Mistakenly, he dug a hole on the part that was originally for the figure's leg. So this rare piece of marble （大理石）was abandoned in a church. One day, someone called in Michelangelo. They believed only he was able to make use of this piece of marble. Michelangelo looked at the stone and concluded that he could carve out a beautiful figure as long as he got the design adjusted to hide the damaged part. Michelangelo decided to carve the young David. One day, the mayor （市长）of the city entered the studio. He regarded himself as a carving expert and appreciated the work. He told Michelangelo that his work was a fantastic masterpiece, but the nose was too big. Michelangelo knew the mayor was standing right below the statue, so his visual angle was incorrect. Without a word, he asked the mayor to climb up the platform following him to the nose position. He then picked up a tool and some small pieces of marble. Michelangelo began to carve gently with the tool and made the collected stone pieces in his hand drop bit by bit. In fact, he didn’t change the nose, but it seemed as if he did. After several minutes, he stood aside and said, “Now, have a look!" The mayor answered, "This is better. You have made it true to life." Everyone believes they are right. If you try to persuade others to change their grounds by words, the reasoning of your argument may fall on deaf ears. Learn to prove the correctness of ideas in an indirect way. Getting the support of others through your own actions will be more powerful. One can never win if he only relies on arguments. 4. Why was Michelangelo invited to make the sculpture? A. The former sculptor broke the figure's leg. B. He could design a young David for a church. C. The mayor believed he could do a good job. D. He could reuse the rare damaged material. 5. Which of the following best describes Michelangelo? A. Dishonest. B. Responsible. C. Overconfident. D. Intelligent. 6. What does the underlined word “grounds” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Lifestyles. B. Hobbies. C. Opinions. D. Floors. 7. What can we learn from the story? A. A smart move is better than words. B Do what you say and say what you do. C. Action is the proper fruit of knowledge. D. From small beginning come great things. C When Leonardo da Vinci wasn’t painting masterpieces or dreaming up flying machines, he was exploring the secrets of gravity. Considering himself a scientist and artist, this Renaissance thinker spent untold hours studying how the “attraction of one object to another” affected phenomena like the flight of birds and the fall of water. Recent research published in the journal Leonardo reveals that da Vinci conducted detailed gravity experiments over a century before Galileo and two centuries prior to Newton. “His thinking was far ahead of his time” said co-author Dr. Morteza Gharib. The study highlights Leonardo’s determination to find the law governing the dynamics of falling objects. Dr. Gharib said he discovered the experiments while examining an online version of The Codex Arundel, a collection of Leonardo’s notes from 1478 to 1518. Among its mirror-written texts, a drawing on Page 143 caught his eye: a triangle (三角形) formed by cycles pouring from a pot. He used a computer program to flip (翻转) the triangle and the nearby backward writing. Suddenly, the image came to life. “I could see motion,” Dr. Gharib recalled. “I could see him pouring stuff out.” It was a eureka moment that revealed Leonardo’s forward-looking experiment. Gazing at Leonardo’s drawing, Dr. Gharib realized that the artist had separated gravity’s effects into two components, revealing a normally hidden aspect of nature. Inspired by hail falling from fast-moving clouds, Leonardo demonstrated through his drawing how gravity’s constant force causes a steady speed gain — shown by the increasing gaps between falling objects as the pot moves. Despite his basic experimental setup 500 years ago, da Vinci calculated the gravitational constant to an accuracy within 10 percent of the modern value. “It’s mind-boggling,” Dr. Gharib said. “That’s the beauty of what Leonardo does.” However, Dr. Gharib hesitated to examine the Codex further. “I’m like a kid in a toy store, afraid to even look at it,” he said. He noted that while art historians had studied it, scientists had not. “It’s an open book with so much to discover.” 