Of course, it is the speaker with multifunctions. When it comes to the names of the most popular speakers on the market, the following four spring to mind. The SoundLink Micro speaker is small, but powerful. It doesn’t really matter what you’re doing—hiking, biking, cooking dinner or hanging out. You need music. We designed a Bluetooth speaker that keeps pace with all of your adventures and delivers unmatched sound for its size. Super rugged and waterproof. It features a tear-resistant silicone strap—so you can take it along wherever you go. The Home Speaker is a wireless home speaker, a voice-controlled speaker and a Bluetooth speaker. Anywhere with Wi-Fi, you can control it with your voice and stream music directly from the cloud. Outside Wi-Fi range, you can control it like any other portable speaker with your mobile phone or tablet and listen to anything you can play on your device. The Sound Link Color Bluetooth speaker II is designed for life on the go it’s rounded with a soft-touch surface, so it’s still easy to carry in your hand. The wrap-around silicone body gives it the compact durability you need to toss it in a bag or backpack and take it anywhere. Plenty of speakers look waterproof. But Sound Link Color stands up to water from the inside out,so you can listen by the pool or lake, too. The Bose S1 system is a PA system, and it has a lightweight, rugged enclosure with a built-in handle, so it’s easy to carry and take just about anywhere.

It can broadcast music played on the device. 2. Which speaker best suits people who want to achieve a better sound effect in a party? A. The Home Speaker. B. The Bose S1 system. C.

Anabela Malpique, an expert in handwriting from Murdoch University, Australia, urged (敦促，极力主张) parents to help their children move away from using phones and other devices to pencils and paper. “Research tells us in the primary years that kids need to spend more time developing handwriting skills,“ she said, “especially in the first three years of schooling to develop their hand-eye co-ordination (协调能力).” Handwriting is more important than typing on a keyboard for kids’ development in the first years of school. And parents need to support that under the guidance of the teachers. Therefore, NSW Primary Principals’ Association president Robyn Evans urged parents to improve their child’s fine coordinated skills before they enter a school through painting and cutting with scissors (剪刀). Now Australian schools require that in the NAPLAN test the third years must still write with a pen and paper in their final exams. Ella Losi, a handwriting coach, said she helped school-age children improve their writing, but when she taught university students, whose writing in exams was unreadable, she felt unbearable and annoyed. “Speed is important and so is legibility, but they seem unable to do that, eventually causing their failure in exams and even in communication,” said Ella Losi. A NSW Education Standards Authority spokeswoman said students learn handwriting from kindergarten to Year 2. And by Year 4 they are required to write fluently and consistently when composing sentences and texts. While digital technology, including keyboards, was used from kindergarten to Year 10, teachers make decisions about how digital technology is used in class. Mum Jvala Nolan, whose five-year-old twins started kindergarten this week, said she forced them to do a page or two of handwriting at home regularly, instead of using tablets. She said, “I know there’s a lot of typing in school now, but handwriting has more structure and it teaches them co-ordination.” 4. How is the first paragraph developed? A. By stating facts. B. By conveying a lesson C. By showing an example. D. By listing the research result. 5. Why is handwriting vital to preschool kids according to the text? A It may help them get good marks in exams. B. It can prepare them for further development. C. It can equip them with fine coordinated skills. D. It may enable them to speed their writing response. 6. What does the underlined word “legibility” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Good performance. B. Clear and readable writing. C. Proper but unique printing. D. Smooth and effective communication. 7. Why is Jvala Nolan mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To state that using tablets to type should be banned. B. To present how parents train their kids’ handwriting. C. To offer the reason why handwriting is more important. D. To show parents have attached importance to kids’ handwriting. Accompanied by the rhythmic sound of bamboo strips (竹板), Yang Ziqi, 17, from Xi’an Qujiang No l High School, listens to interesting stories in the Shaanxi dialect. The stories range in subject greatly from the story of the Monkey King to instructions on garbage sorting. “Shaanxi kuaiban is amazing. It can not only bring you great joy, but also broaden your horizons” said Yang. Shaanxi kuaiban is a traditional Chinese form of storytelling in the Shaanxi dialect to the rhythm of bamboo clappers. In June, it was recognized as an intangible cultural heritage