Temperatures will be as low as 8 degrees below zero. The snow will continue into next week. On Wednesday, a storm will bring strong winds and rain. Along with the melting (融化的) snow, this could mean flood warnings for central parts of the UK. The southwestern coast will be a different story, with warm weather moving up from the Atlantic. This will mean lots of sun with high temperatures of up to 13 degrees. However, looking at the monthly forecast, even this area will be expecting snow over the Christmas holiday. It looks like the whole of the UK will enjoy a white Christmas. Remember to keep warm and check on your neighbors, especially those who are old. 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5的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。 A If you are looking for apps to learn English for studying abroad, you might be confused.

It is a program designed to bring ballet to girls of color in her community. Aesha Ash is one of the few women of color to ever grace the stages of the School of American Ballet in New York City. She wants to expose her community to more positive images of women of color through the use of ballet. She wants to show the world that beauty and grace are not defined by status or race. Aesha grew up in the inner city of Rochester, New York, where crime, gun violence and poverty were among the biggest threats to the community. For her, that’s normal. That’s just life in the neighborhood, but what she remembers most is the dance studio. She started dancing at the age of five. A teacher mentioned to her mother that she had some promise in ballet, and that it would be difficult for her, as a woman of color, to enter the ballet world. But the hardship she faced was the very thing that pushed her to pursue a career in ballet. And there’s so much negative stereotypes (刻板印象) and misunderstanding of who they are in the media. Through the use of imagery and her career as a ballet dancer, she challenges stereotypes that exist for women of color, particularly those from inner-city communities. “It’s important that our girls see that side of themselves because for many kids it’s hard to be what you can’t see. I hadn’t seen a black ballet dancer before I decided that was what I wanted to be. It was really important for me to be in my environment displaying that because this is where I’m from. It was always beyond ballet,” Aesha Ash stated. 24. Why did Aesha start The Swan Dreams Project? A. To promote the images of females of color by ballet. B. To expose her community to a world of women of color. C. To grace the stages of the School of American Ballet. D. To show the world that beauty and grace are defined by status. 25. Which of the following best describes the community she grew up in? A. Comfortable. B. Ancient. C. Peaceful. D. Unsafe. 26. What can’t we know from the passage? A. Aesha had a gift for ballet according to her teacher. B. The hardship Aesha faced was the color of her skin. C Acsha wanted to be a ballet dancer because of a woman dancer of color. D. It is not easy to change the stereotypes that exist for women of color. 27. What is the main idea of the text? A. A teacher provides chances for girls of color. B. A woman brings ballet to the girls of color. C. Ballet changes the life of a woman of color. D. A woman has changed the negative stereotypes. 【答案】24. A 25. D 26. C 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍艾莎创办了一个“天鹅之梦”项目，旨在将芭蕾舞带给有色人种女孩。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据首段首句“Aesha Ash is a ballet dancer who began The Swan Dreams Project in 2011. (艾莎·阿什是一名芭蕾舞演员，她于2011年创办了“天鹅之梦”项目。)”以及倒数第二句“She wants to expose her community to more positive images of women of color through the use of ballet. (她想通过芭蕾向她的社区展示更多有色人种女性的正面形象。)”可知，艾莎·阿什创办了“天鹅之梦”项目是为了通过芭蕾向她的社区展示更多有色人种女性的正面形象。故选A。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段首句“Aesha grew up in the inner city of Rochester, New York, where crime, gun violence and poverty were among the biggest threats to the community. (艾莎在纽约罗彻斯特的内城长大，在那里，犯罪、枪支暴力和贫困是社区面临的最大威胁。)”可知，艾莎成长的社区很不安全，面临着犯罪、枪支暴力和贫困等问题。故选D。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段倒数第二句“A teacher mentioned to her mother that she had some promise in ballet, and that it would be difficult for her, as a woman of color, to enter the ballet world. (一位老师对她的母亲说，她在芭蕾舞方面很有前途，但作为一名有色人种女性，她很难进入芭蕾舞界。)”以及第三段首句“And there’s so much negative stereotypes (刻板印象) and misunderstanding of who they are in the media. (媒体对他们有很多负面的刻板印象和误解。)”