8. What is the main purpose of the text ? A. To report da Vinci’s unknown research. B. To compare da Vinci with other scientists. C. To prove da Vinci’s artist and scientist role. D. To show a way of analyzing da Vinci’s notes. 9. What does the underlined phrase “a eureka moment” in paragraph 3 refer to ? A. Finding da Vinci’s secret drawings. B. Detecting the need of mirror-writing. C. Discovering the power of technology. D. Realizing the triangle’s scientific meaning. 10. What is special about da Vinci’s experiments? A. They were the first to explore the law of gravity. B. They achieved high-level accuracy with simple tools. C. They focused on the beauty of falling objects’ motion. D. They integrated artistic strategy with scientific method. 11. What can we know about The Codex from Dr . Gharib’s words? A. It contains unexplored scientific insights. B. Historians misunderstood its real purpose. C. Its artwork hasn’t been properly analyzed. D. New tools are required to reveal its secrets. D Lifestyle creep, sometimes called lifestyle inflation (膨胀), is when living expenses and non-essential expenses grow with income. In bad cases of lifestyle creep, this unnecessary spending can cut into savings. Lifestyle creep is most visible among high earners, but anyone can fall into this trap. Who hasn’t justified eating out more often every week after receiving a 1 or 2 percent raise? The temptation of a more costly lifestyle is difficult to resist. If you’re making enough money to afford a larger apartment, shouldn’t you move to a larger apartment? Improving your standard of living as your income increases isn’t an objectively bad thing, but when that habit cuts into your savings efforts, it can be a major financial risk. As Katie Waters, a financial planner at Stable Waters Financial, says, “Something’s got to give.” Then how to avoid lifestyle creep? It just takes the same moderation and planning you used when you had a smaller income. If you can, head off lifestyle creep from the beginning by giving your raise or bonus money a purpose immediately. This can be used to pay down debt, save for a house, or add to retirement accounts. This way, you won’t be tempted to spend it on a non-necessity. If you fear you’ve already fallen victim to lifestyle inflation at any level, you can still turn your spending around. If you are putting all your expenses on your credit card, Waters recommends rearranging so that only routine, fixed monthly expenses are on the card. “The monthly variable costs — food, clothing, personal care, purchases for the home, the list goes on — are where your money slips away easily, ” Waters says. “Calculate your possible savings each pay period and put that money into a separate checking account.” “As with all things, the secret to managing your finances like an adult is a constant strive for balance,” Waters says. “Have fun along the way, but don’t let the tail wag the dog.” 12. What is characteristic of lifestyle creep? A. It could accelerate income growth. B. It only traps people with a high income. C. It might affect a person’s savings. D. It generally represents a high living standard. 13. Why are Katie Waters’ words quoted in paragraph 3? A. To provide advice on finance. B. To support the author’s point. C. To highlight giving in one’s life. D. To justify a more costly lifestyle. 14. Which measure helps avoid lifestyle creep? A. Putting all the expenses on a credit card. B. Saving the bonus money for non-necessities. C. Increasing the monthly costs on food and clothing. D. Setting different checking accounts for specific purposes. 15. What does the phrase “don’t let the tail wag the dog” imply? A. Don’t bite the hand that feeds you. B. Don’t put the cart before the horse. C. Don’t do one thing under the cover of another. D. Don’t count the chickens before they are hatched. 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。 There’s a reason why so many people love running early in the morning. ___16___Not only do you begin your day more relaxed and refreshed, but you’ve already started things off with an accomplishment.

