So a few years ago, I decided to do a sketch (素描) every day. I had always wanted to draw, but felt shy because I was bad at it. Then I bought a few notebooks: a small one for my jacket pocket and larger ones for my bedside and kitchen table. As no one would see my drawings, I didn't care about what anyone thought. One day, I took a notebook and a pencil to the Cornish cliffs. I spent 10 minutes drawing cows and wild ponies (小马) . Standing there, pencil in hand, I felt like a fool, but I had started. It was a happy moment. I had never drawn a pony before, but one sketch turned out OK for a beginner. Next, I drew our cat sleeping and our dog, Foxy, watching a mouse in the kitchen. Beside each sketch, I wrote the date and little notes. Having the pencils and sketchbooks nearby meant these small moments built up. Within weeks, what might have just been photos on my phone became a personal diary on paper. My favorite drawings are often of people. Our daughter, Elizabeth, gets angry when she realizes I’m drawing her. Drawing strangers at airports or in cafes is fun. I enjoy the challenge of finishing before they move. Many sketches are bad, but quick ones turn out well because I stop overthinking. Drawing each day means I spend less time on my phone. It slows things down and helps me focus. It makes me happier and more patient. In two years, when our daughter leaves home, I'll look back at these sketches and remember our time together. 41. What was the reason for the author to begin sketching daily? A. To share her artwork on social media. B. To become a professional artist. C. To connect more with the real world. D. To improve her drawing skills quickly. 42. Why did the author buy notebooks of different sizes? A. For drawing conveniently in different places. B. For sketching different sized subjects. C. To practice specific drawing skills. D. To organize her sketches by size. 43. How did the author feel during her first sketch? A. Confident but tired. B. Foolish but joyful. C. Nervous and regretful. D. Bored and impatient. 44. What does the author enjoy most about drawing strangers? A. Showing their unique emotions. B. Creating well-finished paintings. C. Completing the drawing quickly. D. Interacting with people frequently. 45. How does daily sketching help the author? A. It increases her patience. B. It strengthens family ties. C. It forms better social connections. D. It improves her art understanding. 【答案】41. C 42. A 43. B 44. C 45. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是记叙文。主要讲述了作者为了减少屏幕时间，决定每天进行素描的经历。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“I’ve always struggled with screen time. I don’t like how it influences my sense of the real world. So a few years ago, I decided to do a sketch (素描) every day.(我总是与看屏幕的时间作斗争。我不喜欢它影响我对现实世界的感觉。所以几年前，我决定每天画一幅素描)”可知，作者想更多地与现实世界联系，所以开始每天画一幅素描。故选C项。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“I had always wanted to draw, but felt shy because I was bad at it. Then I bought a few notebooks: a small one for my jacket pocket and larger ones for my bedside and kitchen table.(我一直想画画，但因为我不擅长而感到害羞。然后我买了几本笔记本：小的放在我的夹克口袋里，大的放在床边和厨房的桌子上)”可知，作者是为了方便在不同的地方绘制，所以买不同尺寸的笔记本。故选A项。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“One day, I took a notebook and a pencil to the Cornish cliffs. I spent 10 minutes drawing cows and wild ponies (小马) . Standing there, pencil in hand, I felt like a fool, but I had started. It was a happy moment.(有一天，我带着笔记本和铅笔去了康沃尔悬崖。我花了10分钟画奶牛和野生小马。站在那里，手里拿着铅笔，我觉得自己像个傻瓜，但我已经开始了。这是一个快乐的时刻)”可知，作者创作第一幅素描时感觉愚蠢但快乐。故选B项。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Drawing strangers at airports or in cafes is fun. I enjoy the challenge of finishing before they move.(在机场或咖啡馆里画陌生人很有趣。我喜欢挑战在对方移动之前完成画作)”以及最后一段“Many sketches are bad, but quick ones turn out well because I stop overthinking.(很多素描画得很差，但那些快速完成的画作效果往往不错，因为我不再过度思考)”可知，作者最喜欢快速完成绘图，因为可以让她不再过度思考。故选C项。 【45题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Drawing each day means I spend less time on my phone. It slows things down and helps me focus. It makes me happier and more patient. In two years, when our daughter leaves home, I'll look back at these sketches and remember our time together.(每天画画意味着我花在手机上的时间减少了。它让生活节奏慢下来，帮助我集中注意力。它让我更快乐、更有耐心。两年后，当我们的女儿离开家时，我会看着这些素描，回忆起我们在一起的时光)”可知，每日素描增加了她的耐心。故选A项。 