Another Place, The Lake Ullswater, Lake District Another Place is aimed primarily at families and younger adults. The 20-metre glass-fronted indoor pool has children’s swimming times. Older children can enjoy water sports on the lake including stand-up paddle-boarding and wild swimming. There’s a fully equipped Kids’ Zone for all ages, from babies to teenagers. From £165 per night Augill Castle Kirkby Stephen, Cumbria With the features of a castle but in miniature (小型的), Augill Castle appeals equally to children and adults, and you’d be hard-pressed to find a more family-friendly castle, with a tree house, playground and tennis court in its 15-acre grounds, and inside, a 12-seater cinema, not to mention the popular children’s cookery school. From £180 per night Slaley Hall Hexham, Northumberland This country hotel, wrapped in woodland and golf courses, is modern in feel. You will not be bored here — take your pick from a range of facilities, including golfing, woodland walks, a gym and an indoor pool. Children can stay in their parents’room for free, but there is a 50 per cent charge if they sleep in an interconnecting room. For decent pub food, the Claret Jug is a family- friendly sports bar. From £89 per night Rockli ffe Hall Hurworth-on-Tees, Durham Rockliffe Hall is a five-star hotel that also welcomes children. There are generous dedicated (专用的) times at the swimming pool for children. Look out for the Alice in Wonderland- themed play cabins (小木屋).

Which hotel provides cooking classes for children? A. Slaley Hall. B. Augill Castle. C. Rockli ffe Hall. D. Another Place, The Lake. 2. Where can you find a hotel that costs under £150 per night? A. In Cumbria. B. In Durham. C. In Northumberland. D. In the Lake District. 3. What do Another Place and Rockliffe Hall have in common? A. Both require an extra fee for children. B. Both feature themed play areas for kids. C. Both arrange tea parties for their guests. D. Both set aside specific times for children. B On a cold morning in May, I received a fascinating e-mail from a high school friend, inviting me to a 10-day all-female surfing adventure in Portugal. The offer was irresistible, and I instantly knew my answer was yes. The trip seemed simple enough. Ten women, ranging from 30 to 45years old, all strangers, would gather on the Portuguese coast to accept the challenge of surfing the Atlantic waves. As a fan of travel, I quickly sought permission from my boss for this once-in-a-lifetime journey. Through my 33 years, I’ve observed a common adult tendency: We often limit ourselves to improving skills we already have. There’s a certain pride in improving our expert knowledge, becoming increasingly knowledgeable in our chosen fields, yet unintentionally, this focus often leaves other skills undeveloped and leads to ignoring other areas of potential growth. Two days later, I arrived in Ericeira, a charming surf town, where I met my surfing group. Despite our different personalities and backgrounds, we were all united in a passionate desire to challenge ourselves, learn, tackle and grow. The shores at Ericeira, where the beginners learn to surf, are shallow and covered with slippery rocks. They make for softer waves but are difficult to navigate (驾驭). Guided by our amazing coaches, together, we faced the waves. Sometimes, it poured with rain, and the waves crashed around us, but we were still out there. And with every slip and fall, words of encouragement filled the air. Honestly, I probably spent most of my days frozen to the bone, but that didn’t matter because a new level of genuine joy and personal achievement had been unlocked. Learning a new skill taught me the humbleness that can come from doing badly at something new, and the pride that develops when you finally manage to grasp something you’ve been working on. While surfing might not be my calling, trying it out inspired me to take more risks in life, to step outside of my comfort zone and to never stop believing in myself. You never know what you’re capable of if you don’t go out there and try. 4. What motivated the author to join the surf trip to Portugal? A. The longing to seek and enjoy a challenge. B. The need to reunite with a high school friend. C The love to meet strangers with shared interest. D. The chance to undertake work duties in Portugal. 5. What is a common tendency among adults according to the author? A. They refuse to upgrade their professional skills. B. They tend to improve their existing skills only. C. They avoid exploring new areas on purpose. D. They are too proud to improve themselves. 6. Which of the following can best describe the author’s surfing experiences? A. Tough but worthwhile. B. Common and smooth. C. Boring and discouraging. D. Relaxing but unpredictable. 