What better place is there to chill than at the beach? When you’re on a budget, you can easily plan an inexpensive vacation to a super shoreline. Oceanside, California Oceanside was once a less desirable area to visit. But the city has made an effort to invest in tourism. Visitors can stay at The Brick Hotel at less than $250 a night for two people. Low-cost activities include surfing, fishing, riding bikes, and visiting the California Surf Museum. Martinique The French island of Martinique faces the calm Caribbean Sea and the more active Atlantic Ocean, with sandy beaches along the southern coast. Served by both major and cheap airlines, this destination’s delicious Creole cuisine and less touristy atmosphere attract numerous visitors. Martinique also boasts highly regarded rum wine, excellent hiking sites and a variety of festivals. Waikiki, Hawaii While oceanfront hotels on Waikiki Beach can cost over $400 a night, just a few blocks away, visitors can stay at affordable hotels for less than $150 a night. There are many budget-friendly activities, such as relaxing at the beach, hiking Diamond Head, visiting the Waikiki Marine Life Museum, and biking around town. Myrtle Beach, South Carolina With warm temperatures year-round, Myrtle Beach offers tons of outdoor activities, such as golf, fishing, and other water sports. Broadway at the Beach and Barefoot Landing offer free live entertainment, kids’ activities, and fireworks during the summer. Some hotels even offer barbecue facilities. If customers pay in advance online, rates can drop as low as $80 per night. 1. What is special for Martinique among the four places? A. Hiking. B. Food and drinks. C. Biking. D. Beach views. 2. Which place offers fireworks show? A. Oceanside. B. Martinique. C. Waikiki. D. Myrtle Beach. 3. What is the common feature of the four beaches? A. Flavoured foods. B. Economical budget. C. Luxurious activities. D. Convenient transport. 【答案】1. B 2. D 3. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文，主要介绍了四个世界上适合旅游的海滨目的地，以及它们各自的特色和适合预算有限游客的原因。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Martinique”部分的“Served by both major and cheap airlines, this destination’s delicious Creole cuisine and less touristy atmosphere attract numerous visitors. Martinique also boasts highly regarded rum wine.(这里有大型航空公司和廉价航空公司提供服务，这个旅游目的地美味的Creole美食和不太商业化的旅游氛围吸引了众多游客。Martinique岛还以备受赞誉的朗姆酒、绝佳的徒步旅行地点和各种各样的节日而自豪。)”可知，Martinique岛有美味的Creole美食和备受赞誉的朗姆酒，在食物和饮品方面有独特之处。而其他三个地方在这方面没有特别提及。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。由“Myrtle Beach, South Carolina”部分的“Broadway at the Beach and Barefoot Landing offer free live entertainment, kids’ activities, and fireworks during the summer.(海滩百老汇和赤脚登陆点在夏季提供免费的现场娱乐表演、儿童活动和烟火表演。)”可知，Myrtle Beach的百老汇海滩和赤脚海滩在夏季提供免费的现场娱乐、儿童活动和烟花表演。其他三个地方均未提及有烟花表演。故选D项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。文章第一段提到“When you're on a budget, you can easily plan an inexpensive vacation to a super shoreline.(当你预算有限时，你可以轻松规划一次前往超级海岸线的经济实惠的度假之旅。)”，接着分别介绍了四个地方，都提到了有价格实惠的住宿或活动，比如Oceanside有价格低于250美元一晚的酒店，Martinique岛有便宜的航空公司，Waikiki几个街区外有不到150美元一晚的酒店，Myrtle Beach提前在网上付款酒店价格可低至80美元一晚。所以这四个海滩的共同特点是经济实惠。故选B项。 B I never thought I’d work in a jewelry store. I didn’t even wear a watch. But as a teenager needing money, and with the store short-staffed during the holiday rush, I took the job despite my inexperience. My disinterest showed in my sales. The only thing I was good at was selling a nice aftershave (刮胡水) called British Sterling. I told women buying it for their partners that they were really buying it for themselves. If it made them happy, it was the right choice. One busy evening, the store was packed with customers, mostly men, looking for last-minute gifts. We focused on showing them the pricier items. About half an hour before closing, a young girl approached me, looking worried. She wanted a special gift for her mom, but she only had $6. We had some affordable earrings, so I showed her a few pairs. The store was getting crowded, and my manager, George, kept giving me looks. Finally, she