Over many centuries, Chinese artists have created paintings that are now in the hearts of more than a billion people. Nymph of the Luo River—Gu Kaizhi The legend has it that Cao Zhi, a prince of the state of Cao Wei, fell in love with the governor’s daughter. However, she married his brother, Cao Pi, and the prince became upset. Later, he composed an emotional poem about the love between the goddess and common people. In the 4th century, Gu Kaizhi, a Chinese artist, was moved by the story and illustrated the poem. Court Ladies Adorning Their Hair with Flowers—Zhou Fang During the Tang Dynasty, China had a prosperous economy and flourishing culture. In this period, the genre of “beautiful women painting” enjoyed popularity. Coming from a noble background, Zhou Fang, a Chinese artist, created artworks in this genre. In his painting, the ladies stand as though they are fashion models, but one of them is entertaining herself by teasing a cute dog. Along the River During the Qingming Festival—Zhang Zeduan Zhang Zeduan depicted the landscape in his work Along the River During the Qingming Festival. However, instead of concentrating on the vastness of nature, he captured the daily life of the people of Bianjing, present-day Kaifeng. His work shows much about life in the Northern Song Dynasty. A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains—Wang Ximeng Not only did officials and scholars enjoy listening to music, but they also found pleasure in depicting nature. One such painter was Wang Ximeng. He was a prodigy. Wang Ximeng painted A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains when he was only seventeen years old. He died several years later, but he left one of the largest and most beautiful paintings in Chinese history. 21. Where do you think this passage is taken from? A. A novel. B. A travel journal. C.

Court Ladies Adorning Their Hair with Flowers—Zhou Fang. D. Along the River During the Qingming Festival—Zhang Zeduan. B Winning the 2023 Academy Award for Best Actress, Michelle Yeoh becomes the first Asian woman to take home a lead acting statue. She was invited to share some wisdom at the graduation ceremony in the American Film Institute. Michelle Yeoh recalled her early years. She found her gift was to communicate through movement Yeoh trained tirelessly day and night. Dance was her bright future and destined path. Unfortunately, life had other plans. A serious spinal(脊柱的) injury entirely tore her dream, and she was in despair. Yet, her principal encouraged her to stay loose about her future. With this in mind, she captured the freedom to make choices she might not have otherwise been able to.“When the challenge came, I knew it was make-or-break time,” Yeoh said. Yeoh chose to be a cool stuntwoman(特技表演者). “The first thing they taught me was to roll forward, how to fall on my side, and then back,” she recalled. The actress mentioned jumping off a 20-foot highway overpass for one stunt, in which she over-rotated(过度旋转), causing her back to fold in half and a stunt went wrong. “I didn't land properly, but I completed the scene,” she said. “There were injuries as you can imagine but with every inch of skin, I came back better and braver. It struck me that learning how to fall teaches you how to land, and learning to land gives you the courage to jump higher. Well, you could say I learned it in my bones, literally,” Yeoh added. It was not the unbearable pain but desired progress that guided Yeoh to the Oscar stage. “What I want to say is that our falls are the secret to our flight. Success without failure is called luck. It cannot really be repeated or relied upon. Don't be afraid to fall, for you are learning to fly,” Yeoh said. 24. What do we know about Michelle Yeoh? A. She was keen on ballet and had a bright future. B. She was in despair after a serious injury to her leg. C. She was the first Asian to win the Academy Award for Best Actress. D. She was giving a speech about her school experience. 25. How did the principal's encouragement prove beneficial? A. It advised Michelle Yeoh to accept the reality and let it be. B. It inspired Michelle Yeoh to be open-minded towards the future. C. It reminded Michelle Yeoh to stick to her dream and go for it. D. It urged Michelle Yeoh to transfer her career from dance to the stunt. 26. Why did Michelle Yeoh mention “jumping off a 20-foot highway overpass”? A. To pave the way for the life lesson she would learn. B. To stress the importance of mastering the rolling skills. C. To showcase the barriers she faced when dancing on stage. D. To admit a mistake she made when she was inexperienced. 27. Which of the following statements matches Michelle Yeoh's spirit the most? A. Do what the clock does. Keep going. B. Believe you can and you're halfway there. C. No one can disappoint you except yourself. D. The greatest glory lies in rising every time we fall. C Normally museums exhibit only a small part of their collections, but the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam is the first in the world to display the whole lot. Housed in a huge mirrored, bowl-shaped depot (仓库) attached to the museum in the Dutch port city, its collection of 151,000 artworks by artists including Vincent van Gogh and Oscar-Claude Monet will be accessible to visitors from Saturday. “It is the only fully accessible public depot that is open in the world,” museum director Sjarel Ex told AFP as the media toured the building on Tuesday ahead of the opening. “What happens here is that you do not follow the script that was written by a curator. You see things by accident, and you feel that you are discovering things.” “Normally, only some 6 to 10 percent of collections at major museums around the world like the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen are on display, and the rest are kept in closed storage depots,” said Ex. That will now change for the Rotterdam institution. Visitors will even be able to watch works being restored. “If you do not show the works, people will stop talking about and thinking about an artwork. As a result, it is very likely that it is into oblivion — out of sight,” he said. The project whose cost was around 92 million euros has mainly been covered by private donations, featuring five different temperature zones for different types of artworks. The depot was originally created to solve a very serious problem — the possibility of flooding in a low-lying country where a third of the land sits below sea level. The old basement below the museum was likely to let in water, making it unsuitable for storage. “Every building is a moment in time, so this celebrates for sure the climate,” said its architect, Winy Maas. “Why? Because it’s the reason for the existence of this building — the former archives were under water. It was flooding, so we have to bring it up.” 28. What makes the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen special? A. It lies on a site below sea level. B. Most of its collections are donations. C. It has the most collections in the world. D. It is the world’s first museum to exhibit all collections. 