Here are four of those hybrid species. “Brolar” bears — Brown bears and polar bears Evidence of a hybrid species born from brown bears and polar bears has been found in the United States and Canada in the past. Known as “Polar bears” or “Pizzlies”, they have a mostly white coat, with a brownish hue and a nose that is a cross between a polar bear and a brown or grizzly bear. They are known to be more suited to warmer temperatures than their Arctic relative, as they do not rely so heavily on sea ice for hunting. “Narlugas” — Narwhals (独角鲸) and beluga whales (白鲸) In 1990, a hunter in West Greenland discovered an interesting skull, which appeared to be that of a beluga whale-narwhal hybrid. It wasn’t until 2019 that DNA analysis confirmed that the creature was indeed 54% beluga from its father, and 46% narwhal from its mother. Experts believe that the hybrid may have been grey in color and possessed a tail like a narwhal but forward flippers like those of a beluga whale. Hybrids of harp seals and hooded seals Numerous species of Arctic seal are expected to mate (交配) to form hybrid offspring due to diminishing sea ice. This includes a hybrid of the harp seal and hooded seal, which both breed on pack ice of the North Atlantic Ocean and extend into the Arctic Ocean in summer months. A hybrid animal, found in the Gulf of St. Lawrence in Canada, was formally reported and confirmed by molecular analysis in 1997. “Harbor-Dall” porpoise (鼠海豚) — Harbor porpoises and Dall’s porpoises Hybrids of the harbor porpoises and the Dall’s porpoises have been found off the coast of British Columbia, Canada. Harbor porpoises are thought to be in decline due to habitat disturbance, meaning they may turn to other species to mate with. Experts believe more harbor porpoises will move north as temperatures rise, which will further increase their chances of breeding with Dall’s porpoises. 1. What do the four listed animals have in common? A. They share the same color. B. They are born due to the polar cold. C. Their parents come from different species. D. Sea ice is extremely important for them to hunt. 2. Which animal can’t be found in Canada? A. “Brolar” bears. B. “Narlugas”. C. Hybrids of harp seals and hooded seals. D. “Harbor-Dall” porpoise. 3. In which section of the Internet can we find this text? A. Economy. B. Education. C. Entertainment. D. Environment. B On July 29, 10-year-old Mayah Zamora went home after being hospitalized for 66 days. Mayah was a survivor of the May 24 shooting rampage at Robb Elementary in Uvalde, Texas. The little girl had more than 20 surgeries and underwent weeks of physical therapy after being shot in her hands, chest and back during the school shooting. Mayah’s doctors have called her survival miraculous. On August 24, she was honored as the Hero of the Month for August by MLB’s Houston Astros at a game against the Minnesota Twins, where she threw out the first pitch. While there, Mayah also met former Astros shortstop (游击手) Carlos Correa, who shared some incredible news with her family. The Zamoras learned during the game that the Correa family Foundation and other donors are funding the construction of a new home for the family in a location they chose. The trauma (创伤) of living just blocks from the gunman’s house had been taking a toll on (给……造成重大损伤) the young survivor. “I could never begin to imagine everything she has gone through, and we feel that this is one thing we could do to try to alleviate some of her pain,” Correa said. “I’m thankful to both teams for being a part of this effort.” His foundation shared a statement and some great photos of Mayah’s special night at the ballpark on its Facebook page. “We are so proud of you. Mayah, and we are honored to recognize you as our Hero of the Month,” wrote the Correa Family Foundation. “We hope this will be an opportunity for Mayah and her family to rebuild their lives, make new memories, and look towards a bright future.” 4. Why did the Correa family Foundation and other donors fund a new home for the Zamoras? A. Because the Zamoras didn’t want to live in their home. B. Because Correa wanted to reward Mayah for her bravery. C. Because the Zamoras’ home was near the gunman’s house. D. Because the Zamoras’ home had been destroyed by the gunman. 5. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “alleviate” in Paragraph 5? A. Ease. B. Suffer. C. Delay. D. Confirm. 