He was a rural mail carrier and on Saturdays he would ask me to go with him. Driving through the countryside was always an adventure: There were animals to see, people to visit, and chocolate cookies if you knew where to stop, and Dad did. In the spring, Dad delivered boxes full of baby chickens, and when I was a boy it was such fun to stick your fingers through one of the holes of the boxes and let the baby birds peck (啄) on your fingers. On Dad’s final day of work, it took him well into the evening to complete his rounds because at least one member from each fatuity was waiting at their mailbox to appreciate him for his friendship and his years of service. “Two hundred and nineteen mailboxes on my route,” he used to say, and a story at every one. One lady had no mailbox, so Dad took the mail in to her every day because she was nearly blind. He once lectured me that to bring everyone plain pleasure is his greatest pleasure, which has clung to me so far. Mailboxes were sometimes used for things other than mail. On cold days Dad might find one of his customers waiting for him with a cup of hot chocolate. A young girl wrote letters but had no stamps, so she left a few buttons on the envelope in the mailbox; Dad paid for the stamps. With a heavy heart, I traveled back to my hometown on the sad occasion of Dad’s death, and the mailboxes along the way reminded me of some of his stories. I thought I knew them all, but that wasn’t the case. As I drove home, I noticed two lamp poles, one on each side of the street. When my dad was around, those poles supported wooden boxes about four feet off the ground. One box was painted green, and the other was red, and each had a long narrow hole at the top with white lettering: Santa Claus, NORTH POLE. For years children had dropped letters to Santa through those holes. I was among the kids whose letters were always answered in time. I made a turn at the corner and drove past the post office and across the railroad tracks to our house. Mom and I were sitting at the kitchen table when I heard footsteps. There, at the door, stood Frank Townsend, Dad’s postmaster and great friend for many years. Threads of silver ran through his beard and the hair. Obviously, time and sorrow for the past days ploughed deep wrinkles on his brow. Sitting down at the table, he began to tell old stories. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150词左右； 2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Paragraph 1: At one point Frank looked at me with tears in his eyes as if recalling something. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Thinking of my father’s philosophy of pleasure, I resolved to be this year’s Santa Claus. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024～2025学年度第二学期期末考试 高一英语 考生注意： 1. 本试卷考试时间为120分钟，满分150分。 2. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 3. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B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，再选涂其它答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 第一部分 听力（共两节，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.

Mistakenly, he dug a hole on the part that was originally for the figure's leg. So this rare piece of marble （大理石）was abandoned in a church. One day, someone called in Michelangelo. They believed only he was able to make use of this piece of marble. Michelangelo looked at the stone and concluded that he could carve out a beautiful figure as long as he got the design adjusted to hide the damaged part. Michelangelo decided to carve the young David. One day, the mayor （市长）of the city entered the studio. He regarded himself as a carving expert and appreciated the work. He told Michelangelo that his work was a fantastic masterpiece, but the nose was too big. Michelangelo knew the mayor was standing right below the statue, so his visual angle was incorrect. Without a word, he asked the mayor to climb up the platform following him to the nose position. He then picked up a tool and some small pieces of marble. Michelangelo began to carve gently with the tool and made the collected stone pieces in his hand drop bit by bit. In fact, he didn’t change the nose, but it seemed as if he did. After several minutes, he stood aside and said, “Now, have a look!" The mayor answered, "This is better. You have made it true to life." Everyone believes they are right. If you try to persuade others to change their grounds by words, the reasoning of your argument may fall on deaf ears. Learn to prove the correctness of ideas in an indirect way. Getting the support of others through your own actions will be more powerful. One can never win if he only relies on arguments. 