The tea that has delighted and fascinated the world for thousands of years has finally received top-level global recognition as a shared cultural treasure of mankind. China' s traditional tea-making was added on Tuesday to the intangible cultural heritage list of UNESCO.

Since ancient times, Chinese people have been planting, picking, making and drinking tea. Tea producers have developed six categories of tea: green, yellow, dark, white, oolong and black teas. Together with reprocessed teas, such as flower-scented teas, there are over 2, 000 tea products in China.
Tea-related customs are not only found across the country, but also influence the rest of the world through the ancient Silk Road and trade routes. Tea is ubiquitous in Chinese people' s daily life, as steeped(浸泡)or boiled tea is served in families, workplaces, tea houses, restaurants and temples, etc. It is also an important part of socialization and ceremonies such as weddings and sacrifices. The practice of greeting guests and building relationships within families and among neighbors through tea- related activities is common to multiple ethnic groups, providing a sense of shared identity and continuity for the communities.
In China, 44 registered national-level intangible cultural heritage entries are related to tea. There are over 40 vocational colleges and 80 universities that have set up majors in tea science or tea culture, resulting in over 3, 000 graduates specializing in tea production and art every year, according to the ministry.

(2024高二下·芜湖月考)阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中, 选出最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
The Internet' s carbon footprint is as bad as air travel. While it is difficult to measure precisely, estimates place it at over two percent of global greenhouse gas emissions(排放)—the same as the air travel.
Information may appear to spread around the world unseen to our eyes, but it actually passes through enormous data centers placed strategically about the globe, which store, organize and deliver everyone' s data. These centers are extremely energy intensive. In the EU, they consume close to three percent of its total energy usage and also require lots of water to prevent their computers from overheating. In the US, about a fifth of data centers draw water from already stressed water sources.
A typical spam email(垃圾邮件)emits around 0.03g of CO2 emissions, though longer messages read on a laptop can go all the way up to 26g. Now multiply that by 333 billion(roughly the number of emails that get sent every day in 2022). That puts all those work emails into perspective. One study found if every British adult sent one less " thank you" email a day, it would save 16, 433 tons of carbon a year. It even predicted that the ICT industry could account for up to a fifth of the world' s energy consumption by 2025.
However, there are measures that we can take to reduce our digital carbon footprint. For instance, you can unsubscribe from marketing and other spam emails and only subscribe to newsletters that you still regularly read. Have regular data checks where you delete old contact lists and other documents that no longer have any use. Keep a clean inbox and delete emails you no longer need.
12.Why does the author make a comparison in the beginning
A.To present the digital carbon footprint.
B.To emphasize the importance of air travel.
C.To advise people not to travel by airplane.
D.To inform the disadvantages of the Internet.
13.What can we infer about data centers
A.It enjoys a wide popularity.
B.It has various kinds of functions.
C.It causes large energy consumption.
D.It has quite a complex mode of operation.
14.What' s the purpose of mentioning the figures in Paragraph 3
A.To draw the readers' attention.
B.It has various kinds of functions.
C.It causes large energy consumption.
D.It has quite a complex mode of operation.
15.What' s the author' s attitude towards reducing digital carbon footprint
A.Neutral. B.Optimistic. C.Unfavorable. D.Concerned.
【答案】12.A
13.C
14.D
15.B
【知识点】推理判断题;说明文;环境保护类
【解析】【分析】本文为一篇说明文,介绍了在数字时代,网络数据的储存、组织和传送会造成巨大的碳排放,文章建议了几种方法可以减少数字碳足迹。
【点评】考查阅读理解。本篇文章涉及推理判断题一种题型。做推理判断题时,要求考生不能凭主观臆断推测或妄加猜测,必须忠实于原文,以材料所提供的相关事实和线索为依据,使做出的推理合乎文意。需要注意:审清题目要求;锁定关键信息;挖掘隐含信息;排除干扰选项;把握语境情感;逻辑推理分析。
12.推理判断题。根据文章第一段"The Internet's carbon footprint is as bad as air travel. While it is difficult to measure precisely, estimates place it at over two percent of global greenhouse gas emissions—the same as the air travel.(互联网的碳足迹和航空旅行一样糟糕。虽然难以精确测量,但据估计,它占全球温室气体排放量的2%以上,与航空旅行相同)"可推知,作者在第一段将互联网碳足迹和航空旅行碳足迹相比是为了展示数字碳足迹。故选A。
13.推理判断题。根据文章第二段"These centers are extremely energy intensive. In the EU, they consume close to three percent of its total energy usage and also require lots of water to prevent their computers from overheating. In the US, about a fifth of data centers draw water from already stressed water sources.(这些中心都是能源密集型的。在欧盟,电脑消耗了近3%的总能源消耗,而且还需要大量的水来防止电脑过热。在美国,大约五分之一的数据中心从已经紧张的水源中取水)"可推知,数据中心造成了大量的能源消耗。故选C。
14.推理判断题。根据文章第三段"A typical spam email(垃圾邮件)emits around 0.03g of CO2 emissions, though longer messages read on a laptop can go all the way up to 26g. Now multiply that by 333 billion(roughly the number of emails that get sent every day in 2022).(一封典型的垃圾邮件的二氧化碳排放量约为0.03克,而在笔记本电脑上阅读较长的信息的二氧化碳排放量可高达26克。现在再乘以3330亿封(大概是2022年每天发送的电子邮件数量))"及"One study found if every British adult sent one less "thank you" email a day, it would save 16, 433 tons of carbon a year. It even predicted that the ICT industry could account for up to a fifth of the world's energy consumption by 2025.(一项研究发现,如果每个英国成年人每天少发一封"感谢"邮件,一年就能减少16433吨碳排放。它甚至预测,到2025年,信息通信技术产业将占到世界能源消耗的五分之一)"可知,本段通过列举数字说明了网络数据能造成巨大的碳排放,因此,这一段是为了强调减少二氧化碳排放的重要性。故选D。
15.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段"However, there are measures that we can take to reduce our digital carbon footprint.(然而,我们可以采取一些措施来减少我们的数字碳足迹)"及下文提到的几种方法可知,作者认为数字碳足迹问题可以改善,持乐观态度。故选B。
二、第二节(共5小题; 每小题1.5分, 满分7.5分)
(2024高二下·芜湖月考)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。
Being a people-pleaser(讨好型人格)is second nature to many people. We tend to calm those around us, often regardless of our own needs. Actually, it is unhealthy to do so. 16. Here are some tips one can follow.
