B Elyn MacInnis, a 73-year-old cultural expert from the USA, is a remarkable figure whose life journey is deeply and closely linked to China. Elyn has lived in China for over three decades, during which time her affection for this land has grown immeasurably. In 2015, she and her husband embarked on a meaningful journey to explore the rich history and culture of Kuliang, a famous summer resort in Fuzhou that has long been a favored destination for foreigners, including numerous Americans. Since the 1880s, these foreign residents have coexisted harmoniously with the local Chinese community. The following year, Elyn took significant steps to promote Kuliang’s heritage. She launched an English website dedicated to the history and charm of Kuliang and established the “Kuliang Friends” group in the USA. The members of this group trace their roots to doctors, technicians, missionaries, and traders who once called Kuliang home. Today, with a membership exceeding 50, the group has become an essential driving force behind non-governmental friendly exchanges between China and the USA. Over the years, Elyn has continued her commitment to spreading the story of Kuliang. Currently, she is writing a book on these tales. She hopes these touching and heart-warming stories will offer a fresh perspective on mutual understanding and foster a deeper friendship between the people of the United States and China. At a reunion, Elyn MacInnis remarked, “The future, our future, our friendship and cooperation can be made of many small things that happen each day, and with the Kuliang spirit of peace, friendship, and love, with sensitivity and respect, small actions can build a better future.” Elyn’s unshakable dedication to cultural exchanges and historical preservation has not gone unnoticed. In 2018, she was granted with the prestigious “Jiangsu Friendship Award”. In 2024, she was honored as one of the “Touching China 2023 Personages,” a national-level accolade that highlights her outstanding contributions to cultural exchanges and historical research. 24. The “Kuliang Friends” group is aimed to ______. A. preserve the historical heritage of Kuliang B. promote sustainable tourism in Kuliang C. foster friendship and cultural exchange between the US and China D. support local economic development in Kuliang 25. Which of the following words can best describe Elyn MacInnis? A. Conservative but responsible. B. Passionate and committed. C. Tough and stubborn. D. Strict but considerate. 26. Which is closest in meaning to “accolade” in the last paragraph? A. Award. B. Praise. C. Certificate. D. Reputation. 27. What is the purpose of the text? A. To honour a brilliant promoter of cultural exchanges. B. To introduce the history and culture of Kuliang. C. To recommend a famous cultural destination. D. To award the “Kuliang Friends” group globally. C Automatic kitchens aren’t just sci-fi scenes from shows like Star Trek (《星际迷航》).Currently, robots are being used to fry chicken, create pizzas, prepare salads and much more. AI can invent recipes based on what a kitchen has. More advanced concepts are in development to automate kitchens for fine dining. Since technology tends to be expensive at first, restaurants and other businesses are the first to adopt AI kitchen technologies. Over time, prices are likely to fall, making these technologies accessible to the home market and potentially changing how homes and society function. The benefits of AI kitchens include enabling cooks to avoid boring tasks, such as peeling potatoes or standing at a workstation for hours. It can free up time, allowing people to focus on more important tasks. For personalized eating, AI can fit countless special diets and tastes on demand. However, there are risks to human well-being. Cooking is a good activity which helps with communication and self-expression, but these benefits can be decreased if the human element becomes unnecessary. In this way, family relationships might suffer without the cooperative kitchen environment. Furthermore, the kitchen serves as a science laboratory in the household, playing an important role in science education. The art of cooking helps kids to learn about materials, chemistry and problem-solving. Cultural risks must also be considered. For example, AI could mess up traditional recipes and methods, as it often stereotypes (把……模式化) or oversimplifies cultural details. This may result in AI and robot cooks producing less diverse dishes. Relying too heavily on technology in meal creation may result in a lack of variety, leading to the sameness in taste. This is similar to the strikingly similar appearance of AI-generated art images across different apps. Convenience can come at a great cost, so it’s important to consider the possible social disruptions (扰乱) that new technologies might bring, especially in areas like food that are closely tied to our everyday lives. 