B My sister Priscilla and I recently returned from a week-long vacation in Portugal. The rumors about Portuguese egg tarts are true — they taste like heaven! However, beyond the treats, one memory from Lisbon stands out. Before the trip, I had planned a detailed route, and visiting Livraria do Simao, one of the world’s smallest bookshops, was a must. On our first day, we searched for it. While we found the world’s oldest bookstore, the smallest one proved impossible to find, especially for two worn-out girls struggling with Portuguese street names. As our schedule was jam-packed, finding it later seemed unlikely. On our last day, after a trip to Cascais, we unplannedly decided to visit a historic flea market. We walked for an hour up steep hills, only to find the dealers closing shop. Tired and tense, Priscilla and I argued over directions. My insistence on a right turn led us further off course. Soon, we were so lost that we couldn’t even locate ourselves on the map! Suddenly, we both started laughing at the silliness of the situation. How could one wrong turn leave us so completely lost? We made another random turn onto Rua da Madalena, which sounded familiar. As we continued, I spotted a small, hidden store with books in its windows. “Oh my goodness!” I exclaimed, “The bookshop!” It was exactly the place I had searched for on day one. My delight was obvious. A man outside pointed to his friend saying, “This is the owner. Do you want to go inside?” I eagerly entered the shop, which was no bigger than a walk-in closet. The owner even invited me to sit at his desk to experience his work life. I couldn’t stop smiling even after leaving. We hadn’t just visited a shop; we had gained a unique memory. I couldn’t get over all the little things that had come together to lead us there at that very moment. If we hadn’t decided to visit the flea market at the last-minute, if I hadn’t insisted we turn right, if we hadn’t gotten lost… 4. What made it hard for the girls to find the bookshop on Day 1? A. Their map skills were quite poor. B. Their detailed route was incorrect. C. The bookshop was poorly marked. D. They were exhausted and confused. 5. What does their argument reveal about the sisters? A. They often relied on each other. B. Their patience was wearing thin. C. They rarely followed planned route. D. They had frequent disagreements. 6. Which of the following best describes the bookstore owner? A. Professional and serious. B. Wealthy and successful. C. Welcoming and hospitable. D. Occupied and indifferent. 7. What is the story’s underlying message? A. Careful planning ensures eventual success. B. Persistence guarantees longed-for outcomes. C. Unexpected paths lead to rewarding experiences. D. Travel always involves unanticipated challenges. C As plant-based milks gain popularity for health or dietary reasons, almond milk has become a top choice. Its soaring sales mean a huge demand for almonds, with sales in the US exceeding $1 billion in 2018 and expected to climb further. Most of these almonds are grown in California, which produces 80 percent of the world’s supply. However, growing these almonds requires a critical resource: bees. Bees are essential for pollination, but the vast almond farms in California pose significant challenges to them. The pollination season starts unusually early, forcing bees to work when they would normally be dormant (休眠的), which disrupts their natural cycle. Moreover, these farms expose bees to various hazards, such as toxic pesticides and parasites. This intensive farming contributes to a wider crisis for bee populations globally. In the United States, millions of bees are dying each year. For instance, one report indicated an average loss of 1.6 million bees annually over a seven-year period, with some winters being particularly harsh for bee colonies. This massive loss extends far beyond the almond industry. Since bees are essential for pollinating many crops, their disappearance threatens global food security and biodiversity. While some hope that advanced technology or tiny drones might one day replace natural pollinators, such solutions remain far from practical at a global scale. Without these tireless workers, the production of fruits and vegetables would drop sharply, destabilizing the entire natural food chain. Yet, the situation is not entirely without hope. The public is becoming increasingly aware of the severe dangers faced by bees, and a consensus has been reached that their protection should be a top priority. The Almond Board of California, for example, emphasizes its commitment to bee health, stating that it has funded more research projects to support bees than any other crop group. Individuals including local farmers, gardeners and homeowners also contribute by avoiding chemical pesticides and planting bee-friendly gardens. These efforts reflect a growing global understanding: the survival of the bee is essential for the future of our planet. 