Reporters, photographers, correspondents, and editors are some of the people who create newspapers. They are known as journalists. Reporters are journalists who go out and get the news. They attend meetings.They cover events such as court cases, plays, and sporting events. They interview people to get their views about what is going on. Reporters must be able to write a story quickly so as to meet a deadline. People do not want to read old news. They want to know what is going on as soon as it happens. Reporters sometimes phone or email their notes and quotations (引用语) to the paper from the scene. A reporter in the office then writes the story. A “stringer” is a part-time reporter who works when called upon. A fire might break out in one part of town. An editor may ask a stringer who lives near the scene to cover the story. Reporters often work with photographers, or photojournalists. Photojournalists take the pictures that illustrate (图解) the stories in a newspaper. They have to edit their pictures in time for them to appear with the story. A correspondent is a journalist who covers the news in a particular place or on a subject that he or she has special knowledge in. Large newspaper groups have correspondents in foreign countries to report the news there. A paper may have a correspondent who covers just medical news. An editor is a journalist who works at a desk in a newspaper office. Editors prepare the reporters’ stories to be printed in the paper. They decide which story is most important and gets the front-page headline. They decide which pictures to use. Editors do not often write the news, but they do write editorials (社论) in which they state their views on a topic or an issue. People who work as journalists have some things in common. They are curious; they like to write, and they have a “nose for news”. They can spot news as it happens. They know what people want to read about. 21. The underlined word “They” in Paragraph2 refers to_______. A. readers B. journalists C. reporters D. stringers 22. A journalist working abroad to report news may be called________. A. a stringer B. a photojournalist C. an editor D. a correspondent 23. According to the passage, both the reporter and the editor________. A. usually work in the office B. decide which pictures to use C. have the ability to discover news D. often write editorials for their paper 24. The passage is mainly written to________. A. introduce different posts and duties of journalists B. describe the characters of journalists C. explain how the news is collected D. show how reporters work B After spending a year in Brazil on a student exchange program, her mother recalled (回忆), Marie Colvin returned home to find that her classmates had narrowed down their college choices. “Everyone else was already admitted to college,” her mother, Rosemarie Colvin, said from the family home. “So she took our car and drove up to Yale and said, ‘You have to let me in.’” “Impressed — she was a National Merit (全国英才) finalist who had picked up Portuguese in Brazil — Yale did, admitting her to the class of 1978, where she started writing for the Yale Daily News and decided to be a journalist,” her mother said. On Wednesday, Marie Colvin, 56, an experienced journalist for The Sunday Times of London, was killed as Syrian forces shelled (炮击) the city of Homs. She was working in a temporary media centre that was destroyed in the attack. “She was supposed to leave Syria on Wednesday,” Mrs Colvin said. “Her editor told me he called her yesterday and said it was getting too dangerous and they wanted to take her out. She said she was doing a story and she wanted to finish it.” Mrs Colvin said it was pointless to try to prevent her daughter from going to conflict zones. “If you knew my daughter,” she said, “it would have been such a waste of words. She was determined; she was enthusiastic about what she did. It was her life.There was no saying ‘Don’t do this.’ This is who she was, absolutely who she was and what she believed in: cover the story, not just have pictures of it, but bring it to life in the deepest way you could.” “So it was not a surprise when she took an interest in journalism,” her mother said. 25. From the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1, we can infer that ________. A. Yale was her last choice B. Marie Colvin was confident of herself C. Yale must keep its promise to Marie Colvin D. Marie Colvin was good at persuading 26. Which of the following is the correct order to describe Marie Colvin’s life? a.She was doing a story in Syria and got killed. b.She was admitted to Yale University. c.She studied in Brazil as an excellent student. d.She was hired by The Sunday Times of London. e.She began to take an interest in journalism. A. d→e→c→a→b B. b→c→d→e→a C. e→d→c→b→a D. c→b→e→d→a 27. From the last paragraph,we can know that Mrs Colvin _______. A. dislikes the choice of her daughter B. cares little about her daughter C. knows her daughter very well D. doesn’t fully appreciate her daughter C You probably know who Marie Curie was, but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson. Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years? Jane Addams (1860—1935) Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community (社区) by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize. Rachel Carson (1907—1964) If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans. Sandra Day O’Connor (1930—present) When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator (参议员) and, in 1981, the first woman to join the U. S. Supreme Court. O’Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court. Rosa Parks (1913—2005) On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott. It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil-rights movement. “The only tired I was, was tired of giving in, ” said Parks. 28. What is Jane Addams noted for in history? A. Her social work. B. Her teaching skills. C. Her efforts to win a prize. D. Her community background. 29. What was the reason for O’ Connor’s being rejected by the law firm? A. Her lack of proper training in law. B. Her little work experience in court. C. The discrimination against women. D. The poor financial conditions. 30. Who made a great contribution to the civil-rights movement in the U. S. ? A. Jane Addams. B. Rachel Carson. C. Sandra Day O’ Connor. D. Rosa Parks. 31. What can we infer about the women mentioned in the text? A. They are highly educated. B. They are truly creative. C. They are pioneers. D. They are peace-lovers. D Best Gifts to Children This Season Marble (弹珠游戏) Circuit With brightly coloured pieces and a seemingly simple layout, Marble Circuit doesn’t present as a tough logic game-but don’t underestimate (低估) its difficulty. After drawing a challenge card, players must arrange and fill in holes on the game board to allow the right number of marbles to run through the channels and into each box at the bottom of the board. Because it requires more patience and abstract, spatial thinking skills than some other kinds of logic puzzles, Marble Circuit is recommended for the over-8 crowd. (Mind Ware, $24.95) Botzees Kids can follow directions or use their imaginations to build a robot out of the 130 blocks, and then command it to dance, sing, drum and light up with the companion app on a smart device (设备) or tablet. Though the robot-building appealed to younger testers, kids aged 5 and up enjoyed the toy’s advanced features. (Pai Technology, $99.99) How to Code a Roller Coaster Just as coding can be used to tell stories, this is a story about coding. This picture book does a good job of introducing and explaining what code is, how computers understand it, and introducing common coding terms-variables, loops, if/then. The volume is part of the popular “Girls Who Code” series, but intended for the younger reader. (Penguin Random House, $17.99) Code Like a Girl Miriam Peskowitz features women in the computer science field in this how-to book. It shows how people are working to make tech a more inclusive place to code. Written with a cookbook-like feel, the book provides encouraging, step-by-step tips and tricks for learning the Python computer language, and more. (Penguin Random House, $21.99) 32. What can we know about the gifts? A Botzees enables its players to build a robot as they want. B. Marble Circuit is an easy logic game for those 7-year-olds. C.

They immediately went to work. Their goal was to have the old building look best for the Christmas Eve get-together. Just two days before Christmas, however, a storm swept through the area, leaving a hole in the wall of the house. There was obviously no time to repair the damage before Christmas. The sad couple attended local auction (拍卖) that afternoon. One of the items put up for bids (竞标) was an old gold-and-ivory-colored tablecloth. Seized by an inspiration, the young man was the highest bidder at $6.50. His idea was to hang the cloth to cover the ragged hole. On the day before Christmas, it was snowy. As the young man unlocked the house door, he noticed an old woman standing at the bus stop. He knew the bus wouldn’t be there within at least half an hour, so he invited her inside to keep warm. When the old woman walked in and saw the tablecloth, she rushed at it and said excitedly, “It’s mine. It is my tablecloth.” She told the surprised man its history and even showed him her name in one corner of the tablecloth. She and her husband had once lived in Vienna, Austria, and their village was hit by a deadly disease. So they decided to flee to Switzerland, but her husband told her to leave first, saying he had something urgent to deal with. A few days later, it was reported that the bus her husband took fell off the cliff and he was never to be found. Her husband was believed to have died. Touched by her story, the young man asked about her address, planning to send the tablecloth to her after Christmas. As the bus came, she left. When the Christmas Eve came the man invited his friends to come to his house to enjoy the dinner together. In the candlelight of the Christmas Eve, the tablecloth looked even more beautiful. As the man’s friends left the house, they thanked the man for his arrangement and mentioned how beautiful the house looked. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 One older gentleman stayed, admiring the tablecloth. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The young man drove the old man to that old woman’s home. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高二英语月考考试 （试卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟） 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将答题卡交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 How many students passed the final English exam in the woman’s class?

