B A cancer survivor, artist Nico Cathcart understood the anxiety patients experienced as they walked past the concrete wall leading into VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center at the adult outpatient pavilion (门诊馆). Consequently, she said yes last year when asked to paint a mural (壁画) on that very wall. “Everyone who walks through those doors is dealing with something heavy,” said Cathcart, who finished the mural in late November. “I hope it gives them lightness. Cancer is tough, but it can’t take away hope.” A Toronto native, Cathcart lived in New York before moving to Richmond. When receiving treatment for thyroid cancer, Cathcart found the art hanging on the walls at Massey helped anchor her. “I’m hoping this mural will do the same,” she said, noting she’s free of cancer. Cathcart was diagnosed (诊断) in her mid-twenties with severe hearing loss. While working in public spaces, Cathcart places a sign nearby to let people know she’s deaf in the event they attempt to start a conversation. “Sometimes it’s helpful to be deaf. My superpower is that when I need to, I can turn around and face the wall and nothing can disturb me. I get to choose when I’m ready to turn around to interact,” she said. In the 12-foot-by-30-foot mural, the viewer appears to be looking up from a field of flowers at a bird flying above with a purple ribbon in its mouth. “It’s my attempt of bringing a positive message of upward motion to those who’re looking at it,” Cathcart said. “The mural’s purple ribbon symbolizes all cancer,” said Shockley, manager of arts in health care at VCU Health, adding, “the work of art is lively and hopeful.” While all of her murals are special in their own way, Cathcart said the mural at Massey will always have an extra special place in her heart. “I was a bit sad finishing it,” she said. “I enjoyed the company of the staff and talking to fellow patients quite a bit. The piece will always be connected personally to my own journey in a way my others might not be.” 4. Why did Cathcart create the mural at Massey? A. To decorate the wall. B. To promote her own work. C. To inspire patients. D. To showcase her artistic skills. 5. What does deafness allow Cathcart to do while working in public spaces? A. Keep focused. B. Trick people. C. Remain creative. D. Be considerate. 6. What aspect of the mural is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Its style. B. Its moral. C. Its structure. D. Its popularity. 7. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Cancer Survivor’s Journey B. Deaf Artist’s Life C. Treatment Through Art D. Hope from Mural C Within a population in nature, individuals vary in their ability to survive and reproduce, and the winners of this competition shape the next generation. Biologists usually focus on the genetic (基因的) and environmental causes of this variation, but sometimes organisms just get lucky. A male goat battling for a female’s attention might face a competitor that accidentally slips on a loose rock and dies. A food-seeking bird may happen upon much food before others, just by chance. “Such lucky breaks could partly explain why some individuals succeed and others fail,” said Matthew Zipple, an evolutionary biologist at Cornell University. That made him wonder what’s the role of luck and what’s the role of competition in leading to those inequalities in adulthood. To answer that question, Zipple and his colleagues created a society using around 100 genetically identical mice. Groups of about 26 two-week-old mice and their mothers were placed in outdoor enclosures in groups that had the same “resource zones” with food and shelter available to all. The team tracked the mice over 46 days, measuring how they behaved and various aspects of fitness. There was one variable — males compete with each other to form territories and access food while females don’t. “What’s left are these really small contingent experiences besides genetics and environment,” said Zipple. For example, an individual male mouse might just so happen to win a fight with its identical twin over food. That lucky break would help it become bigger than its twin, setting it up to win the next fight. “Such experiences mattered much more for males than females,” the researchers reported, suggesting that competition magnifies (放大) the importance of luck. By the end of the experiment, lucky male mice controlled more territory and encountered about five times as many females as lower-quality males. “The study shows luck can be a major factor of success for humans, too,” said Zipple. “We have individuals who start out with identical genetics and identical resource access, but they still end up in different outcomes in adulthood. That has implications for the study of evolution, and should inspire biologists to consider non-genetic causes of an individual’s success, especially when competition is high.” 8. What made Matthew Zipple decide to conduct the research? A. His encounter with lucky events. B. His curiosity about the impacts of luck. C. His belief on animals’ need for luck. D. His interest in lucky animals’ behavior. 