W：They’re a bit tight across the toes.Maybe I need a different size. M：Well，the length is fine and the leather is soft，but you may need something wider. Text 2 M：A while ago I paid almost $3 for a large cup of coffee. W：Terrible! And look how cheap it is here in Green Cafe—only $1. M：Well，actually，you’re looking at the price for a medium cup，but even at $2 which they charge，that is cheaper than the coffee shop I went to before. Text 3 M：I told you what! I’m pretty sure that the lady who helped Dr Nelson is a spy. W：How could you possibly figure that out? You probably read this book or watched the film before. M：No，I didn’t.I’m just good at guessing the ending of films. Text 4 M：OK.So，what do we need? W：Let’s look at the vegetables.We need some potatoes. M：How about tomatoes? Do we need any tomatoes? W：Yes，we do.They’re on the list. Text 5 M：What floor would you like me to press? W：Thirty-six，please. M：We’re on the same floor.I’m in the Williams Company. W：Me too.I’m new here.

M：It opens every day，from 10 a．m.to 5 p．m.，and it is free.But cameras are forbidden there. W：Sounds good. Text 8 W：Welcome to the famous Peace Block in the capital.Let me introduce you to the place so that you can have an easy and pleasant journey in the next few days. M：Louise，I’d like to know where the coffee houses are. W：Well，the place we are standing in is very near the coffee houses，just 200 meters down the second street.We are standing here at the south entrance of the second street.Left to us is a gas station.If you walk straightly along the second street and turn right，you will find a school after a 100 meters’ walk.Ladies and gentlemen，pay attention! Right opposite the school is the famous shopping center of the capital.Anyway，the most important thing—our hotel! It’s at the end of the second street in the north，about 400 meters farther than the school. M：Excuse me.I hear the central park is very famous.Is it far from the hotel?

W：Well，there’s a study group for this class.You know，we meet after each class for about an hour.And I’m sure Professor Smith would be happy to help you out during his office hours.If you really need to pass，I think that would be helpful. Text 10 W：Thanksgiving is one of America’s most popular holidays.It is a day for expressing thanks for all the good things in life.It is also a day for family reunions.On that day many people travel long distances to get together with their families. But not everyone can spend Thanksgiving with his or her family.Today we’ll introduce a couple，Joan and Sandy Wilson，who could not afford to take time out to visit their parents，their uncles and aunts one year.They regretted not being able to celebrate Thanksgiving with all their family members.But soon they met other people who also were separated from their families.So the Wilsons began holding a yearly Thanksgiving dinner for what they called their “extended family”．This included people in their community. The group has grown over the years.To accommodate all the guests，Mr and Mrs Wilson now have to add small tables to their large one in the big dining room.At first，many of their friends brought their babies and young children.Now some of the first guests are grandparents.They often bring their grandchildren. Like many other Americans，Mr and Mrs Wilson and their visitors enjoy a long day of cooking，eating and talking.The traditional meal usually includes a turkey.Other traditional Thanksgiving foods served with turkey are sweet potatoes and pumpkin pies. 第二部分　阅读(共两节，满分 50 分) 第一节　(共15 小题；每小题2.5分，满分 37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Online courses offer people abundant opportunities to learn.Try some of the Harvard online courses about humanities.

