第一节 （共 15 小题；每小题 3 分，满分 45 分）
(A)
Many of us know about Russia’s Lake Baikal from our textbooks, or by listening
to Chinese singer Li Jian’s hit song, Lake Baikal. But over the past decade, the
world’s deepest freshwater lake has been in the spotlight for an extreme sport.
Each March since 2005, about 150 people from around the world sign up for the
Baikal Ice Marathon. They come to explore the lake’s breathtaking beauty and
challenge themselves in unpredictable conditions.
The 26-mile (41. 84-kilometers) journey starts on the lake’s eastern shore. In
March, the ice is a meter thick and iron-hard. Runners cross this frozen surface,
finishing on the western side of the lake.
Known as the “blue eye of Siberia”, Lake Baikal has exceptionally clear waters.
This means its ice is almost perfectly transparent. “Seen from above, a runner on
the ice looks as if he or she is jogging through space,” The New York Times noted.
The landscape might be beautiful, but it’s also harsh. Strong winds blast (侵
袭) across the lake and frostbite (冻伤) can occur within half an hour. Runners say
the cold climate is what draws them. They want to test their limits.
“When you are in such an environment, you don’t have cars around you, you don’t
have the noise around. I think these extreme races allow you to be alone with nature,”
Alicja Barahona, a 64-year-old runner from the US, told ABC News.
The location offers some strange and unique characteristics for this marathon.
The finish line is visible from the start. But the endless white offers no progress
markers. The race also ends with little fanfare (喧闹). Tourists crowding the ice
are mostly addicted to snapping series (自拍) and just ignore the runners.
For some runners, the absence of spectators makes the race more challenging,
because it’s lonely. They must fight with themselves. “You are alone on Baikal.
It is your race. You are alone with yourself. All you need to do is to defeat yourself,” Veronique Messina, a French runner, told the Telegraph.
1. What can we know about the Baikal Ice Marathon from the text?
A. It takes runners from the northern end to the southern end of the lake.
B. It involves extreme weather and beautiful scenery.
C. It attracts more and more participants each year.
D. It is about 26 kilometers in length.
2. How does the Baikal Ice Marathon differ from other marathons?
A. Only men are allowed to run in this race.
B. The runners can see the finish line from the start.
C. The runners are often distracted by tourists.
D. There are many progress markers on the ice.
3. What is the most difficult part of the race for Messina?
A. Loneliness. B. The long distance.
C. The cold climate. D. Noisy surroundings.
【答案】1. B 2. B 3. A

In 1972, a social worker named Sanjit Bunker Roy founded Barefoot College in
Tilonia, Rajasthan. Today the college trains women from villages for six months to
build and maintain solar panels and other instruments. Barefoot College also offers
education to the younger generation both during the day and at its solar bridge schools
that meet by lamplight at night.
The philosophy of Barefoot College is largely inspired by the principles of Gandhi,
starting with equality beyond caste (种姓), gender or religion. As a matter of
fact, women are prioritized (优先考虑) as an underserved population that is essential
to bringing villages together. Another central principle of the college is
self-reliance, teaching students to support and think for themselves.
After the college’s female students have completed their half-year of training,
they return to their villages where they wait for solar panel parts to arrive from
the college. Once they have all the pieces they need, they construct the panels and
begin collecting solar energy. For each village, the college also provides solar lamps.
Villagers can, in addition, order parts for other solar-powered devices, such as water
heaters and cooking stoves. Once assembled, they and the lamps are powered by the
solar panels.
The effect on the villages is huge. Before the solar panels and lamps arrived,
villagers had only candles to light their homes. This prevented adults from doing
serious work at night, and it made studying difficult for children as well. As for
physicians, they had difficulty treating patients and performing operations at night
because they had to rely on flashlights.
Now there is power for not only the electrical appliances that the college provides
but also devices like televisions, radios and computers. For the first time, the
villagers can even connect to the world through the Internet.
4. What does this text explain about the college?
A. How it accomplishes its goals.
B. How its global efforts are funded.C. How its founder hires employees.
D. How it works with the government.
5. Which idea is communicated by the college to women?
A. They should be more involved in politics.
B. They don’t have to depend on others.
C. They aren’t educating their daughters enough.
D. They focus too much on their communities.
6. Which role do the women play after they return to their villages?
A. They’re merchants. B. They’re composers.
C. They’re technicians. D. They’re journalists.
7. In the past, what was hard to provide in villages after dark?
A. Dry shelter B. Clean water
C. Medical care D. Food supplies
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. C
【解析】

Imagine you are opening your own company and want to hire a manager. You have
two candidates and they are both capable and experienced, so who would you rather
hire: Julia Watson or Shobha Bhattacharva? Chances are that you would prefer Watson,
right? But why?
