B Saahil Mehta, a 40-year-old Indian living in the United Arab Emirates, believes in gifting his two children, Yuvraj, 8 and Alisha, 6, experiences rather than material possessions (东西) to celebrate special occasions. This could be in the form of a visit to a theme park or a staycation in a new hotel. “As a result, their desire to buy things has gone down. This is our way of addressing their basic needs,” said Mehta. In December 2019, Mehta took the family to visit the Indian city of Dharamshala where they spent time with poor children in a school. This was an eye-opener for Alisha and Yuvraj, as they realised that what was normal for them was a treat for those kids. “For those kids, it is a blessing (幸福) to be able to attend school. This experience taught my kids to count their blessings,” said Mehta. During the holiday, the Mehta family gave away pens and pencils to 250 children. This helped Alisha and Yuvraj understand the cost difference in schooling. “They notice how much we spend on their education. The difference in costs helped them make a comparison,” explained Mehta. Back home, the kids are encouraged to do basic housework like making their beds, opening curtains, etc. But Mehta never gives them money for doing those things. This way, they are taught that everyone has to chip in to keep the household running. When they do other tasks beyond the essentials, like massaging the mother’s shoulders, etc., Mehta pays them a small amount. Pointing out a weakness in the education system, Mehta said children don’t get any experience in financial literacy (知识) until they attend university. The father is planning to introduce the concept of a family bank to his children. He also wants his children to pay attention to financial pitfalls such as spending beyond their means, too much use of credit cards, etc. He has set a plan on how money will be spent on some needs. It’s up to his children to use the money carefully. 24．What do we know about Mehta’s way of gifting his children? A．It isn’t really to their liking. B．It changes the way they buy things. C．It allows him to connect with them. D．It teaches them about spending money wisely. 25．What did Mehta’s children learn during the visit to Dharamshala? A．They should appreciate what they have. B．They should make friends with the poor. C．They should cut the cost of their education. D．They should treat different people differently. 26．Why did Mehta refuse to pay his children for doing housework? A．To warn that they must work hard to make money. B．To show that it’s what they’re supposed to do. C．To encourage them to be selfless and careful. D．To force them to develop a good habit. 27．What is the problem with the education system according to Mehta? A．It doesn’t prepare children for money management. B．It doesn’t suggest the importance of saving money. C．It doesn’t encourage children to pay with cash. D．It doesn’t teach children ways to make money. C Young people are perhaps better­known for spending money than saving it. But some new banking websites are seeking to change that.These websites offer young people the information and tools they need to watch over their money. The websites also let the users share their financial experiences with other young people. Nineteen­year­old Alix Scott has been working at a store this summer. She is saving money to pay for college next year.“I have to save for all my college money because my parents can’t afford to co­sign on loans. So, I have to rely on my own savings.” But instead of putting her money in a local bank, Miss Scott began using SmartyPig, a web­based banking service. SmartPig was developed by Michael Ferrari with a friend in 2007. It is really all about helping people save for very specific goals, such as a wedding, a vacation or an iPhone. Michael Ferrari said: “For example, you want to save five thousand dollars for a vacation in three years. SmartyPig will actually calculate how much money you need to save every month. You don’t have to move from your existing bank, we’ll actually go in and withdraw those funds on the day you specify every month and we’ll put it into your SmartyPig account, where it’ll earn interest, as well.” SmartyPig also enables outsiders to add money to the accounts of its users. “Perhaps a holiday is coming up or your birthday is coming up, and rather than getting a gift, your friends, your family can actually contribute to any of your SmartyPig goals.” Mr.Ferrari said. He believes that as technology continues to develop, more and more people will use the electronic banking sites. A growing number of young people have shown an interest in online banking sites like SmartyPig. They say they like the ease of operation and services the sites offer. These personal finance websites offer tools that help users follow their spending, set up a budget, and combine their investments. And they all involve social media, which interests young adults who are already at ease about sharing their personal information online. 28．What do we know about SmartyPig? A．It was created in 2008. B．It offers the best rate. C．It was founded by Michael Ferrari alone. D．It is a tool for helping consumers save money. 29．According to the text, users of SmartyPig ________. A．can share their experiences of saving money B．need to put their money in their SmartyPig account C．have access to low rate loans D．Can often receive free gifts from SmartyPig 30．The last paragraph mainly talks about________. A．how to save money on SmartyPig B．why young people like online banking sites C．what SmartyPig should do to improve its services D．how online banking sites differ from traditional banks 31．Which of the following is TRUE of Alix Scott? A．She can’t afford her college education. B．She has received a student loan. C．She prefers online banking services to local banks. D．She has been working part­time at weekends. D In the past decade, the use of social media has grown in a way that no one could have guessed. It has turned some teenagers into celebrities (名人) and turned the famous into the infamous, overnight. A key feature of social media, however, is its volatility. Trends come and go, disappearing almost as quickly as they appeared. So, what were the key social media trends of 2019? Short video apps such as TikTok and its Chinese equivalent Douyin, took the world by storm. The Telegraph reported that TikTok was ranked 8th on Apple’s App Store in April. And Douyin had more than 300 million domestic monthly active users in June, CNBC said. Why are these short videos — which are rarely longer than a few minutes — so popular? Jiang Yige, Singapore-based analyst at FengHe Fund Management, has a theory. Short videos are “just right to fill in the little gaps in our busy schedules”, he told CNBC． These videos — apart from being very convenient — are important to teenagers because they allow them to express themselves, according to Teen Vogue. The sense of community that users of short video apps get is another appealing feature. Liza Koshy, a user of the US app Musically who has over 2 million followers, said that she was thrilled when anyone said that her video had “inspired” him. “It’s really cool...because I think that as short video creators that’s what we all expect,” she added. Live streaming is another feature of our social media life that now seems as natural as sunrise. It’s a pretty neat idea: You can watch anyone, anywhere, live. However, China has taken live streaming to a whole new level. In China, more than 100 million viewers monthly watch a live streaming video. Forbes thought that a number of factors had led to the popularity of live streams. Among them is viewers’ ability to interact while remaining anonymous. However, the boom in social media may be having side effects too. Fake news is one serious problem it arguably causes. Material shared on these platforms is often not checked for accuracy. The most basic content can be false and can sway users one way or another. We use social media all the time; that doesn’t mean that we understand the influence it is having on us. We should be mindful of both the time we spend on it and its impact on our minds. 