Find your dream ones and enjoy them. (度过暑假的一种有益且放松的方式是挑选一些适合青少年的畅销书。找到你心仪的书籍并享受阅读的乐趣吧。)”可知，文章介绍的四本书都是面向青少年的。故选B项。 B When I came back from Quanzhou in the evening, my younger brother kept making a fuss. My mother sighed and said that she had come across a video before, in which several post-2010s children were interviewed and asked about their views on post-1980s mothers. These children unanimously said that post-1980s mothers were too nagging and feudal. My mother felt that these children were really unreasonable, just like ungrateful wretches. In my opinion, this is just a video set up by capital. First, they interview some post-2010s children, then select those whose views fit the image of unfilial children, edit them into a video, and post it online to gain traffic. Doing this can not only help the marketing accounts get traffic, but also provide a platform for these parents to vent their indignation. It’s simply killing two birds with one stone, and both sides are willing. Those poor post-2010s children are not only ruthlessly slandered, but also sentenced to “death” by these marketing accounts, being stereotyped from ignorant kids into unforgivable problem teenagers. The selected children may have just casually made a childish complaint, such as “Mom always doesn’t let me play with my phone” or “She always nags me about being picky with food”, but these words are edited into “accusing their mothers of being feudal”. Outside the camera, they might hug their mothers to act coquettishly and share interesting things at school in the next second. However, in the narrative of marketing accounts, these real children are simplified into “unreasonable ungrateful wretches”, while post-1980s mothers are portrayed as “wronged victims”. These two identities are forced into an opposing framework, stimulating the family emotions that are most likely to resonate. Marketing accounts know very well that what they want is not the truth, but the “sense of being offended” that can make parents in front of the screen instantly identify with.​ 4. What does the author think about how the views of post-2010s children in the video are formed? A. They are guided by professional interview teams​ B. They are created by capital through selection and editing​ C. They truly reflect their opinions on their mothers ​ D. They are drawn after long-term thinking by the children​ 5. What is the main purpose of marketing accounts in posting such videos?​ A. To promote communication and understanding between parents and children​ B. To help parents understand their children’s true thoughts​ C. To educate children to be grateful to their parents​ D. To gain traffic and provide a platform for parents to vent​ 6. What kind of real performance of the children is mentioned in the article?​ A. Always being dissatisfied and critical of their mothers​ B. Interacting intimately with their mothers off-camera​ C. Long-term thinking that their mothers are feudal​ D. Deliberately speaking ill of their mothers in front of the camera​ 7. Into what kind of framework do marketing accounts force post-2010s children and post-1980s mothers?​ A. A framework of harmonious coexistence​ B. A framework of mutual understanding​ C. An opposing framework​ D. A framework of equal communication​ 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要批判资本通过剪辑视频制造亲子对立以获取流量的现象。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“First, they interview some post-2010s children, then select those whose views fit the image of unfilial children, edit them into a video, and post it online to gain traffic.(首先，他们采访一些10后的孩子，然后挑选出那些观点符合“不孝子女”形象的言论，将它们编辑成视频，发布到网上以获取流量)”可知，作者认为视频中10后孩子的观点是资本通过挑选和编辑创造出来的。