The National Cherry Blossom Festival Here in Washington, D. C., March 20 marks the first day of the National Cherry Blossom Festival. The first cherry blossom festival was organized in 1935. Now. each year, people from around the world come to see the beautiful pink and white blossoms on the thousands of flowering cherry trees. For Washingtonians, the cherry blossoms are a welcome sign that spring has arrived. Nowruz Countries along the ancient Silk Road trading path, including Afghanistan, Iran, Turkey, Uzbekistan, and other Central Asian nations, celebrate Nowruz. During Nowruz, people visit family members and friends and exchange gifts. Iranian families set up a “haft seen” display of seven special items that represent spring and new beginnings. In Uzbekistan and other places in Central Asia, people watch wrestling events, horse races and a special horseback game called, in Uzbek, Kopkari. Holi festival Many in India and Nepal mark the arrival of spring with the Holi festival, known also as the festival of colours or the festival of love. People celebrate the festival by covering each other in you guessed it colours! Children especially enjoy the festival, as they get to throw coloured powder and water-filled balloons at others. Las Fallas People in Valencia, Spain, have their spring celebration called Las Fallas. It is a wild street festival involving fire. The festival centres on the creation and burning — of huge colourful statues made of wood, paper and plastic. The statues are meant to look like real people. Valencian communities and organizations work all year to create these structures and place them throughout the city, with fireworks inside. 21. Which country’s activities are mainly focused on sports? A. America. B. Uzbekistan. C. Nepal. D. Spain. 22. Which celebration particularly attracts kids to participate? A. Cherry blossoms. B. Nowruz. C. Holi festival. D. Las Fallas. 23. What is the text? A. A travel advertisement. B. A popular science article. C. An introduction to culture. D. A paper on the ancient Silk Road. B There are many changes that can happen in a person’s life. Some changes are very small and would not affect your life very much. However, other events could be very important and could change a person’s whole life. The important event that changed my life is coming to the United States to study. When I first arrived in this country, I realized that a great transformation (转变) would happen in my life both physically and mentally. After spending more than two months in the United States, I firmly believe that moving to the United States is a beneficial change for me. This change provides me with a chance to lead a healthy lifestyle as well as a new way of thinking that is important for me. It is necessary to have this change as it offers me a healthy lifestyle. Before coming to the United States, I used to stay up late at night to study and wake up early in the morning. This could cause me to get sick easily. When I decided to come to America, I made up my mind and determined to keep a healthy routine. For example, I enjoy the American-style meal which includes having a fresh salad instead of cooked vegetables. This method of cooking vegetables helps me absorb more vitamins from them. Additionally, this most important change enables me to think differently and internationally. This is my first time living in a North American country. Hence, I have a brand-new chance to experience a new culture. By knowing more about different cultures, I have become more considerate and have an understanding of various habits as well as behaviors from different races. Since I came here, I have changed my eating and sleeping habits to a good way. Thus, this change is very important and beneficial for me. 24. What does the author mainly want to tell us in the passage? A. There exist great changes during a person’s life. B. Small changes will bring great influence on society. C. An important event has changed the life of the author. D. The author values the chance to study in the United States. 25. How did the author feel when he first landed onto the new country? A. He benefited from the challenging life. B. He found he would face a great change. C. He discovered life here quite agreed with him. D. He knew he had to change his healthy lifestyle. 26. What can we learn from the third paragraph? A. The author was becoming healthier and healthier. B. The author felt happier and more content. C. The author learned how to cook American meals. D. The author decided to live as the Americans do. 27. Which of the following impresses the author most? A. The American-style meal. B. A new way of living. C. Experiencing a new culture. D. Changing his behaviors. C People have been wondering why elephants do not develop cancer even though their lifespans can reach 50 to 70 years. Now scientists believe they know why. A team at the University of Chicago has found that elephants carry a large number of genes (基因) that stop tumors (肿瘤) developing. To be precise, they found 20 copies of an anti-tumor gene called TP53 in elephants. Most other species only carry one copy. According to the research, the extra copies of the gene improve the animal’s sensitivity to DNA damage, which lets the cells quickly kill themselves when damaged before they can go on to form deadly tumors. “An increased risk of developing cancer has stood in the way of the evolution (进化) of large body sizes in many animals,” said the study author Dr. Vincent Lynch. If every living cell has the same chance of becoming cancerous, large creatures with a long lifespan like whales and elephants should have a greater risk of developing cancer than humans and rats. But across species, the risk of cancer does not show a connection with body mass. This phenomenon was found by Oxford University scientist Richard Peto in the 1970s.Biologists believe it results from larger animals using protection that many smaller animals do not use. In the elephant’s case, the making of TP53 is nature’s way of keeping this species alive. The study also found that when the same genes were brought to life in rats, they had the same cancer resistance as elephants. This means researchers could use the discovery to develop new treatments that can help stop cancer spreading or even developing in the first place. “Nature has already figured out how to prevent cancer,” said Joshua Schiffman, a biologist in the University of Utah. “It’s up to us to learn how different animals deal with the problem so that we can use those strategies to prevent cancer in people.” 