Their ideas are transforming communities and society. Here’s a look at the achievements of three inspirational young leaders. Kwiri Yang Kwiri is the founder and CEO of LifeGyde, an online platform for young people to seek advice, guidance and support. She has an impressive track record of supporting individuals and small businesses. She first helped immigrant owners of small businesses in California. When she developed anxiety and depression, Kwiri realized how many people, like her, were struggling with their mental health-and LifeGyde was born. Abi Ramanan Abi is the co-founder and CEO of ImpactVision, a software platform that uses machine learning to reduce food waste. ImpactVision’s technology uses digital imaging to take a picture of food and analyze its nutritional (营养的) value and freshness. The system aims to reduce waste while also improving food safety. As technology advances, the sensors it uses are reducing in size and price, and could soon be integrated into everyday devices. Doreen Kessy Doreen is the CEO of Ubongo, a multi-media educational platform in Africa. Using the power of entertainment and mass media, the company provides educational material at low cost and high volume. Some 6. 4 million households in 31 countries currently watch, listen and learn from Ubongo’s cartoons each week, with improved outcomes in maths and school readiness. 1. What is Kwiri Yang’s achievement? A. She established a company with immigrants. B. She found a cure for anxiety and depression. C. She supported the young in their mental health. D. She set up an online learning platform for young people. 2. Abi Ramanan founded ImpactVision in order to promote ________. A. people’s vision B. machine learning C. food security. D. digital sensors 3. What do the three people have in common? A. They provide useful material at low cost. B. Their platforms are targeted at young users. C. Their work brings benefit to people’s health. D. They make good use of information technology. B Matt Holland, a sailing instructor in Guernsey, has taken on an enhanced version of the 30 Bays in 30 Days challenge, by completing the event within 24 hours. He took on the feat (英勇事迹) which has broken his fund-raising target for Les Bourgs Hospice, a hospital for people who are dying. Matt Holland’s mum, Sam Holland, was cared for by the team at Les Bourgs Hospice before her death earlier this year. “I want to do something to give back to the Les Bourgs Hospice. It holds a place close to my heart because of the role they held in caring for my mum during her final months, battling with Motor Neurone Disease (MND),” he said. “They greatly improved her quality of life and without them, we would not have had the time as a family we so very needed.” Matt Holland said he was in disbelief that he had completed the challenge, reaching more than 30 miles during his run. “When I start at the bathing pools, it is hard to imagine what the challenge will be like. As I get onto that first run, I feel okay, and I think I could do this for the next eight, nine, or ten hours,” he remembered. He said it was amazing to experience the sense of community during the challenge which included people showing up at different bays to join him, even his mum’s old friends. “One of the first things my mind turned to on that first run was what my mum would say and I decided she’d be going, ‘you’re absolutely crazy,’” he added. Matt Holland ended his challenge at Fermain, a special place for his family. He finished the journey just before 21:00 BST on Monday which was a bit slower than he would have liked. Tired but proud, he would take some time to rest before deciding on his next adventure. 4. Why did Matt Holland take on the challenge? A. To set a world record. B. To treat his mother’s illness. C. To raise money for a hospital. D. To improve his sailing skills. 5. What did Matt Holland think of his completing the challenge? A. He found it unbelievable. B. He was still dissatisfied with it. C. He believed it distanced him from his friends. D. He thought his swimming talent helped him achieve it. 6. What can we learn about Les Bourgs Hospice from the passage? A. It is a place that provides financial help to people in need. B. It mainly treats patients suffering from Motor Neurone Disease. C It played an important role in improving Matt’s mother’s last days. D. It regularly organizes fund-raising challenges with community support. 