Here are some curiosities from around the world. Easter Egg Hunting in England Among the most original rituals, the English Easter Egg Hunt deserves a place of honour. On Easter Sunday, children go hunting for eggs in parks and gardens, surrounded by people dressed up as Easter bunnies: only those who find the eggs hidden by family members will receive the surprise brought by the Easter Bunny. Easter Egg Roll at the White House In the United States, the annual White House Easter Egg Roll was born for the first time on April 22, 1878. A game that consists in letting the eggs slide on the grass for as long as possible without breaking them, where it’s possible to come across well-known personalities in the role of the Easter bunny. Colourful Confetti (五彩纸屑) in Mexico In Central America, a cheerful and unusual ritual: los cascarones. That is egg shells (壳) emptied out and filled with coloured confetti. Tissue paper sheets are used to hold the egg together, but not to worry if the result is not accurate. No one complains: this seems to be a custom brought by Marco Polo from China, where the shells were filled with spices (香料). The Giant Omelette in France Easter is associated with “abundance”, and the French prepare a giant omelette with over 4,500 eggs in Haux. Legend has it that Napoleon started this tradition after falling in love with the omelette in the town. It is served in the city’s main square and can feed over a thousand people. 1. What do the first two traditions have in common? A. They feature some animals. B. They need family members. C. They involve outdoor activities. D. They focus on children’s activities. 2. What is special about Colourful confetti in Mexico? A. Eggs are put in parks and gardens. B. Egg shells are full of various spices. C. It is possible to meet famous people. D. The tradition may have its origins in China. 3. Which of the traditions involves making food with thousands of eggs? A. Colourful Confetti in Mexico B. The Giant Omelette in France C. Easter Egg Hunting in England D. Easter Egg Roll at the White House 【答案】1. C 2. D 3. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了世界各地围绕复活节彩蛋的传统习俗。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Easter Egg Hunting in England部分中“On Easter Sunday, children go hunting for eggs in parks and gardens(在复活节的星期天，孩子们去公园和花园寻找鸡蛋)”和Easter Egg Roll at the White House部分中“A game that consists in letting the eggs slide on the grass for as long as possible without breaking them(一种让鸡蛋在草地上尽可能长时间地滚动而不打碎它们的游戏)”可知，前两个传统的共同点在于都涉及户外活动。故选C项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Colourful Confetti (五彩纸屑) in Mexico部分中“No one complains: this seems to be a custom brought by Marco Polo from China, where the shells were filled with spices (香料).(没有人抱怨：这似乎是马可·波罗从中国带来的习俗，贝壳里装满了香料)”可知，墨西哥五彩纸屑的特别之处在于这一传统可能源于中国。故选D项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Giant Omelette in France部分中“Easter is associated with “abundance”, and the French prepare a giant omelette with over 4,500 eggs in Haux.(复活节与“丰盛”联系在一起，法国人会在Haux准备一个包含4500多个鸡蛋的巨型煎蛋卷)”和“It is served in the city’s main square and can feed over a thousand people.(它在城市的主要广场供应，可以供1000多人食用)”可知，法国的巨型煎蛋传统会用几千个鸡蛋做食物。故选B项。 B Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, born in 1977 in Enugu, Nigeria, is a famous writer and thinker known for her powerful storytelling and clear ideas on social issues. She grew up in Nsukka, a university town, where her parents worked as professors. Encouraged by her family’s love for books and learning, Adichie started writing stories as a child. She read novels by both African and Western writers, but she often noticed that Western books gave an incorrect picture of African life. This early understanding encouraged her to write stories that showed a more real image of her culture. Adichie moved to the United States for college, where she studied communication, political science, and creative writing. Her experience in the U. S. influenced her works deeply, as she observed cultural misunderstandings and stereotypes (刻板印象) about Africa. She used these observations to shape her unique writing style, mixing her Nigerian roots with her international outlook. Her first novel, Purple Hibiscus (2003), follows a Nigerian family dealing with personal and societal struggles. It received international praise and established Adichie as a rising star. Her second novel, Half of a Yellow Sun (2006), explores the Biafran War and its influence on ordinary people, while her third, Americanah (2013), examines themes of self-discovery, race, and migration (移民) through the story of a Nigerian woman living in the U. S. These works not only earned her countless awards but also challenged stereotypes about African life, offering a rich and detailed view of her homeland. Adichie is also a supporter of gender (性别) equality. Her TED Talk, We Should All Be Feminists, became a big success and was even adapted into a book. Today, she continues to write and speak on topics like culture and self-discovery, using her voice to connect people and promote understanding across different communities. 4. Why did Adichie take up writing? A. She was influenced by her parents. B. She was interested in Western novels. C. She was educated in the United States. D. She was determined to introduce her culture. 