精品解析：湖北省襄阳市第五中学2024-2025学年高一下学期5月月考英语试题

2024-2025学年下学期 襄阳五中 高一年级 5月月考英语 英语试卷 第一部分 听力 （共两节，满分30分）略 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2. 5分，满分37. 5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的ABCD四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Are you looking for something to do? You might like to try one of these four experiences. Crocodile watching Do you fancy getting up close to some of the most terrifying animals on earth? Crocosaurus Cove, in Darwin (Australia) has the “Cage of Death”. It’s an enclosure that’s lowered into a pool. This gives you a 360 degree view of a crocodile as it’s being fed. The cable broke once and the cage sank to the bottom, but they’ve fixed it since then. Edge walk How about walking along the edge of a building several hundred meters up in the air? If that sounds like fun, head off to the CN Tower in Toronto (Ontario, Canada). Built in 1976, the tower is 553.33 meters tall. The Edge walk consists of a 20-30 minute stroll along a 1.5 meter wide platform that runs around the tower’s restaurant roof. During the walk, you’re encouraged to lean forwards as you look over Toronto’s skyline (轮廓线). Plastic ball rolling Do you fancy rolling down a hill in a plastic ball? Plastic ball rolling is popular all over the world, but the place to give it a go is in Rotorua (New Zealand). Brother David and Andrew Akers came up with the idea in 1994. A typical orb (球) is about 3 meters in diameter, with an inner orb size of about 2 meters. There’s no brake or steering mechanism, but the inner layer of the plastic ball helps absorb the shock. Volcano bungee jumping If you’re looking for the adventure of a lifetime, how about going bungee jumping off a helicopter into the crater of a live volcano? As part of the jumping, a helicopter ride takes you to the Villarreal volcano, one of the most active in Chile. Once you’re at the drop zone, you leap off the helicopter and fall into the volcano. Finally, you enjoy the ride back to the airport flying at 130kph. Attracted by the above? If so, please contact us. Only half price from March 22 to April 25th For more information, please click here. 1. According to the passage, there was an accident once when people _____. A. jumped into the Villarreal volcano B. walked along the platform of the CN Tower C. rolled down a hill in a plastic ball in Rotorua D. watched crocodiles in the “Cage of Death” in Darwin 2. Which of the following was first invented in New Zealand? A. Edge walk. B. Crocodile watching. C. Plastic ball rolling. D. Volcano bungee jumping. 3. It can be inferred that all the four experiences are ______. A. interesting sports B. exciting and extreme C. held on high places D. fit for middle to old people 【答案】1. D 2. C 3. B 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇应用文。文章给我们介绍了四种刺激的、极限的活动。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。在Crocodile watching中Crocosaurus Cove, in Darwin(Australia) has the “Cage of Death”. It’s an enclosure that’s lowered into a pool. The cable broke once and the cage sank to the bottom, but they’ve fixed it since then.可知，鳄鱼湾，在达尔文(澳大利亚)有“死亡之笼”。这是一个放低到水池里的围栏。这样你就可以360度观看鳄鱼进食的画面了。电缆有一次断了，笼子沉到了水底，但他们后来修好了。由此可知，事故发生时人们正在“Cage of Death” in Darwin观看鳄鱼，故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Plastic ball rolling中Plastic ball rolling is popular all over the world, but the place to give it a go is in Rotorua(New Zealand). Brother David and Andrew Akers came up with the idea in 1994.可知，Plastic ball rolling在全世界都很受欢迎，但是在新西兰的罗托鲁瓦可以尝试一下。阿克斯兄弟大卫和安德鲁在1994年提出了这个想法。由此可知，Plastic ball rolling起源于新西兰。故选C。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据Crocodile watching中的“Do you fancy getting up close to some of the most terrifying animals on earth? ” 你想接近地球上一些最可怕的动物吗?根据Edge walk中的“How about walking along the edge of a building several hundred meters up in the air? ” 沿着建筑物的边缘在空中走几百米怎么样?根据Plastic ball rolling中的“ Do you fancy rolling down a hill in a plastic ball? ” 你喜欢在一个塑料球里从山上滚下来吗?。根据Volcano bungee jumping中的“If you’re looking for the adventure of a lifetime, how about going bungee jumping off a helicopter into the crater of a live volcano?” 如果你正在寻找一生中最冒险的经历，从直升飞机上往火山口蹦极怎么样?由此判断出这几项活动都是刺激的、极限的活动。故选B。 