He then left school and joined a firm of art dealers in the large city of The Hague. He eventually realized that dealing with others’ artwork was not his profession. His true love was to become an artist himself. He devoted much of his time to learning the fundamentals of drawing. Van Gogh believed that to become a great painter, one must first master the ability to draw. It was only after he was comfortable in this area that he began to use oil paints. That is when he developed a style and talent for color that made him one of the most respected artists of all time. Van Gogh’s paintings are amazing representations of his view of the world. The colors jump off the canvas, not only because of their brightness but also because of the brush strokes (笔触). Van Gogh avoided light, feathery strokes, which would portray typical subjects. Instead, he used his brush and oils to make layers that built the painting until it was almost three-dimensional. Perhaps one of the most memorable examples of Van Gogh’s use of color and brush style is his painting The Starry Night. The sky swirls (打旋) across the canvas, while the stars shine with unearthly brightness. Each brush stroke creates the image of movement. The Starry Night shows Van Gogh’s great ability to create a powerful image with simple subjects. Van Gogh spent only the last ten years of his life painting. He is believed to have sold only one of the 900 paintings he created during those years. Yet today Van Gogh is considered one of the greatest artists of all time. His influence is evident; many painters imitate his style and use of color. His artwork can be found in museums worldwide and is valued in millions of dollars, an evidence for Van Gogh’s talent. 11. According to the text, Van Gogh learnt how to paint by ______________. A. reading many books about art B. closely observing the world around him C. carefully studying the works of great artists D. acquiring basic drawing techniques 12. Which of the following does the author seem to admire most about Van Gogh’s paintings? A. The images. B. The mood. C. The brushwork. D. The themes. 13. Why does the author refer to The Starry Night? A. To show Van Gogh’s style of painting. B. To prove Van Gogh’s respect for nature. C. To indicate Van Gogh’s feelings about his art. D. To praise Van Gogh’s ability to create powerful subjects. 【答案】11. D 12. C 13. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章重点介绍了梵高在色彩和对事物的形态塑造上的方法使其作品独具一格，并以其代表作《星夜》为例进行了具体说明。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Van Gogh believed that to become a great painter, one must first master the ability to draw. It was only after he was comfortable in this area that he began to use oil paints.(梵高认为，要成为一个伟大的画家，首先要掌握绘画的能力。直到他在这个领域感到舒适之后，他才开始使用油画颜料)”可知，梵高认为要成为伟大的画家，必须要先掌握基础的绘画技巧。故选D。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。 根据文章第三段“Van Gogh’s paintings are amazing representations of his view of the world. The colors jump off the canvas, not only because of their brightness but also because of the brush strokes(笔触). (梵高的画作令人惊叹地表现了他对世界的看法。色彩在画布上跳跃，不仅因为它们的亮度，而且因为笔触)”可知，梵高成为一位受人尊敬的画家的主要原因是他对色彩的把握有自己的风格和天赋。由此可知，作者最欣赏梵高画作的笔触。故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。 根据文章第四段“Perhaps one of the most memorable examples of Van Gogh’s use of color and brush style is his painting The Starry Night. The sky swirls (打旋) across the canvas, while the stars shine with unearthly brightness. Each brush stroke creates the image of movement.(也许梵高对色彩和笔法的运用最令人难忘的例子之一是他的《星夜》。天空在画布上旋转，而星星则闪耀着超凡的光芒。每一笔都创造出运动的形象)”可推知，作者提到《星夜》这幅画是为了展示梵高的绘画风格。故选A。 B Group exercise is one of the most effective ways to improve physical fitness and sustain a healthy lifestyle. Group exercise is challenging, yet fun and empowering! Of course everyone knows that exercise is good for the body. However, studies have shown that when exercise is performed in groups, it’s not only great for improving physical health but for psychological health. It’s an opportunity to be social, release endorphins (内啡肽), and improve your strength. Additionally, group exercise creates a community feel and the shared common goal motivates participants to work hard. The instrumental support of taking on a fitness journey with others proves more effective than going to the gym alone. Another beneficial aspect of group exercise is the informational support participants receive from the instructor. Many people fear the gym