at the national level. It can be performed by a group or solo. The art form can be traced back to the late Qing Dynasty (1644 — 1911). According to its performers, the art was originally used by farmers to share their knowledge and earn money. But now, more people perform Shaanxi kuaiban on different occasions-for example, at festival celebrations, parties and art shows. Yang Jinlong, 45, is an experienced Shaanxi kuaiban artist. He first learned the art at the age of 9. Before that, he often went with his father, an amateur performer, to watch kuaiban performances. “As a young boy, I was attracted to the art form because many of the stories are about heroes. The performer tells stories while playing kuaiban, and it’s easy for the audience to remember the stories since all the lines rhyme,” Yang said. He has practiced Shaanxi kuaiban for more than 30 years. Since 2003, he has been teaching the art form to young people. At 9 am on weekdays, he drives to primary and middle schools in Xi’an and teaches students about Shaanxi kuaiban until about 6 pm. Then, he returns home to prepare classes for the next day. On the weekends, he teaches for six hours each day at art education institutions in Xi’an. Yang has made some adaptations to the art form to relate more to students. When he tells modern stories, Yang abandons the traditional gown and wears a suit. He also integrates many pop elements like tap dance, ballet, jazz dance and the rhythm of popular music into kuaiban performances. His stories focus on more trendy topics, like stories of heroes who have worked to alleviate poverty (扶贫), as well as the Chinese Olympic team. “Art education is important for students in China. Just as many students learn to play Western musical instruments like the piano and violin there are many people learning traditional Chinese folk arts, including Shaanxi kuaiban. They are committed and passionate,” Yang said. 8. What do we know about Shaanxi kuaiban? A. It dates back to the late Ming Dynasty. B. People perform it in Shaanxi dialect. C. It was originally used by teachers for teaching. D. It focuses on Chinese ancient literature. 9. Why was Yang Jin long fascinated by Shaanxi kuaiban as a child? A. Because all the lines rhyme. B. Because he liked stories about heroes. C Because it was away to earn money. D. Because he wanted to be like his father. 10. What did Yang Jin long do to promote Shaanxi kuaiban? A. He wore local clothes of Shaanxi. B. He told stories about superheroes. C. He added pop elements to performances. D. He performed Shaanxi kuaiban in We stem countries. 11. Which of the following best describes Yang Jin long? A. Talented and modest. B. Patient and capable. C. Determined and creative. D. Humorous and responsible. Climate change does not offer comfort but it can produce winners as well as losers. With parts of England as hot as the Champagne region of France was in the 1980s, the sparkling-wine industry is already bubbling. Longer sunny periods will make it easier for British winemakers to make quality wines. A recent study from the London School of Economics finds that climate change is also expanding the area in England suitable for making wine. Most vineyards (葡萄园) are in south-east England but more land as far north as the east Midlands could come into use. Alistair Nesbitt, the study’s lead author, says that by 2040 higher temperatures may also allow winemakers to grow more disease-resistant varieties of grapes. As a result, a mini land rush is under way. According to Strutt & Parker, a consultancy, Britain has over 900 vineyards, up by 80% in the past five years. Essex, Sussex and Kent are of most interest to winemakers. This summer Jackson Family Wines, an American firm, became the first big maker of wines to invest in England; it plans to acquire around 26 hectares (公顷) in Essex. London clay, a mud found in high concentrations in the county, is ideal for producing bold red wine. Nick Watson of Strutt & Parker says that the prices of established vineyards have increased sharply and that land suitable for viticulture (葡萄栽培) now sells for £40,000-50,000 per hectare. Such prices pale next to those in famed wine regions abroad: in Bordeaux land can fetch over £1.6m a hectare. The difference has little to do with the quality of the soil and much to do with a region’s reputation. Other aspects of climate change are less welcome for winemakers. A year of heavy rain or severe drought could destroy entire crops. John Atkinson, a winemaker in Essex, says that making good wine all comes down to the soil, the weather and the barrel. “Growing grapes in this country is a bit like playing cricket,” he says, “There are so many ways to be out.” 12. According to the first two paragraphs, climate change has led to __________. A. a change in the nutrition of grapes B. the expansion of suitable land for vineyards C. longer sunny periods in the Champagne region D. improved skills of British winemakers in wine making 13. The author uses the example of Jackson Family Wines in paragraph 3 to show __________. A. London clay is ideal for grape growth B. Essex is the best place for wine making C. investments in vineyards in England are increasing D. the global wine market is experiencing significant growth 14. What does the underlined word “pale” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Drop sharply. B. Appear more obvious. C. Look normal. D. Seem less impressive. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Rise of English Viticulture B. Invest in the UK Wine Industry C. Sing the Praises of Climate Change D. Growing Popularity of British Wines Why do some people feel obliged to do the craziest things, while most of us are happy to sit on the sofa and watch their exploits on TV? Robin Styles ponders(考虑)this question. Generally, we love to watch someone's bravery and drama--a single person against the wilds of nature, testing their endurance beyond belief. And our pleasure is greater because we live a comfortable and increasingly risk-free life, where the greatest test of endurance is getting to work through the rush hour. ____16____However, there are countless ways to test the limits of your endurance, if you should wish to do so, by attempting something unpleasant, uncomfortable or just plain dangerous. American Lynne Cox swims in sub-zero temperatures through the planet's most dangerous oceans wearing only a swimsuit--for fun! According to Lynne, there is always something driving her on. At age 9, when she was swimming in an outdoor pool one day, a violent storm blew up, but she refused to get out of the pool. Something make her carry on. Then she realized that, as the water got colder and rougher, she was actually getting faster and warmer, and she was really enjoying it. At age 14, she broke her first endurance record. Years later, experts discovered that Lynne has a totally even layer of body fat, like a seal. ____17____. The famous British explorer, Sir Ranulph Fiennes, has led many major expeditions (远征) in the extreme cold, including walking right round the Arctic Circle. He has also led expeditions in the extreme heat, and discovered the Lost City of Ubar in the Omani desert. ____18____Sir Fiennes has said, "If I am getting sick, I find a very powerful way of conquering it is to know that my father would have definitely done it." ____19____There is probably no such thing as a "normal" adventurer. Unsurprisingly, risk-takers tend to be single-minded and unusually determined people who hate the stability and routine that most people prefer. They tend to take risks for the "fun" of it. The excitement becomes addictive, and they want more and more of it. Ordinary life seems boring in comparison. A. She is perfectly made for doing what she does, it seems. B. Adventurers are clearly different from the rest of us. C. What she did was really beyond our imagination. D. It seems that many adventurers spend their lives trying to live up to the image of a parent. E. And most of us would prefer it to remain that way. F. Many adventurers have amazed the world with their extraordinary skills. 三、完形填空 Along the hallway (走廊), I saw mixed expressions on the faces of my students: excited, nervous, and worried.

Elizabeth had been practising her speech for a week. She’d presented flowers to the dog, the cat, and the statue in the garden. Part of her couldn’t wait. This Saturday, the great Ana Wolff, famous pianist, would perform at the concert hall in town. For four years, Elizabeth had taken piano lessons. She’d listened to Ms. Wolff’s recordings over and over again, loving the way the notes tumbled like a rushing mountain stream. Part of Elizabeth was terrified. Her music teacher at school, Mr. Leaf, had asked Elizabeth to present the flowers to Ms. Wolff after the performance. Why did he have to choose her? Elizabeth hated oral reports, plays at the synagogue—anything where she had to talk in front of people. Some of her classmates liked giving speeches. Myron gave a speech every time Mr. Leaf called on him. Melissa always volunteered to make announcements. Let one of them present the flowers! “How’s the speech coming?” asked Elizabeth’s mother from the back door. “Want to practise on me?” “No, thanks,” said Elizabeth. “Mum, I can’t do this! I’ll forget. I might even pass out!” “No, you won’t, honey. Think about it... sharing the stage with Ana Wolff. What an honour!” “Not if I do something dumb.” But Elizabeth kept practising. ”Beautiful flowers for a beautiful performance...“ Then the big day when Ms. Wolff gave a concert finally came. Elizabeth and her mother took their seats. She held a bunch of red roses. “All set, Elizabeth?” Mr. Leaf asked. Her stomach tightened, but she nodded at him. Mum squeezed Elizabeth’s hand. 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。 Paragraph 1: As the lights dimmed, Ms. Wolff walked onstage and bowed, smiling. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Ms. Wolff smiled and bowed again before she was about to walk offstage. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1-20AACACCAABCCABACACBAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 湖南省常德市武陵区常德市第六中学2024-2025学年 高三下学期入学考试英语试题 一、听力选择题 1.

