But where to start? Check out our natural history book recommendations from China and beyond below! My First Summer in the Sierra by John Muir, US/UK In the summer of 1869, John Muir, joined a group of shepherds in the foothills of California’s Sierra Nevada mountain. During the months, he kept a diary while following a flock of sheep, painting a glorious picture of idyllic forests and majestic mountain peaks. His rich perspective and enthusiasm inspired thousands of Americans to visit the area, which later became the famous Yosemite National Park. Living as a Naturalist by Liu Huajie, China Natural history might seem to tackle from a theoretical perspective, but Living as a Naturalist makes it accessible and attractive. Liu uses flowers and plants as an entry point and gives readers practical examples of how we can engage with natural history in our daily lives. With a humorous and engaging writing style, not only does the book interpret ancient Chinese educational and philosophical ideas, but it also introduces key figures in the West’s approach to the subject. The Peregrine by J.A. Baker, UK In 1965, John A. Baker gave up his work and lived on his earnings, devoting all his time to his “obsession” — the peregrine falcon. Like the bird itself, Baker has a keen eye for detail, and his book is “full of the drama of the everyday”, especially their most exciting moments, like fast flying and hunting prey. He pours his heart and soul into his descriptions, transforming his narrative into poetry. In doing so, he entices (吸引) the reader to become fascinated by the smallest of details in things like bird flight and cloud formation. 21. Whose book eventually helped establish a national park? A. Yosemite’s. B. John Muir’s. C. Liu Huajie’s. D. J.A. Baker’s. 22. What is special about the book Living as a Naturalist? A. It helps tackle the subject from a more theoretical perspective. B. It offers readers a practical and daily angle to understand nature. C. It interprets natural history from an ancient way of the West. D. It applies an attractive way to feature some eastern key figures. 23. Which book will you prefer if you are a bird lover? A. My First Summer in the Sierra B. Living as a Naturalist C. The Peregrine D. None of the above. B A new study finds that less than seven percent of the adult population in the US have what health experts consider good cardiometabolic (心脏代谢) health. Using information on roughly 55,000 people over the age of 20, the results show just 6.8 percent of American adults reached optimal (最佳的) levels of health in 2018. Moreover, the study found American health has been in sharp decline over the last 20 years. In 1999, one in three adults had a healthy weight. By 2018, that number fell to just one in four Americans. At the same time, three in five people were free of diabetes in 1999. By 2018, however, more than six in ten adults had the condition! “These numbers are striking. It’s deeply problematic that in the United States, fewer than 1 in 15 adults have optimal cardiometabolic health,” says Meghan O’Hearn, one of the researchers from Tufts University. “We need a complete overhaul (革新) of our healthcare system, food system, and living conditions, because this is a crisis for everyone.” Instead of just looking for signs of disease, the team focused their study on the signs of good, moderate, and poor cardiometabolic health. “Disease is not the only problem,” O’Hearn explains. “We don’t just want to be free of disease. We want to achieve optimal health and well-being.” Researchers also found large health gaps between US adults of different genders, ages, and education levels. Specifically, the study found Americans with less education were half as likely to be in peak cardiometabolic health. O’Hearn adds, “Identifying these individuals and addressing their health conditions and lifestyle early is critical to reducing growing healthcare burdens. Its impacts on national healthcare spending and the financial health of the entire economy are enormous. And these conditions are largely preventable. We have the public health and clinical interventions and policies to be able to address these problems.” 24. What percentage of American adults had optimal cardiometabolic health in 2018? A. Over 7 percent. B. Just 6.8 percent. C. Around 33 percent. D. About 60 percent. 25. What does O’Hearn think of the results of the study? A. They’re unreal. B. They’re acceptable. C. They’re expected. D. They’re shocking. 26. What is the purpose of the team’s research? A. To find the big age gap. B. To help people keep fit. C. To develop new drugs. D. To earn lots of profits. 27. What can we infer from O’Hearn’s words in the last paragraph? A. Joint effort is needed to improve public health. B. Economic growth affects personal health condition. C. America saw a slow decrease in healthcare costs. D. Rich people tend to suffer from health problems. C Booking your next vacation to space with out-of-this-world views could soon be a reality. Orbital Assembly Corporation announced two new station concepts designed with space tourism accommodations. One of the stations, called Pioneer, could orbit Earth as early as 2025. The Gateway Foundation circulated ideas for a space hotel in 2019. The goal of the stations is to run a space business park that can serve as a home away from home with room for offices and tourists. Orbital Assembly was founded by the Gateway Foundation team as a way to help make these dreams come true. The proposed Pioneer station can accommodate 28 people. The second station, Voyager, scheduled to open in 2027, can