B When I started university, people told me, “These will be the best days of your life.” Not only would these be the best days of my life, everyone said, but they would also be the most exciting. By the end of my first year I was seriously considering dropping out. I had not made as many friends, had as much fun, or enjoyed my course as much as I thought I was going to. But I didn’t tell anyone. I certainly didn’t put it on Facebook — its culture of competitive sharing made me feel even worse. Visiting my friends’ Facebook, I found that they were clearly enjoying themselves a lot. Jemma Lamble and I are friends on Facebook — what impression did she get from my Facebook page? “There is one feeling I got when I clicked on Libby’s Facebook page and that is jealousy.” Talking to fellow students has made me realize how little resemblance our Facebook lives have to our real ones. “University life wasn’t the walk in the park I had expected,” says Jemma. “I certainly didn’t expect the feeling of loneliness that I experienced because I found it hard to connect with the people on my course.” Sophie Smith remembers her first day, “As I walked into my first class, I tried my hardest to smile at everyone and make friends. But I was shocked by how blank some people were. I said to one guy, ‘Wow, LCF, I still can’t believe I’m here’. He replied, ‘Well, LCF is lucky to have me.’” My time at university may not have been the dream that I signed up for, but it has made me who I am. LCF did not provide me with the social experience I dreamed of, but it has made me appreciate the good friends I have kept from my childhood and each new one I have made here. Studying in London was frightening at times, but I have become much more independent as a result. Now that I am starting my third and final year, I can look back and see that university has been an experience. 4. What can we infer from paragraph 1? A. The author was hard to please. B. The author had been fooled by those people. C. The author felt disappointed with her campus life. D. The author might not be very easy to get along with. 5. Which of the following is TRUE about Facebook according to the text? A. Facebook makes a person competitive. B. Sometimes a Facebook page may be a lie. C. Facebook lives are a mirror of the real ones. D. People really enjoy themselves on Facebook. 6. How did Sophie Smith consider the guy who replied to her? A. Fortunate B. Impolite C. Humorous D. Considerate 7. What does the author mainly say in the last paragraph? A. She feels regretful. B. LCF is not her dream college. C. Hardship has made her stronger. D. Friendship weighs more than social experience. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者大学生活的失望经历，通过与同学交流发现社交媒体上的生活并非真实，并反思这段经历带来的成长。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“By the end of my first year I was seriously considering dropping out. I had not made as many friends, had as much fun, or enjoyed my course as much as I thought I was going to. (在第一年结束时，我正认真考虑退学。我没有交到那么多朋友，没有玩得那么开心，也没有像我认为的那样享受我的课程)”可推知，作者对她的校园生活感到失望。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“I certainly didn’t put it on Facebook — its culture of competitive sharing made me feel even worse. Visiting my friends’ Facebook, I found that they were clearly enjoying themselves a lot. (我当然没有把它放在Facebook上——Facebook上那种竞争性分享的文化让我感觉更糟。当我访问我朋友的Facebook时，我发现他们显然玩得很开心)”以及第四段中“Talking to fellow students has made me realize how little resemblance our Facebook lives have to our real ones. (与同学们的交谈让我意识到，我们在Facebook上的生活与现实生活是多么的不一样)”可知，Facebook上人们分享的内容可能并不是真实生活的反映，人们在Facebook上可能表现得比现实中更快乐，Facebook页面可能是一个完全的谎言。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中““As I walked into my first class, I tried my hardest to smile at everyone and make friends. But I was shocked by how blank some people were. I said to one guy, ‘Wow, LCF, I still can’t believe I’m here’. He replied, ‘Well, LCF is lucky to have me.’” (当我走进我的第一堂课的时候，我竭尽全力对每个人微笑并结交朋友。但我对一些人那种冷漠的态度感到震惊。我对一个男生说：“哇，伦敦时装学院，我仍然不敢相信我来到了这里。” 他回答道：“嗯，伦敦时装学院能有我是它的幸运。”)”可知，Sophie Smith对那个男生的回答感到惊讶，因为他的话显得很自大，不礼貌。所以Sophie Smith一定认为那个回复她的男生是不礼貌的。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“My time at university may not have been the dream that I signed up for, but it has made me who I am. LCF did not provide me with the social experience I dreamed of, but it has made me appreciate the good friends I have kept from my childhood and each new one I have made here. Studying in London was frightening at times, but I have become much more independent as a result. (我在大学的时光或许并非我当初报名时所梦想的那样，但它塑造了如今的我。伦敦时装学院没有给我带来我所梦想的社交体验，但它让我珍惜那些从童年时期就保持联系的好朋友，以及我在这里结交的每一位新朋友。在伦敦求学有时会让人感到害怕，但这也让我变得更加独立)”可知，作者在最后一段中主要想表达的是，尽管在大学期间遇到了一些困难，但这些困难让她变得更加坚强和独立。故选C。 C In many walks of life and in many situations, persuading people to .do what you want them to do is the key to success. Researchers have looked into different aspects of persuasion and come up with some interesting results which are surely helpful to us. One advertising copywriter came up with an approach to selling a product on a TV shopping channel via phone sales. Instead of being instructed “Operators are waiting, please call now”, viewers were told “If operators are busy, please call again”. The results were extraordinary. The ad suggested operators weren't- sitting around hoping .people would call. Instead there were so many people: wanting the product that people might have to wait until they could get it. What role