Designed by Scott A. Broadfoot, the sculptures are available for buying, with some of the profits donated to the garden. Guided tours are available. Daily, 8 am until dusk. Entrance is free; donations are accepted. Sculpture for Leonia Sculpture for Leonia is an all-volunteer nonprofit. Established in 2006, this project has placed more than 50 sculptures. The artworks are placed across the town, and the main location is the Erika and David Boyd Sculpture Garden, which honors the namesake artists. Leonia was home to some renowned American painters. Entrance is free. Daily, 6 am-9 pm. Haddonfield Outdoor Sculpture Trust (HOST) In 2012, resident Stuart Harting founded HOST. The art is a mix of 40 permanent sculptures and temporary pieces. The collection includes a graceful dancer, a brave postman, and a monumental red heart. Click here for a map of a self-guided tour. Entrance is free. Clifton Arts Center and Sculpture Park The story of the Clifton Arts Center and Sculpture Park began in 1994 with the vision and devotion of former mayor Gloria Kolodziej. Kolodziej, along with a team of supporters, changed 26 acres of land into an outdoor-gallery park. The park has laid the groundwork for an indoor arts center. It also has nearly 30 sculptures. 1 pm to 4 pm, Wednesday-Saturday. Suggested admission is $3; donations are welcome. 1. What can we know about Laurelwood Arboretum’s Sculpture Trail? A. You can visit it at 6 am on Friday. B. The sculptures there are for sale. C. Volunteers can create sculptures there. D. All of its profits there will go to charity. 2. Which garden has the most sculptures? A. Sculpture for Leonia. B. Haddonfield Outdoor Sculpture Trust. C. Clifton Arts Center and Sculpture Park. D. Laurelwood Arboretum’s Sculpture Trail. 3. What is special about Clifton Arts Center and Sculpture Park? A. Its artists. B. Its guided tour. C. Its admission fee. D. Its popularity. 【答案】1. B 2. A 3. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了新泽西州四处风景优美的雕塑花园，涵盖雕塑数量、开放时间、是否免费等信息，兼具艺术与自然之美。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Laurelwood Arboretum’s Sculpture Trail中“Designed by Scott A. Broadfoot, the sculptures are available for buying, with some of the profits donated to the garden.( 这些雕塑由斯科特·A.·布罗德富特（Scott A. Broadfoot）设计，可供购买，部分利润将捐赠给花园。)”可知，那里的雕塑是出售的。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Laurelwood Arboretum’s Sculpture Trail中“This 30-acre walking trail shows 15 sculptures.( 这条30英亩的步道展示了15座雕塑。)”、Sculpture for Leonia中“Established in 2006, this project has placed more than 50 sculptures.( 这个项目成立于2006年，已经放置了50多件雕塑。)”、Haddonfield Outdoor Sculpture Trust (HOST)中“The art is a mix of 40 permanent sculptures and temporary pieces.( 该艺术作品由40件永久雕塑和临时作品组成。)”以及Clifton Arts Center and Sculpture Park中“It also has nearly 30 sculptures.( 它还有近30座雕塑。)”可知，Sculpture for Leonia的雕塑数量最多。故选A项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Clifton Arts Center and Sculpture Park中“Suggested admission is $3(建议票价为3美元)”可知，其他三个花园均明确“Entrance is free”（免费入场），而 Clifton Arts Center and Sculpture Park 提到“Suggested admission is $3”（建议门票 3 美元），收取门票是其独特之处。故选C项。 B Rob Kennedy was with other people in a community space. The room was decorated with an under-the-sea theme. Kennedy comes to this memory cafe twice a month since being diagnosed (诊断) with Alzheimer’s disease. Everyone here has a degree of memory loss or is a caregiver for someone with memory loss. Attendees colored on worksheets with an underwater theme. They drank coffee and had desserts. And a quick round of questions and answers gets everyone’s minds working. “We start out just like that, many of us cannot answer any of the questions,” Kennedy said with a laugh. “We all have a good time going around,” he added. “You know, we all try to make it fun.” This memory cafe in Pennsylvania is one of 600 across the country. These gatherings for people with cognitive impairment (认知缺陷) and their caregivers are relatively cheap and easy to run — often the only expense is a small rental fee for the space. The memory cafes happen twice a month. They have given him purpose, Kennedy said, and help him cope with negative emotions around his diagnosis. “I came in and I was miserable,” Kennedy said. “I come in now and it’s like a family, an extended family. I get to meet them. I get to meet their partners. I get to meet their children. So, it’s really nice.” More than six million people in the U. S. have been diagnosed with some form of dementia (痴呆). The diagnosis can be burdensome on relationships, particularly with family members who are the primary caregivers. The inclusion of caregivers is what distinguishes memory cafes from other programs that serve people with cognitive impairment, like adult day care. Memory cafes don’t offer formal treatment or support. At a memory cafe, having fun together and being social is the support for both patients and their caregivers. 