B About 20 years ago, while on the way to a student’s house, Zhang Guimei, then a rural teacher in Huaping county, Lijiang, Yunnan province, noticed a girl sitting on the hillside. The girl, 13, told Zhang she was about to get married though she wanted to go to school. It was arranged by her parents. Zhang went to her house and tried to persuade her parents to let the girl return to school and promised to pay for her tuition herself. However, they didn’t agree. Zhang felt sorry for not being able to help. “We always say that each child should stand on the same starting line, but these girls didn’t even have a chance to get on the track,” Zhang said. It persuaded Zhang to build a free high school for girls with the objective of helping break the cycle that saw women drop out of education, marry early and spend their whole life in the remote mountain. Zhang had spent years trying to raise funds, and in 2008, Huaping High School for Girls, a free public high school, was founded, where Zhang is the principal. Over the decades, Zhang has walked thousands of kilometers, visiting students’ families in the deep mountain, talking to villagers, and persuading girls to go back to school. It has been worth it. More than 1,800 graduates have been admitted to college. It is regarded as a “miracle” in the remote area, as most students didn’t perform well in academic study before the school was established. Though lacking full health, Zhang insists on a daily routine—get up around 5 a.m. to call students to get up with a loudspeaker, accompany students to classes and sleep after senior students’ study ends at midnight. Zhang’s husband died in the 1990s. She doesn’t have children or a house, so she lives at the student dormitory. Besides girls in her school, Zhang also donates all her income to help rural education and poor people. In early December, she was given the honor of the country’s “role model for teachers” and “outstanding woman”. Her commitment to her education career inspires thousands of people. 4 Why did Zhang feel sorry when the girl’s parents refused to let the girl return to school? A. The girl’s family was too poor to pay for her tuition fees. B. The girl had to marry a man who was much older than her. C. The girl didn’t even have the chance to complete her education. D. The girl was unable to find a high school nearby to continue her education. 5. What is probably the biggest challenge for Zhang to build the free school for girls? A. Not many girls want to attend this school. B. Few parents support their girls’ going to school. C. The local government didn’t offer the land for the school. D. It was not easy for Zhang to get enough money to build the school. 6. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Most students didn’t study well before Huaping High School for Girls was founded. B Huaping High School for Girls was founded. C. Many girls can go to Huaping High School for Girls for free. D. Many girls from Huaping High School for Girls have gone to college. 7. What is the main idea of this passage? A. A teacher shows girls how to reach the top. B. Let girls stand on the same starting line. C. Inspiring stories of girls’ education. D. Huaping High School for Girls. C No matter how you feel about it. AI is here. So, which types of jobs are most at risk? What’s the best way to stay relevant? According to a Goldman Sachs study, most jobs and industries are only partly exposed to automation and are thus more likely to be complemented (辅助) rather than replaced by AI So, which are the most endangered? Joc Apfelbaum, who teaches how to use AI through his course, says most at risk are jobs that use a process that can be done faster and cheaper with AI like forming products or filing tax returns. Shannan Monson, a founder and educator, says the outlook is not that negative. “We didn’t stop washing our dishes just because the dishwasher was invented. We simply get to do it faster, easier, and with less effort.” Paul Canetti, a professor at Columbia Business School, says that decision-makers and people managers are safe because AI can’t motivate or relate to humans. As AI develops, its application might not be as fast as we think. But those who are well-learned in it quickly are at more of an advantage. Canetti says there is going to be “a long period of transition (过渡期), where you can perform really well at your job by taking advantage of these new tools before the average person does.” Experts agree that clearly human skills will remain the most valuable. Humans are uniquely qualified there and human-to-human work is going to be hardest to replace. “Focus on building your skills as a team player and a team leader” Monson says. Apfelbaum argues that it’s not just about reskilling, but rather people need to get over their fears and get complete with who they are so they can show up with all their creativity since AI does not have passion and real human creativity. 