B Having met only weeks before, climbers Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay shook hands before hugging each other in a moment that would put their names in history books forever. They were on top of the world-literally. After five hours of continuous climbing the two first climbed to the top of Mount Everest, the highest spot on Earth. As the ultimate climbing goal for them both and the dream of most climbers, they had just 15 minutes to absorb the experience of being at 8,848 metres above sea level. Any longer and they may not have made it back to camp to tell the tale. With this in mind, the pair spent some of their precious minutes searching the area for signs of those who had been before them. The bodies of two previous Everest hopefuls---Andrew Irvine and George Mallory of the 1924 attempt---were in the thoughts of Norgay and Hillary. However, they could find no sign of them having reached the top. Everest has been responsible for claiming over 300 lives and endangering many others, as it poses huge and unpredictable challenges, with high altitudes（海拔）putting immense tension on human biology and with its icy land making each step a risk. When the climbers made it back to camp and the news spread, global admiration and fame poured in. Norgay and Hillary were determined to be the first to conquer the world’s highest mountain. They had done it. At the time they believed that the box had been ticked and no one else would put themselves through the danger to repeat their achievement. They couldn’t have been more wrong. Today hundreds of people choose to follow in their footsteps every year. In contrast to the total isolation（孤立）felt on the first successful journey, during times of ideal weather conditions, queues form up to the mountain’s summit. This creates dangerous standstills （ 停 滞 ） in the mountain’s most deadly zones. Whether you believe these adventurers to be brave, admirable or out of their minds, it is clear that Hillary and Norgay have provided knowledge and inspiration for many to find out how it feels to truly be on top of the world. 24. What did Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay do on the top of the world? A. They measured the height of Mount Everest. B. They celebrated their victory with many climbers. C. They tried to find signs of earlier climbers. D. They shared the experience as long as 15 minutes. 25. What can be inferred about Andrew Irvine and George Mallory from the passage? A. They succeeded in reaching the top of Mount Everest first. B. They lost their lives in their attempt to conquer Mount Everest. C. They were good friends of Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay. D. They died because they didn’t return to their camp in time. 26. What does the underlined word “immense” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Huge. B. Outside. C. Minimum. D. Limited. 27. What will the present Everest climbers be likely to face compared with Norgay and Hillary? A. More terrible loneliness. B. More ideal weather conditions. C. More deadly zones. D. More dangerous stops. C Veronica Vorobet learned about caring in her home country of Romania by nursing her grandparents. In 2013, after their deaths，she moved to England to find a job using the freedom provided by EU（European Union）membership. Vorobet, 36, is one of a quarter of a million care workers who are not UK citizens, a rising percentage of whom have come from the EU in recent years. They have become an essential part of a low-paid workforce that is constantly understaffed（人手不足的）, with about 120,000 unoccupied positions. Yesterday, she expressed disappointment with the announcement that there would be no special treatment for carers coming into the UK after Brexit—British exit from the EU. “I want to see people treated the way I want to be treated and to make a difference in people’s lives, making a feeling of home for everyone,” she told the Guardian. “The foreign workers are important in this. They are able to work under a lot of stress and long hours. In my country we are very close to our elderly people and that is what we show here. We try to be close to them and respect their wishes.” She said her approach was to treat residents as if they were her own grandparents and provide similar levels of “support and love.” When she arrived in the UK, Vorobet started as a junior care worker on minimum wage in a home for older people in Petersfield, Hampshire. Seven years on and having studied for an NVQ in health and social care, she is a deputy（副的）care manager at St Anthony’s residential care home in Watford, part of RMD Care. There she works alongside other Romanian people, and care workers from Indian, Sri Lanka and Kenya. Her most recent trial has been keeping coronavirus（冠状病毒）out of the home, so far successfully. She said that given the difficulty of taking on care workers, European workers have helped create stability in the workforce. Staff turnover rates in adult social care currently stand at about 30% a year. “The government should do their research and find out who does these jobs and understand the risk of taking this decision. The risk is that there won't be enough staff to look after the people in need,” she said. 28.Why does the author mention “with about 120,000 unoccupied positions” in Paragraph 2？ A. To predict the future workforce in the UK. B. To highlight the current situation of the UK. C. To show the importance of foreign carers in the UK. D. To reveal foreign carers’ determination to stay in the UK. 29.What does Vorobet think of foreign carers in the UK？ A. They are hardworking and considerate. B. They are unwilling to work with a low pay. C. They work at the risk of being physically abused. D. They have to leave their countries to seek a fortune. 30.The underlined part “this decision” in the last paragraph refers to the decision that _______. A. European workers must be fired soon B. foreign carers will be treated with a low pay C. foreign carers in the UK will be given no particular treatment D. the British government bans European workers from finding jobs in England 31.What’s the main purpose of this passage？ A. To introduce Vorobet, a woman from UK. B. To present the current situation of the EU carers. C. To reveal the problems of the UK after Brexit. D. To predict the future workforce in the UK. D In 2015, researchers from Australia’s Deakin University published one of the first studies measuring food’s physical effect on the left hippocampus（海马体）, a seahorse-shaped brain region crucial for memory, learning, and decision making. It is also one of the first areas to shrink in people with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia（痴呆）. 255 people filled out diet surveys and then underwent MRI (磁共振扫描成像) that measured their brains. Four years later, they returned for another scan in response to a request from the researchers. The study found that the left hippocampus was bigger and heavier in the healthy eaters than in the unhealthy ones, regardless of age, sex, weight, exercise habits, or general health. That means eating the right foods and skipping the wrong stuff could help protect against declines in thinking and memory that lead to dementia. Healthy eating doesn’t just prevent brain decline. It raises scores on thinking and memory tests, according to a study published in March 2019 that tracked 2,621 American women and men for 30 years. “Green leafy vegetables have good effects that may protect both females and males against cognitive（认知的）decline and dementia,” says lead researcher Claire McEvoy, RD, of the Centre for Public Health at Queen’s University Belfast in Northern Ireland. Even a little healthy food goes a long way. According to a 2018 Rush University study that tracked 960 people for 4.7 years, participants who ate just 1.3 extra servings of green leafy vegetables a day showed cognitive abilities similar to those of people 11 years younger. How are these power foods working with your brain cells? Animal and test-tube experiments suggest that compounds in healthy diets help new cells make copies of DNA when they divide and multiply. Meanwhile, high-fat, high-sugar processed foods harm brain cells. While food serves as an important brain protector, experts say brain supplements（补品） aren’t all that effective. Studies show that they don't make brain cells active in a significantly positive way. “Let the buyer be cautious,” says David Hogan, MD, a specialist at the University of Calgary. A study of nootropics（益智药）in the November 2019 Journal of the American Medical Association revealed that the unapproved drug—piracetam（乙酰胺吡略烷酮）was found in four out of five brands tested, at levels that could cause side effects such as depression. 32. Why did the researchers have the 255 people return for another MRI scan four years later? A. To test whether they had Alzheimer’s disease. B. To see what effects diets had on the left hippocampus. C. To study how they kept healthy in the four years. D. To deepen their research into Alzheimer’s disease. 33. What can we infer from Paragraph 2? A. Healthy eating helps to reduce the risk of dementia. B. Unhealthy diet is a major contributing factor in cognitive decline. C. Age and sex have nothing to do with our general health. D. Plant-based diets have greater effects on women than men. 34. Which of the following would David Hogan most probably agree with? A. Brain supplements are as helpful as healthy diets. B. We’d better take brain supplements for convenience. C. We should be careful when taking brain supplements. D. Brain supplements have as many side effects as processed foods. 35. What might be the best title for the passage? A. Yes to Green Leafy Vegetables B. Yes to Nootropics C. No to Intelligence D. No to Dementia 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。 