I am from Isla de Maipo, Chile. I live with my dad, my mom and a rabbit happily. But I was born with a cleft lip (唇裂). I don’t remember anything about my first years with my cleft lip. All I know is that when I was young, my parents found Fundación Gantz in Santiago, where I had been for free treatment. Every time when I went to Fundación Gantz, my heart was full of thanks to my parents. It was not easy to arrive on time for medical examination. We had to get up at six in the morning to drive for more than an hour and be careful not to get hit by other cars, but my parents never complained about such busy and tiring days. Doctors at Fundación Gantz helped me a lot. First, they healed my cleft lip. Then, with orthodontic treatment (正畸治疗), they managed to correct my bite, and later they performed an operation on my jawbone. I thank the doctors there who treated me, and Dr. Angus is my favorite — he has known me since I was born. When I was in the waiting room waiting for my operation on my jawbone, I was sweating all over in fear. Dr. Angus came to my side and talked to me endlessly about the things I was interested in, such as Kayros’ music and Bolano’s books, making me feel relaxed. In the past, before the treatment, I had no confidence, and children made jokes on my cleft lip at school. I started training in Taekwondo (跆拳道) at the age of four in a gym next to my kindergarten and it was just what I needed at that time. It changed me and the children around me — before, children played tricks on me, but later they respected me. Today, when people talk about something on my lip, I will tell them the little mark never bothers me because it is so small that it can hardly be seen. I want to tell the medical experts at Gantz to keep it up because their work is admirable, and they help a lot of people in need. 4. Which of the following can best describe the author’s parents? A. Selfless. B. Impatient. C. Fair. D. Outgoing. 5. How did Dr. Angus help the author reduce her fear of the operation? A. He read to her. B. He talked about interesting things with her. C. He played music for her. D. He changed her operation plan. 6. How did Taekwondo change the 4-year-old author? A. It made her school time colorful. B. It built her confidence. C. It improved her school performances. D. It prepared her for her future career. 7. What does the underlined word “something” refer to in paragraph 6? A. The color. B. The cost. C. The operation. D. The mark. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。 文章作者主要介绍了Dr.Angus等医生对她的帮助和影响并对他表示感谢。 【详解】1. 推理判断题。根据第三段“It was not easy to arrive on time for medical examination. We had to get up at six in the morning to drive for more than an hour and be careful not to get hit by other cars, but my parents never complained about such busy and tiring days.(要准时到达体检地点并不容易。我们必须早上六点起床，开车一个多小时，小心不要被其他车撞到，但我的父母从来没有抱怨过这样忙碌和劳累的日子)”可推断，作者的父母是无私的。故选A。 2. 细节理解题。根据第五段“When I was in the waiting room waiting for my operation on my jawbone, I was sweating all over in fear. Dr. Angus came to my side and talked to me endlessly about the things I was interested in, such as Kayros’ music and Bolano’s books, making me feel relaxed.(当我在候诊室等待颚骨手术时，我吓得满头大汗。安格斯医生走到我身边，没完没了地和我聊我感兴趣的事情，比如凯拉斯的音乐和波拉尼奥的书，让我感到放松)”可知，Angus医生通过跟作者谈论她感兴趣的事情让她减少对手术的恐惧。故选B。 3. 细节理解题。根据第六段“In the past, before the treatment, I had no confidence, and children made jokes on my cleft lip at school. I started training in Taekwondo(跆拳道)at the age of four in a gym next to my kindergarten and it was just what I needed at that time.(在过去，在接受治疗之前，我没有自信，孩子们在学校拿我的唇裂开玩笑。我四岁的时候就开始在幼儿园旁边的一个健身房练跆拳道训练，这正是我当时所需要的)”可知，作者在4岁时所学的始拳道课程帮她建立了信心。故选B。 4.词句猜测题。根据第六段“It changed me and the children around me —before, children played tricks on me, but later they respected me. Today, when people talk about something on my lip, I will tell them the little mark never bothers me because it is so small that it can hardly be seen.(它改变了我和我周围的孩子——以前孩子们对我开玩笑，但后来他们尊重我。今天，当人们谈论我嘴唇上的东西时，我会告诉他们这个小标记从来不会困扰我，因为它几乎看不见)”可知，something指代的是术后嘴唇上留下的小疤痕。故选D。 