Before the peak summer crowds roll in, you can explore unique scenic spots with out the overwhelming rush of tourists. Several destinations around the globe are especially notable for their breathtaking spring offerings. Puebla This city in central Mexico attracts visitors with its UNESCO-recognized historic structures. Spring marks the final few months of Puebla's dry season and temperatures average around 21℃ — just right for wandering through the city's main square, or admiring baroque architecture like Capilla del Rosario. Machu Picchu Spring is a time of transition (过渡) at Machu Picchu. Tourists looking for ideal weather can book a trip in May, the beginning of this Peruvian heritage site’s dry season. No matter when you visit,you' ll be glad you have come as you set eyes on the 600-year-old Inca Citadel, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. Yellowstone National Park As the snowfall starts to slow down, baby animals emerge in Yellowstone, making this national park an excellent place to spot wildlife in spring. Tourists can hike on the lower elevation (高度) trails that open in April and May, while those who love mammals can keep their eyes peeled forbears coming out of hibernation with their cubs. Arches National Park You’ll be comfortable while exploring the park’s 2,000 arches or biking along its scenic paved roads.If you’re willing to risk a cold front, you can avoid the crowds during a March trip. During the peak months of April and May, all park visitors will need a reservation to enter — an easy trade — off for perfect weather and seeing desert blooms sprout. 1. What is the advantage of travelling in spring? A. There are fewer crowds. B. Tourists will feel more secure. C. More tourist sites are available. D. It's fun to enjoy the last days of snow. 2. Which destination is suitable for animal lovers? A. Puebla. B. Machu Picchu. C. Yellowstone National Park. D. Arches National Park. 3. What are visitors expected to do when visiting Arches National Park in April? A. Trade tickets for blooms. B. Wear thick clothes. C. Secure an entry reservation. D. Cycle in cold weather. 【答案】1. A 2. C 3. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了全球几个以其令人惊叹的春季美食而闻名的目的地。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。由第一段中“As the snow begins to melt away into a distant memory, be sure to head outdoors this spring. Before the peak summer crowds roll in, you can explore unique scenic spots with out the overwhelming rush of tourists.(随着雪开始融化成遥远的记忆，今年春天一定要去户外。在夏季高峰期人群涌入之前，你可以在没有巨大的游客量涌入的情况下探索独特的景点)”可知，春天旅行的好处在于游客较少。故选A项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。由Yellowstone National Park中“As the snowfall starts to slow down, baby animals emerge in Yellowstone, making this national park an excellent place to spot wildlife in spring.(随着降雪开始放缓，黄石公园出现了小动物，使这个国家公园成为春季观赏野生动物的好地方)”可知，Yellowstone National Park适合动物爱好者。故选C项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。由Arches National Park中“During the peak months of April and May, all park visitors will need a reservation to enter — an easy trade — off for perfect weather and seeing desert blooms sprout.(在4月和5月的高峰期，所有公园游客都需要预订才能进入——这是一个很容易的交易——以获得完美的天气和看到沙漠花朵发芽)”可知，游客在四月参观Arches National Park时应该提前预订。故选C项。 B Gathering ingredients for my favorite sandwich takes time. Certainly more than 10 seconds — the time my fridge allows me to quietly search inside. After those 10 seconds, a series of ear-piercing beeps begin — an alarm to remind forgetful humans to close its doors. My suspicion is that the alarm, which cannot be neutralized, was designed to stop my late-night search in the fridge — my wife has long warned me that midnight snacking is bad for my waistline. The frightened fridge is just one example of the creations by engineer-designers who are convinced that seniors like me can’t survive without beeping reminders. My car beeps constantly, particularly when I get out. There is simply no way to stop it. At first, I thought the car was just too sad to see me go. It is not just the fridge and the car. Once I started paying attention, I realized our environment is filled with reminder noises. The stove (炉灶) sings too — leave a burner on and it performs its own little concert. As for my phone, even after turning off every notification I can find, calendar reminders still get through. So I went online looking for a solution — and found a video of an equally frustrated man taking apart the beeper on the exact same fridge model. I can handle the fix. But now the question is: Do I really want to? What if I leave the fridge door partly open and ruin a costly roast? What if I miss the notification that reminds me of an appointment I may forget? The consequences of an unbeeped life may be too serious to risk. Finally, tool in hand, I stand before the fridge. If there were a silence option, I might leave it alone. But there isn’t — and I’ve had enough. I’ll remove the noise-maker and put a sticky note on the door instead, reminding me to close it. The reward of a successful late-night search for a delicious sandwich is definitely worth it. 4. What does the underlined word “neutralized” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Used. B. Heard. C. Disabled. D. Repaired. 