found a pair of earrings. Her eyes lit up. “These are perfect. My mom will love them,” she said. We quickly went to the register. The total was $4.98. As I bagged the earrings, her face shone with joy. I decided to wrap the gift in our fancy gold paper and tie a ribbon around it, making it look like a gift for the best mom ever. The girl left the store, beaming. George said to me, “We have customers ready to spend big, and you spent all this time on a $4.98 sale. You even gift-wrapped it, which is for purchases over $10.” Without missing a beat, I replied, “This girl understands the true spirit of giving. It’s not about the money; it’s about the thought and the heart put into the gift.” 4. Why was the author offered the job? A. The boss needed a helping hand. B. He wanted to support his family. C. He had great interest in jewellery. D. The boss valued his work experience. 5. What can be inferred from paragraph 2? A. Any gift for loved ones is good. B. People should buy gifts for their own liking. C. British Sterling is the best compared with other gifts. D. What matters is whether people’s loved ones like the gifts. 6. How did George react to the author’s wrapping the earrings? A. Supportive. B. Ashamed. C. Unconcerned. D. Annoyed. 7. What did the author find in the girl? A. The joy of experience. B. The value of giving. C. The necessity of support. D. The importance of family. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在珠宝店工作的经历，在帮助一位女孩挑选礼物并为她精心包装礼物的过程中，作者意识到赠送礼物的真正意义在于心意，而不仅仅是金钱价值。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“But as a teenager needing money, and with the store short-staffed during the holiday rush, I took the job despite my inexperience.(但作为一个需要钱的青少年，加之商店在假日购物高峰期间人手短缺，尽管我缺乏经验，我还是接受了这份工作)”可知，作者得到了这份工作是因为老板需要帮手。故选A。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“I told women buying it for their partners that they were really buying it for themselves. If it made them happy, it was the right choice.(我告诉那些给伴侣买它的女人，她们其实是给自己买的。如果这能让他们开心，那就是正确的选择)”可知，从第二段可以推断出人们应该买自己喜欢的礼物。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“We have customers ready to spend big, and you spent all this time on a $4.98 sale. You even gift-wrapped it, which is for purchases over $ 10.(我们有愿意花大钱的顾客，而你却花了这么多时间在4.98美元的促销上。你甚至还把它包装成礼物，这是给10美元以上的顾客的)”可知，乔治对作者包装耳环是感到生气的，故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“This girl understands the true spirit of giving. It’s not about the money; it’s about the thought and the heart put into the gift.(这个女孩懂得给予的真正精神。这不是钱的问题；重要的是你在礼物上的心思和用心)”可知，作者在女孩身上发现了给予的价值。故选B。 C Not long ago, Uganda used to be home to both the black and northern white rhinos (犀牛). But by the early 1980s, due to illegal hunting and trade, and political instability, native populations — once thought to number around 700 — were wiped out. More than a decade later, an initiative to bring back the majestic animals was born, with newly formed charity Rhino Fund Uganda approaching Captain Charles Roy, former pilot and owner of Ziwa cattle ranch (农场), which they had targeted as ideal rhino habitat, with the idea that he should move the herds of cattle out, and rhino in. Roy agreed. In 2005 and 2006, six southern white rhinos were relocated to the ranch. The result is a big success: the rhino population at Ziwa is now eight times the original number, with five born in the last three months. Wendy Roy, daughter of Captain Roy, has since taken over some of Ziwa’s management. Brought up between the UK and Uganda, she admits that she was not born a conservationist, but now, as she gets more involved, she is starting to see the magic in it. “Sometimes in the evenings, when I see the rhinos coming near, I think, ‘Wow, this looks like the Garden of Eden,’” she says. “It’s incredible: not just rhinos but zebras, antelopes, waterbucks. It’s peaceful.” Roy believes this calm setting is one of the secrets to Ziwa’s success. Also key are the rangers who provide 24/7 protection. This stops those seeking rhino horns for the illegal wildlife trade, and it allows rangers to monitor rhino behavior, gathering detailed data that can be used to inform rhino conservation globally. It has always been Ziwa’s central mission to raise the number of rhinos so that they can be moved from Ziwa to other national parks across the country. If the move is successful, the benefits could be significant. This will not only help to enhance biodiversity, but boost Uganda’s wildlife tourism. 