C According to the Solar Energy Industry Association, the number of solar panels installed(安装)has grown rapidly in the past decade, and it has to grow even faster to meet climate goals. But all of that growth will take up a lot of space, and though more and more people accept the concept of solar energy, few like large solar panels to be installed near them. Solar developers want to put up panels as quickly and cheaply as possible, so they haven’t given much thought to what they put under them. Often, they’ll end up filling the area with small stones and using chemicals to control weeds. The result is that many communities, especially in farming regions, see solar farms as destroyers of the soil. “Solar projects need to be good neighbors,” says Jordan Macknick, the head of the Innovative Site Preparation and Impact Reductions on the Environment(InSPIRE)project. “They need to be protectors of the land and contribute to the agricultural economy.” InSPIRE is investigating practical approaches to “low-impact” solar development, which focuses on establishing and operating solar farms in a way that is kinder to the land. One of the easiest low-impact solar strategies is providing habitat for pollinators(传粉昆虫). Habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change have caused dramatic declines in pollinator populations over the past couple of decades, which has damaged the U.S. agricultural economy. Over 28 states have passed laws related to pollinator habitat protection and pesticide use. Conservation organizations put out pollinator-friendliness guidelines for home gardens, businesses, schools, cities—and now there are guidelines for solar farms. Over the past few years, many solar farm developers have transformed the space under their solar panels into a shelter for various kinds of pollinators, resulting in soil improvement and carbon reduction. “These pollinator-friendly solar farms can have a valuable impact on everything that’s going on in the landscape,” says Macknick. 8. What do solar developers often ignore? A. The decline in the demand for solar energy. B. The negative impact of installing solar panels. C. The rising labor cost of building solar farms. D. The most recent advances in solar technology. 9. What does InSPIRE aim to do? A. Improve the productivity of local farms. B. Invent new methods for controlling weeds. C. Make solar projects environmentally friendly. D. Promote the use of solar energy in rural areas. 10. What is the purpose of the laws mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To conserve pollinators. B. To restrict solar development. C. To diversify the economy. D. To ensure the supply of energy. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Pollinators: To Leave or to Stay B. Solar Energy: Hope for the Future C. InSPIRE: A Leader in Agriculture D. Solar Farms: A New Development 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍的是用一种更加友好的方式建立一种新型的太阳能农场，这种新型的农场更有利于保护各种传粉昆虫，从而促进农业的发展。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Often, they’ll end up filling the area with small stones and using chemicals to control weeds. The result is that many communities, especially in farming regions, see solar farms as destroyers of the soil.(通常，他们最终会用小石头填满该地区，并使用化学物质来控制杂草。结果是，许多社区，特别是在农业地区，将太阳能农场视为土壤的破坏者。)”可知，太阳能开发者采用不环保的方式处理太阳能板安装后产生的问题，导致人们把太阳能农场看作是土壤的破坏者，由此可以推断，开发者在安装太阳能板后忽略了其带来的负面影响。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“InSPIRE is investigating practical approaches to “low-impact” solar development, which focuses on establishing and operating solar farms in a way that is kinder to the land.(InSPIRE正在研究“低影响”太阳能开发的实用方法，其重点是以对土地更友好的方式建立和运营太阳能农场。)”可知，InSPIRE采用有好的方式建立和运营太阳能农场，也就是使得太阳能农场更加环保。故选C项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Over 28 states have passed laws related to pollinator habitat protection and pesticide use.(超过28个州通过了与传粉媒介栖息地保护和农药使用有关的法律。)”可知，这些法律都是与保护传粉者栖息地和农药使用相关，所以这些法律的目的是保护授粉者。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的“Over the past few years, many solar farm developers have transformed the space under their solar panels into a shelter for various kinds of pollinators, resulting in soil improvement and carbon reduction.(在过去的几年里，许多太阳能农场开发商将太阳能电池板下的空间改造成各种传粉媒介的庇护所，从而改善了土壤并减少了碳排放。)”可知，现在的太阳能农场在过去的几年里已经得到了很大的发展，更重要的是太阳能农场也变得更加的环保，这将是未来发展农业的新趋势，再结合全文对太阳农场的发展过程的介绍可以判断，本文主题是介绍太阳能农场。故选D项。 【点睛】 D According to the Solar Energy Industry Association, the number of solar panels installed(安装)has grown rapidly in the past decade, and it has to grow even faster to meet climate goals.

