It’s never too early to start considering the future. Now, here are some good choices for you! Retail (零售) Sales Retail offers plenty of opportunity for teenagers who are looking for a job.

(这类工作的时薪从10美元到15美元不等，具体取决于你要承担的职责。)”可知，做零售商至少2小时可以赚20美元，故选D。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Babysitter中“This is a great choice for teens who wish to make a career in teaching, child care, social work or any other field that makes use of social skills or requires interaction with kids. (对于那些希望从事教学、儿童保育、社会工作或任何其他需要社交技能或需要与孩子互动的领域的青少年来说，这是一个很好的选择。)”想成为教师的青少年可以选择Babysitter，故选B。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。结合全文内容，根据第一段“The first summer job is often a signal that you’re on your way to adulthood, and it’s also a method for earning money to pay for what you dream of. It’s never too early to start considering the future. Now, here are some good choices for you! (第一份暑期工作通常是你走向成年的信号，也是你赚钱实现梦想的一种方式。开始考虑未来永远不会嫌早。现在，这里有一些不错的选择给你！)”可知，这篇文章主要是写给想在暑假找份兼职工作的青少年。故选C。 B Benjamin West, the father of American painting, showed his talent for art when he was only six years of age. But he did not know about brushes (笔刷) before a visitor told him he needed one. In those days, a brush was made from camel’s hair. There were no camels nearby. Benjamin decided that cat hair would work instead. He cut some fur from the family cat to make a brush. The brush did not last long. Soon Benjamin needed more fur. Before long, the cat began to look ragged (蓬乱). His father said that the cat must be sick. Benjamin was forced to admit what he had been doing. The cat’s lot was about to improve. That year, one of Benjamin’s cousins, Mr. Pennington, came to visit. He was impressed with Benjamin’s drawings. When he went home, he sent Benjamin a box of paint and some brushes. He also sent six engravings (版画) by an artist. These were the first pictures and first real paint and brushes Benjamin had ever seen. In 1747, when Benjamin was nine years old, Mr. Pennington returned for another visit. He was amazed at what Benjamin had done with his gift. He asked Benjamin’s parents if he might take the boy back to Philadelphia for a visit. In the city, Mr. Pennington gave Benjamin materials for creating oil paintings. The boy began a landscape painting. William Williams, a well-known painter, came to see him work. Williams was impressed with Benjamin and gave him two classic books on painting to take home. The books were long and dull. Benjamin could read only a little, having been a poor student. But he later said, “Those two books were my companions by day, and under my pillow at night.” While it is likely that he understood very little of the books, they were his introduction to classical paintings. The nine-year-old boy decided then that he would be an artist. 24. How did Benjamin get the brushes at first? A. He cut a camel’s hair. B. He cut some fur from a cat. C. He asked his father to buy them. D. An artist offered a hand to him. 25. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 3 suggest? A. The cat would be closely watched. B. The cat would get some medical care. C. Benjamin would leave his home shortly. D. Benjamin would have real brushes soon. 26. How did Williams’ two books help Benjamin? A. They helped him master the use of paints. B. They helped him get to know other painters. C. They helped him make up his mind to become a painter. D. They helped him learn to appreciate landscape paintings. 27 What is the passage mainly about? A. Benjamin’s visit to Philadelphia. B. Williams’ influence on Benjamin. C. The beginning of Benjamin’s life as an artist. D. The friendship between Benjamin and Pennington. 【答案】24. B 25. D 26. C 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了美国绘画之父本杰明·韦斯特（Benjamin West）在童年时期展现出艺术天赋，并在他人帮助下开启艺术生涯的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“But he did not know about brushes (笔刷) before a visitor told him he needed one. In those days, a brush was made from camel’s hair. There were no camels nearby. Benjamin decided that cat hair would work instead. He cut some fur from the family cat to make a brush.( 但在一位访客告诉他需要画笔之前，他压根不知道画笔这东西。那时候，画笔是用骆驼毛做的，可本杰明家附近根本没有骆驼。于是他想到，用猫毛或许也能行，便从家里的猫身上剪下些毛，做了一支画笔。)”可知，本杰明最初通过剪家里猫的毛来制作画笔。故选B项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The cat’s lot was about to improve. That year, one of Benjamin’s cousins, Mr. Pennington, came to visit. He was impressed with Benjamin’s drawings. When he went home, he sent Benjamin a box of paint and some brushes. (这只猫的处境很快就要好转了。