When he went outside during the break, John Buettner would dream of learning the monkey-bars. He
uses a wheelchair, so they aren’t accessible to him — in fact, most of the playground at Glen Lake
Elementary School isn’t. Betsy Julien would look out at the students in their wheelchairs, and thought,
“Our playground is not set up for everybody in the school to play and have fun.”
Now, thanks to this teacher and her students, that dream is about to come true in a bigger way.

{#{QQABLYIEggiAQIJAABhCQwVQCAKQkAACAKoOQAAIMAIAyQNABAA=}#}
Last fall, Julien and a few of her colleagues applied for, and won, a grant for an accessible swing and
merry-go-round. The grant fell $35,000 short of the amount the school needed, so Julien asked her class to
help raise the rest.
Her students jumped at the idea and took it a step further. “Why can’t we make the whole playground
accessible ” said Hadley Mangan. They brainstormed ideas on how to raise money: door-knocking,
partnering with restaurants, handing out flyers, and even cold-calling local businesses. They got to work
and reached their goal in a matter of weeks. Now, they aim to raise $1 million so they can completely
transform their playground.
Last week, Julien loaded the students for a field trip to see how the equipment is built and even got to
color in a blueprint of the playground design. Buettner said he could hardly believe how quickly an idea
turned into reality. “All of this equipment is big enough for my friends and I to play on. I just feel some
sense of capability.”
Julien speaks through tears, too, when reflecting on the project and the transformation. “Anything we
raise beyond our goal will go towards accessible equipment at neighboring schools. I hope that the world is
accepting and inclusive for every child.”
24．What’s the problem with the school playground
A．Little playing space. B．Limited accessibility.
C．Poor construction funding. D．Narrow wheelchair passage.
25．What does the underlined phrase “a step further” refer to
A．Donating more money.
B．Achieving original goals.

D．Transforming the whole playground.
26．What can we infer from Buettner’s words
A．He engages more in donation. B．He has more faith in himself.
C．He becomes an expert in sports. D．He gets more involved in contests.
27．What can we learn from Julien’s story
A．Hard work matters. B．Kindness bears fruits.
C．Good ideas win favor. D．Trust promotes friendship.

“Towards thee I roll, thou all-destroying but unconquering (无法征服的） whale; to the last I grapple

with thee; from hell’s heart I stab at thee; for hate’s sake I spit my last breath at thee.” Captain Ahab’s dying
declaration of defiance (抗争) is among the most famous passages in Herman Melville’s novel.
In reality, such victories of the hunted over the hunter were a fantasy in the cruel world of industrial
whaling. The biggest cetacean of them all, the blue whale, had all but disappeared from the Southern Ocean
by the time a ban on hunting it was introduced in 1967.
Sightings of the largest mammal ever to live on the earth had been rare in the region since then. Not
any more. A survey of coastal waters around the island of South Georgia in the sub-Antarctic has had
remarkable results.
In just over three weeks, in the krill-rich waters of what was once their main feeding ground, the
movements of 55 Antarctic blues were recorded by the British Antarctic Survey. The finding was described
as “truly, truly amazing” by one cetacean specialist. It suggests that when a comprehensive audit (审计),
due in 2021, is carried out, there is a good chance that the species will prove to be in full recovery mode, as
are humpbacks and other whales in the southern hemisphere.
Three years ago, the Natural History Museum established a 25m skeleton (骨架) of a blue whale and
named it Hope, intending to inspire new generations to build a sustainable future.
The return of the world’s most splendid ocean travelers to southern waters should serve as an example
for wider possibilities of conservation. Ecological wrongs can be righted, or at least mitigated, with
sufficient will and organizations.
The more general comeback of the whale - for which environmental campaigners should take a great
deal of credit — can be an inspiration for victories yet to be won. It could also act as an added motivation
to action on the climate emergency.
28．What’s the author’s purpose of mentioning the famous passage in Herman Melville’s novel
A．To describe a hunter’s bravery. B．To introduce the topic of the text.
C．To stress the popularity of the novel. D．To offer information about whale hunting.
29．Why was a 25m skeleton of a blue whale named Hope
A．To attract tourists to visit the museum.
B．To show the unkindness of whale hunters.
C．To motivate humans to live harmoniously with nature.
D．To call on people to pay attention to the blue whales’ habitat.
30．What does the underlined word “mitigated” in paragraph 6 probably mean
A．Developed. B．Promoted. C．Reduced. D．Solved.
31．What’s the best title of the text
高二英语试题 第 6 页 共 12 页
{#{QQABLYIEggiAQIJAABhCQwVQCAKQkAACAKoOQAAIMAIAyQNABAA=}#}
A．The blue whales’ comeback B．The cruelty of industrial whaling
C．The importance of protecting whales D．The sustainable development of the Antarctic area