7. Which of the following words can best describe Matt Holland? A. Honest. B. Humorous. C. Self-centered. D. Strong-minded. C Today’s journalists face modern challenges. Online media platforms are springing up. And the lowly newspaper — and its reporters — are fighting money, tech, and distrust issues. Journalism students and teachers must emphasize new skills to keep their profession alive. A trustworthy press helps inform people and monitor all levels of government. That is essential to a nation. Yet this useful establishment is growing increasingly unpopular. According to the University of North Carolina (UNC), newsroom jobs across the country are fewer than half what they were 10 years ago. And on many college campuses, the news about the news is dismal too. Take the Syracuse, New York, student-run newspaper The Daily Orange: It isn’t daily anymore. The paper prints just three times each week. Next year, The Diamondback of the University of Maryland will be online only. Half the newspapers that still exist on paper say they don’t print as many copies. And UNC’s The Daily Tar Heel has cut staff pay and rented cheaper offices to make its budget. Considering the problems in journalism, it’s surprising that the enrollment (注册人数) in college journalism programs is up. The Daily Orange managing editor Catherine Leffert calls the layoffs and cutbacks disheartening. “But what keeps me wanting to be a journalist is seeing the effect that The Daily Orange has,” he says. But journalism educators wonder, “Are we preparing young people for a dying industry?” Years ago, journalism graduates took low-level reporter jobs at newspapers or television stations. That still happens. But today’s jobs more often involve digital editing, social media production, and video streaming. Some universities are taking action. The University of Florida offers a sports media program. Several schools highlight statistics-driven data journalism. The news isn’t all bad. Journalism professor Kathleen Culver says, “When I look at 18-and 20-year-olds in journalism and see what they want to do, I’m optimistic.” Maddy Arrowood is the student editor of The Daily Tar Heel. She says her experience makes her more interested in a journalism career, not less. Her optimism “comes from knowing that people still need news. They still need information.” 8. What does the underlined word “dismal” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Depressing. B. Funny. C. Inspiring. D. Useless. 9. How do some universities respond to today’s journalism? A. They decide to cut down on student enrollment. B. They provide students with specialized programs. C. They introduce students to low-level reporter jobs. D. They advise students to run their own newspapers. 10. Why is Maddy Arrowood mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To indicate the popularity of The Daily Tar Heel. B. To confirm people’s eagerness for the latest news. C. To show people’s negative attitudes to journalism. D. To prove the bright future of a career in journalism. 11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. What does journalism mean to you? B. Are journalists still influential today? C. Does journalism have a future? D. What is a journalist’s job now? D Under the large thick areas of ice in Antarctica, there are hundreds of hidden lakes that play an important role in shaping Antarctica’s cold environment. These lakes affect how glaciers (冰川) move, which in turn can affect global sea levels. Scientists have recently discovered 85 new subglacial (冰川下的) lakes using some information from the European Space Agency’s CryoSat satellite, which has been observing the area for over ten years. This discovery increases the total number of known active subglacial lakes in Antarctica to 231. The study, published in Nature Communications, is important because these lakes drain (排水) and refill repeatedly, which makes it difficult to observe what happens deep under the ice. Sally Wilson, a researcher from the University of Leeds, explained that the challenge is that these lakes are under hundreds of meters of ice. “It is hard to observe the process of filling and draining, as it can take months or years. Before this study, only 36 complete cycles of filling and draining had been observed. Now, we have observed 12 more complete fill-drain events, bringing the total to 48,” she said. Satellites have been important in this discovery. CryoSat has been observing the thickness of polar ice and measuring changes in ice sheet heights over Greenland and Antarctica for over ten years. By checking the information from CryoSat, scientists could discern changes in the ice surface caused by the filling and draining of these subglacial lakes. Understanding these changes brings new hope for studying sea level rise. Now, models used to study sea level rise do not include the effects of subglacial lakes. This new research will help improve these models by offering more information on how water moves under Antarctica’s ice. “By mapping where and when these lakes are active, we can have a better understanding of future sea level rise in advance,” said Sally. 12. What does the author point out in the first paragraph? A. Antarctica’s thick ice areas are becoming smaller. B. Global warming puts subglacial lakes in danger. C. Subglacial lakes affect Antarctica’s environment. D. Rising sea levels strike the developing countries. 