第二部分 阅读
第一节
21.B。 根据第三段中的“It brings a cast of over sixty actors delivering their characteristic performance.Together,they reflected
the changes in the then Chinese society through the Yutai Teahouse[它(《茶馆》)汇集了六十多个演员献上有特色的表演。他
们一起通过裕泰茶馆折射了当时中国社会的变化]”可知，观众可以欣赏到有特色的集体表演。故选B。
22.C。 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Teahouse is a must-see for everyone interested in contemporary Chinese literature,and
anyone interested in catching a glimpse of the remarkable changes in modern China(对所有对中国当代文学感兴趣的人和任何
有兴趣一睹现代中国发生巨大变化的人来说，《茶馆》都是必看的戏剧)”可知，最适合观看这部戏的人是“China enthusiasts”,
即
对中国感兴趣的人。故选C。
23.B。 细节理解题。根据第五段“Tickets are now available to purchase for the price of just $100 apicce(每人)at the booking
office.You will enjoy a 5%discount off the price if you purchase through our website or app.For our local theatergoers who
have bought our yearly plan,an extra 5%discount will also come your way.(现在可以在售票处以每张100美元的价格购买
门 票。如果您通过我们的网站或应用程序购买，您将享受5%的折扣。对于购买了我们年度计划的本地戏迷，您还可以享受
额外 5%的折扣。)”可知， 一个外地游客在线上购买门票，应该是只享受5%的折扣，即100×95%×2=190(美元)。故选
B。
24.C。 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“…where I was going to negotiate a book project.”可知，作者此行去韩国是要去协商一个
图 书项目。
25.B。 细节理解题。根据第二段倒数第二句“It was starting:family obligations seized my work time.”可知，家庭责任会占据作
者 的工作时间。
26.B。 细节理解题。根据第三段母亲对作者所说的话“Your dad has always been counting the days for the moment when he
can show her how well you grew up.” 可知，父亲一直都盼望着能带作者去奶奶的坟墓，向奶奶展现作者的成长。
27.D。 推理判断题。根据最后一段第二、三句“I realized how I was intertwined with them,and they were interwoven into
me. We don't belong to languages or countries.”可知，作者通过拜访奶奶的墓地，意识到了他与父母之间的联结，即人与人之
间的 联系(connection) 。 最后一段最后一句“I hope she knows that we did take her,and that maybe all we have is each
other.”也 表现出虽然奶奶没有一同移民加拿大，但仍然心中有彼此。所以作者的感悟可以总结为D 项。
28.C。 根据第一段中的“Our desire for meat…is one reason why the planet is warming as fast as it is.”及“And to grow the corn,
so y,and other plants tha t those animals eat,farmers spray fertilizer that emits nitrous oxide(一氧化二氮),another planet
warming gas.”可知，我们对肉的需求是地球变暖速度如此之快的原因之一。为了种植这些动物吃的玉米、大豆和其他植物，农
民喷洒肥料，释放出另一种使地球变暖的气体——一氧化二氮。人类对于肉的大量需求是造成全球变暖的一个原因。
学学科科网网（（北北京京））股股份份有有限限公公司司29.B。 根据第二段中的“Such a quick shift probably wouldn't cause the sort of turmoil that would come if the planet immediately
abandoned fossil fuels.But still,the consequence could be quite chaotic,causing different problems."尤其是“But still”的逻辑
关系可推出，立刻摒弃肉食也许并不会像立即放弃化石燃料一样引起动荡。但是其后果依然混乱，会造成不同的问题。
30.D。 根据文章第三段可知，立刻摒弃肉食会引起经济衰退，造成人类营养不良，危害食品安全，甚至损坏文化。A、B、C 选项内
容 均不符合。
31.B。 根据文章最后一段中的“Dutkiewicz,a political economist at the Pratt Institute,suggested using guidelines established
by the EAT-Lancet Commission,an international group of scientists who have designed a diet intended to give people
the nutrients they need without destroying the planet.”可知，普拉特研究所(Pratt Institute) 的政治经济学家杜特凯
