A road trip is not just about taking in the scenery through the car windscreen. Instead, the changes
in location let you increase the scope of your holiday. Here are four recommended routes.
CCR 200
It is a new coastal road trip showing off the hidden side of the Lake District. The route takes in
various nature reserves as well as other attractions like beaches and castles. The road trip is aimed at
campers of all kinds and has been divided into five sections that can each be done in a day.
The Explorer’s Road
The Road extends almost the entire length of eastern England, featuring some of the country’s
hidden treasures and finest attractions. Along the way you can explore breathtaking beaches, spectacular
countryside and historic landmarks, with plenty of campsites lining the route.
South West Coastal 300
高一年级英语试卷 第 2 页 共 9 页
{#{QQABAYAQogAgAJBAABgCQQFwCEGQkBAACAoGBAAIIAIBiBFABAA=}#}
The South West Coastal 300 is around the southwest of Scotland. It's a fantastic way to discover
one of the UK's hidden treasures. Inland, there are demanding hills that provide a steep one to walkers
and climbers, not to mention hundreds of square miles of forestry and rolling countryside where cycling
enthusiasts can clock up the miles.
Atlantic Highway
The route roughly follows the line of the Atlantic coast. There are picturesque village views and
you certainly won't be short of things to see or do. And there is no shortage of stopovers. The only
downside is that the roads round here are extremely busy occasionally, so if you want a more stress-free
trip, try heading down out of summer.
21. Which road trip best suits those who enjoy challenges
A. CCR 200. B. The Explorer's Road.
C. Atlantic Highway. D. South West Coastal 300.
22. What is one shared feature of CCR 200 and The Explorer’s Road
A. Popular beaches and castles. B. Less-widely known spots.
C. Landmarks with a long history. D. Newly-developed nature reserves.
23. What is the disadvantage of Atlantic Highway
A. It closes in summer. B. The route is rough.
C. It is crowded sometimes. D. It charges for stopovers.
B
It was our first Thanksgiving in the new house, and I wanted everything to be perfect. However, my
husband just got a new job in retail，so our family " plan " for everyone to take part in the necessary
prep work had been torpedoed. To make matters worse, a key project for me that week had claimed two
days of planned vacation. John Lennon was right: Life is what happens while you are making other
plans.
By Wednesday night, while my husband was selling camping equipment as Christmas gifts, my
children and I were at home and into full-blown vacuum mania (吸尘狂潮). I was thankful that a kid's
pocket money did not make up salary as I put my six and eight-year-old to work, going against all child
labor laws. For my part, I was as busy as a bee in the toilet bowl, heading for a breakdown.
I don't remember what my son asked me as he was trying his best to finish the vacuuming, but I do
remember twisting into that mean-and-tight mom face before barking out a rude answer. Instead of
dashing out of view, my second-grader turned off the vacuum and walked the whole way around the
stairwell to face me. He never said a word. He just wrapped his arms around me for a hug that made me
feel ashamed of myself to this very day. My son took a risk to teach me that sometimes we need a hug
most when we are least huggable.
It was the perfect Thanksgiving. The people I loved gathered around my table where a pumpkin
covered up last year's gravy stain (肉汁污渍). We dined on just one choice of pie, and my dad used a
mismatched dinner fork without complaint. My daughter drew a picture of us on a paper plate where no
one had their eyes closed.
I learned a lot from an eight-year-old that holiday, and I've tried hard to remember it. If you find a
person complaining about her job or her dress size, give her a hug. It just might be what she needs most.
24. What does the underlined word "torpedoed" in paragraph 1 mean

B. Family happiness: the result of balancing work and life.
C. Thanksgiving surprises: imperfect perfection and unexpected hugs
D. Holiday letdown: common psychological and emotional experiences

