In the 1950s, the stamps of this kind became more colourful. When the White Olympics came, the host countries as well as the non-host countries published stamps to mark those Games. China also published four stamps in February 1980, when the Chinese sportsmen began to take part in the White Olympics. Japan is an Asian country that has ever held the White Olympics.Altogether 14,500 million stamps were sold to raise money for this sports meet.

C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了冬奥会期间各国发生邮票来纪念这一奥运盛事的惯例。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The first stamps marking the opening came out on January 25,1932 in the United States for the 3rd White Olympics. From then on, publishing stamps during the White Olympics became a rule.”（第一批纪念开幕式的邮票于1932年1月25日在美国为第三届白色奥运会发行。从那时起，在白色奥运会期间发行邮票就成了惯例。）可知，发行邮票来纪念冬奥会这一惯例是在第三届冬奥会后开始的。故选B。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段第一句中的“1932 in the United States for the 3rd White Olympics”（1932年在美国举行的第三届白色奥运会）和第二段第一句“During the 4th Winter Olympic Games a group of stamps were published in Germany in November 1936”（在第四届冬季奥运会期间，一组邮票于1936年11月在德国发行）可知，1932年举办了第三届冬奥会，1936年举办了第四届冬奥会，因此是每四年举办一次冬奥会。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段第二句“When the White Olympics came, the host countries(东道国)as well as the non-host countries published stamps to mark those games.”（当白色奥运会到来时，主办国和非主办国都发行了纪念邮票。）可知，冬奥会来临时，东道国和非东道国都会发行纪念邮票，即所有的国家都可以发行纪念邮票。故选C。 B In 2018, Su Yiming, a 14-year-old native of north easter China, was faced with a difficult decision: Pursue a promising career as an actor, or cast it aside and go all in on snowboarding, in a country where most people had never seen a snowboard. At the time, Su was fast becoming an established name in China’s film industry. He had starred as a village boy seeking revenge for his father’s death in a critically acclaimed war movie, and appeared in several more television dramas. But with the 2022 Winter Olympics approaching, the teenager saw an opportunity. “Snowboarding was something I enjoyed the most, and this was a chance to take part in my own home country,” said Su, then 17. Su’s gamble (冒险) paid off. Three days short of his 18th birthday, Su took gold in the big air snowboarding event, writing history for the Olympic host nation by winning the country’s first gold medal in the event. “It’s my happiest moment when I stand on the snowboard. No matter how long I train, even for seven or eight hours in a row, joy to me. Love is what has been supporting me all the time.” Su said. “I had always dreamed about what it would be like to stand on the podium (领奖台) of the Olympics, and today, I did it,” Su said. Together with the freestyle skier Gu Ailing, who is one year his senior, Su is among the most popular athletes for the Olympic host nation. In an interview with media, Su’s father said his son always had an affinity with snow, a connection that began the day his son was born in February 2004. “There was a heavy snowstorm that day. Cars couldn’t move on the streets,” the father recalled. Sus father said his son loved snowboarding so much that, even in elementary school, the younger Su would set aside three days a week to train. 4. What do we know about Su Yiming? A. He used to be a famous child actor. B. He had a miserable childhood. C. He took gold on his eighteenth birthday. D. He is senior to Gu Ailing by one year. 5. Which of the following best describes Su Yiming? A. Smart and sensitive B. Diligent and honest C. Enthusiastic and determined D. Adventurous and stubborn 6. What can we infer from Su’s father’s words? A. Su was born to be associated with snow. B. Su was caught in a snowstorm when he was born. C. Su trained four days a week in elementary school. D. Su was influenced by his father’s connection with snow. 7. What lesson can we get from Su’s story? A. Rome is not built in a day. B. Constant dripping wears away a stone. C. Nothing is impossible if you put your heart into it. D. Passion and desire can pave the way for dream realization. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍中国单板滑雪运动员苏翊鸣的成长经历。