7. What does the text want to convey? A. Birds of a feather flock together. B. He who laughs last, laughs best. C. Life begins at the end of your comfort zone. D. The grass is always greener on the other side. C A visit to the movies is still among the most popular forms of entertainment even though the entertainment industry always complains about the influence that illegal (非法的) copying and downloading has on its business. “You begin to wonder why people continue to visit movie theaters when they can now watch everything at home,” said Andreas Baranowski of the Institute of Psychology at Mainz University. It was with this in mind that he did research to see whether it was the space itself and the size of the movie theater screen that created a different and preferred movie-watching experience. The research subjects were shown a ten-minute part of the film “Gulliver’s Travels” in different environments. Some of the subjects watched the film in a Mainz art house cinema. Another group viewed the film on a computer screen alone, while a third group sat in front of a very small movie theater, which had a 30 cm × 53 cm screen along with small rows of seats with small figures and curtain (幕布) props - all designed to create the illusion (错觉) of being in a movie theater. The final group had to make do with a model movie theater in which the film was shown on an even smaller cell phone display. The findings show that the larger the screen the greater the extent (程度) to which the viewers are drawn into a movie. So, although the results were best for the movie theater screen, the small movie theater with the computer screen was not far behind, only just in front of the model with the cell phone display. “We believe that the effect of screen size as a factor is not important in statistical (统计的) terms,” said Baranowski. “What was important was the difference in effect between the small movie theater and the only computer screen, causing the experts to come to the conclusion that the environments play a decisive role.” 8. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. People’s choice of the time to go to the movies. B. The influence illegal copying has on the movie industry. C. The favorite movie people like to watch at home. D. People’s preference for going to the movie theaters. 9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The aim of the research. B. The method of the research. C. The importance of the research. D. The uniqueness of the research. 10. What is the best movie-watching experience according to the research? A. Watching a movie on a cell phone display. B. Enjoying a movie in a small movie theater. C. Seeing a movie in a big art house cinema. D. Viewing a movie on a computer screen alone. 11. According to Baranowski, what greatly influences the movie-watching experience? A. The environments. B. The screen size. C. The types of movies. D. The size of audiences. D These students wandering through the woods on the outskirts (郊区) of Portland, Oregon, aren’t on a school field trip — this muddy field is their school. From the moment they’re dropped off in the morning, they spend their entire day outside in one of Oregon’s public parks. “Rain or shine, we’re out here,” said teacher Christine Fleener. On this surprisingly nice day, Fleener’s class of fifth graders headed to the grassland for a biology lesson. Further down the trail, a group of fourth graders is learning on logs. It’s school, just not the type of school you might be used to. “Forest school is where the classroom does not have walls,” said Tony Deis, one of the founders of Trackers Earth Forest School. “It’s how kids originally learned; they didn’t learn sitting at desks, facing forward, and looking at a teacher. They learned from a multi-sensory environment.” Over the past decade, outdoor forest schools have gained popularity in the United States. The idea is that the challenges that come with being outside all day — dealing with weather, building your own shelter, and unearthing the unexpected are all part of the learning process. It’s complicated, of course. Outdoor schooling involves a puzzle of weather and regulations and budget issues. A well-funded private school in Portland, Oregon is one thing, but what about a public school in Portland, Maine? Surprisingly, cold Maine, of all places, has been quick to adopt outdoor learning. The district isn’t all outside all the time, but certain classes, like art, have moved outdoors. Supplies came from federal (联邦的) funds and local donations. And while Maine has plenty of open space, Brooke Teller, the outdoor learning coordinator (协调人) for Portland Public Schools, believes schools in major cities could have green classrooms hiding underneath their pavement (路面). She said, “We have a few hundred landscape architects all across the country who have volunteered to be a thought partner with schools that want to figure out where on their grounds would be best for outdoor learning.” 12. What does the author describe at the beginning of the text? A. The popularity of public parks. B. The routine of a forest school. C. An interesting school field trip. D. An unforgettable adventure. 13. What is the main philosophy behind the concept of forest schools? A. Kids learn out of curiosity. B. Kids learn by outdoor practice. C Kids learn by challenging other students. D. Kids learn by interacting with others. 14. What does Teller suggest schools that want to start outdoor education do? A. Start from certain classes. B. Work with landscape architects. C. Make use of their open space. D. Build green classrooms underground. 15. What can be the best title for the text? A. Outdoor forest schools. B. Benefits of learning outdoors. C. A new way of thinking. D. Outdoor education in Oregon. 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。 There’s nothing more frustrating than a parent saying “no” to something you really want, whether it’s a dog, or a new phone. ___16___ However, there are a lot of simple things you can do to help you convince your parents to give you what you want!