does choice have in persuading people to buy or get something? One study in a supermarket showed the effect of choice. A particular supermarket displayed either 6 or 24 different kinds of jam. The 1arge display attracted more interest than the small one. But when the time came to purchase things; people who saw the large display were one-tenth as likely to buy. If they do buy, they are less content with their selection, even though they have made a good choice. A wider range of choices require more time and effort and lead to unreasonably high expectations. Another aspect 6f persuasion concerns getting someone to change their mind: It's hard to prove to someone that a previous decision is wrong, and as people get older they get less and less willing to change their minds. People want things to be unwavering; they want their attitudes, statements, values and actions to follow a set pattern. The only way to persuade them to change is to acknowledger this by agreeing that the previous decision they made is a perfectly understandable one. This allows them to focus on your suggestion without feeling their previous decision is wrong. As a result, they may be persuaded to break out of their established pattern. 8. What does the advertising copywriter want to indicate about the product? A. It's for sale. B. It's precious. C. It's in demand. D. It's' rare. 9. What does the study mentioned in Paragraph 3 show? A. Increased choice decreases satisfaction. B. More selections bring more actions. C. More and more people don't want to choose. D. Some choices are more attractive than others. 10. What's the author's attitude to people's unwillingness to change their mind? A. Indifferent. B. Favorable. C. Understandable. D. Unbearable. 11. What is the purpose of the text? A. To teach bow to get better at persuasion. B. To discuss various studies on persuasion. C. To compare different forms of persuasion. D. To analyze how persuasion affects success. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。在生活的许多方面，在许多情况下，说服别人去做你想让他们做的事情是成功的关键。研究人员研究了说服的不同方面，并得出了一些有趣的结果，这些结果肯定对我们很有帮助。文章主要说明了一些提高说服力的方法，并用实际的案例来进行说明这一方法的应用。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“One advertising copywriter came up with an approach to selling a product on a TV shopping channel via phone sales. Instead of being instructed “Operators are waiting, please call now”, viewers were told “If operators are busy, please call again”. The results were extraordinary. The ad suggested operators weren’t sitting around hoping people would call. Instead there were so many people wanting the product that people might have to wait until they could get it.( 一个广告文案想出了一个在电视购物频道通过电话销售产品的方法。观众们被告知“如果接线员忙，请再拨”，而不是“接线员正在等候，请立即拨”。结果是惊人的。这则广告表明，运营商不会坐等人们打来电话。相反，有太多的人想要产品，人们可能不得不等待，直到他们可以得到它)”可推知，广告文案是想表明该产品需求量很大，许多人想买。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“One study in a supermarket showed the effect of choice. A particular supermarket displayed either 6 or 24 different kinds of jam. The large display attracted more interest than the small one. But when the time came to purchase things, people who saw the large display were one-tenth as likely to buy. If they do buy, they are less satisfied with their selection, even though they have made a good choice. A wider range of choices require more time and effort and lead to unreasonably high expectations.(一项在超市进行的研究显示了选择的影响。某家超市展示了6种或24种不同的果酱。大显示器比小显示器更吸引人。但到了购买商品的时候，看到大屏幕的人购买的可能性只有前者的十分之一。如果他们真的买了，他们会对自己的选择不太满意，即使他们做出了不错的选择。更广泛的选择需要更多的时间和努力，并导致不合理的高期望)”可推知，第3段提到的研究表明了选择的增加降低了满意度。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Another aspect 6f persuasion concerns getting someone to change their mind: It's hard to prove to someone that a previous decision is wrong, and as people get older they get less and less willing to change their minds. People want things to be unwavering; they want their attitudes, statements, values and actions to follow a set pattern. The only way to persuade them to change is to acknowledger this by agreeing that the previous decision they made is a perfectly understandable one. This allows them to focus on your suggestion without feeling their previous decision is wrong. As a result, they may be persuaded to break out of their established pattern.(说服的另一个方面是让别人改变主意：很难向别人证明之前的决定是错误的，而且随着人们年龄的增长，他们越来越不愿意改变主意。人们希望事情是坚定不移的；他们希望自己的态度、言论、价值观和行为遵循既定的模式。说服他们改变的唯一方法是承认这一点，承认他们之前做出的决定是完全可以理解的。这会让他们专注于你的建议，而不会觉得他们之前的决定是错误的。因此，他们可能会被说服打破他们既定的模式)”可推知，作者对人们不愿改变主意表示理解。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“In many walks of life and in many situations, persuading people to do what you want them to do is the key to success. Researchers have looked into different aspects of persuasion and come up with some interesting results which are surely helpful to us.(在生活的许多方面，在许多情况下，说服别人去做你想让他们做的事情是成功的关键。