After climbing up a hill for a panoramic (全景的) view of the blue sea, white buildings and green olive trees, I paused to catch my breath and then positioned myself to take the best photo of this panorama. Unfortunately, just as I took out my camera, a woman approached from behind, and planted herself right in front of my view. Like me, this woman was here to stop, sigh and appreciate the view. Patient as I was, after about 15 minutes, my camera scanning the sun and reviewing the shot I would eventually take, I asked myself: “Was it too much to ask her to move so I could take just one picture of the landscape?” Sure, I could have asked her, but something prevented me from doing so. Finally, seeing she seemed so content in her observation, I made up my mind not to mess with that. Another 15 minutes passed and I grew bored. The woman was still there. I decided to take the photo anyway. And now when I look at it, I think her presence in the photo is what makes the image interesting. The landscape, beautiful on its own, somehow comes to life and breathes because this woman is engaging with it. This photo, with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that woman who “ruined” it, now hangs on a wall in my bedroom. What would she think if she knew that her figure is captured and frozen on some stranger's bedroom wall? A bedroom, after all, is a very private space, in which some woman I don't even know has been immortalized (永存). In some ways, she lives in my house. Perhaps we all live in each other's spaces. Perhaps this is what photos are for: to remind us that we all appreciate beauty, and that we all share a common desire for pleasure, for connection, and for something that is greater than us. That photo is a reminder, a captured moment, an unspoken conversation between two women, separated only by a thin square of glass. 4. How did the author feel when a stranger blocked her view after the first 15 minutes? A. Sorrowful. B. Astonished. C. Angry. D. Hesitant. 5. According to the article, what might be the stranger doing at the top of the hill? A. Reflecting on her past. B. Taking photos. C. Enjoying herself. D. Losing her patience. 6. Why was the photo special to the author? A. Because a stranger brought life to the photo. B. Because the photo was hung in her bedroom. C. Because a picturesque landscape was captured in the photo. D. Because the photo in her house reminded her of the woman. 7. What is the best title for this article? A. An Unspoken Encounter B. A Great Trip in Italy C. The Power of Photography D. An Unknown Stranger 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文, 讲述了作者在意大利的山丘上拍下一张有人入镜的照片, 并最终将照片挂在家中卧室的故事。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。由第三段中的“Patient as I was, after about 15 minutes, my camera scanning the sun and reviewing the shot I would eventually take, I asked myself: ‘Was it too much to ask her to move so I could take just one picture of the landscape?’ Sure, I could have asked her, but something prevented me from doing so.(尽管我很耐心，但大约15分钟后，我的相机扫描了太阳并回顾了我最终拍摄的照片，我问自己：“让她动一下，这样我就可以拍一张风景照，这太过分了吗？”当然，我本可以问她的，但又好像有些事情阻止了我这样做。)”可知，作者在等待了15分钟后，虽然有些不耐烦，但仍在犹豫是否要请那位女士移开。因此，作者的态度是犹豫的。故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。由第二段中的“Like me, this woman was here to stop, sigh and appreciate the view.(和我一样，这个女人在这里停下来，慨叹，欣赏风景。)”和第三段中的“Finally, seeing she seemed so content in her observation, I made up my mind not to mess with that.(最后, 看到她似乎对自己的观察很满意, 我决定不去打扰她。)”可知，那位女士和作者一样，是来欣赏风景的。因此，她可能在山顶玩得很开心，欣赏美丽的景色。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“And now when I look at it, I think her presence in the photo is what makes the image interesting. The landscape, beautiful on its own, somehow comes to life and breathes because this woman is engaging with it.(现在当我看着它的时候, 我觉得她在照片中的存在使这张照片变得有趣。这片风景本身就很美, 不知怎的, 因为这位女士的参与, 风景变得有了生命和气息。)”可知, 是这位陌生人的出现给照片带来了生命力。故选A。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章倒数第三段的“This photo, with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that woman who “ruined” it, now hangs on a wall in my bedroom.(这张照片，展现在我面前的独特之美和那个“毁了”它的女人，现在挂在我卧室的墙上。)”以及倒数第二段“Perhaps we all live in each other's spaces. Perhaps this is what photos are for: to remind us that we all appreciate beauty, and that we all share a common desire for pleasure, for connection, and for something that is greater than us.(也许我们都生活在彼此的空间里。也许这就是照片的作用：提醒我们，我们都欣赏美，我们都有一个共同的欲望，那就是快乐、联系和比我们更伟大的东西。)”以及结合全文的内容可知，文章的核心事件是作者在意大利莱切度假时，与一个陌生女人在山顶的邂逅。这个邂逅贯穿了全文，从作者最初想要拍照却被挡住视线，到最终决定拍下包含那位女士的照片，再到多年后对这次邂逅的反思和感悟。因此，最佳标题应该是与这次邂逅直接相关的，即A选项“一次无声的邂逅”。这个标题准确地概括了文章的主题和内容。故选A。 