那一年，本杰明的一位表亲 —— 彭宁顿先生前来拜访。本杰明的画作给彭宁顿先生留下了深刻印象。他回家后，便给本杰明寄去了一盒颜料和几支画笔。)”可知，“The cat’s lot was about to improve.”（猫的处境将好转）的原因是彭宁顿先生后来会寄来真正的画笔，本杰明无需再剪猫毛。由此可推断，该句暗示“本杰明很快会拥有真正的画笔”。故选D项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“But he later said, “Those two books were my companions by day, and under my pillow at night.” While it is likely that he understood very little of the books, they were his introduction to classical paintings. The nine-year-old boy decided then that he would be an artist. (但他后来回忆道：“那两本书白天是我的陪伴，晚上就放在我的枕头底下”。虽然他可能对书中内容理解甚少，但这些书为他打开了古典绘画的大门。这个九岁的男孩在那时下定决心，要成为一名艺术家。)”可知，威廉姆斯送的两本书让本杰明接触到古典绘画，并促使他下定决心成为艺术家。故选C项。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章以时间为线索：本杰明6岁时用猫毛制作画笔展现艺术天赋，表亲彭宁顿先生寄来颜料和画笔、版画，为他提供专业工具，9岁时在彭宁顿先生帮助下接触油画，受威廉姆斯启发并立志成为艺术家。核心围绕“本杰明艺术生涯的开端”展开。故选C项。 C A new study from the University of Cambridge shows how small environmental changes can have great effects on human behavior. Even the rise of skateboarding (滑板运动) is the result of the deep relationships between humans and the climate. “To make connections between climate and society, we often look into the past, but as we go further back, the evidence gets thinner,” said lead author Professor Büntgen. “We wanted to find a more modern example where we had lots of data to look at. That is how we began to study skateboarding.” As was recorded, the prosperity (繁荣) of post-war America resulted in the building of more than 150,000 swimming pools in California during the 1960s. However, California suffered the greatest drought (旱灾) in the 1970s. The government’s water agencies responded to this crisis. Their response was ordering strict cuts in water use. One of these strict rules was a ban (禁令) that stopped people from filling up their backyard swimming pools. As a result, many of these pools were empty, making them ideal playgrounds for freestyle skateboarders. Naturally, skateboarding exploded in popularity. Büntgen said, “California used to be the center of US surf culture. The popularity and influence of surf culture was very important to the rise of skateboarding, which is why it could have only happened in California. You could have had the same drought, the same pools in somewhere like Phoenix, but since Phoenix doesn’t have a rich surf culture, professional skateboarding couldn’t have started there.” With the rise of professional skateboarding came the industrial production of polyurethane (聚氨酯) wheels, which allowed skaters to make faster turns at higher speeds than they could with earlier steel (钢铁) wheels. All these factors made skateboarding more popular. Nowadays, it is a multibillion-dollar industry. The example of California best shows that local climate change can have major effects on human society. 28. What is the finding of the new study? A. Climate changes affect human behavior. B. Popular games benefit greatly from droughts. C. Culture is related to an industry’s development. D. The environment changes people’s relationships. 29. Which is true about the swimming pools in California? A. They went through ups and downs. B. They were in great popularity in the 1970s. C. Skateboarding playgrounds replaced all of them. D. Building the swimming pools led to the great drought. 30. According to Büntgen, what is a special factor that helps skateboarding grow in California? A. Drought. B. Location. C. Swimming pools. D. Surf culture. 31. From which section of a newspaper is this text most probably taken? A. Society. B. Health. C. Education. D. Business 【答案】28. A 29. A 30. D 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过讲述加利福尼亚州的例子：加州冲浪文化的兴起，表明局部气候变化会对人类社会产生重大影响。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“A new study from the University of Cambridge shows how small environmental changes can have great effects on human behavior.( 剑桥大学的一项新研究表明，微小的环境变化会对人类行为产生巨大影响。)”可知，新的研究表明天气变化影响人类的行为。故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“As was recorded, the prosperity (繁荣) of post-war America resulted in the building of more than 150,000 swimming pools in California during the 1960s. (据记载，战后美国的繁荣导致加州在20世纪60年代建造了超过15万个游泳池。)”和“As a result, many of these pools were empty, making them ideal playgrounds for freestyle skateboarders. (因此，许多游泳池都是空的，这使它们成为自由式滑板爱好者的理想游乐场。)”