Be sure of your own value.
You were created differently from every other human. Overcoming people-pleasing starts with clearly knowing the value of your thoughts and actions, and that your presence matters. By pleasing people at the cost of your own desires, you' re forgetting that you are here for a reason.
When something goes wrong, it' s quite natural for me to say sorry. It is pretty true of you if you' re a people-pleaser too. However, before words of apology trip from your lips, stop and look at the situation. Apologize sincerely and timely on condition that it' s really your fault. Otherwise just let it go.
17.
Keep saying no.
18. Indeed, getting over people-pleasing requires people to understand that you can say no and mean it. Saying no may be hard, but the more you say it, the more you understand how important it is to say.
Speak up.
People-pleasers like to agree with the masses. We are quiet, listening, waiting to agree on whatever decision is reached. Many times, I simply stayed quiet and agreed, even when I really didn' t like the plans at all. And bitterness surged when I was asked to deal with what I didn' t want. 19. Even sometimes you have to shout so as to be heard.
Without any doubt, it' s difficult to go against the nature that you tend to please everyone around you. 20. It' s the same with me. The best part is we get the grace of a new day to try all over again.
A. Say sorry actively.
B. Apologize properly.
C. It seems common to agree to everything.
D. Chances are that you' ll fail into old patterns midway.
E. What counts much is to change some of your daily habits.
F. Saying no is always the first choice for many people to make.
G. Learn to use your voice bravely if you' d like to overcome people-pleasing.
【答案】16.E;17.B;18.C;19.G;20.D
【知识点】说明文;七选五;日常生活类
【解析】【分析】本文为一篇说明文,介绍了如何改变"讨好型人格"习惯的一些方法。
【点评】考查任务型阅读(七选五)。解题时,要求考生注意通读整篇文章,把握整段脉络,理出文章的中心,分析段落之间和段落内部的层次。选项与前后句之间的逻辑关系是确定答案的主要依据。可以从意思、关键词、关联词来分析段落之间以及段落内部的逻辑关系。七选五解题的一些实用技巧如下。第一,快速浏览全文,把握文章主旨。在开始解题前,快速浏览全文,了解文章的大致内容和主题,有助于更好地理解和判断每个选项的合适性。第二,注意段首句和段尾句。段首句往往是对整段的概括或引入,而段尾句则常常是对该段的总结或结论。因此,关注这些句子有助于我们快速了解段落的主旨,从而更好地选择答案。第三,利用上下文语境和逻辑关系进行推断。在选择答案时,要仔细阅读上下文,寻找与选项相关的线索和信息,如关联词、同义词、反义词等。同时,也要根据逻辑关系进行推断,如因果、转折、并列等,从而确定正确答案。第四,排除法也是一种有效的解题方法。当面对多个选项时,可以先排除与文章主旨或上下文不符的选项,然后再根据剩余选项的内容进行比较和选择。
16.上文"Being a people-pleaser(讨好型人格)is second nature to many people. We tend to calm those around us, often regardless of our own needs. Actually, it is unhealthy to do so.(成为一个讨人喜欢的人是许多人的第二天性。我们往往会不顾自己的需要,让周围的人平静下来。事实上,这样做是不健康的)"讲到了讨好型人格往往会不顾自己,讨好别人,是不健康的,下文"Here are some tips one can follow.(这里有一些建议可以遵循)"及下文介绍如何改变这种人格的方法,E选项"重要的是改变你的一些日常习惯"表示要改变这种习惯,从而改变讨好型人格,承上启下。故选E。
17.空处为小标题,后文"However, before words of apology trip from your lips, stop and look at the situation. Apologize sincerely and timely on condition that it's really your fault. Otherwise just let it go.(然而,在你道歉之前,停下来看看情况。真诚而及时地道歉,前提是这真的是你的错。否则就随它去吧)"表明不要一味地道歉,如果真是自己的错误才应该道歉,B选项"适当道歉"可以概括本小段主旨。故选B。
18.下文"Indeed, getting over people-pleasing requires people to understand that you can say no and mean it.(事实上,克服讨好别人的习惯需要人们明白,你可以说不,而且是认真的)"并结合本段小标题可知,此处表示要勇敢拒绝,C选项"一切都同意似乎很常见"表示同意是常见的,与后文形成对比,引出下文的观点,适合作为段首句。故选C。
