He had already had his first show at a local art centre, showcasing his series titled “Dispositions”, which illustrated his own growth during adolescence (青少年). Yet he wanted more — specifically to start showing his work in a juried exhibition, where a group of art experts would evaluate and select pieces in a competitive review process. That’s when he hit an obstacle, discovering in the very last line of a multi-page application that the minimum age for submission was 18. That rejection became a motivation for creation. “I thought it’d be really cool if I could provide the opportunity to more young artists,” says Nalin. With the support of his parents, Nalin rented a storefront and founded Little EGG Gallery, which is now profitable enough to make ends meet by charging a small hanging fee for any displayed work. In turn, Little EGG helps promote young talent by showcasing their work. Not long after opening, David Griffin, a professor and artist of Ontario College of Art and Design University stepped into the gallery and met Nalin. Griffin regards him as someone special: “a strong young artist with a really excellent idea — creating a space for showing the natural genius of young people. It was a void (空白) in the art world.” There Nalin asked Griffin to help judge an upcoming competition. The first juried show was last spring, and five year-old Jack Gamble won for his abstract painting titled Pokemon. As Nalin was busy with school, life and his own art, Little EGG is mostly open by appointment only, but he’s still committed to growing it with seasonal and themed shows scheduled a few times a year. 4. What do we know about Nalin Kamat from the first two paragraphs? A. He became a working artist when aged 13. B. He drew other teenagers’ growth in his work. C. He showed his series at the capital art centre. D. He was disqualified for a juried exhibition. 5. Why did Nalin decide to set up Little EGG Gallery? A. To form the connection between different galleries. B. To promote artists by showcasing their work. C. To show young artists’ talent by offering them a stage. D. To expand his own business through themed shows. 6. Which of the following can best describe Nalin’s idea of opening the gallery? A. Short-lived. B. Pioneering. C. Unpromising. D. Popular. 7. What kind of person is Nalin Kamat according to the text? A. Devoted and creative. B. Helpful and cautious. C. Knowledgeable and ambitious. D. Humorous and intelligent. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了多伦多青少年纳林·卡马特因为无法参加评审展览而受挫，但这激发了他为更多年轻艺术家提供展示机会的决心。在父母的支持下，他创办了Little EGG Gallery的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“That’s when he hit an obstacle, discovering in the very last line of a multi-page application that the minimum age for submission was 18.(就在那时，他遇到了阻碍——他在一份多页申请表的最后一行发现，申请者的最低年龄限制是18岁。)”可知，Nalin Kamat因为年龄问题而不能参加评审展览。故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段““I thought it’d be really cool if I could provide the opportunity to more young artists,” says Nalin. With the support of his parents, Nalin rented a storefront and founded Little EGG Gallery, which is now profitable enough to make ends meet by charging a small hanging fee for any displayed work.(纳林（Nalin）说道：“我觉得，要是我能为更多年轻艺术家提供机会，那将是一件非常棒的事情。”在父母的支持下，纳林租下了一间店面，创办了Little EGG画廊。如今，该画廊通过向所有展出作品收取少量挂展费，已能实现收支平衡。)”可知，他创办Little EGG Gallery的目的是为了给年轻艺术家提供一个展示才华的舞台。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“That rejection became a motivation for creation. “I thought it'd be really cool if I could provide the opportunity to more young artists,” says Nalin. With the support of his parents, Nalin rented a storefront and founded Little EGG Gallery.(那次被拒的经历反而成了创作的动力。“我觉得要是能给更多年轻艺术家提供机会，那可太酷了，”纳林（Nalin）说道。在父母的支持下，纳林租下了一间店面，创办了“小蛋画廊”（Little EGG Gallery）)”和第四段“a strong young artist with a really excellent idea — creating a space for showing the natural genius of young people. It was a void in the art world.( 一位有着绝妙想法的杰出年轻艺术家——打造一个展示年轻人天赋的空间。这在艺术界是一个空白领域。)”可知，Nalin想要为更多的年轻艺术家提供机会，于是他租了一个店面并创办了Little EGG Gallery，这是一个创新的想法，因此可以用pioneering（开创性的）来形容他的想法。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“By the time Nalin Kamat was 13, the Toronto teen was well on his way to becoming a working artist.(到纳林·卡玛特（Nalin Kamat）13岁时，这位多伦多少年已稳稳走在成为职业艺术家的道路上了。)”、第二段“That’s when he hit an obstacle, discovering in the very last line of a multi-page application that the minimum age for submission was 18.(就在那时，他遇到了阻碍——在一份多页申请表的最后一行，他发现提交申请的最低年龄要求是18岁。)