4. Why was Michelangelo invited to make the sculpture? A. The former sculptor broke the figure's leg. B. He could design a young David for a church. C. The mayor believed he could do a good job. D. He could reuse the rare damaged material. 5. Which of the following best describes Michelangelo? A. Dishonest. B. Responsible. C. Overconfident. D. Intelligent. 6. What does the underlined word “grounds” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Lifestyles. B. Hobbies. C. Opinions. D. Floors. 7. What can we learn from the story? A. A smart move is better than words. B. Do what you say and say what you do. C. Action is the proper fruit of knowledge. D. From small beginning come great things. 【答案】4. D 5. D 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了米开朗基罗进行雕塑时，发生的故事，展示了米开朗基罗的聪明才智。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“There was a fine piece of carving stone material, but it was ruined by an unskilled sculptor. (有一块很好的雕刻石料，但是被一个不熟练的雕刻家毁坏了。)”以及第二段中“One day, someone called in Michelangelo. They believed only he was able to make use of this piece of marble. (有一天，有人打电话给米开朗基罗。他们认为只有他才能利用这块大理石。)”可知，米开朗基罗之所以被邀请来做这个雕塑，是因为他可以重复使用稀有的损坏的材料。故选D项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Michelangelo knew the mayor was standing right below the statue, so his visual angle was incorrect. Without a word, he asked the mayor to climb up the platform following him to the nose position. He then picked up a tool and some small pieces of marble. Michelangelo began to carve gently with the tool and made the collected stone pieces in his hand drop bit by bit. In fact, he didn’t change the nose, but it seemed as if he did. (米开朗基罗知道市长就站在雕像的正下方，所以他的视角不对。他一句话也没说，让市长跟着他爬上画台，一直爬到鼻子的位置。然后他拿起一个工具和一些小的大理石碎片。米开朗基罗开始用这个工具轻轻地雕刻，让他手中收集的石头一点一点地掉下来。事实上，他没有改变鼻子，但看起来他改变了。)”可知，米开朗基罗巧妙地骗过了市长，让市长看到的好像是在按着市长的建议去做的。再根据最后一段中“Learn to prove the correctness of ideas in an indirect way. (学会用间接的方式证明观点的正确性。)”的总结可以推知，米开朗基罗是聪明的。故选D项。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。划线词句前文“Everyone believes they are right. (每个人都认为自己是对的。)”说明每个人都有自己的认识，即自己的看法，再根据划线词句“If you try to persuade others to change their grounds by words, the reasoning of your argument may fall on deaf ears. (如果你试图用言语说服别人改变他们的grounds，你的论证可能会被置若罔闻。)”可以推知，其中划线单词grounds应为“认识，看法”的意思，选项C“观点，看法”与之意义最为接近。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Getting the support of others through your own actions will be more powerful. One can never win if he only relics on arguments. (通过自己的行动获得别人的支持会更有力量。如果一个人只停留在争论上，他永远不会赢。)”可以推知，通过这个故事，我们可以学到：聪明的行动胜于雄辩。故选A项。 C When Leonardo da Vinci wasn’t painting masterpieces or dreaming up flying machines, he was exploring the secrets of gravity. Considering himself a scientist and artist, this Renaissance thinker spent untold hours studying how the “attraction of one object to another” affected phenomena like the flight of birds and the fall of water. Recent research published in the journal Leonardo reveals that da Vinci conducted detailed gravity experiments over a century before Galileo and two centuries prior to Newton. “His thinking was far ahead of his time,” said co-author Dr. Morteza Gharib. The study highlights Leonardo’s determination to find the law governing the dynamics of falling objects. Dr. Gharib said he discovered the experiments while examining an online version of The Codex Arundel, a collection of Leonardo’s notes from 1478 to 1518. Among its mirror-written texts, a drawing on Page 143 caught his eye: a triangle (三角形) formed by cycles pouring from a pot. He used a computer program to flip (翻转) the triangle and the nearby backward writing. Suddenly, the image came to life. “I could see motion,” Dr. Gharib recalled. “I could see him pouring stuff out.” It was a eureka moment that revealed Leonardo’s forward-looking experiment. Gazing at Leonardo’s drawing, Dr. Gharib realized that the artist had separated gravity’s effects into two components, revealing a normally hidden aspect of nature. Inspired by hail falling from fast-moving clouds, Leonardo demonstrated through his drawing how gravity’s constant force causes a steady speed gain — shown by the increasing gaps between falling objects as the pot moves. Despite his basic experimental setup 500 years ago, da Vinci calculated the gravitational constant to an accuracy within 10 percent of the modern value. “It’s mind-boggling,” Dr. Gharib said. “That’s the beauty of what Leonardo does.” However, Dr. Gharib hesitated to examine the Codex further. “I’m like a kid in a toy store, afraid to even look at it,” he said. He noted that while art historians had studied it, scientists had not. “It’s an open book with so much to discover.” 