5. The stove and phone are mentioned to illustrate that ________. A. elderly people have a failing memory B. modern machines are poorly designed C. technology changes seniors’ living habits D. beeping alarms are unavoidable in daily life 6. What can be inferred about the author from paragraph 4? A. He fails to find a way to stop the noise. B. He considers the online video unhelpful. C. He worries about life without reminders. D. He is unable to fix the fridge by himself. 7. What does the author finally decide to do about the fridge? A. Buy a much quieter fridge. B. Tolerate the disturbing noise. C. Avoid late-night searches in it. D. Replace the alarm with a note. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了作者对生活中各种提醒噪音的困扰，并最终决定采取措施解决冰箱噪音问题的故事。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“After those 10 seconds, a series of ear-piercing beeps begin — an alarm to remind forgetful humans to close its doors. My suspicion is that the alarm, which cannot be neutralized, was designed to stop my late-night search in the fridge — my wife has long warned me that midnight snacking is bad for my waistline.(10秒后，一系列刺耳的嘟嘟声响起，提醒健忘的人关门。我怀疑这个无法neutralized的警报是为了阻止我深夜在冰箱里搜查——我妻子早就警告过我，午夜吃零食对我的腰围有害)”可知，提醒噪音在日常生活中无处不在，所以无法消除，可推测出neutralized意思是“使失效，关闭”，与C选项“Disabled（使失效）”意思相近。故选C。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“It is not just the fridge and the car. Once I started paying attention, I realized our environment is filled with reminder noises. The stove (炉灶) sings too — leave a burner on and it performs its own little concert. As for my phone, even after turning off every notification I can find, calendar reminders still get through.(不仅仅是冰箱和汽车。一旦我开始注意，我意识到我们的环境充满了提醒噪音。炉灶也会唱歌——留一个燃烧器开着，它就会演奏自己的小音乐会。至于我的手机，即使关掉了我能找到的每一个通知，日历提醒还是会传过来)”可推知，提到炉灶和手机是为了说明日常生活中哔哔的警报声是不可避免的。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“What if I leave the fridge door partly open and ruin a costly roast? What if I miss the notification that reminds me of an appointment I may forget? The consequences of an unbeeped life may be too serious to risk.(如果我把冰箱门半开着，毁掉了一份昂贵的烤肉怎么办？如果我错过了提醒我可能会忘记的约会的通知怎么办？没有提醒的生活后果可能太严重，不能冒险)”可推知，作者担心没有提醒会带来不良后果。故选C。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“I’ll remove the noise-maker and put a sticky note on the door instead, reminding me to close it.(我会把噪音制造者拿走，在门上贴一张便利贴，提醒我关上它)”可知，作者最终决定用便条代替警报。故选D。 C Dr. Nancy Roman, born in 1925, who was celebrated as a pioneer for female scientists and had advanced the launch of the Hubble Space Telescope, died on Dec 25, 2018. When Nancy Roman asked for permission to take a second algebra (代数) course in high school, a teacher demanded to know “what lady would take mathematics instead of Latin”. In college, a professor admitted that he often tried to prevent women from majoring in physics but Nancy stuck to it. And after receiving Doctor’s degree in astronomy, she found a professional home at NASA (美国宇航局). In 1959, Dr. Roman became the first chief of astronomy at NASA headquarters, a role that made her one of the agency’s first female leaders. Dr. Roman spent much of her career helping develop, fund and promote technology that would help scientists see more clearly beyond Earths atmosphere. But her most well-known work was perhaps leading to design the Hubble Space Telescope the first major telescope to be sent into space for the purpose of gathering photographs and data from the universe. She was, therefore, named as “the mother of Hubble”. “She made it possible to get the early telescope up into space to learn what needed to be learned,” said science historian Bob Zimmerman, and her hard-nosed nature helped get the telescope built. The telescope did not launch until 1990, a little more than a decade after Dr. Roman retired, but when it did, its photographs of the universe thrilled the world. “I am glad,” she once told Science, “I ignored the people who told me that I could not be an astronomer.” 8. What can we conclude from the teacher’s reaction to Nancy Roman’s application for taking a second algebra course? A. The teacher doubted it. B. The teacher didn’t care about it. C. The teacher accepted it at once. D. The teacher was strongly against it. 9. What was the most famous achievement of Nancy Roman’s work? A. She was one of the founders of NASA. B. She proved the black hole really existed. C. She led to design the Hubble Space Telescope. D. She was the first female astronomer in the world. 10. When did Dr. Nancy Roman probably retire? A. In 1969. B. In 1979. C. In 1990. D. In 2000. 11. What can we learn from Dr. Nancy Roman’s words in the last paragraph? A. She was very proud of what she had done for the country. B. She thought highly of the people who hadn’t believed her. C. She had hard-nosed nature and never cared about other people’s opinions. D. She was delighted to be an astronomer despite discrimination against her. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了南希•罗曼摒弃他人偏见，成为一个天文学家的故事。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“When Nancy Roman asked for permission to take a second algebra (代数) course in high school, a teacher demanded to know “what lady would take mathematics instead of Latin”.(当南希·罗曼请求允许她在高中学习第二门代数课程时，一位老师问她“哪个女士会选择数学而不是拉丁语”)”可推知，老师对此表示怀疑。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Dr. Nancy Roman, born in 1925, who was celebrated as a pioneer for female scientists and had advanced the launch of the Hubble Space Telescope, died on Dec 25, 2018.(南希·罗曼博士生于1925年，被誉为女性科学家的先驱，并推动了哈勃太空望远镜的发射，她于2018年12月25日去世)”可知，南希•罗曼的作品最著名的成就领导设计了哈勃太空望远镜。故选C项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The telescope did not launch until 1990, a little more than a decade after Dr. Roman retired, but when it did, its photographs of the universe thrilled the world.(这台望远镜直到1990年才发射升空，也就是罗曼博士退休10年多一点之后，但当它发射升空时，它拍摄的宇宙照片震惊了世界)”可知，这架望远镜直到1990年才发射，也就是罗曼博士退休后的十多年，即她是在七十年代退休的。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中““I am glad,” she once told Science, “I ignored the people who told me that I could not be an astronomer.”(“我很高兴，”她曾对《科学》杂志说，“我忽视了那些说我不能成为天文学家的人。”)”可推知，她很高兴成为一名天文学家，但对那些对她有偏见的人却不尽然。故选D项。 D Human harvesting of krill (磷虾) in the Southern Ocean could threaten the recovery of whale species that were nearly wiped out by industrial whaling in the 20th century, according to a study in Nature Communications. Krill are the essential food source for baleen whales such as blue whales and humpbacks. Booming demand for krill, however, could leave whales without enough food to sustain despite their decreasing numbers. “Our calculations suggest an alarming possibility that we might harvest krill to the point where we do real damage to recovering whale populations,” said lead study author Matthew Savoca from the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability. In the nearly 40 years since a global whaling ban went into effect in 1986, some Southern Ocean species, particularly humpbacks, have made an impressive comeback. Yet, this recovery has taken place against increasing competition with humans for the whales’ critical food source. Over the past 30 years, the krill catch has doubled to around 400,000 tons annually and is set to expand further. Savoca and his colleagues calculated how much krill was left in the Southern Ocean for baleen whales, seabirds, and other predators to eat after industrial krill harvesting at current rates, and compared it with the estimated amount of krill available before industrial whaling began. “The basic math makes it clear that the current krill biomass (生物量) cannot support both an expanding krill fishery and the recovery of whale populations to pre-whaling size.” said Savoca. The study offers suggestions for how the CCAMLR, an international organization that manages Southern Ocean fisheries, can help prevent disaster. Regulation of the areas and times of year when commercial krill boats can operate to minimize competition with whales is a starting point. As for the krill themselves, improved monitoring to bring in more data on krill eggs and larvae (幼虫) hotspots could identify zones to ban or limit fishing. The researchers hope their study will inspire more serious accounting and deeper investigations into whales and the krill themselves, ultimately forming a path ahead that preserves the delicate ecological balance in the Southern Ocean. 12. What does the study in Nature Communications mainly suggest? A. Baleen whales have made an impressive comeback. B. Krill play a big role in the Southern Ocean ecosystem. C. It’s wise to expand krill harvesting to support economic growth. D. Current krill harvesting practices may destroy whale recovery efforts. 13. What do we know about the current krill biomass? A. It is likely to bounce back. B. It doesn’t hold much research value. C. It has increased greatly in the past 30 years. D. It is insufficient to support the local ecosystem. 14. What is mainly discussed in the fifth paragraph? A. The ways to boost krill-related economic growth. B. The practical measures taken by the CCAMLR. C. The proposals put forward by the researchers. D. The conflicts between whales and humans. 15. What would be a suitable title for the text? A. Great Economic Benefits from Krill Harvesting B. Krill Harvesting: A Threat to Whale Recovery C. The Connection Between Whales and Krill D. Restoration Efforts for Baleen Whales 【答案】12. D 13. D 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了人类捕捞磷虾可能威胁到鲸鱼种群的恢复。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Human harvesting of krill (磷虾) in the Southern Ocean could threaten the recovery of whale species that were nearly wiped out by industrial whaling in the 20th century, according to a study in Nature Communications. (根据《自然・通讯》杂志上的一项研究，人类在南大洋对磷虾的捕捞可能会威胁到那些在 20世纪几乎被工业捕鲸活动赶尽杀绝的鲸鱼物种的恢复。)”可知，《自然・通讯》上的一项研究表明人类在南大洋捕捞磷虾可能会威胁到在 20 世纪几乎被工业捕鲸灭绝的鲸鱼物种的恢复。