8. What is Paragraph 1 intended to do? A. To show the popularity of almond milk. B. To introduce the topic of healthy eating. C. To highlight the driver of intensive farming. D. To imply the necessity of market competition. 9. What does the underlined word “hazards” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Sources. B. Benefits. C. Dangers. D. Solutions. 10. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3? A. The decline of bees primarily affect the almond industry. B The food chain still depends largely on pollinating insects. C. Human intervention has stabilized the natural ecosystem. D. Technological advances will replace bees in crop pollination. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Farm Pollination: Vital Link in Food Security B. Almond Industry: A Threat to Local Ecosystem C. Drone Employment: A solution to the Bee Crisis D. Bee Crisis: Hidden Cost of Almond Milk Popularity D Music plays a central role in human emotion and culture. It can connect people and express feelings across different societies. For centuries, thinkers like Darwin have been puzzled by music’s profound effect on us. Why do we enjoy music so much? Why do certain sounds bring us such pleasure? Is our ability to appreciate it rooted in our biology? A recent genetic twin study, published in Nature Communications, suggests that music enjoyment is partly heritable (可遗传的). To investigate whether genetic factors contribute to “music reward sensitivity” — the ability to feel pleasure from music — the team used a twin study design. The team compares identical twins, who share nearly all their genes, with fraternal twins, who share about half. If identical twins show more similar music enjoyment, it suggests a genetic link. Over 9,000 participants completed detailed questionnaires, where they rated their emotional responses to various melodies, reported general experiences of reward, as well as described their ability to hear musical elements like pitch and rhythm. The researchers then applied statistical models to analyze the data, ensuring that environmental factors like family upbringing were accounted for. This rigorous (缜密的) process allowed the team to focus on the specific influence of genetics on musical pleasure. The findings confirmed that the ability to experience pleasure from music is partly heritable. Specifically the researchers estimated that 54% of the differences in music enjoyment among individuals were linked to DNA variations. Crucially, they found that the genetic factors influencing music enjoyment were partly distinct from those influencing general pleasure from rewarding experiences or even basic musical abilities. Different genetic pathways were also found to affect various aspects of music enjoyment, such as using music for emotional regulation, dancing to a beat, or playing music with others. “These findings paint a complex picture where different DNA variations contribute to various elements of music enjoyment,” concluded Giacomo Bignardi, the lead author. This research opens up new possibilities for understanding how our genes shape our musical experiences. Future studies exploring specific parts of the human genome could help unlock the mystery of music, a human ability that fascinated Darwin and continues to charm scientists today. 12. Why does the author mention Darwin in paragraph 1? A. To prove music is a biological instinct. B. To stress the lasting mystery of music. C. To introduce the Max Planck Institute. D. To explain the evolution of musicality. 13. What can we infer about the twin study? A. It focused on fraternal twins instead of identical ones. B It ignored participants’ basic musical abilities. C. It provides reliable evidence for genetic influence. D. It has solved the long-standing mystery of music. 14. Which best describes the study’s findings on music pleasure? A. Its genetic system is quite independent. B. Multiple genetic pathways are involved. C. Musical skills dominate its heritability. D. Emotional regulation decides pleasure levels. 15. What is the author’s attitude toward the research findings? A. Skeptical. B. Pessimistic. C. Positive. D. Cautious. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Develop Art Appreciation Skills Art appreciation helps us see beauty in everyday life. As Rodin said, “The world is never short of beauty, but a pair of eyes that can discover it.” Here are some practical strategies to help you develop this ability. Start with observation The first step is simply to look carefully. ____16____. Spending minutes silently looking can help limit distractions and prime our visual sense. Ask yourself what specific emotions are stirred up by the interplay of colors, lines, and shapes? The key is to keep your eyes open and your mind active. The longer you gaze, the more hidden layers of meaning will reveal themselves to you. ____17____ Every artwork tells a story. To truly appreciate it you need to understand the context — the time period, the artist’s life, and the