天津中学2025级高一第二学期诊断测试（一） 英语试卷 分值：130分 时长：100 分钟 第Ⅰ卷 选择题（共95分） 第一部分：英语知识运用（共两节；满分45分） 第一节：单项填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 1. ________ on a journey to see the Northern Lights, the young couple have wisely ________ 5% of their income every month for over two years A. To set off; set aside B. Setting off; set down C. To set out; set down D. Setting out; set aside 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查动词短语辨析和非谓语动词。句意：为了踏上追寻北极光的旅程，这对年轻夫妇明智地在过去两年多里每月都留出5%的收入。第一空，set out意为“出发”，set off意为“出发”，前半部分需体现“存钱”的目的——“为了去旅行”，需用动词不定式作目的状语，排除B项和D项；第二空，set aside意为“留出（时间、金钱等）；搁置”，set down意为“写下；记下；放下”，结合“5% of their income”可知，是留出5%的收入。故选A。 2. --- Have you heard that they are working around the clock to compete for the prize? --- Don’t worry. We are ready to the challenge. A. build up B. take up C. stick to D. lead to 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查动词短语辨析。句意：-你听说了吗?他们昼夜不停地为争夺奖品而工作。-不要担心。我们准备迎接挑战了。A. build up增进；加强；B. take up开始从事；C. stick to坚持；D. lead to导致。短语take up the challenge“迎接挑战”，故选B。 3. So far, almost every possible means ______to provide accommodation and medical rescue for the people in the flood-stricken area. A. were tried B. was tried C. have been tried D. has been tried 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查动词时态。句意：到目前为止，几乎所有可能为灾区居民提供住宿、和医疗援助的办法都被试过了。根据时间状语“So far”可知，这个动作是从过去一直持续到现在的，且对现在造成了影响，应该选用现在完成时。故选D项。 4. ______in four different countries, Jessie is a typical third culture kid, the term of which refers to children who spend a period of time in one or more cultures. A. Bring up B. Having brought up C. Bringing up D. Brought up 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：在四个不同的国家被抚养长大，杰西是一个典型的第三文化小孩。这个术语指的是在一种或多种文化中生活过一段时间的孩子。空处需填非谓语动词作状语， Jessie和bring up 之间是被动关系，被抚养长大，所以用过去分词形式。故选D。 5. ________ on stage requires great courage, and the confidence developed from it ________ benefit many other aspects of life. A. Perform; regularly B. Performing; actually C. Perform; typically D. Performing; currently 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查动名词作主语和副词辨析。句意：在舞台上表演需要巨大的勇气，而且从中培养出的信心实际上有益于生活的许多其他方面。整个句子是and连接的并列句。第一空所在的句子的谓语是requires，句子缺主语，所以第一个空需要用动名词Performing作主语；第二空需要副词作状语修饰动词benefit，A. regularly 定期地，有规律地；B. actually 实际上；C. typically 典型地，通常；D. currently 目前，当前。 B项“actually”强调信心带来益处的真实效果，符合语境。结合两个空的分析，故选B。 6. —Many students are smoking. —Yes，we must do something to keep others . A. in the habit of;from falling into the habit B. having the habit of;getting into of the habit C. in habit of;from getting out of the habit of D. in the habit of;getting into it 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查介词短语和动词短语。句意：——许多学生都有吸烟的习惯。——是的，我们必须做些什么来防止别人染上这种习惯。根据上下句句意可知，上句应为介词短语be in the habit of...“有……的习惯”；下句应为动词短语keep sb. from doing sth...“阻止某人做某事”，满足句意要求。故选A项。 7. The new marketing strategy 　　　　at the young, though well organized, ended in failure. A. targeting B. targeted C. having targeted D. to be targeted 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:尽管这个针对年轻人的新的营销策略很有条理,但还是以失败告终。分析句子结构可知，已有谓语动词ended，空处需填非谓语动词作定语，target与The new marketing strategy为逻辑上的动宾关系，故应用其过去分词形式充当后置定语。故选B。 8. Our school doesn’t students’ staying in the classroom too long. We think they should have time for sports. A. advocate B. admit C. assess D. approach 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意：我们学校不提倡学生在教室待太长的时间。我们认为他们应该有体育锻炼的时间。A. advocate提倡；B. admit承认；C. assess评估，评价；D. approach靠近，接近。根据上下文句意和语境可知应是提倡的意思，故选A。 9.