Have you ever had someone tell you “If you eat before bed, you are more likely to get fat?” 36 This belief originated when researchers found the relation between individuals snacking late at night and having a BMI that categorizes them as obese（肥胖的）. Is eating late at night, especially after 8 pm, really going to make you gain weight? One theory is that your metabolism（新陈代谢）slows down when you are asleep. 37 Thus the calories you eat right before bed would not be burned off as much as they would be while you’re awake. Although the science seems pretty sound，recent studies have shown that metabolism changes very little, if at all, while you are asleep. 38 The heart is still beating, lungs are still working, and the brain is still very active. All of these actions take energy, meaning while we are asleep, we are still burning calories. 39 As we know, one physiological effect of insulin（胰岛素）is storing fat. Food being consumed late at night will more likely be stored away due to the higher levels of insulin present in the blood system. However, insulin levels at night are shown to be no different than insulin levels during mid-day. If it is true that eating with high insulin levels causes you to gain weight, anyone eating anytime after the morning will become fat. So how come individuals have higher BMIs when they snack at night? It is simply a result of eating too many calories. Snacks that individuals tend to eat during the night are usually high in sugar and calories, such as ice cream, candy, potato chips and soft drinks. Put simply, if you eat more calories than you burn, regardless of the time of the day, you will gain weight. 40 A. With a slow metabolism, few calories are being burned. B. While asleep, your body still functions in many ways. C. All living matter undergoes a process of metabolism. D. The time these snacks are consumed does not matter. E. Without ever questioning it, people quickly assume this to be true. F. Besides, insulin levels are dramatically lower in the morning than at night. G. Another theory is that late night snacking leads to rising insulin levels. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分 30 分） 第一节（共 15 小题，每小题 1 分，满分 15 分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 The town of Paradise has suffered a fire, which lasted 17 days and caused a loss of $16.5 billion. As a result, the beautifully named place 41 its beauty. Shane Grammer, Creative Director for Disney’s theme parks in Los Angeles, paid close attention to the news of the fire’s deadly path. In fact, he felt quite 42 to help when seeing the picture shared by his friend, in which only a white chimney of his house 43 after the fire. “I’ve got to 44 that chimney,” he said. “I’m not trying to say anything. It’s just that I’m an artist. And it was a(n) 45 for me to express myself and be an artist, wasn’t it?” Grammer spent three hours spray-painting the image of a woman on the chimney in black and white, which was 46 mysterious.

On seeing it, the victims of the fire could not 48 themselves. “Beautiful and impressive,” one of them remarked. And another said, “You bring beauty and 49 .” At this time, Grammer became aware that something 50 had been transformed by a purely artistic expression. “When the first mural（壁画）moved so many people, I knew I had to 51 ,” he told the journalist. Grammer returned to Paradise eight times in three months, 52 which he completed 17 murals of victims and other figures. Today, Grammer’s efforts have 53 into a movement. He has also painted murals in dark places around the world that seriously need some light. Ironically, the first painting, on the chimney in Paradise, existed for just several months, 54 the bulldozer（推土机）was a merciless art critic. But Grammer couldn’t be more pleased about it, which means the spirit of Paradise is 55 again. 41. A. destroyed B. created C. witnessed D. lost 42. A. powerless B. enthusiastic C. urgent D. reluctant 43. A. left B. remained C. disappeared D. collapsed 44. A. mend B. rebuild C. paint D. preserve 45. A. risk B. opportunity C. job D. duty 46.

That might be necessary in some 57 （industry）during these challenging times, 58 certainly not in every industry and not for everyone in any industry. However, once this takes root in your company culture, it becomes difficult, if not impossible. 59 （change）later. And “always-on” is not sustainable（可持续的）. It increases pressure and 60 （quick）turns your company 61 an unpleasant place to work. It might even cause the most dedicated 62 （employ）to consider other offers. So how can you accommodate your workers’ needs while still 63 （protect）your culture and your team’s work-life balance? The key is to define clear “communication hours”（for example, 8 a.m.to 6 p.m.）while encouraging flexibility（灵活性）. Outside of those hours, everyone should be encouraged to change their settings to “Do Not Disturb” and to use the “schedule send” feature of their email client so that messages 64 （ deliver ） only during communication hours.