hold up to 400 people. “The goal has always been to make it possible for large numbers of people to live, work and thrive in space,“ says Orbital Assembly’s COO Tim Alatorre. Both stations look like a wheel and will feature artificial gravity that allows guests to move comfortably on each station. Pioneer features five modules built around the rotating “Gravity Ring” architecture design. Tourists may still feel some weightlessness but will also be able to drink out of a cup and won’t have to be tied to a bed to sleep. The gravity works similar to how a spinning bucket pushes the water out to the sides of the bucket and stays in place, Alatorre explains. Near the middle of the station, there will be no artificial gravity, but gravity gradually increases further away from the center. While the Pioneer station will be smaller than Voyager, guests can still shower, eat and drink sitting down in areas with gravity. Each station is furnished like luxury hotels on Earth. Voyager will feature a restaurant and suites with views of Earth. A significant barrier to space travel is the cost. However, Orbital Assembly expects tourists to seek a trek into space as space travel eventually becomes less expensive. “We envision our Pioneer and Voyager space stations as the ultimate ecotourism destinations. Once people get to space, it will change their perspective about Earth,” Alatorre says. “Space travel is still at its early stage, and we’re excited to do our part to push it forward to help improve life on Earth.” 28. What is the goal of the Pioneer and Voyager space stations? A. To revolutionize space travel. B. To serve as luxury hotels in space. C. To offer a unique and immersive experience. D. To enable large scale living and working in space. 29. What do the Pioneer and Voyager stations have in common? A Open time. B. Artificial gravity. C. Suites with views. D. Passenger capacity. 30. What can we learn from paragraph 4? A. The “Gravity Ring” rotates around the station. B. The gravity is weak in the central point of the station. C. The “Gravity Ring” on Pioneer is identical with that on Voyager. D. The gravity operates like a spinning bucket keeping water inside. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Overcoming the Barrier: Space Tourism Becomes Affordable B. Space Hotels on the Horizon: Pioneer and Voyager Stations C. The Future of Space Travel: Pioneer and Voyager Stations D. Orbital Assembly: Space Tourism Dream Comes True D Rain or shine, Tsering Chopa treks for long hours to deliver mail. For 18 years, the Tibetan mailman has been a vital link between the remote town and the rest of the world. At 5,373 meters above sea level, Pumachangthang in Nakarze county of the Xizang autonomous region is China’s highest township. The oxygen level is less than 40 percent, the annual average temperature -7°C and the average life expectancy only 49.5 years. The area of the township is about 1,500 square kilometers. The distance from the county town is some 70 km and a single trip to all the six villages can be as long as 160 km. In 2005, Tsering Chopa became the first mailman of his hometown. In nearly two decades since his first mission, he has delivered over a million newspapers, more than 20,000 letters and 10,000-plus parcels in Pumachangthang, and has never been accused of failing or mixing up mail. One night, a local resident Nyima Tsering’s daughter had fainted and desperately needed help. Knowing that, the mailman arranged for a car right away and sent her to the county hospital. He also gave some cash to the family for the girl’s treatment. Nyima Tsering’s daughter recovered soon, and Tsering Chopa became an idol in the village. The busiest time for Tsering Chopa is between July and August each year, when students are waiting for their admission letters from various universities. He recalls once he had to deliver mail to one student whose family had already moved away. He had to ask neighbors several times to find the new address. It was summer and the usual road to the village was blocked because of rain. He trekked for more than 20 km and struggled with shortness of breath all the way to finally deliver the letter. In 2019, Tsering Chopa received the China Youth May Fourth Medal. “It is an acknowledgment of what I do and a token of encouragement as well,” he says. “And I want to help more people living in remote areas. I want to bring the world closer to them and take them closer to the world.” 32. What does the data in paragraph 2 imply? A. The achievements Tsering Chopa has gotten as a postman. B. The disasters Tsering Chopa experienced in his childhood. C. The contributions Tsering Chopa has made for his hometown. D. The challenges for Tsering Chopa to deliver mail in Pumachangthang. 33. How did Tsering Chopa help Nyima Tsering’s daughter? A. By donating a car to her family. B. By making her hospitalized in time. C. By lending money to her family. D. By performing an operation for her. 34. Which of the following words can best describe Tsering Chopa? A. Selfless and determined. B. Brave and confident. C. Optimistic and humorous. D. Creative and generous. 35. Why did Tsering Chopa devote himself to delivering mail? A. To win respect and admiration form the villagers. B. To improve the living conditions of his hometown. C. To further link his hometown to the rest of the world. D. To encourage more poor students to go to universities. 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。 One of the most important ways to help your child with their friendships is to have open communication with them.____36____.