Now Australian schools require that in the NAPLAN test the third years must still write with a pen and paper in their final exams. Ella Losi, a handwriting coach, said she helped school-age children improve their writing, but when she taught university students, whose writing in exams was unreadable, she felt unbearable and annoyed. “Speed is important and so is legibility, but they seem unable to do that, eventually causing their failure in exams and even in communication,” said Ella Losi. A NSW Education Standards Authority spokeswoman said students learn handwriting from kindergarten to Year 2. And by Year 4 they are required to write fluently and consistently when composing sentences and texts. While digital technology, including keyboards, was used from kindergarten to Year 10, teachers make decisions about how digital technology is used in class. Mum Jvala Nolan, whose five-year-old twins started kindergarten this week, said she forced them to do a page or two of handwriting at home regularly, instead of using tablets. She said, “I know there’s a lot of typing in school now, but handwriting has more structure and it teaches them co-ordination.” 4. How is the first paragraph developed? A. By stating facts. B. By conveying a lesson C. By showing an example. D. By listing the research result. 5. Why is handwriting vital to preschool kids according to the text? A. It may help them get good marks in exams. B. It can prepare them for further development. C It can equip them with fine coordinated skills. D. It may enable them to speed their writing response. 6. What does the underlined word “legibility” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Good performance. B. Clear and readable writing. C. Proper but unique printing. D. Smooth and effective communication. 7. Why is Jvala Nolan mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To state that using tablets to type should be banned. B. To present how parents train their kids’ handwriting. C. To offer the reason why handwriting is more important. D. To show parents have attached importance to kids’ handwriting. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7.

The stories range in subject greatly from the story of the Monkey King to instructions on garbage sorting. “Shaanxi kuaiban is amazing. It can not only bring you great joy, but also broaden your horizons” said Yang. Shaanxi kuaiban is a traditional Chinese form of storytelling in the Shaanxi dialect to the rhythm of bamboo clappers. In June, it was recognized as an intangible cultural heritage at the national level. It can be performed by a group or solo. The art form can be traced back to the late Qing Dynasty (1644 — 1911). According to its performers, the art was originally used by farmers to share their knowledge and earn money. But now, more people perform Shaanxi kuaiban on different occasions-for example, at festival celebrations, parties and art shows. Yang Jinlong, 45, is an experienced Shaanxi kuaiban artist. He first learned the art at the age of 9. Before that, he often went with his father, an amateur performer, to watch kuaiban performances. “As a young boy, I was attracted to the art form because many of the stories are about heroes. The performer tells stories while playing kuaiban, and it’s easy for the audience to remember the stories since all the lines rhyme,” Yang said. He has practiced Shaanxi kuaiban for more than 30 years. Since 2003, he has been teaching the art form to young people. At 9 am on weekdays, he drives to primary and middle schools in Xi’an and teaches students about Shaanxi kuaiban until about 6 pm. Then, he returns home to prepare classes for the next day. On the weekends, he teaches for six hours each day at art education institutions in Xi’an. Yang has made some adaptations to the art form to relate more to students. When he tells modern stories, Yang abandons the traditional gown and wears a suit. He also integrates many pop elements like tap dance, ballet, jazz dance and the rhythm of popular music into kuaiban performances. His stories focus on more trendy topics, like stories of heroes who have worked to alleviate poverty (扶贫), as well as the Chinese Olympic team. “Art education is important for students in China. Just as many students learn to play Western musical instruments like the piano and violin, there are many people learning traditional Chinese folk arts, including Shaanxi kuaiban. They are committed and passionate,” Yang said. 8. What do we know about Shaanxi kuaiban? A. It dates back to the late Ming Dynasty. B. People perform it in Shaanxi dialect. C. It was originally used by teachers for teaching. D. It focuses on Chinese ancient literature. 9. Why was Yang Jin long fascinated by Shaanxi kuaiban as a child? A. Because all the lines rhyme. B. Because he liked stories about heroes. C. Because it was away to earn money. D. Because he wanted to be like his father. 10. What did Yang Jin long do to promote Shaanxi kuaiban? A. He wore local clothes of Shaanxi. B. He told stories about superheroes. C. He added pop elements to performances. D. He performed Shaanxi kuaiban in We stem countries. 11. Which of the following best describes Yang Jin long? A. Talented and modest. B. Patient and capable. C. Determined and creative. D. Humorous and responsible. 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. C 11.

