October Things to do: hike on the Great Wall, photography tour Places to visit: Beijing, Xi’an, Shanghai, Guilin,Jiuzhaigou, Chengdu The best time to go to China is early autumn (October). Most of China has warm temperatures, and the summer rains have stopped (apart from around HongKong and Sanya) so it’s pretty dry. The autumnn colours are also amazing. It is quiet at tourist attractions for most of the month, as the summer holiday travel crowds have gone. But try to avoid October 1 st -7 th, which is the Chinese National Day holiday, as attractions, transport and hotels are packed with Chinese tourists and prices go up a lot. Late Spring (April to May) Things to do: appreciate flowers, Li River cruise, ethnic festivals Places to visit: Beijing, Xi’an, Guilin, Huangshan, GuiZhou, Zhangjiajie The second-best time to travel to China is probably in April and May, when the flowers are in bloom and the temperatures are warming up. In late spring, temperatures across China are getting into the 20s (℃), except the extreme northwest and northeast. While the North of China is still dry, the summer rains have already begun in the South. This could actually improve the view in the form of mountain fog in mountainous areas like the Li River and the Yellow Mountains. Ethnic festivals in GuiZhou are concentrated in April and May, such as the Sisters’ Meal Festival. If you are interested in Miao and Dong ethnic cultures, this is a good time to visit. Travel prices are average: cheaper than June to October, but more expensive than the lower season from November to March. 1. Which time is best if you want to attend the ethnic festivals in GuiZhou? A. April 25 th. B. June 17 th. C. October 1 st. D. November 9 th. 2. Which are the best places to visit in both October and late spring? A. Beijing and Zhangjiajie. B. Shanghai and GuiZhou. C. Xi’an and Guilin. D. Huangshan and Jiuzhaigou. 3. Why is late spring the best time to visit Huangshan? A. Because the summer rains haven’t come yet. B. Because the wet weather adds to its beauty. C. Because there are several special festivals there. D. Because the prices are the lowest of the year. 【答案】1. A 2. C 3. B 【解析】 【分析】本文主要介绍了两个访问中国的最佳时间。 【1题详解】 A 细节理解题。根据Late Spring (April to May)中的Things to do: appreciate flowers, Li River cruise, ethnic festivals.可知，要在一年的四月份到五月份期间过the ethnic festivals这个节日。故选A。 【2题详解】 C 细节理解题。根据October中的Places to visit: Beijing, Xi’an, Shanghai, Guilin,Jiuzhaigou, Chengdu.和Late Spring (April to May)中的Places to visit: Beijing, Xi’an, Guilin, Huangshan, GuiZhou, Zhangjiajie.可知，在十月和晚春时节最佳旅游地点是西安和桂林。故选C。 【3题详解】 B 细节理解题。根据Late Spring (April to May)中的This could actually improve the view in the form of mountain fog in mountainous areas like the Li River and the Yellow Mountains.可知，晚春的湿润天气使黄山更加美丽了。故选B。 B My violin is like a soul mate that whispers words of wisdom to me. Together, we've gone through both tears and happiness. About 12 years ago, I knew it following an order from my mom. Many hours of boredom were spent practicing it. And to make things worse, the disappointment in my teacher's eyes as I played the wrong notes was like an invisible hammer, striking on my heart. One day, I finally decided: I hate it! By chance, things changed when I was seven. I was at home lying on the sofa, wondering how those famous violinists dealt with this terrible dilemma. I searched online for the E-minor Concerto, a well-known violin work by German composer Felix Mendelssohn, and listened to it. A beautiful and mysterious sound came from the violin as the bow (琴弓) moved across it. It was like the music slid over the flowers, rose up, and started to fill the air. The violin's voice woke up the sun, made the trees green, and freshened the air. As the