B “Are you okay?” My brother Matthew asked from the driver’s seat as we hung upside down, trapped by our seat belts and covered in sand. Off-roading on 85, 000 acres of dunes (沙丘) in California had become our tradition. I felt the blood rushing to my head, my heart pounding like the loud bass (低音吉他) in a car. It reminded me of the four bass-loving brothers who lived across from us growing up. As a little girl, I often wondered if Matthew and I would ever have their friendship. When Matthew found out he was to have a baby brother, he was over the moon. But to everyone’s surprise, “It’s a girl! ” His disappointment was obvious. As soon as I could walk, my big brother was everything to me, my idol. But to him, I was an annoyance, though he found comfort in tormenting (捉弄) me. Yet, I put up with it, waiting for moments when he’d reach out from his loneliness. The sibling relationship is unique, and it’s often the longest relationship we have in our entire lives. After learning that I missed him, Matthew unexpectedly invited me to visit him at university. In his room, he handed me a drink. We didn’t need many words; as siblings, we had a simple way of chatting. He knew about my struggles — the family secrets — and became my rock. When I was excluded from the family Thanksgiving, he refused to attend without me. Instead, we had dinner — just the two of us. My big brother, once a tormentor, had become my protector and friend. But after our off-roading accident, I saw him differently — vulnerable and unprotected. “Are you okay? Are you bleeding? ” I checked his injuries. The man I’d seen as strong was now human, fragile. As we got ourselves back upright, I realized it was time for me to be his protector. Our shared bond had grown even deeper. I looked at my big brother, and we both smiled. Without him, my life would be unimaginably different. It was my turn to protect him. Thankfully, we had let each other in. 4. Why did the author mention the four bass-loving brothers in the first paragraph? A. To highlight her admiration for their musical taste. B. To show her childhood longing for brotherly friendship. C. To explain the reason for her initial distance from Mathew. D. To illustrate the noisy environment of their childhood. 5. Why did the author think Matthew became her rock? A. He was excluded from the family Thanksgiving. B. He knew his own struggles and family secrets. C. He supported me when I was not included in the family gathering. D. He refused to attend the family Thanksgiving party with me. 6. Which of the following can best describe Matthew? A. Creative and brave B. Ambitious and romantic C. Thoughtful and protective D. Courageous and humorous 7. Which is the best title of the passage? A. Off-roading Adventure in California’s Dunes B. Sibling Bonds: From Torment to Protection C. Family Secrets and Thanksgiving Celebrations D. Unexpected Challenges of Brotherhood C Many people live with chronic (慢性) pain, and there’re complex reasons for it. Now a new study researcher Laura Case of the University of California, San Diego, co-authoring with Jennifer Baumgartner, suggests a new potential influence on pain: feeling socially connected. This new study reanalyzed measures collected in an earlier study, in which a group of chronic pain sufferers had been randomly arranged an intervention (干预) shown to reduce pain (sleeping with a heavily-weighted blanket) or to a control condition(sleeping with a slightly-weighted blanket). After sleeping with their blankets for a week, changes in people’s pain levels were assessed. In the earlier study, the pain sufferers had also reported on their anxiety, levels of loneliness, and sense of social connectedness—not how many social connections they had, but how generally close they were to other people and how strongly they experienced a sense of belonging. But these hadn’t all been analyzed to see how they related to pain and pain relief from the blankets. That’s where the new study came in. The new findings showed that people who were more socially connected experienced less pain than those who were less socially connected. After taking into account differences in how much pain relief the sufferers expected and how painful they felt in the beginning, those