山西省临汾新华中学2023-2024学年高二上学期9月月考英语试题 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Four most dangerous roads in the world Any road can be treacherous in the wrong weather conditions or with a reckless driver on the loose but these four are the most dangerous roads in the world. Col du Chaussy, France At 1,532 metres above sea level, Col du Chaussy in the Rhône-Alpes region of south-eastern France is a high mountain pass that starts with the famous “Les Lacets de Montvernier.” This special stretch is only about 3.2 km long but features 17 hairpin turns as you climb up an actual cliff. There’s a small concrete barrier as you zigzag upward but this improbable road, while impossibly picturesque, is still one of the most dangerous roads in the world. Karnali Highway, Nepal Approximately 50 people die here every year, making a drive on the 250 km Karnali Highway in the Himalayas of West Nepal a literal death wish. It is one of the most dangerous roads in the world even when it’s not monsoon season because the surface is extremely dusty making visibility poor and includes narrow stretches, landslides, falling rocks, flooded sections, potholes, huge drops off steep cliffs, and significant bumpiness. And now it is only a road passable, at best, during the day as the police have banned driving at night due to the high number of fatal accidents. Commonwealth Avenue, Philippines Unlike other roads and highways on this list, this one isn’t perched on the edge of a mountain or near a crumbling bridge. In fact, it’s a wide urban highway that’s just 12 km long. Eighteen lanes wide to be specific and due to heavy traffic, poor drainage which brings floods on the avenue, and the constant presence of motorbikes and pedestrians that tour buses can’t even see, this road has earned the tragic nickname “Killer Highway” because of the many accidents and fatalities suffered here. Taroko Gorge Road, Taiwan Taroko Gorge Road is one of the most dangerous roads in the world because it is carved out of a mountain and runs through one too. This popular 19km stretch in Taiwan is spectacular so you can expect a parade of tour buses, cars, scooters, bicyclists and pedestrians all sharing the same narrow road, and all trying to navigate blind corners and terrifying bends that look too small to fit around. If you find yourself on Taroko Gorge Road, you better hope the weather is fair, otherwise, you might suffer through landslides, floods and falling rocks that make sections impassable. 1. What do the four roads mentioned in the passage have in common? A. They are all located in mountainous areas. B. They all have a high risk of accidents and are among the world’s most dangerous roads. C. They are all closed to traffic at night. D. They all have problems with landslides and falling rocks. 2. Why is driving on Karnali Highway only allowed during the day? A. The road is too narrow for night driving. B. The police banned night driving because of frequent fatal accidents. C. The weather is too bad at night. D. There is no lighting on the road. 3. Which of the following is a special feature of Commonwealth Avenue compared with the other three roads? A. It is a narrow mountain road. B. It is a wide urban highway instead of a mountain road. C. It has a lot of hairpin turns. D. It is often hit by monsoons. B Luxury Travel Destinations Recommended for 2025 More travellers are choosing luxury holidays than ever before. A travel expert has shared the top luxury destinations for 2025. Mark Trim, who founded and runs Onboard Luxury, said there are some popular places around the world that keep showing up in online searches. Whether you want to stay in a city or relax at a resort, Trim told 9Travel about the best luxury spots.One place that Trim said has become very popular is Sardinia, an island in Italy. “This beautiful island has clean beaches, lovely villages, and excellent golf courses like Pevero Golf Club,” Mark said. Sardinia is lucky to have many wonderful places for swimming. It has long been a dream holiday spot for many travellers. Trim said the best time to visit is from June to September, so you can enjoy the nice weather. But you should know that this is also the busiest time for tourists. If you are looking for more adventure, the Okavango Delta in Botswana is a trip you might only take once in your life. It has many amazing animals. “This wild and beautiful place is one of Africa’s Seven Natural Wonders. It gives you a special chance to see many different kinds of animals and plants up close,” Mark explained. For those who want to visit a pretty small town, the Norwegian town of Bergen should be on their travel plan. “This UNESCO World Heritage City is located among wonderful fjords. It has colourful wooden houses and great views of the Northern Lights,” Mark said. If you are looking for the best beach resort, Trim said you shouldn’t miss the Maldives. “If you dream of a peaceful island trip with unmatched luxury, the Fari Islands in the Maldives should be your top choice,” Mark added. “It’s easy to get to from Australia—you just need a short flight. So it’s the perfect trip for people who want a luxurious and refreshing experience.” For people who want a beach holiday but don’t want to go far from home, Fiji is always a popular option. Many people choose to visit the Mamanuca Islands there. “This wonderful group of islands has perfect beaches, colourful coral reefs, and amazing sunsets,” Mark said. “Also, you can take direct flights to Nadi. Then you just need a short boat or helicopter ride to Malolo Island. So it’s very easy for Australians to get there.” 