8. What caused rhinos’ distinction in Uganda by the 1980s? A. Human activities. B. Food shortages. C. Disease outbreaks. D. Climate changes. 9. How many rhinos are there at Ziwa cattle ranch now? A. 700. B. 6. C. 48. D. 43. 10. What contributes to Ziwa Ranch’s success in rhino conservation? A. Constant protection. B. Wendy Roy’s leadership. C. Behavior data collection. D. Laws against illegal trade. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. History of Ziwa Cattle Ranch B. Restoring Rhinos in Uganda C. Rise of Uganda’s Wildlife Tourism D. Challenges of Moving Rhinos 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了乌干达通过Ziwa牧场的犀牛保护计划，成功使濒临灭绝的犀牛种群数量恢复，并展望未来迁移至国家公园的生态及旅游效益。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“But by the early 1980s, due to illegal hunting and trade, and political instability, native populations — once thought to number around 700 — were wiped out. (但到了20世纪80年代初，由于非法狩猎、贸易以及政局动荡，当地一度约有700头的犀牛种群已全部灭绝)”可知，20世纪80年代，人类活动导致了乌干达犀牛的灭绝。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“In 2005 and 2006, six southern white rhinos were relocated to the ranch. The result is a big success: the rhino population at Ziwa is now eight times the original number, with five born in the last three months. (2005至2006年间，六头南方白犀牛被迁至该牧场。这一举措取得了巨大成功：如今Ziwa牧场的犀牛数量已达最初引入时的八倍，仅过去三个月就有五头小犀牛诞生)”可知，现在Ziwa牧场有48头(=6×8)犀牛。故选C项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Also key are the rangers who provide 24/7 protection. (同样关键的是巡逻员提供的全天候保护)”可知，成功关键包括巡逻员的持续保护。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段中“More than a decade later, an initiative to bring back the majestic animals was born, with newly formed charity Rhino Fund Uganda approaching Captain Charles Roy, former pilot and owner of Ziwa cattle ranch (农场), which they had targeted as ideal rhino habitat, with the idea that he should move the herds of cattle out, and rhino in. Roy agreed. (十多年后，一项旨在让这种雄伟动物重返乌干达的计划应运而生。新成立的慈善组织“乌干达犀牛基金会”找到了Ziwa牧场的主人Charles Roy上尉——他既是牧场主，也曾是飞行员。基金会认为这片牧场是犀牛理想的栖息地，建议他将牧场的牛群迁出，引入犀牛。Roy上尉欣然接受了这个提议)”可知，文章围绕乌干达通过Ziwa牧场重建犀牛种群展开，介绍了灭绝背景、保护措施及未来计划，核心是“恢复”。故选B项。 D For so long, busyness has become part of who we are. To be busy is to be productive, and to be productive is to be successful. We tend to think having a jam-packed calendar and flying through life at a fast speed are an effective marker of how well we are doing. But a lot of the people who live like this are not actually doing all that well. They are exhausted and overwhelmed. To tackle this, we have to slow down. In recent times, there has been a push-back against busyness. More people are trying to find more time for themselves, and say “no” to more invites. “Slow living” enthusiasts will tell you life is better when you’re not moving so quickly. They say taking tasks one at a time, never rushing or over-filling your diary gives you the space to appreciate things as they happen. To my thinking, slow living is all about being conscious of the here-and-now, making considered decisions about how to spend your time, and enjoying the little things in life, which benefits you both physically and mentally. For those living with chronic (慢性的) illness, slow living can be a lifeline. Hannah Hoskins suffers from severe muscle pain, and some days she only has the energy to sit up for ten minutes. “Slow living saved my life. It tells you that productivity isn’t the end goal and that as humans we need to be able to have full lives rather than working nonstop. Realizing it’s literally impossible to ‘do it all’ sets you free to decide if you actually want to do all the things you are doing.” Hannah says that her tip for anyone trying to practice slow living is to start small. “Say ‘no’ to that thing you feel you should do, but actually fear,” she suggests. “When you realize that the world doesn’t end and people don’t hate you if you say no to things, try it again and then just keep going. The more you ask yourself — Is this something I really want to do or am I doing it because I feel I should? — it becomes much easier to just stop doing things you don’t enjoy.” 