Although protecting wildlife may seem too hard at times, even small actions in your own neighborhood can help protect many different animals. Here are some tips on how to protect wildlife through small actions. Create wildlife-friendly areas in your backyard When trying to make your garden more beautiful, you can choose plants that can provide food and shelter for the native wildlife. This will also help cut down on pollution. Besides, bird or bat houses in your yard or garden can attract and shelter more species. Avoid harming the natural ecosystem in your backyard Some plants from other places can kill or harm the native plants that provide food and shelter for wildlife. Have a greener lifestyle By using less water and fewer fuels, you will do good to help protect the wildlife around you. Take buses or the subway if you can, turn off the electric devices when you’re not using them, take showers for a shorter time, and keep the temperature in your room at or below 68 Fahrenheit degrees in winter. Buy products that are friendly to wildlife Don’t buy products that are made from endangered animals. Keep in mind that some endangered animals are killed by traps, or hunters who are eager to earn money with them. Donate money to organizations that protect wildlife and their habitats You can give money to organizations or groups that protect wildlife in your neighborhood, thus promoting their work. 21. What’s the purpose of this passage? A. To show the threats wildlife faces. B. To raise awareness of wildlife protection. C. To explain the importance of wildlife conservation. D. To introduce different ways to protect wildlife. 22. What is suggested in the passage to create wildlife-friendly areas? A. Building a bird or bat house. B. Using less water and fewer fuels. C. Donating money to organizations. D. Buying products made from endangered animals. 23. Which of the following actions is NOT recommended for a greener lifestyle? A. Providing food and shelter for wildlife. B. Taking showers for a shorter time. C. Keeping the room temperature low in winter. D. Turning off electric devices when not in use. 【答案】21. D 22. A 23. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。主要介绍了如何通过小行动保护野生动物的建议。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。文章第一段讲到“Here are some tips on how to protect wildlife through small actions. (以下是一些关于如何通过小行动保护野生动物的建议。)”可知，这篇文章的目的是介绍保护野生动物的不同方法。故选D。 【22题详解】 推理判断题。文章第二段讲到“When trying to make your garden more beautiful, you can choose plants that can provide food and shelter for the native wildlife. (当你试图让你的花园更美丽时，你可以选择能为当地野生动物提供食物和住所的植物)”可知，文章中建议创建野生动物友好区的方法是建造鸟屋或蝙蝠屋。故选A。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。文章第四段讲到“By using less water and fewer fuels, you will do good to help protect the wildlife around you. Take buses or the subway if you can, turn off the electric devices when you’re not using them, take showers for a shorter time, and keep the temperature in your room at or below 68 Fahrenheit degrees in winter.(通过使用更少的水和更少的燃料，你将有助于保护你周围的野生动物。如果可以的话，坐公共汽车或地铁，不使用时关掉电器，淋浴时间缩短，冬天把房间的温度保持在68华氏度或以下)”可知，这里提到了使用更少的水和更少的燃料、淋浴时间缩短以及冬天把房间的温度保持在68华氏度或以下。因此，为了更环保的生活方式，没有提到的行动是为野生动物提供食物和住所。故选A。 B As we grow up, it becomes natural for people around us to lose contact with the hobbies that once were dominant in their lives. While it’s painful to accept this, the new reality becomes normal for most of us as we face new academic, adult and job responsibilities. I’ve been dancing since I was four and I plan to continue dancing in college. However, I’ve always feared that dancing will affect my study and eventually become a brilliant memory of my childhood. After learning about Sommer Gentry’s story, I had an answer. Sommer Gentry, previously a professor of mathematics at the United States Naval Academy and a coach at the Naval Academy’s Swing Dance Club, is currently a teacher at NYU Grossman School of Medicine. Gentry and her husband also started a swing dance community to introduce non-dancers to swing dance. Through teaching, Gentry was inspired to view dancing from an engineering point of view. She said, “I realized it is an engineering question: how do you dance well with someone? It’d be great to give people mathematical and engineering proofs that they have to dance the way I say.” Gentry investigated the complex haptic (触觉的) communication behind the moves in swing dance and showed that two persons could move in coordination (协调) with pure haptic communication, She entered an exciting area of research which is about engineering, psychology and human motor control. It’s incredibly inspiring that Gentry was able to intertwine her academic work with her passion for dancing. Gentry said, “It means that even when I’m dancing outside, I’m thinking about my research project.” Gentry found that digging into her academic interest does not mean letting go of her other non-academic ones. Instead, she found a way to include both in her professional life. Just like me, Gentry is a mathematician and dancer, thus, her story resonates (引起共鸣) strongly with me, and I want to be like her in the future. 