维奇 (Dutkiewicz) 建议使用EAT-柳叶刀委员会(EAT-Lancet Commission)制定的指导方针，该委员会是一个国际科学家小
组，他们 设计了一种饮食，旨在为人们提供所需的营养，而不会破坏地球。后续应该进一步阐述此饮食结构。
32.D。 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The staircase encourages exercise and the concept helps cut down on energy use.”可知，
设 计师对该栋建筑中楼梯的设计，是出于鼓励锻炼和减少能源消耗的目的。因此D 选项符合。C 项属于干扰项，“隐藏电
梯”是手 段，并不是目的。故选D。
33.A。 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“It has eyes,ears,a nervous system and a brain and it responds to its environment in a way
英 语 试 题 参 考 答 案 第 1 页
学学科科网网（（北北京京））股股份份有有限限公公司司that seeks to optimize(优化)things(它有眼睛、耳朵、神经系统和大脑，并以一种寻求优化事物的方式对环境做出反应)”可
知， 该栋建筑(即 Bullitt Center)就仿佛是一个活的有机体一样。故选 A。
34.C。 推理判断题。首先需要定位Chris Rogers的观点是来自第四段和第六段，第五段是属于作者的观点，因此可以排除D 选
项 (该栋建筑代表着进步的力量);其次基于第六段中的“If this building isn't reproducible,then this experiment will have
failed (如果这栋大楼不能被复制，则此实验将失败)”,以及“But if it is successful,he's optimistic others will follow the
foundation's lead. [但如果成功，他(Chris Rogers)乐观地认为其他人会效仿基金会的做法(从而也修建类似的环保大楼)。]”可
知，该栋环保 建筑的复制推广是至关重要的。故选 C。
35.D。 主旨大意题。基于全文可知，本文主要是先介绍了西雅图一栋超级环保的新建筑的相关特色，从而提出潜在的质疑和探
讨 未来类似环保建筑的发展前景。D 项最具概括性，可以统摄全文。C 选项是干扰项，本文并没有谈要如何建设更多的环
保建 筑。故选 D。
第二节
36.E。 本段空前提出， 一个研究发现，呼吸与冥想对于情绪和焦虑的好处是相似的，空后由“breathing exercises may be a
more 'effective and powerful'mental health tool than meditation”,呼吸的效果甚至更好，可知E 项是承上启下的衔接句，因
此选择 E 项。
37.F。 本段后文内容说明的是具体的研究发现，前句应该说明研究的过程，之后才能得出后文的研究发现。同时 F 项中的“mood
and vital signs”也呼应本段中的“mental and physiological health”,因此选择 F 项。
38.A。 空前提出，本研究测试了三种不同的呼吸策略，空后的段落内容论述了“cyclic sighing”要比另外两种呼吸策略(box
breathing,cyclic hyperventilation)带来的改善效果更好，因此选择A 项。
39.D。 本段前文论述了为什么“cyclic sighing”对于身心的放松作用更好。分析段落结构可知，本段已经提到了两种呼吸策略的
特 点(本研究总共提出了三种策略),那么此空应该介绍第三种呼吸策略，因此选择D 项。
40.B。 空前句“As humans,we never fully have control over our bodies”提到，我们人类从未完全控制我们的身体，B 项“这个事
实 不应该被我们忽视”,承接下文，引出“我们还可以做些什么”,因此选择B 项。
第三部分 语言运用
第一节
41.C。 句意：大卫出生在一个贫寒的家庭，为了维持收支平衡，他不得不努力工作(struggle) 。 答案从后文第四段第二句中
的“but he struggled on”可得到验证。
42.D。 句意：然而，他决心超越自己的处境(circumstance),成就伟业。
43.B。 句意：当大卫在高中时，他面临来自同学的欺凌，这让他有挫败感(defeated)。
44.B。 句意：但他没有向消极情绪屈服，而是选择将这种情况视为成长(growth) 的机会。答案从原文最后一段提到的 growth
and success 可知。
45.D。 句意：他坚持(persevered) 度过了艰难的时期，并找到了克服困难的力量。答案从原文标题提到的 Perseverance 可
知。 46.C。 句意：然而，他在商界既没有钱，也没有人脉(connection)。
47.A。 句意：大卫开始(launched) 他的第一个商业项目时，他口袋里只有几百美元。launched 此处意为
started。 48.B。 句意：慢慢地但毫无疑问地(surely), 他的生意开始蒸蒸日上。
49.C。 句意同上。take off 起飞；突然成功；脱去(衣服等)。
50.C。 句意：随着时间的推移，他的公司发展(developed) 成为一个价值数百万美元的企业。developed 与原文最后一段提到的
growth 有照应关系。
51.A。 句意：他的毅力(willpower) 和努力得到了回报。willpower 的近义词是 perseverance, 可从标题得知。
52.D。 句意：大卫认识到，艰难的环境不是障碍(roadblock), 而是一种强大的动力，可以激励我们取得伟大的成就。从构词法
可 知，roadblock 为合成词，意为“路障”,相当于“障碍，阻碍物”,与后面提到的“推动力”(driving force)形成对比。
53.B。 句意同上。根据空前的 driving force 的提示可知，此空处应填 drive的近义词，如
motivate,encourage,spur,propel, inspire 等 。
54.A。 句意：大卫的经历(journey) 告诉我们，我们都有潜力把困难转化为成长和成功的机会。本题考查一词多义。journey 旅
