高二年级英语学科
第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分37.5分)
第一节(共10小题;每小题2.5分，满分25分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
Science fiction pioneer and writer Wu Yan won the National Outstanding Children’s literature Award for his latest work China Orbit. The book focuses on the development of the Chinese aerospace industry, and it was inspired by the planning and preparation for China’s first but canceled manned spacecraft, “Shuguang 1”, also known as Project 714, during the late 1960s and early 1970s.
“I collected many historical documents and stories and started writing decades ago, Wu remembered. Partly based on Wu’s own experiences in the 1970s, the book is a combination of reality and fiction, and in some ways his own memoir (传记) was added into the science fiction. This innovative and unique writing method makes the book stand out and has even stirred up a debate on how to categorize it. Is it science fiction, popular science, children’s literature, or aerospace literature
His fellow science fiction writer Liu Cixin, author of The Three-Body Problem, sees it more deeply, and believes China Orbit is not really children’s science fiction or popular science. He thinks it is too complicated to be classed under a single category. He speaks highly of China Orbit as a unique science fiction novel that vividly shows a child’s real-life experience in a military of a specific era.
In Wu’s opinion, China is a big market for children’s science fiction, but it still lacks extraordinary works. He warned people not to try to earn quick money from it after The Three-BodyProblem frenzy (狂热) and movie blockbuster (轰动) The Wondering Earth because Chinese science fiction still has a long way to go. We need to build Chinese science fiction step by step, with an accumulation of really great works. We need to innovate, and treat it as part of building China’s new culture.
11. What is the book China Orbit mainly about
A. The space industry in China.
B. The introduction to Project 714.
C. Stories about Chinese outstanding astronauts.
D. Preparations for China’s first manned spacecraft.
12. What is Wu’s approach to writing China Orbit
A. He organizes the writing by time.
B. He tells the story in the form of debate.
C. He focuses on creating the role of children.
D. He combines his personal experiences with fiction.
13. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. China Obit has great commercial value.
B. Chinese science movies are of poor quality.
C. Innovation is crucial to Chinese science fiction.
D. Wu Yan is disappointed at the Chinese film market.

Named “America’s Finest City” due to its hospitality beauty and ideal climate, San Diego is located on the border with Mexico. The residents are so active outdoors that it is called “Sportstown, the U.S.A.”. San Diego’s 70 miles of beaches are a heaven for swimmers, surfers, divers, boaters and sunbathers. Another favourite outside activity is golf. With 100 courses (about 50 of them public), San Diego is a golfers’ paradise. Many San Diego residents came here first as tourists, who were attracted by San Diego’s sunny beaches, nearby mountains and deserts, plus the cultural delights of any big city. The world-famous San Diego Zoo, SeaWorld Adventure Park, Wild Animal Park, museums and other attractions attract visitors from around the world.
The zoo is home to some 4,000 animals, including the world’s largest group of parrots. Animals are displayed in natural settings, and there is a petting zoo for children. By contrast, the Wild Animal Park is a wildlife preserve with an area of over 2,000 acres and more than 3,000 free-roaming (自由漫步的) animals in natural habitats.
In addition to housing the zoo, Balboa Park is home to several museums and attractions, including an aerospace museum, an art and history museum, the Old Globe Theatre, science museums and even a railroad museum. Free concerts are offered frequently. Another popular attraction is the SeaWorld, a 190-acre marine park.
San Diego’s varied attractions, as well as its business climate, offer many opportunities for students to explore the local culture, meet people from around the world, and gain business experience. At San Diego State University, for example, students in the American Language Institute’s study tour program learn English both in the classroom and while sightseeing.
14. What do the residents of San Diego probably like to do
A. Have sports outdoors. B. Travel to other places.
C Stay at home. D. Stay outdoors all day.
15. Why do many San Diego residents come to settle down here
A. Because it is more convenient to live here.
B Because they are attracted by its beauty and culture.
