An hour into the race, Susan and her sled dog team sped down a hill and crashed into a fallen tree. Although hurt, Susan continued the difficult race. The Iditarod Race started in 1925 when a doctor in Nome Alaska was desperately in need of medicine to stop the spread of a deadly disease. Only a hospital had what he needed, but it was 700 mile-away! In January, it was too dangerous to send a boat and too stormy for his tiny airplane. The only hope was to use several sled dog teams following a trail, called the Iditarod Trail. They passed the medicine from one sled team to another. Wind and snow did not stop the men and their dogs. The medicine was delivered in record time. The race follows the route of the famous medicine run. Over 1, 000 miles long, it is considered the toughest race in the world. Susan Butcher was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts. In her teens Susan was given a Siberian husky dog and became very interested in huskies as sled dogs. After reading about the Iditarod Race, Susan moved to Alaska. She got several jobs to earn money to buy herself a sled and a team of huskies. After years of hard work and training, Susan achieved her dream of racing on the Iditarod Trail. In 1978, at the age of 24, Susan entered the race for the first time and became the first woman to finish in the top 20. In 1982 she came in second. In 1984 she was leading her team across a frozen waterway when they fell into the water. Her lead dog managed to pull Susan and the other dogs out of danger. Remarkably, she came in second. In her fourth race, in 1985, a staring moose (驼鹿) attacked her dogs, killing two and injuring eleven. Susan had to leave the race. In 1986 Susan joined the race again. This time, she won. She won again in 1987. In 1988 she became the first person ever to win three Iditarod races in a row. Unbelievably, Susan won for the fourth time in 1990. 24. According to text, Susan Butcher entered the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race at least __________times. A. six B. seven C. eight D. nine 25. In Paragraph 2, the author wants to tell us __________. A. how the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race began B. how the spread of a deadly disease was stopped C. how tough the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race was D. how Susan Butcher began to show interest in the race 26. What does the underlined phrase “in a row” probably mean in the last paragraph? A. continuously B. eventually C. finally D. particularly 27. What led to some of Susan Butcher’s failures? A. Snowstorm. B. Lack of food. C. Accidents. D. Lack of experience. C There are around 600,000 vegans (素食者) in the UK. That' s just over 1% of the population — an amount expected to increase to 25% by 2025. And if there's one type of food that Brits love, it is fast food. People in the UK love it so much that there was a 34% increase in the number of fast food outlets from 2010 to 2018. It's no surprise, then, that vegan fast food is also on the rise. Vegan fast food has become big business. At Just Eat, an online food delivery company, vegan orders more than doubled in 2018. Greggs, a chain of high-street bakeries, named its vegan sausage roll the ''fastest - selling product in six years". And big franchises such as McDonald's and KFC have announced meat-free chicken nuggets (鸡块) to come in the future. What's. driving this popularity? Katrina Fox, founder of Vegan Business Media, believes it's the result of the breaking down of stereotypes (成见). ''Vegan food is no longer seen as a bit of lettuce and lentils — you can eat pretty much anything". It's also claimed that there are health benefits. John Marulanda, owner of Mooshies is a vegan burger bar in London — wants to implement “a change to a healthy version of fast food. Something, he claims, that comes as a result of the inherent nutritional value of the ingredients they use. But, is vegan fast food actually healthy? Azmina Govindji of the British Dietetic Association says ''not to assume" that is the case, ''It' s fine if those products have got vitamin B12, iodine or calcium added to them. but they can still be fried, it can still have lots of creamy, fatty sauces and lots of salt. Given the current growth in orders, the trend for vegan fast food isn't likely to disappear any time soon, Health — wise, it may not be any more nourishing than regular fast food, but for many， the lack of animal suffering involved in the process is a big plus. 28. What's the main idea of Paragraph 1? A. Vegans in the UK are increasing. B. British people love junk food. C. Eating too much fast food is bad for health. D. Vegan fast food is becoming popular in Britain. 29. Which might be the reason for the popularity of vegan fast food? A. Its unique flavors. B. The change of life pace. C. Its health benefits. D. Its colorful decorations. 30. What is Azmina Govindji's opinion about vegan fast food? A. It is not so healthy. B. It is more varied. C. It is more nutritious. D. It will soon disappear. 