Section Ⅰ Starting out & Understanding ideas
The D-DAY LANDINGS
[1]By spring 1944, the Second World War had been raging① across the globe for about five years. But along the south coast of England, something unusual was happening: Allied② troops made up mainly of③ British, Canadian and American soldiers were gathering in large numbers.[2]This marked④ one of the final stages⑤ of a top-secret⑥ operation that had been months, perhaps years, in the planning. Code-named “Operation Overlord”, it was the largest combined⑦ sea, air and land operation in history, [3]the aim being to free north-west Europe from⑧ German occupation⑨.After waiting for the perfect combination of weather, moon and tides, the date for the start of Operation Overlord was set for 6 June.
[1]“by+表示过去的时间点”作时间状语,句子谓语用过去完成时(或过去完成进行时)。
[2]that引导定语从句,修饰先行词operation。
[3]“名词+动词-ing短语”构成的独立主格结构。
An order [4]issued⑩ by Supreme Allied Commander General Eisenhower to the troops read: “Your task will not be an easy one.Your enemy is well trained, well equipped and battle-hardened ...But this is the year 1944 ...The tide has turned! The free men of the world are marching together to Victory! I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty and skill in battle.We will accept nothing less than full Victory!”
[5]With these words ringing in their ears, Allied soldiers prepared for what would become known as D-Day. At dawn on 6 June, thousands landed by parachute behind enemy lines in northern France.Meanwhile, thousands more were journeying across the English Channel to Normandy, protected by fighter planes in the skies above them.Their objective was clear: to reach the Normandy beaches along about 80 kilometres of French coastline.But even in the depths of war, few could have been prepared for the violence and horror [6]they would experience there.
[4]过去分词短语issued by ...作后置定语。
[5]With these words ringing in their ears是with复合结构作状语;what引导宾语从句,且在从句中作主语。
[6]they would experience there是省略了关系代词that或which的定语从句。
The fiercest fighting was at Omaha Beach.The enemy were hiding, ready to attack the Allied soldiers even before they reached land.[7]Boats were hit and men drowned, while those who did make it to the beach faced heavy machine gunfire. By mid-morning, hundreds lay dead in the water and amongst the tanks on the beach.One soldier recalled [8]how he barely made it with bombs falling all around him: “I was the first one out.The seventh man was the next one to get across the beach without being hit.All the ones in between were hit.Two were killed; three were injured.That’s how lucky you had to be.”
[7]while连接并列句,意为“而,然而”,表示对比;who引导定语从句。
[8]how引导宾语从句,且句中含有with复合结构。
But, despite the high cost in human life, the D-Day landings were a success and were seen widely as the beginning of the end of the Second World War.By the end of August 1944, the Allies had reached the River Seine, Paris was liberated and the Germans had been removed from north-west France.The Allied forces then prepared to enter Germany, [9]where they would meet up with the Soviet military moving in from the east.
Seventy years later, men who had fought on D-Day gathered on both sides of the English Channel, where people were coming together for memorial ceremonies.As part of this solemn and moving occasion , a former soldier read out to the crowd these lines from the poem For the Fallen, by Laurence Binyon:
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn .
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
Survivors of the D-Day landings continue to meet to remember the fellow soldiers and friends they lost that day.[10]Although each year they are fewer in number, their outstanding acts of courage mean that we will always remember them — as well as those who lost their lives on the beaches of northern France.
[9]where引导定语从句;动词-ing短语moving in from the east作后置定语。
[10]Although引导让步状语从句;that引导宾语从句;who引导定语从句,修饰先行词those。

诺曼底登陆
1944年春天,第二次世界大战的战火已经席卷全球大约五年之久。但是在英格兰的南部海岸正发生着不寻常的事情:由英国、加拿大和美国士兵组成的盟军正在大量聚集。这标志着一场计划了数月,甚至可能是数年的绝密行动终于进入了最后阶段。这次作战行动的代号为“霸王行动”,它是历史上规模最大的海、陆、空三方力量集结的行动,目的是解放德国占领的欧洲西北部地区。在确保天气、月亮和潮水三者达到最佳结合点后,“霸王行动”最终定在了6月6日。
盟军最高司令艾森豪威尔将军在鼓舞军队士气时说道:“你们的任务将不会轻松。敌人训练有素、武器精良,而且久经沙场……但今年是1944年……时局已经发生转变!全世界自由的人们正在一起向胜利前进!我对你们的勇气、责任心和作战能力十分有信心。我们将迎接的只会是彻底的胜利!”
盟军士兵耳中回荡着这些话语,做好了登陆诺曼底的准备。6月6日清晨,数千名士兵在法国北部空降在敌人后方。与此同时,更有数千名士兵在战斗机的保护下,穿越英吉利海峡,在诺曼底登陆。他们的目标十分明确:到达法国海岸线约80千米外的诺曼底海滩。但就算是深陷战争,也很少有人能够做好准备,面临即将发生的残暴和恐怖。
奥马哈海滩的情况最不容乐观。敌人藏身于各个地方,准备在盟军登陆前就开始进攻。船被击翻,一些人落水而亡,而那些成功登陆的人面对的则是机关枪的猛烈扫射。上午10点左右已有上百人在水中或在海滩上的坦克之间阵亡。一名士兵事后回忆他是如何在轰炸中侥幸脱险的:“我是第一个冲出来的人,第七个冲出来的士兵是第二个穿过海滩没有被击中的,我俩之间的士兵全被击中了,其中有两人死亡,三人受伤。真的是要有天大的幸运才能躲过这一劫。”
尽管伤亡惨重,诺曼底登陆还是取得了成功,并且被人们普遍视为第二次世界大战结束的开端。在1944年8月底,盟军抵达塞纳河,解放了巴黎,从法国西北部赶走了德国人。之后盟军准备进攻德国,而苏联军队也正从德国东部攻入,两军相遇。
70年后,曾在诺曼底登陆中奋战的将士聚集在英吉利海峡两岸,人们共同参加纪念仪式。在庄重感人的仪式上,一位当时参战的老兵向众人朗读了劳伦斯·比尼恩《谨献给阵亡将士》一诗中的一段:
我们会日渐衰老,但他们永远不会老去:
他们永远不为年龄所难,永远不为岁月所累。
每当夕阳西下,每当清晨来临,
我们都会想起他们。
诺曼底登陆的幸存者每年都会相聚并纪念他们在登陆那天失去的战友和朋友。虽然每年相聚的人越来越少,但他们的英勇壮举将会让我们永远铭记他们,以及那些在法国北部海滩上阵亡的士兵。

In the late 1930s, people could donate blood, but very few hospitals could store it for later use. Whole blood breaks down quickly, and there were no methods at the time for safely preserving it. As a result, hospitals often did not have the appropriate blood type when patients needed it. Charles Drew, a Black surgeon and researcher, helped solve this monumental problem for medicine, earning him the title “Father of the Blood Bank”.
In 1938, while obtaining his doctorate in medicine, Drew became a fellow at Columbia University’s Presbyterian Hospital in New York. He studied the storage and distribution of blood, including the separation of its components, and applied his findings to an experimental blood bank at the hospital.
As Drew was finishing his degree at Columbia, World War Ⅱ was erupting in Europe. Great Britain was asking the United States for desperately needed plasma (血浆) to help victims. Given his expertise, Drew was selected to be the medical director for the Blood for Britain campaign. Using Presbyterian Hospital’s blood bank as a model, Drew established uniform procedures and standards for collecting blood and processing blood plasma from nine New York hospitals. The five-month campaign collected donations from 15,000 Americans and was considered a success. His discoveries and his leadership saved countless lives.
With the increasing likelihood that the nation would be drawn into war, the United States wanted to capitalize on what Drew had learned from the campaign. He was appointed as the assistant director of a three-month pilot program to mass-produce dried plasma in New York, which became the model for the first Red Cross blood bank. His innovations for this program included mobile blood donation stations, later called bloodmobiles.