6. Which of the following can best describe Correa? A. Selfish. B. Caring. C. Determined. D. Responsible. 7. What is the text? A. A diary entry. B. A news report. C. A book review. D. A moving story. C Soaring above a desert expanse in an aircraft, two scientists looked down with trained eyes at trees and bushes. After an hour’s flight, one of the scientists jotted in his book, “Look here for probable metal”. Meanwhile, aboard another plane cruising over a mountainous terrain, scientists sent a message to other counterparts on the ground, “Gold possible.” Walking across hilly ground, four scientists documented their findings,” This ground should be searched for metals. “From an airplane hovering over a hilly wasteland, a scientist sent back by radio one word,” Uranium.” None of the scientists possessed X-ray eyes: they had no supernatural powers for looking down below the earth’s surface. They were merely employing one of the most cutting- edge methodologies for locating minerals in the ground—using trees and plants as indicative markers that certain minerals may lie beneath the ground on which the trees and plants take root and flourish. This approach to mineral exploration is predicated upon the principle that minerals deep in the earth may affect the kind of bushes and trees that grow on the surface. At Watson Bar Creek, a brook six thousand feet high in the mountains of British Columbia, Canada, a mineral search group gathered bags of tree seeds. Boxes were filled with small branches from the trees. Roots were dug and put into boxes. Each bag and box was carefully marked. In a scientific laboratory the parts of the forest trees were burned to ashes and tested. Each small part was examined to learn whether there were minerals in it. Analysis of the roots, branches, and seeds disclosed an absence of silver. But small amounts of gold were detected in the roots, with lower gold concentrations present in the branches and seeds. The seeds growing nearest to the tree trunk had more gold than those growing on the ends of the branches. Had the trees not provided indications of gold in the ground, the scientists would not have allocated funds for digging into the depths. They did excavate and uncovered additional gold reserves below the surface. Further digging revealed substantial quantities of the precious metal. 8. Why could scientists tell possible mineral existence from plants? A. Scientists are trained to see through the earth’s surface and detect minerals. B. Some minerals deep in the earth can influence the type of surface vegetation. C. The roots can absorb and transport minerals to branches and seeds in large quantities. D. Plants growing in mineral- rich areas have unique shapes easy to identify from the air. 9. The study of the plants’ roots, branches, and seeds suggests that ________. A. branches tend to hold more gold than roots B. roots contain less gold than seeds near the trunk C. gold content in branches far from the trunk is higher than in seeds D. seeds closer to the trunk likely have more gold than those at branch ends 10. How does the writer support trees and plants indicate minerals? A. By presenting a case study. B. By listing different types of minerals. C. By making a comparison. D. By explaining the chemical mechanism. 11. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Scientists Study Tree Components for Gold. B. Trees and Plants: Clues to Underground Minerals. C. New Ways of searching for Underground Minerals. D. The Process of Gold Exploration in Trees and Plants. D XZERO, “World’s Most Walkable City” Will Be Built in Kuwait Do you fancy giving up your car for good, but are worried you won’t be able to get around? Plans have been released for the “world’s most walkable city”. Dubbed XZERO, the planned sustainable community in Kuwait would provide a net zero carbon lifestyle for 100, 000 residents, in balance with nature. All facilities and homes will be powered by 100 per cent renewable energy and will recycle all their water with smart water system. UAE-based designers URB say the city will provide food and energy security while promoting a green circular economy. The estimated cost of the project is £13 billion, and URB are aiming to start construction in 2024, to complete by 2034. The central area is surrounded by a series of “hubs” (枢纽) , each dedicated to education, entertainment and medical facilities. The hubs will reduce the