There had been a huge mudslide (泥石流) in the country’s southeast, then a mysterious oil spill along the northeastern coast, and finally fires in the Amazon rainforest. That was when Kauã Rodolfo, 11, decided it was time to help. The way he sees it, the planet is in big trouble — and it’s up to kids to solve it. So he started planting trees in the southern Brazilian city of Curitiba, one after another. “It’s important to save the planet,” Kauã said, “and it’s important to protect trees, because they make us better.” Kauã is an ambassador (大使) of an organization called Plant-for-the-Planet. Created in 2007 by a 9-year-old German named Felix Finkbeiner, it is an international awareness campaign led by children that began with a great goal: plant 1 million trees. But soon, what began as the one tree Felix planted at his school turned into several thousands, then several hundreds of thousands, then, within a few years, 1 million. But the campaign — and the goal — didn’t stop there. It has sprung up in many countries across the world. Last autumn, it reached Kauã’s classroom. He immediately fell in love with the idea of planting trees and raising awareness about the environment, so he signed up for a one-day training course to become an ambassador of Plant-for-the­Planet. What’s happening in the environment is unpredictable. It’s a scary time to be a kid. But Kauã doesn’t think it has to be. The planet will find a way if people can learn to work together, he said. It is an idea he is trying to instill (逐渐灌输) by giving regular environmental speeches and planting trees. “I’m not scared of the future of the planet, because I’m going to help the planet,” he said. “I’m going to do this. I’m going to go forward with this project. You don’t have to be scared.” He’s already planted seven trees. And he’s excited to plant more. “I don’t know why I love nature, but if I stopped planting trees, I would be sad,” he said. 4. Why does the author mention the natural disasters in paragraph 1? A. To give some background to Kauã’s action. B To introduce the problems Kauã’s family is facing. C. To stress the importance of protecting the planet. D. To show the effects of human activities on the planet. 5. What can be learned about Plant-for-the-Planet? A. It was based in Brazil. B. It was founded by Kauã. C. It has a history of 20 years. D. It has achieved its original goal. 6. What is the purpose of Kauã’s speeches? A. To inspire people to take a training course. B. To attract people to Plant-for-the-Planet. C. To instill the idea of working hard into children. D. To encourage people to protect the environment together. 7. Which of the following can best describe Kauã? A. Helpful and patient. B. Positive and creative. C. Responsible and determined. D. Smart and brave. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要说明了巴西接连遭遇自然灾害后，11岁的Kauã加入“为地球植树”组织，通过植树和演讲呼吁人们合作保护地球。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“One natural disaster after another had got Brazil into trouble. There had been a huge mudslide (泥石流) in the country’s southeast, then a mysterious oil spill along the northeastern coast, and finally fires in the Amazon rainforest.(接连不断的自然灾害让巴西陷入了困境。先是该国东南部发生了严重的泥石流，接着东北部沿海地区出现了神秘的石油泄漏事件，最后亚马逊雨林又发生了火灾)”以及第二段“That was when Kauã Rodolfo, 11, decided it was time to help.(就在那时，11岁的Kauã Rodolfo决定要行动起来帮忙了)”可知，作者在第一段中提及自然灾害是为了以此为背景来解释Kauã的行为。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Created in 2007 by a 9-year-old German named Felix Finkbeiner, it is an international awareness campaign led by children that began with a great goal: plant 1 million trees. But soon, what began as the one tree Felix planted at his school turned into several thousands, then several hundreds of thousands, then, within a few years, 1 million.(这项活动于2007年由一位名叫菲利克斯·芬克贝林的9岁德国少年发起，它是一项由儿童主导的国际性宣传活动，最初的目标是种植100万棵树。但很快，菲利克斯在学校种下的那棵树逐渐发展成了数千棵、数百万棵，再后来，在短短几年内就达到了100万棵)”可知，“为地球植树”项目已经实现了最初的目标。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第四段“The planet will find a way if people can learn to work together, he said. It is an idea he is trying to instill (逐渐灌输) by giving regular environmental speeches and planting trees.(他说，只要人们能够学会相互协作，地球终将找到解决之道。