During the 1910s, the Great War broke out. A 25-year-old American soldier probably never thought that his life would change forever when he volunteered to go to France.
One night while the American troops were returning to the base after a bloody fight, Suleyman stumbled to the ground and noticed a bit of movement from the bush. Being stuck between two choices, either an enemy or an animal, Suleyman found a five-year-old girl from the bush trembling with cold and utmost horror. Due to the atrocity of the war, the girl was abandoned by her family and the whole village was killed.
During the war, it was impossible to find the child’s family so Suleyman took this little French girl under his wings and gave her an American name Flora which meant the flower. Soon, Flora became the apple of the eye of everyone living in the army camp.
For one and a half years, Flora and Suleyman became inseparable; however, every fairy tale came to an end.When the war ended, Suleyman was sent back to the USA, while Flora was put in an orphanage, the Normandy School, which was founded by the American government for orphaned French children to have an education.
For years, Suleyman always thought about Flora. When the French National Olympic Team was playing in the Summer Olympics in Los Angeles in 1984, Suleyman gazed through the audience on TV, hoping to catch a glimpse of Flora, but he never could.
At the age of 85, Suleyman attended the 60th anniversary reception of the Great War where Suleyman shared his story with American and French officials. After hearing his story, a French journalist started to investigate the story, and all government files were read in detail. The moment the journalist helped dial the number, in tears, Flora said Suleyman was her hero, and everything came flooding back to her.

A.Cruelty. B.Challenge.
C.Range. D.Stress.
解析:A 词义猜测题。根据画线词下文of the war, the girl was abandoned by her family and the whole village was killed可知,这个女孩被家人抛弃,整个村庄的人都被杀了。由此可知,战争血雨腥风、十分残酷,故画线词意为“残酷”。cruelty残酷;challenge挑战;range范围;stress压力。
6.Why did Suleyman watch the 1984 Summer Olympics?( )
A.Because Flora might be in the French team.
B.Because Suleyman was greatly interested in sports.
C.Because Flora might be watching the event.
D.Because Suleyman wanted to travel to Los Angeles.
解析:C 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的When the French National Olympic Team ...Suleyman gazed through the audience on TV, hoping to catch a glimpse of Flora, but he never could.可知,Suleyman观看1984年夏季奥运会是因为Flora可能在看比赛。

A.Flora and Suleyman became attached to each other.
B.Flora was sent to an orphanage called Normandy.
C.Suleyman found some animals in the bush.

8.Which can serve as the best title for the text?( )
A.A Tough Flower in the War
B.The Influence of the War
C.The Lost and Found Love
D.The Apple of the Father’s Eye
解析:C 标题归纳题。根据文章内容可知,本文讲述了一个美国士兵在第一次世界大战期间救了一个法国小女孩,两人在一年半的时间里形影不离,后因故分开,最后又取得了联系的故事。由此可知,C项(失而复得的爱)适合作本文最佳标题。

On the eve of the 77th anniversary of the D-Day landings, I found myself on Omaha Beach, leading a small band of college students into the past.
For more than 20 years, my co-workers and I have taken students from the University of Texas at Austin to Europe as the highlight of half-year-long study of World War Ⅱ. There’s nothing like being there to discover what happened there 77 years ago or how much it can teach us today.
We board a bus and enter the American cemetery (墓地).A staff member greets us and tells us about the 9,380 graveyards here. We turn to face the cemetery as the national anthem (国歌) plays over the loudspeaker. Tears well up in my eyes at the memory of my father, who flew for 30 missions over France and Germany in the spring and summer of 1944.
Each student receives a yellow rose to place at the grave of a Texan soldier. The headstones give us only the name, rank, unit, home state and date of death. We can guess how old they were, for the students are about the same age.
We return to the beach and look at the peaceful scene that we know was anything but peaceful 77 years ago. “Bloody Omaha” was the deadliest beach of the landings. More than 2,400 Americans were killed or wounded, or went missing in action. No one who survived ever forgot it.
Our students understand the sacrifices made that day and the cost of war, both humans and materials. They face a world different from the one their grandfathers and great-grandfathers lived in but just as complex and even more dangerous.

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Sheri Rosenblum learned about the Holocaust (纳粹大屠杀) the same way most kids did.13.( ).“It was like watching a horror movie. I really did not understand it. It was totally the wrong way to be introduced to it,” she said.14.( ).Sheri works at the Jewish Partisan Educational Foundation (JPEF), an organization focusing on teaching students about the thousands of Jews who fought back against Hitler’s plans to kill them.
During World War Ⅱ, as many as 30,000 Jews joined resistance groups throughout Europe. Known as partisans (游击队员), they formed their own fighting units and also joined non-Jewish partisan armies to fight against Hitler’s forces. 15.( ).Eta Wrobel, a 20-year-old Jewish girl, escaped into the woods and helped form an all-Jewish partisan unit. Some partisans were even younger. In France, 12-year-old Bernard Musmand helped the Jewish Resistance by working as a courier (通讯员). At age 13, he joined partisan military actions against the Nazis, according to the JPEF.
These are all kinds of stories that the JPEF is working to spread.The organization has interviewed dozens of former Jewish partisans about their experiences during the Holocaust. 16.( ).“Students will say,‘I always pictured the Jews as victims. However, learning about this as a young Jew makes me feel proud to be Jewish,’” she said.
There are lessons for non-Jewish students too, of course.17.( ):young people can make a difference; stand up to oppression (压迫) early before it’s too late; never give up.
A.Many of them were youngsters
B.Unfortunately, this is the truth
C.Most of the partisans were Jewish girls
D.Now she’s working to tell a different part of this history
E.Sheri said that sharing the stories with Jewish students is invaluable
F.She was taught about the violent act of Nazi camps and shown pictures of Jewish survivors
G.Jewish partisans told the JPEF they hoped future generations would take three things from their example
语篇解读:本文是一篇新闻报道。谢瑞·罗森布卢姆致力于宣传犹太游击队员反抗纳粹暴行的历史故事,为当代青少年呈现出不同于以往的历史视角。
13.F F项提到的the violent act of Nazi camps与该空后一句提到的It was like watching a horror movie.相呼应,指出主人公谢瑞·罗森布卢姆和其他孩子一样受到的战争教育强化了纳粹的暴行和犹太人的软弱,符合语境。
14.D 根据空后一句可知,谢瑞向学生们宣扬犹太人反抗希特勒屠杀计划的历史,D项提到她努力讲述这段历史的不同部分,与上文It was totally the wrong way to be introduced to it相呼应,符合语境。
15.A 根据下文Some partisans were even younger.可知,许多游击队员是年轻人,故A项符合语境。
16.E 根据下文learning about this as a young Jew makes me feel proud to be Jewish可知,了解这些历史故事让犹太学生产生民族自豪感。因此,分享这些历史故事对犹太学生来说是极有用的,故E项符合语境。
17.G 该空后提到了这些历史给非犹太学生的三个启示,这与G项中的three things相呼应。
16 / 16Section Ⅲ Developing ideas
LIANDA:A PLACE OF PASSION①, BELIEF AND COMMITMENT
Throughout history, the great thinkers of the world have often rather romantically② referred to their academic③ struggles as④ being like “war”.However, for most of them, the “war” has been purely symbolic⑤.[1]Real war is never romantic as it brings suffering and immense⑥ challenges.
In 1937, the aggression⑦ of the Japanese army brought disaster to China’s three great universities: Peking University and Tsinghua University were occupied⑧ by Japanese troops,[2]while Nankai University was completely destroyed by bombing⑨.To save their educational and intellectual⑩ heritage, the three universities joined together in Kunming as National Southwest Associated University, otherwise known as Lianda.
[1]as引导原因状语从句。
[2]while连接的并列句,while意为“而,然而”,表示对比两种事物。
Professors and students alike in the three universities made an epic journey over a distance of more than 2,000 kilometres, most of them on foot.Their bed was the dusty road and their roof was the open sky, often lit up by exploding Japanese bombs.Conditions were little better once they reached the remote and mountainous south-west part of China.They had to live in rough buildings, packed 40 to a room, like sardines.There were dire shortages of food, books, and equipment.Furthermore, classes were frequently disrupted due to fierce air attacks and often had to be held before 10 am and after 4 pm.
However, despite the immense hardships and the daunting challenges, [3]it was right in this place, over a period of eight long years, that the nation’s intellectual heritage was not only guarded but fortified by the passion and belief of the worthy academics of Lianda.[4]It is no wonder that many, if not most, of China’s leading scholars and scientists emerged at Lianda, including the two Nobel Prize-winning physicists, Yang Zhenning and Li Zhengdao.“Lianda laid the foundation for every achievement I have made,” Yang recalled.He still remembers learning in a temporary classroom that had no glass in the windows.“On windy days, we had to hold down the paper on the desk, which would otherwise be blown away,” he said.
With the country at war, students at Lianda were not going to shirk their duty.[5]Driven by a sense of commitment , a great many joined the army to resist the Japanese invaders and defend the honour of the nation. In fact, Lianda provided the largest number of student-soldiers from any campus in China.Of the thousands of college students from all over China who served as interpreters, one tenth were from Lianda, including the well-known translators Zha Liangzheng and Xu Yuanchong.Zha later depicted the contributions of his peers in a poem:
[3]本句为强调句,强调地点状语right in this place,时间状语over a period of eight long years作插入语,还包含了not only ...but (also) ...句型。
[4]本句真正的主语为that引导的主语从句,it为形式主语;if not most为省略句。
[5]句中Driven by a sense of commitment是过去分词短语作原因状语,and连接两个并列的动词不定式短语作目的状语。
Softly, on the hillside forgotten by all,
A misty rain falls in a gentle breeze;
There is no trace of the footprints of history;
Where brave souls once stood, breathing new life into the trees.
A product of the war, Lianda is now physically gone.But it has become the crowning glory of China’s modern universities, not only because of its prominent professors and talented students, but also because of the school’s strong spirit of perseverance and dedication .In 2017, representatives from Peking University, Tsinghua University, Nankai University and Yunnan Normal University gathered to commemorate the 80th anniversary of its founding.
More than eighty years on, the priceless contribution of Lianda still needs to be reaffirmed.It has become part of the collective memory of the Chinese nation, with its spirit as the blueprint for all universities in China in the modern era .

