D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。短文是一篇关于斯坦菲尔德剧院（Stanfield Theatre）的购票信息介绍，包括购票方式、各种折扣优惠政策以及相关注意事项。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据“In person”部分“The Box Office is open from Monday to Saturday, 10 a.m.—8 p.m.(票房的开放时间是周一至周六的上午10点到晚上8点)”可知，票房的开放时间是周一至周六的上午10点到晚上8点。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Schools”部分“School parties of ten or more can book tickets in advance for £6 each and will get every tenth ticket free(10人或以上的学校团体可以提前预订门票，每张6英镑，并且每10张票免1张)”可知，10人或以上的学校团体可以提前预订门票，每张6英镑，并且每10张票免1张。对于20人的学校团体，20张票中每10张免1张，即免2张票，只需支付18张票的钱。那么总共需要支付的金额为：18×6 = 108英镑。故选A项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Standby”部分“Best available seats are on sale at a five percent discount, from one hour before the performance for people qualified for Saver and Supersaver discounts and thirty minutes before for all other customers(最佳可用座位以九五折出售，符合“优惠票”和“超级优惠票”折扣条件的人可在演出前1小时购买，其他所有客户可在演出前30分钟购买)”以及“Saver”部分“Savers are available for children under 16 years old, over 60s and students(16岁以下儿童、60岁以上老人和学生可享受优惠票)”可知，学生属于享受“Saver”折扣的人群，他们可以在演出前1小时购买“Standby”票，45分钟在1小时之内，所以学生可以在演出前45分钟购买“Standby”票，故选D项。 B Soon after Mr. & Mrs. Bacchus started farming their little patch of land, they faced a major problem — a plague of birds fed on their precious crops. Then, a man stopped on the road outside their house, and asked the couple if he could take photographs of the birds on the property. Afterwards, he suggested that instead of trying to get rid of the birds, they should instead learn to live alongside them, and Maraksacha Reserve was born. Today, the couple credit this man, the celebrated bird photographer Manu Espinosa, with changing their lives, and helping them persuade others of the vital importance of conservation in this region. Birding tourism is flourishing in Ecuador, with increasing numbers of specialist tour groups. Ecuador contains a variety of ecosystems at differing elevations, which helps explain why it’s among the top 10 countries in the world for bird diversity. The country is home to over 1,600 bird species — nearly double the number found in all of Europe — within an area just slightly larger than the UK. As the business of birding grows, more and more farmers are switching their land from agriculture to bird reserves, benefiting not just the birds, but the country’s economy too. One notable example is the Ajila family, who have devoted themselves to preserving the long-wattled umbrellabird. On his land near Recinto, landowner Luis Ajila has switched from dairy farming to conservation, replanting trees and promoting the site to wildlife tourists — work that he says is a better livelihood than farming. “Wildlife tourism is much more profitable than farming, but that wasn’t our only motivation,” says Luis Jr., Ajila’s son. “We aimed to protect not just the umbrellabird, but all the unique wildlife here, safeguarding them for future generations.” Since 2005, Angel Paz has transformed his former dairy farm into a bird reserve. At first, things didn’t go to plan: it took a month for the first visitor to arrive, and he paid just $10 for a four-hour tour. Since then, however, thousands of people have made the pilgrimage. “I have protected my home and its birdlife for almost two decades, and finally watched the wildlife — and the people who visit — flourish,” Angel Paz says. 4. What advice did the photographer give to the couple? A. Photographing the birds. B. Coexisting with the birds. C. Protecting their precious crops. D. Taking care of their property. 5. What is paragraph 3 of the text mainly about? A. How Ecuador is geographically unique. B. What distinguishes Ecuador’s biodiversity. C. What makes Ecuador a birding destination. D. How birding tourism is operated in Ecuador. 6. What have the Ajila family achieved? A. Helping other farmers shake off poverty. B. Combining profitability with sustainability. C. Applying new technology in modern farming. D. Changing the landscapes of their residential areas. 7. What can we learn from Ángel Paz’s story? A. Well begun is half done. B. It takes time to bear fruit. C. The early bird catches the worm. D. The secret to success is adaptability. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. B 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文主要介绍了一对爱鸟夫妇和摄影师Manu Espinosa在厄瓜多尔创办了保护区，发展观鸟旅游业，同时带动其他农户将农田转变为观鸟地，这既促进了当地的旅游业有保护了环境。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。