Here’s a selection of bookstores we love writing about. Books on Main Books on Main feels like you’re reading inside a tree-house in a Wisconsin forest. It opened in June 2023. Local residents have a welcoming place decorated with wood, leaves and comfortable furniture to gather and discover new and beloved books. Off the Beaten Path Bookstore First opened more than 30 years ago, Off the Beaten Path has been through three sets of owners and three locations. Current owners Mike and Danielle Skov say one thing has never changed: The promise to be a welcoming and inclusive (包容的) space. They partner with local schools, libraries and nonprofits to reach as much of the community as possible. Changing Hands Bookstore Too popular to be called a hidden gem (宝石), this Arizona jewel recently celebrated its 50th anniversary. It first opened in a 500-square-foot space in 1974. It hosts author events, poetry discussion groups and offers a Trade Counter where customers can bring in gently used books for store credit. The Last Chapter Book Shop The Last Chapter is an all-romance bookstore in Chicago that opened in 2023. The store hosts author events along with community mixers like Blind Date with a Book, where you wrap one of your favorite books and “trade” it with a fellow book fan in hopes of finding a new favorite and a new friend. 1. Why Off the Beaten Path Bookstore is different from other bookstores? A. It collects gently used books B. It creates a welcoming atmosphere. C. It works with local schools. D. It remains in the same place. 2. Which bookstore has the longest history? A. The Last Chapter Book Shop. B. Books on Main. C. Off the Beaten Path Bookstore. D. Changing Hands Bookstore. 3. What can people do at Blind Date with a Book? A. Buy their favorite books. B. Exchange books with book-lovers. C. Receive wrapped gifts. D. Communicate with authors. B Christmas time with kids is filled with warm traditions: Listening to Christmas music while decorating the tree, going to look at Christmas lights with hot chocolate in hand, and taking the kids to visit Santa Claus. Well, delete that last one. At least for my family. Parents think about how fun it will be at first to take their kids to see Santa, or tell them gifts are on their way from Santa, but this comes with a series of annoying questions about Mr. Claus like how he makes it to all the houses in one night, as well as the broken trust after revealing the truth. I didn’t want that. You may think that our Christmases were rigid, stuffy, and without any warmth or magic. I don’t think so. Part of that is due to what I taught my kids about Christmas. Instead of telling them Santa is real, I told them it most likely has its origins in St. Nicholas, a man who was kind and generous to children in need. Netflix’s 2021 movie “A Boy Called Christmas” is a useful tool for helping kids connect Christmas myths and traditions with reality while keeping the spirit of generosity alive. The month of December is filled with movie and game nights, plays and concerts. These family traditions have added flavor to my kids’ entire childhood. Hopefully, they know now that it’s the time with family, doing special things together, that creates the magic and that my love for them goes well beyond just one day — and that magic, wonder and awe can happen any time with family, especially if we remain generous and grateful. My kids are older now, and they’re glad they didn’t believe the myth of Santa. It was one fewer bad memory for them, one fewer blow to their innocent childhood. 4. What is special for the author’s family’s Christmas time? A. Appreciating Christmas lights. B. skipping visiting Santa Claus. C. Unlocking secrets of Santa Claus. D. Helping Santa Claus deliver gifts. 5. What does the author want to convey to her kids in paragraph3? A. Generosity comes from reality. B. Warmth counts to Christmas. C. St. Nicholas is an unsung hero. D. Santa myth will break kids’ trust. 6. What does the author intend to show by mentioning “the magic of Christmas”? A. To prove that the Santa myth is not necessary for Christmas. B. To explain why family entertainments are popular in December. C. To show that Christmas is the most magical festival for families. D. To stress that shared family time is the core of Christmas’ charm. 7. Which of the following can best describe the author? A. Rigid but caring. B. Generous and devoted. C. Distant but unconventional. D. Thoughtful and insightful. C It’s Monday morning again. Like many others, you spend your weekend resting, say, scrolling on your phone, but somehow when the workweek arrives, you never feel as refreshed as you hoped. You wonder: Is there a better way to recharge? Now research suggests the answer is “yes” and it lies in leisure crafting. Leisure crafting is not about what you do in your free time, but how you do it. It involves structuring things you already enjoy doing with intentionality so that they help you set individual goals, promote social connections, and build skills. The idea is not to completely shift your approach to free time — or even pick up new pursuits-as much as it is to integrate a few specific goals. Like to run? Try training for a race. Enjoy reading? Aim to read a certain number of books every month. Setting goals in off-hours looks like another example of letting work-brain logic inch its way into personal