【参考译文】
联大:一个充满热情、信念和奉献的地方
纵观历史,世界上伟大的思想家们常常以一种浪漫的说法把他们的学术之争比喻为“战争”。然而,对他们中的大多数人来说,“战争”一词纯粹是象征性的。真正的战争从来不是浪漫的,因为它会带来痛苦和巨大的挑战。
1937年,日军的侵略给中国三所著名大学带来了灾难:北京大学和清华大学被日本军队占领,南开大学被彻底炸毁。为了保护教育和知识遗产,这三所大学在昆明联合成立了国立西南联合大学,简称联大。
这三所大学的教授和学生们完成了一次长达2,000多千米的漫长而艰辛的行程,他们中的大部分人都是徒步完成的。他们以尘土飞扬的道路为床,以开阔的、经常被日军的炸弹照亮的天空为屋顶。到了中国西南部的偏远山区后,情况也没有好多少。他们不得不住在简陋的房子里,40个人像沙丁鱼一样挤在一间屋子里,食物、书籍和设备严重短缺。此外,由于猛烈的空袭,课堂经常中断,因此上课时间往往在上午10点前和下午4点后。
然而,尽管面临着巨大的困难和艰巨的挑战,在这个地方,经过八年漫长的岁月,国家的知识遗产不仅得到了保护,还得到了强化,这些都归功于联大杰出学者们的热情和信念。难怪即使不是大多数,但也有许多中国领先的学者和科学家都是联大出身,包括两位诺贝尔奖得主,物理学家杨振宁和李政道。“联大为我所取得的每项成就奠定了基础。”杨振宁回忆道。他还记得在一间窗户没有玻璃的临时教室里学习。“在刮风的日子里,我们不得不把纸按在桌子上,否则纸就会被风吹走。”他说。
国家正处于战争状态,联大的学生们不会逃避他们的责任。在献身精神的驱使下,许多人参军抵抗日本侵略者,保卫国家的荣誉。事实上,联大输送的学生士兵的数量是中国所有校园中最多的。在来自全国各地担任翻译的数千名大学生中,有十分之一的人来自联大,其中包括著名的翻译家查良铮和许渊冲。查良铮后来在一首诗中描述了他的同龄人所做的贡献:
静静的,在那被遗忘的山坡上,
还下着密雨,还吹着细风,
没有人知道历史曾在此走过,
留下了英灵化入树干而滋生。
作为战争的产物,联大现在已经不复存在。但它已经成为中国现代大学的最高荣耀,这不仅仅是因为那些杰出的教授和才华横溢的学生,也因为联大坚韧不拔和勇于奉献的精神。2017年,北京大学、清华大学、南开大学和云南师范大学的代表们齐聚一堂,共同纪念联大建校80周年。
尽管已经历经80多年,联大做出的无价贡献仍值得重申。它已成为中华民族集体记忆的一部分,联大精神更是描绘了现代中国所有大学的蓝图。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
I am a Canadian artist living in Victoria. My work focuses on peace. My art helps me find answers, or at least deal with some of the worrying realities of the modern day.
My trips to Baghdad standing for peace caused huge stress for my family and me. It took a few years before I was able to come to accept that whole experience and work out how to continue to work as an artist.I put my energy into creating natural art facilities that awoke a sense of peace in myself and others. I set up my first project in a large field, using a simple parent-child design. I later did two similar, small works, one in Scotland and the other in Baghdad.
I wanted to create something more permanent (长久的), however, and so I created the Peace Image in Hudson’s Hope. It can’t be seen very well on the ground these days, because the locals just loved riding over the large piles of dirt. I don’t mind that at all. The Peace Image still turns up well from the air and on Google Maps though.
For more than 50 years now, I’ve felt pleased to be able to express myself through my art. In the autumn of 2013, I was encouraged to lead the creation of a Peace Garden art project at Woodwynn Farms in Central Saanich. After everything we had been through, it was such a gift to work closely with my wife, Elizabeth Wellburn, a talented artist. It was and still is a labour of love.

If you want to tell the history of the whole world, a history that does not privilege one part of humanity, you cannot do it through texts alone, because only some of the world has ever had texts, while most of the world, for most of the time, has not. Writing is one of humanity’s later achievements, and until fairly recently even many literate (有文字的) societies recorded their concerns not only in writing but in things.
Ideally a history would bring together texts and objects, and some chapters of this book are able to do just that, but in many cases we simply can’t. The clearest example of this between literate and non-literate history is perhaps the first conflict, at Botany Bay, between Captain Cook’s voyage and the Australian Aboriginals. From the English side, we have scientific reports and the captain’s record of that terrible day. From the Australian side, we have only a wooden shield (盾) dropped by a man in flight after his first experience of gunshot. If we want to reconstruct what was actually going on that day, the shield must be questioned and interpreted as deeply and strictly as the written reports.
In addition to the problem of miscomprehension from both sides, there are victories accidentally or deliberately twisted, especially when only the victors know how to write. Those who are on the losing side often have only their things to tell their stories. The Caribbean Taino, the Australian Aboriginals, the African people of Benin and the Incas, all of whom appear in this book, can speak to us now of their past achievements most powerfully through the objects they made: a history told through things gives them back a voice. When we consider contact between literate and non-literate societies such as these, all our first-hand accounts are necessarily twisted, only one half of a dialogue. If we are to find the other half of that conversation, we have to read not just the texts, but the objects.

