B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了联合国信息中心堪培拉分部组织的DISINFO PACIFIC会议，招募社交媒体志愿者的要求和职责。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章Requirements:部分“Outstanding oral and written communication skills(出色的口头和书面沟通技巧)”可知，志愿者应具备良好的沟通能力。故选C。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章Responsibilities:部分“Working together with our communications team to create social media activities according to agreed requirements(与我们的通讯团队合作，根据商定的要求创建社交媒体活动)”可知，志愿者将会帮助设计社交媒体活动。故选B。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。结合全文及文章第三段“Currently, we are in search of social media volunteers to provide online assistance for this conference.(目前，我们正在寻找社交媒体志愿者，为此次会议提供在线支持)”可知，本篇文章的主要目的是为DISINFO PACIFIC会议招募在线志愿者。故选B。 B Le Ann Solmonson, a professional counselor (顾问) in Nacogdoches, Texas, has seen families fall into a pattern as children reach adolescence (青春期): The youth want more autonomy and begin to push against their parents’ rules. In response, the parents tighten their control or give punishment, only to have the adolescent push back harder and break more rules. Thus conflicts happen. “Adolescents’ goal is to figure out ‘Who am I? Where do I fit in?’ and begin that separation from their parents. Some of that development leads to trying out new things,” says Solmonson. “These are natural things that can fuel disagreements.” In counseling, Solmonson often asks a teen and his or her parents to name a small conflict they struggle with. She invites the teen to explain his or her views about the disagreement. Then, she encourages the parents to give their views and repeat what their child said. Usually, the parents immediately jump to why the teen’s take is wrong. If this happens, Solmonson will remind them that she wants to hear what they think of their child’s view is, not whether it’s right or wrong. She also gives the adolescent the same assignment: Paraphrase (转述) your parents’ position without giving an opinion on what was said. The aim, she explains, is to develop understanding toward the other party’s viewpoint. Parents often need to work on how they respond to their teen when what they see as a mistake occurs. Cooperating with the teen to find out what led to the situation and what they need to solve it will prevent them furthering the conflict, Solmonson stresses. Instead of responding in anger, she coaches parents to use supportive statements like “That must have been so stressful. How can we prevent that happening again?” Moreover, Solmonson often stresses that if parents want respect during disagreements with their child, they’ll need to show it themselves. If a teen answers disrespectfully, Solmonson coaches parents to respond saying, “I’m going to give you a do-over. Do you need a minute to think about how to say that?” rather than blowing up in anger. 24. What do children expect to do when turning adolescents? A. Prevent parent-child conflicts. B. Control their anger. C. Become more independent. D. Set new boundaries. 25. What is parents’ common response to Solmonson’s question in counseling? A. Summarizing their experience. B. Pointing out the child’s risk-taking behaviors. C. Offering their opinions about disagreements. D. Explaining the wrongness of the child’s views. 26. What is Solmonson’s advice for parents when their teen makes a mistake? A. Deal with it on their own. B. Work together for its cause. C. Ignore it without discussion. D. Give immediate punishment. 27. What can we know from the last paragraph? A. Parents should model respect for their teens. B. Teens often disrespect their parents. C. It is necessary for parents to blow up angrily. D. Disagreements are hard to solve. 【答案】24. C 25. D 26. B 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了得克萨斯州纳科多奇斯的专业顾问Le Ann Solmonson关于青少年与父母之间冲突的看法和建议。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The youth want more autonomy and begin to push against their parents’ rules.(年轻人想要更多的自主权，并开始反抗父母的规则)”和第二段中“Adolescents’ goal is to figure out ‘Who am I? Where do I fit in?’ and begin that separation from their parents. Some of that development leads to trying out new things(青少年的目标是弄清楚‘我是谁？我适合哪里？’并开始与父母分离。其中一些发展导致了尝试新事物)”可知，当孩子们进入青春期时，他们期望变得更加独立。故选C项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“In counseling, Solmonson often asks a teen and his or her parents to name a small conflict they struggle with. She invites the teen to explain his or her views about the disagreement. Then, she encourages the parents to give their views and repeat what their child said. Usually, the parents immediately jump to why the teen’s take is wrong.(在咨询中，Solmonson经常要求青少年和他或她的父母说出他们正在努力解决的一个小冲突。她邀请青少年解释他或她对分歧的看法。然后，她鼓励父母给出他们的观点，并重复他们的孩子说过的话。通常，父母会立刻跳到为什么孩子的看法是错的)”可知，在咨询中，父母对Solmonson问题的常见反应是解释孩子观点的错误性。故选D项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Cooperating with the teen to find out what led to the situation and what they need to solve it will prevent them furthering the conflict, Solmonson stresses.(Solmonson强调，与父母合作找出导致这种情况的原因以及他们需要解决什么，将防止他们进一步加剧冲突)”可知，当青少年犯错时，Solmonson建议父母与其合作，共同找出问题的原因。故选B项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Moreover, Solmonson often stresses that if parents want respect during disagreements with their child, they’ll need to show it themselves.(此外，Solmonson经常强调，如果父母希望在与孩子发生分歧时得到尊重，他们需要自己把尊重展现出来)”可知，最后一段主要讲的是父母应该以身作则，尊重青少年。由此推知，从最后一段我们可以知道父母应该为青少年树立尊重的榜样。故选A项。 