Here are three hikes to discover.Gem Lakes, Narrow Hills Provincial ParkThe Gem Lakes are located in the Narrow Hills Provincial Park of Saskatchewan. Their waters are fed by springs from the surrounding hills, reflecting the sun and creating gem-like colors. There is a 5-kilometre hiking trail that loops around the tiny lakes. You can bring a tent and spend the night in the campground. The lakes are stocked with fish and many people bring their kayaks to spend the day floating around in the tranquility of the water trying to catch a delicious meal.Nut Point Trail, Lac La Ronge Provincial ParkLocated on a peninsula that extends to the massive Lac La Ronge lake is the Nut Point trail, a 30-kilometre backcountry hike along the spine of billion year old rock. The hiking trail ends with a beautiful spot overlooking the historic Lac La Ronge Lake. Set up your tent on the rocks in order to enjoy the sounds of the water. If you’re lucky, the Northern Lights will explode overhead in night sky. Make sure you bring your bathing suit for a relaxing dip in the cool waters!Sand Dunes (沙丘) Nature Trail, Douglas Provincial ParkHave you ever wanted to walk on a rolling sand dune There are two places for you. The first are the famous Athabasca Sand Dunes, the world’s most northerly active sand dunes. The second are the Great Sandhills, a 1, 900-square-kilometre protected area. The hike in Douglas Provincial Park sand dunes is a time machine of geological history. As you hike through the fine sand and learn more about what was only here a short 11, 000 years ago, you will appreciate the geological forces that created the province as it stands today.1. What do trails around Gem Lakes and Nut Point Trail have in common A. They are easy and pleasant hike trails. B. Visitors can set up tent and catch fish.C. Visitors can enjoy the Northern Lights. D. They provide visitors with lake scenery.2. What is special about the Sand Dunes Nature Trail A. It is in the largest protected area. B. It is in inactive but dangerous sand dune.C. It is in the world’s northernmost sand dune. D. It immerses hikers in long geological history.3. Where is the text probably taken from A. Novel. B. Textbook. C. Travel website. D.

The old woman just brought home a Latin Grammy for best new artist, becoming the musical award show’s eldest winner ever.The Cuban American musician’s crowning moment came after decades of writing songs but performing them only for friends and family. Until she was 90 years old, she went to the Avalon and gave her first concert.“I loved music very much,” Alvarez says. “When I was a child, I had two aunts that played the piano and taught me how to sing. Whenever there was a family gathering, I was the artist; they made dresses for me and I always liked to perform.” Music was always there for her, as it helped her cope with the ups and downs of life: from love and motherhood, to her relentless efforts to reunite her family and the eventual loss of her beloved husband and, years later, of her only daughter, both to cancer.Listening to many of these songs while growing up was especially influential on her grandson Carlos José Alvarez, a professional composer and producer based in Los Angeles who owes his love of music largely to his Nana, as her grandchildren called her. As Angela was getting on in years without ever recording any of her work, he had an inspiration that made him fly quickly to Louisiana to document each and every one of her songs, for “the legacy of our family”.“I hope this entire project inspires young people to sit down and talk to their elders. Ask them questions. Ask them about the dreams they had once upon a time. They will be surprised at what they will find,” Carlos concludes. “If we don’t ask them, they won’t tell us, and their wisdom and dreams will leave with them.”