D. And Put Away Childish Things. B After twenty years of marriage and two kids, I found myself a single mother. When my husband passed away, I was all the kids had. I had no family to help me where I lived, so I did what any mother would do. At times, I was working sixty-plus hours a week. It wasn’t easy, but my kids never went without and I never missed a bill. One night, I fell into bed worn out. My next memory was waking up in an ambulance with two nurses holding me down. I had no memory of how I got there, and I had a terrible headache. They took me to the hospital, and eventually they concluded I’d simply collapsed from fatigue. When I was released from the hospital, I began to rethink everything. As a single parent, I had to raise the kids myself, and I had to find a better way to do it. In time, I landed a better-paying job, and I was able to once again think about looking after myself. The first thing I did was take up jogging, which helped me get back into shape. I then began teaching aerobics classes so that I could help other women get their lives back. However, my favorite thing to do was go out for dinner with Kay. Every two weeks, Kay and I would go out for dinner. My children were old enough to stay at home alone for several hours. Kay and I never went to any expensive place. My daughter always asked why she never got to meet Kay. I just told her, “Someday.” Time passed quickly, and my children grew up. One day, my daughter asked me again about Kay. “Who was she?” she asked. Ultimately, I explained Kay was my middle name, and that at those nights when I went out, I was alone. She was astonished to learn Kay wasn’t a real person. However, Kay was a real person. She was the part of me who needed to feel special once in a while. 24.

Self-care shouldn’t give way to being busy. C. Having a balanced life is a must for mums. D. Parents should be always taken good care of. C The Liberty Bell is an iconic symbol of American independence located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Put to use in 1752, it first cracked when rung after arriving in Philadelphia, and was twice recast by local workmen John Pass and John Stow, whose last names appeared on the bell. Although no immediate announcement was made of the Second Continental Congress’s vote for independence, bells were rung on July 8 to mark the reading of the Declaration of Independence, with the Liberty Bell believed to be among them. The bell was adopted as a symbol by the organizations supporting freedom, which named it the “Liberty Bell” in the 1830s. In the early 19th century, the Liberty Bell acquired its first large crack, which happened when it was rung after the death of Chief Justice John Marshall in 1835. Although the bell did not ring for independence on July 4, 1776, an 1847 short story claimed that it had, leading to its fame as a symbol of American freedom. From 1885, the City of Philadelphia allowed the bell to go to different events that celebrate the love for one’s country, leading to additional cracking and souvenir hunters chipping pieces away. The bell was later moved to the National Park Service’s custody (监管) after World War II. During the Cold War and the 1960s, the Liberty Bell became a popular site for protests, which was used as a symbol of freedom. So it was moved from its original home in Independence Hall to a nearby glass pavilion (亭) on Independence Mall in 1976 and then to the larger Liberty Bell Center in 2003. Over the years, the bell has appeared on coins, stamps, and in corporate logos. To learn more about the bell’s significance, visitors can take a virtual reality tour or visit the National Park Service’s official website. 28. What is this text mainly about? A. The Liberty Bell and John Marshall. B. The reasons why the Liberty Bell cracked. C. Protests near the Liberty Bell during the Cold War. D. The history and significance of the Liberty Bell. 29. When did the Liberty Bell have the first large crack? A During the Cold War and the 1960s. B. When it arrived in Philadelphia in 1752. C. When it rang for independence on July 4, 1776. D. After the death of Chief Justice John Marshall. 30. Why was the Liberty Bell moved to a nearby glass pavilion on Independence Mall? A. It was used as a popular site for protests. B. It would be replaced with a new one. C. It should have been accessible to visitors. D. It was close to Independence Hall. 31. Where is this text most likely to be published? A. In a history book. B. In a tourism magazine. C. In a book about architecture. D. In a magazine about stamp collection. D Cotton bags have become a means for brands, retailers and supermarkets to show their awareness of environment protection-or, at least, to show that the companies are aware of the overuse of plastic in packaging. “There’s a trend in New York right now where people are carrying such bags from local fast food restaurants, hardware stores or their favorite steakhouses,” says designer Rachel Comey. An organic cotton bag needs to