With parts of England as hot as the Champagne region of France was in the 1980s, the sparkling-wine industry is already bubbling. Longer sunny periods will make it easier for British winemakers to make quality wines. A recent study from the London School of Economics finds that climate change is also expanding the area in England suitable for making wine. Most vineyards (葡萄园) are in south-east England but more land as far north as the east Midlands could come into use. Alistair Nesbitt, the study’s lead author, says that by 2040 higher temperatures may also allow winemakers to grow more disease-resistant varieties of grapes. As a result, a mini land rush is under way. According to Strutt & Parker, a consultancy, Britain has over 900 vineyards, up by 80% in the past five years. Essex, Sussex and Kent are of most interest to winemakers. This summer Jackson Family Wines, an American firm, became the first big maker of wines to invest in England; it plans to acquire around 26 hectares (公顷) in Essex. London clay, a mud found in high concentrations in the county, is ideal for producing bold red wine. Nick Watson of Strutt & Parker says that the prices of established vineyards have increased sharply and that land suitable for viticulture (葡萄栽培) now sells for £40,000-50,000 per hectare. Such prices pale next to those in famed wine regions abroad: in Bordeaux land can fetch over £1.6m a hectare. The difference has little to do with the quality of the soil and much to do with a region’s reputation. Other aspects of climate change are less welcome for winemakers. A year of heavy rain or severe drought could destroy entire crops. John Atkinson, a winemaker in Essex, says that making good wine all comes down to the soil, the weather and the barrel. “Growing grapes in this country is a bit like playing cricket,” he says, “There are so many ways to be out.” 12. According to the first two paragraphs, climate change has led to __________. A. a change in the nutrition of grapes B. the expansion of suitable land for vineyards C. longer sunny periods in the Champagne region D. improved skills of British winemakers in wine making 13. The author uses the example of Jackson Family Wines in paragraph 3 to show __________. A. London clay is ideal for grape growth B. Essex is the best place for wine making C. investments in vineyards in England are increasing D. the global wine market is experiencing significant growth 14. What does the underlined word “pale” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Drop sharply. B. Appear more obvious. C. Look normal. D. Seem less impressive. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Rise of English Viticulture B. Invest in the UK Wine Industry C. Sing the Praises of Climate Change D. Growing Popularity of British Wines 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了气候变化扩大了英国适合酿酒的地区，同时也导致适合种植葡萄园的土地扩大。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据前两段内容尤其是第二段“A recent study from the London School of Economics finds that climate change is also expanding the area in England suitable for making wine. Most vineyards (葡萄园) are in south-east England but more land as far north as the east Midlands could come into use. ”（伦敦经济学院最近的一项研究发现，气候变化也扩大了英国适合酿酒的地区。大多数葡萄园都在英格兰东南部，但更多的土地，甚至远至北部的英格兰中部东部，都可以投入使用。）可知，根据前两段内容，我们可以了解到气候变化导致适合种植葡萄园的土地扩大。故选B项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“As a result, a mini land rush is under way. According to Strutt & Parker, a consultancy, Britain has over 900 vineyards, up by 80% in the past five years. Essex, Sussex and Kent are of most interest to winemakers. This summer Jackson Family Wines, an American firm, became the first big maker of wines to invest in England; it plans to acquire around 26 hectares (公顷) in Essex. London clay, a mud found in high concentrations in the county, is ideal for producing bold red wine.”（因此，一场小规模的土地抢购正在进行。据咨询公司Strutt & Parker称，英国有超过900个葡萄园，在过去五年中增长了80%。酿酒师最感兴趣的是埃塞克斯、苏塞克斯和肯特。今年夏天，美国的杰克逊家族葡萄酒公司成为第一家在英国投资的大型葡萄酒制造商；该公司计划在埃塞克斯收购约26公顷土地。伦敦粘土是一种高浓度的泥土，是酿造烈性红酒的理想原料。）可推知，作者在第三段中以杰克逊家族葡萄酒公司为例，是为了说明对英国葡萄园的投资正在增加。故选C项。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“Nick Watson of Strutt & Parker says that the prices of established vineyards have increased sharply and that land suitable for viticulture (葡萄栽培) now sells for £40,000-50,000 per hectare.”