第二节 书面表达（满分25分）
Dear Mike,
I’m Li Hua, a senior 2 student. I am writing to apply for the volunteer to receive the students from foreign countries. As a culture lover, I think it’s a duty for me to offer the best voluntary service to our foreign guests and meanwhile promote Chinese culture.
I do believe that I am qualified for the job. Firstly, I have extensive knowledge of our school’s history and culture. Besides, I have a good command of English, making it easy for me to communicate with foreign guests freely. More importantly, I have been involved in a good deal of reception work.
Thanks for your time and consideration, I would appreciate it if I could be chosen for this job.
Yours,
Li hua

答案解析
阅读理解
A篇
21. C 细节理解 根据第一个黑标题和第二个黑标段落的第一句可得出答案。
22. B 细节理解 根据 “Hours: Normal office hours are 9:00 am to 5:00 pm but the person appointed will be required to work extra hours that are reasonably required to fulfil their duties.”可知，通常情况下，员工上班时间为“早九晚五”，时长共计8小时，但特定人员在合理要求下会超时工作。
23. D 推理判断 根据文章标题和内容可知，这是the Holker Group集团公司的工作招聘广告。
B篇
24. B细节理解 根据第四段可知，电影《壮志凌云：特立独行》自五月上映以来，在北美地区的票房收入超过了$700 million，在全球的总收入也达到了$1.4 billion。
25. D 细节理解 从第2-5自然段可知，这部电影叫好又叫座，票房收入持续攀高，这在当代好莱坞也尤为惊艳。
26. A 推理判断 根据倒数第3段Paul所说可知，这部电影的票房表现对疫情下的电影业可谓是注了一支强心针，曾经一度有人怀疑电影院是否还有能力吸引观众，可这部电影的票房打了这群怀疑者的脸，影院观影体验是无可比拟的，因此，影院对观影者来说依然有着强劲的吸引力。
27. A 推理判断 根据文中提到的《壮志凌云：特立独行》的票房，和与之对比的几部电影来看，作者对它赞赏有加。
C篇
28. C 细节理解 根据文中第一、二段可知，西班牙语中的字母“R”的颤音发音是Castillo最大的焦虑源之一，尤其是对于像她那样，小时候没怎么接触西班牙语的人来说，更是难上加难了。
29. B 词义猜测 解析参见第28题。
30. C 推理判断 根据第三段和最后一段可推断出答案。
31. A 细节理解 根据最后一段，Castillo在抖音上出西班牙语写的唱片来弥合西班牙语者与想学而无人教授西班牙语者之间的差距，并使之成为其工作，这对于非西班牙语者的学习是有很大帮助的。
D篇
32. B 细节理解 根据第二段和倒数第二段可得出答案。
33. D细节理解 根据第三段“Dr. Karenga searched for ways to strengthen the African-American community.”可知，Dr. Karenga寻求多种方式增进邻里社区之间关系，促进团结。
34. C推理判断 根据文章最后一段的最后一句“Now, however, numbers have paled, but it still remains an important cultural touchstone (试金石) for many African American communities.”可知，诚然，参加庆祝Kwanzaa节的人数在减少，但它依然是美国非裔人社区文化的重要载体。
35. D 主旨大意 文章从Kwanzaa节的产生、引入、振兴、庆祝方式、内涵和文化意义对其进行了较为全面的阐释。
七选五
36. F 上下语境及句间逻辑 孩子是语言的最佳学习者，但这并不意味着成人就不能学习。
37. D 上下语境及句间逻辑 先选择所学语言的50个单词在真实场景中使用，然后慢慢学习语法。注意选项B的干扰。
38. G 下文句间逻辑 该选项与后文两个分句构成平行关系，它们都是在家使用语言的日常场景。
39. A 篇章结构 该选项与上下段落构成平行关系，是该段段落小标题。抓选项中“technology”与段落中“phone”、“browser”和“online”等的语义关联。
40. E 主题句 该段主题是通过交友练习语言。因此，选项中的“Communicating”是关键。
第一节 完形填空
本文为记叙文，讲述的是断臂孩子因为在电视上看到和自己一样身体有残疾的榜样，但积极面对生活的故事，开始积极面对生活的故事。同时，影响了他人的榜样人物也因为帮助他人而获得成就感，决心帮助更多的人。
41.A。解析：经过此处和后文（第48题处）两处信息的对比和推断，可以得出，他和别人不同，只有一只胳膊/手。因此答案选hands。
42.B。解析：此句的it指的是上文提到的了解到自己和别人不一样这件事，那么这件事其应该是在别人嘲笑他的一瞬间让他意识到的。因此答案选laughed。
43.B。解析：从后面连续三个发问可以看出，他是带着这些问题回家（问妈妈）的。因此答案选questions。
44.D。解析：根据上下文可以判断，Lewis是妈妈，根据上下文这里要表达的意思是她承认自己那一刻不知所措。因此选择admits。
45.C。解析：此句话当中的those指的是上文提到的三个问题，因此后面跟着的名词就是答案。因此选择answers。
46.B。解析：打开电视看到一个什么样的故事，根据后面故事的内容描述，可以得知这个故事不是睡前故事，不是科幻故事，也不是冒险故事，而是新闻里讲述的一个人物的故事。因此选择news。