9. What was the society for mice like? A. It was relatively equal. B. It was full of harmonious atmosphere. C. It offered different environments. D. It was a safe shelter for unhealthy mice. 10. What does the underlined word “contingent” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Adventurous. B. Dangerous. C. Occasional. D. Frequent. 11. What can be concluded about luck from the findings? A. It is primarily determined by experiences. B. It works in different ways in different settings. C. It tends to be unavailable to females in nature. D. It may help especially in competitive situations. D “A bird’s experience is far richer, more complex and thoughtful than I’d imagined.” It is a sentence on the first page of David Allen Sibley’s new book What It’s Like to Be a Bird. Sibley is a top bird expert. When he did research for this book, thought, he became convinced of something he had not previously anticipated: Birds routinely make complex decisions and experience emotions. He notes that songbirds use reasoning to figure out which seeds offer the best return for their effort. It won’t automatically be the biggest seed around, because if a small seed had high fat content and a lot of energy, it could be the best choice. They may decide to eat later in the day when they spot enemies nearby, thus keeping at flight-ready status in case they are attacked. Occasionally, Sibley presents birds’ ways that seem to me unpleasant. He describes goose feather as the perfect material sought after for jackets and sleeping bags and reports that globally the most common bird is the chicken, “about 500 million egg-layers and the rest being raised for meat.” Why not devote a line or two to calling out cruelty in these industries? Of course, he does not shy away from other scientific reminders, saying that it’s a bad idea to rescue most baby birds, who don’t actually need our help. He also asks readers to resist the desire of adopting baby birds observed on the ground. “They are wild animals and can’t learn life skills from human parents,” he warns. Sibley’s main aim is to draw attention to the varied North American birds we may encounter in our backyards and nearby parks. He recommends an engaged approach to bird-watching: “You will learn faster if you can be an active observer — draw pictures, take notes, write poetry, or take photos. All of these things make you look a little more carefully and a little longer.” Reading every page of the book, I am amazed by the beauty of birds it describes so beautifully. 12. When Sibley did research for his new book, he was surprised by ________. A. humans’ reliance on animals for survival B. the cruelty of food chain among animals C. birds’ intelligence and complex feelings D. D. the varieties of birds in our neighborhoods 13. What can we learn about songbirds from paragraph 3? A. They usually prefer the biggest seeds. B. They consume a lot of energy each day. C. They are unwilling to delay eating their food. D. They are good at making balanced decisions. 14. How does the author feel about Sibley’s description about chickens? A. Unsatisfied B. Scientific C. Romantic D. Funny 15. What might Sibley suggest readers do during bird-watching? A. Feed the birds so they stay longer. B. Engage in as many ways as they can. C. Adopt baby birds playing on the ground. D. Read his book first and watch them closely. 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。 As a psychologist, I often see people struggling with an unhealthy attachment to their devices.

Each morning when David opened the door, he felt discouraged since online stores had been taking over the market and few people walked into the store. Although he had always believed in the magic of physical books, he was beginning to lose hope as bills kept piling up and his savings were running low. One rainy afternoon, as David was sitting behind the counter in the deserted store, thinking about how to rescue the dying bookstore, a young woman entered and introduced herself as Sophie. “I’m visiting one of my friends in this neighborhood,” Sophie said. “She recommended your bookstore for rare books and I decided to check it out.” Sophie then wandered through the bookshelves, running her fingers along the books. After a while, she picked out a book on gardening-a topic she was passionate about-and brought it to the counter. “It seems like you’re really into gardening,” David said as he rang up the book. “I hope it helps you grow your garden. Plants are like people. They need care, but they can really bloom if you give them the right environment.” “Yes, gardening has been such a peaceful escape for me and it has also helped me reach out to people in my town,” Sophie replied with a big smile and proudly showed David a photo of her pretty garden which was filled with vibrant flowers and lush greenery. “It has become a community garden in my neighborhood!” Before she left the store, she added seriously. “By the way, there’s something special about your bookstore. Maybe it is not the most attractive place I have visited, but it has an undeniable charm. I hope you can give it a right environment, too. Maybe it can grow into a place where people find comfort and connection in an otherwise big but passionless city.” 