（Strutt&Parker的Nick Watson表示，成熟葡萄园的价格急剧上涨，适合葡萄栽培的土地现在每公顷售价为4-5万英镑。）和划线单词句中“in Bordeaux land can fetch over £1.6m a hectare.”（在波尔多，每公顷土地可以卖到160多万英镑。）以及下文“The difference has little to do with the quality of the soil and much to do with a region’s reputation.”（这种差异与土壤质量没有多大关系，而与一个地区的声誉有很大关系。）由此可知，此处为与国外著名的葡萄酒产区相比，这样的价格相形见绌。故可猜测第四段中划线的“pale”意思为“看起来没那么令人印象深刻”。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第二段“A recent study from the London School of Economics finds that climate change is also expanding the area in England suitable for making wine. Most vineyards (葡萄园) are in south-east England but more land as far north as the east Midlands could come into use. ”（伦敦经济学院最近的一项研究发现，气候变化也扩大了英国适合酿酒的地区。大多数葡萄园都在英格兰东南部，但更多的土地，甚至远至北部的英格兰中部东部，都可以投入使用。）可知，文章主要讲的是气候变化扩大了英国适合酿酒的地区，同时也导致适合种植葡萄园的土地扩大。故文章最好的标题是“英国葡萄栽培的兴起”。故选A项。 Why do some people feel obliged to do the craziest things, while most of us are happy to sit on the sofa and watch their exploits on TV? Robin Styles ponders(考虑)this question. Generally, we love to watch someone's bravery and drama--a single person against the wilds of nature, testing their endurance beyond belief. And our pleasure is greater because we live a comfortable and increasingly risk-free life, where the greatest test of endurance is getting to work through the rush hour. ____16____However, there are countless ways to test the limits of your endurance, if you should wish to do so, by attempting something unpleasant, uncomfortable or just plain dangerous. American Lynne Cox swims in sub-zero temperatures through the planet's most dangerous oceans wearing only a swimsuit--for fun! According to Lynne, there is always something driving her on. At age 9, when she was swimming in an outdoor pool one day, a violent storm blew up, but she refused to get out of the pool. Something make her carry on. Then she realized that, as the water got colder and rougher, she was actually getting faster and warmer, and she was really enjoying it. At age 14, she broke her first endurance record. Years later, experts discovered that Lynne has a totally even layer of body fat, like a seal. ____17____. The famous British explorer, Sir Ranulph Fiennes, has led many major expeditions (远征) in the extreme cold, including walking right round the Arctic Circle. He has also led expeditions in the extreme heat, and discovered the Lost City of Ubar in the Omani desert. ____18____Sir Fiennes has said, "If I am getting sick, I find a very powerful way of conquering it is to know that my father would have definitely done it." ____19____There is probably no such thing as a "normal" adventurer. Unsurprisingly, risk-takers tend to be single-minded and unusually determined people who hate the stability and routine that most people prefer. They tend to take risks for the "fun" of it. The excitement becomes addictive, and they want more and more of it. Ordinary life seems boring in comparison. A. She is perfectly made for doing what she does, it seems. B. Adventurers are clearly different from the rest of us. C. What she did was really beyond our imagination. D. It seems that many adventurers spend their lives trying to live up to the image of a parent. E. And most of us would prefer it to remain that way. F. Many adventurers have amazed the world with their extraordinary skills. 【答案】16. E 17. A 18. D 19. B 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇社会类短文阅读。文章主要讲述了一些人喜欢以冒险为乐趣。 【16题详解】 根据前句And our pleasure is greater because we live a comfortable and increasingly risk-free life, where the greatest test of endurance is getting to work through the rush hour.我们过着一种舒适的、越来越没有风险的生活，和后面的转折可知，我们大多数人都希望保持这种舒适的状态。故选E。 【17题详解】 根据本段及前句Years later, experts discovered that Lynne has a totally even layer of body fat, like a seal.可知，琳·考克斯就像海豹一样脂肪层完全均匀，似乎天生就适合做她所做的事情。故选A。 【18题详解】 根据后句Sir Fiennes has said, "If I am getting sick, I find a very powerful way of conquering it is to know that my father would have definitely done it." 费因斯爵士曾说过：“如果我生病了，我发现一种非常强大的战胜它的方法就是知道我父亲肯定会这么做。”，从而可以推断出，很多冒险家都是为了不辜负父母的期望。故选D。 【19题详解】 根据后句There is probably no such thing as a "normal" adventurer.可能没有所谓的“正常”冒险家，可知，冒险家显然不同于我们其他人。故选B。 三、完形填空 Along the hallway (走廊), I saw mixed expressions on the faces of my students: excited, nervous, and worried.

