Apart from offering unforgettable views of the architecture, the city's transportations are convenient, efficient, and also relatively inexpensive. PASSES Instead of paying EUR 7 per ride, a better option is to purchase one of ACTV's passes, which offer unlimited travel for 1 day (EUR 20), 2 days (EUR 30), 3 days (EUR 40) or 1 week (EUR 60). For children and young people between the ages of 6 and 29, ACTV offers a special "Rolling Venice" 3-day pass (EUR 29). BY GONDOLA Considered by many as the most symbolic feature of Venice, today gondolas circulate most often on canals in the centre of the city, carrying tourists on rides at fixed rates, which tend to be rather high. A 40-minute ride costs around EUR 100, but may be shared by as many as six passengers. BY RENTAL BOAT It is possible to rent a boat to travel around Venice's canals. A boating permit is not required, but you will need to pass a basic turning and docking test before being allowed to rent a boat. Rates start at EUR 30 per hour. BY WATER TAXI Getting around by water taxi in Venice is most costly, but can be a convenient option when you are in a hurry or need to carry a lot of luggage. The initial charge is EUR 15, then EUR 2 per minute. If you have more than one bag per passenger, there is a charge of EUR 3 for each additional piece. Note: There are only four fueling stations for boats in Venice. Make sure you note their locations before heading out. 21. What is said about the ACTV's pass? A. It provides the tourists with five choices. B. It is only suitable for kids and the young. C. It should be ordered ahead of time online. D. It is a certificate given to the foreign tourists. 22. Why does the author recommend gondola? A. Because it is the most economical means. B. Because tourists can enjoy the city for longer. C. Because tourists will be clear about the cost. D. Because it represents the city of Venice. 23. Which of the following may cost you most? A. PASSES. B. BY GONDOLA. C. BY WATER TAXI. D. BY RENTAL BOAT. B Rowan Atkinson is an English actor, comedian and screenwriter. In Britain, Mr Atkinson is mostly famous for many successful TV shows but internationally we know him best as the awkward, clumsy, but always amusing Mr Bean. If you think that Rowan Atkinson is anything like his famous creation, then you are in for a surprise. On the contrary, he is nothing like Mr Bean. Rowan was born on 6 January, 1955. He grew up on a farm with his parents and three older brothers. His father was very strict and did not believe in the value 10 of television. Rowan had a very successful academic career. At the age of 13, he was awarded a scholarship to a boarding school. Later, he studied at Newcastle University, where he attained the highest marks in his year. At Oxford, he obtained his master’s degree in electrical engineering. This may explain why he loves fast cars, of which he has many. When Rowan was young, he had a stutter and to make his speech clearer, he began to speak very carefully. This may be why some of his characters have unusual ways of speaking. As early as primary school, Rowan had already shown a talent for acting, but it was only later at university that he decided to become an actor. A key event occurred one day in 1976 when he was playing around and pulling a face in the mirror. “I discovered my face,” he said later. John Lloyd, who worked as a producer for BBC Television, says that one rarely meets someone with such genius, and that when he worked with Atkinson he became convinced that Rowan would be more famous than Charlie Chaplin. 24. From the first paragraph we know________. A. Mr. Atkinson is completely different from Mr. Bean B. Mr. Atkinson is famous to the British as a comedian C. Mr. Atkinson is very much like Mr. Bean D. Mr. Atkinson is really Mr. Bean 25. The reason why Mr. Atkinson loves fast cars is that ________. A. he was awarded a scholarship B. he has many fast cars C. he is good at electrical engineering D. he attained the highest marks 26. What does the sentence “I discovered my face” mean? A. he found he is handsome. B. he saw his face in the mirror. C. he realized he had genius as an actor. D. he didn’t know who he was. 27. Which of the following may be the best title of the passage? A. Rowan Atkinson B. The Contemporary Chaplin C. A famous Comedian D. A Talented Actor C Older people worry about how to make young ones, who love their devices, interested in old books. Like the Monkey King from Journey to the West, he was a favorite hero before the Internet came along. Havoc in Heaven《大闹天宫》 a new Peking Opera film, attracted the wider public to the charm of the traditional Chinese performance art, featuring one of the best-known chapters from Journey to the West. This film, expected to create a new channel to promote Peking Opera, includes nearly all the key ingredients of Peking Opera. It covers all the basic techniques, more than 10 classic tunes, and make-up for dozens of facial representations of different figures’ characteristics. It’s actually a big challenge to combine Peking Opera and film, each of which has its own rhythm, according to Cheng Lu, director of the film, who is adopting a fresh approach to present the traditional art form. One challenge that Cheng and his production team faced is how to balance the new approach with maintaining the