C Our preference for this or that kind of music is obviously a subjective matter. It can also be highly unstable, changing not only during a lifetime, but even on a scale of months, or even days. Yet despite such variety, there are three factors that I think are the main contributors. The first is how we were brought up, or the musical background which surrounded us in our formative years (性格形成时期). The kinds of music that we were exposed to when we were small helped to create very specific mental patterns. However, even the most stable musical pattern can be changed by socio-cultural concerns, and these form the second contribution to our musical preferences. Music, probably from the very beginning of the existence of modern humans, has been used to bring people together in various kinds of activities, because it is really efficient at regulating (调节) the bodily and emotional responses of large groups of participants. Whether you’re into heavy metal, or hip hop, or jazz, your preferences are guided in part by your desire to be a member of some social circle. These two factors seem to suggest that musical preferences are formed unconsciously, without the listener being aware of it, but this is obviously not the case. Nothing is likely to be more important than our own subjective feeling at the time of listening. Especially today, with nearly unlimited access to all styles of music, we use music as a tool for regulating our emotions and moods. This is why when you want to study you might reach for something simple, without words. Or when you’re trying to relax before bed you’ll probably listen to something calming. They point to the fantastic power of music in our lives. 8. In writing paragraph 1, the author aims to ________. A. present some examples B. make a comparison C. list a few reasons D. lead in the topic 9. According to paragraph 1, people’s preferences for music are ________. A. interesting and subjective B. personal and changeable C. unique and obvious D. unconscious and typical 10. What is the function of music in a group activity? A. It can make people familiar with a certain culture. B. It can make people calm down. C. It can bring people together. D. It can create specific mental patterns. 11. What could be inferred from paragraph 4? A. While reading, people are more likely to prefer rap music. B. Preferences for music are totally decided by uncontrolled factors. C. Subjective feeling plays an important role in people’s musical preferences. D. Musical preferences are formed unconsciously. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了影响人们音乐偏好的三个因素。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Yet despite such variety, there are three factors that I think are the main contributors. (然而，尽管有如此多的变化，但我认为有三个因素是主要原因。)”可知，作者在第一段引出了后文要讨论的影响人们音乐偏好的三个因素这一话题。所以作者写第一段的目的是引出话题。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Our preference for this or that kind of music is obviously a subjective matter. It can also be highly unstable, changing not only during a lifetime, but even on a scale of months, or even days. (我们对这种或那种音乐的偏好显然是一个主观问题。它也可能非常不稳定，不仅在一生中会发生变化，甚至在几个月，甚至几天的时间里也会改变。)”可知，人们对音乐的偏好是个人的且多变的。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Music, probably from the very beginning of the existence of modern humans, has been used to bring people together in various kinds of activities, because it is really efficient at regulating (调节) the bodily and emotional responses of large groups of participants. (音乐，可能从现代人类存在之初就被用于在各种活动中把人们聚集在一起，因为它在调节大量参与者的身体和情感反应方面非常有效。)”可知，在集体活动中音乐的作用是把人们聚集在一起。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Nothing is likely to be more important than our own subjective feeling at the time of listening. (在听音乐的时候，没有什么比我们自己的主观感受更重要了。)”和“This is why when you want to study you might reach for something simple, without words. Or when you’re trying to relax before bed you’ll probably listen to something calming. (这就是为什么当你想学习的时候，你可能会选择一些简单的，没有文字的东西。或者当你想在睡觉前放松的时候，你可能会听一些让你平静下来的音乐。)”可知，想学习的时候人们会听简单的音乐，在想放松的时候会听一些让人平静的音乐，这说明主观感受在人们的音乐偏好中起着重要作用。故选C项。 D The ability to detect a nearby presence without seeing or touching it may sound fantastical — but it’s a real ability that some creatures have. A family of African fish known as Momyrids are weakly electric, and have special organs that can locate a nearby target, even when it’s hiding in the mud. Scientists have now developed an artificial sensor system modelled on the ability of these fish. “We developed a new strategy for 3D motion positioning by electronic skin, bio-inspired by ‘electric fish,’” says Dr. Xinge Yu, an associate professor in the Department of Biomedical Eagineering at the City University of Hong Kong. The team described their e-skin sensor in a paper published on November 14 in Nature. The artificial sensor is multi-layered. One layer acts as a transmitter (发射器), which will generate an electric field once activated, and another layer acts as a receiver to detect both the direction and the distance to an object. A separate controller creates the driving signal to activate the transmitter. When an object comes within range, the electric field around the sensor is disrupted, which in turn can be detected by the receiver. This data is then processed by a microcontroller unit, which computes the position of the target object and sends that information to a smartphone or other devices. A special biogel (生物凝胶) is used in the sensor, which has the ability to transmit and receive electric signals from a pattern of microchannels on the surface. The end result is a sensor that is thin, soft and flexible, making it easy to adapt to irregular surfaces, such as the human body. In contrast to the traditional sensor system that needs a large number of sensors to achieve spatial positioning, the new system can locate an object precisely in 3D space using just a few sensors. This significantly reduces the power consumption of data collection, transmission, and processing. The researchers hope that this sensor could one day open up a new range of wearable technologies, including sensors for human-machine interaction and thin, flexible e-skin. 12. The first paragraph aims to show _________. A. the special ability of African fish B. the inspiration for a new invention C. the big challenge of locating objects D. the reason for developing a sensor 13. What does the underlined word “disrupted” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. disturb. B. arrange. C. enhance. D. stabilize. 