Let’s learn about these tasty “ice creams” around the world and awaken your inner child!● Raspado, MexicoRaspados are the Mexican version of American snow cones (冰沙). But while snow cones are made using overly sweet syrup (糖浆), raspados have real fruits or fresh fruit juices. The sweet and cold treat is everywhere throughout Mexico and sold at street carts (手推车). You won’t find Mexicans eating their raspados in cones since they’re only served in cups. ● Kakigori, JapanIt may be made of ice, but kakigori, the Japanese version of ice cream, is most definitely not a snow cone. It melts in your mouth just like a creamy ice cream. Chefs make kakigori by shaving ice from ice blocks until it builds into a soft pile. Then, syrups of various flavors, like green tea, strawberry, grape and melon, are added to the ice. Kakigori is almost always served in a bowl, and it’s not unusual to find sweet shops offering toppings as the final touch, most commonly red bean paste or fresh fruit. ● Gelato, ItalyPizza and pasta aside, gelato is considered to be Italy’s food symbol. In fact, visiting the local gelateria is a way of life for Italians. Italian gelato is lower in fat than traditional ice cream and is made with whole milk, eggs, sugar and flavoring—chocolate, hazelnut, pistachio (开心果) or vanilla (香草) ice cream mixed with pieces of chocolate are the most beloved flavors.● Dondurma, TurkeyAn ice cream that doesn’t melt Yes, that’s exactly what dondurma or Turkish ice cream is. Dondurma has an elastic texture(弹性口感) and buying dondurma is like watching a performance. The men who sell it wear traditional Turkish clothes, twist and turn the ice cream until it lands into the cone to be served. Kids and adults get a kick out of the show.1. What do Raspado and Kakigori have in common A. They have an ice cream-like texture. B. They are usually sold at street carts.C. They are made of real fruits. D. They are not served in cones.2. Which version of “ice cream” is greatly fitted into the social life of local people A. Raspado. B. Gelato. C. Dondurma. D. Kakigori.3. What is special about Dondurma A. Its popularity among people of all ages. B. Its unusual flavor combinations.C. The interesting way it’s served. D. The low fat level it has.【答案】1. D 2. B 3. C【解析】【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了世界各地的“冰淇淋”，它们有各自独特的特点和制作方式。【1题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第二段“You won’t find Mexicans eating their raspados in cones since they’re only served in cups.(你不会发现墨西哥人用锥型蛋卷装Raspados，因为Raspados只装在杯子里。)”和第三段“Kakigori is almost always served in a bowl, and it’s not unusual to find sweet shops offering toppings as the final touch, most commonly red bean paste or fresh fruit.(Kakigori几乎都是装在碗里吃的，经常会发现甜品店提供最后的配料，最常见的是红豆沙或新鲜水果。)”可知，Raspados和Kakigori都不会装在锥型蛋卷中。故选D。【2题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Pizza and pasta aside, gelato is considered to be Italy’s food symbol. In fact, visiting the local gelateria is a way of life for Italians.(除了披萨和意大利面，意大利冰淇淋被认为是意大利的食物象征。事实上，参观当地的冰淇淋店是意大利人的一种生活方式。)”可知，意大利冰淇淋已经融入了当地人的生活。故选B。3题详解】细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Dondurma has an elastic texture(弹性口感) and buying dondurma is like watching a performance. The men who sell it wear traditional Turkish clothes, twist and turn the ice cream until it lands into the cone to be served. Kids and adults get a kick out of the show.(Dondurma有弹性的质地，买Dondurma就像看表演。卖冰淇淋的人穿着传统的土耳其服装，把冰淇淋扭来扭去，直到它落在准备上桌的蛋筒里。孩子和大人都能从中得到乐趣。)”可知，，Dondurma的特殊之处在于它的服务方式，卖家穿着传统的土耳其服装，扭曲和转动冰淇淋直到它落入锥形容器中以供食用，这是一种有趣的表演。故选C。BI had always been fascinated by the use of natural treatments in healthcare. So, when I came across a local clinic that offered courses in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) several months ago, I immediately signed up for a one-year course.On the first day of class, I was looking forward to what I was going to learn. As the instructor explained the procedure, I felt a little disturbed by the thought of needles being stuck into my skin. However, I was determined to overcome my fear. Acupuncturist uses hair-thin needles to find specific areas on the body to treat pain or tension the body may be experiencing, known to help with depression, insomnia (失眠) and anxiety. The instructor told us that an acupuncturist might request patients to provide more information about their health, how to treat them, and what points are most appropriate for them. We were taught how to examine a patient’s tongue and pulse to gather evidence of any imbalances in the body. He showed us how to adjust the needle’s depth, as different organs required different depths. The needles were only a few millimetre thick and made of stainless steel, so they were solid and easy to switch out.In class, we also learned about the phenomenon of acupuncture anesthesia (麻醉) where patients could undergo surgery without conventional anesthesia using only acupuncture. As we progressed through the course, we learned about herbs and their uses. We also discussed the effects of substances such as alcohol, tobacco, and drugs on the body and how they could lead to severe anxiety and abuse.TCM dates back to ancient China, and it is a widespread practice today. It is fascinating to learn about the