C Art has always occupied a special place in society. Many people consider artists to be the ultimate authorities on the nature and expression of beauty. For much of history, the practice of art was mysterious, and artists were viewed as being somewhat odd and often mad. Even the word most commonly associated with artists — inspiration — has its own magical qualities. Literally, “inspiration” is the breathing in of a spirit. Artists were thought of as people who were uniquely inspired to create. Of course, artists contributed to this mythology (神话) . Many artists credited their talents to the presence of some supernatural power. Whole movements of art have centered on the supposedly otherworldly nature of art. For example, the Romantic poets believed that art was a term that meant an ultimate expression of beauty and truth. The search for this ideal led them to explore both natural and supernatural themes in their works. Another persistent view of art regarded its divorce from logic. Reason and logic were the province of scientists and philosophers, whereas creativity and insight were the area of the artists. The two separate aspects of the mind were supposed to remain distinct. But in 1704, a major breakthrough occurred. Sir Isaac Newton, mathematician and physicist, published his study of light, Opticks. One of Newton’s major discoveries was on the nature of color. Using a prism (棱镜) , Newton found that white light is actually composed of all the colors of the rainbow. He even provided a scientific explanation for the presence of rainbows. The artistic community was shocked. A scientist had taken a beautiful and magical experience and reduced it to the simple refraction of beams of light through the prism of a raindrop. A scientist had ventured into their sacred territory. More than a hundred years later, John Keats, one of the most famous Romantic poets, accused Newton of reducing beauty by “unweaving the rainbow.” His colleague, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, famously remarked that the souls of five hundred Newtons would be needed to make one Shakespeare. And yet, from another perspective, Newton did not reduce the beauty of the rainbow; he enhanced it. In his search to uncover the secrets of the rainbow, Newton demonstrated the wonder, creativity, and inspiration of an artist. He also gave the world another opportunity to experience the sublime (绝妙). Newton’s discovery paved the way for the development of the science of spectroscopy, a way of analyzing the chemical makeup of light. Now scientists can look at the stars and know their composition. The sense of wonder this ability creates is not much different from the wonder the poet or artist feels when staring at those same stars. 28. According to the passage, what was the common view of artists in history? A. Artists were considered logical and rational. B. Artists were seen as inspired and somewhat strange. C. Artists were primarily focused on scientific discovery. D. Artists were thought to be without any supernatural beliefs. 29. How did the Romantic poets react to Newton’s discovery about light and color? A. They believed it added a new dimension to the appreciation of beauty. B. They credited Newton’s insights to mystical influences. C. They were inspired to integrate more scientific themes in their poetry. D. They felt it faded the poetic beauty of natural phenomena. 30. Why does the author mention John Keats’ and Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s views on Isaac Newton? A. To emphasize the superior creativity of poets over scientists. B. To highlight the impact of scientific discoveries on artistic perception. C. To state that Shakespeare’s knowledge of beauty was unmatched. D. To show that Romantic poets objected to scientific progress. 31. Which of the following is the best title of the passage? A. The Artistic Interpretation of Science B. The Contrast between Art and Logics C. The Interplay of Art and Science D. Isaac Newton’s Influence on Arts 【答案】28. B 29. D 30. B 31. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要探讨了艺术与科学的相互作用，即艺术在社会中的特殊地位，以及科学发现对艺术家的影响。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“For much of history, the practice of art was mysterious, and artists were viewed as being somewhat odd and often mad. Even the word most commonly associated with artists — inspiration — has its own magical qualities. Literally, “inspiration” is the breathing in of a spirit. Artists were thought of as people who were uniquely inspired to create.(在历史上的大部分时间里，艺术实践都是神秘的，艺术家们被视为有些古怪，而且常常是疯狂的。甚至最常与艺术家联系在一起的词——灵感——也有其神奇的特质。从字面上看，“灵感”是一种精神的呼吸。艺术家被认为是具有独特启发而进行创作的人)”可知，历史上对艺术家的普遍看法是艺术家被认为是有灵感的，而且有点奇怪。故选B项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“More than a hundred years later, John Keats, one of the most famous Romantic poets, accused Newton of reducing beauty by “unweaving the rainbow.” His colleague, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, famously remarked that the souls of five hundred Newtons would be needed to make one Shakespeare. (一百多年后，著名浪漫主义诗人约翰·济慈指责牛顿通过“拆解彩虹”而减少了美的存在。他的同事塞缪尔·泰勒·柯勒律治也曾有名言称，需要五百个牛顿的灵魂才能造就一个莎士比亚)”可知，浪漫主义诗人对牛顿关于光和颜色的发现作出反应，他们觉得它淡化了自然现象的诗意美。