Here are some of the best places to see the northern lights around the world. Tromso, Norway Tromso is right in the center of the Norwegian Arctic aurora zone. This city has the best northern light views from September to April. Travelers can stay in Thon Hotel Tromso, a mid-range hotel that offers viewing spots on the roof deck.

B In many countries, outdoor play is encouraged all year round, regardless of weather, temperature, or amount of light. What kinds of benefits might result from taking part in outdoor education classes, even if it is just once a week for an hour and a half or so? In order to estimate the impact of joining an outdoor education program, five children between the ages of 5 and 8 from different families were selected to participate in a winter session (冬季训练课) and another group of 11 children between the ages of 5 and 11 were not and had not ever been in any nature-based classes. In addition to similarity in age, the participating families from either group had very similar incomes, education levels, and cultural backgrounds. The researchers observed the five children in the nature class and interviewed them at the end and they did the same to the 11 children in another group. The children were observed and asked questions to assess their independence, self—discipline, curiosity and adventure, motor skills, and appreciation of nature. For each question, researchers provided scores from 1 to 6. They then added scores from all the rated questions within each section to determine the total scores for all five categories. Comparisons were made between children who attended outdoor education classes and those who did not for each of the total scores. Results indicated that while total ratings did not differ for the independence, self- discipline, or motor skill categories, children who attended nature-based classes were reported to have significantly higher levels of curiosity and adventure and a significantly higher appreciation and connection to nature than the children who did not. A more detailed analysis of specific items that differed between the two groups found that the children in the outdoor education classes were reported to spend significantly more time playing outside on non-school days; they were more likely to pick up garbage if they saw it, to enjoy nature walks or hikes, to enjoy getting dirty from playing outside, to play with natural materials outside, and to show interest in nature when playing alone outside. 4. How does the author organize the second paragraph? A. By giving examples. B. By analyzing causes. C. By making comparisons. D. By following time order. 5. What quality can outdoor education classes help you develop best? A. Thirst for knowledge. B. Enthusiasm for nature. C. Sense of independence. D. Value of self-discipline 6. What can we know about the children in the outdoor education classes from the passage? A. They preferred studying even harder at home. B. They were likely to be better at playing basketball. C. Their parents are usually rich and highly educated. D. They enjoyed playing outside more and behaved better. 7. What is the best title of the passage? A. How we score the five categories from the rated questions. B. What the children were observed and asked questions to assess. C. The children between 5 and 8 benefit most from outdoor education. D. Regular outdoor education improves curiosity and connection to nature. C Livestreaming is a kind of e-commerce and marketing and sales method. It combines live product demonstrations, time-limited pricing promotions, live negotiations, and instant ordering through online streaming services hosted either by an influencer studio, or online store. Livestreaming removes barriers between brands and consumers. While it is focused on driving short term sales, livestreaming can enable firms to improve marketing efficiency by combining brand marketing and performance marketing. There are certain factors that will increase the chance of success. Brands should not use livestreaming as a short-term sales booster but as a long-term way to remove barriers between brands and consumers. Specifically, brands could better demonstrate their products in this way, tell fuller brand stories, introduce emotional and cultural elements to their products, obtain instant feedback, conduct product trials, improve marketing efficiency by combining brand marketing and performance marketing, use different livestream hosts to build a bridge for the consumers and cultivate brand loyalty. Of course, Livestreaming is not without drawbacks, however. For ads on TV, government has clear rules to forbid brands parading the before-and-after effects of health products. The restrictions are not clear yet for internet-based livestreaming, and health products are frequently promoted by livestreamers. We need to continue to monitor regulatory updates carefully. As promoting products through live-streaming has been compared to “tuning clicks into cash,” some people have made illegal profits by creating false prosperity. Through the purchase of fake followers to increase shares and comments, some live streamers can falsify their rate of engagement to cheat brands and companies in an effort to win more trust and make more money. Meanwhile, live-streams have also faced issues like the return, refund and exchange of products. 