After that, it’s only a short trip on foot to visit the beautiful Barrio Santa Cruz neighbourhood. Venice, Italy Venice is well-known as a heaven for pedestrians (行人), so it’s no surprise it ranks as the second best location for walkable city breaks. There are endless alleyways to explore, as well as plenty of beautiful bridges over the crisscrossing canals that the city is famous for. Just under half an hour of walking here will take you on a tour of the impressive Grand Canal, Doge’s Palace, St Mark’s Square, Basilica and bell tower, all in only 1.3 miles. Porto, Portugal Nestled along Portugal’s picturesque coast, Porto comes in third with its top attractions all covered by a 30-minute walking route. Meander along the Dom Luís I Bridge over the Douro River, head to the Clérigos Church Bell Tower and enjoy a riverfront walking place along the Cais da Ribeira. The Stock Exchange Palace is also just a short walk away. Florence, Italy Florence, Italy, secures its place as the fourth most walkable city in Europe thanks to its stunning attractions that can be seamlessly explored on foot. A 1.6 mile route covers the awe-inspiring Piazzale Michelangelo; the famous Uffizi Gallery; the Piazza del Duomo where you will be amazed at the magnificent Florence Cathedral; and the Galleria dell’Accademia, home to Michelangelo’s masterpiece, the statue of David. 1. How long is probably the walking route in Seville? A. 1.1 miles. B. 1.3 meters. C. 1.6 meters. D. 1.8 meters. 2. Which city is probably located near the sea? A. Seville. B. Venice. C. Porto. D. Florence. 3. What is the writing purpose of the text? A. To compare the four cities. B. To show the benefits of walking. C. To stress the importance of traveling. D. To attract visitors to walk in these cities. 【答案】1. A 2. C 3. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四个欧洲最适合步行的城市。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Seville, Spain部分提到的“Seville in Spain takes the top spot as Europe’s most walkable city, offering the shortest walking route between the top four tourist attractions.(西班牙的塞维利亚被评为欧洲最适合步行的城市，在四大旅游景点之间的步行路线最短)”，Venice, Italy部分提到“Just under half an hour of walking here will take you on a tour of the impressive Grand Canal, Doge’s Palace, St Mark’s Square, Basilica and bell tower, all in only 1.3 miles.(在这里步行不到半小时，你就可以参观令人印象深刻的大运河、总督府、圣马可广场、大教堂和钟楼，所有这些都只有1.3英里)”，Porto, Portugal部分提到“Nestled along Portugal’s picturesque coast, Porto comes in third with its top attractions all covered by a 30-minute walking route.(坐落在葡萄牙风景如画的海岸上，波尔图排名第三，其顶级景点都是30分钟的步行路线)”以及Florence, Italy部分提到“A 1.6 mile route covers the awe-inspiring Piazzale Michelangelo; the famous Uffizi Gallery; the Piazza del Duomo where you will be amazed at the magnificent Florence Cathedral; and the Galleria dell’Accademia, home to Michelangelo’s masterpiece, the statue of David.(1.6英里长的路线包括令人敬畏的米开朗基罗广场；著名的乌菲齐美术馆；大教堂广场，宏伟的佛罗伦萨大教堂令您惊叹不已;还有学院美术馆，这里收藏着米开朗基罗的杰作——大卫雕像)”可知，文章提到塞尔维亚适合步行的路线是这四个景点中最短的。结合选项可知，塞维利亚的步行路线大概有1.1英里。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Porto, Portugal部分提到的“Meander along the Dom Luís I Bridge over the Douro River, head to the Clérigos Church Bell Tower and enjoy a riverfront walking place along the Cais da Ribeira.(沿着杜罗河上的Dom Luís I桥蜿蜒而行，前往Clérigos教堂钟楼，沿着Cais da Ribeira享受河边散步)”可知，在波尔图可以沿着河边散步，而河流最终流入大海，波尔图可能也位于海边。故选C。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章标题“4 Most walkable cities in Europe(四个欧洲最适合步行的城市)”可知，文章主要介绍了四个欧洲最适合步行的城市。由此推知，本文是为了吸引更多的游客来这些城市徒步旅游。故选D。 