Let’s explore some! Seeing AI It is a clever app designed to help and support people who are blind or partially sighted, and want to be able to read the world around them. Created by technology company Microsoft, the app uses a phone’s camera to look at signs, banknotes and other forms of text, and read out what they say or are. The app, which Microsoft describes as a “talking camera”, can even recognize friends and describe people around you. Smiling Mind It is an app made in Australia. It helps young people learn about meditation (冥想) and mindfulness, which are ways to focus your thoughts. It’s free, and gives you exercises to practise for 10 minutes a day. The exercises are designed to help with your concentration and stress, and you can use them with your family or friends. TextHear This is an app created for people who are deaf or have hearing loss. It uses the phone’s microphone to listen to conversations, and turn them into text on the screen so people can see what is being said. Its developers say that it is easier than lip-reading (唇读). Besides, it can translate different languages. Colorfy It is a fun “art and digital colouring” app where you tap on different parts of drawings to colour them in. It’s been designed to help you relax and deal with anxious and stressful moments by concentrating on something creative and calming. 1. Why is Seeing AI described as a “talking camera”? A. It can take pictures. B. It can read out what it sees. C. It can recognize voices. D. It can send texts to friends. 2. How does TextHear help deaf people? A. Read their lips. B. Teach different languages. C. Record their talks on video. D. Change spoken words into text. 3. What do Smiling Mind and Colorfy have in common? A. They are paid apps. B. They can reduce stress. C. They offer fun coloring. D. They can build a strong body. B For as long as Paul Ninson can remember, storytelling has been a part of his DNA. Growing up in Kumasi, Ghana, with his grandparents, he was attracted by the historical stories they shared. “I would contribute in some way to telling my own story. I studied arts in school. When I reached university, I studied clothing design but it wasn’t enough for me,” says Ninson. One day, a friend of his retured from the USA with a camera and that is when things began to get interesting. Ninson was introduced to a new world of photography (摄影). At the time, he had a side business designing and printing T-shirts but he decided to close that business and sold his iPhone to buy a camera. To be different from the other Ghanaian photographers, Ninson took some ideas from a book Blue Ocean Strategy. He made a living by taking pictures during events but he knew photojournalism was his true calling. “My content was different and the pictures I was posting was different. That earned me acceptance to one of the best photography schools in New York, the International Center of Photography,” recalls Ninson. All of a sudden, a world of chances opened up to Ninson. He spent his free time at the New York public library among the thousands of books and images. “I saw photos of Africa that I had never seen before, which made me wonder why these images were in America, but not in Africa. That is how the idea of a photo library began.” Today, that small dream has turned into “the biggest photo library in Africa” as Ninson calls it, the Dikan Center, which opened in December last year with 30,000 books. “Now we are more than a library. We have education programs, a story lab, and a community center which is a space to enjoy free internet and resources for everyone to hang out,” says Ninson. 4. What started Ninson’s journey into photography? A. His side business. B. His interest in arts. C. Grandparents’ stories. D. A friend’s influence. 5. What does the underlined word “that” refer to in paragraph 3? A. Uniqueness of his photos. B. His experience during events. C. The book Blue Ocean Strategy. D. Help from other photographers. 6. How did Ninson feel when seeing the photos of Africa in America? A. Excited. B. Confused. C. Lucky. D. Proud. 7. What do we know about the Dikan Center? A. It’s a bookstore for storybooks. B. It’s the biggest library in Africa. C. It has free internet for public use. D. It contains 30,000 photos and images. C Andean bears, known for their image in the movie Paddington, are native to the Andes Mountains. Shy by nature, they usually avoid humans, making them difficult for scientists to study. Listed as endangered by the IUCN, they are threatened by habitat loss, climate change, and influence from humans. The bears can sometimes go after livestock (牲畜), but studies show their threat is not as serious as believed. A family of flowering plants called bromeliads (凤梨) forms a major part of Andean bears’ food, but little is known about their foraging (觅食) behavior across the cloud forest and grassland habitats. In the new study, researchers surveyed two species of bromeliad in mountainous grasslands in and around Peru’s Manu National Park. They recorded the position of each plant and bear feeding signs, such as dug-up or partially eaten bromeliads. GPS-enabled collar (项圈) cameras observed that Andean bears were present at the sites. However, the surveys showed that the bears foraged food in just 16.7 % of the bromeliad areas they could find. Andean bears were more likely to forage in the dry season when young and soft plants were healthier for them to eat. They seldom foraged for bromeliads outside the national park, where livestock feed. Mountainous grasslands next to cloud forest are key habitats for Andean bears, and governments should consider how livestock influence this ecosystem. Although the bears avoided areas with livestock, they did forage in areas where livestock had been kept several years ago. This behavioral adaptability may help them recover lost habitats quickly with specific protection measures, the researchers say. The researchers add: “The data (数据) from the surveys helps us understand the Andean bear and its habitat, and develop more effective protection strategies. The GPS camera collars use little electricity, but we stress one major limitation-the inability to collect information beyond daylight hours. Infrared LED technology will soon solve this problem in years to come.” 8. What makes studying Andean bears difficult? A. They live in the wild. B. They have a special diet. C They avoid human contact. D. They attack people sometimes. 