When it was cold outside, we sat on the couch late at night with the fire blazing in the fireplace. I leaned against her shoulder and watched the lines on her face disappear as she used her voice to imitate the characters in the book. It could have been her time to relax after taking care of children and a husband all day, but instead, she would smile when I slipped out of my bed and came tiptoeing back into the living room after everyone else was asleep. Being the youngest of 11 children, sometimes, it was easy to get lost in the crowd, and I cherished those moments; I could sit close to her and know it was just my time. My mother’s lines would melt away during those moments because she wasn't thinking about cooking, cleaning, disciplining, or paying the bills. When she read Cinderella to me, she would make me feel the transition from ashes to riches because she was using her imagination to feel it, too. When I became a busy parent with my children, I understood my mother’s sacrifices for sharing that late-night story time with me. But, somehow, I think she needed it as much as I did. Years later, I had the opportunity to visit an elementary school recently to read to the first-grade class for National Children’s book week. Besides helping a child develop a love for reading, it is a beautiful way to be close to your children and instills a sense of security they never forget. It’s when the parent focuses on the child without distractions, and a child can feel that. I did. For a moment, we aren’t adults with all the answers and rules, but someone lost in a story with our children. Reading and letting our imagination travel is not just for children, either. When I am at my busiest and feel the most stressed in my life, I find a book and let myself get lost for a while. The difference between reading a book, hanging out on your iPad, or lounging in front of the television to relax is that when you read a book, the story can be what you imagine it to be, and you can learn as fast or as slow as you want to. I like that. 4. What impressed the author most? A. His mother read to him during his childhood. B. Mom warmed him with the fire in the fireplace. C. They sat on the couch enjoying the TV series. D. He imitated the characters in the book. 5. What made the author have contradictory feelings? A. He slipped out of his bed and tiptoed to mum. B. He did everything when others were asleep. C. He was always lost in the crowd. D. He stole mum’s time to relax but enjoyed it. 6. Which is the benefit of reading together according to the passage? A. It helps kids perform well in elementary school. B. It helps kids form a sense of security. C. It helps parents focus on reading without distractions. D. It helps adults find answers and rules. 7. What is the passage mainly aimed at? A. Calling for kids to read more classical literature. B. Promoting the idea of parent-child reading. C. Advertising for National Children’s book week. D. Relieving everyday stress. C What is your ideal garden? Perhaps you’re thinking of beautiful flowers, inviting paths and insects eating the plants. While it sounds odd, insects are integral to holistic gardening, a gardening method that uses native plants to better our local ecosystems. “As we think about garden design, we often start with the color palette, the amount of sunlight and the soil conditions,” says Mark Konlock, Director of Horticulture at Green Bay Botanical Gardens. “The holistic approach takes those concepts and adds another layer to provide value for insects and other parts of the ecosystem.” This begins with choosing plants that have evolved in your local conditions. “With natives, you’re able to reduce the amount of upkeep and have plants that stand extreme conditions, like drought or wet soils,” he explains. “Once those plants are established, you don’t have to water them, fertilize them or use pesticides.” Looking at the big picture, those benefits overflow into the environment. An example is plants that like wet soil; they can be added to a rain garden to filter (过滤) the groundwater and reduce runoff. And when you don’t use pesticides in the garden, you can focus on letting insects grow. Of course, tolerating all kinds of insects takes some effort. “We’re used to avoiding insect damage in our gardens, so it takes a bit of retraining our minds to help us see the value of letting those insects eat the plants,” Mark says. Chewing insects serve as prey for other members of the ecosystem, such as birds, and in many species, those that survive the larval stage develop into pollinators (授粉者) that we like to see. As pollinators continue losing habitat, it becomes more vital to assist them, as they’re responsible for one-third of our food supply. 