It takes eight hours and $250, 000 to get to what remains of the RMS Titanic. On Sunday, five
people got into the underwater craft Titan to make that journey. The craft lost contact only an hour and
45 minutes into the eight- day expedition. Later wreckage (残骸) was found matching that of the craft.
Despite the danger of traveling some 12, 500 feet below the surface, this was an irresistible
opportunity---very few people get to see the Titanic with their own eyes. Actually, dives to the Titanic
have been around for more than 20 years.
It wasn't until 1985 that an expedition led by Robert Ballard and Jean-Louis Michel discovered the
Titanic's final resting place. In July 1986, Ballard placed a memorial on the ship, asking that the site be
left undisturbed in memory of the more than 1,500 people who died there.
But that didn't happen. Instead, competition over who would be allowed to salvage (打捞) artifacts
(文物) from the ship heated up. In part, it was an effort to document and conserve the artifacts --- but it
was also a rush for profits from artifact sales and public displays.
In 1992, a federal court ruled that TVLP was the first and exclusive salvor of the Titanic. Now
known as RMS Titanic Inc., the company has conducted eight expeditions to the Titanic, and has sold
more than 5,000 objects taken from the site, including jewelry.
While battles for visitation and salvage rights were fought in court, expeditions to the Titanic
continued, giving rise to a small but pricey tourist market. Multiple companies offered public tours to
explore the Titanic wreck, with prices ranging from $32,500 to $105,129 per person over the years.
The Titanic was damaged significantly upon impact with the seabed, and slowly, iron-eating bacteria
are consuming what remains. In 2019， a dive confirmed huge portions of the ship were collapsing.
Today the surrounding site is littered with trash. Visitors have also littered the area with memorials.
Attempts to protect the wreck are ongoing. In 2020，the United Kingdom and the United States agreed
to work together to grant or deny licenses to people entering and taking artifacts from the site.
28. What is the main idea of the first paragraph
A. How people explored the Titanic.
B. The danger of diving to the Titanic.
C. People’s strong interest in the Titanic.
D. The details of Titanic expedition.
29. Why did Ballard put a memorial on the Titanic
高一年级英语试卷 第 4 页 共 9 页
{#{QQABAYAQogAgAJBAABgCQQFwCEGQkBAACAoGBAAIIAIBiBFABAA=}#}
A. To mark the ship for further research.
B. To honor his dead teammates.
C. To celebrate his achievement.
D. To protect the ship’s remains.
30. What motivates the competition over the rights to salvage objects from the Titanic
A. Scientific exploration B. Historical research
C. Economic interest D. Technological development
31. What is the current condition of the Titanic
A. It is being restored B. It is being moved to a new place.
C. It is preserved in a museum. D. It is under united protection.
D
When I mentioned to some friends that we all have accents, most of them proudly replied, "Well, I
speak perfect English/Chinese/etc. " But this kind of answer misses the point.
More often than not, what we mean when we say someone " has an accent" is that their accent is
different from the local one, or that pronunciations are different from our own. But this definition of
accents is limiting and could give rise to prejudice(偏见 ). Funnily enough, in terms of the language
study, every person speaks with an accent. It is the regular differences in how we produce sounds that
define our accents. Even if you don’t hear it yourself, you speak with some sort of accent. In this sense,
it’s pointless to point out that someone "has an accent". We all do!
Every person speaks a dialect, too. In the field of language study, a dialect is a version of a
language that is characterized by its variations of structure, phrases and words. For instance, "You got
eat or not " (meaning " Have you eaten " ) is an acceptable and understood question in Singapore Oral
English. The fact that this expression would cause a standard American English speaker to take pause
doesn’t mean that Singapore Oral English is "wrong "or "ungrammatical". The sentence is well-formed
and clearly communicative, according to native Singapore English speakers' solid system of grammar.
Why should it be wrong just because it's different
We need to move beyond a narrow conception of accents and dialects — for the benefit of
everyone.
Language differences like these provide insights into people's cultural experiences and
backgrounds. In a global age, the way one speaks is a distinct part of one’s identity. Most people would
be happy to talk about the cultures behind their speech. We'd learn more about the world we live in and
make friends along the way.
32. What does the author think of his/ her friends ' response in paragraph 1
A. It misses the real meaning of accents.
B. It reflects their language levels.
C. It misses the point of communication.
D. It reflects their self confidence.
33. Why does the author use the example of Singapore Oral English
A. To correct a grammatical mistake.

