This story of a Plains Indian girl who runs away with a band of wild horses, and eventually becomes one of them, won the Caldecott in 1978. The recognition was well-deserved for its insightful portrayal(描写) of the bond between the human spirit and the wilderness. Hello Lighthouse by Sophie Blackall (For ages 4 to 8) Waves roll by, seasons come and go, keepers tend to their duties, and through it all, the lighthouse stands tall, sending its light out into the darkness, signaling hello to all the ships at sea. The Caldecott winner Sophie Blackall does a significant job showing the timeless nature of lighthouse life—and the change that’s coming. The Undefeated by Kwame Alexander and Kadir Nelson (For ages 6 to 9) One of the most—if not the most—beautiful books on this list. Kadir Nelson’s fancy, photorealistic paintings pair with Kwame Alexander’s powerful words for a tribute(致敬) to decades of Black brilliance, pain and perseverance. “This is one of those texts that really spoke to me; it was beautifully written and I felt it was a really great pairing of words and pictures of an author and an artist,” Nelson said. Harlem by Walter and Christopher (For ages 9 and up) This poem by Walter Dean Myers—a revered elder of children’s literature—celebrates Harlem, where he grew up, full of“ colors loud enough to be heard” and songs first heard in the villages of “Ghana/Mali/Senegal”. His son Christopher’s vivid illustrations, part paint and part collage(拼贴画), don’t talk down to kids, instead pulling them into a lively city. 21. What is the focus of the book The Girl Who Loved Wild Horses? A. The girl’s strong connection with nature. B. The girl’s artistic talent in drawing horses. C. The girl’s expertise in training wild animals. D. The girl’s close relationship with her family. 22. Whose book is recommended for 4-year-old kids? A. Paul Goble’s. B. Sophie Blackall’s. C. Kwa me Alexander and Kadir Nelson’s. D. Walter and Christopher’s. 23. What is special about Harlem? A. It’s a historical account of a famous battle. B. It’s a novel describing life in a quiet village. C. It’s a poem featuring the writer’s hometown. D. It’s a collection of songs from African countries. 【答案】21. A 22. B 23. C 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍了四本适合年轻读者阅读的书籍。这些书籍不仅能够丰富孩子们的想象力，还能启发他们对世界的认知。 21. 细节理解题。根据The Girl Who Loved Wild Horses by Paul Goble部分“The recognition was well-deserved for its insightful portrayal (描写) of the bond between the human spirit and the wilderness.(这一认可是当之无愧的，因为它深刻地描写了人类精神与荒野之间的纽带)”可知，这本书展现了主人公和大自然之间的紧密联系。故选 A。 22. 细节理解题。根据Hello Lighthouse by Sophie Blackall部分“For ages 4 to 8 (适合4至8岁的儿童)”可知，适合4岁孩子阅读的书是Sophie Blackall所著的Hello Lighthouse。故选B。 23. 细节理解题。根据Harlem by Walter and Christopher部分“This poem by Walter Dean Myers—a revered elder of children’s literature—celebrates Harlem, where he grew up, (沃尔特·迪恩·迈尔斯（Walter Dean Myers）是一位受人尊敬的儿童文学前辈，他的这首诗歌颂了他成长的哈莱姆区)”可知，哈莱姆区是作者成长的地方，由此可知，Harlem是一首描写作者家乡的诗歌。故选C。 B In this fast-paced world, quiet moments are often spent staring at a phone screen. For those who have forgotten how to switch off and reconnect with ourselves, Deborah Alma may have just what the doctor ordered. She is the founder of The Poetry Pharmacy(药房), whose aim is to ease worry with words, allowing visitors to book poetry consultations for tailored advice or pick up a quick fix off the shelves. Last year, another Poetry Pharmacy opened its doors inside LUSH on London’s Oxford Street, seeking to bring a little calm to the capital. Even before she had two successful “practices” under her belt, Deborah was keenly aware of the power of poetry. She noticed how it could bring people a positive change. This inspired her to become the “Emergency Poet” traveling the country in a vintage ambulance to offer poetry prescriptions(处方). The 1950s ambulance, which was bought on eBay, carried 200 poems, each with advice like “take this poem with a cup of tea” or “listen to some birdsong”. After about a decade of mobile medicine, Deborah parked up her practice for a permanent location in Shropshire. This became the world’s first walk-in-poetry pharmacy, and-unlike the ambulance-it had central heating. From a cozy coffee corner to an inspiring physical garden, the Pharmacy is described as “a peaceful place to rest and dream”. “What happens in the shops is that people who look at pills are often buying things for others. It’s potentially a little theatre, but that act of giving and thinking about someone else is heartwarming.” The Pharmacy also provides a more personalized service. “We ask about people’s reading habits, how they relax, rather than their problems. It should be a pleasure to answer these questions,” Deborah says. Despite never having done any online marketing, The Poetry Pharmacy has a dedicated following of creative souls, including Mark Constantine, CEO and co-founder of LUSH. We don’t know what the future holds for The Poetry Pharmacy and its founder, but one thing is certain-the next chapter is bound to be a good one! 24. How many poetry pharmacies has Deborah opened? A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four. 25. What can possibly happen in The Poetry Pharmacy? A. Helping phone addict. B. Poetic healing. C. Enjoying theatre performances. D. Discussing poetry writing. 26. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. The shop has gained acceptance. B. The shop needs some marketing. C. Deborah will open a new shop soon. D. Deborah has found some co-founders. 27. Which of the following best describes Deborah? A. Innovative but shallow. B. Traditional but warm. C. Sociable and adventurous. D. Creative and sympathetic. 