“Easy names are evaluated as more familiar, less risky and less dangerous, ”
Eryn Newman, a scientist at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand, told
Scientific American. As a result, people with easier names are often assumed to be
more trustworthy. This is what Newman and her teammates have found in their recent
study.
In the experiment, they picked 18 different foreign names, including
difficult-to-pronounce ones like Yevgeni Dherzhinsky and easy names like Bodo
【Wallmeyer. They then attached each name with a statement such as “turtles are deaf”
and “giraffes are the only mammals that cannot jump” and asked volunteers whether
they thought the claims were true.
The results showed that claims connected to easier names were more often ranked
as believable than those attributed to difficult names, regardless of what the truth
really was. In fact, previous studies have already found that our judgments about
products can be affected by their names. For example, we tend to think of a food
additive (添加剂) with an easier name as safer and a stock with an easier name as
more lucrative (利润丰厚的)，according to Medical Daily.
But researchers pointed out that this effect can change depending on where someone
comes from. For example, a native British man may find “Yevgeni Dherzhinsky” hard
to pronounce while Russian people could say it without effort. Newman hopes that this
finding can make us better see our biases (偏见). It’s not just unfair to people
that we make judgments based on gut feelings (直觉) rather than facts, and it can
sometimes have serious consequences.
For example, we may choose to believe certain eyewitnesses in court simply because
their names sound more trustworthy even if they are actually lying. Or, we may let
go of qualified job candidates due to their “difficult” names.
Now, if you could make that decision again, would you still prefer Julia Watson
to Shobha Bhattacharva?
8. What did Newman and her teammates discover in their experiment?
A. Volunteers with easier names were more likely to choose true claims.
B. A difficult name doesn’t influence the way the volunteers viewed the claims.
C. Volunteers trusted claims paired with easy names more often.
D. Volunteers trusted claims connected with difficult names.
9. The underlined words “this effect” in Paragraph 5 refer to the effect ______.
A. names have on peoples judgments
B. gut feelings have on people from different places
C. of decisions made based on facts
D. of people’s biases against certain types of people10. What can we conclude from the last paragraph?
A. We should think twice before we make a decision.
B. The harder your name is to pronounce, the more likely it is you will get a job.
C. Judging people based on their names may cause serious problems.
D. Russians have less bias against people’s names than the British.
11. What is probably the best title for the text?
A. Names Affect Products
B. Employers Prefer Shobha Bhattacharva
C. Difficult Names are Trustworthy
D Easy Names Win Out
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇说明文。主要说明了最近研究发现名字简单的人通常被认为更值得信任。文章同时
说明了实验过程以及研究人员指出这种影响可能会随着一个人来自哪里而改变，和这种影响
可能会导致的问题。
【8 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中 The results showed that claims connected to easier names were
more often ranked as believable than those attributed to difficult names, regardless
of what the truth really was.（结果表明，与难记的名字相比，与容易记的名字相关的说
法更容易被认为是可信的，不管事实真相是什么。）可知纽曼和她的队友发现，在实验中志愿
者更相信与简单名字配对的说法。故选 C。
【9 题详解】
词义猜测题。结合第四段中 The results showed that claims connected to easier names were
more often ranked as believable than those attributed to difficult names, regardless
of what the truth really was. In fact, previous studies have already found that our
judgments about products can be affected by their names.（结果表明，与难记的名字相比，
与容易记的名字相关的说法更容易被认为是可信的，不管事实真相是什么。事实上，之前的
研究已经发现，我们对产品的评价会受到产品名称的影响。）以及划线单词下文 can change
.depending on where someone comes from.可知第 5 段下划线的“这种影响”是指人名对人们的
判断所产生的影响。故选 A。
【10 题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段内容 Now, if you could make that decision again, would you
still prefer Julia Watson to Shobha Bhattacharva?（现在，如果你可以再做一次这个决
定，你还会选择 Julia Watson 而不是 Shobha Bhattacharva 吗?）以及上文 Or, we may let go
of qualified job candidates due to their “difficult” names.（或者，我们可能会因
为“难”的名字而放弃合格的求职者。）可推知从最后一段我们可以得出根据人名来判断一个
人可能会导致严重的问题。故选 C。
【11 题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“Easy names are evaluated as more familiar, less risky
and less dangerous, ” Eryn Newman, a scientist at Victoria University of Wellington,
New Zealand, told Scientific American. As a result, people with easier names are often
assumed to be more trustworthy. This is what Newman and her teammates have found in