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“At the time, Su was fast becoming an established name in China’s film industry. He had starred as a village boy seeking revenge for his father’s death in a critically acclaimed war movie, and appeared in several more television dramas. (当时，苏很快成为中国电影界的知名人物。他曾在一部广受好评的战争电影中饰演一个为父亲复仇的乡村男孩，还出演了几部电视剧。)”可知苏翊鸣曾经是个著名的童星。故选A。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“But with the 2022 Winter Olympics approaching, the teenager saw an opportunity. “Snowboarding was something I enjoyed the most, and this was a chance to take part in my own home country,” said Su, then 17. Su’s gamble (冒险) paid off. (当时17岁的苏说：“单板滑雪是我最喜欢的运动，这是一个在我自己的祖国参加冬奥会的机会。”苏赌赢了。)”可知苏是有决心的，以及下文““It’s my happiest moment when I stand on the snowboard. No matter how long I train, even for seven or eight hours in a row, joy to me. Love is what has been supporting me all the time.” Su said. (“站在滑雪板上是我最开心的时刻。无论我训练多长时间，即使是连续七八个小时，我都很高兴。对这项运动的热爱一直支持着我。”苏说。)”可知苏非常热爱单板滑雪这项运动，故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In an interview with media, Su’s father said his son always had an affinity with snow, a connection that began the day his son was born in February 2004. “There was a heavy snowstorm that day. Cars couldn’t move on the streets,” the father recalled. Sus father said his son loved snowboarding so much that, even in elementary school, the younger Su would set aside three days a week to train. (在接受媒体采访时，苏的父亲表示，他的儿子一直与雪有着密切的联系，这种联系始于2004年2月他儿子出生的那一天。“那天下了一场暴风雪。汽车不能在街上行驶，”父亲回忆道。苏的父亲说，他的儿子非常喜欢单板滑雪，甚至在小学的时候，小苏每周都会抽出三天的时间来训练。)”可推断苏一出生就和雪联系在一起。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其第二段“But with the 2022 Winter Olympics approaching, the teenager saw an opportunity. “Snowboarding was something I enjoyed the most, and this was a chance to take part in my own home country,” said Su, then 17. Su’s gamble (冒险) paid off. Three days short of his 18th birthday, Su took gold in the big air snowboarding event, writing history for the Olympic host nation by winning the country’s first gold medal in the event. “It’s my happiest moment when I stand on the snowboard. No matter how long I train, even for seven or eight hours in a row, joy to me. Love is what has been supporting me all the time.” Su said. (但随着2022年冬奥会的临近，这位少年看到了一个机会。当时17岁的苏说：“单板滑雪是我最喜欢的运动，这是一个在我自己的祖国参加冬奥会的机会。”苏赌赢了。离他18岁生日还有三天，苏在大型空中单板滑雪项目中获得金牌，为奥运主办国赢得了该国在该项目上的第一枚金牌，创造了历史。“站在滑雪板上是我最开心的时刻。无论我训练多长时间，即使是连续七八个小时，我都很高兴。对这项运动的热爱一直支持着我。”苏说。) ”可知对滑雪板的激情和热爱是他实现奥运会冠军梦想的基础，故选D。 C New technology rules the whole world now. But I still remember when I was a child, I did not have a cell phone or a computer because it was not necessary at all in those days. The Internet was not popular and the touch screen technology was unknown. At this time here in the US smartphones are really a need, especially for young and business people. There are many applications (应用软件) really useful like maps, dictionaries, e-mails and games. For me, I use my smartphone to check the weather and to look for something on the Internet and of course to keep communicating through calls and texts. Besides, I like music applications, GPS and Facebook. Many tests have discovered that cell phones cause damage to us because they send out radioactive (具有放射性的) waves to our bodies and this could cause cancer. Psychologists say that these devices can affect behavior and I believe everyone knows it is harmful to the eyes if we are sitting for a long time in front of the computer. However, it seems to be difficult for us to give up, even if we know how bad it is for our health. The use of technology becomes more and more important in our lives. I think the use of technology has brought us unimaginable things. If we use technology correctly, I am sure it would be possible to decrease the damage to our bodies. Keep in mind that it is important not to focus only on technology, but to spend time with our families and people close to us. 8. What can we know from the passage? A. The author is a businessman working for a cell phone company. B. The author has suffered a lot from the use of electrical devices. C. The author knows little about the functions of modern cell phones. D. The author is quite pleased with the various functions of cell phones. 