七选五答案：
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文用一些具体事例解释了俚语“a big fish in a small pond(小池塘里的大鱼)”的含义.
36．根据上文“The idiom “a big fish in a small pond” describes a person who is very well known or important in a small group but is not known or important outside that small group. For example, a high-performing high school student in a small town could be a big fish in a small pond.”（“小池塘里的大鱼”描述的是一个人，他在一个小群体中非常有名或重要，但在这个小群体之外却不知名或不重要。例如，小镇上表现优异的高中生可能是小池塘里的一条大鱼。）可知，“小池塘里的大鱼”指小团体中的杰出者在团体外不知名。后文“And he may simply not know how small his “pond” is-until he moves on to a big university.”（他可能根本不知道自己的“池塘”有多小——直到他进入一所大大学。）说明“他”直到进入大学才意识到自己并没有那么杰出。因此可推断，设空处是解释表现优异的高中生感觉自己很重要。故选C.
37．根据上文“He must compete with hundreds of students who were also the best at their high schools.”（他必须与数百名高中成绩最好的学生竞争。）可知，“他”的竞争者多了，也就是说“他”所在的“池塘”更大了。F项“他的池塘变得更大了，现在装了更多的鱼。”符合语境。故选F.
38．根据上文“A young singer was famous in his small town. He wanted to move to a big city to grow his singing career. ”（一位年轻的歌手在她的小镇上很有名。她想搬到一个大城市来发展她的歌唱事业。）可知，这位在小镇出名的歌手想要去大城市发展。再根据后文““Here in our small town”, they said, “you are a big fish in a small pond. Once you move to New York , that is going to change. Best be ready! ”（他们说“在我们的小镇上，你是小池塘里的一条大鱼。一旦你搬到纽约市，情况就会改变，最好做好准备！”。）可知，他们的家人也告诫她要做好心理准备。由以上可推断，设空处描写他们的家人支持她的同时也给她一些警告。故选A.
39．设空处位于句首，可起到概括总结的作用。根据后文“They never grow their circle of friends or work environment. Sometimes they do not take opportunities that increase their environment, or pond. By staying in a small pond, it is safer.”（他们从来没有扩大自己的朋友圈或工作环境。有时，它们不抓住增加环境或池塘的机会。呆在小池塘里更安全。）可知，有些人不愿意改变处境，更倾向于选择安逸。故B项“现在，有些人喜欢在小池塘里做一条大鱼。”能概括此段内容。故选B.
40．根据上文“So sometimes we use this expression to describe people who want to stay in a small pond just to feel more important.”（所以有时我们用这个表达来形容那些想呆在小池塘里，只是为了感觉自己更重要的人。）可知，设空处是对这一定义的进一步解释。因此E项“他们的地位没有受到池塘里其他鱼的质疑。”符合语境。故选E.
完型填空答案：41-55 CBAAC BCCBA BAACC
41.C考察动词短语。A.step away from “逃离”B put up with “提出”，C reflect on 反思，D.make up for “弥补，消除”。根据语境，“我”反思过去一年的痛苦.
42.B
43.A季节交替，冬天之后是春天的到来。
44.A.考察名词。新年决定在我心中形成.
45C．考对语境地理解。因为我的新年决定是“Less grief, more green”，所以我很高兴地报名the Arnold Arboretum training program。
46.B.考察动词provide sb with sth和provide sth for sb的用法.
47.C短语 bury oneself into sth or doing sth. 埋头与.
48.C.动词的意思。the seeds 的作用是确保种族的延续.

50.A. pile off 成群地离开.
51.B
52.A.我的感觉活跃起来并扩展了。Expand扩展的意思.

