It teaches the basics of grammar and pronunciation, before moving on to simple conversations. It slowly increases in difficulty, with spaced repetition (间隔重复) to help you learn. Unfortunately, the free trial is limited to just a single lesson for each language. Some lessons can feel dry and repetitive. There’s no real gamification (游戏化) here, so it doesn’t have the addictive attraction of some other apps. Babbel is $15 per month, $38 for 3 months, $67 for 6 months, $89 annually. Duolingo Designing gamification into your language practice is a clever way to keep you interested, and no other app does this better than Duolingo. It’s easy and fun to use, and you will soon find yourself eagerly keeping your daily streak (每日打卡). However, Duolingo is light on speaking and listening. The free Duolingo offers a lot of great content, but you do have to put up with ads. Duolingo is free. Super Duolingo is $13 per month or $84 annually, with a Family Plan at $120 annually. Memrise Memrise is a useful tool to learn basic vocabulary and simple conversations. It uses a familiar flashcard method to help you remember words and phrases. There are also grammar lessons and exercises. You can set goals, and lessons are quick. On the downside, the exercises can get repetitive. Additionally, there isn’t much explanation, and advanced learners should look elsewhere. Memrise is free. Memrise Pro is $15 per month, $90 annually. 1. What is a weakness of Babbel? A. It offers no free trial. B. It is highly addictive. C. It shows too many ads. D. It is boring sometimes. 2. Compared with the other two apps, what is special about Duolingo? A. It’s for free. B. It’s like a game. C. It’s easy to use. D. It teaches grammar. 3. How much do you need to pay for a membership of three months for Memrise Pro? A. $15. B. $38. C. $45. D. $90. B My family have collected bottles from sunrise to sunset all year long. My mother leaves at dawn to collect cans, and when she returns 12 hours later, I help her pull the shopping cart to the recycling center through the streets of Bushwick. I have kept it a secret all the time. I couldn’t bear the idea of my friends knowing our family live off other people’s garbage. I felt guilty for being embarrassed, but I couldn’t help it. I was not ready to trust someone else. Then I took a college essay course, which required me to write an essay about what had the greatest impact on my personal growth. I chose to write about the impact my neighborhood had on me. At the end, there was just one sentence about can collecting. One day after class, my teacher asked me to discuss my essay draft. “Your story has potential; however, it is not about personal growth. Would you tell me about the can collecting?” So I was faced with sharing my secret. But he was my teacher and I trusted him so I rewrote the essay. Two days later I found out we were expected to read our essays out loud after lunch, but I felt ashamed that my peers would know. As I headed down to the cafeteria, I met up with a friend, Mason, who I always have lunch with. I was less talkative, and Mason found that I had something on my mind. I told him I was embarrassed about my family’s story. “You should be proud that your family are struggling to take care of their loved ones.” This was what I needed to hear and I felt like I could finally breathe after all those years of hiding a part of myself. When we got back to class, I felt ready to read my draft out loud. After my classmates listened to my story, they said things like: “Each of our stories is unique to our experience and shapes us.” “Your being ashamed only hurts you.” “Accept your home and community, because they are your true family.” Now, when people ask me what my parents do for a living, I tell them, not with embarrassment or shame but with pride, that my parents are can collectors. 4. Why did the author mention can collecting very briefly in his essay? A. To highlight his family story. B. To hide his lasting secret. C. To make his essay persuasive. D. To summarize his experience. 5. What advice did Mason give to the author? A. Try hard to survive the poverty (贫穷) B. Show greater love for his family. C. Form the habit of talking more. D. Treasure his family’s struggles. 6. What caused the author to change his attitude towards his family secret? A. Mason’s encouraging words. B. Taking a college essay course. C. Reading the essay aloud in class. D. His teacher’s guidance on the essay. 