After more than half a century since his last class at the University of Cincinnati (UC), Paul Blom, 93, walked alongside other students at the university’s official graduation ceremony in December, 2019, where he received an associate’s degree. The World War Ⅱ veteran (老兵) first enrolled at the university in 1946, after returning home from serving in the Navy for three years. “I came down to UC thinking I was going to go to school, but you know, it was late, it was almost August, and there was no room for me,” Blom told WCPO­TV. Blom enrolled in UC’s evening college program where he took night classes in traffic management for nine years. But as he became more involved with his family’s trucking business, he decided to stop attending. “You know, it kind of slipped by,” he said. “I think I only lacked maybe two courses for some reason or another. I just didn’t ever go back and finish that.” Back in May, Blom’s daughter, Paula Baxter, reached UC to see if her father could receive an honorary degree and the university found that it could offer him much more. After discovering that Blom received more than enough credits to be qualified for an associate’s degree through UC Blue Ash College, a regional college within the University of Cincinnati, university officials were able to issue him with the associate’s degree he had earned in full all those years ago. “It’s very inspirational to see a part of the Greatest Generation receive his degree and be a part of this ceremony,” said Terence Harrison, program manager of Veterans Programs and Services, according to the university website. “It just goes to show that you’re never too old to see your dreams fulfilled.” 24. How old was Paul Blom when he began to serve in the Navy? A. 17. B. 21. C. 25. D. 27. 25. Why did Paul Blom give up night classes? A. Traffic management was not suitable for him. B. Traffic management took too many years. C. He wasn’t interested in two courses for some reason. D He had no time to spare for the classes. 26. Which of the following can best describe Paul Blom according to Terence Harrison? A. Humorous. B. Reliable. C. Inspiring. D. Intelligent. 27. What lesson can we get from Paul Blom? A. Knowledge is power. B. Practice makes perfect. C. Pride goes before a fall. D. Never let age limit your dreams. C Voluntourism is a type of tourism in which travellers participate in volunteer work, usually for a charity or a non-profit, Most often, voluntourists travel for the specific purpose of volunteering in an organized way for specific causes, but others simply include volunteer aspects to a traditional vacation experience. Much like sustainable tourism as a whole, the legitimacy (合法性) or success of a voluntourism program depends highly on how it is managed. When done the right way, it can help communities grow and truly provide benefits to a specific cause. But it’s up to the individual volunteer, too, who has the added responsibility of staying informed and setting their destinations up for success. Ken Budd, author of the award-winning memoir The Voluntourist, says that countless organizations around the world create lasting results. The writer, who volunteered in at least six countries, speaks for it, such as teaching English in a Costa Rican elementary school that relied on volunteers when they couldn’t afford teachers. However, not all voluntourism programs are helping. A reporter for The New York Times wrote in 2016 about their experience with a group of people building a school in Haiti: “These people knew nothing about how to construct a building. Collectively they had spent thousands of dollars to fly here to do a job that Haitian bricklayers could have done far more quickly. Imagine how many classrooms might have been built if they had donated that money rather than spending it to fly down themselves. Perhaps those Haitian bricklayers could have found weeks of employment instead of out of a job, at least for several days.” If an organization can get free labor from an unskilled volunteer, they’re not spending money hiring locals to do the same work for a fee. In a poverty-stricken economy where residents are already struggling to find jobs, funds that go towards digging a well or building a school will have more of an impact if they stay within the local economy. Taking work from locals can prevent developing communities from self-establishment. Not to mention, volunteers who are untrained in whatever service they are providing can sometimes actually end up holding back progress. 28. How does the author introduce the topic “voluntourism”? A. By explaining its origin. B. By presenting its concept. C. By discussing its classification. D. By sorting out its causes. 29. What helps guarantee the success of a voluntourism program according to the passage? A. The purpose and legitimacy of a program. B. Participants’ previous voluntary experience. C. The degree of involvement of each volunteer. D. Proper control of the program and responsible volunteers. 30. What is the third paragraph mainly about? A. Voluntourists’ donations to their destinations. B. The enthusiasm of people for rebuilding Haiti. C. The invisible problem brought by voluntourists. D. Voluntourists’ determination to make contributions. 