The Board plays an important role in influencing the development and delivery of the volunteering service. Its aim is to find volunteering opportunities for students, teachers at school. Volunteering, which has the potential to create positive social impact, is key to school. The Board will ensure that students’ needs are at the core of the service so that all King’s students can make a difference. This year, the Student Advisory Board for Volunteering’s topics include: ● Volunteering opportunities for the disabled. ● Promotion of the Board’s service. ● How to recognize and reward volunteers. ● Comment on the Board’s work. This is a unique and exciting opportunity open to all students at school, no matter how much or how little you have volunteered. The Board will be run both online and in-person, and board members will be paid the London Living Wage (£11.95 per hour) via King’s TalentBank. The application deadline is 23:59 on Friday, 31st March 2023. Apply via the form below, using your school email address. 1. What does the Board aim to do for those at school? A. Perform voluntary work. B. Discover volunteering chances. C. Provide learning opportunities. D. Meet their academic needs. 2. Which of the following is a possible topic for this year’s arrangement? A. Comment on the Board’s performance. B. Training voluntary workers. C Running the Board online. D. Taking care of people with disabilities. 3. Who can apply to be a member of the Board at King’s? A. The teachers. B. The students. C. The graduates. D. The working staff. B Before arriving in China, I had read various books relating to China, and my fascination were increasing. Therefore, when I arrived, I couldn’t have been more excited to be living in this huge historically and culturally rich country. The food, the landmarks, the big cities and everyday life — I couldn’t wait to explore. Yet despite my passion, learning Chinese hadn’t even entered my mind. This wasn’t laziness, but rather fear at the thought of trying to learn what is regarded as the most difficult language in the world. Besides this, I was living in Shanghai, an international city, with many people speaking English as a second language — I decided English would be enough. However, after a year in China I began to observe that while many foreigners did not speak Chinese, there were plenty who did. Perhaps it was achievable after all? In addition, I felt uncomfortable with how many Chinese people could speak English and yet I couldn’t even speak the most basic Chinese. With these factors in mind and a thirst for a new challenge, I decided to begin my language journey and my only regret is that I didn’t start earlier. Learning to speak Chinese isn’t as insurmountable as I once thought. When I speak to native Chinese speakers in Chinese, they almost always understand me, I have also not found it too difficult to remember characters and I am now even able to write over 400 characters. The thing I find most challenging is listening since native speakers talk at such a speed. I can’t always understand what’s been said. My biggest takeaway from learning Chinese is that it’s not only achievable but can also be enjoyable. Learning Chinese not only helped me in day-to-day life, but deepened my cultural understanding of such a fascinating country. So, to all my non-Chinese friends I say this, take up the challenge and take the leap of faith. 4. Why didn’t the author learn Chinese when he arrived in China in 2017? A. He showed no passion for China. B. He was unwilling to make the effort. C. He avoided learning a second language. D. He avoided doing something difficult. 5. What caused the author to learn Chinese? A. His regret about starting learning late. B. Support from many friends around him. C. Eagerness to take up the challenge. D. A thirst to prove his gift for language. 6. What does the underlined word “insurmountable” in the 5th paragraph mean? A. Valueless. B. Difficult. C. Unnecessary. D. Unacceptable. 7. What can we learn from the author’s experience? A. Love breaks down difficulties. B. Hard work pays off. C. Hard work is the key to success. D. Bravery opens up a new world. C Imagine being able to use energy from the sun all the time, even when it’s night. That’s the idea that scientists at Caltech (California Institute of Technology) are exploring. They’re working on collecting sunlight in space and sending its energy to Earth. Caltech’s scientists have created a special tool for this project. They call it MAPLE. MAPLE and two other devices are part of a project that was sent into space in January, 2023. MAPLE’s job is to test the idea of sending energy wirelessly from space to Earth. We’re used to using wires to move electrical energy from one place to another. But sending energy without wires is a lot tougher. The method used by Caltech’s scientists depends on the way waves act when they meet. Imagine two waves coming together as they travel in the same direction. If the tops of the waves line up, they combine to make a bigger wave. But if the top of one wave lines up with the low point of the other, the waves cancel each other out. The Caltech team has found a way to control the timing of lots of microwaves so that they can combine their power, and focus the energy in one direction. It’s a little like using a magnifying (放大的) glass to focus sunlight into a small, hot point of light. To prove that the system could work, MAPLE sent energy to two devices just 30 centimeters away in space. This energy was then turned into electricity, which made two small lights light up. Next, MAPLE sent energy all the way down to a lab at Caltech. The scientists were able to detect the energy, proving that it’s possible to send solar energy to Earth from space. Dr. Hajimiri, one of the project’s leaders, thinks that one day, the system could be extremely useful. He believes that in the future, we’ll be able to send energy to remote regions and areas destroyed by war or natural disaster. 