B In 1999, John Smyth, a high-school teacher decided it was time to retire. Together with his wife Helen, he set off on a journey around Australia. But when they returned, John found he missed the classroom, so he spent another eight years doing casual teaching. Then he heard about a program known as Volunteers for Isolated Students’ Education (VISE), which pairs up energetic people with educational experience, usually retired teachers, with children whose schooling is largely done remotely, because they live too far away from towns and cities to attend regular schools. John grew up in the country and as a kid in the bush, he always dreamed of running with circus, but he didn’t even have much chance to see the circus in person. Therefore he was immediately interested in the program and got a travelling post as a teacher with Stardust Circus. The lesson timetable was built around the kid's performance schedules. “The eight-year-old I tutored was an awesome gymnast who was part of the teeterboard (跷跷板) act,” he explains. “A big guy would jump on the other side, he would swing up in the air, do a couple of twirls (旋转) and land on his uncle’s shoulders, and his uncle was standing on the boy’s father’s shoulders!” The circus still includes some animal acts, including lions, monkeys, horses, goats and pigs. John and his wife Helen found it extraordinary enough to sink into sleep to the sound of lions roaring, but one day the lion-trainer, Matt, gave him a very special privilege, inviting him in to meet four 13-month-old lions in person. While it was understandably a little scary at first, for John it was a never-to-be-forgotten experience, which helped him realize his boyhood dream in his 75th year. 4. What can we know about the children in the Stardust Circus? A. They missed the classroom. B. Most of them lived downtown. C. They were dreaming of travelling. D. They were lacking in regular schooling. 5. What can we learn from the passage? A. John taught the gymnast to perform in the air. B. Teachers of the program had a flexible schedule. C. John’s dream came true as a volunteer in the circus. D. The couple were fed up with the sound of lions roaring. 6. How did John probably feel after meeting the little lions? A. Scared. B. Excited. C. Calm. D. Regretful. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. Running with Circus B. Missing Regular School C. Enjoying Retirement D. Travelling with Animals 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。讲述了退休了的高中教师John参加了VISE项目，通过这个项目，John完成了自己小时候的跑马戏团的梦想。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Then he heard about a program known as Volunteers for Isolated Students’ Education (VISE), which pairs up energetic people with educational experience, usually retired teachers, with children whose schooling is largely done remotely, because they live too far away from towns and cities to attend regular schools.(然后，他听说了一个名为“孤立学生教育志愿者”（VISE）的项目，该项目将有教育经验的精力充沛的人（通常是退休教师）与孩子们配对，因为孩子们住在离城镇太远的地方，无法上正规学校，所以他们的学业基本上是远程完成的。)”可知，孩子们无法上正规学校，他们的学业基本上是远程完成的，因此他们缺乏正规学校教育，故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“John grew up in the country and as a kid in the bush, he always dreamed of running with circus, but he didn’t even have much chance to see the circus in person. (约翰在乡下长大，小时候在灌木丛中，他一直梦想着和马戏团一起巡演，但他甚至没有太多机会亲自去看马戏团。)”和最后一段“While it was understandably a little scary at first, for John it was a never-to-be-forgotten experience, which helped him realize his boyhood dream in his 75th year.(尽管起初有点害怕，但对于John来说，这是一个永远无法忘记的经历，这让他在75岁这一年实现了儿时的梦想。)”可知，在马戏团里，John作为一名志愿者教师，他实现了自己小时候想和马戏团一起巡演的梦想，故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“but one day the lion-trainer, Matt, gave him a very special privilege, inviting him in to meet four 13-month-old lions in person. While it was understandably a little scary at first, for John it was a never-to-be-forgotten experience, which helped him realize his boyhood dream in his 75th year.(但是有一天，训狮员给了他一个特权，邀请他亲自去看4个13个月大的狮子。尽管起初有点害怕，但对于John来说，这是一个永远无法忘记的经历，这让他在75岁这一年实现了儿时的梦想。)”可推知，John亲自看到了狮子，这便让他实现了自己小时候的梦想，因此在看完狮子后，他应该是很激动的，故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“Therefore he was immediately interested in the program and got a travelling post as a teacher with Stardust Circus.(因此，他立刻对这个项目产生了兴趣，并在星空马戏团获得了一个教师的职位。)”以及后文对他跟着马戏团的经历的描写可知，本文主要讲述了退休了的高中教师John参加了VISE项目，通过这个项目，John完成了自己小时候想和马戏团一起巡演的梦想，故A项“与马戏团一起奔跑”符合文章标题，故选A。 