who were socially disconnected felt more pain relief from the weighted blanket than from the lighter blanket, while more socially connected people received equal pain relief from both blankets. These findings show that having a sense of belonging provides some level of protection against pain. Why? Socially connected people probably feel safer and less anxious, says Baumgartner, because they know they can depend on others for support when they’re hurting. Besides, positive social touch—like receiving a friendly hug or massage—has been shown to reduce pain feel, and people who’re more socially connected likely experience more of those types of touch, Case adds. Their study adds to a growing body of research showing how important social connectedness and social touch are for our health and happiness—something that’s been getting more attention in recent years. 8. What did the new study mainly focus on? A. The participants’ pain levels. B. The effects of social connections on pain. C. The different interventions. D. The participants’ similar sense of belonging. 9. What can be learnt from the new study? A. Being socially disconnected worsened people’s pain. B. People having more social connections experienced no pain. C. People’s initial pain levels had few effects on the participants. D. The weighted blanket benefited those socially disconnected a lot. 10. What does Case probably suggest people do in paragraph 5? A. Compete with each other. B. Avoid too much touch. C. Hug their friends more. D. Control their feelings. 11. From which section of the newspaper is the text probably taken? A. Health. B. Technology. C. Environment. D. People. D Most of us would like to be more creative, but we assume there is little we can do about it. Psychology professor K. Anders Ericsson claims that with enough practice, any of us can become experts. However, he is quick to add that this requires a specific kind of practice that Ericsson calls “deliberate practice”, that is, pushing beyond one’s comfort zone and setting goals that are above one’s current level of performance. He says he has yet to find the limits on being successful and he doesn’t believe them to be real. Ericsson has looked primarily at artistic and athletic skills, but can these findings apply to creativity? Most experts agree that even if most people cannot hope to become creative geniuses, they can learn to become more creative through practice. Psychologists claim that there are actually two levels of creativity, which they refer to as “Big C” and “small c”. Big C creativity applies to breakthrough ideas, ones that may change the course of a field or even history. Small c creativity refers to everyday creative problem solving, like creating a new recipe or improving a process, which psychologists subdivide further into similar and different thinking. Similar thinking involves examining all the facts and arriving at a single solution. In contrast, different thinking involves coming up with many possible solutions. What most people think of as creativity generally involves different thinking and can be taught, practised and learnt. Even with practice, different thinking alone cannot make one creative, however. Scott Barry Kaufman, a cognitive psychologist, says that most creative people share one personality quality: openness to new experience. Since this quality and these processes have been identified, less creative people can try to emulate them. Normally, we tend to reproduce what we already know because creative ideas move us into unfamiliar territory involving risks and following the usual behaviors is comfortable. Moving outside of our comfort zone, engaging indeliberate practice and tolerating contradictory ideas, risk and failure are all things we can learn to do better. It is unlikely that doing so will transform any of us into creative geniuses, but it does have the potential to increase our level of creativity. 12. Why does Ericsson think he can’t find the limits? A. No restrictions exist. B. Practice makes perfect. C. Each one can succeed. D. The goal is ambitious. 13. Which of the following is an example of “small c”? A. Settling in outer space. B. Building a plastic doghouse. C. Developing robots to look after the old. D. Explaining the theory of evolution in class. 14. What does the underlined word “emulate” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Defend. B. Limit. C. Assess. D. Copy. 15. What message does the author seem to convey in the text? A. We can learn to be more creative. B. Life is full of various challenges. C. It’s better to take deliberate practice. D. Most can become creative geniuses. 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。 I grew up in Sichuan, but I only learned to cook surprisingly late in life, after moving to Germany when I began missing the taste of home.

