This gives you the chance to listen to music before buying it, discover new music, and create great online playlists that you can share with others. The Sixty One The Sixty One is devoted to showcasing obscure (模糊的) or unknown artists of all genres (体裁). There is a range of musical styles from classical to rock and roll, folk to jazz, and everything in between. Don’t expect to find big name musicians on here; you are more likely to find the musicians playing at local coffee shops than bands you hear on the radio. You can find fantastic music that you never would have heard of otherwise. Pow Wow Pow Wows are the Native American people’s way of meeting together, to join in dancing, singing, visiting, renewing old friendships, and making new ones. This is a time method to renew Native American culture and preserve the rich heritage of American Indians. PowWows.com has 2 online radio stations that play Native American Music 24/7 free! Here you can listen to your favorite artist and drum groups on your computer or mobile device and add your music to our station. Playlist Playlist has an enormous library, so you can create playlists with almost any musician you can think of. They have both some less known artists and big names, so you have a really good selection. The worst part: Due to licensing laws, many of the songs on Playlist are now restricted, to certain countries. So unless you live inside the US, it is likely that you might not be able to find all of your favorite songs. Pandora Pandora is an intelligent Internet radio site. Basically, as you listen, you can give each song thumbs up or thumbs down. You can create your own radio station that only plays music you like. The best part: It listens to your opinion, so that after a while it’s only playing music you like, but the list is always changing and expanding. My Space Combine a major social networking site with thousands of artists around the world. Each musician has their own page, which normally has a playlist of several of their songs. But it has a huge range of musicians ranging from huge stars to the up-and-coming, and you can listen to the music and interact with the rest of the page. 36. If you enjoy listening to some new music, you can pay a visit to________. A. The Sixty One B. Playlist C. Pow Wow D. Pandora 37. You can’t listen to some music on Playlist possibly because________. A. you don’t have any playlist B. you are not one of the members of the website C. it is only open to those who are in the United States D. the music is played only by the local people 38.

Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Create Your Own Playlist B. Best Free Music Websites C. All Kinds of Music Online D. Listen to Music for free (B) When people ask me how I started writing, I find myself describing an urgent need that I felt to work with language. Having said that, I did not know for a long time what I was looking for. It was not until I followed this feeling to its source that I discovered I had a passion for writing. With some encouragement from my colleagues, I had one of my poems published. This bit of success, however, was the point where my problem began. Back in 1978, I had to travel between three different campuses in the morning, teaching freshman composition. Afternoons I spent taking my daughter to her ballet and horse-riding lessons. I composed my lectures on the way, and that was all the thinking time I had. When I returned home, there was not enough of me left for writing after a full working day. As a way out, I decided to get up two hours before my usual time. My alarm was set for 5:00 A.M. The first day I shut it off because I had placed it within arm's reach. The second day I set two clocks, one on my night table, and one out in the hallway. I had to jump out of bed and run to silence it before my family was awoken. This was when my morning writing began. Since that first morning in 1978, I have been following the habit to this day, not making or accepting many excuses for not writing. I wrote my poems in this manner for nearly ten years before my first book was published. When I decided to write a novel, I divided my two hours: the first for poetry, the second for fiction. Well or badly, I wrote at least two pages a day. This is how my novel, The Line of the Sun. was finished. If I had waited to have the time, I would still be waiting to write my novel. What I got out of getting up in the dark to work is the feeling that I am in control. For many people, the initial sense of urgency to create easily dies away because it requires making the tough decision: taking the time to create, stealing it from yourself if ifs the only way. 41. What motivated the author to start her writing career? A. Her strong wish to share. B. Her keen interest in writing. C. Her urgent need to make a living. D. Her passionate desire for fame. 42. What problem did the author face when she decided to begin her writing? A. She was too exhausted to write after a busy day. B. She had trouble in deciding on her writing style. C. She had to take time to discipline her daughter. D. She was unsure about her writing skills. 