because they feel lost and don’t want to embarrass themselves. If you feel you can relate, then group training is an even better option for you. It’s a great opportunity to learn more about fitness through the clear instruction and supervision (监督) of a fitness instructor. If you’re tired of wandering around the gym, wasting time and becoming bored, you can attend an upbeat group fitness class that’ll keep your workout on track. Don’t let fitness frighten you! If you’re serious about wanting to live a healthy lifestyle, it’s extremely important to surround yourself with people who’ll provide you with the proper emotional support. I wouldn’t scold anyone for deciding to party on weekends and in turn I wouldn’t expect anyone to give offence (冒犯) to me for focusing on my health. Surround yourself with people who uplift, encourage and understand you! Make fitness even more fun by trying something new or any group fitness class, with a friend. Plan to go for a jog together. Then try a fun healthy restaurant or fresh juice bar! Fitness can be both fun and social! Surrounding yourself with people who’ll provide you with respect support can be very beneficial while working towards reaching health and fitness goals. First, decide to do it for yourself and work towards staying positive. Then make sure the people you surround yourself with are supportive. Don’t let negativity ruin your motivation. 14. The first paragraph focuses on _________. A. the greatest challenge of group exercise B. the most effective way to improve physical fitness C. the contribution of group exercise to psychological health D. the shared common goal in performing exercise in groups 15. The underlined word “upbeat” in the second paragraph probably means ________. A. average B. cheerful C. thorough D. permanent 16. When it comes to emotional support, the author thinks it necessary __________. A. to sustain a colorful lifestyle B. to party on weekends with positive people C. to try a fun healthy restaurant regularly D. to surround yourself with supportive people 【答案】14. C 15. B 16. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章阐述团体运动对身心健康的益处，强调锻炼时身边需有给予情感支持之人，以助实现健康生活目标 。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“However, studies have shown that when exercise is performed in groups, it’s not only great for improving physical health but for psychological health.(然而，研究表明，当进行团体运动时，它不仅对改善身体健康有好处，而且对心理健康也有好处。)”以及“It’s an opportunity to be social, release endorphins (内啡肽), and improve your strength. Additionally, group exercise creates a community feel and the shared common goal motivates participants to work hard.(这是一个社交的机会，释放内啡肽，提高你的力量。此外，小组锻炼营造了一种社区氛围，共同的目标激励参与者努力工作。)”对团体运动在社交、释放内啡肽、提升力量、营造社区氛围等方面的描述可知，第一段重点强调的是团体运动对心理健康的贡献。故选C项。 【15题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“If you’re tired of wandering around the gym, wasting time and becoming bored, you can attend an upbeat group fitness class that’ll keep your workout on track. Don’t let fitness frighten you!(如果你厌倦了在健身房里闲逛，浪费时间并感到无聊，你可以参加一个upbeat的团体健身课程，这将使你的锻炼走上正轨。不要让健身吓到你！)”可知，upbeat修饰的团体健身课程能让厌倦、无聊的人重新积极投入锻炼且不害怕健身，所以upbeat意思应该是“积极的、令人愉快的”。故选B项。 【16题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“If you’re serious about wanting to live a healthy lifestyle, it’s extremely important to surround yourself with people who’ll provide you with the proper emotional support.(如果你认真想要过一种健康的生活方式，让自己身边围绕着能给你提供适当情感支持的人是极其重要的。)”以及第四段“Surrounding yourself with people who’ll provide you with respect support can be very beneficial while working towards reaching health and fitness goals.(在努力实现健康和健身目标的过程中，让自己身边围绕着能给予你尊重和支持的人是非常有益的。)”可知，当谈到情感支持时，作者认为让自己身边围绕着给予支持的人是必要的。故选D项。 C Global warming is mainly caused by the increased emission of greenhouse gases in particular carbon dioxide produced by power stations that use huge amounts of fossil fuel to supply us with electricity. These greenhouse gases have an average lifetime in the atmosphere of 50 to 200 years. This means that even if we stopped the emission of greenhouse gases completely tomorrow, global warming would still continue for decades to come. The International Energy Agency(IEA) records the energy consumption worldwide and produces a forecast for the next 25 years. In their last energy outlook published in 2006, IEA predicted a strong increase of the carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 as a consequence of the increasing demand for energy