7. How did the classmates respond after listening to the author’s story? A. They gave some criticism. B. They showed great pity. C They expressed thanks. D. They offered persuasion. C Eating a plant-based diet has been shown to be very good for your heart and your overall health. In fact, a recent study found a young person could live an additional 13 years by eating more vegetables and legumes (豆类), as well as whole grains, fruit and nuts. The findings of a new analysis of the diets of nearly 400,000 UK adults published Monday in the journal Frontiers in Nutrition are rather shocking: Eating veggies, especially cooked ones, doesn’t reduce your risk of heart disease over time. “Our large study did not find evidence for a protective effect of vegetable intake on the occurrence of CVD (心血管疾病),” said Qi Feng, an epidemiologist at the University of Oxford, in a statement. While the study found eating raw veggies could protect against heart disease, cooked vegetables did not. Any benefit went away when researchers factored in lifestyle factors such as physical activity, educational level, smoking, drinking, fruit intake, red and processed meat consumption, and use of mineral and vitamin supplements. “Instead, our analyses show that the seemingly protective effect of vegetable intake against CVD risk is very likely to be accounted for by bias (偏差)... related to differences in socioeconomic situation and lifestyle,” Feng said. Don’t start celebrating yet, veggie haters. Experts in the UK and United States quickly took exception to the study’s conclusion. “Although this study found that eating more vegetables wasn’t associated with a lower risk of heart and circulatory diseases once other lifestyle and other factors were taken into account, that doesn’t mean we should stop eating vegetables,” said Victoria Taylor, a senior dietitian at the British Heart Foundation, in a statement. “The results are not surprising. Picking out one single component and assuming just adding it to the diet, e. g., vegetables, is not likely to result in the desired effect,” Alice Lichtenstein, director and senior scientist at Tufts University’s Cardiovascular Nutrition Laboratory, told CNN in an email. “One thing that has become clear over the past decade is that we should not be looking at single foods or nutrients, rather the whole dietary pattern,” said Lichtenstein. 8. What can we learn from the new study led by Feng? A It followed a young UK person for 13 years. B. Its findings came as no surprise to other people. C. It overturned the conclusion of previous studies. D. Its purpose was to find the right vegetables for people. 9. What did Feng imply about vegetables’ protective effect? A. It was totally made up by some researchers. B. It still held true despite some different findings. C. It could only be achieved by living a healthy lifestyle. D. It was a misconception caused by differences in people. 10. What does the underlined phrase “take exception to” in Paragraph 6 mean? A. Voice objections to. B. Add details to. C. Show respect for. D. Take notice of. 11. What did Lichtenstein think of the study? A. It was groundbreaking. B. It was one-sided. C. It would cause confusion. D. It needed more evidence. D Imagine a customer-service center that speaks your language, no matter what it is. Alorica, a company in Irvine, California, which runs customer-service centers around the world, has introduced an artificial intelligence (AI) translation tool that lets its workers talk with customers who speak 200 different languages and 75 dialects. So an Alorica worker who speaks, say, only Spanish can deal with a complaint about an incorrect bank statement from a Cantonese speaker in Hong Kong. And it wouldn’t need to hire an employee who speaks Cantonese. However, Alorica isn’t cutting jobs. It will increasingly hire those who are comfortable with new technology. Potentially, the threat: Perhaps companies won’t need as many employees — and will cut some jobs — if chatbots can handle the workload instead. Consider Suumit Shah, an Indian businessman who caused an uproar last year by saying that he had replaced 90% of his customer support staff with a chatbot named Lina. The move at Shah’s company, Dukaan, which helps