Is war unavoidable?Can war be prevented?
History tells that there were wars, great or small, in every century, in every decade.Throughout the ages, from the Stone Age to the Atomic Age, men have been fighting, first with swords and shields (盾), then with guns and cannons, and now, hydrogen bombs and missiles are used for military purposes.But, in spite of all these, it is still my belief that war can be prevented and peace can be won, but it requires the effort of every one of us.
I am sure that we would not like to experience another world war.If it ever happens, two-thirds of the world and much of the civilisation which men have gained through time, patience and effort will be destroyed.Will then the remaining one-third of the world be able to survive on its own?
Our task now is not to blame the past, but to plan for the future.
If there is peace in the world, men can use their rockets to explore the mystery of space, their submarines to explore the depth of the sea, their missiles to deliver mails and their fine equipment to penetrate (穿透) the jungles of Africa, instead of using them militarily.
Governments can use their money to build more schools, so that more children can be educated to be useful citizens.Scientists can use atomic energy to propel (推动) steamships and planes.They can also design new machines to increase the production of goods and thus improve the way of living of the people.
How can a peaceful world be achieved?It requires, in my opinion, the understanding and friendship between all people from all nations.Let no one suffer discrimination by reason of colour, race, religion, or national origin.Let the rich support the poor and the strong help the weak.
We know that neither peace nor such a dream world can come true in a day or a month.It may even take decades or centuries.But let us plan and begin now.

Do you know some surprising innovations that came from World War Ⅰ? Here are some introductions.
Daylight Saving Time
The idea of fiddling (不停摆弄) with the clock has been around since ancient times, but it was not until World WarⅠ that governments around the globe officially adopted daylight saving time. Why? To save resources such as fuel and extend the workday for the war effort. 13.( ), and the Allies followed shortly after. To clear up confusion about the concept, a newspaper used a comic strip to explain the first “spring forward” in the United States in 1918.
Blood Banks
14.( ), but doctors barely performed them before World War Ⅰ, when they were accomplished by transfusing blood directly from one person to another. Captain Oswald Robertson, a US Army Reserve doctor consulting with the British army, recognized the need to stock blood before casualties(伤员) emerged.
Hollywood
With so much of Europe in the gunfire, the European film industry had to scale back (缩减) dramatically.15.( ). Hollywood was still in its early stage, but its studios soon made fortunes producing wartime movies. The war itself provided material for countless movies in the 1920s and 1930s, including Wings, the winner of the first Academy Awards.
Plastic Surgery
16.( ). British army surgeon Harold Gillies and his colleagues performed more than 11,000 operations, mostly on soldiers suffering from facial wounds from gunshots. 17.( ).
There were other innovations made during World WarⅠ, such as wristwatches, modern passports, zippers, drones, etc.
A.The Germans did it first in 1916
B.That opened the door for the Americans
C.Blood transfusions (输血) date back to the 1600s
D.Gillies’ operation became successful immediately
E.World War Ⅰ left thousands of men scarred and maimed
F.Gillies became known as the father of modern plastic surgery
G.After World WarⅠ the blood banks appeared in the United States

17.F 空前提到:英国的军医Harold Gillies和他的同事们给很多在战争中受伤的士兵做手术,这些手术大部分针对因枪击导致面部受伤的士兵。F项(Gillies作为现代整形外科手术之父而出名)与上文形成因果关系,符合语境。

17 / 17Section Ⅱ Using language
主谓一致(1)
①Your enemy is well trained, well equipped and battle-hardened ...
②The enemy were hiding, ready to attack the Allied soldiers even before they reached land.
③Seventy years later, men who had fought on D-Day gathered on both sides of the English Channel, where people were coming together for memorial ceremonies.
【我的发现】
1.句①、句②中,enemy是集体名词,当集体名词表示一个整体时,谓语动词用 单 数形式;表示组成集体的成员时,谓语动词用 复 数形式。
2.句③中,集体名词表示复数含义,作主语时谓语通常也用 复 数形式。
一、主谓一致概述
主谓一致是指句子的谓语动词在“人称”和“数”上必须和主语保持一致。一般可根据三个原则来确定:意义一致原则、语法一致原则和就近一致原则。本章节我们主要讲解意义一致原则。
二、意义一致原则的用法
主语和谓语动词的一致关系并非取决于语法上的单复数形式,而是取决于主语的单复数意义。比如有时主语在语法形式上并非复数形式,但表示复数含义,随后的谓语动词便用复数形式;反之,主语在语法形式上是复数形式,而在意义上可视为单数,随后的谓语动词也用单数形式。这种一致关系叫作“意义一致”。用法如下:
1.集体名词作主语时的主谓一致
(1)集体名词作主语,如果表示一个整体概念时,谓语动词就用单数形式;如果强调组成集体的各个成员时,谓语动词就用复数形式。常见的这类名词有: family, class, team, group, enemy, army, audience, band, club, crowd, staff, committee, company, crew, government, public等。
There was a big audience at the evening party.
晚会上观众很多。
The audience were all deeply impressed by the plot.
剧情给观众留下了深刻的印象。
The football team is being organized.
这支足球队正在组建。
(2)个别集体名词,如people, police, cattle等作主语,谓语动词必须用复数形式。
How many people were present at the meeting?
有多少人参加了会议?
The cattle are grazing at the foot of the hill.
牛群正在山脚下吃草。
2.单复数同形的名词作主语时的主谓一致
单复数同形的名词作主语时,根据其意义是单数概念还是复数概念来判断谓语用单数还是用复数,如means,sheep, deer, works等。
Every means has been tried many times.
每一种办法都已经被尝试过很多次了。
All possible means have been tried many times.
所有可能的方法都试过很多次了。
This works was built in 1982.
这个工厂是1982年建的。
3.单数概念的复数形式名词作主语时的主谓一致
单数概念的复数形式名词(如学科、机构、书名、剧名、国名等)作主语时,谓语通常用单数形式,如:physics,mathematics/maths,economics,politics,gymnastics,the United States,the United Nations,A Dream in Red Mansions, Anderson’s Fairy Tales等。
Mathematics seems to be difficult to me.
数学对我而言似乎很难。
The Arabian Nights is a very interesting book.
《一千零一夜》是一本非常有趣的书。

③A committee of five men and three women is (be) to consider the matter.
④At this time yesterday the police were seeking (seek) more information from witnesses.
⑤Physics is (be) a difficult subject for most students.
4.“两部分”概念的物体名词作主语时的主谓一致
由两部分组成的物体名词作主语时,谓语动词常用复数形式。但是如果这些词由单位词(a pair of, a kind of, a suit of, a piece of等)修饰时,单位词的单复数决定谓语动词的单复数。这类名词有chopsticks, compasses, glasses, gloves, jeans, pants, scissors, shoes, shorts, socks, trousers等。
My trousers are white and his clothes are black.
我的裤子是白色的,他的衣服是黑色的。
A pair of scissors is lying in that drawer.
那个抽屉里放着一把剪刀。
These kinds of glasses are very popular this summer.
这几种眼镜今年夏天很受欢迎。
5.表示距离、时间、长度、金额等的名词短语作主语时的主谓一致
当名词短语的中心词为表示距离、时间、长度、金额等的复数名词时,往往把这些复数名词看作一个整体,谓语动词用单数形式。这类复数名词有miles, dollars, pounds, kilograms, kilometres, centimetres, millimetres, seconds, hours, years等。
Three weeks is a long time to wait for an answer.
对于等待一个答案来说,三周是一段很长的时间。
Twenty kilometres is a quite long distance.
二十公里是一段相当长的距离。
6.“the+形容词或过去分词”表示一类人作主语时的主谓一致
“the+形容词或过去分词”表示一类人时,谓语动词用复数形式;如 “the+形容词”指一个人或表示一种抽象概念或品质时,谓语动词用单数形式。
The wounded were saved by the villagers at last.
最后,伤员们被村民们救起。
The wounded in the accident was a policeman.

