I treated every run as a never-ceasing battle against time with my GPS watch serving as my judge. Failure seemed certain unless I hit the target pace while success merely fueled the urge to map out how to go faster next time. It was two years before this means of running brought out multiple physical discomforts in me. Then a major injury — my broken ankle — sidelined me for three months, forcing me to switch to long, unhurried walks in the nearby park — no watch, no headphones and just the rhythm of my footsteps. It came as a revelation: I noticed the golden color of dusk filtering through oak leaves, the laughter of children echoing from the playground and the smell of freshly baked bread floating from a nearby bakery. When I returned to running, I resolved to abandon the addiction to PBs, opting for a pace gentle enough to allow off-key singing without breathing heavily. I joined a social running group, where we paused to pet dogs and share weekly stories. Then trail running, where roots and rocks demand full attention to footing rather than speed, became my new pursuit. Initially, it felt strange, like I was cheating, casting me into a mild state of disquiet with this unaccustomed pace. Soon, this shift brought clarity. One Saturday dawn, an aimless run led me to a reservoir. As I watched the sunlight sparkling on the water, I realized I hadn’t checked my electronic watch even once — no thoughts of pace or distance, just pure pleasure in running. That’s when it hit me: The essence of running doesn’t lie in pursuing data but in fully inhabiting the present, embracing surrounding delights and connecting with my body, nature and the world. That, indeed, is the greatest personal best of all. Now, I run to unwind after a long workday, to bond with friends and to witness sunrises. Occasionally I race at full speed, only when it feels fulfilling, not driven by a device and letting go of the need to prove myself. 4. What does paragraph 1 indicate about the author? A. He was keen on running aimlessly. B. He excelled in plotting running routes. C. He tended to run at a constant pace. D. He took his running performance too seriously. 5. What does the underlined word “revelation” in paragraph 2 probably refer to? A. A universal cure. B. A refreshing discovery. C. An ethical option. D. A long-awaited miracle. 6. How did the author feel in his first attempt at trail running? A. Uncomfortable. B. Relieved. C. Pessimistic. D. Determined. 7. What does the author’s experience show? A. Learn to walk before you run. B. Slow and steady wins the race. C. Running is about joy not figures. D. A thousand-mile journey begins with a single step. C One billion people in the world are short of water. How can this problem be solved? Some suggestions have been to desalinate ocean water or to build enormous water pipelines from areas where water is abundant. (Suggestions such as these prove extremely expensive when they are actually used.) One possibility that scientists are considering is pulling icebergs (冰山) from either the North Pole or the South Pole to parts of the world with a water shortage. Although many questions must be answered before such a project could be tried, moving icebergs seems a reasonable possibility in the future. Engineers, mathematicians, and glaciologists from a dozen countries have been considering the iceberg as a future source of water. Saudi Arabia is particularly interested in this project because it has a great water shortage. Scientists estimate that it would take 128 days to transport a large iceberg(about 1/2 square mile) to Saudi Arabia. Yet the iceberg would be completely melted by the 104th day. Therefore, insulation would be essential, but how to insulate the iceberg remains an unsolved problem. The problems in transporting an iceberg are numerous. The first problem is choosing the iceberg to pull. The icebergs that form in the North Pole are quite difficult to handle because of their shape. Only a small portion extends above the water — most of the iceberg is below the surface, which would make it difficult to pull. South Pole icebergs, on the other hand, are flat and float like table tops. Thus they would be much easier to move. How can a 200-million-ton iceberg be moved? No ship is strong enough to pull such enormous weight through the water. Perhaps several ships could be used. Attaching ropes to an iceberg this size is also an enormous problem. Engineers think that large nails or long metal rods could be driven into the ice. What would happen if the iceberg splits into several pieces during the pulling? Even if an iceberg with very few cracks were chosen, how could it be pulled through stormy waters? Furthermore, once the iceberg reached its destination, very few ports would be deep enough to store it. All of these problems must be solved before icebergs can become a reasonable source of water. Yet scientists estimate that it will be possible to transport them in the near future. Each year, enough icebergs form to supply the whole world with fresh water for a full year. In addition, icebergs are free and nonpolluting. As a solution to the world’s water problems, icebergs may be a workable possibility. 8. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. Desalination is the best way to solve water shortage. B. Moving icebergs is proposed to replace costly water solutions. C. Most countries suffering water-shortage are located near the Poles. D. Scientists have carried out successful iceberg-transport experiments. 9. Why are Antarctic icebergs easier to transport than Arctic ones? A. More of them stay above the water. B. They rarely get broken in stormy seas. C. They need no ropes during the pulling. D. They hold more fresh water for urgent use. 10. What does the author think of transporting icebergs? A. It is ready for immediate use. B. It should replace desalination. C. It will take decades to realize. D. It is promising despite difficulties. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Icebergs: A Possible Fresh-water Supply for the World B. Polar Icebergs: Unused Natural Resources on Our Planet C. Obstacles to Bringing Polar Icebergs to Water-short Regions D. An Innovative Practice to Fight Against Worldwide Water Shortage D The trademark lawsuit between Louis Vuitton and Molly Tea looks like a simple commercial conflict, yet it exposes our deep trouble of collective cultural aphasia (失语) and the loss of discourse power over traditional Chinese patterns. Though the court’s ruling follows the law, many Chinese people feel upset. It’s said that the four-petal floral pattern LV uses to protect its trademark may have come from Tang-dynasty treasure flower patterns and ancient persimmon calyx patterns, which have been Chinese public cultural treasures for thousands of years. However, they now become exclusive commercial symbols owned by an overseas brand. Many netizens publicly consider it a “reverse exploitation”, which results from our long-time ignorance of traditional patterns. For centuries, treasure flowers, cloud patterns and Hui patterns decorate ancient paintings, porcelain and buildings, carrying Chinese beauty and good wishes. However, we have seldom systematically registered or protected them with IP (intellectual property) rights. Foreign brands have long absorbed inspiration from Chinese ancient patterns, made small changes and completed global trademark registrations. On the contrary, domestic brands use our ancestors’ patterns casually without awareness of property rights. They only realize these cultural symbols have been occupied by foreign capital when lawsuits arrive. This is typical cultural aphasia: we admire the beauty of ancient patterns, but fail to guard their legal rights; we love national trend aesthetics (美学), but lack a complete system to protect traditional culture. Collective cultural aphasia may not merely allow foreign brands to privatize those symbols, but also block the development of domestic Chinese-style industries. If local brands face huge fines every time they use native ancient patterns, it will be hard to pass down traditional beauty. For a long time, we only enjoy the artistic heritage left by our ancestors passively, instead of actively registering patterns, building digital databases and perfecting relevant laws. As a result, precious cultural resources may fall into the hands of foreign businesses. Joint efforts are essential to fix this problem. The government should build a public pattern database and clarify usage rules. Enterprises need to value traditional cultural IP and create original Chinese-style works. With enhanced cultural confidence, we can safeguard our unique cultural symbols and let Eastern aesthetics develop sustainably. 12. What does the phrase “reverse exploitation” in paragraph 2 mainly reflect? A. Domestic brands use foreign classic patterns. B. Chinese firms recover cultural symbols via lawsuits. C. Foreign brands profit from Chinese cultural resources. D. Courts fine foreign brands for copying Chinese local designs. 13. Why do domestic brands easily get into trademark trouble? A. They simply copy foreign brands. B. They lack IP protection awareness. C. They fail to build digital databases. D. They refuse to follow the new laws. 14. What danger may cultural aphasia bring? A. Traditional art will lose its beauty. B. Laws will be abandoned completely. C. Foreign brands will vanish gradually. D. It holds back the growth of home industries. 15. What is the best way to solve collective cultural aphasia? A. Build a public pattern database. B. Protect cultural symbols unitedly. C. Depend on the government’s efforts. D. Create original Chinese-style works. 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。 Whether you’re an open person that has no fear of talking to strangers on the street, or the polar opposite, there are ways to deal with a culture shock.