8. What is the challenge in Caltech’s project with MAPLE? A. Wireless energy delivery. B. Sunlight collection in space. C. Sending devices into space. D. Using wires to move electricity. 9. How does the Caltech team focus solar power? A. By using a magnifying glass. B. By managing the timing of microwaves. C. By changing the direction of microwaves. D. By lining up waves in opposite directions. 10. What potential benefit could the system bring in future according to Dr. Hajimiri? A. Warning people of natural disasters. B. Turning solar energy into electricity. C. Delivering energy to places in need. D. Ridding the world of energy shortage. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Use of Solar Energy in Space Exploration. B. The Challenges of Generating Energy Without Wires. C. The Development of a New Tool for Collecting Electricity D. The Possibility of Sending Energy Wirelessly from Space to Earth. D On the streets of Manhattan and Washington, D.C., in neighborhoods in Seoul and parks in Paris, ginkgo (银杏) trees are losing their leaves in response to the first gust of freezing winter air. This leaf drop, gradual at first, and then sudden, carpets streets with golden, fan-shaped leaves. Scientists are documenting evidence of leaf drop happening later and later, a possible result of warmer climate around the world. Thanks to fossils found in North Dakota, scientists found a ginkgo has genetically similar ancestors dating back 170 million years to the Jurassic Period. “It almost went extinct. Then humans rescued it and spread it around the world. It’s such a great evolutionary (进化) and cultural story,” says Peter Crane, a ginkgo expert. One theory for the decline of the ginkgo species began 130 million years ago, when flowering plants began spreading. They grew faster and attracted more pollinators (传粉者) than ginkgos. “It’s possible that ginkgos were elbowed out of the way,” says Crane. Already competing to survive, ginkgos began to disappear during a time of global cooling that began around 66 million years ago. By the time the last ice age ended 11,000 years ago, the remaining survivors were found in China. Ginkgo trees are smelly. “My guess is that they were eaten by animals that liked smelly things. They then passed through their body and grew.” Crane says. Those same seeds may have helped ginkgo find favor with humans 1,000 years ago. Once cleaned of their outer layer, ginkgo seeds are safe to eat. It’s then, when the trees had long since disappeared elsewhere, that people in China may have begun planting them and eating their seeds. Then gradually ginkgos spread across the world. Now it’s seemingly naturally resistant to insects and high levels of air pollution. Crane isn’t worried about its future, though. The popularity of the species will help it survive. “Though its status in the wild may be difficult to access, it’s a plant that’s unlikely to ever go extinct,” he says. 12. What may have caused the further delay of ginkgo’s leaf drop? A. The law of nature. B. The protection of the authority. C. The colder weather in winter. D. The global warming phenomenon. 13. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A The reasons why ginkgos almost died out. B. The advantages of ginkgos over other plants. C. The theories of experts for multiplying ginkgos. D. The competition between various flowering plants. 14. What might have contributed to ginkgos’ survival? A. The careful planting. B. Their eatable seeds. C. Their unpleasant smell. D. The serious air pollution. 15. How does Crane feel about ginkgos’ future? A. Concerned. B. Negative. C. Uncertain. D. Optimistic. 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Supporting Others We’re always being told that the secret to happiness lies in helping others. Indeed, it’s natural to want to support those we care about, especially if we are in a position to do so.___16___ When we offer support, it may not always be wanted. ___17___ In this case, offering support in the manner of “... if l were you, I would ...” can feel like a scolding rather than support. If our support feels conditional, it can feel burdensome. ___18___ When someone is trying to manage illness or a house move, just saying “What would help you today?” can be amazingly supportive. Or, suggest what you can do for them: picking up some shopping, taking the dog for a walk. Even if it’s not needed, just knowing you’ ve been thought of can be supportive in itself. Try to be mindful of offering support that is disabling, rather than enabling. My son, when aged five, wanted to make a cup of tea. I could see how inspiring it was for him to be able to do this. So I filled the kettle and took him through the safety measures. It felt like a huge risk but it worked. His pleasure was immeasurable. The same principle applies when we offer support that increases someone else’s capacity. ___19___ Sometimes the only support that’s needed is to listen without judgement. ___20___ This reassures them that someone cares enough to listen while they ground themselves. When times are tough, remember to keep things stable. Waiting until the storm has passed is all it takes. Support often works best when it’s a two-way process. It is good to know how to accept help from others as well as offer support to them. A. Here are the pros and cons of supporting others. B. Just be there, while someone lets out their feelings. C. Ask what support is needed and provide a practical one. D. This can often be a bigger gift than just doing it for them. E. But we can do more by thinking about the support we offer. F. Because being judgmental can only make someone annoyed. G. Sometimes people are trying to manage life in their own way. 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。 Baby Miloszek was born with a heart defect.