8. What is the main purpose of the text ? A. To report da Vinci’s unknown research. B. To compare da Vinci with other scientists. C. To prove da Vinci’s artist and scientist role. D. To show a way of analyzing da Vinci’s notes. 9. What does the underlined phrase “a eureka moment” in paragraph 3 refer to ? A. Finding da Vinci’s secret drawings. B. Detecting the need of mirror-writing. C. Discovering the power of technology. D. Realizing the triangle’s scientific meaning. 10. What is special about da Vinci’s experiments? A They were the first to explore the law of gravity. B. They achieved high-level accuracy with simple tools. C. They focused on the beauty of falling objects’ motion. D. They integrated artistic strategy with scientific method. 11. What can we know about The Codex from Dr . Gharib’s words? A. It contains unexplored scientific insights. B. Historians misunderstood its real purpose. C. Its artwork hasn’t been properly analyzed. D. New tools are required to reveal its secrets. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了一项最新研究，揭示了达芬奇在重力研究方面领先于时代的实验和发现，这些内容记录在他的笔记手稿《Codex Arundel》中，并强调了该手稿对科学家而言仍有巨大的探索潜力。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，并结合第二段中“Recent research published in the journal  Leonardo  reveals that da Vinci conducted detailed gravity experiments over a century before Galileo and two centuries prior to Newton.(发表在《列奥纳多》杂志上的最新研究表明，达·芬奇比伽利略早一个世纪，比牛顿早两个世纪就进行了详细的重力实验)”可知，文章主要讲述了达芬奇在重力研究方面鲜为人知的探索。近期研究发现，达芬奇在伽利略和牛顿之前就进行了详细的重力实验，文章介绍了这些实验的发现过程、独特之处以及《阿伦德尔抄本》中蕴含的未被充分探索的科学见解。所以文章主要目的是报道达芬奇这项此前不为人知的研究。故选A。 【9题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段“He used a computer program to flip (翻转) the triangle and the nearby backward writing. Suddenly, the image came to life. “I could see motion,” Dr. Gharib recalled. “I could see him pouring stuff out.” It was a eureka moment that revealed Leonardo’s forward-looking experiment.(他用一个计算机程序翻转了三角形和旁边的反向文字。突然，图像变得生动起来。“我能看到运动”加里布博士回忆道。“我能看到他倒东西出来”正是这个顿悟时刻揭示了达芬奇具有前瞻性的实验)” 可知，通过翻转三角形和文字，加里布博士意识到了这个三角形所蕴含的科学意义，所以“a eureka moment” 指的是意识到三角形的科学意义。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Despite his basic experimental setup 500 years ago, da Vinci calculated the gravitational constant to an accuracy within 10 percent of the modern value.(尽管他 500 年前的实验装置很基础，但达芬奇计算出的引力常数的精度与现代值相差在 10% 以内)” 可知，达芬奇实验的特别之处在于用简单的工具达到了较高的精度。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“He noted that while art historians had studied it, scientists had not. “It’s an open book with so much to discover.”(他指出，虽然艺术史学家研究过它，但科学家们没有研究过它。“这是一本有待发现的开放之书”) 可知，The Codex包含尚未被探索的科学见解。故选A。 D Lifestyle creep, sometimes called lifestyle inflation (膨胀), is when living expenses and non-essential expenses grow with income. In bad cases of lifestyle creep, this unnecessary spending can cut into savings. Lifestyle creep is most visible among high earners, but anyone can fall into this trap. Who hasn’t justified eating out more often every week after receiving a 1 or 2 percent raise? The temptation of a more costly lifestyle is difficult to resist. If you’re making enough money to afford a larger apartment, shouldn’t you move to a larger apartment? Improving your standard of living as your income increases isn’t an objectively bad thing, but when that habit cuts into your savings efforts, it can be a major financial risk. As Katie Waters, a financial planner at Stable Waters Financial, says, “Something’s got to give.” Then how to avoid lifestyle creep? It just takes the same moderation and planning you used when you had a smaller income. If you can, head off lifestyle creep from the beginning by giving your raise or bonus money a purpose immediately. This can be used to pay down debt, save for a house, or add to retirement accounts. This way, you won’t be tempted to spend it on a non-necessity. If you fear you’ve already fallen victim to lifestyle inflation at any level, you can still turn your spending around. If you are putting all your expenses on your credit card, Waters recommends rearranging so that only routine, fixed monthly expenses are on the card. “The monthly variable costs — food, clothing, personal care, purchases for the home, the list goes on — are where your money slips away easily, ” Waters says. “Calculate your possible savings each pay period and put that money into a separate checking account.” “As with all things, the secret to managing your finances like an adult is a constant strive for balance,” Waters says. “Have fun along the way, but don’t let the tail wag the dog.” 12. What is characteristic of lifestyle creep? A. It could accelerate income growth. B. It only traps people with a high income. C. It might affect a person’s savings. D. It generally represents a high living standard. 