Food production. 20. What is Tasmania’s greatest attraction? A. Its interesting people. B. Its remote location. C. Its natural beauty. 【答案】17. A 18. A 19. B 20. C 【解析】 【详解】 I was born in Tasmania. It was named after its European discoverer AJ Tasmania. Tasmania is an island off the south coast of Australia. It’s the smallest state of Australia, about the size of the republic of Ireland and the weather there is much like the north coast of Spain, neither very cold nor very hot. It used to be a prison for the British empire. It was a good prison because it’s an island. The sea of Tasmania is full of sharks. Anyone who tried to escape got eaten by sharks, so there was no escape. But things have improved since the eighteenth century and Tasmania is now famous for better reasons. Really, it’s a very beautiful place with a wonderful natural environment. So tourism is a major industry, with farming and food production following closely behind. The scenery is very beautiful, which attracts a lot of people come here every year. It’s got rare animals and unique plants. It’s a large island with a population of over half a million. There are long beaches mostly empty. You can have a whole beach to yourself. 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。 A Newspapers are one method of bringing the news to the public. Reporters, photographers, correspondents, and editors are some of the people who create newspapers. They are known as journalists. Reporters are journalists who go out and get the news. They attend meetings.They cover events such as court cases, plays, and sporting events. They interview people to get their views about what is going on. Reporters must be able to write a story quickly so as to meet a deadline. People do not want to read old news. They want to know what is going on as soon as it happens. Reporters sometimes phone or email their notes and quotations (引用语) to the paper from the scene. A reporter in the office then writes the story. A “stringer” is a part-time reporter who works when called upon. A fire might break out in one part of town. An editor may ask a stringer who lives near the scene to cover the story. Reporters often work with photographers, or photojournalists. Photojournalists take the pictures that illustrate (图解) the stories in a newspaper. They have to edit their pictures in time for them to appear with the story. A correspondent is a journalist who covers the news in a particular place or on a subject that he or she has special knowledge in. Large newspaper groups have correspondents in foreign countries to report the news there. A paper may have a correspondent who covers just medical news. An editor is a journalist who works at a desk in a newspaper office. Editors prepare the reporters’ stories to be printed in the paper. They decide which story is most important and gets the front-page headline. They decide which pictures to use. Editors do not often write the news, but they do write editorials (社论) in which they state their views on a topic or an issue. People who work as journalists have some things in common. They are curious; they like to write, and they have a “nose for news”. They can spot news as it happens. They know what people want to read about. 21. The underlined word “They” in Paragraph2 refers to_______. A. readers B. journalists C. reporters D. stringers 22. A journalist working abroad to report news may be called________. A. a stringer B. a photojournalist C. an editor D. a correspondent 23. According to the passage, both the reporter and the editor________.