28. Which is a potential benefit of AI kitchens? A. Reducing kitchen waste and risks. B. Meeting personalized dietary needs. C. Strengthening family relationships. D. Improving the efficiency of cooking. 29. What might be a negative impact of AI kitchens on family life? A. Simplifying traditional cooking culture. B. Messing up traditional recipes and dishes. C. Reducing family communication and bonding. D. Forcing family members to change eating habits. 30. What is the author’s attitude to the widespread use of AI kitchens? A. Indifferent. B. Cautious. C. Unclear. D. Positive. 31. What can be the best title for the text? A. Great Role of AI in Modern Kitchens B. Potential and Future of AI in Kitchens C. Benefits and Challenges of AI Kitchens D. AI Robots Working in Automatic Kitchens D Modern research on body language — often called nonverbal behavior — began in the 1960s and 1970s with studies that aimed to demonstrate the universality (普遍性) of facial expressions of emotion. That work was inspired, in part, by Charles Darwin’s study “The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals (1872).” But it had received little attention for around a century, according to nonverbal communication expert David Matsumoto. Then modern researchers examined how the brain reacts to facial expressions, and how babies copy facial and hand gestures. And scientists have also realized the complexity of body language. Much research has suggested that body language is often hard to interpret, or understand. But for years some advisers and experts have been using their knowledge in many practical areas. “I help people influence and persuade others around how trustworthy and credible (可信的) their message is by helping them with their specific nonverbal communication,” said Mark Bowden. He is the author of “Winning Body Language”, a guide for readers including business people and famous people. He focuses on where a person faces their body and how much space they take up, as well as their gestures. Some experts also say they can use those signals to interpret hidden emotions. Joe Navarro is the author of “What Every Body Is Saying.” It is a book about reading a person’s mind from their nonverbal behavior. It’s easy to spot a speaker’s lip movements when he faces a question he doesn’t like, Joe said. While the work of these experts attracts large audiences, many scientists are unsure whether their methods are reliable. “Our facial expressions show certain types of emotional states,” Matsumoto said. So do some body movements. But “people do all kinds of things with their bodies,” he said. Your raised eyebrow could express doubt — but it might also signal discomfort or surprise. The same hand gesture could mean different things in different cultures, he said. 32. What role did Charles Darwin’s study play according to paragraph 1? A. It unlocked the secret of the human mind. B. It promoted the development of human language. C. It encouraged people to care more about animals. D. It helped start modern research on body language. 33. What can we infer about Mark Bowden? A. He gives advice on business language. B. He teaches people about body language. C. He focuses mainly on facial expressions. D. He pays more attention to spoken language. 34. According to the passage, Joe Navarro’s book helps readers to ______. A. improve their public speaking skills B. understand cultural differences in gestures. C. detect hidden emotions through body language. D. increase their charm in communication. 35. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A. Body language is more reliable than spoken language. B. Modern research has fully understood body language. C. Scientists are cautious about the reliability of body language interpretation. D. Experts have successfully applied body language in practical areas. 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。 As an important piece of lifesaving equipment, a tall lifeguard chair is often seen on beaches, at lakes and community pools. ____36____.