13. What does the author want to do in paragraph 4? A. Come up with new ideas about subglacial lakes. B. Describe the possible problems subglacial lakes bring. C. Raise a reasonable doubt about the appearance of subglacial lakes. D. Present a further explanation for the trouble of observing subglacial lakes. 14. What can we infer from the passage about the models studying sea level rise? A. They have been widely used to predict global climate change. B. They will be more accurate with the new research on subglacial lakes. C. They already include all the factors that influence sea level rise. D. They were developed by researchers from the University of Leeds. 15. What does Sally want to stress in the last paragraph? A. The role of Antarctica’s ice. B. The development of sea levels. C The disadvantages of these models. D. The value of the study’s findings. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，共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。 Like it or love it, social media is a major part of life. Teens spend more than half of their waking hours online. They use some of that time to post pictures and create profiles on social media accounts. ____16____ Clicking on a thumbs-up or a heart icon is an easy way to stay in touch. ____17____ Some social media sites use those likes to determine how many people eventually see a post. One with many likes is more likely to be seen-and to get even more likes. What’s more, viewing posts with a lot of likes activates the reward system in our brain. ____18____ For example, posts related to alcohol may encourage teens to drink. That means that what you like online has the power to influence not just what others like, but even what they do. ____19____ And not always in a good way. For example, in one 2011 study, teens doing a driving task in a lab took more risks when their friends were around. Researchers also looked at the teens’ brains during this task. They saw activity in a part of the brain that’s involved in rewards, which suggests the teens were changing their behavior to try to get social approval. Joining social media can give people a sense of being in the know. But posts may exaggerate (夸大) how well our friends and others are feeling, making them appear much happier than we are. ____20____ A. It can also lower the viewer’s self-control. B. A popular post doesn’t necessarily mean it is a quality post. C. It’s no surprise: Feedback from peers affects how teens behave. D. Their brains respond to those likes by turning on the reward center. E. And that can, inappropriately, make us feel less successful than them. F But those “likes” can have power that goes beyond a simple connection. G. Most of what they do is read and respond to posts by friends and family. 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，掌握大意，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。 Silvana Clark graduated from high school at the age of 18.

My classmates called me“Mr. Champion(冠军)”. One day, there was a sports meeting at my school. Well-prepared for the running competition, I took part in all the races: the 400m, 200m, and 100m. A large number of people gathered to watch. The crowd was eager to see the running races because they were the most exciting events. When the 400m race started, all the boys ran fast. Unsurprisingly, I finished first and received a big round of applause(掌声). Although it was tiring, I felt proud and was on top of the world. In the 200m race, I ran at full speed and finished first once again. The crowd gave me thunderous applause. I jumped all over the place and even didn’t think it was necessary to shake hands with other racers. Then came the 100m race. Discouraged by the previous races, most boys gave up except one: a boy named Matt, who looked a little clumsy(笨拙的) but was a determined racer. The judge came to Matt and explained the situation, asking if he would like to give up too. Wild with joy, I thought I would win the championship without effort. However, to everyone’s surprise, Matt decided to finish the race. I sniffed(嗤之以鼻), “It’s a waste of time. I’m sure he doesn’t even know where the finish line is.” The race between the two of us began. On hearing the starting gun, both Matt and I ran toward the finish line. Soon I sped up and left Matt behind. Just 30 meters before reaching the finish line, I was expecting to receive applause for the third time when I suffered a leg spasm(抽筋). 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I fell hard to the ground. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With his help, I slowly stood up. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 株洲市四中高二12份阶段性测评卷 英语 满分：150分 考试时长：120分钟 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 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。每段对话读两遍。 1.