47.C。解析：首先，此句话中的he是指的Trashaun，他成为网络热点是因为他发布了一个扣篮视频，而不是因为看了/制作了/拍摄了自己扣篮的视频，。因此选择posting。
48.D。解析：本题和第一题互为呼应，通过此两处的信息对比，可以得出他是失去了左臂。因此答案是missing。
49.A。解析：在那段时间，仅仅是看看Trashaun，对他来说就已经是足以激励他的时刻。因此答案是watching。
50.C。解析：下一句说他把Trashaun看作是和自己有一样缺陷的榜样人物，因此看这个人的视频对他来说就是很励志的。因此答案是inspiring。
51.B。解析：根据上下文语境，可以得知家人的一个朋友向报社求助，但是无处得知是用什么方式取得联系的，所以不能选亲自去、写信或者拜访。因此答案是turned to。
52.C。解析：从下一段可以知道，他们两人见面了，所以是请报社帮忙安排一次会面。因此答案是meeting。
53.A。解析：从上文可以得知，他因为了解到自己和别人的不同而自卑，所以家人希望的是增加他的自信，而不是力量，魅力或者勇气。因此答案是confidence。从下文57题处也看得出，这时候他有点失去信心了。
54.B。解析：根据后半句：因为他们有些一样的问题，所以他们一见面就建立了情谊或者说友谊。因此答案是immediately。
55.D。解析：根据上下文可知，此处的意思是他们没有把这一天花在自我怜惜上。因此答案是abandoning。
56.B。解析：此句话中的it指的是上一句中的the day，那是怎样的一天呢？be meant for意思是全身心投入，所以此处的意思这是专注于趣味的一天。因此答案是meant for。
57.D。解析：根据文章开头处得知，他是由于受到别人嘲笑才开始自我怀疑的，所以此处Trashaun想告诉他的是，不要因为任何人的话而动摇他的自信。因此答案是words。
58.A。解析：从那次会面以后，妈妈Lewis看到了儿子身上发生的变化。因此答案是ever since。
59.D。解析：从后面的一句话得知，Jayce开始练习摔跤还非常喜欢。可以看出，妈妈在儿子身上看到了明显的变化。因此答案是obvious。
60.B。解析：此句话中的point to意思是指出（重要的人或事），妈妈把儿子的这种显著的变化归功于Trashaun的影响。因此答案是influence。
语法填空
本文是议论文。文章讲述的是人们忘记了节日的初衷，只关注自己在节日时得到了什么，而不是把节日当作一个付出的时机。
61. comes 考查动词。句意：当谈及到假日，人们总是忘记这是一个付出的时刻而不是一个收获的时刻。“when it comes to the holidays”是常见的一种表达，意思是“当谈及到”，主语为第三人称单数，时态为一般现在时，故填comes。
62. interested考查形容词。句意：我们对于圣诞节早上我们会收到什么东西更感兴趣，而不是把这个节日看作一个帮助那些没有我们过的好的人的时机。这里考查的是be interested in这个固定短语的用法，故填interested。
63. to help考查非谓语动词。句意：我们对于圣诞节早上我们会收到什么东西更感兴趣，而不是把这个节日看作一个帮助那些没有我们过的好的人的时机。此处to help out those是opportunity的后置定语，故填to help。
64. as考查连词。句意：因此，我们该如何挑战节日文化来确保人们去重视这些付出的机会，就像人们重视期待圣诞袜里出现礼物一样呢？这里有一个同级比较，as much as，故填as。
65. thinking考查非谓语动词。句意：这是一个值得思考的问题。形容词worth的用法是：be worth doing，故填thinking。
66. selflessly考查副词。句意：无私地付出仍然是正确的事儿，尽管我们当中的很多人被这个任务挑战。这里的selflessly用来修饰动词give，所以需要用副词形式，故填selflessly。
67. are challenged考查动词的时态和语态。无私地付出仍然是正确的事儿，尽管我们当中的很多人被这个任务挑战。by the task表示被这个任务，根据语义，判断使用被动语态，以及时态为现状，用一般现在时，故填are challenged。
68. what考查宾语从句。根据句子结构，for后面缺宾语，故填what。
69. rainy考查形容词。句意：尤其是当我们有财政目标，比如攒养老金、攒钱度假或者未雨绸缪。此处的rainy day，意思为“有困难的日子”，需要填写形容词形式，故填rainy。
70. to考查非谓语动词。句意：当我们给予那些有需求的人帮助，我们就对他们以及我们的生活都产生积极的影响。根据句意，此处是短语make a difference to，意思为“对…...产生影响”，故填to。

W: You’ve been in America for only two months, but you seem to know a lot about our country.
M: I’d learnt a lot about America before I came here. Every student in China must learn English these days. If you learn a language, you must learn about the culture behind it.

M: Sure, but not right now since I must go to the library. How about tomorrow
W: OK.
Text 10
Hello, everybody. Today I’d like to share with you something about John Audubon. John was born on April 26th, 1785. He spent much of his childhood in France, where he spent many hours each day outdoors painting pictures. At the age of 18, he moved to the United States. Well, actually, John began his life in the US as a businessman.