music changed, the sky turned back to gray. A gloomy shade covered the grass as all the sunshine disappeared. I could hear children crying and men shouting. It was like an invisible claw had grabbed my heart tightly, making it unable to beat. That glorious day set off my passion and, interest in violin—I grabbed mine and never let it go. Before the memories faded, I stared at my instrument. Without hesitating, I picked it up, rosined the bow, and began to play. Peace filled my heart. My violin has been by my side for 12 years. When I feel happy, an energetic tune makes it even better; when I'm deep in sorrow, a peaceful tune washes it away, when I'm walking on air, feeling especially pleased with my achievements, solemn tunes calm me down. Gradually, it has become a part of my life. My violin, shall I compare you to a summer's day? 4. What further led to the author's dislike of violin-playing? A. Orders from Mum. B. Boredom of practice. C. Disappointment in the teacher's eyes. D. Loss of passion for violin. 5. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4? A. The author's feeling was continuously influenced by the music. B. The weather actually changed because of the tune. C. The sudden change made the author's heart unable to beat. D. The scenery outside the room was quite attractive. 6. Why did the author pick up the violin again? A. The invisible hammer and claw are gone. B. The beautiful imagination changed his attitude. C. A famous tune aroused his interest and passion. D. He was crazy about Felix Mendelssohn's works. 7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Musical soul mate—violin. B. My dislike and like of violin. C. An inspiring story of violin. D. Deep love for music. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，作者讲述了自己小时候被妈妈要求学小提琴，后来由于无聊和失望而放弃，无意中因为一首名曲又有了学习的热情，一直坚持了12年到现在，小提琴已经成了生活的一部分，成了作者的灵魂伴侣。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“And to make things worse, the disappointment in my teacher's eyes as I played the wrong notes was like an invisible hammer, striking on my heart. One day, I finally decided: I hate it!(更糟糕的是，当我弹错音符时，老师眼中的失望就像一把无形的锤子，敲打着我的心。有一天，我终于决定：我讨厌它！)”可知，当作者演奏错误时老师失望的眼神加剧了作者对小提琴的不喜欢。故选C。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“It was like the music slid over the flowers, rose up, and started to fill the air. The violin's voice woke up the sun, made the trees green, and freshened the air. As the music changed, the sky turned back to gray.(它就像音乐滑过花朵，上升，并开始充满空气。小提琴的声音唤醒了太阳，使树木变绿，使空气清新。随着音乐的变化，天空又变成了灰色)”可知，这些对优美琴声的描写，表现了琴声对人心情的影响，人的心情会随着音乐而变化。由此判断出作者的感受不断受到音乐的影响。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“I searched online for the E-minor Concerto, a well-known violin work by German composer Felix Mendelssohn, and listened to it.(我在网上搜索了德国作曲家门德尔松的著名小提琴作品E小调协奏曲，并听了它)”以及第五段中“That glorious day set off my passion and interest in violin—I grabbed mine and never let it go.(那辉煌的一天点燃了我对小提琴的热情和兴趣——我紧紧抓住我的激情，永不放弃)”可知，Felix Mendelssohn的E-minor Concerto这首名曲让作者对小提琴又有了兴趣和热情，故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“My violin is like a soul mate that whispers words of wisdom to me. Together, we've gone through both tears and happiness.(我的小提琴就像一个灵魂伴侣，向我低语着智慧的话语。我们一起经历了泪水和幸福)”结合文章中作者讲述了自己小时候被妈妈要求学小提琴，后来由于无聊和失望而放弃，无意中因为一首名曲又有了学习的热情，一直坚持了12年到现在，小提琴已经成为了作者生活的一部分，成了灵魂伴侣。由此可知D选项“音乐灵魂伴侣——小提琴”适合作为标题。故选A。 