【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“On September11th.1958.Mum gave birth to Richard...she put him in my lap, saying."I promised you a gift, and here it is."”可知，1958年9月11日，妈妈生下了理查德……她把他放在我膝上，说：“我答应给你一份礼物，就在这儿。所以作者在1958年9月11日有了一个弟弟。故选A项。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据“Mum and Dad whispering such words as "hopeless", "pitiful", and "dying"”可知，作者听到爸爸妈妈小声地提到了“不抱希望的”、“可怜的”、“临死的”等字眼，这让作者有一种不详的预感，作者担心弟弟Richard会出事。所以通过上下文的语境可以判断出，第3段中带下划线的"ominous"一词可能是fearful“令人恐惧的”的意思。故选D项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“ As he spoke, his eyes filled with tears.I'd never seen him cry before.”可知，作者的父亲一边说着，眼里充满了泪水。作者以前从未见过父亲哭过。所以通过关键词“filled with tears”可以判断出父亲因为Richard的病情而变得很难过。故选C项。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“One of my wonderful memories is about a Christmas gift.”可知，文章讲的是作者的一段精彩的记忆，这段记忆是关于他的弟弟Richard的，再根据“a Christmas gift. Unlike other gifts”可知，短文主要讲的是一份特别的礼物。故选C项。

【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“The project results from the difficulties many schools have in getting artists of any sort - whether an up-and-coming local musician or a major movie star - into schools to work with and inspire children.（许多学校很难让任何类型艺术家——无论是当地崭露头角的音乐家还是主要的电影明星——进入学校，与孩子们一起工作并激励他们，因此才有了这个项目。）”可知，Craig-Martin认为，英国学校的艺术教学尤其困难。故选A。

七选五）【答案】36-40. B C F E G
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在晚宴上让自己表现得有趣的一些方法。
36.根据上文“it’s not difficult to make yourself interesting at a dinner party (在晚宴上让自己变得有趣并不难)”可知，下文应主要讲述如何在晚宴上让自己变得有趣。下文“So the main thing is just to show up and be adventurous, trying different foods and talking to strangers. (所以最主要的事情就是去尝试，去冒险，尝试不同的食物，和陌生人交谈)”可推知，本段主要说明想在晚宴上让自己变得有趣，就要勇于冒险，勇于探索。由此可知，B项“The first step is to go exploring(第一步是去探索)”承上启下，符合题意。故选B项。
37.根据下文“it can bring in “I have this old, broken-down vehicle” or “I rode the bus with these crazy people who were laughing at silly jokes in the back.” It just opens up conversation. (它可以带入“我有这辆破旧的车”或“我和那些在后面嘲笑愚蠢笑话的疯子一起乘坐公共汽车。”它只是打开了对话)”可知，设空处应该是提了一个不太好的问题，只是开始交流，但并不会给人留下有趣的印象。由此可知，C项“If you ask the question “How did you get here ”(如果你问“你是怎么到这里来的？”这个问题)”能够承接下文，符合题意。故选C项。
38.根据下文“If you can’t take their wine away, you should certainly try to take away their soapbox. If you’re the host, you can ask them to help you in the kitchen with something and just remove them from the situation. (如果你不能拿走他们的酒，你当然应该让他们离开讲话的地方。如果你是主人，你可以让他们到厨房帮你做点什么，只是为了让他们摆脱那种情景)”可知，此处指出了一个问题的解决办法。由此推知，设空处提到了一个棘手的问题。F项“What about the person who has had too much to drink or won’t stop talking(喝太多酒或一直说个不停的人怎么办)”正是提出的问题，引出下文的解决办法，符合题意。故选F项。
39.根据上文“If you can’t take their wine away, you should certainly try to take away their soapbox (讲台). If you’re the host, you can ask them to help you in the kitchen with something and just remove them from the situation. (如果你不能拿走他们的酒，你当然应该让他们离开讲话的地方。如果你是主人，你可以让他们到厨房帮你做点什么，只是为了让他们摆脱那种情景)”可知，本段主要是为解决“喝太多酒或一直说个不停”这个问题提供方法。由此可知，E项“Or turn the conversation into a topic where they have little to say(或者把谈话变成他们没什么可说的话题)”是提出的另一个解决办法，承接上文，符合题意。故选E项。
40.根据上文“If you’re faced with an awkward silence at a dinner party, the only thing that always gets everyone talking again is to give the host a compliment.(如果你在晚宴上遭遇了尴尬的沉默，唯一能让大家再次交谈的方法就是赞美主人)”可知，此处指出赞美主人可以缓解尴尬的沉默，设空处承上启下，下文“This cake is extremely delicious and you have to tell me all about it.(这蛋糕特别好吃，你得告诉我它的一切)”对主人进行了赞美。由此可知，宴会上出现尴尬的沉默时，最尴尬的就是主人，所以需要赞美主人来缓解尴尬。G项“He or she is the person who is feeling the weight of that awkwardness the most(他或她是最能感受到那种尴尬的人)”承上启下，符合题意。故选G项
完形填空：41-45 BBAAD; 46-50 AACBA; 51-55 DBDCC
语法填空:参考答案：
56.have graduated 考查时态。时间状语For the past 13 years意为“近13年来”，表示从过去开始持续到现在，符合现在完成时用法，故填现在完成时。

