When George got out of the car with the baby lions，his wife Joy Adamson immediately took over.Joy had cared for many young animals over the years，but she had never tried to raise baby lions！However，she was determined to save these babies. The lions grew rapidly.But as the lion grew bigger and stronger，Joy and George realized they could not keep three large lions.They decided to present two of the lions to a zoo；they would keep the smallest lion，which they named Elsa. Joy and George taught Elsa to hunt and to protect herself.Elsa liked to play with her human friends，but as Elsa grew to her adult size，this play became dangerous.More than once，Elsa knocked Joy to the ground，scratching(抓伤) her.Joy and George both realized that it was time to find Elsa a new home.They knew she needed a wild home where she could live the life she was born to lead.Finally，Joy and George decide to set Elsa free in Meru Park at the foot of Mt Kenya. Elsa never forgot Joy and George.Whenever they camped nearby，Elsa would come to visit，rubbing her head against their legs in greeting. Joy missed Elsa，but was happy that she had made a successful life as a wild lion.Joy wrote a book about Elsa，Born Free，which became an international bestseller.Joy travelled all over the world，talking about the importance of saving the wild animals of the world. Joy lived out her life in Africa，working with wild animals.She wrote more books about her experiences.Her heartfelt interest in animals and her great love for Elsa helped inspire (激发) a worldwide movement to protect wildlife.For Joy Adamson，there was no greater gift than the beauty and spirit of wild animals，living free. 4.

C篇 Did you realize that every single thing you buy affects our environment? And just think about the number of people in the world and the amount of things they’re buying each day! It’s unbelievable. The developed countries take up only 20% of the earth — yet we use up over 80% of the planet’s natural resources. This has led to a very unfair wealth distribution. We are all consumers, so we’re all part of the problem! But as long as we care enough, we can change things and keep our waste to the minimum (最低限度). So how might we do this? On November 24 you have to do just one thing: buy nothing! I don’t know about you, but when I think about it, I probably do buy things I won’t use. Like a dress that looked good in the store but back home looks completely different! All the little things build up, so just ask yourself a few questions: Do you really need the product and how often are you likely to use it? I always shop around for a good bargain, and I’m so glad I do. Sometimes it’s too easy to buy an expensive item, only to find a cheaper version which is exactly the same later on! You can find lots more tips and information by visiting the Buy Nothing Day website. And don’t forget to check out and download the posters to advertise the day! The Buy Nothing Day Santa Parade will definitely catch the public’s eye a month before the big Christmas event! Although I’m not sure how the shoppers will go down with the security guards… 8. The problem in Paragraph 2 refers to (指的是) ________. A. the pollution B. the population of the USA C. the unfair wealth distribution D. the waste of natural resources 9. According to Paragraph 3, many of the things the author bought are ________. A. too expensive B. out of date C. poor-quality D. unnecessary 10. We can infer from the passage that the author ________. A. is addicted to shopping B. focuses on little things in life C. advises us to reduce our waste D. doesn’t think Buy Nothing Day does good to the stores 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了过度消费对环境的影响，并倡导通过“无消费日”来减少浪费，保护环境。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The developed countries take up only 20% of the earth — yet we use up over 80% of the planet’s natural resources. This has led to a very unfair wealth distribution. We are all consumers, so we’re all part of the problem! (发达国家只占地球面积的20%，却消耗了地球80%以上的自然资源。这导致了财富分配极不公平。我们都是消费者，所以我们都是问题的一部分！)”可知，第二段中提到的问题指的是不公平的财富分配。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“I don’t know about you, but when I think about it, I probably do buy things I won’t use. Like a dress that looked good in the store but back home looks completely different! (我不知道你怎么想，但当我仔细想想时，我可能确实买了一些我不会用的东西。比如一件在商店里看起来不错，但拿回家后看起来完全不一样的裙子！)”可知，作者会买一些自己不会用的东西，比如一件拿回家后就不想穿的裙子，由此可推测，作者买的许多东西都是不必要的。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“But as long as we care enough, we can change things and keep our waste to the minimum (最低限度). (但只要我们足够关心，我们就能改变现状，把浪费降到最低。)”以及下文提到的“Buy Nothing Day”可知，作者建议我们要减少浪费。 二、词汇选择题(每题1分，共20题，总分20分) 11. This digital ________, known as avatars, are a key part of how people communicate.

