Here are four popular websites for online users. https://www. cracked. com If you’re old enough, you might remember Cracked, the monthly magazine that was founded in 1958. Although the magazine is no longer printed, the website hutps://uwww. crached. com is still alive. The content(内容)of Cracked is humorous and tries to tell readers something new and unexpected. https://www. buzzfeed. com Are you looking for links to big news on the Internet? Look no further than hutps://www. buzafeed. com. Each day the website offers the latest stories and pictures that are crazily spread. BuzzFeed covers different topics and its articles are written by staff members, site users, and partner sites like The Huffington Post and The Daily Beast. https://www. reddit. com Reddit calls itself“the front page of the Internet”, and that is exactly what it is. Just as many people used to read the newspaper while eating breakfast, one to two million Internet users read Reddit every morning to get their daily news. The content of this website comes entirely from the public, with users uploading(上传) videos, links, stories, pictures, etc. https://imgur. com Do you know many of the funny pictures, GIFs and emojis(表情符号) that hit your Facebook come from Imgur? It’s a free website where users upload 1. 5 million pictures each day. Imgur users are especially fond of pictures of cute animals and beautiful natural wonders. And it is free to read and use. You can download any photo you like. 1. Which of the following can best describe the content of Cracked? A. Serious and classical. B. Formal and influential. C. Funny and surprising. D. Traditional and educational. 2. What does BuzzFeed mainly offer? A. The funniest pictures. B. The most humorous articles. C. The latest videos. D. The hottest news. 3. Which website should you visit if you want to collect lots of emojis for free? A. https://www. crached. com. B. https://imgur. com. C. https://www. buzfeed. com. D. https://www. reddit. com. B Nobody likes waiting in long lines at amusement parks, especially when you are with babies. Disney land or Disney World are known for their splendid rides, attractions and large crowds as well.The familiar result is that many guests have spent a lot of time just waiting in lines while visiting the theme parks, which annoys the majority. Until recently, both parks made use of the Fast Pass system to keep guests moving. On certain rides, park-goers could obtain a ticket that allowed them to come back within a specific time window. At that point, they would wait on a special line for seating. As explained in a recent YouTube share, the system worked similarly to a real queue. Instead of waiting in line, guests could continue to explore the park and, most importantly for Disney, spend more money at shops and restaurants. While the Fast Pass system became popular, usage ended during the recent pandemic (流行病). With both the California and Florida theme parks operating at reduced visiting number, the space taken up by FastPass kiosks (售货亭) was instead used for socially distanced lines. In its place, Disney has developed a new planning tool called Disney Genie. The online app, which became available in Disney World in October, allows guests to create a path for their visit. By using park data that’s updated throughout the day, the app will help guests plan out their visit so that they can hit the rides and attractions that they want to in the most convenient way. Guests using the app pay an extra fee and get the option to book the next available time to ride select attractions. 4. What may upset most visitors of Disney? A. Spending most of the time waiting in lines B. Poor equipment in theme parks C. Fewer attractions D. High prices at restaurants 5. What did FastPass system bring about? A. Lower ticket fees B. Less visitors in Disney C. Extra income at shops in Disney D. Having a comfortable and better seat. 6. What is the text mainly about? A. How a new app is created B. Why the FastPass system became popular C. What attracts visitors to Disneyland D How Disney manages crowds at its theme parks 7. Who is this text mainly written for? A. Computer programmers. B. Travelers to Disney World. C. Businessmen of supermarkets. D. Foreign entertainment park builders. C In the 1997 movie Contact, a scientist, played by actress Jodie Foster, detects a radio signal—the first communication from an extraterrestrial civilization. That story, composed by Carl Sagan, is a fiction. But the search for such a signal is not a crazy story. Real scientists look to the sky, using powerful radio telescopes, hoping to hear even a whisper of a radio signal from one of our neighboring planets. Indeed, a recent report of a transmission originating from Proxima Centauri, the closest star to our own, was reported by the British newspaper The Guardian in December. The source of the story is not a scientific paper, but instead it seems to have been leaked by an unknown source. The claim of a signal, if it turns out to be truly a sign of extraterrestrial intelligence, would be one of the most important discoveries of all time. In April and May of 2019, the 64-meter-wide Parkes radio telescope, located in Australia, was recording radio transmissions from the direction of nearby star Proxima Centauri. Over the course of hours, the telescope documented data from the star every half an hour, before moving away to look at a different direction. This procedure, called “nodding,” was used to make sure that any observed signal is coming from a particular direction, rather than just random radio noise. This signal was not immediately noticed; it was over a year after the data was recorded that Shane Smith, an assistant with Breakthrough Listen, found it buried in the telescope's recordings. This was in late October 2020. So, what exactly was seen? It was a radio signal at a single frequency, specifically 980.002MHz.It was observed to have originated in a small patch of the sky, about half the diameter of the full moon, centred on Proxima Centauri. 