I love IT, but a trip to the cinema means a fifty five minute boat journey plus a half hour drive to the nearest town. That's why we all get excited about the screen machine. It's a mobile cinema that travels around the Scottish islands. Sometimes we get to see the latest movies. You can't miss the huge bright blue screen machine. When IT comes into the car park, IT takes an hour to change IT into a comfortable, air conditioned AC cinema. It's amazing. I really admire the screen machines driver. Of course, he shows the movies, and there is always another person selling tickets. The salt in the sea air isn't good for the trucks, motors, so they also need a mechanic. Ticket Prices are very reasonable, so as soon as the screen machine arrives, the ticket office phone starts ringing. We can now also book in advance on the screen machine website, which makes IT even more convenient, and that's the way most people choose. No, it's an amazing service.

B The Miao Sisters Festival is held every year in Guizhou’s Taijiang County, where 97 percent of the 168,000 people there are from the ethnic (民族) Miao group.It is an ancient tradition, which brings men and women together through food, gifts and music. In the days before the festival, young women gather leaves and wild flowers, which they use to dye (给……染色) sticky rice with bright colours. This brightly coloured rice, known as Sister Rice, gives the festival its name. During the festival, the young women dress in beautiful traditional clothes with large amounts of silver jewelry. The festival includes parades, horse races and musical performances. But the real focus is the interaction between the young women and the young men who visit from surrounding villages and sing songs.In one traditional type of song, a man and woman take turns singing to each other, and the first one to make a mistake loses the game.The loser must give the winner a gift, but the winner is expected to give a gift in return too. After meeting the men, the women send them home with a bamboo basket containing dyed rice and hidden objects with special meanings. For example, a pair of chopsticks means she wants to marry the man, while garlic shows that she is not interested. One of several stories is about the festival’s beginning of a girl and a boy who fell in love. The girl’s parents wanted her to marry her uncle’s son as it was traditional at the time. She refused, and the boy likewise refused to marry anyone else. For a time, they could only meet in a field and pass hidden messages to each other through rice in a bamboo basket. Finally, the pair overcame their parents’ opposition and were allowed to marry. The Miao Sisters Festival is perhaps the oldest festival in Asia that encourages love. 24. What is the purpose of young women collecting leaves and wild flowers? A. To decorate their rooms. B. To sell them and make money. C. To give sticky rice different colours. D. To cover some objects in a basket. 25. Which of the following is NOT the activity taking place in the festival? A. Water skiing. B. Horse races. C. Parades. D. Singing songs. 26. What can we learn from the passage? A. A woman often loses the game. B. A hidden pair of chopsticks suggests good things. C. The winner need not send a gift. D. Often a man needs to sing songs to a young woman. 27. What does the story in Paragraph 5 tell us? A. The boy’s parents didn’t like the girl. B. They were not married in the end. C. The boy refused to marry the girl at first. D. The rice in the bamboo basket carried their love. C Children will become more and more independent and will do what they would like to do. However, as parents, you ought to take care of your own children and have a better understanding of them in the following cases. School work becomes increasingly difficult as children grow up. So this is a time when some kids begin to do better in their school work while others struggle to understand more advanced and more difficult lessons. When they get home, talk with them about their school lessons and find out what they don’t understand. It’s a chance for you to stay close with your children as before and get them to relax. For many families, homework can be a serious struggle. Many school-age kids are reluctant to sit down and study for a spelling test or complete their math homework. It’s natural for them to be bored with their homework, but you have to think of ways to help them form the right habit to finish their homework when they get home. Many kids are busy with sports, music, and after-school activities. Others, however, may prefer to spend too many hours on the screen. It’s important to keep kids active at this age. Friends become a bigger deal for children during this time too. Attending birthday parties or playing with kids on the playground can be good for their development. Bullying (恃强凌弱的行为) can become a problem around this age. It’s important to talk to your child about kindness and respect so he doesn’t become a bully and it’s also quite necessary for you to talk about what he can do if he becomes a target. 