I could hear the sound of a cough or a child trying to stay quiet from time to time, but it all sounded muffled (模糊不清的) as if I was under water. Every night, Ethan and I practiced hard until my voice got rough (沙哑的) and his fingers hurt. We were invited to perform at a national music concert. Usually we don’t have such opportunity to shine, so we wanted to give it our all. Every run-through we did, we’d fix a few mistakes but always find a few new ones in exchange. It was like two steps forward and one step back. Even though we sometimes disagreed, we stayed focused on our goal. As we walked up onto the stage, I could feel a thousand sharp eyes on me. The air was completely still. The lights felt hot on my face. When the music began, I froze. My mouth opened, but no sound came out. Ethan slowed the piano down for a beat as he looked over at me. He knew something was wrong, but he continued onward as he had been trained to do. I searched madly for a solution, my eyes moving quickly around the darkened hall. I felt as if time had stopped. Then, I locked eyes with Mom. Even at a distance, I could sense her gently mouthing the words to me as she had always done whenever I’d forget my lines, “Elise, you can do it.” I took a deep breath and my voice finally came out, strong and clear. Ethan and I rode through the rest of the song until the end, our voices and the piano fitting together perfectly. A moment of silence. Then, the whole audience (观众) rose to their feet in applause. A month later, I felt like I was under water again. I walked onto the stage. As I looked up, I saw my mom. She watched me patiently and gave me a nod. Gradually, the pressure on my chest disappeared and I could breathe once more. I had done this before, and I would do it again. 28. From the passage, Elise was nervous because ________. A. she didn’t practice enough with Ethan B. she was worrying about her rough voice C. she didn’t share the same goal with Ethan D. she had to face a large audience in the hall 29. When Ethan started to play the piano, Elise ________. A. lost herself in the beautiful music B. tried to sing but couldn’t make a sound C. felt something wrong with the stage lights D. counted the beats of the song alongside him 30. What can we learn from the story? A. Continuous hard work will finally pay off. B. Teamwork turns the impossible into reality. C. Support from loved ones lights the path to confidence. D. True strength comes from overcoming repeated failures. C As you sit in a lecture, pen and notebook ready, you start to take down every word. But before you get too absorbed in writing, here’s an intriguing (有趣的) piece of science: Taking notes word-for-word may not be the best way to truly remember what you learn. Research suggests that copying information too closely can actually harm your brain’s ability to process and remember it, says Dr. Andrew Blake, a cognitive scientist at Stanford University. We get the details but often miss the key understanding. Writing notes can transfer memory. This happens in two ways: We either shift the responsibility of remembering to the notes themselves, or we’re so occupied by the act of copying that we lose focus on the material being taught. The first issue is memory dependency. When people know their notes are available, they’re less likely to put effort into absorbing the content. Similarly, if you save an important password in your phone, you’re less likely to memorize it since your brain feels there’s no need. This works well-until you can’t open your phone. The second issue is distraction. Taking notes can distract us from the speaker’s emphasis, gestures, and overall message. The focus moves away from actively listening and interpreting the material to simply recording words. As we concentrate on writing, we miss the speaker’s clues that could help us get the main ideas, thus reducing our engagement with the content. We focus on the exact wording, structuring the layout, and keeping our handwriting readable, all of which redirects our attention away from truly understanding the lecture. However, note-taking can strengthen memory-when done thoughtfully. If you summarize key ideas or add personal reflections, you’re engaging with the material in a way that strengthens memory. Combining information requires processing, which deepens understanding. Another advantage of good note-taking is that it creates a dependable reference. Memory is imperfect, influenced by emotions and other experiences, so correct notes serve as a trustworthy reminder of what was actually covered. Memory weakens over time without practice. Thus, effective note-taking, when done thoughtfully, can be an excellent tool for learning and recalling important information. 31. What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To offer a solution. B. To present an experience. C. To bring up a topic. D. To give a suggestion. 32. What can we infer about the effect of taking notes word-for-word? A. It helps students remember everything the speaker says. B. It makes students focus too much on writing and miss important ideas. C. It improves students’ ability to understand the main points. D. It makes students more interested in the lecture. 