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.

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：If you go out of the hotel and turn right，after about a 200 meters’ walk，you will see the central park. Text 9 W：Joe，you look worried.Is everything OK? M：Honestly?

M：Thanks.But I don’t know.All my classes are so hard this term.I just don’t have enough time to study for it.I had my chemistry mid-term exam the day before.And I had to write a ten-page paper for my literature class over the weekend.By the time I got finished with all of the other tests and projects，I couldn’t catch up on this class.I even thought about withdrawing from this class.But we’re pretty far into the term now.If I withdraw，it’ll show on my academic record. 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 Find out how and where you can use your PRESTO card to save with discounts on events，entertainment，attractions，and brands.Click here often to see what new offers become available!

Toumi witnessed first-hand the destructive effect of desertification(沙漠化)．“Within 10 years rich farmers became worse off，and in 10 years from now they will be poor.I wanted to stop the Sahara Desert in its tracks.” A decrease in average rainfall and an increase in the severity of droughts have led to an estimated 75 percent of Tunisia’s agricultural lands being threatened by desertification. Toumi recognized that farming practices needed to change.She is confident that small land areas can bring large returns if farmers are able to adapt by planting sustainable crops，using new technologies for water treatment and focusing on natural products and fertilizers(肥料) rather than chemicals. In 2012，Toumi consolidated her dream to fight the desert.She moved to Tunisia，and set up a programme named Acacias for All to put her sustainable farming philosophy into action，“I want to show young people in rural areas that they can create opportunities where they are.Nobody is better able to understand the impact of desertification and climate change than somebody who is living with no access to water.” By September 2016，more than 130,000 acacia trees had been planted on 20 pilot farms，with farmers recording a 60 percent survival rate.Toumi estimates that some 3 million acacia trees are needed to protect Tunisia’s farmland.She had expected to plant 1 million trees by 2018.In the next couple of years，Toumi hopes to extend the programme to Algeria and Morocco. 语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述的是一个在法国长大的小女孩创办了名为Acacias for All的项目，通过种植金合欢树来阻止土地沙漠化。 24．How did Toumi’s holiday trips to Tunisia influence her? A．They made her decide to leave the country. B．They helped her better understand her father. C．They fired her enthusiasm for helping others. D．They destroyed her dream of being a teacher. 答案　C 解析　细节理解题。根据文章第一段第二句“Her passion to help others was awakened when，from the age of nine，she accompanied her Tunisian father to his birthplace in the east of the country during holidays.”可知，她陪着父亲返乡之旅唤醒了她帮助别人的热情。故选C。 25．What is the main cause of the desertification of Tunisia’s farmland? A．Less rainfall. B．Soil pollution. C．Cold weather. D．Forest damage. 答案　A 解析　细节理解题。根据文章第二段末句“A decrease in average rainfall and an increase in the severity of droughts have led to an estimated 75 percent of Tunisia’s agricultural lands being threatened by desertification.”可知，突尼斯的农业土地受到沙漠化的威胁主要是因为降水量少。故选A。 26．Why did Toumi set up Acacias for All in Tunisia? A．To create job opportunities for young people. B．To help the children obtain a basic education. C．To persuade the farmers not to use fertilizers. D．To strengthen the protection of local farmland. 答案　D 解析　推理判断题。根据第四段的“In 2012，Toumi consolidated her dream to fight the desert.She moved to Tunisia，and set up a programme named Acacias for All to put her sustainable farming philosophy into action...”以及最后一段的“Toumi estimates that some 3 million acacia trees are needed to protect Tunisia’s farmland.”可知，Toumi设立这个项目是为了更好地加强对当地农田的保护。故选D。 27．Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A．Saving Water in Tunisia B．Planting Trees for Money C．Fighting Poverty in North Africa D．Sustainable Farming Against Deserts 答案　D 解析　标题归纳题。根据文章第二段的“Toumi witnessed first-hand the destructive effect of desertification(沙漠化)．”可知，Toumi目睹了沙漠化的破坏性；根据第三段的“Toumi recognized that farming practices needed to change.”可知，Toumi认为耕作方式需要改变；结合第四段的“In 2012，Toumi consolidated her dream to fight the desert...set up a programme named Acacias for All...”可以推断，本文主要讲述的是一个小女孩通过可持续农耕来对抗沙漠化，所以“Sustainable Farming Against Deserts”作为文章标题最为合适。