A. covered B. covering C. to be covered D. being covered 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查with复合结构。句意：树木和草地覆盖了城区的39.6%，潍坊这座城市呈现出崭新的面貌。分析可知，空处应用非谓语动词作宾补，宾语trees and grass和cover之间的关系为主动关系，所以用现在分词。故选B。 10. —How much do you know about the Asian Games to be held in Hangzhou? —Well, the media ______ it in a variety of forms. A. cover B. will cover C. have covered D. covered 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查时态。句意：——你对即将在杭州举行的亚运会有多少了解？——很多。媒体以各种形式进行了报道。此处缺少谓语，根据Pretty well可知，“报道”是从过去到现在对话为止时已经有了各种各样的版本，强调一种结果，用现在完成时。故选C项。 11. Though _________ to take measures to prevent possible injury, the young worker didn’t take it seriously. A. urging B. being urged C. urged D. having urged 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查状语从句的省略。句意：尽管人们敦促他采取措施防止可能的伤害，但这位年轻工人并没有把它当回事。这里是状语从句的省略，可以还原为“Though he had been urged”，动作urge和句子主语the young worker之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，且动作已经发生，故用过去分词表示被动和完成，故C项正确。 12. I’ve been told that the medical team, ________ five doctors and ten nurses, ________ sent to the flood-stricken area. A. consisting of; are to be B. consists of; will be C. consisting of; is to be D. is consisted of; will be 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词和主谓一致。句意：我听说，由五名医生和十名护士组成的医疗队将被派往洪水灾区。A. consisting of由……组成（现在分词）；are to be将会被；B. consists of由……组成（动词第三人称单数）；will be将会被；C. consisting of由……组成（现在分词）；is to be将会被；D. is consisted of错误结构（因为“consist”为不及物动词，无被动语态）；will be将会被。“________ five doctors and ten nurses”为之前名词短语“the medical team”的后置定语，动词短语“consist of”与其之间为主动关系，用现在分词形式“consisting of”；第二空为宾语从句的谓语部分，结合语境以及空后“sent”可推知，用表将来时的被动结构“will be done”或“am/is/are to be done”；且主语“the medical team”为集合名词，作为一个整体看待，谓语动词用单数形式，即“will be sent”或“is to be sent”。故选C项。 13. What is the best way you can think of ________ the tough problem? A. working out B. working at C. to work out D. to work at 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：你能想到的解决这道难题的最好方法是什么？分析句子结构可知空格处为非谓语动词修饰the best way。the way to do sth做某事的方法为固定短语，动词不定式作定语修饰the best way。故选C。 14. I like to get up early so that I can get plenty of work before lunch． A. to do B. done C. doing D. being done 【答案】B 【解析】 【分析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：我喜欢早起，这样我就能在午饭前完成大量的工作。在so that引导的从句中，“大量的工作”和“做”之间是被动关系，用过去分词作宾补，构成get sth done 使某事被做，故选B。 15. — My computer ________ start, no matter how hard I try. — It might have crashed. You need to have it examined. A. won’t B. mustn’t C. can’t D. needn’t 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查情态动词词义辨析。句意：——无论我怎么努力，我的电脑就是启动不了。——它可能死机了。你需要让专业人员检查一下。A. won’t不会；B. mustn’t禁止；C. can’t不能；D. needn’t不必。won’t用于描述机器、物体等“不肯（正常工作）”，符合“电脑无论怎么尝试都启动不了”的语境。故选A项。 第二节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，从16-35各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入括号内的最佳选项并在答题卡上将其涂黑。 When my family moved to Ohio over the summer, I feared attending another new school and knowing no one because I was able to expect what was coming.

Here are the best online language learning courses we’ve put together for your reference. Rosetta Stone Price: $7.99 per month — $199 one-time payment Number of languages: 28 Rosetta Stone has long been known as the go-to service for new language learners. It offers lessons that are short enough to complete each day, but long enough to actually get something out of. Rosetta Stone’s interface (界面) is generally easy to use, and its lessons include reading, writing, speaking and listening, all in one lesson. You can also choose to subscribe (订阅) to a monthly payment or purchase a lifetime license. Duolingo Price: Free — $6.99 per month Number of languages: 36 Duolingo has risen as a serious competitor to Rosetta Stone over the past few years. The service is perhaps best known for its Android and iOS apps and those apps are available for free, which makes it easy to practice your chosen language without having to make a serious commitment. Alternatively, you can sign up for Duolingo Plus, which removes ads, offers offline courses, and more. Many consider Duolingo to be better for those who want to practice a language rather than learning from the very beginning. Babbel Price: $6.95 per month — $12.95 per month Number of languages: 14 Looking for a service to challenge your language-learning skills? Babbel may be the way to go. Babbel is excellent at teaching phrases and words that you’ll actually use on a day-to-day basis. The service is also relatively cheap, so if you’re unsure if you want to commit to learning a new language yet, the low subscription prices ensure you don’t have to make a huge commitment. Memrise Price: $6.67 per month — $119.99 one-time payment Number of languages: 16 If you learn best through repetition and flashcards (识字卡), then Memrise may be the service for you. It’s relatively inexpensive, making it easier to sign up. Memrise isn’t necessarily the service for those who want to learn a language from scratch (从头开始), but it’s a great learning aid, and good for those who already have a foundation in language-learning. 36.

