The following festivals offer a wealth of organized walks, but walkers should register in advance. Gower walking festival Gower walking festival returns, with nine days of thirty walks! Nearly half the walks will take place in the Coast Path. Some of the walks are dog-friendly, and there is something for all, from those who prefer a gentle stroll to the serious long-distance walker. Simply click on the Book Ticket button which takes you through to the TicketSource booking system where you can pay for your walk online. Glamorgan, 2-10 September Prestatyn and Clwydian Range festival Visitors to Wales tend to move west. There are 25 walks packed into the three days, with various options available, including a half-mile Roman-themed adventure, an eight-mile walk exploring the life of 18th-century Welsh naturalist and travel writer Thomas Pennant and a 31-mile Offa’s Dyke challenge. All walks are free.

Which festival has dog-friendly walks? A. Gower walking festival. B. Prestatyn and Clwydian Range festival. C. Otley walking festival. D. Dartmoor offroading walking festival. 2.

Often, I stared into the mirror and whispered to myself. “If I didn’t have this scar, I would be also a handsome boy. Maybe people would like me more.” One day, I delivered a speech in front of my class about the significance of the “Treaty of Versailles”. After my speech, the teacher called to me, “Ashleigh, how is it that you are so good at public speaking?” She continued, “What do you want to be in the future?” My heart fell into my shoes. I didn’t know who exactly I wanted to be. “Well,” I said, taking a moment to think, “I have a keen interest in social issues. I can see myself in government, some kind of leadership role. And I love speaking in front of crowds. I feel the power to motivate an audience to take action.” My teacher nodded approvingly, “Ashleigh, I’d like to suggest you consider a career in politics.” My eyes lit up. I had never felt more enlightened. I made a promise to my teacher that I would become a leader who would protect human rights. The decision I made that day shifted everything for me, and since then, I have continued to pursue my dreams with passion. Being born with a cleft lip gave me experiences that have become my motivation to empower others. I know the importance of embracing being different, whether it be a cleft lip or another severe condition. It takes courage to stand out and overcome the challenges that come along with being different. But it’s also what makes me understand more about other people’s feelings or emotions. And now, instead of looking in the mirror and feeling I was born different, I see myself as the mirror, the mirror for those who feel different to see what they are capable of if they put their minds to it. 4. How did the author use to feel about the cleft lip? A. Grief. B. Pleased. C. Self-pity. D. Self-assured. 5. Why did the teacher have a talk with the author? A. To interest him in social issues. B. To praise his public speaking skills. C. To assign the topic of the next speech. D. To inspire him to find his real passion. 6. In which aspect does the author benefit from being different? A. Being absorbed in study. B. Having sympathy for others. C. Falling love with social issues. D. Persevering in public speaking. 7. What does the author want to tell us? A. Dreams are worth pursuing. B. A good teacher is a blessing. C. Being unique can be powerful. D. Loving yourself is a hard thing to do. C Irrigation (灌溉) has moved so much water from land to sea that Earth’s rotation (转动) might have measurably shifted. Computer mathematics suggests that from 1993 through 2010, irrigation alone slightly pushed the North Pole by about 78 centimeters, researchers reported in Geophysical Research Letters. Researchers have long known that the North Pole wanders across the Arctic in a circle. Seasonal weather patterns cause part of this movement, and long-term variations in the temperature and salt concentration of ocean water help drive a 14-month-long swing. Another driver is the movement of land-based water to the sea from melting glaciers worldwide and from ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica. Water from irrigation also plays a role—and a surprisingly large one. In the first study to try and tease out the contributions of these water movements, Clark Wilson, a geophysicist at the University of Texas, and his colleagues used computer simulations to assess how various water movements might affect the polar shift. Previous studies have suggested that irrigation shifted about 2 trillion metric tons of water from land to the oceans from 1993 through 2010—enough to raise the global sea level more than 6 millimeters. Although seemingly small, that was enough to shift the North Pole just over four centimeters each year on average during that period, the team found.  