B A Canadian named Justin was fishing during a recent rafting (漂流) trip on the Red Deer and South Saskatchewan Rivers when he heard something noisy in the water. He saw a nose barely above the water. Unable to tell what kind of animal it was in the dark and water, Justin reached for the animal but ended up falling out of his raft in the freezing cold river. Luckily, Justin was somehow able to locate the animal—a coyote pup (郊狼崽)—in the water and catch his raft before it floated away for good. Unfortunately, when Justin brought the animal back to his raft, the baby coyote was unconscious and didn’t seem to be breathing. The pup was lucky again. Justin had experience with CPR and pushed on its belly in hopes of revival(复活). After a few pushes, water came out of the coyote’s nose and he was breathing again! Justin and his new friend were both wet through so they made their way back to land, where Justin made a fire and tried to warm the little guy up. During his 10-day rafting trip, Justin brought the coyote he named YipYip along for the ride, and kept the coyote with him the entire time. The little pup would eat with Justin and sleep in his backpack. Justin wrapped him in his jacket when it was cold. When Justin was able to get Internet service, he called his wife for advice. The couple eventually got in touch with the Wildlife Rehabilitation Society of Saskatchewan (WRSOS). According to WRSOS president Bonnie Dell, YipYip quickly befriended the other adopted coyote pups. “He is wilding up and has a healthy fear of humans now. He will not be returned to the wild until he is old enough,” Dell said, adding that YipYip would have died without Justin’s efforts. 24. What happened when Justin was fishing? A. His raft got out of control. B. He nearly fell into the river. C. Someone was crying for help. D. An animal was struggling in the river. 25. What does the author mean by saying “The pup was lucky again”? A. The pup was not quite dead. B. The pup was rescued from the river. C. Justin warmed him up with a fire in time. D. Justin knew a medical technique for revival. 26. Which of the following can best describe Justin in Paragraph 3? A. Caring. B. Controlled. C. Defensive. D. Scared. 27. What is YipYip’s present situation? A. He acts strangely. B. He is somewhat fierce. C. He is perfectly normal. D. He needs special medical care. C With the largest population in the world, China has the most mouths to feed on the planet. Consequently,food waste is a great problem in China. It is reported that more than 6% — or 35 million kgs — of the country's total food production is lost before reaching consumers, in the household and warehouse storage, transport and processing sectors. With an ever-growing population, it's imperative to deal with food waste in China. Thankfully, policies covering food waste have been rapidly emerging in recent years. Since 2010, the Chinese government has selected 100 cities and encouraged them to explore alternative waste management systems. In 2016，China amended (修改) its Solid Waste Law to stop illegal dumping (倾倒) and promote recycling and reuse of waste, including food. Restaurants will soon be charged a fee for the amount of food waste they produce. And China is using a good food waste processing method called anaerobic digestion, a process that transforms organic waste into biogas, which can be used as energy, or turned into biofuel. Moving forward, policymakers should consider loss and waste reduction to be as important as increasing production. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization, the current policy system of agricultural subsidisation (补贴) mainly includes price guarantees and subsidies for crops, production materials, seeds and agricultural machinery,which leads to local governments focusing on crop production while paying little attention to the wastage in the supply chain. There should also be increased investment in the construction of new warehouses and special funds for storage, transport, and processing technologies. If food waste were a country, it would be the third-largest emitting (排放)country in the world, generating about 8% of total greenhouse gas emissions. This issue is not location-specific, but an issue that affects every living thing on the planet and should therefore be seen as an essential area to take action in. 28. What does the underlined word “imperative”in paragraph 1 mean? A. Impractical. B. Hopeful. C. Costly. D. Urgent 29. What can we say about the anaerobic digestion method? A. It has been widely used in restaurants. B. It is required by the Solid Waste Law. C. It is eco-friendly to reuse food waste. D. It has proved effective in 100 cities. 30. What is a result of the current agricultural subsidisation policy? A. Food waste in the supply chain is ignored. B. Prices of production materials go up. C. Investment in the supply chain increases. D. Food waste during crop production gets serious. 