由第一段中“Afterwards, he suggested that instead of trying to get rid of the birds, they should instead learn to live alongside them, and Maraksacha Reserve was born. (后来，他（摄影师）建议，与其试图赶走这些鸟，不如学会和它们一起生活，于是马拉克萨查保护区就诞生了)”可知，摄影师建议这对夫妇与鸟类共存。故选B项。 【5题详解】 主旨大意题。由第三段“Birding tourism is flourishing in Ecuador, with increasing numbers of specialist tour groups. Ecuador contains a variety of ecosystems at differing elevations, which helps explain why it’s among the top 10 countries in the world for bird diversity. The country is home to over 1,600 bird species — nearly double the number found in all of Europe — within an area just slightly larger than the UK. (观鸟旅游在厄瓜多尔蓬勃发展，专业旅游团越来越多。厄瓜多尔拥有不同海拔的各种生态系统，这有助于解释为什么它是世界上鸟类多样性排名前十的国家之一。该国拥有1600多种鸟类，几乎是整个欧洲鸟类的两倍，其面积略大于英国)”可知，第三段指出厄瓜多尔因多样的生态系统和高海拔差异，成为全球鸟类多样性前十的国家，并吸引观鸟旅游，C项“是什么让厄瓜多尔成为观鸟目的地”概括了厄瓜多尔成为观鸟目的地的核心原因。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。由第四段中“On his land near Recinto, landowner Luis Ajila has switched from dairy farming to conservation, replanting trees and promoting the site to wildlife tourists — work that he says is a better livelihood than farming. (在累西托附近的土地上，土地所有者路易斯·阿吉拉（Luis Ajila）已经从奶牛养殖转向了保护，重新种植了树木，并向野生动物游客推广了该地——他说这项工作比农业更能维持生计)”和第五段中Luis Jr., Ajila’s son说的话“Wildlife tourism is much more profitable than farming, but that wasn’t our only motivation (野生动物旅游比农业更有利，但这不是我们唯一的动机)”“We aimed to protect not just the umbrellabird, but all the unique wildlife here, safeguarding them for future generations. (我们的目标不仅是保护雨伞鸟，还要保护这里所有独特的野生动物，为子孙后代保护它们)”可知，Ajila家族将农场转为保护区，既保护伞鸟（长须伞鸟）又通过生态旅游获利，Ajila的儿子明确提到“旅游比农业更盈利，但保护动机同样重要”，体现经济与生态可持续性的结合。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。由最后一段中“At first, things didn’t go to plan: it took a month for the first visitor to arrive, and he paid just $10 for a four-hour tour. Since then, however, thousands of people have made the pilgrimage. “I have protected my home and its birdlife for almost two decades, and finally watched the wildlife — and the people who visit — flourish,” Angel Paz says. (起初，事情并没有按计划进行：第一位游客花了一个月的时间才到达，他只花了10美元就完成了四个小时的旅行。然而，从那以后，成千上万的人进行了朝圣。Angel Paz说：“近二十年来，我一直在保护我的家和它的鸟类，终于看到了野生动物和游客的蓬勃发展。”)”可知，Angel Paz的保护区初期游客稀少且收入微薄，但经过长期坚持（近20年），最终游客增多，生态与旅游业共同繁荣，B项“需要时间才能见效”准确反映了这一过程，强调耐心与坚持的重要性。故选B项。 C Finland was known as a rather quiet country. Since 2008, the Country Brand Delegation (国家品牌代表团) has been looking for a national brand that would make some noise to market the country as a world-famous tourist destination. In 2010, the Delegation issued a “Country Brand Report,” which highlighted a host of marketable themes, including Finland’s famous educational system. One key theme was brand new: silence. As the report explained, modern society often seems intolerably loud and busy. “Silence is a resource,” it said. Silence first appeared in scientific research as a control or baseline, against which scientists compare the effects of noise or music. Researchers have mainly studied it by accident, as physician Luciano Bernardi did in his study of the physiological (生理学) effects of music. “We didn’t think about the effect of silence,” he said. Bernardi observed two dozen test subjects while they listened to six musical tracks. He found that the impacts of music could be read directly in the bloodstream, via changes in blood pressure, carbon dioxide, and circulation in the brain. “During almost all sorts of music, there was a physiological change with a condition of arousal (兴奋),” he explained. This effect made sense, given that active listening requires attention. But the more striking finding appeared between musical tracks. Bernardi and his colleagues discovered that randomly added stretches of silence also had a great effect, but in the opposite direction. In fact, two-minute silent pauses proved far more relaxing than either “relaxing” music or a longer silence played before the experiment started. The blank pauses that Bernardi had considered irrelevant (不相关的), in other words, became the most interesting object of study. Silence seemed to be heightened by contrast, maybe because it gave test subjects a release from careful attention. “Perhaps the arousal is something that concentrates the mind in one direction, so that when there is nothing more arousing, then you have deeper relaxation,” he said. This finding is reinforced by neurological (神经系统的) research. Relevant research shows when our brains rest quietly, they integrate external and internal information into “a conscious (意识的) workspace.” Peace and quiet, both outside and inside us, seem to free our minds to naturally find our place in the world. Noora Vikman, a consultant on silence for Finland’s marketers, knows silence well. Living in a remote and quiet place in Finland, she discovers thoughts and feelings that aren’t detectable in her busy daily life. “If you want to know yourself, you have to be with yourself, and discuss with yourself, and be able to talk with yourself.” 