Silence settled over the hall. “Your word is onomatopoeia,” said Mr. Ramirez, the announcer. I got this! Theo thought. Spelling was sort of his superpower. He wasn’t a math or science guy, but he had a gift for spelling. Theo’s brain fast-forwarded to the spelling bees (拼写比赛) ahead: first the county championship then the state championship, and finally the national spelling bee. “Your answer, please, Theo?” He glanced back at Alexa, another fourth-grader, sitting on the edge of her chair. She wanted another chance at winning. If he missed his word, she’d be back in the game. But that wasn’t going to happen. Theo got the right spelling. Theo’s sister, Deandra, who had also competed but missed her word, applauded with the rest of the crowd. Mr. Ramirez presented the trophy (奖杯) to Theo. He lifted both arms into the air. “I’m the alpha-best.” Then he raced toward his sister. “Ha!” Theo said, making the trophy dance in front of Deandra’s nose. She rolled her eyes. “You’re a terrible winner.” “What’s wrong with celebrating my victory?” Deandra crossed her arms and made a sour face. “You know, it wasn’t cool the way you ignored Alexa onstage. She tried to shake your hand.” Theo shrugged. “I didn’t notice. Anyway, county bee, here I come!” “You might want to crack open the dictionary before counties. In two weeks, you’ll be facing the best of the best.” “And they’ll be up against me, the alpha-beast.” Deandra shook her head. “Well, good luck. I think you’re going to need it.” Two weeks passed in a blink. At the county bee, students from different schools gathered around onstage, some looking more worried than others. Finally, it was time for the contestants to take their seats. After six rounds, the group of more than 100 students decreased to just seven. This was no regular spelling bee. Theo had barely made it through the last round with a lucky guess on conscience. And if he’d had to spell aerospace or conical, he’d be out already. His sister’s advice suddenly made sense. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: When it was his turn again, Theo stood frozen for the longest moment. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The following Monday at school, Theo found Alexa in the lunchroom. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 绝密★考试结束前 2024学年第二学期温州十校联合体期中联考 高二年级英语学科试题 考生须知： 1. 本卷共10页满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2. 答题前，在答题卷指定区域填写班级、姓名、考场号、座位号及准考证号并填涂相应数字。 3. 所有答案必须写在答题纸上，写在试卷上无效。 4. 考试结束后，只需上交答题纸。 第Ⅰ卷 选择题部分 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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What will the woman probably do next?

It was designed and built for a local businessman and his family. Now, please allow me to introduce it briefly. Before beginning his design, the architect spent some time in the owner’s old home, observing their life and studying their habits. After learning that the owner’s main desire was to have a home that could be one in a million, the architect came up with a special design. The style of the building was different from that of the period. Instead of wood and brick, the house was made of concrete, a new material in those days. Inside the house were pieces of furniture originally built to the design and you will see they are still in good condition. However, those pieces in the children’s bedrooms have been destroyed. Luckily, except those, all the designs for the building and its other contents have been well preserved, so we’ve been able to enjoy this remarkable house.

Elyn has lived in China for over three decades, during which time her affection for this land has grown immeasurably. In 2015, she and her husband embarked on a meaningful journey to explore the rich history and culture of Kuliang, a famous summer resort in Fuzhou that has long been a favored destination for foreigners, including numerous Americans. Since the 1880s, these foreign residents have coexisted harmoniously with the local Chinese community. The following year, Elyn took significant steps to promote Kuliang’s heritage. She launched an English website dedicated to the history and charm of Kuliang and established the “Kuliang Friends” group in the USA. The members of this group trace their roots to doctors, technicians, missionaries, and traders who once called Kuliang home. Today, with a membership exceeding 50, the group has become an essential driving force behind non-governmental friendly exchanges between China and the USA. Over the years, Elyn has continued her commitment to spreading the story of Kuliang. Currently, she is writing a book on these tales. She hopes these touching and heart-warming stories will offer a fresh perspective on mutual understanding and foster a deeper friendship between the people of the United States and China. At a reunion, Elyn MacInnis remarked, “The future, our future, our friendship and cooperation can be made of many small things that happen each day, and with the Kuliang spirit of peace, friendship, and love, with sensitivity and respect, small actions can build a better future.” Elyn’s unshakable dedication to cultural exchanges and historical preservation has not gone unnoticed. In 2018, she was granted with the prestigious “Jiangsu Friendship Award”. In 2024, she was honored as one of the “Touching China 2023 Personages,” a national-level accolade that highlights her outstanding contributions to cultural exchanges and historical research. 24.