A. introduce different posts and duties of journalists B. describe the characters of journalists C. explain how the news is collected D. show how reporters work 【答案】21. A 22. D 23. C 24. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了记者不同职位及其职责。 【21题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段的“People do not want to read old news. They want to know what is going on as soon as it happens.(人们不想读旧新闻。他们想在事情一发生时就知道发生了什么。)”可知，不想读旧新闻，想尽快知道发生什么事的人，即读者。所以这里的They指的是不想读旧新闻，想尽快知道发生什么事的人，即读者。故选A。 22题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“A correspondent is a journalist who covers the news in a particular place or on a subject that he or she has special knowledge in. Large newspaper groups have correspondents in foreign countries to report the news there.(特派记者指在某一特定地点，或就他/她具有专业知识的某一主题进行新闻报道的记者。大型报业集团在国外有特派记者报道那里的新闻)”可知，在国外工作报道新闻的记者可能被称为特派记者。故选D。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Reporters must be able to write a story quickly so as to meet a deadline. People do not want to read old news. They want to know what is going on as soon as it happens. Reporters sometimes phone or email their notes and quotations (引用语) to the paper from the scene. A reporter in the office then writes the story.(记者必须能够快速写出一篇报道，以便赶上截止日期。人们不想读旧新闻。他们想知道发生了什么事。记者有时会从现场打电话或发电子邮件将他们的笔记和引用语发给报社。办公室里的记者然后写报道)”以及第六段“Editors prepare the reporters' stories to be printed in the paper. They decide which story is most important and gets the front-page headline. They decide which pictures to use. Editors do not often write the news, but they do write editorials (社论) in which they state their views on a topic or an issue.(编辑准备记者们的报道以便在报纸上刊登。他们决定哪篇报道最重要，并登上头版头条。他们决定使用哪些图片。编辑不常写新闻，但他们确实会写社论，在社论中他们陈述自己对某个话题或问题的看法)”和最后一段“People who work as journalists have some things in common. They are curious; they like to write, and they have a “nose for news”. They can spot news as it happens. They know what people want to read about.(从事新闻工作的人有一些共同之处。他们很好奇；他们喜欢写作，而且他们对新闻有“嗅觉”。他们能在新闻发生时发现它。他们知道人们想读什么)”可知，记者和编辑都有发现新闻的能力。故选C。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。 根据第一段“Newspapers are one method of bringing the news to the public. Reporters, photographers, correspondents, and editors are some of the people who create newspapers. They are known as journalists.(报纸是将新闻带给公众的一种方法。记者、摄影师、特派记者和编辑是创办报纸的一些人。他们被称为记者)”以及后文分别介绍了记者、特约记者、摄影记者和编辑的工作内容和职责可知，这篇文章主要是介绍记者的不同职位和职责。故选A。 B After spending a year in Brazil on a student exchange program, her mother recalled (回忆), Marie Colvin returned home to find that her classmates had narrowed down their college choices. “Everyone else was already admitted to college,” her mother, Rosemarie Colvin, said from the family home. “So she took our car and drove up to Yale and said, ‘You have to let me in.’” “Impressed — she was a National Merit (全国英才) finalist who had picked up Portuguese in Brazil — Yale did, admitting her to the class of 1978, where she started writing for the Yale Daily News and decided to be a journalist,” her mother said. On Wednesday, Marie Colvin, 56, an experienced journalist for The Sunday Times of London, was killed as Syrian forces shelled (炮击) the city of Homs. She was working in a temporary media centre that was destroyed in the attack. “She was supposed to leave Syria on Wednesday,” Mrs Colvin said. “Her editor told me he called her yesterday and said it was getting too dangerous and they wanted to take her out. She said she was doing a story and she wanted to finish it.” Mrs Colvin said it was pointless to try to prevent her daughter from going to conflict zones. “If you knew my daughter,” she said, “it would have been such a waste of words. She was determined; she was enthusiastic about what she did. It was her life.There was no saying ‘Don’t do this.’ This is who she was, absolutely who she was and what she believed in: cover the story, not just have pictures of it, but bring it to life in the deepest way you could.” “So it was not a surprise when she took an interest in journalism,” her mother said. 25. From the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1, we can infer that ________. A. Yale was her last choice B. Marie Colvin was confident of herself C. Yale must keep its promise to Marie Colvin D. Marie Colvin was good at persuading 26. Which of the following is the correct order to describe Marie Colvin’s life? a.She was doing a story in Syria and got killed. b.She was admitted to Yale University. c.She studied in Brazil as an excellent student. d.She was hired by The Sunday Times of London. e.She began to take an interest in journalism. A. d→e→c→a→b B. b→c→d→e→a C. e→d→c→b→a D. c→b→e→d→a 27. From the last paragraph,we can know that Mrs Colvin _______. A. dislikes the choice of her daughter B. cares little about her daughter C. knows her daughter very well D. doesn’t fully appreciate her daughter 【答案】25. B 26. D 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了资深记者Marie Colvin的求学、从业经历及遇难事件。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Marie Colvin returned home to find that her classmates had narrowed down their college choices. “Everyone else was already admitted to college,” her mother, Rosemarie Colvin, said from the family home. “So she took our car and drove up to Yale and said, ‘You have to let me in.’”(Marie Colvin回到家后，发现同学们都已经缩小了大学选择范围。“其他人都已经被大学录取了，”她的母亲Rosemarie Colvin在家中回忆道，“于是她开走了我们的车，直奔耶鲁大学，说：‘你们必须录取我。’”)”及第二段““Impressed — she was a National Merit (全国英才) finalist who had picked up Portuguese in Brazil — Yale did, admitting her to the class of 1978, where she started writing for the Yale Daily News and decided to be a journalist,” her mother said.(她的母亲回忆道：“耶鲁大学被她打动了——她不仅是全国英才奖学金决赛入围者，还在巴西学会了葡萄牙语——耶鲁大学录取了她，让她进入1978级就读。在耶鲁，她开始为《耶鲁每日新闻》撰稿，并决心成为一名记者。”)”可知，Marie Colvin直接开车前往耶鲁大学并坚决要求被录取。结合她凭借全国英才决赛选手身份和葡萄牙语能力被录取的细节，可推断她对自己充满信心。故选B。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“After spending a year in Brazil on a student exchange program(在巴西参加了一年的交换生项目后)”，第二段中“Yale did, admitting her to the class of 1978, where she started writing for the Yale Daily News and decided to be a journalist(耶鲁大学录取了她，让她进入1978级就读。在耶鲁，她开始为《耶鲁每日新闻》撰稿，并决心成为一名记者)”及第三段中“On Wednesday, Marie Colvin, 56, an experienced journalist for The Sunday Times of London, was killed as Syrian forces shelled (炮击) the city of Homs. She was working in a temporary media centre that was destroyed in the attack.(周三，56岁的伦敦《星期日泰晤士报》资深记者Marie Colvin在叙利亚军队炮击霍姆斯市时遇难。她当时正在一个在袭击中被摧毁的临时媒体中心工作)”可知，按时间顺序梳理： 首先，Marie在巴西交换学习（c）；之后，她被耶鲁大学录取（b）；在耶鲁期间，开始为校报写作并决定成为记者（e）；毕业后，成为伦敦《星期日泰晤士报》的记者（d）；最后，在叙利亚采访时遇难（a）。因此，描述Marie Colvin一生的正确顺序是c→b→e→d→a。故选D。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Mrs Colvin said it was pointless to try to prevent her daughter from going to conflict zones. “If you knew my daughter,” she said, “it would have been such a waste of words. She was determined; she was enthusiastic about what she did. It was her life.There was no saying ‘Don’t do this.’ This is who she was, absolutely who she was and what she believed in: cover the story, not just have pictures of it, but bring it to life in the deepest way you could.” “So it was not a surprise when she took an interest in journalism,” her mother said.(Mrs Colvin表示，试图阻止女儿前往冲突地区是徒劳的。“要是你们了解我女儿，” 她说，“就知道说这些都是白费口舌。她性格坚定，对自己所做的事充满热忱——这就是她的人生。没人能让她‘别这么做’。这就是她本来的样子，完完全全就是这样：她所信奉的是报道事件本身，不只是拍下表面画面，而是用最深刻的方式让事件鲜活地呈现在世人面前。”“所以她会对新闻事业产生兴趣，一点也不令人意外，” 她的母亲说道。)”可知，Mrs Colvin明确知道女儿性格坚定、对新闻工作充满热情，阻止她前往冲突地区是徒劳的。这体现她对女儿非常了解。故选C。 C You probably know who Marie Curie was, but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson. Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years? Jane Addams (1860—1935) Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community (社区) by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize. Rachel Carson (1907—1964) If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans. Sandra Day O’Connor (1930—present) When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator (参议员) and, in 1981, the first woman to join the U. S. Supreme Court. O’Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court. Rosa Parks (1913—2005) On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott. It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil-rights movement. “The only tired I was, was tired of giving in, ” said Parks. 28. What is Jane Addams noted for in history? A. Her social work. B. Her teaching skills. C. Her efforts to win a prize. D. Her community background. 29.