语法填空答案：
will be used 考查一般将来时的被动语态.
marking. 分词短语作状语的用法.
globally 考查词性地转化.
the 考查冠词。统一指代所有的“办公室”.
disappointed 考查词性转换。由句子结构得知，feeling系动词后应用形容词，再根据句义“当你想要体验一个大屏的多人体感游戏却没有设配的时候，会感到失望？
which/ that 考查连词。该空的连词引导定语从句且在从句中担当主语，故用which/that。
seconds 考查名词。根据句义和结构，“用不了几秒钟”.
63.allows 考查动词时态及主谓一致。借助上下文的动词可以判断该句时态是一般现在时，主语是单数，故用allows.
64.with. interact with 与···互动
65. attractive 考查词性转换 “as…as”结构中间用形容词，换作attractive在该句中作表语。

Paragraph 1:
Jenny agreed and went to her grandma's later. She told her grandma what had happened, After hearing what Jenny said, her grandma took out a picture and asked her what she thought of it. Jenny said frankly, "It doesn't look good." Her grandma smiled and then took out another. Then her grandma asked again, "What about this one " "It is really great!" said Jenny, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
Paragraph 2:
Looking at the two pictures, Jenny asked who drew them. Her grandma said they were both drawn by her, which greatly surprised Jenny. Her grandma told her the one that looked terrible was drawn by her recently while the one that looked great was drawn by her as a child. "I had a gift for drawing when I was little. However, I gave up drawing because I lost interest in it, thinking it tiring and boring. And gradually I lost my gift," her grandma said regretfully. Hearing that, Jenny decided to go back to her drawing classes because she still wanted to pursue her dream of being an artist and didn't want to lose her gift.

Although there are no guarantees when it comes to preventing memory loss, certain activities might
help. Consider the following simple ways to sharpen your memory.
Include Physical Activity in Your Daily Routine
Physical activity increases blood flow to your whole body, including your brain. This might help keep
your memory sharp.
Stay Mentally Active
Just as physical activity helps keep your body in shape, mentally stimulating activities help keepyour brain in shape and might keep memory loss at bay. Do crossword puzzles. Take alternate routes when driving. Volunteer at a local school or community organization.
Socialize Regularly
Social interaction helps ward off depression and stress. Look for opportunities to get together with loved ones, friends and others, especially if you live alone.
Sleep Well
Sleep plays an important role in helping you consolidate your memories, so you can recall them down the road. Make getting enough sleep a priority.
Eat a Healthy Diet
A healthy diet might be as good for your brain as it is for your heart. Eat fruits, vegetables and whole grains. What you drink counts, too. Too much alcohol can lead to confusion and memory loss.贵池区2023～2024学年度第一学期期中教学质量检测

Evelyn Glennie is a unique musician. She is a percussionist (打击乐手) who plays with classical orchestras. When she performs, she hits the gongs, snare drums, vibraphones, timbales, cymbals, conga drums, bells, and bass drums that are in front of her. Although classical musicians usually wear formal clothes in concert, Glennie performs in bare feet. What really sets her apart, though, is that she is a musician who can not hear. Glennie has been almost totally deaf since she was 12 years old. Despite being deaf, she has become the first solo star to play her type of percussion instruments in classical music.
Glennie was born in Aberdeen, Scotland. At the age of eight, she started taking piano lessons. She found that she preferred the drums, so she began to concentrate on other percussion instruments. Her doctors were never able to find out why she started to lose her hearing. By the time Glennie was 12, most of her hearing was gone. Glennie stayed in her school and learned to read lips. She also continued her music lessons. She learned how to play percussion instruments by using her sense of touch. She learned to feel the difference between high and low notes. She became very sensitive to the vibrations created by different sounds. Glennie took off her shoes to make it easier for her to feel the vibrations made by her instruments.
Glennie was very talented. At 16 she was accepted to the Royal Academy of Music in London, England. She was the music school’s first solo percussion student, graduating when she was 19. To build her career, she performed anywhere she could. There was very little solo music written for her instruments, so she asked for percussion music to be written for her. She then performed the new pieces in her solo concerts. Glennie attracted attention by performing in radio and television concerts. One 1988 concert was recorded live and made into a CD. This recording earned Glennie her first Grammy Award for a classical music performance.
Today Glennie performs all around the world. In addition to classical orchestras, she plays with folk musicians and rock stars. She has written music for movies, television shows, and commercials. Every year more new compositions are written for Glennie to perform. She has even taken up a new instrument: the bagpipes. Glennie considers herself a pioneer in music, not because she is deaf but because she has become a solo percussion star in classical music.
24. What can we infer from the passage
A. Glennie wears formal clothes when she performs.
B. Glennie was talented in music.
C. Glennie entered the Royal Academy of Music when she was only 12 years old.
D. Glennie hates to play with other musicians.
25. What makes Glennie so different from other musicians
A. She can performs kinds of musicial instruments