worldwide. Additionally, IEA investigated to which extent the above mentioned emissions of CO₂ could be prevented if politics applied strict measures. One of many measures investigated was massive facilitation and stimulation for building additional nuclear power plants (核电站). Nuclear energy is used to generate electrical power without any sort of fossil fuel involved in the process. Therefore, CO₂ emission can indeed be reduced, if electricity power plants driven by fossil fuels were replaced by nuclear power plants. Yet, the application of nuclear power is highly risky and problematic; and so the problem of CO2 emissions must not be looked at independently of all other risks and problems. Some critics claim that nuclear energy’s emissions can compare to those of fossil-fuels’ when the life cycle impacts of nuclear power are considered. Although nuclear power plants do not release greenhouse gases when generating electricity certain processes used to build and fuel the plants do, such as transporting the fuel to the plants in trucks. However, dozens of studies show that nuclear plants’ life cycle impacts are actually more comparable to those of renewable energy, such as wind and solar, and far less than those of coal-fired or natural gas-fired power plants. In the end we can say that nuclear energy could significantly contribute to reducing the cause of global warming. Having said that, it can also be a highly risky option if we shut the eyes to the many risks of nuclear power. 17. What can be inferred about greenhouse gases from paragraph 1? A. They can be restricted within a short time. B. They will reduce people’s average lifetime. C. They will keep increasing for decades to come. D. They have a lasting impact on global warming. 18. What is the purpose of the IEA’s investigation? A. To analyze the impact of global warming. B. To identify ways to reduce CO₂ emissions. C. To predict future energy consumption worldwide. D. To promote construction of nuclear power plants. 19. What is the author’s attitude towards nuclear energy? A. Tolerant. B. Objective. C. Disapproving. D. Conservative. 20. What is the best title for the text? A. Solutions to Dealing with CO₂ Emissions B. IEA Energy Outlook for Decades to Come C. Is Nuclear Energy the Answer to Global Warming? D. How Can Human Beings Survive Global Warming? 【答案】17. D 18. B 19. B 20. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章探讨全球变暖与温室气体排放，聚焦核能在减少排放、缓解变暖方面的作用及风险，提出核能是否是应对之策的疑问 。 【17题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段第三句“This means that even if we stopped the emission of greenhouse gases completely tomorrow, global warming would still continue for decades to come.(这意味着，即使我们明天完全停止排放温室气体，全球变暖仍将在未来几十年继续)”可知，即使不再排放温室气体，全球变暖还会持续几十年。由此推知，温室气体对全球变暖有着持久的影响。故选D项。 【18题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段第三句“Additionally, IEA investigated to which extent the above mentioned emissions of CO₂ could be prevented if politics applied strict measures.(此外，国际能源署调查了如果各国政府采取严格措施，上述二氧化碳排放可以在多大程度上得到预防)”可知，国际能源署调查的目的是确定减少二氧化碳排放的方法。故选B项。 【19题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In the end we can say that nuclear energy could significantly contribute to reducing the cause of global warming. Having said that, it can also be a highly risky option if we shut the eyes to the many risks of nuclear power.(最后，我们可以说，核能可以显著地有助于减少全球变暖的原因。话虽如此，如果我们对核能的许多风险视而不见，它也可能是一个风险极高的选择)”可知，作者既提到了核能有助于减少全球变暖的积极作用，又指出了忽视核能风险的危险性。由此推知，作者对核能的态度是客观的。故选B项。 【20题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要讨论了全球变暖是由温室气体排放增加引起的，为了减少二氧化碳排放，国际能源署进行了调查，其中提到建设核电站这一措施，接着分析了核能在减少全球变暖方面的作用以及存在的风险，所以文章主要围绕核能是否是解决全球变暖问题的答案展开讨论。由此可知，Is Nuclear Energy the Answer to Global Warming?最适合作本文最佳标题。故选C项。 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。 Four ways to adopt a minimalistic lifestyle A minimalist lifestyle is intentionally living with fewer possessions — focusing only on the ones you need.

Go through your appliances, silverware, bowls, plates and tools, and drop any that you don’t use. For items like plates and silverware, try not to keep more than you need. ____23____ For example, a toaster oven that also has an air fry option or a food processor that also works as a blender. Minimalist wardrobe (衣柜) One of the easiest ways to begin getting your wardrobe smaller is by trying everything on. Get rid of anything that doesn’t fit or that you don’t feel confident in. ____24____.

