We have two main exams plus one paper of six pages. Indeed, my tests may be more challenging or harder than you expect. If you need to reach me after class, the best way is by email. You can also come to my office on Fridays from three o’clock to five PM, or set up another time to meet with me by calling my secretary. The number is on the board behind me.

It was years later that I finally understood the role that modelling plays in your life. Little did I know you were saving every penny you made to go to law school. I cannot thank you enough for what you told me one autumn afternoon when I was nine. After finishing my homework, I went into the dining room where you were focusing on reading law books. I was confused. Why were you doing what I do – memorising textbooks and studying for tests? When you said you were in law school, I was even more surprised. I didn’t know mums could be lawyers, too. You smiled and said, “In life, you can do anything you want to do.” As young as I was, those words kept ringing in my ears. I watched as you faced the challenges of completing your studies, starting companies with Dad, while still being a model and a mum of five kids. You never complained and gave up. With your words of wisdom in my mind, I suddenly felt the freedom to dream. My whole world opened up. I set out to live my life filled with hope, seeing endless possibilities for personal and professional success.  Your words became my motto (座右铭). As I grew up, I always found myself in the unique position of being either the first or one of the few women (chief medical reporters) in my field. I gained power every time I said, “Yes, I’ll try that.” Encouraged by your words, I have forged ahead (毅然前行) with my life’s journey, less afraid to make mistakes or to meet challenges. You did it, and now I’m doing it. Sorry, I have got to run. So much to do, so many dreams to realise. 24. What is the author’s main purpose of writing this letter? A. To show her admiration to her mum. B. To thank her mum for taking care of her. C. To encourage her mum to achieve her dreams. D. To tell her mum that she is doing great at her job. 25. What did her mum do to make money for law school? A. She worked for a law school. B. She started up a company. C. She was a fashion model. D. She worked as a doctor. 26.

She didn’t know that a mum could study in law school. D. She didn’t understand why mum said “you can do anything”. 27. What can we learn from the writer and her stories about her mum? A. Family is the most important thing in the world. B. We should be brave enough to dream and work hard for it. C. Parents should help their children achieve success. D. Children should respect and support their parents’ dreams. 【答案】24. A 25. C 26. C 27.

I set out to live my life filled with hope, seeing endless possibilities for personal and professional success.

Little did I know you were saving every penny you made to go to law school. (几年后，我终于明白了模特在你生活中所扮演的角色。我不知道你为了上法学院而把挣来的每一分钱都省了下来)”可知，作者妈妈是个时尚模特，并由此赚钱上法学院。故选C项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“I was confused. Why were you doing what I do – memorising textbooks and studying for tests? When you said you were in law school, I was even more surprised. I didn’t know mums could be lawyers, too. (我被搞糊涂了。你为什么要做我做的事——背课本，准备考试?当你说你在上法学院的时候，我更惊讶了。我不知道妈妈也可以当律师)”可知，作者感到困惑是因为她不知道一个妈妈可以在法学院学习。故选C项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“When you said you were in law school, I was even more surprised. I didn’t know mums could be lawyers, too. You smiled and said, “In life, you can do anything you want to do.”(当你说你在法学院的时候，我更惊讶了。我不知道妈妈也可以当律师。你笑着说：“在生活中，你可以做任何你想做的事。”)”和最后一段中“Encouraged by your words, I have forged ahead (毅然前行) with my life’s journey, less afraid to make mistakes or to meet challenges.

By morning he expected that there would be enough snow to make a great snowman. Tom had never made a snowman before. He had just moved to Indiana from Alabama, where it hardly ever snowed. The next morning, Tom's mother shook him gently. “No school today,” she said. “There is too much snow for the school bus to go through.” Tom let out a loud cry. He jumped out of the bed and pulled on his snow clothes. Tom's friends, Herb and Addie, were already outside. “Hey, Tom!” called Addie. “We are going to Warwick Hill in a little while. Do you want to come?” “No, not now,” Tom answered. “I'm going to make a snowman.” Herb shook his head. “It's not snowman snow. It's too dry and soft.” Herb pushed his gloves into the snow and picked some up. He blew on the snow and it flew away like dust. Tom looked down at the ground. “Snow was snow,” he'd always thought. How was he supposed to know there were different kinds? “What kind of snow is this?” He asked. “It's sledding (滑雪橇) snow!” laughed Addie. “That's why we are going to Warwick Hill. All the kids will be there, and you should come, too.” Addie held a sled out to Tom and said, “You can use this. We have got two more.” Tom took the sled and smiled. After all, he had never been sledding before. 28. When Tom lets out a loud cry, he probably feels ________. A. happy B. mad C. hurt D. cold 29.