Our conversation was lively and full of news from both sides. Before we parted, she said, “You’ll have to drop in sometime.” I immediately sensed that if I simply “dropped in”, I would take my friend by surprise, and I would be discouraged by the image of her standing in her doorway, staring at me, and asking, “Oh, er ... what brings you here?” What ever happened to the unannounced drop-in visit? When I was growing up in the 1960s, it seemed that people mostly relatives, but also friends were always popping in. My parents would put coffee on, and my mom would find something in the kitchen to serve along with it. Then the conversation would begin... The neighbor lady, a worried, was unloading her sadness while my mom quietly listened. The Irish man next door had such an accent that I remember asking what language he spoke. My Polish relatives arrived in packs... But I never heard my parents say anything like “We weren’t expecting you” or “This isn’t a good time.” Drop-in visitors had a certain right of way and became No.1. What has happened to such visits? Actually I know the answer. Times have changed. Everybody gets busy with work. There is no longer a stay-at-home mom keeping a pot of hot coffee or tea ready throughout the day for a surprise guest. Booming malls and stores are now replacing homes as a central form of entertainment. Just the other day a former student of mine showed up. “I’m sorry for the surprise visit.” my student began. “I just wanted to see if you still lived here. I’ll only stay a minute.” My response was immediate. “No, you won’t,” I said. “Just come in, sit, have coffee, and we’ll talk.” I had nothing in the kitchen but we ordered pizza. And we had a lovely time. I have tried to keep the drop-in tradition alive though it takes some effort. 41. The author regarded his friend’s invitation — “You’ll have to drop in sometime” as ______. A. a kind of politeness B. an excuse of leaving C. a nice way of refusal D. an expression of surprise 42. The underlined phrase “popping in” in the second paragraph means ______. A. making many friends B. paying a sudden visit C. having a good time D. making a special date 43. The woman from the neighborhood used to visit the author’s home to ______. A. meet new friends B. seek comfort from my parents C. listen to my parents’ story D. taste nice dishes 44. From the third paragraph of the passage, we can infer that ______. A. modern people prefer outdoor activities B. unexpected visitors are still welcome now C. the author misses the lost good days D. there are more jobs for the housewives now 45. The author writes the passage intending to ______. A. encourage people to be drop-in visitors B. explain how to deal with unexpected visitors C. show the importance of making friends D. share his feelings about the drop-in tradition 【答案】41. A 42. B 43. B 44. C 45. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者偶遇朋友得串门邀约，察觉是客套，回忆过去亲朋常突然来访的温暖时光，感慨如今传统消失，自己则尽力延续这一串门传统。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“I recently ran into a friend I hadn’t seen for a long while. Our conversation was lively and full of news from both sides. Before we parted, she said, “You’ll have to drop in sometime.” I immediately sensed that if I simply “dropped in”, I would take my friend by surprise, and I would be discouraged by the image of her standing in her doorway, staring at me, and asking, “Oh, er ... what brings you here?”(我最近偶遇了一位许久未见的老友，两人相谈甚欢，聊了不少各自的近况。道别前，她对我说：“你得找个时间过来坐坐。”我立刻意识到，要是真就这么贸然登门，定会让她措手不及；我甚至能脑补出她站在门口，一脸错愕地看着我，支支吾吾问“哦，呃……你怎么来了？”的样子，想想就打退堂鼓)”可知，作者认为他朋友的邀请——“你得找个时间过来坐坐”——其实是一种礼貌的表达。故选A。 【42题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词组上文“What ever happened to the unannounced drop-in visit?(那种不事先通知的突然来访又怎么了呢？)”及“When I was growing up in the 1960s, it seemed that people mostly relatives, but also friends were always(在我成长的20世纪60年代，似乎无论是亲戚还是朋友，都会时不时地)”可知，此处指亲戚或朋友突然前来拜访，故划线词组意思是“突然前来拜访”。故选B。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The neighbor lady, a worried, was unloading her sadness while my mom quietly listened.(那位邻居女士神情忧郁，正倾诉着自己的烦恼，而我的妈妈则静静地倾听着)”可知，这位来自附近的女士过去常来作者家找我父母倾诉，寻求安慰。故选B。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“What has happened to such visits? Actually I know the answer. Times have changed. Everybody gets busy with work. There is no longer a stay-at-home mom keeping a pot of hot coffee or tea ready throughout the day for a surprise guest. Booming malls and stores are now replacing homes as a central form of entertainment.(这样的拜访如今变成了什么情况呢？实际上我知道答案。时代变了。每个人都忙于工作。再也不会有那种全职妈妈整天准备着一壶热咖啡或热茶，只为迎接突然来访的客人了。如今繁华的商场和店铺已经取代了家庭，成为人们主要的娱乐场所)”可推知，作者怀念那些逝去的美好时光。故选C。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“I have tried to keep the drop-in tradition alive though it takes some effort.(尽管需要付出一些努力，但我还是尽力让这种随意来访的传统得以延续下去)”以及文章讲述了作者偶遇朋友得串门邀约，察觉是客套，回忆过去亲朋常突然来访的温暖时光，感慨如今传统消失，自己则尽力延续这一串门传统。由此推知，作者撰写这篇文章的目的是想表达他对这种来访习俗的感受。故选D。 