C Just as China sets the world pace in e-commerce (电子商务), it’s doing the same for live streaming. More than 100 million viewers watch a live online video event every month. As an e-commerce tool, the live streaming format typically involves a famous person showing a product and answering questions from a digital audience. It takes place in real time (实时) and usually on a smartphone, which accounts for some 95% of e-commerce activity in China. China is filled with live streaming webcasts, much of it non-commercial, such as young people discussing their lives, offering diet tips, etc. But live streaming has also become one of the most cost-effective tools for e-commerce in China. Why are consumers and brands both hugging live streaming? First, there’s a functional advantage to live streaming. It allows experts to show the product being used, to show various techniques, and to point out the results. There’s also a feeling of authenticity (真实性) that comes from live streaming because the audience can interact (互动) with the experts by asking questions in real time. Consumers feel that they are actually handling the product themselves. Instead of picking a product off a shelf, they are now part of the process, shaping the outcome from the convenience of the living room sofa. The best live streaming allows room for a joke, or even a small mistake. After all, this is how friends talk with one another. As consumers grow in experience and taste, they would rather participate in a chat. Live streaming invites the brand into the home in much the same way you would invite a friend. Consumers often feel a sense of empowerment (赋予权力). The brand must react quickly and positively to viewers in real time because consumers have the power to hold them responsible for their products through questions. Live streaming can also be particularly effective for new-to-market brands who do not have the ability to create a buzz because it provides a guarantee that the product is used, accepted and loved. 8. What is the purpose of live streaming as an e-commerce tool? A. To chat with young people about life. B. To promote products on smartphones. C. To offer tips on healthy eating on the web. D. To communicate with audience on the phone. 9. Which of the following is a reason for live streaming’s popularity? A. It allows real-time interaction between customers and the brand. B. It empowers customers to decide who are responsible for products. C. It makes sure that new-to-market brands become best selling goods. D. It offers chances for customers to pick products off shelves by themselves. 10. The underlined phrase “create a buzz” in the last paragraph probably means A. attract the attention of the pubic B. introduce their products effectively C. be responsible for their products D. react quickly and positively to consumers 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. China Is Leading the World in E-commerce B. Differences between Offline Business and Live Streaming C. China’s Live Streaming is Booming — Here’s How It Works D. Want to Experience a New Way of Living? Join in Live Streaming! 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述消费者和品牌喜欢直播的原因。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“ It takes place in real time(实时) and usually on a smartphone, which accounts for some 95% of e-commerce activity in China. ”(它是实时进行的，通常是在智能手机上进行的，占中国电子商务活动的95%左右。)以及第二段最后一句“But live streaming has also become one of the most cost-effective tools for e-commerce in China.”(但直播也已成为中国电子商务最具成本效益的工具之一。)可知，直播作为电商工具是为了推销产品。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“There’s also a feeling of authenticity(真实性) that comes from live streaming because the audience can interact(互动) with the experts by asking questions in real time.”(还有一种来自直播的真实感，因为观众可以通过实时提问与专家互动。)可知，直播受欢迎的原因之一是客户和品牌之间可以实时互动。故选A项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段“because it provides a guarantee that the product is used, accepted and loved.”(因为它保证了产品得到使用、接受和喜爱。)可推测出，刚刚进入市场的品牌没有影响力，故选择直播的方式制造话题，引起顾客的注意。由此可知 “create a buzz”是“吸引注意力”的意思。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“Just as China sets the world pace in e-commerce(电子商务), it’s doing the same for live streaming. ”(正如中国在电子商务方面引领世界步伐一样，直播方面也同样如此。)