Tom was 11 years old. He was tall, dark and handsome and had a lot of dreams. He had always dreamt of living in a city. He was always his dad’s charm, as he was not quite happy to spend time with his mom. All he could remember about his mom was her scars, red and white scars on her face, neck and hands. He always felt unpleasant to see his mom’s face. But what he did not know was that his mom scratched her beauty to save him from a fire when he was one year old. Not wanting to burden him with it, Tom’s parents kept it a secret. His mom Maria used to drop him to school and pick him up every day. He felt awkward to see his mom with that scarred face standing in front of the school gate. As he was laughing and chatting with his fellow schoolmates, all of them became silent and started staring at the gate. So, Tom turned towards the gate with a lot of curiosity. He froze when seeing his mom, face covered with a piece of cloth. Tom felt ashamed and rushed out of the school with lots of anger. With days passing by, Tom started to dislike his mom more. He did not like to get picked up or dropped by his mom. He felt that she was ugly and so abnormal. As he grew old, he stopped going out with her to the market or anywhere outside. Kamala tried her best to make her son happy, got him everything that he wanted and gave him his space. She understood what her son was going through and felt pity for herself and sad for her son, as she was helpless. When Tom turned 16, he was sent to a city high school 80 kilometers away from his coastal village. The very thought of not being with his ugly mother made him very happy. Three years later, then came Tom’s graduation ceremony. His parents didn’t want to be absent from such an important occasion, so they managed to be there without informing Tom. 注意：1.续写词数应为150 左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Tom was shocked when he saw his parents appear at the ceremony hall _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hesitating for a moment, Tom’s father told him everything that happened many years ago. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高二英语3月考 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。对话内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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。每段对话读两遍。 1.

