These are the galleries you need to add to your must-visit list. Royal Academy of Arts (RA), London Not your standard gallery, the Royal Academy of Arts is led by artists to promote not just the appreciation of art, but its practice. It is world-famous for hosting some exhibitions that get everyone talking. Besides, what sets the RA apart is its engagement with the public through participatory experiences, allowing visitors to not only view art but become part of it in innovative ways. Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts Norwich Sitting on the edge of the University of East Anglia’s campus, the Sainsbury Centre holds a collection of remarkable works of art spanning over 2,000 years. Inside the seminal Norman Foster building, you’ll find artworks from around the world, including some stunning pieces of European modern art by Degas, Francis Bacon, and Alberto Giacometti. Yorkshire Sculpture Park, West Yorkshire Tearing up the rulebook when it comes to how we traditionally view art, the Yorkshire Sculpture Park strives to break down barriers by showing works from British and international artists in the open air. Set in hundreds of acres of West Yorkshire parkland, you’ll see sculptures by some of the leading artists of the 20th century. Whitworth, Manchester After a sky-high £15 million development the Whitworth is becoming one of the premier galleries in the north of England. Making full use of its picturesque park setting, the gallery has a beautiful art garden and a sculpture terrace (露台), all waiting to be explored. Inside the gallery, you can view an exciting programme of ever-changing exhibitions. 1. What is special about the Royal Academy of Arts? A. It offers interactive experiences. B. It displays works by senior artists. C. It occupies a vast space in the museum. D. It stages exhibitions in a traditional way. 2. What do Yorkshire Sculpture Park and Whitworth have in common? A. They are small in scale. B. They offer outdoor settings. C. They feature long-standing works. D. They host exhibitions on an annual basis. 3. Where is the text probably taken from? A. An art textbook. B. An art student’s paper. C. A personal travel blog. D. A travel guidebook. 【答案】1. A 2. B 3. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四个游客必看的英国艺术画廊。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Royal Academy of Arts (RA), London部分中“It is world-famous for hosting some exhibitions that get everyone talking. Besides, what sets the RA apart is its engagement with the public through participatory experiences, allowing visitors to not only view art but become part of it in innovative ways.(它以举办一些让每个人都在谈论的展览而闻名于世。此外，RA的独特之处在于它通过参与式体验与公众互动，让参观者不仅可以观看艺术，还可以以创新的方式成为艺术的一部分)”可知，皇家艺术学院的特别之处在于它提供的是一种互动体验。故选A项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Yorkshire Sculpture Park, West Yorkshire部分中“Tearing up the rulebook when it comes to how we traditionally view art, the Yorkshire Sculpture Park strives to break down barriers by showing works from British and international artists in the open air.(当谈到我们传统上如何看待艺术时，约克郡雕塑公园打破了规则，通过在露天展示英国和国际艺术家的作品，努力打破障碍)”和Whitworth, Manchester部分中“Making full use of its picturesque park setting, the gallery has a beautiful art garden and a sculpture terrace (露台), all waiting to be explored.(画廊充分利用其风景如画的公园环境，拥有一个美丽的艺术花园和一个雕塑露台, 所有这些都有待探索)”可知，约克郡雕塑公园和惠特沃斯画廊的共同之处在于它们都提供户外环境。故选B项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，并根据第一段“With such a strong artistic heritage, it’s no surprise that England knocks it out of the park when it comes to world-class art galleries. These are the galleries you need to add to your must-visit list.(拥有如此强大的艺术遗产，英国在世界一流的艺术画廊中脱颖而出也就不足为奇了。这些是你需要添加到你的必游列表的画廊)”可知，这段文本很可能摘自一本旅行指南。故选D项。 B Because my stories keep my heart pounding at night with the possibility of it all, when I can’t get words on paper, I want to scream. All my energy pools at the bottom of my heart, where it continues to yell at me all day long, “Write! Write! Write!” I have to quiet the voice like a hidden pet, shushing (发嘘声) it over and over until I get the chance to leave, laptop in hand, stories pouring out of my mind. What poor, unfortunate lives we artists live! We’re tortured by our words, whether they’re circling around in our minds at 3 a.m. or written on paper, looking sad and regretful that we’ve put them there. Our words laugh at us before and after they leave our bodies. I messaged a writing mentor (导师) when I found myself running in circles. With only a small window of time to myself each afternoon, I found it hard to