新高考英语试题的命题以考查学生核心素养为中心，以语篇话题为引领，不断创设命题的新情境，避免学生形成定式思维，屏蔽教师让学生背模板的死板应试思维和方法。

培养创新型人才是教育的重要任务，选拔创新人才也是高考重要的目的。“创新”将成为新高考命题的重要方向。阅读理解A篇，以“为全球问题制定富有想象力的解决方案的项目”为命题情境，潜移默化地培养学生的创新能力和思想，体现了高考选拔创新人才的命题思路。摒弃了阅读A必须考查生活应用文的固化思想。

新高考反对“固化的命题模式”，将以灵活的命题素材和情境，体现高考灵活性。阅读填空“7选5”常以说明文进行命题，但为避免“新八股”的教条模式，记叙文出现的可能性也比较大。例如本卷中的阅读七选五。

科学技术的发展是创新的具体体现，也是增强民族自豪感的事实依据。因此，科技发展的成果有可能出现在语法填空中。例如本卷中的语法填空。

学业水平考试的是高中生的毕业考试，高考是国家选拔创新人才的考试。学考和高考分开考的目的很明确。高考就是选拔性考试，通过高考英语试题，考查学生的推理判断能力和逻辑思维能力及品质是重要导向。

通过阅读理解中，预测后文发展的推理判断题是最具挑战性的推理题，在新高考命题中很可能会出现。判断依据是：我们中学课本中每个单元都有这样的阅读预测Predict what the text will be about。因此，预测文章走势的推理判断题，有可能出现在高考中。例如，本卷中的阅读理解B中的27．What would be probably the content of the paragraph that follows?

2023年高考命题中“弘扬优秀传统文化，用英语讲好中国故事”依然是很重要的话题，预测2023年新高考地区将以语法填空和应用文写作的形式进行考查，语法填空的可能性较大，难度中等偏下，例如中的应用文写作。

One September night a family had gathered round their fireplace. Up the chimney roared the fire, and brightened the room with its broad flames. The faces of the father and mother had a sober gladness; the children laughed; and the aged grandmother sat knitting in the warmest place. This family of mountaineers was situated in the Notch of the White Hills, where the wind was sharp throughout the year, and pitilessly cold in the winter. Not just that, but a mountain towered above their heads, so steep, that the stones would often roll down its sides and wake the whole house at midnight.

Though they lived in such a remote place, these people held daily conversation with the world. Some travelers, would pause here and pay only for food and accommodation, but meet with a homely kindness beyond all price. When the footsteps were heard, therefore, between the outer door and the inner one, the whole family rose up, grandmother, children, and all, as if about to welcome someone who belonged to them, and whose fate was linked with theirs.

The door was opened by a young man. His face at first wore the sad expression, almost hopelessness, but soon brightened up when he saw the kindly warmth of his reception. He felt his heart spring forward to meet them all, from the old woman, who wiped a chair with her apron, to the little child that held out its arms to him.

“Ah, this fire is the right thing!” cried he, “The biting wind almost froze me. But when I saw this good fire, and all your cheerful faces, I felt as if you were waiting for my arrival. So I shall sit down, and make myself at home.”

After supper, the young man talked freely, feeling himself a member of the family. He was of a proud, yet lonely spirit, so trusting others was not easy for him. However, that night, the educated youth poured out his heart before the simple mountaineers.

24．What can we learn about the family from the passage?

A．They charged travelers lot for food.

B．They were poor but hardworking.

C．They lived in a cold and dangerous spot.

D．They remained cut off from the world.

25．What might be the young man’s purpose to drop by the family?

A．To talk to the family. B．To seek shelter from cold.

C．To keep company with the family. D．To know about the mountain.

26．What was the main reason why the young man felt at ease?

A．The welcoming fire. B．The comfortable chair.

C．The delicious supper. D．The warmth of the family.

27．What would be probably the content of the paragraph that follows?

A．The mountain’s condition. B．The family’s life.

C．Mountaineers’ characters. D．The young man’s story.

C

How are you feeling today? Often when we ask people that question, they reply ‘not bad’, or ‘could be worse’. But what would make us feel ‘perfect’? Maybe we could live better by being healthier, less stressed, more motivated—but how?

Of course there are many ways of improving our mental health, but sometimes there are small and simple solutions to helping improve our wellbeing. It’s something the TV programme Easy Ways to Live Well has been looking at. It suggested several ‘health hacks’ which the programme’s presenters tried and gave their ‘seal of approval’. And maybe they could help us too.

Firstly, to deal with putting on weight and to cut the calories, the programme found sniffing (嗅) peppermint (薄荷) stops our longing for a snack. Presenter, chef and writer Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall says “a scientific theory called ‘mutual competition’ shows that a strong smell can distract our brain from the food we’re thinking about.”

If your addiction to your smartphone is getting you down, it’s suggested that turning your phone screen grey helps you reduce screen time because a black and white screen becomes less attractive to look at. With recent studies showing our phones can make us 26% less productive and increase our stress, it seems like a no-brainer to try this ‘dim’ idea.