C According to the Solar Energy Industry Association, the number of solar panels installed (安装) has grown rapidly in the past decade, and it has to grow even faster to meet climate goals. But all of that growth will take up a lot of space, and though more and more people accept the concept of solar energy, few like large solar panels to be installed near them. Solar developers want to put up panels as quickly and cheaply as possible, so they haven’t given much thought to what they put under them. Often, they’ll end up filling the area with small stones and using chemicals to control weeds. The result is that many communities, especially in farming regions, see solar farms as destroyers of the soil. “Solar projects need to be good neighbors,” says Jordan Macknick, the head of the Innovative Site Preparation and Impact Reductions on the Environment (InSPIRE) project. “They need to be protectors of the land and contribute to the agricultural economy.” InSPIRE is investigating practical approaches to “low-impact” solar development, which focuses on establishing and operating solar farms in a way that is kinder to the land. One of the easiest low-impact solar strategies is providing habitat for pollinators(传粉昆虫). Habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change have caused dramatic declines in pollinator populations over the past couple of decades, which has damaged the U.S. agricultural economy. Over 28 states have passed laws related to pollinator habitat protection and pesticide use. Conservation organizations put out pollinator-friendliness guidelines for home gardens, businesses, schools, cities—and now there are guidelines for solar farms. Over the past few years, many solar farm developers have transformed the space under their solar panels into a shelter for various kinds of pollinators, resulting in soil improvement and carbon reduction. “These pollinator-friendly solar farms can have a valuable impact on everything that’s going on in the landscape,” says Macknick. 46. What do solar developers often ignore? A. The decline in the demand for solar energy. B. The negative impact of installing solar panels. C. The rising labor cost of building solar farms. D. The most recent advances in solar technology. 47. What does InSPIRE aim to do? A. Improve the productivity of local farms. B. Invent new methods for controlling weeds. C. Make solar projects environmentally friendly. D. Promote the use of solar energy in rural areas. 48. What is the purpose of the laws mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To protect pollinators. B. To restrict solar development. C. To diversify the economy. D. To ensure the supply of energy. 49. What is a benefit of pollinator-friendly solar farms according to the text? A. They reduce the cost of installing solar panels greatly. B. They help improve soil quality and lower carbon levels. C. They increase the demand for solar energy in rural areas. D. They allow farmers to use more pesticides on nearby fields. 50. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Pollinators: To Leave or to Stay B. Solar Energy: Hope for the Future C. InSPIRE: A Leader in Agriculture D. Solar Farms: A New Development 【答案】46. B 47. C 48. A 49. B 50. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍太阳能板安装需求增长但面临空间占用与环境争议，InSPIRE项目推动“低影响”太阳能开发，授粉友好型太阳能农场成为新方向。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Solar developers want to put up panels as quickly and cheaply as possible, so they haven’t given much thought to what they put under them. Often, they’ll end up filling the area with small stones and using chemicals to control weeds. The result is that many communities, especially in farming regions, see solar farms as destroyers of the soil.(太阳能开发商希望尽快且廉价地安装太阳能板，因此他们没有太多考虑在板下放置什么。通常，他们会用小石子填满该区域，并使用化学物质控制杂草。结果是，许多社区，尤其是农业地区，将太阳能农场视为土壤的破坏者。)”可知，太阳能开发商常忽视安装太阳能板带来的负面影响，如用石子填埋和化学除草破坏土壤。故选B项。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“InSPIRE is investigating practical approaches to “low-impact” solar development, which focuses on establishing and operating solar farms in a way that is kinder to the land.(InSPIRE项目正在研究“低影响”太阳能开发的实用方法，其核心是以更善待土地的方式建立和运营太阳能农场。)”可知，InSPIRE项目的目标是让太阳能项目更环保，减少对土地的负面影响。故选C项。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Over 28 states have passed laws related to pollinator habitat protection and pesticide use.(超过28个州通过了与传粉媒介栖息地保护和农药使用有关的法律。)”可知，这些法律都是与保护传粉者栖息地和农药使用相关，所以这些法律的目的是保护授粉者。故选A项。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Over the past few years, many solar farm developers have transformed the space under their solar panels into a shelter for various kinds of pollinators, resulting in soil improvement and carbon reduction.(在过去几年里，许多太阳能农场开发商将太阳能板下的空间改造成了各种传粉昆虫的栖息地，从而实现了土壤改良和碳减排。)”可知，授粉友好型太阳能农场的一个好处是有助于改善土壤质量并降低碳含量。故选B项。 【50题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的“Over the past few years, many solar farm developers have transformed the space under their solar panels into a shelter for various kinds of pollinators, resulting in soil improvement and carbon reduction.(在过去的几年里，许多太阳能农场开发商将太阳能电池板下的空间改造成各种传粉媒介的庇护所，从而改善了土壤并减少了碳排放。)”可知，现在的太阳能农场在过去的几年里已经得到了很大的发展，更重要的是太阳能农场也变得更加的环保，这将是未来发展农业的新趋势，再结合全文对太阳农场的发展过程的介绍可以判断，因此，“太阳能农场：一项新发展”最能概括全文主旨，适合作为最佳标题。故选D项。 D Ralph Emerson once said that the purpose of life is not to be happy, but to be useful, to be loving, to make some difference in the world. While we appreciate such words of wisdom, we rarely try to follow them in our lives. Most people prefer to live a good life themselves, ignoring their responsibilities for the world. This narrow perception of a good life may provide short-term benefits, but is sure to lead to long-term harm and suffering. A good life based on comfort and luxury may eventually lead to more pain because we spoil our health and even our character, principles, ideals, and relationships. What then, is the secret of a good life? A good life is a process, not a state of being: a direction, not a destination. We have to earn a good life by first serving others without any anticipation in return because their happiness is the very source of our own happiness. More importantly, we must know ourselves inside out. Only when we examine ourselves deeply can we discover our abilities and recognize our limitations, and then work accordingly to create a better world. The first requirement for a good life