4. What is the main idea of the passage? A. How to plan a cheap holiday in 2025 B. Top luxury travel destinations for 2025 recommended by an expert C The busiest travel seasons for popular destinations D. How to get to different luxury destinations easily 5. When is the best time to visit Sardinia according to Mark Trim? A. From January to March B. From April to May C. From June to September D. From October to December 6. Which destination is most suitable for someone who loves wild nature and animals? A. Sardinia, Italy B. Okavango Delta, Botswana C. Bergen, Norway D. Fari Islands, Maldives 7. Why is Fiji convenient for Australians to visit? A. It has direct flights to Nadi and short trips to Malolo Island B. It is very close to Australia by car C. It offers free boat rides to all islands D. It has no visa requirements for Australians C Retirement is more than just an event—it is a transition that affects people’s mental health as much as their work lives. Susan Moore from Swinburne University of Technology writes about the challenges of this phase. Australians now need to be 67 years old to get the pension, so many people work longer. But because people are living longer (higher life expectancy), retirement may last 20 years or even more. How can people deal with this period of life? In 2018, Moore and a colleague did a survey. They asked nearly 1,000 Australians aged 55 and over—who said they were fully or mostly retired. The results showed most were satisfied with their retirement: 51% were very satisfied, and 35% were satisfied. Over 80% thought their life after retirement was better (47%) or the same (39%) as when they were working. Retirees liked the freedom most. They could sleep in, travel, meet family and friends, do gardening, learn new things, or spend more on nice things if they had enough money. But freedom also had problems. One woman in the survey said she got tired of this kind of life after four months and asked, “Is this all there is?” What did retirees miss the most? Nearly 20% worried about money, and one-third felt worse off financially—even though most of them had worked as professionals or in white-collar jobs. More importantly, they missed social connections: making new friends, joining activities, and feeling useful. Many said they missed working in a team and the purpose that work gave. One retiree said, “I miss the sense of purpose. I felt useful when I worked, but now I often feel lost, like I should be doing something.” Work also shapes who we are. It gives us status and helps build confidence. When we meet someone new, they often ask, “What do you do?” It seems like our job defines us, not the many other parts of our lives. So it’s not surprising that many retirees said retirement made them question their identity. 8. What age do Australians need to be to get the pension now? A. 55 B. 60 C. 67 D. 70 9. According to the 2018 survey, what percentage of retirees were very satisfied with their retirement? A. 35% B. 47% C. 51% D. 80% 10. What can we infer from the woman’s question “Is this all there is?”? A. She wanted to travel to more places. B. She felt bored with the freedom of retirement. C. She needed more money to enjoy retirement. D. She missed her old friends from work. 11. Why do retirees often face identity challenges? A. They have no chance to learn new skills. B. Their families don’t support their retirement life. C. Work used to define them, but now that part is gone. D They can’t stay in touch with their former colleagues. D China is accelerating the construction of an integrated national computing power platform, aiming to enhance the quality and efficiency of computational resources and strengthen the country’s capabilities in core technologies such as AI chips, said officials and experts. As the backbone of AI development, computing power has become the battleground for global technological supremacy, and China is charging ahead with unprecedented momentum despite challenges, they said. The move is China’s latest plan to scale up the digital infrastructure that is key to buoying its AI economy and to hone its technological prowess in strategic industries. Vice-Minister of Industry and Information Technology Xiong Jijun emphasized the government’s commitment to “guiding the orderly development of computing infrastructure and improving the supply quality of computing resources” at the 2025 China Computational Power Conference, which concluded on Sunday in Datong, Shanxi province. He emphasized the need to accelerate breakthroughs in key technologies such as graphic processing units and algorithms for large language models which are crucial for sharpening China’s competitive edge in AI. Roughly defined as the ability to process data, computing power includes