研究人员研究了说服的不同方面，并得出了一些有趣的结果，这些结果肯定对我们很有帮助)”结合文章主要说明了一些提高说服力的方法，并用实际的案例来进行说明这一方法的应用。可推知，作者写这篇文章的目的是教授如何提高说服能力。故选A。 D A century ago, iodine deficiency (缺碘) was a significant health issue for children across much of the United States. With great efforts during the 1900s, the problem was largely removed after iodine was added to common foods, particularly table salt. However, doctors are now observing increasing cases in iodine deficiency due to dietary shifts and modern food manufacturing practices. Iodine, discovered accidentally by a French chemist in 1811, is an essential element which plays a crucial role in controlling metabolism (新陈代谢) and supporting healthy brain development in children and is found in seawater and certain soils, primarily in coastal areas. A common sign of iodine deficiency is the enlargement of the thyroid gland, known as a goiter (甲状腺肿大), which can lead to other health issues such as delayed growth and deafness. In 1924, public health experts introduced iodized salt to address iodine deficiency. By the 1950s, over 70% of U. S. households used iodized salt, and iodine was also added to bread and other foods. As a result, iodine deficiency became rare in America. However, dietary habits have shifted significantly since then. Processed foods, which now dominate the American diet, often contain non-iodized salt. Additionally, many people prefer using specialty salts like kosher salt or Himalayan rock salt, which lack iodine. Dr. Elizabeth Pearce of Boston Medical Center, a leader in the iodine Global Network, notes that iodine levels in the U. S dropped by 50% between the 1970s and 1990s. She emphasizes that many people have forgotten the importance of iodine in salt. This decline is particularly concerning for pregnant and breastfeeding women, who require at least 150 micrograms of iodine daily to support infant brain development. Surprisingly, many vitamins intended for them also lack iodine. Iodine deficiency also has been linked to lower IQ scores in children, though more research is needed to fully understand its impact on the U. S. population. Dr. Monica Serrano-Gonzalez of Brown University who has observed the troubling resurgence in iodine deficiency among children, particularly those with restricted diets, stresses that greater public awareness and education are essential to ensure that iodine remains a priority in public health so as to prevent the problem from worsening. 12. How was iodine deficiency addressed in the 20th century? A. By introducing iodized salt. B. By shifting people’s daily diet. C. By advancing food processing practices. D. By encouraging people to eat more seafood. 13. What can be inferred from paragraph 4? A. The significance of iodine is much too stressed. B. Many pregnant women may not be acquiring adequate iodine. C. Iodine deficiency is no longer a concern for pregnant women. D. Vitamins are the primary source of iodine for pregnant women. 14. What does the underlined word “resurgence” in paragraph 5 mean? A. reappearance. B. removal. C. resistance. D. reduction. 15. What is the main idea of the article? A. Iodine is of great significance in Americans’ diet. B. Iodized salt is no longer necessary in modern diets. C. The iodine deficiency problem is staging a comeback. D. The once iodine deficiency problem has been rid of now. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文讲述了碘缺乏问题正在卷土重来。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“In 1924, public health experts introduced iodized salt to address iodine deficiency. By the 1950s, over 70% of U. S. households used iodized salt, and iodine was also added to bread and other foods. As a result, iodine deficiency became rare in America. (1924年，公共卫生专家引入加碘盐来解决碘缺乏问题。到20世纪50年代，超过70%的美国家庭使用加碘盐，碘也被添加到面包和其他食物中。结果，碘缺乏症在美国变得罕见。)”可知，20世纪是通过引入加碘盐来解决碘缺乏问题的。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“This decline is particularly concerning for pregnant and breastfeeding women, who require at least 150 micrograms of iodine daily to support infant brain development. Surprisingly, many vitamins intended for them also lack iodine. (这种下降对孕妇和哺乳期妇女尤其令人担忧，她们每天至少需要150微克碘来支持婴儿的大脑发育。令人惊讶的是，许多为她们准备的维生素也缺乏碘。)”可知，许多孕妇可能没有获得足够的碘。故选B。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“A century ago, iodine deficiency (缺碘) was a significant health issue for children across much of the United States. With great efforts during the1900s, the problem was largely removed after iodine was added to common foods, particularly table salt. However, doctors are now observing increasing cases in iodine deficiency due to dietary shifts and modern food manufacturing practices. (一个世纪以前，碘缺乏症是美国大部分地区儿童的一个重大健康问题。经过20世纪的努力，碘被添加到普通食物中，特别是食盐中，这个问题基本上被消除了。然而，医生们现在观察到越来越多的碘缺乏症病例，这归因于饮食习惯的改变和现代食品生产规范。)”