8. What may be affected most by AI? A. Managing human resources. B. Reporting taxes. C. Selling new products. D. Making decisions. 9. What might Apfelbaum and Monson agree with? A. We can’t stop AI controlling our life. B. We needn’t overestimate AI’s impact. C. Adopting AI makes humans lazy. D. Employing Al in life is effortless. 10. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 5 refer to? A AI’s outlook. B. AI’s development. C. AI’s application. D. AI’s advantage. 11. Which is the best title for the passage? A. How to get over people’s fears on AI? B. How to explore human emotions AI affects? C. How to exhibit AI’s creativity in workplaces? D. How to stay relevant at work at the age of AI? D Processed foods like chips, sodas and frozen pizzas are full of salt, sugar, and fat. Now, scientists are trying to understand if there is something else about such foods that may be bad for humans. Scientists have already linked low-cost, packaged foods to rising obesity rates around the world. Obesity increases the risk of many health problems. Three recent studies offer more clues on how our increasingly industrialized food supply may be affecting our health. The researchers created a system that places foods into four groups. The system says highly processed foods are made mostly of industrialized materials and additives(添加剂). Sodas, packaged cookies, instant noodles and chicken nuggets(鸡肉块) are some examples of highly processed foods. But also included are products that can seem healthy, such as morning cereals, energy bars and some kinds of yogurt. Researchers conducted a four-week study involving 20 people. They found that people ate about 500 more calories a day when fed mostly processed foods. That is compared to when the same people were given less processed foods. The researchers permitted the 20 participants to eat as much or as little as they wanted. They were taken to a medical center so their health and behavior could be observed. In another study, researchers in France found people who ate more processed foods were more likely to have heart disease. A similar study in Spain linked eating more processed foods to a higher risk of death in general. When fed less processed foods, people in the study produced more of a hormone that controls hunger, and less of a hormone that causes hunger. The reason for the reaction is not clear. The scientists also found that people ate processed foods more quickly. Kevin Hall is one of the researchers who led the study. He said that processed foods were usually softer and easier to chew and swallow”. Hall noted the source of nutrients might make a difference. For example, fiber from fruit and vegetables may be better for making people feel full than fiber added to packaged foods such as energy bars and yogurt. Avoiding processed foods can be hard, especially for people with limited time and money. Processed foods can also take many forms. In addition, companies continually re-engineer products to make them seem healthier. The newest studies may provide more reasons to avoid processed foods. But, they also call attention to the difficulty of coming up with ways to do that. 12. What kind of food do energy bars belong to? A. Fairly health-friendly foods. B. Especially beneficial foods. C. Relatively high-cost foods. D. Highly processed foods. 13. What can we know about eating more processed foods in Paragraph 4? A. It does harm to people potentially. B. It can often result in death. C. It makes people get less calories. D. It makes little difference to people’s health. 14. What is more likely to make people feel full? A. Fiber added to packaged foods. B. Fiber from fruit and vegetables C. Highly processed foods like instant noodles. D. Foods made mostly of industrial materials and additives. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. Different Kinds of Processed Foods B. Recent Studies on Processed Foods C. How Bad Processed Foods Are! D. Advantages and Disadvantages of Processed Foods 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。 What do the world’s most successful people all have in common?

