Here, three women share the biggest motivators in their weight-loss journeys and the simple changes they made to actually achieve their health goals. Alyssa Greene The stress of starting college and continuous late nights caused Alyssa Greene to develop an unhealthy relationship with her body. Though she exercised, she didn’t pay much attention to her diet and her overall health until she realized a change had to be made. Over the next 2.5 years, she self-educated about nutrition and learnt what and how much to eat to get the results she wanted. Today, Greene has lost 50 pounds and relies on self-discipline as her key motivator. “I do what I want for me, no one else,” she says. “For people who have a hard time making a lifestyle change because of family or friends or a significant other, it really boils down to discipline.” Tanisha Commodore For years, Tanisha Commodore left no stone unturned when it came to weight loss strategies. After trying countless workout programmes and weight-loss diets, the desperate influencer began entertaining the idea of going to Mexico for weight-loss surgery when her friend happened to recommend a special diet. Over eight months, Commodore lost 80 pounds. “You didn’t put it on overnight, so don’t expect to lose it overnight,” she notes. Denita Elizabeth At one point, Denita Elizabeth weighed over 250 pounds and couldn’t remember what it felt like to be healthy. Having made up her mind to make a change, Elizabeth signed up for a SoulCycle membership. Today she’s lost 100 pounds. “Not only had my strength increased, but my whole body composition changed,” says Elizabeth. “Remember: you need to develop discipline and commitment for the moments when you don’t feel like it.” 1. How did Greene lose weight? A. By working out. B. By changing eating habits. C. By enhancing motivation. D. By going to bed early. 2. What does Commodore suggest people do? A. Try different strategies. B. Eat a strict diet. C. Be patient. D. Get gym membership. 3. What do Greene and Elizabeth have in common? A. They are college students. B. They are disciplined. C. They are motivated by others. D. They have achieved their goals quickly. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了三位女性分享成功减重的关键动力，以及她们为实现健康目标所做的简单改变。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Though she exercised, she didn’t pay much attention to her diet and her overall health until she realized a change had to be made. Over the next 2.5 years, she self-educated about nutrition and learnt what and how much to eat to get the results she wanted.(尽管她锻炼，但她并没有太注意自己的饮食和整体健康，直到她意识到她必须做出改变。在接下来的两年半里，她自学了营养知识，学会了吃什么和吃多少才能达到她想要的效果)”可知，格林是通过改变饮食习惯减肥的。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Over eight months, Commodore lost 80 pounds. “You didn’t put it on overnight, so don’t expect to lose it overnight,” she notes.(在八个多月的时间里，Commodore减掉了80磅。她指出：“你不是在一夜之间增加体重，所以不要指望一夜之间就会减掉它。”)”可知，Commodore表示人们不要指望一夜之间减肥，即建议人们要有耐心。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Today, Greene has lost 50 pounds and relies on self-discipline as her key motivator. “I do what I want for me, no one else,” she says. “For people who have a hard time making a lifestyle change because of family or friends or a significant other, it really boils down to discipline.”(如今，格林已经瘦了50磅，依靠自律作为她的主要动力。“我为自己做我想做的事，而不是别人，”她说。“对于那些因为家人、朋友或重要的另一半而难以改变生活方式的人来说，这真的可以归结为自制力。”)”以及最后一段“Remember: you need to develop discipline and commitment for the moments when you don’t feel like it.(记住：当你不喜欢它的时候，你需要培养自制力和承诺)”可知，格林和伊丽莎白的共同点是她们都拥有自制力。故选B。 B Jim Thorpe is one of the greatest athletes of all time. He had amazing athletic abilities and was well-known during his lifetime, yet that did not make Thorpe a stranger to adversity. Thorpe was an American Indian from Oklahoma who developed his extraordinary athletic skills in his youth through hard labor. It was also in his youth that he learned to endure hardship brought upon by racial prejudice. Many would say his childhood was not easy. He grew up poor and at age 9 his twin brother passed away and a few years later he lost both of his parents. But that did not stop him from doing what he loved and pursuing his dreams. Nothing seemed to stop him, not even stolen shoes. Just hours before Thorpe was going to compete in the1912 Olympics, somebody stole his shoes. Thorpe improvised(临时拼凑) by