31 What is the main purpose of the text? A. To promote the idea of recycling food waste. B. To call for action against food waste. C. To assess the consequences of food waste. D. To discuss the reasons behind food waste. D When the company OpenAI developed its new artificial intelligence (AI) program, ChatGPT, in late 2022, educators began to worry. ChatGPT could create text and it seemed that a human wrote it. How could teachers discover whether students were using language created by an AI chatbot to cheat on a writing task? As a linguist who studies the effects of technology on how people read, write and think, I believe there are other more pressing concerns besides cheating. These include whether AI, more generally, threatens student writing skills, the value of writing as a process, and the importance of seeing writing as a tool for thinking. As part of my research on the effects of AI on human writing, I surveyed young adults in the U. S. about some issues related to those effects. One participant said that at some point if you depend on predictive text, you’ re going to lose your spelling abilities. Enter “Was Rom” into a Google search and you’ re given a list of choices like “Was Rome built in a day”. Type “ple” into a text message and you’ re offered “please” and “plenty”. These tools complete our sentences automatically, giving us little chance to think about our spelling, and continuously asking us to follow their suggestions. Evan Selinger, a philosopher, worried that predictive texting reduces the power of writing as a form of mental activity and personal expression. “By encouraging us not to think too deeply about our words, predictive technology may change how we deal with each other,” Selinger wrote, “We give others more algorithms (算法) and less of ourselves. Automation can stop us thinking and the resulting text didn’t feel like mine anymore.” I asked ChatGPT whether it was a threat to humans’ motivation to write. The bot responded: “There will always be a demand for creative, original content that requires the unique viewpoint of a human writer.” It continued: “Writing serves many purposes beyond just the creation of content, such as self-expression, communication and personal growth, which can continue to encourage people to write even if certain types of writing can be automated.” I was glad to find the program had seemingly admitted its limitations. 32. What’s the author’s main concern about ChatGPT? A Whether it will lead to students’ cheating. B. Whether it will write articles like humans. C. How students will make use of it at school. D. What effects it will have on students’ writing. 33. What will predictive technology do to us according to Evan Selinger? A. Give us more creative ideas. B. Make us write like a machine. C. Encourage us to think more deeply. D. Make us tend to ignore grammatical mistakes. 34. What can we learn from ChatGPT’s response? A. Writing will become completely automated. B. Robots will work with humans in writing. C. Robot writing will become more creative. D. Human writing will still matter a lot. 35. What may the author think of the bot’s reply to his question? A. Satisfactory. B. One-sided. C. Ambiguous. D. Unacceptable. 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。 七选五。根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Of the many unpleasant emotions we can experience, fear may top the list.___36___.

Everyone was there: my mom and dad and my little brother. It was a big event: the Spring Fling Choir Concert. My name was on the cover of the program. “Cindy Hamond … Soloist.” I couldn’t believe it. Not that it was my name, but that it wasn’t Renee Swanson’s. Renee and I had been friends since kindergarten. She was always wherever I was and she was always ahead of me. Dance-class recital needs a big finish? Renee was picked. Softball? She played first base. And the school plays? Renee would have the leads. The only time I ever came in ahead of Renee was at roll call (点名). Hamond comes before Swanson. I count that as a victory. The choir concert tryout was stressful for me. We waited while Ms. Jenkins called us one at a time into the choir room. When Ms. Jenkins got to the H’s, my heart sped up and my whole body was shaking. When I came back, Renee smiled at me. Ms. Jenkins called her name and Renee calmly followed her. She was still calm and smiling when her tryout was over. When Ms. Jenkins announced who had made the special choir group, I wasn’t surprised when Renee’s name was on her list and mine wasn’t. “So,” I said under my breath, “what else is new?” Sudden clapping came. Everyone was looking at me. I’ve missed something here, I thought. Ms. Jenkins looked at me, “Cindy, you will have to start practicing with me. The solos take extra preparation.” Solo? I got the solo? I could hardly believe my ears. I glanced over at Renee. She smiled and gave me the thumbs-up sign. Now the day had come. we filed onto the stage and took our places. I was front and center. Ms. Jenkins raised her baton (指挥棒) and we began to sing. I could see my parents were smiling at me. The spotlight circled me in its bright light. Ms. Jenkins nodded and pointed her baton at me, but I froze right there on the spot. 注意： 1. 续写词数应150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph1: I couldn’t breathe, neither could I think, and worse still, I couldn’t sing. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph2: The rest of the solo went well ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 华清中学高二年级下学期第一次月考英语试题 （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分） 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 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。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分 30 分） 做题时，请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。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What does the man plan to do?

