2023-2024广东省佛山市顺德区重点中学高一上学期期中考试英语试题（原卷版+ 解析版）

国华纪念中学2023-2024学年第一学期期中考试
高一英语试卷
一.单项选择(共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分)
1. She is often heard ________ English aloud in the morning.
A. to have read B. read C. to be read D. to read
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：人们经常听到她早上大声朗读英语。sb. be heard to do sth.表示“某人被听到做某事”，所以空处应用动词不定式形式作补足语，根据句中often可知，空处表示一般性动作，且read与逻辑主语She之间是主动关系，所以空处应用不定式的一般式to read。故选D。
2. In those days my family didn’t have enough room _________.
A. to live B. living in C. to live in D. living
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查不定式作定语。句意：那时候我家没有足够的地方住。enough修饰的名词后接不定式作定语，to live in不定式作定语修饰room，表示“没有足够的房间住”，且room作live的逻辑宾语，live是不及物动词，接宾语需加介词in。综上所述。故选C项。
3. Anyone who is the first one ________ the course will be offered a discount.
A. signing up for B. to sign up for C. signs up for D. will sign up for
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：任何第一个报名参加这门课程的人都可以享受折扣。当中心词被序数词或形容词最高级修饰或者中心词本身是序数词或形容词最高级时应用不定式作后置定语，此处中心词one之前有序数词the first。故选B项。
4. This is one of the most popular novels ______ by the writer.
A. which have been written B. that have been written
C. which has been written D. that has been written
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句及从句中的主谓一致。句意：这是这位作家写的最受欢迎的小说之一。分析句子结构可知空处应填定语从句部分，先行词为novels，且先行词前有最高级修饰，关系代词只能用that，关系代词在定语从句中做主语时从句谓语动词的数应与先行词的数保持一致，先行词novels为复数，所以从句谓语动词应用复数形式。故选B。
5. I have no choice but ________ you to correct my mistakes in the material attached
to the letter.
A. bother B. bothering C. bothered D. to bother
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：我别无选择，只能麻烦您纠正我在信中所附材料中的错误。have no choice but to do sth除了做……别无选择。设空处应用不定式作结果状语，故选D。
6. He hurried to the station only ______ that the train had left.
A telling B. to tell C. told D. to be told
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词的被动语态。句意：他匆忙赶到车站，却被告知火车已经开走了。分析句子结构可知，本句已有谓语动词hurried，所以空处应用非谓语形式，根据句意可知，空白处表示一个意想不到的结果，因此用“only＋不定式”表示，又因为told和逻辑主语he之间是被动关系，所以用不定式的被动语态。故选D项。
7. ________ down to your study, or you will have difficulty ________ the homework.
A. Settle; finishing B. To settle; finishing
C. Settling; to finish D. Having settled; to finish
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查祈使句和非谓语动词。句意：专心学习吧，不然你会很难完成作业的。A. Settle开始专注于；finishing完成；B. To settle开始专注于； finishing完成；C. Settling开始专注于； to finish完成；D. Having settled开始专注于； to finish完成。分析句子结构可知，本句符合：祈使句+or+含有一般将来时的陈述句。第一个空为祈使句用法，应用动词原形形式；第二个空为非谓语动词，have difficulty (in)doing sth.为固定短语，意为“做某事有困难”，应用动名词形式。故选A项。
8. ________ anything about English, he cannot talk with foreign teachers.
A. Not learned B. Learned not C. Not learning D. Learning not
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：他一点英语都没学，不能和外教交谈。动词learn和主语之间是主动关系，应用其现在分词作状语，否定词应位于非谓语动词之前。故选C项。
9. The building, from ______top visitors can enjoy a good view of Sanya, attracts hundreds of tourists every day.
A. which B. whose C. its D. where
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：这座建筑每天吸引着数百名游客，游客可以从它的顶层俯瞰三亚的美景。分析题意，定语从句的先行词The building和top之间表示所属关系。此处需用whose在从句中做定语。故选B项。
10. All her time _________ experiments, she has no time for entertainment.
A. devoted to doing B. devoted to do
C. devoting to do D. is devoted to doing
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：她把她的一生都贡献给了实验，没有时间娱乐。这里逗号后是一个完整的句子，逗号前All her time _________ experiments没有引导词，所以它不是从句；中间是逗号，没有并列连词，也不可能是并列句；句子的主语是she，all her time是所在句子的逻辑主语，与devote是被动关系，所以此处是独立主格结构，再根据devote all one's time to doing意为“把一生贡献给做某事”。故选A。
【名师点睛】
非谓语动词作状语，其逻辑主语须与主句主语保持一致。若不一致，非谓语动词形式须另带主语，从而构成复合结构的形式作状语。这种结构称为“独立结构”。其中，非谓语动词主动用现在分词，被动用过去分词。所以独立主格结构由两部分组成，前一部分是名词或者代词，后一部分是非谓语动词(不定式、现在分词、过去分词)或形容词、副词、名词或介词短语。前后两部分具有逻辑主谓关系。独立主格结构在句中作状语，多用于书面语。独立主格结构本身不是句子，在句子中作状语，表时间、原因、条件、伴随、目的及状态等。如本题即为独立主格结构。
11. Time should be made good use of ______ our lessons well.
A. learning B. learned C. to learn D. having learned
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：时间应该被很好地利用来学习我们的功课。句中用不定式作目的状语。此句可以转化为主动语态We should made good use of time to learn our lessons well. 故选C。
12. It was in my senior high school ________ I once studied 9 subjects ________ I made great progress in many aspects.
A. that; that B. where; when C. that; when D. where; that
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句和强调句。句意：正是在我曾经学习了9个科目的高中，我在许多方面取得了很大的进步。第一空为定语从句修饰先行词senior high school，在从句作地点状语，故用where；第二空为强调句：it was+被强调部分+that/who，被强调部分为in my senior high school where I once studied 9 subjects，应用that。故选D。
13. This school was built in honor of the businessman who was believed ________ people eliminate (消除) poverty since 1990s.
