【导语】本文是篇记叙文。文章描述了一名教授为学生准备了一次特别的考试，借助这次考试，他教育学生不要总是关注生活中负面的东西，要多看看自己所拥有的美好生活，珍惜并享受生活带来的幸福。
41．考查副词词义辨析。句意：他们都在课桌前焦急地等待考试开始。A. happily高兴地；B. guiltily内疚地；C. anxiously焦急地、忧虑地；D. lazily懒惰地。根据上一句“and asked his students to prepare for a surprise test”可知，这次考试是一次突击考试，学生们应该没有做好准备，所以心情是焦虑的。故选C。
42．考查动词短语词义辨析。句意：教授像往常一样把试卷正面朝下发下去。A. handed out分发；B. carried out贯彻、执行；C. left out遗漏、不考虑；D. put out扑灭、熄灭。根据下一句“Once he handed them all out”并结合句意，可知教授是把卷子发给学生。故选A。

44．考查代词词义辨析。句意：让所有人惊讶的是，没有问题——只有一个黑点在卷子中间。A. some一些；B. any任何；C. many许多；D. no没有。根据本句句意，整张试卷只有一个黑点在中间，说明卷子中没有提出任何要回答的问题。故选D。
45．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：学生们很困惑，开始做这个特别的任务。A. sad伤心的；B. confused困惑的；C. angry生气的；D. fun有趣的。根据前文“To everyone’s surprise”可知，学生们看到这张和平时完全不同的试卷时是很惊讶的，所以在开始完成试卷时也是很困惑的。故选B。
46．考查名词词义辨析。句意：他们所有人无一例外地描述了那个黑点，试图解释它在卷子中央的位置。A. expectation期待、期盼；B. surprise惊讶；C. exception例外；D. doubt怀疑。根据句中“All of them”可知，是每个学生都如此，没有例外。故选C。
47．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：读完了所有的试卷，教室里一片寂静，教授开始解释道：“我不打算给你打分，我只是想给你一些思考。没有人写关于试卷白色的部分。”A. bright明亮的；B. noisy嘈杂的；C. crowded拥挤的；D. silent沉默的、寂静的。根据上一句“All of them, without exception, described the black dot ”可知，所有学生都给出了同样的答题方式，此时他们不确定这种方式是对还是错，都在等着教授的点评，所以应该没有人说话，非常安静。故选D。
48．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：读完了所有的试卷，教室里一片寂静，教授开始解释道：“我不打算给你打分，我只是想给你一些思考。没有人写关于试卷白色的部分。”A. black黑色的；B. central中间的；C. white白色的；D. most大部分的。根据前文“All of them, without exception, described the black dot ”可知，所有学生都在写关于小黑点的内容，没有人去描写关于黑点之外白色的那部分。故选C。
49．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：每个人都关注着那个黑点——同样的事情也会发生在我们的生活中。A. different不同的；B. same相同的；C. difficult困难的；D. easy容易的。根据下一句“we insist on focusing only on the black dot — the health issues that trouble us, the lack of  11 , the complicated (复杂的) friendship with a family member, the disappointment with a friend. ”可知，破折号后列举的都是我们生活中有可能发生的事情，解释说明了破折号前的“the black dot”在生活中也有可能发生同样的情况。故选B。
50．考查副词词义辨析。句意：然而，我们坚持只关注小黑点——困扰我们的健康问题、缺钱、与家庭成员的复杂友谊和对朋友的失望。A. However然而；B. Therefore所以；C. Thus因此；D. Moreover 而且。根据上一句“Everyone focused on the black dot — and the 9 thing happens in our lives.”可知，人们的现状是都在关注小黑点（即生活中不好的事情），然而人们依旧这么做，这里表达的是一种转折关系。故选A。

52．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：与我们生活中所拥有的一切相比，这些暗点是微不足道的，但是它们却是那些污染我们思想的东西。A. great伟大的、大的；B. tiny极小的、微小的；C. big大的；D. important重要的。根据前文“ a black dot in the center of the paper”可知，生活中的这些暗点就像试卷中间的这个小黑点一样，与整张试卷相比是极小的，所以它们与我们生活中所拥有的东西相比也是微不足道的。故选B。
53．考查动词词义辨析。句意：与我们生活中所拥有的一切相比，这些暗点是微不足道的，但是它们却是那些污染我们思想的东西。A. pollute污染；B. create创造；C. relax放松；D. help帮助。由“but”可知，句意与上一句“The dark spots are very tiny when compared to everything we have in our lives”是转折关系，所以虽然这些暗点微不足道，但是也会对我们的思想有害处，“pollute”符合语境。故选A。
54．考查动词词义辨析。句意：把你的眼睛从你生活中的黑点上移开。A. Drive开车；B. Put放置；C. Take拿走、取， D. Bring带来。根据上一句“but they are the ones that pollute our minds”可知，教授认为这些黑点对我们的思想有害处，所以让人们把目光从这些黑点上移开。故选C。
55．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：要快乐，要过充满爱的生活! A. healthy健康的；B. generous慷慨的；C. lovely可爱的；D. happy快乐的、幸福的。根据上一句“Enjoy each one of your blessings, each moment that life gives you.”可知，教授希望大家能够享受生活中所拥有的美好的东西；结合本句中“live a life filled with love”，这里应该是让大家快乐生活。故选D。

