Isle-sur-la-Sorgue’s famous antique market is held every Sunday, and runs throughout the full day. However, if you want to pick up something back home for your family or friends, I recommend you go early, because all the good stuff sells quickly. Marché d’ Aligre in Paris Along with foods from all across France, it also includes other items like wines, antiques, household goods, fabrics, old books, furniture, etc. The market is open every day except Monday from 7:30 am to 1:30 pm on weekdays and up to 2:30 pm on weekends. You can book a guided tour to Marché d’ Aligre. Marché des Lices in Rennes In the heart of the city is a large square that holds many restaurants and bars. But probably one of my favorite things to do in Rennes is to visit the farmers’ market, Marché des Lices. The first market was held here in 1453, and it has been a gathering point ever since. The market has expanded several times, with everything like fruits and vegetables, flowers, and more being sold here. The market runs every Saturday from 7:30 am to 1:30 pm. Grande Braderie de Lille in Lille With over 10,000 exhibitors in the streets, the city of Lille in the north of France hosts one of the largest and oldest flea (跳蚤) markets in Europe, selling antiques, paintings, furniture, and more. It is usually held on the first weekend of September, attracting millions of people every year. With various stands, local foods, a half-marathon, and parties late into the night, there is something for everyone. 1. What are you advised to do to buy great gifts at Isle-sur-la-Sorgue’s antique market? A. Arrive there early. B. Pay in cash. C. Hire a guide in advance. D. Go with your family or friends. 2. When is Marché d’ Aligre open? A. From 7:30 am to 1:30 pm on Monday. B. From 7:30 am to 2:30 pm on Tuesday. C. From 7:30 am to 2:30 pm on Saturday. D. From 7:30 am to 4:00 pm on Sunday. 3. What can we know about the market in Lille? A. It’s never open late into the night. B. It’s one of Europe’s largest flea markets. C. It’s mainly intended for farmers. D. It’s held on the last weekend monthly. 【答案】1. A 2. C 3. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四个法国值得一游的市场，包括它们的位置、特色及开放时间。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Isle-sur-la-Sorgue’s antique market in Provence部分中“However, if you want to pick up something back home for your family or friends, I recommend you go early, because all the good stuff sells quickly.(但是，如果你想给家人或朋友带点东西回家，我建议你早点去，因为所有好东西都卖得很快)”可知，如果你想在Isle-sur-la-Sorgue古董市场买到好礼物，建议你早点去那里。故选A项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Marché d’ Aligre in Paris部分中“The market is open every day except Monday from 7:30 am to 1:30 pm on weekdays and up to 2:30 pm on weekends.(市场除星期一外，每天上午7:30至下午1:30营业，周末营业至下午2:30)”可知，Marché d’Aligre市场星期六上午7:30至下午2:30是营业的。故选C项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Grande Braderie de Lille in Lille部分中“With over 10,000 exhibitors in the streets, the city of Lille in the north of France hosts one of the largest and oldest flea (跳蚤) markets in Europe, selling antiques, paintings, furniture, and more.(法国北部的里尔市在街上有一万多家参展商，拥有欧洲最大、最古老的跳蚤市场之一，出售古董、绘画、家具等)”可知，Lille的市场是欧洲最大的跳蚤市场之一。故选B项。 B As a student in Pakistan, Riffat Arif faced bad treatment from her teachers at school. She dreamed of a teacher who could show equal respect and love to children with no difference, but she could not find that teacher. Therefore, in 1997, at the age of just 13, she founded a school in the courtyard of her home, free to all. Arif asked her younger sister to learn from her. She also started requesting her friends’ younger sisters or brothers to come to her school, which was a play area for them in the beginning. Arif wanted to do something opposite to the experiences she had to face as a child. She would take the little children in her lap and teach them that way. When a teacher shows such affection to the children, they feel protected, and they feel like they are with their parents. She wanted teachers to be like that. However, her parents were not in a position to help her, so she learned to do embroidery (刺绣) to make money and sought support online. She worked eight hours a day, taught her students for four hours and taught herself for four hours to earn degrees in political science and history. She never took a day off. She was focusing only on the three things. As she expanded her school, she realized the opportunity to go to school was rare for those children who belonged to a poverty-stricken community. In her city, Gujranwala, over 20,000 children were child laborers making money for their families. So she reached out to those parents to make them understand that education was really important. Luckily, many of those children were sent to her school. Riffat Arif, now known as Sister Zeph, has been awarded the largest annual global prize for teachers, the Varkey Foundation Global Teacher Prize, $1 million, with which Arif planned to buy a piece of land to build a bigger and better school. 