Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain. However, when it works, it is simply beautiful. I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown. She had found a young owl(猫头鹰) on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl. It had already been placed in a carrier for safety. I examined the chick(雏鸟) and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree. The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down. Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent. I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring. A nervous night to be sure, but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings. I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active. And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all — LUNCH! The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so. 4. What is unavoidable in the author’s rescue work according to paragraph 1? A. Efforts made in vain. B. Getting injured in his work. C. Feeling uncertain about his future. D. Creatures forced out of their homes. 5. Why was the author called to Muttontown? A. To rescue a woman. B. To take care of a woman. C. To look at a baby owl. D. To cure a young owl. 6. What made the chick calm down? A. A new nest. B. Some food. C. A recording. D. Its parents. 7. How would the author feel about the outcome of the event? A It’s unexpected. B. It’s beautiful. C It’s humorous. D. It’s discouraging. C During my summer exchange program in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, I experienced a series of awkward yet enlightening moments caused by cultural differences in body language. On my first day, my host family greeted me with overwhelming warmth. When the father, Carlos, approached me with a strong embrace and kissed both my cheeks, I instinctively stepped back, my body stiff with surprise. In my culture, such intimate (亲密的) gestures are reserved for close friends or family, not offered to strangers upon first meeting. I noticed a flicker of confusion on his face, which immediately made me regret my reaction. The following day, I joined some local students at a café. Everyone was friendly, and the conversation flowed. At one point, a girl named Ana described her plan for the weekend and made the “OK” hand gesture, forming a circle with her thumb and index finger. I smiled and returned the same sign, assuming it meant agreement or approval. To my surprise, she looked startled and quickly lowered her hand. Later, a friend gently explained that in Brazil, that particular gesture is considered rude and offensive (冒犯的), similar to raising a middle finger in some other cultures. I felt my face burn with embarrassment. Another incident happened during a group discussion. I maintained steady eye contact to show that I was attentive and sincere. However, I noticed that my Brazilian counterparts frequently glanced away instead of holding my gaze. It felt as if they were disinterested or distracted (分心的). Afterwards, my host sister told me that in her culture, prolonged eye contact, especially in casual conversations, can be perceived (理解) as confrontational or even aggressive. They prefer softer and shorter eye contact to show respect and maintain harmony. These experiences made me realize how easily nonverbal signals can be misread across cultures. I had assumed that my own habits were universal, but I was unintentionally causing confusion. Since then, I have made an effort to observe and learn the local customs of any country I visit. Understanding body language is just as important as learning the language itself when it comes to truly connecting with people from different backgrounds. 8. How did the author react when the host father greeted him with a hug and a kiss? A. He responded with the same gesture. B. He stepped back nervously. C. He shook hands instead. D. He ignored the greeting. 9. The underlined word “confrontational” in the fourth paragraph most likely means ________. A. friendly and warm B. likely to cause argument C. full of respect D. shy and nervous 10. Why did the author feel embarrassed after making the “OK” gesture? A. Because it meant something negative in Brazil. B. Because he didn’t say thank you. C. Because the girl didn’t understand him. D. Because he made the gesture incorrectly. 