customers set up e-commerce sites, reduced the response time to an inquiry from 1 minute, 44 seconds to “instant”. It also cut the typical time needed to solve problems from more than two hours to just over three minutes. Similarly, researchers at Harvard Business School found in a study last year that job postings for writers, coders and artists decreased greatly within eight months of the arrival of ChatGPT. But being exposed to AI doesn’t necessarily mean losing your job to it. The Swedish furniture retailer IKEA, for example, introduced a customer-service chatbot in 2021 to handle simple inquiries. Instead of cutting jobs, IKEA retrained 8,500 customer-service workers to handle such tasks as advising customers on interior design and fielding complex customer calls. The experience at Alorica and IKEA suggests that AI may not prove to be the job killer that many people fear. Instead, the technology might turn out to be more like breakthroughs of the past—the steam engine, electricity and the Internet, which get rid of some jobs while creating others and probably make workers more productive in general to the eventual benefit of workers themselves, their employers and the economy. 12. What does the author want to tell us by the example in paragraph 1? A. The power of AI. B. The threat from humans. C. The customer requirements. D. The tips on language learning. 13. What advantage does Lina have over other staff? A. Winning the trust of customers. B. Responding to customers faster. C. Selling more products to customers. D. Having a great relationship with Shah. 14. What were IKEA’s customer-service workers asked to do in 2021? A. Take on other duties. B. Leave their company. C. Move to HongKong. D. Develop latest chatbots. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. How Will AI Change Our Lives? B. How Should We Use AI Effectively? C. Will AI Take Away Many Human Jobs? D. What Is the Future of Traditional Companies? 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) How to Be More Present Many people have a tendency to live in the past or the future.

Every day, their teachers gave them loads of homework and told them the test was very important and that they ought to spare no effort to perform well in it. Everyone followed the teachers’ instructions and made preparations for it, except Marc. He just turned a deaf ear to it. He thought he would rather play football than study. His mum and dad repeated the importance of revision for exams over and over again. They told him that he should be working hard preparing for the test. But the weather was sunny and he thought he had better things to do. “Shall we go to the park?” he said to his friend Huck one afternoon. “It’s a nice day. We could play football and kick around.” Huck shook his head. “I’m supposed to review my lessons,” he said. “I’m going home to do some math.” Marc was amazed. “You’d rather do math than play football?” “Math is important. Besides, my mum says she will buy me a mountain bike if I do well in the math exam.” “That’s crazy,” said Marc. Huck shrugged (耸肩) and replied, “Wait until I beat you in the test and you will watch me riding past on my mountain bike!” “You won’t beat me,” said Marc. “Oh yes, I will.” “Oh no, you won’t! That will never happen. Just wait and see!” For the first time ever Marc wanted to perform well. He couldn’t bear it if his friend came top and he did badly. So when he got home, he opened his math book. But there was so much to do. All of a sudden, he felt like he’d forgotten everything he had learned that year! He didn’t know where to start. When his sister Lily came in, he was sitting expressionlessly by the desk, just staring out of the window. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式作答。 “You don’t look happy, Marc. What’s wrong?” she said. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the day of the exam, Marc went to school with great confidence. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 襄阳一中高一年级期中考试英语试题 考试时间：120分钟 试卷分值：150分 第一部分：听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。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．What does the man ask the woman to do?

My mother leaves at dawn to collect cans, and when she returns 12 hours later, I help her pull the shopping cart to the recycling center through the streets of Bushwick.