I had woken early that morning, and had not been able to sleep on the long ride from Riverside High, thinking about that day’s race, the Eye Opener. I had never raced in a state-wide race before. Over thirty high school teams ran, along with quite a few colleges. The rest of my team and I unloaded the bus, and we relaxed and waited for our race patiently. “Start warming up,” our coach told us, roughly forty-five minutes after we arrived. After finishing our stretches, we headed over to the starting line, eager for the race to begin. The starter walked to the middle of the field. “There will be two commands,” his voice boomed, ‘‘Runners set, then the gun. If you hear another shot, return to the starting line to start again. ” My heart raced as I got my legs ready to race. “Runners set!” the starter shouted Bam! The gun fired, and he rushed out of our way. Adrenaline (肾上腺素)rushed through my body as I raced through the mass of runners. As I rounded the first turn, my schoolmates greeted me with heartening shouts. Then, in what felt like only one minute, I arrived at the one mile mark. “6’10”, a man declared as I ran by. I tried to ignore him, but my legs began to burn as I realized I had run a mile and still had two to go. I slowed down my pace, for I knew the second mile was the worst of all three. Minutes later, I felt horrible. My legs ached, feeling like lead blocks. My vision was clouded as sweat dropped down into my eyes, and my arms felt as if they would fall off if I swung them one more time. Just as I almost reached my limit, a boy passed me. He also seemed to have lost strength but soon he was a little ahead of me. 注意： 1.续写词数应150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I gathered up my strength to speed up but suddenly fell to the ground. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ In the last mile, seeing the athletes passing us one by one, I asked the boy to run without me. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第二节(满分25分) 67. 假定你是某国际学校的学生，最近你参与创办了一个传统中国画社团，正打算向全校招募成员，请你以社团的名义写一则招募启事，内容如下： 1.启事目的； 2.加入社团的好处； 3.如何加入。 注意: 1. 写作词数应80左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 New Members Wanted ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Traditional Chinese Painting Club 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 白城一中2024-2025学年高二下学期期末考试 英语试卷 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】 What is the woman’s job?

How many study zones are there in Ørestad Gymnasium? A. 4. B. 8. C. 16. 20. What surprised the speaker most about Ørestad Gymnasium? A. Its learning materials. B. Its learning schedule. C. Its learning atmosphere. 【答案】18. C 19. A 20. C 【解析】 【原文】W: When I heard college staff were required for a learning exchange trip to Ørestad Gymnasium in Copenhagen, I was quick to sign up. I’d heard great things about this innovative school and wanted to see it for myself. Upon arrival, after the students had been paired up with their exchange partners, I was introduced to Anna, the Spanish teacher who would be hosting me. She gave me a tour and I soon understood what makes the school so different. Firstly, there are no classrooms. Instead, the huge open space is divided up into four large “study zones”, each on a separate level and connected by stairs. Each study zone is separated by bookshelves to create smaller “group areas”. The few more traditional classrooms, mainly science labs, have glass walls to maintain the open feel. The idea is to create a sense of togetherness and develop the students’ independent learning abilities. Learning here is entirely digital, and learning materials can be acquired online at any time. Study schedules are flexible, and teachers act mostly as coaches, leaving students responsible for their own learning. With 1,100 16 to 19-year-olds “running wild”, I expected school days to be noisy. Instead, I was extremely amazed to discover a quiet, focused atmosphere. Giving students adult responsibility seems to help them learn good habits and prepare them for the real world. 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 Besides getting out into nature yourself, the next best thing — especially in the cold, dark winter — is to take it all in through the pages of a book. But where to start? Check out our natural history book recommendations from China and beyond below! My First Summer in the Sierra by John Muir, US/UK In the summer of 1869, John Muir, joined a group of shepherds in the foothills of California’s Sierra Nevada mountain. During the months, he kept a diary while following a flock of sheep, painting a glorious picture of idyllic forests and majestic mountain peaks. His rich perspective and enthusiasm inspired thousands of Americans to visit the area, which later became the famous Yosemite National Park. Living as a Naturalist by Liu Huajie, China Natural history might seem to tackle from a theoretical perspective, but Living as a Naturalist makes it accessible and attractive. Liu uses flowers and plants as an entry point and gives readers practical examples of how we can engage with natural history in our daily lives. With a humorous and engaging writing style, not only does the book interpret ancient Chinese educational and philosophical ideas, but it also introduces key figures in the West’s approach to the subject. The Peregrine by J.A. Baker, UK In 1965, John A. Baker gave up his work and lived on his earnings, devoting all his time to his “obsession” — the peregrine falcon. Like the bird itself, Baker has a keen eye for detail, and his book is “full of the drama of the everyday”, especially their most exciting moments, like fast flying and hunting prey. He pours his heart and soul into his descriptions, transforming his narrative into poetry. In doing so, he entices (吸引) the reader to become fascinated by the smallest of details in things like bird flight and cloud formation. 