28. What would happen with school lessons getting more difficult? A. Children are divided in their school lessons. B. Children have more homework to do at home. C. Parents have more chances to show themselves. D. Parents find it more difficult to teach their children. 29. What does the underlined word “reluctant” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Excited. B. Worried. C. Unwilling. D. Interested. 30. What does the author advise school children to do? A. Spend more hours on the screen. B. Be active both mentally and physically. C. Organize parties at home and school. D. Bully other students at school. 31. Who are the intended readers of this text? A. Students. B. Teachers. C. Parents. D. Office workers. D A new study finds that less than seven percent of the adult population in the US have what health experts consider good cardiometabolic (心脏代谢) health. Using information on roughly 55,000 people over the age of 20, the results show just 6.8 percent of American adults reached optimal (最佳的) levels of health in 2018. Moreover, the study found American health has been in sharp decline over the last 20 years. In 1999, one in three adults had a healthy weight. By 2018, that number fell to just one in four Americans. At the same time, three in five people were free of diabetes in 1999. By 2018, however, more than six in ten adults had the condition! “These numbers are striking. It’s deeply problematic that in the United States, fewer than 1 in 15 adults have optimal cardiometabolic health,” says Meghan O’Hearn, one of the researchers from Tufts University. “We need a complete overhaul (革新) of our healthcare system, food system, and living conditions, because this is a crisis for everyone.” Instead of just looking for signs of disease, the team focused their study on the signs of good, moderate, and poor cardiometabolic health. “Disease is not the only problem,” O’Hearn explains. “We don’t just want to be free of disease. We want to achieve optimal health and well-being.” Researchers also found large health gaps between US adults of different genders, ages, and education levels. Specifically, the study found Americans with less education were half as likely to be in peak cardiometabolic health. O’Hearn adds “Identifying these individuals and addressing their health conditions and lifestyle early is critical to reducing growing healthcare burdens. Its impacts on national healthcare spending and the financial health of the entire economy are enormous. And these conditions are largely preventable. We have the public health and clinical interventions and policies to be able to address these problems.” 32. What percentage of American adults had optimal cardiometabolic health in 2018? A. Over 7 percent. B. Just 6.8 percent. C. Around 33 percent. D. About 60 percent. 33. What does O’Hearn think of the results of the study? A. They’re unreal. B. They’re acceptable. C They’re expected. D. They’re shocking. 34. What is the purpose of the team’s research? A. To find the big age gap. B. To help people keep fit. C. To develop new drugs. D. To earn lots of profits. 35. What can we infer from O’Hearn’s words in the last paragraph? A. Joint effort is needed to improve public health. B. Economic growth affects personal health condition. C. America saw a slow decrease in healthcare costs. D. Rich people tend to suffer from health problems. 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人空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。 We all know how emotionally taxing being a college student can be with difficult assignments, hundreds of pages of reading and challenging tests. ____36____ Here are some strategies helpful for you. ●Recognize sad feeling moments as a must.

Instead, a brick hit violently into the Jags side door! He stepped on the brakes and backed his Jag back to the spot where the brick had been thrown. The angry driver then jumped out of the car, grabbed the nearest kid and pushed him up against a parked car shouting, “What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing? That’s a new car and that brick you threw is going to cost a lot of money. Why did you do it?” The young boy was apologetic. “Please, mister... please, I’m sorry but I didn’t know what else to do,” he explained. “I threw the brick because no one else would stop…” With tears rolling down his face and off his chin, the youth pointed to a spot just around a parked car. “It’s my brother,” he said. “He rolled off the sidewalk and fell out of his wheelchair and I can’t lift him up.” Now sobbing, the boy asked the astonished manager, “Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He’s hurt and he’s too heavy for me.” Moved beyond words, the driver cooled his anger. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The driver watched the boy push his wheelchair-bound brother down the sidewalk toward their home. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 白银市二中2023-2024学年度(一)期中考试 高三年级英语 第Ⅰ卷(选择题 共110分) 第一部分听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 How many students are there in the woman’s class?