9. Which of the following does the author agree with? A. It’s not necessary to add more applications to cell phones. B. Cell phones have made our world a boring place to live in. C. New technology has done people more harm than good. D. New technology makes people separated from each other. 10. What does the underlined word “decrease” in Paragraph 6 mean? A. Keep. B. Cause. C. Reduce. D. Add. 11. What does the author mainly discuss in the passage? A. The importance of the Internet. B. The applications of cell phones. C. The role of new technology in our lives. D. The health problems brought by cell phones. 【答案】8. D 9. D 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇议论文。短文中作者以手机为例，介绍了科技的飞速发展给人们的生活带来的影响并分析了其利弊。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。由第三段“For me, I use my smartphone to check the weather and to look for something on the Internet and of course to keep communicating through calls and texts. Besides, I like music applications, GPS and Facebook.”及第六段中的“I think the use of technology has brought us unimaginable things”可知，对我来说，我用我的智能手机来查看天气，在互联网上寻找一些东西，当然，通过电话和短信保持沟通。此外，我喜欢音乐应用程序，GPS和Facebook。我认为技术的使用给我们带来了难以想象的事情。所以通过作者对手机众多功能的介绍。可以判断出作者对手机的众多功能非常满意。故D选项正确。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。由最后段“Keep in mind that it is important not to focus only on technology, but to spend time with our families and people close to us.”可知，记住，重要的不是只关注技术，而是花时间与家人和身边的人在一起。所以作者认为，科技给我们的生活带来了许多意想不到的事物，但我们不应因此而忽略和家人以及周围人的相处。故判断出作者认为新技术使人们彼此疏远。故D选项正确。 【10题详解】 词义猜测题。由倒数第二段“ If we use technology correctly, I am sure it would be possible to decrease the damage to our bodies.”可知，如果我们正确使用技术，我相信可以减少对我们身体的伤害。所以根据上下文语境可知，如果我们正确地使用科技，就可能会减少对身体的伤害。故判断出第6段下划线的"decrease"是reduce“减少”的意思。故C选项正确。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文尤其是第一段中的“New technology rules the whole world now”可知，短文中作者以手机为例，介绍了科技的飞速发展给人们的生活带来的影响并分析了其利弊。所以作者在短文中主要讨论了新技术在我们生活中的作用。故C选项正确。 D Robots Are Coming The year is 2050. A goal is scored at the soccer World Cup. Not by a human player, but by a robot. A robot? Is that possible? Many scientists believe it is. In fact, there are already robots that can play soccer. Of course, today’s robots don’t just play sports. Today’s scientists are working on robots with various skills. For example, it is very possible that robots will soon help take care of children or the elderly, or do dangerous jobs such as fighting fires. When people started making robots, they were made to do just simple things, mainly in factories. Since then, however, robots have changed a lot. Early robots were operated by humans. Today’s robots function on their own. Some can only move around a little, like robot vacuum cleaners, but others can do much more. They can run, climb stairs, dance, and yes, even play soccer. Then there are robots designed to be like humans. These robots have faces and can show emotions. Such robots can learn new things, and show us how they “feel”. Scientists aren’t just building humanlike robots. At NASA, scientists are making a robot snake. They think it’s a good alternative to vehicles with wheels. These snake-bots can enter holes and move over rough ground. They might one day help scientists look for signs of life on Mars. Other animal robots include the frog-bot, which can jump over objects, and the sticky-bot, which can walk up walls. But can a robot soccer team ever operate all on their own, or play as well as a human team? Many robot scientists definitely think so. Anything is possible. One day, they may even be world champions! 12. The passage is mainly about___________. A. what robots can do B. why people need robots C how one makes his own robot D. when a robot soccer match will be held 13. What is the purpose of the second paragraph? A. To describe multiple functions of today’s robots. B. To illustrate why today’s robots are more widely used. C. To explain the original intention of making the early robots. D. To highlight the differences between today’s robots and early robots. 