They help recycle the dead wood, so that more trees and flowers can grow. It’s a beautiful system.W: Yes, nature is an expert recycler—and mushrooms can be as beautiful as flowers. Those little yellow ones were unusual—and do you remember the large orange ones Best of all were the red ones.M: I could look at things like that all day. The subject really interests me. We’ll have to walk there again next Friday.W: Thursday would be better for me.M: I can’t make it then. I have booked an appointment at the dentist. What about Saturday W: It’s a date. We’ll explore the magic of mushrooms.听下面一段独白,回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频,请去附件查看】17. Where is the button on the sunglasses A. Near the ear. B. On the inside of the frames. C. Under the front of the frames.18.

Wear it around the neck.【答案】17. C 18. B 19. A 20. C【解析】【原文】Bose is an internationally recognized leader in audio equipment. Their music speakers and headphones are consistently ranked among the best in the industry. Now, Bose is using their successful brand to create hightech audio sunglasses called Bose Frames. They use Bluetooth technology so you can listen to music handsfree. There are two builtin speakers located by the ear. Switching between songs, answering calls and turning them on or off are easy. Just press the button below the front of the frames. To charge them, just attach your charger to the connection point on the inside of the frames. Although Bose Frames offer superior sound quality and eye protection, they are a little bigger than most sunglasses. They definitely aren’t heavy—but they can look a little strange. However, if you are going for a run or enjoying the outdoors, they are a perfect companion. You’ll be able to hear what’s going on around you without bothering people nearby. You’ll also have two styles to choose from: round or square. They are currently advertised at just $200, but you can get both styles for just $100 more. And if this kind of handsfree technology interests you, there is also the Bose Companion Speaker. Its U-shaped design fits comfortably around your neck. It has a battery that lasts 12 hours, and only takes 15 minutes to charge. At a price of $500, it’s a little more expensive, but you won’t find anything else like it.第二部分 阅读(共两节,满分50分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2. 5分,满分37. 5分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。AHere are books including stories related to the moon.Moon’s First Friends by Susanna Leonard HillAges 4 to 8This amazing book will introduce some interesting elements like astronauts and spaceships to your kids. This book explains how the moon always stays up in the sky, from where it could witness everything happening over the earth and the life here, but it does not have any living object on itself, which might make the moon lonely. However, the loneliness of the moon ends up one day as humans from the earth decide to send spaceships and astronauts to the moon.Whose Moon Is That by Kim KransAges 3 to 7Curiosity within kids is unsatisfiable. They are going to love this story about the ownership of the moon. Children will get to learn about different animals through the story as different animals claim that the moon belongs to them along with the stars. However, the moon belongs to none, and it is there to spread light. A very important lesson about relationships and sharing is conveyed through the story.My Little Half-Moon by Douglas Todd JennerichAges 5 to 8This book will allow your kid to use their imagination to seek the reason behind the half-moon. A little boy in the story believes that the moon is half because it lost its other half, which must be making it feel alone. Then the boy decides to stay together with the moon. This book is highly recommended for your child with the beautiful message of kindness.A Big Mooncake for. Little Star by Grace LinAges 4 to 8There could not be a more interesting method to learn about the moon’s phases. This story is about a star baking a mooncake with her mother. However, baking the mooncake is not easy for the baby star as the moon keeps changing its shape. The book would encourage kids to get engaged in activities like cooking, and they would also get to know about the different shapes of the moon.21. Who writes the book suitable for a three-year-old kid A. Susanna Leonard Hill. B. Kim Krans.C. Douglas Todd Jennerich. D. Grace Lin.22. What do Moon’s First Friends and My Little Half-Moon have in common A. They teach children to be considerate.B. They explain the importance of sharing.C. They involve human keeping the moon company.D. They encourage children to become astronauts.23. Which of the following makes it hard for the baby star to make the mooncake A. Complex process. B. Lack of nice tools.C. Diversity of materials. D. Moon’s changeable shapes.