Johnny stood on the top of Broomstick Hill and took great, happy gulps (大口吸) of the sunny air and the cool smell of new things growing. It was not a day for sitting around. No sir. Johnny was off for a hike and a day of adventure! He threw over his shoulders his backpack, dug his hands in his pockets and started down Broomstick Hill. When passing by the Professor’s house, he stopped short. There, on the water of the Professor’s pond were two wild ducks. They were black, with touches of brownish yellow, and they swam like anything. “Hi, Johnny!” smiled the Professor, “I’ve tidied up the pond for these two newcomers. The fat one is Stuffer and the one standing on his head in the water is Diver.” Johnny smiled back. He liked seeing the Professor’s pond — it was always clear and bright. And he liked the Professor. Winter or summer, spring or fall, he was always doing something interesting, something to do with birds, or bugs or animals. After saying goodbye to the Professor, Johnny started down the hill again. He walked on and on and then came a loud, unusual sound! Johnny looked up. There, high above his head, was a long line of ducks. They quacked (嘎嘎叫), beat the air with their wings and flew high and proud right through the blue spring sky. One lonely duck was left, though, for it could not fly. Walking closer, Johnny saw its shiny brown feathers, a yellowish bill and a twisted (变形的) wing — that was why it could only swim slowly. But seeing it slide lazily on the water, Johnny knew it was the most beautiful duck he had ever seen. He took some biscuits from his backpack and dropped in the water. Next second, the duck stretched down and up and the biscuits were all gone! Then a Fourth-of-July-sort-of-idea exploded inside Johnny’s head. He would catch that duck and bring it home! It would be his own duck to keep! 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。 Johnny dropped his last piece of biscuit into the water. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With the poor duck in his hands, Johnny sighed and headed to the Professor’s. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高二英语阶段性检测 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，录音内容结束后，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。每段录音读两遍。 1.

As soon as I could walk, my big brother was everything to me, my idol. But to him, I was an annoyance, though he found comfort in tormenting (捉弄) me. Yet, I put up with it, waiting for moments when he’d reach out from his loneliness. The sibling relationship is unique, and it’s often the longest relationship we have in our entire lives. After learning that I missed him, Matthew unexpectedly invited me to visit him at university. In his room, he handed me a drink. We didn’t need many words; as siblings, we had a simple way of chatting. He knew about my struggles — the family secrets — and became my rock. When I was excluded from the family Thanksgiving, he refused to attend without me. Instead, we had dinner — just the two of us. My big brother, once a tormentor, had become my protector and friend. But after our off-roading accident, I saw him differently — vulnerable and unprotected. “Are you okay? Are you bleeding? ” I checked his injuries. The man I’d seen as strong was now human, fragile. As we got ourselves back upright, I realized it was time for me to be his protector. Our shared bond had grown even deeper. I looked at my big brother, and we both smiled. Without him, my life would be unimaginably different. It was my turn to protect him. Thankfully, we had let each other in. 4. Why did the author mention the four bass-loving brothers in the first paragraph? A. To highlight her admiration for their musical taste. B. To show her childhood longing for brotherly friendship. C. To explain the reason for her initial distance from Mathew. D. To illustrate the noisy environment of their childhood. 