“There are people who give up, but I did not give up, and I always fought,” Angela said during her wining speech. “I promise you that it’s never too late.”4. What can we learn about Angela’s experiences A. Angela’s songs are all about family love.B. Music provides strong support for her life.C. Angela becomes the most successful musician.D. Angela is always dreaming of giving a concert.5. How did Angela influence her grandson Carlos A. She taught Carlos how to compose music.B. She helped Carlos record the songs in studio.C Her songs fueled Carlos’ passion for music.D. Her success inspired Carlos to help the elders.6. Which of the following words can best describe Angela A. Inspiring and determined. B. Generous and adorable.C. Efficient and ambitious. D. Adventurous and creative.7. What is the author’s purpose in writing this article A. To show the ups and downs of Angel’s life.B. To encourage the elder to pursue their dreams.C. To provide a history of the Latin Grammy Awards.D. To highlight Angela’s achievements as an elder musician.【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. D【解析】【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲的是老妇人Angela Alvarez刚刚捧回了拉丁格莱美最佳新人奖，成为该音乐颁奖典礼有史以来年龄最大的获奖者。【4题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段“Music was always there for her, as it helped her cope with the ups and downs of life: from love and motherhood, to her relentless efforts to reunite her family and the eventual loss of her beloved husband and, years later, of her only daughter, both to cancer.(音乐一直陪伴着她，帮助她度过人生的起起伏伏：从爱和为人母，到她为家庭团聚所做的不懈努力，以及最终失去挚爱的丈夫和多年后因癌症去世的唯一女儿。)”可知，我们能从安吉拉的经历中了解到音乐为她的生活提供了强有力的支持。故选B。【5题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段“Listening to many of these songs while growing up was especially influential on her grandson Carlos José Alvarez, a professional composer and producer based in Los Angeles who owes his love of music largely to his Nana, as her grandchildren called her.(在成长过程中听了许多这些歌曲，对她的孙子Carlos jossore Alvarez的影响尤其大。Alvarez是洛杉矶的一名专业作曲家和制作人，他对音乐的热爱很大程度上归功于他的祖母，她的孙子们这样称呼她。)”可知，Angela的歌曲点燃了卡洛斯对音乐的热情。故选C。【6题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段“Listening to many of these songs while growing up was especially influential on her grandson Carlos José Alvarez, a professional composer and producer based in Los Angeles who owes his love of music largely to his Nana, as her grandchildren called her.(在成长过程中听了许多这些歌曲，对她的孙子Carlos jossore Alvarez的影响尤其大。Alvarez是洛杉矶的一名专业作曲家和制作人，他对音乐的热爱很大程度上归功于他的祖母，她的孙子们这样称呼她。)”可知，Angela是能启发人的；根据最后一段“There are people who give up, but I did not give up, and I always fought(有人放弃了，但我没有放弃，我一直在奋斗。)”可知，Angela是有决心的，因此用inspiring和determined来描述她，故选A。【7题详解】推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的“The old woman just brought home a Latin Grammy for best new artist, becoming the musical award show’s eldest winner ever.(这位老妇人刚刚捧回了拉丁格莱美最佳新人奖，成为该音乐颁奖典礼有史以来年龄最大的获奖者。)”可知，本文主要讲的是老妇人Angela Alvarez刚刚捧回了拉丁格莱美最佳新人奖，成为该音乐颁奖典礼有史以来年龄最大的获奖者，因此本文目的是为了突出安吉拉作为年长音乐家的成就，故选D。C“I never know what to say around other people. Whenever I am in a group of people, I feel like everyone knows what to say and I have no idea. When I do try to join in or answer a question, I get anxious. My heart starts thumping. This happens at parties or meetings with parent groups, but I feel judged—as if I were being interviewed for a job. I don’t enjoy these experiences, so I routinely avoid them. People think I am a loner. Maybe I am ”Individuals experiencing this type of social discomfort are often polite and considerate. They do not interrupt others and they say please and thank you when it is appropriate to do so. They often avoid eye contact, because it makes them feel judged. They feel like others can see how uncomfortable they are. Individuals experiencing these symptoms are often very intelligent, but their anxiety prevents them from being able to demonstrate this in front of others.Fitting into most groups of people requires conformity (从众). You need to be interested in the topics that others in the group are interested in and think and talk about them the way they do. Becoming an essential part of these groups requires that you sacrifice some of your individuality in order to adapt your