fundamentals of the art. The basic principles and performance skills in Peking Opera cannot be changed. Some background images on stage, such as a painted waterfall, remain, and a live band was on the set to provide sound for the film, rather than employing the prerecorded music. “If we change traditions to cater to people’s taste and preference for a regular film, it will no longer be a Peking Opera piece of art,” Cheng said. On the other hand, some creativity was needed because Cheng and his team did not just want to document a stage performance. Computer technology is also applied to achieve some visual effects and to present impossible scenes. Peking Opera films played a powerful role in the 1960s and 70s, but they gave way to more diverse entertainment. In recent years, there has been a recovery in the popularity of Peking Opera films. However, the overuse of special effects in many film adaptations of Peking Opera plays has weakened the original charm of the stage performances. The imagination (enabled by the stage) can never be sacrificed for a film’s expression. 28. What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To blame young people addicted to electronic devices. B. To express older people’s concern about the young generation. C. To arouse readers’ interest in traditional Chinese performance art. D. To introduce a new Peking Opera film that the article is to deal with. 29 What did Director Cheng do while producing the film? A. He made changes to basic performance skills. B. He made use of symbols and motions equally. C. He insisted on a band playing music on the scene. D. He brought onto the stage exact details of real life. 30. What innovation did Cheng’s team make? A. They opposed a rigid recording of the performance. B. They enriched visual effects with modern technology. C. They allowed actors to repeat actions before the camera. D. They adopted real explosion scenes during the shooting. 31. What can we conclude from the last paragraph? A. Imagination is a unique charm of Peking Opera films. B. Technology makes up for the loss of stage imagination. C. There is some possibility for a film to replace Peking Opera. D. The traditional appeal of Peking Opera should not be given up for movies. D A form of gene therapy that is already being trialled in patients with Parkinson’s disease might provide a treatment for severe alcohol addiction. Alcohol misuse is the biggest risk factor for death, disability and ill health among people aged 15 to 49 in the UK, responsible for 9,641 deaths during 2021. Like other addictive substances, alcohol triggers the release of a feelgood chemical in the brain called dopamine. However, long-term drinking decreases dopamine release, and people who are addicted to alcohol don’t tend to feel pleasure in drinking it any more. “It seems that they’re drinking more because they feel a need to maintain a drunk state,” said Prof Kathleen Grant at Oregon Health and Science University. The idea of the gene therapy was to try to reset this dopamine reward pathway by enhancing the function of brain cells that synthesize dopamine. Like humans, some macaque monkeys are more likely to drink heavily than others: if you begin to offer them the choice of 5% alcohol alongside their regular food and water, some monkeys will eventually almost always choose the alcohol. Grant and her colleagues wondered whether resetting their dopamine reward pathways might contain their desire to drink alcohol. To do this, they used a harmless virus to deliver the gene for a protein called glial-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) to an area of the brain that is involved in addiction and reward. “We targeted the cell bodies that produce dopamine with this gene to increase dopamine synthesis, thus supplementing or restoring what long-term drinking has taken away,” Grant said. The research, which was published in Nature Medicine, found that the macaques permanently started overexpressing dopamine and decreased their alcohol consumption by up to 90%. “We are entering an era of gene therapy for neurological disorders and perhaps mental disorders, and I think this study is very promising in that direction.” Grant said. She added that animal studies are needed before the technique could be tested on humans. Also, because the gene therapy procedure involves brain surgery, it would probably only ever be used in the most severe cases of alcohol addiction. 32. Why do severe alcohol addicts drink more? A. Because they long for desired pleasure. B. Because they have a form of gene defect. C. Because they want to escape from reality. D. Because they suffer from deadly disability. 33. The underlined word “synthesize” in paragraph 3 can best be replaced by ________. A. Stimulate. B. Produce. C. Charge. D. Delay. 34. What did Grant’s study focus on? A. The life habit of macaque monkeys. B The way to control alcohol addiction. C. The working mechanism of dopamine. D. The function of the protein called GDNF. 35. What did Grant suggest about the gene therapy? A. Employ it to treat severe alcohol addiction only. B. Replace it with more efficient methods if necessary. C. Confirm its effectiveness with more tests on humans. D. Put it into widespread use on other common species. 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Why Not Build A DIY Ebike?

