There are plenty of places around the world when it comes to colourful autumn scenery. Here are 4 for you to explore. The Cotswolds, England People who come to England searching for classic countryside scenes usually head to the Cotswolds. The rolling hills, narrow roads and historic villages are attractive. The orange, red and gold leaves add to the scenery (风景) and not surprisingly, the Cotswolds is most famous for its long-distance hiking paths. You can visit the historic university town of Oxford. Bavaria, Germany Bavaria often has Oktoberfest (啤酒节) in fall. Smaller towns might have their own Oktoberfest, but you can also see some of Europe’s most beautiful fall colours in Bavaria’s non-urban (非城市的) regions. There are several paths that run through the region’s forests. A couple of these paths pass near Neuschwanstein Castle, a beautiful structure that is the perfect backdrop for the sea of orange and red leaves. Pitlochry, Scotland The Scottish Highlands can be the perfect place to see fall leaves. Parts of the place are famous for their treeless landscapes, but the land around Pitlochry is covered by forests. Apart from gazing at the leaves, there are plenty of other activities in Pitlochry. You can see lots of animals. The salmon make their run upriver in the fall as well. Transylvania, Romania Tourists who visit Transylvania in fall will see plenty of colourful trees. Like other cities in Eastern Europe, parts of Transylvania’s capital are very urban. The city can serve as a base for exploring the area, but you can also see some picturesque leaves without travelling to the countryside. 1. What is Cotswold best-known for? A. Rolling hills. B. Narrow roads. C. Small villages. D. Hiking paths. 2. Where can you see animals according to the text? A. In the Cotswolds. B. In Bavaria. C. In Pitlochry. D. In Transylvania. 3. What do the four places have in common? A. They all have a long history. B. They all offer treeless scenery. C. They are places where you can enjoy beaches. D. They offer chances to enjoy colourful leaves. 【答案】1. D 2. C 3. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。这是一篇介绍秋季旅行目的地的文章。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The orange, red and gold leaves add to the scenery (风景) and not surprisingly, the Cotswolds is most famous for its long-distance hiking paths.(橙色、红色和金色的树叶增添了风景，毫不奇怪，科茨沃尔德以其长途徒步旅行路线而闻名)”可知，科茨沃尔德最著名的是它的长途徒步小径。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Apart from gazing at the leaves, there are plenty of other activities in Pitlochry. You can see lots of animals.(除了看树叶，在Pitlochry还有很多其他的活动。你可以看到很多动物)”可知，在皮特洛赫里可以看到动物。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The orange, red and gold leaves add to the scenery (风景) and not surprisingly, the Cotswolds is most famous for its long-distance hiking paths.(橙色、红色和金色的树叶增添了风景，毫不奇怪，科茨沃尔德以其长途徒步旅行路线而闻名)”；第三段“A couple of these paths pass near Neuschwanstein Castle, a beautiful structure that is the perfect backdrop for the sea of orange and red leaves.(其中几条小路经过新天鹅堡附近，这座美丽的建筑是橙色和红色树叶海洋的完美背景)”；第四段“The Scottish Highlands can be the perfect place to see fall leaves.(苏格兰高地是观赏落叶的绝佳地点)”以及最后一段“Tourists who visit Transylvania in fall will see plenty of colourful trees.(秋天来特兰西瓦尼亚旅游的游客会看到许多五颜六色的树木)”可知，它们都提供欣赏多彩树叶的机会。故选D。 B Does adventure have an age limit? Two close friends have given a negative answer to the question. Ellie Hamby and Sandy Hazelip, both at the age of 81, inspired by Jules Verne’s novel Around the World in 80 Days, are on a mission to see all seven continents in just over two and a half months. Their first stop was a location that was not easily accessible to even many experienced travelers: Antarctica. Getting to the southernmost continent first required crossing the Drake Passage, the famously rough waters. “For almost two days, we were rocking and rolling and slipping and sliding through the Drake Passage. It was just wild,” Hamby said. “But when we stepped foot on the ground of the Antarctic, we forgot all of that. The beauty of the Antarctic is just unbelievable — just breath-taking.” Over the past three months, the pair have ridden camels in Egypt, met elephants in Bali, and observed the Northern Lights in Finland. For Hamby, the best part of the trip was not the beauty along the way. “We love all the sights that we saw, but the things that we remember the most are the people that we met,” she said. “We met some of the kindest and friendliest people in the world. We just have friends now all over the world.” When it came to how their families felt about their journey, Hamby said her daughter Louise was not too concerned. “She just says, ‘Well, if Mom falls out of a hot air balloon in Egypt or off of the mountain ... That’s fine. She’s living the life she wanted to live, and I’m happy for her,’” Hamby said. Hazelip hopes their story can inspire people of all ages. “Don’t sit in that chair and waste away,” Hazelip said. “Ellie has this wonderful saying; it goes ‘the world is a book and he who does not travel only reads one page’. So get up out of that easy chair, step out of your comfort zone, make some plans and live. Remember that age is only a number.” 