24. What did the author think of dancing before learning of Gentry’s story? A. It was too challenging for her B. It’d gradually disappear from her life. C. It’d help develop her sense of responsibility. D. It brought her an unpleasant childhood memory. 25. What contributed to Gentry’s studying dancing from the angle of engineering? A. Her interest in exploring engineering proofs. B. Her husband’s need to promote his dance club. C. Her desire to be an expert in medicine and health. D. Her experience in teaching math and swing dance. 26. What does the underlined word “intertwine” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Hardly balance B. Carefully compare. C. Closely combine. D. Successfully challenge. 27. What does the last paragraph imply about the author? A. She has decided to change her major. B. She will continue to pursue her hobby. C. She used to be Sommer Gentry’s student. D. She originally had little interest in engineering. 【答案】24. B 25. D 26. C 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文讨论了数学教授Sommer Gentry如何将她对摇摆舞的热爱与工程学的角度相结合，研究舞蹈动作背后的触觉交流。作者也是一位舞者和数学家，对Gentry的故事感到鼓舞，并希望能够效仿她的脚步。文章还涉及到人们在成长和承担新责任时常常失去兴趣爱好的共同经历。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“As we grow up, it becomes natural for people around us to lose contact with the hobbies that once were dominant in their lives.(随着我们的成长，我们周围的人很自然地失去了曾经在他们生活中占主导地位的爱好。)”可知，作者认为跳舞将会逐渐从她的生活中消失。故选B。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Gentry and her husband also started a swing dance community to introduce non-dancers to swing dance.( Gentry和她的丈夫还创办了一个摇摆舞社区，向不跳舞的人介绍摇摆舞。)”以及第四段中“Through teaching, Gentry was inspired to view dancing from an engineering point of view. (通过教学，Gentry受到启发，从工程的角度来看待舞蹈。)”可知，Gentry在数学和摇摆舞方面的教学经验有助于自己从工程的角度研究舞蹈。故选D。 【26题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后面的内容“Gentry said, “It means that even when I’m dancing outside, I’m thinking about my research project.”(Gentry说：“这意味着即使当我在外面跳舞的时候，我也在思考我的研究项目。”)”以及“her academic work with her passion for dancing(她的学术工作和对舞蹈的热爱)”可知，此处指出Gentry在外面跳舞的时候，也在思考自己的研究项目，由此把二者紧密的结合。故划线词与C选项为同义词，意为“Closely combine.(紧密地结合)”。故选C。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Just like me, Gentry is a mathematician and dancer, thus, her story resonates (引起共鸣) strongly with me, and I want to be like her in the future.( 和我一样，Gentry也是一名数学家和舞蹈家，因此，她的故事与我产生了强烈的共鸣，我希望将来能像她一样。)”可知，作者从Gentry的身上学习到，自己的职业和爱好是可以相互结合的，由此对作者产生了影响，引发了作者的共鸣，由此作者也会像Gentry一样，在坚持自己事业的同时不会放弃自己的爱好。B选项“She will continue to pursue her hobby.( 她将继续追求她的爱好。)”与原文信息相符。故选B。 C Arthur Lih of Massapequa sold his first LifeVac, a device to help save people’s life, to a fire department about 18 months ago, when the Jericho Fire Department purchased 21 of the devices. Now about 10 Long Island fire departments have purchased Lih’s invention, which is designed to draw foreign objects from the throats of choking victims when procedures such as the Heimlich Maneuver (海姆立克急救法) don’t work. He has sold about 5,000 LifeVac devices in the United States and abroad since the device went on the market in August 2014. The Freeport Fire Department is one of Lih’s clients. It bought about 25 LifeVac devices to put on trucks, as well as in chiefs’ vehicles, said Ray Maguire, the department’s executive director. “It’s an extra tool in the toolbox,” Maguire said. “I’d be surprised if anyone who sees it doesn’t purchase it. It’s that tool you may only need once, but it’s the tool you really want in case you need it. It’s affordable. I have it in my car. I have one at home, too.” Dr. Lee Smith at Northwell Health said that if a choking victim can’t breathe, he or she becomes a candidate for the Heimlich. If the Heimlich doesn’t work, the victim would probably lose consciousness because of a lack of oxygen. A challenge for any new medical device is convincing potential users that it works and is safe. In tests, the LifeVac successfully removed an obstruction (阻塞物) from the throat of a dead human body on the first try 49 out of 50 times, according to an August research article in the American Journal of Emergency Medicine. Lih invented the product in his garage, inspired after he went with a friend to a hospital while the friend’s mother was going through tests. The friend said the last time he was there, a 7-year-old child had choked to death on a grape. 