4. What is the atmosphere in the memory cafe like? A. Academic. B. Religious. C. Relaxing. D. Mysterious. 5. What can we learn about the memory cafe? A. It is affordable. B. It occupies a large space. C. It is equipped with doctors. D. It exists in every community. 6. Why did Kennedy come to the memory cafe? A. To get emotional comfort. B. To regain his lost memory. C. To reduce his physical pain. D. To receive professional treatment. 7. What makes memory cafes different from adult day care? A. They offer an easy social environment. B. Caregivers can attend the gatherings. C. People in these cafes have more fun. D. They focus on formal mental support. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，本文介绍了美国记忆咖啡馆的功能和特点。记忆咖啡馆是为阿尔茨海默症等认知障碍患者及其护理者提供的社交场所，通过轻松愉快的活动帮助患者缓解负面情绪。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。第三段中“Attendees colored on worksheets with an underwater theme. They drank coffee and had desserts.(在场的人在工作表上涂上水下主题的颜色。他们喝咖啡，吃甜点)”和第四段中“We all have a good time going around(我们都玩得很开心)”可知，在场的人喝咖啡、吃甜点，每个人都玩得很开心，由此推知记忆咖啡馆的氛围令人放松，故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“These gatherings for people with cognitive impairment (认知缺陷) and their caregivers are relatively cheap and easy to run — often the only expense is a small rental fee for the space.(这些为认知障碍患者和他们的照顾者举办的聚会相对便宜，也容易经营——通常唯一的费用是场地的一小笔租金)”可知，咖啡馆运营成本低廉，唯一开销是场地租金，故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“The memory cafes happen twice a month. They have given him purpose, Kennedy said, and help him cope with negative emotions around his diagnosis.(记忆咖啡馆每个月举办两次。Kennedy说，他们给了他目标，并帮助他应对因诊断而产生的负面情绪)”和第七段““I came in and I was miserable,” Kennedy said. “I come in now and it’s like a family, an extended family. I get to meet them. I get to meet their partners. I get to meet their children. So, it’s really nice.”(“我进来的时候很痛苦，”Kennedy说。“我现在进来，这里就像一个大家庭。我可以见到他们。我可以见到他们的伴侣。我可以见到他们的孩子。所以，这真的很好。”)”可知，Kennedy来到记忆咖啡馆是为了获得情感支持，故选A。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The inclusion of caregivers is what distinguishes memory cafes from other programs that serve people with cognitive impairment, like adult day care.(照顾者的参与是记忆咖啡馆与其他为认知障碍患者服务的项目（如成人日托）的区别所在)”可知，照护者的参与是记忆咖啡馆与其他项目的区别，故选B。 C When Alice from Alice in Wonderland consumes a mysterious bottle labeled “drink me”, she quickly shrinks (收缩) to the floor. The Magic School Bus once got attacked by white blood cells when it shrank down to explore a sick person’s bloodstream. And Ant-Man is famous for using his shrinking technology in Marvel films. But will humans ever be able to become smaller like this in real life? Unfortunately, physicists say that technology with the power to make someone bite-sized would break the laws of physics. Still, scientists have fun thinking over how an imaginary shrinking machine might work. “It drives you to think about: What determines the size of things?” says physicist James Kakalios. Finding the answer can involve looking into the hearts of atoms (原子). Atoms are the building blocks of almost all matter in the universe. One theoretical way to shrink something would be to reduce the size of its atoms. But an atom’s size depends on several fundamental constants (常数). Those constants don’t change. If shrinking atoms wouldn’t work, what about shortening the space between them? Atoms come together to build all kinds of molecules (分子). Atoms and molecules in the human body, though, are already packed closely together. Trying to get them even closer would be challenging. You could try to force the atoms together. But Kakalios says that even a tiny reduction in size would require enormous amounts of pressure. That would be bad news for any person who tried it on themselves. Kakalios says, “It would just flatten you, and you don’t want to do that.” Even if Alice or Ant-Man were somehow able to bypass the laws of physics to survive shrinkage, they would face other problems. For example, as their eyes shrank, their ability to process visible wavelengths of light might become worse. Kakalios also notes that the science of making things smaller is not entirely imaginary. Although technology may not be able to shrink people, humans are remarkably good at shrinking our technology. 