social conditions. When you know that Van Gogh painted Starry Night while staying in a mental hospital, the painting becomes much more meaningful. Compare different works Put two artworks side by side — from the same artist at different times, or from different artists with similar themes. By comparing, you train your eyes to see differences and similarities. For example, compare a traditional Chinese ink painting with a Western oil painting. ____18____. Express your feelings ____19____. It is about personal feelings as well. Don’t be afraid to say “I like this” or “I don’t understand that.” There is no wrong answer when it comes to how a piece of art makes you feel. Sharing your feelings is an important part of the process. You can keep an art journal or discuss with friends. Putting feelings into words helps you understand your own taste better. Practice regularly Art appreciation is a skill that requires regular practice. Visit a museum once a month. ____20____. Or join an art club. As you see your art, your visual vocabulary naturally expands, enabling you to appreciate beauty in all its forms. A. Learn the background B. Understand the artist’s feeling C. Your artwork is not just documentation D. Don’t just glance at a painting and move on E. Art appreciation is not merely about knowledge F. Spend ten minutes daily looking at one artwork online G. This helps you understand varied styles and techniques 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D后四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 81-year-old good friends Ellie Hamby and Sandy Hazelip toured the world in 80 days, proving that adventure doesn’t have an age limit.

They knew there would be someone there to teach the children first aid. But they had no idea just how soon Sophie would need her first aid skills, and what a difference it would make to both their lives. In the club, the children learned a lot of techniques like what to do if someone burns themselves and how to help someone who is unconscious without breathing. Sophie, who was quite a shy girl and didn’t get involved in new things very easily, learned carefully. But deep in her heart, there was a voice whispering, “no doubt they are useful skills, but I don’t think I’d have to use them.” But just a week later, on a quiet night which was much like any other, she was upstairs reading when she suddenly heard a loud crash from the kitchen — the sound of breaking glass. Her heart raced. She ran downstairs and found her mother lying unconscious on the floor. Broken glass and water were everywhere. Her mother was reaching for a glass of water when she collapsed. Sophie later learned it was likely a heart attack. Her father rushed in, followed by her younger brother and sister. “Mom! Mom!” the little ones cried, tears streaming down their faces. They grabbed their mother’s arm and shook it. “Don’t touch her!” Sophie said firmly. She knelt beside her mother and quickly checked for breathing. She leaned close. Nothing. No breath. No chest movement. For a moment, fear washed over her. But she took a deep breath, telling herself, “Stay calm. You know what to do.” Meanwhile, her father was already on the phone with 911, his voice shaking. Her brother and sister were wailing in panic. 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。 Sophie knew there was no time to wait. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After what seemed like ages to them, the ambulance finally arrived. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 重庆外国语学校 2025—2026学年度(下期)高2027届期中考试 英语试题 (满分150分，120分钟完成) 命题人 高中英语命题组 审题人 高中英语命题组 第Ⅰ卷 选择题(共95分) 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.

Soon, we were so lost that we couldn’t even locate ourselves on the map! Suddenly, we both started laughing at the silliness of the situation. How could one wrong turn leave us so completely lost? We made another random turn onto Rua da Madalena, which sounded familiar. As we continued, I spotted a small, hidden store with books in its windows. “Oh my goodness!” I exclaimed, “The bookshop!” It was exactly the place I had searched for on day one. My delight was obvious. A man outside pointed to his friend, saying, “This is the owner. Do you want to go inside?” I eagerly entered the shop, which was no bigger than a walk-in closet. The owner even invited me to sit at his desk to experience his work life. I couldn’t stop smiling even after leaving. We hadn’t just visited a shop; we had gained a unique memory. I couldn’t get over all the little things that had come together to lead us there at that very moment. If we hadn’t decided to visit the flea market at the last-minute, if I hadn’t insisted we turn right, if we hadn’t gotten lost… 4. What made it hard for the girls to find the bookshop on Day 1? A. Their map skills were quite poor. B. Their detailed route was incorrect. C. The bookshop was poorly marked. D. They were exhausted and confused. 5. What does their argument reveal about the sisters?