8. What is an advantage of holistic gardening? A. It can make plants more inviting. B. It can enhance local ecosystems. C. It can popularize gardening. D. It can control the reproduction of insects. 9. What does the underlined word “upkeep” mean in paragraph 3? A. Design. B. Improvement. C. Decoration. D. Maintenance. 10. What do we know about native plants from the text? A. They are beneficial to the environment. B. They are sensitive to various pesticides. C. They can help to filter the drinking water. D. They need more light compared to foreign plants. 11. What message does the last paragraph mainly convey? A. Birds are responsible for our food supply. B. Pollinators face threats of losing their habitats. C. People should avoid insect damage in gardens. D. Insects play an important role in the food chain. D It’s a race against time, as generations of cultural heritage conservators at the Dunhuang Academy make a great effort to protect the artistic charm of the Mogao Caves, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, despite erosion (侵蚀) by sand and wind. The team is dedicated to protecting the 45, 000 square meters of murals (壁画) and more than 2, 400 painted sculptures of the 735 caves of the site, the construction of which spans about a thousand years, from the 4th century to the 14th century. The cultural relics are the product of the cultural exchanges that took place over centuries on the ancient Silk Road. “Our work, repairing murals and painted sculptures, is to better preserve the caves, which promotes the great Dunhuang spirit of inclusiveness (包容) to the world and inspires modern people,” says Su Bomin, director of the Dunhuang Academy. Commonly seen “diseases” affecting the murals include cracking and flaking (剥落), as well as erosion that is caused by changes in temperature and humidity of the caves, and the deposition of salts. To restore (修复) a mural requires an all-rounder. Restorers should know painting, master the skills of a mason (石匠) and have some knowledge of chemistry and physics, to be able to recognize the problems and their corresponding (相应的) causes and deliver a solution. They must also select proper materials and tools, and conduct experiments, before formally carrying out the restoration and evaluating the effect afterward. The restoration (修复) should respect the original work and aim to maintain the status quo (现状) of the murals rather than repainting them. When the restorers find some parts of murals missing or fading away, they never repaint them to create a “perfect” appearance in restoration. “Cultural relics are witnesses of history,” explains Su. “When you pursue the so-called intact (完好无损的) look for artistic reasons, you will lose their key meaning.” Cave conservation is about continuously solving problems. “It needs a long-term research to better preserve the caves, over a much wider time span that goes beyond our lifetimes,” Su says. But at least, they can keep the existing look of the murals for as long as possible. 12. What is the main purpose of paragraph 2? A. To show the popularity of Dunhuang murals. B. To explain the history of the ancient Silk Road. C. To stress the significance of the restoration work. D. To present the ways of protecting cultural heritage. 13. Which of the following best describes the restoration work? A. Creative. B. Well-paid. C. Interesting. D. Demanding. 14. What should restoring murals focus on according to paragraph 4? A. Spotting the faded murals in time. B. Fixing the missing parts of murals. C. Making preservation(保护) of the murals as they are. D. Repainting to perfect the appearance of murals. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Artistic Charm of Mural Paintings. B. The Mural Restoration in the Mogao Caves. C. The Successful Experiment on Cave Conservation. D. The Role of the Dunhuang Spirit in Chinese Culture. 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 is volunteer travel?