28. Why are elephants unlikely to develop cancer? A. They have a rather large body size. B. Their genes suffer no DNA damage. C. Certain genes in their body kill existing tumors. D. They carry many genes to prevent tumors developing. 29. According to the passage, what has been a risk in the evolution of large animals? A. Deadly tumors. B. The huge body mass. C. Cells killing themselves. D. Sensitivity to DNA damage. 30. What does the underlined part “This phenomenon” in paragraph 5 probably refer to? A. Larger animals have protection from TP53. B. The risk of cancer is not related to body sizes. C. Larger animals suffer the same risk of cancer as smaller ones. D. The huger animals are, the bigger risk of cancer they will have. 31. What can be concluded from the passage? A. Depending on nature is surely enough to fight against cancer. B. Humans are expected to prevent cancer with the making of TP53. C. The TP53 genes have proved useful in stopping cancer in people. D. The extra copies of elephants’ genes have been used to cure cancer patients. D A nonprofit group has identified over 1,500 books that local schools in America have banned from their libraries and classrooms in 2022 — 2023. The American Library Association (ALA) says there were more attempts to ban books from schools last year than ever before. Gay Ivey, professor of literacy and her research partner Peter Johnston have studied students’ motivations to read. They also have studied how students react to reading young adult literature. Ivey said reading books considered “disturbing” by students was beneficial for their learning and emotional development. And parents also noticed a growth in their children after they read the disturbing books. In one of Ivey and Johnston’s studies, they spent a year in a middle school. They asked eighth grade students in an English class to choose any book they wanted to read. The teens were not under any pressure from teachers to finish the book or to produce any schoolwork about the book. Many of the students chose to read books that deal with difficult subjects like depression. Some of the books students chose were ones that schools around the country have banned. Students are drawn to books that deal with troubling subjects. Instead of being harmed by such subjects, reading about fictional characters made them more empathetic (感同身受的). Ivey said they also were more thoughtful about the characters’ motivations and actions. The researchers found that reading made the students happier, and helped some heal from sadness or depression. The difficult nature of the books made the students more likely to discuss the subjects with teachers, parents and friends. Ivey said reading texts with difficult and troubling subject matter makes students more involved readers and learners. Students are able to relate to characters facing difficult decisions and think about how they would react to a situation described in the book. Reading disturbing books also made students more likely to learn as a group, the researchers said. With the troubling texts, sometimes it is “really necessary to grab everybody around you and put all heads around it and teach each other,” Ivey said. “More and different kinds of learning happens in those situations.” 32. What is the function of Paragraph 1? A. To call for confirming banned books. B. To encourage people to read. C. To make readers interested. D. To lead in the topic of the text. 33. What can we learn about Gray Ivey? A. She is engaged in youth literature creation. B. She researches students’ reaction to reading young adult books. C. She thinks that restricting teenage reading is meaningless. D. She suggests that students lack motivation to read disturbing books. 34. What is the main idea of Paragraph 6? A. Reading is profitable for adjusting mental health. B. Rendıng disturbing books has positive effects. C. To improve the reading ability of adolescent students is important. D. Reading can enhance communication and interaction with students. 35. What can we draw from the text? A. Reading is usually beneficial. B. The more you read, the more in the stomach empty. C. Reading without the use of the book is equal to wasting paper. D. Reading a good book is a conversation with a lot of good people. 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。 What are some ways to deal with noisy neighbors? Noisy neighbors are a common problem in a society where many people live closely together. Obviously, this issue can be the most significant when you share walls or a floor/ceiling with a neighbor. Then how can you tackle noisy neighbors? You should be aware that not all neighbors are going to respond to your request. ____36____ If noisy neighbors don't change their behavior, the next step should be to write a letter, detailing the noise. ____37____ If noisy neighbors respond in such bad manners that you fear for your safety, your next step when noise occurs should be a call for the police. When the noise remains ongoing, you should definitely report it to local authorities. ____38____ Continue with calls for the police department when absolutely necessary. You might want to connect other neighbors who may also be bothered by the same noise. In fact, the problem is resolved when the noisy neighbors know you are going to call the police. Do be aware that you cannot always request noisy neighbors to be quiet. ____39____ And what you define as noisy neighbors may not really have bothering behavior. Carefully read specific apartments' HOA rules to see if your neighbor's noise is actually breaking rules. ____40____ If you have followed through with the steps and the letters, don't start banging things around in your home or turning up the music to annoy the neighbor. Simply report behavior to the appropriate authorities. If you do not, it will weaken your case and make it necessary for you to take the matter to a small court. A. There is one exception to this. B. And some may respond in bad manners. C. Some people have lower tolerance for the noise. D. Start with landlords or the Homeowner's Association (HOA). E.