33. What is the author’s purpose in writing this article? A. To encourage students to stop taking notes entirely. B. To explain the benefits and problems of different note-taking methods. C. To show that memory is more important than note-taking. D. To criticize students who take notes during lectures. D Runners who meet visual and auditory distractions (视觉和听觉分心) may be more likely to suffer leg injuries, according to a research by the Association of Academic Physiatrists in Las Vegas. Runners often look for distractions from the task at hand. Whether it is music, texting, daydreaming, taking in the sights, or propping a book up on the treadmill (跑步机), more often than not a distraction is welcome. But, researchers from the University of Florida have recently discovered that those distractions may lead to injury. Daniel Herman, MD, PhD, assistant professor at University of Florida, and his team carried out a research on the effect of visual and auditory distractions on 14 runners to judge what effect, if any, these distractions would have on things such as heart rate, how much a runner breathes per minute, how much oxygen is consumed by the body, the speed in which runners put force to their bodies, and the force the ground puts to the runners’ bodies when they come in touch with it. The runners were all injury free at the time of the research and ran 31 miles each week. Dr. Herman’s team had each participant run on a treadmill three times. The first time was without any distractions. The second time added a visual distraction, during which the runners focus on a screen showing different letters in different colors with the runners having to notice when a specific letter-color combination appeared. The third time added an auditory distraction similar to the visual distraction, with the runners having to notice when a particular word was spoken by a particular voice. When compared to running without distractions, the participants had faster application of force to their left and right legs, called loading rate, with auditory and visual distractions. They also experienced increased force from the ground on both legs, called ground reaction force, with auditory distractions. Finally, the runners are likely to breathe heavier and have higher heart rates with visual and auditory distractions than without any distractions at all. “Running in environments with different distractions may affect running performance and injury risk,” explains Dr. Herman “Sometimes these things cannot be avoided, but you may be able to make the effect less. For example, when running a new route in a noisy environment such as during a destination marathon, you may not listen to something which may require more attention-like a new song.” Dr. Herman’s team will continue to study the relationship between distracted running and leg injuries, and any effect this relationship has on different training techniques that use auditory or visual signals. 34. What does the word “propping” most likely mean in the first paragraph? A. turning over pages quickly B. carrying something while moving C. placing something in a steady position D. buying a book for later use 35. Based on the research, runners with auditory distractions are likely to ________. A. breathe heavier and have lower heart rates B. gain a faster speed with slower loading rates C. apply more force with less oxygen consumption D. get an increased amount of ground reaction force 36. What can we infer from the passage? A. Running with distractions becomes uncommon nowadays. B. Listening to a new song while running can make the performance better. C. Runners are advised to avoid distractions in a destination marathon. D. Runners are more likely to get injured in an environment without distractions. 37. What is probably the next task for Dr. Herman’s team? A. What decides training techniques. B. What effective ways can cure leg injuries. C. Why runners use auditory and visual signals. D. How distractions should be used in training. E The question of whether it is possible to separate the artist from their work has been debated for a long time. Even though positive critical reviews about an artist’s behavior can improve their artistic achievements, people should treat artists as people who live apart from their work. One of the reasons is that even artists have shortcomings. Like any other human being, an artist can make mistakes, and we cannot be judgmental of every person that makes mistakes. Cancel culture with endless criticism is related more to how we should disregard the artists when they make mistakes than with how their weaknesses can be used by the artists to create art that is unique. Perhaps Kevin Hart’s words support this thought. He asks, “When did we get to a point where life was supposed to be perfect? Where were people supposed to operate perfectly all the time?” When people start seeing artists as human