By January 2023, she’d lost her ability to complete everyday tasks. She was set on staying in her home and resisted the in-home care. I guessed it was because of what it represented: the acceptance of a disease that would slowly rob her of her memories and the ability to take care of herself. We had to make the hard choice of finding her a nursing home for her safety and well-being. But we knew she wouldn’t be interested. So, we made up an excuse, telling her that it was an opportunity to spend the winter near my brother in sunny Florida while living at an apartment we had arranged for her. My mum wasn’t the soft, affectionate mother I often longed for. She had never shown or talked about her feelings, but she was a great example of a hard-working, independent, entrepreneurial woman. My brother and I both have our own businesses, which is something she showed us was possible. Since her diagnosis, watching her battle with accepting what was happening to her was heartbreaking, but I also felt closer to her when she began to express and share her feelings with me like a kid. My brother arrived to meet us and we were shown to her apartment. A small kitchen, a living room, a bathroom, and two bedrooms — one for her, and one for me and my brother to stay in when we visited. She seemed happy during moving in. For the next 10 days, I lived with her there. We went to meals together, reviewed the activity schedule, and I dropped her off and picked her up like a child at school. The day came when I had to fly home, and I cried. As I shifted from being her daughter to being more like her parent, I realized how hard being a mother can be. 4. Why might the author’s mother resist in-home care? A. She preferred living alone. B. She disliked the caregivers. C. She feared losing independence. D. She intended to move to Florida. 5. How did the author and her brother convince their mother to move to the nursing home? A. They told her a white lie. B. They threatened her to go. C. They offered her a free apartment. D. They agreed to keep her company. 6. What kind of person was the author’s mother before the diagnosis? A. Talkative and determined. B. Reserved but responsible. C. Energetic and gentle. D. Creative but cold. 7. How does the author feel after her role change? A. Confused. B. Content. C. Awkward. D. Appreciative. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者母亲患阿尔茨海默病后，作者和兄弟为其找养老院并陪伴的经历及感受。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“She was set on staying in her home and resisted the in-home care. I guessed it was because of what it represented: the acceptance of a disease that would slowly rob her of her memories and the ability to take care of herself.(她执意要留在自己家中，拒绝居家护理服务。我猜想，这是因为居家护理对她而言意味着接受一种会慢慢剥夺她记忆和自理能力的疾病。)”可知，作者母亲拒绝居家护理是因为她害怕失去独立生活的能力。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“So, we made up an excuse, telling her that it was an opportunity to spend the winter near my brother in sunny Florida while living at an apartment we had arranged for her.(所以，我们编了个借口，告诉她这是一个机会，可以在阳光明媚的佛罗里达州我哥哥附近过冬，同时住在我们为她安排的公寓里。)”可知，作者和她的兄弟对母亲说了一个善意的谎言，说服她搬到养老院。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“My mum wasn’t the soft, affectionate mother I often longed for. She had never shown or talked about her feelings, but she was a great example of a hard-working, independent, entrepreneurial woman.(我妈妈不是我经常渴望的那种温柔、深情的母亲。她从未表现或谈论过自己的感受，但她是一个勤劳、独立、有创业精神的女性的典范。)”可推知，作者的母亲在确诊前是一个内敛但有责任心的人。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“As I shifted from being her daughter to being more like her parent, I realized how hard being a mother can be.(当我从她的女儿转变为更像她的父母时，我意识到做母亲有多难。)”可知，作者在角色转变后，感到母亲的艰辛，因此很感激母亲。故选D。 