C It’s human nature to enjoy playing. From board games to sports, games have been a significant part of human culture for a very long time. Since their invention in the mid-20th century, video games have become one of the most popular ways to have fun. In 2018, UK games spent an average of over seven hours a week playing, according to research by global network provider Limelight. But how much is too much? When does fun turn into an addiction? Are we addicted to video games? “The strong desire to play never disappears,” said Sean - not his real name - on the BBC’s Victoria Derbyshire programme. His deep interest in gaming once led him to play for 48 hours straight. It consumed him to the point where he neglected his family and children, spending all his time on gaming and ignoring their needs, which ultimately led to losing them, his job, and his home. Since then, he has entered a rehabilitation center, and although he slipped back into gaming once or twice, he has been doing well for the last 14 months. Sean is not alone. The UK Addiction Treatment group reported that the number of people seeking treatment for gaming addiction grew from four in 2014 to 22 in 2018. In 2018, the World Health Organization classified gaming addiction as an illness. In the UK, an investigation into technology addiction by the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee included statements from people who said they were addicted to games. One, Matus Mikus, said, “games are naturally addictive.” However, the association for UK Interactive Entertainment told the committee that there was not enough evidence to support the claim of addiction. They argued that gaming could be beneficial, for example, by developing thinking skills. In fact, in a 2018 BBC article, Dr. Rajin Chowdhury, who works in an aesthetic and intensive care at Sheffield Teaching Hospital, shared a similar view. Gaming, he said, made him more skillful with his hands, improved his ability to use his hands and eyes together effectively, and helped with operations performed remotely by looking at a screen, especially when the controls were complex. Are video games addictive? The answer is unclear. As with many things, balance is important. The games themselves may not be the problem, but letting them negatively impact our lives certainly is. With that in mind, play well, have fun, and remember to take regular breaks. 46. What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To criticize the impact of video games on society. B. To introduce the topic of video games and their popularity. C. To provide information about how much people play games. D. To explain the history of video games. 47. The underlined word “neglected” in Paragraph 2 probably means “______”. A. Ignored B. Supported C. Watched D. Disliked 48. What does the third paragraph mainly discuss? A. The benefits of gaming. B. The popularity of video games. C. The fun of playing video games. D. The rise in gaming addiction cases. 49. What does the association claim about gaming? A. It is harmful. B. It causes addiction. C. It has benefits. D. It is expensive. 50. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Video Games: A New Form of Entertainment B. Video Games: Addiction or Benefit? C. The Dark Side of Video Game Addiction D. How to Deal with Video Game Addiction 【答案】46. B 47. A 48. D 49. C 50. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章探讨电子游戏是会让人成瘾还是有益，强调玩游戏需把握平衡。 【46题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“It’s human nature to enjoy playing. From board games to sports, games have been a significant part of human culture for a very long time. Since their invention in the mid-20th century, video games have become one of the most popular ways to have fun. In 2018, UK games spent an average of over seven hours a week playing, according to research by global network provider Limelight. But how much is too much? When does fun turn into an addiction? Are we addicted to video games? (享受玩耍是人的天性。从棋盘游戏到体育运动，很长一段时间以来，游戏一直是人类文化的重要组成部分。自20世纪中叶发明以来，电子游戏已成为最受欢迎的娱乐方式之一。根据全球网络提供商Limelight的研究，2018年，英国游戏平均每周玩7个多小时。但多少才算太多？什么时候乐趣变成了瘾？我们沉迷于电子游戏吗？)”可知，作者先介绍了电子游戏自 20 世纪中期发明以来变得非常流行，还提到英国人每周玩游戏的时长，最后提出关于玩游戏是否成瘾等问题。所以第一段目的是引入电子游戏及其流行程度的话题。故选B项。 【47题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段划线句后文“spending all his time on gaming and ignoring their needs (他把所有的时间都花在游戏上，忽视了他们的需求)”可知，这里指他把所有时间都花在玩游戏上，不顾家人和孩子的需求，所以neglected意思应是“忽视”的意思，与ignored同义。故选A项。 【48题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“The UK Addiction Treatment group reported that the number of people seeking treatment for gaming addiction grew from four in 2014 to 22 in 2018. In 2018, the World Health Organization classified gaming addiction as an illness. (英国成瘾治疗组织报告称，寻求游戏成瘾治疗的人数从2014年的4人增加到2018年的22人。2018年，世界卫生组织将游戏成瘾列为一种疾病。)”可知，该段主要讲述了英国寻求游戏成瘾治疗的人数增长以及世界卫生组织将游戏成瘾列为疾病，即主要讨论游戏成瘾案例的增加。故选D项。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“However, the association for UK Interactive Entertainment told the committee that there was not enough evidence to support the claim of addiction. They argued that gaming could be beneficial, for example, by developing thinking skills. (然而，英国互动娱乐协会告诉委员会，没有足够的证据支持成瘾的说法。