W: I bought a pair of trousers. I liked the shoes and flowers very much, but I didn’t have enough money. Text 3 W: My assistant Sam told me you’re doing some work from home. M: Right.

M: ⑥Mrs. White, is it too late if I’m telling you I want to back out now? W: I’m afraid it is. After Zoey’s modern dance, it’s your turn. ⑦Just be confident, Peter. I’ve heard you singing before. You have a wonderful voice. Besides, you’ve practiced for so long. M: But I’ve never stepped on the stage for real before. W: Take a deep breath and relax. ⑦The audience is going to love your song, I promise. Text 7 W: ⑧Are you close to finishing that report, honey? M: Far from it. I still need at least two hours.

I was on my uncle’s farm with my parents this summer holiday. ⑭My uncle has a farm and I love visiting it. W: ⑭So what does he mainly grow? M: ⑭He’s growing potatoes, tomatoes and carrots this year. Potatoes are the most. W: It must be very hard to run such a large farm. Are there many people helping him on the farm? M: Not really. ⑮He uses a mobile app called Crop for Site during the day to day running. So have you ever been to a farm before? W: No, my parents are too busy with their work at school.

We’ll explore beautiful park sites while conducting invasive (侵入的) plant removal, winter planting, and seed collection. Habitat Restoration Team volunteers play a vital role in restoring sensitive resources and protecting endangered species across the ridges and valleys. (帮助恢复和保护从马林海岬到波利纳斯岭的马林海的自然区域。我们将探索美丽的公园场地，同时进行入侵植物清除、冬季种植和种子收集。栖息地恢复小组的志愿者在恢复敏感资源和保护山脊和山谷中的濒危物种方面发挥着至关重要的作用)”可知，栖息地恢复小组的目的是保护当地生态系统。故选C项。 22．答案：B 解析：细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Volunteers aged 10 and over are welcome. (欢迎10岁及以上的志愿者)”可知，参加栖息地恢复小组的最低年龄限制是10岁。故选B项。 23．答案：B 解析：细节理解题。根据文章第五段“We’ll be working rain or shine. (我们将风雨无阻地工作)”可知，身为志愿者，即使天气不好也要工作。故选B项。 24．答案：C 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The film's production team realised they needed an alternative to the style that highlighted almost all of the leaves, flowers and mushrooms in the woods of Snow White.”以及第二段中的“Soon they got their inspiration from Tyrus Wong可知，迪士尼的艺术家们注意到黄齐耀是因为黄齐耀的作品风格很适合《小鹿班比》这部动画中的树林场景。故选C项。 25．答案：B 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“His expression was a great leap forward for the medium”和“Where other films were literal, Bambi was expressive and emotional.”可知，黄齐耀的表达风格是动画媒介的一大飞跃，其他电影都是直白的，而《小鹿班比》富有表现力且饱含情感。由此可知，约翰·拉塞特认为黄齐耀的风格注重情感的表达。故选B项。 26．答案：A 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“He pursued art all his life and still made art during his retirement, including toy animals from recycled materials and handmade kites that he regularly flew off the Santa Monica Pier in California.”可知，他一生致力于艺术。故选A项。 27．答案：C 解析：推理判断题。