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。 David still stood there after Sophie left and disappeared in the rain. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, David decided to make a change. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 合肥一中28～30日高考保温卷 英语试题 (考试时间：120分钟 满分：150分) 注意事项： 1. 答题前，务必在答题卡和答题卷规定的地方填写自己的姓名、准考证号和座位号后两位。 2. 答题时，每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。 3. 答题时，必须使用0.5毫米的黑色墨水签字笔在答题卷上书写，要求字体工整、笔迹清晰。作图题可先用铅笔在答题卷规定的位置绘出，确认后再用0.5毫米的黑色墨水签字笔描清楚。必须在题号所指示的答题区域作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上答题无效。 4. 考试结束，务必将答题卡和答题卷一并上交。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

Consequently, she said yes last year when asked to paint a mural (壁画) on that very wall. “Everyone who walks through those doors is dealing with something heavy,” said Cathcart, who finished the mural in late November. “I hope it gives them lightness. Cancer is tough, but it can’t take away hope.” A Toronto native Cathcart lived in New York before moving to Richmond. When receiving treatment for thyroid cancer, Cathcart found the art hanging on the walls at Massey helped anchor her. “I’m hoping this mural will do the same,” she said, noting she’s free of cancer. Cathcart was diagnosed (诊断) in her mid-twenties with severe hearing loss. While working in public spaces, Cathcart places a sign nearby to let people know she’s deaf in the event they attempt to start a conversation. “Sometimes it’s helpful to be deaf. My superpower is that when I need to, I can turn around and face the wall and nothing can disturb me. I get to choose when I’m ready to turn around to interact,” she said. In the 12-foot-by-30-foot mural, the viewer appears to be looking up from a field of flowers at a bird flying above with a purple ribbon in its mouth. “It’s my attempt of bringing a positive message of upward motion to those who’re looking at it,” Cathcart said. “The mural’s purple ribbon symbolizes all cancer,” said Shockley, manager of arts in health care at VCU Health, adding, “the work of art is lively and hopeful.” While all of her murals are special in their own way, Cathcart said the mural at Massey will always have an extra special place in her heart. “I was a bit sad finishing it,” she said. “I enjoyed the company of the staff and talking to fellow patients quite a bit. The piece will always be connected personally to my own journey in a way my others might not be.” 4. Why did Cathcart create the mural at Massey? A. To decorate the wall. B. To promote her own work. C. To inspire patients. D. To showcase her artistic skills. 5. What does deafness allow Cathcart to do while working in public spaces? A. Keep focused. B. Trick people. C. Remain creative. D. Be considerate. 6. What aspect of the mural is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Its style. B. Its moral. C. Its structure. D. Its popularity. 7. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Cancer Survivor’s Journey B. Deaf Artist’s Life C. Treatment Through Art D. Hope from Mural 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述癌症幸存者、聋人艺术家尼科·卡斯卡特为癌症中心创作壁画传递希望的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的““Everyone who walks through those doors is dealing with something heavy,” said Cathcart, who finished the mural in late November. “I hope it gives them lightness. Cancer is tough, but it can’t take away hope.” (去年11月下旬完成壁画的卡斯卡特说：“每个走进这些门的人都在承受沉重的负担。我希望它能给他们带来轻松。癌症很艰难，但它无法带走希望。”)”可知，她创作壁画的目的是用艺术作品激励患者，传递希望。故选C项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的““Sometimes it’s helpful to be deaf. My superpower is that when I need to, I can turn around and face the wall and nothing can disturb me. I get to choose when I’m ready to turn around to interact,” she said.( 她表示，“有时耳聋是有帮助的。我的超能力是，当我需要时，我可以转身面对墙壁，没有什么能打扰我。我可以选择何时准备好转身互动。”)”可知，耳聋使她能够在工作时不受外界干扰，专注于创作。故选A项。 【6题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段中的““It’s my attempt of bringing a positive message of upward motion to those who’re looking at it,” Cathcart said. “The mural’s purple ribbon symbolizes all cancer,” said Shockley, manager of arts in health care at VCU Health, adding, “the work of art is lively and hopeful.” (卡斯卡特说：“这是我试图为观看者带来向上的积极信息。”弗吉尼亚联邦大学健康中心艺术与健康管理经理肖克利说：“壁画的紫色丝带象征着所有癌症。”