现代文阅读（共68分）（一）阅读下面的文字，完成各小题。
大神级作家要培养高雅“上帝”何勇海“读者是上帝”是网络文学的基本规则。
对此，评论家白烨日前指出，这个规则需要反思。
当你是个一般网络作者时，你可能不得不去迁就读者，给自己赢得一定的名声与影响。
当你成为大神级作家后，就理当起到一个大神应该起的作用，把领袖价值、引导作用体现出来，用富于人文精神的写作引领读者，示范其他作者，而不是只去一味博得众多读者喝彩，活在低俗与媚俗写作营造的粉丝迷恋中。
白烨的论断让人耳目一新。
在网络文学领域，很多写手确有“读者是上帝”的意识，希望读者喜欢自己的作品，希望有读者购买文学网站的虚拟货币给写手“打赏”，甚至希望有大量铁杆粉丝日夜追随，将自己捧成“网络大神”。
这些想法固然没有多大错误—哪怕是传统文学，也需市场检验优劣与成败，更何况网络文学?如果某网络写手的作品无人点击，恐怕只有放弃写作这个“春秋大梦”了。
问题关健在于，视读者为“上帝”，切不可唯读者“马首是瞻”，因为读者形形色色、品位趣味各异。
有些网络写手，却盲目迎合、一味迁就读者的口味，在作品中大打情色、暴力、仇杀等擦边球，不断走向低俗。
难怪有人说，某些网络文学简直就是个别“上帝”握着作者的手写出来的“文学垃圾”、“精神糟粕”。
网络文学虽是商品，但又不是纯粹的商品，如此写作，短期内或能赢得少数读者，长期看却会丢失大部分读者。
而大神级作家，则应当承担起培养高雅读者的使命。
正如白烨所言，一般网络作者可能不得不去迁就读者，给自己赢得一定的名声与影响;但成为大神级作家后，就理当把领袖价值、引导作用体现出来。
一方面，这是爱惜自身“羽毛”之需要。
从身处底层、疯狂码字的文艺青年成长为塔尖的“网络大神”，非常不易—有报道称，1O万位作者中才会产生一位大神，能从众多人中脱颖而出，一定得有自己独特之处，千万勿在粉丝迷恋中迷失。

wingspan，can slay aloft （up in the air）for weeks at a time，a new study has found．Since the frigatebird spends most of its life at sea，its habits outside of when it reproduces on land aren't well﹣known ﹣until researchers started tracking them around the Indian Ocean．What the researchers discovered is that the birds' flying ability is unbelievable．Ornithologist （乌类学者）Henri Weimerskirch put satellite tags on a couple of frigatebirds．When the data started to come in，he could hardly believe how high the birds flew．"First，we found，'Whoa，1，500 meters，excellent，'" says Weimerskirch．"And after 2，000，after 3，000，after 4，000 meters ﹣OK，at this altitude they are in freezing conditions，especially surprising for a tropical bird．""There is no other bird flying so high relative to the sea surface，" he says．"It's the only bird that is known to intentionally enter into a cloud．" And not just any cloud ﹣a soft，white cumulus cloud （积云）．Over the ocean，these clouds tend to form in places where warm air rises from the sea surface．The birds take a ride on the current of rising air，all the way up to the top of the cloud．Frigatebirds have to find ways to stay aloft because they can't land on the water．Since their feathers aren't waterproof，the birds would drown in short order．They feed by attacking other birds in flight until they bring whatever fish they've swallowed back into their mouth and the frigatebird takes it．So in between meals，frigatebirds fly higher…and higher．In one case，for two months ﹣continuously aloft．One of the tagged birds flew 40 miles without a wing﹣flap．Several covered more than 300 miles a day on average，and flew continuously for weeks．They are blessed with an unusual body．No bird has a larger wing surface area compared with body weight．58．How did researchers feel when data about frigatebirds reached them？A．Calm B．Surprised C．Hopeful D．Anxious59．According to the passage，how can frigatebirds fly so high？A．By flying into a cloud．B．With the help of researchers．C．Thanks to advanced technology．D．By following other birds into the sky．60．In what aspect are frigatebirds different from other birds？A．When they give birth．B．What they feed on．C．Their body weight．D．Their wing surface area．（8分）As experts warn of coming food crisis，the vertical fanning industry aims to create plants that offer more nutritional value and require fewer resources．In vertical farms，plants are grown indoors．Each set of plants is placed above another．Workers control the climate and closely monitor each plant's growth．Aerofarms is one of the top indoor﹣farming companies．One of its vertical farms is in a large building near a busy road in Newark，New Jersey．It grows more than 250 kinds of greens and herbs．Farmers wear gloves，coats and coverings on their head．Their shoes must be cleaned．AeroFarms grows crops at the same rate throughout the year．The methods it uses lower soil erosion （侵蚀）．They also reduce the amount of pesticides （杀虫剂）and water needed to grow the crops．The company says carbon emissions are heavily reduced．David Rosenberg is the co ﹣founder and chief executive officer of AeroFarms．"We could do this whether it is in the Sahara Desert or a city like Newark，" he said．"We think about how we can really bring and celebrate different typed of greens．"Alina Zolotareva is a dietitian and nutritionist at AcroFarms．She says she wants people to eat more leafy greens like kale，one of the most nutritionally dense foods．She says if her company is to successfully encourage this kind of healthy eating，it must grow crops that taste good．"Americans especially don't eat enough vegetables，and so for me the most exciting part is all of the different flavors that we have here．It makes eating your vegetables so much more exciting and so much more fun．" CEO David Rosenberg believes the company's kale is tasty．"A lot of people like the nutritional density of kale，but they don't like the taste．So we can make asweeter kale，" he said．Rosenberg said，"AcroFarms is helping the world deal with a growing food shortage and people must change their focus from the number of calories they consume to the nutrition levels of the foods they eat．"