This was not the first time that her sister had damaged her schoolwork. So, Neha asked her parents to buy her a study table with drawers where she could safely keep her books. Neha's parents could not afford to buy a brand new table. However, they agreed to buy her a second-hand table. One day after school, Neha's mother took her to a second-hand furniture store, so that she could buy a table of her choice. Neha accidentally opened a drawer in an old black table. And, guess what she found? A small transparent (透明的) plastic bag with some rupee (卢比) notes inside. “Am I the luckiest twelve-year-old? My birthday is coming up soon. With this money, I can buy myself a great many presents ... maybe a bicycle, books, dresses ... and maybe I can even buy things for my family,” Neha thought. She was overcome with greed (贪婪) and quickly pushed the bag to the back of the drawer. She went to her mother and told her that she wanted to buy that black table. Neha's mother told her that the table looked too old and she should look for something better. “No! I like this one,” Neha insisted. She was feeling scared inside but her greed made her lie. Neha could not wait until everybody left after the table was organized in her room. She locked the room and quickly opened the drawer and took out the plastic bag with the rupee notes inside. There was a note in the money bag. It seemed that some old lady was saving the money for her children and grandchildren. Neha began counting the money. She could hear her heart beat louder and louder and finally she counted twelve thousand rupees. But now, with all the money she had, she thought she would have to make up many lies in order to spend that money and would have to hide the money all the time. 注意: 1. 续写词数应为 150 个左右; 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 With her heart still racing, Neha gathered the strength to face up to what she had done. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Together, the three of them went back to the store, where the shop owner offered to help. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 云南省楚雄第一中学2025-2026学年秋季学期10月月考 高二年级英语试卷 试卷分值：150分 考试时间：120分钟 注意事项： 1. 答题前，务必将自己的姓名、考号填写在答题卡规定的位置上。 2. 选出每小题答案后，用2B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框，不能答在本试卷上，否则无效。 3. 答非选择题时，必须使用0.5毫米黑色笔迹的签字笔将答案书写在答题卡规定的位置上。 4. 所有题目必须在答题卡上作答，在试题卷上答题无效。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，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题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.

When it was cold outside, we sat on the couch late at night with the fire blazing in the fireplace. I leaned against her shoulder and watched the lines on her face disappear as she used her voice to imitate the characters in the book. It could have been her time to relax after taking care of children and a husband all day, but instead, she would smile when I slipped out of my bed and came tiptoeing back into the living room after everyone else was asleep. Being the youngest of 11 children, sometimes, it was easy to get lost in the crowd, and I cherished those moments; I could sit close to her and know it was just my time. My mother’s lines would melt away during those moments because she wasn't thinking about cooking, cleaning, disciplining, or paying the bills. When she read Cinderella to me, she would make me feel the transition from ashes to riches because she was using her imagination to feel it, too. When I became a busy parent with my children, I understood my mother’s sacrifices for sharing that late-night story time with me. But, somehow, I think she needed it as much as I did. Years later, I had the opportunity to visit an elementary school recently to read to the first-grade class for National Children’s book week. Besides helping a child develop a love for reading, it is a beautiful way to be close to your children and instills a sense of security they never forget. It’s when the parent focuses on the child without distractions, and a child can feel that. I did. For a moment, we aren’t adults with all the answers and rules, but someone lost in a story with our children. Reading and letting our imagination travel is not just for children, either. When I am at my