4. Which words can best describe Hamby and Hazelip’s journey to Antarctica? A. Adventurous but wonderful. B. Boring and uneventful. C. Well-planned and smooth. D. Romantic but fruitless. 5. What was the most unforgettable part of the trip for Hamby? A. Seeing beautiful scenes. B. Meeting wonderful people. C. Experiencing different cultures. D. Having her best friend’s company. 6. What was Louise’s attitude to her mother’s journey? A. Uncertain. B. Indifferent. C. Supportive. D. Concerned. 7. What message does Hazelip most want to give us? A. It’s never too old to learn. B. A friend for life is a friend indeed. C. Seeing the world is not a must for the old. D. It’s never too late to live life to the fullest. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了81岁的Ellie Hamby和Sandy Hazelip受《环游世界八十天》启发，在两个半月内游览七大洲的故事。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Getting to the southernmost continent first required crossing the Drake Passage, the famously rough waters. ‘For almost two days, we were rocking and rolling and slipping and sliding through the Drake Passage. It was just wild,’ Hamby said. ‘But when we stepped foot on the ground of the Antarctic, we forgot all of that. The beauty of the Antarctic is just unbelievable — just breath-taking’.(要到达最南端的大陆，首先要穿越著名的汹涌水域德雷克海峡。Hamby说：‘在德雷克海峡，我们几乎两天都在摇晃、翻滚、滑动。这太疯狂了。’但当我们踏上南极的土地时，我们把这一切都忘了。南极的美令人难以置信——简直令人叹为观止’。)”可知，他们的南极之旅虽然冒险但是非常美妙。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“For Hamby, the best part of the trip was not the beauty along the way. ‘We love all the sights that we saw, but the things that we remember the most are the people that we met,’ she said. ‘We met some of the kindest and friendliest people in the world. We just have friends now all over the world’.(对Hamby来说，旅途中最美好的部分并不是沿途的美景。她说：‘我们喜欢我们所看到的一切景色，但我们记得最清楚的是我们遇到的人。我们遇到了一些世界上最善良、最友好的人。现在我们在世界各地都有朋友’。)”可知，对Hamby来说，这次旅行中最难忘的部分是遇到很棒的人。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“When it came to how their families felt about their journey, Hamby said her daughter Louise was not too concerned. ‘She just says, ‘Well, if Mom falls out of a hot air balloon in Egypt or off of the mountain … That’s fine. She’s living the life she wanted to live, and I’m happy for her,’ Hamby said.(当谈到家人对他们的旅行有何感想时，Hamby说她的女儿Louise并不太担心。Hamby说：‘她只是说，‘好吧，如果妈妈在埃及从热气球上掉下来，或者从山上掉下来……那也没关系。她过着自己想要的生活，我为她感到高兴’。)”可知，Louise对她母亲的旅行是持支持态度的。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Hazelip hopes their story can inspire people of all ages. ‘Don’t sit in that chair and waste away,’ Hazelip said. ‘Ellie has this wonderful saying; it goes ‘the world is a book and he who does not travel only reads one page’. So get up out of that easy chair, step out of your comfort zone, make some plans and live. Remember that age is only a number’.(Hazelip希望他们的故事能激励各个年龄段的人。Hazelip说：‘不要坐在椅子上虚度光阴。Ellie有一句很棒的话：世界是一本书，不旅行的人只读了一页。所以从舒适的椅子上站起来，走出你的舒适区，制定一些计划，好好生活。记住，年龄只是一个数字’。)”可知，Hazelip最想给我们传达的信息是活出精彩人生，永远为时不晚。故选D。 C Being able to run 26. 2 miles means you’ re in good health, right? Not exactly. We’ve already found some of the benefits (好处) of long-distance running, but now we’ll see the darker side of the marathon. Marathoners who die in training or on the race course usually make headlines because these tragedies seem so unusual — who could be in better health and less likely to die than a runner? At the age of 52, Jim Fixx, a celebrated runner, died in 1984. In this condition, the arteries (动脉) walls become thickened, causing less blood to flow through them. In 2007, 28-year-old Ryan Shay died while competing in the U. S. Olympic marathon trials. His death was caused by an irregular (不规则的) heartbeat. It’s obvious that running affects the heart, but did you know running can increase the size of the heart? Hearts can become bigger when an athlete is doing physical training. The body supply the increased amount of blood needed by increasing the size of the