perspectives, values, and styles to fit in.Some individuals are chameleon-like in that they naturally pick up the patterns of relating to different groups and change themselves accordingly. They accommodate themselves to the group. They leave their individuality behind. For some people, this is automatic and they don’t even register that they are changing themselves to fit into groups. However, if you are one of those people who feels disconnected in most social group settings, it may be because your personality refuses conformity. You have difficulty liking what other people like and you stop changing the way you think in order to feel part of a group. Perhaps it’s better for you to stay true to yourself. Maybe you are better off 8. What is the function of paragraph 1 A. To introduce hard experience of social anxiety.B. To explain why some people avoid eye contact.C. To compare different types of social groups.D. To recommend ways to go for job interviews.9. What would people do when experiencing social discomfort A. They are mindful of proper social manners.B. They are eager to stop others judging them.C. They tend to observe what others are doing.D. They try to demonstrate their intelligence.10. How can we possibly fit into most groups A. By improving the communication skills.B. By sharing interest and adapting to others.C. By showing respect and kindness to others.D. By practicing active listening and speaking11. What would the author agree with according to the last paragraph A. We should abandon our personality to fit in.B. Not changing ourselves is also a good choice.C. Refusing help will turn you away from friends.D. Following suit is a requirement in the society.【答案】8. A 9. A 10. B 11. B【解析】【导语】本文是一篇议论文。作者认为，拒绝改变自己去融入团队，也是一种展示自己是团队一员的方式，或许这对于不太擅于社交的人来说，是一种更好的方式。【8题详解】推理判断题。文章第一段讲到“When I do try to join in or answer a question, I get anxious. My heart starts thumping. This happens at parties or meetings with parent groups, but I feel judged-as if I were being interviewed for a job. I don’t enjoy these experiences, so I routinely avoid them. (当我试图加入或回答一个问题时，我会感到焦虑。我的心开始砰砰直跳。这种情况发生在聚会或与家长团体的会议上，但我感觉受到了评判—就好像我在面试工作一样。我不喜欢这些经历，所以我习惯性地避免它们。人们认为我不合群)”可知，第一段的作用是介绍社交焦虑的痛苦经历。故选A。【9题详解】细节理解题。文章第二段讲到“Individuals experiencing this type of social discomfort are often polite and considerate. They do not interrupt others and they say please and thank you when it is appropriate to do so. (经历这种社交不适的人通常是有礼貌和体贴的。他们不会打断别人，在适当的时候会说请和谢谢)”可知，当人们经历社交不适时会注意适当的社交礼仪。故选A。【10题详解】细节理解题。文章第三段讲到“Fitting into most groups of people requires conformity(从众). You need to be interested in the topics that others in the group are interested in and think and talk about them the way they do. (融入大多数人群需要一致性。你需要对小组中其他人感兴趣的话题感兴趣，并以他们的方式思考和谈论这些话题)”可知，我们可以通过分享兴趣和适应他人来融入大多数群体。故选B。【11题详解】推理判断题。文章最后一段讲到“You have difficulty liking what other people like and you stop changing the way you think in order to feel part of a group. Perhaps it’s better for you to stay true to yourself. Maybe you are better off (你很难喜欢上其他人喜欢的东西，你不再改变自己的思维方式来感觉自己是一个群体的一部分。也许对你来说，忠于自己更好。也许你过得更好？)”可知，根据最后一段，作者会同意不改变自己也是一个不错的选择。故选B。DDespite heavy illegal hunting of rhinos, South Africa’s Kruger National Park is still a natural paradise. One of the largest remaining lion populations in Africa lives there. Yet there is something the local animals fear even more than the big cats.Liana Zanette of Western University in Ontario and her colleagues were able to show that animals react most strongly to human voices and flee in response. For their experiment, the team placed camera traps and loudspeakers at water holes in the national park, which allowed the researchers to influence and record the behavior of a total of 19 mammal species. They played the animals sounds of normal conversations of humans in four South African languages, dogs barking, gunshots and lion sounds.The study group found that animals were twice as likely to flee and yacated an area faster when they heard human voices than when they heard lions or gunshots. This was true for 95 