可知，加州的游泳池经历了起起落落。故选A。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段的“California used to be the center of US surf culture. The popularity and influence of surf culture was very important to the rise of skateboarding, which is why it could have only happened in California. (加州曾经是美国冲浪文化的中心。冲浪文化的流行和影响对滑板运动的兴起非常重要，这就是为什么它只能在加州发生的原因。)”可知，加州的冲浪文化是加州推广滑板运动的一个特殊因素。故选D。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段的“A new study from the University of Cambridge shows how small environmental changes can have great effects on human behavior. (剑桥大学的一项新研究表明，微小的环境变化会对人类行为产生巨大影响。)”并纵观全文可知，本文通过加利福尼亚州冲浪文化的兴起，表明局部气候变化会对人类社会产生重大影响。因此推断文章选自社会板块。故选A。 D Going from middle school to high school can be difficult, as students are faced with new academic (学业的) and social challenges. Before the first day of high school, there are things every soon-to-be high school freshman and their families should know. People who have a fixed (固定的) mindset believe that they are born to be great or weak. On the other hand, people that have a growth mindset believe that their greatness or weakness is because of their own actions. I totally agree that students should have a growth mindset. I don’t expect any student to move from just passing a subject to an A+. It’s going to take time and focused effort; just keep working on it. Parents should prepare students to fight the battle “on the pillow (枕头)” and “in the kitchen”. When I say “pillow” I mean sleep. Not having enough sleep can have some surprising effects on students, including improper behavior, anxiety and poor grades. The second weapon (武器) is eating healthy and balanced meals. Studies show that students who eat nutritious meals and who exercise 60 minutes a day remain more attentive during the school day and experience improved academic achievement and grades. This last “secret” weapon is not to have over-scheduled time. Make sure students know how to set realistic plans and how to say no to tasks and activities that aren’t important to them. A lot of students know each other from primary and middle school. They are in their “comfort zones”, feeling they have a sense of control over and expectation of their relationships. But with the first real day of high school coming, that will all change. The reason I encourage high school freshmen to step out of their comfort zones, though often scary, is that comfort zones get boring and there are many kinds of people to get to know. Let’s encourage them to get involved, have fun and play. 32. Which of the following represents (代表) a fixed mindset? A. I’m at the starting point of my ability. B. My mother is not good at chemistry either. C. I should start studying a little earlier next time. D. It’s okay if I fail; at least I’ve learned something. 33. What might the author encourage parents to do according to the passage? A. To prepare healthy meals for their kids. B. To praise their kids when they do well in school. C. To take their kids to visit their grandparents often. D. To buy soft pillows for their kids to have a good rest. 34. What is the third weapon mainly about? A. Enjoying good health. B. Being able to say no. C. Planning schedules properly. D. Balancing schoolwork and play. 35. Which one is the best title of the passage? A. Making Friends in High School. B. Academic Challenges in High School. C. Differences between Middle School and High School. D. Preparations for High School: What You Need to Know. 【答案】32. B 33. A 34. C 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要为每个即将进入高中的新生和他们的家人介绍了一些应该知道的事情。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“People who have a fixed (固定的) mindset believe that they are born to be great or weak. (拥有固定思维倾向的人认为他们生来就是厉害或弱小的。)”可知，固定思维倾向是把人的能力归为与生俱来的。比较选项可知，“我妈妈也不擅长化学”是把自己不擅长化学归结为遗传自母亲，属于固定思维倾向。故选B。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The second weapon (武器) is eating healthy and balanced meals. Studies show that students who eat nutritious meals and who exercise 60 minutes a day remain more attentive during the school day and experience improved academic achievement and grades. (第二个武器是健康均衡的饮食。研究表明，每天吃营养食物和锻炼60分钟的学生在上学期间注意力更集中，学习成就和成绩也有所提高。)”可知，作者认为健康均衡的饮食很重要，可以帮助孩子们改善学习表现。因此，作者会鼓励家长为他们的孩子准备健康的食物。故选A。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“This last “secret” weapon is not to have over-scheduled time. Make sure students know how to set realistic plans and how to say no to tasks and activities that aren’t important to them. (最后这一“秘密”武器就是不要过度安排时间。