EMERGENCY TRAUMA CARE
HELP SUPPORT OUR MEDICAL TEAMS TODAY
“At Nasser hospital, we provide trauma (创伤) surgery and burns care to patients. One Saturday, we received hundreds of injured.
It was chaos. Our team went to the emergency room. One of the injured was a three-year-old girl. She was breathing. But as I rolled down her dressing, I found that her entire left thigh (大腿) was open to the bone.
Seconds later, the doors crashed open. Four to five injured people were brought in, most of whom were first-aid responders.

I switched to a flip phone (翻盖手机). It vastly improved my life. I felt empty and frustrated at how much time I spent on my smartphone. So I spent the last five years steadily stripping my phone down to the basics. Social media was the first to go, then email, then news apps, and then even internet browsers.
I long considered switching to a flip phone, but I always found an excuse to stay. Ultimately it was two of my students, 15- and 18-year-old sisters, who pushed me over the edge. Word spread around school that they had bought flip phones. If they were brave enough to take the plunge, I could, too. I spent $9 on a flip phone, plus $120 for a year of unlimited talk and text on a new number. For the last five months, I haven’t carried a smartphone with me, just my flip phone.
This is the charming, romantic side of owning a flip phone: more conversations, more eye contact, more connection. The separation between work and life is much more noticeable. I don’t overthink work emails all day, since I no longer carry my work email in my pocket. I am living more like my creative, curious, phone-free children.
This all sounds wonderful because it is wonderful. And now it’s confession time: I still have my smartphone. As it turns out, our addiction to smartphones is not just on an individual level. Intentionally or not, we have built structures that depend upon smartphone access, making it an essential feature of modern life. While most of the flip phone inconveniences are charming, some of them are so frustrating that they make you want to pull your hair out.
Despite that, I will continue to use a flip phone as my primary phone so I don’t have to carry a smartphone with me. And I will continue to evangelize for it. I hope many others get flip phones. We will all be better for it. If nothing else, it’ll be nice to have more people to talk to in the grocery line.

Reporters rushed to find Rehan Sujeewa Staton a handful of years ago when news broke that a sanitation (公共卫生) worker had been accepted to Harvard Law School. Their various versions of a self-made success story went viral.
Now, as Staton prepares to graduate, he wants to make one thing crystal clear: It wasn’t just him, but the people around him that made it all possible in very direct and sometimes surprising ways. “I worked for a trash company, where my co-workers told me that I should go to college instead. I had a boss who let me leave work and go to school. I had a cousin who helped me study for the Law School Admission Test. My brother dropped out of college to help with the family finances. My dad sacrificed a lot for me. I could keep going down this list. I got lucky, but I made the most of my luck,” he said.
From early on Staton understood the instability of life. He and his brother were raised by their dad. The family of three struggled to make ends meet. After high school, Staton got a job at a trash and recycling company. It motivated him to find his way to the University of Maryland while continuing to work. Staton cleaned garbage containers and collected trash from 4 a.m. until 7 a.m., and after that, he would go to classes. The desire for a better life for him and his family was the main reason Staton applied to law school.
At Harvard Law School, Staton found a community of professors, classmates, administrators and staff who helped him to get through. To show his gratitude to the service staff, he raised money to give $100 gift certificates to each service worker of Harvard Law School and founded “The Reciprocity (互助) Effect” to honor other such workers at universities and corporate institutions.
“I didn’t want to change after going to Law School,” he said. “The allure (诱惑) is huge. I went to work in fancy place. I made cool connections and friendships. But I don’t want to forget who I am.”
8. What made Staton the focus of reporters’ attention?
A. His popularity on social media. B. His job as a cleaner.
C. His admission to Harvard. D. His donation to service workers.
9. Staton believes his success is due to __________.
A. luck B. personal talent C. others’ help D. academic environment
10. Staton refused to change after law school to __________.
A. stay true to himself B. avoid challenges C. please his family D. focus on wealth
11. What can we learn from the story?
A. A rising tide lifts all boats. B. Two heads are better than one.
C. The early bird catches the worm. D. A grateful heart is a beginning of greatness.
D
Sometimes, what my seven-year-old tabby cat Ophelia wants is obvious. Crying in front of her empty food bowl at dinner time clearly indicates she’s at risk of starvation. Other times, though, her meows are a complete and total mystery.