Tom had never made a snowman before. (到了早上，他预计会有足够的雪堆一个大雪人。汤姆以前从未堆过雪人)”可知，汤姆一直盼望着下雪堆雪人，所以当听母亲说雪堆起来了，不用去上学时，他开心得大叫起来。故选A项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六自然段段中的“Herb shook his head. ‘It's not snowman snow. It's too dry and soft.’ (赫布摇了摇头，“这不是雪人的雪。太干太软了。”)”可知，赫布认为雪太干、太软了，堆不了雪人。故选B项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一个自然段“Tom took the sled and smiled. After all, he had never been sledding before. (汤姆接过雪橇，笑了。毕竟，他以前从来没有滑过雪橇)”可知，汤姆最后和朋友们一起去滑雪橇了。故选A项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第七自然段“Tom looked down at the ground. ‘Snow was snow,’ he'd always thought.

I could feel her chest shaking as she tried not to cry but failed. If adulthood is started in a moment, that was it. For all of my twenty-four years, my Mom had been strong and supportive. For a moment, I was the adult, and she was the child. And I promised her with a smile that I’d help her through anything. Shortly, Mom was given surgery and received chemo. We knew chemo would take her hair, so before it fell out, Mom and I went wig shopping together. We tried on everything. Mom had been wearing the same short hair for over two decades. When she put on a shoulder-length wig, I held my breath and stared. Honestly, I didn’t recognize my own mother. But then she smiled. I went with Mom to every chemo treatment. During the two-hour IV drips, she joked about life, medical issues and even the pain. We spoke on the phone almost daily. She rarely complained. “Cancer can take my hair, my health and my life. But it can’t take my smile.” she said. Mom was the most sociable patient the cancer center ever had. She made homemade noodles for the medical staff. She was grateful to the hands that tried to help her. One day when I went to visit her, I found Mom sitting at the table doing her crossword puzzle without her wig. She looked up and smiled. I’d never seen a stronger or more beautiful woman. Months later, after the final chemo treatment, we held a graduation ceremony for Mom. Mom did beat her cancer! Most of all, I saw a change in Mom. Nothing afterward seemed to worry her quite as much. From her, I learned I may not get to choose what I face, but I do get to choose how I face it. 32. How did the author respond after knowing her mother’s cancer? A. She failed to hold back her tears. B. She felt lost and was in a panic. C. She was grateful to her mother. D. She felt a wave of protectiveness. 33. Which word can best describe the author’s mother? A. Helpful. B. Optimistic. C. Smart. D. Unlucky. 34. What did the author’s mother do at the hospital? A. She helped others out of trouble. B. She shared her personal belongings. C. She chatted socially. D. She did some cooking for patients. 35. What can we learn from the author’s mother? A. Be brave to face difficulties. B. Try to make wise choices. C. Try our best to help others. D. Work hard toward our choices. 【答案】32. D 33. B 34. C 35. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者的母亲患了癌症，但在治疗过程中一直保持乐观和感恩的态度，很少抱怨。最终母亲战胜了病魔，作者也从母亲身上认识到要勇敢面对困难。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“For a moment, I was the adult, and she was the child. And I promised her with a smile that I’d help her through anything.(有那么一瞬间，我是成年人，她是孩子。我微笑着答应她我会帮她度过任何难关)”可知，得知母亲患癌症后，作者感到一阵保护欲。故选D。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“During the two-hour IV drips, she joked about life, medical issues and even the pain. We spoke on the phone almost daily. She rarely complained. “Cancer can take my hair, my health and my life. But it can’t take my smile.” she said.(在两小时的静脉点滴过程中，她拿生活、医疗问题甚至疼痛开玩笑。我们几乎每天通电话。她很少抱怨。“癌症可以夺走我的头发、健康和生命。 但它不能带走我的微笑。”她说)”可推知，作者母亲很乐观。故选B。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中“Mom was the most sociable patient the cancer center ever had.(妈妈是癌症中心有史以来最合群的病人)”可知，作者母亲在医院里聊天合群。故选C。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Most of all, I saw a change in Mom. Nothing afterward seemed to worry her quite as much. From her, I learned I may not get to choose what I face, but I do get to choose how I face it.(最重要的是，我看到了妈妈的变化。之后似乎没有什么比这更让她担心的了。从她那里，我懂得了也许我不能选择面对什么，但我可以选择如何面对)”结合文章主要讲述了作者的母亲患了癌症，但在治疗过程中一直保持乐观和感恩的态度，很少抱怨。最终母亲战胜了病魔，作者也从母亲身上认识到要勇敢面对困难。可知，我们能从作者的母亲身上学到勇敢面对困难。故选A。 第二节：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。选项中有两项为多于选项。