Its soaring sales mean a huge demand for almonds, with sales in the US exceeding $1 billion in 2018 and expected to climb further. Most of these almonds are grown in California, which produces 80 percent of the world’s supply. However, growing these almonds requires a critical resource: bees. Bees are essential for pollination, but the vast almond farms in California pose significant challenges to them. The pollination season starts unusually early, forcing bees to work when they would normally be dormant (休眠的), which disrupts their natural cycle. Moreover, these farms expose bees to various hazards, such as toxic pesticides and parasites. This intensive farming contributes to a wider crisis for bee populations globally. In the United States, millions of bees are dying each year. For instance, one report indicated an average loss of 1.6 million bees annually over a seven-year period, with some winters being particularly harsh for bee colonies. This massive loss extends far beyond the almond industry. Since bees are essential for pollinating many crops, their disappearance threatens global food security and biodiversity. While some hope that advanced technology or tiny drones might one day replace natural pollinators, such solutions remain far from practical at a global scale. Without these tireless workers, the production of fruits and vegetables would drop sharply, destabilizing the entire natural food chain. Yet, the situation is not entirely without hope. The public is becoming increasingly aware of the severe dangers faced by bees, and a consensus has been reached that their protection should be a top priority. The Almond Board of California, for example, emphasizes its commitment to bee health, stating that it has funded more research projects to support bees than any other crop group. Individuals including local farmers, gardeners and homeowners also contribute by avoiding chemical pesticides and planting bee-friendly gardens. These efforts reflect a growing global understanding: the survival of the bee is essential for the future of our planet. 8. What is Paragraph 1 intended to do? A. To show the popularity of almond milk. B. To introduce the topic of healthy eating. C. To highlight the driver of intensive farming. D. To imply the necessity of market competition. 9. What does the underlined word “hazards” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Sources. B. Benefits. C. Dangers. D. Solutions. 10. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3? A. The decline of bees primarily affect the almond industry. B. The food chain still depends largely on pollinating insects. C. Human intervention has stabilized the natural ecosystem. D. Technological advances will replace bees in crop pollination. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Farm Pollination: Vital Link in Food Security B. Almond Industry: A Threat to Local Ecosystem C. Drone Employment: A solution to the Bee Crisis D. Bee Crisis: Hidden Cost of Almond Milk Popularity 【答案】8. C 9. C 10. B 11.

It can connect people and express feelings across different societies. For centuries, thinkers like Darwin have been puzzled by music’s profound effect on us. Why do we enjoy music so much? Why do certain sounds bring us such pleasure? Is our ability to appreciate it rooted in our biology? A recent genetic twin study, published in Nature Communications, suggests that music enjoyment is partly heritable (可遗传的). To investigate whether genetic factors contribute to “music reward sensitivity” — the ability to feel pleasure from music — the team used a twin study design. The team compares identical twins, who share nearly all their genes, with fraternal twins, who share about half. If identical twins show more similar music enjoyment, it suggests a genetic link. Over 9,000 participants completed detailed questionnaires, where they rated their emotional responses to various melodies, reported general experiences of reward, as well as described their ability to hear musical elements like pitch and rhythm. The researchers then applied statistical models to analyze the data, ensuring that environmental factors like family upbringing were accounted for. This