is having a loving heart. When we do certain right things merely as a duty, we find our job so tiresome that we'll soon burn out. However, when we do that same job out of love, we not only enjoy what we do, but also do it with an effortless feeling. However, love alone is insufficient to lead a good life. Love sometimes blinds us to the reality. Consequently, our good intentions may not lead to good results. To achieve desired outcome, those who want to do good to others also need to equip themselves with accurate world knowledge. False knowledge is more dangerous than ignorance. If love is the engine of a car, knowledge is the steering wheel (方向盘). If the engine lacks power, the car can’t move; if the driver loses control of the steering, a road accident probably occurs. Only with love in heart and the right knowledge in mind can we lead a good life. With love and knowledge, we go all out to create a better world by doing good to others. When we see the impact of our good work on the world, we give meaning to our life and earn lasting joy and happiness. 51. What effect does the narrow perception of a good life have on us? A. Making us simple-minded. B. Making us short-sighted. C. Leading us onto a busy road. D. Keeping us from comfort and luxury. 52. According to the author, how can one gain true happiness? A. Through maintaining good health. B. By going through pain and suffering. C. By recognizing one’s abilities and limitations. D. Through offering help much needed by others. 53. According to Paragraph 4, doing certain right things with a loving heart makes one ________. A. less selfish B. less pessimistic C. more motivated D. more responsible 54. In what case may good intentions fail to lead to desired results? A. When we have wrong knowledge of the world. B. When our love for the world is insufficient. C. When we are insensitive to dangers in life. D. When we stay blind to the reality. 55. According to Paragraph 5, life can be made truly good when ________. A. inspired by love and guided by knowledge B. directed by love and pushed by knowledge C. purified by love and enriched by knowledge D. promoted by love and defined by knowledge 【答案】51. B 52. D 53. C 54. A 55. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了美好生活的秘诀是什么，人生的目的不是生而快乐，而是生而有益。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Most people prefer to live a good life themselves, ignoring their responsibilities for the world. This narrow perception of a good life may provide short-term benefits, but is sure to lead to long-term harm and suffering. (大多数人更喜欢自己过上好日子，而忽视了自己对世界的责任。这种对美好生活的狭隘看法可能会带来短期的好处，但肯定会导致长期的伤害和痛苦)”可知，对美好生活的狭隘看法只会带来短期好处，让我们忽视长远影响，即让我们目光短浅。故选B。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“We have to earn a good life by first serving others without any anticipation in return because their happiness is the very source of our own happiness. (我们必须首先为他人服务而不期望任何回报来赢得美好的生活，因为他们的幸福正是我们自己幸福的源泉)”可知，一个人通过为他人提供急需的帮助，才能获得真正的幸福。故选D。 【53题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“However, when we do that same job out of love, we not only enjoy what we do, but also do it with an effortless feeling. (然而，当我们出于爱做同样的工作时，我们不仅享受我们所做的，而且也以一种轻松的感觉去做)”可知，带着爱心去做正确的事情会让人更加享受过程，从而更有动力。故选C。 【54题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“However, love alone is insufficient to lead a good life. Love sometimes blinds us to the reality. Consequently, our good intentions may not lead to good results. To achieve desired outcome, those who want to do good to others also need to equip themselves with accurate world knowledge. (然而，光有爱是不够的。爱有时会让我们对现实视而不见。因此，我们的好意可能不会带来好的结果。为了达到预期的效果，那些想要为别人做好事的人也需要用准确的世界知识来武装自己)”可知，当我们对世界有错误的认识时，好心可能不会带来好的结果。故选A。 【55题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“Only with love in heart and the right knowledge in mind can we lead a good life. (只有心中有爱，心中有正确的知识，我们才能过上美好的生活)”可知，当生活受到爱的启发和知识的引导时，我们才能真正过上好日子。故选A。 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题 共35分） 第三部分：（共两节；满分35分） 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 One day in early 2009, my friend and I were on the road near Cape Town, South Africa. Then a disaster happened! My car began to make strange noises, slowed down and died. The place where it broke down was not the safest area. We sat there, and my friend was trying to start the car until the battery (电池) gave out. Drivers behind us were shouting. I had to get out and push the heavy car out of the way of traffic. Although I tried my best, the car was going nowhere. Then an elderly man covered in tattoos (纹身) walked towards us and helped push the car. My friend looked up into the rear-view mirror when she found she was moving and saw the blue-inked face of our assistant, screaming in shock. When we were safely in a lay-by (临时停车处) near the traffic lights, the tattooed man melted away into a thick bush at the side of the road. I phoned the AAA (American automobile Association) for help and was told that there would be an hour-long wait. I got out of the car for some fresh air. Unexpectedly, the tattooed man appeared at my side. “Is someone coming to help you?” he asked. My first thought was to lie, “Yes, my husband is a policeman, and his six friends at the police station will be here in seconds?” But there was kindness in his expression that made me tell him the truth. For the next hour, he sat with us on the side of the road, chatting with us. The hour flashed by. When the AAA arrived, he stood aside until he was satisfied that we really were mobile again, and then he stepped forward to say goodbye. As we drove away, I realized I made a right decision not to judge a book by its cover. 56.

