On 20 February 2021， Jasmine Harrison， who’s from England， without lots of experience in rowing long distances， became the youngest woman to row alone across the Atlantic Ocean.It took her 70 days， 3 hours and 48 minutes to reach the end of the journey.
Every year， rowers taking part in the Atlantic Campaign set off from the Canary Islands and row about 3，000 miles across the Atlantic.Some do the rowing in teams of two， three， or four.Others， like Ms Harrison， row by themselves.Every day， Harrison would row for about 12 hours， pushing her 550-pound boat across the ocean.On her journey， Ms Harrison said she survived just on cookies and chocolate.When asked what she was looking forward to the most， she said， “Food.Definitely food.”
Harrison had a satellite phone that allowed her to talk with her family and friends every day.But the journey still left her with a lot of time all by herself， which she said she enjoyed.But things got a little harder after her speaker fell in the water and she could no longer listen to her music.
She had other company along the way.She saw several whales.For several days， she was followed by a small group of dolphins.“It’s just amazing，” she said.But there was danger， too.Twice， her boat turned over in the night by large waves， and she hurt her arm quite badly.Another time， she nearly ran into a ship.Somehow， she kept going.Finally， she was taking her first steps on land in over two months.
Ms Harrison’s trip didn’t just set a record； it also raised over ￡18，500 for two charities：Blue Marine Foundation， which works to control overfishing， and ShelterBox， which helps people who have suffered from natural disasters.

The era known as the Age of Exploration， sometimes called the Age of Discovery， officially began in the early 15th century.The period is characterized as a time when Europeans began exploring the world by sea in search of new trading routes， wealth， and knowledge.
Many nations were looking for goods such as silver and gold， but one of the biggest reasons for exploration was the desire to find a new route for the spice and silk trades.
The first of the journeys associated with the Age of Discovery were conducted by the Portuguese.Portuguese explorers discovered the Madeira Islands in 1419 and the Azores in 1427.Over the coming decades， they would push farther south along the African coast， reaching the coast of present-day Senegal by the 1440s and the Cape of Good Hope by 1490.Less than a decade later， in 1498， Vasco da Gama would follow this route all the way to India.
While the Portuguese were opening new sea routes along Africa， the Spanish also dreamed of finding new trade routes to the Far East.Christopher Columbus， an Italian working for the Spanish monarch， made his first journey in 1492.Instead of reaching India， Columbus found the island of San Salvador in what is known today as the Bahamas.He also explored the island of Hispaniola， home of modern-day Haiti and the Dominican Republic.
Columbus would lead three more voyages to the Caribbean， exploring parts of Cuba and the Central American coast.
Columbus’ journeys opened the door for the Spanish conquest of the Americas.During the next century， men such as Hernan Cortes and Francisco Pizarro would reach Mexico and Peru.
The Age of Exploration ended in the early 17th century after technological advancements and increased knowledge of the world allowed Europeans to travel easily across the globe by sea.The Age of Exploration had a significant impact on geography.By travelling to different regions around the globe， explorers were able to learn more about areas such as Africa and the Americas and bring that knowledge back to Europe.
5.How long did the Age of Exploration last？
A.About 100 years. B.About 200 years.
C.About 300 years. D.About 400 years.
6.Who was the first to reach Asia according to the text？
A.Vasco da Gama.
B.Christopher Columbus.
C.Hernan Cortes.
D.Francisco Pizarro.
7.What do we learn about Christopher Columbus？
A.He was working for his country.
B.He had been to the African coast.
C.Three voyages were made by him.
D.The aim of his first voyage was Asia.
8.What’s the main idea of the last paragraph？
A.The influence of the Age of Exploration.
B.The problem with the Age of Exploration.
C.How the Age of Exploration came to an end.
D.How the Age of Exploration changed America.

（2024·河北百校联盟高一月考）Confidence is a feeling of trust in your abilities， qualities and judgment.Building confidence is like building a house.You need to start with a solid foundation， then construct everything else from there.It takes time and effort to improve your confidence， especially if you haven’t had the opportunity to prove your skills in the past. 9 Start strengthening your self-confidence with these how-to guides.
10 It’s easier said than done， but daily， positive thoughts about what you’re able to do can improve your confidence.Everyone has days when staying positive is tough， but force yourself to remember one good thing you like about who you are every morning until it’s a habit.
Do things you’re good at.What happens when you do things that you are good at？ 11 Your strengths become even stronger， which helps improve your belief in yourself.Taking this approach also has another benefit： It can increase how satisfied you are with your life.
Spend time with positive people.The people around you greatly impact how you feel about yourself.If judgemental or critical people surround you， it’ll have negative effects on your mental strength.If， however， you’re interacting with people who can cheer others on and support one another， you’ll feel much better. 12
Take care of yourself.Focusing on you and what you need sometimes feel like it’s selfish， but it’s not！ 13 Taking care of yourself can help you take care of others， but it can also help boost your self-confidence.Easy ways to start include taking a break when you’re overwhelmed （不堪重负的）， wearing your favourite outfit， or doing something you love.
A.Act as if you feel confident.
B.Your self-confidence starts to rise.
C.It’s a necessary part of being human.
D.However， it is something that everyone can do！
E.Think positively about yourself and your skills.
F.Actually， it’s hard to feel good about yourself if you overuse your health.
G.So focus on creating healthier relationships with the positive people in your life.

