The Argory, Northern Ireland This spot is perfect for family adventures.For little legs learning to cycle, hire (租用) the free balance bikes and make the most of the long flat trails (小路).The natural play area has a climbing frame and mud kitchen.There are also kid­sized picnic tables when you are ready for a rest. Sizergh Castle and Garden, Kendal, Cumbria Visitors can look out for wildlife, including birds, bats and deer in this spot.An autumn visit is perfect as the green leaves of the maple trees in the gardens change into oranges and reds. The New Forest, Hampshire Youngsters are spoilt for choice (东西多的挑花眼) as they decide whether to paddle (用桨划船) in streams, or explore among the trees.With the number of animals to be found in the area, spring is the perfect time to visit as the wildlife is much more active and easier to spot.Fancy something to set your heart racing?You can choose to go exploring on horseback. Epping Forest, London and Essex A popular spot from late March to May when fields of bluebells provide breathtaking viewing.For first­timers, it's best to start off your day at the Visitor Centre where experienced staff can help guide you to make the most of your time in the forest.The centre also hosts family­friendly exhibitions about the forest's history and wildlife.

D.Winter. 解析:选C。细节理解题。根据Sizergh Castle and Garden, Kendal, Cumbria部分中的“An autumn visit is perfect as the green leaves of the maple trees in the gardens change into oranges and reds.”可知,秋天是游览这一景点的最佳时间。 3.What can kids do at Epping Forest?

I liked painting.Losing myself in painting filled me with peace.Painting provided me with the only place where I could escape from those threatening words. When I was twenty­one, my right eye went blind.Precisely three months after my twenty­fifth birthday, I had a massive haemorrhage (大出血) in my left eye because of an accident.For the next twenty years, vision came and went.I went through many eye operations in an attempt to keep my vision.But after one final operation, I lost the battle and all remaining vision.And I buried all dreams of painting. Desperate,I enrolled in (注册) a sixteen­week program for the blind and visually impaired (损伤的).I learned personal adjustment and the use of a computer with adaptive software.A whole new world opened up to me through this program. “Jaws and Window­Eyes are leading software for the blind,”my instructor told me.“You can use the Internet,E­mail and Microsoft with all its tools and features.”It's amazing!Hope went up for the first time in years.“By learning how to use hot keys to control the mouse, you can use Microsoft Access, Excel and Powerpoint,”my instructor added. For the next several years,I learned that when one door closes, another door opens.There are plenty of choices available for the blind and visually impaired through the gift of technology.Not only do I have a speaking computer, but I have a speaking watch, alarm clock, and calculator. [语篇解读]本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过自己的亲身经历告诉我们:面对人生困境时不要悲伤,天无绝人之路,我们一定会找到新的出路。 4.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A.The right opportunity. B.The Children's Hospital. C.Consuming too much sugar. D.Losing my sight in the future. 解析:选D。代词指代题。结合画线词前面医生的话“You'll be blind”和画线词后面的“like a dark cloud, waiting for just the right opportunity to break open and destroy my world”可以推知,it指代医生所说的“你会失明”。 5.What happened when the author was 25 years old? A.He gave up painting. B.He went blind completely. C.He injured one of his eyes. D.He picked up a new hobby. 解析:选C。细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Precisely three months after my twenty­fifth birthday, I had a massive haemorrhage (大出血) in my left eye because of an accident.”可知,25岁时,作者的左眼在一场事故中受伤大出血。 6.What brought a turning point to the author? A.A special course. B.A meaningful event. C.An inspiring speech. D.An important interview. 解析:选A。细节理解题。根据第四段中的“I enrolled in...through this program.”可知,作者在彻底丧失视力之后,参加了一个针对视力障碍者的课程,这个课程给作者开辟了一个全新的世界。 7.What does the author intend to tell us? A.No pains, no gains. B.Every man has his price. C.Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. D.Be optimistic in the face of life's difficulties. 解析:选D。推理判断题。根据作者的经历和最后一段中的“when one door closes, another door opens”可知,作者想通过这篇文章告诉大家,一定要乐观面对困境。 