He had the first small pond dug; later on the pond was enlarged to its present-day size.

B For three decades, Camilleri, a Canadian fashion designer, had made a name for herself dressing A-listers. Her beautiful, delicate styles from leather, to evening wear, to custom other showed in the covers of the hottest magazines. But when Turnbull — a well-known journalist and wheelchair user since a terrible accident left her quadriplegic (四肢瘫痪者)in 1983 — approached her to design stylish, comfortable clothes to fit her body through the seasons, Camilleri realized her real calling was to help bring fashion to a completely under-served community. “I had no idea that someone in a chair had any different clothing needs than you or I,” says the designer. “The world was my market because nobody had ever done this before.” In 2004 Camilleri opened a boutique (精品店) specially for people who use wheelchairs. “Everything we do, the starting point is from a seated frame. So what happens when you’re sitting? What happens to the clothes? Where are they getting together?” Camilleri explains. “We literally had to recreate the patterns to accommodate a seated frame.” Her custom creations have changed lives. Winkelaar has been in a wheelchair since a car accident two weeks before his fourth birthday. Until he met Camilleri, he lacked confidence in his appearance and was afraid of entering the clothing stores because he had trouble finding trousers that fit properly. Salah has spastic cerebral palsy (痉挛性脑瘫). She says clothing stores are always daunting places full of pieces out of reach. Salah says she carries herself differently now and she is more confident in her appearance. Being able to have access to fashionable functional clothing gives her a lot of dignity. “Camilleri’s pieces are now part of an exhibit at the Royal Ontario Museum, and her success in a new rare market has not gone unnoticed in the mainstream fashion world. She is a truly brilliant technician. She puts fashion and confidence within reach of the disabled,” Canadian television personality and fashion critic Jeanne Beker says. 4. What drives Camilleri to open a boutique? A. Seeking fame. B. Making a profit. C. Providing service. D. Meeting a challenge. 5. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “daunting” in paragraph 4? A. Inspiring. B. Frightening. C. Striking. D. Comforting. 6. What message does Beker want to convey in the last paragraph? A. Camilleri is a highly original thinker. B. Camilleri is a productive market advisor. C. Camilleri is a critical technician leader. D. Camilleri is a successful fashion innovator. 7. Which of the following can best describe Camilleri? A. Caring and visionary. B. Ambitious and hardworking. C. Creative and stubborn. D. Determined and conventional. C A group of giraffes moves elegantly across a wide-open Kenyan plain. Their long necks stretch high, swinging gently with each graceful step. The sun bathes the landscape in a golden colour, casting long shadows over the grass. In the distance, the snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro rises grandly against the sky. What has led to giraffes’ extraordinary shape? According to Charles Darwin, the neck of 1.8 m benefits them by allowing them to out-reach shorter-necked competitors to feed on green leaves in tall trees; it has become a classic example of evolutionary (进化) theory. But the research from East Africa showed that tall giraffes frequently feed from low-growing bushes and eat faster and more regularly at low heights. This is a surprise for Darwin’s feeding competition idea. Giraffes invest a lot in neck growth. Males continue to grow their necks into old age (about 28), well past the time females stop (around the age of 8). At last, males have long and strong necks, which they use to show off before females as well as fight against enemies. It seems that their necks are more notably used as weapons than for feeding. Is the neck a result of evolution? The answer should date back to their ancestors. In 2022, a group of experts led by a Chinese biologist uncovered one of the smallest known giraffe fossils. This ancient animal, standing about 1.2 m tall, showed a short but strengthened neck and a horned head. That was the earliest known shape of giraffes ever found. They lived some 16.9 million years ago! Today’s giraffes are much larger, with necks longer and horns dramatically reduced. With the necks they can not only eat higher and lower, spot danger earlier, but fight with more power. These all contribute to their survival. Darwin is right. Watching the giraffes gracefully wander across the plain, I am once again in awe of the natural beauty shaped by the power of natural selection. 8. What is the purpose of mentioning the research from East Africa? A. To doubt an established theory. B. To offer an additional example. C. To advocate for common sense. D. To support a questioned belief. 9. What does the author aim to stress about giraffes’ neck growing in paragraph 3? A. The advantage of the males. B. The importance for survival. C. The relation with their ages. D. The difference between genders. 10. What is now the author’s attitude towards Darwin’s theory? A. He is well convinced. B. He is disapproving. C. He is more tolerant. D. He is still cautious. 