Want to get up close and personal with nature? Read on for the 4 best nature documentaries streaming on platforms. Planet Earth (2006) Produced by the BBC, this classic documentary delivers a sense of awe and modesty only nature can inspire — perfect for anyone who’s ever wanted to feel truly small in the best way. Narrated (解说) by David Attenborough, it is one of the greatest science documentary series of all time! Where to watch: Discovery+, Amazon Prime, BBC Born in China (2016) Co-produced by Disney nature and Shanghai Media Group, it is a documentary film journeying into China’s little-explored wilds. You’ll see giant pandas, snow leopards and golden monkeys raise their young, overcome hardships, and grow up healthy and strong in these landscapes. Where to watch: Amazon Video, Apple TV My Octopus Teacher (2020) Produced by Off The Fence, this beautiful, moving and Oscar-winning documentary is a love letter to the natural world, and a reminder of how much we have yet to understand. It unexpectedly tells a touching story about the friendship between humans and a highly intelligent wild octopus (章鱼). Where to watch: Netflix Secrets of the Whales (2021) Produced by National Geographic, it features Sigourney Weaver’s narration that highlights this epic underwater storytelling. You’ll see whales use tools, teach traditions and communicate in family groups. It’ll expand your understanding of whales’ high intelligence. Where to watch: Disney+ 1. Which platform can you watch Planet Earth on? A. Netflix. B. BBC. C. Disney+. D. Apple TV. 2. What is special about Born in China? A. It tells underwater stories. B.

B One of my most treasured memories of childhood was watching those magical fireflies (萤火虫) light up a field at night. I remember how comforting it was to have the night lightened by countless fireflies announcing their place in the world. In my adult years, however, I’ve noticed far fewer of these insects. A lot of my friends and families have made the same observation. This is why I was so happy to see a good number of fireflies in our small lawn (草坪) the other night. My 9-year-old daughter, a girl to not one — but two biologists — is following in her parents’ footsteps already. She is crazy about all wild things. Needless to say, she was pleased with the chance to put off bedtime and to explore a new natural wonder with Mama when I called: “Honey! Come out and see all the fireflies!” Without wearing shoes, she rushed into the summer night to look at one of the most magical shows of nature — a field of fireflies! It was a moment I would never forget. So, what’s changed? Why are so many of us seeing fewer fireflies? It mainly has to do with habitat loss caused by increased development and our American obsession (痴迷) with large lawns and “tidy” views. In our case, we are seeing more fireflies because we’ve recently let parts of our lawn “go”. A neighbor asked us the other day, “Do you guys mow (割草)?!” In some places we do; in others we only mow once a year. We now have a lovely little lawn under our apple trees that is delivering big rewards. We enjoy the free-growing wildflowers by day and the tall plants support more fireflies for us to enjoy at night. 4. What can we learn about the author when she was a child? A. She had no lights at home at night. B. She was greatly impressed by fireflies. C. She noticed fireflies disappearing gradually. D. She showed great interest in studying insects. 5. Why is the author’s daughter crazy about wild things? A. She is studying biology. B. She likes playing outdoors at night. C. She lives in the city most of the time. D. She has been influenced by her parents. 6. Why is the author seeing more fireflies in her lawn? A. Her wild lawn attracted them. B. Her lawn was in good condition. C. She built houses for fireflies in her lawn. D. She grew many apple trees in her garden. 7. What can be the best title for the text? A. Create a happy childhood for your kids. B. Teach children to care for the environment. C. Bring the magic of fireflies back home again. D. Improve the environment through our efforts. C Farming brings a special joy. You feel connected to the earth, and it’s rewarding to plant seeds that grow into life-giving things. Agriculture combines age-old traditions with caring for the land and feeding communities around the globe. Many people tend to see agriculture as a romantic activity that lets them get back to nature. However, in reality, efficient and healthy agricultural practices rely on a lot of innovative technology and data. Farmers need the data from the fields in order to keep their crops growing well. This is where VTT, a Finnish technical research center, comes in. The center has created a solar-powered battery cell (电池组) that can power agricultural sensors and then biodegrade (生物降解) into the soil. This device was made by an international team from six science groups. The cell is about the size of a credit card. It is light, so it can be attached to plants easily. Most importantly, the cell will break down in a few weeks or months. “When a solar cell is used in an agricultural