E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了采用极简主义生活方式的四种方法，包括清理、厨房整理、精简衣柜及调整思维方式，助力简约生活。 【21题详解】 由上文“Decluttering (清理)”可知，这一部分的主题是清理。D项A good place to begin may be tidying up your physical space.(一个好的开始可能是整理你的物质空间)符合此处语境，tidying up your physical space是对Decluttering的具体阐述，且begin也表明了开始进行清理的意思，起到了引出下文具体清理行为的作用。故选D项。 【22题详解】 由上文“A minimalistic lifestyle isn’t about getting rid of all of your possessions.(极简主义的生活方式不是要扔掉你所有的财产)”可知，此处强调极简生活并非扔掉所有东西。B项It’s about keeping the most important ones.(它是关于保留最重要的那些东西)符合语境，It’s about与上文A minimalistic lifestyle isn’t about相对应，进一步解释了极简主义生活方式的真正含义，即保留重要的东西，起到了对上文的补充说明作用。故选B项。 【23题详解】 由上文“For items like plates and silverware, try not to keep more than you need.(对于像盘子和银器这样的物品，尽量不要保留超过你所需要的数量)”以及下文“For example, a toaster oven that also has an air fry option or a food processor that also works as a blender.(例如，一个同时具有空气炸锅功能的烤面包机，或者一个还能当作搅拌机使用的食品加工机)”可知，上文说的是物品数量，下文举例说明的是多功能电器。F项When it comes to your appliances, try and find multi-use appliances.(当涉及到你的电器时，尝试寻找多功能电器)符合语境，multi-use appliances与下文举例内容相呼应，起到了承上启下的作用。故选F项。 【24题详解】 由上文“One of the easiest ways to begin getting your wardrobe smaller is by trying everything on. Get rid of anything that doesn’t fit or that you don’t feel confident in.(开始让你的衣柜变小的最简单方法之一是试穿所有的衣服。扔掉任何不合身或让你没有自信的衣服)”可知，这部分在讲整理衣柜的方法。C项And donate any shoes that aren’t comfortable.(并且捐赠任何不舒服的鞋子)符合语境，shoes属于衣柜里的物品，donate any shoes that aren’t comfortable是对Get rid of anything that doesn’t fit or that you don’t feel confident in在鞋子方面的具体延伸，与上文关于整理衣柜的内容相关。故选C项。 【25题详解】 由上文“Maintaining a minimalistic lifestyle is a much more internal process than external.(维持极简主义的生活方式更多的是一个内在的过程，而不是外在的过程)”可知，这里强调了极简生活方式是内在过程。E项And changing your mindset is an important part of achieving success.(并且改变你的思维方式是取得成功的一个重要部分)符合语境，changing your mindset与internal process相呼应，进一步说明了维持极简生活方式中内在思维方式改变的重要性，起到了对上文的进一步阐述作用。故选E项。 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分37.5分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1.5分，满分22.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）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。 I once worked in the remote but beautiful countryside.

As scheduled, the train arrived at the station ________ (precise) at 8 o’clock. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】precisely 【解析】 【详解】考查副词。句意：火车按计划在8点钟准时到达车站。分析句式结构可知，此处用提示词的副词形式precisely作状语修饰动词arrived表示“准确地”到达。故填precisely。  42. So ___________ (influence) were his research findings that they led to significant changes in medical treatment. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】influential 【解析】 【详解】考查形容词。句意：他的研究成果是如此具有影响力，以至于它们导致了医学治疗方面的重大变革。分析句子可知，这里考查“so + 形容词”位于句首，句子构成部分倒装。influential，表“有影响力的”，为形容词，符合语境，正常语序是His research findings were so influential that they led to significant changes in medical treatment。故填influential。 43. Our school has organized___________number of cultural events to enrich students’ life. (用适当的词填空) 【答案】a 【解析】 【详解】考查冠词。句意：我们学校组织了许多文化活动来丰富学生的生活。根据空后名词复数cultural events 可知，固定短语a number of意为“许多”符合句意。故填a。 44. ___________ impressed the judges most was the contestant’s innovative design concept. (用适当的词填空) 【答案】What 【解析】 【详解】考查主语从句。句意：评委们印象最深刻的是参赛者创新的设计理念。分析句子结构可知，本句为主语从句。从句缺少主语，指物，所以用连接代词what引导。故填What。 45. Visitors from all over the world stared at the famous painting: The Starry Night, ___________(absorb) in admiring its unique brushwork and dreamy colors. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】absorbed 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：来自世界各地的游客凝视着这幅名画：《星夜》，沉浸在欣赏它独特的笔触和梦幻的色彩中。be absorbed in是固定短语，意为“专注于，全神贯注于”。这里用形容词短语作伴随状语，说明游客们盯着这幅画时的状态。故填absorbed。 46. His plan for the weekend is ___________(take) his dog to the park for a long, carefree run, enjoying the fresh air and the simple pleasures of nature. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】to take 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：他周末的计划是带他的狗去公园自由自在地长跑，呼吸新鲜空气，享受大自然的简单乐趣。该空所给动词take在句中作表语，解释主语plan的内容，应使用动词不定式形式。故填take。 47.