C At first look, the playground at the Children’s Guild-Transformation Academy in Baltimore, Maryland, looks like any other. It has swings, slides, and places for children to climb and crawl. But the playground is not just a place for fun. It is also a place where students can learn, grow and gain independence. Everything — from the kind of surface it sits on, to the color of its sitting areas, to the placement of the surrounding fence — is specifically designed for kids with autism (自闭症). Mark Rapaport is the managing director of autism services at the Transformation Academy. He said the school accepts students aged 5 to 21 with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and are lower-functioning. Rapaport said the goal of Transformation Academy is to make the students as independent as possible in an effort to help them prepare for adult life. The school aims to provide help with developing communication and social skills, as well as practical abilities like cleaning or cooking. The playground designed by Maryland company Sparks@Play, using structures manufactured by Landscape Structures, Inc. took a month to develop, said Dan Hack. He works for Sparks@Play and helped lead the playground’s design. Hack said he and others spent weeks getting to know the students and understanding their needs before any building was started. The design process involved physical therapists, occupational therapists, and other specialists. The huge $500,000 project was funded with support from the state of Maryland and the nonprofit Orokawa Foundation. Parts of the playground that seem small are very important for children with autism and other disabilities. The surrounding fence extends into a wooded area to make it seem more open. And the ground under the play areas is made of soft, but solid materials to support students using wheelchairs or crutches. The benches on the outside of the playground look simple from far away, but are “one of our most inclusive sensory” elements, Hack said. They have many different colors that bring about feelings of calm and curiosity. They are also made with smooth material that can be felt and moved. The academy’s Rapaport said if a child starts to feel uneasy, they can sit down and feel the bench, which can help them relax. 8. Why is the playground in Baltimore designed with special materials? A. To make it superior to other playgrounds. B. To better serve children with autism. C. To improve the quality of the playground. D. To make it easier for kids to climb and crawl. 9. What can we learn from the playground project? A. It took a month to complete the project. B. The design process is simple and easy. C. The result of the project is uncertain. D. It’s a money-consuming project. 10. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The scale and the structure of the playground. B. Ways for kids to free from the stress and relax themselves. C. The underlying logic and reasonable factors of the playground. D. The advantages of the playground for autism and disabled kids. 11. Which best describes the playground in Baltimore? A. Advanced. B. Environmental-friendly. C. Functional. D. Convenient. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了马里兰州巴尔的摩市专门为患有自闭症和其他残障的学生设计了一家游乐场，旨在帮助他们学习、成长和获得独立性，使他们能够更好地融入社会并提高生活质量。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Everything — from the kind of surface it sits on, to the color of its sitting areas, to the placement of the surrounding fence — is specifically designed for kids with autism (自闭症).(一切东西——从它提供的表面座位种类，到它的座位区域的颜色，到周围围栏的位置——都是专门为自闭症儿童设计的)”和最后一段中“And the ground under the play areas is made of soft, but solid materials to support students using wheelchairs or crutches.(游乐区下面的地面是由柔软但坚固的材料制成的，以支持使用轮椅或拐杖的学生)”和“They are also made with smooth material that can be felt and moved. The academy’s Rapaport said if a child starts to feel uneasy, they can sit down and feel the bench, which can help them relax.(它们也是用光滑的材料制成的，可以触摸和移动。该学院的Rapaport说，如果孩子开始感到不安，他们可以坐下来摸摸长凳，这可以帮助他们放松)”可知，巴尔的摩的游乐场要用特殊材料来设计是为了更好地服务自闭症儿童。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段的“The huge $500,000 project was funded with support from the state of Maryland and the nonprofit Orokawa Foundation.(这个耗资50万美元的庞大项目得到了马里兰州和非营利组织小川基金会的支持)”可知，这个操场项目耗资巨大。故选D。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Parts of the playground that seem small are very important for children with autism and other disabilities. The surrounding fence extends into a wooded area to make it seem more open. And the ground under the play areas is made of soft, but solid materials to support students using wheelchairs or crutches. The benches on the outside of the playground look simple from far away, but are ‘one of our most inclusive sensory’ elements, Hack said. They have many different colors that bring about feelings of calm and curiosity. They are also made with smooth material that can be felt and moved. The academy’s Rapaport said if a child starts to feel uneasy, they can sit down and feel the bench, which can help them relax.