行， 旅程；历程，过程。答案的替换词可以是 experience 或 story 等。
55.D。 句意同上。通过分析全文可知，我们都有潜力(potential) 把困难转化为成长和成功的机会，而这正是这篇文章作者的写
作 目的所在。
第二节
56.its 。 考查代词。尽管历史跌宕起伏，中国古老文明一直延续至今。
57.beginning 。 考查名词。
学学科科网网（（北北京京））股股份份有有限限公公司司58.were carved。考查时态和语态。它可以追溯到数千年前使用龙骨的时期——古代中国人在动物骨头和壳上面刻画符号。
59.had become。考查时态。by+ 过去时间，主句用过去完成时。到商朝时，这些符号已经演变成一套完善的书写体系。
60.geographically 。 考查副词。在随后的年代里，这一体系发展成了不同的形式，这是由于当时中国人居住地域的分隔，从而导
致 不同的方言和汉字变体的产生。
61.the。 考查冠词。当朝代是独一无二、特别强调或与特定事件、地点或人物相关时，通常需要加“the”。然而，这在秦朝秦始皇
统 治时期发生了变化。
62.united。考查非谓语。秦始皇统一七大诸侯国后，在这个统一的国家里，汉字书写体系开始朝着一个方向发展。
63.what/whatever 。 考查从句。此处考查“no matter+特殊疑问词”构成的复合结构引导让步状语从句，意思是“今天，不管住在
哪 里，也不管说何种方言，中国人都仍能通过书写(文字)进行交流。”此空也可理解为是 whatever 引导的让步状语从句。
64.by。 考查从句。我们把定语从句的语序稍作调整，可以完整地写成 China's present is connected with its past by the means。
汉 字也成为连接中国现在与过去的一个重要手段。
65.known 。 考查非谓语。中国人对其书写体系推崇备至，这体现在汉字发展为一种艺术形式——被称作书法。

范文一
What do you want to do most with AI?
What I want to do most with AI is to tackle the issue of climate change.
The situation with climate change is more than serious,and I believe that AI holds a significant potential to make a
difference.By leveraging the power of big data,AI can detect changes in climate conditions in real time and provide critical
feedback.Thus,this could enable us to implement more effective strategies for mitigation and adaptation,ultimately helping us to
protect our planet for future generations.
Hopefully,the capacity of AI to process vast amounts of data quickly and accurately makes it an invaluable tool in our fight
against climate change.
范文二
What do you want to do most with AI?
We have entered a world where everyone is expected to engage with AI.As a high school student,what I want to do
most with AI is to use it to facilitate my learning process in various subjects.
Firstly,AI in essence is a database of huge amounts of information.Simply type in a prompt and I can develop creative
writing skills from there.Besides,the accuracy rate of AI is far from perfect,which leaves room for further exploration.In other
words,I can assess the AI-generated results through self-reflection and peer discussion.
Whether you like it or not,AI is here to stay.We should learn not to be dependent on AI,but rather to use it to our
advantage

【参考范文】
范文一
Upon arriving home,I told my grandpa what had happened.A look of anxiety flashed across his face,his eyebrows knitted
into a deep frown.I could see him struggling with the decision,knowing how much the jacket meant to me but also aware of our
financial limitations.After a long silence,he said in a firm voice,“Martha,it's not just a jacket;it's a symbol of your hard
work.”He reached into an old tin can he kept hidden under his bed,pulling out a few crumpled bills and some coins."Take this,"
he placed the money in my hand."You deserve that jacket more than anyone."