和划线词下文“stresses that greater public awareness and education are essential to ensure that iodine remains a priority in public health so as to prevent the problem from worsening. (强调必须提高公众认知并加强相关科普教育，确保碘元素在公共卫生领域始终处于重要地位，从而防止该问题进一步恶化。)”可知，前文提到美国20世纪通过碘盐基本消除了碘缺乏症，但本段指出儿童中又出现该问题，说明问题再次出现。故可推知划线词resurgence意为“再现”。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“However, doctors are now observing increasing cases in iodine deficiency due to dietary shifts and modern food manufacturing practices. (然而，医生们现在观察到越来越多的碘缺乏症病例，这归因于饮食习惯的改变和现代食品生产规范。)”和最后一段“Dr. Monica Serrano-Gonzalez of Brown University who has observed the troubling resurgence in iodine deficiency among children, particularly those with restricted diets, stresses that greater public awareness and education are essential to ensure that iodine remains a priority in public health so as to prevent the problem from worsening. (布朗大学的莫妮卡·塞拉诺·冈萨雷斯博士观察到，令人不安的是，儿童，特别是那些饮食受限的儿童，碘缺乏症重新出现，她强调，必须提高公众认知并加强相关科普教育，确保碘元素在公共卫生领域始终处于重要地位，从而防止该问题进一步恶化。)”可知，这篇文章的主旨是碘缺乏问题正在卷土重来。故选C。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选车能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Very few people can say that they have achieved all that they are capable of. But what is it that is preventing you from fulfilling your potential (潜能)? Take a look at those who can constantly break through themselves and pursue higher achievements, and you may draw some inspiration. ____16____ They know that they have something special to contribute and they are determined to make their mark. This does not mean that they are too proud. On the contrary, they are self-critical and push themselves hard because they know that they can achieve more.

They take on difficult challenges. They push themselves to acquire new skills and to face new examinations of their abilities. ____18____ Where are you right now — inside your comfort zone or taking risks? ____19____ Thinking and planning are great but it is action that leads to success. It is only by doing things and doing the right things that you change the world. Let’s face it — your friends and family are really nice people but they are not challenging you to achieve more. Spend more time with high fliers and positive thinkers who understand ambition and achievement. Share some of your thoughts, dreams and challenges with them. ____20____ A. High achievers go further. B. This means that they run the risk of failure. C. All successful people have strong self-belief. D. They can take comfort in modest achievements. E. You waste a lot of time every day on low value activities. F. They will encourage you and give you the direct advice you need. G. It is really very hard to make progress if you have no ambition for your life. 【答案】16. C 17. A 18. B 19. E 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，作者通过阐述成功者所具有的特质分析了阻碍我们发挥潜能的一些因素，并给出了一些建议。 【16题详解】 设空处为段首句；由下文“They know that they have something special to contribute and they are determined to make their mark. This does not mean that they are too proud. On the contrary, they are self-critical and push themselves hard because they know that they can achieve more. (他们知道自己拥有独特的价值，决心要留下属于自己的印记。但这并不意味着他们自负。恰恰相反，他们对自己很严格，时刻鞭策自己，因为他们清楚自己还有更大的潜力可以发挥。)”可知，本段讲述的这些人非常自信；C选项“所有成功人士都有强烈的自信。”符合语境，起到引领下文的作用，下文中的they指代选项中的“All successful people”。故选C。 【17题详解】 根据上文“It is easy and natural to settle into a rut (墨守成规). Why try something new when you are already doing what you are good at? (墨守成规是很容易也很自然的。当你已经在做你擅长的事情时，为什么要尝试新的东西呢? )”和下文“They take risks. They move out of their comfort zones. They take on difficult challenges. (他们敢于冒险。他们走出了自己的舒适区。他们接受困难的挑战。)”可知，A选项“高成就者走得更远。”承上启下，回答了上文所提出的问题，指出成就高的人不会墨守成规，他们走得更远；下文承接A选项，具体说明他们如何走更远。故选A。 【18题详解】 上文“They take risks. They move out of their comfort zones. They take on difficult challenges. They push themselves to acquire new skills and to face new examinations of their abilities. (他们敢于冒险。他们走出了自己的舒适区。他们接受困难的挑战。他们强迫自己学习新技能，面对对自己能力的新考验。)”指出成就高的人敢于冒险，去挑战自我，接受对自己能力新的考验；B选项“这意味着他们冒着失败的风险。”总结前文，指出上文的做法意味着他们会有失败的风险，符合语境；选项中的代词This指代前文所阐述的内容,“run the risk of failure”与上下文中的“take risks”、“taking risks”相呼应。故选B。 【19题详解】 根据下文“Thinking and planning are great but it is action that leads to success. It is only by doing things and doing the right things that you change the world.(思考和计划是伟大的，但行动才能带来成功。只有通过做事和做正确的事情，你才能改变世界。)”可知，只有行动起来，做正确的事情才能成功；E选项“你每天在低价值的活动上浪费了很多时间。”指出你在低价值的事上浪费了很多时间，没有做正确的事，阐述了无法实现自己的潜能的原因，符合语境。故选E。 【20题详解】 上文“Spend more time with high fliers and positive thinkers who understand ambition and achievement. Share some of your thoughts, dreams and challenges with them.(多花点时间和那些懂得抱负与成就的雄心勃勃的人和积极的思考者在一起。与他们分享你的一些想法、梦想和挑战。)”建议要和有远大目标的人、充满正能量的人分享你的想法，梦想和挑战；F选项“他们会鼓励你，给你需要的直接建议。”承接上文，阐述多和具有远大目标、积极的思考者在一起交流的益处，符合语境。故选F。 第三部分 语言知识点运用（共两节，满分45分） 第一节 （共20小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的ABCD四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Most airplanes are constructed with seats in rows of two or three.