32．The underlined word “volatility” in Paragraph 2 possibly means “being 　　　”. A．changeable B．steady C．promising D．violent 33．According to Liza Koshy, short videos are very popular because 　　　. A．they are very convenient B．they help people kill time C．they provide a sense of community D．they allow people to express themselves 34．What can we learn about social media from the text? A．The information from social media is highly reliable. B．When it comes to social media, people know short videos the best. C．People can’t communicate with each other without social media. D．There is still much room for social media to make improvement. 35．What is the best title for the text? A．Rapid Development of Social Media B．Key Social Media Trends of 2019 C．Short Videos Taking the World by Storm D．Live Streaming — A New Feature of Social Media 第二节（共5小题：每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分） 阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Being responsible is universally agreed to be one of the keys to success. 36 Instead, it takes a long time for kids to develop this difficult yet beautiful habit. So, how should parents teach their kids to be responsible for their duties? ·Start early. If you haven’t taught your kids responsibility, you can’t suddenly blame them for acting irresponsibly. Begin teaching responsibility when your kid is very young. 37 ·Guide your children. It’s important for a parent to understand kids’skill level and give them tasks suitable for the skill level. 38 First, show your kids where the watering pot is kept and then show how the plants are watered. Also, explain why plants need regular watering. Even your kids can help out as long as you guide them carefully. ·Talk about responsibility. 39 Children who hear this word from an early age also quickly understand the meaning of responsibility. When you give your kids tasks, be sure to tell them that it’s their “responsibility” to complete the tasks. · 40 The best way your kids will learn to act responsibly is by observing you and other family members. Show your responsibility by acting in a responsible manner at all times in front of your children. By observing your actions your kids will slowly learn to be responsible. A．Be a role model. B．Avoid constant rewards. C．Unfortunately, responsibility can’t be learnt overnight. D．Your praise will go a long way in making your kids responsible. E．The earlier you start off, the sooner you can teach your kids to be responsible. F．Child experts often recommend parents to use the word “responsibility” in front of kids. G．For example, you can give your 5-year-old kid the responsibility of watering the plants. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Vicky Umodu from Colton in California was setting up her new home.

The sun was coming out from the clouds, casting a warm light over the park. Amy was running along the winding path, her feet hitting the ground in a steady rhythm. She loves running because she believes that after a tough week at work, it could not only exercise her body but also free her mind from stress and exhaustion. Every Sunday, the park was alive with activities. Children were chasing each other on the grass. Elderly people were practicing tai chi in slow, graceful movements. Young couples were walking hand in hand by the lake. Amy breathed deeply, taking in the fresh smell of flowers. Her steps felt light and her heart was at peace. Everything felt perfect. Suddenly, a sharp cry cut through the morning calm. Amy slowed down and saw a crowd gathering near the fountain, their faces filled with panic. She ran toward them, pushing through the circle of people. An old woman was lying on the ground, her face pale and her lips slightly purple. Beside her, another elderly woman was shouting, “She’s having a heart attack! Please help her!” People stood frozen, some dialing emergency numbers, but no one gave her a hand. Amy’s mind raced. Her friend Harriet, a nurse at the city hospital, had once asked her to attend a public welfare activity for CPR (心肺复苏) training in her community three months ago. She remembered rolling her eyes at the practice dummy (假人), whispering to Harriet that she would never need such boring knowledge. Never in her wildest dreams had she imagined facing a real emergency like this. At that time, she was more interested in the small gifts provided than the training itself. Now, staring at the struggling woman, whose breath grew weaker and eyes began to roll back, Amy knew she was the only hope. Taking a deep breath, she forced her shaking legs to move forward, her heart beating wildly as if jumping out of her chest, and explained that she had learned CPR. 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。 “Let me try,” Amy placed her hands on the old woman’s chest. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As Amy’s strength was fading, she noticed the ambulance arriving. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司1 / 23 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。My friends and I are going to marries cafe after school.

I did too. I wanted to cry because I paid to watch IT. Listen to the next question. The summer vacation, a new delhi, begins on main first every year, much before IT began, we started planning how to spend IT. I suggested that we should go to sure long, but my sister insisted that we see darkling. My father decided that we would go to both places with one month stay at each place. So IT was decided that we would be going first to share long and then to darkling. We left the new delhi railway station four days after the vacation began. IT was a very long and tiring journey. The train reached gwa hari in the evening. The next day, early in the morning, we drove to so long, we stayed there for nearly a month in the hotel. The climate was no doubt cool and pleasant, but there were very few places of interest we like alone. On june fourth, on our way darkling, we traveled by train. We saw thick forests and beautiful tea gardens. We reached dirge laying at about noon, we took a taxi and went to a hotel where reservations had been earlier arranged by my father. One day, we went to the tiger hills by taxi at four AM to enjoy the famous sunrise. IT was a wonderful site, which we had never seen before.