8. How does the author bring in the topic? A. By telling real-life stories. B. By imagining our future life. C. By introducing the background. D. By describing scenes from some works. 9. What might scientists think of the technology of shrinking a person? A. Illegal. B. Inhuman. C. Imperfect. D. Impractical. 10. Which statement might Kakalios agree with? A. The atom’s size is changeable. B. The atoms and the molecules link tightly. C. Narrowing the space between atoms is easy. D. The science of making objects smaller is impossible. 11. What can be the best title for the text? A. What Is Behind the Technology of Shrinking? B. How Is the Shrinking Technology Being Used? C. Should We Describe Shrinking Technology in Literature? D. Could We Ever Develop the Technology to Shrink Ourselves? 【答案】8. D 9. D 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了现实中人类能否像文学和影视作品中那样缩小自身的问题，分析了相关理论上的可能性、面临的物理障碍及其他难题，同时提到人类在缩小技术方面的实际进展。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第一段“When Alice from Alice in Wonderland consumes a mysterious bottle labeled “drink me”, she quickly shrinks to the floor. The Magic School Bus once got attacked by white blood cells when it shrank down to explore a sick person’s bloodstream. And Ant-Man is famous for using his shrinking technology in Marvel films.(《爱丽丝梦游仙境》中的爱丽丝喝下一瓶标有‘喝我’的神秘药水后，迅速缩小到地板上。《神奇校车》曾缩小后进入病人的血液探索，结果遭到白细胞的攻击。蚁人则因在漫威电影中使用缩小技术而闻名。)” 可知，作者通过描述一些作品中的场景引入主题。故选D。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第二段“Unfortunately, physicists say that technology with the power to make someone bite-sized would break the laws of physics.(不幸的是，物理学家表示，能让人缩小到一口大小的技术会违反物理定律。)” 可推知科学家认为缩小人体的技术不切实际。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第三段“But an atom’s size depends on several fundamental constants. Those constants don’t change.(但原子的大小取决于几个基本常数。这些常数不变。)”可知，原子的大小是不变的。故A项错误。根据第四段“Atoms and molecules in the human body, though, are already packed closely together. Trying to get them even closer would be challenging.(不过，人体中的原子和分子已经紧密排列在一起了。试图让它们更接近将是具有挑战性的。)” 可知，原子和分子连接紧密，而且缩小它们的之间的空间是有挑战性的，故B项正确，C项错误。根据最后一段“Kakalios also notes that the science of making things smaller is not entirely imaginary.(Kakalios还指出，缩小物体的科学并不完全是虚构的。)”可知，缩小物体的科学是可能的。综上Kakalios可能会认同 “原子和分子连接紧密” 这一说法。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据原文第一段“But will humans ever be able to become smaller like this in real life?(但在现实生活中，人类真的能变得这么小吗？)” 及全文围绕这一问题展开的分析，可知 “我们能否研发出缩小自身的技术？”最适合作为文章标题。故选D。 D Chicago Booth’s Christopher K. Hsee is a behavioral scientist focusing on what he calls hedonomics (幸福经济学). Rather than studying how to produce more “stuff”, hedonomics studies how to extract more happiness from the existing objects. Hsee and his Chicago Booth colleague Reid Hastie redefined the term in 2008. Their idea of hedonomics is based on the idea that people don’t need more resources to be happier; they need to use existing resources differently. For example, suppose a child enjoys playing with wooden blocks at first but grows tired of them. Hedonomics suggests the child doesn’t need more blocks to be happy; she needs to change how she plays with those blocks. The same principle applies to experiences. Instead of watching a TV show without control, watch two episodes (集) per day. Or better yet, apply another method: say you have six episodes to watch. You could watch two a day, or you could watch one on the first day, two on the second day, and three on the third day. That’s an increasing order. Or you could do the opposite, in a decreasing order, by watching three at the start and winding down. Instead of making full use of their resources, many people instead seek to add resources. Hsee, who has devoted much of the past decade to researching hedonomics, says that can have the opposite effect and lead to a phenomenon known as the “hedonic treadmill (享乐跑步机)”. This phrase refers to the tendency of people enjoying happiness temporarily and keeping on finding new positive stimulation. Hsee, who grew up in China, recalls when “just having the ability to buy a cheap bicycle” in his city was a big deal. But by 2012 in China, nearly every family in cities had, on average, a color TV, air conditioner, washing machine, and refrigerator. Almost nine in ten had a personal computer. Hsee sees his friends, some now able to afford expensive cars, stuck on the hedonic treadmill as they seek to get more well-being. The problem is that it takes more and more things to make people happy. 