We’ve been sold an almost-empty box of ice cream!”Dad shouted.It didn’t even cross his mind that there might be another reason.But smart Emily stared directly at Larry and asked,“Can you think of any other reason why the ice cream has disappeared?”Everyone quickly understood her implication. Paragraph2:To my great shock,just when I hesitated to admit it,Larry said,“Yes.I ate it.”My parents looked at Larry with disappointment,not believing that he would do such a thing.He had高二英语（答）—1always been a good boy.Then he apologized.Seeing that Larry’s face reddened and his eyes swelled,I got my lesson and told the truth.My father didn’t get mad about my behavior.Instead,he praised my brother for his kindness and courage,and also praised me for not escaping the blame for what I had done.He then bought another box of ice cream.We ate happily.听力材料Text1W:I’m late for work and my car isn’t working,so I need to find someone to take me to work.M:I can take you.Text2W:I went to a really cool museum with my class yesterday.M:Really?You mean the Nature Museum?W:No,it was the Science Museum,and there was a show of robots.We were supposed to go to the Art Museum,but that got canceled so we did this instead.Text3W:I just came to pick up my plastic container that I lent you the other day.M:Oh,right.Well,I’ve just washed it actually,so here you go.Text4W:John,can you do me a favor in the kitchen?M:At your service.W:I would like half of the chicken cut into slices,and the other half kept.Remember to cut off the fat.Your father doesn’t like the taste.Text5W:Hey,Rex,how are you at cooking?Are you any good?M:Not really if I’m honest.Text6M:What did you do on the weekend,Amy?W:Let me think.Oh,I went shopping on Friday evening and bought some daily necessities for the apartment.M:What did you get?W:Oh,some towels and a new toothbrush.Saturday wasn’t too bad.I went jogging in the morning and went to the gym in the afternoon.But after all that exercise,I was too tired to do anything on Saturday night.M:So how about Sunday?W:It was great!I went out on a date with a really great man that night.Text7W:Slow down,Adam.You’re driving like a mad man.M:I told Greta I’d pick her up at9:45.Her plane lands at9:20.W:Relax.It’s just9o’clock now.There’s plenty of time.M:I suppose so.W:Did you have breakfast yet?M:No.I jumped out of bed this morning and ran out of the front door.I didn’t have time to eat.W:I’ve got an apple in my bag,if you want it.高二英语（答）—2M:Have you got anything else?W:Pens,pencils,a notebook…but nothing to eat.Just the apple,I’m afraid.M:I’ll pick something up at the airport.W:Are you crazy?Food’s always ten times more expensive at the airport.Text8W:How on earth did you fall out of the window?M:I was sitting with my mother in the living room playing with my toys.My sister started crying in the bedroom,and my mom went to take care of her.So I pushed a chair near a window and climbed on top to have a look outside.And while I was standing by the window,my biscuit fell out of my mouth.I tried to catch it,but I lost my balance and fell.W:Oh,my goodness!Do you remember the fall?M:It was all very quick,but I remember lying on the ground with people all around me.And then I saw my mom.She was hopeless,because she thought my head hurt,but all I had was a broken leg.I was very lucky.W:Surely you’re a lucky boy.Be more careful next time.Text9W:Can I help you?M:Yes,my son and daughter bought this pen here for my wife’s birthday,but it doesn’t work,so I’d like to exchange it.W:Let me see.Was it dropped or anything?M:No,but you can see that the point is bent a little bit.W:Yes,it is,isn’t it?We’d be happy to exchange it for you.But I’m afraid we don’t have another purple one.We only have this pen in black or yellow now.M:My wife doesn’t really care for either of those colors.W:We have one with a red leather cover.That’s three dollars more.M:The children worked hard to save up the eleven dollars for this one.They would probably be upset if I paid for part of their present.W:If you want,we can order another pen just like this one.M:That sounds like a good idea.Would you please go ahead and do that?W:We’d be very happy to.It will take a week or ten days.We’ll call you when it comes in.M:Thank you very much.Text10M:May I have your attention,please?Today,I would like to share with you one of my experiences.It happened to me a few years ago.That day after lunch I was on my way to school hurriedly becauseI was afraid that I would be late.Suddenly I hit against an old man carelessly and the books andpapers in my hand dropped onto the ground.It was I that hit against him but I scolded the old man rudely.The man just smiled at me and helped me pick up all the books and papers on the ground.After that he turned round and went away.When I got to my classroom,our class teacher told us that a new teacher would replace him and the new teacher would arrive soon.To my surprise,I found that the new teacher was the man I had run into on my way to school.I believed he would have a rather poor opinion of me but he treated me the same as other students.From my story I learned a lesson that I should be polite to a stranger at any time.参考答案及解析第二部分阅读第一节A【语篇导读】本文是一篇应用文。