(从塔上可以看到悉尼港、悉尼歌剧院，甚至蓝山)”可知，游客可以在悉尼塔上看到整个城市的风景。故选B项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Ride the famous Sydney Ferries部分中的“They leave from Circular Quay, travel through Sydney Harbour, and reach Manly Beach. (它们从环形码头出发，经过悉尼港，到达曼利海滩。)”可知，悉尼渡轮从环形码头（Circular Quay）出发。故选C项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据See animals up close at Taronga Zoo部分中的“Educational talks and animal encounters make it a fun visit for all ages. (教育性讲座和与动物的互动让它成为适合所有年龄段的有趣旅游目的地。)”可知，在塔隆加动物园可以参加教育讲座。故选D项。 B A Canadian named Justin was fishing during a recent rafting (漂流) trip on the Red Deer and South Saskatchewan Rivers when he heard something noisy in the water. He saw a nose barely above the water. Unable to tell what kind of animal it was in the dark and water, Justin reached for the animal but ended up falling out of his raft in the freezing cold river. Luckily, Justin was somehow able to locate the animal—a coyote pup (郊狼崽)—in the water and catch his raft before it floated away for good. Unfortunately, when Justin brought the animal back to his raft, the baby coyote was unconscious and didn’t seem to be breathing. The pup was lucky again. Justin had experience with CPR and pushed on its belly in hopes of revival(复活). After a few pushes, water came out of the coyote’s nose and he was breathing again! Justin and his new friend were both wet through so they made their way back to land, where Justin made a fire and tried to warm the little guy up. During his 10-day rafting trip, Justin brought the coyote he named YipYip along for the ride, and kept the coyote with him the entire time. The little pup would eat with Justin and sleep in his backpack. Justin wrapped him in his jacket when it was cold. When Justin was able to get Internet service, he called his wife for advice. The couple eventually got in touch with the Wildlife Rehabilitation Society of Saskatchewan (WRSOS). According to WRSOS president Bonnie Dell, YipYip quickly befriended the other adopted coyote pups. “He is wilding up and has a healthy fear of humans now. He will not be returned to the wild until he is old enough,” Dell said, adding that YipYip would have died without Justin’s efforts. 24. What happened when Justin was fishing? A. His raft got out of control. B. He nearly fell into the river. C. Someone was crying for help. D. An animal was struggling in the river. 25. What does the author mean by saying “The pup was lucky again”? A. The pup was not quite dead. B. The pup was rescued from the river. C. Justin warmed him up with a fire in time. D. Justin knew a medical technique for revival. 26 Which of the following can best describe Justin in Paragraph 3? A. Caring. B. Controlled. C. Defensive. D. Scared. 27. What is YipYip’s present situation? A. He acts strangely. B. He is somewhat fierce. C. He is perfectly normal. D. He needs special medical care. 【答案】24. D 25. D 26. A 27. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了加拿大漂流者救护了一只郊狼崽的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“A Canadian named Justin was fishing during a recent rafting (漂流) trip on the Red Deer and South Saskatchewan Rivers when he heard something noisy in the water. He saw a nose barely above the water. Unable to tell what kind of animal it was in the dark and water, Justin reached for the animal but ended up falling out of his raft in the freezing cold river.(一位名叫贾斯汀的加拿大人最近在红鹿河和南萨斯喀彻温河漂流时，听到水中有声音。他看到一只鼻子刚好露出水面。贾斯汀无法分辨在黑暗和水中它是什么动物，他伸手去抓那只动物，结果却在冰冷的河水中从木筏上掉了下来。)”可知，贾斯汀钓鱼的时候，发现一只动物在河里挣扎，故选D项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Justin had experience with CPR and pushed on its belly in hopes of revival(贾斯汀有过心肺复苏术的经验，并推按压它的腹部希望复活)”可知作者提到“The pup was lucky again(小动物又一次幸运了)”的目的是表达了贾斯汀不但救它出水，而且还懂得知道复活的医学技巧，故选D项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The little pup would eat with Justin and sleep in his backpack. Justin wrapped him in his jacket when it was cold.(小动物会和贾斯汀一起吃饭，睡在他的背包里。天冷的时候贾斯汀把他裹在夹克里)”可推理出贾斯汀是一个很有爱心的人，故选A项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“According to WRSOS president Bonnie Dell, YipYip quickly befriended the other adopted coyote pups. “He is wilding up and has a healthy fear of humans now.( 据WRSOS总裁Bonnie Dell说，YipYip很快就和其他被收养的郊狼幼崽交上了朋友。