However, having the capacity to make a difference in the life of not one, but many, is something I desire to,” says 19-year-old Amatulah Vahanwalla. Evidently, she walks the talk. It all began in November 2015, when Amatulah and Niharika Jaju, Class XI students, were discussing their community service project. Niharika told Amatulah about her first hair donation experience at the age of nine and that she was eager to do it again. This set off a chain of brainstorming sessions, and they came up with a hair donation drive — Hair for Happiness (HH). The proceeds (收益) of the campaign go to the Little Prince Trust, a British non-profit that helps create wigs made from real hair for children suffering from hair loss due to illness. “Painstaking research goes into finding physical treatments for serious diseases. However, it makes me sad that people who are suffering are treated like numbers on a graph, nothing more and nothing less,” says Niharika. Motivation for helping a child regain self-esteem helped them overcome obstacles. Initially, all the hair donation organizations only accepted longer strands (12 to 13 inches) of untreated hair. “But the Little Princess Trust (LPT) had a minimum requirement of seven inches of hair to make wigs and donate wigs,” says Amatulah. This opened up a bigger door for cooperation. However, another struggle was to find enough donors. Through promotions in schools, departments, as well as salons like Cracle, and reaching out to volunteer hairstylists, they eventually made it. Since the initiative was consistent with their social responsibility goals, some companies provided funds by covering the cost for larger drives. “I think the moment I finally realized the significance of our creation was when we crossed 100 donations,” says Niharika. This, when they assumed it would take a “miracle to reach even 10 donations”. 24. What inspired the creation of HH? A. Amatulah’s desire to change the world. B. Niharika’s hair donation experience. C. The low self-esteem of sick children. D. The difficulties of treating rare diseases. 25. What upset Niharika according to paragraph 2? A. The lack of hair donors. B. The ignorance of human-centered care. C. The imbalance of medical resources. D. The overemphasis on medical treatment. 26. What fostered the partnership between HH and LPT? A. LPT’s less demanding conditions. B. LPT’s established reputation. C. HH’s pressing need for hair. D. HH’s constant innovation. 27. Why did some companies sponsor the project? A. To enhance corporate image. B. To strengthen bonds between schools. C. To spread awareness of charity. D. To fulfill their mission of public welfare. C This new school year, I wanted my love for my students to be super adaptive, a little bit blind, and similar to the kind of love a mother gives to her children. I wanted a love that could put up with unappealing personalities and behaviors, which had the ability to lead to my “I wish he or she was not in my class” response, with humor, peace, and curiosity. I decided to go toward the most difficult students with additional kindness, rather than backing away in frustration when my former attempts to change them failed. The changes in my education were faint yet definite. I had always taken students aside when they made poor decisions. But my new plan asked questions that were free of scolding or shame, and more gentle and sincere. Are you feeling all right? Is something bothering you? What happened last night? These questions rarely led to any big “ah ha” moments, but I treated each repeated conversation with patience. Although my love plan was designed to improve my students’ school experience, it completely improved mine as well. It worked magic on my relationships with students and energised me for the school day. My difficult students represented puzzles to solve and relationships to improve, not frightening trouble that would exhaust my joy. Letting go of the assumption that their behaviors must be purposive choices, I was able to avoid feelings of resentment (怨恨) when my students made mistakes. I felt more peaceful and less angry. Loving my students also got easier as the year progressed. I wondered whether my approach would work in the long run. Now it turns out that love brings love. 28. What was the author’s desire in the new term? A. To seek students’ shining points. B. To respect students’ suggestions. C. To be more tolerant of students. D. To show an interest in teaching. 29. What was the change in the author’s education? A. She cared about students’ sleep quality. B. She took badly-behaved students aside. C. She made efforts to lift students’ spirits. D. She offered students chances to explain. 