Explorations can happen in the classroom, laboratory or field. As part of your science lessons, you will take part in many activities using many different materials, equipment and chemicals, which can be dangerous if not used correctly. As a result, you may be faced with biological, chemical or physical hazards. Safety is THE MOST IMPORTANT thing. The following safety rules have been developed for the protection and safety of everyone. ★Behave yourself in a responsible way at all times. Risky behavior-such as throwing things and doing experiments without teachers’ instructions is not allowed. ★Eating, drinking, chewing gum, wearing make-up, touching contact lenses (隐形眼镜) or other unsafe activities are not allowed. ★Do not enter or work in the laboratory unless an instructor is present. ★Never enter areas where chemicals are kept. ★Taking any chemicals or equipment away from the classroom or laboratory is not allowed. The safety rules must be followed at all times. Review these rules with your teacher and parents, then sign and get the signature (签名) of a parent. The signature shows that you understand the lab can be dangerous, and that you have read the rules and agree to follow them at all times. Signatures are needed before you can go on with any lab or science classroom activity. 21. What does the underlined word “hazards” probably mean in Paragraph 1? A. illnesses. B. examinations. C. dangers. D. experiments. 22. Which of the following might be allowed in the lab? A. Drinking soda. B. Having breakfast. C. Taking away chemicals. D. Wearing glasses. 23.

B An Indonesian librarian is lending books to children in exchange for trash they collect in a novel way to clean up the environment and get the kids to read more. Each weekday, Raden Roro Hendarti, a librarian in Indonesia’s Java Island rides her three-wheeler with books piled up at the back for children in Muntang village to exchange for plastic cups, bags and other waste that she carries back. As soon as she shows up, little children, many accompanied by their mothers, surround her “Trash Library” and ask loudly for the books. They are all carrying trash bags and Raden’s three-wheeler quickly fills up with them as the books fly out. She’s happy the kids are going to spend less time on online games as a result. “Let us get kids to read more and build a culture of literacy from a young age,” Raden said. “We should also take care of our waste in order to fight against climate change and to save the earth from trash,” she said. She collects about 100 kg of waste each week, which is then sorted out by her colleagues and sent for recycling or sold. She has a stock of 6,000 books to lend and wants to take the mobile service to neighboring areas as well. Kevin Alamsyah, an eager 11-year-old reader, looks for waste lying in the village. “When there is too much trash, our environment will become dirty and it’s not healthy. That’s why I look for trash to borrow a book,” he says. The literacy rate for above-15-year-olds in Indonesia is around 96 percent, but a September report by the World Bank warned that the pandemic will leave more than 80% of 15-year-olds below the minimum reading level identified by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. 24. What is “Trash Library” like? A. Well-decorated. B. Noisy and dirty. C. Relaxing. D. Popular. 25. Why does Raden run the “Trash Library”? A. To fight against climate change. B. To collect trash for money. C. To help kids get away from online games. D. To get kids to read more and care for the environment. 26. What can we infer from the passage? A. Indonesia’s environmental situation is worrying. B. People in Indonesia has a very low literacy rate. C. The trash library has been introduced to many other cities. D. The pandemic has a negative effect on teenagers’ reading. 27. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. A Novel Way to Improve Library B. The Indonesian System for Reading C. Your Trash Benefiting the Environment D. Your Collected Trash for Our Books C In recent years, researchers of Cornell University’s Food and Brand Lab are studying how environmental factors influence many Americans to unnoticeably eat too much. Many people wrongly believe that factors like hunger or boredom and depression are the main causes of overeating, but their research has shown otherwise. It is thought that we overeat if the food is good or if we’re really hungry. In reality, those are two of the last things that determine how much we eat. In one experiment, the researcher placed jars of candies in workers’ offices for a month. Then, he moved the candies 1.8 m away. The office workers ate five more candies each day when the jar was closer to them, equaling an additional 125 calories a day. It does not sound too bad, but add that up over a year and you will have gained 5.4 kg. “If something is visible, every time we see it, we have to make a decision: to eat it or not?” the researcher explained. In