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Doing this can not only help the marketing accounts get traffic, but also provide a platform for these parents to vent their indignation.(这样做不仅可以帮助营销账号获得流量，还可以为这些家长提供一个发泄不满的平台)”可知，营销账号发布此类视频的主要目的是获取流量并为家长提供发泄平台。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Outside the camera, they might hug their mothers to act coquettishly and share interesting things at school in the next second.(在镜头外，他们可能会立刻撒娇地抱住妈妈，分享学校里有趣的事情)”可知，文章提到孩子们在镜头外的真实表现是与母亲亲密互动。故选B。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“However, in the narrative of marketing accounts, these real children are simplified into “unreasonable ungrateful wretches”, while post-1980s mothers are portrayed as “wronged victims”. These two identities are forced into an opposing framework, stimulating the family emotions that are most likely to resonate.(然而，在营销账号的叙事中，这些真实的孩子被简化为“无理取闹的不孝子”，而80后母亲则被描绘成“受委屈的受害者”。这两种身份被强行塞进了一个对立的框架中，激发了最容易引起共鸣的家庭情感)”可知，营销账号将10后孩子和80后母亲强行塞进了一个对立的框架中。故选C。 C When Alexander Fleming returned to his lab in 1928, he found a bacteria culture he had grown was infected by fungus (霉菌). The fungus killed any bacteria colonies it touched. Rather than simply starting over, Fleming switched his focus to the fungus. He identified the bacteria-killing substance, which he called “penicillin”, and created the new field of antibiotics (抗生素). That’s how most people see innovation: A flash of brilliance and Eureka, a new world is born in an instant. The truth, however, is not that simple. It wasn’t until 1943 that penicillin came into widespread use. To put Fleming’s discovery in context, consider Ignaz Semmelweis, who pioneered hand washing in maternity wards (产房), significantly reducing childbed fever but receiving criticism instead of fame. That was because in the 1850s, his ideas conflicted with the popular theory, which suggested that disease resulted from “bad airs”. After his death in 1865, germ (病菌) theory was finally accepted, paving the way for Fleming’s later work. Fleming was a gifted biologist but a poor communicator. When he published his results in 1929, few took notice. In 1935, Howard Florey and Ernst Chain discovered Fleming’s paper, understood its importance, and developed methods to produce penicillin in quantity. By 1943, with World War Ⅱ going on fiercely, the War Production Board asked 21 companies to mass-produce penicillin, saving countless lives and ushering in the new age of antibiotics. Fleming, Florey and Chain received the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1945. Penicillin owes much of its success to government support. For many other groundbreaking innovations like the Internet and GPS, their innovators, while carving their own path, are often uncertain of where the opportunity lies until they team up with other informed officials and big firms that might have the resources to turn their ideas into reality quickly. So, look at any significant innovation and the myth of the lone genius, and the “eureka moment” breaks down. 8. What are the first two paragraphs mainly about? A. An account of a lab story. B. Redefinition of a traditional view. C. Correction of a popular misconception. D. An analysis of a scientific phenomenon. 9. What is the message conveyed in paragraph 3? A. Great minds think alike. B. The early bird catches the worm. C. Luck’s got your back when it comes to success. D. Early work is a stepping stone to later breakthroughs. 10. What does the underlined part “ushering in” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Introducing. B. Predicting. C. Delaying. D. Transforming. 