（每题2.5分，共5小题，计12.5分） Avoid Misunderstanding Idioms (习语) An idiom is a phrase or expression whose meaning is not always straightforward or easy to understand. An example would be when someone says, "You can't judge a book by its cover." The meaning is that you don't know who someone is, or what something is by their appearance. ___36___You will come across some newer ones that you haven't heard before. When this happens, here are some ways for you to get an idea about what is being said. ___37___This advice applies when you hear some odd phrases in a conversation. You have to consider what the general context is in the conversation, and from there you will be able to make a guess of how the idiomatic expression connects to the conversation. Of course, this requires that you listen actively to the conversation and that your mind is not somewhere else. ___38___If you want to make sure your understanding is correct, you may want to change the sentence into simple language and ask the person you are talking to if the meaning is correct. It never hurts to try to make something that you have heard in a conversation clearer. If you don't ask, you don't learn. ___39___Body language can give you hints to help you understand confusing phrases. If you see that someone has expressive facial expression and gestures, and that he may be joking, consider this when trying to understand an idiomatic expression. Some of these expressions may not have a good and pleasant meaning if the words are taken literally (字面地). However, if you connect together all other information you are given in the conversation, you will realise that it has a totally different meaning. ___40___There's no better way to become more familiar with idiomatic expressions than to read all different types of resources. For example, you will find a lot of idiomatic expressions in novels. What's also good about this is that since you are reading it and going at your own pace, you actually have the opportunity to check the meaning by yourself. After that, if you see the same expression in another sentence, you'll better understand its true meaning. A. Consider the context of the sentence. B. It is impossible to be familiar with all idiomatic expressions. C. It is important for English learners to know all idiomatic expressions. D. Enlarge your knowledge by reading all the time. E. Consider the body language of the speaker. F. Check your understanding. G. Guess the idiom through its literal meaning. 【答案】36. B 37. A 38. F 39. E 40. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了理解习语的一些方法，包括考虑语境、检查理解、考虑说话者的肢体语言以及通过阅读来扩大对习语的了解。 【36题详解】 根据下文“You will come across some newer ones that you haven't heard before.(你会遇到一些你以前从未听说过的习语)”可知，不可能熟悉所有的习语。B选项“It is impossible to be familiar with all idiomatic expressions.(熟悉所有的习语是不可能的)”起到承上启下的作用。故选B项。 【37题详解】 根据下文“You have to consider what the general context is in the conversation, and from there you will be able to make a guess of how the idiomatic expression connects to the conversation.(你必须考虑对话的一般语境，从那里你将能够猜测这个习语与对话是如何联系的)”可知，此处是在说要考虑句子的语境。A选项“Consider the context of the sentence.(考虑句子的语境)”，为本段的主题句。故选A项。 【38题详解】 根据下文“If you want to make sure your understanding is correct, you may want to change the sentence into simple language and ask the person you are talking to if the meaning is correct.(如果你想确保你的理解是正确的，你可以把句子变成简单的语言，并询问与你交谈的人意思是否正确)”可知，此处是在说要检查自己对习语的理解。F选项“Check your understanding.(检查你的理解)”，为本段的主题句。故选F项。 【39题详解】 根据下文“Body language can give you hints to help you understand confusing phrases. (肢体语言可以给你提示，帮助你理解令人困惑的短语)”可知，此处是在说要考虑说话者的肢体语言。E选项“Consider the body language of the speaker.(考虑说话者的肢体语言)”，为本段的主题句。故选E项。 【40题详解】 根据下文“There's no better way to become more familiar with idiomatic expressions than to read all different types of resources. (没有比阅读各种不同的资源更好的熟悉习语的方法了)”可知，此处是在说要通过阅读来扩大对习语的了解。D选项“Enlarge your knowledge by reading all the time.(通过一直阅读来扩大你的知识)”，为本段的主题句。故选D项。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节：完形填空（每题1分，共15小题，计15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Two weeks ago my son Ben got in touch with me. He’d moved to England with his mum when he was three and it had been 13 years since I’d ____41____ seen him . So imagine my delight when he emailed me saying he wanted to come and visit me. I was ____42____! I arrived early at Byron Bay where we were supposed to ____43____. The bay was bathed in sunshine, and there was a group of kayakers (皮划艇运动员) around 150m off the beach.