Between the two activities, I would choose the English Song Competition. For one thing, singing English songs is an easy way to polish our pronunciation and accumulate vocabulary. For another, it creates a relaxing atmosphere, encouraging more shy students to participate. Unlike storytelling, it combines fun with language learning perfectly. I firmly believe it will make our English Week more attractive and memorable. Yours, Li Hua Dear Jenny, I really like the idea of hosting an English Week. As for the two activities, I prefer English Storytelling. It can greatly strengthen our logical thinking and oral English competence. When preparing stories, we gain access to various cultural knowledge. Moreover, sharing stories with classmates deepens communication. It helps us apply English flexibly, which benefits our long-term English study more. Yours, Li Hua 67．例文 “Let me try,” Amy placed her hands on the old woman’s chest. She tried her best to recall every step of CPR she had learned in the training, pressing down on the chest steadily with the correct strength and rhythm. After several cycles, Amy bent down to give rescue breaths. Sweat ran down her face, but she didn’t stop. The crowd held their breath and watched silently, their anxious eyes fixed on the pale face beneath her. After what felt like forever, the old woman coughed weakly, and Amy’s heart leaped with hope. Just then, a sound of an ambulance grew louder. As Amy’s strength was fading, she noticed the ambulance arriving. The paramedics rushed to the old woman and took over the rescue work. Amy stepped back, her legs worn out, but she kept her eyes on the old woman. Within minutes, the woman’s color slowly returned, and she began to breathe steadily. A medic patted Amy’s shoulder and said, “You saved her.” All the people around broke into cheers. At that moment, Amy realized every small skill we learn, even if we think it useless at first, can be a bright light to pull others out of danger one day. 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司1 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $………………○………………外………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… ………………○………………内………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… 此卷只装订不密封 ………………○………………内………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… ………………○………………外………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… … 学校：______________姓名：_____________班级：_______________考号：______________________ 2026-2027学年高二选择性必修第二册英语单元自测 Unit 2 Improving Yourself·单元自测卷 学校:___________班级：___________姓名：___________分数：___________ （时间：120分钟，满分：150分） 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，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1.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1． Where does the conversation take place?

B Saahil Mehta, a 40-year-old Indian living in the United Arab Emirates, believes in gifting his two children, Yuvraj, 8 and Alisha, 6, experiences rather than material possessions (东西) to celebrate special occasions. This could be in the form of a visit to a theme park or a staycation in a new hotel. “As a result, their desire to buy things has gone down. This is our way of addressing their basic needs,” said Mehta. In December 2019, Mehta took the family to visit the Indian city of Dharamshala where they spent time with poor children in a school. This was an eye-opener for Alisha and Yuvraj, as they realised that what was normal for them was a treat for those kids. “For those kids, it is a blessing (幸福) to be able to attend school. This experience taught my kids to count their blessings,” said Mehta. During the holiday, the Mehta family gave away pens and pencils to 250 children. This helped Alisha and Yuvraj understand the cost difference in schooling. “They notice how much we spend on their education. The difference in costs helped them make a comparison,” explained Mehta. Back home, the kids are encouraged to do basic housework like making their beds, opening curtains, etc. But Mehta never gives them money for doing those things. This way, they are taught that everyone has to chip in to keep the household running. When they do other tasks beyond the essentials, like massaging the mother’s shoulders, etc., Mehta pays them a small amount. Pointing out a weakness in the education system, Mehta said children don’t get any experience in financial literacy (知识) until they attend university. The father is planning to introduce the concept of a family bank to his children. He also wants his children to pay attention to financial pitfalls such as spending beyond their means, too much use of credit cards, etc. He has set a plan on how money will be spent on some needs. It’s up to his children to use the money carefully. 24．What do we know about Mehta’s way of gifting his children? A．It isn’t really to their liking. B．It changes the way they buy things. C．It allows him to connect with them. D．It teaches them about spending money wisely. 25．What did Mehta’s children learn during the visit to Dharamshala? A．They should appreciate what they have. B．They should make friends with the poor. C．They should cut the cost of their education. D．They should treat different people differently. 26．Why did Mehta refuse to pay his children for doing housework? A．To warn that they must work hard to make money. B．To show that it’s what they’re supposed to do. C．To encourage them to be selfless and careful. D．To force them to develop a good habit. 27．What is the problem with the education system according to Mehta? A．It doesn’t prepare children for money management. B．It doesn’t suggest the importance of saving money. C．It doesn’t encourage children to pay with cash. D．It doesn’t teach children ways to make money. C Young people are perhaps better­known for spending money than saving it. But some new banking websites are seeking to change that.These websites offer young people the information and tools they need to watch over their money. The websites also let the users share their financial experiences with other young people. Nineteen­year­old Alix Scott has been working at a store this summer. She is saving money to pay for college next year.