getting shoes out of the garbage. The shoes were two different sizes. He wore an extra pair of socks on one foot to even them out. He still went on to win two gold medals — winning each event he competed in except for one, the javelin. The javelin was the only event he didn’t win, probably because he had never competed in that event before. It is interesting to note that Thorpe had tried to throw the javelin once before in the Olympic trials. At the time, he didn’t know that he could throw it with a running start. He threw it standing still and was placed second. At the Olympics, he also took part in the decathlon. He finished first in two events, third in four events, and fourth in two more. Thorpe ended up finishing third in the world. He was undoubtedly a dominating force that couldn’t be stopped and just kept on going. I think Paul Dughi said it best, “It’s hard to imagine now that pro athletes get paid millions of dollars just to wear a particular brand of shoes. For Jim Thorpe, it didn’t matter what kind he wore.” 4. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 mean? A. The adversity Thorpe met with led to his success. B. Thorpe’s success was no guarantee of a better life. C. Thorpe’s career brought him both gains and losses. D. Thorpe suffered many hardships despite his success. 5. Why did Thorpe wear more socks on one foot? A. To prevent the foot from injury. B. To make the shoe fit the foot. C. To stop the shoe from being stolen. D. To show his problem-solving skills. 6. What most likely led to Thorpe’s failure to win the javelin? A. Loss of his own sports shoes. B. A casual attitude towards the event. C. Lack of experience in the event. D. A shortage of talent for the event. 7. Who can Thorpe set an example to? A. Jack is in a dilemma about his future career. B. Steve always wants to expand his social circle. C. Paul ducks his head when encountering obstacles. D. Richard dreams big but never turn it into action. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了伟大的运动员Jim Thorpe的传奇人生。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“Thorpe was an American Indian from Oklahoma who developed his extraordinary athletic skills in his youth through hard labor. It was also in his youth that he learned to endure hardship brought upon by racial prejudice. Many would say his childhood was not easy. He grew up poor and at age 9 his twin brother passed away and a few years later he lost both of his parents.(Thorpe是一位来自俄克拉荷马州的美洲印第安人，他年轻时通过艰苦劳作培养出了非凡的运动技能。也正是在青年时期，他学会了忍受种族偏见带来的苦难。许多人会说他的童年并不容易。他在贫困中长大，9 岁时双胞胎兄弟去世，几年后又失去了双亲。)”以及下文对索普经历的描述，他虽有卓越的运动成就，但童年贫苦，遭受种族偏见，还在奥运会前遭遇鞋子被偷等困境。由此可知，第一段中划线句子“that did not make Thorpe a stranger to adversity”意思是尽管他成功了，但仍遭受许多艰难困苦。故选D项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Just hours before Thorpe was going to compete in the1912 Olympics, somebody stole his shoes. Thorpe improvised by getting shoes out of the garbage. The shoes were two different sizes. He wore an extra pair of socks on one foot to even them out.(就在Thorpe即将参加1912年奥运会比赛的几个小时前，有人偷走了他的鞋子。Thorpe从垃圾堆里找了一双鞋来应急。这两只鞋是两种不同的尺寸。他在一只脚上多穿了一双袜子，以使它们合脚。)”可知，Thorpe在一只脚上多穿了一双袜子是为了使鞋子合脚。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The javelin was the only event he didn’t win, probably because he had never competed in that event before.(标枪是他唯一没有赢的项目，可能是因为他以前从未参加过这个项目。)”可知，Thorpe在标枪比赛中失败最有可能的原因是缺乏比赛经验。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。文章主要讲述了Thorpe尽管面临诸多困难，包括失去亲人、鞋子被偷等，但他从未放弃，坚持追求自己的梦想，最终取得了巨大的成功。Thorpe的故事鼓励人们在面对困难和挑战时，要保持坚韧不拔的精神，勇敢追求自己的梦想。结合第五段中“He was undoubtedly a dominating force that couldn’t be stopped and just kept on going.(毫无疑问，他是一股不可阻挡的主导力量，始终坚持前行。)”可知，Thorpe是一个无法阻挡的主导力量，他一直在前进，由此可推测出，Thorpe可以为遇到障碍时总是低头的Paul树立榜样，让他知道在面对困难和挑战时，要保持坚韧不拔的精神，勇敢追求自己的梦想。故选C项。 