Dance Dance Revolution (DDR) is a fun way to work out. Simply stand on a platform and hit the coloured targets with your feet as you follow the instructions on the screen. You score points by hitting the right target at the right time. As the tagline (标语) says, “Taking dancing to a whole new level!” For a gentler form of exercise, try the “Wii Fit” series of games. You can do yoga, strength training and so on when standing on a balance board. Personalise your workout, or exercise with a friend, competing in games! Anti-shoes Anti-shoes are designed to exercise parts of your body while you’re walking. They’re meant to improve your figure, and strengthen your leg and back muscles. The shoes were invented by Swiss engineer Karl Maller. He discovered that the Kenyan Masai tribespeople (who often walk barefoot) don’t suffer from back pain and are famous for their perfect figure. So, he decided that the answer was a shoe with a curved sole (弯曲的鞋底). Walking on this type of shoe is similar to the rocking move of a foot walking on soft sand or grass. Zumba Zumba is a fun form of exercise. As their tagline says, “Drop the workout, join the party!” Zumba is a Latin-inspired fitness dance programme that uses hip-hop, samba, martial arts and belly dance moves to get you in shape. It was created by accident when a trainer forgot his exercise CD and used his own samba music instead. There are lots of different types of classes for all levels, including “Zumbatomic” for children aged 4 to 12, “Zumba Gold” for older participants, and “Aqua Zumba” among many others. 1. If you want to reduce your back pain, you can choose ________. A. DDR B. Wii Fit C. Anti-shoes D. Zumba 2. What can we learn from the passage? A. You can play “Wii Fit” games on a platform. B. Zumba is too difficult for the elderly to dance. C. Playing games also has good effects on health. D. Zumba is a combination of many types of dance. 3. The target readers of the passage are those who ________. A. are interested in hiking B. like trying new kinds of exercise C. like playing video games D. want to improve dancing skills 【答案】1. C 2. D 3. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了Exergaming、Anti-shoes和Zumba这三种新型锻炼方式的相关信息。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Anti-shoes部分的“The shoes were invented by Swiss engineer Karl Maller. He discovered that the Kenyan Masai tribespeople (who often walk barefoot) don’t suffer from back pain and are famous for their perfect figure.So, he decided that the answer was a shoe with a curved sole (弯曲的鞋底). Walking on this type of shoe is similar to the rocking move of a foot walking on soft sand or grass.”（这种鞋是由瑞士工程师卡尔·马勒发明的。他发现肯尼亚马赛部落的人（经常赤脚行走）不会背痛，而且以完美的身材而闻名。于是，他决定设计一款弯曲鞋底的鞋子。穿这种鞋走路就像脚在柔软的沙滩或草地上行走时的一样。）可知，Anti-shoes可以减少背部疼痛。故选C项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Zumba部分“Zumba is a Latin-inspired fitness dance programme that uses hip-hop, samba, martial arts and belly dance moves to get you in shape.”（Zumba是一个受拉丁语启发的健身舞蹈项目，它使用嘻哈、桑巴舞、武术和肚皮舞来让你保持身材。）可知，Zumba是许多舞蹈类型的结合。故选D项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据Exergaming部分“Exergaming is made up of exercise with video games.”（Exercgaming由运动和电子游戏组成。）、Anti-shoes部分“Anti-shoes are designed to exercise parts of your body while you’re walking.”（Anti-shoes是为了在走路时锻炼身体的某个部位而设计的。）及Zumba部分“Zumba is a fun form of exercise.”（Zumba是一种有趣的锻炼方式。）可知，本文介绍了三种新型的锻炼方式。由此推知，本文的目标读者是一些想要尝试新型运动的人。故选B项。 B I was surprised to find the congestion (拥塞) outside Layla’s primary school was unusually absent—I’d driven right into a parking space, and I was on time, for once. The school bell rang, and in a moment a stream of children made their way through the gate. But something was different—the kids were piling into vehicles in threes and fours. Before I could enquire my daughter Layla, Mr Trent, the deputy head, approached. “Mrs Pavis, did you not read our letter?” Letter? What letter? I had a history of not looking out for them, and not reading them in most cases. “The letter? Of course. It must have just slipped my mind—I’ve been away with work.” Now I was digging around in Layla’s messy schoolbag at home. Eventually, I found several letters, all addressing the same topic—parking outside the school gates. Apparently with some parents parking illegally, the police were about to get involved. “Why didn’t you give me these letters?” I