C The other day, my parents stopped by and dropped off a birthday gift to me. After the visit I watched my parents walking down my front steps toward their car. My father took my mother by the arm and slowly and carefully helped her step down the small steps, which hit me really hard. It has been happening slowly over the years. Because my own life has been going through so much change (my kids have grown up and moved out over these years), I had somehow simply failed to notice just how much my own parents were aging. As a child we see our dads as these big strong men who work hard, protect us, and just take care of things. We see our moms as our caretakers who are always there to make sure our needs are attended to so we always know we are loved. All through my growing up they looked the same to me. That is how they have always seemed to me. Now I see a little gray haired mom who is fragile and breakable, and I see a gray haired father who walks a little slower than he once did. The thought made me break into tears. And I realize I need to spend more time with my parents. I need to make sure I get their advice now on the things I should know for the future so I don't waste my chance to get it while they are still both here with me. I need to ask them to tell me more stories about their own life and all the lessons they have learned. Let's all make an effort to make more time for them and make sure they feel appreciated while we still have them with us. 8. Why did the author refer to her parents' visit? A. Her parents bought a special gift for her. B. She was longing for her parents' coming. C. She overlooked her parents getting old. D. Her parents seldom came to her house. 9. What can we infer from the first paragraph? A. The author has raised her kids on her own. B. The author hardly pays a visit to her parents. C. The author has a poor relationship with her kids. D. The author felt guilty while watching her parents. 10. What does the author want to do in the future? A. To get more attention from her parents. B. To devote more time to her parents. C. To listen to her parents' advice carefully. D. To get a caretaker to attend her parents. 11. Which is the proper title for the passage? A. Aging Is Really a Fact We Have to Accept B. Learn More from Parents While They Are Clear C. Love Your Parents Before They Get Too Old D. Accompany Your Parents Before It's Too Late 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。主要说有一天作者突然意识到父母在一天一天变老，决定抽出更多的时间陪伴父母。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“My father took my mother by the arm and slowly and carefully helped her step down the small steps, which hit me really hard.”（我父亲抓着母亲的胳膊慢慢小心地帮她走下小台阶，这真的让我很触动。）以及最后一句的“I had somehow simply failed to notice just how much my own parents were aging.”（不知道怎么的，我就是没有注意到我自己的父母已经老了很多）可以看出她忽视了父母在一天天变老，故选择C项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“My father took my mother by the arm and slowly and carefully helped her step down the small steps, which hit me really hard. It has been happening slowly over the years.”（我父亲抓着母亲胳膊慢慢小心地帮他走下小台阶，这真的让我很触动。这些年，这一切都在缓慢地发生着。）可知，这次父母的来访，突然发现他们变老了，而作者平时没有注意到父母在变老，因此为自己的忽视感到内疚。故选择D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Let's all make an effort to make more time for them and make sure they feel appreciated while we still have them with us.”（让我们尽可能多的找时间陪伴他们，确保他们还陪伴在我们身边时，感到被重视。）可知，作者会用更多的时间去陪伴父母，故选择B项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合最后一段“The thought made me break into tears. And I realize I need to spend more time with my parents.”（这个想法让我哭了出来，我意识到我需要花更多的时间来陪伴我的父母。）可知，有一天作者突然发现在她心目中强大，年轻的父母也变老了，意识到自己应该多找出些时间来陪伴、照顾他们。所以短文的最佳标题为“趁现在还来得及，陪陪父母”。故选择D项。 