【答案】21. B 22. C 23. D【解析】【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四本关于月球的儿童读物。【21题详解】细节理解题。根据标题“Whose Moon Is That by Kim Krans”项下内容“Ages 3 to 7 (3至7岁)”可知Kim Krans写的书适合3岁孩子读;故选B项。【22题详解】细节理解题。根据标题“Moon’s First Friends by Susanna Leonard Hill”项下内容“However, the loneliness of the moon ends up one day as humans from the earth decide to send spaceships and astronauts to the moon. (然而,月球的孤独终有一天会结束,因为地球上的人类决定向月球发送宇宙飞船和宇航员。)”可知人类决定将宇宙飞船和宇航员送往月球,即人类将陪伴月球;根据标题“My Little Half-Moon by Douglas Todd Jennerich”项下内容“Then the boy decides to stay together with the moon. (于是男孩决定和月亮呆在一起。)”可知男孩决定和月亮呆在一起,即人类陪伴月球,故Moon’s First Friends和My Little Half-Moon这两本书的共同点是涉及到了人类与月球为伴;故选C项。【23题详解】细节理解题。根据标题“A Big Mooncake for. Little Star by Grace Lin”项下内容“However, baking the mooncake is not easy for the baby star as the moon keeps changing its shape (然而,对小星星来说,烤月饼并不容易,因为月亮的形状一直在变化)”可知月球的形状不断变化导致小星星做月饼很难;故选D项。BIn the sport of track and field, athletes compete not only with one another but against themselves, and with each race they try to achieve a new personal best.For one Nebraska teen running in what would likely be his final cross-country outing before graduating from high school, Brandon Schutt's personal best turned out not to be about marking the fastest time but displaying the biggest heart. A mile into the 3.1-mile race, however, Schutt realized he wasn't going to be able to keep up the necessary drive. Rather than risk injury, he slowed to a comfortable pace that would allow him to simply enjoy the moment and the day.Meanwhile, as a student in Omaha Burke High School, Blake Cerveny was running a very different kind of race. Aiming to beat his own personal record, after a fast start, he continued to push himself hard. With less than 400 meters to go, Cerveny's legs cramped(抽筋)up and failed him. Determined to finish, Cerveny rose from the ground and continued on, only to fall again after another 150 meters…and again, he got up and started running. This time he'd made it only 25 meters more before going down. But he wasn't done yet. Less than 100 meters from the finish line, he lay curled on the ground. His legs had simply given out.Before Cerveny's dad could reach his son, another runner—Brandon Schutt—was at his side to offer a helping hand. His first attempt to get Cerveny up failed, but like Cerveny, he refused to quit, too. With a second pull, Cerveny was on his feet.At a measured jog, with Cerveny holding Schutt for support and Schutt helping Cerveny maintain balance, the two completed the final 75 meters of the course together. Schutt even made sure the injured runner crossed the finish line first, securing his opponent a faster time. Although Cerveny was automatically disqualified for having received help, Schutt's time for the race would stand.24. What can we learn about Schutt at the beginning of the running A. He was confident to win the first place.B. He was nervous about the coming graduation.C. He was clear about his own strengths and weaknesses.D. He was dissatisfied with the annoying surrounding things.25. Why did Cerveny take part in the competition A. To break his own running record.B. To show his difference from others.C. To be admitted into the national team.D. To turn his father's dream into reality.26. What happened to Cerveny during the running A. He helped Schutt finish the race.B. He had the first fall at 150 meters.C. He finally finished the race faster than Schutt.D. He injured his own arms on account of the falls.27. What can be the best title for the text A. Sportsmanship Is What We Should RespectB. A Hero Runner Carries A Competitor To The Safe PlaceC. Runners Met Again After Crossing The Finish Line TogetherD. A Teen Runner Helped A Competitor Finish The Race After He Fell Down【答案】24. C 25. A 26. C 27. D【解析】【分析】本篇是记叙文。