My mother leaves at dawn to collect cans, and when she returns 12 hours later, I help her pull the shopping cart to the recycling center through the streets of Bushwick. I have kept it a secret all the time.(我们全家一年到头都在不停地收集瓶子。我母亲黎明时分就出门去收集易拉罐，12个小时后她回来时，我会帮她把购物车推过布什威克的街道，送到回收站。我一直把这个秘密藏在心底)”可知，作者简短地提到了易拉罐收藏是为了隐藏他长久以来的秘密。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“I was less talkative, and Mason found that I had something on my mind. I told him I was embarrassed about my family’s story. “You should be proud that your family are struggling to take care of their loved ones.”(我变得不爱说话了，而梅森察觉到我似乎有所牵挂。我告诉他，自己对家族的经历感到有些尴尬。“你应该为你的家人能够努力照顾好他们所爱的人而感到骄傲。”)”可知，梅森建议作者珍惜他的家人的努力。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“I was less talkative, and Mason found that I had something on my mind. I told him I was embarrassed about my family’s story. “You should be proud that your family are struggling to take care of their loved ones.” This was what I needed to hear and I felt like I could finally breathe after all those years of hiding a part of myself.(我变得不爱说话了，而梅森发现我其实心里有话要说。我告诉他，自己对家族的经历感到有些尴尬。“你应该为你的家人能够努力照顾好他们所爱的人而感到骄傲。”这就是我所需要的听到的话，多年来一直隐藏自己的一部分自我，如今终于能够坦然面对了)”可知，是梅森鼓励的话使作者改变了对家庭秘密的态度。故选A。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“After my classmates listened to my story, they said things like: “Each of our stories is unique to our experience and shapes us.” “Your being ashamed only hurts you.” “Accept your home and community, because they are your true family.”(在我同学听完我的故事后，他们说了这样的话：“我们每个人的故事都与我们的经历息息相关，并塑造了我们自己。”“你的羞愧只会伤害到你自己。”“接受你的家庭和社区吧，因为它们才是你真正的家人。”)”可知，同学们听了作者的故事后提出劝说。故选D。 C Eating a plant-based diet has been shown to be very good for your heart and your overall health. In fact, a recent study found a young person could live an additional 13 years by eating more vegetables and legumes (豆类), as well as whole grains, fruit and nuts. The findings of a new analysis of the diets of nearly 400,000 UK adults published Monday in the journal Frontiers in Nutrition are rather shocking: Eating veggies, especially cooked ones, doesn’t reduce your risk of heart disease over time. “Our large study did not find evidence for a protective effect of vegetable intake on the occurrence of CVD (心血管疾病),” said Qi Feng, an epidemiologist at the University of Oxford, in a statement. While the study found eating raw veggies could protect against heart disease, cooked vegetables did not. Any benefit went away when researchers factored in lifestyle factors such as physical activity, educational level, smoking, drinking, fruit intake, red and processed meat consumption, and use of mineral and vitamin supplements. “Instead, our analyses show that the seemingly protective effect of vegetable intake against CVD risk is very likely to be accounted for by bias (偏差)... related to differences in socioeconomic situation and lifestyle,” Feng said. Don’t start celebrating yet, veggie haters. Experts in the UK and United States quickly took exception to the study’s conclusion. “Although this study found that eating more vegetables wasn’t associated with a lower risk of heart and circulatory diseases once other lifestyle and other factors were taken into account, that doesn’t mean we should stop eating vegetables,” said Victoria Taylor, a senior dietitian at the British Heart Foundation, in a statement. “The results are not surprising. Picking out one single component and assuming just adding it to the diet, e. g., vegetables, is not likely to result in the desired effect,” Alice Lichtenstein, director and senior scientist at Tufts University’s Cardiovascular Nutrition Laboratory, told CNN in an email. “One thing that has become clear over the past decade is that we should not be looking at single foods or nutrients, rather the whole dietary pattern,” said Lichtenstein. 