But this joyous occasion was a far cry from her difficult childhood. Ivy suffered severe abuse from her father starting at a young age. He controlled every aspect of her life, isolating (隔绝) her from the world. Despite the fear and loneliness, Ivy found relief in some special men, including Officer White, a policeman in charge of the school’s security. Their conversations started casually. They talked about sports, school, and the little things that brightened their days. As Christmas approached one year, they engaged in a friendly competition to see who could hang the most decorations around school. It was a simple and fun activity, but for Ivy, it was a light in her otherwise dark childhood. When Ivy was 15, she finally revealed her secrets to Officer White, with whose help Ivy’s father was put in prison. Life improved, but the road to healing was long. Her uncles stepped in, providing financial support and a safe shelter, and her basketball coaches offered both athletic and moral support through her struggles. Determined to help others, Ivy shared her story at her high school graduation. This led her to volunteer as a spokesperson for a child advocacy centre. Encouraged by a juvenile (未成年人) corrections officer named James, Ivy pursued a career in law enforcement and now works as a school policewoman. At her wedding, 15 men, including Officer White and James, walked her to her husband. They were her mentors (导师), coaches, and family. Through the love and support of these men, Ivy has had a taste of what having a caring dad looks like, and what “safe” looks like. “It’s been like relearning what’s normal.” 4. Why was the Christmas decoration competition special for Ivy? A. It proved her athleticism and competitiveness. B. It inspired her decision to become a police officer. C. It served as a rare moment of happiness during her sufferings. D It marked the beginning of her friendship with Officer White. 5. What can be inferred about Ivy’s career choice? A. Her coaches guided her to pursue a career in public safety. B. She became a policewoman due to Officer White’s encouragement. C. Her decision was influenced by her desire to help others like herself. D. She chose law enforcement because of her father’s criminal background. 6. The 15 men walking Ivy down the aisle at her wedding most likely symbolize ________. A the legal authorities who saved her from her father B. the replacement of her father’s role through joint support C. her preference for male-dominated professions D. the age when she escaped from her father’s abuse 7. Which of the following best describes Ivy? A. Brave and grateful. B. Lonely yet determined. C. Fearful yet considerate. D. Friendly and competitive. C Bob Dylan, born in 1941, stands as a towering figure in modern music and culture. Lasting over six decades, his career has been recognized for innovation in mixing folk, rock, blues, and literary traditions. Songs like “Blowin’ in the Wind” became symbolic of social transformation, with lyrics rich in metaphor, references, and other rhetorical devices. Critics often compare his poetic depth to literary giants like Walt Whitman, noting how his words went beyond songwriting to address universal human experiences. In 2016, Dylan made history as the first musician awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. The Nobel Committee praised him for “creating new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition,” highlighting his role in elevating popular music to a literary art form. This decision however, ignited fierce debate. Skeptics (质疑者) argued that song lyrics, closely tied to melody and performance, lack the independent literary qualities of traditional written works, Others, including novelist Salman Rushdie, countered that his work equaled ancient poetic traditions, comparing him to Homer, whose epics (史诗) were originally performed with musical accompaniment. They stressed Dylan’s ability to combine storytelling with social comments into timeless lyrics that held true across generations. Dylan’s response to the debate mirrored his famously elusive personality. He firstly ignored the Academy’s communications, later acknowledged the honor briefly on his website before removing the statement, and delivered a delayed acceptance speech in 2017. In this speech, he focused on his artistic influences and downplayed the differences between songwriting and poetry, claiming his lifelong goal to “create songs unlike anything anybody had ever heard.” The debate over Dylan’s Nobel Prize ultimately raises questions about the ever-changing definition of literature. As the Nobel Committee recognized, Dylan’s lyrics serve as more than entertainment; they are a mirror of social struggles and triumphs, proving that art, in any form, can carry profound literary and cultural significance. His story continues to challenge perceptions, ensuring his legacy as both a musical innovator and a controversial figure in the literary world. 