并补充道：“这件艺术品充满活力和希望。”)”可知，该段主要阐述壁画的创作理念和象征意义，即其传递的精神寓意(moral)。故选B项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章以卡斯卡特创作癌症中心壁画为线索，通过她的创作初衷、壁画的设计元素及传递的情感，突出“壁画作为艺术载体给予患者希望”这一核心，“来自壁画的希望”精准概括文章主题，适合作为标题。故选D项。 C Within a population in nature, individuals vary in their ability to survive and reproduce, and the winners of this competition shape the next generation. Biologists usually focus on the genetic (基因的) and environmental causes of this variation, but sometimes organisms just get lucky. A male goat battling for a female’s attention might face a competitor that accidentally slips on a loose rock and dies. A food-seeking bird may happen upon much food before others, just by chance. “Such lucky breaks could partly explain why some individuals succeed and others fail,” said Matthew Zipple, an evolutionary biologist at Cornell University. That made him wonder what’s the role of luck and what’s the role of competition in leading to those inequalities in adulthood. To answer that question, Zipple and his colleagues created a society using around 100 genetically identical mice. Groups of about 26 two-week-old mice and their mothers were placed in outdoor enclosures in groups that had the same “resource zones” with food and shelter available to all. The team tracked the mice over 46 days, measuring how they behaved and various aspects of fitness. There was one variable — males compete with each other to form territories and access food while females don’t. “What’s left are these really small contingent experiences besides genetics and environment,” said Zipple. For example, an individual male mouse might just so happen to win a fight with its identical twin over food. That lucky break would help it become bigger than its twin, setting it up to win the next fight. “Such experiences mattered much more for males than females,” the researchers reported, suggesting that competition magnifies (放大) the importance of luck. By the end of the experiment, lucky male mice controlled more territory and encountered about five times as many females as lower-quality males. “The study shows luck can be a major factor of success for humans, too,” said Zipple. “We have individuals who start out with identical genetics and identical resource access, but they still end up in different outcomes in adulthood. That has implications for the study of evolution, and should inspire biologists to consider non-genetic causes of an individual’s success, especially when competition is high.” 8. What made Matthew Zipple decide to conduct the research? A. His encounter with lucky events. B. His curiosity about the impacts of luck. C. His belief on animals’ need for luck. D. His interest in lucky animals’ behavior. 9. What was the society for mice like? A. It was relatively equal. B. It was full of harmonious atmosphere. C. It offered different environments. D. It was a safe shelter for unhealthy mice. 10. What does the underlined word “contingent” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Adventurous. B. Dangerous. C. Occasional. D. Frequent. 11. What can be concluded about luck from the findings? A. It is primarily determined by experiences. B. It works in different ways in different settings. C. It tends to be unavailable to females in nature. D. It may help especially in competitive situations. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了康奈尔大学的进化生物学家Matthew Zipple通过用基因相同的小鼠做实验，研究运气和竞争在导致成年个体不平等中各自的作用。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“‘Such lucky breaks could partly explain why some individuals succeed and others fail,’ said Matthew Zipple, an evolutionary biologist at Cornell University. That made him wonder what’s the role of luck and what’s the role of competition in leading to those inequalities in adulthood.(康奈尔大学进化生物学家马修·齐普尔表示：“这种幸运的突破可以部分解释为什么有些人成功而有些人失败。”这让他不禁思考，在导致成年后的这些不平等现象中，运气和竞争各自扮演了什么角色)”和第二段中“To answer that question, Zipple and his colleagues created a society using around 100 genetically identical mice.(为了回答这个问题，Zipple和他的同事们用大约100只基因相同的老鼠创建了一个社会)”可知，Matthew Zipple对运气的影响感到好奇，所以决定开展这项研究。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Groups of about 26 two week old mice and their mothers were placed in outdoor enclosures in groups that had the same ‘resource zones’ with food and shelter available to all.(大约26只两周大的小鼠及其母亲被分成几组，安置在户外围栏中，这些围栏有相同的“资源区”，所有小鼠都能获得食物和住所)”可知，小鼠所处的环境在资源获取方面相对平等。故选A项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“What’s left are these really small contingent experiences besides genetics and environment(除了基因和环境之外，剩下的就是这些非常小的……经历)” 和后文所举的例子“For example, an individual male mouse might just so happen to win a fight with its identical twin over food(例如：一只雄性小鼠可能恰好能在与同卵双胞胎争夺食物的战斗中获胜)”可知，剩下的都是一些具有偶然性的经历。划线词contingent表示“偶然的、偶尔发生的”，与C项“Occasional”意思相近。