和文章第三段“That rejection became a motivation for creation. “I thought it’d be really cool if I could provide the opportunity to more young artists,” says Nalin. With the support of his parents, in January 2023, Nalin rented a storefront and founded Little EGG Gallery.(那次被拒的经历反倒成了创作的动力。“我当时想，要是能给更多年轻艺术家提供机会，那可就太棒了，”纳林（Nalin）说道。在父母的支持下，2023年1月，纳林租下了一间店面，创办了“小蛋画廊”（Little EGG Gallery）。)”可知，Nalin Kamat在13岁时就举办了自己的画展，并且因为无法参加评审展览而创办了Little EGG Gallery，展示年轻艺术家的作品。这些行为表明他是一个有创造力和奉献精神的人，因此A选项“Devoted and creative(有奉献精神和创造力的)”最符合他的特点。故选A。 C Health is not just about exercise and eating more fruits and vegetables. Keeping proper posture is vital for living a healthy life and avoiding negative health problems. Good posture doesn’t mean your back must be completely straight — no matter how many times you heard warnings to “sit up straight” or “stand straight” in your youth. Actually, the spine has a natural curve (弯曲). This allows the head to be centred over the neck and the body to be centred over the hips, which is their ideal placement for maintaining good posture. Keeping proper posture provides plenty of physical benefits including reducing the chance of getting sports injuries, digestive problems, muscle and stress injuries. It minimizes the amount of stress on all your muscles. Correct posture can improve breathing as well. The inefficient breathing patterns are associated with a slouched (懒散的) posture, in part because such a position forces the body to rely more on upper-chest breathing. By contrast, the belly (腹部) breathing is more efficient and relaxing. This is important because many of the worst health problems of poor posture can take years before they become noticeable. Along with such physical advantages, proper posture can also improve your mental health and your life. “A person with neutral head-level posture is considered as more cooperative than someone who has their head in an up-or-down position,” says Laura Deon, a physical medicine specialist at RUSH University in Chicago. “Good posture can improve communication skills and make your everyday exchanges go smoothly,” she explains. To experience benefits related to proper posture, it is recommended to pay attention to how you sit and stand and to practise doing so correctly and often enough until it feels natural. Besides, wearing proper footwear, doing exercise and sitting on chairs that offer back support could be helpful too. No matter which of these techniques you follow, good posture can be trained with practice. 8. What do we know about our back? A. It keeps still all the time. B. It has a natural curve. C. It looks quite bent from the side. D. It needs to be totally straight. 9. Which of the following is NOT a benefit from proper posture? A. Strengthen one's memory. B. Improve mental health. C. Reduce digestive problems. D. Relieve muscle injuries. 10. According to Laura Deon, how can good posture affect social interactions? A. It makes you less focused. B. It makes you look taller. C. It makes you seem more cooperative. D. It makes you seem humorous. 11. What does the author suggest readers do to keep proper posture? A. Choose soft chairs to sit. B. Wear hard sneakers. C. Keep posture natural with practice. D. Sit on chairs all day. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了保持正确姿势对于健康生活的重要性，以及正确姿势带来的身体和心理方面的益处，同时给出了一些保持正确姿势的建议。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Actually, the spine has a natural curve (弯曲). (事实上，脊柱有一个自然的弯曲。)”可知，我们的背部有一个自然的弯曲。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Keeping proper posture provides plenty of physical benefits including reducing the chance of getting sports injuries, digestive problems, muscle and stress injuries. (保持正确的姿势可以带来很多身体上的好处，包括减少运动损伤、消化问题、肌肉和压力损伤的机会。)”和第五段中“Along with such physical advantages, proper posture can also improve your mental health and your life. (除了这些身体上的好处，正确的姿势还可以改善你的心理健康和生活。)”可知，正确姿势可以改善心理健康、缓解肌肉损伤和减少消化问题，文章没有提到正确姿势可以加强记忆力。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中““A person with neutral head-level posture is considered as more cooperative than someone who has their head in an up-or-down position,” says Laura Deon, a physical medicine specialist at RUSH University in Chicago. (芝加哥RUSH大学的物理医学专家Laura Deon说：“一个头部水平姿势中性的人比头部上下位置的人更被认为具有合作性。”)”可知，根据Laura Deon的说法，良好的姿势可以让你看起来更具有合作精神，从而影响社交互动。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“To experience benefits related to proper posture, it is recommended to pay attention to how you sit and stand and to practise doing so correctly and often enough until it feels natural. (为了体验与正确姿势相关的好处，建议注意你的坐姿和站姿，并练习正确和经常这样做，直到感觉自然。)”可知，作者建议读者通过练习保持姿势自然来保持正确的姿势。故选C项。 