要确保学生们懂得如何制定切实可行的计划，以及如何拒绝那些对他们而言不重要的任务和活动。)”可知，第三种武器主要涉及合理安排时间表。故选C。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，并根据第一段“Going from middle school to high school can be difficult, as students are faced with new academic (学业的) and social challenges. Before the first day of high school, there are things every soon-to-be high school freshman and their families should know. (从初中升入高中可能会很困难，因为学生们会面临新的学业和社交方面的挑战。在高中开学的第一天之前，即将升入高中的每一位新生及其家人都应该了解一些事情。)”可知，文章主要为每个即将进入高中的新生和他们的家人介绍了一些应该知道的事情。D选项“高中入学准备：你需要了解的内容”最符合文章标题。故选D。 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。 What to Do When You Fail in Life Most people are afraid of failure. The truth is that everyone, including all successful people, has ever failed time after time and will fail again. ___36___ Learn from it No matter how hard you try to avoid it, failure will happen. Having a “no fear” attitude towards failure does not mean you should expect to fail, but accept it when it happens. ___37___ Failure makes us rethink, reconsider, and find new ways and strategies to achieve our goals. Through failure, we will get to know ourselves better. Stop fearing it ___38___ Instead, you need to push yourself to go to the limits (极限). When you have a no-fear attitude and keep on trying despite the former failures, your determination, ability, talent and creativity can be made the best use of. Let go of your overconfidence You will not learn from the mistakes you have made, be open to other people’s views or see the situations clearly when your overconfidence is in charge. ___39___ We need to listen to and learn from other people if we want to see what needs to change in order to succeed. Improve your mood and cheer up again We all feel down after having failed, which is natural, human, and unavoidable. But how we respond to our failures is what decides our road to success. One way of improving your mood is listing the things you are grateful for at the moment, which will strengthen your positive emotions (情绪). ___40___ A. There is value in failure. B. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself. C. The ordinary people experience failure, too. D. It always blocks (遮挡) your eyes and mind. E. To reach your personal best, you don’t need to fear failure. F. So don’t be afraid of failure, which is part of everyone’s road to success. G. Reading stories of successful people is another way that can cheer us up. 【答案】36. F 37. A 38. E 39. D 40. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了面对失败我们应该做什么。 【36题详解】 根据前文“Most people are afraid of failure. The truth is that everyone, including all successful people, has ever failed time after time and will fail again. (大多数人都害怕失败。事实是，每个人，包括所有成功人士，都曾经失败过一次又一次，而且还会再次失败。)”和小标题“Learn from it (从中学习)”可知，此处是指不要害怕失败，所以选项F“So don’t be afraid of failure, which is part of everyone’s road to success. (所以不要害怕失败，这是每个人通往成功之路的一部分。)”切合文意。故选F。 【37题详解】 根据后文“Failure makes us rethink, reconsider, and find new ways and strategies to achieve our goals. Through failure, we will get to know ourselves better. (失败让我们重新思考，重新考虑，寻找新的方法和策略来实现我们的目标。通过失败，我们会更好地了解自己。)”可知，此处是介绍失败的价值，所以选项A“There is value in failure. (失败是有价值的。)”切合文意。故选A。 【38题详解】 根据小标题“Stop fearing it (停止恐惧它)”可知，此处是指不要恐惧失败，所以选项E“To reach your personal best, you don’t need to fear failure. (为了达到你的最佳状态，你不必害怕失败。)”说明了不要害怕失败，切合文意。故选E。 【39题详解】 根据前文“You will not learn from the mistakes you have made, be open to other people’s views or see the situations clearly when your overconfidence is in charge. (当你的过度自信占据主导地位时，你不会从你所犯的错误中吸取教训，不会对别人的观点持开放态度，也不会清楚地看到情况。)”可知，过度自信会使人不能从错误中吸取教训，不能对别人的观点持开放态度，也不能清楚地看到情况，D选项“It always blocks (遮挡) your eyes and mind. (它总是挡住你的眼睛和思想。)”中的It指代的是前面的overconfidence，说明了过度自信的坏处，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选D。 【40题详解】 根据前文“One way of improving your mood is listing the things you are grateful for at the moment, which will strengthen your positive emotions (情绪). (改善情绪的一种方法是列出你现在感激的事情，这将增强你的积极情绪。)”可知，空格处是指改善情绪的另一种方法，所以选项G“Reading stories of successful people is another way that can cheer us up. (阅读成功人士的故事是另一种帮助我们振作起来的方式。)”说明的是改善情绪的另一种方法，切合文意。故选G。 第三部分：语言知识运用（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，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 My daughter and I were driving from Los Angeles to Dallas.