“I have to save for all my college money because my parents can’t afford to co­sign on loans. So, I have to rely on my own savings.” But instead of putting her money in a local bank, Miss Scott began using SmartyPig, a web­based banking service. SmartPig was developed by Michael Ferrari with a friend in 2007. It is really all about helping people save for very specific goals, such as a wedding, a vacation or an iPhone. Michael Ferrari said: “For example, you want to save five thousand dollars for a vacation in three years. SmartyPig will actually calculate how much money you need to save every month. You don’t have to move from your existing bank, we’ll actually go in and withdraw those funds on the day you specify every month and we’ll put it into your SmartyPig account, where it’ll earn interest, as well.” SmartyPig also enables outsiders to add money to the accounts of its users. “Perhaps a holiday is coming up or your birthday is coming up, and rather than getting a gift, your friends, your family can actually contribute to any of your SmartyPig goals.” Mr.Ferrari said. He believes that as technology continues to develop, more and more people will use the electronic banking sites. A growing number of young people have shown an interest in online banking sites like SmartyPig. They say they like the ease of operation and services the sites offer. These personal finance websites offer tools that help users follow their spending, set up a budget, and combine their investments. And they all involve social media, which interests young adults who are already at ease about sharing their personal information online. 28．What do we know about SmartyPig? A．It was created in 2008. B．It offers the best rate. C．It was founded by Michael Ferrari alone. D．It is a tool for helping consumers save money. 29．According to the text, users of SmartyPig ________. A．can share their experiences of saving money B．need to put their money in their SmartyPig account C．have access to low rate loans D．Can often receive free gifts from SmartyPig 30．The last paragraph mainly talks about________. A．how to save money on SmartyPig B．why young people like online banking sites C．what SmartyPig should do to improve its services D．how online banking sites differ from traditional banks 31．Which of the following is TRUE of Alix Scott? A．She can’t afford her college education. B．She has received a student loan. C．She prefers online banking services to local banks. D．She has been working part­time at weekends. D In the past decade, the use of social media has grown in a way that no one could have guessed. It has turned some teenagers into celebrities (名人) and turned the famous into the infamous, overnight. A key feature of social media, however, is its volatility. Trends come and go, disappearing almost as quickly as they appeared. So, what were the key social media trends of 2019? Short video apps such as TikTok and its Chinese equivalent Douyin, took the world by storm. The Telegraph reported that TikTok was ranked 8th on Apple’s App Store in April. And Douyin had more than 300 million domestic monthly active users in June, CNBC said. Why are these short videos — which are rarely longer than a few minutes — so popular? Jiang Yige, Singapore-based analyst at FengHe Fund Management, has a theory. Short videos are “just right to fill in the little gaps in our busy schedules”, he told CNBC． These videos — apart from being very convenient — are important to teenagers because they allow them to express themselves, according to Teen Vogue. The sense of community that users of short video apps get is another appealing feature. Liza Koshy, a user of the US app Musically who has over 2 million followers, said that she was thrilled when anyone said that her video had “inspired” him. “It’s really cool...because I think that as short video creators that’s what we all expect,” she added. Live streaming is another feature of our social media life that now seems as natural as sunrise. It’s a pretty neat idea: You can watch anyone, anywhere, live. However, China has taken live streaming to a whole new level. In China, more than 100 million viewers monthly watch a live streaming video. Forbes thought that a number of factors had led to the popularity of live streams. Among them is viewers’ ability to interact while remaining anonymous. However, the boom in social media may be having side effects too. Fake news is one serious problem it arguably causes. Material shared on these platforms is often not checked for accuracy. The most basic content can be false and can sway users one way or another. We use social media all the time; that doesn’t mean that we understand the influence it is having on us. We should be mindful of both the time we spend on it and its impact on our minds. 32．The underlined word “volatility” in Paragraph 2 possibly means “being 　　　”. A．changeable B．steady C．promising D．violent 33．According to Liza Koshy, short videos are very popular because 　　　. A．they are very convenient B．they help people kill time C．they provide a sense of community D．they allow people to express themselves 34．What can we learn about social media from the text? A．The information from social media is highly reliable. B．When it comes to social media, people know short videos the best. C．People can’t communicate with each other without social media. D．There is still much room for social media to make improvement. 35．What is the best title for the text? A．Rapid Development of Social Media B．Key Social Media Trends of 2019 C．Short Videos Taking the World by Storm D．Live Streaming — A New Feature of Social Media 第二节（共5小题：每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分） 阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Being responsible is universally agreed to be one of the keys to success. 36 Instead, it takes a long time for kids to develop this difficult yet beautiful habit. So, how should parents teach their kids to be responsible for their duties? ·Start early. If you haven’t taught your kids responsibility, you can’t suddenly blame them for acting irresponsibly. Begin teaching responsibility when your kid is very young. 37 ·Guide your children. It’s important for a parent to understand kids’skill level and give them tasks suitable for the skill level. 38 First, show your kids where the watering pot is kept and then show how the plants are watered. Also, explain why plants need regular watering. Even your kids can help out as long as you guide them carefully. ·Talk about responsibility. 39 Children who hear this word from an early age also quickly understand the meaning of responsibility. When you give your kids tasks, be sure to tell them that it’s their “responsibility” to complete the tasks. · 40 The best way your kids will learn to act responsibly is by observing you and other family members. Show your responsibility by acting in a responsible manner at all times in front of your children. By observing your actions your kids will slowly learn to be responsible. A．Be a role model. B．Avoid constant rewards. C．Unfortunately, responsibility can’t be learnt overnight. D．Your praise will go a long way in making your kids responsible. E．The earlier you start off, the sooner you can teach your kids to be responsible. F．Child experts often recommend parents to use the word “responsibility” in front of kids. G．For example, you can give your 5-year-old kid the responsibility of watering the plants. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Vicky Umodu from Colton in California was setting up her new home.