14. The underlined word “They” in Paragraph 3 refers to___________. A. vehicles B. wheels C. snake-bots D. human-like robots 15. Which statement would the author probably agree with? A. Human-like robots will one day have emotions. B. A frog-bot can do more things than a sticky-bot. C. There could be a robot champion team of the world by 2050. D. Humans should not depend too much on robots to do difficult jobs. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了早期机器人和现在的机器人对比，目前科学家研究的机器人以及未来对机器人发展的猜测等。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章主题段第一段“In fact, there are already robots that can play soccer. Of course, today’s robots don’t just play sports. Today’s scientists are working on robots with various skills. For example, it is very possible that robots will soon help take care of children or the elderly, or do dangerous jobs such as fighting fires.(事实上，已经有机器人会踢足球了。当然，今天的机器人不只是做运动。今天的科学家们正在研究具有各种技能的机器人。例如，机器人很可能很快就会帮助照顾孩子或老人，或者做一些危险的工作，比如灭火。)”可知，这篇文章主要内容是关于机器人能做什么。故选A项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Early robots were operated by humans. Today’s robots function on their own. Some can only move around a little, like robot vacuum cleaners, but others can do much more. They can run, climb stairs, dance, and yes, even play soccer.(早期的机器人是由人操作的。今天的机器人可以自己运作。有些机器人只能移动一点，比如真空吸尘器，但有些机器人可以做得更多。他们可以跑步，爬楼梯，跳舞，是的，甚至踢足球。)”可知，第二段的目的是为了强调今天的机器人和早期机器人的区别。故选D项。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第三段划线词的上文“These snake-bots can enter holes and move over rough ground.(这些蛇机器人可以进入洞穴，在粗糙的地面上移动。)”可知，上文提到了一些蛇机器人，所以可推知划线词They指代上文的snake-bots。故选C项。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“But can a robot soccer team ever operate all on their own, or play as well as a human team? Many robot scientists definitely think so. Anything is possible. One day, they may even be world champions!(但是，机器人足球队能够完全独立运作，或者像人类足球队一样出色吗？许多机器人科学家肯定是这么认为的。一切皆有可能。有一天，他们甚至可能成为世界冠军！)”可知，在未来可能会有一个世界机器人冠军团队。故选C项。 第二节 （共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项 Although most games have winners and losers, the goal of sports is not to win every game. The real goals include getting exercise, having fun, and learning important social skills, like sportsmanship. Good sportsmanship is all about respect. Good sports (有体育精神的人) respect their teammates and also their opponents. They respect their coaches, and they also respect the referees or other officials involved in their games. ____16____ They shout at their teammates and they talk back to coaches or referees. Kids usually learn sportsmanship good and bad from the adults in their lives. ____17____ If parents and coaches show disrespect for other fans, referees, or each other, kids will likely act the same way on the field. ____18____ Some of them are very basic and easy to do, like shaking hands with other players before a game. Other examples may take a little more courage, such as acknowledging a great play made by the opposing team. Learning good sportsmanship is important because it helps you develop an attitude of graciousness (礼貌) and respect that will carry over into all the other areas of your life. ____19____ Being a good sport in the classroom will eventually lead to being a good sport in the workplace. So be a good sport in whatever you do! ____20____ When others see you acting in a way that makes it clear that winning isn’t the most important thing, you can move on to focusing on the important things, like having fum, getting exercise, and improving your skills! A. Good sportsmanship can be shown in many ways. B. However, bad sportsmanship is all about disrespect. C. Players’ parents and coaches set examples that kids tend to follow. D. We can be good sports by encouraging others but not laughing at them. E. Starting as a good sport earlier will help you be a good sport as you get old. F. If you’re a good sport on the field, you’ll also likely be a good sport in the classroom. G. The example you set can be a powerful teaching tool for others. 【答案】16. B 17. C 18. A 19. F 20. G 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是良好的体育精神的好处。 【16题详解】 后文“They shout at their teammates and they talk back to coaches or referees.(他们对他们的队友大喊大叫，和教练或裁判顶嘴)”与设空处前的表述内容相反，因而设空处有转折含义，B项“However, bad sportsmanship is all about disrespect.(然而，糟糕的体育精神都是关于不尊重的)”中“However”表示转折，“disrespect”与下文所述的“对队友大喊大叫，与教练和裁判顶嘴”呼应。故选B。 