How long does it take to change the Screen Machine into a cinema? A. 30 minutes. B. 60 minutes. C. 80 minutes. 19. What is the Screen Machine’s driver responsible for? A. Selling tickets. B.

The cost of building a mobile cinema. 【答案】17. C 18. B 19. B 20. A 【解析】 【原文】I live on an island off the west coast of Scotland. I love it but a trip to the cinema means a 55-minute boat journey plus a half-hour drive to the nearest town. That’s why we all get excited about the Screen Machine. It’s a mobile cinema that travels round the Scottish islands. Sometimes we get to see the latest movies. You can’t miss the huge, bright blue Screen Machine when it comes into the car park. It takes an hour to change it into a comfortable, air-conditioned 80-seat cinema. It’s amazing. I really admire the Screen Machine’s driver. Of course, he shows the movies. And there is always another person selling tickets. The salt in the sea air isn’t good for the truck’s motors so they also need a mechanic. Ticket prices are very reasonable, so as soon as the Screen Machine arrives, the ticket office phone starts ringing. We can now also book in advance on the Screen Machine website, which makes it even more convenient. And that’s the way most people choose now. It’s an amazing service. 第二部分：阅读理解(共两节，满分50分) 第一节：(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A No summer is complete without a good book in your hand.

They are filled with history and if you ask 10 people how the nickname came about, you are more than likely to get several different answers. The History of College Nicknames, Mascots and School Colors explains the history behind them.(大学昵称很有趣。它们充满了历史，如果你问10个人这个绰号是怎么来的，你很可能会得到几个不同的答案。The History of College Nicknames, Mascots and School Colors解释了它们背后的历史。)”可知，这本书主要介绍了一些关于大学昵称的故事。故选B。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据WWII+V部分中的“Johan Zwaan narrates his memories of war as a kid 75 years after witnessing the Normandy invasion. The book has been translated into different languages and is a prize-winner.(在目睹诺曼底登陆75年后，Johan Zwaan讲述了他小时候对战争的记忆。这本书已被翻译成不同的语言，并获得了奖项。)”，可知，WWII+V这本书和二战有关，因此这本书的作者Johan Zwaan最吸引研究二战故事的学生。故选C。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据Re-Making the American Dream部分中的“Hardback | Paperback | E-book $23.99 | $12.99 | $4.99(精装本|平装本|电子书23.99美元| 12.99美元| 4.99美元)”以及Have Knife, Will Travel部分中的“Hardback | Paperback | E-book $19.99 | $12.99 | $3.99(精装本|平装本|电子书19.99美元| 12.99美元| 3.99美元)”可知，两本书的共同之处在于这两本书的平装本定价都是12.99美元。故选A。 B The Miao Sisters Festival is held every year in Guizhou’s Taijiang County, where 97 percent of the 168,000 people there are from the ethnic (民族) Miao group.It is an ancient tradition, which brings men and women together through food, gifts and music. In the days before the festival, young women gather leaves and wild flowers, which they use to dye (给……染色) sticky rice with bright colours. This brightly coloured rice, known as Sister Rice, gives the festival its name. During the festival, the young women dress in beautiful traditional clothes with large amounts of silver jewelry. The festival includes parades, horse races and musical performances. But the real focus is the interaction between the young women and the young men who visit from surrounding villages and sing songs.In one traditional type of song, a man and woman take turns singing to each other, and the first one to make a mistake loses the game.The loser must give the winner a gift, but the winner is expected to give a gift in return too. After meeting the men, the women send them home with a bamboo basket containing dyed rice and hidden objects with special meanings. For example, a pair of chopsticks means she wants to marry the man, while garlic shows that she is not interested. One of several stories is about the festival’s beginning of a girl and a boy who fell in love. The girl’s parents wanted her to marry her uncle’s son as it was traditional at the time. She refused, and the boy likewise refused to marry anyone else. For a time, they could only meet in a field and pass hidden messages to each other through rice in a bamboo basket. Finally, the pair overcame their parents’ opposition and were allowed to marry. The Miao Sisters Festival is perhaps the oldest festival in Asia that encourages love. 24. What is the purpose of young women collecting leaves and wild flowers? A. To decorate their rooms. B. To sell them and make money. C. To give sticky rice different colours. D. To cover some objects in a basket. 