8. Why is the movie Contact mentioned in Paragraph 1? A. To show the close connection between fiction and signals. B. To introduce the topic of a radio signal from a near planet. C. To stress the importance of the extraterrestrial civilization. D. To persuade people to pay more attention to radio signals. 9. What does the underlined word probably mean? A. given off. B. given in. C. given away. D. given up. 10. How did the radio telescope collect data? A. By recording the data every 30minutes. B. By staying away at a different direction. C. By analyzing the direction of the signals. D. By focusing on some random radio noise. 11. What do we know about the radio signal found by Shane Smith? A It was sent by some space aliens. B. It probably originated from Proxima Centauri. C. It was noticed as soon as it was observed. D. It changed rapidly with the passing of time. D Japan’s biggest airline is betting that the future of travel isn’t traveling at all. For the last month, a married couple has been interacting with a robot—called an Avatar—that’s controlled by their daughter hundreds of miles away. Made by ANA Holdings Inc., it looks like a vacuum cleaner with an iPad attached. But the screen displays the daughter’s face as they chat, and its wheels let her move about the house as though she’s really there. “Virtual travel” is nothing new, of course. Story-tellers, travel writers and artists have been stimulating the senses of armchair tourists for centuries. It’s only in recent decades that frequent, safe travel has become available to the non-wealthy. Yet even as the world’s middle classes climb out of the armchair and into economy-class seat, there are signs of a post-travel society emerging. Concerns about environmental sustainability cause loss to airlines which release much carbon. And the aging of abundant societies is both restricting physical travel and creating demand for alternative ways to experience the world. For the travel industry, virtual reality offers an attractive response to these trends. Of course, new technologies encourage far-out claims. ANA doesn’t plan to start selling Avatars until next year. Profits, too, will probably be difficult to make: By one estimate, the global market for this kind of technology will be worth only about $300 million by 2023. By contrast, ANA’s traditional travel business brought in more than $19 billion last year. But if the business value for virtual vacations is still weak, the market for technologies that bridge physical distances between families and coworkers seems likely to only expand. ANA’s robots may not replace its airplanes any time soon, but they’ll almost certainly be a part of travel’s high-tech future. 12. What is the function of Para. 1? A. To show that Japanese are crazy about travel. B. To suggest the couple are very satisfied with the robot. C. To indicate virtual travel begins to enter people’s real life. D. To express the close relationship between the couple and their daughter. 13. What is the reason for the appearance of the post-travel society? A. More and more people lose interest in travel. B. People are worried about the air pollution caused by airlines. C. Frequent and safe travel has become available to the ordinary people. D. Storytellers, travel writers and artists have been using it for centuries. 14. According to the passage, what is the possible future of Avatars? A. They will be put on the market soon. B. They will bring ANA a lot of money. C. They will replace ANA’s airplanes soon. D. They are almost unavoidable in travel’s future. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Easy travel is on the way. B. Your next travel may be virtual. C. Benefits of virtual travel. D. Disappearance of air travel. 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。 I’ve been living in Spain for decades and I securely guarantee that I have a talent in figuring out the cool hidden local spots. As a foreigner, I couldn’t care less about doing the touristy things or enjoying fancy cuisine. ____16____ So I always attempt to find something that’s appealing and fun yet represents the local culture, and that offers an interaction with the locals. My reputation for doing this has grown. ____17____ Since I am somewhat fluent in Spanish, I could charge people for this and become somewhat of an official tour guide. I choose not to though, because to me, the most important thing is making sure the tourist, who already spent a lot of time and money getting to where I am, has the fun and cultural experience they could possibly have. ____18____ In that case, tourists can explore the local culture further at the lowest cost. They could otherwise spend a significant sum of money on a guided tour that keeps them comfortable but separated from the culture.