【17题详解】 C项“Players’ parents and coaches set examples that kids tend to follow.(运动员的父母和教练为孩子们树立了榜样)”说明了运动员的父母和教练对孩子的影响，后文“If parents and coaches show disrespect to other fans, referees, or each other, kids will likely act the same way on the field.(如果父母和教练对其他球迷、裁判或彼此不尊重，孩子们很可能在运动场上也会表现出同样的行为)”是对C项的进一步详细说明，且“parents and coaches”也与C项中内容呼应。故选C。 【18题详解】 根据后文“Some of them are very basic and easy to do, like shaking hands with other players before a game. Other examples may take a little more courage, such as acknowledging a great play made by the opposing team.(其中一些非常简单，比如在比赛前和其他队员握手。其他的例子可能需要更多的勇气，比如承认对方赛队的出色表现)”可知，这里在列举好的体育精神的表现方式，其中“Some of them”，“Other examples”与A项“Good sportsmanship can be shown in many ways.(良好的体育精神可以通过许多方式表现出来)”中的“in many ways”呼应。故选A。 【19题详解】 根据前文“Learning good sportsmanship is important because it helps you develop an attitude of graciousness(礼貌) and respect that will carry over into all the other areas of your life.(学习良好的体育精神是很重要的，因为它有助于你培养一种优雅和尊重的态度，这将延续到你生活的所有其他领域)”可知，良好的体育精神对生活中其他方面也有影响，F项“If you’re a good sport on the field, you’ll also likely be a good sport in the classroom.(如果你在运动场上是一名优秀的运动员，那么你在课堂上也很可能是优秀的)”内容上承接了前文，并且“in the classroom”与后文“Being a good sport in the classroom will eventually lead to being a good sport in the workplace.(在课堂上表现得好，最终也会在工作中表现得好)”呼应，F项承上启下。故选F。 【20题详解】 G项“The example you set can be a powerful teaching tool for others.(你树立的榜样对其他人来说是一个强大的教学工具)”中的“others”与后文“When others see you acting in a way that makes it clear that winning isn’t the most important thing, you can move on to focusing on the important things, like having fum, getting exercise, and improving your skills!(当其他人看到你的行为表明胜利不是最重要的事情时，你可以把注意力转移到重要的事情上，比如运动、锻炼和提高技能！)”中的“others”呼应；“The example you set”与前文“So be a good sport in whatever you do!（所以无论你做什么都要做好榜样!）”中的“So be a good sport”呼应。故选G。 【点睛】 第三部分 语言知识运用(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) 阅读下列短文,掌握其大意,从每题所给的A .B.C .D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。 So far, many dolphins worldwide have been captured and kept in small pools, performing for people, especially kids.

Although in recent years technology____45____ (change) the way we acquire friends, the meaning of friendship and our longing for friends remain the same. 【答案】36. significantly 37. with 38. to find 39. playing 40. hobbies 41. personal 42. is 43. that##which 44. However 45. has changed 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了随着科技的进步，社交媒体使得我们交朋友和与他们交流的方式发生了重大变化。 【36题详解】 考查副词。句意：由于科技的进步，我们交朋友和与他们交流的方式发生了重大变化。空处修饰动词changed，需用副词形式作状语。故填significantly。 【37题详解】 考查介词。句意：如今，我们可以环游世界，仍然与我们想成为朋友的人保持联系。stay in touch with sb.为固定搭配，表示“与某人保持联系”。故填with。 【38题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：数字时代也使我们能够找到与我们有共同兴趣的人，比如收集模型汽车或演奏一种不同寻常的乐器。enable sb. to do sth.是固定搭配，表示“使某人能够做某事”，所以空处应用动词不定式作宾语补足语。故填to find。 【39题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：数字时代也使我们能够找到与我们有共同兴趣人，比如收集模型汽车或演奏一种不同寻常的乐器。空处与collecting并列，应用动名词形式作宾语。故填playing。 【40题详解】 考查名词。句意：无论我们的爱好是什么，互联网都可以将我们与同样喜欢做这些事情的人联系起来，即使他们生活在世界的另一端。hobby为可数名词，根据空后的are可知，空处应用名词的复数形式，在whatever引导的从句中作主语。故填hobbies。 【41题详解】 考查形容词。句意：如果人们总是在网上交换真实的个人信息，那么这些友谊可能是真实而有意义的。空处修饰名词information，应用形容词形式作定语。故填personal。 【42题详解】 考查时态和主谓一致。句意：但我们需要记住，我们在社交媒体上看到的往往不是一个人的全部真相。根据句中see可知，句子使用一般现在时，在that引导的宾语从句中，what引导从句作句子主语，谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式，be动词使用is。故填is。 【43题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：在社交媒体网站上，人们往往只发布让自己看起来快乐、友好的积极更新，而微笑的照片可以隐藏真正的问题。分析句子结构可知，空处引导限制性定语从句，修饰先行词updates，先行词指物，关系词在从句中作主语，应用关系代词that或者which引导从句。故填that/which。 【44题详解】 考查连词。句意：但这并不意味着我们应该不分好坏地全盘抛弃。结合语意可知，本句与上文内容形成转折关系，设空位于句首，用逗号与句子主干隔开，用连接副词however作状语，表示“但是”；置于句首，首字母大写。故填However。 【45题详解】 考查时态。句意：尽管近年来科技改变了我们获得朋友的方式，但友谊的意义和我们对朋友的渴望仍然不变。根据时间状语是in recent years可知，句子应用现在完成时，主语是technology，谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式。故填has changed。 第四部分 写作（40分） 46. 假设你是某中学的学生李华，请根据以下提示，针对你市遭沙尘暴袭击的情况，向某英语报社写一封信，呼吁大家植树造林，保护环境。内容包括: 1过去家乡树木成林，如今人们毁林种地、建房； 2.气候变化，土地沙漠化； 3.植树造林，人人有责。 注意： 1.词数80左右； 2.开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Editor, ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】One possible version: Dear Editor, I’m a student at a middle school.