Recent World Bank studies predict that an estimated global population of 9 billion in 2050 will require at least 50 percent more food．Experts say the crisis will be worsened by climate change，which they believe will reduce crop harvests by more than 25 percent during that time．They say the food crisis will have a larger effect on the world's poorest citizens than on those who live in developed countries．61．What do we know about vertical farms？A．They are mostly of vast size．B．They aim to plant tasty foods．C．They grow crops half the year．D．They can control the environmental factors．62．Which is a requirement for farmers in AeroFarms？A．Complete confidenceB．Physical strengthC．SociabilityD．Tidiness63．How are the crops in AeroFarms？A．MuddyB．Energy﹣efficientC．WateryD．Quick﹣growing64．What does the last paragraph imply？A．The necessity of new farming approaches．B．The seriousness of population problems．C．The consequence of climate changeD．The popularity of vertical farming．30．（12分）Last weekend，I was watching television with a few friends，browsing the week'smost popular YouTube videos，when a piece in the comedy section called "I Forgot My Phone" caught my eye．As I was about to click the Play button，a friend warned，"Oh，don't watch that．I saw it yesterday，and it's really sad．"The two﹣minute video，which has been viewed more than 15 million times，begins with a couple in bed．The woman，played by the comedian and actress Charlene deGuzman，stares silently while her husband checks his smartphone．The subsequent scenes follow Ms．deGuzman through a day that is downright dystopian （反乌托邦的）；people ignore her as they stare at their phones during lunch，at a concert，while bowling and at a birthday party．The clips ends with Ms．deGuzman back in bed with her husband at the end of the day；he is still using his phone．MS．deGuzman's video makes for some disturbing viewing．It's a direct hit on our smartphone ﹣obsessed culture，showing our addiction to that little screen and suggesting that maybe life is just better led when it is lived rather than viewed．"It makes me sad that there are moments in our lives where we're not present because we're looking at a phone，"said Ms．deGuzman，who also wrote the piece，which was directed by Miles Crawford．She said that，like it or not，experiencing life through a four﹣inch screen could be the new norm．Or not ，Ms．deGuzman's video may have landed at one of those cultural moments when people start questioning if something has gone too far and start doing something about it．Last week，the unsound music festival in Poland banned fans from recording the event，saying it did not want"instant documentation"and distractions that might take away from the performances．In April，during a show in New York City，Karen O，the lead singer of the rock band Yeah Yeah Yeahs，told audience members to put away their phones．A number of New York restaurants，including Momofuku Ko and Chef's Table at Brooklyn Fare，have prohibited people from photographing their food．And，of course，many mothers and fathers who fought to keep the television out of the kitchen may see smartphones as the next threat to dinnertime civility．"Every experience is being mediated and conceived around how it can be captured and augmented （放大）by our devices，"said Matthias Crawford，a researcher in human﹣computer interactions and communication at Stanford university．"It can be clearly seen in our meals，where every portion leading up to，during and after a dining experience is being carved out by particular apps．"People make dinner reservations on Open Table；check in on Foursquare when they arriveat the restaurant；take a picture of their food to share on Instagram；post on Twitter a joke they hear during the meal；review the restaurant on Yelp；then，finally，coordinate a ride home using Uber．"If you're wondering when people are going to reject the phone，that will mean they need to reject Silicon Valley's entire concept of how you ought to be dining，"Mr．Crawford said．But，he added，it was possible．"Yes，society is changing，but the iPhone is only six years old，and those changes aren't set in place．"Given the overwhelming response to Ms．deGuzman's video，people are at least thinking about those changes．Ms．deGuzman said，"I still have my phone with me，but I try to leave it in my purse．Now I find myself just living in the moment，and I don't have to post pictures on the Internet．"65．The video"I Forgot My Phone"is used to．A．entertain readersB．reflect a social phenomenonC．show Ms．deGuzman's popularityD．describe a person's ordinary day66．What did the author think of Ms．deGuzman's video？A．It was an escape from reality．B．It was a commercial success．C．It was ridiculous．D．It was upsetting．67．The underlined part"smartphone﹣obsessed culture"in Paragraph 3 refers to a culture in which．A．people become slaves to smartphonesB．there is a rising market in smartphonesC．people change their smartphones frequentlyD．smartphones are easily available to everybody68．