their recent study.（新西兰惠灵顿维多利亚大学的科学家艾琳·纽曼在接受《科学美国人》
采访时说:“简单的名字被认为更熟悉、更安全、更不危险。”因此，名字简单的人通常被认
为更值得信任。这是纽曼和她的队友们在最近的研究中发现的。）以及文章主要内容为研究发
现人们更容易认为容易记的名字更可信。故 D 选项符合文章主旨。故选 D。
【点睛】词义猜测题是高考阅读理解中常考题型之一，可以大致分为
① 定义猜词，可以根据定义信息和举例猜测词义。如文中常用 refer to，be called 或
that’s to say，such as 等。
② 逻辑猜词可以根据同义词、反义词、因果关系词等猜测词义，例如，similarly,the same
as,but,however,while,on the other hand,since ,because 等，所猜词与这些提示词前/后面
部分的含义一样、相反或是前因后果。
③ 语法猜词，可以根据构词法，再结合上下文进行猜词。
④ 语境猜词，猜测词义离不开上下文的语境，通过上下文提供的情景和线索进行合理的分析，
同时还要关注其所在的整段及整篇文章。
⑤ 指代猜词即找出人称代词、指示代词、关系代词或关系副词等所指代的内容，做题时要注
意指代词的位置，以便于判断，然后用所找的指代内容替换划线代词，核实其逻辑、意义、
位置等是否一致，最后比较所找部分与选项，确定意思最接近的选项。如第二小题，结合第四段中 The results showed that claims connected to easier names were
more often ranked as believable than those attributed to difficult names, regardless
of what the truth really was. In fact, previous studies have already found that our
judgments about products can be affected by their names.（结果表明，与难记的名字相比，
与容易记的名字相关的说法更容易被认为是可信的，不管事实真相是什么。事实上，之前的
研究已经发现，我们对产品的评价会受到产品名称的影响。）以及划线单词下文 can change
depending on where someone comes from.可知第 5 段下划线的“这种影响”是指人名对人们的
判断所产生的影响。故选 A。
(D)
Many of us have had this experience: we lie down in a bed other than our own,
perhaps at a friend’s house or in a hotel room, and find it difficult or impossible
to fall asleep. Is it because the bed is uncomfortable? Maybe, but perhaps there can
be other reasons.
According to a new study published in Current Biology, a significant reason is
what the scientists call “first night effect”. They believe that one side of the
brain acts as a “night watch” to warn us about potential dangers. It forces us to
stay awake on the first night in a new environment.
For the study, 35 young volunteers were asked to sleep in a sleep lab for several
days. Meanwhile, researchers watched their brain activities.
According to the researchers, on their first night, the left brains were more
active than the right brains and people had a hard time sleeping. However, left-brain
activity decreased as days went by, falling even to the point of complete calm. In
this process, the participants got an increasingly better sleep experience.
The findings suggest that the different rhythms of the sides of the brain affect
our sleep. When the two sides work differently, the balance between them is broken.
Thus, the brain can’t relax and is sensitive to anything strange in the surroundings,
just as it is in daytime.
“At some level, the brain is continuing to analyze things, even though you are
not aware of the analysis,” US professor Jerome Siegel told Smithsonian Magazine.
“If something unusual happens – if a door opens or you hear a key in a lock – you can be alert, even though the intensity of the stimulus is quite low.”
More surprisingly, this phenomenon is similar to the way some animals sleep.
Whales, dolphins, and many birds can sleep with half of their brain while the other
half stays awake, with its corresponding eye staying open.
The researchers think that it is the result of evolution, and works to protect
us in potentially dangerous environments.
If you have ever had what you think is “first night effect”, researchers suggest
that you bring your own pillow or sleep in a room similar to your bedroom next time
you sleep away from home.
12. What did the new study published in Current Biology find?
A. A comfortable bed could help people sleep well in a new environment.
B. Most people could sleep well in a new environment after the first night.
C. Brain activities affected people’s sleep in a new environment.
D. The right brain determined how well people slept in a new environment.
13. What was found out about the volunteers?
A. Their left brains were more active on the first night.
B. Their right brains became more active as days went by.
C. Their right brains kept them awake the whole night.
D. They slept better in the sleep lab than at home.
14. What do the researchers think makes the brain sensitive to new things?
A. The bad sleep experiences people have had.
B. The tiredness that people suffer from in daytime.
C. The imbalance between the two sides of the brain.
D. The strangeness of the things that people come across.
15. What do the researchers think of “first night effect”?
A. It has evolved as a way to protect us.
B. It’s a characteristic that animals don’t have.
C. It’s completely different from the way animals sleep.
D. It helps people to get used to new environments quickly.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. C 15. A【解析】
本文是一篇说明文，介绍了“第一晚效应”对我们的影响以及产生的原因。
【12 题详解】
细 节 理 解 题 。 根 据 第 二 段 中 的 “According to a new study published in Current
Biology, a significant reason is what the scientists call “first night effect”.