11. Which of the following can be the best title? A. Great Innovations: Individuals Are True Heroes B. From Failure to Success: The Story of Penicillin C. The Lone Genius: Fleming’s Discovery of Penicillin D. The Long Road to Penicillin: How Innovation Happens 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了青霉素从发现到广泛应用经历了漫长的过程，弗莱明发现了青霉素，但后来经过弗洛里和钱恩的努力以及政府支持才得以大规模生产和应用，说明创新不是一蹴而就的，不是单个天才的灵光一闪，而是一个漫长的过程。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Rather than simply starting over, Fleming switched his focus to the fungus. He identified the bacteria-killing substance, which he called “penicillin”, and created the new field of antibiotics (抗生素). ( 弗莱明并没有简单地从头开始，而是把注意力转向了真菌。他发现了杀死细菌的物质，他称之为“青霉素”，并开创了抗生素的新领域。)”以及第二段“That’s how most people see innovation: A flash of brilliance and Eureka, a new world is born in an instant. The truth, however, is not that simple. It wasn’t until 1943 that penicillin came into widespread use.( 这就是大多数人对创新的看法：灵光一闪，一个新的世界就在一瞬间诞生了。然而，事实并非如此简单。直到1943年，盘尼西林才被广泛使用。)”可知，前两段主要讲的是对一种流行的错误观念的纠正。故选C项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“To put Fleming’s discovery in context, consider Ignaz Semmelweis, who pioneered hand washing in maternity wards (产房), significantly reducing childbed fever but receiving criticism instead of fame. That was because in the 1850s, his ideas conflicted with the popular theory, which suggested that disease resulted from “bad airs”. After his death in 1865, germ (病菌) theory was finally accepted, paving the way for Fleming’s later work.( 为了把弗莱明的发现放在背景中，想想伊格纳兹·塞梅尔韦斯（Ignaz Semmelweis），他是产科病房洗手的先驱，大大减少了产褥热，但却受到了批评，而不是名声。这是因为在19世纪50年代，他的观点与流行的理论相冲突，后者认为疾病是由“恶劣的空气”造成的。1865年他去世后，细菌理论终于被接受，为弗莱明后来的工作铺平了道路。)”可知，塞梅尔韦斯在产房倡导洗手，显著降低了产褥热，但却受到批评，因为当时流行“坏空气致病”的理论，在他死后病菌理论才被接受，为弗莱明后来的工作铺平了道路，这说明早期的工作是后来突破的垫脚石。故选D项。 【10题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线单词句中“the War Production Board asked 21 companies to mass-produce penicillin, saving countless lives(战争生产委员会要求 21 家公司大规模生产青霉素，挽救了无数生命)”以及“the new age of antibiotics (抗生素的新时代)”可知，大规模生产青霉素挽救了无数生命，从而引入了抗生素的新时代，由此可猜测，“ushering in”意思是“引入，开启”，与A选项“Introducing(引见，首次引入)”意思相近。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章讲述了青霉素从发现到广泛应用经历了漫长的过程，弗莱明发现了青霉素，但后来经过弗洛里和钱恩的努力以及政府支持才得以大规模生产和应用，说明创新不是一蹴而就的，不是单个天才的灵光一闪，而是一个漫长的过程，D选项 “The Long Road to Penicillin: How Innovation Happens(通往青霉素的漫长道路：创新是如何发生的)”符合文章主旨，适合作为文章的标题。故选D项。 D With busy lives, it can be hard to find time to volunteer. However, the benefits of volunteering can be great. Volunteering offers vital help to people in need, worthwhile causes, and the community, but the benefits can be even greater for you, the volunteer. While it’s true that the more you volunteer, the more benefits you’ll experience. Volunteering doesn’t have to involve a long-term commitment or take a huge amount of time out of your busy day. Giving in even simple ways can help those in need and improve your health and happiness. The right match can help you to connect with the community, learn new skills, find new friends, and even advance your career. One of the well-known benefits of volunteering is the impact on the community. Volunteering allows you to connect to your community and make it a better place. Even helping out with the smallest tasks can make a real difference to the lives of people, animals, and organizations in need. And volunteering is a two-way street: It can benefit you and your family as much as the cause you choose to help. Dedicating your time as a volunteer helps you make new friends, expand your network, and boost your social skills. Volunteering also increases your social and relationship skills. While some people are naturally outgoing, others are shy and have