I’m wring to tell you about our school’s labor course. To form the students’ correct view of labor, colorful labor programs are open every week. We can help plan vegetables or feed chickens in the school-run farm. Besides, students are also encouraged to participate in community service and voluntary work. Most of us are fascinated by the course because it offers an alternative to our busy school life. Not only are we relaxed but we have gained a higher moral value on life. Yours, Li Hua 第二节 （满分25分） After reading the diary, the son was filled with tears. He began to reflect on the days when he used to sit together with his father. His father would patiently answer the same question all 23 times without feeling impatient while his father asked him the same question just four times! The son thought to himself: When I am old, how will my son look at me? Will he think of me as a burden? Will he shout at me because of my poor sight, poor hearing or poor understanding? Feeling ashamed, the son got down on his knees before his father. He made an apology to his father, begging his father to forgive him for his bad behavior. He said this aloud, “I promise to see you happy forever, Dad. It is you who have cared for me ever since I was a little child, showering your selfless affection on me. You worked hard to make money to guarantee me a quality life. I will serve you in the best way no matter how you behave.” 　 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2025-2026学年高二选择性必修第二册英语单元测试 Unit2·提升卷 学校:___________班级：___________姓名：___________分数：___________ （时间：120分钟，满分：150分） 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分 30 分） 做题时，请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.

In my years working here, four as a teacher and another three as an art department leader, I’ve never seen such a talented graduating class. Over the last two weeks, we’ve seen hundreds of wonderful art projects, from outdoor photo journals to modern paintings that cover the entire walls of the passage to this hall. Plus, given that my specific area in the arts is fashion design, they didn’t learn all that from me! To be honest, all the parents and students here have every reason to feel proud. And next, I’d like to present the following student artists who have been awarded the chance to show their projects and give a short speech to the audience. To begin with, we have James Smith with an amazing Roman-inspired sculpture piece.Next, Jane Goodman will follow him with a short film. And finally, Michael Watts will present some mixed-media art created with the computer. Here, at RISD, we consider all art to be an expression of oneself, one’s passion, and the experience of life. So, let’s put this expression on display. Please, welcome to the stage, our first artist with his project. 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和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A With all work-related books available, finding guidance for one’s professional growth is as simple as ABC. But there’s something special given to us from someone we adore and look up to — mothers. I am blessed to have a mother who is a teacher. Growing up, she always encouraged me to follow what I enjoyed. I never felt the pressure to have to follow a certain career path because of status or finance, or just because it was believed to mean “earning a good living”. She recommended that I follow the path that might bring me the most joy. —Nancy My mom spent her entire career as a nurse. When I was hired as a healthcare consultant, it was an honor to be “Lauran’s daughter”. The best career lesson she taught me is to find my strong points. I didn’t love the hands-on caregiving, but I excelled in marketing healthcare programs. I’ve got the natural talent there, and enjoy my career. —Pat The best career advice I’ve gotten from my mom is that life is easier and happier when you are clear on your top priority (优先权) — and you can only have one top priority. You’ll be better off when you are honest with people about that priority and you give yourself permission to say no to things that are against that priority. —Rebecca The best advice from my mum was to be true to myself. For years, I had tried to succeed by learning from people who had found success in their respective careers. Although it had helped to some degree, when I truly accepted who I was and allowed myself to focus on my unique personality and strength, I found new levels of career growth. —Suzanne 21. What did Nancy’s mother advise her to do? A. Find her strength. B. Accept who she is. C. Know her priority. D. Pursue happiness. 