D The grocery store might not be your favorite place to visit when you're at home, but is it ever fun when you're in another country? Honestly speaking, they're one of those strange little destinations that I like to sniff out everywhere I go, much as other travelers head toward clothing stores, libraries, coffee shops or galleries. The greatest beauty of the grocery store –– whether it's a supermarket or a tiny shop –– is that it gives you a glimpse into what local people buy to cook their own meals. This offers clues into their lifestyles and preferences, and into the agricultural and cooking practices of the country. I stare at the strange fruits and vegetables, the seafood, the cheese, the spices, the bread, and oh, the chocolate...always the chocolate! Being the environmental nerd（呆子）I am, I like paying attention to packaging, which can reflect people's attitudes towards environmental protection. Italy, for example, has a habit of requiring customers to bag their fruits and vegetables in plastic for weighing, while Sri Lanka leaves everything loose in bins. In Brazil, everything is prepackaged in a layer of plastic. People in grocery stores tend to be friendlier. They smile, say hello, and sometimes ask questions, which can lead to great conversations. I had a further discussion with a teenaged cashier in Sri Lanka, over which bag of crunchy（松脆的）mix to buy. He insisted that the one labeled “spicy” would be too hot for me, but I told him I was willing to risk it. He laughed and we ended up talking about my favorite Sri Lankan foods for ten minutes. It's interesting then to come home and look at one's own local grocery store through new eyes. What would a visitor think? What stands out, and what do the food displays say about us as a culture? You might be surprised by what you realize. 12. According to the author, what is the key benefit of visiting foreign grocery stores? A. Learning to cook foreign dishes. B. Making friends with local people. C. Buying cheaper food and souvenirs. D. Knowing local people and the country. 13. What does the author show by mentioning some countries in paragraph 3? A. People's special lifestyles. B. People's shopping habits. C. People's environmental awareness. D. People's packaging methods. 14 What can we infer from paragraph 4? A. Sri Lankans know a lot about food. B. Grocery stores are good social places. C. Grocery stores vary in different countries. D. Sri Lankans like to give strangers suggestions. 15. Which of the following shows the structure of text? (P: paragraph) A. B. C. D. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过介绍自己旅行时喜欢去食品杂货店的经历来建议人们在旅游时去当地的食品杂货店看看。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“This offers clues into their lifestyles and preferences, and into the agricultural and cooking practices of the country. (这为了解他们的生活方式和喜好，以及这个国家的农业和烹饪习惯提供了线索)”可知，去另一个国家的杂货店购物的最大好处是了解当地人民和国家。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“Being an environmental person I am, I like paying attention to packaging, which can reflect their attitude towards environmental protection. (我是一个环保人士，我喜欢关注包装，这可以反映他们对环保的态度)”可知，本段是讲不同国家对环保的态度，所以作者提及这几个国家是为了展示他们的环保意识。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段第一句和第二句“People in grocery stores tend to be friendlier. They smile, say hello, and sometimes ask questions, which can lead to great conversations. (杂货店里的人往往更友好。他们会微笑，打招呼，有时还会问问题，这些都会带来很棒的对话)”可知，在杂货店可以和许多人交流，而根据第三句“I had a further discussion with a teenaged cashier in Sri Lanka. (我和斯里兰卡的一个十几岁的收银员进行了进一步的讨论)”可知，第四段讲述“我”在杂货店里和收银员发生的愉快讨论。从这个例子我们可以知道杂货店往往是一个好的社交场所。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段第二句“Honestly speaking, they're one of those strange little destinations that I like to sniff out (寻找) everywhere I go, much as other travelers head toward clothing stores, libraries, cafes or galleries. (说实话，它们是那些我所到之处都喜欢去的奇怪的小目的地之一，就像其他游客去服装店、图书馆、咖啡馆或画廊一样)”可知，作者去国外时最喜欢逛当地的杂货店，第二段到第四段都在讲去杂货店的好处。最后一段的第一句“It's interesting then to come home and look at one's own local grocery store through new eyes.(然后回到家用新的眼光看看自己的杂货店会是很有趣的)”以及下文的问题可知作者最后总结了旅行时逛杂货店的益处。故选C。 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。 Some people succeed, while others do not.