11. Which can be the best title for the text? A. An Exception to Darwin’s Theory. B. Giraffes and Their Neck Competition. C. The Problem of Giraffe Evolution. D. Nature’s Perfect Design for Giraffes. D Humor plays a great role in helping one deal with stress, anger, fear, anxiety and other difficult emotions. Sometimes, that means purposefully shoring up defenses against hard times to come. Other times it can mean laughing when you want to cry, or cracking an illogical joke when it feels like the sky is falling and Earth is on fire. To psychologists, humor is an unconscious coping mechanism, a kind of strategic behavior or thought. Not all of these strategies are beneficial: Drinking or overeating, for example, are more dangerous coping mechanisms, whereas humor taps creativity into stress, which can enable a viewpoint shift and block distressing emotions. And of course, there’s the physical reaction of humor: laughter. With it comes better breathing, muscle relaxation and a higher pain tolerance. “The stress is there; you just don’t feel it as much,” says psychologist Sultanoff. Of course, humor isn’t foolproof: Making the wrong joke in the wrong way is just as likely to increase stress and disconnection. Mean-spirited or disparaging (贬低的) humor actually causes people to be further apart and increases division. “Humor can arise during stress without cause or effort to make it. But humor can also be played consciously,” Sultanoff says, adding that he sometimes travels with a clown nose to find fun in life’s everyday routine. “Joyful use of humor builds psychological antibodies (抗体),” he says. But taking up the power of humor doesn’t mean ignoring the negatives. The point is not to never feel difficult emotions. “Stress is there for a reason, and it’s to call your attention to a problem that needs to be solved,” Sultanoff says. “When you experience a negative emotion like sadness or anger or frustration, it’s important to recognize why that’s there.” Turning to humor too soon may prevent someone from processing emotions in a healthy way, increasing stress rather than decreasing it. “By expressing humor you give yourself a break. And we all need a little break,” Sultanoff says. 12. How is humor helpful as a coping mechanism? A. It prevents hard times coming. B. It means an emotional release. C. It generates positive mindsets. D. It inspires artistic creativity. 13. Why does the author talk about laughter? A. To correct a misunderstanding. B. To illustrate an effect of humor. C. To distinguish humor from it. D. To warn the danger of stress. 14. Which of the following is called disparaging humor in paragraph 4? A. Making your friend look stupid. B. Telling a story in a funny way. C. Wearing clown clothes at a party. D. Laughing at your own mistakes. 15. What does Sultanoff think of a difficult emotion? A. It’s something we should avoid. B. It’s a reminder of our problems. C. It draws our attention to humor. D. It gives us a break from routine. 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。 It is far too common that people are caught off guard by a snowstorm or some other attacks of wintry weather.

I wanted to go home and get to sleep. I was moving toward my car when I heard mew, mew, mew, mew. Looking under my car, I found a little cat trembling and crying. When I held her in my arms she seemed that little and sweet. I took her into my car with me. Arriving home very late, I put her in the front yard and left some milk for her, half hoping she would run away by the time morning came. However, in the morning she was still there. I tried to find someone who would take the cat, but all the cat lovers were full up. I still didn’t know what to do with the cat, so I took her to my parents’ house after work. Not long before, my father had been diagnosed with cancer. Though he had been treated and the doctors felt they had pushed down the cancer, I liked to go there as often as I could. That afternoon, parking my car in front of my parents’ house, I was trying to coax (哄)the cat out from under the seat when she raced out of the car and into the neighbors’ bushes. There were a lot of bushes in that neighborhood, and I realized after searching for a while that it was a lost cause to find her in a short time. I felt a bit sad but comforted myself that this area had many families with kids. Surely someone would find her and give her a good home, I told myself. As I was leaving, I told my parents to call me if the cat came around their place and I would come to pick her up. I said to my father, “Of course, you can keep her if you want.” He replied, “Not on your life!” I supposed that Dad wasn’t that interested in having pets, particularly cats. 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。 That night, there was a call on my phone from Dad. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Looking into my eyes, Dad seriously told me how lovely the cat was. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1—5 BACCA 6—10 CBBAC 11—15 CBAAB 16—20 CABAB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 驻马店市2024—2025学年度高三第一学期期末统一考试 英语 注意事项： 1.答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例: How much is the shirt?