11. What is the main purpose of this passage? A. To introduce Brazilian culture and customs. B. To explain how to avoid body language mistakes. C. To describe the author’s unforgettable travel experience. D. To show the importance of understanding cultural differences in body language. D American billionaire Elon Musk has demonstrated a technology designed to use a computer chip inside the head to control the brain. During a video demonstration on Friday, Musk provided details about the system, called Neuralink. Musk says he hopes the technology can be used to treat neural disorders and help spinal injury victims regain body movement. Musk also believes the system could be used in the future to improve intelligence to help humans keep up with supercomputers and artificial intelligence (AI) technology. During the show, Musk showed off a model of the Neuralink device. It is about 23 millimeters wide. It is designed to be implanted into a person's skull. Small wires would connect the device directly to the brain. The Neuralink system is currently being tested in pigs, with plans to seek government approval for human testing sometime in the future. A pig named Gertrude was also shown during the show. Musk explained that Gertrude had a Neuralink chip inside its head. The device is meant to record nerve activity in the pig's nose and mouth. Musk said the company had three pigs, each with two chips. He described the animals as "healthy, happy and indistinguishable from a normal pig." Musk said the company was able to predict with "high accuracy" a pig's leg movement on a running machine using data from the chip. Musk noted that Neuralink first wants to use the device on people with severe spinal cord injuries to help them talk and move using their brain waves. He said he is hopeful that, in the long term, those people could regain "full-body motion." Some neuroscientists not linked to the company said the presentation suggested Neuralink had made great progress with the technology. However, they warned that many more studies will be needed to test the long-term success of such devices. 12 What good can the Neuralink device do to the disabled? A. Making them think clearly. B. Treating their diseases successfully. C. Having them keep up with supercomputers. D. Helping them to move again. 13. Which can best describe the pigs with a Neuralink inside their heads? A. Normal. B. Active. C. Nervous. D. Intelligent. 14. What do some neuroscientists think of Neuralink? A. it has been a great success. B. it will succeed very soon. C. it has a long way to go. D. It needs support from new theories. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. There Will Be Great Progress in Brain Science. B. Musk Shows Technology Linking Computer to Brain. C. Three Pigs Are being Tested Instead of Human Beings. D. The Disabled Will Receive Better Treatment in the future. 第一节（共5小题：每小题15分，满分7.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项有两项为多余选项。 How to Take Notes from a Textbook Be selective.

Students from seven different primary schools in and around the small town were warming up and walking the route(路线)through thick evergreen forest. I looked around and finally spotted David, who was standing by himself off to the side by a fence. He was small for ten years old. His usual big toothy smile was absent today. I walked over and asked him why he wasn’t with the other children. He hesitated and then said he had decided not to run. What was wrong? He had worked so hard for this event! I quickly searched the crowd for the school’s coach and asked him what had happened. “I was afraid that kids from other schools would laugh at him,” he explained uncomfortably. “I gave him the choice to run or not, and let him decide.” I bit back my frustration(懊恼). I knew the coach meant well—he thought he was doing the right thing. After making sure that David could run if he wanted, I turned to find him coming towards me, his small body rocking from side to side as he swung his feet forward. David had a brain disease which prevented him from walking or running like other children, but at school his classmates thought of him as a regular kid. He always participated to the best of his ability in whatever they were doing. That was why none of the children thought it unusual that David had decided to join the cross-country team. It just took him longer—that’s all. David had not missed a single practice, and although he always finished his run long after the other children, he did always finish. As a special education teacher at the school, I was familiar with the challenges David faced and was proud of his strong determination. 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. We sat down next to each other, but David wouldn’t look at me. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I watched as David moved up to the starting line with the other runners. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 西安中学2025-2026学年度第一学期期末考试 高一英语试题 （时间：120分钟 满分：100分） 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分20分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1分，满分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.

Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain. However, when it works, it is simply beautiful. I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown. She had found a young owl(猫头鹰) on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl. It had already been placed in a carrier for safety. I examined the chick(雏鸟) and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree. The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down. Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent. I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring. A nervous night to be sure, but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings. I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active. And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all — LUNCH! The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so. 4. What is unavoidable in the author’s rescue work according to paragraph 1? A. Efforts made in vain. B. Getting injured in his work. C. Feeling uncertain about his future. D. Creatures forced out of their homes. 5. Why was the author called to Muttontown? A. To rescue a woman. B. To take care of a woman. C. To look at a baby owl. D. To cure a young owl. 6. What made the chick calm down? A. A new nest. B. Some food. C. A recording. D. Its parents. 7. How would the author feel about the outcome of the event? A. It’s unexpected. B. It’s beautiful. C It’s humorous. D. It’s discouraging. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。本文主要介绍了作者救助一只小猫头鹰，给它做新的窝，帮助它回到父母身边的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain.可知，救助受伤动物是令人心碎的，因为不知道救助的动物是否能活下去，也就是为救助动物而花费的努力可能会白费，这是不可避免的。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的She had found a young owl(猫头鹰) on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl可知，有人给作者打电话是因为有只小猫头鹰掉在地上了，作者赶过去看看情况。文中并没有说小猫头鹰受伤了，作者只是过去看情况，所以D选项错误。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段中的I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down可知，在作者把小猫头鹰放在窝里之后，它很快就安静下来，所以是窝让小猫头鹰安静下来的。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据前文描述可知，作者为小猫头鹰做了窝，并且帮助它找回了它的父母。小猫头鹰的父母还为它带回了午餐。作者的救助成功了，说明结局是美好的。再结合第一段的However, when it works, it is simply beautiful.可推测，作者感觉很美好。故选B。 C During my summer exchange program in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, I experienced a series of awkward yet enlightening moments caused by cultural differences in body language. On my first day, my host family greeted me with overwhelming warmth. When the father, Carlos, approached me with a strong embrace and kissed both my cheeks, I instinctively stepped back, my body stiff with surprise. In my culture, such intimate (亲密的) gestures are reserved for close friends or family, not offered to strangers upon first meeting. I noticed a flicker of confusion on his face, which immediately made me regret my reaction. The following day, I joined some local students at a café. Everyone was friendly, and the conversation flowed. At one point, a girl named Ana described her plan for the weekend and made the “OK” hand gesture, forming a circle with her thumb and index finger. I smiled and returned the same sign, assuming it meant agreement or approval. To my surprise, she looked startled and quickly lowered her hand. Later, a friend gently explained that in Brazil, that particular gesture is considered rude and offensive (冒犯的), similar to raising a middle finger in some other cultures. I felt my face burn with embarrassment. Another incident happened during a group discussion. I maintained steady eye contact to show that I was attentive and sincere. However, I noticed that my Brazilian counterparts frequently glanced away instead of holding my gaze. It felt as if they were disinterested or distracted (分心的). Afterwards, my host sister told me that in her culture, prolonged eye contact, especially in casual conversations, can be perceived (理解) as confrontational or even aggressive. They prefer softer and shorter eye contact to show respect and maintain harmony. These experiences made me realize how easily nonverbal signals can be misread across cultures. I had assumed that my own habits were universal, but I was unintentionally causing confusion. Since then, I have made an effort to observe and learn the local customs of any country I visit. Understanding body language is just as important as learning the language itself when it comes to truly connecting with people from different backgrounds. 