8. What appeals to the critics about Bob Dylan’s lyrics? A. Their ability to approach shared themes of humanity. B. Their simple structure compared to traditional poetry. C. The lack of social commentary in his early works. D. The dominance of rock music elements over folk traditions. 9. What led to the doubts over Dylan’s Nobel Prize? A. His refusal to participate in the award ceremony. B. Criticisms of his later musical works’ declining quality. C. Debates on whether song lyrics qualify as literary works. D. The Nobel Committee’s lack of recognition for popular music. 10. What does the underlined word “elusive in paragraph 3 mean? A. Straightforward. B. Unpredictable. C. Cooperative. D. Humorous. 11. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To analyze the musical techniques in Dylan’s most famous songs. B. To compare Dylan with other Nobel Literature winners in history. C. To discuss the achievements and debates surrounding Dylan’s Nobel award. D. To argue against the Swedish Academy’s decision to honor a musician. D Few buildings in the world inspire as much admiration and debate as the Sydney Opera House. Originally planned as a state-of-the-art center for the performing arts, the project began with an international design competition that captured global attention. Out of many submissions, Danish architect Jorn Utzon’s daring proposal — characterized by its unique, sail-like shells — stood out as an brave vision that promised to redefine Sydney’s skyline. The design, however, was met with both enthusiasm and uncertainty. Utzon’s innovative concept broke away from traditional architectural rules and immediately aroused questions about its practical feasibility: While many admired the originality of the design, engineers and critics were concerned about the complex technical issues that lay ahead. These early debates signaled the considerable challenges that the project would soon face. As construction began, the reality of conducting such an ambitious design became apparent. The project suffered from significant delays, rising cost, and intense political disagreements. These issues not only strained the relationships among government officials, engineers and the architect but also sparked a wider public debate over whether the spending in bold art was worthwhile or not. The mounting expenses and technical problems forced several compromises (妥协), leaving many to wonder if the vision was worth the efforts. Despite the setbacks and controversies, the Sydney Opera House eventually emerged as a celebrated masterpiece of modern architecture. Over time, the building transformed from a subject of public criticism into a lasting symbol of creative achievement. Today, it is not merely a venue for performances but also a landmark that has reshaped Sydney’s cultural landscape. Its journey — from initial conception through troubled construction to eventual approval — illustrates the challenging path of translating visionary ideas into reality. The Opera House’s legacy serves as a reminder that innovation and progress frequently come with significant obstacles. Its history reflects the delicate balance between artistic ambition and practical limits — a lesson that continues to inspire debates on public spending, architectural unity, and the value of daring ideas in modern society. 12. What do we know about Utzon’s proposal? A. It gained global attention and was praised as economical. B. It was accounted as adventurous and featured a striking shape. C. It was in line with traditional designs with few modern adaptations. D. It was noted for its originality but considered by most as unworkable. 13. What can be inferred about public opinion over time? A. It was indifferent throughout the project’s history. B. It mainly focused on the financial issues during construction. C. It shifted from doubt to recognition as the building gained praise. D. It remained critical of the Opera House even after its completion. 14. What lesson do we learn from the story of the Opera House? A. Artistic ideas are always accomplished with unavoidable compromises. B. Brave ideas require balancing creative vision with practical challenges. C. Practical problems are a sign that artistic ambition is misguided. D Innovative projects are normally prevented by technical difficulties. 15. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Jorn Utzon: the Talent Behind the Sydney Opera House B. Architectural Innovation: the Achievements of the Opera House C. Overcoming Challenges: the Construction of the Sydney Opera House D. The Opera House: the Stormy Journey Towards an Artistic Landmark 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。 Preserving Your Culture and Traditions: Tips for Sharing Your Heritage Your culture is a huge part of who you are and the way you see the world.