【答案】24. B 25. B 26. A 27. D 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本篇文章主要讲述了Deborah Alma 创立诗歌药房，用诗歌慰藉人们心灵，其诗歌药房从移动服务发展到固定场所，还获得了不少人的喜爱。 24. 细节理解题。根据第一段“Last year, another Poetry Pharmacy opened its doors inside LUSH on London’s Oxford Street, seeking to bring a little calm to the capital.(去年，另一家诗歌药房在伦敦牛津街的LUSH内开业，试图给首都带来一点平静)”可知，她开了两家药房，故选B。 25. 细节理解题。根据第一段“She is the founder of The Poetry Pharmacy (药房), whose aim is to ease worry with words, allowing visitors to book poetry consultations for tailored advice or pick up a quick fix off the shelves.(她是诗歌药房的创始人，这家公司的目标是用文字来缓解忧虑，游客可以预约诗歌咨询，获得量身定制的建议，或者从书架上买到快速解决方案)”可知，诗歌药房用诗歌缓解人们的忧虑，也就是进行诗意的治愈，故选B。 26. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Despite never having done any online marketing, The Poetry Pharmacy has a dedicated following of creative souls, including Mark Constantine, CEO and co-founder of LUSH.(尽管从未进行过任何在线营销，但The Poetry Pharmacy拥有一批忠实的创意灵魂追随者，其中包括LUSH的首席执行官兼联合创始人马克•康斯坦丁)”可知，诗歌药房获得了认可，有了一批追随者，故选A。 27. 推理判断题。根据第一段“She is the founder of The Poetry Pharmacy (药房), whose aim is to ease worry with words, allowing visitors to book poetry consultations for tailored advice or pick up a quick fix off the shelves.(她是诗歌药房的创始人，这家公司的目标是用文字来缓解忧虑，游客可以预约诗歌咨询，获得量身定制的建议，或者从书架上买到快速解决方案)”可知，Deborah 创立诗歌药房，用独特的方式帮助人们，这体现了她的创新；根据第二段“Even before she had two successful “practices” under her belt, Deborah was keenly aware of the power of poetry. She noticed how it could bring people a positive change.(甚至在她有两次成功的“实践”之前，黛博拉就敏锐地意识到诗歌的力量。她注意到它如何给人们带来积极的变化)”可知，她关注人们的内心，想帮助人们缓解忧虑，这体现了她的同情心。故选D。 C Fantasy literature is fantasy in written form. Historically speaking, the majority of fantasy works have been literature. Since the 1950s, however, a growing part of the fantasy genre(流派) has taken the form of video games, music, painting and the like. It is difficult to define the precise “beginning” of fantasy literature as stories involving magic and terrible monsters have existed since time immemorial. On the whole, the genre, as a distinct type, began to become visible in the Victorian times, in the works of writers such as William Morris, Lord Dunsany and George MacDonald. Some commentators declared that the South African-born, English professor of philology, J. R. R. Tolkien, was influential in the popularisation of the fantasy genre, with his hugely successful publications — The Hobbit, and The Lord of the Rings. Tolkien himself, though, was largely informed by an ancient body of Anglo-Saxon myths — particularly Beowulf — but it was after his works that the genre began to receive the name “fantasy”. J. R. R. Tolkien’s close friend C. S. Lewis, author of The Chronicles of Narnia and an English professor interested in similar themes, was also connected with popularising the commercial success of the fantasy genre. Outstanding authors in the genre who undertook popular fantasy works after Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings phenomenon of the 1950s and 1960s appeared quickly. In recent years, the rate of female authors to male authors has skyrocketed, with female authors surpassing(超过) the volume of the male ones. Fantasy has been distinguished from other forms of literature by its style. The fantasy world requires, like any genre, appropriate language, and that language can vary. In various forms of fairytale fantasy, even the villain’s (坏人的) language would be inappropriate if vulgar(粗俗的). Famous fantasy author Raymond E. Feist considered his genre to be one where “ordinary people” were placed in extraordinary situations, and wrote about what would happen. 28. How many fantasy writers are mentioned in this passage? A. Five. B. Six. C. Seven. D. Eight. 29. Why is it hard to make sure the precise “beginning” of fantasy literature? A. Stories involving magic and terrible monsters have existed since ancient times. B. The fantasy literature appeared in Victorian times. C. It was mixed with other forms of fantasy. D. Since the 1950s the fantasy genre has taken the form of video games, music, painting and the like. 30. What does the underlined word “skyrocketed” in the third paragraph mean? A. To rise rapidly and suddenly. B. To drop rapidly and suddenly. C. To rise slowly and steadily. D. To drop slowly and steadily. 31. What is the passage mainly about? A. The background of fantasy literature. B. Some famous works about fantasy literature. C. The origin and popularity of fantasy literature. D. Some outstanding authors of fantasy literature. 【答案】28. B 29. A 30. A 31. C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了奇幻文学的起源和受欢迎程度，列举了几名奇幻文学作家并介绍了影响较大的作家J. R. R.托尔金及其代表作。 28. 细节理解题。第一段最后一句“On the whole, the genre, as a distinct type, began to become visible in the Victorian times, in the works of writers such as William Morris, Lord Dunsany and George MacDonald.(总的来说，这种体裁作为一种独特的类型，在维多利亚时代开始出现，在William Morris、Lord Dunsany和George MacDonald等作家的作品中。)”提到了三位奇幻文学作家William Morris, Lord Dunsany和George MacDonald；第二段第一句“Some commentators declared that the South African-born, English professor of philology, J. R. R. Tolkien, was influential in the popularisation of the fantasy genre, with his hugely successful publications — The Hobbit, and The Lord of the Rings.(一些评论家宣称，南非出生的英国语言学教授J. R. R. Tolkien对奇幻文学的普及有很大影响，他出版了《霍比特人》和《指环王》等大获成功的作品。)”提到了一位奇幻文学作家J. R. R. Tolkien；第二段末尾“Tolkien’s close friend C. S. Lewis, author of The Chronicles of Narnia and an English professor interested in similar themes, was also connected with popularising the commercial success of the fantasy genre.(Tolkien的好友C. S. Lewis是《纳尼亚传奇》的作者，也是一位对类似题材感兴趣的英语教授，他也为奇幻文学的商业成功做出了贡献。)”提到了C. S. Lewis这位奇幻文学作家；第四段末尾“Famous fantasy author Raymond E.