“他现在很狂野，对人类有着健康状况下的恐惧)”可推理出，郊狼幼崽目前状况已经恢复正常，故选C项。 C With the largest population in the world, China has the most mouths to feed on the planet. Consequently,food waste is a great problem in China. It is reported that more than 6% — or 35 million kgs — of the country's total food production is lost before reaching consumers, in the household and warehouse storage, transport and processing sectors. With an ever-growing population, it's imperative to deal with food waste in China. Thankfully, policies covering food waste have been rapidly emerging in recent years. Since 2010, the Chinese government has selected 100 cities and encouraged them to explore alternative waste management systems. In 2016，China amended (修改) its Solid Waste Law to stop illegal dumping (倾倒) and promote recycling and reuse of waste, including food. Restaurants will soon be charged a fee for the amount of food waste they produce. And China is using a good food waste processing method called anaerobic digestion, a process that transforms organic waste into biogas, which can be used as energy, or turned into biofuel. Moving forward, policymakers should consider loss and waste reduction to be as important as increasing production. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization, the current policy system of agricultural subsidisation (补贴) mainly includes price guarantees and subsidies for crops, production materials, seeds and agricultural machinery,which leads to local governments focusing on crop production while paying little attention to the wastage in the supply chain. There should also be increased investment in the construction of new warehouses and special funds for storage, transport, and processing technologies. If food waste were a country, it would be the third-largest emitting (排放)country in the world, generating about 8% of total greenhouse gas emissions. This issue is not location-specific, but an issue that affects every living thing on the planet and should therefore be seen as an essential area to take action in. 28. What does the underlined word “imperative”in paragraph 1 mean? A. Impractical. B. Hopeful. C. Costly. D. Urgent 29. What can we say about the anaerobic digestion method? A. It has been widely used in restaurants. B. It is required by the Solid Waste Law. C. It is eco-friendly to reuse food waste. D. It has proved effective in 100 cities. 30. What is a result of the current agricultural subsidisation policy? A. Food waste in the supply chain is ignored. B. Prices of production materials go up. C. Investment in the supply chain increases. D. Food waste during crop production gets serious. 31. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To promote the idea of recycling food waste. B. To call for action against food waste. C. To assess the consequences of food waste. D. To discuss the reasons behind food waste. 【答案】28. D 29. C 30. A 31. B 【解析】 【分析】本文是说明文。 文章介绍了中国食物浪费问题及其采取的措施，号召人们采取行动减少食物浪费。 【28题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第一段中的“food waste is a great problem in China(食物浪费在中国是一个大问题)”以及本段中的数据“more than 6% — or 35 million kgs — of the country's total food production is lost(损失了超过该国粮食总产量的6%，即3500万公斤)”可知，食物浪费现象在中国很严重，因此解决这一问题很“紧急”。文末将食物浪费比作一个国家，并指出其是一个需要采取紧急行动的区域，因此推断选项中划线词与urgent意思相近。故选D。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“And China is using a good food waste processing method called anaerobic digestion, a process that transforms organic waste into biogas, which can be used as energy, or turned into biofuel.(中国正在使用一种叫做厌氧消化的良好的食品废物处理方法，这是一种将有机废物转化为沼气，沼气可以用作能源，也可以转化为生物燃料的过程)”可知，厌氧消化法( anaerobic digestion)是一种很好的处理餐厨垃圾的方法，它能将有机垃圾转化为沼气用作能源，或者将沼气转化为生物燃料。由此可推知，厌氧消化法是一种很环保的处理餐厨垃圾的方法。故选C。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“the current policy system of agricultural subsidisation (补贴) mainly includes price guarantees and subsidies for crops, production materials, seeds and agricultural machinery,which leads to local governments focusing on crop production while paying little attention to the wastage in the supply chain.(目前的农业补贴政策体系主要包括对农作物、生产材料、种子和农业机械的价格保障和补贴，导致地方政府关注作物生产，而不重视供应链的浪费)”可知，现行的农业补贴政策的结构导致地方政府对供应链中的浪费问题关注较少。故选A。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。