When all sources of water movement are considered, the North Pole moved about 1.6 meters toward the east coast of Greenland in that time. The impact of irrigation was mostly to push the pole generally east of where it would have gone otherwise, the team found. Without irrigation, the pole would have moved nearly the same amount, but toward the center of Greenland instead. Unlike other drivers that vary over the course of a year, Wilson says, the polar shift due to irrigation is permanent and probably growing each year. “The team’s findings all make sense,” says Jay Famiglietti, a hydrologist at Arizona State University. “It’s important to realize that water is heavy, and when it moves around it’s going to affect Earth’s rotation.” 8. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The North Pole wandering in a circle. B. Drivers behind the polar movement. C. Melting glaciers caused by climate changes. D. The current situations of Greenland and Antarctica. 9. What does the underlined “tease out” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Find out. B. Test out. C. Mix up. D. Rely on. 10. What is the effect of irrigation according to the text? A. The area of Greenland shrinks slightly. B. The global sea level rises 6 millimeters. C. It increases the amount of groundwater. D. It causes the permanent polar movement. 11. What is Famiglietti’s attitude towards the team’s findings? A. Unclear. B. Doubtful. C. Approving. D. Dismissive. D When you enjoy your morning cup of tea, you are probably not aware that those tea leaves can mean injury, or even death, for Asian elephants wandering Indian tea gardens. In the Indian state of Assam, growing numbers of tea farms are destroying the Asian elephant's habitats and endangering their population. Much of the forest land where tea is grown in Assam is flat and thus farmers must dig drainage trenches (排水沟) or small channels to prevent water from accumulating and hurting the plants. The trenches, however, can be death traps for the elephants. Since the elephants need to use tea plantations as landmarks when traveling in forests, they almost unavoidably have to move through the farms. Moreover, because there are fewer humans around, pregnant females often use tea-growing areas as safe shelters to give birth. But baby elephants, still not used to rough ground may easily fall into the trenches and get hurt. Once injured, they might not be able to climb out. When mothers try to dig their babies out, both may be trapped in thick mud, even be killed. Furthermore, elephants are known to resist leaving their sick or dying behind, and a group may stay at a trench with a trapped baby for hours, unwilling to move on until all hope is lost. Is there possibility for elephants to live in harmony with the booming tea business? Elephant Friendly Tea is an organization that takes the initiative to make it possible. The organization encourages consumers to choose brands that take an active part in elephants' protection, and has established a certification program to reward tea growers who are doing it right. Until now, only smaller tea brands have been certified, but awareness is growing. The organization believes that people may be encouraged to buy elephant-friendly brands when they know more about the risk tea can cause to these endangered animals. 12. Why do farmers in Assam dig drainage trenches? A. To trap elephants. B. To mark boundaries. C. To protect tea plants. D. To expand tea farms. 13. What do we know about baby elephants? A. They may get stuck by the sharp branches of tea plants. B. They have difficulty moving around the uneven fields. C. They might miss the landmarks while travelling in forests. D. They fail to find a safe shelter after climbing out of the trenches. 14. What is the main objective of the organization Elephant Friendly Tea? A. To promote the consumption of more tea. B. To advertise elephant-friendly tea brands. C. To establish tea plantations friendly to elephants. D. To encourage people to support brands protecting elephants. 15. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A The trenches pose threats to elephants B. Habitat loss affects endangered animals C. Growth of tea gardens benefits plantations D. Farms sponsor environmental organizations 第二节　(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 For hundreds of years, possibly much longer, hot pot has always been one of China’s most popular foods.