Chinese speakers tend to use “spear （矛） and shield （盾）” 14 （describe） anything that’s contradictory （矛盾的）.Actually， now the Chinese phrase for “contradiction” 15 （call） Mao Dun or “spear and shield”.
Nearly 2，000 years ago， there was a man living in the State of Chu.One day， he went to a market to sell spears and shields — two most common 16 （weapon） at that time.
When a small crowd gathered around the seller to look at his goods， the man 17 （decide） to advertise his shields first.He said，“Please look at my shields.They are certainly the 18 （strong） ones you can ever find in the world.”
Then some of the potential buyers came closer to have a careful examination of the shields， 19 they couldn’t see anything special about them.
The seller then moved on to brag about his spears，“Now please have a good look at my spears.They are the sharpest weapons 20 have ever been produced.So， no matter how firm a shield is， my spears will pierce （刺穿） through it 21 （easy）.”
After listening to the seller’s pitch， a man stepped forward and said，“You just told us that your shields are the strongest in the world and then you claim your spears are the sharpest.How about 22 （use） your spears on your shields？”
The seller was unable to respond.
So today， instead of saying “you are contradicting yourself”， Chinese will say “you are attacking your shield 23 your own spear”.

9.D 根据上文It takes time and effort to improve your confidence， especially if you haven’t had the opportunity to prove your skills in the past.可知，上文讲到提高自信需要时间和精力。又根据下文Start strengthening your self-confidence with these how-to guides.可知，下文承接设空处内容，引出具体建议，设空处与上文是转折关系。故D项符合语境。

语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章简要讲述了中文里的“自相矛盾”这一成语故事。
14.to describe 考查非谓语动词。这里表示人们使用“矛”和“盾”去描述两种相互冲突的事物，因此用动词不定式作目的状语。

16.weapons 考查名词复数。weapon为可数名词单数，因为前面有two一词，因此用它的复数形式。
17.decided 考查动词的时态。根据上下文语境可知，这里应该用一般过去时。
18.strongest 考查形容词的最高级。根据空后的you can ever find in the world 可知，这里应该用形容词的最高级形式。
19.but 考查连词。这里前后两个分句之间存在转折关系，因此用并列连词but。
20.that 考查定语从句。此处先行词weapons前面被形容词最高级修饰，因此用关系代词that引导定语从句。
21.easily 考查词形转换。本空前面有谓语动词pierce，因此这里用副词easily来修饰它。
22.using 考查非谓语动词。How/What about doing sth是固定句型，因此这里用动词-ing形式。
23.with 考查介词。attack your shield with your own spear表示“用你自己的矛攻击你的盾”。

On 20 February 2021， Jasmine Harrison， who’s from England，
without lots of experience in rowing long distances， became the youngest
woman to row alone across the Atlantic Ocean.It took her 70 days， 3
hours and 48 minutes to reach the end of the journey.
Every year， rowers taking part in the Atlantic Campaign set off from
the Canary Islands and row about 3，000 miles across the Atlantic.Some
do the rowing in teams of two， three， or four.Others， like Ms
Harrison， row by themselves.Every day， Harrison would row for about
12 hours， pushing her 550-pound boat across the ocean.On her journey，
Ms Harrison said she survived just on cookies and chocolate.When asked
what she was looking forward to the most， she said， “Food.Definitely
food.”
Harrison had a satellite phone that allowed her to talk with her family
and friends every day.But the journey still left her with a lot of time all by
herself， which she said she enjoyed.But things got a little harder after her
speaker fell in the water and she could no longer listen to her music.
She had other company along the way.She saw several
whales.For several days， she was followed by a small group of
dolphins.“It’s just amazing，” she said.But there was danger，
too.Twice， her boat turned over in the night by large waves， and she
hurt her arm quite badly.Another time， she nearly ran into a
ship.Somehow， she kept going.Finally， she was taking her first steps on
land in over two months.
Ms Harrison’s trip didn’t just set a record； it also raised over ￡18，
500 for two charities：Blue Marine Foundation， which works to control
overfishing， and ShelterBox， which helps people who have suffered
from natural disasters.