4. What led Arif to set up her own school? A. Her parents’ understanding and support. B. Her teachers’ encouragement at school. C. Her disappointing childhood schooling. D. Her lack of opportunity to go to school. 5. Why did Arif take the little children in her lap to teach them? A. They were too young to stand. B. She wanted them to feel loved. C. She was learning to be a mother. D. They asked to be treated like that. 6. How did Arif help the children in the poor community? A. By providing jobs for their parents. B. By teaching them to do labor work. C. By donating a lot of money to them. D. By getting them to receive education. 7. Which of the following words can best describe Arif? A. Determined but selfish. B. Humorous and responsible. C. Ambitious and hardworking. D. Unconfident but adventurous. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了里法特・阿里夫13岁在家中院里创办了一所对所有人免费的学校，她努力办学，最终获得了全球教师大奖的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“As a student in Pakistan, Riffat Arif faced bad treatment from her teachers at school. She dreamed of a teacher who could show equal respect and love to children with no difference, but she could not find that teacher. Therefore, in 1997, at the age of just 13, she founded a school in the courtyard of her home, free to all. (里法特・阿里夫巴基斯坦的一名学生，学校里老师对她不好。她梦想有一位老师能一视同仁地向孩子们展示平等的尊重和爱，但她找不到这样的老师。因此，1997年，年仅13岁的她在自家院子里创办了一所学校，对所有人免费。)”可知，是她令人失望的童年求学经历促使她创办了自己的学校。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“She would take the little children in her lap and teach them that way. When a teacher shows such affection to the children, they feel protected, and they feel like they are with their parents. She wanted teachers to be like that. (她会把小孩子抱在腿上，用那种方式教他们。当老师对孩子们表现出这样的爱时，他们会感到受到保护，会感觉像和父母在一起。她希望老师们能这样。)”可知，阿里夫把小孩子抱在腿上教他们，是因为她想让他们感受到保护与爱。故选B项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“So she reached out to those parents to make them understand that education was really important. Luckily, many of those children were sent to her school. (所以她联系了那些家长，让他们明白教育真的很重要。幸运的是，许多孩子被送到了她的学校。)”可知，阿里夫通过让贫困社区的孩子接受教育来帮助他们。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。从阿里夫13岁就创办学校，克服困难努力办学，得奖后还想要建更大更好的学校等行为可推知，看出她有雄心壮志且勤奋努力。C选项“有雄心且勤奋的”最符合对她的描述。故选C项。 C Big changes can come in tiny details. A publisher has discovered that changing the design and font (字体) in books saves millions of pages and thousands of trees. The design team at Harper Collins examined how they could make their books environmentally friendly while preserving readability. It all started in 2015 when Zondervan, their division, explored ways to save pages when printing a classic book. The classic is a huge book, consisting of 2,500 pages. To save pages, the division developed a new typeface called NIV Comfort Print that is compact (紧凑) and comfortable to read. The use of Zondervan’s compact font reduced the classic’s length by 350 pages and saved 100 million pages of paper. If these pages were stacked up (堆积), this would be the size of four Empire State Buildings. Harper Collins wanted to apply this solution to their fiction and non-fiction books. After they asked designers to come up with ideas, the designers created 50 versions of a 600-page book by using easy-to-read fonts and redesigned pages where there was less white space. During these tests, they focused on fonts that were more compact, coming up with a list of 15 preferred eco-friendly fonts. They also considered white space on the page and created clever designs to make the books more compact without readers even perceiving the difference. Designers also considered the heaviness of the font so the ink would not bleed through the page. Their new designs save ink, paper, printing costs, and trees while preserving the reader’s positive experience. “It was simply a different approach. Now, our designers are constantly questioning how we do things and thinking about ways to make things more sustainable,” says Tracey Menzies, who works at Harper Collins. Questioning how we do things to make them more sustainable applies to all, especially those who work at an office with a printer. Be it at home, at school or at work, sustainable solutions can go a long way. And one need not be a publisher to adopt these changes. 