本文介绍了中国的食物浪费问题、中国应对食物浪费采取的措施以及其他解决食物浪费问题的办法，再结合最后一段中的“This issue is not location-specific, but an issue that affects every living thing on the planet and should therefore be seen as an essential area to take action in.( 食物浪费问题不是某个地方特有的问题，而是影响地球上每个生物的问题，因此必须采取紧急行动。)”可知，本文的主要目的就是号召人们采取行动，解决食物浪费问题。故选B。 D When the company OpenAI developed its new artificial intelligence (AI) program, ChatGPT, in late 2022, educators began to worry. ChatGPT could create text and it seemed that a human wrote it. How could teachers discover whether students were using language created by an AI chatbot to cheat on a writing task? As a linguist who studies the effects of technology on how people read, write and think, I believe there are other more pressing concerns besides cheating. These include whether AI, more generally, threatens student writing skills, the value of writing as a process, and the importance of seeing writing as a tool for thinking. As part of my research on the effects of AI on human writing, I surveyed young adults in the U. S. about some issues related to those effects. One participant said that at some point if you depend on predictive text, you’ re going to lose your spelling abilities. Enter “Was Rom” into a Google search and you’ re given a list of choices like “Was Rome built in a day”. Type “ple” into a text message and you’ re offered “please” and “plenty”. These tools complete our sentences automatically, giving us little chance to think about our spelling, and continuously asking us to follow their suggestions. Evan Selinger, a philosopher, worried that predictive texting reduces the power of writing as a form of mental activity and personal expression. “By encouraging us not to think too deeply about our words, predictive technology may change how we deal with each other,” Selinger wrote, “We give others more algorithms (算法) and less of ourselves. Automation can stop us thinking and the resulting text didn’t feel like mine anymore.” I asked ChatGPT whether it was a threat to humans’ motivation to write. The bot responded: “There will always be a demand for creative, original content that requires the unique viewpoint of a human writer.” It continued: “Writing serves many purposes beyond just the creation of content, such as self-expression, communication and personal growth, which can continue to encourage people to write even if certain types of writing can be automated.” I was glad to find the program had seemingly admitted its limitations. 32. What’s the author’s main concern about ChatGPT? A. Whether it will lead to students’ cheating. B. Whether it will write articles like humans. C. How students will make use of it at school. D. What effects it will have on students’ writing. 33. What will predictive technology do to us according to Evan Selinger? A. Give us more creative ideas. B. Make us write like a machine. C. Encourage us to think more deeply. D. Make us tend to ignore grammatical mistakes. 34. What can we learn from ChatGPT’s response? A. Writing will become completely automated. B. Robots will work with humans in writing. C. Robot writing will become more creative. D. Human writing will still matter a lot. 35. What may the author think of the bot’s reply to his question? A. Satisfactory. B. One-sided. C Ambiguous. D. Unacceptable. 【答案】32. D 33. B 34. D 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨了ChatGPT对学生写作的影响及其潜在问题。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“As a linguist who studies the effects of technology on how people read, write and think, I believe there are other more pressing concerns besides cheating. These include whether AI, more generally, threatens student writing skills, the value of writing as a process, and the importance of seeing writing as a tool for thinking. (作为一名研究科技对人们阅读、写作和思考方式影响的语言学家，我认为除了作弊之外，还有其他更紧迫的问题。这些问题包括人工智能是否会威胁到学生的写作技能，写作作为一个过程的价值，以及将写作视为一种思考工具的重要性)”可知，作者更关注它对学生写作会产生什么影响。故选D。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Evan Selinger, a philosopher, worried that predictive texting reduces the power of writing as a form of mental activity and personal expression. “By encouraging us not to think too deeply about our words, predictive technology may change how we deal with each other, ” Selinger wrote, “We give others more algorithms (算法) and less of ourselves. Automation can stop us thinking and the resulting text didn’t feel like mine anymore.” (哲学家Evan Selinger担心，预测性短信会削弱作为一种精神活动和个人表达形式的写作的力量。