可知，文章主要讲直播在中国的热度上升，所以C项“China's Live Streaming is Booming-Here’s How It Works(中国的流媒体直播正在蓬勃发展——以下是它是如何运作的)”适合做文章标题。故选C项。 D Imagine walking into your local grocery store on a freezing January day to pick up freshly harvested cabbage, juicy sweet strawberries, and ripe red tomatoes — all of which were harvested at a local farm only hours before you’d arrived. You might be imagining buying that fresh produce from vertical farms where farmers can grow indoors year-round by controlling light, temperature, water, and carbon dioxide levels as well. Generally, fresh produce grown in vertical farms travels only a few miles to reach grocery store shelves compared to conventional produce, which can travel thousands of miles by truck or plane. Beyond providing fresh local produce, vertical agriculture could help increase food production and expand agricultural operations as the world’s population is projected to go beyond 9 billion by 2050. And by that same year, two out of every three people are expected to live in urban areas. Producing fresh greens and vegetables close to these growing urban populations could help meet growing global food demands in an environment ally responsible and sustainable way by reducing distribution chains to offer lower emissions, providing higher-nutrient produce, and completely reducing water usage and run off. Recently, the US Department of Agriculture and Energy held a workshop focusing on vertical agriculture and sustainable urban ecosystems. At this workshop, field experts were responsible for thought-provoking presentations followed by small group discussions focusing on areas such as plant breeding, pest management, and engineering. Workshop team-workers from public and private departments worked together to identify the challenge, needs, and opportunities for vertical farming. A report on this workshop will be produced by research secretaries to help inform depart mental strategic planning efforts for research focus and funding opportunities. Experts are excited about the potential opportunities vertical agriculture presents to address food security. The National Institute for Food and Agriculture also has funding opportunities that could support future vertical agriculture conference and research. Similarly, the Agricultural Research Service is working on a project to increase U. S. Tomato production and quality in green houses and other protected-environments. 12. What is the common characteristic of produced from the vertical agriculture? A. Natural. B. Eco-friendly. C. Inexpensive. D. Low-nutrient. 13. Why does the author mention “urban populations” in Paragraph 2? A. To explain a rule. B. To clarify a definition. C. To present a reason. D. To make a comparison. 14. How does the author introduce the daily routine at the workshop? A. In order of time. B. Via the division of labour. C. In order of importance. D. Via the discussion of problems. 15. What’s the author’s attitude towards vertical farming? A. Favorable. B. Doubtful. C. Curious. D. Worried. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了垂直农业，说明了其特点和优势等情况。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Generally, fresh produce grown in vertical farms travels only a few miles to reach grocery store shelves compared to conventional produce, which can travel thousands of miles by truck or plane.(一般来说，垂直农场种植的新鲜农产品只需几英里就能到达杂货店货架，而传统农产品可以通过卡车或飞机运输数千英里)”以及第二段中“Producing fresh greens and vegetables close to these growing urban populations could help meet growing global food demands in an environment ally responsible and sustainable way by reducing distribution chains to offer lower emissions, providing higher-nutrient produce, and completely reducing water usage and run off.(在接近这些不断增长的城市人口的地方生产新鲜的绿色蔬菜，可以通过减少配送链来提供更低的排放，提供更高营养的产品，并完全减少水的使用和消耗，从而以对环境负责和可持续的方式满足日益增长的全球粮食需求)”可知，垂直农业生产的共同特点是环保。