write. If only I had more time, I could finish my book. If only people would leave me alone. I could become an accomplished writer. It was everyone else’s fault. Small -- my mentor told me to start small but keep going. “Do what you can, when you can. Let that be enough during the busy seasons.” In her eyes, she was once me. She was once crazy with tasks that kept her hands pushing, pulling, grabbing and moving endlessly. She recognized herself in the way I talked with starry eyes about my dreamy writing goals and plans. Essays, articles and short stories flowered in my rich mind. In a few wise words, she gave me the freedom to write in small periods of time she called “the cracks of the day”. She argued that I should run after publishing with the same desire as ever. But in her patient voice, I heard a gentle reminder of stopping running so hard and instead slowing to a sustainable pace. So I write. I submit. I live, and I dream. 4. What can we infer about the author from the first paragraph? A. She is forced to write constantly. B. She has a strong desire to write. C. She has serious heart problems. D. She is unable to focus on reading. 5. What does the underlined word “tortured” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Examined. B. Inspired. C. Troubled. D. Impressed. 6. What problem did the author have in writing? A. Almost no one likes her writing. B. She couldn’t make a living by writing stories. C. She has no one to rely on. D. She suffered from a serious lack of time. 7. Which of the following can sum up the writing mentor’s suggestion to the author? A. Constant drops wear away a stone. B. All roads lead to Rome. C. Strike while the iron is hot. D. No pains, no gains. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。描述了作者在创作时遇到的问题，之后经过导师的开导，放弃了挣扎与焦虑，最终寻到了写作的平静之路。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段前两句“Because my stories keep my heart pounding at night with the possibility of it all, when I can’t get words on paper, I want to scream. All my energy pools at the bottom of my heart, where it continues to yell at me all day long, “Write! Write! Write!””（因为我的故事让我的心在晚上怦怦直跳，因为这一切都有可能发生，当我无法在纸上写下文字时，我想尖叫。我所有的精力都集中在心底，它整天不停地对我大喊:“写!写!写!”）可知，作者内心有强烈的写作欲望，这种想法不断地催促着他进行创造。故选B项。 【5题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第二段第一句“What poor, unfortunate lives we artists live!”（我们这些艺术家过着多么可怜、多么不幸的生活啊!）及第二句“whether they’re circling around in our minds at 3 a.m. or written on paper”（不管它们是凌晨三点在我们的脑海里盘旋，还是写在纸上）可知，作者认为作家的生活很不幸，因为自己的作品无论是在脑海里盘旋，还是写在纸上之后，总是不满意，总是想写的更好，所以作家一直被自己的语言和作品折磨。故推测tortured表示“使痛苦，折磨”。故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段第五六句“With only a small window of time to myself each afternoon, I found it hard to write. If only I had more time, I could finish my book.”（每天下午只有一小段属于自己的时间，我发现很难写作。要是我有更多的时间，我就能完成我的书了。）可知，作者拥有创作热情，但缺乏时间。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段前两句“Small -- my mentor told me to start small but keep going. “Do what you can, when you can. Let that be enough during the busy seasons.””（从小做起——我的导师告诉我从小做起，但要坚持下去。“能做什么，就做什么。”在繁忙的季节，这就足够了。”）可知，导师建议从小事做起，持之以恒就行。A项表示“滴水穿石”，暗示了坚持的重要性，符合题意。B项表示“条条大路通罗马”；C项表示“趁热打铁”；D项表示“不劳则无获”均无法表示从小事做起，持之以恒的含义。故选A项。 C According to a well-known team of researchers, there are three kinds of smiles: genuine, false, and miserable. How can we distinguish them? In experiments where subjects are shown photos of fake and spontaneous smiles, people are pretty good at telling the difference. But in the real world, most people are less able to distinguish between them. They are distracted by other elements of communication such as speech, hand gestures, and other body movements. However, if they were to focus only on the face, they would probably know whether a smile was genuine or not. This is because two muscles are involved in spontaneous smiling. The first muscle is a ring-like band of muscle around each eye. When it contracts, it causes what we know as “smiling eyes”. The other muscle extends from the top of the cheekbone to the corners of the mouth. It moves the mouth upwards when we smile. This muscle on its own produces what we call the “mouth smile. ”When people genuinely smile, in a spontaneous burst of positive emotions, the corners of the mouth move up and the muscles around the eyes also contract. It is these muscles that show that a smile is sincere. Smiles can mean very different things in different countries. In the USA, for example, a smile is a friendly, positive gesture of trust. In contrast, in some Asian societies, people smile when they are happy, of course, but also when they feel anger, sadness, confusion, or embarrassment, perhaps to mask their true feelings. Cultural norms aside, some people tend to smile more than others and that seems to indicate they are cheerful, optimistic types. But that relationship isn’t strictly true. Some people rarely smile and are quite happy. Others often have a smile on their face when they are actually feeling anxious. Human communication is full of uncertainties and we sometimes have a difficult time understanding each other, but a genuine, heartfelt smile that lights up a face can never be misunderstood. 