他们认为，游戏可能是有益的，例如，通过发展思维技能。)”可知，该协会声称没有足够证据证明游戏成瘾，且认为游戏有益，比如能培养思维技能。故选C项。 【50题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章既讲述了像Sean这样游戏成瘾带来的不良后果，如失去家庭、工作和住所等，也提到了协会及一些人认为游戏有益的观点，如能培养思维技能、提高手眼协调能力等，所以文章围绕游戏成瘾和益处两方面展开讨论。故选B项。 第四部分：写作（共两节，满分35分） 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读表达 I’m lucky enough to have come from a family of mountaineers, so I have been climbing for as long as I can remember. But it’s particularly thanks to my father that I started tackling serious peaks at such a young age. When I was twelve years old, we travelled together to Alaska to climb Mount Denali, which is the highest peak in North America. The following year, I joined a youth expedition (探险) to Africa to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. After this, I went on to climb tough peaks in Australia, Argentina and Russia, each time with a different team. Most times the difficulty was in finding sponsors willing to help fund my trip. In December of the year I turned 19, I headed out to Mount Vinson in the Antarctic. This turned out to be the most challenging expedition I had done so far. First there was the long, demanding journey down to the ‘frozen continent’. We took a flight to southern Chile and then caught a cargo plane (货机) on to the Antarctic, with no heating, real seats or windows. Then during the actual climb my hands froze and I was in a lot of pain. Still, this experience was like a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. The colors of the ice, air and sky there were so pure without the pollution we have got so used to everywhere else. By this time, I had gained a lot of experience and felt I was ready for ‘the big one’, Mount Qomolangma. It stands at 8,848.86 meters high and is not only the highest mountain on Earth but possibly the most unforgiving, too. Since returning from Qomolangma I’ve been giving a series of talks and presentations on my expeditions. I hope more than anything that they will inspire other young people to follow their dreams. I had taken 68 flights along my journey to reach the seven summits (顶峰). But I never doubted what I was doing. I truly believed that one day I was going to stand on the top of the world! 51. When did the author climb Mount Denali with her father? (no more than 5 words) ____________________________________________________________________________ 52. Why did the author find Mount Vinson challenging? (no more than 15 words) ____________________________________________________________________________ 53. What does the underlined part in paragraph 3 mean? (no more than 8 words) ____________________________________________________________________________ 54. What was the author’s motivation for giving talks and presentations? (no more than 12 words) ____________________________________________________________________________ 55. What do you think of the author? Please explain. (no more than 20 words) ____________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】51. At twelve years old. / When she was twelve. 52. Because of the long, demanding journey, extreme cold and much pain. 53. It means the experience was precious and rewarding. 54. To inspire other young people to follow their dreams. 55. She is brave and inspiring because she keeps pursuing dreams persistently despite all difficulties and obstacles. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者自幼随父登山，历经多国山峰挑战，最终登顶珠峰，并激励年轻人追梦的故事。 【51题详解】 考查细节理解。由文章第一段“When I was twelve years old, we travelled together to Alaska to climb Mount Denali, which is the highest peak in North America.(当我十二岁的时候，我们一起前往阿拉斯加攀登北美最高峰麦金利山。)”可知，作者在十二岁时和父亲一起攀登了麦金利山。故答案为At twelve years old. / When she was twelve. 【52题详解】 考查细节理解。由文章第三段中“In December of the year I turned 19, I headed out to Mount Vinson in the Antarctic. This turned out to be the most challenging expedition I had done so far. First there was the long, demanding journey down to the ‘frozen continent’. We took a flight to southern Chile and then caught a cargo plane (货机) on to the Antarctic, with no heating, real seats or windows. Then during the actual climb my hands froze and I was in a lot of pain.(十九岁那年的十二月，我启程前往南极洲，挑战文森峰。这次探险成了我迄今为止经历过的最艰难的一次。首先，光是抵达这片“冰封大陆”的旅途，就漫长而艰辛。我们先乘飞机飞往智利南部，随后转乘一架货机前往南极洲。那架货机里没有暖气，没有像样的座椅，甚至连窗户都没有。而在真正的登山过程中，我的双手冻伤了，疼得钻心。)”可知，作者发现攀登文森山很有挑战性是因为漫长的艰苦旅程、极度的寒冷和巨大的痛苦。故答案为Because of the long, demanding journey, extreme cold and much pain. 【53题详解】 考查句意猜测。由文章第三段中“In December of the year I turned 19, I headed out to Mount Vinson in the Antarctic. This turned out to be the most challenging expedition I had done so far. First there was the long, demanding journey down to the ‘frozen continent’.