8. Why does the author mention the Country Brand Report in Paragraph 1? A. To indicate the authority of the Delegation. B. To highlight the need of noise in Finland. C. To explain why Finland issued the brands. D. To present how Finland viewed silence. 9. What can be inferred about Luciano Bernardi’s discovery? A. It challenged the calming effect of music. B. It illustrated the loss of attentiveness after silence. C. It emphasized the role of silence between sounds. D. It stated brains’ information processing in the quiet. 10. What is Noora Vikman’s attitude to silence?. A. Supportive. B. Neutral. C. Disapproving. D. Indifferent. 11. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Silence: A Limited Resource B. Silence: An Invaluable Power C. Silence: A Misunderstood Tool D. Silence: An Insignificant Quality 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要以“安静的状态有着意想不到的力量”为话题，详细讲述了研究人员对其重要作用的研究和发现，且通过人们的真实感受强调了安静给人带来的出人意料的好处。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Finland was known as a rather quiet country.(芬兰作为一个相当安静国家而著名)”以及“In 2010, the Delegation issued a “Country Brand Report,” which highlighted a host of marketable themes, including Finland’s famous educational system. One key theme was brand new: silence. As the report explained, modem society often seems intolerably loud and busy. “Silence is a resource,” it said.(2010年，该代表团发布了一份“国家品牌报告”，其中列举了一系列具有市场价值的主题，其中包括芬兰著名的教育体系。其中有一个全新的主题：安静。正如报告所解释的那样，现代社会往往显得过于喧闹和繁忙。“安静是一种资源”，报告中说道)”可知，作者提及“国家品牌报告”是为了通过权威发布来展示芬兰如何看待安静。故选D。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Silence seemed to be heightened by contrast, maybe because it gave test subjects a release from careful attention. “Perhaps the arousal is something that concentrates the mind in one direction, so that when there is nothing more arousing, then you have deeper relaxation,” he said.(安静似乎因对比而显得更加突出，也许是因为它让测试对象得以暂时摆脱对细节的仔细关注。“也许这种兴奋能让人集中注意力朝一个方向发展，所以当不再有更强烈的刺激时，你就会进入更深层次的放松状态。”他说道)”可知，通过研究，他发现了安静作为声音间隔时对测试对象有很大的影响，与声音对比下的安静反而让人有更深的放松。由此可推知，他的发现强调了安静在声音之间的作用。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Noora Vikman, a consultant on silence for Finland’s marketers, knows silence well. Living in a remote and quiet place in Finland, she discovers thoughts and feelings that aren’t detectable in her busy daily life. “If you want to know yourself, you have to be with yourself, and discuss with yourself, and be able to talk with yourself.”(Noora Vikman是芬兰营销人员中的一位安静研究专家。她深谙安静之道。在芬兰一个偏远且宁静的地方生活，她发现了在忙碌的日常生活中难以察觉的内心想法和情感。“要想了解自己，你就得与自己相处，与自己交流，还要能够与自己对话。”)”可知，Noora Vikman通过住在一个偏僻安静的地方亲身感受到了安静独处才能认识自己，由此可推知，Noora Vikman对安静支持赞同的。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“As the report explained, modem society often seems intolerably loud and busy. “Silence is a resource,” it said.(正如报告所解释的那样，现代社会往往显得过于喧闹和繁忙。“安静是一种资源”，报告中说道)”结合文章主要围绕“安静是一种资源”这一话题进行讲述，并在后文段落通过介绍相关研究及真人实例的感受强调了安静的强大力量。B选项“安静：一种无价的力量”贴合主旨，最适合作为文章标题。故选B。 D Early or Later Day Care Many young parents are confused about whether their children should have early day care, and there have always been different views on this subject. The British psychoanalyst John Bowlby believes that separation from parents during the sensitive “attachment” period from birth to three may scar a child’s personality and lead to psychological problems in later life. Some people have drawn the conclusion from Bowlby’s work that children should not be subjected to day care before three because of the parental separation it causes, and many people do believe this. According to Bowlby, a great deal of psychological harm can occur when young children are separated from their parents. If they are left without touch for a while, they will have a higher stress level. Parents’ influence on their children’s well-being may never be greater than during the earliest years of life, when a child’s brain is developing rapidly and when nearly all of her or his experiences are shaped by parents and the family environment. However, there are critics. Some anthropologists (人类学家) point out that the love affair between children and parents found in modern