D Your favourite foods might not taste the same in the future, and the climate crisis is behind it. In Spain, the black Iberian pigs, which are very important for making special ham, usually eat acorns (橡子) and surrounding grass under oak trees. However, because of heatwaves and a five-year drought, these natural foods are becoming less. So, the pigs are now fed olives (橄榄), thereby changing the unique flavour of the ham. Drought also affects how fruits taste. For example, watermelons and cantaloupes (香瓜) taste different when there’s a drought. Researchers from a Spanish tech centre told a Spanish newspaper that sugars and other compounds build up during droughts, changing the taste of food, sometimes for better, sometimes for worse. Beyond drought, rising temperatures and sea levels also influence food flavours. Typically, warm days and cool nights improve the sugar and acid content in fruits, which are essential for the optimal flavour. However, global warming makes this hard to achieve. For example, Japanese apples are becoming less acidic, softer, and drier due to early blooming and high temperatures during growth. While the food we eat is deeply influenced by the climate crisis, our food choices also cause it. Eating meat and dairy from cows has a big impact on the climate. Raising livestock (牲畜) produces a lot of greenhouse gases. Making animal protein also needs more land, energy and water than making plant-based protein. This may seem like a problem that can’t be solved, but we can break this cycle. The Good Food Institute, a US group, believes people will choose alternative protein if they are as tasty and affordable as meat. Meanwhile, more people have started to take action. According to The New York Times, Will Hlamris, a US farmer, practises regenerative farming, allowing cows to move around freely, using less chemical use and disturbing the soil less, which is more environmentally friendly. 12. What changes the flavour of the ham? A. The harvest of acorns and the surrounding grass. B. People’s need to make the flavour special. C. The shortage of food sources and alternative feed. D. The unique compounds caused by heatwaves. 13. What does the underlined word “optimal” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Strange. B. Best. C. Worst. D. Common. 14. According to the Good Food Institute, people will choose alternative protein if ______. A. the environment changes B. they are cheaper than meat C. they are delicious and cheap enough D. the greenhouse gases disappear 15. What’s the main idea of the text? A. Benefits of regenerative farming. B. Food production affected by climate. C. Livestock’s role in making protein. D. Climate crisis changing food taste. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章指出气候危机影响食物味道，如西班牙火腿、水果受干旱、升温等影响风味改变，同时食物选择也会导致气候问题，不过人们可通过选择替代蛋白、再生农业等方式打破这一循环。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In Spain, the black Iberian pigs, which are very important for making special ham, usually eat acorns (橡子) and surrounding grass under oak trees. However, because of heatwaves and a five-year drought, these natural foods are becoming less. So, the pigs are now fed olives (橄榄), thereby changing the unique flavour of the ham.(在西班牙，黑伊比利亚猪是制作特殊火腿的重要原料，它们通常吃橡树下的橡子和周围的草。然而，由于热浪和长达五年的干旱，这些天然食物越来越少了。因此，猪现在被喂橄榄，从而改变了火腿的独特风味)”可知，食物来源的短缺和替代饲料是导致火腿风味改变的原因。故选C项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Typically, warm days and cool nights improve the sugar and acid content in fruits(通常，温暖白天和凉爽的夜晚会提高水果中的糖和酸含量)”和下文“However, global warming makes this hard to achieve. For example, Japanese apples are becoming less acidic, softer, and drier due to early blooming and high temperatures during growth.(然而，全球变暖使这一目标难以实现。例如，由于早熟和生长过程中的高温，日本苹果变得不那么酸、更软、更干)”可知，全球变暖使得水果的成分有所变化，日本苹果变得不那么可口，味道不佳。由此可知，原先的气候条件可以促成水果达到最佳的风味。由此推知，划线词意思是“最好的，最佳的”，与B项Best意思一致。故选B项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“The Good Food Institute, a US group, believes people will choose alternative protein if they are as tasty and affordable as meat.(美国健康食品研究所认为，如果替代蛋白和肉类一样美味又实惠，人们会选择它们)”可知，该机构认为，替代蛋白足够美味和便宜的情况下，人们会选择它们。故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Your favourite foods might not taste the same in the future, and the climate crisis is behind it.(你最喜欢的食物在未来可能尝起来不一样，而气候危机是背后的原因)”可知，文章主要讨论了气候危机如何影响食物的味道，包括干旱、气温上升和海平面上升等因素。由此可知，D项“气候危机改变食物味道”最能概括文章的主旨。故选D项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Introduce Friends to Other Friends You may find that you have two friends that you really want to introduce to each other. ___16___.