That’s where Sergei Dreizin and Mark Boyes, computer scientists at Akvelon, a software engineering company based in Bellevue, Washington, say they can help. They are the brains behind the MeowTalk app, which aims to “give cat owners the best tools available” for interpreting their pet’s needs.
When Boyes and Dreizin were looking for data to inform their new app, they came across 2019 research that revealed cat meows contain certain shared characteristics. The study authors then built a computer program to analyze audio recordings of 21 adult cats meowing.
The MeowTalk founders used these audio recordings of tens of thousands of meows to develop their computer models, which is fueled by artificial intelligence. And it worked. 2021 study found MeowTalk can classify nine feline (猫科的) phrases with 90 percent accuracy.
The free app records your feline’s meows and translates them into a small range of phrases, such as “I’m annoyed.” and “Feed me!” Users can rate the accuracy of MeowTalk’s translations, which further improves the computer model. Launched in November 2020, the app has been downloaded over 20 million times, and Dreizin estimates that the program has analyzed over a billion meows to date. “We’re the largest depositors of meows in this galaxy,” he quips.
The app is part of an expanding suite of technologies designed to help us communicate with our furry friends. Another is FluentPet, which trains your pet to press buttons to communicate a need; for instance, a cat can learn to press a button that says the word “play”.
Cat behaviorist and communication expert Charlotte de Mouzon isn’t convinced of these products’ accuracy, but strengthening your relationship with your cat is always a wise goal. “If people play with the app, maybe they will become more attentive to their cats,” says de Mouzon, of Paris Nanterre University.
12. How can computer scientists at Akvelon help cat owners?
A. By making cats’ needs fulfilled.
B. By getting cats rid of starvation.
C. By filling the empty food bowls.
D. By solving the mysteries of cats’ meows.
13. What can be inferred from paragraph 5?
A. Users think the app very helpful.
B. Users can help to promote the app.
C. Dreizin thinks the app is the most accurate.
D. The program has analyzed billions of meows.
14. What’s Charlotte’s attitude to this kind of apps?
A. Doubtful. B. Conservative. C. Positive. D. Negative.
15. What is the purpose of the the text?
A. To comment on two apps.
B. To compare two similar apps.
C. To introduce the new technology.
D. To recommend an app to cats’ owners.

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答案。选项中有两项为多余选项。
When high school students spend time memorizing and reciting a poem, they develop confidence by engaging deeply with language. Here are my five Cs — things I’ve observed from several years of teaching students through Poetry Out Loud, from selecting a poem to performing at the state competition.
____16____ This is the first step of the exercise. Students learn how to search for poems, and they have complete discretion over the poem they will perform. Students often gravitate to poems that fit their reading level and also match a personal interest or philosophy, which is great. But there are also lots of unexpected mismatches that end up stretching students’ skills in ways a teacher could not work out.
Concrete learning task. Learning just one poem well gives students a finite and concentrated experience with language. And every student can learn one poem. I’ve seen students with all manner of challenges get up and do something they thought was impossible, ____17____
Continuing learning. Students learn a poem that will likely stay with them for years, if not forever. Poems contain mysteries and complexities that reveal themselves slowly — and sometimes even suddenly — over time. ____18____
Confidence. ____19____ All students need to be able to speak effectively in front of others. Performing a poem is a bit like acting. Students learn elements of physical presence, voice, speed, volume, and tone without having to present their own work, which is more frightening for most students.
Challenging memory and recall. Students are not asked to memorize much anymore, yet many of them take pleasure in the act of repetition and remembering. ____20____ For English language learners, many autistic students, and other exceptional learners, reciting poetry is an especially powerful way to understand language and build confidence. For our kids who need small victories, mastering one poem is a welcome relief.