percent of the animal species observed, including giraffes, leopards, hyenas, zebras, kudu, warthogs, impalas and rhinos. Only elephants were significantly more likely to run from lions than from humans.The same was true of the time that animals spent at water holes: they usually stayed longer when lion sounds were played to them than when human voices were heard. Wild dogs, leopards and buffalo were the only animals who stayed at water holes longer when they heard humans, and the difference was not statistically significant for these species. “There is a notion that animals get used to humans when they are not being hunted. But we’ve shown that’s not the case,” Clinchy says. “Fear of humans is deeply rooted and common, so we need to seriously address it for conservation reasons.”The team is now investigating whether its customized sound systems can be used to help endangered species, such as the southern white rhino, away from known poaching(偷猎) areas in South Africa. Initial tests of keeping rhinos away from such areas through the use of human voices have been successful.12. What can we know about South Africa’s Kruger National Park A. Rhinos are effectively protected in the park.B. Lions are the biggest threat for local animals.C. Human voices cause fear in the local wildlife.D. It is a natural paradise without illegal hunting.13. What does the underlined word “vacated” in paragraph 3 probably mean A. Occupied. B. Left. C. Encountered. D. Filled.14. What did researchers find about animals’ reaction to different sounds A. Elephants are more afraid of humans than lions.B. Giraffes react most strongly to lions or gunshots.C. Rhinos were more likely to run from lions than gunshotsD Wild dogs stayed at water holes longer when hearing humans15. What is the best title for the text A. Human Voices: a surprising deep-rooted fear in wildlifeB. Lions: the primary source of threat for the local animalsC. Lion Sounds: the potential use for wildlife protectionD. Humans: the impact on decreasing rhino population【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A【解析】【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍一项研究，说明人类的声音对野生动物来说是根深蒂固的恐惧。【12题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段中“Liana Zanette of Western University in Ontario and her colleagues were able to show that animals react most strongly to human voices and flee in response. (安大略省西部大学的Liana Zanette和她的同事能够证明动物对人类的声音反应最强烈，并作为回应逃跑。)”可知，研究表明，人类的声音引起当地野生动物的恐惧。故选C项。【13题详解】词句猜测题。根据划线词前文“The study group found that animals were twice as likely to flee (研究小组发现，动物逃跑的可能性是两倍)”及后文“when they heard human voices than when they heard lions or gunshots (当它们听到人声时比当它们听到狮子或枪声时)”可知，动物听到人类的声音时会迅速逃走，从而推知划线词句“and yacated an area (并且yacated一个区域)”其中划线词汇意思是“离开，逃离”。故选B项。【14题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段中“Wild dogs, leopards and buffalo were the only animals who stayed at water holes longer when they heard humans, and the difference was not statistically significant for these species. (野狗、豹子和水牛是仅有的在听到人类声音时在水坑里呆得更久的动物，这些物种之间的差异在统计上并不显著。)”可知，关于动物对不同声音的反应，研究人员发现野狗在听到人类声音时在水坑里呆的时间更长。故选D项。【15题详解】主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第二段中“Liana Zanette of Western University in Ontario and her colleagues were able to show that animals react most strongly to human voices and flee in response. (安大略省西部大学的Liana Zanette和她的同事能够证明动物对人类的声音反应最强烈，并作为回应逃跑。)”以及倒数第二段中“Fear of humans is deeply rooted and common, so we need to seriously address it for conservation reasons. (对人类的恐惧根深蒂固，很普遍，所以出于保护的原因，我们需要认真解决这个问题。)”可知，本文介绍一项研究，说明人类的声音对野生动物来说是根深蒂固的恐惧。A“人类的声音：在野生动物中是令人惊讶的根深蒂固的恐惧”项符合主题，故选A项。第二节(共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。People usually consider voluntary work as a completely selfless act, but voluntary work has its place in everyone’s lives, and my personal experiences have confirmed my belief in this.___16___ I once cleaned up flats where the poor lived in. The space was overcrowded and the items were covered in dust. I couldn’t contain my judgement and was critical about them.