The bell’s ringing brought her out of her daydreaming. She nervously gathered her books, preparing to reach another classroom for the next new class. Lily followed the other kids and rushed into the hallway. Others walked in groups chatted, and laughed, using the break to socialize. Lily, instead, walked alone along the wall of the hallway, with her head down. She was a shy girl, afraid to speak in front of other kids, and didn’t think others would like her. Lily finally sat in Mr. Johnson’s Language Arts class nervously. “Welcome to Language Arts,” said Mr. Johnson. He told jokes as he talked about English. Lily forgot to daydream and laughed along with the rest of the class. “We’ll have some fun with language,” he said. “Just wait and see.” Fun was far beyond what Lily desired. She just wanted to be like other kids—running with friends in the hallway, laughing and joking between classes. Reminded of her pimply (长粉刺的) face, she felt hopeless and disappointed. “Take out a piece of paper,” the teacher continued, when pointing at words on the blackboard. “Write for the next thirty minutes on this topic.” Lily began writing crazily as idea after idea fought for recognition in her head. The final result was a short story about a beautiful beach house. As she wrote, she could smell the salty air, hear the crashing waves and feel the pull of the sand beneath her feet. For just a moment, she forgot where she was. She was lost in the story. “OK, pass your papers forward,” said the teacher. “Let’s see what we have.” For the rest of the class time, the teacher read each individual work aloud. Lily originally thought it would be awkward. However, she was gradually attracted by the excitement in the teacher’s voice. “He’s actually enjoying this,” she thought. When the class would be soon over, there were still fifteen students’ papers not read, including Lily’s paper. Then, Mr. Johnson announced his decision, asking these students to read their work themselves in front of the class next class. 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。 Paragraph 1: A week later, the bell rang and the Language Arts class began again. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: After Lily finished her reading, the clapping from her classmates continued for a long time. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 淮滨县新时代学校2025-2026学年度高二上学期期中测试英语试卷 本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分 满分150分，考试用时120分钟。 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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 Where does the conversation take place?

A 【解析】 【原文】M: As a young child, I always enjoyed physical challenges more than mental ones. I liked to run and build swings. At that stage, I hadn’t yet learned to climb or swim, but I would have loved to try those two. One day, we had a physical education class at school. We did the long jump and handstands, but it was when I tried to do a forward roll, the disaster struck. Somehow, I twisted my neck in an extremely painful way. I screamed loudly, and the teachers were very concerned. An ambulance was called, and I was taken to a hospital. The doctors fitted me with a collar, and I was told to avoid exercise and stay away from school for eight weeks. At first, I was very bored. Having to keep still all day was no fun. So I started to read. I looked at books on the shelf at home. I wasn’t interested in love stories. I avoided those, but crime and adventure did appeal to me. During those eight weeks, I developed a lifelong love of reading. When my collar was removed, the doctors told me not to exercise for another four weeks. Instead of being disappointed, I was happy to devote more time to my new love — reading. 笔试部分(120分) 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。 A Getting around Venice by travelling along its water ways is a delight for all visitors. Apart from offering unforgettable views of the architecture, the city's transportations are convenient, efficient, and also relatively inexpensive. PASSES Instead of paying EUR 7 per ride, a better option is to purchase one of ACTV's passes, which offer unlimited travel for 1 day (EUR 20), 2 days (EUR 30), 3 days (EUR 40) or 1 week (EUR 60). For children and young people between the ages of 6 and 29, ACTV offers a special "Rolling Venice" 3-day pass (EUR 29). BY GONDOLA Considered by many as the most symbolic feature of Venice, today gondolas circulate most often on canals in the centre of the city, carrying tourists on rides at fixed rates, which tend to be rather high. A 40-minute ride costs around EUR 100, but may be shared by as many as six passengers. BY RENTAL BOAT It is possible to rent a boat to travel around Venice's canals. A boating permit is not required, but you will need to pass a basic turning and docking test before being allowed to rent a boat. Rates start at EUR 30 per hour. BY WATER TAXI Getting around by water taxi in Venice is most costly, but can be a convenient option when you are in a hurry or need to carry a lot of luggage. The initial charge is EUR 15, then EUR 2 per minute. If you have more than one bag per passenger, there is a charge of EUR 3 for each additional piece. Note: There are only four fueling stations for boats in Venice. Make sure you note their locations before heading out. 21. What is said about the ACTV's pass? A. It provides the tourists with five choices. B. It is only suitable for kids and the young. C. It should be ordered ahead of time online. D. It is a certificate given to the foreign tourists. 