31. What’s the author’s attitude to voluntourism? A. Objective. B. Indifferent, C. Favorable. D. Disapproving. D The ongoing climate change is ready to have serious and lasting consequences for plants across the globe. A research conducted by Liverpool John Moores University, UK is primarily focused on exploring how the nutritional content of food crops may be affected by the interacting effects of rising CO2 levels and increasing temperatures associated with climate change. The research is focused on popular leafy vegetables, including kale, rocket and spinach. For this project, these crops are grown in environment-controlled growth rooms at Liverpool John Moores University, and the CO2 and temperature levels are changed to look like the UK’s predicted future climate conditions. After the plants have been grown under climate change conditions, their nutritional quality was analyzed. Early results from this project suggest that raised levels of atmospheric CO2 can help crops grow faster and bigger, but certainly not healthier. After some time, the crops showed a reduction in key minerals like Ca and certain antioxidant compounds (抗氧化化合物). These changes were worsened by rising temperatures. A key early finding is that different crops have responded differently to these climate change stressors, with some species reacting more intensely than others. “This diversity in response highlights that we can’t generalize across crop species. This complexity has been both fascinating and challenging and reminds us why it’s important to study multiple stressors together,” says Jiata Ugwah Ekele, a PhD student at Liverpool John Moores University, UK. This nutritional imbalance poses serious health implications for humanity. While higher CO2 levels can increase the concentration of sugars in crops, it can decrease essential proteins, minerals and antioxidants. “This changed balance could contribute to diets that are higher in calories but poorer in nutritional value,” says Ms. Ekele. “Increased sugar content in crops, especially fruits and vegetables, could lead to greater risks of extreme overweight and type 2 diabetes — particularly in populations already struggling with these diseases.” 32. What is the focus of the study? A. Future climate conditions in the UK. B. New types of leafy vegetables in the UK. C. The way to grow crops faster in greenhouses. D. Climate change and its impact on crop nutrition. 33. What was the condition of the crops grown for this research project? A. Thinner air. B. Controlled water. C. Higher CO2 level. D. Lower temperature. 34. How does Ms. Ekele sound in the last paragraph? A. Annoyed. B. Concerned. C. Satisfied. D. Confident. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Bigger crops, fewer nutrients B. Faster growth, richer minerals C. Warmer climate balanced crops D. Higher CO2, healthier vegetables 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。 How to Stop Laughing at Inappropriate Times Although laughing at inappropriate times can be embarrassing, it’s actually a natural reaction for some people when they’re facing a highly stressful situation. ___36___ However, when inappropriate laughter negatively affects your life, start by controlling your urge to laugh.

We advertised our pianos in small town newspapers and then, when we received many replies, we would load our little trucks, drive into the area and sell the pianos to those who had replied. Every time we advertised, we would receive a reply on a postcard which said, “Please bring me a new piano for my little granddaughter. It must be red mahogany(红木). I can pay $10 a month with my egg money.” Of course, we could not sell a new piano for $10 a month. No finance company would carry a contract with payments that small, so we ignored her postcards. One day, however, I happened to be in that area calling on other replies, and out of curiosity I decided to meet the old lady. I found pretty much what I expected: The old lady lived in a one-room cabin in the middle of a cotton field. The cabin had a dirt floor and there were chickens in the house. Obviously, she could not have qualified to purchase anything on credit—no car, no phone, no real job, nothing but a roof over her head. I could see daylight through the roof in several places. Her little granddaughter was about 8, barefoot and wearing a dress made out of cotton bags holding animal feed. I explained to the old lady that we could not sell a new piano for $10 a month and that she should stop writing to us every time she saw our advertisement. I drove away heartsick, but my advice had no effect—she still sent us the same postcard every time we advertised. Always wanting a new piano, red mahogany, she swore she would never miss a$10 payment. It was sad. Several years later, I owned my own piano company, and each time I advertised in that area, the old lady’s postcards would come to me. 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。 One day when I was in that area, I made a big decision. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Twenty years later, while sitting at a bar, I heard the most beautiful piano music behind me. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年育才高级中学高二3月月考英语试题 第一部分 听力(共两节，20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题：每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What does the man want to do?