故选D项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“More than a hundred years later, John Keats, one of the most famous Romantic poets, accused Newton of reducing beauty by “unweaving the rainbow.” His colleague, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, famously remarked that the souls of five hundred Newtons would be needed to make one Shakespeare. And yet, from another perspective, Newton did not reduce the beauty of the rainbow; he enhanced it. In his search to uncover the secrets of the rainbow, Newton demonstrated the wonder, creativity, and inspiration of an artist.(一百多年后，著名浪漫主义诗人约翰·济慈指责牛顿通过“拆解彩虹”而减少了美的存在。他的同事塞缪尔·泰勒·柯勒律治也曾有名言称，需要五百个牛顿的灵魂才能造就一个莎士比亚。然而，从另一个角度来看，牛顿并没有减少彩虹的美丽；他反而增强了它。在探寻彩虹秘密的过程中，牛顿展现了艺术家般的奇妙、创造力和灵感)”可知，作者提到约翰·济慈和塞缪尔·泰勒·柯勒律治对艾萨克·牛顿的看法，来强调科学发现对艺术感知的影响。故选B项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容及最后一段中“Newton’s discovery paved the way for the development of the science of spectroscopy, a way of analyzing the chemical makeup of light. Now scientists can look at the stars and know their composition. The sense of wonder this ability creates is not much different from the wonder the poet or artist feels when staring at those same stars.(牛顿的发现为光谱学的发展铺平了道路，光谱学是一种分析光的化学组成的方法。现在科学家可以观察星星并知道它们的组成。这种能力所产生的惊奇感与诗人或艺术家凝视同样的星星时所感受到的惊奇感并无太大区别)”可知，整篇文章探讨了艺术与科学之间的关系，尤其是科学发现如何影响了艺术家对自然现象的理解。文章既提到了艺术家对科学的抵触情绪，也提到了科学如何揭示了自然界的美，艺术与科学的相互作用，科学与艺术相互融合、相互影响。因此本篇文章最好的标题是C项“艺术与科学的相互作用”。故选C项。 D Most taxi drivers need a smartphone to get to their destinations. But sharks, it seems, need nothing more than their own bodies — and Earth’s magnetic (磁的) field. A new study suggests some sharks can read Earth’s field like a map and use it to travel long distances with accuracy. Since the 1970s, researchers have suspected that some fish can detect magnetic fields. But no one had shown that sharks use the fields to find their location or navigate (导航), partly because the animals aren’t so easy to work with. It’s one thing if you have a small fish, or a baby sea turtle, but when you work with sharks, you have to upscale everything. Bryan Keller, an ecologist at Florida State University, and his colleagues decided to do just that. They lined a bedroom-size cage with wire and placed a small swimming pool in the center of the cage. By running an electrical current through the wiring, they could generate a custom magnetic field in the center of the pool. The team then collected 20 young bonnethead sharks — a species known to migrate hundreds of kilometers — off the Florida coast. They placed the sharks into the pool, one at a time, and let them swim freely under three different magnetic fields, applied in random succession. One field mimicked (模仿) Earth’s natural field at the spot where the sharks were collected, while the others mimicked the fields at locations 600 kilometers north and 600 kilometers south of their homes. They used software to track the sharks’ responses, observing which direction in the tank they were trying to swim towards. When the young sharks were exposed to the magnetic field of the place they were captured, or ‘home’, they stayed put. But when subjected to the southern magnetic field, the sharks persistently changed their headings to swim north, as if trying to get back home. This suggests that the sharks were using the magnetic field to guide them, similar to how humans use GPS. Surprisingly, the researchers found that the sharks didn’t favor any direction when swimming under the northern field. Keller says this might be because they don’t go north of their home location since there is only land there, and so they rarely have to find their way back south again. “This could support the theory that their ability to go back home is a learned behavior,” he says. They might not know what to do in the northern field because “they’ve never been up there.” says Keller. Keller’s research adds a significant piece to the still-incomplete puzzle of shark biology Sharks have been declining at an alarming rate due to mostly overfishing and habitat change. Studying the life cycles and migration patterns of sharks can help us understand what areas to protect when managing marine spaces. 32. Why is it difficult for researchers to prove that sharks can read Earth’s field? A. Sharks are too hard to follow and observe. B. Sharks are not sensitive to magnetic fields. C. Sharks are difficult to study in a laboratory setting. D. Sharks are on the list of endangered species. 33. According to Keller, what might be the reason why sharks don’t favor any direction when swimming under the northern magnetic field? A. They don’t like the climate in the north. B. They’ve never been to the north of their home before. C. They learned to do so when they were young. D. The northern magnetic field was not strong enough. 34. From the passage, we can infer that Keller’s research is significant because it ________. A. provides a new method for capturing sharks. B. supports the idea that sharks’ migration patterns are random. C. adds crucial information to our understanding of shark biology. D. suggests that sharks should be protected from overfishing. 35. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Sharks use Earth’s magnetic field to find their way on seas. B. Researchers discovered a new way to study sharks in labs. C. Shark populations are declining due to habitat change. D. Sharks have a learned behavior of returning to their home. 【答案】32. C 33. B 34. C 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项研究发现鲨鱼可以利用地球的磁场导航，这为我们增加了对鲨鱼生物学的理解。