symbolism behind each organ and how they relate to different emotions and imbalances in the body. After a year of wrestling with the course, I have now graduated and put everything in place. Without doubt, it has been one of the most fulfilling experiences in my life.4. What made the author decide to sign up for a TCM course A. His worries about health problems. B. His interest in natural treatments.C. An accidental visit to a local clinic. D. The increasing knowledge of TCM.5. What did the instructor mainly teach in the first class A. The development of acupuncture. B. The way to perform acupuncture.C. The requirement for an acupuncture. D. The various tools used in acupuncture.6. How does the author feel about acupuncture after graduating from the course A. Easy. B. Complicated. C. Advanced. D. Worthy.7. What can be a suitable title for the text A. An encounter with TCM B. A modern change in TCMC. A course to improve my fitness D. A special acupuncture treatment【答案】4. B 5. B 6. D 7. A【解析】【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者自己参加传统中医一年制课程的经历。文章中提到了作者对自然疗法的好奇心，如何克服对针刺的恐惧，以及在学习过程中所了解到的关于针灸麻醉、草药和身体各器官与情绪、不平衡的关系等内容。【4题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第一段“I had always been fascinated by the use of natural treatments in healthcare. So, when I came across a local clinic that offered courses in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) several months ago, I immediately signed up for a one-year course.(我一直着迷于在医疗保健中使用自然疗法。因此，几个月前，当我偶然发现当地一家开设中医课程的诊所时，我立即报名参加了为期一年的课程。)”可知，作者报名参加中医课程是因为作者对自然疗法很感兴趣。故选B。【5题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Acupuncturist uses hair-thin needles to find specific areas on the body to treat pain or tension the body may be experiencing, known to help with depression, insomnia (失眠) and anxiety. The instructor told us that an acupuncturist might request patients to provide more information about their health, how to treat them, and what points are most appropriate for them. We were taught how to examine a patient’s tongue and pulse to gather evidence of any imbalances in the body.

(针灸师使用头发一样细的针来找到身体的特定部位来治疗身体可能正在经历的疼痛或紧张，这些疼痛或紧张有助于治疗抑郁、失眠和焦虑。导师告诉我们，针灸师可能会要求病人提供更多关于他们的健康状况、如何治疗以及最适合他们的穴位的信息。我们被教导如何检查病人的舌头和脉搏，以收集身体任何不平衡的证据。他教我们如何调整针的深度，因为不同的器官需要不同的深度。)”可知，作者第一天上课的时候学习了如何针灸。故选B。【6题详解】推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“It is fascinating to learn about the symbolism behind each organ and how they relate to different emotions and imbalances in the body. After a year of wrestling with the course, I have now graduated and put everything in place.

You grab the showerhead. What do you do You sing.Have you ever wondered about this phenomenon Some of us wouldn’t sing in public if someone paid us. Yet we’ll sing in the shower without embarrassment. Believe it or not, there’s a scientific explanation behind it.First, let’s look at why we’re relaxed enough in the shower to burst into song. Think about it: you don’t sing when you’re sad (unless you’re singing the blues, of course). For many people, shower time is the only time they’re alone all day. You’re in a warm, small, safe environment. You’re comfortable enough to be yourself! When you relax, your brain releases dopamine(多巴胺), which can give your creative juices an extra kickstart.Warm water is rushing over you, and now you’re relaxed and feeling good. It turns out that singing makes you feel even better. Singing, because of the breathing you put into it, gets more oxygen into the blood. This gives you better circulation, which in turn improves your body and mood. And because you have to breathe a little deeper to belt out a song, you get some of the same relaxation and mind-clearing benefits as meditation (冥想). Another neat thing is that when you’re singing, you really can’t think about your problems—more stress relief.But the best thing about singing in the shower The acoustics(音响效果)! You can never ask for a better sound system than a bathroom. Because bathroom tiles (墙砖) don’t absorb sound, your voice bounces back and forth around the room before fading away, which makes your voice hang in the air longer. And because the shower is a small space, it boosts your voice, making your singing sound more powerful. So you will sound better than you actually are, which is a confidence boost.We don’t sing in the shower simply because we have “Call Me Maybe” stuck in our heads. It turns out we do it for many reasons: stress relief, happiness, great acoustics, or maybe just because we like to hear our own voices. Whatever the reason, keep it up. It’s good for you. And if you’ve never tried it, pick a song, grab the showerhead and put on your own private concert.8. Why do many people feel comfortable singing in the shower A. The acoustics are perfect in public places. B. Shower time is relaxing and private.C. Singing boosts stress levels. D. Showering improves vocal abilities.9. What scientific effect contributes to the urge to sing in the shower A. Released dopamine due to relaxation. B. Increased exposure to blues music.C. Enhanced oxygen absorption from water. D. Strengthened lung capacity.10. Why does singing in the shower help in relieving stress A. The bathroom’s small size encourages relaxation.B. Breathing while singing improves circulation.C. Singing removes the need for deep breaths.D. Tile walls absorb sound and stress.11. In which part of a website can we probably read the text A. Science. B. Technology. C. Culture. D. People.