This is Botswana National Stadium. This is where I train. When I saw Usain Bolt running in 2012 London Olympics, I was amazed. Just watching him run, got me motivated. I quit being a chess player and started to run. I went to the 2016 Olympics and went to the finals at the age of 18. And wow, I finished fifth. It was a dream come true to me, but I still wanted more. The training is super hard. But the hardest part for me is that I got an injury, an injury which may take me out for years. For a period of time, as a young athlete, I didn’t know what to do. I lost focus. But now, I’m back on the track. I really want to be there at the Olympics and do what I did before. Do much, much greater. I don’t care about the gold, I don’t care about the silver. I want to do my best, you know, take everything and show it to the world. 第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) A Things to Do in Yorkshire This Summer Harrogate Music Festival Since its birth, Harrogate Music Festival has gone from strength to strength.

After more than half a century since his last class at the University of Cincinnati (UC), Paul Blom, 93, walked alongside other students at the university’s official graduation ceremony in December, 2019, where he received an associate’s degree. The World War Ⅱ veteran (老兵) first enrolled at the university in 1946, after returning home from serving in the Navy for three years. “I came down to UC thinking I was going to go to school, but you know, it was late, it was almost August, and there was no room for me,” Blom told WCPO­TV. Blom enrolled in UC’s evening college program where he took night classes in traffic management for nine years. But as he became more involved with his family’s trucking business, he decided to stop attending. “You know, it kind of slipped by,” he said. “I think I only lacked maybe two courses for some reason or another. I just didn’t ever go back and finish that.” Back in May, Blom’s daughter, Paula Baxter, reached UC to see if her father could receive an honorary degree and the university found that it could offer him much more. After discovering that Blom received more than enough credits to be qualified for an associate’s degree through UC Blue Ash College, a regional college within the University of Cincinnati, university officials were able to issue him with the associate’s degree he had earned in full all those years ago. “It’s very inspirational to see a part of the Greatest Generation receive his degree and be a part of this ceremony,” said Terence Harrison, program manager of Veterans Programs and Services, according to the university website. “It just goes to show that you’re never too old to see your dreams fulfilled.” 24. How old was Paul Blom when he began to serve in the Navy? A. 17. B. 21. C. 25. D. 27. 25. Why did Paul Blom give up night classes? A. Traffic management was not suitable for him. B. Traffic management took too many years. C. He wasn’t interested in two courses for some reason. D. He had no time to spare for the classes. 26. Which of the following can best describe Paul Blom according to Terence Harrison? A. Humorous. B. Reliable. C. Inspiring. D. Intelligent. 27. What lesson can we get from Paul Blom? A. Knowledge is power. B. Practice makes perfect. C. Pride goes before a fall. D. Never let age limit your dreams. 【答案】24. A 25. D 26. C 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了Paul Blom在其93岁高龄时和其他大学生一起参加毕业典礼。他的故事给了我们很大的启发：只要有心，实现梦想永远都不会太迟。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“After more than half a century since his last class at the University of Cincinnati (UC), Paul Blom, 93, walked alongside other students at the university’s official graduation ceremony in December, 2019, where he received an associate’s degree.(在辛辛那提大学（UC）上完最后一堂课半个多世纪后，93岁的Paul Blom与其他学生一起参加了2019年12月的大学正式毕业典礼，并获得了副学士学位)”以及第二段“The World War Ⅱ veteran (老兵) first enrolled at the university in 1946, after returning home from serving in the Navy for three years. (这位二战老兵于1946年从海军服役三年后回到家，首次进入这所大学)”可知，Paul Blom在2019年时93岁，1946年从海军服役三年后回到家，所以他是1943年去服役的，2019-93=1926，为出生年份，1943-1926 = 17，即Paul Blom17岁开始服役。