28. What’s the function of the LifeVac device? A. To put out the fire. B. To remove foreign objects. C. To design procedures. D. To treat victims’ throats. 29. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us about the invention? A. Its target users. B. Its practical necessity. C. Its major advantages. D. Its reasonable price 30. What inspired Lih to invent the product? A. A kid’s death. B. His client’s suggestion. C. A garage accident. D. Material rewards. 31. What is the text mainly about? A. A productive inventor. B. A convincing cure. C. An anti-choking device. D. An important toolbox. 【答案】28. B 29. B 30. A 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了马萨皮加的亚瑟·李在听闻了海姆立克急救法无法解救一个被葡萄噎着的7岁的孩子，最终窒息而死的事件之后，在自家车库里发明了一套救生设备，能帮助从窒息受害者的喉咙中抽出异物，他的这套设备有效且安全，已销售5000套。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Arthur Lih of Massapequa sold his first LifeVac, a device to help save people’s life, to a fire department about 18 months ago, when the Jericho Fire Department purchased 21 of the devices. Now about 10 Long Island fire departments have purchased Lih’s invention, which is designed to draw foreign objects from the throats of choking victims when procedures such as the Heimlich Maneuver (海姆立克急救法) don’t work. (大约18个月前，马萨皮加的亚瑟·李把他的第一台救生设备卖给了一个消防部门，当时杰里科消防部门购买了21台这个救生设备。现在大约有10个长岛消防部门购买了李的发明，该发明旨在当海姆利克氏急救法等程序不起作用时，从窒息受害者的喉咙中抽出异物。)”可知，李发明的 LifeVac是救生设备，用来取出窒息受害者的喉咙中的异物。故选B项。 【29题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“The Freeport Fire Department is one of Lih’s clients. It bought about 25 LifeVac devices to put on trucks, as well as in chiefs’ vehicles, said Ray Maguire, the department’s executive director. ‘It’s an extra tool in the toolbox,’ Maguire said. ‘I’d be surprised if anyone who sees it doesn’t purchase it. It’s that tool you may only need once, but it’s the tool you really want in case you need it. It’s affordable. I have it in my car. I have one at home, too.’ (自由港消防局是李的客户之一。该部门的执行主任雷·马奎尔说，他们购买了大约25台LifeVac设备，安装在卡车上，以及局长们的车辆上。‘这是工具箱里的一个额外工具，’马奎尔说。‘如果看到它的人不购买它，我会感到惊讶。这种工具你可能只需要一次，但它是你真正想要的工具，以防你需要它。它是负担得起的。我车里就有。我家里也有一个。’)”可知，借助于客户，宣传这个发明是一个非常实用的必需品，车上配一个，可做到有备无患。故选B项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Lih invented the product in his garage, inspired after he went with a friend to a hospital while the friend’s mother was going through tests. The friend said the last time he was there, a 7-year-old child had choked to death on a grape. (李在他的车库里发明了这款产品，灵感出自于他和一个朋友去医院，当时朋友的母亲正在做检查。这位朋友说，上次他在那里的时候，一个7岁的孩子被一颗葡萄噎死。)”可知，这个孩子被葡萄噎着了，但是去了医院也没被救回来，说明海姆立克急救法没奏效，这个孩子的死亡促成Lih发明这个救生设备。故选A项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Now about 10 Long Island fire departments have purchased Lih’s invention, which is designed to draw foreign objects from the throats of choking victims when procedures such as the Heimlich Maneuver (海姆立克急救法) don’t work. (现在大约有10个长岛消防部门购买了李的发明，该发明旨在当海姆利克氏急救法等程序不起作用时，从窒息受害者的喉咙中抽出异物。)”，以及第四段“A challenge for any new medical device is convincing potential users that it works and is safe. In tests, the LifeVac successfully removed an obstruction (阻塞物) from the throat of a dead human body on the first try 49 out of 50 times, according to an August research article in the American Journal of Emergency Medicine. (任何新型医疗设备都面临着一个挑战，那就是让潜在用户相信它是有效和安全的。根据《美国急诊医学杂志》8月份发表的一篇研究文章，在测试中，LifeVac在50次尝试中有49次成功地从死人的喉咙中移除了阻塞物。)”可知，本文介绍了Lih发明的可以防止喉咙处异物阻塞致死的一套设备。故选C项。 