walking distances required of residents, while the homes are densely spaced to promote a connected community. The green-tech hub will promote a collaborative innovative environment in food, energy, water and water tech. The medical hub will feature an autism (自闭症) village, wellness center and clinics. The educational hub will feature a nursery, school and an institute, while the commercial hub will include indoor mall and flexible office space. The green landscape is designed with engineered natural areas to provide a variation of habitats for wildlife as well as rain water harvesting, mitigating (和缓的) flooding, better air quality and cleaner water. The 1, 600 hectare development will provide 30, 000 residential units, as well as 30, 000 green jobs. These jobs will be created in the various hubs. “The creation of sustainable cities that follow the highest standards of living with lowest impact on the environment is no longer a choice, it has become a necessity,” Baharsh Bagherian, the CEO of URB, said, “The heart of XZERO is the unique resilient (弹性的) landscape, which is multifunctional and designed to promote health, wellbeing and biodiversity.” XZERO will promote sustainable tourism through its various eco-friendly hospitality assets, including a 5-star eco resort and eco lodges. “Edutainment” (寓教于乐型) facilities such as the utility park and nature conservation center are expected to transform the city into a unique visitor attraction. 12. What is XZERO intended to do? A. Better residents’ life. B. Save the limited energy. C. Explore a challenging lifestyle. D. Strengthen the power of Kuwait. 13. What can we know from Paragraph 4? A. Wild animals can’t be found. B. The hubs are closely connected. C. Only indoor mall is available. D. Residents have trouble finding a job. 14. What can be inferred from Baharsh Bagherian’s words? A. People have the right to say no to XZERO. B. Many other countries are expected to follow suit. C. XZERO will promote the development of tourism. D. XZERO can benefit both humans and environment. 15. Which of the following best describes the impact of XZERO? A. Doubtful. B. Short-lived. C. Far-reaching. D. Unidentifiable. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Research presented suggests that people who eat slowly are less likely than speed-eaters to become overweight or to develop metabolic syndrome (代谢综合征), which involves a variety of conditions associated with stroke, heart disease and diabetes. ___16___ In 2008, Japanese researchers, led by Hiroshima University cardiologist Dr Takayuki Yamaji, hired over 1,000 healthy Japanese adults. ___17___ At the same time, the researchers tracked these adults’ health for the next five years. Eighty-four people were diagnosed with metabolic syndrome during those five years, with a clear connection between eating speed and development of the disease. The incidence rate was 11.6% among fast eaters, 6.5% among normal eaters and just 2.3% among slow eaters. ___18___ Moreover, they had more chance to suffer from higher blood sugar. ___19___ In reality, a lot of research has shown that eating fast is associated with weight gain and other health issues. “You probably do eat more because you are eating so quickly. You really don’t have any idea of what you’ve eaten,” says American Heart Association spokesperson Dr Nieca Goldberg. “When you eat slowly, you are much more aware of your eating. You are chewing your food properly and you’re also slowing down digestion.” Goldberg says that it should take at least 30 minutes to eat a meal. ___20___ Goldberg suggests eating with a friend, cutting your food into smaller pieces, chewing more, taking deep breaths and setting your fork down between bites. A. Doing so also helps you feel full. B. Those results aren’t all that surprising. C. Eat in a situation where it’s beneficial to eating. D. The speedy eaters were also more likely to weigh more. E. This shows that when it comes to eating, slow and steady wins the race. F. So, if you tend to eat fast, you’ll likely need to train yourself to slow down. G. They asked the adults to characterize their eating speed — slow, normal or fast. 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和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Sharaine Caraballo and her husband Wilson met 82-year-old Paul Callahan in March last year when Wilson began working on their recently purchased home.