Now, I was an excellent swimmer. Yet, a few months ago, things were different. And I had to thank her for helping me. I was always afraid of water. This fear could not be explained, but I knew that the moment I stepped near any body of water, my legs would turn to jelly. I would imagine myself drowning in the water. That was why I had never gone into a swimming pool until swimming became a school requirement. My school wanted all pupils to pass a swimming test, and if they could not, then they would have to attend weekly swimming lessons in school, which sent fright down my spine (脊柱). Thus, my parents signed me up for swimming lessons at the pool near my house. I had to attend those weekly lessons, and each one was great torture (折磨) for me. I was naturally awkward, and my fear of water did not help at all. Every lesson, I would be spending my time thrashing (拍打) about in the water while my classmates would be swimming countless laps effortlessly. How was I going to pass the test at this rate?I was discouraged. In my swimming class, there was an exceptionally athletic girl. Her name was Kathy. She was the best swimmer in our class and always looked at me with disdain (鄙视). Once, after a particularly long and hard swimming lesson, I spotted Kathy swimming gracefully in the pool. Mustering my courage, I asked meekly (温顺地),“Kathy, can you teach me swimming?” She stared at me coldly, and I thought she was going to refuse my request. To my surprise, she nodded after a few moments of silence. 1.续写词数为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: From then on, Kathy stayed back for about an hour after every swimming lesson for me. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Four months flew past and it was time for me to take my test. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2024年下学期邵东市高二联考英语试题 注意事项: 1.答题前, 考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时, 选出每小题答案后,用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动,用橡皮擦干净后,再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时, 将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 第一部分 听力 (共两节, 满分30分) 做题时,先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后,你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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。 例:How much is the shirt?

The offer was irresistible, and I instantly knew my answer was yes. The trip seemed simple enough. Ten women, ranging from 30 to 45years old, all strangers, would gather on the Portuguese coast to accept the challenge of surfing the Atlantic waves. As a fan of travel, I quickly sought permission from my boss for this once-in-a-lifetime journey. Through my 33 years, I’ve observed a common adult tendency: We often limit ourselves to improving skills we already have. There’s a certain pride in improving our expert knowledge, becoming increasingly knowledgeable in our chosen fields, yet unintentionally, this focus often leaves other skills undeveloped and leads to ignoring other areas of potential growth. Two days later, I arrived in Ericeira, a charming surf town, where I met my surfing group. Despite our different personalities and backgrounds, we were all united in a passionate desire to challenge ourselves, learn, tackle and grow. The shores at Ericeira, where the beginners learn to surf, are shallow and covered with slippery rocks. They make for softer waves but are difficult to navigate (驾驭). Guided by our amazing coaches, together, we faced the waves. Sometimes, it poured with rain, and the waves crashed around us, but we were still out there. And with every slip and fall, words of encouragement filled the air. Honestly, I probably spent most of my days frozen to the bone, but that didn’t matter because a new level of genuine joy and personal achievement had been unlocked. Learning a new skill taught me the humbleness that can come from doing badly at something new, and the pride that develops when you finally manage to grasp something you’ve been working on. While surfing might not be my calling, trying it out inspired me to take more risks in life, to step outside of my comfort zone and to never stop believing in myself. You never know what you’re capable of if you don’t go out there and try. 4. What motivated the author to join the surf trip to Portugal? A. The longing to seek and enjoy a challenge. B. The need to reunite with a high school friend. C. The love to meet strangers with shared interest. D. The chance to undertake work duties in Portugal. 