C Vivid Sydney, known as Smart Light Sydney at first, was staged in 2009 with ordinary installations (现代雕塑装置) and limited money. Throughout the 2010s, Vivid inspired a number of smaller towns to explore the role of lighting in improving nightscapes and attracting visitors. In just a few years, Vivid has become a globally recognized celebration of light, music and ideas next to top visual festivals like the Berlin Festival of Lights. The highlights of this year’s Vivid Sydney include Julia Gutman’s animation work Echo, Sinclair Park’s installations Stateless and Humanity, and Tori-Jay Mordey’s Faces of Change. These works deal with global challenges like rising sea levels, the emotional struggles of humans, and the connection to nature. Additionally, the festival includes lighter attractions like the Tekno Train and parties at a 100-year-old heritage site. This year, Vivid again showcases great examples of what can be achieved through the creative use of light and technology. However, its success comes with challenges. Some experts consider that the festival stresses spectacle (壮观) in a way that overshadows creative goals. Besides, a range of business-supported installations have become centerpieces of the festival. The decision has sparked a debate over the focus of what started as a cultural community event. When we’re thinking about Vivid’s future, the environmental impact is also a key consideration. The festival’s heavy use of energy is a source of disagreement. Luckily, the festival’s website details actions it has taken to deliver on this front, including partly offsetting its carbon footprint, using more renewable power, encouraging public transport and going paper-free when possible. Along with challenges, there are also opportunities. Vivid could play a role in showcasing Australia’s local wisdom. Vivid’s future doesn’t necessarily rely on getting bigger and brighter but on the finer points of its content. From showing Australian lifestyles to highlighting typical architecture and lighting designs, Vivid holds the possibility of reinventing itself year on year and telling stories that touch people on a deeper level. 8. What can we learn about Vivid Sydney? A. It keeps growing in influence. B. It was first held in a small town. C. It celebrates wonderful landscapes. D. It was inspired by top light festivals. 9. What do this year’s Vivid shows feature? A. Protection of cultural heritage. B. Free talks with famous artists. C. Efforts to promote global trade. D. Exploration of common issues. 10. What challenge is Vivid facing? A. Reaching a much wider audience. B. Mixing technology with classic art. C. Balancing visual and artistic attraction. D. Encouraging more business participation. 11. What should Vivid’s future focus on according to the author? A. Including hands-on experiences. B. Reflecting local characteristics. C. Cooperating with more artists. D. Highlighting global styles. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了悉尼灯光节（Vivid Sydney）的相关情况，包括其发展、特色、面临的挑战和机遇。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Throughout the 2010s, Vivid inspired a number of smaller towns to explore the role of lighting in improving nightscapes and attracting visitors. In just a few years, Vivid has become a globally recognized celebration of light, music and ideas next to top visual festivals like the Berlin Festival of Lights.( 在整个2010年代，Vivid启发了许多小城镇探索照明在改善夜景和吸引游客方面的作用。在短短几年内，Vivid已经成为全球公认的光、音乐和思想的庆祝活动，仅次于柏林灯光节等顶级视觉节日。)” 可知，悉尼灯光节影响力不断扩大，激励了许多小镇，并且成为全球知名的庆典。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“These works deal with global challenges like rising sea levels, the emotional struggles of humans, and the connection to nature.( 这些作品涉及全球挑战，如海平面上升、人类的情感斗争以及与自然的联系。)”可知，今年悉尼灯光节的作品探讨了海平面上升、人类情感挣扎以及与自然的联系等全球性问题，也就是对常见问题的探索。故选D项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Some experts consider that the festival stresses spectacle (壮观) in a way that overshadows creative goals.( 一些专家认为，电影节在某种程度上强调了奇观，掩盖了创造性的目标。)”可知，悉尼灯光节面临的挑战是过于强调视觉壮观，从而掩盖了创意目标，即需要平衡视觉吸引力和艺术吸引力。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Vivid could play a role in showcasing Australia’s local wisdom. Vivid’s future doesn’t necessarily rely on getting bigger and brighter but on the finer points of its content. From showing Australian lifestyles to highlighting typical architecture and lighting designs, Vivid holds the possibility of reinventing itself year on year and telling stories that touch people on a deeper level.( Vivid可以在展示澳大利亚本土智慧方面发挥作用。Vivid的未来并不一定依赖于变得更大更亮，而是依赖于其内容的细节。从展示澳大利亚人的生活方式到突出典型的建筑和照明设计，Vivid每年都有可能重塑自己，并在更深层次上讲述触动人们的故事。)”可知，作者认为悉尼灯光节未来应聚焦于展示澳大利亚的地方特色，包括生活方式、典型建筑和灯光设计等。故选B项。 