31. Why do many people tend to vegan fast food according to the last sentence? A. To keep a balanced diet. B. For religious reasons. C. Out of the love for animals. D. It's cheaper than regular food. D The world is warming up and humans are the cause, and that means it’s up to us to stop it. The burning of oil and coal is one huge cause, and clean energy (能源) sources are needed greatly if we’re going to make any meaningful changes. But where is all of this clean energy going to come from? Denmark seems to have an idea. In Europe, Denmark provides more oil than any other country, but that’s going to change. The country has promised to stop oil production within the next 30 years, but that means it’s going to need to get its energy from somewhere else. To that end, Denmark has planned to build a man-made island off its coast. As Fast Company reports, the plan will include the building of the island itself as well as up to 600 wind turbines (涡轮机) to pick up ocean winds and change them into electricity (电). The island will have a size of 20 football fields and will have turbines around it and send power to huge batteries (电池) that can store power for whenever it’s needed. All told, the island should be able to provide power for as many as three million homes, but as more batteries are added, that stored power could be provided for even more homes and businesses. “The island is expected to cost about $34 billion, which is really a lot of money. However, as countries begin to use more green energy, the ones that produce more of it will have the chance to sell it to other countries. As oil and coal burning is not allowed worldwide, those that don’t produce enough green energy might be forced to buy up power from their greener neighbors,” said Fast Company. 32. Which of the following words can best describe Denmark’s action? A. Worrying. B. Brave. C. Responsible. D. Confusing 33. What will the man-made island serve as? A. An energy center. B. A living center. C. A research center. D. A tour center. 34. What do Fast Company’s words in the last paragraph mean? A. The project will get paid back in the long run. B. The project will attract more countries’ attention. C. They have collected enough money for the project. D. They need other countries’help to finish the project. 35. What could be the best title for the text? A. Denmark will become a greener country. B. Denmark is going to stop providing oil. C. Denmark will sell its green energy to other countries. D. Denmark will build a man-made island to produce energy 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。 Mistakes I Made While Trying To Lose Weight In this article, I’m going to share with you several mistakes I made on my quest to lose weight.

I realize this is simple and very basic. However, it is necessary and it does make a difference. I often have people who cross my daily path to whom I can show kindness. It is often just a smile. A smile often says, “I see you. You aren’t invisible to me. You are important.” People need someone to care about them. I read a story many years ago about a man who had decided to commit suicide. He’d lost a fortune, his job, his family and nearly everything he owned. He went to a local pawn shop to buy a gun. He planned to take the gun back to his apartment in New York City, and kill himself. As he was getting on the elevator a little old lady was slowly getting on too. She had a small cart she was pulling behind her and was having a little trouble getting it into the elevator. He said that he was actually a bit angry because he wanted to hurry up, get to his apartment and end his own life. He reached out to the old lady’s cart and forced it as it had become stuck. He got it free easily and she got on the elevator. After the door closed, she looked up at him with a big smile and said, “If we had more young men like you in this world, the world would be a better place. You are so kind to help. Such a sweet young man. ” Of course, it changed his thought of going back to kill himself. He wanted to go around New York and find people that he could help and people who were struggling even with something that was as small as the little old lady’s cart. 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右； 2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Paragraph 1: That day his life changed. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Later, he enjoyed great success in his work and life. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 甘肃省华池县第一中学2024-2025学年度第二学期期中考试 高一英语 2025.4 注意事项： 1.本试卷分四部分。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2.考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑；主观题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 3.本试卷命题范围：必修第二册Unit 6,必修第三册Units 7~8. 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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 programs does the woman prefer?

We should care about what happens to the ocean. Didn't you hear about that dead whale's stomach that was full of plastic garbage? M: Oh, yes. I heard about that. But what will we do with the plastic garbage we collect? W: We will take all of the plastic to a company that can recycle it. 听下面一段较长对话，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 14.