a hard time meeting new people. Volunteering gives you the opportunity to practice and develop your social skills, since you are meeting regularly with a group of people with common interests. Once you have momentum, it’s easier to branch out and make more friends and contacts. Furthermore, one of the best ways to make new friends and strengthen existing relationships is to commit to a shared activity together. Volunteering is a great way to meet new people, especially if you are new to an area. It strengthens your ties to the community and broadens your support network, exposing you to people with common interests, neighborhood resources, and fun and fulfilling activities. 12. What does the author mean by saying “volunteering is a two-way street”? A. It needs your time and practice. B. It needs both courage and devotion. C. It benefits both givers and takers. D. It has both strengths and weaknesses. 13. What does the underlined word “momentum” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Determination. B. Motivation. C. Information. D. Experience. 14. What might the author continue talking about? A. Why volunteering is a must to your community. B. How volunteering is helpful for you to make friends. C. Why volunteering is beneficial to your mind and body. D. How volunteering is crucial for your future occupation. 15. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Advantages of Volunteer Activities B. Volunteering and Your Friendship C. Puzzles in Doing Volunteer Activities D. Ways to Find People with Common Interests 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要阐述了志愿服务带来的多方面益处。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第二段中“And volunteering is a two-way street: It can benefit you and your family as much as the cause you choose to help.(志愿服务是一条双向的道路：它既能让你和你的家人受益，也能让你选择帮助的事业受益)”可知，作者说“志愿服务是一条双向的道路”意思是志愿服务既能让给予者受益，也能让接受者受益。 故选C 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。 根据第三段中“Volunteering also increases your social and relationship skills. While some people are naturally outgoing, others are shy and have a hard time meeting new people. Volunteering gives you the opportunity to practice and develop your social skills, since you are meeting regularly with a group of people with common interests. Once you have momentum, it’s easier to branch out and make more friends and contacts.(志愿服务还能提高你的社交和人际关系技巧。虽然有些人天生外向，但有些人很害羞，很难结识新朋友。志愿服务给了你一个练习和发展社交技能的机会，因为你会定期与一群有共同兴趣的人见面。一旦你有了momentum，就更容易扩展人脉，结交更多的朋友和联系人)”可知，志愿服务能提高社交技能，定期与有共同兴趣的人见面，有了这种动力之后，就更容易扩展人脉，结交朋友，由此可知，momentum意为“动力，积极性”。和B项“Motivation(动力)” 意义相近。故选B。 14题详解】 推理判断题。 根据第一段的“The right match can help you to connect with the community, learn new skills, find new friends, and even advance your career.(合适的匹配可以帮助你与社区建立联系，学习新技能，找到新朋友，甚至推进你的职业生涯)”以及全文可知，本文主要介绍了志愿服务对于社区建立联系，学习新技能，找到新朋友的好处；由此可推知，作者接下来可能会继续讨论志愿服务在职业发展中的重要性，呼应第一段的“even advance your career”。 故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。 根据第一段中“However, the benefits of volunteering can be great. Volunteering offers vital help to people in need, worthwhile causes, and the community, but the benefits can be even greater for you, the volunteer.(然而，志愿服务的好处可能是巨大的。志愿服务为有需要的人、有价值的事业和社区提供了至关重要的帮助，但对你——志愿者来说，好处可能更大)”以及结合文章可知，本文主要介绍了志愿服务的好处，包括对社区的影响、增加社交和关系技巧以及结交新朋友和加强现有关系等。可知，A选项“志愿者活动的好处”最符合文章标题。 故选A。 