61.that/which考查定语从句。还原定语从句，则为The campaigns helped some 16 million females become educated. 因先行词为campaigns，指事物，所以用that/which引导定语从句，指代先行词campaigns，并在从句中作主语。
62.improving考查非谓语。与wiping out并列作主语，都用ing形式。
63.highest考查比较等级。句意：近几十年来，扫盲和提高妇女的阅读能力被视为中国政府帮助妇女的最高优先事项(the highest priorities)之一。

参考范文
【参考范文】
When Susan arrived there later,she looked at the children in surprise. They were playing with what Susan considered boring happily.Seeing this,Susan understood that although there was no yo yo,they could also enjoy themselves.Jim asked her to join them in playing together instantly he saw Su- san.It was at that moment that Susan realized she had focused too much on what she didn't have but ignored what she had.
That night after the guests left,Susan sat alone in her room.On her bed was the purple dress given to her as a birth day gift.She thought to herself,“It seems that the dress doesn't look that bad.Actually,I like all the clothes Mom bought for me."She was sorry for having shouted at her moth er.So she ran to Mom's room and apologized,“Sorry,Mom.l should be satisfied with what I own.”Hearing the words,her mother hugged her tightly,touched by Susan's change.
[点评】 续写部分情节合理，语言流畅。第一段描述了孩子们玩得很开心，与原文最后一段中的 there is nothing interest ing to play 形成强烈对比，呼应开头语中的 in surprise,并为后文 Susan有新的认知做铺垫。其中 she had focused too much on what she didn't have but ignored what she had 与原文描述的 Susan固执地想要悠悠球以及第三段中的I don't think there is anything interesting to play in the house 呼应。第二段继续点题，描述妈妈送的紫色裙子，也是Susan 所拥有的东西之一，通过描述 Susan 的心理变化过程，并展现 Susan 向妈妈吐露心声的一幕，突显了文章的主题
本文恰当运用了诸如 think to oneself,join sb in doing sth 等短语，以及时间状语从句(instantly he saw Susan)、强调句和多重宾语从句的复合句式(It was at that moment that Susan realized she had focused too much on what she didn't have but ignored what she had.)与倒装句(On her bed was the purple dress given to her as a birthday gift.)等句式，使画面跃然纸上，实现了故事情节的多样化表达。湛江市第 21中学 2021-2022 学年高三英语 11月月考试卷