13 Why are Katie Waters’ words quoted in paragraph 3? A. To provide advice on finance. B. To support the author’s point. C. To highlight giving in one’s life. D. To justify a more costly lifestyle. 14. Which measure helps avoid lifestyle creep? A. Putting all the expenses on a credit card. B. Saving the bonus money for non-necessities. C. Increasing the monthly costs on food and clothing. D. Setting different checking accounts for specific purposes. 15. What does the phrase “don’t let the tail wag the dog” imply? A. Don’t bite the hand that feeds you. B. Don’t put the cart before the horse. C. Don’t do one thing under the cover of another. D. Don’t count the chickens before they are hatched. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了生活方式悄然升级的现象及应对方法。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第一段中“In bad cases of lifestyle creep, this unnecessary spending can cut into savings.(在生活方式悄然升级的糟糕情况下，这些不必要的开支会削减储蓄)”可知，生活方式悄然升级的特点是它可能会影响一个人的储蓄。故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。 根据第三段中“Improving your standard of living as your income increases isn’t an objectively bad thing, but when that habit cuts into your savings efforts, it can be a major financial risk. As Katie Waters, a financial planner at Stable Waters Financial, says, “Something’s got to give.”(随着收入的增加提高生活水平并不是一件客观上糟糕的事情，但是当这种习惯影响到你的储蓄努力时，它可能会带来重大的财务风险。正如Stable Waters Financial的财务规划师Katie Waters所说：“必须有所取舍。”)”可知，第三段中引用Katie Waters的话是为了支持作者关于生活方式悄然升级可能带来重大财务风险的这一观点。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第四段中“If you fear you’ve already fallen victim to lifestyle inflation at any level, you can still turn your spending around. If you are putting all your expenses on your credit card, Waters recommends rearranging so that only routine, fixed monthly expenses are on the card. “The monthly variable costs — food, clothing, personal care, purchases for the home, the list goes on — are where your money slips away easily,” Waters says. “Calculate your possible savings each pay period and put that money into a separate checking account.”(如果你把所有的开支都记在信用卡上，Waters建议重新安排，这样信用卡上就只有日常的固定每月开支。Waters说：“每月的可变成本——食品、服装、个人护理、家居用品等等——都是你的钱容易流失的地方。计算每个发薪期可能的储蓄，并将这些钱存入一个单独的支票账户。”)”可知，为特定目的设置不同的支票账户有助于避免生活方式悄然升级。故选D。 【15题详解】 词句猜测题。 根据最后一段中““As with all things, the secret to managing your finances like an adult is a constant strive for balance, ” Waters says. “Have fun along the way, but don’t let the tail wag the dog. ”(“就像所有事情一样，像成年人一样管理财务的秘诀是不断追求平衡，”Waters说。“在过程中享受乐趣，但don’t let the tail wag the dog”)”以及第三段中“Improving your standard of living as your income increases isn’t an objectively bad thing, but when that habit cuts into your savings efforts, it can be a major financial risk.”(随着收入的增加提高生活水平并不是一件客观上糟糕的事情，但是当这种习惯影响到你的储蓄努力时，它可能会带来重大的财务风险)可知，像成年人一样管理财务的秘诀是不断追求平衡，在过程中享受快乐，而不是一味高消费，从而带来财务风险，即不要本末倒置。由此可推测出“don’t let the tail wag the dog”意思是“不要本末倒置”。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。 There’s a reason why so many people love running early in the morning. ___16___Not only do you begin your day more relaxed and refreshed but you’ve already started things off with an accomplishment. If you think you’re ready to take advantage of the benefits of a morning run, here are some reflections from the professionals. Finding a partner to run with will give you someone to be responsible for, and make it much harder to blow of the run. It’s also important to remember that this is a process, and you can’t expect to do it perfectly from the beginning. ___17___“Once you get into the habit, it becomes natural and actually jump starts your day, ” says Sheri Piers, top American finisher at the 2012 Boston Marathon. “The first few steps or blocks will be tough in the morning. They always are,” says Dr. Jordan Metzl, who has over 32 marathon finishes under his belt. With a practice of more than 20, 000 patients, Metzl’s days are jam-packed, so early morning runs are a must. ___18___“Sometimes you have to just do it, and remember that the motivation will come later,” he says. ___19___“If I go to bed in my sportswear, all I need to do is throw on the outer layers and head out the door. At least that takes away some of the inconvenience,” says Tina Muir, a half-marathoner. She also leaves her alarm on the other side of the room to help push herself up. “I view waking up early like tearing off a Band-Aid,” says Michele Gonzalez, a running coach, “it gonna hurt for a bit.”