When the Civil War began in 1861, she heard of stories of wounded soldiers. She felt she needed to do something to help them, so she urged people to donate bandages and medicine and delivered these supplies to the battlefield. Clara didn’t stop helping when the war was over. She led a group to search for missing soldiers. This group also worked to identify soldiers killed or missing. After four years of this work, Clara moved to Switzerland, where she first learned about a group called the Red Cross. This group worked to help people who were suffering during times of war. In 1873 Clara returned to the United States. In 1881 she started an American branch of the Red Cross. She served as its first President for over 20 years. As the result of Clara’s hard work and leadership, the Red Cross grew. Today, it also helps people suffering as a result of earthquakes, fires, floods, and other disasters. Clara Barton died on April 12, 1912, but her great contribution, the American Red Cross lives on. 第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A There’s nothing more magical than spending a summer evening watching a bit of theatre. There are plenty of outdoor theatres to choose from, and we’ve put together a list of the best ones. Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre, London No matter the weather, when Regent’s Park starts its theatre season, summer has truly begun. Surrounded by thick whistling trees and singing birds, you may as well be a thousand miles from the surrounding city. This year sees a typically varied programme with Twelfth Night opening, Fiddler on the Roof closing and plenty in between. Thorington Theatre, Suffolk A new and beautiful addition to the outdoor theatre world, opening in 2021, Thorington is hidden in the Suffolk woodlands. This year’s programme includes family favourites such as Teddy Bear’s Picnic and The Little Mermaid, Shakespeare’s The Tempest as well as A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and a little Sondheim with Sunday in the Park with George. You can also now order a picnic from local supper club Husk to meet you an hour before your show. Minack Theatre, Cornwall Built into a cliff (悬崖) face in Porthcurno, you hardly need an excuse to visit this theatre. This year sees touring productions of Little Shop of Horrors, The Massive Tragedy of Madame Bovary and the usual knowledge of Shakespeare amongst other things. If you want a show particularly fitting for this unique surrounding, check out The Pirates of Penzance playing in September. Roman Theatre Open Air Festival St Alban’s Situated in the country’s oldest theatre still actually producing theatre — an old Roman theatre, hence the name — this year the festival offers a mix of straight classics, modern retellings and brand-new scripts (剧本). I’m a person interested in any production of Sondheim’s Into the Woods, and as the name suggests, there’s no better place to see it than an outdoor theatre. 21. What do the four theaters have in common? A. They are newly built. B. They are built outdoors. C. They show Shakespeare’s plays. D. They intend to open in summer. 22. Which theater is the most suitable for the Browns and their children? A. Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre, London. B. Thorington Theatre, Suffolk. C. Minack Theatre, Cornwall. D. Roman Theatre Open Air Festival St Alban’s. 23. Which program may the author choose? A. Twelfth Night. B. A Midsummer Night’s Dream. C. Little Shop of Horrors. D. Into the Woods. 【答案】21. B 22. B 23. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了几家最佳的户外剧院，包括伦敦摄政公园露天剧院、索福克郡索林顿剧院、康沃尔郡米纳克剧院和圣奥尔班斯罗马露天剧院，每个剧院都有独特的环境和丰富的演出节目，适合夏季夜晚观赏戏剧。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“There are plenty of outdoor theatres to choose from, and we’ve put together a list of the best ones. (有很多户外剧院可供选择，我们列出了最好的剧院)”可知，这四个剧院都是户外剧院，所以它们的共同之处是都建在户外。故选B。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Thorington Theatre, Suffolk部分“This year’s programme includes family favourites such as  Teddy Bear’s Picnic and The Little Mermaid, Shakespeare’s The Tempest as well as A Midsummer Night’s Dream , and a little Sondheim with Sunday in the Park with George. (今年的节目包括家庭最爱，如《泰迪熊的野餐》和《小美人鱼》、莎士比亚的《暴风雨》和《仲夏夜之梦》，以及《星期天与乔治同游公园》的小桑德海姆)”可知，这里有适合家庭观看的节目，所以最适合布朗一家和他们的孩子。故选B。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Roman Theatre Open Air Festival St Alban’s部分“I’m a person interested in any production of Sondheim’s  Into the Woods, and as the name suggests, there’s no better place to see it than an outdoor theatre. (我对桑德海姆的《走进森林》的任何制作都感兴趣，顾名思义，没有比户外剧院更好的地方了)”可知，作者对桑德海姆的《走进森林》的任何演出都感兴趣。故选D。 