12. What does the underlined word “jam-packed” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Flexible. B. Crowded. C. Consistent. D. Stable. 13. What does the author think of slow living? A. It is beneficial for people’s health. B. It is a lifestyle few people can practice. C. It will boost people’s enthusiasm for their work. D. It allows people to make more preparations for the future. 14. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3? A. Introduce a patient’s recovery process. B. Highlight the necessity of taking physical exercise. C. Offer some methods for improving working efficiency. D. Prove the benefit of slow living by giving an example. 15. According to Hannah Hoskins, what should you do to practice slow living? A. Finish whatever task is assigned to you. B. Decline tasks you fear but feel duty-bound to do. C. Challenge yourself to do a more demanding job. D. Strike up a good relationship with people around you. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章指出忙碌生活的弊端，倡导慢生活，阐述了慢生活的益处，并以慢性病患者为例进行说明，还给出践行慢生活的建议。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“For so long, busyness has become part of who we are. To be busy is to be productive, and to be productive is to be successful. We tend to think having a jam-packed calendar and flying through life at a fast speed are an effective marker of how well we are doing. (长久以来，忙碌已经成为我们生活的一部分。忙碌就是高效，高效就是成功。我们倾向于认为，jam-packed的日程，快速地度过生活，是衡量我们过得如何的一个有效标志)”可知，人们普遍认为忙碌象征着成功，所以衡量我们过得如何的一个标志就是“满满的日程”。划线词“jam packed”的意思“拥挤的、塞满的”，与B项“crowded”同义。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“To my thinking, slow living is all about being conscious of the here and now, making considered decisions about how to spend your time, and enjoying the little things in life, which benefits you both physically and mentally. (在我看来，慢生活就是要活在当下，慎重决定如何安排时间，享受生活中的小事，这对身心都有益)”可知，作者认为慢生活对人们的健康有益。故选A项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“For those living with chronic (慢性的) illness, slow living can be a lifeline. Hannah Hoskins suffers from severe muscle pain, and some days she only has the energy to sit up for ten minutes. ‘Slow living saved my life. It tells you that productivity isn’t the end goal and that as humans we need to be able to have full lives rather than working nonstop. Realizing it’s literally impossible to ‘do it all’ sets you free to decide if you actually want to do all the things you are doing.’ (对于那些患有慢性病的人来说，慢生活可能是一条生命线。汉娜·霍斯金斯患有严重的肌肉疼痛，有些日子她只有坐起来十分钟的力气。‘慢生活救了我的命。它告诉你，高效并不是最终目标，作为人类，我们需要能够拥有充实的生活，而不是不停地工作。意识到‘做所有的事情’实际上是不可能的，这会让你自由地决定你是否真的想做你正在做的所有事情。’)”可知，慢生活救了汉娜·霍斯金斯的命，作者通过举汉娜·霍斯金斯的例子来证明慢生活的好处。故选D项。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Hannah says that her tip for anyone trying to practice slow living is to start small. ‘Say ‘no’ to that thing you feel you should do, but actually fear,’ she suggests. (汉娜说，她给任何想要践行慢生活的人的建议是从小事做起。‘对那些你觉得自己应该做，但实际上又害怕做的事情说‘不’，’她建议道)”可知，汉娜·霍斯金斯认为践行慢生活应该拒绝那些你害怕但又觉得有义务去做的任务。故选B项。 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Is there a pessimist in your life-a person who thinks about the negative aspects of a situation more than the positive? ____16____. The strategy to not let a pessimist get you down is to reduce the effect pessimism has on you. The following tips may work. ____17____ Sometimes we can spend so much time worrying about others and how they are feeling that we lose sight of ourselves. Take responsibility for your own feelings and reactions towards pessimism. By focusing on your own happiness and less, you take the power away from negativity. Give attention to the person’s