rigorous (缜密的) process allowed the team to focus on the specific influence of genetics on musical pleasure. The findings confirmed that the ability to experience pleasure from music is partly heritable. Specifically, the researchers estimated that 54% of the differences in music enjoyment among individuals were linked to DNA variations. Crucially, they found that the genetic factors influencing music enjoyment were partly distinct from those influencing general pleasure from rewarding experiences or even basic musical abilities. Different genetic pathways were also found to affect various aspects of music enjoyment, such as using music for emotional regulation, dancing to a beat, or playing music with others. “These findings paint a complex picture where different DNA variations contribute to various elements of music enjoyment,” concluded Giacomo Bignardi, the lead author. This research opens up new possibilities for understanding how our genes shape our musical experiences. Future studies exploring specific parts of the human genome could help unlock the mystery of music, a human ability that fascinated Darwin and continues to charm scientists today. 12. Why does the author mention Darwin in paragraph 1? A. To prove music is a biological instinct. B. To stress the lasting mystery of music. C. To introduce the Max Planck Institute. D. To explain the evolution of musicality. 13. What can we infer about the twin study? A. It focused on fraternal twins instead of identical ones. B. It ignored participants’ basic musical abilities. C. It provides reliable evidence for genetic influence. D. It has solved the long-standing mystery of music. 14. Which best describes the study’s findings on music pleasure? A. Its genetic system is quite independent. B. Multiple genetic pathways are involved. C. Musical skills dominate its heritability. D. Emotional regulation decides pleasure levels. 15. What is the author’s attitude toward the research findings? A. Skeptical. B. Pessimistic. C. Positive. D. Cautious. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了一项双胞胎研究表明，人们对音乐的喜爱有部分遗传性，约54% 的个体差异与基因相关，且不同遗传途径影响音乐体验的不同方面，该研究也为相关探索开辟了新方向。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“For centuries, thinkers like Darwin have been puzzled by music’s profound effect on us. Why do we enjoy music so much? Why do certain sounds bring us such pleasure? Is our ability to appreciate it rooted in our biology? (几个世纪以来，达尔文等思想家一直对音乐对我们产生的深远影响感到困惑：我们为何如此喜爱音乐？为什么某些声音能带给我们如此愉悦的感受？我们欣赏音乐的能力是否源于生物学因素？)”可知，作者在第一段中提到达尔文是为了强调音乐的持久之谜。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“This rigorous (缜密的) process allowed the team to focus on the specific influence of genetics on musical pleasure.(这一严谨的过程使团队能够专注于基因对音乐愉悦感的具体影响)”可知，双胞胎研究提供了遗传因素影响的可靠证据。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Different genetic pathways were also found to affect various aspects of music enjoyment, such as using music for emotional regulation, dancing to a beat, or playing music with others.(研究还发现，不同的基因通路会影响音乐欣赏的各个方面，例如用音乐调节情绪、随着节奏跳舞，或与他人一起演奏音乐)”可知，最能描述该研究关于音乐愉悦的发现的是多条遗传途径都参与其中。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“This research opens up new possibilities for understanding how our genes shape our musical experiences. Future studies exploring specific parts of the human genome could help unlock the mystery of music, a human ability that fascinated Darwin and continues to charm scientists today.(这项研究为理解基因如何塑造我们的音乐体验开辟了新的可能性。未来对人类基因组特定部分的研究，或许能揭开音乐之谜——这种人类能力曾令达尔文着迷，至今仍令科学家为之倾倒)”可知，作者对研究结果持积极态度。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Develop Art Appreciation Skills Art appreciation helps us see beauty in everyday life. As Rodin said, “The world is never short of beauty, but a pair of eyes that can discover it.” Here are some practical strategies to help you develop this ability. Start with observation The first step is simply to look carefully. ____16____. Spending minutes silently looking can help limit distractions and prime our visual sense. Ask yourself what specific emotions are stirred up by the interplay of colors, lines, and shapes? The key is to keep your eyes open and your mind active. The longer you gaze, the more hidden layers of