Examples in paragraph 5 are mentioned to show that．A．people nowadays are more willing to share through mobile devices．B．many people are becoming aware of the problem brought by smartphones．C．people nowadays are more likely to get distracted by their surroundings．D．live shows and restaurants have captured the lion's share of the US market．69．What can we infer from the last but one paragraph？A．Silicon Valley's entire concept is outdated．B．Dining in attractive surroundings is a great pleasure．C．Changes in attitudes to smartphones are on the way．D．The iPhone will hold the largest share of the smartphone market．70．What would be the best title for the passage？A．Enjoying Your Life by Living It in a Simple WayB．Be Sensitive to Changes Happening in Your LifeC．Video the Important Moment with Your PhonesD．Live in the Moment Without Your Phones第四部分单词拼写（共10小题，每小题0.5分，满分5分）请根据所给汉语或首字母写出空缺处单词的适当形式，使句子完整，语法正确，每空只填一个单词．71．（.5分）Thousands of soldiers are working to（分配）food and blankets to the refugees．72．（.5分）I（最终）realized I had to change my

blood pressure is defined as 140mmHg over 90mmHg，and for years ，doctors have used that measure as the threshold for prescribing anti﹣hypertensive drugs．But based on new recommendations，adults who are 60 or older can wait until their readings reach 150 over 90 or above to begin medication．After reviewing available evidence on the effects of blood pressure treatments，the Institute of Medicine's Eighth Joint National Committee （JNC 8）concluded that aggressive treatment can lead to lightheadedness，falls and fainting in elderly populations 一so they advised loosening the guidelines for starting medication．But days after the guidelines were published，heart experts raised concerns about how the advice would affect patients；inadequately controlled blood pressure is a risk factor for heart attack and stroke．Members of the JNC8 who voted against the recommendations published an editorial in the Annals of Internal Medicine outlining their reasons for opposing the change．"We，the panel minority，believed that evidence was insufficient to increase the target goal from its current level because increasing the goal may cause harm by increasing the risk for CVD （心血管疾病）and partially undoing the remarkable progress in reducing cardiovascular mortality in Americans older than 60，" they wrote．Dr．Suzanne Steinbaum said she has not changed the way she treats her patients over 60．She says，"As a preventive cardiologist （心脏病学家），these new guidelines have made me crazy．What we have learned is that blood pressure treatment even for a patient above 80 has been shown to be critical．It goes against everything we know as cardiologists．"Defending the panel's decision，Dr．Paul A．James，co﹣chairman of the guidelinescommittee，said in an email to TIME，"I can assure you that the panel discussed the opinions of the minority members on three different occasions and the majority were not persuaded that the expert skills of a few members should override the scientific evidence．"James said that as with any medications，doctors wilt use the blood pressure recommendations as guidelines，and prescribe drugs based on their evaluation of each patient．"Medications prescribed by physicians all have the potential to be dangerous，"he wrote．"Educating doctors about the scientific evidence will help doctors make better decisions with patients．Physicians who practice on the basis of scientific evidence usually subscribe to simple rule 一if the medicine cannot be shown to help the patient，then the medicine should not be prescribed．"The editorial isn't likely to change them any time soon．But the concerns should urge doctors to monitor their patients more closely and tailor medications and their doses more carefully．（95）（96）（97）（98）（99）（100）（101）（102）（103）（104）第八部分书面表达（共1题，满分15分）56．（15分）1、如图描述了两条鱼寻找新水源的情景．请根据你对这幅图的理解用英语写一篇短文．你的短文应包括以下内容：1．简要描述该图片的内容；2．谈谈你对这幅图的理解；3．结合自身实际谈谈如何保护水资源．注意：1．可参照图片适当发挥；2．作文词数150左右；3．作文中不得提及有关考生个人身份的任何信息，如校名、人名等．2016-2017学年江苏省南通市启东市高二（下）期末英语试卷答案与解析第一部分听力第二部分英语知识运用（共两节）第一节单项填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）请认真阅读下面各题，从题中所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸（卡）上将该项涂黑．21．（1分）﹣Why

江苏省南通市区2024-2025学年高二10月月考英语试卷
江苏省南通市区2024-2025学年高二10月月考英语试卷一、阅读理解Looking to inspire curious young minds? These are some of the best popular science books for children, which should keep the young minds full of ideas long into the future.Amazing JellyfishThis book includes plenty of impressive facts. The first-person style of the author helps to keep the attention of young readers, by including personal stories and avoiding all pages of words. Each part is divided into detailed drawings and valuable information. The book has fun jokes about jellyfish, a maze (迷宫) with sea trash, and more.A Brief History of StuffDK has chosen a mix of many different things for this unique book. From baby bottles to pens, there isn’t much of a logical (合乎逻辑的) path or timeline, making it a