B In January 1998, 6-year-old Ryan sat in his first grade classroom. He was shocked to learn that many people in developing African countries couldn’t get enough clean water. Not only did they not have a water fountain a few steps from the classroom, like he did, but he learned millions of African children also got sick and some even died because of polluted water. That day, Ryan decided to do something. At first, he cleaned windows and did gardening for his family and neighbours. After four months, he saved up $70 — a fortune to a 6-year-old. He thought it was enough to build a well in Africa. However, when he gave the money to a charity, he was told that it actually cost $2,000 to build a well. Seventy dollars was only enough for a hand pump. Ryan understood that a hand pump wouldn’t help the children. What they needed was a well dug near their homes. Two thousand dollars was a lot of money, but Ryan didn’t give up. He was determined to help other children have clean water. He started to ask for help from his classmates and neighbours and persuaded them to donate money. At the same time, a friend of Ryan’s mother helped make his story go public. After several months, Ryan had raised the $2,000, with which a well was built near a primary school in Uganda. Later, Ryan set up a foundation to encourage more people to help. Many inspired people gave him their support. Ryan’s foundation continues to attract support from more and more people, so the work of building more wells can go on. Today, over 800,000 people in 16 countries across Africa have benefited from the life-changing gift of clean, safe water. 24. What motivated Ryan to take action to help people in Africa? A. His family’s involvement in charity. B. A desire to build a well for his family. C. Learning about the shortage of clean water. D. Being inspired by his classmates’ selfless act. 25. How did Ryan eventually raise the $2, 000 needed to build a well in Uganda? A. By doing extra chores. B. By turning to his parents. C. By switching to the media. D. By asking for donations. 26. Which of the following best describes Ryan? A. Humorous and helpful. B. Intelligent and interesting. C. Gifted and understanding. D. Persistent and influential. 27. What does the author intend to tell us? A. Water is the life-changing gift. B. A little kid can make a difference. C. Donating money can change the world. D. Children should be taught about charity. 【答案】24. C 25. D 26. D 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了6岁男孩Ryan如何通过自己的努力，为非洲的孩子们筹集资金，建造水井，提供干净饮用水的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“He was shocked to learn that many people in developing African countries couldn’t get enough clean water. Not only did they not have a water fountain a few steps from the classroom, like he did, but he learned millions of African children also got sick and some even died because of polluted water. That day, Ryan decided to do something. (当得知许多非洲发展中国家的人们无法获得足够的清洁水时，他感到震惊。他们不仅不像他那样，几步之遥就有一个饮水机，而且他还了解到，数百万非洲儿童因饮用受污染的水而生病，有些甚至因此死亡。就在那天，瑞安决定要做点什么。)”可知，Ryan帮助非洲人民的动机来源于他得知许多非洲国家缺乏干净水源。故选C。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“He started to ask for help from his classmates and neighbours and persuaded them to donate money. At the same time, a friend of Ryan’s mother helped make his story go public. After several months, Ryan had raised the $2,000, with which a well was built near a primary school in Uganda. (他开始向同学和邻居求助，并说服他们捐款。与此同时，瑞安母亲的一位朋友帮忙将他的故事公之于众。几个月后，瑞安筹集到了2000美元，用这笔钱在乌干达一所小学附近打了一口井。)”可知，Ryan通过向同学和邻居求助并说服他们捐款来筹集所需的2000美元，即Ryan最终通过募捐筹集到了在乌干达打一口井所需的2000美元。故选D。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Two thousand dollars was a lot of money, but Ryan didn’t give up. He was determined to help other children have clean water. He started to ask for help from his classmates and neighbours and persuaded them to donate money. At the same time, a friend of Ryan’s mother helped make his story go public. After several months, Ryan had raised the $2,000, with which a well was built near a primary school in Uganda. (2000美元是一大笔钱，但瑞安没有放弃。他下定决心要帮助其他孩子获得清洁的水。他开始向同学和邻居求助，并说服他们捐款。与此同时，瑞安母亲的一位朋友帮忙将他的故事公之于众。几个月后，瑞安筹集到了2000美元，用这笔钱在乌干达一所小学附近打了一口井。)”可知，他开始向同学和邻居求助并说服他们捐款，最终筹集到了足够的钱打井，这体现了他为了实现让非洲孩子有干净水的目标而坚持不懈的品质。根据最后一段“Later, Ryan set up a foundation to encourage more people to help. Many inspired people gave him their support. Ryan’s foundation continues to attract support from more and more people, so the work of building more wells can go on. Today, over 800,000 people in 16 countries across Africa have benefited from the life-changing gift of clean, safe water. (后来，瑞安成立了一个基金会，以鼓励更多的人参与到这项帮助行动中来。许多受到鼓舞的人都给予了他支持。瑞安的基金会不断吸引着越来越多人的支持，这样一来，打更多井的工作就能继续下去。如今，非洲16个国家的80多万人已经从这一改变命运的礼物 —— 清洁、安全的水中受益。)”可知，他的行为激励了很多人给予支持，并且他的基金会吸引了越来越多的人，让更多的井得以建造，使非洲 16 个国家的 80 多万人受益，这充分表明他是有影响力的。因此可以推断Ryan是一个坚持不懈且具有影响力的人。故选D。