What do you want from life Perhaps you want to spend more time with your family, or get a more
secure job, or improve your health. But why do you want those things Chances are that your answer will
come down to one thing: Happiness.
Yet there is some evidence that too much pursuit of happiness is associated with a greater risk of
depression. Modern conceptions of happiness are primarily practical, focusing on what we might call the
techniques of happiness. The concern is not what happiness is, but instead on how to get it.
But maximizing pleasure isn’t the only option. Every human life, even the most fortunate, is filled
with pain. Painful loss, painful disappointments, the physical pain of injury or sickness, and the mental pain
of long-suffering boredom, loneliness, or sadness. Pain is an unavoidable consequence of being alive. All
the good things in life involve suffering. Writing a novel, running a marathon, or giving birth all cause
suffering in pursuit of the final, joyous result.
There are other factors as well. In the eyes of Aristotle, we get happiness by exercising our uniquely
human capabilities to think and reason. But thinking and reasoning are as much social activities as they are
individual. Happiness requires others; it is not an emotional state so much as it is the excellence of the
relations we cultivate with other people.
But even that cannot guarantee happiness. Aristotle recognized that our happiness is hostage（人质）to
fortune. Events beyond any individual’s control—war, poverty, and global pandemics—will often make
happiness impossible. Happiness is not a mental state that can be permanently won, but instead it’s a
practice which we hone（磨练）, imperfectly, in circumstances only partly of our making.
Recognizing this will not secure a good life, but it will avoid the illusory（虚幻的）hope of permanent
contentment. No life worth living should meet the only standard. Instead, aim with Aristotle to embrace
those faults and to flower in spite of them.
32．Where can you find negative effects of focusing too much on “happiness”
A．In paragraph 2. B．In paragraph 3.
C．In paragraph 4. D．In paragraph 5.
33．How does the author prove that pain is an unavoidable result of being alive
A．By making comparisons. B．By analyzing causes.
C．By giving examples. D．By telling stories.
34．What is Aristotle’s view on happiness
高二英语试题 第 7 页 共 12 页
{#{QQABLYIEggiAQIJAABhCQwVQCAKQkAACAKoOQAAIMAIAyQNABAA=}#}
A．Happiness is a stable emotional state.
B．Good personal relationships lead to happiness.
C．Taking part in social activities guarantees happiness.
D．Happiness promotes independent thinking and reasoning.
35．What is the text mainly about
A．Happiness is what humans pursue forever.
B．Happiness lies in the process of pursuing it.
C．Our pursuit of happiness may be imperfect.
D．Depression and happiness are equally important.
第二节 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。（共 5小题，每小题 2.5分，共 12.5分）
During job or school interviews, you’re likely to be asked what your strengths and weaknesses are,
because the interviewers are interested in how your areas of strengths and weaknesses might affect your
performance in this position. 36 For instance, you may be skilled in cooking, but if you’re
applying for an office job, this strength may be irrelevant.
However, knowing your personal areas of strengths and weaknesses is not a piece of cake. It takes
self-awareness and self-reflection. 37 Or, ask some of your friends what they see as your best
qualities or shortcomings.
38 For example, let’s say my strength is creativity and yours is planning; we both want to
have the same career. We might go about getting there in very different ways. If I did something creative to
get my dream job and you planned carefully, we’d both likely be successful. But if I tried planning and you
tried something creative, both of us might fail. 39
Having a weakness doesn’t have to be a bad thing. It could be something you struggle with, but it
could also be something you haven’t spent time developing yet. 40 For example, maybe your area
of weakness is relevant to gratitude. You just haven’t spent a lot of time thinking about gratitude before.
But now you engage in a bunch of activities that help you turn gratitude into an area of strength. Hey, now
you’ve got one more skill!
A．Is it proper to begin with a truthful answer
B．So ask yourself what you are good or weak at.
C．Our areas of strengths can help us achieve our goals.
D．Thus, it’s helpful to know your strengths related to the role.
E．Many job applicants are unsure how to approach this question.

F．By turning a weakness into a strength, you build other important skills.
G．That’s why it is important to know and use our strengths to reach goals.