application, biodegradability is essential. In this case, there is no real harm caused if the cell cannot be removed from the field, even if it is in close contact with the soil. And it does not add harmful substances to the environment, nor does it exacerbate microplastic problems. ”Maria Smolander, a team research leader at VTT, said in a statement. These solar cells are very helpful for farmers in the European Union (EU). EU rules require these farmers to check soil health regularly. The cells also help farmers around the world: They help collect correct data, support environmental sustainability (可持续性) through biodegradability, and help increase agricultural production effectively. Technology is changing faster than ever, and it can bring great positive changes too. VTT’s solar cells use innovative technology that has the potential to improve how farmers work, and contribute to a world that is more sustainable, healthier, and better fed. 8. How can efficient and healthy agriculture be achieved? A. By relying on traditional farming skills. B. By using innovative technology and data. C. By building a romantic connection to nature. D. By getting support from global communities. 9. Which is the key feature of the new battery cell? A. It is as small as a credit card. B. It can be attached to the plants. C. It can break down in the soil quickly. D. It is developed by an international team. 10. What does the underlined word “exacerbate” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Worsen. B. Solve. C. Reduce. D. Limit. 11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To explain how solar cells work in agriculture. B. To show solar cells’ role in sustainable agriculture. C. To introduce EU farming rules about sustainability. D. To compare traditional and modern farming methods. D The world’s animal populations have decreased by more than two-thirds since 1970, according to a recent research from the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). The London group provided information on 32,000 wildlife populations which included more than 5,000 species. The researchers found that population sizes had declined by 69 percent on average. They said the loss of forests, human exploitation (开发) of the environment, pollution, and climate change were great causes of the loss. Land-use change is still the biggest threat to wildlife. However, the researchers added, ”if we cannot limit warming to 1.5“C, climate change is likely to become the dominant cause of biodiversity loss in the coming years.” Wildlife populations in Latin American and the Caribbean Sea area were greatly affected. The research showed a 94 percent drop in those areas in over 50 years. Wildlife populations in river and lake habitats decreased the most. Freshwater populations have declined by an average of 83 percent since 1970. For example, one population of pink river dolphins in the Amazon River area of Brazil fell by 65 percent between 1994 and 2016. These findings are a red flag that warns of a larger system failure on the horizon. Even one species’ population decline can affect other species, eventually impacting the ecosystem’s ability to function. Humans depend on a stable climate, predictable weather patterns, and productive farmland and fisheries to thrive (蓬勃发展), but the current trends are severe enough to threaten many life-sustaining systems. Our future depends on reversing(扭转) the loss of nature just as much as it depends on dealing with climate change. And you can’t solve one without solving the other. Everyone has a role in reversing these trends, from individuals to companies to governments. If nothing changes, animal populations will undoubtedly continue to fall, driving wildlife to extinction and threatening the integrity (完整) of the ecosystems on which we all depend. 12. What is the greatest threat to wildlife populations currently? A. Illegal hunting. B. Global warming. C. Land-use change. D. Environmental pollution. 13. How does the author explain the decline of freshwater wildlife in paragraph 3? A. By listing figures. B. By analyzing the causes. C. By making a comparison. D. By referring to a concept. 14. What can we learn from paragraph 4? A. Climate change threatens many wild animals. B. Farmland is the basis of life-sustaining systems C. Species diversity is important to maintain a stable ecosystem. D. Extreme weather events have become more and more frequent. 15. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To explain the difficulty of restoring ecosystems B. To call on people to take action to protect nature. C. To present the increasing trend of climate change. D. To show people’s efforts in reversing the loss of nature. 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 How to Be Creative Most of us think that creativity is a quality (品质) belonging only to artists, writers, or dancers, rather than ourselves. ___16___ The following tips are a great beginning for developing our creativity. Get out of your comfort zone We eagerly accept the familiar and fear the unknown. Break out of your usual patterns and welcome creativity into your life.