What can we infer about the women mentioned in the text? A. They are highly educated. B. They are truly creative. C. They are pioneers. D. They are peace-lovers. 【答案】28. A 29. C 30. D 31. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章介绍了在过去100年中四位杰出的女性，包括她们的生平事迹和对社会的贡献。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community (社区) by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize(任何接受过社会工作者帮助的人都应该感谢简·亚当斯。亚当斯帮助穷人，为和平而努力。她通过建立庇护所和促进为有需要的人提供教育和服务来鼓励社区意识。1931年，亚当斯成为第一位获得诺贝尔和平奖的美国女性)”可知，简·亚当斯在历史上以她的社会工作而闻名。故选A项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Sandra Day O’Connor (1930—present)”部分“When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman(1952年，桑德拉·戴·奥康纳在斯坦福大学法学院以全班第三名的成绩毕业时，她找不到律师事务所的工作，因为她是女性)”可知，奥康纳被律师事务所拒绝的原因是对妇女的歧视。故选C项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott. It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil-rights movement(1955年12月1日，在阿拉巴马州蒙哥马利，罗莎·帕克斯拒绝在公交车上给一名白人乘客让座。她的这一简单举动使帕克斯入狱。但这也引发了蒙哥马利巴士抵制运动。它持续了一年多，并引发了民权运动)”可知，罗莎·帕克斯为美国的民权运动做出了巨大贡献。故选D项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。文章介绍了四位杰出女性，根据“Jane Addams”部分“In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize(1931年，亚当斯成为首位获得诺贝尔和平奖的美国女性)”可知简·亚当斯是第一位获得诺贝尔和平奖的美国女性；根据“Rachel Carson”部分“Her popular1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans(她于1962年出版的畅销书《寂静的春天》唤起了公众对污染危害的认识，并揭示了化学物质对人类以及世界湖泊海洋的危害影响)”可知雷切尔·卡森的作品《寂静的春天》提高了人们对污染的危险性和化学物质对人类和世界湖泊和海洋的危害性的认识；根据“Sandra Day O’Connor”部分“She became an Arizona state senator(参议员)and, in 1981, the first woman to join the U. S. Supreme Court. (她先是担任亚利桑那州参议员，并于1981年成为首位进入美国最高法院的女性大法官)”可知，桑德拉·戴·奥康纳成为首位美国联邦最高法院女法官；根据“Rosa Parks”部分“On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott. It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil-rights movement. ( 1955年12月1日，在阿拉巴马州的蒙哥马利市，罗莎·帕克斯拒绝将公交车座位让给一名白人乘客。这一简单的举动使她入狱，但也由此引发了蒙哥马利公交抵制运动。这场运动持续了一年多，并由此掀起了民权运动的序幕)”可知，罗莎·帕克斯在公交车上拒绝为白人让座，拉开了民权运动的序幕。这四位女性都是各自领域的先驱，所以可以推断出她们是先驱。故选C项。 D Best Gifts to Children This Season Marble (弹珠游戏) Circuit With brightly coloured pieces and a seemingly simple layout, Marble Circuit doesn’t present as a tough logic game-but don’t underestimate (低估) its difficulty. After drawing a challenge card, players must arrange and fill in holes on the game board to allow the right number of marbles to run through the channels and into each box at the bottom of the board. Because it requires more patience and abstract, spatial thinking skills than some other kinds of logic puzzles, Marble Circuit is recommended for the over-8 crowd. (Mind Ware, $24.95) Botzees Kids can follow directions or use their imaginations to build a robot out of the 130 blocks, and then command it to dance, sing, drum and light up with the companion app on a smart device (设备) or tablet.