田径运动员往往把重点放在打破纪录上,但是运动员Brandon Schutt为了帮助竞争对手而放弃了自己的竞争机会,这是真正的鼓舞人心的体育精神。【24题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段“Brandon Schutt's personal best turned out not to be about marking the fastest time but displaying the biggest heart. (布兰登·舒特的个人最好成绩并不是记录最快的时间,而是表现出最大的定力和勇气。)”和“however, Schutt realized he wasn't going to be able to keep up the necessary drive. (然而,Schutt意识到他无法保持必要的动力。)”可推断,Schutt对自己的优缺点很清楚。故选C。【25题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段“Aiming to beat his own personal record, after a fast start, he continued to push himself hard. (他的目标是打破自己的个人记录,在快速出发后,他继续努力。)”可知,Cerveny参赛的目的是打破自己的纪录。故选A项。【26题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段“Schutt even made sure the injured runner crossed the finish line first, securing his opponent a faster time. (Schutt甚至确保受伤的Cerveny第一个冲过终点线,让他的对手更快地冲过终点线。)”可知,Schutt帮助Cerveny率先冲过终点线,而他自己落在了后面。故选C项。【27题详解】主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Schutt even made sure the injured runner crossed the finish line first, securing his opponent a faster time. Although Cerveny was automatically disqualified for having received help, Schutt's time for the race would stand. (Schutt甚至确保受伤的Cerveny第一个冲过终点线,让他的对手更快地冲过终点线。尽管Cerveny因为接受了帮助而自动被取消了比赛资格,但Schutt的比赛时间仍然有效。)”可知,本文讲述了运动员Brandon Schutt在比赛中帮助竞争对手Cerveny的感人故事。故选D项。CThe recent floods in Pakistan have sub-merged a third of the country and left more than 1,100 people dead. It is not the only part of the world to have suffered extreme weather this year. Early on, Australia was hit with unheard-of rain and heat. By the summer, east Africa was suffering its fourth year of drought. Meanwhile, temperature records were broken in cities across Europe, and rivers there ran drier than at any point for 500 years. A 70-day heatwave across much of China saw temperatures regularly exceeding 40℃, with the country’s two largest lakes dropping to their lowest recorded heights.Attributing (把……归因于) any single weather event to climate change is a complicated business. Part of the difficulty reflects the complex mechanisms of Earth’s climate, where continuous warming is the background against which many other patterns play out.One of the most powerful sources of natural climate variability is the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), a phenomenon in which the climate all around the tropics moves into one of two extreme states. When the trade winds blow more weakly across the Pacific than usual, the warm water remains in the eastern Pacific, causing more rainfall in that part of the world, an event known as an El Nino. When the winds blow particularly strongly, more warm water gathers in the western Pacific, and more cold water comes up from the depths off the coast of South America, known as La Nina.What is happening in Pakistan is likely to be a disastrous combination of multiple factors. A hotter planet means there is more moisture (湿气) in the air, leading to more extreme rainfall and greater risks of flooding. This means La Nina-caused rainfall can be unusually deadly. Global warming also has an indirect effect, as high temperatures experienced in the Himalayas earlier this year sped up the melting of glaciers (冰川) and overloaded rivers. It is also possible that air pollution in the area, which complicates air-circulation patterns, may have a role to play as well.A pressing concern is the impact the increased flooding and severe droughts will have on a world where resources are already sapped by a rapid running of disasters. “We’re already not coping and it’s only getting worse,” says Maarten, director of the climate centre for the International Red Cross.Equally fraught are questions of responsibility. Whether or not specific disasters were made more likely to occur by ENSO, climate change is doubtless playing a role in increasing their severity. This implicates richer countries most responsible for historic pollution, which have thus far largely been spared the worst consequences of their emissions.28. The author lists a range of extreme events at the beginning to _________.A. predict the ending B. raise the issue behindC. highlight an opinion