The silver medals that the Chinese were left with still represented their country’s best finish in the global showpiece in 28 years. Not since 1994 – in a tournament (锦标赛) held, like this one, in Australia – had they won a medal of any colour. At the World Cup, China played a total of eight matches, winning six of them. They entered the final of a major international competition for the first time in almost three decades, before losing to defending champions the United States to finish runners-up for the second time in history. China’s performance at the tournament received much attention from Chinese people both at home and abroad, especially as the final fell on the country’s National Day. Chinese flags were waved and the national anthem (国歌) was sung in the stadium, giving people a feeling that the team was playing on their home court. Although losing the game, the team was met with praise and encouragement from Chinese netizens as people have walked away from a “medal-oriented” mentality, and started to accept more the spirit of sportsmanship and “perform your best” spirit. Many Chinese netizens said they were proud of the players for trying their best and fighting until the last minutes which showed the true sportsmanship. The mental strength and quality of the Chinese women’s basketball team are even more valuable than being the runner-up in the World Cup, they said. The Chinese women’s basketball team is already the champion in our hearts, commented an internet user. “We should admit the gap in the strength between the two teams. However, the women basketball players have presented an exciting game, playing good defense and never hesitating to attack. I am so proud of them, and it is special our National Day.” said one Weibo user. 4. What makes this final most impressive? A. Winning the six matches as a whole. B. Entering the final competition of all time. C. Meeting with our country’s National Day. D. Receiving much attention home and abroad. 5. How do Chinese netizens feel about China’s winning silver medals? A. Surprised and upset. B. Excited and inspired. C. Annoyed and grateful. D. Encouraged and curious. 6. Why do people feel that the team was playing on the home court? A. The team won the silver medals after 28 years. B. The match received amounts of attention globally. C. China’s women’s basketball team entered the final. D. Chinese flags and anthem sprang up in the stadium. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. Our country’s National Day. B. Our gratitude to the coach. C. The FIBA World Cup history. D. A special gift for the National Day. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是新闻报道。文章主要讲述了中国女篮赢得了世界杯银牌，恰逢中国的国庆节，给国庆献上了一份特别的礼物，使得这次比赛更令人印象深刻。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“China’s performance at the tournament received much attention from Chinese people both at home and abroad, especially as the final fell on the country’s National Day.(中国队在比赛中的表现受到了国内外中国人的广泛关注，尤其是在决赛恰逢国庆节的时候。)”可知，这次决赛令人印象深刻是因为恰逢我们的国庆节。故选C。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Although losing the game, the team was met with praise and encouragement from Chinese netizens as people have walked away from a “medal-oriented” mentality, and started to accept more the spirit of sportsmanship and “perform your best” spirit. Many Chinese netizens said they were proud of the players for trying their best and fighting until the last minutes which showed the true sportsmanship. The mental strength and quality of the Chinese women’s basketball team are even more valuable than being the runner-up in the World Cup, they said. The Chinese women’s basketball team is already the champion in our hearts, commented an internet user.( 虽然输掉了比赛，但这支队伍受到了中国网民的赞扬和鼓励，因为人们已经摆脱了“以奖牌为导向”的心态，开始更多地接受体育精神和“做到最好”的精神。许多中国网民表示，他们为运动员们竭尽全力、战斗到最后一刻而感到骄傲，这体现了真正的体育精神。他们说，中国女篮的精神力量和素质比获得世界杯亚军更有价值。中国女篮已经是我们心中的冠军，一位网友评论道。)”可知，对于中国队赢得银牌中国网民感到骄傲，给予了赞扬和鼓励，认为这体现了真正的体育精神，因此推断他们是激动的，感到受鼓舞的。