C. Because they can make money from tourism here.
D. Because it is a quiet place to enjoy themselves.
16 Which of the following most attracts children
A. The SeaWorld Adventure park. B. The art and history museum.
C. The petting zoo. D. The Old Globe Theatre.

Government agencies and volunteer groups in many places are using sea creatures to protect coastal areas from storms and rising sea levels. The idea is that large groups of oysters (牡蛎) known as colonies, can help reduce the power of waves. Powerful waves can damage lands along the edge of ocean waters.
Oysters may play an important part in dealing with the problem. Oysters are central to a project that is taking place near Vaccaro’s rebuilt house. The project is being carried out by the Littore Society. It received $1 million from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. The group has been building steel wire containers, filling them with rocks and whelk (海螺) shells an positioning them along the shoreline of Barnegat Bay.
Tiny baby oysters are attached to whelk shells and placed in the existing cages to further strengthen the shoreline. The shoreline in Vaccaro’s neighborhood has lost 46 meters of beach since 1995, the Littoral Society says.
The oysters appear to be doing their job. One recent day, a strong east wind blew across the bay. But between the oysters and the shoreline, the water was much calmer, and waves gently wen onto the shoreline instead of hitting it with force.
As an added benefit, the oysters help improve water quality in the bay. The Associated Press reports that a single oyster can filter (过滤) up to 190 liters of water a day.
A few kilometers south, a group called ReClam the Bay is building an oyster reef to protect the shoreline of Mordecai Island. People do not live on the island, but it protects the shoreline of Beach Haven, a town on Long Beach Island.
Volunteers fill bags with 16 kilograms of whelk shells, to which millions of baby oysters have been attached. Then volunteers move them out to the reef a few hundred yards into the ocean. They have placed 10, 000 bags of oysters and whelk shells there since 2015.
17. Where do the baby oysters grow
A. On the sea rocks. B. In steel wire cages.
C. In shallow calm water. D. In the fishermen’s houses.
18. What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 4
A. The sea life project works. B. The baby oysters grow well.
C. The beach stops missing. D. The sea pollution is dropping.
19. What do we know about ReClam the Bay
A. It cooperates with the Littoral Society.
B. It offers baby oysters to the Littoral Society.
C. It has the same aim as the Littoral Society.
D. It has made more progress than the Littoral Society.
20. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Oyster Farming Has Great Benefits
B. Volunteer Ocean Protection Is in Action
C. Worldwide Beaches Are Disappearing Fast
D. Little Sea Creature Could Save Coastal Land

Perhaps the question is not “Will robots replace teachers ” but “How can robots help teachers ” Office workers can use software to do things. ____25____ If robots could cut the time teachers spend marking homework and writing reports, teachers would have more time and energy for the parts of the job humans do best.

She tried different methods until one day she came home with a canvas (画布) and paint. “What’s this ”, Rick asked. Rick’s mom handed over the painting equipment and said, “Whenever you feel angry, paint whatever you’re angry about instead of bursting out.” Rick wasn’t that happy about it but he gave it a try anyway. Over the next few weeks, the young boy created several artworks. They mostly showed disturbing images though. So his mom took all of the paintings and called Rick over so that they could talk about them. “Tell me, Rick. What are these paintings about ”

And the last painting is about how one of my schoolmate’s father suggested that I change my attitude. All of them make me so angry.” Rick’s mom, in a calm voice, took Rick by her side and told him: “Don’t you see it, Rick ” “See what ” Rick asked. “You’re so angry at all of these things but not once did you try to understand why you’re getting so angry.

Government agencies and volunteer groups in many places are using sea creatures to protect coastal areas from storms and rising sea levels. The idea is that large groups of oysters (牡蛎) known as colonies, can help reduce the power of waves. Powerful waves can damage lands along the edge of ocean waters.
Oysters may play an important part in dealing with the problem. Oysters are central to a project that is taking place near Vaccaro’s rebuilt house. The project is being carried out by the Littore Society. It received $1 million from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. The group has been building steel wire containers, filling them with rocks and whelk (海螺) shells an positioning them along the shoreline of Barnegat Bay.