B. To show the diversity of dialects.
C. To show the use of dialects is reasonable.
D. To bring in a traditional approach.
34. What does the author recommend us to do in the last paragraph
A. Learn to speak with your local dialect.
B. Seek for an official definition of accents.
C. Appreciate the value of accents and dialects.
D. Tell our local languages from others'.
35. What can be a suitable title for this passage
A. Accents Represent Our Identities
B. Everyone Has an Accent
C. Dialects Lead to Misunderstanding
D. Standard English Is at Risk

Imagine that you are an actor performing in a play for the first time. You have learned all your lines
and you know where to walk on stage. Waiting behind the closed curtain, you can hear the audience
whispering and taking their seats.
Then your big moment arrives! The curtain goes up, and the crowd falls silent. All you can see is
the spotlight shining down on you. 36 The inside of your mouth is dry, and your hands are
wet.
If you have experienced a moment like this, you know all too well what it means to have stage
fright. It is one of the most common types of fear and tends to strike people when they find themselves
at the centre of attention. 37 People experience it when playing sports, giving a presentation,
or even speaking in class. A person who suffers from stage fright may get sweaty hands, a dry mouth, a
tight throat, or shaky knees. Stage fright is actually a form of panic (恐慌), and these feelings are very
real.
38 The experience differs from person to person, but the same chemical process takes place
in each of us. In reaction to anxiety, our bodies produce a chemical that prepares us to either fight or run
away quickly. Scientists refer to this as our bodies’ “fight or flight” reaction. As a result, we feel great
energy that makes our hands sweat, our hearts race, and our knees shake.
39 Practicing your performance and following some simple tips can help calm nerves and
manage the feelings caused by anxiety. First, dress comfortably and properly. Second, before the
performance, take deep breaths and stretch to help relax your body. Third, stay away from drinks that
contain caffeine (咖啡因 ). 40 Instead, try a banana! Some doctors believe that eating a
banana can help calm your heart and the rest of your body. Finally, when you look at a crowd, try to
focus on particular people instead of the whole group. These tips have helped many people learn to deal

with their fears.
A．These might make your heart race even faster.
B．Stage fright is part of the body’s reaction to stress.
C．You don’t have to be onstage to get stage fright.
D．The good news about stage fright is that here are ways to deal with it.
E．Therefore, you’d better learn to be relaxed about this fear.
F．Then you try to speak your lines, but nothing seems to come out.
G．An researcher once gave some tips to cope with the stress.

I'll never forget the day when Mom made me go to a birthday party. I was in Mrs. Black's third
grade class in Wichita Falls, Texas, and I brought home a birthday invitation. "I'm not going,"I said.
高一年级英语试卷 第 8 页 共 9 页
{#{QQABAYAQogAgAJBAABgCQQFwCEGQkBAACAoGBAAIIAIBiBFABAA=}#}
"She's a new girl named Ruth, and Berniece and Pat aren't going, either. She asked the whole class, all
36 of us. "
As Mom studied the handmade invitation, she looked strangely sad. Then she announced, "Well,
you are going! I'll pick up a present tomorrow."I couldn't believe it. Mom had never made me go to a
party! I was sure that I’d just die if I had to go. However, Mom remained unaffected, no matter how
much I begged.
When Saturday arrived, Mom rushed me out of bed and made me wrap the pretty pink mirror
brush-and-comb set she'd bought for $2.98.She drove me over in her yellow and white car.
Ruth answered the door and signed me to follow her up the steepest(最陡峭的),scariest staircase I’d
ever seen. Stepping through the door brought me great relief. The hardwood floors shone in the sunlit
room, White snow-like mats covered the backs and arms of the well-used furniture.
The biggest cake I ever saw sat on one table. It was decorated with nine pink candles, a carelessly
printed Happy Birthday Ruth and what I think were supposed to be rosebuds. Thirty six paper cups were
near the cake, each one with a name on it.
This won't be too awful, once everyone gets here, I decided.
"Where's your mom "I asked Ruth.
Looking down at the floor, she said ," Well, she's sort of sick."
"Oh. Where's your dad "
"He's gone. "
Then there was a silence, except for a few rough coughs from behind a closed door.