They believe that one side of the brain acts as a “night watch” to warn us about
potentialdangers.”可知，在新环境中睡不好觉的一个重要的原因是科学家们所说的“第一
晚效应”，他们认为，大脑的一侧就像一个守夜人，提醒我们注意潜在的危险，由此可知，发
表在《当代生物学》杂志上的这项新研究发现大脑活动影响人们在新环境中的睡眠，故 C 项
正确。
【13 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“According to the researchers, on their first night, the
left brains were more active than the right brains”可知，研究发现志愿者的左脑在第一
个晚上更加活跃，故 A 项正确。
【14 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The findings suggest that the different rhythms of the
sides of the brain affect our sleep. When the two sides work differently, the balance
between them is broken.”可知，大脑两侧不同的节奏会影响我们的睡眠，当两侧工作方式
不同时，他们之间的平衡就会被打破，由此可知，大脑两侧的不平衡使大脑对新事物敏感，
故 C 项正确。
【15 题详解】
推 理 判 断 题 。 根 据 倒 数 第 二 段 “The researchers think that it is the result of
evolution, and works to protect us in potentially dangerous environments.”可知，
研究人员认为“第一晚效应”是进化的结果，并在潜在的危险环境中保护我们，也就是说“第
一晚效应”已经演变成一种保护我们的方式，故 A 项正确。

A rocket problem that forces astronauts to evacuate (撤退) may appear to be a
plot straight out of a Hollywood movie. However, that is exactly what happened to
Russian astronaut Alexey Ovchinin and American astronaut Nick Hague. _____16_____The event happened shortly after the Soyuz rocket and its Soyuz MS-to space capsule
(联盟号太空舱) carrying the astronauts took off from Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan.
_____17_____
The takeoff went off smoothly, but just 119 seconds later, officials from
Russia’s space agency informed NASA the booster (助推器) had failed to separate from
the capsule. _____18_____ Instead, they were ordered to evacuate by separating the
capsule and returning to Earth in what is known as a ballistic descent mode (弹道
下降模式). The sharp drop is similar to free-falling from the skies and subjects
astronauts to high levels of g-force.
______19______ They appeared to be in excellent condition when they crash-landed
about 20 kilometers east of Dzhezkazgan, Kazakhstan, just 34 minutes after they
stopped the task. Upon arrival, they were quickly found by the rescue team from
Baikonur Cosmodrome and taken to the hospital for a quick check-up to ensure they
had not suffered any injuries during their rough ride back to Earth.
It will take a few weeks for experts to determine what caused the problem of the
usually reliable Soyuz rocket. _____20_____ Hague, who was on his way to the space
station for the first time later joked, “I imagined that my first trip to outer space
was going to be a memorable one. I didn’t expect it to be quite this memorable.”
A. To their sadness, this event became a nightmare for their future space journey.
B. The two scientists were on their way to carry out a six-month task at the
International Space Station.
C. Surprisingly, the harrowing event has not stopped Hague’s and Ovchinin’s wish
to go to space.
D. Thus, the astronauts didn’t head to the International Space Station.
E. And luckily, they became the main characters of the movie about space exploration.
F. Fortunately, the “movie” had a happy ending with both scientists returning to
Earth safely.
G. Fortunately, Hgue and Ovchinin had been well-trained for such emergencies.
【答案】16. F 17. B
18. D 19. G 20. C

Sometimes, when he was gone on a Saturday ride, I’d ___33___ his leathers and look in the mirror, ___34___ if I looked like a biker myself.
Since then, I’ve learned a few things and slowly my prejudices about motorcycles
and motorcycle riders have started to ___35___. Sitting on the back of a motorcycle,
___36___ all your trust in someone to get you safely home is a way of ___37___ you
that you love them.
Maybe the most important lesson, ___38___, is that you really can’t judge a book
by its cover --- no matter how much leather it wears. Motorcycle riders are not ___39___,

这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一款应用软件 Tik Tok（抖音）。

I am glad to know that Tang poetry appeals you so much. Now, I’m writing to satisfy
your burnt curiosity. What’s more, I’d like to offer you some advices on
understanding it.
Tang poetry, which represents the traditional Chinese culture, have a splendid
history and enjoys a great reputation international. With the minimum of words, it
gives a clear picture and conveys a certain emotion. However, Tang poems are easy
to recite because they usually have a strong rhythm.