5. Why did the author think Matthew became her rock? A. He was excluded from the family Thanksgiving. B. He knew his own struggles and family secrets. C. He supported me when I was not included in the family gathering. D. He refused to attend the family Thanksgiving party with me. 6. Which of the following can best describe Matthew? A. Creative and brave B. Ambitious and romantic C. Thoughtful and protective D. Courageous and humorous 7. Which is the best title of the passage? A. Off-roading Adventure in California’s Dunes B. Sibling Bonds: From Torment to Protection C. Family Secrets and Thanksgiving Celebrations D. Unexpected Challenges of Brotherhood 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者与哥哥马修之间关系从捉弄走向相互保护的历程，其中穿插越野事故、家庭活动等情节，展现了深厚的兄妹情谊。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“As a little girl, I often wondered if Matthew and I would ever have their friendship.(作为一个小女孩，我常常想我和马修是否能拥有他们那样的友谊)可知，作者提到那四个热爱贝斯的兄弟，是为了表明她童年对兄弟间友好情谊的向往。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“He knew about my struggles — the family secrets — and became my rock. When I was excluded from the family Thanksgiving, he refused to attend without me. Instead, we had dinner — just the two of us.(他知晓我的艰难处境——那些家庭秘密——并成为我的依靠。当我被排除在家庭感恩节活动之外时，他拒绝在没有我的情况下参加。相反，我们俩一起吃了晚餐)”可知，因为在作者被家庭聚会排斥时，马修给予支持，所以作者认为马修是她的依靠。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“He knew about my struggles — the family secrets — and became my rock. When I was excluded from the family Thanksgiving, he refused to attend without me. Instead, we had dinner — just the two of us.(他知晓我的艰难处境——那些家庭秘密——并成为我的依靠。当我被排除在家庭感恩节活动之外时，他拒绝在没有我的情况下参加。相反，我们俩一起吃了晚餐)”可看出，马修体贴且有保护欲。故选C项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第六段“My big brother, once a tormentor, had become my protector and friend. But after our off-roading accident, I saw him differently — vulnerable and unprotected. “Are you okay? Are you bleeding? ” I checked his injuries. The man I’d seen as strong was now human, fragile.(我的哥哥，曾经是那个爱捉弄我的人，如今已成为我的保护者和朋友。但在我们这次越野事故之后，我对他有了不同的看法——他变得脆弱无助。“你还好吗？有没有流血？”我查看他的伤势。曾经我眼中那个强壮的男人，此刻也显露出凡人的一面，如此脆弱。）可知，呈现了兄妹情谊从捉弄走向相互保护的过程。B选项“Sibling Bonds: From Torment to Protection(兄妹情谊：从捉弄走向保护)”为最佳标题。选B项。 C Many people live with chronic (慢性) pain, and there’re complex reasons for it. Now a new study researcher Laura Case of the University of California, San Diego, co-authoring with Jennifer Baumgartner, suggests a new potential influence on pain: feeling socially connected. This new study reanalyzed measures collected in an earlier study, in which a group of chronic pain sufferers had been randomly arranged an intervention (干预) shown to reduce pain (sleeping with a heavily-weighted blanket) or to a control condition(sleeping with a slightly-weighted blanket). After sleeping with their blankets for a week, changes in people’s pain levels were assessed. In the earlier study, the pain sufferers had also reported on their anxiety, levels of loneliness, and sense of social connectedness—not how many social connections they had, but how generally close they were to other people and how strongly they experienced a sense of belonging. But these hadn’t all been analyzed to see how they related to pain and pain relief from the blankets. That’s where the new study came in. The new findings showed that people who were more socially connected experienced less pain than those who were less socially connected. After taking into account differences in how much pain relief the sufferers expected and how painful they felt in the beginning, those who were socially disconnected felt more pain relief from the weighted blanket than from the lighter blanket, while more socially connected people received equal pain relief from both blankets. These findings show that having a sense of belonging provides some level of protection against pain. Why? Socially connected people probably feel safer and less anxious, says Baumgartner, because they know they can depend on others for support when they’re hurting. Besides, positive social touch—like receiving a friendly hug or massage—has been shown to reduce pain feel, and people who’re more socially connected likely experience more of those types of touch, Case adds. Their study adds to a growing body of research showing how important social connectedness and social touch are for our health and happiness—something that’s been getting more attention in recent years. 