43. Why did the author place an alarm clock in the hallway? A. In case the clock in her room broke down. B. In case she failed to hear the ringing. C. To force herself out of bed. D. To wake up her family. 44. How did the author manage to finish her novel? A. By sticking to writing every morning. B. By writing when her mind was most active. C. By drawing inspirations from classic novels. D. By reducing her teaching hours at school. 45. What can we learn from the author's success in her writing career? A. It is never too late to change your job. B. Imaginative ideas die away if not taken in time. C. A tight schedule is no excuse for lack of action. D. Daily life provides ideas for creative writing. (C) Scientists are developing unmanned planes—called drones—what can collect weather information from the atmosphere. Weather experts say their weather forecasts would be more accurate if they had information from many parts of the atmosphere. They already place satellites, drones and balloons at different altitudes (高度). And they use radar (雷达) and collect information from equipment on towers. But that information only helps experts predict weather conditions for the next few days. It does not help predict changes in the next few hours. This is very important where sudden, violent storms happen. So scientists at Oklahoma State University are developing new drones to collect information from more parts of the Earth’s atmosphere. This will help forecasters improve predictions about local weather conditions. Jamey Jacob is an aerospace engineer and a professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at Oklahoma State University. He and other scientists at the university are developing small drones that do not cost a lot of money but can fly for hours, collecting information from many atmospheric levels.” Oklahoma is a really good example, because even though we’re already a very weather-dynamic (动态天气的) state, Oklahoma only has two balloon launches a day—one at dawn and one at dusk—from a single location in the state, and that’s where all the weather forecasting information comes from. So that data is really sparse, and it’s difficult for weather experts to get a very good idea about how that weather is changing from these very limited number of data points.” Phillip Chilson, a professor of meteorology (气象的) at Oklahoma State University, says the drone program should give researchers a low-cost way of understanding storms better, and improve computer-based forecasting. The drone can measure atmospheric conditions, send live video to forecasters, and help search for people hurt in storms. “Our real goal is to try to develop systems. I don’t want to say they will replace weather balloons but there may be that possibility. Researchers still have a lot of work to do before the drones are ready. That includes making sure the drones know how to stay away from other planes.” 46. According to the text, the drones being developed can________. A. raise people’s interest in science B. help to improve weather predictions C. replace weather balloons and satellites D. examine different altitudes of the Earth 47. The underlined word “sparse” in Paragraph 4 probably means________. A. limited B. reliable C. confused D. correct 48. What does Phillip Chilson think of the drone program? A. Worried. B. Hopeful. C. Doubtful. D. Satisfied. 49. What can be concluded from the last paragraph? A. The drones can not be put into use now. B. It will cost a lot of money to build drones. C Researchers find it difficult to design planes. D. The drone program should be carried out on planes. 50. What is the purpose of the text? A. To introduce a team of scientists. B. To explain how unmanned planes work. C. To report a new way of predicting weather. D. To give some advice on preparing for storms. (D) People who have got rhythm might have an advantage when it comes to language and reading skills. A new study shows the brains of people who can move to a musical beat react to speech on a more consistent basis than those who can't. Researchers also find that musical training can sharpen the brain’s response to language. The researchers say their discovery provides the first biological link between the ability to keep a beat and how the brain responds to speech, something that can have important value for reading skills. To gather materials for their research, the team got more than 100 teenagers who lived in Chicago, Illinois. The teens were given two tests. First, they were instructed to listen to and tap their fingers along to the beat. The researchers calculated low accurately their young volunteers were able to tap along to the musical timekeeper. Second, the teen subjects were linked to an EEG device, which measures electrical activity in the brain. The EEG device was focused on an area of the brain that not only processes sound, but is also connected to parts of the brain responsible for motor-movement. The researchers recorded the brainwaves as their teen subjects listened to the synthesized speech sound, which was repeated irregularly for half an hour. The researchers were able to find out how the nerve cells in that particular region of the brain responded every time the synthesized sound was played.