D. illustrate an argument29. Which might not explain the heavy rainfall in Pakistan A. Loss of ice due to the greenhouse effect.B. Harmful gases let off into the atmosphere.C. Trade winds blowing more weakly across the Pacific.D. More moisture in the air caused by high temperatures.30. The underlined word “sapped” in paragraph 5 can be replaced by _________.A. conserved B. consumed C. shared D. destroyed31. Which of the following statements does the author support A. Urgent priority should be given to climatic change.B. Specific disasters are undoubtedly linked to La Nina.C. Governments have taken measures to deal with the current situation.D. Richer countries have taken the responsibility for the environment.【答案】28. B 29. C 30. B 31. A【解析】【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些极端天气的发生的原因以及对世界造成的影响,并且呼吁大家关注气候变暖问题。【28题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Attributing any single weather event to climate change is a complicated business. Part of the difficulty reflects the complex mechanisms of Earth’s climate, where continuous warming is the background against which many other patterns play out. (将任何一次天气事件归因于气候变化都是一件复杂的事情。部分困难反映了地球气候的复杂机制,持续变暖是许多其他模式发生的背景)”可推知,作者在开头列出了一系列极端事件是为了之后提出问题:这些极端天气事件是否归因于气候变化。故选B项。【29题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第四段“A hotter planet means there is more moisture in the air, leading to more extreme rainfall and greater risks of flooding.(一个更热的星球意味着空气中有更多的水分,导致更多的极端降雨和更大的洪水风险)”以及“Global warming also has an indirect effect, as high temperatures experienced in the Himalayas earlier this year sped up the melting of glaciers and overloaded rivers. It is also possible that air pollution in the area, which complicates air-circulation patterns, may have a role to play as well.(全球变暖也有间接影响,因为今年早些时候喜马拉雅山的高温加速了冰川融化和河流超载。该地区的空气污染也可能起到一定作用,使空气循环模式复杂化)”可知,A、B、D项均在文中提及,故C项不是巴基斯坦强降雨的原因。故选C项。【30题详解】词句猜测题题。根据划线词上文“A pressing concern is the impact the increased flooding and severe droughts will have on a world (一个紧迫的问题是洪水和严重干旱的增加将对世界产生的影响)”可知,像洪水、干旱这样的灾难给世界带来的应该是消极的影响,故资源应该是被一系列灾难消耗殆尽,故划线词与consumed词义相近。故选B项。【31题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第四段“We’re already not coping and it’s only getting worse(我们已经无法应对,而且情况只会越来越糟)”及最后一段“Whether or not specific disasters were made more likely to occur by ENSO, climate change is doubtless playing a role in increasing their severity.(无论ENSO是否使特定灾害更有可能发生,气候变化无疑在加剧其严重性方面发挥了作用)”可推知,应紧急优先考虑气候变化问题。故选A项。D“Beauty isn't about having a pretty face,”begins a motivational quote. “It's about having a pretty mind, a pretty heart, and a pretty soul. Oh, and pretty nails!”That may well be Angela Peters's motto. Last July, Peters, 36, rolled her wheelchair into a nail salon located at the Walmart shopping centre in Burton, Michigan, with the idea of bedazzling her fingers. But Peters, who has cerebral palsy(脑瘫), was turned away. The salon told her that they were afraid it would be too difficult to properly paint her nails given that her hands shook. What was meant to be a day of beauty bliss for Peters was now a disappointment.Watching the interaction from a few feet away was a Walmart cashier about to go on her break. Ebony Harris, 40, recognized Peters as a Walmart regular. Now what she recognized in Peters was a kindred spirit. Harris approached Peters. “Do you want me to do your nails ”she asked.A smile spread across Peters's face. “Yeah!”Harris accompanied Peters into the beauty aisle, where they shopped for nail polish. They settled on a bright blue—a statement colour that would catch every eye. They then made their way into a neighbouring Subway, found a table for two, and set up shop. Harris gently took Peters's hand into hers and carefully began painting her nails.