【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国的古代诗歌以及著名的诗人。
56．考查动词时态。句意：中国最早的诗歌集《诗经》可以追溯到公元前11世纪，但是中国诗歌的历史可能更长。根据句意，句子用一般现在时。分析句子可知，此处填谓语动词，主语Shi Jing为第三人称单数，主谓一致，故填dates。
57．考查非谓语现在分词。句意：中国诗歌千百年来的发展变化，犹如一片美丽深邃的海洋，不断吸引着说汉语的人们。and连接两个并列的成分，根据changing可知，此处应用develop的现在分词developing，作状语，（动词develop和主语Chinese poetry是主动关系，）注意首字母大写，故填Developing。
58．考查定语从句。句意：中国诗歌千百年来的发展变化，犹如一片美丽深邃的海洋，不断吸引着说汉语的人们。分析句子可知，空格处引导定语从句，先行词为a beautiful and fathomless ocean， be drawn to意为“被……吸引”，介词to+关系代词 which引导从句，which指代 先行词，做to的宾语。故填which。
59．考查介词。句意：写于1000多年前的非常古老的诗歌比较简单，是关于人们欣赏的爱情、浪漫和自然之类的普通事物。分析句子可知，此处列举哪些是诗歌经常写作的内容，介词like意为“像；比如”，符合句意。故填like。
60．考查从属连词。句意：虽然宋代以后的诗歌创作很多，但由于诗人的学术性和抽象性越来越强，使得现代汉语不能欣赏诗歌的风格和意义。后文“it is thought the poets became 61 (increase) academic and abstract so that modern Chinese can’t appreciate the style and meaning.”和前文“much poetry was written in the eras following the Song Dynasty”语义转折，所以应用从属连词though或although或while引导让步状语从句，注意首字母大写，故填Though/Although/While。
61．考查副词。句意：虽然宋代以后的诗歌创作很多，但由于诗人的学术性和抽象性越来越强，使得现代汉语不能欣赏诗歌的风格和意义。修饰形容词应用副词，increase是动词，increasing是形容词，副词为 increasingly。故填increasingly。
62．考查反身代词。句意：原因之一是中国特色的本质。分析句子可知，此处应用反身代词，作Chinese characteristics的同位语，起强调作用。故填themselves。
63．考查冠词。句意：这些词通常有很多含义，这使得汉英翻译成为阅读和理解中国诗歌的一个关键部分。空格后的名词part是可数名词单数，所以应用不定冠词限定，泛指“一个关键部分”，因所连接的形容词key为辅音音素开头，故填a。
64．考查时态语态。句意：如果说中国最伟大的诗人是谁，唐代的杜甫和李白，他们同时代，在中国游历甚广，往往名列前茅。根据句意可判断为被动语态，谓语动词name“说出…的名字；列举”与主语 poets之间为被动关系，应用被动语态，结构为be+动词的过去分词。根据句意，本句这一部分应为一般现在时，故填are named。
65．考查名词和形容词。句意：如果说中国最伟大的诗人是谁，唐代的杜甫和李白，他们同时代，在中国游历甚广，往往名列前茅。分析句子可知，此处contemporary可作为名词使用，意为“同时代的人”，根据were可判断为复数，作表语；contemporary也可作为形容词使用，作表语。故填contemporaries/contemporary。

Dear Jim,

Despite the tight schedulc, I still manage to do my share of housework, like tidying my room and dusting the bookshclves. Sometimes I cook something for my family.
Personally, doing houscwork is rewarding. Not only can we students get organized, but learn to take on responsibility at home. It can also serve as an escape from the stressful school life.
Hopefully, the information can be of some help to you. Good luck with your survey.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节：参考范文：
The doctors suggested he return to college with scars of severe burns temporarily. Although I knew that there were going to be storms in life, it was hard for me to imagine that a handsome and sunny boy would return to his classmates with scars. I really didn't know how to comfort him. After all, the scars were on him. Not all of us could be able to turn that particular page successfully. It was at this time that I remembered what my mother said to my sister. It was those words that enabled her to overcome her psychological barriers and lead a smooth life.
So I told him about Nancy's childhood.I passed the wisdom on to my son. Realizing my complex feelings, he smiled and comforted me instead. He took my advice to heart and returned to school with his head held high. By the end of the six-month waiting period, he decided that the scars did not matter. So he made the decision to give up any plastic surgery. We all have "scars"that we believe will keep people away from us. Put your imperfections out of your mind and concentrate on what you value within yourself, and your beauty will shine through.