If you usually drive to work, take the subway for a few days. ___18___ Break your routine, experiment and try something new. New things are often creative, but the same old thing never is. ___19___ Having a great idea is not enough, you must work to make it a reality. Have you ever seen a new product and realized that you thought of the same thing long ago? Yet someone else is making money with “your” idea. ___20___ The difference between a dreamer and a doer is action. Do whatever it takes to bring your ideas to life.

She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily. She couldn’t help crying sadly when she thought of the scolding (责骂) from her mother. Having wandered aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt hungry and wished for something to eat, but it was impossible for her, since she had nothing with her. She stood beside a stand for a while, watching the seller busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand, she sighed and had to leave. The seller noticed the young girl and asked, “Hey, do you want to have the noodles?” “Oh, yes ... but I don’t have money on me ...”, she replied. “That’s nothing. I’ll treat you today,” said the man, “come in.” The seller brought her a bowl of tasty noodles. As she was eating, Jenny cried silently. “What is it?” asked the man kindly. “I was just touched by your kindness!”, said Jenny as she wiped her tears, “Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother drove me out of the house. She is so merciless compared to a stranger!” Hearing the words, the seller smiled, “I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you number the times she cooked for you? Have you expressed your gratitude to her?” Jenny sat there, speechless. She remembered mother’s familiar face. “Why didn’t I think of that? I appreciated a bowl of noodles from a stranger, but I have never thanked my mum for what she has done for me.” On the way home, Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Approaching the doorway, Jenny took a deep breath. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back to life. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 阆中中学校2026春高2024级期中学习质量检测 英语试题 （时间：120分钟 满分：150分 命题教师：陈菊 审题教师：贾淇淇） 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 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。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，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.

A lot of my friends and families have made the same observation. This is why I was so happy to see a good number of fireflies in our small lawn (草坪) the other night. My 9-year-old daughter, a girl to not one — but two biologists — is following in her parents’ footsteps already. She is crazy about all wild things. Needless to say, she was pleased with the chance to put off bedtime and to explore a new natural wonder with Mama when I called: “Honey! Come out and see all the fireflies!” Without wearing shoes, she rushed into the summer night to look at one of the most magical shows of nature — a field of fireflies! It was a moment I would never forget. So, what’s changed? Why are so many of us seeing fewer fireflies? It mainly has to do with habitat loss caused by increased development and our American obsession (痴迷) with large lawns and “tidy” views. In our case, we are seeing more fireflies because we’ve recently let parts of our lawn “go”. A neighbor asked us the other day, “Do you guys mow (割草)?!” In some places we do; in others we only mow once a year. We now have a lovely little lawn under our apple trees that is delivering big rewards. We enjoy the free-growing wildflowers by day and the tall plants support more fireflies for us to enjoy at night. 4. What can we learn about the author when she was a child? A. She had no lights at home at night. B. She was greatly impressed by fireflies. C. She noticed fireflies disappearing gradually. D. She showed great interest in studying insects. 5. Why is the author’s daughter crazy about wild things? A. She is studying biology. B. She likes playing outdoors at night. C. She lives in the city most of the time. D. She has been influenced by her parents. 6. Why is the author seeing more fireflies in her lawn? A. Her wild lawn attracted them. B. Her lawn was in good condition. C. She built houses for fireflies in her lawn. D. She grew many apple trees in her garden. 7. What can be the best title for the text? A. Create a happy childhood for your kids. B. Teach children to care for the environment. C. Bring the magic of fireflies back home again. D. Improve the environment through our efforts. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是记叙文。