D A recent study issued in Science reveals that misinformation online spreads “further, quicker, more profoundly, and more widely than factual news”. This effect is particularly obvious for false political news compared to misinformation regarding terrorism, natural disasters, scientific topics, urban legends, or financial matters. False news is 70 percent more likely to be reported on Twitter than the truth, researchers found. And false news reached 1,500 people about six times faster than the truth. The study by Soroush Vosoughi and associate professor Deb Roy, both of the MIT Media Lab, and MIT Sloan professor Sinan Aral, is the largest-ever longitudinal (纵向的) study of the spread of false news online. It uses the term “false news” instead of “fake news” because the latter “has lost all connection to the actual accuracy of the information presented, making it meaningless for use in academic classification,” the authors write. To track the spread of news, the researchers investigated all the true and false news stories proved by six independent fact-checking organizations distributed on Twitter from 2006 to 2017. They studied approximately 126,000 cascades — “instances of a rumor (谣言) spreading pattern that exhibits an unbroken report chain with a common, single origin” — on Twitter about contested news stories posted by 3 million people more than 4.5 million times. Traditionally, either the application or the users are responsible for spreading rumors. The researchers conducted an experiment by removing Twitter robots before running their analysis. They then included the robots and ran the analysis again and found none of the main conclusions changed. So what to do? In an interview for the MIT Sloan Experts video series, Aral said possible solutions include labeling fake news much as food is labeled, making unfavorable financial policies such as reducing the flow of advertising dollars to accounts that spread fake news, and using algorithms (算法) to find and control the effect of fake news. 32. What is special about false news? A. It pays more attention to political information. B. It enjoys more online popularity than the truth. C. It misleads viewers with seemingly true words. D. It involves more types and fields than the truth. 33. For what consideration does the study use the term “false news”? A. Value of research. B. Academic tradition. C. Research methods. D. Severity of problems. 34. What might the experiment in Paragraph 3 show? A. Humans are more likely to spread false news than robots. B. The researchers didn’t rely on robots to reach conclusions. C. The number of views of the two analyses remains the same. D. Twitter robots have changed the spreading chain and pattern. 35. Which of the following tips does Aral agree with? A. Advertising to persuade people to identify fake news. B. Labeling fake news about food as much as possible. C. Using AI to locate fake news and weaken its harm. D. Collecting taxes on accounts spreading fake news. 【答案】32. B 33. A 34. A 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了错误消息传播的现状、相关研究及可能的解决思路。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“False news is 70 percent more likely to be reported on Twitter than the truth, researchers found. (研究人员发现，假消息在推特上被报道的可能性比真相高出70%)”可知，假消息在推特上被转发的可能性要比真相高出70%，即假消息在网络上更受欢迎。故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“It uses the term “false news” instead of “fake news” because the latter “has lost all connection to the actual accuracy of the information presented, making it meaningless for use in academic classification,” the authors write. (作者写道，它使用“false news”一词而不是“fake news”，因为后者“与所呈现信息的实际准确性失去了所有联系，因此在学术分类中毫无意义”)”可知，相较于“false news”，“fake news”这一术语有研究价值和意义。故选A. 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Traditionally, either the application or the users are responsible for spreading rumors. The researchers conducted an experiment by removing Twitter robots before running their analysis. They then included the robots and ran the analysis again and found none of the main conclusions changed. (传统上，要么是应用程序，要么是用户负责传播谣言。在进行分析之前，研究人员通过移除Twitter机器人进行了一项实验。然后，他们将机器人纳入其中，再次进行分析，发现主要结论没有改变)”可知，在假消息的传播链条中，推特机器人没有发挥作用，言外之意就是剩下的一个因素——人，比机器人更可能传播假消息。故选 A。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“So what to do? In an interview for the MIT Sloan Experts video series, Aral said possible solutions include labeling fake news much as food is labeled, making unfavorable financial policies such as reducing the flow of advertising dollars to accounts that spread fake news, and using algorithms (算法) to find and control the effect of fake news. (那么该怎么办呢？在接受麻省理工学院斯隆专家系列视频采访时，阿拉尔表示，可能的解决方案包括给假消息贴上标签，就像给食品贴上标签一样，制定不利的金融政策，比如减少传播假消息的账户的广告资金流，以及使用算法来发现和控制假消息的影响)”可知，Aral 同意的做法包括使用算法来发现并控制假消息的影响，也就是利用人工智能来定位假消息并削弱其危害。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选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Many would love a deep connection when looking at a painting or sculpture.