A. Chance.
B. Choice.
C. so you can rely on it that you can recite poems.
D. Therefore, it is a lasting course to learn poems.
E. in large part because it involves a single, repeated exercise.
F. Recitation is the perfect introduction to public speaking skills.
G. They like testing themselves and realizing that they can in fact recall lines.

“You afraid of heights?” my dad asked, as I climbed up the seemingly ____21____ ladder to the second-story rooftop. I was up there to help him fix our TV ____22____. “Not yet,” I replied, as he climbed up after me with tools in hand. I didn’t have much to do up there on the roof — mostly I just held the antenna still and handed my dad ____23____ — so I began to talk to him as he worked, which put me ____24____. I could always talk to my dad. Most of my peers would be embarrassed to have their dad ____25____ them, but not me; in fact, I took great pride in him.
After he finished working on the antenna, we went inside. As I ____26____ my room, I saw my dad working ____27____ at his computer in his study, which was adjacent (邻近的) to my bedroom. As I watched him, I had the most incredible ____28____ to just poke my head in and tell him that I loved him. ____29____, I quickly brushed that urge away and continued on into my room. I couldn’t possibly say to him “I love you”, but I really ____30____ to.
The next day seemed like any other. After school, my mom ____31____ me at the front door, with her face streaming with ____32____. She told me, in the ____33____ voice she could manage, the worst news of my life. “Dad’s dead.” I just stood there as she hugged me, unable to move or ____34____.
I never really told my dad I loved him. I ____35____ I had. I miss him very much.

Unexpected Hike
It was a sunny weekend, and a group of high-school students from Class 10, led by their enthusiastic teacher Mr. Brown, set out for a hiking trip in the nearby mountains. Among them were Alex, a curious and adventurous boy, and his reserved but intelligent classmate, Maya. Everyone was in high spirits, chatting and laughing as they walked along the well-marked trail.
As they hiked deeper into the mountains, the beautiful scenery around them was breathtaking. Lush green trees towered above, and colorful wildflowers dotted the path. The students stopped occasionally to take pictures, trying to capture the beauty of nature. Alex, always eager to explore, would run ahead a little, then wait impatiently for the rest of the group.
After a few hours of hiking they reached a fork in the trail. Mr. Brown, checking the map, told the students that the left path would lead them to a magnificent waterfall, while the right one would take them back to the starting point. Most of the students voted to go left and see the waterfall. However, Maya, who had been quietly observing the weather, noticed some dark clouds gathering in the distance. She worried that a storm might be approaching and suggested they return. But her voice was drowned out by the excited chatter of her classmates, and they decided to continue on the left path.
As they got closer to the waterfall, the sound of rushing water grew louder. Just as they were about to reach their destination, large raindrops began to fall. In no time, it turned into a heavy downpour. The path, which was muddy to begin with, became slippery and dangerous. The students huddled together, not knowing what to do next. Mr. Brown tried to keep everyone calm, but the situation was getting out of control.
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。
Alex, who was usually so fearless, now started to feel a bit scared.

Suddenly, Maya remembered something she had learned in a survival course.

I switched to a flip phone (翻盖手机). It vastly improved my life. I felt empty and frustrated at how much time I spent on my smartphone. So I spent the last five years steadily stripping my phone down to the basics. Social media was the first to go, then email, then news apps, and then even internet browsers.
I long considered switching to a flip phone, but I always found an excuse to stay. Ultimately it was two of my students, 15- and 18-year-old sisters, who pushed me over the edge. Word spread around school that they had bought flip phones. If they were brave enough to take the plunge, I could, too. I spent $9 on a flip phone, plus $120 for a year of unlimited talk and text on a new number. For the last five months, I haven’t carried a smartphone with me, just my flip phone.
This is the charming, romantic side of owning a flip phone: more conversations, more eye contact, more connection. The separation between work and life is much more noticeable. I don’t overthink work emails all day, since I no longer carry my work email in my pocket. I am living more like my creative, curious, phone-free children.