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“‘Such experiences mattered much more for males than females,’ the researchers reported, suggesting that competition magnifies (放大) the importance of luck. By the end of the experiment, lucky male mice controlled more territory and encountered about five times as many females as lower-quality males.(研究人员报告称：“这些经历对雄性的影响远大于雌性”，这表明竞争放大了运气的重要性。实验结束时，幸运的雄性小鼠控制了更多领地，接触到的雌性数量约为劣势雄性的五倍)”和最后一段中“That has implications for the study of evolution, and should inspire biologists to consider non-genetic causes of an individual’s success, especially when competition is high.(这一发现对进化研究具有重要意义，或将促使生物学家更多地关注个体成功的非遗传因素——尤其在竞争激烈的环境中)”可知，在竞争激烈的情况下，运气尤其能起到帮助作用。故选D项。 D “A bird’s experience is far richer, more complex and thoughtful than I’d imagined.” It is a sentence on the first page of David Allen Sibley’s new book What It’s Like to Be a Bird. Sibley is a top bird expert. When he did research for this book, thought, he became convinced of something he had not previously anticipated: Birds routinely make complex decisions and experience emotions. He notes that songbirds use reasoning to figure out which seeds offer the best return for their effort. It won’t automatically be the biggest seed around, because if a small seed had high fat content and a lot of energy, it could be the best choice. They may decide to eat later in the day when they spot enemies nearby, thus keeping at flight-ready status in case they are attacked. Occasionally, Sibley presents birds’ ways that seem to me unpleasant. He describes goose feather as the perfect material sought after for jackets and sleeping bags and reports that globally the most common bird is the chicken, “about 500 million egg-layers and the rest being raised for meat.” Why not devote a line or two to calling out cruelty in these industries? Of course, he does not shy away from other scientific reminders, saying that it’s a bad idea to rescue most baby birds, who don’t actually need our help. He also asks readers to resist the desire of adopting baby birds observed on the ground. “They are wild animals and can’t learn life skills from human parents,” he warns. Sibley’s main aim is to draw attention to the varied North American birds we may encounter in our backyards and nearby parks. He recommends an engaged approach to bird-watching: “You will learn faster if you can be an active observer — draw pictures, take notes, write poetry, or take photos. All of these things make you look a little more carefully and a little longer.” Reading every page of the book, I am amazed by the beauty of birds it describes so beautifully. 12. When Sibley did research for his new book, he was surprised by ________. A. humans’ reliance on animals for survival B. the cruelty of food chain among animals C. birds’ intelligence and complex feelings D. D. the varieties of birds in our neighborhoods 13. What can we learn about songbirds from paragraph 3? A. They usually prefer the biggest seeds. B. They consume a lot of energy each day. C. They are unwilling to delay eating their food. D. They are good at making balanced decisions. 14. How does the author feel about Sibley’s description about chickens? A. Unsatisfied B. Scientific C. Romantic D. Funny 15. What might Sibley suggest readers do during bird-watching? A. Feed the birds so they stay longer. B. Engage in as many ways as they can. C. Adopt baby birds playing on the ground. D. Read his book first and watch them closely. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文，文章属于书评，作者在文中对David Allen Sibley的新书做出了非常精彩的评价。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“When he did research for this book, thought, he became convinced of something he had not previously anticipated: Birds routinely make complex decisions and experience emotions.(当他为这本书做研究时，他确信了一些他以前没有预料到的事情：鸟类通常会做出复杂的决定，并经历情感)”可知，让David Allen Sibley感到吃惊的是鸟的智慧和复杂的感情，故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“It won’t automatically be the biggest seed around, because if a small seed had high fat content and a lot of energy, it could be the best choice. They may decide to eat later in the day when they spot enemies nearby, thus keeping at flight-ready status in case they are attacked.(它不会自动在最大的种子周围，因为如果一个小种子含有高脂肪和大量的能量，它可能是最好的选择。当它们发现附近有敌人时，它们可能会决定在当天晚些时候进食，从而在万一受到攻击时保持飞行准备状态)”可知，songbird不会自动选择最大的种子，而是根据能量回报选择，并可能推迟进食以应对威胁，由此推知songbird做决定时，很会审时度势，故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Why not devote a line or two to calling out cruelty in these industries?(为什么不写一两行来呼吁这些行业的残酷行为呢？)”可知，作者对书中有关鸡的描述并不满意：只是把它们当作食物和原料来对待，这有点残酷，故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“You will learn faster if you can be an active observer — draw pictures, take notes, write poetry, or take photos.(如果你能成为一个积极的观察者——画画、记笔记、写诗或拍照，你会学得更快)”可知，Sibley会鼓励读者尽量多尝试不同方法，以便提高观鸟效果，故选B。 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。 As a psychologist, I often see people struggling with an unhealthy attachment to their devices.