8. What does the author advise the brands to do with Livestreaming? A. To achieve as much sales as possible. B. To focus more on brand marketing. C. To remove barriers between brands and consumers. D. To build a bridge between consumers and government. 9. What does the underlined word “parading” probably mean? A. Overstating B. Comparing C. Displaying D. Describing 10. How do live streamers create false prosperity? A. By promoting the products as hard as possible. B. By creating fake comments and shares. C. By speaking highly of the brands and firms. D. By refusing the exchange and the refund of products. 11. What’s the author’s attitude towards Livestreaming? A Supportive B. Neutral C. Critical D. Doubtful D Adults should prioritize book reading, which helps promote mental health, according to a global study conducted in 2023. Researchers surveyed 15,000 participants aged 25-60 across 25 countries, combining questionnaires with cognitive tests. The findings highlight alarming trends and solutions. In the past decade, weekly reading rates dropped sharply. Only 33% of adults read books weekly, compared to 51% in2013. Chinese adults demonstrated slightly higher engagement, with 38% reading printed books monthly — higher than the global average of 29%. However, 63% admitted to spending over 3.5 hours daily on short video or social media. European nations like Italy and Spain mirrored this pattern, where 68% cited “exhaustion from work” as the primary barrier. Regular readers demonstrated significant advantages. Those dedicating over 5 hours weekly to books scored 28% higher in memory and problem-solving assessments. Emotionally, 43% of frequent readers reported effective stress management techniques, versus 19% among non-readers. Brain scans showed that sustained reading strengthens neural pathways in the prefrontal cortex (大脑前额叶皮层), which governs decision-making. Dr. Helen Park, a neurologist from Yale, explains: “Deep reading acts as cognitive training, much like lifting weights for the mind.” Cultural divides appeared in content preferences. Asian readers prioritized educational materials — 58% chose history, science, or career-related books. In contrast, 61% of Western participants favored fiction for relaxation. Digital adoption also varied: e-books accounted for 70% of adult reading in the U. S. and U. K., while 76% of Asian readers preferred printed books. Researchers link this to cultural traditions; for instance, China’s book-friendly society concept emphasizes tactile (触觉的) and visual engagement with texts. The study proposes actionable strategies. Governments are urged to launch workplace reading initiatives — companies like Siemens and Huawei now offer 20-minute paid “reading breaks” daily, observing 15-20% productivity increases. Schools should inspire parental reading through community programs. “Reading isn’t a luxury — it’s a lifelong health investment,” insists Dr. Carlos Mendez, the study’s lead author. “Even 12 minutes daily builds mental resilience (恢复力) across lifetimes.” 12. What method did researchers use to study reading’s impact on the brain? A. Interviews with educators. B. Analysis of book sales data. C. Social media usage tracking. D. Brain scans and cognitive tests. 13. Why might Chinese readers prefer printed books? A. Limited access to e-books. B. Influence of traditional values. C. Lower costs of printed materials. D. Government restrictions on digital content. 14. How does Dr. Carlos Mendez view reading? A. Asa luxury for the wealthy. B. As a popular trend in society. C. As a way to restore mental power. D. As a substitute for physical exercise. 15. Which is the best title for the text? A. Reading Decline: Causes and Fixes B. Work Stress: The Main Barrier to Reading C. Digital Books vs. Paper Books:A Global Debate D. Short Videos: The Killer of Traditional Reading 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分, 满分 12.5 分） 根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中的两项为多余选项。 What will you do if you can’t eat everything bought in the canteen? ___16___ According to a survey, what students waste every year could feed over 10 million people. ___17___ According to Xinhua News Agency, the food wasted by Chinese people is about 50 million tons of grain every year, which could feed 200 million people.