故选D。 C TikTok has appeared as a major starter of food trends—from mushroom coffee and pancake cereal to cloud bread.But there’s another trend dominating TikTok that’s become bigger than any of these viral recipes.That’s the #whatieatinaday trend，which is nearing 9 billion views.These video food diaries are also popular on Instagram—typically featuring a wellness influencer or celebrity showing their foods they ate that day—often with a full-length yoga clothes mirror selfie. The basic message these posts send is that if you eat like them，then you can eventually look like them.The posts are promoting the idea of a perfect or ideal day of eating，along with a perfect body size. “Younger audience，especially girls and young women，accept the message that they must eat like these creators in order to achieve and maintain not only health，but also social attraction，” says Cara Harbstreet.“The biggest harm I see with this trend is that it normalizes disordered or restrictive eating behaviors.This could prevent someone struggling with an eating disorder from seeking and receiving support or treatment.” Even if the #whatieatinaday posts are displaying a balanced day of eating，the message of “eat like me，and you will look like me” is harmful because people would not necessarily achieve the same body size as the Instagrammer even if they copied their day of eating bite for bite. Rather than a day’s worth of food，many experts suggest posting a single meal instead.Rachael Hartley said an individual meal or recipe could serve as an idea or inspiration versus a full day of eating to copy. “I occasionally share #whyIateWednesday posts，with the aim of showing a wide range of foods，including fast food，desserts，convenience foods and other foods that diet culture might dislike，as well as showing how to include nutrition in a gentle way，” she said. Rumsey says diet culture has changed our sense of how much is “normal” to eat at meals or snacks，so it can be helpful to see a full meal that shows a variety of foods. 语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了抖音上流行发布“每天吃什么”视频，作者指出其中包含的危害以及建议。 28．What does the author try to explain in paragraph 1? A．What foods are posted on Instagram. B．What role TikTok plays in food diaries. C．What wellness influencers show on TikTok. D．What trend is popular in social networking sites. 答案　D 解析　段落大意题。根据第一段中的“TikTok has appeared as a major starter of food trends...But there’s another trend dominating TikTok that’s become bigger than any of these viral recipes.That’s the #whatieatinaday trend...”可知，作者在第一段中试图解释社交网站的流行趋势。故选D。 29．Why does Cara consider the #whatieatinaday harmful? A．Because it asks people to eat the same food. B．Because it doesn’t promote a perfect day of eating. C．Because it makes disordered eating behaviors normal. D．Because it prevents people from achieving the same body size. 答案　C 解析　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The biggest harm I see with this trend is that it normalizes disordered or restrictive eating behaviors.”可知，卡拉认为“每天吃什么”是有害的是因为它使紊乱的或限制性的饮食行为看起来正常。故选C。 30．What do eating experts suggest posting? A．Diet culture. B．One meal at a time. C．A day’s worth of food. D．A week’s worth of food. 答案　B 解析　细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中的“Rather than a day’s worth of food，many experts suggest posting a single meal instead.”可知，饮食专家建议发布一次一餐。故选B。 31．What is the author’s purpose of writing this passage? A．To teach how to share food on TikTok. B．To recommend some famous eating posts. C．To explore the causes of disordered eating behaviors. D．To explain the dangers of video food diaries，such as from the #whatieatinaday. 答案　D 解析　推理判断题。根据文章一二两段可知，社交媒体上兴起了每天吃什么的视频饮食日记；根据第三段中的“The biggest harm I see with this trend is that it normalizes disordered or restrictive eating behaviors.”和第四段中的“Even if the #whatieatinaday posts are displaying a balanced day of eating，the message of ‘eat like me，and you will look like me’ is harmful...”；最后三段则是建议和看法。由此可推知，作者写这篇文章的目的是解释视频饮食日记的危害。故选D。 D Have you ever read back something you’ve written and felt like it’s not quite as strong as you’d like? One possible reason is that you overuse crutch words(拐杖词)．So，what are crutch words? Crutch words are words a speaker or a writer uses without knowing it.They are usually not needed and don’t add to the story.If someone is speaking，you’ll recognize a crutch word as a pause，or if the speaker uses “um” or “ah” a lot.Crutch words in the conversation also include favorite words and phrases，such as “you know”“anyway”“just”“all right” and “like”．