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Adaptations are currently popular in the movie industry. We’re all familiar with film adaptations of books. ____16____ Book adaptations of films aren’t that common, but it’s a medium that certainly takes skills to master. The most well-known version of a film being adapted to books is via the novelisation (小说化). Movie novelisations went through a boom period before the internet era. Fans wanted to know more about the fictional worlds and experience the story again in a new way. ____17____ Thus, the novelisation was a great solution. Meanwhile, the screen to page process has also opened up the possibility of sequels (续篇). Perhaps there simply wasn’t financial investment to create a follow-up to a film. Maybe a sequel idea simply felt more appropriate for a novel. ____18____ In recent years for example, the film Heat, released in 1995 has received its own novel. ET: The Book of the Green Planet continued the extra-terrestrial’s journey after the completion of the film’s narrative. But what are the benefits of reading a novel instead of waiting for the big screen version? Well, a novel can take its reader deeper into the mind of the characters that the film had to represent in a more visual way. ____19____ Although a film might characterize a fantastic scene or a specific costume choice, it doesn’t always tell why those things are important. Novelisations and sequels can take that extra step and shine a light on some of those movie-making choices. Book adaptations of films obviously won’t ever replace cinema, and there’s no need to choose one or the other. ____20____ A. But what about book adaptations of films? B. Besides, descriptions can be more detailed too. C. For a time, they were everything for cinema lovers. D. Films being adapted to books has been talked repeatedly. E. But they couldn’t simply google it, or immediately purchase the production on tape. F. Regardless, some terrific films have been expanded upon thanks to this medium. G. Actually, these two mediums are considerably interdependent and complementary. 【答案】16. A 17. E 18. F 19. B 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了改编自电影的小说。 【16题详解】 根据上句“We’re all familiar with film adaptations of books. (我们都熟悉改编自书籍的电影)”以及后句“Book adaptations of films aren’t that common, but it’s a medium that certainly takes skills to master.(改编自电影的书籍并不常见，但这是一种需要技巧才能掌握的媒介)”可知，设空处承上启下，与下句所描述的改编自电影的书籍形成呼应关系，A项：But what about book adaptations of films?(但是改编自电影的书籍呢？)符合语境。故选A。 【17题详解】 根据上句“Fans wanted to know more about the fictional worlds and experience the story again in a new way.(粉丝们想要更多地了解虚构的世界，并以一种新的方式再次体验故事)”以及后句“Thus, the novelisation was a great solution.(因此，小说化是一个很好的解决方案)”可知，设空处应具体给出小说化的原因，E项：But they couldn’t simply google it, or immediately purchase the production on tape. (但他们不能简单地购买它，或者立即购买录像带)承接上句，且和后句形成因果关系，符合语境。故选E。 【18题详解】 根据后句“In recent years for example, the film Heat, released in 1995 has received its own novel. ET: The Book of the Green Planet continued the extra-terrestrial’s journey after the completion of the film’s narrative.(例如，近年来，1995年上映的电影《盗火线》就有了自己的小说。《外星人：绿色星球之书》在影片叙事结束后继续了外星人的旅程)可知，设空处与后句所描述的具体例子形成呼应关系，F项：Regardless, some terrific films have been expanded upon thanks to this medium.(不管怎样，多亏了这种媒介，一些很棒的电影得以扩展)承上启下，符合语境。故选F。 【19题详解】 根据上句“Well, a novel can take its reader deeper into the mind of the characters that the film had to represent in a more visual way.(小说可以让读者更深入地了解电影必须以更直观的方式表现的角色的思想)”可知，设空处承接上句，说明小说的优点，B项：Besides, descriptions can be more detailed too. (此外，描述也可以更详细)承接上文，符合语境。故选B。 【20题详解】 根据上句“Book adaptations of films obviously won’t ever replace cinema, and there’s no need to choose one or the other. (显然，改编自电影的书籍永远不会取代电影，也没有必要选择其中之一)”可知，设空处承接上句，说明两者之间的关系。G项：Actually, these two mediums are considerably interdependent and complementary. (实际上，这两种媒介是相互依存和互补的)承接上文，符合语境。故选G。 第三部分语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Last summer, I participated in a community service program that completely changed my worldview.