societies does not usually exist in traditional societies. There has been a long history of the fact that father and mother did not bring up their children alone. Plato, around 394 B.C., argued that a system of early child care would free women to participate in society. Results from Israeli and Dutch studies show that child-raising duties are more evenly distributed among a broader group of people. Besides, studies have reported that early day care has a neutral or slightly positive effect on children’s development. They learn the benefits of being socially smart, understanding the concept of sharing and caring. They promote concentration skills, which is very important in their learning. There are games where children are taught basic language and mathematical skills through stories and everyday examples. Common sense tells us that early day care would not be so widespread if children had problems with it. But Bowlby’s analysis raises the possibility that it has delayed effects. The possibility that such care might lead to more mental illness 15 or 20 years later can only be explored by the use of statistics. Whatever the long-term effects, parents sometimes find the immediate effects difficult to deal with. Children under three dislike leaving their parents and show unhappiness. At the age of three almost all children find it easy to go to the nursery. The matter, then, is far from being clearly known, though experience and available evidence indicate that early day care is reasonable for young children. 12. The passage mainly argues whether ______. A. children over three will accept school education B. children under three should be sent to nursery schools C. the family relationship is different in traditional societies D. early day care should be totally replaced in modern societies 13. Which of the following supports Bowlby’s theory? A. Early day care wouldn’t be so popular if it had negative effects. B Separation from parents for young children is common in history. C. Parents find the immediate effects of early day care difficult to deal with. D. Studies show early day care has a positive effect on children’s development. 14. The author’s attitude towards early day care is that ______. A. children under three should stay with their parents B. it has potential benefits for both children and parents C. the bad effect of it on children will disappear as they grow up D. it is controversial and the settlement calls for the use of statistics 15. Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passage? I: Introduction P: Point Sp: Sub-point (次要点) C: Conclusion A. B. C. D. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇议论文，讨论了三岁之前的儿童是否应该被送去日间护理托儿所。文章分别介绍了支持与反对两种不同观点，并详细说明了具体的理由。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Many young parents are confused about whether their children should have early day care, and there have always been different views on this subject.”可知本文是一篇议论文，讨论了三岁的儿童是否应该被送去日间护理托儿所。文章分别介绍了支持与反对两种不同观点。故B项正确。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段第一句“The British psychoanalyst John Bowlby believes that separation from parents during the sensitive “attachment” period from birth to three may scar a child’s personality and lead to psychological problems in later life.”可知John Bowlby认为三岁之前孩子与父母分开会给孩子的个性带来影响，并对孩子以后的生活带来精神方面的问题。而性格和精神方面的问题是难以处理的。故C项正确。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段前两句“Common sense tells us that early day care would not be so widespread if children had problems with it. But Bowlby’s analysis raises the possibility that it has delayed effects.”可知作者认为三岁之前送孩子去托儿所的影响是存在争议的，很难说这种做法是正确的还是错误的。再根据第三句“The possibility that such care might lead to more mental illness 15 or 20 years later can only be explored by the use of statistics.”可知我们要根据具体的数据来分析这个问题。故D项正确。 【15题详解】 篇章结构题。本文是一篇议论文。第一段提出文章讨论的话题，也就是Introduction；第二三段解释英国精神分析专家John Bowlby反对三岁之前送孩子去托儿所的理由，也就是point1；第四五段是支持送孩子去托儿所的理由，也就是point2；四五段是两个次要点，也就是sp1和sp2；文章最后一段总结了最终的结论。所以B项与文章的结构相吻合。故B项正确。 【点睛】本文小题4考查了篇章结构题，此类题型对学生的整体框架能力要求较高；通常既涉及篇章架构，也会涉及写作手法。通常说来作者会根据不同文章的内容和写作目的，采取记叙、描写、议论、说明或应用文体。作者也会采用叙述、例证、比较对照等不同的组织结构。不同文体的阅读难度、要求和任务不同，阅读方法也应不同。增强对篇章结构的理解能力有助于提高阅读质量。 例题：（2008年全国高考—浙江卷C篇） In the course of working my way through school, I took many jobs I would rather forget. But none of these jobs was as dreadful as my job in an apple plant. The work was hard; the pay was poor; and, most of all, the working conditions were terrible. First of all, the job made huge demands on my strength… … I stayed on the job for five months, all the while hating the difficulty of the work, the poor money, and the conditions under which I worked. By the time I left, I was determined never to go back there again. 