AI can invent recipes based on what a kitchen has. More advanced concepts are in development to automate kitchens for fine dining. Since technology tends to be expensive at first, restaurants and other businesses are the first to adopt AI kitchen technologies. Over time, prices are likely to fall, making these technologies accessible to the home market and potentially changing how homes and society function. The benefits of AI kitchens include enabling cooks to avoid boring tasks, such as peeling potatoes or standing at a workstation for hours. It can free up time, allowing people to focus on more important tasks. For personalized eating, AI can fit countless special diets and tastes on demand. However, there are risks to human well-being. Cooking is a good activity which helps with communication and self-expression, but these benefits can be decreased if the human element becomes unnecessary. In this way, family relationships might suffer without the cooperative kitchen environment. Furthermore, the kitchen serves as a science laboratory in the household, playing an important role in science education. The art of cooking helps kids to learn about materials, chemistry and problem-solving. Cultural risks must also be considered. For example, AI could mess up traditional recipes and methods, as it often stereotypes (把……模式化) or oversimplifies cultural details. This may result in AI and robot cooks producing less diverse dishes. Relying too heavily on technology in meal creation may result in a lack of variety, leading to the sameness in taste. This is similar to the strikingly similar appearance of AI-generated art images across different apps. Convenience can come at a great cost, so it’s important to consider the possible social disruptions (扰乱) that new technologies might bring, especially in areas like food that are closely tied to our everyday lives. 28. Which is a potential benefit of AI kitchens? A. Reducing kitchen waste and risks. B. Meeting personalized dietary needs. C. Strengthening family relationships. D. Improving the efficiency of cooking. 29. What might be a negative impact of AI kitchens on family life? A. Simplifying traditional cooking culture. B. Messing up traditional recipes and dishes. C. Reducing family communication and bonding. D. Forcing family members to change eating habits. 30. What is the author’s attitude to the widespread use of AI kitchens? A. Indifferent. B. Cautious. C. Unclear. D. Positive. 31. What can be the best title for the text? A. Great Role of AI in Modern Kitchens B. Potential and Future of AI in Kitchens C. Benefits and Challenges of AI Kitchens D. AI Robots Working in Automatic Kitchens 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. B 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨了AI厨房技术的发展及其对餐饮业和家庭生活的影响，同时分析了这种技术可能带来的社会、文化和教育层面的风险。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The benefits of AI kitchens include enabling cooks to avoid boring tasks, such as peeling potatoes or standing at a workstation for hours. It can free up time, allowing people to focus on more important tasks. For personalized eating, AI can fit countless special diets and tastes on demand.(人工智能厨房的好处包括使厨师能够避免无聊的任务，比如削土豆皮或在工作站站几个小时。它可以腾出时间，让人们专注于更重要的任务。对于个性化饮食，人工智能可以根据需要适应无数特殊的饮食和口味)”可知，AI厨房能够满足各种不同的口味需求。故选B。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“However, there are risks to human well-being. Cooking is a good activity which helps with communication and self-expression, but these benefits can be decreased if the human element becomes unnecessary. In this way, family relationships might suffer without the cooperative kitchen environment.(然而，这对人类福祉是有风险的。烹饪是一项很好的活动，有助于交流和自我表达，但如果人类因素变得不必要，这些好处就会减少。这样，如果没有合作的厨房环境，家庭关系可能会受到影响)”可知，人工智能厨房可能会减少家庭沟通和联系。故选C项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据文章第三段“The benefits of AI kitchens include enabling cooks to avoid boring tasks, such as peeling potatoes or standing at a workstation for hours. It can free up time, allowing people to focus on more important tasks.