lives. But done right, it can help you feel a sense of purpose, confidence, and accomplishment, says Alex Hamrick, a management professor at the University of Richmond. Researchers did 11 field studies with more than 2,400 working professionals and found that individuals reported higher energy levels, more positive moods, and stronger overall well-being after engaging in leisure crafting. While leisure crafting requires commitment and goal-setting, it is still simply that: leisure. The goal is not to turn hobbies into a second job. Research has shown that people’s productivity tends to stop increasing at 60 hours a week. Expanding the hours spent maximizing output, even in pursuit of perfecting your cooking techniques or reading detective novels, could make you more tired. Hamrick agrees that if purposeful pursuits start to feel like work, it might be time to stop. Leisure crafting should enhance-not replace-other forms of relaxation. A recent government guide to getting off your phone included the suggestion of setting a recreational goal as a diversion from the screen. Beyond all the grander reasons to leisure craft, that simple one may be among the most relevant. 8. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph? A. Lack of effective ways to rest. B. Working through the weekend. C. Addiction to playing on phones. D. Feeling worried about the future. 9. Which of the following is the main feature of leisure crafting? A. Shifting your life focus. B. Extending your free time. C. Acting with a purpose. D. Taking up new hobbies. 10. What is paragraph 3 mainly about concerning leisure crafting? A. Its approaches. B. Its purposes. C. Its benefits. D. Its examples. 11. Why does the author mention the research in paragraph 4? A. To argue against setting unrealistic goals. B. To warn against overdoing leisure crafting. C. To explain why commitment is vital for success. D. To prove how leisure crafting improves efficiency. D Poet and Harvard Professor Henry Wadsworth Longfellow famously said, “Music is the universal language of mankind.” A new Harvard study suggests he may have been right. The study conducted by a research team found that people around the world could identify lullabies (摇篮曲), dance songs, and comforting songs — regardless of the songs’ cultural origin — after hearing just a 14-second clip (片段). The finding suggests that not only is music deeply rooted in human nature, but that some types of songs break cultural boundaries. The findings are based on a wide-reaching experiment in which 750 online participants in 60 countries listened to brief clips of songs collected from nearly 90 small societies around the world, including hunter-gatherers and some special farmers. Participants then answered six questions, rating each clip according to whether they believed the song was used for dancing, calming a baby, treating illness, or expressing love. Two additional uses — mourning (哀悼) the dead and telling a story — were included as controls. The data showed that despite participants’ unfamiliarity with the cultures, the random sampling of each song, and the short duration of the samples, people were able to reliably infer the songs’ functions, and that their ratings were consistent across the world. The findings ran counter to expert expectations. The team had also asked professionals, including performers, composers, psychologists, and scientists about whether they believed people would be able to identify the song types. Their answer was no. And not only that, but they predicted that people’s responses will be inconsistent with one another. “That’s not what we found,” the researchers said. The researchers also wanted to know whether listeners were recognizing certain non-musical characteristics of the songs. To test that, the team conducted a second study. This time, they asked listeners about a number of contextual and musical features, ranging from the gender of the singers to the rhythm of the song. When data from the two studies were combined, the results showed that songs of the same function shared similar characteristics — lullabies, for example, tended to be slower and simpler than dance music — suggesting that something about musical characteristics crosses cultural boundaries. 12. What did the participants do in the first study? A. They distinguished functions of the songs. B. They identified the cultural origins of the songs. C. They recognized the non-musical characteristics of the songs. D. They sorted the songs according to the gender of the singers. 13. What does the underlined part “ran counter to” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Were equal to. B. Were similar to. C. Were superior to. D. Were opposite to. 14. Why did the researchers carry out the second study? A. To test the musical knowledge of a wider audience. B. To collect more diverse songs from various cultures. C. To confirm the surprising results from the first one. D. To explore the underlying reasons behind the findings. 15. What can we learn from the two studies? A. Listeners recognize music by its rhythm. B. Something about music might be universal. C. Dance music is usually slower and simpler. D. Cultural similarities lead to similar musical features. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The adults in your life play an important role in shaping the person you are.

