He thought that perhaps it was time for someone else to take control and improve the team’s performance. He admitted that the situation hadn’t always been easy at the club. But he said that he had always tried his hardest and that some things hadn’t gone his way. When we asked him what he intended to do now, he said that he wanted to go abroad and take a few months off with his family to relax and consider his future. The director of the club said that they would start looking for someone to replace Mister Gobert as soon as possible. Let’s hope they can find someone who can win a match now and again. 第二部分　阅读理解(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) 阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中， 选出最佳选项.

She played sports and loved to read. But one night, Martin was in bed and covered up her left eye. She realized something wasn’t right. “I noticed I couldn’t really see anything,” she said. She went to the hospital. A doctor in Chicago discovered that it was acute macular neuroretinopathy (急性黄斑神经视网膜病变), a rare disease without a known cure. She was declared blind. At first, she had to learn Braille (盲文) to read. But what of sports? She didn’t want to lose that part of her life. “I just really didn t want to give up, and I didn’t want to give up who I was as a person,” Martin said. So, that summer, she competed at the Iowa State Fair, showing her horse. When she returned to school at South Hamilton, she joined the cross-country team. “And once I started playing a few different sports again, it not only helped me grow my confidence back, but it also made me realize just how much I love sports and how much sports can really help with finding yourself,” Martin said. She was determined to keep going. “She chose to run without a guide. It wasn’t easy, but she made it work, running on the team through ninth grade. She made it through the season,” her mother Sara Martin said. “She hit lots of trees. It didn’t t stop her. She wasn’t afraid of getting hurt.” Her parents warned her it could happen, even if she had her sight. “ We’ d rather have you hurt trying something than be too scared to try,” Sara told her daughter. So, Martin kept going. Now, the 18-year- old senior at South Hamilton High School plans to compete in the Paralympics (残奥会). Martin is driven to keep going and keep competing. The fact that she’ s overcome as much as she has even surprises and encourages herself. 24. What happened to Martin when she was 12? A. She quit school because of her disability. B.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一个名叫贝利·马丁的女孩，在12岁时被诊断出急性黄斑神经视网膜病变导致失明。尽管面临巨大挑战，但她选择不放弃，并通过参加体育运动重新找回自信和乐趣。她坚定地选择不依赖引导而继续参与跑步，并计划参加残奥会。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“ A doctor in Chicago discovered that it was acute macular neuroretinopathy (急性黄斑神经视网膜病变), a rare disease without a known cure. She was declared blind.(芝加哥的一位医生发现这是急性黄斑神经视网膜病变，这是一种罕见的疾病，目前尚无治愈方法。她被宣布失明。)”可知，在12岁的时候，巴利·马丁突然在床上蒙住左眼后发现看不清楚了，后来经过去医院检查，被诊断出得了急性黄斑神经视网膜病变，这是一种治愈无望的罕见病症。故12岁的时候，她突然失明。故选D。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“And once I started playing a few different sports again, it not only helped me grow my confidence back, but it also made me realize just how much I love sports and how much sports can really help with finding yourself,(当我重新开始玩一些不同的运动时，它不仅帮助我恢复了信心，而且让我意识到我是多么热爱运动，运动真的可以帮助我找到自己，)”可知，开始参加一些不同的体育运动不仅帮助她重拾信心，而且让她意识到自己有多么热爱体育运动以及体育运动对于找到自己的帮助有多大。因此，选项A符合题意。故选A。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中““ We’ d rather have you hurt trying something than be too scared to try,” Sara told her daughter.(“我们宁愿让你在尝试时受伤，也不愿你因为害怕而不敢尝试，” Sara对女儿说。)”可知，从马丁母亲的话中可以看出，她的父母鼓励她尝试各种运动，并且告诉她尽管可能会受伤，但他们宁愿她去尝试也不愿她因为害怕而不敢尝试。这表明她的母亲给予了马丁很多支持。故选A。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，文章讲述了一个名叫贝利·马丁的女孩，在12岁时被诊断出急性黄斑神经视网膜病变导致失明。尽管面临巨大挑战，但她选择不放弃，并通过参加体育运动重新找回自信和乐趣。马丁的故事展示了她克服困难的决心和毅力，甚至令自己都感到惊讶和鼓舞。这个故事向人们传达了一个积极的信息，所以人们最有可能会认为这个故事是激励人心的。