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段““The basic math makes it clear that the current krill biomass (生物量) cannot support both an expanding krill fishery and the recovery of whale populations to pre-whaling size.” said Savoca. (萨沃卡说：“基本的数学计算清楚地表明，目前的磷虾生物量无法同时支撑起不断扩大的磷虾捕捞业，以及鲸鱼种群恢复到捕鲸活动开展前的规模。”)”可知，目前的磷虾生物量无法同时支持不断扩大的磷虾捕捞业和鲸鱼种群恢复到捕鲸前的规模，由此可推知，目前的磷虾生物量不足以支持当地的生态系统。故选D。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段“The study offers suggestions for how the CCAMLR, an international organization that manages Southern Ocean fisheries, can help prevent disaster. Regulation of the areas and times of year when commercial krill boats can operate to minimize competition with whales is a starting point. As for the krill themselves, improved monitoring to bring in more data on krill eggs and larvae (幼虫) hotspots could identify zones to ban or limit fishing. (这项研究就管理南大洋渔业的国际组织——南极海洋生物资源保护委员会如何有助于预防灾难提出了建议。对商业捕磷虾船的作业区域和一年中的作业时间进行监管，以尽量减少与鲸鱼的竞争，这是一个起点。至于磷虾本身，加强监测以获取更多有关磷虾卵和幼虫聚集热点区域的数据，有助于确定禁止或限制捕捞的区域。)”可知，该段主要讨论了研究人员针对管理南大洋渔业的国际组织 CCAMLR 如何帮助防止灾难提出的建议，包括规范商业磷虾船的作业区域和时间，以及加强对磷虾卵和幼虫热点地区的监测等。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的“Human harvesting of krill (磷虾) in the Southern Ocean could threaten the recovery of whale species that were nearly wiped out by industrial whaling in the 20th century, according to a study in Nature Communications. (《自然・通讯》杂志上的一项研究表明，人类在南大洋捕捞磷虾，可能会威胁到那些在 20 世纪因工业捕鲸而几乎灭绝的鲸鱼物种的恢复。)”可知，文章开篇指出人类在南大洋捕捞磷虾可能威胁到鲸鱼种群的恢复，接着介绍了磷虾对鲸鱼的重要性、目前磷虾捕捞的情况以及当前磷虾生物量的现状，还提到了研究人员的建议，整体围绕着磷虾捕捞对鲸鱼恢复的威胁展开。选项B“Krill Harvesting: A Threat to Whale Recovery (磷虾捕捞：威胁鲸鱼恢复)”适合作本文的标题。故选B。 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。 Imagine this: A big earthquake is about to hit. The ground is still and the sky is clear. Humans go about their day, unaware of what’s coming. But the animals? They know. Dogs start barking uncontrollably and birds fly away in a confused mess. Even fish act strangely, swimming quickly in wild patterns. Hours later — disaster hits. ____16____ Months before a 7.3 magnitude (震级) earthquake hit Haicheng, China, in 1975, villagers reported snakes waking up and coming out in the dead of winter and dogs acting in an unusual way. ____17____ This decision saved thousands of lives. Similarly, before the disastrous Indian Ocean Tsunami in 2004, elephants were observed running inland and birds deserting their low-lying nesting areas. Many wild animals seemed to escape to safety. ____18____ The answer lies in their ability to pick up signals we don’t notice. Many animals have heightened sensitivity to vibrations (震动) in the ground. Elephants, for example, can sense earthquake waves through their feet. Changes in air pressure and electrostatic fields (静电场) provide other warning signals. Birds and insects are highly sensitive to air pressure, which often changes before hurricanes and tsunamis. ____19____ Dogs, known for their powerful noses, might pick up these slight chemical changes before humans. Do humans still have this instinct (本能)? Before modern technology, humans depended on natural instincts to survive. Have you ever had a strong feeling that something bad was about to happen? Have you ever changed plans at the last minute, only to realize you avoided an accident? ____20____ But we ignore them and trust our reasoning. Animals don’t second-guess themselves — they just react. A. How do animals know? B. What signals do animals sense? C. Modern technology has made us forget these skills. D. Some scientists believe we still have potential survival instincts. E. Earthquakes sometimes send out gases from underground faults. F. The government took the warnings seriously and told people to leave. G. Real-world cases prove that animals can sense disasters before they hit. 【答案】16. G 17. F 18. A 19. E 20. D 【解析】 【导语】主要列举多地动物预知地震海啸的实例，分析动物感知灾难的原理，并探讨人类是否仍保留这类生存本能。 【16题详解】 根据前文“Dogs start barking uncontrollably and birds fly away in a confused mess. Even fish act strangely, swimming quickly in wild patterns. Hours later — disaster hits.(狗开始失控狂吠，鸟儿慌乱飞走，鱼儿游动异常，数小时后灾难降临。)”可知，前文描绘动物反常行为提前预示灾难的情景。G选项“Real-world cases prove that animals can sense disasters before they hit.(现实案例证明动物能在灾难来临前感知到危险。)”总结上文场景，总领下文真实事例，符合语境。 【17题详解】 根据前文“Months before a 7.3 magnitude (震级) earthquake hit Haicheng, China, in 1975, villagers reported snakes waking up and coming out in the dead of winter and dogs acting in an unusual way (早在1975年中国海城发生7.3级大地震的数月前，村民们就发现，隆冬时节本该冬眠的蛇纷纷苏醒出洞，狗狗也出现了反常的行为。)”以及空后“This decision saved thousands of lives.(这一决定挽救了数千人的生命。)”可知，空格处应填入政府根据动物异常现象做出防灾举措。F选项“The government took the warnings seriously and told people to leave.(政府重视这一预警并通知民众撤离。)”承接前文动物反常迹象，照应后文挽救生命的结果，符合语境。 【18题详解】 根据空后“The answer lies in their ability to pick up signals we don’t notice.(答案在于它们能够捕捉到人类察觉不到的信号。)”可知，后文回答动物预知灾难的原因，空格处应为提出相关疑问。A选项“How do animals know?(动物是如何预知的？)”提出设问，引出下文原理分析，承上启下，符合语境。 【19题详解】 根据后文“Dogs, known for their powerful noses, might pick up these slight chemical changes before humans.(嗅觉灵敏的狗能比人类提前察觉这些细微的化学变化。)”可知，后文提到化学变化，空格处应说明地震会释放相关气体。E选项“Earthquakes sometimes send out gases from underground faults.(地震有时会从地下断层释放出气体。)”为后文化学变化与狗狗嗅觉感知提供依据，衔接自然，符合语境。 【20题详解】 根据前文“Have you ever had a strong feeling that something bad was about to happen? Have you ever changed plans at the last minute, only to realize you avoided an accident?(你是否曾有不祥预感、临时改计划从而避开意外？)”以及后文“But we ignore them and trust our reasoning.(但我们忽略本能，只相信理性判断。)”可知，空格处承接人类有莫名预感的现象，说明人类仍保有生存本能。D选项“Some scientists believe we still have potential survival instincts.(一些科学家认为我们仍拥有潜在的生存本能。)”衔接前后文，形成转折逻辑，符合语境。 第三部分 语言知识运用(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。 My parents and I never really saw eye to eye on anything.