Tiny baby oysters are attached to whelk shells and placed in the existing cages to further strengthen the shoreline. The shoreline in Vaccaro’s neighborhood has lost 46 meters of beach since 1995, the Littoral Society says.
The oysters appear to be doing their job. One recent day, a strong east wind blew across the bay. But between the oysters and the shoreline, the water was much calmer, and waves gently wen onto the shoreline instead of hitting it with force.
As an added benefit, the oysters help improve water quality in the bay. The Associated Press reports that a single oyster can filter (过滤) up to 190 liters of water a day.
A few kilometers south, a group called ReClam the Bay is building an oyster reef to protect the shoreline of Mordecai Island. People do not live on the island, but it protects the shoreline of Beach Haven, a town on Long Beach Island.
Volunteers fill bags with 16 kilograms of whelk shells, to which millions of baby oysters have been attached. Then volunteers move them out to the reef a few hundred yards into the ocean. They have placed 10, 000 bags of oysters and whelk shells there since 2015.
17. Where do the baby oysters grow
A. On the sea rocks. B. In steel wire cages.
C. In shallow calm water. D. In the fishermen’s houses.
18. What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 4
A. The sea life project works. B. The baby oysters grow well.
C. The beach stops missing. D. The sea pollution is dropping.
19. What do we know about ReClam the Bay
A. It cooperates with the Littoral Society.
B. It offers baby oysters to the Littoral Society.
C. It has the same aim as the Littoral Society.
D. It has made more progress than the Littoral Society.
20. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Oyster Farming Has Great Benefits
B. Volunteer Ocean Protection Is in Action
C. Worldwide Beaches Are Disappearing Fast

【答案】17. B 18. A 19. C 20. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人们利用牡蛎保护沿海地区免受强大海浪的破坏。
【17题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段中的“The group has been building steel wire containers, filling them with rocks and whelk (海螺) shells an positioning them along the shoreline of Barnegat Bay. (该组织一直在建造钢丝集装箱，用石头和青螺壳填充集装箱，并将其放置在巴内加特湾的海岸线上)”和第三段中的“Tiny baby oysters are attached to whelk shells and placed in the existing cages to further strengthen the shoreline. (小牡蛎宝宝附着在青螺壳上，放在现有的笼子里，以进一步加强海岸线)”可知，牡蛎宝宝生长在钢丝笼中。故选B项。
【18题详解】
推理判断题。由第四段“The oysters appear to be doing their job. One recent day, a strong east wind blew across the bay. But between the oysters and the shoreline, the water was much calmer, and waves gently wen onto the shoreline instead of hitting it with force. (牡蛎似乎在做它们的工作。最近的一天，一股强劲的东风吹过海湾。但在牡蛎和海岸线之间，海水平静得多，海浪轻轻地拍打着海岸线，而不是猛烈地撞击海岸线)”可知，在阻止强大的海浪破坏海水边缘陆地，牡蛎发挥了作用。所以作者在第四段想告诉我们海洋生物项目起作用了。故选A项。
【19题详解】
推理判断题。由第一段中的“Powerful waves can damage lands along the edge of ocean waters. (强大的海浪会破坏海水边缘的陆地)”，第二段中的“Oysters may play an important part in dealing with the problem. Oysters are central to a project that is taking place near Vaccaro’s rebuilt house. The project is being carried out by the Littore Society. (牡蛎可能在解决这个问题中发挥重要作用。牡蛎是瓦卡罗重建房屋附近的一个项目的中心。该项目由Littore Society执行)”和倒数第二段中的“A few kilometers south, a group called ReClam the Bay is building an oyster reef to protect the shoreline of Mordecai Island. (向南几公里，一个名为ReClam the Bay的组织正在建造牡蛎礁，以保护Mordecai岛的海岸线)”可知，ReClam the Bay和Littore Society的目标是一样的——用牡蛎保护海岸线。故选C项。