This all sounds wonderful because it is wonderful. And now it’s confession time: I still have my smartphone. As it turns out, our addiction to smartphones is not just on an individual level. Intentionally or not, we have built structures that depend upon smartphone access, making it an essential feature of modern life. While most of the flip phone inconveniences are charming, some of them are so frustrating that they make you want to pull your hair out.
Despite that, I will continue to use a flip phone as my primary phone so I don’t have to carry a smartphone with me. And I will continue to evangelize for it. I hope many others get flip phones. We will all be better for it. If nothing else, it’ll be nice to have more people to talk to in the grocery line.

Reporters rushed to find Rehan Sujeewa Staton a handful of years ago when news broke that a sanitation (公共卫生) worker had been accepted to Harvard Law School. Their various versions of a self-made success story went viral.
Now, as Staton prepares to graduate, he wants to make one thing crystal clear: It wasn’t just him, but the people around him that made it all possible in very direct and sometimes surprising ways. “I worked for a trash company, where my co-workers told me that I should go to college instead. I had a boss who let me leave work and go to school. I had a cousin who helped me study for the Law School Admission Test. My brother dropped out of college to help with the family finances. My dad sacrificed a lot for me. I could keep going down this list. I got lucky, but I made the most of my luck,” he said.
From early on Staton understood the instability of life. He and his brother were raised by their dad. The family of three struggled to make ends meet. After high school, Staton got a job at a trash and recycling company. It motivated him to find his way to the University of Maryland while continuing to work. Staton cleaned garbage containers and collected trash from 4 a.m. until 7 a.m., and after that, he would go to classes. The desire for a better life for him and his family was the main reason Staton applied to law school.
At Harvard Law School, Staton found a community of professors, classmates, administrators and staff who helped him to get through. To show his gratitude to the service staff, he raised money to give $100 gift certificates to each service worker of Harvard Law School and founded “The Reciprocity (互助) Effect” to honor other such workers at universities and corporate institutions.
“I didn’t want to change after going to Law School,” he said. “The allure (诱惑) is huge. I went to work in fancy place. I made cool connections and friendships. But I don’t want to forget who I am.”
8. What made Staton the focus of reporters’ attention?
A. His popularity on social media. B. His job as a cleaner.
C. His admission to Harvard. D. His donation to service workers.
9. Staton believes his success is due to __________.
A. luck B. personal talent C. others’ help D. academic environment
10. Staton refused to change after law school to __________.
A. stay true to himself B. avoid challenges C. please his family D. focus on wealth
11. What can we learn from the story?
A. A rising tide lifts all boats. B. Two heads are better than one.
C. The early bird catches the worm. D. A grateful heart is a beginning of greatness.
【答案】8. C 9. C 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,文章通过讲述Rehan Sujeewa Staton从环卫工人到被哈佛大学法学院录取并即将毕业的励志故事,展现了他的个人经历、周围人的帮助以及他对生活的态度和感恩之心。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Reporters rushed to find Rehan Sujeewa Staton a handful of years ago when news broke that a sanitation (公共卫生) worker had been accepted to Harvard Law School.(几年前,当一名环卫工人被哈佛法学院录取的消息传出时,记者们争先恐后地去找Rehan Sujeewa Staton。)”可知,Rehan Sujeewa Staton被哈佛大学录取这一事件让他成为了记者们关注的焦点。故选C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Now, as Staton prepares to graduate, he wants to make one thing crystal clear: It wasn’t just him, but the people around him that made it all possible in very direct and sometimes surprising ways.(现在,在Staton即将毕业之际,他想澄清一件事:不仅仅是他自己,还有他周围的人,他们以非常直接、有时甚至令人惊讶的方式,让这一切成为可能。)”可知,Staton认为他的成功要归功于别人的帮助。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段““I didn’t want to change after going to Law School,” he said. “The allure (诱惑) is huge. I went to work in fancy place. I made cool connections and friendships. But I don’t want to forget who I am.”(“上了法学院后,我不想改变,”他说。“诱惑是巨大的。我去了一个高档的地方工作。我建立了很酷的关系和友谊。但我不想忘记我是谁。”)”可知,Rehan Sujeewa Staton不想改变是因为他想忠于自己的出身和价值观,即他想保持自己的本色。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“It wasn’t just him, but the people around him that made it all possible in very direct and sometimes surprising ways.(不仅仅是他,还有他周围的人以非常直接、有时甚至令人惊讶的方式使这一切成为可能。)”以及文章第四段“To show his gratitude to the service staff, he raised money to give $100 gift certificates to each service worker of Harvard Law School and founded “The Reciprocity (互助) Effect” to honor other such workers at universities and corporate institutions.(为了表达他对服务人员的感激之情,他筹集资金,向哈佛法学院的每位服务人员发放了价值100美元的礼券,并创立了“互惠效应”,以表彰大学和企业机构的其他服务人员。)”可知,Rehan Sujeewa Staton的成功离不开他周围人的帮助,并且他对这些帮助心怀感激,这体现了感恩的重要性,所以选项D“A grateful heart is a beginning of greatness.(感恩的心是伟大事业的开端。)”是我们从这个故事能学到的。故选D。

Sometimes, what my seven-year-old tabby cat Ophelia wants is obvious. Crying in front of her empty food bowl at dinner time clearly indicates she’s at risk of starvation. Other times, though, her meows are a complete and total mystery.