He knew exactly what he wanted to do with his life— to play the guitar in his own band. Fausto decided to earn money to buy a guitar. He turned off the television, hopped onto his sister’s bike and rode north to the nicer section of Fresno in search of work. He went from door to door, but after three hours he managed to get only one job— being asked to hurry down to the store to buy a loaf of bread, for which he received a dirty quarter. While he was sitting in a park eating an orange, a dog approached him. It was a fancy dog, with a shiny collar and a tag with his name, Roger, and address. This dog looked like he belonged to rich people. An idea flashed across Fausto’s mind. He decided to take Roger home and collect a reward, saying he had found him near the freeway which is 15 miles away. The lie formed easily, but a small, cold knot of unease tightened unexpectedly in his stomach as Fausto walked the dog to its house. He knocked. A woman in a silky bathrobe opened the door. “Ma’ am,” Fausto said, gripping Roger by the collar. “I found your dog by the freeway. His tag says he lives here, doesn’t he?” “That’s right!” the woman replied in a surprised and joyful voice. She then invited Fausto to come into the house. Fausto looked around, amazed by the shiny furniture. “You’re probably hungry after your good deed,” the woman said, bringing Fausto a tall glass of milk and a warm apple pie. Fausto ate, aware of the woman’s caring eyes watching him. He felt embarrassed by lying to such a kind lady. “That was good,” he said after he finished. “Thank you, Ma’ am! Now I have to go home.” As Fausto walked to the door, the woman opened her purse and took out two bills. “For your honesty and help,” she said warmly, pressing two hundred dollars into his hand. “You’re a good boy.” Fausto couldn’t meet her gaze, his face burning with a sudden feeling of shame that went deeper than mere embarrassment. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右; (2)请按照如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 With the money gripped tightly in his hand, Fausto headed to the music shop ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Turning his back on the shining guitar, Fausto walked with determination towards the woman’s house. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 With the money gripped tightly in his hand, Fausto headed to the music shop. The very guitar he had dreamed of was shining there. Hardly could he tear his gaze away from the instrument, imagining his fingers dancing on its strings. Yet, a sense of guilt pierced his heart. “It is not the right way to fulfill a dream”, a voice whispered inside him. The crisp bills in his hand, now felt like a weight too heavy to bear. Lost in the painful conflict between temptation and conscience, he stood motionless, feeling ashamed. Turning his back on the shining guitar, Fausto walked with determination towards the woman’s house. He knocked on the door firmly. When the woman appeared with a surprised look, Fausto confessed everything. “Actually,” he said, his voice steady, “it was my honesty that was almost lost, not just your dog.” Moved by his courage and integrity, the lady, whose eyes softened with an understanding smile, not only insisted he keep the reward but also offered him an old guitar from her attic. It was this act of honesty, not the money, that truly fulfilled his dream. 【解析】 【导语】本文以主人公Fausto内心的道德挣扎为线索展开，讲述了他为买吉他而撒谎送还宠物狗以获得报酬，却在得到善良女主人的信任和奖励后深感愧疚，最终选择坦白真相，意外收获了真诚的理解与帮助的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Fausto手里紧紧攥着钱，朝乐器店走去。”可知，第一段可描写Fausto在乐器店看到心仪吉他时的内心挣扎。 ②由第二段首句内容“Fausto转过身，背对着那把闪亮的吉他，坚定地朝那位女士的家走去。”可知，第二段可描写Fausto坦白真相的过程，以及女主人对他的理解与善意回馈。 2.续写线索：前往乐器店——看到吉他——内心挣扎——决定坦白——返回女主人家——承认撒谎——获得谅解——收获意外帮助 3.词汇激活 行为类： ①凝视：tear his gaze away/look away/ avert his eyes ②坦白：confess/admit/reveal the truth ③坚持：insist/persist 情绪类： ①愧疚感：sense of guilt/feeling of shame/remorse ②内心的冲突：painful conflict/inner struggle/moral dilemma 【点睛】[高分句型1] Hardly could he tear his gaze away from the stunning instrument, imagining his fingers dancing on its strings.（运用了否定词置于句首引起的部分倒装结构，以及现在分词短语作伴随状语） [高分句型2] Moved by his courage and integrity, the lady, whose eyes softened with an understanding smile, not only insisted he keep the reward but also offered him an old guitar from her attic.（运用了由关系代词whose引导的非限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 无锡市第一女子中学期中学情调研 高二英语 注意事项及说明： 1.试卷共150分，考试时间120分钟。 2.答案一律写在答题卡上。考试结束时，上交答题卡。 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段录音。每段录音后有几个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