故选C。 C Sending a thumbs-up can be seen as passive aggressive(冒犯的), according to Gen Z (those born between 1995 and 2009) who say they feel attacked whenever it is used. Whether the chat is informal, between friends or at work the symbol appears to have a very different, ‘rude’ meaning for the younger generation. A 24-year-old on Reddit summed up the Gen Z argument, saying it is best ‘never used in any situation’ as it is ‘hurtful’. “No one of my age in the office does it, but the Gen X (those born between 1966 and 1980) people always do it. Take me a bit to adjust and get it out of my head that it means they’re mad-at me,” he added. Other young people agreed it is bad form, especially at work where it can make the team appear unfriendly and not easygoing. “My last workplace had a WhatsApp chat for our team to send information to each other on, and most of the people on there just replied with a thumbs up. I don’t know why but it seemed a little bit hostile to me,” one woman said. One Reddit user also said the thumbs up actually means that “I’ve read your message and have nothing to add and I hope and pray...all the people in this group chat have nothing to say on it too.” Older workers appear confused by the reaction, saying they use the thumbs up in work-related chats to show “I agree” or “I understood and will follow.” Part of the issue is that young people tend to use the thumbs-up in jokes. Barry Kennedy, 24, he said he only used it to communicate with older people like his parents or older colleagues. A survey of 2, 000 people conducted by Perspectus Global showed that a majority of people between the ages of 16 and 29 believe that you are “officially old” if you use thumbs-up or heart emoji. 28. Which of the following point is not the Gen Z’s understanding of the emoji thumbs-up? A. Being rude. B. Being agreeable. C. Being hurtful. D. Being unfriendly. 29. What does the underlined word “hostile” mean in paragraph 3? A. Unfriendly and aggressive. B. Tough and difficult. C. Unwanted and unacceptable. D. Strange and unusual. 30. Why can’t older workers understand the young’s reaction to the thumbs-up emoji? A. Because of their poor communications kill. B. Because of their being old with worse memory. C. Because of their less communicating with the young. D. Because of their different understanding of the emoji. 31. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. The Thumbs-up Emoji: Rejected by the younger generation B. The Thumbs-up Emoji: Highly Welcomed by Old People C. The Thumbs-up Emoji: A Sign of Generation Gap D. The Thumbs-up Emoji: A Sign of Being Aggressive 【答案】28. B 29. A 30. D 31. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲年轻人和老一代对竖大拇指表情符号不同的理解以及原因分析。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第一段“Sending a thumbs-up can be seen as passive aggressive(冒犯的), according to Gen Z (those born between 1995 and 2009) who say they feel attacked whenever it is used. Whether the chat is informal, between friends or at work the symbol appears to have a very different, ‘rude’ meaning for the younger generation.(Z世代（1995年至2009年出生的人）表示，竖起大拇指可以被视为被动攻击，他们表示，每当使用大拇指时，他们都会感到受到攻击。无论是非正式的聊天、朋友之间的聊天还是在工作中的聊天，这个符号对年轻一代来说都有着截然不同的‘粗鲁’含义。)”、第二段“A 24-year-old on Reddit summed up the Gen Z argument, saying it is best ‘never used in any situation’ as it is ‘hurtful’. (Reddit上一位24岁的年轻人总结了Z世代的论点，称它最好‘在任何情况下都不要使用’，因为它‘伤人’。)”以及第二段“Other young people agreed it is bad form, especially at work where it can make the team appear unfriendly and not easygoing.(其他年轻人也认为这是一种糟糕的状态，尤其是在工作中，这会让团队显得不友好和不随和。)”可知，竖大拇指对Z世代来说是粗鲁、伤害和不友善的行为。故选B项。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。由第二段“Other young people agreed it is bad form, especially at work where it can make the team appear unfriendly and not easygoing.(其他年轻人也认为这是一种糟糕的状态，尤其是在工作中，这会让团队显得不友好和不随和。)”