An egg sandwich in hand, I quickly grabbed my bag and climbed into the honking car. I took out my
physics notes and started skimming through them once more.
Today was a very important exam-of physics. For me, it was a really hard subject and I had worked
really tough and intended to do my best in it.
I entered the queue outside the assigned classroom where the invigilator(监考老师)was checking our
pencil cases. All the seniors and juniors were mixed and we were sitting in an English letter order. Upon
looking at my name, I was surprised to see someone else sitting on my seat. She was a senior.
“Um. . . excuse me, I think you got the wrong seat… ” my squeaky(细的)voice faltered(支吾).
She stared in front in a bored way. I had the feeling she was deliberately ignoring me. I had enough
trouble socializing with people, so I decided to leave the matter to the invigilator. The invigilator came soon
enough.
“Katie, dear, you need to move one seat back for Aliya here, ” the invigilator explained.
The girl, Katie, shifted and I settled down. The girl in front of me turned around and rolled her eyes at
me. Now, I was puzzled. What was wrong I had annoyed two people at the same time
These thoughts drifted away as I started focusing on the paper. Minutes passed when out of the blue,
there was a tap on my shoulder.
The girl behind me, Katie, whispered, “Quick! Change places with me.”
I froze. It took me a moment to process her words. Without even waiting for a response, she grabbed
my arms, pulled me up and made me sit on her seat, exchanging our papers too. Then she and the girl in
front of her started to exchange some notes. I didn’t know what to do. I fought hard to collect enough

getting more expensive to learn to drive these days
M: Well, it depends. If you come to a private instructor like me, it's going to be a bit less
expensive than going to a big school. The thing is that people have usually heard of the big
schools and trust them. I mostly get customers through personal connections. (14)
W: Does that mean you have to try hard to get customers
M: When I started, I had to. But at the moment, I'm fully booked, and my prices are quite
competitive. (16)
W: Learning how to drive is usually a nervous experience for beginners. Many people feel that
driving is very challenging. What do you think (15)
M: Well, it can be. But I try to get people to sit quietly in the driver's seat for a few moments with
their eyes closed. (15) You'd be surprised how it changes some people. They feel much more
ready to drive if they've had a few quiet moments. It probably helps them to trust me as a
teacher, too.
W: Yes, I suppose some people are much more nervous than others.
Text 10
Thank you all for coming. After considering several factors, including the questionnaires
you completed last spring, we've decided that we're going to switch to four-day workweeks,
beginning next month. We will work 10 hours a day, from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., on Monday
through Thursday. The office will be closed on Fridays. (17) (20)Though we will still work 40
hours a week, we estimate that this change will reduce our energy use by 15 percent, (18) and will
also save each of you, on average, about $20 a month in gas and
transportation costs. Overall, this change will reduce our
company's carbon footprint. To save even more energy, we will be
installing new light bulbs called CFLs next week. (18) During the
changeover period, we understand that some of you, particularly
those with young children, might need special accommodations as
you adjust to a four-day week. (19) If you have any questions or
concerns, let your manager know. We'll be happy to help you in
any way we can. Though this might be upsetting at first, we're
confident that most of you will like the new schedule once you’ve grown accustomed to the
change.

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了 John Buettner的老师和同学为了能让残疾的他
和其他残疾学生在学校操场上玩耍，发起了筹款活动，最终成功改造了操场。
24．细节理解题。根据第一段中“He uses a wheelchair, so they aren’t accessible to him — in fact,
most of the playground at Glen Lake Elementary School isn’t. (他使用轮椅，所以轮椅对他来说
{#{QQABLYIEggiAQIJAABhCQwVQCAKQkAACAKoOQAAIMAIAyQNABAA=}#}

安让她的学生帮忙筹集剩下的钱。)”和下文““Why can’t we make the whole playground
accessible ” said Hadley Mangan. (“为什么我们不能让整个操场都变得方便呢？”哈德利·曼
根说。)”可知，Julien让她的学生帮忙筹集剩下的钱，她的学生欣然接受了，并决定筹集钱