Fortunately 44. had been 45. one 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。本文描述的是作者有一天在迪拜购物中心，一位工友警告说沙尘暴即将来临，并建议不要外出，由于作者没有见过沙尘暴，所以跟工友说想出去看看，工友感到很惊讶，认为作者疯了，在作者外出经历了沙尘暴之后，感到后悔宁愿自己没有外出的故事。 【详解】1.考查宾语从句。句意：我不知道沙尘暴是什么样子，我告诉他我想出去看看。分析句子可知此处包含一个定语从句，从句缺少宾语，由句意“沙尘暴看起来是什么样子”可知，应用what引导该从句。故填what。 2. 考查形容词。句意：我收到一个惊讶的眼神，因为他认为我疯了，甚至想看到沙尘暴。分析句子结合句意可知，空处应填入形容词作定语，修饰名词look，此处修饰人的感情，要用-ed结尾形容词。故填astonished。 3. 考查动词时态。句意：另一个工友也加入了我的行列，他正朝着和我一样的街道走去。分析句子可知空处为句子的谓语，由“as 当……时”可知，这里要用过去进行时，主语he为第三人称单数，系动词应用was，故填was heading。 4. 考查介词。句意：为了抵御沙尘暴，我们蒙着脸走出迪拜购物中心。根据句意可知此处表示“离开”，短语“step off”表示“离开”。故填off。 5. 考查非谓语动词。句意：为了抵御沙尘暴，我们蒙着脸走出迪拜购物中心。句子已有谓语动词stepped off，所以cover在句中应使用非谓语动词形式，结合句意可知，cover与逻辑主语faces之间为被动关系，所以用过去分词表被动，故填covered。 6. 考查形容词比较级。句意：在路上，风变得更大了，把城市笼罩在一层厚厚的棕黄色灰尘里。由句意和much修饰比较级可知，此处形容词应用比较级形式，故填stronger。 7. 考查动词时态。句意：在那一刻，我宁愿我没有出去。由would rather可知，此处表示对过去的虚拟，时态用过去完成时had(not)done，故填hadn't gone。 8. 考查副词。句意：幸运的是，沙尘暴后来停止了。分析句子结构结合句意可知，此处应用副词作状语，修饰句子。故填Fortunately。 9. 考查动词时态。句意：这是我第一次在迪拜遇到沙尘暴，我不想再遇到沙尘暴了。在固定句型“It was the first (second, third…) time that +从句”的结构中，从句时态用过去完成时。故填had been。 10. 考查代词。句意：这是我第一次在迪拜遇到沙尘暴，我不想再遇到沙尘暴了。分析句子可知，此处缺少宾语，由句意可知，宾语泛指“沙尘暴”，所以应用代词one。故填one。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 46. 假定你是 Jane，你的笔友李华最近因为考试密集、学业繁重，身体感到不适，严重影响了学习。因此，他发电子邮件给你，寻求你的建议和帮助。请你根据以下要点提示予以回复。写作要点： 1.合理的饮食； 2.适度的锻炼； 3.保证充足的睡眠等。 注意：1.词数 80左右； 2.开头和结尾部分已写好，不计入总词数； 3.可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Dear Li Hua, I’m sorry to hear that you are feeling ill these days. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Best wishes!