Before the peak summer crowds roll in, you can explore unique scenic spots with out the overwhelming rush of tourists. Several destinations around the globe are especially notable for their breathtaking spring offerings. Puebla This city in central Mexico attracts visitors with its UNESCO-recognized historic structures. Spring marks the final few months of Puebla's dry season and temperatures average around 21℃ — just right for wandering through the city's main square, or admiring baroque architecture like Capilla del Rosario. Machu Picchu Spring is a time of transition (过渡) at Machu Picchu. Tourists looking for ideal weather can book a trip in May, the beginning of this Peruvian heritage site’s dry season. No matter when you visit,you' ll be glad you have come as you set eyes on the 600-year-old Inca Citadel, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. Yellowstone National Park As the snowfall starts to slow down, baby animals emerge in Yellowstone, making this national park an excellent place to spot wildlife in spring. Tourists can hike on the lower elevation (高度) trails that open in April and May, while those who love mammals can keep their eyes peeled forbears coming out of hibernation with their cubs. Arches National Park You’ll be comfortable while exploring the park’s 2,000 arches or biking along its scenic paved roads.If you’re willing to risk a cold front, you can avoid the crowds during a March trip. During the peak months of April and May, all park visitors will need a reservation to enter — an easy trade — off for perfect weather and seeing desert blooms sprout. 1. What is the advantage of travelling in spring? A. There are fewer crowds. B. Tourists will feel more secure. C. More tourist sites are available. D. It's fun to enjoy the last days of snow. 2. Which destination is suitable for animal lovers? A. Puebla. B. Machu Picchu. C. Yellowstone National Park. D. Arches National Park. 3. What are visitors expected to do when visiting Arches National Park in April? A. Trade tickets for blooms. B. Wear thick clothes. C. Secure an entry reservation. D. Cycle in cold weather. B Gathering ingredients for my favorite sandwich takes time. Certainly more than 10 seconds — the time my fridge allows me to quietly search inside. After those 10 seconds, a series of ear-piercing beeps begin — an alarm to remind forgetful humans to close its doors. My suspicion is that the alarm, which cannot be neutralized, was designed to stop my late-night search in the fridge — my wife has long warned me that midnight snacking is bad for my waistline. The frightened fridge is just one example of the creations by engineer-designers who are convinced that seniors like me can’t survive without beeping reminders. My car beeps constantly, particularly when I get out. There is simply no way to stop it. At first, I thought the car was just too sad to see me go. It is not just the fridge and the car. Once I started paying attention, I realized our environment is filled with reminder noises. The stove (炉灶) sings too — leave a burner on and it performs its own little concert. As for my phone, even after turning off every notification I can find, calendar reminders still get through. So I went online looking for a solution — and found a video of an equally frustrated man taking apart the beeper on the exact same fridge model. I can handle the fix. But now the question is: Do I really want to? What if I leave the fridge door partly open and ruin a costly roast? What if I miss the notification that reminds me of an appointment I may forget? The consequences of an unbeeped life may be too serious to risk. Finally, tool in hand, I stand before the fridge. If there were a silence option, I might leave it alone. But there isn’t — and I’ve had enough. I’ll remove the noise-maker and put a sticky note on the door instead, reminding me to close it. The reward of a successful late-night search for a delicious sandwich is definitely worth it. 4. What does the underlined word “neutralized” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Used. B. Heard. C. Disabled. D. Repaired. 5. The stove and phone are mentioned to illustrate that ________. A. elderly people have a failing memory B. modern machines are poorly designed C. technology changes seniors’ living habits D. beeping alarms are unavoidable in daily life 6. What can be inferred about the author from paragraph 4? A. He fails to find a way to stop the noise. B. He considers the online video unhelpful. C. He worries about life without reminders. D. He is unable to fix the fridge by himself. 