21. Whose book eventually helped establish a national park? A. Yosemite’s. B. John Muir’s. C. Liu Huajie’s. D. J.A. Baker’s. 22. What is special about the book Living as a Naturalist? A. It helps tackle the subject from a more theoretical perspective. B. It offers readers a practical and daily angle to understand nature. C. It interprets natural history from an ancient way of the West. D. It applies an attractive way to feature some eastern key figures. 23. Which book will you prefer if you are a bird lover? A. My First Summer in the Sierra B. Living as a Naturalist C. The Peregrine D. None of the above. 【答案】21. B 22. B 23. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文，主要介绍了三本自然历史书籍的情况。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In the summer of 1869, John Muir, joined a group of shepherds in the foothills of California’s Sierra Nevada mountain. During the months, he kept a diary while following a flock of sheep, painting a glorious picture of idyllic forests and majestic mountain peaks. His rich perspective and enthusiasm inspired thousands of Americans to visit the area, which later became the famous Yosemite National Park.(1869年夏天，约翰·缪尔加入了一群在加州内华达山脉的山脚下的牧羊人。在这几个月里，他一边赶羊群，一边写日记，描绘了一幅田园诗般的森林和雄伟的山峰的壮丽画面。他丰富的观点和热情激发了成千上万的美国人参观这个地区，该地区后来成为著名的约塞米蒂国家公园。)”可知，约翰·缪尔的书最终帮助建立了国家公园。故选B。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Liu uses flowers and plants as an entry point and gives readers practical examples of how we can engage with natural history in our daily lives.(刘以花卉和植物为切入点，为读者提供了如何在日常生活中参与自然历史的实际例子。)”可知，《作为博物学家的生活》这本书的特别之处是为读者提供了一个了解自然的实用和日常的角度。故选B。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Like the bird itself, Baker has a keen eye for detail, and his book is “full of the drama of the everyday”, especially their most exciting moments, like fast flying and hunting prey.(就像这只鸟本身一样，贝克对细节有着敏锐的眼光，他的书“充满了日常生活的戏剧性”，尤其是他们最激动人心的时刻，比如快速飞行和狩猎猎物。)”可知，如果你是一个鸟类爱好者，你会喜欢The Peregrine。故选C。 B A new study finds that less than seven percent of the adult population in the US have what health experts consider good cardiometabolic (心脏代谢) health. Using information on roughly 55,000 people over the age of 20, the results show just 6.8 percent of American adults reached optimal (最佳的) levels of health in 2018. Moreover, the study found American health has been in sharp decline over the last 20 years. In 1999, one in three adults had a healthy weight. By 2018, that number fell to just one in four Americans. At the same time, three in five people were free of diabetes in 1999. By 2018, however, more than six in ten adults had the condition! “These numbers are striking. It’s deeply problematic that in the United States, fewer than 1 in 15 adults have optimal cardiometabolic health,” says Meghan O’Hearn, one of the researchers from Tufts University. “We need a complete overhaul (革新) of our healthcare system, food system, and living conditions, because this is a crisis for everyone.” Instead of just looking for signs of disease, the team focused their study on the signs of good, moderate, and poor cardiometabolic health. “Disease is not the only problem,” O’Hearn explains. “We don’t just want to be free of disease. We want to achieve optimal health and well-being.” Researchers also found large health gaps between US adults of different genders, ages, and education levels. Specifically, the study found Americans with less education were half as likely to be in peak cardiometabolic health. O’Hearn adds, “Identifying these individuals and addressing their health conditions and lifestyle early is critical to reducing growing healthcare burdens. Its impacts on national healthcare spending and the financial health of the entire economy are enormous. And these conditions are largely preventable. We have the public health and clinical interventions and policies to be able to address these problems.” 24. What percentage of American adults had optimal cardiometabolic health in 2018? A. Over 7 percent. B. Just 6.8 percent. C. Around 33 percent. D. About 60 percent. 25. What does O’Hearn think of the results of the study? A. They’re unreal. B. They’re acceptable. C. They’re expected. D. They’re shocking. 26. What is the purpose of the team’s research? A. To find the big age gap. B. To help people keep fit. C. To develop new drugs. D. To earn lots of profits. 27. What can we infer from O’Hearn’s words in the last paragraph? A. Joint effort is needed to improve public health. B. Economic growth affects personal health condition. C. America saw a slow decrease in healthcare costs. D. Rich people tend to suffer from health problems. 【答案】24. B 25. D 26. B 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。美国塔夫茨大学的一项研究表明，仅有不到7%的美国成年人心脏代谢健康状况良好。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。