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“But no one had shown that sharks use the fields to find their location or navigate (导航), partly because the animals aren’t so easy to work with. It’s one thing if you have a small fish, or a baby sea turtle, but when you work with sharks, you have to upscale everything.(但没有人能证明鲨鱼利用磁场来找到它们的位置或导航，部分原因是这些动物不太容易研究。如果只是小鱼或小海龟还好，但和鲨鱼一起工作时，你必须放大一切)”可知，研究人员很难证明鲨鱼可以读取地球磁场是因为鲨鱼太大，很难在实验室环境中研究。故选C。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“Surprisingly, the researchers found that the sharks didn’t favor any direction when swimming under the northern field. Keller says this might be because they don’t go north of their home location since there is only land there, and so they rarely have to find their way back south again. “This could support the theory that their ability to go back home is a learned behavior,” he says. They might not know what to do in the northern field because “they’ve never been up there.” says Keller.(令人惊讶的是，研究人员发现，当鲨鱼在北部海域下游泳时，它们不喜欢任何方向。Keller说，这可能是因为它们不会去它们家园的北部，因为那里只有陆地，所以它们很少需要再找到返回南方的路。他说：‘可以支持这样一种理论，即它们回家的能力是一种习得的行为。’他们可能不知道在北方田野做什么，因为‘他们从来没有去过那里。’凯勒说。)”可知，根据凯勒的说法，鲨鱼在北磁场下游泳时没有任何方向偏好可能是因为它们从未去过家以北的地方。故选B。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Keller’s research adds a significant piece to the still-incomplete puzzle of shark biology.(凯勒的研究为尚不完整的鲨鱼生物学之谜增添了重要的一环)”可推知，凯勒的研究重要是因为Keller的研究为我们理解鲨鱼生物学增添了至关重要的信息。故选C。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“A new study suggests some sharks can read Earth’s field like a map and use it to travel long distances with accuracy.(一项新的研究表明，一些鲨鱼可以像地图一样读懂地球的磁场，并准确地用它来长距离旅行)”以及后文中对研究过程和发现的详细描述可知，文章主要讲述了研究发现鲨鱼利用地球磁场在海洋中寻路。故选A。 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。 Want to write better? There’s a new book that says simple writing is best. Do you check your text messages before sending? ____36____ If not, you might prefer getting things done fast, even if they’re not perfect. This book argues that it’s important to write carefully, even for quick messages. Todd Rogers and Jessica Lasky Fink, from Harvard, wrote “Writing For Busy Readers”. It’s smartly named because everyone’s busy today. People get lots of messages every day, from emails to texts. ____37____ Deciding what to read, skim, or ignore happens many times a day for almost everyone. The authors share good writing tips, like cutting unnecessary words and using simple words everyone knows. They say it’s important to keep sentences simple. They tested the idea that less is more. For example, they sent an email to thousands of school-board members asking them to take a survey. They made the email shorter, from 127 to 49 words, and got double the responses (from 2.7% to 4.8%). ____38____ The same is true for text messages. In another test, they sent a short message asking parents to take a survey. It got more responses than a longer, more sympathetic one. Sometimes, being short and clear works better than being kind but ignored. It’s not just what you say, but how quickly you say it that matters. It’s not just about word count. ____39____ Reducing the number of options has the same effect. Short, active sentences with common words are best. From posts to online reviews, following these rules gets more likes and shares. Serious writers should pay attention too. A study found that companies using long sentences and complicated words were seen as less moral and trustworthy. ____40____ It might be tempting to send messages quickly and hope for the best. But taking time to write for your readers has benefits. If you send a rushed message that readers ignore, it’s like you didn’t send it at all. A. If everyone is a busy reader, everyone is a busy writer too. B. They can also get puzzled by social media platforms. C. If you do, you probably like making even the simplest messages perfect. D. They found that longer messages make people think the task will take longer. E. Keeping messages to one idea, or as few as possible, helps make sure they’re read, remembered, and acted on. F. Your goal is to convey enough passion that your readers think the issue in your message is worth caring about. G. Explaining the thinking behind your messages will allow readers to see that you know what you’re talking about. 【答案】36. C 37. B 38. D 39. E 40. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章介绍了一本关于如何更好地写作的书。 【36题详解】 上文“Do you check your text messages before sending?(你发短信前检查过吗？)”提出一个问题：你发短信前检查过吗？结合下文“If not, you might prefer getting things done fast, even if they’re not perfect.(如果不，你可能更喜欢快速完成任务，即使它们并不完美)”可知，空处是描述肯定的情况，C项“如果你检查，你可能喜欢把最简单的信息变得完美”符合语境，故选C。 【37题详解】 上文“People get lots of messages every day, from emails to texts.(人们每天都会收到很多信息，从电子邮件到短信)”提到，人们每天都会收到很多信息，结合下文“Deciding what to read, skim, or ignore happens many times a day for almost everyone.(几乎每个人每天都会多次决定要读什么、略读什么或忽略什么)”可知，人们会对社交媒体平台收到的很多信息感到困惑，B项“他们也会对社交媒体平台感到困惑”符合语境，故选B。 【38题详解】 根据上文“For example, they sent an email to thousands of school-board members asking them to take a survey. They made the email shorter, from 127 to 49 words, and got double the responses (from 2.7% to 4.8%).(例如，他们给数千名学校董事会成员发了一封电子邮件，要求他们参加一项调查。他们把邮件缩短了，从127个单词缩短到49个单词，得到了两倍的回复(从2.7%增加到4.8%))”可知，缩短邮件得到了两倍的回复，D项“他们发现，较长的信息会让人们认为完成任务需要更长的时间”对上文进一步阐释，故选D。 【39题详解】 根据上文“It’s not just about word count.(这不仅仅是字数的问题)”和下文“Reducing the number of options has the same effect.(减少选项的数量也有同样的效果)”可知，本段是描述缩短邮件得到更多回复的原因，E项“将信息集中在一个想法上，或者尽可能少，有助于确保它们被阅读、记住并采取行动”符合语境，故选E。 【40题详解】 空处是段首主题句，根据下文“It might be tempting to send messages quickly and hope for the best. But taking time to write for your readers has benefits. If you send a rushed message that readers ignore, it’s like you didn’t send it at all.(快速发送信息并寄希望于最好的结果可能是诱人的。但是花时间为读者写作是有好处的。如果你发送了一条匆忙的信息，而读者却忽略了它，那就好像你根本没有发送它一样)”可知，本段是说要花点时间写信息，匆忙的信息得不到好的效果，A项“如果每个人都是忙碌的读者，那么每个人也都是忙碌的作家”适合作为本段主题句，故选A。 第三部分：语言运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空 (共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 “When I was 8, a doctor predicted that I wouldn’t live past 20.