He always finished his homework on time and never forgot to lock the door. So when his parents left for the hospital to visit his grandmother last Saturday evening, they felt safe leaving him in charge of the apartment and his eight-year-old sister, Emma. Their home was on the seventh floor of an old building. It had one door, two windows and a small balcony (阳台) at the back. “Your dinner is in the fridge,” his mother said as she put on her coat. “Just heat up the noodles and please don’t burn the kitchen down.” “I won’t,” Leo promised, and he meant it. For a while everything went as planned. Emma sat at the dining table, colouring a picture of a fat cat, while Leo boiled water and set out two bowls. Then he decided to add two fried eggs to the noodles, because Emma loved eggs and their mother was not there to say no. He poured oil into a pan, turned the gas up high, and waited for it to get hot. That was when his phone rang. It was his best friend Tom, calling to argue about the result of the basketball game they had watched together the night before. “You can’t be serious!” Leo laughed, walking into the living room with the phone against his ear. “Our team won by two points. I saw it myself.” “That last shot was outside the line,” Tom shouted back. “It should not have counted.” One minute passed. Then three. Then five. The argument was too interesting to stop, and the kitchen was too quiet to notice. A strange smell reached him first — sharp and bitter, like something burning. Then came Emma’ s small, frightened voice from the kitchen door: “Leo... the pan is making a funny noise.” Leo dropped the phone and ran. He stopped suddenly in the doorway. Bright orange flames were jumping out of the pan, reaching up towards the cupboard above the stove, and thick grey smoke was rising towards the ceiling. The smoke alarm above his head began to ring, and Emma started to cry. 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。 For a second, Leo’s mind went completely blank. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Minutes later, Leo and Emma were standing on the balcony, waving a flashlight at the street below. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 重庆市育才中学高2028届高二(上)11月半期考试 英语试题 注意事项： 1.答卷前，请考生先在答题卡上准确工整地填写本人姓名、准考证号； 2.选择题必须使用2B铅笔填涂；非选择题必须使用0.5mm黑色签字笔答题； 3.请在答题卡中题号对应的区域内作答，超出区域书写的答案无效；在草稿纸、试题卷上答题无效； 4.请保持答题卡卡面清洁，不要折叠、损毁；考试结束后，将答题卡交回。 第一部分听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

(它旨在通过高标准的展览和项目来娱乐和教育游客，最终拯救动物物种并创造平衡的环境。)”以及“apply discoveries to conservation (将发现应用于保护)”可知，乔治亚水族馆的目的是保护海底生物多样性。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Coral Diver部分中“through face-to-face sessions with our aquarium specialists (通过与我们的水族馆专家面对面的交流)”、Dolphin Coast部分中“interact with dolphin keepers (与海豚饲养员互动)”以及Sea Lion Studio部分中“Trainers will interact with these incredible creatures while educating guests (训练员将与这些不可思议的生物互动，同时教育游客)”可知，三个展馆的共同之处是允许游客与专业人士互动。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据One-Day Ticket部分中“Reserve & Save General Admission ——— Off-peak times $50 (预订优惠普通门票——非高峰时段50美元)”以及“An additional 20% discount applies to every ticket for entry after 3:30 p. m. (下午3:30之后入场的每张门票额外享受20%的折扣)”可知，一对夫妇在周一下午4:00入场，属于非高峰时段且可享受20%折扣，每张票价为$50×(1-20%)=$40，两人共$80。 B Several years ago, I was addicted to personal bests (PBs). I treated every run as a never-ceasing battle against time with my GPS watch serving as my judge. Failure seemed certain unless I hit the target pace while success merely fueled the urge to map out how to go faster next time. It was two years before this means of running brought out multiple physical discomforts in me. Then a major injury — my broken ankle — sidelined me for three months, forcing me to switch to long, unhurried walks in the nearby park — no watch, no headphones and just the rhythm of my footsteps. It came as a revelation: I noticed the golden color of dusk filtering through oak leaves, the laughter of children echoing from the playground and the smell of freshly baked bread floating from a nearby bakery. When I returned to running, I resolved to abandon the addiction to PBs, opting for a pace gentle enough to allow off-key singing without breathing heavily. I joined a social running group, where we paused to pet dogs and share weekly stories. Then trail running, where roots and rocks demand full attention to footing rather than speed, became my new pursuit. Initially, it felt strange, like I was cheating, casting me into a mild state of disquiet with this unaccustomed pace. Soon, this shift brought clarity. One Saturday dawn, an aimless run led me to a reservoir. As I watched the sunlight sparkling on the water, I realized I hadn’t checked my electronic watch even once — no thoughts of pace or distance, just pure pleasure in running. That’s when it hit me: The essence of running doesn’t lie in pursuing data but in fully inhabiting the present, embracing surrounding delights and connecting with my body, nature and the world. That, indeed, is the greatest personal best of all. Now, I run to unwind after a long workday, to bond with friends and to witness sunrises. Occasionally I race at full speed, only when it feels fulfilling, not driven by a device and letting go of the need to prove myself. 