5. What is a common tendency among adults according to the author? A. They refuse to upgrade their professional skills. B. They tend to improve their existing skills only. C They avoid exploring new areas on purpose. D. They are too proud to improve themselves. 6. Which of the following can best describe the author’s surfing experiences? A. Tough but worthwhile. B. Common and smooth. C. Boring and discouraging. D. Relaxing but unpredictable. 7. What does the text want to convey? A. Birds of a feather flock together. B. He who laughs last, laughs best. C. Life begins at the end of your comfort zone. D. The grass is always greener on the other side. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过作者参加葡萄牙女性冲浪冒险之旅的经历，展示了尝试新技能和挑战自我舒适区的重要性。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“On a cold morning in May, I received a fascinating e-mail from a high school friend, inviting me to a 10-day all-female surfing adventure in Portugal. The offer was irresistible, and I instantly knew my answer was yes. (在5月一个寒冷的早晨，我收到了一位高中朋友发来的一封有趣的电子邮件，邀请我参加为期10天的葡萄牙女子冲浪冒险活动。这个提议是不可抗拒的，我立刻知道我的答案是肯定的。)”以及“As a fan of travel, I quickly sought permission from my boss for this once-in-a-lifetime journey.(作为一名旅行爱好者，我很快就得到了老板的许可，开始了这次千载难逢的旅行。)”可知，作者收到了高中朋友的邀请，并且觉得这是一个无法抗拒的提议，立即决定参加这次充满挑战的冲浪冒险，因此加入葡萄牙冲浪之旅的动机是渴望寻求和享受挑战。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“We often limit ourselves to improving skills we already have. There’s a certain pride in improving our expert knowledge, becoming increasingly knowledgeable in our chosen fields, yet unintentionally, this focus often leaves other skills undeveloped and leads to ignoring other areas of potential growth.( 我们常常把自己局限于提高已有的技能。提高我们的专业知识，在我们选择的领域变得越来越博学，这是一种自豪感，但无意中，这种关注往往使其他技能得不到发展，并导致忽视其他潜在的增长领域。)”可知，作者认为成年人有一种自豪感，即通过提高自己在所选领域的专业知识来变得越来越有知识，但这种关注往往无意中忽视了其他技能和潜在的发展领域即他们倾向于只提高自己现有的技能。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Guided by our amazing coaches, together, we faced the waves. Sometimes, it poured with rain, and the waves crashed around us, but we were still out there. And with every slip and fall, words of encouragement filled the air. Honestly, I probably spent most of my days frozen to the bone, but that didn’t matter because a new level of genuine joy and personal achievement had been unlocked. Learning a new skill taught me the humbleness that can come from doing badly at something new, and the pride that develops when you finally manage to grasp something you’ve been working on.(在我们出色的教练的带领下，我们一起面对海浪。有时，下着大雨，海浪在我们周围拍打，但我们仍然在那里。每一次滑倒，空气中都充满了鼓励的话语。老实说，我可能大部分时间都僵在骨头上，但这并不重要，因为真正的快乐和个人成就的新水平已经被解锁了。学习一项新技能教会了我在新事物上做得不好时的谦卑，以及当你最终掌握了你一直在做的事情时产生的自豪感。)”可知，第四段描述了作者和团队在艰难的条件下冲浪，如海滩的浅水和滑溜溜的岩石、雨水和巨大的波浪等。然而，尽管面临这些困难，作者仍然感到快乐和成就感，因为学习新技能带来了真正的快乐和个人成就即作者冲浪经历的是“艰难但值得”。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，作者受到了高中朋友的邀请，决定参加这次由不同年龄段的陌生女性组成的10天冲浪活动。尽管面临诸多困难，如不同的个性和背景、陌生的冲浪环境以及学习新技能的挑战，作者和队友们还是克服重重难关，最终体会到了学习新技能的乐趣和成就感。作者认为，尝试新事物和走出舒适区能够激发个人的潜力和自信心，同时也鼓励读者要勇于挑战自我，不断探索新的可能性。作者通过描述自己尝试冲浪的经历，强调了走出舒适区、接受挑战和相信自己的重要性。C选项“Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.(生活从你舒适区的尽头开始。)”符合题意。故选C。 C A visit to the movies is still among the most popular forms of entertainment even though the entertainment industry always complains about the influence that illegal (非法的) copying and downloading has on its business. “You begin to wonder why people continue to visit movie theaters when they can now watch everything at home,” said Andreas Baranowski of the Institute of Psychology at Mainz University. It was with this in mind that he did research to see whether it was the space itself and the size of the movie theater screen that created a different and preferred movie-watching experience. The research subjects were shown a ten-minute part of the film “Gulliver’s Travels” in different environments. Some of the subjects watched the film in a Mainz art house cinema. Another group viewed the film on a computer screen alone, while a third group sat in front of a very small movie theater, which had a 30 cm × 53 cm screen along with small rows of seats with small figures and curtain (幕布) props - all designed to create the illusion (错觉) of being in a movie theater. The final group had to make do with a model movie theater in which the film was shown on an even smaller cell phone display. The findings show that the larger the screen the greater the extent (程度) to which the viewers are drawn into a movie. So, although the results were best for the movie theater screen, the small movie theater with the computer screen was not far behind, only just in front of the model with the cell phone display. “We believe that the effect of screen size as a factor is not important in statistical (统计的) terms,” said Baranowski. “What was important was the difference in effect between the small movie theater and the only computer screen, causing the experts to come to the conclusion that the environments play a decisive role.” 8. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. People’s choice of the time to go to the movies. B. The influence illegal copying has on the movie industry. C. The favorite movie people like to watch at home. D. People’s preference for going to the movie theaters. 9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A The aim of the research. B. The method of the research. C. The importance of the research. D. The uniqueness of the research. 10. What is the best movie-watching experience according to the research? A. Watching a movie on a cell phone display. B. Enjoying a movie in a small movie theater. C. Seeing a movie in a big art house cinema. D. Viewing a movie on a computer screen alone. 11. According to Baranowski, what greatly influences the movie-watching experience? A. The environments. B. The screen size. C. The types of movies. D. The size of audiences. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文，探讨了人们可以在家观影时为何仍去电影院观影，研究显示屏幕大小和观影环境对体验有重要影响，大屏幕和真实影院环境能带来更好的沉浸感。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第二段划线词前文“You begin to wonder why people continue to visit movie theaters when they can now watch everything at home (你开始纳闷，既然人们现在什么都可以在家里看了，为什么还要去电影院呢)”可知，Andreas Baranowski考虑到这一点，他做了一项研究，this指代可以在家里看电影的情况下为什么还要选择去电影院。故选D。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“The research subjects were shown a ten-minute part of the film “Gulliver’s Travels” in different environments. Some of the subjects watched the film in a Mainz art house cinema. Another group viewed the film on a computer screen alone, while a third group sat in front of a very small movie theater, which had a 30 cm × 53 cm screen along with small rows of seats with small figures and curtain props - all designed to create the illusion of being in a movie theater. The final group had to make do with a model movie theater in which the film was shown on an even smaller cell phone display. (研究对象在不同的环境中观看了电影《格列佛游记》的10分钟片段。一些研究对象在美因茨的一家艺术影院观看了这部电影。另一组人独自在电脑屏幕上观看电影，而第三组人坐在一个非常小的电影院前，这个电影院有一个30厘米× 53厘米的屏幕，还有小排的座位，上面有小人物和窗帘道具，所有这些都是为了制造一种置身于电影院的错觉。最后一组只能凑合着用一个模型电影院，电影在一个更小的手机屏幕上播放。)”可知，本段主要描述了研究的方法。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“The findings show that the larger the screen the greater the extent to which the viewers are drawn into a movie. So, although the results were best for the movie theater screen, the small movie theater with the computer screen was not far behind, only just in front of the model with the cell phone display. (研究结果表明，屏幕越大，观众被电影吸引的程度就越大。所以，虽然电影院屏幕的结果是最好的，但是有电脑屏幕的小电影院也没有落后，只排在有手机屏幕的模型前面。)”可知，有大屏幕的观影效果是最好的，C选项“在一个大的艺术电影院看电影”可以提供最佳观影体验。故选C。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“What was important was the difference in effect between the small movie theater and the only computer screen, causing the experts to come to the conclusion that the environments play a decisive role. (重要的是小电影院和唯一的电脑屏幕之间的效果差异，这使得专家们得出环境起决定性作用的结论。)”可知，根据Baranowski的观点，环境最能影响观影体验。故选A。 