30. What was the impact of the author’s love plan? A. It enabled her to find self-worth. B. It made her feel more composed. C. It guided students to be honest. D. It gave students more spare time. 31 What can we learn from the author’s experience? A. One action can bring two gains. B. There is some light in the dark. C. All the worries are for nothing. D. Facts speak louder than words. D People’s tendency to follow trends, especially on social media even when they look silly or take risks doing so — is definitely a common phenomenon. What does psychology say about trend following — and is there a way to break free from the desire to follow the newest craze? According to Psychologist Pamela B. Rutledge, following trends isn’t a sign of character weakness or mental instability. Rather, it is an entirely natural behavior embedded in humanity’s fundamental need to belong to a social group and establish connections with others Historically, following trends was crucial for our survival Archaeologists have uncovered evidence that early humans worked together to transport stone tools over long distances about two million years ago in what is now Kenya — cooperation that allowed them to survive in a severe environment. And though following a trend on social media isn’t exactly as important as outrunning a saber-toothed tiger, human evolution has programmed our brains to be receptive to social signals. Another contributing factor the social cognition — he processes that determine what we notice and how we respond to others — largely takes place in the parts of the brain that oversee sight, pattern recognition, decision-making, empathy, and similar functions. “Thanks to our humans’ complex cognitive systems, our brains are really good at identifying patterns and stimulating behavior that communicates our social status. As a result, you can use almost anything to signal your membership or affiliation with a social group. Giving off the right social signals lets others know which group you belong to or want to engage with — and those signals are monitored and interpreted by others. Referred to as identity signaling, these behaviors can range from putting a bumper sticker on a car to selecting a brand of clothing,” said Rutledge. Almost everyone follows trends in social groups, without exception. However, tweens, teenagers, and young adults are especially likely to follow trends, including risky ones, due to their heightened desire for acceptance and belonging among peers. Therefore, it’s of great significance to guide them during their journey towards maturity. 32. What does Rutledge think of following trends? A. Changeable. B. Reasonable. C. Odd. D. Risky. 33. Why did early humans prefer to follow trends? A. To remove mental weakness. B. To show their social status. C. To live through difficulties. D. To expand their population. 34. What is the hidden meaning of identity signaling? A. Good taste in fashion. B. Blind pursuit of novelty. C. A true reflection of personality. D. A keen thirst for belonging. 35. What will the follow-up paragraph most probably talk about? A. Tips on embracing trends sensibly. B. Insights into forthcoming trends. C. Parental guidance in kids’ future jobs. D. Psychology behind trend adoption 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。 I have six different apple trees in my small forest garden. This means there are a lot of apples to harvest each year. ___36___ Over time, I developed strategies to handle it smoothly. Here’s my advice for you. Understand what apples you are growing. Apples ripen (成熟) at different times. ___37___ This will vary a little with conditions from year to year. However, having a rough idea of when you will be harvesting allows you to prepare. ___38___ Some pieces of equipment are crucial for the apple harvest. A kitchen juicer isn’t enough; invest in a metal hand-turned macerator (浸渍机) and a wood-and-metal fruit press. These make processing easier. Also, have a suitable storage area ready, along with canning jars (罐子) and other necessities. Consider investing in a fruit picker. It is a picker with an extendable pole that can reach apples even from the very top of the trees. ___39___ One final tip that I would like to share is very simple: Many hands make light work. If you have a lot of apples to harvest, consider inviting some family or friends and have an apple picking party — then share your harvest, of course. ___40___ It also supports the goals of sustainable living. These tips may sound basic, but they ensure a smoother apple harvest and prevent waste of your beautiful, delicious apples. With the right preparations, apple harvesting becomes a manageable and enjoyable task each year. A. Now with it, apple harvesting isn’t boring. B. Prepare storage areas and required equipment. C. So the apple picking will become quicker and easier. D. It took me a while to recognize different apple varieties. E. Initially, the apple harvest was exciting but challenging. F. This cooperative approach makes the task more efficient. G. Therefore it is helpful to know when your harvest should take place. 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。 It was a great matter of life and death for Juliane Koepcke.