be used 20,000 times to offset its overall impact of production. That equates to daily use for 54 years-for just one bag. Cotton is water-intensive, and figuring out how to deal with a bag in an environmentally low-impact way is not nearly as simple as people think. You can’t, for example, just put a cotton bag in a compost bin (堆肥箱), and only 15 percent of the 30 million tons of cotton produced every year actually makes its way to textile products. Even when cotton bags do make it to a treatment plant, most dyes used to print logos onto them are PVC-based and thus not recyclable; they’re extremely difficult to break down chemically. Printed patterns have to be cut out of the cloth. That’s not to say cotton is worse than plastic, or that the two should even be compared. While growing cotton can use pesticides and has dried up rivers for water consumption, lightweight plastic bags use fossil fuels, never biodegrade and block up the ocean. Buffy Reid, of the knitwear brand & Daughter, stopped the production of her cotton bags in April this year. Aesop is changing the composition of its shopping bags to a 60-40 blend of recycled and organic cotton. “It will cost us 15 percent more,” said Suzanne Santos, “but it reduces water by 70 percent to 80 percent.” “In the end, the simplest solution maybe the most obvious. Not every product needs a bag,” Comey says. 32. What can we infer from Rachel’s words in paragraph 1? A. New Yorkers take a lead in fashion. B. People consider cotton bags earth-friendly. C. Many companies are aware of environment protection. D. Various stores don’t provide shoppers plastic bags. 33. What does the underlined word “offset” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Team up with. B. Add up to. C. Put up with. D. Make up for. 34. What is implied about cotton bags in paragraph 3? A. They can cause environmental problems. B. They are popular due to PVC-based logos. C They can be recycled in a treatment plant. D. They can be broken down by chemicals easily. 35. Which of the following is Comey’s suggestion? A. Trying to follow the trend. B. Cutting the use of cotton bags. C. Replacing cotton bags with plastic ones. D. Improving the way of making cotton bags. 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。 How to stop laughing at inappropriate times Although laughing at inappropriate times can be embarrassing, it’s actually a natural reaction for some people when they’re facing a highly stressful situation.

He wanted to be the first to wish everyone a happy New Year. He looked in every room, and shouted “Happy New Year”. He ran into the street to repeat the words to those he might meet. When he came back, his father gave him two dollars. His face lighted up as he took the money. He had wished for a long time to buy some books that he had seen at the bookstore. He left the house with a light heart to buy the books. As he ran down the street, he saw a poor foreign family-the father, the mother, and three children shivering with cold. “I wish you a happy New Year,” said Edward, as he was happily passing by. The father shook his head. “You do not belong to this country?” asked Edward. The man shook his head again, for he could not understand or speak the English language. But he pointed to his mouth and to the children, as if to say, “These little ones have had nothing to eat for a long time.” Edward quickly understood that these people were in a very difficult situation and needed some help. He took out his dollars, and gave one to the man, and the other to his wife. How their eyes sparkled (闪耀) with gratitude! They said something in their language, which doubtlessly meant, “We thank you a thousand times, and will remember you all the time.” When Edward came home, his father asked what book he had bought. He hung his head a moment, but quickly looked up. “I have bought no books,” he said. 注意： (1) 续写词数应为150个左右； (2) 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 “I think I can wait for my books till next New Year,” he continued. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, Edward was stopped by his father. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高二年级下学期期末考试模拟卷 英语试卷 (120分钟 150分) 考试范围：必修第一至第三册20%;选择性必修第一至第四册80% 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】 When does the post office open?

When her husband died in 1996, she fought for him to be regarded as the creator of Superman when the character appeared in films and TV shows. In 2006, Joanne won her court case, and won a second court case in 2008. Not only did she make sure her husband’s memory was honored, but she managed to get the money they were due. With the money, her daughter and grandchildren would be taken good care of. She died a few years later in 2011, in their family home in California. 第二部分 阅读(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A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Explore four exciting new books in the world of fiction in 2023, ranging from science fantasy to murder mystery.