25. Which of the following is NOT the activity taking place in the festival? A. Water skiing. B. Horse races. C. Parades. D. Singing songs. 26. What can we learn from the passage? A. A woman often loses the game. B. A hidden pair of chopsticks suggests good things. C. The winner need not send a gift. D Often a man needs to sing songs to a young woman. 27. What does the story in Paragraph 5 tell us? A. The boy’s parents didn’t like the girl. B. They were not married in the end. C. The boy refused to marry the girl at first. D. The rice in the bamboo basket carried their love. 【答案】24. C 25. A 26. B 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国贵州的苗族姐妹节，介绍了该节日的庆祝活动、历史渊源等。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“In the days before the festival, young women gather leaves and wild flowers, which they use to dye (给……染色) sticky rice with bright colours.(在节前几天，年轻的女性收集树叶和野花，用它们来给糯米染上鲜艳的颜色。)”可知，年轻的女性收集树叶和野花是为了给糯米染上鲜艳的颜色。故选C。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The festival includes parades, horse races and musical performances. But the real focus is the interaction between the young women and the young men who visit from surrounding villages and sing songs.(这个节日包括游行、赛马和音乐表演。但真正的焦点是来自周围村庄的年轻男女之间的互动和唱歌。)”可知，游行、赛马和音乐表演都属于这个节日的活动。选项A“滑水”不属于该节日的活动。故选A。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“After meeting the men, the women send them home with a bamboo basket containing dyed rice and hidden objects with special meanings. For example, a pair of chopsticks means she wants to marry the man, while garlic shows that she is not interested.(见过男人们后，女人们会拿着一个竹篮把他们送回家，竹篮里装着染色的大米和有特殊意义的藏物。例如，一双筷子意味着她想嫁给这个男人，而大蒜表明她对这个男人不感兴趣。)”可知，竹篮里藏着筷子就表示这个女子想嫁给这个男人，也就是好事临近。故选B。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段“One of several stories is about the festival’s beginning of a girl and a boy who fell in love. The girl’s parents wanted her to marry her uncle’s son as it was traditional at the time. She refused, and the boy likewise refused to marry anyone else. For a time, they could only meet in a field and pass hidden messages to each other through rice in a bamboo basket.(有一个故事是关于一个女孩和一个男孩相爱的节日的开始。女孩的父母希望她嫁给她叔叔的儿子，因为这是当时的传统。她拒绝了，男孩也同样拒绝和别人结婚。有一段时间，他们只能在田野里见面，通过竹篓里的大米互相传递隐藏的信息。)”可知，竹篓里的大米传递的是这两个人的爱。故选D。 C Children will become more and more independent and will do what they would like to do. However, as parents, you ought to take care of your own children and have a better understanding of them in the following cases. School work becomes increasingly difficult as children grow up. So this is a time when some kids begin to do better in their school work while others struggle to understand more advanced and more difficult lessons. When they get home, talk with them about their school lessons and find out what they don’t understand. It’s a chance for you to stay close with your children as before and get them to relax. For many families, homework can be a serious struggle. Many school-age kids are reluctant to sit down and study for a spelling test or complete their math homework. It’s natural for them to be bored with their homework, but you have to think of ways to help them form the right habit to finish their homework when they get home. Many kids are busy with sports, music, and after-school activities. Others, however, may prefer to spend too many hours on the screen. It’s important to keep kids active at this age. Friends become a bigger deal for children during this time too. Attending birthday parties or playing with kids on the playground can be good for their development. Bullying (恃强凌弱的行为) can become a problem around this age. It’s important to talk to your child about kindness and respect so he doesn’t become a bully and it’s also quite necessary for you to talk about what he can do if he becomes a target. 