demanded. Layla shrugged. “I forgot.” I was about to launch into a severe lecture when it occurred to me that I had always forgotten—I had forgotten to give Layla her money for cookery that morning and forgotten to hang out the kids’ washed clothes. I contained myself and figured out that they wanted the parents to car-pool (拼车). I spent the next half hour ringing round Layla’s friends’ parents, enquiring if they would like to car-pool with us. Unfortunately, they were all sorted. It was my own fault—I should have read those letters ages ago. “Er... I overheard others talking about it,” Layla said, “They said they didn’t know who would car-pool with us, because we’re always late.” I flushed instantly. We were a disorganised family, and I was the one to blame. I resolved to change. With responsibility for my kids, I find I am never, ever late. It’s good for Layla and for her older brothers, and it’s good for me, because now I never leave the house unprepared. I’ve even started checking the kids’ schoolbags for notes from school. 4. What did the author notice when the school was over? A. It was hard to find a parking space. B. Children were picked up in groups. C. Her daughter was absent from class. D. She arrived much earlier than others. 5. What stopped the author criticizing her daughter? A. The reflection of her daily routine. B. The realization of her carelessness. C. The knowledge of her kid’s character. D. The awareness of her kid’s depression. 6. Why did others refuse to car-pool with them according to Layla? A. Because they contacted them late. B. Because they failed to keep the house tidy. C. Because they couldn’t be on time. D. Because they ignored the school’s request. 7. What can we learn from the passage? A. Action creates motivation. B. Mother’s love never changes. C. It’s never too late to mend. D. Patience is the key to success. 【答案】4. B 5. B 6. C 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在参与孩子的学校生活中，发现自己粗心大意，并且因为迟到，其他家长拒绝和自己拼车，于是作者决心改变，承担起对孩子的责任，再也没有迟到过。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The school bell rang, and in a moment a stream of children made their way through the gate. But something was different—the kids were piling into vehicles in threes and fours.(学校的铃响了，不一会儿，一群孩子从大门进来了。但有些不同——孩子们三三两四地挤进了车里)”可知，放学后作者注意到了孩子们被成群地接走。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“I was about to launch into a severe lecture when it occurred to me that I had always forgotten—I had forgotten to give Layla her money for cookery that morning and forgotten to hang out the kids’ washed clothes.(我正准备严厉地训斥一顿，突然想到我总是忘记——那天早上我忘了给莱拉做饭的钱，也忘了把孩子们洗好的衣服晾在外面)”可知，意识到自己的粗心大意阻止了作者批评她的女儿。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段““Er... I overheard others talking about it,” Layla said, “They said they didn’t know who would car-pool with us, because we’re always late.”(“呃……“我无意中听到别人在谈论这件事，”莱拉说，“他们说他们不知道谁会和我们拼车，因为我们总是迟到。”)”可知，根据Layla的说法，其他人拒绝与他们拼车是因为他们不能准时。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“I resolved to change. With responsibility for my kids, I find I am never, ever late. It’s good for Layla and for her older brothers, and it’s good for me, because now I never leave the house unprepared. I’ve even started checking the kids’ schoolbags for notes from school.(我决心改变。有了对孩子的责任，我发现我从来没有迟到过。这对莱拉和她的哥哥们都有好处，对我也有好处，因为现在我再也不会毫无准备地出门了。我甚至开始检查孩子们的书包里有没有学校的笔记)”结合文章主要讲述了作者在参与孩子的学校生活中，发现自己粗心大意，并且因为迟到，其他家长拒绝和自己拼车，于是作者决心改变，承担起对孩子的责任，再也没有迟到过。可推知，文章告诉我们“亡羊补牢，犹未晚也”的道理。故选C。 C If you’re over FOMO—or you were never into it in the first place, you’ll be happy to hear that JOMO is now a thing. JOMO is that feeling you get when someone cancels an event you don’t want to go to—but feel like you “should”, or when you’re unexpectedly in a place without WiFi and you pull out your book to settle in to read guilt-free. It’s the relief of having time to yourself. But while some of us have always appreciated JOMO, it may be catching on with former FOMOers, too. According to surveys, more people than ever are looking to get away from the overwhelming pressure and anxiety caused by the social media—for real. FOMO came about during the rise of social media, when scrolling through your Instagram or Facebook feeds seemed to show that everyone you knew was out doing something fun—except you. It got so bad that some people would be out with their friends, and would check in to see what