22. What have Pat and Suzanne both learned? A. Develop natural talents. B. Make oneself a priority. C. Focus on one’s strength. D. Be honest with people. 23. In which column of the magazine will you find the text? A. Career guidance. B. Family relation. C. Mental health. D. Professional skills. 【答案】21. D 22. C 23. A 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章通过几个不同职业背景的人分享他们从母亲那里得到的关于职业发展的建议，展现了母爱在个人职业成长中的独特作用。 21. 细节理解题。根据第二段“She recommended that I follow the path that might bring me the most joy.(她建议我走那条可能给我带来最大快乐的路。)”可知，Nancy的母亲建议她追求能带来最大快乐的事情，即追求幸福。故选D。 22. 细节理解题。根据第三段“I excelled in marketing healthcare programs. I’ve got the natural talent there, and enjoy my career.(我在营销医疗项目方面表现出色。我有这方面的天赋，也喜欢我的职业。)”和第四段“when I truly accepted who I was and allowed myself to focus on my unique personality and strength, I found new levels of career growth.(当我真正接受自己，并允许自己专注于自己独特的个性和优势时，我发现了职业发展的新高度。)”可知，Pat和Suzanne都学到了专注于自己的长处。故选C。 23. 推理判断题。根据第一段“With all work-related books available, finding guidance for one’s professional growth is as simple as ABC. But there’s something special given to us from someone we adore and look up to — mothers.(随着所有与工作相关的书籍的出现，寻找职业发展的指导变得像ABC一样简单。但是，我们敬仰和仰慕的人——母亲，给了我们一些特别的东西。)”可知，文章主要围绕母亲给我们的职业发展建议展开，接着列举了几个不同职业背景的人分享他们从母亲那里得到的关于职业发展的建议，因此可以推断这篇文章可能出现在杂志的职业指导专栏中。故选A。 B About once a week, a veterinarian (兽医) Kwane Stewart heads down to San Diego’s East Village to make his rounds, serving the dogs, cats and birds who are the treasured pets of downtown’s homeless community. Stewart’s parents were huge animal lovers. By age 6, he knew he wanted to be a vet. After graduation from a Colorado veterinary science program, he spent the next decade as a veterinarian. In 2008, he worked as head veterinarian at a country-run animal shelter in an area struck by the Great Recession. He saw pets abandoned and the work was extremely depressing. Four years into the shelter job, Stewart said he was burned out with guilt and ready to quit. Then one morning on his way to work, he saw a homeless man and a dog. He treated the dog’s skin condition and the animal was transformed. The owner was beyond grateful and said, “Thanks for not ignoring me and for treating my dog.” “That was the moment for me. I got back to saving animals and doing it on my own terms.” Stewart said. A few weeks later he set up a pop-up veterinary clinic at a soup kitchen, and when clients there suggested he take his services further, his new job as “Street Vet” began. In addition to treating common diseases, Stewart often provides vaccinations (接种疫苗) and general wellness checks. He also promotes “fear-free” pet care. Many of the people Stewart serves are not just grateful for the help but also form a deep bond with him, seeing him as someone who not only treats their pets but also acknowledges their humanity. “I can dream a little bit that people from all over the world will want to emulate what I do. ”Stewart said. Right now, he is building a network of trusted volunteers, technicians with hospitals and clinics. “These are all people who just reached out and said, ‘I’m inspired by what you do. How do I do it?’” he said. 24. What do we know about Steward’s current job? A. He runs an animal shelter. B. He adopts abandoned pets. C. He works for a science program. D. He attends to homeless people's pets. 25. Why is Stewart’s shelter job mentioned? A. To explain his change of career focus. B. To illustrate his professional competence. C. To explore the future of the industry. D. To reflect the challenges of the profession, 26. What do many people think of Steward? A. He’s odd. B. He’s frank. C. He’s humble. D. He’s merciful. 27. What does the underlined word “emulate” in the last paragraph mean? A. Follow the example of. B. Show respect for. C. Put the blame on. D. Pay attention to. 【答案】24. D 25. A 26. D 27. A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了斯图尔特在大学毕业后成为一名兽医，后来因为工作原因，他开始为流浪人群的宠物提供治疗，并获得了很大的反响。 24. 细节理解题。根据第一段“About once a week, a veterinarian Kwane Stewart heads down to San Diego’s East Village to make his rounds, serving the dogs, cats and birds who are the treasured pets of downtown's homeless community. (大约每周一次，兽医克瓦恩·斯图尔特前往圣地亚哥的东村巡视，为市中心无家可归者社区珍爱的宠物狗、猫和鸟提供服务。)”