(用适当的词填空) 【答案】from 【解析】 【详解】考查固定短语。句意：创造独特的艺术作品的关键是要与主流风格区分开来，探索新的形式和表达方式。分析句子可知，此处为固定短语set apart from“使……与……分离；使……区别于……”，满足句意要求。故填from。 48. The teacher demanded that students’ assignments, no matter how challenging they might have been, ___________ (submit) on time. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】should be submitted##be submitted 【解析】 【详解】考查虚拟语气。句意：老师要求学生们的作业，无论可能有多么具有挑战性，都应该按时提交。分析句子可知，demand表示“要求”，其后的宾语从句要用虚拟语气，即“should + 动词原形”，should可以省略。assignments和submit之间是被动关系，即“作业被提交”，所以要用被动语态(should) be submitted。故填should be submitted/be submitted。 49. These activities, carefully designed to enhance learning, all take place under the ___________(guide) of an experienced tutor. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】guidance 【解析】 【详解】考查名词。句意：这些精心设计以促进学习的活动，均在一位经验丰富的导师的指导下进行。分析句子可知，此空应填名词作介词后宾语，under the guidance of，是固定短语，意为“在……的指导下”，符合句意。故填guidance。 50.

(用适当的词填空) 【答案】it 【解析】 【详解】考查代词。句意：汤姆之前没有编程经验这一事实，使得他很难得到那份软件开发工作。分析句子可知，这里考查make it hard for sb. to do sth.，是固定结构，表“让某人做某事很困难”，其中it作形式宾语，真正的宾语是后面的to get the software development job。故填it。 第四部分 写作（共三节，满分55分） 第一节 句子考查（共 9 小题，51-54小题，每空0.5分；55-57小题，每题3分。满分15分） 根据下面各个句子的要求，完成、改写或翻译句子。 51. _________ ________ ________ (拒绝他们) meant missing a potentially great opportunity, but I chose to follow my heart. (根据汉语提示完成句子) 【答案】 ①. Turning ②. them ③. down 【解析】 【详解】考查动词短语及非谓语动词。句意：拒绝他们意味着错过了一个潜在的好机会，但我选择了遵从自己的心。“拒绝某人”可使用动词短语turn sb down，“他们”用宾格them作宾语；该短语在句中作主语，动词应使用动名词形式；注意句首单词首字母大写。故填Turning；them；down。 52. Some fresh flowers, along with a few pieces of unique artwork, contributed to ___________ the empty room___________ ___________ (恢复生机) .

The boy has made a decision that he will participate in the tough competition. （同义句改写） The boy has ___________ ___________ ___________ ___________ to participate in the tough competition. 【答案】 ①. made ②. up ③. his ④. mind 【解析】 【详解】考查句型转换。句意：这个男孩已经决定参加这场激烈的比赛。分析句子可知，make a decision可转换为make up one’s mind，均表“决定”，且这里动词应用过去分词形式与前面has构成现在完成时，one’s这里应用his。故填made up his mind。 54. Art is a window. We can explore the artist’s soul and imagination through it. (用定语从句改写) Art is a window ________ ________ we can explore the artist’s soul and imagination. 【答案】 ①. through ②. which 【解析】 【详解】考查句型转换。句意：艺术是一扇窗户。我们可以通过它来探索艺术家的灵魂和想象力。根据要求可知，这里可改成“介词+关系代词”构成的限制性定语从句，先行词为a window，为物，作介词through (穿过)后面宾语，所以应用关系代词which。故填through which。 55. “ How many friends have you invited to your birthday party?” Mary said to Tom. （改为间接引语） __________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Mary asked Tom how many friends he had invited to his birthday party. 【解析】 【详解】考查直接引语变间接引语。句意：“你邀请了多少朋友来参加你的生日聚会？”玛丽对汤姆说。直接引语是特殊疑问句，变为间接引语时，要把疑问语序变为陈述语序；第二人称you要根据说话对象进行变化，这里是Tom被问，所以变为 he；your 变为 his；直接引语中的现在完成时have invited要变为过去完成时 had invited，因为主句的谓语动词said 是一般过去时，故转换为Mary asked Tom how many friends he had invited to his birthday party. 56. The students had learned about global warming, so they launched a campaign to promote energy conservation.（用分词作状语改写） _________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Having learned about global warming, the students launched a campaign to promote energy conservation. 【解析】 【详解】考查句子结构及非谓语动词。句意：学生们已经了解了全球变暖，因此他们发起了一项宣传节能的运动。根据题目要求，使用分词做状语，主句应该表示“学生们发起一项宣传能源保护的活动”，“学生们提前了解了全球变暖方面的知识”可作状语，所以主句部分表示为 the students launched a campaign to promote energy conservation；“The students had learned about global warming,”改为状语，动词短语learn about global warming与逻辑主语主动关系，动作早于谓语动词发生，应使用现在分词的完成式，所以状语部分表示为having learned about global warming。故答案为Having learned about global warming, the students launched a campaign to promote energy conservation. 57. 养成在空闲时间阅读的习惯对学生来说是有益处的。（to do做主语翻译） _________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】It is beneficial for students to form the habit of reading in their free/spare time. /To form the habit of reading in their free/spare time is beneficial for students. 【解析】 【详解】考查短语、时态和非谓语动词。根据要求，句中用It is + adj. + for sb. + to do sth.结构，it作形式主语，真正的主语为不定式结构；也可以直接用不定式作主语；“有益处的”用形容词beneficial；“养成……的习惯”用短语form the habit of；名词reading (阅读)；“在空闲时间”用短语in one’s free/spare time。陈述客观事实，用一般现在时。故翻译为It is beneficial for students to form the habit of reading in their free/spare time. /To form the habit of reading in their free/spare time is beneficial for students. 第二节 应用文写作（满分15分） 58. 假定你是校广播站英语节目“Talk and Talk”负责人李华，请给外教Caroline写邮件邀请她做一次访谈。内容包括： 1. 节目介绍； 2. 访谈的时间和话题。 注意： 1. 写作词数应为80左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Caroline, ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours sincerely, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Caroline, This is my first time that I have invited you to attend our program —Talk and Talk.