Show them the places that mean something to you. Show them your heart through the places that you show them and the experience you give them. There’s something good in almost every town out there. If you don’t have any spots in your area that you like, learn to find the good in the place you live. If you find the good in where you live, you will also find the good in yourself. It’s a time that both you and the tourist will probably never obtain again. ____20____ A. Everyone can do the same. B. I could hardly have imagined it would happen. C. It could also help me create a lifelong connection with them. D. What’s most crucial is experiencing the genuine country and culture. E I know better than tourists themselves what they are eager to experience. F. Don’t rush the experience, thoroughly enjoy every moment with that person. G. I’m being asked frequently to offer people tours, both to friends and strangers. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（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。 Students at an elementary school in California, with the help of their art teacher, created a telephone hotline that people can call to get ____21____ advice from kids during difficult times.

I should add that we’re not allowed to call her Gran, because she says it makes her feel old. That summer, I lost my job and felt hopeless. One day, I paid a visit to her. On my arrival, seeing my low spirits, she asked me whether I had prepared to get a new start. I just kept silent. Without any more words, she picked up a box which she placed on the coffee table saying “You do know what you’re doing with these things, don’t you?” It was a new phone. Her current mobile was pretty ancient. “Yes,” I said. “Good. That’s why I ask you. You young people know more about such things than us oldies. You can take it home and get it all set up,” she went on “Then, when you bring it back, show me how to use my new phone, such as getting on the Internet, sending e-mails and so on. She smiled so sweetly. Setting up the phone would be easy, but teaching her how to use it might be challenging. The following day, I headed back to my great-grandmother’s with the phone. “Here’s your phone. It’s all ready to use.” For the next hour, I was busy setting up her passcode (密码) and fingerprint recognition, which she said was like something out of James Bond. When I finally got her to swipe (滑动屏幕), she didn’t put the right amount of pressure on and the menu slipped away. After what seemed like hours, she threw the phone across the room and it landed on the sofa. “Take it away!” she howled. “I want my old phone back!” I picked up the phone and was about to leave to give her time to cool down when I realized I didn’t want to go home when she was angry. 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。 “Come on, Eileen. One more try.” I said. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ It was then that I heard the claps and cheers around me. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 厦门大学附属科技中学2023-2024学年高三上学期8月份月考 英语试题 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，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.What is the weather probably like now?

B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍迪士尼为解决游客排队问题，先后推出Fast Pass快速通行系统和Disney Genie规划应用两款方案。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The familiar result is that many guests have spent a lot of time just waiting in lines while visiting the theme parks, which annoys the majority. (一个常见的情况是，许多游客在游览主题公园时，花了大量时间排队，这让大多数人感到心烦。)”可知，让大多数迪士尼游客不满的是花大量时间排队。故选A项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Instead of waiting inline, guests could continue to explore the park and, most importantly for Disney, spend more money at shops and restaurants. (游客不用排队，而是可以继续游览公园，而对迪士尼来说最重要是，他们会在商店和餐厅消费更多。)”可知，快速通行系统能为迪士尼的商铺带来额外收入。故选C项。 【6题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文特别是第一段“Nobody likes waiting in long lines at amusement parks, especially when you are with babies. Disney land or Disney World are known for their splendid rides, attractions and large crowds as well.The familiar result is that many guests have spent a lot of time just waiting in lines while visiting the theme parks, which annoys the majority.