Bring your friends together.

You can choose to do the introduction and say their names, or let them do the introduction. ___18___. Stick around and facilitate (促进) the conversation. ___19___. Meeting new people can be awkward, so you should stay and keep the conversation from fizzling out (失败). If it slows down, mention other things that your friends have in common. ___20___. If your friends do not hit it off, you need to move on. You cannot take it personally. It is not your fault that a friendship did not blossom. Sometimes, people, who in theory should get along, simply do not like each other. Do not push it if they do not become friends. No one likes being forced into a relationship. A. Let it go if they do not like each other B. Spare no effort to boost a new friendship C. You can have one friend stay put while you track down the other one D. However, it may be less awkward and more formal if you do the introduction E. You should let them know why you thought they would be friends F. They may have a lot in common or be in a similar place in life G. Once you do the initial introduction, stick around to keep the conversation going 【答案】16. F 17. C 18. D 19. G 20. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了关于如何将两个朋友介绍给彼此的方法和注意事项，旨在帮助读者更好地处理社交场合中的此类情境。 【16题详解】 根据上文“You may find that you have two friends that you really want to introduce to each other. (你可能会发现你有两个朋友，你真的很想把他们介绍给对方)”可知，上文提到想要介绍两个朋友互相认识，这里应该说明为什么想要介绍他们认识的原因，选项F“They may have a lot in common or be in a similar place in life (他们可能有很多共同点，或者生活在相似的地方)”能承接上文，符合题意。故选F。 【17题详解】 根据上文“If you are at a party or some social gathering, bring your two friends together so that they can physically meet each other. (如果你在一个聚会或社交聚会上，把你的两个朋友带到一起，这样他们就可以面对面了)”可知，本空应介绍把两个朋友带到一起的方法，由下文“or have one friend come with you while you look for the other one (或者让一个朋友和你一起去找另一个)”可知，这句话中的or表明此处存在选择关系，由此可以推断出，该空白处应该说的是另一种选择，选项C“You can have one friend stay put while you track down the other one (让一个朋友待在原地，而你去找另一个朋友)”能承上启下，符合题意。故选C。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Once you have brought your friends together, introduce them to each other. You can choose to do the introduction and say their names, or let them do the introduction. (一旦你把你的朋友聚在一起，把他们介绍给彼此。你可以选择做介绍并说出他们的名字，或者让他们做介绍)”可知，上文提到可以选择让两个朋友自我介绍，本空应提出另一种介绍方式。选项D“However, it may be less awkward and more formal if you do the introduction (然而，如果你做介绍，可能会不那么尴尬，也更正式)”能承接上文，符合题意。故选D。 【19题详解】 根据下文“Meeting new people can be awkward, so you should stay and keep the conversation from fizzling out (认识新朋友可能会很尴尬，所以你应该留下来，让对话不要中断)”可知，这句话提到了认识新朋友时可能存在的尴尬情况，并给出了一个建议，该空白处应该是谈论做完初步的介绍后要留下来，让对话不要中断，由此可以推断出，而选项G“Once you do the initial introduction, stick around to keep the conversation going (一旦你做了初步的介绍，就待在那里，让对话继续下去)”能引出下文，符合语境，其中“stick around to keep the conversation going”与下文中的“stay and keep the conversation from fizzling out”相对应。故选G。 【20题详解】 根据下文“If your friends do not hit it off, you need to move on. You cannot take it personally. It is not your fault that a friendship did not blossom. Sometimes, people, who in theory should get along, simply do not like each other. Do not push it if they do not become friends. No one likes being forced into a relationship. (如果你的朋友们合不来，你需要离开。你不能往心里去。友谊没有开花结果不是你的错。有时候，理论上应该和睦相处的人，就是不喜欢对方。如果他们没有成为朋友，不要强迫他们。没有人喜欢被迫进入一段关系)”可知，最后一段讨论的是如果介绍的朋友之间没有产生友谊应该如何处理，这里提出不应该强求，如果他们不喜欢对方，就应该放手。选项A“Let it go if they do not like each other (如果他们不喜欢对方，就放手吧)”能概括本段主旨，符合题意。故选A。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 In 2018, Julie Silverman developed a bad cough.