他正通过定期发表环保演讲以及植树活动来努力传播这一理念)”可知，Kauã的演讲旨在鼓励大家共同保护环境。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“One natural disaster after another had got Brazil into trouble. There had been a huge mudslide (泥石流) in the country’s southeast, then a mysterious oil spill along the northeastern coast, and finally fires in the Amazon rainforest.(接连不断的自然灾害让巴西陷入了困境。先是该国东南部发生了严重的泥石流，接着东北部沿海地区出现了神秘的石油泄漏事件，最后亚马逊雨林又发生了火灾)”；第二段“That was when Kauã Rodolfo, 11, decided it was time to help.(就在那时，11岁的Kauã Rodolfo决定要行动起来帮忙了)”以及倒数第三段““I’m not scared of the future of the planet, because I’m going to help the planet,” he said. “I’m going to do this. I’m going to go forward with this project. You don’t have to be scared.”(“我对地球的未来并不感到担忧，因为我打算为地球做些事情，”他说道。“我会去做的。我会推进这个项目。你们不必感到害怕。”)”可知，Kauã因看到自然灾害而主动植树、宣传环保，体现“有责任感（responsible）”；他坚持行动且表示“不会害怕，会继续推进项目”，体现“有决心（determined）”，故选C。 C Most highly skilled fields have rude names for beginners. And yet there has never been a better time to be a beginner. Learning platforms such as Coursera, Skillshare and Duolingo sell you an experience that you can fit around your busy life, achieving mastery in a short time. In this book Beginners Tom Vanderbilt joins the growing army of beginners. Stuck in mid-career growth, he decides to spend a year learning new skills. He hires a singing teacher and joins the Britpop Choir. He takes up drawing, then surfing. He learns to juggle (玩杂耍). With the help of a jeweler, he even makes his own wedding ring. None of these attempts turn into life-changing passions. They are simply done for fun. The motivation behind all this comes from Vanderbilt’s experience of parenthood, which can only be learned in the doing of it. All parents are beginners, and beginner teachers, clumsily (笨拙地) passing on knowledge to their children. As he watches his daughter effortlessly pick up how to swim or play chess, Vanderbilt worries that he has left it too late. “It’s hard to be old and bad at something,” as a friend, returning to swimming in middle age, puts it. Luckily, he achieves satisfying results with relatively little painful effort. People appreciate his inexpert but improved singing because most people can’t sing very well. The title of one academic paper he cites — “Imprecise singing is widespread” — says it all. The acid (讽刺的) test is “Happy Birthday”, the most familiar song in the language and yet not easy to sing because it spans (跨越) an octave (八度音阶) and moves up and down it dramatically. In a world where apps constantly rate us and measure our performance, so that learning anything becomes another form of work, we should enjoy the process more and worry less about the product. All Vanderbilt achieves in the end is a basic skill in various unrelated activities. But it has brought him “an enormous and almost forgotten kind of pleasure”. This book conveys that pleasure and is itself a pleasure to read. 8. What motivates Vanderbilt’s passion for learning new skills? A. His friend’s swimming comeback. B. His experience of being a parent. C. His daughter’s advice on trying new things. D. His hope for changing the views of beginners. 9. Why does the author mention the song “Happy Birthday”? A. To indicate the importance of repetition in singing. B. To draw attention to its popularity around the world. C. To prove its effectiveness in testing musical memory. D. To show the difficulty in singing even well-known songs well. 10. What does the author stress in the last paragraph? A. The need to master various unrelated skills. B. The pleasure obtained from reading a book. C. The importance of enjoying the learning process. D. The significance of gaining recognition for one’s efforts. 11. What is the text? A. A news report. B. A book review. C. A career guide. D. A research article. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍汤姆・范德比尔特所著《初学者》，讲述他中年花一年学新技能的经历，源于育儿体验，强调享受学习过程的乐趣。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The motivation behind all this comes from Vanderbilt’s experience of parenthood, which can only be learned in the doing of it.(这一切背后的动机源自范德比尔特作为父母所经历的种种，而这种经验只有在亲身经历中才能获得)”可知，为人父母的经历激发了范德比尔特对学习新技能的浓厚兴趣。