When my husband passed away, I was all the kids had. I had no family to help me where I lived, so I did what any mother would do. At times, I was working sixty-plus hours a week. It wasn’t easy, but my kids never went without and I never missed a bill. One night, I fell into bed worn out. My next memory was waking up in an ambulance with two nurses holding me down. I had no memory of how I got there, and I had a terrible headache. They took me to the hospital, and eventually they concluded I’d simply collapsed from fatigue. When I was released from the hospital, I began to rethink everything. As a single parent, I had to raise the kids myself, and I had to find a better way to do it. In time, I landed a better-paying job, and I was able to once again think about looking after myself. The first thing I did was take up jogging, which helped me get back into shape. I then began teaching aerobics classes so that I could help other women get their lives back. However, my favorite thing to do was go out for dinner with Kay. Every two weeks, Kay and I would go out for dinner. My children were old enough to stay at home alone for several hours. Kay and I never went to any expensive place. My daughter always asked why she never got to meet Kay. I just told her, “Someday.” Time passed quickly, and my children grew up. One day, my daughter asked me again about Kay. “Who was she?” she asked. Ultimately, I explained Kay was my middle name, and that at those nights when I went out, I was alone. She was astonished to learn Kay wasn’t a real person. However, Kay was a real person. She was the part of me who needed to feel special once in a while. 24. What did the author most probably think of being a single mother? A. It was rewarding. B. It was amazing. C. It was frustrating. D. It was tough. 25. What does the underlined word “fatigue” mean in paragraph 2? A. Carelessness. B. Disorder. C. Tiredness. D. Hunger. 26. What was the author’s real purpose of going out with Kay regularly? A. To relax herself. B. To socialize more. C. To seek support. D. To have a dinner. 27. What lesson does the author intend to show by telling this story? A. Having a right dinner companion counts. B. Self-care shouldn’t give way to being busy. C. Having a balanced life is a must for mums. D. Parents should be always taken good care of. 【答案】24. D 25. C 26. A 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在成为单亲母亲后的生活经历、挑战、自我调整与成长，以及如何通过创造“Kay”这一角色来满足自己偶尔需要感到特别的心理需求。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“After twenty years of marriage and two kids, I found myself a single mother. When my husband passed away, I was all the kids had. I had no family to help me where I lived, so I did what any mother would do. At times, I was working sixty-plus hours a week. It wasn’t easy, but my kids never went without and I never missed a bill.(结婚二十载，育有两个孩子后，我成了一名单亲妈妈。丈夫离世时，孩子们只剩我这唯一的依靠。我住的地方没有家人能帮衬，于是我做了所有母亲都会做的事——有时一周工作六十多个小时。日子不易，但我从未让孩子缺衣少食，也从未拖欠过账单。)”可知，作者作为单亲妈妈时每周工作六十多小时，生活不易。故选D。 【25题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线单词所在语境“One night, I fell into bed worn out. My next memory was waking up in an ambulance with two nurses holding me down. I had no memory of how I got there, and I had a terrible headache. They took me to the hospital, and eventually they concluded I’d simply collapsed from fatigue.(一天夜里，我精疲力尽地倒在床上。再次醒来时，发现自己躺在救护车里，两名护士正按住我。我完全不记得如何到了那里，只觉得头痛欲裂。他们把我送到医院，最终诊断我只是因……而晕倒。)”中的“worn out”可推测，作者是因为筋疲力尽而晕倒。划线单词和“worn out”词义相似。选项C“tiredness”意为“疲劳”与此相符。故选C。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“One day, my daughter asked me again about Kay. “Who was she?” she asked. Ultimately, I explained Kay was my middle name, and that at those nights when I went out, I was alone. She was astonished to learn Kay wasn’t a real person. However, Kay was a real person. She was the part of me who needed to feel special once in a while.( 一天，女儿又问起Kay：“她到底是谁？”