(操场上看起来很小的部分对患有自闭症和其他残疾的孩子来说非常重要。周围的栅栏延伸到一个树木繁茂的区域，使它看起来更开放。游乐区下面的地面是由柔软但坚固的材料制成的，以支持使用轮椅或拐杖的学生。Hack说，操场外面的长椅从远处看很简单，但却是‘我们最具包容性的感官元素之一’。它们有许多不同的颜色，给人带来平静和好奇的感觉。它们也是用光滑的材料制成的，可以触摸和移动。该学院的拉帕波特说，如果孩子开始感到不安，他们可以坐下来摸摸长凳，这可以帮助他们放松)”可知，最后一段主要讲的是游乐场的设计理念以及包含为自闭症患者带来舒适感觉的因素，即设计游乐场的潜在逻辑和合理因素。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Hack said he and others spent weeks getting to know the students and understanding their needs before any building was started. The design process involved physical therapists, occupational therapists, and other specialists.(Hack说，他和其他人花了几个星期的时间来了解学生，了解他们的需求，然后才开始建造任何建筑。设计过程涉及物理治疗师、职业治疗师和其他专家)”以及最后一段中“And the ground under the play areas is made of soft, but solid materials to support students using wheelchairs or crutches.(游乐区下面的地面是由柔软但坚固的材料制成的，以支持使用轮椅或拐杖的学生)”和“They have many different colors that bring about feelings of calm and curiosity. They are also made with smooth material that can be felt and moved.(它们有许多不同的颜色，给人带来平静和好奇的感觉。它们也是用光滑的材料制成的，可以触摸和移动)”可知，巴尔的摩的操场在建造之前充分了解学生的需求，按照他们的需求而建，故它是有着实用功能的。故选C。 D According to the Solar Energy Industry Association, the number of solar panels installed(安装)has grown rapidly in the past decade, and it has to grow even faster to meet climate goals. But all of that growth will take up a lot of space, and though more and more people accept the concept of solar energy, few like large solar panels to be installed near them. Solar developers want to put up panels as quickly and cheaply as possible, so they haven’t given much thought to what they put under them. Often, they’ll end up filling the area with small stones and using chemicals to control weeds. The result is that many communities, especially in farming regions, see solar farms as destroyers of the soil. “Solar projects need to be good neighbors,” says Jordan Macknick, the head of the Innovative Site Preparation and Impact Reductions on the Environment(InSPIRE)project. “They need to be protectors of the land and contribute to the agricultural economy.” InSPIRE is investigating practical approaches to “low-impact” solar development, which focuses on establishing and operating solar farms in a way that is kinder to the land. One of the easiest low-impact solar strategies is providing habitat for pollinators(传粉昆虫). Habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change have caused dramatic declines in pollinator populations over the past couple of decades, which has damaged the U.S. agricultural economy. Over 28 states have passed laws related to pollinator habitat protection and pesticide use. Conservation organizations put out pollinator-friendliness guidelines for home gardens, businesses, schools, cities—and now there are guidelines for solar farms. Over the past few years, many solar farm developers have transformed the space under their solar panels into a shelter for various kinds of pollinators, resulting in soil improvement and carbon reduction. “These pollinator-friendly solar farms can have a valuable impact on everything that’s going on in the landscape,” says Macknick. 12. What do solar developers often ignore? A. The decline in the demand for solar energy. B. The negative impact of installing solar panels. C. The rising labor cost of building solar farms. D. The most recent advances in solar technology. 13. What does InSPIRE aim to do? A. Improve the productivity of local farms. B. Invent new methods for controlling weeds. C. Make solar projects environmentally friendly. D. Promote the use of solar energy in rural areas. 14. What is the purpose of the laws mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To conserve pollinators. B. To restrict solar development. C. To diversify the economy. D. To ensure the supply of energy. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Pollinators: To Leave or to Stay B. Solar Energy: Hope for the Future C. InSPIRE: A Leader in Agriculture D. Solar Farms: A New Development 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍的是用一种更加友好的方式建立一种新型的太阳能农场，这种新型的农场更有利于保护各种传粉昆虫，从而促进农业的发展。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Often, they’ll end up filling the area with small stones and using chemicals to control weeds. The result is that many communities, especially in farming regions, see solar farms as destroyers of the soil.(通常，他们最终会用小石头填满该地区，并使用化学物质来控制杂草。结果是，许多社区，特别是在农业地区，将太阳能农场视为土壤的破坏者。)”可知，太阳能开发者采用不环保的方式处理太阳能板安装后产生的问题，导致人们把太阳能农场看作是土壤的破坏者，由此可以推断，开发者在安装太阳能板后忽略了其带来的负面影响。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“InSPIRE is investigating practical approaches to “low-impact” solar development, which focuses on establishing and operating solar farms in a way that is kinder to the land.(InSPIRE正在研究“低影响”太阳能开发的实用方法，其重点是以对土地更友好的方式建立和运营太阳能农场。)”可知，InSPIRE采用有好的方式建立和运营太阳能农场，也就是使得太阳能农场更加环保。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Over 28 states have passed laws related to pollinator habitat protection and pesticide use.(超过28个州通过了与传粉媒介栖息地保护和农药使用有关的法律。)”可知，这些法律都是与保护传粉者栖息地和农药使用相关，所以这些法律的目的是保护授粉者。故选A项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的“Over the past few years, many solar farm developers have transformed the space under their solar panels into a shelter for various kinds of pollinators, resulting in soil improvement and carbon reduction.(在过去的几年里，许多太阳能农场开发商将太阳能电池板下的空间改造成各种传粉媒介的庇护所，从而改善了土壤并减少了碳排放。)”可知，现在的太阳能农场在过去的几年里已经得到了很大的发展，更重要的是太阳能农场也变得更加的环保，这将是未来发展农业的新趋势，再结合全文对太阳农场的发展过程的介绍可以判断，本文主题是介绍太阳能农场。故选D项。 【点睛】 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出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The 7-38-55 rule, developed by Albert Mehrabian in 1971, shows that only 7% of meaning is communicated through words, while 38% through tone of voice and 55% through body language. ____16____ Here are some tips for applying the 7-38-55 rule in a negotiation (谈判) context: ____17____ Your body language is much more important than what you’re actually saying. If your counterpart’s body language indicates that they are about to lose their bearings, speak calmly and plainly, slowing the pace of the negotiation. Look for differences between spoken words and nonverbal behaviors. When you’re at the negotiating table, pay attention to how your counterpart speaks and acts. ____18____ It’s also important that you make sure your own nonverbal messages are in line with what you are saying. If your facial expressions are pained and you’re keeping your contact, you are communicating your uncertainty to your counterpart no matter what you’re saying. Learn to use different vocal tones. Mastering the use of your voice can help you become a better negotiator by improving the delivery of your debates. In the negotiating room, there are three main tones of voice: competitive, compromising, and accommodating. ____19____ ____20____ Tap into your listening skills, assess how your counterpart is feeling, and change your nonverbal communication in response. When debating the main points in a negotiation, you should try to change your nonverbal behaviors based on the messages you are receiving from your counterpart. Even if your arguments themselves don’t change, changing your nonverbal messaging can be effective. A. Observe your counterpart’s body language. B. Adjust your own nonverbal communication. C. Communicate non-verbally with your counterpart. D. Do you express your ideas properly to your counterpart? E. This highlights the importance of nonverbal communication. F. Generally speaking, a cooperative voice gently promotes partnership. G. Does what they’re saying match the way they’re carrying themselves? 【答案】16. E 17. A 18. G 19. F 20. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了由阿尔伯特・梅拉比安在 1971 年提出的 7-38-55 规则，即只有 7% 的意思是通过语言传达，38% 通过语气，55% 通过肢体语言，并详细阐述了在谈判情境中应用这一规则的一些技巧。 【16题详解】 根据上文“The 7-38-55 rule, developed by Albert Mehrabian in 1971, shows that only 7% of meaning is communicated through words, while 38% through tone of voice and 55% through body language(由阿尔伯特・梅拉比安在 1971 年提出的 7-38-55 规则表明，只有 7% 的意思是通过语言传达的，而 38% 是通过语气，55% 是通过肢体语言传达的)”可推知，该规则强调了非语言交流（语气和肢体语言）占比很大，很重要。E选项“这突出了非语言交流的重要性”符合语境，起到了承接上文，点明主旨的作用。故选E。 