good qualities The individual’s views on things isn't her only feature. ____18____. So rather than fixing on the negatives, look for the good things. Is she intelligent? Supportive of you? Is she unique enough not to care what anyone else thinks about her? Pay attention to the positive aspects of a person and seek to balance out the negatives. Practice acceptance ____19____. Learning to get along with people who are not like us is an important part of self-development and socialization. Being pessimistic isn't always bad. Some researchers have argued it may actually make people happier and closer to reality because they will be more prepared and less disappointed if they consider that the worst outcome might occur. Create boundaries You may need to spend time apart from this person or distance yourself. Setting boundaries on what you discuss with the person and how long you bathe in her influence can be useful ways of overcoming your dislike of being in her presence. Of course, do not just ignore her. ____20____. A. Care about others B. Focus on yourself C. There are many more complex qualities within a person D. Don’t be too quick to dismiss people due to their pessimism E. That would be considered passive-aggressive communication F. Accepting the pessimistic ideas can make you more adaptable G. If you are optimistic, it may be hard to deal with a pessimist’s opinions 【答案】16. G 17. B 18. C 19. D 20. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要围绕“如何应对生活中的悲观主义者”这一主题展开，提供了具体的建议和策略。 【16题详解】 根据前文“Is there a pessimist in your life-a person who thinks about the negative aspects of a situation more than the positive?(在你的生活中是否有悲观主义者——一个总是考虑事情的消极方面多于积极方面的人？)”以及后文“The strategy to not let a pessimist get you down is to reduce the effect pessimism has on you.(不让悲观主义者打倒你的策略是减少悲观对你的影响)”可知前文询问在你的生活中是否有悲观主义者，后文提到不让悲观主义者打倒你，所以空处应是过渡句，G项“If you are optimistic, it may be hard to deal with a pessimist’s opinions(如果你是乐观的，可能很难处理悲观主义者的意见)”承接上文，并引出下文，提出减少悲观对你的影响的策略。故选G项。 【17题详解】 设空为本段小标题，根据后文“Sometimes we can spend so much time worrying about others and how they are feeling that we lose sight of ourselves. Take responsibility for your own feelings and reactions towards pessimism. By focusing on your own happiness and less, you take the power away from negativity.(有时候我们会花太多时间担心别人和他们的感受，而忽略了自己。对自己的情绪和对悲观的反应负责。通过关注自己的快乐和消极，你可以从消极中获得力量)”可知，本段主要讲述了关注自己的快乐和消极，你可以从消极中获得力，所以B项“Focus on yourself(关注自己)”符合本段主题，为本段小标题。故选B项。 【18题详解】 根据前文“The individual’s views on things isn't her only feature.(个人对事物的看法并不是她唯一的特点)”可知，C项“There are many more complex qualities within a person(一个人有许多更复杂的品质)”是对前文的进一步解释，并和后文“So rather than fixing on the negatives, look for the good things.(所以，与其总想着消极的一面，不如多看看好的一面)”构成因果关系。故选C项。 【19题详解】 设空位于段首，为本段中心句，根据后文“Learning to get along with people who are not like us is an important part of self-development and socialization. Being pessimistic isn't always bad. Some researchers have argued it may actually make people happier and closer to reality because they will be more prepared and less disappointed if they consider that the worst outcome might occur.(学会与不像我们的人相处是自我发展和社会化的重要组成部分。悲观并不总是坏事。一些研究人员认为，这实际上可能会让人们更快乐，更接近现实，因为如果他们考虑到最坏的结果可能会发生，他们会更有准备，更少失望)”可知，本段主要讲述了悲观情绪有时也不是坏事，要学会与不像我们的人相处，所以D项“Don’t be too quick to dismiss people due to their pessimism(不要因为别人的悲观情绪而过早地解雇他们)”符合本段主题，为本段中心句。故选D项。 【20题详解】 设空位于段尾，应是对前文的总结，根据前文“You may need to spend time apart from this person or distance yourself. Setting boundaries on what you discuss with the person and how long you bathe in her influence can be useful ways of overcoming your dislike of being in her presence. Of course, do not just ignore her.(你可能需要暂时疏远这个人，或保持适当距离。可以设定一些界限，比如限制彼此的聊天话题、控制与她相处的时间——这能有效减轻你对她的抵触情绪。当然，不要直接冷落对方)”可知，E项“That would be considered passive-aggressive communication(那会被视为一种消极攻击的沟通方式)”是对前文冷落对方的解释，符合文意。故选E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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 One cold winter day, Don, in search of cans and bottles to exchange for some money, wandered into Watson’s café.