14. What is an advantage of the new sensor system? A. Its sensitivity to different stimulations. B. Its adaptation to environmental changes. C. Its efficiency in achieving 3D positioning. D. Its speed in data collection and processing. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Machine Detective “Wears” Flexible E-skin B. Bio-inspired Sensor “Feels” Without Touching C. E-Skin Sensor: The Future of Machine Learning D. Electric Fields: The Frontier of Object Detection 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了受非洲电鱼特殊能力的启发，科学家开发出一种人造传感器系统，阐述了其原理、优势及应用前景。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The ability to detect a nearby presence without seeing or touching it may sound fantastical — but it’s a real ability that some creatures have. A family of African fish known as Momyrids are weakly electric, and have special organs that can locate a nearby target, even when it’s hiding in the mud. Scientists have now developed an artificial sensor system modelled on the ability of these fish.(不用看或触摸就能探测到附近物体的能力听起来可能很奇妙，但这是一些生物真正拥有的能力。一种名为电鱼的非洲鱼类带有微弱电流，它们有特殊的器官，即使目标藏在泥里也能定位到附近的目标。科学家现在已经开发出一种模仿这些鱼能力的人造传感器系统)”可知，第一段先介绍了非洲电的特殊能力，接着说明科学家基于此开发出人造传感器系统，所以第一段旨在展示一项新发明的灵感来源。故选B项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。结合常识和划线词所在句“When an object comes within range, the electric field around the sensor is disrupted, which in turn can be detected by the receiver.(当一个物体进入范围内时，传感器周围的电场被disrupted，这反过来可以被接收器检测到)”中“be detected by the receiver”可推知，物体进入传感器范围时，电场被干扰，才会有信号被接收器检测到。所以划线词意为“干扰，扰乱”，与“disturb”意思相近。故选A项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“In contrast to the traditional sensor system that needs a large number of sensors to achieve spatial positioning, the new system can locate an object precisely in 3D space using just a few sensors. This significantly reduces the power consumption of data collection, transmission, and processing.(与传统的需要大量传感器来实现空间定位的传感器系统相比，新系统只需几个传感器就能在三维空间中精确定位物体。这显著降低了数据收集、传输和处理的功耗)”可知，新传感器系统的优势在于它在实现三维定位方面的效率高。故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“The ability to detect a nearby presence without seeing or touching it may sound fantastical — but it’s a real ability that some creatures have. A family of African fish known as Momyrids are weakly electric, and have special organs that can locate a nearby target, even when it’s hiding in the mud.

However, a curious phenomenon known as the “lipstick effect” can often be observed. The lipstick effect refers to the phenomenon of consumers spending on small luxury goods even when an economic depression occurs. ___17___ However, many still find the cash for purchases of small luxury items, such as lipstick. This phenomenon was termed the “lipstick effect” in 2001 by Leonard Lauder, chairman of luxury cosmetic company Estée Lauder. He had not only witnessed the phenomenon at work but also realized that it was especially evident in the case of lipstick and other cosmetic products. ___18___ First and perhaps most obviously, consumers may simply wish to give themselves treats now and again to provide distractions from their financial insecurity. Another theory has to do with labour markets. Specifically, during the economic depression, job seeking tends to become more competitive. Thus, people seeking employment may perceive a need to spend money on certain products to improve their physical appearance. ___19___ ___20___ During the global depression of 2007-2009, sales of cosmetics in the United States increased by around 5%. Based on such data, it seems that even in the current insecure economic climate, the luxury cosmetics industry is one that will be sticking around. A. What does lipstick tell us about the economy? B. They do not have enough to spend on big-ticket luxury items. C. The lipstick effect is a behavior that reflects economic conditions and emotional states. D. So, how exactly do consumers who are short of cash justify making such purchases? E. By using products such as lipstick, they may feel more confident during job interviews. F. Whatever the causes of the lipstick effect, this phenomenon is no short-lived trend. G. Under these circumstances, millions of people suddenly found themselves facing financial insecurity. 【答案】16. G 17. B 18. D 19. E 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了在经济萧条期间，消费者倾向于购买小奢侈品如口红的现象，即“口红效应”，及其背后的心理和市场表现。 【16题详解】 由上文“In 2020, the world was fell into an economic down turn as the COVID-19 pandemic caused widespread closures to businesses. (2020年，由于COVID-19大流行导致企业普遍关闭，世界陷入了经济衰退)”可知，本空要说跟“经济衰退对人们影响”有关的话题，由下文“During such times of economic hardship, one may naturally expect that consumer markets will see a decline in expenditure, as people everywhere feel restricted to making only “essential” purchases. (在这样的经济困难时期，人们可能会自然地预期消费市场将看到支出的下降，因为各地的人们都感到只能购买“必需品”)”可知，本句要表达经济衰退对人们消费态度的影响，故G选项“Under these circumstances, millions of people suddenly found themselves facing financial insecurity. (在这种情况下，数以百万计的人突然发现自己面临着经济上的不安全)”承接上文提到的疫情导致经济衰退的情况，并引出下文，符合语境。故选G。 