Why do you ask such a thing?” the man said angrily. “I just want to know. Please tell me. How much do you make an hour?” pleaded the little boy. “If you must know, I make $ 20 an hour.” “Oh,” the little boy replied, with his head down. Looking up, he said, “Daddy, may I please borrow $ 10?” The father was angry, “If the only reason you asked that is that you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I work hard every day for such childish behavior. ” The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy’s questions. “How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?” he thought to himself. After about an hour or so, the man calmed down, and started to think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $ 10 and he really didn’t ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the little boy’s room and opened the door. “Are you asleep, son?” he asked. “No, daddy, I’m awake,” replied the boy. “I’ve been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier,” said the man. “It has been a long day and I took out my anger on you. Here’s the $ 10 you asked for.” The little boy sat straight up, smiling. “Oh. Thank you, daddy!” he yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled (皱巴巴的) bills. 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。 The man, seeing that the boy already had so much money, started to get angry again. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After hearing what the boy said, the father felt so sorry for what he had said to his son. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高二年级学业水平检测 英语试题 (本试卷满分 150 分，共 6 页。考试时间为 120 分钟) 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) 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What did the woman do last night?

The National Cherry Blossom Festival Here in Washington, D. C., March 20 marks the first day of the National Cherry Blossom Festival. The first cherry blossom festival was organized in 1935. Now. each year, people from around the world come to see the beautiful pink and white blossoms on the thousands of flowering cherry trees. For Washingtonians, the cherry blossoms are a welcome sign that spring has arrived. Nowruz Countries along the ancient Silk Road trading path, including Afghanistan, Iran, Turkey, Uzbekistan, and other Central Asian nations, celebrate Nowruz. During Nowruz, people visit family members and friends and exchange gifts. Iranian families set up a “haft seen” display of seven special items that represent spring and new beginnings. In Uzbekistan and other places in Central Asia, people watch wrestling events, horse races and a special horseback game called, in Uzbek, Kopkari. Holi festival Many in India and Nepal mark the arrival of spring with the Holi festival, known also as the festival of colours or the festival of love. People celebrate the festival by covering each other in you guessed it colours! Children especially enjoy the festival, as they get to throw coloured powder and water-filled balloons at others. Las Fallas People in Valencia, Spain, have their spring celebration called Las Fallas. It is a wild street festival involving fire. The festival centres on the creation and burning — of huge colourful statues made of wood, paper and plastic. The statues are meant to look like real people. Valencian communities and organizations work all year to create these structures and place them throughout the city, with fireworks inside. 21. Which country’s activities are mainly focused on sports? A. America. B. Uzbekistan. C. Nepal. D. Spain. 22. Which celebration particularly attracts kids to participate? A. Cherry blossoms. B. Nowruz. C. Holi festival. D. Las Fallas. 23. What is the text? A. A travel advertisement. B. A popular science article. C. An introduction to culture. D. A paper on the ancient Silk Road. 【答案】21. B 22. C 23.