19.上文"Many times, I simply stayed quiet and agreed, even when I really didn't like the plans at all. And bitterness surged when I was asked to deal with what I didn't want.(很多时候,我只是保持沉默并同意,即使我真的不喜欢这些计划。当我被要求处理我不想要的东西时,痛苦就会涌上心头)"表示作者保持沉默勉强接受不喜欢的计划,但是内心痛苦,下文"Even sometimes you have to shout so as to be heard.(甚至有时候你必须大声喊叫才能让别人听到)"可知,空处表示应说出自己的想法,G选项"如果你想克服取悦别人的缺点,就要学会勇敢地使用自己的声音"符合主旨。故选G。
20.上文"Without any doubt, it's difficult to go against the nature that you tend to please everyone around you.(毫无疑问,想要违背你喜欢取悦身边每一个人的天性是很难的)"表示改变习惯是困难的,下文"It's the same with me. The best part is we get the grace of a new day to try all over again.(我也一样。最好的部分是我们得到了新的一天的恩典,可以重新开始)"表示作者也是一样,但是可以不停尝试,D选项"很有可能你会中途陷入旧的模式"符合上文说明改变天性是困难的这一观点,表示有可能会失败,符合语境。故选D。

【解析】【分析】本文为一篇记叙文,讲述了Rachel O'Neill号召妇女为非洲马拉维地区的女孩制作并捐赠连衣裙,并成立组织"非洲小礼服"来帮助全球孩子的故事。
【点评】考查完形填空。首先要通读一遍文章,跳过缺失的单词,再根据上下文来判断所缺失的单词的含义,最后对选项进行对比分析,选出正确选项。完形填空是英语考试中常见的一种题型,旨在测试学生的语言综合运用能力。一些实用的解题策略如下。一、通读全文,把握大意。在开始答题之前,应先通读全文,了解文章的主题和大致内容。这样有助于理解作者的意图,把握文章的整体思路,为后续的填空选择提供正确的方向。二、仔细分析,逐一排查。对于每一个空,要仔细分析所给的选项,逐一排查,选出最符合文意的答案。通常情况下,完形填空中会有几个空白需要填写形容词、副、名词等,要注意所填的词要与句子前后内容相符。三、结合上下文,理解语义。有时候仅从一个空所在的句子很难确定正确的答案,这时需要结合上下文,理解整体的语义环境。通过对前后的语境分析,确定一个合理的答案。四、注意语法结构。完形填空中涉及的语法知识较多,如时态、语态、词性等。在选择答案时,要仔细考虑语法结构是否正确。五、积累词汇,提高语言基础。要想在完形填空中取得好成绩,平时的词汇积累非常重要。建议学生多阅读英文文章,扩大词汇量,提高语言基础。

【知识点】动词现在分词;分词;形容词的用法;故事阅读类;记叙文
【解析】【分析】本文为一篇记叙文,讲述了Philips先生在街上向一位贫穷的老妇人买香蕉的故事。
【点评】考查语法填空。本题考点涉及名词,冠词,形容词,介词,副词,谓语动词,非谓语动词以及定语从句等多个知识点的考查。要求考生在理解细节信息的基础上,进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系,并结合相关语法知识,进行分析推理,从而写出正确的单词形式。语法填空实用解题策略如下。一、分析句子结构。在面对语法填空题时,首先要做的是分析句子的结构。观察句子中的主语、谓语、宾语等主要成分,以及是否有从句、非谓语动词等复杂结构。通过理解句子结构,可以更好地把握填空处所需的词性和功能。二、确定词性变化。根据句子结构和语境,确定填空处所需的词性。然后,根据语法规则,考虑所需的词性是否需要进行变化,如名词的单复数、动词的时态和语态、形容词和副词的比较级和最高级等。确保所填词汇在语法上与句子其他部分相匹配。三、牢记固定搭配。英语中存在大量的固定搭配和短语,这些搭配在语法填空题中经常出现。因此,需要牢记常见的固定搭配和短语,以便在解题时能够迅速识别并正确填空。四、注意时态语态。时态和语态是英语语法填空的重要考点。在解题时,要注意根据句子的语境和上下文,判断所需动词的时态和语态。同时,也要注意时态和语态的一致性,确保所填词汇与句子的时态和语态相符。五、理解上下文语境。语境对于语法填空题的解答至关重要。通过理解句子的上下文,可以更好地理解填空处所需的词汇和语法结构。因此,在解题时,要仔细阅读句子的前后文,把握句子的整体意义,以便更好地填空。六、利用常识和逻辑。在某些情况下,可以利用常识和逻辑来解答语法填空题。例如,根据常识判断所填词汇是否符合常理,或者根据逻辑判断所填词汇是否与前后的句子内容相符合。通过利用常识和逻辑,可以更加准确地填空。七、多做练习总结。最后,多做练习是提高语法填空解题能力的有效途径。通过大量的练习,我们可以熟悉各种题型和考点,提高解题速度和准确率。同时,也要及时总结错题原因,分析解题思路和方法,以便更好地掌握语法填空题的解题技巧。
36.句意:刚做完他的工作,菲利普斯先生正要去杂货店买一些香蕉,但他看到一个可怜的老太太在街上卖新鲜香蕉,所以似乎从她那里买一些更方便。分析句子可知,空处作saw的宾语补足语,lady与sell构成主动关系,表示动作正在进行时,用现在分词。故填selling。
37.句意:刚做完他的工作,菲利普斯先生正要去杂货店买一些香蕉,但他看到一个可怜的老太太在街上卖新鲜香蕉,所以似乎从她那里买一些更方便。根据Mr. Philips was going to the grocery shop to buy some bananas可知,菲利普斯先生本打算去店里买水果,但是看到街上有人卖,所以从街上买似乎更方便,空处缺少形容词的比较级,convenient对应的比较级为more convenient。故填more convenient。
38.句意:老妇人每公斤香蕉要价7美元。charge+金钱+for sth.为固定短语,意思为:开价多少钱卖……。故填for。
39.句意:"但是我经常去的商店每公斤卖5美元!"菲利普斯先生说。分析句子可知,the shop为先行词,其后为限制性定语从句,the shop作从句中from的宾语,表示物,用关系代词that/which引导。故填that/which。
40.句意:当他想为自己挑选的香蕉付款时,收银员告诉他每公斤的价格是10美元。根据前文菲利普斯觉得路边7美元一公斤的香蕉卖贵了,想要去5美元一公斤的店里买,结合the price per kilo was $10可知,空处前后为转折关系,表示"然而",用逗号隔开,用however。放在句首,首字母大写。故填However。
41.句意:菲利普先生对他的态度感到非常恼火,决定把香蕉放回去,回到老太太身边。空处放在felt后面作表语,表示人的感受,用annoyed,意思为:恼火的。故填annoyed。