【17题详解】 根据下文“Your body language is much more important than what you’re actually saying. If your counterpart’s body language indicates that they are about to lose their bearings, speak calmly and plainly, slowing the pace of the negotiation.(你的肢体语言比你实际说的话重要得多。如果你的对手的肢体语言表明他们即将失去方向，要冷静、清楚地说话，放慢谈判的节奏)”可推知，该段主要围绕观察对手的肢体语言展开。A选项 “观察你对手的肢体语言”能够准确概括该段主旨。故选A。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Look for differences between spoken words and nonverbal behaviors. When you’re at the negotiating table, pay attention to how your counterpart speaks and acts.(寻找言语和非语言行为之间的差异。当你在谈判桌前时，注意你对手的说话和行为方式)”以及后文 “It’s also important that you make sure your own nonverbal messages are in line with what you are saying.(确保你自己的非语言信息与你所说的话一致也很重要)”可知，此处应该是关于对手言语和行为是否一致的内容。G选项“他们所说的话与他们的举止方式相匹配吗？”符合语境，与上下文逻辑连贯。故选G。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Learn to use different vocal tones. Mastering the use of your voice can help you become a better negotiator by improving the delivery of your debates. In the negotiating room, there are three main tones of voice: competitive, compromising, and accommodating.(学会使用不同的语调。掌握声音的运用可以通过改进你辩论的表达方式，帮助你成为一个更好的谈判者。在谈判室里，主要有三种语调：竞争型、妥协型和包容型)”可知，此处应该是对不同语调的进一步说明。F 选项“一般来说，合作的声音会温和地促进合作关系”是对语调作用的具体阐述，与前文提到的语调相关内容相契合。故选F。 【20题详解】 根据下文“Tap into your listening skills, assess how your counterpart is feeling, and change your nonverbal communication in response. When debating the main points in a negotiation, you should try to change your nonverbal behaviors based on the messages you are receiving from your counterpart. Even if your arguments themselves don’t change, changing your nonverbal messaging can be effective.(利用你的倾听技巧，评估你对手的感受，并相应地改变你的非语言交流。当在谈判中辩论要点时，你应该根据从对手那里收到的信息，尝试改变你的非语言行为。即使你的论点本身没有改变，改变你的非语言信息也可能是有效的)”可推知，该段主要讲述要根据对手的情况调整自己的非语言交流。B选项“调整你自己的非语言交流”能够准确概括该段主旨。故选B。 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和 D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最 佳选项。 In 2023, a young boy in Arkansas died from being left in a hot car.

Mike’s father had died two years before, so Sheila worked hard to provide for herself and Mike. One day, Mike saw four construction workers when he was on the way home with his mother. The men were repairing a portion of the road near Mike’s house. It was terribly hot, and Mike’s heart went out to the tired workers. That’s when Mike had an idea. He rushed inside, opened the fridge, and grabbed some bottles of lemonade (柠檬水) made by themselves. Then he hurried up to the workers. “Excuse me, sir,” he said in a loud voice. “You look very tired. Please have the lemonade. You will feel better!” The workers paused from their work and exchanged looks, smiling and delighted that the young boy was so kind to them. “Thank you very much, young man,” one of them replied as he accepted the lemonade. “It’s okay,” Mike said with a smile and then waved goodbye to them. From that day on, Mike brought lemonade or water to the workers every day. Soon enough, he became familiar with all of them. One day, when Mike went to offer them water, the workers observed he wasn’t as cheerful as before. They were worried and asked him why he seemed upset. Pouting (嘴) his lips, the boy replied, “My birthday is only two days away and my mother will be caught up with some work that day. We are new here, so I don’t have any friends. I will be alone.” The workers felt bad for Mike, thinking he didn’t deserve to be sad ever — particularly not on his special day-so they came up with a plan. 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。 The next day, the construction workers decided to wait for Sheila on her way to work. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Mike’s birthday came and he was at home alone when suddenly the doorbell rang. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The next day, the construction workers decided to wait for Sheila on her way to work. When they walked to Sheila, she was confused. They explained everything to her, including how Mike would bring them water daily. Sheila was incredibly proud of her son and couldn’t believe he had been so kind to the workers. “Actually, we want to celebrate his birthday with him. We know he really doesn’t want to be left alone on his birthday. We hope you don’t mind,” the workers said. Sheila was more than grateful to them for being so thoughtful and kind to her son and she accepted their plan. Mike’s birthday came and he was at home alone when suddenly the doorbell rang. Mike wondered who it could be. When he opened the door, he was surprised to find a group of four men — construction workers — in front of him. “We’re here for your birthday, Mike!” When Mike, almost crying about being alone, saw the workers, his face lit up. Surprised and excited, he welcomed them to come in. The construction workers not only bought Mike a birthday cake, but also helped decorate the living room with balloons and a happy birthday banner. In the following time, they enjoyed the celebration to the fullest. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Mike和母亲Sheila因工作调动搬到新家，Mike的父亲两年前去世，Sheila努力工作抚养Mike。一天Mike看到修路工人在炎热天气下工作很辛苦，便每天给他们送柠檬水或水。后来工人发现Mike因生日当天母亲要工作且自己在新地方没朋友，担心生日会孤单而不开心，于是工人们想出了一个计划。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天，建筑工人们决定在希拉上班的路上等她。”可知，第一段可描写工人们拦住Sheila，向她解释Mike每天给他们送水的事；工人们表达想为Mike庆祝生日，不想让他在生日孤单；Sheila对工人们的想法表示感激并接受计划 ②由第二段首句内容“迈克的生日到了，他独自在家，突然门铃响了”可知，第二段可描写Mike听到门铃响，开门看到工人很惊讶；工人表明来为他庆祝生日，Mike由难过变得惊喜，邀请他们进屋；工人带来生日蛋糕并帮忙装饰客厅，大家一起尽情庆祝生日。 2.续写线索：工人等Sheila解释情况——提出庆祝生日——Sheila感激并接受——门铃响 —— Mike看到工人惊讶——工人表明来意——Mike邀请进屋——一起庆祝生日 3.词汇激活 行为类 行为类： ①解释：explain/account for ②装饰：decorate/adorn ③欢迎：welcome/greet 情感类： ①感激：grateful/thankful ②惊喜：surprised/amazed ③开心：happy/delighted 【点睛】[高分句型1] They explained everything to her, including how Mike would bring them water daily.（运用了how引导的宾语从句） [高分句型2] When Mike, almost crying about being alone, saw the workers, his face lit up.（运用了when 引导的时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高二年级期中考试英语试卷 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卷上的答 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，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.

By January 2023, she’d lost her ability to complete everyday tasks. She was set on staying in her home and resisted the in-home care. I guessed it was because of what it represented: the acceptance of a disease that would slowly rob her of her memories and the ability to take care of herself. We had to make the hard choice of finding her a nursing home for her safety and well-being. But we knew she wouldn’t be interested. So, we made up an excuse, telling her that it was an opportunity to spend the winter near my brother in sunny Florida while living at an apartment we had arranged for her. My mum wasn’t the soft, affectionate mother I often longed for. She had never shown or talked about her feelings, but she was a great example of a hard-working, independent, entrepreneurial woman. My brother and I both have our own businesses, which is something she showed us was possible. Since her diagnosis, watching her battle with accepting what was happening to her was heartbreaking, but I also felt closer to her when she began to express and share her feelings with me like a kid. My brother arrived to meet us and we were shown to her apartment. A small kitchen, a living room, a bathroom, and two bedrooms — one for her, and one for me and my brother to stay in when we visited. She seemed happy during moving in. For the next 10 days, I lived with her there. We went to meals together, reviewed the activity schedule, and I dropped her off and picked her up like a child at school. The day came when I had to fly home, and I cried. As I shifted from being her daughter to being more like her parent, I realized how hard being a mother can be. 4. Why might the author’s mother resist in-home care? A. She preferred living alone. B. She disliked the caregivers. C. She feared losing independence. D. She intended to move to Florida. 5. How did the author and her brother convince their mother to move to the nursing home? A. They told her a white lie. B. They threatened her to go. C. They offered her a free apartment. D. They agreed to keep her company. 