Then I smelt something delicious—the hot dog stand at the street corner. “One hot dog, please!” I nearly rushed to the stand. “OK, ready soon!” The vendor (摊主) replied cheerfully. As he handed me the hot dog, he grinned, “You deserve the best hot dog in the world!” I guessed that was the slogan for his little business, for the words were painted in cheerful yellow letters on his cart. I couldn’t wait to take a bite. The warm bread, the chilli sauce and the juice in the sausage — it was the best thing in the world! Definitely at that time! “Five dollars, young lady,” the vendor said, wiping his hands on his apron. Hot dog in one hand, I reached for my wallet with the other. Just then, “Ouch!” a cry came from behind me. I turned back and found a woman in her 50’s struggling to pick herself up from the ground. Her grocery bag split open with oranges rolling in every direction. Seeing this, I stuffed the rest of the hot dog into my mouth, picked up the oranges and put them back into her bag. “Are you okay?” I asked with concern. “Thank you. I didn’t see the pole on the ground,” she breathed. Noticing her hand was wounded, I remembered the Band-Aid(创可贴)in my bag and dug it out. “Thank you so much for your kindness,” the woman said as I carefully applied it to her wound. Across the street, the bus I was about to take was pulling in. Waving a goodbye to the woman, I dashed to the bus stop and barely got aboard before the door closed. As the bus pulled away, I saw the woman bought a hot dog from the same vendor. On the way, I was always wondering if she would be greeted with the same words, “You deserve the best hot dog in the world!” I was lost in it... 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 But wait — had I forgotten something? ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Someone has paid for it,” the vendor smiled. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 平凉一中2024-2025学年第二学期期末考试试题 高二英语 1. 本试卷满分 150 分，考试时间为 120 分钟。 2. 答题前，考生须在答题卡上正确填涂姓名、考号等相关信息。 所有试题均在答题卡上各题对应区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 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。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。 例: How much is the shirt?

What kinds of benefits might result from taking part in outdoor education classes, even if it is just once a week for an hour and a half or so? In order to estimate the impact of joining an outdoor education program, five children between the ages of 5 and 8 from different families were selected to participate in a winter session (冬季训练课) and another group of 11 children between the ages of 5 and 11 were not and had not ever been in any nature-based classes. In addition to similarity in age, the participating families from either group had very similar incomes, education levels, and cultural backgrounds. The researchers observed the five children in the nature class and interviewed them at the end and they did the same to the 11 children in another group. The children were observed and asked questions to assess their independence, self—discipline, curiosity and adventure, motor skills, and appreciation of nature. For each question, researchers provided scores from 1 to 6. They then added scores from all the rated questions within each section to determine the total scores for all five categories. Comparisons were made between children who attended outdoor education classes and those who did not for each of the total scores. Results indicated that while total ratings did not differ for the independence, self- discipline, or motor skill categories, children who attended nature-based classes were reported to have significantly higher levels of curiosity and adventure and a significantly higher appreciation and connection to nature than the children who did not. A more detailed analysis of specific items that differed between the two groups found that the children in the outdoor education classes were reported to spend significantly more time playing outside on non-school days; they were more likely to pick up garbage if they saw it, to enjoy nature walks or hikes, to enjoy getting dirty from playing outside, to play with natural materials outside, and to show interest in nature when playing alone outside. 4. How does the author organize the second paragraph? A. By giving examples. B. By analyzing causes. C. By making comparisons. D. By following time order. 5. What quality can outdoor education classes help you develop best? A. Thirst for knowledge. B. Enthusiasm for nature. C. Sense of independence. D. Value of self-discipline 6. What can we know about the children in the outdoor education classes from the passage? A. They preferred studying even harder at home. B. They were likely to be better at playing basketball. C. Their parents are usually rich and highly educated. D. They enjoyed playing outside more and behaved better. 