根据第二段内容可知，迪士尼的艺术家们从黄齐耀的作品中得到灵感，因此黄齐耀被迪士尼卡通工作室聘请绘制动画画面；再根据第三段内容可知，黄齐耀画的速描画成为《小鹿班比》背景艺术家的指导，他的表达方式是动画媒介的一大飞跃，2001年，他获封迪士尼“传奇人物”；根据最后一段可知，黄齐耀一生都在追求艺术，退休后仍在从事艺术创作。综上可知，作者通过描述黄齐耀的职业生涯对他进行介绍。故选C项。 28．答案：D 解析：推理判断题。根据第一段中的“The rise of the Internet has been one of the most influential developments in human history, comparable in effect to the invention of the printing press and the telegraph.”可知，作者将因特网的兴起与印刷机和电报的发明进行比较，是为了强调因特网与印刷机和电报一样对人类历史产生了巨大影响。 29．答案：C 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Mass use of the Internet is driving one of the most exciting social, cultural, and political changes in history, and unlike earlier periods of change, this time the effects are fully global”可知，作者指出因特网的大规模使用正在推动历史上最令人兴奋的社会、文化和政治变革之一，并且这次的影响是全球性的。故选C项。immeasurable意为“不可估量的”; uncontrollable意为“无法控制的”; disastrous意为“灾难性的”。 30．答案：B 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“But if the book has one major shortcoming, it's that the authors don't spend enough time applying a critical eye to the role of Internet businesses in these sweeping changes.”可知，这本书的不足之处是作者没有花足够的时间以批判的眼光来看待因特网企业在这些变化中所扮演的角色，即作者认为这本书的主要缺点在于它未能全面且客观地审视因特网企业的作用，故选B项。 31．答案：D 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“By using this idea as a starting point, the authors aim to move beyond the now familiar optimist versus pessimist dichotomy that has been characterised by many recent debates about whether the rise of the Internet will finally be good or bad for society.”以及“Cohen said although he and his co-author are optimistic about many aspects of the Internet, they are also realistic about the risks and dangers that lie ahead when all the people come online”可知，该书的作者们试图超越乐观主义和悲观主义的对立观点，以中立的态度来分析因特网的影响。由此可推知，他们在探究因特网的影响时没有偏向任一方，客观看待因特网的积极与消极影响。故选D项。 32．答案：C 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段内容可知，阿扎·拉斯金创立了ESP这一组织，该组织利用一种人工智能来翻译非人类语言，希望利用其机器学习技术来理解非人类语言，使非人类语言易于为公众所知。由此可知，阿扎·拉斯金想帮助人们理解非人类语言。故选C项。 33．答案：B 解析：词义猜测题。根据画线词前的discover the non-human language及下文提到ESP认为理解语言可以帮助加深人类与动物的关系可知，该组织努力的方向是发现并理解非人类语言，故此处指理解动物的交流。由此可推测，画线词的意思是“理解”，故选B项。 34．答案：B 解析：细节理解题。根据第四段中的“In the past, understanding the communication of animals heavily depended on a great deal of observation.”可知，过去研究人员通过大量的观察研究动物交流。故选B项。 35．答案：C 解析：主旨大意题。本文主要介绍为了帮助改变人类对地球环境的影响，一家组织正在探索一种人工智能语言，它可以帮助人们深入理解非人类语言，破译动物的交流。C项（理解动物语言的新方法）最适合做本文的标题。 36-40．答案：F；A；G；B；E 解析：36. 上文提到舒适区这一概念可以帮助我们拥抱风险，获得真正的个人成长；下文讲到待在舒适区内能够给我们熟悉感、安全感和确定感，走出舒适区就意味着要面临压力和焦虑。由此可知，F 项（这是一个行为空间，在这个空间里我们会做出符合常规的行为以降低压力和风险）承上启下，符合语境，其中的 It 指代上文提到的“the ‘comfort zone’”。故选 F 项。 37. 上文提到随着年龄增长，人们逐渐害怕失败，尝试的新事物也更少；下文讲到如果不经历困难和摸索的过程，也就谈不上是学习。由此可知，设空处应说明人们害怕失败和尝试更少的新事物导致的负面影响。A 项（这以我们的终身成长为巨大代价）符合语境，其中的 This 指代上文中提到的“不敢冒险和尝试更少新事物”的行为。故选 A 项。 38. 根据本段的主旨句“Trying new things can make us more creative。”可知，本段主要介绍尝试新事物的好处。根据下文提到的两组学生的创造力测试可知，有过出国留学经历的学生在创造力测试中得分更高。由此可知，设空处应引出实验的结论，空后提到的内容即为例证。G 项（研究发现，出国留学能提高学生的创造力）符合语境，其中的 studying abroad 呼应后文的 spent a semester in Spain。 