The sun was coming out from the clouds, casting a warm light over the park. Amy was running along the winding path, her feet hitting the ground in a steady rhythm. She loves running because she believes that after a tough week at work, it could not only exercise her body but also free her mind from stress and exhaustion. Every Sunday, the park was alive with activities. Children were chasing each other on the grass. Elderly people were practicing tai chi in slow, graceful movements. Young couples were walking hand in hand by the lake. Amy breathed deeply, taking in the fresh smell of flowers. Her steps felt light and her heart was at peace. Everything felt perfect. Suddenly, a sharp cry cut through the morning calm. Amy slowed down and saw a crowd gathering near the fountain, their faces filled with panic. She ran toward them, pushing through the circle of people. An old woman was lying on the ground, her face pale and her lips slightly purple. Beside her, another elderly woman was shouting, “She’s having a heart attack! Please help her!” People stood frozen, some dialing emergency numbers, but no one gave her a hand. Amy’s mind raced. Her friend Harriet, a nurse at the city hospital, had once asked her to attend a public welfare activity for CPR (心肺复苏) training in her community three months ago. She remembered rolling her eyes at the practice dummy (假人), whispering to Harriet that she would never need such boring knowledge. Never in her wildest dreams had she imagined facing a real emergency like this. At that time, she was more interested in the small gifts provided than the training itself. Now, staring at the struggling woman, whose breath grew weaker and eyes began to roll back, Amy knew she was the only hope.

I suggested that we should go to Shillong. But my sister insisted that we see Darjeeling. My father decided that we would go to both places with one month’s stay at each place. So, it was decided that we would be going first to Shillong and then to Darjeeling. We left the New Delhi Railway Station four days after the vacation began. It was a very long and tiring journey. The train reached Guwahati in the evening. The next day, early in the morning we drove to Shillong. We stayed there for nearly a month in the hotel. The climate was no doubt cool and pleasant, but there were very few places of interest. We left Shillong on June 4th. On our way to Darjeeling, we traveled by train. We saw thick forests and beautiful tea gardens. We reached Darjeeling at about noon. We took a taxi and went to a hotel where reservations had been earlier arranged by my father. One day we went to the Tiger Hills by taxi at 4 a.m. to enjoy the famous sunrise. It was a wonderful sight which we had never seen before. And that was the last day of our vacation. 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A Are you looking for ways to better manage your well-being using your smartphone?

Here are four free and highly recommended health apps that can turn your phone into a personal health manager.(你是否正在寻找通过智能手机更好地管理自身健康的方法？以下是四款免费且广受推荐的健康应用，能让你的手机变成个人健康管理助手)”以及本文推荐四款免费健康手机应用，分别可查医学术语、学习急救知识、监测心率、记录饮食热量，并介绍了各款应用的功能与特点。可知，文章选自一本生活方式或科技杂志。 B Saahil Mehta, a 40-year-old Indian living in the United Arab Emirates, believes in gifting his two children, Yuvraj, 8 and Alisha, 6, experiences rather than material possessions (东西) to celebrate special occasions. This could be in the form of a visit to a theme park or a staycation in a new hotel. “As a result, their desire to buy things has gone down. This is our way of addressing their basic needs,” said Mehta. In December 2019, Mehta took the family to visit the Indian city of Dharamshala where they spent time with poor children in a school. This was an eye-opener for Alisha and Yuvraj, as they realised that what was normal for them was a treat for those kids. “For those kids, it is a blessing (幸福) to be able to attend school. This experience taught my kids to count their blessings,” said Mehta. During the holiday, the Mehta family gave away pens and pencils to 250 children. This helped Alisha and Yuvraj understand the cost difference in schooling. “They notice how much we spend on their education. The difference in costs helped them make a comparison,” explained Mehta. Back home, the kids are encouraged to do basic housework like making their beds, opening curtains, etc. But Mehta never gives them money for doing those things. This way, they are taught that everyone has to chip in to keep the household running. When they do other tasks beyond the essentials, like massaging the mother’s shoulders, etc., Mehta pays them a small amount. Pointing out a weakness in the education system, Mehta said children don’t get any experience in financial literacy (知识) until they attend university. The father is planning to introduce the concept of a family bank to his children. He also wants his children to pay attention to financial pitfalls such as spending beyond their means, too much use of credit cards, etc. He has set a plan on how money will be spent on some needs. It’s up to his children to use the money carefully. 24．What do we know about Mehta’s way of gifting his children? A．It isn’t really to their liking. B．It changes the way they buy things. C．It allows him to connect with them. D．It teaches them about spending money wisely. 25．What did Mehta’s children learn during the visit to Dharamshala? A．They should appreciate what they have. B．They should make friends with the poor. C．They should cut the cost of their education. D．They should treat different people differently. 26．Why did Mehta refuse to pay his children for doing housework? A．To warn that they must work hard to make money. B．To show that it’s what they’re supposed to do. C．To encourage them to be selfless and careful. D．To force them to develop a good habit. 27．What is the problem with the education system according to Mehta? A．