The wind blew cool against her cheeks. She was five years old, and, at that moment, being mad at her eleven-year-old brother, David. “How could he have been so mean?” she asked herself, remembering how he had made a face and called her a “big baby” at the breakfast table. “He hates me,” she thought, “just because I took the last cake out from under his nose. He hates me!” The swing carried her up so high that she could see for miles. It was fun looking down at the farmyard below. Her red sweater flashed brightly in the morning sunlight. She stopped thinking about being mad at her brother and started to sing a swinging song. On a distant hill behind the swing, a huge bull (公牛) with long, sharp horns (角) and big, heavy hooves (牛蹄) watched the red sweater flashing in the sunlight. The bull had broken out of his grassland. He was in a bad mood and ready to rush at anything that moved. Then he lowered his massive head and began moving across the field toward the red sweater he saw swinging back and forth beneath the tall tree. Meanwhile, David was in the barnyard (仓院), feeding the chickens. He looked out and saw his little sister on the swing. “Sisters are a pain in the neck,” he thought. Then suddenly he saw the bull rushing across the field, heading straight for his sister. Without a second thought, David screamed as loudly as he could, “Look out behind you! Get out of there! Run!” 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。 His sister didn’t hear him. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then the bull rushed at the place where his sister had been. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 石家庄二中教育集团2025—2026学年度高一年级下学期 期中考试英语试卷 （时间：120分钟 分值150分） 第一部分 听力理解（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段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1.

My kids are older now, and they’re glad they didn’t believe the myth of Santa. It was one fewer bad memory for them, one fewer blow to their innocent childhood. 4. What is special for the author’s family’s Christmas time? A. Appreciating Christmas lights. B. skipping visiting Santa Claus. C. Unlocking secrets of Santa Claus. D. Helping Santa Claus deliver gifts. 5. What does the author want to convey to her kids in paragraph3? A. Generosity comes from reality. B. Warmth counts to Christmas. C. St. Nicholas is an unsung hero. D. Santa myth will break kids’ trust. 6. What does the author intend to show by mentioning “the magic of Christmas”? A. To prove that the Santa myth is not necessary for Christmas. B. To explain why family entertainments are popular in December. C. To show that Christmas is the most magical festival for families. D. To stress that shared family time is the core of Christmas’ charm. 7. Which of the following can best describe the author? A. Rigid but caring. B. Generous and devoted. C. Distant but unconventional. D. Thoughtful and insightful. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在圣诞节期间不让孩子相信圣诞老人神话，而是通过讲述圣尼古拉斯的故事和家庭共度时光来传递慷慨与感恩的节日精神。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Christmas time with kids is filled with warm traditions: Listening to Christmas music while decorating the tree, going to look at Christmas lights with hot chocolate in hand, and taking the kids to visit Santa Claus. Well, delete that last one. At least for my family. (与孩子们一起度过的圣诞节充满了温馨的传统：装饰圣诞树时听圣诞音乐，手捧热巧克力去看圣诞灯饰，带孩子们去拜访圣诞老人。嗯，删掉最后一项。至少对我的家人来说是这样)”可知，作者家庭的特别之处在于跳过了拜访圣诞老人这一项。故选B项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“You may think that our Christmases were rigid, stuffy, and without any warmth or magic. I don’t think so. Part of that is due to what I taught my kids about Christmas. Instead of telling them Santa is real, I told them it most likely has its origins in St. Nicholas, a man who was kind and generous to children in need. Netflix’s 2021 movie “A Boy Called Christmas” is a useful tool for helping kids connect Christmas myths and traditions with reality while keeping the spirit of generosity alive.(你或许以为我们的圣诞节刻板拘谨，缺乏温暖与魔力。