As he approached the First National Bank this morning, he saw a young man trying to start his car. The young man tried again and again but still failed to get the car moving. “It looks like you’ve got a problem,” Derby said. “I’m afraid so,” replied the young man, who looked very worried. “I’m in a big hurry, but I can’t start my car!” “Is there anything I can do to help?” Derby asked. The young man looked at the two suitcases in the back seat and then said, “Thanks. If you’re sure it wouldn’t be too much trouble, you could help me get these suitcases to the taxi stop. I have called for a taxi and it is coming.” “No trouble at all. I’d be glad to help,” Derby said. The young man took the suitcases from the back seat and handed them to Derby. After Derby walked about 100 meters, the air was suddenly filled with gun shots and sharp sounds from police cars across the streets. “Bank robbery (抢劫)!” one bystander shouted and the crowds on the street started running in all directions. Still carrying the suitcases, Derby joined the crowds and started running, too. Distracted (分心) by the gun shots, Derby ran right into a young woman in front of him. She turned around and looked at the suitcases with a very strange expression on the face. “Why is she looking at me like that?” Derby wondered “The suitcases! She thinks I’m one of the thieves!” His doubt was confirmed immediately when the woman started yelling, “The thief! The thief!” Suddenly, the crowds turned toward Derby. Feeling threatened, Derby ran even faster. To make things worse, the young man also shouted, “Stop! Stop!” “Why is he shouting? Are these suitcases full of the stolen money?” Derby thought. “I would be killed by the crowds if I were caught now while the young man refused to tell the truth!” 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 considered all the possibilities, Derby decided to run to the police station. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ But after the policemen unlocked the suitcases, they appeared very confused. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2022级高三下期5月月考 英语试题 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) 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 Where are the speakers?

C 【解析】 【原文】 W: A heart-broken image captures a young polar bear sleeping on the melting pieces of a tiny iceberg. British part-time photographer Nima Sarikhani captured the scene in Svalbard, which sits deep inside the Arctic Circle, around 500 miles from the North Pole. The image was crowned the winner of this year’s Wildlife Photographer of the Year People’s Choice Award. After three days of desperately searching for polar bears through thick fog, Sarikhani finally spotted two polar bears — a younger male and an older male. Just before midnight, as the ship got close to the bears, the younger one climbed onto a small iceberg and carved out a bed with his paws before falling asleep. Sarikhani said this photograph has caused strong emotions in many of those who have seen it. An estimated 26,000 polar bears remain in the wild, and they are at the risk of dying out as rising temperatures melt away the sea ice these animals depend on. Director of the Natural History Museum said, “The heartbreaking image allows us to see the beauty and fragility of our planet. His thought-provoking image is a striking reminder of the essential bond between an animal and its habitat and serves as a visual representation of the harmful impacts of climate warming and habitat loss.” Sarikhani said he hoped his photograph could inspire hope. He added there is still time to fix the mess we have caused. 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Imagine Cup 2025 Season Dream it. Build it. Live it.