9. What was a finding about Andean bears through GPS-enabled cameras? A. They ate up all the bromeliads. B. They foraged outside the national park. C. They were very picky about their food. D. They were short of food in the dry season. 10. What can be inferred from paragraph 3? A. Andean bears are highly adaptable. B. Andean bears have recovered lost habitats. C. Livestock are mainly from cloud forests. D. Livestock are in harmony with Andean bears. 11. What is the problem with the collars according to the researchers? A. They waste a lot of power. B. They do harm to bears’ health. C. They cannot provide data at night. D. They don’t work in cold temperatures. D What’s the worst kind of sleep for your health: the kind where you keep a right bedtime but wake up every few hours, or the kind where you go to bed late and only get a few hours of shut-eye? Scientists might finally have an answer. Patrick Finan and his team carried out a study comparing the two types of sleep in a group of 62 healthy men and women who were good sleepers. The participants (参与者) spent three days and nights in a sleep lab and answered questions about their mood (情绪) every evening before sleeping. While they slept, the researchers measured their sleep stages (阶段) so they could document when and how much of each stage of sleep, from light to deeper sleep, each volunteer got every night. A third of the group were arranged to be woken up several times a night, another third were not allowed to go to sleep until later but weren’t woken up, and the final group, which acted as the control group, was allowed to sleep without being interrupted (打断) through the night. When Finan compared the three groups’ mood ratings, he found that the interrupted and short sleepers both showed drops in positive mood after the first night. But on the next nights, the interrupted sleepers continued to report diminishing positive feelings while the short sleepers did not — they stayed at about the same level they had reported after the first night. When he studied the brain of interrupted sleepers and short sleepers, he found that those who woke up repeatedly showed less deep sleep that is usually connected with feeling relaxed, than those getting the same sleep but in a continuous time. The finding suggests how everything from stress to anxiety can affect both sleep and mood. You can’t avoid the stresses in your daily life, but you just might be able to lessen the blow with sleep — as long as it’s uninterrupted. 12. How did the researchers measure participants’ sleep stages? A. By asking questions after sleeping. B. By examining their health condition. C. By waking them up from time to time. D. By recording time and length of their sleep. 13. What does the underlined word “diminishing” mean in paragraph 3? A. Falling. B. Disappearing. C. Erupting. D. Growing. 14. What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us? A. Deep sleep has no effect on mood. B. Short sleepers have a smarter brain. C. Interrupted sleepers feel more relaxed. D. Interrupted sleep is worse than short sleep. 15. What can we do with the stresses according to the finding? A. Stay in a good mood. B. Have uninterrupted sleep. C. Keep away from troubles. D. Manage free time properly 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。 I have always been questioning what “success” means for me. ____16____ Many people would think that being successful means being popular, wealthy and famous. But in my own opinion, there are different types of success. There is the social success. It has to do with what most people in society think are important, such as falling in love or getting married or having children. ____17____ So it’s totally okay if someone decides to have their own idea of what success is, even if it’s different from what most people think. ____18____ It’s about reaching the goals in your job or education. Most of those around me view success as a combination (结合) of making enough money while working on a job that they love. Personally, I think that professional success isn’t only wealth and title, but it’s the value that I bring to other people lives. It’s a smiling face, a greener area and a growing organization. ____19____ Moreover, there is the personal success. ____20____ It might be spiritual, or just be comfortable with everything around you. This type of success is just like what Christopher Morley said “There is only one success-to be able to spend your life in your own way”. It’s just allows us to speak up our mind and follow our hearts. Inside peace leads towards happiness, and this could be a success too! A. There is the professional success. B. Going after success requires hard work. C. But different people have different opinions. D. It’s doing what makes me and the world happy. E. This is why we have to choose our own success. F. And I believe that this question is common for everyone. G. It is to be truly happy, and being at peace with ourselves. 第三部分 语言运用（共三节，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。 Brenda sat coloring as her mom watched ballet on TV. “Why do you like ____21____, Mom?” she asked.