I was often the only African American at the swimming competitions and our team couldn’t afford good uniforms. However, my number-one reason for wanting to quit was that I kept receiving “Honorable mentions” (安慰奖). Any athlete knows that you don’t want to have a bookshelf full of “Honorable Mentions”, which you get just because you showed up. One summer day, the day before a big swim meet, I decided to break the news to my grandma that I was quitting the swim team. When I told her, she looked me in the eye and said, “Baby, remember these words: ‘Quitters never win and winners never quit.’ Your grandmother didn’t raise losers or quitters. You go to that swim meet tomorrow, and you swim like you are a grandchild of mine, you hear?” I was too afraid to say anything but “Yes, ma’am.” The next day we arrived at the swim meet late, missing my group of swimmers in the 15/16 age group. My coach insisted that I be allowed to swim with the older group. I knew that she was including me in the race so that our journey to the meet would not be wasted, and she had no expectations whatsoever that I would come in anything but eighth place and only that, because there weren’t nine lanes. As I was mounting the board, all the other girls looked at me. I quickly noticed that these girls were here to do one thing—beat me! All of a sudden, my grandma’s words rang in my head. “Quitters never win and winners never quit. You swim like you are a grandchild of mine. Quitters never win and winners never quit.” “Yes, Grandma, I will swim like I am a grandchild of yours,” I said to myself. 注意： 1. 续写词数应150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 SPLASH! I swam harder than I’d ever swum before. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ It was then that I heard the claps and cheers around me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One Possible Version: SPLASH! I swam harder than I’d ever swum before. As I drew my right arm back, I noticed I was tied with one person. I assumed we were battling for eighth place and I refused to finish dead last, so I added more kick on the last 200 yards. I hit the wall and looked to the left and to the right for the swimmers who had beat me, but no one was there. They must have gotten out of the water already. It was then that I heard the claps and cheers around me. I raised my head to see my coach screaming hysterically. My eyes followed her pointing finger and I couldn’t believe what I saw. The other swimmers had just reached the halfway point of the pool! That day, at age 15, I broke the national 17/18-year-old 400-freestyle record. I hung up my honorable mentions and replaced them with a huge trophy. “Yes, grandma, you’re right. Quitters never win and winners never quit.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以参加游泳比赛为线索展开，讲述了作者已经参加了五年的游泳比赛，准备退出，因为觉得自己很糟糕，但奶奶让作者坚持下去。第二天作者来到比赛地点，没有赶上作者15/16岁年龄组的游泳选手。教练坚持允许作者和年龄大一些的人一起游泳。当作者登上跳板时想起了奶奶的话。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①根据第一段首句“扑通一声！我游得比以前任何时候都努力”可知，下文应讲述作者比赛的经过和心理活动。 ②根据第二段首句“就在那时，欢呼声和掌声淹没了我”可知，下文应讲述作者打破了17/18 400自由泳的全国纪录，以及作者获胜后的感想。 2.续写线索：努力游泳——心理活动——听到欢呼声和掌声——知道自己破了纪录——感悟 3.此类激活 行为类 ①注意到：notice/spot/see/witness ②认为：assume/think ③抬起：raise/lift ④到达：reach/arrive at/get to 情绪类 ①歇斯底里地：hysterically/with all strength 【点睛】[高分句型1]As I drew my right arm back, I noticed I was tied with one person.（运用了as引导时间状语从句） [高分句型2]I hit the wall and looked to the left and to the right for the swimmers who had beat me, but no one was there.（运用了who引导的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2023——2024学年度高一上学期期中考试 英语试卷 考试时间120分钟，满分150分 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30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A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你将有10 秒钟的时间回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。（共5小题，计7.5分） 1. 此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What does Bob think of his first day at senior high?