The thought of missing the marathon in five days concerned me far more than my physical pain. I had notjust given the marathon a small place in my life, it had become my life. The good news was that after a thorough examination, nothing appeared to be permanently damaged. The first thing I asked the doctor was, “When will I be able to run again?” Remaining cautious, he explained that as soon as the swelling went down, I could do whatever I felt I could tolerate. Later that afternoon, my self-confidence began to return to normal even though my knee hadn’t. The injury damaged my body, but not my spirit. The next day, I hobbled (跛行) into a local running store and asked if there were any marathons later in the year. With all of the training that I had put in, I was certain that I’d be back on the streets within a couple of months. “There aren’t any more marathons until the last part of November,” said the clerk. “Oh, wait. There is one smaller race next month:the Long Beach Marathon.” A ray of hope emerged. However, the Long Beach Marathon was only three and a half weeks away. Impossible. But, Aristotle once said, “Hope is a waking dream.” My dream was only three weeks away. The next morning, I began a self-made training schedule unlike any you’ll read about in Runner’s World, and probably it’s the first time anyone has ever prepared for a marathon without running. I was fortunate enough to be working in a hospital fitness center that had a wide variety of stationary bikes, treadmills (跑步机) and free weights. They could actually help me to recover and practice. Over the course of the next week, the swelling in my knee went down as my fitness level climbed. I was actually becoming fitter without putting in so much as a mile of running. After about two and a half weeks, I got the doctor’s approval to start running again. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The first day back out on the street was a challenge. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the race day arrived, I was fit and motivated to run the race of a lifetime. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 【考试时间：5月16日 10:00-12:00】 2025年重庆一中高2027届高一下期半期考试 英语试题卷 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号码填写在答题卡上。 2.作答时，务必将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷及草稿纸上无效。 3.考试结束后，将答题卡交回。 第一部分 听力 (共两节，满分20分) 第一节 (共5小题；每小题1分，满分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.

But this joyous occasion was a far cry from her difficult childhood. Ivy suffered severe abuse from her father starting at a young age. He controlled every aspect of her life, isolating (隔绝) her from the world. Despite the fear and loneliness, Ivy found relief in some special men, including Officer White, a policeman in charge of the school’s security. Their conversations started casually. They talked about sports, school, and the little things that brightened their days. As Christmas approached one year, they engaged in a friendly competition to see who could hang the most decorations around school. It was a simple and fun activity, but for Ivy, it was a light in her otherwise dark childhood. When Ivy was 15, she finally revealed her secrets to Officer White, with whose help Ivy’s father was put in prison. Life improved, but the road to healing was long. Her uncles stepped in, providing financial support and a safe shelter, and her basketball coaches offered both athletic and moral support through her struggles. Determined to help others, Ivy shared her story at her high school graduation. This led her to volunteer as a spokesperson for a child advocacy centre. Encouraged by a juvenile (未成年人) corrections officer named James, Ivy pursued a career in law enforcement and now works as a school policewoman. At her wedding, 15 men, including Officer White and James, walked her to her husband. They were her mentors (导师), coaches, and family. Through the love and support of these men, Ivy has had a taste of what having a caring dad looks like, and what “safe” looks like. “It’s been like relearning what’s normal.” 4. Why was the Christmas decoration competition special for Ivy? A. It proved her athleticism and competitiveness. B. It inspired her decision to become a police officer. C. It served as a rare moment of happiness during her sufferings. D. It marked the beginning of her friendship with Officer White. 5. What can be inferred about Ivy’s career choice? A. Her coaches guided her to pursue a career in public safety. B. She became a policewoman due to Officer White’s encouragement. C. Her decision was influenced by her desire to help others like herself. D. She chose law enforcement because of her father’s criminal background. 6. The 15 men walking Ivy down the aisle at her wedding most likely symbolize ________. A. the legal authorities who saved her from her father B. the replacement of her father’s role through joint support C. her preference for male-dominated professions D. the age when she escaped from her father’s abuse 7. Which of the following best describes Ivy? A. Brave and grateful. B. Lonely yet determined. C. Fearful yet considerate. D. Friendly and competitive. 【答案】4. C 5. C 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Ivy Jacobsen童年饱受父亲虐待，在一些男士帮助下走出阴影，后来决心帮助他人并成为学校女警察，婚礼上这些男士陪她走向丈夫。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“As Christmas approached one year, they engaged in a friendly competition to see who could hang the most decorations around school. It was a simple and fun activity, but for Ivy, it was a light in her otherwise dark childhood.(有一年圣诞节临近时，他们进行了一场友好的比赛，看谁能在学校周围挂最多的装饰品。这是一项简单而有趣的活动，但对Ivy来说，这是她黑暗童年中的一道光)”可知，这个圣诞节装饰比赛对Ivy来说特别，是因为它是她痛苦时期难得的快乐时刻。故选C项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Determined to help others, Ivy shared her story at her high school graduation. This led her to volunteer as a spokesperson for a child advocacy centre. Encouraged by a juvenile (未成年人) corrections officer named James, Ivy pursued a career in law enforcement and now works as a school policewoman.(Ivy决心帮助他人，在高中毕业时分享了自己的故事。这使她成为了一个儿童权益保护中心的志愿者发言人。在一位名叫James的少年管教所警官的鼓励下，Ivy从事了执法工作，现在是一名学校女警察)”可推断，她选择职业是受到了想要帮助像自己一样的人的愿望的影响。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“At her wedding, 15 men, including Officer White and James, walked her to her husband. They were her mentors (导师), coaches, and family.