可知，斯图尔特目前的工作是照料无家可归者的宠物。故选D项。 25. 推理判断题。根据第二段中“He saw pets abandoned and the work was extremely depressing. Four years into the shelter job, Stewart said he was burned out with guilt and ready to quit.( 他看到宠物被遗弃，工作非常令人沮丧。在收容所工作了四年后，斯图尔特说他感到内疚，准备辞职。)”以及第三段“Then one morning on his way to work, he saw a homeless man and a dog. He treated the dog's skin condition and the animal was transformed. The owner was beyond grateful and said, “Thanks for not ignoring me and for treating my dog. ” “That was the moment for me. I got back to saving animals and doing it on my own terms. ” Stewart said.( 一天早上，在他上班的路上，他看到一个无家可归的人和一条狗。他治疗了狗的皮肤状况，这只动物被治疗了。主人非常感激地说：“谢谢你没有忽视我，还照顾我的狗。”“对我来说就是那个时刻。我重新开始拯救动物，并按照自己的方式去做。”斯图尔特说。)”和第四段中“A few weeks later he set up a pop-up veterinary clinic at a soup kitchen, and when clients there suggested he take his services further, his new job as “Street Vet” began.(几周后，他在一个施舍处开了一家临时兽医诊所，当那里的客户建议他进一步提供服务时，他的新工作“街头兽医”开始了。)”可推知，文章先讲述斯图尔特在动物收容所的工作经历，因看到宠物被遗弃而感到沮丧，几乎要辞职。之后遇到一位无家可归者和他的狗，给狗治疗后，斯图尔特决定以自己的方式拯救动物，开启了街头兽医的工作。所以提及收容所工作是为了解释他职业重心的转变。故选A项。 26. 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Many of the people Stewart serves are not just grateful for the help but also form a deep bond with him, seeing him as someone who not only treats their pets but also acknowledges their humanity.( 斯图尔特服务的许多人不仅感激他的帮助，而且还与他建立了深厚的联系，认为他不仅善待他们的宠物，而且承认他们的人性。)”可推知，斯图尔特不仅治疗宠物还尊重无家可归者，可见人们认为他仁慈善良。故选D项。 27. 词义猜测题。根据最后一段中“Right now, he is building a network of trusted volunteers, technicians with hospitals and clinics. “These are all people who just reached out and said, ‘I’ m inspired by what you do. How do I do it?’” he said.( 现在，他正在建立一个由值得信赖的志愿者、医院和诊所的技术人员组成的网络。“这些人都愿意提供提援助，说，‘我被你所做的事情所鼓舞。我该怎么做呢？’”他说。)”可知，很多人受斯图尔特启发，询问如何做，说明他希望人们效仿他的做法。“emulate”意思是 “效仿，模仿”，和A选项Follow the example of“效仿”意思相近。 故选A项。 C A new study on baby birds shows that traffic noise can affect their growth and lead to lifelong harm. The finding raises new concerns about the effect of noise pollution on wildlife — and humans as well. Researchers already knew too much noise is likely to disturb birds, making it more difficult for the parents to communicate with and care for their baby birds. But it wasn’t clear whether the noise itself could directly harm young birds. Mylene Mariette, a behavioral ecologist at Deakin University, and her team set out to answer that question with birds held on campus in Melbourne, Australia. For 5 nights in a row, they played eggs either road noise or bird songs for several hours. The sounds were kept at a volume of 65 decibels （分贝）— about the same loudness as a conversation in a bar or city traffic. Other eggs were left in silence. After the eggs hatched, the baby birds received one of two treatments — road noise or bird songs — for another 9 nights. The baby birds heard the sounds in a separate room, and then were returned to their nests. Eggs exposed to traffic sounds were 19% less likely to hatch compared with those exposed to the sound of songs. It shows a clear effect of traffic noise, Mariette says. As the baby birds developed, they also showed worrying development signs. Those exposed to noise grew slower. Moreover, when those birds grew up, they had about half as many offspring （后代） as the birds exposed to songs as youngsters. Hans Slabbekoorn, an ecologist and animal behavior expert at Leiden University, notes that these concerns apply to humans as well. “The findings suggest that the acoustic （听觉的） environment of birds in cities and along highways should be better managed,” he writes, “and that the acoustic comfort in hospital environments for pregnant mothers and babies requires special attention.” Eventually, the research might help reveal how much and in what ways noise pollution should be reduced. 28. What does paragraph 3 mainly focus on about the study? A. Its process. B. Its result. C. Its difficulty. D. Its purpose. 29. How are the findings explained in paragraph 4? A. By giving examples. B. By analyzing reasons. C. By making comparisons. D. By making predictions. 30. What do the findings indicate? A. Move the birds from cities to protected areas. B. Make laws to close highways and other noisy places. C. Educate people on the bad effects of noise pollution. D. Pay special attention to the hospital environment for babies. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Traffic noise helps birds communicate B. Scientists have found ways to reduce noise C. Hospital environments are greatly affected D. Traffic noise causes lifelong harm to baby birds 【答案】28. A 29. C 30. D 31. D 【导语】这是一篇科普说明文，主要讲述了一项新的研究发现，交通噪音会影响小鸟的成长并导致终身伤害，这也引发了对噪音污染对野生动物和人类影响的新的担忧。 28. 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Mylene Mariette, a behavioral ecologist at Deakin University, and her team set out to answer that question with birds held on campus in Melbourne, Australia. For 5 nights in a row, they played eggs either road noise or bird songs for several hours. The sounds were kept at a volume of 65 decibels （分贝）—about the same loudness as a conversation in a bar or city traffic. Other eggs were left in silence. After the eggs hatched, the baby birds received one of two treatments—road noise or bird songs—for another 9 nights. The baby birds heard the sounds in a separate room, and then were returned to their nests.”（迪肯大学的行为生态学家Mylene Mariette和她的团队开始用澳大利亚墨尔本校园里饲养的鸟类来回答这个问题。连续5个晚上，他们连续几个小时播放道路噪音或鸟鸣。这些声音的音量被控制在65分贝——大约与酒吧里的谈话或城市交通中的声音相同。其他的蛋被静静地留在那里。蛋孵化后，雏鸟在接下来的9个晚上接受两种处理方式中的一种——道路噪音或鸟鸣。幼鸟在一个单独的房间里听到了这些声音，然后被送回了它们的巢。）可知，第三段主要关于研究的过程。故选A。 29. 推理判断题。根据第四段“Eggs exposed to traffic sounds were 19% less likely to hatch compared with those exposed to the sound of songs. It shows a clear effect of traffic noise, Mariette says. As the baby birds developed, they also showed worrying development signs. Those exposed to noise grew slower. Moreover, when those birds grew up, they had about half as many offspring （后代） as the birds exposed to songs as youngsters.”（与那些暴露在歌声中的蛋相比，暴露在交通声音中的蛋孵化的可能性要低19%。Mariette说，这显示了交通噪音的明显影响。随着幼鸟的发育，它们也表现出令人担忧的发育迹象。那些暴露在噪音中的鸟生长得更慢。此外，当这些鸟长大后，它们的后代数量大约是幼年时听过歌声的鸟的一半。）可知，第4段通过对比解释调查结果。故选C。 30. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The findings suggest that the acoustic （听觉的） environment of birds in cities and along highways should be better managed,” he writes, “and that the acoustic comfort in hospital environments for pregnant mothers and babies requires special attention.”（研究结果表明，城市和高速公路沿线鸟类的声环境应该得到更好的管理，”他写道，“医院环境中孕妇和婴儿的声舒适需要特别注意。”）可知，要特别注意婴儿的医院环境。故选D。 31. 主旨大意题。根据第一段“A new study on baby birds shows that traffic noise can affect their growth and lead to lifelong harm.”（一项关于幼鸟的新研究表明，交通噪音会影响它们的生长，并导致终身伤害。）可知，主要讲述了一项新的研究发现，交通噪音会影响小鸟的成长并导致终身伤害，这也引发了对噪音污染对野生动物和人类影响的新的担忧。所以短文的标题为“交通噪音对幼鸟造成终身伤害”。故选D。 D Bricks are one of the oldest known building materials, dating back thousands of years. But researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have found a new use for bricks: as energy storage units. A team of engineers and chemists have found a way to transform an ordinary house brick into a pseudo-battery — allowing it to conduct and store electricity. The bricks are powerful enough to illuminate（点亮）an LED light bulb and cost only about $ 3 to make. “I love the idea of adding value to things that are inexpensive, things that are affordable, things that we kind of take for granted,” said Julio D’Arcy, an assistant professor of chemistry at Washington University and one of the researchers on this project. The brick battery relies on the reddish pigment（色素）known as iron oxide, or rust, that gives red bricks their color. The scientists pumped the bricks with several gases that react with iron oxide to produce a network of plastic fibers. These microscopic fibers coat the empty spaces inside the bricks — and conduct electricity. “What we’re trying to do is: we’re trying to make specialized plastics that are only used on the nano（纳米）scale — where we use very little of the plastic, and we can actually insert that plastic inside construction materials. ” The study is in the journal Nature Communications. In the future, D’Arcy says, a brick wall could potentially serve a double purpose: providing structural support and storing electricity generated from renewable energy sources, such as solar panels. The technology is still at least a few years away from being ready for the commercial market. And right now the energy storage capacity of the bricks is still pretty low — about 1 percent of a lithium battery. But the team is now testing ways to improve brick performance — because it looks like you can teach an old brick new tricks. 