最终我解释说，Kay是我的中间名，那些晚上我其实是独自外出。得知Kay并非真实存在的人，她惊讶不已。但在我心里，Kay是真实的 ——她是我内心那个偶尔需要感受独特性的部分。)”可知，作者以中间名Kay指代独自外出的时光，其真实目的是通过独处放松自己，满足内心偶尔需要感受独特性的需求。故选A。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，作者通过自身经历强调在忙碌的生活中自我照顾的重要性。文中她因过度劳累晕倒，出院后重新调整生活，通过慢跑、独处等方式关注自身需求，最终领悟到Kay 代表内心对自我关怀的渴望。选项B“Self-care shouldn’t give way to being busy(自我照顾不应为忙碌让路)”与文中“重新审视生活、开始照顾自己”的核心逻辑一致，符合作者通过故事传达的教训。故选B。 C The Liberty Bell is an iconic symbol of American independence located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Put to use in 1752, it first cracked when rung after arriving in Philadelphia, and was twice recast by local workmen John Pass and John Stow, whose last names appeared on the bell. Although no immediate announcement was made of the Second Continental Congress’s vote for independence, bells were rung on July 8 to mark the reading of the Declaration of Independence, with the Liberty Bell believed to be among them. The bell was adopted as a symbol by the organizations supporting freedom, which named it the “Liberty Bell” in the 1830s. In the early 19th century, the Liberty Bell acquired its first large crack, which happened when it was rung after the death of Chief Justice John Marshall in 1835. Although the bell did not ring for independence on July 4, 1776, an 1847 short story claimed that it had, leading to its fame as a symbol of American freedom. From 1885, the City of Philadelphia allowed the bell to go to different events that celebrate the love for one’s country, leading to additional cracking and souvenir hunters chipping pieces away. The bell was later moved to the National Park Service’s custody (监管) after World War II. During the Cold War and the 1960s, the Liberty Bell became a popular site for protests, which was used as a symbol of freedom. So it was moved from its original home in Independence Hall to a nearby glass pavilion (亭) on Independence Mall in 1976 and then to the larger Liberty Bell Center in 2003. Over the years, the bell has appeared on coins, stamps, and in corporate logos. To learn more about the bell’s significance, visitors can take a virtual reality tour or visit the National Park Service’s official website. 28. What is this text mainly about? A. The Liberty Bell and John Marshall. B. The reasons why the Liberty Bell cracked. C. Protests near the Liberty Bell during the Cold War. D. The history and significance of the Liberty Bell. 29. When did the Liberty Bell have the first large crack? A. During the Cold War and the 1960s. B. When it arrived in Philadelphia in 1752. C. When it rang for independence on July 4, 1776. D. After the death of Chief Justice John Marshall. 30. Why was the Liberty Bell moved to a nearby glass pavilion on Independence Mall? A. It was used as a popular site for protests. B. It would be replaced with a new one. C. It should have been accessible to visitors. D. It was close to Independence Hall. 31. Where is this text most likely to be published? A. In a history book. B. In a tourism magazine. C. In a book about architecture. D. In a magazine about stamp collection. 【答案】28. D 29. D 30. A 31. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，本文主要介绍了美国自由钟的历史和意义。 【28题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合第一段“The Liberty Bell is an iconic symbol of American independence located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Put to use in 1752, it first cracked when rung after arriving in Philadelphia, and was twice recast by local workmen John Pass and John Stow, whose last names appeared on the bell.(自由钟是位于宾夕法尼亚州费城的美国独立的标志性象征。1752年投入使用，到达费城后第一次敲响时破裂，由当地工人John Pass和John Stow两次重铸，他们的姓氏出现在钟上)”可知，文章主要介绍了自由钟的历史和意义，故选D。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“In the early 19th century, the Liberty Bell acquired its first large crack, which happened when it was rung after the death of Chief Justice John Marshall in 1835.