I wanted children to experience that it’s more blessed to give than to receive. I wanted them to understand that love of society and love of life is not just lip service; that people somehow have to make it come alive. I hoped they could experience a sense of their own power to make a difference. There was a rural area nearby where a lot of aged people lived in solitude (孤独). They either had no family or their children had left to work in big cities. Most of them lived on government aid to keep body and soul together. An agency, which was in charge of the elder people in this region, had once told me about a needy grandmother, Mrs. Wilson, who had lived alone for many years. I had always desired to do something for her. So I came up with the Thanksgiving plan. In October, I told the eight-year-olds in my class about my plan. “I’d like all of you to do extra jobs around the house to earn some money,” I said. “Then we’ll buy food for a Thanksgiving dinner for a needy grandma who might not have a nice dinner otherwise.” Early in Thanksgiving week, the boys and girls arrived in class clutching (紧握) their hard-earned money. They had cleared rubbish, set tables, washed dishes, helped with younger siblings. And now they couldn’t wait to go shopping. I watched while they ran up and down the supermarket aisles (货架通道). At last we headed toward the checkout, pushing a cart filled with turkey and all the trimmings (配料). Then someone spotted a “necessity”—flowers, which caught their attention. All kids ran toward the holiday flowers, with one proposing, “Flowers! We can buy her a bunch of flowers!” 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。 “Flowers may not be as practical as food.” I said. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With a food box and a bunch of flowers, we finally arrived at Mrs. Wilson’s home. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 “Flowers may not be as practical as food.” I said. “Food will feed her for the day, but flowers will delight her for days or longer.” one of them insisted. Looking at the bunches of blooming flowers neatly arranged there, sweet scent filling the air, I changed my mind. With my consent, the kids rushed forward, chose a bunch of beautiful purple flowers, and carefully placed it into the cart. Soon we jumped into the car and drove toward Mrs. Wilson’s home. The little ones talked and giggled on the way, unable to hold back their excitement. With a food box and a bunch of flowers, we finally arrived at Mrs. Wilson’s home. Mrs. Wilson, a little woman with a weary face, came to the door to welcome us. With great hospitality, she led us into her house. Her mouth was widened with great joy as we carried the food box in. When one kid sent her the sweet flowers, she simply couldn’t conceal her excitement, tears glittering in her eyes. Holding the flowers to her nose, she seemed to regain her youth and vigor. At that moment, the kids had found the power they possessed to make another life better. Sometimes a bunch of flowers could nourish another soul on a dark November day. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。讲述了“我”在一所小学教书，一直以来“我”都希望从小培养孩子们的爱心，希望他们体验到给予的快乐。学校附近有个孤寡老人社区，“我”一直很想帮助社区里的独居老人Mrs. Wilson。感恩节来临之前，“我”让孩子们回家通过做家务挣些钱，到感恩节时为Mrs. Wilson买感恩节的晚餐。感恩节前，孩子们存够了钱，跟“我”一起去超市购买感恩节的晚餐的食材。“我”和孩子们为Mrs. Wilson送了一束鲜花来慰藉她的灵魂。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容““鲜花可能不如食物实用。”我说。”可知，第一段可描写孩子们说服作者购买鲜花送给Mrs. Wilson并选购鲜花。 ②由第二段首句内容“带着一个食品盒和一束花，我们终于到达了Mrs. Wilson的家。”可知，第二段可描写作者和孩子们给Mrs. Wilson送感恩节食材和鲜花的过程。 2.续写线索：说服——选购——开车——送礼物——喜悦感激——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①挑选：choose /select/pick out ②带领：lead/guide ③隐藏：conceal /hide 情绪类 ①使高兴：delight /please ②激动：excitement /thrill 【点睛】 [高分句型1] Looking at the bunches of blooming flowers neatly arranged there, sweet scent filling the air, I changed my mind.（运用了现在分词作状语以及独立主格结构） [高分句型2] With my consent, the kids rushed forward, chose a bunch of beautiful purple flowers, and carefully placed it into the cart.（运用了三个并列谓语动词） [高分句型3] When one kid sent her the sweet flowers, she simply couldn’t conceal her excitement, tears glittering in her eyes.（运用了when引导的时间状语从句以及独立主格结构） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025学年高二上学期期末考试 英语试题 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What is the probable relationship between the speakers?