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据文章第一段中的“He was shocked to learn that many people in developing African countries couldn’t get enough clean water. Not only did they not have a water fountain a few steps from the classroom, like he did, but he learned millions of African children also got sick and some even died because of polluted water. That day, Ryan decided to do something. (当得知许多非洲发展中国家的人们无法获得足够的清洁水时，他感到震惊。他们不仅不像他那样，几步之遥就有一个饮水机，而且他还了解到，数百万非洲儿童因饮用受污染的水而生病，有些甚至因此死亡。就在那天，瑞安决定要做点什么。)”可知，文章讲述了六岁的 Ryan如何通过自己的坚持和努力，帮助非洲贫困地区的人们获得清洁水源，最终影响了成千上万人的故事。因此，作者想表达的是“一个孩子也能做出改变”。故选B。 C After posting a short video on April 27 about planting and cooking peas, Chinese food blogger Li Ziqi witnessed her followers on YouTube over 10 million. Li shares short videos recording her traditional and peaceful lifestyle in China’s countryside. This makes her shot to fame. “It’s really surprising. I didn’t expect such a wide response,” Li said in an interview, noting she was surprised by how foreigners on the Internet were taken with her works. Li’s videos center on her life with her grandmother in the rural parts of Sichuan Province. In the videos, Li is often dressed in beautiful traditional clothes, rises at sunrise, rests at sunset, plants seeds and harvests flowers, cooks Chinese dishes and makes bamboo furniture (家具). In response, Li, who was raised in the countryside, said “Most people today are facing huge stress in work and life, so I hope they can feel relaxed when watching my videos.” “There are so many ideas in my mind of old craftsmanship (技艺) and food we have been enjoying for thousands of years. Some are almost forgotten. I hope to preserve them through my small efforts.” “China has tried for so many years to promote our culture globally but made little progress, and that’s because of a lack of spontaneity (自发性) and few focus on Chinese people’s daily lives,” Zhang Xiaoming, director of the China National Center for Culture Studies, said in a recent interview with The Beijing News. “China needs more Li Ziqi”. 28. What can we learn about Li Ziqi? A. Her video is about her life in the city. B. She wears formal uniform in her video. C. All her furniture is created and designed by herself. D. She hopes her video can help reduce people’s pressure. 29. What is Li Ziqi’s attitude towards Chinese old craftsmanship? A. Indifferent. B. Negative. C. Concerned. D. Confused. 30. What can be inferred from what Zhang Xiaoming said? A. China has made much progress in promoting its culture globally. B. There are enough videos about Chinese people’s daily lives online. C. Chinese culture has been famous globally because of Li Ziqi. D. More efforts should be made to spread Chinese culture. 31. From which is the text probably taken? A. A newspaper. B. A travel magazine. C. A diary. D. A research. 【答案】28. D 29. C 30. D 31. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。本文介绍了中国美食博主李子柒的视频及其影响。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段关键句“In response, Li, who was raised in the countryside, said “Most people today are facing huge stress in work and life, so I hope they can feel relaxed when watching my videos.” (作为回应，在农村长大的李说：“今天大多数人在工作和生活中都面临着巨大的压力，所以我希望他们在看我的视频时能感到放松。”)”可知，李子柒希望有压力的人在看她的视频时能感到放松，由此可知，李子柒希望她的视频能帮助减轻人们的压力。故选D项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段关键句“There are so many ideas in my mind of old craftsmanship (技艺) and food we have been enjoying for thousands of years. Some are almost forgotten. I hope to preserve them through my small efforts. (我脑海中有很多关于我们几千年来一直享受的古老工艺和食物的想法。有些人几乎被遗忘了。我希望通过我的小小努力来保护它们。)”可知，李子柒认为几千年的古老工艺几乎被遗忘了，她希望通过努力来保护它们，由此可知，李子柒对中国古老工艺的态度是关切的。故选C项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段关键句““China has tried for so many years to promote our culture globally but made little progress, and that’s because of a lack of spontaneity (自发性) and few focus on Chinese people’s daily lives,” Zhang Xiaoming, director of the China National Center for Culture Studies, said in a recent interview with The Beijing News. (中国国家文化研究中心主任张晓明在最近接受《新京报》采访时表示：“中国多年来一直试图在全球推广我们的文化，但进展甚微，这是因为缺乏自发性，很少关注中国人的日常生活。”)”可知，张晓明认为我们缺乏推广中国文化自发性，由此可知，她认为应该更加努力地传播中国文化。故选D项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，结合第一段内容“After posting a short video on April 27 about planting and cooking peas, Chinese food blogger Li Ziqi witnessed her followers on YouTube over 10 million. Li shares short videos recording her traditional and peaceful lifestyle in China’s countryside. This makes her shot to fame. (在4月27日发布了一段关于种植和烹饪豌豆的短视频后，中国美食博主李子柒在YouTube上看到了她的粉丝超过1000万。李分享了她在中国农村传统而平静的生活方式的短视频。这使她一举成名。)”可知，本文介绍了中国美食博主李子柒的视频及其影响，这是一个社会现象，由此可知，文章更可能出自一份报纸。故选A项。 