“She moved her hands a little bit, and she kept saying she was sorry,” Harris recalls. “I told her, ‘Don't say that. You’re fine.”Watching it all with awe and admiration was Subway employee Tasia Smith. What struck her most was the ease and gentleness displayed by Harris as she painted Peters's nails, all the while chatting as if they were old friends. Smith was so taken by the scene that she wrote about it on Facebook. “They were so patient with her,”she wrote. “Thank you to the Walmart workers for making this beautiful girl's day!”Peters harbors no bitterness toward the nail salon that turned her away. “When people do us wrong we must forgive,” Peters wrote on Facebook. “I just want to educate people that people with different challenges, like being in a wheelchair, can have our own business and get our nails done like anyone else.”32. In this passage, the word "bedazzling"(Paragraph 1)is closest in meaning to “____________”A. treating B. beautifying C. winding D. crossing33. What left a deep impression on Tasia Smith when she witnessed the scene A. Harris painted Peters's nails with great ease.B. Harris happened to be an old friend of Peters's.C Harris did Peters's nails in a relaxed manner.D. Harris chatted with Peters while painting her nails.34. What does the underlined sentence “Peters harbors no bitterness toward the nail salon that turned her away”mean A. Peters felt quite annoyed after being denied the service in the nail salon.B. Peters made a complaint to the nail salon about her experience.C. Peters put no blame on the nail salon despite her bitter experience there.D. Peters decided to make a trip to a harbor to release her negative emotions.35. Which of the following best summarizes the passage A. Everyone is entitled to the pursuit of beauty regardless of their physical conditions.B. After a salon rejects a physically-challenged woman, a stranger makes a beautiful gesture.C. Walmart leaves much to be desired in terms of its service to the handicapped.D. A warm-hearted Walmart employee helped her customer to brave unfair treatment.【答案】32. B 33. C 34. C 35. B【解析】【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了彼得斯想做美甲,但是在被一家美甲沙龙因为她的残疾拒绝后,一个陌生人很热情地主动为她做了美甲。【32题详解】词义猜测题。根据第一段中“Oh, and pretty nails!" That may well be Angela Peters's motto.”(哦,漂亮的指甲!”这很可能是安吉拉 彼得斯的座右铭。)引出话题,提到安吉拉 彼得斯想让自己的指甲变的更漂亮。以及划线单词句中“rolled her wheelchair into a nail salon located at the Walmart shopping centre in Burton”(彼得斯推着轮椅走进了位于密歇根州伯顿市沃尔玛购物中心的一家美甲沙龙。)可推知,此处为彼得斯进入一家美甲沙龙是想让自己的手指变得更加漂亮。故可猜测划线单词bedazzling的意思最接近于美化。故选B项。【33题详解】细节理解题。根据“They then made their way into a neighbouring Subway, found a table for two, and set up shop. Harris gently took Peters's hand into hers and carefully began painting her nails.”(然后,他们走进附近的一家地铁,找了一张两人桌,开始工作。哈里斯轻轻地把彼得斯的手握在她的手里,小心翼翼地开始给她涂指甲。)可知,当塔西娅·史密斯目睹这一幕时,哈里斯轻松地给彼得斯做指甲给她留下了深刻的印象。故选C项。【34题详解】词句猜测题。根据最后一段中“When people do us wrong we must forgive,” Peters wrote on Facebook.”(彼得斯在脸书上写道:“当人们对我们做错了,我们必须原谅。”)由此可推知,划线的句子"Peters harbors no bitterness toward the nail salon that turned her away"的意思为“彼得斯没有责怪那家美甲店,尽管她在那里有过痛苦的经历。”故选C项。【35题详解】主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段中“Last July, Peters, 36, rolled her wheelchair into a nail salon located at the Walmart shopping centre in Burton, Michigan, with the idea of bedazzling her fingers. But Peters, who has cerebral palsy(脑瘫), was turned away. The salon told her that they were afraid it would be too difficult to properly paint her nails given that her hands shook.”(去年7月,36岁的彼得斯推着轮椅走进了位于密歇根州伯顿市沃尔玛购物中心的一家美甲沙龙,她想让自己的手指变得炫目。但是患有脑瘫的彼得斯却被拒之门外。美容院告诉她,考虑到她的手抖,他们担心给她涂指甲油太难了。)和第二段中“Ebony Harris, 40, recognized Peters as a Walmart regular. Now what she recognized in Peters was a kindred spirit. Harris approached Peters. "Do you want me to do your nails " she asked.”(40岁的乌木·哈里斯认出彼得斯是沃尔玛的常客。现在她在彼得斯身上发现了一个志同道合的人。哈里斯走近彼得斯。“你想让我给你做指甲吗?”她问。)可知,文章主要讲述了彼得斯想做美甲,但是在被一家美甲沙龙因为她的残疾拒绝后,一个陌生人很热情地主动为她做了美甲。故可以概括这篇文章的内容为“在一家沙龙拒绝了一位残疾女性之后,一个陌生人做出了一个美丽的表示和行为。”故选B项。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。The teenage years are probably the most unsettled and stressful years in a person’s life. Teens experience significant physical, emotional, social and cognitive changes. And teens of today face more challenges as they go through more uncertain times of the 21st century. ____36____As teens experience massive physical, social and emotional changes, the challenges are managing social expectations of ideal body images, developing their identity and finding their place in the world. In the past, a teen who was criticized for his or her larger figure or pimpled (有粉刺的) face, might feel embarrassed and dejected in school. ____37____ Constant comparison and endless posts of picture — perfect images and lives give teens greater pressure to follow current fashion trends.