22. Why does the author recommend gondola? A. Because it is the most economical means. B. Because tourists can enjoy the city for longer. C. Because tourists will be clear about the cost. D. Because it represents the city of Venice. 23. Which of the following may cost you most? A. PASSES. B. BY GONDOLA. C. BY WATER TAXI. D. BY RENTAL BOAT. 【答案】21. A 22. D 23. C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了在威尼斯旅行可以采用的交通方式及其收费标准。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据PASSES部分“a better option is to purchase one of ACTV’s passes, which offer unlimited travel for 1 day (EUR 20), 2 days (EUR 30), 3 days (EUR 40) or 1 week (EUR 60). For children and young people between the ages of 6 and 29, ACTV offers a special “Rolling Venice” 3-day pass (EUR 29).”（更好的选择是购买一张ACTV的通行证，该通行证提供1天（20欧元）、2天（30欧元）、3天（40欧元）或1周（60欧元）的无限制旅行。对于6至29岁的儿童和年轻人，ACTV提供特别的“滚动威尼斯”3天通行证（29欧元）。）可知，ACTV的通行证为游客提供了1天（20欧元）、2天（30欧元）、3天（40欧元）、1周（60欧元）或者“滚动威尼斯”3天通行证（29欧元）五种选择。故选A项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据BY GONDOLA部分“Considered by many as the most symbolic feature of Venice, today gondolas circulate most often on canals in the centre of the city”（许多人认为，贡都拉是威尼斯最具象征意义的特征，如今，贡都拉最常在市中心的运河上往来）可知，作者推荐贡都拉是因为它代表着威尼斯这座城市。故选D项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据PASSES部分“a better option is to purchase one of ACTV’s passes, which offer unlimited travel for 1 day (EUR 20), 2 days (EUR 30), 3 days (EUR 40) or 1 week (EUR 60).”（更好的选择是购买一张ACTV的通行证，该通行证提供1天（20欧元）、2天（30欧元）、3天（40欧元）或1周（60欧元）的无限制旅行。），BY GONDOLA部分“A 40-minute ride costs around EUR 100, but may be shared by as many as six passengers.”（40分钟的车程费用约为100欧元，但最多可由6名乘客分担。），BY RENTAL BOAT部分“Rates start at EUR 30 per hour.”（收费标准为每小时30欧元。），以及BY WATER TAXI部分“The initial charge is EUR 15, then EUR 2 per minute. If you have more than one bag per passenger, there is a charge of EUR 3 for each additional piece.”（最初的收费是15欧元，然后是每分钟2欧元。如果每位乘客都有一个以上的行李，每增加一件行李将收取3欧元的费用。）可知，乘坐水上出租车需要付费15欧元，并每分钟再付2欧元，每增加一件行李要加付3欧元，是需要花费最多的。故选C项。 B Rowan Atkinson is an English actor, comedian and screenwriter. In Britain, Mr Atkinson is mostly famous for many successful TV shows but internationally we know him best as the awkward, clumsy, but always amusing Mr Bean. If you think that Rowan Atkinson is anything like his famous creation, then you are in for a surprise. On the contrary, he is nothing like Mr Bean. Rowan was born on 6 January, 1955. He grew up on a farm with his parents and three older brothers. His father was very strict and did not believe in the value 10 of television. Rowan had a very successful academic career. At the age of 13, he was awarded a scholarship to a boarding school. Later, he studied at Newcastle University, where he attained the highest marks in his year. At Oxford, he obtained his master’s degree in electrical engineering. This may explain why he loves fast cars, of which he has many. When Rowan was young, he had a stutter and to make his speech clearer, he began to speak very carefully. This may be why some of his characters have unusual ways of speaking. As early as primary school, Rowan had already shown a talent for acting, but it was only later at university that he decided to become an actor. A key event occurred one day in 1976 when he was playing around and pulling a face in the mirror. “I discovered my face,” he said later. John Lloyd, who worked as a producer for BBC Television, says that one rarely meets someone with such genius, and that when he worked with Atkinson he became convinced that Rowan would be more famous than Charlie Chaplin. 24. From the first paragraph we know________. A. Mr. Atkinson is completely different from Mr. Bean B. Mr. Atkinson is famous to the British as a comedian C. Mr. Atkinson is very much like Mr. Bean D. Mr. Atkinson is really Mr. Bean 25. The reason why Mr. Atkinson loves fast cars is that ________. A. he was awarded a scholarship B. he has many fast cars C. he is good at electrical engineering D. he attained the highest marks 26. What does the sentence “I discovered my face” mean? A. he found he is handsome. B. he saw his face in the mirror. C. he realized he had genius as an actor. D. he didn’t know who he was. 27. Which of the following may be the best title of the passage? A. Rowan Atkinson B. The Contemporary Chaplin C. A famous Comedian D. A Talented Actor 【答案】24. A 25. C 26. C 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍演员罗温・艾金森的生平经历、学业成就及演艺天赋的发掘过程。