It doesn’t prepare children for money management. B．It doesn’t suggest the importance of saving money. C．It doesn’t encourage children to pay with cash. D．It doesn’t teach children ways to make money. 【答案】24．D 25．A 26．B 27．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了一位居住在阿联酋的印度父亲，如何通过给予孩子体验式礼物来培养他们的价值观，而不是传统的物质礼物。这位父亲注重培养孩子的价值观和财务意识。 【详解】24．细节理解题。根据第一段“Saahil Mehta, a 40-year-old Indian living in the United Arab Emirates, believes in gifting his two children, Yuvraj, 8 and Alisha, 6, experiences rather than material possessions ( 东西) to celebrate special occasions. This could be in the form of a visit to a theme park or a staycation in a new hotel.( Saahil Mehta是一位居住在阿联酋的40岁印度人，他认为在庆祝特殊场合时，给他的两个孩子，8岁的Yuvraj和6岁的Alisha，提供体验式礼物而不是物质礼物是有意义的。这可能包括去主题公园游玩或者在新酒店度过一段假期。)”以及第二段中“As a result, their desire to buy things has gone down. This is our way of addressing their basic needs(因此，他们购买东西的欲望下降了。这是我们解决他们基本需求的方式)”可知，Mehta 在庆祝一些特殊的日子时，不会送孩子们物质的东西。他可能会带孩子们去主题公园游玩或者在家附近新开的酒店度假。他的这种做法让孩子们没那么看重物质的东西，自然，他们会觉得没必要花钱去购买非必需品。故选D。 25．推理判断题。由第三段中的“This was an eye-opener for Alisha and Yuvraj, as they realised that what was normal for them was a treat for those kids. (这让Alisha和Yuvraj大开眼界，因为他们意识到，对他们来说很正常的事情，对那些孩子来说却是一种享受。)”以及本段中““For those kids, it is a blessing ( 幸福) to be able to attend school. This experience taught my kids to count their blessings,” said Mehta.(“对这些孩子来说，能够上学是一种福气。这次经历教会了我的孩子们要珍惜自己的幸福。”Mehta说)”可知，这次旅行让Mehta的孩子们意识到他们拥有很多东西，他们应该感恩。故选A。 26．细节理解题。倒数第二段中“But Mehta never gives them money for doing those things. This way, they are taught that everyone has to chip in to keep the household running. (但Mehta从不给他们钱。通过这种方式，他们被教导每个人都必须出力来维持家庭的运转。)”可知，Mehta拒绝给他的孩子做家务的钱，其目的是让孩子们意识到自己是家庭的一员，有义务去做家务。故选B。 27．推理判断题。由最后一段中的“Pointing out a weakness in the education system, Mehta said children don’t get any experience in financial literacy (知识) until they attend university. (Mehta指出了教育系统的一个弱点，他说，孩子们在上大学之前没有任何金融知识的经验。)”可知，在当前的教育体制下，孩子们从小理财知识匮乏，即教育体系不会让孩子们为理财做好准备。故选A。 C Young people are perhaps better­known for spending money than saving it. But some new banking websites are seeking to change that.These websites offer young people the information and tools they need to watch over their money. The websites also let the users share their financial experiences with other young people. Nineteen­year­old Alix Scott has been working at a store this summer. She is saving money to pay for college next year.“I have to save for all my college money because my parents can’t afford to co­sign on loans. So, I have to rely on my own savings.” But instead of putting her money in a local bank, Miss Scott began using SmartyPig, a web­based banking service. SmartPig was developed by Michael Ferrari with a friend in 2007. It is really all about helping people save for very specific goals, such as a wedding, a vacation or an iPhone. Michael Ferrari said: “For example, you want to save five thousand dollars for a vacation in three years. SmartyPig will actually calculate how much money you need to save every month. You don’t have to move from your existing bank, we’ll actually go in and withdraw those funds on the day you specify every month and we’ll put it into your SmartyPig account, where it’ll earn interest, as well.” SmartyPig also enables outsiders to add money to the accounts of its users. “Perhaps a holiday is coming up or your birthday is coming up, and rather than getting a gift, your friends, your family can actually contribute to any of your SmartyPig goals.” Mr.Ferrari said. He believes that as technology continues to develop, more and more people will use the electronic banking sites. A growing number of young people have shown an interest in online banking sites like SmartyPig. They say they like the ease of operation and services the sites offer. These personal finance websites offer tools that help users follow their spending, set up a budget, and combine their investments. And they all involve social media, which interests young adults who are already at ease about sharing their personal information online. 28．What do we know about SmartyPig? A．It was created in 2008. B．It offers the best rate. C．It was founded by Michael Ferrari alone. D．It is a tool for helping consumers save money. 29．According to the text, users of SmartyPig ________. A．can share their experiences of saving money B．need to put their money in their SmartyPig account C．have access to low rate loans D．Can often receive free gifts from SmartyPig 30．The last paragraph mainly talks about________. A．how to save money on SmartyPig B．why young people like online banking sites C．what SmartyPig should do to improve its services D．how online banking sites differ from traditional banks 31．Which of the following is TRUE of Alix Scott? A．She can’t afford her college education. B．She has received a student loan. C．She prefers online banking services to local banks. D．She has been working part­time at weekends. 【答案】28．D 29．A 30．B 31．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些网站为年轻人提供他们需要的信息和工具来管理他们的钱，并重点介绍了基于网络的银行服务SmartyPig。 【详解】28．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“SmartPig was developed by Michael Ferrari with a friend in 2007. It is really all about helping people save for very specific goals, such as a wedding, a vacation or an iPhone.(SmartPig是Michael Ferrari和一个朋友在2007年开发的。它实际上是在帮助人们为非常具体的目标存钱，比如婚礼、度假或购买iPhone。)”可知，SmartPig是一个帮助人们省钱存钱的工具。故选D。 29．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“These websites offer young people the information and tools they need to watch over their money. The websites also let the users share their financial experiences with other young people.(这些网站为年轻人提供他们需要的信息和工具来管理他们的钱。这些网站还允许用户与其他年轻人分享他们的理财经验。)”可知，这些网站允许用户与其他年轻人分享他们的理财经验。而下文则举SmartPig为例，由此可知，SmartPig的用户可以分享他们省钱的经验。故选A。 30．