由文第二段首句“Using information on roughly 55,000 people over the age of 20, the results show just 6.8 percent of American adults reached optimal levels of health in 2018.”（使用大约5.5万名20岁以上人群的信息，结果显示，2018年只有6.8%的美国成年人达到了最佳状态的健康水平。）可知，只有6.8%的美国成年人达到了最佳状态的心脏代谢健康水平，故选B项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。由文第三段首句““These numbers are striking. It’s deeply problematic that in the United States, fewer than 1 in 15 adults have optimal cardiometabolic health,” says Meghan O’Hearn, one of the researchers from Tufts University.”（塔夫茨大学的研究人员之一Meghan O'Hearn说：“这些数字令人震惊。在美国，只有不到1/15的成年人拥有最佳的心脏代谢健康，这是一个严重的问题。”。）可知，O’Hearn对研究结果表示震惊，故选D项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。由文第四段末句“We don’t just want to be free of disease. We want to achieve optimal health and well-being.”（我们不仅仅想摆脱疾病。我们还想实现最佳的健康和福祉。）可知，该研究团队的目的是，帮助人们保持健康，故选B项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。由文末段第一句“We have the public health and clinical interventions and policies to be able to address these problems.”（我们有公共卫生和临床干预措施和政策来解决这些问题。）可知，O'Hearn认为需要多方协作来提高公众健康水平，故选A项。 C Booking your next vacation to space with out-of-this-world views could soon be a reality. Orbital Assembly Corporation announced two new station concepts designed with space tourism accommodations. One of the stations, called Pioneer, could orbit Earth as early as 2025. The Gateway Foundation circulated ideas for a space hotel in 2019. The goal of the stations is to run a space business park that can serve as a home away from home with room for offices and tourists. Orbital Assembly was founded by the Gateway Foundation team as a way to help make these dreams come true. The proposed Pioneer station can accommodate 28 people. The second station, Voyager, scheduled to open in 2027, can hold up to 400 people. “The goal has always been to make it possible for large numbers of people to live, work and thrive in space,“ says Orbital Assembly’s COO Tim Alatorre. Both stations look like a wheel and will feature artificial gravity that allows guests to move comfortably on each station. Pioneer features five modules built around the rotating “Gravity Ring” architecture design. Tourists may still feel some weightlessness but will also be able to drink out of a cup and won’t have to be tied to a bed to sleep. The gravity works similar to how a spinning bucket pushes the water out to the sides of the bucket and stays in place, Alatorre explains. Near the middle of the station, there will be no artificial gravity, but gravity gradually increases further away from the center. While the Pioneer station will be smaller than Voyager, guests can still shower, eat and drink sitting down in areas with gravity. Each station is furnished like luxury hotels on Earth. Voyager will feature a restaurant and suites with views of Earth. A significant barrier to space travel is the cost. However, Orbital Assembly expects tourists to seek a trek into space as space travel eventually becomes less expensive. “We envision our Pioneer and Voyager space stations as the ultimate ecotourism destinations. Once people get to space, it will change their perspective about Earth,” Alatorre says. “Space travel is still at its early stage, and we’re excited to do our part to push it forward to help improve life on Earth.” 28. What is the goal of the Pioneer and Voyager space stations? A. To revolutionize space travel. B. To serve as luxury hotels in space. C. To offer a unique and immersive experience. D. To enable large scale living and working in space. 29. What do the Pioneer and Voyager stations have in common? A. Open time. B. Artificial gravity. C. Suites with views. D. Passenger capacity. 30. What can we learn from paragraph 4? A. The “Gravity Ring” rotates around the station. B. The gravity is weak in the central point of the station. C. The “Gravity Ring” on Pioneer is identical with that on Voyager. D. The gravity operates like a spinning bucket keeping water inside. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Overcoming the Barrier: Space Tourism Becomes Affordable B. Space Hotels on the Horizon: Pioneer and Voyager Stations C. The Future of Space Travel: Pioneer and Voyager Stations D. Orbital Assembly: Space Tourism Dream Comes True 【答案】28. D 29. B 30. D 31. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了先锋号和旅行者号两个空间站的建设和运行情况。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The goal of the stations is to run a space business park that can serve as a home away from home with room for offices and tourists. Orbital Assembly was founded by the Gateway Foundation team as a way to help make these dreams come true.(这些空间站的目标是运营一个太空商业园区，可以作为一个家外之家，为办公室和游客提供空间。轨道组装公司由盖特韦基金会团队成立，旨在帮助实现这些梦想)”可知，先锋号和旅行者号空间站的目标是使在太空大规模生活和工作成为可能。故选D。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Both stations look like a wheel and will feature artificial gravity that allows guests to move comfortably on each station.(两个空间站看起来都像一个轮子，并将采用人工重力，让乘客在每个车站舒适地移动)”可知，先驱者号和旅行者号空间站的共同之处在于都采用了人工重力。故选B。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The gravity works similar to how a spinning bucket pushes the water out to the sides of the bucket and stays in place, Alatorre explains.(阿拉托雷解释说，重力的作用类似于旋转的水桶将水推到桶的两侧并保持在原地)”可知，重力就像一个旋转的桶，把水锁在里面。故选D。