What can you learn from the author’s experience? Explain it its your own words. （no more than 20 words） _____________________________________________________________ 【答案】56. Her car broke down and couldn’t be restarted. 57. He helped the author to push the car. 58. Disappeared. 59. Because there was kindness in the tattooed man’s expression. 60. Open. E.g.We should never judge or make a negative comment on anyone merely on the basis of their looks. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者在南非自驾时车辆抛锚，被一位纹身老人帮助后感悟不能以貌取人的故事。 【56题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“My car began to make strange noises, slowed down and died.(我的车开始发出奇怪的声音，慢慢停下来，然后熄火了。)”以及“We sat there, and my friend was trying to start the car until the battery gave out.(我们坐在那里，我的朋友一直试图发动汽车，直到电池耗尽。)”可知，作者的车抛锚了且无法重新启动。故填Her car broke down and couldn’t be restarted. 【57题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“Then an elderly man covered in tattoos walked towards us and helped push the car.(然后一位满身纹身的老人朝我们走来，帮忙推汽车。)”可知，纹身老人的帮助行为是帮作者推汽车。故填He helped the author to push the car. 【58题详解】 考查词义猜测。根据第三段中的“When we were safely in a lay-by near the traffic lights, the tattooed man melted away into a thick bush at the side of the road.(当我们安全到达红绿灯附近的临时停车处时，这位纹身老人melted away路边茂密的灌木丛中。)”可知，作者一行人到安全处后，老人便走进灌木丛没了踪影，因此“melted away”的意思为“消失”，故填Disappeared. 【59题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第四段中的“But there was kindness in his expression that made me tell him the truth.(但他的表情里透着善意，这让我告诉了他真相。)”可知，作者说出真相的原因是纹身老人的表情里有善意，故填Because there was kindness in the tattooed man’s expression. 【60题详解】 开放性试题。根据最后一段中的“As we drove away, I realized I made a right decision not to judge a book by its cover.(当我们开车离开时，我意识到我做了一个正确的决定——不要以貌取人。)”可知，文章的核心感悟是不能以貌取人。故填Open.

Therefore, some people conducted a survey on the phenomenon that tourists dropped litter on the Great Wall just on May 1 in recent years, finding that the amount of the rubbish left behind is increasing. From my point of view, the Great Wall, a symbol of China, plays a significant part in the history of our country. It can enhance nation’s sense of pride, self-confidence and patriotic enthusiasm. Hence, it’s our responsibility to protect it, leaving it as it was 2000 years ago. When visiting it, tourists should take away rubbish. With regard to protecting World Heritage Sites, we’d better educate people, raising their awareness. What’s more, substantial measures should be taken, such as restricting the number of visitors. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于图表作文。要求考生简要分析图表信息、谈谈你对游客在长城丢垃圾现象的看法以及就如何保护世界遗产给出你的建议。 【详解】1.词汇积累 实施：conduct→carry out 垃圾：rubbish→trash 关于：with regard to→concerning 在我看来：from my point of view→in my opinion 2.句式拓展 合并简单句 原句：From my point of view, the Great Wall, a symbol of China, plays a significant part in the history of our country.