As my mother was feeling a little under the weather, my sister volunteered to drive me to school. I had overslept and as a result, was running a bit late for school. We got into the car hurriedly. The road was already crowded with traffic. It appeared that everyone was late as well. My sister was a careful driver and despite the fact that I was already late, she refused to drive fast on the slippery road. I was lucky she was such a resolute and careful person because a few hundred meters away from the school, we witnessed a tragic accident. It all happened very quickly, as most accidents do. A car full of school children had made a left turning without signaling and as a result, a school bus crashed into it. A few cars behind the school bus rammed into the bus as they could not brake in time and soon it became a pile-up. The already crowded road became jammed with vehicles that came to a crawl. I told my sister that I wanted to help the victims and she nodded silently. She stopped the car not too far from the accident spot. The scene that greeted us was something I would never forget. It left an unforgettable memory in my mind to date. The impact of the accident had made the school children seriously injured in the car. The driver, a lady, lay on the steering wheel. I rushed to the children who were preschoolers. Two of them were seriously hurt and bleeding from the heads and hands. They were conscious although too weak to realize what had happened. In the meantime, passers-by had called the ambulance and while waiting we tried as best as possible to help the victims. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The passengers on the school bus were injured too. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When I arrived at school, I was already late for half an hour. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高二英语 (120分钟 150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.Where is the library building?

Computer mathematics suggests that from 1993 through 2010, irrigation alone slightly pushed the North Pole by about 78 centimeters, researchers reported in Geophysical Research Letters. Researchers have long known that the North Pole wanders across the Arctic in a circle. Seasonal weather patterns cause part of this movement, and long-term variations in the temperature and salt concentration of ocean water help drive a 14-month-long swing. Another driver is the movement of land-based water to the sea from melting glaciers worldwide and from ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica. Water from irrigation also plays a role—and a surprisingly large one. In the first study to try and tease out the contributions of these water movements, Clark Wilson, a geophysicist at the University of Texas, and his colleagues used computer simulations to assess how various water movements might affect the polar shift. Previous studies have suggested that irrigation shifted about 2 trillion metric tons of water from land to the oceans from 1993 through 2010—enough to raise the global sea level more than 6 millimeters. Although seemingly small, that was enough to shift the North Pole just over four centimeters each year on average during that period, the team found.  When all sources of water movement are considered, the North Pole moved about 1.6 meters toward the east coast of Greenland in that time. The impact of irrigation was mostly to push the pole generally east of where it would have gone otherwise, the team found. Without irrigation, the pole would have moved nearly the same amount, but toward the center of Greenland instead. Unlike other drivers that vary over the course of a year, Wilson says, the polar shift due to irrigation is permanent and probably growing each year. “The team’s findings all make sense,” says Jay Famiglietti, a hydrologist at Arizona State University. “It’s important to realize that water is heavy, and when it moves around it’s going to affect Earth’s rotation.” 8. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The North Pole wandering in a circle. B. Drivers behind the polar movement. C. Melting glaciers caused by climate changes. D. The current situations of Greenland and Antarctica. 9. What does the underlined “tease out” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Find out. B. Test out. C. Mix up. D. Rely on. 10. What is the effect of irrigation according to the text? A. The area of Greenland shrinks slightly. B. The global sea level rises 6 millimeters. C. It increases the amount of groundwater. D. It causes the permanent polar movement. 11. What is Famiglietti’s attitude towards the team’s findings? A. Unclear. B. Doubtful. C. Approving. D. Dismissive. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了灌溉等水流运动对地球自转（尤其是北极位置偏移）的影响。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Seasonal weather patterns cause part of this movement, and long-term variations in the temperature and salt concentration of ocean water help drive a 14-month-long swing. Another driver is the movement of land-based water to the sea from melting glaciers worldwide and from ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica.(季节性天气模式是造成这种（海洋环流等）部分变化的原因，而海水温度和盐浓度的长期变化则助推了长达 14 个月的周期性摆动。