Fancy a swim in ice-cold water? Well, the TV programme found a daily dip in freezing water gets you used to the stress of doing it and therefore prepares you for other life stresses. And another way to ‘chill out’ is to leave your smartphone at home, immerse yourself in a forest, and breathe in the fresh air. Forest bathing is the perfect tonic for the stresses of urban life.

Other life-improving ideas included things such as singing to reduce pain and walking around more to get away from our sedentary (久坐不动) lives. But whatever way we choose to adopt, it seems any change to our lifestyle can help improve our body and mind.

28．What’s the function of a series of questions in the first paragraph?

A．To provide more background information. B．To provoke thinking and bring out the topic.

C．To expect readers can give specific answers. D．To attract readers to focus on physical health.

29．What’s the author’s attitude towards the TV programme Easy Ways to Live Well?

A．Favorable. B．Unclear. C．Negative. D．Critical.

30．Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?

A．The strong smell of peppermint is bound to cut the calories.

B．To remove life stresses, you must have a swim in freezing water.

C．Making the phone screen colorful makes us more focused and efficient.

D．An ice-water swim and forest bathing have the similar effect on stresses.

31．What’s the purpose of the passage?

A．To tell readers how to be perfect. B．To introduce a popular TV programme.

C．To offer some ways to better well-being. D．To get rid of some bad habits in daily life.

D

People often call music a universal language, but do certain songs really cause the same mental images in our minds? Scientists at Princeton find that while music absolutely can stimulate(激发)similar mental experiences, the results also strongly suggest culture is a major factor.

A total of 622 people took part in the study. All of the volunteers came from one of three locations: two suburban college towns in the US (one in Arkansas and the other in Michigan), or the rural Chinese village of Dimen. It’s worth noting that the main language in Dimen is Dong, a tonal language unrelated to the official language of China. Locals there have little contact with Western media or culture at all. All participants listened to the exact same 32 “musical stimuli”— which were 60-second cuts of instrumental music. Half of these pieces came from Western music while the rest came from Chinese music.

After hearing, researchers asked the groups about the images they saw in their heads while listening. Incredibly, people from Arkansas and Michigan often described very similar stories, even using the exact same words frequently. Dimen listeners, on the other hand, envisioned stories that were similar to each other but quite different from the American listeners. More specifically, one track led t o Americans seeing a cowboy in the hot desert surveying an empty town. Meanwhile, Chinese participants imagined a man in ancient times reflecting on the loss of a loved one.

“There’s something about the results that’s really surprising, especially because people encounter music in 2022 often in a solitary way, over headphones. But it turns out, it’s still a shared experience, almost like a shred dream, although not universally shared, ”says Elizabeth Margulis, the study author.

The results paint a more complex picture of music’s power. Music can generate remarkably similar stories in listeners’ minds, but it depends on a common set of cultural experiences. So while we imagine music can bring people together, the opposite can also be true-it can distinguish between sets of people with a different background or culture.

32．What is the probable reason for Dimen being selected for the study?

A．Its unique cultural background. B．Its close contact with US.

C．Its complex language system. D．Its long tradition of music.

33．What were the participants required to do after listening to music?

A．Exchange their comments on the scene.

B．Imagine musicians’ original inspiration.

C．Describe the picture forming in mind.

D．Recall personal music-related stories.

34．Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “solitary” in paragraph 4?

A．Strange. B．Individual. C．Outdated. D．Polite.

35．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

A．Unbelievable? Music’s Effects Go beyond Cultures

B．Problem Solved! How Music Brings Us All Together

C．Amazing! Cultures Determine Our Preference for Music

D．Universal Language? Culture Matters When We Hear Music

My husband and I enjoy seeing life through the eyes of our children. It’s amazing to watch as they discover their world.

While we were outdoors last summer enjoying the sunshine, our oldest daughter, Kaytlin, called me to the doorway. Beneath the steps was a baby red squirrel.

We watched it from a distance, not wanting to disturb it or scare off its mother. But after a long wait – and looking all around our house for signs of a nest or a mother – we realized the tiny squirrel was lost.

Shaking terribly, he was weak, thin, and hungry. We tried to find an expert to help, but the Inland Fisheries and Wildlife website showed that there were no wildlife experts in our area. After some quick research, we concluded that the best way to give the squirrel a fighting chance was to care for him ourselves. So a trip to the local store for milk and supplies was in order.

More research taught us how much to feed him, how to estimate his age, how and when to wean (断奶) him, and that we should let him go as soon as he could survive on his own.

Our daughters and I took turns in feeding “Squirt.” Kaytlin took on the most responsibility. She taught him to eat from a bottle, and she woke in the night for his feeds.

To our relief, Squirt soon became healthy and strong. Within a few weeks he became more active. He would chatter (吱吱叫) for his next meal, playfully go around the girls, and lie down on them for sleep. It wasn’t long before he was weaned onto solid food and reintroduced to the wild.

His first few visits to the great outdoors were funny. Just like a child, he would play in the grass some and then run back to Kaytlin for safety. Soon she had him climbing trees and finding nest material.