Feist认为，他的小说类型是把“普通人”置于非同寻常的境地，并描写会发生什么。)”提到了奇幻文学作家Raymond E. Feist。由此可知，文章一共提到六位奇幻文学作家。故选B。 29. 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“It is difficult to define the precise “beginning” of fantasy literature as stories involving magic and terrible monsters have existed since time immemorial.(由于自远古时期起，涉及魔法与恐怖怪兽的故事便已存在，因此很难确切界定奇幻文学的“起源”时刻。)”可知，奇幻文学的确切“开端”很难确定，因为涉及魔法和可怕怪物的故事自古就有。故选A。 30. 词句猜测题。根据画线词后的“with female authors surpassing (超过) the volume of the male ones(女性作家的数量超过了男性作家)”可知，对女性作者的需求量比对男性作者的需求量大，女性作者的数量超过了男性作者；“In recent years, the rate of female authors to male authors has skyrocketed(近年来，女性作家与男性作家的比例skyrocketed)”指近年来女性作家与男性作家的比例剧增，由此可见，画线词skyrocketed意为“剧增，迅速上升”，和“To rise rapidly and suddenly”意思相近。故选A。 31. 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“Fantasy literature is fantasy in written form. Historically speaking, the majority of fantasy works have been literature.(奇幻文学是书面形式的幻想。从历史上讲，大多数奇幻作品都是文学作品。)”可知，本文主要介绍了奇幻文学的起源和受欢迎程度。故选C。 D “Hello. You are you and I am I. We are people, also known as humans. This makes us different from most of the things on Earth.” This fairly straightforward observation is the opening spread of Like, written by Annie Barrows. It establishes a somewhat odd yet matter-of-fact tone with a young boy addressing the reader. Matters get more quizzical or philosophical, if you prefer on the following spread, which carefully thinks about the ways in which people are different from one specific thing on Earth, “We are not at all like tin cans. We are not shaped like tin cans. We cannot hold tomato sauce like tin cans. If you open up our lids, nothing good happens. We are not at all like tin cans.” The target audience will no doubt be amused, as was I, and perhaps reassured. Like next matches people with the swimming pools, “We are a little bit more like a swimming pool than a tin can. We have water and chemicals and dirt inside us. But unlike a swimming pool we don’t have people splashing around inside us.” Mushrooms, we learn, differ from tin cans and swimming pools by being alive, and by growing and reproducing-human traits, too! Mushrooms, however, don’t have mouths and brains. But wait: Hyenas have all that. “They run around really fast, like we do... But hyenas don’t say words. They don’t tell stories. They don’t get embarrassed, even when they’re caught eating something off the ground.” Where to go from there? “Look at all these people,” the text exclaims over the illustration full of people of seemingly every size, shape, color, age and means of mobility. “They are not exactly like us. But they are more like us than they are different.” “I am more like you than I am like most of the things on Earth,” the narrator concludes. “I’m glad. I’d rather be like you than a mushroom”-an appealing and inarguable understanding. 32. The tone of the book Like can best be described as ______. A. Serious and scientific B. Playful and philosophical C. Dramatic and emotional D. Formal and instructional 33. The author compares humans to tin cans and swimming pools primarily to ______. A. Highlight the absurdity of human existence B. Emphasize the biological similarities between humans and objects C. Engage young readers with humorous and relatable contrasts D. Argue that humans are superior to all other things 34. The phrase “the target audience will no doubt be amused”（Paragraph 2）suggests that the book is aimed at ______. A. Children who enjoy playful comparisons B. Adults seeking philosophical insights C. Scientists studying human behavior D. Teenagers interested in biology 35. What is the author’s primary purpose in writing Like? A. To encourage readers to reflect on human uniqueness while finding humor in comparisons B. To scientifically classify the differences between humans and other organisms C. To argue that humans should adopt more traits from animals like hyenas D. To provide a factual guide on the biological characteristics of mushrooms 【答案】32. B 33. C 34. A 35. A 【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议的文学评论。介绍了绘本《像》，它用幽默对比告诉孩子：人类既不同于罐头、泳池、蘑菇或鬣狗，却又彼此极为相似，引导读者欣然接纳“我更像你”的共感。 32. 推理判断题。根据第二段“Matters get more quizzical or philosophical, if you prefer on the following spread (如果你愿意看下面故事的展开，事情会变得更离奇或更哲学)”及“The target audience will no doubt be amused, as was I, and perhaps reassured.(目标读者无疑会觉得好笑，也许还会感到安心)”可知，该书的语气是幽默好玩的，也很有哲学思想。故选B项。 33. 推理判断题。根据第三段“Like next matches people with the swimming pools, ‘We are a little bit more like a swimming pool than a tin can. We have water and chemicals and dirt inside us. But unlike a swimming pool we don’t have people splashing around inside us.’(《像》接着把人和游泳池做比较：‘我们比罐头稍微更像游泳池一点。我们体内有水、化学物质和灰尘。但和游泳池不同，我们没有人在里面扑腾’)”可知，作者把人和罐头或泳池进行对比是为了用幽默和有关联的对比吸引年轻读者。故选C项。 34. 推理判断题。根据第二段“We are not at all like tin cans. We are not shaped like tin cans. We cannot hold tomato sauce like tin cans. If you open up our lids, nothing good happens. We are not at all like tin cans.(我们一点也不像锡罐。我们的形状不像锡罐。我们不能像装罐头一样装番茄酱。如果你打开我们的盖子，不会有什么好事发生。我们一点也不像锡罐)”及“the target audience will no doubt be amused(目标读者无疑会觉得好笑)”可推测，这本书的目标读者应该是喜欢好玩的对比的孩子们。故选A项。 35. 推理判断题。根据第二段“Matters get more quizzical or philosophical, if you prefer on the following spread, which carefully thinks about the ways in which people are different from one specific thing on Earth, ‘We are not at all like tin cans. We are not shaped like tin cans. We cannot hold tomato sauce like tin cans. If you open up our lids, nothing good happens. We are not at all like tin cans.’ The target audience will no doubt be amused, as was I, and perhaps reassured.(如果你喜欢下面这篇文章，事情就会变得更加离奇或哲学化，这篇文章仔细思考了人类与地球上某一特定事物的不同之处，‘我们根本不像锡罐。我们的形状不像锡罐。我们不能像装罐头一样装番茄酱。如果你打开我们的盖子，不会有什么好事发生。我们一点也不像锡罐。’目标受众无疑会像我一样被逗乐，或许还会感到放心)”可知，该绘本的作者想通过这本书让孩子们在好玩又奇怪的对比中思考人类的独特性。故选A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。 Literature is the study of human communication. It deals with great writers, from Shakespeare to Cervantes, and deals with texts. Also, literature offers access to vibrant forms of expression and asks us to embrace new ways of thinking about the world. It shows us how to read critically, even asking why we read and write at all. 36 For a student of Literature, all forms of communication are considered texts and can become the focus of critical inquiry. Rap lyrics, the language of advertisements, our favorite films, diaries, even our constantly updated statuses on social media platforms, all are products of the urge to share ideas and experiences. 37 So to study literature is to open a gateway to understanding complex values and preoccupations of individuals, small communities and even whole societies. 38 And at the turn of the 19th century, writers themselves began to experiment with new ways of looking at the written word. Modern literary criticism was born as Romantics, such as William Wordsworth’s thought to define poetry. A hundred years later, new schools of thought emerged that sought to understand the historical and cultural backgrounds from which literature emerged. Marxist literary critics such as Terry Eagleton argued that literature is not independent of its time and culture, but rather a product of it. 39 From the 1960s, fresh generations of critics were turning their attention away from the creators of texts. These post structuralists looked beyond authorial intent to focus on interpretation. Literary criticism challenges the ways we think about the world and how it should be ordered. 40 A. It helps us understand who we are and how we are. B. Because literature is complex, though, we need to decode it. C. Above all, it explores how we communicate ideas and why. D. And each offers its own insights into the ways that we, as humans, see the world. E. Wordsworth explored the relationship between the poetry and the poet rather than the reader. F. It helps us imagine what it is like to be someone else and to live a better, or simply different life G. Other thinkers focused on identity, looking at the ways in which an author’s sense of self is produced by society’s dominant ideologies(意识形态). 【答案】36. C 37. D 38. B 39. G 40.