I’m really excited because Emily always gives me special birthday gifts, so I want to do something good in return. I decided that, instead of just buying her a gift, I’d bake (烤) her a cake. I’m not a master in the kitchen, but how hard could it be to bake a simple chocolate cake? The day before the party, I went to the store to pick up everything I needed: flour (面粉), sugar, eggs, and, of course, chocolate. I even bought a nice toy to make the cake look beautiful. I was feeling pretty confident. When I got home, I started mixing everything together. It was going smoothly and the kitchen was filled with the sweet smell of baking. But then, disaster struck. I was rushing to get the cake finished, and in a hurry, I took the wrong bag. Without even thinking, I put in what I thought was sugar, but it was actually salt! The cake looked perfect when it came out-golden brown with a shiny top. The smell was so amazing that I couldn’t wait to show it at the party. I imagined everyone was surprised at my baking skills and how impressed Emily would be. But little did I know, my cake was about to become the most memorable birthday cake ever. The next day, I arrived at Emily’s party with the cake. The moment came when we cut the cake. Emily, being the birthday girl, was the first to taste the cake. She carefully cut a piece, and with a big smile, she took the first bite (咬). But then... her expression changed. Her eyes widened for a second, she looked at me, clearly puzzled. “Uh... are you sure this is a cake?” she asked, trying hard not to laugh. 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。 I immediately took a bite myself, and my heart dropped. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ But instead of making me feel worse, Emily just laughed harder. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1-5 CBACB 6-10 ABCBA 11-15 BACCA 16-20 ABCCB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025学年上学期期末质量监测 高一英语 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 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。 1.

B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四个应用程序和网站，可以帮助人们减轻焦虑。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Seeing AI部分中“The app, which Microsoft describes as a “talking camera”, can even recognize friends and describe people around you.(这款应用被微软称为“会说话相机”，它甚至可以识别朋友并描述你周围的人)”可知，将Seeing AI描述为“会说话的相机”因为它能读出它看到的东西。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据TextHear部分中“It uses the phone’s microphone to listen to conversations, and turn them into text on the screen so people can see what is being said.(它使用手机的麦克风来收听对话，并将其转换为屏幕上的文本，以便人们可以看到所说的内容)”可知，TextHear把口语变成文字帮助聋哑人。故选D。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Smiling Mind部分的“The exercises are designed to help with your concentration and stress, and you can use them with your family or friends.(这些练习旨在帮助你集中注意力，缓解压力，你可以和家人或朋友一起练习)”以及最后一段“It’s been designed to help you relax and deal with anxious and stressful moments by concentrating on something creative and calming.(它的设计是为了帮助你放松，通过专注于一些创造性和平静的事情来处理焦虑和紧张的时刻)”可知，两者都可以减轻压力。故选B。 B For as long as Paul Ninson can remember, storytelling has been a part of his DNA.