故选A。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“But as he became more involved with his family’s trucking business, he decided to stop attending. “You know, it kind of slipped by,” he said. “I think I only lacked maybe two courses for some reason or another. I just didn’t ever go back and finish that.” (但随着他更多地参与家族的卡车运输业务，他决定不再继续上学。“你知道吗，这事有点不知不觉就过去了，” 他说，“我记得当时好像就差两门课没修完，具体原因记不太清了。我只是再也没回去把学业完成。”)”以及常识可知，他因为忙于家族生意，他放弃了课程，即他没有时间上课了。故选D。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““It’s very inspirational to see a part of the Greatest Generation receive his degree and be a part of this ceremony,” said Terence Harrison, program manager of Veterans Programs and Services, according to the university website. “It just goes to show that you’re never too old to see your dreams fulfilled.” (据大学网站报道，退伍军人项目和服务项目经理Terence Harrison说：“看到最伟大的一代中的一员获得学位并成为这个仪式的一部分，非常鼓舞人心。这表明，实现梦想永远都不会嫌晚。”)”可知，Terence Harrison认为Paul Blom的事迹很鼓舞人心、具有激励作用。故选C。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“It’s never too late to fulfill your dreams. (实现梦想永远不会太晚)”以及最后一段““It’s very inspirational to see a part of the Greatest Generation receive his degree and be a part of this ceremony,” said Terence Harrison, program manager of Veterans Programs and Services, according to the university website. “It just goes to show that you’re never too old to see your dreams fulfilled.” (据大学网站报道，退伍军人项目和服务项目经理Terence Harrison说：“看到最伟大的一代中的一员获得学位并成为这个仪式的一部分，非常鼓舞人心。这表明，实现梦想永远都不会嫌晚。”)”可知，我们从Paul Blom身上得到的启示是永远不要让年龄限制你的梦想，活到老学到老，实现梦想永远都不会太迟。故选D。 C Voluntourism is a type of tourism in which travellers participate in volunteer work, usually for a charity or a non-profit, Most often, voluntourists travel for the specific purpose of volunteering in an organized way for specific causes, but others simply include volunteer aspects to a traditional vacation experience. Much like sustainable tourism as a whole, the legitimacy (合法性) or success of a voluntourism program depends highly on how it is managed. When done the right way, it can help communities grow and truly provide benefits to a specific cause. But it’s up to the individual volunteer, too, who has the added responsibility of staying informed and setting their destinations up for success. Ken Budd, author of the award-winning memoir The Voluntourist, says that countless organizations around the world create lasting results. The writer, who volunteered in at least six countries, speaks for it, such as teaching English in a Costa Rican elementary school that relied on volunteers when they couldn’t afford teachers. However, not all voluntourism programs are helping. A reporter for The New York Times wrote in 2016 about their experience with a group of people building a school in Haiti: “These people knew nothing about how to construct a building. Collectively they had spent thousands of dollars to fly here to do a job that Haitian bricklayers could have done far more quickly. Imagine how many classrooms might have been built if they had donated that money rather than spending it to fly down themselves. Perhaps those Haitian bricklayers could have found weeks of employment instead of out of a job, at least for several days.” If an organization can get free labor from an unskilled volunteer, they’re not spending money hiring locals to do the same work for a fee. In a poverty-stricken economy where residents are already struggling to find jobs, funds that go towards digging a well or building a school will have more of an impact if they stay within the local economy. Taking work from locals can prevent developing communities from self-establishment. Not to mention, volunteers who are untrained in whatever service they are providing can sometimes actually end up holding back progress. 28. How does the author introduce the topic “voluntourism”? A. By explaining its origin. B. By presenting its concept. C. By discussing its classification. D. By sorting out its causes. 