The Mighty Ducks (1992) It’s never too early to show your kids a sports movie. You probably have already known the plot of this one: A coach teaches the worst youth team in the league the power of teamwork. What makes this movie different is that the team expect just as much from their coach as he does of them, and give him severe criticism when he doesn’t come through. Where to stream: Disney+, Digital rental Cats Don’t Dance (1997) Those who have seen it absolutely love it for the songs penned by Randy Newman, animated choreography(编舞) developed by the late, great Gene Kelly, and a fun story about a cat named Danny who dreams of breaking into Hollywood. Where to stream: Tubi, The Roku Channel, Digital rental Fly Away Home (1996) Before they were a couple in Noah Baumbach’s The Squid and the Whale, Jeff Daniels and Anna Paquin play a father and daughter who build a plane so they can lead a group of geese on their first migration(迁徙) south for the winter. Assuming your children aren’t into mid-2000s art house films, the pairing of these two actors won’t affect their enjoyment of this heartwarming, visually impressive film. Where to stream: MGM+, Digital rental Babe: Pig in the City (1998) Director George Miller builds a tough but dreamy city that tests the optimism of its hero, a pi g trying to save his farm from closedown. While this may not mean much to your kids, the film is a favorite of musician Tom Waits, making it much cooler than your typical kid’s movie. Where to stream: Starz, Digital rental 1. Where can people watch The Mighty Ducks? A. Starz, Digital rental. B. Disney+, Digital rental. C. MGM+, Digital rental. D. Tubi, The Roku Channel, Digital rental. 2. Who starred in Fly Away Home? A. Gene Kelly and Anna Paquin. B. Jeff Daniels and Noah Baumbach. C. Anna Paquin and Jeff Daniels. D. Randy Newman and George Miller. 3. What do the four films have in common? A. They were shown in the same period. B. They share the same theme. C. They show the importance of teamwork. D. They are favorites of musicians. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了你可以和你的孩子一起看的四部电影。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。由文章The Mighty Ducks (1992)标题下“Where to stream: Disney+, Digital rental(在哪里收看：迪士尼+，数字租赁)”可知，《The Mighty Ducks 》可以在迪士尼+，数字租赁平台观看。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。由文章Fly Away Home  (1996)标题下“Jeff Daniels and Anna Paquin play a father and daughter who build a plane so they can lead a group of geese on their first migration( 迁徙) south for the winter. (杰夫·丹尼尔斯(Jeff Daniels)和安娜·帕奎因(Anna Paquin)饰演一对父女，他们建造了一架飞机，这样他们就可以带领一群鹅首次飞往南方过冬。)”可知，《Fly Away Home》的主演是Jeff Daniels和Anna Paquin。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。由文章中四部电影的上映年份分别是1992年、1997年、1996年和1998年可知，这四部电影都在同一时期上映。故选A。 B When my brother died in an accident, I was only 4 years old. But I still felt the big change in my mom’s attitude toward safety. Overnight, I couldn’t walk home from school by myself, even though everyone I knew already did. I couldn’t go to summer camps, because what if something happened to me? As I grew up, the list got longer and longer. I know my mom was worried about me because after my brother died, I was her only child. As a result, I became a natural worrier. I worried about things like car accidents, earthquakes, losing my wallet — disasters big and small, real and imagined. The funny part is that you’d never know it by looking at my current life, because I have been constantly forcing myself to do things that frighten or worry me shortly after my mom’s death. Since then I have developed a rule for myself: If anything scares me, then I will force myself to do it at least once. As a result, I’ve done lots of things that my mom would have worried about: I’ve ridden a motorcycle and I’ve traveled — a lot. In fact. I am studying bird flu as a scientist. There’s something else I don’t usually talk about, but it’s a cornerstone in my belief: When I was 14, I made a decision that I would either live out the rest of my life trying to be “safe” or I could be brave enough to live out an exciting and, yes, sometimes dangerous life. Even though I inherited(继承) my mother’s cautious nature, I’ve also come to believe that the more often I do things that scare me, the more I realize that I can do a lot more than I originally thought I could do. Believing that has made my world a less scary place. 4. What does the author think of her mother? A. Courageous. B. Overprotective. C. Hardworking. D. Cruel. 