【答案】8. B 9. A 10. B 11. A【解析】【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了洗澡时唱歌的现象和背后的科学解释。研究表明洗澡时唱歌可以释放压力、提高自信和改善心情。【8题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第三段“First, let’s look at why we’re relaxed enough in the shower to burst into song. Think about it: you don’t sing when you’re sad (unless you’re singing the blues, of course). For many people, shower time is the only time they’re alone all day. You’re in a warm, small, safe environment. You’re comfortable enough to be yourself! When you relax, your brain releases dopamine(多巴胺), which can give your creative juices an extra kickstart.(首先，让我们来看看为什么我们在淋浴时足够放松，可以放声高歌。想想看：当你悲伤的时候，你是不会唱歌的(当然，除非你唱的是蓝调)。对很多人来说，淋浴时间是他们一天中唯一独处的时间。你在一个温暖、小而安全的环境里。你很舒服，可以做你自己！当你放松的时候，你的大脑会释放多巴胺，它可以让你的创造力得到额外的启动。)”可知，沐浴时间是一天中独处的时光，是私密的，在这样一个温暖、小而安全的环境里，让你感到放松，从而释放多巴胺，让你舒服， 因此沐浴时间唱歌感到舒服是因为这个时候是令人放松并私密的。故选B。【9题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第三段“When you relax, your brain releases dopamine(多巴胺), which can give your creative juices an extra kickstart.(当你放松的时候，你的大脑会释放多巴胺，它可以让你的创造力得到额外的启动。)”可知，当人们放松时，大脑会释放多巴胺，这可以给你的创造力带来额外的动力。因此，导致在淋浴时有唱歌的冲动的科学效应是放松会释放的多巴胺，多巴胺会激发创造力。故选A。【10题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Warm water is rushing over you, and now you’re relaxed and feeling good. It turns out that singing makes you feel even better. Singing, because of the breathing you put into it, gets more oxygen into the blood. This gives you better circulation, which in turn improves your body and mood. And because you have to breathe a little deeper to belt out a song, you get some of the same relaxation and mind-clearing benefits as meditation (冥想). (温暖的水流过你的身体，现在你很放松，感觉很好。事实证明，唱歌会让你感觉更好。因为你投入的呼吸，唱歌让更多的氧气进入血液。这会让你的血液循环更好，从而改善你的身体和情绪。因为你必须深呼吸才能大声唱出一首歌，所以你得到了和冥想一样的放松和头脑清醒的好处。)”可知，洗澡的时候因为投入的呼吸，会有更多的氧气进入血液，这让我们的血液循环更好，从而得到放松和清醒的头脑，从而有助于缓解压力。故选B。【11题详解】推理判断题。根据文章内容特别是第二段的“ Yet we’ll sing in the shower without embarrassment. Believe it or not, there’s a scientific explanation behind it.(但我们可以在洗澡时唱歌，不会尴尬。信不信由你，这背后是有科学解释的。)”可知，文章主要从科学角度解释了人们在洗澡时唱歌的现象，并解释了背后的科学，由此可知，这篇文章可以从网站的“科学”部分找到。故选A。D“I was not exceptional at all,” Claudia Goldin once told me of her time as an economics PhD student at the University of Chicago. But as the course progressed, she said, “I felt like lightbulbs were going on in my head.” On October 9 the brightness of those lights was confirmed, as she was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics “for having advanced our understanding of women’s labour market outcomes”.Goldin found men relatively dull, at least as a topic of study. Their labour was uniform compared to that of women, who might switch between caring for children, toiling (辛苦工作) in the family businesses or sweating somewhere else. But this complexity was harder to measure. According to America’s historical statistics, for example, their occupation was often unhelpfully listed as “wife”. So Goldin set out to measure their work properly.The standard pattern of development was once that as countries got richer, women were pulled into the labour market. But by painstakingly stitching together different data sets, Goldin established that America’s path was more complicated, and that growth in the 1800s coincided with women moving away from work other than domestic labour.Why For a start, factory jobs were harder to combine with childcare than, say, sewing at home. And richer families could afford to spare women the indignity of toil. Goldin argued that stigma (污名) reinforced this, or the idea that “only a husband who is lazy and neglectful of his family would allow his wife to do such labour.” Later the stigma faded — the office clerk job of the 20th century was easier, and consistent with the impression of a supportive spouse. With the arrival of tight labour markets in the 1950s, discriminatory policies against hiring married women were virtually abandoned.Today, women still work and earn less than men. As social norms have shifted and real barriers have fallen, Goldin says that most of the remaining gender gaps facing college-educated women are due to something else. So-called “greedy jobs” reward round-the-clock work and are conflicting with being on call for children. Perhaps men should also share the family burden and allow their partners to be more professionally involved instead.12. How does Claudia Goldin find women’s domestic labour A Complicated to understand. B. Tricky to assess.C. Less changeable than men’s work. D. More valuable than men’s career.13. Which of the following is the case for American women in the 1800s A. They took an active part in workforce.B. They were comfortable enough not to work.C. They stood a good chance in office jobs.D. They were still stuck in household chores.14. Why does the author mention “greedy jobs” in paragraph 5 A. To explain the current gender gaps.B To introduce the employee reward system.C. To call on men to stay at home.D. To expose the greedy nature of capitalists.15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text A Gender Pay Gap Research Wins the Nobel Prize in EconomicsB. How Goldin Transformed Our Understanding of Women’s WorkC. Women’s Century-Long Journey Toward EqualityD. Do Greedy Jobs Cause the Gender Pay Inequality【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. B【解析】【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要是通过介绍诺贝尔经济学奖获得者Goldin关于美国女性职场收入的相关研究，介绍了其研究是如何转变了我们对女性工作的理解。