另一个驱动因素是陆地水向海洋的流动，这些水来自世界各地融化的冰川以及格陵兰岛和南极洲的冰盖。)”可知，第二段的主要内容是极地运动背后的驱动力。故选B。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“a geophysicist at the University of Texas, and his colleagues used computer simulations to assess how various water movements might affect the polar shift(Texas大学的一位地球物理学家及其同事利用计算机模拟来评估各种水流运动可能会如何影响极地偏移（或极移）)”可知，划线词所在句子表示“在第一项试图梳理出这些水运动的贡献的研究中，德克萨斯大学的地球物理学家克拉克·威尔逊和他的同事们使用计算机模拟来评估各种水运动如何影响极移”，划线短语tease out的意思是“查明，弄清楚”，和find out意思相近。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Unlike other drivers that vary over the course of a year, Wilson says, the polar shift due to irrigation is permanent and probably growing each year.(威尔逊说，与其他在一年中变化的驱动因素不同，灌溉引起的极移是永久性的，而且可能每年都在增长。)”可知，灌溉的效果是导致了永久的极移。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““The team’s findings all make sense,” says Jay Famiglietti, a hydrologist at Arizona State University.(Arizona州立大学的水文学家Jay Famiglietti说：“研究小组的发现都说得通。”)”可知，Famiglietti对研究小组的发现的态度是赞同的。故选C。 D When you enjoy your morning cup of tea, you are probably not aware that those tea leaves can mean injury, or even death, for Asian elephants wandering Indian tea gardens. In the Indian state of Assam, growing numbers of tea farms are destroying the Asian elephant's habitats and endangering their population. Much of the forest land where tea is grown in Assam is flat and thus farmers must dig drainage trenches (排水沟) or small channels to prevent water from accumulating and hurting the plants. The trenches, however, can be death traps for the elephants. Since the elephants need to use tea plantations as landmarks when traveling in forests they almost unavoidably have to move through the farms. Moreover, because there are fewer humans around, pregnant females often use tea-growing areas as safe shelters to give birth. But baby elephants, still not used to rough ground may easily fall into the trenches and get hurt. Once injured, they might not be able to climb out. When mothers try to dig their babies out, both may be trapped in thick mud, even be killed. Furthermore, elephants are known to resist leaving their sick or dying behind, and a group may stay at a trench with a trapped baby for hours, unwilling to move on until all hope is lost. Is there possibility for elephants to live in harmony with the booming tea business? Elephant Friendly Tea is an organization that takes the initiative to make it possible. The organization encourages consumers to choose brands that take an active part in elephants' protection, and has established a certification program to reward tea growers who are doing it right. Until now, only smaller tea brands have been certified, but awareness is growing. The organization believes that people may be encouraged to buy elephant-friendly brands when they know more about the risk tea can cause to these endangered animals. 12. Why do farmers in Assam dig drainage trenches? A. To trap elephants. B. To mark boundaries. C. To protect tea plants. D. To expand tea farms. 13. What do we know about baby elephants? A. They may get stuck by the sharp branches of tea plants. B. They have difficulty moving around the uneven fields. C. They might miss the landmarks while travelling in forests. D. They fail to find a safe shelter after climbing out of the trenches. 14. What is the main objective of the organization Elephant Friendly Tea? A. To promote the consumption of more tea. B. To advertise elephant-friendly tea brands. C. To establish tea plantations friendly to elephants. D. To encourage people to support brands protecting elephants. 15. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. The trenches pose threats to elephants B. Habitat loss affects endangered animals C. Growth of tea gardens benefits plantations D. Farms sponsor environmental organizations 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了在印度阿萨姆邦，茶园里的排水沟对亚洲象尤其是小象构成了严重威胁，还介绍了“Elephant Friendly Tea”组织为解决这一问题所做的努力。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Much of the forest land where tea is grown in Assam is flat and thus farmers must dig drainage trenches (排水沟) or small channels to prevent water from accumulating and hurting the plants. (阿萨姆邦大部分种植茶叶的林地都是平坦的，因此农民必须挖排水沟或小沟渠，以防止水的积聚和伤害植物。)”可知，阿萨姆邦的农民挖排水沟是为了防止积水伤害茶树，也就是为了保护茶树。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“But baby elephants, still not used to rough ground may easily fall into the trenches and get hurt. Once injured, they might not be able to climb out. (但是小象还不习惯粗糙的地面，很容易掉进战壕里受伤。一旦受伤，它们可能无法爬出来。)” 可知，小象还不习惯崎岖的地面，在不平整的田地里移动有困难，容易掉进沟里受伤。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The organization encourages consumers to choose brands that take an active part in elephants' protection, and has established a certification program to reward tea growers who are doing it right. (该组织鼓励消费者选择积极参与大象保护的品牌，并建立了一个认证项目来奖励那些做得对的茶农。)” 可知，“Elephant Friendly Tea”这个组织的主要目标是鼓励人们选择积极参与大象保护的品牌，也就是鼓励人们支持保护大象的品牌。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了在印度阿萨姆邦，茶园里的排水沟对亚洲象尤其是小象构成了严重威胁，还介绍了“Elephant Friendly Tea”组织为解决这一问题所做的努力。所以A选项“排水沟对大象构成威胁”适合做文章的标题。故选A。 第二节　(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 For hundreds of years, possibly much longer, hot pot has always been one of China’s most popular foods.