4. What does paragraph 1 indicate about the author? A. He was keen on running aimlessly. B. He excelled in plotting running routes. C. He tended to run at a constant pace. D. He took his running performance too seriously. 5. What does the underlined word “revelation” in paragraph 2 probably refer to? A. A universal cure. B. A refreshing discovery. C. An ethical option. D. A long-awaited miracle. 6. How did the author feel in his first attempt at trail running? A. Uncomfortable. B. Relieved. C. Pessimistic. D. Determined. 7. What does the author’s experience show? A. Learn to walk before you run. B. Slow and steady wins the race. C. Running is about joy not figures. D. A thousand-mile journey begins with a single step. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】作者曾痴迷跑步数据，受伤后转变心态，领悟跑步的本质是享受当下，而非追逐数据。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Several years ago, I was addicted to personal bests (PBs). I treated every run as a never-ceasing battle against time with my GPS watch serving as my judge. Failure seemed certain unless I hit the target pace while success merely fueled the urge to map out how to go faster next time.(几年前，我痴迷于刷新个人最佳成绩。我把每一次跑步都看作一场和时间永不停歇的较量，GPS手表就是我的裁判。除非达到目标配速，否则失败似乎是肯定的；而一旦成功，只会催生出强烈念头——盘算着下一次怎样跑得更快。)”可知，作者曾经把跑步成绩看得太重。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“It came as a revelation: I noticed the golden color of dusk filtering through oak leaves, the laughter of children echoing from the playground and the smell of freshly baked bread floating from a nearby bakery.(这让我有一个revelation：我注意到黄昏的金色霞光穿过橡树叶，听见操场上回荡着孩子们的欢笑，还闻到附近面包店飘来刚出炉面包的香气。)”可知，作者有了令人耳目一新的发现，所以猜测revelation指让人豁然开朗的新发现。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Then trail running, where roots and rocks demand full attention to footing rather than speed, became my new pursuit. Initially, it felt strange, like I was cheating, casting me into a mild state of disquiet with this unaccustomed pace. Soon, this shift brought clarity.(于是越野跑成了我的新追求。在越野跑中，树根与乱石要求我全神贯注留意脚下路况，而非追逐速度。起初，这种感觉很怪异，仿佛自己在作弊，这种不习惯的节奏让我隐隐有些不安。很快，这种转变让我豁然开朗。)”可知，作者初次尝试越野跑时感觉不舒服。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“That’s when it hit me: The essence of running doesn’t lie in pursuing data but in fully inhabiting the present, embracing surrounding delights and connecting with my body, nature and the world.(就在那一刻，我猛然醒悟：跑步的真谛不在于追逐数据，而在于全身心活在当下，拥抱周遭的乐趣，与自己的身体、自然和这个世界相融。)”可知，作者的经历说明跑步重在快乐而非数字。 C One billion people in the world are short of water. How can this problem be solved? Some suggestions have been to desalinate ocean water or to build enormous water pipelines from areas where water is abundant. (Suggestions such as these prove extremely expensive when they are actually used.) One possibility that scientists are considering is pulling icebergs (冰山) from either the North Pole or the South Pole to parts of the world with a water shortage. Although many questions must be answered before such a project could be tried, moving icebergs seems a reasonable possibility in the future. Engineers, mathematicians, and glaciologists from a dozen countries have been considering the iceberg as a future source of water. Saudi Arabia is particularly interested in this project because it has a great water shortage. Scientists estimate that it would take 128 days to transport a large iceberg(about 1/2 square mile) to Saudi Arabia. Yet the iceberg would be completely melted by the 104th day. Therefore, insulation would be essential, but how to insulate the iceberg remains an unsolved problem. The problems in transporting an iceberg are numerous. The first problem is choosing the iceberg to pull. The icebergs that form in the North Pole are quite difficult to handle because of their shape. Only a small portion extends above the water — most of the iceberg is below the surface, which would make it difficult to pull. South Pole icebergs, on the other hand, are flat and float like table tops. Thus they would be much easier to move. How can a 200-million-ton iceberg be moved? No ship is strong enough to pull such enormous weight