organ. After that the hearts can lead to irregular heartbeat, which can lead to heart failure. Some marathoners think their fitness level absolves them from health problems. This simply isn’t the case. Medical examinations can find the risk factors that kill and injure runners. There are ways to reduce your risk factors. Don’t think you can eat or drink whatever you want because running will burn off the calories — diets rich in fat can lead to heart problems. In addition to these life-threatening aspects of the sport, there are other sports injuries to be aware of. Most of these are overuse or over-training injuries that can be prevented by resting properly. While you should approach the sport with caution (谨慎) , you should also have fun running. 8. Why were the examples of Jim Fixx and Ryan Sha y given? A. To show the possible danger of the marathon. B. To take pity on their death. C. To tell the importance of regular exercise. D. To call on people not to exercise by themselves. 9. How does the heart manage to provide the increased need of blood? A. By beating faster. B. By enlarging itself. C. By beating more heavily. D. By working with other body parts. 10. What does the underlined word “absolves” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Shapes. B. Separates. C. Frees. D. Advises. 11. What does the author suggest in the last paragraph? A. Having a rest after injuries. B. Paying more attention to other injuries. C. Stopping running completely. D. Being careful and having fun running. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了马拉松这项运动的负面影响，包括可能导致的健康问题和其他运动损伤。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Marathoners who die in training or on the race course usually make headlines because these tragedies seem so unusual — who could be in better health and less likely to die than a runner? At the age of 52, Jim Fixx, a celebrated runner, died in 1984. In this condition, the arteries (动脉) walls become thickened, causing less blood to flow through them. In 2007, 28-year-old Ryan Shay died while competing in the U. S. Olympic marathon trials. His death was caused by an irregular (不规则的) heartbeat.(马拉松运动员在训练或比赛中死亡通常会成为头条新闻，因为这些悲剧看起来太不寻常了——谁能比跑步者更健康，更不容易死亡呢？著名跑步运动员吉姆·菲克斯于1984年去世，享年52岁。在这种情况下，动脉壁变厚，导致流经它们的血液减少。2007年，28岁的Ryan Shay在参加美国奥运会马拉松选拔赛时死亡。他死于心律不齐)”可知，举吉姆·菲克斯和瑞安·沙伊的例子是为了表明马拉松可能存在的危险。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Hearts can become bigger when an athlete is doing physical training. The body supply the increased amount of blood needed by increasing the size of the organ.(当运动员进行体育训练时，心脏会变得更大。身体通过增大器官的大小来供应所需的更多的血液)”可知，心脏通过扩大自身来满足不断增加的血液需求。故选B。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“them from health problems(……他们……健康问题)”以及“This simply isn’t the case. Medical examinations can find the risk factors that kill and injure runners.(事实并非如此。医学检查可以发现导致跑步者死亡和受伤的危险因素)”可知，划线词所在句提出了相反的事实，说明一些马拉松运动员认为他们的健康水平使他们免受健康问题的困扰。故划线词意思是“使……免于”。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In addition to these life-threatening aspects of the sport, there are other sports injuries to be aware of. Most of these are overuse or over-training injuries that can be prevented by resting properly. While you should approach the sport with caution (谨慎) , you should also have fun running.(除了这些运动中危及生命的方面，还有其他需要注意的运动损伤。这些大多是过度使用或过度训练造成的损伤，可以通过适当的休息来预防。虽然你应该谨慎地进行这项运动，但你也应该享受跑步的乐趣)”可知，作者在最后一段暗示了小心并享受跑步的乐趣。故选D。 D Earth, our home, is the third planet from the sun. While scientists continue to hunt for life beyond Earth, our home planet remains the only place for human beings to live. On it, everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of lived out their lives. That’s home. That’s us. Our Earth is a book written by Jane Calame. It’s also a helpful guide to caring for our planet. Our planet is unique for many reasons, but its fresh water and oxygen (氧气) are two key things. Water covers about 71% of Earth’s surface, with most of that water lying in our planet’s oceans. About a fifth of the air is oxygen, produced by plants. But water and air pollution is becoming more and more serious. The state of the natural world is alarming, making it a must for us to be knowledgeable about. But the future of Earth doesn’t have to be a negative one. This amazing children’s book has some cheerful pictures as it explains the planet we live on. By providing ideas for ways in which we can all look after Earth in a workable and child-friendly manner (方式), Our Earth is the perfect book for educating environmentalists or any member of the next