He had been suspended (使停学) many times in previous years because of his anger issues. When he entered my class, I thought the worst. Tyler sat in the back row. Every time I talked to the class, I would ask students questions, calling them by name. Unfortunately, every time I called on Tyler, he would respond with a joke. If he got an answer wrong, he would become angry. About a month into the year, I was still trying to connect with Tyler. I can usually get students involved in class discussions or at least have them sit quietly and attentively (专心地). By contrast, Tyler was often loud and sometimes rude. He had been in so much trouble over the years. He expected his teachers to know about his past; about how many times he had been sent to the office or suspended from school. I had found that these sorts of referrals (移交) were not very effective and that students would return from the office behaving worse than before. One day, Tyler was talking over me while I was teaching. I stopped my lesson and said, “Tyler, why don’t you join in our discussion instead of having one of your own?” With that, he got up from his chair, pushed it over and yelled something. I can’t remember what he said other than that he included some impolite words. I sent Tyler straight to the office, and he received a week’s suspension. To this point, this was one of my worst teaching experiences. Tyler’s anger was almost too much for me. The week Tyler was suspended from school was a wonderful time, and we got a lot accomplished as a class. However, the suspension week would soon come to an end, and I was fearful of his return. 续写要求： 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。 On the day of Tyler’s return, I stood at the door awaiting him. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A spark of surprise flashed across his face. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 On the day of Tyler’s return, I stood at the door awaiting him. At last he came, walking with his hands in his pockets. That image immediately brought back memories of the boy throwing a tantrum in class the other day. Yet I managed to restrain my anger this time. These past few days, I had been building a wall between us with blame and punishment, so I thought to myself that maybe I should try another way. “I want to apologize for the quarrel that we had in the middle of class, and I’m really sorry if it hurt your feelings,” I said, finally breaking the ice. A spark of surprise flashed across his face. The naughty boy froze there, staring at me with wide eyes. It was clear that he had never heard an apology from a teacher before. “It is I who should say sorry,” he murmured, his face burning with shame, “I should have learned to control myself.” With a smile, I stepped forward and patted him on his shoulder, signaling to him to go back to his seat. In the days that followed, Tyler didn’t misbehave in class anymore and took an active part in class discussions. I had never expected “understanding” could make such a huge difference — it turned one of my worst teaching experiences into perhaps the best one. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者的学生泰勒很难控制自己的情绪，很容易生气。在课堂上其他同学讨论问题时他总是吵闹，这让作者很无奈。一天泰勒和作者说话时说了一些粗鲁的话，所以他被送到办公室，并被停课一周。作者很担心泰勒回到学校后会有什么表现。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“泰勒回来的那天，我站在门口等他。”可知，第一段可描写泰勒回来后，作者对过去的做法进行了反思并主动给泰勒道歉。 ②由第二段首句内容“他脸上闪过一丝惊讶的光芒。”可知，第二段可描写作者的做法打动了泰勒，泰勒也做出道歉并改过自新。 2.续写线索：忍住怒火——深刻反思——主动道歉——感到惊讶——认识错误——改过自新 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①等待：await/wait for ②控制：restrain/control/hold back ③低语：murmur/whisper 情绪类 ①抱歉的：sorry/regretful ②愤怒：anger/rage/indignation 【点睛】【高分句型1】These past few days, I had been building a wall between us with blame and punishment, so I thought to myself that maybe I should try another way.(运用了that引导的宾语从句) 【高分句型2】It was clear that he had never heard an apology from a teacher before.(运用了形式主语it和that引导的主语从句) 【高分句型3】In the days that followed, Tyler didn’t misbehave in class anymore and took an active part in class discussions.(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 $ 绝密★启用前 合肥百花中学等四校2024~2025学年度第二学期高二年级期末考试 英语 本试卷共8页，全卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 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，用铅笔把答题卡对应题目的答案涂黑。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。 3.考试结束后，将本试题和答题卡一并交回。 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.