If you are struggling to understand how to interpret body language of colleagues in different cultural contexts and how to respond, you may find yourself ____36____ (search) for a checklist of dos and don’ ts. But this isn’t necessarily the ____37____ (great) approach. Besides, you can start your interpretation ____38____ analysing groups, rather than looking at each gesture in isolation. For example, imagine that you are presenting an idea for a new process in a meeting, and your boss is smiling. Many experts would advise you that smiling is ____39____ (cultural) universal, so you might assume that your boss must be happy with your presentation. However, making this ____40____ (assume) without deeper investigation could prove problematic. If you take ____41____ second look at your boss, you might notice that she is also laughing slightly, looking down and moving her pen. This could mean a range of different things. How can you understand your boss’s reaction correctly? The answer is to check that your analysis of their body language matches with ____42____ the person says and how they say it. To understand the cultural influences ____43____ have led to her behaviour, it is first important to understand what cultural identity is. Many people use the terms “culture” and “nationality” interchangeably. However, generalising ____44____ (base) only on nationality can be risky. To help avoid this, the British Council _____45_____ (develop) a description of culture in the last few years. 【答案】36. searching 37. greatest 38. by 39. culturally 40. assumption 41. a 42. what 43. that##which 44. based 45. has developed 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如何在不同的文化背景下解释他人的肢体语言以及如何做好回应，使自己感到更自信和更有效。 36题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：如果你正在努力理解如何理解不同文化背景下同事的肢体语言，以及如何应对，你可能会发现自己正在寻找一份“注意事项”清单。短语“find +宾语+宾补”结构，search与宾语yourself之间为主动关系，所以此处使用现在分词形式作宾补。故填searching。 【37题详解】 考查形容词最高级。句意：但这并不一定是最好的方法。定冠词the后面用最高级形式greatest。故填greatest。 【38题详解】 考查介词。句意：此外，你可以通过分析群体来开始你的解读，而不是孤立地看待每个手势。结合句意，此处用by表示“通过某种方式”。故填by。 【39题详解】 考查副词。句意：许多专家会告诉你，微笑在文化中是普遍存在的，所以你可能会认为你的老板一定对你的演讲很满意。修饰形容词 universal可知用副词形式 culturally“在文化上”。故填culturally。 【40题详解】 考查名词。句意：然而，在没有更深入调查的情况下做出这一假设可能会有问题。作动词的宾语，应用名词assumption。故填assumption。 【41题详解】 考查冠词。句意：如果你再看一眼你的老板，你可能会注意到她也在微微笑着，低头并移动着她的笔。此处为固定短语take a second look at意为“再看一看”。故填a。 【42题详解】 考查宾语从句。句意：答案是检查你对他们肢体语言的分析是否与他们所说的以及他们说话的方式相匹配。此处为连接词引导宾语从句，从句缺少宾语，指的是事情，应用what。故填what。 【43题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：要理解导致她的行为的文化影响，首先要理解什么是文化认同。定语从句修饰先行词influences，在从句作主语，指物。故填that/which。 【44题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：然而，仅仅根据国籍进行概括是有风险的。短语be based on表示“根据”，此处为过去分词作定语。故填based。 【45题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：为了避免这种情况，英国文化协会在过去几年里发展了一种文化描述。此处为谓语动词，根据后文in the last few years可知为现在完成时，主语the British Council 为第三人称单数，助动词用has。故填has developed。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 假定你是李华，你校将举行“戏剧进校园(Drama-into the Campus)”活动。你想邀请在本市另一所中学当交流生的外国朋友Henry参加。请给他写封电子邮件，内容包括： 1.活动时间和地点； 2.活动具体内容； 3.表达期待。 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。 Dear Henry, _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours sincerely, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Henry, I’m writing to invite you to the “Drama into the Campus” activity, which is to be held in the lecture hall in my school at 2 p. m. this Friday.