After that, it becomes “information overload” G. Avoid having concepts about what you’ll see before arriving 【答案】36. G 37. A 38. F 39. B 40. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何更好地去博物馆欣赏艺术作品。 【36题详解】 由本节小标题“Keep an open mind (保持开放的心态)”可知，本空要说跟“开放的心态”有关的话题，故G选项“Avoid having concepts about what you’ll see before arriving (在到达之前，避免对将要看到的东西有概念)”能承接上文，符合题意。这一段主题是要保持开放的态度，所以第一句就说避免先入为主。故选G。 【37题详解】 由上文“Boost your chances of finding something you connect with by going to a museum of your interest. If you’re into climate change, pick one showing artworks inspired by Earth conservation. If you want to go to a museum just for the social media, do it. (通过去你感兴趣的博物馆来增加你找到与你有联系的东西的机会。如果你对气候变化感兴趣，那就选一个以地球保护为灵感的艺术作品。如果你想去博物馆只是为了社交媒体，那就去吧)”可知，你想看什么样的艺术展览都是可以的，兴趣使然，不做评判。故A选项“No judgment here (这里没有判断)”能承接上文，符合题意。故选A。 【38题详解】 由本节小标题“Keep your museum visit short and focused (让你的博物馆之旅简短而集中)”和上文“Art museums can be huge. So, be realistic about how long you spend there. You don’t need more than an hour or two. (艺术博物馆可能很大。所以，对你在那里待多久要现实一点。你不需要超过一两个小时)”可知，你应该控制每次看展时间，时间不能太长，如果太长信息量会太大，会影响你的感受。故F选项“After that, it becomes “information overload” (之后，它就变成了“信息过载”)”能承接上文，符合题意。故选F。 【39题详解】 由下文“Once in front of an artwork you like, take time to observe qualities that may not come through on a computer screen, including texture and brushstrokes. (当你看到一幅你喜欢的作品时，花点时间去观察那些在电脑屏幕上可能看不到的品质，包括纹理和笔触)”和“and observe what’s happening in the big picture. You can also move your body — take a finger to the air and trace the movement of the brushstrokes. (并观察大局中正在发生的事情。你也可以移动你的身体——把一根手指放在空中，追踪笔触的运动)”可知，站在画作前，亲身感受画作质地和运笔；后退几步，站在中心，看看有什么变化；还可以伸出手指追寻画家如何运笔，“这才是真正地看画”，通过电脑屏幕那不叫真正地看画。故B选项“Really look at the art (真正地看艺术)”能概括段意，符合题意。故选B。 【40题详解】 由下文“and observe what’s happening in the big picture. You can also move your body — take a finger to the air and trace the movement of the brushstrokes. (并观察大局中正在发生的事情。你也可以移动你的身体——把一根手指放在空中，追踪笔触的运动)”可知，本空要说跟“如何欣赏”有关的话题，故E选项“Take a few steps back, stand in the center (后退几步，站在中间)”能引起下文，符合题意。故选E。 第三部分：语言应用（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。 My son turned 14 and didn’t have a smartphone.