5. How did the rules affect the author before her mother’s death? A. They led to much more freedom for her. B. They helped her to avoid a lot of accidents. C. They made her feel more and more worried. D. They encouraged her to be more adventurous. 6. What did the author do to overcome her fear? A. She tried to do those seemingly scary things. B. She stayed away from the unnecessary risks. C. She forced herself to focus on her current job. D. She persuaded her mother to stop protecting her. 7. What does the author most likely want to tell us? A. It’s funny for parents to worry about the kids. B. Fear can be a good thing to some degree. C. We should be careful in a dangerous world. D. We can achieve more if we can control our fear. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，文章讲述了作者曾经因为母亲的过度担心，成了一个忧虑者。于是在母亲去世后，作者开始尝试强迫自己去尝试自己害怕的事，并且逐渐克服了恐惧。 4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Overnight, I couldn’t walk home from school by myself, even though everyone I knew already did. I couldn’t go to summer camps, because what if something happened to me? As I grew up, the list got longer and longer.(夜间，我不能自己从学校走回家，尽管我认识的每个人都这样做了。我不能去夏令营，因为万一我出了事怎么办？随着我的成长，这个清单变得越来越长)”及下文作者的变化可推断，她认为她妈妈有点过度保护。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“As a result, I became a natural worrier. I worried about things like car accidents, earthquakes, losing my wallet — disasters big and small, real and imagined.(结果，我成了一个天生的忧虑者。我担心诸如车祸、地震、丢了钱包之类的事情——或大或小、真实或想象的灾难)”可知，那些规矩让她感到越来越焦虑。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The funny part is that you’d never know it by looking at my current life, because I have been constantly forcing myself to do things that frighten or worry me shortly after my mom’s death.(有趣的是，看看我现在的生活，你永远不会知道这一点，因为在我妈妈去世后不久，我一直在强迫自己做一些让我害怕或担心的事情)”可知，作者克服恐惧的方法是强迫自己去尝试自己害怕的事。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Even though I inherited(继承) my mother’s cautious nature, I’ve also come to believe that the more often I do things that scare me, the more I realize that I can do a lot more than I originally thought I could do. Believing that has made my world a less scary place.(尽管我继承了母亲谨慎的性格，但我也开始相信，我越经常做那些让我害怕的事情，我就越意识到我能做的比我原来认为的要多得多。相信这一点让我的世界变得不那么可怕)”可推断，作者认为如果能克服恐惧，我们就可以更多地释放自己的潜能。故选D。 C It is not generally realized, for example, that a tale written in China in the ninth century is the world’s oldest known version of the story of Cinderella. The next earliest was not published until seven hundred years later — in Lyons, France, in 1544. In addition, 350 other stories that are related in some way to Cinderella have been collected from every continent. Those Cinderella stories fall into two main groups. In one, the focus is on the ball, while comparatively little attention is paid to the supernatural force that helps her. This is the type most familiar to us and most commonly found in western Europe. In those found in eastern Europe, much attention is paid to the helpful animals. But the Chinese version contains both. Old though it is, the Chinese version shows definite signs of having been based on still earlier — and now lost — versions. The incident of the ball, for example, is linked with the rest of the story so unnaturally that it seems that the author has borrowed this incident from some still earlier version, but without clearly understanding its significance. It will also be remembered that the king who married the girl came from a country called T’o-huan. Though this country is not identified in the story, we know from Chinese historical writings of that time that there was a small country by that name located near a region called T’o-ho-lo. And T’o-ho-lo can be identified with certainty as close to the modern city of Bangkok in Thailand. This makes it probable that the Chinese story of Cinderella did not originate in China, but was taken there from Southeast Asia, perhaps by the Arabs who went as traders to Canton in large numbers. This story shows that the same simple virtues which are regarded as basic in the West have been emphasized for centuries in China and other parts of Asia. It is but one example of the way a story or an idea can travel all over the world. 8. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph? A. A story usually has different origins. B. Chinese literature has a very long history. C. Different countries may have similar stories. D. French literature was influenced by the Chinese. 9. What is unique about the Chinese version of Cinderella? A. The plot develops more naturally. B. It is centered on those helpful animals. C. Relatively little attention is paid to the ball. D. It stresses both the ball and the supernatural force. 