But when Turnbull — a well-known journalist and wheelchair user since a terrible accident left her quadriplegic (四肢瘫痪者)in 1983 — approached her to design stylish, comfortable clothes to fit her body through the seasons, Camilleri realized her real calling was to help bring fashion to a completely under-served community. “I had no idea that someone in a chair had any different clothing needs than you or I,” says the designer. “The world was my market because nobody had ever done this before.” In 2004 Camilleri opened a boutique (精品店) specially for people who use wheelchairs. “Everything we do, the starting point is from a seated frame. So what happens when you’re sitting? What happens to the clothes? Where are they getting together?” Camilleri explains. “We literally had to recreate the patterns to accommodate a seated frame.” Her custom creations have changed lives. Winkelaar has been in a wheelchair since a car accident two weeks before his fourth birthday. Until he met Camilleri, he lacked confidence in his appearance and was afraid of entering the clothing stores because he had trouble finding trousers that fit properly. Salah has spastic cerebral palsy (痉挛性脑瘫). She says clothing stores are always daunting places full of pieces out of reach. Salah says she carries herself differently now and she is more confident in her appearance. Being able to have access to fashionable functional clothing gives her a lot of dignity. “Camilleri’s pieces are now part of an exhibit at the Royal Ontario Museum, and her success in a new rare market has not gone unnoticed in the mainstream fashion world. She is a truly brilliant technician. She puts fashion and confidence within reach of the disabled,” Canadian television personality and fashion critic Jeanne Beker says. 4. What drives Camilleri to open a boutique? A. Seeking fame. B. Making a profit. C. Providing service. D. Meeting a challenge. 5. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “daunting” in paragraph 4? A. Inspiring. B. Frightening. C. Striking. D. Comforting. 6. What message does Beker want to convey in the last paragraph? A. Camilleri is a highly original thinker. B. Camilleri is a productive market advisor. C. Camilleri is a critical technician leader. D. Camilleri is a successful fashion innovator. 7. Which of the following can best describe Camilleri? A. Caring and visionary. B. Ambitious and hardworking. C. Creative and stubborn. D. Determined and conventional. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了加拿大时装设计师卡米列里为四肢瘫痪者等行动不便者设计时尚舒适的衣服，并开设精品店，改变了他们的生活，在主流时尚界也获得了认可。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“But when Turnbull — a well-known journalist and wheelchair user since a terrible accident left her quadriplegic (四肢瘫痪者) in 1983 — approached her to design stylish, comfortable clothes to fit her body through the seasons, Camilleri realized her real calling was to help bring fashion to a completely under-served community.(但是，当特恩布尔——一位著名的记者，自1983年一场可怕的事故导致她四肢瘫痪后一直使用轮椅——找到她，让她设计时尚、舒适的衣服，以适应她一年四季的身体变化时，卡米列里意识到她真正的使命是帮助把时尚带给一个完全没有得到充分服务的群体。)”可知，是特恩布尔让卡米列里意识到了四肢瘫痪者等行动不便者对服装有特殊需求，并且这个市场是空白的，所以她决定为他们提供服务，开一家精品店。故选C。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据上文“Salah has spastic cerebral palsy (痉挛性脑瘫).(萨拉(Salah)患有痉挛性脑瘫。)”和下文“Salah says she carries herself differently now and she is more confident in her appearance. Being able to have access to fashionable functional clothing gives her a lot of dignity.