D Cows love having an open area of grassland to graze on. But in some parts of the world, this is only possible during the summer. In the winter months, it can become too cold for cows to safely stay outside, so they are kept in a large farm building for warmth. Being stuck inside is not always pleasant for the cattle, and their unhappiness is closely connected to less milk production. For this reason, some cattle owners have fitted their cows with VR headsets that run a program specifically. The program simulates grassland in summer and was designed specifically for the way that cows get color and light. According to the National Library of Medicine, cattle see shades of red the easiest but have a hard time distinguishing between blue and green. Reports from a farm in Moscow Russia — where the VR headsets were first developed by vets — found in 2019 that the cows that used the VR headsets saw a decrease in anxiety and an improved mood. This led to an increase in milk production; which went from 5.8 gallons to 7 gallons a day. Cattle owner Izzet Kocak from Aksaray, Turkey, heard about this experiment and tried the VR headsets on his cows in December 2021. When Kocak put the headsets on his cows, he found an improvement in the emotional well-being of his animals. “They are watching an area of grassland, and it gives them an emotional boost. They are less stressed,” he said. The technology is now being passed around the world. According to the BBC, the headsets were made specifically for the “structural features of cow heads” by vets, and the animals were shown a “unique summer field simulation program”. The familiar sight of an area of grassland is enough to improve the mood of the entire herd. Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation says that research has shown a link between a cow’s emotional state and its milk production. They stated, “Examples of dairy farms from different countries show that in a calm atmosphere, the quantity of milk increases markedly.” 32. Which of the following statements is TRUE? A. The cows can produce milk normally in the winter. B. The cows prefer to live in a misty environment. C. The VR headsets operate a unique program. D. The VR headsets only display three colors. 33. What’s the result of cows’ wearing the VR headsets? A. They could distinguish between blue and green. B. Their milk production rose accordingly. C. Their physical health improved greatly. D. They could adapt to winter easily. 34. What concept is behind the VR headset program? A. High tech is necessary in the dairy field. B. A silent environment helps cows stay healthy. C. Natural grassland is better for the milk quality. D. A cow with good moods can produce more milk. 35. Which can be the best title for this passage? A. Keeping cows inside benefits a lot. B. VR headsets boost milk production. C. VR technology sees farming development. D. Depressed emotion affects the quality of milk. 【答案】32. C 33. B 34. D 35. B 【解析】 【导语】这一篇说明文。文章讲述冬季奶牛因困于室内不开心致产奶量低，给奶牛戴VR头显模拟草原，可改善情绪，提高产奶量。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“For this reason, some cattle owners have fitted their cows with VR headsets that run a program specifically. The program simulates grassland in summer and was designed specifically for the way that cows get color and light.(因为这原因，一些养牛户给他们的奶牛戴上了专门运行一个程序的VR头显。这个程序模拟夏天的草原，并且是专门根据奶牛感知颜色和光线的方式设计的。)”可知，VR头显运行一个独特的程序。故选C项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Reports from a farm in Moscow, Russia—where the VR headsets were first developed by vets— found in 2019 that the cows that used the VR headsets saw a decrease in anxiety and an improved mood. This led to an increase in milk production; which went from 5.8 gallons to 7 gallons a day.(来自俄罗斯莫斯科一个农场的报告 ——VR 头显最初由兽医在那里研发 —— 在2019年发现，使用 VR 头显的奶牛焦虑感降低，情绪得到改善。这导致了产奶量的增加，每天的产奶量从5.8加仑增加到7加仑。)”可知，奶牛戴上VR头显后产奶量相应增加。故选B项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation says that research has shown a link between a cow’s emotional state and its milk production. They stated, ‘Examples of dairy farms from different countries show that in a calm atmosphere, the quantity of milk increases markedly.’(俄罗斯联邦农业部表示，研究表明奶牛的情绪状态与产奶量之间存在联系。他们指出，‘不同国家的奶牛场实例表明，在平静的氛围中，牛奶产量显著增加。’)”以及前文提到奶牛戴上VR头显后情绪改善进而产奶量增加，可推断出VR头显项目背后的理念是心情好的奶牛能产更多奶。故选D项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是第二段“For this reason, some cattle owners have fitted their cows with VR headsets that run a program specifically. The program simulates grassland in summer and was designed specifically for the way that cows get color and light.(因为这原因，一些养牛户给他们的奶牛戴上了专门运行一个程序的VR头显。这个程序模拟夏天的草原，并且是专门根据奶牛感知颜色和光线的方式设计的。)”可知，文章主要讲述了一些养牛户给奶牛戴上VR头显，运行模拟夏天草原的独特程序，改善了奶牛的情绪，进而提高了产奶量。所以B选项“VR headsets boost milk production.(VR 头显提高牛奶产量)”能准确概括文章主旨。