32. What appeals to Julio D’Arcy listing bricks as their subjects? A. Their low expense. B. Their common existence. C. Their additional value. D. Their internal composition. 33. What is the last step of making a brick conduct electricity? A. Pump the brick with gases. B. Color the brick red. C. Produce microscopic fibers. D. Cover its inner vacancy with microscopic fibers. 34. What will the future bricks be like according to the passage? A. Construction materials possessing low energy storage capacity. B. Construction materials generating renewable energy resources. C. Construction materials used for electricity storage. D. Construction materials with built-in common plastic. 35. Which word best describes the author’s attitude to the technology? A. Skeptical. B. Objective. C. Conservative. D. Controversial. 【答案】32. C 33. D 34. C 35. B 【分析】这是一篇说明文。讲述了一项新的研究发现：圣路易斯华盛顿大学的研究人员发现了砖块的新用途：作为储能单元，可以用来贮存电力。 32.细节理解题。由题干关键词“Julio D’Arcy”定位到第二段中“I love the idea of adding value to things that are inexpensive, things that are affordable, things that we kind of take for granted, ” （我喜欢把价值赋予那些不贵的东西，那些我们可以负担得起的东西， 那些我们认为理所当然的东西的这个想法）。即Julio D’Arcy认为可以在砖块上面实现附加价值。故选C。 33.细节理解题。由题干关键词“a brick conduct electricity”定位到第三段“The brick battery relies on the reddish pigment（色素）known as iron oxide, or rust, that gives red bricks their color. The scientists pumped the bricks with several gases that react with iron oxide to produce a network of plastic fibers. These microscopic fibers coat the empty spaces inside the bricks — and conduct electricity.”（砖块电池依赖于红色颜料，氧化铁，或铁锈，使红砖呈现出它们的颜色。科学家们用几种气体与氧化铁反应生成一个塑料纤维网络。这些微小的纤维覆盖了砖块内部的空隙，并导电。）可知，第—步∶color the brick red；第二步∶pump the brick with gaes；第三步∶produce microscopicfibers；第四步∶coat the empty spaces inside the bricks，所以最后一步是用显微纤维覆盖砖块内部的空隙。故答案为D。 34.推理判断题。根据文中第五段中“In the future, D’Arcy says, a brick wall could potentially serve a double purpose: providing structural support and storing electricity generated from renewable energy sources, such as solar panels.”（ D’Arcy说：“在未来，砖墙可能有双重用途： 提供结构支撑和储存可再生能源产生的电力，比如太阳能电池板。”）可知，未来的砖墙是能够贮存电力的建筑材料。选项C符合题意。故选C。 35.推理判断题。结合最后一段“The technology is still at least a few years away from being ready for the commercial market. And right now the energy storage capacity of the bricks is still pretty low”（这项技术至少还需要几年才能投入商业市场。现在砖块的储能能力仍然很低）可推知，此处作者是从客观实际阐述这种新技术。所以态度上市很客观的。选项A.“怀疑的”；选项B.“客观的”符合题意。选项C.“保守的，守旧的”；选项D.“有争议的”。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。 If the idea of going to the office party makes you worried or you’re in a stressed state about similar get-togethers, you’re not alone. ___36___ It’s part of our nature that we’re concerned about things like reputation and status. There are some psychology findings that you might find comforting. Here’s a study that led psychologists to propose something called the “spotlight effect”. It is the phenomenon that we tend to think people are paying more attention to us than they really are. ___37___ Then researchers estimated how many people in the room noticed the T-shirts. It turned out that the participants had massively overestimated just how many people noticed their embarrassing clothes. ___38___ Remember that when you’re upset about what to wear or what to say, most people are wrapped up in themselves, not watching you as closely as you might think. ___39___ Constantly monitoring your own words and behaviors will fuel your nerves. And in the worst cases, it will lead you to act more awkwardly. Anything you can do to try to get it out of your head ought to alleviate (缓解) your anxiety. Further, why not set yourself a small goal of being on the lookout for anyone else seeming uncomfortable or left out? There must be people feeling that way, and you could help make their experience more positive. Above all, remember that avoidance never helps anxiety. What’s more, don’t expect too much of yourself. Pace yourself, and do your best. ___40___ A. The most effective way is to be strategic. B. After all, social occasions are an opportunity. C. In this way, you might have a little fun along the way. D. Feeling nervous about socializing is incredibly common. E. Actually, the others just weren’t paying that much attention. F. Indeed, too much self-focus is a major driver of social anxiety. G. The study involved participants wearing embarrassing T-shirts in a group setting. 【答案】36. D 37. G 38. E 39. F 40.