technologies such as chips and data centers to support information processing, data storage and network capacity in the digital economy era. Wu Hequan, an academician at the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said that computing power is an invisible yet indispensable force behind any AI-driven metamorphosis, and that without enough computing power to process data, it is impossible to support large-scale AI applications. “Every yuan ($0.14) invested in computing power drives 3 to 4 yuan in GDP growth,” Wu said. “In the global race for AI leadership, expanding computing power supply is critical.” China’s total computing power has been growing at approximately 30 percent annually, driven largely by soaring demand for intelligent computing fueled by AI applications, data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology showed. Rao Shaoyang, director of the strategic development research institute of the China Telecom Research Institute, said, “AI is expected to contribute over 11 trillion yuan to China’s GDP by 2035.” “That will account for 4 to 5 percent of the total economy,” Rao said. “This growth could multiply computing power demand by 10 or even a hundred times.” 12. What does the underlined word “metamorphosis” in Paragraph 7 probably mean? A. Change. B. Challenge. C. Resource. D. Investment. 13. What can we infer from Wu Hequan’s words in Paragraph 8? A. China has already won the global race for AI leadership. B. Investing in computing power can promote economic growth. C. Computing power is less important than AI applications. D. One yuan invested in computing power can directly bring 3 to 4 yuan in GDP. 14. According to the passage, what is the main driver of China’s annual 30% growth in total computing power? A. The construction of more data centers. B. The decrease in the cost of AI chips. C. The rising demand for intelligent computing from AI applications. D. The government’s investment in graphic processing units. 15. What is the main purpose of China accelerating the construction of the integrated national computing power platform? A To host the 2025 China Computational Power Conference successfully. B. To improve computational resources’ quality and efficiency and strengthen core tech capabilities. C. To make AI contribute 11 trillion yuan to GDP by 2035. D. To ban foreign companies from participating in China’s computing power industry. 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。 Looking for a creative way to boost your brain? Memorising poetry has a whole host of mental health benefits…____16____ My friend Bruce is 85 years old. Despite the decades between us, we have plenty in common – predominantly, a love of poetry. In fact, it’s down to Lewis Carroll’s “Jabberwocky” – a poem we both memorised as children – that we are friends at all. This intergenerational friendship brings all kinds of benefits – Bruce and I are less likely to suffer from depression, according to 2020 research in the American Journal of Psychiatry, and are less likely to die from a range of chronic diseases, as noted in PLOS Medicine. ____17____ But it’s not just the friendship that’s doing us good – it’s the poetry. A poetry prescription ____18____ Believe it or not, poetry is a well-documented therapeutic tool. A 2021 study, published in the International Journal of Psychology, looked at the benefits of 10 90-minute poetry therapy sessions on women with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The participants experienced a significant increase in psychological wellbeing, and a significant decrease in PTSD symptoms. ____19____ Another research project from 2016, in the Journal of Palliative Medicine, looked at the effects of music and poetry on pain relief. Both art forms were found to bring about a reduction in pain, and also a reduction in depression, for participants. However, only poetry resulted in an increased sense of hope. And, in today’s world, who doesn’t need that? ____20____ Perhaps the magic lies in the fact that reading poetry is not a passive act. It invites you into the poet’s world, and creates “thinking space” in which we can reflect on our own lives through their words. The best poems don’t always make sense in a logical way, but they evoke an emotional reaction, and that can help us feel understood – forging a connection between poet and reader. In that way, a powerful poem can become a touchstone or friend. As poet Paul Celan wrote: “I cannot see any basic difference between a handshake and a poem.” A. So what makes poetry have this unique power to lift hope? B. One surprising advantage of memorising poetry is the relationships it builds. C. Music has long been used to help people relax and ease their pain. D. These positive effects of intergenerational friendship are truly amazing. E. Let’s explore how poetry works as a helpful tool for our mental and physical health. F. To get the most out of poetry, you should try writing your own sometimes. G. This study isn’t the only one that shows poetry’s ability to help people. 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Aaron often thinks about his parents, especially the days when the family was full of joy.