29. What do we know from Sjarel Ex’s words? A. Collections are not supposed to be shown. B. The curator guides visitors around the museum. C. Visitors can discover the collections in person. D. The depot is just open to the public occasionally. 30. What does the underlined word “oblivion” mean in paragraph 4? A. Being forgotten. B. Being preserved. C. Being memorized. D. Being honored. 31. What is the best title for the text? A. Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen Held Its First Exhibition B. A Museum Opens Its Entire Art Collections in the Globe First C. A Dutch Museum Was Rebuilt After Being Damaged by Flood D. Major Museums in the World Will Display the Whole Collections D Environmental pollution and other human activities are leading to thousands of deaths among seabirds, a new study has warned. Ecological experts tracked the behavior of British and Irish seabirds. They used satellites to track hundreds of the creatures to find out where they went to catch fish in the sea. The study can help assess the potential impact of human activities and where protected areas of the sea should be. More than 1,300 adult birds from 29 different colonies around the UK and Ireland were researched, including kittiwakes, shags, razorbills and guillemots. Results from the five-year study showed the large areas of the sea the four seabird species use. They found that it was at least 600,000 square miles, an area three times the size of Spain. It showed how far they travelled from their nests in search of food for their chicks. And it showed the use of the sea by all four species concentrated in the coastal waters of Scotland, highlighting the importance of conservation measures there. The four species studied require conservation help, with kittiwake numbers declining by 71 percent in the past 25 years and shag populations down by 61 percent. This means both seabirds are “red-listed” and need urgent protection. Razorbills and guillemots are “amber-listed”, which means they are considered to need conservation action. Dr. Ewan, lead author of the research, said, “Many seabirds are at the top of the marine food web. They feed on some small fish but that prey (猎物) is declining because of human pressure, including climate change. The result is that thousands of baby seabirds are dying each year because their parents can’t feed them. For the first time, this study provides us with a full map of the feeding areas for some of our most important seabird species.” “The analysis provides critical data to inform marine management,” the experts said. 32. How did the experts track the seabirds? A. With the help of satellites. B. With the help of the fishermen. C. By observing human activities. D. By feeding the seabirds. 33. Which is one of the purposes of the study? A. To find out where to catch more fish. B. To judge which areas of the sea should be protected. C. To know the seabirds’ impacts on human beings. D. To study the behavior of British and Irish seabirds. 34. On which country’s coast would most tracked seabirds gather? A. France. B. Ireland. C. Spain. D. Scotland. 35. What’s Dr. Ewan’s attitude towards the research? A. Puzzled. B. Doubtful. C. Positive. D. Disappointed. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分) “Exercise snack” does good. Health experts used to say you needed to exercise for at least ten minutes at a time to gain any benefits. ____36____That’s why the WHO’s Guidelines on Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior no longer recommends a minimum time for an exercise session. Meanwhile, scientists have adopted the term “exercise snack” to refer to bursts of physical activity that take little time. ____37____ It’s still ideal to get longer exercise sessions regularly, but you’ll benefit from any amount that you can fit into your day. ____38____ Lifting your voice in a choir (合唱团) has cognitive (认知的) benefits, according to a Finnish study published in Plos One. The study found that elderly singers had better verbal fluency compared to non-singers. This makes sense, since it’s a hobby that requires attention, information processing, linguistic output, learning and memory. Parkinson’s patients should hit the links. ____39____ But many patients lack the motivation. In an effort to identify a physical activity that’s beneficial, research presented at the American Academy of Neurology compared tai chi — which is known to greatly improve balance and prevent falls — to golf, a favourite sport of many people over 55. ____40____ Just as importantly, 86 per cent of golfers said they were “definitely” likely to continue the activity after the study’s end, compared to 33 per cent of the tai chi group. A. Choir singing boosts the brain. B. Developing hobbies improves memory. C. Short bursts of exercise will benefit the health in the short term. D. However, evidence has shown that anything is better than nothing. E. The patients playing golf saw their balance and walking ability improve. F. Exercise is one of the most powerful treatments for people with Parkinson’s disease. G. Examples include a few push-ups, 60 seconds on an bike, or a jog up a flight of stairs. 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。 In the early hours of March 23, about 12 hours before our treasured 12-year-old son died of a rare form of brain cancer, I climbed into his hospital bed, ____41____ him in my arms and recited Lewis Carroll’s Jabberwocky.