Their little schoolhouse was heated by an old- fashioned coal stove in winter. One chilly morning, the teacher and students arrived, only to find the schoolhouse in flames. Gleen was dragged out of the flaming building, unconscious. The lower half of his body was badly burned and he was immediately sent to a nearby hospital. From his bed, Gleen faintly heard the doctor talking to his parents. “He could hardly survive, ” the doctor said in a low voice, “for the terrible fire had destroyed the lower half of his body. ” “I don’t want to die, mum. ” Gleen told his mother. He was determined to survive. To the doctor’s amazement, he did survive. When the serious danger was past, he again heard the doctor and his parents speaking quietly. “He was bound to be disabled for life, ” the doctor whispered, “since the fire had destroyed so much flesh in the lower part of his body. He can’t walk like a normal person. ” “I will walk, dad. ” Gleen told his father. Once more, the brave boy made up his mind. He would not be disabled. But unfortunately, he has no feeling from the waist down. His thin legs just hung there, lifeless. Ultimately, he was discharged from the hospital. Back home, Gleen’s mother would squeeze and rub his little legs every day, hoping to help them recover, but it made little difference. He was either in bed or attached to a wheelchair. Yet his determination that he would walk never faded. Instead, he kept thinking about how to make himself stand up and walk again. On a lovely summer day, as usual, Gleen was wheeled out into the yard for some fresh air, where his father had just built a fence by driving the stakes (木桩) into the grassland. Sitting in the wheelchair, Gleen was staring at the fence around the yard. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 It occurred to him that he could make the most of the fence. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After that, Gleen began to do this every day until he made a flat path beside the fence. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: It occurred to him that he could make the most of the fence. He had his mother wheeled him to the fence, beside which he threw himself onto the grass from the chair. Then, using all his strength, he struggled to raise himself up by holding on to the fence. Then, stake by stake, he began moving himself forward along the fence, dragging his legs behind. “Mom, dad, I will make it. ” Glenn smiled at his parents, his eyes full of determination. After that, Gleen began to do this every day until he made a flat path beside the fence. He kept practicing standing up and walking with the help of the fence while his mother kept squeezing and rubbing his legs every day. As time went by, with his mother’s daily massages and his persistence, he did regain the ability to first stand up by himself, then to walk unsteadily, then to walk by himself, and finally to run. Gleen, the boy who was never expected to survive, walk or run, proved that nothing is impossible to a willing heart. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了格伦被大火烧伤以后勇敢面对现实，他坚持走下去的决心从未消退，一直在思考如何让自己重新站起来行走，后来利用栅栏坚持进行康复训练，最后成功恢复健康重新站起来行走的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“他突然想到他可以充分利用栅栏。”可知，第一段可描写他利用栅栏来进行锻炼的过程和心理感受。 ②由第二段首句内容“从那以后，格伦开始每天这样做，直到他在栅栏旁边开辟了一条平坦的小路。”可知，第二段可描写他在围栏的帮助下练习站立和行走所取得的效果以及感悟。 2.续写线索： 发现栅栏——利用栅栏——坚持锻炼——坚定信念——成功恢复——思想感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①努力做某事：struggled to do sth/make efforts to do sth/try to do sth ②举起：raise up/lift up ③向前移动：move forward/make way/advance 情绪类 ①决心：determination/resolution ②期待：expect/look forward to 【点睛】【高分句型1】Then, using all his strength, he struggled to raise himself up by holding on to the fence.