讲述了萤火虫给小时候的作者留下了深刻的印象，后来作者的女儿也痴迷于这些萤火虫。于是作者在自家草坪里留出了一块地，来让这些草坪自由生长，让这些野生草坪吸引萤火虫。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“One of my most treasured memories of childhood was watching those magical fireflies (萤火虫) light up a field at night. I remember how comforting it was to have the night lightened by countless fireflies announcing their place in the world.(我最珍贵的童年记忆之一就是看着那些神奇的萤火虫在夜晚照亮田野。我记得，无数的萤火虫在夜空中宣告着它们在世界上的位置，那是多么令人欣慰)”可知，我们能了解到作者小时候，萤火虫给她留下了深刻的印象。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“My 9-year-old daughter, a girl to not one — but two biologists — is following in her parents’ footsteps already. She is crazy about all wild things.(我9岁的女儿，不是一个，而是两个生物学家的女儿，已经在追随她父母的脚步了。她对一切野生事物都很着迷)”可知，作者的女儿受到父母的影响，所以对野生动物如此着迷。故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In our case, we are seeing more fireflies because we’ve recently let parts of our lawn “go”. (在我们的情况下，我们看到更多的萤火虫是因为我们最近让草坪的某些部分“放任自流”)”可知，作者不再修剪草坪，而是让它变成野生的草地一样，从而吸引更多的萤火虫。故选A项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“One of my most treasured memories of childhood was watching those magical fireflies (萤火虫) light up a field at night. I remember how comforting it was to have the night lightened by countless fireflies announcing their place in the world.(我最珍贵的童年记忆之一就是看着那些神奇的萤火虫在夜晚照亮田野。我记得，无数的萤火虫在夜空中宣告着它们在世界上的位置，那是多么令人欣慰)”以及第二段“In my adult years, however, I’ve noticed far fewer of these insects. A lot of my friends and families have made the same observation. This is why I was so happy to see a good number of fireflies in our small lawn (草坪) the other night.(然而，在我成年后，我注意到的这种昆虫要少得多。我的很多朋友和家人都有同样的看法。这就是为什么那天晚上我很高兴看到我家的小草坪上有很多萤火虫)”纵观全文可知，本文讲述了萤火虫给小时候的作者留下了深刻的印象，但是长大后，发现变少了，于是作者在自家草坪里留出了一块地，来让这些草坪自由生长，让这些野生草坪吸引萤火虫。所以C项“Bring the magic of fireflies back home again.(把萤火虫的魔力带回家)”是本文最好的标题。故选C项。 C Farming brings a special joy. You feel connected to the earth, and it’s rewarding to plant seeds that grow into life-giving things. Agriculture combines age-old traditions with caring for the land and feeding communities around the globe. Many people tend to see agriculture as a romantic activity that lets them get back to nature. However, in reality, efficient and healthy agricultural practices rely on a lot of innovative technology and data. Farmers need the data from the fields in order to keep their crops growing well. This is where VTT, a Finnish technical research center, comes in. The center has created a solar-powered battery cell (电池组) that can power agricultural sensors and then biodegrade (生物降解) into the soil. This device was made by an international team from six science groups. The cell is about the size of a credit card. It is light, so it can be attached to plants easily. Most importantly, the cell will break down in a few weeks or months. “When a solar cell is used in an agricultural application, biodegradability is essential. In this case, there is no real harm caused if the cell cannot be removed from the field, even if it is in close contact with the soil. And it does not add harmful substances to the environment, nor does it exacerbate microplastic problems. ”Maria Smolander, a team research leader at VTT, said in a statement. These solar cells are very helpful for farmers in the European Union (EU). EU rules require these farmers to check soil health regularly. The cells also help farmers around the world: They help collect correct data, support environmental sustainability (可持续性) through biodegradability, and help increase agricultural production effectively. Technology is changing faster than ever, and it can bring great positive changes too. VTT’s solar cells use innovative technology that has the potential to improve how farmers work, and contribute to a world that is more sustainable, healthier, and better fed. 8. How can efficient and healthy agriculture be achieved? A. By relying on traditional farming skills. B. By using innovative technology and data. C. By building a romantic connection to nature. D. By getting support from global communities. 9. Which is the key feature of the new battery cell? A. It is as small as a credit card. B. It can be attached to the plants. C. It can break down in the soil quickly. D. It is developed by an international team. 10. What does the underlined word “exacerbate” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Worsen. B. Solve. C. Reduce. D. Limit. 11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To explain how solar cells work in agriculture. B. To show solar cells’ role in sustainable agriculture. C. To introduce EU farming rules about sustainability. D. To compare traditional and modern farming methods. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11.