It was an extremely cold winter's evening and freezing fog hung in the air. I climbed
Mike Shepherd (2011) to the top of a small rise and realised that the mist was little more than a few feet deep,
Skiddaw in Winter and though it was only a short climb, I found myself completely above it and looking at
Cumbria, England a wonderfully clear view of Skiddaw with the sum setting in the west. I used classical
techniques, translated from my college days spent in the darkroom into Photoshop, to
achieve the black-and-white image (图像).
I was back in my home town of Macclesfield to take some winter images. Walking
Timothy Smith (2014) up a path through the forest towards Shutlingsloe, a local high point, I came across a
Macclesfield Forest small clearing and immediately noticed the dead yellow grasses set against the fresh
Cheshire, England snow. The small pine added to the interest and I placed it centrally to take the view
from the foreground right through into the forest.

One of my wonderful memories is about a Christmas gift. Unlike other gifts, it came without wrap(包装).On
September11th ,1958, Mum gave birth to Richard. After she brought him home from hospital, she put him in my
lap, saying, "I promised you a gift, and here it is." What an honor! I turned four a month earlier and none of my
friends had such a baby doll of their own. I played with it day and night. I sang to it. I told it stories. I told it over
and over how much I loved it!
One morning, however, I found its bed empty. My doll was gone! I cried for it. Mum wept and told me that the
poor little thing had been sent to a hospital. It had a fever for several days, I heard Mum and Dad whispering such
words as "hopeless", "pitiful", and "dying", which sounded ominous.
Christmas was coming. "Don’t expect any presents this year. " Dad said, pointing at the socks I hung in the
living room."If your baby brother lives, that'll be Christmas enough." As he spoke, his eyes filled with tears. I'd
never seen him cry before.
The phone rang early on Christmas morning. Dad jumped out of bed to answer it. From my bedroom I heard
him say. "What He's all right " He hung up and shouted upstairs." The hospital said we can bring Richard
home!" "Thank God.'" I heard Mum cry.
From the upstairs window, I watched my parents rush out to the car. I had never seen them happy. And I was
also full of joy. What a wonderful day! My baby doll would be home. I ran downstairs. My socks still hung there
flat. But I knew they were not empty; they were filled with love!

A British woman who won a $1 million prize after she was named the World's Best Teacher will use the cash
to bring inspirational figures into UK schools.
Andria Zafirakou, a north London secondary school teacher, said she wanted to bring about a classroom
revolution (变革). “We are going to make a change, ”she said. “I’ve started a project to promote the teaching of
the arts in our schools.”
The project results from the difficulties many schools have in getting artists of any sort - whether an
up-and-coming local musician or a major movie star - into schools to work with and inspire children.
Zafirakou began the project at Alperton Community School, her place of work for the past twelve years. “I've
湛江市第 21中 11月月考英语试卷 第 2 页 共 8页
seen those magic moments when children are talking to someone they are inspired by - their eyes are shining and
their faces light up,” she said. “We need artists, more than ever in our schools."
Artist Michael Craig-Martin said,“Andria's brilliant project to bring artists from all fields into direct contact
with children is particularly welcome at a time when the arts are being downgraded in schools." It was a mistake
to see the arts as unnecessary, he added.
Historian Sir Simon Schama is also a supporter of the project. He said that arts education in schools was not
just an add-on. “It is absolutely necessary. The future depends on creativity and creativity depends on the young.
What will remain of us when artificial intelligence takes over will be our creativity, and it is our creative spirit, our
visionary sense of freshness, that has been our strength for centuries."
28. What will Zafirakou do with her prize money
A. Make a movie. B. Build new schools.
C. Run a project. D. Help local musicians.
29. What does Craig-Martin think of the teaching of the arts in UK schools
A. It is particularly difficult. B. It increases artists' income.
C. It opens children's mind. D. It deserves greater attention.
30. What should be stressed in school education according to Schama
A. Moral principles. B. Interpersonal skills.
C. Creative abilities. D. Positive worldviews.
31. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. Bring Artists to Schools B. When Historians Meet Artists
C. Arts Education in Britain D. The World's Best Arts Teacher
D
An Australian professor is developing a robot to monitor the health of grazing cattle, a development that
could bring big changes to a profession that's relied largely on a low-tech approach for decades but is facing a
labor shortage.
Salah Sukkarieh, a professor at the University of Sydney, sees robots as necessary given how cattlemen are
aging. He is building a four-wheeled robot that will run on solar and electric power. It will use cameras and
sensors to monitor the animals. A computer system will analyze the video to determine whether a cow is sick.
Radio tags (标签) on the animals will measure temperature changes. The quality of grassland will be tracked by
monitoring the shape, color and texture (质地 ) of grass. That way, cattlemen will know whether they need to
move their cattle to another field for nutrition purposes.
Machines have largely taken over planting, watering and harvesting crops such as corn and wheat, but the
monitoring of cattle has gone through fewer changes.
For Texas cattleman Pete Bonds, it's increasingly difficult to find workers interested in watching cattle. But
Bonds doesn't believe a robot is right for the job. Years of experience in the industry - and failed attempts to use
technology - have convinced him that the best way to check cattle is with a man on a horse. Bonds, who bought
his first cattle almost 50 years ago, still has each of his cowboys inspect 300 or 400 cattle daily and look for signs
that an animal is getting sick.