8. What did the experiments show? A. Most people tend to force a smile when taking pictures. B. People wearing a fake smile can be genuine sometimes. C. People using body language are often smiling genuinely. D. Most people fail to detect fake smiles in reality due to distractions. 9. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. How to control facial muscles. B. How smiles influence emotions. C. How to distinguish different smiles. D. How spontaneous smiling happens. 10. Why are the USA and some Asian societies mentioned in the text? A. To show the problems brought by smiling. B. To show some cultural differences of smiling. C. To explain how people hide their true feelings. D. To explain why smiling more can have positive effects. 11. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Smiling has little to do with character. B. Smiling can clear up misunderstandings. C. People rarely smiling are hard to get on with. D. Uncertain smiles cannot lead to close relationships. 【答案】8. D 9. D 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了由于分心，大多数人在现实中无法察觉虚假的微笑。解释了微笑是如何自然而然发生的以及微笑在不同的国家有不同的含义。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“In experiments where subjects are shown photos of fake and spontaneous smiles, people are pretty good at telling the difference. But in the real world, most people are less able to distinguish between them. They are distracted by other elements of communication such as speech, hand gestures, and other body movements. (在实验中，实验对象可以看到假笑和自然笑的照片，人们很善于分辨其中的区别。但在现实世界中，大多数人都无法区分它们。他们会被其他交流元素分散注意力，比如讲话、手势和其他身体动作)”可知，实验说明了由于分心，大多数人在现实中无法察觉虚假的微笑。故选D。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“This is because two muscles are involved in spontaneous smiling. The first muscle is a ring-like band of muscle around each eye. When it contracts, it causes what we know as “smiling eyes”. The other muscle extends from the top of the cheekbone to the corners of the mouth. It moves the mouth upwards when we smile. This muscle on its own produces what we call the “mouth smile. ”When people genuinely smile, in a spontaneous burst of positive emotions, the corners of the mouth move up and the muscles around the eyes also contract. It is these muscles that show that a smile is sincere.(这是因为自发的微笑涉及两块肌肉。第一块肌肉是每只眼睛周围的环状肌肉带。当它收缩时，就会产生我们所知的“笑眼”。另一块肌肉从颧骨顶部延伸到嘴角。当我们微笑时，它会让嘴巴向上移动。这块肌肉本身就产生了我们所说的“嘴笑”。当人们真诚地微笑时，在一种自发的积极情绪中，嘴角会上扬，眼睛周围的肌肉也会收缩。正是这些肌肉表明微笑是真诚的)”可知，第二段主要讲了自然微笑是如何产生的。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Smiles can mean very different things in different countries. In the USA, for example, a smile is a friendly, positive gesture of trust. In contrast, in some Asian societies, people smile when they are happy, of course, but also when they feel anger, sadness, confusion, or embarrassment, perhaps to mask their true feelings.(微笑在不同的国家有不同的含义。例如，在美国，微笑是一种友好、积极的信任姿态。相比之下，在一些亚洲社会，人们当然会在高兴时微笑，但在感到愤怒、悲伤、困惑或尴尬时也会微笑，也许是为了掩盖他们的真实感受)”可推知，文中提到美国和一些亚洲社会是为了展示与微笑相关的文化差异。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Cultural norms aside, some people tend to smile more than others and that seems to indicate they are cheerful, optimistic types. But that relationship isn’t strictly true. Some people rarely smile and are quite happy. Others often have a smile on their face when they are actually feeling anxious. Human communication is full of uncertainties and we sometimes have a difficult time understanding each other, but a genuine, heartfelt smile that lights up a face can never be misunderstood.(抛开文化规范不谈，有些人比其他人更爱笑，这似乎表明他们是开朗、乐观的类型。但这种关系并不完全正确。有些人很少微笑，却很快乐。另一些人通常在他们感到焦虑的时候脸上挂着微笑。人类的交流充满了不确定性，有时我们很难理解彼此，但一个真正的、发自内心的微笑永远不会被误解)”可推知，微笑与性格没什么关系。故选A。 