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“Chinese flags were waved and the national anthem(国歌) was sung in the stadium, giving people a feeling that the team was playing on their home court.(体育场里挥舞着中国国旗，唱着中国国歌，给人一种球队在自己的主场比赛的感觉。)”可知，中国国旗和国歌在体育场里出现让人们感觉像在自己的主场比赛。故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段的“China’s women’s basketball team was beaten by the United States in the final of the FIBA World Cup in Sydney. The silver medals that the Chinese were left with still represented their country’s best finish in the global showpiece in 28 years.( 在悉尼举行的国际篮联世界杯决赛中，中国女篮被美国队击败。中国获得的银牌仍然代表着中国28年来在全球盛会上取得的最好成绩。)”和第三段的“China’s performance at the tournament received much attention from Chinese people both at home and abroad, especially as the final fell on the country’s National Day.( 中国队在比赛中的表现受到了国内外中国人的广泛关注，尤其是在决赛恰逢国庆节的时候。)”并结合全文内容可知，文章主要讲述了中国女篮赢得了世界杯银牌，恰逢中国的国庆节，给国庆献上了一份特别的礼物，使得这次比赛更令人印象深刻，因此推断D项“一份特别的国庆礼物。”为最佳标题。故选D。 C On a recent afternoon, dozens of elderly farmers were playing chess in a courtyard, a common scene at the Madongchuan Township Zhaotai Village Mutual Support Nursing Home in Yan’ an, a hilly part of Northwest China’s Shaanxi province. There are no caregivers in sight. Instead, the residents look after one another at the self-service nursing facility, which was rebuilt from a deserted primary school in Madongchuan township. The younger ones grow vegetables in a small path of land nearby. They cook outdoors using a shared kitchen, and the food is delivered to those with mobility issues. After meals, many play chess or chat at their leisure. Local authorities also hired a retired village doctor to oversee the facility so that the residents no longer have to go to the hospital for less severe health problems such as cold and fever. “They were enjoying themselves in the moment, and leading rather independent lives,” Zhao Liwen, secretary-general of Taikang Yicai Foundation, said of her first impression about the residents during a visit in 2019. The Beijing- based charity offered help by donating 1 million yuan to the nursing home. When she arrived, the seniors, all empty-nesters who are either childless or have children working in big cities, were wrapping dumplings together. The scene was a sharp contrast from life in the area more than a decade ago. Village elders used to live lonely lives, scattered (分散) among the remote area and unable to access hospitals and other public services. Then in 2013, a flood washed their homes away, forcing them to move into the nursing facility. The nursing home in Yan’ an is one of the best examples of China’s increasing efforts to take advantage of the strength of “relationship - based communities” in rural (乡村的) areas to ensure fast-graying residents are cared for. Compared with a more commercial or rule-based society in cities, rural communities in China are known to operate through personal connections and mutual trust. The self-sufficient, interdependent culture displayed by the nursing home is being supported by authorities to deal with aging in the countryside. 8. What do the elderly residents do in the nursing facility? A. They use their separate kitchens. B. They enjoy their leisure activities. C. They share advanced medical services. D. They employ caregivers to look after them. 9. What approach does the nursing home in Yan’ an take to deal with the rural aging? A. Following strict regulations. B. Developing mutual cooperation. C. Conducting commercial strategies. D. Promoting individual independence. 10. What is the author’s attitude to the self- service nursing home? A. Objective. B. Indifferent. C. Favorable. D. Disapproving. 11. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. Rural Revival: China’s Approach to Aging Population B. Promoting traditional values: A Tale of Aging in Rural China C. Bridging Generation Gaps: The Story of Yan’ an’s Nursing Home D. Relationship - Based Community: A Nursing Home in Rural China 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了延安一个自助养老院的故事，展示了农村互助养老模式。