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Booking your next vacation to space with out-of-this-world views could soon be a reality. Orbital Assembly Corporation announced two new station concepts designed with space tourism accommodations. One of the stations, called Pioneer, could orbit Earth as early as 2025.(用地球之外的美景预订下一次太空旅行可能很快就会成为现实。轨道装配公司宣布了两个设计有太空旅游设施的新空间站概念。其中一个名为“先锋”的空间站最早将于2025年绕地球运行)”以及第三段“The second station, Voyager, scheduled to open in 2027, can hold up to 400 people.(第二个空间站“旅行者号”计划于2027年开放，最多可容纳400人)”结合文章主要介绍了先锋号和旅行者号两个空间站的建设和运行情况。可知，B选项“地平线上的太空旅馆：先锋和旅行者空间站”最符合文章标题。故选B。 D Rain or shine, Tsering Chopa treks for long hours to deliver mail. For 18 years, the Tibetan mailman has been a vital link between the remote town and the rest of the world. At 5,373 meters above sea level, Pumachangthang in Nakarze county of the Xizang autonomous region is China’s highest township. The oxygen level is less than 40 percent, the annual average temperature -7°C and the average life expectancy only 49.5 years. The area of the township is about 1,500 square kilometers. The distance from the county town is some 70 km and a single trip to all the six villages can be as long as 160 km. In 2005, Tsering Chopa became the first mailman of his hometown. In nearly two decades since his first mission, he has delivered over a million newspapers, more than 20,000 letters and 10,000-plus parcels in Pumachangthang, and has never been accused of failing or mixing up mail. One night, a local resident Nyima Tsering’s daughter had fainted and desperately needed help. Knowing that, the mailman arranged for a car right away and sent her to the county hospital. He also gave some cash to the family for the girl’s treatment. Nyima Tsering’s daughter recovered soon, and Tsering Chopa became an idol in the village. The busiest time for Tsering Chopa is between July and August each year, when students are waiting for their admission letters from various universities. He recalls once he had to deliver mail to one student whose family had already moved away. He had to ask neighbors several times to find the new address. It was summer and the usual road to the village was blocked because of rain. He trekked for more than 20 km and struggled with shortness of breath all the way to finally deliver the letter. In 2019, Tsering Chopa received the China Youth May Fourth Medal. “It is an acknowledgment of what I do and a token of encouragement as well,” he says. “And I want to help more people living in remote areas. I want to bring the world closer to them and take them closer to the world.” 32. What does the data in paragraph 2 imply? A. The achievements Tsering Chopa has gotten as a postman. B. The disasters Tsering Chopa experienced in his childhood. C. The contributions Tsering Chopa has made for his hometown. D. The challenges for Tsering Chopa to deliver mail in Pumachangthang. 33. How did Tsering Chopa help Nyima Tsering’s daughter? A. By donating a car to her family. B. By making her hospitalized in time. C. By lending money to her family. D. By performing an operation for her. 34. Which of the following words can best describe Tsering Chopa? A. Selfless and determined. B. Brave and confident. C. Optimistic and humorous. D. Creative and generous. 35. Why did Tsering Chopa devote himself to delivering mail? A. To win respect and admiration form the villagers. B. To improve the living conditions of his hometown. C. To further link his hometown to the rest of the world. D. To encourage more poor students to go to universities. 【答案】32. D 33. B 34. A 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。这篇文章讲述了西藏地区一个高海拔的边远乡镇Pumachangthang的邮递员Tsering Chopa在艰苦的条件下长时间跋涉送信的故事。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中一系列数据“5,373 meters above sea level”（海拔5373米）；“The oxygen level is less than 40 percent”（氧含量低于40%）；“the annual average temperature -7°C and the average life expectancy only 49.5 years.”（年平均气温-7℃，平均寿命只有49.5岁）；“The area of the township is about 1,500 square kilometers.”（全乡面积约1500平方公里）；“The distance from the county town is some 70 km and a single trip to all the six villages can be as long as 160 km.”（到县城的距离约为70公里，到所有六个村庄的单程路程可能长达160公里）可推断出，Tsering Chopa的家乡自然条件非常艰苦，他的工作有非常大的挑战性。故选D项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Knowing that, the mailman arranged for a car right away and sent her to the county hospital. He also gave some cash to the family for the girl’s treatment. ”( Tsering Chopa知道了，马上安排了一辆车，把她送到了县医院。他还给了女孩的家人一些现金作为治疗费用。)可知，Tsering Chopa帮忙安排车把Nyima Tsering的女儿及时送到医院救治。故选B项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Rain or shine, Tsering Chopa treks for long hours to deliver mail. For 18 years, the Tibetan mailman has been a vital link between the remote town and the rest of the world.”（无论天晴还是下雨，Tsering Chopa都要长途跋涉好几个小时去投递邮件。18年来，这位西藏邮差一直是这个偏远小镇与世界其他地方之间的重要纽带。）可推断出Tsering Chopa是一位意志力坚定的人；结合第四段讲述他帮助当地一个生病的孩子及时就医，以及第五段经历重重困难才把一封录取通知书送到一个学生手里等事情推知，他是一个大公无私的人。故选A项。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“he says. “And I want to help more people living in remote areas. I want to bring the world closer to them and take them closer to the world.””（他说。“我想帮助更多生活在偏远地区的人。我想让世界离他们更近，让他们离世界更近。”）可知，Tsering Chopa一直奉献在这个岗位上，就是想让他家乡的人们与世界有更多的联系。故选C项。 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。 One of the most important ways to help your child with their friendships is to have open communication with them.____36____.

