One of the advantages of social media is that we get to see aspects of people’s lives
that can be rather surprising. In fact, some of the videos that get shared remind us of the
many hidden— and not-so-hidden — talents that are out there.
Recently a video was shared of a construction worker taking a break and treating his
co-workers to a beautiful musical interlude (插曲) in their busy day. Archive Gould, a
painter working for a specialized painting company in Edmonton, was carrying out a job in
front of a library. Looking in the window, one of his workmates noticed there was a public
piano inside.
Gould explained to CTV News that his workmates were aware that he’d played the
piano for years, but he’d never been able to showcase his talents. Therefore on the first day
on site, Gould sat down in his paint-stained work clothes to play for his workmates.
“It was so heart melting. I love classical music to begin with. Seeing him playing
exceptionally well, I was totally touched,” his work mate, Kerrie Bates, shared her
reaction to Gould’s performance. As for Gould, he was also delighted to have the
opportunity to show his workmates that he was indeed able to play the piano.
The performance was shared online, where it notched up an impressive number of
views. And Gould came up with why he thought the video had become so popular, “I think
half the reason that the video blew up is that I look like a construction worker. No one
expects a construction worker to just demonstrate some classical music like it’s nothing.”
However, his performance is not just a lesson in looking beyond a person’s outward
appearance, It also reminds us that we should develop our talents gradually and enjoy them
as and when we can, While we might not all be able to become professional pianists or
singers, there’s so much joy to be had in having a passion and sharing it with others.
24. What role does social media play according to the first paragraph?
A. A platform for people to show talents.
B. A means of communication and expression.
高二英语 第 3 页 共 8 页C. A place for people to share common interest.
D. A tool to remind us of some important things.
25. How did Kerrie Bates react to Gould’s performance?
A. She considered it was incredible.
B. She thought it held lasting artistic values.
C. She found it was more accessible to workers.
D. She believed it deserved a great deal of fame.
26. What does the underlined phrase “notched up” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Reserved. B. Required. C. Convinced. D. Earned.
27. What does Gould’s story convey?
A. The early bird catches the worm. B. Never judge a book by its cover.
C. Actions speak louder than words. D. Nothing is difficult to a willing heart.
C
When visiting a doctor in the future, you can expect to be accompanied by a virtual
version of yourself. This so-called digital twin will be a working model of your body that
can be shown onto a physician’s computer screen. Updated with your latest vital signs, it
will help the doctor make an accurate diagnosis ( 诊 断 ) and provide personalized
treatments for the patients.
No matter how unreal this might seem, the researchers at Queen Mary University of
London (QMUL) already use computer simulations (模拟) of the hearts of patients to test
different treatments for a heart disorder. It would be far too dangerous to experiment this
way on someone’s real heart.
Digital twins are starting to be seen everywhere. They can not only monitor the
health of jet engines on airliners, but also help carmakers spend fewer years on the
development of new models by simulating test drives and crashes. All this is being
powered by recent progress in artificial intelligence (AI), which gives twins the ability to
make predictions about their physical counterparts (对应的事物), and adjust themselves
based on new information..
Digital twins make it easier for humans to solve challenging problems, allowing
people to have a look into the future. For businesses, this should mean better designs and
operations. For society, the promise is also fascinating: personalized health care, and ways
to prevent the earth from environmental disasters.
Could these virtual twins go out of control? They might if they are programmed
badly, or hacked into. Digital twins will take in mountains of data, some of it wrong and
much of it raising concerns about privacy. Yet those risks are a natural part of technological
progress. The appearance of the digital mirror world will raise new questions, but its
potential benefits are already easy to see.
28. Which of the following best describes a digital twin?
A. A virtual version. B. A video game.
C. A toy model. D. A medical database.
29. Why do researchers at QMUL use computer simulations of hearts?
A. To reduce the time of the heart operation.
B. To use real hearts much more conveniently.
C. To help increase the patients’ recovery rates.
D. To avoid the danger of experimenting on real hearts.
30. How does AI contribute to the development of digital twins?
A. It increases the efficiency of simulations through data analysis.
B. It creates accurate digital copies for medical and industrial use.
高二英语 第 4 页 共 8 页C. It enables digital twins to predict results and adapt on their own.
D. It improves virtual models by adding real-time monitoring features.
31. Which of the following is the most suitable title for the passage?
A. Digital Twins: A Potential Threat to Privacy
B. Digital Twins: The Future of Problem-Solving
C. Digital Twins: A New Age of Medical Treatment
D. Digital Twins: A Double-Edged Sword of Technology
D
Blue Planet II’s latest episode(一集) focuses on how plastic is having a disastrous
effect on the ocean and slowly poisoning our sea creatures. Researchers recently also found
that sea creatures living in the deepest place on Earth, the Mariana Trench, have plastic in
their stomachs. Indeed, the oceans are drowning in plastic.
Though it seems now that the world couldn’t possibly function without plastics,
consumer plastics are a remarkably recent invention. The first plastic bags were introduced
in the 1950s; the same decade that plastic packaging began gaining in popularity in the
United States. This growth has happened so fast that science is still catching up with the
change. Plastics pollution research, for instance, is still a very early science.
We put all these plastics into the environment and we still don’t really know what the
outcomes are going to be. What we do know, though, is disturbing. Ocean plastic is
estimated to kill millions of marine animals every year. Nearly 700 species, including
endangered ones, are known to have been affected by it. One in three leatherback turtles,
which often mistake plastic bags for jellyfish, have been found with plastic in their bellies.
Ninety percent of seabirds are now eating plastics on a regular basis. By 2050, that figure
is expected to rise to 100 percent.