B A Love Note to My Mum When I was a little girl, you always modelled for fashion photographers. It was years later that I finally understood the role that modelling plays in your life. Little did I know you were saving every penny you made to go to law school. I cannot thank you enough for what you told me one autumn afternoon when I was nine. After finishing my homework, I went into the dining room where you were focusing on reading law books. I was confused. Why were you doing what I do – memorising textbooks and studying for tests? When you said you were in law school, I was even more surprised. I didn’t know mums could be lawyers, too. You smiled and said, “In life, you can do anything you want to do.” As young as I was, those words kept ringing in my ears. I watched as you faced the challenges of completing your studies, starting companies with Dad, while still being a model and a mum of five kids. You never complained and gave up. With your words of wisdom in my mind, I suddenly felt the freedom to dream. My whole world opened up. I set out to live my life filled with hope, seeing endless possibilities for personal and professional success.  Your words became my motto (座右铭). As I grew up, I always found myself in the unique position of being either the first or one of the few women (chief medical reporters) in my field. I gained power every time I said, “Yes, I’ll try that.” Encouraged by your words, I have forged ahead (毅然前行) with my life’s journey, less afraid to make mistakes or to meet challenges. You did it, and now I’m doing it. Sorry, I have got to run. So much to do, so many dreams to realise. 24. What is the author’s main purpose of writing this letter? A. To show her admiration to her mum. B. To thank her mum for taking care of her. C. To encourage her mum to achieve her dreams. D. To tell her mum that she is doing great at her job. 25. What did her mum do to make money for law school? A. She worked for a law school. B. She started up a company. C. She was a fashion model. D. She worked as a doctor. 26. According to Paragraph 2, why did the author feel confused? A. She had difficulties in understanding the law books. B. She had problems with her homework. C. She didn’t know that a mum could study in law school. D. She didn’t understand why mum said “you can do anything”. 27. What can we learn from the writer and her stories about her mum? A. Family is the most important thing in the world. B. We should be brave enough to dream and work hard for it. C. Parents should help their children achieve success. D. Children should respect and support their parents’ dreams. C Tom could hardly wait for morning. Snow was falling quickly. By morning he expected that there would be enough snow to make a great snowman. Tom had never made a snowman before. He had just moved to Indiana from Alabama, where it hardly ever snowed. The next morning, Tom's mother shook him gently. “No school today,” she said. “There is too much snow for the school bus to go through.” Tom let out a loud cry. He jumped out of the bed and pulled on his snow clothes. Tom's friends, Herb and Addie, were already outside. “Hey, Tom!” called Addie. “We are going to Warwick Hill in a little while. Do you want to come?” “No, not now,” Tom answered. “I'm going to make a snowman.” Herb shook his head. “It's not snowman snow. It's too dry and soft.” Herb pushed his gloves into the snow and picked some up. He blew on the snow and it flew away like dust. Tom looked down at the ground. “Snow was snow,” he'd always thought. How was he supposed to know there were different kinds? “What kind of snow is this?” He asked. “It's sledding (滑雪橇) snow!” laughed Addie. “That's why we are going to Warwick Hill. All the kids will be there and you should come, too.” Addie held a sled out to Tom and said, “You can use this. We have got two more.” Tom took the sled and smiled. After all, he had never been sledding before. 28. When Tom lets out a loud cry, he probably feels ________. A. happy B. mad C. hurt D. cold 29. When Tom says he is going to make a snowman, Herb ________. A. feels very excited B. thinks it impossible C. wants to do it with him D. teaches him to make it 30. What will Tom probably do next? A.

A. it often snows in Alabama B. there are different kinds of snow C. Tom is good at making a snowman D. Tom often goes sledding with his friends D Mom said the unforgettable words, “I have cancer,” and gave me a tight hug. I could feel her chest shaking as she tried not to cry but failed. If adulthood is started in a moment, that was it. For all of my twenty-four years, my Mom had been strong and supportive. For a moment, I was the adult, and she was the child. And I promised her with a smile that I’d help her through anything. Shortly, Mom was given surgery and received chemo. We knew chemo would take her hair, so before it fell out, Mom and I went wig shopping together. We tried on everything. Mom had been wearing the same short hair for over two decades. When she put on a shoulder-length wig, I held my breath and stared. Honestly, I didn’t recognize my own mother. But then she smiled. I went with Mom to every chemo treatment. During the two-hour IV drips, she joked about life, medical issues and even the pain. We spoke on the phone almost daily. She rarely complained. “Cancer can take my hair, my health and my life. But it can’t take my smile.” she said. Mom was the most sociable patient the cancer center ever had. She made homemade noodles for the medical staff. She was grateful to the hands that tried to help her. One day when I went to visit her, I found Mom sitting at the table doing her crossword puzzle without her wig. She looked up and smiled. I’d never seen a stronger or more beautiful woman. Months later, after the final chemo treatment, we held a graduation ceremony for Mom. Mom did beat her cancer! Most of all, I saw a change in Mom. Nothing afterward seemed to worry her quite as much. From her, I learned I may not get to choose what I face, but I do get to choose how I face it. 32. How did the author respond after knowing her mother’s cancer? A. She failed to hold back her tears. B. She felt lost and was in a panic. C. She was grateful to her mother. D. She felt a wave of protectiveness. 33. Which word can best describe the author’s mother? A. Helpful. B. Optimistic. C. Smart. D. Unlucky. 34. What did the author’s mother do at the hospital? A. She helped others out of trouble. B. She shared her personal belongings. C. She chatted socially. D. She did some cooking for patients. 35. What can we learn from the author’s mother? A. Be brave to face difficulties. B. Try to make wise choices. C. Try our best to help others. D.