It all started at “College Colours Day” on August 30. On that day, the primary school students were invited to wear their favourite university’s football team’s colours. Billy, wore an orange T-shirt representing his favourite university, the UT. He took it one step further to draw his own UT logo with pen and paper and put it to his T-shirt. Billy excitedly showed his T-shirt to Laura, a fourth-grade teacher at the school. She was greatly impressed and praised him for his wonderful idea. But after lunch, Billy came back to Laura’s office, crying. Billy was upset and hurt because some girls at the lunch table had made fun of the hand-drawn logo on his T-shirt. Laura knew sometimes kids could say really cruel words. She knew although the logo was not well-drawn and of course not the most beautiful, Billy had tried his best to use the resources he had available to him to take part in College Colours Day in his own way. In an effort to cheer him up, Laura wrote in a post on Facebook, a popular social media website, on Wednesday that one of her students was “SO EXCITED” to show her his orange T-shirt pinned with a hand-drawn “UT” logo, but was made fun of. Laura wrote that she was planning to buy him an official UT T-shirt to make it a little extra special for Billy and ended the post by asking if any of her Facebook friends had any connections to the UT. What happened next made her shocked. Her post spread rapidly on Facebook. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 By the next day, it had been liked and shared thousands of times by students of the UT. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When receiving and opening the surprise box, Billy couldn't believe his eyes. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: By the next day it had been liked and shared thousands of times by students of the UT. Many shared supportive comments and their personal stories. Many more offered suggestions and solutions to help. The news finally attracted the attention of the university itself. It responded by announcing that it appreciated the creativity of Billy’s hand-drawn logo and would turn it into an actual T-shirt, promising to donate all the money from its sales to an anti-bullying organization. The university also decided to give Billy a surprise by sending him a box of UT souvenirs, including T-shirts, hats, notes from school officials and a football signed by the head coach, along with items like notebooks for Billy’s classmates. When receiving and opening the surprise box, Billy couldn’t believe his eyes. Tears welling up in his eyes, he held the things close to his chest, too moved to say anything. He quickly put on a T-shirt with the special logo and a hat and then generously distributed the gifts to his classmates, with everyone cheering and applauding. It was truly amazing to witness such a heart-warming scene. Later, the girls who had mocked him apologized and expressed admiration for his creativity and courage. In her follow-up post, Laura expressed her sincere gratitude to everyone who contributed to this positive experience for Billy. Billy was also grateful for receiving widespread support and proud of inspiring and touching the lives of so many people. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了佛罗里达州一所小学四年级学生比利在“大学色彩日”穿着印有自己手绘田纳西大学标志的橙色T恤，却遭到同学嘲笑。老师劳拉在安慰比利时，在Facebook上发布帖子，希望能为比利买一件田纳西大学的官方T恤。没想到帖子迅速传播，最终不仅为比利实现了愿望，田纳西大学还将比利的手绘标志制成官方T恤，这一事件展现了学校、师生以及社会各界对年轻人创意和梦想的积极支持与鼓励 。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“到了第二天，田纳西大学的学生们对比利老师劳拉所发帖子点赞并分享了数千次。”可知，第一段可描写帖子引发的广泛影响以及学校给比利送去了一盒田纳西大学的纪念品。 ②由第二段首句内容“当比利收到并打开这个装满惊喜的盒子时，他简直不敢相信自己的眼睛。”可知，第二段可描写比利收到礼物时的感受，分发礼物的温馨场面以及经过这件事的感悟。 2.续写线索：引发网友讨论——学校回应——送给比利惊喜——感动——分发礼物——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①帮助：help/assist ②吸引注意力：attract the attention of/draw the attention of ③把……变成……：turn…into…/transform…into… ④决定做某事：decide to do/determine to do 情绪类 ①令人惊讶：amazing/astonishing ②感谢：gratitude/appreciation 【点睛】[高分句型1] Tears welling up in his eyes, he held the things close to his chest, too moved to say anything.（运用了独立主格结构） [高分句型2] Later, the girls who had mocked him apologized and expressed admiration for his creativity and courage.（运用了who引导定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 大通县第二中学2024~2025学年第二学期第一次教学质量检测 高二英语 全卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 注意事项： 1.答题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在试卷和答题卡上，并将条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2.请按题号顺序在答题卡上各题目的答题区域内作答，写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3.选择题用2B铅笔在答题卡上把所选答案的标号涂黑；非选择题用黑色签字笔在答题卡上作答；字体工整，笔迹清楚。 4.考试结束后，请将试卷和答题卡一并上交。 5.本卷主要考查内容：外研版选择性必修第三册U1~U4。 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） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