8. What did the new study mainly focus on? A. The participants’ pain levels. B. The effects of social connections on pain. C. The different interventions. D. The participants’ similar sense of belonging. 9. What can be learnt from the new study? A. Being socially disconnected worsened people’s pain. B. People having more social connections experienced no pain. C. People’s initial pain levels had few effects on the participants. D. The weighted blanket benefited those socially disconnected a lot. 10. What does Case probably suggest people do in paragraph 5? A. Compete with each other. B. Avoid too much touch. C. Hug their friends more. D. Control their feelings. 11. From which section of the newspaper is the text probably taken? A. Health. B. Technology. C. Environment. D. People. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了一项新的研究发现社会联系会缓解慢性疼痛，解释了研究开展的经过以及研究的发现。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Now a new study researcher Laura Case of the University of California, San Diego, co-authoring with Jennifer Baumgartner, suggests a new potential influence on pain: feeling socially connected.(现在，加州大学圣地亚哥分校的研究员Laura Case与Jennifer Baumgartner合著了一项新研究，提出了一种新的对疼痛的潜在影响：社会联系感)”和第三段“and sense of social connectedness—not how many social connections they had, but how generally close they were to other people and how strongly they experienced a sense of belonging. But these hadn’t all been analyzed to see how they related to pain and pain relief from the blankets. That’s where the new study came in.(不是他们有多少社会联系，而是他们与他人的亲密程度，以及他们感受到的归属感有多强烈。但这些并没有被全部分析，以了解它们与毯子带来的疼痛和疼痛缓解有何关系。这就是新研究的切入点)”可知，新研究重点分析了社会联系对疼痛的影响。故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“After taking into account differences in how much pain relief the sufferers expected and how painful they felt in the beginning, those who were socially disconnected felt more pain relief from the weighted blanket than from the lighter blanket, while more socially connected people received equal pain relief from both blankets.(在考虑了患者期望的疼痛缓解程度和他们一开始感受到的疼痛程度的差异后，那些与社会脱节的人从加重的毯子上感受到的疼痛缓解比从较轻的毯子上感受到的疼痛缓解更多，而与社会联系更紧密的人从两种毯子上得到的疼痛缓解是一样的)”可推断，加重的毯子更有利于社会联系不多的人。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Besides, positive social touch—like receiving a friendly hug or massage—has been shown to reduce pain feel, and people who’re more socially connected likely experience more of those types of touch, Case adds.(此外，积极的社交接触——比如接受一个友好的拥抱或按摩——已经被证明可以减轻疼痛感，而且社交联系更紧密的人可能会经历更多这种类型的接触，凯斯补充道)”可推断，Case 有可能建议人们多拥抱他们的朋友。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Now a new study researcher Laura Case of the University of California, San Diego, co-authoring with Jennifer Baumgartner, suggests a new potential influence on pain: feeling socially connected.(现在，加州大学圣地亚哥分校的研究员Laura Case与Jennifer Baumgartner合著了一项新研究，提出了一种新的对疼痛的潜在影响：社会联系感)”结合下文介绍研究开展的经过以及研究的发现可知，本文与个人健康有关。故文章最有可能出现在报纸的“健康”版块。故选A。 D Most of us would like to be more creative, but we assume there is little we can do about it. Psychology professor K. Anders Ericsson claims that with enough practice, any of us can become experts. However, he is quick to add that this requires a specific kind of practice that Ericsson calls “deliberate practice”, that is, pushing beyond one’s comfort zone and setting goals that are above one’s current level of performance. He says he has yet to find the limits on being successful and he doesn’t believe them to be real. Ericsson has looked primarily at artistic and athletic skills, but can these findings apply to creativity? Most experts agree that even if most people cannot hope to become creative geniuses, they can learn to become more creative through practice. Psychologists claim that there are actually two levels of creativity, which they refer to as “Big C” and “small c”. Big C creativity applies to breakthrough ideas, ones that may change the course of a field or even