The London group provided information on 32,000 wildlife populations which included more than 5,000 species. The researchers found that population sizes had declined by 69 percent on average. They said the loss of forests, human exploitation (开发) of the environment, pollution, and climate change were great causes of the loss. Land-use change is still the biggest threat to wildlife. However, the researchers added, ”if we cannot limit warming to 1.5“C, climate change is likely to become the dominant cause of biodiversity loss in the coming years.” Wildlife populations in Latin American and the Caribbean Sea area were greatly affected. The research showed a 94 percent drop in those areas in over 50 years. Wildlife populations in river and lake habitats decreased the most. Freshwater populations have declined by an average of 83 percent since 1970. For example, one population of pink river dolphins in the Amazon River area of Brazil fell by 65 percent between 1994 and 2016. These findings are a red flag that warns of a larger system failure on the horizon. Even one species’ population decline can affect other species, eventually impacting the ecosystem’s ability to function. Humans depend on a stable climate, predictable weather patterns, and productive farmland and fisheries to thrive (蓬勃发展), but the current trends are severe enough to threaten many life-sustaining systems. Our future depends on reversing(扭转) the loss of nature just as much as it depends on dealing with climate change. And you can’t solve one without solving the other. Everyone has a role in reversing these trends, from individuals to companies to governments. If nothing changes, animal populations will undoubtedly continue to fall, driving wildlife to extinction and threatening the integrity (完整) of the ecosystems on which we all depend. 12. What is the greatest threat to wildlife populations currently? A. Illegal hunting. B. Global warming. C. Land-use change. D. Environmental pollution. 13. How does the author explain the decline of freshwater wildlife in paragraph 3? A. By listing figures. B. By analyzing the causes. C. By making a comparison. D. By referring to a concept. 14. What can we learn from paragraph 4? A. Climate change threatens many wild animals. B. Farmland is the basis of life-sustaining systems C. Species diversity is important to maintain a stable ecosystem. D. Extreme weather events have become more and more frequent. 15. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To explain the difficulty of restoring ecosystems B. To call on people to take action to protect nature. C. To present the increasing trend of climate change. D. To show people’s efforts in reversing the loss of nature. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。作者根据世界自然基金会最近的一项研究了解世界上的动物数量已经减少了三分之二以上，并且号召所有人采取措施保护环境。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Land-use change is still the biggest threat to wildlife.(土地利用的变化仍然是野生动物面临的最大威胁。)”可知，土地利用的变化威胁到了野生动物的生存环境，而且是最大的威胁。故选C项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“The research showed a 94 percent drop in those areas in over 50 years. Wildlife populations in river and lake habitats decreased the most. Freshwater populations have declined by an average of 83 percent since 1970. For example, one population of pink river dolphins in the Amazon River area of Brazil fell by 65 percent between 1994 and 2016.(研究显示，50多年来，这些地区的种群数量下降了94%。河流和湖泊栖息地的野生动物数量减少最多。自1970年以来，淡水种群平均减少了83%。例如，从1994年到2016年，巴西亚马孙河地区的粉红河海豚数量下降了65%。)”可知，作者在第3段中通过举例子列出数据解释了淡水野生动物的减少情况。故选A项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“These findings are a red flag that warns of a larger system failure on the horizon. Even one species’ population decline can affect other species, eventually impacting the ecosystem’s ability to function.(这些发现是一个危险信号，警告即将出现更大的生态系统崩溃后果。即使是一个物种的数量下降也会影响到其他物种，最终影响到生态系统的功能。)”可知，在生态系统中是相互关联的关系，一个物种的数量减少也会影响到其他物种甚至整个生态链，说明物种多样性对于维持一个稳定的生态系统很重要。故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Our future depends on reversing(扭转) the loss of nature just as much as it depends on dealing with climate change. And you can’t solve one without solving the other. Everyone has a role in reversing these trends, from individuals to companies to governments. (我们的未来取决于扭转自然的损失，就像它取决于应对气候变化一样。