可知，艾莎的老师说她有芭蕾舞天赋；艾莎面对的困难是她是有色人种；媒体对他们有很多负面的刻板印象和误解，突破这种刻板印象并不容易。C项的内容没有提到。故选C。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据首段第一二句“Aesha Ash is a ballet dancer who began The Swan Dreams Project in 2011. It is a program designed to bring ballet to girls of color in her community. (艾莎·阿什是一名芭蕾舞演员，她于2011年创办了“天鹅之梦”项目。这是一个旨在将芭蕾舞带给她所在社区有色人种女孩的项目。)”可知，本文主要介绍艾莎办了一个旨在将芭蕾舞带给有色人种女孩的“天鹅之梦”项目。故选B。 C From self-driving cars to carebots(护理机器人)for elderly people, rapid development in technology has long represented a possible threat to many jobs normally performed by people.But experts now believe that almost 50 percent of occupations existing today will be completely unnecessary by 2025 as artificial intelligence continues to change businesses. “The next fifteen years will see a revolution in how we work, and a revolution will necessarily take place in how we plan and think about workplaces,” said Peter Andrew, Director of Workplace Strategy for CBRE Asia Pacific. A growing number of jobs in the future will require creative intelligence, social skills and the ability to use artificial intelligence. The report is based on interviews with 200 experts, business leaders and young people from Asia Pacific, Europe and North America. It shows that in the US technology already ravages more job opportunities than it creates. But the report states: “Losing occupations does not change what people do.” Growth in new jobs could occur as much, according to the research. “The growth of 20 to 40 person companies that have the speed and technological know-how will directly challenge big companies,“ it states. A 2014 report by Pew Research found 52 percent of experts in artificial intelligence and robotics were optimistic about the future and believed there would still be enough jobs in the next few years. The optimists pictured “a future in which robots do not take the place of more jobs than they create,” according to Aaron Smith, the report’s co-author. “Technology will continue to affect jobs, but more jobs seem likely to be created. Although here have always been unemployed people, when we reached a few billion people there were billions of jobs. There is no shortage of things that need to be done and that will not change,” Microsoft’s Jonathan Grudin told researchers. 28. Why does the author mention self-driving cars and carebots in the first paragraph? A. To support his argument. B. To provide examples. C. To introduce the topic. D. To make comparisons. 29. What does the underlined word “ravages” mean in paragraph 4? A. Loses B. provides C. develops D. destroys 30. What can be inferred from the report? A. Big companies will face fewer challenges. B. Small companies will surely defeat big companies. C. Work efficiency and technological operation will be of vital importance for companies. D. In the future, everyone will be equipped with great social skills and the ability to use AI. 31. In which column will the passage be found most probably? A. Science B. Education C. Economy D. Fashion 【答案】28. C 29. D 30. C 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。专家们现在认为，随着人工智能继续改变企业，到2025年，目前几乎50%的职业将完全没有必要。未来越来越多的工作需要创造性智能、社交技能和使用人工智能的能力。 28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一自然段“From self-driving cars to carebots(护理机器人)for elderly people, rapid development in technology has long represented a possible threat to many jobs normally performed by people. (从自动驾驶汽车到老年人护理机器人，技术的快速发展长期以来一直可能威胁到许多通常由人完成的工作。)”可知，作者在第一段中提到自动驾驶汽车和护理机器人是为了引入文章主题。故选C。 【29题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线词上文“It shows that in the US technology already (这表明，在美国，技术已经)”以及下文“more job opportunities than it creates (比它创造的更多的就业机会)”可知，下文it指代技术，划线词与creates形成对比，即这份报告表明，技术破坏的就业机会超过了它创造的就业机会。A. Loses失去；B. provides提供；C. develops发展；D. destroys破坏。故选D。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段““The growth of 20 to 40 person companies that have the speed and technological know-how will directly challenge big companies,“ it states. (报告指出：“拥有速度和技术诀窍的20至40人公司的增长将直接挑战大公司。”)”可知，工作效率和技术操作对公司来说至关重要。故选C。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。本文主要介绍了人工智能的发展给就业带来的冲击，未来越来越多的工作需要创造性智能、社交技能和使用人工智能的能力。所以本文最有可能出现在科学栏。故选A。 