【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据Bibimbap Festival下第一段中的 their “mixed rice” dish is a hearty serve of rice topped with raw beef, a rainbow of vegetables, a raw egg and gochujang sauce “他们的“什锦饭”是一道丰盛的米饭,上面放着生牛肉、彩虹蔬菜、生鸡蛋和辣椒酱” 可知Bibimbap 是米饭混合各种蔬菜而成的,分析选项可知D符合题意,故选D。
【22题详解】

【23题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知,四个最疯狂的美食节分别发生在Bibimbap Festival是在韩国、Waikiki Spam Jam在美国、Bessieres Easter Egg Festival在法国、Potato Days Festival在美国。分析选项可知,韩国是属于亚洲的,故想了解亚洲饮食文化,要去韩国的Bibimbap Festival,故A为正确答案。
【点睛】文章主题和中心思想的阐述往往需要大量细节信息的支持,这些细节对于理解全文内容至关重要,同时也是归纳和概括文章中心思想的基础。命题人往往会要求考生根据不同的要求阅读文章,以获得某些特定的信息,或准确地寻求所需的细节,并对细节进行直接或间接辨认和理解。如第1小题就属于细节理解题中较为简单的细节辨认。根据Bibimbap Festival下第一段中的 their “mixed rice” dish is a hearty serve of rice topped with raw beef, a rainbow of vegetables, a raw egg and gochujang sauce “他们的“什锦饭”是一道丰盛的米饭,上面放着生牛肉、彩虹蔬菜、生鸡蛋和辣椒酱” 可知Bibimbap 是米饭混合各种蔬菜而成的,分析选项可知D符合题意,故选D。解答此类试题时,不必通篇细看原文,而应采取“带着问题找答案”的方法,先从问题中抓住关键性词语(题眼),然后以此为线索,运用略读及查读的技巧快速在文章中寻找与此问题相关的:段落、语句,仔细品味,对照比较,确定答案。
当然细节理解题有时考查并不是单一的信息,而是多处信息的整合。解答此类“综合”信息细节题时,一定要全面捕捉相关信息,进行综合分析、归纳,切忌根据“一面之词”草率地作出结论。

25. A 推理判断题。通读第二段可知,解决新冠疫情只能依靠个人的行动和人类的善意。但人类必须应对的下一个挑战——气候变化,是无法用疫苗来解决的。因此,作者想到可以通过每个人的日常活动来应对全球变暖。由此可推知,新冠疫情期间,个人在疫情预防方面做出的贡献给予了作者启发,从而开发出了EnRoute这款应用程序。故选A。
26. B 推理判断题。根据第四段第一句“And the coolest thing is that the more I was learning, the more people got interested in the idea.”和第五段第一句“Fast forward to today, through EnRoute, over 4,000 people reduced more than 150,000 kg carbon emissions.”可知,这款应用程序让很多人产生兴趣并参与进来,降低了碳排放量。由此可推知,这款应用程序的好处是让很多人做出了改变。故选B。

【答案】Dear Mr.Brown,
I am writing to ask a favor of you.As you know,an English Drama Festival will be held in our school next month.My classmates and I are all very excited about it.We plan to rehearse a short play named Alice in Wonderland,which is based on a movie of the same title.Now we have finished adapting the play,but we are not so sure about the use of some words in the script.We are wondering whether you could give us some advice.Could you meet up to talk about it this Friday afternoon if you are available?Besides,we'd like to invite you to play a role in our play.
We'll appreciate your kind assistance.Looking forward to your reply.
As I was Looking around, I felt a gentle pull on my shirt. I looked down to see a little girl with brown eyes looking up at me. Her angelic face beamed, though, as I could see, there were some scars on her little arms. “Hi. I’m Ashley. You wanna play dolls with me ” she asked. I looked over and saw Mom nodding to me with a smile. I bent toward Ashley and whispered, “Sure. I’d love to.” Her tiny hand reached up and took mine, and we walked toward the doll house. Our time together brought her great joy and fun and she also made my day.
I returned to the shelter with Mom several times. During those visits, some of the children including Ashley shared their troubled pasts with me in great detail. I felt sore for what had happened to them and treasured the friendship between us. I would like to do everything in my power to help the children there. At the same time, I learned to be grateful for all that I had. It was a profound time in my young life that I will never forget. It was Mom who taught me the valuable lesson that summer.朝阳市建平县实高2022-2023学年高二上学期9月第一次月考

Craziest Food Festivals sounds like a joke topic, but once you start looking into it, you’ll realize they’re everywhere---the crazier, the better.
1. Bibimbap Festival
In the South Korean town of Jeonjuloves, their “mixed rice” dish is a hearty serve of rice topped with raw beef, a rainbow of vegetables, a raw egg and gochujang sauce (韩国的辣椒酱) so much. They take four days out of October to celebrate it.
Like any festival there’s music, entertainment and magic, but making it that little bit different is the bibimbap that’s whipped (搅拌) up in a big bowl by dozens of chefs and served to over 400 people.
2. Waikiki Spam Jam (怀基基午餐肉节)
Who knew this canned meat had so much love Well, it turns out that a can of Spam is the go-to item in Hawaii, along with a grass skirt and garland (花环).