That’s where Sergei Dreizin and Mark Boyes, computer scientists at Akvelon, a software engineering company based in Bellevue, Washington, say they can help. They are the brains behind the MeowTalk app, which aims to “give cat owners the best tools available” for interpreting their pet’s needs.
When Boyes and Dreizin were looking for data to inform their new app, they came across 2019 research that revealed cat meows contain certain shared characteristics. The study authors then built a computer program to analyze audio recordings of 21 adult cats meowing.
The MeowTalk founders used these audio recordings of tens of thousands of meows to develop their computer models, which is fueled by artificial intelligence. And it worked. 2021 study found MeowTalk can classify nine feline (猫科的) phrases with 90 percent accuracy.
The free app records your feline’s meows and translates them into a small range of phrases, such as “I’m annoyed.” and “Feed me!” Users can rate the accuracy of MeowTalk’s translations, which further improves the computer model. Launched in November 2020, the app has been downloaded over 20 million times, and Dreizin estimates that the program has analyzed over a billion meows to date. “We’re the largest depositors of meows in this galaxy,” he quips.
The app is part of an expanding suite of technologies designed to help us communicate with our furry friends. Another is FluentPet, which trains your pet to press buttons to communicate a need; for instance, a cat can learn to press a button that says the word “play”.
Cat behaviorist and communication expert Charlotte de Mouzon isn’t convinced of these products’ accuracy, but strengthening your relationship with your cat is always a wise goal. “If people play with the app, maybe they will become more attentive to their cats,” says de Mouzon, of Paris Nanterre University.