D The next time you find yourself in nature, away from the crowded urban environment, take a deep breath of the fresh and clean air. That refreshing breath is made possible by the trees around you. Today, our cars and machines fill the air with carbon emissions. But scientists imagine a future, where vehicles will clean the air as efficiently as trees do. Euro News reports that the electric car, designed by Dutch students at the Eindhoven University of Technology, is capable of removing a small amount of carbon from the air. The car’s sporty frame is nearly entirely composed of recycled plastics run through a 3D-printer and the engine is powered by an electric lithium-ion (锂离子) battery. By using 3D printing, the team could produce parts in the exact shape needed, with very little waste. Since nearly 2 billion tires end up in the trash yearly, the students also teamed up with Black Bear Carbon to source recycled black carbon for the tires. Moreover, solar panels fitted to the car’s roof allow it to act as an external solar power source for a house. According to Reuters, electric vehicles produce near-zero CO2 emissions as they drive. The drawback of these batteries, however, is that the process needed to create the battery cells for electric cars is still highly polluting. To offset the harmful effect of creating the lithium-ion batteries, the team fitted the car with two filters (过滤器), which can capture (捕获) two kilograms of CO2 every 18,000 miles or so. That might not sound like a lot, but the team is confident they can make sure the two filters will capture more CO2. The team is now on tour in the US to promote their model, which they call ZEM for Zero-Emission Mobility, and to share their vision for the future. They picture electric car charging stations also fitted with the capacity to empty CO2. “Our end goal is to create a more sustainable future,” said Jens Lahaijie, a member of the team that produced the car. 12. What can we know about the electric car? A. It is a completely 3D printed product. B. Its design is environmentally-friendly. C. It is still dependent on traditional fuels. D. Its task is to protect trees in urban areas. 13. What will the Dutch students do with their electric car? A. Equip it with more filters and solar panels. B. Increase its driving speed in a short time. C. Reduce its dependence on lithium-ion batteries. D. Improve its filters’ capability of capturing CO2. 14. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. The electric car hasn’t come to market in the US. B. Electric car charging stations are common. C. The future of electric cars turns out uncertain. D. The electric car model has won great favor. 15. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Carbon Capture Technology Is Used B. Eco-friendly Cars Are in Great Need C. An Electric Car Helps to Clean the Air D. A Sustainable Future Is Shared Together 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了荷兰学生发明的一款新型电动汽车，该电动汽车有助于清除碳排放。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The car’s sporty frame is nearly entirely composed of recycled plastics run through a 3D-printer and the engine is powered by an electric lithium-ion (锂离子) battery.”（该车的运动型车架几乎完全由回收塑料组成，通过3D打印机打印，发动机由电动锂离子电池供电。）及第四段“To offset the harmful effect of creating the lithium-ion batteries, the team fitted the car with two filters (过滤器), which can capture (捕获)two kilograms of CO2 every 18,000 miles or so.”（为了抵消制造锂离子电池的有害影响，研究小组在汽车上安装了两个过滤器，每18000英里左右可以捕获2公斤的二氧化碳。）可推断，这个新型电动汽车的设计很环保。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“...the team fitted the car with two filters (过滤器), which can capture (捕获) two kilograms of CO2 every 18,000 miles or so. That might not sound like a lot, but the team is confident they can make sure the two filters will capture more CO2.”（研究小组在汽车上安装了两个过滤器，每18000英里左右可以捕获2公斤的二氧化碳。这听起来可能不多，但研究小组相信他们可以确保这两个过滤器捕获更多的二氧化碳。）可知，这些学生将会提高过滤器捕捉碳的能力。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The team is now on tour in the US to promote their model, which they call ZEM for Zero-Emission Mobility, and to share their vision for the future. They picture electric car charging stations also fitted with the capacity to empty CO2.”（该团队目前正在美国巡回宣传他们的模型，他们称之为ZEM，即零排放交通，并分享他们对未来的愿景。他们设想，电动汽车充电站也具备排空二氧化碳的能力。）可推断，这款款新型电动汽车还处于概念化阶段，还未在美国上市。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。 第二段第二句提到“Euro News reports that the electric car, designed by Dutch students at the Eindhoven University of Technology, is capable of removing a small amount of carbon from the air.”（据《欧洲新闻》报道，这款电动汽车是由埃因霍温理工大学的荷兰学生设计的，能够从空气中去除少量碳。），且第三段介绍了该汽车的生产和设计过程，第四段则介绍了该汽车环保方面的设计。由此判断本文主要介绍了一款新型电动汽车，该电动汽车有助于清除碳排放。C项“An Electric Car Helps to Clean the Air”（有助于清洁空气的电动汽车）符合文意，故选C。 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。 Being approachable brings you many advantages.