故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Producing fresh greens and vegetables close to these growing urban populations could help meet growing global food demands in an environment ally responsible and sustainable way by reducing distribution chains to offer lower emissions, providing higher-nutrient produce, and completely reducing water usage and run off.(在接近这些不断增长的城市人口的地方生产新鲜的绿色蔬菜，可以通过减少配送链来提供更低的排放，提供更高营养的产品，并完全减少水的使用和消耗，从而以对环境负责和可持续的方式满足日益增长的全球粮食需求)”可推知，作者在第二段提到“城市人口”是为了说明作者推荐垂直农业的理由。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Recently, the US Department of Agriculture and Energy held a workshop focusing on vertical agriculture and sustainable urban ecosystems. At this workshop, field experts were responsible for thought-provoking presentations followed by small group discussions focusing on areas such as plant breeding, pest management, and engineering. Workshop team-workers from public and private departments worked together to identify the challenge, needs, and opportunities for vertical farming. A report on this workshop will be produced by research secretaries to help inform depart mental strategic planning efforts for research focus and funding opportunities.(最近，美国农业和能源部举办了一个关于垂直农业和可持续城市生态系统的研讨会。在这次研讨会上，现场专家们进行了发人深省的演讲，然后进行了小组讨论，重点讨论了植物育种、病虫害管理和工程等领域。来自公共和私人部门的团队工作人员一起工作，确定垂直农业的挑战、需求和机遇。研究秘书将会就研讨会撰写一份报告，以协助部门就研究重点和资助机会作出策略性的精神规划工作)”可推知，作者是通过分工介绍车间的日常工作的。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Beyond providing fresh local produce, vertical agriculture could help increase food production and expand agricultural operations as the world’s population is projected to go beyond 9 billion by 2050.(随着世界人口预计到2050年将超过90亿，除了提供新鲜的本地农产品外，垂直农业还可以帮助增加粮食产量并扩大农业经营)”结合文章主要介绍了垂直农业，说明了其特点和优势等情况。可推知，作者支持垂直农业。故选A。 三、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。 Confidence is a quality that can be highly beneficial in life.

It is true that some people have an easier time with this than others, but don’t let that discourage you. ___17___ So where do you start? You start, according to a blog on Psych Central, with self-acceptance. Being honest with yourself and practicing self-love and self-acceptance is what it is all about. There is nothing to achieve from pretending and there are no easy paths to success. ___18___ The good news is that it’s up to you. Sit with yourself, meditate and journal (冥想和记日记).

E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了培养自信的方法。 【16题详解】 空格前的句子“You may believe that confidence is something people are born with, and you either have it or you don’t. (你可能认为自信是与生俱来的，你要么有，要么没有。)”提到，你可能认为自信是与生俱来的，空格后的句子“Self-confidence is something you can develop.(自信是可以培养的。)”说自信是可以培养的，所以空格处的句子应该否定上一句的观点，所以B项“That’s not necessarily true.(这并不一定正确。)”符合语境。故选B项。 【17题详解】 空格前的句子“It is true that some people have an easier time with this than others, but don’t let that discourage you.(的确，有些人比其他人更容易做到这一点，但不要因此而气馁。)”是说，不要认为比其他人困难而气馁，空格处的句子应该解释原因，所以F项“It’s a muscle that can be strengthened and worked on.(这是一块可以加强和锻炼的肌肉)”符合语境。故选F项。 【18题详解】 根据空格处的句子“There is nothing to achieve from pretending and there are no easy paths to success.(假装什么也得不到，通往成功的道路也没有捷径。)”可知，通往成功的道路也没有捷径，所以需要练习，所以A项“This needs lots of practices.(这需要大量的练习。)”符合语境。故选A项。 【19题详解】 空格前的句子“Sit with yourself, meditate and journal. Think about your strengths and weaknesses, who you are and who you aren’t. Get to know yourself better. And be kind to yourself, like you would be kind to others.(自己坐下来，冥想，写日记。想想你的优点和缺点，你是谁，你不是谁。更好地了解自己。善待自己，就像善待别人一样。)”是培养自信的方法，空格后的句子“You may even start to notice a change in how you connect with others.(你甚至可能开始注意到你与他人交往的方式发生了变化。)”提到这样做的好处，空格处的句子也应该是提到这样练习的好处，所以D项“These practices can be beneficial.(这些做法是有益的。)”符合语境。故选D项。 【20题详解】 根据空格前的句子“Sometimes when working towards a goal, getting some additional help can play an important role.(有时候，在朝着一个目标努力的过程中，获得一些额外的帮助会起到重要的作用。)”和空格后的句子“People that know you well and are there for you can be helpful when you need a reminder of who you are and how unique, special and loved you are.(当你需要提醒自己你是谁，你是多么的独特、特别和被爱的时候，了解你的人会帮助你。)”可知，空格处的句子应该说“和其他人交流，得到他人的帮助”，所以，E项“You can benefit from talking to others.(你可以从与他人交谈中获益。)”填入空格处，符合语境。故选E项。 四、完形填空 My son Nile has left for university.