That work was inspired, in part, by Charles Darwin’s study “The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals (1872).” But it had received little attention for around a century, according to nonverbal communication expert David Matsumoto. Then modern researchers examined how the brain reacts to facial expressions, and how babies copy facial and hand gestures. And scientists have also realized the complexity of body language. Much research has suggested that body language is often hard to interpret, or understand. But for years some advisers and experts have been using their knowledge in many practical areas. “I help people influence and persuade others around how trustworthy and credible (可信的) their message is by helping them with their specific nonverbal communication,” said Mark Bowden. He is the author of “Winning Body Language”, a guide for readers including business people and famous people. He focuses on where a person faces their body and how much space they take up, as well as their gestures. Some experts also say they can use those signals to interpret hidden emotions. Joe Navarro is the author of “What Every Body Is Saying.” It is a book about reading a person’s mind from their nonverbal behavior. It’s easy to spot a speaker’s lip movements when he faces a question he doesn’t like, Joe said. While the work of these experts attracts large audiences, many scientists are unsure whether their methods are reliable. “Our facial expressions show certain types of emotional states,” Matsumoto said. So do some body movements. But “people do all kinds of things with their bodies,” he said. Your raised eyebrow could express doubt — but it might also signal discomfort or surprise. The same hand gesture could mean different things in different cultures, he said. 32 What role did Charles Darwin’s study play according to paragraph 1? A. It unlocked the secret of the human mind. B. It promoted the development of human language. C. It encouraged people to care more about animals. D. It helped start modern research on body language. 33. What can we infer about Mark Bowden? A. He gives advice on business language. B. He teaches people about body language. C. He focuses mainly on facial expressions. D. He pays more attention to spoken language. 34. According to the passage, Joe Navarro’s book helps readers to ______. A. improve their public speaking skills B. understand cultural differences in gestures. C. detect hidden emotions through body language. D. increase their charm in communication. 35. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A. Body language is more reliable than spoken language. B. Modern research has fully understood body language. C. Scientists are cautious about the reliability of body language interpretation. D. Experts have successfully applied body language in practical areas. 【答案】32. D 33. B 34. C 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍现代肢体语言研究的发展及专家观点。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Modern research on body language — often called nonverbal behavior — began in the 1960s and 1970s with studies that aimed to demonstrate the universality (普遍性) of facial expressions of emotion. That work was inspired, in part, by Charles Darwin’s study “The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals (1872).” (关于肢体语言 (通常被称为非语言行为) 的现代研究始于20世纪60至70年代，这些研究旨在证明面部表情所表达情感的普遍性。这项研究在一定程度上受到了Charles Darwin所著的《人类和动物的情感表达》 (1872年) 的启发。)”可知，达尔文的研究启发了现代肢体语言研究，推动其起步。故选D。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段““I help people influence and persuade others around how trustworthy and credible (可信的) their message is by helping them with their specific nonverbal communication,” said Mark Bowden. (Mark Bowden说：“我通过帮助人们掌握特定的非语言沟通方式，让他们在传达信息时显得更值得信赖和可信，从而影响和说服他人。”)”及“He is the author of “Winning Body Language”, a guide for readers including business people and famous people. (他是《赢在肢体语言》一书的作者，这本书是为包括商务人士和名人在内的读者提供指导的指南)”可知，Mark Bowden通过书籍和实践指导人们使用肢体语言，可推断他从事相关教学。故选B。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“It is a book about reading a person’s mind from their nonverbal behavior. (这是一本关于通过非语言行为解读一个人内心想法的书)”可知，Joe Navarro的书教读者通过肢体语言解读隐藏情绪。故选C。