He couldn’t figure out what the use of learning to swim was. But Harry’s parents believed it was a great pity for a healthy boy to be afraid of the wind and the sea. “Everybody, especially every Englishman and boy, should know how to swim,” Papa had said. “There is never any knowing the use it may be of.” “Isn’t it very hard to learn?” Harry asked. “It takes some patience,” his father said. “But in three weeks or so, you should be able to swim fairly well, if you have a lesson every day.” There was no escaping it, however. Papa, though very kind, was very firm, and once he said a thing, it had to be done. So with a rather white face, poor Harry set off every day for his swimming lesson. He was a quick and clever boy, and a strong boy, and his father knew this. After the initial fear was overcome, it went on better and faster than could have been expected. Two weeks later, Harry had the pleasure of hearing his father say to his mother, “He swims already very nearly as well as I do myself.” Seacliff, the place at which the family was spending the summer, was not a fashionable watering place but a little village. There were a few gentlemen’s houses in the neighborhood, so that in fine weather merry groups met at the little sheltered bay among the rocks. One day, Harry, having finished his own morning swim, set off to walk home at his ease. Suddenly a sound disturbed his pleasant thoughts. A carriage was rushing wildly along, coming nearer and nearer. The driver, Ann, stood upright in the carriage (马车), hitting the poor horse as if she were mad, while from time to time she screamed, “Help, help!” “What is it?” screamed Harry too, as Ann passed. She would not stop, but she threw back some words through the wind. “My sister—Alice—is drowning (淹溺). Go to the village to fetch someone who can swim.” 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Harry ran back to the bathing place at once. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ There were plenty of hands to help carry them to land once they were within a safe distance; however, it was Harry who was the true hero. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Harry ran back to the bathing place at once. He had scarcely reached the place when he spotted a girl struggling in the water. The situation was so dangerous and urgent that there was no time to waste. Although Harry was nervous and anxious, he set his teeth and dived into the water with fierce determination. With attentive strokes, he quickly approached the girl and reached out to grab her arm. Knowing the importance of haste, Harry used all his strength to pull her through the water, focusing solely on her rescue. There were plenty of hands to help carry them to land once they were within a safe distance; however, it was Harry who was the true hero. Thunderous applause erupted, acknowledging Harry’s bravery and selflessness. A sense of pride surged within Harry as he realized that without his prior swimming experience and the confidence it had instilled in him, he might not have been able to save the girl, which was the ultimate reward. From that moment on, Harry never questioned the value of swimming skills and continued to improve them, cherishing the preciousness of life. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Harry不想学游泳，他不明白学游泳有什么用，但Harry的父母认为，一个健康的男孩害怕风和海是一件很可惜的事，在父母的坚持下，Harry学会了游泳，当他们在Seacliff避暑时，Harry遇到Ann，Ann说她的妹妹爱丽丝快要淹死了，她要去村里找个会游泳的人来。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Harry立刻跑回海滨浴场。”可知，第一段可描写Harry如何救Ann。 ②由第二段首句内容“一旦他们到了安全的距离，就会有很多人帮助他们上岸；然而，Harry才是真正的英雄。”可知，第二段可描写Harry受到人们的赞赏并且意识到游泳的价值。 2.续写线索：到达Ann溺水的地方——Harry奋力救人——抓住Ann——把Ann从水里拉出——人们鼓掌——Harry自豪——Harry意识到游泳的价值 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①跳进水里：dive into the water/jump into the water ②抓住：grab/seize ③涌起：surge/uprush 情绪类 ①紧张：nervous/strained ②急切：anxious/eager 【点睛】[高分句型1] The situation was so dangerous and urgent that there was no time to waste.