12. What is the meaning of hedonomics? A. Following your ideas. B. Producing more resources. C. Pursuing what you want. D. Treasuring what you have. 13. What does the underlined part “winding down” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Watching closely. B. Reducing gradually. C. Observing carefully. D. Checking regularly. 14. What do people do when they are on the hedonic treadmill? A. They try to get more. B. They use resources wisely. C. They tend to be more positive. D. They lack material enjoyment. 15. What does the author truly want to convey in the last paragraph? A. People are content with their income. B. China’s economy is developing fast. C. One’s desires can hardly be satisfied. D. It’s impossible to achieve real happiness. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是芝加哥大学布斯商学院的Christopher K. Hsee教授所提出的“幸福经济学”（hedonomics）理念。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Rather than studying how to produce more “stuff”, hedonomics studies how to extract more happiness from the existing objects.(与研究如何生产更多“物质”不同，幸福经济学研究的是如何从现有物品中获取更多幸福感)”可知，幸福经济学的意义是珍惜你所拥有的。故选D。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“You could watch two a day, or you could watch one on the first day, two on the second day, and three on the third day. That’s an increasing order. Or you could do the opposite, in a decreasing order, by watching three at the start and winding down.(你可以每天看两集，或者第一天看一集，第二天看两集，第三天看三集，这是按递增顺序观看。或者你也可以反着来，按递减顺序观看，即一开始看三集，并且winding down。)”可知，一开始看三集，反过来然后再逐渐减少，winding down的意思是“逐渐减少” ，和Reducing gradually意思相近。故选B。 14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“This phrase refers to the tendency of people enjoying happiness temporarily and keeping on finding new positive stimulation.(这个短语指的是人们暂时享受幸福，并不断寻找新的积极刺激的倾向)”可知，当人们在快乐的跑步机上时，他们会试图得到更多。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Hsee sees his friends, some now able to afford expensive cars, stuck on the hedonic treadmill as they seek to get more well-being. The problem is that it takes more and more things to make people happy.(Hsee看到，他的朋友们现在有能力购买昂贵的汽车，却陷入了“享乐跑步机”的困境，因为他们不断寻求获得更多福祉。问题是，要让人感到幸福，需要越来越多的东西)”可知，作者在最后一段真正想表达的是一个人的欲望很难得到满足。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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Like us, plants drink water to stay healthy — not too little, but not too much! When is the best time to water your plants? Here are some tips. If your plants are in the ground, the general rule is that plants need 1 inch of water per week. ___16___ That doesn’t usually do the job. Plants do best when watered deeply about three times a week, factoring in the rain. If the plants are little, water them twice a day until established. ___17___ Feel your soil! When the soil sticks in your hand and you can form it into a ball, it is wet enough. But, if it rarely holds together in your hand, or if the surface looks hard, or cracked, it is probably dry, and it’s time to water. ___18___ If so, that suggests it needs water. It’s best to water early in the day while the dew (露水) is still on the leaves so the leaves dry off by evening. However, if you cannot water in the morning, watering in the evening is fine, too. ___19___ Believe it or not, sometimes the best time to water is during or immediately after a rainfall, especially if the rain shower amounts only to a half-inch or so of water. The reason is that you want to add sufficient water at the same time to ensure penetration (渗透) down to 5 or 6 inches. ___20___ Light rain showers do not build up a reserve of water in the soil. A. That is the best time to water plants. B. But don’t just water without thinking. C. After all, water is necessary to every plant. D. See if the soil is dry an inch below the surface. E. Just avoid the middle of the day to avoid water loss. F. However, this does not mean watering one time per week. G. If you wait another day to water, you will be adding only surface water. 【答案】16. F 17. B 18. D 19. E 20. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章就植物浇水时间提出了一些建议。 【16题详解】 上文“If your plants are in the ground, the general rule is that plants need 1 inch of water per week.(如果你的植物在地下，一般规则是植物每周需要1英寸的水)”提到“每周1英寸水”的一般规则，但后文“That doesn’t usually do the job. Plants do best when watered deeply about three times a week, factoring in the rain.(这通常不够。考虑到雨水的影响，每周三次左右的深度浇水能使植物生长得最好)”指出“这通常不够”，暗示规则并非完全正确。选项F“然而，这并不意味着每周只浇一次水”完美衔接，解释规则不指代浇水频率。故选F。 【17题详解】 上文谈论“植物浇水频率”的话题，后文“Feel your soil! When the soil sticks in your hand and you can form it into a ball, it is wet enough.(感受你的土壤！当土壤粘在你手里，你可以把它捏成一个球时，它就够湿了)”建议通过感受土壤来判断是否需要浇水。选项B“但不要不加思考地浇水”作为过渡，提醒不要盲目浇水，引出下文的土壤检查方法。故选B。 【18题详解】 上文“But, if it rarely holds together in your hand, or if the surface looks hard, or cracked, it is probably dry, and it’s time to water.