Lasting over six decades, his career has been recognized for innovation in mixing folk, rock, blues, and literary traditions. Songs like “Blowin’ in the Wind” became symbolic of social transformation, with lyrics rich in metaphor, references, and other rhetorical devices. Critics often compare his poetic depth to literary giants like Walt Whitman, noting how his words went beyond songwriting to address universal human experiences. In 2016, Dylan made history as the first musician awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. The Nobel Committee praised him for “creating new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition,” highlighting his role in elevating popular music to a literary art form. This decision however, ignited fierce debate. Skeptics (质疑者) argued that song lyrics, closely tied to melody and performance, lack the independent literary qualities of traditional written works, Others, including novelist Salman Rushdie, countered that his work equaled ancient poetic traditions, comparing him to Homer, whose epics (史诗) were originally performed with musical accompaniment. They stressed Dylan’s ability to combine storytelling with social comments into timeless lyrics that held true across generations. Dylan’s response to the debate mirrored his famously elusive personality. He firstly ignored the Academy’s communications, later acknowledged the honor briefly on his website before removing the statement, and delivered a delayed acceptance speech in 2017. In this speech, he focused on his artistic influences and downplayed the differences between songwriting and poetry, claiming his lifelong goal to “create songs unlike anything anybody had ever heard.” The debate over Dylan’s Nobel Prize ultimately raises questions about the ever-changing definition of literature. As the Nobel Committee recognized, Dylan’s lyrics serve as more than entertainment; they are a mirror of social struggles and triumphs, proving that art, in any form, can carry profound literary and cultural significance. His story continues to challenge perceptions, ensuring his legacy as both a musical innovator and a controversial figure in the literary world. 8. What appeals to the critics about Bob Dylan’s lyrics? A. Their ability to approach shared themes of humanity. B. Their simple structure compared to traditional poetry. C. The lack of social commentary in his early works. D. The dominance of rock music elements over folk traditions. 9. What led to the doubts over Dylan’s Nobel Prize? A. His refusal to participate in the award ceremony. B. Criticisms of his later musical works’ declining quality. C. Debates on whether song lyrics qualify as literary works. D. The Nobel Committee’s lack of recognition for popular music. 10. What does the underlined word “elusive in paragraph 3 mean? A. Straightforward. B. Unpredictable. C. Cooperative. D. Humorous. 11. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To analyze the musical techniques in Dylan’s most famous songs. B. To compare Dylan with other Nobel Literature winners in history. C. To discuss the achievements and debates surrounding Dylan’s Nobel award. D. To argue against the Swedish Academy’s decision to honor a musician. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了鲍勃·迪伦获得诺贝尔文学奖的成就及其引发的争议，探讨了文学定义的演变。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Critics often compare his poetic depth to literary giants like Walt Whitman, noting how his words went beyond songwriting to address universal human experiences.(评论家们常将他诗歌般的深度与沃尔特·惠特曼等文学巨匠相提并论，并指出他的文字超越了单纯的歌词创作，触及了人类共通的普遍体验。)”可知，评论家们被鲍勃·迪伦歌词能够触及人类普遍经历的共同主题所吸引，也就是其歌词能探讨人类共有的主题。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Skeptics (质疑者) argued that song lyrics, closely tied to melody and performance, lack the independent literary qualities of traditional written works(怀疑论者认为，歌词与旋律和表演紧密相连，缺乏传统书面作品的独立文学品质)”可知，对迪伦获得诺贝尔文学奖产生怀疑的原因是关于歌曲歌词是否符合文学作品标准的争论。