5. How did Adichie’s time in the U. S. affect her? A. She became more focused on politics. B. She began to question her Nigerian roots. C. She developed her personal way of writing. D. She started writing about American history. 6. Adichie’s three novels mentioned in paragraph 3 show ________. A. the value of self-discovery B. the real image of African life C. some social issues in Enugu D. women’s role in a Nigerian family 7. What is the text mainly about? A. Adichie’s cultural understanding. B. Adichie’s opinion on gender equality. C. Adichie’s writing journey and social influence. D. Adichie’s contribution to Nigerian literature and history. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇人物传记。文章主要介绍了尼日利亚著名作家和思想家Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie的成长经历、文学创作、思想观点以及她对性别平等的支持。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“She grew up in Nsukka, a university town, where her parents worked as professors. Encouraged by her family’s love for books and learning, Adichie started writing stories as a child.(她在大学小镇恩苏卡长大，她的父母在那里担任教授。在家人对书籍和学习的热爱的鼓励下，Adichie从小就开始写故事。)”可知，Adichie在父母的影响下从小就写故事。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Her experience in the U. S. influenced her works deeply, as she observed cultural misunderstandings and stereotypes(刻板印象) about Africa. She used these observations to shape her unique writing style, mixing her Nigerian roots with her international outlook.(她在美国的经历深刻地影响了她的作品，因为她目睹了人们对非洲存在的文化误解和刻板印象。她利用这些观察所得，塑造了自己独特的写作风格，将她的尼日利亚根源与国际化视野融合在一起。)”可知，她在美国的经历让她塑造了独特的写作风格。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“These works not only earned her countless awards but also challenged stereotypes about African life, offering a rich and detailed view of her homeland.(这些作品不仅为她赢得了无数奖项，还挑战了人们对非洲生活的刻板印象，为人们呈现了关于她祖国丰富而详尽的图景。)”以及三部小说的内容可知，三部小说分别从家庭挣扎、战争对普通人的影响以及移民等方面，挑战了人们对非洲生活的刻板印象，展现了她祖国丰富而详尽的图景，所以这三部小说体现了非洲生活的真实面貌。故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，文章开篇介绍了Adichie的出生背景以及她从小受家庭影响开始写作，因看到西方书籍对非洲生活描绘的错误而决心展现真实的非洲文化，这是她写作的起因。接着讲述她在美国的学习经历对其写作风格的影响，她形成了独特的写作风格，将尼日利亚根源与国际视野相融合。然后列举了她的三部重要小说，阐述这些作品挑战了对非洲生活的刻板印象，展现了非洲生活的真实面貌，还为她赢得了无数奖项。最后提到她是性别平等的倡导者，其TED演讲大获成功，并且她继续写作和演讲，促进不同群体之间的理解。选项C“Adichie’s writing journey and social influence(Adichie的写作历程和社会影响力)”全面地概括了文章内容，包括她的写作起因、风格形成、作品成就以及在社会倡导方面的影响力。故选C。 C What’s the first thing that pops into your mind when you think of wheat straw? Most people would probably just see it as a pile of waste in a farmer’s field. However, Wu Cui, an intangible cultural inheritor, can turn the straw left over from harvested wheat into beautiful and eye-catching functional artworks. The earliest straw-weaving(草编的)products were discovered at Hemudu Cultural Ruins, a Neolithic cultural site located in eastern China’s Zhejiang province. The Book of Rites, one of the classical works of Confucianism, also records that there were already mats made of cattail grass and professional straw-weaving craftsmen during the Zhou Dynasty(c.11th century-256 BC). Straw weaving is a method of making daily items or artworks. It was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage in 2008. Wu explains the process of straw weaving: selection of materials is the first step of a complicated, time consuming and labor-intensive process that can take weeks, or even months, to complete. You need to sketch(索描)the piece on paper, which requires drawing skills. Next comes weaving, shaping and preserving of the work. Even by finishing that process, it does not mean that you will always create a good piece of work, and the hardest part is to make it lifelike. In the past, woven straw items could be found almost in every household in the countryside, such as straw hats and straw shoes, because they were practical in everyday life. But due to the impact of industrialization, manufactured goods have replaced such products, which cause low profits, and there are only about 100 individuals engaging in the work across the country. “The world has changed, and craftsmen need to transcend(超越)practicality and pursue the beauty and artistry of straw culture to help the craft survive and thrive(茁壮成长),” Wu says. From her perspective, straw weaving should respond to people’s needs and preferences, while still drawing inspiration from traditional culture, “Craftspeople should make a great effort to grasp the trends and opportunities of the times to create new and relevant products,” she says. When asked about her plans, Wu says she wants to dig deeper into local traditional culture and create cultural creative products by developing the straw-weaving technique. 8. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about straw-weaving products? A. Their historic origins. B. Their cultural value. C. Their major uses. D. Their producing process. 9. Which is the most difficult part for straw-weaving craftsmen according to Wu Cui? A. Selecting suitable materials. B. Drawing sketches on paper. C. Making the artworks vivid. D. Preserving finished products. 10. What can we learn from Wu Cui’s opinion according to the last paragraph? A. Craftsmen should bring forth new ideas in the crafts based on traditional culture B. Pursuing fashion should be the first preference for eraftspeople. C. Local people benefit a lot from the straw—weaving techniques. D. Straw-weaving products are out of favor with customers. 11. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To explain the process of straw weaving. B. To present the future of a traditional culture. C. To introduce a way to pursue the beauty and artistry. D. To propose a new means of crafting. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了草编的起源、编织过程、现状以及未来发展的方向。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“The earliest straw-weaving (草编的) products were discovered at Hemudu Cultural Ruins, a Neolithic cultural site located in eastern China’s Zhejiang province. The Book of Rites, one of the classical works of Confucianism, also records that there were already mats made of cattail grass and professional straw-weaving craftsmen during the Zhou Dynasty (c.11th century-256 BC).(最早的草编产品是在河姆渡文化遗址发现的，河姆渡文化遗址是位于中国东部浙江省的新石器时代文化遗址。儒家经典著作之一的《礼记》也记载，在周朝(公元前11世纪-公元前256年)，就已经有了用香蒲制作的席子和专业的稻草编织工匠)”可知，草编历史悠久，可以追溯到新石器时代，周代有了专业的草编工匠。由此可知，本段主要介绍了草编产品的历史源头。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Even by finishing that process, it does not mean that you will always create a good piece of work, and the hardest part is to make it vivid.(即使完成了这个过程，也并不意味着你总是能创造出一件好的作品，最难的部分是让它生动起来)”可知，吴翠认为草编技艺最难的地方在于让作品栩栩如生。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“From her perspective, straw weaving should respond to people’s needs and preferences, while still drawing inspiration from traditional culture, “Craftspeople should make a great effort to grasp the trends and opportunities of the times to create new and relevant products,” she says.(在她看来，草编应该回应人们的需求和偏好，同时仍然从传统文化中汲取灵感，“工匠应该努力把握时代的趋势和机遇，创造新的和相关的产品，”她说)”可知，手工艺人应该在传统文化的基础上对手工艺进行创新。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“What’s the first thing that pops into your mind when you think of wheat straw? Most people would probably just see it as a pile of waste in a farmer’s field. However, Wu Cui, an intangible cultural inheritor, can turn the straw left over from harvested wheat into beautiful and eye-catching functional artworks.(当你想到麦草的时候，你脑海中首先出现的是什么？大多数人可能只会把它看作是农民田地里的一堆废物。然而，非物质文化传承人吴翠却能将麦穗收割后剩下的稻草变成美丽而醒目的功能性艺术品)”以及最后一段“When asked about her plans, Wu says she wants to dig deeper into local traditional culture and create cultural creative products by developing the straw-weaving technique.(当被问及她的计划时，吴说她想深入挖掘当地的传统文化，通过发展稻草编织技术来创造文化创意产品)”结合文章介绍了草编的起源、编织过程、现状以及未来发展的方向。可推知，文章的主要目的是展示传统文化的未来。故选B。 D You have probably heard of the Mozart effect. It’s the idea that if children or even babies listen to music composed of Mozart, they will become more intelligent. A quick Internet search shows plenty of products to assist you in the task. Whatever your age, there are CDs and books to help you taste the power of Mozart’s music, but when it comes to scientific evidence that it can make you more clever, the picture is more mixed. The phrase “the Mozart effect” was made up in 1991, but it was a study described two years later in the journal Nature that aroused real media and public interest about the idea that listening to classical music somehow improves the brain. It is one of those ideas that sound reasonable. Mozart was no doubt a genius himself; his music is complex and there is a hope that if we listen to enough of it, we’ll become more intelligent. The idea took off, with thousands of parents playing Mozart to their children, and in 1998 Zell Miller, the Governor of the state of Georgia in the USA, even asked for money to be set aside in the state budget so that every newborn baby could be sent a CD of classical music. It was not just babies and children who were exposed to (接触) Mozart’s music on purpose, even an Italian farmer proudly explained that the cows were played Mozart three times a day to help them to produce better milk. I’ll leave the debate on the effect on milk production to farmers, but what about the evidence that listening to Mozart makes people more intelligent? More research was carried out but an analysis of 16 different studies confirmed that listening to music does lead to a temporary (临时的) improvement in the ability to handle shapes mentally, but the benefits are short-lived and it doesn’t make us more intelligent. 12. What can we learn from Paragraph 1? A. Mozart composed many musical pieces for children. B. Children listening to Mozart will be more intelligent. C. There are few products on the Internet about Mozart’s music. D. There is little scientific evidence to support the Mozart effect. 13. The underlined phrase in Paragraph 3 suggests that ________. A. People were strongly against the idea. B. the idea was accepted by many people. C. Mozart played an important part in people’s life. D. the US government helped promote the idea. 14. What’s the author’s attitude towards the Mozart effect? A. Supportive. B. Objective. C. Doubtful. D. Positive. 15. What is the best title for the passage? A. Listening to Mozart, necessary? B. What music is beneficial? C. What is the Mozart effect? D. To be or not to be? 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。听莫扎特的音乐可以让我们更聪明吗？本文主要探讨了这个问题。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段的句子“Whatever your age, there are CDs and books to help you taste the power of Mozart’s music, but when it comes to scientific evidence that it can make you more clever, the picture is more mixed.