D. She is a pioneer in music.
26. In the future, Glennie will most likely________.
A. always perform with other musicians in concert B. quit playing classical music in concert
C. learn to play other musical instruments D. focus on studying the piano again
27. Which is the best summary of the passage
A. Deaf as she is, Evelyn Glennie is an award-winning solo percussionist who performs mainly classical music.
B. When Evelyn Glennie found that there was little music written for solo percussionists, she didn’t give up
C. Although classical musicians usually wear formal clothes in concert, Evelyn Glennie performs barefoot.
D. Evelyn Glennie lost her hearing at a young age, and doctors were never able to find out why.
C
Every Christmas, the firm I worked for raised money for disadvantaged kids in the area, and every Christmas I’d drive out with colleagues to deliver gifts. Some years ago, we were returning to work and stopped at an intersection as the lights turned red.
We were in the middle lane and I became aware of an SUV(越野车) coming up behind us at speed. At the last moment, it switched to the righthand lane and carried straight on past the red light into traffic moving west to east. It crashed into another vehicle, causing it to veer off(转向), then they both skidded to a stop.
There was a loud “Bang” and flames leapt from the SUV’s front. I had been a volunteer firefighter for many years and had attended automobile accidents before. As the flames grew fiercer, I knew the car’s battery had exploded and that there was no time to lose. I dashed round to the passenger side.The door was locked, but by pulling on the window frame, I managed to tear it open. I leaned in, unbuckled the driver’s belt and pulled him across to the passenger side.
Other than some cuts, he was fine. I left him with my workmates and went to check on the driver of the other car, who was also unhurt. Then I headed back to the intersection, where I directed traffic around the burning vehicle until the emergency services arrived.
On the way back to work, I said to my colleagues: “What you saw, keep it under your hats, OK ” But an hour later I had a call from a friend on a local TV station. “Brad” he said, “I have a picture here that someone’s sent in of you helping out at a traffic accident.”
I hoped that would be the end of it, but the story was to have an unexpected ending. A couple of weeks after the accident, I agreed to a televised reunion with Michael Walker, the guy I’d pulled from the car. He thanked me, and then he introduced me to his daughter, Amber. It turned out she had been separated from her mum and dad, but returned home after the accident. Knowing this family had been reunited was a great comfort to me—a real Christmas gift.
28. The traffic accident was caused by .
A. the SUV driver drove carelessly at the intersection. B. the SUV driver jumped the red light.
C. the author’s car blocking the way. D. the heavy traffic during Christmas.
29. Who saved the trapped driver from the burning car
A. The author’s workmates. B. The author. C. The emergency services. D. A pedestrian.
30. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 5 mean
A. Keep it a secret. B. Hide the face. C. Cover up the hair. D. Bear it in mind.
31. What was a real Christmas gift to the author
A. The reunion with the saved driver. B. Acquaintance with Michael’ s daughter.
C. Raising money for disadvantaged kids. D. Michael’ s family reunion after the accident.
D
A group of scientists at Georgia Tech University have recently studied the ways that elephants use sucking power when eating. Along the way, the scientists have learned a number of other surprising things elephants can do with their trunks.
Elephants' trunks are incredible. They weigh over 91 kilograms, but there are no bones in an elephant's trunk. That helps explain how they can bend and twist, and be used in so many different ways.
Elephants use their trunks to breathe, to smell and to make sounds. Though trunks aren’t connected to elephants’ stomachs, they are used to grab around 180 kilograms of food every day and bring it to elephants’ mouths. Elephants also use their trunks to suck up water to squirt（喷射）into their mouths or on their backs.
But elephants’ trunks are also strong enough to be used for fighting. They’re made of pure muscle, and can lift items as heavy as 350 kilograms. The scientists wanted to learn more about how elephants’ trunks handle small things that don’t weigh much.
For African elephants, part of that answer lies in the two finger-like tips they have at the end of their trunks, which allow them to grab things. The scientists studied the African elephants at Zoo Atlanta. They gave the elephants small cubes of a vegetable called a rutabaga. If there were just a few cubes, the elephant would use its fingers to pick them up. But if there were 10 or more cubes, the elephant would suck the cubes up with its trunk and then put them in its mouth.
The elephants could even use suction to lift up something as thin and fragile as a tortilla chip（圆饼片）without breaking it. They did it the same way a person might lift a piece of paper with his mouth by sucking in. That gentleness is surprising in a tool as powerful as an elephant’s trunk.
32. Which is the feature of the elephant's trunk
A. It’s unique and precious. B. It’s connected to the stomach.
C. It’s both strong and flexible. D. It’s made of muscles and bones.
33. What is an elephant’s trunk usually used for according to the text
A. Carrying objects while traveling. B. Storing a large amount of water.
C. Feeding food and helping drink water. D. Smelling and tasting its food.
34. How did the elephant grab a tortilla chip in the test
A. Picking it up with the tips of its trunk. B. Breaking and lifting it with great power.
C. Catching hold of it with its mouth.... D. Sucking it up gently with its trunk.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. Elephants’ Trunks, Amazing and Surprising Tools.
B. Scientists Test the Suction of Elephants’ Trunks.
C. An Elephant’s Trunk Is Important to the World.
D. The Elephants, Big Creatures with Curiosity.
第二节（共5小题, 每小题2. 5分, 共12. 5分）
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。
The idiom “a big fish in a small pond” describes a person who is very well known or important in a small group but is not known or important outside that small group. For example, a high-performing high school student in a small town could be a big fish in a small pond. 36 And he may simply not know how small his “pond” is until he moves on to a big university. He must compete with hundreds of students who were also the best at their high schools. 37
Here is another example. A young singer was famous in his small town. He wanted to move to a big city to grow his singing career. 38 “Here in our small town,” they said, “you are a big fish in a small pond. Once you move to New York City, that is going to change. Better be ready!” For some people, this can be a painful realization, sometimes called a wake-up call.
39 They never grow their circle of friends or work environment. Sometimes they do not take opportunities that increase their environment, or pond. By staying in a small pond, it is safer. There are fewer dangers and also fewer competitors.
The Merriam-Webster online dictionary explains another way to use the idiom. It can also describe a situation where one person has more power, influence, knowledge,or experience than others within a small group. So sometimes we use this expression to describe people who want to stay in a small pond just to feel more important. 40
A. His family supported him but also warned him.
B. Now, some people like being a big fish in a small pond.
C. He may feel overly-confident or overly-important.
D. People have been using this expression since the early 1800s.
E. Their position is not questioned by the other fish in the pond.
F. His pond just got much larger and is now filled with many more fish.
G. A pond is a small body of water, which is usually smaller than a lake.