Blige.(Essence音乐节是戴安娜·罗斯、查卡·汗和玛丽·布莱姬等传奇艺术家的庆典。)”可知，Essence Music Festival音乐节主要是一些知名艺术家。由此可知，Pitchfork Music Festival比Essence Music Festival有更多没那么知名的乐队。故选B项。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据Sziget Festival中的“Budapest knows how to hold a party, and Sziget is one of the biggest celebrations of music and culture in all of Europe.(布达佩斯懂得如何举办派对，Sziget是全欧洲最大的音乐和文化庆典之一。)”可知，布达佩斯懂得如何举办这样的派对，说明它擅长组织这样的娱乐活动。故选C项。 B It was the last time Susan Butcher ran the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race in 1992. An hour into the race, Susan and her sled dog team sped down a hill and crashed into a fallen tree. Although hurt, Susan continued the difficult race. The Iditarod Race started in 1925 when a doctor in Nome, Alaska was desperately in need of medicine to stop the spread of a deadly disease. Only a hospital had what he needed, but it was 700 mile-away! In January, it was too dangerous to send a boat and too stormy for his tiny airplane. The only hope was to use several sled dog teams following a trail, called the Iditarod Trail. They passed the medicine from one sled team to another. Wind and snow did not stop the men and their dogs. The medicine was delivered in record time. The race follows the route of the famous medicine run. Over 1, 000 miles long, it is considered the toughest race in the world. Susan Butcher was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts. In her teens Susan was given a Siberian husky dog and became very interested in huskies as sled dogs. After reading about the Iditarod Race, Susan moved to Alaska. She got several jobs to earn money to buy herself a sled and a team of huskies. After years of hard work and training, Susan achieved her dream of racing on the Iditarod Trail. In 1978, at the age of 24, Susan entered the race for the first time and became the first woman to finish in the top 20. In 1982 she came in second. In 1984 she was leading her team across a frozen waterway when they fell into the water. Her lead dog managed to pull Susan and the other dogs out of danger. Remarkably, she came in second. In her fourth race, in 1985, a staring moose (驼鹿) attacked her dogs, killing two and injuring eleven. Susan had to leave the race. In 1986 Susan joined the race again. This time, she won. She won again in 1987. In 1988 she became the first person ever to win three Iditarod races in a row. Unbelievably, Susan won for the fourth time in 1990. 24. According to text, Susan Butcher entered the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race at least __________times. A. six B. seven C. eight D. nine 25. In Paragraph 2, the author wants to tell us __________. A. how the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race began B. how the spread of a deadly disease was stopped C. how tough the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race was D. how Susan Butcher began to show interest in the race 26. What does the underlined phrase “in a row” probably mean in the last paragraph? A. continuously B. eventually C. finally D. particularly 27. What led to some of Susan Butcher’s failures? A. Snowstorm. B. Lack of food. C. Accidents. D. Lack of experience. 【答案】24. D 25. A 26. A 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。介绍了伊迪塔罗德雪橇狗比赛的起源以及苏珊·布彻参加几次比赛的情况。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据末段“In her fourth race, in 1985, a staring moose (驼鹿) attacked her dogs, killing two and injuring eleven. Susan had to leave the race. In 1986 Susan joined the race again. This time, she won. She won again in 1987. In 1988 she became the first person ever to win three Iditarod races in a row. Unbelievably, Susan won for the fourth time in 1990. (在1985年第四次比赛中，一只瞪着眼睛的驼鹿袭击了她的狗，造成两只狗死亡，11只狗受伤。苏珊不得不退出比赛。1986年，苏珊再次参加了比赛。这一次，她赢了。1987年，她再次获胜。1988年，她成为第一个连续三次赢得艾迪塔罗德比赛的人。令人难以置信的是，苏珊在1990年第四次获胜。)”