C All day long, at an MSF distribution center, humanitarian (人道主义的) supplies make their way to some of the most dangerous spots on the planet.Specially marked boxes are being packed with medicines and supplies, which are on their way to Ebola­affected Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone. Kathy Dedieu became a sanitation (卫生设备) and water engineer for MSF a decade ago.She has just returned from Liberia, where MSF is working to help reopen the hospitals.Her job is to make sure that clean parts of the hospitals are kept separate from areas that are polluted.She says the situation there is a complete disaster.“Even during the war, I haven't seen a health system close so fast.The hospitals are empty because the health staff just aren't there,”she says.Dedieu was in Liberia during that country's civil war in 2003. MSF was founded in 1971 by a group of doctors and journalists.“I remember being criticized in the 1980s as a ‘medical cowboy’,”says Rony Brauman, who headed MSF from 1982 to 1994.“We were blamed for riding in, distributing our pills and creating unreasonable expectations.”But Brauman says that's the nature of health care.“We raise expectations; we create new diseases by treating old diseases,”Brauman says.“That's how it works in general.It was a kind of fight.MSF won that fight.” MSF doctor Cameron Bopp says he's worked with other humanitarian organizations but always missed the level of devotion and motivation he's found at MSF.“The main thing that's different about MSF from the point of view someone like me who goes out and works in the field is that when there's an emergency, other organizations say, ‘Whoa, this is an emergency.We're gonna be there as soon as we get funding.’ And MSF has the funding,”he says.“We start right away.”Ninety percent of MSF's funding comes from a devoted base of five million donors.That gives it the independence to speak out and do what's really needed. [语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“无国界医生”这一非营利组织。 8.What is the first paragraph mainly about? A.Showing the places affected by Ebola. B.Exploring a distribution center of MSF. C.Introducing one of the functions of MSF. D.Encouraging donations to Ebola­affected areas. 解析:选C。主旨大意题。根据文章第一段内容可知,第一段主要呈现的是无国界医生组织的一个分发中心为埃博拉病毒感染国家配发物资的场景,所以,第一段的主要内容是介绍该组织的一项功能。 9.What can we learn about Kathy Dedieu? A.She is working in Liberia. B.She was once a soldier in the civil war. C.She founded MSF with many other doctors. D.She helps with pollution prevention in hospitals. 解析:选D。细节理解题。由第二段中的“She has just returned from Liberia”可以判断Kathy Dedieu目前不在利比里亚,因此A项错误;由第二段最后“Dedieu was in Liberia during that country's civil war in 2003.”可知,2003年利比里亚内战爆发时Dedieu在利比里亚,但并没有提到她在当兵,因此B项错误;由第三段第一句话“MSF was founded in 1971 by a group of doctors and journalists.”可知,无国界医生组织并不是Dedieu创立的,因此C项错误;根据文章第二段中的“Her job is to make sure that clean parts of the hospitals are kept separate from areas that are polluted.”可知,Kathy Dedieu的工作是确保医院的无污染区和污染区是分开的,即预防医院被污染。 10.What was people's attitude to MSF in the early years? A.Optimistic. B.Uncaring. C.Disapproving. D.Curious. 解析:选C。推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“I remember being criticized in the 1980s as a ‘medical cowboy’”以及“We were blamed for riding in, distributing our pills and creating unreasonable expectations.”可知,无国界医生组织成立之初是不被人们所接受的。 11.How is MSF different from other organizations according to Cameron? A.It has a lot of faithful donors. B.It involves many journalists. C.It is operated by doctors themselves. D.It obtains funding from the government. 解析:选A。推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“‘Whoa, this is an emergency.We're gonna be there as soon as we get funding.’And MSF has the funding...‘We start right away.’Ninety percent of MSF's funding comes from a devoted base of five million donors.That gives it the independence to speak out and do what's really needed.”可知无国界医生组织不同于其他人道主义组织的主要特点之一在于它有许多可靠的捐赠者。 