But they had stories. People learned the stories by heart and taught new ones to one another. Sometimes it was hard to remember them all. ____36____ The ancient Egyptians wrote their stories on something made from papyrus (纸莎草) plants. People in other places learned to use papyrus from the Egyptians. ____37____ So parchment (羊皮纸), made from goatskin, later took its place. In ancient China books looked a little different. At that time, people there used ink to write on bamboo or silk. And then they invented paper. Made of trees, paper was easier and cheaper to make than papyrus or parchment. ____38____ Paper-making later spread to the West, but there was a big problem with these early books. Every single one had to be copied and written by hand. ____39____ They carved (雕刻) a page of words into a piece of wood or stone. They could then print the page by spreading ink on the wood or stone and putting it against paper. But it wasn’t until a German printer invented movable, metal letters that books became fast and easy to make. The letters could be used to print copy after copy, and the letters put together again and again to print different pages of words. ____40____ Once a luxury only the rich could buy, they soon became a treasure everyone could enjoy. A. But papyrus grew mainly in Egypt. B. It took years to finish making just one book. C. Finally books could be printed by the thousands. D. Things grew a little easier when writing was invented. E. Its surface was smoother and better for writing on too. F. Books in the West didn’t change for a long time after that. G. The Chinese were the first to think of a way to speed things up a little. 【答案】36. D 37. A 38. E 39. G 40. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章按时间顺序介绍了书籍载体的演变历史，从口耳相传到文字记录，再到埃及纸莎草纸、中国竹简、丝绸与纸、以及欧洲羊皮纸的相继使用，最后重点讲述了中国雕版印刷术的发明如何使书籍得以大规模、快速地生产，从而普及开来。 【36题详解】 上文“Long, long ago people couldn’t write and they had no books. But they had stories. People learned the stories by heart and taught new ones to one another. Sometimes it was hard to remember them all. (很久很久以前，人们不会写字，也没有书。但他们有故事。人们用心记住故事并互相教授新的。有时很难记住所有的故事)”描述了文字发明前，人们依靠记忆和口述传承故事的困难。D选项“Things grew a little easier when writing was invented. (当文字被发明时，情况变得稍微容易了一些)”承接上文，明确指出“文字的发明”是解决上述困难的关键转折点。下文开始讲述古埃及人在“纸莎草”上书写故事，正是对“writing was invented”之后情况的具体展开。D选项起到了从“史前”过渡到“有文字记录历史”的作用。故选D项。 【37题详解】 上文“People in other places learned to use papyrus from the Egyptians. (其他地方的人们向埃及人学会了使用纸莎草纸)”指出纸莎草纸的使用传播到了埃及以外的地区。A选项“But papyrus grew mainly in Egypt. (但是纸莎草主要生长在埃及)”与上文构成转折关系，指出了纸莎草纸推广面临的一个根本性限制：其原材料(纸莎草)的地域局限性。下文“So parchment (羊皮纸), made from goatskin, later took its place. (所以，用山羊皮制成的羊皮纸后来取代了它)”则顺理成章地说明了由于纸莎草原材料短缺(主要在埃及)，人们找到了替代品——羊皮纸。A选项解释了为何需要寻找“parchment”这一替代品，是逻辑链条中的关键一环。故选A项。 【38题详解】 上文“Made of trees, paper was easier and cheaper to make than papyrus or parchment. (由树木制成，纸比纸莎草纸或羊皮纸更容易且更便宜制造)”介绍了纸相对于前两种材料的优点(易得、便宜)。E选项“Its surface was smoother and better for writing on too. (它的表面也更光滑，更适合书写)”通过“too (也)”这个递进词，进一步补充了纸的另一个优点——书写体验更好。这里的“Its surface”指代的就是上文提到的“paper (纸)”的表面。该选项使对纸的优点描述更加全面。下文“Paper-making later spread to the West, but there was a big problem with these early books. (造纸术后来传播到西方，但这些早期书籍有一个大问题)”则转向讨论纸普及后书籍制作的另一个瓶颈，E选项的补充与下文形成顺畅的语义衔接。故选E项。 【39题详解】 下文“They carved (雕刻) a page of words into a piece of wood or stone. They could then print the page by spreading ink on the wood or stone and putting it against paper. (他们将一页文字雕刻在一块木头或石头上。然后他们可以通过在木头或石头上涂上墨水并将其压在纸上来印刷这一页)”详细描述了一种早期的印刷技术(雕版印刷)。G选项“The Chinese were the first to think of a way to speed things up a little. (中国人最先想到一个方法来稍微加快速度)”位于段首，作为总起句，点明本段要介绍的是中国人发明的、旨在加速书籍生产的方法。下文的雕版印刷正是对“a way to speed things up”的具体说明。上下文形成“总括-详解”的关系，且G选项中的“The Chinese”与下文的“They”形成指代关系。故选G项。 【40题详解】 上文“But it wasn’t until a German printer invented movable, metal letters that books became fast and easy to make.