A. to have helped B. to have been helped
C. to help D. having been helped
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：这所学校是为了纪念这位自20世纪90年代以来帮助人们消除贫困的商人而建的。“主语+be+过去分词+不定式”是固定句型。动词help和主语指代the businessman的who之间是主动关系，排除BD；其动作发生在谓语动作之前，应用动词不定式的完成式。故选A项。
14. The old woman has 2 dogs and 3 cats, ________ play with her happily, ________ makes her very satisfied.
A. and all of them; that B. all of them; which
C. and all of which; that D. all of which; which
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句的引导词。句意：这位老妇人有2只狗和3只猫，它们都和她玩得很开心，这使她很满意。第一个设空处引导非限制性的定语从句，先行词为2 dogs and 3 cats，空格处为“介词+which”的结构，应用all of which；或者第一个设空处为and并列的两个句子，them指代上句中的“2 dogs and 3 cats”，故第一个设空处也可以为and all of them；故第一个设空处为all of which/and all of them；第二个设空处引导非限制性的定语从句，先行词为前面整个句子“________ play with her happily (它们都和她玩得很开心)”，应用which。结合答案，故选D。
15. With the painting________ on the wall, the room looked complete and beautiful.
A. being hung B. hung C. to be hung D. having hung
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：墙上挂着这幅画，整个房间看起来既完整又美丽。分析句子结构可知，空处作非谓语动词，hand与逻辑主语the painting之间是被动关系，且结合语意可知，hang为已完成的动作，所以空处应用动词的过去分词形式hung作宾语补足语。故选B。
二、阅读理解(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)

Letter 1 Your article (November) mentioned a doctor's visit for “heat and compression” treatment. I bought an inexpensive microwavable moist-heat eye compress online and use it for several minutes at bedtime to help open the oil glands. Plus, the warmth and ritual help me relax and fall asleep. No more messy washcloth compresses for me! —Julie Evans Minneapolis, Minnesota Letter 2 The Quality Inn in Kodak, Tennessee, turning into a shelter during a historic winter storm showed so much kindness that I read the story twice (November). For Sean Patel to open his hotel to locals in need during the storm and power outage, at Christmastime and for just $25 (the lowest price the corporate regulations would allow), was priceless. The town is a better place because of Patel and his staff. —Annette Wolfe Shelton, Connecticut
Letter 3 You suggested using toothpicks to raise a pot lid and prevent the pot from boiling over (October). I prevent boilovers by just laying a wooden spoon over the open pot. The spoon will pop most of the bubbles on contact — hasn't failed me yet! —Pam Snellgrove LaGrange, Georgia Letter 4 The story about a snorkeler, Carter Viss, who lost his arm after getting hit by a speedboat (October) — and then forgiving the driver — was among the most compelling I've ever read. Here was a story of health and loss, sea and shore, healing and the hope to endure out of the darkness into the light. Simply marvelous! —Leander Jones Northport, Alabama

“They tell me that you’d like to make a statue of me — is that correct, Miss Vinnie Ream ”
The deep, gentle voice helped calm the nervous girl. Asking a favor of the President of the United States was no casual matter, especially for a seventeen-year-old girl.
“Yes, sir,” she replied, her dark eyes meeting his. “I wouldn’t have dared to ask you, but my teacher, Mr. Mills, says I am ready. I plan to make it in an admirable manner.”
President Lincoln smiled. “Painters, sculptors — they’ve all tried to make the best of this ordinary face, but I’m afraid there’ not much hope. What did you have in mind, Miss Ream A bust (半身像) ”
Before Vinnie could say yes, the President hurried on, a shade of apology in his voice. “Of course — I shouldn’t have asked. A full-length pose would be much too big, a project for a young woman your size.”
Vinnie’s face turned red. She realized she looked like a child, with her tiny figure. “Small does not mean weak, sir,” she defended herself. “I was born in the country of Wisconsin. I’ve driven teams of horses and carried water. Making a full-length clay (黏土) figure would not exhaust my strength — and that is what I intend to do!”
The President’s eyes brightened at her show of spirit. “Sorry, madam, I have underestimated you as I didn’t know your background.”
But his smile faded as he rubbed his beard with bony fingers, in thought. “Miss Ream,” he sighed, “I’d like to let you do it, but as you know, we are in the middle of a war. How could I possibly take the time to pose for a sculpture now I hardly have a minute to myself.”
Vinnie glanced around and noted the size of his office. “I work quickly,” she said. Her voice was soft but confident as she pointed to the corner near the windows. “If I were to bring my clay here and work for three hours every afternoon, I could complete most of the project while you are at your desk.”