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“After meals, many play chess or chat at their leisure. (饭后，许多人在闲暇时下棋或聊天)”可知，护理机构中的老年人享受他们的休闲活动，故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“There are no caregivers in sight. Instead, the residents look after one another at the self - service nursing facility, which was rebuilt from a deserted primary school in Madongchuan township. (这里看不到护理人员。相反，在这个由马东川乡一所废弃的小学改建而成的自助养老院里，老人们互相照顾彼此)”最后一段“Compared with a more commercial or rule - based society in cities, rural communities in China are known to operate through personal connections and mutual trust. (与城市中更加商业化或以规则为基础的社会相比，中国的农村社区通过个人关系和相互信任来运作)”可知，延安敬老院发展互助合作应对农村老龄化，故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The nursing home in Yan’ an is one of the best examples of China’s increasing efforts to take advantage of the strength of “relationship - based communities” in rural(乡村的) areas to ensure fast-graying residents are cared for. (延安的养老院是中国不断努力利用农村地区“关系型社区”的优势来确保快速老龄化居民得到照顾的最好例子之一)”可知，作者对自助式养老院的态度是支持的，故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文及最后一段中“Compared with a more commercial or rule-based society in cities, rural communities in China are known to operate through personal connections and mutual trust. The self-sufficient, interdependent culture displayed by the nursing home is being supported by authorities to deal with aging in the countryside.(与城市中更商业化或规则化的社会相比，中国的农村社区以个人关系和相互信任为基础运作。养老院展示的自给自足、相互依赖的文化得到了当局的支持，以应对农村的老龄化问题)”可知，文章围绕延安农村基于关系型社区的养老院展开，详细描述了其中老人们的生活以及这种社区关系的作用，D项“Relationship - Based Community: A Nursing Home in Rural China (关系型社区：中国农村的一家养老院)”最能概括全文，故选D项。 D Researchers have discovered that limiting a certain enzyme (酶) can have a dramatic impact in protecting against the effects of Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔兹海默症). The finding could lead to a new class of drugs that fight the disease. Much of the historical research into Alzheimer’s disease(AD) has focused on plaques (斑块) that form in the brain, which recently, though, have been found not likely to be the direct cause of it. In seeking another way forward, a group of British researchers turned to an Australian study which showed having the gene for the production of an enzyme known as PDE4B was identified as a risk factor for developing Alzheimer’s. With the intention of investigating how PDE4B might affect the brain, the UK team genetically modified (改造) mice with Alzheimer’s to reduce PDE4B activity. The results are astonishing. First, the mice with Alzheimer’s and normal PDE4B expression showed memory loss in the sense of direction, a distinctive characteristic of AD. But those who had the genetic modification to have less PDE4B activity showed no damage at all. The team also observed that inflammation (炎症), another hallmark of AD, decreased to some extent in the brains of mice with less PDE4B activity, compared to those with more of the enzyme. Because all of these effects were found in the mice that already had Alzheimer’s but had significant improvement in symptoms, the researchers say that further investigation into how to limit PDE4B in human patients with the condition could lead to new treatment pathways. “These results offer real hope for the development of new treatments that will benefit patients with Alzheimer’s disease in the future,” said Neil Dawson, a co- author of the study. “The next stage is to test whetherPDE4B- limiting drugs have similar beneficial effects in the AD mouse model, to test their potential effectiveness in human Alzheimer’s disease.” 12. How did the British researchers get the inspiration? A. By figuring out the direct cause of AD. B. By going over much historical research. C. By referring to a previous Australian study. D. By breaking down PDE4B in the AD mouse. 13. What can be learnt about PDE4B? A. Its activity promotes the sense of direction. B. It might bring about the development of AD. C. It is processed by a certain enzyme in the brain. D. It will be investigated to reduce mice brain activity. 