故选C项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据下文“He firstly ignored the Academy’s communications, later acknowledged the honor briefly on his website before removing the statement, and delivered a delayed acceptance speech in 2017.(他首先无视学院的沟通，后来在他的网站上简短地承认了这一荣誉，然后删除了声明，并在2017年发表了推迟的获奖演讲。)”可知，迪伦先是无视学院的沟通，之后在网站上简单承认荣誉又移除声明，还延迟发表获奖感言，这些行为说明他的性格难以捉摸。所以，划线单词elusive的意义为“难以捉摸的；难以预测的”，与Unpredictable意义一致。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。文章先介绍了鲍勃·迪伦的音乐成就“Bob Dylan, born in 1941, stands as a towering figure in modern music and culture. Lasting over six decades, his career has been recognized for innovation in mixing folk, rock, blues, and literary traditions.(鲍勃·迪伦出生于1941年，是现代音乐和文化界的杰出人物。在60多年的职业生涯中，他以融合民谣、摇滚、蓝调和文学传统的创新而闻名。)”，接着讲述他获得诺贝尔文学奖这一事件，然后重点阐述了围绕该奖项产生的争论“The Nobel Committee praised him for “creating new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition,” highlighting his role in elevating popular music to a literary art form. This decision however, ignited fierce debate.(诺贝尔奖委员会称赞他“在伟大的美国歌曲传统中创造了新的诗意表达”，强调了他在将流行音乐提升为文学艺术形式方面所起的作用。然而，这一决定引发了激烈的争论。)”，最后说明这场争论引发的对文学定义的思考“The debate over Dylan’s Nobel Prize ultimately raises questions about the ever-changing definition of literature.(关于迪伦获得诺贝尔奖的争论最终引发了对文学定义不断变化的质疑。)”，所以文章的主要目的是讨论围绕迪伦诺贝尔文学奖的成就和争论。故选C项。 D Few buildings in the world inspire as much admiration and debate as the Sydney Opera House. Originally planned as a state-of-the-art center for the performing arts, the project began with an international design competition that captured global attention. Out of many submissions, Danish architect Jorn Utzon’s daring proposal — characterized by its unique, sail-like shells — stood out as an brave vision that promised to redefine Sydney’s skyline. The design, however, was met with both enthusiasm and uncertainty. Utzon’s innovative concept broke away from traditional architectural rules and immediately aroused questions about its practical feasibility: While many admired the originality of the design, engineers and critics were concerned about the complex technical issues that lay ahead. These early debates signaled the considerable challenges that the project would soon face. As construction began, the reality of conducting such an ambitious design became apparent. The project suffered from significant delays, rising cost, and intense political disagreements. These issues not only strained the relationships among government officials, engineers and the architect but also sparked a wider public debate over whether the spending in bold art was worthwhile or not. The mounting expenses and technical problems forced several compromises (妥协), leaving many to wonder if the vision was worth the efforts. Despite the setbacks and controversies, the Sydney Opera House eventually emerged as a celebrated masterpiece of modern architecture. Over time, the building transformed from a subject of public criticism into a lasting symbol of creative achievement. Today, it is not merely a venue for performances but also a landmark that has reshaped Sydney’s cultural landscape. Its journey — from initial conception through troubled construction to eventual approval — illustrates the challenging path of translating visionary ideas into reality. The Opera House’s legacy serves as a reminder that innovation and progress frequently come with significant obstacles. Its history reflects the delicate balance between artistic ambition and practical limits — a lesson that continues to inspire debates on public spending, architectural unity, and the value of daring ideas in modern society. 