（陕西省西安市陕西师范大学附属中学2022-2023学年高一上学期期中考试）
Plan a Budget-Friendly (省钱的) Summer Vacation
It’s never too early to start thinking about your summer vacation. Deciding where to go and what attractions to see can actually be a fun and exciting part of the experience—particularly when you find ways to save your travel dollar.
16
Rethink your “summer vacation”.
If your summer vacation window is wide open, why not skip July and August? The flights and accommodations are about 25% cheaper in the spring or early fall. If you must travel during the busy season, you can still save by being flexible. 17 Flying out on a Tuesday instead of a Friday could save you a bit of money, and flying in the afternoon will likely be cheaper than a morning flight.
18
It’s always in your best interest to book your summer vacation early. If you plan on flying to your destination, for example, it will be much easier to find seats on your preferred flights if you book in March than if you were to wait until the last minute. The same applies to hotels, where prices are based on supply and demand.
Use the right websites.
There are a lot of websites competing for your travel dollar. 19 For example, when you make five reservations with Booking.com, you can have access to their “Genius Program” which gives you 10% off as well as early check-in and late check-out.
Consider a tour.
With so many places to see and things to do, planning a trip can wear you out quickly. 20 Seasoned tour operators, such as Trafalgar, take the stress out of travel so all you have to do is show up and enjoy yourself. More importantly, a guided vacation represents a significant saving.
A．Plan your flights.
B．Book in advance.
C．In that case, a tour is a fantastic choice.

【答案】16．G 17．F 18．B 19．E 20．C
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了计划一个预算有利的暑假的一些方法。
16．根据前文“Deciding where to go and what attractions to see can actually be a fun and exciting part of the experience—particularly when you find ways to save your travel dollar.”(决定去哪里和去看什么景点实际上可以是一个有趣和令人兴奋的经验的一部分——特别是当你找到节省旅行费用的方法。)可知当你找到节省旅行费用的方法时，度假就会变得有趣并令人兴奋，同时根据下文的几个黑体字可知，下文提到了省钱的技巧。因此空处应承接前文，讲述以下就是一些省钱的方法。选项G.“Here are tips to plan a summer vacation within your budget.”(这里有一些在你的预算范围内计划一个暑假的建议。)切题，故选G。
17．根据前文“If you must travel during the busy season, you can still save by being flexible.”(如果你必须在繁忙季节旅行，灵活一点还是可以省钱的。)下文“Flying out on a Tuesday instead of a Friday could save you a bit of money, and flying in the afternoon will likely be cheaper than a morning flight.”(在星期二而不是星期五飞行可以为你节省一点钱，而且下午的飞行可能比早上的飞行更便宜。)可知，选择非周末时间出行可以为你节省钱，同样乘坐下午飞机比早上的飞行更便宜。即我们选择乘坐飞机出行要选择人们不愿选择的时间可以省钱。选项F.“When booking flights, choose the least popular travel times.”(在预订机票时，选择最不受欢迎的旅行时间。)是对后文列举事例的总述，符合题意。故选F。
18．根据下文“It’s always in your best interest to book your summer vacation early. If you plan on flying to your destination, for example, it will be much easier to find seats on your preferred flights if you book in March than if you were to wait until the last minute.”(提前预定你的暑假总是对你最有利的。例如，如果你计划飞往目的地，那么如果你在三月份预订，比等到最后一分钟更容易找到你喜欢的航班座位。)举例说明提前预定航班的好处是可以让你更容易找到你喜欢的航班座位。因而，作为段落的标题句，应概括本段主旨，讲述要提前预定。选项B.“Book in advance.”(提前预定。)符合题意，故选B。
19．根据上文“There are a lot of websites competing for your travel dollar.”(有很多网站在竞争你的旅游收入。)可知多家网站在通过竞争想要争取到作为消费者的你。下文“For example, when you make five reservations with Booking.com, you can have access to their “Genius Program” which gives you 10% off as well as early check-in and late check-out.”(例如，当你在 Booking.com 预订了五个房间，你可以访问他们的“天才项目”，这个项目可以给你打九折，还可以提前登记和延迟退房。)举例说明在同一家网站上预定房间后，通过网站提供的优惠条件不但可以给你省钱，还可以提前登记和延迟退房。说明多家网站的竞争可以给消费者带来很多好处。选项E.“That competition has led to many benefits for travelers.”(这种竞争给旅行者带来了许多好处。)起到了承上启下的作用，选项中“That competition”指代前文的多家网站之间的竞争；“benefits for travelers”和下文提到的省钱、提前登记和延迟退房语义相符，故选E。
20．根据本段标题“Consider a tour.”(考虑一个旅行)可知本段讲述的内容应和旅行有关。下文“Seasoned tour operators, such as Trafalgar, take the stress out of travel so all you have to do is show up and enjoy yourself. ”(像Trafalgar这样经验丰富的旅游经营者，可以减轻旅行的压力，所以你要做的就是出席并享受旅行。)选项C.“In that case, a tour is a fantastic choice.”(这样的话，旅行是个很棒的选择。)选项中关键词“tour”和段落标题的关键词一致，同时也为下文讲述要享受旅行提供了依据。符合题意，故选C。