Ⅰ.阅读理解

Kateryna Shcherbyna has been worried since the war broke out.As a horse owner and trainer, she saw that her horses were having trouble getting grain and hay (草料). “The problem that arose with the beginning of the war was the delivery of horses’ feed,” Shcherbyna tells Treehugger, a website. “It’s hard to have all the year stock of hay at the place; the land is quite expensive around here.”
Typically, stables (马房) keep their feed as distantly as 250 miles from the barn (棚舍). “That’s why it was impossible to bring a big truck with the feed to our area during the war. It was dangerous because of the bombs and an enormous number of block posts everywhere,” she says.
Shcherbyna came up with an idea to get a small bus to at least bring small amounts of feed to each stable. A friend brought her a minibus. Then, she drove almost every day to bring hay and grain from the stock not far from her home to the stables she was able to reach.
Besides, Shcherbyna created Help Ukrainian Horses, a Facebook group where people could ask for or offer assistance. While volunteers were able to help the animals that were still in stables, there were other horses that had to live on their own when their owners ran away for safety. “There were a lot of stables on the line of the fire and the only way to be safe was to release horses and get away as fast as possible. It was not possible to take care of them. There were military actions,” Shcherbyna says.
Shcherbyna, who is hoping to find a horse-related position abroad, says she has stayed safe so far.“Luckily, I didn’t get shot during my drives. Although there were some battle planes flying above us, I was lucky enough to live in a village where we did not have any military actions,” she says.

On 26 January 1945, Audie Murphy and some 40 US troops sat shaking in the cold near the Alsatian town of Holtzwihr. Just after 2 p.m., the stillness of winter was suddenly broken. In the distance, some 250 German troops and 6 tanks emerged from the woods.
At just 19 years old, the baby-faced Texan had already won two Silver Stars and the Distinguished Service Cross, and he was leading men 10 years his senior into battle.
Murphy knew that his men stood no chance against so large a force, so he instructed most of them to withdraw to pre-prepared defensive positions along a nearby tree line. As they ran for cover, he stayed behind and used his field telephone to call in an artillery strike. He did not have enough time to contact their artillery commander before salvos(齐射) of German tank fire erupted around him.
Murphy saw their tank destroyer slowly burning, but he saw that its machine was still operational. He quickly seized the gun and opened fire on the German troops nearest his position.
From their cover on the edge of the tree line, most of Murphy’s troops could only watch in shock. “I expected to see the whole tank destroyer blow up under him any minute,”Private Anthony Abramski later wrote. In fact, the blaze may have saved Murphy’s life. Many of the German troops and tank commanders couldn’t see him behind the smoke and flames.
Audie Murphy was called a national hero and awarded the Medal of Honor. Murphy returned home in June 1945. He later started a film career that included more than 40 credits, most of them in Westerns and war films. Reliving the horrors of combat in front of the camera proved difficult for Murphy, who had suffered from nightmares and flashbacks since returning home. He later urged the US government to provide better mental health care for its soldiers. He also hoped people would always live in peace.

Reading a new book of ancient stories translated by great writers, I was surprised to discover how widely the tale of the Trojan War has been told down the ages.A diverse range of authors have been moved to translate various versions of the classical myth (神话).One reason the Trojan War has struck such a chord is that, besides being an excellent story, it has long been suspected to have actually happened.
It isn’t surprising that people have been convinced of the reality of the Trojan War.The cruel realities of battle are described so unflinchingly (果敢地) in The Iliad, an ancient Greek epic (史诗) by Homer, that it is hard to believe they were not based on observation.Troy, the ancient city located at Hisarlik in present-day Turkey, is described in such vivid colour in the epic that a reader cannot help but be transported to its splendid walls.
It was in fact the possibility of rediscovering Homer’s Troy that led the rich Prussian businessman, Heinrich Schliemann, to travel to Hisarlik in the late 19th century.Told of a possible location for the city, Schliemann began to dig, and uncovered a large number of ancient treasures, many of which are now on display at the British Museum.Although he initially thought many finds belonged to the period in which Homer set the Trojan War when they were in fact centuries older, he had dug the correct location.Most historians agree that ancient Troy was to be found at Hisarlik.Troy was real.
But a historic Trojan War would have been quite different from the one that dominates Homer’s epic.It is hard to imagine a war taking place on quite the scale the poet described, and lasting as long as 10 years when the citadel (城堡) was fairly small.Whether the Trojan War myth was inspired by a war waged long ago, or was just an original invention, it left its mark on the world, and is still of exceptional historic importance.

解析:D 词义猜测题。根据画线部分前的内容可知,作者在阅读一本由多位伟大作家翻译的古代故事书时惊讶地发现,特洛伊战争的故事随处可见。众多作家都受到感动,翻译了这则古典神话的各种版本。由此可推知,画线部分指的是特洛伊战争能够“触动很多人的心弦”。
10.What does Paragraph 2 tell us about the tale of the Trojan War described in The Iliad?( )
A.It is too true to life.
B.It falls short of details.
C.It is based on observation.
D.It focuses on brave soldiers.
解析:A 推理判断题。通读第二段可知,人们相信特洛伊战争是真实发生过的,这一点并不奇怪。由荷马创作的古希腊史诗《伊利亚特》描述了残酷的战争场景,那些描述如此果敢,让人很难相信它们不是基于观察来进行描写的。荷马对特洛伊古城的描述非常生动,仿佛把读者带入了这座古城。由此推知,《伊利亚特》中描述的特洛伊战争故事太过逼真。
11.What caused Heinrich Schliemann’s visit to Hisarlik?( )
A.His love for traveling.
B.The chance of finding Troy.
C.His ambition to expand his business.
D.The possibility of uncovering ancient treasures.
解析:B 细节理解题。根据第三段中的It was in fact ... the late 19th century.可知,事实上,在19世纪后期,正是因为有发现特洛伊古城的可能性,普鲁士富商海因里希·施里曼才前往希沙里克。
12.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?( )
A.Did the Trojan War Actually Happen?
B.Homer: a True “Influencer” Back Then
C.Ancient Troy: the City and the Legend
D.What Inspired Homer to Write The Iliad?
解析:A 标题归纳题。通读全文可知,第一段首先介绍了特洛伊战争的故事引起了大家的共鸣,其中一个原因就是一直有人怀疑那场战争是真实发生过的;第二段和第三段介绍了很多人认为特洛伊战争是真实历史事件的原因;最后一段指出,实际情况与荷马描写的情况可能大不相同,但不论事实如何,特洛伊战争都具有特殊的历史意义。因此A项为本文最佳标题。

So why not take the whole family to the museum this Sunday?

Entrance to the museum is free on Sundays, but it would normally cost $3.25 to go and see the film.To get your free tickets, you should e-mail this program by midday on Friday.We’ve only got a limited number of tickets, so the earlier you e-mail us, the more likely you are to get one.
So go ahead with the writing after this song.

War and love should never be mixed together, but when it does, some stories are made during its experience.Here are some books about love stories which are set in wartime.
War Bonds by Cindy Hval

Eve of a Hundred Midnights by Bill Lascher
Bill Lascher had always wanted to be a reporter, and soon discovered his cousin had lived the life he dreamed of living.A month after his grandmother gifted him with his cousin’s typewriter used during World War Ⅱ, he slowly uncovered the story told in this book.
Just as World War Ⅱ broke out, Melville and Annalee Jacoby, both war reporters, were faced with a life-and-death decision.Having been married for just a month, the couple had to run for their lives to escape being caught by their enemy.
GI Brides: The Wartime Girls Who Crossed the Atlantic for Love by Duncan Barrett and Nuala Calvi
This book tells the stories from the women in England who married American soldiers.Each GI Bride has her own unique hopes and fears during a time of war when their ever happy dreams are redefined (重新定义) by war, cultural differences, countries, and an uncertain future.
Love Stories of World War Ⅱ by Larry King
Each love story in this book is unique in its own way, but they all share a common topic: love overcomes all.Each couple interviewed shares how they met,how they fell in love,the difficulties they faced and how their love grew stronger leading to marriages that lasted a lifetime.