【17题详解】 由上文“The lipstick effect refers to the phenomenon of consumers spending on small luxury goods even when an economic depression occurs. (“口红效应”是指即使经济不景气，消费者也会购买小型奢侈品的现象)”可知，本空要说跟“购买小型奢侈品的原因”有关的话题，由下文“However, many still find the cash for purchases of small luxury items, such as lipstick. (然而，许多人仍然会用现金购买口红等小型奢侈品)”可知，本句要与后文构成转折。故B选项“They do not have enough to spend on big-ticket luxury items. (他们没有足够的钱购买高价奢侈品)”与下文形成对比，先说明人们在经济萧条时没钱买大件奢侈品，接着转折说仍会买小奢侈品，能承上启下，符合语境。故选B。 【18题详解】 由下文“First and perhaps most obviously, consumers may simply wish to give themselves treats now and again to provide distractions from their financial insecurity. Another theory has to do with labour markets. Specifically, during the economic depression, job seeking tends to become more competitive. Thus, people seeking employment may perceive a need to spend money on certain products to improve their physical appearance. (首先，或许也是最明显的一点是，消费者可能只是希望时不时地犒劳一下自己，以分散自己对财务不安全感的注意力。另一个理论与劳动力市场有关。具体来说，在经济萧条时期，求职的竞争变得更加激烈。因此，寻找工作的人可能会觉得有必要花钱购买某些产品来改善他们的外表)”可知，本空要说跟“此类购买原因”有关的话题，故D选项“So, how exactly do consumers who are short of cash justify making such purchases? (那么，现金短缺的消费者究竟如何证明进行此类购买是合理的呢?)”提出了一个关于消费者心理的问题，引出下文对原因的讨论，符合语境。故选D。 【19题详解】 由上文“Thus, people seeking employment may perceive a need to spend money on certain products to improve their physical appearance. (因此，寻找工作的人可能会觉得有必要花钱购买某些产品来改善他们的外表)”可知，本空要说跟“改善他们的外表的好处”有关的话题，故E选项“By using products such as lipstick, they may feel more confident during job interviews. (通过使用口红等产品，他们可能会在求职面试中感到更加自信)”进一步说明了使用口红等产品对求职者的好处，与上文关于求职的内容相呼应，符合语境。故选E。 【20题详解】 由下文“During the global depression of 2007-2009, sales of cosmetics in the United States increased by around 5%. Based on such data, it seems that even in the current insecure economic climate, the luxury cosmetics industry is one that will be sticking around.(在2007-2009年的全球经济大萧条期间，美国化妆品的销售额增长了约5%。根据这些数据，即使在当前不稳定的经济环境下，奢侈品化妆品行业似乎也将继续存在)”可知，本段既回顾了2007-2009年的事情，也提到了现在的经济状况下奢侈品化妆品的情况，故F选项“Whatever the causes of the lipstick effect, this phenomenon is no short-lived trend. (不管造成口红效应的原因是什么，这种现象都不是短暂的趋势)”总结了段落内容，引出下文用数据证明口红效应不是短期趋势，符合语境。故选F。 第三部分 语言运用(共30分) 第一节 完形填空(1分*15题=15分) The art of living is to know when to hold fast and when to let go. Many people ___21___ it this way, “A man comes to this world with his fist clenched (紧握), but when he dies, his hand is ___22___.” Surely we ought to hold fast to life, for it is amazing and full of a beauty that ___23___ your own earth. Sometimes we recognize this ___24___ only in our backward glance when we suddenly realize that it is no more. We remember a beauty that ___25___, a love that disappeared. But we remember with far greater pain that we did not see that beauty when it flowered, and that we ___26___ to respond with love when it was offered. A recent experience re-taught me this truth. I was ___27___ following a severe heart attack and had been in intensive care for several days. It was not a pleasant place. One morning, I had to have some additional tests. The required machines were located in a building at the opposite end of the hospital, so I had to be ___28___ across the courtyard on a gurney, a kind of movable bed in hospital. As we ___29___ from our unit, the sunlight hit me. That’s ____30____. And yet how beautiful it was — how warming, how sparkling, how brilliant! I looked to see whether anyone else enjoyed the sun’s golden glow, but everyone was ____31____ to and fro, most with eyes fixed on the ground. Then I remembered how often we had been ____32____ to the beauty of each day, and too caught up in routine duties. Life’s gifts are ____33____— but we always pay no attention to them. Never too busy for the wonder and the awe of life. Embrace each hour, ____34____ each golden minute. Hold fast to life… but not so fast that you can’t let go.

Each time these things happened, I was sick of the way most people hadn’t bothered to help. One of those times, I was on the side of the road for close to three hours with my big Jeep. I put signs in the windows, big signs that said NEED A JACK (千斤顶), and offered money. Nothing. Right as I was about to give up, a Mexican family in a small truck pulled over, and the father bounded out. He sized up the situation and called for his daughter, who spoke English. He conveyed through her that he had a jack but that it was too small for the Jeep, so we would need something to support it. Then he got a saw (锯子) from the truck and cut a section out of a big log on the side of the road. We rolled it over and put his jack on top, and we were in business. I started taking the wheel off, and then, if you can believe it, I broke his tire iron. No worries: He handed it to his wife, and she was gone in a flash down the road to buy a new tire iron. She was back in 15 minutes. We finished the job, and I was a very happy man. The two of us were dirty and sweaty. His wife prepared a pot of water for us to wash our hands. I tried to put a $20 bill in the man’s hand, but he wouldn’t take it, so instead I went up to the truck and gave it to his wife as quietly as I could. I asked the little girl where they lived. Mexico, she said. They were in Oregon, so Mommy and Daddy could work on a fruit farm for the next few weeks. Then they would go home. When I was about to say goodbye, the girl asked if I’d had lunch. After they left, I got into my Jeep and opened the paper bag. 72. What happened in the story and how it ended? ____________________________________________________________________________ 73.