One day, on their way back home from school, they rode slowly, talking about the fishing trip that they had planned for the coming summer vacation. While turning a corner, Andy cried out, “A fight near the lake! Let’s go to watch!” “No,” said Eric. “Let’s go home and not get involved in their quarrel. Stay away from it, or we may get into trouble. What’s more, our parents are waiting for us at home and I don’t want them to worry about me.” “You are a coward (胆小鬼).” Andy laughed at him. Eric was a little annoyed, but he didn’t say anything, just riding home directly. The next day, he went to school as usual. However, Andy had told all the class that Eric was too timid to do anything brave. So the whole class laughed at him a lot. And from then on, they looked down on Eric, unwilling to play with him. Eric was very sad but he didn’t blame Andy for his being rude to him, because he learned that true courage is shown most in bearing misunderstanding when it was not deserved, and that he ought to be afraid of nothing but doing wrong. Therefore, he ignored their teasing, studying even harder. What was different was that he had to go home alone. Several days later, Andy together with his new friends was riding home. They were so absorbed in their conversation that they were unaware of everything else around them. Suddenly, Andy noticed an unusual buzz of noise. He came to a stop and looked curiously up to the heavens. What he saw shocked and terrified him. A huge swarm of bees filled the sky like a black cloud and the noisy mass seemed to be heading angrily towards them. “Bees!” someone shouted. The boys were caught in great panic. All of them except Andy rode as fast as possible to escape. Andy was too scared to move. 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。 Andy stopped there with the buzz louder and louder. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Dragging themselves out of the lake, they struggled up to the shore. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 秦皇岛市实验中学 2025-2026 学年度第一学期月考 高二年级英语试题 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。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.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了《新科学家》举办的大思想家系列活动的四场在线讲座。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Save (节省) £20 off the standard (标准的) ticket price by buying a series ticket to the four talks in the Big Thinkers Series or buy a single ticket for just £13 per talk.(购买系列套票可享立减20英镑优惠（对比单场标准票价），或以每场13英镑的价格购买单场讲座门票)”可知,单场的票价是13英镑，购买一整个系列可以节约20英镑，因此买一个系列的票价为：4✖13-20=等于32(英镑)。故选D项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据A brief history of timekeeping with Chad Orzel部分的“From Stonehenge to atomic clocks, here is the 5,000-year history of how science is used to mark time. Chad Orzel, the internationally best-selling author of How to Teach Quantum Physics to Your Dog, offers us a witty journey through scientific theory and quirky (离奇的) historical detail.(从巨石阵到原子钟，畅销全球的《如何向爱犬解释量子物理》作者Chad Orzel，将以诙谐视角带领观众穿越五千年计时史，融汇科学理论与奇趣历史细节)”可知，Chad Orzel的讲座是关于时间标记的历史。故选C项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“If you are curious about your planet (星球) or your universe, then this series is your place to hear the latest research.(如果你对所处星球或浩瀚宇宙充满好奇，本系列讲座将为你带来最前沿的研究分享)”可知，这四个讲座的共同之处是它们都是针对科学爱好者的。故选A项。 