10. Which evidence shows that the Chinese version originates in Southeast Asia? A. The original writer’s identity. B. Some related historical records. C. A newly found version of the story. D. A well-known kingdom in the story. 11. How is the text mainly developed? A. By analyzing an example. B. By reviewing studies. C. By telling a very old story. D. By conducting surveys. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。主要论述的是作者认为人类的基本道德品质是相近的，文化、思想也是相互交流的。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“It is not generally realized, for example, that a tale written in China in the ninth century is the world’s oldest known version of the story of Cinderella. The next earliest was not published until seven hundred years later— in Lyons, France, in 1544. In addition, 350 other stories that are related in some way to Cinderella have been collected from every continent.(例如，人们普遍没有意识到，九世纪写在中国的一个故事是世界上已知的最古老的灰姑娘的故事版本。下一个最早的版本直到七百年后的1544年才在法国里昂出版。此外，还从世界各地收集了350个与灰姑娘有关的故事。)”可知，根据第一段的实例以及数据可知，不同的国家可能有相似的故事。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Those Cinderella stories fall into two main groups. In one, the focus is on the ball, while comparatively little attention is paid to the supernatural force that helps her. This is the type most familiar to us and most commonly found in western Europe. In those found in eastern Europe, much attention is paid to the helpful animals. But the Chinese version contains both.(灰姑娘的故事主要分为两类。其中一个故事的焦点是舞会，而帮助她的超自然力量相对较少受到关注。这是我们最熟悉的类型，在西欧最常见。在东欧发现的那些动物中，人们非常关注有用的动物。但中文版本两者都包含。)”可知，中国版的灰姑娘的中国版的灰姑娘是它同时强调舞会和超自然力量。故选D项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Though this country is not identified in the story, we know from Chinese historical writings of that time that there was a small country by that name located near a region called T’o-ho-lo. And T’o-ho-lo can be identified with certainty as close to the modern city of Bangkok in Thailand. This makes it probable that the Chinese story of Cinderella did not originate in China, but was taken there from Southeast Asia, perhaps by the Arabs who went as traders to Canton in large numbers.(虽然这个国家在故事中没有被确定，但我们从当时的中国历史著作中知道，在一个叫做“T'o-ho-lo”的地区附近有一个叫这个名字的小国。而T'o-ho-lo可以确定为接近泰国的现代城市曼谷。这使得中国的灰姑娘故事很可能不是起源于中国，而是由东南亚带到中国的，也许是由大量前往广州经商的阿拉伯人带到中国的。)”可知，一些相关的历史记录证据表明中国版本起源于东南亚。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，特别是第一段中“It is not generally realized, for example, that a tale written in China in the ninth century is the world’s oldest known version of the story of Cinderella.(例如，人们普遍没有意识到，九世纪写在中国的一个故事是世界上已知的最古老的灰姑娘的故事版本。)”以及最后一段中“It is but one example of the way a story or an idea can travel all over the world.(这只是一个故事或想法可以传遍世界的例子。)”可推知，作者希望通过灰姑娘这个例子来证明其观点：人类的基本道德品质是相近的，思想文化也是相互融通的。故选A项。 D When rains fell in the Atacama Desert for the first time in centuries, scientists had expected to see life blossom (繁盛). Instead, almost everything died. The shocking discovery was published in the journal Scientific Reports. Found in northern Chile, the dry core of the Atacama Desert hadn’t experienced rain for the past 500 years. But three years ago, rain started to fall once again in the region. A changing climate in the Pacific Ocean resulted in the desert’s dry core experiencing rain on March 25 and August 9, 2015, and it rained again on June 7, 2017. There was no evidence of rain in this region for the past 500 years, although climate models suggested it should occur every century. The international team of scientists who studied the region were hoping for deserts springing to life. “Instead, we learned the contrary, as we found that rain in the dry core of the Atacama Desert caused a massive extinction of most native microbe (微生物) species there, ”said study co-author Alberto Fairén. Before the rain fell, this region of the Atacama had been home to 16 different ancient microbe species. But after the rain fell, just two to four species were still found to be surviving in the resultant pool of water. The cause of the extinction event, believed to have been about 85 percent of life in the soil, was caused by the sudden influx of water. In particular, these microbes were adapted to survive in extreme dryness. They were unable to adapt quickly enough to the unexpected rainfall. But it’s not all bad news. The team also found nitrates (硝酸盐) in the Atacama Desert that were indicative of a lengthy dry period, while also acting as food for the microbes. And we’ve recently found nitrates on Mars, which could be indicating a similar process there. 