However, having the capacity to make a difference in the life of not one, but many, is something I desire to,” says 19-year-old Amatulah Vahanwalla. Evidently, she walks the talk. It all began in November 2015, when Amatulah and Niharika Jaju, Class XI students, were discussing their community service project. Niharika told Amatulah about her first hair donation experience at the age of nine and that she was eager to do it again. This set off a chain of brainstorming sessions, and they came up with a hair donation drive — Hair for Happiness (HH). The proceeds (收益) of the campaign go to the Little Prince Trust, a British non-profit that helps create wigs made from real hair for children suffering from hair loss due to illness. “Painstaking research goes into finding physical treatments for serious diseases. However, it makes me sad that people who are suffering are treated like numbers on a graph, nothing more and nothing less,” says Niharika. Motivation for helping a child regain self-esteem helped them overcome obstacles. Initially, all the hair donation organizations only accepted longer strands (12 to 13 inches) of untreated hair. “But the Little Princess Trust (LPT) had a minimum requirement of seven inches of hair to make wigs and donate wigs,” says Amatulah. This opened up a bigger door for cooperation. However, another struggle was to find enough donors. Through promotions in schools, departments, as well as salons like Cracle, and reaching out to volunteer hairstylists, they eventually made it. Since the initiative was consistent with their social responsibility goals, some companies provided funds by covering the cost for larger drives. “I think the moment I finally realized the significance of our creation was when we crossed 100 donations” says Niharika. This, when they assumed it would take a “miracle to reach even 10 donations”. 24. What inspired the creation of HH? A. Amatulah’s desire to change the world. B. Niharika’s hair donation experience. C. The low self-esteem of sick children. D. The difficulties of treating rare diseases. 25. What upset Niharika according to paragraph 2? A. The lack of hair donors. B. The ignorance of human-centered care. C. The imbalance of medical resources. D. The overemphasis on medical treatment. 26. What fostered the partnership between HH and LPT? A. LPT’s less demanding conditions. B. LPT’s established reputation. C. HH’s pressing need for hair. D. HH’s constant innovation. 27. Why did some companies sponsor the project? A. To enhance corporate image. B. To strengthen bonds between schools. C. To spread awareness of charity. D. To fulfill their mission of public welfare. 【答案】24. B 25. B 26. A 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了阿马图拉和妮哈瑞卡发起头发捐赠活动帮助患病儿童的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Niharika told Amatulah about her first hair donation experience at the age of nine and that she was eager to do it again. This set off a chain of brainstorming sessions, and they came up with a hair donation drive — Hair for Happiness (HH).(妮哈瑞卡告诉阿马图拉她九岁时第一次捐赠头发的经历，并且她渴望再次这样做。这引发了一系列的头脑风暴会议，然后他们想出了一个头发捐赠活动——为幸福捐发（HH）)” 可知，妮哈瑞卡九岁时的第一次捐发经历启发了HH的创立。故选B。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中““Painstaking research goes into finding physical treatments for serious diseases. However, it makes me sad that people who are suffering are treated like numbers on a graph, nothing more and nothing less,” says Niharika.(妮哈瑞卡说：“为了找到治疗严重疾病的物理疗法，人们进行了艰苦的研究。然而，让我难过的是，那些受苦的人被当作图表上的数字来对待，不多不少”)” 可知，妮哈瑞卡感到难过的是人们只关注疾病的治疗，而忽视了以人为本的关怀，即对患者的人文关怀不足。故选B。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Initially, all the hair donation organizations only accepted longer strands (12 to 13 inches) of untreated hair. “But the Little Princess Trust (LPT) had a minimum requirement of seven inches of hair to make wigs and donate wigs,” says Amatulah. This opened up a bigger door for cooperation.(最初，所有的头发捐赠组织只接受较长的（12 到 13 英寸）未处理过的头发。阿马图拉说：“但是小公主信托基金（LPT）制作假发和捐赠假发的最低要求是七英寸的头发。”这为合作打开了更大的门)”可知，LPT对头发长度的要求较低，这促进了HH和LPT之间的合作。故选A。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Since the initiative was consistent with their social responsibility goals, some companies provided funds by covering the cost for larger drives.(由于这项倡议符合他们的社会责任目标，一些公司通过支付更大规模活动的费用来提供资金)”可知，一些公司赞助这个项目是因为这个项目符合他们的社会责任目标，即履行公共福利的使命。故选D。 