(没人喜欢在游乐园排长队，尤其是带着小宝宝的时候。迪士尼乐园或迪士尼世界向来以精彩的游乐设施、景点项目，以及络绎不绝的游客而闻名。一个常见的情况是，许多游客在游览主题乐园的过程中，大半时间都耗在了排队上，这让绝大多数人都颇为恼火。)”可知，文章先指出迪士尼乐园游客排队的问题，接着介绍过去的Fast Pass快速通行系统，再说明该系统在疫情期间停用的原因，最后引出替代的Disney Genie应用程序。所以全文围绕迪士尼如何管理园区客流展开。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The familiar result is that many guests have spent a lot of time just waiting in lines while visiting the theme parks, which annoys the majority. (一个常见的情况是，许多游客在游览主题公园时，花了大量时间排队，这让大多数人感到心烦。)”和第二段“Until recently, both parks made use of the Fast Pass system to keep guests moving.(直到最近，2个公园都使用了FastPass系统使得游客一直在移动。)”以及下文内容可知，文章主要介绍迪士尼为解决游客排队问题推出的两种方案，内容均与迪士尼游客的游园体验相关。由此可推断，本文的目标读者是去迪士尼乐园的游客。故选B项。 C In the 1997 movie Contact, a scientist, played by actress Jodie Foster, detects a radio signal—the first communication from an extraterrestrial civilization. That story, composed by Carl Sagan, is a fiction. But the search for such a signal is not a crazy story. Real scientists look to the sky, using powerful radio telescopes, hoping to hear even a whisper of a radio signal from one of our neighboring planets. Indeed, a recent report of a transmission originating from Proxima Centauri, the closest star to our own, was reported by the British newspaper The Guardian in December. The source of the story is not a scientific paper, but instead it seems to have been leaked by an unknown source. The claim of a signal, if it turns out to be truly a sign of extraterrestrial intelligence, would be one of the most important discoveries of all time. In April and May of 2019, the 64-meter-wide Parkes radio telescope, located in Australia, was recording radio transmissions from the direction of nearby star Proxima Centauri. Over the course of hours, the telescope documented data from the star every half an hour, before moving away to look at a different direction. This procedure, called “nodding,” was used to make sure that any observed signal is coming from a particular direction, rather than just random radio noise. This signal was not immediately noticed; it was over a year after the data was recorded that Shane Smith, an assistant with Breakthrough Listen, found it buried in the telescope's recordings. This was in late October 2020. So, what exactly was seen? It was a radio signal at a single frequency, specifically 980.002MHz.It was observed to have originated in a small patch of the sky, about half the diameter of the full moon, centred on Proxima Centauri. 8. Why is the movie Contact mentioned in Paragraph 1? A. To show the close connection between fiction and signals. B. To introduce the topic of a radio signal from a near planet. C. To stress the importance of the extraterrestrial civilization. D. To persuade people to pay more attention to radio signals. 9. What does the underlined word probably mean? A. given off. B. given in. C. given away. D. given up. 10. How did the radio telescope collect data? A. By recording the data every 30minutes. B. By staying away at a different direction. C. By analyzing the direction of the signals. D. By focusing on some random radio noise. 11. What do we know about the radio signal found by Shane Smith? A. It was sent by some space aliens. B. It probably originated from Proxima Centauri. C. It was noticed as soon as it was observed. D. It changed rapidly with the passing of time. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍科学家探测比邻星无线电信号的相关经过与研究细节。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“That story, composed by Carl Sagan, is a fiction. But the search for such a signal is not a crazy story. Real scientists look to the sky, using powerful radio telescopes, hoping to hear even a whisper of a radio signal from one of our neighboring planets.(这个由卡尔・萨根创作的故事是虚构的，但寻找这类信号并非天方夜谭。真正的科学家正仰望着天空，借助高灵敏度的射电望远镜，期盼能捕捉到哪怕一丝来自邻近星球的无线电信号)”可知，作者提及电影《超时空接触》是为了引出来自邻近星球的无线电信号这一话题。故选B项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“The source of the story is not a scientific paper, but instead it seems to have been leaked by an unknown source. The claim of a signal, if it turns out to be truly a sign of extraterrestrial intelligence, would be one of the most important discoveries of all time. (这则消息的来源并非一篇科学论文，而是似乎由某个不明渠道leaked出去的。 