The once pleasant surroundings were ruined by piles of waste that seemed to multiply with each passing day. Residents were growing tired of the worsening environment, leading many to abandon their homes in search of cleaner neighborhoods. It was in this terrible situation that two young students, Emma and Mia, decided to take matters into their own hands. Emma and Mia were classmates and best friends from Phillips Exeter Academy, both passionate about environmental preservation and deeply concerned about the pollution crisis their community was facing. Witnessing more and more neighbors’ leaving, they knew they couldn’t stand by any longer. Determined to bring about a change, they undertook a mission that would soon catch the attention of the entire community. Their journey began with thorough research and planning. The two girls searched carefully on the Internet for information on environmental initiatives and connected with local environmentalists. They organized meetings with residents to understand the issues at hand, collecting data on the types of waste, the sources, and the areas most affected. Armed with this knowledge, Emma and Mia worked out a comprehensive plan and announced it to ask for opinions from the residents. Surprisingly it was strongly supported. Their strategy was twofold. First, they initiated a waste classification and recycling program. They distributed recycling bins(回收箱) to every household and educated the community about the importance of responsible waste management. Soon, the streets began to show signs of improvement as the volume of garbage inappropriately thrown away decreased gradually. The second part of their plan was more ambitious. Emma and Mia gathered volunteers from their school and the neighborhood to take part in a massive clean-up campaign. Armed with gloves and trash(垃圾)bags, they began systematically clearing the waste from the streets, parks, and even the local bodies of water. Their firm commitment and hard work inspired others to join the cause. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式作答。 Half a year later, the changes were significant. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Emma and Mia received recognition and honors for their work. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高二年级英语试题 考生须知： 1.本卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟; 第一部分 听力 (共两节，满分30分) 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 color is the woman’s hair now?

What is the disadvantage of old alarm systems? A. They were difficult to install. B. They would cause power failures. C. They were expensive but unreliable. 19. What happens when a smart camera doesn’t recognize someone? A. It ignores the person. B. It takes a photo of the person. C. It contacts you or the authorities. 20. What is the speaker mainly talking about? A. Pet care. B. Home security. C. Camera technology. 【答案】18. C 19. C 20. B 【解析】 【原文】 Home security is becoming one of the fastest growing technology markets. Previously, home owners had to get expensive alarms. These systems could not be relied upon, and would even be set off if there was a power cut. Nowadays, with advancements in technology, it is easy to add extra protection to your home at affordable prices. Companies like Nest and Ring have released doorbells that also have a camera. The main selling point of these devices is that when someone rings your doorbell, you can choose to answer via your phone, even if you’re not in the house. This can drive away thieves as they believe the house is occupied. It also takes photos of people in your house. Some cameras come with face recognition software so that if it doesn’t recognize someone, it will inform you or the authorities. So-called “smart homes” allow you to control and monitor your home from your smart phone or tablet. You are able to turn the lights on and off while in another country, making it appear occupied. You can also monitor smart security cameras that can sit in your home, or outside on your walls. These also allow you to monitor your pets and children, keeping your loved ones under your watchful eyes. 