history. Small c creativity refers to everyday creative problem solving, like creating a new recipe or improving a process, which psychologists subdivide further into similar and different thinking. Similar thinking involves examining all the facts and arriving at a single solution. In contrast, different thinking involves coming up with many possible solutions. What most people think of as creativity generally involves different thinking and can be taught, practised and learnt. Even with practice, different thinking alone cannot make one creative, however. Scott Barry Kaufman, a cognitive psychologist, says that most creative people share one personality quality: openness to new experience. Since this quality and these processes have been identified, less creative people can try to emulate them. Normally, we tend to reproduce what we already know because creative ideas move us into unfamiliar territory involving risks and following the usual behaviors is comfortable. Moving outside of our comfort zone, engaging indeliberate practice and tolerating contradictory ideas, risk and failure are all things we can learn to do better. It is unlikely that doing so will transform any of us into creative geniuses, but it does have the potential to increase our level of creativity. 12. Why does Ericsson think he can’t find the limits? A. No restrictions exist. B. Practice makes perfect. C. Each one can succeed. D. The goal is ambitious. 13. Which of the following is an example of “small c”? A. Settling in outer space. B. Building a plastic doghouse. C. Developing robots to look after the old. D. Explaining the theory of evolution in class. 14. What does the underlined word “emulate” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Defend. B. Limit. C. Assess. D. Copy. 15. What message does the author seem to convey in the text? A. We can learn to be more creative. B. Life is full of various challenges. C. It’s better to take deliberate practice. D. Most can become creative geniuses. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。作者通过表述心理学教授K·安德斯·埃里克森和认知心理学家斯科特·巴里·考夫曼的说法表明，人们可以通过练习和学习提高自己的创造力水平。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“He says he has yet to find the limits on being successful and he doesn’t believe them to be real.(他说他还没有找到成功的限制，他不相信这些限制是真的。)”可知，埃里克森认为他找不到极限是因为不存在任何限制。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段第五句“Small c creativity refers to everyday creative problem solving, like creating a new recipe or improving a process, which psychologists subdivide further into similar and different thinking.(小创造力指的是日常创造性地解决问题，比如创造一个新菜谱或改进一个过程，心理学家将其进一步细分为相似和不同的思维。)”可知，建造一个塑料狗窝是“small c”的一个例子。故选B。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段最后一句“Normally, we tend to reproduce what we already know because creative ideas move us into unfamiliar territory involving risks and following the usual behaviors is comfortable.(通常情况下，我们倾向于复制我们已经知道的东西，因为创造性的想法会把我们带入一个充满风险的陌生领域，而遵循通常的行为是舒适的。)”可知，此处是指缺乏创造力的人会尝试模仿，所以emulate意为“模仿”。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Moving outside of our comfort zone, engaging indeliberate practice and tolerating contradictory ideas, risk and failure are all things we can learn to do better. It is unlikely that doing so will transform any of us into creative geniuses, but it does have the potential to increase our level of creativity.(走出我们的舒适区，进行不经意的练习，容忍矛盾的想法，风险和失败，这些都是我们可以学会做得更好的事情。这样做不太可能把我们中的任何一个人变成有创造力的天才，但它确实有可能提高我们的创造力水平。)”可知，作者在文章中想要表达我们可以通过学习提升创造力的观念。故选A。 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。 I grew up in Sichuan, but I only learned to cook surprisingly late in life, after moving to Germany when I began missing the taste of home. My first adult kitchen was in a small shared flat in Berlin — Mitte. Out of necessity, I turned to Xiachufang, a Chinese user-generated recipe (菜谱) app, and taught myself a handful of dishes. ____16____ And over the next decade, I must have made it at least fifty, if not a hundred times. I know I’m not alone. For many Chinese immigrants, tomato and egg is the first dish we master once we leave home. ____17____ It only began appearing in Chinese kitchens in the 1940s, yet it somehow became the most “default (默认的)” of home-cooked meals. ____18____ Some will claim no version (版本) tops their mother’s. Others chase down hidden menu at high-end restaurants or drive across Chengdu just for the plate everyone says is “the best”. For all its simplicity, with just tomatoes, eggs, oil, and salt, some versions do taste better than others. ____19____ This summer, though, with late-season tomatoes at their peak, I decided to test what actually makes a difference. I cooked plate after plate, sometimes five or six times within two weeks. At one point, I threw a batch (一批) into the fridge, determined never to see tomato and egg again. ____20____ A. They were an absolute treat. B. Tomato and egg stir-fry was one of them. C. The dish often pulled me back to my childhood. D. The surprising fact is that the dish itself is relatively young. E. Today, tomato and egg are both universal and deeply personal. F. Yet the next day, I reheated it, paired it with steamed rice, and ate up the whole thing. G. For years, I made mine with the cheapest supermarket tomatoes I could find in Germany. 【答案】16. B 17. D 18. E 19. G 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者回忆了自己作为四川人，在移居德国后因思乡而学会烹饪，并从一道“西红柿炒蛋”入手，进而探讨了这道家常菜对于海外华人的特殊意义、其普及与个性化的特质，以及作者本人在尝试不同做法过程中的感悟与体验。 【16题详解】 上文“I grew up in Sichuan, but I only learned to cook surprisingly late in life, after moving to Germany when I began missing the taste of home. My first adult kitchen was in a small shared flat in Berlin — Mitte. Out of necessity, I turned to Xiachufang, a Chinese user-generated recipe (菜谱) app, and taught myself a handful of dishes. (我在四川长大，但我学会做饭晚得出奇，是在搬到德国后，因为开始想念家乡的味道。我第一个属于成年人的厨房在柏林米特区的一个合租小公寓里。出于需要，我转向了“下厨房”这个中国用户自创的食谱App，自学了几道菜)”讲述了作者在德国开始自学做菜的背景。B选项“Tomato and egg stir-fry was one of them. (西红柿炒蛋就是其中之一)”顺承上文，明确了“a handful of dishes”中的一道具体菜式，引出了后文将要围绕其展开的深入回忆和讨论。下文“And over the next decade, I must have made it at least fifty, if not a hundred times. (在接下来的十年里，我肯定至少做了它五十次，如果没有一百次的话)”中的“it”正是指代B选项中的“Tomato and egg stir-fry”。故选B项。 【17题详解】 上文“For many Chinese immigrants, tomato and egg is the first dish we master once we leave home. (对于许多中国移民来说，西红柿炒蛋是我们离开家后掌握的第一道菜)”指出了这道菜对海外华人的普遍意义。下文“It only began appearing in Chinese kitchens in the 1940s, yet it somehow became the most “default (默认的)” of home-cooked meals. (它直到20世纪40年代才开始出现在中国厨房中，但不知怎地就成为了最“默认的”家常菜)”说明了这道菜历史相对较短但却非常普及。D选项“The surprising fact is that the dish itself is relatively young. (令人惊讶的事实是，这道菜本身的历史相对较年轻)”位于两者之间，既承接上文关于“第一道菜”的普遍性论述，又引出了下文对其历史起源的具体说明，起到了承上启下的作用。故选D项。 【18题详解】 下文“Some will claim no version (版本) tops their mother’s. Others chase down hidden menu at high-end restaurants or drive across Chengdu just for the plate everyone says is “the best”. (有些人会声称没有哪个版本能胜过他们妈妈做的。另一些人则会追逐高端餐厅里的隐藏菜单，或者驱车穿越成都就为了那道大家都说是“最好的”菜)”描述了人们对这道菜的两种极端态度：一种是高度个人化的(妈妈版最好)，一种是追求极致的公认“最佳”。E选项“Today, tomato and egg are both universal and deeply personal. (如今，西红柿炒蛋既普遍存在，又极具个人色彩)”位于段首，作为本段的总起句，精准地概括了下文描述的两种现象所体现出的双重特性——普遍性（到处都有）和个人性（妈妈做的无可替代）。上下文形成“总—分”结构。故选E项。 【19题详解】 上文“For all its simplicity, with just tomatoes, eggs, oil, and salt, some versions do taste better than others. (尽管它很简单，只用西红柿、鸡蛋、油和盐，但有些版本确实比其他版本味道更好)”指出了简单材料下口味仍有差异。G选项“For years, I made mine with the cheapest supermarket tomatoes I could find in Germany. (多年来，我一直用我在德国能找到的最便宜的超市西红柿来做我的西红柿炒蛋)”顺承上文，以作者自身为例，说明了长期以来，他做的版本属于“others (其他版本)”之一，用的是普通便宜的食材，暗示这可能不是“taste better”的那个版本，为下文决定进行口味测试埋下伏笔。下文“This summer, though, with late-season tomatoes at their peak, I decided to test what actually makes a difference. (然而今年夏天，趁着晚季西红柿正当季，我决定测试一下到底是什么造成了差异)”中的“though”正是对G选项中长期使用便宜番茄做法的转折。故选G项。 【20题详解】 上文“I cooked plate after plate, sometimes five or six times within two weeks. At one point, I threw a batch (一批) into the fridge, determined never to see tomato and egg again. (我做了一盘又一盘，有时两周内做了五六次。有一次，我把一批倒进了冰箱，决心再也不做西红柿炒蛋了)”描述了作者因反复试做而感到极度厌倦，甚至决定放弃。F选项“Yet the next day, I reheated it, paired it with steamed rice, and ate up the whole thing. (然而第二天，我把它重新加热，配上米饭，吃得一干二净)”通过“Yet”形成强烈转折，生动地描绘了作者对这道菜矛盾而深沉的情感——尽管嘴上说厌倦，但身体和味蕾依然诚实，最终它依然是一道无法抗拒、能抚慰人心的家常美味。这个场景有力地总结了作者与这道菜之间纠缠又亲密的个人关系，给叙述增添了一个幽默而真实的结尾。故选F项。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 In 2005, Seifu Ibssa returned to his Ethiopian hometown after decades in the US.