She had excellent grades and was considered as one of the top students in her school. However, Lily had a rather irritable (易怒的) personality. Because her parents gave her high pressure that she must keep her top place in her school. Her mind was only focused on her grades, leaving little room for anything else. One day, after receiving a lower grade than she expected on an important test. Lily was falling apart. Sad and overwhelmed, she even started considering her failure was due to her parents. She quarreled with her parents and kept them out of her room. Lily’s parents turned to the school teacher Mr. Thompson for help. They poured out all the bad present situations to him. Mr. Thompson was a professional teacher with a deep understanding of the importance of a balanced lifestyle. He recognized that it was Lily’s too much worry about grades that was having a bad effect on her and the parent-child relationships. Mr. Thompson advised Lily’s parents to calm down first. And after school, he approached Lily and gently suggested they go for a run together. At first, Lily refused, saying that it would take her too much time. Besides, she couldn’t understand how running could be beneficial to her academic success. 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。 “Believe me, Lily,” Mr. Thompson said, and finally Lily agreed to give it a try. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Seeing Lily’s change, Mr. Thompson recommended her to give a speech to her classmates. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: “Believe me, Lily,” Mr. Thompson said, and finally Lily agreed to give it a try. For the next six months, Mr. Thompson and Lily would go for a run every day after school. They started with short distances, gradually increasing the length and intensity of their runs. In the beginning, Lily struggled to keep up, but as time went by, she found herself becoming more and more engaged in this practice with Mr. Thompson. As Lily continued her daily runs, something remarkable started to happen. Lily’s once imitable personality slowly began to disappear, and she apologized to her parents for her former rudeness. Her grades remained consistently high with a changed lifestyle. Seeing Lily’s change, Mr. Thompson recommended her to give a speech to her classmates. In her speech, Lily expressed her gratitude to Mr. Thompson who helped her get rid of stress and build a good relationship with her parents. She explained that academic success was just one aspect of the identity and that physical and mental well-being were equally crucial. She said engaging in sports and exercise not only improved her overall health but also enhanced her ability to handle pressure. Through her own change, she encouraged her classmates to join her for runs, advocating the integration of sports into their lives. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了一个名叫Lily的高中生，她因为父母给予的高压力而过于关注学业成绩，导致性格易怒，并因一次考试成绩不理想而情绪低落，与父母产生矛盾。学校老师Mr. Thompson意识到Lily过分担心成绩对她的身心健康和亲子关系产生了负面影响，因此建议Lily的父母冷静下来，并亲自接近Lily，建议她一起去跑步以放松身心。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容““相信我，Lily。”Thompson先生说，最后Lily同意试一试。”可知，第一段可描写Lily坚持跑步以及由此而带来的变化。 ②由第二段首句内容“看到Lily的变化，Thompson先生推荐她给同学做演讲。”可知，第二段可描写Lily演讲的内容并鼓励同学们将运动融入生活。 2.续写线索：坚持跑步——身心发生变化——做演讲——感谢Thompson先生——倡导将运动融入生活 3.词汇激活 行为类 跟上：keep up/catch up 从事于：become engaged in/work on 帮助：help/assist 清理：get rid of/clear up 情绪类 表达感谢：express one’s gratitude to/express one’s appreciation to 鼓励某人做某事：encourage sb to do sth/inspire sb to do sth 【点睛】[高分句型1] As Lily continued her daily runs, something remarkable started to happen.（运用了as引导时间状语从句） [高分句型2] She explained that academic success was just one aspect of the identity and that physical and mental well-being were equally crucial.（运用了that引导宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026年秋9月份高二年级学情调研英语试题 第一节 1.