Here are the best online language learning courses we’ve put together for your reference. Rosetta Stone Price: $7.99 per month — $199 one-time payment Number of languages: 28 Rosetta Stone has long been known as the go-to service for new language learners. It offers lessons that are short enough to complete each day, but long enough to actually get something out of. Rosetta Stone’s interface (界面) is generally easy to use, and its lessons include reading, writing, speaking and listening, all in one lesson. You can also choose to subscribe (订阅) to a monthly payment or purchase a lifetime license. Duolingo Price: Free — $6.99 per month Number of languages: 36 Duolingo has risen as a serious competitor to Rosetta Stone over the past few years. The service is perhaps best known for its Android and iOS apps and those apps are available for free, which makes it easy to practice your chosen language without having to make a serious commitment. Alternatively, you can sign up for Duolingo Plus, which removes ads, offers offline courses, and more. Many consider Duolingo to be better for those who want to practice a language rather than learning from the very beginning. Babbel Price: $6.95 per month — $12.95 per month Number of languages: 14 Looking for a service to challenge your language-learning skills? Babbel may be the way to go. Babbel is excellent at teaching phrases and words that you’ll actually use on a day-to-day basis. The service is also relatively cheap, so if you’re unsure if you want to commit to learning a new language yet, the low subscription prices ensure you don’t have to make a huge commitment. Memrise Price: $6.67 per month — $119.99 one-time payment Number of languages: 16 If you learn best through repetition and flashcards (识字卡), then Memrise may be the service for you. It’s relatively inexpensive, making it easier to sign up. Memrise isn’t necessarily the service for those who want to learn a language from scratch (从头开始), but it’s a great learning aid, and good for those who already have a foundation in language-learning. 36. What is special about Rosetta Stone? A. It features a simple interface without ads. B. It is intended for high-level learners. C. It helps improve various language skills. D. It offers a one-month free trial. 37. What is Babbel’s focus when it comes to teaching language? A. Grammatical rules and syntactic structures. B. Accent and pronunciation. C. Vocabulary and everyday phrases. D. Cultural customs and traditions. 38. Which of the following is TRUE about Memrise? A. It’s very expensive for most learners. B.

Our conversation was lively and full of news from both sides. Before we parted, she said, “You’ll have to drop in sometime.” I immediately sensed that if I simply “dropped in”, I would take my friend by surprise, and I would be discouraged by the image of her standing in her doorway, staring at me, and asking, “Oh, er ... what brings you here?” What ever happened to the unannounced drop-in visit? When I was growing up in the 1960s, it seemed that people mostly relatives, but also friends were always popping in. My parents would put coffee on, and my mom would find something in the kitchen to serve along with it. Then the conversation would begin... The neighbor lady, a worried, was unloading her sadness while my mom quietly listened. The Irish man next door had such an accent that I remember asking what language he spoke. My Polish relatives arrived in packs... But I never heard my parents say anything like “We weren’t expecting you” or “This isn’t a good time.” Drop-in visitors had a certain right of way and became No.1. What has happened to such visits? Actually I know the answer. Times have changed. Everybody gets busy with work. There is no longer a stay-at-home mom keeping a pot of hot coffee or tea ready throughout the day for a surprise guest. Booming malls and stores are now replacing homes as a central form of entertainment. Just the other day a former student of mine showed up. “I’m sorry for the surprise visit.” my student began. “I just wanted to see if you still lived here. I’ll only stay a minute.” My response was immediate. “No, you won’t,” I said. “Just come in, sit, have coffee, and we’ll talk.” I had nothing in the kitchen but we ordered pizza. And we had a lovely time. I have tried to keep the drop-in tradition alive though it takes some effort. 41. The author regarded his friend’s invitation — “You’ll have to drop in sometime” as ______. A. a kind of politeness B. an excuse of leaving C. a nice way of refusal D. an expression of surprise 42. The underlined phrase “popping in” in the second paragraph means ______.

A. modern people prefer outdoor activities B. unexpected visitors are still welcome now C. the author misses the lost good days D. there are more jobs for the housewives now 45. The author writes the passage intending to ______. A. encourage people to be drop-in visitors B. explain how to deal with unexpected visitors C. show the importance of making friends D. share his feelings about the drop-in tradition C According to the Solar Energy Industry Association, the number of solar panels installed (安装) has grown rapidly in the past decade, and it has to grow even faster to meet climate goals. But all of that growth will take up a lot of space, and though more and more people accept the concept of solar energy, few like large solar panels to be installed near them. Solar developers want to put up panels as quickly and cheaply as possible, so they haven’t given much thought to what they put under them. Often, they’ll end up filling the area with small stones and using chemicals to control weeds. The result is that many communities, especially in farming regions, see solar farms as destroyers of the soil. “Solar projects need to be good neighbors,” says Jordan Macknick, the head of the Innovative Site Preparation and Impact Reductions on the Environment (InSPIRE) project. “They need to be protectors of the land and contribute to the agricultural economy.” InSPIRE is investigating practical approaches to “low-impact” solar development, which focuses on establishing and operating solar farms in a way that is kinder to the land. One of the easiest low-impact solar strategies is providing habitat for pollinators(传粉昆虫). Habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change have caused dramatic declines in pollinator populations over the past couple of decades, which has damaged the U.S. agricultural economy. Over 28 states have passed laws related to pollinator habitat protection and pesticide use. Conservation organizations put out pollinator-friendliness guidelines for home gardens, businesses, schools, cities—and now there are guidelines for solar farms. Over the past few years, many solar farm developers have transformed the space under their solar panels into a shelter for various kinds of pollinators, resulting in soil improvement and carbon reduction. “These pollinator-friendly solar farms can have a valuable impact on everything that’s going on in the landscape,” says Macknick. 