___20___“You just have to set the alarm early and start doing it,” she says. “After a few days, you’ll be tired earlier at night and will start going to bed earlier. This makes the early alarm feel a bit more manageable. ” A. Have a training plan. B. It has major benefits. C. Her advice is relatively simple. D. It’s just like warming up a car in the winter. E. Even if you have a setback or two, keep at it, F. Still, he knows how hard it can be to get motivated. G. The worst part is getting changed in the cold air, especially in winter. 【答案】16. B 17. E 18. F 19. G 20. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章阐述晨跑的益处，结合专业人士的经验，给出找伙伴、坚持、克服动力不足、减少不便、简单行动等晨跑建议。 【16题详解】 由上文“There’s a reason why so many people love running early in the morning.(很多人喜欢清晨跑步是有原因的)”及下文“Not only do you begin your day more relaxed and refreshed, but you’ve already started things off with an accomplishment.(你不仅能更轻松、更精神地开始新的一天，而且已经以一项成就开启了新的一天)”可知，此处需说明晨跑的益处。B项It has major benefits.(它有很多好处)中It指代“running early in the morning”，“major benefits”与下文“relaxed and refreshed”、“accomplishment”形成呼应，起到“引出原因→具体说明益处”的衔接作用。故选B项。 【17题详解】 由上文“It’s also important to remember that this is a process, and you can’t expect to do it perfectly from the beginning.(同样重要的是要记住，这是一个过程，你不能期望从一开始就做得很完美)”及下文“Once you get into the habit, it becomes natural and actually jump starts your day, (一旦你养成了这个习惯，它就会变得很自然，真正开始你的一天)”可知，此处需强调坚持的重要性。E项Even if you have a setback or two, keep at it.(即使遇到一两次挫折，也要坚持下去)中“setback”对应“can’t expect to do it perfectly”，“keep at it”与“get into the habit”形成逻辑递进，说明过程中需克服困难、持续坚持。故选E项。 【18题详解】 由上文“Metzl’s days are jam-packed, so early morning runs are a must.(梅茨尔的日子排得满满的，所以清晨跑步是必须的)”及下文“Sometimes you have to just do it, and remember that the motivation will come later.(有时候你只需要去做，记住动力随后就会来)”可知，此处需说明他对晨跑动力的理解。F项Still, he knows how hard it can be to get motivated.(不过，他知道获得动力有多难)中he指代“Dr. Jordan Metzl”，“hard to get motivated”与下文“motivation will come later”形成转折，解释了为何需要“just do it”—— 因为动力并非一开始就有。故选F项。 【19题详解】 由下文“If I go to bed in my sportswear, all I need to do is throw on the outer layers and head out the door.(如果我穿着运动服睡觉，我只需要穿上外套出门就行了)”可知，此处需说明晨跑的不便之处及应对方法。G项The worst part is getting changed in the cold air, especially in winter.(最糟糕的是在冷空气中换衣服，尤其是在冬天) 中“getting changed in the cold air”是晨跑的常见障碍，与下文“go to bed in my sportswear”形成“问题→解决办法”的逻辑，说明如何减少换衣服的不便。故选G项。 【20题详解】 由上文“‘I view waking up early like tearing off a Band-Aid,’ says Michele Gonzalez, a running coach, ‘it gonna hurt for a bit. ’(跑步教练米歇尔·冈萨雷斯（Michele Gonzalez）说，‘我认为早起就像撕下创可贴一样，会有点疼。’)”及下文“You just have to set the alarm early and start doing it.(你只需要早点设好闹钟，然后开始做就行了)”可知，此处需说明她的建议特点。C项Her advice is relatively simple.(她的建议相对简单)中her指代“Michele Gonzalez”，simple概括下文“set the alarm early and start doing it”的建议，与“tearing off a Band-Aid”的比喻呼应，强调做法虽直接但有效。故选C项。 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。 In my family, Norooz — the Persian New Year — has always been the most important day of the year.

He was a rural mail carrier and on Saturdays he would ask me to go with him. Driving through the countryside was always an adventure: There were animals to see, people to visit, and chocolate cookies if you knew where to stop, and Dad did. In the spring, Dad delivered boxes full of baby chickens, and when I was a boy it was such fun to stick your fingers through one of the holes of the boxes and let the baby birds peck (啄) on your fingers. On Dad’s final day of work, it took him well into the evening to complete his rounds because at least one member from each fatuity was waiting at their mailbox to appreciate him for his friendship and his years of service. “Two hundred and nineteen mailboxes on my route,” he used to say, and a story at every one. One lady had no mailbox, so Dad took the mail in to her