However, you often struggle to make friends and network when you are perceived as not being friendly. So how do you make yourself approachable? (平易近人会给你带来很多好处。然而，当你被认为不友好时，你往往很难交朋友和建立关系网。那么，如何让自己变得平易近人呢？)”可知，接下来的内容将介绍如何使自己变得平易近人的方法。C选项“Here are a few ways to help you enhance this aspect (以下是一些帮助你提升这一方面的方法)”承接上文，引领下文，交代文章主旨，符合题意；选项中的“this aspect”指代上文中的“make yourself approachable”。故选C。 【17题详解】 由小标题“Avoid isolating yourself (避免孤立自己)”和上文“The first step is to consider whether you open yourself to contact with others. Looking angry and crossing your arms can suggest to others that you are not to be approached. (第一步是考虑自己是否愿意与他人接触。看起来很生气或者交叉双臂会让别人觉得你不应该被接近。)”可知，前文提到避免孤立自己，以及封闭的肢体语言会让人难以接近。本空要说跟“恰当的肢体语言”有关的话题，G选项“So you can try to appear more approachable by focusing on your body language (因此，你可以通过关注自己的肢体语言来让自己看起来更平易近人)”能承接上文，提出了具体的改善建议，即通过调整肢体语言显得更加可接近，符合题意。故选G。 【18题详解】 由上文“The basic skill to master to be someone’s go-to person is to listen first.

Sometimes, we might make a judgment. It has certainly happened to you before. Usually, it hurts, even if it could be true. It makes others less likely to come back and talk to you again. Instead, offer listening and reserve your judgments. (这取决于你选择如何回应他们以及你说了什么。有时候，我们可能会做出判断。你以前肯定遇到过这种事。通常，它很伤人，即使它可能是真的。这会让别人不太可能再回来和你说话。相反，倾听并保留你的判断。)”可知，空后内容讲述对他人的评价可能带来的负面影响及如何更恰当地回应，本空要说跟“回应的方式”有关的话题，F选项“The way you respond also encourages others to come to you again (你回应的方式也会鼓励别人再次来找你)”作为过渡句，指出回应方式对人际交往的影响，与后文紧密相连，符合语境。故选F。 【20题详解】 设空处为小标题；由下文“If you want to be seen as more approachable, you can also invite people to come to you. Do it only if you mean it and be sincere in offering your support. Open some time in your schedule to welcome people or, if you can’t, schedule a follow-up meeting. (如果你想让别人觉得你更平易近人，你也可以邀请别人来找你。只有当你是真心的时候才去做，并真诚地提供你的支持。在你的日程安排中留出一些时间来欢迎人们，如果你不能，安排一个后续会议。)”可知，该段主要讲述主动邀请他人这一策略，本空要说跟“邀请他人”有关的话题，A选项“Invite people to come to you (邀请人们来找你)”作为小标题，简洁明了地概括了段落主旨。故选A。 第三部分 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 四个选项中选出最佳选项。 The most affectionate memory of my childhood is about a round table.