Selinger写道，通过鼓励我们不要太过深入地思考自己的语言，预测技术可能会改变我们对待彼此的方式，“我们给了别人更多的算法，却少了自己。”自动化可以阻止我们思考，生成的文本感觉不再是我的了。”)”可知，Evan Selinger认为预测性文本输入技术让表达出的自我更少，自动化会阻止我们思考，生成的文本也不再像自己写的，所以预测性技术会让我们像机器一样写作。故选B。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“The bot responded: “There will always be a demand for creative, original content that requires the unique viewpoint of a human writer.” It continued: “Writing serves many purposes beyond just the creation of content, such as self-expression, communication and personal growth, which can continue to encourage people to write even if certain types of writing can be automated.” (机器人回答说：“对创造性的原创内容的需求总是存在的，这需要人类作家的独特观点。”它还说：“除了创造内容之外，写作还有很多目的，比如自我表达、交流和个人成长，即使某些类型的写作可以自动化，这也会继续鼓励人们写作。”)”可知，虽然未来有些写作会实现自动化，但是那些原创、个性化的写作永远是需要的。由此推知，人类完成的写作很重要，机器无法取而代之。故选D。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“I was glad to find the program had seemingly admitted its limitations. (我很高兴地发现，这个项目似乎已经承认了它的局限性)” 可知，作者对ChatGPT的回答是满意的。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。 七选五。根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Of the many unpleasant emotions we can experience, fear may top the list.___36___. Fear can also keep us from hunting for the things in life—like following our dreams, and developing important relationships.___37___. Experience fear.I used to be very afraid of speaking in public. I would get sweaty palms and my stomach would be so full that I wouldn’t be able to eat. However, each time I spoke, I noticed afterwards that it wasn’t that bad. Things I fear are never as bad in reality as I have in my mind.___38___. Create space.The first and most important step to being fearless is to create some space between ourselves and the emotion of fear. This isn’t accomplished by ignoring the fear.___39___. In fact, a recent research shows that by simply admitting the emotion we actually begin to reverse (颠倒) the “fight or escape” response in the body. Control the breath and feel the fear.Once we admit the presence of fear, the second step is to control the breath, making it just a little bit longer. We feel how fear shows in the body.___40___. With practice, we can create enough space between us and the emotion of fear so that we can replace a fearful thought with a positive one. A. Fear no longer holds us back. B. Fear can even destroy our life. C. Fear is more than just physically unpleasant. D. I have some ideas of how to be free from fear. E. Space is created only when we admit fear exists. F. So one way to get rid of fear is to push ourselves to do things that we fear. G. As we know the physical symptoms of fear, we can see fear objectively (客观地). 【答案】36. C 37. D 38. F 39. E 40. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文讲述了恐惧情绪的害处以及几个缓解恐惧的方法。 【36题详解】 根据上文“Of the many unpleasant emotions we can experience, fear may top the list.(在我们可能经历的许多不愉快情绪中，恐惧可能是名列榜首)”以及下文“Fear can also keep us from hunting for the things in life—like following our dreams, and developing important relationships.(恐惧也会阻止我们追逐生活中的事情，比如追逐梦想，发展重要的关系)”可知，恐惧会阻碍我们追求真正应该追求的东西。由此可知，C项“恐惧不仅仅是身体上的不舒服”符合语境。故选C。 【37题详解】 根据下文“Experience fear.(体验恐惧)”，“Create space.(创建空间)”，“Control the breath and feel the fear.(控制呼吸，感受恐惧)”以及“With practice.（练习）”可知，文中给出的这些都是缓解恐惧的方法。由此可知，D项“我有一些关于缓解恐惧的方法”符合语境，能起到承上启下的作用。故选D。 【38题详解】 根据“Things I fear are never as bad in reality as I have in my mind.(我害怕的事情在现实中从来没有我脑海中那么糟糕)”可知，内心觉得恐惧的事情实际上根本没有这么糟糕。由此可知，F项“所以缓解恐惧的一个方法是迫使自己做害怕的事情”符合语境，也和前文中的“Experience fear(体验恐惧)”相呼应。故选F。 【39题详解】 根据上文“Create space.The first and most important step to being fearless is to create some space between ourselves and the emotion of fear. This isn’t accomplished by ignoring the fear.(创造空间。无所畏惧的第一步也是最重要的一步是在我们自己和恐惧情绪之间创造一些空间。这不是通过忽视恐惧来实现的)”可知，选项承接上文说明空间的条件。由此可知，E项“只有当我们承认恐惧的存在时，空间才会产生”符合语境，E项中的Space和前文中“Create space.”相呼应。故选E。 【40题详解】 根据上句话“We feel how fear shows in the body.(我们可以感受到自身的恐惧)”可知，通过身体上的反应，我们可以知道恐惧所在，就可以客观的对待恐惧了。由此可知，G项“通过感受自身的恐惧，我们可以客观地对待恐惧”符合语境，而且E项中the physical symptoms和前文中的in the body相呼应。故选G。 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。 Like many young people, Jessica wants to travel the globe.