What better place is there to chill than at the beach? When you’re on a budget, you can easily plan an inexpensive vacation to a super shoreline. Oceanside, California Oceanside was once a less desirable area to visit. But the city has made an effort to invest in tourism. Visitors can stay at The Brick Hotel at less than $250 a night for two people. Low-cost activities include surfing, fishing, riding bikes, and visiting the California Surf Museum. Martinique The French island of Martinique faces the calm Caribbean Sea and the more active Atlantic Ocean, with sandy beaches along the southern coast. Served by both major and cheap airlines, this destination’s delicious Creole cuisine and less touristy atmosphere attract numerous visitors. Martinique also boasts highly regarded rum wine, excellent hiking sites and a variety of festivals. Waikiki, Hawaii While oceanfront hotels on Waikiki Beach can cost over $400 a night, just a few blocks away, visitors can stay at affordable hotels for less than $150 a night. There are many budget-friendly activities, such as relaxing at the beach, hiking Diamond Head, visiting the Waikiki Marine Life Museum, and biking around town. Myrtle Beach, South Carolina With warm temperatures year-round, Myrtle Beach offers tons of outdoor activities, such as golf, fishing, and other water sports. Broadway at the Beach and Barefoot Landing offer free live entertainment, kids’ activities, and fireworks during the summer. Some hotels even offer barbecue facilities.

Luxurious activities. D. Convenient transport. B I never thought I’d work in a jewelry store. I didn’t even wear a watch. But as a teenager needing money, and with the store short-staffed during the holiday rush, I took the job despite my inexperience. My disinterest showed in my sales. The only thing I was good at was selling a nice aftershave (刮胡水) called British Sterling. I told women buying it for their partners that they were really buying it for themselves. If it made them happy, it was the right choice. One busy evening, the store was packed with customers, mostly men, looking for last-minute gifts. We focused on showing them the pricier items. About half an hour before closing, a young girl approached me, looking worried. She wanted a special gift for her mom, but she only had $6. We had some affordable earrings, so I showed her a few pairs. The store was getting crowded, and my manager, George, kept giving me looks. Finally, she found a pair of earrings. Her eyes lit up. “These are perfect. My mom will love them,” she said. We quickly went to the register. The total was $4.98. As I bagged the earrings, her face shone with joy. I decided to wrap the gift in our fancy gold paper and tie a ribbon around it, making it look like a gift for the best mom ever. The girl left the store, beaming. George said to me, “We have customers ready to spend big, and you spent all this time on a $4.98 sale. You even gift-wrapped it, which is for purchases over $10.” Without missing a beat, I replied, “This girl understands the true spirit of giving. It’s not about the money; it’s about the thought and the heart put into the gift.” 4. Why was the author offered the job? A. The boss needed a helping hand. B. He wanted to support his family. C. He had great interest in jewellery. D. The boss valued his work experience. 5. What can be inferred from paragraph 2? A. Any gift for loved ones is good. B. People should buy gifts for their own liking. C. British Sterling is the best compared with other gifts. D. What matters is whether people’s loved ones like the gifts. 6. How did George react to the author’s wrapping the earrings? A. Supportive. B. Ashamed. C. Unconcerned. D. Annoyed. 7. What did the author find in the girl? A. The joy of experience. B. The value of giving. C. The necessity of support. D. The importance of family. C Not long ago, Uganda used to be home to both the black and northern white rhinos (犀牛). But by the early 1980s, due to illegal hunting and trade, and political instability, native populations — once thought to number around 700 — were wiped out. More than a decade later, an initiative to bring back the majestic animals was born, with newly formed charity Rhino Fund Uganda approaching Captain Charles Roy, former pilot and owner of Ziwa cattle ranch (农场), which they had targeted as ideal rhino habitat, with the idea that he should move the herds of cattle out, and rhino in. Roy agreed. In 2005 and 2006, six southern white rhinos were relocated to the ranch. The result is a big success: the rhino population at Ziwa is now eight times the original number, with five born in the last three months. Wendy Roy, daughter of Captain Roy, has since taken over some of Ziwa’s management. Brought up between the UK and Uganda, she admits that she was not born a conservationist, but now, as she gets more involved, she is starting to see the magic in it. “Sometimes in the evenings, when I see the rhinos coming near, I think, ‘Wow, this looks like the Garden of Eden,’” she says. “It’s incredible: not just rhinos but zebras, antelopes, waterbucks. It’s peaceful.” Roy believes this calm setting is one of the secrets to Ziwa’s success. Also key are the rangers who provide 24/7 protection. This stops those seeking rhino horns for the illegal wildlife trade, and it allows rangers to monitor rhino behavior, gathering detailed data that can be used to inform rhino conservation globally. It has always been Ziwa’s central mission to raise the number of rhinos so that they can be moved from Ziwa to other national parks across the country. If the move is successful, the benefits could be significant. This will not only help to enhance biodiversity, but boost Uganda’s wildlife tourism. 