第二部分　阅读(共两节,满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A FAMOUS CHINESE PAINTINGS, ARTISTIC TREASURES With thousands of years of continuous history, China is one of the most culturally unique nations. Over many centuries, Chinese artists have created paintings that are now in the hearts of more than a billion people. Nymph of the Luo River—Gu Kaizhi The legend has it that Cao Zhi, a prince of the state of Cao Wei, fell in love with the governor’s daughter. However, she married his brother, Cao Pi, and the prince became upset. Later, he composed an emotional poem about the love between the goddess and common people. In the 4th century, Gu Kaizhi, a Chinese artist, was moved by the story and illustrated the poem. Court Ladies Adorning Their Hair with Flowers—Zhou Fang During the Tang Dynasty, China had a prosperous economy and flourishing culture. In this period, the genre of “beautiful women painting” enjoyed popularity. Coming from a noble background, Zhou Fang, a Chinese artist, created artworks in this genre. In his painting, the ladies stand as though they are fashion models, but one of them is entertaining herself by teasing a cute dog. Along the River During the Qingming Festival—Zhang Zeduan Zhang Zeduan depicted the landscape in his work Along the River During the Qingming Festival. However, instead of concentrating on the vastness of nature, he captured the daily life of the people of Bianjing, present-day Kaifeng. His work shows much about life in the Northern Song Dynasty. A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains—Wang Ximeng Not only did officials and scholars enjoy listening to music, but they also found pleasure in depicting nature. One such painter was Wang Ximeng. He was a prodigy. Wang Ximeng painted A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains when he was only seventeen years old. He died several years later, but he left one of the largest and most beautiful paintings in Chinese history. 21. Where do you think this passage is taken from? A. A novel. B. A travel journal. C. A magazine. D. A book review. 22. What can we learn from this passage? A. Wang Ximeng created his masterpiece in his teens. B. Nymph of the Luo River is a poem written by Cao Zhi. C. Zhou Fang painted fashion models in his painting. D. Zhang Zeduan’s painting describes daily life of officials. 23. Which is your best choice if you want to enjoy a painting with the beauty of nature? A. Nymph of the Luo River—Gu Kaizhi. B. A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains—Wang Ximeng. C. Court Ladies Adorning Their Hair with Flowers—Zhou Fang. D. Along the River During the Qingming Festival—Zhang Zeduan. 【答案】21. C 22. A 23. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四幅中国知名画家的作品。 【21题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“With thousands of years of continuous history, China is one of the most culturally unique nations. Over many centuries, Chinese artists have created paintings that are now in the hearts of more than a billion people.(中国拥有数千年的连续历史，是世界上文化最独特的国家之一。几个世纪以来，中国艺术家创作的绘画作品如今在10亿多人心中流传。)”以及全文内容可知文章主要讲的是中国艺术家创作的绘画作品，所以文章最有可能出自一本和艺术相关的杂志。故选C项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章Nymph of the Luo River—Gu Kaizhi部分的“Later, Cao Zhi composed an emotional poem about the love between the goddess and common people.In the 4th century, Gu Kaizhi, a Chinese artist, was moved by the story and illustrated the poem.(后来，曹植写了一首关于女神和普通人之间爱情的感人的诗。公元4世纪，中国艺术家顾恺之被这个故事所感动，并为这首诗配了插图。)”可知Nymph of the Luo River实际上是由顾恺之根据曹植的《洛神赋》所配的一幅画，所以B不对；根据Court Ladies Adorning Their Hair with Flowers—Zhou Fang部分的“In his painting, the ladies stand as though they are fashion models, but one of them is entertaining herself by teasing a cute dog.(在他的画中，女士们站在那里，就像时装模特一样，但其中一人正在逗弄一只可爱的狗。)”可知Zhou Fang的画里面画的并不是时装模特，所以C不正确；根据Along the River During the Qingming Festival—Zhang Zeduan部分的“he captured the daily life of the people of Bianjing, present-day Kaifeng.(他描绘了汴京(今开封)人民的日常生活。)”可知Zhang Zeduan在《清明上河图》里面描述的并不是官员们的生活，而是普通老百姓的日常生活，所以D项不对；根据A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains—Wang Ximeng部分的“Wang Ximeng painted A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains when he was only seventeen years old. (王希孟十七岁时就画了《千里江山图》。)”，可知王希孟在十几岁时就完成了他的大作，所以A正确。故选A项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains—Wang Ximeng部分的“Not only did officials and scholars enjoy listening to music, but they also found pleasure in depicting nature.(官员和学者不仅喜欢听音乐，他们也从描绘自然中找到乐趣。)”可知A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains—Wang Ximeng可以让官员们享受到大自然的美景，所以如果你想欣赏大自然的美景，可以选择这幅画。故选B项。 B Winning the 2023 Academy Award for Best Actress, Michelle Yeoh becomes the first Asian woman to take home a lead acting statue. She was invited to share some wisdom at the graduation ceremony in the American Film Institute. Michelle Yeoh recalled her early years. She found her gift was to communicate through movement Yeoh trained tirelessly day and night. Dance was her bright future and destined path. Unfortunately, life had other plans. A serious spinal(脊柱的) injury entirely tore her dream, and she was in despair. Yet, her principal encouraged her to stay loose about her future. With this in mind, she captured the freedom to make choices she might not have otherwise been able to.