everyone else was doing, and to see if it was a better time elsewhere. Living with FOMO, clearly, isn’t a healthy way to be. It led to a culture where even regular people were only posting their highlights—and the rest of us took them as their whole life. Like any trend, FOMO seems already a relic of the past decade, a time when we valued how many likes our pictures got, and we spent more time taking and posting shots of ourselves than being in the moment. JOMO doesn’t mean you quit enjoyıng your time out with friends, or stop sharing your happy moments, but it is about valuing the here and now first. JOMO allows us to appreciate human connections and to give ourselves “tech-free breaks”. If that sounds good, but you find yourself scrolling and feeling crummy anyway, you might have to get offline for a bit to break or at least weaken your habit. 8. What does JOMO stand for probably? A. Joy of marking out. B. Joy of making out. C. Joy of moving out. D. Joy of missing out. 9. What can we infer about people living with FOMO? A. They like social media. B. They value the present time. C. They always do something fun. D. They appreciate human connections. 10. What does the underlined word “crummy” probably mean? A. Tired. B. Terrible. C. Interested. D. Thrilled. 11. What message can we get from the passage? A. People can benefit from feeling crummy. B. We should give ourselves “screen-free time”. C We’d better stop using Instagram or Facebook. D. It’s good to kick the habit of posting private photos. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了JOMO（错过的快乐）的含义，以及与FOMO（害怕错过）的对比，还提到了摆脱FOMO、享受JOMO的方法。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“JOMO is that feeling you get when someone cancels an event you don’t want to go to — but feel like you “should”, or when you’re unexpectedly in a place without WiFi and you pull out your book to settle in to read guilt-free. It’s the relief of having time to yourself. (JOMO是当有人取消了你本不想去但觉得“应该”去的活动时，或者当你意外处于没有WiFi的地方并拿出书安心阅读时的那种感觉，是拥有属于自己时间的解脱)”推知，JOMO代表的是“错过的快乐（Joy of missing out）”。故选D项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“FOMO came about during the rise of social media, when scrolling through your Instagram or Facebook feeds seemed to show that everyone you knew was out doing something fun — except you. It got so bad that some people would be out with their friends, and would check in to see what everyone else was doing, and to see if it was a better time elsewhere. (FOMO出现在社交媒体兴起的时候，当浏览Instagram或Facebook动态时，似乎你认识的每个人都在外面做有趣的事情，除了你。情况变得如此糟糕，以至于有些人和朋友在一起时，也会查看其他人在做什么，看看其他地方是否更有趣)”可推知，患有FOMO的人喜欢社交媒体。故选A项。 【10题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线词前面的“If that sounds good, but you find yourself scrolling (如果这听起来不错，但你发现自己在浏览社交媒体)”以及后面的“you might have to get offline for a bit to break or at least weaken your habit (你可能需要暂时离线，打破或至少削弱这种习惯)”可知，浏览社交媒体感觉不好，所以才需要离线，由此可推测出“crummy”意为“糟糕的”。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“If that sounds good, but you find yourself scrolling and feeling crummy anyway, you might have to get offline for a bit to break or at least weaken your habit. (如果你发现自己浏览社交媒体并感觉糟糕，你可能需要暂时离线，打破或至少削弱这种习惯)”再结合前文对JOMO（错过的快乐）的描述，可推断出我们应该给自己“无屏幕时间”。故选B项。 D “Nurse refuses to perform CPR and lets an elderly woman die at a nursing house in California!” read the headline of an ABC news report several days ago. Later, it turned out that the elderly woman had wished to die naturally. Then why did the woman refuse CPR? It is necessary for us to know what CPR can, and can’t, do. The discovery that CPR could save life was first reported in 1878, from experiments on cats. It wasn’t until 1959 that researchers at Johns Hopkins applied the method to humans. The excitement at its simplicity was clear: “Anyone, anywhere, can now do CPR,” the researchers wrote. “All that is needed is two hands.” In the 1970s, CPR classes were developed for flight attendants, coaches, and babysitters are now often required to study CPR. But most people learn what they know about CPR from television. In 2015, researchers found that survival after CPR on TV was 70%. In real life, people similarly believe that survival after CPR is over 75%. This may explain the attitude that everyone should know CPR, and that everyone who experiences heart attack should receive it. However, it cannot be further from truth. In 2010, a review of 