The President seemed to consider her idea seriously. He got up and shook Vinnie’s hand warmly. “I’ve heard that you are a talented young woman, and I have found you charming and intelligent as well. I cannot make my decision immediately, but you will hear from me soon.”
The very next day, Vinnie received an invitation from the President.
19. What gave Vinnie confidence to make her request of President Lincoln
A. Her aggressive personality. B. Mr. Mills’s encouraging remark.
C. President Lincoln’s gentle voice. D. Her interest in a challenging job.
20. How did President Lincoln first respond to Vinnie’s request
A. Pleased. B. Thrilled. C. Regretful. D. Doubtful.
21. Vinnie confirmed her ability to make a full-length statue by highlighting ______.
A. the heavy labor she had done before
B. her experience from other project
C. her innocent childhood in the country
D. the skill she picked up in Wisconsin
22. What message does the story convey
A. A strong-willed soul can reach his goal.
B. Experience helps to promote excellence.
C. Ups and downs make one strong.
D. Devotion requires enthusiasm.
【答案】19. B 20. D 21. A 22. A

【22题详解】
推理判断题。纵观全文可知，本文讲述了Vinnie Ream向林肯总统提出给他做一个全身雕像的请求，一开始林肯总统对此表示怀疑，在Vinnie的不断努力争取后，最终第二天Vinnie收到了林肯总统的邀请。由此可推知，这个故事表达了意志坚强的人能达到目标的思想。故选A项。

Imagine how you’d feel if you had to get more than 9,000 tons of junk out to the sidewalk. That’s how much trash is floating around in space. In fact, there’s about 4 million pounds flying over our heads in low-Earth orbit. Daan, a Dutch artist, and his team at Space Waste Lab have come up with a creative plan that could clear up space junk in a spectacular fashion.
①Most space waste comes from dead satellites and rockets. Functioning satellites are the backbone of the information systems that keep our world running smoothly. But all the satellites eventually become obsolete within just a few decades. When they die out, there’s the problem of them drifting in outer space, collecting in what scientists call the “graveyard orbit”.
Maybe you’re thinking, “Why should I care about garbage 12,500 miles above me ” Well, all that fun stuff that satellites help beam down to us — mobile games, Instagram, cat videos — could be shut down by space waste. Lots of old junk floating around up there, plus new satellites added each year, means more and more high-speed collisions (碰撞). And when chunks of junk crash into one another, they break apart into millions of pieces, quickly building up speed and turning into fast-moving objects, which are dangerous to operational satellites as well as astronauts working on the International Space Station.
②Space waste is a problem that’s escalated so much that some scientists say that by 2050 we’ll be forced to stop launching new spacecraft altogether, including new satellites. Think about that for a minute. When the last satellites finally become disused, GPS, cell phones, and the Internet will no longer function.
③So we have to find a way to deal with this space garbage, and Daan pictures a sort of trash pickup, which involves groups of small spacecraft casting large nets into orbit that would collect space debris(碎片) and send it back toward Earth at top speed. Here’s the best part — while reentering Earth’s atmosphere, the pieces of junk would burn up all at once, creating a light show similar to hundreds of shooting stars falling in the night sky. A spectacle indeed!
To get ready for such an amazing effort, Space Waste Lab has been traveling to major cities across Europe and enlightening the public on the problem of the junk in space. ④But Daan doesn’t just talk about ways to relieve the problem — he’s created something a little grander than that. In October 2018, his team launched Space Waste Lab Performance, an outdoor art exhibition that shows the location of each piece of space trash using large lasers that make each debris look a bit like a star wandering slowly and silently over the sky, allowing viewers to wave and say, “Hello, space trash!”