和她的学生，这个梦想即将以更大的方式实现。)”可知，文章主要讲述了 John Buettner的老

【答案】28．B 29．C 30．C 31．A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在环保人士的努力下，更多的蓝鲸正在逐步回
归海洋。
28．推理判断题。根据第一段““Towards thee I roll, thou all-destroying but unconquering whale;
to the last I grapple with thee; from hell’s heart I stab at thee; for hate’s sake I spit my last breath
at thee.” Captain Ahab’s dying declaration of defiance (抗争) is among the most famous passages
in Herman Melville’s novel.(“我向你滚来滚去，你这条毁灭一切却又不可战胜的大鲸；我要与
你搏斗到底；我从地狱之心刺向你；为了仇恨，我向你吐出最后一口气。”亚哈船长临死前
的反抗宣言是赫尔曼·梅尔维尔小说中最著名的段落之一)”以及第二段“In reality, such
victories of the hunted over the hunter were a fantasy in the cruel world of industrial whaling. The
{#{QQABLYIEggiAQIJAABhCQwVQCAKQkAACAKoOQAAIMAIAyQNABAA=}#}
biggest cetacean of them all, the blue whale, had all but disappeared from the Southern Ocean by
the time a ban on hunting it was introduced in 1967.(实际上，在残酷的工业捕鲸世界里，这样
的被捕者对猎人的胜利只是一种幻想。其中最大的鲸类动物蓝鲸，在 1967年禁止捕猎蓝鲸
时，几乎从南大洋消失了)”可推知，作者提到赫尔曼·麦尔维尔这部小说中最著名的桥段之
一，是为了引出本文要讨论的话题。故选 B。
29．细节理解题。根据第五段“Three years ago, the Natural History Museum established a 25m
skeleton (骨架) of a blue whale and named it Hope, intending to inspire new generations to build a
sustainable future.(三年前，自然历史博物馆建立了一具 25米长的蓝鲸骨架，并将其命名为“希
望”，旨在激励新一代建设可持续发展的未来)”可知，一具 25米长的蓝鲸骨架被命名为“希
望”是为了激励人类与自然和谐相处，建设可持续发展的未来。故选 C。
30．词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“Ecological wrongs can be righted, or at least”以及后文“with
sufficient will and organisations.”可知，“at least”的语意比 righted轻，说明只要有足够的意愿
和组织，生态错误是可以纠正的，或者至少是可以减轻的。故画线词意思是“减少”。故选 C。
31．主旨大意题。根据第三段“Sightings of the largest mammal ever to live on the earth had been
rare in the region since then. Not any more. A survey of coastal waters around the island of South
Georgia in the sub-Antarctic has had remarkable results.(从那以后，在这个地区很少能看到这种
地球上最大的哺乳动物。现在不是了。对亚南极南乔治亚岛周围沿海水域的调查取得了显著
成果)”结合文章主要介绍了在环保人士的努力下，更多的蓝鲸正在逐步回归海洋。A选项“蓝
鲸的回归”符合语境。故选 A。
D
【答案】32．A 33．C 34．B 35．C
【导语】本篇是议论文。本文对于幸福的追求究竟是什么进行了阐述。得出的结论是：人们
对于幸福的追求并不是完美的。
32．细节理解题。根据第二段“Yet there is some evidence that too much pursuit of happiness is
associated with a greater risk of depression.(然而，有证据表明，过度追求幸福与更大的抑郁风
险有关)”可知，在第 2段可以找到过于关注“幸福”的负面影响。故选 A项。
33．推理判断题。根据第三段“But maximizing pleasure isn’t the only option. Every human life,
even the most fortunate, is filled with pain. Painful loss, painful disappointments, the physical
pain of injury or sickness, and the mental pain of long-suffering boredom, loneliness, or
sadness. Pain is an unavoidable consequence of being alive. All the good things in life involve
{#{QQABLYIEggiAQIJAABhCQwVQCAKQkAACAKoOQAAIMAIAyQNABAA=}#}
suffering. Writing a novel, running a marathon, or giving birth all cause suffering in pursuit of the
final, joyous result.(但是最大化快乐并不是唯一的选择。每个人的生活，即使是最幸运的人，
也充满了痛苦。痛苦的损失，痛苦的失望，身体上受伤或生病的痛苦，以及长期忍受无聊、
孤独或悲伤的精神痛苦。痛苦是活着不可避免的结果。生活中所有美好的事物都伴随着苦难。
写小说、跑马拉松或生孩子，都是为了追求最终的快乐结果而痛苦的)”可知，作者通过举例
来证明痛苦是活着不可避免的结果。故选 C项。
34．细节理解题。根据第四段中“In the eyes of Aristotle, we get happiness by exercising our
uniquely human capabilities to think and reason. But thinking and reasoning are as much social