7. What is the best title of the passage? A. How we score the five categories from the rated questions. B. What the children were observed and asked questions to assess. C. The children between 5 and 8 benefit most from outdoor education. D. Regular outdoor education improves curiosity and connection to nature. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲是关于参加户外教育课程的好处的研究，研究表明参加自然课程可以让儿童有更高的好奇心和冒险精神，以及更高的对自然的欣赏和联系。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段的“In order to estimate the impact of joining an outdoor education program, five children between the ages of 5 and 8 from different families were selected to participate in a winter session (冬季训练课) and another group of 11 children between the ages of 5 and 11 were not and had not ever been in any nature-based classes.(为了评估参加户外教育项目的影响，来自不同家庭的5名5至8岁的儿童被选中参加冬季课程，另一组11名5至11岁的儿童没有也从未参加过任何以自然为基础的课程。)”和“Comparisons were made between children who attended outdoor education classes and those who did not for each of the total scores.(研究人员对参加户外教育课程的孩子和没有参加户外教育课程的孩子的各项总分进行了比较。)”可知，作者是通过比较来组织第二段的，故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“Results indicated that while total ratings did not differ for the independence, self- discipline, or motor skill categories, children who attended nature-based classes were reported to have significantly higher levels of curiosity and adventure and a significantly higher appreciation and connection to nature than the children who did not.(结果表明，虽然总体评分在独立性、自律或运动技能类别上没有差异，但据报道，参加自然课程的儿童比没有参加自然课程的儿童具有更高的好奇心和冒险精神，以及更高的对自然的欣赏和联系。)”可知，户外教育课程最能帮助你培养热爱自然的素质，故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段的“A more detailed analysis of specific items that differed between the two groups found that the children in the outdoor education classes were reported to spend significantly more time playing outside on non-school days; they were more likely to pick up garbage if they saw it, to enjoy nature walks or hikes, to enjoy getting dirty from playing outside, to play with natural materials outside, and to show interest in nature when playing alone outside.(对两组之间具体项目的差异进行更详细的分析发现，据报道，户外教育班的孩子在非上学日花在户外玩耍的时间要多得多；如果他们看到垃圾，他们更有可能捡起来，享受大自然的散步或远足，享受在外面玩耍时弄脏，在外面玩自然材料，在外面独自玩耍时表现出对自然的兴趣。)”可知，户外教育班的孩子们更喜欢在外面玩耍，表现得更好。故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是倒数第二段的“Results indicated that while total ratings did not differ for the independence, self- discipline, or motor skill categories, children who attended nature-based classes were reported to have significantly higher levels of curiosity and adventure and a significantly higher appreciation and connection to nature than the children who did not.(结果表明，虽然总体评分在独立性、自律或运动技能类别上没有差异，但据报道，参加自然课程的儿童比没有参加自然课程的儿童具有更高的好奇心和冒险精神，以及更高的对自然的欣赏和联系。)”可知，本文主要讲的是关于参加户外教育课程的好处的研究，研究表明参加自然课程可以让儿童有更高的好奇心和冒险精神，以及更高的对自然的欣赏和联系，因此最好的题目是D选项“Regular outdoor education improves curiosity and connection to nature.(定期的户外教育提高了好奇心和与自然的联系。)”，故选D。 C Livestreaming is a kind of e-commerce and marketing and sales method. It combines live product demonstrations, time-limited pricing promotions, live negotiations, and instant ordering through online streaming services hosted either by an influencer studio, or online store. Livestreaming removes barriers between brands and consumers. While it is focused on driving short term sales, livestreaming can enable firms to improve marketing efficiency by combining brand marketing and performance marketing. There are certain factors that will increase the chance of success. Brands should not use livestreaming as a short-term sales booster but as a long-term way to remove barriers between brands and consumers. Specifically, brands could better demonstrate their products in this way, tell fuller brand stories, introduce emotional and cultural elements to their products, obtain instant feedback, conduct product trials, improve marketing efficiency by combining brand marketing and performance marketing, use different livestream hosts to build a bridge for the consumers and cultivate brand loyalty. Of course, Livestreaming is not without drawbacks, however. For ads on TV, government has clear rules to forbid brands parading the before-and-after effects of health products. The restrictions are not clear yet for internet-based livestreaming, and health products are frequently promoted by livestreamers. We need to continue to monitor regulatory updates carefully. As promoting products through live-streaming has been compared to “tuning clicks into cash,” some people have made illegal profits by creating false prosperity. Through the purchase of fake followers to increase shares and comments, some live streamers can falsify their rate of engagement to cheat brands and companies in an effort to win more trust and make more money. Meanwhile, live-streams have also faced issues like the return, refund and exchange of products. 