14. What does the underlined word “hallmark” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Cause. B. Feature. C. Principle. D. Finding. 15. What do the last two paragraphs mainly talk about? A. The future research focus. B. The existing research background. C. The probable research limitation. D. The practical research application. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了限制PDE4B酶对阿尔兹海默症的影响及其研究前景。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“a group of British researchers turned to an Australian study which showed having the gene for the production of an enzyme known as PDE4B was identified as a risk factor for developing Alzheimer’s (一组英国研究人员参考了一项澳大利亚研究，该研究表明，拥有生产一种名为PDE4B的酶的基因被确定为患阿尔兹海默症的风险因素。)”可知，英国研究人员是通过参考之前的澳大利亚研究获得灵感的。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“a group of British researchers turned to an Australian study which showed having the gene for the production of an enzyme known as PDE4B was identified as a risk factor for developing Alzheimer’s (一组英国研究人员参考了一项澳大利亚研究，该研究表明，拥有生产一种名为PDE4B的酶的基因被确定为患阿尔兹海默症的风险因素。)”可知，PDE4B可能会导致阿尔兹海默症的发展。故选B。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第四段中的“a distinctive characteristic of AD.(阿尔兹海默症一个显著特征)”“The team also observed that inflammation (炎症), another hallmark of AD (研究团队还观察到，炎症——阿尔兹海默症的另一个标志)”可知，hallmark意为“特征”。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“the researchers say that further investigation into how to limit PDE4B in human patients with the condition could lead to new treatment pathways. (研究人员表示，进一步研究如何在患有这种疾病的人类患者中限制PDE4B的活性可能会开辟新的治疗途径。)”可知，文章最后两段内容主要讲述了未来的研究重点。故选A。 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。 Stop Comparing Yourself to Others Theodore Roosevelt once said, “Comparison is the thief of joy.” But how can we stop playing the comparison game? Here are my tips. ___16___ Besides social media, are there any other situations that cause you to play the comparison game? Is there a certain person who is constantly showing off about this or that? Are there certain activities, like strolling (漫步) through a high-end shopping mall, that make you envious?___17___ Write how each negatively affects you. Try to stop yourself next time. ● Remind yourself that other people’s “outsides” can’t be compared to your “insides.” Usually, you can’t use their outward appearance to judge the reality of their life.___18___ You may have had the experience of being shocked when a couple that appeared to be happy and solid announce their divorce. Continue to wish others well, of course, but remind yourself that you don’t actually know what goes on behind closed doors. ● Repeat whenever necessary: “Money doesn’t buy happiness.” It’s well established that wealth isn’t associated with increased happiness. I used to dance flamenco at a fancy resort where very rich people go, and a manager there once told me she’d never seen so many unhappy people in her life. ___19___ Their inability to provide lasting contentment is usually more disappointing than anything else. ● Be grateful for the good in your life. If you commit yourself to being deeply grateful for what’s good in your life and remind yourself of it daily, you’ll be far less defenseless to comparison and envy. If someone or something triggers (引发) that ugly feeling of negative comparison, stop and remind yourself of what’s good in your life, right now. ___20___ A. There is so much. B. Identify the causes and control your envy. C. Use comparison to make yourself a better person. D. Money and things provide temporary boosts of joy. E. Make a list of who and what you frequently compare yourself to. F. Being envious of another person’s money may be a waste of time. G. People carefully select and share the social media versions of their lives. 【答案】16. B 17. E 18. G 19. D 20. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要就如何停止和他人攀比提出了一些建议。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Besides social media, are there any other situations that cause you to play the comparison game? Is there a certain person who is constantly showing off about this or that? Are there certain activities, like strolling (漫步) through a high-end shopping mall, that make you envious?