8. Why does the author mention the Empire State Building in paragraph 2? A. To prove the new theory of printing. B. To tell the size of the huge classic book. C. To show the difficulty of producing paper. D. To explain how much paper can be saved. 9. What did the designers do to save paper on the 600-page book? A. They reduced white space. B. They shortened the content. C. They adopted the smallest font. D. They designed digitalized versions. 10. What might the author expect readers to do according to the last paragraph? A. Remaining unchanged. B. Become a publisher. C. Live a sustainable life. D. Read books out of curiosity. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. Eco-friendly ways to store books. B. Resource-saving publishing changes. C. A creative and cooperative publisher. D. An innovative solution to deforestation. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了哈珀・柯林斯出版社通过改变书籍设计和字体来节省纸张，实现资源节约和环保的相关情况。 8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The use of Zondervan’s compact font reduced the classic’s length by 350 pages and saved 100 million pages of paper. If these pages were stacked up (堆积), this would be the size of four Empire State Buildings. (使用Zondervan出版社的紧凑字体使这本经典书籍的页数减少了350页，节省了1亿页纸张。如果把这些纸张堆叠起来，将有四栋帝国大厦那么高)”可知，作者提到帝国大厦是为了通过类比，形象地说明节省纸张的数量之多。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“After they asked designers to come up with ideas, the designers created 50 versions of a 600-page book by using easy-to-read fonts and redesigned pages where there was less white space. (在他们要求设计师想出办法后，设计师们通过使用易读的字体和重新设计页面，减少了空白区域，制作了一本600页书籍的50个版本)”可知，设计师们通过减少页面上的空白区域来节省纸张。故选A项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Questioning how we do things to make them more sustainable applies to all, especially those who work at an office with a printer. Be it at home, at school or at work, sustainable solutions can go a long way. (思考如何让我们所做的事情更具可持续性适用于所有人，尤其是那些在有打印机的办公室工作的人。无论是在家里、学校还是工作中，可持续的解决方案都能发挥很大作用)”可知，作者期望读者能够践行可持续的生活方式，从身边小事做起，节约资源。故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“A publisher has discovered that changing the design and font (字体) in books saves millions of pages and thousands of trees. (一家出版社发现，改变书籍的设计和字体可以节省数百万页纸张和数千棵树木)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了哈珀・柯林斯出版社通过改变书籍设计和字体来节约资源，实现环保出版的变革。故选B项。 D When you see robotic lawnmowers’ blades (割草机的叶片) moving fast, you are expecting a more beautiful and tidier lawn in front of your eyes. But sadly, sometimes you can see injured or even dead hedgehogs (刺猬). What a horrible scene! Sophie Lund Rasmussen, a member of the Wildlife Conservation Research Unit at the University of Oxford, carried out hedgehog crash tests to see if robotic lawnmowers were safe and found the animal was often endangered by the blades because the technology couldn’t detect it. The sensors and cameras are typically too weak to detect hedgehogs hidden in the grass. The automatic computer-controlled lawnmowers are more dangerous to hedgehogs than human-powered machines because a person would likely discern the animal and stop. Rasmussen hopes her tests will be known by designers to ensure robotic lawnmowers are hedgehog-safe. “This will eventually allow for a labeling system guiding the consumers into buying hedgehog-friendly robotic lawnmowers, and therefore contribute to the conservation of this declining and beloved species,” she said. Rasmussen’s finding suggests that these deadly machines need better sensors to spot the animal and change the direction of blades to reduce harm. She added, “The next step is definitely also to apply advanced technology such as camera recognition, which will eventually allow the robotic lawnmowers to detect hedgehogs at a distance, and avoid them.” Rasmussen tested 19 different types of robotic lawnmowers which are available to buy and found some models were safer for small hedgehogs than others. However, all of these lawnmowers had to physically interact with hedgehogs to detect them before they reacted. Her wish for future machines was that they could detect hedgehogs at a distance and change direction. “For now, the best advice is to check the lawn for any hedgehog before starting the robotic lawnmower or to only let it run during the day as this reduces the risk of encounters with hedgehogs, which are active primarily at night,” Rasmussen said. 12. What is paragraph 1 mainly intended to show? A. Robotic lawnmowers have gained popularity. B. The number of hedgehogs is declining quickly. C. It’s very challenging to maintain a beautiful lawn. D. Robotic lawnmowers are dangerous to hedgehogs. 