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“While the work of these experts attracts large audiences, many scientists are unsure whether their methods are reliable. (尽管这些专家的研究吸引了大量受众，但许多科学家并不确定他们的方法是否可靠)”可知，科学家对肢体语言解读的可靠性持谨慎态度。故选C。 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。 As an important piece of lifesaving equipment, a tall lifeguard chair is often seen on beaches, at lakes and community pools. ____36____. The design of the lifeguard chair offers several advantages that help prevent swimming accidents and increase the safety of swimmers. A lifeguard chair is often tall, sometimes with a ladder attached to one side. The height of a life guard chair has two distinct advantages. First, it offers the lifeguard an unblocked view of the water he/she is guarding, allowing him/her to watch swimmers carefully for signs of danger. ____37____. Some lifeguard chairs are quite basic, but others have several features to make the job of the lifeguard much easier. ____38____. As lifeguards often work long hours in sunny locations, a sunshade can prevent them from severe sunburn. A lifeguard chair may also have hooks and compartments for lifesaving tools, making them easy to reach in an emergency. Lifeguard chairs are usually made of wood. Nowadays resin is also used. ____39____. Many lifeguard chairs are painted white to make them stand out from other objects around them. ____40____, but it’s not the only thing lifeguards need. There are many other devices used by lifeguards to do their job correctly. For example, lifeguards often use a loudspeaker to warn swimmers against bad behavior. They may also prepare a first aid box to help injured people as well as protect themselves from harm. A. But metal is rarely used as it heats easily in the sun and can cause discomfort B. These devices can be fixed directly onto a lifeguard chair C. Lifeguards may do other things besides guarding the pool D. A lifeguard sits on it, keeping an eye on swimmers and the water E. A lifeguard chair is a very important piece of lifesaving equipment F. A lifeguard chair may feature a sunshade to protect lifeguards from the sun G. Meanwhile, it helps swimmers identify the lifeguard quickly in case of emergency 【答案】36. D 37. G 38. F 39. A 40. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了救生员所用的救生座椅及其他救生物品。 【36题详解】 前文“As an important piece of lifesaving equipment, a tall lifeguard chair is often seen on beaches, at lakes and community pools.(作为一件重要的救生设备，在海滩、湖泊和社区游泳池经常可以看到一个高大的救生椅)”主要讲述了救生椅出现的场所，空格处也应该是对救生座椅的描述，D项“A lifeguard sits on it, keeping an eye on swimmers and the water(一名救生员坐在上面，盯着游泳者和水)”承接上文，对救生座椅进行基本描述，其中的it指代前文出现的a tall lifeguard chair，前后语意连贯，D项符合题意。故选D。 【37题详解】 前文“The height of a life guard chair has two distinct advantages. First, it offers the lifeguard an unblocked view of the water he/she is guarding, allowing him/her to watch swimmers carefully for signs of danger.(救生座椅高度有两个明显的优势。首先，它为救生员提供了一个不受阻碍的视野，使他/她能够仔细观察游泳者的危险迹象)”可知，此处已经描述了救生椅的一个优点，空处承接的是第二个优点。G项“Meanwhile, it helps swimmers identify the lifeguard quickly in case of emergency(同时，它可以帮助游泳者在紧急情况下快速识别救生员)”讲述高高的救生座椅的第二点好处，用meanwhile连接，上下语意连贯，逻辑合理。故选G。 【38题详解】 下文“As lifeguards often work long hours in sunny locations, a sunshade can prevent them from severe sunburn.(由于救生员经常在阳光充足的地方长时间工作，遮阳伞可以防止他们被严重晒伤)”中具体解释救生员在太阳下长时间工作需要防晒（sunshade），由此可推知，空处应说明救生员座椅有防晒措施。F项“A lifeguard chair may feature a sunshade to protect lifeguards from the sun(救生员椅可能有遮阳板，以保护救生员免受太阳的伤害)”提到sunshade，是防晒的东西，因此前后叙述一致，引起下文，符合逻辑。故选F。 【39题详解】 空前“Lifeguard chairs are usually made of wood. Nowadays resin is also used.(救生座椅通常是木制的。现在也使用树脂)”说明的是救生座椅是用什么做成的，空格处也应该是关于救生座椅的材质的，A选项“But metal is rarely used as it heats easily in the sun and can cause discomfort(但很少使用金属，因为它在阳光下容易加热，会引起不适)”说明的是救生座椅的材质，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选A。 【40题详解】 空后“but it’s not the only thing lifeguards need. There are many other devices used by lifeguards to do their job correctly.(但这并不是救生员唯一需要的东西。救生员还使用许多其他设备来正确地完成他们的工作)”说明某个东西不是救生员唯一需要的，结合全文语境可知，说的是救生座椅不是唯一需要的，也就是说它很重要，但是不是唯一的，E选项“A lifeguard chair is a very important piece of lifesaving equipment(救生座椅是一件非常重要的救生设备)”说明了救生座椅是重要的，因此引起下文，符合语境，故选E。 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。 We all know there’s no place like home, and our beloved pets seem to think the same.