( 萨拉表示，现在的她举止不同了，对自己的外表也更有自信。能够穿上既时尚又实用的衣服，让她感受到了极大的尊严。”)”可知，之前服装店总是Salah她感到畏惧，因为那里的衣服总是高高挂起，遥不可及。由此可知，daunting意为“令人畏惧的，令人害怕的”。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Camilleri’s pieces are now part of an exhibit at the Royal Ontario Museum, and her success in a new rare market has not gone unnoticed in the mainstream fashion world. She is a truly brilliant technician. She puts fashion and confidence within reach of the disabled.(卡米列里的作品现在是安大略皇家博物馆展览的一部分，她在新的稀有市场上的成功在主流时尚界也并非没有被注意到。她是一位真正才华横溢的技术人员。她让残疾人也能够接触到时尚和自信。)”可知，贝克尔想表达的是卡米列里在时尚界取得了成功，是一位成功的时尚创新者。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“But when Turnbull — a well-known journalist and wheelchair user since a terrible accident left her quadriplegic (四肢瘫痪者) in 1983 — approached her to design stylish, comfortable clothes to fit her body through the seasons, Camilleri realized her real calling was to help bring fashion to a completely under-served community.(但当特恩布尔Turnbull)——一位自1983年一场可怕的事故导致她四肢瘫痪后便一直使用轮椅的知名记者——找到卡米莱里，希望她能为自己设计一些既时尚又舒适、能适应四季变化的衣服时，卡米莱里意识到自己真正的使命是帮助这个长期被忽视的群体接触时尚。)”以及“In 2004 Camilleri opened a boutique (精品店) specially for people who use wheelchairs.( 2004年，卡米莱里开了一家精品店，专门为使用轮椅的人服务。)”可知，她为四肢瘫痪者等行动不便者设计时尚舒适的衣服，并开设精品店，改变了他们的生活，由此可知，她是一个有爱心的人；根据第二段“The world was my market because nobody had ever done this before.(整个世界都是我的市场，因为从来没有人做过这件事。)”可知，她看到了这个市场是空白的，所以她决定开一家精品店，这说明她是一个有远见的人。故选A。 C A group of giraffes moves elegantly across a wide-open Kenyan plain. Their long necks stretch high, swinging gently with each graceful step. The sun bathes the landscape in a golden colour, casting long shadows over the grass. In the distance, the snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro rises grandly against the sky. What has led to giraffes’ extraordinary shape? According to Charles Darwin, the neck of 1.8 m benefits them by allowing them to out-reach shorter-necked competitors to feed on green leaves in tall trees; it has become a classic example of evolutionary (进化) theory. But the research from East Africa showed that tall giraffes frequently feed from low-growing bushes and eat faster and more regularly at low heights. This is a surprise for Darwin’s feeding competition idea. Giraffes invest a lot in neck growth. Males continue to grow their necks into old age (about 28), well past the time females stop (around the age of 8). At last, males have long and strong necks, which they use to show off before females as well as fight against enemies. It seems that their necks are more notably used as weapons than for feeding. Is the neck a result of evolution? The answer should date back to their ancestors. In 2022, a group of experts led by a Chinese biologist uncovered one of the smallest known giraffe fossils. This ancient animal, standing about 1.2 m tall, showed a short but strengthened neck and a horned head. That was the earliest known shape of giraffes ever found. They lived some 16.9 million years ago! Today’s giraffes are much larger, with necks longer and horns dramatically reduced. With the necks they can not only eat higher and lower, spot danger earlier, but fight with more power. These all contribute to their survival. Darwin is right. Watching the giraffes gracefully wander across the plain, I am once again in awe of the natural beauty shaped by the power of natural selection. 8. What is the purpose of mentioning the research from East Africa? A. To doubt an established theory. B. To offer an additional example. C. To advocate for common sense. D. To support a questioned belief. 