【12题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中的“But this complexity was harder to measure.(但这种复杂性很难衡量。)”可知，Claudia Goldin认为女性家务劳动的复杂度更加难以衡量或评估。故选B。【13题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中的“But by painstakingly stitching together different data sets, Goldin established that America’s path was more complicated, and that growth in the 1800s coincided with women moving away from work other than domestic labour.(但是，通过煞费苦心地将不同的数据集拼接在一起，Goldin确定了美国的发展道路更为复杂，19世纪的经济增长与女性从家务劳动以外的工作中解脱出来相吻合。)”可知，19世纪的经济增长让女性从家务劳动以外的工作中解脱出来，可得出19世纪美国女性还在做家务。故选D。【14题详解】推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Today, women still work and earn less than men. As social norms have shifted and real barriers have fallen, Goldin says that most of the remaining gender gaps facing college-educated women are due to something else. So-called “greedy jobs” reward round-the-clock work and are conflicting with being on call for children.(今天，女性仍然工作，挣得比男性少。Goldin说，随着社会规范的转变和真正的障碍的消失，大多数受过大学教育的女性面临的剩余性别差距是由于其他原因造成的。所谓的“贪婪工作”奖励的是24小时的工作，并且与随时为孩子服务相冲突。)”可以综合推断，作者提及“贪婪的工作”的用意是要解释目前存在的职场性别差距的原因，即这种贪婪工作的职场文化鼓励没日没夜的工作模式，而这与女性需要随时待命照顾孩子的家庭职责相冲突。故选A。【15题详解】主旨大意题。综合全文各段大意，尤其是第一段中的“On October 9 the brightness of those lights was confirmed, as she was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics “for having advanced our understanding of women’s labour market outcomes”.(10月9日，当她“因为推动了我们对女性劳动力市场结果的理解”被授予诺贝尔经济学奖时，这些光芒得到了证实。)”可以得知，本文主要是通过介绍诺贝尔经济学奖获得者Goldin关于美国女性职场收入的相关研究，介绍了其研究是如何转变了我们对女性工作的理解，因此最好的题目是B选项“How Goldin Transformed Our Understanding of Women’s Work(Goldin如何改变了我们对女性工作的理解)”，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。Walking has been considered as one of the best possible exercises. For many people, daily walking offers massive and long-term physical and mental benefits. ____16____ A Stanford University study found that participants were more creative when walking as opposed to sitting.____17____ You’ve probably heard the phrase “exercise your creativity”. Our creative mindset is triggered by physical movement, which is exactly why walking with your dog, a friend, or alone feeds creative thinking.But the scenery is almost as important as the sweat. Just by going outside, you are stepping out of your habitual surroundings and your comfort zone, which is necessary if you want to open your mind to new possibilities. You can walk through a tree-filled neighborhood. ____18____ Even when you walk down a busy street, you can’t help but get distracted by the sweet smells from a food cart or the child pointing to a building you haven’t even noticed before.Walking outside cultivates our ability to collect new ideas and take in new sights, sounds, smells, and flavors. Shinrin-yoku, a common form of relaxation in Japan, suggests that being in the forest and walking among the trees there can lower your stress levels. ____19____ Research has shown that immersion in nature around your neighborhood or the disconnection from multimedia increased performance on a creative problem-solving task.So instead of setting a fitness goal, why not set a creativity goal that starts with walking outdoors ____20____ For example, you can turn off your phone and give yourself the chance to be present in the world, to hear conversations and natural sounds, and to notice the way people move and the way the sun reflects in a lake.Walk not just for exercise. Walk for wonder.A. Unfortunately, you often fail to do it.B. Engage more closely with your surroundings.C. The movement aspect of walking is obviously key.D. Without enough energy, you cannot wonder or create.E. But to receive the benefits, you do not have to live in a forest.F. This habit, however, isn’t just a beneficial pursuit but an element of innovation.G. Alternatively, you can wander around a park and observe people relaxing or birds singing.【答案】16. F 17. C 18. G 19. E 20. B【解析】【导语】这是一篇说明文。散步不仅对身心健康有好处，还有助于激发创造力，文章对此进行了介绍。【16题详解】根据前文“Walking has been considered as one of the best possible exercises. For many people, daily walking offers massive and long-term physical and mental benefits.(散步被认为是最好的运动之一。对许多人来说，每天散步对身体和精神都有巨大而长期的好处。)”和后文“A Stanford University study found that participants were more creative when walking as opposed to sitting.(斯坦福大学的一项研究发现，参与者在走路时比坐着时更有创造力。)”可知，此处是指散步不仅对身心健康有好处，还有助于创造，所以选项F“然而，这种习惯不仅是一种有益的追求，也是一种创新的元素。”切合文意。故选F。【17题详解】根据后文“Our creative mindset is triggered by physical movement, which is exactly why walking with your dog, a friend, or alone feeds creative thinking.(我们的创造性思维是由身体运动引发的，这就是为什么和你的狗、朋友或独自散步能激发创造性思维的原因。)”可知，此处是指散步带来的身体运动是激发创造力的关键，所以选项C“散步的运动方面显然是关键。”切合文意。故选C。【18题详解】根据前文“You can walk through a tree-filled neighborhood.(你可以穿过绿树成荫的社区。)”和后文“Even when you walk down a busy street, you can’t help but get distracted by the sweet smells from a food cart or the child pointing to a building you haven’t even noticed before.