12. How did the scientists find their discovery according to Alberto Fairén? A. Satisfying. B. Astonishing. C. Amusing. D. Comforting. 13. What does the underlined word“influx”in paragraph 4 mean? A. Shortage. B. Need. C. Arrival. D. Test. 14. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. The resultant pool of water was a wildlife habitat. B. The team plans to turn the desert into a green land. C Scientists have observed lots of microbes on Mars. D. The finding brought some hope to relevant studies. 15. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. Unexpected Rainfalls Hit a Desert Badly B. A Science Magazine Increased in Popularity C. Scientists Unlocked the Secret behind Drought D. A Breakthrough Occurred in Space Exploration 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。Atacama Desert沙漠的核心区域500年间从未下雨，近年却因气候变化迎来降雨。科学家们研究发现，雨水并未让这片不毛之地焕发生机，相反，给那里的微生物带来了灭顶之灾。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“When rains fell in the Atacama Desert for the first time in centuries, scientists had expected to see life blossom (繁盛). Instead, almost everything died. The shocking discovery was published in the journal Scientific Reports. (当阿塔卡马沙漠几个世纪以来第一次下雨时，科学家们曾期望看到生命开花。相反，几乎所有东西都死了。这一令人震惊的发现发表在《科学报告》杂志上。)”以及第三段“The international team of scientists who studied the region were hoping for deserts springing to life. “Instead, we learned the contrary, as we found that rain in the dry core of the Atacama Desert caused a massive extinction of most native microbe (微生物) species there, ”said study co-author Alberto Fairén.(研究该地区的国际科学家团队希望沙漠能够出现。“相反，我们了解到相反的情况，因为我们发现阿塔卡马沙漠干燥核心的雨水导致了那里大多数本地微生物物种的大规模灭绝，”该研究的合著者阿尔贝托·费尔卡曼说。)”可知，科学家们对他们的发现感到很吃惊。故选B。 【13题详解】 词义猜测题。根据画线词前“But after the rain fell, just two to four species were still found to be surviving in the resultant pool of water. (但在降雨之后，人们发现只有两到四个物种在由此形成的水池中幸存下来。)”及画线词后“In particular, these microbes were adapted to survive in extreme dryness. They were unable to adapt quickly enough to the unexpected rainfall.(特别是，这些微生物适应了在极端干燥的环境中生存。他们无法足够快地适应突如其来的降雨)”可推断，灭绝事件的原因是是由突然涌入的水引起的，画线词与Arrival的意思最接近。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“And we’ve recently found nitrates on Mars, which could be indicating a similar process there.(我们最近在火星上发现了硝酸盐，这可能表明火星上也有类似的过程。)”可推断，在这片沙漠里发现了硝酸盐，为相关科研带来了些许希望。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“When rains fell in the Atacama Desert for the first time in centuries, scientists had expected to see life blossom (繁盛). Instead, almost everything died. The shocking discovery was published in the journal Scientific Reports. (当阿塔卡马沙漠几个世纪以来第一次下雨时，科学家们曾期望看到生命开花。相反，几乎所有东西都死了。这一令人震惊的发现发表在《科学报告》杂志上。)”可知，本文主要介绍Atacama Desert沙漠的核心区域500年间从未下雨，近年突如其来的雨水并未让这片不毛之地焕发生机，反而给那里的微生物带来了灭顶之灾。故选A。 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。 Play can help us adapt to difficult circumstances, and boost our spirits. ____16____. “Don’t let money be the thing that decides whether or not you will have fun,” says personal finance writer Nicole Dow. Here are some ideas from Dow on how to have fun without spending a lot of money. Go on a penny date. Take a coin and assign left and right to each side of the coin. Then, go to a new part of town or a new city and flip (抛掷)the coin at every intersection. ____17____. Dow says going on a penny date can help you discover new stores, buildings and public spaces in your neighborhood. ____18____. Dow likes to host themed food nights with her friends. Last year, she hosted a dinner to taste Kit Kats from around the world (Canadian Kit Kats won). “Or you could go to your local grocery store and try a bunch of different brands of the same flavor chip,” says Dow. Tap (发掘)into your imagination. When Dow was a school teacher, she would take her kids to a mini-zoo, and hear the children saying things like, “Oh, I wonder what that fish is thinking.” ____19____. Next time you’re people watching, make up backstories for the individuals you encounter. Swap (交换)houses. Perhaps you know someone who lives in a different neighborhood or city you want to visit. Then, swap houses with them. “You can get a feel of what they like. If they have a pool, you can dive into it to cool off,” says Dow. “____20____.” A. Try a food challenge B. Let the coin take you on an adventure C. But play and fun can sometimes be expensive D. Give a truly international flavor to the occasion E. That’s a low-cost alternative to taking a vacation F. She felt so embarrassed to speak in front of these strangers G. This inspired her to make up fun storylines for the people around her 【答案】16. C 17. B 18. A 19. G 20. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了以经济实惠的方法实现外出游玩的目的。 【16题详解】 上文“Play can help us adapt to difficult circumstances, and boost our spirits.(玩乐能帮助我们适应困境，振奋精神)” 说明了玩乐的积极作用，下文“Don’t let money be the thing that decides whether or not you will have fun(不要让金钱决定你能否获得乐趣)”则提到了金钱与玩乐的关系，由此可知上下文之间存在转折，需要一个过渡句引出“玩乐可能涉及金钱”的话题。C项“但玩乐有时会很昂贵。”符合语境，承上启下。故选C。 【17题详解】 上文“Take a coin and assign left and right to each side of the coin. Then, go to a new part of town or a new city and flip (抛掷) the coin at every intersection.(拿一枚硬币，给硬币的两面分别指定 “左” 和 “右” 的方向。然后去城镇的新区域或新城市，在每个十字路口抛硬币)”说明了“硬币约会”的具体操作 —— 根据硬币决定方向。B项“让硬币带你开启一场冒险。”符合语境，选项中的the coin与上文提到的flip the coin呼应，take you on an adventure则承接上文 “去新区域 / 新城市” 的行为。故选B。 【18题详解】 空处为本段主旨句。下文“Dow likes to host themed food nights with her friends. Last year, she hosted a dinner to taste Kit Kats from around the world (Canadian Kit Kats won). “Or you could go to your local grocery store and try a bunch of different brands of the same flavor chip,” says Dow.(Dow喜欢和朋友们一起举办主题美食之夜。去年，她举办了一场晚宴，品尝来自世界各地的Kit Kats（加拿大Kit Kats获胜）。“或者你可以去当地的杂货店，尝试一堆不同品牌的相同风味的薯片，”道说)”围绕与食物相关的活动展开。A项“尝试一场美食挑战。”符合题意，总领全段。故选A。 【19题详解】 上文“When Dow was a school teacher, she would take her kids to a mini-zoo, and hear the children saying things like, “Oh, I wonder what that fish is thinking.”(当Dow还是一名教师时，她会带孩子们去迷你动物园，听到孩子们说诸如“哦，我想知道那条鱼在想什么”之类的话)”描述了孩子对动物的好奇想象，下文“Next time you’re people watching, make up backstories for the individuals you encounter.(下次观察路人时，为你遇到的人编一些背景故事)”则提到为路人编故事，上下文需体现“孩子的想象启发道”的逻辑。G项“这启发她为周围的人编有趣的故事线。”符合语境，承上启下。故选G。 【20题详解】 上文“Swap (交换) houses. Perhaps you know someone who lives in a different neighborhood or city you want to visit. Then, swap houses with them. “You can get a feel of what they like. If they have a pool, you can dive into it to cool off,”(交换房屋。也许你认识某个住在你想去的其他社区或城市的人，那就和他们交换房屋。“你能感受到他们的喜好。如果他们有泳池，你可以跳进去纳凉”)”介绍了交换房屋的好处 —— 体验不同生活、享受便利设施。E项“这是度假的一种低成本替代方式。”符合题意，选项中的this指代上文的swap houses，low-cost alternative to taking a vacation既点明了交换房屋的属性（替代度假），又呼应了文章“低成本玩乐”的核心主题，总结了交换房屋的价值。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。 This year, I started going to college.

There, partially hidden beneath a parked car was a bundle (捆) of cash. My heart skipped a beat as I bent down to pick it up. “Wow!” Mike cried. “That’s a lot of money. What should we do with it?” I held the money carefully, aware that someone must be eagerly searching for it. “We need to find the owner,” I replied without hesitation. “Think about how worried the owner must be. It may be for the hospital expenses or something urgent.” Mike nodded in agreement, “But how? There are hundreds of people who come through this parking lot every day.” Just then, we noticed a security guard making his rounds. “Let’s ask him if anyone reported losing money,” I suggested, We approached the guard, whose name tag (身份牌) read “Officer James.” “Good evening, sir,” I said politely. “We just found some money under a car, and we’re hoping to return it to its rightful owner.” Officer James looked impressed by our honesty. “Actually, a woman came to the security office about twenty minutes ago. She was really anxious about losing her money. Let me call my coworker to confirm the amount she reported.” When we waited, Mike whispered, “You know, Jack, we could have just kept it. Nobody would have known it.” I shook my head. “But we have known it, Mike. That wouldn’t have felt right.” A few minutes later, Officer James returned with a middle-aged woman, whose name we later knew was Mrs. Parker. She was fighting back tears as she described exactly how much money she had lost and where she thought she might have dropped it. “Oh, thanks a lot!” Mrs. Parker said when we showed her the money. 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。 “You have no idea what this means to me,” Mrs. Parker continued. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Politely declining the reward, we happily went home. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】“You have no idea what this means to me,” Mrs. Parker continued. “This is my rent money for the month. I was so scared and I didn’t know what I would have done if I had lost it. How honest you two are. I know I couldn’t thank you too much.” Her words were filled with gratitude. “It’s OK”, Mrs. Parker, “I reassured her gently, ”We’re just glad that we could help. Mrs. Parker then reached into her purse and pulled out some money, insisted on giving it to us as a small reward. Politely declining the reward, we happily went home. On our way home, I felt a deep sense of satisfaction that had nothing to do with money. Our decision to be honest had not only helped Mrs. Parker but also taught us something valuable. How pleased we felt that we had made a difference to Mrs. Parker’s life, which felt incredibly rewarding. Sometimes the best rewards aren’t the ones you can hold in your hands, but the ones that warm your heart and strengthen your spirit. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者和迈克在购物中心停车场意外发现一捆现金后，决定寻找并归还失主的故事。他们意识到这笔钱对失主来说可能非常重要，因此毫不犹豫地决定寻找失主。在遇到保安奥菲斯·詹姆斯后，他们得知有一位女士正在焦急地寻找丢失的钱。通过保安的帮助，他们最终找到了失主帕克夫人，并将钱归还给了她。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“‘你根本不知道这对我有多重要，’帕克夫人继续说道。”可知，第一段可描写帕克夫人解释原因并表达感谢，想要给作者他们报酬。 ②由第二段首句内容“我们礼貌地拒绝了酬谢，然后高高兴兴地回家了。”可知，第二段可描写作者的感受以及经过这件事得到的教训。 2.续写线索：解释原因——表达感谢——给报酬答谢——拒绝报酬——感到满足——得到教训 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①坚持：insist on/stick to ②帮助：help/assist ③加强：strengthen/enhance 情绪类 ①害怕的：scared/frightened ②感谢：thank/appreciate 【点睛】[高分句型1] I was so scared and I didn’t know what I would have done if I had lost it.（运用了what引导宾语从句和虚拟语气） [高分句型2] On our way home, I felt a deep sense of satisfaction that had nothing to do with money.（运用了that引导限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 英语 考生注意： 1.本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2.答题前，考生务必用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔将密封线内项目填写清楚。 3.考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑；非选择题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 4.本卷命题范围：人教版必修第一册~必修第二册。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

The Mighty Ducks (1992) It’s never too early to show your kids a sports movie. You probably have already known the plot of this one: A coach teaches the worst youth team in the league the power of teamwork. What makes this movie different is that the team expect just as much from their coach as he does of them, and give him severe criticism when he doesn’t come through. Where to stream: Disney+, Digital rental Cats Don’t Dance (1997) Those who have seen it absolutely love it for the songs penned by Randy Newman, animated choreography(编舞) developed by the late, great Gene Kelly, and a fun story about a cat named Danny who dreams of breaking into Hollywood. Where to stream: Tubi, The Roku Channel, Digital rental Fly Away Home (1996) Before they were a couple in Noah Baumbach’s The Squid and the Whale, Jeff Daniels and Anna Paquin play a father and daughter who build a plane so they can lead a group of geese on their first migration(迁徙) south for the winter. Assuming your children aren’t into mid-2000s art house films, the pairing of these two actors won’t affect their enjoyment of this heartwarming, visually impressive film. Where to stream: MGM+, Digital rental Babe: Pig in the City (1998) Director George Miller builds a tough but dreamy city that tests the optimism of its hero, a pi g trying to save his farm from closedown. While this may not mean much to your kids, the film is a favorite of musician Tom Waits, making it much cooler than your typical kid’s movie. Where to stream: Starz, Digital rental 1. Where can people watch The Mighty Ducks? A. Starz, Digital rental. B. Disney+, Digital rental. C. MGM+, Digital rental. D. Tubi, The Roku Channel, Digital rental. 2. Who starred in Fly Away Home? A. Gene Kelly and Anna Paquin. B. Jeff Daniels and Noah Baumbach. C. Anna Paquin and Jeff Daniels. D. Randy Newman and George Miller. 3. What do the four films have in common? A. They were shown in the same period. B. They share the same theme. C. They show the importance of teamwork. D. They are favorites of musicians. B When my brother died in an accident, I was only 4 years old. But I still felt the big change in my mom’s attitude toward safety. Overnight, I couldn’t walk home from school by myself, even though everyone I knew already did. I couldn’t go to summer camps, because what if something happened to me? As I grew up, the list got longer and longer. I know my mom was worried about me because after my brother died, I was her only child. As a result, I became a natural worrier. I worried about things like car accidents, earthquakes, losing my wallet — disasters big and small, real and imagined. The funny part is that you’d never know it by looking at my current life, because I have been constantly forcing myself to do things that frighten or worry me shortly after my mom’s death. Since then I have developed a rule for myself: If anything scares me, then I will force myself to do it at least once. As a result, I’ve done lots of things that my mom would have worried about: I’ve ridden a motorcycle and I’ve traveled — a lot. In fact. I am studying bird flu as a scientist. There’s something else I don’t usually talk about, but it’s a cornerstone in my belief: When I was 14, I made a decision that I would either live out the rest of my life trying to be “safe” or I could be brave enough to live out an exciting and, yes, sometimes dangerous life. Even though I inherited(继承) my mother’s cautious nature, I’ve also come to believe that the more often I do things that scare me, the more I realize that I can do a lot more than I originally thought I could do. Believing that has made my world a less scary place. 