但我并不这样认为——这很大程度上得益于我教导孩子们如何看待圣诞节的方式。我没有给他们说圣诞老人是真的，而是讲述了这个形象很可能源于圣尼古拉斯——一位对贫苦孩子充满善意与慷慨的真实人物。Netflix于2021年出品的电影《圣诞男孩》，是一部既能帮助孩子将圣诞传说与现实传统相联结，又能延续慷慨精神的佳作)”可推知，作者没和孩子们讨论圣诞老人是否真实，而是通过探讨圣诞老人的起源来传达圣诞老人的慷慨源于现实生活中的真实人物和精神，作者想向她的孩子们传达慷慨来自现实。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Hopefully, they know now that it’s the time with family, doing special things together, that creates the magic and that my love for them goes well beyond just one day — and that magic, wonder and awe can happen any time with family, especially if we remain generous and grateful. (希望他们现在明白，是家人共度的时光，一起做特别的事情，创造了魔力，而我对他们的爱远不止一天——魔力、奇迹和敬畏可以随时与家人一起发生，尤其是当我们保持慷慨和感恩之心时)”可知，作者提到“圣诞节的魔力”是为了强调家人共度的时光才是圣诞节魅力的核心。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，结合第一段中“Christmas time with kids is filled with warm traditions: Listening to Christmas music while decorating the tree, going to look at Christmas lights with hot chocolate in hand, and taking the kids to visit Santa Claus. Well, delete that last one. At least for my family. (与孩子们一起度过的圣诞节充满了温馨的传统：装饰圣诞树时听圣诞音乐，手捧热巧克力去看圣诞灯饰，带孩子们去拜访圣诞老人。嗯，删掉最后一项。至少对我的家人来说是这样)”以及第三段中“Instead of telling them Santa is real, I told them it most likely has its origins in St. Nicholas, a man who was kind and generous to children in need. (我没有给他们说圣诞老人是真的，而是告诉他们圣诞老人很可能起源于圣尼古拉斯，一个对贫困儿童友善和慷慨的人)”和第四段中“Hopefully, they know now that it’s the time with family, doing special things together, that creates the magic (希望他们现在明白，是家人共度的时光，一起做特别的事情，创造了魔力)”可知，作者深思熟虑地选择不让孩子相信圣诞老人神话，并通过讲述圣尼古拉斯的故事和创造家庭传统来传递节日的真正意义，这表明她是一位考虑周全且富有洞察力的母亲。故选D项。 C It’s Monday morning again. Like many others, you spend your weekend resting, say, scrolling on your phone, but somehow when the workweek arrives, you never feel as refreshed as you hoped. You wonder: Is there a better way to recharge? Now research suggests the answer is “yes” and it lies in leisure crafting. Leisure crafting is not about what you do in your free time, but how you do it. It involves structuring things you already enjoy doing with intentionality so that they help you set individual goals, promote social connections, and build skills. The idea is not to completely shift your approach to free time — or even pick up new pursuits-as much as it is to integrate a few specific goals. Like to run? Try training for a race. Enjoy reading? Aim to read a certain number of books every month. Setting goals in off-hours looks like another example of letting work-brain logic inch its way into personal lives. But done right, it can help you feel a sense of purpose, confidence, and accomplishment, says Alex Hamrick, a management professor at the University of Richmond. Researchers did 11 field studies with more than 2,400 working professionals and found that individuals reported higher energy levels, more positive moods, and stronger overall well-being after engaging in leisure crafting. While leisure crafting requires commitment and goal-setting, it is still simply that: leisure. The goal is not to turn hobbies into a second job. Research has shown that people’s productivity tends to stop increasing at 60 hours a week. Expanding the hours spent maximizing output, even in pursuit of perfecting your cooking techniques or reading detective novels, could make you more tired. Hamrick agrees that if purposeful pursuits start to feel like work, it might be time to stop. Leisure crafting should enhance-not replace-other forms of relaxation. A recent government guide to getting off your phone included the suggestion of setting a recreational goal as a diversion from the screen. Beyond all the grander reasons to leisure craft, that simple one may be among the most relevant. 8. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph? A. Lack of effective ways to rest. B. Working through the weekend. C. Addiction to playing on phones. D. Feeling worried about the future. 9. Which of the following is the main feature of leisure crafting? A. Shifting your life focus. B. Extending your free time. C. Acting with a purpose. D. Taking up new hobbies. 