“When the challenge came, I knew it was make-or-break time,” Yeoh said. Yeoh chose to be a cool stuntwoman(特技表演者). “The first thing they taught me was to roll forward, how to fall on my side, and then back,” she recalled. The actress mentioned jumping off a 20-foot highway overpass for one stunt, in which she over-rotated(过度旋转), causing her back to fold in half and a stunt went wrong. “I didn't land properly, but I completed the scene,” she said. “There were injuries as you can imagine but with every inch of skin, I came back better and braver. It struck me that learning how to fall teaches you how to land, and learning to land gives you the courage to jump higher. Well, you could say I learned it in my bones, literally,” Yeoh added. It was not the unbearable pain but desired progress that guided Yeoh to the Oscar stage. “What I want to say is that our falls are the secret to our flight. Success without failure is called luck. It cannot really be repeated or relied upon. Don't be afraid to fall, for you are learning to fly,” Yeoh said. 24. What do we know about Michelle Yeoh? A. She was keen on ballet and had a bright future. B. She was in despair after a serious injury to her leg. C. She was the first Asian to win the Academy Award for Best Actress. D. She was giving a speech about her school experience. 25. How did the principal's encouragement prove beneficial? A. It advised Michelle Yeoh to accept the reality and let it be. B. It inspired Michelle Yeoh to be open-minded towards the future. C. It reminded Michelle Yeoh to stick to her dream and go for it. D. It urged Michelle Yeoh to transfer her career from dance to the stunt. 26. Why did Michelle Yeoh mention “jumping off a 20-foot highway overpass”? A To pave the way for the life lesson she would learn. B. To stress the importance of mastering the rolling skills. C. To showcase the barriers she faced when dancing on stage. D. To admit a mistake she made when she was inexperienced. 27. Which of the following statements matches Michelle Yeoh's spirit the most? A. Do what the clock does. Keep going. B. Believe you can and you're halfway there. C. No one can disappoint you except yourself. D. The greatest glory lies in rising every time we fall. 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. A 27. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述杨紫琼获得2023年奥斯卡最佳女主角奖，成为首位将主角奖带回家的亚洲女性并讲述她成功背后的故事。 24题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第一段“Winning the 2023 Oscar Best Actress Award, Michelle Yeoh becomes the first Asian woman to take home a lead acting statue. (杨紫琼获得2023年奥斯卡最佳女主角奖，成为首位将主角奖带回家的亚洲女性)”可知，杨紫琼是第一个获得奥斯卡最佳女主角奖的亚洲人。故选C项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段“Dance was her bright future and destined path. Unfortunately, life had other plans. A serious spinal (脊柱的) injury entirely tore her dream, and she was in despair. Yet, her principal encouraged her to stay loose about her future. With this in mind, she captured the freedom to make choices she might not have otherwise been able to. (舞蹈是她光明的前途和注定的道路。不幸的是，生活另有安排。一次严重的脊椎损伤彻底撕裂了她的梦想，她陷入了绝望。然而，她的校长鼓励她对自己的未来保持乐观。考虑到这一点，她获得了做出选择的自由，否则她可能无法做出选择)”可知，校长的鼓励激发了杨紫琼对未来的开放态度。故选B项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第四段“There were injuries as you can imagine but with every inch of skin, I came back better and braver. It struck me that learning how to fall teaches you how to land, and learning to land gives you the courage to jump higher. Well, you could say I learned it in my bones, literally(你可以想象，虽然有伤病，但我的每一寸皮肤都变得更好、更勇敢了。我突然想到，学会如何摔倒会教会你如何着陆，学会着陆会给你跳得更高的勇气。好吧，你可以说我是从骨子里学到的)”可推知，杨紫琼举例从20英尺高的高速公路立交桥上跳下是为了她下面要讲她所学的人生课程作铺垫。故选A项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段“What I want to say is that our falls are the secrets to our flight. Success without failure is called luck. It cannot really be repeated or relied upon. Don’t be afraid to fall, for you are learning to fly.(我想说的是，我们的坠落是我们飞行的秘密。没有失败的成功叫做运气。它真的不能重复或依赖。不要害怕跌倒，因为你正在学习飞行)”可知，杨紫琼认为只有在不断地跌倒后站起来，才会走向成功。由此推知，D项“最大的荣耀在于每次跌倒都能站起来”符合语境。故选D项。 