I hope more than anything that they will inspire other young people to follow their dreams.(自从从珠穆朗玛峰回来后，我一直在就我的探险做一系列的演讲和报告。我最希望的是，它们能激励其他年轻人追随自己的梦想。)”可知，作者做演讲和报告的动机是激励其他年轻人追随自己的梦想。故答案为To inspire other young people to follow their dreams. 【55题详解】 开放性题目，此题要求回答：你觉得作者怎么样？请解释一下。（不超过20字）答案不唯一，合理即可。例如：她勇敢且鼓舞人心，因为她不顾一切困难和障碍，坚持追求梦想。She is brave and inspiring because she keeps pursuing dreams persistently despite all difficulties and obstacles. 第二节：书面表达（共1小题；满分25分） 56. 假定你是晨光中学高三学生李津。美国马斯卡廷中学生代表团(the delegation from Muscatine High School)将在寒假期间访问中国，行程包括天津市。他们将与学生交流，游览特色景点，体验中国文化。你从网上得知你市正在招募从事接待工作的志愿者，于是决定用英语写一封电子邮件申请加入，要点如下： 1. 写信目的； 2. 自我介绍和个人优势； 3. 希望获准。 注意：1. 词数100词左右； 2. 可适当增加细节，使行文连贯。 Dear Sir or Madam, ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With all my best regards.

What is the 9th South Roundabout opportunity? A. A music festival. B. An art competition. C. An entertaining show. D. A DIY work exhibition. B I’ve always struggled with screen time. I don’t like how it influences my sense of the real world. So a few years ago, I decided to do a sketch (素描) every day. I had always wanted to draw, but felt shy because I was bad at it. Then I bought a few notebooks: a small one for my jacket pocket and larger ones for my bedside and kitchen table. As no one would see my drawings, I didn't care about what anyone thought. One day, I took a notebook and a pencil to the Cornish cliffs. I spent 10 minutes drawing cows and wild ponies (小马) . Standing there, pencil in hand, I felt like a fool, but I had started. It was a happy moment. I had never drawn a pony before, but one sketch turned out OK for a beginner. Next, I drew our cat sleeping and our dog, Foxy, watching a mouse in the kitchen. Beside each sketch, I wrote the date and little notes. Having the pencils and sketchbooks nearby meant these small moments built up. Within weeks, what might have just been photos on my phone became a personal diary on paper. My favorite drawings are often of people. Our daughter, Elizabeth, gets angry when she realizes I’m drawing her. Drawing strangers at airports or in cafes is fun. I enjoy the challenge of finishing before they move. Many sketches are bad, but quick ones turn out well because I stop overthinking. Drawing each day means I spend less time on my phone. It slows things down and helps me focus. It makes me happier and more patient. In two years, when our daughter leaves home, I'll look back at these sketches and remember our time together. 41.