D (2024·沈阳五校协作体高二上期末)We've all had a guilty pleasure or two.Maybe it was an awkward TV show that we enjoyed a little bit too much, maybe a song we listened to ironically until it became a bit too unironic.Perhaps a snack which was very disgusting but it wound up coming back around to be delicious, or a movie which was very egregious but it ended up being a fantastic one.Though we often wonder why we enjoy these things, we should really be asking ourselves why we feel guilty for enjoying them. With the obvious exception of things that are harmful to people, our harsh judgment toward ourselves and others over what we enjoy does nothing but harms our individual expression and enjoyment. It's natural to want to appear “cool” to other people—whatever that may mean to you.With the cultural tendency and the means to share literally anything and everything you enjoy via social media, we perfectly curate (组织) the media we consume to match some sort of the imagined ideal aesthetic (美学)—a trap that's much too easy to fall into.Don't fall into the trap! My point is, the things that hold us back from openly enjoying our“guilty pleasures”often come from completely unfounded places.This is especially true that a teenage girl would rather be misunderstood than admit she likes pink.Frankly, what's the point? Who are you proving yourself to, and why do you feel the need to prove yourself? If you're not harming anyone, and you are getting happiness from something, then why bother holding yourself back from it just to preserve some kind of curated image of whom you're supposed to be? Life is hard enough as it is.If you've found something that eases the stress of life even just a little bit, hold onto it for dear life.Read a super tacky (俗气的) romance novel.Throw that guilt right out of the window with absolutely no regrets, and do whatever makes you happy. [语篇解读]本文是议论文。不要因为自己喜欢的事情不被世俗理解而感到罪恶,只要你喜欢的事情对别人无害、能让你快乐,就尽情去做吧。 12.What does the underlined word “egregious” mean in the first paragraph? A.Moving. B.Unpopular. C.Thrilling. D.Unbearable. 解析:选D。词义猜测题。根据语境可知,画线词与fantastic(极好的,了不起的)意义相反,分析四个选项可知,D项Unbearable(无法忍受的)与画线词意义最为接近。moving“感人的”;unpopular“不受欢迎的”;thrilling“令人兴奋不已的”。 13.What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A.Most people want to gain recognition from others. B.Social media has a bad impact on self­recognition. C.The cultural tendency sets a standard for the ideal aesthetic. D.People enjoy curating the media that they consume. 解析:选A。细节理解题。结合第三段中的“It's natural to want to appear ‘cool’ to other people...we perfectly curate(组织)the media we consume to match some sort of the imagined ideal aesthetic(美学)”可知,我们总是想要维护自己的形象,期待得到别人的认可,故A项正确。 14.What would hold us back from enjoying “guilty pleasures”? A.The desire to lead a simple life. B.The intention to show off ourselves. C.The need to admit that we like pink. D.The purpose to guard our ideal image. 解析:选D。根据第四段中的“why bother holding yourself back from it just to preserve some kind of curated image of who you're supposed to be?”可以看出,维护自己的完美形象可能会阻碍自己去享受“罪恶乐趣”,故D项正确。 15.Which of the following may the author agree with? A.Find ways to overcome hard life. B.Set ourselves free from fixed opinions. C.Have an in­depth talk with ourselves to find our souls. D.Talk with people and make our own decisions. 解析:选B。根据第三段中的“some sort of the imagined ideal...Don't fall into the trap!”和第四段中的“why bother holding yourself back...image of whom you're supposed to be?”可知,作者建议读者不要掉入一些想象的理想美学的陷阱,而是要勇敢地摆脱固有看法,尽情享受生活,故B项正确。 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。 Ageing can be a difficult time for many people:They may feel lonely, and have financial stress or medical issues.16( ).But some elderly individuals may need the help of people who volunteer their time to boost their spirits and aid them with basic tasks.Considering you want to help the elderly, here are the ways to find volunteer opportunities. 17( ).Your community likely has elderly individuals who could need things such as a simple conversation, buying them groceries, or taking them to clinics.Asking local authorities such as community service centers, medical professionals, or departments of ageing can make you find volunteer opportunities to help the elderly. Work at a local senior living community.Your local area probably has senior living communities such as assisted living and nursing facilities.18( ).Contact the local senior living community's staff to ask how you can volunteer to help the elderly in their facilities. Go through the application process.Organizations, government agencies, and private care facilities will generally require that you apply to volunteer in their community.19( ).Your application may include: a written or electronic application, an interview, a background check with your fingerprinting. Donate money to an elderly cause.You may not be able to give much time to volunteer work but still want to help the elderly.20( ).In some cases, you may be able to specify how you would like your donation to be spent, such as for games or food. A.Speak with local authorities B.Join a group or an organization C.Many seniors rely on the help of family and friends as they get older D.These are also great places to volunteer your time to help the elderly E.An excellent way to do this is to donate money to an organization that helps seniors F.These often need volunteers to help the elderly in your community and beyond G.This is to ensure the safety of the elderly from persons who may try to take advantage of them [语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。