故选B项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 If anyone had told me three years ago that I would be spending most of my weekends camping, I would have laughed heartily. Campers, in my eyes, were people who enjoyed insect bites, ill-cooked meals, and uncomfortable sleeping bags. They had nothing in common with me. ___36___ The friends who introduced me to camping thought that it meant to be a pioneer. ____37____ We slept in a tent, cooked over an open fire, and walked a long distance to take the shower and use the bathroom. This brief visit with Mother Nature cost me two days off from work, recovering from a bad case of sunburn and the doctor’s bill for my son’s food poisoning. I was, nevertheless, talked into going on another fun-filled holiday in the wilderness. ____38____ Instead, we had a pop-up camper with comfortable beds and an air conditioner. My nature-loving friends had remembered to bring all the necessities of life. ___39___ We have done a lot of it since. Recently, we bought a twenty-eight-foot travel trailer complete with a bathroom and a built-in TV set. There is a separate bedroom, a modern kitchen with a refrigerator. The trailer even has matching carpet and curtains. ___40___ It must be true that sooner or later, everyone finds his or her way back to nature. I recommend that you find your way in style. A. This time there was no tent. B. Things are going to be improved. C. The trip they took me on was a rough one. D. I was to learn a lot about camping since then, however. E. I must say that I have certainly come to enjoy camping. F. After the trip, my family became quite interested in camping. G. There was no shade as the trees were no more than 3 feet tall. 【答案】36. D 37. C 38. A 39. F 40. E 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了自己近三年来逐渐改变了对野营的看法，从以前对野营活动嗤之以鼻，经过几次野营后慢慢喜欢上了野营，最后表达野营将逐渐成为人类回归自然的很好方式，建议人们找到属于自己的方式。 【36题详解】 上文 They had nothing in common with me 说明作者原来认为他不会成为野营者．而下文主要描述的是"我"从最开始进行"rough travel"到有了"pop-up camper"再到有了 trailer 的过程，在这过程中作者对野营的爱好逐步增加，对野营的相关知识也在逐步增长，上下文呈转折关系．D项意为"然而在那之后我将会学到关于野营的很多知识"，起到转折作用，引出下文，符合语境．故正确答案为D。 【37题详解】 由下文 We sleep in a tent，cooked over an open fire，and walked a long distance to take the shower and use the bathroom 可知，"我"的野营条件非常艰苦．C项意为"他们带我去的旅途非常艰苦"，引出下文，符合语境．故正确答案为C。 【38题详解】 由下文 Instead，we had a pop-up camper with comfortable beds and an air conditioner 可知，空格处是与下文形成转折的内容，而"我"此次旅行用了展开式营房．A项意为"这一次没有帐篷"，与下文形成转折，符合语境．故正确答案为A。 【39题详解】 由第三段第一句 going on another fun-filled holiday 可知，"我"对这次旅行非常满意，而由下文 We have done a lot of it since 可知，"我们"都爱上了野营．F项意为"从这里旅行后，我全家都对野营产生了巨大兴趣"，承上启下，符合语境．故正确答案为F。 【40题详解】 由下文 sooner or later，everyone finds his or her way back to nature 可知，"我"希望每个人都能找到回归自然，也就是野营的个性化选择．形成这一观点的前提是"我"自己已经爱上了野营．E项意为"我必须承认我已经开始享受野营了"，引出下文，符合语境．故正确答案为E。 第三部分语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项A、B、 C和D中, 选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Our drive to look for happiness is a muscle that we can exercise and develop. Almost anyone can learn to develop their reward sensitivity (奖励敏感性) by ____41____ themselves to notice and experience their positive emotions. To raise your reward sensitivity, begin by planning one activity per day that will make you happy or give you a sense of ____42____. It can be as small as treating yourself to a favorite drink or reading a few pages of a novel. This will make you less likely to ____43____ positive experiences. After you’ve ____44____ that daily moment, close your eyes and think about where and when you experienced the greatest joy. The idea isn’t just to remember how you felt, but to enhance and re-experience it, thus ____45____ your memory of them, and increasing your desire to seek them out going forward. Here are some other suggestions you can adopt to develop a ____46____ mind-set. Expand your joy ____47____: Research suggests that finding more words to describe positive emotions can prove and increase them. When reflecting on how something made you feel, try to be ____48____, using words like calm, overjoyed, delighted, inspired beyond fine, good or great. Share your highlight reel (高光时刻): ____49____ what made you happiest can make you feel better. Spread that happiness to another person — and also strengthen a bond. Find bright sides: With practice, it’s possible to _____50_____ the positives hidden in things that we might first see as negative. For example, if you invited co-workers to get together and only one person _____51_____, you could easily view that as a(n) _____52_____. But the bright side would be that you got to know that one person better. Keep in mind, too, that it’s normal to feel _____53_____ with pleasurable feelings sometimes, particularly if you experience depression and anxiety. Worrying can make you feel like you’re ready to respond to threats — but by constantly _____54_____ disaster, we miss the happiness in front of us right now. Sometimes we need to _____55_____ like happy people if we actually want to be happy. 41. A. attracting B. surrounding C. disturbing D. training 42. A. achievement B. evidence C. blame D. impact 43.