(但是，如果它在你的手中很少粘在一起，或者表面看起来很硬，或者有裂缝，那么它可能是干燥的，是时候浇水了)”描述土壤表面状态（如不成球、硬或开裂）后，指出“该浇水了”，后文“If so, that suggests it needs water.(如果是这样，那就说明它需要水)”有“如果这样”的总结。选项D“看看地面以下一英寸的土壤是否干燥”提供更深层检查，与下文“如果这样”（指表面下干燥）逻辑衔接，强调需进一步验证。故选D。 【19题详解】 上文“It’s best to water early in the day while the dew (露水) is still on the leaves so the leaves dry off by evening. However, if you cannot water in the morning, watering in the evening is fine, too.(最好在一天的早些时候浇水，因为露水还在叶子上，所以叶子在晚上就干了。然而，如果你不能在早上浇水，晚上浇水也是可以的)”讨论早晨或傍晚浇水的最佳时间，但未提具体避免时段。选项E“只是要避免在中午浇水，以免水分流失”补充具体建议，避免中午蒸发导致水分损失，与浇水时间建议一致。故选E。 【20题详解】 上文“The reason is that you want to add sufficient water at the same time to ensure penetration (渗透) down to 5 or 6 inches.(原因是你想同时加入足够的水，以确保渗透到5或6英寸)”解释降雨后及时浇水以确保水渗透深层（5-6英寸），后文“Light rain showers do not build up a reserve of water in the soil.(小雨阵雨不能在土壤中建立水分储备)”指出小雨不积水。选项G“如果你再等一天再浇水，你只会加表面的水”解释为何不能等待（否则水只留表面），与渗透主题呼应。故选G。 第三部分 语言运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 As an adult, making new friends can often feel complicated (复杂的). But Tallulah shows us that there are more opportunities to develop ___21___ than we think. You can make positive ___22___ in the most unexpected ways. One day 8-year-old Tallulah wrote a thank-you card to Joseph, the driver who ___23___ parcels to her house each week, and drew a rainbow on it. When she and her mother went to give her ___24___ to the man, Tallulah learned that he was deaf. This ___25___ the girl to learn sign language so she could talk to the man. At first, they ___26___ through hand-drawn cards. Every morning since then, the delivery driver has ___27___ displayed the rainbow drawing in his delivery car. One day after one of Joseph’s ___28___ deliveries to Tallulah’s home, she ___29___ him by using sign language to say, “Have a good day ”. He was deeply moved by the ____30____ girl’s willingness to learn sign language in order to talk with him. He later taught Tallulah other common ____31____ , such as “Good morning” and “Good afternoon”. “It’s lovely to be able to communicate with her,” Joseph ____32____ a translator. “And I look forward to seeing her on my ____33____. ” Tallulah’s mother made a video of the whole ____34____ and shared it online.

The storm took away their belongings as well as their hope. It left residents numb (麻木) , without enough energy to take care of themselves, let alone help somebody else. Night fell. David parked his car beside an apartment building. The building was made of stone, one of the few on this side of New Orleans. He opened his trunk, dragged out four grocery bags of food and closed the trunk with his elbow. He noticed the scratches (划痕) on his car. Someone would scratch the side of his door with a key or a rock every time he left it for the hour he was making visits. “It was only a car,” he ignored them and entered the building. It was Wednesday, the day he regularly arrived after work. The apartment building was home to two old ladies. They couldn’t walk out and lived week by week, waiting for David’s visits. They told him that people were angry at the world because of the storm. They told him how much they missed the sound and laughter of children playing in the street. They hoped that scene came back someday soon. Cleaning up after a hurricane took time. It was more than pumping out the water and cleaning out the mud. It was more than replacing dirty carpets and furniture. It was about bringing back hope, faith and care for each other. David knew this so well that he spent his life helping people suffering in storms. That was why he drove to the apartment building every Wednesday to deliver food, a smile and hope to those lonely people. This Wednesday, when David arrived as usual and parked his car, a young boy was standing there. “I will watch your car,” the boy said. “I can make sure nobody can scratch your car.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 David looked at the boy and smiled. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From then on people often heard laughter from the ladies’ apartment. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 David looked at the boy and smiled. He recognized the weariness on the young face, mirroring the storm’s lingering shadow. “That’s very kind,” David said gently, touched by the unexpected offer. Though tempted to decline, he saw the boy’s determined eyes and threadbare clothes. “Alright,” he agreed softly. Handing the boy one of the lighter bags, he added, “Maybe you could help carry this upstairs too?” A hesitant smile appeared on the boy’s face as he took the bag, his small act of guarding evolving into a shared purpose. From then on, people often heard laughter from the ladies’ apartment. The boy, named Leo, became a regular companion on David’s Wednesday visits. He helped distribute food, listened attentively to the ladies’ stories about the old neighborhood, and even drew pictures of children playing to replace the lost sounds they missed. Leo’s presence and David’s consistent kindness became a small beacon. Gradually, neighbors began exchanging hesitant greetings, inspired by the simple acts of care radiating from the old stone building. Hope, fragile yet persistent, started to mend the invisible cracks Katrina left behind, stitch by small human stitch. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了卡特里娜飓风过后，新奥尔良居民失去财物与希望，陷入麻木。大卫每周三下班后都会给一栋石楼里的两位独居老太太送食物、带去温暖，他的车常被人划伤却毫不在意。某天，男孩利奥主动提出帮他看管车辆，还协助送东西上楼。此后利奥成为固定同伴，陪老人聊天、画孩子们玩耍的画，两人的善意像灯塔，带动邻居互动，慢慢修补飓风留下的创伤，让希望重燃。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“大卫看着这个男孩，微笑着”可知，第一段可描写大卫和利奥成为同伴的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“从那以后，人们常常能听到女士们公寓里传来的笑声”可知，第二段可描写两人陪老人聊天、画孩子们玩耍的画，两人的善意像灯塔，带动邻居互动，慢慢修补飓风留下的创伤，让希望重燃。 2.续写线索：看到利奥——接受帮助——成为同伴——给予邻居帮助——带动邻居互动——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①代替：replace/take the place of ②变成：evolve into/turn into ③出现：appear/show up 情绪类 ①专注地：attentively/mindfully ②善意：kindness/good-deed 【点睛】[高分句型1] Handing the boy one of the lighter bags, he added, “Maybe you could help carry this upstairs too?”（运用了现在分词作状语） [高分句型2] A hesitant smile appeared on the boy’s face as he took the bag, his small act of guarding evolving into a shared purpose.（运用了as引导时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 25—26学年度 (上) 沈阳市五校协作体期中考试 高二年级英语试卷 试卷共8页，67小题，满分150分。考试用时120分钟。 注意事项： 1. 考查范围：必修第一册~选择性必修第二册 Unit 1。 2. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号等填写在答题卡指定位置上。 3. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 4. 考生必须保持答题卡的整洁。考试结束后，请将答题卡交回。 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。 例: How much is the shirt?

The room was decorated with an under-the-sea theme. Kennedy comes to this memory cafe twice a month since being diagnosed (诊断) with Alzheimer’s disease. Everyone here has a degree of memory loss or is a caregiver for someone with memory loss. Attendees colored on worksheets with an underwater theme. They drank coffee and had desserts. And a quick round of questions and answers gets everyone’s minds working. “We start out just like that, many of us cannot answer any of the questions,” Kennedy said with a laugh. “We all have a good time going around,” he added. “You know, we all try to make it fun.” This memory cafe in Pennsylvania is one of 600 across the country. These gatherings for people with cognitive impairment (认知缺陷) and their caregivers are relatively cheap and easy to run — often the only expense is a small rental fee for the space. The memory cafes happen twice a month. They have given him purpose, Kennedy said, and help him cope with negative emotions around his diagnosis. “I came in and I was miserable,” Kennedy said. “I come in now and it’s like a family, an extended family. I get to meet them. I get to meet their partners. I get to meet their children. So, it’s really nice.” More than six million people in the U. S. have been diagnosed with some form of dementia (痴呆). The diagnosis can be burdensome on relationships, particularly with family members who are the primary caregivers. The inclusion of caregivers is what distinguishes memory cafes from other programs that serve people with cognitive impairment, like adult day care. Memory cafes don’t offer formal treatment or support. At a memory cafe, having fun together and being social is the support for both patients and their caregivers. 4. What is the atmosphere in the memory cafe like? A. Academic. B. Religious. C. Relaxing. D. Mysterious. 5. What can we learn about the memory cafe? A. It is affordable. B. It occupies a large space. C. It is equipped with doctors. D. It exists in every community. 6. Why did Kennedy come to the memory cafe? A. To get emotional comfort. B. To regain his lost memory. C. To reduce his physical pain. D. To receive professional treatment. 