busiest and feel the most stressed in my life, I find a book and let myself get lost for a while. The difference between reading a book, hanging out on your iPad, or lounging in front of the television to relax is that when you read a book, the story can be what you imagine it to be, and you can learn as fast or as slow as you want to. I like that. 4. What impressed the author most? A. His mother read to him during his childhood. B. Mom warmed him with the fire in the fireplace. C. They sat on the couch enjoying the TV series. D. He imitated the characters in the book. 5. What made the author have contradictory feelings? A. He slipped out of his bed and tiptoed to mum. B. He did everything when others were asleep. C. He was always lost in the crowd. D. He stole mum’s time to relax but enjoyed it. 6. Which is the benefit of reading together according to the passage? A. It helps kids perform well in elementary school. B. It helps kids form a sense of security. C. It helps parents focus on reading without distractions. D. It helps adults find answers and rules. 7. What is the passage mainly aimed at? A. Calling for kids to read more classical literature. B. Promoting the idea of parent-child reading. C. Advertising for National Children’s book week. D. Relieving everyday stress. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者深情回忆童年母亲深夜为自己读书的美好时光，成为父母后理解母亲的付出。借自身经历强调亲子共读对孩子成长意义重大，还能助成年人缓解压力，倡导亲子共读。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“One of the best memories I have from my childhood is the time my mother read to me.(我童年最美好的回忆之一是我母亲给我读书的时候。)”以及后文对母亲给作者读书的各种描述可知，作者童年时母亲给他读书这件事给他留下了最深刻的印象。故选A项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“It could have been her time to relax after taking care of children and a husband all day, but instead, she would smile when I slipped out of my bed and came tiptoeing back into the living room after everyone else was asleep. Being the youngest of 11 children, sometimes, it was easy to get lost in the crowd, and I cherished those moments; I could sit close to her and know it was just my time.(这本来可能是她在照顾孩子和丈夫一整天后放松的时间，但相反，当我从床上溜下来，在其他人都睡着后踮着脚尖回到客厅时，她会微笑。作为11个孩子中最小的一个，有时很容易在人群中被忽视，而我珍惜那些时刻；我可以坐在她身边，知道那是只属于我的时间。)”可知，母亲本可以在那时放松，而作者却占用了母亲的放松时间，但他又很享受和母亲在一起的这些时刻，所以作者有这种矛盾的感觉。故选D项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Besides helping a child develop a love for reading, it is a beautiful way to be close to your children and instills a sense of security they never forget.(除了帮助孩子培养对阅读的热爱之外，这也是一种与孩子亲近的美好方式，并能灌输一种他们永远不会忘记的安全感。)”可知，亲子共读的好处是能帮助孩子形成安全感。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章开篇讲述了作者童年时母亲给他读书的美好回忆，接着阐述了自己成为父母后对亲子共读的理解，以及亲子共读的好处，最后还提到阅读对成年人放松的作用，整体围绕亲子共读展开，目的是推广亲子共读的理念。故选B项。 C What is your ideal garden? Perhaps you’re thinking of beautiful flowers, inviting paths and insects eating the plants. While it sounds odd, insects are integral to holistic gardening, a gardening method that uses native plants to better our local ecosystems. “As we think about garden design, we often start with the color palette, the amount of sunlight and the soil conditions,” says Mark Konlock, Director of Horticulture at Green Bay Botanical Gardens. “The holistic approach takes those concepts and adds another layer to provide value for insects and other parts of the ecosystem.” This begins with choosing plants that have evolved in your local conditions. “With natives, you’re able to reduce the amount of upkeep and have plants that stand extreme conditions, like drought or wet soils,” he explains. “Once those plants are established, you don’t have to water them, fertilize them or use pesticides.” Looking at the big picture, those benefits overflow into the environment. An example is plants that like wet soil; they can be added to a rain garden to filter (过滤) the groundwater and reduce runoff. And when you don’t use pesticides in the garden, you can focus on letting insects grow. Of course, tolerating all kinds of insects takes some effort. “We’re used to avoiding insect damage in our gardens, so it takes a bit of retraining our minds to help us see the value of letting those insects eat the plants,” Mark says. Chewing insects serve as prey for other members of the ecosystem, such as birds, and in many species, those that survive the larval stage develop into pollinators (授粉者) that we like to see. As pollinators continue losing habitat, it becomes more vital to assist them, as they’re responsible for one-third of our food supply. 