My parents were worried so they introduced a part-time job in a restaurant tome during the summer vacation, hoping it would make a difference to me. Although I hated it and didn’t believe it would bring any change to me, I had to accept it. The part-time job fell on Monday of each week. On the first Monday, I simply dared not look at people in the restaurant. And when I was speaking with them, my face turned red and my voice was low. On my way back home, I felt so bad. But when I reached home, my bad feelings disappeared. I found my parents had brought home a pet cat, which I had expected to get for a long period of time. The cat was so lovely. However, one Thursday, he secretly ran out and disappeared. We looked for him everywhere the whole day but found nothing. We lived in the city, close to a high-traffic road, and this cat didn’t have “street smarts”. I guessed he would probably die and wouldn’t be home again. And after three days of looking for the cat with no sign of him, I quite believed he wouldn’t be home again. My parents told me “A miracle (奇迹) may happen as long as you don’t give up.” However, I quite doubted it. On the morning of the following Monday, I left for work 45 minutes earlier and started walking to the bus stop a block away. While waiting for the bus there, I thought about the work and felt upset. It wouldn’t be helpful to me and it was tiring! How much I wanted to quit the job! And thinking of the cat, I felt even worse. Since it was still early, I suddenly wanted to spare some time to look for the cat again though I had little hope. I told myself, “If I still fail to find him this time, I won’t look for him again.” Then, I decided to walk to the next bus stop to look for him around. Minutes later, suddenly, a dirty and weak cat sitting by a tree caught my eye. 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。 My eyes widened, and I was surprised to find it was just our cat. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Encouraged, I rushed to the bus stop and decided not to give up the part-time job. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高三英语练习一 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.

After an hour’s flight, one of the scientists jotted in his book, “Look here for probable metal”. Meanwhile, aboard another plane cruising over a mountainous terrain, scientists sent a message to other counterparts on the ground, “Gold possible.” Walking across hilly ground, four scientists documented their findings,” This ground should be searched for metals. “From an airplane hovering over a hilly wasteland, a scientist sent back by radio one word,” Uranium.” None of the scientists possessed X-ray eyes: they had no supernatural powers for looking down below the earth’s surface. They were merely employing one of the most cutting- edge methodologies for locating minerals in the ground—using trees and plants as indicative markers that certain minerals may lie beneath the ground on which the trees and plants take root and flourish. This approach to mineral exploration is predicated upon the principle that minerals deep in the earth may affect the kind of bushes and trees that grow on the surface. At Watson Bar Creek, a brook six thousand feet high in the mountains of British Columbia, Canada, a mineral search group gathered bags of tree seeds. Boxes were filled with small branches from the trees. Roots were dug and put into boxes. Each bag and box was carefully marked. In a scientific laboratory the parts of the forest trees were burned to ashes and tested. Each small part was examined to learn whether there were minerals in it. Analysis of the roots, branches, and seeds disclosed an absence of silver. But small amounts of gold were detected in the roots, with lower gold concentrations present in the branches and seeds. The seeds growing nearest to the tree trunk had more gold than those growing on the ends of the branches. Had the trees not provided indications of gold in the ground, the scientists would not have allocated funds for digging into the depths. They did excavate and uncovered additional gold reserves below the surface. Further digging revealed substantial quantities of the precious metal. 