W: Did you catch any of the snowboarding events this winter
M: Don’t get me started. Besides figure skating and speed skating, snowboarding is another sport that attracts me.
Text 2
W: George, look at the long waiting line. I am glad you have booked a table.
M: I guess it is because the dishes here are cheap and delicious.
W: I think so.
Text 3
M: What do you think of Mr. Johnson’s presentation
W: It was far beyond my expectation. I never thought he was such a persuasive speaker.
Text 4
M: I’ve received this month’s gas bill of 20 dollars and electricity bill of 25 dollars.
W: The three of us share the apartment and we will share the total cost equally.
M: OK. That’s fair.
Text 5
M: There is an oil painting exhibition at the national gallery. And John will go there with me after he has his teeth examined. Care to join us
W: I’d love to. But I had a flat tire just now. I’m afraid I have to have it checked.
Text 6
M: So, shall we pay for another year’s family membership
W: Of course! I’d like to carry on playing badminton and you enjoy swimming. It’s a nice thing to do after work, isn’t it
M: I agree. And maybe we should have our meal earlier in the evening rather than so late at night. What do you think
W: It’s worth trying. We’re always hungry after the gym.
M: And it’s not good to go to bed with a full stomach. But we can’t stay up too late, because we’ve both got to get up so early for work every day.
W: I know.
Text 7
W: Sir, how can I help
M: I’m not from the city and I’m trying to use the bus system for the first time.
W: Well, welcome to Chicago and I can definitely help you with the bus routes. Where are you heading
M: My plan for today is to visit the Modern Art Museum, stop at the zoo and then eat dinner downtown.
W: That sounds like a fun day. You should probably get a 24-hour bus pass for unlimited bus rides. That way you can stop and explore as much as you want in each neighborhood for the entire day.
M: Great.
W: A lot of tourists prefer this option. It’s a good deal too. Instead of paying $2 per bus ride, you can pay $8 and ride all day.
M: Perfect, please get me two.

M: Oh, Linda. What are you up to these days It seems ages since we met in our university canteen.
W: Well, I work part time at a supermarket.
M: What do you do there
W: I usually work in the produce section in the early morning, wrapping fresh fruit and vegetables. Sometimes it really gets busy. Have you got a job, Phil
M: Yeah, I do garden work on weekends. Watering, cleaning leaves, pulling weeds, and things like that.
W: It must be nice to work outdoors.
M: Sometimes it is, except when it rains or snows.
W: Every job has its shortcomings. There are times when I get pretty tired. But a job is a job, and on the whole it ensures a great sense of achievement. And I hope to cover my college fees as much as possible.
M: Me too. Well, I’d better get going. I’ve got to plant some trees for my neighbours this afternoon.
W: All right, see you!
Text 9
M: Thanks for joining us tonight, Gigi. Your project The School in the Cloud has been gaining some steam. Could you tell our audience about it
W: Sure. It is a project I created in 2017. You see, there are many retired teachers out there. Once a teacher, always a teacher. I wanted to find a way to make them available online for children around the world.
M: So, how does The School in the Cloud work
W: It is quite simple. In the self-organized learning classrooms, students are given a big question. They choose their own groups and can change groups anytime. Groups are expected to present what they have learned at the end of each session.
M: Have you come across any challenges
W: Quite often, in fact. We’ve had problems with sound or vision, or even both. And we have to try communication by text. There is also no guarantee that the Internet will always work. In some areas there are shortages of proper equipment.
M: Now Gigi, some of our viewers posted questions for you on our website. It seems quite a few of them are looking to join your project.
W: Really Well, I’d like to say “welcome aboard” to them all.

In Canada, a local program was set up, which has benefited both elderly people and students. Linda Jones, who used to be a nurse, is 99 years old now. She felt lonely because her children couldn’t keep her company. Recently, she signed up for a local program connecting elderly people with young people. Linda and 17-year-old Jessy Brown formed a pair because Jessy Brown is also interested in the nursing work. Linda’s life story as a nurse is inspiring Brown, who also wants to become a nurse.
For the high school students involved in the program, the time spent with elderly people can be used toward volunteer work which is needed for graduation. They are supposed to speak for 30 minutes with elderly people each week. The program has been a good fortune to both elderly people and high school students.Due to
various reasons, elderly people can’t meet their families and students are having trouble getting their volunteer hours. Therefore, there has been a huge positive response from both of them.晋江市五校2022-2023学年高二下学期期末考试