倘若这个信号真的能被证实是外星智慧存在的迹象，那么这一发现将会成为有史以来最重要的科学发现之一。)”可知，不明渠道泄露了消息的来源。所以“leaked”的含义是“泄露”。故选C项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Over the course of hours, the telescope documented data from the star every half an hour, before moving away to look at a different direction.(在数小时的观测中，望远镜每半小时记录一次来自这颗恒星的数据，之后才转向其他方向观测)”可知，射电望远镜是每30分钟记录一次数据来完成信息收集的。故选A项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“It was observed to have originated in a small patch of the sky, about half the diameter of the full moon, centred on Proxima Centauri. (观测发现，该信号源自天空中一片以比邻星为中心、直径约为满月一半的区域)”可知，谢恩·史密斯发现的无线电信号很可能起源于比邻星。故选B项。 D Japan’s biggest airline is betting that the future of travel isn’t traveling at all. For the last month, a married couple has been interacting with a robot—called an Avatar—that’s controlled by their daughter hundreds of miles away. Made by ANA Holdings Inc., it looks like a vacuum cleaner with an iPad attached. But the screen displays the daughter’s face as they chat, and its wheels let her move about the house as though she’s really there. “Virtual travel” is nothing new, of course. Story-tellers, travel writers and artists have been stimulating the senses of armchair tourists for centuries. It’s only in recent decades that frequent, safe travel has become available to the non-wealthy. Yet even as the world’s middle classes climb out of the armchair and into economy-class seat, there are signs of a post-travel society emerging. Concerns about environmental sustainability cause loss to airlines which release much carbon. And the aging of abundant societies is both restricting physical travel and creating demand for alternative ways to experience the world. For the travel industry, virtual reality offers an attractive response to these trends. Of course, new technologies encourage far-out claims. ANA doesn’t plan to start selling Avatars until next year. Profits, too, will probably be difficult to make: By one estimate, the global market for this kind of technology will be worth only about $300 million by 2023. By contrast, ANA’s traditional travel business brought in more than $19 billion last year. But if the business value for virtual vacations is still weak, the market for technologies that bridge physical distances between families and coworkers seems likely to only expand. ANA’s robots may not replace its airplanes any time soon, but they’ll almost certainly be a part of travel’s high-tech future. 12. What is the function of Para. 1? A. To show that Japanese are crazy about travel. B. To suggest the couple are very satisfied with the robot. C. To indicate virtual travel begins to enter people’s real life. D. To express the close relationship between the couple and their daughter. 13 What is the reason for the appearance of the post-travel society? A. More and more people lose interest in travel. B. People are worried about the air pollution caused by airlines. C. Frequent and safe travel has become available to the ordinary people. D. Storytellers, travel writers and artists have been using it for centuries. 14. According to the passage, what is the possible future of Avatars? A. They will be put on the market soon. B. They will bring ANA a lot of money. C. They will replace ANA’s airplanes soon. D. They are almost unavoidable in travel’s future. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Easy travel is on the way. B. Your next travel may be virtual. C. Benefits of virtual travel. D. Disappearance of air travel. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了虚拟旅游出现的原因及其商业价值。 【详解】1. 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“For the last month, a married couple has been interacting with a robot—called an Avatar—that’s controlled by their daughter hundreds of miles away. Made by ANA Holdings Inc., it looks like a vacuum cleaner with an iPad attached. But the screen displays the daughter’s face as they chat, and its wheels let her move about the house as though she’s really there.”（一对夫妇一直在与一个被称为“Avatar”的机器人互动，这个机器人由他们数百英里外的女儿控制。它由全日空公司生产，看起来像一个带有iPad的真空吸尘器。但这对夫妻与女儿聊天时，屏幕上显示的是女儿的脸，她可以借助机器人的轮子来回移动，就好像她真的在那里一样。）