“Across this population of adolescents, the more accurate they were at tapping along to the beat, the more consistent their brains' response to the letter unit was,” said Nina Kraus. While past studies have showed the links between reading skills and a person’s ability to keep a beat, the researchers said their new findings show the hearing system is what provides a common basis for those links. “Rhythm is naturally a part of music and language.” Nina said. 51. According to the first paragraph, what can get the brain’s reaction to language more effectively? A. Rhythm. B. Reading skills. C. Language. D. Musical training. 52. What can we lean about “ the first biological link” mentioned in Paragraph 2? A. It shows how the brain works. B. It is very important for reading ability. C. It shows how the brain reacts to speech. D. It is helpful to researchers' findings. 53 The underlined word“subjects”in Paragraph 2 probably means “______”. A. persons or animals that are studied in an experiment or a research B. areas of knowledge studied in a school, college, and so on C. things that are being discussed in a conversation or a book D. persons or things that are the main features of works of art 54. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ______. A. reading skills may make language learners keep a beat B. the hearing system may be useless while a person is learning to read C. the hearing system may separate sound from meaning while a person is reading D. the hearing system may be used while a person is reading or taking musical training 55. What can we conclude from this passage? A. Moving to a musical beat is more popular. B. Experts are expanding their studies on rhythm. C. Rhythm might help us improve our reading skills. D. Experts find the links between the hearing system and reading. 第II卷 注意事项：1.请把所有答案写在答题纸上。 2.请使用黑色水笔或钢笔答题，不得使用涂改液修正带。 第五部分 语言知识运用（共两节，共35分） 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 I read an article in my local paper a while ago，and it really inspired me. There was a couple in my neighborhood whose house had been badly damaged in a storm we had earlier this year. I remember it well. I have never experienced so big a storm in my life，and the hailstones were almost the size of baseballs which broke everything on the roofs of the houses. I read this article a few months after the storm and I learned that this couple didn't have insurance and that they had just bought their first house. They were a common young couple and they had been saying for five years to get their home. Unfortunately，their home was badly damaged in the storm not only by the strong wind but a tree outside their house had fallen and destroyed part of the house. With all of their savings spent buying the place，they didn't have enough money to perform the maintenance of their house，nor could they buy a new one as they couldn't afford it. Then one day just when they were thinking nothing would get better，they came home from work and found an envelope in their mail box. When they opened it，they found some money with a note that said，“I have been driving past your house on my way to work for the last month，it looks like you need this more than I do，best of luck. ”The words were clear but no name was left. They couldn't reach the kind stranger，so they had to write to the local paper thanking him/her. The article caught the eye of the leaders of some companies who volunteered to cover the costs of repairs on the couple's home. I was really inspired by this story，and I try to do things for others every chance I get. I really understand that one act of kindness sometimes is so inspiring that it has the ability to change the world. 56. Why does the author remember the storm so well？（no more than 15 words） 57. Why did the couple had difficulty in dealing with the problem by themselves after the storm？（no more than 20 words） 58. What does the underlined words in the second paragraph mean？（no more than 1 word） 59. How did the stranger help the couple？（no more than 15 words） 60. What do you think of the stranger's behavior？Please give your reasons. （no more than 20words） 第六部分：书面表达（满分25分） 61. 假设你是你校“心灵成长俱乐部”的部长李华。你们俱乐部将举办一场题为“跨越荆棘，收获芬芳（Overcoming Thorns, Gaining Fragrance）”的英语主题分享会。请用英语给你的国际朋友 Chris写一封电子邮件，邀请他参加。 内容主要包括： 1.介绍分享会目的与主要环节（例如：故事分享、小组讨论等）； 2.结合你自己一次曾经遇到并最终克服困难的真实经历，谈谈你认为克服困难最重要的品质是什么； 3.真诚地邀请Chris参加，并鼓励他/她也可以分享自己的故事。 注意： (1)词数不少于100词； (2)可适当加入细节，使内容充实、行文连贯； (3)开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Chris, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 南开大学附中25-26学年度第一学期阶段检测（一） 高二英语学科试卷 本试卷分为第Ⅰ卷（选择题）、第Ⅱ卷（非选择题）两部分，共150分，考试用时120分钟。请考生务必将答案涂写在答题卡上，涂写在试卷上无效。考试结束后，将答题卡收回。祝各位考生考试顺利！ 第Ⅰ卷 注意事项：1.考生务必将自己的姓名、准考号填写在答题卷和答题卡上。 2.每小题选出答案后，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，再涂其他答案标号。 第一部分：听力（共两节，满分20分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1分，满分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，你将有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.