However, instead of taking care of his business, John was often off exploring the nature. At first, John spent his time hunting for fun. Then he found that the animals around were very beautiful, and he particularly enjoyed observing the birds he saw. He began studying them, trying to learn the differences between the birds and noticing
their different behaviors. Therefore, he painted the birds he observed a lot. In 1819, John realized that he didn’t have enough money to pay his bills. He was very upset that he couldn’t earn enough money to support his family,
so he spent time improving his painting skills and began to sell his paintings. He discovered that he could earn some money while doing something he really enjoyed. We’re lucky now to have so many paintings of American birds by John Audubon.蓉城名校联盟2022-2023学年高二上学期期中联考

There are summer blockbusters (大片), and then there’s “Top Gun: Maverick.”
The Paramount film, featuring Tom Cruise’s return to the skies as Pete “Maverick” Mitchell over 30 years after the hit 1986 original, won the domestic box office (国内票房) over the Labor Day weekend — bringing in $7.9 million for the four-day holiday.
That makes “Maverick” the only film in history to take the top spot on Memorial Day weekend and Labor Day weekend.
It’s just one of the film’s notable financial achievements. It crossed the $700 million mark in ticket sales, passing Marvel’s “Black Panther” to become the fifth highest-grossing film in North American history, and has made $1.4 billion worldwide since opening in May.
In another sign of “Maverick” staying power, the movie boasts a box office multiple (倍数) of roughly 5.5, which means its current domestic haul is 5.5 times that of its opening weekend total. That’s unheard of in contemporary Hollywood, as most big films have a multiple of around 2.5.
But “Maverick” fans kept coming back to theaters throughout the summer, so much so that the film made at least one million dollars a day for 75 straight days.
That type of financial longevity not only speaks to the film’s quality — it earned a 96% score on review site Rotten Tomatoes — but serves as an old-school success story at a time when theaters really needed one.
“There are not enough words to describe the importance of the box office performance of ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ to the industry, having come at a time when naysayers (怀疑者) remained doubtful of the ability of the movie theater to draw audiences,” Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst at Comscore (SCOR), told CNN Business. “Truly a watershed event.”
Hollywood simply does not produce summer blockbusters like this anymore.
While several recent movies have done quite well, like 2019’s “Avengers: Endgame” and 2021’s “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” such releases are typically “front-loaded,” meaning they open to huge numbers only on the first weekend.