Yet the problem，by just about any measure，appears to be getting worse.Americans are still texting while driving，as well as using social networks and taking photos.Road accidents，which had fallen for years，are now rising sharply. That is partly because people are driving more，but Mark Rosekind，the chief of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration，said distracted(分心)driving was “only increasing，unfortunately”． “Big change requires big ideas，”he said in a speech last month，referring broadly to the need to improve road safety.So to try to change a distinctly modern behavior，lawmakers and public health experts are reaching back to an old approach: They want to treat distracted driving like drunk driving. An idea from lawmakers in New York is to give police officers a new device called the Textalyzer.It would work like this: An officer arriving at the scene of a crash could ask for the phones of the drivers and use the Textalyzer to check in the operating system for recent activity.The technology could determine whether a driver had just texted，emailed or done anything else that is not allowed under New York’s hands-free driving laws. “We need something on the books that can change people’s behavior，” said Félix W．Ortiz，who pushed for the state’s 2001 ban on hand-held devices by drivers.“If the Textalyzer bill becomes law，”he said，“people are going to be more afraid to put their hands on the cell phone.” 语篇解读　本文是说明文。为解决司机在开车时使用手机“分神”，从而引发交通事故的问题，纽约的一名立法者提出使用Textalyzer短信监控器来监控司机在开车的时候是否使用了手机。 28．Which of the following best describes the ban on drivers’ texting in the US? A．Ineffective. B．Unnecessary. C．Inconsistent. D．Unfair. 答案　A 解析　推理判断题。根据第一段内容以及第二段首句“Yet the problem，by just about any measure，appears to be getting worse.”可推知，美国对司机发短信的禁令是无效的。ineffective无效的。故选A。 29．What can the Textalyzer help a police officer find out? A．Where a driver came from. B．Whether a driver used their phone. C．How fast a driver was going. D．When a driver arrived at the scene. 答案　B 解析　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“The technology could determine...hands-free driving laws.”可知，Textalyzer能够帮助警察查明司机是否使用了手机。故选B。 30．What does the underlined word “something” in the last paragraph refer to? A．Advice. B．Data. C．Tests. D．Laws. 答案　D 解析　代词指代题。根据画线词所在句“We need something on the books that can change people’s behavior.”可知，something是能够改变人们的行为的事情。根据下文的“If the Textalyzer bill becomes...hands on the cell phone.”可知，人们的行为会改变的条件是当Textalyzer法案成为法律。受到法律的约束，司机们才不会在开车的时候使用手机。故something指代的是“法律”。故选D。 31．What is a suitable title for the text? A．To Drive or Not to Drive? Think Before You Start B．Texting and Driving? Watch Out for the Textalyzer C．New York Banning Hand-Held Devices by Drivers D．The Next Generation Cell Phone：The Textalyzer 答案　B 解析　标题归纳题。纵观全文可知，虽然大多数州已经尝试了各种各样的方法来说服人们在开车时放下手机，可是问题却越来越严重。为了解决该问题，纽约立法者提出了利用Textalyzer来监控司机在开车的时候是否使用了手机。相关人士呼吁该项技术能够成为真正的法案，由此才能真正改变人们的行为。B选项最适合作文章的标题。故选B。 D (2023·新课标Ⅱ，D) As cities balloon with growth，access to nature for people living in urban areas is becoming harder to find.If you’re lucky，there might be a pocket park near where you live，but it’s unusual to find places in a city that are relatively wild. Past research has found health and wellness benefits of nature for humans，but a new study shows that wildness in urban areas is extremely important for human well-being. The research team focused on a large urban park.They surveyed several hundred park-goers，asking them to submit a written summary online of a meaningful interaction they had with nature in the park.The researchers then examined these submissions，coding(编码) experiences into different categories.For example，one participant’s experience of “We sat and listened to the waves at the beach for a while” was assigned the categories “sitting at beach” and “listening to waves”． Across the 320 submissions，a pattern of categories the researchers call a “nature language” began to emerge.After the coding of all submissions，half a dozen categories were noted most often as important to visitors.These include encountering wildlife，walking along the edge of water，and following an established trail. Naming each nature experience creates a usable language，which helps people recognize and take part in the activities that are most satisfying and meaningful to them.For example，the experience of walking along the edge of water might be satisfying for a young professional on a weekend hike in the park.Back downtown during a workday，they can enjoy a more domestic form of this interaction by walking along a fountain on their lunch break. “We’re trying to generate a language that helps bring the human-nature interactions back into our daily lives.And for that to happen，we also need to protect nature so that we can interact with it，” said Peter Kahn，a senior author of the study. 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。一项新研究发现城市中的自然景观对人类健康和幸福感具有重要影响。 32．What phenomenon does the author describe at the beginning of the text? A．Pocket parks are now popular. B．Wild nature is hard to find in cities. C．Many cities are overpopulated. D．People enjoy living close to nature. 