8. What does the author advise the brands to do with Livestreaming? A. To achieve as much sales as possible. B. To focus more on brand marketing. C. To remove barriers between brands and consumers. D. To build a bridge between consumers and government. 9. What does the underlined word “parading” probably mean? A. Overstating B. Comparing C. Displaying D. Describing 10. How do live streamers create false prosperity? A. By promoting the products as hard as possible. B. By creating fake comments and shares. C. By speaking highly of the brands and firms. D. By refusing the exchange and the refund of products. 11. What’s the author’s attitude towards Livestreaming? A. Supportive B. Neutral C. Critical D. Doubtful 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了直播带货这一种电子商务和营销销售方式，并且说明了其优缺点。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Brands should not use livestreaming as a short-term sales booster but as a long-term way to remove barriers between brands and consumers. (品牌不应将直播作为短期的销售助推器，而应将其作为消除品牌与消费者之间障碍的长期途径)”可知，作者建议各大品牌用直播来消除品牌和消费者之间的障碍。故选C。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段中“Of course, Livestreaming is not without drawbacks, however.(当然，直播也不是没有缺点)”再结合画线词上文“For ads on TV, government has clear rules to forbid brands”以及后文“the before-and-after effects of health products”可知，直播也存在缺点，所以对于电视广告，政府有明确规定，禁止品牌夸大健康产品的前后效果。故画线词意思是“夸大”。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Through the purchase of fake followers to increase shares and comments, some live streamers can falsify their rate of engagement to cheat brands and companies in an effort to win more trust and make more money.(通过购买虚假粉丝来增加分享和评论，一些直播者可以伪造自己的参与度，欺骗品牌和公司，以赢得更多信任，赚更多钱)”可知，直播主播通过创建虚假评论和分享制造虚假繁荣。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Livestreaming removes barriers between brands and consumers. While it is focused on driving short term sales, livestreaming can enable firms to improve marketing efficiency by combining brand marketing and performance marketing.(直播消除了品牌和消费者之间的障碍。虽然直播专注于推动短期销售，但它可以通过将品牌营销和绩效营销结合起来，使企业提高营销效率)”以及倒数第二段中“Of course, Livestreaming is not without drawbacks, however.(当然，直播也不是没有缺点)”可知，文章分别说明了直播带货的优点和缺点，没有提到作者对此的看法，故可推知，作者对直播的态度是中立的。故选B。 D Adults should prioritize book reading, which helps promote mental health, according to a global study conducted in 2023. Researchers surveyed 15,000 participants aged 25-60 across 25 countries, combining questionnaires with cognitive tests. The findings highlight alarming trends and solutions. In the past decade, weekly reading rates dropped sharply. Only 33% of adults read books weekly, compared to 51% in2013. Chinese adults demonstrated slightly higher engagement, with 38% reading printed books monthly — higher than the global average of 29%. However, 63% admitted to spending over 3.5 hours daily on short video or social media. European nations like Italy and Spain mirrored this pattern, where 68% cited “exhaustion from work” as the primary barrier. Regular readers demonstrated significant advantages. Those dedicating over 5 hours weekly to books scored 28% higher in memory and problem-solving assessments. Emotionally, 43% of frequent readers reported effective stress management techniques, versus 19% among non-readers. Brain scans showed that sustained reading strengthens neural pathways in the prefrontal cortex (大脑前额叶皮层), which governs decision-making. Dr. Helen Park, a neurologist from Yale, explains: “Deep reading acts as cognitive training, much like lifting weights for the mind.” Cultural divides appeared in content preferences. Asian readers prioritized educational materials — 58% chose history, science, or career-related books. In contrast, 61% of Western participants favored fiction for relaxation. Digital adoption also varied: e-books accounted for 70% of adult reading in the U. S. and U. K., while 76% of Asian readers preferred printed books. Researchers link this to cultural traditions; for instance, China’s book-friendly society concept emphasizes tactile (触觉的) and visual engagement with texts. The study proposes actionable strategies. Governments are urged to launch workplace reading initiatives — companies like Siemens and Huawei now offer 20-minute paid “reading breaks” daily, observing 15-20% productivity increases. Schools should inspire parental reading through community programs. “Reading isn’t a luxury — it’s a lifelong health investment,” insists Dr. Carlos Mendez, the study’s lead author. “Even 12 minutes daily builds mental resilience (恢复力) across lifetimes.” 