B Le Ann Solmonson, a professional counselor (顾问) in Nacogdoches, Texas, has seen families fall into a pattern as children reach adolescence (青春期): The youth want more autonomy and begin to push against their parents’ rules. In response, the parents tighten their control or give punishment, only to have the adolescent push back harder and break more rules. Thus conflicts happen. “Adolescents’ goal is to figure out ‘Who am I? Where do I fit in?’ and begin that separation from their parents. Some of that development leads to trying out new things,” says Solmonson. “These are natural things that can fuel disagreements.” In counseling, Solmonson often asks a teen and his or her parents to name a small conflict they struggle with. She invites the teen to explain his or her views about the disagreement. Then, she encourages the parents to give their views and repeat what their child said. Usually, the parents immediately jump to why the teen’s take is wrong. If this happens, Solmonson will remind them that she wants to hear what they think of their child’s view is, not whether it’s right or wrong. She also gives the adolescent the same assignment: Paraphrase (转述) your parents’ position without giving an opinion on what was said. The aim, she explains, is to develop understanding toward the other party’s viewpoint. Parents often need to work on how they respond to their teen when what they see as a mistake occurs. Cooperating with the teen to find out what led to the situation and what they need to solve it will prevent them furthering the conflict, Solmonson stresses. Instead of responding in anger, she coaches parents to use supportive statements like “That must have been so stressful. How can we prevent that happening again?” Moreover, Solmonson often stresses that if parents want respect during disagreements with their child, they’ll need to show it themselves. If a teen answers disrespectfully, Solmonson coaches parents to respond saying, “I’m going to give you a do-over. Do you need a minute to think about how to say that?” rather than blowing up in anger. 24. What do children expect to do when turning adolescents? A. Prevent parent-child conflicts. B. Control their anger. C. Become more independent. D. Set new boundaries. 25. What is parents’ common response to Solmonson’s question in counseling? A Summarizing their experience. B. Pointing out the child’s risk-taking behaviors. C. Offering their opinions about disagreements. D. Explaining the wrongness of the child’s views. 26. What is Solmonson’s advice for parents when their teen makes a mistake? A. Deal with it on their own. B. Work together for its cause. C. Ignore it without discussion. D. Give immediate punishment. 27. What can we know from the last paragraph? A. Parents should model respect for their teens. B. Teens often disrespect their parents. C. It is necessary for parents to blow up angrily. D. Disagreements are hard to solve. C Art has always occupied a special place in society. Many people consider artists to be the ultimate authorities on the nature and expression of beauty. For much of history, the practice of art was mysterious, and artists were viewed as being somewhat odd and often mad. Even the word most commonly associated with artists — inspiration — has its own magical qualities. Literally, “inspiration” is the breathing in of a spirit. Artists were thought of as people who were uniquely inspired to create. Of course, artists contributed to this mythology (神话) . Many artists credited their talents to the presence of some supernatural power. Whole movements of art have centered on the supposedly otherworldly nature of art. For example, the Romantic poets believed that art was a term that meant an ultimate expression of beauty and truth. The search for this ideal led them to explore both natural and supernatural themes in their works. Another persistent view of art regarded its divorce from logic. Reason and logic were the province of scientists and philosophers, whereas creativity and insight were the area of the artists. The two separate aspects of the mind were supposed to remain distinct. But in 1704, a major breakthrough occurred. Sir Isaac Newton, mathematician and physicist, published his study of light, Opticks. One of Newton’s major discoveries was on the nature of color. Using a prism (棱镜) , Newton found that white light is actually composed of all the colors of the rainbow. He even provided a scientific explanation for the presence of rainbows. The artistic community was shocked. A scientist had taken a beautiful and magical experience and reduced it to the simple refraction of beams of light through the prism of a raindrop. A scientist had ventured into their sacred territory. More than a hundred years later, John Keats, one of the most famous Romantic poets, accused Newton of reducing beauty by “unweaving the rainbow.” His colleague, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, famously remarked that the souls of five hundred Newtons would be needed to make one Shakespeare. And yet, from another perspective, Newton did not reduce the beauty of the rainbow; he enhanced it. In his search to uncover the secrets of the rainbow, Newton demonstrated the wonder, creativity, and inspiration of an artist. He also gave the world another opportunity to experience the sublime (绝妙). Newton’s discovery paved the way for the development of the science of spectroscopy, a way of analyzing the chemical makeup of light. Now scientists can look at the stars and know their composition. The sense of wonder this ability creates is not much different from the wonder the poet or artist feels when staring at those same stars. 