39. 设空处位于段首，应为本段的主旨句，须概括本段的内容。根据空后内容可知，本段主要说明了随着年龄增长，舒适区会缩小，但不断扩大舒适区有助于获得更大的成就和更高的幸福感。B 项（接受新的挑战可以帮助我们更好地成长）能够概括本段主旨，故选 B 项。 40. 设空处位于段尾，应对本段内容进行概括总结。空前讲到适度的焦虑有助于提升表现，但过度的压力会使大脑产生过多的压力激素，从而导致工作效率降低。E 项（那就是为什么当压力太大时，表现会下降）解释了压力过大导致表现下降这一结果，承接上文描述的原因，符合语境，其中的 That 指代上文所说的“大脑产生过多的压力激素时会降低工作效率”的这一事实，too much stress 与上文的 too many stress hormones 相呼应。故选 E 项。 第三部分 完形填空 41．答案：B 解析：根据上文The first-grade teacher and下文to draw a picture of something for which they were thankful可知，画一幅他们所感恩的东西的画是老师布置给学生们的任务。assignment意为“任务”，故选B项。experiment意为“实验”；duty意为“责任”。 42．答案：C 解析：根据上文Most of the class might have economic problems可知，班上的大多数人可能有经济困难，因此他们很难吃上一顿丰盛的饭。struggle to do sth.意为“挣扎着做某事；做某事很费劲”，故选C项。offer意为“主动提出”；tend意为“倾向于”。 43．答案：B 解析：根据下文the holiday with turkey and other traditional food of the season可推知，学生们会用火鸡和其他当季的传统食物来庆祝感恩节。observe意为“庆祝”，故选B项。provide意为“提供”；congratulate意为“祝贺”；memorise意为“记住”。 44．答案：A 解析：空前的These指代上文中的turkey and other traditional food of the season，即火鸡和其他当季的传统食物，由此推知，这些将是孩子们画画的主题。subject意为“主题”，故选A项。purpose意为“目的”；concern意为“关心；担心”；attempt意为“尝试”。 45．答案：D 解析：根据上文中的“But Douglas made a different kind of picture.”及下文中的“As other children played during the break, Douglas was __________ to stand close by the teacher's side.”可推知，道格拉斯与其他孩子不同。故选D项。 46．答案：A 解析：根据语境可知，道格拉斯跟其他的孩子都不太一样，此处表示当其他孩子都在休息时间玩耍时，道格拉斯可能会选择跟老师待在一起。likely意为“可能的”，故选A项。lucky意为“幸运的”；unwilling意为“不情愿的”；wise意为“明智的”。 47．答案：C 解析：根据上文内容可知，道格拉斯跟其他孩子不太一样，无法融入其他孩子，由此可推知，此处表示他感受到的痛苦。故选C项。seek意为“寻找”。 48．答案：B 解析：根据下文“Whose hand could it be? One child guessed it was the hand of a farmer because farmers raise ________. Another suggested a police officer because the police protect and care for people.”可知，其他孩子纷纷猜测道格拉斯画的手是谁的，因此是激发了他们的想象力。imagination意为“想象力”，故选B项。description意为“描述”；emotion意为“情感”；illustration意为“例证”。 49．答案：B 解析：根据上文“Thanksgiving Day was near.”和to draw a picture of something for which they were thankful以及__________ the holiday with turkey可知，老师在感恩节前让学生们画画，画的内容是他们所感恩的东西，许多学生会用火鸡来庆祝这个节日，结合常识可推知，有孩子会猜测这幅画里的手是养火鸡的农民的。故选B项。 50．答案：C 解析：根据下文中的“She paused at Douglas' desk, bent down and asked whose hand it was.”可知，此处表示学生们一直在讨论，最后老师转向了这位年轻的艺术家本人。finally意为“最终，最后”，故选C项。specially意为“尤其”；clearly意为“清晰地”；simply意为“只是”。 51．答案：D 解析：根据空后内容可知，道格拉斯低声回答老师的问题，由此推知，面对老师的提问，他会把目光移开。look away意为“转移目光”。故选D项。 52．答案：C 解析：根据下文the time when she had taken his hand and walked with him here or there可推知，道格拉斯的回答让老师回想起这样的日子。remember意为“回想起”，故选C项。remind意为“提醒”。 53．答案：A 解析：根据语境和常识并结合选项可知，一年级的老师会教学生如何握住铅笔。故选A项。hold意为“握住；抓住”；draw意为“画”；carry意为“携带”；move意为“移动”。 54．答案：B 解析：根据上文中的to draw a picture of something for which they were thankful可知，画的内容是所感恩的东西，因此道格拉斯画的老师的手是他最感恩的东西。故选 B 项。helpful 意为“有帮助的”; useful 意为“有用的”。 55．答案：D 解析：根据空前的 the hand 可推知，此处指伸出来帮助的手，一语双关，既指实体意义上的老师用来牵起道格拉斯的那只手，也指抽象意义上的老师给予道格拉斯的帮助。reach out 意为“伸出”，故选 D 项。give out 意为“分发”; take out 意为“带（某人）出去”; let out 意为“放开”。 