Yet, within weeks or some months, these promises are off the table. Why? It’s not the date that matters. It’s the mindset that there is a perfect time to begin. Often, the search for the perfect time is about feeling ready. We tell ourselves we’ll start when we’re more motivated, better prepared, or less busy. ___18___ There will always be distractions, challenges, and reasons to delay. Trying to find the right moment is like looking for rain in a rainbow — the longer you waits, the farther it seems to get. The truth is there is no right time to initiate anything. As soon as you start something, that is the right time, and every second afterward is another chance for development. The moment you take action, you’re already ahead of where you were before, building confidence along the way. Start that exercise routine with a ten-minute walk. Begin studying by reading one chapter. ___19___ Perfect conditions aren’t necessary; progress is what matters. When you take action, you send a powerful message to yourself: your goals are worth it, and so are you. You’ll soon discover that each step opens doors to new opportunities, support, and growth. So if there’s a goal you’ve been putting off, stop waiting. Start today. Start now. ___20___ It’s this very moment, right here, right now. And as you move forward, you’ll find things fall into place as it’s meant to be. A. It’s best to wait for the perfect moment. B. New Year’s resolutions are a perfect example. C. Pursue your dreams by doing one small thing today. D. But life rarely provides a perfect set of circumstances. E. The perfect time for it isn’t some distant day in the future. F. You have to have it all figured out to start making progress. G. We often tell ourselves that tomorrow will be better than today. 【答案】16. G 17. B 18. D 19. C 20. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了关于等待“完美时机”去做重要事情的普遍心理，并通过分析指出实际上并不存在所谓的“完美时机”，鼓励人们立即采取行动，通过每一步的努力来追求自己的目标和梦想。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Have you ever experienced a situation in your life where you are waiting for a good time to do something very significant?(是否曾在生活中遇到过这样的情况：一直在等待一个绝佳时机，去做一件意义非凡的事？)”可知，上文询问是否有过等待合适时机做重要事情的经历。选项G“We often tell ourselves that tomorrow will be better than today.(我们常常告诉自己明天会比今天好)”进一步阐述了人们等待合适时机时的心理，符合语境。故选G。 【17题详解】 根据下文“It is a popular practice around the world, as many assume a good starting date is the ideal time for change. Yet, within weeks or some months, these promises are off the table. Why? It’s not the date that matters. It’s the mindset that there is a perfect time to begin.(这在世界各地都是一种普遍的做法，因为许多人认为一个好的起始日期是做出改变的理想时机。然而，几周或几个月内，这些决心就被抛诸脑后了。为什么呢？重要的并非日期，而是认为存在一个完美开端的这种心态)”中的“these promises are off the table”以及“a good starting date is the ideal time for change”，并结合常识，新年决心通常是人们在新的一年开始时许下的承诺，且新年是一个新的开始日期。选项B“New Year’s resolutions are a perfect example.(新年决心就是一个很好的例子)”符合语境，引出下文对这种等待合适时机开始做事却常失败的例子阐述。故选B。 【18题详解】 上文“Often, the search for the perfect time is about feeling ready. We tell ourselves we’ll start when we’re more motivated, better prepared, or less busy.(通常，寻找完美时机往往是为了让自己感觉 “准备好了”。我们会告诉自己，等更有动力、准备更充分或者没那么忙的时候就开始)”提到人们会找各种理由等待合适时机，如更有动力、准备更充分或不那么忙的时候；而后文指出“There will always be distractions, challenges, and reasons to delay.(总会有干扰因素、挑战以及拖延的理由)”生活中很难有完美的情况。选项D“But life rarely provides a perfect set of circumstances.(但生活很少提供完美的环境)”起到承上启下的作用，符合语境。故选D。 【19题详解】 上文“Start that exercise routine with a ten-minute walk. Begin studying by reading one chapter.(从十分钟的散步开始日常锻炼。从阅读一个章节开启学习之旅)”列举了开始行动的具体例子。选项C“Pursue your dreams by doing one small thing today.(通过今天做一件小事来追求你的梦想)”进一步强调通过做小事开始行动，与前文呼应。故选C。 【20题详解】 根据下文“It’s this very moment, right here, right now. And as you move forward, you’ll find things fall into place as it’s meant to be.(就是此时此刻，就在这里，就是现在。当你向前迈进时，你会发现一切都会自然而然地步入正轨)”可知，下文强调现在就是合适的时机。选项E“The perfect time for it isn’t some distant day in the future.(合适的时机不是未来某个遥远的日子)”与之相呼应，表明不要等待未来的完美时机，现在就行动。故选E。 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) When I was little, I spent much time at my grandfather’s house, watching him paint all day long.What I remember most was how he ___21___ painting old ships.