10. What is paragraph 3 mainly about concerning leisure crafting? A. Its approaches. B. Its purposes. C. Its benefits. D. Its examples. 11. Why does the author mention the research in paragraph 4? A. To argue against setting unrealistic goals. B. To warn against overdoing leisure crafting. C. To explain why commitment is vital for success. D. To prove how leisure crafting improves efficiency. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了休闲规划这一概念，包括其定义、特点、益处以及实施时的注意事项。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Like many others, you spend your weekend resting, say, scrolling on your phone, but somehow when the workweek arrives, you never feel as refreshed as you hoped. You wonder: Is there a better way to recharge? (和许多人一样，你周末休息，比如刷手机，但不知为何，当工作日到来时，你从未感到像自己希望的那样精神焕发。你想知道：有没有更好的恢复精力的方法？)”可知，第一段描述的现象是缺乏有效的休息方式。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Leisure crafting is not about what you do in your free time, but how you do it. It involves structuring things you already enjoy doing with intentionality so that they help you set individual goals, promote social connections, and build skills. (休闲规划不在于你在空闲时间做什么，而在于你如何做。它涉及以有意图的方式构建你已经喜欢做的事情，以便它们帮助你设定个人目标、促进社交联系和培养技能。)”可知，休闲规划的主要特点是有目的地行动。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Researchers did 11 field studies with more than 2,400 working professionals and found that individuals reported higher energy levels, more positive moods, and stronger overall well-being after engaging in leisure crafting. (研究人员对2400多名职场人士进行了11项实地研究，发现参与休闲规划后，个人的能量水平更高、情绪更积极、整体幸福感更强。)”可知，第三段主要讲的是休闲规划的益处。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“While leisure crafting requires commitment and goal-setting, it is still simply that: leisure. The goal is not to turn hobbies into a second job. Research has shown that people’s productivity tends to stop increasing at 60 hours a week. Expanding the hours spent maximizing output, even in pursuit of perfecting your cooking techniques or reading detective novels, could make you more tired. (虽然休闲规划需要投入和设定目标，但它仍然只是休闲。目标不是把爱好变成第二份工作。研究表明，人们的工作效率在一周60小时后往往会停止增长。即使是为了完善烹饪技巧或阅读侦探小说而延长工作时间，也可能会让你更累。)”可知，作者提到第四段的研究是为了警告不要过度进行休闲规划。 D Poet and Harvard Professor Henry Wadsworth Longfellow famously said, “Music is the universal language of mankind.” A new Harvard study suggests he may have been right. The study conducted by a research team found that people around the world could identify lullabies (摇篮曲), dance songs, and comforting songs — regardless of the songs’ cultural origin — after hearing just a 14-second clip (片段). The finding suggests that not only is music deeply rooted in human nature, but that some types of songs break cultural boundaries. The findings are based on a wide-reaching experiment in which 750 online participants in 60 countries listened to brief clips of songs collected from nearly 90 small societies around the world, including hunter-gatherers and some special farmers. Participants then answered six questions, rating each clip according to whether they believed the song was used for dancing, calming a baby, treating illness, or expressing love. Two additional uses — mourning (哀悼) the dead and telling a story — were included as controls. The data showed that despite participants’ unfamiliarity with the cultures, the random sampling of each song, and the short duration of the samples, people were able to reliably infer the songs’ functions, and that their ratings were consistent across the world. The findings ran counter to expert expectations. The team had also asked professionals, including performers, composers, psychologists, and scientists about whether they believed people would be able to identify the song types. Their answer was no. And not only that, but they predicted that people’s responses will be inconsistent with one another. “That’s not what we found,” the researchers said. The researchers also wanted to know whether listeners were recognizing certain non-musical characteristics of the songs. To test that, the team conducted a second study. This time, they asked listeners about a number of contextual and musical features, ranging from the gender of the singers to the rhythm of the song. When data from the two studies were combined, the results showed that songs of the same function shared similar characteristics — lullabies, for example, tended to be slower and simpler than dance music — suggesting that something about musical characteristics crosses cultural boundaries. 