Some changes are very small and would not affect your life very much. However, other events could be very important and could change a person’s whole life. The important event that changed my life is coming to the United States to study. When I first arrived in this country, I realized that a great transformation (转变) would happen in my life both physically and mentally. After spending more than two months in the United States, I firmly believe that moving to the United States is a beneficial change for me. This change provides me with a chance to lead a healthy lifestyle as well as a new way of thinking that is important for me. It is necessary to have this change as it offers me a healthy lifestyle. Before coming to the United States, I used to stay up late at night to study and wake up early in the morning. This could cause me to get sick easily. When I decided to come to America, I made up my mind and determined to keep a healthy routine. For example, I enjoy the American-style meal which includes having a fresh salad instead of cooked vegetables. This method of cooking vegetables helps me absorb more vitamins from them. Additionally, this most important change enables me to think differently and internationally. This is my first time living in a North American country. Hence, I have a brand-new chance to experience a new culture. By knowing more about different cultures, I have become more considerate and have an understanding of various habits as well as behaviors from different races. Since I came here, I have changed my eating and sleeping habits to a good way. Thus, this change is very important and beneficial for me. 24. What does the author mainly want to tell us in the passage? A. There exist great changes during a person’s life. B. Small changes will bring great influence on society. C. An important event has changed the life of the author. D. The author values the chance to study in the United States. 25. How did the author feel when he first landed onto the new country? A. He benefited from the challenging life. B. He found he would face a great change. C. He discovered life here quite agreed with him. D. He knew he had to change his healthy lifestyle. 26.

Changing his behaviors. 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. A 27. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者到美国的留学经历不仅使他养成良好的生活习惯，同时了解不同国度的文化。 【24题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文特别是第一段“The important event that changed my life is coming to the United States to study.(改变我生活的重要事件是来美国学习。)”可知，作者开篇点明主题，随后阐述来美学习给自己生活带来的具体改变，包括健康的生活方式和思维方式的转变等，所以C选项An important event has changed the life of the author.(一个重要事件改变了作者的生活)能概括文章主旨。故选C项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“When I first arrived in this country, I realized that a great transformation (转变) would happen in my life both physically and mentally.(当我第一次来到这个国家时，我意识到我的生活在身体和精神上都将发生巨大的转变。)”可知，作者刚到美国时就发现自己将面临巨大变化。故选B项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“It is necessary to have this change as it offers me a healthy lifestyle. Before coming to the United States, I used to stay up late at night to study and wake up early in the morning. This could cause me to get sick easily. When I decided to come to America, I made up my mind and determined to keep a healthy routine. For example, I enjoy the American - style meal which includes having a fresh salad instead of cooked vegetables. This method of cooking vegetables helps me absorb more vitamins from them.(有这样的改变是必要的，因为它为我提供了一种健康的生活方式。在来美国之前，我常常熬夜学习，早上早起。这很容易让我生病。当我决定来美国时，我下定决心要保持健康的生活作息。例如，我喜欢美式餐食，包括吃新鲜沙拉而不是煮熟的蔬菜。这种烹饪蔬菜的方法帮助我从蔬菜中吸收更多的维生素。)”可知，作者改变了生活习惯，逐渐拥有健康的生活方式，可推断出作者正变得越来越健康。故选A项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Additionally, this most important change enables me to think differently and internationally. This is my first time living in a North American country. Hence, I have a brand - new chance to experience a new culture. By knowing more about different cultures, I have become more considerate and have an understanding of various habits as well as behaviors from different races.(此外，这个最重要的变化使我能够以不同的、国际化的方式思考。这是我第一次生活在北美国家。因此，我有了全新的机会去体验一种新的文化。通过更多地了解不同的文化，我变得更加体贴，并且对不同种族的各种习惯和行为有了理解。)”可知，体验新文化让作者思维发生转变，对作者影响深远，所以体验新文化给作者留下的印象最深刻。故选C项。 