C Normally museums exhibit only a small part of their collections, but the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam is the first in the world to display the whole lot. Housed in a huge mirrored, bowl-shaped depot (仓库) attached to the museum in the Dutch port city, its collection of 151,000 artworks by artists including Vincent van Gogh and Oscar-Claude Monet will be accessible to visitors from Saturday. “It is the only fully accessible public depot that is open in the world,” museum director Sjarel Ex told AFP as the media toured the building on Tuesday ahead of the opening. “What happens here is that you do not follow the script that was written by a curator. You see things by accident, and you feel that you are discovering things.” “Normally, only some 6 to 10 percent of collections at major museums around the world like the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen are on display, and the rest are kept in closed storage depots,” said Ex. That will now change for the Rotterdam institution. Visitors will even be able to watch works being restored. “If you do not show the works, people will stop talking about and thinking about an artwork. As a result, it is very likely that it is into oblivion — out of sight,” he said. The project whose cost was around 92 million euros has mainly been covered by private donations, featuring five different temperature zones for different types of artworks. The depot was originally created to solve a very serious problem — the possibility of flooding in a low-lying country where a third of the land sits below sea level. The old basement below the museum was likely to let in water, making it unsuitable for storage. “Every building is a moment in time, so this celebrates for sure the climate,” said its architect, Winy Maas. “Why? Because it’s the reason for the existence of this building — the former archives were under water. It was flooding, so we have to bring it up.” 28. What makes the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen special? A. It lies on a site below sea level. B. Most of its collections are donations. C. It has the most collections in the world. D. It is the world’s first museum to exhibit all collections. 29. What do we know from Sjarel Ex’s words? A. Collections are not supposed to be shown. B. The curator guides visitors around the museum. C. Visitors can discover the collections in person. D. The depot is just open to the public occasionally. 30. What does the underlined word “oblivion” mean in paragraph 4? A. Being forgotten. B. Being preserved. C. Being memorized. D. Being honored. 31. What is the best title for the text? A. Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen Held Its First Exhibition B. A Museum Opens Its Entire Art Collections in the Globe First C. A Dutch Museum Was Rebuilt After Being Damaged by Flood D. Major Museums in the World Will Display the Whole Collections 【答案】28. D 29. C 30. A 31. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。主要说明了鹿特丹博伊曼斯·范伯宁恩美术馆是世界上第一个展出全部藏品的画廊，文章介绍了该博物馆的一些情况以及博物馆进行这一举措的原因。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Normally museums exhibit only a small part of their collections, but the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam is the first in the world to display the whole lot.(通常情况下，博物馆只展出其藏品中的一小部分，但鹿特丹的博伊曼斯·范伯宁恩美术馆是世界上首个展出全部藏品的博物馆。)”可知，博伊曼斯·范伯宁恩美术馆是世界上第一个展出所有收藏品的博物馆，所以很特别。故选D。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“You see things by accident, and you feel that you are discovering things.(你偶然看到了一些东西，你觉得你在发现一些东西。)”可知，参观者可以亲自发现藏品。故选C。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“If you do not show the works, people will stop talking about and thinking about an artwork.(如果你不展示作品，人们就会停止谈论和思考一件艺术品。)”以及后文“out of sight(看不见)”可知，如果你不展示作品，人们就会停止谈论和思考一件艺术品。因此，它很有可能被遗忘——消失在人们的视线之外，故画线词意思是“被遗忘”，和Being forgotten意思相近。故选A。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Normally museums exhibit only a small part of their collections, but the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam is the first in the world to display the whole lot.(通常情况下，博物馆只展出其藏品中的一小部分，但鹿特丹的博伊曼斯·范伯宁恩美术馆是世界上首个展出全部藏品的博物馆。)”可知，本文主要说明了鹿特丹的博伊曼斯·范伯宁恩美术馆是世界上第一个展出全部藏品的画廊，文章介绍了该博物馆的一些情况以及博物馆进行这一举措的原因，因此最好的题目是B选项“A Museum Opens Its Entire Art Collections in the Globe First(一家博物馆在全球首次公开其全部艺术收藏品)”。故选B。 D Environmental pollution and other human activities are leading to thousands of deaths among seabirds, a new study has warned. Ecological experts tracked the behavior of British and Irish seabirds. They used satellites to track hundreds of the creatures to find out where they went to catch fish in the sea. The study can help assess the potential impact of human activities and where protected areas of the sea should be. More than 1,300 adult birds from 29 different colonies around the UK and Ireland were researched, including kittiwakes, shags, razorbills and guillemots. Results from the five-year study showed the large areas of the sea the four seabird species use. They found that it was at least 600,000 square miles, an area three times the size of Spain. It showed how far they travelled from their nests in search of food for their chicks. And it showed the use of the sea by all four species concentrated in the coastal waters of Scotland, highlighting the importance of conservation