D For some people, music is no fun at all. About 4% of the population is what scientists call “amusic”. People who are amusic are born without the ability to enjoy musical notes. Amusic people often cannot tell the differences between two songs. As a result, songs sound like noise to an amusic. Many amusics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other. Life can be hard for amusics. In fact, most people cannot understand what it feels like to be amusic. Just going to a restaurant or a shopping center can be uncomfortable or even painful. That is why many amusics have to stay away from places where there is music. However, this can result in social loneliness. “I used to hate parties,” says Margaret, a seventy-year-old woman who only recently discovered that she was amusic. By studying people like Margaret, scientists are finally learning how to identify (辨别) this unusual condition. Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from those of people who can enjoy music. The difference is complex(复杂的), and it is not connected with poor hearing. Amusics can understand other non-musical sounds well. They also have no problems understanding common speech. Scientists compare amusics to people who just can ’t see certain colors. Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed (诊断). For years, Margaret felt embarrassed about her music problem. Now she knows that she is not alone. That makes it easier for her to explain. “When people invite me to a concert, I just say ’No, thanks. I ’m amusic, ’” says Margaret. 32. Amusics are the people who ______. A. like music B. are born unable to enjoy music C. don ’t like music D. have poor listening 33. Life is hard for amusics mainly because ______. A. they know they cannot enjoy music B. they hate parties, restaurants or shopping centers C. they try to stay at the place full of music D. they are not understood by others 34. What causes amusics to be different from most people according to scientists? A. Their lack of colors. B. Their poor hearing. C. Their brains. D. Their problems with speech. 35. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Some people ’s inability to enjoy music. B. Some people ’ s musical ability. C. Amusics ’ strange behaviors. D. Diagnosis and treatment of amusics. 【答案】32. B 33. D 34. C 35. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。作者主要介绍了没有享受音乐的能力的一类人，被称为amusic，他们之前都没有得到统一的诊断或者认识, 直到现在才知道自己的问题。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“People who are amusic are born without the ability to enjoy musical notes.（amusic是指天生就没有欣赏音符的能力。）”可知amusics指的是那些生来就没有享受音符的能力的人。故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的 “Life can be hard for amusics. In fact, most people cannot understand what it feels like to be amusic.（对于amusics来说，生活是艰难的。事实上，大多数人无法理解音乐是什么感觉。）”可知amusics生活可能很难,因为大多数人不明白他们的感觉。故选D。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段开头 “Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from those of people who can enjoy music.（科学家们说，amusics的大脑不同于那些能享受音乐的人。）”可知，导致amusics与大多数人不同的原因是他们的大脑不同，故选C。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。全文主要讲述的是没有享受音乐的能力的一类人，被称为amusic，他们之前都没有得到统一的诊断或者认识,直到现在才知道自己的问题。A选项“Some people's inability to enjoy music（一些没有欣赏音乐能力的人）”。故选A。 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。 It is a big struggle when we encounter problems in school.

But always keep in mind that there are ways to overcome these challenges.(但要记住，总有办法克服这些挑战)中的“these challenges”与之对应，指的就是这些问题；而下一句“Here are four ways to overcome the barriers to your academic success and help you achieve your goals in life.(这里有四种方法可以帮助你克服学业成功的障碍，帮助你实现人生目标)”中的“four ways”是对选项E中的“there are ways ”的具体说明，语意连续，符合语境。故选E。 【37题详解】 根据本段主题句“Manage your time well.(管理好你的时间)”可知，本段主要是介绍如何管理时间，平衡日常和学业之间的关系。由上一句“When tom between hanging out with friends and your schoolwork, make sure that you have set a schedule when meeting up with them.(当你在和朋友出去玩和你的功课之间徘徊时，确保你和他们见面时已制定了一个时间表)”可知，这里给出了管理时间以保证学业功课的一个方法，选项G. In that way, you will not have to rush into finishing your schoolwork that needs to be done.(这样，你就不必匆忙完成需要完成的作业了)进一步说明了用这种方法可以不用急急忙忙完成作业，语意衔接合理，符合段落主题。故选G。 【38题详解】 根据下一句“You can also avoid rushing when you have a list of what project you should do first.(你也可以避免匆忙，当你有一个清单，你应该先做什么项目)”中的“You can also”可知，空处应该是“You can...”的类似句式，选项F. You can make a to-do list which can be a big help in doing your schoolwork.(你可以做一个待办事项清单，这对你的作业有很大的帮助)句式相符；同时根据段落主题句“Make full preparations(做好充分准备)”和上一句“Nothing can beat a person who is prepared.(没有什么能打败一个有准备的人)”可知，选项F是具体说明了如何做准备的方法，衔接合理，符合语境。故选F。 【39题详解】 空处为第四段段落主题句，由第二、三、五段可知，应为祈使句，答案应选自选项A、B；根据本段中“Life can make you feel discouraged and lonely but always keep in my mind that it will all get better in the end.