(除了社交媒体，还有其他情况会让你玩比较游戏吗？是否有某个人总是在炫耀这个或那个？是否有某些活动，比如在高档购物中心漫步，会让你嫉妒？)”可知，后文列举的问题主要是在反思嫉妒和原因。故B选项“找出原因并控制你的嫉妒”符合语境，故选B。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Besides social media, are there any other situations that cause you to play the comparison game? Is there a certain person who is constantly showing off about this or that? Are there certain activities, like strolling (漫步) through a high-end shopping mall, that make you envious?(除了社交媒体，还有其他情况会让你玩比较游戏吗？是否有某个人总是在炫耀这个或那个？是否有某些活动，比如在高档购物中心漫步，会让你嫉妒？)”以及后文“Write how each negatively affects you. Try to stop yourself next time.(写下每件事对你的负面影响。下次试着阻止自己)”可知，上文列举了一些比较的情况，后文提到写下每件事，可知是把自己与之比较的人和事情写下来。故E选项“列出你经常与之比较的人和事”符合语境，故选E。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Usually, you can’t use their outward appearance to judge the reality of their life.(通常，你不能用他们的外表来判断他们的真实生活)”以及后文“You may have had the experience of being shocked when a couple that appeared to be happy and solid announce their divorce. Continue to wish others well, of course, but remind yourself that you don’t actually know what goes on behind closed doors.(你可能有过这样的经历：当一对看起来很幸福、很稳定的夫妇宣布离婚时，你会感到震惊。当然，继续祝福别人，但要提醒自己，你实际上并不知道关起门来发生了什么)”可知，后文给出的经历表明人们的外在无法代表内在，因为展示的都是他们想要人们看到的。故G选项“人们仔细选择并分享他们生活的社交媒体版本”符合语境，故选G。 【19题详解】 根据上文“It’s well established that wealth isn’t associated with increased happiness. I used to dance flamenco at a fancy resort where very rich people go, and a manager there once told me she’d never seen so many unhappy people in her life.(众所周知，财富与幸福感的增加无关。我曾经在一个非常有钱的人去的豪华度假胜地跳弗拉门戈舞，那里的一位经理曾经告诉我，她一生中从未见过这么多不快乐的人)”以及后文“Their inability to provide lasting contentment is usually more disappointing than anything else.(他们无法提供持久的满足通常比其他任何事情都更令人失望)”可知，上文提到财富与幸福感增加无关，后文Their指代D选项Money and things。故D选项“金钱和物质提供暂时的快乐”符合语境，故选D。 【20题详解】 根据上文“If you commit yourself to being deeply grateful for what’s good in your life and remind yourself of it daily, you’ll be far less defenseless to comparison and envy. If someone or something triggers (引发) that ugly feeling of negative comparison, stop and remind yourself of what’s good in your life, right now.( 如果你对生活中美好的事物深深感激，并每天提醒自己，你就不会对比较和嫉妒毫无防备。如果某人或某事引发了这种消极比较的丑陋感觉，马上停下来，提醒自己生活中什么是好的)”可知，上文提到了提醒自己生活中的好事，本句为本段最后一句，说明生活中的好事很多，不需要比较和嫉妒。故A选项“太多了”符合语境，故选A。 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。 On a Saturday afternoon, my friend Jenny and I wandered in the park and arrived at the section I had always feared: roller coasters.

To me, running was the worst thing in the world. Running was for athletes or people who liked to hurt themselves. Running was for anyone but me. “Come on, Mary,” my husband said. “No one can exercise for you! You must do it yourself to lose weight and be healthy!” I nodded, trying to wear the armband again and attach my phone to it. I needed the phone to listen to music to draw my attention from how much running would hurt. I also needed it so that I could hear the computer voice of my mile tracker (追踪器) telling me my physical condition with every passing mile. I wasn’t getting any younger. Pushing myself to the limit had never before crossed my mind. But the pounds weren’t exactly disappearing though I improved my eating habits and hoped for the best. The annoying weight was slowly creeping (慢慢移动) to my legs and backside. Actually, it was creeping everywhere. As my doctor put it, “It’s time to put some exercise into your schedule.” My only hope for fighting against heavy weight and age would be through exercise. So here I was about to start the very thing I disliked. “If you don’t hear from me in 30 minutes, come look for me. I could be lying on the side of the road. weak or dead,” I said to my husband. Without even looking at me, my husband said, “Mary, it really won’t be so bad. You just have to get started. Believe me! You’ll do great!” “Right,” I smiled as he continued preparing for his shift. Hesitating, I walked out alone. It was dark and cold outside. 