(记住，当你为穿什么或说什么而烦恼时，大多数人都在关注自己，而不是像你想象的那样密切关注你。)”可知，本段主要讲述的是大多数人都在关注自己，而不是别人。选项E“Actually, the others just weren’t paying that much attention.(实际上，其他人并没有那么注意)”符合上下文内容，指的都是其他人并不像你以为的那样关注你。故选E。 39. 空处为段首句，为本段主要内容。根据下文“Constantly monitoring your own words and behaviors will fuel your nerves. And in the worst cases, it will lead you to act more awkwardly. Anything you can do to try to get it out of your head ought to alleviate(缓解) your anxiety.(不断地监控自己的言行会刺激你的神经。在最坏的情况下，它会让你表现得更尴尬。你所能做的任何事都应该能减轻你的焦虑)”可知，本段主要讲述的是太关注自己会让人产生焦虑。选项F“Indeed, too much self-focus is a major driver of social anxiety.(的确，过度关注自我是社交焦虑的主要原因)”与下文内容一致，指的是过度关注自我会产生社交焦虑。故选F。 40. 根据空前内容“Above all, remember that avoidance never helps anxiety. What’s more, don’t expect too much of yourself. Pace yourself, and do your best.(最重要的是，记住逃避永远不会帮助焦虑。另外，不要对自己期望太高。调整自己的节奏，做到最好)”可知，上文指的是通过上文的方法，我们可以缓解焦虑。选项C“In this way, you might have a little fun along the way.(这样，一路上你可能会有一点乐趣)”是对上文内容的总结，符合上文内容。故选C。 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I grew up in Central Java.

Suddenly a crow (乌鸦) landed on their window. The father asked his son, “What is this?’’ The son replied, “It is a crow.’’ After a few minutes, the father asked his son for the second time, “What is this?” The son said, “Father, I have just told you. It’s a crow!” After a little while, the old father again asked his son for the third time, “What is this?’’ At this time some expression of impatience was felt in the son’s tone when he said to his father coldly. “It’s a crow, a crow.” A little while later, the father again asked his son for the fourth time, “What is this?” This time, the son shouted at his father, “Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again, although I have told you so many times ‘IT IS A CROW’? Are you not able to understand this?” A little while later, the father went to his room and came back with an old tattered (发皱的) diary, which he had maintained since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page. When the son read it, the following words were written in the diary: “Today my little son, aged three, was sitting with me on the sofa, when a crow was sitting on the window. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question. I did not feel angry at all but I rather felt love for my curious son.” 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。 After reading the diary, the son was filled with tears. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Feeling ashamed, the son got down on his knees before his father. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: After reading the diary, the son was filled with tears. He began to reflect on the days when he used to sit together with his father. His father would patiently answer the same question all 23 times without feeling impatient while his father asked him the same question just four times! The son thought to himself: When I am old, how will my son look at me? Will he think of me as a burden? Will he shout at me because of my poor sight, poor hearing or poor understanding? Paragraph 2: Feeling ashamed, the son got down on his knees before his father. He made an apology to his father, begging his father to forgive him for his bad behavior. He said this aloud, “I promise to see you happy forever, Dad. It is you who have cared for me ever since I was a little child, showering your selfless affection on me. You worked hard to make money to guarantee me a quality life. I will serve you in the best way no matter how you behave.” 【解析】 【分析】本文讲述了一位80岁的老人和他45岁受过高等教育的儿子坐在家里的沙发上，突然一只乌鸦落在他们的窗户上，父亲问了儿子三遍同一个问题“这是什么？” 儿子回答“这是一只乌鸦。”但态度越来越不耐烦，终于在父亲第四次问这个问题时，儿子生气地问父亲为什么总是问同一个问题？看着生气的儿子，父亲拿出一本日记，上面记录着当儿子小时候，问了父亲同一个问题23次，但父亲都是耐心地回答。读完日记后，儿子泪流满面。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“读完日记后，儿子泪流满面。”可知，第一段可描写看完日记后，儿子的内心活动，对自己的行为进行反思。 ②由第二段首句内容“儿子感到羞愧，跪在父亲面前。”可知，第二段可描写儿子对自己的行为向父亲道歉，并承诺自己会改正。 2.续写线索：回忆过去——反思自己的行为——向父亲道歉——做出承诺 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.回想起：reflect on/recall ②.道歉：make an apology/apologize ③.照顾：care for/look after 情绪类 ①.耐心地：patiently/with patience ②.高兴的：happy/pleased 【点睛】[高分句型1].