They only give the speaker time to think before they move on to the next idea. For writers，crutch words operate in much the same way，but instead of a pause，they’re filler words we use because we haven’t thought the sentence through enough.They’re words that are easy.They flow naturally into the space that could easily be occupied by a slight rewriting of a sentence or a different word choice. Now that you know what crutch words are，the question is how you can get rid of them.It’s not always easy to notice your own writing quirks(怪癖)so it might take a bit of hard work to find what yours are. The next time you sit down to read over your writing，look carefully for repeated words or phrases.Mark them so they’re easy to find later.Look at both an old and a new piece of writing and compare the two.Are there phrases or words you use a lot that are common to both? If yes，then you’ve found your crutch words. Once you’ve known your crutch words，they’re easy to cut out later.But don’t be afraid if you find them in your first draft.Eliminating those words is exactly what revision is for. 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文，介绍了什么是“拐杖词”、如何发现自己的“拐杖词”以及如何克服它们。 32．What might an article with too many crutch words be like? A．Formal. B．Weak. C．Quality. D．Easy. 答案　B 解析　推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Have you ever read back something you’ve written and felt like it’s not quite as strong as you’d like? One possible reason is that you overuse crutch words(拐杖词)．”可知，一篇有很多拐杖词的文章会让人感觉没有那么强烈，缺少说服力。故选B。 33．Which statement will the author probably agree with? A．Crutch words are normally unnecessary. B．Crutch words are unavoidable. C．Crutch words give writers time to think. D．Crutch words give writers different word choices. 答案　A 解析　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Crutch words are words a speaker or a writer uses without knowing it.They are usually not needed and don’t add to the story.”可知，拐杖词通常是不必要的。故选A。 34．What does the author think about finding crutch words? A．It’s strange. B．It’s interesting. C．It’s questionable. D．It’s a bit difficult. 答案　D 解析　细节理解题。根据第四段中的“It’s not always easy to notice your own writing quirks(怪癖)so it might take a bit of hard work to find what yours are.”可知，注意到自己用拐杖词的写作怪癖并不容易，需要花很多工夫找到拐杖词。故选D。 35．What does the underlined word “Eliminating” in the last paragraph mean? A．Returning. B．Removing. C．Recording. D．Remembering. 答案　B 解析　词义猜测题。根据最后一段内容可知，画线词与上文中的“cut out”为同义词，我们发现了拐杖词就要删除它们，删除它们正是修正写作内容的目的。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。 Like all mammals，whales need to sleep in order to survive.But they are also air-breathers，meaning that they cannot sleep in the water all the time.There are around 90 different types of whale，which can hold their breath for about an hour，depending on the species.However，they usually travel up to the surface to breathe every 15 minutes. 36 Some scientists have found that whales cannot become fully unconscious or they would drown.To deal with living in the water full-time while having to breathe air，these air-breathers have evolved into voluntary ones，as a way to prevent accidentally breathing in water at inappropriate moments. 37 Therefore，they have to be awake and alert at all times to prevent themselves from drowning. Whales have some of the largest brains on the planet. 38 They can actively decide which part of their brains to use at a given time.This particular way of sleeping can be seen most clearly in captive(圈养的) whales.When whales are sleeping，they can be seen keeping one eye closed while the other remains open. 39 Some species，like sperm whales，enter a deeper sleep where they hang in groups，vertically，not too far below the surface for just over an hour.Other species，such as the humpback whales，have been observed resting motionless at the surface of the water for only 30 minutes. 40 And，killer whales，which are very socially complex，never swim too far from the other members of their pod(一小群)，sleeping in close groups. A．So how exactly do they get any sleep? B．They continue to swim slowly and regularly. C．They won’t lose their body temperature by staying still. D．It’s an interesting dilemma for wholly ocean air-breathers. E．This sleeping technique varies slightly among species，however. F．Whales consciously control their blowholes(气孔) with powerful muscles. G．Sperm whales in particular have the biggest brain of any living mammal. 36．答案　A 解析　根据上文“Like all mammals，whales need to sleep in order to survive.”