（无论你的年龄多大，都有CD和书籍帮助你感受莫扎特音乐的力量，但当涉及到它能让你更聪明的科学证据时，情况就复杂多了）”推知，几乎没有科学证据支持莫扎特效应。故选D项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线短语后面的部分“with thousands of parents playing Mozart to their children, and in 1998 Zell Miller, the Governor of the state of Georgia in the USA, even asked for money to be set aside in the state budget so that every newborn baby could be sent a CD of classical music.（成千上万的父母为他们的孩子播放莫扎特音乐，1998年，美国佐治亚州州长泽尔·米勒甚至要求在州预算中拨出一笔钱，这样每个新生儿都能收到一张古典音乐的CD ）”可知，这种想法一定很流行，才会有成千上万的父母为他们的孩子播放莫扎特音乐的现象，所以划线短语took off的意义为“突然成功或流行起来”。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“I’ll leave the debate on the effect on milk production to farmers, but what about the evidence that listening to Mozart makes people more intelligent?More research was carried out but an analysis of 16 different studies confirmed that listening to music does lead to a temporary (临时的) improvement in the ability to handle shapes mentally, but the benefits are short-lived and it doesn’t make us more intelligent.（我将把关于牛奶生产影响的辩论留给农民，但证明听莫扎特的音乐会让人更聪明的证据呢？虽然进行了更多的研究，但对16项不同研究的分析证实，听音乐确实会暂时提高我们在心理上处理形状的能力，但这种好处是短暂的，不会让我们变得更聪明）”推知，作者对莫扎特效应持持怀疑的态度。故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，并根据第一段的“You have probably heard of the Mozart effect. It’s the idea that if children or even babies listen to music composed of Mozart, they will become more intelligent.(你可能听说过莫扎特效应。这是一种想法——如果孩子甚至婴儿听莫扎特的音乐，他们会变得更聪明。)”和最后一段“More research was carried out but an analysis of 16 different studies confirmed that listening to music does lead to a temporary (临时的) improvement in the ability to handle shapes mentally, but the benefits are short-lived and it doesn’t make us more intelligent.（虽然进行了更多的研究，但对16项不同研究的分析证实，听音乐确实会暂时提高我们在心理上处理形状的能力，但这种好处是短暂的，不会让我们变得更聪明）”可知，文章主要讨论了听莫扎特的音乐究竟会不会让人变得更聪明。所以A项“Listening to Mozart, necessary?”作为本文的题目与文章主题相符合。故选A项。 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Regret is a very real reaction to a disappointing event in your life, a choice you made that can’t be changed, something you said that you can’t take back. ____16____ Regret can increase our stress, negatively affect physical health and disturb the balance of our immune systems. ____17____ One is what researchers refer to as the action path and the other is the inaction path. That is, we can regret the things we did or we can regret the things we did not do. Research suggests that action-related regret, although painful, encourages people to learn from their mistakes and move on. ____18____ This kind of regret is more likely to lead to depression and anxiety. As with other negative emotions, it doesn’t work to avoid, deny or try to destroy regret. ____19____ Rather than stay put, people can manage these emotions in four steps: First, accept the fact that you are feeling them; determine why you are feeling them; allow yourself to learn from them: and, finally, release them and move forward. You can help release these feelings of regret by practicing self-compassion (自我同情).This means reminding yourself that you are human, you are doing the best you can and you can learn from past decisions and grow. ____20____ Noticing, acknowledging and then forgiving your thoughts are a powerful step towards overcoming regret. A. Dealing with regret is even more difficult. B. Regret is not only unpleasant, but also unhealthy. C. There are basically two ways to experience regret. D. But regret related to the inaction path is harder to fix. E. Seeing the situation in a different way may help reduce regret. F. In the long run, these strategies only increase negative feelings. G. Showing this compassion to yourself can help you accept and move past the regret. 【答案】16. B 17. C 18. D 19. E 20. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章通过讲述后悔是会给人们带来心理上和身体上的消极影响的，进而提出了化解或消除后悔的策略。 【16题详解】 根据前文“Regret is a very real reaction to a disappointing event in your life, a choice you made that can’t be changed, something you said that you can’t take back. ”（后悔是对人生中令人失望的事件的真实反应，是你做出的无法改变的选择，是你说过的无法收回的话。）说明了后悔的定义。后文“Regret can increase our stress, negatively affect physical health and disturb the balance of our immune systems.”（后悔会增加我们的压力，对身体健康产生负面影响，扰乱我们免疫系统的平衡。）说明后悔带给身心的负面影响。所以空处应总结说明后悔不但是不愉快的，同时也是不健康的。选项B.“后悔不仅是不愉快的，而且是不健康的。”，后文论述了后悔带来的不健康的影响，符合题意，故选B。 【17题详解】 根据后文“One is what researchers refer to as the action path and the other is the inaction path.”（一种是研究者称之为行动路径，另一种是不行动路径。）可知，空处应该总说有两种不同的方式。选项C.“后悔基本上有两种方式。”符合题意，故选C。 【18题详解】 根据前文“Research suggests that action-related regret, although painful, encourages people to learn from their mistakes and move on.”（研究表明，与行动相关的后悔虽然令人痛苦，却能鼓励人们从错误中吸取教训，继续前进。）讲述了研究者对后悔的方式之一：与行动相关的后悔，进行了分析。根据本段第二句可知，后悔有两种方式，一种是行动路径，另一种是不行动路径，所以空处应该是对比第一种方式，讲述不行动路劲的后悔。选项D.“但与不行动相关的遗憾更难弥补。”，切题，故选D。 【19题详解】 根据前文“As with other negative emotions, it doesn’t work to avoid, deny or try to destroy regret. ”（和其他负面情绪一样，回避、否认或试图消除后悔是不起作用的。）所以空处应承接前文，讲述我们应该换另一种方式来看待问题。选项E.“换个角度看问题可能有助于减少遗憾。”，承接前文，切题，故选E。 【20题详解】 根据前文“You can help release these feelings of regret by practicing self-compassion (自我同情).”（你可以通过练习自我同情来帮助释放这些后悔的感觉。）说明自我同情可以帮助释放后悔的感觉。所以空处应总结论述这样自我同情是可以带给自己好处的。选项G.“对自己表现出这种同情心可以帮助你接受并消除遗憾。”符合题意，故选G。 第三部分 语言运用（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） I’d been staying at home all week suffering from a severe case of flu.