October Things to do: hike on the Great Wall, photography tour Places to visit: Beijing, Xi’an, Shanghai, Guilin,Jiuzhaigou, Chengdu The best time to go to China is early autumn (October). Most of China has warm temperatures, and the summer rains have stopped (apart from around HongKong and Sanya) so it’s pretty dry. The autumnn colours are also amazing. It is quiet at tourist attractions for most of the month, as the summer holiday travel crowds have gone. But try to avoid October 1 st -7 th, which is the Chinese National Day holiday, as attractions, transport and hotels are packed with Chinese tourists and prices go up a lot. Late Spring (April to May) Things to do: appreciate flowers, Li River cruise, ethnic festivals Places to visit: Beijing, Xi’an, Guilin, Huangshan, GuiZhou, Zhangjiajie The second-best time to travel to China is probably in April and May when the flowers are in bloom and the temperatures are warming up. In late spring, temperatures across China are getting into the 20s (℃), except the extreme northwest and northeast. While the North of China is still dry, the summer rains have already begun in the South. This could actually improve the view in the form of mountain fog in mountainous areas like the Li River and the Yellow Mountains. Ethnic festivals in GuiZhou are concentrated in April and May, such as the Sisters’ Meal Festival. If you are interested in Miao and Dong ethnic cultures, this is a good time to visit. Travel prices are average: cheaper than June to October, but more expensive than the lower season from November to March. 1. Which time is best if you want to attend the ethnic festivals in GuiZhou? A. April 25 th. B. June 17 th. C. October 1 st. D. November 9 th. 2. Which are the best places to visit in both October and late spring? A. Beijing and Zhangjiajie. B. Shanghai and GuiZhou. C. Xi’an and Guilin. D. Huangshan and Jiuzhaigou. 3. Why is late spring the best time to visit Huangshan? A. Because the summer rains haven’t come yet. B. Because the wet weather adds to its beauty. C. Because there are several special festivals there. D. Because the prices are the lowest of the year. B My violin is like a soul mate that whispers words of wisdom to me. Together, we've gone through both tears and happiness. About 12 years ago, I knew it following an order from my mom. Many hours of boredom were spent practicing it. And to make things worse, the disappointment in my teacher's eyes as I played the wrong notes was like an invisible hammer, striking on my heart. One day, I finally decided: I hate it! By chance, things changed when I was seven. I was at home lying on the sofa, wondering how those famous violinists dealt with this terrible dilemma. I searched online for the E-minor Concerto, a well-known violin work by German composer Felix Mendelssohn, and listened to it. A beautiful and mysterious sound came from the violin as the bow (琴弓) moved across it. It was like the music slid over the flowers, rose up, and started to fill the air. The violin's voice woke up the sun, made the trees green, and freshened the air. As the music changed, the sky turned back to gray. A gloomy shade covered the grass as all the sunshine disappeared. I could hear children crying and men shouting. It was like an invisible claw had grabbed my heart tightly, making it unable to beat. That glorious day set off my passion and, interest in violin—I grabbed mine and never let it go. Before the memories faded, I stared at my instrument. Without hesitating, I picked it up, rosined the bow, and began to play. Peace filled my heart. My violin has been by my side for 12 years. When I feel happy, an energetic tune makes it even better; when I'm deep in sorrow, a peaceful tune washes it away, when I'm walking on air, feeling especially pleased with my achievements, solemn tunes calm me down. Gradually, it has become a part of my life. My violin, shall I compare you to a summer's day? 4. What further led to the author's dislike of violin-playing? A. Orders from Mum. B. Boredom of practice. C. Disappointment in the teacher's eyes. D. Loss of passion for violin. 5. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4? A. The author's feeling was continuously influenced by the music. B. The weather actually changed because of the tune. C. The sudden change made the author's heart unable to beat. D. The scenery outside the room was quite attractive. 6. Why did the author pick up the violin again? A. The invisible hammer and claw are gone. B. The beautiful imagination changed his attitude. C. A famous tune aroused his interest and passion. D. He was crazy about Felix Mendelssohn's works. 