Jenny liked drawing and her parents thought she had a gift for drawing. So her parents were planning to send her to an art school for drawing classes.
One day, when Jenny returned from school, her mother said, “Jenny, do you want to go to an art school, where you can learn to draw in your spare time ” Hearing that, Jenny was very excited and happily agreed since being an artist was always her dream.
The following day, Jenny’s parents took her to the art school which was a thirty-minute bus ride away from their home. They enrolled Jenny in a drawing class in that school. Then, Jenny started taking classes regularly. At first, she showed great interest and listened carefully in class. She practiced hard in order to do better in drawing. However, some weeks later, Jenny got tired of going to the class. It was very hot at that time of the year. She often had to walk in the hot sun to get to the bus stop. What was worse, she found that drawing wasn’t as easy as she had thought. She was told that it’d take many years for her to be a real artist, so she wanted to give up.
One day, when it was time for her to go to the class, she didn’t leave home. Her mother looked at the wall clock and said, “Honey, it’s already three o’clock now. Your class begins in just half an hour. You should hurry.” But Jenny didn’t move. She said, “I' m not going. In fact, I am tired of drawing.” Her mother was very surprised. She asked her why. Jenny told her what she thought. Her mother thought for a while and said, “You can take a break if you really don’t want to go to your drawing class now. Go and pay a visit to your grandma. If you still don’t want to go after you come back from your grandma’s, then I’ll call your teacher and tell her your decision.”