He had already had his first show at a local art centre, showcasing his series titled “Dispositions”, which illustrated his own growth during adolescence (青少年). Yet he wanted more — specifically to start showing his work in a juried exhibition, where a group of art experts would evaluate and select pieces in a competitive review process. That’s when he hit an obstacle, discovering in the very last line of a multi-page application that the minimum age for submission was 18. That rejection became a motivation for creation. “I thought it’d be really cool if I could provide the opportunity to more young artists,” says Nalin. With the support of his parents, Nalin rented a storefront and founded Little EGG Gallery, which is now profitable enough to make ends meet by charging a small hanging fee for any displayed work. In turn, Little EGG helps promote young talent by showcasing their work. Not long after opening, David Griffin, a professor and artist of Ontario College of Art and Design University stepped into the gallery and met Nalin. Griffin regards him as someone special: “a strong young artist with a really excellent idea — creating a space for showing the natural genius of young people. It was a void (空白) in the art world.” There Nalin asked Griffin to help judge an upcoming competition. The first juried show was last spring, and five year-old Jack Gamble won for his abstract painting titled Pokemon. As Nalin was busy with school, life and his own art, Little EGG is mostly open by appointment only, but he’s still committed to growing it with seasonal and themed shows scheduled a few times a year. 4. What do we know about Nalin Kamat from the first two paragraphs? A. He became a working artist when aged 13. B. He drew other teenagers’ growth in his work. C. He showed his series at the capital art centre. D. He was disqualified for a juried exhibition. 5. Why did Nalin decide to set up Little EGG Gallery? A. To form the connection between different galleries. B. To promote artists by showcasing their work. C. To show young artists’ talent by offering them a stage. D. To expand his own business through themed shows. 6. Which of the following can best describe Nalin’s idea of opening the gallery? A. Short-lived. B. Pioneering. C. Unpromising. D. Popular. 7. What kind of person is Nalin Kamat according to the text? A. Devoted and creative. B. Helpful and cautious. C. Knowledgeable and ambitious. D. Humorous and intelligent. C Health is not just about exercise and eating more fruits and vegetables. Keeping proper posture is vital for living a healthy life and avoiding negative health problems. Good posture doesn’t mean your back must be completely straight — no matter how many times you heard warnings to “sit up straight” or “stand straight” in your youth. Actually, the spine has a natural curve (弯曲). This allows the head to be centred over the neck and the body to be centred over the hips, which is their ideal placement for maintaining good posture. Keeping proper posture provides plenty of physical benefits including reducing the chance of getting sports injuries, digestive problems, muscle and stress injuries. It minimizes the amount of stress on all your muscles. Correct posture can improve breathing as well. The inefficient breathing patterns are associated with a slouched (懒散的) posture, in part because such a position forces the body to rely more on upper-chest breathing. By contrast, the belly (腹部) breathing is more efficient and relaxing. This is important because many of the worst health problems of poor posture can take years before they become noticeable. Along with such physical advantages, proper posture can also improve your mental health and your life. “A person with neutral head-level posture is considered as more cooperative than someone who has their head in an up-or-down position,” says Laura Deon, a physical medicine specialist at RUSH University in Chicago. “Good posture can improve communication skills and make your everyday exchanges go smoothly,” she explains. To experience benefits related to proper posture, it is recommended to pay attention to how you sit and stand and to practise doing so correctly and often enough until it feels natural. Besides, wearing proper footwear, doing exercise and sitting on chairs that offer back support could be helpful too. No matter which of these techniques you follow, good posture can be trained with practice. 8. What do we know about our back? A. It keeps still all the time. B. It has a natural curve. C. It looks quite bent from the side. D. It needs to be totally straight. 