8. What can we learn from the new study led by Feng? A. It followed a young UK person for 13 years. B. Its findings came as no surprise to other people. C. It overturned the conclusion of previous studies. D. Its purpose was to find the right vegetables for people. 9. What did Feng imply about vegetables’ protective effect? A. It was totally made up by some researchers. B. It still held true despite some different findings. C. It could only be achieved by living a healthy lifestyle. D. It was a misconception caused by differences in people. 10 What does the underlined phrase “take exception to” in Paragraph 6 mean? A. Voice objections to. B. Add details to. C. Show respect for. D. Take notice of. 11. What did Lichtenstein think of the study? A. It was groundbreaking. B. It was one-sided. C. It would cause confusion. D. It needed more evidence. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项关于植物基饮食对心脏健康影响的研究结果，并讨论了研究结论及其受到的质疑。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The findings of a new analysis of the diets of nearly 400,000 UK adults published Monday in the journal Frontiers in Nutrition are rather shocking: Eating veggies, especially cooked ones, doesn’t reduce your risk of heart disease over time. (周一发表在《营养前沿》杂志上的一项对近40万英国成年人饮食的新分析结果相当令人震惊：长期食用蔬菜，尤其是煮熟的蔬菜，并不能降低患心脏病的风险)”和第三段““Our large study did not find evidence for a protective effect of vegetable intake on the occurrence of CVD (心血管疾病),” said Qi Feng, an epidemiologist at the University of Oxford, in a statement. (牛津大学的流行病学家齐峰在一份声明中说：“我们的大型研究没有发现蔬菜摄入对心血管疾病的发生有保护作用的证据。”)”可知，这项研究发现烹饪过的蔬菜并不能降低心脏病风险，颠覆了之前的研究结论。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段““Instead, our analyses show that the seemingly protective effect of vegetable intake against CVD risk is very likely to be accounted for by bias (偏差)... related to differences in socioeconomic situation and lifestyle,” Feng said. (“相反，我们的分析表明，蔬菜摄入对心血管疾病风险的表面保护作用很可能是由偏见造成的……这与社会经济状况和生活方式的差异有关，”冯说)”可知，冯认为这是由于人与人之间的差异造成的误解。故选D。 10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第六段中“Don’t start celebrating yet, veggie haters. Experts in the UK and United States quickly (讨厌素食者们，先别开始庆祝。英国和美国的专家很快)”和第七段““Although this study found that eating more vegetables wasn’t associated with a lower risk of heart and circulatory diseases once other lifestyle and other factors were taken into account, that doesn’t mean we should stop eating vegetables,” said Victoria Taylor, a senior dietitian at the British Heart Foundation, in a statement. (英国心脏基金会的高级营养师维多利亚·泰勒在一份声明中说：“虽然这项研究发现，一旦考虑到其他生活方式和其他因素，吃更多的蔬菜与降低患心脏和循环系统疾病的风险无关，但这并不意味着我们应该停止吃蔬菜。”)”可知，英国和美国的专家提出了异议，所以划线词组took exception to意思是“提出反对意见”。A. Voice objections to表达反对意见；B. Add details to添加细节；C. Show respect for表示尊重；D. Take notice of注意到。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““One thing that has become clear over the past decade is that we should not be looking at single foods or nutrients, rather the whole dietary pattern,” said Lichtenstein. (利希滕斯坦说：“在过去的十年里，有一件事变得很清楚，那就是我们不应该只关注单一的食物或营养素，而应该关注整个饮食模式。”)”可推知，利希滕斯坦认为这项研究是片面的，因为它只关注单一食物或营养素，而没有考虑整体饮食模式。故选B。 D Imagine a customer-service center that speaks your language, no matter what it is. Alorica, a company in Irvine, California, which runs customer-service centers around the world, has introduced an artificial intelligence (AI) translation tool that lets its workers talk with customers who speak 200 different languages and 75 dialects. So an Alorica worker who speaks, say, only Spanish can deal with a complaint about an incorrect bank statement from a Cantonese speaker in Hong Kong. And it wouldn’t need to hire an employee who speaks Cantonese. However, Alorica isn’t cutting jobs. It will increasingly hire those who are comfortable with new technology. Potentially, the threat: Perhaps companies won’t need as many employees — and will cut some jobs — if chatbots can handle the workload instead. Consider Suumit Shah, an Indian businessman who caused an uproar last year by saying that he had replaced 90% of his customer support staff with a chatbot named Lina. The move