12. What method did researchers use to study reading’s impact on the brain? A. Interviews with educators. B. Analysis of book sales data. C. Social media usage tracking. D. Brain scans and cognitive tests. 13. Why might Chinese readers prefer printed books? A. Limited access to e-books. B. Influence of traditional values. C. Lower costs of printed materials. D. Government restrictions on digital content. 14. How does Dr. Carlos Mendez view reading? A. Asa luxury for the wealthy. B. As a popular trend in society. C. As a way to restore mental power. D. As a substitute for physical exercise. 15. Which is the best title for the text? A. Reading Decline: Causes and Fixes B. Work Stress: The Main Barrier to Reading C. Digital Books vs. Paper Books:A Global Debate D. Short Videos: The Killer of Traditional Reading 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了2023年全球研究揭示的成年人阅读对心理健康的促进作用、全球阅读率下降趋势、文化阅读偏好差异及基于脑科学证据提出的阅读推广策略。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Regular readers demonstrated significant advantages. Those dedicating over 5 hours weekly to books scored 28% higher in memory and problem-solving assessments.(普通读者表现出显著的优势。那些每周花5个多小时看书的人在记忆力和解决问题的评估中得分高出28%)”和“Brain scans showed that sustained reading strengthens neural pathways in the prefrontal cortex (大脑前额叶皮层), which governs decision-making. Dr. Helen Park, a neurologist from Yale, explains: ‘Deep reading acts as cognitive training, much like lifting weights for the mind.’(脑部扫描显示，持续阅读可以加强控制决策的前额叶皮层的神经通路。耶鲁大学神经学家Helen Park博士解释说：‘深度阅读是一种认知训练，就像举重一样。’)”可知，研究者通过脑部扫描发现持续阅读能增强前额叶皮层的神经通路，并结合认知测试得出读者在记忆和问题解决能力上的优势。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段中的“Researchers link this to cultural traditions; for instance, China’s book-friendly society concept emphasizes tactile (触觉的) and visual engagement with texts.(研究人员将此与文化传统联系起来；例如，中国的图书友好型社会理念强调与文本的触觉和视觉接触)”可知，中国读者喜欢读纸质书可能受到传统的“书香社会”文化价值观影响。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后段中的“‘Reading isn’t a luxury — it’s a lifelong health investment,’ insists Dr. Carlos Mendez, the study’s lead author. ‘Even 12 minutes daily builds mental resilience (恢复力) across lifetimes.’(该研究的主要作者Carlos Mendez博士坚称，‘阅读不是一种奢侈，而是一项终身健康投资。即使每天12分钟，也能在一生中建立精神恢复力。’)”可知，文章末尾引用Dr. Carlos Mendez的观点，强调阅读是“终生的健康投资”，阅读是恢复精神力量的一种方式。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主体结构分为三部分：阅读率下降的现状（如全球每周阅读率从51%降至33%，短视频占用时间等）；下降的原因（如工作疲惫、数字媒体冲击）；解决方案（企业阅读休息、社区项目等）。选项A完整涵盖“原因”与“解决”，所以A项Reading Decline: Causes and Fixes(阅读趋势的下降：原因和补救措施)可以作为最佳标题。故选A。 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分, 满分 12.5 分） 根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中的两项为多余选项。 What will you do if you can’t eat everything bought in the canteen? ___16___ According to a survey, what students waste every year could feed over 10 million people. ___17___ According to Xinhua News Agency, the food wasted by Chinese people is about 50 million tons of grain every year, which could feed 200 million people. Food waste, which has become a global issue, serves as a mirror that reflects various cultural and social issues in different countries. In the West, for instance, consumerism, the belief that it’s good to use a lot of goods and services, is often to blame for food waste. ___18___ Chinese people are well known for being hospitable and generous. Many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten all the food. On campus, a generation of single children is less aware of the food waste issue. Students nowadays are well protected by their families and hardly have any concept of how much toil others go through in order to provide them with the food they eat. ___19___ There are 925 million hungry people in the world. They don’t have enough food to eat. And farmers work very hard to grow the crops. ___20___ It’s also important that everyone thinks about how they can do their bit to reduce food waste. Recently a campaign against food waste launched on line in China might make you think twice about being so wasteful. A. Students waste is extremely serious, B. To reduce food waste is a big task, and it needs time. C. China, in turn, features its own eating culture. D. But canteen waste is merely the tip of the iceberg. E. So we shouldn’t waste our food. F.

She ____25____ the umbrella over the creature, her silver-lined hair darkening in the rain. “Go to Mr. Chen’s store,” she ____26____. “Ask for a box and a towel.” I dashed, heavy rain splashing up my jeans. When I returned, Mom was singing ____27____ — a song she’d sung to me as a child. The kitten blinked up at her, its ____28____ mews softening. For 20 minutes, we waited together in the downpour until animal rescue ____29____. Mom’s hands, wrinkled and steady, gently lifted the kitten into the box they carry. The walk home was silent.