以及第三段“My last workplace had a WhatsApp chat for our team to send information to each other on, and most of the people on there just replied with a thumbs up. I don’t know why but it seemed a little bit hostile to me(我上一个工作场所有一个WhatsApp聊天，我们的团队可以在上面互相发送信息，那里的大多数人只是竖起大拇指回复。我不知道为什么，但这似乎对我有点 )”可知，hostile应代指前面“unfriendly and not easygoing”，表示“有敌意的”。故选A项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第四段“Older workers appear confused by the reaction, saying they use the thumbs up in work-related chats to show‘I agree’ or ‘I understood and will follow.’(年长的员工似乎对这种反应感到困惑，他们说他们在与工作相关的聊天中竖起大拇指表示‘我同意’或‘我理解并会遵守’)”可知，老一辈对竖大拇指的理解和年轻人不一样，所以导致他们无法理解年轻人的反应。故选D项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。由文章最后一段“Part of the issue is that young people tend to use the thumbs-up in jokes. Barry Kennedy, 24, he said he only used it to communicate with older people like his parents or older colleagues. A survey of 2, 000 people conducted by Perspectus Global showed that a majority of people between the ages of 16 and 29 believe that you are ‘officially old’ if you use thumbs-up or heart emoji.(问题的一部分在于，年轻人在开玩笑时往往会竖起大拇指。24岁的巴里·肯尼迪（Barry Kennedy）说，他只用它与父母或年长同事等老年人交流。Perspectus Global对2000人进行的一项调查显示，大多数年龄在16岁至29岁之间的人认为，如果你使用拇指向上或心形表情符号，你就‘正式变老了’。)”以及上文可知，文章主要讲年轻人和老一代对竖大拇指表情符号不同的理解。而C项The Thumbs-up Emoji: A Sign of Generation Gap(竖起大拇指的表情符号：代沟的标志)，符合文意。故选C项。 D When you praise a dog, it’s listening to not just the words you say but also how you say them. That might not be huge news to dog owners. But now researchers have explored this phenomenon by using an imaging machine to look inside the brains of 13 dogs as they listened to their owners’ voice. The reward pathway in the dogs’ brains lit up when they heard both praising words and an approving intonation (语调)—but not when they heard random (随机的) words spoken in a praising tone or praising words spoken in a flat tone, according to the researchers. “Dogs deal with both what we say and how we say it in a way which is amazingly similar to how humans do it,” says Attila Andics, a neuroscientist in Hungary. When dogs hear speech, he explains, they seem to separate the meaning of words from the intonation. Then the left hemisphere (半球) of the brain deals with meaning, while intonation is dealt with in the right hemisphere. All the dogs in the study were willing volunteers and were trained not to move in the scanner (扫描器). The dogs could get up and leave the machine whenever they wanted. But it was clear to the dogs that their human companions loved it when they did this very easy task. “They were really happy to take part,” says Andics. “The difficulty of the training was that they can’t move more than 3 millimeters in any direction, otherwise we will have to throw out all of the data.” He says most dog owners have experimented with trying to “trick” their dogs by saying nonsense words in a cheerful, happy tone of voice. “I think the big difference here is that they only heard us, and they didn’t see us,” says Andics, because the dogs were inside the machine. “Here, the only information they had was the speech signal. What we saw is that for praise to be dealt with as a reward, when there is no other supporting information, both word meaning and intonation have to fit.” 32. What is regarded as a reward by dogs according to the study? A. Praising words in a flat tone. B. Random words in a flat tone. C. Praising words in a praising tone. D. Random words in a praising tone. 33. How do dogs deal with what they hear? A. Focus more on the meaning. B. Focus more on the intonation. C. Use information from their peers. D. Use the two parts of the brain. 34. What is a hard part of the training in Andics’opinion? A. Looking into the dogs’ brain activity. B. Training dogs to stay still in the machine. C. Keeping dogs separated from their owners. D. Asking dogs to get up and leave the scanner. 35. Which of the following could be the best title for the text? A. Dogs Understand Tone and Meaning of Words B. Dogs Indeed Know How to Praise C. Dogs Can Recognize Owners’ Voices D. Dogs Can Read Man’s Moods 【答案】32. C 33. D 34. B 35. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章讲述实验表明狗能理解人说话的语气和含义。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The reward pathway in the dogs’ brains lit up when they heard both praising words and an approving intonation(语调)(当狗听到赞扬的话语和赞许的语调时，它们大脑中的奖赏通路会被激活)”可知，当狗听到用赞赏的语调说的表扬的话时，其脑内的奖赏通路会被激活，这被狗视为奖励。故选C项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“they seem to separate the meaning of words from the intonation. Then the left hemisphere(半球) of the brain processes meaning, while intonation is analyzed in the right hemisphere.(它们似乎把单词的意思和语调分开了。然后，大脑左半球处理意思，而语调由右半球分析。)”可知，狗在大脑的不同半球对话语的含义和说话的语调分别进行分析。故选D。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“All the dogs in the study were willing volunteers and were trained not to move in the scanner(扫描器).(研究中的所有狗都是自愿的志愿者，并被训练不在扫描仪中移动)”及“The difficult aspect of the training was convincing the dogs that ‘motionless’ means really motionless. They can’t move more than 3 millimeters in any direction, otherwise we will have to throw out all of the data.(训练的困难之处在于让狗相信‘不动’意味着真的不动。它们不能向任何方向移动超过3毫米，否则我们将不得不扔掉所有的数据。)”可知，研究过程中，狗被要求在扫描仪器中待着不动，这是训练中的难点。故选B项。 【35题详解】 主旨大义题。文章开头通过“When you praise a dog, it's listening to not just the words you say but also how you say them. That might not be huge news to dog owners. But now researchers have explored this phenomenon…(当你表扬一只狗时，它不仅在听你说的话，还在听你怎么说。这对狗主人来说可能不是什么大新闻。但现在研究人员对这一现象进行了探索……)”引入话题：狗能理解人说话的语气和含义，研究者对此进行了研究。接着，下文介绍了该研究的内容和结论，故A项“狗能理解语言的语气和含义”适合作本文标题。故选A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。 Stepping out of your comfort zone (区域) helps you to improve yourself and become a happy and fun person.

David didn’t like this very much. But the person ____58____ disliked this most was his friend Michael. Michael decided that things had to change. So he managed to persuade other people in town ____59____ (choose) one day as the festival for deaf people this year. During that whole day, everyone in town would have to wear earplugs (耳塞).

Unfortunately 58. who##that 59. to choose 60. was called 61. how 62. Using 63. surprised 64. what 65. an 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是一个天生耳聋的男孩David，尽管他因耳聋在镇上常被区别对待，但他的朋友Michael采取行动改变了这种情况。 【56题详解】 考查介词。句意：镇上的人都知道他，他们都很喜欢他。be fond of是固定短语，意为“喜欢”，因此空格处是介词of，故填of。 【57题详解】 考查副词。句意：不幸的是，他似乎总是被区别对待。空格处用副词unfortunately修饰整个句子，unfortunately意为“不幸的是”，位于句首的单词首字母大写，故填Unfortunately。 【58题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：但最不喜欢这一点的人是他的朋友迈克尔。空格处引导的是限制性定语从句，从句中缺少主语，先行词person是人，因此空格处用关系代词who/that，故填who/that。 【59题详解】 考查不定式。句意：因此，他设法说服镇上的其他人今年选择一天作为聋哑人的节日。persuade sb. to do sth.是固定短语，意为“说服某人做某事”，因此空格处是不定式to choose作宾语补足语，故填to choose。 【60题详解】 考查时态，被动语态和主谓一致。句意：这一天被称为“沉默日”。这一天被称为“沉默日”，句子描述过去的事情，因此空格处用一般过去时的被动语态，主语day是单数，be动词用was，故填was called。 【61题详解】 考查程度副词。句意：随着时间的流逝，人们开始意识到聋人的生活是多么艰难。根据语境可知，句子表示“随着时间的流逝，人们开始意识到聋人的生活是多么艰难”，修饰形容词difficult，空格处用how表示“多么”引出感叹句，故填how。 【62题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：用他平常的手势，大卫是最能和大家沟通的人。句中谓语是was，空格处用非谓语动词，David和use之间是主动关系，因此空格处用现在分词作状语，位于句首的单词首字母大写，故填Using。 【63题详解】 考查形容词。句意：他们对他几乎能为任何问题找到解决办法的能力感到惊讶。空格处用形容词作表语，修饰主语they用ed结尾的形容词surprised，意为“感到惊讶的”，故填surprised。 【64题详解】 考查主语从句。句意：他们意识到大卫需要的是比其他人多一点时间来交流。“______David needed”在realized之后的宾语从句的中作主语，空格处引导主语从句，且从句中缺少宾语，指“事物”。故填what。 【65题详解】 考查冠词。句意：正是在这一天，每个人都意识到他们必须给人们一个机会来展示他们是多么有用。opportunity是可数名词的单数形式，表泛指，前面要加不定冠词，opportunity是元音音素开头，因此不定冠词用an，故填an。 第四部分　写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节　应用文写作(满分15分) 66. 近日，日本将核污染水排海的事件引起了国际上的广泛关注。假如你是李华，请向某中学生英语报刊环保专栏投稿，表达对此事的看法。内容包括： 1. 发表看法 2. 发出呼吁 注意：1. 写作词数应为80个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 参考词汇: 核污染水: nuclear-contaminated water ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Recently, Japan has poured nuclear-contaminated water into the sea, which caused widespread international attention.