The virtual choir ___37___ (become) a worldwide phenomenon since then.

Altogether, 2,292 young people from 80 countries joined in to sing Whitacre’s song “What If”. 【答案】36. performance 37. has become 38. which 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章主要讲述了2009 年惠特克受一段演唱视频启发创办虚拟合唱团，迅速风靡全球。之后他为联合国儿童基金会打造青年虚拟合唱团，多国青年共同献唱歌曲。 【36题详解】 考查名词。句意：受到启发，他邀请粉丝们录制视频，并将这些视频合编成一场演出。空格前有基数词one，此处需要填入名词；动词perform的名词形式为performance，意为 “表演、演出”，one performance 表示“一场演出”。 【37题详解】 考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：从那时起，虚拟唱诗班已经成为一种全球现象。句中时间标志词since then（从那以后）是现在完成时的典型标志，主语The virtual choir为单数，谓语用has become。 【38题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：惠特克接下来为联合国儿童基金会推出的“虚拟青年合唱团”于2014年7月23日在英国首次登上舞台。分析句子可知，设空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是the Virtual Youth choir for UNICEF（事物），关系词在从句中作主语，因此用which引导。 B 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 There are some famous caves called “Grotte de Niau” in the Pyrenees Mountains called Niaux in a small village. These caves contain paintings ___39___ (draw) between 12,000 to 30,000 years ago by some human ___40___ (being).

Later, he brought out Uncle Tom’s Children, a significant turning point in his career. 【答案】42. energetic 43. was published 44. struggling 45. an 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了理查德・赖特是具有开创意义的非裔美国作家，年少便展露文字天赋。移居芝加哥后，他虽历经贫困仍坚持阅读写作，《汤姆叔叔的孩子们》成为其创作生涯重要转折点。 【42题详解】 考查形容词。句意：赖特热爱阅读，充满活力，很早就展现出出色的文笔天赋。空格与形容词passionate并列，共同修饰名词reader，需填形容词形式；energy的形容词为energetic，意为“精力充沛的”。 【43题详解】 考查动词时态和语态。句意：16岁时，他的短篇小说被刊登在一份报纸上。时间状语为表示过去的“16 岁时”，主语a short story与publish 是被动关系，因此用一般过去时的被动语态was published。 【44题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：像许多在1929年至1933年的艰难时期挣扎的美国人一样，赖特经常处于极度贫困的状态。此处作后置定语修饰前面的American，二者是主动关系，表示“在艰难岁月中挣扎的美国人”，故用现在分词struggling。 【45题详解】 考查冠词。句意：相反，赖特继续读书和写作，梦想成为一名优秀的作家。此处泛指“一名优秀的作家”，excellent以元音音素开头，因此用不定冠词an。 第三节 课内句子翻译（共12小空；每小题0.5分，满分6分） 46. The capital city London is a great place to start, as it is an ancient ______ city that has a history ______ all the way back to Roman times. 伦敦是一个古老的港口城市，其历史可以追溯到罗马时代。 【答案】 ①. port ②. dating 【解析】 【详解】中英文对照，第一空表示“港口”，用名词port，作定语修饰后面的city；“追溯到”为固定短语date back to，that引导的定语从句中已有谓语动词has，因此date需处理为非谓语动词，逻辑主语a history和date back to是主动关系，故用现在分词dating作后置定语修饰a history。 47. The peaceful ________ of the “Emerald Isle” and its many green counties is a true ________ for the eyes, with its ________ green hills ________ ________ sheep and cattle. “绿宝石（爱尔兰）岛”风光宁静秀美，郡县草木葱茏，青山连绵起伏，牛羊点缀其中，堪称一场名副其实的视觉盛宴。 【答案】 ①. landscape ②. feast ③. rolling ④. dotted ⑤. with 【解析】 【详解】根据句意以及句子结构可知，该句第一空为名词landscape“风光”作主语；该句第二空为名词feast“盛宴”作表语；该句第三空为形容词rolling“连绵起伏的”作定语，修饰green hills；该句第四处应为固定结构 be dotted with表示“点缀着，遍布着”，此处是with复合结构：with+宾语+过去分词”，hills与dot是被动关系，因此用过去分词dotted。 48. Music was the rock I ________ ________ to become strong and to get through those hard times. 音乐是岩石，让我倚靠，变得坚强，度过那些艰难的日子。 【答案】 ①. leant/leaned ②. on 【解析】 【详解】“I ________ ________ to become strong and to get through those hard times”是省略关系代词的限制性定语从句，修饰先行词the rock；中英文对照，空处表示“倚靠”，用动词短语lean on，在从句中作谓语，根据主句谓语was以及句意，从句动作发生在过去，用一般过去时，第一空填lean的过去式leaned/leant，第二空填on。 49. With the development of modern society and the spread of new ideas, some traditions may ________ ________ and ________ may be established. 随着现代社会的发展以及新思想的传播，一些传统可能会逐渐消失，而另一些传统则可能会形成。 【答案】 ①. fade ②. away ③. others 【解析】 【详解】中英文对照，前两个空表示“逐渐消失”，用固定动词短语是fade away，情态动词may后需接动词原形，第一、二空填fade away。第三空表示“另一些传统”，前面有some traditions，此处填others，指代other traditions，构成“some ... others...”的常用并列结构，意为“一些……另一些……”。 第四节 单句语法填空（共4小题，每小题1分，满分4分） 50. She looked at me as if she ________ (respond) to my question long before I even asked it. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】had responded 【解析】 【详解】句意：她看着我，仿佛早在我开口提问之前，她就已经回答了我的问题。分析句子可知，该句为as if 引导方式状语从句，此处为虚拟语气。主句动词looked为一般过去时；从句动作respond发生在“看着我”之前，即过去的过去，从句用had + 过去分词。 51. Ne Zha 2: Demon Child Conquers the Sea, written and directed by Jiaozi, has earned more than 14.5 billon at the box office, becoming the first Chinese film ________ (achieve) the milestone. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】to achieve 【解析】 【详解】考查动词不定式。句意：由饺子自编自导的《哪吒2：魔童闹海》票房超过145亿美元，成为第一部达到这一里程碑的中国电影。当名词前有序数词、最高级等修饰时，常用动词不定式作后置定语，对该名词进行修饰和限定。在本句中，“the first Chinese film”被序数词 “first” 修饰，所以后面要用动词不定式 “to achieve”作后置定语，修饰“film”，表示 “第一部达到这个里程碑的中国电影”。故填to achieve。 52. However, when preparing for the English speech contest, I found ________ very challenging to collect information and use language correctly. (用适当的词填空) 【答案】it 【解析】 【详解】考查代词。