B About 20 years ago, while on the way to a student’s house, Zhang Guimei, then a rural teacher in Huaping county, Lijiang, Yunnan province, noticed a girl sitting on the hillside. The girl, 13, told Zhang she was about to get married though she wanted to go to school. It was arranged by her parents. Zhang went to her house and tried to persuade her parents to let the girl return to school and promised to pay for her tuition herself. However, they didn’t agree. Zhang felt sorry for not being able to help. “We always say that each child should stand on the same starting line, but these girls didn’t even have a chance to get on the track,” Zhang said. It persuaded Zhang to build a free high school for girls with the objective of helping break the cycle that saw women drop out of education, marry early and spend their whole life in the remote mountain. Zhang had spent years trying to raise funds, and in 2008, Huaping High School for Girls, a free public high school, was founded, where Zhang is the principal. Over the decades, Zhang has walked thousands of kilometers, visiting students’ families in the deep mountain, talking to villagers, and persuading girls to go back to school. It has been worth it. More than 1,800 graduates have been admitted to college. It is regarded as a “miracle” in the remote area, as most students didn’t perform well in academic study before the school was established. Though lacking full health, Zhang insists on a daily routine—get up around 5 a.m. to call students to get up with a loudspeaker, accompany students to classes and sleep after senior students’ study ends at midnight. Zhang’s husband died in the 1990s. She doesn’t have children or a house, so she lives at the student dormitory. Besides girls in her school, Zhang also donates all her income to help rural education and poor people. In early December, she was given the honor of the country’s “role model for teachers” and “outstanding woman”. Her commitment to her education career inspires thousands of people. 4. Why did Zhang feel sorry when the girl’s parents refused to let the girl return to school? A. The girl’s family was too poor to pay for her tuition fees. B. The girl had to marry a man who was much older than her. C. The girl didn’t even have the chance to complete her education. D. The girl was unable to find a high school nearby to continue her education. 5. What is probably the biggest challenge for Zhang to build the free school for girls? A. Not many girls want to attend this school. B. Few parents support their girls’ going to school. C. The local government didn’t offer the land for the school. D. It was not easy for Zhang to get enough money to build the school. 6. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Most students didn’t study well before Huaping High School for Girls was founded. B. Huaping High School for Girls was founded. C. Many girls can go to Huaping High School for Girls for free. D. Many girls from Huaping High School for Girls have gone to college. 7. What is the main idea of this passage? A. A teacher shows girls how to reach the top. B. Let girls stand on the same starting line. C. Inspiring stories of girls’ education. D. Huaping High School for Girls. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了农村教师张桂梅在一个辍学女生的启发下，花费了多年努力，创办了免费公立高中华坪女子高级中学，旨在帮助打破女性辍学、早婚和在偏远山区度过一生的恶性循环。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据题干可定位到第二段第三、四句“Zhang felt sorry for not being able to help. ‘We always say that each child should stand on the same starting line, but these girls didn’t even have a chance to get on the track,’ Zhang said.(张为没能帮上忙而感到遗憾。张说：“我们总是说每个孩子都应该站在同一条起跑线上，但这些女孩甚至没有机会登上赛道。”)”可知，张桂梅在劝说女孩的父母，让他们的孩子返回学校继续上学，所以get on the track在此处比喻有受教育的机会。因此，张桂梅感到难过的原因是这个女孩甚至没有机会完成她的教育。故选C。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。第一、二段中提到了一个女孩辍学，并且其父母反对她继续上学；再根据第三段第三句“Over the decades, Zhang has walked thousands of kilometers, visiting students’ families in the deep mountain, talking to villagers, and persuading girls to go back to school.(在数十年间，张桂梅步行数千公里，走访深山里学生的家庭，与村民交谈，说服女孩儿们回到学校。)”可以推断出，张桂梅办免费的女子高中最大的挑战应该是很少有父母支持他们的女儿上学。故选B。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段的“More than 1,800 graduates have been admitted to college.It is regarded as a “miracle” in the remote area, as most students didn’t perform well in academic study before the school was established.(1800多名毕业生被大学录取。它被认为是偏远地区的“奇迹”，因为在学校成立之前，大多数学生在学业上都表现不佳。)”可知，It指代上一句“More than 1,800 graduates have been admitted to college.(超过1,800名毕业生被大学录取。)”所讲述的事情，这件事在这个偏远的地区被认为是一个奇迹，因为在这所学校建立之前，大多数学生的学习成绩并不好。因此It指的就是“来自华坪女子高级中学的很多女孩上了大学”这件事。故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章的前两段讲述了一个女孩辍学，张桂梅劝其父母让其重返学校，但是没有成功，然后张桂梅认为每个孩子都应该站在同一起跑线上接受教育；第三段讲述了她受此事启发创办了免费高中并努力帮助女孩上学；第四段讲述了她在校所做的事；最后一段讲述了她获得的荣誉以及她产生的影响。由此可推测出，张桂梅所做的所有事的初衷都是要让女孩儿们站在教育的同一起跑线上，B项“让女孩们站在同一起跑线上。”符合题意。故选B。 