great book for kids of all ages. Seeing a list of everyday items such as a pot or a fridge, you realize how little you know about the stories behind them. This book has all the information you need about their beginnings and impact on society.A Kid’s Guide to the Night SkyThe night sky is filled with countless astronomical objects to explore and this book does its best to introduce a wide variety of them to children. The life cycle of stars and light pollution are just a few of the topics that the book introduces to its audience. It also takes a deep div e into each of the solar system’s planets and some of the amazing technology that’s working to find out more about them.Radar (雷达) and the RaftThe story of radar, along with the inventors and contributing scientists, comes together in this book about the technology’s development and lifesaving uses. By connecting the story of the Bell family’s near-death experience at sea with the story of radar’s discovery, the author has produced an interesting and informative storyline.1．What is a main feature of Amazing Jellyfish?A．Using a strictly scientific style.B．Presenting a clear timeline of events.C．Focusing on fun games about sea life.D．Matching the text and the picture well. 2．How do readers probably perceive A Brief History of Steff?A．A collection of famous speeches.B．An introduction to historical heroes.C．A guide to exploring common objects.D．A handbook on starting interest clubs. 3．Which book best suits young enthusiasts for astronomy?A．Amazing Jellyfish.B．Radar and the Raft.C．A Brief History of Stuff.D．A Kid’s Guide to the Night Sky.How would you feel if your child were being tutored by a robot? It’s believed that social robots could become as common as paper and whiteboards in schools. Those robots have been used to read stories to preschool students in Singapore, help 12-year-olds in Iran learn English and improve handwriting among young children in Switzerland.As a professor of education, I study the different ways that teachers worldwide do their jobs. To understand how social robots could affect teaching, I introduced a robot called “Pepper” into a public elementary and middle school in the U. S. and found many problems with the current generation of social robots.To get the robot to perform, our students had to master the directions that came with the robot. Some students quickly figured out that the robot could respond only to certain basic routines. They kept trying to interact with the robot as if it were a person but got very frustrated with its nonhuman responses. When a robot failed to answer a question, or responded in the wrong way, students realized the robot wasn’t really understanding them and that the robot’s dialogue was preprogrammed.Also, I have found that these are not limited to school settings. Service robots in some health care facilities have been programmed to deliver medicine, but this requires special sensors and programming. Stores and restaurants are experimenting with delivery and cleaning robots. But when a grocery store in Scotland tried to use “Pepper” for customer interactions, the robot was fired after a week.While the social robots currently used in schools are limited in functions, they can still provide useful learning experiences. Students can use them to learn more about robotics and artificial intelligence. Struggling with a robot’s limitations gives students real insights into thecomplicated nature of human social interaction. The opportunity to do hands-on work with a social robot shows students how difficult it is to program robots to copy human behavior. As AI becomes a bigger part of our work and lives, we need to teach students to think critically about what it means to live and work with social machines.4．What phenomenon is described at the beginning of the text?A．The global differences in educational approachesB．The transformative impact of robots on education.C．The adoption of social robots in classrooms worldwide.D．The innovative achievements in science and technology.5．How do students find their interaction with social robots?A．Amusing and engagıng.B．Challenging but beneficial.C．Ineffective and disappointing.D．Satisfying but time-consuming.6．What does the author want to show by mentioning the examples in paragraph 4?A．Robotics still has room for improvement.B．Technology has changed the way we workC．Many fields are open to experimenting with robots.D．Robots might pose a threat to people’s employment.7．What can students learn by interacting with limited-function social robots in schools?A．To master communication skills.B．To get some hands-on experience.C．To strengthen the sense of mission.D．