Online media platforms are springing up. And the lowly newspaper — and its reporters — are fighting money, tech, and distrust issues. Journalism students and teachers must emphasize new skills to keep their profession alive. A trustworthy press helps inform people and monitor all levels of government. That is essential to a nation. Yet this useful establishment is growing increasingly unpopular. According to the University of North Carolina (UNC), newsroom jobs across the country are fewer than half what they were 10 years ago. And on many college campuses, the news about the news is dismal too. Take the Syracuse, New York, student-run newspaper The Daily Orange: It isn’t daily anymore. The paper prints just three times each week. Next year, The Diamondback of the University of Maryland will be online only. Half the newspapers that still exist on paper say they don’t print as many copies. And UNC’s The Daily Tar Heel has cut staff pay and rented cheaper offices to make its budget. Considering the problems in journalism, it’s surprising that the enrollment (注册人数) in college journalism programs is up. The Daily Orange managing editor Catherine Leffert calls the layoffs and cutbacks disheartening. “But what keeps me wanting to be a journalist is seeing the effect that The Daily Orange has,” he says. But journalism educators wonder, “Are we preparing young people for a dying industry?” Years ago, journalism graduates took low-level reporter jobs at newspapers or television stations. That still happens. But today’s jobs more often involve digital editing, social media production, and video streaming. Some universities are taking action. The University of Florida offers a sports media program. Several schools highlight statistics-driven data journalism. The news isn’t all bad. Journalism professor Kathleen Culver says, “When I look at 18-and 20-year-olds in journalism and see what they want to do, I’m optimistic.” Maddy Arrowood is the student editor of The Daily Tar Heel. She says her experience makes her more interested in a journalism career, not less. Her optimism “comes from knowing that people still need news. They still need information.” 8. What does the underlined word “dismal” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Depressing. B. Funny. C. Inspiring. D. Useless. 9. How do some universities respond to today’s journalism? A. They decide to cut down on student enrollment. B. They provide students with specialized programs. C. They introduce students to low-level reporter jobs. D. They advise students to run their own newspapers. 10. Why is Maddy Arrowood mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To indicate the popularity of The Daily Tar Heel. B. To confirm people’s eagerness for the latest news. C. To show people’s negative attitudes to journalism. D. To prove the bright future of a career in journalism. 11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. What does journalism mean to you? B. Are journalists still influential today? C. Does journalism have a future? D. What is a journalist’s job now? 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了新闻业未来的发展与挑战。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。由第二段中“Yet this useful establishment is growing increasingly unpopular. According to the University of North Carolina (UNC), newsroom jobs across the country are fewer than half what they were 10 years ago. And on many college campuses, the news about the news is dismal too. (然而，这个有用的机构越来越不受欢迎。据北卡罗来那大学（UNC）报道，全国新闻编辑部的工作不到10年前的一半。在许多大学校园里，关于新闻的消息也dismal)”可知，新闻媒体越来越不受欢迎，从业人员也在减少，这一消息是令人沮丧的(Depressing)。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。由第五段中的“Some universities are taking action. The University of Florida offers a sports media program. Several schools highlight statistics-driven data journalism. (一些大学正在采取行动。佛罗里达大学提供体育媒体课程。几所学校强调统计驱动的数据新闻)”可知，大学给学生们提供了专门的课程。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。由最后一段中的“She says her experience makes her more interested in a journalism career, not less. Her optimism “comes from knowing that people still need news. They still need information.”(她说，她的经历让她对新闻事业更感兴趣，而不是更不感兴趣。她的乐观“来自于人们仍然需要新闻。他们仍然需要信息。”)”可知，玛迪·阿罗伍德说人们依旧会需要新闻和信息，可得出提到她的目的是为了说明“新闻事业的发展具有巨大的潜力，拥有光明的未来”。故选D项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文并由第一段“Today’s journalists face modern challenges. Online media platforms are springing up. And the lowly newspaper—and its reporters—are fighting money, tech, and distrust issues. Journalism students and teachers must emphasize new skills to keep their profession alive. (今天的记者面临着现代挑战。在线媒体平台如雨后春笋般涌现。而那些地位低下的报纸—―和它的记者们—―正在与金钱、技术和不信任问题作斗争。新闻专业的学生和教师必须强调新技能，以保持他们的职业生命力)”可知，整篇文章讲述了新闻业面临着的巨大挑战，能不能生存以及怎样生存是个问题。