Having said that, I did not know for a long time what I was looking for. It was not until I followed this feeling to its source that I discovered I had a passion for writing. With some encouragement from my colleagues, I had one of my poems published. This bit of success, however, was the point where my problem began. Back in 1978, I had to travel between three different campuses in the morning, teaching freshman composition. Afternoons I spent taking my daughter to her ballet and horse-riding lessons. I composed my lectures on the way, and that was all the thinking time I had. When I returned home, there was not enough of me left for writing after a full working day. As a way out, I decided to get up two hours before my usual time. My alarm was set for 5:00 A.M. The first day I shut it off because I had placed it within arm's reach. The second day I set two clocks, one on my night table, and one out in the hallway. I had to jump out of bed and run to silence it before my family was awoken. This was when my morning writing began. Since that first morning in 1978, I have been following the habit to this day, not making or accepting many excuses for not writing. I wrote my poems in this manner for nearly ten years before my first book was published. When I decided to write a novel, I divided my two hours: the first for poetry, the second for fiction. Well or badly, I wrote at least two pages a day. This is how my novel, The Line of the Sun. was finished. If I had waited to have the time, I would still be waiting to write my novel. What I got out of getting up in the dark to work is the feeling that I am in control. For many people, the initial sense of urgency to create easily dies away because it requires making the tough decision: taking the time to create, stealing it from yourself if ifs the only way. 41. What motivated the author to start her writing career? A. Her strong wish to share. B. Her keen interest in writing. C. Her urgent need to make a living. D. Her passionate desire for fame. 42. What problem did the author face when she decided to begin her writing? A. She was too exhausted to write after a busy day. B. She had trouble in deciding on her writing style. C. She had to take time to discipline her daughter. D. She was unsure about her writing skills. 43. Why did the author place an alarm clock in the hallway? A. In case the clock in her room broke down. B. In case she failed to hear the ringing. C. To force herself out of bed. D. To wake up her family. 44. How did the author manage to finish her novel? A. By sticking to writing every morning. B. By writing when her mind was most active. C. By drawing inspirations from classic novels. D. By reducing her teaching hours at school. 45. What can we learn from the author's success in her writing career? A. It is never too late to change your job. B. Imaginative ideas die away if not taken in time. C. A tight schedule is no excuse for lack of action. D. Daily life provides ideas for creative writing. 【答案】41. B 42. A 43. C 44. A 45.

The second day I set two clocks, one on my night table, and one out in the hallway.”第一天我把它关掉了，因为我把它放在触手可及的地方。第二天，我调了两个钟，一个放在床头柜上，一个放在走廊上。可知，作者在走廊里放了一个闹钟的原因是为了强迫自己起床。故选C项。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Since that first morning in 1978, I have been following the habit to this day, not making or accepting many excuses for not writing.”从1978年的第一个早晨开始，我一直遵循这个习惯，直到今天，不为不写作找任何借口。可知，作者能够写小说的原因是坚持每天早上写作。故选A项。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“What I got out of getting up in the dark to work is the feeling that I am in control.”我从摸黑起床工作中得到的是一种掌控一切的感觉。以及文章第四段“Since that first morning in 1978, I have been following the habit to this day, not making or accepting many excuses for not writing.”从1978年的第一个早晨开始，我一直遵循这个习惯，直到今天，不为不写作找任何借口。可知，紧凑的日程并不是不采取行动的借口。故选C项。 (C) Scientists are developing unmanned planes—called drones—what can collect weather information from the atmosphere. Weather experts say their weather forecasts would be more accurate if they had information from many parts of the atmosphere. They already place satellites, drones and balloons at different altitudes (高度). And they use radar (雷达) and collect information from equipment on towers. But that information only helps experts predict weather conditions for the next few days. It does not help predict changes in the next few hours. This is very important where sudden, violent storms happen. So scientists at Oklahoma State University are developing new drones to collect information from more parts of the Earth’s atmosphere This will help forecasters improve predictions about local weather