C No matter how you feel about it. AI is here. So, which types of jobs are most at risk? What’s the best way to stay relevant? According to a Goldman Sachs study, most jobs and industries are only partly exposed to automation and are thus more likely to be complemented (辅助) rather than replaced by AI So, which are the most endangered? Joc Apfelbaum, who teaches how to use AI through his course, says most at risk are jobs that use a process that can be done faster and cheaper with AI like forming products or filing tax returns. Shannan Monson a founder and educator, says the outlook is not that negative. “We didn’t stop washing our dishes just because the dishwasher was invented. We simply get to do it faster, easier, and with less effort.” Paul Canetti, a professor at Columbia Business School, says that decision-makers and people managers are safe because AI can’t motivate or relate to humans. As AI develops, its application might not be as fast as we think. But those who are well-learned in it quickly are at more of an advantage. Canetti says there is going to be “a long period of transition (过渡期), where you can perform really well at your job by taking advantage of these new tools before the average person does.” Experts agree that clearly human skills will remain the most valuable. Humans are uniquely qualified there and human-to-human work is going to be hardest to replace. “Focus on building your skills as a team player and a team leader” Monson says. Apfelbaum argues that it’s not just about reskilling, but rather people need to get over their fears and get complete with who they are so they can show up with all their creativity since AI does not have passion and real human creativity. 8. What may be affected most by AI? A. Managing human resources. B. Reporting taxes. C. Selling new products. D. Making decisions. 9. What might Apfelbaum and Monson agree with? A. We can’t stop AI controlling our life. B. We needn’t overestimate AI’s impact. C. Adopting AI makes humans lazy. D. Employing Al in life is effortless. 10. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 5 refer to? A. AI’s outlook. B. AI’s development. C. AI’s application. D. AI’s advantage. 11. Which is the best title for the passage? A. How to get over people’s fears on AI? B. How to explore human emotions AI affects? C. How to exhibit AI’s creativity in workplaces? D. How to stay relevant at work at the age of AI? 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了人工智能(AI)的发展对工作的影响，以及人们应如何适应这一变化以保持在职场中的相关性。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Joc Apfelbaum, who teaches how to use AI through his course, says most at risk are jobs that use a process that can be done faster and cheaper with AI like forming products or filing tax returns.(Joc Apfelbaum在他的课程中教授如何使用人工智能，他说，最危险的工作是那些使用人工智能可以更快、更便宜地完成的过程，比如制造产品或申报税款)”可知，申报税款这类工作最有可能受到人工智能的影响。故选B项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Joc Apfelbaum, who teaches how to use AI through his course, says most at risk are jobs that use a process that can be done faster and cheaper with AI like forming products or filing tax returns.(Joc Apfelbaum在他的课程中教授如何使用人工智能，他说，最危险的工作是那些使用人工智能可以更快、更便宜地完成的过程，比如制造产品或申报税款)”可知，Apfelbaum认为最受影响的是那些可以被人工智能更快更便宜地完成的工作，但并没有说人工智能会完全取代所有工作；根据第四段中“Shannan Monson, a founder and educator, says the outlook is not that negative. ‘We didn’t stop washing our dishes just because the dishwasher was invented. We simply get to do it faster, easier, and with less effort.’(创始人兼教育家Shannan Monson表示，前景并没有那么糟糕。“洗碗机发明后，我们并没有停止洗碗。我们只是洗得更快、更容易，而且省力。”)”可知，Monson认为前景并没有那么糟糕，人工智能不会完全代替人类工作。由此可推知，Apfelbaum和Monson都认为我们不必过分高估人工智能的影响。故选B项。 10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据指代关系和划线词所在句“As AI develops, its application might not be as fast as we think. But those who are well-learned in it quickly are at more of an advantage.(随着人工智能的发展，它的应用可能不像我们想象的那么快。但那些迅速精通它的人更有优势)”可知，指示代词it指代的是前文提到的“its application”，即“人工智能的应用”。故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段“No matter how you feel about it. AI is here. So, which types of jobs are most at risk? What’s the best way to stay relevant?(无论你对此有何感想。人工智能已经来了。那么，哪些类型的工作最危险?保持与时俱进的最佳方式是什么?)”