When I volunteered to teach life skills to students with cerebral palsy (脑瘫), I found that they were very grateful to the teachers and assistants by saying “thank you” and smiling. ___18___ Consequently, this has made me more mindful of my priorities in life, and more deliberate in not letting insignificant things bother me. Doing voluntary work has taught me to be happier and more grateful.Doing voluntary work has given my life more meaning. ___19___ However, excessively pursuing them can often lead to increased discontent and can’t give meaning to one’s life. After doing voluntary work and learning the stories of others, I have a stronger sense of purpose in my life. Instead of just being absorbed in my own wants and needs, I make up my mind to try my best to help those in need. ___20___A. I felt that they had taught me a lesson on gratitude.B. It is easy to be obsessed with material wants in society.C. I am now able to go through life with more love and compassion.D. Volunteer work has provided me with opportunities to make friends.E.

This allowed me to know more about the less fortunate who don’t share my lifestyles.(然而，在与居民交谈并听到他们的不幸之后，我后悔自己的草率判断。这让我更多地了解了那些和我生活方式不同的不幸的人。)”可知，本段主要讲的是志愿工作让作者了解到了那些不幸的人的生活，G选项“Voluntary work has helped me better understand the lives of the less fortunate.(志愿工作帮助我更好地了解那些不幸的人的生活。)”概括了本段主要内容，可作为主题句，故选G。【17题详解】空前“This allowed me to know more about the less fortunate who don’t share my lifestyles.(这让我更多地了解了那些和我生活方式不同的不幸的人。)”说明了这让作者了解到了什么，空格处也应该继续讲这对于作者影响，F选项“Moreover, I realized they are often unreasonably judged by other people.(此外，我意识到他们经常被别人不合理地评判。)”中的they指代前面的那些不幸的人，说明志愿工作让作者也意识到那些人经常被别人不合理地评判，承接上文，符合语境，故选F。【18题详解】空前“Volunteer work has reminded me to cherish and appreciate little things in life. When l volunteered to teach life skills to students with cerebral palsy (脑瘫), I found that they were very grateful to the teachers and assistants by saying “thank you” and smiling.(志愿者工作提醒我要珍惜和感激生活中的小事情。当我自愿为脑瘫学生教授生活技能时，我发现他们对老师和助手都非常感激，总是微笑着说“谢谢”。)”说明了志愿工作提醒作者要感激，空格处也应该是和感激相关的内容，A选项“I felt that they had taught me a lesson on gratitude.(我觉得他们给我上了一堂感恩的课。)”说明了作者学习到了感恩，承接上文，符合语境，故选A。19题详解】空后“However, excessively pursuing them can often lead to increased discontent and can’t give meaning to one’s life.(然而，过度追求这些目标往往会导致不满情绪的增加，也无法赋予一个人的生活意义。)”说明了过度追求一些目标所带来的坏处，空格处应该提到是对什么的追求，B选项“It is easy to be obsessed with material wants in society.(在社会上很容易被物质欲望所困扰。)”说明了对物质的追求，引起下文，符合语境，故选B。【20题详解】空前“After doing voluntary work and learning the stories of others, I have a stronger sense of purpose in my life.