Have a positive attitude.(有一个积极的态度)意思相符。故选B。 【40题详解】 由前两句“You should reward yourself once in a while for doing well.

The Vikings came in the eighth century and left behind lots of new vocabulary, as well as the names of many ____61____ (locate) across the UK. The last group were the Normans.

I was just a kid then, and my big sister told me there was no Santa Claus. I fled to my Grandma because she would be straight with me. I knew Grandma always told me the truth. Grandma was home, and I told her everything. She was ready for me. “No Santa Claus!” She shouted. “Ridiculous! Don’t believe it.” That rumor (谣言) has been going around for years, and it makes me mad, plain mad. “Now, put on your coat, and let’s go.” “Go where, Grandma?” I asked. “Where” turned out to be Kerby’s General Store, the one store in town that had a little bit of just about everything. As we walked through its doors, Grandma handed me ten dollars. “Take this money.” she said, “and buy something for someone who needs it. I’ll wait for you in the car.” Then she turned and walked out of Kerby’s. I was only eight years old. I’d often gone shopping with my mother, but never had I shopped for anything all by myself. The store seemed big and crowded, full of people competing to finish their Christmas shopping. For a few moments I just stood there, confused, holding that ten-dollar bill, wondering what to buy and who to buy it for. I suddenly thought of Bobby Decker, who was a kid with bad breath and messy hair. He sat right behind me in Mrs. Pollock’s grade-two class. Bobby Decker didn’t have a coat. I knew that because he never went out for recess (课间休息) during the winter. His mother always wrote a note, telling the teacher that he had a cough, but we kids knew that Bobby Decker didn’t have a cough, and he didn’t have a coat. I would buy Bobby Decker a coat! I settled on a red one, which looked really warm, and he would like that. “Is this a Christmas present for someone?” the lady behind the counter asked kindly, as I laid my ten dollars down. “Yes.” The nice lady smiled at me, put the coat in a bag and wished me a Merry Christmas. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卷相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: That evening, Grandma helped me pack the coat in Christmas paper. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: A minute later, the door opened. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 That evening, Grandma helped me wrap the coat in Christmas paper. She wrote “To Bobby, From Santa Claus” on it, after which she drove me over to Bobby Decker’s house, explaining I was officially one of Santa’s helpers. Grandma parked down the street from Bobby’s house, and I took a deep breath, and dashed for his front door. Seeing no other people notice us, I put the Christmas present down, pounded his doorbell and then Grandma and I hid in the car. A minute later, the door opened. Out went skinny Bobby. Seeing the coat in the bag, he looked very astonished and then called his mother to go out. After hearing them say “Thanks” to Santa Claus, I felt very proud of what I had done. At that time I decided to be Santa’s helper forever. It was on that night that I realized the truth that he who has no Christmas in his heart will never find Christmas under a tree. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在圣诞节前夕，从姐姐那里得知没有圣诞老人存在的“真相”后，感到困惑并逃向奶奶寻求答案。奶奶坚决否认了这一谣言，并鼓励作者去做一件有意义的事情——用她给的十美元去为需要帮助的人买礼物。作者选择了去镇上的综合商店，为同班同学Bobby Decker买了一件红色的外套，因为他没有外套穿，冬天从不出去课间休息。通过这个经历，作者不仅传递了温暖和关爱，也体会到了给予的快乐和圣诞节的真正意义。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“那天晚上，奶奶帮我用圣诞包装纸把外套包了起来。”可知，第一段可描写作者和奶奶包装外套的尾声以及给Bobby Decker送外套的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“一分钟后，门开了”可知，第二段可描写Bobby Decker收到外套后的反应，以及这件事后作者的内心活动，作者为自己的所作所为感到非常自豪，决定永远做圣诞老人的帮手。 2.续写线索：送外套——放下礼物——Bobby惊讶——感谢圣诞老人——感到开心——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①注意：noertice/pay attention to ②决定做某事：decide to do/determine to dosan ③意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 ①惊讶的：astonished/amazed ②以……自豪：be proud of/take pride in 【点睛】[高分句型1]She wrote “To Bobby, From Santa Claus” on it, after which she drove me over to Bobby Decker’s house, explaining I was officially one of Santa’s helpers.（运用了“介词+关系代词”引导非限制性定语从句，现在分词作状语，省略了that的宾语从句） [高分句型2]After hearing them say “Thanks” to Santa Claus, I felt very proud of what I had done.（运用了动名词作宾语，what引导宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$高一英语听力模拟试题30第1节听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3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。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。Hello, this is mrs.