They are thrill-seekers and go on the scariest rides. Every year, my father and I had the job of waiting on the line for them for their next ride. But on this day, my older sister, Christina encouraged me to ride the roller coaster with them. “You should try it you know. I think you’re tall enough now.” “I don’t want to go,” I said shaking my head. “Come on I promise you it’s really fun. You’re going to regret it if you don’t go because this is our last ride of the day.” I had to admit she could be convincing. After thinking for a while, I slowly took my sister’s hand. She smiled and dragged me towards the huge line for the roller coaster. My hands were shaking. My sister assured me again that it was going to be OK. Even my father encouraged me to go on with them. Seeing the majestic heights of the roller coaster and other rides gave me goose bumps. I started to freak out and become pessimistic about the situation. “What if those buckles unlock and I shoot out?” I thought to myself. I shook for 30 minutes as the line got shorter. As I got closer, I could see the tremendous speed and height of the roller coaster. “Why did I say yes?” I freaked out even harder. I turned around to look for my dad, so I could back out. But he was already out of sight. So I clung to my sister and took a deep breath. When our turn came and a guy in a red polo shirt measured my height to see if I was tall enough, I knelt down slightly. “Alright buddy you’re good,” he announced. “I think the front seat will be the best so we can see everything,” my oldest sister suggested. “Hey, don’t you think the front will be the scariest with all those hard turns?” I said. They didn’t listen to me; the three of us piled into the front. The guys in red polo shirts locked us in with seatbelts that had yellow buckles. I double-checked to make sure they were locked. “Hey, it’s going to be fine, trust me,” one sister said. Paragraph 1: Soon,there was a loud blaring noise to signal that the roller coaster was starting. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph2: The roller coaster was at its peak getting ready to drop. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Soon, there was a loud blaring noise to signal that the roller coaster was starting. Click, click, clunk, the roller coaster slowly inched out of the covered boarding area and into the launch and finally blasted off. As it accelerated, what I could only hear were the screams of excitement and the swooshing noises of the coaster car cutting through the wind. Gripped by fear, I squeezed my eyes shut, afraid of being shot out. At this moment, Christina’s tender voice came to my ear, “Please look out! You won’t regret experiencing it.” I summoned up courage to open my eyes, only to find we were boosting up a hill, the peak inching towards me slowly. The roller coaster was at its peak getting ready to drop. Suddenly, it boosted up and shot forward at an unimaginable speed. Frightened yet excited, I screamed out instinctively. It seemed that I was swooping down uncontrollably. Previous fear and anxiety faded, giving way to the newfound exhilaration. I didn’t freak out again. Instead I opened my arms to embrace this unparalleled experience. Finally, we arrived at the ground safely. Through this memorable trip, I realized each risk we took was a step out of the comfort zone and a testament to our courage. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者的两个姐姐热爱游乐园刺激项目，每年作者和父亲负责排队。一次游玩中，姐姐克里斯蒂娜鼓励作者尝试过山车，作者起初抗拒，在劝说下勉强答应。排队时，看到过山车的高度和速度，作者愈发恐惧，试图反悔却找不到父亲，最终无奈坐上了最惊险的前排座位。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“很快，传来一阵响亮刺耳的声音，这表明过山车要启动了。”课文，这段主要内容：过山车启动加速，作者因恐惧闭眼，在姐姐鼓励下睁眼，发现正朝山顶爬升。 ②由第二段首句内容“过山车到达了顶点，准备俯冲。”可知，这段主要内容：过山车极速俯冲，作者从惊恐到享受，此次体验让其领悟冒险是突破与勇气的体现。 2.续写线索：因恐惧闭眼——姐姐鼓励——从惊恐到享受——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①加速：accelerate/speed up ②被……替代：give way to/be replaced by ③达到：arrive at/get to/reach 情绪类 ①兴奋：thrill/exhilaration/excitement ②害怕：fear/scare 【点睛】[高分句型1] As it accelerated, what I could only hear were the screams of excitement and the swooshing noises of the coaster car cutting through the wind.(运用了as引导的时间状语从句及what引导的主语从句） [高分句型2] I summoned up courage to open my eyes, only to find we were boosting up a hill, the peak inching towards me slowly.(运用了省略that的宾语从句和独立主格结构) [高分句型3] Frightened yet excited, I screamed out instinctively.(运用了形容词作状语) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 北仑中学2024学年第二学期高二年级期中考试英语试卷 （全年级+外高班使用） 第I卷 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。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What does the man ask the woman to finish no later than Friday?