42.句意:她立刻认出了他,对他说:"先生,这个价钱我不能卖。"空处修饰动词recognize,用副词作状语。故填instantly。
43.句意:现在,请给我两公斤!two后搭配可数名词复数。故填kilos。
44.句意:我很感激你的好意。空处作appreciate的宾语,表示"善意"用kindness,不可数名词。故填kindness。
45.句意:从那天起,她的生活比以前好多了。make a living意思为:谋生,为固定短语,空处放在much前面,much以辅音音素开始发音,不定冠词用a。故填a。

47.(2024高二下·芜湖月考)第二节 读后续写(满分20分)
阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段文字, 150字左右, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In Rome there was once a poor slave whose name was Androclus. His master was a cruel man, and so unkind to him that Androclus ran away. He hid himself in a wild wood for many days; but there was no food to be found, and he grew so weak and sick that he thought he would die. So one day he climbed into a cave and lay down to wait for death, and soon he was fast asleep.
After a while, a great noise woke him up. A lion had come into the cave, and was roaring loudly. Androclus was very afraid, for he felt sure that the beast would kill him. Soon, however, he saw the lion was not angry, but that his foot were hurt.
Then Androclus grew so courageous that he started to examine the lion' s paw to see what was the matter. The lion stood quite still, and rubbed his head against the man' s shoulder. He seemed to say, " I know that you will help me."
Androclus lifted the paw from the ground, and saw that it was a long, sharp thorn that hurt the lion so much. He took the end of the thorn between his fingers; then he gave a strong, quick pull, and out it came. The lion was full of joy. He jumped about like a dog, and licked the hands and feet of his new friend.
The two became such good friends that Androclus found his new life a very happy one. One day some soldiers found Androclus in the cave and took him back to Rome. It was the law at that time that every slave who ran away from his master should fight a hungry lion. For each of these occasions, a fierce lion was locked up for a while without food, and a time was set for the fight.
Paragraph 1
When the day came, thousands of people crowded in to see the fight.
Paragraph 2
The people, who had expected to see the man killed by the lion, were filled with wonder.
【答案】When the day came, thousands of people crowded in to see the fight. The door opened, and poor Androclus was brought in. He was almost dead with fear and saw that there was no pity in the thousands of faces staring at him. Then the hungry lion rushed in. Oh, it was his old friend, the lion from the cave.
The people, who had expected to see the man killed by the lion, were filled with wonder. They saw Androclus put his arms around the lion' s neck and the lion lay down at his feet, licking them lovingly. Androclus stood up before them and told how he and the beast had lived together in the cave. " I am a man, " he said, " but no man has ever befriended me. This poor lion only has been kind to me; and we love each other as brothers." The people were not so bad that they could be cruel to the poor slave now. " Live and be free! " they cried, " Give both of them their liberty! " And so Androclus was set free, and the lion was given to him. They lived together in Rome for many years.