8. How did the author react when the host father greeted him with a hug and a kiss? A. He responded with the same gesture. B. He stepped back nervously. C. He shook hands instead. D. He ignored the greeting. 9. The underlined word “confrontational” in the fourth paragraph most likely means ________. A. friendly and warm B. likely to cause argument C. full of respect D. shy and nervous 10. Why did the author feel embarrassed after making the “OK” gesture? A. Because it meant something negative in Brazil. B. Because he didn’t say thank you. C. Because the girl didn’t understand him. D. Because he made the gesture incorrectly. 11. What is the main purpose of this passage? A. To introduce Brazilian culture and customs. B. To explain how to avoid body language mistakes. C. To describe the author’s unforgettable travel experience. D. To show the importance of understanding cultural differences in body language. 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，作者通过自己在巴西的交流经历，讲述了因文化差异导致的身体语言误解，并强调了理解不同文化中肢体语言的重要性。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第2段“When the father, Carlos, approached me with a strong embrace and kissed both my cheeks, I instinctively stepped back, my body stiff with surprise.(当父亲卡洛斯用热烈拥抱和亲吻双颊的方式问候我时，我本能地后退了一步，身体因惊讶而僵硬。)”可知，当那位父亲用一个拥抱和一个亲吻来迎接他时，作者因不习惯亲密问候而紧张后退。故选B。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第4段“Afterwards, my host sister told me that in her culture, prolonged eye contact, especially in casual conversations, can be perceived(理解) as confrontational or even aggressive. They prefer softer and shorter eye contact to show respect and maintain harmony.(之后，我的寄宿姐姐告诉我，在她的文化中，长时间的眼神接触，尤其是在随意的交谈中，可能会被视为confrontational，甚至是攻击性的。他们更倾向于采用较为柔和的和短暂的眼神接触来表示尊重并维持和谐。)”可知，人们更倾向于采用较为柔和的和短暂的眼神接触来表示尊重并维持和谐，因此推断长时间的眼神接触，尤其在随意对话中，可能被视为挑衅甚至具有攻击性。故“confrontational”与B项“可能引发争论的”意思相近。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第3段“Later, a friend gently explained that in Brazil, that particular gesture is considered rude and offensive (冒犯的), similar to raising a middle finger in some other cultures. I felt my face burn with embarrassment.(后来，一位朋友温和地解释说，在巴西，那种特定的举动会被视为粗鲁和冒犯性的行为，就像在其他一些文化中竖起中指那样。我感到自己的脸因为尴尬而涨得通红。)”可知，作者因手势的负面含义感到尴尬。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“These experiences made me realize how easily nonverbal signals can be misread across cultures. I had assumed that my own habits were universal, but I was unintentionally causing confusion. Since then, I have made an effort to observe and learn the local customs of any country I visit. Understanding body language is just as important as learning the language itself when it comes to truly connecting with people from different backgrounds.(这些经历让我意识到，非语言信号在不同文化之间很容易被误解。我原本以为自己的习惯是普遍适用的，但实际上我无意中造成了混乱。从那以后，我努力去观察和了解我所访问的任何国家的当地习俗。在与来自不同背景的人建立真正联系方面，理解肢体语言与学习语言本身同样重要。)”可推知，作者写文章的目的是强调理解文化差异在肢体语言中的重要性。故选D。 