through the water. Perhaps several ships could be used. Attaching ropes to an iceberg this size is also an enormous problem. Engineers think that large nails or long metal rods could be driven into the ice. What would happen if the iceberg splits into several pieces during the pulling? Even if an iceberg with very few cracks were chosen, how could it be pulled through stormy waters? Furthermore, once the iceberg reached its destination, very few ports would be deep enough to store it. All of these problems must be solved before icebergs can become a reasonable source of water. Yet scientists estimate that it will be possible to transport them in the near future. Each year, enough icebergs form to supply the whole world with fresh water for a full year. In addition, icebergs are free and nonpolluting. As a solution to the world’s water problems, icebergs may be a workable possibility. 8. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. Desalination is the best way to solve water shortage. B. Moving icebergs is proposed to replace costly water solutions. C. Most countries suffering water-shortage are located near the Poles. D. Scientists have carried out successful iceberg-transport experiments. 9. Why are Antarctic icebergs easier to transport than Arctic ones? A. More of them stay above the water. B. They rarely get broken in stormy seas. C. They need no ropes during the pulling. D. They hold more fresh water for urgent use. 10. What does the author think of transporting icebergs? A. It is ready for immediate use. B. It should replace desalination. C. It will take decades to realize. D. It is promising despite difficulties. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Icebergs: A Possible Fresh-water Supply for the World B. Polar Icebergs: Unused Natural Resources on Our Planet C. Obstacles to Bringing Polar Icebergs to Water-short Regions D. An Innovative Practice to Fight Against Worldwide Water Shortage 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了科学家们对运输冰山作为解决淡水资源缺乏问题提出的假设以及可能性，并且认为解决了一系列的问题之后，这一办法是可行的。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Some suggestions have been to desalinate ocean water or to build enormous water pipelines from areas where water is abundant. (一些方案是海水淡化或者从水源充足地区修建大型输水管道。)”以及“Although many questions must be answered before such a project could be tried, moving icebergs seems a reasonable possibility in the future.(虽然实施该项目前还有很多问题要解决，但搬运冰山在未来是一个可行方案。)”可知，搬运冰山的建议被提出，用来替代成本高昂的取水方案。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The icebergs that form in the North Pole are quite difficult to handle because of their shape. Only a small portion extends above the water — most of the iceberg is below the surface, which would make it difficult to pull. South Pole icebergs, on the other hand, are flat and float like table tops. Thus they would be much easier to move.(在北极形成的冰山很难处理，原因在于它们的形状。冰山只有一小部分露出水面 —— 大部分冰体都在水面之下，这就导致很难拖拽。而南极的冰山则不一样，它们顶部平坦，像桌面一样浮在水上，因此更容易搬运。)”可知，南极冰山相比北极冰山更容易运输。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“All of these problems must be solved before icebergs can become a reasonable source of water. Yet scientists estimate that it will be possible to transport them in the near future.(在冰山成为合理的水源前，所有这些问题都必须解决。但科学家预估，在不久的将来运送冰山是可以实现的。)”可知，作者认为运送冰山虽困难重重，但前景可观。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文特别是根据第一段“One possibility that scientists are considering is pulling icebergs (冰山) from either the North Pole or the South Pole to parts of the world with a water shortage.(科学家正在考虑一种办法：把冰山从北极或南极运到缺水地区。)”可知，文章主要讲述了科学家们对运输冰山作为解决淡水资源缺乏问题提出的假设以及可能性，并且认为解决了一系列的问题之后，这一办法是可行的。所以A项“Icebergs: A Possible Fresh-water Supply for the World(冰山：全球潜在的淡水来源)”适合作为标题。 D The trademark lawsuit between Louis Vuitton and Molly Tea looks like a simple commercial conflict, yet it exposes our deep trouble of collective cultural aphasia (失语) and the loss of discourse power over traditional Chinese patterns. Though the court’s ruling follows the law, many Chinese people feel upset. It’s said that the four-petal floral pattern LV uses to protect its trademark may have come from Tang-dynasty treasure flower patterns and ancient persimmon calyx patterns, which have been Chinese public cultural treasures for thousands of years. However, they now become exclusive commercial symbols owned by an overseas brand. Many netizens publicly consider it a “reverse exploitation”, which results from our long-time ignorance of traditional patterns. For centuries, treasure flowers, cloud patterns and Hui patterns decorate ancient paintings, porcelain and buildings, carrying Chinese beauty and good wishes. However, we have seldom systematically