13. What does the underlined word “discern” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Spot. B. Support. C. hide. D. Protect. 14. Rasmussen hopes current robotic lawnmowers can be _________. A. sold at a more reasonable price B. improved with high technology C. redesigned by some animal lovers D. changed into human-powered machines 15. What is Rasmussen’s suggestion on using robotic lawnmowers? A. checking their blades first. B. Following them all the time. C. Training them with hedgehogs. D. Avoiding using them at night. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了机器人割草机对刺猬构成的潜在威胁，并介绍了牛津大学野生动物保护研究小组的成员Sophie Lund Rasmussen对此进行的研究及建议。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“When you see robotic lawnmowers’ blades (割草机的叶片) moving fast, you are expecting a more beautiful and tidier lawn in front of your eyes. But sadly, sometimes you can see injured or even dead hedgehogs (刺猬). What a horrible scene!(当你看到机器人割草机的刀片快速移动时，你会期待眼前出现一个更漂亮、更整洁的草坪。但遗憾的是，有时你会看到受伤甚至死亡的刺猬。多么可怕的场景啊！)”可知，第一段主要描述了机器人割草机对刺猬构成的潜在危险。故选D项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“The automatic computer-controlled lawnmowers are more dangerous to hedgehogs than human-powered machines because a person would likely discern the animal and stop.(自动电脑控制的割草机比人力机器对刺猬更危险，因为人可能会discern动物并停下来)”可知，与自动电脑控制的割草机相比，人力机器对刺猬更安全，由此可推测，这是因为人可能会“发现”动物并停下来，划线词discern与A项“Spot”意思相近，意为“发现”。故选A项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Rasmussen’s finding suggests that these deadly machines need better sensors to spot the animal and change the direction of blades to reduce harm. She added, “The next step is definitely also to apply advanced technology such as camera recognition, which will eventually allow the robotic lawnmowers to detect hedgehogs at a distance, and avoid them.”(拉斯穆森的研究结果表明，这些致命机器需要更好的传感器来发现动物，并改变刀片的方向以减少伤害。她补充说：“下一步肯定是要应用先进的技术，比如摄像头识别，这最终将使机器人割草机能够在远处发现刺猬，并避开它们。”)”可知，Rasmussen认为应该应用先进的技术使机器人割草机能够在远处发现刺猬，并避开它们，说明他希望当前的机器人割草机能够通过高科技得到改进。故选B项。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段““For now, the best advice is to check the lawn for any hedgehog before starting the robotic lawnmower or to only let it run during the day as this reduces the risk of encounters with hedgehogs, which are active primarily at night,” Rasmussen said.(“就目前而言，最好的建议是在启动机器人割草机之前先检查草坪上是否有刺猬，或者只在白天让它运行，因为这可以降低与主要在夜间活动的刺猬相遇的风险，”拉斯穆森说)”可知，Rasmussen建议机器人割草机只在白天运行，即避免在夜间使用机器人割草机。故选D项。 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。 Doomscrolling is when you spend a lot of time online consuming negative news.

E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了“阴暗刷屏(Doomscrolling)”这种沉迷于浏览负面新闻的现象，并给出了减少这种行为的一些方法建议。 【16题详解】 根据前文“Doomscrolling is when you spend a lot of time online consuming negative news. But once you do it a few times, it can easily become a habit, locking you into a loop (循环) of feeling bad and then reading the news to confirm that you should be feeling bad. (阴暗刷屏是指你在网上花大量时间浏览负面新闻。但是，一旦你这样做了几次，它就很容易成为一种习惯，把你锁在一个感觉不好的循环中，然后阅读新闻来确认你应该感觉不好)”可知，空前阐述了阴暗刷屏的不良影响。根据后文的小标题“Be mindful of checking your phone. / Focus on the reality. / Ask for help. (看手机的时候需留意/关注现实/寻求帮助)”可知，此空与阴暗刷屏的应对之法有关。D选项“幸运的是，你可以采取措施来减少落入这个陷阱的冲动”既承接前文的问题，又引出后文的解决办法，起到承上启下的作用，符合语境。故选D。 【17题详解】 根据小标题“Be mindful of checking your phone. (看手机的时候需留意)”和后文“So you should be mindful about how often you pick up your phone. (所以你应该留意你拿起手机的频率)”可知，此空是解释为什么需要留意看手机的行为。G选项“如果你有阴暗刷屏的倾向，看手机可能是你会自动去做的事”解释了应留意拿起手机频率的原因，与后文衔接紧密。故选G。 【18题详解】 根据后文“When all the news seems bad, it can lead you to feel hopeless and down. But try to remember that you only see bits and pieces of the world — and it’s not all bad. Guitarist Anthony Frusciante once said, “If you look for the good, you will find it. It is there.” (当所有新闻似乎都很糟糕时，会让你感到绝望和沮丧。但试着记住，你看到的只是世界的零星片段——并非全是糟糕的。吉他手Anthony Frusciante曾经说过：“如果你寻找好的一面，你就会找到它。”它就在那里。”)”可知，新闻里除了负面的，还有正面的，只要寻找，就会找到。B选项“寻找积极的新闻”能概括本段主旨——要主动寻找积极新闻。故选B。 【19题详解】 根据后文“like taking a shower, calling a friend or picking up a good book. (比如洗澡、给朋友打电话或拿起一本好书)”可知，这些都是现实生活中关爱自我的行为，F选项 “也许是时候进行一次自我关怀的行为来摆脱阴暗刷屏了”与后文的例子相呼应。故选F。 【20题详解】 根据前文“If you’ve tried very hard but still can’t break your doomscrolling habit, seek help from specialists. They’ll help you get to the root of the habit. (如果你非常努力但仍然无法改掉阴暗刷屏的习惯，可以向专家求助，他们会帮助你找到这个习惯的根源)”。根据下文“which will help you find (这会帮助你找到)”可知，空处所陈述的内容能起到帮助作用。E选项“你们将一起努力寻找持久有效的干预措施” 承接上文，说明和专家一起会做的事，也呼应下文干预措施能帮到人们。故选E。 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。 Toby is an old dog.