measures there. The four species studied require conservation help, with kittiwake numbers declining by 71 percent in the past 25 years and shag populations down by 61 percent. This means both seabirds are “red-listed” and need urgent protection. Razorbills and guillemots are “amber-listed”, which means they are considered to need conservation action. Dr. Ewan, lead author of the research, said, “Many seabirds are at the top of the marine food web. They feed on some small fish but that prey (猎物) is declining because of human pressure, including climate change. The result is that thousands of baby seabirds are dying each year because their parents can’t feed them. For the first time, this study provides us with a full map of the feeding areas for some of our most important seabird species.” “The analysis provides critical data to inform marine management,” the experts said. 32. How did the experts track the seabirds? A. With the help of satellites. B. With the help of the fishermen. C. By observing human activities. D. By feeding the seabirds. 33. Which is one of the purposes of the study? A. To find out where to catch more fish. B. To judge which areas of the sea should be protected. C. To know the seabirds’ impacts on human beings. D. To study the behavior of British and Irish seabirds. 34. On which country’s coast would most tracked seabirds gather? A. France. B. Ireland. C. Spain. D. Scotland. 35. What’s Dr. Ewan’s attitude towards the research? A. Puzzled. B. Doubtful. C. Positive. D. Disappointed. 【答案】32. A 33. B 34. D 35. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了一项新的研究警告说，环境污染和其他人类活动正在导致成千上万的海鸟死亡。解释了研究开展的经过以及发现。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Ecological experts tracked the behavior of British and Irish seabirds. They used satellites to track hundreds of the creatures to find out where they went to catch fish in the sea.(生态专家追踪了英国和爱尔兰海鸟的行为。他们用卫星追踪了数百只这种生物，以找出它们去海里捕鱼的地方)”可知，专家们在卫星的帮助下追踪海鸟。故选A。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The study can help assess the potential impact of human activities and where protected areas of the sea should be.(这项研究可以帮助评估人类活动的潜在影响，以及海洋保护区的位置)”可知，这项研究的目的之一是判断哪些海域应该受到保护。故选B。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“And it showed the use of the sea by all four species concentrated in the coastal waters of Scotland, highlighting the importance of conservation measures there.(它显示了所有四种物种对海洋的利用都集中在苏格兰的沿海水域，突出了保护措施的重要性)”可知，大多数被追踪的海鸟会聚集在苏格兰的海岸。故选D。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中Dr. Ewan所说的“For the first time, this study provides us with a full map of the feeding areas for some of our most important seabird species.(这项研究首次为我们提供了一些最重要的海鸟物种觅食区域的完整地图)”可推知，Ewan博士对这项研究持积极的态度。故选C。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分) “Exercise snack” does good. Health experts used to say you needed to exercise for at least ten minutes at a time to gain any benefits. ____36____That’s why the WHO’s Guidelines on Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior no longer recommends a minimum time for an exercise session. Meanwhile, scientists have adopted the term “exercise snack” to refer to bursts of physical activity that take little time. ____37____ It’s still ideal to get longer exercise sessions regularly, but you’ll benefit from any amount that you can fit into your day. ____38____ Lifting your voice in a choir (合唱团) has cognitive (认知的) benefits, according to a Finnish study published in Plos One. The study found that elderly singers had better verbal fluency compared to non-singers. This makes sense, since it’s a hobby that requires attention, information processing, linguistic output, learning and memory. Parkinson’s patients should hit the links. ____39____ But many patients lack the motivation. In an effort to identify a physical activity that’s beneficial, research presented at the American Academy of Neurology compared tai chi — which is known to greatly improve balance and prevent falls — to golf, a favourite sport of many people over 55. ____40____ Just as importantly, 86 per cent of golfers said they were “definitely” likely to continue the activity after the study’s end, compared to 33 per cent of the tai chi group. A. Choir singing boosts the brain. B. Developing hobbies improves memory. C. Short bursts of exercise will benefit the health in the short term. D. However, evidence has shown that anything is better than nothing. E. The patients playing golf saw their balance and walking ability improve. F. Exercise is one of the most powerful treatments for people with Parkinson’s disease. G. Examples include a few push-ups, 60 seconds on an bike, or a jog up a flight of stairs. 【答案】36 D 37. G 38.