It just needs a heart that ____32____.” That night, I dug out an old umbrella from the closet — bright yellow, with daisy patterns. “For next time,” I told her, avoiding her ____33____ gaze. Suddenly Mom realized and smiled, and I finally understood: her “oddness” wasn’t a weakness, but a language of love written in small, stubborn ____34____. Now, when it rains, I walk slower.

Then I smelt something delicious—the hot dog stand at the street corner. “One hot dog, please!” I nearly rushed to the stand. “OK, ready soon!” The vendor (摊主) replied cheerfully. As he handed me the hot dog, he grinned, “You deserve the best hot dog in the world!” I guessed that was the slogan for his little business, for the words were painted in cheerful yellow letters on his cart. I couldn’t wait to take a bite. The warm bread, the chilli sauce and the juice in the sausage — it was the best thing in the world! Definitely at that time! “Five dollars, young lady,” the vendor said, wiping his hands on his apron. Hot dog in one hand, I reached for my wallet with the other. Just then, “Ouch!” a cry came from behind me. I turned back and found a woman in her 50’s struggling to pick herself up from the ground. Her grocery bag split open with oranges rolling in every direction. Seeing this, I stuffed the rest of the hot dog into my mouth, picked up the oranges and put them back into her bag. “Are you okay?” I asked with concern. “Thank you. I didn’t see the pole on the ground,” she breathed. Noticing her hand was wounded, I remembered the Band-Aid(创可贴)in my bag and dug it out. “Thank you so much for your kindness,” the woman said as I carefully applied it to her wound. Across the street, the bus I was about to take was pulling in. Waving a goodbye to the woman, I dashed to the bus stop and barely got aboard before the door closed. As the bus pulled away, I saw the woman bought a hot dog from the same vendor. On the way, I was always wondering if she would be greeted with the same words, “You deserve the best hot dog in the world!” I was lost in it... 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 But wait — had I forgotten something? ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Someone has paid for it,” the vendor smiled. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 But wait — had I forgotten something? My heart suddenly sank as I realized I hadn’t paid the vendor! Frantically checking my wallet, I confirmed the five dollars were still there. The scene flashed back: I had dropped the wallet while helping the woman. The bus was already moving, and I could do nothing but watch the hot dog stand shrink in the distance, guilt overwhelming me. “Someone has paid for it,” the vendor smiled. Puzzled, I followed his gaze to the woman I had helped earlier. She waved at me warmly from the street corner. The vendor explained, “She insisted on paying for you, saying kindness deserves kindness.” Tears welled up as I understood — her hot dog purchase wasn’t just for herself. The vendor’s cheerful slogan now carried profound meaning, weaving our small acts of goodwill into something truly “the best in the world.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了作者在图书馆学习一下午后，去街头热狗摊买热狗，在准备付钱时，帮助了一位摔倒的女士，结果忘记付钱就匆忙赶公交车离开。之后发现之前帮助的女士帮自己付了钱，从而体会到善良传递的温暖故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“等等——我是不是忘了什么？”可知，第一段可描写作者突然惊觉自己忘记支付热狗钱，慌乱检查钱包确认钱还在，回忆起掉钱包的原因是帮助女士时不慎掉落，此时公交车已开动，作者只能满怀愧疚地看着热狗摊远去。 ②由第二段首句内容““有人付过钱了，”小贩笑着说。”可知，第二段可描写摊主告知作者有人已帮忙付款，作者疑惑地顺着摊主的目光看到之前帮助过的女士，摊主解释女士坚持为作者付款，认为善良应得到回报，作者深受感动，也对摊主 “你值得拥有世界上最好的热狗” 这句口号有了更深的感悟。 2.续写线索：意识到忘付热狗钱→回忆掉钱包经过→无奈随公交车离开心怀愧疚→摊主告知有人代付→发现代付者是被帮助的女士→摊主解释代付原因→作者体会到善良的传递和口号的深层含义 3.词汇激活 行为类 行为类： ① 意识到：realize /become aware of ② 帮助：help/assist ③ 解释：explain /illustrate ④坚持：insist on/stick to 情绪类： ①温暖地：warmly /enthusiastically ② 快乐的：cheerful /joyful 【点睛】【高分句型 1】My heart suddenly sank as I realized I hadn’t paid the vendor!（运用了 as 引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型 2】Tears welled up as I understood — her hot dog purchase wasn’t just for herself.（运用了 as 引导的时间状语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