及“However，they usually travel up to the surface to breathe every 15 minutes.”可知，鲸鱼像其他哺乳动物一样，它们也得睡觉，但通常每隔15分钟要浮出水面呼吸。推测空格处的内容与“鲸鱼如何在这过程中睡觉”有关。故选A。 37．答案　F 解析　根据下文“Therefore，they have to be awake and alert at all times to prevent themselves from drowning.”可知，空格处的内容应该与鲸鱼如何避免吸入海水有关， F项“鲸鱼有意识地用强有力的肌肉控制它们的气孔。”是后文鲸鱼避免吸入海水的原因。故选F。 38．答案　G 解析　根据上文的“Whales have some of the largest brains on the planet.”和下文的“They can actively decide which part of their brains to use at a given time.”可知，鲸鱼有着地球上最大的大脑，可以主动决定在给定的时间使用大脑的哪一部分。所以，空格处的内容应该与鲸鱼的大脑有关，G项“抹香鲸的大脑是现存哺乳动物中最大的。”符合此处语境。故选G。 39．答案　E 解析　根据后文“Some species，like sperm whales...”及“Other species，such as the humpback whales...”可知，本段用举例的方式说明不同的鲸鱼睡眠方式不同。因此，E项“然而，这种睡眠技巧在不同鲸鱼种类间略有不同。”总起全段，是全段的总结。故选E。 40．答案　C 解析　根据上文的“Other species，such as the humpback whales，have been observed resting motionless at the surface of the water for only 30 minutes.”可知，其他物种，例如座头鲸，已经被观察到在水面上静止不动地休息仅仅30分钟。由此推测，C项“它们不会因为静止不动而失去体温。”承接上文，符合此处语境，表示座头鲸通过保持静止不动，可以尽量保持体温不变。故选C。 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。 (2023·江苏镇江高二统考期中) Justin Mutawassim was 5 years old the first time he took a flight.The Delta pilots on board invited him to 41 the cockpit(驾驶舱)．“I remember sitting there and being 42 by all the buttons，” he said.By age 6，he had decided：“I wanted to be a pilot.” His road to becoming a pilot was harder than he had 43 as a child.His middle school teacher wrongly informed him that perfect vision was a requirement to become a pilot.“When I heard that I was really 44 ，” said Mutawassim，who wears glasses.

One morning in class，Minnie’s teacher，Mr Thompson，made a surprising announcement，making Minnie frown(皱眉) again. “Kids，tomorrow is Father’s Day! And at school，we’re all celebrating it by having breakfast with Dads! All of you get to bring your dads or anyone you look up to as your dad to school tomorrow.We’ll all sit in one circle，share funny stories，and have breakfast together.” “What a terrible idea！” Minnie muttered(嘀咕) under her breath. For the rest of the day，most kids were talking up their fathers：businessmen，policemen，engineers，and even an actor.Everybody had somebody who was a father figure，except for Minnie. After school，Mr Thompson spotted the sad little girl sitting alone by the school gate. “Are you all right，Minnie？” Mr Thompson asked.Suddenly，the child hugged his legs and cried.Minnie told her trouble to her teacher and Mr Thompson comforted her. After getting home that evening，Mr Thompson couldn’t shake off the sadness he had seen on Minnie’s face.Suddenly，he had an idea.He opened his laptop，and as the keys on the keyboard clattered，Mr Thompson began to smile. He was putting out a post on social media，sharing Minnie’s story and asking for a dad to volunteer for Minnie and show up to school the next day as her father figure.Thirty minutes later，his phone buzzed. And it buzzed again and again.By the time the teacher checked his phone，he was shocked to see the number flashing across the screen. “50 volunteers? Am I reading this right？” Mr Thompson gasped.He put on his glasses and read through all the responses on his post.He was so surprised.These 50 volunteers all wanted to come and help Minnie. 注意：续写词数应为150左右。 The next day，Minnie went to school sadly，not knowing the surprise was waiting for her. Minnie was confused at first，but when she saw those “dads”，she was obviously happy. 参考范文 The next day，Minnie went to school sadly，not knowing the surprise was waiting for her.She walked along the hallways with her eyes glued to the floor，failing to notice the line of adult men outside her class door.Mr Thompson said her name last after the other kids had introduced their dads to the class.Just as Minnie was about to say that she had no one，Mr Thompson held her shoulders and said，“Minnie，I know you wanted to bring a father figure，and you thought there wasn’t one.You are right about that，my dear.There isn’t one father figure who has shown up for you；there are 50！” Minnie was confused at first，but when she saw those “dads”，she was obviously happy.“You’ve really come for me？” she clapped in excitement.“Certainly，Minnie! Mr Thompson told us all about you，and we wouldn’t miss it for the world！” one of the men said gently.The volunteers joined the other dads and kids for the day，taking part in every game.They had a happy and memorable day.After a thoroughly entertaining day，Minnie was thankful to those kind “dads” and they all promised that they would come to meet Minnie whenever she needed them. 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.