Nobody had expected something unusual would happen later and everyone was doing their usual: a pretty girl gave her boyfriend sweet kisses one after another. Sitting next to me, a young woman with a suitcase and a baby took a scarf out of her suitcase and made her baby a nest, so that it could lie more comfortably. In fact, the train had just left Green Park Station when, instead of speeding up, it started to slow down and then came to a stand-still.Ten minutes passed, though it seemed like half a day. the train didn’t move. Had the railwaymen forgotten all about our existence Had there been a crash on the line in front How serious was the breakdown We had no means of knowing. However, to anxious people who are stuck in the Tube, I suppose it doesn’t really matter what it is that has broken down. What they care is when they can get out of the trouble.Twenty minutes passed. All hope of getting to work on time had long since gone. Had the train really broken down Several people thought so, but they were wrong. A railwayman at last came down the length of the train to tell us that the power supply had failed, and that we were not to worry as they were working to put it right.We could not leave the train, as it had stopped in the tunnel (隧道), not at a station. There was nothing else to do. The weak signal disabled cellphones. Besides, the train was getting hot and stuffy (闷). I even began to wonder if we were going to stay there for the rest of the day.注意:1. 续写词数应为150左石:2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。The hopeless waiting in the darkness drove us crazy.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________As a commuter (上班族) who traveled to work on the train every day, I thought it my duty to do something.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________【答案】The hopeless waiting in the darkness drove us crazy. We could not bear the heat inside the train any longer. Those standing by the windows attempted to open them to let in fresh air but ended up in failure. The impatient complaints were mixed with angry punches on the wall, which made the baby in the comfortable nest burst out crying.As a commuter who traveled to work on the train every day, I thought it my duty to do something. Clearing my throat, I picked up my courage and started a song for the baby as well as for everyone out there: Twinkle, Twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are…Unexpectedly, my neighboring passengers joined me immediately they heard me. Then, more and more passengers joined in the song. When we finished the song in chorus, a cheer went up. Because the light flashed and the train moved slowly off towards the next station. At the same time, I could see our faces lit up.【解析】【分析】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者一天上班途中,火车突然停了下来,车上的人们纷纷猜测发生了什么,二十分钟后,人们终于弄清楚,是火车电源失灵了,正在检修中,因为在隧道里,作者和其他乘客只能呆在又热又闷的火车里,怀疑自己是否会在那里呆一整天。【详解】1.段落续写:①由第一段首句内容“黑暗中绝望的等待把我们逼疯了。”可知,第一段可描写作者他们在闷热的火车里很难受,新鲜空气进不来,乘客开始抱怨、焦躁起来。②由第二段首句内容“作为一个每天坐火车上班的通勤者,我认为做点什么是我的责任。”可知,第二段可描写在这样的不安的情况下,作者唱起小星星,没想到越来越多的乘客加入唱歌,歌唱完,火车灯亮了,火车启动了,人们也露出喜色了。2.续写线索:等待——抱怨——唱歌——一起唱——火车启动——露出喜色3.词汇激活行为类①等待:waiting in the darkness②开始唱歌:started a song③立即加入我:joined me immediately④露出喜色:lit up情绪类①绝望的:hopeless②不耐烦的抱怨:The impatient complaints③突然大哭起来:burst out crying④一阵欢呼声:a cheer【点睛】[高分句型1].

However, the loneliness of the moon ends up one day as humans from the earth decide to send spaceships and astronauts to the moon.Whose Moon Is That by Kim KransAges 3 to 7Curiosity within kids is unsatisfiable. They are going to love this story about the ownership of the moon. Children will get to learn about different animals through the story as different animals claim that the moon belongs to them along with the stars. However, the moon belongs to none, and it is there to spread light. A very important lesson about relationships and sharing is conveyed through the story.My Little Half-Moon by Douglas Todd JennerichAges 5 to 8This book will allow your kid to use their imagination to seek the reason behind the half-moon. A little boy in the story believes that the moon is half because it lost its other half, which must be making it feel alone. Then the boy decides to stay together with the moon. This book is highly recommended for your child with the beautiful message of kindness.A Big Mooncake for. Little Star by Grace LinAges 4 to 8There could not be a more interesting method to learn about the moon’s phases. This story is about a star baking a mooncake with her mother. However, baking the mooncake is not easy for the baby star as the moon keeps changing its shape. The book would encourage kids to get engaged in activities like cooking, and they would also get to know about the different shapes of the moon.21.