28. What would happen with school lessons getting more difficult? A. Children are divided in their school lessons. B. Children have more homework to do at home. C. Parents have more chances to show themselves. D. Parents find it more difficult to teach their children. 29. What does the underlined word “reluctant” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Excited. B. Worried. C. Unwilling. D. Interested. 30. What does the author advise school children to do? A. Spend more hours on the screen. B. Be active both mentally and physically. C. Organize parties at home and school. D. Bully other students at school. 31. Who are the intended readers of this text? A. Students. B. Teachers. C. Parents. D. Office workers. 【答案】28. A 29. C 30. B 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了作为父母，我们应该如何更好地帮助孩子解决他们在成长的过程中所遇到的困难。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“School work becomes increasingly difficult as children grow up. So this is a time when some kids begin to do better in their school work while others struggle to understand more advanced and more difficult lessons. (随着孩子们的成长，学校作业变得越来越难。所以这个时候，一些孩子开始在学业上做得更好，而另一些孩子则在努力理解更高级、更难的课程。)”可知，随着学校的作业变得越来越难，学生在学业上也开始分裂了，有的学生会做得更好；而有的孩子则有点吃力。故选A。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词下一句“It’s natural for them to be bored with their homework, but you have to think of ways to help them form the right habit to finish their homework when they get home. (他们对家庭作业感到厌倦是很自然的，但是你必须想办法帮助他们形成正确的习惯，当他们回家后完成家庭作业。)”可知，儿童对家庭感到厌倦很正常。由此推断，儿童并不愿意做作业。所以，划线单词和“不愿意”意思相近。选项A“Excited (兴奋的)”；选项B“Worried (担忧的)”；选项C“Unwilling (不乐意)”；选项D“Interested (感兴趣的)”。故选C。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Many kids are busy with sports, music, and after-school activities. Others, however, may prefer to spend too many hours on the screen. It’s important to keep kids active at this age. (许多孩子忙于运动、音乐和课外活动。然而，其他人可能更喜欢花太多时间在屏幕上。让孩子在这个年龄保持活跃是很重要的。)”可知，作者建议学生要在身体上保持活跃；而根据文章第五段“Friends become a bigger deal for children during this time too. Attending birthday parties or playing with kids on the playground can be good for their development. (在这段时间里，朋友对孩子来说也变得更重要了。参加生日聚会或和孩子们在操场上玩对他们的发展有好处。)”以及最后一段“It’s important to talk to your child about kindness and respect so he doesn’t become a bully and it’s also quite necessary for you to talk about what he can do if he becomes a target. (跟你的孩子谈论善良和尊重是很重要的，这样他就不会变成欺负人的人，你也很有必要告诉他，如果他成为欺负人的目标，他能做什么。)”可知，孩子应该在心理上也保持健康。故选B。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Children will become more and more independent and will do what they would like to do. However, as parents, you ought to take care of your own children and have a better understanding of them in the following cases. (孩子们会变得越来越独立，会做他们想做的事情。然而，作为父母，你应该照顾好自己的孩子，并在以下情况下对他们有更好的了解。)”可知，文章是写给父母看的，以帮助父母更好地照顾自己的孩子，帮助孩子。故选C。 D A new study finds that less than seven percent of the adult population in the US have what health experts consider good cardiometabolic (心脏代谢) health. Using information on roughly 55,000 people over the age of 20, the results show just 6.8 percent of American adults reached optimal (最佳的) levels of health in 2018. Moreover, the study found American health has been in sharp decline over the last 20 years. In 1999, one in three adults had a healthy weight. By 2018, that number fell to just one in four Americans. At the same time, three in five people were free of diabetes in 1999. By 2018, however, more than six in ten adults had the condition! “These numbers are striking. It’s deeply problematic that in the United States, fewer than 1 in 15 adults have optimal cardiometabolic health,” says Meghan O’Hearn, one of the researchers from Tufts University. “We need a complete overhaul (革新) of our healthcare system, food system, and living conditions, because this is