12. How can computer scientists at Akvelon help cat owners?
A. By making cats’ needs fulfilled.
B. By getting cats rid of starvation.
C. By filling the empty food bowls.
D. By solving the mysteries of cats’ meows.
13. What can be inferred from paragraph 5?
A. Users think the app very helpful.
B. Users can help to promote the app.
C. Dreizin thinks the app is the most accurate.
D. The program has analyzed billions of meows.
14. What’s Charlotte’s attitude to this kind of apps?
A. Doubtful. B. Conservative. C. Positive. D. Negative.
15. What is the purpose of the the text?
A. To comment on two apps.
B. To compare two similar apps.
C. To introduce the new technology.
D. To recommend an app to cats’ owners.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种可以解读猫的语言,了解猫的需求,帮助猫的主人与其交流的新的应用程序,并提到了另一个相似技术的训练宠物与人类交流的程序,旨在让人们了解这种新的技术。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“They are the brains behind the MeowTalk app, which aims to “give cat owners the best tools available” for interpreting their pet’s needs.(他们是MeowTalk应用程序的幕后推手,该应用程序旨在“为猫主人提供最好的工具”,帮助他们理解宠物的需求。)”可知,Akvelon的计算机科学家们是通过帮助猫主人了解猫的需求,解开猫叫的奥秘来帮助猫主人的。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“Users can rate the accuracy of MeowTalk’s translations, which further improves the computer model.(用户可以评价MeowTalk翻译的准确性,这进一步改进了计算机模型。)”可知,用户的反馈可以帮助改进和提升这款应用程序。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Cat behaviorist and communication expert Charlotte de Mouzon isn’t convinced of these products’ accuracy, but strengthening your relationship with your cat is always a wise goal.(猫的行为学家和交流专家Charlotte de Mouzon不相信这些产品的准确性,但加强你和你的猫的关系总是一个明智的目标。)”可知,Charlotte虽然认为应该加强猫主人和猫之间的关系,但他不相信这种应用程序,对此持怀疑态度。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段“The app is part of an expanding suite of technologies designed to help us communicate with our furry friends. Another is FluentPet, which trains your pet to press buttons to communicate a need;(这款应用是一套不断扩展的技术的一部分,旨在帮助我们与毛茸茸的朋友交流。另一个是FluentPet,它训练你的宠物按下按钮来表达需求;)”和文章内容可知,本文主要介绍了一款能够帮助人类了解宠物需要的应用程序,以及另一个相似技术的应用程序,旨在让人们了解这种新的技术。故选C。
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答案。选项中有两项为多余选项。
When high school students spend time memorizing and reciting a poem, they develop confidence by engaging deeply with language. Here are my five Cs — things I’ve observed from several years of teaching students through Poetry Out Loud, from selecting a poem to performing at the state competition.
____16____ This is the first step of the exercise. Students learn how to search for poems, and they have complete discretion over the poem they will perform. Students often gravitate to poems that fit their reading level and also match a personal interest or philosophy, which is great. But there are also lots of unexpected mismatches that end up stretching students’ skills in ways a teacher could not work out.
Concrete learning task. Learning just one poem well gives students a finite and concentrated experience with language. And every student can learn one poem. I’ve seen students with all manner of challenges get up and do something they thought was impossible, ____17____
Continuing learning. Students learn a poem that will likely stay with them for years, if not forever. Poems contain mysteries and complexities that reveal themselves slowly — and sometimes even suddenly — over time. ____18____
Confidence. ____19____ All students need to be able to speak effectively in front of others. Performing a poem is a bit like acting. Students learn elements of physical presence voice, speed, volume, and tone without having to present their own work, which is more frightening for most students.
Challenging memory and recall. Students are not asked to memorize much anymore, yet many of them take pleasure in the act of repetition and remembering. ____20____ For English language learners, many autistic students, and other exceptional learners, reciting poetry is an especially powerful way to understand language and build confidence. For our kids who need small victories, mastering one poem is a welcome relief.