beings, they’ll see them for who they are and review their behavior not on the basis of their art but on the basis of their humanity. It should also be noted that there are works of art that are inspired by the artist’s experience. For example, the themes in the Harry Potter books are so connected with J. K. Rowling’s wicked worldview that it is virtually impossible to tell the two from each other. Since canceling artists based on their worldview would mean the reception to their art will suffer, artists become nervous and unwilling to express themselves, which will kill creativity, eventually leading to the death of art. Comedians, singers or painters who should be integrating contemporary issues with their works become bored, and art stops functioning as the social mirror it ought to be. An artist who makes mistakes still has art with intrinsic (内在的) value, benefiting entire communities or cultures. For example, when Kendrick Lamar launched his album and frequently used the F-slur in one of his songs, there was much-heated discussion. He was entirely mistaken in using the F-slur, but as an artist, he still had a wide-reaching impact on society. Similarly, one can respect the late Michael Jackson because of how he impacted pop music and the presence of black musicians in mainstream media despite his personal weaknesses, opinions, worldviews and associations. While these artists may engage in their terrible behavior, the art they produce today may serve as an example for others to produce outstanding work in the future. Some would refer to this process as a cycle. Good art should, therefore, be judged due to its value and not the value of the artist. 38. Which would Kevin Hart probably agree with? A. People should perform perfectly all the time. B. Artists’ shortcomings might be their inspiration. C. If artists have weaknesses, we’d better cancel them. D. Artists should be evaluated based on their humanity. 39. Why will “cancel culture” lead to the death of art? A. Artists will be unwilling to create any artwork. B. Artists will stop concerning themselves with contemporary issues. C. Artists will lose their desire for expression and creativity. D. Artworks are unavoidably inspired by artists’ experiences. 40. How can an artist with mistakes benefit others? A. The artist may make some new words popular. B. The artist’s opinions may spark heated discussion. C. The artist will benefit entire communities or cultures. D. The artist’s work may give others ideas for artistic creation. 41. Which would be the best title of the passage? A. Judge Art Due to Its Value B. Separate the Art From the Artist C. Regard Artists as Human Beings D. Stop Criticizing Artists’ Behavior 第二部分 本部分共4题，共10分。根据题目要求，完成相应任务。 四、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。(共10分，第42-44题每小题2分，第45小题4分) 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 On August 24, 17-year-old Mack Rutherford landed his microlight airplane safely back in Bulgaria, completing a five-month effort to fly around the world. He has now set the record as the youngest person to fly around the world alone. Mack’s flight began in Bulgaria, where he took off on March 23. He was 16 at the time, but celebrated his birthday during his trip around the world. He flew in a small, two-seater microlight airplane, able to fly at speeds of about 186 mph (300 kph). One of the plane’s seats was replaced with an extra gas tank (油箱), which allowed Mack to cover longer distances. The plane also had satellite communications that let Mack stay in touch with people on the ground. Mack’s route took him over Europe, Africa, Asia, and North America. He visited 30 countries in all and covered 33,630 miles. Though Mack expected his trip to take two to three months, he had to change his ideas. In some places, he had to wait long for getting permission to fly. Other problems required major changes to his flight plan. Mack also faced lots of other challenges, many of them related to extreme weather. In Sudan, Mack had to deal with sandstorms. He had to fly through heavy rain in India, and ended up with water in his gas tanks. He said crossing the Pacific Ocean was the most difficult part of the trip. After a 10-hour flight from Japan, he had to land — just as it was getting dark — on an island with no one else on it. He spent the night in the open air. In spite of all the difficult times, Mack described the trip as “amazing”. Now Mack has set the record for the youngest person to fly around the world alone, beating 18-year-old English pilot, Travis Ludlow, who set the record last year. Mack says he hopes his trip will show young people they can make a difference. “You don’t need to be 18 to do something special. Just follow your dreams and they will eventually come true,” he said. 42. How long did it take Mack to fly around the world? ___________________________________________ 43. How did Mack stay in touch with people on the ground? ___________________________________________ 44. What did many of Mack’s other challenges relate to? ___________________________________________ 45. Do you think Mack is a role model for young people? Why or why not? (Give at least two reasons) ___________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 仁和中学初三年级2024—2025学年度第二学期月考英语试卷 第一部分 本部分共41题，共50分。在每题列出的四个选项中，选出最符合题目要求的一项。 一、单项填空(共8分，每小题0.5分) 从下列各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 1.