But there’s something special given to us from someone we adore and look up to — mothers. I am blessed to have a mother who is a teacher. Growing up, she always encouraged me to follow what I enjoyed. I never felt the pressure to have to follow a certain career path because of status or finance, or just because it was believed to mean “earning a good living”. She recommended that I follow the path that might bring me the most joy. —Nancy My mom spent her entire career as a nurse. When I was hired as a healthcare consultant, it was an honor to be “Lauran’s daughter”. The best career lesson she taught me is to find my strong points. I didn’t love the hands-on caregiving, but I excelled in marketing healthcare programs. I’ve got the natural talent there, and enjoy my career. —Pat The best career advice I’ve gotten from my mom is that life is easier and happier when you are clear on your top priority (优先权) — and you can only have one top priority. You’ll be better off when you are honest with people about that priority and you give yourself permission to say no to things that are against that priority. —Rebecca The best advice from my mum was to be true to myself. For years, I had tried to succeed by learning from people who had found success in their respective careers. Although it had helped to some degree, when I truly accepted who I was and allowed myself to focus on my unique personality and strength, I found new levels of career growth. —Suzanne 21.

B About once a week, a veterinarian (兽医) Kwane Stewart heads down to San Diego’s East Village to make his rounds, serving the dogs, cats and birds who are the treasured pets of downtown’s homeless community. Stewart’s parents were huge animal lovers. By age 6, he knew he wanted to be a vet. After graduation from a Colorado veterinary science program, he spent the next decade as a veterinarian. In 2008, he worked as head veterinarian at a country-run animal shelter in an area struck by the Great Recession. He saw pets abandoned and the work was extremely depressing. Four years into the shelter job, Stewart said he was burned out with guilt and ready to quit. Then one morning on his way to work, he saw a homeless man and a dog. He treated the dog’s skin condition and the animal was transformed. The owner was beyond grateful and said, “Thanks for not ignoring me and for treating my dog.” “That was the moment for me. I got back to saving animals and doing it on my own terms.” Stewart said. A few weeks later he set up a pop-up veterinary clinic at a soup kitchen, and when clients there suggested he take his services further, his new job as “Street Vet” began. In addition to treating common diseases, Stewart often provides vaccinations (接种疫苗) and general wellness checks. He also promotes “fear-free” pet care. Many of the people Stewart serves are not just grateful for the help but also form a deep bond with him, seeing him as someone who not only treats their pets but also acknowledges their humanity. “I can dream a little bit that people from all over the world will want to emulate what I do.” Stewart said. Right now, he is building a network of trusted volunteers, technicians with hospitals and clinics. “These are all people who just reached out and said, ‘I’m inspired by what you do. How do I do it?’” he said. 24. What do we know about Steward’s current job? A. He runs an animal shelter. B. He adopts abandoned pets. C. He works for a science program. D.