你不可能在不解决另一个的情况下解决一个。从个人到公司再到政府，每个人都有责任扭转这些趋势。)”可知，本文作者写这篇文章目的是呼吁人们采取行动保护自然。故选B项。 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 How to Be Creative Most of us think that creativity is a quality (品质) belonging only to artists, writers, or dancers, rather than ourselves. ___16___ The following tips are a great beginning for developing our creativity. Get out of your comfort zone We eagerly accept the familiar and fear the unknown. Break out of your usual patterns and welcome creativity into your life. As said earlier, the human brain was designed to recognize patterns. ___17___ In fact, our comfort zone is nothing more than a collection of patterns. As we become more efficient at recognizing and using patterns, we rely less on creativity to find new paths. We should force ourselves out of our comfort zones and open up new possibilities. Try different things If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got. We are creatures of habits and routines, and creativity hates routines (常规). If you usually drive to work, take the subway for a few days. ___18___ Break your routine, experiment and try something new. New things are often creative, but the same old thing never is. ___19___ Having a great idea is not enough, you must work to make it a reality. Have you ever seen a new product and realized that you thought of the same thing long ago? Yet someone else is making money with “your” idea. ___20___ The difference between a dreamer and a doer is action. Do whatever it takes to bring your ideas to life. If you can put them into practice, you are well on your way to improving your creativity in all areas of your life. A. Take action B. Seek several options C. Think from the other person’s point of view. D. If you normally eat in the office, have lunch under a tree. E. We continue to create patterns for almost everything we do. F. The truth is that we are all born with the ability to be creative. G. We all have great ideas sometimes, but only a few people turn their ideas into realities. 【答案】16. F 17. E 18. D 19. A 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是如何变得有创造力。 【16题详解】 依据上一句“Most of us think that creativity is a quality (品质) belonging only to artists, writers, or dancers, rather than ourselves.(我们大多数人认为创造力只是艺术家、作家或舞蹈家的一种品质，而不是我们自己的。)”可知，很多人认为创造力只属于艺术家、作家或舞蹈家，后面建议我们如何培养创造力，由此可推断出本句是讲每个人都有创造力，F选项“The truth is that we are all bom with the ability to be creative.(事实上，我们生来就有创造的能力。)”说明我们每个人都是有创造力的，承上启下，符合语境。故选F。 【17题详解】 空前“As said earlier, the human brain was designed to recognize patterns.(如前所述，人类的大脑是用来识别模式的)”说明大脑是用来识别模式的，因此空格处应该说我们可以创造模式，E选项“We continue to create patterns for almost everything we do.(我们继续为我们所做的几乎所有事情创造模式。)”说明了我们可以创造模式，其中的patterns和前面的patterns相一致，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选E。 【18题详解】 由本段小标题“Try different things(尝试不同的东西)”可知，本段主要讲述的是尝试做一些改变，D项“If you normally eat in the office, have lunch under a tree.(如果你通常在办公室吃午饭，那就在树下吃吧)”是一种改变，符合本段主旨，且与上文“If you usually drive to work, take the subway for a few days. (如果你通常开车去上班，那就坐几天地铁)”在句式上保持一致，构成并列。故选D。 【19题详解】 空处是本段的小标题，由空格下方的“Having a great idea is not enough, you must work to make it a reality. (有一个伟大的想法是不够的，你必须努力使它成为现实。)”和“If you can put them into practice, you are well on your way to improving your creativity in all areas of your life.(如果你能把它们付诸实践，你就能很好地在生活的各个方面提高你的创造力。)”可知，本段主要讲的是要行动起来，把一些好的想法变成现实，A选项“Take action(采取行动)”说明要采取行动，因此概括本段内容，可作为小标题，故选A。 【20题详解】 根据下文中的“The difference between a dreamer and a doer is action.(梦想家和实干家的区别在于行动)”可知，梦想家只是想一想，而实干家不但想还去做，G选项“We all have great ideas sometimes, but only a few people turn their ideas into realities.(我们都有伟大的想法，但只有少数人把他们的想法变成现实。)”说明了有的人只是想一想而已，只有少数人会去真正把自己想的事情做出来，引起下文，符合语境，故选G。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 One afternoon, as I was diving into life’s deeper questions with my students, a thoughtful boy named Jack raised his hand. “Why do so many people feel lost?” he asked. ____21____ their curiosity, I decided to show them the ropes through experience rather than simply ____22____. “Follow me,” I said, leading them toward the nearby ____23____.