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“If you think that Rowan Atkinson is anything like his famous creation, then you are in for a surprise. On the contrary, he is nothing like Mr Bean.(如果你认为罗温・艾金森和他塑造的经典角色有任何相似之处，那你可要大吃一惊了。恰恰相反，他和憨豆先生毫无相似之处)”可知，罗温・艾金森和憨豆先生完全不一样。故选A项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“At Oxford, he obtained his master’s degree in electrical engineering. This may explain why he loves fast cars, of which he has many.(在牛津大学，他取得了电气工程硕士学位。这或许就能解释为什么他钟爱跑车，而且拥有不少辆)”可知，艾金森热爱跑车的原因是他精通电气工程。故选C项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“As early as primary school, Rowan had already shown a talent for acting, but it was only later at university that he decided to become an actor. A key event occurred one day in 1976 when he was playing around and pulling a face in the mirror. ‘I discovered my face,’ he said later.(早在小学时，罗温就已经展现出了表演天赋，但直到后来上了大学，他才决定成为一名演员。1976年的一天，一件关键的事发生了 —— 当时他正对着镜子做鬼脸玩闹。他后来回忆道：“我发现了自己的面部天赋。”)”可知，这句话的含义是他意识到自己具备演员的天赋。故选C项。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，并根据第六段“John Lloyd, who worked as a producer for BBC Television, says that one rarely meets someone with such genius, and that when he worked with Atkinson he became convinced that Rowan would be more famous than Charlie Chaplin.(英国广播公司电视台制片人约翰・劳埃德表示，拥有这般天赋的人实属罕见，而且在与艾金森合作后，他坚信罗温会比查理・卓别林更加声名远扬)”可知，文章结尾借业内人士的评价，将罗温・艾金森与喜剧大师卓别林相提并论，突出其喜剧天赋与行业地位，以此升华主题。因此B项“The Contemporary Chaplin（当代卓别林）”更能体现文章对其艺术成就的高度肯定，适合作为最佳标题。故选B项。 C Older people worry about how to make young ones, who love their devices, interested in old books. Like the Monkey King from Journey to the West, he was a favorite hero before the Internet came along. Havoc in Heaven《大闹天宫》, a new Peking Opera film, attracted the wider public to the charm of the traditional Chinese performance art, featuring one of the best-known chapters from Journey to the West. This film, expected to create a new channel to promote Peking Opera, includes nearly all the key ingredients of Peking Opera. It covers all the basic techniques, more than 10 classic tunes, and make-up for dozens of facial representations of different figures’ characteristics. It’s actually a big challenge to combine Peking Opera and film, each of which has its own rhythm, according to Cheng Lu, director of the film, who is adopting a fresh approach to present the traditional art form. One challenge that Cheng and his production team faced is how to balance the new approach with maintaining the fundamentals of the art. The basic principles and performance skills in Peking Opera cannot be changed. Some background images on stage, such as a painted waterfall, remain, and a live band was on the set to provide sound for the film, rather than employing the prerecorded music. “If we change traditions to cater to people’s taste and preference for a regular film, it will no longer be a Peking Opera piece of art,” Cheng said. On the other hand, some creativity was needed because Cheng and his team did not just want to document a stage performance. Computer technology is also applied to achieve some visual effects and to present impossible scenes. Peking Opera films played a powerful role in the 1960s and 70s, but they gave way to more diverse entertainment. In recent years, there has been a recovery in the popularity of Peking Opera films. However, the overuse of special effects in many film adaptations of Peking Opera plays has weakened the original charm of the stage performances. The imagination (enabled by the stage) can never be sacrificed for a film’s expression. 28. What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To blame young people addicted to electronic devices. B. To express older people’s concern about the young generation. C. To arouse readers’ interest in traditional Chinese performance art. D. To introduce a new Peking Opera film that the article is to deal with. 29. What did Director Cheng do while producing the film? A. He made changes to basic performance skills. B. He made use of symbols and motions equally. C. He insisted on a band playing music on the scene. D. He brought onto the stage exact details of real life. 30. What innovation did Cheng’s team make? A. They opposed a rigid recording of the performance. B. They enriched visual effects with modern technology. C. They allowed actors to repeat actions before the camera. D. They adopted real explosion scenes during the shooting. 31. What can we conclude from the last paragraph? A. Imagination is a unique charm of Peking Opera films. B. Technology makes up for the loss of stage imagination. C. There is some possibility for a film to replace Peking Opera. D. The traditional appeal of Peking Opera should not be given up for movies. 【答案】28. D 29. C 30. B 31. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了京剧电影《大闹天宫》的拍摄以及其对于京剧艺术传承与创新的意义。