79 studies, involving almost 150,000 patients, found that the average rate of survival from out-of-hospital heart attack had barely changed in thirty years. It was 7.6%. On-site CPR may increase those chances to 10%. Survival after CPR for in-hospital heart attack is slightly better, but still only about 17%. The numbers get even worse with age. A study in Sweden found that survival after out-of-hospital CPR dropped from 6.7% for patients in their 70s to just 2.4% for those over 90. The harm, as it turns out, can be very serious. Broken bones are the most common problem, but the procedure can also cause lung and liver damage. The biggest problem is brain injury. When the heart stops, the brain begins to die within minutes. So about 30% of survivors will have significant mental disability. The side effects of CPR may be why as many as half of patients who survive wish they hadn’t received it. 12. About one hundred years after the discovery of CPR, ________ A it started to be applied to humans. B. it was popularized in some professions. C. it became a necessary qualification for babysitters. D. it was perfected by researchers at Johns Hopkins. 13. Which aspect of CPR does the fourth paragraph focus on? A. The failed cases. B. Its real effects. C. Its important functions. D. The misunderstanding. 14. What did the 2010 study find about CPR? A. The public was unwilling to accept it. B. It had much better effects on the elderly. C. The average rate of survival remained low. D. It had to be carried out on time by professionals. 15. Which title best fits the text? A. CPR: A Must-Learn Skill for everyone. B. How to Perform CPR properly. C. Nurse Refused CPR—Elderly Chose Natural Death. D. The High Price of CPR for the Elderly. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。通过“加利福尼亚一家养老院的护士拒绝实施心肺复苏术，导致一名老年妇女死亡！”引出对心肺复苏术（CPR）的讨论，阐述了 CPR 的发现、应用推广情况，纠正了人们对其效果的误解，并说明其实际生存率低及可能带来的危害。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The discovery that CPR could save life was first reported in 1878, from experiments on cats. It wasn’t until 1959 that researchers at Johns Hopkins applied the method to humans. The excitement at its simplicity was clear: “Anyone, anywhere, can now do CPR,” the researchers wrote. “All that is needed is two hands.” In the 1970s, CPR classes were developed for flight attendants, coaches, and babysitters are now often required to study CPR.R.(心肺复苏术可以挽救生命的发现最早是在1878年在猫身上进行的实验中发现的。直到1959年，约翰霍普金斯大学的研究人员才将这种方法应用于人类。研究人员写道：“现在任何人，任何地方都可以做心肺复苏术。”“只需要两只手。”在20世纪70年代，为空乘人员开设了心肺复苏术课程，教练和保姆现在经常被要求学习心肺复苏术)”可推断，大约在CPR被发现一百年后，有些行业开始普及这一急救手段。故选B。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“But most people learn what they know about CPR from television. In 2015, researchers found that survival after CPR on TV was 70%. In real life, people similarly believe that survival after CPR is over 75%. This may explain the attitude that everyone should know CPR, and that everyone who experiences heart attack should receive it.(但大多数人是从电视上了解心肺复苏术的。2015年，研究人员发现，电视上心肺复苏后的存活率为70%。在现实生活中，人们同样认为心肺复苏术后的存活率超过75%。这也许可以解释每个人都应该知道心肺复苏术，每个经历心脏病发作的人都应该接受它的态度)”和第五段“However, it cannot be further from truth.(然而，这与事实相去甚远)”可知，第四段中作者主要是聚焦于公众对CPR的错误认知及其根源：电视不合实际的宣传。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“In 2010, a review of 79 studies, involving almost 150, 000 patients, found that the average rate of survival from out-of-hospital heart attack had barely changed in thirty years. It was 7.6%. (2010年，一项涉及近15万患者的79项研究的综述发现，院外心脏病发作的平均存活率在30年里几乎没有变化。是7.6%)”可知，2010年关于心肺复苏术的研究发现平均存活率仍然很低。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，并根据第一段““Nurse refuses to perform CPR and lets an elderly woman die at a nursing house in California!” read the headline of an ABC news report several days ago. Later, it turned out that the elderly woman had wished to die naturally.( 几天前，美国广播公司（ABC）一则新闻报道的标题写道：“护士拒绝实施心肺复苏术，加州一养老院老年女性死亡！”。后来发现，这位老年女性本就希望自然离世)”可知，文章通过“加利福尼亚一家养老院的护士拒绝实施心肺复苏术，导致一名老年妇女死亡！”引出对心肺复苏术（CPR）的讨论，阐述了 CPR 的发现、应用推广情况，纠正了人们对其效果的误解，并说明其实际生存率低及可能带来的危害。所以短文的标题为“护士拒绝心肺复苏术 —— 老人选择自然死亡”为最佳标题。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。其中有两项为多余选项。 