(即使当你走在繁忙的街道上，你也会忍不住被食品车散发出的甜味或孩子指着一栋你以前从未注意到的建筑分散注意力。)”可知，此处是讲散步场景的几个选项，所以选项G“或者，你可以在公园里闲逛，观察人们放松或鸟儿唱歌。”切合文意。故选G。【19题详解】根据后文“Research has shown that immersion in nature around your neighborhood or the disconnection from multimedia increased performance on a creative problem-solving task.(研究表明，沉浸在周围的自然环境中，或者远离多媒体，会提高创造性问题解决任务的表现。)”和前文“Walking outside cultivates our ability to collect new ideas and take in new sights, sounds, smells, and flavors. Shinrin-yoku, a common form of relaxation in Japan, suggests that being in the forest and walking among the trees there can lower your stress levels.(在户外散步可以培养我们收集新想法的能力，也可以吸收新的景象、声音、气味和味道。Shinrin-yoku是日本一种常见的放松方式，它建议在森林里，在树中间散步，可以降低你的压力水平。)”可知，此处是指也不是一定要在森林里才能得到这些好处，所以选项E“但要获得这些好处，你不一定要住在森林里。”切合文意，引出下文提及可以沉浸在周围的自然环境中，或者远离多媒体。故选E。【20题详解】根据后文“For example, you can turn off your phone and give yourself the chance to be present in the world, to hear conversations and natural sounds, and to notice the way people move and the way the sun reflects in a lake.(例如，你可以关掉手机，让自己有机会在这个世界上，听到对话和自然的声音，注意人们移动的方式和太阳在湖中反射的方式。)”可知，此处是指沉浸在周围的环境中，所以选项B“更密切地与周围环境接触。”切合文意。故选B。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。An extreme sport like BMX (Bicycle Motocross) may not be the first thing that comes to mind to help overcome a mental health condition.

Wait. “See, Laynie,” I explained, “a whole plant will grow from this tiny seed. All we have to do is water it.”Laynie had her own watering can so she could “help” me in the garden. One day, after everything was watered, she ran to the fence and started sprinkling water on another spot. I walked over and saw a fresh patch of dirt near the fence.“Did you plant something there ” I asked.“Yes,” she said. “I’m growing a pencil. My purple pencil got too small, so I planted it.”“What But, Laynie—”I should have explained things right then, but I just muttered, “Uh…I never grew one before.”Later I got what seemed like a great idea. I dug up Laynie’s pencil and “planted” a brand-new purple pencil. Laynie was really excited when she saw it. “My pencil grew!” she shouted.A few days later, Laynie was watering on the same spot. Two days later, new crayons sticking their pointy little heads out, thanks to me. Laynie jumped up and down and yelled, “They look like flowers!” She “picked” them and ran into the house.Next, Laynie grew an adult bear doll from a tiny one, a soup spoon from a teaspoon, and a hand mirror from a piece of glass. When she claimed that she had grown these things, I just kept my mouth shut! Actually, it was fun trying to think of what should grow from Laynie’s seeds. And it was cool to see her get excited.One day I saw her patting down some dirt near the fence again, so I knew she’d just planted something. My heart dropped to my feet when she asked, “How long does it take to grow a goldfish, Brad ” I couldn’t speak.“Not long, I bet!” said Laynie. She knelt down to whisper “Grow, Molly. Grow!” before she skipped back to the house.注意：1．续写词数应为150左右；2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。I sat down with my back to the fence and thought for a long time.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Later I found Laynie sitting by the spot where Molly was buried.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________【答案】One possible version:I sat down with my back to the fence and thought for a long time. Sighing, I decided there was only one right thing to do. I got up, took some things from the shed, and went inside. When I displayed the short pencil, the crayons, the teaspoon... on the table, Laynie was dumbfounded. Then I explained how I’d dug up and replaced all of her things. “No!” she screamed, red-faced. With a big shove, she knocked everything off the table. “Laynie,” I swallowed hard and added, “Molly isn’t going to grow either.” At this, she burst into tears and ran off. The heart pierced with guilt, I felt like a worm.Later I found Laynie silting by the spot where Molly was buried. I sat down beside her, gently held her in my embrace and apologized. Laynie turned her face away. I went on, ‘‘See, you can grow things from seeds—not from pencils or... dead things. OK ” “Just seeds ” she asked, face still tear-stained. I nodded. She looked at me for a minute as if thinking about something. Later that day, after we had a funeral for Molly, I saw Laynie patting down some dirt on Molly’s grave. My heart tightened. “I’m growing some forget-me-nots, so Molly won’t forget me,” she said. This time, I thought “the green thumb” would have a real harvest.【解析】【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者让女儿帮自己种东西，天真的女儿以为什么东西都可以种，所以她种了铅笔、蜡笔、茶匙等等，作者为了维护女儿的天真，一直悄悄地让女儿种的东西“长”出来。直到女儿把金鱼埋到土里作者才解释了真相。女儿听到了真相后一时无法接受，但在作者的耐心解释下她终于理解了种植的含义。女儿亲手种下了勿忘我，希望金鱼不要忘了她，而作者也相信这次女儿种的东西一定会有真正的收获。【详解】1. 续写线索：由续写第一段首句“我背对着栅栏坐了下来，想了很久。”可知，第一段可描述作者知道不能再骗女儿了，于是向女儿解释了自己一直以来的做法，女儿听到后无法接受，跑掉了，而作者内心也非常愧疚。由续写第二段首句“后来我发现蕾妮在埋葬莫莉的地方淤积。”可知，第二段可以描述作者对女儿解释种植的真正意义，女儿也理解了只有种子才能生长出真正的东西，于是种了勿忘我。2. 段落续写：背对栅栏思索——决定告诉真相——拿出偷偷种过的东西——女儿因无法接受真相而跑掉了——自己充满愧疚——在埋金鱼的地方找到女儿——告诉女儿什么才能种——女儿接受了事实——女儿种了勿忘我，作者相信会有真正的收获3. 词汇激活：行为类①替换：replace/take the place of②大哭：burst into tears/burst out crying③道歉：apologize/make an apology情绪类①惊呆：dumbfounded/stunned/ be stricken dumb with amazement②愧疚：guilt/ compunction【点睛】【高分句型1】Then I explained how I’d dug up and replaced all of her things.(使用了how引导宾语从句)【高分句型2】The heart pierced with guilt, I felt like a worm.