That’s the idea that scientists at Caltech (California Institute of Technology) are exploring. They’re working on collecting sunlight in space and sending its energy to Earth. Caltech’s scientists have created a special tool for this project. They call it MAPLE. MAPLE and two other devices are part of a project that was sent into space in January 2023. MAPLE’s job is to test the idea of sending energy wirelessly from space to Earth. We’re used to using wires to move electrical energy from one place to another. But sending energy without wires is a lot tougher. The method used by Caltech’s scientists depends on the way waves act when they meet. Imagine two waves coming together as they travel in the same direction. If the tops of the waves line up, they combine to make a bigger wave. But if the top of one wave lines up with the low point of the other, the waves cancel each other out. The Caltech team has found a way to control the timing of lots of microwaves so that they can combine their power, and focus the energy in one direction. It’s a little like using a magnifying (放大的) glass to focus sunlight into a small, hot point of light. To prove that the system could work, MAPLE sent energy to two devices just 30 centimeters away in space. This energy was then turned into electricity, which made two small lights light up. Next, MAPLE sent energy all the way down to a lab at Caltech. The scientists were able to detect the energy, proving that it’s possible to send solar energy to Earth from space. Dr. Hajimiri, one of the project’s leaders, thinks that one day, the system could be extremely useful. He believes that in the future, we’ll be able to send energy to remote regions and areas destroyed by war or natural disaster. 8. What is the challenge in Caltech’s project with MAPLE? A. Wireless energy delivery. B. Sunlight collection in space. C. Sending devices into space. D. Using wires to move electricity. 9. How does the Caltech team focus solar power? A. By using a magnifying glass. B. By managing the timing of microwaves. C. By changing the direction of microwaves. D. By lining up waves in opposite directions. 10. What potential benefit could the system bring in future according to Dr. Hajimiri? A. Warning people of natural disasters. B. Turning solar energy into electricity. C. Delivering energy to places in need. D. Ridding the world of energy shortage. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Use of Solar Energy in Space Exploration. B. The Challenges of Generating Energy Without Wires. C. The Development of a New Tool for Collecting Electricity D. The Possibility of Sending Energy Wirelessly from Space to Earth. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了加州理工学院 (Caltech) 的科学家正在探索从太空中收集阳光并将其能量发送回地球的想法，他们为此创造了一个特殊工具MAPLE，并解释了MAPLE如何通过控制微波的时机来聚焦能量。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“MAPLE’s job is to test the idea of sending energy wirelessly from space to Earth.

He believes that in the future, we’ll be able to send energy to remote regions and areas destroyed by war or natural disaster.(该项目的领导者之一，Hajimiri博士认为，有朝一日，这项系统将极具应用价值。他相信在未来，我们将能够向偏远地区以及遭受战争或自然灾害破坏的区域输送能源)”可知，根据Hajimiri博士的说法，这个系统在未来会向急需能源的地区输送能源。故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。结合全文及文章第一段“Imagine being able to use energy from the sun all the time, even when it’s night. That’s the idea that scientists at Caltech (California Institute of Technology) are exploring. They’re working on collecting sunlight in space and sending its energy to Earth.(想象一下，即使在夜晚，也能持续利用太阳能。这就是加州理工学院(California Institute of Technology，简称Caltech)的科学家们正在探索的想法。他们正在进行一项收集太空中的阳光，并将其能量传输回地球的研究)”可知，文章主要讨论了使用Caltech科学家创造的特殊工具MAPLE从太空向地球无线传输能源的可能性，故D项“从太空向地球无线传输能量的可能性)”适合作为文章的标题。故选D项。 D On the streets of Manhattan and Washington, D.C., in neighborhoods in Seoul and parks in Paris, ginkgo (银杏) trees are losing their leaves in response to the first gust of freezing winter air. This leaf drop, gradual at first, and then sudden, carpets streets with golden, fan-shaped leaves. Scientists are documenting evidence of leaf drop happening later and later, a possible result of warmer climate around the world. Thanks to fossils found in North Dakota, scientists found a ginkgo has genetically similar ancestors dating back 170 million years to the Jurassic Period. “It almost went extinct. Then humans rescued it and spread it around the world. It’s such a great evolutionary (进化) and cultural story,” says Peter Crane, a ginkgo expert. One theory for the decline of the ginkgo species began 130 million years ago, when flowering plants began spreading. They grew faster and attracted more pollinators (传粉者) than ginkgos. “It’s possible that ginkgos were elbowed out of the way,” says Crane. Already competing to survive, ginkgos began to disappear during a time of global cooling that began around 66 million years ago. By the time the last ice age ended 11,000 years ago, the remaining survivors were found in China. Ginkgo trees are smelly. “My guess is that they were eaten by animals that liked smelly things. They then passed through their body and grew.” Crane says. Those same seeds may have helped ginkgo find favor with humans 1,000 years ago. Once cleaned of their outer layer, ginkgo seeds are safe to eat. It’s then, when the trees had long since disappeared elsewhere, that people in China may have begun planting them and eating their seeds. Then gradually ginkgos spread across the world. Now it’s seemingly naturally resistant to insects and high levels of air pollution. Crane isn’t worried about its future, though. The popularity of the species will help it survive. “Though its status in the wild may be difficult to access, it’s a plant that’s unlikely to ever go extinct,” he says. 12. What may have caused the further delay of ginkgo’s leaf drop? A. The law of nature. B. The protection of the authority. C. The colder weather in winter. D. The global warming phenomenon. 13. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The reasons why ginkgos almost died out. B. The advantages of ginkgos over other plants. C. The theories of experts for multiplying ginkgos. D. The competition between various flowering plants. 14. What might have contributed to ginkgos’ survival? A. The careful planting. B. Their eatable seeds. C. Their unpleasant smell. D. The serious air pollution. 15. How does Crane feel about ginkgos’ future? A. Concerned. B. Negative. C. Uncertain. D. Optimistic. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了银杏树的进化历史、生存挑战及其与人类的文化联系，指出全球变暖可能影响其落叶时间，并强调了银杏因人类喜爱而不太可能灭绝。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Scientists are documenting evidence of leaf drop happening later and later, a possible result of warmer climate around the world.(科学家们正在记录下落叶时间越来越晚的现象，这可能是全球气候变暖带来的后果)”可知，全球变暖现象可能是导致银杏落叶时间进一步推迟的原因。故选D项。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“One theory for the decline of the ginkgo species began 130 million years ago, when flowering plants began spreading. They grew faster and attracted more pollinators than ginkgos. “It’s possible that ginkgos were elbowed out of the way,” says Crane. Already competing to survive, ginkgos began to disappear during a time of global cooling that began around 66 million years ago. By the time the last ice age ended 11,000 years ago, the remaining survivors were found in China.(关于银杏物种衰落的一种理论始于大约1亿3000万年前，当时开花植物开始扩散。它们比银杏生长得更快，吸引的传粉者也更多。“银杏可能就是在那时被挤出了生存空间。”克莱恩说。在已经为生存而竞争的背景下，银杏在约6600万年前全球降温开始时，数量开始锐减。到1万1千年前最后一个冰河时代结束时，仅在中国发现了幸存的银杏)”可知，本段主要讲述了银杏树几乎灭绝的原因，包括与其他植物的竞争以及全球变冷等因素。故选A项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“Those same seeds may have helped ginkgo find favor with humans 1,000 years ago. Once cleaned of their outer layer, ginkgo seeds are safe to eat. It’s then, when the trees had long since disappeared elsewhere, that people in China may have begun planting them and eating their seeds. Then gradually ginkgos spread across the world.(那些同样的种子或许帮助银杏在大约1000年前赢得了人类的青睐。一旦清理掉外层，银杏种子就可以安全食用。正是在这个时候，当银杏早已在其他地方消失的时候，中国人可能开始种植银杏树，并食用它们的种子。之后，银杏逐渐遍布全球)”可知，银杏树能够生存下来，部分原因是因为它们的种子可以被人类食用。故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Crane isn’t worried about its future, though. The popularity of the species will help it survive. “Though its status in the wild may be difficult to access, it’s a plant that’s unlikely to ever go extinct,” he says.(然而，克莱恩并不担心银杏的未来。该物种的受欢迎程度将帮助它存活下去。“虽然野生状态下的状况可能难以评估，但它是一种不太可能灭绝的植物，”他说)”可推知，专家克莱恩对银杏树的未来并不担心，持有乐观态度。故选D项。 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Supporting Others We’re always being told that the secret to happiness lies in helping others. Indeed, it’s natural to want to support those we care about, especially if we are in a position to do so.___16___ When we offer support, it may not always be wanted. ___17___ In this case, offering support in the manner of “... if l were you, I would ...” can feel like a scolding rather than support. If our support feels conditional, it can feel burdensome. ___18___ When someone is trying to manage illness or a house move, just saying “What would help you today?” can be amazingly supportive. Or, suggest what you can do for them: picking up some shopping, taking the dog for a walk. Even if it’s not needed, just knowing you’ ve been thought of can be supportive in itself. Try to be mindful of offering support that is disabling, rather than enabling. My son, when aged five, wanted to make a cup of tea. I could see how inspiring it was for him to be able to do this. So I filled the kettle and took him through the safety measures. It felt like a huge risk but it worked. His pleasure was immeasurable. The same principle applies when we offer support that increases someone else’s capacity. ___19___ Sometimes the only support that’s needed is to listen without judgement. ___20___ This reassures them that someone cares enough to listen while they ground themselves. When times are tough, remember to keep things stable. Waiting until the storm has passed is all it takes. Support often works best when it’s a two-way process. It is good to know how to accept help from others as well as offer support to them. A. Here are the pros and cons of supporting others. B. Just be there, while someone lets out their feelings. C. Ask what support is needed and provide a practical one. D. This can often be a bigger gift than just doing it for them. E. But we can do more by thinking about the support we offer. F. Because being judgmental can only make someone annoyed. G. Sometimes people are trying to manage life in their own way. 【答案】16. E 17. G 18. C 19. D 20.