语法填空 56-65．答案：located；hugely；a ；attractions ；enjoying ；significance；whom ；with；to protect；has been made 解析：56. 句意为：庐山国家公园位于江西省九江市南部，多年来一直吸引着全国各地的游客。分析句子结构可知，本句主干为Lushan National Park has attracted visitors，设空处应用非谓语动词作后置定语，修饰Lushan National Park；be located in为固定搭配，意为“位于……”，故此处应用过去分词形式。故填located。 57. 句意为：虽然它对西方人来说不是一个知名的景点，但这个公园非常受中国人欢迎。此处修饰形容词popular，应用副词作状语。故填hugely。 58. 句意为：它是来中国旅行的任何一个游客必去的地方。place是可数名词，此处泛指“一个必去的地方”，must-see的发音以辅音音素开头，所以用不定冠词a修饰。故填a。 59. 句意为：公园里最令人惊叹的景点之一是含都口。此处为 “one of+the+形容词最高级+可数名词复数”结构，表示“最……的……之一”；attract的名词形式是attraction，表示“有吸引力的事物”时为可数名词，此处应用名词复数。故填attractions。 60. 句意为：从这里你可以往下看，欣赏下方几百米处的一个湖泊的景色。本句已有谓语can look down，设空处应用非谓语动词作状语，you与enjoy之间是逻辑上的主动关系，所以用现在分词形式。故填enjoying。 61. 句意为：整个地区在中国文化中具有非常重要的意义。此处为“be of+名词”结构，相当于“be+该名词对应的形容词”；be of great significance表示“非常重要的”。故填significance。 62. 句意为：在中国历史上，它吸引了许多寻求灵感的伟大的思想家、艺术家和作家，他们都高度评价它的美。all of_________ thought highly of its beauty为非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词“many great thinkers, artists and writers”，先行词指人，关系词在从句中作介词of的宾语，所以用关系代词whom。 63. 句意为：近年来，随着越来越多的人参观该公园，许多规定被制定出来以防止公园被破坏。结合句意可知，________more and more people visiting the park在句中作状语，此处表示“随着……”，为“with+宾语+宾补”复合结构。故填with。 64. 句意见上一题解析。句中已有谓语，此处为非谓语动词，结合句意可知，此处表示目的，作目的状语，应用动词不定式。故填to protect。 65. 句意为：到目前为止，中国政府在减少大众旅游的负面影响方面已经取得了很大的进展。此处在句中作谓语，So far是现在完成时的标志性时间状语，progress与make之间是被动关系，且主语为不可数名词。故填has been made。 第四部分 书面表达 Dear Wilson,     How are you getting on these days? Our school plans to set up a Reading English Classic Group, and we'd like to invite you to join us.     Reading English classics is a good way to know about the culture of western countries.

So, they went to the local supermarket together. They bought some special bags for popcorn. When they got home, they made a lot of popcorn and put it in the special bags. With the popcorn, they went to Bernard's home. They told Bernard how to sell the popcorn. Bernard and his parents were very grateful. And the Meredith family also felt very happy to help this family. With everything ready, Bernard started out on his new business. He took the popcorn around to the houses and sold all his popcorn. He earned a lot of money. Then, he wanted to be self-dependent. Therefore, he asked Mrs. Meredith to teach him how to make popcorn. After that, not only did he sell popcorn, but he also added cream and salt to the popcorn to make it taste better. Bernard grew up to be a remarkable man. He did not forget the help of the Meredith family, and he also did what he could to help those in need. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $高二年级英语学科开学考一 第一部分听力共两节，满分30分) 注意：回答听力部分时，请先将答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将试 卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选 项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两 遍。 1.When does the man usually go off work?