23. According to the passage, which sentence best replaces the question mark in the diagram
A. There is more junk floating in space each year as new satellites are added.
B. Satellites can help people track the weather and find new locations.
C. Working satellites can be damaged and astronauts can be hurt.
D. The Space Waste Lab Performance can show people where satellites are located.
24. Which of the following best supports the idea that space waste should be dealt with very soon
A. Sentence ① B. Sentence ②
C. Sentence ③ D. Sentence ④
25. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage
A. Space Junk Harms Digital Systems
B. Test of Waste Collection Nets
C. A New Glimpse into Outer Space
D. Artists’ Proposal to Save Space
26. What’s the writer’s attitude towards Daan’s project
A. Critical. B. Indifferent. C. Neutral. D. Approving.
【答案】23. C 24. B 25. D 26. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，介绍了荷兰艺术家Daan和他在太空垃圾实验室的团队提出了一个创意计划，可以以壮观的方式清理太空垃圾。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。本题是考查太空垃圾的危害，根据第三段中“And when chunks of junk crash into one another, they break apart into millions of pieces, quickly building up speed and turning into fast-moving objects, which are dangerous to operational satellites as well as astronauts working on the International Space Station.(当大块的垃圾相互碰撞时，它们会分解成数百万块碎片，迅速提高速度，变成快速移动的物体，这对运行中的卫星和国际空间站上的宇航员都是危险的)”可知，太空垃圾会损害工作中的卫星，宇航员也会受到伤害，故选C项。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。①处划线句意思是：大多数太空垃圾来自于废弃的卫星和火箭。运行正常的卫星是信息系统的骨干，这些系统使我们的世界保持平稳运行；②处划线句意思是：太空垃圾是一个日益严重的问题，一些科学家说，到2050年，我们将被迫完全停止发射新的航天器，包括新的卫星；③处划线句意思是：因此，我们必须找到一种方法来处理这些太空垃圾，Daan拍摄了一种垃圾收集装置，其中包括一组小型航天器将大网撒入轨道，收集太空垃圾并以最高速度将其送回地球；④处划线句意思是：但Dann不仅仅是在谈论如何解决问题，他创造了一个比这更伟大的东西。根据②处划线句句意再结合其下一句“Think about that for a minute. When the last satellites finally become disused, GPS, cell phones, and the Internet will no longer function.(花一分钟思考下。当最后一颗卫星最终报废时，全球定位系统、手机和互联网将不再发挥作用)”可知，此处突出了处理太空垃圾的紧迫性，因此②处划线句最能支持太空垃圾应该很快处理的观点，故选B项。
【25题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是根据第一段中的“Daan, a Dutch artist, and his team at Space Waste Lab have come up with a creative plan that could clear up space junk in a spectacular fashion.(荷兰艺术家Daan和他在太空垃圾实验室的团队想出了一个创造性的计划，可以以一种壮观的方式清理太空垃圾)”可知，本文主要介绍了荷兰艺术家Daan和他在太空垃圾实验室的团队提出了一个创意计划，可以以壮观的方式清理太空垃圾，故D项“艺术家拯救太空的建议”适合作为文章标题。故选D项。
26题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Here’s the best part — while reentering Earth’s atmosphere, the pieces of junk would burn up all at once, creating a light show similar to hundreds of shooting stars falling in the night sky. A spectacle indeed!(这是最精彩的部分——当这些垃圾重新进入地球大气层时，它们会立刻燃烧起来，创造出一场类似于夜空中数百颗流星坠落的灯光秀。确实壮观！)”可知，作者肯定了Daan的计划，持赞成态度。故选D项。
D
Time and how we experience it have always puzzled us. Physicists have created fascinating theories, but their time is measured by a pendulum (钟摆) and is not psychological time, which leaps with little regard to the clock or calendar. As someone who understood the distinction observed, ''When you sit with a nice girl for two hours it seems like a minute, but when you sit on a hot stove, a minute seems like two hours. ''
Psychologists have long noticed that larger units of time, such as months and years, fly on swifter wings as we age. They also note that the more time is structured with schedules and appointments, the more rapidly it seems to pass. For example, a day at the office flies compared with a day at the beach.
Expectation and familiarity also make time seem to flow more rapidly. Almost all of us have had the experience of driving somewhere we've never been before. Surrounded by unfamiliar scenery, with no real idea of when we’ll arrive, we experience the trip as lasing a long time. But the return trip, although exactly as long, seems to take far less time. The novelty of the outward journey has become routine.
When days become as identical as beads (小珠子)on a string, they mix together, and even months become a single day. To counter this, try to find ways to interrupt the structure of your day-- to stop time, so to speak.
Learning something new is one of the ways to slow the passage of time. One of the reasons the days of our youth seems to be full and long is that these are the days of learning and discovery. For many of us, learning ends when we leave school, but this doesn't have to be.
27. What is the underlined sentence in paragraph 1 used to show
A. Psychological time is quite puzzling.
B. Time should not be measured by a pendulum.
C. Physical time is different from psychological time
D. Physical theory has nothing to do with the true sense of time
28. Why do units of time fly faster as we grow older
A. Our sense of time changes.
B. We spend less time at the beach
C. More time is structured and scheduled
D. Time is structured with too many appointments.
29. What does ''Novelty'' in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. excitement B. unfamiliarity C. imagination D. amusement
30. What is the purpose of the passage
A. To give various explanations about time
B. To describe how we experience time physically
C. To show the differences of two kinds of time
D. To explain why time flies and how to slow it down
【答案】27. C 28. C 29. B 30. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是同样的事情，同样的时间，但是心理层面的时间和物理概念的时间是有差别的。文章解释了时间为什么过的很快，以及怎样让它变慢。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据划线句子的上一句Physicists have created fascinating theories, but their time is measured by a pendulum and is not psychological time, which leaps with little regard to the clock or calendar(物理学家创造了有趣的理论，但他们的时间是通过钟摆衡量的，而不是心理时间，心理时间和钟表或日历没有关系。)可推测，划线句子是为了说明物理概念的时间和心理的时间是有区别的。C. Physical time is different from psychological time(物理时间和心理时间是有区别的)符合以上说法，故选C项。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的They also note that the more time is structured with schedules and appointments, the more rapidly it seems to pass．(他们还指出，日程表和约会安排的越多，时间似乎过得就越快。)可知，因为单位时间是被规划好的，所以越是细致规划的时间，看上去就过的越快。C. More time is structured and scheduled(更过的时间被规划和安排)符合以上说法，故选C项。
【29题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段的Surrounded by unfamiliar scenery, with no real idea of when we’ll arrive, we experience the trip as lasting a long time. The novelty of the outward journey has become routine.(周围是不熟悉的环境，不知道我们何时到达，我们经历的旅行似乎持续了很长时间。外面世界的novelty已经成了家常便饭。)根据句意可知，因为对周边环境的不熟悉才觉得时间过得慢，而这种情况成为我们生活的一种常规了。由此猜测，划线部分的意思是“不熟悉”。B. unfamiliarity(不熟悉)符合以上说法，故选B项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章的主要内容，尤其最后一段的Learning something new is one of the ways to slow the passage of time. One of the reasons the days of our youth seems so full and long is that these are the days of learning and discovery. For many of us, learning ends when we leave school, but this doesn’t have to be. (学习新的东西是减缓时间流逝的方法之一。我们的青春岁月之所以充实而漫长，其中一个原因就是这些是学习和发现的日子。对于我们很多人来说，离开学校就是学习的结束，但这不一定非得这样。)可知，作者写篇文章的是为了陈述为什么时间过的很快，以及怎样让时间变慢。D. To explain why time flies and how to slow it down(为了解释为什么时间流逝的快，以及如何让它变慢)符合以上推测，故选D项。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)(E同时涂黑AB， F同时涂黑CD， G 同时涂黑BC)
Today it is common to see people who walk about with colored wires hanging from their ears wherever they go. They move about in their personal bubbles，sometimes unaware of what’s happening around them. ____31____ Outside life is shut out. So are you one of “them”
For me, walking around in my own personal bubble is perfect. ____32____ What’s even better, wearing earphones seems to give a signal to people which says：“I'm not available for chatting at the moment.”