7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Musical soul mate—violin. B. My dislike and like of violin. C. An inspiring story of violin. D. Deep love for music. C The other day, my parents stopped by and dropped off a birthday gift to me. After the visit I watched my parents walking down my front steps toward their car. My father took my mother by the arm and slowly and carefully helped her step down the small steps, which hit me really hard. It has been happening slowly over the years. Because my own life has been going through so much change (my kids have grown up and moved out over these years), I had somehow simply failed to notice just how much my own parents were aging. As a child we see our dads as these big strong men who work hard, protect us, and just take care of things. We see our moms as our caretakers who are always there to make sure our needs are attended to so we always know we are loved. All through my growing up they looked the same to me. That is how they have always seemed to me. Now I see a little gray haired mom who is fragile and breakable, and I see a gray haired father who walks a little slower than he once did. The thought made me break into tears. And I realize I need to spend more time with my parents. I need to make sure I get their advice now on the things I should know for the future so I don't waste my chance to get it while they are still both here with me. I need to ask them to tell me more stories about their own life and all the lessons they have learned. Let's all make an effort to make more time for them and make sure they feel appreciated while we still have them with us. 8. Why did the author refer to her parents' visit? A. Her parents bought a special gift for her. B. She was longing for her parents' coming. C. She overlooked her parents getting old. D. Her parents seldom came to her house. 9 What can we infer from the first paragraph? A. The author has raised her kids on her own. B. The author hardly pays a visit to her parents. C. The author has a poor relationship with her kids. D. The author felt guilty while watching her parents. 10. What does the author want to do in the future? A. To get more attention from her parents. B. To devote more time to her parents. C. To listen to her parents' advice carefully. D. To get a caretaker to attend her parents. 11. Which is the proper title for the passage? A. Aging Is Really a Fact We Have to Accept B. Learn More from Parents While They Are Clear C. Love Your Parents Before They Get Too Old D. Accompany Your Parents Before It's Too Late D The grocery store might not be your favorite place to visit when you're at home, but is it ever fun when you're in another country? Honestly speaking, they're one of those strange little destinations that I like to sniff out everywhere I go, much as other travelers head toward clothing stores, libraries, coffee shops or galleries. The greatest beauty of the grocery store –– whether it's a supermarket or a tiny shop –– is that it gives you a glimpse into what local people buy to cook their own meals. This offers clues into their lifestyles and preferences, and into the agricultural and cooking practices of the country. I stare at the strange fruits and vegetables, the seafood, the cheese, the spices, the bread, and oh, the chocolate...always the chocolate! Being the environmental nerd（呆子）I am, I like paying attention to packaging, which can reflect people's attitudes towards environmental protection. Italy, for example, has a habit of requiring customers to bag their fruits and vegetables in plastic for weighing, while Sri Lanka leaves everything loose in bins. In Brazil, everything is prepackaged in a layer of plastic. People in grocery stores tend to be friendlier. They smile, say hello, and sometimes ask questions, which can lead to great conversations. I had a further discussion with a teenaged cashier in Sri Lanka, over which bag of crunchy（松脆的）mix to buy. He insisted that the one labeled “spicy” would be too hot for me, but I told him I was willing to risk it. He laughed and we ended up talking about my favorite Sri Lankan foods for ten minutes.

Jane 第二节(满分25分) 47. 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。 My Best Teaching Experience Tyler was only in my senior class for a semester. He had been suspended (使停学) many times in previous years because of his anger issues. When he entered my class, I thought the worst. Tyler sat in the back row. Every time I talked to the class, I would ask students questions, calling them by name. Unfortunately, every time I called on Tyler, he would respond with a joke. If he got an answer wrong, he would become angry. About a month into the year, I was still trying to connect with Tyler. I can usually get students involved in class discussions or at least have them sit quietly and attentively (专心地). By contrast, Tyler was often loud and sometimes rude. He had been in so much trouble over the years. He expected his teachers to know about his past; about how many times he had been sent to the office or suspended from school. I had found that these sorts of referrals (移交) were not very effective and that students would return from the office behaving worse than before. One day, Tyler was talking over me while I was teaching. I stopped my lesson and said, “Tyler, why don’t you join in our discussion instead of having one of your own?” With that, he got up from his chair, pushed it over and yelled something. I can’t remember what he said other than that he included some impolite words. I sent Tyler straight to the office, and he received a week’s suspension. To this point, this was one of my worst teaching experiences. Tyler’s anger was almost too much for me. The week Tyler was suspended from school was a wonderful time, and we got a lot accomplished as a class. However, the suspension week would soon come to an end, and I was fearful of his return. 续写要求： 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。 On the day of Tyler’s return, I stood at the door awaiting him. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A spark of surprise flashed across his face. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