C People have been wondering why elephants do not develop cancer even though their lifespans can reach 50 to 70 years. Now scientists believe they know why. A team at the University of Chicago has found that elephants carry a large number of genes (基因) that stop tumors (肿瘤) developing. To be precise, they found 20 copies of an anti-tumor gene called TP53 in elephants. Most other species only carry one copy. According to the research, the extra copies of the gene improve the animal’s sensitivity to DNA damage, which lets the cells quickly kill themselves when damaged before they can go on to form deadly tumors. “An increased risk of developing cancer has stood in the way of the evolution (进化) of large body sizes in many animals,” said the study author Dr. Vincent Lynch. If every living cell has the same chance of becoming cancerous, large creatures with a long lifespan like whales and elephants should have a greater risk of developing cancer than humans and rats. But across species, the risk of cancer does not show a connection with body mass. This phenomenon was found by Oxford University scientist Richard Peto in the 1970s.Biologists believe it results from larger animals using protection that many smaller animals do not use. In the elephant’s case, the making of TP53 is nature’s way of keeping this species alive. The study also found that when the same genes were brought to life in rats, they had the same cancer resistance as elephants. This means researchers could use the discovery to develop new treatments that can help stop cancer spreading or even developing in the first place. “Nature has already figured out how to prevent cancer,” said Joshua Schiffman, a biologist in the University of Utah. “It’s up to us to learn how different animals deal with the problem so that we can use those strategies to prevent cancer in people.” 28. Why are elephants unlikely to develop cancer? A. They have a rather large body size. B. Their genes suffer no DNA damage. C. Certain genes in their body kill existing tumors. D. They carry many genes to prevent tumors developing. 29. According to the passage, what has been a risk in the evolution of large animals? A. Deadly tumors. B. The huge body mass. C. Cells killing themselves. D. Sensitivity to DNA damage. 30. What does the underlined part “This phenomenon” in paragraph 5 probably refer to? A. Larger animals have protection from TP53. B. The risk of cancer is not related to body sizes. C. Larger animals suffer the same risk of cancer as smaller ones. D. The huger animals are, the bigger risk of cancer they will have. 31. What can be concluded from the passage? A. Depending on nature is surely enough to fight against cancer. B. Humans are expected to prevent cancer with the making of TP53. C. The TP53 genes have proved useful in stopping cancer in people. D. The extra copies of elephants’ genes have been used to cure cancer patients. 【答案】28. D 29. A 30. B 31. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章研究揭示大象不易患癌的原因——携带多个TP53基因，有望据此研发人类癌症防治新策略。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“A team at the University of Chicago has found that elephants carry a large number of genes (基因) that stop tumors (肿瘤) developing. To be precise, they found 20 copies of an anti-tumor gene called TP53 in elephants. Most other species only carry one copy.(芝加哥大学的一个研究小组发现，大象携带大量阻止肿瘤生长的基因。确切地说，他们在大象体内发现了20个名为TP53的抗肿瘤基因拷贝。大多数其他物种，只携带一个拷贝。)”可知，大象不太可能患癌症是因为它们携带许多防止肿瘤发展的基因。故选D项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的““An increased risk of developing cancer has stood in the way of the evolution (进化) of large body sizes in many animals,” the study author Dr. Vincent Lynch . (该研究的作者文森特·林奇说：“患癌症风险的增加阻碍了许多动物向大体型进化。”)”可知，在大型动物的进化过程中，致命的肿瘤是一个风险。故选A项。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“If every living cell has the same chance of becoming cancerous, large creatures with a long lifespan like whales and elephants should have a greater risk of developing cancer than humans and rats. But across species, the risk of cancer does not show a connection with body mass.(如果每个活细胞都有同样的癌变机会，那么像鲸鱼和大象这样寿命长的大型生物患癌症的风险应该比人类和老鼠更高。但在不同物种中，患癌症的风险与体型大小没有关联。)”可知，患癌症的风险与体型大小没有关联，划线短语“This phenomenon”为特指上文中的内容，所以划线短语指代的是“患癌症的风险与体型大小没有关联”。故选B项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““Nature has already figured out how to prevent cancer,” said Joshua Schiffman, a biologist in the University of Utah. “It’s up to us to learn how different animals deal with the problem so that we can use those strategies to prevent cancer in people.(“大自然已经找到了预防癌症的方法，”犹他大学医学院的生物学家约书亚·施夫曼（Joshua Schiffman）说。“我们该去了解不同动物是如何应对这个问题的，从而利用这些策略来预防人类的癌症。”)”以及前文提到大象体内TP53基因的作用可知，人类有望通过对TP53基因的研究来预防癌症。故选B项。 