The walls, ____57____ (paint) brilliant white, reflected the afternoon sun. There were five similar huts, all lined up ____58____ (face) Mount Kilimanjaro, the ____59____ (high) mountain in Africa. The mountain rose up over the plains before us. Tall grasses and trees ____60____ (dot) the plains, which were alive with the African wildlife we had come to see. Giraffes, with their long necks, were pulling leaves from the highest ____61____ (branch). ____62____ the distance, elephants were eating grass, ears flapping lazily as they moved slowly over the plains. I had never seen anything like this before. It was indeed the greatest show on the Earth. We got out of the car, carrying our suitcases and boxes of food into the hut. I placed ham sandwiches, sausages and a bunch of bananas on a small wooden table. I returned to the car and fetched more possessions. It was then that I noticed a small grey monkey sitting on a tree a few metres away and eating a banana. “So cute,” I thought to ____63____ (me), until I realized ____64____ was my banana that he was eating. He was looking at me intently as he enjoyed the final _____65_____ (mouth). I was sure he was saying, “Thank you.” “You're welcome,” I replied. 【答案】56 which 57. painted 58. facing 59. highest 60. dotted 61. branches 62. In 63. myself 64. it 65. mouthful 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章描写了木屋周围的环境以及在屋外与小猴子的邂逅。 【56题详解】 考查非限制性定语从句。句意：我们在小屋旁边找到了一个停车位，小屋是圆形的砖砌的。先行词为our hut，指物，从句中缺少主语，根据逗号可知这里是非限制性定语从句，故填which。 【57题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：墙体漆成耀眼的白色，反射着午后的阳光。The walls是主语，reflected 是谓语动词，空格处需要用非谓语动词，the walls 和paint之间是被动关系，所以用过去分词作定语。故填painted。 【58题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：有五间类似的小屋排在一起都面向非洲最高山乞力马扎罗山。这里是非谓语动词作状语，主语five similar huts和face之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词作状语。故填facing。 【59题详解】 考查形容词。句意：有五间类似的小屋排在一起都面向非洲最高山乞力马扎罗山。Mount Kilimanjaro和the highest mountain in Africa是同位语，乞力马扎罗山是非洲的最高山，所以用形容词的最高级。故填highest。 【60题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：高大的草地和树木点缀着平原，平原上充满了我们要来看的野生动物。dot是谓语动词，与主语tall grasses and trees之间是主动关系，所以要用主动语态，根据上下文的时态可知，这篇文章都是用的过去时，所以用一般过去时。故填dotted。 【61题详解】 考查名词。句意：长颈鹿们，长着长长的脖子，正在从最高的树枝上吃叶子。根据前面的giraffes可知不止一只长颈鹿，所以树枝也一定是复数，故填branches。 【62题详解】 考查介词。句意：远处，大象正在吃草，耳朵懒洋洋地拍打着，慢慢地在平原上移动。in the distance 是固定短语，意思是“在远处”，位于句首，要大写，故填In。 【63题详解】 考查代词。句意：“太可爱了，”我心想，直到我意识到他吃的是我的香蕉。think to oneself是固定短语，意思是“心想”，故填myself。 【64题详解】 考查强调句。句意：“太可爱了，”我心想，直到我意识到他吃的是我的香蕉。这是一个强调句，强调的是句子的宾语。强调句的句型为it is/was+被强调部分+that +句子的其余部分，故填it。 【65题详解】 考查名词。句意：他一边津津有味地吃着最后一口，一边专注地看着我。名词作宾语，再根据句意可知这里表示“一口”，故填mouthful。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节、应用文写作（满分15分） 66. 假定你是李华，你校英文报正开展关于肢体语言的征文活动。请你写一篇短文投稿，内容包括： 1.肢体语言的重要性； 2.如何使用肢体语言。 注意： 1.写作词数应为80左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Body language plays an important role in people’s daily interaction with others.

They asked me if I would like to go with them. I love outdoor activities, so I immediately said yes. It was sunny the following morning. I was in a very good mood. I was so excited about hiking since it was the first time that I had hiked with them. I ate a light breakfast. After that, I hurriedly ran out of my house to meet them in the school playground. The jungle where we were going was far from our school. It took about three hours to go there by bus, but it wasn’t a boring journey as we were all eager to hike. After we got off the bus, we found a local guide to ensure our safety. The guide, whose name is Thomas, said that he had hiked there lots of times and that he was familiar with the route. When we arrived, Thomas told us never to leave the group. He warned us that we would easily get lost in the jungle if we walked alone. Then we began to hike. There were various plants which we had never seen before. All of us were amazed at the beauty of the scenery and the sounds of the creatures. Sadly, after hiking for about an hour, I found that my watch on my wrist was gone. I realized that my watch had fallen off. It was a gift from my grandma, and I loved it very much. Without thinking, I turned back and tried to find my watch. Since I was the last one walking in the group, nobody noticed it when I walked away. I wasn’t worried about getting lost because I thought I could find my watch easily. However, when I finally found my watch and tried to catch up with my friends, they had gone far. I immediately realized that I was alone and lost. 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。 The sky started to become darker and I was very worried. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Actually, they were rescuers searching for me. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: The sky started to become darker and I was very worried. I didn’t know what to do. I called out to my friends, but there was no reply. I tried to look for a way but none of the scenes seemed familiar. I walked for a few more minutes and I got tired and hungry so I gave up. I was horrified. Finally, I gave up and leaned on a tree to rest. As I was falling asleep, I heard a human voice. It was unbelievable, then I heard someone else. I screamed, “Help!” Actually, they were rescuers searching for me. My friends Jack and Liam told the guide that they found I was lost, and finally some rescuers were called to help. They led me back to the bus. Seeing me, my friends told me they were really worried. I apologized to them for leaving the group without telling them. Instead of feeling angry with me, they comforted me and helped me calm down to learn a good lesson from it. And I truly learned a good lesson from it-never leave your group members when you’re in a strange place. 【解析】 【导语】本文以事件发展为线索展开，讲述了作者在导游的带领下，与同学约好在丛林中徒步的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“天开始变黑了，我很担心”可知，第一段可描写作者在丛林中迷失，无助地靠在一棵大树旁等待救援的故事。 ②由第二段首句内容“事实上，他们是在找我的救援人员”可知，第二段可描写作者获救后被带到公交车上，见到了同学们，决定以后再也不离开队伍。 2.续写线索：担心——呼救——疲倦——睡着——听见人声——获救——见到同学——道歉——以后决不离开队伍 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①知道：know/be aware ②放弃：give up /abandon ③看见：spot/catch sight of 情绪类 ①感到担心的：feel worried/feel disturbed ②生气的：be angry/ be annoyed 【点睛】[高分句型1]As I was falling asleep, I heard a human voice.（时间状语从句） [高分句型2]Seeing me, my friends told me they were really worried.（现在分词作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 泸县五中高2023级高二下学期开学考试 英语 试卷分为第1卷（阅读题）和第I1卷（表达题）两部分，共8页，满分150分。 第I卷 选择题（95分） 第一部分听力（共两节，满分30分） 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 When will the woman see a dentist?

Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre, London No matter the weather, when Regent’s Park starts its theatre season, summer has truly begun. Surrounded by thick whistling trees and singing birds, you may as well be a thousand miles from the surrounding city. This year sees a typically varied programme with Twelfth Night opening, Fiddler on the Roof closing and plenty in between. Thorington Theatre, Suffolk A new and beautiful addition to the outdoor theatre world, opening in 2021, Thorington is hidden in the Suffolk woodlands. This year’s programme includes family favourites such as Teddy Bear’s Picnic and The Little Mermaid, Shakespeare’s The Tempest as well as A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and a little Sondheim with Sunday in the Park with George. You can also now order a picnic from local supper club Husk to meet you an hour before your show. Minack Theatre, Cornwall Built into a cliff (悬崖) face in Porthcurno, you hardly need an excuse to visit this theatre. This year sees touring productions of Little Shop of Horrors, The Massive Tragedy of Madame Bovary and the usual knowledge of Shakespeare amongst other things. If you want a show particularly fitting for this unique surrounding, check out The Pirates of Penzance playing in September. Roman Theatre Open Air Festival St Alban’s Situated in the country’s oldest theatre still actually producing theatre — an old Roman theatre, hence the name — this year the festival offers a mix of straight classics, modern retellings and brand-new scripts (剧本). I’m a person interested in any production of Sondheim’s Into the Woods, and as the name suggests, there’s no better place to see it than an outdoor theatre. 21. What do the four theaters have in common? A. They are newly built. B. They are built outdoors. C. They show Shakespeare’s plays. D. They intend to open in summer. 22. Which theater is the most suitable for the Browns and their children? A. Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre, London. B. Thorington Theatre, Suffolk. C. Minack Theatre Cornwall. D. Roman Theatre Open Air Festival St Alban’s. 23. Which program may the author choose? A. Twelfth Night. B. A Midsummer Night’s Dream. C. Little Shop of Horrors. D. Into the Woods. B In January 1998, 6-year-old Ryan sat in his first grade classroom. He was shocked to learn that many people in developing African countries couldn’t get enough clean water. Not only did they not have a water fountain a few steps from the classroom, like he did, but he learned millions of African children also got sick and some even died because of polluted water. That day, Ryan decided to do something. At first, he cleaned windows and did gardening for his family and neighbours. After four months, he saved up $70 — a fortune to a 6-year-old. He thought it was enough to build a well in Africa. However, when he gave the money to a charity, he was told that it actually cost $2,000 to build a well. Seventy dollars was only enough for a hand pump. Ryan understood that a hand pump wouldn’t help the children. What they needed was a well dug near their homes. Two thousand dollars was a lot of money, but Ryan didn’t give up. He was determined to help other children have clean water. He started to ask for help from his classmates and neighbours and persuaded them to donate money. At the same time, a friend of Ryan’s mother helped make his story go public. After several months, Ryan had raised the $2,000, with which a well was built near a primary school in Uganda. Later, Ryan set up a foundation to encourage more people to help. Many inspired people gave him their support. Ryan’s foundation continues to attract support from more and more people, so the work of building more wells can go on. Today, over 800,000 people in 16 countries across Africa have benefited from the life-changing gift of clean, safe water. 24. What motivated Ryan to take action to help people in Africa? A His family’s involvement in charity. B. A desire to build a well for his family. C. Learning about the shortage of clean water. D. Being inspired by his classmates’ selfless act. 25. How did Ryan eventually raise the $2, 000 needed to build a well in Uganda? A. By doing extra chores. B. By turning to his parents. C. By switching to the media. D. By asking for donations. 26 Which of the following best describes Ryan? A. Humorous and helpful. B. Intelligent and interesting. C. Gifted and understanding. D. Persistent and influential. 27. What does the author intend to tell us? A. Water is the life-changing gift. B. A little kid can make a difference. C. Donating money can change the world. D. Children should be taught about charity. C After posting a short video on April 27 about planting and cooking peas, Chinese food blogger Li Ziqi witnessed her followers on YouTube over 10 million. Li shares short videos recording her traditional and peaceful lifestyle in China’s countryside. This makes her shot to fame. “It’s really surprising. I didn’t expect such a wide response,” Li said in an interview, noting she was surprised by how foreigners on the Internet were taken with her works. Li’s videos center on her life with her grandmother in the rural parts of Sichuan Province. In the videos, Li is often dressed in beautiful traditional clothes, rises at sunrise, rests at sunset, plants seeds and harvests flowers, cooks Chinese dishes and makes bamboo furniture (家具). In response, Li, who was raised in the countryside, said “Most people today are facing huge stress in work and life, so I hope they can feel relaxed when watching my videos.” “There are so many ideas in my mind of old craftsmanship (技艺) and food we have been enjoying for thousands of years. Some are almost forgotten. I hope to preserve them through my small efforts.” “China has tried for so many years to promote our culture globally but made little progress, and that’s because of a lack of spontaneity (自发性) and few focus on Chinese people’s daily lives,” Zhang Xiaoming, director of the China National Center for Culture Studies, said in a recent interview with The Beijing News. “China needs more Li Ziqi”. 