registered or protected them with IP (intellectual property) rights. Foreign brands have long absorbed inspiration from Chinese ancient patterns, made small changes and completed global trademark registrations. On the contrary, domestic brands use our ancestors’ patterns casually without awareness of property rights. They only realize these cultural symbols have been occupied by foreign capital when lawsuits arrive. This is typical cultural aphasia: we admire the beauty of ancient patterns, but fail to guard their legal rights; we love national trend aesthetics (美学), but lack a complete system to protect traditional culture. Collective cultural aphasia may not merely allow foreign brands to privatize those symbols, but also block the development of domestic Chinese-style industries. If local brands face huge fines every time they use native ancient patterns, it will be hard to pass down traditional beauty. For a long time, we only enjoy the artistic heritage left by our ancestors passively, instead of actively registering patterns, building digital databases and perfecting relevant laws. As a result, precious cultural resources may fall into the hands of foreign businesses. Joint efforts are essential to fix this problem. The government should build a public pattern database and clarify usage rules. Enterprises need to value traditional cultural IP and create original Chinese-style works. With enhanced cultural confidence, we can safeguard our unique cultural symbols and let Eastern aesthetics develop sustainably. 12. What does the phrase “reverse exploitation” in paragraph 2 mainly reflect? A. Domestic brands use foreign classic patterns. B. Chinese firms recover cultural symbols via lawsuits. C. Foreign brands profit from Chinese cultural resources. D. Courts fine foreign brands for copying Chinese local designs. 13. Why do domestic brands easily get into trademark trouble? A. They simply copy foreign brands. B. They lack IP protection awareness. C. They fail to build digital databases. D. They refuse to follow the new laws. 14. What danger may cultural aphasia bring? A. Traditional art will lose its beauty. B. Laws will be abandoned completely. C. Foreign brands will vanish gradually. D. It holds back the growth of home industries. 15. What is the best way to solve collective cultural aphasia? A. Build a public pattern database. B. Protect cultural symbols unitedly. C. Depend on the government’s efforts. D. Create original Chinese-style works. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章主要讨论了LV 与Molly Tea商标案暴露出我国传统纹样的文化失语问题，缺乏知识产权保护，多方合力才能守护传统文化符号。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“It’s said that the four-petal floral pattern LV uses to protect its trademark may have come from Tang-dynasty treasure flower patterns and ancient persimmon calyx patterns, which have been Chinese public cultural treasures for thousands of years. However, they now become exclusive commercial symbols owned by an overseas brand.( 据说，LV用于保护商标的四瓣花卉图案可能源自唐代的宝相花纹和古代柿子果托纹，这些图案数千年来一直是中国公共文化瑰宝。然而如今，它们却变成了由海外品牌独占的商业符号。)”以及第二段中“Many netizens publicly consider it a “reverse exploitation”, which results from our long-time ignorance of traditional patterns.( 许多网友公开认为，这属于“逆向剥削”，源于我们长期以来对传统图案的疏于关注。)”可推知，第二段中的“逆向剥削”一词主要反映了外国品牌从中国文化资源中获利。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“On the contrary, domestic brands use our ancestors’ patterns casually without awareness of property rights. They only realize these cultural symbols have been occupied by foreign capital when lawsuits arrive.( 相反，国内品牌随意使用祖先的图案，却对知识产权缺乏意识。直到诉讼出现时，他们才意识到这些文化符号已被外国资本占据。)”可知，国内品牌容易陷入商标纠纷是因为他们缺乏知识产权保护意识。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Collective cultural aphasia may not merely allow foreign brands to privatize those symbols, but also block the development of domestic Chinese-style industries.( 这种集体性的文化失语症不仅可能让外国品牌私有化这些符号，还可能阻碍本土中式产业的发展。)”可知，文化性失语症可能会阻碍本土产业的发展。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Joint efforts are essential to fix this problem. The government should build a public pattern database and clarify usage rules. Enterprises need to value traditional cultural IP and create original Chinese-style works. With enhanced cultural confidence, we can safeguard our unique cultural symbols and let Eastern aesthetics develop sustainably.( 解决这一问题需要多方共同努力。政府应建立公共图案数据库，并明确使用规则。企业需要重视传统文化知识产权，创作具有中国特色的原创作品。通过增强文化自信，我们可以守护独特的文化符号，让东方美学得以可持续发展。)”可知，解决集体文化失语症的最佳方法是联合各方力量保护文化符号。 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。 Whether you’re an open person that has no fear of talking to strangers on the street, or the polar opposite, there are ways to deal with a culture shock.