(19世纪早期，1835年首席大法官John Marshall去世后，自由钟在敲响时出现了第一次大裂缝)”可知，自由钟在首席大法官John Marshall去世后被敲响时首次出现了巨大的裂缝，故选D。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段前两句“During the Cold War and the 1960s, the Liberty Bell became a popular site for protests, which was used as a symbol of freedom. So it was moved from its original home in Independence Hall to a nearby glass pavilion (亭) on Independence Mall in 1976 and then to the larger Liberty Bell Center in 2003.(在冷战和20世纪60年代，自由钟成为抗议活动的热门地点，被用作自由的象征。因此，1976年，它从独立大厅的原址搬到了独立广场附近的玻璃馆，2003年又搬到了更大的自由钟中心)”可知，自由钟成了一个受欢迎的抗议场所，因此自由钟被移到附近的玻璃亭中，故选A。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“To learn more about the bell’s significance, visitors can take a virtual reality tour or visit the National Park Service’s official website.(要了解更多关于钟的意义，游客可以参加虚拟现实之旅或访问国家公园管理局的官方网站)”可知，本文最有可能出现在旅游杂志中，故选B。 D Cotton bags have become a means for brands, retailers and supermarkets to show their awareness of environment protection-or, at least, to show that the companies are aware of the overuse of plastic in packaging. “There’s a trend in New York right now where people are carrying such bags from local fast food restaurants, hardware stores or their favorite steakhouses,” says designer Rachel Comey. An organic cotton bag needs to be used 20,000 times to offset its overall impact of production. That equates to daily use for 54 years-for just one bag. Cotton is water-intensive, and figuring out how to deal with a bag in an environmentally low-impact way is not nearly as simple as people think. You can’t, for example, just put a cotton bag in a compost bin (堆肥箱), and only 15 percent of the 30 million tons of cotton produced every year actually makes its way to textile products. Even when cotton bags do make it to a treatment plant, most dyes used to print logos onto them are PVC-based and thus not recyclable; they’re extremely difficult to break down chemically. Printed patterns have to be cut out of the cloth. That’s not to say cotton is worse than plastic, or that the two should even be compared. While growing cotton can use pesticides and has dried up rivers for water consumption, lightweight plastic bags use fossil fuels, never biodegrade and block up the ocean. Buffy Reid, of the knitwear brand & Daughter, stopped the production of her cotton bags in April this year. Aesop is changing the composition of its shopping bags to a 60-40 blend of recycled and organic cotton. “It will cost us 15 percent more,” said Suzanne Santos, “but it reduces water by 70 percent to 80 percent.” “In the end, the simplest solution maybe the most obvious. Not every product needs a bag,” Comey says. 32. What can we infer from Rachel’s words in paragraph 1? A. New Yorkers take a lead in fashion. B. People consider cotton bags earth-friendly. C. Many companies are aware of environment protection. D. Various stores don’t provide shoppers plastic bags. 33. What does the underlined word “offset” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Team up with. B. Add up to. C. Put up with. D. Make up for. 34. What is implied about cotton bags in paragraph 3? A. They can cause environmental problems. B. They are popular due to PVC-based logos. C. They can be recycled in a treatment plant. D. They can be broken down by chemicals easily. 35. Which of the following is Comey’s suggestion? A. Trying to follow the trend. B. Cutting the use of cotton bags. C. Replacing cotton bags with plastic ones. D. Improving the way of making cotton bags. 【答案】32. B 33. D 34. A 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了棉袋作为环保替代品所存在的问题，包括其生产对环境的影响、处理难度以及与塑料袋的比较等，并提出了减少使用棉袋的简单解决方案。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段中“Cotton bags have become a means for brands, retailers and supermarkets to show their awareness of environment protection-or, at least, to show that the companies are aware of the overuse of plastic in packaging. (棉袋已成为品牌、零售商和超市展示其环保意识的一种手段，或者至少表明这些公司意识到包装中塑料的过度使用)”以及““There’s a trend in New York right now where people are carrying such bags from local fast food restaurants, hardware stores or their favorite steakhouses,” says designer Rachel Comey. (设计师Rachel Comey说：“现在纽约有一种趋势，人们从当地的快餐店、五金店或他们最喜欢的牛排馆带着这样的袋子。”)”