B A year after Walt Disney made history with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,his artists were struggling to find the right design for the woodland backgrounds of Bambi,the tale of a young deer.The film's production team realised they needed an alternative to the style that highlighted almost all of the leaves,flowers and mushrooms in the woods of Snow White. Soon they got their inspiration from Tyrus Wong,whose work was on display as a new exhibit at New York City's Museum of Chinese in America.In 1938,the Walt Disney Studios hired him to draw the frames between the main drawings of the animators.After reading the story of Bambi,he saw an opportunity to break out of his humdrum (job.He said to himself,"This is all outdoor scenery. AndI'm a landscape painter.This will be great!" Inspired by Chinese landscape paintings,he used watercolour and pastel (to make sketches that brought the feeling of forest scenes with simple strokes of colour and special attention to light and shadow.Wong's sketches attracted Disney and became the guide for Bambi's background artists,who were later trained to imitate his style."His expression was a great leap forward for the medium,"wrote John Lasseter,the chief creative officer for Walt Disney and Pixar Animation Studios."Where other films were literal,Bambi was expressive and emotional."In 2001,Wong was named "Disney Legend",and he received the recognition as the true lead artist. He pursued art all his life and still made art during his retirement,including toy animals from recycled materials and handmade kites that he regularly flew off the Santa Monica Pier in California. "People admired his work because of Bambi,but Bambi was just a really small part of his life,"said his youngest daughter."He considered himself not a great artist but a lucky artist,who was at the right place at the right time." 24.Why did Walt Disney's artists notice Tyrus Wong? A.He was good at drawing cartoon characters B.He won a prize at a museum in New York. C.His style was suitable for the woods of Bambi D.His work could be used to advertise Walt Disney's films. 25.What did John Lasseter think of Tyrus Wong's style? A.It lacked imagination and was ordinary. B.It focused on the expression of emotion. C.It showed the legend of Walt Disney. D.It displayed the progress of the medium. 26.What can we learn about Tyrus Wong from the last paragraph? A.He was devoted to art during his lifetime. B.He had been busy with his whole life.

C The rise of the Internet has been one of the most influential developments in human history, comparable in effect to the invention of the printing press and the telegraph()Over two billion people worldwide now have access to more information than ever before,and can communicate with each other whenever they want,often using the Web-connected mobile phones they carry everywhere.But the Internet's huge influence has only just begun. "Mass use of the Internet is driving one of the most exciting social,cultural,and political changes in history,and unlike earlier periods of change,this time the effects are fully global,"Schmidt and Cohen write in their new book The New Digital Age:Reshaping the Future of People,Nations and Business. Perhaps the most far-reaching changes will come when the people worldwide who currently have no access to the Internet get online.The authors do an excellent job of examining the possible results of the Internet revolution for individuals,governments,and institutions like the news media.But if the book has one major shortcoming,it's that the authors don't spend enough time applying a critical eye to the role of Internet businesses in these sweeping changes. 4 At the centre of the book is the idea that"technology is impartial,but people aren't".By using this idea as a starting point,the authors aim to move beyond the now familiar optimist versus pessimist dichotomy()that has been characterised by many recent debates about whether the rise of the Internet will finally be good or bad for society.In an interview earlier this week,Cohen said although he and his co-author are optimistic about many aspects of the Internet,they are also realistic about the risks and dangers that lie ahead when all the people come online,particularly with respect to personal privacy and state monitoring. 28.Why does the author compare the Internet with the printing press and the telegraph? A.To present the development of technology B.To show the creativity of human beings. C.To prove the efforts made by human beings D.To stress the great influence of the Internet. 29.Which word can best describe the effects of mass use of the Internet according to paragraph 2? A.Immeasurable. B.Uncontrollable. C.Worldwide. D.Disastrous. 30.What is the major weakness of the book? A.It doesn't recognise the influence of the Internet businesses. B.It fails to look at the role of Internet businesses fully and objectively. C.It lacks all-round monitoring on the sweeping changes. D.It doesn't cover the risks and dangers that lie ahead. 