Charing Cross.BFor almost two months Dominic York, a 23-year-old hairdresser, wandered about hospitals all night, wearing a white coat and pretending he was a doctor. Yesterday he proudly claimed in court that despite his complete lack of medical experience or qualifications, he had saved several people's lives. He had even been allowed to assist a surgeon during an emergency operation on a patient who was about to die on something she had swallowed.“I watched one of those TV dramas about a hospital and suddenly I felt like playing one of the roles myself. So I put on a white jacket and a stethoscope（听诊器）and walked around one of the biggest hospital in London. At first, I just watched. Once you learn how doctors talk to patients, nurses and other doctors, it's easy to take people in.” he said.One of the patients he treated was Laura Kennan. She had been knocked down by a car and fainted. When she came into hospital, York was standing over her.“He looked very professional. He told me his name was Doctor Simon. Then he gave me some sort of injection." she said. And then he suddenly cleared off when a nurse asked who he was. She didn't think there was anything wrong. "I would never have realized he was a fake if a policewoman hadn't showed me his photograph a week later. When the policewoman told me who he really was, I cou ld hardly believe my ears.”Judge Raymond Adams told York that he was "shocked and horrified,, that he got away with his deceiving（欺瞒）for so long, and then sentenced him to eighteen months in a special prison for criminal with mental disorders.“1 can only hope that this will not lead to further problems. After all, you will have considerable opportunities to study the behavior of the psychiatrists（精神科医生）who will look after you while you are there. If you try to persuade people that you yourself are a psych iatrist after you are set free, 1 shall make sure that you are given a much longer sentence.” Judge Adams warned York.24.York was proud of the fact that.A. a surgeon let him watch an operation.B. he could perform some duties of a doctorC. he had cheated doctors for so longD. people thought he could become a real doctor25.York learned how to behave like a doctor by.A. watching other doctors workB. talking to doctors and nursesC. getting some training and experienceD. observing doctors while he was a patient26.Why was Laura Kennan in hospital?A.She had swallowed something and almost died.B.She had to have an emergency operation.C.She had been injured in a road accident.D.She had lost consciousness while driving.27.The judge's remark implied that York would be more severely punished if he.A. pretended to be a psychiatristB. tried to get away from prisonC. was proud of what he had doneD. studied the behavior of the psychiatristCThe baby is just one day old and has not yet left hospital. She is quiet but alert （警觉）.Twenty centimeters from her face researchers have placed a white card with two black spots on it. She stares at it carefully. A researcher removes the card and replaces it by another, this time with the spots differently spaced. As the cards change from one to the other, her gaze （注视）starts to lose its focus —until a third, with three black spots, is presented. Her gaze returns; she looks at it for twice as long as she did at the previous card. Can she tell that the number two is different from three, just 24 hours after coining into the world?Or do newborns simply prefer more to fewer? The same experiment, but with three spots shown before two, shows the same return of interest when the number of spots changes. Perhaps it is just the newness? When slightly older babies were shown cards with pictures of objects （a comb, a key, an orange and so on）, changing the number of objects had an effect separate from changing the objects themselves. Could it be the pattern that two things make, as opposed to three? No again. Babies paid more attention to squares moving randomly on a screen when their number changed from two to three, or three to two. The effect even crosses between senses. Babies who were repeatedly shown two spots became more excited when they then heard three drumbeats than when they heard just two; likewise （同样地）when the researchers started with drumbeats and moved to spots.28.The experiment described in Paragraph 1 is related to the baby's ______.A. sense of hearingB. sense of sightC. sense of touchD. sense of smell29.Babies are sensitive to the change in___.A. the size of cardsB. the color of picturesC. the shape of patternsD. the number of objects30.Why did the researchers test the babies with drumbeats?A. To reduce the difficulty of theexperiment.B. To see how babies recognize sounds.C. To carry their experiment further.D. To keep the babies9 interest.31.Where does this text probably come from?A. Science fiction.B. Children's literature.C. An advertisement.D. A science report.The word advertising refers to any kind of public announcement that brings products and services to the attention of people. Throughout history, advertising has been an effective way to promote the trading and selling of goods. In the Middle Ages, merchants employed “town criers” to read public messages aloud to promote their goods. When printing was invented in the fifteenth century, pages of advertisements （ads） could be printed easily and were either hung in public places or put in books.By the end of the seventeenth century, when newspapers were beginning to be read by more people, printed materials became an important way to promote products and services. The London Gazette was the first newspaper to set aside a place just for advertising. This was so successful that by the end of the century several companies started businesses for the purpose of making