1.续写词数应为 150左右；

Some 15 minutes passed, …then 10 more. And a mix of anticipation and disappointment filled the air. I couldn't help feeling frustrated that the other classmates hadn't shown up for Ruth's birthday party. In the meantime, I heard Ruth sobbing beside me. Looking up, I saw tears streaming down her face. All of a sudden, my eight-year-old heart was filled with sympathy for her and full of rage at my 35 selfish classmates. Determined to make the best of the situation, I made a critical decision to be there for Ruth and celebrate her special day, even if it meant doing it alone.
We two started with the cake, enjoying each bite. It was just the two of us, but we didn't let that ruin our spirits. We shared stories and laughter . Later, we played games, danced to our favorite songs, and even attempted to make our own paper crowns. Though the room may have been lacking the expected crowd and warm atmosphere, our bond grew stronger with each minute passing. Mom had honked outside when it dawned on me that it was noon. It was time to leave. Ruth hugged me tightly, tears in her eyes, whispering, “Thank you! You've made my day!” Sure enough, I had made a big difference in Ruth's ninth birthday, and Mom had made a big difference in my life

这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四条推荐的公路路线以及各自的特点。
21．细节理解题。根据South West Coastal 300部分中“It’s a fantastic way to discover one of the UK’s hidden treasures. Inland, there are demanding hills that provide a steep one to walkers and climbers, not to mention hundreds of square miles of forestry and rolling countryside where cycling enthusiasts can clock up the miles.(这是发现英国隐藏宝藏的绝佳方式。在内陆，有要求很高的山丘，为步行者和登山者提供了陡峭的山坡，更不用说数百平方英里的森林和绵延起伏的乡村，自行车爱好者可以在那里骑行)”可知，South West Coastal 300最适合那些喜欢挑战的人。故选D。

23．细节理解题。根据最后一段“The only downside is that the roads round here are extremely busy occasionally, so if you want a more stress-free trip, try heading down out of summer.(唯一的缺点是这里的道路偶尔会非常繁忙，所以如果你想要一个更无压力的旅行，试着在夏天去)”可知，大西洋高速公路的缺点是有时很拥挤。故选C。