和最后一段“Experts agree that clearly human skills will remain the most valuable. Humans are uniquely qualified there and human-to-human work is going to be hardest to replace. ‘Focus on building your skills as a team player and a team leader’ Monson says. Apfelbaum argues that it’s not just about reskilling, but rather people need to get over their fears and get complete with who they are so they can show up with all their creativity since AI does not have passion and real human creativity.(专家们一致认为，显然，人类的技能将仍然是最有价值的。人类在这方面具有独特的资格，人与人之间的工作将是最难取代的。Monson说：“专注于培养你作为团队成员和团队领导的技能。”Apfelbaum认为，这不仅仅是重新技能的问题，而是人们需要克服恐惧，接受真实的自己，这样他们才能展现出所有的创造力，因为人工智能没有激情和真正的人类创造力)”可知，文章主要讲述了在人工智能时代，人们应如何保持在职场中与时俱进。故D项“How to stay relevant at work at the age of AI?(在人工智能时代，如何在工作中与时俱进？)”是文章内容的概括，最适合作文章标题。故选D项。 D Processed foods like chips, sodas and frozen pizzas are full of salt, sugar, and fat. Now, scientists are trying to understand if there is something else about such foods that may be bad for humans. Scientists have already linked low-cost, packaged foods to rising obesity rates around the world. Obesity increases the risk of many health problems. Three recent studies offer more clues on how our increasingly industrialized food supply may be affecting our health. The researchers created a system that places foods into four groups. The system says highly processed foods are made mostly of industrialized materials and additives(添加剂). Sodas, packaged cookies, instant noodles and chicken nuggets(鸡肉块) are some examples of highly processed foods. But also included are products that can seem healthy, such as morning cereals, energy bars and some kinds of yogurt. Researchers conducted a four-week study involving 20 people. They found that people ate about 500 more calories a day when fed mostly processed foods. That is compared to when the same people were given less processed foods. The researchers permitted the 20 participants to eat as much or as little as they wanted. They were taken to a medical center so their health and behavior could be observed. In another study, researchers in France found people who ate more processed foods were more likely to have heart disease. A similar study in Spain linked eating more processed foods to a higher risk of death in general. When fed less processed foods, people in the study produced more of a hormone that controls hunger, and less of a hormone that causes hunger. The reason for the reaction is not clear. The scientists also found that people ate processed foods more quickly. Kevin Hall is one of the researchers who led the study. He said that processed foods were usually softer and easier to chew and swallow”. Hall noted the source of nutrients might make a difference. For example, fiber from fruit and vegetables may be better for making people feel full than fiber added to packaged foods such as energy bars and yogurt. Avoiding processed foods can be hard, especially for people with limited time and money. Processed foods can also take many forms. In addition, companies continually re-engineer products to make them seem healthier. The newest studies may provide more reasons to avoid processed foods. But, they also call attention to the difficulty of coming up with ways to do that. 12. What kind of food do energy bars belong to? A. Fairly health-friendly foods. B. Especially beneficial foods. C. Relatively high-cost foods. D. Highly processed foods. 13. What can we know about eating more processed foods in Paragraph 4? A. It does harm to people potentially. B. It can often result in death. C. It makes people get less calories. D. It makes little difference to people’s health. 14. What is more likely to make people feel full? A. Fiber added to packaged foods. B. Fiber from fruit and vegetables C. Highly processed foods like instant noodles. D. Foods made mostly of industrial materials and additives. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. Different Kinds of Processed Foods B. Recent Studies on Processed Foods C. How Bad Processed Foods Are! D. Advantages and Disadvantages of Processed Foods 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了被加工过的食品给人们的健康带来的害处。同时，文章还指出人们要避免这种食品还存在一定的困难。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Sodas, packaged cookies, instant noodles and chicken nuggets(鸡肉块)are some examples of highly processed foods. But also included are products that can seem healthy, such as morning cereals, energy bars and some kinds of yogurt.(苏打水、包装饼干、方便面和鸡块都是高度加工食品。