generation. The delightful (令人愉快的) pictures and easy-to-understand language make the underlying message in this book simple, and children aged eight or above will enjoy reading it. Whether you choose to walk and ride your bike to school, or you’re sorting out your rubbish, or live a greener life with a good habit of little things, Our Earth teaches the reader that we can all play a part in shaping the future of the planet, no matter how small the action or how young the person is. 12. What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To present a new discovery. B. To show we are a family on Earth. C. To introduce the topic of the text. D. To explain the secret of Earth. 13. What makes Our Earth a perfect book to educate children? A. Its clear ideas. B. Its writing style. C. Its colourful pictures. D. Its useful knowledge. 14. What may the author agree with? A. Every small act counts. B. Strike while the iron is hot. C. He who laughs last laughs best. D. A friend in need is a friend indeed. 15. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. A review of a play. B. A story on the Earth. C. An introduction to a book. D. An advertisement for an activity. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了《我们的地球》这本书。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Earth, our home, is the third planet from the sun. While scientists continue to hunt for life beyond Earth, our home planet remains the only place for human beings to live. On it, everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of lived out their lives. That’s home. That’s us.(地球，我们的家园，是离太阳第三远的行星。当科学家们继续寻找地球以外的生命时，我们的家园仍然是人类唯一的居住地。你爱的人，你认识的人，你听说过的人都在上面度过了他们的一生。是家。是我们)”可推知，第一段对地球的描述是为了引出本文话题。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The delightful (令人愉快的) pictures and easy-to-understand language make the underlying message in this book simple, and children aged eight or above will enjoy reading it.(赏心悦目的图片和易于理解的语言，使本书的潜在信息简单明了，适合八岁或以上的儿童阅读)”可知，《我们的地球》的写作方式使这本书成为一本完美的教育儿童的书。故选B。 14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Whether you choose to walk and ride your bike to school, or you’re sorting out your rubbish, or live a greener life with a good habit of little things, Our Earth teaches the reader that we can all play a part in shaping the future of the planet, no matter how small the action or how young the person is.(无论你是选择步行或骑自行车上学，还是选择整理垃圾，抑或是养成小事小事的好习惯，过一种更环保的生活，《我们的地球》都告诉读者，我们都可以在塑造地球的未来中发挥作用，无论我们的行动多么微不足道，无论我们多么年轻)”可推知，作者认为：每一个小的行为都很重要。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Our Earth is a book written by Jane Calame.(《我们地球》是简·卡拉姆写的一本书)”以及第三段“By providing ideas for ways in which we can all look after Earth in a workable and child- friendly manner (方式), Our Earth is the perfect book for educating environmentalists or any member of the next generation.(《我们的地球》一书为我们提供了一些可行的、对儿童友好的方式来照顾地球的方法，是一本教育环保主义者或任何下一代成员的完美书籍)”可推知，文章可能选自对《我们的地球》这本书的介绍。故选C。 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。 A Few Simple Ways to Get Inspired Many creative people are famous for their strange ways of finding inspiration (灵感). Inspiration is not easy to get, so it’s no wonder people chase (追逐) after it in strange ways. But you don’t have to go to extremes. ___16___ Keep an idea book or an inspiration board. Inspiration might not come all at once. ___17___ With an idea book or a vision board, you can keep track of these puzzle pieces and use them to find inspiration later on. If you like working with words, create an idea book where you can write down ideas. If you’ re more visual (视觉的), take pictures that inspire you and turn them into a vision board. ___18___ Many people go to sleep and wake up inspired. While most sleep refreshes your brain, rapid eye movement (REM) sleep is especially good at prompting (推动) inspiration. Alternating between REM and non-REM sleep helps your brain reshape networks, making you more likely to think up ideas when you wake up. Spend time in nature. ___19___ And nature has inspired a long line of artists. E. B. White came up with the story for Charlotte’s Web after watching a spider make her net. Researchers have also found that spending time in nature improves cognitive (认知的) ability, setting you up to make more connections between ideas. Play and laugh. Spending some of your free time with children can· bring inspiration closer to the surface. Your creativity decreases as you age, and children are experts in play, which is all about experimenting and opening up new possibilities. Looking at the world through open eyes can be a powerful source of creative inspiration. Humour and laughter can also lead to inspiration. ___20___ A. Go to sleep. B. Stick to your sleeping habit. C. Even just reading a book could prompt inspiration. D. Experts recommend using humour at work to get ideas. E. You may experience tiny flashes that turn into something big. F. Spending time outside can get you into a more open headspace. G. Here are things you can try when your creative juices have run dry. 