Lee, born in 1926, won the Pulitzer Prize for this novel. The story is set in the 1930s American South and follows Scout Finch, a young girl whose father, Atticus, defends a Black man falsely accused of assault.

I wrote a story about a native American girl named White Lily as she and her family prepared to travel to their winter camping grounds. From that one-page short story, I continued writing as I grew older, filling notebook after notebook with tales of fantastic kingdoms, thrilling journeys to the stars, and tales of noble heroes who faced deadly groups of enemies. But sometimes, inspiration would fail me—I’d find myself staring at an empty page, and the words wouldn’t come no matter how hard I tried. Being home educated, my awesome teacher was my mom. She gave me the freedom to explore different forms of writing and practice my skills. And when I hit a brick wall one day, I asked her how on earth to overcome the terrible curse(诅咒) of writer’s block. She had a unique way. “You just need to write a stump(树桩) story!” she declared. “That’s what to do when you get stumped.” “What should it be about?” I asked her, my eyes wide. “Why, a STUMP, of course!” I was puzzled. Why on earth would writing a story about an actual stump help me work out which heroic adventure I should write about next? I stormed out of the room, and grabbed my notebook. Pencil in hand, I was angry as I stared at that teasing, empty page. Rolling my eyes, I eventually gave in. “At least this is easier than writing a long and complex ad venture story,” I thought to myself. And I wrote a very short story about an actual stump in the forest. After writing that boring but inspiring story, I felt better. I had a much clearer idea of what to write. So I began to write a story about a brave prince and his little sister who got into trouble more often than not. 注意：1. 写作词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I kept writing on the wonderful afternoon. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ This experience has taught me a valuable lesson. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: I kept writing on the wonderful afternoon. I finished my story when the sunlight was turning golden and streamed through my windows. I got up and showed my “stump story” as well as the prince story to Mom and forcedly admitted that it had helped a lot. Mom explained that sometimes all that I needed to do was something boring but inspiring. I agreed with her because it helped me see that writing about my hero is a lot more fun than writing about that dumb old stump! This experience has taught me a valuable lesson. Writing doesn’t always have to start with a grand idea or a burst of inspiration. Sometimes, it’s about showing up at the blank page and believing that the act of putting pen to paper will guide you to where you need to go. From that day forward, whenever writer’s block threatens to stall my creative flow, I’ll remember the stump story. It has become a reminder that inspiration isn’t always waiting to strike like lightning.

Lee, born in 1926, won the Pulitzer Prize for this novel. The story is set in the 1930s American South and follows Scout Finch, a young girl whose father, Atticus, defends a Black man falsely accused of assault. Through Scout’s innocent perspective, the novel explores themes of racial injustice and moral growth. I adore this book because it blends deep social issues with warmth and humor. Atticus’s integrity and Scout’s curiosity inspire me to stand for justice and embrace empathy. As Lee wrote, “You never really understand a person until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.” This timeless lesson makes the novel unforgettable. Thank you! 第二节 （满分25分） One possible version: I kept writing on the wonderful afternoon. I finished my story when the sunlight was turning golden and streamed through my windows. I got up and showed my “stump story” as well as the prince story to Mom and forcedly admitted that it had helped a lot. Mom explained that sometimes all that I needed to do was something boring but inspiring. I agreed with her because it helped me see that writing about my hero is a lot more fun than writing about that dumb old stump! This experience has taught me a valuable lesson. Writing doesn’t always have to start with a grand idea or a burst of inspiration. Sometimes, it’s about showing up at the blank page and believing that the act of putting pen to paper will guide you to where you need to go. From that day forward, whenever writer’s block threatens to stall my creative flow, I’ll remember the stump story. It has become a reminder that inspiration isn’t always waiting to strike like lightning. Sometimes, it’s cultivated through the simple act of persisting, even if that means writing about something as ordinary as a tree stump in the woods. And in those moments of perseverance some of the most extraordinary stories are born. 　 ( 2 / 2 )学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ ( ………………○………………外………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… ) ( ………………○………………内………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… ) ( 此卷只装订不密封 ) ( ………………○………………内………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… ………………○………………外………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… … 学校： ______________ 姓名： _____________ 班级： _______________ 考号： ______________________ ) 2025-2026学年高一必修第二册英语单元测试 Unit 4●提升卷 学校:___________班级：___________姓名：___________分数：___________ (时间：120分钟，满分：150分) 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，请先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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.