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Older people worry about how to make young ones, who love their devices, interested in old books. Like the Monkey King from Journey to the West, he was a favorite hero before the Internet came along. Havoc in Heaven, a new Peking Opera film, attracted the wider public to the charm of the traditional Chinese performance art, featuring one of the best-known chapters from Journey to the West.(老年人担心如何让那些热爱电子设备的年轻人对旧书感兴趣。就像《西游记》中的美猴王一样，在互联网出现之前，他是一个备受欢迎的英雄。《大闹天宫》这部新的京剧电影，吸引了广大公众对中国传统表演艺术的魅力，其中展现了《西游记》中最著名的章节之一。)”可知，第一段主要是为了引出文章的主题，即要介绍一部新的京剧电影《大闹天宫》。故选D。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Some background images on stage, such as a painted waterfall, remain, and a live band was on the set to provide sound for the film, rather than employing the prerecorded music.(舞台上的一些背景图像，如一幅画的水瀑布，仍然保留着，并且有一个现场乐队在片场为电影提供声音，而不是使用预先录制的音乐。)”可知，程导演坚持让乐队在现场演奏音乐。故选C。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“On the other hand, some creativity was needed because Cheng and his team did not just want to document a stage performance. Computer technology is also applied to achieve some visual effects and to present impossible scenes.(另一方面，需要一些创造力，因为程和他的团队不仅仅想记录一场舞台表演。计算机技术也被用来实现一些视觉效果，并呈现出不可能的场景。)”可知，程的团队用现代技术丰富了视觉效果。故选B。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, the overuse of special effects in many film adaptations of Peking Opera plays has weakened the original charm of the stage performances. The imagination (enabled by the stage) can never be sacrificed for a film’s expression.(然而，在许多京剧电影的改编中，特效的过度使用削弱了舞台表演的原始魅力。舞台所带来的想象力绝不能为了电影的表达而牺牲。)”可知，作者认为为了电影，不应该放弃京剧的传统魅力。故选D。 D A form of gene therapy that is already being trialled in patients with Parkinson’s disease might provide a treatment for severe alcohol addiction. Alcohol misuse is the biggest risk factor for death, disability and ill health among people aged 15 to 49 in the UK, responsible for 9,641 deaths during 2021. Like other addictive substances, alcohol triggers the release of a feelgood chemical in the brain called dopamine. However, long-term drinking decreases dopamine release, and people who are addicted to alcohol don’t tend to feel pleasure in drinking it any more. “It seems that they’re drinking more because they feel a need to maintain a drunk state,” said Prof Kathleen Grant at Oregon Health and Science University. The idea of the gene therapy was to try to reset this dopamine reward pathway by enhancing the function of brain cells that synthesize dopamine. Like humans, some macaque monkeys are more likely to drink heavily than others: if you begin to offer them the choice of 5% alcohol alongside their regular food and water, some monkeys will eventually almost always choose the alcohol. Grant and her colleagues wondered whether resetting their dopamine reward pathways might contain their desire to drink alcohol. To do this, they used a harmless virus to deliver the gene for a protein called glial-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) to an area of the brain that is involved in addiction and reward. “We targeted the cell bodies that produce dopamine with this gene to increase dopamine synthesis, thus supplementing or restoring what long-term drinking has taken away,” Grant said. The research, which was published in Nature Medicine, found that the macaques permanently started overexpressing dopamine and decreased their alcohol consumption by up to 90%. “We are entering an era of gene therapy for neurological disorders and perhaps mental disorders, and I think this study is very promising in that direction.” Grant said. She added that animal studies are needed before the technique could be tested on humans. Also, because the gene therapy procedure involves brain surgery, it would probably only ever be used in the most severe cases of alcohol addiction. 32. Why do severe alcohol addicts drink more? A. Because they long for desired pleasure. B. Because they have a form of gene defect. C. Because they want to escape from reality. D Because they suffer from deadly disability. 33. The underlined word “synthesize” in paragraph 3 can best be replaced by ________. A. Stimulate. B. Produce. C. Charge. D. Delay. 34. What did Grant’s study focus on? A. The life habit of macaque monkeys. B. The way to control alcohol addiction. C. The working mechanism of dopamine. D. The function of the protein called GDNF. 35. What did Grant suggest about the gene therapy? A. Employ it to treat severe alcohol addiction only. B. Replace it with more efficient methods if necessary. C. Confirm its effectiveness with more tests on humans. D. Put it into widespread use on other common species. 【答案】32. A 33. B 34. B 35. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一种已经在帕金森氏症患者身上进行试验的基因疗法可能为严重的酒精成瘾提供治疗。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Like other addictive substances, alcohol triggers the release of a feelgood chemical in the brain called dopamine. However, long-term drinking decreases dopamine release, and people who are addicted to alcohol don’t tend to feel pleasure in drinking it any more. “It seems that they’re drinking more because they feel a need to maintain a drunk state,” said Prof Kathleen Grant at Oregon Health and Science University.”