Although protecting wildlife may seem too hard at times, even small actions in your own neighborhood can help protect many different animals. Here are some tips on how to protect wildlife through small actions. Create wildlife-friendly areas in your backyard When trying to make your garden more beautiful, you can choose plants that can provide food and shelter for the native wildlife. This will also help cut down on pollution. Besides, bird or bat houses in your yard or garden can attract and shelter more species. Avoid harming the natural ecosystem in your backyard Some plants from other places can kill or harm the native plants that provide food and shelter for wildlife. Have a greener lifestyle By using less water and fewer fuels, you will do good to help protect the wildlife around you. Take buses or the subway if you can, turn off the electric devices when you’re not using them, take showers for a shorter time, and keep the temperature in your room at or below 68 Fahrenheit degrees in winter. Buy products that are friendly to wildlife Don’t buy products that are made from endangered animals. Keep in mind that some endangered animals are killed by traps, or hunters who are eager to earn money with them. Donate money to organizations that protect wildlife and their habitats You can give money to organizations or groups that protect wildlife in your neighborhood, thus promoting their work. 21. What’s the purpose of this passage? A. To show the threats wildlife faces. B. To raise awareness of wildlife protection. C. To explain the importance of wildlife conservation. D. To introduce different ways to protect wildlife. 22. What is suggested in the passage to create wildlife-friendly areas? A. Building a bird or bat house. B. Using less water and fewer fuels. C. Donating money to organizations. D Buying products made from endangered animals. 23. Which of the following actions is NOT recommended for a greener lifestyle? A. Providing food and shelter for wildlife. B. Taking showers for a shorter time. C. Keeping the room temperature low in winter. D. Turning off electric devices when not in use. B As we grow up, it becomes natural for people around us to lose contact with the hobbies that once were dominant in their lives. While it’s painful to accept this, the new reality becomes normal for most of us as we face new academic, adult and job responsibilities. I’ve been dancing since I was four and I plan to continue dancing in college. However, I’ve always feared that dancing will affect my study and eventually become a brilliant memory of my childhood. After learning about Sommer Gentry’s story, I had an answer. Sommer Gentry, previously a professor of mathematics at the United States Naval Academy and a coach at the Naval Academy’s Swing Dance Club, is currently a teacher at NYU Grossman School of Medicine. Gentry and her husband also started a swing dance community to introduce non-dancers to swing dance. Through teaching, Gentry was inspired to view dancing from an engineering point of view. She said, “I realized it is an engineering question: how do you dance well with someone? It’d be great to give people mathematical and engineering proofs that they have to dance the way I say.” Gentry investigated the complex haptic (触觉的) communication behind the moves in swing dance and showed that two persons could move in coordination (协调) with pure haptic communication, She entered an exciting area of research which is about engineering, psychology and human motor control. It’s incredibly inspiring that Gentry was able to intertwine her academic work with her passion for dancing. Gentry said, “It means that even when I’m dancing outside, I’m thinking about my research project.” Gentry found that digging into her academic interest does not mean letting go of her other non-academic ones. Instead, she found a way to include both in her professional life. Just like me, Gentry is a mathematician and dancer, thus, her story resonates (引起共鸣) strongly with me, and I want to be like her in the future. 24. What did the author think of dancing before learning of Gentry’s story? A. It was too challenging for her B. It’d gradually disappear from her life. C. It’d help develop her sense of responsibility. D. It brought her an unpleasant childhood memory. 25. What contributed to Gentry’s studying dancing from the angle of engineering? A. Her interest in exploring engineering proofs. B. Her husband’s need to promote his dance club. C. Her desire to be an expert in medicine and health. D. Her experience in teaching math and swing dance. 26. What does the underlined word “intertwine” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Hardly balance B. Carefully compare. C. Closely combine. D. Successfully challenge. 27. What does the last paragraph imply about the author? A. She has decided to change her major. B. She will continue to pursue her hobby. C. She used to be Sommer Gentry’s student. D. She originally had little interest in engineering. C Arthur Lih of Massapequa sold his first LifeVac, a device to help save people’s life, to a fire department about 18 months ago, when the Jericho Fire Department purchased 21 of the devices. Now about 10 Long Island fire departments have purchased Lih’s invention, which is designed to draw foreign objects from the throats of choking victims when procedures such as the Heimlich Maneuver (海姆立克急救法) don’t work. He has sold about 5,000 LifeVac devices in the United States and abroad since the device went on the market in August 2014. The Freeport Fire Department is one of Lih’s clients. It bought about 25 LifeVac devices to put on trucks, as well as in chiefs’ vehicles, said Ray Maguire, the department’s executive director. “It’s an extra tool in the toolbox,” Maguire said. “I’d be surprised if anyone who sees it doesn’t purchase it. It’s that tool you may only need once, but it’s the tool you really want in case you need it. It’s affordable. I have it in my car. I have one at home, too.” Dr. Lee Smith at Northwell Health said that if a choking victim can’t breathe, he or she becomes a candidate for the Heimlich. If the Heimlich doesn’t work, the victim would probably lose consciousness because of a lack of oxygen. A challenge for any new medical device is convincing potential users that it works and is safe. In tests, the LifeVac successfully removed an obstruction (阻塞物) from the throat of a dead human body on the first try 49 out of 50 times, according to an August research article in the American Journal of Emergency Medicine. Lih invented the product in his garage inspired after he went with a friend to a hospital while the friend’s mother was going through tests. The friend said the last time he was there, a 7-year-old child had choked to death on a grape. 