My car was broken at the roadside. A Mexican family came and helped me repair it and I gave them $20 to convey my gratitude. 73. ①. disappointed ②. happy/ hopeful ③. grateful/moved 74. They are kind and helpful. 75. 第一人称;温馨治愈 76. To show kindness to strangers 77. ①. Feeling worn out from hours of work, I hesitated for a moment and replied I hadn’t. Hearing that, the girl went back to have a word with her parents and returned with a Mexican taco. “Come and eat this!” said the girl wearing a bright smile. As we shared the meal together on the modest truck, I felt a warm current welling up in my heart. After wolfing down the food, I was about to say goodbye again when the girl pressed a paper bag into my hand, whispering to me to open it later. ②. Lying in the bag was a $20 bill, which I had offered in return for their help and a folded note. Unfolding the note, I saw the words left for me “Thanks for letting us help!” Holding the note, I felt a flow of warmth mixed with happiness running through my mind. The words and experience served as the gentle and bright morning sunlight, melting the ice in my heart. Seeing the truck disappear, the distrust in humanity vanished without trace, and with heartfelt gratitude, I’m determined to pass on the kindness./ (Another version) That day, I drove away with more than a repaired tire. And I carried with me a regained trust in kindness of people. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述作者车坏路边求助无果，墨西哥家庭热心帮忙，不仅修车还拒绝报酬，展现人性善良温暖。 【72题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第一段“During this past year, I’ve had three instances of car trouble.

Then he got a saw (锯子) from the truck and cut a section out of a big log on the side of the road. We rolled it over and put his jack on top, and we were in business.(他估量了一下情况，然后叫来了会说英语的女儿。他通过女儿传达说他有一个千斤顶，但对吉普车来说太小了，所以我们需要一些东西来支撑它。然后他从卡车上拿出一把锯子，从路边的一根大圆木上锯下一段。我们把它滚过来，把他的千斤顶放在上面，然后我们就开始干活了。)”、第三段“I started taking the wheel off, and then, if you can believe it, I broke his tire iron. No worries: He handed it to his wife, and she was gone in a flash down the road to buy a new tire iron. She was back in 15 minutes. We finished the job, and I was a very happy man.(我开始卸轮胎，然后，信不信由你，我把他的轮胎扳手弄断了。不用担心：他把它递给了他的妻子，她立刻沿着路去买了一个新的轮胎扳手。她 15 分钟后就回来了。我们完成了工作，我非常高兴。)”以及第四段“I tried to put a $20 bill in the man’s hand, but he wouldn’t take it, so instead I went up to the truck and gave it to his wife as quietly as I could.(我试图把一张20美元的钞票塞到那个男人手里，但他不肯接受，所以我走到卡车那里，尽可能悄悄地把钱给了他的妻子。)”可知，文章主要讲作者的车在路边坏了，大多数人都不帮忙，后来一个墨西哥家庭帮忙修好了车，作者给了他们20美元表达感激。所以答案是My car was broken at the roadside. A Mexican family came and helped me repair it and I gave them $20 to convey my gratitude. 【73题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第一段“During this past year, I’ve had three instances of car trouble. Each time these things happened, I was sick of the way most people hadn’t bothered to help.(在过去的一年里，我的汽车出了三次故障。每次这些事情发生时，我都对大多数人懒得帮忙的方式感到厌烦。)”可知，一开始作者的心情是失望的，所以 “beginning”对应的心情是“disappointed”。再根据原文第一段“Right as I was about to give up, a Mexican family in a small truck pulled over, and the father bounded out.(就在我正要放弃的时候，一个墨西哥家庭开着一辆小卡车停了下来，父亲跳了出来。)”以及后续他们帮忙修车的过程可知，作者看到有人来帮忙，心情变得有希望、开心了，所以“development”对应的心情是“happy/hopeful”。再根据原文第四段“I tried to put a $20 bill in the man’s hand, but he wouldn’t take it, so instead I went up to the truck and gave it to his wife as quietly as I could.(我试图把一张20美元的钞票放在那个男人手里，但他不肯接受，于是我走到卡车前，尽可能安静地把它递给了他的妻子。)”可知，作者对这家人的帮助非常感激，所以“ending”对应的心情是“grateful/moved”。故填disappointed；happy/ hopeful；grateful/moved。 【74题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第一段“Right as I was about to give up, a Mexican family in a small truck pulled over, and the father bounded out.(就在我准备放弃的时候，一个墨西哥家庭开着一辆小卡车停了下来，父亲跳了出来。)”、第二段“He sized up the situation and called for his daughter, who spoke English. He conveyed through her that he had a jack but that it was too small for the Jeep, so we would need something to support it. Then he got a saw (锯子) from the truck and cut a section out of a big log on the side of the road. We rolled it over and put his jack on top, and we were in business.(他估量了一下情况，然后叫来了会说英语的女儿。他通过女儿传达说他有一个千斤顶，但对吉普车来说太小了，所以我们需要一些东西来支撑它。然后他从卡车上拿出一把锯子，从路边的一根大圆木上锯下一段。我们把它滚过来，把他的千斤顶放在上面，然后我们就开始干活了。)”、第三段“I started taking the wheel off, and then, if you can believe it, I broke his tire iron. No worries: He handed it to his wife, and she was gone in a flash down the road to buy a new tire iron. She was back in 15 minutes. We finished the job, and I was a very happy man.(我开始卸轮胎，然后，信不信由你，我把他的轮胎扳手弄断了。不用担心：他把它递给了他的妻子，她立刻沿着路去买了一个新的轮胎扳手。她 15 分钟后就回来了。我们完成了工作，我非常高兴。)”以及第四段“I tried to put a $20 bill in the man’s hand, but he wouldn’t take it,（我试图把一张 20 美元的钞票塞到那个男人手里，但他不肯接受，)”可知，这家人看到作者车坏了主动帮忙，在修车过程中积极想办法，而且不要报酬，所以他们是善良且乐于助人的。故答案是They are kind and helpful. 【75题详解】 推理判断题。文章中一直使用“I” 来叙述故事，所以叙事角度是第一人称。文章讲述了作者车坏了，在大多数人不帮忙的情况下，一个墨西哥家庭热心帮忙的故事，给人一种温暖、治愈的感觉，所以写作风格是温馨治愈。故答案是：第一人称；温馨治愈。 【76题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了作者车坏在路边，一个墨西哥家庭热心帮忙且不要报酬的故事，通过这个故事展现了这家人对陌生人的善良，所以主题是“to show kindness to strangers”。故答案是To show kindness to strangers。 【77题详解】 开放性试题，言之有理即可。由第五段“When I was about to say goodbye, the girl asked if I’d had lunch. (当我正要说再见时，女孩问我是否吃过午饭。)”可以预测续写这段主要内容：作者因工作数小时疲惫不堪，告知女孩没吃午饭，女孩与父母沟通后拿来墨西哥玉米卷，一起用餐时作者心中涌起暖流，饭后女孩又塞给作者一个纸袋让稍后打开。所以参考答案可以为：Feeling worn out from hours of work, I hesitated for a moment and replied I hadn’t. Hearing that, the girl went back to have a word with her parents and returned with a Mexican taco. “Come and eat this!” said the girl wearing a bright smile. As we shared the meal together on the modest truck, I felt a warm current welling up in my heart. After wolfing down the food, I was about to say goodbye again when the girl pressed a paper bag into my hand, whispering to me to open it later. 