To improve critical thinking ability.For many of us, online shopping has made the process of purchasing goods a far simpler and more convenient process. No longer do we have to head to shops to browse through various objects, wandering round endless shelves, before finally setting for the first thing we saw. These days, we find the item we want or need online, click on it, and check out its description and, most importantly, its user reviews. If it fits the bill, we send it to our basket and pay.There seems to be a wealth of options at our fingertips. But how do we know the options that pop up in front of us really are the best deals, and how might algorithms (算法) help or hold us back?Algorithms, simply put, are mathematical instructions which tell a computer how to solveproblems. When shopping is involved, what is the problem they solve? Well, they instruct a computer which advertisements to show and which products a user is most likely to buy. By analyzing the things we bought or looked at previously algorithms can predict what goods we’re most likely to be attracted by.For some people, the idea of something guessing your preferences could sound a bit worrying. But first, let’s look at the positives. By telling a computer to show us what we are interested in, it can not only save us a lot of time, but also help us find the best deals. However, there are some people who have concerns about the impact of algorithms on our shopping experience. It is possible that algorithms may only select options from a limited number of brands, or may favour products from certain companies. There are also concerns that we aren’t always shown the cheapest or best deal, even though that’s what we’re searching for.So, the takeaway from this is that algorithms are here to stay, and it’s wise to know they exist. Whenever you are shopping, be it online or off, make sure you shop around for the best deals. The first thing you see might not always be the best for you.8．What is the main factor that leads you to buy the product online immediately?A．The reasonable price.B．Salesgirls’ description.C．Customers’ comments.D．The convenient delivery.9．How do algorithms help customers find their favourite goods?A．The previous consuming records.B．The most advertisements they see.C．The frequency of visiting the store.D．The amount of money they spend. 10．What does the author think of algorithms used for online shopping?A．Doubtful.B．Beneficial.C．Negative.D．Worrying. 11．Which message does the author want to convey in the last paragraph?A．Many hands make light work.B．Actions speak louder than words.C．Only the feet tell if the shoes fit.D．Only comparing can see the gap.At a park in one of the world’s most polluted cities, a filtration (过滤) “tower” has been quietly cleaning the surrounding air since last summer. Called Verto, the device filters 600,000 cubic meters of air a day in New Delhi’s Sunder Nursery.Filtration towers were designed by architecture firm Studio Symbiosis. The firm’sco-founders, Amit Gupta and Britta Knobel Gupta, say their fan-powered devices can clean the air within a radius (半径) of 200 to 500 meters in some spaces, depending on wind speed and how open the surroundings are. “I think the towers can also be installed in public parks and squares, where people spend quality outdoor time,” Britta said, adding that installing (安装) the towers in spots where homeless people sleep might also be very beneficial.In 2019 alone, air pollution is thought to have caused nearly 1.6 million deaths in India, according to a study in medical journal The Lancet. New Delhi is regularly covered with smog, with vehicle emissions, crop-burning, and coal-fired power plants all contributing to the city’s bad air quality.In addition to the direct impact of pollution, the resulting climate change has caused heat waves that have killed more than 24,000 people in the country since 1992, according to a study published by the University of Cambridge.Amit estimated that maybe 100 of the towers would be required to filter the air across central New Delhi, though further research and a “full-scale model” would be required to calculate more figures. The devices are also designed to be easily transported, with the hope that they can be adopted on a larger scale.The filters, which need to be changed every three to nine months, are partly recyclable. Noise generated by the towers is, at a maximum of 75 decibels, similar to that of a standard kitchen exhaust fan (排风扇). To reduce Verto’s environmental impact, Studio Symbıosis installed energy-efficient smart fans that vary according to local conditions, slowing down when pollution is low, or when strong winds provide natural air flow.12．Which factor can improve the work efficiency of filtration tower?A．The height of tower.B．The surrounding people.C．The design of fans.D．The strength of wind.13．What is mainly discussed in Paragraphs 3 and 4?A．The death number in India since 1992.B．The consequence of climate change.C．The cause and effect of air pollution.D．The process of heat wave generation. 14．What is the striking feature of Verto?A．Cost-effective.B．Uniquely-designed.C．Eco-friendly.D．Completely-recycled15．What is the best title for the text?A．