I don’t remember much, but when we were young we used to play soccer in the street and we would look forward to opening a new bottle of Coca-Cola at Sunday lunches. There were no cellphones in my house, we printed things out to keep them, and we kept pictures in albums on the shelves in the living room. Our favorite plan was an outing to the countryside, we watched sports on TV, and we listened to the radio first thing in the morning to find out what the latest news in the world was. To know one another, you had to talk to one another, to talk to one another you had to meet in a café, or at the university, or in the library, or in the village where we used to spend the summer. And true friendships were sealed with a handshake and not with a double click. I don’t know about you, but there are days when I wake up with an urgent need to escape from this digital jungle. A couple of nights ago, paying a bill at a restaurant, my bank card failed, the option to pay with my cellphone didn’t work either, and I realized that I haven’t had cash on me in a long time. I walked to six different ATMs in the rain until at last one of them released the money, and I returned to the bar to pay the debt in cash, getting wet again and complaining about the entirety of the digital age. This is not an isolated event. A couple of weeks ago, I missed a train because my phone had no network connection as I had to pass my digital ticket through the reader, and I spent several days unable to access the mail because I had forgotten the password. You will understand that, faced with the flood of digitalization, from the most practical to the most sentimental of sorts, one begins to feel uncomfortable. And sometimes, when no one is looking at me, I close my eyes and long for the world of yesteryear (往昔) when we still had a life, when we looked into people’s eyes, when we lived and spoke without leaving a trace, and when we dared to say “I love you” for real. 51. What did the author use to do to get the latest news in the morning? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 52. What bad experiences did the author have because of digitalization? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 53. What kind of world does the author long for (渴望，想要)? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 54. Does your Dad or Mum have the similar feeling with the author’s about the digital age? Why or why not? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】51. The author used to listen to the radio to get the latest news in the morning. 52. He couldn’t pay at a restaurant, had to walk to six ATMs in the rain to get cash, missed a train due to no network connection, and couldn’t access his email for days because he forgot the password. 53. He longs for the old world where people communicated face to face and lived a simple real life. 54. Yes, they do. They often feel annoyed when online payment fails or electronic devices go wrong, and they miss the simple and slow old days with face-to-face communication. 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了作者对数字时代的困扰与对往昔的怀念。 【51题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第二段中“Our favorite plan was an outing to the countryside, we watched sports on TV, and we listened to the radio first thing in the morning to find out what the latest news in the world was. (我们最喜欢的计划是去乡下郊游，我们在电视上看体育节目，早上第一件事就是听收音机，了解世界上最新的新闻是什么。)”可知，作者过去常常在早上听收音机来获取最新的新闻。 【52题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第三段中“A couple of nights ago, paying a bill at a restaurant, my bank card failed, the option to pay with my cellphone didn’t work either, and I realized that I haven’t had cash on me in a long time. I walked to six different ATMs in the rain until at last one of them released the money, and I returned to the bar to pay the debt in cash, getting wet again and complaining about the entirety of the digital age. (几天前的一个晚上，我在一家餐厅付账时，银行卡刷不了，用手机支付的选项也用不了，这时我才意识到自己已经很久没带现金了。我冒雨走到了六台不同的自动取款机前，直到最后一台终于吐出了钱。我又淋着雨回到那家餐厅用现金付了账，浑身再次湿透，一边抱怨着整个数字时代。)”以及第四段中“A couple of weeks ago, I missed a train because my phone had no network connection as I had to pass my digital ticket through the reader, and I spent several days unable to access the mail because I had forgotten the password. (几周前，我错过了一趟火车，因为当时我的手机没有网络连接，而我又必须用手机上的电子票通过读卡器检票；此外，我还因为忘记了密码，有好几天无法登录邮箱。)”可知，作者因为数字化而遇到的糟糕经历包括：他在餐厅付不了账，只好冒雨走到六台自动取款机前取现金；因为手机没有网络连接而错过了一趟火车；还因为忘记了密码，好几天都无法登录邮箱。 【53题详解】 考查推理判断。根据最后一段中“And sometimes, when no one is looking at me, I close my eyes and long for the world of yesteryear (往昔) when we still had a life, when we looked into people’s eyes, when we lived and spoke without leaving a trace, and when we dared to say “I love you” for real. (有时，在没人看着我的时候，我会闭上眼睛，渴望回到往昔的世界，那时我们还有真正的生活，我们注视着彼此的眼睛，我们生活和说话不留痕迹，我们敢于真心实意地说出“我爱你”。)”可知，作者渴望往昔面对面相处、朴实真实的旧时光。 【54题详解】 开放性题目。此题询问父母是否与作者对数字时代有类似的感受，答案不唯一，合理即可。例如：是的，他们深有同感。每当线上支付失败或是电子设备出故障时，他们总会心生烦闷，也十分怀念往昔节奏舒缓、能面对面谈心的简单日子。 五、书面表达 55. 假设你是红星中学高一学生李华，你校正在举办主题为“The People I Admire”的征文活动，请你写一篇征文投稿，词数100左右，内容包括： 1. 你敬佩的人是谁 2. 该人物的主要事迹 3. 该人物对你的影响 可用词汇：brave, remarkable, deeply admirable, respect, make contribution to… not only…but also… Although… 可用句型：The person I admire the most is…who is… …will always be remembered as a… As for me, it’s…that… Inspired by her/his story, I… ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 The People I Admire The person I admire the most is Tu Youyou, who is a remarkable scientist in China.