Coming of age is that time in each of our lives when we begin to see the possibilities. The world opens up in ways that mature our vision and give us a sense of responsibility and gratefulness.Connor had just started college and loved being at that stage in his life where he could eat all the pizza he wanted,yet engage in adult conversations with his parents about the responsibility to make life better for others. Connor's optimism was infectious. There was so much he could do,and so much he could become.
But it all ended one night when Connor was distracted while driving on a Colorado high-way. A young man,who gave off so much light,suddenly went dark.
Connor's father,David,took it particularly hard. A father sees more than his own traits (性格)in his son; He sees greater possibilities than he achieved .Taking that hope away left David feeling at a loss. But Connor's optimism was one of those traits passed on to him by his father. So, David got to work.
First, he established the Honor Connor Scholarship Fund to reward students who served in the community. Next,he went to work creating a research-based curriculum that educates University of Colorado Boulder students and their families about the dangers of texting while driving. It includes a very simple three-part promise:Do not text or use social media while driving,speak out if riding with a driver who is distracted and encourage friends and family to drive phone-free.
David now works with lecturers at various colleges and high schools,ensuring young minds understand how statistically at risk they are when they text while driving. He's become a passionate advocate for preparing young people to drive safely and not reach for their phones while they're at the wheel,“I just don't want other parents to go through what I did when I lost Connor,”says David.“It's just so preventable.”
24.What's the purpose of paragraph l
A. To give the background of a funny story.
B. To explain why David chose to volunteer.
C. To set off David's great pain of losing his son.
D. To sing high praise for Connor's healthy growth.
25.What happened to Connor on a Colorado highway
A. The headlight of his car went wrong. B. He drove carelessly and died in an accident. C. He suffered an accident for his father's fault. D. He died from another driver's careless driving.
26.From whom did Connor get the positive attitude towards life A. His coach. B.His grandfather. C.His teacher. D.His father.
Why did David work with lecturers under a research-based curriculum A. He wanted to take a job in a college. B. He took the classes that Connor hadn't finished. C. He wanted to prevent similar sad stories repeating. D. He honored Connor for what he had done in the community.
C
Doctors and nutritionists have been telling that one should not eat right before going to bed. However, one should also not eat late at night, according to a recent study. It has been said that when we eat late at night, we're going against our body's rhythm.
According to the researchers from Brigham and Women's Hospital, eating late at night increases the risk of obesity and weight gain.The analysis of the study revealed that the time when a person eats their last meal impacts the calories burned, appetite and how the body stores fat.
To conduct their study, a total of 16 participants with the body mass index(BMI)that is of the obese range or considered overweight were studied. Every one was given the same meal sand they were divided into two groups: The first group was required to eat their meals early in the day and the other with each meal 250 minutes late.
The team of researchers found that eating late had a significant impact on the regulation of hunger hormones. The level of leptin(瘦蛋白)inhibits(抑制）the human appetite. It was reduced across the period of 24 hours due to late eating. It was observed that eating late doubled the chance of being hungry. When participants ate later, they burned calories at a much slower rate.
In a press release the first author Nina Vujovic said,“In this study, we asked a simple question,‘Does the time that we eat matter when everything else is kept consistent ' and we found that eating four hours later makes a major difference to the hunger levels, the way calories burn after we eat, and the way our body stores fat.”
This study adds to a growing body of evidence showing just how important meal timing can be when it comes to body weight. Based on what this and other studies have shown, people who are watching their weight may want to get rid of the late night snacks and eat most of their meals earlier in the day.
What's the difference between the two groups in paragraph 3
A. The variety of the diet. B. The fat content in their meals.
C. The calories in their meals. D. Their eating schedules.
29. What can we do to beat obesity according to the study
A. Avoid eating late at night.
B. Keep a moderate sense of hunger.
C. Abandon consuming food low in fat.
D. Make sure to have supper at a set time.
30. What does the underlined word“It”in paragraph 4 refer to
A. The human appetite. B. The leptin level.
C. The body mass index. D. The chance of being hungry.
31. From which is the text probably taken
A. A health magazine. B. A biology textbook.
C. A travel brochure. D. A biography.
D
Each year,as many as one billion birds are killed in the US from collisions(相撞)with glass windows and buildings every year.Birds that crashed into Philadelphia buildings began to be collected in the 1890s. Nearly 100 species of birds are known to have died out from crashes with buildings and other structures in Philadelphia. Many other species are probably affected in the city.
Called Lights Out Philly, the voluntary program in Philadelphia encourages buildings to turn out or dim unnecessary external and internal lights between midnight and six o'clock early in the morning to protect birds as they pass through during migration seasons.
Bird migration seasons are from April l to May 31 in spring and from August 15 to November 15 in fall. Each year, millions of birds pass through Philadelphia along a migration route known as the Atlantic Flyway. Bird-glass crashes are very common for migrating birds, most of which travel at night. Glass is difficult for them to recognize as hard surfaces, and artificial light can fool them into crashing with buildings and outdoor structures. Turning off lights between midnight and sunrise helps minimize the effect of artificial light when most birds are migrating.
On Oct.2, 2020, a stormy and foggy day, Philadelphia had its largest mass collision event in more than 70 years with an estimated 1,000 birds crashing with buildings in one 3.5-square block area in just one day. Paired with a terrible storm of weather and fog conditions, the bright city and building lights attracted and confused the migrating birds, causing them to crash with buildings and outdoor structures.
Even if you don't play a part in managing the lights of a big building,you can help birds avoid crashes by making the glass opaque to reduce the amount and intensity of artificial light at night, changing the color of lighting to blue or green, shortening the duration lights are on, directing the lighting downward or screening lighting.
32.What is the first paragraph mainly about
A. The rich biological diversity in Philadelphia,
B. Great efforts to protect migrating birds in Philadelphia.
C. The present and the past of the bird conservation in America.
D. The serious consequence of bird-glass crashes in Philadelphia.
33.What added the danger to the migrating birds on Oct.2,2020
A. Bad weather conditions. B. Traveling in the day.
C. The mistaken route. D. Too many buildings.
34.What does the underlined word“opaque”mean in the last paragraph
A.Light-reflecting. B.Delicate.
C.Lightproof. D. Clean.
35.What is the best title for the text
A. It Is Difficult to Save the Migrating Birds
B. Philadelphia Turns out Lights to Save Migrating Birds
C. External and Internal Lights Affect the Bird Migration
D. Lights Out Philly Program Helps Save Endangered Birds