Over five hundred were seated in rows. I could hear the sound of a cough or a child trying to stay quiet from time to time, but it all sounded muffled (模糊不清的) as if I was under water. Every night, Ethan and I practiced hard until my voice got rough (沙哑的) and his fingers hurt. We were invited to perform at a national music concert. Usually we don’t have such opportunity to shine, so we wanted to give it our all. Every run-through we did, we’d fix a few mistakes but always find a few new ones in exchange. It was like two steps forward and one step back. Even though we sometimes disagreed, we stayed focused on our goal. As we walked up onto the stage, I could feel a thousand sharp eyes on me. The air was completely still. The lights felt hot on my face. When the music began, I froze. My mouth opened, but no sound came out. Ethan slowed the piano down for a beat as he looked over at me. He knew something was wrong, but he continued onward as he had been trained to do. I searched madly for a solution, my eyes moving quickly around the darkened hall. I felt as if time had stopped. Then, I locked eyes with Mom. Even at a distance, I could sense her gently mouthing the words to me as she had always done whenever I’d forget my lines, “Elise, you can do it.” I took a deep breath and my voice finally came out, strong and clear. Ethan and I rode through the rest of the song until the end, our voices and the piano fitting together perfectly. A moment of silence. Then, the whole audience (观众) rose to their feet in applause. A month later, I felt like I was under water again. I walked onto the stage. As I looked up, I saw my mom. She watched me patiently and gave me a nod. Gradually, the pressure on my chest disappeared and I could breathe once more. I had done this before, and I would do it again. 28. From the passage, Elise was nervous because ________. A. she didn’t practice enough with Ethan B. she was worrying about her rough voice C. she didn’t share the same goal with Ethan D. she had to face a large audience in the hall 29. When Ethan started to play the piano, Elise ________. A. lost herself in the beautiful music B. tried to sing but couldn’t make a sound C. felt something wrong with the stage lights D. counted the beats of the song alongside him 30. What can we learn from the story? A. Continuous hard work will finally pay off. B. Teamwork turns the impossible into reality. C. Support from loved ones lights the path to confidence. D. True strength comes from overcoming repeated failures. 【答案】28. D 29. B 30. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了Elise与Ethan受邀在国家音乐会上表演，尽管他们勤加练习，但在登台时Elise因紧张而失声，最终在与观众席中母亲的目光交流中重拾信心，成功完成表演的故事。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“I did not expect so many people to be here.

My mouth opened, but no sound came out.”可知，当Ethan开始弹钢琴时，Elise试图唱歌但发不出声音。故选B。 【30题详解】 主旨大意题。故事的核心转折点是Elise在台上失声时，通过看到母亲无声的鼓励（“Elise, you can do it.”）而重获信心，这体现了来自所爱之人的支持能点亮通往自信的道路。故选C。 C As you sit in a lecture, pen and notebook ready, you start to take down every word. But before you get too absorbed in writing, here’s an intriguing (有趣的) piece of science: Taking notes word-for-word may not be the best way to truly remember what you learn. Research suggests that copying information too closely can actually harm your brain’s ability to process and remember it, says Dr. Andrew Blake, a cognitive scientist at Stanford University. We get the details but often miss the key understanding. Writing notes can transfer memory. This happens in two ways: We either shift the responsibility of remembering to the notes themselves, or we’re so occupied by the act of copying that we lose focus on the material being taught. The first issue is memory dependency. When people know their notes are available, they’re less likely to put effort into absorbing the content. Similarly, if you save an important password in your phone, you’re less likely to memorize it since your brain feels there’s no need. This works well-until you can’t open your phone. The second issue is distraction. Taking notes can distract us from the speaker’s emphasis, gestures, and overall message. The focus moves away from actively listening and interpreting the material to simply recording words. As we concentrate on writing, we miss the speaker’s clues that could help us get the main ideas, thus reducing our engagement with the content. We focus on the exact wording, structuring the layout, and keeping our handwriting readable, all of which redirects our attention away from truly understanding the lecture. However, note-taking can strengthen memory-when done thoughtfully. If you summarize key ideas or add personal reflections, you’re engaging with the material in a way that strengthens memory. Combining information requires processing, which deepens understanding. Another advantage of good note-taking is that it creates a dependable reference. Memory is imperfect, influenced by emotions and other experiences, so correct notes serve as a trustworthy reminder of what was actually covered. Memory weakens over time without practice. Thus, effective note-taking, when done thoughtfully, can be an excellent tool for learning and recalling important information. 