12. What did the participants do in the first study? A. They distinguished functions of the songs. B. They identified the cultural origins of the songs. C. They recognized the non-musical characteristics of the songs. D. They sorted the songs according to the gender of the singers. 13. What does the underlined part “ran counter to” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Were equal to. B. Were similar to. C. Were superior to. D. Were opposite to. 14. Why did the researchers carry out the second study? A. To test the musical knowledge of a wider audience. B. To collect more diverse songs from various cultures. C. To confirm the surprising results from the first one. D. To explore the underlying reasons behind the findings. 15. What can we learn from the two studies? A. Listeners recognize music by its rhythm. B. Something about music might be universal. C. Dance music is usually slower and simpler. D. Cultural similarities lead to similar musical features. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了哈佛大学的一项新研究表明，尽管文化背景不同，但人们能识别出不同功能歌曲的共性，音乐可能有共性。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Participants then answered six questions, rating each clip according to whether they believed the song was used for dancing, calming a baby, treating illness, or expressing love.(参与者随后回答了六个问题，根据他们认为歌曲是用于跳舞、安抚婴儿、治疗疾病还是表达爱意，对每个片段进行评分)”可知，在第一个研究中，参与者要区分歌曲的功能。故选A。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“The data showed that despite participants’ unfamiliarity with the cultures, the random sampling of each song, and the short duration of the samples, people were able to reliably infer the songs’ functions, and that their ratings were consistent across the world.(数据显示，尽管参与者对这些文化并不熟悉，每首歌曲都是随机选取的，且样本持续时间很短，但人们仍能够可靠地推断出歌曲的功能，而且他们的评分在全球范围内是一致的)”、第五段中“The findings ran counter to expert expectations. The team had also asked professionals, including performers, composers, psychologists, and scientists about whether they believed people would be able to identify the song types. Their answer was no. And not only that, but they predicted that people’s responses will be inconsistent with one another. “That’s not what we found,” the researchers said.(这一发现ran counter to专家们的预期。研究团队还询问了包括表演者、作曲家、心理学家和科学家在内的专业人士，他们是否认为人们能够识别出歌曲类型。他们的回答是否定的。不仅如此，他们还预测人们的回答会相互不一致。“这并非我们的发现，”研究人员说道)”可知，研究结果与专家预期相反，所以ran counter to意思是“与……相反”。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段中“The researchers also wanted to know whether listeners were recognizing certain non-musical characteristics of the songs. To test that, the team conducted a second study.(研究人员还想知道听众是否通过歌曲的某些非音乐特征来识别。为了验证这一点，团队开展了第二项研究)”可知，研究人员进行第二项研究是为了探索研究结果背后的潜在原因。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Poet and Harvard Professor Henry Wadsworth Longfellow famously said, “Music is the universal language of mankind.” A new Harvard study suggests he may have been right.(诗人、哈佛大学教授亨利·沃兹沃思·朗费罗曾说过一句名言：“音乐是人类通用的语言。”哈佛大学的一项新研究表明，他可能是对的)”以及最后一段中“When data from the two studies were combined, the results showed that songs of the same function shared similar characteristics — lullabies, for example, tended to be slower and simpler than dance music — suggesting that something about musical characteristics crosses cultural boundaries.(当两项研究的数据结合起来时，结果显示，功能相同的歌曲具有相似的特征——例如，摇篮曲往往比舞曲更慢、更简单——这表明音乐特征的一些方面跨越了文化界限)”可知，这两项研究告诉我们音乐的一些方面可能是普遍的。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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The adults in your life play an important role in shaping the person you are.