【20题详解】
主旨大意题。由第一段“Government agencies and volunteer groups in many places are using sea creatures to protect coastal areas from storms and rising sea levels. The idea is that large groups of oysters (牡蛎) known as colonies, can help reduce the power of waves. Powerful waves can damage lands along the edge of ocean waters. (许多地方的政府机构和志愿者团体正在利用海洋生物保护沿海地区免受风暴和海平面上升的影响。其想法是，被称为群体的大型牡蛎可以帮助减少海浪的威力。强大的海浪会破坏海水边缘的陆地)”，第二段中的“Oysters may play an important part in dealing with the problem. Oysters are central to a project that is taking place near Vaccaro’s rebuilt house. The project is being carried out by the Littore Society. (牡蛎可能在解决这个问题中发挥重要作用。牡蛎是瓦卡罗重建房屋附近的一个项目的中心。该项目由Littore Society执行)”和倒数第二段中的“A few kilometers south, a group called ReClam the Bay is building an oyster reef to protect the shoreline of Mordecai Island. (向南几公里，一个名为ReClam the Bay的组织正在建造牡蛎礁，以保护Mordecai岛的海岸线)”可知，文章讲述了人们利用牡蛎保护沿海地区免受强大海浪的破坏，D项“小海洋生物可以拯救沿海土地”符合文意。故选D项。
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。
If you think of the jobs robots could never do, you would probably put doctors and teachers at the top of the list. It’s easy to imagine robot cleaners and factory workers, but some jobs need human connection and creativity. But are we underestimating (低估) what robots can do ____21____ Also, some patients might feel more comfortable sharing personal information with a machine than a person.____22____
British education expert Anthony Seldon thinks so. And he even has a date for the robot takeover of the classroom: 2027. ____23____ And teachers will be like assistants. Intelligent robots will read students’ facial expressions, body movements and maybe even brain signals. Then they will adapt the information to each student. It’s not a popular opinion and it’s unlikely robots will ever have empathy (同感) and the ability to really connect with humans like another human can.
One thing is certain, though. ____24____ In some parts of the world, there aren’t enough teachers and 9-16 percent of children under the age of 14 don’t go to school. That problem could be partly solved by robots because they can teach anywhere.
Teachers all over the world are leaving because it is a difficult job and they feel overworked. Perhaps the question is not “Will robots replace teachers ” but “How can robots help teachers ” Office workers can use software to do things. ____25____ If robots could cut the time teachers spend marking homework and writing reports, teachers would have more time and energy for the parts of the job humans do best.
A. Teachers can be replaced by robots.
B. A robot teacher is better than no teacher at all.
C. Teachers waste a lot of time doing non-teaching work.
D. He predicts robots will do the main job of transferring information.
E. Could there be a place for robots in education after all
F. Robots can save time that teachers spend in teaching in classroom.
G. In some cases, they already perform better than doctors at diagnosing (诊断) illness.
【答案】21. G 22. E 23. D 24. B 25. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讨论了机器人在医生和教师等职业中的潜力，并提出了机器人可能在教室中替代教师的观点。文章指出，虽然机器人可能无法像人类一样建立情感和连接，但它们可以在教育领域发挥重要的辅助作用。
【21题详解】
根据前文“But are we underestimating (低估) what robots can do ( 但我们是否低估了机器人的能力 )”可知，此处提出疑问即我们是否低估了机器人的能力。后文设空处应该对此问题进行回复。G选项“In some cases, they already perform better than doctors at diagnosing (诊断) illness.( 在某些情况下，它们在诊断疾病方面的表现已经超过了医生。)”承接前文，指出在某些情况下，机器人在诊断疾病方面已经超过了医生，回答前文提出的问题，符合语境。故选G。