52. How is the text organized? A. Topic—Argument—Explanation B. Opinion—Discussion--Description C. Main idea—Comparison—Supporting examples D. Introduction—Supporting examples—Conclusion 答案与解析：选D。本题考查对语篇的结构理解。本文为记叙文的一般结构，本文叙述了作者上学时在一个苹果加工厂打工的经历。作者在第一段提出在苹果加工厂工作的辛苦，工资低和工作条件差（The work was hard; the pay was poor; and, most of all, the working conditions were terrible.），中间三段举例描述，最后一段得出“再也不愿意做”的结论（By the time I left, I was determined never to go back there again.）。 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。 First aid refers to the initial medical attention given immediately after an injury or an accident. ____16____ They think it’s a job exclusive to medical professionals. In fact, it’s a life skill we all should try to learn. According to The Guardian, over 150,000 people get critically injured or die yearly because of people’s lack of first aid knowledge. That’s a large number considering we live in the modern age. ____17____. We can reduce these life-threatening situations by learning the prompt care needed in such situations. Thus, more people must know what to do in case of accidents or medical emergencies. Whether we like it or not, accidents and emergencies happen at any time. ____18____. In the USA alone, over six million people are involved in traffic accidents each year. In fact, it’s the leading cause of death for people between the ages of 1 and 54. That said, no one can predict when or where disaster may strike. These accidents can happen at home, at work, or while in transit. That’s why basic first aid skills like CPR, disinfecting (消毒) wounds, and learning to stop bleeding can go a long way. ____19____ It’s vital to prevent injuries from worsening until full medical help arrives. For instance, when a person experiences cardiac arrest, they only have 3 to 4 minutes before the brain lacks oxygen. What you do in these minutes will impact the patient’s condition. Calling for an ambulance is, of course, your priority. ____20____ A. Developed countries witness a greater death rate B. But it might encounter traffic jams during rush hours C. The bad news is that not many people know the importance of first aid D. Heart attacks and choking endanger thousands of lives on a yearly basis E. The first few minutes is the most critical in the case of a medical emergency F. That’s why it’s a part of our reality that we must always prepare ourselves for G. However, if you can employ the basic first aid skills, it can relieve the damage 【答案】16. C 17. F 18. D 19. E 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章指出急救并非专属医疗人员，而是必备生活技能，因缺乏急救知识致大量伤亡，事故随时可能发生，掌握急救能减少危险、防止伤情恶化。 【16题详解】 根据空后“They think it’s a job exclusive to medical professionals. In fact, it’s a life skill we all should try to learn.(他们认为这是一项仅限于医疗专业人士才能掌握的工作。但实际上，这是一项我们所有人都应该努力学习的生活技能)”可知前面应该说很多人对急救的错误认知。C项“坏消息是没有多少人知道急救的重要性”符合语境，引出下文人们对急救的错误看法。故选C。 【17题详解】 根据空前“According to The Guardian, over 150,000 people get critically injured or die yearly because of people’s lack of first aid knowledge. That’s a large number considering we live in the modern age.(据《卫报》报道，每年有超过 15 万人因缺乏急救知识而严重受伤或死亡。考虑到我们身处现代社会，这个数字实在令人震惊)”以及空后“We can reduce these life-threatening situations by learning the prompt care needed in such situations.(我们可以通过学习此类情况下的及时护理方法来减少这些危及生命的状况)”可知，空格前提到每年超15万人因缺乏急救知识重伤或死亡，空格后强调通过学习急救可减少这些危及生命的情况。F项“正是因为如此，所以这便成为了我们生活的一部分，即我们必须时刻做好准备”符合语境，承接上文事故随时会发生，说明我们要做好准备。故选F。 【18题详解】 根据空前“Whether we like it or not, accidents and emergencies happen at any time.(不管我们喜不喜欢，事故和紧急情况随时都会发生)”可知，空格前提到事故和紧急情况随时可能发生，空格后以美国交通事故为例说明紧急情况的普遍性。选项D“每年，心脏病发作和窒息事件都会夺走数千人的生命”列举了其他常见紧急情况，与事故和紧急情况呼应，进一步说明紧急情况的多样性和普遍性。故选D。 【19题详解】 根据空后“It’s vital to prevent injuries from worsening until full medical help arrives.(在专业医疗人员赶到之前，务必防止伤情进一步恶化)”可知，本句强调急救最初时间的重要性。E项“在医疗紧急情况中，最初的几分钟是至关重要的”符合语境。故选E。 【20题详解】 根据空前“Calling for an ambulance is, of course, your priority. For instance, when a person experiences cardiac arrest, they only have 3 to 4 minutes before the brain lacks oxygen.  (当然，叫救护车是你的首要任务。例如，当一个人经历心脏骤停时，他们只有3到4分钟的时间，然后大脑就会缺氧)”可知，本句进一步说明除了叫救护车，会心肺复苏术也很重要。G项“但是，如果你能掌握基本的急救技能，就能减轻伤害”与前文形成转折，符合语境，故选G。 第二部分 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。 A woman who hated her body has shared an important message on Instagram about how exercise has greatly changed her.