但也包括一些看起来健康的产品，如早餐麦片、能量棒和某些种类的酸奶。)”可知，能量棒虽然看上去好像是健康的，但也属于被高度加工过的食品。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“In another study, researchers in France found people who ate more processed foods were more likely to have heart disease. A similar study in Spain linked eating more processed foods to a higher risk of death in general.(在另一项研究中，法国的研究人员发现，吃更多加工食品的人更容易患心脏病。西班牙的一项类似研究表明，一般来说，吃更多加工食品会导致更高的死亡风险。)”可知，吃更多的被加工过的食品对人们的健康是有潜在的危害的。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“For example, fiber from fruit and vegetables may be better for making people feel full than fiber added to packaged foods such as energy bars and yogurt.(例如，水果和蔬菜中的纤维可能比添加到袋装食品(如能量棒和酸奶)中的纤维更能让人产生饱腹感。)”可知，水果和蔬菜中的纤维素比添加到能量棒和酸奶等包装食品中的纤维素更能让人感到饱。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Processed foods like chips, sodas and frozen pizzas are full of salt, sugar, and fat. Now, scientists are trying to understand if there is something else about such foods that may be bad for humans. 像薯片、苏打水和冷冻披萨这样的加工食品含有大量的盐、糖和脂肪。现在，科学家们正在试图了解这些食物是否还有其他可能对人类有害的地方。)”可知，本文主要介绍了被加工过的食品给人们的健康带来的害处，因此C项“How Bad Processed Foods Are!(加工食品是多么糟糕！)”作为本文标题最为恰当。故选C。 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。 What do the world’s most successful people all have in common? The researchers found that high achievers turn out to be all alike: Busy! Busy! ____16____John Kotter reported that many of them worked 60 to 65 hours per week, which translates into at least six 10-hour days. The ability and willingness to work difficult and tiring hours has characterized many powerful figures. Energy and strength provide many advantages to those seeking to build power. Just Say No! The difference between successful people and very successful people is that very successful people say “no” to almost everything. And that’s what gives them the time to accomplish so much. ____17____And focus means saying “no” to a lot of distractions (分神). Know What You Are! Ignore your weakness and keep improving your strengths. Don’t waste time exploring skill areas where you have little competence. Instead focus on and build on your strengths. ____18____ Good Luck! Luck is not magical, there is a science to it. Richard Wiseman studied lucky people for his book Luck Factor, and broke down what they do right.____19____By being more outgoing, open to new ideas, following the feeling that something is true, being optimistic, lucky people create possibilities. Does applying these principles to your life actually work? Wiseman created a “luck school” to test the ideas and it was a success. In total, 80 percent of people who attended Luck School said that their luck had increased. ____20____ A. Spend enough time to improve your weakness. B. Achievement requires focus. C. On average, their luck had increased by more than 40 percent. D. They never stop working and they never lose a minute. E. Busy people are more likely to be lucky. F. This means knowing who you are, what you are and what you are good at. G. Certain personality types are luckier. 【答案】16. D 17. B 18. F 19. G 20. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了成功人士身上存在的三个共同特点。 【16题详解】 根据下文“John Kotter reported that many of them worked 60 to 65 hours per week, which translates into at least six 10-hour days. (John Kotter报道他们中的许多人每周工作60到65个小时，这意味着至少有六个10小时的工作日)”可知很多成功人士每周工作60-65小时，一天至少工作10小时，说明他们几乎一直在工作，从不懈怠。D项“They never stop working and they never lose a minute.(他们从不停止工作，从不浪费一分钟。)”符合语境，故选D项。 【17题详解】 根据下文“And focus means saying “no” to a lot of distractions (分神).(专注意味着对很多分心的事情说“不”。)”可知专注就是拒绝很多分神的事情，也就是说要聚焦于自己要做的事情。所以B项“Achievement requires focus.(成就需要专注)”符合语境，故选B项。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Ignore your weakness and keep improving your strengths. Don’t waste time exploring skill areas where you have little competence. Instead focus on and build on your strengths (忽略自身的不足，持续提升自身的优势。不要浪费时间去钻研那些自己能力欠缺的技能领域。相反，应专注于并强化自己的优势领域。)”可知，本段建议忽略自己的弱点并不断提升自己的优势。也就是说成功人士对自己有清楚的了解，与F项“This means knowing who you are, what you are and what you are good at. (这意味着要清楚自己是谁、自己具备什么能力以及自己擅长什么。)”表达的含义一致，故选F项。 【19题详解】 根据下文“By being more outgoing, open to new ideas, following the feeling that something is true, being optimistic, lucky people create possibilities. (由于幸运之人性格更为外向，乐于接受新观念，相信内心所感知到的事物是真实的，并且心态乐观，所以他们能够创造出各种可能性。)”可知运气与性格有关，G项“Certain personality types are luckier. (某些性格类型的人更幸运。)”符合语境，引出下文的解释，下文的they呼应选项中的“Certain personality types”。故选G项。 【20题详解】 根据上文“In total, 80 percent of people who attended Luck School said that their luck had increased.(总的来说，Luck School80%的学生表示他们的运气有所提高。)”可知进入幸运学校的很多人通过个人努力最后都取得了很好的运气，C项“On average, their luck had increased by more than40 percent.(平均而言，这些人的运气增加了40%以上)”表达的含义与前文一致，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。 My grandfather was a famous and respected person in our hometown because he was experienced in treating patients with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).