由第六段“After they left, I got into my Jeep and opened the paper bag.(他们离开后，我上了吉普车，打开了纸袋。)”可以预测续写这段主要内容：作者打开纸袋，发现之前给的20美元和写着感谢话语的纸条，这让他心中满是温暖幸福，重拾对人性的信任，还决心传递善意。 或：那天作者不仅修好了车，还因墨西哥家庭的举动，重新找回了对人性善良的信任。所以参考答案可以为：Lying in the bag was a $20 bill, which I had offered in return for their help and a folded note. Unfolding the note, I saw the words left for me “Thanks for letting us help!” Holding the note, I felt a flow of warmth mixed with happiness running through my mind. The words and experience served as the gentle and bright morning sunlight, melting the ice in my heart. Seeing the truck disappear, the distrust in humanity vanished without trace, and with heartfelt gratitude, I’m determined to pass on the kindness./ (Another version) That day, I drove away with more than a repaired tire. And I carried with me a regained trust in kindness of people. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2023级高二下学期英语测试(一) 本试卷共12页，94小题，满分150分。考试用时120分钟。 第一部分 听力(共15分) 听下面5段材料，每段材料后有几个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，每段对话或独白读两遍。 听第一段对话，回答第1-3题。 1.

I love reading books & magazines, and I’m learning so many useful tips about healthy living, daily life, etc. Women’s Health Women’s Health has a unique content. You can find various interesting information about healthy living or exercises you can do at home. I also love their writers because they explain every topic so simple that you can even understand biological articles. Healthy Food Guide I totally recommend it to everyone because it has lots of useful information about being healthy during your daily life. In this magazine, you can find articles about foods you often eat but don’t have much idea what it contains or if they’re healthy. If you are searching for new diets, this magazine gives you all the information. Time Out Time Out is a well-known magazine and it’s free in my city. Every time I see a Time Out magazine, I get it because it has lots of useful tips. I got Time Out London when I was in London, and I discovered new restaurants, galleries, museums, and events. This magazine has various information about the city life. For example, it gives you the events that are happening near you. It gives you tips for the railway stations and other transportation choices. La Cucina Italiana If you love cooking Italian food, this magazine is for you! It has lots of recipes and also restaurant reviews. You can also find popular restaurants near you in this magazine. I’ve also read articles by famous chefs from my city. 1. What can we find in Healthy Food Guide? A. Ways to keep fit. B. Tips on cooking. C. Different eating habits. D. Information of new restaurants. 2. What can we read to find comments on restaurants? A. Time Out. B. Women’s Health. C. Healthy Food Guide. D. La Cucina Italiana. 3. What can we learn about the author? A. He lives in London. B. He loves and enjoys life. C. He often goes travelling. D. He likes collecting recipes. B Fifteen years ago, I took a summer vacation in Lecce in southern Italy. After climbing up a hill for a panoramic (全景的) view of the blue sea, white buildings and green olive trees, I paused to catch my breath and then positioned myself to take the best photo of this panorama. Unfortunately, just as I took out my camera, a woman approached from behind, and planted herself right in front of my view. Like me, this woman was here to stop, sigh and appreciate the view. Patient as I was, after about 15 minutes, my camera scanning the sun and reviewing the shot I would eventually take, I asked myself: “Was it too much to ask her to move so I could take just one picture of the landscape?” Sure, I could have asked her, but something prevented me from doing so. Finally, seeing she seemed so content in her observation, I made up my mind not to mess with that. Another 15 minutes passed and I grew bored. The woman was still there. I decided to take the photo anyway. And now when I look at it, I think her presence in the photo is what makes the image interesting. The landscape, beautiful on its own, somehow comes to life and breathes because this woman is engaging with it. This photo, with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that woman who “ruined” it, now hangs on a wall in my bedroom. What would she think if she knew that her figure is captured and frozen on some stranger's bedroom wall? A bedroom, after all, is a very private space, in which some woman I don't even know has been immortalized (永存). In some ways, she lives in my house. Perhaps we all live in each other's spaces. Perhaps this is what photos are for: to remind us that we all appreciate beauty, and that we all share a common desire for pleasure, for connection, and for something that is greater than us. That photo is a reminder, a captured moment, an unspoken conversation between two women, separated only by a thin square of glass. 4. How did the author feel when a stranger blocked her view after the first 15 minutes? A. Sorrowful. B. Astonished. C. Angry. D. Hesitant. 5. According to the article, what might be the stranger doing at the top of the hill? A. Reflecting on her past. B. Taking photos. C. Enjoying herself. D. Losing her patience. 6. Why was the photo special to the author? A. Because a stranger brought life to the photo. B. Because the photo was hung in her bedroom. C. Because a picturesque landscape was captured in the photo. D. Because the photo in her house reminded her of the woman. 