the other experiment, moviegoers were given five-day-old popcorn, some in medium-size buckets, some in large buckets. The researcher found that moviegoers who had the larger buckets ate 53 percent more, despite its unpleasant taste. He believes that the distraction of the movie and hearing others eat the popcorn persuade people to keep eating. The findings in other researches have shown that we tend to eat more when we use larger dishes, eat in front of the television, or dine with someone who eats a lot. Researchers of the lab advise a gradual approach in changing eating habits. People can cut a couple of hundred calories a day by doing things such as avoiding open food dishes at the office, using smaller serving bowls, sitting next to the slowest eater and being the last one to start eating. 28. What is the truth shown by the study? A. We eat more when the food is good. B. People tend to eat a lot when they dine out. C. Feeling depressed leads us to overeat. D. Hunger is not the key factor in overeating. 29. What can we learn from the two experiments? A. People turn to more candies for more energy. B. Office workers eat more candies due to visibility. C. Moviegoers eat more popcorn because it is tasty. D. People keep eating popcorn to enjoy the movie. 30. What is suggested in changing eating habits? A. Dining with slim persons. B. Eating while watching films C. Using smaller dishes. D. Starting eating earlier. 31. What is the purpose of the text? A. To display a research process. B. To instruct how to do research experiments. C. To warn against overeating. D. To advise being a mindful eater. D After Horizon: An American Saga was screened recently during the Cannes Film Festival, the audience clapped for seven minutes. And that’s not even the longest clapping in the festival’s history. That prize goes to Pan’s Labyrinth’s 22-minute clapping in 2006. Humans probably started clapping early in our history, writes psychologist Alan Crawley in a 2023 review of research on the topic. Our ancestors may not have screened movies, but in the absence of spoken language, they may have realized they could use clapping to signal danger, or frighten enemies. Clapping’s simplicity and effectiveness make it a universal practice. While babies rarely clap before their first birthday, children master it quickly, gaining its global popularity. Unlike complex gestures (e. g., finger-clicking) , clapping produces loud, effortless noise — Crawley calls it the “non-vocal signal with the highest sound volume.” Socially, it balances politeness and enthusiasm, avoiding the rudeness of screaming, which allows clapping to adapt to contexts ranging from polite theater audiences to lively sports crowds. It also can be an act that strengthens social ties. During some hard times, the practice of organized clapping was, on the surface, about showing appreciation for key workers. Clapping often spreads like a “social disease,” as observed in studies by Richard Mann in 2013. In academic settings, clapping typically begins with a few individuals, resulting in a chain reaction. Anyone in a crowd will know that a mere handful of clappers can sometimes cause a room of people to follow their behavior. But what about super-long clapping? Why not just leave it at a minute or two? Back in 2013, Mann told BBC News that the length of clapping did not connect with the quality of the performance. “You have this social pressure to start clapping, but once you’ve started there’s an equally strong social pressure not to stop, until someone starts that stopping.” Then the conclusion would be this: no one in the room wants to be seen — or in the social media age, filmed — as the first one to stop. 32. What does Alan Crawley suggest about the origin of human clapping? A. It was adopted to replace spoken language. B. It developed from ancestors’ survival strategies. C. It appeared as a form of entertainment during festivals. D. It was first used to signal appreciation for performances. 33. Why is clapping a popular gesture across cultures compared to finger-clicking? A. Clapping is louder and simpler to do. B. Clapping is taught to babies earlier in life. C. Clapping is more polite and more socially accepted. D. Clapping is used to show appreciation especially in hard times. 34. What did Richard Mann’s 2013 study find about clapping? A. People clap louder when they are in large audience. B. Clapping spreads like a chain reaction in a group setting. C. Clapping seems to have no connection with social pressure. D. The quality of performances determines the length of clapping. 35. Where does the passage likely come from? A. A film review magazine. B. An entertainment news website. C. A scientific journal on human behaviour. D. A history textbook on human development. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Show Respect Whether you’re talking to your best friend or a stranger, respecting them shows that you’re kind and considerate.