The copper coin originated from “huan cash”, a kind of ancient copper coin with ring shape used in the Warring States Period ____37____ lasted from 475 BC to 221 BC. ____38____ (general) speaking, most of the copper coins ____39____ (be) round and there is a square hole in the center of the coin-hence there is another Chinese name called “fangkong cash” (fangkong mean square hole). People can distinguish different kinds of copper coins by the letters ____40____ (mark) on the coins. These letters always refer to the royal title in different ____41____ (dynasty), such as “Qianlong Tongbao” and “Yongzheng Tongbao” in the Qing Dynasty (1616 — 1911) .

Generally 39. are 40. marked 41. dynasties 42. the 43. than 44. to make 45. be seen 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了中国铜钱的历史、起源、种类及特点。 【36题详解】 考查形容词。句意：铜钱是中国古代以铜为原料的货币的统称，它出现在秦朝（公元前221年 — 公元前206年），这个朝代给中国人民留下了各种各样的珍宝，比如长城和兵马俑。根据空后treasures可知，空处需用形容词various“各种各样的”作定语修饰名词treasures。故填various。 【37题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：铜币起源于“环钱”，这是一种战国时期（公元前475年至公元前221年）使用的环形古铜币。空处需用关系词引导定语从句，先行词是the Warring States Period，关系词在定语从句中作主语，所以空处需用关系代词which/that引导定语从句。故填which/that。 【38题详解】 考查副词。句意：一般来说，大多数铜币都是圆的，在硬币的中心有一个方孔——因此它还有一个中文名字叫“方孔钱”（fangkong意思是方孔）。generally speaking“一般来说”，固定短语，句首单词首字母需大写。故填Generally。 【39题详解】 考查时态和主谓一致。句意：同上。根据空后的“is”可知，此处表示客观事实，所以空处谓语动词需用一般现在时态，主语是复数most of the copper coins，所以be动词需用are。故填are。 【40题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：人们可以通过硬币上标记的字母来区分不同种类的铜币。本句已有谓语动词can distinguish，且空处没有连词，所以空处需用非谓语动词作后置定语修饰名词letters，动词mark与letters之间是被动关系，所以空处需用过去分词marked作后置定语。故填marked。 【41题详解】 考查名词。句意：这些字母总是指不同朝代的皇室头衔，如清朝（1616 — 1911）的“乾隆通宝”和“雍正通宝”。different后需接可数名词复数，此处指不同朝代的皇室头衔，所以空处需用名词dynasties“朝代”。故填dynasties。 【42题详解】 考查冠词。句意：最早的铜钱叫“半两钱”，在秦朝建立后出现并开始在全国流通。in the whole country“在全国”，固定短语。故填the。 【43题详解】 考查介词。句意：半两钱比当时流通的任何其他硬币都更省料，而且方孔更容易制作。根据空前比较级more material-economical可知，空处需用介词than，表示“比……”。故填than。 【44题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：同上。be easier to do sth.“做某事更容易”，固定搭配，所以空处需用动词不定式形式。故填to make。 【45题详解】 考查情态动词的被动语态。句意：这表明当时的人们重视效率，这在兵马俑的奇迹中也可以看到。空处是which引导的非限制性定语从句的谓语动词，表示“能够被看到”，需用情态动词的被动语态：could be done。故填be seen。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 假定你是李华，你的好友Alan发邮件询问你本周六是否愿意前往他爷爷的果园（orchard）帮忙采摘水果。请你回复邮件，内容包括： 1. 答应前往； 2. 询问准备工作。 注意：1. 写作词数应为80个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Alan, ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Alan, I’m glad to receive your email, in which you asked if I would like to help pick fruits in your grandfather’s orchard this Saturday.