Venice, Italy Venice is well-known as a heaven for pedestrians (行人), so it’s no surprise it ranks as the second best location for walkable city breaks. There are endless alleyways to explore, as well as plenty of beautiful bridges over the crisscrossing canals that the city is famous for. Just under half an hour of walking here will take you on a tour of the impressive Grand Canal, Doge’s Palace, St Mark’s Square, Basilica and bell tower, all in only 1.3 miles. Porto, Portugal Nestled along Portugal’s picturesque coast, Porto comes in third with its top attractions all covered by a 30-minute walking route.

But when they returned, John found he missed the classroom, so he spent another eight years doing casual teaching. Then he heard about a program known as Volunteers for Isolated Students’ Education (VISE), which pairs up energetic people with educational experience, usually retired teachers, with children whose schooling is largely done remotely, because they live too far away from towns and cities to attend regular schools. John grew up in the country and as a kid in the bush, he always dreamed of running with circus, but he didn’t even have much chance to see the circus in person. Therefore he was immediately interested in the program and got a travelling post as a teacher with Stardust Circus. The lesson timetable was built around the kid's performance schedules. “The eight-year-old I tutored was an awesome gymnast who was part of the teeterboard (跷跷板) act,” he explains. “A big guy would jump on the other side, he would swing up in the air, do a couple of twirls (旋转) and land on his uncle’s shoulders, and his uncle was standing on the boy’s father’s shoulders!” The circus still includes some animal acts, including lions, monkeys, horses, goats and pigs. John and his wife Helen found it extraordinary enough to sink into sleep to the sound of lions roaring, but one day the lion-trainer, Matt, gave him a very special privilege, inviting him in to meet four 13-month-old lions in person. While it was understandably a little scary at first, for John it was a never-to-be-forgotten experience, which helped him realize his boyhood dream in his 75th year. 4. What can we know about the children in the Stardust Circus? A. They missed the classroom. B. Most of them lived downtown. C. They were dreaming of travelling. D. They were lacking in regular schooling. 5. What can we learn from the passage? A. John taught the gymnast to perform in the air. B. Teachers of the program had a flexible schedule. C. John’s dream came true as a volunteer in the circus. D. The couple were fed up with the sound of lions roaring. 6. How did John probably feel after meeting the little lions? A. Scared. B. Excited. C. Calm. D. Regretful. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. Running with Circus B. Missing Regular School C. Enjoying Retirement D. Travelling with Animals C Just as China sets the world pace in e-commerce (电子商务), it’s doing the same for live streaming. More than 100 million viewers watch a live online video event every month. As an e-commerce tool, the live streaming format typically involves a famous person showing a product and answering questions from a digital audience. It takes place in real time (实时) and usually on a smartphone, which accounts for some 95% of e-commerce activity in China. China is filled with live streaming webcasts, much of it non-commercial, such as young people discussing their lives, offering diet tips, etc. But live streaming has also become one of the most cost-effective tools for e-commerce in China. Why are consumers and brands both hugging live streaming? First, there’s a functional advantage to live streaming. It allows experts to show the product being used, to show various techniques, and to point out the results. There’s also a feeling of authenticity (真实性) that comes from live streaming because the audience can interact (互动) with the experts by asking questions in real time. Consumers feel that they are actually handling the product themselves. Instead of picking a product off a shelf, they are now part of the process, shaping the outcome from the convenience of the living room sofa. The best live streaming allows room for a joke, or even a small mistake. After all, this is how friends talk with one another. As consumers grow in experience and taste, they would rather participate in a chat. Live streaming invites the brand into the home in much the same way you would invite a friend. Consumers often feel a sense of empowerment (赋予权力). The brand must react quickly and positively to viewers in real time because consumers have the power to hold them responsible for their products through questions. Live streaming can also be particularly effective for new-to-market brands who do not have the ability to create a buzz because it provides a guarantee that the product is used, accepted and loved. 8. What is the purpose of live streaming as an e-commerce tool? A. To chat with young people about life. B. To promote products on smartphones. C. To offer tips on healthy eating on the web. D. To communicate with audience on the phone. 