6. What kind of person was the author’s mother before the diagnosis? A. Talkative and determined. B. Reserved but responsible. C. Energetic and gentle. D. Creative but cold. 7. How does the author feel after her role change? A. Confused. B. Content. C. Awkward. D. Appreciative. C At first look, the playground at the Children’s Guild-Transformation Academy in Baltimore, Maryland, looks like any other. It has swings, slides, and places for children to climb and crawl. But the playground is not just a place for fun. It is also a place where students can learn, grow and gain independence. Everything — from the kind of surface it sits on, to the color of its sitting areas, to the placement of the surrounding fence — is specifically designed for kids with autism (自闭症). Mark Rapaport is the managing director of autism services at the Transformation Academy. He said the school accepts students aged 5 to 21 with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and are lower-functioning. Rapaport said the goal of Transformation Academy is to make the students as independent as possible in an effort to help them prepare for adult life. The school aims to provide help with developing communication and social skills, as well as practical abilities like cleaning or cooking. The playground designed by Maryland company Sparks@Play, using structures manufactured by Landscape Structures, Inc. took a month to develop, said Dan Hack. He works for Sparks@Play and helped lead the playground’s design. Hack said he and others spent weeks getting to know the students and understanding their needs before any building was started. The design process involved physical therapists, occupational therapists, and other specialists. The huge $500,000 project was funded with support from the state of Maryland and the nonprofit Orokawa Foundation. Parts of the playground that seem small are very important for children with autism and other disabilities. The surrounding fence extends into a wooded area to make it seem more open. And the ground under the play areas is made of soft, but solid materials to support students using wheelchairs or crutches. The benches on the outside of the playground look simple from far away, but are “one of our most inclusive sensory” elements, Hack said. They have many different colors that bring about feelings of calm and curiosity. They are also made with smooth material that can be felt and moved. The academy’s Rapaport said if a child starts to feel uneasy, they can sit down and feel the bench, which can help them relax. 8. Why is the playground in Baltimore designed with special materials? A. To make it superior to other playgrounds. B. To better serve children with autism. C. To improve the quality of the playground. D. To make it easier for kids to climb and crawl. 9. What can we learn from the playground project? A. It took a month to complete the project. B. The design process is simple and easy. C. The result of the project is uncertain. D. It’s a money-consuming project. 10. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The scale and the structure of the playground. B. Ways for kids to free from the stress and relax themselves. C. The underlying logic and reasonable factors of the playground. D. The advantages of the playground for autism and disabled kids. 11. Which best describes the playground in Baltimore? A. Advanced. B. Environmental-friendly. C. Functional. D. Convenient. D According to the Solar Energy Industry Association, the number of solar panels installed(安装)has grown rapidly in the past decade, and it has to grow even faster to meet climate goals. But all of that growth will take up a lot of space, and though more and more people accept the concept of solar energy, few like large solar panels to be installed near them. Solar developers want to put up panels as quickly and cheaply as possible, so they haven’t given much thought to what they put under them. Often, they’ll end up filling the area with small stones and using chemicals to control weeds. The result is that many communities, especially in farming regions, see solar farms as destroyers of the soil. “Solar projects need to be good neighbors,” says Jordan Macknick, the head of the Innovative Site Preparation and Impact Reductions on the Environment(InSPIRE)project. “They need to be protectors of the land and contribute to the agricultural