D Global warming is mainly caused by the increased emission of greenhouse gases in particular carbon dioxide produced by power stations that use huge amounts of fossil fuel to supply us with electricity. These greenhouse gases have an average lifetime in the atmosphere of 50 to 200 years. This means that even if we stopped the emission of greenhouse gases completely tomorrow, global warming would still continue for decades to come. The International Energy Agency(IEA) records the energy consumption worldwide and produces a forecast for the next 25 years. In their last energy outlook published in 2006, IEA predicted a strong increase of the carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 as a consequence of the increasing demand for energy worldwide. Additionally, IEA investigated to which extent the above mentioned emissions of CO₂ could be prevented if politics applied strict measures. One of many measures investigated was massive facilitation and stimulation for building additional nuclear power plants (核电站). Nuclear energy is used to generate electrical power without any sort of fossil fuel involved in the process. Therefore, CO₂ emission can indeed be reduced, if electricity power plants driven by fossil fuels were replaced by nuclear power plants. Yet, the application of nuclear power is highly risky and problematic; and so the problem of CO2 emissions must not be looked at independently of all other risks and problems. Some critics claim that nuclear energy’s emissions can compare to those of fossil-fuels’ when the life cycle impacts of nuclear power are considered. Although nuclear power plants do not release greenhouse gases when generating electricity, certain processes used to build and fuel the plants do, such as transporting the fuel to the plants in trucks. However, dozens of studies show that nuclear plants’ life cycle impacts are actually more comparable to those of renewable energy, such as wind and solar, and far less than those of coal-fired or natural gas-fired power plants. In the end we can say that nuclear energy could significantly contribute to reducing the cause of global warming. Having said that, it can also be a highly risky option if we shut the eyes to the many risks of nuclear power. 12. What can be inferred about greenhouse gases from paragraph 1? A. They can be restricted within a short time. B. They will reduce people’s average lifetime. C. They will keep increasing for decades to come. D. They have a lasting impact on global warming. 13. What is the purpose of the IEA’s investigation? A. To analyze the impact of global warming. B. To identify ways to reduce CO₂ emissions. C. To predict future energy consumption worldwide. D. To promote construction of nuclear power plants. 14. What is the author’s attitude towards nuclear energy? A. Tolerant. B. Objective. C. Disapproving. D. Conservative. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Solutions to Dealing with CO₂ Emissions B. IEA Energy Outlook for Decades to Come C. Is Nuclear Energy the Answer to Global Warming? D. How Can Human Beings Survive Global Warming? 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章探讨全球变暖与温室气体排放，聚焦核能在减少排放、缓解变暖方面的作用及风险，提出核能是否是应对之策的疑问 。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段第三句“This means that even if we stopped the emission of greenhouse gases completely tomorrow, global warming would still continue for decades to come.(这意味着，即使我们明天完全停止排放温室气体，全球变暖仍将在未来几十年继续)”可知，即使不再排放温室气体，全球变暖还会持续几十年。由此推知，温室气体对全球变暖有着持久的影响。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段第三句“Additionally, IEA investigated to which extent the above mentioned emissions of CO₂ could be prevented if politics applied strict measures.(此外，国际能源署调查了如果各国政府采取严格措施，上述二氧化碳排放可以在多大程度上得到预防)”可知，国际能源署调查的目的是确定减少二氧化碳排放的方法。故选B项。 14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In the end we can say that nuclear energy could significantly contribute to reducing the cause of global warming. Having said that, it can also be a highly risky option if we shut the eyes to the many risks of nuclear power.(最后，我们可以说，核能可以显著地有助于减少全球变暖的原因。话虽如此，如果我们对核能的许多风险视而不见，它也可能是一个风险极高的选择)”可知，作者既提到了核能有助于减少全球变暖的积极作用，又指出了忽视核能风险的危险性。由此推知，作者对核能的态度是客观的。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要讨论了全球变暖是由温室气体排放增加引起的，为了减少二氧化碳排放，国际能源署进行了调查，其中提到建设核电站这一措施，接着分析了核能在减少全球变暖方面的作用以及存在的风险，所以文章主要围绕核能是否是解决全球变暖问题的答案展开讨论。由此可知，Is Nuclear Energy the Answer to Global Warming?最适合作本文最佳标题。故选C项。 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Family Link has lots of advantages that may be favored by parents.