This tidy little park was their go - to spot for unwinding and just enjoying some precious leisure time. Max rushed ahead with a soccer ball under his arm, Ava and Sam trailing closely behind, full of energy. It was the kind of day that promised endless fun and carefree laughter. But as they stepped into the park, their heart sank. The once - beloved playground was now a chaotic mess of discarded trash (乱扔的垃圾) — candy wrappers stuck in the slide’s metal bars, plastic bottles rolling in the wind, and chip bags lying underfoot. “Look at this!” Ava shouted in disbelief as she pointed to the garbage near the swings. Max’s face darkened with frustration. The three friends stood frozen, their eyes scanning the playground area. The once clean slides and swings were now buried under a layer of candy wrappers and plastic bottles. Ava cast a glance (瞥一眼) at the walking trails, where garbage seemed to have taken over, with discarded bags and cans lying everywhere. Sam looked out at the grassy fields — a disaster. The park was vast, but every corner seemed to have been touched by the carelessness of others. “Who would be so thoughtless?” Max whispered, shaking his head. Sam kicked a plastic bottle in anger, sending it flying across the grass. “It’s not just thoughtless — it’s disrespectful.” Ava sighed thoughtfully but suddenly her face lit up. “We can’t just leave it like this. Why don’t we do something about it? We can, say, form a Cleanup Squad (清洁小分队)…” she said, her voice soft but determined. 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。 Max and Sam exchanged an excited glance. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Unexpectedly, other parkgoers joined in as they did the cleanup. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Max and Sam exchanged an excited glance. “That’s a great idea, Ava!” Max exclaimed. Sam nodded in agreement, his eyes shining with determination. Without hesitation, they quickly divided the tasks. Max ran to fetch some trash bags from his nearby home. Ava and Sam started collecting the larger pieces of garbage first, like the chip bags and plastic bottles. As they worked, Ava hummed a little tune, and the others joined in. Their laughter and songs filled the park, making the cleanup seem more like a fun game. Unexpectedly, other parkgoers joined in as they did the cleanup. An elderly couple, who were taking a stroll, saw what they were doing and decided to lend a hand. A group of kids playing nearby also came over, eager to help make the park clean again. With more people joining, the cleanup went much faster. Before long, the playground was clean once more. The slides and swings sparkled in the sun, and the grassy fields were free of trash. Max, Ava, and Sam looked at each other, beaming with pride. They realized that with everyone’s effort, they could make a difference and keep their beloved park beautiful. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章主要讲述了三个朋友Max、Ava和Sam发现他们常去的社区公园被垃圾污染，于是决定组成清洁小分队，发动大家一起来清理公园。在他们的带动下，越来越多的人加入清理行动，最终公园恢复了往日的整洁美丽。他们意识到，通过大家的共同努力，可以保护他们心爱的公园，让它保持美丽。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句“Max和Sam兴奋地交换了一个眼神。”可知，本段主要描写Max、Ava和Sam开始行动起来，发动大家参与公园清理的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“出乎意料的是，其他游客也加入了他们的清理工作。”可知，本段描写越来越多的人加入他们的清理队伍。在大家共同努力下，公园恢复了美丽。 2.续写线索：提出想法——迅速行动——哼歌劳作——众人加入——公园恢复——内心感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①分工：divide the tasks/assign roles ②哼歌：hum a tune/sing softly ③加入：join in/participate in 情绪类 ①毫不犹豫：without hesitation/without a second thought ②自豪：beam with pride/feel proud 【点睛】[高分句型1].