Silence settled over the hall. “Your word is onomatopoeia,” said Mr. Ramirez, the announcer. I got this! Theo thought. Spelling was sort of his superpower. He wasn’t a math or science guy, but he had a gift for spelling. Theo’s brain fast-forwarded to the spelling bees (拼写比赛) ahead: first the county championship, then the state championship, and finally the national spelling bee. “Your answer, please, Theo?” He glanced back at Alexa, another fourth-grader, sitting on the edge of her chair. She wanted another chance at winning. If he missed his word, she’d be back in the game. But that wasn’t going to happen. Theo got the right spelling. Theo’s sister, Deandra, who had also competed but missed her word, applauded with the rest of the crowd. Mr. Ramirez presented the trophy (奖杯) to Theo. He lifted both arms into the air. “I’m the alpha-best.” Then he raced toward his sister. “Ha!” Theo said, making the trophy dance in front of Deandra’s nose. She rolled her eyes. “You’re a terrible winner.” “What’s wrong with celebrating my victory?” Deandra crossed her arms and made a sour face. “You know, it wasn’t cool the way you ignored Alexa onstage. She tried to shake your hand.” Theo shrugged. “I didn’t notice. Anyway, county bee, here I come!” “You might want to crack open the dictionary before counties. In two weeks, you’ll be facing the best of the best.” “And they’ll be up against me, the alpha-beast.” Deandra shook her head. “Well, good luck. I think you’re going to need it.” Two weeks passed in a blink. At the county bee, students from different schools gathered around onstage, some looking more worried than others. Finally, it was time for the contestants to take their seats. After six rounds, the group of more than 100 students decreased to just seven. This was no regular spelling bee. Theo had barely made it through the last round with a lucky guess on conscience. And if he’d had to spell aerospace or conical, he’d be out already. His sister’s advice suddenly made sense. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: When it was his turn again, Theo stood frozen for the longest moment. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The following Monday at school, Theo found Alexa in the lunchroom. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1 When it was his turn again, Theo stood frozen for the longest moment. He didn’t composed himself until the announcer began the countdown. Wiping his sweaty palms on his pants, he was at a loss what to do, with his mind racing, whirr, whirr, like a washing machine on its fast spin. However, his superpower seemed to desert him and he missed the word. He flushed immediately, with eyes fixed on his feet, as if to avoid the stare of the audience. There was no doubt that he lost the game. Only then did he remember the school spelling bee and Alexa just missing the win. He had to admit that Deandra was right — he was absolutely a terrible winner, and now, a terrible loser. Paragraph 2 The following Monday at school, Theo found Alexa in the lunchroom. Lowering his head, he wanted to escape but what Deandra said flashed into his mind. Finally, he gathered up his courage and apologized for his rudeness after he won the school bee. To his surprise, Alexa slid her books aside to make room for him and replied “It’s OK. How was the county bee?” “What a disaster.” Theo shrugged his shoulders and continued “Would you like to be my study partner for next time?” “Why not?” Alexa’s beam of smile seemed to wipe off Theo’s frustration and he was really expecting to be the next Alpha-best. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Theo参加拼写比赛的经历，包括他的准备、比赛过程、胜利、得意、最终失败以及赛后的反思和道歉，展现了一个人物在特定情境下的心理变化和成长过程。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“又轮到Theo时，他僵立了许久。”以及第二段首句内容“周一在学校，Theo在餐厅里看到了Alexa。”可知，第一段可描写Theo输掉了比赛。 ②由第二段首句内容“周一在学校，Theo在餐厅里看到了Alexa。”可知，第二段可描写Theo诚恳地道歉并获得了原谅。 2.续写线索：Theo脑海中一片空白——Theo想不起来单词，也不敢看观众——他输掉了比赛——Theo诚恳地向Alexa道歉——得到Alexa的原谅——成功邀请Alexa成为自己下次比赛的搭档 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①专注于：fix on/focus on ②想要：want to/ would like to ③道歉：apologize/ make an apology 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise/astonishment ②沮丧：frustration/disappointment 【点睛】【高分句型1】There was no doubt that he lost the game.（运用了that引导的同位语从句） 【高分句型2】He had to admit that Deandra was right（运用了that引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$现在是听力试音时间。Hello, international friends club.