C This new school year, I wanted my love for my students to be super adaptive, a little bit blind, and similar to the kind of love a mother gives to her children. I wanted a love that could put up with unappealing personalities and behaviors, which had the ability to lead to my “I wish he or she was not in my class” response, with humor, peace, and curiosity. I decided to go toward the most difficult students with additional kindness, rather than backing away in frustration when my former attempts to change them failed. The changes in my education were faint yet definite. I had always taken students aside when they made poor decisions. But my new plan asked questions that were free of scolding or shame, and more gentle and sincere. Are you feeling all right? Is something bothering you? What happened last night? These questions rarely led to any big “ah ha” moments, but I treated each repeated conversation with patience. Although my love plan was designed to improve my students’ school experience, it completely improved mine as well. It worked magic on my relationships with students and energised me for the school day. My difficult students represented puzzles to solve and relationships to improve, not frightening trouble that would exhaust my joy. Letting go of the assumption that their behaviors must be purposive choices, I was able to avoid feelings of resentment (怨恨) when my students made mistakes. I felt more peaceful and less angry. Loving my students also got easier as the year progressed. I wondered whether my approach would work in the long run. Now it turns out that love brings love. 28. What was the author’s desire in the new term? A. To seek students’ shining points. B. To respect students’ suggestions. C. To be more tolerant of students. D. To show an interest in teaching. 29. What was the change in the author’s education? A. She cared about students’ sleep quality. B. She took badly-behaved students aside. C. She made efforts to lift students’ spirits. D. She offered students chances to explain. 30. What was the impact of the author’s love plan? A. It enabled her to find self-worth. B. It made her feel more composed. C. It guided students to be honest. D. It gave students more spare time. 31. What can we learn from the author’s experience? A. One action can bring two gains. B. There is some light in the dark. C. All the worries are for nothing. D. Facts speak louder than words. 【答案】28. C 29. D 30. B 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了自己在新学年采取的一种新的教育方式——对学生展现出超级有适应力、略带盲目且类似母爱的爱，以及这种教育方式给自己和学生带来的积极变化。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“This new school year, I wanted my love for my students to be super adaptive, a little bit blind, and similar to the kind of love a mother gives to her children. I wanted a love that could put up with unappealing personalities and behaviors, which had the ability to lead to my “I wish he or she was not in my class” response, with humor, peace, and curiosity.(这个新学年，我希望我对学生的爱超级有适应力，有点盲目，类似于母亲对孩子的爱。我想要一种可以忍受不讨人喜欢的个性和行为的爱，这种爱能够让我用幽默、平和与好奇来回应“我希望他或她不在我的班上”)”可知，作者在新学期想要对学生更加宽容。故选C。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“I had always taken students aside when they made poor decisions. But my new plan asked questions that were free of scolding or shame, and more gentle and sincere. Are you feeling all right? Is something bothering you? What happened last night? These questions rarely led to any big “ah ha” moments, but I treated each repeated conversation with patience.( 过去，每当学生做出糟糕的决定时，我总是会把他们叫到一旁。但我的新计划是提出一些不带责骂或羞辱意味的问题，而且更加温和真诚。比如：你感觉还好吗？是不是有什么事让你烦恼？昨晚发生什么事了？这些问题很少能带来什么重大的“顿悟”时刻，但我每次都会耐心地对待这些反复出现的谈话)”可知，作者教育方面的变化是她给学生解释的机会。故选D。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Letting go of the assumption that their behaviors must be purposive choices, I was able to avoid feelings of resentment (怨恨) when my students made mistakes. I felt more peaceful and less angry.(不再假设他们的行为一定是有目的的选择，当我的学生犯错时，我就能避免怨恨的感觉。我感到更平静，更少生气)”可知，作者的爱计划的影响是它让她感到更平静。故选B。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Although my love plan was designed to improve my students' school experience, it completely improved mine as well. It worked magic on my relationships with students and energized me for the school day.(虽然我的爱计划是为了改善学生的学习体验而设计的，但它也完全改善了我的学习体验。它对我与学生之间的关系产生了神奇的影响，让我在学校里充满活力)”以及最后一段中“Now it turns out that love brings love.(现在看来，爱能带来爱)”可推知，我们能从作者的经历中学到“一举两得”的道理。故选A。 