Let’s learn about these tasty “ice creams” around the world and awaken your inner child!● Raspado, MexicoRaspados are the Mexican version of American snow cones (冰沙). But while snow cones are made using overly sweet syrup (糖浆), raspados have real fruits or fresh fruit juices. The sweet and cold treat is everywhere throughout Mexico and sold at street carts (手推车). You won’t find Mexicans eating their raspados in cones since they’re only served in cups. ● Kakigori, JapanIt may be made of ice, but kakigori, the Japanese version of ice cream, is most definitely not a snow cone. It melts in your mouth just like a creamy ice cream. Chefs make kakigori by shaving ice from ice blocks until it builds into a soft pile. Then, syrups of various flavors, like green tea, strawberry, grape and melon, are added to the ice. Kakigori is almost always served in a bowl, and it’s not unusual to find sweet shops offering toppings as the final touch, most commonly red bean paste or fresh fruit. ● Gelato, ItalyPizza and pasta aside gelato is considered to be Italy’s food symbol. In fact, visiting the local gelateria is a way of life for Italians. Italian gelato is lower in fat than traditional ice cream and is made with whole milk, eggs, sugar and flavoring—chocolate, hazelnut, pistachio (开心果) or vanilla (香草) ice cream mixed with pieces of chocolate are the most beloved flavors.● Dondurma, TurkeyAn ice cream that doesn’t melt Yes, that’s exactly what dondurma or Turkish ice cream is. Dondurma has an elastic texture(弹性口感) and buying dondurma is like watching a performance. The men who sell it wear traditional Turkish clothes, twist and turn the ice cream until it lands into the cone to be served. Kids and adults get a kick out of the show.1. What do Raspado and Kakigori have in common A. They have an ice cream-like texture. B. They are usually sold at street carts.C. They are made of real fruits. D. They are not served in cones.2. Which version of “ice cream” is greatly fitted into the social life of local people A. Raspado. B. Gelato. C. Dondurma. D. Kakigori.3. What is special about Dondurma A. Its popularity among people of all ages. B. Its unusual flavor combinations.C. The interesting way it’s served. D. The low fat level it has.BI had always been fascinated by the use of natural treatments in healthcare. So, when I came across a local clinic that offered courses in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) several months ago, I immediately signed up for a one-year course.On the first day of class, I was looking forward to what I was going to learn. As the instructor explained the procedure, I felt a little disturbed by the thought of needles being stuck into my skin. However, I was determined to overcome my fear. Acupuncturist uses hair-thin needles to find specific areas on the body to treat pain or tension the body may be experiencing, known to help with depression, insomnia (失眠) and anxiety. The instructor told us that an acupuncturist might request patients to provide more information about their health, how to treat them, and what points are most appropriate for them. We were taught how to examine a patient’s tongue and pulse to gather evidence of any imbalances in the body. He showed us how to adjust the needle’s depth, as different organs required different depths. The needles were only a few millimetre thick and made of stainless steel, so they were solid and easy to switch out.In class, we also learned about the phenomenon of acupuncture anesthesia (麻醉) where patients could undergo surgery without conventional anesthesia using only acupuncture. As we progressed through the course, we learned about herbs and their uses. We also discussed the effects of substances such as alcohol, tobacco, and drugs on the body and how they could lead to severe anxiety and abuse.TCM dates back to ancient China, and it is a widespread practice today. It is fascinating to learn about the symbolism behind each organ and how they relate to different emotions and imbalances in the body. After a year of wrestling with the course, I have now graduated and put everything in place. Without doubt, it has been one of the most fulfilling experiences in my life.4. What made the author decide to sign up for a TCM course A. His worries about health problems. B. His interest in natural treatments.C. An accidental visit to a local clinic. D. The increasing knowledge of TCM.5. What did the instructor mainly teach in the first class A. The development of acupuncture. B. The way to perform acupuncture.C. The requirement for an acupuncture. D. The various tools used in acupuncture.6. How does the author feel about acupuncture after graduating from the course A. Easy. B. Complicated. C. Advanced. D. Worthy.7. What can be a suitable title for the text A. An encounter with TCM B. A modern change in TCMC. A course to improve my fitness D. A special acupuncture treatmentCYou’re in the shower. You grab the showerhead. What do you do You sing.Have you ever wondered about this phenomenon Some of us wouldn’t sing in public if someone paid us. Yet we’ll sing in the