As for learning strategies, I want to give you some suggestions. First of all,
you’d better start with the works of some representative poets, among them Li Bai,
Du Fu and Bai Juyi were the most outstanding ones. What’s more, it is necessary to
get some relevant background of knowledge about the poets. In addition, reciting one
poem repeatedly is the best approach to get the hang of it.
Hope you can adopt our suggestions.
【答案】1.appeal 后加 to 2.burnt→burning
3.advices→advice
4.have→has
5. international→internationally
6. However→Besides 或 Moreover
7.them→ whom
8.去掉 of
9.get→getting
10. our→my
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇说明文。主要说明了一些关于学唐诗的建议。
【详解】1.考查固定短语。句意：我很高兴知道你很喜欢唐诗。固定短语 appeal to“对……
有吸引力”，故 appeal 后加 to。
2.考查形容词。句意：现在，我写信是为了满足你强烈的好奇心。修饰 curiosity 名词应用
形容词，表示“强烈的”，故 burnt 改为 burning。
3.考查名词。句意：更重要的是，我想给你一些理解它的建议。advice 为不可数名词，没有
复数形式。故 advices 改为 advice。
4.考查主谓一致。句意：唐诗是中国传统文化的代表，有着灿烂的历史，在国际上享有盛誉。
本句主语为 Tang poetry，谓语动词应用第三人称单数，故 have 改为 has。
5.考查副词。句意同上。修饰动词 enjoy 应用副词，故 international 改为
internationally。
6.考查连词。句意：此外，唐诗很容易背诵，因为它们通常有很强的节奏。根据句意可知上
下文为承接关系，故 However 改为 Besides 或 Moreover。
7.考查定语从句关系词。句意：首先，你最好从一些代表性诗人的作品开始，其中李白、杜
甫和白居易是最杰出的诗人。本句为“介词+关系代词”结构定语从句修饰先行词 poets，且
做介词 among 的宾语，指人，应用 whom。故 them 改为 whom。
8.考查固定短语。句意：更重要的是，有必要获得一些有关诗人的背景知识。固定短语
background knowledge“背景知识”，故去掉 of。
9.考查非谓语动词。句意：此外，反复背诵一首诗是掌握它的最好方法。固定短语 approach to doing“做某事的途径方法”，故 get 改为 getting。
10.考查物主代词。句意：希望你能采纳我的建议。此处是指采纳作者提出的建议，故 our 改
为 my。
【点睛】定语从句的关系词的选择可考虑以下三点：
(1)一看先行词的意义，即分清先行词是指人、指物、时间、地点还是原因(如指物时不能用 who
或 whom，指人时通常不用 which 等)
(2)二看关系词的句法功能，即分清关系词是担任什么句子成分，是作主语还是宾语、是作定
语还是状语等(如作定语通常用 whose，有时也用 which；作状语要用 when, where, why)
(3)三看定语从句的种类，即分清是限制性定语从句还是非限制性定语从句(如 that 和 why 通
常不引导非限制性定语从句)
如第七小题，句意：首先，你最好从一些代表性诗人的作品开始，其中李白、杜甫和白居易
是最杰出的诗人。本句为“介词+关系代词”结构定语从句修饰先行词 poets，且做介词 among
的宾语，指人，应用 whom。故 them 改为 whom。

Yours,
Li Hua【答案】Dear Mr. Yang,
I’ve learned that an exhibition of famous painting is to be held and that you’re
collecting suggestions on its location. I’m writing this letter to share with you
my opinions.
In my opinion, it is more advisable to hold the art exhibition in the main school
than in the new one. My reasons are as follows.
On one hand, it is more convenient for people to get to the main one, which is
located in the center of the city. Besides, it can provide visitors with a more
comfortable environment for appreciating art.
On the other hand, as a well-known school, the main school is more professional
and experienced in holding such activities as art exhibition. Its professional
security guards and advanced facilities can better protect those famous paintings
from being damaged or stolen.
Therefore, I suggest the exhibition be held in the main school.
Li Hua

保持整洁美观的卷面是非常重要的。
【点睛】范文内容完整, 语言规范, 语篇连贯, 词数适当。作者在范文中使用了较多高级表达
方式, 如 I’ve learned that an exhibition of famous painting is to be held and that you’re collecting suggestions on its location.运用了宾语从句；On one hand, it is
more convenient for people to get to the main one, which is located in the center
of the city.运用了 which 引导的非限制性定语从句。全文中没有中国式英语的句式, 显示了
很高的驾驭英语的能力。另外,文章思路清晰、层次分明,上下句转换自然,为文章增色添彩。