3. Bessieres Easter Egg Festival
At Easter time, for those in the French town of Bessieres it’s all about an egg far less sweet.
Here they celebrate the holiday by getting dozens of chefs to make one large omelette (煎蛋卷) - 15,000 eggs strong - for the townsfolk (市民).
4. Potato Days Festival
This festival actually takes place in Barnesville, Minnesota(明尼苏达州), the US. Over the last Friday and Saturday in August the town celebrates its potato-growing skills by hosting potato picking and peeling contests, as well as a Miss Tater Tot pageant (盛典) for five-and six-year-old girls.

As a senior school graduate, during COVID-19 outbreak, I’ve had many concerns, the greatest one of which was being unable to help my community, except for wearing my mask, following the health officials’ guidelines, and assisting seniors to get their groceries.
Then it struck me. Solving COVID-19 relied only on individual steps and the goodwill of human consciousness. But the next challenge we have to deal with ahead is climate change, known as the silent pandemic without a vaccine (疫苗). So, all I could think of was: Why don’t we do the same, and deal with it through our everyday activities
I’ve created an App, EnRoute, to help reduce carbon emissions (排放) from shopping and transport activities. Even though I’ve never coded (编码) before, my will was greater than any excuse I could think of. The first version was just a one-screen App. Through the quarantines (隔离), I’ve had only 70 people to test the concept with and created little impact. Plus, leading a social organization seemed like a small boat in a rough sea to me. But instead of giving up, I chose to fill the gap.
And the coolest thing is that the more I was learning, the more people got interested in the idea. Through every leadership program, I built a stronger EnRoute Community where each person was equally passionate and brave to make a change. Their enthusiasm was my greatest fuel. At least I traveled across the world without a single carbon emission.
Fast forward to today, through EnRoute, over 4,000 people reduced more than 150,000 kg carbon emissions. The App turned into an international movement. And I even had the pleasure to be the first-ever Macedonian Global Teen Leader+Princess Diana Award Winner.
It turns out that except for being a good time to reflect and relax, bridge years can be a powerful tool to change the world as well!
24. How did the author feel during COVID-19
A. Upset. B. Alarmed. C. Worried. D. Ignorant.
25. What inspired the author to create the App, EnRoute
A. Individual devotion to pandemic prevention.
B. Similarity between carbon emissions and COVID-19.
C. The author’s involvement in community service.
D. The influence of human activities on global warming.
26. What is the benefit of the App
A. It unites many countries. B. It gets many people to change.
C. It inspires the author to enjoy himself. D. It proves the author’s ability to change others.
27. Which of the following can best describe the author
A. Patient and selfless. B. Able and outgoing.
C. Creative and generous. D. Determined and responsible.
C
A new study of 8,000 young people in the journal of Health and Social Behavior shows that although love can make adults live healthily and happily, it is a bad thing for young people. Puppy love may bring stress for young people and can lead to depression (抑郁). The study shows that girls become more depressed than boys, and younger girls are the worst of all.
The possible reason for the connection between love and higher risk of depression for girls is “loss of self”. According to the study, even though boys would say “lose themselves in a romantic relationship”, this “loss of self” is much more likely to lead to depression when it happens to girls. Young girls who have romantic relationships usually like hiding their feelings and opinions. They won’t tell that to their parents.
Dr. Marianm Kaufman, an expert on young people problems, says 15% to 20% young people will have depression during their growing. Trying romance often causes the depression. She advises kids not to jump into romance too early. During growing up, it is important for young people to build strong friendships and a strong sense of self. She also suggests the parents should encourage their kids to keep close to their friends, attend more interesting school activities and spend enough time with family. Parents should watch for signs of depression — eating or mood changes — and if they see signs from their daughters or sons, they need to give help. The good news is that the connection between romance and depression seems to become weak with age. Love will always make us feel young, but only maturity (成熟) gives us a chance to avoid its bad side effects.
28. What’s the main idea of the passage
A. Puppy love may bring young people depression. B. Parents should forbid their children’s love.
C. Romance is a two-edged sword for adults . D. Romance is good for young people.
29. Which of the following is more likely to have depression
A. Young people who have a strong sense of self.
B. Young boys whose parents watch for their behavior.
C. Young girls who always hide their feelings and opinions.
D. Careless parents whose children are deep in love.
30. What can be inferred from the passage
A. Lacking love can lead young people to grow up more quickly.
B. The older a woman is, the less likely she seems to lose herself in romance.
C. Parents should help their children to be aware of the signs of depression.
D. Early love makes young people keep close to their friends and parents.
31. What’s the author’s attitude towards puppy love
A. Puzzled. B. Frightened. C. Unconcerned D. Disapproving.
D
People say money doesn’t buy happiness, but how much money you make can affect the way you experience it
While it’s true that money can’t buy happiness, having money has certain benefits. For example, money can buy you time to do things that make you happier, and giving away some of your money can make you happier as well. Now scientists from the University of California at Irvine have found that how much money you make may impact (影响) how you experience happiness; higher earners are more likely to experience positive emotions focused on themselves, while lower earners are more likely to experience positive emotions focused on connecting with other people.
Scientists used data from an existing survey of 1,519 U.S. adults between the ages of 24 to 93, to be representative of the entire U.S. population. From the survey, scientist collected the household income of each person and analyzed how each person experienced the seven emotions that are believed to cause happiness: amusement, admiration, compassion, satisfaction, enthusiasm, love, and pride.
What they found was that higher earners were associated with the happiness-related emotions of satisfaction, pride, and amusement, all of which are self-focused in nature. Lower earners were associated with more other-oriented (他人指向) happiness-related emotions: compassion, love, and admiration. There were no differences observed with enthusiasm.
As to reasons for the difference, the researchers suppose that while pride and satisfaction may reflect upper class individuals’ desire for independence, increased love and compassion may help lower class individuals form more harmonious (和谐的), interdependent bonds to help deal with their more threatening environments. In other words, the researchers are not saying that one way of getting happiness is better than another, but rather that the way one obtains happiness may be a product of existing and coping within one’s particular circumstances.
12. What do higher earners prefer to do
A. Long to connect with others. B. Spend more money on the poor.
C. Buy things to make them happier. D. Pay more attention to themselves.
13. Why did the scientists study the seven emotions
A. They can make people happy. B. They can be bought with money.
C. They are the most common feelings. D. They are results of an existing survey.
14. Which emotions do lower-income people have based on the study
A. Pride and satisfaction. B. Enthusiasm and amusement.
C. Admiration and compassion. D. Compassion and satisfaction.
15. What can be inferred from people with different incomes
A. Those with lower income live a hard life. B. They have different ways to get happiness.
C. Richer ones are happier than poorer ones. D. Their happiness has nothing to do with money.
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。
Music is an international language that is beautiful to people all over the world. It seems to be a natural need for us. 36
Music plays a significant role in education. Studies have indicated that music physically develops the part of the brain known to be involved with language. 37 Therefore the development of one promotes the growth of the other, and musical training not only develops a child’s language skills but also promotes the learning of a second language. Music also causes improvement in brainpower. The thought patterns that are formed while studying music may help improve the ability to learn other subjects.