故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The acid (讽刺的) test is “Happy Birthday”, the most familiar song in the language and yet not easy to sing because it spans (跨越) an octave (八度音阶) and moves up and down it dramatically.(具有讽刺意味的是，《生日快乐》这首歌就是个考验——它是这门语言中最耳熟能详的歌曲，却并不容易唱好，因为它的音域跨越了一个八度，而且音调起伏极大)”可知，作者提及歌曲《生日快乐》是为了表明即便是耳熟能详的歌曲，要唱好也并非易事。故选D。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“In a world where apps constantly rate us and measure our performance, so that learning anything becomes another form of work, we should enjoy the process more and worry less about the product. All Vanderbilt achieves in the end is a basic skill in various unrelated activities. But it has brought him “an enormous and almost forgotten kind of pleasure”. This book conveys that pleasure and is itself a pleasure to read.(在一个应用程序不断对我们进行评分并衡量我们表现的世界里，以至于学习任何事物都变成了另一种形式的工作，我们应该更享受这个过程，而不要过于担心最终的结果。范德比尔特最终所获得的只是在各种不相关活动中的基本技能。但它却给他带来了“一种巨大且几乎被遗忘的愉悦感”。这本书传达了这种愉悦感，本身也是一本令人愉悦的读物)”可知，作者在最后一段强调了享受学习过程的重要性。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“In this book Beginners, Tom Vanderbilt joins the growing army of beginners.(在《初学者》这本书中，汤姆・范德比尔特加入了日益壮大的初学者队伍)”等内容可知，文章介绍汤姆・范德比尔特所著《初学者》，讲述他中年花一年学新技能的经历，源于育儿体验，强调享受学习过程的乐趣。从而推知，文章是一篇书评。故选B。 D Crows (乌鸦) can use tools and perform basic statistics, and they continue to surprise us. Earlier this year, a team of researchers from the University of Bristol found that the hooded crow, which has a grey body and black tail and head feathers (羽毛), is able to memorize the shape and size of an object after it is taken away and construct one like it. This kind of action requires the ability to form a mental template, which is basically an image in the mind of what a particular object looks like, even when that object is not present. Mental templates allow animals to create tools, which can be used to get food or make a stronger nest, both eventually leading to a better chance of survival. For their study, Sarah Jelbert and her coworkers first trained three hooded crows to recognize pieces of paper of different sizes and colors. To do this, they exposed the birds to “template” pieces of paper in different colors and sizes for several minutes before removing them and then rewarded the birds for dropping small pieces that matched these templates into a long narrow opening. The crows were next given the opportunity to make versions of these objects in exchange for a reward. The researchers found that all three crows made objects that matched the original template object they had been rewarded for in both color and size. “Unlike humans, who regularly copy each other’s behavior, we don’t have much evidence that crows will watch each other and copy what another crow is doing,” Jelbert says. However, young crows often steal their parents’ tools. So it’s possible that these crows learn how to make different types of tools from experience, stealing their parents’ tools, using them to remember what these tools look like, and then trying to create something similar, Jelbert believes. 12. Which of the following best illustrates a mental template? A. A monkey swinging from branch to branch. B. A cat getting back the food it hid. C. A crow sleeping in its nest. D. A dog playing with a ball. 13. What did the crows do in the study? A. They performed basic statistics. B. They were trained to do magic tricks. C. They matched and reproduced objects. D. They observed and copied one another. 14. What can we infer from young crows’ stealing incidents? A. These are social motivations. B. They may fall into an annoying habit. C. They come into conflict with their parents. D. These are opportunities for acquiring skills. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Crows communicate in a unique language B. Hooded crows use more tools than other birds C. Crows are even smarter than we thought D. Hooded crows identify sizes and colors with ease 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章开篇提到乌鸦会使用工具、进行基础统计，接着介绍研究发现它们能形成心理模板并复制物体，体现乌鸦比我们所想的更聪明。