【知识点】文字式记叙文;读后续写
【解析】【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读文章可知,该篇记叙文以人物为线索展开。在罗马,有一个可怜的奴隶安德罗克洛斯。因为他的主人很残忍,安德罗斯跑掉了。他在一个山洞帮助了脚受伤的狮子。安德罗斯和狮子成了好朋友。一天,一些士兵在发现了安德罗斯,把他带回了罗马。当时的法律规定,每一个从主人那里逃跑的奴隶都要和一只饥饿的狮子搏斗。在每一种情况下,一头凶猛的狮子被关起来一段时间,没有食物,并设定了战斗的时间。段落续写:1.由第一段句首内容"那天来临时,成千上万的人涌进来观看比赛。"可知,第一段可以描写比赛开始后安德罗克洛斯的心理活动和比赛的奇怪场景。2.由第二段句首内容"那些原以为会看到那个人被狮子杀死的人充满了惊奇。"可知,第二段可以描写安德罗克洛斯对于狮子不攻击他的解释和安德罗克洛斯的最后结果。续写线索:将要比赛——被带进来——狮子冲进来——依偎——大家惊奇——解释原因——获得自由。写作时要注意准确运用时态,上下文意思要连贯,符合句际间和段际间的逻辑关系,尽量使用自己熟悉的词汇及句式,同时也要注意使用高级词汇和高级句型来提升文章的档次。
【点评】1. 本篇书面表达表达上要点齐全,上下文连贯,使用了一定数量的句式结构,让句子表达更加生动传神,同时使用了较多的高级词汇和固定短语,提高了文章的档次,体现了对英语书面表达熟练的驾驭能力。 例如:They saw Androclus put his arms around the lion' s neck and the lion lay
down at his feet, licking them lovingly.(运用了现在分词短语作状语);He was almost dead with fear and saw that there was no pity in the thousands of faces staring at him. ( 运用了that引导的宾语从句);Androclus stood up before them and told how he and the beast had lived together in the cave. ( 运用了how引导的宾语从句);The people were not so bad that they could be cruel to the poor slave now. (运用了so...that引导的结果状语从句)。
2. 读后续写步骤如下
(1)精读文章,确定文章线索。每篇文章都有各自独特的写作思路,通过精读文章,找到该篇文章的写作线索,比如是以时间为线索还是以空间为线索等,这样有利于考生"顺藤摸瓜"。
(2)仔细审题,明确续写要求。一般短文后面的"注意"都有对此短文续写的具体要求,如字数限制、使用几处下划线关键词语、续写段落的首句提示,这样考生能做到"心中有数"。
(3)回扣原文,揣摩续写思路。根据文章后面的要求,再次快速回读短文,抓住文章的思路,结合段首的提示语,最终确定续写段落的思路,同时结合文章划线词语提示,确定续写段落的内容。
(4)拟写草稿,修改错词病句。在确定了思路和内容之后,最关键的就是结合提示语或者文中划线的关键词语拟写草稿。拟写时,注意句子结构的多样性、语言的丰富性,并通过句与句之间连接词的正确使用,使上下文连贯。
(5)标出续写部分中使用到的原材料中标有下划线的关键词语。这一点可以帮助考生检查关键词语的使用情况并根据情况做出修改。最后在誊写文字时,务必做到"字迹工整、清晰"。
3. 在做此类试题时,读到适当的位置,可以短暂停顿,根据已读部分文章的脉络,对文章进行发散思维,设想可能的几种结尾;经常实施微型化训练,也就是对所读文章的某一段落进行设想。根据某段落的首句提示,结合文章的上文对该段进行合理设想,推断该段可能要讲述的内容。

The Internet' s carbon footprint is as bad as air travel. While it is difficult to measure precisely, estimates place it at over two percent of global greenhouse gas emissions(排放)—the same as the air travel.
Information may appear to spread around the world unseen to our eyes, but it actually passes through enormous data centers placed strategically about the globe, which store, organize and deliver everyone' s data. These centers are extremely energy intensive. In the EU, they consume close to three percent of its total energy usage and also require lots of water to prevent their computers from overheating. In the US, about a fifth of data centers draw water from already stressed water sources.
A typical spam email(垃圾邮件)emits around 0.03g of CO2 emissions, though longer messages read on a laptop can go all the way up to 26g. Now multiply that by 333 billion(roughly the number of emails that get sent every day in 2022). That puts all those work emails into perspective. One study found if every British adult sent one less " thank you" email a day, it would save 16, 433 tons of carbon a year. It even predicted that the ICT industry could account for up to a fifth of the world' s energy consumption by 2025.
However, there are measures that we can take to reduce our digital carbon footprint. For instance, you can unsubscribe from marketing and other spam emails and only subscribe to newsletters that you still regularly read. Have regular data checks where you delete old contact lists and other documents that no longer have any use. Keep a clean inbox and delete emails you no longer need.
12.Why does the author make a comparison in the beginning
A.To present the digital carbon footprint.
B.To emphasize the importance of air travel.
C.To advise people not to travel by airplane.
D.To inform the disadvantages of the Internet.
13.What can we infer about data centers
A.It enjoys a wide popularity.
B.It has various kinds of functions.
C.It causes large energy consumption.
D.It has quite a complex mode of operation.
14.What' s the purpose of mentioning the figures in Paragraph 3
A.To draw the readers' attention.
B.It has various kinds of functions.
C.It causes large energy consumption.
D.It has quite a complex mode of operation.
15.What' s the author' s attitude towards reducing digital carbon footprint
A.Neutral. B.Optimistic. C.Unfavorable. D.Concerned.

Being a people-pleaser(讨好型人格)is second nature to many people. We tend to calm those around us, often regardless of our own needs. Actually, it is unhealthy to do so. 16. Here are some tips one can follow.
Be sure of your own value.
You were created differently from every other human. Overcoming people-pleasing starts with clearly knowing the value of your thoughts and actions, and that your presence matters. By pleasing people at the cost of your own desires, you' re forgetting that you are here for a reason.
When something goes wrong, it' s quite natural for me to say sorry. It is pretty true of you if you' re a people-pleaser too. However, before words of apology trip from your lips, stop and look at the situation. Apologize sincerely and timely on condition that it' s really your fault. Otherwise just let it go.
17.
Keep saying no.
18. Indeed, getting over people-pleasing requires people to understand that you can say no and mean it. Saying no may be hard, but the more you say it, the more you understand how important it is to say.
Speak up.
People-pleasers like to agree with the masses. We are quiet, listening, waiting to agree on whatever decision is reached. Many times, I simply stayed quiet and agreed, even when I really didn' t like the plans at all. And bitterness surged when I was asked to deal with what I didn' t want. 19. Even sometimes you have to shout so as to be heard.
Without any doubt, it' s difficult to go against the nature that you tend to please everyone around you. 20. It' s the same with me. The best part is we get the grace of a new day to try all over again.