D A nonprofit group has identified over 1,500 books that local schools in America have banned from their libraries and classrooms in 2022 — 2023. The American Library Association (ALA) says there were more attempts to ban books from schools last year than ever before. Gay Ivey, professor of literacy and her research partner Peter Johnston have studied students’ motivations to read. They also have studied how students react to reading young adult literature. Ivey said reading books considered “disturbing” by students was beneficial for their learning and emotional development. And parents also noticed a growth in their children after they read the disturbing books. In one of Ivey and Johnston’s studies, they spent a year in a middle school. They asked eighth grade students in an English class to choose any book they wanted to read. The teens were not under any pressure from teachers to finish the book or to produce any schoolwork about the book. Many of the students chose to read books that deal with difficult subjects like depression. Some of the books students chose were ones that schools around the country have banned. Students are drawn to books that deal with troubling subjects. Instead of being harmed by such subjects, reading about fictional characters made them more empathetic (感同身受的). Ivey said they also were more thoughtful about the characters’ motivations and actions. The researchers found that reading made the students happier, and helped some heal from sadness or depression. The difficult nature of the books made the students more likely to discuss the subjects with teachers, parents and friends. Ivey said reading texts with difficult and troubling subject matter makes students more involved readers and learners. Students are able to relate to characters facing difficult decisions and think about how they would react to a situation described in the book. Reading disturbing books also made students more likely to learn as a group, the researchers said. With the troubling texts, sometimes it is “really necessary to grab everybody around you and put all heads around it and teach each other,” Ivey said. “More and different kinds of learning happens in those situations.” 32. What is the function of Paragraph 1? A. To call for confirming banned books. B. To encourage people to read. C. To make readers interested. D. To lead in the topic of the text. 33. What can we learn about Gray Ivey? A. She is engaged in youth literature creation. B. She researches students’ reaction to reading young adult books. C. She thinks that restricting teenage reading is meaningless. D. She suggests that students lack motivation to read disturbing books. 34. What is the main idea of Paragraph 6? A. Reading is profitable for adjusting mental health. B. Rendıng disturbing books has positive effects. C. To improve the reading ability of adolescent students is important. D. Reading can enhance communication and interaction with students. 35. What can we draw from the text? A. Reading is usually beneficial. B. The more you read, the more in the stomach empty. C. Reading without the use of the book is equal to wasting paper. D. Reading a good book is a conversation with a lot of good people. 【答案】32. D 33. B 34. B 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。一个非营利组织已经确定了美国当地学校在 2022-2023学年禁止在图书馆和教室里阅读的1500多本书，但研究发现阅读这类书籍有其积极的方面。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“A nonprofit group has identified over 1,500 books that local schools in America have banned from their libraries and classrooms in 2022- 2023. The American Library Association (ALA) says there were more attempts to ban books from schools last year than ever before.(一个非营利组织已经确定了美国当地学校在 2022-2023学年禁止在图书馆和教室里阅读的1500多本书。美国图书馆协会（ALA）表示，去年禁止学校书籍的尝试比以往任何时候都多)”以及第三段“Ivey said reading books considered “disturbing” by students was beneficial for their learning and emotional development. And parents also noticed a growth in their children after they read the disturbing books.(Ivey说，阅读学生认为“令人不安”的书籍对他们的学习和情感发展有益。家长们也注意到，在孩子们读了这些令人不安的书后，他们的孩子也有了成长)”可知，本段以具体数字展示美国当地学校禁止的书籍数量，用以引入文章主题，介绍被禁止的书籍也有积极作用。故选D。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“They also have studied how students react to reading young adult literature.(他们还研究了学生对阅读青年文学的反应)”可知，Gray Ivey 研究学生对阅读青年文学书籍的反应。故选B。 【34题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第六段“Students are drawn to books that deal with troubling subjects. Instead of being harmed by such subjects, reading about fictional characters made them more empathetic (感同身受的). Ivey said they also were more thoughtful about the characters’ motivations and actions. The researchers found that reading made the students happier, and helped some heal from sadness or depression. The difficult nature of the books made the students more likely to discuss the subjects with teachers, parents and friends. Ivey said reading texts with difficult and troubling subject matter makes students more involved readers and learners. Students are able to relate to characters facing difficult decisions and think about how they would react to a situation described in the book.