4. What does the author think of her mother? A. Courageous. B. Overprotective. C. Hardworking. D. Cruel. 5. How did the rules affect the author before her mother’s death? A. They led to much more freedom for her. B. They helped her to avoid a lot of accidents. C. They made her feel more and more worried. D. They encouraged her to be more adventurous. 6. What did the author do to overcome her fear? A. She tried to do those seemingly scary things. B. She stayed away from the unnecessary risks. C. She forced herself to focus on her current job. D. She persuaded her mother to stop protecting her. 7. What does the author most likely want to tell us? A. It’s funny for parents to worry about the kids. B. Fear can be a good thing to some degree. C. We should be careful in a dangerous world. D. We can achieve more if we can control our fear. C It is not generally realized, for example, that a tale written in China in the ninth century is the world’s oldest known version of the story of Cinderella. The next earliest was not published until seven hundred years later — in Lyons, France, in 1544. In addition, 350 other stories that are related in some way to Cinderella have been collected from every continent. Those Cinderella stories fall into two main groups. In one, the focus is on the ball, while comparatively little attention is paid to the supernatural force that helps her. This is the type most familiar to us and most commonly found in western Europe. In those found in eastern Europe, much attention is paid to the helpful animals. But the Chinese version contains both. Old though it is, the Chinese version shows definite signs of having been based on still earlier — and now lost — versions. The incident of the ball, for example, is linked with the rest of the story so unnaturally that it seems that the author has borrowed this incident from some still earlier version, but without clearly understanding its significance. It will also be remembered that the king who married the girl came from a country called T’o-huan. Though this country is not identified in the story, we know from Chinese historical writings of that time that there was a small country by that name located near a region called T’o-ho-lo. And T’o-ho-lo can be identified with certainty as close to the modern city of Bangkok in Thailand. This makes it probable that the Chinese story of Cinderella did not originate in China, but was taken there from Southeast Asia, perhaps by the Arabs who went as traders to Canton in large numbers. This story shows that the same simple virtues which are regarded as basic in the West have been emphasized for centuries in China and other parts of Asia. It is but one example of the way a story or an idea can travel all over the world. 8. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph? A. A story usually has different origins. B. Chinese literature has a very long history. C. Different countries may have similar stories. D. French literature was influenced by the Chinese. 9. What is unique about the Chinese version of Cinderella? A. The plot develops more naturally. B. It is centered on those helpful animals. C. Relatively little attention is paid to the ball. D. It stresses both the ball and the supernatural force. 10. Which evidence shows that the Chinese version originates in Southeast Asia? A. The original writer’s identity. B. Some related historical records. C. A newly found version of the story. D. A well-known kingdom in the story. 