句意：然而，在准备英语演讲比赛时，我发现收集信息和正确使用语言非常具有挑战性。此处为“find+it+adj.+动词不定式”结构，其中it为形式宾语，形容词为宾补，真正的宾语为后面的不定式短语“to collect information and use language correctly”。故填it。 53. The company’s ________ (believe) is centered around providing high-quality products to customers. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】belief 【解析】 【详解】句意：该公司的宗旨是为顾客提供高品质产品。名词所有格company’s 后面需要名词；believe其名词形式为belief“信念，宗旨”；谓语is为单数，主语用单数belief。 第四部分 书面表达（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 应用文（满分15分） 54. 我校将于4月23日世界读书日（World Book Day）举行英语演讲比赛。请你以“Be a wise reader”为题写一篇发言稿参赛，内容包括： 1．阅读的重要性；2．提出建议。 注意：1．开头已写，不计入总词数；2．可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Be a Wise Reader Good morning, everyone. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That’s all.

So what would happen if one fine morning, you woke up to find the Internet has no existence? How would your life be changed? Without the Internet, your socializing would be impacted. If you’d gotten very used to socializing online, you would now be clueless as to how you could share the pictures of your recent trip you went for with your friends across the globe. It would be difficult to interact with people living outside your locality. You might have to become a member of a club or a community in your neighborhood to make new friends. With no online social media, you would find yourself saying this very often: Let’s go and talk to them. The Internet has become a huge sea of information and resources. No Internet would mean no instant or easy access to information at the click of a button. You would have to walk down to your local library and actually search the whole place to get the information you’re looking for, with little chances that you’ll find what you seek instantly. The students who were accustomed to using the Internet for completing their assignments would have a tough time. There would be no way to get an education without actually going to a school or a college physically. Without the Internet, things at your workplace would be turned upside down. If your work was largely Internet-based, your company might have to shut down. If your work involved only minor use of the Internet, for example, using online system to acquire statistics from the Internet, this simple task would now be a complicated and time-consuming process. Your desk would be full of documents and files, and you would have a nightmare searching or sorting them out by hand. In any case, life without the Internet would seem like a nightmare (噩梦)! So enjoy living in the paradise we call the Internet and make wise use of it! ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文： With no access to the Internet, what would your life be like? Firstly, it would be inconvenient to contact people far away for social communication. Secondly, information would not be as easy to get as before. Lastly, tasks at the office would become impossible or complicated to accomplish. Since the Internet is so important to our life, we should take good advantage of it and use it wisely. 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章设想没有互联网的生活：社交、信息获取与工作都会遭受巨大冲击，诸多事务变得繁琐困难。作者感慨当下互联网如同乐园，呼吁我们理性善用网络。 【详解】1. 要点摘录 ①So what would happen if one fine morning, you woke up to find the Internet has no existence? ②Without the Internet, your socializing would be impacted. ③No Internet would mean no instant or easy access to information at the click of a button. ④Without the Internet, things at your workplace would be turned upside down. If your work was largely Internet-based, your company might have to shut down. ⑤So enjoy living in the paradise we call the Internet and make wise use of it! 2. 缜密构思 将第1点列为问题描述，第2、3、4整合为三种具体情况描述，第5点作为结果和总结。 3. 遣词造句 What would your life be like without the Internet? First of all, it will become inconvenient to have social contact with people far away. Secondly, obtaining information will also be more difficult than before. Ultimately, the work in the office will become impossible to complete or extremely complicated. 【点睛】[高分句型1] Firstly, it would be inconvenient to contact people far away for social communication.（运用了it+be+adj.+to do...句型） [高分句型2] Since the Internet is so important to our life, we should take good advantage of it and use it wisely.（运用了Since引导的原因状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 厦门二中2024-2025学年第二学期高一年段4月阶段考英语学科试卷 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） 1.