D American billionaire Elon Musk has demonstrated a technology designed to use a computer chip inside the head to control the brain. During a video demonstration on Friday, Musk provided details about the system, called Neuralink. Musk says he hopes the technology can be used to treat neural disorders and help spinal injury victims regain body movement. Musk also believes the system could be used in the future to improve intelligence to help humans keep up with supercomputers and artificial intelligence (AI) technology. During the show, Musk showed off a model of the Neuralink device. It is about 23 millimeters wide. It is designed to be implanted into a person's skull. Small wires would connect the device directly to the brain. The Neuralink system is currently being tested in pigs, with plans to seek government approval for human testing sometime in the future. A pig named Gertrude was also shown during the show. Musk explained that Gertrude had a Neuralink chip inside its head. The device is meant to record nerve activity in the pig's nose and mouth. Musk said the company had three pigs, each with two chips. He described the animals as "healthy, happy and indistinguishable from a normal pig." Musk said the company was able to predict with "high accuracy" a pig's leg movement on a running machine using data from the chip. Musk noted that Neuralink first wants to use the device on people with severe spinal cord injuries to help them talk and move using their brain waves. He said he is hopeful that, in the long term, those people could regain "full-body motion." Some neuroscientists not linked to the company said the presentation suggested Neuralink had made great progress with the technology. However, they warned that many more studies will be needed to test the long-term success of such devices. 12. What good can the Neuralink device do to the disabled? A. Making them think clearly. B. Treating their diseases successfully. C. Having them keep up with supercomputers. D. Helping them to move again. 13. Which can best describe the pigs with a Neuralink inside their heads? A. Normal. B. Active. C. Nervous. D. Intelligent. 14. What do some neuroscientists think of Neuralink? A. it has been a great success. B. it will succeed very soon. C. it has a long way to go. D. It needs support from new theories. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. There Will Be Great Progress in Brain Science. B. Musk Shows Technology Linking Computer to Brain. C. Three Pigs Are being Tested Instead of Human Beings. D. The Disabled Will Receive Better Treatment in the future. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了美国亿万富翁Elon Musk展示了一项技术，该技术利用头脑内部的电脑芯片来控制大脑。Musk希望这项技术用于治疗神经紊乱。文章介绍了这项技术的工作方式，在猪身上的测试情况以及未来的发展。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Musk says he hopes the technology can be used to treat neural disorders and help spinal injury victims regain body movement.”（Musk表示，他希望这项技术可以用于治疗神经紊乱，并帮助残疾人，特别是脊椎受伤的人恢复身体活动能力）可知，神经连接装置对残疾人的好处是能够帮助他们再次活动。故选D项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中“Musk said the company had three pigs, each with two chips. He described the animals as ‘healthy, happy and indistinguishable from a normal pig.’”（Musk说，该公司有三只猪，每只猪有两个芯片。他说这些动物是“健康、快乐的，不能把它们和正常的猪区分开来。”）可以推知，脑袋里有Neuralink的猪情况很正常。故选A项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Some neuroscientists not linked to the company said the presentation suggested Neuralink had made great progress with the technology. However, they warned that many more studies will be needed to test the long-term success of such devices.”（一些神经科学家表示，该节目表明，Neuralink在这项技术上取得了巨大进步。然而，他们警告说，还需要更多的研究来测试这种设备的长期效果）可以推知，一些神经科学家认为Neuralink还有很长的路要走。故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第一段中“American billionaire Elon Musk has demonstrated a technology designed to use a computer chip inside the head to control the brain.”（美国亿万富翁Elon Musk展示了一项技术，该技术利用头内部的电脑芯片来控制大脑。）等内容可知，文章主要介绍了Musk所展示的一项可以将电脑和人脑进行连接的科技, B选项“Musk展示连接电脑和大脑的技术”突出主题，简明准确，最适合作文章标题。故选B项。 第一节（共5小题：每小题15分，满分7.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项有两项为多余选项。 How to Take Notes from a Textbook Be selective.