(2024·河南青桐鸣高二下联考)Harris County expands the mobile library program with an addition of the fourth Curiosity Cruiser (巡航车).Instead of sweet music through a speaker system attached to the roof, the sides of the cruisers are decorated with cartoon images of superheroes.And the vehicles are not filled with frozen treats, but rather a collection of books, electronics and other materials that can help children learn.
“When kids see a cruiser coming into their community, they start running for it,” Melton, the director of the Houston-area library system, said.“They’re excited about it.They’re excited about reading and getting a book they can take home.”
Melton said the Curiosity Cruisers program has distributed (分发) more than 69,000 books to more than 55,000 Houston-area children, focusing on reaching low-income parts of the region where there are no nearby public libraries.Children up to age 18 can take home one book per visit while engaging with other on-site learning materials such as laptops, 3D printers and courses on robotics and other STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) disciplines.
The newest delivery truck, equipped and donated by the Barbara Bush Houston Literacy Foundation with financial support from local companies and other charities, will enable the mobile library program to make an additional 12 stops per month.“It is a huge deal,” Melton said of adding a fourth cruiser.“There is a great need for literary services in Harris County.Even with the efforts we’re putting forth, it’s really like a drop in the sea.So the more vehicles we can have, the more impact we can have.”
Julie Finck, the president of the foundation behind, said the idea was to promote reading and STEM skills in communities where there are not libraries, even in schools.
Three out of ten Houston children failed to meet the minimum, end-of-third-grade reading standard in the most recent statewide STAAR test, according to Finck.She also said research shows that if children aren’t reading skilfully by the end of the third grade, they are four times as likely as their peers to end up dropping out of school.
语篇解读:本文是一篇新闻报道。哈里斯县增加了第四辆好奇心巡航车,用于扩展移动图书馆项目。
24.Why do kids get excited when they see a Curiosity Cruiser?( )
A.They can get a book free of charge.
B.They can buy frozen treats from the cruiser.
C.They can borrow some learning materials.
D.They can meet their favourite superheroes.

25.What does Melton mean in Paragraph 4?( )
A.What they are doing is far from enough.

26.What is the main goal of the Curiosity Cruisers program?( )
A.To raise funds for the poor.
B.To bridge the educational gap.
C.To better people’s living standards.
D.To build more libraries in Houston.

27.What is the point of improving the end-of-third-graders’ reading skills?( )
A.Children can improve their social skills.
B.It will develop children’s interest in reading.
C.It will help children prepare for their STEM.

解析:D 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句可知,如果孩子们在三年级结束时还不能熟练地阅读,那么他们最终辍学的可能性是同龄人的四倍。由此可推断出,提高三年级学生阅读能力的意义在于降低儿童辍学率。

(2024·江苏镇江六校高二下月考)You’ll need to take a deep breath before hearing this news.An astonishing 93% of kids around the world live in environments with air pollution levels that are damaging their health, according to a new report by World Health Organization (WHO).

Disease caused by dirty air is more common in low and middle-income countries, especially those in Africa, Southeast Asia, and Western Pacific.Poor countries in these areas have the highest levels of exposure to household air pollution due to the use of polluting fuels and technologies for basic needs like cooking, heating and lighting.

As an international body charged with the mission of keeping world peace and development, the United Nations cannot operate without financial support from its member countries.And as a firm defender of multilateralism (多边主义) and a beneficiary of globalization, China knows how important it is to safeguard the current world order in which the UN plays an important role.China is aware how important it is that it does its bit to ensure the UN can accomplish its missions, and knows that this is a responsibility it must undertake for the benefit of all.
And Chinese people can take pride in the fact that the country has overtaken Japan to be the second-largest contributor to the UN regular budget.Since how much a country pays to the regular budget of the United Nations is a standard on how powerful the country is, at least financially.It is therefore natural that China’s contribution to the UN budget should rise from 2.05 per cent in 2005 to 15.25 per cent in 2021.That hike is an indicator of what the country has achieved so far.With the country’s further development, there is no doubt that its financial contribution to the UN will continue to rise.China will pay as it should.
However, the more money a country pays, the more responsibility it shoulders and more say it is entitled to enjoy as a major player on the world stage.But the reality is that the rights and international standing China enjoys are still disproportional (不相称的) to what it does for the UN and its contribution to the development of the world economy.As a responsible member of the international community, China is struggling for reform of the UN and the global governance system so they are more effective and representative of the international community as a whole.
Although peace and development remain the themes of the times, uncertainty and instability are on the rise.With this in mind, all countries should make combined efforts to deepen understanding, increase trust and promote cooperation.China is committed to building a community with a shared future for humanity and will continue to work with the UN to realize that vision.
语篇解读:本文是一篇议论文。文章阐述了中国在维护联合国及当今世界秩序中所发挥的重要作用,并且中国将继续致力于构建人类命运共同体,与联合国一起为实现这一愿景而继续努力。
32.What can we learn from the first paragraph?( )
A.China is against multilateralism and globalization.
B.The UN needs financial help from its member countries.
C.China doesn’t agree with the UN on keeping the current world order.
D.The UN must undertake the responsibility to ensure China’s benefit.
解析:B 细节理解题。根据第一段内容可知,作为一个肩负着维护世界和平与发展使命的国际机构,如果没有各个成员国的财政支持,联合国无法运行。
33.What does the underlined word “hike” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?( )
A.Walk. B.Rise.
C.Budget. D.Contribution.
解析:B 词义猜测题。根据第二段中的It is therefore natural that China’s contribution to the UN budget should rise from 2.05 per cent in 2005 to 15.25 per cent in 2021.可知,中国对联合国预算的贡献率从2005年的2.05%上升到2021年的15.25%是自然的。所以第二段的hike一词与rise意思相近,表示“上升”。
34.What can we infer from Paragraph 3?( )
A.If a country pays more money, it can take on less responsibility.
B.China’s contribution to world economy equals the rights it enjoys.
C.China is making great efforts to improve the situation of the UN.
D.The global governance system is very satisfying now.
解析:C 推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句可知,作为国际社会中负责任的一个成员国,中国正在为联合国的改革和全球治理体系而奋斗,使之更具效力,更能代表整个国际社会。由此可以推出,中国正在努力改善联合国的状况。
35.What is the main idea of the text?( )
A.China is keeping world peace and development instead of the UN.
B.China contributes most to the UN regular budget.
C.China enjoys more say as a great power on the world stage.
D.China is working with the UN in search for common good.
解析:D 主旨大意题。通读全文尤其是最后两段可知,文章阐述了中国在维护联合国及当今世界秩序中所发挥的重要作用,并且中国将继续致力于构建人类命运共同体,与联合国一起为实现这一愿景而继续努力。所以本文的主旨是中国正与联合国合作,寻求共同的利益。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
This article is my personal reflection on the benefits I get from reading history books.36.( ) I also want to encourage others to do more of this enjoyable, rewarding activity!
Satisfy our curiosity.
37.( ) Given time travel is not an option, if we want to explore the past, one of the best ways is to read a history book.Finding out more about a time or place which you feel a connection to but have little knowledge of can be an exciting experience.
38.( )
Reading history books can help people develop a sense of their place in the world.This is often the case with national history, bringing people together through a shared experience.Identity is much more than just which country you live in, and reading about history which is relevant to your life can help you build a stronger sense of self and feel confident in who you are.
Appreciate how things change.
I think that reading history — changes in the past — can help you better understand changes that are happening now or what might contribute to change in the future.39.( ) When Julius Caesar was in his early 30s, he burst into tears on realising that while Alexander the Great had conquered the known world by 32, he himself had achieved nothing.So he dried his eyes, picked himself up, and went on to destroy the Roman Republic.
Develop our sense of truth.
Even in the best cases, history books are influenced by the circumstances of the author, and sometimes they can be highly biased (存在偏见的).40.( ) History books naturally encourage us to ask questions like:how might the perspective of the author influence his story?By reading a range of history books, we can become more critical readers who don’t just accept what we are told.
A.Develop a stronger sense of identity.
B.Understand the range of human experience.
C.Let’s turn to a famous example from history.
D.Exploration is an essential part of human nature.
E.One of my aims in writing it is to sort out my thoughts.
F.This is most obvious when we read two different versions of the same thing.
G.This can inspire us to think about better ways of organising our own society.