A mile into the 3.1-mile race, however, Schutt realized he wasn't going to be able to keep up the necessary drive. Rather than risk injury, he slowed to a comfortable pace that would allow him to simply enjoy the moment and the day.Meanwhile, as a student in Omaha Burke High School, Blake Cerveny was running a very different kind of race. Aiming to beat his own personal record, after a fast start, he continued to push himself hard. With less than 400 meters to go, Cerveny's legs cramped(抽筋)up and failed him. Determined to finish, Cerveny rose from the ground and continued on, only to fall again after another 150 meters…and again, he got up and started running. This time he'd made it only 25 meters more before going down. But he wasn't done yet. Less than 100 meters from the finish line, he lay curled on the ground. His legs had simply given out.Before Cerveny's dad could reach his son, another runner—Brandon Schutt—was at his side to offer a helping hand. His first attempt to get Cerveny up failed, but like Cerveny, he refused to quit, too. With a second pull, Cerveny was on his feet.At a measured jog, with Cerveny holding Schutt for support and Schutt helping Cerveny maintain balance, the two completed the final 75 meters of the course together. Schutt even made sure the injured runner crossed the finish line first, securing his opponent a faster time. Although Cerveny was automatically disqualified for having received help, Schutt's time for the race would stand.24. What can we learn about Schutt at the beginning of the running A. He was confident to win the first place.B. He was nervous about the coming graduation.C. He was clear about his own strengths and weaknesses.D. He was dissatisfied with the annoying surrounding things.25. Why did Cerveny take part in the competition A. To break his own running record.B. To show his difference from others.C. To be admitted into the national team.D. To turn his father's dream into reality.26. What happened to Cerveny during the running A. He helped Schutt finish the race.B. He had the first fall at 150 meters.C. He finally finished the race faster than Schutt.D. He injured his own arms on account of the falls.27. What can be the best title for the text A. Sportsmanship Is What We Should RespectB. A Hero Runner Carries A Competitor To The Safe PlaceC. Runners Met Again After Crossing The Finish Line TogetherD. A Teen Runner Helped A Competitor Finish The Race After He Fell DownCThe recent floods in Pakistan have sub-merged a third of the country and left more than 1,100 people dead. It is not the only part of the world to have suffered extreme weather this year. Early on, Australia was hit with unheard-of rain and heat. By the summer, east Africa was suffering its fourth year of drought. Meanwhile, temperature records were broken in cities across Europe, and rivers there ran drier than at any point for 500 years. A 70-day heatwave across much of China saw temperatures regularly exceeding 40℃, with the country’s two largest lakes dropping to their lowest recorded heights.Attributing (把……归因于) any single weather event to climate change is a complicated business. Part of the difficulty reflects the complex mechanisms of Earth’s climate, where continuous warming is the background against which many other patterns play out.One of the most powerful sources of natural climate variability is the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), a phenomenon in which the climate all around the tropics moves into one of two extreme states. When the trade winds blow more weakly across the Pacific than usual, the warm water remains in the eastern Pacific, causing more rainfall in that part of the world, an event known as an El Nino. When the winds blow particularly strongly, more warm water gathers in the western Pacific, and more cold water comes up from the depths off the coast of South America, known as La Nina.What is happening in Pakistan is likely to be a disastrous combination of multiple factors. A hotter planet means there is more moisture (湿气) in the air, leading to more extreme rainfall and greater risks of flooding. This means La Nina-caused rainfall can be unusually deadly. Global warming also has an indirect effect, as high temperatures experienced in the Himalayas earlier this year sped up the melting of glaciers (冰川) and overloaded rivers. It is also possible that air pollution in the area, which complicates air-circulation patterns, may have a role to play as well.A pressing concern is the impact the increased flooding and severe droughts will have on a world where resources are already sapped by a rapid running of disasters. “We’re already not coping and it’s only getting worse,” says Maarten, director of the climate centre for the International Red Cross.Equally fraught are questions of responsibility. Whether or not specific disasters were made more likely to occur by ENSO, climate change is doubtless playing a role in increasing their severity. This implicates richer countries most responsible for historic pollution, which have thus far largely been spared the worst consequences of their emissions.28. The author lists a range of extreme events at the beginning to _________.A. predict the ending B. raise the issue behindC. highlight an opinion D. illustrate an argument29. Which might not explain the heavy rainfall in Pakistan A. Loss of ice due to the greenhouse effect.B. Harmful gases let off into the atmosphere.C. Trade winds blowing more weakly across the Pacific.D. More moisture in the air caused by high temperatures.30. The underlined word “sapped” in paragraph 5 can be replaced by _________.A conserved B. consumed C. shared D. destroyed31. Which of the following statements does