【22题详解】
根据后文“British education expert Anthony Seldon thinks so. And he even has a date for the robot takeover of the classroom: 2027. (英国教育专家Anthony Seldon认为是这样。他甚至还为机器人接管教室定下了日期：2027年。)”可知，此处强调Anthony Seldon认为机器人能够在教育中起到作用，甚至还为机器人接管教师定下了日期。E选项“Could there be a place for robots in education after all (机器人到底能在教育中占有一席之地吗 )”引起下文，提出是否机器人能够在教育中占有一席之地，后文对此问题进行回答，符合语境。故选E。
【23题详解】
根据前文“ And he even has a date for the robot takeover of the classroom: 2027.(他甚至还为机器人接管教室定下了日期：2027年。)”以及后文“And teachers will be like assistants.(老师就像助手一样。)”可知，此处强调在未来Anthony Seldon为机器人接管教室定下了日期：2027年。D选项“He predicts robots will do the main job of transferring information.(他预测机器人将承担传递信息的主要工作。)”指出在未来的机器人接管教室中，机器人将承担传递信息的主要工作，而老师则像助手一样。故选D。
【24题详解】
根据前文“One thing is certain, though. (不过，有一件事是肯定的。)”以及后文“ In some parts of the world, there aren’t enough teachers and 9-16 percent of children under the age of 14 don’t go to school.(在世界上的一些地方，没有足够的教师，9- 16%的14岁以下儿童没有上学。)”可知，此处有一件事是肯定的，这件事能够解决世界上某些地区没有足够教师的问题。B选项“A robot teacher is better than no teacher at all.(机器人老师总比没有老师好。)”中指出事实即机器人老师总比没有老师好，这样能够解决世界上有些地区没有足够老师的问题，符合语境。故选B。
【25题详解】
根据后文“ If robots could cut the time teachers spend marking homework and writing reports, teachers would have more time and energy for the parts of the job humans do best.( 如果机器人能减少教师批改作业和写报告的时间，教师就会有更多的时间和精力从事人类最擅长的工作。)”可知，此处强调机器人能够减少教师批改作业和写报告的时间，这样会给老师节留更多的时间和精力，由此此处可表达老师在非教学的工作中存在浪费时间的问题。C选项“Teachers waste a lot of time doing non-teaching work.(教师在非教学工作上浪费了很多时间。)”与下文形成呼应，指出老师在非教学工作中浪费很多时间。故选C。

第二节单句语法填空(共10小题;每小题1.5分，满分15分)
根据句子结构的语法性，在下面空格处填入一个适当的词语或使用括号中词语的适当形式填空。
41. Spring had moved away ___________ (temporary), and snow fell silently and covered Pop-Pop’s chair.(所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】temporarily
【解析】
【详解】考查副词。句意：春天暂时离开了，雪花无声地飘落，盖住了爷爷的椅子。空格处用副词修饰动词短语，temporary的副词是temporarily，意为“暂时地，临时地”。故填temporarily。
42. In certain licensed zoos, animal experts will make sure that the koalas ___________ (select) for each session are in a good state for human contact. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】selected
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：在某些有执照的动物园里，动物专家会确保每次被选中的考拉都处于良好的状态，以便与人接触。that从句中谓语是are，空格处用非谓语动词，koalas和select之间是逻辑动宾关系，因此空格处用过去分词表被动，故填selected。
43. They test out the machine________ a regular basis in case there may be something wrong with it.(用适当的词填空)
【答案】on
【解析】
【详解】考查介词。句意：他们定期对这台机器进行测试，以防有什么毛病。分析句子，句中on a regular basis为固定短语，意为“定期”。故填on。
44. The small room contained the sum total of the family’s ___________ (possess). (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】possessions
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意：这个小房间里装着这家人的全部财产。family’s后跟名词，possess的名词是possession，此处表示“财产”，要用复数，故填possessions。
45. The pen my father gave me as a birthday gift ___________ (write) smoothly. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】writes
【解析】
【详解】考查时态和主谓一致。句意：我父亲作为生日礼物送给我的那支钢笔写起来很流畅。write意为“写起来”，和pen之间是主动关系，句子描述客观事实，时态用一般现在时，主语pen是单数，因此空格处用第三人称单数，故填writes。
46. The event ______(broadcast) live next Friday morning will honor those who have made outstanding contributions in this field. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】to be broadcast##to be broadcasted