D People’s tendency to follow trends, especially on social media even when they look silly or take risks doing so — is definitely a common phenomenon. What does psychology say about trend following — and is there a way to break free from the desire to follow the newest craze? According to Psychologist Pamela B. Rutledge, following trends isn’t a sign of character weakness or mental instability. Rather, it is an entirely natural behavior embedded in humanity’s fundamental need to belong to a social group and establish connections with others Historically, following trends was crucial for our survival Archaeologists have uncovered evidence that early humans worked together to transport stone tools over long distances about two million years ago in what is now Kenya — cooperation that allowed them to survive in a severe environment. And though following a trend on social media isn’t exactly as important as outrunning a saber-toothed tiger, human evolution has programmed our brains to be receptive to social signals. Another contributing factor the social cognition — he processes that determine what we notice and how we respond to others — largely takes place in the parts of the brain that oversee sight, pattern recognition, decision-making, empathy, and similar functions. “Thanks to our humans’ complex cognitive systems, our brains are really good at identifying patterns and stimulating behavior that communicates our social status. As a result, you can use almost anything to signal your membership or affiliation with a social group. Giving off the right social signals lets others know which group you belong to or want to engage with — and those signals are monitored and interpreted by others. Referred to as identity signaling, these behaviors can range from putting a bumper sticker on a car to selecting a brand of clothing,” said Rutledge. Almost everyone follows trends in social groups, without exception. However, tweens, teenagers, and young adults are especially likely to follow trends, including risky ones, due to their heightened desire for acceptance and belonging among peers. Therefore, it’s of great significance to guide them during their journey towards maturity. 32. What does Rutledge think of following trends? A. Changeable. B. Reasonable. C. Odd. D. Risky. 33. Why did early humans prefer to follow trends? A. To remove mental weakness. B. To show their social status. C. To live through difficulties. D. To expand their population. 34. What is the hidden meaning of identity signaling? A. Good taste in fashion. B. Blind pursuit of novelty. C. A true reflection of personality. D. A keen thirst for belonging. 35. What will the follow-up paragraph most probably talk about? A. Tips on embracing trends sensibly. B. Insights into forthcoming trends. C. Parental guidance in kids’ future jobs. D. Psychology behind trend adoption 【答案】32. B 33. C 34. D 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人们追随潮流的心理原因，以及青少年追随潮流的现象和引导他们的重要性。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“According to Psychologist Pamela B. Rutledge, following trends isn’t a sign of character weakness or mental instability. Rather, it is an entirely natural behavior embedded in humanity’s fundamental need to belong to a social group and establish connections with others.(心理学家Pamela B. Rutledge认为，追随潮流并不是性格软弱或精神不稳定的标志。相反，这是一种完全自然的行为，植根于人类归属社会群体和与他人建立联系的基本需求。)”可知，Rutledge认为追随潮流是合理的。故选B。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Historically, following trends was crucial for our survival. Archaeologists have uncovered evidence that early humans worked together to transport stone tools over long distances about two million years ago in what is now Kenya—cooperation that allowed them to survive in a severe environment.(从历史上看，追随潮流对我们的生存至关重要。考古学家已经发现证据，大约200万年前，在现在的肯尼亚，早期人类曾一起长途运输石器——这种合作使他们能够在恶劣的环境中生存下来)”可知，早期人类追随潮流是为了度过难关。故选C。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Giving off the right social signals lets others know which group you belong to or want to engage with—and those signals are monitored and interpreted by others. Referred to as identity signaling, these behaviors can range from posting a comment online to selecting a brand of clothing.(发出正确的社交信号可以让别人知道你属于哪个群体，或者想与哪个群体交往——而这些信号会被其他人监控和解读。这些行为被称为身份信号，范围可以从在网上发表评论到选择某个品牌的服装。)”可推知，身份信号的隐藏含义是对归属的强烈渴望。故选D。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Almost everyone follows trends in social groups, without exception. However, teenagers, and young adults are especially likely to follow trends, including risky ones, due to their heightened desire for acceptance and belonging among peers. Therefore, it’s of great significance to guide them during their journey towards maturity.(几乎每个人都会在社交群体中追随潮流，无一例外。然而，由于青少年和年轻成年人对同龄人的接纳和归属感有着更强烈的渴望，他们尤其可能追随潮流，包括一些有风险的潮流。因此，在他们走向成熟的旅程中引导他们具有重要意义。)”可推知，接下来的段落最有可能讨论帮助孩子明智地接受潮流的建议。故选A。 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。 I have six different apple trees in my small forest garden.