He was crazy about basketball more than anything else in the world. He would spend hours every day practicing his dribbling (运球), shooting and passing. He dreamed of one day winning games on a team. Owen’s town had a small basketball court that was often empty. Owen would go there every day after school to practice. One day, as he was shooting hoops (投篮), he heard a voice behind him, “Hey, kid! You’re pretty good!” Owen turned around to see a tall man with a friendly smile. The man introduced himself as Coach Johnson and asked Owen if he wanted to join his basketball team. The team was made up of kids from all over the town, and they practiced every day after school. Owen was overjoyed because he had never played on a team before. He wanted to start and win games. Owen quickly became the star player of the team. However, the team never won a game. “I had trained so hard and performed excellently, but we were always losing! Jack should have run much faster towards me and Kris should have passed the ball to me!” Owen kept complaining to the coach. The complaint seemed understandable! Owen was admired by his teammates because he was fast and had incredible shots. However, Johnson knew Owen lacked something important. He told Owen to learn to play with his teammates as a team instead of just focusing on himself. Owen didn’t quite understand that at first and insisted he just needed to practice harder to win games. However, disaster struck. Owen injured his ankle one day and had to sit out for several weeks, which let him fall into anxiety. He felt his dream was slipping away. During his recovery at home, Owen refused to see anyone on the team, except his coach. Johnson handed Owen a phone downloaded with some videos about the best basketball teams and some cards from Owen’s teammates. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Owen couldn’t wait to watch those videos. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After recovering, Owen returned to his team as a changed player. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Owen couldn’t wait to watch those videos. He watched them over and over again, noticing that the players weren’t just good at shooting and dribbling, but also had incredible cooperative spirit. Owen realized that he had been so focused on his own success that he had forgotten about the importance of teamwork. As he thought of his teammates, he saw the words “We are a team!” written on each of the card. He decided to become a better teammate. After recovering, Owen returned to his team as a changed player. He passed the ball more, encouraged his teammates and worked hard to help improve their skills. Johnson was relieved to see self-centered Owen had got what he had been lacking in. Those diligent kids played as a strong team and they started winning games. To Owen’s delight, his dream finally came true. More importantly, Owen learned that basketball was more about working together as a team. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了山里小镇上的小男孩Owen非常热爱篮球，他每天刻苦练习，梦想着能在球队赢得比赛。一天，他遇到了Johnson教练，被邀请加入篮球队。尽管Owen表现出色，但球队总是输球，他开始抱怨队友，教练告诉他要学会团队合作。一次受伤让Owen感到梦想受挫，但在家休养期间，教练给了他一些视频和队友的卡片。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Owen迫不及待地想看那些视频”可知，第一段可描写Owen认真地看视频，意识到团队合作的重要性，以及他看到队友的卡片，想要成为一名融入团队的队员。 ②由第二段首句内容“在康复之后，Owen以一名改变了的球员的身份回到了他的球队”可知，第二段可描写Owen融入球队，和队友紧密配合协作，Johnson教练很满意，以及他们的球队开始赢得比赛，Owen真的了解了篮球中团队合作的意义。 2. 续写线索：Owen看视频——Owen意识到团队合作的重要性——Owen看卡片，想做出改变——Owen回到球队——Owen和队友合作——球队赢比赛，Owen的感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①注意到：notice/observe ②意识到：realize/recognize ③忽略：forget/neglect 情绪类 ①欣慰的：relieved/eased/alleviated ②高兴：delight/happiness/joy 【点睛】[高分句型1] He watched them over and over again, noticing that the players weren’t just good at shooting and dribbling, but also had incredible cooperative spirit.