C项“新闻业还有未来吗?”符合题意，适合做标题。故选C项。 D Under the large thick areas of ice in Antarctica, there are hundreds of hidden lakes that play an important role in shaping Antarctica’s cold environment. These lakes affect how glaciers (冰川) move, which in turn can affect global sea levels. Scientists have recently discovered 85 new subglacial (冰川下的) lakes using some information from the European Space Agency’s CryoSat satellite, which has been observing the area for over ten years. This discovery increases the total number of known active subglacial lakes in Antarctica to 231. The study, published in Nature Communications, is important because these lakes drain (排水) and refill repeatedly, which makes it difficult to observe what happens deep under the ice. Sally Wilson, a researcher from the University of Leeds, explained that the challenge is that these lakes are under hundreds of meters of ice. “It is hard to observe the process of filling and draining, as it can take months or years. Before this study, only 36 complete cycles of filling and draining had been observed. Now, we have observed 12 more complete fill-drain events, bringing the total to 48,” she said. Satellites have been important in this discovery. CryoSat has been observing the thickness of polar ice and measuring changes in ice sheet heights over Greenland and Antarctica for over ten years. By checking the information from CryoSat, scientists could discern changes in the ice surface caused by the filling and draining of these subglacial lakes. Understanding these changes brings new hope for studying sea level rise. Now, models used to study sea level rise do not include the effects of subglacial lakes. This new research will help improve these models by offering more information on how water moves under Antarctica’s ice. “By mapping where and when these lakes are active, we can have a better understanding of future sea level rise in advance,” said Sally. 12. What does the author point out in the first paragraph? A. Antarctica’s thick ice areas are becoming smaller. B. Global warming puts subglacial lakes in danger. C. Subglacial lakes affect Antarctica’s environment. D. Rising sea levels strike the developing countries. 13. What does the author want to do in paragraph 4? A. Come up with new ideas about subglacial lakes. B. Describe the possible problems subglacial lakes bring. C. Raise a reasonable doubt about the appearance of subglacial lakes. D. Present a further explanation for the trouble of observing subglacial lakes. 14. What can we infer from the passage about the models studying sea level rise? A. They have been widely used to predict global climate change. B. They will be more accurate with the new research on subglacial lakes. C. They already include all the factors that influence sea level rise. D. They were developed by researchers from the University of Leeds. 15. What does Sally want to stress in the last paragraph? A. The role of Antarctica’s ice. B. The development of sea levels. C. The disadvantages of these models. D. The value of the study’s findings. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了南极洲冰川下湖泊的发现及研究意义。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Under the large thick areas of ice in Antarctica, there are hundreds of hidden lakes that play an important role in shaping Antarctica’s cold environment.(在南极洲那大片厚厚的冰层之下，存在着数百个隐秘的湖泊，这些湖泊在塑造南极洲寒冷环境方面发挥着重要作用)”可知，作者在第一段指出冰川下湖泊对南极洲的环境产生影响。故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Sally Wilson, a researcher from the University of Leeds, explained that the challenge is that these lakes are under hundreds of meters of ice. “It is hard to observe the process of filling and draining, as it can take months or years. Before this study, only 36 complete cycles of filling and draining had been observed. Now, we have observed 12 more complete fill-drain events, bringing the total to 48,” she said.( 来自利兹大学的研究员萨莉·威尔逊解释说，这些湖泊被数百米厚的冰层所覆盖，这带来了挑战。“要观察其蓄水和排水的过程非常困难，因为这一过程可能需要数月甚至数年的时间。在此次研究之前，总共只观察到了36次完整的蓄水和排水循环。而现在，我们又观察到了12次完整的蓄水和排水事件，使得总数达到了48次。”她说)”可推知，作者在第四段想进一步解释观察冰川下湖泊的困难。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Now, models used to study sea level rise do not include the effects of subglacial lakes. This new research will help improve these models by offering more information on how water moves under Antarctica’s ice.(目前用于研究海平面上升的模型并未将冰下湖泊的影响纳入考量。而这项新研究将为这些模型的改进提供更多信息，即关于南极洲冰层下水流情况的详细描述)”可知，有了关于冰下湖泊的新研究，海平面上升模型的预测将会更加准确。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“Understanding these changes brings new hope for studying sea level rise. Now, models used to study sea level rise do not include the effects of subglacial lakes.