31. What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To offer a solution. B. To present an experience. C. To bring up a topic. D. To give a suggestion. 32. What can we infer about the effect of taking notes word-for-word? A. It helps students remember everything the speaker says. B. It makes students focus too much on writing and miss important ideas. C. It improves students’ ability to understand the main points. D. It makes students more interested in the lecture. 33. What is the author’s purpose in writing this article? A. To encourage students to stop taking notes entirely. B. To explain the benefits and problems of different note-taking methods. C. To show that memory is more important than note-taking. D. To criticize students who take notes during lectures. 【答案】31. C 32. B 33. B 【解析】 【导语】本文探讨了课堂笔记的利弊，指出逐字记录笔记会削弱记忆与理解，但经过思考的笔记能加深理解、强化记忆，是有效的学习工具。 【31题详解】 第一段以“课堂上逐字记笔记”的场景引入，提出“逐字记录可能不是最佳学习方式”这一话题，因此目的是引出主题。 【32题详解】 原文第5段提到“As we concentrate on writing, we miss the speaker’s clues that could help us get the main ideas, thus reducing our engagement with the content.”，说明逐字记笔记会让学生过度专注于书写，从而错过重要观点。 【33题详解】 文章既分析了逐字记录笔记的弊端（削弱记忆、分散注意力），也说明了有效笔记的好处（强化理解、作为可靠参考），因此作者的写作目的是解释不同记笔记方法的利弊。 D Runners who meet visual and auditory distractions (视觉和听觉分心) may be more likely to suffer leg injuries, according to a research by the Association of Academic Physiatrists in Las Vegas. Runners often look for distractions from the task at hand. Whether it is music, texting, daydreaming, taking in the sights, or propping a book up on the treadmill (跑步机), more often than not a distraction is welcome. But, researchers from the University of Florida have recently discovered that those distractions may lead to injury. Daniel Herman, MD, PhD, assistant professor at University of Florida, and his team carried out a research on the effect of visual and auditory distractions on 14 runners to judge what effect, if any, these distractions would have on things such as heart rate, how much a runner breathes per minute, how much oxygen is consumed by the body, the speed in which runners put force to their bodies, and the force the ground puts to the runners’ bodies when they come in touch with it. The runners were all injury free at the time of the research and ran 31 miles each week. Dr. Herman’s team had each participant run on a treadmill three times. The first time was without any distractions. The second time added a visual distraction, during which the runners focus on a screen showing different letters in different colors with the runners having to notice when a specific letter-color combination appeared. The third time added an auditory distraction similar to the visual distraction, with the runners having to notice when a particular word was spoken by a particular voice. When compared to running without distractions, the participants had faster application of force to their left and right legs, called loading rate, with auditory and visual distractions. They also experienced increased force from the ground on both legs, called ground reaction force, with auditory distractions. Finally, the runners are likely to breathe heavier and have higher heart rates with visual and auditory distractions than without any distractions at all. “Running in environments with different distractions may affect running performance and injury risk,” explains Dr. Herman “Sometimes these things cannot be avoided, but you may be able to make the effect less. For example, when running a new route in a noisy environment such as during a destination marathon, you may not listen to something which may require more attention-like a new song.” Dr. Herman’s team will continue to study the relationship between distracted running and leg injuries, and any effect this relationship has on different training techniques that use auditory or visual signals. 34. What does the word “propping” most likely mean in the first paragraph? A. turning over pages quickly B. carrying something while moving C. placing something in a steady position D. buying a book for later use 35. Based on the research, runners with auditory distractions are likely to ________. A. breathe heavier and have lower heart rates B. gain a faster speed with slower loading rates C. apply more force with less oxygen consumption D. get an increased amount of ground reaction force 36. What can we infer from the passage? A. Running with distractions becomes uncommon nowadays. B. Listening to a new song while running can make the performance better. C. Runners are advised to avoid distractions in a destination marathon. D. Runners are more likely to get injured in an environment without distractions. 