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：将于下星期五上午现场直播的活动将向那些在这一领域做出杰出贡献的人们致敬。根据句意和句子结构，句子的谓语动词为honor，所以设空处为非谓语动词；根据时间next Friday morning，应用动词不定式的形式，表将来；所给词broadcast与逻辑主语The event之间为动宾关系，应用动词不定式的被动结构，作后置定语；broadcast的过去分词为broadcast或者broadcasted。故填to be broadcast/ to be broadcasted。
47. After reading the introduction, I have ___________ strong urge to pay a visit to the spectacular architecture. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】a
【解析】
【详解】考查冠词。句意：看完介绍后，我有一种强烈的冲动去参观壮观的建筑。短语have a strong urge to表示“有强烈的冲动做某事”。故填a。
48. In ancient times, silk from China found its way overland to India, the Middle East, and Rome, along___________ became known as the Silk Road. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】what
【解析】
【详解】考查宾语从句。句意：在古代，丝绸从中国经由陆路到达印度、中东和罗马，这就是著名的丝绸之路。空格处引导的是宾语从句，从句中缺少主语，此处表示“在古代，丝绸从中国经由陆路到达印度、中东和罗马，这就是著名的丝绸之路”，因此空格处用what引导宾语从句，故填what。
49. All of us ___________ (entitle) to equal protection under the law. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】are entitled
【解析】
【详解】考查时态语态。句意：我们所有人都有权受到法律的平等保护。主语与谓语构成被动关系，结合语境可知发生在过去，用一般现在时的被动语态，主语为All of us，谓语用复数。故填are entitled。
50. I consider ___________ necessary to inform people of the severity of the infection disease. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】it
【解析】
【详解】考查代词。句意：我认为有必要告知人们这种传染病的严重性。consider it necessary to do sth.是固定短语，意为“认为有必要做某事”，其中it是形式宾语，真正的宾语是不定式，故填it。
第四部分写作(共三节，满分55分)
第一节句子考查 (51-55小题，每空0.5分，56-58每小题3分;满分15分)
根据下面各个句子的要求，完成、改写或翻译句子。
51. The tennis player __________ __________ (退出) several tournaments due to injury.(根据汉语提示完成句子)
【答案】 ① withdrew ②. from
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语和时态。句意：这位网球运动员因伤退出了几次锦标赛。“退出”是固定短语withdraw from，句子描述过去的事情，时态用一般过去时，空格处动词用过去式，故填①withdrew，②from。
52. These options provides many advantages. One of those advantages is decreasing the cost of production.(同义句转换)
These options provides many advantages, __________ __________ __________ is decreasing the cost of production.
【答案】 ①. one ②. of ③. which
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：这些选项提供了许多优点。其中一个优点是降低了生产成本。对比两句话可知，空格处替换的是“One of those advantages”，可用advantages作先行词，空格处用“one of+which/whom”引导非限制性定语从句，先行词advantages指物，因此空格处关系代词用which，即one of which。故填①one，②of，③which。
53 It is said that carbon dioxide is heating the earth twice as quickly as previously feared. (同义句转换)
Carbon dioxide is said __________ __________ __________ the earth twice as quickly as previously feared.
【答案】 ①. to ②. be ③. heating
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：据说，二氧化碳对地球的加热速度是以前担心的两倍。It is said that...意为“据说……”，相当于Sb./Sth. be said to do do结构，不定式作主语补足语。根据原句中的is heating可知，heat表示的动作与is said表示的动作同时发生，表示正在进行，所以应用不定式的进行时态。故填to；be；heating。
54. As time went by, I gradually realized the importance of health.(with的复合结构)(同义句转换)
__________ _________ __________ _________, I gradually realized the importance of health.
【答案】 ①. With ②. time ③. going ④. by
【解析】
【详解】考查with复合结构。句意：随着时间的推移，我逐渐意识到健康的重要性。设空处表示“随着时间的流逝”，应用“with+宾语+宾补”复合结构，time与go by之间为主动关系，所以应用现在分词，with位于句首应首字母大写。故填With；time；going；by。
55. Because he was tired from the day’s hard work, he fell asleep soon. (用分词作状语改写句子)
____________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Tired from the day’s hard work, he fell asleep soon.
【解析】
【详解】考查分词作状语。句意：由于一天的劳累，他很快就睡着了。分析句子结构可知，because引导原因状语从句，从句主语he与主句主语he一致，且从句中含有be动词was，可将从句中的he was省略，并将because一并删除，使用形容词化的过去分词tired作状语，tired置于句首，首字母大写。故答案为Tired from the day’s hard work, he fell asleep soon.