Have you ever found yourself in a tricky situation where someone is acting wrongly? ___16___, but the fear of making matters worse holds you back. It’s a common problem we all face. Here are four useful tips to help you correct others nicely and gain their respect. First, stay calm when you correct someone. How you say things matters more than what you say. We often use our feelings to show we’re disappointed. ___17___. For example, would you listen to someone who’s shouting at you, or someone who’s calm? We’re all sensitive. If you’re emotional when you correct someone, they might get defensive. Second, focus on facts rather than opinions. Instead of saying someone is bad at something, tell them what you’ve seen them do. ___18___. Say “I saw three reports left on the desk”. This way, you’re not attacking them. It gives them a chance to explain, and it helps you have a more productive conversation. Third, correct people in private. ___19___. If you do, it might hurt their feelings and damage your relationship. Also, others might think less of you. Correcting someone in public can make you seem like a weak leader. Fourth, use the “sandwich” way. Start by saying something good about the person. Then, tell them what they need to change. End by saying something positive again. For example, “You did a great job on that project. But we need to be more careful with the numbers. I know you can do better next time”. ___20___. By following these tips, you can correct others in a better way. You’ll build better relationships and achieve better results. A. But this usually doesn’t work well B. This makes the correction easier to take C. For example, don’t say “You’re so careless” D. You might be eager to step in and set things right E. Opinions can sometimes be misleading and hurtful F. It’s better to just ignore the small mistakes of others G. Don’t do it in front of their friends or your workmates 【答案】16. D 17. A 18. C 19. G 20. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过四个实用技巧（保持冷静、关注事实、私下纠正、三明治法），提供了有效纠正他人错误的方法，以维护关系并获得尊重。 【16题详解】 根据前文“Have you ever found yourself in a tricky situation where someone is acting wrongly?(你有没有发现自己处于有人行为错误的棘手情况？)”以及下文“Here are four useful tips to help you correct others nicely and gain their respect.(这里有四个有用的建议，可以帮助你很好地纠正别人，赢得他们的尊重。)”可推知，此处指发现别人行为错误，想要纠正别人的错误，与空后“but the fear of making matters worse holds you back(但害怕把事情弄得更糟的恐惧会让你退缩)”构成转折关系，选项D“You might be eager to step in and set things right(你可能急于介入纠正)”符合语境。故选D。 【17题详解】 根据上文“We often use our feelings to show we’re disappointed (我们经常用情绪表达失望)”及下文“For example, would you listen to someone who’s shouting at you, or someone who’s calm? We’re all sensitive. If you’re emotional when you correct someone, they might get defensive.(例如，你会听一个对你大喊大叫的人，还是听一个冷静的人？我们都很敏感。如果你在纠正别人的时候情绪激动，他们可能会有抵触情绪)”可知，前文提到我们常用情绪表达失望，后文通过一个问题“会听一个对你大喊大叫的人，还是听一个冷静的人”为例说明情绪化方式的负面影响。由此推断此处指情绪化表达失望这一方式不起作用，选项A“But this usually doesn’t work well (但这种方法通常效果不佳)”符合语境，“this”指代上文中“use our feelings to show we’re disappointed”。故选A。 【18题详解】 上文“focus on facts rather than opinions. Instead of saying someone is bad at something, tell them what you’ve seen them do. (关注事实而不是观点。与其说别人不擅长某件事，不如告诉他们你见过他们做过什么。)”强调要关注事实避免主观评价；选项C“For example, don’t say ‘You’re so careless (例如，不要说‘你太粗心了’)”以及下文“Say “I saw three reports left on the desk”(说‘我看到桌子上还留有三份报告’)”通过举例说明不要运用主观观点式批评，而是要运用陈述事实性的表达，符合语境。故选C。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Third, correct people in private. (第三，私下里纠正别人。)”指出要私下纠正别人错误；后文“If you do, it might hurt their feelings and damage your relationship. Also, others might think less of you.(如果你这样做，可能会伤害他们的感情，破坏你们的关系。另外，别人可能会看轻你。)”陈述了公开纠正他人会产生的后果，选项G“Don’t do it in front of their friends or your workmates(不要当着他们的朋友或同事的面做)”呼应“私下纠正”的建议，符合语境，下文中“you do”指代选项中的“do it in front of their friends or your workmates”。故选G。 【20题详解】 上文“use the “sandwich” way. Start by saying something good about the person. Then, tell them what they need to change. End by saying something positive again. For example, “You did a great job on that project. But we need to be more careful with the numbers. I know you can do better next time”.(用‘三明治’的方式。从说对方的好话开始。然后，告诉他们需要改变什么。最后再次说些积极的话。例如，‘你在那个项目上做得很好。但我们需要更加小心这些数字。我知道你下次可以做得更好。’)”建议“三明治法”，并通过举例来阐述如何使用“表扬——纠正——表扬”这一“三明治法”；选项B“This makes the correction easier to take(这让纠正更容易被接受)”承接上文，阐述“三明治法”的优势，符合语境。故选B。 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。 I’ve been in an 18-year love-hate ____21____ with a black walnut tree in my backyard. In summer, they provide great shade. But in late September or early October, falling fruits as hard as baseballs ____22____ your head.