F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章说明了父母应该如何帮助青少年建立友谊。 【36题详解】 根据后文“This is more important than you focus on telling them what you think. (这比你专注于告诉他们你的想法更重要)”可知，空处所说的内容和telling them what you think进行对比且更重要。C选项“Moreover, aim to listen to what they have to say (此外，目标是倾听他们的意见)”能引起下文，下文中的 This 指代 aim to listen to what they have to say。故选C。 【37题详解】 从下文“Sometimes, friendships are developed because of shared interests, or activities. Other times, social relationships develop between people who may not seem to have much in common but for whatever reason. (有时，友谊是由于共同的兴趣或活动而发展起来的。其他时候，社会关系在看似没有太多共同点的人之间发展，但不管出于什么原因)”可知，友谊建立的原因多种多样，所以E选项“Everyone is allowed to have many friends and many types of friends (每个人都需要朋友，也需要不同类型的朋友)”承接下文，先整体概括需要不同类型的朋友，在详细阐述具体类型。故选E。 【38题详解】 空前“Friends sometimes hurt each other, but they can always apologize and forgive each other. (朋友之间有时会互相伤害，但他们总能互相道歉，互相原谅)”强调朋友之间也存在互相伤害，G项“Good relationships are worth the work to repair the damage caused by any miscommunications (良好的人际关系值得修复任何沟通失误造成的损害)”中的 the damage caused by any miscommunications与空前的 hurt each other 意思表达一致，同时和后文“However, also be sure to pass on the message that some friendships may not be worth saving, particularly for some bad behaviours. (然而，也要确保传递这样的信息:有些友谊可能不值得保存，尤其是一些不好的行为)”形成转折关系。故选G。 【39题详解】 根据其它段落结构可知该空是本段的主旨句。从段首的“Who your teen chooses to be their friend is important. (你的孩子选择谁做他们的朋友很重要)”可知，本段讲述对朋友的选择问题。B项“Choosing friends wisely (明智地选择朋友)”能够概括本段大意。故选B。 【40题详解】 从前文“It takes many learned skills to make and keep a friendship. It also takes many skills to end a friendship. (建立和保持友谊需要许多学到的技能。结束一段友谊也需要很多技巧)”可知，本段既讲述如何维护朋友关系，也讲述如何结束朋友关系，而 F项“If a friendship is becoming hurtful, ending the friendship is a clever choice (如果一段友谊变得伤人，那么结束这段友谊是一个明智的选择)”的ending the friendship 就是说明此问题，符合语境。故选F。 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) I am not sure how many years ago it was.

These yummy nuts ____56____ (know) for their rich, buttery flavor that makes them great for dessert. However, these____57____ (taste) treats are also hard to come by. At $25 per pound, the macadamia nut is also the ____58____ (expensive) nut in the world. So why are macadamia nuts so expensive in the first place? It has a lot to do ____59____ the nuts’ slow harvesting process and costly import prices. It takes a long time for macadamia trees ____60____ (bear) fruit. The nuts are covered in a thick shell that protects them but also makes it difficult to tell ____61____ the fruit is ripe. This means the nuts have to be harvested by hand, ____62____ (make) the process more work-intensive and costly. The nuts are harvested only five to six times a year. For now, macadamia nuts are harvested in Australia, Hawaii, South Africa and Latin America. However, they could soon be readily available in countries ____63____ import them the most. China is reportedly planting macadamia trees so they can grow their own harvests. Reports claim that ____64____ country could produce half of the global macadamia crop by 2022. Once this ____65____ (happen), macadamia nuts might no longer be the most costly nuts in the world. 【答案】56. are known 57. tasty 58. most expensive 59. with 60. to bear 61. whether##if 62. making 63. which##that 64. the 65. happens 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了夏威夷果的价格贵的原因。 【56题详解】 考查谓语。句意：这些美味的坚果以其丰富的黄油味道而闻名，这使它们成为甜点的绝佳选择。分析句子结构可知，此处缺少谓语动词，动词know与主语These yummy nuts之间是动宾关系，因而需用被动语态，短语be known for表示“以……而闻名”，根据句意可知本句在陈述一般事实，应用一般现在时，故填are known。 【57题详解】 考查形容词。句意：然而，这些可口的美味也很难得到。分析句子结构可知，设空处需填入形容词作定语修饰名词treats。故填tasty。 【58题详解】 考查形容词最高级。句意：夏威夷果每磅25美元，也是世界上最昂贵的坚果。根据句意及文章最后一句中的“the most costly nuts in the world”提示可知，设空处需填入形容词的最高级修饰名词nuts，表示“最贵的”，expensive的最高级为the most expensive，句中已有the，故填most expensive。 【59题详解】 考查介词。句意：这与坚果的缓慢收获过程和昂贵的进口价格有很大关系。分析句子结构可知，设空处缺少介词，短语to do with sth表示“与……有关”，符合句意。故填with。 【60题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：夏威夷果树要花很长时间才能结果。本句中It为形式主语，真正的主语为设空处的不定式。故填to bear。 【61题详解】 考查宾语从句连接词。句意：坚果被厚厚的外壳所覆盖，保护着它们，但同时也很难判断果实是否成熟。分析句子结构及句意可知，设空处缺少连接词引导宾语从句，在从句中不作成分，但表示“是否”，因而可以用whether或if 引导。故填whether或if。 【62题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：这意味着坚果必须手工采摘，使得收获过程劳动量更多且成本更高。分析句子结构可知，设空处需填入非谓语动词作结果状语，与逻辑主语之间是主动关系，因而用现在分词形式。故填making。 【63题详解】 考查定语从句连接词。句意：然而，在进口量最大的国家很快就能买到。分析句子结构可知，设空处引导定语从句，先行词为countries，指物，在从句中作主语，因而可以用which或that引导。故填which或that。 【64题详解】 考查冠词。句意：有报道称，到2022年，中国可以生产全球一半的夏威夷果。本句中的country指代前文中出现过的China。因而需用定冠词the修饰。故填the。 【65题详解】 考查时态。句意：一旦这种情况发生，夏威夷果可能不再是世界上最昂贵的坚果了。分析句子结构可知，设空处缺少从句的谓语，由主句及全文的时态可知，从句应使用一般现在时，从句主语是this，为第三人称单数。故填happens。 【点睛】 第四部分 写作(共两节, 满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 66. 阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成 一篇完整的短文。 