37. What is probably the next task for Dr. Herman’s team? A. What decides training techniques. B. What effective ways can cure leg injuries. C. Why runners use auditory and visual signals. D. How distractions should be used in training. 【答案】34. C 35. D 36. C 37. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一项关于跑步时分心与腿部受伤关系的研究，发现视觉和听觉分心会增加跑步者的受伤风险，并给出了相关建议。 【34题详解】 根据第一段 “propping a book up on the treadmill” 的语境，“prop sth up” 是固定搭配，意为 “支撑某物、使某物保持在稳定的位置”，因此 “propping” 在这里表示将书放置在跑步机上的稳定位置，对应选项C “Placing something in a steady position”。 【35题详解】 根据第四段 “They also experienced increased force from the ground on both legs, called ground reaction force, with auditory distractions.” 可知，有听觉分心的跑步者会受到更高的地面反作用力，对应选项D “get an increased amount of ground reaction force”。选项中 “lower heart rates” 与原文 “higher heart rates” 矛盾；B 选项中 “slower loading rates” 与原文 “faster loading rates” 矛盾；C 选项中 “less oxygen consumption” 原文未提及，故排除。 【36题详解】 根据倒数第二段 “when running a new route in a noisy environment such as during a destination marathon, you may not listen to something which may require more attention-like a new song.” 可知，研究人员建议在马拉松这类嘈杂环境中减少分心，对应选项C “Runners are advised to make fewer distractions in a destination marathon”。A 选项 “uncommon” 与原文 “distraction is welcome” 矛盾；B 选项 “make the performance better” 与原文 “affect running performance and injury risk” 矛盾；D 选项 “without distractions get injured” 与原文 “distractions may lead to injury” 矛盾，故排除。 【37题详解】 根据最后一段 “Dr. Herman’s team will continue to study the relationship between distracted running and leg injuries, and any effect this relationship has on different training techniques that use auditory or visual signals.” 可知，团队接下来的任务是研究分心与受伤的关系对使用听觉 / 视觉信号的训练技术的影响，即如何在训练中合理使用这些信号，对应选项D “How distractions should be used in training.”。A 选项 “What decides training techniques”、B 选项 “What effective ways can cure leg injuries”、C 选项 “Why runners use auditory and visual signals” 均不符合原文内容，故排除。 E The question of whether it is possible to separate the artist from their work has been debated for a long time. Even though positive critical reviews about an artist’s behavior can improve their artistic achievements, people should treat artists as people who live apart from their work. One of the reasons is that even artists have shortcomings. Like any other human being, an artist can make mistakes, and we cannot be judgmental of every person that makes mistakes. Cancel culture with endless criticism is related more to how we should disregard the artists when they make mistakes than with how their weaknesses can be used by the artists to create art that is unique. Perhaps Kevin Hart’s words support this thought. He asks, “When did we get to a point where life was supposed to be perfect? Where were people supposed to operate perfectly all the time?” When people start seeing artists as human beings, they’ll see them for who they are and review their behavior not on the basis of their art but on the basis of their humanity. It should also be noted that there are works of art that are inspired by the artist’s experience. For example, the themes in the Harry Potter books are so connected with J. K. Rowling’s wicked worldview that it is virtually impossible to tell the two from each other. Since canceling artists based on their worldview would mean the reception to their art will suffer, artists become nervous and unwilling to express themselves, which will kill creativity, eventually leading to the death of art. Comedians, singers or painters who should be integrating contemporary issues with their works become bored, and art stops functioning as the social mirror it ought to be. An artist who makes mistakes still has art with intrinsic (内在的) value, benefiting entire communities or cultures. For example, when Kendrick Lamar launched his album and frequently used the F-slur in one of his songs, there was much-heated discussion. He was entirely mistaken in using the F-slur, but as an artist, he still had a wide-reaching impact on society. Similarly, one can respect the late Michael Jackson because of how he impacted pop music and the presence of black musicians in mainstream media despite his personal weaknesses, opinions, worldviews and associations. While these artists may engage in their terrible behavior, the art they produce today may serve as an example for others to produce outstanding work in the future. Some would refer to this process as a cycle. Good art should, therefore, be judged due to its value and not the value of the artist. 38. Which would Kevin Hart probably agree with? A. People should perform perfectly all the time. B. Artists’ shortcomings might be their inspiration. C. If artists have weaknesses, we’d better cancel them. D. Artists should be evaluated based on their humanity. 39. Why will “cancel culture” lead to the death of art? A. Artists will be unwilling to create any artwork. B. Artists will stop concerning themselves with contemporary issues. C. Artists will lose their desire for expression and creativity. D. Artworks are unavoidably inspired by artists’ experiences. 