7. What makes memory cafes different from adult day care? A. They offer an easy social environment. B. Caregivers can attend the gatherings. C. People in these cafes have more fun. D. They focus on formal mental support. C When Alice from Alice in Wonderland consumes a mysterious bottle labeled “drink me”, she quickly shrinks (收缩) to the floor. The Magic School Bus once got attacked by white blood cells when it shrank down to explore a sick person’s bloodstream. And Ant-Man is famous for using his shrinking technology in Marvel films. But will humans ever be able to become smaller like this in real life? Unfortunately, physicists say that technology with the power to make someone bite-sized would break the laws of physics. Still, scientists have fun thinking over how an imaginary shrinking machine might work. “It drives you to think about: What determines the size of things?” says physicist James Kakalios. Finding the answer can involve looking into the hearts of atoms (原子). Atoms are the building blocks of almost all matter in the universe. One theoretical way to shrink something would be to reduce the size of its atoms. But an atom’s size depends on several fundamental constants (常数). Those constants don’t change. If shrinking atoms wouldn’t work, what about shortening the space between them? Atoms come together to build all kinds of molecules (分子). Atoms and molecules in the human body, though, are already packed closely together. Trying to get them even closer would be challenging. You could try to force the atoms together. But Kakalios says that even a tiny reduction in size would require enormous amounts of pressure. That would be bad news for any person who tried it on themselves. Kakalios says, “It would just flatten you, and you don’t want to do that.” Even if Alice or Ant-Man were somehow able to bypass the laws of physics to survive shrinkage, they would face other problems. For example, as their eyes shrank, their ability to process visible wavelengths of light might become worse. Kakalios also notes that the science of making things smaller is not entirely imaginary. Although technology may not be able to shrink people, humans are remarkably good at shrinking our technology. 8. How does the author bring in the topic? A. By telling real-life stories. B. By imagining our future life. C. By introducing the background. D. By describing scenes from some works. 9. What might scientists think of the technology of shrinking a person? A. Illegal. B. Inhuman. C. Imperfect. D. Impractical. 10. Which statement might Kakalios agree with? A. The atom’s size is changeable. B. The atoms and the molecules link tightly. C. Narrowing the space between atoms is easy. D. The science of making objects smaller is impossible. 11. What can be the best title for the text? A. What Is Behind the Technology of Shrinking? B. How Is the Shrinking Technology Being Used? C. Should We Describe Shrinking Technology in Literature? D. Could We Ever Develop the Technology to Shrink Ourselves? D Chicago Booth’s Christopher K. Hsee is a behavioral scientist focusing on what he calls hedonomics (幸福经济学). Rather than studying how to produce more “stuff”, hedonomics studies how to extract more happiness from the existing objects. Hsee and his Chicago Booth colleague Reid Hastie redefined the term in 2008. Their idea of hedonomics is based on the idea that people don’t need more resources to be happier; they need to use existing resources differently. For example, suppose a child enjoys playing with wooden blocks at first but grows tired of them. Hedonomics suggests the child doesn’t need more blocks to be happy; she needs to change how she plays with those blocks. The same principle applies to experiences. Instead of watching a TV show without control, watch two episodes (集) per day. Or better yet, apply another method: say you have six episodes to watch. You could watch two a day, or you could watch one on the first day, two on the second day, and three on the third day. That’s an increasing order. Or you could do the opposite, in a decreasing order, by watching three at the start and winding down. Instead of making full use of their resources, many people instead seek to add resources. Hsee, who has devoted much of the past decade to researching hedonomics, says that can have the opposite effect and lead to a phenomenon known as the “hedonic treadmill (享乐跑步机)”. This phrase refers to the tendency of people enjoying happiness temporarily and keeping on finding new positive stimulation. Hsee who grew up in China, recalls when “just having the ability to buy a cheap bicycle” in his city was a big deal. But by 2012 in China, nearly every family in cities had, on average, a color TV, air conditioner, washing machine, and refrigerator. Almost nine in ten had a personal computer. Hsee sees his friends, some now able to afford expensive cars, stuck on the hedonic treadmill as they seek to get more well-being. The problem is that it takes more and more things to make people happy. 