He then left school and joined a firm of art dealers in the large city of The Hague. He eventually realized that dealing with others’ artwork was not his profession. His true love was to become an artist himself. He devoted much of his time to learning the fundamentals of drawing. Van Gogh believed that to become a great painter, one must first master the ability to draw. It was only after he was comfortable in this area that he began to use oil paints. That is when he developed a style and talent for color that made him one of the most respected artists of all time. Van Gogh’s paintings are amazing representations of his view of the world. The colors jump off the canvas, not only because of their brightness but also because of the brush strokes (笔触). Van Gogh avoided light, feathery strokes, which would portray typical subjects. Instead, he used his brush and oils to make layers that built the painting until it was almost three-dimensional. Perhaps one of the most memorable examples of Van Gogh’s use of color and brush style is his painting The Starry Night. The sky swirls (打旋) across the canvas, while the stars shine with unearthly brightness. Each brush stroke creates the image of movement. The Starry Night shows Van Gogh’s great ability to create a powerful image with simple subjects. Van Gogh spent only the last ten years of his life painting. He is believed to have sold only one of the 900 paintings he created during those years. Yet today Van Gogh is considered one of the greatest artists of all time. His influence is evident; many painters imitate his style and use of color. His artwork can be found in museums worldwide and is valued in millions of dollars, an evidence for Van Gogh’s talent. 11. According to the text, Van Gogh learnt how to paint by ______________. A. reading many books about art B. closely observing the world around him C. carefully studying the works of great artists D. acquiring basic drawing techniques 12. Which of the following does the author seem to admire most about Van Gogh’s paintings? A. The images. B. The mood. C. The brushwork. D. The themes. 13. Why does the author refer to The Starry Night? A. To show Van Gogh’s style of painting. B. To prove Van Gogh’s respect for nature. C. To indicate Van Gogh’s feelings about his art. D. To praise Van Gogh’s ability to create powerful subjects. B Group exercise is one of the most effective ways to improve physical fitness and sustain a healthy lifestyle. Group exercise is challenging, yet fun and empowering! Of course everyone knows that exercise is good for the body. However, studies have shown that when exercise is performed in groups, it’s not only great for improving physical health but for psychological health. It’s an opportunity to be social, release endorphins (内啡肽), and improve your strength. Additionally, group exercise creates a community feel and the shared common goal motivates participants to work hard. The instrumental support of taking on a fitness journey with others proves more effective than going to the gym alone. Another beneficial aspect of group exercise is the informational support participants receive from the instructor. Many people fear the gym because they feel lost and don’t want to embarrass themselves. If you feel you can relate, then group training is an even better option for you. It’s a great opportunity to learn more about fitness through the clear instruction and supervision (监督) of a fitness instructor. If you’re tired of wandering around the gym, wasting time and becoming bored, you can attend an upbeat group fitness class that’ll keep your workout on track. Don’t let fitness frighten you! If you’re serious about wanting to live a healthy lifestyle, it’s extremely important to surround yourself with people who’ll provide you with the proper emotional support. I wouldn’t scold anyone for deciding to party on weekends and in turn I wouldn’t expect anyone to give offence (冒犯) to me for focusing on my health. Surround yourself with people who uplift, encourage and understand you! Make fitness even more fun by trying something new or any group fitness class, with a friend. Plan to go for a jog together. Then try a fun healthy restaurant or fresh juice bar! Fitness can be both fun and social! Surrounding yourself with people who’ll provide you with respect support can be very beneficial while working towards reaching health and fitness goals. First, decide to do it for yourself and work towards staying positive. Then make sure the people you surround yourself with are supportive. Don’t let negativity ruin your motivation. 