He always finished his homework on time and never forgot to lock the door. So when his parents left for the hospital to visit his grandmother last Saturday evening, they felt safe leaving him in charge of the apartment and his eight-year-old sister, Emma. Their home was on the seventh floor of an old building. It had one door, two windows and a small balcony (阳台) at the back. “Your dinner is in the fridge,” his mother said as she put on her coat. “Just heat up the noodles and please don’t burn the kitchen down.” “I won’t,” Leo promised, and he meant it. For a while everything went as planned. Emma sat at the dining table, colouring a picture of a fat cat, while Leo boiled water and set out two bowls. Then he decided to add two fried eggs to the noodles, because Emma loved eggs and their mother was not there to say no. He poured oil into a pan, turned the gas up high, and waited for it to get hot. That was when his phone rang. It was his best friend Tom, calling to argue about the result of the basketball game they had watched together the night before. “You can’t be serious!” Leo laughed, walking into the living room with the phone against his ear. “Our team won by two points. I saw it myself.” “That last shot was outside the line,” Tom shouted back. “It should not have counted.” One minute passed. Then three. Then five. The argument was too interesting to stop, and the kitchen was too quiet to notice. A strange smell reached him first — sharp and bitter, like something burning. Then came Emma’ s small, frightened voice from the kitchen door: “Leo... the pan is making a funny noise.” Leo dropped the phone and ran. He stopped suddenly in the doorway. Bright orange flames were jumping out of the pan, reaching up towards the cupboard above the stove, and thick grey smoke was rising towards the ceiling. The smoke alarm above his head began to ring, and Emma started to cry. 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。 For a second, Leo’s mind went completely blank. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Minutes later, Leo and Emma were standing on the balcony, waving a flashlight at the street below. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: For a second, Leo’s mind went completely blank. The sight of dancing flames made his blood run cold, yet the ringing smoke alarm soon woke him up. He took a deep breath and told the terrified Emma to stay right beside him. He quickly shut off the gas. Knowing they could not fight the fire, he grabbed a flashlight, squeezed Emma’s trembling hand and headed for the balcony. He shut the kitchen door tightly to stop the fire and heavy smoke from spreading. Minutes later, Leo and Emma were standing on the balcony, waving a flashlight at the street below. A passerby caught sight of the light and called the fire department immediately. Firemen arrived shortly and managed to put out the fire. Luckily, only the pan and the cupboard were damaged; both kids were safe. When their parents rushed home, they hugged them tightly, full of relief. From this terrible experience, Leo learned that one should never leave cooking food unattended, even for just a few minutes. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了十六岁的Leo在父母外出时照顾八岁的妹妹Emma，因接电话分心导致厨房油锅起火，最终冷静应对、带妹妹到阳台求助并成功脱险的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写Leo从惊慌中回过神来，迅速关掉燃气、带着Emma撤离到阳台，并关紧厨房门防止火势和浓烟蔓延的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写路人发现灯光后报警、消防员赶到扑灭火灾、父母赶回家后的安慰，以及Leo从中吸取的教训。 2.续写线索：惊慌——冷静——关气——撤离——关门——求助——获救——感悟 3.词汇激活行为类 ①关掉：shut off/turn off ②抓住：grab/seize 情绪类 ①害怕的：terrified/frightened ②如释重负：full of relief/relieved 【点睛】【高分句型1】Knowing they could not fight the fire, he grabbed a flashlight, squeezed Emma's trembling hand and headed for the balcony.（现在分词短语Knowing...作原因状语） 【高分句型2】From this terrible experience, Leo learned that one should never leave cooking food unattended, even for just a few minutes.（that引导的宾语从句作learned的宾语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