46. What do solar developers often ignore? A. The decline in the demand for solar energy. B. The negative impact of installing solar panels. C. The rising labor cost of building solar farms. D. The most recent advances in solar technology. 47. What does InSPIRE aim to do? A. Improve the productivity of local farms. B. Invent new methods for controlling weeds. C. Make solar projects environmentally friendly. D. Promote the use of solar energy in rural areas. 48. What is the purpose of the laws mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To protect pollinators. B. To restrict solar development. C. To diversify the economy. D. To ensure the supply of energy. 49. What is a benefit of pollinator-friendly solar farms according to the text? A. They reduce the cost of installing solar panels greatly. B. They help improve soil quality and lower carbon levels. C. They increase the demand for solar energy in rural areas. D. They allow farmers to use more pesticides on nearby fields. 50. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Pollinators: To Leave or to Stay B. Solar Energy: Hope for the Future C. InSPIRE: A Leader in Agriculture D. Solar Farms: A New Development D Ralph Emerson once said that the purpose of life is not to be happy, but to be useful, to be loving, to make some difference in the world. While we appreciate such words of wisdom, we rarely try to follow them in our lives. Most people prefer to live a good life themselves, ignoring their responsibilities for the world. This narrow perception of a good life may provide short-term benefits, but is sure to lead to long-term harm and suffering. A good life based on comfort and luxury may eventually lead to more pain because we spoil our health and even our character, principles, ideals, and relationships. What then, is the secret of a good life? A good life is a process, not a state of being: a direction, not a destination. We have to earn a good life by first serving others without any anticipation in return because their happiness is the very source of our own happiness. More importantly, we must know ourselves inside out. Only when we examine ourselves deeply can we discover our abilities and recognize our limitations, and then work accordingly to create a better world. The first requirement for a good life is having a loving heart. When we do certain right things merely as a duty, we find our job so tiresome that we'll soon burn out. However, when we do that same job out of love, we not only enjoy what we do, but also do it with an effortless feeling. However, love alone is insufficient to lead a good life. Love sometimes blinds us to the reality. Consequently, our good intentions may not lead to good results. To achieve desired outcome, those who want to do good to others also need to equip themselves with accurate world knowledge. False knowledge is more dangerous than ignorance. If love is the engine of a car, knowledge is the steering wheel (方向盘). If the engine lacks power, the car can’t move; if the driver loses control of the steering, a road accident probably occurs. Only with love in heart and the right knowledge in mind can we lead a good life. With love and knowledge, we go all out to create a better world by doing good to others. When we see the impact of our good work on the world, we give meaning to our life and earn lasting joy and happiness. 51. What effect does the narrow perception of a good life have on us? A. Making us simple-minded. B. Making us short-sighted. C. Leading us onto a busy road. D. Keeping us from comfort and luxury. 52. According to the author, how can one gain true happiness? A. Through maintaining good health. B. By going through pain and suffering. C. By recognizing one’s abilities and limitations. D. Through offering help much needed by others. 53. According to Paragraph 4, doing certain right things with a loving heart makes one ________. A. less selfish B. less pessimistic C. more motivated D. more responsible 54. In what case may good intentions fail to lead to desired results? A. When we have wrong knowledge of the world. B. When our love for the world is insufficient. C. When we are insensitive to dangers in life. D. When we stay blind to the reality. 55. According to Paragraph 5, life can be made truly good when ________. A. inspired by love and guided by knowledge B. directed by love and pushed by knowledge C. purified by love and enriched by knowledge D. promoted by love and defined by knowledge 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题 共35分） 第三部分：（共两节；满分35分） 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 One day in early 2009, my friend and I were on the road near Cape Town, South Africa. Then a disaster happened! My car began to make strange noises, slowed down and died. The place where it broke down was not the safest area. We sat there, and my friend was trying to start the car until the battery (电池) gave out. Drivers behind us were shouting. I had to get out and push the heavy car out of the way of traffic. Although I tried my best, the car was going nowhere. Then an elderly man covered in tattoos (纹身) walked towards us and helped push the car. My friend looked up into the rear-view mirror when she found she was moving and saw the blue-inked face of our assistant, screaming in shock. When we were safely in a lay-by (临时停车处) near the traffic lights, the tattooed man melted away into a thick bush at the side of the road. I phoned the AAA (American automobile Association) for help and was told that there would be an hour-long wait. I got out of the car for some fresh air. Unexpectedly, the tattooed man appeared at my side. “Is someone coming to help you?” he asked. My first thought was to lie, “Yes, my husband is a policeman, and his six friends at the police station will be here in seconds?” But there was kindness in his expression that made me tell him the truth. For the next hour, he sat with us on the side of the road, chatting with us. The hour flashed by. When the AAA arrived, he stood aside until he was satisfied that we really were mobile again, and then he stepped forward to say goodbye. As we drove away, I realized I made a right decision not to judge a book by its cover. 56.