Despite 43. standing 44. have been made 45. but 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了打树花这一传统民间表演的起源、发展、现状以及传承情况。 【36题详解】 考查副词。句意：打树花，字面意思是“击打铁花”，是一种传统民间表演，它用类似于树冠的灿烂火花使观众眼花缭乱。空处修饰空后的整个句子，应该用副词形式，literal的副词形式是literally。故填literally。 【37题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：打树花于2021年被认定为国家非物质文化遗产，其起源可追溯到河北省暖泉镇，那里有一个繁荣的古老产业：武器铸造。空处引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词Nuanquan town，且关系词在从句中作地点状语，所以应该用关系副词where引导。故填where。 【38题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：在日常实践中，当地铁匠发现，将熔融的铁用力扔到冷墙上会爆发出壮观的火花。空处是非谓语动词，在句中作后置定语，修饰名词molten iron，且throw和molten iron之间是被动关系，所以应该用过去分词形式。故填thrown。 【39题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：如今，为了容纳越来越多的游客，许多景区也上演了表演。空处是非谓语动词，在句中作目的状语，所以应该用动词不定式形式。故填to accommodate。 【40题详解】 考查冠词。句意：61岁的铁匠、民间艺术传承人王德，40多年来一直在创作这一壮观的表演。空处修饰名词blacksmith，表示泛指，且61-year-old的发音以辅音音素开头，所以应该用不定冠词a。故填a。 【41题详解】 考查名词。句意：王说：“每一步不仅需要精确和细心，还需要勇气和力量。”空处和care并列作need的宾语，所以应该用名词形式，accurate的名词形式是accuracy，意为“精确”。故填accuracy。 【42题详解】 考查介词。句意：尽管工艺精湛，但受伤是常有的事。空处和后面的名词短语构成介词短语作状语，根据句意可知，此处表示“尽管”，所以应该用介词despite，且空处位于句首，首字母应大写。故填Despite。 【43题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：表演通常会让技艺高超的艺术家们的衣服上布满洞，而观众则安全地站在50米外，对耀眼的火花惊叹不已。空处是非谓语动词，在句中作状语，stand和其逻辑主语the audience之间是主动关系，所以应该用现在分词形式。故填standing。 【44题详解】 考查动词时态和语态。句意：最近，当地通过旅游、教育和培训项目来推广这一传统。空处是句子的谓语，根据时间状语Recently可知，句子应该用现在完成时，且主语efforts和make之间是被动关系，所以应该用现在完成时的被动语态，且主语是复数名词，所以助动词用have。故填have been made。 【45题详解】 考查连词。句意：打树花不仅是一种奇观，更是对其表演者的勇气、技能和毅力的证明。分析句子结构可知，not just...but...为固定搭配，意为“不仅……而且……”，所以空处应该用连词but。故填but。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 假如你是李华，正在主持学校英语戏剧表演大赛(English Play Contest)的颁奖活动，请为获得第一名的Darcy团队的戏剧表演写一则颁奖词, 内容包括: 1. 表示祝贺； 2. 获奖原因。 注意: 1, 写作词数应为100左右; Dear all, _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Dear all, I would like to extend my warmest congratulations to Darcy team for winning the first prize in the English Play Contest.