As my mother was feeling a little under the weather, my sister volunteered to drive me to school. I had overslept and as a result, was running a bit late for school. We got into the car hurriedly. The road was already crowded with traffic. It appeared that everyone was late as well. My sister was a careful driver and despite the fact that I was already late, she refused to drive fast on the slippery road. I was lucky she was such a resolute and careful person because a few hundred meters away from the school, we witnessed a tragic accident. It all happened very quickly, as most accidents do. A car full of school children had made a left turning without signaling and as a result, a school bus crashed into it. A few cars behind the school bus rammed into the bus as they could not brake in time and soon it became a pile-up. The already crowded road became jammed with vehicles that came to a crawl. I told my sister that I wanted to help the victims and she nodded silently. She stopped the car not too far from the accident spot. The scene that greeted us was something I would never forget. It left an unforgettable memory in my mind to date. The impact of the accident had made the school children seriously injured in the car. The driver, a lady, lay on the steering wheel. I rushed to the children who were preschoolers. Two of them were seriously hurt and bleeding from the heads and hands. They were conscious although too weak to realize what had happened. In the meantime, passers-by had called the ambulance and while waiting we tried as best as possible to help the victims. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The passengers on the school bus were injured too. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When I arrived at school, I was already late for half an hour. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: The passengers on the school bus were injured too. I dashed into the bus and saw the driver who had injuries on the head. While my sister helped him get off the bus, I told the injured school children to stay calm. Most of them appeared to suffer from minor cuts and bruises on their arms and bodies. It was really fortunate that nobody was badly hurt. By then a few adults had entered the bus and together we instructed the children to come out of the bus slowly. The children were crying and screaming for their parents and we had to hug them to keep them quiet. I felt a a great sense of sadness. Meanwhile, two ambulances had arrived. Then the injured were sent to hospital. When I arrived at school, I was already late for half an hour. In fact, many drivers were also late for their work. I informed my teacher of the accident and described in detail what had happened. The teacher praised me for what I had done and encouraged my classmates to learn from my courage to help others.I was so happy. Finally, I promised the teacher that I would not be late again and stressed the importance of careful driving to my classmates. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者的母亲因为身体不舒服，无法送作者上学。故作者的姐姐自告奋勇的开车送我上学。在途中，距离校门口不远处的地方，作者和姐姐目击了一场交通事故。一辆载满学生的汽车在没有打信号的情况下左转，结果一辆校车撞上了它。看到此情此景，作者和姐姐急忙上前帮忙救助，直到专业的救援人员的到来。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“校车上的乘客也受伤了。”可知，第一段可描写的是车上乘客的状况，以及作者具体帮助乘客们的情景，尤其是校车上的孩子们，安抚他们的情绪，等待救援。 ②由第二段首句内容“当我到达学校时，我已经迟到了半个小时。”可知，第二段可描写作者上学迟到，向老师做出解释。老师表扬了我的所作所为，并且用我的个人经历和帮助他人的精神鼓励同学们也要多多帮助别人，更重要的是要意识到小心驾驶的重要性。 2.续写线索：去医院——遇事故——下车帮助——等待救援——到校迟到——解释情况——受到表扬——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.冲进公交车：dash into the bus/rush into the bus ②.哭：cry/howl ③.强调：stress/emphasize 情绪类 ①.伤心：a sense of sadness/heartbroken and absolutely sad ②.开心：feel greatly happy/delighted 【点睛】 [高分句型1].