Samantha was in such a good mood at that moment, just like the white clouds in the blue sky, because as a nurse, she seldom had time to relax. “She was always on-duty and putting everybody first before herself.” Kieran said. Suddenly, terrible things happened. A loud crash came into her ear, followed by people screaming. A car crashed at the comer of West Broad Street and West End Drive in Henrico. The damaged car rolled round and round, and finally stopped at the side of a telephone pole. “Jesus!” passers-by stood there stunned. Seeing this, two police officers and a citizen soon rushed towards the car, positioning their body weight against the vehicle to keep it from moving. “Help! Help! The driver is bleeding heavily!” A man shouted anxiously. Samantha’s heart was in her mouth, and her professional ability sent her rushing to the scene of the accident, even if she didn’t know whether anyone was alive or not. Although she knew that pregnancy might cause trouble to her actions, she did not hesitate because she knew that every second could make a difference between life and death. 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。 Paragraph 1: Samantha hurried to the driver. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: An ambulance soon arrived and Samantha was rushed to the hospital. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 She hurried to the driver. Seeing that he was unconscious, she quickly checked his breathing and pulse and found that his heartbeat was weak. Immediately she started CPR, in the meantime shouting to passers-by to call emergency service. Absorbed in the first aid, sweat ran down her forehead. Suddenly, Samantha felt a sharp pain coming from her belly. Her face gradually turned pale, but she still gritted her teeth and carried on because she knew this driver needed her. After the driver’s condition got better, she finally sighed with relief. Exhaustion and pain in her belly made her fall down in a faint. The ambulance soon arrived and Samantha was rushed to hospital. Doctors quickly conducted a thorough examination and treatment to Samantha, after which both her and the baby were stabilized. A few days later, the driver’s family visited Samantha in her ward with a bunch of flowers, hugging her tightly to express their sincere gratitude. “It’s you that give him the chance to live.” Before leaving, They left a small gift—a handicraft with the inscription “To a nurse, a mother, and a brave woman.” At the sight of this, a mixture of warmth and relief flooded over Samantha. She knew that she had fulfilled her duty as a nurse with the right and worthwhile decision. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。讲述了怀有身孕的护士Samantha在与好友购物途中，偶遇车祸，Samantha奋不顾身，主动救治受伤司机的故事，Samantha的举动获得了司机一家的感谢，她也更加意识到自己作为医护人员的神圣职责。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“她匆匆走向司机。”可知，第一段可描写Samantha尽全力去救治司机，自己却由于过去劳累而晕厥的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“救护车很快就到了，Samantha被紧急送往医院。”可知，第二段可描写Samantha在医院接受治疗并收到那位司机一家的感谢。 2.续写线索：与好友逛街——偶遇车祸——主动施救——劳累过度——收到感谢——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①看见：see/find/spot ②摔倒：fall down/fall over/tumble down ③坚持，继续：carry on/go on/keep going 情绪类 ①感谢：gratitude/appreciation ②宽慰：relief/comfort 【点睛】[高分句型1] Seeing that he was unconscious, she quickly checked his breathing and pulse and found that his heartbeat was weak.（运用了现在分词作状语及that引导的宾语从句） [高分句型2]It’s you that give him the chance to live. （运用了it is...that的强调句型） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 陇南市宕昌县第一中学、宕昌县第二中学 2024——2025学年度第二学期三月联考试卷 高 一 英 语 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。核对条形码上的信息，并将条形码粘贴在答题卡指定区域。 2. 作答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔在答题卡上对应题目选项的答案信息点涂黑;如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案。答案不能答在试卷上。 3. 非选择题必须用黑色字迹的钢笔或签字笔作答，答案必须写在答题卡各题目指定区域内相应位置上;如需改动，先划掉原来的答案，然后再写上新答案;不准使用铅笔和涂改液。不按以上要求作答无效。 4. 考生必须保持答题卡的整洁。考试结束后，将答题卡交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 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．What does the woman want to drink?