It was a big event: the Spring Fling Choir Concert. My name was on the cover of the program. “Cindy Hamond … Soloist.” I couldn’t believe it. Not that it was my name, but that it wasn’t Renee Swanson’s. Renee and I had been friends since kindergarten. She was always wherever I was and she was always ahead of me. Dance-class recital needs a big finish? Renee was picked. Softball? She played first base. And the school plays? Renee would have the leads. The only time I ever came in ahead of Renee was at roll call (点名). Hamond comes before Swanson. I count that as a victory. The choir concert tryout was stressful for me. We waited while Ms. Jenkins called us one at a time into the choir room. When Ms. Jenkins got to the H’s, my heart sped up and my whole body was shaking. When I came back, Renee smiled at me. Ms. Jenkins called her name and Renee calmly followed her. She was still calm and smiling when her tryout was over. When Ms. Jenkins announced who had made the special choir group, I wasn’t surprised when Renee’s name was on her list and mine wasn’t. “So,” I said under my breath, “what else is new?” Sudden clapping came. Everyone was looking at me. I’ve missed something here, I thought. Ms. Jenkins looked at me, “Cindy, you will have to start practicing with me. The solos take extra preparation.” Solo? I got the solo? I could hardly believe my ears. I glanced over at Renee. She smiled and gave me the thumbs-up sign. Now the day had come. we filed onto the stage and took our places. I was front and center. Ms. Jenkins raised her baton (指挥棒) and we began to sing. I could see my parents were smiling at me. The spotlight circled me in its bright light. Ms. Jenkins nodded and pointed her baton at me, but I froze right there on the spot. 注意： 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。 Paragraph1: I couldn’t breathe, neither could I think, and worse still, I couldn’t sing. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph2: The rest of the solo went well. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: I couldn’t breathe, neither could I think, and worse still, I couldn’t sing. The note started up and then stuck in my throat. “You can do it, Cindy.” Renee whispered. “I know you can.” I wasn’t as sure as she was. My turn came again. I took a deep breath and sang out. All that came out was a rusty-sounding squeak (刺耳的声音). But in that same moment, from behind me, came the pure tone of the right note. Renee gave me a gentle poke (轻戳). My voice lifted and matched hers. When the next note came, it was all me. Paragraph 2: The rest of the solo went well. And when the concert was over, came the thunderous clapping. Renee was the first to hug me. “Thanks, Renee,” was all I could get myself to say. Renee smiled and gave me another hug. “What are friends for?” Friends? Did she say friends? “You’re right,” This time I hugged her, beginning to love the feeling of being her friend. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者和Renee从幼儿园起就一直是朋友，Renee几乎什么都比作者优秀，学校的活动总少不了她，她总是主角，而作者总是配角，一次合唱表演中，作者成了独唱，但是当表演这一天到来的时候，作者在舞台上由于紧张而僵住了。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我不能呼吸，也不能思考，更糟的是，我无法唱歌。”可知，第一段可描写作者由于紧张唱不出歌，得到Renee的鼓励和帮助的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“接下来的独唱进行得很顺利。”可知，第二段可描写表演顺利结束，作者和Renee互相拥抱。 2.续写线索：Renee用纸条鼓励——帮助——顺利完成表演——互相拥抱 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①深呼吸：take a deep breath/breathe deeply ②提高：lift/raise ③拥抱：hug/embrace 情绪类 ①微笑：smile/beam ②喜欢：love/like 【点睛】[高分句型1] When the next note came, it was all me.（由when引导的时间状语从句） [高分句型2] “Thanks, Renee,” was all I could get myself to say.（省略关系代词的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$2024学年。第一学期卓越联盟高。二年级英语学科第一节听下面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。What have you been up to?