shower without embarrassment. Believe it or not, there’s a scientific explanation behind it.First, let’s look at why we’re relaxed enough in the shower to burst into song. Think about it: you don’t sing when you’re sad (unless you’re singing the blues, of course). For many people, shower time is the only time they’re alone all day. You’re in a warm, small, safe environment. You’re comfortable enough to be yourself! When you relax, your brain releases dopamine(多巴胺), which can give your creative juices an extra kickstart.Warm water is rushing over you, and now you’re relaxed and feeling good. It turns out that singing makes you feel even better. Singing, because of the breathing you put into it, gets more oxygen into the blood. This gives you better circulation, which in turn improves your body and mood. And because you have to breathe a little deeper to belt out a song, you get some of the same relaxation and mind-clearing benefits as meditation (冥想). Another neat thing is that when you’re singing, you really can’t think about your problems—more stress relief.But the best thing about singing in the shower The acoustics(音响效果)! You can never ask for a better sound system than a bathroom. Because bathroom tiles (墙砖) don’t absorb sound, your voice bounces back and forth around the room before fading away, which makes your voice hang in the air longer. And because the shower is a small space, it boosts your voice, making your singing sound more powerful. So you will sound better than you actually are, which is a confidence boost.We don’t sing in the shower simply because we have “Call Me Maybe” stuck in our heads. It turns out we do it for many reasons: stress relief, happiness, great acoustics, or maybe just because we like to hear our own voices. Whatever the reason, keep it up. It’s good for you. And if you’ve never tried it, pick a song, grab the showerhead and put on your own private concert.8. Why do many people feel comfortable singing in the shower A. The acoustics are perfect in public places. B. Shower time is relaxing and private.C. Singing boosts stress levels. D. Showering improves vocal abilities.9. What scientific effect contributes to the urge to sing in the shower A. Released dopamine due to relaxation. B. Increased exposure to blues music.C. Enhanced oxygen absorption from water. D. Strengthened lung capacity.10. Why does singing in the shower help in relieving stress A. The bathroom’s small size encourages relaxation.B. Breathing while singing improves circulation.C. Singing removes the need for deep breaths.D. Tile walls absorb sound and stress.11. In which part of a website can we probably read the text A. Science. B. Technology. C. Culture. D. People.D“I was not exceptional at all,” Claudia Goldin once told me of her time as an economics PhD student at the University of Chicago. But as the course progressed, she said, “I felt like lightbulbs were going on in my head.” On October 9 the brightness of those lights was confirmed, as she was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics “for having advanced our understanding of women’s labour market outcomes”.Goldin found men relatively dull, at least as a topic of study. Their labour was uniform compared to that of women, who might switch between caring for children, toiling (辛苦工作) in the family businesses or sweating somewhere else. But this complexity was harder to measure. According to America’s historical statistics, for example, their occupation was often unhelpfully listed as “wife”. So Goldin set out to measure their work properly.The standard pattern of development was once that as countries got richer, women were pulled into the labour market. But by painstakingly stitching together different data sets, Goldin established that America’s path was more complicated, and that growth in the 1800s coincided with women moving away from work other than domestic labour.Why For a start, factory jobs were harder to combine with childcare than, say, sewing at home. And richer families could afford to spare women the indignity of toil. Goldin argued that stigma (污名) reinforced this, or the idea that “only a husband who is lazy and neglectful of his family would allow his wife to do such labour.” Later the stigma faded — the office clerk job of the 20th century was easier, and consistent with the impression of a supportive spouse. With the arrival of tight labour markets in the 1950s, discriminatory policies against hiring married women were virtually abandoned.Today, women still work and earn less than men. As social norms have shifted and real barriers have fallen, Goldin says that most of the remaining gender gaps facing college-educated women are due to something else. So-called “greedy jobs” reward round-the-clock work and are conflicting with being on call for children. Perhaps men should also share the family burden and allow their partners to be more professionally involved instead.12. How does Claudia Goldin find women’s domestic labour A. Complicated to understand. B. Tricky to assess.C. Less changeable than men’s work. D. More valuable than men’s career.13. Which of the following is the case for American women in the 1800s A. They took an active part in workforce.B. They were comfortable enough not to work.C. They stood a good chance in office jobs.D. They were still stuck in household chores.14. Why does the author mention “greedy jobs” in paragraph 5 A. To explain the current gender gaps.B. To introduce the employee reward system.C. To call on men to stay at home.D. To expose the greedy nature of capitalists.15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text A. Gender Pay Gap Research Wins the Nobel Prize in EconomicsB. How Goldin Transformed Our Understanding of Women’s WorkC. Women’s Century-Long Journey Toward EqualityD. Do Greedy Jobs Cause the Gender Pay Inequality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。