What does the underlined word “emulate” in the last paragraph mean? A. Follow the example of. B. Show respect for. C. Put the blame on. D. Pay attention to. C A new study on baby birds shows that traffic noise can affect their growth and lead to lifelong harm. The finding raises new concerns about the effect of noise pollution on wildlife — and humans as well. Researchers already knew too much noise is likely to disturb birds, making it more difficult for the parents to communicate with and care for their baby birds. But it wasn’t clear whether the noise itself could directly harm young birds. Mylene Mariette, a behavioral ecologist at Deakin University, and her team set out to answer that question with birds held on campus in Melbourne, Australia. For 5 nights in a row, they played eggs either road noise or bird songs for several hours. The sounds were kept at a volume of 65 decibels （分贝）— about the same loudness as a conversation in a bar or city traffic. Other eggs were left in silence. After the eggs hatched, the baby birds received one of two treatments — road noise or bird songs — for another 9 nights. The baby birds heard the sounds in a separate room, and then were returned to their nests. Eggs exposed to traffic sounds were 19% less likely to hatch compared with those exposed to the sound of songs. It shows a clear effect of traffic noise, Mariette says. As the baby birds developed, they also showed worrying development signs. Those exposed to noise grew slower. Moreover, when those birds grew up, they had about half as many offspring （后代） as the birds exposed to songs as youngsters. Hans Slabbekoorn, an ecologist and animal behavior expert at Leiden University, notes that these concerns apply to humans as well. “The findings suggest that the acoustic （听觉的） environment of birds in cities and along highways should be better managed,” he writes, “and that the acoustic comfort in hospital environments for pregnant mothers and babies requires special attention.” Eventually, the research might help reveal how much and in what ways noise pollution should be reduced. 28. What does paragraph 3 mainly focus on about the study? A. Its process. B. Its result. C. Its difficulty. D. Its purpose. 29. How are the findings explained in paragraph 4? A. By giving examples. B. By analyzing reasons. C. By making comparisons. D. By making predictions. 30. What do the findings indicate? A. Move the birds from cities to protected areas. B. Make laws to close highways and other noisy places. C. Educate people on the bad effects of noise pollution. D. Pay special attention to the hospital environment for babies. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Traffic noise helps birds communicate B. Scientists have found ways to reduce noise C. Hospital environments are greatly affected D. Traffic noise causes lifelong harm to baby birds D Bricks are one of the oldest known building materials, dating back thousands of years. But researchers at Washington Universitya in St. Louis have found a new use for bricks: as energy storage units. A team of engineers and chemists have found a way to transform an ordinary house brick into a pseudo-battery — allowing it to conduct and store electricity. The bricks are powerful enough to illuminate（点亮）an LED light bulb and cost only about $ 3 to make. “I love the idea of adding value to things that are inexpensive, things that are affordable, things that we kind of take for granted, ”said Julio D’Arcy, an assistant professor of chemistry at Washington University and one of the researchers on this project. The brick battery relies on the reddish pigment（色素）known as iron oxide, or rust, that gives red bricks their color. The scientists pumped the bricks with several gases that react with iron oxide to produce a network of plastic fibers. These microscopic fibers coat the empty spaces inside the bricks — and conduct electricity. “What we’re trying to do is: we’re trying to make specialized plastics that are only used on the nano（纳米）scale — where we use very little of the plastic, and we can actually insert that plastic inside construction materials. ” The study is in the journal Nature Communications. In the future, D’Arcy says, a brick wall could potentially serve a double purpose: providing structural support and storing electricity generated from renewable energy sources, such as solar panels. The technology is still at least a few years away from being ready for the commercial market. And right now the energy storage capacity of the bricks is still pretty low — about 1 percent of a lithium battery. But the team is now testing ways to improve brick performance — because it looks like you can teach an old brick new tricks. 32. What appeals to Julio D’Arcy listing bricks as their subjects? A. Their low expense. B. Their common existence. C. Their additional value. D. Their internal composition. 33. What is the last step of making a brick conduct electricity? A. Pump the brick with gases. B. Color the brick red. C. Produce microscopic fibers. D. Cover its inner vacancy with microscopic fibers. 34. What will the future bricks be like according to the passage? A. Construction materials possessing low energy storage capacity. B. Construction materials generating renewable energy resources. C. Construction materials used for electricity storage. D. Construction materials with built-in common plastic. 35. Which word best describes the author’s attitude to the technology? A. Skeptical. B. Objective. C. Conservative. D. Controversial. 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。 If the idea of going to the office party makes you worried or you’re in a stressed state about similar get-togethers, you’re not alone. ___36___ It’s part of our nature that we’re concerned about things like reputation and status.

It’s a crow!” After a little while, the old father again asked his son for the third time, “What is this?’’ At this time some expression of impatience was felt in the son’s tone when he said to his father coldly. “It’s a crow, a crow.” A little while later, the father again asked his son for the fourth time, “What is this?” This time, the son shouted at his father, “Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again, although I have told you so many times ‘IT IS A CROW’?