But I was born with a cleft lip (唇裂). I don’t remember anything about my first years with my cleft lip. All I know is that when I was young, my parents found Fundación Gantz in Santiago, where I had been for free treatment. Every time when I went to Fundación Gantz, my heart was full of thanks to my parents. It was not easy to arrive on time for medical examination. We had to get up at six in the morning to drive for more than an hour and be careful not to get hit by other cars, but my parents never complained about such busy and tiring days. Doctors at Fundación Gantz helped me a lot. First, they healed my cleft lip. Then, with orthodontic treatment (正畸治疗), they managed to correct my bite, and later they performed an operation on my jawbone. I thank the doctors there who treated me, and Dr. Angus is my favorite — he has known me since I was born. When I was in the waiting room waiting for my operation on my jawbone, I was sweating all over in fear. Dr. Angus came to my side and talked to me endlessly about the things I was interested in, such as Kayros’ music and Bolano’s books, making me feel relaxed. In the past, before the treatment, I had no confidence, and children made jokes on my cleft lip at school. I started training in Taekwondo (跆拳道) at the age of four in a gym next to my kindergarten and it was just what I needed at that time. It changed me and the children around me — before, children played tricks on me, but later they respected me. Today, when people talk about something on my lip, I will tell them the little mark never bothers me because it is so small that it can hardly be seen. I want to tell the medical experts at Gantz to keep it up because their work is admirable, and they help a lot of people in need. 4. Which of the following can best describe the author’s parents? A. Selfless. B. Impatient. C. Fair. D. Outgoing. 5. How did Dr. Angus help the author reduce her fear of the operation? A. He read to her. B. He talked about interesting things with her. C. He played music for her. D. He changed her operation plan. 6. How did Taekwondo change the 4-year-old author? A. It made her school time colorful. B. It built her confidence. C. It improved her school performances. D. It prepared her for her future career. 7. What does the underlined word “something” refer to in paragraph 6? A. The color. B. The cost. C. The operation. D. The mark. C According to the Solar Energy Industry Association, the number of solar panels installed(安装)has grown rapidly in the past decade, and it has to grow even faster to meet climate goals. But all of that growth will take up a lot of space, and though more and more people accept the concept of solar energy, few like large solar panels to be installed near them. Solar developers want to put up panels as quickly and cheaply as possible, so they haven’t given much thought to what they put under them. Often, they’ll end up filling the area with small stones and using chemicals to control weeds. The result is that many communities, especially in farming regions, see solar farms as destroyers of the soil. “Solar projects need to be good neighbors,” says Jordan Macknick, the head of the Innovative Site Preparation and Impact Reductions on the Environment(InSPIRE)project. “They need to be protectors of the land and contribute to the agricultural economy.” InSPIRE is investigating practical approaches to “low-impact” solar development, which focuses on establishing and operating solar farms in a way that is kinder to the land. One of the easiest low-impact solar strategies is providing habitat for pollinators(传粉昆虫). Habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change have caused dramatic declines in pollinator populations over the past couple of decades, which has damaged the U.S. agricultural economy. Over 28 states have passed laws related to pollinator habitat protection and pesticide use. Conservation organizations put out pollinator-friendliness guidelines for home gardens, businesses, schools, cities—and now there are guidelines for solar farms. Over the past few years, many solar farm developers have transformed the space under their solar panels into a shelter for various kinds of pollinators, resulting in soil improvement and carbon reduction. “These pollinator-friendly solar farms can have a valuable impact on everything that’s going on in the landscape,” says Macknick. 8. What do solar developers often ignore? A. The decline in the demand for solar energy. B. The negative impact of installing solar panels. C. The rising labor cost of building solar farms. D. The most recent advances in solar technology. 9. What does InSPIRE aim to do? A. Improve the productivity of local farms. B. Invent new methods for controlling weeds. C. Make solar projects environmentally friendly. D. Promote the use of solar energy in rural areas. 10. What is the purpose of the laws mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To conserve pollinators. B. To restrict solar development. C. To diversify the economy. D. To ensure the supply of energy. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Pollinators: To Leave or to Stay B. Solar Energy: Hope for the Future C. InSPIRE: A Leader in Agriculture D. Solar Farms: A New Development D According to the Solar Energy Industry Association, the number of solar panels installed(安装)has grown rapidly in the past decade, and it has to grow even faster to meet climate goals. But all of that growth will take up a lot of space, and though more and more people accept the concept of solar energy, few like large solar panels to be installed near them.