But by looking for things to feel grateful for, you can reflect on the positives in life, even in the toughest times. ____18____ Building an attitude of gratitude takes time and practice. Noticing all the good that your parents do will not only build and improve relationships, but create a positive cycle, where everyone feels that their efforts are acknowledged. ● ____19____ It might also help to keep in mind that even though the adults in your life can seem all-knowing, they’re actually just ordinary people with strengths and weaknesses. ____20____ Often, they’re only trying to protect and guide you.

Inspired 43. have been equipped 44. creation 45. disappearance 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了中国南方壮族的特殊非物质文化遗产——壮锦织造。 【36题详解】 考查冠词。句意：作为一种传统民间工艺，它与当地节日和日常生活紧密相连。“traditional folk craft”（传统民间工艺）在此处表示泛指，即众多传统民间工艺中的一种。“traditional”以辅音音素开头，用不定冠词“a”。 【37题详解】 考查形容词。句意：壮锦色彩鲜艳、图案独特，看起来引人注目，承载着丰富的文化内涵。“look”在此处为系动词，系动词后需接形容词作表语。“strike”为动词，其形容词形式“striking”意为“引人注目的”。 【38题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：当地的织工，其中大多数是老年妇女，几个世纪以来一直传承着这项技艺。“most of ____3____ are elderly women”为非限制性定语从句，先行词是“Local weavers”（当地织工），指人，且在从句中作介词“of”的宾语，所以用关系代词“whom”引导该定语从句。 【39题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：他们用简单的工具手工制作高质量的锦。“use sth. to do sth.”是固定搭配，意思是“用某物做某事”。 【40题详解】 考查介词。句意：他们用简单的工具手工制作高质量的锦。“by hand”是固定短语，意为“手工”。 【41题详解】 考查形容词。句意：锦缎上有各种各样的图案，记录着当地的故事和自然之美。此处需要一个形容词来修饰名词“patterns”（图案），“vary”是动词，其形容词形式“various”表示“各种各样的”，符合语境。 【42题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：受民间文化的启发，壮族艺术家不断提高他们的技艺。句中已有谓语动词“keep improving”，所以“inspire”要用非谓语形式。“Zhuang artists”（壮族艺术家）与“inspire”（启发）之间是被动关系，即艺术家是被民间文化启发的，所以用过去分词“Inspired”作状语，表被动和完成，置于句首首字母大写。 【43题详解】 考查动词时态和语态。句意：近年来，当地博物馆配备了现代化设备来保护古代锦缎作品。“In recent years”（近年来）是现在完成时的标志词，强调过去发生的动作对现在造成的影响。主语“local museums”（当地博物馆）与“equip”（配备）之间是被动关系，即博物馆是被配备设备的，所以用现在完成时的被动语态，其结构为“have/has been +过去分词”。主语“local museums”是复数，所以用“have been equipped”。 【44题详解】 考查名词。句意：此外，学校开设相关课程，帮助青少年认识到文化创造的价值。根据前面的“cultural”（文化的）可知，此处需要一个名词，“create”是动词，其名词形式“creation”表示“创造”，“cultural creation”即“文化创造”，作“of”的宾语，是不可数名词。故填creation。 【45题详解】 考查名词。句意：只有共同努力，我们才能保护民间工艺，避免壮锦文化的消失。根据空前的“the”和空后的“of”可知，这里需要一个名词，“disappear”是动词，其名词形式“disappearance”表示“消失”，作“avoid”（避免）的宾语，是不可数名词。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 假定你是李华，你的英国笔友Peter对中国历史古迹感兴趣，计划来中国旅游。请你给他写一封邮件，介绍并推荐你家乡的历史文化景点，内容包括： 1．地理位置； 2．历史与特色； 3．游览建议。 注意：写作词数应为80个左右。 Dear Peter, _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】 Dear Peter, Knowing that you are interested in Chinese historical sites and plan to travel to China, I’m writing to recommend a must-visit attraction in my hometown, Xi’an.