8. Why could scientists tell possible mineral existence from plants? A. Scientists are trained to see through the earth’s surface and detect minerals. B. Some minerals deep in the earth can influence the type of surface vegetation. C. The roots can absorb and transport minerals to branches and seeds in large quantities. D. Plants growing in mineral- rich areas have unique shapes easy to identify from the air. 9. The study of the plants’ roots, branches, and seeds suggests that ________. A. branches tend to hold more gold than roots B. roots contain less gold than seeds near the trunk C. gold content in branches far from the trunk is higher than in seeds D. seeds closer to the trunk likely have more gold than those at branch ends 10. How does the writer support trees and plants indicate minerals? A. By presenting a case study. B. By listing different types of minerals. C. By making a comparison. D. By explaining the chemical mechanism. 11. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Scientists Study Tree Components for Gold. B. Trees and Plants: Clues to Underground Minerals. C. New Ways of searching for Underground Minerals. D. The Process of Gold Exploration in Trees and Plants. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍科学家利用树木植物作为指示标记勘探地下矿物的方法，并举加拿大Watson Bar Creek通过树木发现金矿的例子说明。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“This approach to mineral exploration is predicated upon the principle that minerals deep in the earth may affect the kind of bushes and trees that grow on the surface.(这种矿产勘探的方法基于这样一个原则：地球深处的矿产会影响地表植被的种类)”可知，科学家能够从植物中推断出是否存在矿物质是因为地球深处的一些矿物质会影响地表植被的类型。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The seeds growing nearest to the tree trunk had more gold than those growing on the ends of the branches.(靠近树干的那些种子所含的黄金量比长在树枝末端的种子要多)”可知，对植物的根、枝和种子的研究表明，靠近树干的种子通常比位于树枝末端的种子含有更多的黄金。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“At Watson Bar Creek, a brook six thousand feet high in the mountains of British Columbia, Canada, a mineral search group gathered bags of tree seeds. Boxes were filled with small branches from the trees. Roots were dug and put into boxes.(在加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省山区海拔六千英尺处的沃森巴里克溪，一个矿物勘探小组收集了成袋的树种种子。箱子中装满了树木的小树枝。根部也被挖出并放入了箱子中)”可知，作者在第三、四、五段以加拿大 Watson Bar Creek 的研究为例，详细描述了科学家通过分析树木的根、枝、种子发现金矿的过程，以此支持 “植物可指示矿物” 的观点，属于案例研究。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“None of the scientists possessed X-ray eyes: they had no supernatural powers for looking down below the earth’s surface. They were merely employing one of the most cutting- edge methodologies for locating minerals in the ground-using trees and plants as indicative markers that certain minerals may lie beneath the ground on which the trees and plants take root and flourish. This approach to mineral exploration is predicated upon the principle that minerals deep in the earth may affect the kind of bushes and trees that grow on the surface.(这些科学家都没有拥有透视的能力：他们也没有任何超自然的本领能够穿透地表深入地下观察。他们只是在运用一种最先进的技术来寻找地下的矿产——利用树木和植物作为指示标志，因为某些矿产可能就位于树木和植物生长的土壤之下。这种矿产勘探的方法基于这样一个原则：地球深处的矿产会影响地表植被的种类)”结合文章介绍科学家利用树木植物作为指示标记勘探地下矿物的方法，并举加拿大Watson Bar Creek通过树木发现金矿的例子说明。可知，B选项“树木与植物：地下矿物质的线索”最符合文章标题。故选B。 D XZERO, “World’s Most Walkable City” Will Be Built in Kuwait Do you fancy giving up your car for good, but are worried you won’t be able to get around? Plans have been released for the “world’s most walkable city”. Dubbed XZERO, the planned sustainable community in Kuwait would provide a net zero carbon lifestyle for 100, 000 residents, in balance with nature. All facilities and homes will be powered by 100 per cent renewable energy and will recycle all their water with smart water system. UAE-based designers URB say the city will provide food and energy security while promoting a green circular economy. The estimated cost of the project is £13 billion, and URB are aiming to start construction in 2024, to complete by 2034.