Tom was 11 years old. He was tall, dark and handsome and had a lot of dreams. He had always dreamt of living in a city. He was always his dad’s charm, as he was not quite happy to spend time with his mom. All he could remember about his mom was her scars, red and white scars on her face, neck and hands. He always felt unpleasant to see his mom’s face. But what he did not know was that his mom scratched her beauty to save him from a fire when he was one year old. Not wanting to burden him with it, Tom’s parents kept it a secret. His mom Maria used to drop him to school and pick him up every day. He felt awkward to see his mom with that scarred face standing in front of the school gate. As he was laughing and chatting with his fellow schoolmates, all of them became silent and started staring at the gate. So, Tom turned towards the gate with a lot of curiosity. He froze when seeing his mom, face covered with a piece of cloth. Tom felt ashamed and rushed out of the school with lots of anger. With days passing by, Tom started to dislike his mom more. He did not like to get picked up or dropped by his mom. He felt that she was ugly and so abnormal. As he grew old, he stopped going out with her to the market or anywhere outside. Kamala tried her best to make her son happy, got him everything that he wanted and gave him his space. She understood what her son was going through and felt pity for herself and sad for her son, as she was helpless. When Tom turned 16, he was sent to a city high school 80 kilometers away from his coastal village. The very thought of not being with his ugly mother made him very happy. Three years later, then came Tom’s graduation ceremony. His parents didn’t want to be absent from such an important occasion, so they managed to be there without informing Tom. 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。 Tom was shocked when he saw his parents appear at the ceremony hall. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hesitating for a moment, Tom’s father told him everything that happened many years ago. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Possible version: Tom was shocked when he saw his parents appear at the ceremony hall. He stood rooted to the floor for a moment, not knowing what to do. Seconds later, he tried to contain himself and awkwardly walked up to greet his father, ignoring his mother’s existence. But when he heard others whispering about his mum’s ugly face, embarrassment came over him. With anger written all on his face, he pushed his mum hard out of the hall. Seeing Tom’s mum leave with deep sorrow, his father followed her out. Hesitating for a moment, Tom’s father told him everything that happened many years ago. His mum got burnt severely to save him in a terrible fire. Tears streamed down his face when he recollected how much he had hurt her all these years, how he had ignored her and he realized the amount of pain and agony she had gone through. After the ceremony, he found his mum and embraced her, saying “Sorry” again and again. From then on, he thought of his mom’s face even with scars as the most beautiful face in the world and his mom as the most respected woman in the world. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为主要线索展开。Tom十一岁了，他一点都不喜欢和妈妈玩，因为妈妈的脸上，脖子上还有手上全都是红色白色的伤疤。Tom也不喜欢让妈妈送他上学、接他放学，他害怕同学们异样的眼光和窃窃私语。父母为了不让他有负担，没有告诉他，妈妈的美貌是在火中救一岁的 Tom 的时候失去的。后来Tom去市里上高中，他因为不用再和丑陋的妈妈一起生活而感到开心。一转眼Tom要毕业了，父母不想缺席毕业典礼，没有告诉儿子，就来到了他的毕业典礼上。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当Tom看到他的父母到达仪式大厅时，他很震惊。”可知，第一段可描写Tom的反应和做法，他很生气，努力地控制着自己，走向爸爸跟前，但是听到别人议论妈妈的外表，他把妈妈推出了仪式大厅，看到妈妈伤心地离开，爸爸跟了出去。 ②由第二段首句内容“父亲犹豫了一下，把多年前发生的一切都告诉了他。”可知，第二段可描写Tom得知真相后感到后悔，从此以后不再因为妈妈的伤疤而疏远妈妈。 2.续写线索：和父亲打招呼——尴尬——生气地把妈妈推出去——父亲解释——懊悔——道歉——改变 3.词汇积累 行为类 ①一动不动地站着：stand rooted to the floor/stand rooted to the spot/stand still/stand motionless ②压制住自己：contain oneself/keep one’s temper/hold one’s temper ③拥抱：embrace/hug 情绪类 ①尴尬：embarrassment/awkwardness ②生气：angry/fury 【点睛】[高分句型1].Seconds later, he tried to contain himself and awkwardly walked up to greet his father, ignoring his mother’s existence. (运用了现在分词作状语) [高分句型2].Tears streamed down his face when he recollected how much he had hurt her all these years, how he had ignored her and he realized the amount of pain and agony she had gone through. (运用了when引导的时间状语从句，how much和 how引导的宾语从句，以及省略that的定语从句修饰先行词pain and agony) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