A. have told；washes B. have been told；washes C. was told；washed D. have been told；is washed 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查动词时态语态。句意：因为我已经被告知这种布料很好洗，于是我想去买这种布。第一空中使用现在完成时表示过去发生的事情对现在的影响，且I与tell是被动关系，所以使用现在完成时的被动形式。第二空中动词wash与副词well连用，用主动形式表示被动含义。故B项正确。 【点睛】小题2中考查了主动表示被动的用法，涉及“主语+不及物动词+主语补语”句型中的一些不及物动词使用主动表示被动的用法。具体用法如下： 1)系动词没有被动形式,但有些系动词常表示被动意义。常见的有taste(吃起来), sound (听起来), prove(证明是), feel(摸上去感到)等,例如:    Your reason sounds reasonable.   你的理由听起来很合理。    Good medicine tastes bitter to the mouth.  良药苦口  2)一些与can't(不能)或won't(不会)连用的动词。常用的有: lock(锁住), shut(关上) , open（打开，营业）, close（关门）, cut（切割）, weigh（重）, act（上演）,例如:   The door won't open.      这门打不开。   It can't move.     它不能动。  This shop opens much earlier than it used to. Each stone weighs 2 tons.   3)一些与well(很), easily(容易地), perfectly(十分地)等连用的动词,如: sell, wash, clean, burn, cook, wash, write, last, read, wear等。这种“动词+副词”结构，常表示事物内部特有的属性。例如:    The book sells well.   这种书很畅销。    These clothes wash well.  这些衣服很耐洗。  4) 用在“主语+不及物动词+主语补语”句型中的一些不及物动词,  例如:This material has worn thin.  这料子已磨薄了。     The dust has blown into the house.  灰尘被风吹进了房子。  This kind of cloth washes well and lasts long.    The pen my father gave me as a birthday gift writes smoothly.   Written in simple English, this article reads easily.   5) 某些不及物动词，如happen, occur, cost以及短语，如come out（出版）, come up（出现）, come into being（产生） come to one’s mind（想起）, turn out（证明是）, come about（发生）, break out（爆发）, belong to（属于）等，本身表被动含义，所以它们常用主动形式。    The first textbooks written for teaching English as a foreign language came out in the 18th century.     Suddenly an idea came to his mind    It never occurred to me to phone you. 37. __________knowledge and skills, he had no difficulty __________ a well-paid job after graduation. A. Equipped with; finding B. Equipped for, finding C. Equipping with; to find D. Equipping for, to find 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：装备了知识和技能，他毕业后找一份薪水丰厚的工作是没有困难的。①空处为固定搭配：be equipped with意为“装备有”，因为本句已有谓语动词had，所以用非谓语形式，去掉be动词，②空处为固定搭配：have no difficulty (in) doing sth.意为“做某事没有困难”。故选A项。 38. The goods ________ from the Internet are cheaper than ________ we buy in shops. A. be bought; that B. bought; those C. bought; that D. were bought; the ones 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词和代词。句意：从网上买的东西比我们在商店买的便宜。分析可知，句中谓语为“are”，所填空应作非谓语。动词“buy” 与之前名词之间为被动关系，应用过去分词作后置定语，因此用bought。在比较状语从句中，为避免重复，当比较对象一致时，用that/those代替。the goods 为复数概念，应用those。故选B项。 39. The professor mentioned a typical case ________ a patient who had been given the wrong treatment recovered unexpectedly due to his strong will and positive attitude. A. which B. as C. why D. where 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查定语从句关系词。句意：教授提到了一个典型案例：一名接受了错误治疗的患者，凭借坚强的意志和积极的心态，意外地康复了。空处引导定语从句，先行词case（情况、案例）表示抽象地点，从句结构完整，用关系副词where引导定语从句。故选D。 40. Michael put up a picture of Lionel Messi beside the bed to keep himself ________ of his own dreams. A. reminding B. to remind C. reminded D. remind 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：迈克尔在床边贴了一张梅西的照片，以此提醒自己不忘梦想。remind sb. of sth.表示“提醒某人某事”，故himself与remind为被动关系，用过去分词，keep oneself reminded of sth.为固定结构，表示“使某人自己被提醒某事”。故选C。 第三节 单词拼写（共5小题：每小题1分，满分5分） 阅读下句子，根据汉语提示在空1处填入1个适当的单词。 41. It is reported that the famous director made a generous ________ (捐赠) to the charity. (根据汉语提示单词拼写) 【答案】donation 【解析】 【详解】考查名词。句意：据报道，这位著名导演向慈善机构做出了慷慨的捐赠。形容词generous后接名词，“捐赠”对应的名词是donation。不定冠词提示用名词单数。故填donation。 42. Only by doing this can our society become more ________ (和谐的) and safer! (根据汉语提示单词拼写) 【答案】harmonious 【解析】 【详解】考查形容词。句意：只有这样做，我们的社会才能变得更加和谐、更加安全！句中become为系动词，后接形容词作表语，且与safer并列，需用形容词比较级。“和谐的”对应单词harmonious，与前面的more构成比较级。故填harmonious。 43. Masses of endangered species are being hunted ________ (非法地), which has caught the government’s attention. (根据汉语提示单词拼写) 【答案】illegally 【解析】 【详解】考查副词。句意：大量濒危物种正遭到非法捕猎，这已引起了政府的关注。“非法地”用副词illegally作状语，修饰动词hunted。故填illegally。 44. These ________ (提示) will be helpful to keep your children safe in heavy traffic. (根据汉语提示单词拼写) 【答案】tips 【解析】 【详解】考查名词复数。句意：这些提示将有助于在交通繁忙时保证你孩子的安全。“提示”对应的英文单词是tip，是可数名词，由These可知，此处要用复数形式tips，在句中作主语。故填tips。 45.