This story of a Plains Indian girl who runs away with a band of wild horses, and eventually becomes one of them, won the Caldecott in 1978. The recognition was well-deserved for its insightful portrayal(描写) of the bond between the human spirit and the wilderness. Hello Lighthouse by Sophie Blackall (For ages 4 to 8) Waves roll by, seasons come and go, keepers tend to their duties, and through it all, the lighthouse stands tall, sending its light out into the darkness, signaling hello to all the ships at sea. The Caldecott winner Sophie Blackall does a significant job showing the timeless nature of lighthouse life—and the change that’s coming. The Undefeated by Kwame Alexander and Kadir Nelson (For ages 6 to 9) One of the most—if not the most—beautiful books on this list. Kadir Nelson’s fancy, photorealistic paintings pair with Kwame Alexander’s powerful words for a tribute(致敬) to decades of Black brilliance, pain and perseverance. “This is one of those texts that really spoke to me; it was beautifully written and I felt it was a really great pairing of words and pictures of an author and an artist,” Nelson said. Harlem by Walter and Christopher (For ages 9 and up) This poem by Walter Dean Myers—a revered elder of children’s literature—celebrates Harlem, where he grew up, full of“ colors loud enough to be heard” and songs first heard in the villages of “Ghana/Mali/Senegal”. His son Christopher’s vivid illustrations, part paint and part collage(拼贴画), don’t talk down to kids, instead pulling them into a lively city. 21. What is the focus of the book The Girl Who Loved Wild Horses? A. The girl’s strong connection with nature. B. The girl’s artistic talent in drawing horses. C. The girl’s expertise in training wild animals. D. The girl’s close relationship with her family. 22. Whose book is recommended for 4-year-old kids? A. Paul Goble’s. B. Sophie Blackall’s. C. Kwa me Alexander and Kadir Nelson’s. D. Walter and Christopher’s. 23. What is special about Harlem? A. It’s a historical account of a famous battle. B. It’s a novel describing life in a quiet village. C. It’s a poem featuring the writer’s hometown. D. It’s a collection of songs from African countries. B In this fast-paced world, quiet moments are often spent staring at a phone screen. For those who have forgotten how to switch off and reconnect with ourselves, Deborah Alma may have just what the doctor ordered. She is the founder of The Poetry Pharmacy(药房), whose aim is to ease worry with words, allowing visitors to book poetry consultations for tailored advice or pick up a quick fix off the shelves. Last year, another Poetry Pharmacy opened its doors inside LUSH on London’s Oxford Street, seeking to bring a little calm to the capital. Even before she had two successful “practices” under her belt, Deborah was keenly aware of the power of poetry. She noticed how it could bring people a positive change. This inspired her to become the “Emergency Poet” traveling the country in a vintage ambulance to offer poetry prescriptions(处方). The 1950s ambulance, which was bought on eBay, carried 200 poems, each with advice like “take this poem with a cup of tea” or “listen to some birdsong”. After about a decade of mobile medicine, Deborah parked up her practice for a permanent location in Shropshire. This became the world’s first walk-in-poetry pharmacy, and-unlike the ambulance-it had central heating. From a cozy coffee corner to an inspiring physical garden, the Pharmacy is described as “a peaceful place to rest and dream”. “What happens in the shops is that people who look at pills are often buying things for others. It’s potentially a little theatre, but that act of giving and thinking about someone else is heartwarming.” The Pharmacy also provides a more personalized service. “We ask about people’s reading habits, how they relax, rather than their problems. It should be a pleasure to answer these questions,” Deborah says. Despite never having done any online marketing, The Poetry Pharmacy has a dedicated following of creative souls, including Mark Constantine, CEO and co-founder of LUSH. We don’t know what the future holds for The Poetry Pharmacy and its founder, but one thing is certain-the next chapter is bound to be a good one! 24. How many poetry pharmacies has Deborah opened? A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four. 25. What can possibly happen in The Poetry Pharmacy? A. Helping phone addict. B. Poetic healing. C. Enjoying theatre performances. D. Discussing poetry writing. 26. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. The shop has gained acceptance. B. The shop needs some marketing. C. Deborah will open a new shop soon. D. Deborah has found some co-founders. 27. Which of the following best describes Deborah? A. Innovative but shallow. B. Traditional but warm. C. Sociable and adventurous. D. Creative and sympathetic. C Fantasy literature is fantasy in written form. Historically speaking, the majority of fantasy works have been literature. Since the 1950s, however, a growing part of the fantasy genre(流派) has taken the form of video games, music, painting and the like. It is difficult to define the precise “beginning” of fantasy literature as stories involving magic and terrible monsters have existed since time immemorial. On the whole, the genre, as a distinct type, began to become visible in the Victorian times, in the works of writers such as William Morris, Lord Dunsany and George MacDonald. Some commentators declared that the South African-born, English professor of philology, J. R. R. Tolkien, was influential in the popularisation of the fantasy genre, with his hugely successful publications — The Hobbit, and The Lord of the Rings. Tolkien himself, though, was largely informed by an ancient body of Anglo-Saxon myths — particularly Beowulf — but it was after his works that the genre began to receive the name “fantasy”. J. R. R. Tolkien’s close friend C. S. Lewis, author of The Chronicles of Narnia and an English professor interested in similar themes, was also connected with popularising the commercial success of the fantasy genre. Outstanding authors in the genre who undertook popular fantasy works after Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings phenomenon of the 1950s and 1960s appeared quickly. In recent years, the rate of female authors to male authors has skyrocketed, with female authors surpassing(超过) the volume of the male ones. Fantasy has been distinguished from other forms of literature by its style. The fantasy world requires, like any genre, appropriate language, and that language can vary. In various forms of fairytale fantasy, even the villain’s (坏人的) language would be inappropriate if vulgar(粗俗的). Famous fantasy author Raymond E. Feist considered his genre to be one where “ordinary people” were placed in extraordinary situations, and wrote about what would happen. 28. How many fantasy writers are mentioned in this passage? A. Five. B. Six. C. Seven. D. Eight. 29. Why is it hard to make sure the precise “beginning” of fantasy literature? A. Stories involving magic and terrible monsters have existed since ancient times. B. The fantasy literature appeared in Victorian times. C. It was mixed with other forms of fantasy. D. Since the 1950s the fantasy genre has taken the form of video games, music, painting and the like. 30. What does the underlined word “skyrocketed” in the third paragraph mean? A. To rise rapidly and suddenly. B. To drop rapidly and suddenly. C. To rise slowly and steadily. D. To drop slowly and steadily. 