29. What helps guarantee the success of a voluntourism program according to the passage? A. The purpose and legitimacy of a program. B. Participants’ previous voluntary experience. C. The degree of involvement of each volunteer. D. Proper control of the program and responsible volunteers. 30. What is the third paragraph mainly about? A. Voluntourists’ donations to their destinations. B. The enthusiasm of people for rebuilding Haiti. C. The invisible problem brought by voluntourists. D. Voluntourists’ determination to make contributions. 31. What’s the author’s attitude to voluntourism? A. Objective. B. Indifferent, C. Favorable. D. Disapproving. 【答案】28. B 29. D 30. C 31. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文，主要谈论了公益旅游的概念，及其优点和可能带来的问题。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Voluntourism is a type of tourism in which travellers participate in volunteer work, usually for a charity or a non-profit.”（公益旅游是一种旅游类型，旅行者参与志愿者工作，通常是为了慈善或非营利组织。）可知，作者通过介绍其概念来引入“公益旅游”这个主题。故选B。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Much like sustainable tourism as a whole ,the legitimacy (合法性) or success of a voluntourism program depends highly on how it is managed. When done the right way, it can help communities grow and truly provide benefits to a specific cause. But it’s up to the individual volunteer, too, who has the added responsibility of staying informed and setting their destinations up for success.”（志愿者旅游项目的合法性或成功在很大程度上取决于它是如何管理的。如果做得正确，它可以帮助社区发展并真正为特定的事业提供帮助。但这也取决于每个志愿者，他们有保持了解并为他们的目的地成功做好准备的额外责任。）可知，公益旅游项目的成功取决于项目的适当管理和负责任的志愿者。故选D。 【30题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“However, not all voluntourism programs are helping. A reporter for The New York Times wrote in 2016 about their experience with a group of people building a school in Haiti: ‘These people knew nothing about how to construct a building. Collectively they had spent thousands of dollars to fly here to do a job that Haitian bricklayers could have done far more quickly. Imagine how many classrooms might have been built if they had donated that money rather than spending it to fly down themselves.’（然而，并不是所有的公益旅游项目都有帮助。2016年，《纽约时报》的一名记者写了他在海地一群人建造学校的经历：“这些人对如何建造建筑一无所知。他们总共花了几千美元飞到这里来做一件海地砌砖工人本来可以快得多的工作。想象一下，如果他们把钱捐出来，而不是把钱花在自己的飞机上，可能会建多少教室。）可住，第三段主要讨论了公益旅游可能带来的看不见的问题。故选C。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“When done the right way, it can help communities grow and truly provide benefits to a specific cause.”（如果做得正确，它可以帮助社区发展，并真正为特定的事业带来好处）根据第三段“However, not all voluntourism programs are helping.”（然而，并不是所有的公益旅游项目都有帮助）可知，作者介绍了公益旅游的有点也介绍了其缺点，所以作者对公益旅游是客观的。故选A。 D The ongoing climate change is ready to have serious and lasting consequences for plants across the globe. A research conducted by Liverpool John Moores University, UK is primarily focused on exploring how the nutritional content of food crops may be affected by the interacting effects of rising CO2 levels and increasing temperatures associated with climate change. The research is focused on popular leafy vegetables, including kale, rocket and spinach. For this project, these crops are grown in environment-controlled growth rooms at Liverpool John Moores University, and the CO2 and temperature levels are changed to look like the UK’s predicted future climate conditions. After the plants have been grown under climate change conditions, their nutritional quality was analyzed. Early results from this project suggest that raised levels of atmospheric CO2 can help crops grow faster and bigger, but certainly not healthier. After some time, the crops showed a reduction in key minerals like Ca and certain antioxidant compounds (抗氧化化合物). These changes were worsened by rising temperatures. A key early finding is that different crops have responded differently to these climate change stressors, with some species reacting more intensely than others. “This diversity in response highlights that we can’t generalize across crop species. This complexity has been both fascinating and challenging and reminds us why