31.What do we know about the authors of the book? A.They leave many questions unanswered. B.They are pessimistic about the future of the Internet C.They are not aware of the risks and dangers of the Internet. D.They don't take sides in examining the effects of the Internet. D In order to help change our influence on the environment of the earth,a California-based organisation is searching to build an AI language.It can allow people to deeply understand non-human languages Aza Raskin is the co-founder and president of the Earth Species Project (ESP),an organisation that uses a form of AI to translate non-human languages.ESP wants to use its machine learning technology to understand this important information and make it easily known to the public. Raskin stressed their purpose to help protection by explaining,"The end we are working towards is, we can discover the non-human language,and decode animal communication.Along the way,what is also important is that we are developing technology that supports scientists and protection."ESP believes that understanding languages can help deepen our relationship with animals and allow us to better protect them. In the past,understanding the communication of animals heavily depended on a great deal of observation.Whether it is alamm calls or sounds made by dolphins or elephants,scientists have been 5 amazed by the different forms of non-human communication present in these animals.With the development of new technologies,researchers have now begun to understand a great deal of data they can get through machine learning. Elodie Briefer,a professor at the University of Copenhagen,has recently helped co-develop a pig grunt (analysing algorithm.It can help scientists understand whether the pigs are expressing positive or negative feelings.However,ESP is doing it differently,by focusing on all kinds of animals,not just one.ESP believes it is likely that social animals communicate with each other,for example,whales and dolphins. Although ESP believes that understanding AI machine learning data is only one step towards full communication,it believes that one day we will be able to understand entire systems of communication. 32.What is Aza Raskin trying to do? A.Educate the public to take care of animals. B.Create a new organisation to protect the earth. C.Help people understand non-human languages.

Taking risks is what helps us grow.As children,we're natural risk-takers.But as we get older and learn to fear failure,we start holding ourselves back and attempting fewer new things.37 6 In fact,there is no learning without some difficulty and fumbling ()If we want to keep on learning, we must keep on risking failure Trying new things can make us more creative.When we share creative work,we open ourselves up to possible rejection.Meanwhile,risking failure increases the possibility of great creative achievement. 38 Those who spent a semester in Spain scored higher on two different tests on creativity than those who did not. 39 Our comfort zones tend to narrow as we get older-but if we can keep expanding them,we'll open ourselves up to greater achievement and improved well-being as we age.A study found that learning new and demanding life skills can help us stay mentally sharp as we get older. But don't push ourselves too far.A famous experiment found that stimulation (could improve performance,but only to a certain extent.Performance is improved up to the level of"optimal anxiety"-beyond the level,there is a tipping point where the brain produces too many stress hormones, weakening our ability to work effectively.40 A.This comes at a high cost to our lifelong growth B.Accepting new challenges can help us grow better.

B A year after Walt Disney made history with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, his artists were struggling to find the right design for the woodland backgrounds of Bambi, the tale of a young deer. The film's production team realised they needed an alternative to the style that highlighted almost all of the leaves, flowers and mushrooms in the woods of Snow White. Soon they got their inspiration from Tyrus Wong, whose work was on display as a new exhibit at New York City's Museum of Chinese in America. In 1938, the Walt Disney Studios hired him to draw the frames between the main drawings of the animators. After reading the story of Bambi, he saw an opportunity to break out of his humdrum（乏味的）job. He said to himself, "This is all outdoor scenery. And I'm a landscape painter. This will be great!" Inspired by Chinese landscape paintings, he used watercolour and pastel（蜡笔）to make sketches that brought the feeling of forest scenes with simple strokes of colour and special attention to light and shadow. Wong's sketches attracted Disney and became the guide for Bambi's background artists, who were later trained to imitate his style. "His expression was a great leap forward for the medium," wrote John Lasseter, the chief creative officer for Walt Disney and Pixar Animation Studios. "Where other films were literal, Bambi was expressive and emotional." In 2001, Wong was named "Disney Legend", and he received the recognition as the true lead artist. He pursued art all his life and still made art during his retirement, including toy animals from recycled materials and handmade kites that he regularly flew off the Santa Monica Pier in California. "People admired his work because of Bambi, but Bambi was just a really small part of his life," said his youngest daughter. "He considered himself not a great artist but a lucky artist, who was at the right place at the right time." 24． Why did Walt Disney's artists notice Tyrus Wong? A. He was good at drawing cartoon characters. B. He won a prize at a museum in New York. C. His style was suitable for the woods of Bambi. D. His work could be used to advertise Walt Disney's films. 