every day because she was nearly blind. He once lectured me that to bring everyone plain pleasure is his greatest pleasure, which has clung to me so far. Mailboxes were sometimes used for things other than mail. On cold days Dad might find one of his customers waiting for him with a cup of hot chocolate. A young girl wrote letters but had no stamps, so she left a few buttons on the envelope in the mailbox; Dad paid for the stamps. With a heavy heart, I traveled back to my hometown on the sad occasion of Dad’s death, and the mailboxes along the way reminded me of some of his stories. I thought I knew them all, but that wasn’t the case. As I drove home, I noticed two lamp poles, one on each side of the street. When my dad was around, those poles supported wooden boxes about four feet off the ground. One box was painted green, and the other was red, and each had a long narrow hole at the top with white lettering: Santa Claus, NORTH POLE. For years children had dropped letters to Santa through those holes. I was among the kids whose letters were always answered in time. I made a turn at the corner and drove past the post office and across the railroad tracks to our house. Mom and I were sitting at the kitchen table when I heard footsteps. There, at the door, stood Frank Townsend, Dad’s postmaster and great friend for many years. Threads of silver ran through his beard and the hair. Obviously, time and sorrow for the past days ploughed deep wrinkles on his brow. Sitting down at the table, he began to tell old stories. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150词左右； 2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Paragraph 1: At one point Frank looked at me with tears in his eyes as if recalling something. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Thinking of my father’s philosophy of pleasure, I resolved to be this year’s Santa Claus. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】At one point Frank looked at me with tears in his eyes as if recalling something. Hardly had the words telling my father was genuinely the Santa Claus escaped from his trembling lips when my emphasizing look changed into an astonished one. Recalling every letter answered in time, I was choked with gratitude, my eyes moistened with tears. Flakes were still whirling while a sparkle of light zigzagged across the sky, casting warmth onto my heart. Frank’s stories went on and notably conveyed in his tone was pursuit for the gone era. “Your father always considered others’ pleasure as his own,” Frank’s remark occurred to me like a clap of thunder, planting a seed of dedication rooted in my heart. Thinking of my father’s philosophy of pleasure, I resolved to be this year’s Santa Claus. Enduring the needle-like wind howling ruthlessly, I made my way to the lamp poles, carefully fumbling for the old letters. Mature as the previous kids were now, I still put pen to paper to respond the innocence with the signature of Santa Claus. When I brought every letter to every original address, the owners’ eyebrows lifted high but then soothed as I explained to them. Spotting the pleased looks on their faces, I felt a surge of warmth circulating through my body. After waving them farewell, I slackened my steps in the snow and wandered around the familiar road, lost in thought of the past golden days that would never fade away. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了邮递员父亲的简单、丰富而又充实、有趣的邮递员生活，父亲是一个乡村邮递员，多年来他都无私地为219个信箱服务，一直到他退休，但让作者没料到的是，父亲还在每年圣诞节的时候扮演着圣诞老人的角色，默默地回复着孩子们写给圣诞老人的信，这种做法感人至深。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“弗兰克含着泪水看着我，好像在回忆什么。”可知，第一段可描写弗兰克回忆关于父亲的感人内容。 ②由第二段首句内容“想到父亲的快乐哲学，我决心成为今年的圣诞老人。”可知，第二段可描写作者沿着父亲的足迹给业主送信的场景和感悟。 2.续写线索：回忆故事——充满感激——产生共鸣——快乐哲学——圣诞回信——内心感受 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①逃脱：escape from/get away from ②转变成：change into/transfer into ③前往某处：make one’s way to/turn towards 情绪类 ①含泪：with tears in one’s eyes/be full of tears/be filled with tears ②决心做：resolve to do /be determined to do 【点睛】【高分句型1】Mature as the previous kids were now, I still put pen to paper to respond the innocence with the signature of Santa Claus.(As引起的部分倒装句式) 【高分句型2】After waving them farewell, I slackened my steps in the snow and wandered around the familiar road, lost in thought of the past golden days that would never fade away.(运用了that引导的定语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