8. What is an advantage of holistic gardening? A. It can make plants more inviting. B. It can enhance local ecosystems. C. It can popularize gardening. D. It can control the reproduction of insects. 9. What does the underlined word “upkeep” mean in paragraph 3? A. Design. B. Improvement. C. Decoration. D. Maintenance. 10. What do we know about native plants from the text? A. They are beneficial to the environment. B. They are sensitive to various pesticides. C. They can help to filter the drinking water. D. They need more light compared to foreign plants. 11. What message does the last paragraph mainly convey? A. Birds are responsible for our food supply. B. Pollinators face threats of losing their habitats. C. People should avoid insect damage in gardens. D. Insects play an important role in the food chain. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了整体园艺法，包括其理念、优势、对本地植物的选择以及对昆虫的包容态度等。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“While it sounds odd, insects are integral to holistic gardening, a gardening method that uses native plants to better our local ecosystems.(虽然这听起来很奇怪，但昆虫是整体园艺的组成部分，整体园艺是一种利用本地植物来改善我们当地生态系统的园艺方法)”可知，整体园艺法利用本地植物来改善我们当地的生态系统，这是它的优势。故选B项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中““With natives, you’re able to reduce the amount of upkeep and have plants that stand extreme conditions, like drought or wet soils,” he explains. “Once those plants are established, you don’t have to water them, fertilize them or use pesticides.”(他解释说：“种植本地植物，你就可以减少upkeep工作量，有能适应极端环境的植物，比如干旱或潮湿的土壤。一旦这些植物种植好，你就不需要给它们浇水、施肥或使用杀虫剂。”)”可知，本地植物只要种植好，就不需要给它们浇水、施肥或使用杀虫剂，可以减少维护工作量。由此推知，划线词upkeep意为“维护，保养”，与D项“Maintenance”意思相近。故选D项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Once those plants are established, you don’t have to water them, fertilize them or use pesticides.(一旦这些植物种植好，你就不需要给它们浇水、施肥或使用杀虫剂)”和“Looking at the big picture, those benefits overflow into the environment. An example is plants that like wet soil; they can be added to a rain garden to filter (过滤) the groundwater and reduce runoff. And when you don’t use pesticides in the garden, you can focus on letting insects grow.(从宏观视角看，这些益处最终将惠及整个生态环境。以喜湿植物为例，将其引入雨水花园能过滤地下水、减少径流。当你不在花园里使用杀虫剂时，实际上是在为昆虫创造繁衍生息的空间)”可知，本地植物对环境有益。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“Chewing insects serve as prey for other members of the ecosystem, such as birds, and in many species, those that survive the larval stage develop into pollinators (授粉者) that we like to see. As pollinators continue losing habitat, it becomes more vital to assist them, as they’re responsible for one-third of our food supply.(咀嚼类昆虫既是生态系统中鸟类等其他成员的食物来源，其存活过幼虫期的个体更会蜕变为我们乐见的授粉者。随着授粉昆虫栖息地持续减少，助力其生存变得愈发关键——毕竟全球三分之一的食物供应都依赖它们完成)”可知，最后一段主要介绍了昆虫在食物链中扮演着重要的角色。故选D项。 D It’s a race against time, as generations of cultural heritage conservators at the Dunhuang Academy make a great effort to protect the artistic charm of the Mogao Caves, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, despite erosion (侵蚀) by sand and wind. The team is dedicated to protecting the 45 000 square meters of murals (壁画) and more than 2, 400 painted sculptures of the 735 caves of the site, the construction of which spans about a thousand years, from the 4th century to the 14th century. The cultural relics are the product of the cultural exchanges that took place over centuries on the ancient Silk Road. “Our work, repairing murals and painted sculptures, is to better preserve the caves, which promotes the great Dunhuang spirit of inclusiveness (包容) to the world and inspires modern people,” says Su Bomin, director of the Dunhuang Academy. Commonly seen “diseases” affecting the murals include cracking and flaking (剥落), as well as erosion that is caused by changes in temperature and humidity of the caves, and the deposition of salts. To restore (修复) a mural requires an all-rounder. Restorers should know painting, master the skills of a mason (石匠) and have some knowledge of chemistry and physics, to be able to