Wherever she went,she was popular, with many kids following her and doing everything she did. However, her deskmate, Landy, was not in the cool kids’ group. Being the tallest kid in her class, she was ridiculed(嘲笑)by her classmates, who were always chanting(唱起……歌)“Landy, Landy, long as spaghetti(意大利面)”. Catherine didn’t really like it when the kids chanted “Landy Landy, long as spaghetti”. But she never told them to stop ridiculing Landy either, and nor did she ever talk to her. She liked being popular. One weekend, Catherine went over to visit her grandfather. Her grandfather lives on a farm, where he keeps chickens. While helping to feed the chickens, Catherine saw a special one. It looked smaller than the other chickens! “What’s the matter with it” She asked her grandfather, with a confused look on her face. Her grandfather told her how chickens could behave. “They have a pecking(啄)order,” he explained, “If one chicken is different, the others will push it away and keep pecking it. Sometimes they peck it so much that it dies.” “Oh, what a poor little guy!” Catherine picked the frightened chicken up in her arms, whose heart was beating fast in the little body. Suddenly, she thought of Landy, the girl being “pecked” by her classmates. “I’m going to take it home and take good care of it,” she said with a determined look. Back in school, Catherine told the cool kids about the chicken. “It’s looking healthy,” she said proudly. “It’s bigger and its feathers are growing. Even the cat likes it. She carries it around, and...” Everyone was impressed by Catherine’s story of her lovely chicken, laughter spreading around the classroom. Then Catherine saw Landy alone in a corner. She felt a pang of guilt as she remembered the chicken on the farm, bullied by its peers just like Landy was bullied by her classmates. The chant “Landy, Landy, long as spaghetti” echoed in her mind, but this time it felt like a cruel reminder of her own silence and inaction. Determined to make a change, Catherine made up her mind to reach out to Landy. She walked over, ignoring the whispers and curious glances from the other kids. But Catherine walked toward Landy, no matter what they said. 67. 按照时间顺序排列句子： A. Feeling sorry for the chicken, Catherine decided to take it home and care for it, and she suddenly thought of Landy who was“ bullied” like the chicken. B. Back at school, Catherine told her classmates about the chicken she cared for; everyone was impressed, and laughter filled the classroom. C. At school, Catherine was the most popular kid, while her deskmate Landy was often mocked for being tall; Catherine disliked the mockery but did nothing to stop it or talk to Landy to stay popular. D. Seeing Landy alone in a corner, Catherine felt guilty, remembered the bullied chicken, and decided to change by walking towards Landy despite others’ glances. E. One weekend, Catherine found a small chicken on her grandfather’s farm, and her grandfather explained that chickens have a “pecking order” where different ones get pushed and pecked. ________ ________ ________ ________ ________ 68. 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段，使之构成一篇完整的短文 But Catherine walked toward Landy, no matter what they said. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 独山子第二中学2025-2026学年第一学期期中考试 高二英语试卷（平行班） 注意事项： 1、答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考号、班级信息填写在答题卡上。 2、将答案写在答题卡上，写在试卷上无效。考试结束后请妥善保管好试卷，以备考试后上课老师讲评试卷时使用。 3、考试范围：外研版选择性必修第一册Unit 1-Unit3. 4、本试卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 第一部分 基础知识（共二节，满分30分） 第一节 课文语法填空。（共10小题，每小题1. 5分，共15分） 1.

Each weekday, Raden Roro Hendarti, a librarian in Indonesia’s Java Island rides her three-wheeler with books piled up at the back for children in Muntang village to exchange for plastic cups, bags and other waste that she carries back. As soon as she shows up, little children, many accompanied by their mothers, surround her “Trash Library” and ask loudly for the books. They are all carrying trash bags and Raden’s three-wheeler quickly fills up with them as the books fly out. She’s happy the kids are going to spend less time on online games as a result. “Let us get kids to read more and build a culture of literacy from a young age,” Raden