9. Which of the following is NOT a benefit from proper posture? A. Strengthen one's memory. B. Improve mental health. C. Reduce digestive problems. D. Relieve muscle injuries. 10. According to Laura Deon, how can good posture affect social interactions? A. It makes you less focused. B. It makes you look taller. C. It makes you seem more cooperative. D. It makes you seem humorous. 11. What does the author suggest readers do to keep proper posture? A. Choose soft chairs to sit. B. Wear hard sneakers. C. Keep posture natural with practice. D. Sit on chairs all day. D Your favourite foods might not taste the same in the future, and the climate crisis is behind it. In Spain, the black Iberian pigs, which are very important for making special ham, usually eat acorns (橡子) and surrounding grass under oak trees. However, because of heatwaves and a five-year drought, these natural foods are becoming less. So, the pigs are now fed olives (橄榄), thereby changing the unique flavour of the ham. Drought also affects how fruits taste. For example, watermelons and cantaloupes (香瓜) taste different when there’s a drought. Researchers from a Spanish tech centre told a Spanish newspaper that sugars and other compounds build up during droughts, changing the taste of food, sometimes for better, sometimes for worse. Beyond drought, rising temperatures and sea levels also influence food flavours. Typically, warm days and cool nights improve the sugar and acid content in fruits, which are essential for the optimal flavour. However, global warming makes this hard to achieve. For example, Japanese apples are becoming less acidic, softer, and drier due to early blooming and high temperatures during growth. While the food we eat is deeply influenced by the climate crisis, our food choices also cause it. Eating meat and dairy from cows has a big impact on the climate. Raising livestock (牲畜) produces a lot of greenhouse gases. Making animal protein also needs more land, energy and water than making plant-based protein. This may seem like a problem that can’t be solved, but we can break this cycle. The Good Food Institute, a US group, believes people will choose alternative protein if they are as tasty and affordable as meat. Meanwhile, more people have started to take action. According to The New York Times, Will Hlamris, a US farmer, practises regenerative farming, allowing cows to move around freely, using less chemical use and disturbing the soil less, which is more environmentally friendly. 12. What changes the flavour of the ham? A. The harvest of acorns and the surrounding grass. B. People’s need to make the flavour special. C. The shortage of food sources and alternative feed. D.

According to the Good Food Institute, people will choose alternative protein if ______. A. the environment changes B. they are cheaper than meat C. they are delicious and cheap enough D. the greenhouse gases disappear 15. What’s the main idea of the text? A.

It all started at “College Colours Day” on August 30. On that day, the primary school students were invited to wear their favourite university’s football team’s colours. Billy, wore an orange T-shirt representing his favourite university, the UT. He took it one step further to draw his own UT logo with pen and paper and put it to his T-shirt. Billy excitedly showed his T-shirt to Laura, a fourth-grade teacher at the school. She was greatly impressed and praised him for his wonderful idea. But after lunch, Billy came back to Laura’s office, crying. Billy was upset and hurt because some girls at the lunch table had made fun of the hand-drawn logo on his T-shirt. Laura knew sometimes kids could say really cruel words. She knew although the logo was not well-drawn and of course not the most beautiful, Billy had tried his best to use the resources he had available to him to take part in College Colours Day in his own way. In an effort to cheer him up, Laura wrote in a post on Facebook, a popular social media website, on Wednesday that one of her students was “SO EXCITED” to show her his orange T-shirt pinned with a hand-drawn “UT” logo, but was made fun of. Laura wrote that she was planning to buy him an official UT T-shirt to make it a little extra special for Billy and ended the post by asking if any of her Facebook friends had any connections to the UT. What happened next made her shocked. Her post spread rapidly on Facebook. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 By the next day it had been liked and shared thousands of times by students of the UT. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When receiving and opening the surprise box, Billy couldn't believe his eyes. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