【答案】16. G 17. E 18. A 19. F 20. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了获得灵感的几个方法。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Many creative people are famous for their strange ways of finding inspiration (灵感). Inspiration is not easy to get, so it’s no wonder people chase (追逐) after it in strange ways. But you don’t have to go to extremes.(许多有创造力的人以他们寻找灵感的奇怪方式而闻名。灵感不容易得到，所以难怪人们用奇怪的方式追求它。但你不必走极端)”以及后文主要介绍了获得灵感的几个方法。故G选项“当你的创造力枯竭时，你可以试试下面这些方法”符合语境，故选G。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Inspiration might not come all at once.(灵感可能不会一蹴而就)”可知，上文提到灵感可能不会一蹴而就，说明灵感的到来有一个过程。E选项“你可能会经历一些微小的灵光一闪，它们最终会发展成宏大的事物”承接上文并呼应下文“With an idea book or a vision board, you can keep track of these puzzle pieces and use them to find inspiration later on.(通过一本创意笔记或一张愿景板，你可以记录下这些零散的想法，并在日后用它们来寻找灵感)”,符合语境，故选E。 【18题详解】 根据本段内容“Many people go to sleep and wake up inspired. While most sleep refreshes your brain, rapid eye movement (REM) sleep is especially good at prompting (推动) inspiration. Alternating between REM and non-REM sleep helps your brain reshape networks, making you more likely to think up ideas when you wake up.(许多人入睡后，醒来时都充满灵感。虽然大多数睡眠都能让你的大脑焕然一新，但快速眼动(REM)睡眠尤其能激发灵感。在快速眼动和非快速眼动睡眠之间交替可以帮助你的大脑重塑网络，让你在醒来时更容易想出新点子)”可知，本段的建议是通过睡觉获得灵感。故A选项“去睡觉”符合语境，故选A。 【19题详解】 根据后文“And nature has inspired a long line of artists. E. B. White came up with the story for Charlotte’s Web after watching a spider make her net. Researchers have also found that spending time in nature improves cognitive (认知的) ability, setting you up to make more connections between ideas.(大自然也启发了一大批艺术家。E. B. White在看了一只蜘蛛织网之后想出了《夏洛的网》的故事。研究人员还发现，花时间在大自然中可以提高认知能力，帮助你建立起更多的思维联系)”可知，后文主要说明了去大自然或户外可以带来灵感。故F选项“花时间在户外可以让你进入一个更开放的头脑空间”符合语境，故选F。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Humour and laughter can also lead to inspiration.(幽默和笑声也能带来灵感)”可知，上文提到了幽默和笑声也能带来灵感，本句为本段最后一句，故承接上文，说明幽默的作用，D选项中humour对应上文Humour。故D选项“专家建议在工作中运用幽默来获得灵感”符合语境，故选D。 第三部分 语言运用（共二节, 满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分, 共15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白最佳选项。 My mother only has a fifth-grade education.

One evening he came home and told us his company was sending him to another city. At first, I didn’t worry, thinking it might be a short trip or just a small change. But then he added that because he and Mom would both be very busy, I would have to go to a boarding (寄宿) school. The word “boarding” made me unhappy. It meant leaving my neighborhood, my old school, and most of all, my best friend June. June and I grew up together. We rode bikes in the summer, shared secrets at night, and laughed until our stomachs hurt. When I told her about the move, she tried to smile. “It’s okay,” she said quickly. “We’ll call every weekend. We’ll always be best friends,” she added. I wanted to believe her, so I agreed, holding on to her promise. Still, deep inside, a small voice raised doubts: Would things really stay the same once I left? The new school was nothing like home. The buildings were big, and the students all were friendly, but I still missed home and June. At Saturday night, I sat on my dormitory (学生宿舍) bed waiting for June’s call. At first, we talked a lot, but soon our calls grew shorter. Sometimes she didn’t answer right away. When she did, she often talked about a new student named Emily. “Emily is so cool,” June said once, laughing through the phone. I forced myself to laugh too, but inside I felt hurt. I told myself I didn’t care, but the truth was that I cared too much. I imagined Emily taking my place, walking beside June, and telling her jokes that used to be mine. I grew jealous (妒忌的). Soon I stopped answering her calls. I left her texts unread. At night, I cried quietly into my pillow, telling myself June didn’t need me anymore. 注意： (1) 续写词数应为150个左右; (2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 One Saturday morning, I heard my name called outside the dormitory. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next afternoon, I saw June off at the train station. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 One Saturday morning, I heard my name called outside the dormitory. To my surprise, it was June, her eyes tired from the long journey. She told me she had been worried when I stopped answering her calls. After begging her parents for permission, she decided to visit me. Sitting together on the bench, she explained gently, “You and Emily are both my friends, but you are unique.” I heard those words, and my sadness melted away. The fear that had been pressing on me for weeks lifted, replaced by the warmth of knowing I still mattered to her. The next afternoon, I saw June off at the train station. We stood there, not wanting to let go, our eyes filled with both sadness and hope. The train whistle blew, pulling us apart, but inside I felt steady. I knew distance would never break what we shared. There would be phone calls, messages, and visits, each one keeping our ties alive. Walking back alone, I realized true friendship is not measured by how often we are together, but by the certainty that we remain close, even miles apart. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了作者因父亲工作变动转学寄宿，担心与挚友June的友谊变淡，产生妒忌与失落，最终通过June的到访解开误会、领悟真挚友谊真谛的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“一个星期六的早上，我听到宿舍外面有人叫我的名字。” 可知，第一段可描写作者听到呼唤后的意外反应、发现来访者是June时的心情，两人的见面场景，以及June解释误会、安抚情绪的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天下午，我去火车站送June。”可知，第二段可描写火车站送别时的不舍场景，两人的互动，以及作者在送别后对友谊的深刻感悟，明确距离无法阻隔真挚友谊的核心思想。 2.续写线索：June到访——解释来访原因——主人公的悲伤消失——火车站分别——主人公意识到真正的友谊的内涵 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①拜访：visit sb./pay sb. a visit/call on sb. ②解释：explain/account for/make an explanation ③独自走回去：walk back alone/return by myself/go back on my own 情绪类 ①令某人吃惊的是：to one’s surprise/to one’s great astonishment ②悲伤：sadness/sorrow 【点睛】【高分 句型1】She told me she had been worried when I stopped answering her calls.（运用了when引导的时间状语从句和省略that的宾语从句） 【高分句型2】I knew distance would never break what we shared.（运用了that引导的宾语从句，that省略，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 $ 巩义中学高一年级上期期中考试英语学科试题卷 （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分） 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。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.

There are plenty of places around the world when it comes to colourful autumn scenery. Here are 4 for you to explore. The Cotswolds, England People who come to England searching for classic countryside scenes usually head to the Cotswolds. The rolling hills, narrow roads and historic villages are attractive. The orange, red and gold leaves add to the scenery (风景) and not surprisingly, the Cotswolds is most famous for its long-distance hiking paths. You can visit the historic university town of Oxford. Bavaria, Germany Bavaria often has Oktoberfest (啤酒节) in fall. Smaller towns might have their own Oktoberfest, but you can also see some of Europe’s most beautiful fall colours in Bavaria’s non-urban (非城市的) regions. There are several paths that run through the region’s forests. A couple of these paths pass near Neuschwanstein Castle, a beautiful structure that is the perfect backdrop for the sea of orange and red leaves. Pitlochry, Scotland The Scottish Highlands can be the perfect place to see fall leaves. Parts of the place are famous for their treeless landscapes, but the land around Pitlochry is covered by forests. Apart from gazing at the leaves, there are plenty of other activities in Pitlochry. You can see lots of animals. The salmon make their run upriver in the fall as well. Transylvania, Romania Tourists who visit Transylvania in fall will see plenty of colourful trees. Like other cities in Eastern Europe, parts of Transylvania’s capital are very urban. The city can serve as a base for exploring the area, but you can also see some picturesque leaves without travelling to the countryside. 1. What is Cotswold best-known for? A. Rolling hills. B. Narrow roads. C. Small villages. D. Hiking paths. 2. Where can you see animals according to the text? A. In the Cotswolds. B. In Bavaria. C. In Pitlochry. D. In Transylvania. 