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。 Gathering my courage, I fired up the music and my mile tracker. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Upon finishing a 25-minute run for the first time, I called my husband. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 Gathering my courage, I fired up the music and my mile tracker. I began to ran. My ears and nose felt painful in the freezing weather, and the upper parts of my legs pressed each other as I struggled to run forward slowly. I wanted to turn back. But I constantly told myself, “Just keep going for another ten seconds! You need to run for your health!” Within minutes, the air seemed less cold and I focused on the steady beat of the music, letting it carry me forward. Though each step was challenging, I felt myself gradually adapting to the exercise. Upon finishing a 25-minute run for the first time, I called my husband. I told him about my experience. He laughed and said, “As I told you, running actually isn’t that frightening.” I agreed. In the following days, I kept running and always encouraged myself before heading out. Gradually, I settled into a routine of running every day. As I ran farther and farther, I grew increasingly fond of the activity. Running has enhanced not just my physical health, but other aspects of my life as well. While starting may be the hardest step, it is also the gateway to achieving everything we want. 【解析】 【导语】本文以作者跑步为线索展开，讲述了作者因为肥胖而不得不开始跑步进行减肥，在一个又黑又冷的日子里，作者在丈夫的鼓励下，准备好了跑步需要的设备，自己一个人走出家门开始跑步的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我鼓足勇气，打开音乐和里程追踪器。”可知，第一段可描写作者开始跑步的感受以及应对的措施。 ②由第二段首句内容“第一次跑完25分钟后，我给丈夫打了个电话。”可知，第二段可描写作者丈夫接到电话后如何鼓励作者的和作者接下来又是如何做的以及作者的感受。 2.续写线索：开始跑步——痛苦，挣扎——逐渐适应——打电话给丈夫——坚持跑步——带来的好处——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①返回：turn back/return/go back ②鼓励：encourage/inspire ③出发：head out/set out/start off/set off 情绪类 ①痛苦的：painful/bitter ②喜欢：fond of/be keen on 【点睛】[高分句型1] Within minutes, the air seemed less cold and I focused on the steady beat of the music, letting it carry me forward.（运用了现在分词短语作状语） [高分句型2] Though each step was challenging, I felt myself gradually adapting to the exercise.（运用though引导的让步状语从句） [高分句型3] Running has enhanced not just my physical health, but other aspects of my life as well.（运用了not just…but…连接并列宾语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 连云港市城头高级中学 2024—2025学年度第一学期高二英语第一次质量检测 本试卷共8页。全卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 注意事项： 1.答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在本试卷和答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应的答案标号涂黑，如有改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案；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Ⅰ卷（选择题） 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。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

The silver medals that the Chinese were left with still represented their country’s best finish in the global showpiece in 28 years. Not since 1994 – in a tournament (锦标赛) held, like this one, in Australia – had they won a medal of any colour. At the World Cup, China played a total of eight matches, winning six of them. They entered the final of a major international competition for the first time in almost three decades, before losing to defending champions the United States to finish runners-up for the second time in history. China’s performance at the tournament received much attention from Chinese people both at home and abroad, especially as the final fell on the country’s National Day. Chinese flags were waved and the national anthem (国歌) was sung in the stadium, giving people a feeling that the team was playing on their home court. Although losing the game, the team was met with praise and encouragement from Chinese netizens as people have walked away from a “medal-oriented” mentality, and started to accept more the spirit of sportsmanship and “perform your best” spirit. Many Chinese netizens