economy.” InSPIRE is investigating practical approaches to “low-impact” solar development, which focuses on establishing and operating solar farms in a way that is kinder to the land. One of the easiest low-impact solar strategies is providing habitat for pollinators(传粉昆虫). Habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change have caused dramatic declines in pollinator populations over the past couple of decades, which has damaged the U.S. agricultural economy. Over 28 states have passed laws related to pollinator habitat protection and pesticide use. Conservation organizations put out pollinator-friendliness guidelines for home gardens, businesses, schools, cities—and now there are guidelines for solar farms. Over the past few years, many solar farm developers have transformed the space under their solar panels into a shelter for various kinds of pollinators, resulting in soil improvement and carbon reduction. “These pollinator-friendly solar farms can have a valuable impact on everything that’s going on in the landscape,” says Macknick. 12. What do solar developers often ignore? A. The decline in the demand for solar energy. B. The negative impact of installing solar panels. C. The rising labor cost of building solar farms. D. The most recent advances in solar technology. 13. What does InSPIRE aim to do? A. Improve the productivity of local farms. B. Invent new methods for controlling weeds. C. Make solar projects environmentally friendly. D. Promote the use of solar energy in rural areas. 14. What is the purpose of the laws mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To conserve pollinators. B. To restrict solar development. C. To diversify the economy. D. To ensure the supply of energy. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Pollinators: To Leave or to Stay B. Solar Energy: Hope for the Future C. InSPIRE: A Leader in Agriculture D. Solar Farms: A New Development 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出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The 7-38-55 rule, developed by Albert Mehrabian in 1971, shows that only 7% of meaning is communicated through words, while 38% through tone of voice and 55% through body language. ____16____ Here are some tips for applying the 7-38-55 rule in a negotiation (谈判) context: ____17____ Your body language is much more important than what you’re actually saying.

Mike’s father had died two years before, so Sheila worked hard to provide for herself and Mike. One day, Mike saw four construction workers when he was on the way home with his mother. The men were repairing a portion of the road near Mike’s house. It was terribly hot, and Mike’s heart went out to the tired workers. That’s when Mike had an idea. He rushed inside, opened the fridge, and grabbed some bottles of lemonade (柠檬水) made by themselves. Then he hurried up to the workers. “Excuse me, sir,” he said in a loud voice. “You look very tired. Please have the lemonade. You will feel better!” The workers paused from their work and exchanged looks, smiling and delighted that the young boy was so kind to them. “Thank you very much, young man,” one of them replied as he accepted the lemonade. “It’s okay,” Mike said with a smile and then waved goodbye to them. From that day on, Mike brought lemonade or water to the workers every day. Soon enough, he became familiar with all of them. One day, when Mike went to offer them water, the workers observed he wasn’t as cheerful as before. They were worried and asked him why he seemed upset. Pouting (嘴) his lips, the boy replied, “My birthday is only two days away and my mother will be caught up with some work that day. We are new here, so I don’t have any friends. I will be alone.” The workers felt bad for Mike, thinking he didn’t deserve to be sad ever — particularly not on his special day-so they came up with a plan. 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。 The next day, the construction workers decided to wait for Sheila on her way to work. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Mike’s birthday came and he was at home alone when suddenly the doorbell rang. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