Teens spend more than half of their waking hours online. They use some of that time to post pictures and create profiles on social media accounts. ____16____ Clicking on a thumbs-up or a heart icon is an easy way to stay in touch. ____17____ Some social media sites use those likes to determine how many people eventually see a post. One with many likes is more likely to be seen-and to get even more likes. What’s more, viewing posts with a lot of likes activates the reward system in our brain. ____18____ For example, posts related to alcohol may encourage teens to drink. That means that what you like online has the power to influence not just what others like, but even what they do. ____19____ And not always in a good way. For example, in one 2011 study, teens doing a driving task in a lab took more risks when their friends were around. Researchers also looked at the teens’ brains during this task. They saw activity in a part of the brain that’s involved in rewards, which suggests the teens were changing their behavior to try to get social approval. Joining social media can give people a sense of being in the know. But posts may exaggerate (夸大) how well our friends and others are feeling, making them appear much happier than we are. ____20____ A. It can also lower the viewer’s self-control. B. A popular post doesn’t necessarily mean it is a quality post. C. It’s no surprise: Feedback from peers affects how teens behave. D. Their brains respond to those likes by turning on the reward center. E. And that can, inappropriately, make us feel less successful than them. F. But those “likes” can have power that goes beyond a simple connection. G. Most of what they do is read and respond to posts by friends and family. 【答案】16. G 17. F 18. A 19. C 20. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是社交媒体是生活中的一部分及其对生活的影响。 【16题详解】 根据空前的“They use some of that time to post pictures and create profiles on social media accounts.(他们利用其中一些时间在社交媒体帐户上发布图片并创建个人资料。)”可知，此处讲述的是青少年们在社交媒体中所作的事情，G选项“Most of what they do is read and respond to posts by friends and family.(他们所做的大部分工作是阅读和回复朋友和家人的帖子。)”中所描述的也是青少年在社交媒体中所做的事情，其中的they指代与上文的teens一致。故选G项。 【17题详解】 根据空前的“Clicking on a thumbs-up or a heart icon is an easy way to stay in touch.(单击竖起大拇指或心形图标是保持联系的简单方法。)”可知，小红心或者大拇指是点赞的位置，空后的“Some social media sites use those likes to determine how many people eventually see a post.(一些社交媒体网站使用这些喜欢来确定有多少人最终看到帖子。)”可知，获赞的多少决定了有多少人关注帖子，由此可知，此空处讲述的内容与“点赞”相关，F选项“But those “likes” can have power that goes beyond a simple connection.(但这些“赞”可以拥有超越简单联系的力量。)”中的“those likes”内容与空前后内容吻合。故选F项。 【18题详解】 根据空前的“What’s more, viewing posts with a lot of likes activates the reward system in our brain.(更重要的是，查看有很多赞的帖子会激活我们大脑中的奖励系统。)”可知，浏览贴子会激活大脑中的奖励体系，根据空后的“For example, posts related to alcohol may encourage teens to drink.(例如，与酒精相关的帖子可能会鼓励青少年饮酒。)”可知，与酒精相关的帖子可能会鼓励青少年饮酒，由此可知，此空处的内容是看到的帖子对青少年的影响，A选项“It can also lower the viewer’s self-control.(它还可以降低观众的自制力。)”讲述的是浏览贴子对青少年的影响，其中的it指代的是上文中的viewing posts，also未结题关键词，且内容与空前后一致。