可知，Avatar机器人帮助女儿实现了虚拟旅游，作者举这个例子就是为了证明虚拟旅游已经开始进入现实生活。故选C项。 2. 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Concerns about environmental sustainability cause loss to airlines which release much carbon. And the aging of abundant societies is both restricting physical travel and creating demand for alternative ways to experience the world. For the travel industry, virtual reality offers an attractive response to these trends.”（对环境可持续性的担忧正在让排放量很高的航空公司遭受损失。富裕社会的老龄化不仅限制了人们的身体旅行，也催生了用其他方式体验社会的需求。对于旅游业来说，虚拟现实对这些趋势提供了有诱人的回应。）由此推断，人们担忧航空造成的空气污染可能是虚拟旅游出现的原因。故选B项。 3. 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“ANA’s robots may not replace its airplanes any time soon, but they’ll almost certainly be a part of travel’s high-tech future.”（ANA公司的机器人可能不会很快取代飞机，但它们几乎可以肯定地是，他们会成为高科技旅游业未来的一部分。）可知，在未来的旅行中，Avatar机器人几乎是不可避免的。故选D项。 4. 主旨大意题。本文第一段通过一对夫妻借助一家日本公司生产的Avatar机器人成功实现虚拟旅游的例子来表明虚拟旅游已经开始进入现实，接着探讨了虚拟旅游出现的可能原因，最后指出虽然虚拟度假还没有足够的商业价值，但未来其市场需求只会有增无减。全文都是围绕虚拟旅游来写的，所以B项“你的下一次度假可能是虚拟的”最适合做本文的标题。故选B。 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。 I’ve been living in Spain for decades and I securely guarantee that I have a talent in figuring out the cool hidden local spots. As a foreigner, I couldn’t care less about doing the touristy things or enjoying fancy cuisine. ____16____ So I always attempt to find something that’s appealing and fun yet represents the local culture, and that offers an interaction with the locals. My reputation for doing this has grown. ____17____ Since I am somewhat fluent in Spanish, I could charge people for this and become somewhat of an official tour guide. I choose not to though, because to me, the most important thing is making sure the tourist, who already spent a lot of time and money getting to where I am, has the fun and cultural experience they could possibly have. ____18____ In that case, tourists can explore the local culture further at the lowest cost. They could otherwise spend a significant sum of money on a guided tour that keeps them comfortable but separated from the culture. I choose to give them an experience that’s deeper and opens their mind, all for free. ____19____ When someone is visiting your area, don’t just take them to the touristy spots. Show them the places that mean something to you. Show them your heart through the places that you show them and the experience you give them. There’s something good in almost every town out there. If you don’t have any spots in your area that you like, learn to find the good in the place you live. If you find the good in where you live, you will also find the good in yourself. It’s a time that both you and the tourist will probably never obtain again. ____20____ A. Everyone can do the same. B. I could hardly have imagined it would happen. C. It could also help me create a lifelong connection with them. D. What’s most crucial is experiencing the genuine country and culture. E. I know better than tourists themselves what they are eager to experience. F. Don’t rush the experience, thoroughly enjoy every moment with that person. G. I’m being asked frequently to offer people tours, both to friends and strangers. 【答案】16. D 17. G 18. C 19. A 20.

Show them the places that mean something to you. Show them your heart through the places that you show them and the experience you give them.(当有人来你的地区旅游时，不要只带他们去旅游景点。带他们去那些对你有意义的地方。通过你带他们去的地方和你给他们的经历，向他们展示你的心)”可知，本段讲述的是有人去你所在的地区，不要带他们去景点，你可以带他们去你觉得有意义的地方，结合上一段中讲述的作者带他游客去他所在地区体验当地文化可知，该段讲述的与上文作者的做法一样，A选项“Everyone can do the same.(每个人都可以做同样的事情)”概括了本段的内容，且起到了承上启下的作用。故选A项。 【20题详解】 根据空前的“It’s a time that both you and the tourist will probably never obtain again.(这是一个你和游客可能永远不会再获得的时刻)”可知，此处讲述的是这是与游客很可能永远不会获得的时间，F选项“Don’t rush the experience, thoroughly enjoy every moment with that person.(不要匆忙的体验，彻底享受和那人在一起的每一刻)”中的“enjoy every moment with that person.”与空前的内容吻合，其中的that person与空前的the tourist指代一致。故选F项。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（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。 Students at an elementary school in California, with the help of their art teacher, created a telephone hotline that people can call to get ____21____ advice from kids during difficult times.