(学生们被那些涉及棘手问题的书所吸引。阅读虚构人物的故事使他们更感同身受的，而不是受到这些主题的伤害。艾维说，他们对角色的动机和行为也更加深思熟虑。研究人员发现，阅读让学生们更快乐，并帮助一些学生从悲伤或抑郁中康复。这些书的难度使学生更有可能与老师、家长和朋友讨论这些科目。Ivey说，阅读具有困难和令人不安主题的文本会让学生更积极地参与阅读和学习。学生能够与面临艰难决定的角色建立联系，并思考他们将如何应对书中描述的情况)”可知，阅读这类书籍可以让学生们更能感同身受、进行深刻思考、帮助一些学生从悲伤或抑郁中康复，阅读具有困难和令人不安主题的文本会让学生更积极地参与阅读和学习，本段主要介绍了这类书籍会产生积极的影响。故选B。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Ivey said reading books considered “disturbing” by students was beneficial for their learning and emotional development. And parents also noticed a growth in their children after they read the disturbing books.(Ivey说，阅读学生认为“令人不安”的书籍对他们的学习和情感发展有益。家长们也注意到，在孩子们读了这些令人不安的书后，他们的孩子也有了成长)”以及最后一段“Reading disturbing books also made students more likely to learn as a group, the researchers said.(研究人员表示，阅读令人不安的书籍也使学生更有可能作为一个群体学习)”可知，即使阅读令人不安的书籍，也会有积极的影响，由此可推知，阅读通常是有益处的。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。 What are some ways to deal with noisy neighbors? Noisy neighbors are a common problem in a society where many people live closely together. Obviously, this issue can be the most significant when you share walls or a floor/ceiling with a neighbor. Then how can you tackle noisy neighbors? You should be aware that not all neighbors are going to respond to your request. ____36____ If noisy neighbors don't change their behavior, the next step should be to write a letter, detailing the noise. ____37____ If noisy neighbors respond in such bad manners that you fear for your safety, your next step when noise occurs should be a call for the police. When the noise remains ongoing, you should definitely report it to local authorities. ____38____ Continue with calls for the police department when absolutely necessary. You might want to connect other neighbors who may also be bothered by the same noise. In fact, the problem is resolved when the noisy neighbors know you are going to call the police. Do be aware that you cannot always request noisy neighbors to be quiet. ____39____ And what you define as noisy neighbors may not really have bothering behavior. Carefully read specific apartments' HOA rules to see if your neighbor's noise is actually breaking rules. ____40____ If you have followed through with the steps and the letters, don't start banging things around in your home or turning up the music to annoy the neighbor. Simply report behavior to the appropriate authorities. If you do not, it will weaken your case and make it necessary for you to take the matter to a small court. A. There is one exception to this. B. And some may respond in bad manners. C. Some people have lower tolerance for the noise. D. Start with landlords or the Homeowner's Association (HOA). E. Also, it is wise not to respond to noise in an angry way. F. The letter should state the dates when the quarrel happens. G. You should first attempt to address noisy neighbors about the noise. 【答案】36. B 37. A 38. D 39. C 40. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一些应对吵闹邻居的方法。 【36题详解】 根据上文“You should be aware that not all neighbors are going to respond to your request.(你应该知道，并不是所有的邻居都会响应你的请求)”以及后文“If noisy neighbors don't change their behavior, the next step should be to write a letter, detailing the noise.(如果吵闹的邻居不改变他们的行为，下一步应该写一封信，详细说明噪音)”可知，上文提到不是所有邻居都会响应请求，且后文提到吵闹的邻居不改变他们的行为，可见本句是在说明有些邻居对此的消极反应。故B选项“有些人可能会做出不礼貌的反应”符合语境，故选B。 【37题详解】 根据上文“If noisy neighbors don't change their behavior, the next step should be to write a letter, detailing the noise.(如果吵闹的邻居不改变他们的行为，下一步应该写一封信，详细说明噪音)”以及后文“If noisy neighbors respond in such bad manners that you fear for your safety, your next step when noise occurs should be a call for the police.(如果吵闹的邻居反应如此恶劣，你担心自己的安全，当噪音发生时，你的下一步应该是打电话给警察)”可知，上文提到写建议信给邻居描述噪音问题，接下来谈到如果邻居态度恶劣以至于你担心你的安全问题，那么就报警，这是个例外。故A选项“对此有一个例外”符合语境，故选A。 【38题详解】 根据上文“When the noise remains ongoing, you should definitely report it to local authorities.(当噪音持续时，你一定要向当地政府报告)”以及后文“Continue with calls for the police department when absolutely necessary. You might want to connect other neighbors who may also be bothered by the same noise. In fact, the problem is resolved when the noisy neighbors know you are going to call the police.(在绝对必要的时候继续打电话给警察局。你可能想联系其他可能也被同样的噪音困扰的邻居。事实上，当吵闹的邻居知道你要报警时，问题就解决了)”可知，上文提到向当地政府报告，可知本句承接上文说明从哪些权威机构开始，故D选项“从房东或房主协会开始”符合语境，故选D。 【39题详解】 根据上文“Do be aware that you cannot always request noisy neighbors to be quiet.