said. “We should also take care of our waste in order to fight against climate change and to save the earth from trash,” she said. She collects about 100 kg of waste each week, which is then sorted out by her colleagues and sent for recycling or sold. She has a stock of 6,000 books to lend and wants to take the mobile service to neighboring areas as well. Kevin Alamsyah, an eager 11-year-old reader, looks for waste lying in the village. “When there is too much trash, our environment will become dirty and it’s not healthy. That’s why I look for trash to borrow a book,” he says. The literacy rate for above-15-year-olds in Indonesia is around 96 percent, but a September report by the World Bank warned that the pandemic will leave more than 80% of 15-year-olds below the minimum reading level identified by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. 24. What is “Trash Library” like? A. Well-decorated. B. Noisy and dirty. C. Relaxing. D. Popular. 25. Why does Raden run the “Trash Library”? A. To fight against climate change. B. To collect trash for money. C. To help kids get away from online games. D. To get kids to read more and care for the environment. 26. What can we infer from the passage? A. Indonesia’s environmental situation is worrying. B. People in Indonesia has a very low literacy rate. C. The trash library has been introduced to many other cities. D. The pandemic has a negative effect on teenagers’ reading. 27. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. A Novel Way to Improve Library B. The Indonesian System for Reading C. Your Trash Benefiting the Environment D. Your Collected Trash for Our Books 【答案】24. D 25. D 26. D 27. D 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了印度尼西亚爪哇岛的一名图书管理员正以一种新颖的方式鼓励孩子们在获取知识的同时保护环境——孩子们可以用收集来的垃圾换书看。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“As soon as she shows up, little children, many accompanied by their mothers, surround her “Trash Library” and ask loudly for the books.”（她一出现，许多孩子在母亲的陪伴下围在她的“垃圾图书馆”周围，大声索要书籍。）可知，“垃圾图书馆”是受欢迎的。故选D项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段““Let us get kids to read more and build a culture of literacy from a young age,” Raden said. “We should also take care of our waste in order to fight against climate change and to save the earth from trash,” she said.”（雷登说：“让我们让孩子们多读书，从小培养识字文化。”。她说：“为了对抗气候变化，保护地球免受垃圾的污染，我们也应该处理我们的垃圾。”。）可知，雷登经营“垃圾图书馆”是为了让孩子们多读书，并关心环境。故选D项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The literacy rate for above-15-year-olds in Indonesia is around 96 percent, but a September report by the World Bank warned that the pandemic will leave more than 80% of 15-year-olds below the minimum reading level identified by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.”（印度尼西亚15岁以上儿童的识字率约为96%，但世界银行9月的一份报告警告称，这场大流行病将使80%以上的15岁儿童低于经济合作与发展组织设定的最低阅读水平。）可知，大流行病对青少年的阅读有负面影响。故选D项。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“An Indonesian librarian is lending books to children in exchange for trash they collect in a novel way to clean up the environment and get the kids to read more.”（一名印尼图书管理员正在借书给孩子们，以一种新颖的方式交换他们收集的垃圾，从而清洁环境，让孩子们多读书。）以及文章内容可知，文章主要讲述了孩子们可以用收集来的垃圾换书看，所以“你收集垃圾换得我们的书”可以作为文章标题。故选D项。 C In recent years, researchers of Cornell University’s Food and Brand Lab are studying how environmental factors influence many Americans to unnoticeably eat too much. Many people wrongly believe that factors like hunger or boredom and depression are the main causes of overeating, but their research has shown otherwise. It is thought that we overeat if the food is good or if we’re really hungry. In reality, those are two of the last things that determine how much we eat. In one experiment, the researcher placed jars of candies in workers’ offices for a month. Then, he moved the candies 1.8 m away. The office workers ate five more candies each day when the jar was closer to them, equaling an additional 125 calories a day. It does not sound too bad, but add that up over a year and you will have gained 5.4 kg. “If something is visible, every time we see it, we have to make a decision: to eat it or not?” the researcher explained. In the other experiment, moviegoers were given five-day-old popcorn, some in medium-size buckets, some in large buckets. The