24. How much has “Top Gun: Maverick” made in North America since opening in May
A. $1 million. B. $700 million. C. $7.9million. D. $1.4 billion.
25. What marks the great success of the film “Maverick”
A. Tom Cruise’s starring it. B. Hollywood’s blockbuster.
C. A popular old-school story. D. Amazing financial achievements.
26. What does the box office performance of “Top Gun: Maverick” suggest according to Paul
A. Movie theaters still have huge attraction to audiences.
B. Movie stars play a critical role in the box office.
C. No films can equal to Hollywood blockbusters.
D. The quality of a film means the box office.
27. What is the author’s attitude towards the film “Top Gun: Maverick”
A. Positive. B. Critical. C. Doubtful. D. Disappointed.
C
One of the greatest sources of concern for Alaina Castillo has been the letter R.
Rolling Rs is at the heart of learning Spanish and one of its most challenging trills (颤音), especially for those unaccessible to the language regularly as a young child.
This is a lesson the 21-year-old singer spent years learning in and out of school. And it’s one that has paid off for Castillo, particularly on TikTok (抖音), which has made efforts to train its Spanish creators.
The Houston native is part of a flourishing Spanish and Latinx creator community that has attracted huge followings through videos that briefly translate cultural traditions and history for a young and captive TikTok audience.
“TikTok is a window to the world, and we’ve seen people across the worldwide Latinx and Spanish connect with one another on the platform through shared stories and experiences,” Kudzi Chikumbu, TikTok’s director of creator community, told CNN over email.
TikTok videos from Spanish creators are also getting consumed more than ever.
TikTok hashtags (主题标签) #Latino, #Latina, #Familia and #Comida, among others, grew in use by more than 185% since last year’s Spanish Heritage Month, according to data shared by TikTok spokesperson Cynthia Dew. The hashtags #Latino and #Latina have more than 62 billion views combined to date, Dew added.
Millions of those views belong to Castillo, who joined TikTok roughly a year ago to share original Spanish and English songs, as well as covers.
When she started making music, Castillo thought she’d be singing in English. That changed after her family encouraged her to write records in Spanish after learning the language in high school, Castillo told CNN.
“There’s a lot of different opinions when it comes to Latinx or people like me who are learning Spanish, so I made it my job to write records that bridge the gap between Spanish speakers and those who want to learn but were never taught,” she said.
28. What worries Castillo most in learning Spanish
A. She is an American Native. B. She had no access to Spanish as young.
C. “R” is difficult to pronounce. D. She has no gift for a second language.
29. What do the underlined words “the language” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. Latin. B. Spanish. C. English. D. Rolling Rs.
30. How do you like Castillo from her experience
A. Anxious and slow. B. Creative and humorous.
C. Strong-willed and enthusiastic. D. Brave and popular.
31. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. Castillo helps non-Spanish speakers a lot.
B. People can understand Latinx people well.
C. People of different languages stand apart.
D. Castillo is fond of writing English records.

Kwanzaa may be a festival celebrated by millions of African Americans and pan-Africans, but it has only been around for a few decades (十年). Introduced to the United States in 1966 as a ceremony to welcome the first harvest to the home, the festival, which takes place from December 26 to January 1, is a celebration of life, unity, family, and culture.
Featuring feasts, music and dance, and a devotion and recommitment to different principles (信条), the festival was created in the middle of the Black Freedom Movement, at a time when it was felt that cultural grounding was needed.
Dr. Maulana Karenga, professor and chairman of Black Studies at California State University in Long Beach, is responsible for bringing the festival to life. After the Watts violence in L.A., Dr. Karenga searched for ways to strengthen the African-American community. He paired the practices with traditions of several different harvest celebrations on the African continent, and although it is celebrated around the Christmas period, it perhaps has more similarities to Thanksgiving or the Yam Festival in Ghana and Nigeria.
There are five common sets of values that are central to the week-long activities: ingathering, reverence, commemoration, recommitment, and celebration. There are seven principles of Kwanzaa, meaning first fruits in Kiswahili, a language spoken in Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania. The first fruit celebrations appear in ancient and modern times in classical African civilizations.