(根据汉语提示单词拼写) 【答案】ensure 【解析】 【详解】考查动词。句意：老板要求每个部门经理确保下一季度的利润。根据汉语提示“确保”可知，应填动词ensure的适当形式；根据主句谓语“requests(要求)”可知，其后的宾语从句需使用虚拟语气，即谓语用“(should) + 动词原形”结构，此处应填动词原形ensure。故填ensure。 第四节 语法填空（共10小题：每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 A music concert “Echoes of Ancient Tang Poems” jointly performed by iSING!

Students from seven different primary schools in and around the small town were warming up and walking the route(路线)through thick evergreen forest. I looked around and finally spotted David, who was standing by himself off to the side by a fence. He was small for ten years old. His usual big toothy smile was absent today. I walked over and asked him why he wasn’t with the other children. He hesitated and then said he had decided not to run. What was wrong? He had worked so hard for this event! I quickly searched the crowd for the school’s coach and asked him what had happened. “I was afraid that kids from other schools would laugh at him,” he explained uncomfortably. “I gave him the choice to run or not, and let him decide.” I bit back my frustration(懊恼). I knew the coach meant well—he thought he was doing the right thing. After making sure that David could run if he wanted, I turned to find him coming towards me, his small body rocking from side to side as he swung his feet forward. David had a brain disease which prevented him from walking or running like other children, but at school his classmates thought of him as a regular kid. He always participated to the best of his ability in whatever they were doing. That was why none of the children thought it unusual that David had decided to join the cross-country team. It just took him longer—that’s all. David had not missed a single practice, and although he always finished his run long after the other children, he did always finish. As a special education teacher at the school, I was familiar with the challenges David faced and was proud of his strong determination. 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. We sat down next to each other, but David wouldn’t look at me. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I watched as David moved up to the starting line with the other runners. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】We sat down next to each other, but David wouldn’t look at me. I said gently and quietly, “No one can change your mind, except yourself. If you desire to challenge yourself, there is nothing to do with others’ thoughts.” He sat still with a deep breath. “You have a full preparation before this event, which is the most important reason why you show up here”, I added with a sincere tone. Hearing my words, David turned to me tremblingly with tears spilling out of his eyes and expressed he had made a firm determination to finish the cross-country run. His coach heard what David said and gave me a look—the kind that was more determined than anyone else’s. I watched as David moved up to the starting line with the other runners. The race started. It seemed that the runway was extremely long for young children, not to mention a child with a brain disease. David insisted on running as if he had forgotten all his weaknesses, though he was tripped over within the a few kilometers. It didn’t take long before he picked himself up again and continued his mission. Classmates all appeared on the racing track, cheering for him. “Come on! You can make it! We are proud of you!” they shouted enthusiastically. To everyone’s joy, he reached the final line and ranked the 20th. It was no more important whether he won the first place or not. It was his brave heart and strong faith that could make something unusual happen finally. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者是一名特殊教育教师，在大型越野赛跑那天，发现患有大脑疾病的大卫独自站在一旁。作者问其原因，他说准备放弃比赛。从教练口中得知，因为担心同学们会嘲笑大卫，所以教练想让大卫自己去决定是否参加赛跑。作者让大卫追寻自己的内心，不理会别人的看法，大卫最终参赛，尽管遇到困难，他战胜了自己，这已经无关名次，而是他的勇敢和坚定让这一切成为可能。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我们挨着坐着，但大卫不愿看我一眼。”可知，第一段可描写作者鼓励大卫继续完成比赛，大卫经过强烈的心理斗争，最终决定参加比赛。 ②由第二段首句内容“我看着大卫和其他选手一起走到起跑线上。”可知，第二段可描写大卫开始参赛，虽然中途遇到困难，仍然坚持到最后，完成比赛。 2.续写线索：鼓励大卫——心理变化——决定参赛——克服困难——加油助威——完成比赛——感悟 3.词汇激活： 行动类： ①深呼吸：with a deep breath/breathe deeply ②坚持做：insisted on doing/be stick to doing 情绪类： ①热情：enthusiastically /with great passion ②骄傲：be proud of/take pride in 【点睛】[高分句型1]You have a full preparation before this event, which is the most important reason why you show up here.