meaning will reveal themselves to you. ____17____ Every artwork tells a story. To truly appreciate it, you need to understand the context — the time period, the artist’s life, and the social conditions. When you know that Van Gogh painted Starry Night while staying in a mental hospital, the painting becomes much more meaningful. Compare different works Put two artworks side by side — from the same artist at different times, or from different artists with similar themes. By comparing, you train your eyes to see differences and similarities. For example, compare a traditional Chinese ink painting with a Western oil painting. ____18____. Express your feelings ____19____. It is about personal feelings as well. Don’t be afraid to say “I like this” or “I don’t understand that.” There is no wrong answer when it comes to how a piece of art makes you feel. Sharing your feelings is an important part of the process. You can keep an art journal or discuss with friends. Putting feelings into words helps you understand your own taste better. Practice regularly Art appreciation is a skill that requires regular practice. Visit a museum once a month. ____20____. Or join an art club. As you see your art, your visual vocabulary naturally expands, enabling you to appreciate beauty in all its forms. A. Learn the background B. Understand the artist’s feeling C. Your artwork is not just documentation D. Don’t just glance at a painting and move on E. Art appreciation is not merely about knowledge F. Spend ten minutes daily looking at one artwork online G. This helps you understand varied styles and techniques 【答案】16. D 17. A 18. G 19. E 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍五项培养艺术鉴赏能力的方法：用心观察、了解作品背景、对比不同作品、表达个人感受以及坚持日常练习，帮助人们发现生活中的美。 【16题详解】 根据上文“The first step is simply to look carefully.(第一步就是仔细观察)”以及后文“Spending minutes silently looking can help limit distractions and prime our visual sense.(安静地花几分钟凝视有助于减少干扰，并激活我们的视觉感知)”可知，第一段强调培养艺术鉴赏力第一步是认真观察，空后提出花时间静看的好处，D项“不要只扫一眼画作就走开”衔接上下文，符合语境。 【17题详解】 根据后文“Every artwork tells a story. To truly appreciate it, you need to understand the context — the time period, the artist’s life, and the social conditions. When you know that Van Gogh painted Starry Night while staying in a mental hospital, the painting becomes much more meaningful.(每一件艺术作品都在讲述一个故事。要真正欣赏它，你需要了解其背景——所处的时代、艺术家的生平以及当时的社会环境。当你知道梵高是在精神病院期间创作《星夜》时，这幅画的意义就会变得深远得多)”可知，此处为段落小标题，本段核心内容是需要理解艺术品所处的时代、艺术家生平、社会环境等背景信息，A项“了解背景”准确概括段意。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Put two artworks side by side — from the same artist at different times, or from different artists with similar themes. By comparing, you train your eyes to see differences and similarities. For example, compare a traditional Chinese ink painting with a Western oil painting.(将两幅艺术作品并排摆放——来自同一艺术家的不同时间创作，或来自不同艺术家但主题相似的作品。通过比较，你能够训练眼睛去发现差异与相似之处。例如，将一幅中国传统水墨画与一幅西方油画进行对比)”可知，前文提出对比不同时期、不同类型艺术品，举了中西方不同画作对比的例子，G项“这能帮助你理解不同的风格与技法”点明对比的作用，符合逻辑。 【19题详解】 根据后文“It is about personal feelings as well. Don’t be afraid to say “I like this” or “I don’t understand that.” There is no wrong answer when it comes to how a piece of art makes you feel. Sharing your feelings is an important part of the process. You can keep an art journal or discuss with friends. Putting feelings into words helps you understand your own taste better.(这也关乎个人的感受。不要害怕说“我喜欢这个”或“我不明白这一点”。艺术作品让你产生怎样的感受，没有对错之分。分享自己的感受是整个过程中的重要部分。你可以写艺术日记，或与朋友交流。将情感用文字表达出来，有助于你更好地理解自己的审美品味)”可知，空后指出艺术鉴赏也关乎个人感受，E项“艺术鉴赏不仅仅关乎知识”中not merely与后文as well呼应，衔接自然。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Art appreciation is a skill that requires regular practice. Visit a museum once a month.(欣赏艺术是一项需要长期练习的技能。每月去一次博物馆)”以及后文“Or join an art club. As you see your art, your visual vocabulary naturally expands, enabling you to appreciate beauty in all its forms.(或者加入一个艺术俱乐部。当你欣赏更多艺术作品时，你的视觉词汇会自然而然地扩展，从而能够欣赏到各种形式的美)”可知，本段强调艺术鉴赏需要定期练习，空前提到每月参观博物馆，空后提到或者加入艺术俱乐部，F项“每天花十分钟在线欣赏一件艺术品”属于日常练习方式，和前后内容并列，符合语境。 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D后四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 81-year-old good friends Ellie Hamby and Sandy Hazelip toured the world in 80 days, proving that adventure doesn’t have an age limit.