Isle-sur-la-Sorgue’s famous antique market is held every Sunday, and runs throughout the full day. However, if you want to pick up something back home for your family or friends, I recommend you go early, because all the good stuff sells quickly. Marché d’ Aligre in Paris Along with foods from all across France, it also includes other items like wines, antiques, household goods, fabrics, old books, furniture, etc. The market is open every day except Monday from 7:30 am to 1:30 pm on weekdays and up to 2:30 pm on weekends. You can book a guided tour to Marché d’ Aligre. Marché des Lices in Rennes In the heart of the city is a large square that holds many restaurants and bars. But probably one of my favorite things to do in Rennes is to visit the farmers’ market, Marché des Lices. The first market was held here in 1453, and it has been a gathering point ever since. The market has expanded several times, with everything like fruits and vegetables, flowers, and more being sold here. The market runs every Saturday from 7:30 am to 1:30 pm. Grande Braderie de Lille in Lille With over 10,000 exhibitors in the streets, the city of Lille in the north of France hosts one of the largest and oldest flea (跳蚤) markets in Europe, selling antiques, paintings, furniture, and more. It is usually held on the first weekend of September, attracting millions of people every year.

She dreamed of a teacher who could show equal respect and love to children with no difference, but she could not find that teacher. Therefore, in 1997, at the age of just 13, she founded a school in the courtyard of her home, free to all. Arif asked her younger sister to learn from her. She also started requesting her friends’ younger sisters or brothers to come to her school, which was a play area for them in the beginning. Arif wanted to do something opposite to the experiences she had to face as a child. She would take the little children in her lap and teach them that way. When a teacher shows such affection to the children, they feel protected, and they feel like they are with their parents. She wanted teachers to be like that. However, her parents were not in a position to help her, so she learned to do embroidery (刺绣) to make money and sought support online. She worked eight hours a day, taught her students for four hours and taught herself for four hours to earn degrees in political science and history. She never took a day off. She was focusing only on the three things. As she expanded her school, she realized the opportunity to go to school was rare for those children who belonged to a poverty-stricken community. In her city, Gujranwala, over 20,000 children were child laborers making money for their families. So she reached out to those parents to make them understand that education was really important. Luckily, many of those children were sent to her school. Riffat Arif, now known as Sister Zeph, has been awarded the largest annual global prize for teachers, the Varkey Foundation Global Teacher Prize, $1 million, with which Arif planned to buy a piece of land to build a bigger and better school. 4. What led Arif to set up her own school? A. Her parents’ understanding and support. B. Her teachers’ encouragement at school. C. Her disappointing childhood schooling. D. Her lack of opportunity to go to school. 5. Why did Arif take the little children in her lap to teach them? A. They were too young to stand. B. She wanted them to feel loved. C. She was learning to be a mother. D. They asked to be treated like that. 6. How did Arif help the children in the poor community? A. By providing jobs for their parents. B. By teaching them to do labor work. C. By donating a lot of money to them. D. By getting them to receive education. 7. Which of the following words can best describe Arif? A Determined but selfish. B. Humorous and responsible. C. Ambitious and hardworking. D. Unconfident but adventurous. C Big changes can come in tiny details. A publisher has discovered that changing the design and font (字体) in books saves millions of pages and thousands of trees. The design team at Harper Collins examined how they could make their books environmentally friendly while preserving readability. It all started in 2015 when Zondervan, their division, explored ways to save pages when printing a classic book. The classic is a huge book, consisting of 2,500 pages. To save pages, the division developed a new typeface called NIV Comfort Print that is compact (紧凑) and comfortable to read. The use of Zondervan’s compact font reduced the classic’s length by 350 pages and saved 100 million pages of paper. If these pages were stacked up (堆积), this would be the size of four Empire State Buildings. Harper Collins wanted to apply this solution to their fiction and non-fiction books. After they asked designers to come up with ideas, the designers created 50 versions of a 600-page book by using easy-to-read fonts and redesigned pages where there was less white space. During these tests, they focused on fonts that were more compact, coming up with a list of 15 preferred eco-friendly fonts. They also considered white space on the page and created clever designs to make the books more compact without readers even perceiving the difference. Designers also considered the heaviness of the font so the ink would not bleed through the page. Their new designs save ink, paper, printing costs, and trees while preserving the reader’s positive experience. “It was simply a different approach. Now, our designers are constantly questioning how we do things and thinking about ways to make things more sustainable,” says Tracey Menzies, who works at Harper Collins. Questioning how we do things to make them more sustainable applies to all, especially those who work at an office with a printer. Be it at home, at school or at work, sustainable solutions can go a long way. And one need not be a publisher to adopt these changes. 