主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“A growing number of young people have shown an interest in online banking sites like SmartyPig. They say they like the ease of operation and services the sites offer. These personal finance websites offer tools that help users follow their spending，set up a budget, and combine their investments. And they all involve social media, which interests young adults who are already at ease about sharing their personal information online.(越来越多的年轻人对像SmartyPig这样的网上银行网站表现出兴趣。他们说，他们喜欢这些网站提供的操作方便和服务。这些个人理财网站提供工具，帮助用户跟踪他们的支出，建立预算，并结合他们的投资。而且它们都涉及到社交媒体，这引起了已经对在网上分享个人信息感到自在的年轻人的兴趣。)”可知，最后一段主要分析了为什么年轻人会喜欢网上银行网站。故选B。 31．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“But instead of putting her money in a local bank, Miss Scott began using SmartyPig, a webbased banking service.(但Scott小姐没有把钱存入当地银行，而是开始使用基于网络的银行服务SmartyPig。)”可知，与当地银行相比，Alix Scott更喜欢网上银行服务。故选C。 D In the past decade, the use of social media has grown in a way that no one could have guessed. It has turned some teenagers into celebrities (名人) and turned the famous into the infamous, overnight. A key feature of social media, however, is its volatility. Trends come and go, disappearing almost as quickly as they appeared. So, what were the key social media trends of 2019? Short video apps such as TikTok and its Chinese equivalent Douyin, took the world by storm. The Telegraph reported that TikTok was ranked 8th on Apple’s App Store in April. And Douyin had more than 300 million domestic monthly active users in June, CNBC said. Why are these short videos — which are rarely longer than a few minutes — so popular? Jiang Yige, Singapore-based analyst at FengHe Fund Management, has a theory. Short videos are “just right to fill in the little gaps in our busy schedules”, he told CNBC． These videos — apart from being very convenient — are important to teenagers because they allow them to express themselves, according to Teen Vogue. The sense of community that users of short video apps get is another appealing feature. Liza Koshy, a user of the US app Musically who has over 2 million followers, said that she was thrilled when anyone said that her video had “inspired” him. “It’s really cool...because I think that as short video creators that’s what we all expect,” she added. Live streaming is another feature of our social media life that now seems as natural as sunrise. It’s a pretty neat idea: You can watch anyone, anywhere, live. However, China has taken live streaming to a whole new level. In China, more than 100 million viewers monthly watch a live streaming video. Forbes thought that a number of factors had led to the popularity of live streams. Among them is viewers’ ability to interact while remaining anonymous. However, the boom in social media may be having side effects too. Fake news is one serious problem it arguably causes. Material shared on these platforms is often not checked for accuracy. The most basic content can be false and can sway users one way or another. We use social media all the time; that doesn’t mean that we understand the influence it is having on us. We should be mindful of both the time we spend on it and its impact on our minds. 32．The underlined word “volatility” in Paragraph 2 possibly means “being 　　　”. A．changeable B．steady C．promising D．violent 33．According to Liza Koshy, short videos are very popular because 　　　. A．they are very convenient B．they help people kill time C．they provide a sense of community D．they allow people to express themselves 34．What can we learn about social media from the text? A．The information from social media is highly reliable. B．When it comes to social media, people know short videos the best. C．People can’t communicate with each other without social media. D．There is still much room for social media to make improvement. 35．What is the best title for the text? A．Rapid Development of Social Media B．Key Social Media Trends of 2019 C．Short Videos Taking the World by Storm D．Live Streaming — A New Feature of Social Media 【答案】32．A 33．C 34．D 35．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。社交媒体的发展速度惊人，短视频、直播流媒体给人们的生活带来了便利，能够让人们展现自我，并带来认同感。但是，社交媒体的兴起也可能产生副作用，我们应该客观地看待它。 【详解】32．词句猜测题。根据第二段第二句“Trends come and go, disappearing almost as quickly as they appeared. (潮流来了又走，消失的速度几乎和出现的速度一样快。) ”可知，发展趋势来得快消失得也快。这句话是在解释画线词语，因此volatility意为“易变”，A项“易变的”符合。B项“稳定的”、C项“有希望的”和D项“猛烈的,暴力的”均不符合语境。故选A。 33．细节理解题。根据第六段前两句“The sense of community that users of short video apps get is another appealing feature. Liza Koshy, a user of the US app Musically who has over 2 million followers, said that she was thrilled when anyone said that her video had “inspired” him. (短视频应用的用户获得的社区感是另一个吸引人的特点。拥有200多万粉丝的美国应用程序“音乐”的用户丽莎·科西说，当有人说她的视频“启发”了他时，她很激动。)”可知，按Liza Koshy所说，短视频非常受欢迎在于它的另一个吸引人的特点：短视频应用程序的用户获得了社区意识。故选C。 34．推理判断题。根据最后一段前四句“However, the boom in social media may be having side effects too. Fake news is one serious problem it arguably causes. Material shared on these platforms is often not checked for accuracy. The most basic content can be false and can sway users one way or another. (然而，社交媒体的繁荣也可能产生副作用。假新闻可以说是它造成的一个严重问题。在这些平台上分享的材料通常没有经过准确性检查。最基本的内容可能是虚假的，可以以这样或那样的方式影响用户。)”可知，社交媒体上传播的虚假新闻是一个严重问题，这会影响用户。因此社交媒体还存在问题，仍旧有很大的改进空间。故选D。 35．主旨大意题。根据第二段“A key feature of social media, however, is its volatility. Trends come and go, disappearing almost as quickly as they appeared. So, what were the key social media trends of 2019? (社交媒体的主要特征是它的易变性。发展趋势来得快消失得也快。2019年社交媒体的主要趋势是什么?)”可知，文章接下来回答了这个问题。因此B项“2019年的主要社交媒体趋势”作为文章标题最合适。故选B。 第二节（共5小题：每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分） 阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Being responsible is universally agreed to be one of the keys to success. 36 Instead, it takes a long time for kids to develop this difficult yet beautiful habit. So, how should parents teach their kids to be responsible for their duties? ·Start early. If you haven’t taught your kids responsibility, you can’t suddenly blame them for acting irresponsibly. Begin teaching responsibility when your kid is very young. 37 ·Guide your children.