recognize the problems and their corresponding (相应的) causes and deliver a solution. They must also select proper materials and tools, and conduct experiments, before formally carrying out the restoration and evaluating the effect afterward. The restoration (修复) should respect the original work and aim to maintain the status quo (现状) of the murals rather than repainting them. When the restorers find some parts of murals missing or fading away, they never repaint them to create a “perfect” appearance in restoration. “Cultural relics are witnesses of history,” explains Su. “When you pursue the so-called intact (完好无损的) look for artistic reasons, you will lose their key meaning.” Cave conservation is about continuously solving problems. “It needs a long-term research to better preserve the caves, over a much wider time span that goes beyond our lifetimes,” Su says. But at least, they can keep the existing look of the murals for as long as possible. 12. What is the main purpose of paragraph 2? A. To show the popularity of Dunhuang murals. B. To explain the history of the ancient Silk Road. C. To stress the significance of the restoration work. D. To present the ways of protecting cultural heritage. 13. Which of the following best describes the restoration work? A. Creative. B. Well-paid. C. Interesting. D. Demanding. 14. What should restoring murals focus on according to paragraph 4? A. Spotting the faded murals in time. B. Fixing the missing parts of murals. C Making preservation(保护) of the murals as they are. D. Repainting to perfect the appearance of murals. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Artistic Charm of Mural Paintings. B. The Mural Restoration in the Mogao Caves. C. The Successful Experiment on Cave Conservation. D. The Role of the Dunhuang Spirit in Chinese Culture. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是敦煌莫高窟壁画的修复工作及其意义。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段尤其是最后一句话的““Our work, repairing murals and painted sculptures, is to better preserve the caves, which promotes the great Dunhuang spirit of inclusiveness (包容) to the world and inspires modern people,” says Su Bomin, director of the Dunhuang Academy. (敦煌研究院的院长苏伯民说，“我们的工作——修复壁画和彩塑，是为了更好地保护洞穴，弘扬敦煌伟大的包容精神，并激励现代人。”)”可知，该团队致力于保护莫高窟735个洞穴中的45, 000平方米的壁画和2, 400多个彩绘雕塑，因为这些文物是几个世纪以来古丝绸之路上文化交流的产物，所以研究人员们表示，他们的工作是为了更好地保护洞穴，弘扬敦煌伟大的“包容”精神，并激励现代人。由此推知，本段目的在于强调修复工作的重要性。故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段的“To restore (修复) a mural requires an all-rounder. Restorers should know painting, master the skills of a mason (石匠) and have some knowledge of chemistry and physics, to be able to recognize the problems and their corresponding (相应的) causes and deliver a solution. They must also select proper materials and tools, and conduct experiments, before formally carrying out the restoration and evaluating the effect afterward. (修复一幅壁画需要一位全才。修复者应当通晓绘画，掌握石匠技艺，并具备一定的化学与物理知识，以便识别问题及其相应成因并提出解决方案。他们还必须选择适宜的材料与工具，进行试验，然后正式开展修复工作，并在之后评估修复效果。)”可知，修复壁画需要全能型选手。由此推知，修复工作要求很高。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段的“The restoration (修复) should respect the original work and aim to maintain the status quo (现状) of the murals rather than repainting them. (修复工作应尊重原作，以维持壁画的现状为目标，而不是重新粉刷。)”可知，修复工作应尊重原作，以保持壁画的现状为目标，而不是重新绘制壁画。由此可知，修复壁画应注意保持壁画的现状。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。文章第一段“It’s a race against time, as generations of cultural heritage conservators at the Dunhuang Academy make a great effort to protect the artistic charm of the Mogao Caves, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, despite erosion (侵蚀) by sand and wind. (这是一场与时间的赛跑，尽管受到风沙侵蚀，敦煌研究院的几代文化遗产保护人员仍在努力保护莫高窟的艺术魅力。莫高窟被联合国教科文组织列为世界遗产。)”提出保护莫高窟文化的话题，文章第二段至第四段主要讲述壁画修复师的工作内容及其意义，文章最后一段“Cave conservation is about continuously solving problems. “It needs a long-term research to better preserve the caves, over a much wider time span that goes beyond our lifetimes,” Su says. But at least, they can keep the existing look of the murals for as long as possible. (洞穴保护就是不断地解决问题。苏说：“为了更好地保护这些洞穴，需要进行长期的研究，研究的时间跨度要比我们的有生之年长得多。”但至少，他们可以尽可能长时间地保持壁画的现状。)”可知，本文主要围绕着敦煌莫高窟的壁画修复工作展开。由此可知，“莫高窟壁画修复”适合作本文最佳标题。故选B。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 What is volunteer travel?