The wind blew cool against her cheeks. She was five years old, and, at that moment, being mad at her eleven-year-old brother, David. “How could he have been so mean?” she asked herself, remembering how he had made a face and called her a “big baby” at the breakfast table. “He hates me,” she thought, “just because I took the last cake out from under his nose. He hates me!” The swing carried her up so high that she could see for miles. It was fun looking down at the farmyard below. Her red sweater flashed brightly in the morning sunlight. She stopped thinking about being mad at her brother and started to sing a swinging song. On a distant hill behind the swing, a huge bull (公牛) with long, sharp horns (角) and big, heavy hooves (牛蹄) watched the red sweater flashing in the sunlight. The bull had broken out of his grassland. He was in a bad mood and ready to rush at anything that moved. Then he lowered his massive head and began moving across the field toward the red sweater he saw swinging back and forth beneath the tall tree. Meanwhile, David was in the barnyard (仓院), feeding the chickens. He looked out and saw his little sister on the swing. “Sisters are a pain in the neck,” he thought. Then suddenly he saw the bull rushing across the field, heading straight for his sister. Without a second thought, David screamed as loudly as he could, “Look out behind you! Get out of there! Run!” 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。 His sister didn’t hear him. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then the bull rushed at the place where his sister had been. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 His sister didn’t hear him. She just kept singing and swinging. The bull was halfway across the field and closing in fast. David’s heart pounded. It was now or never. He ran across the chicken yard, jumped over the fence and dashed toward his sister. He ran faster than he had ever run before. Catching one of the ropes, David made the swing stop and pulled his sister sideways to the ground. Then the bull rushed at the place where his sister had been. The little girl let out a terrified cry. The bull stopped, still making deep sounds. Then it faced the siblings and lowered its head to launch another attack. Seeing this, David quickly pulled off his sister’s sweater and threw it as far away as possible. The bull followed it. As the bull was tearing the sweater into pieces, David half-dragged and half-carried his sister to safety. After Mary calmed down, she thanked her brother for rescuing her. From that day on, Mary just laughed every time David called her a ‘big baby’. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达是读后续写。本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了一个小女孩正在边荡秋千边唱着歌，她之前因为被哥哥称呼为“大宝贝”而不愉快。这时身后有一只公牛正在向她冲来，而女孩却一无所知。她的哥哥David冲过来把她从秋千上抱走，并想办法躲避公牛的再次攻击，成功营救妹妹。 【详解】1. 段落续写: ①由第一段首句内容“他妹妹没听见。”以及第二段首句“然后，公牛冲向他妹妹刚才所在的地方。”可知，第一段可描写David如何快速冲过去把秋干上的妹妹抱走。 ②由第二段首句内容“然后，公牛冲向他妹妹刚才所在的地方。”可知，第二段可描写公牛即将发动下一次攻击以及David如何利用妹妹的红毛衣躲过公牛攻击，使妹妹成功获救。 2. 续写线索：David冲向妹妹——解救在秋干上的妹妹——公牛再次攻击——用红毛衣引导公牛——妹妹成功获救 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①抓住：catch/grab/seize ②扔：throw/cast ③救：rescue/save 情绪类 ①害怕的，恐惧的：terrified/frightened ②感激：thank/be grateful for/show gratitude to 【点睛】【高分句型1】Catching one of the ropes, David made the swing stop and pulled his sister sideways to the ground.