I would throw a frisbee to someone I didn’t know and they would throw it to someone they didn’t know. Before long, we had built a community of people who met every day at lunch to throw frisbees. Besides frisbees, the group decided to climb the mountain near our campus. When we reached the peak, it felt like we were at summer camp. We laughed, danced and told jokes.It was totally fun. While playing like little children in the cool mountain air, we all decided to do it again the following week. Our motto (座右铭) was “Bring a Friend” . We started out with a small group of hikers. But as the word spread, the number of participants increased.We made it a rule to climb the mountain every weekend. All of us were passionate about the fantastic experience, which we were looking forward to. One day on campus, I decided to throw my frisbee to some strangers, run over and invite them to climb the mountain. Much to my surprise, a girl sitting in a wheelchair got hold of it. Her name was Grace. I asked her if she had ever been to the top of the mountain.She said she hadn’t. Holding the wheelchair tightly, she hung down her head in awkward silence. Then she told me that she had suffered from lung disease when she was young and depended on oxygen twenty-four hours a day. So, it was impossible for her to move without help. Fortunately, things got better. With continuous efforts and treatment, she managed to live on her own with the assistance of the wheelchair: I told her that my friends and I would carry her if she were up for it. On hearing what I said, she refused without hesitation, adding that it would be a bother to carry her. But I tried my best to persuade her to come along with us by talking about the interesting experiences. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150 个左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Having thought for a while, Grace still refused my offer. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the downhilt path, Grace asked me why not run for the SU election. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Having thought for a while, Grace still refused my offer. Looking at her depressed and embarrassed expression, I didn’t want to quit persuading her. I showed her some pictures that were taken during our trip. She smiled, her eyes sparkling with excitement. Ultimately, I made it. On that appointed day, I, together with several friends, offered continuous assistance to her. With our joint efforts, we made it to the top of the mountain and admired the fantastic scenery. A sense of excitement took hold of her, tears rolling down her cheeks like broken pearls. She was so grateful to us and we became close friends. On the downhill path, Grace asked me why not run for the SU election. However, I didn’t have enough courage to run for it. Knowing I was in a dilemma, Grace had a sincere communication with me. “So kind and friendly are you that you helped me to enjoy the beautiful scenery and plan the weekend activity carefully. I am firmly convinced that you are capable of the work in the SU,” she said in a gentle voice. Inspired by her encouragement, I made a resolution to have a try. Having made full preparations, I was chosen chairman of the SU, which was beyond my expectations. Indeed, it is the mutual trust and help between friends that do make a great difference to us. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，本文讲述了主人公和格蕾丝之间的友谊故事。格蕾丝因年轻时患肺病而需要使用轮椅，但在主人公和朋友的帮助下，克服了困难并一起登上了山顶，享受了美丽的风景。在下山的路上，格蕾丝鼓励主人公参加学生会选举，并最终成功当选主席。文章表达了友谊和互相帮助的重要性。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“想了一会儿，格蕾丝还是拒绝了我的提议。”可知，第一段可描写作者从一开始的失望到格蕾丝最终答应接受我们提供帮助的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“在下坡路上，格蕾丝问我为什么不参加学生会的选举。”可知，第二段可描写作者在格蕾丝的鼓励下，最终成功被选为学生会主席。 2.续写线索：拒绝了我的提议——不想放弃说服——最终答应接受帮助——成为好朋友——建议作者参加选举——成功当选 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①放弃：quit /give up ②提供：offered /provided ③欣赏：admire/ appreciate 情绪类 ①尴尬的：embarrassed / awkward ②感激的：grateful / thankful/ appreciative 【点睛】[高分句型1] Looking at her depressed and embarrassed expression, I didn’t want to quit persuading her.（运用了非谓语动词中的现在分词作状语。） [高分句型2] Having made full preparations, I was chosen chairman of the SU, which was beyond my expectations.（运用了which引导的非限制性定语从句。） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 交大附中2024~2025学年第二学期 高二年级期中考试英语试题 说明：本次考试试题满分150分，考试时长120分钟。包括听力(30分)，阅读理解(50分)，完形填空(15分)，语法填空(15分)和书面表达(40分)五部分。 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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.