This moment she knew she was well ____65____ (prepare) for living a rich and happy high school life. 【答案】56. challenging 57. a 58. curiosity 59. What 60. kept 61. it 62. Looking 63. to explore 64. in 65. prepared 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要介绍了王媛高中第一天的学校经历。 【56题详解】 考查形容词。句意：第一天，她发现第一节数学课相当有挑战性。句中“was”为系动词，后接形容词作表语，所给词“challenge”为动词 / 名词，需转换为形容词“challenging”（有挑战性的）。故填challenging。 【57题详解】 考查不定冠词。句意：但幸运的是，她有一位友好且有耐心的数学老师。句中“maths teacher”为单数可数名词，且首次提及，表 “泛指一位老师”，“friendly”以辅音音素开头，需用不定冠词“a”修饰。故填a。 【58题详解】 考查名词。句意：他告诉学生们，觉得高中数学难是正常的，但只要专注、有好奇心且努力，他们的数学成绩就会提高。句中“concentration”和“effort”为并列宾语，所给词“curious”为形容词，需转换为名词“curiosity”（不可数），与前两者构成 并列关系。故填curiosity。 【59题详解】 考查主语从句。句意：老师在实验中向他们展示的东西非常令人惊讶。“ the teacher showed them in the experiment” 为主语从句；从句中“showed”后缺宾语，需用引导词“what”指代“老师展示的内容”。故填What。 【60题详解】 考查一般过去时。句意：然而，她旁边的同学一直问她不相关的问题。全文讲述王媛 “高中第一天” 的经历，整体时态为一般过去时；故空处需用动词过去式。故填kept。 61题详解】 考查形式宾语 it 的用法。句意：这使得她很难专注于实验。句中“to focus on the experiment”为真正宾语，空处需用形式宾语“it”指代真正宾语，构成“make it + 形容词 + to do sth”的固定句式。故填it。 【62题详解】 考查现在分词。句意：回顾这一天的经历，王媛不再感到尴尬和害怕了。句中“Wang Yuan didn’t feel...” 为主句，“______ back on her experience”为状语，逻辑主语“Wang Yuan”与“look back on”之间为主动关系，需用现在分词作伴随状语。故填 Looking。 【63题详解】 考查不定式。句意：而且，高中还有很多东西等着她去探索。句中“a lot”为名词性短语，后接定语修饰“待探索的内容”；不定式“to explore”作后置定语，表 “未来将要发生的动作”，符合“高中有很多待探索事物”的语义需求。故填 to explore。 【64题详解】 考查介词。句意：她对将要学习的所有内容都充满好奇，对自己也更有信心了。“have confidence in sb”表示“对某人有信心”。故填 in。 【65题详解】 考查形容词。句意：此刻，她知道自己已经为过一种丰富而快乐的高中生活做好了充分准备。句中“was”为系动词，后接形容词表语，“be prepared for”为固定短语，意为“为…… 做好准备”。故填 prepared。 第四部分：写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 66. 假定你是李华，你的英国好友Peter发来邮件寻求帮助。刚踏入高中校园的他觉得每天时间太紧，无法完成作业，十分苦恼。请你给他回复一封邮件，内容包括： 1.表达安慰； 2.给出建议。 注意：1.词数80左右； 2.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Dear Peter, ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours sincerely, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Peter, I’m sorry to hear that you find it hard to manage your time in high school.