3. What do the four places have in common? A. They all have a long history. B. They all offer treeless scenery. C. They are places where you can enjoy beaches. D. They offer chances to enjoy colourful leaves. B Does adventure have an age limit? Two close friends have given a negative answer to the question. Ellie Hamby and Sandy Hazelip, both at the age of 81, inspired by Jules Verne’s novel Around the World in 80 Days, are on a mission to see all seven continents in just over two and a half months. Their first stop was a location that was not easily accessible to even many experienced travelers: Antarctica. Getting to the southernmost continent first required crossing the Drake Passage, the famously rough waters. “For almost two days, we were rocking and rolling and slipping and sliding through the Drake Passage. It was just wild,” Hamby said. “But when we stepped foot on the ground of the Antarctic, we forgot all of that. The beauty of the Antarctic is just unbelievable — just breath-taking.” Over the past three months, the pair have ridden camels in Egypt, met elephants in Bali, and observed the Northern Lights in Finland. For Hamby, the best part of the trip was not the beauty along the way. “We love all the sights that we saw, but the things that we remember the most are the people that we met,” she said. “We met some of the kindest and friendliest people in the world. We just have friends now all over the world.” When it came to how their families felt about their journey, Hamby said her daughter Louise was not too concerned. “She just says, ‘Well, if Mom falls out of a hot air balloon in Egypt or off of the mountain ... That’s fine. She’s living the life she wanted to live, and I’m happy for her,’” Hamby said. Hazelip hopes their story can inspire people of all ages. “Don’t sit in that chair and waste away” Hazelip said. “Ellie has this wonderful saying; it goes ‘the world is a book and he who does not travel only reads one page’. So get up out of that easy chair, step out of your comfort zone, make some plans and live. Remember that age is only a number.” 4. Which words can best describe Hamby and Hazelip’s journey to Antarctica? A. Adventurous but wonderful. B. Boring and uneventful. C. Well-planned and smooth. D. Romantic but fruitless. 5. What was the most unforgettable part of the trip for Hamby? A. Seeing beautiful scenes. B. Meeting wonderful people. C. Experiencing different cultures. D. Having her best friend’s company. 6. What was Louise’s attitude to her mother’s journey? A. Uncertain. B. Indifferent. C. Supportive. D. Concerned. 7. What message does Hazelip most want to give us? A. It’s never too old to learn. B. A friend for life is a friend indeed. C. Seeing the world is not a must for the old. D. It’s never too late to live life to the fullest. C Being able to run 26. 2 miles means you’ re in good health, right? Not exactly. We’ve already found some of the benefits (好处) of long-distance running, but now we’ll see the darker side of the marathon. Marathoners who die in training or on the race course usually make headlines because these tragedies seem so unusual — who could be in better health and less likely to die than a runner? At the age of 52, Jim Fixx, a celebrated runner, died in 1984. In this condition, the arteries (动脉) walls become thickened, causing less blood to flow through them. In 2007, 28-year-old Ryan Shay died while competing in the U. S. Olympic marathon trials. His death was caused by an irregular (不规则的) heartbeat. It’s obvious that running affects the heart, but did you know running can increase the size of the heart? Hearts can become bigger when an athlete is doing physical training. The body supply the increased amount of blood needed by increasing the size of the organ. After that the hearts can lead to irregular heartbeat, which can lead to heart failure. Some marathoners think their fitness level absolves them from health problems. This simply isn’t the case. Medical examinations can find the risk factors that kill and injure runners. There are ways to reduce your risk factors. Don’t think you can eat or drink whatever you want because running will burn off the calories — diets rich in fat can lead to heart problems. In addition to these life-threatening aspects of the sport, there are other sports injuries to be aware of. Most of these are overuse or over-training injuries that can be prevented by resting properly. While you should approach the sport with caution (谨慎) , you should also have fun running. 8. Why were the examples of Jim Fixx and Ryan Sha y given? A. To show the possible danger of the marathon. B. To take pity on their death. C. To tell the importance of regular exercise. D. To call on people not to exercise by themselves. 9. How does the heart manage to provide the increased need of blood? A. By beating faster. B. By enlarging itself. C. By beating more heavily. D. By working with other body parts. 