A. Say sorry actively.
B. Apologize properly.
C. It seems common to agree to everything.
D. Chances are that you' ll fail into old patterns midway.
E. What counts much is to change some of your daily habits.
F. Saying no is always the first choice for many people to make.
G. Learn to use your voice bravely if you' d like to overcome people-pleasing.

阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段文字, 150字左右, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In Rome there was once a poor slave whose name was Androclus. His master was a cruel man, and so unkind to him that Androclus ran away. He hid himself in a wild wood for many days; but there was no food to be found, and he grew so weak and sick that he thought he would die. So one day he climbed into a cave and lay down to wait for death, and soon he was fast asleep.
After a while, a great noise woke him up. A lion had come into the cave, and was roaring loudly. Androclus was very afraid, for he felt sure that the beast would kill him. Soon, however, he saw the lion was not angry, but that his foot were hurt.
Then Androclus grew so courageous that he started to examine the lion' s paw to see what was the matter. The lion stood quite still, and rubbed his head against the man' s shoulder. He seemed to say, " I know that you will help me."
Androclus lifted the paw from the ground, and saw that it was a long, sharp thorn that hurt the lion so much. He took the end of the thorn between his fingers; then he gave a strong, quick pull, and out it came. The lion was full of joy. He jumped about like a dog, and licked the hands and feet of his new friend.
The two became such good friends that Androclus found his new life a very happy one. One day some soldiers found Androclus in the cave and took him back to Rome. It was the law at that time that every slave who ran away from his master should fight a hungry lion. For each of these occasions, a fierce lion was locked up for a while without food, and a time was set for the fight.
Paragraph 1
When the day came, thousands of people crowded in to see the fight.
Paragraph 2
The people, who had expected to see the man killed by the lion, were filled with wonder.

【解析】【分析】本文为一篇说明文,介绍了如何改变"讨好型人格"习惯的一些方法。
【点评】考查任务型阅读(七选五)。解题时,要求考生注意通读整篇文章,把握整段脉络,理出文章的中心,分析段落之间和段落内部的层次。选项与前后句之间的逻辑关系是确定答案的主要依据。可以从意思、关键词、关联词来分析段落之间以及段落内部的逻辑关系。七选五解题的一些实用技巧如下。第一,快速浏览全文,把握文章主旨。在开始解题前,快速浏览全文,了解文章的大致内容和主题,有助于更好地理解和判断每个选项的合适性。第二,注意段首句和段尾句。段首句往往是对整段的概括或引入,而段尾句则常常是对该段的总结或结论。因此,关注这些句子有助于我们快速了解段落的主旨,从而更好地选择答案。第三,利用上下文语境和逻辑关系进行推断。在选择答案时,要仔细阅读上下文,寻找与选项相关的线索和信息,如关联词、同义词、反义词等。同时,也要根据逻辑关系进行推断,如因果、转折、并列等,从而确定正确答案。第四,排除法也是一种有效的解题方法。当面对多个选项时,可以先排除与文章主旨或上下文不符的选项,然后再根据剩余选项的内容进行比较和选择。
16.上文"Being a people-pleaser(讨好型人格)is second nature to many people. We tend to calm those around us, often regardless of our own needs. Actually, it is unhealthy to do so.(成为一个讨人喜欢的人是许多人的第二天性。我们往往会不顾自己的需要,让周围的人平静下来。事实上,这样做是不健康的)"讲到了讨好型人格往往会不顾自己,讨好别人,是不健康的,下文"Here are some tips one can follow.(这里有一些建议可以遵循)"及下文介绍如何改变这种人格的方法,E选项"重要的是改变你的一些日常习惯"表示要改变这种习惯,从而改变讨好型人格,承上启下。故选E。
17.空处为小标题,后文"However, before words of apology trip from your lips, stop and look at the situation. Apologize sincerely and timely on condition that it's really your fault. Otherwise just let it go.(然而,在你道歉之前,停下来看看情况。真诚而及时地道歉,前提是这真的是你的错。否则就随它去吧)"表明不要一味地道歉,如果真是自己的错误才应该道歉,B选项"适当道歉"可以概括本小段主旨。故选B。
18.下文"Indeed, getting over people-pleasing requires people to understand that you can say no and mean it.(事实上,克服讨好别人的习惯需要人们明白,你可以说不,而且是认真的)"并结合本段小标题可知,此处表示要勇敢拒绝,C选项"一切都同意似乎很常见"表示同意是常见的,与后文形成对比,引出下文的观点,适合作为段首句。故选C。