They knew there would be someone there to teach the children first aid. But they had no idea just how soon Sophie would need her first aid skills, and what a difference it would make to both their lives. In the club, the children learned a lot of techniques like what to do if someone burns themselves and how to help someone who is unconscious without breathing. Sophie, who was quite a shy girl and didn’t get involved in new things very easily, learned carefully. But deep in her heart, there was a voice whispering, “no doubt they are useful skills, but I don’t think I’d have to use them.” But just a week later, on a quiet night which was much like any other, she was upstairs reading when she suddenly heard a loud crash from the kitchen — the sound of breaking glass. Her heart raced. She ran downstairs and found her mother lying unconscious on the floor. Broken glass and water were everywhere. Her mother was reaching for a glass of water when she collapsed. Sophie later learned it was likely a heart attack. Her father rushed in, followed by her younger brother and sister. “Mom! Mom!” the little ones cried, tears streaming down their faces. They grabbed their mother’s arm and shook it. “Don’t touch her!” Sophie said firmly. She knelt beside her mother and quickly checked for breathing. She leaned close. Nothing. No breath. No chest movement. For a moment, fear washed over her. But she took a deep breath, telling herself, “Stay calm. You know what to do.” Meanwhile, her father was already on the phone with 911, his voice shaking. Her brother and sister were wailing in panic. 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。 Sophie knew there was no time to wait. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After what seemed like ages to them, the ambulance finally arrived. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Sophie knew there was no time to wait. She immediately began to perform first aid skills she had learned at the Beavers club. Placing her hands correctly on her mother’s chest, she started doing CPR steadily and patiently. Despite her arms growing sore and the frightened cries of her younger siblings, she never paused or gave up. Her father watched beside her, full of amazement and relief at his daughter’s bravery. Sophie kept calming herself down, focusing all her attention on bringing her mother back to consciousness. After what seemed like ages to them, the ambulance finally arrived. Professional medical workers quickly took over the rescue work and praised Sophie for her correct and timely first aid. Thanks to her prompt efforts, her mother’s vital signs remained stable before being sent to hospital. Soon, her mother regained consciousness. Later, doctors said Sophie’s quick action had saved her mother’s life. This experience changed shy Sophie greatly. She became more confident and realized that practical skills and calmness can create miracles in emergencies. 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了15 岁的索菲在俱乐部学习了急救知识，本以为用不上。一周后，母亲突发心脏病倒地昏迷。强压恐惧的索菲制止慌乱的家人，冷静为母亲实施心肺复苏。救护车赶到后，医护人员接手救治。得益于索菲及时正确的急救，母亲得以脱险。这次经历也让原本腼腆的索菲变得更加自信。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写索菲制止慌乱的家人，冷静为母亲实施心肺复苏。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写救护车赶到后，医护人员接手救治。得益于索菲及时正确的急救，母亲得以脱险。这次经历也让原本腼腆的索菲变得更加自信。 2.续写线索：实施心肺复苏→父亲为女儿的勇敢高兴→救护车赶到→母亲得救→索菲变得自信→索菲感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①集中：focus on/concentrate on ②意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 ①自信的：confident/self-assured ②害怕的：frightened/scared 【点睛】[高分句型1] Sophie kept calming herself down, focusing all her attention on bringing her mother back to consciousness.（运用了现在分词作状语） [高分句型2] She became more confident and realized that practical skills and calmness can create miracles in emergencies.（运用了that引导宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