A. Chance.
B. Choice.
C. so you can rely on it that you can recite poems.
D. Therefore, it is a lasting course to learn poems.
E. in large part because it involves a single, repeated exercise.
F. Recitation is the perfect introduction to public speaking skills.
G. They like testing themselves and realizing that they can in fact recall lines.
【答案】16. B 17. E 18. D 19. F 20. G
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要讲的是作者通过Poetry Out Loud教学生的几年里观察到的学生学习的方法。
【16题详解】
根据后文“This is the first step of the exercise. Students learn how to search for poems, and they have complete discretion over the poem they will perform. Students often gravitate to poems that fit their reading level and also match a personal interest or philosophy, which is great. But there are also lots of unexpected mismatches that end up stretching students’ skills in ways a teacher could not work out. (这是练习的第一步。学生们学习如何搜索诗歌,他们对自己要表演的诗歌有完全的自由裁量权。学生们通常会被适合他们阅读水平的诗歌所吸引,这些诗歌也符合他们的个人兴趣或哲学,这很好。但也有许多意想不到的不匹配,最终以老师无法解决的方式扩展学生的技能。)”可知,后文提到了符合学生兴趣的诗歌,以及意想不到的选项,即本段主要说明了如何选择诗歌,故B选项“选择”符合语境,故选B。
【17题详解】
根据上文“Concrete learning task. Learning just one poem well gives students a finite and concentrated experience with language. And every student can learn one poem. I’ve seen students with all manner of challenges get up and do something they thought was impossible (具体学习任务。学好一首诗能让学生获得有限而集中的语言体验。每个学生都可以学习一首诗。我看到学生们面对各种各样的挑战,站起来做一些他们认为不可能的事情)”可知,本句为本段最后一句,故承接上文,说明学生选择做不可能的事情的原因,故E选项“在很大程度上是因为它涉及一个单一的,重复的练习。”符合语境,故选E。
【18题详解】
空前说“Students learn a poem that will likely stay with them for years, if not forever. Poems contain mysteries and complexities that reveal themselves slowly- and sometimes even suddenly-over time. (学生们学到的一首诗可能会伴随他们很多年,甚至永远。诗歌包含着神秘和复杂,它们会随着时间慢慢地——有时甚至是突然地——展现出来。)”可知,学诗对学生的影响是持久的,故D选项“因此,学诗是一门持久的课程。”符合语境,故选D。
【19题详解】
根据后文“All students need to be able to speak effectively in front of others. Performing a poem is a bit like acting. Students learn elements of physical presence, voice, speed, volume, and tone without having to present their own work, which is more frightening for most students. (所有的学生都需要能够在别人面前有效地说话。朗诵一首诗有点像演戏。学生们不必展示自己的作品,就能学习物理存在、声音、速度、音量和语调等元素,这对大多数学生来说更可怕。)”可知,后文提到了对朗诵的看法,F选项中Recitation对应后文Performing a poem。故F选项“朗诵是公开演讲技巧的完美入门。”符合语境,故选F。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Students are not asked to memorize much anymore, yet many of them take pleasure in the act of repetition and remembering. (学生们不再被要求记忆太多,但他们中的许多人却以重复和记忆为乐。)”可知,本句承接上文,说明许多人以重复和记忆为乐的原因,G选项中They对应上文many of them。故G选项“他们喜欢测试自己,并意识到他们实际上可以回忆台词。”符合语境,故选G。

【分析】本文是一则新闻报道。无声杀手——空气污染每年导致700万人过早死亡,不仅在发展中国家,在英国和美国也是如此。最新研究表明,我们接触空气污染的时间越长,我们为以后的生活积累的问题就越多。
【36题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:无声杀手——空气污染每年导致700万人过早死亡,不仅在发展中国家,在英国和美国也是如此。此处death“死亡的人数”,是可数名词,结合句意可知此处用复数形式,故答案为deaths。
【37题详解】
考查形容词。句意:无声杀手——空气污染每年导致700万人过早死亡,不仅在发展中国家,在英国和美国也是如此。此处根据后文的英美可知是“发展中的”,是形容词作定语修饰后面的名词,故答案为developing。
【38题详解】
考查it用法。句意:我不喜欢空气不好的时候。此处it是形式宾语,when引导的从句是真正的宾语,故答案为it。
【39题详解】
考查名词。句意:我认为这确实会影响我的工作表现。此处my是形容词性物主代词,修饰名词,故答案为performance。
【40题详解】
考查一般过去时态的被动语态。句意:在这项研究中,去年对中国各地的2.5万人进行了语言和数学技能测试。此处句子主语people,和谓语动词test之间是一种被动关系,再根据In the study,是过去的事情,所以句子用一般过去时态的被动语态,故答案为were tested。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:他们发现,那些生活在污染更严重地区的人的受到了负面影响,尤其是在语言方面。此处those是先行词,指人,在后面的定语从句中作主语,故答案为who。
【42题详解】
考查词形转换。句意:他们发现,那些生活在污染更严重地区的人的受到了负面影响,尤其是在语言方面。此处impacted是动词,由副词修饰,故答案为negatively。
【43题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意:越来越多的证据表明,空气污染不仅会影响肺部和心脏,还会影响大脑。固定搭配:not just/only---but(also)“不但------而且------”。故答案为but。
【44题详解】
考查比较级。句意:这项研究表明,我们接触空气污染的时间越长,我们为以后的生活积累的问题就越多。固定结构:the+比较级,the+比较级“越---,越----。”故答案为more。
【45题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意:活动家希望这项研究能说服英国政府在明年公布其清洁空气战略之前三思。固定搭配:persuade sb. to do sth.“劝说某人做某事”。故答案为to think。
【点睛】分析定语从句关键抓住两点:第一、找准先行词;第二、看先行词在定语从句中所作的成分。先行词往往为名词或代词,如本题第6小题中先行词为those,再分析先行词those在定语从句中所作的成分,将先行词those带到从句中可知,只能作主语,故确定关系词为who。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整短文。
Unexpected Hike
It was a sunny weekend, and a group of high-school students from Class 10, led by their enthusiastic teacher Mr. Brown, set out for a hiking trip in the nearby mountains. Among them were Alex, a curious and adventurous boy, and his reserved but intelligent classmate, Maya. Everyone was in high spirits, chatting and laughing as they walked along the well-marked trail.