conditions. Jamey Jacob is an aerospace engineer and a professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at Oklahoma State University. He and other scientists at the university are developing small drones that do not cost a lot of money but can fly for hours, collecting information from many atmospheric levels.” Oklahoma is a really good example, because even though we’re already a very weather-dynamic (动态天气的) state, Oklahoma only has two balloon launches a day—one at dawn and one at dusk—from a single location in the state, and that’s where all the weather forecasting information comes from. So that data is really sparse, and it’s difficult for weather experts to get a very good idea about how that weather is changing from these very limited number of data points.” Phillip Chilson, a professor of meteorology (气象的) at Oklahoma State University, says the drone program should give researchers a low-cost way of understanding storms better, and improve computer-based forecasting. The drone can measure atmospheric conditions, send live video to forecasters, and help search for people hurt in storms. “Our real goal is to try to develop systems. I don’t want to say they will replace weather balloons but there may be that possibility. Researchers still have a lot of work to do before the drones are ready. That includes making sure the drones know how to stay away from other planes.” 46. According to the text, the drones being developed can________. A. raise people’s interest in science B. help to improve weather predictions C. replace weather balloons and satellites D. examine different altitudes of the Earth 47. The underlined word “sparse” in Paragraph 4 probably means________. A. limited B. reliable C. confused D. correct 48. What does Phillip Chilson think of the drone program? A. Worried. B. Hopeful. C. Doubtful. D. Satisfied. 49. What can be concluded from the last paragraph? A. The drones can not be put into use now. B. It will cost a lot of money to build drones. C. Researchers find it difficult to design planes. D. The drone program should be carried out on planes. 50. What is the purpose of the text? A. To introduce a team of scientists. B. To explain how unmanned planes work. C. To report a new way of predicting weather. D. To give some advice on preparing for storms. 【答案】46. B 47. A 48. B 49. A 50. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。讲述的是科学家们正在开发的一种新型的无人机，这种无人机可以用来收集来自于大气层的天气信息，有助于天气预报更加准确。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Scientists are developing unmanned planes—called drones—what can collect weather information from the atmosphere.(科学家们正在开发无人驾驶飞机——称为无人机——可以从大气中收集天气信息。)”以及第二段中的“Weather experts say their weather forecasts would be more accurate if they had information from many parts of the atmosphere. (天气专家表示，如果他们有来自大气层许多地方的信息，他们的天气预报会更准确。)”可知，这种无人机用来收集气象信息，所以正在研发的无人机有助于改善天气预报的准确程度。故选B项。 【47题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段划线单词后面的内容“and it’s difficult for weather experts to get a very good idea about how that weather is changing from these very limited number of data points. (天气专家很难从这些非常有限的数据点中很好地了解天气是如何变化的)”可知，对于气象专家来说很难从有限的数据预测天气的变化情况，由于划线单词所在的句子与下文中的内容为并列关系，由此可以猜测，该单词的意思是“有限的”。故选A项。 【48题详解】 推理判断题。根据尾段中的“Phillip Chilson, a professor of meteorology (气象的) at Oklahoma State University, says the drone program should give researchers a low-cost way of understanding storms better, and improve computer-based forecasting. (俄克拉荷马州立大学气象学教授菲利普·奇尔森（Phillip Chilson）表示，无人机计划应该为研究人员提供一种低成本的方式来更好地了解风暴，并改善基于计算机的预测。)”可知，Phillip Chilson认为无人机计划应该让研究者以低成本的方式更好的理解风暴，并改进以计算机为基础的预测，由此可以看出，Phillip Chilson觉得这项计划是充满希望的。故选B项。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。根据尾段中的“Researchers still have a lot of work to do before the drones are ready. That includes making sure the drones know how to stay away from other planes. (在无人机准备就绪之前，研究人员还有很多工作要做。这包括确保无人机知道如何远离其他飞机。)”可知，在无人机投入使用前，要有很多工作要做，所以可以推断，这些无人机还不能投入使用。故选A项。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。根据首段“Scientists are developing unmanned planes—called drones—what can collect weather information from the atmosphere. (科学家们正在开发无人驾驶飞机——称为无人机——可以从大气中收集天气信息。)”可知，本文主要是在介绍科学家们正在研发的一种新型的无人机以及第三段中的“So scientists at Oklahoma State University are developing new drones to collect information from more parts of the Earth’s atmosphere. This will help forecasters improve predictions about local weather conditions. (因此，俄克拉荷马州立大学的科学家正在开发新的无人机，以从地球大气层的更多部分收集信息。这将有助于预报员改进对当地天气状况的预测。)”介绍这种设备研发的意义，即这种设备可以供人们更加准确得预报当地的天气情况，再结合全文介绍的这种无人机研发的情况，可以推断该文的主要目的是介绍一种新的预报天气的方式。故选C项。 (D) People who have got rhythm might have an advantage when it comes to language and reading skills. A new study shows the brains of people who can move to a musical beat react to speech on a more consistent basis than those who can't. Researchers also find that musical training can sharpen the brain’s response to language. The researchers say their discovery provides the first biological link between the ability to keep a beat and how the brain responds to speech, something that can have important value for reading skills. To gather materials for their research, the team got more than 100 teenagers who lived in Chicago, Illinois. The teens were given two tests. First, they were instructed to listen to and tap their fingers along to the beat. The researchers calculated low accurately their young volunteers were able to tap along to the musical timekeeper. Second, the teen subjects were linked to an EEG device, which measures electrical activity in the brain. The EEG device was focused on an area of the brain that not only processes sound, but is also connected to parts of the brain responsible for motor-movement. The researchers recorded the brainwaves as their teen subjects listened to the synthesized speech sound, which was repeated irregularly for half an hour. The researchers were able to find out how the nerve cells in that particular region of the brain responded every time the synthesized sound was played.“Across this population of adolescents, the more accurate they were at tapping along to the beat, the more consistent their brains' response to the letter unit was,” said Nina Kraus. While past studies have showed the links between reading skills and a person’s ability to keep a beat, the researchers said their new findings show the hearing system is what provides a common basis for those links. “Rhythm is naturally a part of music and language.” Nina said. 51. According to the first paragraph, what can get the brain’s reaction to language more effectively? A. Rhythm. B. Reading skills. C. Language. D. Musical training. 52. What can we lean about “ the first biological link” mentioned in Paragraph 2? A. It shows how the brain works. B. It is very important for reading ability. C. It shows how the brain reacts to speech. D. It is helpful to researchers' findings. 53. The underlined word“subjects”in Paragraph 2 probably means “______”. A. persons or animals that are studied in an experiment or a research B. areas of knowledge studied in a school, college, and so on C things that are being discussed in a conversation or a book D. persons or things that are the main features of works of art 54. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ______. A. reading skills may make language learners keep a beat B. the hearing system may be useless while a person is learning to read C. the hearing system may separate sound from meaning while a person is reading D. the hearing system may be used while a person is reading or taking musical training 55. What can we conclude from this passage? A. Moving to a musical beat is more popular. B. Experts are expanding their studies on rhythm. C. Rhythm might help us improve our reading skills. D. Experts find the links between the hearing system and reading. 【答案】51. D 52. B 53. A 54. D 55. C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章说明了有节奏感的人在阅读和语言学习上有优势。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中Researchers also find that musical training can sharpen the brain’s response to language.可知，音乐训练可以加速大脑对语言的反应，故选D。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中The researchers say their discovery provides the first biological link between the ability to keep a beat and how the brain responds to speech, something that can have important value for reading skills.可知，研究发现人们打节奏的能力和大脑对于演讲的反应之间有生物学上的联系，这对阅读技能有很重要的价值，故选B。 53题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第二段中Second, the teen subjects were linked to an EEG device, which measures electrical activity in the brain.可知，subjects作同位语指的是这些青少年。再根据To gather materials for their research, the team got more than 100 teenagers who lived in Chicago, Illinois. The teens were given two tests.可知，为了收集研究材料，找到了100名青少年并做了两个测验。由此可知此处subject指的是试验当中研究的对象，故选A。 【54题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中While past studies have showed the links between reading skills and a person’s ability to keep a beat, the researchers said their new findings show the hearing system is what provides a common basis for those links. “Rhythm is naturally a part of music and language.” Nina said.可知，阅读能力和一个人保持节奏的能力之间的联系，研究人员发现表明，听觉系统是这些联系的共同基础。从而可以推断听觉系统在人阅读和音乐训练时发挥作用，故选D。 【55题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中People who have got rhythm might have an advantage when it comes to language and reading skills.