One day, on their way back home from school, they rode slowly, talking about the fishing trip that they had planned for the coming summer vacation. While turning a corner, Andy cried out, “A fight near the lake! Let’s go to watch!” “No,” said Eric. “Let’s go home and not get involved in their quarrel. Stay away from it, or we may get into trouble. What’s more, our parents are waiting for us at home and I don’t want them to worry about me.” “You are a coward (胆小鬼).” Andy laughed at him. Eric was a little annoyed, but he didn’t say anything, just riding home directly. The next day, he went to school as usual. However, Andy had told all the class that Eric was too timid to do anything brave. So the whole class laughed at him a lot. And from then on, they looked down on Eric, unwilling to play with him. Eric was very sad but he didn’t blame Andy for his being rude to him, because he learned that true courage is shown most in bearing misunderstanding when it was not deserved, and that he ought to be afraid of nothing but doing wrong. Therefore, he ignored their teasing, studying even harder. What was different was that he had to go home alone. Several days later, Andy together with his new friends was riding home. They were so absorbed in their conversation that they were unaware of everything else around them. Suddenly, Andy noticed an unusual buzz of noise. He came to a stop and looked curiously up to the heavens. What he saw shocked and terrified him. A huge swarm of bees filled the sky like a black cloud and the noisy mass seemed to be heading angrily towards them. “Bees!” someone shouted. The boys were caught in great panic. All of them except Andy rode as fast as possible to escape. Andy was too scared to move. 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。 Andy stopped there, with the buzz louder and louder. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Dragging themselves out of the lake, they struggled up to the shore. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Andy stopped there, with the buzz louder and louder. Just at that moment, Eric rode rapidly towards him like an arrow. He stopped, threw off his clothes and wrapped up their faces. After that, he shouted to Andy, “This way! There is a lake ahead!” With no time to waste, they rode furiously in the direction of the lake, the crazy bees following them. Finally, they made it to the lake. Off their bikes and into the cool water they lived, disappearing below the surface and away from the savage insects. After holding their breath for as long as they could, they came up for air and noticed the bees had gone. Dragging themselves out of the lake, they struggled up to the shore. Andy looked at Eric gratefully and was ashamed of having called Eric a coward. He realized that Eric had true courage. He hugged Eric, saying “sorry” to Eric repeatedly for his rude behavior and asked for his forgiveness. Eric forgave him happily. He and Andy were friends again and they went home together as usual. From that, Andy learned what true courage was: never be afraid to do good, but always fear to do evil. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了原本放学一起回家的好朋友Andy和Eric在一次放学回家时，因一件小事Andy嘲笑Eric胆小，并在第二天告诉了全班同学，面对同学们的嘲笑和孤立，Eric并不理睬，只是努力学习并且放学后独自回家，一次Andy和他的新朋友们在回家的路上遭遇蜂群袭击，其他人都逃跑了，Andy被吓得不敢动。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Andy停在那里，嗡嗡声越来越大。”可知，第一段可描写Andy被蜂群围困，Eric不顾危险挺身相救。 ②由第二段首句内容“他们挣扎着从湖里爬出来，向岸边爬去。”可知，第二段可描写被救的Andy意识到自己的无礼，向Eric道歉，两人重归于好，Andy明白了什么是真正的勇气。 2.续写线索： Eric出现驱赶蜜蜂——两人跳进湖里躲避蜂群——得救——道歉——重归于好——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①大喊：shout/cry ②拥抱：hug/embrace ③为……而道歉：say “sorry” for…/apologize for… 情绪类 ①.感激：gratefully/thankfully ②高兴：happily/delightedly 【点睛】[高分句型1].