故选A项。 【19题详解】 根据空后的“And not always in a good way. (而且并不总是以一种好的方式。)”以及下文中的举例“For example, in one 2011 study, teens doing a driving task in a lab took more risks when their friends were around.(例如，在2011年的一项研究中，当朋友在身边时，在实验室做驾驶任务的青少年会冒更多的风险。)”可知，本段讲述的是青少年朋友在身边的影响，而且影响不总是好的，C选项“It’s no surprise: Feedback from peers affects how teens behave.(这并不奇怪：来自同龄人的反馈会影响青少年的行为方式。)”讲述的是来自同龄人的反馈对青少年行为的影响，与空后内容衔接合理，且与举例说明的内容吻合。故选C项。 【20题详解】 根据空前的“But posts may exaggerate (夸大) how well our friends and others are feeling, making them appear much happier than we are.(但是帖子可能会夸大我们的朋友和其他人的感觉，使他们看起来比我们快乐得多。)”可知，帖子可能会使得他们看起来比我们更快乐，E选项“And that can, inappropriately, make us feel less successful than them.(这可能会不恰当地让我们觉得自己不如他们成功。)”中描述的内容与空前内容相对应，且其中的代词them以及us空前内容指代一致。故选E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，掌握大意，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。 Silvana Clark graduated from high school at the age of 18.

However 37. advisable 38. basically 39. written 40. are brought 41. enables 42. which 43. what 44. presenting 45. judgement 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章论述了阅读新闻的正确方法，指出同一事件的报道可能存在差异，建议读者核对消息来源、关注报道时间，批判性看待信息，从而对事件形成准确认知。 【36题详解】 考查副词。句意：我们依靠新闻了解周围世界正在发生的事情。然而，我们通常会发现关于同一事件的报道包含不同甚至相互矛盾的信息。前文表“依赖新闻”，后文表“报道有差异”，存在转折关系，且空格后有逗号，需用副词however，位于句首，首字母大写。故填However。 【37题详解】 考查形容词。句意：我们应该记住，新闻报道是由可能有不同优先事项的记者撰写的。固定句型It is advisable to do sth.意为“做某事是明智的”，此处用advise的形容词形式advisable“明智的”，作表语。故填advisable。 【38题详解】 考查副词。句意：即使新闻报道是从基本上相同的角度撰写的，它们在事实细节上仍可能相互矛盾。此处修饰形容词same，用basic的副词basically“基本上”，作状语。故填basically。 【39题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：在事件不同阶段撰写的新闻报道，可能会随着新事实的曝光而包含不同的信息。句子已有谓语动词could contain，此处用非谓语动词作后置定语，write与逻辑主语News reports是被动关系，需用过去分词形式。故填written。 【40题详解】 考查动词语态。句意：在事件不同阶段撰写的新闻报道，可能会随着新事实的曝光而包含不同的信息。主语new facts与动词bring是被动关系，且此处陈述客观情况，用一般现在时的被动语态，主语为复数，be动词用are。故填are brought。 【41题详解】 考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：因此，核对不同的消息来源能让我们得出更有依据的结论。此处陈述客观事实，用一般现在时；主语是动名词短语checking different sources，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故填enables。 【42题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：总而言之，明智的做法是阅读从不同角度、在不同阶段撰写的新闻报道，这能让我们对情况有更准确的理解。此处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是前面整个句子，关系词在从句中作主语，需用关系代词which。故填which。 【43题详解】 考查宾语从句。句意：我们还需要对收到的信息持批判态度，记住不要盲目相信读到的内容。空格处引导宾语从句，作动词trust的宾语，从句中缺少宾语，指代“读到的内容”，需用what。故填what。 【44题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：尽管记者致力于在报道中呈现真相，但最好还是运用自己的判断，而不是完全依赖新闻报道。固定搭配be committed to doing sth.意为“致力于做某事”，to是介词，后接动名词形式。故填presenting。 【45题详解】 考查名词。句意：尽管记者致力于在报道中呈现真相，但最好还是运用自己的判断，而不是完全依赖新闻报道。此处作动词use的宾语，且有形容词性物主代词our own修饰，需用名词形式，judge的名词为judgement。故填judgement。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 46. 你校近期发起“每日体育活动不少于2小时”的倡议，外教David希望了解学生对此的真实想法。假定你是学生李华，请给David写一封信，内容包括： 1、你的看法； 2、你理由； 3、你的建议。 注意：1. 词数100左右；2. 开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Dear David, I’m more than happy to share my thoughts on the “at least 2 hours of daily physical activity” initiative.