8. Why does the author mention the Empire State Building in paragraph 2? A To prove the new theory of printing. B. To tell the size of the huge classic book. C. To show the difficulty of producing paper. D. To explain how much paper can be saved. 9. What did the designers do to save paper on the 600-page book? A. They reduced white space. B. They shortened the content. C. They adopted the smallest font. D. They designed digitalized versions. 10. What might the author expect readers to do according to the last paragraph? A. Remaining unchanged. B. Become a publisher. C. Live a sustainable life. D. Read books out of curiosity. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. Eco-friendly ways to store books. B. Resource-saving publishing changes. C. A creative and cooperative publisher. D. An innovative solution to deforestation. D When you see robotic lawnmowers’ blades (割草机的叶片) moving fast, you are expecting a more beautiful and tidier lawn in front of your eyes. But sadly, sometimes you can see injured or even dead hedgehogs (刺猬). What a horrible scene! Sophie Lund Rasmussen, a member of the Wildlife Conservation Research Unit at the University of Oxford, carried out hedgehog crash tests to see if robotic lawnmowers were safe and found the animal was often endangered by the blades because the technology couldn’t detect it. The sensors and cameras are typically too weak to detect hedgehogs hidden in the grass. The automatic computer-controlled lawnmowers are more dangerous to hedgehogs than human-powered machines because a person would likely discern the animal and stop. Rasmussen hopes her tests will be known by designers to ensure robotic lawnmowers are hedgehog-safe. “This will eventually allow for a labeling system guiding the consumers into buying hedgehog-friendly robotic lawnmowers, and therefore contribute to the conservation of this declining and beloved species,” she said. Rasmussen’s finding suggests that these deadly machines need better sensors to spot the animal and change the direction of blades to reduce harm. She added, “The next step is definitely also to apply advanced technology such as camera recognition, which will eventually allow the robotic lawnmowers to detect hedgehogs at a distance, and avoid them.” Rasmussen tested 19 different types of robotic lawnmowers which are available to buy and found some models were safer for small hedgehogs than others. However, all of these lawnmowers had to physically interact with hedgehogs to detect them before they reacted. Her wish for future machines was that they could detect hedgehogs at a distance and change direction. “For now, the best advice is to check the lawn for any hedgehog before starting the robotic lawnmower or to only let it run during the day as this reduces the risk of encounters with hedgehogs, which are active primarily at night,” Rasmussen said. 12. What is paragraph 1 mainly intended to show? A. Robotic lawnmowers have gained popularity. B. The number of hedgehogs is declining quickly. C. It’s very challenging to maintain a beautiful lawn. D. Robotic lawnmowers are dangerous to hedgehogs. 13 What does the underlined word “discern” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Spot. B. Support. C. hide. D. Protect. 14 Rasmussen hopes current robotic lawnmowers can be _________. A. sold at a more reasonable price B. improved with high technology C. redesigned by some animal lovers D. changed into human-powered machines 15. What is Rasmussen’s suggestion on using robotic lawnmowers? A. checking their blades first. B. Following them all the time. C. Training them with hedgehogs. D. Avoiding using them at night. 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。 Doomscrolling is when you spend a lot of time online consuming negative news.

He was crazy about basketball more than anything else in the world. He would spend hours every day practicing his dribbling (运球), shooting and passing. He dreamed of one day winning games on a team. Owen’s town had a small basketball court that was often empty. Owen would go there every day after school to practice. One day, as he was shooting hoops (投篮), he heard a voice behind him, “Hey, kid! You’re pretty good!” Owen turned around to see a tall man with a friendly smile. The man introduced himself as Coach Johnson and asked Owen if he wanted to join his basketball team. The team was made up of kids from all over the town, and they practiced every day after school. Owen was overjoyed because he had never played on a team before. He wanted to start and win games. Owen quickly became the star player of the team. However, the team never won a game. “I had trained so hard and performed excellently, but we were always losing! Jack should have run much faster towards me and Kris should have passed the ball to me!” Owen kept complaining to the coach. The complaint seemed understandable! Owen was admired by his teammates because he was fast and had incredible shots. However, Johnson knew Owen lacked something important. He told Owen to learn to play with his teammates as a team instead of just focusing on himself. Owen didn’t quite understand that at first and insisted he just needed to practice harder to win games. However, disaster struck. Owen injured his ankle one day and had to sit out for several weeks, which let him fall into anxiety. He felt his dream was slipping away. During his recovery at home, Owen refused to see anyone on the team, except his coach. Johnson handed Owen a phone downloaded with some videos about the best basketball teams and some cards from Owen’s teammates. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Owen couldn’t wait to watch those videos. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After recovering, Owen returned to his team as a changed player. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