As they hiked deeper into the mountains, the beautiful scenery around them was breathtaking. Lush green trees towered above, and colorful wildflowers dotted the path. The students stopped occasionally to take pictures, trying to capture the beauty of nature. Alex, always eager to explore, would run ahead a little, then wait impatiently for the rest of the group.
After a few hours of hiking, they reached a fork in the trail. Mr. Brown, checking the map, told the students that the left path would lead them to a magnificent waterfall, while the right one would take them back to the starting point. Most of the students voted to go left and see the waterfall. However, Maya, who had been quietly observing the weather, noticed some dark clouds gathering in the distance. She worried that a storm might be approaching and suggested they return. But her voice was drowned out by the excited chatter of her classmates, and they decided to continue on the left path.
As they got closer to the waterfall, the sound of rushing water grew louder. Just as they were about to reach their destination, large raindrops began to fall. In no time, it turned into a heavy downpour. The path, which was muddy to begin with, became slippery and dangerous. The students huddled together, not knowing what to do next. Mr. Brown tried to keep everyone calm, but the situation was getting out of control.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Suddenly, Maya remembered something she had learned in a survival course.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Alex, who was usually so feeless, now started to feel a bit scared. The heavy rain made visibility poor, and the strong wind was making the trees sway dangerously. His classmates were also looking around anxiously, their excited expressions replaced by worry. Mr. Brown was trying his best to shield the students from the rain with his coat, but it was of little use. Alex’s teeth chattered as he thought about the possible consequences of getting stuck in this storm. He regretted not listening to Maya’s advice earlier. The path was getting more and more difficult to navigate, with mud making it easy to slip and fall. Some students were on the verge of crying, and the group’s morale was at an all-time low.
Suddenly, Maya remembered something she had learned in a survival course. She quickly scanned the area around them and spotted a large overhanging rock not far away. Shouting to get everyone’s attention, she said, “Follow me! We can take shelter under that rock.” Mr. Brown immediately agreed and helped the students move towards the rock. Once they were all safely under the overhang, they were out of the direct rain. Maya then suggested they use some dry leaves and twigs they could find nearby to start a small fire to keep warm. The students, now full of hope, started collecting the materials. With a little effort, they managed to start a fire, and the warm glow gradually lifted their spirits. They waited for the storm to pass, grateful for Maya’s quick thinking and knowledge.
【解析】
【导语】本文以一次徒步旅行展开,一群高中生在老师带领下进山,到岔路时多数人不顾Maya提醒选去瀑布的路,快到目的地时突降暴雨,情况失控。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“平时无所畏惧的亚历克斯,现在开始感到有点害怕了。”可知,第一段可描写恶劣的天气状况让大家陷入困境,亚历克斯后悔没听玛雅的建议,大家士气低落。
②由第二段首句内容“突然,玛雅想起了她在生存课程中学到的一些东西。”可知,第二段可描写玛雅利用所学知识找到避雨处,还提议生火取暖,大家重新燃起希望。
2. 续写线索:亚历克斯害怕——情况艰难——玛雅想起办法——找到避雨处——生火取暖
3. 词汇激活:

①遮挡:shield/shelter