For tonight’s homework, I want you to create a picture of one thing you’re thankful for, and we’ll hang it here.”We were supposed to spend the last part of class figuring out an idea for our “thankful” picture. But the more I tried to think of the one perfect thing, the more panicked and puzzled became! Finally, the school bell rang, and it was time to pack up and go. “I’m going to make a picture about fishing with my grandpa,” my friend Imani said as we walked home. I told her that this project was making me nervous and that I was worried if I chose one person, everyone else felt left out.Imani suggested that I should pick a random awesome thing instead. I was surprised and confused because I was thankful for a billion random things. How was I supposed to choose one Imani smiled. “It’s the ‘just close your eyes’ trick.” I could write down a bunch of choices on separate pieces of paper, spread them out, close my eyes and pick one. I was still worried that I would pick the imperfect one.“That’s the whole point,” said Imani. “There’s no perfection. Here, I’ll show you!” I followed Imani across the street to a giant tree with beautiful and attractive fallen leaves. So many leaves had fallen onto the grass that it looked like a rainbow-colored carpet. The orange one with green-and-yellow edges was incredible. Those fiery red ones were also amazing. She urged me to pick the very best leaf.“There are too many,” I said. “It’d be impossible to find the very best.”“Exactly!” she said. “It’s just like the thankful assignment. There are way too many choices. So just close your eyes and pick one.” I closed my eyes, picked up a leaf, opened my eyes -and we both started laughing our heads off.注意：1. 续写词数为150词左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。Paragraph 1:Looking at the rotten and sad little leaf in my hand, I was lost in thought.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Paragraph 2:The next day in class, when appreciating our pictures on the wall, everybody had questions about mine.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________【答案】Looking at the rotten and sad little leaf in my hand, I was lost in thought. I guessed even in a pile of beautiful, perfect leaves, there’s bound to be one like this. Maybe I was the most talented leaf-picker ever. Seeing my inspired look, Imani said happily, “See This is exactly the point! In a sea of good things, there’s still room for imperfection. Maybe that’s what you should be thankful for.” Imani’s words hit me. I carefully put the funny little leaf in my notebook and said, “This is it. You’ll see.” I created a beautiful picture with the slightly wilted, misshapen leaf by putting it against a bright background, highlighting its distinctive features and making striking contrast. With great care, I pinned up my creation on the art-gallery wall.The next day in class, when appreciating our pictures on the wall, everybody had questions about mine. They were puzzled why I had chosen such a dead leaf as the object of my gratitude. When my turn came to tell about my picture, I took a deep breath and said, “I started out thinking of the perfect answer to the thankful question and it was hard to choose. Then a good friend helped me see the point. Thanksgiving isn’t about perfection. So I’m not only thankful for the perfect stuff, but the imperfect ones!” My words sparked an engaging conversation in class about the diverse things they want to express gratitude. In the end, my seemingly insignificant leaf became a symbol of the power of unconventional gratitude and the beauty of embracing imperfections.【解析】【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者的老师给作者布置了画一件感激的事情的作业，作者不知道该怎么选择，因为作者想要感激的事情太多了，作者的朋友Imani把作者带到一棵大树前，催促作者挑选最好的叶子，作者觉得太多了，不能选择，Imani说这就像感恩作业一样，太多了，所以闭上眼睛，选一个就行了，所以作者闭上眼睛，选了一片。【详解】1.段落续写：①由第一段首句内容“看着手中那片腐烂、悲伤的小叶子，我陷入了沉思。”可知，第一段可描写作者的想法和作者创作感恩作业。②由第二段首句内容“第二天在课堂上，当我们欣赏墙上的照片时，每个人都对我的照片提出了问题。”可知，第二段可描写同学们的困惑，作者解释以及作者的解释所引起的反应。2.续写线索：猜想——Imani启发作者——创作作业——同学困惑——作者解释——引起讨论——作者的树叶的影响3.词汇激活行为类①猜想：guess/suppose②创作：create/make③讲述：tell about/talk about情绪类①高兴地：happily/merrily②感激：thankful/grateful【点睛】[高分句型1] Maybe that’s what you should be thankful for.

Here are three hikes to discover.Gem Lakes, Narrow Hills Provincial ParkThe Gem Lakes are located in the Narrow Hills Provincial Park of Saskatchewan. Their waters are fed by springs from the surrounding hills, reflecting the sun and creating gem-like colors. There is a 5-kilometre hiking trail that loops around the tiny lakes.