At 7, her UK parents pulled her and younger brother Jonathan out of school for a promised 3-year voyage to recreate Captain Cook’s final global trip — though it lasted 10 years. Her parents saw the journey as a “privilege” and “trip of a lifetime,” but Suzanne compared it to prison. She couldn’t attend school or have normal friendships. The voyage was dangerous: once, a huge storm hit their boat between South Africa and Australia. The 7-year-old was thrown around the cabin, fracturing her skull and breaking her nose. They later found a tiny Indian Ocean island where she had multiple head operations without anaesthetic. Realizing her parents had no plans to return, Suzanne saw education as her only lifeline to a normal life. Remote learning wasn’t an option in 1969, so she enrolled in an Australian correspondence school at 13, studying in the small cabin despite missed education gaps. At 16, she and her 15-year-old brother were sent to a New Zealand school while their parents kept sailing. Suzanne still got into Oxford University. After saving money from farm work, she bought a one-way plane ticket back to the UK. Inspired by her husband’s 2018 death, she shared her story publicly: her memoir Wavewalker became a bestseller, and she’s worked through her childhood trauma. Her tale touched millions — online fans praised her bravery, with some calling her book “one of the best” and saying her story inspired them to change their lives. Stepping off the plane in London, ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Besides sharing her story through Wavewalker and social media, Suzanne decided to do more to help young people facing similar feelings of being “trapped”. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 山西省临汾新华中学2023-2024学年高二上学期9月月考英语试题 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Four most dangerous roads in the world Any road can be treacherous in the wrong weather conditions or with a reckless driver on the loose but these four are the most dangerous roads in the world.

(此外，你可以乘坐直飞Nadi的航班。然后你只需要短途坐船或直升机到Malolo岛。所以澳大利亚人去那里很容易。)”可知，斐济对澳大利亚人来说很方便，因为可以直飞Nadi，然后再坐船或直升机到Malolo岛。故选A项。 C Retirement is more than just an event—it is a transition that affects people’s mental health as much as their work lives. Susan Moore from Swinburne University of Technology writes about the challenges of this phase. Australians now need to be 67 years old to get the pension, so many people work longer. But because people are living longer (higher life expectancy), retirement may last 20 years or even more. How can people deal with this period of life? In 2018, Moore and a colleague did a survey. They asked nearly 1,000 Australians aged 55 and over—who said they were fully or mostly retired. The results showed most were satisfied with their retirement: 51% were very satisfied, and 35% were satisfied. Over 80% thought their life after retirement was better (47%) or the same (39%) as when they were working. Retirees liked the freedom most. They could sleep in, travel, meet family and friends, do gardening, learn new things, or spend more on nice things if they had enough money. But freedom also had problems. One woman in the survey said she got tired of this kind of life after four months and asked, “Is this all there is?” What did retirees miss the most? Nearly 20% worried about money, and one-third felt worse off financially—even though most of them had worked as professionals or in white-collar jobs. More importantly, they missed social connections: making new friends, joining activities, and feeling useful. Many said they missed working in a team and the purpose that work gave. One retiree said, “I miss the sense of purpose. I felt useful when I worked, but now I often feel lost, like I should be doing something.” Work also shapes who we are. It gives us status and helps build confidence. When we meet someone new, they often ask, “What do you do?” It seems like our job defines us, not the many other parts of our lives. So it’s not surprising that many retirees said retirement made them question their identity. 8. What age do Australians need to be to get the pension now? A. 55 B. 60 C. 67 D. 70 9. According to the 2018 survey, what percentage of retirees were very satisfied with their retirement? A. 35% B. 47% C. 51% D. 80% 10. What can we infer from the woman’s question “Is this all there is?”? A She wanted to travel to more places. B. She felt bored with the freedom of retirement. C. She needed more money to enjoy retirement. D. She missed her old friends from work. 11. Why do retirees often face identity challenges? A. They have no chance to learn new skills. B. Their families don’t support their retirement life. C. Work used to define them, but now that part is gone. D. They can’t stay in touch with their former colleagues. 