One day, there was a sports meeting at my school. Well-prepared for the running competition, I took part in all the races: the 400m, 200m, and 100m. A large number of people gathered to watch. The crowd was eager to see the running races because they were the most exciting events. When the 400m race started, all the boys ran fast. Unsurprisingly, I finished first and received a big round of applause(掌声). Although it was tiring, I felt proud and was on top of the world. In the 200m race, I ran at full speed and finished first once again. The crowd gave me thunderous applause. I jumped all over the place and even didn’t think it was necessary to shake hands with other racers. Then came the 100m race. Discouraged by the previous races, most boys gave up except one: a boy named Matt, who looked a little clumsy(笨拙的) but was a determined racer. The judge came to Matt and explained the situation, asking if he would like to give up too. Wild with joy, I thought I would win the championship without effort. However, to everyone’s surprise, Matt decided to finish the race. I sniffed(嗤之以鼻), “It’s a waste of time. I’m sure he doesn’t even know where the finish line is.” The race between the two of us began. On hearing the starting gun, both Matt and I ran toward the finish line. Soon I sped up and left Matt behind. Just 30 meters before reaching the finish line, I was expecting to receive applause for the third time when I suffered a leg spasm(抽筋). 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I fell hard to the ground. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With his help, I slowly stood up. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I fell hard to the ground. I tried to stand up, but there was a sharp pain in my leg. My dream of winning for the third time was over. The crowd’s cheers changed into shocked gasps. I felt my face burn with shame and frustration. Just moments ago, I was about to win; now I was lying helpless on the track, unable to move. To my surprise, Matt didn’t rush past. Instead, he stopped beside me with concern. “Are you okay? Let me help you.” He said as he reached out his hand. With his help, I slowly stood up. Leaning on his shoulder, I hopped painfully toward the finish line. My heart was filled with a mixture of gratitude and regret. The audience began to clap—not for a winner, but for two boys who supported each other and crossed the finish line together. That day, I realized that the heart of a true champion doesn’t lie in winning, but in kindness and sportsmanship. 【解析】 【导语】本文以时间为线索展开。作者是一名短跑选手，几乎可以赢得所参加过的每一次比赛，在同学中享受盛名，但是在一次比赛中，其他同学因为作者的实力感到气馁，都退出了比赛，只剩下一名叫马特的同学和作者比赛，作者一开始很是轻视，但是在比赛中作者的腿突然抽筋，在马特的帮助下走到了终点线，作者也终于明白什么才是真正的冠军。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我重重地摔倒在地。”可知，第一段可描写作者感到很难堪，这时马特伸出援手。 ②由第二段首句内容“在他的帮助下，我站了起来。”可知，第二段可描写作者和马特一起走向终点，作者非常羞愧又感激，也明白了什么才是真正的冠军。 2.续写线索：摔倒在地——羞愧难堪——伸出援手——一起走——鼓掌——道谢——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①站起来：stand up/get to one’s feet/rise to one’s feet ②冲过去：rush past/dash past/hurry past ③越过终点线：cross the finish line/get across the finish line 情绪类 ①令某人吃惊的是：to one’s surprise/to one’s astonishment ②沮丧：frustration/discouragement/dismay 【点睛】【高分句型1】He said as he reached out his hand.