8. What caused rhinos’ distinction in Uganda by the 1980s? A. Human activities. B. Food shortages. C. Disease outbreaks. D. Climate changes. 9. How many rhinos are there at Ziwa cattle ranch now? A. 700. B. 6. C. 48. D. 43. 10. What contributes to Ziwa Ranch’s success in rhino conservation? A. Constant protection. B. Wendy Roy’s leadership. C. Behavior data collection. D. Laws against illegal trade. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. History of Ziwa Cattle Ranch B. Restoring Rhinos in Uganda C. Rise of Uganda’s Wildlife Tourism D. Challenges of Moving Rhinos D For so long, busyness has become part of who we are. To be busy is to be productive, and to be productive is to be successful. We tend to think having a jam-packed calendar and flying through life at a fast speed are an effective marker of how well we are doing. But a lot of the people who live like this are not actually doing all that well. They are exhausted and overwhelmed. To tackle this, we have to slow down. In recent times, there has been a push-back against busyness. More people are trying to find more time for themselves, and say “no” to more invites. “Slow living” enthusiasts will tell you life is better when you’re not moving so quickly. They say taking tasks one at a time, never rushing or over-filling your diary gives you the space to appreciate things as they happen. To my thinking, slow living is all about being conscious of the here-and-now, making considered decisions about how to spend your time, and enjoying the little things in life, which benefits you both physically and mentally. For those living with chronic (慢性的) illness, slow living can be a lifeline. Hannah Hoskins suffers from severe muscle pain, and some days she only has the energy to sit up for ten minutes. “Slow living saved my life. It tells you that productivity isn’t the end goal and that as humans we need to be able to have full lives rather than working nonstop. Realizing it’s literally impossible to ‘do it all’ sets you free to decide if you actually want to do all the things you are doing.” Hannah says that her tip for anyone trying to practice slow living is to start small. “Say ‘no’ to that thing you feel you should do, but actually fear,” she suggests. “When you realize that the world doesn’t end and people don’t hate you if you say no to things, try it again and then just keep going. The more you ask yourself — Is this something I really want to do or am I doing it because I feel I should? — it becomes much easier to just stop doing things you don’t enjoy.” 12.

He couldn’t figure out what the use of learning to swim was. But Harry’s parents believed it was a great pity for a healthy boy to be afraid of the wind and the sea. “Everybody especially every Englishman and boy, should know how to swim,” Papa had said. “There is never any knowing the use it may be of.” “Isn’t it very hard to learn?” Harry asked. “It takes some patience,” his father said. “But in three weeks or so, you should be able to swim fairly well, if you have a lesson every day.” There was no escaping it, however. Papa, though very kind, was very firm, and once he said a thing, it had to be done. So with a rather white face, poor Harry set off every day for his swimming lesson. He was a quick and clever boy, and a strong boy, and his father knew this. After the initial fear was overcome, it went on better and faster than could have been expected. Two weeks later, Harry had the pleasure of hearing his father say to his mother, “He swims already very nearly as well as I do myself.” Seacliff, the place at which the family was spending the summer, was not a fashionable watering place but a little village. There were a few gentlemen’s houses in the neighborhood, so that in fine weather merry groups met at the little sheltered bay among the rocks. One day, Harry, having finished his own morning swim, set off to walk home at his ease. Suddenly a sound disturbed his pleasant thoughts. A carriage was rushing wildly along, coming nearer and nearer. The driver, Ann, stood upright in the carriage (马车), hitting the poor horse as if she were mad, while from time to time she screamed, “Help, help!” “What is it?” screamed Harry too, as Ann passed. She would not stop, but she threw back some words through the wind. “My sister—Alice—is drowning (淹溺). Go to the village to fetch someone who can swim.” 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Harry ran back to the bathing place at once. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ There were plenty of hands to help carry them to land once they were within a safe distance; however, it was Harry who was the true hero. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