Ray came from a wealthy family, while Toby’s family struggled to make ends meet. Despite their differences, the two were inseparable and shared a deep bond of friendship. They spent countless hours together, whether it was playing games after school, helping each other with homework, or simply sharing stories under the shade of the old banyan tree. On a sunny afternoon, Ray brought his precious stamp collection to school, eager to show Toby his latest treasure — a rare (稀有的) stamp gifted by his uncle. Toby, who had never seen such beautiful stamps before, stroked the stamps gently, his eyes wide with wonder. “Such an amazing collection! This rare stamp is incredible, Ray!” He exclaimed with admiration. After school, Ray packed the stamps back into his schoolbag and returned home, his heart light with the joy of sharing his passion with his best friend. However, the next morning, Ray’s joy turned to panic when he discovered that the rare stamp was missing. He tore through his room, searching every corner and every book, but the stamp was nowhere to be found. His heart sank as a troubling thought crowded his mind — Toby was the only one who had got up close and personal with the stamps. Could he have taken it? The next day at school, he confronted Toby with anger. “Did you take my stamp?” he asked directly, searching Toby’s face for any sign of guilt. Toby, shocked by his questioning, replied with mixed feelings, “No, Ray! I would never take anything that belongs to you. You’re my best friend!” But Ray, consumed by frustration and disappointment, couldn’t let go of his doubts. “You were the only one who saw it,” he said coldly. “If you hadn’t taken it, then where could it be?” Deeply hurt by Ray’s lack of trust, Toby turned away without another word, his heart heavy with the weight of the accusation (控诉). The days that followed were filled with an uncomfortable silence between the two friends. They avoided each other, the once-strong bond damaged by the loss of the stamp. 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。 One day as Ray left school, something dropped from his school uniform pocket. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Seeing Ray rushing to him, Toby was surprised. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 One day as Ray left school, something dropped from his school uniform pocket. Bending down quickly, he picked it up and his eyes widened. The rare stamp he had lost was right there! His face turned red as he realized the truth that he must have forgotten to put it back in his bag after showing it to Toby. Memories of their argument rushed into his mind, and guilt was full of his chest. He had hurt his best friend without cause. Determined to fix things, Ray ran toward the banyan tree where Toby often sat, the stamp clutched tightly in his hand. Seeing Ray rushing to him, Toby was surprised. “Toby, I’m so sorry!” Ray said, out of breath and holding out the stamp. “I found it in my pocket. I shouldn’t have accused you. You were right. You’d never take anything from me.” Toby stared at the stamp, then at Ray’s red eyes. A slow smile spread across his face. “It’s okay, Ray. Friends make mistakes, but we trust each other, right?” Ray nodded, and they walked back to the banyan tree, laughing as if the silence had never existed. Their bond, once broken, was now stronger than before. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了雷和托比是好朋友，家境不同却亲密无间。雷的稀有邮票丢失后，错怪了托比，两人关系陷入僵局。后来雷在自己口袋里找到邮票，才知是误会，他向托比道歉，两人重归于好，友谊比之前更深厚。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“一天，雷放学离开学校时，从他的校服口袋里掉出了一个东西”可知，第一段可描写雷找到了丢失的邮票，才知是误会了托比。 ②由第二段首句内容“看到雷冲向自己，托比感到很惊讶”可知，第二段可描写雷向托比道歉，两人重归于好，友谊比之前更深厚。 2.续写线索：邮票掉落——意识到误会了托比——感到内疚——向托比道歉——得到原谅——友谊加深 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①决定：determine/resolve ②意识到：realize/be aware of ③看着：stare at/look at 情绪类 ①内疚：guilt/compunction ②坚固：strong/solid 【点睛】[高分句型1] Bending down quickly, he picked it up and his eyes widened.（运用了现在分词作状语） [高分句型2] His face turned red as he realized the truth that he must have forgotten to put it back in his bag after showing it to Toby.（运用了that引导同位语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 青岛二中2024—2025学年第二学期期末考试 高一英语试题 听力部分 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。 1.

B Soon after Mr. & Mrs. Bacchus started farming their little patch of land, they faced a major problem — a plague of birds fed on their precious crops. Then, a man stopped on the road outside their house, and asked the couple if he could take photographs of the birds on the property. Afterwards, he suggested that instead of trying to get rid of the birds, they should instead learn to live alongside them, and Maraksacha Reserve was born. Today, the couple credit this man, the celebrated bird photographer Manu Espinosa, with changing their lives, and helping them persuade others of the vital importance of conservation in this region. Birding tourism is flourishing in Ecuador, with increasing numbers of specialist tour groups. Ecuador contains a variety of ecosystems at differing elevations, which helps explain why it’s among the top 10 countries in the world for bird diversity. The country is home to over 1,600 bird species — nearly double the number found in all of Europe — within an area just slightly larger than the UK. As the business of birding grows, more and more farmers are switching their land from agriculture to bird reserves, benefiting not just the birds, but the country’s economy too. One notable example is the Ajila family, who have devoted themselves to preserving the long-wattled umbrellabird. On his land near Recinto, landowner Luis Ajila has switched from dairy farming to conservation, replanting trees and promoting the site to wildlife tourists — work that he says is a better livelihood than farming. “Wildlife tourism is much more profitable than farming, but that wasn’t our only motivation,” says Luis Jr., Ajila’s son. “We aimed to protect not just the umbrellabird, but all the unique wildlife here, safeguarding them for future generations.” Since 2005, Angel Paz has transformed his former dairy farm into a bird reserve. At first, things didn’t go to plan: it took a month for the first visitor to arrive, and he paid just $10 for a four-hour tour. Since then, however, thousands of people have made the pilgrimage. “I have protected my home and its birdlife for almost two decades, and finally watched the wildlife — and the people who visit — flourish,” Angel Paz says. 4. What advice did the photographer give to the couple? A. Photographing the birds. B. Coexisting with the birds. C. Protecting their precious crops. D. Taking care of their property. 5. What is paragraph 3 of the text mainly about? A. How Ecuador is geographically unique. B. What distinguishes Ecuador’s biodiversity. C. What makes Ecuador a birding destination. D.