以及首段首句“It was the last time Susan Butcher ran the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race in 1992. (这是苏珊·布彻最后一次参加伊迪塔罗德雪橇狗比赛是在1992年。)”可知，1985年是第4次，1986年1次，1987年1次，1988年1次，1990年1次，1992年1次。所以，她总共参加了9次。故选D。 【25题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段首句“The Iditarod Race started in 1925 when a doctor in Nome, Alaska was desperately in need of medicine to stop the spread of a deadly disease. (伊迪塔罗德比赛始于1925年，当时阿拉斯加诺姆的一名医生急需药物来阻止一种致命疾病的传播。)”可知，本段主要介绍伊迪塔罗德雪橇狗比赛的起源。故选A。 【26题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线词前文“In 1986 Susan joined the race again. This time, she won. She won again in 1987.(1986年，苏珊再次参加了比赛。这一次，她赢了。1987年，她再次获胜。)”可知，苏珊从1986、1987和1988是连续三年赢了比赛。可推知，划线短语的词义应为“连续地”。故选A。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据首段前两句“It was the last time Susan Butcher ran the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race in 1992. An hour into the race, Susan and her sled dog team sped down a hill and crashed into a fallen tree. (苏珊·布彻上一次参加伊迪塔罗德雪橇狗比赛是在1992年。比赛开始一小时后，苏珊和她的雪橇犬队从山上疾驰而下，撞上了一棵倒下的树。)”，倒数第二段第三句“In 1984 she was leading her team across a frozen waterway when they fell into the water. (1984年，她带领她的团队穿越一条结冰的水道时，他们掉进了水里。)”以及末段首句“In her fourth race, in 1985, a staring moose (驼鹿) attacked her dogs, killing two and injuring eleven. (在1985年的第四次比赛中，一只瞪着眼睛的驼鹿袭击了她的狗，造成两只狗死亡，11只狗受伤。)”可知，苏珊的这些失败都是意外事故导致的。故选C。 C There are around 600,000 vegans (素食者) in the UK. That' s just over 1% of the population — an amount expected to increase to 25% by 2025. And if there's one type of food that Brits love, it is fast food. People in the UK love it so much that there was a 34% increase in the number of fast food outlets from 2010 to 2018. It's no surprise, then, that vegan fast food is also on the rise.

And big franchises such as McDonald's and KFC have announced meat-free chicken nuggets (鸡块) to come in the future. What's. driving this popularity? Katrina Fox, founder of Vegan Business Media, believes it's the result of the breaking down of stereotypes (成见). ''Vegan food is no longer seen as a bit of lettuce and lentils — you can eat pretty much anything". It's also claimed that there are health benefits. John Marulanda owner of Mooshies is a vegan burger bar in London — wants to implement “a change to a healthy version of fast food. Something, he claims, that comes as a result of the inherent nutritional value of the ingredients they use. But, is vegan fast food actually healthy? Azmina Govindji of the British Dietetic Association says ''not to assume" that is the case, ''It' s fine if those products have got vitamin B12, iodine or calcium added to them. but they can still be fried, it can still have lots of creamy, fatty sauces and lots of salt. Given the current growth in orders, the trend for vegan fast food isn't likely to disappear any time soon, Health — wise, it may not be any more nourishing than regular fast food, but for many， the lack of animal suffering involved in the process is a big plus. 28. What's the main idea of Paragraph 1? A. Vegans in the UK are increasing. B. British people love junk food. C. Eating too much fast food is bad for health. D. Vegan fast food is becoming popular in Britain. 29. Which might be the reason for the popularity of vegan fast food? A. Its unique flavors. B. The change of life pace. C. Its health benefits. D.

C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。素食快餐在英国越来越受欢迎，文章陈述了它受欢迎的潜在原因。于此同时，也有人认为素食快餐并没有那么健康，可能人们选择素食快餐是出于对动物的爱。 【28题详解】 主旨大意题。根据本段的主要内容，尤其是最后一句It's no surprise , then, that vegan fast food is also on the rise. (毫无以外，素食快餐也在增加)可知，本段主要讲述随着快餐在英国的增加，素食快餐也在增加，即素食快餐在英国变得越来越受欢迎。D. Vegan fast food is becoming popular in Britain. (素食快餐正在变的受欢迎)可以概括本段主要内容。故选D项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段的It's also claimed that there are health benefits. (它还声称对健康有益)可知，素食快餐流行的原因之一是对健康有好处。C. Its health benefits.