【答案】8. C 9. C 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了退休对人们心理健康和工作生活的影响，以及澳大利亚人在退休后面临的挑战，包括财务问题、社交联系的缺失以及对自我身份的质疑等。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“Australians now need to be 67 years old to get the pension (澳大利亚人现在需要年满67岁才能领取养老金)”可知，澳大利亚人现在需要年满67岁才能领取养老金。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“The results showed most were satisfied with their retirement: 51% were very satisfied, and 35% were satisfied. (结果显示，大多数人对退休生活感到满意：51%的人非常满意，35%的人满意。)”可知，根据2018年的调查，51%的退休人员对他们的退休生活非常满意。故选C项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第四段中的“Retirees liked the freedom most. They could sleep in, travel, meet family and friends, do gardening, learn new things, or spend more on nice things if they had enough money. But freedom also had problems. One woman in the survey said she got tired of this kind of life after four months and asked, ‘Is this all there is?’ (退休人员最喜欢自由。他们可以睡懒觉、旅行、见家人和朋友、做园艺、学习新事物，或者如果有足够的钱，可以花更多的钱在美好的事物上。但自由也有问题。调查中的一位女性说，她在四个月后就厌倦了这种生活，问道:‘就只有这些吗？’)”可知，从这位女士的问题“就只有这些吗？”中可以推断出，她对退休后的自由生活感到厌倦了。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“Work also shapes who we are. It gives us status and helps build confidence. When we meet someone new, they often ask, ‘What do you do?’ It seems like our job defines us, not the many other parts of our lives. So it’s not surprising that many retirees said retirement made them question their identity. (工作也塑造了我们的身份。它给了我们地位，帮助我们建立自信。当我们遇到新人时，他们经常会问:‘你是做什么的？’似乎我们的工作定义了我们，而不是我们生活的其他许多部分。因此，许多退休人员说退休让他们质疑自己的身份，这并不奇怪。)”可知，工作曾经定义了退休人员，但现在这部分已经消失了，所以他们经常面临身份挑战。故选C项。 D China is accelerating the construction of an integrated national computing power platform, aiming to enhance the quality and efficiency of computational resources and strengthen the country’s capabilities in core technologies such as AI chips, said officials and experts. As the backbone of AI development, computing power has become the battleground for global technological supremacy, and China is charging ahead with unprecedented momentum despite challenges, they said. The move is China’s latest plan to scale up the digital infrastructure that is key to buoying its AI economy and to hone its technological prowess in strategic industries. Vice-Minister of Industry and Information Technology Xiong Jijun emphasized the government’s commitment to “guiding the orderly development of computing infrastructure and improving the supply quality of computing resources” at the 2025 China Computational Power Conference, which concluded on Sunday in Datong, Shanxi province. He emphasized the need to accelerate breakthroughs in key technologies such as graphic processing units and algorithms for large language models, which are crucial for sharpening China’s competitive edge in AI. Roughly defined as the ability to process data, computing power includes technologies such as chips and data centers to support information processing, data storage and network capacity in the digital economy era. Wu Hequan, an academician at the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said that computing power is an invisible yet indispensable force behind any AI-driven metamorphosis, and that without enough computing power to process data, it is impossible to support large-scale AI applications. “Every yuan ($0.14) invested in computing power drives 3 to 4 yuan in GDP growth,” Wu said. “In the global race for AI leadership, expanding computing power supply is critical.” China’s total computing power has been growing at approximately 30 percent annually, driven largely by soaring demand for intelligent computing fueled by AI applications, data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology showed. Rao Shaoyang, director of the strategic development research institute of the China Telecom Research Institute, said, “AI is expected to contribute over 11 trillion yuan to China’s GDP by 2035.” “That will account for 4 to 5 percent of the total economy,” Rao said. “This growth could multiply computing power demand by 10 or even a hundred times.” 12. What does the underlined word “metamorphosis” in Paragraph 7 probably mean? A. Change. B. Challenge. C. Resource. D. Investment. 13. What can we infer from Wu Hequan’s words in Paragraph 8? A. China has already won the global race for AI leadership. B. Investing in computing power can promote economic growth. C Computing power is less important than AI applications. D. One yuan invested in computing power can directly bring 3 to 4 yuan in GDP. 14. According to the passage, what is the main driver of China’s annual 30% growth in total computing power? A. The construction of more data centers. B. The decrease in the cost of AI chips. C. The rising demand for intelligent computing from AI applications. D. The government’s investment in graphic processing units. 