Suppose you’re at work and about to make an incredible breakthrough，but a colleague suddenly turns up. At this precise moment，the slightest disturbance would break your concentration. ____33____ Once again，those wires hanging from your ears would be sure to give that “Go away!” signal.
____34____ It’s probably part of the growing up stage when they just want to ignore their whole family. While their mothers give them lectures about why they should do their homework，they can just turn up the volume on their MP3 player, smile and say “Yes, Mum.” Problem solved.
Pretty soon，not only will we have pretty colored wires hanging from our ears，but also our brains will be directly plugged into some new high-tech instrument. We’ll be in a virtual world，communicating with everyone else，as we like. In this world，we will all be permanently plugged in. ____35____ And they are changing our social habits along the way.
In the end, there is a thin line between using technology as a tool for making life better and being a slave to it! It’s so strange—suddenly. I don’t feel like wearing my earphones anymore.
A. Our instruments are changing quickly.
B. I also have wires hanging from my ears.
C. In the home situation，teenagers love these wires.

【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文。文章介绍了今天的从们喜欢戴着耳机“躲”在自己世界里的原因和好处，但同时也可能因此变成科技“奴隶”。
【31题详解】
上文“They move about in their personal bubbles，sometimes unaware of what’s happening around them. (他们带着自己的“泡泡”四处走动，有时都不知道周围发生了什么)”讲戴着耳机的人就像是藏在“泡泡”里，不知道周围的事情，F项“Listening to music through earphones is one of the perfect ways to ignore such interruptions. (用耳机听音乐是忽略这些干扰的最佳方法之一)”说明其原因，因为戴着耳机听音乐可以让人忽略周围的干扰，且其中“such interruptions”与上文“what’s happening around them”相照应，同时，下文“Outside life is shut out.(外部环境被拒之门外)”可知，是F项的结果，与前文构成顺承关系。故选F项。
【32题详解】
根据下文“What’s even better...(更好的是……)”可知，下文与设空句之间是递进关系，设空句也应讲戴着耳机听音乐，带着自己的“泡泡”四处走动的好处，D项“I don’t have to deal with the noise from the environment.(我不需要应对来自环境的噪音) ”说带着自己的“泡泡”就不需要应对来自环境的噪音，符合语境。故选D项。
【33题详解】
上文“At this precise moment，the slightest disturbance would break your concentration.(在这个关键的时刻，最轻微的干扰都会扰乱你的注意力)”提出了一个生活中的问题，G项“Listening to music through earphones is one of the perfect ways to ignore such interruptions.(用耳机听音乐是忽略这些干扰的最佳方法之一)”与其下文“Once again，those wires hanging from your ears would be sure to give that ‘Go away!’ signal. (另外，挂在你耳朵上的耳机线一定会发出“走开!”的信号) ”一起讲戴着耳机可以帮助你解决问题，不受干扰，下文是上文问题的解决办法。故选G项。
【34题详解】
下文“It’s probably part of the growing up stage when they just want to ignore their whole family. While their mothers give them lectures about why they should do their homework，they can just turn up the volume on their MP3 player, smile and say ‘Yes, Mum.’ Problem solved.(这可能是成长阶段的一部分，他们想要忽略整个家庭。当他们的妈妈给他们讲为什么他们应该做作业时，他们可以把MP3播放器的音量调大，微笑着说“是的，妈妈。”。问题解决了)”讲在家庭里孩子如何用戴着耳机听音乐来逃避父母的说教，解释了C项“In the home situation，teenagers love these wires.(在家庭环境中，青少年喜欢这些耳机线)”中孩子们在家中喜欢戴着耳机的原因，上下文构成因果关系。故选C项。
【35题详解】
根据指代关系和下文“And they are changing our social habits along the way.(在这个过程中，它们也在改变我们社会习惯)”可知，设空句中需明确下文中“they”和“along the way”的指代内容，A 项“Our instruments are changing quickly.(我们的设备正在快速变化)”中“Our instruments”和“are changing quickly”即下文“they”和“along the way ”指代对象，上下文相互呼应。故选A项。

【分析】这是一篇说明文。这篇短文讲的是北京胡同名字的由来，其间人们的友好关系等，介绍了北京胡同对于北京文化的重要性。
【86题详解】