（像其他成瘾物质一样，酒精会引发大脑释放一种叫做多巴胺的感觉良好的化学物质。然而，长期饮酒会减少多巴胺的释放，而且嗜酒的人往往不会再从饮酒中感到快乐。俄勒冈健康与科学大学的凯瑟琳·格兰特教授说：“似乎他们喝得更多是因为他们觉得有必要保持醉酒状态。”）可推知，重度嗜酒者喝得更多是因为他们渴望想要的快乐。故选A项。 【33题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线单词句中“The idea of the gene therapy was to try to reset this dopamine reward pathway by enhancing the function of brain cells…”（基因疗法的想法是试图通过增强……脑细胞的功能来重置多巴胺奖励通路。）由此可知，此处为通过增强合成多巴胺的脑细胞的功能。故可猜测划线单词synthesize为“合成”的意思，结合选项B项Produce“生产，产生”意思一致。故选B项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Grant and her colleagues wondered whether resetting their dopamine reward pathways might contain their desire to drink alcohol. To do this, they used a harmless virus to deliver the gene for a protein called glial-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) to an area of the brain that is involved in addiction and reward.”（格兰特和她的同事们想知道，重置多巴胺奖励通路是否会抑制他们喝酒的欲望。为了做到这一点，他们使用了一种无害的病毒，将一种叫做神经胶质源性神经营养因子(GDNF)的蛋白质基因传递到大脑中与成瘾和奖励有关的区域。）可知，格兰特的研究重点是控制酒瘾的方法。故选B项。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Also, because the gene therapy procedure involves brain surgery, it would probably only ever be used in the most severe cases of alcohol addiction.”（此外，由于基因治疗过程涉及脑部手术，它可能只会用于最严重的酒精成瘾病例。）可知，格兰特对基因疗法的建议是仅用于治疗严重的酒精成瘾。故选A项。 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Why Not Build A DIY Ebike?

Save money with a DIY ebike. When you buy an electric bicycle, you aren't just paying for the ebike. ____37____ By converting (改装) a bicycle yourself, you can save a bunch of money. When you decide to convert your own bicycle into an electric bicycle, you just pay for the ebike parts themselves. Gain control when building your own ebike. When you choose your own parts, you have total control over the performance of your ebike. This applies more to choosing parts individually, but even buying a complete electric bicycle conversion kit (成套的组合部件) is a great way to go. There are so many different kits for everyone. ____38____ A DIY ebike means a better bicycle. A dirty secret of the ebike industry is that many ebike producers skimp an the quality of the actual bicycle, so that they can bring the price down enough._____39_____ ____40____ The last and perhaps best reason for converting your own bicycle into an ebike is simply the sense of fulfillment. You get a great feeling every day when you ride your ebike, knowing that you are doing a good thing for the environment and that you are also riding something you built with your own two hands. A. You can start with a simple electric bicycle. B. As a result, they can attract more consumers. C. Be proud of building your own electric bicycle. D. You're actually covering all the cost of the ebike. E. Do your own electric bicycle conversion without any help. F. The kit you choose will largely depend on your own desires. G. However, converting your own bicycle into an ebike is better. 【答案】36. G 37. D 38. F 39. B 40. C 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了虽然买一辆电动自行车是一个快速出行的好方法，但是自己动手把自行车改装成电动车会有很多好处。 【36题详解】 上文“Buying an electric bicycle is a great way to get going quickly and enjoy the immediate satisfaction of getting around on an ebike.”（买一辆电动自行车是一个快速出行的好方法，并能享受骑着电动自行车四处走动时的即时满足感。）可知，买电动车是一个迅速出行的好方法；后文“here are some of the best reasons to go with a DIY ebike. ”(下面是一些DIY电动自行车的最佳理由。)可知，空处承上启下，语意上表示转折，引出自己动手改装电动自行车的话题，G项“However, converting your own bicycle into an ebike is better.”（然而，把你自己的自行车改装成电动自行车更好），符合语境。故选G项。 【37题详解】 上文“When you buy an electric bicycle, you aren’t just paying for the ebike”（当你买一辆电动自行车时，你不仅仅是在为电动车买单）可知，当你买电动自行车的时候，你不仅仅是在买电动自行车，空处应是接着说还支付了哪些费用；D项You're actually covering all the cost of the ebike. （实际上你已经支付了这辆电动自行车的所有隐形费用）承接上文，衔接紧密。故选D项。 【38题详解】 上文“There are so many different kits out there for everyone.”（对于每个人，都有很多不同的套件。）可知，有多种配件供人们选择；F项“The kit you choose will largely depend on your own desires.”（你选择的装备很大程度上取决于你自己的意愿），前文给出人们有很多种选择的机会，所以你可以按自己的意愿来选择。并且F项中的kit与空前一句中a complete electric bicycle conversion kit相呼应，符合语境。故选F项。 【39题详解】 上文“many ebike producers skimp on (克扣) the quality of the actual bicycle, so that they can try to bring the price down enough.”（许多ebike生产商节省实际的自行车的质量，这样他们可以把价格降下来。）可知，许多电动自行车生产商克扣自行车的质量，这样他们可以把价格降到足够低，价格低应是能够吸引更多消费者，所以B项“As a result, they can attract more consumers.”（因此，他们可以吸引更多的消费者）符合语境，与空前形成因果关系。故选B项。 【40题详解】 空处位于句首，是本段的主题句，根据空后一句“The last and perhaps best reason for converting your own bicycle to electric drive is simply the sense of accomplishment. ”(最后一个或许也是最好的理由是，把你自己的自行车变成电动自行车是一种成就感)及下一句中的“a great feeling”可知，自己动手改装自行车会有一种成就感；C项“Be proud of building your own electric bicycle. ”（你会为自己改装的电动自行车而自豪）符合语境。故选C项。 第三部分 语言运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A,B,C,D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 During the corona-virus lockdown, a fifth-grade teacher contacted me asking for help.