7. What does the author finally decide to do about the fridge? A. Buy a much quieter fridge. B. Tolerate the disturbing noise. C. Avoid late-night searches in it. D. Replace the alarm with a note. C Dr. Nancy Roman, born in 1925, who was celebrated as a pioneer for female scientists and had advanced the launch of the Hubble Space Telescope, died on Dec 25, 2018. When Nancy Roman asked for permission to take a second algebra (代数) course in high school, a teacher demanded to know “what lady would take mathematics instead of Latin”. In college, a professor admitted that he often tried to prevent women from majoring in physics but Nancy stuck to it. And after receiving Doctor’s degree in astronomy, she found a professional home at NASA (美国宇航局). In 1959, Dr. Roman became the first chief of astronomy at NASA headquarters, a role that made her one of the agency’s first female leaders. Dr. Roman spent much of her career helping develop, fund and promote technology that would help scientists see more clearly beyond Earths atmosphere. But her most well-known work was perhaps leading to design the Hubble Space Telescope the first major telescope to be sent into space for the purpose of gathering photographs and data from the universe. She was, therefore, named as “the mother of Hubble”. “She made it possible to get the early telescope up into space to learn what needed to be learned,” said science historian Bob Zimmerman, and her hard-nosed nature helped get the telescope built. The telescope did not launch until 1990, a little more than a decade after Dr. Roman retired, but when it did, its photographs of the universe thrilled the world. “I am glad,” she once told Science, “I ignored the people who told me that I could not be an astronomer.” 8. What can we conclude from the teacher’s reaction to Nancy Roman’s application for taking a second algebra course? A. The teacher doubted it. B. The teacher didn’t care about it. C. The teacher accepted it at once. D. The teacher was strongly against it. 9. What was the most famous achievement of Nancy Roman’s work? A. She was one of the founders of NASA. B. She proved the black hole really existed. C. She led to design the Hubble Space Telescope. D. She was the first female astronomer in the world. 10. When did Dr. Nancy Roman probably retire? A. In 1969. B. In 1979. C. In 1990. D. In 2000. 11. What can we learn from Dr. Nancy Roman’s words in the last paragraph? A. She was very proud of what she had done for the country. B. She thought highly of the people who hadn’t believed her. C. She had hard-nosed nature and never cared about other people’s opinions. D. She was delighted to be an astronomer despite discrimination against her. D Human harvesting of krill (磷虾) in the Southern Ocean could threaten the recovery of whale species that were nearly wiped out by industrial whaling in the 20th century, according to a study in Nature Communications. Krill are the essential food source for baleen whales such as blue whales and humpbacks. Booming demand for krill, however, could leave whales without enough food to sustain despite their decreasing numbers. “Our calculations suggest an alarming possibility that we might harvest krill to the point where we do real damage to recovering whale populations,” said lead study author Matthew Savoca from the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability. In the nearly 40 years since a global whaling ban went into effect in 1986, some Southern Ocean species, particularly humpbacks, have made an impressive comeback. Yet, this recovery has taken place against increasing competition with humans for the whales’ critical food source. Over the past 30 years, the krill catch has doubled to around 400,000 tons annually and is set to expand further. Savoca and his colleagues calculated how much krill was left in the Southern Ocean for baleen whales, seabirds, and other predators to eat after industrial krill harvesting at current rates, and compared it with the estimated amount of krill available before industrial whaling began. “The basic math makes it clear that the current krill biomass (生物量) cannot support both an expanding krill fishery and the recovery of whale populations to pre-whaling size.” said Savoca. The study offers suggestions for how the CCAMLR, an international organization that manages Southern Ocean fisheries, can help prevent disaster. Regulation of the areas and times of year when commercial krill boats can operate to minimize competition with whales is a starting point. As for the krill themselves, improved monitoring to bring in more data on krill eggs and larvae (幼虫) hotspots could identify zones to ban or limit fishing. The researchers hope their study will inspire more serious accounting and deeper investigations into whales and the krill themselves, ultimately forming a path ahead that preserves the delicate ecological balance in the Southern Ocean. 12. What does the study in Nature Communications mainly suggest? A. Baleen whales have made an impressive comeback. B. Krill play a big role in the Southern Ocean ecosystem. C. It’s wise to expand krill harvesting to support economic growth. D. Current krill harvesting practices may destroy whale recovery efforts. 13. What do we know about the current krill biomass? A. It is likely to bounce back. B. It doesn’t hold much research value. C. It has increased greatly in the past 30 years. D. It is insufficient to support the local ecosystem. 