researcher found that moviegoers who had the larger buckets ate 53 percent more, despite its unpleasant taste. He believes that the distraction of the movie and hearing others eat the popcorn persuade people to keep eating. The findings in other researches have shown that we tend to eat more when we use larger dishes, eat in front of the television, or dine with someone who eats a lot. Researchers of the lab advise a gradual approach in changing eating habits. People can cut a couple of hundred calories a day by doing things such as avoiding open food dishes at the office, using smaller serving bowls, sitting next to the slowest eater and being the last one to start eating. 28. What is the truth shown by the study? A. We eat more when the food is good. B. People tend to eat a lot when they dine out. C. Feeling depressed leads us to overeat. D Hunger is not the key factor in overeating. 29. What can we learn from the two experiments? A. People turn to more candies for more energy. B. Office workers eat more candies due to visibility. C. Moviegoers eat more popcorn because it is tasty. D. People keep eating popcorn to enjoy the movie. 30. What is suggested in changing eating habits? A. Dining with slim persons. B. Eating while watching films C. Using smaller dishes. D. Starting eating earlier. 31. What is the purpose of the text? A. To display a research process. B. To instruct how to do research experiments. C. To warn against overeating. D. To advise being a mindful eater. 【答案】28. D 29. B 30. C 31. D 【解析】 【分析】本文是说明文。文章主要讲述了研究发现环境因素影响我们吃得过多，我们应该逐渐改变饮食习惯，减少食物的摄入，成为一个警觉的饮食者。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“Many people wrongly believe that factors like hunger or boredom and depression are the main causes of overeating, but their research has shown otherwise. It is thought that we overeat if the food is good or if we're really hungry. In reality, those are two of the last things that determine how much we eat.( 许多人错误地认为，饥饿、无聊和抑郁是暴饮暴食的主要原因，但他们的研究表明，情况并非如此。人们认为，如果食物很好，或者我们真的很饿，我们就会吃得过多。事实上，这是决定我们吃多少的最后两件事。)”可知，这个研究表明饥饿并不是暴饮暴食的关键因素。故选D。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“The office workers ate five more candies each day when the jar was closer to them, equaling an additional 125 calories a day.( 当罐子离他们较近时，办公室职员每天会多吃5块糖果，相当于每天多摄入125卡路里。)”和“‘If something is visible, every time we see it, we have to make a decision: to eat it or not?’the researcher explained.( 研究人员解释说:“如果某些东西是可见的，我们每次看到它时都必须做出决定:吃还是不吃?”)”可推断，办公室职员会因为看得见而吃更多的糖果。故选B。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段的“Researchers of the lab advise a gradual approach in changing eating habits. People can cut a couple of hundred calories a day by doing things such as avoiding open food dishes at the office, using smaller serving bowls, sitting next to the slowest eater and being the last one to start eating.( 实验室的研究人员建议循序渐进地改变饮食习惯。人们每天可以通过一些事情来减少几百卡路里的热量，比如在办公室里避免打开食物，使用较小的餐具，坐在吃得最慢的人旁边，以及最后一个开始吃饭。)”可知，在改变饮食习惯方面，建议使用更小的餐具。故选C。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段的“In recent years, researchers of Cornell University's Food and Brand Lab are studying how environmental factors influence many Americans to unnoticeably eat too much.( 近年来，康奈尔大学的食品和品牌实验室的研究人员正在研究环境因素如何影响许多美国人不加注意地吃得过多。)”以及最后一段的“The findings in other researches have shown that we tend to eat more when we use larger dishes, eat in front of the television, or dine with someone who eats a lot.( 其他研究发现，当我们使用更大的盘子、在电视机前吃饭或和吃得多的人一起吃饭时，我们倾向于吃得更多)”以及最后一段的建议可知，本文主要讲述了研究发现环境因素影响我们吃得过多，并给出了逐渐改变饮食习惯，减少食物摄入的建议，因此推断本文的目的是建议人们成为一个警觉的饮食者。故选D。 D After Horizon: An American Saga was screened recently during the Cannes Film Festival, the audience clapped for seven minutes. And that’s not even the longest clapping in the festival’s history. That prize goes to Pan’s Labyrinth’s 22-minute clapping in 2006. Humans probably started clapping early in our history, writes psychologist Alan Crawley in a 2023 review of research on the topic. Our ancestors may not have screened movies, but in the absence of spoken language, they may have realized they could use clapping to signal danger, or frighten enemies. Clapping’s simplicity and effectiveness make it a universal practice. While babies rarely clap before their first birthday children