it’s important to study multiple stressors together,” says Jiata Ugwah Ekele, a PhD student at Liverpool John Moores University, UK. This nutritional imbalance poses serious health implications for humanity. While higher CO2 levels can increase the concentration of sugars in crops, it can decrease essential proteins, minerals and antioxidants. “This changed balance could contribute to diets that are higher in calories but poorer in nutritional value,” says Ms. Ekele. “Increased sugar content in crops, especially fruits and vegetables, could lead to greater risks of extreme overweight and type 2 diabetes — particularly in populations already struggling with these diseases.” 32. What is the focus of the study? A. Future climate conditions in the UK. B. New types of leafy vegetables in the UK. C. The way to grow crops faster in greenhouses. D. Climate change and its impact on crop nutrition. 33. What was the condition of the crops grown for this research project? A. Thinner air. B. Controlled water. C. Higher CO2 level. D. Lower temperature. 34. How does Ms. Ekele sound in the last paragraph? A. Annoyed. B. Concerned. C. Satisfied. D. Confident. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Bigger crops, fewer nutrients B. Faster growth, richer minerals C. Warmer climate, balanced crops D. Higher CO2, healthier vegetables 【答案】32. D 33. C 34. B 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍英国一项研究探讨气候变化下二氧化碳浓度和气温上升对作物营养成分的影响，及其带来的健康隐患。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“A research conducted by Liverpool John Moores University, UK is primarily focused on exploring how the nutritional content of food crops may be affected by the interacting effects of rising CO2 levels and increasing temperatures associated with climate change.(英国利物浦约翰摩尔斯大学开展的一项研究，主要聚焦于探索与气候变化相关的二氧化碳浓度上升和气温升高的共同作用，会如何影响粮食作物的营养成分)”可知，该研究的核心是气候变化及其对作物营养的影响。故选D项。 33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“For this project, these crops are grown in environment-controlled growth rooms... and the CO2 and temperature levels are changed to look like the UK’s predicted future climate conditions.(在该项目中，这些作物种植在环境可控的生长室中，二氧化碳和气温水平被调节至英国未来预测的气候状况)”以及第三段中的“Early results from this project suggest that raised levels of atmospheric CO2 can help crops grow faster and bigger(该项目的初步结果表明，大气中二氧化碳浓度升高能促使作物长得更快、更大)”可知，研究中作物的生长环境具有较高的二氧化碳浓度。故选C项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““This changed balance could contribute to diets that are higher in calories but poorer in nutritional value,” says Ms. Ekele. “Increased sugar content in crops, especially fruits and vegetables, could lead to greater risks of extreme overweight and type 2 diabetes — particularly in populations already struggling with these diseases.”(埃克莱女士表示：“这种营养平衡的改变，可能会导致人们的饮食热量更高、但营养价值却更低。”“农作物中糖分含量的增加 —— 尤其是果蔬类作物 —— 可能会提高重度肥胖和2型糖尿病的患病风险，对那些本就深受这些疾病困扰的人群来说，情况尤为严重。”)”可知，她的话语中充满了对作物营养变化给人类健康带来隐患的担忧。故选B项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合第三段中“Early results from this project suggest that raised levels of atmospheric CO2 can help crops grow faster and bigger, but certainly not healthier. After some time, the crops showed a reduction in key minerals like Ca and certain antioxidant compounds. These changes were worsened by rising temperatures.(该项目的初步研究结果显示，大气中二氧化碳浓度的升高确实能促进作物生长得更快、植株更大，但这绝不意味着作物变得更健康。经过一段时间的生长后，这些作物体内的钙等关键矿物质以及某些抗氧化化合物的含量均出现了下降，而气温的持续升高则进一步加剧了这些变化)”可知，文章核心围绕气候变化（二氧化碳浓度升高、气温上升）展开，指出其虽能让作物长得更大更快，但会导致关键矿物质、抗氧化化合物等营养成分减少，形成“作物更大，营养更少”的现象。A项“更大的作物，更少的营养”能概括主旨，适合作为本文标题。故选A项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Stop Laughing at Inappropriate Times Although laughing at inappropriate times can be embarrassing, it’s actually a natural reaction for some people when they’re facing a highly stressful situation. ___36___ However, when inappropriate laughter negatively affects your life, start by controlling your urge to laugh. If you can’t, try one of these options for shifting your thoughts away from what’s triggering (触发) your laughter. ●Distract yourself from your urge to laugh.