I decided to walk to the neighborhood store where it sold my favorite thing, ice cream. I pulled a friend towards the ice cream store, almost passing out from the burning sun on the way. As we walked on, my friend kept saying that it was too hot. She thought that she was stupid to decide to come with me to buy ice cream. I felt sorry and tried to encourage her. “We're almost there. Just think of the cool and sweet taste of ice cream in your mouth. It'll be worth the walk,” I told her. But I had to admit that the store was quite a distance from our houses. During the journey, my mouth began to become dry and I wanted to drink. When we were about a block away from the store, I noticed an old lady who was walking in our direction. She was about 70 years old. She had a big back problem, so she was unable to keep her back straight. She was struggling, pushing a shopping cart full of things like the soap, bread and water. With each step toward her, we began to see her appearance more clearly. It appeared that she was often unhappy and easy to get angry. I looked at my friend to see if she had noticed her. I could see that she had and that she disliked the old lady due to the lady's appearance. As we approached the lady pushing the shopping cart, my friend directed me away from the old lady and the cart. I began to observe other passers-by. They were also trying to avoid her. Suddenly I heard a terrible sound behind me. I quickly turned around to see what it was. I found the lady's cart had been knocked over by something on the ground. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Things in the shopping cart like the soap all dropped on the ground. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Then my friend continued walking on while I went to the lady. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: Things in the shopping cart like the soap all dropped on the ground. I watched in shock as the lady bent down slowly and tried hard to collect her things. I turned to my friend and asked, “Shall we go and help her?” “It is not we who knocked her shopping cart over,” my friend said impatiently, walking ahead. I stood there for a moment, suddenly feeling sorry for this pitiful lady. “I'll help her,” I said with determination. Paragraph 2: Then my friend continued walking on while I went to the lady. “Let me help you,” I said as I helped her get the cart up. The lady looked up and said tearfully, “Thank you!” Then I helped her put things back into her cart. To my surprise, some passers-by joined me, including my friend. With everything put into her cart, my friend and I helped push it to her house. If it were not for the incident, we would have had delicious ice cream to eat, but we didn't feel regretful, for what we did was meaningful. 【解析】 【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者和朋友去买冰淇淋的时候，注意到了一个背部有严重问题的老太太的购物车翻了，东西都掉到了地上，作者和朋友帮助她把东西都捡了起来。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“购物车里的东西像肥皂都掉到地上了。”可知，第一段可描写老太太东西掉了以后的反应以及作者对此的做法。 ②由第二段首句内容“然后我的朋友继续往前走，我向那位女士走去。”可知，第二段可描写作者他们帮助老太太捡东西。 2.续写线索：东西掉到地上——老太太弯腰捡东西——作者为女士感到难过——作者和朋友帮助老太太捡东西——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 捡起：collect /pick up 往前走：walk ahead /go ahead 事件：incident / event 情绪类 可怜的：pitiful / poor 美味的：delicious /tasty 【点睛】[高分句型1] It is not we who knocked her shopping cart over (运用了强调句) [高分句型2] If it were not for the incident, we would have had delicious ice cream to eat, but we didn't feel regretful, for what we did was meaningful.

A Antarctica Polar Circle — Discovery and Learning Voyage Dates 4 Mar — 9 Mar 2023 Duration 5 nights This Polar Circle and Antarctic Peninsula cruise (航行) passes through waters travelled by humpback whales.

Days 2-3: Path of the polar explorers Over the next two days on the Drake Passage, you enjoy some of the same experiences encountered (遇到) by the great polar explorers who first charted these regions: cool salt winds, rolling seas, maybe even a fin whale spouting (喷出) high into the air. After passing the Antarctic Convergence — Antarctica’s natural boundary, formed when north-flowing cold waters meet with warmer sub-Antarctic seas — you are in the circum-Antarctic upwelling zone (环南极上升流区). Days 4-5: Familiar seas, familiar friends Your return journey is far from lonely. While crossing the Drake, you’re again greeted by lots of seabirds remembered from the passage south. But they seem a little more familiar to you now, and you to them. Day 6: There and back again Every adventure, no matter how impressive, must eventually come to an end. It’s now time to get off the ship in Ushuaia, but with memories that will accompany you wherever your next adventure lies. 21. On which day can you enjoy the same experiences as the great polar explorers? A. 4 Mar. B. 5 Mar. C. 8 Mar. D. 9 Mar. 22. What can visitors do when passing the Drake? A. Go hiking. B. See seabirds.