And it’s not just wildlife that is threatened by the plastics in our seas. Humans are
consuming plastics through the seafood we eat. I could understand why some people see
ocean plastic as a disaster, worth mentioning to the same degree as climate change. But
ocean plastic is not as complicated as climate change. There are no ocean trash deniers (否
认者), at least so far. To do something about it, we don’t have to remake our planet energy
system.
This is not a problem where we don’t know what the solution is. We know how to pick
up garbage. Anyone can do it. We know how to dispose (处理) of it. We know how to
recycle. We can all start by thinking twice before we use single — use plastic products.
Things that may seem ordinary, like using a reusable bottle or a reusable bag — when
taken collectively, these choices really do make a difference.
32. What’s the function of the author mentioning Blue Planet II’s latest episode in the first
paragraph?
A. It serves as a comment. B. It serves as a lead-in.
C. It serves as a background. D. It serves as a conclusion.
33. Why is plastics pollution research still a very early science?
A. Plastics have gained in popularity too fast for science to catch up.
B. Plastics have produced less pollution than coal.
C. The world couldn’t possibly function without plastics.
D. The plastics pollution research is too difficult.
34. How did the author support his opinion in Paragraph 3?
A. By using examples from his own experience.
高二英语 第 5 页 共 8 页B. By quotations from leading experts.
C. By figures.
D. By comparison and contrast.
35. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Ocean plastic is a global issue.
B. Plastics gain in popularity all over the world.
C. Blue Planet II has left viewers heartbroken.
D. The oceans become threatened with plastic.
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。
We all have relationships. We have relatives, classmates, neighbors and probably
some friends. 36 They are unsatisfying because they lack real strength, and they
lack real strength because they lack real depth. I’d like to show you how to build stronger
relationships and make your social life a lot more meaningful.
Meet more people.
You go out a lot, you meet a lot of new people and you keep widening your social
circle. Thus, you’re much more likely to meet people you match up well with. 37
Talk about the things that matter to you.
3 8 If they believe and care about the same things, they’ll eagerly let you
know. So you’ll find common ground and you’ll feel more connected.
39
Many people try to come off as perfect. However, by hiding your imperfections, what
you do succeed in is appearing cold. Humans connect with other humans; not with
ideals(完美的人). Keep this in mind. Don’t be afraid to let your weakness and your
humanity show. This is what takes a relationship to the next level.
Be there for others.
Connections between people grow stronger, if they can depend on each other for
support when it’s needed. 40 Your support will help them practically, and it will
comfort them spiritually.
A. Be more confident.
B. Don’t care whether it means a few kind words or several great actions.
C. Tell people what you experienced and give others a chance to know what you care
about and what you believe in.
D. But it’s hard for everyone to connect with you.
E. Express weakness.
F. These people can probably become your good friends, reliable partners, etc.
G. However, for a large percentage of us, many of these relationships are simply not
satisfying.

It’s reported 56 about 10% of the global population do not have clean water.
The water crisis has serious effects on people’s health, education, and financial situation
and on the peace of their community.
Water 57 (use) to keep clean and keeping clean is the key to good health.
For example, a simple cut(伤口)to a child’s leg can be treated 58 washing it, to
avoid infections. Without clean water, that simple cut can become a serious medical
condition.
Children who spend a lot of time collecting water are less likely 59 (attend)
full time education. Chances are that those students aren’t able to study to the level
60 (require) to go to college or university. The problem is 61 (particular) bad
for girls, who tend to be the family’s members 62 (walk) a long way to collect
water.
Low standards of education make 63 much more difficult for people to get
jobs that are both well-paid and safe. If there is no money from employment, it’s difficult
for communities to develop their water supply and sanitation (卫生).
Water is often a source of argument and even wars. 64 stability of a whole
region or even a country can be in danger because of a shortage of clean water. To decrease
the influence of the water crisis, the United Nations has a Sustainable Development Goal

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短
文。
Every time we went to Lehman’s store, I would rush straight to the same shelf. There
it was: a brown little guy with a large nose that fit perfectly over my shoulder. I hugged the
brown stuffed aardvark (土豚) doll tightly and whispered, “Hi, Artie.”
Last week, my mother finally noticed. “Why do you always disappear?” she asked at
checkout. “Next time, your brother is going with you.”
Oh, no! My brother, Rich, was going to accompany me into the store. He would
watch me and report everything to our mother.
Anyway, I wasn’t going to give up seeing my precious Artie. So, when Rich and I
walked into the store together, I advised him to get the daily groceries, since he was older.
He agreed but said I shouldn’t go off to look at the cosmetics (化妆品), as I wasn’t allowed
to wear them yet.
He needn’t have worried about that; I was already heading toward Artie. There it
was, awaiting me. I grabbed it and hugged it tightly. Just then, I heard my brother: “What
in the world are you doing?”
“This is Artie,” I said. “I hug it every single time I come here. Don’t tell Mom. I
know we can’t afford it, and I hope it doesn’t get sold, because I just love this little guy.”
The look on Rich’s face was unreadable, but I knew deep down that he wasn’t going
to make fun of me. In fact, a few times when he accompanied me to the store, he said, “Go
on and hug your ugly animal, if it’s still there, and I’ll get the groceries.”
One day before Thanksgiving Day, Rich was working with Dad somewhere, so Mom
took me to Lehman’s but waited outside. “You go in by yourself,” she said. “My legs are
tired today. Just don’t take forever, okay?”
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I rushed straight to Artie’s shelf, but it was gone.
On Thanksgiving Day, as we were allowed to open one present, Rich walked up.