Here, three women share the biggest motivators in their weight-loss journeys and the simple changes they made to actually achieve their health goals. Alyssa Greene The stress of starting college and continuous late nights caused Alyssa Greene to develop an unhealthy relationship with her body. Though she exercised, she didn’t pay much attention to her diet and her overall health until she realized a change had to be made. Over the next 2.5 years, she self-educated about nutrition and learnt what and how much to eat to get the results she wanted. Today, Greene has lost 50 pounds and relies on self-discipline as her key motivator. “I do what I want for me, no one else,” she says. “For people who have a hard time making a lifestyle change because of family or friends or a significant other, it really boils down to discipline.” Tanisha Commodore For years, Tanisha Commodore left no stone unturned when it came to weight loss strategies. After trying countless workout programmes and weight-loss diets, the desperate influencer began entertaining the idea of going to Mexico for weight-loss surgery when her friend happened to recommend a special diet. Over eight months, Commodore lost 80 pounds. “You didn’t put it on overnight, so don’t expect to lose it overnight,” she notes. Denita Elizabeth At one point, Denita Elizabeth weighed over 250 pounds and couldn’t remember what it felt like to be healthy. Having made up her mind to make a change, Elizabeth signed up for a SoulCycle membership. Today she’s lost 100 pounds. “Not only had my strength increased, but my whole body composition changed,” says Elizabeth. “Remember: you need to develop discipline and commitment for the moments when you don’t feel like it.” 1. How did Greene lose weight? A. By working out. B. By changing eating habits. C By enhancing motivation. D. By going to bed early. 2. What does Commodore suggest people do? A. Try different strategies. B. Eat a strict diet. C. Be patient. D. Get gym membership. 3. What do Greene and Elizabeth have in common? A. They are college students. B. They are disciplined. C. They are motivated by others. D. They have achieved their goals quickly. B Jim Thorpe is one of the greatest athletes of all time. He had amazing athletic abilities and was well-known during his lifetime, yet that did not make Thorpe a stranger to adversity. Thorpe was an American Indian from Oklahoma who developed his extraordinary athletic skills in his youth through hard labor. It was also in his youth that he learned to endure hardship brought upon by racial prejudice. Many would say his childhood was not easy. He grew up poor and at age 9 his twin brother passed away and a few years later he lost both of his parents. But that did not stop him from doing what he loved and pursuing his dreams. Nothing seemed to stop him, not even stolen shoes. Just hours before Thorpe was going to compete in the1912 Olympics, somebody stole his shoes. Thorpe improvised(临时拼凑) by getting shoes out of the garbage. The shoes were two different sizes. He wore an extra pair of socks on one foot to even them out. He still went on to win two gold medals — winning each event he competed in except for one, the javelin. The javelin was the only event he didn’t win, probably because he had never competed in that event before. It is interesting to note that Thorpe had tried to throw the javelin once before in the Olympic trials. At the time, he didn’t know that he could throw it with a running start. He threw it standing still and was placed second. At the Olympics, he also took part in the decathlon. He finished first in two events, third in four events, and fourth in two more. Thorpe ended up finishing third in the world. He was undoubtedly a dominating force that couldn’t be stopped and just kept on going. I think Paul Dughi said it best, “It’s hard to imagine now that pro athletes get paid millions of dollars just to wear a particular brand of shoes. For Jim Thorpe, it didn’t matter what kind he wore.” 4. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 mean? A. The adversity Thorpe met with led to his success. B. Thorpe’s success was no guarantee of a better life. C. Thorpe’s career brought him both gains and losses. D. Thorpe suffered many hardships despite his success. 