Since 2008, the Country Brand Delegation (国家品牌代表团) has been looking for a national brand that would make some noise to market the country as a world-famous tourist destination. In 2010, the Delegation issued a “Country Brand Report,” which highlighted a host of marketable themes, including Finland’s famous educational system. One key theme was brand new: silence. As the report explained, modern society often seems intolerably loud and busy. “Silence is a resource,” it said. Silence first appeared in scientific research as a control or baseline, against which scientists compare the effects of noise or music. Researchers have mainly studied it by accident, as physician Luciano Bernardi did in his study of the physiological (生理学) effects of music. “We didn’t think about the effect of silence,” he said. Bernardi observed two dozen test subjects while they listened to six musical tracks. He found that the impacts of music could be read directly in the bloodstream, via changes in blood pressure, carbon dioxide, and circulation in the brain. “During almost all sorts of music, there was a physiological change with a condition of arousal (兴奋),” he explained. This effect made sense, given that active listening requires attention. But the more striking finding appeared between musical tracks. Bernardi and his colleagues discovered that randomly added stretches of silence also had a great effect, but in the opposite direction. In fact, two-minute silent pauses proved far more relaxing than either “relaxing” music or a longer silence played before the experiment started. The blank pauses that Bernardi had considered irrelevant (不相关的), in other words, became the most interesting object of study. Silence seemed to be heightened by contrast, maybe because it gave test subjects a release from careful attention. “Perhaps the arousal is something that concentrates the mind in one direction, so that when there is nothing more arousing, then you have deeper relaxation,” he said. This finding is reinforced by neurological (神经系统的) research. Relevant research shows when our brains rest quietly, they integrate external and internal information into “a conscious (意识的) workspace.” Peace and quiet, both outside and inside us, seem to free our minds to naturally find our place in the world. Noora Vikman, a consultant on silence for Finland’s marketers, knows silence well. Living in a remote and quiet place in Finland, she discovers thoughts and feelings that aren’t detectable in her busy daily life. “If you want to know yourself, you have to be with yourself, and discuss with yourself, and be able to talk with yourself.” 8. Why does the author mention the Country Brand Report in Paragraph 1? A. To indicate the authority of the Delegation. B. To highlight the need of noise in Finland. C. To explain why Finland issued the brands. D. To present how Finland viewed silence. 9. What can be inferred about Luciano Bernardi’s discovery? A. It challenged the calming effect of music. B. It illustrated the loss of attentiveness after silence. C. It emphasized the role of silence between sounds. D. It stated brains’ information processing in the quiet. 10. What is Noora Vikman’s attitude to silence?. A. Supportive. B. Neutral. C. Disapproving. D. Indifferent. 11. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Silence: A Limited Resource B. Silence: An Invaluable Power C. Silence: A Misunderstood Tool D. Silence: An Insignificant Quality D Early or Later Day Care Many young parents are confused about whether their children should have early day care, and there have always been different views on this subject. The British psychoanalyst John Bowlby believes that separation from parents during the sensitive “attachment” period from birth to three may scar a child’s personality and lead to psychological problems in later life. Some people have drawn the conclusion from Bowlby’s work that children should not be subjected to day care before three because of the parental separation it causes, and many people do believe this. According to Bowlby, a great deal of psychological harm can occur when young children are separated from their parents. If they are left without touch for a while, they will have a higher stress level. Parents’ influence on their children’s well-being may never be greater than during the earliest years of life, when a child’s brain is developing rapidly and when nearly all of her or his experiences are shaped by parents and the family environment. However, there are critics. Some anthropologists (人类学家) point out that the love affair between children and parents found in modern societies does not usually exist in traditional societies. There has been a long history of the fact that father and mother did not bring up their children alone. Plato, around 394 B.C., argued that a system of early child care would free women to participate in society. Results from Israeli and Dutch studies show that child-raising duties are more evenly distributed among a broader group of people. Besides, studies have reported that early day care has a neutral or slightly positive effect on children’s development. They learn the benefits of being socially smart, understanding the concept of sharing and caring. They promote concentration skills, which is very important in their learning. There are games where children are taught basic language and mathematical skills through stories and everyday examples. Common sense tells us that early day care would not be so widespread if children had problems with it. But Bowlby’s analysis raises the possibility that it has delayed effects. The possibility that such care might lead to more mental illness 15 or 20 years later can only be explored by the use of statistics. Whatever the long-term effects, parents sometimes find the immediate effects difficult to deal with. Children under three dislike leaving their parents and show unhappiness. At the age of three almost all children find it easy to go to the nursery. The matter, then, is far from being clearly known, though experience and available evidence indicate that early day care is reasonable for young children. 