Receiving an award on such a day was a great honor for any scout, and all desired to be the scout selected to give the summary of the year’s activities for the association. I was not the one selected to give the summary and for that, I was grateful. I could hardly stand in front of a large crowd to make a speech, but Sean could. He was selected to do the honor because he was the President of the Boy Scouts for schools. My job was much simpler. Being the Vice-President, I was very much behind the scenes, content to ensure that everything was in smooth running order. It was an hour to go before the ceremony began, and I had put the finishing touches to the stage. Walking down the stage, I saw my teammates in a state of panic. When they saw me, they ran to me to tell me that Sean met with a traffic accident and would not make it to the award ceremony. Someone else had to give the summary. All of them looked hopefully at me, and I could feel my knees beginning to collapse. All their arguments against my unwillingness were valid. I had a copy of the speech as well as the benefit of having seen Sean rehearse (排练) it. I was the Vice-President and therefore should take his place. Finally, I was firmly told not to decline any longer and they said that they were convinced that I would do the right thing. I sank down onto the floor, totally shocked by the situation. I knew I was not a confident speaker, and the thought of presenting a summary in front of so many distinguished guests horrified me. To think that the fame of the scouts would take a beating because of me! The burden of responsibility troubled me greatly. 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。 But there was really no way out of the situation. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As I stood on the stage, my heart beat violently. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: But there was really no way out of the situation. In the end, I quickly rehearsed the speech and got ready to go on stage for the presentation. I looked calm and collected but inside, I was a trembling mass of jelly. Although they kept encouraging me, I still felt very worried that my poor performance would cost us the opportunity to win an award. Not long after, I was called to do the presentation. Having butterflies in my stomach, I walked onto the stage. As I stood on the stage, my heart beat violently. My face turned pale, and my mind went blank. I could not remember what I was supposed to say. I was at a loss what to do when I saw my teammates smiling at me with trustful looks. It was then that I realized that I should try my best for our team. Instantly, I reorganized my thoughts, and proceeded to speak into the microphone. When I was finished, all my teammates stood up and applauded loudly. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者作为一个内向，害怕在公开场合讲话的人，由于偶然的机会，不得不在公开场合演讲。描述了作者心理活动的变化及最终在队友的鼓励下成功地完成了演讲。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“但是这种情况下，也没有其他办法了。”可知，第一段可描写作者同意公开演讲及内心的胆怯。 ②由第二段首句内容“当我站在舞台上，我的心跳的很厉害”可知，第二段可描写作者的心理活动及克服心理压力成功完成了演讲。 2.续写线索：同意演讲——害怕紧张——受到鼓励——完成演讲——获得称赞 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.鼓励：encourage/inspire/hearten ②.记得：remember/memorize ③完成：finish/fulfill/complete 情绪类 ①.担忧的：feel worried/ feel concerned ②.茫然：be at a loss/be all at sea 【点睛】[高分句型1] I could not remember what I was supposed to say.（运用了what引导的宾语从句作 remember的宾语。） [高分句型2] It was then that I realized that I should try my best for our team.（运用了it was...that强调句型及that引导的宾语从句。） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025学年永和中学第二学期高二年级期末考试 英语试题 考生注意: 1.答题前,考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号填写在试卷和答题卡上,并将考生号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 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标号涂黑。如需改动,用橡皮擦干净后,再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时,将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后,将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的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．When will the speakers probably arrive at the stadium?