(英国饮食协会的Azmina Govindji说，“不要假设”是这样的情况，“如果这些产品含有维生素B12就好了，加入碘或钙。但是它们仍然是油炸，仍然有许多奶油、脂肪和很多盐。”)可推测，Azmina Govindji认为素食快餐并没有那么健康，因为它们仍然用来油炸，含有大量脂肪和盐。A. It is not so healthy.

Out of the love for animals. (出于对动物的爱)符合以上推测。故选C项。 D The world is warming up and humans are the cause, and that means it’s up to us to stop it. The burning of oil and coal is one huge cause, and clean energy (能源) sources are needed greatly if we’re going to make any meaningful changes. But where is all of this clean energy going to come from? Denmark seems to have an idea. In Europe, Denmark provides more oil than any other country, but that’s going to change. The country has promised to stop oil production within the next 30 years, but that means it’s going to need to get its energy from somewhere else. To that end, Denmark has planned to build a man-made island off its coast. As Fast Company reports, the plan will include the building of the island itself as well as up to 600 wind turbines (涡轮机) to pick up ocean winds and change them into electricity (电). The island will have a size of 20 football fields and will have turbines around it and send power to huge batteries (电池) that can store power for whenever it’s needed. All told, the island should be able to provide power for as many as three million homes, but as more batteries are added, that stored power could be provided for even more homes and businesses. “The island is expected to cost about $34 billion, which is really a lot of money. However, as countries begin to use more green energy, the ones that produce more of it will have the chance to sell it to other countries. As oil and coal burning is not allowed worldwide, those that don’t produce enough green energy might be forced to buy up power from their greener neighbors,” said Fast Company. 32. Which of the following words can best describe Denmark’s action? A. Worrying. B. Brave. C. Responsible. D. Confusing 33. What will the man-made island serve as? A. An energy center. B. A living center. C. A research center. D. A tour center. 34. What do Fast Company’s words in the last paragraph mean? A. The project will get paid back in the long run. B. The project will attract more countries’ attention. C. They have collected enough money for the project. D. They need other countries’help to finish the project. 35. What could be the best title for the text? A. Denmark will become a greener country. B. Denmark is going to stop providing oil. C. Denmark will sell its green energy to other countries. D. Denmark will build a man-made island to produce energy 【答案】32. C 33. A 34. B 35. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述丹麦计划在其海岸外建造一座人造岛屿来生产能源。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段“The world is warming up and humans are the cause, and that means it’s up to us to stop it. The burning of oil and coal is one huge cause, and clean energy (能源) sources are needed greatly if we’re going to make any meaningful changes. But where is all of this clean energy going to come from? Denmark seems to have an idea. (世界正在变暖，人类是原因，这意味着我们有责任阻止它。石油和煤炭的燃烧是一个巨大的原因，如果我们要做出任何有意义的改变，就非常需要清洁能源。但是这些清洁能源将从哪里来呢？丹麦似乎有个主意。)”以及第二段“The country has promised to stop oil production within the next 30 years, but that means it’s going to need to get its energy from somewhere else. (该国已承诺在未来30年内停止石油生产，但这意味着它需要从其它地方获得能源。)”可推知，丹麦这种表现是负责的。故选C项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段“The country has promised to stop oil production within the next 30 years, but that means it’s going to need to get its energy from somewhere else. To that end, Denmark has planned to build a man-made island off its coast. (该国已承诺在未来30年内停止石油生产，但这意味着它需要从其它地方获得能源。为此，丹麦计划在其海岸外建造一座人造岛屿。)”可知，丹麦计划在其海岸外建造一座人造岛屿是为了将它作为能源中心。故选A项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段“As oil and coal burning is not allowed worldwide, those that don’t produce enough green energy might be forced to buy up power from their greener neighbors (由于全球范围内不允许燃烧石油和煤炭，那些没有生产足够绿色能源的国家可能会被迫从更环保的邻国那里购买电力)”可知没有生产足够绿色能源的国家可能会被迫从更环保的邻国那里购买电力，所以丹麦该清洁能源的项目将吸引更多国家的关注。