Other cattlemen see more promise in robots. Michael Kelsey Paris, vice president of the Oklahoma Cattlemen's
Association, said a robot could be extremely useful given rising concerns about cattle theft. Cattle tend to be kept
in remote places and their value has risen, making them appealing targets.
32. What is a problem with the cattle-raising industry
A. Soil pollution. B. Lack of workers.
C. Aging machines. D. Low profitability.
33. What will Sukkarieh's robot be able to do
A. Monitor the quality of grass. B. Cure the diseased cattle.
C. Move cattle to another field. D. Predict weather changes.
34. Why does Pete Bonds still hire cowboys to watch cattle
A. He wants to help them earn a living. B. He thinks men can do the job better.
C. He is inexperienced in using robots. D. He enjoys the traditional way of life.
35. How may robots help with cattle watching according to Michael Kelsey
A. Increase the value of cattle. B. Bring down the cost of labor.
C. Make the job more appealing. D. Keep cattle from being stolen.

It was Susan's 12th birthday. She had been expecting to receive a yo-yo(悠悠球 )from her parents as her
birthday gift for several months. However, she received a purple dress instead, which made her really
disappointed.
“I only want a yo yo as my birthday present. I don't want the dress and I hate purple,”Susan shouted at her
mother when she saw the dress.“Even a five- year- old child has a yo- yo. Do you know why others don't want to
be my friends It is all because 1 don't have a yo-yo. It is so boring to live in this house,”Susan said angrily.
Her mother ignored her complaints and changed the topic, saying,“Uncle Brown, Uncle Smith, Aunt Aniston
and their children are coming for dinner to night. So, you can play with your cousins.”“But I don't think there is
anything interesting to play in the house,”Susan complained again.
The guests arrived at 6:00 p.m. Susan guided the four children who came with the adults to her room.“Do
you have any interesting toys Susan...”asked Jim, one of the children. Susan felt that Jim was asking for a yo-yo.
She felt embarrassed and brought out her snakes and ladders(蛇梯棋). All the children played the game together.
Everyone enjoyed playing the game except Susan. After a little while, her cousin Sara asked,“Susan,can we go
downstairs to the basement ” Susan said,“No, there is nothing interesting to play in it." Ignoring Susan's words,
the children raced to the basement excitedly. They found there were some empty cartons, ropes, old broken toys.
Upon seeing this, Sara came up with an idea-the memory game. She arranged a few things on the floor and closed
her eyes. Then Jim took away an object randomly and Sara should guess what the missing object was.
注意:续写词数应为 150 左右。
Paragraph1:
When Susan arrived there later, she looked at the children in surprise.