56. We are discussing how to spend the summer holidays now. (用被动语态改写句子)
____________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】How to spend the summer holidays is being discussed (by us) now.
【解析】
【详解】考查现在进行时被动语态。句意：我们现在正在讨论如何度过暑假。根据题干要求改写为被动语态。原句为现在进行时的结构，句中how to spend the summer holidays与discuss之间为被动关系，故使用现在进行时被动语态的结构，即am/is/are being done的结构。此处表示“被我们所正在讨论”故使用by us，该短语可以省略。故答案为How to spend the summer holidays is being discussed (by us) now.
57. 人类最基本的需要就是理解和被理解的需要。（用动词不定式翻译句子）（汉译英）
____________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The most basic/fundamental need/requirement is the need to understand and be understood.
【解析】
【详解】考查名词，时态和不定式。句子描述客观事实，时态用一般现在时，“人类最基本的需要”是the most basic/fundamental need/requirement，作主语，“就是”是be动词，“……的需要”是the need to do，是不定式作后置定语，“理解和被理解”是understand and be understood。故翻译为：The most basic/fundamental need/requirement is the need to understand and be understood.

第三节读后续写(满分25分)
59. 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。
Rick, a ten-year-old boy, was constantly angry at everything around him. He always fought in school with the other kids. Once he had an outburst in school. Upset by something a classmate said to him, he pushed the boy, and a fight happened. When the teacher stepped in to break it up, Rick went crazy, throwing papers and books around the classroom and rushing out. His teachers couldn’t say anything that would comfort the kid. And the parents of his schoolmates were getting concerned. Rick was earning quite the reputation. After talking with school officials, Rick’s mom tried everything she could to calm Rick down.
She tried different methods until one day she came home with a canvas (画布) and paint. “What’s this ”, Rick asked. Rick’s mom handed over the painting equipment and said, “Whenever you feel angry, paint whatever you’re angry about instead of bursting out.” Rick wasn’t that happy about it but he gave it a try anyway. Over the next few weeks, the young boy created several artworks. They mostly showed disturbing images though. So his mom took all of the paintings and called Rick over so that they could talk about them. “Tell me, Rick. What are these paintings about ”
“Well, the first painting is about how some of the kids show off their new clothes and pencil cases. The next painting is about my teacher who keeps telling me about how I’m doing things wrong. And the last painting is about how one of my schoolmate’s father suggested that I change my attitude. All of them make me so angry.” Rick’s mom, in a calm voice, took Rick by her side and told him: “Don’t you see it, Rick ” “See what ” Rick asked. “You’re so angry at all of these things but not once did you try to understand why you’re getting so angry. What have all these people done to you, really ”
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Rick was lost in thought.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Rick knew it was time to change.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version
Rick was lost in thought. It slowly dawned on him that people he was angry at had done nothing wrong. His classmates who showed their new clothes and pencil cases to others might just want to share their happiness with friends. His teacher did blame him because he was being a problem. And his schoolmate’s father was just trying to help him correct his mistakes. They had no intention to hurt him but he just let his unreasonable anger consume him and hurt them. How ridiculous he had been!
Rick knew it was time to change. From then on, Rick tried his best to control his temper. Every time he felt he was to explode, he would walk away and ask himself why he was angry and whether it was reasonable to be angry. Then he would find his peace and laughed his anger away. Gradually, everyone saw a different Rick. He no longer shouted at others or threw things away. He chatted with classmates after class and complimented their new clothes and pencil cases.