a crisis for everyone.” Instead of just looking for signs of disease, the team focused their study on the signs of good, moderate, and poor cardiometabolic health. “Disease is not the only problem,” O’Hearn explains. “We don’t just want to be free of disease. We want to achieve optimal health and well-being.” Researchers also found large health gaps between US adults of different genders, ages, and education levels. Specifically, the study found Americans with less education were half as likely to be in peak cardiometabolic health. O’Hearn adds “Identifying these individuals and addressing their health conditions and lifestyle early is critical to reducing growing healthcare burdens. Its impacts on national healthcare spending and the financial health of the entire economy are enormous. And these conditions are largely preventable. We have the public health and clinical interventions and policies to be able to address these problems.” 32. What percentage of American adults had optimal cardiometabolic health in 2018? A. Over 7 percent. B. Just 6.8 percent. C. Around 33 percent. D. About 60 percent. 33. What does O’Hearn think of the results of the study? A. They’re unreal. B. They’re acceptable. C. They’re expected. D. They’re shocking. 34. What is the purpose of the team’s research? A. To find the big age gap. B. To help people keep fit. C. To develop new drugs. D. To earn lots of profits. 35. What can we infer from O’Hearn’s words in the last paragraph? A. Joint effort is needed to improve public health. B. Economic growth affects personal health condition. C. America saw a slow decrease in healthcare costs. D. Rich people tend to suffer from health problems. 【答案】32. B 33. D 34. B 35.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，就当代大学生怎样调节学习压力和保持情感健康的问题提出了几条有益的建议。 【36题详解】 根据上文“We all know how emotionally taxing being a college student can be with difficult assignments, hundreds of pages of reading and challenging tests.(我们都知道，作为一名大学生，面对困难的作业、数百页的阅读和具有挑战性的考试，情绪上是多么费力)”可知，上文提到了情绪费力以及学业困难，本句总结上文：很难平衡大学生活和情感健康。故E选项“很难平衡大学生活和情感健康”符合语境，故选E。 【37题详解】 根据后文“When you’re really upset about something, you’re not in the right mindset to do homework. You’d better calm down before attempting anything else.(当你真的为某件事心烦意乱时，你就没有正确的心态去做作业。你最好先冷静下来再做别的事)”可知，后文提到了先冷静下来再做别的事情，即建议先休息。故F选项“不管你的理由是什么，让自己休息一下是可以的”符合语境，故选F。 【38题详解】 根据上文“●See stress as part of the college experience and relax yourself properly. When feeling stressed out, you can try giving yourself a 15-minute break between assignments to do what you like—watching videos, going for a walk, etc. If you have multiple classes that day, you can try taking the scenic route to class and enjoy the fresh air.( ●将压力视为大学生活的一部分，适当放松自己。当你感到压力很大的时候，你可以试着在作业之间给自己15分钟的休息时间，做你喜欢做的事情——看视频、散步等等。如果那天你有多节课，你可以尝试走风景优美的路线去上课，呼吸新鲜空气)”可知，上文提到了“15分钟的休息时间，做你喜欢做的事情”，上文do what you like对应G选项中Doing something you enjoy。故G选项“在工作间隙做一些你喜欢的事情真的很有帮助”符合语境，故选G。 【39题详解】 根据上文“●Remind yourself that you’re just a human. This is hard but necessary. If you’re mentally incapable of attending that class, let the professor know that you can’t go. If you’re struggling but you have lots of assignments, see if you can get extensions or attend office hours to get help so you can feel less stressed. (●提醒自己，你只是个普通人。这很难，但却是必要的。如果你精神上不能参加那门课，让教授知道你不能去。如果你正在挣扎，但你有很多任务，看看你是否可以延长或参加办公时间寻求帮助，这样你就可以减轻压力)”可知，本段主要说明了不要勉强自己，自己只是个普通人，C选项中As a person呼应上文you’re just a human，故C选项“作为一个人，你只能接受这么多”符合语境，故选C。 【40题详解】 根据后文“We have multiple places on campus for you to reach out. Don’t feel embarrassed about it. College life can be full of many things, and it’s completely normal to find yourself completely overwhelmed. But you have resources. There are lots of trusted people very willing to help you!(我们校园里有很多地方供你选择。不要为此感到尴尬。大学生活充满了很多事情，发现自己完全不知所措是很正常的。但你有资源。有很多值得信赖的人非常愿意帮助你！)”可知，下文中的reach out和 willing to help you可知，该段主要讲的是，你可以寻求他人的帮助，故B选项“记得寻求帮助”符合语境，故选B。 第三部分：英语知识运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节：完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My mother is 92.