master it quickly, gaining its global popularity. Unlike complex gestures (e. g., finger-clicking) , clapping produces loud, effortless noise — Crawley calls it the “non-vocal signal with the highest sound volume.” Socially, it balances politeness and enthusiasm, avoiding the rudeness of screaming, which allows clapping to adapt to contexts ranging from polite theater audiences to lively sports crowds. It also can be an act that strengthens social ties. During some hard times, the practice of organized clapping was, on the surface, about showing appreciation for key workers. Clapping often spreads like a “social disease,” as observed in studies by Richard Mann in 2013. In academic settings, clapping typically begins with a few individuals, resulting in a chain reaction. Anyone in a crowd will know that a mere handful of clappers can sometimes cause a room of people to follow their behavior. But what about super-long clapping? Why not just leave it at a minute or two? Back in 2013, Mann told BBC News that the length of clapping did not connect with the quality of the performance. “You have this social pressure to start clapping, but once you’ve started there’s an equally strong social pressure not to stop, until someone starts that stopping.” Then the conclusion would be this: no one in the room wants to be seen — or in the social media age, filmed — as the first one to stop. 32. What does Alan Crawley suggest about the origin of human clapping? A. It was adopted to replace spoken language. B. It developed from ancestors’ survival strategies. C. It appeared as a form of entertainment during festivals. D. It was first used to signal appreciation for performances. 33. Why is clapping a popular gesture across cultures compared to finger-clicking? A. Clapping is louder and simpler to do. B. Clapping is taught to babies earlier in life. C. Clapping is more polite and more socially accepted. D. Clapping is used to show appreciation especially in hard times. 34. What did Richard Mann’s 2013 study find about clapping? A. People clap louder when they are in large audience. B. Clapping spreads like a chain reaction in a group setting. C. Clapping seems to have no connection with social pressure. D. The quality of performances determines the length of clapping. 35. Where does the passage likely come from? A. A film review magazine. B. An entertainment news website. C. A scientific journal on human behaviour. D. A history textbook on human development. 【答案】32. B 33. A 34. B 35. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文围绕人类鼓掌行为展开科学探讨，结合心理学研究与社会现象，揭示其起源、特点及背后的社交逻辑。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Our ancestors may not have screened movies, but in the absence of spoken language, they may have realized they could use clapping to signal danger, or frighten enemies. (我们的祖先可能没有看过电影，但在没有语言的情况下，他们可能已经意识到他们可以用鼓掌来发出危险的信号，或者吓唬敌人。)”可知，我们的祖先可能用鼓掌来发出危险信号或吓唬敌人，这表明鼓掌是从祖先的生存策略发展而来的。故选B项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Unlike complex gestures (e. g., finger-clicking) , clapping produces loud, effortless noise — Crawley calls it the “non-vocal signal with the highest sound volume.” (不像复杂的手势(如：（例如，手指敲击），鼓掌产生响亮的，毫不费力的噪音-克劳利称之为“最高音量的非声音信号”。)”可知，与复杂手势（如打响指）相比，鼓掌能产生响亮且不费力的噪音。故选A项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“In academic settings, clapping typically begins with a few individuals, resulting in a chain reaction. (在学术场合，鼓掌通常从少数人开始，导致连锁反应。)”可知，在集体环境中，鼓掌通常由几个人开始，然后引发连锁反应。故选B项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章主要讨论了人类鼓掌这一行为的起源、特点以及在社会中的表现等，是关于人类行为的科学探讨。由此可知，文章更可能来自关于人类行为的科学期刊。故选C项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Show Respect Whether you’re talking to your best friend or a stranger, respecting them shows that you’re kind and considerate.