可知，有节奏感的人在阅读和语言学习上有优势，故选C。 第II卷 注意事项：1.请把所有答案写在答题纸上。 2.请使用黑色水笔或钢笔答题，不得使用涂改液修正带。 第五部分 语言知识运用（共两节，共35分） 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 I read an article in my local paper a while ago，and it really inspired me. There was a couple in my neighborhood whose house had been badly damaged in a storm we had earlier this year. I remember it well. I have never experienced so big a storm in my life，and the hailstones were almost the size of baseballs which broke everything on the roofs of the houses. I read this article a few months after the storm and I learned that this couple didn't have insurance and that they had just bought their first house. They were a common young couple and they had been saying for five years to get their home. Unfortunately，their home was badly damaged in the storm not only by the strong wind but a tree outside their house had fallen and destroyed part of the house. With all of their savings spent buying the place，they didn't have enough money to perform the maintenance of their house，nor could they buy a new one as they couldn't afford it. Then one day just when they were thinking nothing would get better，they came home from work and found an envelope in their mail box. When they opened it，they found some money with a note that said，“I have been driving past your house on my way to work for the last month，it looks like you need this more than I do，best of luck. ”The words were clear but no name was left. They couldn't reach the kind stranger，so they had to write to the local paper thanking him/her. The article caught the eye of the leaders of some companies who volunteered to cover the costs of repairs on the couple's home. I was really inspired by this story，and I try to do things for others every chance I get. I really understand that one act of kindness sometimes is so inspiring that it has the ability to change the world. 56. Why does the author remember the storm so well？（no more than 15 words） 57. Why did the couple had difficulty in dealing with the problem by themselves after the storm？（no more than 20 words） 58. What does the underlined words in the second paragraph mean？（no more than 1 word） 59. How did the stranger help the couple？（no more than 15 words） 60. What do you think of the stranger's behavior？Please give your reasons. （no more than 20words） 【答案】56. Because it was the biggest storm that he/she has ever experienced in his/her life. 57. Because they had no insurance or enough money to repair their house or buy a new one. 58. Repair. 59. By dropping an envelope in their mail box with some money and a note inside. 60. His behavior/it is very great. Because one act of kindness has the ability to change the world. 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了一个陌生人用自己的一份力量帮助一对在暴风雨中房屋受损的夫妇，他的善举深深地鼓舞了作者。 【56题详解】 根据第一段中的“I remember it well. I have never experienced so big a storm in my life”可知，作者记得很清楚是因为这是作者有生以来经历的最大的一场暴风雨，故填Because it was the biggest storm that he/she has ever experienced in his/her life. 【57题详解】 根据第二段中的“I learned that this couple didn't have insurance”及“they didn't have enough money to perform the maintenance of their house，nor could they buy a new one as they couldn't afford it.”可知，这对夫妇很难独自应付暴风雨造成的损失是因为没有保险，也没有足够的钱修房子或买新房子，故填Because they had no insurance or enough money to repair their house or buy a new one. 【58题详解】 根据画线词后的“their house，nor could they buy a new one as they couldn't afford it”可知，他们没有钱来修在暴风雨中损坏的房子，也买不起新房子，由此可知画线部分的意思是“修理”，故填Repair. 【59题详解】 根据第三段中的“they came home from work and found an envelope in their mail box. When they opened it，they found some money with a note that”可知，陌生人把一个装有一些钱和一张纸条的信封投进那对夫妇家的信箱里，故填By dropping an envelope in their mail box with some money and a note inside. 【60题详解】 根据最后一段中的“I really understand that one act of kindness sometimes is so inspiring that it has the ability to change the world.”可知，那个陌生人的行为很伟大，因为一个善举是如此的鼓舞人心，它有能力改变世界，故填His behavior/it is very great. Because one act of kindness has the ability to change the world. 第六部分：书面表达（满分25分） 61. 假设你是你校“心灵成长俱乐部”的部长李华。你们俱乐部将举办一场题为“跨越荆棘，收获芬芳（Overcoming Thorns, Gaining Fragrance）”的英语主题分享会。请用英语给你的国际朋友 Chris写一封电子邮件，邀请他参加。 内容主要包括： 1.介绍分享会的目的与主要环节（例如：故事分享、小组讨论等）； 2.结合你自己一次曾经遇到并最终克服困难的真实经历，谈谈你认为克服困难最重要的品质是什么； 3.真诚地邀请Chris参加，并鼓励他/她也可以分享自己的故事。 注意： (1)词数不少于100词； (2)可适当加入细节，使内容充实、行文连贯； (3)开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Chris, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Chris, I’m writing to invite you to a theme sharing session which is held by our school’s “Spiritual Growth Club” and whose title is “Overcoming Thorns, Gaining Fragrance”.