They took care of and loved each other very much, and their country was happy, too. Therefore they didn't envy anything else. There was one thing they worried about. They wanted to make sure they could live happily forever like this. One day, one of the officials found out the couple’s worry and told them, “Prince, I heard that there is a magic charm（吉祥饰物）, and it can protect you from any unfortunate event. If you always carry the magic charm with you, your fear and worry will disappear.” “Is it true? Where can I find hat charm?” The prince asked him joyfully. “There is an old man in the forest, and he knows about everything. You can ask him.” The couple visited the old man, and asked for help with their worries and fears. The old man nodded his head as if he knew everything and said, “Travel all around the world. Then, when you meet a very happy couple, ask them to cut a piece of their underwear. If you keep the piece of the underwear, your fear and worry will go away.” The couple appreciated the old man’s kindness and set out on the journey. The couple wandered around everywhere and heard about a happy knight (骑士) and his wife in a town. They went to visit the knight. “Are you really happy like the rumour?” Then the knight answered. “Of course, we are, Prince. But our only worry and problem is that we didn’t have any children. They could not get a magic charm this time too, and kept going on their trip. It was very hard to find the happiest couple in the world. They had to find an absolutely happy couple, so they continued their journey. They visited a happy couple who were famous or their happiness in the next town. And they asked the couple if they were really happy. The couple answered. “Yes, we are very happy. But we have too many children. A mother with a large family of children never has a peaceful day. We worry too much about our children.” One day, the prince couple met a shepherd（牧羊人）and his wife in a big field.___________ Feeling disappointed and tired out, the prince couple decided to go back._______ 注意：请将书面表达撰写在答题卡上。 无锡市普诵高中 2020 年秋学期高三期中调研考试参考答案及评分标准 英 语 第一部分:听力（共两节,满分 30 分) 1-5 CBACA6-10 ABBBC11-15 AACBB16-20 ACCBA 第二部分:阅读理解（共两节，满分 50 分) 第一节（共 15 小题;每小题 2.5 分,满分 37.5 分) 21-35 DCC CBAD CACB BACA 第二节（共 5 小题:每小题 2.5 分,满分 12.5 分) 36-40 EABGD 第三部分语言运用（共两节, 满分 30 分) 第一节（共 15 小题,每小题 1 分,满分 15 分) 41-45 DABCB 46-50 ADBAD 51-55 BDCAB 第二节 (共 15 小题;每小题 1.5 分,满分 15 分) 56.which 57. industries 58.but 59. to change 60.quickly 61.into/to 62.employee(s) 63.protecting 64.are delivered 65.make 第四部分:写作(共两节,满分 40 分） 第一节:应用文写作（满分 15 分) Dear Jack, Knowing that you won the first prize in the Chinese Bridge Competition, I feel very delighted.

Do you have time for any hobbies? M: Not much. I go swimming whenever I can---that was my first love before skating. I’d love to go horse riding or play tennis, but I can’t fit everything in.