9. Which of the following is a reason for live streaming’s popularity? A. It allows real-time interaction between customers and the brand. B. It empowers customers to decide who are responsible for products. C. It makes sure that new-to-market brands become best selling goods. D. It offers chances for customers to pick products off shelves by themselves. 10. The underlined phrase “create a buzz” in the last paragraph probably means A. attract the attention of the pubic B. introduce their products effectively C. be responsible for their products D. react quickly and positively to consumers 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. China Is Leading the World in E-commerce B. Differences between Offline Business and Live Streaming C. China’s Live Streaming is Booming — Here’s How It Works D. Want to Experience a New Way of Living? Join in Live Streaming! D Imagine walking into your local grocery store on a freezing January day to pick up freshly harvested cabbage, juicy sweet strawberries, and ripe red tomatoes — all of which were harvested at a local farm only hours before you’d arrived. You might be imagining buying that fresh produce from vertical farms where farmers can grow indoors year-round by controlling light, temperature, water, and carbon dioxide levels as well. Generally, fresh produce grown in vertical farms travels only a few miles to reach grocery store shelves compared to conventional produce, which can travel thousands of miles by truck or plane. Beyond providing fresh local produce, vertical agriculture could help increase food production and expand agricultural operations as the world’s population is projected to go beyond 9 billion by 2050. And by that same year, two out of every three people are expected to live in urban areas. Producing fresh greens and vegetables close to these growing urban populations could help meet growing global food demands in an environment ally responsible and sustainable way by reducing distribution chains to offer lower emissions, providing higher-nutrient produce, and completely reducing water usage and run off. Recently, the US Department of Agriculture and Energy held a workshop focusing on vertical agriculture and sustainable urban ecosystems. At this workshop, field experts were responsible for thought-provoking presentations followed by small group discussions focusing on areas such as plant breeding, pest management, and engineering. Workshop team-workers from public and private departments worked together to identify the challenge, needs, and opportunities for vertical farming. A report on this workshop will be produced by research secretaries to help inform depart mental strategic planning efforts for research focus and funding opportunities. Experts are excited about the potential opportunities vertical agriculture presents to address food security. The National Institute for Food and Agriculture also has funding opportunities that could support future vertical agriculture conference and research. Similarly, the Agricultural Research Service is working on a project to increase U. S. Tomato production and quality in green houses and other protected-environments. 12. What is the common characteristic of produced from the vertical agriculture? A. Natural. B. Eco-friendly. C. Inexpensive. D. Low-nutrient. 13. Why does the author mention “urban populations” in Paragraph 2? A. To explain a rule. B. To clarify a definition. C. To present a reason. D. To make a comparison. 14. How does the author introduce the daily routine at the workshop? A. In order of time. B. Via the division of labour. C. In order of importance. D. Via the discussion of problems. 15. What’s the author’s attitude towards vertical farming? A. Favorable. B. Doubtful. C. Curious. D. Worried. 三、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。 Confidence is a quality that can be highly beneficial in life.

She had excellent grades and was considered as one of the top students in her school. However, Lily had a rather irritable (易怒的) personality. Because her parents gave her high pressure that she must keep her top place in her school. Her mind was only focused on her grades, leaving little room for anything else. One day, after receiving a lower grade than she expected on an important test. Lily was falling apart. Sad and overwhelmed, she even started considering her failure was due to her parents. She quarreled with her parents and kept them out of her room. Lily’s parents turned to the school teacher Mr. Thompson for help. They poured out all the bad present situations to him. Mr. Thompson was a professional teacher with a deep understanding of the importance of a balanced lifestyle. He recognized that it was Lily’s too much worry about grades that was having a bad effect on her and the parent-child relationships. Mr. Thompson advised Lily’s parents to calm down first. And after school, he approached Lily and gently suggested they go for a run together. At first, Lily refused, saying that it would take her too much time. Besides, she couldn’t understand how running could be beneficial to her academic success. 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。 “Believe me, Lily,” Mr. Thompson said, and finally Lily agreed to give it a try. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Seeing Lily’s change, Mr. Thompson recommended her to give a speech to her classmates. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