He had been suspended (使停学) many times in previous years because of his anger issues. When he entered my class, I thought the worst. Tyler sat in the back row. Every time I talked to the class, I would ask students questions, calling them by name. Unfortunately, every time I called on Tyler, he would respond with a joke. If he got an answer wrong, he would become angry. About a month into the year, I was still trying to connect with Tyler. I can usually get students involved in class discussions or at least have them sit quietly and attentively (专心地). By contrast, Tyler was often loud and sometimes rude. He had been in so much trouble over the years. He expected his teachers to know about his past; about how many times he had been sent to the office or suspended from school. I had found that these sorts of referrals (移交) were not very effective and that students would return from the office behaving worse than before. One day, Tyler was talking over me while I was teaching. I stopped my lesson and said, “Tyler, why don’t you join in our discussion instead of having one of your own?” With that, he got up from his chair, pushed it over and yelled something. I can’t remember what he said other than that he included some impolite words. I sent Tyler straight to the office, and he received a week’s suspension. To this point, this was one of my worst teaching experiences. Tyler’s anger was almost too much for me. The week Tyler was suspended from school was a wonderful time, and we got a lot accomplished as a class. However, the suspension week would soon come to an end, and I was fearful of his return. 续写要求： 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。 On the day of Tyler’s return, I stood at the door awaiting him. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A spark of surprise flashed across his face. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 On the day of Tyler’s return, I stood at the door awaiting him. At last he came, walking with his hands in his pockets. That image immediately brought back memories of the boy throwing a tantrum in class the other day. Yet I managed to restrain my anger this time. These past few days, I had been building a wall between us with blame and punishment, so I thought to myself that maybe I should try another way. “I want to apologize for the quarrel that we had in the middle of class, and I’m really sorry if it hurt your feelings,” I said, finally breaking the ice. A spark of surprise flashed across his face. The naughty boy froze there, staring at me with wide eyes. It was clear that he had never heard an apology from a teacher before. “It is I who should say sorry,” he murmured, his face burning with shame, “I should have learned to control myself.” With a smile, I stepped forward and patted him on his shoulder, signaling to him to go back to his seat. In the days that followed, Tyler didn’t misbehave in class anymore and took an active part in class discussions. I had never expected “understanding” could make such a huge difference — it turned one of my worst teaching experiences into perhaps the best one. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者的学生泰勒很难控制自己的情绪，很容易生气。在课堂上其他同学讨论问题时他总是吵闹，这让作者很无奈。一天泰勒和作者说话时说了一些粗鲁的话，所以他被送到办公室，并被停课一周。作者很担心泰勒回到学校后会有什么表现。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“泰勒回来的那天，我站在门口等他。”可知，第一段可描写泰勒回来后，作者对过去的做法进行了反思并主动给泰勒道歉。 ②由第二段首句内容“他脸上闪过一丝惊讶的光芒。”可知，第二段可描写作者的做法打动了泰勒，泰勒也做出道歉并改过自新。 2.续写线索：忍住怒火——深刻反思——主动道歉——感到惊讶——认识错误——改过自新 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①等待：await/wait for ②控制：restrain/control/hold back ③低语：murmur/whisper 情绪类 ①抱歉的：sorry/regretful ②愤怒：anger/rage/indignation 【点睛】【高分句型1】These past few days, I had been building a wall between us with blame and punishment, so I thought to myself that maybe I should try another way.(运用了that引导的宾语从句) 【高分句型2】It was clear that he had never heard an apology from a teacher before.(运用了形式主语it和that引导的主语从句) 【高分句型3】In the days that followed, Tyler didn’t misbehave in class anymore and took an active part in class discussions.(运用了that引导的定语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高二年级英语月考试卷 第一部分 听力部分（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。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.