31. What is the passage mainly about? A. The background of fantasy literature. B. Some famous works about fantasy literature. C. The origin and popularity of fantasy literature. D. Some outstanding authors of fantasy literature. D “Hello. You are you and I am I. We are people, also known as humans. This makes us different from most of the things on Earth.” This fairly straightforward observation is the opening spread of Like, written by Annie Barrows. It establishes a somewhat odd yet matter-of-fact tone with a young boy addressing the reader. Matters get more quizzical or philosophical, if you prefer on the following spread, which carefully thinks about the ways in which people are different from one specific thing on Earth, “We are not at all like tin cans. We are not shaped like tin cans. We cannot hold tomato sauce like tin cans. If you open up our lids, nothing good happens. We are not at all like tin cans.” The target audience will no doubt be amused, as was I, and perhaps reassured. Like next matches people with the swimming pools, “We are a little bit more like a swimming pool than a tin can. We have water and chemicals and dirt inside us. But unlike a swimming pool we don’t have people splashing around inside us.” Mushrooms, we learn, differ from tin cans and swimming pools by being alive, and by growing and reproducing-human traits, too! Mushrooms, however, don’t have mouths and brains. But wait: Hyenas have all that. “They run around really fast, like we do... But hyenas don’t say words. They don’t tell stories. They don’t get embarrassed, even when they’re caught eating something off the ground.” Where to go from there? “Look at all these people,” the text exclaims over the illustration full of people of seemingly every size, shape, color, age and means of mobility. “They are not exactly like us. But they are more like us than they are different.” “I am more like you than I am like most of the things on Earth,” the narrator concludes. “I’m glad. I’d rather be like you than a mushroom”-an appealing and inarguable understanding. 32. The tone of the book Like can best be described as ______. A. Serious and scientific B. Playful and philosophical C. Dramatic and emotional D. Formal and instructional 33. The author compares humans to tin cans and swimming pools primarily to ______. A. Highlight the absurdity of human existence B. Emphasize the biological similarities between humans and objects C. Engage young readers with humorous and relatable contrasts D. Argue that humans are superior to all other things 34. The phrase “the target audience will no doubt be amused”（Paragraph 2）suggests that the book is aimed at ______. A. Children who enjoy playful comparisons B. Adults seeking philosophical insights C. Scientists studying human behavior D. Teenagers interested in biology 35. What is the author’s primary purpose in writing Like? A. To encourage readers to reflect on human uniqueness while finding humor in comparisons B. To scientifically classify the differences between humans and other organisms C. To argue that humans should adopt more traits from animals like hyenas D. To provide a factual guide on the biological characteristics of mushrooms 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。 Literature is the study of human communication. It deals with great writers, from Shakespeare to Cervantes, and deals with texts. Also, literature offers access to vibrant forms of expression and asks us to embrace new ways of thinking about the world. It shows us how to read critically, even asking why we read and write at all. 36 For a student of Literature, all forms of communication are considered texts and can become the focus of critical inquiry. Rap lyrics, the language of advertisements, our favorite films, diaries, even our constantly updated statuses on social media platforms, all are products of the urge to share ideas and experiences. 37 So to study literature is to open a gateway to understanding complex values and preoccupations of individuals, small communities and even whole societies. 38 And at the turn of the 19th century, writers themselves began to experiment with new ways of looking at the written word. Modern literary criticism was born as Romantics, such as William Wordsworth’s thought to define poetry. A hundred years later, new schools of thought emerged that sought to understand the historical and cultural backgrounds from which literature emerged. Marxist literary critics such as Terry Eagleton argued that literature is not independent of its time and culture, but rather a product of it. 39 From the 1960s, fresh generations of critics were turning their attention away from the creators of texts. These post structuralists looked beyond authorial intent to focus on interpretation. Literary criticism challenges the ways we think about the world and how it should be ordered. 40 A. It helps us understand who we are and how we are. B. Because literature is complex, though, we need to decode it. C. Above all, it explores how we communicate ideas and why. D. And each offers its own insights into the ways that we, as humans, see the world. E. Wordsworth explored the relationship between the poetry and the poet rather than the reader. F. It helps us imagine what it is like to be someone else and to live a better, or simply different life G. Other thinkers focused on identity, looking at the ways in which an author’s sense of self is produced by society’s dominant ideologies(意识形态). 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。 The mark of a good fantasy story is that it inspires those who encounter it.

I wrote a story about a native American girl named White Lily as she and her family prepared to travel to their winter camping grounds. From that one-page short story, I continued writing as I grew older, filling notebook after notebook with tales of fantastic kingdoms, thrilling journeys to the stars, and tales of noble heroes who faced deadly groups of enemies. But sometimes, inspiration would fail me—I’d find myself staring at an empty page, and the words wouldn’t come no matter how hard I tried. Being home educated, my awesome teacher was my mom. She gave me the freedom to explore different forms of writing and practice my skills. And when I hit a brick wall one day, I asked her how on earth to overcome the terrible curse(诅咒) of writer’s block. She had a unique way. “You just need to write a stump(树桩) story!” she declared. “That’s what to do when you get stumped.” “What should it be about?” I asked her, my eyes wide. “Why, a STUMP, of course!” I was puzzled. Why on earth would writing a story about an actual stump help me work out which heroic adventure I should write about next? I stormed out of the room, and grabbed my notebook. Pencil in hand, I was angry as I stared at that teasing, empty page. Rolling my eyes, I eventually gave in. “At least this is easier than writing a long and complex ad venture story,” I thought to myself. And I wrote a very short story about an actual stump in the forest. After writing that boring but inspiring story, I felt better. I had a much clearer idea of what to write. So I began to write a story about a brave prince and his little sister who got into trouble more often than not. 注意：1. 写作词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I kept writing on the wonderful afternoon. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ This experience has taught me a valuable lesson. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试题 第7页（共10页） 试题 第8页（共10页） 试题 第9页（共10页） 试题 第10页（共10页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年高一必修第二册英语单元测试 Unit 4●提升卷 学校:___________班级：___________姓名：___________分数：___________ (时间：120分钟，满分：150分) 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，请先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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.