Although her singing was very pleasant to hear, lacking of courage, she never dared to sing in front of strangers. One summer, the neighborhood where she lived would hold a singing competition. Her best friend, Lucy, came to invite her to participate in the competition, but Emily said, “I’m afraid to take part in it.” Her mother said, “It’s okay; just do it bravely.” Emily followed her mama’s advice and decided to give herself a try. The day came. Emily and Lucy went to the competition site. But she was too timid (胆小的) to walk onto the stage. She had been waiting until others finished singing. She shakily (颤抖地)forced herself to stand on the stage. She started to sing, but her voice was so low. What’s worse, she was so nervous that she forgot the lyrics (歌词)after singing a few words. Being laughed at by others, embarrassed and shy, she ran away from the stage. Some naughty boys ran after her and said, “Emily, coward (胆小鬼)! Emily, coward!” Emily didn’t argue with them. What she wanted was to go back home as quickly as she could. Finally she rushed into the house, hugged her mom and cried sadly. “Well, my poor girl, don’t cry. Tell me what happened to you,” asked her mom. Emily looked up at her mother and told her what she had experienced. Listening to her, her mom cupped her face and said, “It doesn’t matter, girl. As long as you practice singing more in front of strangers, you will become braver little by little. So, my girl, don’t be beaten by a failure. You can go out to practice singing every day. No matter who is listening to you, go on singing and never stop. I believe there will be a harvest for you.” 注意: 续写词数应为80-100左右。 Emily listened to her mother carefully and followed her mom’s suggestion. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Emily listened to her mother carefully and followed her mom’s suggestion. The next day, she began to practice singing outside. Gradually, she became more and more courageous, and even chose to sing in the park, right before a group of people. The following year, Emily entered another singing competition held by the community. She walked onto the stage bravely, and her loud and beautiful voice moved all the people. They all cheered for her, including those who had laughed at her. Her mother was delighted to see the timid girl became a brave one. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了艾米丽唱歌很好听，但她从来不敢在陌生人面前唱歌。一年夏天，她住的那个街区举办了一场歌唱比赛。她最好的朋友露西来邀请她参加比赛，但艾米丽不敢参加。她妈妈鼓励她勇敢地去做。艾米丽听从了妈妈的建议，参加了比赛。但比赛当天，她太胆小了，太紧张了，唱了几句就忘词了。在别人的嘲笑下，她从舞台上跑开了。她哭着跑回了家，她将一切告诉了妈妈，妈妈告诉她只要多在陌生人面前练习唱歌，她就会一点一点变得勇敢。 【详解】1. 段落续写： 由首句“艾米丽认真听妈妈的话，听从了她的建议”可知，下文可描写艾米丽开始在外面人多的地方练歌，慢慢地她变得自信了，她参加了第二年举行的比赛，勇敢走上舞台，并获得大家的认可。 2.续写线索：听从建议——练习唱歌——变得自信——在许多人面前唱歌被表扬——参加比赛——获得认可 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①嘲笑：laugh at/make fun of ②感动：move/touch 情绪类 ①勇敢的：courageous/brave/bold ②高兴的：pleased/delighted/happy 【点睛】【高分句型1】The following year, Emily entered another singing competition held by the community. （运用了过去分词作后置定语） 【高分句型2】 They all cheered for her, including those who had laughed at her.（运用了who引导的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 成都东部新区养马高级中学 2024-2025学年度（下）高2023级期中考试英语试题 时间：120分钟 总分：150分 第一部分 听力（共20题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节 （共 5 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 7. 5 分） 听下面 5 段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C 三个选项中选 出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有 10 秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

At this time, many colorful stamps are published to mark the great Games. The first stamps marking the opening came out on January 25, 1932 in the United States for the 3rd White Olympics. From then on, publishing stamps during the White Olympics became a rule. During the 4th Winter Olympic Games a group of stamps were published in Germany in November 1936. The five rings of Olympics were drawn on the front of the sportswear. It was the first time that the rings had appeared on the stamps of the White Olympics. In the 1950s, the stamps of this kind became more colourful. When the White Olympics came, the host countries as well as the non-host countries published stamps to mark those Games. China also published four stamps in February 1980, when the Chinese sportsmen began to take part in the White Olympics. Japan is an Asian country that has ever held the White Olympics.Altogether 14,500 million stamps were sold to raise money for this sports meet. Different kinds of sports were drawn on these small stamps. People can enjoy the beauty of the wonderful movements of some sportsmen. 1.