9. What does the author aim to stress about giraffes’ neck growing in paragraph 3? A. The advantage of the males. B. The importance for survival. C. The relation with their ages. D. The difference between genders. 10. What is now the author’s attitude towards Darwin’s theory? A. He is well convinced. B. He is disapproving. C He is more tolerant. D. He is still cautious. 11. Which can be the best title for the text? A. An Exception to Darwin’s Theory. B. Giraffes and Their Neck Competition. C. The Problem of Giraffe Evolution. D. Nature’s Perfect Design for Giraffes. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍长颈鹿颈部进化之谜，探讨其颈部增长与生存策略、性别差异之间的关系，以及达尔文进化论在此中的体现与挑战。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“According to Charles Darwin, the neck of 1.8 m benefits them by allowing them to out-reach shorter-necked competitors to feed on green leaves in tall trees; it has become a classic example of evolutionary (进化) theory. But the research from East Africa showed that tall giraffes frequently feed from low-growing bushes and eat faster and more regularly at low heights. This is a surprise for Darwin’s feeding competition idea.(根据查尔斯·达尔文的观点，1.8米长的脖子让长颈鹿在觅食高树绿叶时比短脖子的竞争者更有优势；这已成为进化论的一个经典例证。但东非的研究显示，高大的长颈鹿经常从低矮灌木中觅食，而且在低处进食更快、更频繁。这对于达尔文的觅食竞争理论来说是一个意外。)”可知，东非的研究结果显示，高大的长颈鹿经常从矮灌木上觅食，并且在低高度吃得更快、更频繁，这与达尔文的进食竞争理论相矛盾。因此，提到东非的研究是为了质疑已建立的理论。故选A项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Giraffes invest a lot in neck growth. Males continue to grow their necks into old age (about 28), well past the time females stop (around the age of 8). At last, males have long and strong necks, which they use to show off before females as well as fight against enemies. It seems that their necks are more notably used as weapons than for feeding.(长颈鹿在颈部生长上投入很多。雄性持续生长颈部直至老年（约28岁），远超雌性停止生长的时间（约8岁）。最后，雄性拥有长而强壮的颈部，它们用颈部在雌性面前展示，并与敌人战斗。似乎它们的颈部更多是用作武器，而非用来进食。)”可知，长颈鹿在脖子的生长上投入了很多，雄性长颈鹿的脖子不仅长而且强壮，它们用脖子在雌性面前炫耀以及对抗敌人。这表明，长脖子对长颈鹿的生存非常重要。因此，作者在第三段中强调了长脖子对长颈鹿生存的重要性。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“With the necks they can not only eat higher and lower, spot danger earlier, but fight with more power. These all contribute to their survival. Darwin is right. Watching the giraffes gracefully wander across the plain, I am once again in awe of the natural beauty shaped by the power of natural selection.(有了长颈，它们不仅能吃到更高和更低处的食物，还能更早发现危险，并且更有力量战斗。这些全都有助于它们的生存。达尔文是对的。看着长颈鹿优雅地漫步在平原上，我再次对自然选择塑造的自然之美感到敬畏。)”可知，长脖子使长颈鹿能够吃更高和更低的食物，更早发现危险，并且以更大的力量战斗，这些都有助于它们的生存。作者认为达尔文是对的，并对自然选择塑造的自然之美感到敬畏。因此，作者对达尔文理论的态度是完全信服的。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“A group of giraffes moves elegantly across a wide-open Kenyan plain. Their long necks stretch high, swinging gently with each graceful step. The sun bathes the landscape in a golden colour, casting long shadows over the grass. In the distance, the snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro rises grandly against the sky.(一群长颈鹿优雅地行进在开阔的肯尼亚平原上。它们的长脖子高高伸起，随着每一步优雅的步伐轻轻摆动。阳光给这片风景镀上一层金色，在草地上投下长长的影子。远处，戴着雪冠的乞力马扎罗山在天空下雄伟地耸立着。)”、第二段“According to Charles Darwin, the neck of 1.8 m benefits them by allowing them to out-reach shorter-necked competitors to feed on green leaves in tall trees; it has become a classic example of evolutionary (进化) theory. But the research from East Africa showed that tall giraffes frequently feed from low-growing bushes and eat faster and more regularly at low heights.