This story of a Plains Indian girl who runs away with a band of wild horses, and eventually becomes one of them, won the Caldecott in 1978. The recognition was well-deserved for its insightful portrayal(描写) of the bond between the human spirit and the wilderness. Hello Lighthouse by Sophie Blackall (For ages 4 to 8) Waves roll by, seasons come and go, keepers tend to their duties, and through it all, the lighthouse stands tall, sending its light out into the darkness, signaling hello to all the ships at sea. The Caldecott winner Sophie Blackall does a significant job showing the timeless nature of lighthouse life—and the change that’s coming. The Undefeated by Kwame Alexander and Kadir Nelson (For ages 6 to 9) One of the most—if not the most—beautiful books on this list. Kadir Nelson’s fancy, photorealistic paintings pair with Kwame Alexander’s powerful words for a tribute(致敬) to decades of Black brilliance, pain and perseverance. “This is one of those texts that really spoke to me; it was beautifully written and I felt it was a really great pairing of words and pictures of an author and an artist,” Nelson said. Harlem by Walter and Christopher (For ages 9 and up) This poem by Walter Dean Myers—a revered elder of children’s literature—celebrates Harlem, where he grew up, full of“ colors loud enough to be heard” and songs first heard in the villages of “Ghana/Mali/Senegal”. His son Christopher’s vivid illustrations, part paint and part collage(拼贴画), don’t talk down to kids, instead pulling them into a lively city. 21. What is the focus of the book The Girl Who Loved Wild Horses? A. The girl’s strong connection with nature. B. The girl’s artistic talent in drawing horses. C. The girl’s expertise in training wild animals. D. The girl’s close relationship with her family. 22. Whose book is recommended for 4-year-old kids? A. Paul Goble’s. B. Sophie Blackall’s. C. Kwa me Alexander and Kadir Nelson’s. D. Walter and Christopher’s. 23. What is special about Harlem? A. It’s a historical account of a famous battle. B. It’s a novel describing life in a quiet village. C. It’s a poem featuring the writer’s hometown. D. It’s a collection of songs from African countries. B In this fast-paced world, quiet moments are often spent staring at a phone screen. For those who have forgotten how to switch off and reconnect with ourselves, Deborah Alma may have just what the doctor ordered. She is the founder of The Poetry Pharmacy(药房), whose aim is to ease worry with words, allowing visitors to book poetry consultations for tailored advice or pick up a quick fix off the shelves. Last year, another Poetry Pharmacy opened its doors inside LUSH on London’s Oxford Street, seeking to bring a little calm to the capital. Even before she had two successful “practices” under her belt, Deborah was keenly aware of the power of poetry. She noticed how it could bring people a positive change. This inspired her to become the “Emergency Poet” traveling the country in a vintage ambulance to offer poetry prescriptions(处方). The 1950s ambulance, which was bought on eBay, carried 200 poems, each with advice like “take this poem with a cup of tea” or “listen to some birdsong”. After about a decade of mobile medicine, Deborah parked up her practice for a permanent location in Shropshire. This became the world’s first walk-in-poetry pharmacy, and-unlike the ambulance-it had central heating. From a cozy coffee corner to an inspiring physical garden, the Pharmacy is described as “a peaceful place to rest and dream”. “What happens in the shops is that people who look at pills are often buying things for others. It’s potentially a little theatre, but that act of giving and thinking about someone else is heartwarming.” The Pharmacy also provides a more personalized service. “We ask about people’s reading habits, how they relax, rather than their problems. It should be a pleasure to answer these questions,” Deborah says. Despite never having done any online marketing, The Poetry Pharmacy has a dedicated following of creative souls, including Mark Constantine, CEO and co-founder of LUSH. We don’t know what the future holds for The Poetry Pharmacy and its founder, but one thing is certain-the next chapter is bound to be a good one! 24. How many poetry pharmacies has Deborah opened? A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four. 25. What can possibly happen in The Poetry Pharmacy? A. Helping phone addict. B. Poetic healing. C. Enjoying theatre performances. D. Discussing poetry writing. 26. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. The shop has gained acceptance. B. The shop needs some marketing. C. Deborah will open a new shop soon. D. Deborah has found some co-founders. 27. Which of the following best describes Deborah? A. Innovative but shallow. B. Traditional but warm. C. Sociable and adventurous. D. Creative and sympathetic. C Fantasy literature is fantasy in written form. Historically speaking, the majority of fantasy works have been literature. Since the 1950s, however, a growing part of the fantasy genre(流派) has taken the form of video games, music, painting and the like. It is difficult to define the precise “beginning” of fantasy literature as stories involving magic and terrible monsters have existed since time immemorial. On the whole, the genre, as a distinct type, began to become visible in the Victorian times, in the works of writers such as William Morris, Lord Dunsany and George MacDonald. Some commentators declared that the South African-born, English professor of philology, J. R. R. Tolkien, was influential in the popularisation of the fantasy genre, with his hugely successful publications — The Hobbit, and The Lord of the Rings. Tolkien himself, though, was largely informed by an ancient body of Anglo-Saxon myths — particularly Beowulf — but it was after his works that the genre began to receive the name “fantasy”. J. R. R. Tolkien’s close friend C. S. Lewis, author of The Chronicles of Narnia and an English professor interested in similar themes, was also connected with popularising the commercial success of the fantasy genre. Outstanding authors in the genre who undertook popular fantasy works after Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings phenomenon of the 1950s and 1960s appeared quickly. In recent years, the rate of female authors to male authors has skyrocketed, with female authors surpassing(超过) the volume of the male ones. Fantasy has been distinguished from other forms of literature by its style. The fantasy world requires, like any genre, appropriate language, and that language can vary. In various forms of fairytale fantasy, even the villain’s (坏人的) language would be inappropriate if vulgar(粗俗的). Famous fantasy author Raymond E. Feist considered his genre to be one where “ordinary people” were placed in extraordinary situations, and wrote about what would happen. 28. How many fantasy writers are mentioned in this passage? A. Five. B. Six. C. Seven. D. Eight. 29. Why is it hard to make sure the precise “beginning” of fantasy literature? A. Stories involving magic and terrible monsters have existed since ancient times. B. The fantasy literature appeared in Victorian times. C. It was mixed with other forms of fantasy. D. Since the 1950s the fantasy genre has taken the form of video games, music, painting and the like. 30. What does the underlined word “skyrocketed” in the third paragraph mean? A. To rise rapidly and suddenly. B. To drop rapidly and suddenly. C. To rise slowly and steadily. D. To drop slowly and steadily. 