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“This kind of action requires the ability to form a mental template, which is basically an image in the mind of what a particular object looks like, even when that object is not present. Mental templates allow animals to create tools, which can be used to get food or make a stronger nest, both eventually leading to a better chance of survival. (这种行为需要具备形成心理模板的能力，这种模板本质上就是大脑中关于某一特定物体外观的图像，即便该物体并不在眼前也是如此。心理模板使动物能够制造工具，这些工具可用于获取食物或建造更坚固的巢穴，这两者最终都会增加生存的机会。)”可知，“mental template”指物体不在眼前时，脑海中仍能形成其形象的能力。B项“猫找回自己藏的食物”，说明猫能记住食物的位置和样子，符合这一概念。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“To do this, they exposed the birds to “template” pieces of paper in different colors and sizes for several minutes before removing them and then rewarded the birds for dropping small pieces that matched these templates into a long narrow opening. The crows were next given the opportunity to make versions of these objects in exchange for a reward. The researchers found that all three crows made objects that matched the original template object they had been rewarded for in both color and size. (为了实现这一目标，他们先让这些乌鸦接触不同颜色和大小的“模板”纸张，持续几分钟，然后取走这些模板纸张，接着奖励那些能将与这些模板相匹配的小碎片放入长而狭窄开口处的乌鸦。接下来，他们给这些乌鸦提供机会，让他们制作这些物体的类似版本以换取奖励。研究人员发现，这三只乌鸦所制作的物品在颜色和大小上都与它们曾因完成特定任务而获得奖励的原始模板物品完全一致。)”可知，乌鸦先被训练识别不同大小和颜色的纸（匹配物体），之后能制作出与模板在颜色和大小上匹配的物体（复制物体）。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, young crows often steal their parents’ tools. So it’s possible that these crows learn how to make different types of tools from experience, stealing their parents’ tools, using them to remember what these tools look like, and then trying to create something similar (然而，幼小的乌鸦经常会偷用它们父母的工具。所以有可能这些乌鸦是通过经验来学习如何制作不同类型的工具的，它们偷用父母的工具，利用这些工具来记住这些工具的样子，然后尝试制作类似的东西)”可知，偷工具可能是幼年乌鸦学习制作工具技能的机会，故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Crows (乌鸦) can use tools and perform basic statistics, and they continue to surprise us. (乌鸦能够使用工具，并且还能进行简单的统计运算，它们不断地让我们感到惊讶。)”结合文章开篇提到乌鸦会使用工具、进行基础统计，接着介绍研究发现它们能形成心理模板并复制物体，体现乌鸦比我们所想的更聪明。可知，C选项“乌鸦的智力甚至比我们之前认为的还要高”最符合文章标题。故选C。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Like many, I travel a lot for work. Unlike many, I never get tired of it. On the open road are always interesting people and new places. ____16____ When I travel, I wait to board the plane, wait in restaurants, wait to check into hotels, and on and on. ____17____ When a line forms, nearly everyone pulls out their phone to kill the time, playing games, checking email, and, especially, scrolling (滚屏) social media. You might think that this solution must work, but in fact it might not work at all. In one study, researchers found as people’s boredom increased, they used their phones more, but it only increased their boredom. Your phone may attract your attention, but after the first few seconds, you may find that it really isn’t much more interesting than staring at the wall. ____18____ If this solution is not helpful, looking within ourselves could be a better bet. ____19____ The most common definition of this is a thinking technique in which one continuously focuses on the present moment. You will find that putting down your phone and deliberately (故意地) taking note of what you observe will lower the discomfort from boredom. The best way to lower the misery of waiting, then, turns out to be not to change the world but to change oneself. ____20____ Most of us go about our days feeling dissatisfied with the world because it is failing in some way to meet our preferences. But on a moment’s reflection, we realize how foolish it is to suppose that it might. To do so is like canoeing (划独木舟) and complaining about the river’s bends instead of following them. A. It’s about practicing being mindful. B. Meanwhile, it consumes your energy. C. That insight can apply not just to waiting but to life itself. D. The expense and inconvenience of these things are permanent. E. Think of the last time you waited in an airport for a long-delayed flight. F. However, one thing about travel that has bothered me is the constant waiting. G. One waiting strategy most people have turned to of late is distraction by device. 【答案】16. F 17. G 18. B 19. A 20. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述作者热爱旅行但困扰于等待，指出用手机打发等待时间反增无聊，建议通过正念关注当下，且这一道理适用于生活。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Like many, I travel a lot for work. Unlike many, I never get tired of it. On the open road are always interesting people and new places. (和许多人一样，我因工作需要经常出差。