38.A 设空处为段落小标题。通读设空处下面一段可知,阅读历史书籍可以帮助人们了解自己在这个世界中的位置。本国历史通常能起到这样的作用,它通过相同的经历把人们联系在一起。身份认同不仅仅意味着你居住在哪个国家。阅读与自己有关的历史能帮你建立更强烈的自我意识,还能帮你对自己的身份充满信心。A项(建立更强的身份认同感)可概括本段内容,与该段中的build a stronger sense of self相呼应。A项中的identity与该段中的Identity构成原词复现。
39.C 设空处前一句指出,作者认为阅读历史可以帮你更好地理解正在发生的变化,也可能会帮你了解导致未来变化的因素;设空处下文讲述了凯撒大帝的历史故事。C项(让我们以一个著名的史实为例)引出下文,符合语境。
40.F 根据设空处前一句可知,即使是在最好的情况下,历史书也会受到作者所处环境的影响,有时这些书中可能还会存在巨大的偏见。F项(当我们阅读关于同一事件的两个不同版本时,这一点最为明显)紧承上文,符合语境。F项中的This指代设空处前的内容。

It was a dull, cold and cloudy Monday morning.I had planned to take a journey and visit my grandfather who lived in Tennessee.As I set out on my journey and boarded the bus whose final destination was Tennessee, joy was written all over my face.It had been quite a long time since I last visited the countryside.Though the road leading to Tennessee was rocky, the journey was interesting and fantastic.I enjoyed myself so much since I was able to take pictures of wild animals like giraffe and antelopes (羚羊) along the way.
After about five hours’ drive, we were finally at Tennessee.I carried my luggage and followed the other passengers.However, I realized that there were many people at the bus station who had come to meet their relatives.My grandfather had informed me that there was no need for anyone to come for me as I would easily find my way to his home.
I tried to talk to a few people to ask about the road leading to my grandfather’s home, but unfortunately, we couldn’t understand each other because of the language barrier.I had to make signs, pointing towards the direction where my grandfather lived to see if they could help me.However, the people I asked seemed not to understand me very well, and ended up giving me mixed directions.I felt so desperate because it was already getting late.What’s worse, the countryside had network problems, so I could not reach my grandfather over the phone.I had no option but to look for a suitable place of shelter for the night.I carefully walked through the bushes, along the road and found a tree that had a lot of thick bushes around it.I felt that this was a nice place for me to hide for the night before daybreak.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
Luckily enough, before I could close my eyes, I heard the sound of a vehicle in the distance.
The couple told me that day they were on their way back home from their son’s wedding.
参考范文:
Luckily enough, before I could close my eyes,I heard the sound of a vehicle in the distance.I quickly ran out of the bushes, shouting and waving at the car to slow down.What a relief it was to me when the driver politely responded to my call and slowed down at the place where I was standing.The vehicle had two people inside who were very old, a man and a woman almost the same age as my grandfather.They introduced themselves and I did the same.
The couple told me that day they were on their way back home from their son’s wedding.I told them my dilemma, giving every inch of the misfortune that I had undergone so that they could help me out.The couple were moved by my story, and they couldn’t hesitate to offer help.The following day, they drove me up to my grandfather’s home which was only a few kilometers away, and I was so happy to reunite with my grandfather.My grandfather thanked my rescuers warmly for helping me out of the bushes.

In 1938, the Japanese army offered a large sum of money for Yang’s head and a large number of troops surrounded his men.In early 1940, facing a critical lack of supplies, Yang decided to let his men break through in small groups, but his own section of 60 men was betrayed to the Japanese.After these men were killed, Yang fought on alone for five days.He was eventually tracked down on 23 February by a large unit of Japanese troops.He killed more than 20 Japanese soldiers before dying in a hail of machine gunfire.When the Japanese cut open his body, they discovered only tree bark, cotton and grass roots, but not a single grain of rice in his stomach.
Yang’s death was a huge blow to his loyal troops, but they turned sorrow into anger and continued to fight fiercely against the invaders.After the People’s Republic of China (PRC) was established, Yang was reburied with full military honours, in Tonghua, Jilin Province.In 2005, a memorial hall was built in memory of the martyrs represented by Yang, drawing thousands of visitors every year to learn about the spirit of the resistance against Japanese aggression.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Sharon Estill Taylor has no first-hand memories of her father. The World War Ⅱ fighter pilot was shot down over Germany in April 1945, when Taylor was just three weeks old.When Taylor was young, her grandmother often shared stories about their fallen hero. “Nana, it’s OK,” Taylor assured her. “I’m going to find him and bring him home.”
Grandmother gave Taylor a silver box containing some 450 handwritten letters between her parents, spanning from their high school to the year 1945. Also included were six months’ worth of unopened letters. Taylor learned that on 13 April 1945, Estill had taken off to attack a railway station and destroy Nazi supply lines. She found a reference to a possible crash site near the town of Elsnig in eastern Germany.
With the collapse of the Berlin Wall, it became possible for Taylor to visit the potential crash site. She connected with German military historian Hans-Guenther Ploes, who agreed to help her try to find and identify any aircraft and human remains. In 2005, a team, accompanied by Ploes and Taylor, led a three-week dig. From the moment she set foot on the site, Taylor could feel that her dad was there. DNA analysis confirmed that the remains were his. On a sunny day, Taylor and her family buried her father’s remains at Arlington National Cemetery. Beyond fulfilling her promise to her grandmother, Taylor says her mission has been to get closer to her father and his legacy.
She has also come to realize that there are many Americans who’ve lost parents and loved ones in military conflicts overseas and wishes they knew more. Taylor shares her story widely, raising awareness of soldiers who never return from war and the significance of recovery efforts. An estimated 81,000 American service members’ bodies remain unaccounted for from past conflicts, but fortunately there are constant efforts to locate the fallen and bring relief to their families.
Taylor will never know exactly what her father’s final moments were like but she feels, in a way, that her father has finally come home.
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Sharon Estill Taylor的父亲在二战中牺牲,随着柏林墙的倒塌,Taylor最终找回父亲的遗骸的故事。
1.What can we infer from the first two paragraphs?( )
A.Taylor’s father delivered supplies in the war.
B.Taylor got along well with her father as a kid.
C.Taylor’s parents used to write letters to each other.
D.The exact crash site where Taylor’s father died was recorded.
解析:C 推理判断题。根据第二段第一句可知,祖母给了Taylor一个银盒子,里面装着父母从高中到1945年的大约450封手写信件。由此可推知,Taylor的父母过去经常给对方写信。
2.What probably discouraged Taylor from seeking her father at first?( )
A.No one was willing to assist her.
B.Germany wasn’t reunited at that time.
C.There weren’t any clues about the battle.