These are the galleries you need to add to your must-visit list. Royal Academy of Arts (RA), London Not your standard gallery, the Royal Academy of Arts is led by artists to promote not just the appreciation of art, but its practice. It is world-famous for hosting some exhibitions that get everyone talking. Besides, what sets the RA apart is its engagement with the public through participatory experiences, allowing visitors to not only view art but become part of it in innovative ways. Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts, Norwich Sitting on the edge of the University of East Anglia’s campus, the Sainsbury Centre holds a collection of remarkable works of art spanning over 2,000 years. Inside the seminal Norman Foster building, you’ll find artworks from around the world, including some stunning pieces of European modern art by Degas, Francis Bacon, and Alberto Giacometti. Yorkshire Sculpture Park West Yorkshire Tearing up the rulebook when it comes to how we traditionally view art the Yorkshire Sculpture Park strives to break down barriers by showing works from British and international artists in the open air. Set in hundreds of acres of West Yorkshire parkland, you’ll see sculptures by some of the leading artists of the 20th century. Whitworth, Manchester After a sky-high £15 million development, the Whitworth is becoming one of the premier galleries in the north of England. Making full use of its picturesque park setting, the gallery has a beautiful art garden and a sculpture terrace (露台), all waiting to be explored. Inside the gallery, you can view an exciting programme of ever-changing exhibitions. 1. What is special about the Royal Academy of Arts? A. It offers interactive experiences. B. It displays works by senior artists. C. It occupies a vast space in the museum. D. It stages exhibitions in a traditional way. 2. What do Yorkshire Sculpture Park and Whitworth have in common? A. They are small in scale. B. They offer outdoor settings. C. They feature long-standing works. D. They host exhibitions on an annual basis. 3. Where is the text probably taken from? A. An art textbook. B. An art student’s paper. C. A personal travel blog. D. A travel guidebook. B Because my stories keep my heart pounding at night with the possibility of it all, when I can’t get words on paper, I want to scream. All my energy pools at the bottom of my heart, where it continues to yell at me all day long, “Write! Write! Write!” I have to quiet the voice like a hidden pet, shushing (发嘘声) it over and over until I get the chance to leave, laptop in hand, stories pouring out of my mind. What poor, unfortunate lives we artists live! We’re tortured by our words, whether they’re circling around in our minds at 3 a.m. or written on paper, looking sad and regretful that we’ve put them there. Our words laugh at us before and after they leave our bodies. I messaged a writing mentor (导师) when I found myself running in circles. With only a small window of time to myself each afternoon, I found it hard to write. If only I had more time, I could finish my book. If only people would leave me alone. I could become an accomplished writer. It was everyone else’s fault. Small -- my mentor told me to start small but keep going. “Do what you can, when you can. Let that be enough during the busy seasons.” In her eyes, she was once me. She was once crazy with tasks that kept her hands pushing, pulling, grabbing and moving endlessly. She recognized herself in the way I talked with starry eyes about my dreamy writing goals and plans. Essays, articles and short stories flowered in my rich mind. In a few wise words, she gave me the freedom to write in small periods of time she called “the cracks of the day”. She argued that I should run after publishing with the same desire as ever. But in her patient voice, I heard a gentle reminder of stopping running so hard and instead slowing to a sustainable pace. So I write. I submit. I live, and I dream. 4. What can we infer about the author from the first paragraph? A. She is forced to write constantly. B. She has a strong desire to write. C She has serious heart problems. D. She is unable to focus on reading. 5. What does the underlined word “tortured” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Examined. B. Inspired. C. Troubled. D. Impressed. 6. What problem did the author have in writing? A. Almost no one likes her writing. B. She couldn’t make a living by writing stories. C. She has no one to rely on. D. She suffered from a serious lack of time. 7. Which of the following can sum up the writing mentor’s suggestion to the author? A. Constant drops wear away a stone. B. All roads lead to Rome. C. Strike while the iron is hot. D. No pains, no gains. C According to a well-known team of researchers, there are three kinds of smiles: genuine, false, and miserable. How can we distinguish them? In experiments where subjects are shown photos of fake and spontaneous smiles, people are pretty good at telling the difference. But in the real world, most people are less able to distinguish between them. They are distracted by other elements of communication such as speech, hand gestures, and other body movements. However, if they were to focus only on the face, they would probably know whether a smile was genuine or not. This is because two muscles are involved in spontaneous smiling. The first muscle is a ring-like band of muscle around each eye. When it contracts, it causes what we know as “smiling eyes”. The other muscle extends from the top of the cheekbone to the corners of the mouth. It moves the mouth upwards when we smile. This muscle on its own produces what we call the “mouth smile. ”When people genuinely smile, in a spontaneous burst of positive emotions, the corners of the mouth move up and the muscles around the eyes also contract. It is these muscles that show that a smile is sincere. Smiles can mean very different things in different countries. In the USA, for example, a smile is a friendly, positive gesture of trust. In contrast, in some Asian societies, people smile when they are happy, of course, but also when they feel anger, sadness, confusion, or embarrassment, perhaps to mask their true feelings. Cultural norms aside, some people tend to smile more than others and that seems to indicate they are cheerful, optimistic types. But that relationship isn’t strictly true. Some people rarely smile and are quite happy. Others often have a smile on their face when they are actually feeling anxious. Human communication is full of uncertainties and we sometimes have a difficult time understanding each other, but a genuine, heartfelt smile that lights up a face can never be misunderstood. 