D These students wandering through the woods on the outskirts (郊区) of Portland, Oregon, aren’t on a school field trip — this muddy field is their school. From the moment they’re dropped off in the morning, they spend their entire day outside in one of Oregon’s public parks. “Rain or shine, we’re out here,” said teacher Christine Fleener. On this surprisingly nice day, Fleener’s class of fifth graders headed to the grassland for a biology lesson. Further down the trail, a group of fourth graders is learning on logs. It’s school, just not the type of school you might be used to. “Forest school is where the classroom does not have walls,” said Tony Deis, one of the founders of Trackers Earth Forest School. “It’s how kids originally learned; they didn’t learn sitting at desks, facing forward, and looking at a teacher. They learned from a multi-sensory environment.” Over the past decade, outdoor forest schools have gained popularity in the United States. The idea is that the challenges that come with being outside all day — dealing with weather, building your own shelter, and unearthing the unexpected are all part of the learning process. It’s complicated, of course. Outdoor schooling involves a puzzle of weather and regulations and budget issues. A well-funded private school in Portland, Oregon is one thing, but what about a public school in Portland, Maine? Surprisingly, cold Maine, of all places, has been quick to adopt outdoor learning. The district isn’t all outside all the time, but certain classes, like art, have moved outdoors. Supplies came from federal (联邦的) funds and local donations. And while Maine has plenty of open space, Brooke Teller, the outdoor learning coordinator (协调人) for Portland Public Schools, believes schools in major cities could have green classrooms hiding underneath their pavement (路面). She said, “We have a few hundred landscape architects all across the country who have volunteered to be a thought partner with schools that want to figure out where on their grounds would be best for outdoor learning.” 12. What does the author describe at the beginning of the text? A. The popularity of public parks. B. The routine of a forest school. C. An interesting school field trip. D. An unforgettable adventure. 13. What is the main philosophy behind the concept of forest schools? A. Kids learn out of curiosity. B. Kids learn by outdoor practice. C. Kids learn by challenging other students. D. Kids learn by interacting with others. 14. What does Teller suggest schools that want to start outdoor education do? A. Start from certain classes. B. Work with landscape architects. C. Make use of their open space. D. Build green classrooms underground. 15. What can be the best title for the text? A. Outdoor forest schools. B. Benefits of learning outdoors. C. A new way of thinking. D. Outdoor education in Oregon. 【答案】12. B 13. B 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了美国的户外森林学校越来越受欢迎，解释了其教学理念以及存在的挑战。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“These students wandering through the woods on the outskirts (郊区) of Portland, Oregon, aren’t on a school field trip — this muddy field is their school. From the moment they’re dropped off in the morning, they spend their entire day outside in one of Oregon’s public parks. “Rain or shine, we’re out here,” said teacher Christine Fleener.(这些学生在俄勒冈州波特兰市郊区的树林里闲逛，他们不是在学校实地考察——这片泥泞的田野就是他们的学校。从早上下车的那一刻起，他们就会在俄勒冈州的一个公园里度过一整天。“无论晴雨，我们都在这里，”克里斯汀·弗莱纳老师说)”可知，作者在文章的开头描述了森林学校的日常生活。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“It’s how kids originally learned; they didn’t learn sitting at desks, facing forward, and looking at a teacher. They learned from a multi-sensory environment.(这是孩子们最初的学习方式；他们不是坐在课桌前，面朝前，看着老师学习。他们从多感官环境中学习)”可知，森林学校概念背后的主要理念是孩子们通过户外实践来学习。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“She said, “We have a few hundred landscape architects all across the country who have volunteered to be a thought partner with schools that want to figure out where on their grounds would be best for outdoor learning.”(她说，“我们在全国各地有几百名景观设计师，他们自愿成为学校的思想伙伴，帮助学校找到户外学习的最佳场地。”)”可知，泰勒建议那些想开展户外教育的学校与景观设计师合作。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Over the past decade, outdoor forest schools have gained popularity in the United States. The idea is that the challenges that come with being outside all day — dealing with weather, building your own shelter, and unearthing the unexpected are all part of the learning process.(在过去的十年里，户外森林学校在美国越来越受欢迎。他们的想法是，整日在外的挑战——应对天气、建造自己的庇护所、发现意想不到的事情——都是学习过程的一部分)”，结合文章主要说明了美国的户外森林学校越来越受欢迎，解释了其教学理念以及存在的挑战。可知，A选项“户外森林学校”最符合文章标题。故选A。 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。 There’s nothing more frustrating than a parent saying “no” to something you really want, whether it’s a dog, or a new phone. ___16___ However, there are a lot of simple things you can do to help you convince your parents to give you what you want!