(一定要注意，你不能总是要求吵闹的邻居保持安静)”以及后文“And what you define as noisy neighbors may not really have bothering behavior. Carefully read specific apartments' HOA rules to see if your neighbor's noise is actually breaking rules.(你所定义的吵闹的邻居可能并没有真正的打扰行为。仔细阅读特定公寓的HOA规则，看看你邻居的噪音是否真的违反了规则)”可知，上文提到不能总是要求吵闹的邻居保持安静，本句说明原因：有些人对噪音的容忍度较低。故C选项“有些人对噪音的容忍度较低”符合语境，故选C。 【40题详解】 根据后文“If you have followed through with the steps and the letters, don't start banging things around in your home or turning up the music to annoy the neighbor. Simply report behavior to the appropriate authorities. If you do not, it will weaken your case and make it necessary for you to take the matter to a small court.(如果你遵循了这些步骤和信件，不要开始敲打家里的东西或打开音乐来打扰邻居。只需要将行为报告给相关部门。如果你不这样做，它将削弱你的案件，使你有必要将此事诉诸小法庭)”可知，本段建议要用正确的方式来解决邻居吵闹的问题。故E选项“同样，对噪音不以愤怒的方式回应也是明智的”符合语境，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 个小题;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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A parent’s hopes for 2030 When 2010 arrived, my son was only a year old — tiny, ____41____, the master of a few basic words, but still mostly the baby we’d welcomed into the world.  Now my baby has grown into an ____42____ — tall, strong, and smart, a lover of Akira Kurosawa’s samurai movies.

Why do you ask such a thing?” the man said angrily. “I just want to know. Please tell me. How much do you make an hour?” pleaded the little boy. “If you must know, I make $ 20 an hour.” “Oh,” the little boy replied, with his head down. Looking up, he said, “Daddy, may I please borrow $ 10?” The father was angry, “If the only reason you asked that is that you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I work hard every day for such childish behavior. ” The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy’s questions. “How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?” he thought to himself. After about an hour or so, the man calmed down, and started to think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $ 10 and he really didn’t ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the little boy’s room and opened the door. “Are you asleep, son?” he asked. “No, daddy, I’m awake,” replied the boy. “I’ve been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier,” said the man. “It has been a long day and I took out my anger on you. Here’s the $ 10 you asked for.” The little boy sat straight up, smiling. “Oh. Thank you, daddy!” he yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled (皱巴巴的) bills. 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。 The man, seeing that the boy already had so much money, started to get angry again. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After hearing what the boy said, the father felt so sorry for what he had said to his son. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： The man, seeing that the boy already had so much money started to get angry again. “How can you be so selfish? Why do you want more money since you have already had these bills?” The father could hardly hold his anger back and inquired with two eyebrows knitted into one. Holding back tears in his eyes, the little boy slowly and carefully counted out his money, and then looked up at his father, replying with big blue eyes shining with tears, “Because I didn’t have enough before, but now I do.” Wiping away his tears and with an innocent smile appearing on his face, the boy requested in a relieved voice, “Daddy, I have $ 20 now. Can I buy an hour from you? Please come home early tomorrow. I want to have dinner with you.” After hearing what the boy said, the father felt so sorry for what he had said to his son. With tears filling his eyes, he gave a deep hug to the son. In the past few years, he was always engaged in work and never spent a single weekend with his son. This $ 20 is just a short reminder to all of us working so hard for our living. Don’t let time slip through our fingers without having spent some quality time with those who really matter to us. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。一位晚归的父亲发现5岁儿子在门口等他，儿子询问父亲每小时的收入后想借10美元。父亲起初生气拒绝，冷静后道歉并给钱，儿子则拿出自己攒的皱巴巴的钱。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“那人看到男孩已经有这么多钱，又开始生气了。”可知，第一段可以描写父亲询问儿子要钱的原因和男孩的解释。 ②由第二段句首内容“听到男孩说的话后，父亲为他对儿子说的话感到非常抱歉。”可知，第二段可以描写男人对于生活的反思。 2.续写线索：看到男孩已经有钱——询问儿子要钱的原因——解释——感到非常抱歉——反思 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①抑制住：hold back/suppress ②出现：appear/emerge ③回答：reply/answer 情绪类 ①愤怒：anger/rage ②泪水盈眶：with tears filling one’s eyes/with tears welling up in one’s eyes 【点睛】【高分句型1】Why do you want more money since you have already had these bills?