The meaning is that you don't know who someone is, or what something is by their appearance. ___36___You will come across some newer ones that you haven't heard before. When this happens, here are some ways for you to get an idea about what is being said. ___37___This advice applies when you hear some odd phrases in a conversation. You have to consider what the general context is in the conversation, and from there you will be able to make a guess of how the idiomatic expression connects to the conversation. Of course, this requires that you listen actively to the conversation and that your mind is not somewhere else. ___38___If you want to make sure your understanding is correct, you may want to change the sentence into simple language and ask the person you are talking to if the meaning is correct. It never hurts to try to make something that you have heard in a conversation clearer. If you don't ask, you don't learn. ___39___Body language can give you hints to help you understand confusing phrases. If you see that someone has expressive facial expression and gestures, and that he may be joking, consider this when trying to understand an idiomatic expression. Some of these expressions may not have a good and pleasant meaning if the words are taken literally (字面地). However, if you connect together all other information you are given in the conversation, you will realise that it has a totally different meaning. ___40___There's no better way to become more familiar with idiomatic expressions than to read all different types of resources. For example, you will find a lot of idiomatic expressions in novels. What's also good about this is that since you are reading it and going at your own pace, you actually have the opportunity to check the meaning by yourself. After that, if you see the same expression in another sentence, you'll better understand its true meaning. A. Consider the context of the sentence. B. It is impossible to be familiar with all idiomatic expressions. C. It is important for English learners to know all idiomatic expressions. D. Enlarge your knowledge by reading all the time. E. Consider the body language of the speaker. F. Check your understanding. G. Guess the idiom through its literal meaning. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节：完形填空（每题1分，共15小题，计15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Two weeks ago my son Ben got in touch with me.

I was often the only African American at the swimming competitions and our team couldn’t afford good uniforms. However, my number-one reason for wanting to quit was that I kept receiving “Honorable mentions” (安慰奖). Any athlete knows that you don’t want to have a bookshelf full of “Honorable Mentions”, which you get just because you showed up. One summer day, the day before a big swim meet, I decided to break the news to my grandma that I was quitting the swim team. When I told her, she looked me in the eye and said, “Baby, remember these words: ‘Quitters never win and winners never quit.’ Your grandmother didn’t raise losers or quitters. You go to that swim meet tomorrow, and you swim like you are a grandchild of mine, you hear?” I was too afraid to say anything but “Yes, ma’am.” The next day we arrived at the swim meet late, missing my group of swimmers in the 15/16 age group. My coach insisted that I be allowed to swim with the older group. I knew that she was including me in the race so that our journey to the meet would not be wasted, and she had no expectations whatsoever that I would come in anything but eighth place and only that, because there weren’t nine lanes. As I was mounting the board, all the other girls looked at me. I quickly noticed that these girls were here to do one thing—beat me! All of a sudden, my grandma’s words rang in my head. “Quitters never win and winners never quit. You swim like you are a grandchild of mine. Quitters never win and winners never quit.” “Yes, Grandma, I will swim like I am a grandchild of yours,” I said to myself. 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。 SPLASH! I swam harder than I’d ever swum before. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ It was then that I heard the claps and cheers around me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$Unit one a . new start单元训练一基础达标。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，你将有10秒钟的时间回答有关小题和阅读下一小题，每段对话仅读一遍。Text one hi, bob, how's your first day senior high?