28. According to the passage, what was the common view of artists in history? A. Artists were considered logical and rational. B. Artists were seen as inspired and somewhat strange. C. Artists were primarily focused on scientific discovery. D. Artists were thought to be without any supernatural beliefs. 29. How did the Romantic poets react to Newton’s discovery about light and color? A. They believed it added a new dimension to the appreciation of beauty. B. They credited Newton’s insights to mystical influences. C They were inspired to integrate more scientific themes in their poetry. D. They felt it faded the poetic beauty of natural phenomena. 30 Why does the author mention John Keats’ and Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s views on Isaac Newton? A. To emphasize the superior creativity of poets over scientists. B. To highlight the impact of scientific discoveries on artistic perception. C. To state that Shakespeare’s knowledge of beauty was unmatched. D. To show that Romantic poets objected to scientific progress. 31. Which of the following is the best title of the passage? A. The Artistic Interpretation of Science B. The Contrast between Art and Logics C. The Interplay of Art and Science D. Isaac Newton’s Influence on Arts D Most taxi drivers need a smartphone to get to their destinations. But sharks, it seems, need nothing more than their own bodies — and Earth’s magnetic (磁的) field. A new study suggests some sharks can read Earth’s field like a map and use it to travel long distances with accuracy. Since the 1970s researchers have suspected that some fish can detect magnetic fields. But no one had shown that sharks use the fields to find their location or navigate (导航), partly because the animals aren’t so easy to work with. It’s one thing if you have a small fish, or a baby sea turtle, but when you work with sharks, you have to upscale everything. Bryan Keller, an ecologist at Florida State University, and his colleagues decided to do just that. They lined a bedroom-size cage with wire and placed a small swimming pool in the center of the cage. By running an electrical current through the wiring, they could generate a custom magnetic field in the center of the pool. The team then collected 20 young bonnethead sharks — a species known to migrate hundreds of kilometers — off the Florida coast. They placed the sharks into the pool, one at a time, and let them swim freely under three different magnetic fields, applied in random succession. One field mimicked (模仿) Earth’s natural field at the spot where the sharks were collected, while the others mimicked the fields at locations 600 kilometers north and 600 kilometers south of their homes. They used software to track the sharks’ responses, observing which direction in the tank they were trying to swim towards. When the young sharks were exposed to the magnetic field of the place they were captured, or ‘home’, they stayed put. But when subjected to the southern magnetic field, the sharks persistently changed their headings to swim north, as if trying to get back home. This suggests that the sharks were using the magnetic field to guide them, similar to how humans use GPS. Surprisingly, the researchers found that the sharks didn’t favor any direction when swimming under the northern field. Keller says this might be because they don’t go north of their home location since there is only land there, and so they rarely have to find their way back south again. “This could support the theory that their ability to go back home is a learned behavior,” he says. They might not know what to do in the northern field because “they’ve never been up there.” says Keller. Keller’s research adds a significant piece to the still-incomplete puzzle of shark biology. Sharks have been declining at an alarming rate due to mostly overfishing and habitat change. Studying the life cycles and migration patterns of sharks can help us understand what areas to protect when managing marine spaces. 32. Why is it difficult for researchers to prove that sharks can read Earth’s field? A. Sharks are too hard to follow and observe. B. Sharks are not sensitive to magnetic fields. C. Sharks are difficult to study in a laboratory setting. D. Sharks are on the list of endangered species. 33. According to Keller, what might be the reason why sharks don’t favor any direction when swimming under the northern magnetic field? A. They don’t like the climate in the north. B. They’ve never been to the north of their home before. C. They learned to do so when they were young. D. The northern magnetic field was not strong enough. 34. From the passage, we can infer that Keller’s research is significant because it ________. A. provides a new method for capturing sharks. B. supports the idea that sharks’ migration patterns are random. C. adds crucial information to our understanding of shark biology. D. suggests that sharks should be protected from overfishing. 35. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Sharks use Earth’s magnetic field to find their way on seas. B. Researchers discovered a new way to study sharks in labs. C. Shark populations are declining due to habitat change. D. Sharks have a learned behavior of returning to their home. 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。 