Eighty-four people were diagnosed with metabolic syndrome during those five years, with a clear connection between eating speed and development of the disease. The incidence rate was 11.6% among fast eaters, 6.5% among normal eaters and just 2.3% among slow eaters. ___18___ Moreover, they had more chance to suffer from higher blood sugar. ___19___ In reality, a lot of research has shown that eating fast is associated with weight gain and other health issues. “You probably do eat more because you are eating so quickly. You really don’t have any idea of what you’ve eaten,” says American Heart Association spokesperson Dr Nieca Goldberg. “When you eat slowly, you are much more aware of your eating. You are chewing your food properly and you’re also slowing down digestion.” Goldberg says that it should take at least 30 minutes to eat a meal. ___20___ Goldberg suggests eating with a friend, cutting your food into smaller pieces, chewing more, taking deep breaths and setting your fork down between bites. A. Doing so also helps you feel full. B. Those results aren’t all that surprising. C. Eat in a situation where it’s beneficial to eating. D. The speedy eaters were also more likely to weigh more. E. This shows that when it comes to eating, slow and steady wins the race. F. So, if you tend to eat fast, you’ll likely need to train yourself to slow down. G. They asked the adults to characterize their eating speed — slow, normal or fast. 【答案】16. E 17. G 18. D 19. B 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述研究表明慢食更健康，快食易导致超重和代谢综合征等问题，并给出慢食建议。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Research presented suggests that people who eat slowly are less likely than speed-eaters to become overweight or to develop metabolic syndrome (代谢综合征), which involves a variety of conditions associated with stroke, heart disease and diabetes.(相关研究显示，进食缓慢的人比进食速度快的人更不容易发胖，也不容易患上代谢综合征。代谢综合征是一种综合病症，包括多种与中风、心脏病和糖尿病相关的病症)”可知，研究表明吃得慢的人比吃得快的人更不容易超重或患代谢综合征，空处应总结这一研究结论，E项“这表明在饮食方面，慢而稳者胜”承接上文研究结果，概括了“吃得慢更健康”的核心观点，符合语境。故选E。 【17题详解】 根据上文“In 2008, Japanese researchers, led by Hiroshima University cardiologist Dr Takayuki Yamaji, hired over 1,000 healthy Japanese adults.(2008年，由广岛大学心脏病专家Takayuki Yamaji博士领导的日本研究人员招募了超过1000名健康的日本成年人)”以及下文“At the same time, the researchers tracked these adults’ health for the next five years.(与此同时，研究人员对这些成年人的健康状况进行了为期五年的跟踪调查)”可知，上文提到2008年日本研究人员招募了1000多名健康成年人，下文说明研究人员对这些人的健康进行了五年追踪，空处应补充研究过程中对这些成年人的具体操作，G项“他们要求这些成人描述自己的饮食速度——慢、正常或快”符合研究逻辑，既呼应了“招募受试者”的前提，又为后续“追踪健康与进食速度的关系”铺垫，衔接自然。故选G。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Eighty-four people were diagnosed with metabolic syndrome during those five years, with a clear connection between eating speed and development of the disease. The incidence rate was 11.6% among fast eaters, 6.5% among normal eaters and just 2.3% among slow eaters.(在这五年期间，有84人被诊断出患有代谢综合征，饮食速度与该疾病的发展之间存在明显的关联。快速进食者患病率高达11.6%，正常进食者为6.5%，而慢食者仅为2.3%)”以及下文“Moreover, they had more chance to suffer from higher blood sugar.(此外，他们更有可能出现血糖升高的情况)”可知，上文指出五年间84人被诊断出代谢综合征，且进食速度与患病概率相关，空处应进一步说明快食者的其他健康问题。D项“快食者也更有可能体重更重”与上文的患病概率数据形成递进，补充了快食的另一个负面影响，且与下文衔接紧密，符合语境。故选D。 【19题详解】 根据下文“In reality, a lot of research has shown that eating fast is associated with weight gain and other health issues. “You probably do eat more because you are eating so quickly. You really don’t have any idea of what you’ve eaten,” says American Heart Association spokesperson Dr Nieca Goldberg. “When you eat slowly, you are much more aware of your eating. You are chewing your food properly and you’re also slowing down digestion.”(实际上，大量研究已经表明，进食过快与体重增加以及其他健康问题有关。美国心脏协会发言人Nieca Goldberg博士表示：“你可能会吃得更多，因为你是这么快地进食的。你根本不知道自己吃了什么。”“当你进食缓慢时，你会更加清楚自己的饮食情况。你会充分咀嚼食物，而且消化过程也会随之减缓。”)”可知，空处为总起句，B项中Those results指代上文的各项研究结果，B项“以上这些结果并不完全那么令人惊讶”起到过渡作用，既认可了上文日本研究结果的合理性，又引出下文，使上下文逻辑连贯。故选B。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Goldberg says that it should take at least 30 minutes to eat a meal.(Goldberg表示，一顿饭至少应该花30分钟)”及下文“Goldberg suggests eating with a friend, cutting your food into smaller pieces, chewing more, taking deep breaths and setting your fork down between bites.(Goldberg建议与朋友一起用餐，将食物切成小块，多咀嚼，深呼吸，并在每吃一口后将叉子放下)”可知，上文提到Goldberg认为一顿饭至少需要30分钟，下文给出了放慢进食速度的具体建议，空处应承上启下，提出针对快食者的建议。F项“所以，如果你倾向于吃得快，你可能需要训练自己放慢速度”既呼应了上文“需要30分钟吃饭”的观点，又为下文的具体建议做了铺垫，符合语境。故选F。 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和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Sharaine Caraballo and her husband Wilson met 82-year-old Paul Callahan in March last year when Wilson began working on their recently purchased home.