答案　B 解析　细节理解题。根据第一段内容可知，文章开头作者讲述了一种现象，在城市里，人们很难找到野生的自然环境。故选B。 33．Why did the researchers code participant submissions into categories? A．To compare different types of park-goers. B．To explain why the park attracts tourists. C．To analyze the main features of the park. D．To find patterns in the visitors’ summaries. 答案　D 解析　推理判断题。根据第四段第一句“...a pattern of categories the researchers call a ‘nature language’ began to emerge.”和第五段第一句“Naming each nature experience creates a usable language，which helps people recognize and take part in the activities that are most satisfying and meaningful to them.”可知，研究人员对参与者提交的重要经历编码分类是为了找到并总结人与自然互动的方式，有助于更好地了解游客们的体验，帮助提高人与自然的互动。 34．What can we learn from the example given in paragraph 5? A．Walking is the best way to gain access to nature. B．Young people are too busy to interact with nature. C．The same nature experience takes different forms. D．The nature language enhances work performance. 答案　C 解析　推理判断题。根据第五段内容可知，命名每一种自然体验创造了一种可用的语言，这有助于人们认识并参与到对自己来说最满意最有意义的活动中，接下来以一个年轻的职场人士参与自然的方式举例，去公园时沿着水边散步让他感到满意，回到市中心工作时他可以通过沿着喷泉散步获得满足。因此推知，从第五段的例子中我们可以知道相同的自然体验可以呈现不同的形式。故选C。 35．What should be done before we can interact with nature according to Kahn? A．Language study. B．Environmental conservation. C．Public education. D．Intercultural communication. 答案　B 解析　推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可推断，彼得·卡恩认为在我们与大自然互动之前我们应该先要保护自然。故选B。 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。 How to React to Upsetting Posts Online It’s pretty common for upsetting and disturbing posts and videos to spread online. 36 There are plenty of ways you can respond and engage with this kind of content—in any case，taking care of your mental health is especially important.Suspend before you share or reply.Misinformation can be really emotionally triggering(触发)． 37 Even if you have a strong reaction to something you see online，slow down and take some time to analyze the content before you share it or respond. Fact-check the information.Misinformation is often designed to look appealing and accurate，so it can be tempting to trust the content you see in a high-quality graphic or post.That makes it especially important to fact-check the information. 38 Craft an informed reply if you think you can make a positive change.Some posts，however upsetting，come from a place of genuine ignorance. 39 Don’t feel like you have to fight every battle—if you feel like there are more effective ways to make a difference than potentially inviting an online fight，it’s okay to conduct those instead. 40 It can be hard to set your own opinions and emotions aside when you see a really upsetting post online.If you feel up to it，try being the bigger person and really listening to what the poster has to say even if their content is worded in a harmful way.Write out a response that addresses those negative feelings instead of the post itself. A．It’s necessary to make a positive reply. B．Avoid sharing any posts with misinformation. C．You may be wondering how you can handle them. D．Write a sympathetic reply so the poster feels heard. E．You might see posts that make you feel mad，sad，or frightened. F．Look into the source，the website，the author and the publication date. G．If that is the case，write a response that clarifies the claims being presented. 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要就如何应对在网上传播的令人沮丧和不安的帖子和视频给出一些建议。 36．答案　C 解析　根据空前内容“It’s pretty common for upsetting and disturbing posts and videos to spread online.” 可知，空前主要讲述的是人们在生活中总是会遇到令人沮丧和不安的帖子或视频；而空后内容“There are plenty of ways you can respond and engage with this kind of content”则介绍了一些方法可以帮助你回应这类帖子。选项C呈接上文内容，同时引出下文的具体方法，符合题意。故选C。 37．答案　E 解析　根据空前内容“Suspend before you share or reply.Misinformation can be really emotionally triggering(触发)．”可知，错误的消息会让人情绪激动。选项E与上文内容一致，讲述上网时会看到这种让你情绪激动的帖子，你会感到生气，悲伤或者害怕。故选E。 38．答案　F 解析　根据空前内容“Fact-check the information.”可知，本段主要讲了在看到这样的帖子时，我们需要核实该帖子的真实性。选项F承接上文内容，建议我们在遇到这样的帖子时需要查看资料的来源、网站、作者等相关内容。故选F。 39．答案　G 解析　根据空前内容“Craft an informed reply if you think you can make a positive change.Some posts，however upsetting，come from a place of genuine ignorance.”可知，作者认为回复帖子的方法要明智，同时说明了会出现一些表明无知的帖子。选项G是上文内容的延续，指的是当遇到一些无知的帖子时，有必要写一份回复，澄清陈述的内容。故选G。 40．答案　D 解析　根据下文内容“Write out a response that addresses those negative feelings instead of the post itself.”可判断，作者认为面对网上的一些令人沮丧的文章，正确的做法是写出一篇如何应对这些负面情绪的文章来回应。选项D与下文内容一致，都是建议我们针对帖子的负面情绪写文章进行回应。故选D。 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 It was midnight，and I was on my knees，burying head in my hands.I struggled to 41 the sobs that threatened to wake my two tiny children.The call came just hours ago—I got the job.After five interviews and three presentations，I received a generous 42 ，one that needed my answer by tomorrow. To others，the decision was 43 —live the dream，with its security.But to me，taking the job would 44 compromise my heart. Exhausted，I rose to my feet，and made my way upstairs to check on my children，finding each curled up in a 45 sleep.I heard their breathing，soft and even I became one with the moment.And in that breathtaking silence，I heard a voice： 46 your heart.The words echoed through my soul.