The bell’s ringing brought her out of her daydreaming. She nervously gathered her books, preparing to reach another classroom for the next new class. Lily followed the other kids and rushed into the hallway. Others walked in groups, chatted, and laughed, using the break to socialize. Lily, instead, walked alone along the wall of the hallway, with her head down. She was a shy girl, afraid to speak in front of other kids, and didn’t think others would like her. Lily finally sat in Mr. Johnson’s Language Arts class nervously. “Welcome to Language Arts,” said Mr. Johnson. He told jokes as he talked about English. Lily forgot to daydream and laughed along with the rest of the class. “We’ll have some fun with language,” he said. “Just wait and see.” Fun was far beyond what Lily desired. She just wanted to be like other kids—running with friends in the hallway, laughing and joking between classes. Reminded of her pimply (长粉刺的) face, she felt hopeless and disappointed. “Take out a piece of paper,” the teacher continued, when pointing at words on the blackboard. “Write for the next thirty minutes on this topic.” Lily began writing crazily as idea after idea fought for recognition in her head. The final result was a short story about a beautiful beach house. As she wrote, she could smell the salty air, hear the crashing waves and feel the pull of the sand beneath her feet. For just a moment, she forgot where she was. She was lost in the story. “OK, pass your papers forward,” said the teacher. “Let’s see what we have.” For the rest of the class time, the teacher read each individual work aloud. Lily originally thought it would be awkward. However, she was gradually attracted by the excitement in the teacher’s voice. “He’s actually enjoying this,” she thought. When the class would be soon over, there were still fifteen students’ papers not read, including Lily’s paper. Then, Mr. Johnson announced his decision, asking these students to read their work themselves in front of the class next class. 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。 Paragraph 1: A week later, the bell rang and the Language Arts class began again. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: After Lily finished her reading, the clapping from her classmates continued for a long time. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version： A week later, the bell rang and the Language Arts class began again. Lily was nervous with her head down. After other students finished reading the papers one by one, finally, it was Lily’s turn. Frozen with fear, Lily stood in front of the class, with her hands holding her paper, shaking. Seeing it, Mr. Johnson told a funny joke, which made all laugh. Feeling more relaxed, Lily began reading. She was so focused that she felt she was alone. She didn’t notice that her story soon attracted all her classmates who sat up straight, without any chatting. They were lost in her fantastic story. After Lily finished her reading, the clapping from her classmates continued for a long time. Lily was shocked. When she raised her head, she found everyone staring at her excitedly. Lily finally smiled. She found everyone in the class responded to her story positively. After that class, Lily slowly lifted her head while walking. Later, she kept writing. And she began speaking in front of people and enjoyed it. A braver and more confident girl appeared. And she was grateful to Mr. Johnson who believed in every student. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了莉莉上中学的第一周非常紧张，害怕在其他孩子面前说话，也不认为别人会喜欢她。在语言艺术课上，莉莉写了一篇作文，被老师要求在下节课当着全班同学的面朗读自己的作业。莉莉最后克服了紧张，阅读了自己的文章，得到了大家的认可，莉莉也有了自信。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“一周后，下课铃响了，语言艺术课又开始了”可知，第一段可描写莉莉在课上朗读作文的情况。 ②由第二段首句内容“莉莉念完后，同学们的掌声持续了很长时间”可知，第二段可描写莉莉得到了同学的认可，获得了自信。 2.续写线索：开始上课——紧张——老师开玩笑——感觉轻松——朗读——鼓掌——获得自信 3.词汇激活 行为类 结束：finish/complete 抬起：raise/lift 注意到：notice /take notice of 情绪类 感谢的：grateful /thankful 轻松：relaxed /relieved 【点睛】[高分句型1] Frozen with fear, Lily stood in front of the class, with her hands holding her paper, shaking.