考查动词时态。lie in意为“位于，在于”，整篇文章采用一般现在时的叙述，主语是“culture”，为单数，故用一般现在时的第三人称单数。故填lies。
【87题详解】
考查介词。根据短语appeal to表示“吸引”。故填to。
【88题详解】
考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知give在句中作非谓语动词，与逻辑主语name构成被动关系，故用过去分词。故填given。
【89题详解】
考查省略句。在when连接的状语从句中，常省略跟主句相同的主语和be动词。本句完整为When one is viewing from the air。故填viewing。
【90题详解】
考查定语从句。此处为非限定性定语从句修饰上文整个句子，且从句中缺少主语，故应用关系代词which引导。故填which。

【92题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：在胡同里，你可以体验当地人的生活。此处local为可数名词，此处结合句意应用复数形式。故填locals。
【93题详解】
考查动词时态语态。本句中find和主语之间是被动关系，情态动词can后面用动词原形。故填be found。
【94题详解】
考查动词。句意：在这些巷子里闲聊是很常见的场景，因为这是人们加强关系的主要方式。应用strength的动词形式即strengthen，意为“加强，增强”，故填strengthen。
【95题详解】
考查冠词。句意：如果一个人想要探索北京胡同文化，体验北京胡同美食和胡同购物，胡同之旅是一个必看的景点。此处must-see为可数名词，表示泛指应用不定冠词，且must-see为辅音音素开头的单词。故填a。
【点睛】状语从句中的省略
(1)在when, while, if, as if, though(或although), as, until, once, whether, unless, where等连词连接的状语从句中，常省略跟主句相同的主语和be动词。如：
When (water is) pure, water is a colorless liquid. 水纯净时，是无色的液体。

96. 坚持住！没有什么比意识到所有的汗水和努力最终都是值得的更让人满意的了。(汉译英)
【答案】Hang in there! Nothing gives one more satisfaction than realizing that all the sweat and hard work were worth it in the end.
【解析】
【详解】考查比较级和宾语从句以及时态。分析所给中文提示词，“坚持住!”为固定表达，可译为“Hang in there!”，“没有什么”作主语，译为“nothing”，“更让人满意的了”作谓语和宾语，根据“更”应该用比较级，所以可译为“gives one more satisfaction”用双宾结构，“比意识到”，用than，为介词，后接名词，所以译为“than realizing”，“所有的汗水和努力最终都是值得的”可用that引导的宾语从句，“所有的汗水和努力”作主语，译为“all the sweat and hard work”，此处描述的是意识到过去的工作是值得的，所以从句时态应当采用一般过去时，“值得的”的英文表达为短语“be worth it” ，而that从句中主语是 all the sweat and hard work，所以应采用be动词were，“最终”为固定短语，译为“in the end”。故译为：Hang in there! Nothing gives one more satisfaction than realizing that all the sweat and hard work were worth it in the end.
97. 跑步能增强你的免疫系统，给你良好的上半身和下半身力量，还有缓解(用n.)紧张情绪。(汉译英)

98. 任何心情沮丧的人都可以去跑步让自己振作起来。(汉译英)
【答案】Anybody who is feeling down can go for a run to cheer themselves up.
【解析】
【详解】考查动词短语和定语从句及时态。分析句子可知，这里主句时态可用一般现在时。表示“任何心情沮丧的人”应用anybody who is feeling down，其中anybody作主语，为先行词，who is feeling down为定语从句，用现在进行时；表示“可以去跑步让自己振作起来”应用 can go for a run to cheer themselves up，其中to cheer themselves up为不定式作目的状语。故翻译为Anybody who is feeling down can go for a run to cheer themselves up.
99. 武术通常被称为刚或柔。这些术语说明了一种应对对手力量的方法。(汉译英)
【答案】Martial arts are often referred to as either soft or hard. These terms imply a way of dealing with your opponent’s force.

【详解】考查短语、时态、语态、名词和形容词。表示“武术”应用名词短语Martial arts，做主语，位于句首，首字母需大写；表示“被称为”应用短语be referred to as...，此处为客观陈述，应用一般现在时；表示“刚或柔”应用either soft or hard；表示“术语”应用名词term，由these知应用复数形式，作主语；表示“说明”应用动词imply，作谓语动词，由句意知此处应用一般现在时，表示“一种……的方法”应用a way of doing...，表示“应对”应用动词短语deal with，此处应用动名词形式作宾语，表示“对手的力量”应用your opponent’s force，作宾语。故翻译为Martial arts are often referred to as either soft or hard. These terms imply a way of dealing with your opponent’s force。
100. Karate根源于福建省。来自福建的移民们定居在当时的冲绳王国。(the kingdom of Okinawa) (汉译英)
【答案】Karate’s roots are derived from Fujian Province. A community of Chinese migrants from Fujian settled in what was then the kingdom of Okinawa.
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语和宾语从句。表示“Karate根源于”可用Karate’s roots作主语；表示“源自福建省”翻译为be derived from Fujian Province；表示“来自福建的移民们”翻译为A community of Chinese migrants from Fujian，作主语；表示“定居”短语为settle in；表示“在当时的冲绳王国”用what引导宾语从句，翻译为what was then the kingdom of Okinawa。描述过去发生的事为一般过去时。故翻译为Karate’s roots are derived from Fujian Province.