12. What do we know about Utzon’s proposal? A. It gained global attention and was praised as economical. B It was accounted as adventurous and featured a striking shape. C. It was in line with traditional designs with few modern adaptations. D. It was noted for its originality but considered by most as unworkable. 13. What can be inferred about public opinion over time? A. It was indifferent throughout the project’s history. B. It mainly focused on the financial issues during construction. C. It shifted from doubt to recognition as the building gained praise. D. It remained critical of the Opera House even after its completion. 14. What lesson do we learn from the story of the Opera House? A. Artistic ideas are always accomplished with unavoidable compromises. B. Brave ideas require balancing creative vision with practical challenges. C. Practical problems are a sign that artistic ambition is misguided. D. Innovative projects are normally prevented by technical difficulties. 15. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Jorn Utzon: the Talent Behind the Sydney Opera House B. Architectural Innovation: the Achievements of the Opera House C. Overcoming Challenges: the Construction of the Sydney Opera House D. The Opera House: the Stormy Journey Towards an Artistic Landmark 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了悉尼歌剧院从设计、建设到最终成为标志性建筑的历程，重点描述了其面临的挑战和争议。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段句子“Danish architect Jorn Utzon’s daring proposal — characterized by its unique, sail-like shells — stood out as an brave vision that promised to redefine Sydney’s skyline.(丹麦建筑师Jorn Utzon大胆的提议——以其独特的帆状贝壳为特征——作为一个勇敢的愿景脱颖而出，承诺重新定义悉尼的天际线。)”可知，Utzon的方案具有冒险性，其独特的帆状外壳形状引人注目。故选B项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段的句子“Over time, the building transformed from a subject of public criticism into a lasting symbol of creative achievement.(随着时间的推移，这座建筑从公众批评的对象转变为创造性成就的持久象征。)” 可知，随着时间的推移，公众对悉尼歌剧院的看法从批评转变为认可，即从怀疑转变为赞赏。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段的句子“Its history reflects the delicate balance between artistic ambition and practical limits — a lesson that continues to inspire debates on public spending, architectural unity, and the value of daring ideas in modern society.(其历史映射出艺术抱负与现实局限之间的微妙平衡——这一经验至今仍激发着关于公共支出、建筑整体性以及大胆构想在现代社会价值的争论。)”可知，悉尼歌剧院的故事告诉我们，大胆的想法需要在创意愿景和实际挑战之间取得平衡。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，特别是第一段“Few buildings in the world inspire as much admiration and debate as the Sydney Opera House.

But what happens if you move to another country or when younger generations lose contact with older generations?(当你生活在自己的文化是主流文化的地方时，你可能不必花太多精力去保护它——它就在你身边！但如果你搬到另一个国家，或者年轻一代与老一代失去联系，会发生什么呢？)”，提出了在特定情况下文化可能面临的问题。选项G“If you don’t actively preserve your culture, you risk losing the art, traditions, food, and language that give life meaning.(如果你不积极保护自己的文化，你就有可能失去赋予生活意义的艺术、传统、食物和语言)”，承接上文，指出不积极保护文化会带来的后果，引出下文关于如何保护文化的内容。故选G。 【17题详解】 前文说“Tour country, tribe, religious denomination, or immigrant ethnic group almost certainly celebrates major holidays or cultural festivals.(每个国家、部落、宗教派别或移民族群几乎肯定都会庆祝重大节日或文化节日)”，强调了有很多文化节日。选项C“Travel to these events to get a broader perspective on your culture.(去参加这些活动，以更全面地了解你的文化)”，“these events” 指代前文的文化节日，说明了参加这些活动的好处，与前文衔接紧密。故选C。 【18题详解】 后文提到“If you don’t know your culture’s original language, ask an elder in your culture to teach it to you.(如果你不懂你们文化的母语，让你们文化中的长辈教你)”，围绕学习母语展开。选项A“Speak your ancestral language.(说你的母语)”，准确概括了后文的内容，引出后文关于学习母语的具体建议。故选A。 【19题详解】 前文说“Plus, if the language is rare in your area(此外，如果这种语言在你所在的地区很少见)”，说明这种语言的稀有性。选项E“you won’t have to worry about anyone overhearing on your conversations!(你就不用担心有人会偷听你们的谈话了！)”，因为这种语言稀有，所以不用担心被别人听懂，与前文的语言稀有性相呼应。故选E。 【20题详解】 前文提到“The dialogue around cultural preservation can sound defeatist because it talks about how cultures are ‘endangered’ and need ‘preserving’ before they die out.