可知，商家都会用棉布手提袋来显示自己的环保意识，而且纽约当下掀起了一股背环保购物袋的潮流。由此可推知，人们认为棉布手提袋是环保的。故选B。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。 由文章第二段中划线词所在的句子“An organic cotton bag needs to be used 20,000 times (一个有机棉布手提袋需要被使用2万次)”和“its overall impact of production. That equates to daily use for 54 years-for just one bag. (其生产的整体影响。这相当于一个袋子每天使用54年)”可知，一个有机棉布手提袋需要被使用2万次。也就是说，必须坚持使用一个棉布手提袋长达54年，才能弥补其在生产过程中对环境产生的总体影响，由此可知，offset意为“抵消，弥补”，与“Make up for”意思相近。故选D。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。 由文章第三段中“You can’t, for example, just put a cotton bag in a compost bin (堆肥箱), and only 15 percent of the 30 million tons of cotton produced every year actually makes its way to textile products.Even when cotton bags do make it to a treatment plant, most dyes used to print logos onto them are PVC-based and thus not recyclable; they’re extremely difficult to break down chemically. Printed patterns have to be cut out of the cloth. (例如，你不能把一个棉袋放在堆肥箱里，每年生产的3000万吨棉花中只有15%真正用于纺织产品。即使棉袋确实被送到了处理厂，但大多数用于在上面印制标志的染料都是基于PVC的，因此不可回收；它们极难被化学分解。印制的图案必须从布料上剪下来)”可知，棉袋不能直接被放进堆肥箱。即使棉袋进入了垃圾处理厂，多数用于印刷商标的染料都是聚氯乙烯材质的，无法被回收利用，且极难被分解。由此可推知，棉袋会造成环境问题。故选A。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。 由文章最后一段中““In the end, the simplest solution maybe the most obvious. Not every product needs a bag,” Comey says. (“最终，最简单的解决方案也许是最明显的。并不是每个产品都需要一个袋子，” Comey说)”可知， Comey认为并不是每个产品都需要一个袋子，由此可知，Comey的建议是减少棉袋的使用。故选B。 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。 How to stop laughing at inappropriate times Although laughing at inappropriate times can be embarrassing, it’s actually a natural reaction for some people when they’re facing a highly stressful situation.

Try something to shift your thoughts away from what’s setting off your laughter.(学会抑制发笑的倾向需要时间，但在此期间，分散注意力是一种简单的方法。尝试做些事情，让你的思绪从引发发笑的事情上转移开。)”可知，本段主要讲述的是分散注意力。选项C“Distract yourself from your urge to laugh.(分散想笑的冲动。)”准确概括了本段内容。故选C。 【37题详解】 空前“Do you laugh out of nervousness?(你是因为紧张而笑吗？)”提出疑问，属于对发笑原因的列举。选项D“Do you laugh to deal with painful feelings?(你发笑是为了应对痛苦的情绪吗？)”与上文结构一致，继续通过疑问句引导读者分析其他可能的原因（如处理痛苦情绪），与上下文形成并列的设问逻辑。故选D。 【38题详解】 根据段首句“Choose replacement behavior for the laughter.(为发笑选择替代行为。)”可知，本段主题是选择替代发笑的行为。而空后“What you decide to replace your laughter with depends on the circumstances that are causing your laughter. For example, you may laugh nervously during work meetings. If this is the case, click your pen instead of laughing.(你决定用什么来替代发笑，取决于导致你发笑的具体情境。例如，你可能在工作会议上紧张地发笑。如果是这样的话，就按动钢笔来代替发笑。)”举例说明可以如何替代发笑的行为。选项G“You can nod, breathe slowly, or click a pen.(你可以点头、慢慢呼吸，或者按动钢笔。)”列举了具体的替代动作（点头、慢呼吸、按笔），与后文例子呼应，符合语境。故选G。 【39题详解】 空处为段首句，为本段主要内容。根据下文“Since you know what’s making you laugh and what you can do instead, tell yourself to follow through with the new behavior. Reviewing your plan in your mind makes it more likely that you’ll be able to follow through.(既然你知道是什么让你发笑，也知道可以用什么来替代，那就告诉自己要坚持新行为。在脑海中回顾你的计划，会让你更有可能坚持下去。)”可知，本段主要围绕制定计划展开。选项B“Create a plan for replacing your laughter.(制定替代发笑的计划。)”直接点明段落主旨，逻辑连贯。故选B。 【40题详解】 根据段首句“Practice mindfulness (专注).(练习专注。)”可知，本段主题为练习正念。而空后“Besides, it helps keep you aware of your surroundings. This in turn, can help prevent laughing caused by distracting thoughts.(此外，它还能帮助你留意周围的环境，这反过来又能帮助防止因分心的想法而发笑。)”中的“it”指代正念的作用。选项E“Practicing mindfulness can help keep you present.(练习专注可以帮助你保持专注当下。)”中的“Practicing mindfulness can help keep you present”既承接了“mindfulness”的主题，又通过“keep you present”与后文“aware of your surroundings”形成递进关系，解释了正念如何预防发笑。故选E。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Today is really special for Tony but two years ago, when he ____41____ before the whole class, he always made a ____42____ sound while saying the letter “W”.