Get prepared for it next week!” “Is it a reading contest?” I was so excited that I forgot to raise my hand first. “Good question, John!” said Ms. Chow. “It is not a race and you are not going to beat each other. We are not going to see who can read the fastest or the most books, but you are going to form a team of three and then set a reading goal for your team. If your team meet your goal by the end of this month, you will get a prize!” Even though the prize was something silly, that still sounded pretty good to me. I turned towards William immediately, saying,“Shall we be teammates?” “Yes, for sure!” he said. William and I liked a lot of the same books, so we could set a goal together. The be1l rang before Ms. Chow could explain any more rules. William and I were about to begin our discussion when Lily passed my desk and said “Teammates?” to William and me. Lily was a girl from Spain and she could read super-fast in both English and Spanish! If we set a goal like reading books by authors from different countries, she could help the team for sure. “Yeah,of course!” William and I nodded. I had my team! The three of us settled down and started a discussion immediately, trying to figure out what we needed to do to get the prize. Just then, I saw my best friend Tom running towards my desk. I could clearly see the expectation shining in his eyes. 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右; 2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 “John, let’s be teammates!” Tom said to me excitedly. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hearing what Lily said, we agreed with her suggestion. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 “John, let’s be teammates!” Tom said to me excitedly. Hearing what Tom said, I bowed my head in embarrassment, not daring to meet his eyes because I didn’t know how to refuse him politely. He was my best friend and I didn’t want to ruin our friendship. William and Lily also fell into silence and had no idea how to deal with it. Suddenly, Lily said happily, “we can turn to Ms. Chow for help. If we really want to be a team, maybe she will grant our request. ” Hearing what Lily said, we agreed with her suggestion. So we approached Ms. Chow who was getting ready to leave the classroom. After hearing what we said, she finally agreed, but with one condition that we must set a higher reading goal for our team since we had four. We agreed happily. Finally, the problem was solved perfectly and nobody was heart-broken. I was firmly sure that we would complete our reading goal and win the prize. 【解析】 【导语】本文以读书比赛的活动线索展开，讲述了作者和两个小伙伴组队参加老师组织的读书比赛的活动，这时他最好的朋友也想加入他的队伍，但老师要求只能三人一组。就在作者为难之际，同伴提出了建议，最终完美地解决了组队的问题。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“‘约翰，我们做队友吧。’汤姆激动地对我说”可知，第一段可描写作者的尴尬和不知所措及女同学提出的建议。 ②由第二段首句内容“听完莉莉的话，我们同意了她的建议。”可知，第二段可描写我们采取的行动及最终解决了组队问题。 2.续写线索：组队友——问题——不知所措——提建议——解决问题——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.低头：bow my head/lower my head ②.破坏： ruin/destroy ③.拒绝：refuse politely/decline 情绪类 ①.开心地：happily/joyfully/delightfully ②.伤心的：heart-broken/grieved 【点睛】【高分句型1】So we approached Ms. Chow who was getting ready to leave the classroom.（运用了who引导的定语从句。） 【高分句型2】After hearing what we said, she finally agreed, but with one condition that we must set a higher reading goal for our team since we had four. （运用了that引导的同位语从句。） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 邢台一中2024—2025学年第二学期第四次月考 高二年级英语试题 考试范围：选择性必修1 注意事项：1.本试卷共12页，满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2.请将所有答案填涂到答题卡上，答在试卷上无效。 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。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.