B In 2018, Su Yiming, a 14-year-old native of north easter China, was faced with a difficult decision: Pursue a promising career as an actor, or cast it aside and go all in on snowboarding, in a country where most people had never seen a snowboard. At the time, Su was fast becoming an established name in China’s film industry. He had starred as a village boy seeking revenge for his father’s death in a critically acclaimed war movie, and appeared in several more television dramas. But with the 2022 Winter Olympics approaching, the teenager saw an opportunity. “Snowboarding was something I enjoyed the most, and this was a chance to take part in my own home country,” said Su, then 17. Su’s gamble (冒险) paid off. Three days short of his 18th birthday, Su took gold in the big air snowboarding event, writing history for the Olympic host nation by winning the country’s first gold medal in the event. “It’s my happiest moment when I stand on the snowboard. No matter how long I train, even for seven or eight hours in a row, joy to me. Love is what has been supporting me all the time.” Su said. “I had always dreamed about what it would be like to stand on the podium (领奖台) of the Olympics, and today, I did it,” Su said. Together with the freestyle skier Gu Ailing, who is one year his senior, Su is among the most popular athletes for the Olympic host nation. In an interview with media, Su’s father said his son always had an affinity with snow, a connection that began the day his son was born in February 2004. “There was a heavy snowstorm that day. Cars couldn’t move on the streets,” the father recalled. Sus father said his son loved snowboarding so much that, even in elementary school, the younger Su would set aside three days a week to train. 4. What do we know about Su Yiming? A. He used to be a famous child actor. B. He had a miserable childhood. C. He took gold on his eighteenth birthday. D. He is senior to Gu Ailing by one year. 5. Which of the following best describes Su Yiming? A. Smart and sensitive B. Diligent and honest C. Enthusiastic and determined D. Adventurous and stubborn 6. What can we infer from Su’s father’s words? A. Su was born to be associated with snow. B. Su was caught in a snowstorm when he was born. C. Su trained four days a week in elementary school. D. Su was influenced by his father’s connection with snow. 7. What lesson can we get from Su’s story? A. Rome is not built in a day. B. Constant dripping wears away a stone. C. Nothing is impossible if you put your heart into it. D Passion and desire can pave the way for dream realization. C New technology rules the whole world now. But I still remember when I was a child, I did not have a cell phone or a computer because it was not necessary at all in those days. The Internet was not popular and the touch screen technology was unknown. At this time here in the US smartphones are really a need, especially for young and business people. There are many applications (应用软件) really useful like maps, dictionaries, e-mails and games. For me, I use my smartphone to check the weather and to look for something on the Internet and of course to keep communicating through calls and texts. Besides, I like music applications, GPS and Facebook. Many tests have discovered that cell phones cause damage to us because they send out radioactive (具有放射性的) waves to our bodies and this could cause cancer. Psychologists say that these devices can affect behavior and I believe everyone knows it is harmful to the eyes if we are sitting for a long time in front of the computer. However, it seems to be difficult for us to give up, even if we know how bad it is for our health. The use of technology becomes more and more important in our lives. I think the use of technology has brought us unimaginable things. If we use technology correctly, I am sure it would be possible to decrease the damage to our bodies. Keep in mind that it is important not to focus only on technology, but to spend time with our families and people close to us. 8. What can we know from the passage? A. The author is a businessman working for a cell phone company. B. The author has suffered a lot from the use of electrical devices. C. The author knows little about the functions of modern cell phones. D. The author is quite pleased with the various functions of cell phones. 