E 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了志愿者旅行。志愿者旅行的全部或部分目的是参与安排的服务机会，帮助他人。通常，志愿者活动在外国进行，但有些机会可能涉及国家或地区项目。这些旅行通常由教会组织、人类利益团体或非营利组织安排。依托于互联网的发展，志愿者旅行在当下变得更加方便且高效了。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Volunteer travel involves taking a trip where all or part of the purpose of the trip is to participate in an arranged service opportunity helping others. Typically, the volunteer activity takes place in a foreign country, but some opportunities can involve national or regional projects.(志愿者旅行包括旅行的全部或部分,目的是参与安排的服务机会，帮助他人。通常，志愿者活动在外国进行，但有些机会可能涉及国家或地区项目)”可知，上文介绍了志愿者旅行的目的，以及涉及的区域，由此可推知接下来应介绍志愿者旅行组织部门，F项“这些旅行通常由教会组织、人类利益团体或非营利组织安排”符合文意，故选F。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Charitable interests often go far beyond national boundaries. People in developed countries become interested in the struggles of people in less developed countries.(慈善利益往往远远超出国界。发达国家的人民对欠发达国家人民的困境感兴趣)”可知，发达国家会的人对欠发达国家和地区进行慈善援助，结合下文 “Volunteer travel is a way to combine a visit to a new location with meaningful work that has a direct impact on communities in other parts of the world.(志愿者旅行是一种将对新地点的访问与对世界其他地区的社区有直接影响的有意义的工作相结合的方式。)”可知，慈善活动仅捐赠钱是不够的，还需要深入到具体的地方去进行志愿活动，来帮助他们，由此可知，D项 “有时，捐款不足以满足帮助的需要。”符合文意，承上启下，故选D。 【18题详解】 根据上文提到志愿者旅行会到新的地点去做有直接影响的有意义的工作，结合下文“Historically, church groups made up a large part of this market. Once a year a religious organization or church would organize a trip to another country. (从历史上看，教会团体在这一市场中占有很大一部分。宗教组织或教会每年组织一次到另一个国家的旅行) ”可知，这种选择已经存在多年，B项“多年来，这种旅行一直是一种选择”符合文意，for many years呼应下文的historically。故选B。 【19题详解】 根据下文“For example, it would be to help build a school in an impoverished(贫困的)area, or dig wells so a village would have clean water, or engage in hundreds of other projects that would impact those less fortunate.(例如，它将帮助在贫困地区修建一所学校，或为一个村庄打井以获得干净的水，或参与数百个其他项目，这些项目将影响那些不幸的人) ”可知，此处介绍志愿者旅行具体的目的，A项“这种旅行的主要目的非常明确”符合文意，故选A项。 【20题详解】 根据下文“Volunteering in other countries has become as accessible as browsing a website and signing up. Instead of traveling with a group that is organized at the volunteers home base, the volunteer may join a group that gathers at the worksite from all over the world. (在其他国家的志愿服务已经变得像浏览网站和注册一样容易。志愿者可以加入一个来自世界各地的团队，而不是与志愿者基地组织的团队一起旅行。)”可知，通过网络，志愿者旅行变得更加容易，并且更多人参与进来，可以不用长途跋涉到很远的地区去进行志愿服务，由此可知E项“互联网使社区服务总体上更受欢迎”符合文意，故选E项。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 My last hill ride was epic — just not in the way I’d hoped it would be.