He spent his free time at the New York public library among the thousands of books and images. “I saw photos of Africa that I had never seen before, which made me wonder why these images were in America, but not in Africa. That is how the idea of a photo library began.” Today, that small dream has turned into “the biggest photo library in Africa” as Ninson calls it, the Dikan Center, which opened in December last year with 30,000 books. “Now we are more than a library. We have education programs, a story lab, and a community center which is a space to enjoy free internet and resources for everyone to hang out,” says Ninson. 4. What started Ninson’s journey into photography? A. His side business. B. His interest in arts. C. Grandparents’ stories. D. A friend’s influence. 5 What does the underlined word “that” refer to in paragraph 3? A. Uniqueness of his photos. B. His experience during events. C. The book Blue Ocean Strategy. D. Help from other photographers. 6. How did Ninson feel when seeing the photos of Africa in America? A. Excited. B. Confused. C. Lucky. D. Proud. 7. What do we know about the Dikan Center? A. It’s a bookstore for storybooks. B. It’s the biggest library in Africa. C. It has free internet for public use. D. It contains 30,000 photos and images. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Paul Ninson如何成为摄影师，并创立非洲最大的照片图书馆。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段中“One day, a friend of his retured from the USA with a camera and that is when things began to get interesting. Ninson was introduced to a new world of photography (摄影). (有一天，他的一个朋友从美国回来，带着一部相机，事情开始变得有趣起来。Ninson被引入了一个全新的摄影世界。)”可知，是朋友从美国带回相机影响了Ninson，让他开始接触摄影。故选D。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。由文章第三段中““My content was different and the pictures I was posting was different. That earned me acceptance to one of the best photography schools in New York, the International Center of Photography,” recalls Ninson. (‘我的内容与众不同，我发布的照片也与众不同。这让我得以进入纽约最好的摄影学校之一——国际摄影中心，’Ninson回忆道。)”可知，that指代的上文“My content was different and the pictures I was posting was different”，即Ninson的照片与众不同，而正是这种独特性让他被纽约最好的摄影学校之一录取，因此，that指代“他的照片的独特性”。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第四段中“I saw photos of Africa that I had never seen before, which made me wonder why these images were in America, but not in Africa. (我看到了以前从未见过的非洲照片，这让我不禁纳闷，为什么这些图像在美国，而不是在非洲。)”可知，当Ninson看到从未见过的非洲照片时，他感到困惑，想知道为什么这些照片在美国而不是在非洲。故选B。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。由文章最后一段中“Today, that small dream has turned into “the biggest photo library in Africa” as Ninson calls it, the Dikan Center, which opened in December last year with 30,000 books. “Now we are more than a library. We have education programs, a story lab, and a community center which is a space to enjoy free internet and resources for everyone to hang out,” says Ninson. (如今，这个小小的梦想已经变成了‘非洲最大的图片库’，尼森称之为‘迪坎中心’（Dikan Center），该中心于去年12月开放，收藏了3万本图书。‘现在我们不仅仅是一个图书馆。我们还有教育项目、故事实验室和一个社区中心，在那里每个人都可以享受免费的互联网和资源，’Ninson说道。)”可知，Dikan Center有供公众免费使用的互联网。故选C。 C Andean bears, known for their image in the movie Paddington, are native to the Andes Mountains. Shy by nature, they usually avoid humans, making them difficult for scientists to study. Listed as endangered by the IUCN, they are threatened by habitat loss, climate change, and influence from humans. The bears can sometimes go after livestock (牲畜), but studies show their threat is not as serious as believed. A family of flowering plants called bromeliads (凤梨) forms a major part of Andean bears’ food, but little is known about their foraging (觅食) behavior across the cloud forest and grassland habitats. In the new study, researchers surveyed two species of bromeliad in mountainous grasslands in and around Peru’s Manu National Park. They recorded the position of each plant and bear feeding signs, such as dug-up or partially eaten bromeliads. GPS-enabled collar (项圈) cameras observed that Andean bears were present at the sites. However, the surveys showed that the bears foraged food in just 16.7 % of the bromeliad areas they could find. Andean bears were more likely to forage in the dry season when young and soft plants were healthier for them to eat. They seldom foraged for bromeliads outside the national park, where livestock feed. Mountainous grasslands next to cloud forest are key habitats for Andean bears, and governments should consider how livestock influence