newspaper ads for merchants.Advertising spread quickly throughout the eighteenth century. Ad writers were starting to pay more attention to the design of the ad text. Everything, from clothes to drinks, was promoted with clever methods such as repetition of the firm's name or product, words organized in eye-catching patterns, the use of pretty pictures and expressions easy to remember.Near the end of the nineteenth century, companies that were devoted to the production of ads came to be known as ""advertising agencies （广告商）The agencies developed new ways to get people to think of themselves as members of a group. Throughout the twentieth century, advertising agencies promoted consumerism （消费主义）as a way of life, spreading the belief that people could be happy only if they bought the "right“ products.32.What was advertising like in the Middle Ages?A.Merchants were employed to promote products.B.Ad messages were shouted out in public places.C.Product information was included in books.D.Ad signs were put up in towns.33.What does the word "This" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Advertising in newspapers.B. Including pictures in ads.C. Selling goods in markets.D. Working with ad agencies.34.The 18th century advertising was special in its.A. growing spendingB. printing materialsC. advertising companiesD. attractive designs35. Which of the following might be the best title for the text?A. The Story of AdvertisingB. The Value of Advertising DesignsC. The Role of Newspaper AdvertisingD. The Development of Printing for Advertising其次节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）依据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

I joined a group of local runners who knew the route. While running, I was overfilled with 5 to still see neighbors who gathered outside their houses 6 out bottles of water as they watched runners go by. The runners and supporters made the race feel like a real marathon, during which the shared goal of reaching the finishing line and the affirmations from the crowds made me believe I could run the 7 race.The last one mile of the route was downhill. By that point in the race, my legs felt like jelly. But from the top of the hill, I could see dozens of supporters cheering runners home, which 8 me to move on. When my smart watch finally ticked to “26.2” miles, I called out “I’m done” to Louisa, who had been giving a much needed 9 along the way. I let out a dry sob and gave Louisa a hug.

AWhen Maleficent first appeared in cinemas five years ago, with her sculpted cheekbones and twisted devil horns, she became an instant hit with audiences around the world. Now, she’s back with a new movie.The sequel to Disney’s 2014 film, Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, hit Chinese mainland cinemas on Oct 18．It was expected to be one of the hottest film releases of the month.What makes this film popular with audiences?“Maleficent （2019）is a fierce fairy tale about the joy of being uniquely individual,”Carla Renata, a US film critic, wrote on Twitter.The sequel features new and distinctive characters, Maleficent, played by US actress Angelina Jolie, is an evil fairy witch who hates human beings for the betrayal of her human lover. Then we have Princess Aurora, played by US actress Elle Fanning, who is kind and strong. Even though Maleficent cursed her and took her captive, Aurora refuses to hate fairies. A new character, Queen Ingrith, is Aurora’s mother-in-law. She’s a typical villain who will spare no effort to divide Maleficent and Aurora. She hopes lo divide humans and fairies forever.“These characters are so unique that you would remember even many years after you finished watching the movie,”said Renata.Apart from the strong cast of characters, the movie’s theme of inclusiveness and cooperation between two distinct groups is meant to enlighten audiences. Both fairies and humans must find a way to understand each other if they want to protect the peaceful land where magical creatures live together.“The film is about kindness and acceptance and tolerance,”Fanning told Metro, “We want people to be kind to one another... to understand that it is wrong to out people that arc different.”With such a powerful theme, there’s no wonder that USA Today says it’s among Disney’s best live-action sequels.21．What do we know about the character Maleficent?A．She fights for human beings. B．She betrays her human lover.C．She sees humans as her enemies. D．She makes friends with Aurora.22．What did Renata think makes the 2019 Maleficent film special?A．A fairy tale. B．Unique characters.C．A powerful theme. D．Many film stars playing roles.23．What does the 2019 Maleficent film want to tell viewers?A．Peace is the key to happiness.B．It takes effort to make the world a better place.C．Humans should care about other creatures.D．