activities as they are individual. Happiness requires others; it is not an emotional state so much as
it is the excellence of the relations we cultivate with other people.(在亚里士多德看来，我们通过
行使人类独特的思考和推理能力来获得幸福。但思考和推理既是个体活动，也是社会活动。
幸福需要别人;与其说它是一种情感状态，不如说是我们与他人培养的良好关系)”可知，在亚
理士多德看来“幸福并不是个体的情感状态，需要我们与他人培养良好的关系”。故选 B项。
35．主旨大意题。纵观全文可知，文章第一段通过设问的方式引出话题；第二段指出，现如
今人们过分追求幸福而产生的负面影响；第三至六段表明，过分追求幸福、将幸福最大化并
不会带来真正的快乐。因此，人们对于幸福的追求并不是完美的。故选 C。
七选五
【答案】36．D 37．B 38．C 39．G 40．F
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是如何认识和利用好自己的优势和劣势。
36．根据空后的“For instance, you may be skilled in cooking, but if you’re applying for an office
job, this strength may be irrelevant.(例如，你可能擅长烹饪，但如果你申请的是办公室工作，
这一优势可能就无关紧要了)”可知，此处举例说明空处的内容，所以此空处讲述的内容应与
“优势与职位是否相关”有关，D选项“Thus, it’s helpful to know your strengths related to the
role.(因此，它有助于了解自己的优势与作用)”中的 thus为关键词，结合句意可知，D选项与
空前内容为因果关系，且内容吻合。故选 D项。
37．根据空前的“However, knowing your personal areas of strengths and weaknesses is not a
piece of cake. It takes self-awareness and self-reflection.(然而，了解自己的优势和劣势并不是一
件容易的事。这需要自我意识和自我反省)”可知，认识到自己的优势不是一件容易得事情，
根据空后“Or, ask some of your friends what they see as your best qualities or shortcomings.(或
者，问问你的一些朋友，他们认为你的优点和缺点是什么)”内容中的 or可以推断，此空处
{#{QQABLYIEggiAQIJAABhCQwVQCAKQkAACAKoOQAAIMAIAyQNABAA=}#}
讲述的内容与“如何了解自己的优势”相关，B选项“So ask yourself what you are good or weak
at.(所以问问你自己你擅长什么或者哪方面弱)”内容与空前内容为因果关系，且与空后的 or
为选择关系，符合逻辑。故选 B项。
38．分析语篇可知，此空为本段的主题句，根据空后列举的例子“For example, let’s say my
strength is creativity and yours is planning; we both want to have the same career. We might go
about getting there in very different ways. If I did something creative to get my dream job and you
planned carefully, we’d both likely be successful. But if I tried planning and you tried something
creative, both of us might fail. .(例如，假设我的优势是创造力和你的优势是计划；我们都想拥
有同样的事业。我们可能会以非常不同的方式到达那里。如果我做了一些有创意的事情来得
到我梦寐以求的工作，而你精心策划，我们都有可能成功。但如果我试着做策划，而你试着
做一些有创意的事情，我们俩都可能失败)”可知，该段举例说明的是“恰当利用好自己的优
势能促进成功”，C选项“Our areas of strengths can help us achieve our goals.(我们的优势可以
帮助我们实现目标)”讲述的内容与空后举例内容吻合，且概括了本段的主题。故选 C项。
39．分析语篇可知，此空位于段位，可能是对本段的总结，根据空前的“If I did something
creative to get my dream job and you planned carefully, we’d both likely be successful. But if I
tried planning and you tried something creative, both of us might fail.(如果我做了一些有创意的
事情来得到我梦寐以求的工作，而你精心策划，我们都有可能成功。但如果我试着做策划，
而你试着做一些有创意的事情，我们俩都可能失败)”可知，只有知道自己的优势并且利用合
理能促进我们成功，但是利用不当便会失败，G选项“That’s why it is important to know and use
our strengths to reach goals.(这就是为什么了解并利用我们的优势来实现目标是很重要的)”中
的 that指代的内容与空前的内容吻合，且构成因果关系。故选 G项。
40．根据空后列举的例子“For example, maybe your area of weakness is relevant to gratitude.
You just haven’t spent a lot of time thinking about gratitude before. But now you engage in a
bunch of activities that help you turn gratitude into an area of strength.(例如，也许你的劣势与感
恩有关。你只是以前没有花很多时间思考感恩。但现在你参与了一系列活动，这些活动可以
帮助你把感恩变成一种优势)”可知，此处列举内容表达的是“劣势有时候可以转化为优势”，
F选项“By turning a weakness into a strength, you build other important skills.(把劣势变成优势，
构建其他重要的技能)”讲述的是“将劣势转换为优势的好处”，内容与空后的举例内容相关。
故选 F项。