The result is that many communities, especially in farming regions, see solar farms as destroyers of the soil. “Solar projects need to be good neighbors,” says Jordan Macknick, the head of the Innovative Site Preparation and Impact Reductions on the Environment(InSPIRE)project. “They need to be protectors of the land and contribute to the agricultural economy.” InSPIRE is investigating practical approaches to “low-impact” solar development, which focuses on establishing and operating solar farms in a way that is kinder to the land. One of the easiest low-impact solar strategies is providing habitat for pollinators(传粉昆虫). Habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change have caused dramatic declines in pollinator populations over the past couple of decades, which has damaged the U.S. agricultural economy. Over 28 states have passed laws related to pollinator habitat protection and pesticide use. Conservation organizations put out pollinator-friendliness guidelines for home gardens, businesses, schools, cities—and now there are guidelines for solar farms. Over the past few years, many solar farm developers have transformed the space under their solar panels into a shelter for various kinds of pollinators, resulting in soil improvement and carbon reduction. “These pollinator-friendly solar farms can have a valuable impact on everything that’s going on in the landscape,” says Macknick. 12. What do solar developers often ignore? A. The decline in the demand for solar energy. B. The negative impact of installing solar panels. C. The rising labor cost of building solar farms. D. The most recent advances in solar technology. 13. What does InSPIRE aim to do? A. Improve the productivity of local farms. B. Invent new methods for controlling weeds. C. Make solar projects environmentally friendly. D. Promote the use of solar energy in rural areas. 14. What is the purpose of the laws mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To conserve pollinators. B. To restrict solar development. C. To diversify the economy. D. To ensure the supply of energy. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Pollinators: To Leave or to Stay B. Solar Energy: Hope for the Future C. InSPIRE: A Leader in Agriculture D. Solar Farms: A New Development 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。 Have you ever experienced a situation in your life where you are waiting for a good time to do something very significant? ___16___ In reality, however, waiting for the right time can often mean waiting forever. ___17___ It is a popular practice around the world, as many assume a good starting date is the ideal time for change. Yet, within weeks or some months, these promises are off the table. Why? It’s not the date that matters. It’s the mindset that there is a perfect time to begin. Often, the search for the perfect time is about feeling ready. We tell ourselves we’ll start when we’re more motivated, better prepared, or less busy. ___18___ There will always be distractions, challenges, and reasons to delay. Trying to find the right moment is like looking for rain in a rainbow — the longer you waits, the farther it seems to get. The truth is there is no right time to initiate anything. As soon as you start something, that is the right time, and every second afterward is another chance for development. The moment you take action, you’re already ahead of where you were before, building confidence along the way. Start that exercise routine with a ten-minute walk. Begin studying by reading one chapter. ___19___ Perfect conditions aren’t necessary; progress is what matters. When you take action, you send a powerful message to yourself: your goals are worth it, and so are you. You’ll soon discover that each step opens doors to new opportunities, support, and growth. So if there’s a goal you’ve been putting off, stop waiting. Start today. Start now. ___20___ It’s this very moment, right here, right now. And as you move forward, you’ll find things fall into place as it’s meant to be. A. It’s best to wait for the perfect moment. B. New Year’s resolutions are a perfect example. C Pursue your dreams by doing one small thing today. D. But life rarely provides a perfect set of circumstances. E. The perfect time for it isn’t some distant day in the future. F. You have to have it all figured out to start making progress. G. We often tell ourselves that tomorrow will be better than today. 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) When I was little, I spent much time at my grandfather’s house, watching him paint all day long.What I remember most was how he ___21___ painting old ships.

Samantha was in such a good mood at that moment, just like the white clouds in the blue sky, because as a nurse, she seldom had time to relax. “She was always on-duty and putting everybody first before herself.” Kieran said. Suddenly, terrible things happened. A loud crash came into her ear, followed by people screaming. A car crashed at the comer of West Broad Street and West End Drive in Henrico. The damaged car rolled round and round, and finally stopped at the side of a telephone pole. “Jesus!” passers-by stood there stunned. Seeing this, two police officers and a citizen soon rushed towards the car, positioning their body weight against the vehicle to keep it from moving. “Help! Help! The driver is bleeding heavily!” A man shouted anxiously. Samantha’s heart was in her mouth, and her professional ability sent her rushing to the scene of the accident, even if she didn’t know whether anyone was alive or not. Although she knew that pregnancy might cause trouble to her actions, she did not hesitate because she knew that every second could make a difference between life and death. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Samantha hurried to the driver. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: An ambulance soon arrived and Samantha was rushed to the hospital. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