She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily. She couldn’t help crying sadly when she thought of the scolding (责骂) from her mother. Having wandered aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt hungry and wished for something to eat, but it was impossible for her, since she had nothing with her. She stood beside a stand for a while, watching the seller busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand, she sighed and had to leave. The seller noticed the young girl and asked, “Hey, do you want to have the noodles?” “Oh, yes ... but I don’t have money on me ...”, she replied. “That’s nothing. I’ll treat you today,” said the man, “come in.” The seller brought her a bowl of tasty noodles. As she was eating, Jenny cried silently. “What is it?” asked the man kindly. “I was just touched by your kindness!”, said Jenny as she wiped her tears, “Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother drove me out of the house. She is so merciless compared to a stranger!” Hearing the words, the seller smiled, “I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you number the times she cooked for you? Have you expressed your gratitude to her?” Jenny sat there, speechless. She remembered mother’s familiar face. “Why didn’t I think of that? I appreciated a bowl of noodles from a stranger, but I have never thanked my mum for what she has done for me.” On the way home, Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Approaching the doorway, Jenny took a deep breath. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back to life. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Approaching the doorway, Jenny took a deep breath. She was nervous because she didn’t know how her mother would react. As she slowly opened the door, she saw her mother sitting in the living room, with red eyes as if she had been crying. Jenny couldn’t hold back her tears and said, “Mom, I’m so sorry for running away and speaking rudely to you.” It was at that moment that she realized how much her mother loved her, even though she never said it out loud. She remembered all the meals her mother had cooked and the nights when she stayed up late helping with homework. A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back to life. Her mother pulled her into a hug and whispered, “I was so worried about you.” That simple action made Jenny feel warmth spreading through her body. She lifted her head and looked into her mother’s eyes, which were full of love. No matter what happened, she knew her mother would always be there for her. This experience taught her that true love doesn’t need many words, but shows itself in small actions every day. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了Jenny和妈妈吵架后离家出走，饥肠辘辘时得到一位卖面摊主的帮助，在与摊主交谈后，Jenny意识到自己从未感谢过妈妈为她所做的一切，于是回家道歉并重新感受亲情的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“走到门口，珍妮深吸了一口气。”可知，第一段可描写Jenny回到家门前的心理活动以及她鼓起勇气准备向母亲道歉的过程，包括她回忆刚才的想法和下定决心。 ②由第二段首句内容“一只温柔的手抚摸着她的头发，使她回过神来。”可知，第二段可描写母亲温柔的动作让Jenny感受到爱，母女和解，Jenny意识到母爱的伟大。 2. 续写线索：到家门口——深呼吸——回忆反思——决定道歉——母亲抚摸头发——感动流泪——理解母爱——重归于好 3.词汇激活 ① 忍住眼泪：hold back one’s tears/keep back one’s tears ② 将某人拉入怀抱：pull sb. into a hug/wrap sb. in a hug ③ 抬头：lift one’s head / raise one’s face 情绪类 ① 紧张的：nervous/stressed ②担心的：worried/concerned 【点睛】【高分句型1】She was nervous because she didn’t know how her mother would react.(运用了because引导的原因状语从句，how引导的宾语从句) 【高分句型2】As she slowly opened the door, she saw her mother sitting in the living room, with red eyes as if she had been crying.(运用了as引导的时间状语从句和as if引导的方式状语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