at Shah’s company, Dukaan, which helps customers set up e-commerce sites, reduced the response time to an inquiry from 1 minute, 44 seconds to “instant”. It also cut the typical time needed to solve problems from more than two hours to just over three minutes. Similarly, researchers at Harvard Business School found in a study last year that job postings for writers, coders and artists decreased greatly within eight months of the arrival of ChatGPT. But being exposed to AI doesn’t necessarily mean losing your job to it. The Swedish furniture retailer IKEA, for example, introduced a customer-service chatbot in 2021 to handle simple inquiries. Instead of cutting jobs, IKEA retrained 8,500 customer-service workers to handle such tasks as advising customers on interior design and fielding complex customer calls. The experience at Alorica and IKEA suggests that AI may not prove to be the job killer that many people fear. Instead, the technology might turn out to be more like breakthroughs of the past—the steam engine, electricity and the Internet, which get rid of some jobs while creating others and probably make workers more productive in general to the eventual benefit of workers themselves, their employers and the economy. 12. What does the author want to tell us by the example in paragraph 1? A. The power of AI. B. The threat from humans. C. The customer requirements. D. The tips on language learning. 13. What advantage does Lina have over other staff? A. Winning the trust of customers. B. Responding to customers faster. C. Selling more products to customers. D. Having a great relationship with Shah. 14. What were IKEA’s customer-service workers asked to do in 2021? A. Take on other duties. B. Leave their company. C. Move to HongKong. D. Develop latest chatbots. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. How Will AI Change Our Lives? B. How Should We Use AI Effectively? C. Will AI Take Away Many Human Jobs? D. What Is the Future of Traditional Companies? 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要通过实例介绍了人工智能可能不会抢走人类的很多工作。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段关键句“Alorica, a company in Irvine, California, which runs customer-service centers around the world, has introduced an artificial intelligence (AI) translation tool that lets its workers talk with customers who speak 200 different languages and 75 dialects. (Alorica是一家位于加利福尼亚州尔湾的公司，在世界各地设有客户服务中心，该公司推出了一种人工智能（AI）翻译工具，可以让员工与说200种不同语言和75种方言的客户交谈)”可知，这种人工智能翻译工具有强大的力量，可以让员工与说200种不同语言和75种方言的客户交谈，并列举了下文与香港客户交谈的例子。由此推知，作者想通过第一段中的例子告诉我们人工智能的力量。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段关键句“Consider Suumit Shah, an Indian businessman who caused an uproar last year by saying that he had replaced 90% of his customer support staff with a chatbot named Lina. The move at Shah’s company, Dukaan, which helps customers set up e-commerce sites, reduced the response time to an inquiry from 1 minute, 44 seconds to “instant”. (以印度商人苏米特·沙阿为例，他去年表示，他已经用一个名为Lina的聊天机器人取代了90%的客户支持人员，这引起了轩然大波。沙阿的公司Dukaan帮助客户建立电子商务网站，此举将查询的响应时间从1分44秒缩短到“即时”)”可知，名为Lina的聊天机器人将查询的响应时间从1分44秒缩短到“即时”。由此可知，Lina比其他员工有的优势是能够更快地回应客户。故选B项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段关键句“Instead of cutting jobs, IKEA retrained 8,500 customer-service workers to handle such tasks as advising customers on interior design and fielding complex customer calls. (宜家没有裁员，而是对8500名客户服务人员进行了再培训，以处理室内设计咨询和接听复杂客户电话等任务)”可知，宜家要求原来的客户服务人员处理室内设计咨询和接听复杂客户电话等任务。由此可知，2021年，宜家的客服人员被要求承担其他职责。故选A项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合最后一段关键句“The experience at Alorica and IKEA suggests that AI may not prove to be the job killer that many people fear. (Alorica和宜家的经验表明，人工智能可能不会成为许多人担心的就业杀手)”可知，文章通过不同公司的例子告诉我们，人工智能不会成为人类的就业杀手。由此可知，“Will AI Take Away Many Human Jobs?(人工智能会夺走许多人类工作吗？)”能够概括文章主题。故选C项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) How to Be More Present Many people have a tendency to live in the past or the future.