the author support A. Urgent priority should be given to climatic change.B. Specific disasters are undoubtedly linked to La Nina.C. Governments have taken measures to deal with the current situation.D. Richer countries have taken the responsibility for the environment.D“Beauty isn't about having a pretty face,”begins a motivational quote. “It's about having a pretty mind, a pretty heart, and a pretty soul. Oh, and pretty nails!”That may well be Angela Peters's motto. Last July, Peters, 36, rolled her wheelchair into a nail salon located at the Walmart shopping centre in Burton, Michigan, with the idea of bedazzling her fingers. But Peters, who has cerebral palsy(脑瘫), was turned away. The salon told her that they were afraid it would be too difficult to properly paint her nails given that her hands shook. What was meant to be a day of beauty bliss for Peters was now a disappointment.Watching the interaction from a few feet away was a Walmart cashier about to go on her break. Ebony Harris, 40, recognized Peters as a Walmart regular. Now what she recognized in Peters was a kindred spirit. Harris approached Peters. “Do you want me to do your nails ”she asked.A smile spread across Peters's face. “Yeah!”Harris accompanied Peters into the beauty aisle, where they shopped for nail polish. They settled on a bright blue—a statement colour that would catch every eye. They then made their way into a neighbouring Subway, found a table for two, and set up shop. Harris gently took Peters's hand into hers and carefully began painting her nails.“She moved her hands a little bit, and she kept saying she was sorry,” Harris recalls. “I told her, ‘Don't say that. You’re fine.”Watching it all with awe and admiration was Subway employee Tasia Smith. What struck her most was the ease and gentleness displayed by Harris as she painted Peters's nails, all the while chatting as if they were old friends. Smith was so taken by the scene that she wrote about it on Facebook. “They were so patient with her,”she wrote. “Thank you to the Walmart workers for making this beautiful girl's day!”Peters harbors no bitterness toward the nail salon that turned her away. “When people do us wrong we must forgive,” Peters wrote on Facebook. “I just want to educate people that people with different challenges, like being in a wheelchair, can have our own business and get our nails done like anyone else.”32. In this passage, the word "bedazzling"(Paragraph 1)is closest in meaning to “____________”A. treating B. beautifying C. winding D. crossing33. What left a deep impression on Tasia Smith when she witnessed the scene A. Harris painted Peters's nails with great ease.B. Harris happened to be an old friend of Peters's.C. Harris did Peters's nails in a relaxed manner.D. Harris chatted with Peters while painting her nails.34. What does the underlined sentence “Peters harbors no bitterness toward the nail salon that turned her away”mean A. Peters felt quite annoyed after being denied the service in the nail salon.B. Peters made a complaint to the nail salon about her experience.C. Peters put no blame on the nail salon despite her bitter experience there.D. Peters decided to make a trip to a harbor to release her negative emotions.35. Which of the following best summarizes the passage A. Everyone is entitled to the pursuit of beauty regardless of their physical conditions.B. After a salon rejects a physically-challenged woman, a stranger makes a beautiful gesture.C. Walmart leaves much to be desired in terms of its service to the handicapped.D A warm-hearted Walmart employee helped her customer to brave unfair treatment.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。The teenage years are probably the most unsettled and stressful years in a person’s life.

Nobody had expected something unusual would happen later and everyone was doing their usual: a pretty girl gave her boyfriend sweet kisses one after another. Sitting next to me, a young woman with a suitcase and a baby took a scarf out of her suitcase and made her baby a nest, so that it could lie more comfortably. In fact, the train had just left Green Park Station when, instead of speeding up, it started to slow down and then came to a stand-still.Ten minutes passed, though it seemed like half a day. the train didn’t move. Had the railwaymen forgotten all about our existence Had there been a crash on the line in front How serious was the breakdown We had no means of knowing. However, to anxious people who are stuck in the Tube, I suppose it doesn’t really matter what it is that has broken down. What they care is when they can get out of the trouble.Twenty minutes passed. All hope of getting to work on time had long since gone. Had the train really broken down Several people thought so, but they were wrong. A railwayman at last came down the length of the train to tell us that the power supply had failed, and that we were not to worry as they were working to put it right.We could not leave the train, as it had stopped in the tunnel (隧道), not at a station. There was nothing else to do. The weak signal disabled cellphones. Besides, the train was getting hot and stuffy (闷). I even began to wonder if we were going to stay there for the rest of the day.注意:1. 续写词数应为150左石:2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。The hopeless waiting in the darkness drove us crazy.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________As a commuter (上班族) who traveled to work on the train every day, I thought it my duty to do something.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 展开更多...... 收起↑ 资源列表 精品解析:江苏省启东市东南中学2023-2024学年高三上学期第二次质量检测英语试卷(原卷版).docx 精品解析:江苏省启东市东南中学2023-2024学年高三上学期第二次质量检测英语试卷(解析版).docx 东南中学 00_00_26-00_20_23.mp3