故选B项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。由文章第二段“In Europe, Denmark provides more oil than any other country, but that’s going to change. The country has promised to stop oil production within the next 30 years, but that means it’s going to need to get its energy from somewhere else. To that end, Denmark has planned to build a man-made island off its coast. (在欧洲，丹麦提供的石油比任何其他国家都多，但这种情况会改变。该国已承诺在未来30年内停止石油生产，但这意味着它需要从其他地方获得能源。为此，丹麦计划在其海岸外建造一座人造岛屿。)”以及上下文可知，文章主要讲丹麦为了解决能源问题而要修建一个人造岛的事情。所以D项Denmark will build a man-made island to produce energy (丹麦将建造一个人工岛生产能源)符合语境。故选D项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Mistakes I Made While Trying To Lose Weight In this article, I’m going to share with you several mistakes I made on my quest to lose weight. I started to skip (略过) breakfast. Most people trying to lose weight believe simply eating less and skipping meals can help get rid of the fat. ____36____ And in fact, breakfast is easily burnt throughout the day. I bought diet food. When I went shopping, I always looked for the foods marked diet, low-fat, healthy, etc. ____37____ I bought these foods because in my mind it meant I could buy more. I would totally pay no attention to the amount of the food. If you eat too much any food, you’re not doing yourself any favors. ____38____ Eating salad is a good way of keeping my calorie intake down. But I found that only a moment after my meals, I was looking for more food. I learnt that I was better off eating a balanced meal with few more calories than simply eating a salad and snacking afterwards. I was too awkward to go to the gym. Joining a gym was one of the hardest things I ever did. I was always worried that people in the gym would be staring at me and talking about me. I really thought I was too fat to join. My advice is to join a gym! ____39____ I set my goals too high. Setting long-term goals is great, but these goals always seem too far off. You need to set smaller, more reachable goals. ____40____ Set yourself weekly and monthly goals. Once you meet one short-term goal, set a new one for next week. A. I thought I’d always be fat. B. I promise you’ll be glad you do. C. But it doesn’t keep you full for long. D. I started eating salads as main meals. E. But I was buying these foods for the wrong reason. F. So you can achieve them now and then and cheer yourself up. G. However, if so, you’re much more likely to eat more for lunch. 【答案】36. G 37. E 38. D 39. B 40. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了作者在减肥过程中犯的错误。 36题详解】 根据前文“Most people trying to lose weight believe simply eating less and skipping meals can help get rid of the fat.(大多数试图减肥的人认为，只要少吃和不吃饭就可以帮助摆脱脂肪)”再根据本文标题“Mistakes I Made While Trying To Lose Weight(我在减肥过程中犯的错误)”是说的作者犯的错误，所以接下来应该讲述不吃早餐对减肥的坏处，所以G项(然而，如果是这样的话，你午餐很可能会吃得更多)符合文意。故选G项。 【37题详解】 根据本段首句“I bought diet food.(我买了减肥食品)”可知，本段主要讲述了买减肥食品是错误的，再根据前文“When I went shopping, I always looked for the foods marked diet, low-fat, healthy, etc.(当我去购物时，我总是寻找标有减肥、低脂、健康等字样的食品)”以及后文“I bought these foods because in my mind it meant I could buy more. I would totally pay no attention to the amount of the food.(我买这些食物是因为在我看来，这意味着我可以买更多。我完全不会注意食物的数量)”可知，空处应是转折，讲述买减肥食品的错误，所以E项(但我买这些食物的原因是错误的)符合文意。故选E项。 【38题详解】 分析设空可知，空处位于段首，是本段的中心句，讲述自己犯的另一个错误，所以根据后文“Eating salad is a good way of keeping my calorie intake down. But I found that only a moment after my meals, I was looking for more food.(吃沙拉是降低卡路里摄入的好方法。但我发现，仅仅在我吃完饭后的片刻，我就在寻找更多的食物)”可知，本段主要讲吃沙拉的问题，所以D项(我开始把沙拉作为主食)符合文意，其中salad为同词复现。故选D项。 【39题详解】 根据本段首句“I was too awkward to go to the gym.(我太尴尬了，不敢去健身房)”可知，本段主要讲我不敢去健身房的错误，再根据前文“My advice is to join a gym!(我的建议是加入健身房)”可推知，接下来应该讲述这么做的好处，所以B项(我保证你会很高兴的)符合文意。故选B项。 【40题详解】 根据本段首句“I set my goals too high.(我的目标定得太高了)”可知，本段主要讲述了制定目标上的错误，再根据前文“You need to set smaller, more reachable goals.(你需要设定更小、更容易实现的目标)”可知，后文应解释为什么这么设定目标，所以F项(所以你可以时不时地实现它们，让自己高兴起来)符合文意。故选F项。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Growing up in the USA, I always wanted to experience another culture.