7. What is the best title for this article? A. An Unspoken Encounter B. A Great Trip in Italy C. The Power of Photography D. An Unknown Stranger C Our preference for this or that kind of music is obviously a subjective matter. It can also be highly unstable, changing not only during a lifetime, but even on a scale of months, or even days. Yet despite such variety, there are three factors that I think are the main contributors. The first is how we were brought up, or the musical background which surrounded us in our formative years (性格形成时期). The kinds of music that we were exposed to when we were small helped to create very specific mental patterns. However, even the most stable musical pattern can be changed by socio-cultural concerns, and these form the second contribution to our musical preferences. Music, probably from the very beginning of the existence of modern humans, has been used to bring people together in various kinds of activities, because it is really efficient at regulating (调节) the bodily and emotional responses of large groups of participants. Whether you’re into heavy metal, or hip hop, or jazz, your preferences are guided in part by your desire to be a member of some social circle. These two factors seem to suggest that musical preferences are formed unconsciously, without the listener being aware of it, but this is obviously not the case. Nothing is likely to be more important than our own subjective feeling at the time of listening. Especially today, with nearly unlimited access to all styles of music, we use music as a tool for regulating our emotions and moods. This is why when you want to study you might reach for something simple, without words. Or when you’re trying to relax before bed you’ll probably listen to something calming. They point to the fantastic power of music in our lives. 8. In writing paragraph 1, the author aims to ________. A. present some examples B. make a comparison C. list a few reasons D. lead in the topic 9. According to paragraph 1, people’s preferences for music are ________. A. interesting and subjective B. personal and changeable C. unique and obvious D. unconscious and typical 10. What is the function of music in a group activity? A. It can make people familiar with a certain culture. B. It can make people calm down. C. It can bring people together. D. It can create specific mental patterns. 11. What could be inferred from paragraph 4? A. While reading, people are more likely to prefer rap music. B. Preferences for music are totally decided by uncontrolled factors. C. Subjective feeling plays an important role in people’s musical preferences. D. Musical preferences are formed unconsciously. D The ability to detect a nearby presence without seeing or touching it may sound fantastical — but it’s a real ability that some creatures have. A family of African fish known as Momyrids are weakly electric, and have special organs that can locate a nearby target, even when it’s hiding in the mud. Scientists have now developed an artificial sensor system modelled on the ability of these fish. “We developed a new strategy for 3D motion positioning by electronic skin, bio-inspired by ‘electric fish,’” says Dr. Xinge Yu, an associate professor in the Department of Biomedical Eagineering at the City University of Hong Kong. The team described their e-skin sensor in a paper published on November 14 in Nature. The artificial sensor is multi-layered. One layer acts as a transmitter (发射器), which will generate an electric field once activated, and another layer acts as a receiver to detect both the direction and the distance to an object. A separate controller creates the driving signal to activate the transmitter. When an object comes within range, the electric field around the sensor is disrupted, which in turn can be detected by the receiver. This data is then processed by a microcontroller unit, which computes the position of the target object and sends that information to a smartphone or other devices. A special biogel (生物凝胶) is used in the sensor, which has the ability to transmit and receive electric signals from a pattern of microchannels on the surface. The end result is a sensor that is thin, soft and flexible, making it easy to adapt to irregular surfaces, such as the human body. In contrast to the traditional sensor system that needs a large number of sensors to achieve spatial positioning, the new system can locate an object precisely in 3D space using just a few sensors. This significantly reduces the power consumption of data collection, transmission, and processing. The researchers hope that this sensor could one day open up a new range of wearable technologies, including sensors for human-machine interaction and thin, flexible e-skin. 12. The first paragraph aims to show _________. A. the special ability of African fish B. the inspiration for a new invention C. the big challenge of locating objects D. the reason for developing a sensor 13. What does the underlined word “disrupted” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. disturb. B. arrange. C. enhance. D. stabilize. 14. What is an advantage of the new sensor system? A. Its sensitivity to different stimulations. B. Its adaptation to environmental changes. C. Its efficiency in achieving 3D positioning. D. Its speed in data collection and processing. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Machine Detective “Wears” Flexible E-skin B. Bio-inspired Sensor “Feels” Without Touching C. E-Skin Sensor: The Future of Machine Learning D. Electric Fields: The Frontier of Object Detection 第二节 阅读填空(2.5分*5题=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。 