Now, I was an excellent swimmer. Yet, a few months ago, things were different. And I had to thank her for helping me. I was always afraid of water. This fear could not be explained, but I knew that the moment I stepped near any body of water, my legs would turn to jelly. I would imagine myself drowning in the water. That was why I had never gone into a swimming pool until swimming became a school requirement. My school wanted all pupils to pass a swimming test, and if they could not, then they would have to attend weekly swimming lessons in school, which sent fright down my spine (脊柱). Thus, my parents signed me up for swimming lessons at the pool near my house. I had to attend those weekly lessons, and each one was great torture (折磨) for me. I was naturally awkward, and my fear of water did not help at all. Every lesson, I would be spending my time thrashing (拍打) about in the water while my classmates would be swimming countless laps effortlessly. How was I going to pass the test at this rate?I was discouraged. In my swimming class, there was an exceptionally athletic girl. Her name was Kathy. She was the best swimmer in our class and always looked at me with disdain (鄙视). Once, after a particularly long and hard swimming lesson, I spotted Kathy swimming gracefully in the pool. Mustering my courage, I asked meekly (温顺地),“Kathy, can you teach me swimming?” She stared at me coldly, and I thought she was going to refuse my request. To my surprise, she nodded after a few moments of silence. 1.续写词数为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: From then on, Kathy stayed back for about an hour after every swimming lesson for me. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Four months flew past and it was time for me to take my test. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Paragraph1: From then on, Kathy stayed back for about an hour after every swimming lesson for me. Her teaching is simple yet extremely effective. Without too many cliché instructions, she assisted me to jump into water directly and then demonstrated the proper swimming stroke beautifully. But once I was in the water, the feeling of fear drowned me again. In great disappointment even frustration, I leaned against the pool wall and dared not to swim any further. Kathy swam around me, patted on my back and encouraged me to try again. As time went by, I made great progress. Paragraph 2: Four months flew past and it was time for me to take my test. Leaping into the water, I was seized by the familiar fear again. On the verge of giving up, Kathy’s trust breathed courage and confidence in me. I managed to collect all my strength and swam to the finishing line. Eventually I passed the swimming test! Never had I been so overjoyed. Turning around, Kathy reached for me and hugged me tightly. The light of the sun shone on us, witnessing the start of a new friendship. 【解析】 【导语】本文以克服恐惧学习游泳为线索，主要描写作者开始很害怕水，但学校希望所有的学生都能通过游泳测试，如果不能，那么他们就必须在学校每周上一次游泳课，这让作者很害怕。因此父母为作者报名参加了家附近游泳池的游泳课。在这里，她得到了凯西的帮助。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“从那时起，每次给我上完游泳课后，凯西都会回来大约一个小时。”可知，第一段可描写凯西指导作者游泳。 ②由第二段首句内容“四个月过去了，是我参加考试的时候了。”可知，第二段可描写作者参加考试，并在凯西的鼓励下通过测试。 2.续写线索：陪游泳——帮助——鼓励——通过测试——高兴 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①帮助：assist/help ②回家：encourage/inspire ③演示：demonstrate/display/show 情绪类 ①高兴的：overjoyed/delighted ②害怕：feae/terror 【点睛】[高分句型1].