10. What does the underlined word “absolves” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Shapes. B. Separates. C. Frees. D. Advises. 11 What does the author suggest in the last paragraph? A. Having a rest after injuries. B. Paying more attention to other injuries. C. Stopping running completely. D. Being careful and having fun running. D Earth, our home, is the third planet from the sun. While scientists continue to hunt for life beyond Earth, our home planet remains the only place for human beings to live. On it, everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of lived out their lives. That’s home. That’s us. Our Earth is a book written by Jane Calame. It’s also a helpful guide to caring for our planet. Our planet is unique for many reasons, but its fresh water and oxygen (氧气) are two key things. Water covers about 71% of Earth’s surface, with most of that water lying in our planet’s oceans. About a fifth of the air is oxygen, produced by plants. But water and air pollution is becoming more and more serious. The state of the natural world is alarming, making it a must for us to be knowledgeable about. But the future of Earth doesn’t have to be a negative one. This amazing children’s book has some cheerful pictures as it explains the planet we live on. By providing ideas for ways in which we can all look after Earth in a workable and child-friendly manner (方式), Our Earth is the perfect book for educating environmentalists or any member of the next generation. The delightful (令人愉快的) pictures and easy-to-understand language make the underlying message in this book simple, and children aged eight or above will enjoy reading it. Whether you choose to walk and ride your bike to school, or you’re sorting out your rubbish, or live a greener life with a good habit of little things, Our Earth teaches the reader that we can all play a part in shaping the future of the planet, no matter how small the action or how young the person is. 12. What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To present a new discovery. B. To show we are a family on Earth. C. To introduce the topic of the text. D. To explain the secret of Earth. 13. What makes Our Earth a perfect book to educate children? A. Its clear ideas. B. Its writing style. C. Its colourful pictures. D. Its useful knowledge. 14. What may the author agree with? A. Every small act counts. B. Strike while the iron is hot. C. He who laughs last laughs best. D. A friend in need is a friend indeed. 15. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. A review of a play. B. A story on the Earth. C. An introduction to a book. D.

One evening he came home and told us his company was sending him to another city. At first, I didn’t worry, thinking it might be a short trip or just a small change. But then he added that because he and Mom would both be very busy, I would have to go to a boarding (寄宿) school. The word “boarding” made me unhappy. It meant leaving my neighborhood, my old school, and most of all, my best friend June. June and I grew up together. We rode bikes in the summer, shared secrets at night, and laughed until our stomachs hurt. When I told her about the move, she tried to smile. “It’s okay,” she said quickly. “We’ll call every weekend. We’ll always be best friends,” she added. I wanted to believe her, so I agreed, holding on to her promise. Still, deep inside, a small voice raised doubts: Would things really stay the same once I left? The new school was nothing like home. The buildings were big, and the students all were friendly, but I still missed home and June. At Saturday night, I sat on my dormitory (学生宿舍) bed waiting for June’s call. At first, we talked a lot, but soon our calls grew shorter. Sometimes she didn’t answer right away. When she did, she often talked about a new student named Emily. “Emily is so cool,” June said once, laughing through the phone. I forced myself to laugh too, but inside I felt hurt. I told myself I didn’t care, but the truth was that I cared too much. I imagined Emily taking my place, walking beside June, and telling her jokes that used to be mine. I grew jealous (妒忌的). Soon I stopped answering her calls. I left her texts unread. At night, I cried quietly into my pillow, telling myself June didn’t need me anymore. 注意： (1) 续写词数应为150个左右; (2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 One Saturday morning, I heard my name called outside the dormitory. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next afternoon, I saw June off at the train station. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