said they were proud of the players for trying their best and fighting until the last minutes which showed the true sportsmanship. The mental strength and quality of the Chinese women’s basketball team are even more valuable than being the runner-up in the World Cup, they said. The Chinese women’s basketball team is already the champion in our hearts, commented an internet user. “We should admit the gap in the strength between the two teams. However, the women basketball players have presented an exciting game, playing good defense and never hesitating to attack. I am so proud of them, and it is special our National Day.” said one Weibo user. 4. What makes this final most impressive? A. Winning the six matches as a whole. B. Entering the final competition of all time. C. Meeting with our country’s National Day. D. Receiving much attention home and abroad. 5. How do Chinese netizens feel about China’s winning silver medals? A. Surprised and upset. B. Excited and inspired. C. Annoyed and grateful. D. Encouraged and curious. 6. Why do people feel that the team was playing on the home court? A. The team won the silver medals after 28 years. B. The match received amounts of attention globally. C. China’s women’s basketball team entered the final. D. Chinese flags and anthem sprang up in the stadium. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. Our country’s National Day. B. Our gratitude to the coach. C. The FIBA World Cup history. D. A special gift for the National Day. C On a recent afternoon, dozens of elderly farmers were playing chess in a courtyard, a common scene at the Madongchuan Township Zhaotai Village Mutual Support Nursing Home in Yan’ an, a hilly part of Northwest China’s Shaanxi province. There are no caregivers in sight. Instead, the residents look after one another at the self-service nursing facility, which was rebuilt from a deserted primary school in Madongchuan township. The younger ones grow vegetables in a small path of land nearby. They cook outdoors using a shared kitchen, and the food is delivered to those with mobility issues. After meals, many play chess or chat at their leisure. Local authorities also hired a retired village doctor to oversee the facility so that the residents no longer have to go to the hospital for less severe health problems such as cold and fever. “They were enjoying themselves in the moment, and leading rather independent lives,” Zhao Liwen, secretary-general of Taikang Yicai Foundation, said of her first impression about the residents during a visit in 2019. The Beijing- based charity offered help by donating 1 million yuan to the nursing home. When she arrived, the seniors, all empty-nesters who are either childless or have children working in big cities, were wrapping dumplings together. The scene was a sharp contrast from life in the area more than a decade ago. Village elders used to live lonely lives, scattered (分散) among the remote area and unable to access hospitals and other public services. Then in 2013, a flood washed their homes away, forcing them to move into the nursing facility. The nursing home in Yan’ an is one of the best examples of China’s increasing efforts to take advantage of the strength of “relationship - based communities” in rural (乡村的) areas to ensure fast-graying residents are cared for. Compared with a more commercial or rule-based society in cities, rural communities in China are known to operate through personal connections and mutual trust. The self-sufficient, interdependent culture displayed by the nursing home is being supported by authorities to deal with aging in the countryside. 8. What do the elderly residents do in the nursing facility? A. They use their separate kitchens. B. They enjoy their leisure activities. C. They share advanced medical services. D. They employ caregivers to look after them. 9. What approach does the nursing home in Yan’ an take to deal with the rural aging? A. Following strict regulations. B. Developing mutual cooperation. C.