Sometimes, that means purposefully shoring up defenses against hard times to come. Other times it can mean laughing when you want to cry, or cracking an illogical joke when it feels like the sky is falling and Earth is on fire. To psychologists, humor is an unconscious coping mechanism, a kind of strategic behavior or thought. Not all of these strategies are beneficial: Drinking or overeating, for example, are more dangerous coping mechanisms, whereas humor taps creativity into stress, which can enable a viewpoint shift and block distressing emotions. And of course, there’s the physical reaction of humor: laughter. With it comes better breathing, muscle relaxation and a higher pain tolerance. “The stress is there; you just don’t feel it as much,” says psychologist Sultanoff. Of course, humor isn’t foolproof: Making the wrong joke in the wrong way is just as likely to increase stress and disconnection. Mean-spirited or disparaging (贬低的) humor actually causes people to be further apart and increases division. “Humor can arise during stress without cause or effort to make it. But humor can also be played consciously,” Sultanoff says, adding that he sometimes travels with a clown nose to find fun in life’s everyday routine. “Joyful use of humor builds psychological antibodies (抗体),” he says. But taking up the power of humor doesn’t mean ignoring the negatives. The point is not to never feel difficult emotions. “Stress is there for a reason, and it’s to call your attention to a problem that needs to be solved,” Sultanoff says. “When you experience a negative emotion like sadness or anger or frustration, it’s important to recognize why that’s there.” Turning to humor too soon may prevent someone from processing emotions in a healthy way, increasing stress rather than decreasing it. “By expressing humor you give yourself a break. And we all need a little break,” Sultanoff says. 12. How is humor helpful as a coping mechanism? A. It prevents hard times coming. B. It means an emotional release. C. It generates positive mindsets. D. It inspires artistic creativity. 13. Why does the author talk about laughter? A. To correct a misunderstanding. B. To illustrate an effect of humor. C. To distinguish humor from it. D. To warn the danger of stress. 14. Which of the following is called disparaging humor in paragraph 4? A. Making your friend look stupid. B. Telling a story in a funny way. C. Wearing clown clothes at a party. D. Laughing at your own mistakes. 15. What does Sultanoff think of a difficult emotion? A. It’s something we should avoid. B. It’s a reminder of our problems. C. It draws our attention to humor. D. It gives us a break from routine. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讨论了幽默的作用，然后进一步从心理学家的角度来看幽默是在哪个层面上发挥作用。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Drinking or overeating, for example, are more dangerous coping mechanisms, whereas humor taps creativity into stress, which can enable a viewpoint shift and block distressing emotions.(例如，饮酒或暴饮暴食是更危险的应对机制，而幽默则能够将创造力融入压力之中，这可能会带来视角的转变，并阻断痛苦的情绪)”可知，幽默可以改变看问题的视角，抑制令人痛苦的情绪。由此推知，幽默的作用主要是树立积极的心态。故选C项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“With it comes better breathing, muscle relaxation and a higher pain tolerance. (随之而来的是更顺畅的呼吸、肌肉放松以及更高的疼痛耐受性)”可推知，作者本段谈到laughter的积极作用，是为了进一步阐述幽默的积极作用。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Of course, humor isn’t foolproof: Making the wrong joke in the wrong way is just as likely to increase stress and disconnection. Mean-spirited or disparaging (贬低的) humor actually causes people to be further apart and increases division. (当然，幽默并不是万能的：在错误的时机讲错误的笑话，同样可能增加压力和疏离感。带有恶意或贬损性的幽默实际上会导致人们之间的距离进一步拉大，并加剧分裂)”可推知，让你的朋友看起来很蠢是一种贬低性幽默。故选A项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“When you experience a negative emotion like sadness or anger or frustration, it’s important to recognize why that’s there. (当你体验到悲伤、愤怒或挫败感等负面情绪时，重要的是要认识到这些情绪产生的原因)”可推知，Sultanof认为，difficult emotions让我们认识到我们的问题，这就是difficult emotions的价值。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。 It is far too common that people are caught off guard by a snowstorm or some other attacks of wintry weather.