(尽早开始)”可知本段主要内容主要是说明培养责任要趁早，结合空格前句说明“Begin teaching responsibility when your kid is very young. (在孩子很小的时候就开始教授责任。)”可知，越早开始教授孩子责任，那么孩子就越早学会。由此可知E项“你越早开始，你就能越早教会你的孩子负责任。” 符合因果解释关系，故选E项。 38．根据小标题“Guide your children. (引导你的孩子)”可知本段讲的是如何引导孩子负责任，空格前句表明“It’s important for a parent to understand kids’ skill level and give them tasks suitable for the skill level. (父母了解孩子的技能水平，给他们设置适合他们技能水平的任务是很重要的。)”和空格后“ First....also...”开始描述浇花的具体步骤，可知，空格处应该是举例给孩子完成一个浇花任务，即G项“例如，你可以让你5岁的孩子负责给植物浇水。”培养他/她的责任感。故选G项。 39．根据本段小标题“Talk about responsibility. (谈论责任)”可知本段建议根孩子谈论责任，结合空格后说“Children who hear this word from an early age also quickly understand the meaning of responsibility. (从小听到这个词的孩子也能很快理解责任的含义。)”可知，孩子对责任这个词听得多那么也会更快的理解责任，由此可知F选项“儿童专家经常建议父母在孩子面前使用“责任”这个词。”提供谈论责任的建议，且空格后“this word”可指代F选项中的the word “responsibility”。故选F项。 40．本题设空在句首，根据前文结构可知，第一句为小标题且是祈使句，下文内容“The best way your kids will learn to act responsibly is by observing you and other family members.Show your responsibility by acting in a responsible manner at all times in front of your children. By observing your actions your kids will slowly learn to be responsible. (你的孩子学会负责任地做事的最好方法是通过观察你和其他家庭成员。在你的孩子面前，时刻以负责任的态度表现你的责任。通过观察你的行为，你的孩子会慢慢学会负责任。)”可总结出，本段是建议父母以身作则，做孩子的榜样。所以A项“做个榜样”符合段落内容中心主旨，故选A项。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Vicky Umodu from Colton in California was setting up her new home.

The sun was coming out from the clouds, casting a warm light over the park. Amy was running along the winding path, her feet hitting the ground in a steady rhythm. She loves running because she believes that after a tough week at work, it could not only exercise her body but also free her mind from stress and exhaustion. Every Sunday, the park was alive with activities. Children were chasing each other on the grass. Elderly people were practicing tai chi in slow, graceful movements. Young couples were walking hand in hand by the lake. Amy breathed deeply, taking in the fresh smell of flowers. Her steps felt light and her heart was at peace. Everything felt perfect. Suddenly, a sharp cry cut through the morning calm. Amy slowed down and saw a crowd gathering near the fountain, their faces filled with panic. She ran toward them, pushing through the circle of people. An old woman was lying on the ground, her face pale and her lips slightly purple. Beside her, another elderly woman was shouting, “She’s having a heart attack! Please help her!” People stood frozen, some dialing emergency numbers, but no one gave her a hand. Amy’s mind raced. Her friend Harriet, a nurse at the city hospital, had once asked her to attend a public welfare activity for CPR (心肺复苏) training in her community three months ago. She remembered rolling her eyes at the practice dummy (假人), whispering to Harriet that she would never need such boring knowledge. Never in her wildest dreams had she imagined facing a real emergency like this. At that time, she was more interested in the small gifts provided than the training itself. Now, staring at the struggling woman, whose breath grew weaker and eyes began to roll back, Amy knew she was the only hope. Taking a deep breath, she forced her shaking legs to move forward, her heart beating wildly as if jumping out of her chest, and explained that she had learned CPR. 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。 “Let me try,” Amy placed her hands on the old woman’s chest. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As Amy’s strength was fading, she noticed the ambulance arriving. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 “Let me try,” Amy placed her hands on the old woman’s chest. She tried her best to recall every step of CPR she had learned in the training, pressing down on the chest steadily with the correct strength and rhythm. After several cycles, Amy bent down to give rescue breaths. Sweat ran down her face, but she didn’t stop. The crowd held their breath and watched silently, their anxious eyes fixed on the pale face beneath her. After what felt like forever, the old woman coughed weakly, and Amy’s heart leaped with hope. Just then, a sound of an ambulance grew louder. As Amy’s strength was fading, she noticed the ambulance arriving. The paramedics rushed to the old woman and took over the rescue work. Amy stepped back, her legs worn out, but she kept her eyes on the old woman. Within minutes, the woman’s color slowly returned, and she began to breathe steadily. A medic patted Amy’s shoulder and said, “You saved her.” All the people around broke into cheers. At that moment, Amy realized every small skill we learn, even if we think it useless at first, can be a bright light to pull others out of danger one day. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述艾米周日在公园跑步放松身心，偶遇一位老人突发心脏病倒地，众人束手无策。曾经敷衍参加过心肺复苏培训的艾米克服紧张，主动上前施救，坚持按压抢救，最终等到救护车顺利救助老人，领悟所学技能皆有用处的道理。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写艾米回忆心肺复苏步骤，沉着施救、持续抢救，老人逐渐恢复微弱反应，救护车声音渐近。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写医护人员接手救治，老人转危为安，众人称赞，艾米深刻领悟技能学习的价值。 2. 续写线索：上手施救——回忆步骤——坚持抢救——老人苏醒——救护车抵达——医护接手——老人脱险——领悟真谛 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①回忆：recall/recollect ②注视：eyes fixed on/eyes glued to 情绪类 ①焦虑：anxious/worried ②疲惫：worn out/exhausted/tired out 【点睛】【高分句型 1】The crowd held their breath and watched silently, their anxious eyes fixed on the pale face beneath her.