Wherever she went,she was popular, with many kids following her and doing everything she did. However, her deskmate, Landy, was not in the cool kids’ group. Being the tallest kid in her class, she was ridiculed(嘲笑)by her classmates, who were always chanting(唱起……歌)“Landy, Landy, long as spaghetti(意大利面)”. Catherine didn’t really like it when the kids chanted “Landy, Landy, long as spaghetti”. But she never told them to stop ridiculing Landy either, and nor did she ever talk to her. She liked being popular. One weekend, Catherine went over to visit her grandfather. Her grandfather lives on a farm, where he keeps chickens. While helping to feed the chickens, Catherine saw a special one. It looked smaller than the other chickens! “What’s the matter with it” She asked her grandfather, with a confused look on her face. Her grandfather told her how chickens could behave. “They have a pecking(啄)order,” he explained, “If one chicken is different, the others will push it away and keep pecking it. Sometimes they peck it so much that it dies.” “Oh, what a poor little guy!” Catherine picked the frightened chicken up in her arms, whose heart was beating fast in the little body. Suddenly, she thought of Landy, the girl being “pecked” by her classmates. “I’m going to take it home and take good care of it,” she said with a determined look. Back in school, Catherine told the cool kids about the chicken. “It’s looking healthy,” she said proudly. “It’s bigger and its feathers are growing. Even the cat likes it. She carries it around, and...” Everyone was impressed by Catherine’s story of her lovely chicken, laughter spreading around the classroom. Then Catherine saw Landy alone in a corner. She felt a pang of guilt as she remembered the chicken on the farm, bullied by its peers just like Landy was bullied by her classmates. The chant “Landy, Landy, long as spaghetti” echoed in her mind, but this time it felt like a cruel reminder of her own silence and inaction. Determined to make a change, Catherine made up her mind to reach out to Landy. She walked over, ignoring the whispers and curious glances from the other kids. But Catherine walked toward Landy, no matter what they said. 67. 按照时间顺序排列句子： A. Feeling sorry for the chicken, Catherine decided to take it home and care for it, and she suddenly thought of Landy who was“ bullied” like the chicken. B. Back at school, Catherine told her classmates about the chicken she cared for; everyone was impressed, and laughter filled the classroom. C. At school, Catherine was the most popular kid, while her deskmate Landy was often mocked for being tall; Catherine disliked the mockery but did nothing to stop it or talk to Landy to stay popular. D. Seeing Landy alone in a corner, Catherine felt guilty, remembered the bullied chicken, and decided to change by walking towards Landy despite others’ glances. E. One weekend, Catherine found a small chicken on her grandfather’s farm, and her grandfather explained that chickens have a “pecking order” where different ones get pushed and pecked. ________ ________ ________ ________ ________ 68. 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段，使之构成一篇完整的短文 But Catherine walked toward Landy, no matter what they said. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】67. ①. C ②. E ③. A ④. B ⑤. D 68. But Catherine walked toward Landy, no matter what they said. When she reached Landy, she softly said, “Landy, I want to apologize. I should have stopped them from making fun of you before. You know the chicken I told you all about? It was being bullied on the farm, just like you are here. I realized that it’s not right to let others be hurt like this.” Landy looked up at her in surprise, her eyes wide with a mix of disbelief and hope. Catherine continued, “From now on, we can be friends. And I’ll make sure no one bullies you again.” A big smile slowly spread across Landy’s face. The other kids, seeing this, gradually stopped their whispers. Some of them even felt a bit ashamed. Maybe they, too, realized how unkind they had been. From that day on, Catherine and Landy became inseparable. And the “pecking order” in the class finally came to an end, replaced by a new sense of kindness and friendship. 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了受欢迎的Catherine起初对被嘲笑的同桌Landy沉默旁观，后因农场里受欺负的小鸡受到触动，最终决心主动关心Landy的故事。 【67题详解】 1. 根据原文第一段“Catherine was the coolest kid in her class. Wherever she went,she was popular, with many kids following her and doing everything she did.(Catherine是班里最酷的孩子。无论她走到哪里，都很受欢迎，很多同学都跟着她，模仿她做的每一件事。)”、第二段“However, her deskmate, Landy, was not in the cool kids’ group. Being the tallest kid in her class, she was ridiculed(嘲笑)by her classmates, who were always chanting(唱起……歌)“Landy, Landy, long as spaghetti(意大利面)”.