Bridging Generation Gaps: The Story of Yan’ an’s Nursing Home D. Relationship - Based Community: A Nursing Home in Rural China D Researchers have discovered that limiting a certain enzyme (酶) can have a dramatic impact in protecting against the effects of Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔兹海默症). The finding could lead to a new class of drugs that fight the disease. Much of the historical research into Alzheimer’s disease(AD) has focused on plaques (斑块) that form in the brain, which recently, though, have been found not likely to be the direct cause of it. In seeking another way forward, a group of British researchers turned to an Australian study which showed having the gene for the production of an enzyme known as PDE4B was identified as a risk factor for developing Alzheimer’s. With the intention of investigating how PDE4B might affect the brain, the UK team genetically modified (改造) mice with Alzheimer’s to reduce PDE4B activity. The results are astonishing. First, the mice with Alzheimer’s and normal PDE4B expression showed memory loss in the sense of direction, a distinctive characteristic of AD. But those who had the genetic modification to have less PDE4B activity showed no damage at all. The team also observed that inflammation (炎症), another hallmark of AD, decreased to some extent in the brains of mice with less PDE4B activity, compared to those with more of the enzyme. Because all of these effects were found in the mice that already had Alzheimer’s but had significant improvement in symptoms, the researchers say that further investigation into how to limit PDE4B in human patients with the condition could lead to new treatment pathways. “These results offer real hope for the development of new treatments that will benefit patients with Alzheimer’s disease in the future,” said Neil Dawson, a co- author of the study. “The next stage is to test whetherPDE4B- limiting drugs have similar beneficial effects in the AD mouse model, to test their potential effectiveness in human Alzheimer’s disease.” 12. How did the British researchers get the inspiration? A. By figuring out the direct cause of AD. B. By going over much historical research. C. By referring to a previous Australian study. D. By breaking down PDE4B in the AD mouse. 13. What can be learnt about PDE4B? A. Its activity promotes the sense of direction. B. It might bring about the development of AD. C. It is processed by a certain enzyme in the brain. D. It will be investigated to reduce mice brain activity. 14. What does the underlined word “hallmark” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Cause. B. Feature. C. Principle. D. Finding. 15. What do the last two paragraphs mainly talk about? A. The future research focus. B. The existing research background. C. The probable research limitation. D. The practical research application. 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。 Stop Comparing Yourself to Others Theodore Roosevelt once said, “Comparison is the thief of joy.” But how can we stop playing the comparison game? Here are my tips. ___16___ Besides social media, are there any other situations that cause you to play the comparison game? Is there a certain person who is constantly showing off about this or that? Are there certain activities, like strolling (漫步) through a high-end shopping mall, that make you envious?___17___ Write how each negatively affects you. Try to stop yourself next time. ● Remind yourself that other people’s “outsides” can’t be compared to your “insides.” Usually, you can’t use their outward appearance to judge the reality of their life.___18___ You may have had the experience of being shocked when a couple that appeared to be happy and solid announce their divorce. Continue to wish others well, of course, but remind yourself that you don’t actually know what goes on behind closed doors. ● Repeat whenever necessary: “Money doesn’t buy happiness.” It’s well established that wealth isn’t associated with increased happiness. I used to dance flamenco at a fancy resort where very rich people go, and a manager there once told me she’d never seen so many unhappy people in her life. ___19___ Their inability to provide lasting contentment is usually more disappointing than anything else. ● Be grateful for the good in your life. If you commit yourself to being deeply grateful for what’s good in your life and remind yourself of it daily, you’ll be far less defenseless to comparison and envy.

Identify the causes and control your envy. C. Use comparison to make yourself a better person. D. Money and things provide temporary boosts of joy. E.

To me, running was the worst thing in the world. Running was for athletes or people who liked to hurt themselves. Running was for anyone but me. “Come on, Mary,” my husband said. “No one can exercise for you! You must do it yourself to lose weight and be healthy!” I nodded, trying to wear the armband again and attach my phone to it. I needed the phone to listen to music to draw my attention from how much running would hurt. I also needed it so that I could hear the computer voice of my mile tracker (追踪器) telling me my physical condition with every passing mile. I wasn’t getting any younger. Pushing myself to the limit had never before crossed my mind. But the pounds weren’t exactly disappearing though I improved my eating habits and hoped for the best. The annoying weight was slowly creeping (慢慢移动) to my legs and backside. Actually, it was creeping everywhere. As my doctor put it, “It’s time to put some exercise into your schedule.” My only hope for fighting against heavy weight and age would be through exercise. So here I was about to start the very thing I disliked. “If you don’t hear from me in 30 minutes, come look for me. I could be lying on the side of the road. weak or dead,” I said to my husband. Without even looking at me, my husband said, “Mary, it really won’t be so bad. You just have to get started. Believe me! You’ll do great!” “Right,” I smiled as he continued preparing for his shift. Hesitating, I walked out alone. It was dark and cold outside. 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。 Gathering my courage, I fired up the music and my mile tracker. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Upon finishing a 25-minute run for the first time, I called my husband. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