Elizabeth had been practising her speech for a week. She’d presented flowers to the dog, the cat, and the statue in the garden. Part of her couldn’t wait. This Saturday, the great Ana Wolff, famous pianist, would perform at the concert hall in town. For four years, Elizabeth had taken piano lessons. She’d listened to Ms. Wolff’s recordings over and over again, loving the way the notes tumbled like a rushing mountain stream. Part of Elizabeth was terrified. Her music teacher at school, Mr. Leaf, had asked Elizabeth to present the flowers to Ms. Wolff after the performance. Why did he have to choose her? Elizabeth hated oral reports, plays at the synagogue—anything where she had to talk in front of people. Some of her classmates liked giving speeches. Myron gave a speech every time Mr. Leaf called on him. Melissa always volunteered to make announcements. Let one of them present the flowers! “How’s the speech coming?” asked Elizabeth’s mother from the back door. “Want to practise on me?” “No, thanks,” said Elizabeth. “Mum, I can’t do this! I’ll forget. I might even pass out!” “No, you won’t, honey. Think about it... sharing the stage with Ana Wolff. What an honour!” “Not if I do something dumb.” But Elizabeth kept practising. ”Beautiful flowers for a beautiful performance...“ Then the big day when Ms. Wolff gave a concert finally came. Elizabeth and her mother took their seats. She held a bunch of red roses. “All set, Elizabeth?” Mr. Leaf asked. Her stomach tightened, but she nodded at him. Mum squeezed Elizabeth’s hand. 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。 Paragraph 1: As the lights dimmed, Ms. Wolff walked onstage and bowed, smiling. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Ms. Wolff smiled and bowed again before she was about to walk offstage. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: As the lights dimmed, Ms. Wolff walked onstage and bowed, smiling. Ms. Wolff strode briskly to the piano and took her seat. She placed her fingers on the piano keys and began to play. People enjoyed the wonderful music as Ms. Wolff’s fingers danced across the keys. After each piece, the audience clapped loudly. Drown in the music, Elizabeth forgot the speech for a while. The moment Ms Wolff finished her last piece, applause thundered through the hall. People rose and cheered. Paragraph 2: Ms Wolff smiled and bowed again before she was about to walk offstage. It was time to present the flowers. Elizabeth felt nervous with her heart beating fast and her legs shaking. Mum urged Elizabeth, “Now!” Clutching the roses, Elizabeth approached Ms. Wolff. She took a deep breath, gathered her courage and handed the roses to Ana Wolff. “Beaut…Beautiful flowers for a beautiful performance!” she said. The audience cheered again. Unexpectedly, Ms Wolff hugged Elizabeth and smiled, “Thank you!” Elizabeth felt warm and relieved. It was really an honor, she thought. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Elizabeth要给自己喜爱的钢琴家献花，坚持每天练习要说的话，到了音乐会当天，虽然Elizabeth非常紧张，但还是最终完成了献花。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“灯光暗下来，Wolff女士走上台，微笑着鞠躬”可知，第一段可描写沃尔夫演奏的过程以及人们的反应。 ②由第二段首句内容“Wolff女士微笑着再次鞠躬，然后准备离开舞台”可知，第二段可描写Elizabeth献花的经过和Wolff的反应。 2.续写线索：Wolff上台——演奏——完成——献花——紧张——感谢 3.词汇激活 行为类 放置：place/put 开始：begin/start 欣赏：enjoy/admire 情绪类 紧张：nervous / tense 意外：unexpectedly / all of a sudden 【点睛】[高分句型1] People enjoyed the wonderful music as Ms. Wolff’s fingers danced across the keys.