B Aesha Ash is a ballet dancer who began The Swan Dreams Project in 2011. It is a program designed to bring ballet to girls of color in her community. Aesha Ash is one of the few women of color to ever grace the stages of the School of American Ballet in New York City. She wants to expose her community to more positive images of women of color through the use of ballet. She wants to show the world that beauty and grace are not defined by status or race. Aesha grew up in the inner city of Rochester, New York, where crime, gun violence and poverty were among the biggest threats to the community. For her, that’s normal. That’s just life in the neighborhood, but what she remembers most is the dance studio. She started dancing at the age of five. A teacher mentioned to her mother that she had some promise in ballet, and that it would be difficult for her, as a woman of color, to enter the ballet world. But the hardship she faced was the very thing that pushed her to pursue a career in ballet. And there’s so much negative stereotypes (刻板印象) and misunderstanding of who they are in the media. Through the use of imagery and her career as a ballet dancer, she challenges stereotypes that exist for women of color, particularly those from inner-city communities. “It’s important that our girls see that side of themselves because for many kids it’s hard to be what you can’t see. I hadn’t seen a black ballet dancer before I decided that was what I wanted to be. It was really important for me to be in my environment displaying that because this is where I’m from. It was always beyond ballet,” Aesha Ash stated. 24. Why did Aesha start The Swan Dreams Project? A. To promote the images of females of color by ballet. B. To expose her community to a world of women of color. C. To grace the stages of the School of American Ballet. D. To show the world that beauty and grace are defined by status. 25. Which of the following best describes the community she grew up in? A. Comfortable. B. Ancient. C. Peaceful. D. Unsafe. 26. What can’t we know from the passage? A. Aesha had a gift for ballet according to her teacher. B. The hardship Aesha faced was the color of her skin. C. Acsha wanted to be a ballet dancer because of a woman dancer of color. D. It is not easy to change the stereotypes that exist for women of color. 27. What is the main idea of the text? A. A teacher provides chances for girls of color. B. A woman brings ballet to the girls of color. C. Ballet changes the life of a woman of color. D. A woman has changed the negative stereotypes. C From self-driving cars to carebots(护理机器人)for elderly people, rapid development in technology has long represented a possible threat to many jobs normally performed by people.But experts now believe that almost 50 percent of occupations existing today will be completely unnecessary by 2025 as artificial intelligence continues to change businesses. “The next fifteen years will see a revolution in how we work, and a revolution will necessarily take place in how we plan and think about workplaces,” said Peter Andrew, Director of Workplace Strategy for CBRE Asia Pacific. A growing number of jobs in the future will require creative intelligence, social skills and the ability to use artificial intelligence. The report is based on interviews with 200 experts, business leaders and young people from Asia Pacific, Europe and North America. It shows that in the US technology already ravages more job opportunities than it creates. But the report states: “Losing occupations does not change what people do.” Growth in new jobs could occur as much, according to the research. “The growth of 20 to 40 person companies that have the speed and technological know-how will directly challenge big companies,“ it states. A 2014 report by Pew Research found 52 percent of experts in artificial intelligence and robotics were optimistic about the future and believed there would still be enough jobs in the next few years. The optimists pictured “a future in which robots do not take the place of more jobs than they create,” according to Aaron Smith, the report’s co-author. “Technology will continue to affect jobs, but more jobs seem likely to be created. Although here have always been unemployed people, when we reached a few billion people there were billions of jobs. There is no shortage of things that need to be done and that will not change,” Microsoft’s Jonathan Grudin told researchers. 28. Why does the author mention self-driving cars and carebots in the first paragraph? A. To support his argument. B. To provide examples. C. To introduce the topic. D. To make comparisons. 