19.上文"Many times, I simply stayed quiet and agreed, even when I really didn't like the plans at all. And bitterness surged when I was asked to deal with what I didn't want.(很多时候,我只是保持沉默并同意,即使我真的不喜欢这些计划。当我被要求处理我不想要的东西时,痛苦就会涌上心头)"表示作者保持沉默勉强接受不喜欢的计划,但是内心痛苦,下文"Even sometimes you have to shout so as to be heard.(甚至有时候你必须大声喊叫才能让别人听到)"可知,空处表示应说出自己的想法,G选项"如果你想克服取悦别人的缺点,就要学会勇敢地使用自己的声音"符合主旨。故选G。
20.上文"Without any doubt, it's difficult to go against the nature that you tend to please everyone around you.(毫无疑问,想要违背你喜欢取悦身边每一个人的天性是很难的)"表示改变习惯是困难的,下文"It's the same with me. The best part is we get the grace of a new day to try all over again.(我也一样。最好的部分是我们得到了新的一天的恩典,可以重新开始)"表示作者也是一样,但是可以不停尝试,D选项"很有可能你会中途陷入旧的模式"符合上文说明改变天性是困难的这一观点,表示有可能会失败,符合语境。故选D。

【解析】【分析】本文为一篇记叙文,讲述了Rachel O'Neill号召妇女为非洲马拉维地区的女孩制作并捐赠连衣裙,并成立组织"非洲小礼服"来帮助全球孩子的故事。
【点评】考查完形填空。首先要通读一遍文章,跳过缺失的单词,再根据上下文来判断所缺失的单词的含义,最后对选项进行对比分析,选出正确选项。完形填空是英语考试中常见的一种题型,旨在测试学生的语言综合运用能力。一些实用的解题策略如下。一、通读全文,把握大意。在开始答题之前,应先通读全文,了解文章的主题和大致内容。这样有助于理解作者的意图,把握文章的整体思路,为后续的填空选择提供正确的方向。二、仔细分析,逐一排查。对于每一个空,要仔细分析所给的选项,逐一排查,选出最符合文意的答案。通常情况下,完形填空中会有几个空白需要填写形容词、副、名词等,要注意所填的词要与句子前后内容相符。三、结合上下文,理解语义。有时候仅从一个空所在的句子很难确定正确的答案,这时需要结合上下文,理解整体的语义环境。通过对前后的语境分析,确定一个合理的答案。四、注意语法结构。完形填空中涉及的语法知识较多,如时态、语态、词性等。在选择答案时,要仔细考虑语法结构是否正确。五、积累词汇,提高语言基础。要想在完形填空中取得好成绩,平时的词汇积累非常重要。建议学生多阅读英文文章,扩大词汇量,提高语言基础。

【解析】【分析】本文为一篇记叙文,讲述了Philips先生在街上向一位贫穷的老妇人买香蕉的故事。
【点评】考查语法填空。本题考点涉及名词,冠词,形容词,介词,副词,谓语动词,非谓语动词以及定语从句等多个知识点的考查。要求考生在理解细节信息的基础上,进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系,并结合相关语法知识,进行分析推理,从而写出正确的单词形式。语法填空实用解题策略如下。一、分析句子结构。在面对语法填空题时,首先要做的是分析句子的结构。观察句子中的主语、谓语、宾语等主要成分,以及是否有从句、非谓语动词等复杂结构。通过理解句子结构,可以更好地把握填空处所需的词性和功能。二、确定词性变化。根据句子结构和语境,确定填空处所需的词性。然后,根据语法规则,考虑所需的词性是否需要进行变化,如名词的单复数、动词的时态和语态、形容词和副词的比较级和最高级等。确保所填词汇在语法上与句子其他部分相匹配。三、牢记固定搭配。英语中存在大量的固定搭配和短语,这些搭配在语法填空题中经常出现。因此,需要牢记常见的固定搭配和短语,以便在解题时能够迅速识别并正确填空。四、注意时态语态。时态和语态是英语语法填空的重要考点。在解题时,要注意根据句子的语境和上下文,判断所需动词的时态和语态。同时,也要注意时态和语态的一致性,确保所填词汇与句子的时态和语态相符。五、理解上下文语境。语境对于语法填空题的解答至关重要。通过理解句子的上下文,可以更好地理解填空处所需的词汇和语法结构。因此,在解题时,要仔细阅读句子的前后文,把握句子的整体意义,以便更好地填空。六、利用常识和逻辑。在某些情况下,可以利用常识和逻辑来解答语法填空题。例如,根据常识判断所填词汇是否符合常理,或者根据逻辑判断所填词汇是否与前后的句子内容相符合。通过利用常识和逻辑,可以更加准确地填空。七、多做练习总结。最后,多做练习是提高语法填空解题能力的有效途径。通过大量的练习,我们可以熟悉各种题型和考点,提高解题速度和准确率。同时,也要及时总结错题原因,分析解题思路和方法,以便更好地掌握语法填空题的解题技巧。
36.句意:刚做完他的工作,菲利普斯先生正要去杂货店买一些香蕉,但他看到一个可怜的老太太在街上卖新鲜香蕉,所以似乎从她那里买一些更方便。分析句子可知,空处作saw的宾语补足语,lady与sell构成主动关系,表示动作正在进行时,用现在分词。故填selling。
37.句意:刚做完他的工作,菲利普斯先生正要去杂货店买一些香蕉,但他看到一个可怜的老太太在街上卖新鲜香蕉,所以似乎从她那里买一些更方便。根据Mr. Philips was going to the grocery shop to buy some bananas可知,菲利普斯先生本打算去店里买水果,但是看到街上有人卖,所以从街上买似乎更方便,空处缺少形容词的比较级,convenient对应的比较级为more convenient。故填more convenient。
38.句意:老妇人每公斤香蕉要价7美元。charge+金钱+for sth.为固定短语,意思为:开价多少钱卖……。故填for。
39.句意:"但是我经常去的商店每公斤卖5美元!"菲利普斯先生说。分析句子可知,the shop为先行词,其后为限制性定语从句,the shop作从句中from的宾语,表示物,用关系代词that/which引导。故填that/which。
40.句意:当他想为自己挑选的香蕉付款时,收银员告诉他每公斤的价格是10美元。根据前文菲利普斯觉得路边7美元一公斤的香蕉卖贵了,想要去5美元一公斤的店里买,结合the price per kilo was $10可知,空处前后为转折关系,表示"然而",用逗号隔开,用however。放在句首,首字母大写。故填However。
41.句意:菲利普先生对他的态度感到非常恼火,决定把香蕉放回去,回到老太太身边。空处放在felt后面作表语,表示人的感受,用annoyed,意思为:恼火的。故填annoyed。
42.句意:她立刻认出了他,对他说:"先生,这个价钱我不能卖。"空处修饰动词recognize,用副词作状语。故填instantly。
43.句意:现在,请给我两公斤!two后搭配可数名词复数。故填kilos。
44.句意:我很感激你的好意。空处作appreciate的宾语,表示"善意"用kindness,不可数名词。故填kindness。
45.句意:从那天起,她的生活比以前好多了。make a living意思为:谋生,为固定短语,空处放在much前面,much以辅音音素开始发音,不定冠词用a。故填a。
46.【答案】One possible version:
Dear Peter,
I' m glad to know that you keep on learning Chinese. As for the idiom " yugongyishan" , there is an interesting story behind it.