She slowly opened her sleepy eyes and looked at the clock on the bedside table. It was already nine o’clock! Though still sleepy, Jane knew she had to get up because her mother had been working in her office day and night for several days, and she couldn’t expect her younger brother Tom, who was sleeping like a pig, to answer the phone. She quickly put on a coat and dashed into the living room. As she picked up the receiver, on the other end came the warm greeting, “Good morning, my dear!” It was the voice of her father, a seaman who seldom returned home due to his duties, earning money to support the family. On hearing her father’s voice, Jane’s sleepiness disappeared. Born in a not-so-rich family, Jane and Tom felt the stress of life, but they were happy to enjoy the family atmosphere (氛围). At school, they were straight-A students and took part in various after-school activities, earning the pride of their parents. “Good morning, Dad. Why are you calling so early on a weekend?” Jane asked, pretending to be slightly annoyed. “Tom and I have been very nice recently.” “My dear, today is your mother’s birthday. I have ordered a cake online and it will arrive at our doorstep in the late morning. Do remember to take the cake. It is my surprise for your mother.” Upon hearing her father’s words, Jane felt a twinge of embarrassment (尴尬). How could she have forgotten such an important day! While chatting with her father, Jane’s eyes wandered around the room, and she saw a lot of dirty clothes scattered (散落) on the sofa. The floor hadn’t been cleaned for a few days, since her mother had been too busy with work to deal with such housework. Looking at the clock again, Jane realized she still had enough time to prepare a surprise for her mother. “Well, Dad, now I’m going to wake Tom up. We will give Mum a surprise, too!” Jane said and hung up the telephone. Jane hurried to Tom’s room and shared her plan with him. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Happy birthday, Mum!” Jane and Tom shouted when their mother opened the door. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Jane hurried to Tom’s room and shared her plan with him. After listening to Jane, Tom readily accepted her idea. The big cleaning plan began. Jane collected the clothes from the sofa and began to do the laundry. Meanwhile, Tom was busy cleaning the floor back and forth with all his strength, really aware of what tiring work his Mum had at home! One hour later, the cleaning work was finally finished. They even prepared a simple breakfast for Mum. With everything ready for the big moment, they knocked at their mother’s bedroom door excitedly. “Happy birthday, Mum!” Jane and Tom shouted when their mother opened the door. Confused and surprised, Mum stood frozen. When Mum realized what had happened, a warm current rose in her heart. Staring at the clean floor and the washed clothes, she was moved to tears and hugged them tightly. “It is the best birthday gift I have ever had!” Mum said proudly. Around 11 a.m., another surprise — the cake that Dad had ordered — arrived as well. Mum took out her smartphone, took a picture of the three of them eating the cake happily, and sent it to Dad. What an unforgettable birthday for her! 【解析】 【导语】本文以 “母亲生日” 为核心线索展开，讲述了简接到父亲的电话后，发现自己忘记母亲生日，随后与弟弟汤姆一起通过打扫房间、准备惊喜，为母亲庆祝生日的温馨故事，凸显家庭间的关爱与温暖。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句 “简急忙跑到汤姆的房间，和他分享了自己的计划”可知，第一段需围绕 “姐弟俩落实计划” 展开，具体描写两人分工合作，为后续母亲的惊喜做铺垫。 ②由第二段首句 ““妈妈，生日快乐！”当妈妈开门时，简和汤姆喊道。”可知，第二段需聚焦 “母亲的反应”，通过描写母亲从困惑到感动的情绪变化，升华家庭温馨的主题。 2.续写线索： 分享计划→分工打扫（简洗衣 / 汤姆拖地）→准备早餐→唤醒母亲→母亲感动→蛋糕送达→全家共享温馨时刻 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①收集：collect/gather ②洗衣服：do the laundry/do the washing/wash the clothes ③完成：finish/complete 情绪类 ①感动：be moved to tears/feel a warm current in the heart/be deeply touched ②开心地：happily/delightedly 【点睛】[高分句型1]Meanwhile, Tom was busy cleaning the floor back and forth with all his strength, really aware of what tiring work his Mum had at home!（运用由连接词what引导的宾语从句） [高分句型2]When Mum realized what had happened, a warm current rose in her heart.（运用when引导的时间状语从句和what引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $这是高一英语模拟试题听力部分，该部分分为第一第二两节。注意回答听力部分时，请先将答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将你的答案转涂到客观题答题卡上。现在是听力试音时间。Hello, international friends club.