5. Why did Thorpe wear more socks on one foot? A. To prevent the foot from injury. B. To make the shoe fit the foot. C. To stop the shoe from being stolen. D To show his problem-solving skills. 6. What most likely led to Thorpe’s failure to win the javelin? A. Loss of his own sports shoes. B. A casual attitude towards the event. C. Lack of experience in the event. D. A shortage of talent for the event. 7. Who can Thorpe set an example to? A. Jack is in a dilemma about his future career. B. Steve always wants to expand his social circle. C. Paul ducks his head when encountering obstacles. D. Richard dreams big but never turn it into action. C Vivid Sydney, known as Smart Light Sydney at first, was staged in 2009 with ordinary installations (现代雕塑装置) and limited money. Throughout the 2010s, Vivid inspired a number of smaller towns to explore the role of lighting in improving nightscapes and attracting visitors. In just a few years, Vivid has become a globally recognized celebration of light, music and ideas next to top visual festivals like the Berlin Festival of Lights. The highlights of this year’s Vivid Sydney include Julia Gutman’s animation work Echo, Sinclair Park’s installations Stateless and Humanity, and Tori-Jay Mordey’s Faces of Change. These works deal with global challenges like rising sea levels, the emotional struggles of humans, and the connection to nature. Additionally, the festival includes lighter attractions like the Tekno Train and parties at a 100-year-old heritage site. This year, Vivid again showcases great examples of what can be achieved through the creative use of light and technology. However, its success comes with challenges. Some experts consider that the festival stresses spectacle (壮观) in a way that overshadows creative goals. Besides, a range of business-supported installations have become centerpieces of the festival. The decision has sparked a debate over the focus of what started as a cultural community event. When we’re thinking about Vivid’s future the environmental impact is also a key consideration. The festival’s heavy use of energy is a source of disagreement. Luckily, the festival’s website details actions it has taken to deliver on this front, including partly offsetting its carbon footprint, using more renewable power, encouraging public transport and going paper-free when possible. Along with challenges, there are also opportunities. Vivid could play a role in showcasing Australia’s local wisdom. Vivid’s future doesn’t necessarily rely on getting bigger and brighter but on the finer points of its content. From showing Australian lifestyles to highlighting typical architecture and lighting designs, Vivid holds the possibility of reinventing itself year on year and telling stories that touch people on a deeper level. 8. What can we learn about Vivid Sydney? A. It keeps growing in influence. B. It was first held in a small town. C. It celebrates wonderful landscapes. D. It was inspired by top light festivals. 9. What do this year’s Vivid shows feature? A. Protection of cultural heritage. B. Free talks with famous artists. C. Efforts to promote global trade. D. Exploration of common issues. 10. What challenge is Vivid facing? A. Reaching a much wider audience. B. Mixing technology with classic art. C. Balancing visual and artistic attraction. D. Encouraging more business participation. 11. What should Vivid’s future focus on according to the author? A. Including hands-on experiences. B. Reflecting local characteristics. C. Cooperating with more artists. D. Highlighting global styles. D Global warming is mainly caused by the increased emission of greenhouse gases, in particular carbon dioxide produced by power stations that use huge amounts of fossil fuel to supply us with electricity. These greenhouse gases have an average lifetime in the atmosphere of 50 to 200 years. This means that even if we stopped the emission of greenhouse gases completely tomorrow, global warming would still continue for decades to come. The International Energy Agency(IEA) records the energy consumption worldwide and produces a forecast for the next 25 years. In their last energy outlook published in 2006, IEA predicted a strong