Many pet owners desire to talk with their animals. After all, if pets were able to talk, people could take care of them more easily and have closer emotional connections to them, so a number of companies are working on devices and apps that could help understand what animals have to say.
One such app is called MeowTalk. 36 For example, one type of sound might mean “feed me” while another could be translated “let me outside.” The app can use machine learning to assess its translations and improve at identifying one particular cat’s vocalizations. 37
For dogs, a Japanese company called Inupathy has developed a harness (系带) with a heart rate monitor to record dogs’ heart rate and thus assess dogs’ emotional state. 38 The harness also has a light that turns red when the dog is excited, but when the dog is relaxed, the light is blue.
The most obvious application of this technology is to help pet owners empathize (共情) with and provide for their pets better. 39 There are other uses for technology that help us understand animals. For example, some sheep farmers are using artificial intelligence to scan animals’ faces and determine if they are in pain, which helps them identify sick animals. 40
Anyone who interacts regularly with animals could benefit from understanding their animals better. Thus these technological developments might transform the way we interact with the creatures around us. Maybe in the near future, we can interact with our furry friends more effectively.
A. Consequently, they can step in more quickly.
B. That’s why owners can cure their pets by themselves.
C. That’s because different voice indicates various emotions.
D. The more owners understand their pets, the easier it is to meet their needs.
E. Using voice recognition, it identifies different sounds and offers translations.
F. It’s possible because, like humans, it goes up when they are excited or stressed.
G. It’s important because an individual uses specific sounds to mean certain things.

The very ancient poetry that was written 1000 or more years ago was simpler and about common things 59 love, romance and nature that people appreciate. 60 much poetry was written in the eras following the Song Dynasty, it is thought the poets became 61 (increase) academic and abstract so that modern Chinese can’t appreciate the style and meaning.

第二节 (满分25分)
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。
When I was a child,my mother told my sister,who had a 10-inch very obvious scar(伤 疤)on her arm,“Nancy, if you ignore the scar, other people will ignore it. It does not mean they will not notice it, but it means it will not matter to them if it doesn't matter to you,”
It never occurred to me that something like this would happen to my son years later.Sending a child off to college can certainly be stressful for concerned parents.It was 2018 that my son went off to college. He rarely contacted us. I couldn't help asking about other aspects,which sometimes made him complain that I didn't treat him as an adult.
To be honest,my son is excellent.Some of my friends always tell me that they admire my son's characters and they hope their sons could have some of them.
Unexpectedly,it was 4 o'clock in the morning in 2020,when I received the phone call.“This is the emergency room calling and your son was just brought in with severe burns on his face, neck and arms. We have called for an aircraft and are going to fly him to the burn unit in Seattle.”Seattle was 350 miles from his college,so we knew immediately this was serious
The doctor described the reason,which caused the burns. At 6 am, my son and his friends decided to barbecue hamburgers in the courtyard of their apartment. When they lit the charcoal, it burst into flames because they had sprayed too much gasoline. The flames caught my son's shirt tail and shot from his waist to well over his head.
Fortunately,one of the boys who was quick-minded grasped my son and rolled him on the grass.While it saved his life, it was not in shape to save him from severe burns and the terrible scars.
After he recovered from the treatments,the doctors told him they would not do plastic surgery for 6 months because it takes that long for the skin to stop shrinking and wrinkling.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；

The doctors suggested he return to college with scars of severe burns temporarily.
So I told him about Nancy's childhood.