B Benjamin West, the father of American painting, showed his talent for art when he was only six years of age. But he did not know about brushes (笔刷) before a visitor told him he needed one. In those days, a brush was made from camel’s hair. There were no camels nearby. Benjamin decided that cat hair would work instead. He cut some fur from the family cat to make a brush. The brush did not last long. Soon Benjamin needed more fur. Before long, the cat began to look ragged (蓬乱). His father said that the cat must be sick. Benjamin was forced to admit what he had been doing. The cat’s lot was about to improve. That year, one of Benjamin’s cousins, Mr. Pennington, came to visit. He was impressed with Benjamin’s drawings. When he went home, he sent Benjamin a box of paint and some brushes. He also sent six engravings (版画) by an artist. These were the first pictures and first real paint and brushes Benjamin had ever seen. In 1747, when Benjamin was nine years old, Mr. Pennington returned for another visit. He was amazed at what Benjamin had done with his gift. He asked Benjamin’s parents if he might take the boy back to Philadelphia for a visit. In the city, Mr. Pennington gave Benjamin materials for creating oil paintings. The boy began a landscape painting. William Williams, a well-known painter, came to see him work. Williams was impressed with Benjamin and gave him two classic books on painting to take home. The books were long and dull. Benjamin could read only a little, having been a poor student. But he later said, “Those two books were my companions by day, and under my pillow at night.” While it is likely that he understood very little of the books, they were his introduction to classical paintings. The nine-year-old boy decided then that he would be an artist. 24. How did Benjamin get the brushes at first? A. He cut a camel’s hair. B. He cut some fur from a cat. C. He asked his father to buy them. D. An artist offered a hand to him. 25. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 3 suggest? A. The cat would be closely watched. B. The cat would get some medical care. C. Benjamin would leave his home shortly. D. Benjamin would have real brushes soon. 26. How did Williams’ two books help Benjamin? A They helped him master the use of paints. B. They helped him get to know other painters. C. They helped him make up his mind to become a painter. D. They helped him learn to appreciate landscape paintings. 27. What is the passage mainly about? A Benjamin’s visit to Philadelphia. B. Williams’ influence on Benjamin. C. The beginning of Benjamin’s life as an artist. D. The friendship between Benjamin and Pennington. C A new study from the University of Cambridge shows how small environmental changes can have great effects on human behavior. Even the rise of skateboarding (滑板运动) is the result of the deep relationships between humans and the climate. “To make connections between climate and society, we often look into the past, but as we go further back, the evidence gets thinner,” said lead author Professor Büntgen. “We wanted to find a more modern example where we had lots of data to look at. That is how we began to study skateboarding.” As was recorded, the prosperity (繁荣) of post-war America resulted in the building of more than 150,000 swimming pools in California during the 1960s. However, California suffered the greatest drought (旱灾) in the 1970s. The government’s water agencies responded to this crisis. Their response was ordering strict cuts in water use. One of these strict rules was a ban (禁令) that stopped people from filling up their backyard swimming pools. As a result, many of these pools were empty, making them ideal playgrounds for freestyle skateboarders. Naturally, skateboarding exploded in popularity. Büntgen said, “California used to be the center of US surf culture. The popularity and influence of surf culture was very important to the rise of skateboarding, which is why it could have only happened in California. You could have had the same drought, the same pools in somewhere like Phoenix, but since Phoenix doesn’t have a rich surf culture, professional skateboarding couldn’t have started there.” With the rise of professional skateboarding came the industrial production of polyurethane (聚氨酯) wheels, which allowed skaters to make faster turns at higher speeds than they could with earlier steel (钢铁) wheels. All these factors made skateboarding more popular. Nowadays, it is a multibillion-dollar industry. The example of California best shows that local climate change can have major effects on human society. 28. What is the finding of the new study? A. Climate changes affect human behavior. B. Popular games benefit greatly from droughts. C. Culture is related to an industry’s development. D. The environment changes people’s relationships. 29. Which is true about the swimming pools in California? A. They went through ups and downs. B. They were in great popularity in the 1970s. C. Skateboarding playgrounds replaced all of them. D. Building the swimming pools led to the great drought. 30. According to Büntgen, what is a special factor that helps skateboarding grow in California? A. Drought. B. Location. C. Swimming pools. D. Surf culture. 