increase of the carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 as a consequence of the increasing demand for energy worldwide. Additionally, IEA investigated to which extent the above mentioned emissions of CO₂ could be prevented if politics applied strict measures. One of many measures investigated was massive facilitation and stimulation for building additional nuclear power plants (核电站). Nuclear energy is used to generate electrical power without any sort of fossil fuel involved in the process. Therefore, CO₂ emission can indeed be reduced, if electricity power plants driven by fossil fuels were replaced by nuclear power plants. Yet, the application of nuclear power is highly risky and problematic; and so the problem of CO2 emissions must not be looked at independently of all other risks and problems. Some critics claim that nuclear energy’s emissions can compare to those of fossil-fuels’ when the life cycle impacts of nuclear power are considered. Although nuclear power plants do not release greenhouse gases when generating electricity, certain processes used to build and fuel the plants do, such as transporting the fuel to the plants in trucks. However, dozens of studies show that nuclear plants’ life cycle impacts are actually more comparable to those of renewable energy, such as wind and solar, and far less than those of coal-fired or natural gas-fired power plants. In the end we can say that nuclear energy could significantly contribute to reducing the cause of global warming. Having said that, it can also be a highly risky option if we shut the eyes to the many risks of nuclear power. 12. What can be inferred about greenhouse gases from paragraph 1? A. They can be restricted within a short time. B. They will reduce people’s average lifetime. C. They will keep increasing for decades to come. D. They have a lasting impact on global warming. 13. What is the purpose of the IEA’s investigation? A. To analyze the impact of global warming. B. To identify ways to reduce CO₂ emissions. C. To predict future energy consumption worldwide. D. To promote construction of nuclear power plants. 14. What is the author’s attitude towards nuclear energy? A. Tolerant. B. Objective. C. Disapproving. D. Conservative. 15.

I would throw a frisbee to someone I didn’t know and they would throw it to someone they didn’t know. Before long, we had built a community of people who met every day at lunch to throw frisbees. Besides frisbees, the group decided to climb the mountain near our campus. When we reached the peak, it felt like we were at summer camp. We laughed, danced and told jokes.It was totally fun. While playing like little children in the cool mountain air, we all decided to do it again the following week. Our motto (座右铭) was “Bring a Friend” . We started out with a small group of hikers. But as the word spread, the number of participants increased.We made it a rule to climb the mountain every weekend. All of us were passionate about the fantastic experience, which we were looking forward to. One day on campus, I decided to throw my frisbee to some strangers, run over and invite them to climb the mountain. Much to my surprise, a girl sitting in a wheelchair got hold of it. Her name was Grace. I asked her if she had ever been to the top of the mountain.She said she hadn’t. Holding the wheelchair tightly, she hung down her head in awkward silence. Then she told me that she had suffered from lung disease when she was young and depended on oxygen twenty-four hours a day. So, it was impossible for her to move without help. Fortunately, things got better. With continuous efforts and treatment, she managed to live on her own with the assistance of the wheelchair: I told her that my friends and I would carry her if she were up for it. On hearing what I said, she refused without hesitation, adding that it would be a bother to carry her. But I tried my best to persuade her to come along with us by talking about the interesting experiences. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150 个左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Having thought for a while, Grace still refused my offer. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the downhilt path, Grace asked me why not run for the SU election. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