B When I came back from Quanzhou in the evening, my younger brother kept making a fuss. My mother sighed and said that she had come across a video before, in which several post-2010s children were interviewed and asked about their views on post-1980s mothers. These children unanimously said that post-1980s mothers were too nagging and feudal. My mother felt that these children were really unreasonable, just like ungrateful wretches. In my opinion, this is just a video set up by capital. First, they interview some post-2010s children, then select those whose views fit the image of unfilial children, edit them into a video, and post it online to gain traffic. Doing this can not only help the marketing accounts get traffic, but also provide a platform for these parents to vent their indignation. It’s simply killing two birds with one stone, and both sides are willing. Those poor post-2010s children are not only ruthlessly slandered, but also sentenced to “death” by these marketing accounts, being stereotyped from ignorant kids into unforgivable problem teenagers. The selected children may have just casually made a childish complaint, such as “Mom always doesn’t let me play with my phone” or “She always nags me about being picky with food”, but these words are edited into “accusing their mothers of being feudal”. Outside the camera, they might hug their mothers to act coquettishly and share interesting things at school in the next second. However, in the narrative of marketing accounts, these real children are simplified into “unreasonable ungrateful wretches”, while post-1980s mothers are portrayed as “wronged victims”. These two identities are forced into an opposing framework, stimulating the family emotions that are most likely to resonate. Marketing accounts know very well that what they want is not the truth, but the “sense of being offended” that can make parents in front of the screen instantly identify with.​ 4. What does the author think about how the views of post-2010s children in the video are formed? A. They are guided by professional interview teams​ B. They are created by capital through selection and editing​ C. They truly reflect their opinions on their mothers ​ D. They are drawn after long-term thinking by the children​ 5. What is the main purpose of marketing accounts in posting such videos?​ A. To promote communication and understanding between parents and children​ B. To help parents understand their children’s true thoughts​ C. To educate children to be grateful to their parents​ D. To gain traffic and provide a platform for parents to vent​ 6. What kind of real performance of the children is mentioned in the article?​ A. Always being dissatisfied and critical of their mothers​ B Interacting intimately with their mothers off-camera​ C. Long-term thinking that their mothers are feudal​ D. Deliberately speaking ill of their mothers in front of the camera​ 7. Into what kind of framework do marketing accounts force post-2010s children and post-1980s mothers?​ A. A framework of harmonious coexistence​ B. A framework of mutual understanding​ C. An opposing framework​ D. A framework of equal communication​ C When Alexander Fleming returned to his lab in 1928, he found a bacteria culture he had grown was infected by fungus (霉菌). The fungus killed any bacteria colonies it touched. Rather than simply starting over, Fleming switched his focus to the fungus. He identified the bacteria-killing substance, which he called “penicillin”, and created the new field of antibiotics (抗生素). That’s how most people see innovation: A flash of brilliance and Eureka, a new world is born in an instant. The truth, however, is not that simple. It wasn’t until 1943 that penicillin came into widespread use. To put Fleming’s discovery in context, consider Ignaz Semmelweis, who pioneered hand washing in maternity wards (产房), significantly reducing childbed fever but receiving criticism instead of fame. That was because in the 1850s, his ideas conflicted with the popular theory, which suggested that disease resulted from “bad airs”. After his death in 1865, germ (病菌) theory was finally accepted, paving the way for Fleming’s later work. Fleming was a gifted biologist but a poor communicator. When he published his results in 1929, few took notice. In 1935, Howard Florey and Ernst Chain discovered Fleming’s paper, understood its importance, and developed methods to produce penicillin in quantity. By 1943, with World War Ⅱ going on fiercely, the War Production Board asked 21 companies to mass-produce penicillin, saving countless lives and ushering in the new age of antibiotics. Fleming, Florey and Chain received the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1945. Penicillin owes much of its success to government support. For many other groundbreaking innovations like the Internet and GPS, their innovators, while carving their own path, are often uncertain of where the opportunity lies until they team up with other informed officials and big firms that might have the resources to turn their ideas into reality quickly. So, look at any significant innovation and the myth of the lone genius, and the “eureka moment” breaks down. 8. What are the first two paragraphs mainly about? A. An account of a lab story. B. Redefinition of a traditional view. C. Correction of a popular misconception. D. An analysis of a scientific phenomenon. 9. What is the message conveyed in paragraph 3? A. Great minds think alike. B.