Once upon a time, an old man named Yu Gong lived in front of two mountains, which caused his family great inconvenience. Thus, he decided to move them away by using hoes and baskets. Another wise man laughed at him and thought it impossible for him to make it. However, YuGong and his family carried on. Day after day, year after year, until one day God heard about it. So moved by their determination, God sent his two sons to take the mountains away.
This idiom is saying that with determination, anything can be achieved. Best wishes!
Yours sincerely,
LiHua

47.【答案】When the day came, thousands of people crowded in to see the fight. The door opened, and poor Androclus was brought in. He was almost dead with fear and saw that there was no pity in the thousands of faces staring at him. Then the hungry lion rushed in. Oh, it was his old friend, the lion from the cave.
The people, who had expected to see the man killed by the lion, were filled with wonder. They saw Androclus put his arms around the lion' s neck and the lion lay down at his feet, licking them lovingly. Androclus stood up before them and told how he and the beast had lived together in the cave. " I am a man, " he said, " but no man has ever befriended me. This poor lion only has been kind to me; and we love each other as brothers." The people were not so bad that they could be cruel to the poor slave now. " Live and be free! " they cried, " Give both of them their liberty! " And so Androclus was set free, and the lion was given to him. They lived together in Rome for many years.
【知识点】文字式记叙文;读后续写
【解析】【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读文章可知,该篇记叙文以人物为线索展开。在罗马,有一个可怜的奴隶安德罗克洛斯。因为他的主人很残忍,安德罗斯跑掉了。他在一个山洞帮助了脚受伤的狮子。安德罗斯和狮子成了好朋友。一天,一些士兵在发现了安德罗斯,把他带回了罗马。当时的法律规定,每一个从主人那里逃跑的奴隶都要和一只饥饿的狮子搏斗。在每一种情况下,一头凶猛的狮子被关起来一段时间,没有食物,并设定了战斗的时间。段落续写:1.由第一段句首内容"那天来临时,成千上万的人涌进来观看比赛。"可知,第一段可以描写比赛开始后安德罗克洛斯的心理活动和比赛的奇怪场景。2.由第二段句首内容"那些原以为会看到那个人被狮子杀死的人充满了惊奇。"可知,第二段可以描写安德罗克洛斯对于狮子不攻击他的解释和安德罗克洛斯的最后结果。续写线索:将要比赛——被带进来——狮子冲进来——依偎——大家惊奇——解释原因——获得自由。写作时要注意准确运用时态,上下文意思要连贯,符合句际间和段际间的逻辑关系,尽量使用自己熟悉的词汇及句式,同时也要注意使用高级词汇和高级句型来提升文章的档次。
【点评】1. 本篇书面表达表达上要点齐全,上下文连贯,使用了一定数量的句式结构,让句子表达更加生动传神,同时使用了较多的高级词汇和固定短语,提高了文章的档次,体现了对英语书面表达熟练的驾驭能力。 例如:They saw Androclus put his arms around the lion' s neck and the lion lay
down at his feet, licking them lovingly.(运用了现在分词短语作状语);He was almost dead with fear and saw that there was no pity in the thousands of faces staring at him. ( 运用了that引导的宾语从句);Androclus stood up before them and told how he and the beast had lived together in the cave. ( 运用了how引导的宾语从句);The people were not so bad that they could be cruel to the poor slave now. (运用了so...that引导的结果状语从句)。
2. 读后续写步骤如下
(1)精读文章,确定文章线索。每篇文章都有各自独特的写作思路,通过精读文章,找到该篇文章的写作线索,比如是以时间为线索还是以空间为线索等,这样有利于考生"顺藤摸瓜"。
(2)仔细审题,明确续写要求。一般短文后面的"注意"都有对此短文续写的具体要求,如字数限制、使用几处下划线关键词语、续写段落的首句提示,这样考生能做到"心中有数"。
(3)回扣原文,揣摩续写思路。根据文章后面的要求,再次快速回读短文,抓住文章的思路,结合段首的提示语,最终确定续写段落的思路,同时结合文章划线词语提示,确定续写段落的内容。
(4)拟写草稿,修改错词病句。在确定了思路和内容之后,最关键的就是结合提示语或者文中划线的关键词语拟写草稿。拟写时,注意句子结构的多样性、语言的丰富性,并通过句与句之间连接词的正确使用,使上下文连贯。
(5)标出续写部分中使用到的原材料中标有下划线的关键词语。这一点可以帮助考生检查关键词语的使用情况并根据情况做出修改。最后在誊写文字时,务必做到"字迹工整、清晰"。
3. 在做此类试题时,读到适当的位置,可以短暂停顿,根据已读部分文章的脉络,对文章进行发散思维,设想可能的几种结尾;经常实施微型化训练,也就是对所读文章的某一段落进行设想。根据某段落的首句提示,结合文章的上文对该段进行合理设想,推断该段可能要讲述的内容。