很多老年人需要志愿者服务,本文介绍了为老年人提供志愿者服务的渠道。 16.解析:选C。根据下文表转折的连词But可知,本空应与下文“some elderly individuals may need the help of people who volunteer their time to boost their spirits and aid them with basic tasks”构成转折关系,C选项描述的是不需要志愿者服务的老年人,与下文构成转折关系,符合语境。 17.解析:选A。本空位于段首,是该段的主题句,且由三、四、五段的段首主题句可知此空应选祈使句。第二段中的local authorities在A选项中出现,故选A。 18.解析:选D。D选项中的These指代的是上文中的“assisted living and nursing facilities”,而且D项中的 places与 facilities相呼应,故选D。误解分析:本空易误选F项,虽然F选项也有代词 These,F选项中的“help the elderly in your community and beyond(帮助在你的社区以内或以外的老人)”与本段主题句“Work at a local senior living community.(在当地的老人生活社区工作)”不符,故F项错误。 19.解析:选G。根据上文中的“you apply to volunteer in their community”可知,提供志愿者服务需要提出申请才行,目的正是G选项中所描述的“ensure the safety of the elderly(确保老年人的安全)”。 20.解析:选E。本段主题句“Donate money to an elderly cause.”中的关键词Donate money在E选项中出现,且E选项中的this指代设空处前一句中的“help the elderly(帮助老人)”这件事。 第二部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分) 阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 (2024·河北承德高二上六校联考)Volunteering has been a way of life for me for the past five years since I was fifteen.

Mrs.Parmele looked up at us and the whispering stopped.“Class, this is John Evans,”Mrs.Parmele announced, trying to sound friendly.John looked around and smiled, expecting somebody would smile back.Nobody did.I held my breath, hoping Mrs.Parmele wouldn't notice the empty desk next to mine.She did and pointed him in that direction.He smiled at me as he slid into the seat, but I turned my eyes away. A week passing by, John still had no friend.“It's his fault,”I told my mother one night.“He barely even knows how to count.”My mother had grown to know John through my nightly comments.She always listened patiently and sometimes nodded thoughtfully. Another day at lunchtime,“Can I sit by you?”John stood by me, plate in hand and smile on face.I looked around and agreed a bit unwillingly.As I watched him eat and listened to him chat, it dawned on me that he was actually pleasant to be around.And I was determined John would remain friendless no longer. One evening, when Mother kissed me good night, I uttered,“Mom, tomorrow is John's birthday.He's not going to get anything.No cake.No presents.Nobody even cares.”Mother and I both knew whenever a kid had a birthday, his mother would bring cupcakes for the class.But John's mother worked all day.His special day would go unnoticed!“Don't worry,”Mom said,“I'm sure everything will turn out fine.” The next day, I wished John a happy birthday first thing in the morning, and his embarrassed smile showed me he was glad I had remembered.Till the last class, nothing special happened. 注意:1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Suddenly I heard a familiar voice singing the birthday song.                                                                          John kindly shared his cupcakes with the class.                                                                          [参考范文] Suddenly I heard a familiar voice singing the birthday song. Moments later, Mother came through the door with a basket of cupcakes.Under her arm was a smartly wrapped present with a red bow on top.Mrs.Parmele's high­pitched voice joined in while the class stared at me for an explanation.The class felt amazed at first and then excitedly sang along.Mother found John, put the cupcakes and gift on his desk and said,“Happy birthday, John.”So grateful was John that he smiled with tears in his eyes. John kindly shared his cupcakes with the class. Offering cupcakes proudly and accepting sincere wishes from everyone, he could not conceal his happiness with a wave of applause and cheer erupting from the class.Never before had I seen such a moving scene in my life! Happy for John, I cast a thankful glimpse at Mother, who smiled at me in return.Years having gone by, I remember the day vividly: the soft tones of my mother's voice, the flash in a boy's eyes and the taste of the sweetest cupcake.