40. How can an artist with mistakes benefit others? A. The artist may make some new words popular. B. The artist’s opinions may spark heated discussion. C. The artist will benefit entire communities or cultures. D. The artist’s work may give others ideas for artistic creation. 41. Which would be the best title of the passage? A. Judge Art Due to Its Value B. Separate the Art From the Artist C. Regard Artists as Human Beings D. Stop Criticizing Artists’ Behavior 【答案】38. D 39. C 40. D 41. B 【解析】 【导语】本文探讨了“艺术作品是否应与创作者个人行为分开看待”这一话题，指出即使艺术家存在缺点，其作品仍有独立价值，不应被“取消文化”全盘否定。 【38题详解】 原文第3段提到“Kevin Hart’s words support this thought… When people start seeing artists as human beings, they’ll see them for who they are and review their behavior not on the basis of their art but on the basis of their humanity.”，说明Kevin Hart认为应基于人性来评价艺术家。 【39题详解】 原文第4段提到“Since canceling artists based on their worldview would mean the reception to their art will suffer, artists become nervous and unwilling to express themselves, which will kill creativity, eventually leading to the death of art.”，说明“取消文化”会让艺术家失去表达和创作的欲望，从而扼杀艺术。 【40题详解】 原文第6段提到“While these artists may engage in their terrible behavior, the art they produce today may serve as an example for others to produce outstanding work in the future.”，说明犯错的艺术家的作品能为他人提供创作灵感。 【41题详解】 全文围绕“是否应将艺术作品与艺术家个人分开看待”展开论述，核心观点是应尊重作品的独立价值，因此最佳标题为“Separate the Art From the Artist”。 第二部分 本部分共4题，共10分。根据题目要求，完成相应任务。 四、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。(共10分，第42-44题每小题2分，第45小题4分) 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 On August 24, 17-year-old Mack Rutherford landed his microlight airplane safely back in Bulgaria, completing a five-month effort to fly around the world. He has now set the record as the youngest person to fly around the world alone. Mack’s flight began in Bulgaria, where he took off on March 23. He was 16 at the time, but celebrated his birthday during his trip around the world. He flew in a small, two-seater microlight airplane, able to fly at speeds of about 186 mph (300 kph). One of the plane’s seats was replaced with an extra gas tank (油箱), which allowed Mack to cover longer distances. The plane also had satellite communications that let Mack stay in touch with people on the ground. Mack’s route took him over Europe, Africa, Asia, and North America. He visited 30 countries in all and covered 33,630 miles. Though Mack expected his trip to take two to three months, he had to change his ideas. In some places, he had to wait long for getting permission to fly. Other problems required major changes to his flight plan. Mack also faced lots of other challenges, many of them related to extreme weather. In Sudan, Mack had to deal with sandstorms. He had to fly through heavy rain in India, and ended up with water in his gas tanks. He said crossing the Pacific Ocean was the most difficult part of the trip. After a 10-hour flight from Japan, he had to land — just as it was getting dark — on an island with no one else on it. He spent the night in the open air. In spite of all the difficult times, Mack described the trip as “amazing”. Now Mack has set the record for the youngest person to fly around the world alone, beating 18-year-old English pilot, Travis Ludlow, who set the record last year. Mack says he hopes his trip will show young people they can make a difference. “You don’t need to be 18 to do something special. Just follow your dreams and they will eventually come true,” he said. 42. How long did it take Mack to fly around the world? ___________________________________________ 43. How did Mack stay in touch with people on the ground? ___________________________________________ 44. What did many of Mack’s other challenges relate to? ___________________________________________ 45. Do you think Mack is a role model for young people? Why or why not? (Give at least two reasons) ___________________________________________ 【答案】42. 5 months. 43. He kept in touch with people on the ground through satellite communications. 44. Extreme weather. 45. Yes, I do. First, he has now set the record as the youngest person to fly around the world alone. Second, he faced lots of challenges during his trip and overcame them. 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍马克乘坐微型轻型飞机的环球之旅，他创造了世界最年轻的单人飞行纪录。 【42题详解】 根据“completing a five-month effort to fly around the world”可知，马克环球飞行花了5个月，故填5 months. 【43题详解】 根据“The plane also had satellite communications that let Mack stay in touch with people on the ground.”可知，他通过卫星通信与地面上的人们保持联系。故填He kept in touch with people on the ground through satellite communications. 【44题详解】 根据“Mack also faced lots of other challenges, many of them related to extreme weather.”可知，马克还面临着许多其他挑战，其中许多与极端天气有关。故填Extreme weather. 【45题详解】 本题属于开放性试题，言之有理即可。参考答案：Yes, I do. First, he has now set the record as the youngest person to fly around the world alone. Second, he faced lots of challenges during his trip and overcame them. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