You might like to try one of these four experiences. Crocodile watching Do you fancy getting up close to some of the most terrifying animals on earth? Crocosaurus Cove, in Darwin (Australia) has the “Cage of Death”. It’s an enclosure that’s lowered into a pool. This gives you a 360 degree view of a crocodile as it’s being fed. The cable broke once and the cage sank to the bottom, but they’ve fixed it since then. Edge walk How about walking along the edge of a building several hundred meters up in the air? If that sounds like fun, head off to the CN Tower in Toronto (Ontario, Canada). Built in 1976, the tower is 553.33 meters tall. The Edge walk consists of a 20-30 minute stroll along a 1.5 meter wide platform that runs around the tower’s restaurant roof. During the walk, you’re encouraged to lean forwards as you look over Toronto’s skyline (轮廓线). Plastic ball rolling Do you fancy rolling down a hill in a plastic ball? Plastic ball rolling is popular all over the world, but the place to give it a go is in Rotorua (New Zealand). Brother David and Andrew Akers came up with the idea in 1994. A typical orb (球) is about 3 meters in diameter, with an inner orb size of about 2 meters. There’s no brake or steering mechanism, but the inner layer of the plastic ball helps absorb the shock. Volcano bungee jumping If you’re looking for the adventure of a lifetime, how about going bungee jumping off a helicopter into the crater of a live volcano? As part of the jumping, a helicopter ride takes you to the Villarreal volcano, one of the most active in Chile. Once you’re at the drop zone, you leap off the helicopter and fall into the volcano. Finally, you enjoy the ride back to the airport flying at 130kph. Attracted by the above? If so, please contact us. Only half price from March 22 to April 25th For more information, please click here. 1. According to the passage, there was an accident once when people _____. A. jumped into the Villarreal volcano B. walked along the platform of the CN Tower C. rolled down a hill in a plastic ball in Rotorua D. watched crocodiles in the “Cage of Death” in Darwin 2. Which of the following was first invented in New Zealand? A. Edge walk. B. Crocodile watching. C. Plastic ball rolling. D. Volcano bungee jumping. 3. It can be inferred that all the four experiences are ______. A. interesting sports B. exciting and extreme C. held on high places D. fit for middle to old people B When I started university, people told me, “These will be the best days of your life.” Not only would these be the best days of my life, everyone said, but they would also be the most exciting. By the end of my first year I was seriously considering dropping out. I had not made as many friends, had as much fun, or enjoyed my course as much as I thought I was going to. But I didn’t tell anyone. I certainly didn’t put it on Facebook — its culture of competitive sharing made me feel even worse. Visiting my friends’ Facebook, I found that they were clearly enjoying themselves a lot. Jemma Lamble and I are friends on Facebook — what impression did she get from my Facebook page? “There is one feeling I got when I clicked on Libby’s Facebook page and that is jealousy.” Talking to fellow students has made me realize how little resemblance our Facebook lives have to our real ones. “University life wasn’t the walk in the park I had expected,” says Jemma. “I certainly didn’t expect the feeling of loneliness that I experienced because I found it hard to connect with the people on my course.” Sophie Smith remembers her first day, “As I walked into my first class, I tried my hardest to smile at everyone and make friends. But I was shocked by how blank some people were. I said to one guy, ‘Wow, LCF, I still can’t believe I’m here’. He replied, ‘Well, LCF is lucky to have me.’” My time at university may not have been the dream that I signed up for, but it has made me who I am. LCF did not provide me with the social experience I dreamed of, but it has made me appreciate the good friends I have kept from my childhood and each new one I have made here. Studying in London was frightening at times, but I have become much more independent as a result. Now that I am starting my third and final year, I can look back and see that university has been an experience. 4. What can we infer from paragraph 1? A. The author was hard to please. B.

Friendship weighs more than social experience. C In many walks of life and in many situations, persuading people to .do what you want them to do is the key to success. Researchers have looked into different aspects of persuasion and come up with some interesting results which are surely helpful to us. One advertising copywriter came up with an approach to selling a product on a TV shopping channel via phone sales. Instead of being instructed “Operators are waiting, please call now”, viewers were told “If operators are busy, please call again”. The results were extraordinary. The ad suggested operators weren't- sitting around hoping .people would call. Instead there were so many people: wanting the product that people might have to wait until they could get it. What role does choice have in persuading people to buy or get something? One study in a supermarket showed the effect of choice. A particular supermarket displayed either 6 or 24 different kinds of jam. The 1arge display attracted more interest than the small one. But when the time came to purchase things; people who saw the large display were one-tenth as likely to buy. If they do buy, they are less content with their selection, even though they have made a good choice. A wider range of choices require more time and effort and lead to unreasonably high expectations. Another aspect 6f persuasion concerns getting someone to change their mind: It's hard to prove to someone that a previous decision is wrong, and as people get older they get less and less willing to change their minds. People want things to be unwavering; they want their attitudes, statements, values and actions to follow a set pattern. The only way to persuade them to change is to acknowledger this by agreeing that the previous decision they made is a perfectly understandable one. This allows them to focus on your suggestion without feeling their previous decision is wrong. As a result, they may be persuaded to break out of their established pattern. 