The Lipstick Effect In 2020, the world fell into an economic downturn as the COVID-19 pandemic caused widespread closures to businesses. ___16___ During such times of economic hardship, one may naturally expect that consumer markets will see a decline in expenditure (支出), as people everywhere feel restricted to making only “essential” purchases. However, a curious phenomenon known as the “lipstick effect” can often be observed. The lipstick effect refers to the phenomenon of consumers spending on small luxury goods even when an economic depression occurs. ___17___ However, many still find the cash for purchases of small luxury items, such as lipstick. This phenomenon was termed the “lipstick effect” in 2001 by Leonard Lauder, chairman of luxury cosmetic company Estée Lauder. He had not only witnessed the phenomenon at work but also realized that it was especially evident in the case of lipstick and other cosmetic products. ___18___ First and perhaps most obviously, consumers may simply wish to give themselves treats now and again to provide distractions from their financial insecurity. Another theory has to do with labour markets. Specifically, during the economic depression, job seeking tends to become more competitive. Thus, people seeking employment may perceive a need to spend money on certain products to improve their physical appearance. ___19___ ___20___ During the global depression of 2007-2009, sales of cosmetics in the United States increased by around 5%. Based on such data, it seems that even in the current insecure economic climate, the luxury cosmetics industry is one that will be sticking around. A. What does lipstick tell us about the economy? B. They do not have enough to spend on big-ticket luxury items. C. The lipstick effect is a behavior that reflects economic conditions and emotional states. D. So, how exactly do consumers who are short of cash justify making such purchases? E. By using products such as lipstick, they may feel more confident during job interviews. F. Whatever the causes of the lipstick effect, this phenomenon is no short-lived trend. G. Under these circumstances, millions of people suddenly found themselves facing financial insecurity. 第三部分 语言运用(共30分) 第一节 完形填空(1分*15题=15分) The art of living is to know when to hold fast and when to let go.

Sometimes we recognize this ___24___ only in our backward glance when we suddenly realize that it is no more. We remember a beauty that ___25___, a love that disappeared. But we remember with far greater pain that we did not see that beauty when it flowered, and that we ___26___ to respond with love when it was offered. A recent experience re-taught me this truth. I was ___27___ following a severe heart attack and had been in intensive care for several days. It was not a pleasant place. One morning, I had to have some additional tests. The required machines were located in a building at the opposite end of the hospital, so I had to be ___28___ across the courtyard on a gurney, a kind of movable bed in hospital. As we ___29___ from our unit, the sunlight hit me. That’s ____30____. And yet how beautiful it was — how warming, how sparkling, how brilliant! I looked to see whether anyone else enjoyed the sun’s golden glow, but everyone was ____31____ to and fro, most with eyes fixed on the ground. Then I remembered how often we had been ____32____ to the beauty of each day, and too caught up in routine duties. Life’s gifts are ____33____— but we always pay no attention to them. Never too busy for the wonder and the awe of life. Embrace each hour, ____34____ each golden minute. Hold fast to life… but not so fast that you can’t let go. We must ____35____ our losses, and learn how to let go. 21. A. take B. put C. make D. get 22. A. closed B. tight C. open D. smooth 23. A. comes out B. breaks through C. gets over D. lays aside 24.

Each time these things happened, I was sick of the way most people hadn’t bothered to help. One of those times, I was on the side of the road for close to three hours with my big Jeep. I put signs in the windows, big signs that said NEED A JACK (千斤顶), and offered money. Nothing. Right as I was about to give up, a Mexican family in a small truck pulled over, and the father bounded out. He sized up the situation and called for his daughter, who spoke English. He conveyed through her that he had a jack but that it was too small for the Jeep, so we would need something to support it. Then he got a saw (锯子) from the truck and cut a section out of a big log on the side of the road. We rolled it over and put his jack on top, and we were in business. I started taking the wheel off, and then, if you can believe it, I broke his tire iron. No worries: He handed it to his wife, and she was gone in a flash down the road to buy a new tire iron. She was back in 15 minutes. We finished the job, and I was a very happy man. The two of us were dirty and sweaty. His wife prepared a pot of water for us to wash our hands. I tried to put a $20 bill in the man’s hand, but he wouldn’t take it, so instead I went up to the truck and gave it to his wife as quietly as I could. I asked the little girl where they lived. Mexico, she said. They were in Oregon, so Mommy and Daddy could work on a fruit farm for the next few weeks. Then they would go home. When I was about to say goodbye, the girl asked if I’d had lunch. After they left, I got into my Jeep and opened the paper bag. 72. What happened in the story and how it ended? ____________________________________________________________________________ 73.