8. What did the experiments show? A. Most people tend to force a smile when taking pictures. B. People wearing a fake smile can be genuine sometimes. C. People using body language are often smiling genuinely. D. Most people fail to detect fake smiles in reality due to distractions. 9. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. How to control facial muscles. B. How smiles influence emotions. C. How to distinguish different smiles. D. How spontaneous smiling happens. 10. Why are the USA and some Asian societies mentioned in the text? A. To show the problems brought by smiling. B. To show some cultural differences of smiling. C. To explain how people hide their true feelings. D. To explain why smiling more can have positive effects. 11. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Smiling has little to do with character. B. Smiling can clear up misunderstandings. C. People rarely smiling are hard to get on with. D. Uncertain smiles cannot lead to close relationships. D The next time you find yourself in nature, away from the crowded urban environment, take a deep breath of the fresh and clean air. That refreshing breath is made possible by the trees around you. Today, our cars and machines fill the air with carbon emissions. But scientists imagine a future, where vehicles will clean the air as efficiently as trees do. Euro News reports that the electric car, designed by Dutch students at the Eindhoven University of Technology, is capable of removing a small amount of carbon from the air. The car’s sporty frame is nearly entirely composed of recycled plastics run through a 3D-printer and the engine is powered by an electric lithium-ion (锂离子) battery. By using 3D printing, the team could produce parts in the exact shape needed, with very little waste. Since nearly 2 billion tires end up in the trash yearly, the students also teamed up with Black Bear Carbon to source recycled black carbon for the tires. Moreover, solar panels fitted to the car’s roof allow it to act as an external solar power source for a house. According to Reuters, electric vehicles produce near-zero CO2 emissions as they drive. The drawback of these batteries, however, is that the process needed to create the battery cells for electric cars is still highly polluting. To offset the harmful effect of creating the lithium-ion batteries, the team fitted the car with two filters (过滤器), which can capture (捕获) two kilograms of CO2 every 18,000 miles or so. That might not sound like a lot, but the team is confident they can make sure the two filters will capture more CO2. The team is now on tour in the US to promote their model, which they call ZEM for Zero-Emission Mobility, and to share their vision for the future. They picture electric car charging stations also fitted with the capacity to empty CO2. “Our end goal is to create a more sustainable future,” said Jens Lahaijie, a member of the team that produced the car. 12. What can we know about the electric car? A. It is a completely 3D printed product. B. Its design is environmentally-friendly. C. It is still dependent on traditional fuels. D. Its task is to protect trees in urban areas. 13. What will the Dutch students do with their electric car? A. Equip it with more filters and solar panels. B.

He had been suspended (使停学) many times in previous years because of his anger issues. When he entered my class, I thought the worst. Tyler sat in the back row. Every time I talked to the class, I would ask students questions, calling them by name. Unfortunately, every time I called on Tyler, he would respond with a joke. If he got an answer wrong, he would become angry. About a month into the year, I was still trying to connect with Tyler. I can usually get students involved in class discussions or at least have them sit quietly and attentively (专心地). By contrast, Tyler was often loud and sometimes rude. He had been in so much trouble over the years. He expected his teachers to know about his past; about how many times he had been sent to the office or suspended from school. I had found that these sorts of referrals (移交) were not very effective and that students would return from the office behaving worse than before. One day, Tyler was talking over me while I was teaching. I stopped my lesson and said, “Tyler, why don’t you join in our discussion instead of having one of your own?” With that, he got up from his chair, pushed it over and yelled something. I can’t remember what he said other than that he included some impolite words. I sent Tyler straight to the office, and he received a week’s suspension. To this point, this was one of my worst teaching experiences. Tyler’s anger was almost too much for me. The week Tyler was suspended from school was a wonderful time, and we got a lot accomplished as a class. However, the suspension week would soon come to an end, and I was fearful of his return. 续写要求： 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。 On the day of Tyler’s return, I stood at the door awaiting him. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A spark of surprise flashed across his face. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