28. 根据第二段的Despite the danger of travelling some 125000 feet below the surface可知，作者通过介绍五个人乘潜水艇到海底去探究“泰坦尼克号”并丧命这件事来说明潜水到“泰坦尼克号”遗址很危险。因此选B。
29.根据第三段可知Ballard在“泰坦尼克号”上放一块纪念碑是为了提醒人们不去打扰该地，从而保护该遗址。所以选择D。
30. 根据第四段和第五段可知人们争夺“泰坦尼克号”上打捞物品的权利是受到利益驱使。所以选择C。
31. 根据最后一段可知：“泰坦尼克号”的遗址遭到了很严重的破坏，美国和英国正在合力保护该遗址，向进入和拿走文物的人发放或拒发许可证，因此是联合保护。故选D。
32—35 ACCB
本文是一篇议论文。主要论述了每个人都有口音。从这个意义上说，指出某人“有口音”是毫无意义的。语言差异可以帮助人们洞察他人的文化经历和背景，因此我们要欣赏口音和方言的价值。
32．根据第一自然段“When I mentioned to some friends that we all have accents, most of them proudly replied, “Well, I speak perfect English/Chinese/etc.” But this kind of misses the point. (当我向一些朋友提到我们都有口音时，他们中的大多数人都自豪地回答说：“好吧，我的英语/汉语等都说得很好。”但这种说法没有切中要害。)”可知，作者认为他/她的朋友忽略了口音的真正含义。故选A。
33．根据第三自然段“The sentence is well-formed and clearly communicative, according to native Singapore English speakers’ solid system of grammar. Why should it be wrong just because it’s different (根据新加坡英语使用者坚实的语法体系，这个句子结构良好，沟通清晰。为什么仅仅因为它不同就应该是错误的？)”可知，作者认为不能因为它不同就认为它是错的。所以作者使用新加坡口语的例子是在为使用方言进行辩护。故选C。
34．根据最后一段“Language differences like these provide insights into people’s cultural experiences and backgrounds. In a global age, the way one speaks is a distinct part of one’s identity. Most people would be happy to talk about the cultures behind their speech. We’d learn more about the world we live in and make friends along the way. (像这样的语言差异可以洞察人们的文化经历和背景。在一个全球化的时代，一个人说话的方式是一个人身份的一个独特部分。大多数人都乐于谈论他们演讲背后的文化。我们会更多地了解我们生活的世界，并在这一过程中结交朋友。)”可知，作者在最后一段中建议我们欣赏口音和方言的价值。故选C。
35．根据第二自然段In this sense, it’s pointless to point out that someone “has an accent” We all do! (从这个意义上说，指出某人“有口音”是毫无意义的。我们都有！) 以及第三段“Every person speaks a dialect (方言), too. (每个人也会说一种方言。)”可知，作者认为每个人都有口音，而且作者在最后一段指出不同的口音可以让我们更多地了解我们生活的世界，并在这一过程中结交朋友。故B项“Everyone Has an Accent (每个人都有口音)”最能概括本文主旨。故选B。
36—40 FCBDA
本文是一篇说明文。本文介绍了面对舞台怯场的人可能会手出汗、口干、喉咙发紧或膝盖颤抖，这些被科学家称为身体的“战斗或逃跑”反应，并介绍了处理怯场的三种方法。
36．根据前文“The curtain goes up, and the crowd falls silent. All you can see is the spotlight shining down on you. (大幕拉开，人群安静下来。你只能看到聚光灯照在你身上)”和空后句“The inside of your mouth is dry, and your hands are wet. (你的嘴很干，你的手是湿的)”可知，表演在即，但是“你”很紧张，嘴巴发干，手心冒汗。结合选项，F项“Then you try to speak your lines, but nothing seems to come out. (然后你试着说出你的台词，但似乎什么也说不出来)”符合题意，承上启下。故选F。
37．根据空后“People experience it when playing sports, giving a presentation, or even speaking in class. A person who suffers from stage fright may get sweaty hands, a dry mouth, a tight throat, or shaky knees. (人们在做运动、做报告、甚至在课堂上演讲时都会有这种感觉。怯场的人可能会手出汗、口干、喉咙发紧或膝盖颤抖)”可知，人们不仅是在舞台上有恐惧感，在做运动、做报告、甚至在课堂上演讲时都会有这种感觉。结合选项，C项“You don’t have to be onstage to get stage fright. (你不一定要上台才会怯场)”符合题意，与空后句之间为递进关系。故选C。
38．根据下文“In reaction to anxiety , our bodies produce a chemical that prepares us to either fight or run away quickly. Scientists refer to this as our bodies’ “fight or flight” reaction. (作为对焦虑的反应，我们的身体会产生一种化学物质，让我们准备好迅速战斗或逃跑。科学家将这称为我们身体的“战斗或逃跑”反应)”可知，本段介绍的是面对焦虑，我们的身体的回应。结合选项，B项“Stage fright is part of the body’s reaction to stress. (怯场是身体对压力的反应) ”符合语意。故选B。
39．根据下文“First, dress comfortably and properly. Second, before the performance, take deep breaths and stretch to help relax your body. Third, stay away from drinks that contain caffeine (咖啡因). (首先，穿着舒适得体。第二，在表演之前，深呼吸和伸展来帮助放松你的身体。第三，远离含有咖啡因的饮料)”可知，此处介绍的是处理怯场的三种方法。结合选项，D项“The good news about stage fright is that here are ways to deal with it. (关于怯场的好消息是，这里有一些方法可以解决它)”为主旨句，下文是在具体介绍处理怯场的三种方法。故选D。
40．根据空前句“Third, stay away from drinks that contain caffeine (咖啡因). (第三，远离含有咖啡因的饮料)”可知，要远离含有咖啡因的饮料。A项“These might make your heart race even faster. (这些可能会让你的心跳更快)”承接空前句，介绍含有咖啡因的饮料的坏处。且空后句“Instead, try a banana! (相反，试试香蕉吧!)”具体提出替代含有咖啡因的饮料的其他食物。故选A。