D. Bored and impatient. 44. What does the author enjoy most about drawing strangers? A. Showing their unique emotions. B. Creating well-finished paintings. C. Completing the drawing quickly. D. Interacting with people frequently. 45. How does daily sketching help the author? A. It increases her patience. B. It strengthens family ties. C. It forms better social connections. D. It improves her art understanding. C It’s human nature to enjoy playing. From board games to sports, games have been a significant part of human culture for a very long time. Since their invention in the mid-20th century, video games have become one of the most popular ways to have fun. In 2018, UK games spent an average of over seven hours a week playing, according to research by global network provider Limelight. But how much is too much? When does fun turn into an addiction? Are we addicted to video games? “The strong desire to play never disappears,” said Sean - not his real name - on the BBC’s Victoria Derbyshire programme. His deep interest in gaming once led him to play for 48 hours straight. It consumed him to the point where he neglected his family and children, spending all his time on gaming and ignoring their needs, which ultimately led to losing them, his job, and his home. Since then, he has entered a rehabilitation center, and although he slipped back into gaming once or twice, he has been doing well for the last 14 months. Sean is not alone. The UK Addiction Treatment group reported that the number of people seeking treatment for gaming addiction grew from four in 2014 to 22 in 2018. In 2018, the World Health Organization classified gaming addiction as an illness. In the UK, an investigation into technology addiction by the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee included statements from people who said they were addicted to games. One, Matus Mikus, said, “games are naturally addictive.” However, the association for UK Interactive Entertainment told the committee that there was not enough evidence to support the claim of addiction. They argued that gaming could be beneficial, for example, by developing thinking skills. In fact, in a 2018 BBC article, Dr. Rajin Chowdhury, who works in an aesthetic and intensive care at Sheffield Teaching Hospital, shared a similar view. Gaming, he said, made him more skillful with his hands, improved his ability to use his hands and eyes together effectively, and helped with operations performed remotely by looking at a screen, especially when the controls were complex. Are video games addictive? The answer is unclear. As with many things, balance is important. The games themselves may not be the problem, but letting them negatively impact our lives certainly is. With that in mind, play well, have fun, and remember to take regular breaks. 46. What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To criticize the impact of video games on society. B. To introduce the topic of video games and their popularity. C. To provide information about how much people play games. D. To explain the history of video games. 47. The underlined word “neglected” in Paragraph 2 probably means “______”. A. Ignored B. Supported C. Watched D. Disliked 48. What does the third paragraph mainly discuss? A. The benefits of gaming. B. The popularity of video games. C. The fun of playing video games. D. The rise in gaming addiction cases. 49. What does the association claim about gaming? A. It is harmful. B. It causes addiction. C. It has benefits. D. It is expensive. 50. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Video Games: A New Form of Entertainment B. Video Games: Addiction or Benefit? C. The Dark Side of Video Game Addiction D. How to Deal with Video Game Addiction 第四部分：写作（共两节，满分35分） 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读表达 I’m lucky enough to have come from a family of mountaineers, so I have been climbing for as long as I can remember. But it’s particularly thanks to my father that I started tackling serious peaks at such a young age. When I was twelve years old, we travelled together to Alaska to climb Mount Denali, which is the highest peak in North America. The following year, I joined a youth expedition (探险) to Africa to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. After this, I went on to climb tough peaks in Australia, Argentina and Russia, each time with a different team. Most times the difficulty was in finding sponsors willing to help fund my trip. In December of the year I turned 19, I headed out to Mount Vinson in the Antarctic. This turned out to be the most challenging expedition I had done so far. First there was the long, demanding journey down to the ‘frozen continent’. We took a flight to southern Chile and then caught a cargo plane (货机) on to the Antarctic, with no heating, real seats or windows. Then during the actual climb my hands froze and I was in a lot of pain. Still, this experience was like a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. The colors of the ice, air and sky there were so pure without the pollution we have got so used to everywhere else. By this time, I had gained a lot of experience and felt I was ready for ‘the big one’, Mount Qomolangma. It stands at 8,848.86 meters high and is not only the highest mountain on Earth but possibly the most unforgiving, too. Since returning from Qomolangma I’ve been giving a series of talks and presentations on my expeditions. I hope more than anything that they will inspire other young people to follow their dreams. I had taken 68 flights along my journey to reach the seven summits (顶峰). But I never doubted what I was doing. I truly believed that one day I was going to stand on the top of the world! 51.