(然而，她的同桌Landy却不在酷小孩圈子里。作为班里最高的学生，她常被同学们嘲笑——大家总唱着“Landy，Landy，长如意大利面”。)”以及第三段“Catherine didn’t really like it when the kids chanted “Landy, Landy, long as spaghetti”. But she never told them to stop ridiculing Landy either, and nor did she ever talk to her.(Catherine其实并不喜欢同学们这样唱，但她从未阻止过这种嘲笑，也从来没和Landy说过话。)”可知，Catherine很受欢迎，而同桌Landy总被嘲笑，Catherine虽不喜欢但为维持人气未干预。选项C“At school, Catherine was the most popular kid, while her deskmate Landy was often mocked for being tall; Catherine disliked the mockery but did nothing to stop it or talk to Landy to stay popular.(在学校，Catherine是最受欢迎的孩子，而她的同桌Landy经常因为个子高而被嘲笑；Catherine不喜欢这种嘲弄，但她没有采取任何措施阻止这种嘲弄，也没有和Landy交谈以保持受欢迎。)”表述与此相符，介绍了故事的背景。应排在最前面。故选C。 2. 根据原文第四段“One weekend, Catherine went over to visit her grandfather.(一个周末，Catherine去看望爷爷。)”以及第五段““What’s the matter with it” She asked her grandfather, with a confused look on her face. Her grandfather told her how chickens could behave. “They have a pecking(啄)order,” he explained, “If one chicken is different, the others will push it away and keep pecking it. Sometimes they peck it so much that it dies.”(“它怎么了？”她一脸困惑地问爷爷。爷爷给她讲了鸡的习性：“它们有啄食顺序”， 爷爷解释道，“如果有一只鸡和其他鸡不一样，别的鸡就会把它推开，不停地啄它。有时候啄得太厉害，那只鸡就会死掉。”)”可知，故事接着讲述了Catherine来到了爷爷的农场，并发现了特殊小鸡。选项E“One weekend, Catherine found a small chicken on her grandfather’s farm, and her grandfather explained that chickens have a “pecking order” where different ones get pushed and pecked.(一个周末，Catherine在她祖父的农场里发现了一只小鸡，她的祖父解释说，鸡有一个啄食顺序，不同的鸡会被推搡和啄食。)”符合原文中的故事发展顺序，所以排在第二位。故选E。 3. 根据原文第六段““Oh, what a poor little guy!” Catherine picked the frightened chicken up in her arms, whose heart was beating fast in the little body. Suddenly, she thought of Landy, the girl being “pecked” by her classmates. “I’m going to take it home and take good care of it,” she said with a determined look.(“哦，真是只可怜的小家伙！”Catherine把这只受惊的小鸡抱进怀里，能感觉到它小小的身体里心脏在快速跳动。突然，她想到了Landy—— 那个正被同学们啄咬的女孩。“我要把它带回家，好好照顾它。”她坚定地说。)”可知，Catherine了解情况后，突然想到了被欺负的Landy，于是她决定将小鸡带回家好好照顾。选项A“Feeling sorry for the chicken, Catherine decided to take it home and care for it, and she suddenly thought of Landy who was “ bullied” like the chicken.(Catherine为这只鸡感到难过，她决定把它带回家照顾它，她突然想起了和这只鸡一样被欺负的Landy。)”符合原文中的故事发展顺序。所以排在第三位。故选A。 4. 根据原文第七段“Back in school, Catherine told the cool kids about the chicken. “It’s looking healthy,” she said proudly. “It’s bigger and its feathers are growing. Even the cat likes it. She carries it around, and...” Everyone was impressed by Catherine’s story of her lovely chicken, laughter spreading around the classroom.(回到学校后，Catherine把小鸡的事告诉了那些酷小孩。“它现在健康多了，”她骄傲地说，“长得更大了，羽毛也长出来了。连我家的猫都喜欢它，总是把它叼在身边，还有……”大家都被Catherine和可爱小鸡的故事打动了，教室里充满了笑声。)”可知，回到学校的Catherine将小鸡的故事分享给同学们，并获得了同学们的好感。选项B“Back at school, Catherine told her classmates about the chicken she cared for; everyone was impressed, and laughter filled the classroom.(回到学校后，Catherine把她养的鸡告诉了同学们；每个人都被打动了，教室里充满了笑声。)”符合原文中故事的发展顺序。故选B。 5. 根据原文第八段“Then Catherine saw Landy alone in a corner. She felt a pang of guilt as she remembered the chicken on the farm, bullied by its peers just like Landy was bullied by her classmates.(这时，Catherine看到Landy独自坐在角落里。她想起了农场里那只被同伴欺负的小鸡，而Landy正遭受着同样的对待，心里一阵愧疚。)”和第九段“But Catherine walked toward Landy, no matter what they said.(无论别人怎么说，Catherine终究走向了Landy。)”可知，故事的最后，Catherine决定坚定地走向Landy。选项D“Seeing Landy alone in a corner, Catherine felt guilty, remembered the bullied chicken, and decided to change by walking towards Landy despite others’ glances.(看到Landy一个人在角落里，Catherine感到内疚，想起了被欺负的鸡，决定不顾别人的目光走向Landy。)”符合原文中故事的结尾。故选D。 【68题详解】 1.段落续写： 由本段首句内容“不管他们说什么，Catherine还是朝Landy走去。”可知，第一段可描写Catherine主动向Landy伸出友谊之手，并成为了好朋友，而其他孩子也不再欺负Landy。 2.续写线索：Catherine主动向Landy走去——她向Landy道歉，认为自己不应该放任别人对她的欺负——Landy非常惊讶，同时也心存疑虑——Catherine再次表示愿意和她做朋友—而Landy也露出了微笑——其他孩子看到这一切，也停止了窃窃私语——从此，俩人成为了好朋友 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①意识到：realize/be aware of ②阻止某人做某事：stop…from…/keep…from… ③继续：continue/ go on 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise/ amazement ② 怀疑：disbelief/ suspicion/ doubt 【点睛】【高分句型1】Maybe they, too, realized how unkind they had been.（运用了how引导的宾语从句） 【高分句型2】I realized that it’s not right to let others be hurt like this.（运用了that引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
