ daily movements in NYC. D. The arrival and settlement of coyotes. 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。 Is there a right or wrong way on how to view art?

All I wanted growing up was to fit in. So I wore a wig (假发). However, my classmates still found out my secret. They made fun of me, saying, “Lindsay has no hair.” Sports became my escape, and I was fortunate to have inborn athletic ability. I would race home every day and play basketball in my backyard for hours. I never thought about my bald (光秃的) head during these moments, but rather who I wanted to become and what I wanted to achieve. I started to gain recognition from others. I became known as the girl who was good at basketball, not just as the girl who didn’t have hair. I was still laughed at by some classmates, but it began to bother me less. I put all my time and energy into basketball and becoming the best player I could be. I had a great high-school career, breaking countless school records, and received a scholarship to play in college. It was a dream come true. However, I still wasn’t okay with my alopecia and rarely talked about it. I continued to wear my wig all the time, no matter the weather or what I was doing. It was my security and way to hide from the world. College is a huge transition. I remember the first time when I built up the courage to tell an amazing friend in college about my alopecia. She was called Jennifer, who was good at running. When I told her about my alopecia, she comforted me that even without hair, I was a great girl. It was the first time that I had felt accepted by a person of my age. After that, we supported each other and often ran together. She offered me some advice on running. With her guidance and help, I wanted to realize my dream of running marathons. I trained hard and made great progress. Jennifer advised me to run my first marathon without a wig. I wanted to do this but I was hesitant. 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。 Two weeks later, I started my first marathon. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the crowd saw two bald girls competing, they screamed(尖叫)in surprise. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null