12. The passage mainly argues whether ______. A. children over three will accept school education B. children under three should be sent to nursery schools C. the family relationship is different in traditional societies D early day care should be totally replaced in modern societies 13. Which of the following supports Bowlby’s theory? A. Early day care wouldn’t be so popular if it had negative effects. B. Separation from parents for young children is common in history. C. Parents find the immediate effects of early day care difficult to deal with. D. Studies show early day care has a positive effect on children’s development. 14. The author’s attitude towards early day care is that ______. A. children under three should stay with their parents B. it has potential benefits for both children and parents C. the bad effect of it on children will disappear as they grow up D. it is controversial and the settlement calls for the use of statistics 15. Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passage? I: Introduction P: Point Sp: Sub-point (次要点) C: Conclusion A. B. C. D. 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。 First aid refers to the initial medical attention given immediately after an injury or an accident. ____16____ They think it’s a job exclusive to medical professionals. In fact, it’s a life skill we all should try to learn. According to The Guardian, over 150,000 people get critically injured or die yearly because of people’s lack of first aid knowledge. That’s a large number considering we live in the modern age. ____17____. We can reduce these life-threatening situations by learning the prompt care needed in such situations. Thus, more people must know what to do in case of accidents or medical emergencies. Whether we like it or not, accidents and emergencies happen at any time. ____18____. In the USA alone, over six million people are involved in traffic accidents each year. In fact, it’s the leading cause of death for people between the ages of 1 and 54. That said, no one can predict when or where disaster may strike. These accidents can happen at home, at work, or while in transit. That’s why basic first aid skills like CPR, disinfecting (消毒) wounds, and learning to stop bleeding can go a long way. ____19____ It’s vital to prevent injuries from worsening until full medical help arrives. For instance, when a person experiences cardiac arrest, they only have 3 to 4 minutes before the brain lacks oxygen. What you do in these minutes will impact the patient’s condition. Calling for an ambulance is, of course, your priority. ____20____ A. Developed countries witness a greater death rate B. But it might encounter traffic jams during rush hours C. The bad news is that not many people know the importance of first aid D. Heart attacks and choking endanger thousands of lives on a yearly basis E. The first few minutes is the most critical in the case of a medical emergency F. That’s why it’s a part of our reality that we must always prepare ourselves for G. However, if you can employ the basic first aid skills, it can relieve the damage 第二部分 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。 A woman who hated her body has shared an important message on Instagram about how exercise has greatly changed her.

Ray came from a wealthy family, while Toby’s family struggled to make ends meet. Despite their differences, the two were inseparable and shared a deep bond of friendship. They spent countless hours together, whether it was playing games after school, helping each other with homework, or simply sharing stories under the shade of the old banyan tree. On a sunny afternoon, Ray brought his precious stamp collection to school, eager to show Toby his latest treasure — a rare (稀有的) stamp gifted by his uncle. Toby, who had never seen such beautiful stamps before, stroked the stamps gently, his eyes wide with wonder. “Such an amazing collection! This rare stamp is incredible, Ray!” He exclaimed with admiration. After school, Ray packed the stamps back into his schoolbag and returned home, his heart light with the joy of sharing his passion with his best friend. However, the next morning, Ray’s joy turned to panic when he discovered that the rare stamp was missing. He tore through his room, searching every corner and every book, but the stamp was nowhere to be found. His heart sank as a troubling thought crowded his mind — Toby was the only one who had got up close and personal with the stamps. Could he have taken it? The next day at school, he confronted Toby with anger. “Did you take my stamp?” he asked directly, searching Toby’s face for any sign of guilt. Toby, shocked by his questioning, replied with mixed feelings, “No, Ray! I would never take anything that belongs to you. You’re my best friend!” But Ray consumed by frustration and disappointment, couldn’t let go of his doubts. “You were the only one who saw it,” he said coldly. “If you hadn’t taken it, then where could it be?” Deeply hurt by Ray’s lack of trust, Toby turned away without another word, his heart heavy with the weight of the accusation (控诉). The days that followed were filled with an uncomfortable silence between the two friends. They avoided each other, the once-strong bond damaged by the loss of the stamp. 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。 One day as Ray left school, something dropped from his school uniform pocket. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Seeing Ray rushing to him, Toby was surprised. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