this ecosystem. Although the bears avoided areas with livestock, they did forage in areas where livestock had been kept several years ago. This behavioral adaptability may help them recover lost habitats quickly with specific protection measures, the researchers say. The researchers add: “The data (数据) from the surveys helps us understand the Andean bear and its habitat, and develop more effective protection strategies. The GPS camera collars use little electricity, but we stress one major limitation-the inability to collect information beyond daylight hours. Infrared LED technology will soon solve this problem in years to come.” 8. What makes studying Andean bears difficult? A. They live in the wild. B. They have a special diet. C. They avoid human contact. D. They attack people sometimes. 9. What was a finding about Andean bears through GPS-enabled cameras? A. They ate up all the bromeliads. B. They foraged outside the national park. C. They were very picky about their food. D. They were short of food in the dry season. 10. What can be inferred from paragraph 3? A. Andean bears are highly adaptable. B. Andean bears have recovered lost habitats. C. Livestock are mainly from cloud forests. D. Livestock are in harmony with Andean bears. 11. What is the problem with the collars according to the researchers? A. They waste a lot of power. B. They do harm to bears’ health. C. They cannot provide data at night. D. They don’t work in cold temperatures. 【答案】8. C 9. C 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了安第斯熊这种动物的习性以及研究人员对安第斯熊的研究工作。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Shy by nature, they usually avoid humans, making them difficult for scientists to study.(它们生性害羞，通常会避开人类，这使得科学家很难对它们进行研究)”可知，安第斯熊避免与人接触让研究安第斯熊变得困难。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“GPS-enabled collar (项圈) cameras observed that Andean bears were present at the sites. However, the surveys showed that the bears foraged food in just 16.7 % of the bromeliad areas they could find. Andean bears were more likely to forage in the dry season when young and soft plants were healthier for them to eat. They seldom foraged for bromeliads outside the national park, where livestock feed.(装有GPS的项圈摄像机观察到安第斯熊出现在这些地点。然而，调查显示，熊只在它们能找到的凤梨树区域的16.7%觅食。安第斯熊更有可能在旱季觅食，因为年轻和柔软的植物对它们来说更健康。他们很少在饲养牲畜的国家公园外寻找凤梨花)”可知，GPS摄像头发现安第斯熊对食物很挑剔。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“This behavioral adaptability may help them recover lost habitats quickly with specific protection measures, the researchers say.(研究人员说，这种行为适应性可以帮助它们通过特定的保护措施迅速恢复失去的栖息地)”可知，安第斯熊的适应能力很强。故选A。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The GPS camera collars use little electricity, but we stress one major limitation-the inability to collect information beyond daylight hours.(GPS摄像项圈耗电很少，但我们要强调一个主要的限制——无法在白天以外的时间收集信息)”可知，根据研究人员的说法，项圈不能在夜间提供数据。故选C。 D What’s the worst kind of sleep for your health: the kind where you keep a right bedtime but wake up every few hours, or the kind where you go to bed late and only get a few hours of shut-eye? Scientists might finally have an answer. Patrick Finan and his team carried out a study comparing the two types of sleep in a group of 62 healthy men and women who were good sleepers. The participants (参与者) spent three days and nights in a sleep lab and answered questions about their mood (情绪) every evening before sleeping. While they slept, the researchers measured their sleep stages (阶段) so they could document when and how much of each stage of sleep, from light to deeper sleep, each volunteer got every night. A third of the group were arranged to be woken up several times a night, another third were not allowed to go to sleep until later but weren’t woken up, and the final group, which acted as the control group, was allowed to sleep without being interrupted (打断) through the night. When Finan compared the three groups’ mood ratings, he found that the interrupted and short sleepers both showed drops in positive mood after the first night. But on the next nights, the interrupted sleepers continued to report diminishing positive feelings while the short sleepers did not — they stayed at about the same level they had reported after the first night. When he studied the brain of interrupted sleepers and short sleepers, he found that those who woke up repeatedly showed less deep sleep that is usually connected with feeling relaxed, than those getting the same sleep but in a continuous time. The finding suggests how everything from stress to anxiety can affect both sleep and mood. You can’t avoid the stresses in your daily life, but you just might be able to lessen the blow with sleep — as long as it’s uninterrupted. 