36.has been passed 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:冲桑村被认为是西藏木刻艺术的发源地,这一传统已经传承了300多年。根据空后的“for more than 300 years”可知,此处应用现在完成时;分析句子结构可知,此处为that引导的定语从句,that指代先行词a tradition,与pass之间是被动关系,因此应用现在完成时的被动语态;且a tradition为单数形式,从句谓语动词也应用第三人称单数形式。故填 has been passed。
37.located 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,本句中已有谓语has,故此处应用非谓语动词。此处表示“位于西藏江达县波罗乡的这个村庄拥有60多名木刻艺术家”,主语The village与locate之间是被动关系,此处应用过去分词作定语。故填located。
38.It 考查代词。句意:要在山路上开车三个多小时才能到达那里,这段旅程既需要驾驶/驾驶员的技术,又需要勇气。此处构成固定句式:It takes+一段时间+to do sth.,意为“做某事花费多长时间”。故填It。注意首字母大写。

40.villagers 考查名词复数。句意:据村民们介绍,这家印刷厂80%以上的木刻印版是在冲桑生产的。villager 是可数名词,且其前无限定词修饰,此处应用其复数形式。故填villagers。
41.began 考查动词的时态。句意:大约300年前,一位名叫Kolha Lugye的大师在我们村开创了木刻艺术的传统,此后这一传统代代相传。分析句子可知,设空处为主句的谓语,根据时间状语“Around three hundred years ago”可知,此处应用一般过去时。故填began。
42.which 考查定语从句。设空处无提示词,空前为介词after,与前面的句子用逗号隔开,逗号前句子意思完整,不缺成分,故推测“after 42 the tradition has been passed down for generations”为非限制性定语从句。此处表示“在这之后,这个传统代代相传”,应用 after which 引导非限制性定语从句,which指代前面整个主句的内容。故填which。
43.greatly 考查副词。分析句子结构可知,此处应用副词修饰has contributed。故填greatly。
44.an 考查冠词。句意:村里的另一位木刻艺术家Tsultrim Darje平均每天工作11个小时。 an average of...意为“平均……”。故填 an。

Paragraph 1:
I gathered my courage and knocked at his door. As expected, his face turned purple immediately. He glared at me like a bull. “You have your whole life to work,” he said, “but your playing days are limited. You can't afford to waste them.” I stood before him with my head down. “How much will you be paid ” he asked. “$12.25 per hour.” “Well,” he shrugged. “Is $12.25 an hour the price of a dream ”
Paragraph 2:
That question reminded me of what my coach used to say. Yes, the dream is priceless. It's stupid to earn pocket money at the expense of my dream. I held my head high and said firmly, “Sorry, Mr. Jarvis. I know what to do next.” My coach smiled with great satisfaction. That summer I dedicated myself to baseball training. And one year later, I obtained a baseball scholarship to the university. I knew I would soon buy my mom a house. Thankfully, I made a right choice. Without Mr. Jarvis, I would never know I could afford a dream.朝鲜族中学2023-2024学年高二上学期第一次月考

Haley Curfman, 25, of Blackwell, Oklahoma, is a teacher at Blackwell Public School and last year she bought a plain (朴素的) white dress, which she set up a station in her classroom for her students to decorate, encouraging them to go and draw on the dress whenever they had free time. Haley set up a station at a table with the dress and some colored markers so that her students could draw on it, having first seen the idea on Pinterest.
After the kids had finished the design, she then surprised them all by wearing the dress to class, sharing pictures of herself in it on Facebook in a post that has since been shared over 200,000 times.
For teachers looking to do something similar for their own students, Haley said that she bought the dress from Amazon for less than $20 about six months ago and pre washed the dress before she started the project. She used markers from Walmart. But she said these things can be bought in other places. She said, “To do the project, I set up a station at a table with the dress and markers. It takes anywhere from two weeks to a month to complete as we just work on it here and there when time allows. You'd better give the students enough time so they don't have to hurry.”
“Teachers have been sharing their dresses, T shirts, etc. with me that they've been creating since the 1950s with the same idea. It is amazing, and I love the fact that you are sharing them with me! Thank you all so much for your kindness and support,” she wrote on Facebook.
Asked why she came up with the idea, Haley told Scary Mommy, “We don't have art in our school, so I always try to do little creative projects when possible.”
24.What did Haley use the plain white dress to do
A.To teach her students painting.
B.To prepare for her presentation.
C.To ask her students to draw on it.
D.To help her students with their homework.
25.What do we know about the finished dress
A.It took Haley by surprise.
B.It is kept by Haley at home.
C.It is the product of a new idea.
D.It has enjoyed popularity online.
26.What should a teacher do if he or she wants to follow Haley's example