The old woman just brought home a Latin Grammy for best new artist, becoming the musical award show’s eldest winner ever.The Cuban American musician’s crowning moment came after decades of writing songs but performing them only for friends and family. Until she was 90 years old, she went to the Avalon and gave her first concert.“I loved music very much,” Alvarez says. “When I was a child, I had two aunts that played the piano and taught me how to sing. Whenever there was a family gathering, I was the artist; they made dresses for me and I always liked to perform.” Music was always there for her, as it helped her cope with the ups and downs of life: from love and motherhood, to her relentless efforts to reunite her family and the eventual loss of her beloved husband and, years later, of her only daughter, both to cancer.Listening to many of these songs while growing up was especially influential on her grandson Carlos José Alvarez, a professional composer and producer based in Los Angeles who owes his love of music largely to his Nana, as her grandchildren called her. As Angela was getting on in years without ever recording any of her work, he had an inspiration that made him fly quickly to Louisiana to document each and every one of her songs, for “the legacy of our family”.“I hope this entire project inspires young people to sit down and talk to their elders. Ask them questions. Ask them about the dreams they had once upon a time. They will be surprised at what they will find,” Carlos concludes. “If we don’t ask them, they won’t tell us, and their wisdom and dreams will leave with them.”“There are people who give up, but I did not give up, and I always fought,” Angela said during her wining speech. “I promise you that it’s never too late.”4. What can we learn about Angela’s experiences A. Angela’s songs are all about family love.B. Music provides strong support for her life.C. Angela becomes the most successful musician.D. Angela is always dreaming of giving a concert.5. How did Angela influence her grandson Carlos A. She taught Carlos how to compose music.B. She helped Carlos record the songs in studio.C. Her songs fueled Carlos’ passion for music.D. Her success inspired Carlos to help the elders.6. Which of the following words can best describe Angela A. Inspiring and determined. B. Generous and adorable.C. Efficient and ambitious. D. Adventurous and creative.7. What is the author’s purpose in writing this article A. To show the ups and downs of Angel’s life.B. To encourage the elder to pursue their dreams.C. To provide a history of the Latin Grammy Awards.D. To highlight Angela’s achievements as an elder musician.C“I never know what to say around other people. Whenever I am in a group of people, I feel like everyone knows what to say and I have no idea. When I do try to join in or answer a question, I get anxious. My heart starts thumping. This happens at parties or meetings with parent groups, but I feel judged—as if I were being interviewed for a job. I don’t enjoy these experiences, so I routinely avoid them. People think I am a loner. Maybe I am ”Individuals experiencing this type of social discomfort are often polite and considerate. They do not interrupt others and they say please and thank you when it is appropriate to do so. They often avoid eye contact, because it makes them feel judged. They feel like others can see how uncomfortable they are. Individuals experiencing these symptoms are often very intelligent, but their anxiety prevents them from being able to demonstrate this in front of others.Fitting into most groups of people requires conformity (从众). You need to be interested in the topics that others in the group are interested in and think and talk about them the way they do. Becoming an essential part of these groups requires that you sacrifice some of your individuality in order to adapt your perspectives, values, and styles to fit in.Some individuals are chameleon-like in that they naturally pick up the patterns of relating to different groups and change themselves accordingly. They accommodate themselves to the group. They leave their individuality behind. For some people, this is automatic and they don’t even register that they are changing themselves to fit into groups. However, if you are one of those people who feels disconnected in most social group settings, it may be because your personality refuses conformity. You have difficulty liking what other people like and you stop changing the way you think in order to feel part of a group. Perhaps it’s better for you to stay true to yourself. Maybe you are better off 8. What is the function of paragraph 1 A. To introduce hard experience of social anxiety.B. To explain why some people avoid eye contact.C. To compare different types of social groups.D. To recommend ways to go for job interviews.9. What would people do when experiencing social discomfort A. They are mindful of proper social manners.B. They are eager to stop others judging them.C. They tend to observe what others are doing.D. They try to demonstrate their intelligence.10. How can we possibly fit