28. What’s the function of the LifeVac device? A. To put out the fire. B. To remove foreign objects. C. To design procedures. D. To treat victims’ throats. 29. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us about the invention? A Its target users. B. Its practical necessity. C. Its major advantages. D. Its reasonable price 30. What inspired Lih to invent the product? A A kid’s death. B. His client’s suggestion. C. A garage accident. D. Material rewards. 31. What is the text mainly about? A. A productive inventor. B. A convincing cure. C. An anti-choking device. D. An important toolbox. D A recent study issued in Science reveals that misinformation online spreads “further, quicker, more profoundly, and more widely than factual news”. This effect is particularly obvious for false political news compared to misinformation regarding terrorism, natural disasters, scientific topics, urban legends, or financial matters. False news is 70 percent more likely to be reported on Twitter than the truth, researchers found. And false news reached 1,500 people about six times faster than the truth. The study by Soroush Vosoughi and associate professor Deb Roy, both of the MIT Media Lab, and MIT Sloan professor Sinan Aral, is the largest-ever longitudinal (纵向的) study of the spread of false news online. It uses the term “false news” instead of “fake news” because the latter “has lost all connection to the actual accuracy of the information presented, making it meaningless for use in academic classification,” the authors write. To track the spread of news, the researchers investigated all the true and false news stories proved by six independent fact-checking organizations distributed on Twitter from 2006 to 2017. They studied approximately 126,000 cascades — “instances of a rumor (谣言) spreading pattern that exhibits an unbroken report chain with a common, single origin” — on Twitter about contested news stories posted by 3 million people more than 4.5 million times. Traditionally, either the application or the users are responsible for spreading rumors. The researchers conducted an experiment by removing Twitter robots before running their analysis. They then included the robots and ran the analysis again and found none of the main conclusions changed. So what to do? In an interview for the MIT Sloan Experts video series, Aral said possible solutions include labeling fake news much as food is labeled, making unfavorable financial policies such as reducing the flow of advertising dollars to accounts that spread fake news, and using algorithms (算法) to find and control the effect of fake news. 32. What is special about false news? A. It pays more attention to political information. B. It enjoys more online popularity than the truth. C. It misleads viewers with seemingly true words. D. It involves more types and fields than the truth. 33. For what consideration does the study use the term “false news”? A. Value of research. B. Academic tradition. C. Research methods. D. Severity of problems. 34. What might the experiment in Paragraph 3 show? A. Humans are more likely to spread false news than robots. B. The researchers didn’t rely on robots to reach conclusions. C. The number of views of the two analyses remains the same. D. Twitter robots have changed the spreading chain and pattern. 35. Which of the following tips does Aral agree with? A. Advertising to persuade people to identify fake news. B. Labeling fake news about food as much as possible. C. Using AI to locate fake news and weaken its harm. D. Collecting taxes on accounts spreading fake news. 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。 Many would love a deep connection when looking at a painting or sculpture.

They are thrill-seekers and go on the scariest rides. Every year, my father and I had the job of waiting on the line for them for their next ride. But on this day, my older sister, Christina encouraged me to ride the roller coaster with them. “You should try it you know. I think you’re tall enough now.” “I don’t want to go,” I said shaking my head. “Come on I promise you it’s really fun. You’re going to regret it if you don’t go because this is our last ride of the day.” I had to admit she could be convincing. After thinking for a while, I slowly took my sister’s hand. She smiled and dragged me towards the huge line for the roller coaster. My hands were shaking. My sister assured me again that it was going to be OK. Even my father encouraged me to go on with them. Seeing the majestic heights of the roller coaster and other rides gave me goose bumps. I started to freak out and become pessimistic about the situation. “What if those buckles unlock and I shoot out?” I thought to myself. I shook for 30 minutes as the line got shorter. As I got closer, I could see the tremendous speed and height of the roller coaster. “Why did I say yes?” I freaked out even harder. I turned around to look for my dad, so I could back out. But he was already out of sight. So I clung to my sister and took a deep breath. When our turn came and a guy in a red polo shirt measured my height to see if I was tall enough, I knelt down slightly. “Alright buddy you’re good,” he announced. “I think the front seat will be the best so we can see everything,” my oldest sister suggested. “Hey, don’t you think the front will be the scariest with all those hard turns?” I said. They didn’t listen to me; the three of us piled into the front. The guys in red polo shirts locked us in with seatbelts that had yellow buckles. I double-checked to make sure they were locked. “Hey, it’s going to be fine, trust me,” one sister said. Paragraph 1: Soon,there was a loud blaring noise to signal that the roller coaster was starting. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph2: The roller coaster was at its peak getting ready to drop. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$北仑中学2024学年第二学期高二年级期中考试。英语听力部分第一节听下面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。This SA must be completed no later than friday.