The world has always been changing and cultures have always been adapting to that change(事实上，文化帮助人们适应周围的世界。世界一直在变化，文化也一直在适应这种变化)”，说明文化需要适应变化。选项B“but that doesn’t mean that all change is bad.(但这并不意味着所有的变化都是坏事)”，起到了转折和衔接的作用，既承认了文化保护有挑战，又引出了文化需要适应变化的观点，故选B。 第三部分 语言应用 (共三节，满分40分) 第一节 (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Loan Pollard, 27 years old at that time, was lying in a hospital bed.

The thought of missing the marathon in five days concerned me far more than my physical pain. I had notjust given the marathon a small place in my life, it had become my life. The good news was that after a thorough examination, nothing appeared to be permanently damaged. The first thing I asked the doctor was, “When will I be able to run again?” Remaining cautious, he explained that as soon as the swelling went down, I could do whatever I felt I could tolerate. Later that afternoon, my self-confidence began to return to normal even though my knee hadn’t. The injury damaged my body, but not my spirit. The next day, I hobbled (跛行) into a local running store and asked if there were any marathons later in the year. With all of the training that I had put in, I was certain that I’d be back on the streets within a couple of months. “There aren’t any more marathons until the last part of November,” said the clerk. “Oh, wait. There is one smaller race next month:the Long Beach Marathon.” A ray of hope emerged. However, the Long Beach Marathon was only three and a half weeks away. Impossible. But, Aristotle once said, “Hope is a waking dream.” My dream was only three weeks away. The next morning, I began a self-made training schedule unlike any you’ll read about in Runner’s World, and probably it’s the first time anyone has ever prepared for a marathon without running. I was fortunate enough to be working in a hospital fitness center that had a wide variety of stationary bikes, treadmills (跑步机) and free weights. They could actually help me to recover and practice. Over the course of the next week, the swelling in my knee went down as my fitness level climbed. I was actually becoming fitter without putting in so much as a mile of running. After about two and a half weeks, I got the doctor’s approval to start running again. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The first day back out on the street was a challenge. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the race day arrived, I was fit and motivated to run the race of a lifetime. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The first day back out on the street was a challenge. My knee still felt a bit weak and every step seemed to test its strength. I started slowly, almost hesitantly. But as I moved forward, the familiar rhythm of running began to take over. I told myself to focus on my form and not push too hard. The wind blew gently against my face, as if encouraging me. I could feel my confidence growing with each step, even though it was a struggle at first. When the race day arrived, I was fit and motivated to run the race of a lifetime. I stood at the starting line, my heart full of excitement. As the gun went off, I took off with determination. The crowd’s cheers spurred me on. I ran smoothly, my knee holding up well. I thought about all the hard work and the setbacks I had overcome. With every mile, I felt stronger. I crossed the finish line with a sense of pride and accomplishment, knowing that I had beaten the odds. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲的是作者因膝盖受伤而面临无法参加即将举行的洛杉矶马拉松的困境，但经过医生的检查和确认没有永久性损伤后，作者没有放弃，而是积极寻找其他马拉松比赛的机会，并在一家医院的健身中心利用各种器械制定了独特的非跑步训练计划进行恢复和练习。最终，作者的身体逐渐恢复，得到了医生的批准可以重新开始跑步 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第一天重新回到街上跑步是一次挑战。”可知，第一段可描写作者第一天重新回到街上跑步的经历和感受。 ②由第二段首句内容“当比赛日到来时，我身体健康，充满动力去参加这场一生难得的比赛。”可知，第二段可描写作者在比赛当天的表现、感受和最终的成就。 2.续写线索：作者膝盖没劲——向前移动——作者告诉自己要专心——信心在增长——快速奔跑——平稳地跑——冲过终点 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①向前移动：move forward/advance forward ②专注：focus on/concentrate on ③平稳地跑：run smoothly/run steadily 情绪类 ①犹豫：hesitantly/vacillatingly ②兴奋：excitement/thrill 【点睛】[高分句型1] But as I moved forward, the familiar rhythm of running began to take over.