(A)
Letter 1 Your article (November) mentioned a doctor's visit for “heat and compression” treatment. I bought an inexpensive microwavable moist-heat eye compress online and use it for several minutes at bedtime to help open the oil glands. Plus, the warmth and ritual help me relax and fall asleep. No more messy washcloth compresses for me! —Julie Evans Minneapolis, Minnesota Letter 2 The Quality Inn in Kodak, Tennessee, turning into a shelter during a historic winter storm showed so much kindness that I read the story twice (November). For Sean Patel to open his hotel to locals in need during the storm and power outage, at Christmastime and for just $25 (the lowest price the corporate regulations would allow), was priceless. The town is a better place because of Patel and his staff. —Annette Wolfe Shelton, Connecticut
Letter 3 You suggested using toothpicks to raise a pot lid and prevent the pot from boiling over (October). I prevent boilovers by just laying a wooden spoon over the open pot. The spoon will pop most of the bubbles on contact — hasn't failed me yet! —Pam Snellgrove LaGrange, Georgia Letter 4 The story about a snorkeler, Carter Viss, who lost his arm after getting hit by a speedboat (October) — and then forgiving the driver — was among the most compelling I've ever read.

“They tell me that you’d like to make a statue of me — is that correct, Miss Vinnie Ream ”
The deep, gentle voice helped calm the nervous girl. Asking a favor of the President of the United States was no casual matter, especially for a seventeen-year-old girl.
“Yes, sir,” she replied, her dark eyes meeting his. “I wouldn’t have dared to ask you, but my teacher, Mr. Mills, says I am ready. I plan to make it in an admirable manner.”
President Lincoln smiled. “Painters, sculptors — they’ve all tried to make the best of this ordinary face, but I’m afraid there’ not much hope. What did you have in mind, Miss Ream A bust (半身像) ”
Before Vinnie could say yes, the President hurried on, a shade of apology in his voice. “Of course — I shouldn’t have asked. A full-length pose would be much too big, a project for a young woman your size.”
Vinnie’s face turned red. She realized she looked like a child, with her tiny figure. “Small does not mean weak, sir,” she defended herself. “I was born in the country of Wisconsin. I’ve driven teams of horses and carried water. Making a full-length clay (黏土) figure would not exhaust my strength — and that is what I intend to do!”
The President’s eyes brightened at her show of spirit. “Sorry madam, I have underestimated you as I didn’t know your background.”
But his smile faded as he rubbed his beard with bony fingers, in thought. “Miss Ream,” he sighed, “I’d like to let you do it, but as you know, we are in the middle of a war. How could I possibly take the time to pose for a sculpture now I hardly have a minute to myself.”
Vinnie glanced around and noted the size of his office. “I work quickly,” she said. Her voice was soft but confident as she pointed to the corner near the windows. “If I were to bring my clay here and work for three hours every afternoon, I could complete most of the project while you are at your desk.”
The President seemed to consider her idea seriously. He got up and shook Vinnie’s hand warmly. “I’ve heard that you are a talented young woman, and I have found you charming and intelligent as well. I cannot make my decision immediately, but you will hear from me soon.”
The very next day, Vinnie received an invitation from the President.
19. What gave Vinnie confidence to make her request of President Lincoln
A. Her aggressive personality. B. Mr. Mills’s encouraging remark.
C. President Lincoln’s gentle voice. D. Her interest in a challenging job.
20. How did President Lincoln first respond to Vinnie’s request
A. Pleased. B. Thrilled. C. Regretful. D. Doubtful.
21. Vinnie confirmed her ability to make a full-length statue by highlighting ______.
A. the heavy labor she had done before
B. her experience from other project
C. her innocent childhood in the country
D. the skill she picked up in Wisconsin
22. What message does the story convey
A. A strong-willed soul can reach his goal.
B. Experience helps to promote excellence.
C. Ups and downs make one strong.
D. Devotion requires enthusiasm.
C
Imagine how you’d feel if you had to get more than 9,000 tons of junk out to the sidewalk. That’s how much trash is floating around in space. In fact, there’s about 4 million pounds flying over our heads in low-Earth orbit. Daan, a Dutch artist, and his team at Space Waste Lab have come up with a creative plan that could clear up space junk in a spectacular fashion.
①Most space waste comes from dead satellites and rockets. Functioning satellites are the backbone of the information systems that keep our world running smoothly. But all the satellites eventually become obsolete within just a few decades. When they die out, there’s the problem of them drifting in outer space, collecting in what scientists call the “graveyard orbit”.
Maybe you’re thinking, “Why should I care about garbage 12,500 miles above me ” Well, all that fun stuff that satellites help beam down to us — mobile games, Instagram, cat videos — could be shut down by space waste. Lots of old junk floating around up there, plus new satellites added each year, means more and more high-speed collisions (碰撞). And when chunks of junk crash into one another, they break apart into millions of pieces, quickly building up speed and turning into fast-moving objects, which are dangerous to operational satellites as well as astronauts working on the International Space Station.
②Space waste is a problem that’s escalated so much that some scientists say that by 2050 we’ll be forced to stop launching new spacecraft altogether, including new satellites. Think about that for a minute. When the last satellites finally become disused, GPS, cell phones, and the Internet will no longer function.