However, when ____36____ (look) at it more closely, I see something interesting. In the picture, a man is wearing a hat and an apron, and is carrying an umbrella because it is raining ____37____ (heavy). He has his back turned to us. We can see he is in his garden, for he is watering the flowers ____38____ a watering can. The drawing ____39____ (entitle) “It’s Time to Water the Flowers”. This implies that this man obviously loves routines (and his flowers), and probably ____40____ (water) his flowers every day at the same time. He is doing this even though it is raining heavily. However, the plants don’t need the extra water he is providing. He is not seeing the obvious, but is just going through the motions without ____41____ (think).

I should add that we’re not allowed to call her Gran, because she says it makes her feel old. That summer, I lost my job and felt hopeless. One day, I paid a visit to her. On my arrival, seeing my low spirits, she asked me whether I had prepared to get a new start. I just kept silent. Without any more words, she picked up a box which she placed on the coffee table saying “You do know what you’re doing with these things, don’t you?” It was a new phone. Her current mobile was pretty ancient. “Yes,” I said. “Good. That’s why I ask you. You young people know more about such things than us oldies. You can take it home and get it all set up,” she went on “Then, when you bring it back, show me how to use my new phone, such as getting on the Internet, sending e-mails and so on. She smiled so sweetly. Setting up the phone would be easy, but teaching her how to use it might be challenging. The following day, I headed back to my great-grandmother’s with the phone. “Here’s your phone. It’s all ready to use.” For the next hour, I was busy setting up her passcode (密码) and fingerprint recognition, which she said was like something out of James Bond. When I finally got her to swipe (滑动屏幕), she didn’t put the right amount of pressure on and the menu slipped away. After what seemed like hours, she threw the phone across the room and it landed on the sofa. “Take it away!” she howled. “I want my old phone back!” I picked up the phone and was about to leave to give her time to cool down when I realized I didn’t want to go home when she was angry. 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。 “Come on, Eileen. One more try.” I said. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ It was then that I heard the claps and cheers around me. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考答案： “Come on, Eileen. One more try.” I said, holding the phone gently in front of her. “You can do it. Just think of it as a game, like the ones you used to play when you were younger.” She looked at me with a mixture of doubt and determination, the kind of look that had seen her through many challenges in her long life. I knew that if anyone could master this new technology, it was her, who had always been so adaptable and curious. It was then that I heard the claps and cheers around me. I turned around to see that my family had gathered in the doorway, watching our little struggle with amusement and pride. “You’ve got this, Gran!” my cousin shouted, using the name she secretly liked. Seeing their support, Eileen’s face lit up with a smile that was both mischievous and triumphant. She took a deep breath and swiped again, this time with just the right amount of pressure. The menu stayed open, and we all cheered even louder, knowing that this was just the beginning of many more adventures together. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。作者失业后心情低落去拜访曾祖母，她给作者一个新手机让作者设置好后教她使用。作者设置好带回，教她时她因操作不好生气要回旧手机，作者正要离开让她冷静时，意识到不想在她生气时回家。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“加油，Eileen。再试一次。”可知，第一段可以描写作者鼓励奶奶Eileen尝试使用手机，描写作者的语言、动作，Eileen的神情与性格特点，体现出她面对新科技的迟疑与骨子里的坚韧。 ②由第二段句首内容“就在这时，我听到了周围的掌声和欢呼声。”可知，第二段可以描写家人突然出现并为Eileen加油，描写家人的语言、状态，以及Eileen因家人支持而产生的情绪变化，接着写Eileen成功操作手机的动作与结果，最后写众人欢呼的场景，点明这是家人共同新冒险的开端。 2.续写线索：鼓励Eileen试手机 —— Eileen迟疑又坚定的反应 ——作者坚信Eileen能掌握新科技 —— 家人出现并为Eileen加油 —— Eileen因支持重拾信心并成功操作 —— 众人欢呼，开启共同新冒险 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①拿着手机：hold the phone/grasp the phone/carry the phone ②聚集：gather/congregate/assemble ③掌握：master/grasp/learn well 情绪类： ①怀疑：doubt/skepticism/uncertainty ②坚定：determination/resolve/firmness 【点睛】【高分句型1】She looked at me with a mixture of doubt and determination, the kind of look that had seen her through many challenges in her long life.