15. What is the main purpose of China accelerating the construction of the integrated national computing power platform? A. To host the 2025 China Computational Power Conference successfully. B. To improve computational resources’ quality and efficiency and strengthen core tech capabilities. C. To make AI contribute 11 trillion yuan to GDP by 2035. D. To ban foreign companies from participating in China’s computing power industry. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述中国加速建设国家算力平台，推动AI发展与经济增长。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第七段“Wu Hequan, an academician at the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said that computing power is an invisible yet indispensable force behind any AI-driven metamorphosis, and that without enough computing power to process data, it is impossible to support large-scale AI applications. (中国工程院院士邬贺铨表示，算力是任何人工智能驱动的metamorphosis背后无形却不可或缺的力量，没有足够的算力处理数据，就不可能支撑大规模的人工智能应用。)”可知，算力对于人工智能驱动的变革是不可或缺的，由此可推测metamorphosis意为“变革，改变”。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第八段中““Every yuan ($0.14) invested in computing power drives 3 to 4 yuan in GDP growth,” Wu said. (“每在算力上投入1元（0.14美元），就能带动3至4元的国内生产总值增长，”邬贺铨说。)”可知，邬贺铨认为在算力上投入资金可以带动GDP增长，即投资算力可以促进经济增长。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“China’s total computing power has been growing at approximately 30 percent annually, driven largely by soaring demand for intelligent computing fueled by AI applications, data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology showed. (工业和信息化部的数据显示，中国的算力总量每年以约30%的速度增长，这主要是由于人工智能应用推动了对智能计算的需求激增。)”可知，中国算力总量每年增长约30%的主要驱动力是人工智能应用推动的对智能计算的需求激增。故选C。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“China is accelerating the construction of an integrated national computing power platform, aiming to enhance the quality and efficiency of computational resources and strengthen the country’s capabilities in core technologies such as AI chips, said officials and experts. (官员和专家表示，中国正在加速构建一体化国家算力平台，旨在提高算力资源的质量和效率，并加强在人工智能芯片等核心技术方面的能力。)”可知，中国加速构建一体化国家算力平台的主要目的是提高算力资源的质量和效率，并加强在人工智能芯片等核心技术方面的能力。故选B。 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。 Looking for a creative way to boost your brain? Memorising poetry has a whole host of mental health benefits…____16____ My friend Bruce is 85 years old. Despite the decades between us, we have plenty in common – predominantly, a love of poetry. In fact, it’s down to Lewis Carroll’s “Jabberwocky” – a poem we both memorised as children – that we are friends at all. This intergenerational friendship brings all kinds of benefits – Bruce and I are less likely to suffer from depression, according to 2020 research in the American Journal of Psychiatry, and are less likely to die from a range of chronic diseases, as noted in PLOS Medicine. ____17____ But it’s not just the friendship that’s doing us good – it’s the poetry. A poetry prescription ____18____ Believe it or not, poetry is a well-documented therapeutic tool. A 2021 study, published in the International Journal of Psychology, looked at the benefits of 10 90-minute poetry therapy sessions on women with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The participants experienced a significant increase in psychological wellbeing, and a significant decrease in PTSD symptoms. ____19____ Another research project from 2016, in the Journal of Palliative Medicine, looked at the effects of music and poetry on pain relief. Both art forms were found to bring about a reduction in pain, and also a reduction in depression, for participants. However, only poetry resulted in an increased sense of hope. And, in today’s world, who doesn’t need that? ____20____ Perhaps the magic lies in the fact that reading poetry is not a passive act. It invites you into the poet’s world, and creates “thinking space” in which we can reflect on our own lives through their words. The best poems don’t always make sense in a logical way, but they evoke an emotional reaction, and that can help us feel understood – forging a connection between poet and reader. In that way, a powerful poem can become a touchstone or friend. As poet Paul Celan wrote: “I cannot see any basic difference between a handshake and a poem.” A. So what makes poetry have this unique power to lift hope? B. One surprising advantage of memorising poetry is the relationships it builds. C. Music has long been used to help people relax and ease their pain. D. These positive effects of intergenerational friendship are truly amazing. E. Let’s explore how poetry works as a helpful tool for our mental and physical health. F. To get the most out of poetry, you should try writing your own sometimes. G. This study isn’t the only one that shows poetry’s ability to help people. 【答案】16. B 17. D 18. E 19. G 20.