And there are lots to choose from. Dance Dance Revolution (DDR) is a fun way to work out. Simply stand on a platform and hit the coloured targets with your feet as you follow the instructions on the screen. You score points by hitting the right target at the right time. As the tagline (标语) says, “Taking dancing to a whole new level!” For a gentler form of exercise, try the “Wii Fit” series of games. You can do yoga, strength training and so on when standing on a balance board. Personalise your workout, or exercise with a friend, competing in games! Anti-shoes Anti-shoes are designed to exercise parts of your body while you’re walking. They’re meant to improve your figure, and strengthen your leg and back muscles. The shoes were invented by Swiss engineer Karl Maller. He discovered that the Kenyan Masai tribespeople (who often walk barefoot) don’t suffer from back pain and are famous for their perfect figure. So, he decided that the answer was a shoe with a curved sole (弯曲的鞋底). Walking on this type of shoe is similar to the rocking move of a foot walking on soft sand or grass. Zumba Zumba is a fun form of exercise. As their tagline says, “Drop the workout, join the party!” Zumba is a Latin-inspired fitness dance programme that uses hip-hop, samba, martial arts and belly dance moves to get you in shape. It was created by accident when a trainer forgot his exercise CD and used his own samba music instead. There are lots of different types of classes for all levels, including “Zumbatomic” for children aged 4 to 12, “Zumba Gold” for older participants, and “Aqua Zumba” among many others. 1. If you want to reduce your back pain, you can choose ________. A. DDR B. Wii Fit C. Anti-shoes D. Zumba 2. What can we learn from the passage? A. You can play “Wii Fit” games on a platform. B. Zumba is too difficult for the elderly to dance. C. Playing games also has good effects on health. D. Zumba is a combination of many types of dance. 3. The target readers of the passage are those who ________. A. are interested in hiking B. like trying new kinds of exercise C. like playing video games D. want to improve dancing skills B I was surprised to find the congestion (拥塞) outside Layla’s primary school was unusually absent—I’d driven right into a parking space, and I was on time, for once. The school bell rang, and in a moment a stream of children made their way through the gate. But something was different—the kids were piling into vehicles in threes and fours. Before I could enquire my daughter Layla, Mr Trent, the deputy head, approached. “Mrs Pavis, did you not read our letter?” Letter? What letter? I had a history of not looking out for them, and not reading them in most cases. “The letter? Of course. It must have just slipped my mind—I’ve been away with work.” Now I was digging around in Layla’s messy schoolbag at home. Eventually, I found several letters, all addressing the same topic—parking outside the school gates. Apparently with some parents parking illegally, the police were about to get involved. “Why didn’t you give me these letters?” I demanded. Layla shrugged. “I forgot.” I was about to launch into a severe lecture when it occurred to me that I had always forgotten—I had forgotten to give Layla her money for cookery that morning and forgotten to hang out the kids’ washed clothes. I contained myself and figured out that they wanted the parents to car-pool (拼车). I spent the next half hour ringing round Layla’s friends’ parents, enquiring if they would like to car-pool with us. Unfortunately, they were all sorted. It was my own fault—I should have read those letters ages ago. “Er... I overheard others talking about it,” Layla said, “They said they didn’t know who would car-pool with us, because we’re always late.” I flushed instantly. We were a disorganised family, and I was the one to blame. I resolved to change. With responsibility for my kids, I find I am never, ever late. It’s good for Layla and for her older brothers, and it’s good for me, because now I never leave the house unprepared. I’ve even started checking the kids’ schoolbags for notes from school. 4. What did the author notice when the school was over? A. It was hard to find a parking space. B. Children were picked up in groups. C. Her daughter was absent from class. D. She arrived much earlier than others. 5. What stopped the author criticizing her daughter? A. The reflection of her daily routine. B. The realization of her carelessness. C. The knowledge of her kid’s character. D. The awareness of her kid’s depression. 6. Why did others refuse to car-pool with them according to Layla? A. Because they contacted them late. B. Because they failed to keep the house tidy. C. Because they couldn’t be on time. D. Because they ignored the school’s request. 7. What can we learn from the passage? A. Action creates motivation. B. Mother’s love never changes. C. It’s never too late to mend. D. Patience is the key to success. C If you’re over FOMO—or you were never into it in the first place, you’ll be happy to hear that JOMO is now a thing. JOMO is that feeling you get when someone cancels an event you don’t want to go to—but feel like you “should”, or when you’re unexpectedly in a place without WiFi and you pull out your book to settle in to read guilt-free. It’s the relief of having time to yourself. But while some of us have always appreciated JOMO, it may be catching on with former FOMOers, too. According to surveys, more people than ever are looking to get away from the overwhelming pressure and anxiety caused by the social media—for real. FOMO came about during the rise of social media, when scrolling through your Instagram or Facebook feeds seemed to show that everyone you knew was out doing something fun—except you. It got so bad that some people would be out with their friends, and would check in to see what everyone else was doing, and to see if it was a better time elsewhere. Living with FOMO, clearly, isn’t a healthy way to be. It led to a culture where even regular people were only posting their highlights—and the rest of us took them as their whole life. Like any trend, FOMO seems already a relic of the past decade, a time when we valued how many likes our pictures got, and we spent more time taking and posting shots of ourselves than being in the moment. JOMO doesn’t mean you quit enjoyıng your time out with friends, or stop sharing your happy moments, but it is about valuing the here and now first.