This was not the first time that her sister had damaged her schoolwork. So, Neha asked her parents to buy her a study table with drawers where she could safely keep her books. Neha's parents could not afford to buy a brand new table. However, they agreed to buy her a second-hand table. One day after school, Neha's mother took her to a second-hand furniture store, so that she could buy a table of her choice. Neha accidentally opened a drawer in an old black table. And, guess what she found? A small transparent (透明的) plastic bag with some rupee (卢比) notes inside. “Am I the luckiest twelve-year-old? My birthday is coming up soon. With this money, I can buy myself a great many presents ... maybe a bicycle, books, dresses ... and maybe I can even buy things for my family,” Neha thought. She was overcome with greed (贪婪) and quickly pushed the bag to the back of the drawer. She went to her mother and told her that she wanted to buy that black table. Neha's mother told her that the table looked too old and she should look for something better. “No! I like this one,” Neha insisted. She was feeling scared inside but her greed made her lie. Neha could not wait until everybody left after the table was organized in her room. She locked the room and quickly opened the drawer and took out the plastic bag with the rupee notes inside. There was a note in the money bag. It seemed that some old lady was saving the money for her children and grandchildren. Neha began counting the money. She could hear her heart beat louder and louder and finally she counted twelve thousand rupees. But now, with all the money she had, she thought she would have to make up many lies in order to spend that money and would have to hide the money all the time. 注意: 1. 续写词数应为 150 个左右; 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 With her heart still racing, Neha gathered the strength to face up to what she had done. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Together, the three of them went back to the store, where the shop owner offered to help. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: With her heart still racing, Neha gathered the strength to face up to what she had done. She called her parents into her room, her eyes filled with determination. As they entered, she handed them the plastic bag filled with the unexpected treasure. “Mom, Dad, I found this, but I know it’s not mine,” she said, her voice steady. “Let’s return it and find the rightful owners. I don’t want to keep something that doesn’t belong to me.” Her parents exchanged a look of pride and immediately agreed. They wrapped their arms around Neha, offering words of encouragement. Together, the three of them went back to the store, where the shop owner offered to help. They discovered that the money belonged to an elderly woman who had sold the old black table to the store but forgot to take out the bag in the drawer. So they immediately contacted with the woman and returned the money. Seeing the genuine happiness she had brought to the woman’s life, Neha finally let out a sigh of relief. “This birthday,” she thought, “I’ve gained something more valuable than any gift — the restoration of my honesty.” 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了Neha因妹妹损坏其科学项目而希望得到一个带抽屉的学习桌以保护自己的物品。在二手家具店中，她意外发现一个旧黑桌子抽屉里藏有一笔钱。虽然起初她因贪婪想占为己用，但最终意识到这笔钱可能属于一位为子孙储蓄的老太太。面对这笔意外之财，Neha意识到拥有这笔钱将带来诸多谎言和隐藏，暗示了她内心的挣扎和对道德选择的反思。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“Neha的心仍在怦怦直跳，但她鼓起勇气面对自己所做的一切。”可知，第一段可描写Neha向父母说出真相并决定把东西还回去以及父母的反应。 ②由第二段首句内容“三人一同回到那家商店，店主主动提出要帮忙。”可知，第二段可描写找到了旧黑桌子的主人并把钱归还的过程以及Neha的感悟。 2.续写线索：向父母说明真相——决定物归原主——找到主人——归还物品——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 充满：be filled with/be full of 归还：return/give back 想要做某事：want to do sth/would like to do sth 获得：gain/obtain 情绪类 快乐：happiness/pleasure 决心：determination/resolution 【点睛】[高分句型1] As they entered, she handed them the plastic bag filled with the unexpected treasure.（运用了as引导时间状语从句以及过去分词作后置定语） [高分句型2] They discovered that the money belonged to an elderly woman who had sold the old black table to the store but forgot to take out the bag in the drawer.（运用了that引导宾语从句以及who引导的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