My name is Tony Walters and I’m your guide for today. I’d like to remind you that any ticket bought today do not include a visit to the reading rooms. I’m afraid we don’t do visits on Fridays---or any weekday during working hours. But if you do want to see those rooms, come here on Sundays. So, I don’t want anyone to be disappointed about that today. OK? Thank you. Right. We’ll start with a brief introduction. As many of you know, this is the United Kingdom’s National Library and you can see this is a splendid modern building. It was first designed by Sir Colin St. John Wilson in 1977, and opened by he Queen eleven years later. As you can see, the basement alone has 300 kilometres of shelving---and that’s enough to hold about 12 million books. The total floor space there is 100,000 square metres and it has a thousand staff members based here in the building. It houses one of the most important collections in the world. The different piece comes from every continent and has a history of almost 3,000 years. The library isn’t a public library although its money is from the government. You can’t just come in and borrow any of the books. Access to the collections is limited to those involved in carrying out research. And anyone who wants to use any material can formally apply to use the library reading rooms. （停顿 00’02” 重复） （停顿 00’20” 叮咚铃声） 第二节到此结束。现在你有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 （停顿 02’00”） （叮咚铃声）听力测试到此结束。 书面表达得分要点和评分参考标准 一、应用文写作评分标准 （一）内容要点 1.表示祝贺（3 分）； 2.肯定努力（6 分）： 3.赠送名著（4 分）： 4.词数和书面整洁（2 分）。 （二）评分原则 1.本题总分为 15 分，按 5 个档次给分。 2.评分时，先根据文章的内容和语言初步确定其所属档次，然后以该档次的要求来衡量， 确定或调整档次，最后给分。 3.词数少于 60 和多余 100 的，从总分中减去 2 分。 4.评分时，应注意的主要内容为：内容要点、应用词汇和语法结构的丰富性和准确性及 上下文的连贯性。 5.拼写与标点符号是语言准确性的一个方面，评分时，应视其对交际的影响程度予以考 虑。英、美拼写及词汇用法均可接受。 6.如书写较差，以致影响交际，将分数降低一个档次。 （三）各档次的给分范围和要求 第五档（13~15 分） 1、完全完成了试题规定的任务。 2、覆盖所有内容要点。 3、应用了较多的语法结构和词汇。 4、语法结构或词汇方面有些许错误，但为尽力使用较复杂结构或较高级词汇所致；具 备较强的语言运用能力。 5、有效地使用了语句间的连接成分，使全文结构紧凑。 6、完全达到了预期的写作目的。 第四档（10~12 分） 1、完全完成了试题规定的任务。 2、虽漏掉 1、2 个次重点，但覆盖所有主要内容。 3、应用的语法结构和词汇能满足任务的要求。 4、语法结构或词汇方面应用基本准确，些许错误主要是因尝试较复杂语法结构或词汇 所致。 2021 届无锡市高三上期中考试解析 答案汇总：1-5 CBACA6-10 ABBBC11-15 AACBB 16-20 ACCBA 阅读 21-23 DCC 24-27 CBAD 28-31 CACB 32-35 BACA 7 选 5 阅读 36-40 EABGD 完形填空 41-45 DABCB 46-50 ADBAD 51-55 BDCAB 语法填空 56. which 57. industries 58. but 59. to change 60. quickly 61. into/to 62. employee(s) 63. protecting 64. are delivered 65. make A 篇是一则文字编辑的招聘启事。