3.Why does Taylor want others to know her story?( )
A.To help make her grandmother’s wish come true.
B.To let the readers know more about World War Ⅱ.
C.To pay her respects to fallen heroes like her father.
D.To show the possibility of regaining heroes’ remains.
解析:D 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段内容可知,Taylor广泛地分享了她的故事,提高了人们对那些永远不会从战争中回来的士兵以及找回士兵遗骸工作的重要性的认识。据估计,仍有81,000名在过去战争中死亡的美国军人的遗体下落不明,但幸运的是,人们一直在努力寻找阵亡军人,并为他们的家人带来安慰。由此可推知,Taylor想让别人知道她的故事是因为她想证明找回英雄遗骸的可能性。
4.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?( )
A.Cherish Parents’ Love
B.Let Heroes Return Home
C.Never Forget the History
D.Meet Grandmother’s Wish
解析:B 标题归纳题。通读全文可知,文章主要讲述了Taylor的父亲在二战中牺牲,随着柏林墙的倒塌,Taylor最终找回父亲的遗骸的故事。因此B项(让英雄回家)最适合作文章标题。
B
More and more, while we are in schools and doing mediation (调解) with students, we find out that the conflict is more widespread than just them.It may involve other siblings (兄弟姐妹) and sometimes parents, guardians, aunts and uncles.This means that while we can do a lot of work with the students themselves, the root of the conflict we are trying to address is much deeper and needs to include more people in the conversations.
A few weeks ago, two of CCR’s (Center for Conflict Resolution’s) restorative justice coordinators (协调者) had a case that involved four students and their five guardians.During the beginning parts of the mediation, some of the adults in the room started to become heated and defensive of their child.A confrontation (对抗) occurred between a grandmother and one of the moms.CCR mediators separated the two parties and allowed them each to calm down.Then, CCR staff invited everyone in the room to pause and refocus on the task at hand.As a group, they reviewed the guidelines and actually added some that addressed why the adults were feeling so defensive.
Then, something incredible happened: The grandmother and the mom who were upset with each other earlier apologized to each other.They each said they had no issue with each other after hearing the other’s perspective.They hugged and agreed to communicate in a more positive way.
After the students witnessed this, they asked to have some space.They left the room together and as the adults watched from the window, they hugged each other and apologized.Once they came back into the room, the students made a plan for how to communicate in the future using the example of their guardians.At the end of the mediation, a student said, “It was easier to apologize when I saw it done.”
The power of role models is far beyond what we know.By modeling how to be angry effectively, we can change how our youth respond when they are angry too.
语篇解读:本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。成年人应该以身作则,通过自己的行动向年轻人示范正确的冲突解决方式。
5.What is needed to deal with conflicts in schools according to the author?( )

B.Broader conversations.

6.How did the grandmother and the mom feel at the beginning of the mediation?( )
A.Surprised. B.Doubtful.
C.Regretful. D.Annoyed.
解析:D 推理判断题。根据第二段中的During the beginning parts of the mediation, some of the adults in the room started to become heated and defensive ...a grandmother and one of the moms.可知,在调解初期,房间里的一些成年人情绪激动,都在为自己的孩子辩解。一场冲突在一位祖母和一位妈妈之间发生了。由此可推知,那位祖母和那位妈妈当时都很生气。
7.What did the students do after leaving the room?( )
A.They made a secret plan.
B.They said sorry to each other.
C.They cleared a space for play.
D.They communicated with their guardians.
解析:B 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的They left the room together and as the adults watched from the window, they hugged each other and apologized.可知,孩子们走出房间后,模仿着大人们的样子,相拥在一起并向彼此道歉。
8.What would be the best title for this text?( )
A.The Nature of Conflicts
B.The Power of Role Models
C.The Correct Ways to Apologize
D.The Challenges of Family Relationships

语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了加拿大医师亨利·诺尔曼·白求恩对医学和中国的贡献和帮助,以及中国对他的怀念和赞扬。
24.determination 考查名词。根据介词with和不定冠词a可知,空处应用单数名词作宾语。
25.graduating/graduation 考查非谓语动词或名词。介词after后应用动词-ing形式或名词作宾语。
26.more 考查形容词的比较级。根据上文He reinvented or redesigned over 10 medical instruments可知,重新发明或设计的10多种医疗器械应该是更好用,应用形容词的比较级作宾语补足语。
27.Despite 考查介词。由(assist) the Chinese people和the difficult situation可知,前后构成让步关系,且空后是名词短语,所以此处应用介词despite表示“尽管”,首字母应大写。
28.to assist 考查非谓语动词。根据句意可知,此处应用动词不定式作目的状语。
29.taught 考查动词的时态。teach和helped,showed (一般过去时)是并列谓语动词,所以空处也应用一般过去时。
30.a 考查冠词。此处泛指“一个独特的人物”,unique的发音以辅音音素开头,所以用不定冠词a。
31.are used 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。结合时间状语now可知,时态应用一般现在时,又因主语Some of the surgical tools和谓语动词use是被动关系,所以用一般现在时的被动语态;主语Some of the surgical tools是复数形式,因此谓语应用复数形式。
32.Sadly 考查副词。修饰后面的整个句子,应用副词,位于句首,首字母应大写。
33.which 考查定语从句。此处是“介词+关系代词”引导的非限制性定语从句,先行词是an article,指物,在从句中作介词in的宾语,应用关系代词which。
Ⅳ.读后续写
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。
(2024·浙江湖州高二上期末)Charlie was very obedient to his parents and teachers, for which everyone loved him a lot. Due to his father’s job, his family moved to a new city, where he entered a new school. As Charlie was a good boy, soon most of his new classmates became his good friends. The teachers also praised this new boy, because of his intelligence and nice behavior to all.
But there was one boy in the class who did not like Charlie at all! His name was Bill and he was a very naughty boy, for which no one liked him at all. He found that Charlie was a quiet boy. So he started creating troubles for his new classmate. At the lunchtime, when Charlie was having lunch, Bill came up to him and asked, “Hey, what do you have for lunch?” “It’s cake and sweets,” Charlie replied with a smile.
“I love sweets and so I will eat this food today,” Bill said grudgingly. He snatched the lunch box from Charlie. The other boys sitting around were furious, but no one dared to protest due to fears of being bullied by Bill and his little gang.
From that day on, Bill regularly ate Charlie’s lunch and even threw away the water from his water bottle one day. But Charlie still kept quiet and did not complain to the teacher. Bill never did his homework and always forced the good boys of the class, including Charlie, to write it down on his copy for him! When Charlie’s parents learned about all these bullies of Bill, they wanted to come to the school and complain about this naughty boy. But Charlie stopped them and said, “Mom, Dad, please do not worry. Everything will be all right. After all, Bill is also a kid like me.”
The days went by and the time came for the annual sports at the school. Charlie was also good at sports and he participated in a number of events. Bill also participated in sack race (套袋赛跑), though he could not run very fast due to his fat body.

2.请按如下格式作答。
Seeing Charlie won first prize in 100 meters, Bill felt very bad and then made a decision.

参考范文:
Seeing Charlie won first prize in 100 meters, Bill felt very bad and then made a decision. Soon it was the time for the sack race. Bill showed up on the track early, thinking he would spare no effort in this game to beat Charlie. When the race began, Bill glanced at Charlie next to him and said,“I will beat you definitely.” Then Bill jumped forward with all his strength at his first attempt. Slowly Charlie was left behind, but suddenly Bill tripped and fell onto the ground.When Charlie came to him, he found Bill’s ankle was bleeding and he couldn’t get up.
Charlie then took Bill to the school doctor who tended his injured leg. Charlie didn’t go back and gave up the race at last. Looking at Charlie, Bill lowered his head full of shame. After a while, he opened his mouth and said sincerely,“I’m sorry. I know I was wrong and beg for your forgiveness.” Charlie responded immediately with a smile,“From today on we will be friends forever.” So since that day Bill has changed completely.