Firstly, garbage should never be littered randomly. Instead, we should sort waste properly and keep our surroundings clean. This simple act can greatly reduce pollution and create a more pleasant living environment. Secondly, tree-planting is crucial. Trees absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen, purifying the air and preventing soil erosion. We should encourage everyone to participate in tree-planting activities.

I realize this is simple and very basic. However, it is necessary and it does make a difference. I often have people who cross my daily path to whom I can show kindness. It is often just a smile. A smile often says, “I see you. You aren’t invisible to me. You are important.” People need someone to care about them. I read a story many years ago about a man who had decided to commit suicide. He’d lost a fortune, his job, his family and nearly everything he owned. He went to a local pawn shop to buy a gun. He planned to take the gun back to his apartment in New York City, and kill himself. As he was getting on the elevator, a little old lady was slowly getting on too. She had a small cart she was pulling behind her and was having a little trouble getting it into the elevator. He said that he was actually a bit angry because he wanted to hurry up, get to his apartment and end his own life. He reached out to the old lady’s cart and forced it as it had become stuck. He got it free easily and she got on the elevator. After the door closed, she looked up at him with a big smile and said, “If we had more young men like you in this world, the world would be a better place. You are so kind to help. Such a sweet young man. ” Of course, it changed his thought of going back to kill himself. He wanted to go around New York and find people that he could help and people who were struggling even with something that was as small as the little old lady’s cart. 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右； 2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Paragraph 1: That day his life changed. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Later, he enjoyed great success in his work and life. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1 That day, his life changed. He started sharing his story with others and soon he found himself being a popular spokesman for preventing suicide. His efforts to prevent suicide was simply this. He said “If you want to end your life, your last few hours should consist of doing five small acts of kindness for other people. It will change you and you'll wake up to the goodness in this world and decide that you want to live.” Paragraph 2 Later, he enjoyed great success in his work and life. He finally found a job in a company with an income of about $4.000 a month. He also helped a girl who wanted to commit suicide and finally got married to her! Now he has a happy family of three all because of the small act of kindness he showed to the little old lady. He finds himself living with more purposes and living a happier life than before. Whenever possible, he will reach out to those in trouble in life. 【解析】 【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了一个决定自杀的人，因为帮助了一个老太太，得到了老太太的赞美改变了他回去自杀的想法。并且从此以后致力于帮助那些想要自杀的人，最终他在工作和生活上都取得了巨大的成就。现在他有了一个幸福的三口之家，这都是因为他对小老太太的一个小小善举。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“那一天，他的生活改变了。”可知，第一段可描写那个本来想要自杀的人的生活发生了怎样的改变的，他成了防止自杀的发言人。他说如果一个人想结束自己的生命，就在人生的最后几个小时为他人做五件小事。这些事情会改变他们，让他们会意识到这个世界的美好。 ②由第二段首句内容“后来，他在工作和生活上都取得了巨大的成就。”可知，第二段可描写这个人取得了哪些成就，以及他发现自己的生活有了更多的目标，生活比以前更快乐。 2.续写线索：生活改变——成为防止自杀发言人——取得成就——成立家庭——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 帮助：help/ small acts of kindness/ give sb. a hand 阻止：prevent /stop sb. from doing sth. 改变：change/ turn into 情绪类 努力：efforts/ hard-working 幸福：happy / happier/happiness 【点睛】[高分句型1] If you want to end your life, your last few hours should consist of doing five small acts of kindness for other people.运用if引导条件状语从句 [高分句型2] He also helped a girl who wanted to commit suicide and finally got married to her!运用who引导定语从句。 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$英语试题听力部分，现在是听力试音时间。Hello, international friends club, can I help you?