into most groups A. By improving the communication skills.B By sharing interest and adapting to others.C. By showing respect and kindness to others.D. By practicing active listening and speaking11. What would the author agree with according to the last paragraph A. We should abandon our personality to fit in.B. Not changing ourselves is also a good choice.C. Refusing help will turn you away from friends.D. Following suit is a requirement in the society.DDespite heavy illegal hunting of rhinos, South Africa’s Kruger National Park is still a natural paradise. One of the largest remaining lion populations in Africa lives there. Yet there is something the local animals fear even more than the big cats.Liana Zanette of Western University in Ontario and her colleagues were able to show that animals react most strongly to human voices and flee in response. For their experiment, the team placed camera traps and loudspeakers at water holes in the national park, which allowed the researchers to influence and record the behavior of a total of 19 mammal species. They played the animals sounds of normal conversations of humans in four South African languages, dogs barking, gunshots and lion sounds.The study group found that animals were twice as likely to flee and yacated an area faster when they heard human voices than when they heard lions or gunshots. This was true for 95 percent of the animal species observed, including giraffes, leopards, hyenas, zebras, kudu, warthogs, impalas and rhinos. Only elephants were significantly more likely to run from lions than from humans.The same was true of the time that animals spent at water holes: they usually stayed longer when lion sounds were played to them than when human voices were heard. Wild dogs, leopards and buffalo were the only animals who stayed at water holes longer when they heard humans, and the difference was not statistically significant for these species. “There is a notion that animals get used to humans when they are not being hunted. But we’ve shown that’s not the case,” Clinchy says. “Fear of humans is deeply rooted and common, so we need to seriously address it for conservation reasons.”The team is now investigating whether its customized sound systems can be used to help endangered species, such as the southern white rhino, away from known poaching(偷猎) areas in South Africa. Initial tests of keeping rhinos away from such areas through the use of human voices have been successful.12. What can we know about South Africa’s Kruger National Park A. Rhinos are effectively protected in the park.B. Lions are the biggest threat for local animals.C. Human voices cause fear in the local wildlife.D It is a natural paradise without illegal hunting.13. What does the underlined word “vacated” in paragraph 3 probably mean A. Occupied. B. Left. C. Encountered. D. Filled.14 What did researchers find about animals’ reaction to different sounds A.

For tonight’s homework, I want you to create a picture of one thing you’re thankful for, and we’ll hang it here.”We were supposed to spend the last part of class figuring out an idea for our “thankful” picture. But the more I tried to think of the one perfect thing, the more panicked and puzzled became! Finally, the school bell rang, and it was time to pack up and go. “I’m going to make a picture about fishing with my grandpa,” my friend Imani said as we walked home. I told her that this project was making me nervous and that I was worried if I chose one person, everyone else felt left out.Imani suggested that I should pick a random awesome thing instead. I was surprised and confused because I was thankful for a billion random things. How was I supposed to choose one Imani smiled. “It’s the ‘just close your eyes’ trick.” I could write down a bunch of choices on separate pieces of paper, spread them out, close my eyes and pick one. I was still worried that I would pick the imperfect one.“That’s the whole point,” said Imani. “There’s no perfection. Here, I’ll show you!” I followed Imani across the street to a giant tree with beautiful and attractive fallen leaves. So many leaves had fallen onto the grass that it looked like a rainbow-colored carpet. The orange one with green-and-yellow edges was incredible. Those fiery red ones were also amazing. She urged me to pick the very best leaf.“There are too many,” I said. “It’d be impossible to find the very best.”“Exactly!” she said. “It’s just like the thankful assignment. There are way too many choices. So just close your eyes and pick one.” I closed my eyes, picked up a leaf, opened my eyes -and we both started laughing our heads off.注意：1. 续写词数为150词左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。Paragraph 1:Looking at the rotten and sad little leaf in my hand, I was lost in thought.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Paragraph 2:The next day in class, when appreciating our pictures on the wall, everybody had questions about mine.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 展开更多...... 收起↑ 资源列表 精品解析：广西南宁市2023-2024学年高二上学期期末联考英语试卷（原卷版）.docx 精品解析：广西南宁市2023-2024学年高二上学期期末联考英语试卷（解析版）.docx