The once pleasant surroundings were ruined by piles of waste that seemed to multiply with each passing day. Residents were growing tired of the worsening environment, leading many to abandon their homes in search of cleaner neighborhoods. It was in this terrible situation that two young students, Emma and Mia, decided to take matters into their own hands. Emma and Mia were classmates and best friends from Phillips Exeter Academy, both passionate about environmental preservation and deeply concerned about the pollution crisis their community was facing. Witnessing more and more neighbors’ leaving, they knew they couldn’t stand by any longer. Determined to bring about a change, they undertook a mission that would soon catch the attention of the entire community. Their journey began with thorough research and planning. The two girls searched carefully on the Internet for information on environmental initiatives and connected with local environmentalists. They organized meetings with residents to understand the issues at hand, collecting data on the types of waste, the sources, and the areas most affected. Armed with this knowledge, Emma and Mia worked out a comprehensive plan and announced it to ask for opinions from the residents. Surprisingly it was strongly supported. Their strategy was twofold. First, they initiated a waste classification and recycling program. They distributed recycling bins(回收箱) to every household and educated the community about the importance of responsible waste management. Soon, the streets began to show signs of improvement as the volume of garbage inappropriately thrown away decreased gradually. The second part of their plan was more ambitious. Emma and Mia gathered volunteers from their school and the neighborhood to take part in a massive clean-up campaign. Armed with gloves and trash(垃圾)bags, they began systematically clearing the waste from the streets, parks, and even the local bodies of water. Their firm commitment and hard work inspired others to join the cause. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式作答。 Half a year later, the changes were significant. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Emma and Mia received recognition and honors for their work. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Half a year later, the changes were significant. Gradually, the neighborhood regained its charm. The air grew cleaner, many kinds of birds were increasingly making their nests here again and the sound of laughter returned as children played in the park once littered with waste. Emma and Mia’s great efforts had not only cleaned up the environment but also promoted the community spirit. News of the remarkable transformation quickly spread beyond the community. Those who had left the community in earlier years began to return. Emma and Mia received recognition and honors for their work. The local community was full of praise for their efforts and gave them gift packs in appreciation of what they had done. Besides, awards from environmental organizations and praise from government officials poured in. But they knew that their work was far from finished. They would use their newfound prominence to advocate for sustainable practices, hosting workshops and seminars on environmental protection, inspire the community to continue their eco-friendly efforts and encourage local businesses to adopt green initiatives to make their neighborhood more enjoyable. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了埃克赛特的郊区有一个小社区，那里的环境被日益倍增的垃圾破坏，许多居民都搬走了。两个学生艾玛和米娅决定采取行动，作出改变。他们认真制定了计划，向居民征求意见并得到了他们的支持。他们的计划包括两个部分。第一部分是垃圾分类回收项目，他们给每家每户分发了回收箱并告诉他们负责任地进行垃圾处理的重要性，很快街道的情况得到了改善。第二部分是召集志愿者参加大规模的垃圾清理运动，这一举动鼓舞了其他人参与到这个事业中来。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“半年后，这些变化是显著的。”可知，第一段可描写社区环境得到改变后的影响。。 ②由第二段首句内容“艾玛和米娅的工作得到了认可和荣誉。”可知，第二段可描写艾玛和米娅的工作得到了认可以及他们继续为环保而做出努力。。 2.续写线索：显著变化——社区恢复魅力——改变后的影响——得到认可和荣誉——继续环保工作 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①恢复：regained/ recover / renew ②促进，提升：promoted / motivated ③完成：finished / completed 情绪类 ①愉快的：enjoyable / pleasant/ cheerful ②为了表达感谢：in appreciation of / to show gratitude 【点睛】[高分句型1].