Or you could get stuck on your device at the dinner table and miss precious time with your family.(找出屏幕会让你的生活变得更糟的时间和情况。你可能会在睡前花太多时间在社交媒体上，然后感到沮丧，失去几个小时的睡眠时间。或者你可能会在餐桌上沉迷于你的电子设备，错过与家人共度的宝贵时光)”可知，此处是在例举那些屏幕会让你的生活变得更糟的时间和情况，所以G项“Maybe you are inefficient at work because you’re doing too much online shopping(也许你工作效率低下是因为你在网上购物太多了)”符合此处主题，为相关情况的举例。故选G项。 【18题详解】 设空位于段首，为本段中心句，根据后文“You might be endlessly scrolling because you want to feel uplifted at the end of the day, or because you want to forget about a stressful situation. Perhaps you miss spending time with others, and social media seems to be the next best option. Write down your needs.(你无休止地滚动屏幕可能是因为你想在一天结束的时候感到精神振奋，或者是因为你想忘记压力。也许你想念与他人共度的时光，社交媒体似乎是次佳选择。写下你的需求)”可知，本段是明确你的需求，所以F项“Once you identify the pain points, ask yourself what you are actually hungry for(一旦你确定了痛点，问问自己你真正渴望的是什么)”承接上文，并引出下文，为本段中心句。故选F项。 【19题详解】 根据前文“For example, if your goal is social connection, make plans for a nice meal with a friend or take that weekly meeting in person rather than via social media.(例如，如果你的目标是建立社会关系，那就计划和朋友一起吃顿好饭，或者每周见面，而不是通过社交媒体)”以及后文“schedule time for oil painting, reading historical fiction or whatever it is that uplifts you.(那就安排时间画油画、读历史小说或任何能让你振奋的东西)”可知，此处是在举例，如何通过其他方法摆脱手机，空处应是和画油画、读历史小说有关，所以A项“If your goal is inspiration(如果你的目标是灵感)”符合文意。故选A项。 【20题详解】 设空位于段尾，是对前文的总结，根据前文“If you just feel bored, you can use boredom as an excuse to get back to taking walks a few times a week.(如果你只是觉得无聊，你可以以无聊为借口，每周出去散步几次)”可知，介绍散步的替代方法，D项“Pretty soon, these replacements will make you feel much better(很快，这些替代方法就会让你感觉好多了)”是对前文的总结，符合文意。故选D项。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 We began our bus trips when I was around seven years old.

An 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了中国景区日益数字化的趋势，以八达岭长城、深圳主题公园及黄山为例，说明无人机配送在景区的应用情况、运输能力及对低空经济发展的推动作用。 【36题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：在北京八达岭长城，游客可以买到美团无人机几分钟内送达的精选商品。此处为非谓语动词作定语，products与choose为被动关系，用过去分词chosen表示“精选的”。故填chosen。 【37题详解】 考查副词。句意：此前，这样的配送需要步行50分钟，但随着无人机的运行，这一时间已大幅缩短。修饰动词shortened用副词，dramatic的副词为dramatically意为“显著地”。故填dramatically。 【38题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：无人机配送在其他旅游景点也已常规化运营，包括深圳的世界之窗和欢乐谷主题公园。此处为名词作主语，根据谓语动词have been可知，主语用复数形式deliveries。故填deliveries。 【39题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：在欢乐谷，无人机已显著缩短了配送时间，并推动了星巴克咖啡和快餐等外卖订单销量。此处为谓语动词，根据语境，动作从过去持续到现在，用现在完成时，主语drones为复数，所以谓语动词为have made。故填have made。 【40题详解】 考查介词。句意：在4月至11月的旅游旺季期间，黄山平均每天需要运输15至20公吨的货物。此处为固定搭配on average意为“平均”，所以此处使用介词on。故填on。 【41题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：景区日常运营所需的肉类、蔬菜、矿泉水、大米等生鲜物资，以及生活垃圾等物品，都可通过无人机运输。此处为关系词引导的非限制性定语从句，先行词为 Fresh materials...as well as household waste and other items，指物，在非限制性定语从句中作主语，用关系代词which引导。故填which。 【42题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：黄山的无人机让那些有在山区运输产品需求的人看到了解决这一问题的可能性。根据固定搭配have a demand to do sth.意为“有做某事的需求”可知，此处用不定式to transport作后置定语。故填to transport。 【43题详解】 考查名词。句意同上。不定冠词a后接名词，possible的名词形式为possibility意为“可能性”作宾语。故填possibility。 【44题详解】 考查形容词。句意：低空经济的产业发展更依赖技术和产业创新。修饰名词innovation用形容词，technology的形容词为technological意为“技术的”，与industrial并列作定语。故填technological。 【45题详解】 考查冠词。句意：越来越多的新应用将出现，从长远来看会影响消费者的生活。此处为固定搭配an increasing number of意为“越来越多的”，所以此处使用冠词an，位于句首，首字母需大写。故填An。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 46. 假定你是李华，你的交换生好友Peter想报名参加校乒乓球比赛，但因担心表现不佳而犹豫不决。请你写封邮件鼓励他参加，内容包括： 1.参赛的好处； 2.承诺提供帮助。 注意：1.写作词数应为80个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Peter _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Peter, I’m glad to hear that you’re considering the table tennis competition!