I wanted to go home and get to sleep. I was moving toward my car when I heard mew, mew, mew, mew. Looking under my car, I found a little cat trembling and crying. When I held her in my arms, she seemed that little and sweet. I took her into my car with me. Arriving home very late, I put her in the front yard and left some milk for her, half hoping she would run away by the time morning came. However, in the morning she was still there. I tried to find someone who would take the cat, but all the cat lovers were full up. I still didn’t know what to do with the cat, so I took her to my parents’ house after work. Not long before, my father had been diagnosed with cancer. Though he had been treated and the doctors felt they had pushed down the cancer, I liked to go there as often as I could. That afternoon, parking my car in front of my parents’ house, I was trying to coax (哄)the cat out from under the seat when she raced out of the car and into the neighbors’ bushes. There were a lot of bushes in that neighborhood, and I realized after searching for a while that it was a lost cause to find her in a short time. I felt a bit sad but comforted myself that this area had many families with kids. Surely someone would find her and give her a good home, I told myself. As I was leaving, I told my parents to call me if the cat came around their place and I would come to pick her up. I said to my father, “Of course, you can keep her if you want.” He replied, “Not on your life!” I supposed that Dad wasn’t that interested in having pets, particularly cats. 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。 That night, there was a call on my phone from Dad. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Looking into my eyes, Dad seriously told me how lovely the cat was. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 That night, there was a call on my phone from Dad. Dad told me the cat showed up on their front doorstep and that he had her in the house. “She is okay, but could you come to pick her up tomorrow?” Dad said. My heart sank. I didn’t have the heart to take her to the animal shelter, and I couldn’t see a solution. The next day, when I reached Dad’s home, unexpectedly, I found he was petting the cat with cat food and a little dish aside. Looking into my eyes, Dad seriously told me how lovely the cat was. “Maybe I can keep her till you find her a home,” Dad added, leaving me open-mouthed. As the weeks went on, Dad got weaker because his cancer had reappeared. Yet whenever I called Dad, I heard more and more about how cute the cat was and how she followed him everywhere. The little cat evidently became one of my father’s single greatest comforts in his suffering days. I didn’t realize on that unusual night that I was simply a messenger, delivering a most needed friend to my father. 【解析】 【导语】文章以猫为线索展开，讲述了作者在一个夜晚发现一只流浪小猫，并将其带回家中，但希望它能自行离开。次日小猫仍在，作者尝试寻找收养者未果，于是将小猫带到了父母家。在父母家，小猫意外跑丢，作者搜寻无果后，安慰自己这个区域有许多家庭，小猫会被好心人收养。离开时，作者告诉父母如果小猫出现就联系他，并表示父亲如果愿意也可以留下小猫，但父亲表示并不想养宠物猫。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“那天晚上，我的手机响了，是爸爸打来的。”可知，第一段可描写爸爸陈述猫的状况并通知作者将它领走以及作者看到爸爸与猫的互动。 ②由第二段首句内容“爸爸看着我的眼睛，认真地告诉我那只猫有多可爱。”可知，第二段可描写爸爸提出留下那只猫并且逐渐爱上猫的过程以及作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：告知猫的状况——要求领走猫——看到爸爸逗猫——爸爸提议留下猫——猫成为爸爸的慰藉——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①出现：show up/turn up ②发现：find/discover ③意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 ①出乎意料地：unexpectedly/surprisingly ②安慰：comfort/consolation 【点睛】[高分句型1] The next day, when I reached Dad’s home, unexpectedly, I found he was petting the cat with cat food and a little dish aside.（运用了when引导的时间状语从句和省略了that的宾语从句） [高分句型2] As the weeks went on, Dad got weaker because his cancer had reappeared.（运用了as引导时间状语从句和because引导原因状语从句） [高分句型3] I didn’t realize on that unusual night that I was simply a messenger, delivering a most needed friend to my father.（运用了that引导的宾语从句和现在分词作状语） 1—5 BACCA 6—10 CBBAC 11—15 CBAAB 16—20 CABAB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