At 7, her UK parents pulled her and younger brother Jonathan out of school for a promised 3-year voyage to recreate Captain Cook’s final global trip — though it lasted 10 years. Her parents saw the journey as a “privilege” and “trip of a lifetime,” but Suzanne compared it to prison. She couldn’t attend school or have normal friendships. The voyage was dangerous: once, a huge storm hit their boat between South Africa and Australia. The 7-year-old was thrown around the cabin, fracturing her skull and breaking her nose. They later found a tiny Indian Ocean island where she had multiple head operations without anaesthetic. Realizing her parents had no plans to return, Suzanne saw education as her only lifeline to a normal life. Remote learning wasn’t an option in 1969, so she enrolled in an Australian correspondence school at 13, studying in the small cabin despite missed education gaps. At 16, she and her 15-year-old brother were sent to a New Zealand school while their parents kept sailing. Suzanne still got into Oxford University. After saving money from farm work, she bought a one-way plane ticket back to the UK. Inspired by her husband’s 2018 death, she shared her story publicly: her memoir Wavewalker became a bestseller, and she’s worked through her childhood trauma. Her tale touched millions — online fans praised her bravery, with some calling her book “one of the best” and saying her story inspired them to change their lives. Stepping off the plane in London, ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Besides sharing her story through Wavewalker and social media, Suzanne decided to do more to help young people facing similar feelings of being “trapped”. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Stepping off the plane in London, Suzanne held her small suitcase tightly, her hands trembling a little with a mix of nervousness and excitement. She took a bus to her old neighborhood, where the red-brick houses still stood tall. An elderly woman watering flowers at a gate stared at her for a moment, then gasped: “Suzanne? Is that really you?” It was Mrs. Carter, her former neighbor. Mrs. Carter pulled her into a warm hug, tears in her eyes. That night, Suzanne stayed at a small inn. Lying on the soft bed, she listened to the quiet hum of the city instead of crashing waves. For the first time in years, she didn’t wake up fearing storms or cramped spaces — she felt at peace. Besides sharing her story through Wavewalker and social media, Suzanne decided to do more to help young people facing similar feelings of being “trapped”. Once, a 16-year-old girl named Mia approached her after a speech, whispering that she felt stuck at home, forced to quit school to help her family. Suzanne gave Mia a copy of Wavewalker and her email address. With Suzanne’s encouragement, Mia enrolled in a part-time correspondence course. A year later, Mia sent her a photo of her first report card — all A’s. Suzanne smiled, knowing her pain had turned into a light for others. She often said, “No cage is too strong if you hold onto hope and keep learning.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章主要讲述了Suzanne Heywood在童年时期被迫与父母进行长达十年的环球航行，期间她失去了正常的教育和社交生活。然而，她通过自学考入了牛津大学，并在回到英国后公开分享了自己的经历，鼓舞了无数人。此外，Suzanne还积极帮助那些有类似“被困”感受的年轻人，用自己的经历照亮他们的道路，鼓励他们坚持学习和寻找希望。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句“从飞机上走下来，在伦敦……”可知，第一段主要描述了Suzanne Heywood在伦敦下飞机后，回到旧邻里的情景，以及她与昔日邻居Mrs. Carter的重逢与拥抱。 ②由第二段首句“除了通过“波浪行者”和社交媒体分享自己的经历之外，Suzanne还决定采取更多行动来帮助那些有着类似“被困住”的感受的年轻人。”可知，第二段主要讲述了Suzanne Heywood除了分享自己的故事外，还积极帮助面临困境的年轻人，特别是16岁的Mia，并鼓励她重返学习之路。 2.续写线索： Suzanne回到伦敦——与旧邻重逢——决定帮助年轻人——Mia寻求帮助——Suzanne给予鼓励——Mia取得优异成绩——Suzanne的感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①颤抖：tremble/shake ②接近：approach/come close to ③给予：give/provide/offer 情绪类 ①平静：feel at peace/feel calm and serene ②感觉被困住：feel stuck/trapped 【点睛】[高分句型1].