He was watching for kids darting out (窜出) from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his car passed, no children appeared. Instead, a brick hit violently into the Jags side door! He stepped on the brakes and backed his Jag back to the spot where the brick had been thrown. The angry driver then jumped out of the car, grabbed the nearest kid and pushed him up against a parked car shouting, “What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing? That’s a new car and that brick you threw is going to cost a lot of money. Why did you do it?” The young boy was apologetic. “Please, mister... please, I’m sorry but I didn’t know what else to do,” he explained. “I threw the brick because no one else would stop…” With tears rolling down his face and off his chin, the youth pointed to a spot just around a parked car. “It’s my brother,” he said. “He rolled off the sidewalk and fell out of his wheelchair and I can’t lift him up.” Now sobbing, the boy asked the astonished manager, “Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He’s hurt and he’s too heavy for me.” Moved beyond words, the driver cooled his anger. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The driver watched the boy push his wheelchair-bound brother down the sidewalk toward their home. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: Moved beyond words, the driver cooled his anger. He hurriedly lifted the handicapped boy back into the wheelchair. On seeing the bleeding cuts, the man took out his white handkerchief and wiped the wound gently with great care. A quick look told him everything was going to be okay. When the driver was about to leave, the young brother stepped forward. “Thank you and may God bless you,” said the grateful child, tears filling his eyes. Paragraph 2: The driver watched the boy push his wheelchair-bound brother down the sidewalk toward their home. It was a long, slow walk back to the Jaguar. The damage was very noticeable, but the driver never bothered to repair the damaged side door. He kept it there to remind him of this message: “Don’t go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your attention!” God whispers in our souls and speaks to our hearts. Sometimes when we don’t have time to listen, he has to throw a brick at us. It’s our choice to listen or not. 【解析】 【分析】本篇书面表达属于读后续写，要求考生续写两段内容使之与已给出的材料构成一篇完整的短文。 【详解】本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读所给文章可知，一位年轻而成功的经理开着他的新捷豹在附近的街道上行驶, 一块砖头猛烈地撞进车的侧门, 这位司机很生气，原来一个男孩的哥哥从人行道上滚下来，从轮椅上摔了下来，他抬不起来，需要帮助所以才扔的砖头。 续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：司机言不由衷地平息了怒气，后面应该写他急忙把那个男孩扶回轮椅上，拿出白手帕，小心翼翼地轻轻擦拭伤口。司机正要离开时，弟弟非常感激这个司机，眼里充满了泪水。第二段开头是：司机看着那个男孩把坐轮椅的弟弟推下人行道，朝他们家走去。本段应该写虽然车损坏很明显，但司机没有修理损坏的侧门以便提醒自己：“不要过得太快，以至于有人不得不向你扔砖头来引起你的注意！”有时当我们没有时间听的时候，他不得不向我们扔砖头。听不听是我们的选择。 续写时我们要按照已给出的材料中的关键词来写两段内容。最后还要注意所续写短文的词数应为150左右。按要求完成写作任务。 【点睛】本文描写详略得当，使用了高级词汇和高级句子。如：with great care，go through，get one’s attention等高级词汇；when引导的时间状语从句When the driver was about to leave, the young brother stepped forward等高级句式。 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