B Bailey Martin was like many of her sixth-grade classmates at age 12. She played sports and loved to read. But one night, Martin was in bed and covered up her left eye. She realized something wasn’t right. “I noticed I couldn’t really see anything,” she said. She went to the hospital. A doctor in Chicago discovered that it was acute macular neuroretinopathy (急性黄斑神经视网膜病变), a rare disease without a known cure. She was declared blind. At first, she had to learn Braille (盲文) to read. But what of sports? She didn’t want to lose that part of her life. “I just really didn t want to give up, and I didn’t want to give up who I was as a person,” Martin said. So, that summer, she competed at the Iowa State Fair, showing her horse. When she returned to school at South Hamilton, she joined the cross-country team. “And once I started playing a few different sports again, it not only helped me grow my confidence back, but it also made me realize just how much I love sports and how much sports can really help with finding yourself,” Martin said. She was determined to keep going. “She chose to run without a guide. It wasn’t easy, but she made it work, running on the team through ninth grade. She made it through the season,” her mother Sara Martin said. “She hit lots of trees. It didn’t t stop her. She wasn’t afraid of getting hurt.” Her parents warned her it could happen, even if she had her sight. “ We’ d rather have you hurt trying something than be too scared to try,” Sara told her daughter. So, Martin kept going. Now, the 18-year- old senior at South Hamilton High School plans to compete in the Paralympics (残奥会). Martin is driven to keep going and keep competing. The fact that she’ s overcome as much as she has even surprises and encourages herself. 24. What happened to Martin when she was 12? A. She quit school because of her disability. B. She took up running with a coach. C. She caught a deadly disease. D. She went blind unexpectedly. 25. How did sport influence Martin? A. It helped to lift her spirits. B. It led to-her physical healing. C. It improved her academic performance. D. It helped her regain her sense of belonging. 26. What do we know about Martin’ s mother? A. She gave Martin lots of support. B. She was good at protecting Martin. C. She was always very strict with Martin. D. She was hardly attentive to Martin’ S needs. 27. How might people most probably find Martin’ s story? A. Uninteresting. B. Unbearable. C. Inspiring. D. Amusing. C Sending a thumbs-up can be seen as passive aggressive(冒犯的), according to Gen Z (those born between 1995 and 2009) who say they feel attacked whenever it is used. Whether the chat is informal, between friends or at work the symbol appears to have a very different, ‘rude’ meaning for the younger generation. A 24-year-old on Reddit summed up the Gen Z argument, saying it is best ‘never used in any situation’ as it is ‘hurtful’. “No one of my age in the office does it, but the Gen X (those born between 1966 and 1980) people always do it. Take me a bit to adjust and get it out of my head that it means they’re mad-at me,” he added. Other young people agreed it is bad form, especially at work where it can make the team appear unfriendly and not easygoing. “My last workplace had a WhatsApp chat for our team to send information to each other on and most of the people on there just replied with a thumbs up. I don’t know why but it seemed a little bit hostile to me,” one woman said. One Reddit user also said the thumbs up actually means that “I’ve read your message and have nothing to add and I hope and pray...all the people in this group chat have nothing to say on it too.” Older workers appear confused by the reaction, saying they use the thumbs up in work-related chats to show “I agree” or “I understood and will follow.” Part of the issue is that young people tend to use the thumbs-up in jokes. Barry Kennedy, 24, he said he only used it to communicate with older people like his parents or older colleagues. A survey of 2, 000 people conducted by Perspectus Global showed that a majority of people between the ages of 16 and 29 believe that you are “officially old” if you use thumbs-up or heart emoji. 28. Which of the following point is not the Gen Z’s understanding of the emoji thumbs-up? A. Being rude. B. Being agreeable. C. Being hurtful. D. Being unfriendly. 29. What does the underlined word “hostile” mean in paragraph 3? A. Unfriendly and aggressive. B. Tough and difficult. C. Unwanted and unacceptable. D. Strange and unusual. 30. Why can’t older workers understand the young’s reaction to the thumbs-up emoji? A. Because of their poor communications kill. B. Because of their being old with worse memory. C. Because of their less communicating with the young. D. Because of their different understanding of the emoji. 31. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. The Thumbs-up Emoji: Rejected by the younger generation B. The Thumbs-up Emoji: Highly Welcomed by Old People C. The Thumbs-up Emoji: A Sign of Generation Gap D. The Thumbs-up Emoji: A Sign of Being Aggressive D When you praise a dog, it’s listening to not just the words you say but also how you say them. That might not be huge news to dog owners. But now researchers have explored this phenomenon by using an imaging machine to look inside the brains of 13 dogs as they listened to their owners’ voice. The reward pathway in the dogs’ brains lit up when they heard both praising words and an approving intonation (语调)—but not when they heard random (随机的) words spoken in a praising tone or praising words spoken in a flat tone, according to the researchers. “Dogs deal with both what we say and how we say it in a way which is amazingly similar to how humans do it,” says Attila Andics, a neuroscientist in Hungary. When dogs hear speech, he explains, they seem to separate the meaning of words from the intonation. Then the left hemisphere (半球) of the brain deals with meaning, while intonation is dealt with in the right hemisphere. All the dogs in the study were willing volunteers and were trained not to move in the scanner (扫描器). The dogs could get up and leave the machine whenever they wanted. But it was clear to the dogs that their human companions loved it when they did this very easy task. “They were really happy to take part,” says Andics. “The difficulty of the training was that they can’t move more than 3 millimeters in any direction, otherwise we will have to throw out all of the data.” He says most dog owners have experimented with trying to “trick” their dogs by saying nonsense words in a cheerful, happy tone of voice. “I think the big difference here is that they only heard us, and they didn’t see us,” says Andics, because the dogs were inside the machine. “Here, the only information they had was the speech signal. What we saw is that for praise to be dealt with as a reward, when there is no other supporting information, both word meaning and intonation have to fit.” 32. What is regarded as a reward by dogs according to the study? A. Praising words in a flat tone. B. Random words in a flat tone. C. Praising words in a praising tone. D. Random words in a praising tone. 33. How do dogs deal with what they hear? A. Focus more on the meaning. B. Focus more on the intonation. C. Use information from their peers. D. Use the two parts of the brain. 34. What is a hard part of the training in Andics’opinion? A. Looking into the dogs’ brain activity. B. Training dogs to stay still in the machine. C. Keeping dogs separated from their owners. D. Asking dogs to get up and leave the scanner. 35. Which of the following could be the best title for the text? A. Dogs Understand Tone and Meaning of Words B. Dogs Indeed Know How to Praise C. Dogs Can Recognize Owners’ Voices D. Dogs Can Read Man’s Moods 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。 Stepping out of your comfort zone (区域) helps you to improve yourself and become a happy and fun person.

I decided to walk to the neighborhood store where it sold my favorite thing, ice cream. I pulled a friend towards the ice cream store, almost passing out from the burning sun on the way. As we walked on, my friend kept saying that it was too hot. She thought that she was stupid to decide to come with me to buy ice cream. I felt sorry and tried to encourage her. “We're almost there. Just think of the cool and sweet taste of ice cream in your mouth. It'll be worth the walk,” I told her. But I had to admit that the store was quite a distance from our houses. During the journey, my mouth began to become dry and I wanted to drink. When we were about a block away from the store, I noticed an old lady who was walking in our direction. She was about 70 years old. She had a big back problem, so she was unable to keep her back straight. She was struggling, pushing a shopping cart full of things like the soap, bread and water. With each step toward her, we began to see her appearance more clearly. It appeared that she was often unhappy and easy to get angry. I looked at my friend to see if she had noticed her. I could see that she had and that she disliked the old lady due to the lady's appearance. As we approached the lady pushing the shopping cart, my friend directed me away from the old lady and the cart. I began to observe other passers-by. They were also trying to avoid her. Suddenly I heard a terrible sound behind me. I quickly turned around to see what it was. I found the lady's cart had been knocked over by something on the ground. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Things in the shopping cart like the soap all dropped on the ground. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Then my friend continued walking on while I went to the lady. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$高二英语上学期期中综合能力评估试题。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ABC3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。Text one, I apologize for being late, Bruce.