25． What did John Lasseter think of Tyrus Wong's style? A. It lacked imagination and was ordinary. B. It focused on the expression of emotion. C. It showed the legend of Walt Disney. D. It displayed the progress of the medium. 26． What can we learn about Tyrus Wong from the last paragraph? A. He was devoted to art during his lifetime. B. He had been busy with his whole life. C. He stopped creating after retirement. D. He liked to purchase toys and kites. 27． How does the author introduce Tyrus Wong? A. By showing his inner self. B. By making comparisons with other artists. C. By describing his career. D. By listing his works. C The rise of the Internet has been one of the most influential developments in human history, comparable in effect to the invention of the printing press and the telegraph(电报). Over two billion people worldwide now have access to more information than ever before, and can communicate with each other whenever they want, often using the Web-connected mobile phones they carry everywhere. But the Internet's huge influence has only just begun. “Mass use of the Internet is driving one of the most exciting social, cultural, and political changes in history, and unlike earlier periods of change, this time the effects are fully global,” Schmidt and Cohen write in their new book The New Digital Age: Reshaping the Future of People, Nations and Business. Perhaps the most far-reaching changes will come when the people worldwide who currently have no access to the Internet get online. The authors do an excellent job of examining the possible results of the Internet revolution for individuals, governments, and institutions like the news media. But if the book has one major shortcoming, it's that the authors don't spend enough time applying a critical eye to the role of Internet businesses in these sweeping changes. At the centre of the book is the idea that“technology is impartial, but people aren't”. By using this idea as a starting point, the authors aim to move beyond the now familiar optimist versus pessimist dichotomy(对立观点) that has been characterised by many recent debates about whether the rise of the Internet will finally be good or bad for society. In an interview earlier this week, Cohen said although he and his co-author are optimistic about many aspects of the Internet, they are also realistic about the risks and dangers that lie ahead when all the people come online, particularly with respect to personal privacy and state monitoring. 28． Why does the author compare the Internet with the printing press and the telegraph? A. To present the development of technology. B. To show the creativity of human beings. C. To prove the efforts made by human beings. D. To stress the great influence of the Internet. 29． Which word can best describe the effects of mass use of the Internet according to paragraph 2? A. Immeasurable. B. Uncontrollable. C. Worldwide. D. Disastrous. 30． What is the major weakness of the book? A. It doesn't recognise the influence of the Internet businesses. B. It fails to look at the role of Internet businesses fully and objectively. C. It lacks all-round monitoring on the sweeping changes. D. It doesn't cover the risks and dangers that lie ahead. 31． What do we know about the authors of the book? A. They leave many questions unanswered. B. They are pessimistic about the future of the Internet. C. They are not aware of the risks and dangers of the Internet. D. They don't take sides in examining the effects of the Internet.

As the economy was in decline, some people in the town had lost their jobs. Many of their families were struggling to make ends meet. People were trying to help each other meet the challenges. Mrs. Meredith was a most kind and thoughtful woman. She spent a great deal of time visiting the poor. She knew they had problems, and they needed all kinds of help. When she had time, she would bring food and medicine to them. One morning she told her children about a family she had visited the day before. There was a man sick in bed, his wife, who took care of him and could not go out to work, and their little boy. The little boy—his name was Bernard—had interested her very much. "I wish you could see him," she said to her own children, John, Harry, and Clara. "He is such a help to his mother. He wants very much to earn some money, but I don't see what he can do." After their mother left the room, the children sat thinking about Bernard. "I wish we could help him to earn money," said Clara. "His family is suffering so much." "So do I," said Harry. "We really should do something to assist them." For some moments, John said nothing, but, suddenly, he sprang to his feet and cried, "I have a great idea! I have a solution that we can all help accomplish (完成)." The other children also jumped up all attention. When John had an idea, it was sure to be a good one. "I tell you what we can do," said John. "You know that big box of corn Uncle John sent us? Well, we can make popcorn (爆米花), and put it into paper bags, and Bernard can take it around to the houses and sell it." 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 When Mrs. Meredith heard of John's idea, she thought it was a good one, too. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With everything ready, Bernard started out on his new business. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $第一节听下面五段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。听下面的录音，回答第一小题。i hate working over time, so most of the time I knock off at five PM on schedule.