Now close your eyes and take a deep breath. ____17____ When you do, it’s easier to be more present in the moment. Be Grateful for What You Have Now ____18____ If you are constantly focused on things you don’t have, you aren’t taking the time to appreciate what you have at this moment. One way to practice gratitude is to write a list of things you are grateful for and review that list on a daily basis. Try to write at least three things you are grateful for in your life right now. Show Acceptance If you want to learn how to be more present, you need to let go of how you think things should be and accept them for what they are. ____19____ Sometimes life is going to be different than how you want it to be. Practicing acceptance will help you let go of the things in your life that are out of your control. Find Positive Social Support The kind of social support you have in your life can also play an important role. Surrounding yourself with positive, supportive people will increase your own positivity and happiness levels. ____20____ A. Then open them and really take in where you are. B. You should focus your attention on one thing at a time. C. You cannot control everything that happens around you. D. This is one way to distance yourself from what you are enjoying. E. In turn, this will allow you to focus on what is going on right now. F. Part of living in the present moment is to appreciate what you have now. G. So learning how to live in the moment can greatly improve your well-being. 【答案】16. G 17. A 18. F 19. C 20. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明活在当下的意义和可行的方法。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Many people have a tendency to live in the past or the future. They constantly think about the past and worry about the future, and thus find it difficult to enjoy the good things in life in the here and now. You might unfortunately be one of these people. (许多人都倾向于活在过去或未来。他们总是想着过去，担心未来，因此很难在此时此刻享受生活中的美好事物。很不幸，你可能就是这些人中的一员。)”可知，本段开头说明没有活在当下给人们带来的危害，然后提到读者也可能是其中一员，说明这种现象的危害。G项“学会活在当下可以极大地提升你的生活幸福感。”可以承接上文。故选G。 【17题详解】 本段小标题为“Notice Your Surroundings (关注你的周围)”，因此A项与上文衔接自然，表示“现在闭上眼睛，深吸一口气，然后睁开眼睛，认真观察你所处的环境”。A项中的“where you are”与小标题中的“Your Surroundings”相呼应。故选A。 【18题详解】 本段的小标题为“Be Grateful for What You Have Now (感恩你所拥有的)”可知，本句是对小标题的更详细的解释；且F项中“appreciate”与小标题中的“Be Grateful for”、空后的“you are grateful for”相呼应。故选F。 【19题详解】 本段小标题为“Show Acceptance (接受现实)”以及空前“If you want to learn how to be more present, you need to let go of how you think things should be and accept them for what they are. (如果你想学会如何活在当下，你需要放下你认为事情应该是什么样子的想法，接受它们的本来面目。)”介绍“接受现实”的方法：通过放弃幻想来接受现实。本空接着解释要放弃幻想的原因：人不可能控制发生在自身周围的一切。C选项“你不能控制发生在你周围的每件事。”符合语境。故选C。 【20题详解】 本段小标题为“Find Positive Social Support (寻积极正面的社交支持)”以及空前“The kind of social support you have in your life can also play an important role. Surrounding yourself with positive, supportive people will increase your own positivity and happiness levels. (你生活中的社会支持也会发挥重要作用。和积极、支持你的人在一起会增加你的积极性和幸福感。)”提到“与积极正面的人交往会增加你自己的正能量和幸福感”，所以此处选E“相应地，这种正能量和幸福感会使你更关注身边正在发生的事情”承接上文。故选E。 第三部分(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) I was on a small boat alone, out on the vast ocean.