但与许多人不同的是，我从未对这种生活感到厌倦。在广阔的旅途中，总能看到有趣的人和新的地方。)”以及后文“When I travel, I wait to board the plane, wait in restaurants, wait to check into hotels, and on and on. (当我旅行时，我会等待登机，等待在餐馆用餐，等待办理入住手续，等等。)”可知，前文提到旅行中有有趣的人和新地方，后文转而描述旅行中的各种等待（候机、等餐、入住等），本句起到转折过渡作用，指出旅行中需要等待。故F选项“但是，旅行中让我感到困扰的一点就是持续不断的等待。”符合语境，故选F。 【17题详解】 根据后文“When a line forms, nearly everyone pulls out their phone to kill the time, playing games, checking email, and, especially, scrolling (滚屏) social media. You might think that this solution must work, but in fact it might not work at all. (当队伍排起时，几乎所有人都会掏出手机来打发时间，玩游戏、查看邮件，尤其是浏览社交媒体。你可能会认为这种解决办法一定行得通，但实际上它可能根本不起作用。)”可知，后文提到人们排队时拿出手机打发时间（玩游戏、刷社交媒体等），即用电子设备来打发时间，故G选项“近来大多数人采用的一种应对等待的策略是通过使用电子设备来分散注意力。”符合语境，故选G。 【18题详解】 根据上文“In one study, researchers found as people’s boredom increased, they used their phones more, but it only increased their boredom. Your phone may attract your attention, but after the first few seconds, you may find that it really isn’t much more interesting than staring at the wall. (在一项研究中，研究人员发现，当人们的无聊感加剧时，他们会更多地使用手机，但这只会让他们更加感到无聊。你的手机或许能吸引你的注意力，但在最初的几秒钟之后，你可能会发现它其实并不比盯着墙壁看有趣多少。)”可知，前文指出手机虽能吸引注意力，但几秒后会发现并不比盯着墙有趣，故本句进一步说明手机打发时间的负面影响，故B选项“同时，它会消耗你的精力。”符合语境，故选B。 【19题详解】 根据后文“The most common definition of this is a thinking technique in which one continuously focuses on the present moment. You will find that putting down your phone and deliberately (故意地) taking note of what you observe will lower the discomfort from boredom. (对于这一概念最常见的定义是一种思维技巧，即持续专注于当下时刻。你会发现，放下手机，有意识地留意你所观察到的事物，能够减轻因无聊而产生的不适感。)”可知，后文解释 “这是一种持续关注当下的思考技巧”，即正念（mindful）练习，本句引出对这种方法的具体说明，前后呼应。故A选项“这关乎培养专注力的练习。”符合语境，故选A。 【20题详解】 根据上文“The best way to lower the misery of waiting, then, turns out to be not to change the world but to change oneself. (那么，减轻等待之苦的最佳方法，其实并非在于改变世界，而是在于改变自己。)”以及后文“Most of us go about our days feeling dissatisfied with the world because it is failing in some way to meet our preferences. But on a moment’s reflection, we realize how foolish it is to suppose that it might. To do so is like canoeing (划独木舟) and complaining about the river’s bends instead of following them. (我们大多数人每天都在抱怨这个世界不尽如人意，因为它在某些方面未能满足我们的期望。但稍作思考便会明白，这种想法是多么愚蠢。因为这样做就好比划着独木舟，却还在抱怨河流的弯道，而不是顺着弯道前进。)”可知，前文提到减少等待痛苦的最佳方式是改变自己而非改变世界，故本句将等待中的感悟推广到生活层面，升华主题，与后文对生活中应顺应而非抱怨的论述衔接紧密。故C选项“这一领悟不仅适用于等待的过程，也适用于生活本身。”符合语境，故选C。 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。 In high school, Wyatt Miller may have come across as a typical player, but his home economics class proved otherwise.

Daddy!” Betsy shouted, bouncing down the stairs two at a time with hair flying and eyes shining. “Guess what! Mrs. Billings, my teacher, put up a great big paper tree trunk (树干) on the wall. Every time somebody does something good and receives a compliment (夸奖), he gets to put a branch with his name on it on the tree.” “Sounds interesting,” said Daddy. “Did you get a compliment today?” “No, but Toby did. He washed all the colored chalk off the desks. I sure hope I will get a compliment tomorrow.” At school the next day Patricia got a compliment for erasing all the chalkboards, and Matt got a compliment for doing his best writing. Yet Betsy did not get a compliment. The following day started out no better. When Betsy leaned back (仰靠) in her chair to stretch, she lost her balance and fell over with a loud crash. At lunchtime she accidentally knocked over Ronnie’s milk. “I’ll never get a compliment this way,” she thought sadly. At the end of the day Mrs. Billings passed out some math tests the children had done the day before. “Boys and girls, only one person got 100 points in the math test. Congratulations, Betsy! Come up and get a branch to put on the Compliment Tree.” “Oh, boy!” Betsy cried excitedly. After school she ran home as fast as she could, her math test held tightly in one fist. “Guess what, Daddy! Guess what!” Betsy breathlessly poured out her good news. Later that evening, as Betsy looked happily at her math test with the gold star on it, her eyes stopped at the answer to one of the problems. “Oh, no!” she sighed. “Look, Daddy! I made a mistake! See?” “Well, it looks like you have a decision to make, Betsy,” said Daddy. “But I don’t want to lose my compliment!” Betsy said quietly. You’re old enough to know what’s right, Betsy,” said Daddy. He put his arm around her and added, “If I know my girl, she’ll make the right choice.” 