文章较易，定位清晰。 B 篇讲述了 Edmund 和 Tenzing 两人成为登顶珠穆朗玛峰第一人的经历。文章定位清 晰，题目较易。 C 篇讲述了医护人员 Vorobet 的在英国的经历，并且讲述了自己在英国脱欧以后作为 外国人的失望，本文应重点关注 Vorobet 对于英国脱欧的态度。 D 篇讲述了通过实验证实，人吃的东西是可影响海马体的健康程度的，作者就这一观 点展开叙述，文章有比较多的专有名词，容易对理解文章产生障碍。 龚露老师详细解析： A 篇 第 21 题 D 由第一段第二句可知，理想候选人要有工作经验，在快节奏的新闻环境 中工作准确仔细。所以 CGTN Digital 在选择文字编辑时看重经验和能力。故选 D。 第 22 题 C 第一段最后一句 “spot spelling, punctuation, grammar and syntax mistakes consistently”说明候选人需要有识别文本错误的能力，故选 C 第 23 题 C 最后一段是申请工作所需要的信息：一份简历和详细的求职信，目前和期 望的薪水，相关的工作样本。故选 C。 B 篇 第 24 题 C 根据第二段，他们在山顶上尝试着去找之前的登山者 A 和 G 的尸体，但 是却没有找到，D 选项错在他们没有体验 15 分钟之久。 第 25 题 B 由第二段第二句可知，Edmund 和 Tenzing 在攀爬路上发现了 Andrew 和 George 的尸体，说明他们在爬珠穆朗玛峰的路中遇难，故选 B。 第 26 题 A 由划线词所在句可知，珠穆朗玛峰提出了巨大的、不可预测的挑战，说 明高海拔对人体生理压力极大，故选 A。 第 27 题 D 由第四段最后两句可知，排队向山顶的队伍因为需要排队，所以，造成 了在山中致命地带的危险的停顿，故选 D。 C 篇 第 28 题 C 定位到第二段，讲述了 12000 个职位由于人口不足而空缺，这时 Vorobet 成为了很重要的一部分，因此强调的是外国看护人员的重要性，本题答案选择 C。 第 29 题 A 本题考察 Vorobet 对于他们看护人员的想法，定位到第五段第一句，可以 看到她们这些看护是把老人当作自己的祖父祖母看待的 She said her approach was to treat residents as if they were her own grandparents and provide similar levels of ‘support and love’. 因此本题答案为 A. 第 30 题 C 本题为推断题，这个句子的主语为‘the government’因此只有可能是政府可 以做出的决定，而之前提到的就是英国脱欧。因此定位到第三段，脱欧之后 ‘there would be no special treatment for carers’, 因此答案选择 C。 第 31 题 B 本题考察文章主旨，通篇都是在讲述 Vorobet 一个外国人作为看护在脱欧 之后的感想和叙述，与 B 项最为符合。 D 篇 第 32 题 B 题目中涉及到了 255 个实验对象，因此可以定位到第一段最后两句，最后 一句说到‘four years later, they returned for another scan in response to a request for the researchers’她们回来是为了再做一次扫描来给实验提供数据，因此答案选择 B。 第 33 题 A 通读第二段的中心句(本段第一句)，我们可以知道吃健康的食物是可以对 海马体有积极的影响的。结下来的句子都围绕这个中心句展开。B,C,D 第二段中都没 有提到，属于无中生有。因此答案选择 A。 第 34 题 C 定位到最后一段，可以看到 David Hogan 这个人，主要是对脑部补品进行 评价。‘Let the buyers be cautious’ 是他对补品的评价，因为他发现有些要是可以导致 像抑郁症这样的副作用的。因此本题答案为 C。 第 35 题 A 本题考察文章题目的选择，本文都在讲健康的饮食对海马体的积极影响， 四个选项当中只有 A 是符合健康饮食的，B 中的益智药是作者不提倡的，CD 文章中 也没有重点提到，因此不能为标题。本题答案为 A。 7 选 5 阅读答案： 36-40 EABGD 本文分析了吃零食太多会不会导致人变胖这个观点的真实性，得出的结论是无论你什 么时候吃，只要你的摄入超出你的消耗能力，你就会增肥。 详细解析： 第 36 题 E 此句为设问句，在 7 选 5 阅读中，设问句通常会自问自答，即很多人相 信在深夜吃东西会增肥。 第 37 题 A 根据前句的关键词 your metabolism slows down 我们可知，能量消耗就少， 这个属于因果链中的结果。 第 38 题 B 根据后句的关键词，still beating, still working, still very active, 可知，我 们需要一个主旨句，即 your body still functions in many ways. 第 39 题 G 此句属于段与段之间的并列关系，即与第一段的 one theory ,这里属于 another theory. 再根据后半句的 insulin is storing fat 可知，此处在讲脂肪的储存问题， 应该选 G。 第 40 题 D 这句话应该是一个结论句式，即你摄入食物的时间与你增不增肥没有必 然的关系。 03 完形填空答案： 41-45 DABCB 46-50 ADBAD 51-55 BDCAB 这篇完型主要讲了一场火灾后人们的精神重建，一场火灾摧毁了城镇，但画家通过绘 画使火灾的受害者感受到希望的故事。