Great Innovations: Individuals Are True Heroes B. From Failure to Success: The Story of Penicillin C. The Lone Genius: Fleming’s Discovery of Penicillin D. The Long Road to Penicillin: How Innovation Happens D With busy lives, it can be hard to find time to volunteer. However, the benefits of volunteering can be great. Volunteering offers vital help to people in need, worthwhile causes, and the community, but the benefits can be even greater for you, the volunteer. While it’s true that the more you volunteer, the more benefits you’ll experience. Volunteering doesn’t have to involve a long-term commitment or take a huge amount of time out of your busy day. Giving in even simple ways can help those in need and improve your health and happiness. The right match can help you to connect with the community, learn new skills, find new friends, and even advance your career. One of the well-known benefits of volunteering is the impact on the community. Volunteering allows you to connect to your community and make it a better place. Even helping out with the smallest tasks can make a real difference to the lives of people, animals, and organizations in need. And volunteering is a two-way street: It can benefit you and your family as much as the cause you choose to help. Dedicating your time as a volunteer helps you make new friends, expand your network, and boost your social skills. Volunteering also increases your social and relationship skills. While some people are naturally outgoing, others are shy and have a hard time meeting new people. Volunteering gives you the opportunity to practice and develop your social skills, since you are meeting regularly with a group of people with common interests. Once you have momentum, it’s easier to branch out and make more friends and contacts. Furthermore, one of the best ways to make new friends and strengthen existing relationships is to commit to a shared activity together. Volunteering is a great way to meet new people, especially if you are new to an area. It strengthens your ties to the community and broadens your support network, exposing you to people with common interests, neighborhood resources, and fun and fulfilling activities. 12.

We’re all familiar with film adaptations of books. ____16____ Book adaptations of films aren’t that common, but it’s a medium that certainly takes skills to master. The most well-known version of a film being adapted to books is via the novelisation (小说化). Movie novelisations went through a boom period before the internet era. Fans wanted to know more about the fictional worlds and experience the story again in a new way. ____17____ Thus, the novelisation was a great solution. Meanwhile, the screen to page process has also opened up the possibility of sequels (续篇). Perhaps there simply wasn’t financial investment to create a follow-up to a film. Maybe a sequel idea simply felt more appropriate for a novel. ____18____ In recent years for example, the film Heat, released in 1995 has received its own novel. ET: The Book of the Green Planet continued the extra-terrestrial’s journey after the completion of the film’s narrative. But what are the benefits of reading a novel instead of waiting for the big screen version? Well, a novel can take its reader deeper into the mind of the characters that the film had to represent in a more visual way. ____19____ Although a film might characterize a fantastic scene or a specific costume choice, it doesn’t always tell why those things are important. Novelisations and sequels can take that extra step and shine a light on some of those movie-making choices. Book adaptations of films obviously won’t ever replace cinema, and there’s no need to choose one or the other. ____20____ A. But what about book adaptations of films? B. Besides, descriptions can be more detailed too. C. For a time, they were everything for cinema lovers. D. Films being adapted to books has been talked repeatedly. E. But they couldn’t simply google it, or immediately purchase the production on tape. F. Regardless, some terrific films have been expanded upon thanks to this medium. G. Actually, these two mediums are considerably interdependent and complementary. 第三部分语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Last summer, I participated in a community service program that completely changed my worldview.

Receiving an award on such a day was a great honor for any scout, and all desired to be the scout selected to give the summary of the year’s activities for the association. I was not the one selected to give the summary and for that, I was grateful. I could hardly stand in front of a large crowd to make a speech, but Sean could. He was selected to do the honor because he was the President of the Boy Scouts for schools. My job was much simpler. Being the Vice-President, I was very much behind the scenes, content to ensure that everything was in smooth running order. It was an hour to go before the ceremony began, and I had put the finishing touches to the stage. Walking down the stage, I saw my teammates in a state of panic. When they saw me, they ran to me to tell me that Sean met with a traffic accident and would not make it to the award ceremony. Someone else had to give the summary. All of them looked hopefully at me, and I could feel my knees beginning to collapse. All their arguments against my unwillingness were valid. I had a copy of the speech as well as the benefit of having seen Sean rehearse (排练) it. I was the Vice-President and therefore should take his place. Finally, I was firmly told not to decline any longer and they said that they were convinced that I would do the right thing. I sank down onto the floor, totally shocked by the situation. I knew I was not a confident speaker, and the thought of presenting a summary in front of so many distinguished guests horrified me. To think that the fame of the scouts would take a beating because of me! The burden of responsibility troubled me greatly. 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。 But there was really no way out of the situation. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As I stood on the stage, my heart beat violently. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