As for its advantages，first，the payment can be completed quickly.Second，customers don’t have to carry a mobile phone or a bank card，which makes payment more convenient.When it comes to its disadvantages，the most worrying thing is that face recognition hasn’t reached 100% accuracy，which might lead to payment risks.Additionally，customers’ personal information may be revealed illegally. I believe，with the improvement of face recognition，face-scanning payment will definitely become more and more reliable. 第二节　(满分25分) 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Bruce had a sweet tooth during his childhood，but it was not just sugary snacks that he desired.Being raised in a poor family was a bittersweet experience，but it gave him adaptability and ambition. When Bruce was young，his mother would tell him that the candies in the store’s checkout line belonged to the cashier.She said that because she could not afford a 50-cent chocolate bar.Nevertheless，he saw through her trick and made a promise that he would grow up to be wealthy enough to buy what his family needed. Bruce’s father worked hard to make money outside，so he spent less time at home.Instead of focusing on their economic instability，Bruce’s mother selflessly pushed her children to strive for success so that they could lead a more comfortable life later.She worked for long hours every night and struggled to pay the minimum due on her bills.Still，she would find time to read with Bruce and his sister，Alice.Their mother taught them the value of perseverance，education，and moral fibre.Despite lack of their father’s company，they were loved and nurtured just as much. However，not all of life’s milestones were easy.Some，like moving and being helpless，left Bruce with an endless bitter taste.He had to deal with many problems when they moved into Maryland，several states away from their roots in Georgia，to make a living.The first few months were great: baseball games，family trips to the mall，dinners，movies，etc.It felt like they were the perfect family.Then things changed.Baseball games were too expensive，and trips to the mall were replaced with days Bruce and Alice spent isolated in the study. As the brother and sister grew up，money was even tighter.They spent many years living in a very poor family setting.Even so，their mother inspired them to keep trying and working academically.They even cooperated with each other and developed a computer system.Alice was joking about patenting it someday.But as the saying goes，“Good things never come easy”，and success requires setbacks. 注意：续写词数应为150左右。 One day，Bruce’s mother opened their study door and told them to pack. They eventually settled in Texas，and Bruce and Alice continued their academic efforts. 参考范文 One day，Bruce’s mother opened their study door and told them to pack.They were leaving and not coming back.At that time，Bruce heard Alice sobbing in the study.After loading their belongings into the car，they began to drive along to the next place for a living.Bruce looked out of the window with tears running down his cheeks，watching the people coming and going.Their careers were taking off，but they were leaving again.Actually，life kept them on the move.Their parents felt very guilty for not giving their children a stable home. They eventually settled in Texas，and Bruce and Alice continued their academic efforts.With the encouragement of their mother，they remained dedicated to their wise pursuits and treasured opportunities to satisfy their hunger for knowledge.Finally，their cause was a success.When Bruce faced some dark chocolate close at hand，his mind kept turning in an endless loop.He said to Alice，“Tough circumstances have allowed us to have more life and learning experiences and made us who we are.Success，like candy，could be the sweetest treat of all.” Alice nodded，and she also felt it the greatest joy to help any poor kid with a sweet tooth to gain their favorite candy. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$单元检测卷四。第一节。听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题，每段对话仅读一遍。Text one, those boots look good on you, how they feel there. a bit tight across the toes.