B.Give the kids enough time.
C.Buy the same markers in Walmart.
D.Leave the finished work untouched.
27.Why did Haley carry out the project
A.To excite her students' creativity.
B.To show her idea on Pinterest.
C.To share it with other teachers.
D.To teach her students art.
Passage C
People often talk about cultural differences between Western and Eastern countries, but how about the Western world itself Surprisingly, a closer look at it can reveal a good many curious details.
The most obvious characteristic of the majority of Americans is that they smile a lot. It does not matter whether they have a strong reason to smile; they do it, sometimes simply because they have to. A smile is not just a powerful marketing tool but also a way to show that someone is friendly, and that life in general is fine. Europeans, on the contrary, prefer to keep a more neutral(不动声色的)facial expression. They smile mostly when they are in a good mood, or amused; if not, a European's face will remain neutral, or even dull. In Russia, for example, there is a proverb saying that laughing for no reason is a sign of a fool. It does not mean that Europeans are serious, or that they do not have a sense of humour.
The same refers to communication in general. Americans are extremely communicative; small talk and chats are common. Europeans talk mostly when there is something to say, and rarely enter communication just for the purpose of talking to other people. American people prefer to express what they think carefully, considering how it might affect surrounding people. Europeans are more straightforward, even with unfamiliar people. A European friend will almost always voice his opinion on different occasions, and will not hesitate to remind you that you need to lose some weight or have a shave.
It can be said that Americans are people of contrasts. They are open minded, flexible, and ready to accept everything new enthusiastically; but at the same time, American society manages to bring up unbelievable conservatives(保守者). Americans place a high value on being politically correct, which, in most cases, is indeed a secure and beneficial practice, but it can also mess up daily or even private communication, sometimes preventing having close relationships. Europeans, on the contrary, are more straightforward, preferring to tell the truth in direct ways. Each way of communication is different—neither is correct or incorrect.
28.What does the author say about smiling
A.It is a powerful marketing tool across cultures.
B.It is culture related within Western countries.
C.It is thought of as a sign of a fool in America.
D.It is regarded as a social necessity in Europe.
29.What is typical of Europeans' communication
A.Beating around the bush.
B.Hiding their feelings carefully.
C.Expressing themselves openly.
D.Having small talk and chats.
30.What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to
A.Being politically correct.
B.Being straightforward.
C.Accepting everything new.
D.Raising unbelievable conservatives.
31.What is the passage mainly talking about
A.Ways of communication in American society.
B.Ways of communication in European society.
C.The differences between Americans and Europeans.
D.Cultural differences in Western countries.
Passage D
For centuries, mankind and dogs have suffered from a communication failure. We can tell dogs what we want them to do and sometimes they comply(服从), but we've always struggled when it comes to understanding the true meaning of their barks and whimpers. There is exciting news now—a dog translator has been invented to help you communicate with your furry friend.
Researchers at North Carolina State University have fashioned a kind of magical dog translator harness(背带). What's special about it is that it doesn't just rely on the dog's vocalizations to interpret what they are banging on about.
Oh no—this magical harness reads and interprets the ordinary dogs' body language as well, giving us a full two way dog communication experience.
Researcher David Roberts says,“Dogs communicate primarily through body language, and one of our challenges is to develop sensors that tell us about their behavior by observing their posture remotely.”
Sensors on the harness monitor the dog's heart rate and body temperature and software builds up a vocabulary, letting the human know what the dog is feeling.
What would dogs say if they could talk to us The human can even communicate with the dog through the harness thanks to vibration motors, supposedly by tapping into the dog's senses so that it can understand what you're trying to say to it.
The dog harness is designed for dogs involved in search and rescue and other front line work, but it's got us dreaming of a beautiful future, one where humans and dogs can coexist as equals, with the dog able to fully express itself at all times.
32.Why can't people communicate with dogs
A.They have difficulty understanding dogs' barks and whimpers.
B.They have no idea about dogs' behavior in relation to their posture.
C.They don't know how to tell dogs what they want them to do.
D.They don't have a machine to translate the dogs' language.
33.What does the underlined word most probably mean in Paragraph 2
A.Bought. B.Researched. C.Influenced. D.Made.
34.For what purpose is the dog harness designed
A.It is designed for dogs to understand what people are trying to say to them.
B.It is designed for dogs to communicate with people through body language.
C.It is designed to monitor the dog's heart rate and body temperature.
D.It is designed for dogs doing search and rescue and other front line work.
35.What is the author's attitude towards the possible human dog communication
A.Shocked. B.Excited. C.Embarrassed. D.Annoyed.
七选五

I grew up in a poor family with six brothers, three sisters, my father and mother. We had little money and few goods, but plenty of love and attention. I was happy and energetic. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, he could still afford a dream.
My dream was athletics. By the time I was sixteen, I could throw a ninety mile per hour fastball and hit anything moving on the football field. And I was so lucky that my high school coach was Ollie Jarvis, who not only believed in me, but often told me “The dream is priceless.” However, when I was about to get off the ground, one particular incident happened, which almost ruined my long held dream.
It was the summer holiday in Senior Two and a friend recommended me for a summer job. I was offered $12.25 per pared with the average $3.5, that was a big sum. I was so excited, because this meant a chance for money in my pocket, certainly, money for a new bike and new clothes, and the start of savings for a house for my mother. The prospect(前景)of the job was inviting, and I wanted to jump at the opportunity.
Then I realized I would have to give up summer baseball training to handle the work schedule. I didn't dare to tell my coach. I thought of the advice my mother often gave me when I lacked courage, “If you make your bed, you have to lie in it.” I decided to talk to my coach in person. After all, my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth facing his disappointment to me.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。

I gathered my courage and knocked at his door.