12. How did the researchers measure participants’ sleep stages? A. By asking questions after sleeping. B. By examining their health condition. C. By waking them up from time to time. D. By recording time and length of their sleep. 13. What does the underlined word “diminishing” mean in paragraph 3? A. Falling. B. Disappearing. C. Erupting. D. Growing. 14. What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us? A. Deep sleep has no effect on mood. B. Short sleepers have a smarter brain. C. Interrupted sleepers feel more relaxed. D. Interrupted sleep is worse than short sleep. 15. What can we do with the stresses according to the finding? A. Stay in a good mood. B. Have uninterrupted sleep. C. Keep away from troubles. D. Manage free time properly 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了科学家对两种不良睡眠方式研究及其发现。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段中“While they slept, the researchers measured their sleep stages (阶段) so they could document when and how much of each stage of sleep, from light to deeper sleep, each volunteer got every night. (在他们睡觉时，研究人员测量了他们的睡眠阶段，以便记录从浅睡到深睡，每个志愿者每晚每个睡眠阶段的时间和程度)”可知，研究人员是通过记录和测量参与者睡眠的时间和长度来评估他们的睡眠阶段的。故选D。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“But on the next nights, the interrupted sleepers continued to report diminishing positive feelings while the short sleepers did not — they stayed at about the same level they had reported after the first night. (但在接下来的夜晚，中断睡眠者继续报告积极感受diminishing，而短睡眠者的情绪则保持在第一个晚上后所报告的大致水平)”结合while表示对比可知，短睡眠者在第二个晚上的报告和第一个晚上大致相当，而中断睡眠者继续报告积极感受减少。因此，diminishing在此处意为“减少的，下降的”，与Falling“减少，下降”意思相符。故选A。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段中的“When he studied the brain of interrupted sleepers and short sleepers, he found that those who woke up repeatedly showed less deep sleep that is usually connected with feeling relaxed, than those getting the same sleep but in a continuous time.(当他研究睡眠被打断的人和睡眠不足的人的大脑时，他发现那些反复醒来的人比那些连续睡眠但时间相同的人表现出更少的深度睡眠，而深度睡眠通常与放松的感觉有关)”可知，本段主要强调了中断的睡眠对放松和深度睡眠的负面影响，表明它比单纯的睡眠不足更为不利。故选D。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中的“You can’t avoid the stresses in your daily life, but you just might be able to lessen the blow with sleep-as long as it’s uninterrupted. (你无法避免日常生活中的压力，但或许可以通过不间断的睡眠来减轻其影响)”可知，我们可以通过保证不间断的睡眠来应对压力。故选B。 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。 I have always been questioning what “success” means for me. ____16____ Many people would think that being successful means being popular, wealthy and famous.

By being positive about myself and my body, I became much healthier than before. 【答案】36. happier 37 hoping 38. to reach 39. effectively 40. which 41. a 42. fitness 43. cutting 44. and 45. made 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了我们应该保持积极的态度去面对一切。以作者自己为例，作者通过转变思想，认为自己很健康，而不是自己很胖，从而让自己更加健康。 【36题详解】 考查形容词。句意：以我的减肥为例，积极可以让我改变主意，更好地解决问题，让我更快乐。根据上文的better可知，此处用形容词的比较级与上文呼应，表示“更快乐”。故填happier。 【37题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：一开始，我总是想要变得苗条，希望看起来像电视上苗条的女孩，即使我知道这是不可能达到的目标。分析句式结构可知，此处用非谓语动词作状语，又因为hope和I之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词作伴随状语。故填hoping。 【38题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：同上。分析句式结构可知，本句中it是形式主语，此处用提示词的动词不定式形式，作真正主语，表示将来的动作。故填to reach。 【39题详解】 考查副词。句意：我很担心我的体重，尝试了我在网上读到的每一种新的饮食方法，但都没有有效的效果。因为空格前的work是动词，所以用提示词的副词形式effectively，修饰动词work，作状语。故填effectively。 【40题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：然后我读了一篇文章，里面没有问“我胖吗？”。分析句式结构可知，此处是非限制性定语从句，先行词article指物，且从句中缺少主语，所以用关系代词which来引导。故填which。 【41题详解】 考查冠词。句意：我应该问“我健康吗？”我不知道一封信能起如此大的作用。根据空格前的make可知，此处用不定冠词a构成固定短语make a difference表示“起作用”。故填a。 【42题详解】 考查名词。句意：一旦我开始考虑健身而不是体重，事情就开始改变了。根据空格前的介词about可知，此处应该用提示词的名词形式fitness，作介词的宾语。故填fitness。 【43题详解】 考查动名词。句意：我没有减少我喜欢的食物，而是在我的膳食中加入了健康食品。分析句式结构可知，本句空格前的Rather than是介词，所以此处用提示词的动名词形式，作介词的宾语。故填cutting。 【44题详解】 考查连词。句意：最后，我不再和模特比较，也不再寻找我的脸或身体有什么问题。根据上文的comparing with和下文的looking for可知，此处上下文之间是并列顺承关系，应用连词and。故填and。 【45题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：相反，我列出了一个对自己有益的清单。分析句式结构，空格处是谓语动词的位置，再根据上文的stopped可知，句子陈述过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时。故填made。 第三节 单词拼写（共5小题：每小题1分，满分5分） 根据汉语及首字母提示写出单词的正确形式，每空限填一词。 46.