文章本身理解起来较容易，所考察的词汇也较 为简单，主要考察学生词义辨析和固定搭配，属于较简单的完型，可能的难题是 46,51。 详细解析： 第 41 题 根据前面说经历了一场大火，并且主语是 place 可知，这里是它失去了它的 美丽，选 lost。 第 42 题 根据前文他很关注，并且后面图片展示的是很惨烈的景象可知，这里是他 很想去帮忙，但觉无力是 urgent。如果选 B，说明 S 这个人乐于帮助。 第 43 题 根据这里是经历了大火，并且主语是 chimney 可知，这里是只有烟囱存留了 下来，选 remained。 第 44 题 根据 Grammer 是一个艺术家以及下一段花了三小时在烟囱上画画可知，这 里是想要在烟囱上画画，paint。 第 45 题 B 第 46 题 strikingly beautiful 为固定搭配，表示超级好看。 第 47 题 act as a reminder 为固定搭配。 第 48 题 根据前面用的是“一看到它”以及其说的话可知，这里是火灾的受害者情难自 禁，因此选 contain，can't contain oneself 表示控制不住自己的情感。 第 49 题 这里是和 beauty 并列，并且根据前面都是褒奖，且是火灾的情境可知，这 里是他带来了美和希望，并且与倒数第二段的 light 照应。 第 50 题 根据前面受害者受到了鼓舞以及后面 Grammer 自己说的话可知，这里是单 纯的艺术表达改变了更加深层次的东西，填 deeper，即改变了人们的精神。 第 51 题 根据画感动了很多人，而且后面 Grammer 又去花了很多壁画（mural）可知， 这里是他回去接着画了，选 come back。A 是退回，B 是回归，C 是带回，D 是阻止， 只有 B 符合。 第 52 题 这里 which 指代 three months，因此选 during，在三个月期间他又画了很多 壁画。 第 53 题 根据后面是 movement 运动，并且后来他去世界各地画画，带来光明可知， 这里是变成了一场运动，develop into。 第 54 题 分析句意可知，前半句是结果，后半句是原因，所以选 since，因为推土机， 烟囱上的壁画也没有保存很久。 第 55 题 烟囱的壁画代表着乐园精神的崛起，因此选 rising。 04 语法填空答案： 56. which 57. industries 58. but 59. to change 60. quickly 61. into/to 62. employee(s ) 63. protecting 64. are delivered 65. make 这篇文章讲了如何使你的雇员们保持工作与生活之间的平衡，对于孩子们分析句式的 能力要求比较高，比如第 65 题。 详细解析:（因为语法填空比较简单，在此只附上难题的解析） 第 65 题 前句 if 这句话是条件状语从句，这句话没有主句，所以用祈使句做主句。 5 作文 第一节:应用文写作（满分 15 分) Dear Jack, Knowing that you won the first prize in the Chinese Bridge Competition, I feel very delighted.

The moment the shepherd saw his family, he ran to them directly, kissing and embracing each of them by turns. Knowing that this was known to be the happiest family they were looking for, the prince couple approached them and asked politely "l am sorry, but could you please cut a piece of your underwear for us?” But the happiest shepherd couple felt confused and said “We would like to help you but we don't wear any underwear.” Feeling disappointed and tired out, the prince couple decided to go back. Immediately they returned to their country they visited the old wise man, saying that the magic charm was no where to be found. The old man smiled and said “Well is our trip a vain effort?" The prince couple thought to themselves for a while and finally, they realized that the true magic charm was in their mind, and happiness depends on themselves. Then they held hands firmly and looked in each other’ s eyes, knowing that they would never be unhappy whatever came their way.