D “Nurse refuses to perform CPR and lets an elderly woman die at a nursing house in California!” read the headline of an ABC news report several days ago. Later it turned out that the elderly woman had wished to die naturally. Then why did the woman refuse CPR? It is necessary for us to know what CPR can, and can’t, do. The discovery that CPR could save life was first reported in 1878, from experiments on cats. It wasn’t until 1959 that researchers at Johns Hopkins applied the method to humans. The excitement at its simplicity was clear: “Anyone, anywhere, can now do CPR,” the researchers wrote. “All that is needed is two hands.” In the 1970s, CPR classes were developed for flight attendants, coaches, and babysitters are now often required to study CPR. But most people learn what they know about CPR from television. In 2015, researchers found that survival after CPR on TV was 70%. In real life, people similarly believe that survival after CPR is over 75%. This may explain the attitude that everyone should know CPR, and that everyone who experiences heart attack should receive it. However, it cannot be further from truth. In 2010, a review of 79 studies, involving almost 150,000 patients, found that the average rate of survival from out-of-hospital heart attack had barely changed in thirty years. It was 7.6%. On-site CPR may increase those chances to 10%. Survival after CPR for in-hospital heart attack is slightly better, but still only about 17%. The numbers get even worse with age. A study in Sweden found that survival after out-of-hospital CPR dropped from 6.7% for patients in their 70s to just 2.4% for those over 90. The harm, as it turns out, can be very serious. Broken bones are the most common problem, but the procedure can also cause lung and liver damage. The biggest problem is brain injury. When the heart stops, the brain begins to die within minutes. So about 30% of survivors will have significant mental disability. The side effects of CPR may be why as many as half of patients who survive wish they hadn’t received it. 12. About one hundred years after the discovery of CPR, ________ A. it started to be applied to humans. B. it was popularized in some professions. C. it became a necessary qualification for babysitters. D. it was perfected by researchers at Johns Hopkins. 13. Which aspect of CPR does the fourth paragraph focus on? A. The failed cases. B. Its real effects. C. Its important functions. D. The misunderstanding. 14. What did the 2010 study find about CPR? A. The public was unwilling to accept it. B. It had much better effects on the elderly. C. The average rate of survival remained low. D. It had to be carried out on time by professionals. 15. Which title best fits the text? A. CPR: A Must-Learn Skill for everyone. B. How to Perform CPR properly. C. Nurse Refused CPR—Elderly Chose Natural Death. D. The High Price of CPR for the Elderly. 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。其中有两项为多余选项。 Have you ever found yourself in a tricky situation where someone is acting wrongly? ___16___, but the fear of making matters worse holds you back. It’s a common problem we all face. Here are four useful tips to help you correct others nicely and gain their respect. First, stay calm when you correct someone. How you say things matters more than what you say. We often use our feelings to show we’re disappointed. ___17___. For example, would you listen to someone who’s shouting at you, or someone who’s calm? We’re all sensitive. If you’re emotional when you correct someone, they might get defensive. Second, focus on facts rather than opinions. Instead of saying someone is bad at something, tell them what you’ve seen them do. ___18___. Say “I saw three reports left on the desk”. This way, you’re not attacking them. It gives them a chance to explain, and it helps you have a more productive conversation. Third, correct people in private. ___19___. If you do, it might hurt their feelings and damage your relationship. Also, others might think less of you. Correcting someone in public can make you seem like a weak leader. Fourth, use the “sandwich” way. Start by saying something good about the person. Then, tell them what they need to change. End by saying something positive again. For example, “You did a great job on that project. But we need to be more careful with the numbers. I know you can do better next time”. ___20___. By following these tips, you can correct others in a better way. You’ll build better relationships and achieve better results. A. But this usually doesn’t work well B. This makes the correction easier to take C. For example, don’t say “You’re so careless” D. You might be eager to step in and set things right E. Opinions can sometimes be misleading and hurtful F.

Get prepared for it next week!” “Is it a reading contest?” I was so excited that I forgot to raise my hand first. “Good question, John!” said Ms. Chow. “It is not a race and you are not going to beat each other. We are not going to see who can read the fastest or the most books, but you are going to form a team of three and then set a reading goal for your team. If your team meet your goal by the end of this month, you will get a prize!” Even though the prize was something silly, that still sounded pretty good to me. I turned towards William immediately, saying,“Shall we be teammates?” “Yes, for sure!” he said. William and I liked a lot of the same books, so we could set a goal together. The be1l rang before Ms. Chow could explain any more rules. William and I were about to begin our discussion when Lily passed my desk and said “Teammates?” to William and me. Lily was a girl from Spain and she could read super-fast in both English and Spanish! If we set a goal like reading books by authors from different countries, she could help the team for sure. “Yeah,of course!” William and I nodded. I had my team! The three of us settled down and started a discussion immediately, trying to figure out what we needed to do to get the prize. Just then, I saw my best friend Tom running towards my desk. I could clearly see the expectation shining in his eyes. 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右; 2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 “John, let’s be teammates!” Tom said to me excitedly. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hearing what Lily said, we agreed with her suggestion. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