(根据中英文提示单词拼写) 【答案】pretend##retend 【解析】 【详解】考查动词。句意：足球运动员不应该假装摔倒，即使这对他/她的球队有帮助。空前是情态动词，所以空处应填动词原形，根据所给中文提示词和首字母，应是pretend意为“假装”。故填pretend。 48.

(根据中英文提示拼写单词) 【答案】attempt##ttempt 【解析】 【详解】考查动词。句意：为什么埃及政府想要尝试修建阿斯旺大坝？根据汉语提示“尝试”和单词首字母a可知，此处应用动词attempt，位于不定式符号to后，动词用原形。故填attempt。 49.

I’m really excited because Emily always gives me special birthday gifts, so I want to do something good in return. I decided that, instead of just buying her a gift, I’d bake (烤) her a cake. I’m not a master in the kitchen, but how hard could it be to bake a simple chocolate cake? The day before the party, I went to the store to pick up everything I needed: flour (面粉), sugar, eggs, and, of course, chocolate. I even bought a nice toy to make the cake look beautiful. I was feeling pretty confident. When I got home, I started mixing everything together. It was going smoothly and the kitchen was filled with the sweet smell of baking. But then, disaster struck. I was rushing to get the cake finished, and in a hurry, I took the wrong bag. Without even thinking, I put in what I thought was sugar, but it was actually salt! The cake looked perfect when it came out-golden brown with a shiny top. The smell was so amazing that I couldn’t wait to show it at the party. I imagined everyone was surprised at my baking skills and how impressed Emily would be. But little did I know, my cake was about to become the most memorable birthday cake ever. The next day, I arrived at Emily’s party with the cake. The moment came when we cut the cake. Emily, being the birthday girl, was the first to taste the cake. She carefully cut a piece, and with a big smile, she took the first bite (咬). But then... her expression changed. Her eyes widened for a second, she looked at me, clearly puzzled. “Uh... are you sure this is a cake?” she asked, trying hard not to laugh. 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。 I immediately took a bite myself, and my heart dropped. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ But instead of making me feel worse, Emily just laughed harder. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I immediately took a bite myself, and my heart dropped. The moment the flavor hit my tongue, I knew something had gone horribly wrong. It was so salty! Not the rich, sweet chocolate cake I had imagined! I turned bright red, and the entire room went dead silent. Then, as if planned, everyone burst out laughing. Emily, trying to keep it together, finally managed to say, “Well, this is definitely a new flavor I wasn’t expecting! A salty chocolate cake... that’s an interesting choice.” I felt my face get even hotter. “I-uh-I think I used salt instead of sugar!” I stammered, hardly able to look anyone in the eye. “I’m so sorry, everyone. I totally messed up!” But instead of making me feel worse, Emily just laughed harder “Honestly, it’s not the worst cake I’ve ever had,” she said, still giggling. “And hey, at least it’s something we’ll never forget!” At that point, everyone joined in, and the room was filled with laughter. We joked the cake as “legendary birthday cake” and it became the highlight of Emily’s birthday, which relieved my embarrassment to a large degree. I was soon involved in the cheerful atmosphere and we all had a pleasant time at Emily’s birthday party. It may have been a baking disaster, but it was surely the most unforgettable moment of the celebration! 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，本文讲述了作者为朋友Emily的生日烤蛋糕，但误将盐当成糖用，导致蛋糕异常盐，Emily却幽默地接受并感谢作者的用心。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我立刻咬了一口，我的心沉了下来。”可知，第一段可描写得知蛋糕太咸后的尴尬和歉意 ②由第二段首句内容“但艾米丽非但没有让我感觉更糟，反而笑得更厉害了。”可知，第二段描述了Emily的反应和客人的笑声，并以此升华主题，突出了友谊中的理解与幽默。 2.续写线索：发现蛋糕是咸的——作者尴尬——作者道歉——艾米丽的笑声——每个人都加入进来，房间里充满了笑声——很大程度上缓解了作者的尴尬 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①突然：burst out / burst into ②期望：expect/anticipate ③加入：join in /take part in ④想象：imagine/ envision 情绪类 ①欢乐的：cheerful /pleasant ②难忘的：unforgettable/ memorable 【点睛】[高分句型1] The moment the flavor hit my tongue, I knew something had gone horribly wrong.