14. What is mainly discussed in the fifth paragraph? A. The ways to boost krill-related economic growth. B. The practical measures taken by the CCAMLR. C. The proposals put forward by the researchers. D. The conflicts between whales and humans. 15. What would be a suitable title for the text? A. Great Economic Benefits from Krill Harvesting B. Krill Harvesting: A Threat to Whale Recovery C. The Connection Between Whales and Krill D. Restoration Efforts for Baleen Whales 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。 Imagine this: A big earthquake is about to hit. The ground is still and the sky is clear. Humans go about their day, unaware of what’s coming. But the animals? They know. Dogs start barking uncontrollably and birds fly away in a confused mess. Even fish act strangely, swimming quickly in wild patterns. Hours later — disaster hits. ____16____ Months before a 7.3 magnitude (震级) earthquake hit Haicheng, China, in 1975, villagers reported snakes waking up and coming out in the dead of winter and dogs acting in an unusual way. ____17____ This decision saved thousands of lives. Similarly, before the disastrous Indian Ocean Tsunami in 2004, elephants were observed running inland and birds deserting their low-lying nesting areas. Many wild animals seemed to escape to safety. ____18____ The answer lies in their ability to pick up signals we don’t notice. Many animals have heightened sensitivity to vibrations (震动) in the ground. Elephants, for example, can sense earthquake waves through their feet. Changes in air pressure and electrostatic fields (静电场) provide other warning signals. Birds and insects are highly sensitive to air pressure, which often changes before hurricanes and tsunamis. ____19____ Dogs, known for their powerful noses, might pick up these slight chemical changes before humans. Do humans still have this instinct (本能)? Before modern technology, humans depended on natural instincts to survive. Have you ever had a strong feeling that something bad was about to happen? Have you ever changed plans at the last minute, only to realize you avoided an accident? ____20____ But we ignore them and trust our reasoning. Animals don’t second-guess themselves — they just react. A. How do animals know? B. What signals do animals sense? C. Modern technology has made us forget these skills. D. Some scientists believe we still have potential survival instincts. E. Earthquakes sometimes send out gases from underground faults. F. The government took the warnings seriously and told people to leave. G. Real-world cases prove that animals can sense disasters before they hit. 第三部分 语言知识运用(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。 My parents and I never really saw eye to eye on anything.

He knew exactly what he wanted to do with his life— to play the guitar in his own band. Fausto decided to earn money to buy a guitar. He turned off the television, hopped onto his sister’s bike and rode north to the nicer section of Fresno in search of work. He went from door to door, but after three hours he managed to get only one job— being asked to hurry down to the store to buy a loaf of bread, for which he received a dirty quarter. While he was sitting in a park eating an orange, a dog approached him. It was a fancy dog, with a shiny collar and a tag with his name, Roger, and address. This dog looked like he belonged to rich people. An idea flashed across Fausto’s mind. He decided to take Roger home and collect a reward, saying he had found him near the freeway which is 15 miles away. The lie formed easily, but a small, cold knot of unease tightened unexpectedly in his stomach as Fausto walked the dog to its house. He knocked. A woman in a silky bathrobe opened the door. “Ma’ am,” Fausto said, gripping Roger by the collar. “I found your dog by the freeway. His tag says he lives here, doesn’t he?” “That’s right!” the woman replied in a surprised and joyful voice. She then invited Fausto to come into the house. Fausto looked around, amazed by the shiny furniture. “You’re probably hungry after your good deed,” the woman said, bringing Fausto a tall glass of milk and a warm apple pie. Fausto ate, aware of the woman’s caring eyes watching him. He felt embarrassed by lying to such a kind lady. “That was good,” he said after he finished. “Thank you, Ma’ am! Now I have to go home.” As Fausto walked to the door, the woman opened her purse and took out two bills. “For your honesty and help,” she said warmly, pressing two hundred dollars into his hand. “You’re a good boy.” Fausto couldn’t meet her gaze, his face burning with a sudden feeling of shame that went deeper than mere embarrassment. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右; (2)请按照如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 With the money gripped tightly in his hand, Fausto headed to the music shop ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Turning his back on the shining guitar, Fausto walked with determination towards the woman’s house. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