31. From which section of a newspaper is this text most probably taken? A. Society. B. Health. C. Education. D. Business D Going from middle school to high school can be difficult, as students are faced with new academic (学业的) and social challenges. Before the first day of high school, there are things every soon-to-be high school freshman and their families should know. People who have a fixed (固定的) mindset believe that they are born to be great or weak. On the other hand, people that have a growth mindset believe that their greatness or weakness is because of their own actions. I totally agree that students should have a growth mindset. I don’t expect any student to move from just passing a subject to an A+. It’s going to take time and focused effort; just keep working on it. Parents should prepare students to fight the battle “on the pillow (枕头)” and “in the kitchen”. When I say “pillow” I mean sleep. Not having enough sleep can have some surprising effects on students, including improper behavior, anxiety and poor grades. The second weapon (武器) is eating healthy and balanced meals. Studies show that students who eat nutritious meals and who exercise 60 minutes a day remain more attentive during the school day and experience improved academic achievement and grades. This last “secret” weapon is not to have over-scheduled time. Make sure students know how to set realistic plans and how to say no to tasks and activities that aren’t important to them. A lot of students know each other from primary and middle school. They are in their “comfort zones”, feeling they have a sense of control over and expectation of their relationships. But with the first real day of high school coming, that will all change. The reason I encourage high school freshmen to step out of their comfort zones, though often scary, is that comfort zones get boring and there are many kinds of people to get to know. Let’s encourage them to get involved, have fun and play. 32 Which of the following represents (代表) a fixed mindset? A. I’m at the starting point of my ability. B. My mother is not good at chemistry either. C. I should start studying a little earlier next time. D. It’s okay if I fail; at least I’ve learned something. 33. What might the author encourage parents to do according to the passage? A. To prepare healthy meals for their kids. B. To praise their kids when they do well in school. C. To take their kids to visit their grandparents often. D. To buy soft pillows for their kids to have a good rest. 34. What is the third weapon mainly about? A. Enjoying good health. B. Being able to say no. C. Planning schedules properly. D. Balancing schoolwork and play. 35. Which one is the best title of the passage? A. Making Friends in High School. B. Academic Challenges in High School. C. Differences between Middle School and High School. D. Preparations for High School: What You Need to Know. 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。 What to Do When You Fail in Life Most people are afraid of failure.

She slowly opened her sleepy eyes and looked at the clock on the bedside table. It was already nine o’clock! Though still sleepy, Jane knew she had to get up because her mother had been working in her office day and night for several days, and she couldn’t expect her younger brother Tom, who was sleeping like a pig, to answer the phone. She quickly put on a coat and dashed into the living room. As she picked up the receiver, on the other end came the warm greeting, “Good morning, my dear!” It was the voice of her father, a seaman who seldom returned home due to his duties, earning money to support the family. On hearing her father’s voice, Jane’s sleepiness disappeared. Born in a not-so-rich family, Jane and Tom felt the stress of life, but they were happy to enjoy the family atmosphere (氛围). At school, they were straight-A students and took part in various after-school activities, earning the pride of their parents. “Good morning, Dad. Why are you calling so early on a weekend?” Jane asked, pretending to be slightly annoyed. “Tom and I have been very nice recently.” “My dear, today is your mother’s birthday. I have ordered a cake online and it will arrive at our doorstep in the late morning. Do remember to take the cake. It is my surprise for your mother.” Upon hearing her father’s words, Jane felt a twinge of embarrassment (尴尬). How could she have forgotten such an important day! While chatting with her father, Jane’s eyes wandered around the room, and she saw a lot of dirty clothes scattered (散落) on the sofa. The floor hadn’t been cleaned for a few days, since her mother had been too busy with work to deal with such housework. Looking at the clock again, Jane realized she still had enough time to prepare a surprise for her mother. “Well, Dad, now I’m going to wake Tom up. We will give Mum a surprise, too!” Jane said and hung up the telephone. Jane hurried to Tom’s room and shared her plan with him. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Happy birthday, Mum!” Jane and Tom shouted when their mother opened the door. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