We often take for granted the very things that most deserve our gratitude.
Growing up, I wanted to be just like my mom. Kind and caring, she always seemed to make people comfortable in her presence. For years she was a volunteer in our community. I loved going to the local nursing home to help with her until I hit my preteen years. Suddenly, I was too caught up in my adolescent world to worry about helping others.
One particular summer day when I was twelve, Mom came into my room and told me to get up and meet her at the car. I had planned to spend the day at the lake with friends. Why did she have to ruin everything Eventually, I made my way outside. I imagined the lake water cooling my skin. Annoyed, I climbed into the car and slammed the door shut. I sat in silence, too upset to make a conversation.
“Tasha, would you like to know where we are going ” Mom asked calmly.
“I guess…,” I murmured under my breath.
“Sweetheart, we are going to a children’s shelter, I have been there before and I think it would benefit you,” she explained.
I felt a knot slowly form in my stomach. How was I supposed to help there
When we reached the shelter, I was rather surprised. It was a large white Victorian home. As we approached the large front porch, wind bells played a calming tune while trees and blossoms welcomed us. Maybe this wasn’t going to be so bad.
Mom rang the doorbell. The door flew open and we were led to the front room, where all of the children were playing. Toys were spread out across the floor. I noticed a baby whose body was scarred with wounds. The majority of the children had noticeable physical scars(伤疤) such as cuts, scratches and burns. What a terrible life they had before they moved here! My heart sank.
As I was looking around, I felt a gentle pull on my shirt. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I returned to the shelter with Mom several times. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