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 The next day Betsy walked to school very slowly. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ At the end of the day, Mrs. Billings announced that Betsy could receive a special branch. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 The next day Betsy walked to school very slowly. Reaching the classroom door, her heart pounded. Taking a deep breath, Betsy approached Mrs. Billings’ desk. “Mrs. Billings,” she said quietly, holding out the test, “I found a mistake. I shouldn’t have gotten 100 or the branch.” Mrs. Billings looked at the paper, then at Betsy’s earnest face. A warm smile spread across her face. “Thank you for telling me, Betsy,” she said gently. “That was very honest.” Betsy felt a knot in her stomach loosen, though the loss of the branch still stung. At the end of the day, Mrs. Billings announced that Betsy could receive a special branch. Before dismissal, Mrs. Billings gathered the class. “Children,” she began, “Betsy discovered a mistake on her perfect math test and bravely chose to tell me about it, even knowing it meant she might lose her Compliment Tree branch.” Mrs. Billings continued, “Because Betsy showed such remarkable honesty, she deserves a very special branch on our Compliment Tree — one for doing what was right, even when it was hard.” She handed Betsy a bright green branch. A wave of happiness washed over Betsy, brighter than the gold star had ever made her feel. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了贝琪得知老师用“赞美树”奖励做好事的学生，渴望得到树枝。她数学考了100分获树枝，却发现自己有错。在父亲鼓励下，她向老师坦白，老师因她的诚实，奖励了她一根特别的树枝。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天，贝琪走路去学校时步伐十分缓慢”可知，第一段可描写贝琪向老师坦白的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“最终，比林斯夫人宣布，贝琪可以得到一棵特别的树枝作为奖励”可知，第二段可描写老师因贝琪的诚实，奖励了她一根特别的树枝。 2.续写线索：去学校——找老师——坦白真相——老师表扬——获得树枝作为奖励——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①跳动：pound/beat ②发现：discover/find ③席卷：wash over/overwhelm 情绪类 ①真诚：earnest/sincere ②勇敢地：bravely/courageously/boldly 【点睛】[高分句型1] Reaching the classroom door, her heart pounded.（运用了现在分词作状语） [高分句型2] Because Betsy showed such remarkable honesty, she deserves a very special branch on our Compliment Tree – one for doing what was right, even when it was hard.（运用了what引导宾语从句和when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 $$ 2024—2025学年度第二学期期末质量检测 高一英语试题 本试卷分第Ⅰ卷(选择题)和第Ⅱ卷(非选择题)两部分。满分150分。考试时间120分钟。答案应写在答题卷上，不能答在试题卷上。听力解压密码：st695ys 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。 1.

FarmFood 360° Is your kid curious about how chickens, cows, or pigs are raised? No problem! At FarmFood 360°, you can read about how some Canadian farms are run and watch a series of videos about each one, explaining everything from how a farmer spends their day to environmental sustainability (可持续性) of modern-day farms. Johnson Space Center Mini Neil Armstrongs should check out the Johnson Space Center online for space technology education opportunities. Boeing and Discovery Education host two virtual field trips on space exploration: Innovating The Future and ecoAction. Both trips include a video series and companion educator guides, so you can apply your newfound knowledge over the course of a few days’ worth of lesson plans and activities. Museum of Science The Museum of Science, a Boston-based science center, is worth a trip at some point in your life. Until you can get to Boston, the museum is hosting virtual content, including live animal demonstrations and chats about current science events. Seattle Aquarium The Seattle Aquarium is a good place for kids to learn about sea life. Check out what kinds of exhibits the aquarium houses on location through live cameras, activities, and fact sheets, and then head over to YouTube, where staff host a virtual field trip by walking-and-talking you through several of the species native to the Puget Sound in Washington that spend their days inside the aquarium. 1.