12. What is the meaning of hedonomics? A. Following your ideas. B. Producing more resources. C. Pursuing what you want. D. Treasuring what you have. 13 What does the underlined part “winding down” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Watching closely. B. Reducing gradually. C. Observing carefully. D. Checking regularly. 14. What do people do when they are on the hedonic treadmill? A. They try to get more. B. They use resources wisely. C. They tend to be more positive. D. They lack material enjoyment. 15. What does the author truly want to convey in the last paragraph? A. People are content with their income. B. China’s economy is developing fast. C. One’s desires can hardly be satisfied. D. It’s impossible to achieve real happiness. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Like us, plants drink water to stay healthy — not too little, but not too much! When is the best time to water your plants? Here are some tips. If your plants are in the ground, the general rule is that plants need 1 inch of water per week. ___16___ That doesn’t usually do the job. Plants do best when watered deeply about three times a week, factoring in the rain. If the plants are little, water them twice a day until established. ___17___ Feel your soil! When the soil sticks in your hand and you can form it into a ball, it is wet enough. But, if it rarely holds together in your hand, or if the surface looks hard, or cracked, it is probably dry, and it’s time to water. ___18___ If so, that suggests it needs water. It’s best to water early in the day while the dew (露水) is still on the leaves so the leaves dry off by evening. However, if you cannot water in the morning, watering in the evening is fine, too. ___19___ Believe it or not, sometimes the best time to water is during or immediately after a rainfall, especially if the rain shower amounts only to a half-inch or so of water. The reason is that you want to add sufficient water at the same time to ensure penetration (渗透) down to 5 or 6 inches. ___20___ Light rain showers do not build up a reserve of water in the soil. A. That is the best time to water plants. B. But don’t just water without thinking. C. After all, water is necessary to every plant. D. See if the soil is dry an inch below the surface. E. Just avoid the middle of the day to avoid water loss. F. However, this does not mean watering one time per week. G. If you wait another day to water, you will be adding only surface water. 第三部分 语言运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 As an adult, making new friends can often feel complicated (复杂的).

The storm took away their belongings as well as their hope. It left residents numb (麻木) , without enough energy to take care of themselves, let alone help somebody else. Night fell. David parked his car beside an apartment building. The building was made of stone, one of the few on this side of New Orleans. He opened his trunk, dragged out four grocery bags of food and closed the trunk with his elbow. He noticed the scratches (划痕) on his car. Someone would scratch the side of his door with a key or a rock every time he left it for the hour he was making visits. “It was only a car,” he ignored them and entered the building. It was Wednesday, the day he regularly arrived after work. The apartment building was home to two old ladies. They couldn’t walk out and lived week by week, waiting for David’s visits. They told him that people were angry at the world because of the storm. They told him how much they missed the sound and laughter of children playing in the street. They hoped that scene came back someday soon. Cleaning up after a hurricane took time. It was more than pumping out the water and cleaning out the mud. It was more than replacing dirty carpets and furniture. It was about bringing back hope, faith and care for each other. David knew this so well that he spent his life helping people suffering in storms. That was why he drove to the apartment building every Wednesday to deliver food, a smile and hope to those lonely people. This Wednesday, when David arrived as usual and parked his car, a young boy was standing there. “I will watch your car,” the boy said. “I can make sure nobody can scratch your car.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 David looked at the boy and smiled. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From then on, people often heard laughter from the ladies’ apartment. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