Johnny stood on the top of Broomstick Hill and took great, happy gulps (大口吸) of the sunny air and the cool smell of new things growing. It was not a day for sitting around. No sir. Johnny was off for a hike and a day of adventure! He threw over his shoulders his backpack, dug his hands in his pockets and started down Broomstick Hill. When passing by the Professor’s house, he stopped short. There, on the water of the Professor’s pond were two wild ducks. They were black, with touches of brownish yellow, and they swam like anything. “Hi, Johnny!” smiled the Professor, “I’ve tidied up the pond for these two newcomers. The fat one is Stuffer and the one standing on his head in the water is Diver.” Johnny smiled back. He liked seeing the Professor’s pond — it was always clear and bright. And he liked the Professor. Winter or summer, spring or fall, he was always doing something interesting, something to do with birds, or bugs or animals. After saying goodbye to the Professor, Johnny started down the hill again. He walked on and on and then came a loud, unusual sound! Johnny looked up. There, high above his head, was a long line of ducks. They quacked (嘎嘎叫), beat the air with their wings and flew high and proud right through the blue spring sky. One lonely duck was left, though, for it could not fly. Walking closer, Johnny saw its shiny brown feathers, a yellowish bill and a twisted (变形的) wing — that was why it could only swim slowly. But seeing it slide lazily on the water, Johnny knew it was the most beautiful duck he had ever seen. He took some biscuits from his backpack and dropped in the water. Next second, the duck stretched down and up and the biscuits were all gone! Then a Fourth-of-July-sort-of-idea exploded inside Johnny’s head. He would catch that duck and bring it home! It would be his own duck to keep! 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。 Johnny dropped his last piece of biscuit into the water. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With the poor duck in his hands, Johnny sighed and headed to the Professor’s. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Johnny dropped his last piece of biscuit into the water. As the duck swam over to eat, Johnny slowly crept closer, his heart pounding with excitement. He held his breath, reaching out his hands gently but firmly. Just as the duck finished the biscuit, Johnny quickly grabbed it, careful not to hurt its twisted wing. The duck quacked loudly, struggling in his arms, but Johnny held on tight, whispering softly to calm it down. He was so happy, imagining the duck playing in his backyard, but then he noticed the sad look in its eyes and remembered the flock flying overhead. With the poor duck in his hands, Johnny sighed and headed to the Professor’s. He knew the Professor would know what to do for the injured duck. When he arrived, the Professor was surprised but quickly took the duck, examining its wing carefully. “You did the right thing bringing it here,” the Professor said. “We can fix its wing and help it join its flock.” Johnny felt a warm glow in his chest, happier than if he’d kept the duck for himself. Every day after that, he visited the duck, helping the Professor feed it and change its bandage. Weeks later, when the duck finally flew away with its flock, Johnny waved proudly, knowing he’d given the best gift of all — freedom. 【解析】 【导语】本文以动物为线索展开，讲述春日Johnny远足时偶遇一只有着受伤翅膀的鸭子，被它吸引后想要将鸭子带回家饲养。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Johnny把最后一块饼干扔进了水里。”可知，第一段可描写Johnny用饼干引诱鸭子并成功抓住它，过程中鸭子挣扎让Johnny内心产生动摇。 ②由第二段首句内容“Johnny抱着这只可怜的鸭子，叹了口气，朝教授家走去。”可知，第二段可描写Johnny带鸭子找教授求助，之后帮忙照顾鸭子，最终鸭子康复归队的经过。 2. 续写线索：投饼干诱鸭——成功抓住鸭子——内心动摇改去教授家——教授救治鸭子——Johnny帮忙照料——鸭子康复归队 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①悄悄靠近：creep closer/sneak up ②抓住：grab/catch/seize ③小声说：whisper/speak in a low voice/murmur 情绪类 ①温柔地：gently/softly/tenderly ②惊讶的：surprised/astonished 【点睛】[高分句型1] As the duck swam over to eat, Johnny slowly crept closer, his heart pounding with excitement.(运用了as引导的时间状语从句和独立主格结构作伴随状语) [高分句型2] He was so happy, imagining the duck playing in his backyard, but then he noticed the sad look in its eyes and remembered the flock flying overhead.(运用了现在分词imagining作伴随状语) [高分句型3] He knew the Professor would know what to do for the injured duck.(运用了省略连词that的宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