28. What can we learn about Li Ziqi? A. Her video is about her life in the city. B. She wears formal uniform in her video. C. All her furniture is created and designed by herself. D. She hopes her video can help reduce people’s pressure. 29. What is Li Ziqi’s attitude towards Chinese old craftsmanship? A. Indifferent. B. Negative. C. Concerned. D. Confused. 30. What can be inferred from what Zhang Xiaoming said? A. China has made much progress in promoting its culture globally. B. There are enough videos about Chinese people’s daily lives online. C. Chinese culture has been famous globally because of Li Ziqi. D. More efforts should be made to spread Chinese culture. 31. From which is the text probably taken? A. A newspaper. B. A travel magazine. C. A diary. D. A research. D Cows love having an open area of grassland to graze on. But in some parts of the world, this is only possible during the summer. In the winter months, it can become too cold for cows to safely stay outside, so they are kept in a large farm building for warmth. Being stuck inside is not always pleasant for the cattle, and their unhappiness is closely connected to less milk production. For this reason, some cattle owners have fitted their cows with VR headsets that run a program specifically. The program simulates grassland in summer and was designed specifically for the way that cows get color and light. According to the National Library of Medicine, cattle see shades of red the easiest but have a hard time distinguishing between blue and green. Reports from a farm in Moscow, Russia — where the VR headsets were first developed by vets — found in 2019 that the cows that used the VR headsets saw a decrease in anxiety and an improved mood. This led to an increase in milk production; which went from 5.8 gallons to 7 gallons a day. Cattle owner Izzet Kocak from Aksaray, Turkey, heard about this experiment and tried the VR headsets on his cows in December 2021. When Kocak put the headsets on his cows, he found an improvement in the emotional well-being of his animals. “They are watching an area of grassland, and it gives them an emotional boost. They are less stressed,” he said. The technology is now being passed around the world. According to the BBC, the headsets were made specifically for the “structural features of cow heads” by vets, and the animals were shown a “unique summer field simulation program”. The familiar sight of an area of grassland is enough to improve the mood of the entire herd. Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation says that research has shown a link between a cow’s emotional state and its milk production. They stated, “Examples of dairy farms from different countries show that in a calm atmosphere, the quantity of milk increases markedly.” 32. Which of the following statements is TRUE? A. The cows can produce milk normally in the winter. B. The cows prefer to live in a misty environment. C. The VR headsets operate a unique program. D. The VR headsets only display three colors. 33. What’s the result of cows’ wearing the VR headsets? A. They could distinguish between blue and green. B. Their milk production rose accordingly. C. Their physical health improved greatly. D. They could adapt to winter easily. 34. What concept is behind the VR headset program? A. High tech is necessary in the dairy field. B. A silent environment helps cows stay healthy. C. Natural grassland is better for the milk quality. D. A cow with good moods can produce more milk. 35. Which can be the best title for this passage? A. Keeping cows inside benefits a lot. B. VR headsets boost milk production. C. VR technology sees farming development. D. Depressed emotion affects the quality of milk. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 If anyone had told me three years ago that I would be spending most of my weekends camping, I would have laughed heartily.

They asked me if I would like to go with them. I love outdoor activities, so I immediately said yes. It was sunny the following morning. I was in a very good mood. I was so excited about hiking since it was the first time that I had hiked with them. I ate a light breakfast. After that, I hurriedly ran out of my house to meet them in the school playground. The jungle where we were going was far from our school. It took about three hours to go there by bus, but it wasn’t a boring journey as we were all eager to hike. After we got off the bus, we found a local guide to ensure our safety. The guide, whose name is Thomas, said that he had hiked there lots of times and that he was familiar with the route. When we arrived, Thomas told us never to leave the group. He warned us that we would easily get lost in the jungle if we walked alone. Then we began to hike. There were various plants which we had never seen before. All of us were amazed at the beauty of the scenery and the sounds of the creatures. Sadly, after hiking for about an hour, I found that my watch on my wrist was gone. I realized that my watch had fallen off. It was a gift from my grandma, and I loved it very much. Without thinking, I turned back and tried to find my watch. Since I was the last one walking in the group, nobody noticed it when I walked away. I wasn’t worried about getting lost because I thought I could find my watch easily. However, when I finally found my watch and tried to catch up with my friends, they had gone far. I immediately realized that I was alone and lost. 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。 The sky started to become darker and I was very worried. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Actually, they were rescuers searching for me. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$听力考试正式开始。What's the matter, mom?