The next day,the principal called me to his office.As I entered,I noticed his expression,a mixture of guilt and
embarrassment.“Martha,”he began,“I need to apologize.”He paused,looking down at his desk before continuing,"Your
history teacher,Mr.Frank,made a convincing argument about the unfairness of the situation.The Board agreed;the jacket
should be awarded based on one's academic performance,not on one's ability to pay."Relief and joy washed over me.My hard
work hadn't been in vain,and my grandfather's sacrifice wasn't needed.The scholarship jacket was truly mine,a symbol of my
perseverance and the unyielding support of my family.
范文二
Upon arriving home,I told my grandpa what had happened.He cleared his throat and asked seriously,"What does a
scholarship jacket mean?”I told him the symbolic value of the jacket and emphasized how much it meant to me,almost with a
begging tone.However,Grandpa wasn't sold and instead replied with a firm no.“Then if you pay for it,Martha,it's not a
scholarship jacket,is it?Tell your principal I will not pay the fifteen dollars.”Disappointed and frustrated,I rushed to my
bedroom and locked myself sobbing for a long time.
The next day,the principal called me to his office.I told him Grandfather was not willing to pay,"He said if I had to pay for
it,it wouldn't be a scholarship jacket.I guess you'll just have to give it to Joann."I could feel my heart pounding wildly and
something bitter coming up in my mouth.He sighed loudly and watched me,biting his lip.“Okay.We'll make an exception in
your case.I'll tell the Board;you'll get your jacket."I could hardly believe my ears."Thank you,sir!"I dashed back home to tell
Grandpa the good news.He somehow didn't seem much surprised;he just gave me a pat on the shoulder and a smile,"Now that's
a worthy scholarship jacket.”
评分标准
本文讲述了“我”在发生小插曲之后，如愿获得 scholarship jacket 的故事。
续写第一段：根据第一段提示语可知“我”一回到家，就告诉祖父学校发生的事情。此段可具体写祖父听到学校发生的事之后的反
应，内心的思想斗争以及祖父和“我”作出的决定。在家里特别穷的情况下，祖父是否支持“我”付 15美元获得 scholarship
jacket。 祖父听到“我”说的情况后，内心肯定会进行思想斗争，付还是不付，付呢，家里穷，之前从来没有给“我”买过运动服，不付
呢，“我”可 能得不到scholarship jacket,代表“我”8年的刻苦努力没有得到认可。
续写第二段：根据第二段提示语可知第二天，校长把“我”叫到他的办公室。这一段应描写事情的经过以及事情的结果，“我”是否得
到了scholarship jacket。思路一：校长如果坚持之前的说法，那“我”就得付15美元。如果没付钱的话，校长是如何改变想法的。
根 据上文，历史老师和校长进行过激烈地争辩，是正义的代表，所以可以写是历史老师让校长改变了想法，“我”多年的努力没有
白费， 最终获得认可。思路二：可以写通过祖父或“我”的据理力争，为“我”争得了该荣誉。
扣分标准
情节设计(写作内容)方面：
学学科科网网（（北北京京））股股份份有有限限公公司司1. 如果第一段没有写“我”跟祖父商量及商量的结果，要降低一到二个档次(扣5～10分)。
2. 如果第二段没有写校长改变了态度，“我”得到了scholarship jacket,要降低一到二个档次(扣5～10分)。最好要写到让校长
改变 态度的原因。
语言使用(修辞润色)方面：
1. 逻辑不通、语病较多、词汇贫乏应酌情扣5～10分。
2. 词数不足120的，扣2分；对词数没有上限，即超词不扣分。

The old belief that foods rich in fat are bad for your health has come into question.The Atkins diet,a popular eating plan
developed by Robert Atkins,says the real reason for making people fat is carbs,the substances that provide your body with heat
and energy.
The Atkins diet has several stages of weight loss and maintenance,starting with a low-carb eating plan.It doesn't require you
to control the amount of food you have each meal.It holds that eating too many carbs,especially sugar,leads to blood sugar
imbalances,weight gain and other problems.The main dietary focus of the Atkins diet is keeping the balance between carbs,
protein and fats for weight loss and health.So you don't need to avoid fatty cuts of meat—rather controlling carbs is what's
important.
Significantly,cutting carbs sharply in the carly stage can result in some side effects like headaches and weakness.You'd better
consult your doctor before starting the diet.People who suffer from ill health should not follow the diet,and this diet is also not
suitable for women who are pregnant or breast-feeding.