③So we have to find a way to deal with this space garbage, and Daan pictures a sort of trash pickup, which involves groups of small spacecraft casting large nets into orbit that would collect space debris(碎片) and send it back toward Earth at top speed. Here’s the best part — while reentering Earth’s atmosphere, the pieces of junk would burn up all at once, creating a light show similar to hundreds of shooting stars falling in the night sky. A spectacle indeed!
To get ready for such an amazing effort, Space Waste Lab has been traveling to major cities across Europe and enlightening the public on the problem of the junk in space. ④But Daan doesn’t just talk about ways to relieve the problem — he’s created something a little grander than that. In October 2018, his team launched Space Waste Lab Performance, an outdoor art exhibition that shows the location of each piece of space trash using large lasers that make each debris look a bit like a star wandering slowly and silently over the sky, allowing viewers to wave and say, “Hello, space trash!”
23. According to the passage, which sentence best replaces the question mark in the diagram
A. There is more junk floating in space each year as new satellites are added.
B. Satellites can help people track the weather and find new locations.
C. Working satellites can be damaged and astronauts can be hurt.
D. The Space Waste Lab Performance can show people where satellites are located.
24. Which of the following best supports the idea that space waste should be dealt with very soon
A. Sentence ① B. Sentence ②
C. Sentence ③ D. Sentence ④
25. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage
A. Space Junk Harms Digital Systems
B. Test of Waste Collection Nets
C. A New Glimpse into Outer Space
D. Artists’ Proposal to Save Space
26. What’s the writer’s attitude towards Daan’s project
A. Critical. B. Indifferent. C. Neutral. D. Approving.
D
Time and how we experience it have always puzzled us. Physicists have created fascinating theories, but their time is measured by a pendulum (钟摆) and is not psychological time, which leaps with little regard to the clock or calendar. As someone who understood the distinction observed, ''When you sit with a nice girl for two hours it seems like a minute, but when you sit on a hot stove, a minute seems like two hours. ''
Psychologists have long noticed that larger units of time, such as months and years, fly on swifter wings as we age. They also note that the more time is structured with schedules and appointments, the more rapidly it seems to pass. For example, a day at the office flies compared with a day at the beach.
Expectation and familiarity also make time seem to flow more rapidly. Almost all of us have had the experience of driving somewhere we've never been before. Surrounded by unfamiliar scenery, with no real idea of when we’ll arrive, we experience the trip as lasing a long time. But the return trip, although exactly as long, seems to take far less time. The novelty of the outward journey has become routine.
When days become as identical as beads (小珠子)on a string, they mix together, and even months become a single day. To counter this, try to find ways to interrupt the structure of your day-- to stop time, so to speak.
Learning something new is one of the ways to slow the passage of time. One of the reasons the days of our youth seems to be full and long is that these are the days of learning and discovery. For many of us, learning ends when we leave school, but this doesn't have to be.
27. What is the underlined sentence in paragraph 1 used to show
A. Psychological time is quite puzzling.
B Time should not be measured by a pendulum.
C. Physical time is different from psychological time
D. Physical theory has nothing to do with the true sense of time
28. Why do units of time fly faster as we grow older
A. Our sense of time changes.
B. We spend less time at the beach
C. More time is structured and scheduled
D. Time is structured with too many appointments.
29. What does ''Novelty'' in paragraph 3 probably mean
A excitement B. unfamiliarity C. imagination D. amusement
30. What is the purpose of the passage
A. To give various explanations about time
B. To describe how we experience time physically
C. To show the differences of two kinds of time
D. To explain why time flies and how to slow it down
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)(E同时涂黑AB， F同时涂黑CD， G 同时涂黑BC)
Today it is common to see people who walk about with colored wires hanging from their ears wherever they go. They move about in their personal bubbles，sometimes unaware of what’s happening around them. ____31____ Outside life is shut out. So are you one of “them”
For me, walking around in my own personal bubble is perfect. ____32____ What’s even better, wearing earphones seems to give a signal to people which says：“I'm not available for chatting at the moment.”
Suppose you’re at work and about to make an incredible breakthrough，but a colleague suddenly turns up. At this precise moment，the slightest disturbance would break your concentration. ____33____ Once again，those wires hanging from your ears would be sure to give that “Go away!” signal.
____34____ It’s probably part of the growing up stage when they just want to ignore their whole family. While their mothers give them lectures about why they should do their homework，they can just turn up the volume on their MP3 player, smile and say “Yes, Mum.” Problem solved.
Pretty soon，not only will we have pretty colored wires hanging from our ears，but also our brains will be directly plugged into some new high-tech instrument. We’ll be in a virtual world，communicating with everyone else，as we like. In this world，we will all be permanently plugged in. ____35____ And they are changing our social habits along the way.
In the end, there is a thin line between using technology as a tool for making life better and being a slave to it! It’s so strange—suddenly. I don’t feel like wearing my earphones anymore.
A. Our instruments are changing quickly.
B. I also have wires hanging from my ears.
C. In the home situation，teenagers love these wires.
D. I don’t have to deal with the noise from the environment.
E. After all，I am listening to my favourite music and would rather not be disturbed.
F. They walk around in their own spaces, with their personal “digital noise reduction systems”.
G. Listening to music through earphones is one of the perfect ways to ignore such interruptions.