They immediately went to work. Their goal was to have the old building look best for the Christmas Eve get-together. Just two days before Christmas, however, a storm swept through the area, leaving a hole in the wall of the house. There was obviously no time to repair the damage before Christmas. The sad couple attended local auction (拍卖) that afternoon. One of the items put up for bids (竞标) was an old gold-and-ivory-colored tablecloth. Seized by an inspiration, the young man was the highest bidder at $6.50. His idea was to hang the cloth to cover the ragged hole. On the day before Christmas it was snowy. As the young man unlocked the house door, he noticed an old woman standing at the bus stop. He knew the bus wouldn’t be there within at least half an hour, so he invited her inside to keep warm. When the old woman walked in and saw the tablecloth, she rushed at it and said excitedly, “It’s mine. It is my tablecloth.” She told the surprised man its history and even showed him her name in one corner of the tablecloth. She and her husband had once lived in Vienna, Austria, and their village was hit by a deadly disease. So they decided to flee to Switzerland, but her husband told her to leave first, saying he had something urgent to deal with. A few days later, it was reported that the bus her husband took fell off the cliff and he was never to be found. Her husband was believed to have died. Touched by her story, the young man asked about her address, planning to send the tablecloth to her after Christmas. As the bus came, she left. When the Christmas Eve came, the man invited his friends to come to his house to enjoy the dinner together. In the candlelight of the Christmas Eve, the tablecloth looked even more beautiful. As the man’s friends left the house, they thanked the man for his arrangement and mentioned how beautiful the house looked. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 One older gentleman stayed, admiring the tablecloth. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The young man drove the old man to that old woman’s home. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 One older gentleman stayed, admiring the tablecloth. At the same time, he said to the young man, “What a coincidence, many years ago my wife and I also owned such a tablecloth. But we lived in Vienna then.” On hearing these words, the young man told the old man about his encounter with the old woman in the house that snowy day. “Can it be true that she is alive?” asked the old man, tears streaming down his cheeks. “How can I find her?” Fortunately, the young man remembered her address. The young man drove the old man to that old woman’s home. Together they knocked on her apartment door. When she opened it, both of them recognized each other immediately. Obviously, they were too surprised and excited to express themselves. With trembling hands, they hugged tightly. “I was told you had died. How did you find me?” the old woman said. “Thanks to that magical tablecloth,” the old man replied. The young man witnessed the tearful, joyful and thrilling reunion of the husband and wife. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述了一个年轻人买了一栋年久失修的老房子，他和妻子打算在圣诞节前将其修复。然而，圣诞节前两天的一场暴风雨使得房子的墙上留下了一个洞。年轻人在拍卖会上拍下了一张桌布来遮住墙上的洞，想要挂起来盖住那个破洞，他回家时在车站遇到一个在车站等车的老妇人，她认出桌布是自家所有，并讲述和丈夫分离的故事，年轻人留下了她的地址，平安夜聚会很成功，朋友们都说房子看起来很漂亮。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“一位老先生留了下来，欣赏着桌布。”可知，第一段可描写老先生回忆起一样的桌布，年轻人意识到他和老妇人是夫妻，老先生听到后很激动。 ②由第二段首句内容“这个年轻人开车把老人送到那个老妇人的家。”可知，第二段可描写这对老夫妇重逢，年轻人见证了他们的喜悦。 2.续写线索：老先生讲述自己的故事——年轻人告诉老先生关于老妇人的故事——年轻人开车带老先生去老妇人家——这对老夫妇终于重逢——激动人心的团聚 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①拥有：own/possess ②流下来：stream down/roll down ③认出：recognize/identify 情绪类 ①惊讶的：surprised/astonished/amazed ②激动的：excited/thrilled 【点睛】【高分句型1】“Can it be true that she is alive?” asked the old man, tears streaming down his cheeks.