14. The first paragraph focuses on _________. A. the greatest challenge of group exercise B. the most effective way to improve physical fitness C. the contribution of group exercise to psychological health D. the shared common goal in performing exercise in groups 15. The underlined word “upbeat” in the second paragraph probably means ________. A. average B. cheerful C. thorough D. permanent 16. When it comes to emotional support, the author thinks it necessary __________. A. to sustain a colorful lifestyle B. to party on weekends with positive people C. to try a fun healthy restaurant regularly D. to surround yourself with supportive people C Global warming is mainly caused by the increased emission of greenhouse gases, in particular carbon dioxide produced by power stations that use huge amounts of fossil fuel to supply us with electricity. These greenhouse gases have an average lifetime in the atmosphere of 50 to 200 years. This means that even if we stopped the emission of greenhouse gases completely tomorrow, global warming would still continue for decades to come. The International Energy Agency(IEA) records the energy consumption worldwide and produces a forecast for the next 25 years. In their last energy outlook published in 2006, IEA predicted a strong increase of the carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 as a consequence of the increasing demand for energy worldwide. Additionally, IEA investigated to which extent the above mentioned emissions of CO₂ could be prevented if politics applied strict measures. One of many measures investigated was massive facilitation and stimulation for building additional nuclear power plants (核电站). Nuclear energy is used to generate electrical power without any sort of fossil fuel involved in the process. Therefore, CO₂ emission can indeed be reduced, if electricity power plants driven by fossil fuels were replaced by nuclear power plants. Yet, the application of nuclear power is highly risky and problematic; and so the problem of CO2 emissions must not be looked at independently of all other risks and problems. Some critics claim that nuclear energy’s emissions can compare to those of fossil-fuels’ when the life cycle impacts of nuclear power are considered. Although nuclear power plants do not release greenhouse gases when generating electricity, certain processes used to build and fuel the plants do, such as transporting the fuel to the plants in trucks. However, dozens of studies show that nuclear plants’ life cycle impacts are actually more comparable to those of renewable energy, such as wind and solar, and far less than those of coal-fired or natural gas-fired power plants. In the end we can say that nuclear energy could significantly contribute to reducing the cause of global warming. Having said that, it can also be a highly risky option if we shut the eyes to the many risks of nuclear power. 17. What can be inferred about greenhouse gases from paragraph 1? A.

This tidy little park was their go - to spot for unwinding and just enjoying some precious leisure time. Max rushed ahead with a soccer ball under his arm, Ava and Sam trailing closely behind, full of energy. It was the kind of day that promised endless fun and carefree laughter. But as they stepped into the park, their heart sank. The once - beloved playground was now a chaotic mess of discarded trash (乱扔的垃圾) — candy wrappers stuck in the slide’s metal bars, plastic bottles rolling in the wind, and chip bags lying underfoot. “Look at this!” Ava shouted in disbelief as she pointed to the garbage near the swings. Max’s face darkened with frustration. The three friends stood frozen, their eyes scanning the playground area. The once clean slides and swings were now buried under a layer of candy wrappers and plastic bottles. Ava cast a glance (瞥一眼) at the walking trails, where garbage seemed to have taken over, with discarded bags and cans lying everywhere. Sam looked out at the grassy fields — a disaster. The park was vast, but every corner seemed to have been touched by the carelessness of others. “Who would be so thoughtless?” Max whispered, shaking his head. Sam kicked a plastic bottle in anger, sending it flying across the grass. “It’s not just thoughtless — it’s disrespectful.” Ava sighed thoughtfully but suddenly her face lit up. “We can’t just leave it like this. Why don’t we do something about it? We can, say, form a Cleanup Squad (清洁小分队)…” she said, her voice soft but determined. 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。 Max and Sam exchanged an excited glance. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Unexpectedly, other parkgoers joined in as they did the cleanup. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$第一节听力理解每段播放两遍，各段后有几个小题，各段播放前每小题有5秒钟的阅题时间。请根据各段播放内容及其相关小题，在5秒钟内从题中所给的ABC项中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。听下面一段对话，回答第1至2题。Text one, what are we doing today?