29 What does the underlined word “ravages” mean in paragraph 4? A. Loses B. provides C. develops D. destroys 30. What can be inferred from the report? A. Big companies will face fewer challenges. B. Small companies will surely defeat big companies. C. Work efficiency and technological operation will be of vital importance for companies. D. In the future, everyone will be equipped with great social skills and the ability to use AI. 31. In which column will the passage be found most probably? A. Science B. Education C. Economy D. Fashion D For some people, music is no fun at all. About 4% of the population is what scientists call “amusic”. People who are amusic are born without the ability to enjoy musical notes. Amusic people often cannot tell the differences between two songs. As a result, songs sound like noise to an amusic. Many amusics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other. Life can be hard for amusics. In fact, most people cannot understand what it feels like to be amusic. Just going to a restaurant or a shopping center can be uncomfortable or even painful. That is why many amusics have to stay away from places where there is music. However, this can result in social loneliness. “I used to hate parties,” says Margaret, a seventy-year-old woman who only recently discovered that she was amusic. By studying people like Margaret, scientists are finally learning how to identify (辨别) this unusual condition. Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from those of people who can enjoy music. The difference is complex(复杂的), and it is not connected with poor hearing. Amusics can understand other non-musical sounds well. They also have no problems understanding common speech. Scientists compare amusics to people who just can ’t see certain colors. Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed (诊断). For years, Margaret felt embarrassed about her music problem. Now she knows that she is not alone. That makes it easier for her to explain. “When people invite me to a concert, I just say ’No, thanks. I ’m amusic, ’” says Margaret. 32. Amusics are the people who ______. A. like music B. are born unable to enjoy music C. don ’t like music D. have poor listening 33. Life is hard for amusics mainly because ______. A. they know they cannot enjoy music B. they hate parties, restaurants or shopping centers C. they try to stay at the place full of music D. they are not understood by others 34. What causes amusics to be different from most people according to scientists? A. Their lack of colors. B. Their poor hearing. C. Their brains. D. Their problems with speech. 35. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Some people ’s inability to enjoy music. B. Some people ’ s musical ability. C. Amusics ’ strange behaviors. D. Diagnosis and treatment of amusics. 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。 It is a big struggle when we encounter problems in school.

I was just a kid then, and my big sister told me there was no Santa Claus. I fled to my Grandma because she would be straight with me. I knew Grandma always told me the truth. Grandma was home, and I told her everything. She was ready for me. “No Santa Claus!” She shouted. “Ridiculous! Don’t believe it.” That rumor (谣言) has been going around for years, and it makes me mad, plain mad. “Now, put on your coat, and let’s go.” “Go where, Grandma?” I asked. “Where” turned out to be Kerby’s General Store, the one store in town that had a little bit of just about everything. As we walked through its doors, Grandma handed me ten dollars. “Take this money.” she said, “and buy something for someone who needs it. I’ll wait for you in the car.” Then she turned and walked out of Kerby’s. I was only eight years old. I’d often gone shopping with my mother, but never had I shopped for anything all by myself. The store seemed big and crowded, full of people competing to finish their Christmas shopping. For a few moments I just stood there, confused, holding that ten-dollar bill, wondering what to buy and who to buy it for. I suddenly thought of Bobby Decker, who was a kid with bad breath and messy hair. He sat right behind me in Mrs. Pollock’s grade-two class. Bobby Decker didn’t have a coat. I knew that because he never went out for recess (课间休息) during the winter. His mother always wrote a note, telling the teacher that he had a cough, but we kids knew that Bobby Decker didn’t have a cough, and he didn’t have a coat. I would buy Bobby Decker a coat! I settled on a red one, which looked really warm, and he would like that. “Is this a Christmas present for someone?” the lady behind the counter asked kindly, as I laid my ten dollars down. “Yes.” The nice lady smiled at me, put the coat in a bag and wished me a Merry Christmas. 注意：1. 续写词数应150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卷相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: That evening, Grandma helped me pack the coat in Christmas paper. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: A minute later, the door opened. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