B One natural disaster after another had got Brazil into trouble. There had been a huge mudslide (泥石流) in the country’s southeast, then a mysterious oil spill along the northeastern coast, and finally fires in the Amazon rainforest. That was when Kauã Rodolfo, 11, decided it was time to help. The way he sees it, the planet is in big trouble — and it’s up to kids to solve it. So he started planting trees in the southern Brazilian city of Curitiba, one after another. “It’s important to save the planet,” Kauã said, “and it’s important to protect trees, because they make us better.” Kauã is an ambassador (大使) of an organization called Plant-for-the-Planet. Created in 2007 by a 9-year-old German named Felix Finkbeiner, it is an international awareness campaign led by children that began with a great goal: plant 1 million trees. But soon, what began as the one tree Felix planted at his school turned into several thousands, then several hundreds of thousands, then, within a few years, 1 million. But the campaign — and the goal — didn’t stop there. It has sprung up in many countries across the world. Last autumn, it reached Kauã’s classroom. He immediately fell in love with the idea of planting trees and raising awareness about the environment, so he signed up for a one-day training course to become an ambassador of Plant-for-the­Planet. What’s happening in the environment is unpredictable. It’s a scary time to be a kid. But Kauã doesn’t think it has to be. The planet will find a way if people can learn to work together, he said. It is an idea he is trying to instill (逐渐灌输) by giving regular environmental speeches and planting trees. “I’m not scared of the future of the planet, because I’m going to help the planet,” he said. “I’m going to do this. I’m going to go forward with this project. You don’t have to be scared.” He’s already planted seven trees. And he’s excited to plant more. “I don’t know why I love nature, but if I stopped planting trees, I would be sad,” he said. 4. Why does the author mention the natural disasters in paragraph 1? A. To give some background to Kauã’s action. B. To introduce the problems Kauã’s family is facing. C. To stress the importance of protecting the planet. D. To show the effects of human activities on the planet. 5. What can be learned about Plant-for-the-Planet? A. It was based in Brazil. B. It was founded by Kauã. C. It has a history of 20 years. D. It has achieved its original goal. 6. What is the purpose of Kauã’s speeches? A. To inspire people to take a training course. B. To attract people to Plant-for-the-Planet. C. To instill the idea of working hard into children. D. To encourage people to protect the environment together. 7. Which of the following can best describe Kauã? A. Helpful and patient. B. Positive and creative. C. Responsible and determined. D. Smart and brave. C Most highly skilled fields have rude names for beginners. And yet there has never been a better time to be a beginner. Learning platforms such as Coursera, Skillshare and Duolingo sell you an experience that you can fit around your busy life, achieving mastery in a short time. In this book Beginners, Tom Vanderbilt joins the growing army of beginners. Stuck in mid-career growth, he decides to spend a year learning new skills. He hires a singing teacher and joins the Britpop Choir. He takes up drawing, then surfing. He learns to juggle (玩杂耍). With the help of a jeweler, he even makes his own wedding ring. None of these attempts turn into life-changing passions. They are simply done for fun. The motivation behind all this comes from Vanderbilt’s experience of parenthood, which can only be learned in the doing of it. All parents are beginners, and beginner teachers, clumsily (笨拙地) passing on knowledge to their children. As he watches his daughter effortlessly pick up how to swim or play chess, Vanderbilt worries that he has left it too late. “It’s hard to be old and bad at something,” as a friend, returning to swimming in middle age, puts it. Luckily, he achieves satisfying results with relatively little painful effort. People appreciate his inexpert but improved singing because most people can’t sing very well. The title of one academic paper he cites — “Imprecise singing is widespread” — says it all. The acid (讽刺的) test is “Happy Birthday”, the most familiar song in the language and yet not easy to sing because it spans (跨越) an octave (八度音阶) and moves up and down it dramatically. In a world where apps constantly rate us and measure our performance, so that learning anything becomes another form of work, we should enjoy the process more and worry less about the product. All Vanderbilt achieves in the end is a basic skill in various unrelated activities. But it has brought him “an enormous and almost forgotten kind of pleasure”. This book conveys that pleasure and is itself a pleasure to read. 8. What motivates Vanderbilt’s passion for learning new skills? A. His friend’s swimming comeback. B. His experience of being a parent. C. His daughter’s advice on trying new things. D. His hope for changing the views of beginners. 9. Why does the author mention the song “Happy Birthday”? A. To indicate the importance of repetition in singing. B. To draw attention to its popularity around the world. C. To prove its effectiveness in testing musical memory. D. To show the difficulty in singing even well-known songs well. 10. What does the author stress in the last paragraph? A. The need to master various unrelated skills. B. The pleasure obtained from reading a book. C. The importance of enjoying the learning process. D. The significance of gaining recognition for one’s efforts. 