We should be kind to and tolerant of others.BReading books and looking at pictures is great, but nothing assists learning like travel, especially for teenagers. Not only do they get to see a world beyond their neighborhood, they also gel to experience it - feel it, taste it, hear it and better understand the world around them. After nearly four decades in the classroom and traveling the world, Phyllis Duvall Bailey knew this perhaps better than anyone else.Becoming involved with the work in AKA Sorority Inc in US, she worked to educate children about the United Nations. There was no doubt in Bailey s mind that the lessons would mean so much more if the students could see things for themselves Starting in 2015, Bailey, 82, set out to take her students to the UN Headquarters m New York City to give them a “Window Seat to the World”，and thus transform them into global citizens. Indeed, it is a great opportunity to give students national and international exposure. Since Bailey saw the students as future leaders, she was desperate to expose them to the UN, its mission, its agendas （议程）and its supporting organizations. She decided to give ＄10，000 （70，720 yuan）of her own money to pay for the late June trip, enough to take 10 student ages 14-17 on a four-night stay in New York. There, they had guided tours of the UN Headquarters and the New York City harbor.It was Quenyaun Payne’s first trip to the city and Taylor Sappington’s second. Payne, 17，is a senior at McEachern High School in the state of Georgia, US. Sappington, 15，is a junior at Therrell High School in Atlanta, Georgia, US. Both said their visit to the UN was inspiring, “I liked how countries are not only working together, they’re focused on common goals like global warming and keeping the peace,”Sappington said. Payne commented, “The trip was amazing. I’m so thankful Mrs. Bailey made it possible.”Actually, there are a lot of people grateful for the retired teacher’s effort. The United Nations Association of Atlanta recently gave Bailey its Humanitarian Award, and the United Notions Association of the US awarded her with the National Education Award. But Bailey wasn’t looking for recognition or even gratitude. Over those fourdays in New York, she’d already felt it, seen it in the eyes of those 10 teenagers, Payne and Sappington included, who made the trip. “It has been a real joy to get to see and watch their reaction to new experiences,”she said. 24．How did Bailey help students?A．She offered students volunteer opportunities at the UN.B．She paid for them to go to school.C．She paid for trips that helped students see the worldD．She taught students life-long learning skills.25．What can we know from Sappington’s words?A．He is determined to work for the UN in the future.B．He would like to contribute to global affaire.C．He found the trip to the UN meaningful.D．He wants to visit New York City again26．What would Bailey probably agree with?A．Students today are more willing to seek new experiences.B．Winning an award motivated her to work hard.C．Classroom teaching limits students’ development.D．Students’ gains arc more important than the recognition of her efforts.CArtificial intelligence products arc not new. However, researchers have been working to improve the technology. Now virtual assistants, like Sin and Alexa, can have short conversations with us. AlphaGo taught itself to play Go and became better than the top human players.Now an AI system has been tasked with passing a multiple-choice exam. The goal is to improve machines’language understanding and logic with so-called computer vision.A system named Anslo was developed by the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence, a lab in the United States city of Seattle. It recently passed an eighth-grade science exam taken by many US students, The New York Times reported. It correctly answered more than 90 percent of the questions. Then it was given a twelfth-grade exam. It scored more than 80 percent.It’s an example of the progress in AI development. Four years ago, 700 computer scientists tried to develop AI systems that could pass these kinds of exams. None scored higher than 60 percent.Aristo was able to pass the exams because it can not only understand language but also use logical thinking to solve difficult problems. For example, it can understand what a forest fire is and how it could endanger animals likesquirrels or decrease the food supply they need.The system used BERT, a kind of neural （神经的）network technology developed by Google, to answer the questions. BERT has “read”thousands of English articles If it looks at a sentence with a missing word, it can correctly guess what the word is With BERT’s help, Aristo “read”many multiple-choice questions and answers. Over time, it was able to find logical patterns on its own.It may still be in the earliest stages, said Jingjing Liu, a Microsoft researcher who has been working on similar technologies “We can’t compare this technology to real human students and their ability to reason.”However, Aristo’s success means that AI systems are getting better at understanding users, and we might see improved search engines and hospital databases （数据库）in the near future.27．Why did scientists develop Aristo?A．To make better multiple-choice exams.B．To improve AI’s ability to teach itself.C．To shorten the time AI needs to “read”information.D．To improve the language understanding and logic of AI.28. What can we know about Aristo from its exam results?A．It was smarter than most US students.B．It could only deal with science questions.C．It was best at understanding English.D．It did better than other AI systems in similar tasks.29．What does the sixth paragraph talk about?A．How Aristo teaches itself. B．How Aristo reads English articles.C．How Google developed BERT. D．How Google designed Aristo.30．What can we learn from Jingjing Liu’s words?A．AI will soon replace humans in many tasks.B．Aristo still cannot compare to human reasoning skills.C．Humans can’t live without AI in the future.D．Aristo performs better with a larger database.第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