11. How is the text mainly developed? A. By analyzing an example. B. By reviewing studies. C By telling a very old story. D. By conducting surveys. D When rains fell in the Atacama Desert for the first time in centuries, scientists had expected to see life blossom (繁盛). Instead, almost everything died. The shocking discovery was published in the journal Scientific Reports. Found in northern Chile, the dry core of the Atacama Desert hadn’t experienced rain for the past 500 years. But three years ago, rain started to fall once again in the region. A changing climate in the Pacific Ocean resulted in the desert’s dry core experiencing rain on March 25 and August 9, 2015, and it rained again on June 7, 2017. There was no evidence of rain in this region for the past 500 years, although climate models suggested it should occur every century. The international team of scientists who studied the region were hoping for deserts springing to life. “Instead, we learned the contrary, as we found that rain in the dry core of the Atacama Desert caused a massive extinction of most native microbe (微生物) species there, ”said study co-author Alberto Fairén. Before the rain fell, this region of the Atacama had been home to 16 different ancient microbe species. But after the rain fell, just two to four species were still found to be surviving in the resultant pool of water. The cause of the extinction event, believed to have been about 85 percent of life in the soil, was caused by the sudden influx of water. In particular, these microbes were adapted to survive in extreme dryness. They were unable to adapt quickly enough to the unexpected rainfall. But it’s not all bad news. The team also found nitrates (硝酸盐) in the Atacama Desert that were indicative of a lengthy dry period, while also acting as food for the microbes. And we’ve recently found nitrates on Mars, which could be indicating a similar process there. 12. How did the scientists find their discovery according to Alberto Fairén? A. Satisfying. B. Astonishing. C. Amusing. D. Comforting. 13. What does the underlined word“influx”in paragraph 4 mean? A. Shortage. B. Need. C. Arrival. D. Test. 14. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. The resultant pool of water was a wildlife habitat. B. The team plans to turn the desert into a green land. C Scientists have observed lots of microbes on Mars. D. The finding brought some hope to relevant studies. 15. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. Unexpected Rainfalls Hit a Desert Badly B. A Science Magazine Increased in Popularity C. Scientists Unlocked the Secret behind Drought D. A Breakthrough Occurred in Space Exploration 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。 Play can help us adapt to difficult circumstances, and boost our spirits. ____16____. “Don’t let money be the thing that decides whether or not you will have fun,” says personal finance writer Nicole Dow. Here are some ideas from Dow on how to have fun without spending a lot of money. Go on a penny date. Take a coin and assign left and right to each side of the coin. Then, go to a new part of town or a new city and flip (抛掷)the coin at every intersection. ____17____.

There, partially hidden beneath a parked car was a bundle (捆) of cash. My heart skipped a beat as I bent down to pick it up. “Wow!” Mike cried. “That’s a lot of money. What should we do with it?” I held the money carefully, aware that someone must be eagerly searching for it. “We need to find the owner,” I replied without hesitation. “Think about how worried the owner must be. It may be for the hospital expenses or something urgent.” Mike nodded in agreement, “But how? There are hundreds of people who come through this parking lot every day.” Just then, we noticed a security guard making his rounds. “Let’s ask him if anyone reported losing money,” I suggested, We approached the guard, whose name tag (身份牌) read “Officer James.” “Good evening, sir,” I said politely. “We just found some money under a car, and we’re hoping to return it to its rightful owner.” Officer James looked impressed by our honesty. “Actually, a woman came to the security office about twenty minutes ago. She was really anxious about losing her money. Let me call my coworker to confirm the amount she reported.” When we waited, Mike whispered, “You know, Jack, we could have just kept it. Nobody would have known it.” I shook my head. “But we have known it, Mike. That wouldn’t have felt right.” A few minutes later, Officer James returned with a middle-aged woman, whose name we later knew was Mrs. Parker. She was fighting back tears as she described exactly how much money she had lost and where she thought she might have dropped it. “Oh, thanks a lot!” Mrs. Parker said when we showed her the money. 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。 “You have no idea what this means to me” Mrs. Parker continued. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Politely declining the reward we happily went home. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