The era known as the Age of Exploration， sometimes called the Age
of Discovery， officially began in the early 15th century.The period is
characterized as a time when Europeans began exploring the world by sea
in search of new trading routes， wealth， and knowledge.
Many nations were looking for goods such as silver and gold， but
one of the biggest reasons for exploration was the desire to find a new route
for the spice and silk trades.
The first of the journeys associated with the Age of Discovery were
conducted by the Portuguese.Portuguese explorers discovered the Madeira
Islands in 1419 and the Azores in 1427.Over the coming decades， they
would push farther south along the African coast， reaching the coast of
present-day Senegal by the 1440s and the Cape of Good Hope by
1490.Less than a decade later， in 1498， Vasco da Gama would follow
this route all the way to India.
While the Portuguese were opening new sea routes along Africa， the
Spanish also dreamed of finding new trade routes to the Far
East.Christopher Columbus， an Italian working for the Spanish
monarch， made his first journey in 1492.Instead of reaching India，
Columbus found the island of San Salvador in what is known today as the
Bahamas.He also explored the island of Hispaniola， home of modern-day
Haiti and the Dominican Republic.
Columbus would lead three more voyages to the Caribbean，
exploring parts of Cuba and the Central American coast.
Columbus’ journeys opened the door for the Spanish conquest of the
Americas.During the next century， men such as Hernan Cortes and
Francisco Pizarro would reach Mexico and Peru.
The Age of Exploration ended in the early 17th century after
technological advancements and increased knowledge of the world allowed
Europeans to travel easily across the globe by sea.The Age of Exploration
had a significant impact on geography.By travelling to different regions
around the globe， explorers were able to learn more about areas such as
Africa and the Americas and bring that knowledge back to Europe.

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
（2024·河北百校联盟高一月考）Confidence is a feeling of trust in
your abilities， qualities and judgment.Building confidence is like building
a house.You need to start with a solid foundation， then construct
everything else from there.It takes time and effort to improve your
confidence， especially if you haven’t had the opportunity to prove your
skills in the past. 9 Start strengthening your self-confidence with these
how-to guides.
10 It’s easier said than done， but daily， positive thoughts
about what you’re able to do can improve your confidence.Everyone has
days when staying positive is tough， but force yourself to remember one
good thing you like about who you are every morning until it’s a habit.
Do things you’re good at.What happens when you do things that you
are good at？ 11 Your strengths become even stronger， which helps
improve your belief in yourself.Taking this approach also has another
benefit： It can increase how satisfied you are with your life.
Spend time with positive people.The people around you greatly
impact how you feel about yourself.If judgemental or critical people
surround you， it’ll have negative effects on your mental strength.If，
however， you’re interacting with people who can cheer others on and
support one another， you’ll feel much better. 12
Take care of yourself.Focusing on you and what you need sometimes
feel like it’s selfish， but it’s not！ 13 Taking care of yourself can
help you take care of others， but it can also help boost your self-
confidence.Easy ways to start include taking a break when you’re
overwhelmed （不堪重负的）， wearing your favourite outfit， or doing
something you love.

要建议要进行积极的思考。故E项符合语境。

Ⅲ.语法填空
Chinese speakers tend to use “spear （矛） and shield
（盾）” 14 （describe） anything that’s contradictory （矛盾
的）.Actually， now the Chinese phrase for “contradiction” 15
（call） Mao Dun or “spear and shield”.
Nearly 2，000 years ago， there was a man living in the State of
Chu.One day， he went to a market to sell spears and shields — two most
common 16 （weapon） at that time.
When a small crowd gathered around the seller to look at his goods，
the man 17 （decide） to advertise his shields first.He said，“Please
look at my shields.They are certainly the 18 （strong） ones you can
ever find in the world.”
Then some of the potential buyers came closer to have a careful
examination of the shields， 19 they couldn’t see anything special
about them.
The seller then moved on to brag about his spears，“Now please have
a good look at my spears.They are the sharpest weapons 20 have ever
been produced.So， no matter how firm a shield is， my spears will pierce
（刺穿） through it 21 （easy）.”
After listening to the seller’s pitch， a man stepped forward and
said，“You just told us that your shields are the strongest in the world and
then you claim your spears are the sharpest.How about 22 （use）
your spears on your shields？”
The seller was unable to respond.
So today， instead of saying “you are contradicting yourself”，
Chinese will say “you are attacking your shield 23 your own spear”.
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章简要讲述了中文里的“自相矛盾”
这一成语故事。
14. to describe 考查非谓语动词。这里表示人们使用“矛”和“盾”去描
述两种相互冲突的事物，因此用动词不定式作目的状语。
15. is called 考查动词的时态和语态。这里表示英文中的contradiction
在中文里被叫作“矛盾”，应用被动语态，另外这里陈述一个客观事
实，因此用一般现在时的被动语态。
本文是一篇记叙文。文章简要讲述了中文里的“自相矛盾”
这一成语故事。
16. weapons 考查名词复数。weapon为可数名词单数，因为前面有
two一词，因此用它的复数形式。
17. decided 考查动词的时态。根据上下文语境可知，这里应该用一
般过去时。
18. strongest 考查形容词的最高级。根据空后的you can ever find in
the world 可知，这里应该用形容词的最高级形式。
19. but 考查连词。这里前后两个分句之间存在转折关系，因此用并
列连词but。
20. that 考查定语从句。此处先行词weapons前面被形容词最高级修
饰，因此用关系代词that引导定语从句。
21. easily 考查词形转换。本空前面有谓语动词pierce，因此这里用副
词easily来修饰它。
22. using 考查非谓语动词。How/What about doing sth是固定句型，
因此这里用动词-ing形式。
23. with 考查介词。attack your shield with your own spear表示“用你自
己的矛攻击你的盾”。
谢谢观看！