Every day, their teachers gave them loads of homework and told them the test was very important and that they ought to spare no effort to perform well in it. Everyone followed the teachers’ instructions and made preparations for it, except Marc. He just turned a deaf ear to it. He thought he would rather play football than study. His mum and dad repeated the importance of revision for exams over and over again. They told him that he should be working hard preparing for the test. But the weather was sunny and he thought he had better things to do. “Shall we go to the park?” he said to his friend Huck one afternoon. “It’s a nice day. We could play football and kick around.” Huck shook his head. “I’m supposed to review my lessons,” he said. “I’m going home to do some math.” Marc was amazed. “You’d rather do math than play football?” “Math is important. Besides, my mum says she will buy me a mountain bike if I do well in the math exam.” “That’s crazy,” said Marc. Huck shrugged (耸肩) and replied, “Wait until I beat you in the test and you will watch me riding past on my mountain bike!” “You won’t beat me,” said Marc. “Oh yes, I will.” “Oh no, you won’t! That will never happen. Just wait and see!” For the first time ever, Marc wanted to perform well. He couldn’t bear it if his friend came top and he did badly. So when he got home, he opened his math book. But there was so much to do. All of a sudden, he felt like he’d forgotten everything he had learned that year! He didn’t know where to start. When his sister Lily came in, he was sitting expressionlessly by the desk, just staring out of the window. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式作答。 “You don’t look happy, Marc. What’s wrong?” she said. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the day of the exam, Marc went to school with great confidence. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】“You don’t look happy, Marc. What’s wrong?” she said. Explaining what had happened, especially the bet between him and Huck, he told Lily his decision. He wanted to make careful preparations for the exam, but ran into difficulties with math. He was at a loss what to do next. “Don’t worry! I’ll help you. Just be confident!” replied Lily. The following days, Marc worked very hard and made great progress. Gradually, his confidence grew and he could solve math problems with ease, with the instructions appearing in his brain as if the teacher was standing at his side . On the day of the exam, Marc went to school with great confidence. He met Huck in the classroom, who looked delighted as if he was bound to win. But Marc didn’t care. When the exam began, Marc answered all the questions as best as he could. Several days later, the result came out. It turned out that Marc did much better than Huck. “Well done,” said Mom. “We could go to see a movie to celebrate, and you can choose one.” “I think Lily should choose,” said Marc. “I would never have gained such a great achievement without her help and encouragement .” 【解析】 【导语】文章以考试为线索。马上要考试了，同学们都积极努力地备考，除了贪玩的Marc。一天下午，Marc邀请好友Huck去踢足球，Huck拒绝了，他要认真学习，考出好成绩，这样妈妈会送给他一辆山地自行车。而且Huck还说自己一定会比Marc考得好。这让Marc备受刺激，他决心认真准备考试，但他感觉到很困难。于是在姐姐的帮助下，Marc积极准备考试，考出了好成绩。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“她说：‘Marc，你看起来不开心。怎么了?’”可知，本段可以写Marc会告诉姐姐Lily发生了什么事，以及自己遇到的困难，姐姐在得知Marc的困难之后应该会施以援手，帮助Marc复习功课，准备考试。在姐姐的帮助和自己的努力下，Mare在数学上应是有了很大的进步。 ②由第二段首句内容“考试那天，Marc自信满满地去了学校。”可知，本段可以写考试前、考试中以及考试后发生的事情。比如考试前Marc和Huck各自的状态，考试期间Marc的表现，以及考试成绩出来后，Marc取得了非常优异的成绩和Huck或Marc家人对此的反应等。 2.续写线索：Lily询问Marc→Marc讲述了自己遇到的困难→Lily帮助Marc复习→Marc成功地通过考试，且比Huck考得高→妈妈想要奖励Marc→Marc觉得奖励应该给Lily。 3.词汇激活： 行为类： 选择：choose/make a choice/make an option 增加了信心：grow confidence/build up confidence/double confidence 解决：solve/work out/tackle 情绪类： 充满信心：be confident/be full of confidence 高兴的：delighted/pleased/cheerful/be overcome with delight 感到困惑：be at a loss/be confused/be confounded 【点睛】【高分句型1】 Explaining what had happened, especially the bet between him and Huck, he told Lily his decision.(运用了现在分词作状语。) 【高分句型2】 He met Huck in the classroom, who looked delighted as if he was bound to win.(运用了who引导定语从句。) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