Each morning when David opened the door, he felt discouraged since online stores had been taking over the market and few people walked into the store. Although he had always believed in the magic of physical books, he was beginning to lose hope as bills kept piling up and his savings were running low. One rainy afternoon, as David was sitting behind the counter in the deserted store, thinking about how to rescue the dying bookstore, a young woman entered and introduced herself as Sophie. “I’m visiting one of my friends in this neighborhood,” Sophie said. “She recommended your bookstore for rare books and I decided to check it out.” Sophie then wandered through the bookshelves, running her fingers along the books. After a while, she picked out a book on gardening-a topic she was passionate about-and brought it to the counter. “It seems like you’re really into gardening,” David said as he rang up the book. “I hope it helps you grow your garden. Plants are like people. They need care, but they can really bloom if you give them the right environment.” “Yes, gardening has been such a peaceful escape for me and it has also helped me reach out to people in my town,” Sophie replied with a big smile and proudly showed David a photo of her pretty garden which was filled with vibrant flowers and lush greenery. “It has become a community garden in my neighborhood!” Before she left the store, she added seriously. “By the way, there’s something special about your bookstore. Maybe it is not the most attractive place I have visited, but it has an undeniable charm. I hope you can give it a right environment, too. Maybe it can grow into a place where people find comfort and connection in an otherwise big but passionless city.” 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。 David still stood there after Sophie left and disappeared in the rain. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, David decided to make a change. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: David still stood there after Sophie left and disappeared in the rain. Her words kept coming back to him. For the first time in months, he didn’t feel the heavy weight of worry. Instead, he thought about Sophie’s words. “Sophie is right. A bookstore shouldn’t be just about books. It should be like her garden that brings the community together. What I should do is create an environment where people can bond-and then the bookstore will grow on its own!” David thought. The next day, David decided to make a change. He set up a corner for authors to showcase their books and share their stories. Then he started to host weekly book clubs, inviting people to share their love for their own favorite books. He even set aside a place furnished with comfortable chairs and soft lighting for people to relax, drink tea and talk. To his delight, more and more people started to show up. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了David是一个被迫接手父亲濒临倒闭书店年轻人，面对网络书店的冲击和日益减少的顾客，他几乎要放弃希望。直到有一天，热爱园艺的顾客Sophie来到书店，她不仅购买了一本园艺书籍，更通过与David关于“植物需要合适环境才能绽放”的对话，无意中点醒了他。Sophie展示的社区花园照片和她对书店独特魅力的肯定，让David恍然大悟：原来实体书店也可以像社区花园一样，成为都市人寻找慰藉的精神家园。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Sophie走了，消失在雨中，David仍然站在那里。”可知，第一段可描写David受到Sophie的启发，意识到书店应该把社区团结在一起，并想到了如何发展书店。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天，David决定做些改变。”可知，第二段可描写David做出了哪些改变。 2. 续写线索：回想Sophie的话——意识到书店的作用——想到如何发展书店——做出改变——来书店的人开始变多。 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①联系：bond/connect ②设立：set up/establish ③举办：host/initiate 情绪类 ①担忧：worry/anxiety ②高兴：delight/pleasure 【点睛】[高分句型1]It should be like her garden that brings the community together.(that引导的定语从句) [高分句型2]What I should do is create an environment where people can bond-and then the bookstore will grow on its own!(what引导的主语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