Here are some curiosities from around the world. Easter Egg Hunting in England Among the most original rituals, the English Easter Egg Hunt deserves a place of honour. On Easter Sunday, children go hunting for eggs in parks and gardens, surrounded by people dressed up as Easter bunnies: only those who find the eggs hidden by family members will receive the surprise brought by the Easter Bunny. Easter Egg Roll at the White House In the United States, the annual White House Easter Egg Roll was born for the first time on April 22, 1878. A game that consists in letting the eggs slide on the grass for as long as possible without breaking them, where it’s possible to come across well-known personalities in the role of the Easter bunny. Colourful Confetti (五彩纸屑) in Mexico In Central America, a cheerful and unusual ritual: los cascarones. That is egg shells (壳) emptied out and filled with coloured confetti. Tissue paper sheets are used to hold the egg together, but not to worry if the result is not accurate. No one complains: this seems to be a custom brought by Marco Polo from China, where the shells were filled with spices (香料). The Giant Omelette in France Easter is associated with “abundance”, and the French prepare a giant omelette with over 4,500 eggs in Haux. Legend has it that Napoleon started this tradition after falling in love with the omelette in the town. It is served in the city’s main square and can feed over a thousand people. 1.

Easter Egg Roll at the White House B Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, born in 1977 in Enugu, Nigeria, is a famous writer and thinker known for her powerful storytelling and clear ideas on social issues. She grew up in Nsukka, a university town, where her parents worked as professors. Encouraged by her family’s love for books and learning, Adichie started writing stories as a child. She read novels by both African and Western writers, but she often noticed that Western books gave an incorrect picture of African life. This early understanding encouraged her to write stories that showed a more real image of her culture. Adichie moved to the United States for college, where she studied communication, political science, and creative writing. Her experience in the U. S. influenced her works deeply, as she observed cultural misunderstandings and stereotypes (刻板印象) about Africa. She used these observations to shape her unique writing style, mixing her Nigerian roots with her international outlook. Her first novel, Purple Hibiscus (2003), follows a Nigerian family dealing with personal and societal struggles. It received international praise and established Adichie as a rising star. Her second novel, Half of a Yellow Sun (2006), explores the Biafran War and its influence on ordinary people, while her third, Americanah (2013), examines themes of self-discovery, race, and migration (移民) through the story of a Nigerian woman living in the U. S. These works not only earned her countless awards but also challenged stereotypes about African life, offering a rich and detailed view of her homeland. Adichie is also a supporter of gender (性别) equality. Her TED Talk, We Should All Be Feminists, became a big success and was even adapted into a book. Today, she continues to write and speak on topics like culture and self-discovery, using her voice to connect people and promote understanding across different communities. 4. Why did Adichie take up writing? A. She was influenced by her parents. B. She was interested in Western novels. C. She was educated in the United States. D. She was determined to introduce her culture. 5. How did Adichie’s time in the U. S. affect her? A. She became more focused on politics. B. She began to question her Nigerian roots. C. She developed her personal way of writing. D. She started writing about American history. 6. Adichie’s three novels mentioned in paragraph 3 show ________. A. the value of self-discovery B. the real image of African life C. some social issues in Enugu D. women’s role in a Nigerian family 7. What is the text mainly about? A. Adichie’s cultural understanding. B. Adichie’s opinion on gender equality. C. Adichie’s writing journey and social influence. D. Adichie’s contribution to Nigerian literature and history. C What’s the first thing that pops into your mind when you think of wheat straw? Most people would probably just see it as a pile of waste in a farmer’s field. However, Wu Cui, an intangible cultural inheritor, can turn the straw left over from harvested wheat into beautiful and eye-catching functional artworks. The earliest straw-weaving(草编的)products were discovered at Hemudu Cultural Ruins, a Neolithic cultural site located in eastern China’s Zhejiang province. The Book of Rites, one of the classical works of Confucianism, also records that there were already mats made of cattail grass and professional straw-weaving craftsmen during the Zhou Dynasty(c.11th century-256 BC). Straw weaving is a method of making daily items or artworks. It was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage in 2008. Wu explains the process of straw weaving: selection of materials is the first step of a complicated, time consuming and labor-intensive process that can take weeks, or even months, to complete. You need to sketch(索描)the piece on paper, which requires drawing skills. Next comes weaving, shaping and preserving of the work. Even by finishing that process, it does not mean that you will always create a good piece of work, and the hardest part is to make it lifelike. In the past, woven straw items could be found almost in every household in the countryside, such as straw hats and straw shoes, because they were practical in everyday life. But due to the impact of industrialization, manufactured goods have replaced such products, which cause low profits, and there are only about 100 individuals engaging in the work across the country. “The world has changed, and craftsmen need to transcend(超越)practicality and pursue the beauty and artistry of straw culture to help the craft survive and thrive(茁壮成长),” Wu says. From her perspective, straw weaving should respond to people’s needs and preferences, while still drawing inspiration from traditional culture, “Craftspeople should make a great effort to grasp the trends and opportunities of the times to create new and relevant products,” she says. When asked about her plans, Wu says she wants to dig deeper into local traditional culture and create cultural creative products by developing the straw-weaving technique. 8. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about straw-weaving products? A. Their historic origins. B. Their cultural value. C. Their major uses. D. Their producing process. 9. Which is the most difficult part for straw-weaving craftsmen according to Wu Cui? A. Selecting suitable materials. B. Drawing sketches on paper. C. Making the artworks vivid. D. Preserving finished products. 10. What can we learn from Wu Cui’s opinion according to the last paragraph? A. Craftsmen should bring forth new ideas in the crafts based on traditional culture B. Pursuing fashion should be the first preference for eraftspeople. C. Local people benefit a lot from the straw—weaving techniques. D. Straw-weaving products are out of favor with customers. 11. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To explain the process of straw weaving. B. To present the future of a traditional culture. C. To introduce a way to pursue the beauty and artistry. D. To propose a new means of crafting. D You have probably heard of the Mozart effect. It’s the idea that if children or even babies listen to music composed of Mozart, they will become more intelligent. A quick Internet search shows plenty of products to assist you in the task. Whatever your age, there are CDs and books to help you taste the power of Mozart’s music, but when it comes to scientific evidence that it can make you more clever, the picture is more mixed. The phrase “the Mozart effect” was made up in 1991, but it was a study described two years later in the journal Nature that aroused real media and public interest about the idea that listening to classical music somehow improves the brain. It is one of those ideas that sound reasonable. Mozart was no doubt a genius himself; his music is complex and there is a hope that if we listen to enough of it, we’ll become more intelligent. The idea took off, with thousands of parents playing Mozart to their children, and in 1998 Zell Miller, the Governor of the state of Georgia in the USA, even asked for money to be set aside in the state budget so that every newborn baby could be sent a CD of classical music. It was not just babies and children who were exposed to (接触) Mozart’s music on purpose, even an Italian farmer proudly explained that the cows were played Mozart three times a day to help them to produce better milk. I’ll leave the debate on the effect on milk production to farmers, but what about the evidence that listening to Mozart makes people more intelligent? More research was carried out but an analysis of 16 different studies confirmed that listening to music does lead to a temporary (临时的) improvement in the ability to handle shapes mentally, but the benefits are short-lived and it doesn’t make us more intelligent. 12. What can we learn from Paragraph 1? A. Mozart composed many musical pieces for children. B. Children listening to Mozart will be more intelligent. C. There are few products on the Internet about Mozart’s music. D. There is little scientific evidence to support the Mozart effect. 13. The underlined phrase in Paragraph 3 suggests that ________. A. People were strongly against the idea. B. the idea was accepted by many people. C. Mozart played an important part in people’s life. D. the US government helped promote the idea. 14. What’s the author’s attitude towards the Mozart effect? A. Supportive. B. Objective. C. Doubtful. D. Positive. 15. What is the best title for the passage? A. Listening to Mozart, necessary? B. What music is beneficial? C. What is the Mozart effect? D. To be or not to be? 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Regret is a very real reaction to a disappointing event in your life, a choice you made that can’t be changed, something you said that you can’t take back. ____16____ Regret can increase our stress, negatively affect physical health and disturb the balance of our immune systems. ____17____ One is what researchers refer to as the action path and the other is the inaction path.

So what would happen if one fine morning, you woke up to find the Internet has no existence? How would your life be changed? Without the Internet, your socializing would be impacted. If you’d gotten very used to socializing online, you would now be clueless as to how you could share the pictures of your recent trip you went for with your friends across the globe. It would be difficult to interact with people living outside your locality. You might have to become a member of a club or a community in your neighborhood to make new friends. With no online social media, you would find yourself saying this very often: Let’s go and talk to them. The Internet has become a huge sea of information and resources. No Internet would mean no instant or easy access to information at the click of a button. You would have to walk down to your local library and actually search the whole place to get the information you’re looking for, with little chances that you’ll find what you seek instantly. The students who were accustomed to using the Internet for completing their assignments would have a tough time. There would be no way to get an education without actually going to a school or a college physically. Without the Internet, things at your workplace would be turned upside down. If your work was largely Internet-based, your company might have to shut down. If your work involved only minor use of the Internet, for example, using online system to acquire statistics from the Internet, this simple task would now be a complicated and time-consuming process. Your desk would be full of documents and files, and you would have a nightmare searching or sorting them out by hand. In any case, life without the Internet would seem like a nightmare (噩梦)! So enjoy living in the paradise we call the Internet and make wise use of it! ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