As he approached the First National Bank this morning, he saw a young man trying to start his car. The young man tried again and again but still failed to get the car moving. “It looks like you’ve got a problem,” Derby said. “I’m afraid so,” replied the young man, who looked very worried. “I’m in a big hurry, but I can’t start my car!” “Is there anything I can do to help?” Derby asked. The young man looked at the two suitcases in the back seat and then said, “Thanks. If you’re sure it wouldn’t be too much trouble, you could help me get these suitcases to the taxi stop. I have called for a taxi and it is coming.” “No trouble at all. I’d be glad to help,” Derby said. The young man took the suitcases from the back seat and handed them to Derby. After Derby walked about 100 meters, the air was suddenly filled with gun shots and sharp sounds from police cars across the streets. “Bank robbery (抢劫)!” one bystander shouted and the crowds on the street started running in all directions. Still carrying the suitcases, Derby joined the crowds and started running, too. Distracted (分心) by the gun shots, Derby ran right into a young woman in front of him. She turned around and looked at the suitcases with a very strange expression on the face. “Why is she looking at me like that?” Derby wondered. “The suitcases! She thinks I’m one of the thieves!” His doubt was confirmed immediately when the woman started yelling, “The thief! The thief!” Suddenly, the crowds turned toward Derby. Feeling threatened, Derby ran even faster. To make things worse, the young man also shouted, “Stop! Stop!” “Why is he shouting? Are these suitcases full of the stolen money?” Derby thought. “I would be killed by the crowds if I were caught now while the young man refused to tell the truth!” 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 considered all the possibilities, Derby decided to run to the police station. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ But after the policemen unlocked the suitcases, they appeared very confused. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Having considered all the possibilities, Derby decided to run to the police station. Since he knew the neighborhood very well, he rushed into a narrow street. It was the shortest way to the station. Most important of all, it could help him escape from the crowds. Driven by the fear of death, Derby ran even faster than a superman. In a few minutes, he arrived at the station with the suitcases and reported that he had taken control of the stolen money. But after the policemen unlocked the suitcases, they appeared very confused. Derby stepped forward and looked inside the suitcases. There was no cash at all! At that moment, the young man rushed in and was shocked to see Derby and the policemen standing beside his suitcases. “Why are you here? ” the young man asked. “What has happened to my suitcases?” After Derby told him what had been on his mind, the young man and the police burst into laughter! 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了德比上班路上偶遇求助青年，帮忙拎行李箱却遭银行抢劫误会，被当作劫匪追赶，最后决定跑向警局的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“考虑了所有的可能性之后，德比决定跑到警察局去。”可知，第一段可描写德比熟悉周围环境，选择了一条通往警局的小路，并快速奔向警局，向警察报告自己控制了被抢的钱。 ②由第二段首句内容“但当警察打开行李箱后，他们显得很困惑。”可知，第二段可描写警察打开行李箱后的困惑，以及青年赶来后的解释，最终误会解除，众人大笑。 2.续写线索：德比决定去警局——选择小路快速奔跑——到达警局报告情况——警察打开行李箱感到困惑——青年赶来解释——误会解除众人大笑 3.词汇激活： 行为类： ①冲：rush/dash/hurry ②逃跑：escape/flee/run away ③到达：arrive at/reach 情绪类： ①困惑：confused/puzzled/bemused ②震惊：shocked/surprised/astonished 【点睛】[高分句型1] Since he knew the neighborhood very well, he rushed into a narrow street.(运用了从属连词since引导原因状语从句) [高分句型2] Driven by the fear of death, Derby ran even faster than a superman.(运用了过去分词短语作状语) [高分句型3] After Derby told him what had been on his mind, the young man and the police burst into laughter!(运用了连接代词what引导宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$第一节听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。Do you know who made that awful mess in the kitchen?