These seven principles are known as Umoja, meaning unity; kujichagulia, self-determination; ujima, collective work, and responsibility; ujamaa, cooperative economics; nia, purpose; kuumba, creativity; and Imani, faith. There are seven candles used during the festival, and like, the Jewish Hanukkah, these candles are used to represent the principles.
On December 31, participants celebrate with a plentiful meal, often featuring good meals from various African countries.
The number of Americans who celebrate Kwanzaa has changed greatly over the years, and with as many as six million getting involved in the 1980s, Kwanzaa became a mainstream holiday. Now, however, numbers have paled, but it still remains an important cultural touchstone (试金石) for many African American communities.
32. What activity can be included during the celebration of Kwanzaa
A. Creating a piece of music. B. Having a plentiful meal.
C. Giving and receiving gifts. D. Enjoying an art exhibition.
33. How did Dr. Karenga bring Kwanzaa to life
A. He started the Watts violence in Los Angeles.
B. He created five common sets of values.
C. He found ways to practice African traditions.
D. He strengthened the unity of neighbors.
34. What can we infer about the celebration of Kwanzaa
A. Kwanzaa is a festival across the world.
B. Africans are considered important in the U.S..
C. Kwanzaa is an important cultural symbol.
D. Kwanzaa is less popular among young Africans.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. A festival: The Culture Cross the World
B. African Americans: An Important Part of Americans
C. Principles: The Focus of a Festival
D. Kwanzaa: The African Celebration of Unity and Culture

They say that children learn languages the best. 36 . We asked some of the polyglots (通晓多种语言的人) in TED’s Open Translation Project to share their secrets to mastering a foreign language. Several basic principles are as follows.
Get real. Decide on a simple, achievable goal to start with so that you don’t feel confused. German translator Judith Matz suggests: “Pick up 50 words of a language and start using them on people — 37 .”
Play house with the language. The more you invite a foreign language into your daily life, the more your brain will consider it something useful and worth caring about. “Use every opportunity to get involved in the new language,” says Russian translator Olga Dmitrochenkova. 38 , read kids’ books written in it, watch subtitled TED and TEDx talks, or live-narrate parts of your day to an imaginary foreign friend.
39 . Dmitrochenkova has a great idea: “A funny thing like resetting the language on your phone can help you learn new words right away,” she says. Ditto for changing the language on your browser (浏览器). Or you can seek out more structured learning opportunities online. Dutch translator Els De Keyser recommends Duolinguo for its gamified (游戏化) approach to grammar, and Anki for memorizing vocabulary with its “intelligent” flashcards...
Make new friends. 40 — it will teach you to naturally express your thoughts, instead of mentally translating each sentence before you say it. Find native speakers near you. Or search for foreign penpals or set up a language connection online, where two volunteers help one another practice their own languages.
A. Let technology help you out
B. and look up them in the dictionary
C. Do not worry about making mistakes
D. and then slowly start picking up grammar
E. Communicating in the new language is key
F. But that doesn’t mean that adults should give up
G. Stick every object in your house in this language

We have a problem that is deeply rooted in our world today. When it 61 (come) to the holidays, people tend to forget that it’s the season of giving rather than receiving. We tend to be more 62 (interest) in what we’ll receive on Christmas morning instead of looking at the holidays as an opportunity 63 (help) out those who don’t have it as good as we do. So how can we change the culture around the holidays and make sure that people are emphasizing the time to give as much 64 they are looking forward to opening up their stockings This is a question worth 65 (think) about. Giving 66 (selfless) is the right thing to do, though many of us 67 (challenge) by the task. Whether or not we have much money to spare, it isn’t always easy to give away 68 we have worked so hard for, especially when we have set financial goals — saving for retirement, a vacation or a 69 (rain) day. Even with so many reasons to be unwilling, the advantages of giving outweigh them all. When we give to those in need, we make a positive difference 70 the lives of others and our own.

Listening to English radio programmes help me get used to how fast native speaker talk. I also repeat what I hear to help me to experience the feeling of language. Sometimes I even record my voice so I can listen to my pronunciation and compare it with the radio host! My biggest headache is why to be polite in English. It’s much easier to just say “Open the window!”, but in English that can sound really terribly. I have to think about who I’m talking
to and then decide whether to say it, “Open the window, please!” or “Could you open the window, please ” or even a long one “Would you mind open the window, please ”