31. What is the passage mainly about? A. The background of fantasy literature. B. Some famous works about fantasy literature. C. The origin and popularity of fantasy literature. D. Some outstanding authors of fantasy literature. D “Hello. You are you and I am I. We are people, also known as humans. This makes us different from most of the things on Earth.” This fairly straightforward observation is the opening spread of Like, written by Annie Barrows. It establishes a somewhat odd yet matter-of-fact tone with a young boy addressing the reader. Matters get more quizzical or philosophical, if you prefer on the following spread, which carefully thinks about the ways in which people are different from one specific thing on Earth, “We are not at all like tin cans. We are not shaped like tin cans. We cannot hold tomato sauce like tin cans. If you open up our lids, nothing good happens. We are not at all like tin cans.” The target audience will no doubt be amused, as was I, and perhaps reassured. Like next matches people with the swimming pools, “We are a little bit more like a swimming pool than a tin can. We have water and chemicals and dirt inside us. But unlike a swimming pool we don’t have people splashing around inside us.” Mushrooms, we learn, differ from tin cans and swimming pools by being alive, and by growing and reproducing-human traits, too! Mushrooms, however, don’t have mouths and brains. But wait: Hyenas have all that. “They run around really fast, like we do... But hyenas don’t say words. They don’t tell stories. They don’t get embarrassed, even when they’re caught eating something off the ground.” Where to go from there? “Look at all these people,” the text exclaims over the illustration full of people of seemingly every size, shape, color, age and means of mobility. “They are not exactly like us. But they are more like us than they are different.” “I am more like you than I am like most of the things on Earth,” the narrator concludes. “I’m glad. I’d rather be like you than a mushroom”-an appealing and inarguable understanding. 32. The tone of the book Like can best be described as ______. A. Serious and scientific B. Playful and philosophical C. Dramatic and emotional D. Formal and instructional 33. The author compares humans to tin cans and swimming pools primarily to ______. A. Highlight the absurdity of human existence B. Emphasize the biological similarities between humans and objects C. Engage young readers with humorous and relatable contrasts D. Argue that humans are superior to all other things 34. The phrase “the target audience will no doubt be amused”（Paragraph 2）suggests that the book is aimed at ______. A. Children who enjoy playful comparisons B. Adults seeking philosophical insights C. Scientists studying human behavior D. Teenagers interested in biology 35. What is the author’s primary purpose in writing Like? A. To encourage readers to reflect on human uniqueness while finding humor in comparisons B. To scientifically classify the differences between humans and other organisms C. To argue that humans should adopt more traits from animals like hyenas D. To provide a factual guide on the biological characteristics of mushrooms 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。 Literature is the study of human communication. It deals with great writers, from Shakespeare to Cervantes, and deals with texts. Also, literature offers access to vibrant forms of expression and asks us to embrace new ways of thinking about the world. It shows us how to read critically, even asking why we read and write at all. 36 For a student of Literature, all forms of communication are considered texts and can become the focus of critical inquiry. Rap lyrics, the language of advertisements, our favorite films, diaries, even our constantly updated statuses on social media platforms, all are products of the urge to share ideas and experiences. 37 So to study literature is to open a gateway to understanding complex values and preoccupations of individuals, small communities and even whole societies. 38 And at the turn of the 19th century, writers themselves began to experiment with new ways of looking at the written word. Modern literary criticism was born as Romantics, such as William Wordsworth’s thought to define poetry. A hundred years later, new schools of thought emerged that sought to understand the historical and cultural backgrounds from which literature emerged. Marxist literary critics such as Terry Eagleton argued that literature is not independent of its time and culture, but rather a product of it. 39 From the 1960s, fresh generations of critics were turning their attention away from the creators of texts. These post structuralists looked beyond authorial intent to focus on interpretation. Literary criticism challenges the ways we think about the world and how it should be ordered. 40 A. It helps us understand who we are and how we are. B. Because literature is complex, though, we need to decode it. C. Above all, it explores how we communicate ideas and why. D. And each offers its own insights into the ways that we, as humans, see the world. E. Wordsworth explored the relationship between the poetry and the poet rather than the reader. F. It helps us imagine what it is like to be someone else and to live a better, or simply different life G. Other thinkers focused on identity, looking at the ways in which an author’s sense of self is produced by society’s dominant ideologies(意识形态). 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。 The mark of a good fantasy story is that it inspires those who encounter it.

I wrote a story about a native American girl named White Lily as she and her family prepared to travel to their winter camping grounds. From that one-page short story, I continued writing as I grew older, filling notebook after notebook with tales of fantastic kingdoms, thrilling journeys to the stars, and tales of noble heroes who faced deadly groups of enemies. But sometimes, inspiration would fail me—I’d find myself staring at an empty page, and the words wouldn’t come no matter how hard I tried. Being home educated, my awesome teacher was my mom. She gave me the freedom to explore different forms of writing and practice my skills. And when I hit a brick wall one day, I asked her how on earth to overcome the terrible curse(诅咒) of writer’s block. She had a unique way. “You just need to write a stump(树桩) story!” she declared. “That’s what to do when you get stumped.” “What should it be about?” I asked her, my eyes wide. “Why, a STUMP, of course!” I was puzzled. Why on earth would writing a story about an actual stump help me work out which heroic adventure I should write about next? I stormed out of the room, and grabbed my notebook. Pencil in hand, I was angry as I stared at that teasing, empty page. Rolling my eyes, I eventually gave in. “At least this is easier than writing a long and complex ad venture story,” I thought to myself. And I wrote a very short story about an actual stump in the forest. After writing that boring but inspiring story, I felt better. I had a much clearer idea of what to write. So I began to write a story about a brave prince and his little sister who got into trouble more often than not. 注意：1. 写作词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I kept writing on the wonderful afternoon. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ This experience has taught me a valuable lesson. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ( 10 / 10 )学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