B篇 George was a game warden(猎物繁殖和保护区的管理员)in Kenya.One day，he found three tiny lions beside a dead lioness.They were so little that their eyes had not yet opened.Sadly，he took the three little lions and drove back home.

George：a game warden C篇 Did you realize that every single thing you buy affects our environment? And just think about the number of people in the world and the amount of things they’re buying each day! It’s unbelievable. The developed countries take up only 20% of the earth — yet we use up over 80% of the planet’s natural resources. This has led to a very unfair wealth distribution. We are all consumers, so we’re all part of the problem! But as long as we care enough, we can change things and keep our waste to the minimum (最低限度). So how might we do this? On November 24 you have to do just one thing: buy nothing! I don’t know about you, but when I think about it, I probably do buy things I won’t use. Like a dress that looked good in the store but back home looks completely different! All the little things build up, so just ask yourself a few questions: Do you really need the product and how often are you likely to use it? I always shop around for a good bargain, and I’m so glad I do. Sometimes it’s too easy to buy an expensive item, only to find a cheaper version which is exactly the same later on! You can find lots more tips and information by visiting the Buy Nothing Day website. And don’t forget to check out and download the posters to advertise the day! The Buy Nothing Day Santa Parade will definitely catch the public’s eye a month before the big Christmas event! Although I’m not sure how the shoppers will go down with the security guards… 8.

I don’t remember much, but when we were young we used to play soccer in the street and we would look forward to opening a new bottle of Coca-Cola at Sunday lunches. There were no cellphones in my house, we printed things out to keep them, and we kept pictures in albums on the shelves in the living room. Our favorite plan was an outing to the countryside, we watched sports on TV, and we listened to the radio first thing in the morning to find out what the latest news in the world was. To know one another, you had to talk to one another, to talk to one another you had to meet in a café, or at the university, or in the library, or in the village where we used to spend the summer. And true friendships were sealed with a handshake and not with a double click. I don’t know about you, but there are days when I wake up with an urgent need to escape from this digital jungle. A couple of nights ago, paying a bill at a restaurant, my bank card failed, the option to pay with my cellphone didn’t work either, and I realized that I haven’t had cash on me in a long time. I walked to six different ATMs in the rain until at last one of them released the money, and I returned to the bar to pay the debt in cash, getting wet again and complaining about the entirety of the digital age. This is not an isolated event. A couple of weeks ago, I missed a train because my phone had no network connection as I had to pass my digital ticket through the reader, and I spent several days unable to access the mail because I had forgotten the password. You will understand that, faced with the flood of digitalization, from the most practical to the most sentimental of sorts, one begins to feel uncomfortable. And sometimes, when no one is looking at me, I close my eyes and long for the world of yesteryear (往昔) when we still had a life, when we looked into people’s eyes, when we lived and spoke without leaving a trace, and when we dared to say “I love you” for real. 51. What did the author use to do to get the latest news in the morning? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 52. What bad experiences did the author have because of digitalization? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 53. What kind of world does the author long for (渴望，想要)? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 54. Does your Dad or Mum have the similar feeling with the author’s about the digital age? Why or why not? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 五、书面表达 55. 假设你是红星中学高一学生李华，你校正在举办主题为“The People I Admire”的征文活动，请你写一篇征文投稿，词数100左右，内容包括： 1. 你敬佩的人是谁 2. 该人物的主要事迹 3. 该人物对你的影响 可用词汇：brave, remarkable, deeply admirable, respect, make contribution to… not only…but also… Although… 可用句型：The person I admire the most is…who is… …will always be remembered as a… As for me, it’s…that… Inspired by her/his story, I… ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