We advertised our pianos in small town newspapers and then, when we received many replies, we would load our little trucks, drive into the area and sell the pianos to those who had replied. Every time we advertised, we would receive a reply on a postcard which said, “Please bring me a new piano for my little granddaughter. It must be red mahogany(红木). I can pay $10 a month with my egg money.” Of course, we could not sell a new piano for $10 a month. No finance company would carry a contract with payments that small, so we ignored her postcards. One day, however, I happened to be in that area calling on other replies, and out of curiosity I decided to meet the old lady. I found pretty much what I expected: The old lady lived in a one-room cabin in the middle of a cotton field. The cabin had a dirt floor and there were chickens in the house. Obviously, she could not have qualified to purchase anything on credit—no car, no phone, no real job, nothing but a roof over her head. I could see daylight through the roof in several places. Her little granddaughter was about 8, barefoot and wearing a dress made out of cotton bags holding animal feed. I explained to the old lady that we could not sell a new piano for $10 a month and that she should stop writing to us every time she saw our advertisement. I drove away heartsick, but my advice had no effect—she still sent us the same postcard every time we advertised. Always wanting a new piano, red mahogany, she swore she would never miss a$10 payment. It was sad. Several years later, I owned my own piano company, and each time I advertised in that area, the old lady’s postcards would come to me. 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。 One day when I was in that area, I made a big decision. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Twenty years later, while sitting at a bar, I heard the most beautiful piano music behind me. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One day when I was in the area, I made a big decision. Despite knowing that it was a terrible business decision, I loaded a red mahogany piano onto my little truck. I delivered the piano to the old lady. I placed the new piano in the house, advised her and the little girl to keep the chickens off it and left. I was sure that I had just thrown away a new piano. To my surprise, the payments came in on time with a thank-you note every month. Twenty years later while sitting at a bar. I heard the most beautiful piano music behind me. Looking around, I saw a lovely young woman playing a very nice grand piano. Stunned by her great performance, I moved to a table beside her. She stopped and smiled at me politely, “Aren’t you the man who sold my grandma a piano a long time ago?” It didn’t ring a bell, so she started to explain. And I suddenly remembered., My Lord, it was her, the little barefoot girl in the feed sack dress! I was so glad that my kindness did make a real difference. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者大学毕业后在一家钢琴公司当销售员，每当公司做广告的时候，公司总会收到一位老太太的明信片，上面写着“请给我的小孙女送一架新钢琴。一定是红木的。我可以用卖蛋的钱每个月付10美元”。出于好奇，作者找到了这位老太太，知道了老太太比较贫穷，作者向老太太解释道，不能以每月10美元的价格卖出一架新钢琴，所以她应该停止给公司写信。几年后，作者拥有自己的钢琴公司，每当作者在那个地方做广告时，作者就会收到老太太寄的那张明信片。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“有一天，我在那附近，做了一个重大决定。”可知，第一段可描写作者决定要送给老太太送一架钢琴，但是作者每月都能收到老太太支付的十美元。 ②由第二段首句内容“20年后，我坐在酒吧里，听到身后最美妙的钢琴声。”可知，第二段可描写作者听到了最美妙的钢琴声，这正是老太太的孙女所弹奏的。 2.续写线索：做决定——送钢琴——每月收到10美元——听到最美妙的钢琴——一位年轻的女士在弹奏——发现这位女士是老太太的孙女——作者很高兴自己当时做了那个决定 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①放下：placed /put ②建议：advised /suggested ③离开：left /went away 情绪类 ①使我惊讶：To my surprise /To my astonishment ②高兴的：glad / pleased / delighted / happy 【点睛】[高分句型1]Despite knowing that it was a terrible business decision, loaded a red mahogany piano onto my little truck.（运用了that引导的宾语从句） [高分句型2] Looking around, I saw a lovely young woman playing a very nice grand piano.（运用了非谓语动词作状语，表示伴随状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $现在是听力试音时间。Hello, international friends club. can I help you?