11. What is the text? A. A news report. B. A book review. C. A career guide. D. A research article. D Crows (乌鸦) can use tools and perform basic statistics, and they continue to surprise us. Earlier this year, a team of researchers from the University of Bristol found that the hooded crow, which has a grey body and black tail and head feathers (羽毛), is able to memorize the shape and size of an object after it is taken away and construct one like it. This kind of action requires the ability to form a mental template, which is basically an image in the mind of what a particular object looks like, even when that object is not present. Mental templates allow animals to create tools, which can be used to get food or make a stronger nest, both eventually leading to a better chance of survival. For their study, Sarah Jelbert and her coworkers first trained three hooded crows to recognize pieces of paper of different sizes and colors. To do this, they exposed the birds to “template” pieces of paper in different colors and sizes for several minutes before removing them and then rewarded the birds for dropping small pieces that matched these templates into a long narrow opening. The crows were next given the opportunity to make versions of these objects in exchange for a reward. The researchers found that all three crows made objects that matched the original template object they had been rewarded for in both color and size. “Unlike humans, who regularly copy each other’s behavior, we don’t have much evidence that crows will watch each other and copy what another crow is doing,” Jelbert says. However, young crows often steal their parents’ tools. So it’s possible that these crows learn how to make different types of tools from experience, stealing their parents’ tools, using them to remember what these tools look like, and then trying to create something similar, Jelbert believes. 12. Which of the following best illustrates a mental template? A. A monkey swinging from branch to branch. B. A cat getting back the food it hid. C. A crow sleeping in its nest. D. A dog playing with a ball. 13. What did the crows do in the study? A. They performed basic statistics. B. They were trained to do magic tricks. C. They matched and reproduced objects. D. They observed and copied one another. 14. What can we infer from young crows’ stealing incidents? A. These are social motivations. B. They may fall into an annoying habit. C. They come into conflict with their parents. D. These are opportunities for acquiring skills. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Crows communicate in a unique language B. Hooded crows use more tools than other birds C. Crows are even smarter than we thought D. Hooded crows identify sizes and colors with ease 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能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Like many, I travel a lot for work. Unlike many, I never get tired of it. On the open road are always interesting people and new places. ____16____ When I travel, I wait to board the plane, wait in restaurants, wait to check into hotels, and on and on. ____17____ When a line forms, nearly everyone pulls out their phone to kill the time, playing games, checking email, and, especially, scrolling (滚屏) social media. You might think that this solution must work, but in fact it might not work at all. In one study, researchers found as people’s boredom increased, they used their phones more, but it only increased their boredom. Your phone may attract your attention, but after the first few seconds, you may find that it really isn’t much more interesting than staring at the wall. ____18____ If this solution is not helpful, looking within ourselves could be a better bet. ____19____ The most common definition of this is a thinking technique in which one continuously focuses on the present moment. You will find that putting down your phone and deliberately (故意地) taking note of what you observe will lower the discomfort from boredom. The best way to lower the misery of waiting, then, turns out to be not to change the world but to change oneself. ____20____ Most of us go about our days feeling dissatisfied with the world because it is failing in some way to meet our preferences. But on a moment’s reflection, we realize how foolish it is to suppose that it might. To do so is like canoeing (划独木舟) and complaining about the river’s bends instead of following them. A. It’s about practicing being mindful. B. Meanwhile, it consumes your energy. C That insight can apply not just to waiting but to life itself. D. The expense and inconvenience of these things are permanent. E. Think of the last time you waited in an airport for a long-delayed flight. F. However, one thing about travel that has bothered me is the constant waiting. G. One waiting strategy most people have turned to of late is distraction by device. 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。 In high school, Wyatt Miller may have come across as a typical player, but his home economics class proved otherwise.

Daddy!” Betsy shouted, bouncing down the stairs two at a time with hair flying and eyes shining. “Guess what! Mrs. Billings, my teacher, put up a great big paper tree trunk (树干) on the wall. Every time somebody does something good and receives a compliment (夸奖), he gets to put a branch with his name on it on the tree.” “Sounds interesting,” said Daddy. “Did you get a compliment today?” “No, but Toby did. He washed all the colored chalk off the desks. I sure hope I will get a compliment tomorrow.” At school the next day Patricia got a compliment for erasing all the chalkboards, and Matt got a compliment for doing his best writing. Yet Betsy did not get a compliment. The following day started out no better. When Betsy leaned back (仰靠) in her chair to stretch, she lost her balance and fell over with a loud crash. At lunchtime she accidentally knocked over Ronnie’s milk. “I’ll never get a compliment this way,” she thought sadly. At the end of the day Mrs. Billings passed out some math tests the children had done the day before. “Boys and girls, only one person got 100 points in the math test. Congratulations, Betsy! Come up and get a branch to put on the Compliment Tree.” “Oh, boy!” Betsy cried excitedly. After school she ran home as fast as she could, her math test held tightly in one fist. “Guess what, Daddy! Guess what!” Betsy breathlessly poured out her good news. Later that evening, as Betsy looked happily at her math test with the gold star on it, her eyes stopped at the answer to one of the problems. “Oh, no!” she sighed. “Look, Daddy! I made a mistake! See?” “Well it looks like you have a decision to make, Betsy,” said Daddy. “But I don’t want to lose my compliment!” Betsy said quietly. You’re old enough to know what’s right Betsy,” said Daddy. He put his arm around her and added, “If I know my girl, she’ll make the right choice.” 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 The next day Betsy walked to school very slowly. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ At the end of the day, Mrs. Billings announced that Betsy could receive a special branch. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