The air cleaning tower in India B．The bad air quality in New DelhiC．The filtration tower’s global trend D．Smart fans’ environmental purposeAppreciating art can be a rewarding experience. But it can also be confusing if you’re not sure where to start. Here are a few tips to help you get the most out of your art appreciation journey.One of the most important things to remember when looking at art is to approach it with an open mind. 16 Instead, allow yourself to experience the art work on its own terms and see what emotions or thoughts it awakens in you.When you first encounter a piece of art, take a few moments to look at it. Notice the colors, lines, shapes, and materials. 17 If you’re looking at a painting, try to identify the brushwork and how it contributes to the artistic effect of the piece.18 Thinking about the situation in which a piece was created can help you better understand and appreciate the work. For example, if you’re looking at a piece of art from the 19th century, it can be helpful to learn about the artistic movements and social issues that were common at the time.The medium in which a piece of art is created can have a significant impact on the final product. 19 Understanding the properties and limitations of different mediums can help you appreciate the technical skills and choices of the artist.If you’re looking at art in a museum or gallery, there may be a staff member available to answer your questions. Don’t be afraid to ask for more information. If you’re looking at art online or in a book, try to find out more about the work through research. 20A．Many works of art convey a deeper meaning.B．You can also turn to a professional about the subject.C．Try not to assume what the artist was trying to express.D．The key to appreciating art is to approach it with curiosity.E．Observe how the various elements of the artwork are arranged.F．Art is often created within a specific historical, or cultural context.G．A sculpture made of metal has a different feel from an oil painting.二、完形填空The town of North Rustico is a homey sort of place. Neighbors there are always sure to 21 one another as they go about their day. And that 22 of friendliness is apparently infectious.One day, local resident Lisa Sandoval was walking near the waterfront when she realized somebody was 23 to her. “I heard ‘Hello! Hello!’” Sandoval said. “I turned around and there wasn’t even a 24 . Then I heard the 25 again. I got a little 26 , and thought I must be hearing things.”It was then that Sandoval noticed only a crow (乌鸦) nearby. “I stopped and said, ‘Hello?’”27 , he answered me back, “Hello!”Sandoval later came to learn that she wasn’t the only one in town to have 28 the talking crow. The story goes that years earlier the bird had been found injured as a baby and 29 by an elderly man living nearby, who often spoke to him during his 30 . “That bird had learned to say hello and had been let go free after regaining his health,” Sandoval said. A few months after their 31 meeting, Sandoval ran into the talking crow again.Crows, much like parrots, are indeed 32 of learning to mimic human language. So, if the story of his 33 is true, his vocalizations (说出的话) may very well 34 the voice of the elderly man who’d saved him. “He passed away years ago,” Sandoval said, but his legacy (遗产) 35 in the friendly, feathered bird. 21．A．understand B．greet C．attract D．remember 22．A．chance B．principle C．sense D．demand 23．A．pointing B．speaking C．responding D．appealing 24．A．soul B．signal C．choice D．change 25．A．answer B．rhythm C．warning D．voice 26．A．confused B．bored C．messy D．guilty 27．A．Gradually B．Carelessly C．Incredibly D．Accidentally 28．A．attended B．adopted C．encountered D．expected 29．A．introduced B．nursed C．grabbed D．accepted30．A．residence B．flight C．absence D．recovery 31．A．initial B．regular C．casual D．private 32．A．aware B．proud C．capable D．ignorant 33．A．origin B．talent C．injury D．departure 34．A．raise B．reflect C．protect D．replace 35．A．sets off B．gives up C．backs down D．lives on三、语法填空阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Actually, some people are late not deliberately but because they misunderstand others’opinions or pay too much attention to details.As we all now, frequent lateness will have negative effects on one’s daily life. On the one hand, unpunctual people tend to leave a bad impression on those who have made the appointment with them. Others usually regard being punctual as a sign of eeping the promise. On the other hand, lateness sometimes brings about much trouble in solving urgent problems.As for those who are unintentionally late, lie Johnson and Joanna, I have two suggestions as follows. First, whenever you mae appointments with others, mae sure you have understood all the details and try to get there a few minutes before the appointed time. Second, mae good preparations for the appointments but never become too particular about every detail.附-1—评分标准1．本题总分为25分，按5个档次给分。