Walking has been considered as one of the best possible exercises. For many people, daily walking offers massive and long-term physical and mental benefits. ____16____ A Stanford University study found that participants were more creative when walking as opposed to sitting.____17____ You’ve probably heard the phrase “exercise your creativity”. Our creative mindset is triggered by physical movement, which is exactly why walking with your dog, a friend, or alone feeds creative thinking.But the scenery is almost as important as the sweat. Just by going outside, you are stepping out of your habitual surroundings and your comfort zone, which is necessary if you want to open your mind to new possibilities. You can walk through a tree-filled neighborhood. ____18____ Even when you walk down a busy street, you can’t help but get distracted by the sweet smells from a food cart or the child pointing to a building you haven’t even noticed before.Walking outside cultivates our ability to collect new ideas and take in new sights, sounds, smells, and flavors. Shinrin-yoku, a common form of relaxation in Japan, suggests that being in the forest and walking among the trees there can lower your stress levels. ____19____ Research has shown that immersion in nature around your neighborhood or the disconnection from multimedia increased performance on a creative problem-solving task.So instead of setting a fitness goal, why not set a creativity goal that starts with walking outdoors ____20____ For example, you can turn off your phone and give yourself the chance to be present in the world, to hear conversations and natural sounds, and to notice the way people move and the way the sun reflects in a lake.Walk not just for exercise. Walk for wonder.A. Unfortunately, you often fail to do it.B. Engage more closely with your surroundings.C. The movement aspect of walking is obviously key.D. Without enough energy, you cannot wonder or create.E. But to receive the benefits, you do not have to live in a forest.F. This habit, however, isn’t just a beneficial pursuit but an element of innovation.G. Alternatively, you can wander around a park and observe people relaxing or birds singing.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。An extreme sport like BMX (Bicycle Motocross) may not be the first thing that comes to mind to help overcome a mental health condition.

Dig a hole. Put in a seed. Cover it with dirt. Water it. Wait. “See, Laynie,” I explained, “a whole plant will grow from this tiny seed. All we have to do is water it.”Laynie had her own watering can so she could “help” me in the garden. One day, after everything was watered, she ran to the fence and started sprinkling water on another spot. I walked over and saw a fresh patch of dirt near the fence.“Did you plant something there ” I asked.“Yes,” she said. “I’m growing a pencil. My purple pencil got too small, so I planted it.”“What But, Laynie—”I should have explained things right then but I just muttered, “Uh…I never grew one before.”Later I got what seemed like a great idea. I dug up Laynie’s pencil and “planted” a brand-new purple pencil. Laynie was really excited when she saw it. “My pencil grew!” she shouted.A few days later, Laynie was watering on the same spot. Two days later, new crayons sticking their pointy little heads out, thanks to me. Laynie jumped up and down and yelled, “They look like flowers!” She “picked” them and ran into the house.Next, Laynie grew an adult bear doll from a tiny one, a soup spoon from a teaspoon, and a hand mirror from a piece of glass. When she claimed that she had grown these things, I just kept my mouth shut! Actually, it was fun trying to think of what should grow from Laynie’s seeds. And it was cool to see her get excited.One day I saw her patting down some dirt near the fence again, so I knew she’d just planted something. My heart dropped to my feet when she asked, “How long does it take to grow a goldfish, Brad ” I couldn’t speak.“Not long, I bet!” said Laynie. She knelt down to whisper “Grow, Molly. Grow!” before she skipped back to the house.注意：1．续写词数应为150左右；2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。I sat down with my back to the fence and thought for a long time.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Later I found Laynie sitting by the spot where Molly was buried.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________听力答案：1-5 ACACB 6-10 BCACB 11-15 BCAAB 16-20 CBACB 展开更多...... 收起↑ 资源列表 精品解析：湖北省武汉市第三中学2023-2024学年高二上学期12 月月考英语试卷（原卷版）.docx 精品解析：湖北省武汉市第三中学2023-2024学年高二上学期12 月月考英语试卷（解析版）.docx