(运用了现在分词短语作状语) 第二节(满分25分) 57. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 I was a shy 13-year-old boy that year, afraid to speak before people and poor at communicating with others. My parents were worried so they introduced a part-time job in a restaurant tome during the summer vacation, hoping it would make a difference to me. Although I hated it and didn’t believe it would bring any change to me, I had to accept it. The part-time job fell on Monday of each week. On the first Monday, I simply dared not look at people in the restaurant. And when I was speaking with them, my face turned red and my voice was low. On my way back home, I felt so bad. But when I reached home, my bad feelings disappeared. I found my parents had brought home a pet cat, which I had expected to get for a long period of time. The cat was so lovely. However, one Thursday, he secretly ran out and disappeared. We looked for him everywhere the whole day but found nothing. We lived in the city, close to a high-traffic road, and this cat didn’t have “street smarts”. I guessed he would probably die and wouldn’t be home again. And after three days of looking for the cat with no sign of him, I quite believed he wouldn’t be home again. My parents told me “A miracle (奇迹) may happen as long as you don’t give up.” However, I quite doubted it. On the morning of the following Monday, I left for work 45 minutes earlier and started walking to the bus stop a block away. While waiting for the bus there, I thought about the work and felt upset. It wouldn’t be helpful to me and it was tiring! How much I wanted to quit the job! And thinking of the cat, I felt even worse. Since it was still early, I suddenly wanted to spare some time to look for the cat again though I had little hope. I told myself, “If I still fail to find him this time, I won’t look for him again.” Then, I decided to walk to the next bus stop to look for him around. Minutes later, suddenly, a dirty and weak cat sitting by a tree caught my eye. 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。 My eyes widened, and I was surprised to find it was just our cat. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Encouraged, I rushed to the bus stop and decided not to give up the part-time job. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: My eyes widened, and I was surprised to find it was just our cat. Excited, I walked right up to him. While I carried him in my arms, he pushed his dirty face into mine. I wept with joy because I had found my cat. I turned around and took him to rush home. Seeing me carrying our cat, my mother was surprised. When I showed him to her, she said, “Just as I told you, a miracle may happen as long as you don’t give up.” This time, I nodded and smiled. Encouraged, I rushed to the bus stop and decided not to give up the part-time job. “Maybe it’ll indeed change me if I stick to it.” I told myself while heading towards the restaurant. Still feeling a little tired and afraid while I was working that day, I was better than before. And I continued doing the job. Eventually, I miraculously found I dared to look directly at the customers and communicate with them with a confident smile. My parents were happy about my changes. When my job ended that summer, I wrote a sentence in my journal: “Don’t give up before a miracle happens.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者13岁时很害羞，不敢在人前说话，也不善于与人交流。父母很担心，所以他们在暑假给作者介绍了一份餐馆的兼职工作，希望能有所帮助。作者一开始很羞涩，但是因为一只猫作者坚持了下来。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我睁大了眼睛，惊讶地发现那只是我们家的猫”可知，第一段可描写作者发现了那只猫。 ②由第二段首句内容“我受到了鼓舞，冲到公交车站，决定不放弃这份兼职工作”可知，第二段可描写作者坚持完成了工作。 2.续写线索：发现猫——带回家——惊讶——不放弃——完成兼职——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 抱着：carry/hug 结束：end/be over 坚持：stick to / persist in 情绪类 惊讶：surprised /astonished 快乐：joy /happiness 【点睛】[高分句型1] When I showed him to her, she said, “Just as I told you, a miracle may happen as long as you don’t give up.”(运用了when引导时间状语从句) [高分句型2] “Maybe it’ll indeed change me if I stick to it.”(运用了if引导条件状语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