9. Which of the following does the author agree with? A. It’s not necessary to add more applications to cell phones. B. Cell phones have made our world a boring place to live in. C. New technology has done people more harm than good. D. New technology makes people separated from each other. 10. What does the underlined word “decrease” in Paragraph 6 mean? A. Keep. B. Cause. C. Reduce. D. Add. 11. What does the author mainly discuss in the passage? A. The importance of the Internet. B. The applications of cell phones. C. The role of new technology in our lives. D. The health problems brought by cell phones. D Robots Are Coming The year is 2050. A goal is scored at the soccer World Cup. Not by a human player, but by a robot. A robot? Is that possible? Many scientists believe it is. In fact, there are already robots that can play soccer. Of course, today’s robots don’t just play sports. Today’s scientists are working on robots with various skills. For example, it is very possible that robots will soon help take care of children or the elderly, or do dangerous jobs such as fighting fires. When people started making robots, they were made to do just simple things, mainly in factories. Since then, however, robots have changed a lot. Early robots were operated by humans. Today’s robots function on their own. Some can only move around a little, like robot vacuum cleaners, but others can do much more. They can run, climb stairs, dance, and yes, even play soccer. Then there are robots designed to be like humans. These robots have faces and can show emotions. Such robots can learn new things, and show us how they “feel”. Scientists aren’t just building humanlike robots. At NASA, scientists are making a robot snake. They think it’s a good alternative to vehicles with wheels. These snake-bots can enter holes and move over rough ground. They might one day help scientists look for signs of life on Mars. Other animal robots include the frog-bot, which can jump over objects, and the sticky-bot, which can walk up walls. But can a robot soccer team ever operate all on their own, or play as well as a human team? Many robot scientists definitely think so. Anything is possible. One day, they may even be world champions! 12. The passage is mainly about___________. A. what robots can do B. why people need robots C. how one makes his own robot D. when a robot soccer match will be held 13. What is the purpose of the second paragraph? A. To describe multiple functions of today’s robots. B. To illustrate why today’s robots are more widely used. C. To explain the original intention of making the early robots. D. To highlight the differences between today’s robots and early robots. 14. The underlined word “They” in Paragraph 3 refers to___________. A. vehicles B. wheels C. snake-bots D. human-like robots 15.

Although her singing was very pleasant to hear, lacking of courage, she never dared to sing in front of strangers. One summer, the neighborhood where she lived would hold a singing competition. Her best friend, Lucy, came to invite her to participate in the competition, but Emily said, “I’m afraid to take part in it.” Her mother said, “It’s okay; just do it bravely.” Emily followed her mama’s advice and decided to give herself a try. The day came. Emily and Lucy went to the competition site. But she was too timid (胆小的) to walk onto the stage. She had been waiting until others finished singing. She shakily (颤抖地)forced herself to stand on the stage. She started to sing, but her voice was so low. What’s worse, she was so nervous that she forgot the lyrics (歌词)after singing a few words. Being laughed at by others, embarrassed and shy, she ran away from the stage. Some naughty boys ran after her and said, “Emily, coward (胆小鬼)! Emily, coward!” Emily didn’t argue with them. What she wanted was to go back home as quickly as she could. Finally she rushed into the house, hugged her mom and cried sadly. “Well, my poor girl, don’t cry. Tell me what happened to you,” asked her mom. Emily looked up at her mother and told her what she had experienced. Listening to her, her mom cupped her face and said, “It doesn’t matter, girl. As long as you practice singing more in front of strangers, you will become braver little by little. So, my girl, don’t be beaten by a failure. You can go out to practice singing every day. No matter who is listening to you, go on singing and never stop. I believe there will be a harvest for you.” 注意: 续写词数应为80-100左右。 Emily listened to her mother carefully and followed her mom’s suggestion. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