Want to write better? There’s a new book that says simple writing is best. Do you check your text messages before sending? ____36____ If not, you might prefer getting things done fast, even if they’re not perfect. This book argues that it’s important to write carefully, even for quick messages. Todd Rogers and Jessica Lasky Fink, from Harvard, wrote “Writing For Busy Readers”. It’s smartly named because everyone’s busy today. People get lots of messages every day, from emails to texts. ____37____ Deciding what to read, skim, or ignore happens many times a day for almost everyone. The authors share good writing tips, like cutting unnecessary words and using simple words everyone knows. They say it’s important to keep sentences simple. They tested the idea that less is more. For example, they sent an email to thousands of school-board members asking them to take a survey. They made the email shorter, from 127 to 49 words, and got double the responses (from 2.7% to 4.8%). ____38____ The same is true for text messages. In another test, they sent a short message asking parents to take a survey. It got more responses than a longer, more sympathetic one. Sometimes, being short and clear works better than being kind but ignored. It’s not just what you say, but how quickly you say it that matters. It’s not just about word count. ____39____ Reducing the number of options has the same effect. Short, active sentences with common words are best. From posts to online reviews, following these rules gets more likes and shares. Serious writers should pay attention too. A study found that companies using long sentences and complicated words were seen as less moral and trustworthy. ____40____ It might be tempting to send messages quickly and hope for the best. But taking time to write for your readers has benefits. If you send a rushed message that readers ignore, it’s like you didn’t send it at all. A. If everyone is a busy reader, everyone is a busy writer too. B. They can also get puzzled by social media platforms. C. If you do, you probably like making even the simplest messages perfect. D. They found that longer messages make people think the task will take longer. E. Keeping messages to one idea, or as few as possible, helps make sure they’re read, remembered, and acted on. F. Your goal is to convey enough passion that your readers think the issue in your message is worth caring about. G. Explaining the thinking behind your messages will allow readers to see that you know what you’re talking about. 第三部分：语言运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空 (共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 “When I was 8, a doctor predicted that I wouldn’t live past 20.

Ma’s writing journey began in 2016 the year he passed his college entrance exams but____47____ not to enroll in university due to his family’s financial circumstances and his health conditions. Although his decision was ____48____ love and sacrifice, it plunged Ma into despair. The turning point came ____49____ a friend gave him a book, Shi Tiesheng’s best-seller Wo Yu Ditan. Shi, a renowned writer who also uses a wheelchair, had _____50_____ his struggles into profound literature. At first, Ma had no interest in the book — he had lost _____51_____ for everything. But one word caught his eye: “wheelchair”. As he read, Ma felt a spark of light illuminating his world. He could gather the courage to do something, like writing, instead of staying in bed letting life pass him by. He embarked on a three-year odyssey of writing the book by _____52_____ his own life, pouring his heart and soul into the words. In June 2023, Ma received unexpected good news: His book was one of 10 selected for publication through the project. This achievement marked a significant milestone in his _____53_____ journey. Ma writes this line in the profile for his personal social media account as his motto: “Be a(n)_____54_____ writer.” Writing is not just a profession for Ma — it’s a lifeline, a way to ____55____ the world and leave behind a legacy of courage, sincerity and hope. 41.

I wanted children to experience that it’s more blessed to give than to receive. I wanted them to understand that love of society and love of life is not just lip service; that people somehow have to make it come alive. I hoped they could experience a sense of their own power to make a difference. There was a rural area nearby where a lot of aged people lived in solitude (孤独). They either had no family or their children had left to work in big cities. Most of them lived on government aid to keep body and soul together. An agency, which was in charge of the elder people in this region, had once told me about a needy grandmother, Mrs. Wilson, who had lived alone for many years. I had always desired to do something for her. So I came up with the Thanksgiving plan. In October, I told the eight-year-olds in my class about my plan. “I’d like all of you to do extra jobs around the house to earn some money,” I said. “Then we’ll buy food for a Thanksgiving dinner for a needy grandma who might not have a nice dinner otherwise.” Early in Thanksgiving week, the boys and girls arrived in class clutching (紧握) their hard-earned money. They had cleared rubbish, set tables, washed dishes, helped with younger siblings. And now they couldn’t wait to go shopping. I watched while they ran up and down the supermarket aisles (货架通道). At last we headed toward the checkout, pushing a cart filled with turkey and all the trimmings (配料). Then someone spotted a “necessity”—flowers, which caught their attention.