He wanted to be the first to wish everyone a happy New Year. He looked in every room, and shouted “Happy New Year”. He ran into the street to repeat the words to those he might meet. When he came back, his father gave him two dollars. His face lighted up as he took the money. He had wished for a long time to buy some books that he had seen at the bookstore. He left the house with a light heart to buy the books. As he ran down the street, he saw a poor foreign family-the father, the mother, and three children shivering with cold. “I wish you a happy New Year,” said Edward, as he was happily passing by. The father shook his head. “You do not belong to this country?” asked Edward. The man shook his head again, for he could not understand or speak the English language. But he pointed to his mouth and to the children, as if to say, “These little ones have had nothing to eat for a long time.” Edward quickly understood that these people were in a very difficult situation and needed some help. He took out his dollars, and gave one to the man, and the other to his wife. How their eyes sparkled (闪耀) with gratitude! They said something in their language, which doubtlessly meant, “We thank you a thousand times, and will remember you all the time.” When Edward came home, his father asked what book he had bought. He hung his head a moment, but quickly looked up. “I have bought no books,” he said. 注意： (1) 续写词数应为150个左右； (2) 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 “I think I can wait for my books till next New Year,” he continued. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, Edward was stopped by his father. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: “I think I can wait for my books till next New Year,” he continued. His father looked at him with a blank look. “What happened, my son?” Edward explained, “It was a poor family that was badly in need of help. They even didn’t have enough clothes to wear and their children were hungry. So I gave the money to them without hesitation.” Edward’s explanation made his father understand what had happened and he expressed that he couldn’t agree more with him. “Never can we turn a blind eye to those in need. What you have done will make a happy New year,” his father said. The next day Edward was stopped by his father. To his delight, his father bought the books for him in praise of the work he did. Holding the books in his arms, Edward felt he was the happiest boy in the world. He hugged his father and gave him a big kiss. A few days later, Edward met the poor family again, and they still thanked him a thousand times. He understood the sweetness of helping others. 【解析】 【导语】本文以爱德华的新年经历为线索，讲述了新年早晨爱德华收到父亲给的两美元，本想买心仪已久的书，却在街头遇到一家贫困的外国家庭，他们饥寒交迫，爱德华便将钱都给了他们，回家后向父亲说明情况的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容““我想我可以等到明年新年再要我的书，”他接着说。”可知，第一段可描写父亲起初的疑惑，爱德华向父亲讲述遇到贫困家庭并给予帮助的经过，父亲对他的行为表示赞同和肯定，认为帮助他人能让新年更有意义。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天，爱德华被他父亲叫住了。”可知，第二段可描写父亲为了表扬爱德华的善举，给他买了想要的书，爱德华的喜悦之情，以及几天后他再次遇到那家人，感受到帮助他人的甜蜜。 2. 续写线索：解释原因——父亲理解——父亲赞许——父亲叫住——赠送书籍——爱德华开心——偶遇恩人——感悟助人之乐 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①忽视：turn a blind eye to /ignore/overlook ②购买：bought/purchase ③拥抱：hugged/embrace 情绪类 ①疑惑：blank look/puzzlement ②喜悦：delight/joy/happiness 【点睛】[高分句型1] Edward’s explanation made his father understand what had happened and he expressed that he couldn’t agree more with him.（运用了what引导宾语从句作understand的宾语以及that引导宾语从句作expressed的宾语） [高分句型2] Never can we turn a blind eye to those in need.（运用了否定词never置于句首，句子用部分倒装） [高分句型3] Holding the books in his arms, Edward felt he was the happiest boy in the world.（运用了现在分词短语作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$第一部分听力。第一节听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3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。I wonder why the post office is still not open.