I yawned (打哈欠)as I got off the last step of the bus. I had woken early that morning, and had not been able to sleep on the long ride from Riverside High, thinking about that day’s race, the Eye Opener. I had never raced in a state-wide race before. Over thirty high school teams ran, along with quite a few colleges. The rest of my team and I unloaded the bus, and we relaxed and waited for our race patiently. “Start warming up,” our coach told us, roughly forty-five minutes after we arrived. After finishing our stretches, we headed over to the starting line, eager for the race to begin. The starter walked to the middle of the field. “There will be two commands,” his voice boomed, ‘‘Runners set, then the gun. If you hear another shot, return to the starting line to start again. ” My heart raced as I got my legs ready to race. “Runners set!” the starter shouted Bam! The gun fired, and he rushed out of our way. Adrenaline (肾上腺素)rushed through my body as I raced through the mass of runners. As I rounded the first turn, my schoolmates greeted me with heartening shouts. Then, in what felt like only one minute, I arrived at the one mile mark. “6’10”, a man declared as I ran by. I tried to ignore him, but my legs began to burn as I realized I had run a mile and still had two to go. I slowed down my pace, for I knew the second mile was the worst of all three. Minutes later, I felt horrible. My legs ached, feeling like lead blocks. My vision was clouded as sweat dropped down into my eyes, and my arms felt as if they would fall off if I swung them one more time. Just as I almost reached my limit, a boy passed me. He also seemed to have lost strength but soon he was a little ahead of me. 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。 I gathered up my strength to speed up but suddenly fell to the ground. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ In the last mile, seeing the athletes passing us one by one, I asked the boy to run without me. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I gathered up my strength to speed up but suddenly fell to the ground. My world was clouded by total darkness. How I wish the ground to crack and swallow me! I could feel everybody was staring at me, widening their mouths and not being able to utter a word. The sudden silence brought sharp pain in my knees and “failure” was the only word flashing in my mind. Then the silence was broken by a deep voice, “You won’t give up so easily, will you? ” The boy ahead of me turned back and pulled me up. “Let’s run to the finishing line together!” The second mile saw its end while we ran shoulder to shoulder. In the last mile, seeing the athletes passing us one by one, I asked the boy to rum without me. “You can win a place if you go by yourself.” I looked at him in the eyes with sweat blurring my sight. The boy breathing heavily, drops of sweat rolled down his face. He shook his head saying,“Winning a place is not that important, isn’t it? ”. Then we smiled at each other as if we had been the only runners. The last mile seemed shorter and we were relieved when we passed the finishing line together with thunderous applause. I knew they cheered for us not for winning a race but for something more important. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者参加全州范围的跑步，在第二英里的时候，因为力尽而摔倒，跑他前面的男孩，鼓励作者，并帮助他一起跑完全程，最后作者明白，比赛中赢不是最重要的，坚持和友谊才是。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我鼓起力量加速，但突然倒在地上。”可知，第一段可描写作者摔倒了后的心情，以及男孩鼓励并帮助作者继续跑下去。 ②由第二段首句内容“跑到最后一英里时，看到运动员们一个接一个地从我们身边经过，我让那个男孩自己跑。”可知，第二段可描写男孩子告诉作者，比赛中赢不是最重要的，并最终帮助作者一起跑过终点和作者的感悟。 2. 续写线索：作者摔倒——男孩帮助——劝男孩放弃自己——男孩拒绝——一起跑过终点——感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①凝视：stare at/gaze at ②(使)变宽：widen/extend/enlarge ③赢得一席之地：win a place/earn a slot ④知道：know/realize/comprehend 情绪类 ①绝望：clouded by total darkness/hopeless/desperate ②如释重负：relieved./in relief 【点睛】[高分句型1]Then we smiled at each other as if we had been the only runners.(as if从句中使用虚拟语气) [高分句型2]The last mile seemed shorter and we were relieved when we passed the finishing line together with thunderous applause.(运用了when引导的时间状语从句) 第二节(满分25分) 67. 假定你是某国际学校的学生，最近你参与创办了一个传统中国画社团，正打算向全校招募成员，请你以社团的名义写一则招募启事，内容如下： 1.启事目的； 2.加入社团的好处； 3.如何加入。 注意: 1. 写作词数应为80左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 New Members Wanted ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Traditional Chinese Painting Club 【答案】 New Members Wanted The traditional Chinese painting club founded two weeks ago is looking for new members.

The few more traditional classrooms, mainly science labs, have glassed walls to maintain the open view. The idea is to create a sense of together ness and develop the students independent learning abilities. Learning here is entirely digital, and learning materials can be acquired online at any time. Study schedules are flexible, and teachers at mostly as coaches, leaving students responsible for their own morning, with one thousand one hundred sixteen to one thousand nine year old running wild, I expected school days to be noisy.