8. What does the advertising copywriter want to indicate about the product? A. It's for sale. B. It's precious. C. It's in demand. D. It's' rare. 9. What does the study mentioned in Paragraph 3 show? A. Increased choice decreases satisfaction. B. More selections bring more actions. C. More and more people don't want to choose. D. Some choices are more attractive than others. 10. What's the author's attitude to people's unwillingness to change their mind? A. Indifferent. B. Favorable. C. Understandable. D. Unbearable. 11. What is the purpose of the text? A. To teach bow to get better at persuasion. B. To discuss various studies on persuasion. C. To compare different forms of persuasion. D. To analyze how persuasion affects success. D A century ago, iodine deficiency (缺碘) was a significant health issue for children across much of the United States. With great efforts during the 1900s, the problem was largely removed after iodine was added to common foods, particularly table salt. However, doctors are now observing increasing cases in iodine deficiency due to dietary shifts and modern food manufacturing practices. Iodine, discovered accidentally by a French chemist in 1811, is an essential element which plays a crucial role in controlling metabolism (新陈代谢) and supporting healthy brain development in children and is found in seawater and certain soils, primarily in coastal areas. A common sign of iodine deficiency is the enlargement of the thyroid gland, known as a goiter (甲状腺肿大), which can lead to other health issues such as delayed growth and deafness. In 1924, public health experts introduced iodized salt to address iodine deficiency. By the 1950s, over 70% of U. S. households used iodized salt, and iodine was also added to bread and other foods. As a result, iodine deficiency became rare in America. However, dietary habits have shifted significantly since then. Processed foods, which now dominate the American diet, often contain non-iodized salt. Additionally, many people prefer using specialty salts like kosher salt or Himalayan rock salt, which lack iodine. Dr. Elizabeth Pearce of Boston Medical Center, a leader in the iodine Global Network, notes that iodine levels in the U. S dropped by 50% between the 1970s and 1990s. She emphasizes that many people have forgotten the importance of iodine in salt. This decline is particularly concerning for pregnant and breastfeeding women, who require at least 150 micrograms of iodine daily to support infant brain development. Surprisingly, many vitamins intended for them also lack iodine. Iodine deficiency also has been linked to lower IQ scores in children, though more research is needed to fully understand its impact on the U. S. population. Dr. Monica Serrano-Gonzalez of Brown University who has observed the troubling resurgence in iodine deficiency among children, particularly those with restricted diets, stresses that greater public awareness and education are essential to ensure that iodine remains a priority in public health so as to prevent the problem from worsening. 12. How was iodine deficiency addressed in the 20th century? A. By introducing iodized salt. B. By shifting people’s daily diet. C. By advancing food processing practices. D. By encouraging people to eat more seafood. 13. What can be inferred from paragraph 4? A. The significance of iodine is much too stressed. B. Many pregnant women may not be acquiring adequate iodine. C. Iodine deficiency is no longer a concern for pregnant women. D. Vitamins are the primary source of iodine for pregnant women. 14. What does the underlined word “resurgence” in paragraph 5 mean? A. reappearance. B. removal. C. resistance. D. reduction. 15. What is the main idea of the article? A. Iodine is of great significance in Americans’ diet. B. Iodized salt is no longer necessary in modern diets. C. The iodine deficiency problem is staging a comeback. D. The once iodine deficiency problem has been rid of now. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选车能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Very few people can say that they have achieved all that they are capable of.

Their little schoolhouse was heated by an old- fashioned coal stove in winter. One chilly morning, the teacher and students arrived, only to find the schoolhouse in flames. Gleen was dragged out of the flaming building, unconscious. The lower half of his body was badly burned and he was immediately sent to a nearby hospital. From his bed, Gleen faintly heard the doctor talking to his parents. “He could hardly survive, ” the doctor said in a low voice, “for the terrible fire had destroyed the lower half of his body. ” “I don’t want to die, mum. ” Gleen told his mother. He was determined to survive. To the doctor’s amazement, he did survive. When the serious danger was past, he again heard the doctor and his parents speaking quietly. “He was bound to be disabled for life, ” the doctor whispered, “since the fire had destroyed so much flesh in the lower part of his body. He can’t walk like a normal person. ” “I will walk, dad. ” Gleen told his father. Once more, the brave boy made up his mind. He would not be disabled. But unfortunately, he has no feeling from the waist down. His thin legs just hung there, lifeless. Ultimately, he was discharged from the hospital. Back home, Gleen’s mother would squeeze and rub his little legs every day, hoping to help them recover, but it made little difference. He was either in bed or attached to a wheelchair. Yet his determination that he would walk never faded. Instead, he kept thinking about how to make himself stand up and walk again. On a lovely summer day, as usual, Gleen was wheeled out into the yard for some fresh air, where his father had just built a fence by driving the stakes (木桩) into the grassland. Sitting in the wheelchair, Gleen was staring at the fence around the yard. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 It occurred to him that he could make the most of the fence. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After that, Gleen began to do this every day until he made a flat path beside the fence. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
