While career quizzes explore your values and work style, aptitude tests provide a more objective evaluation of your skills, helping you select a career you’re most likely to succeed in. Below are some of the best aptitude tests out there. Clifton Strengths The Clifton Strengths program was created based on research around leadership. The research in question pointed to common strengths among successful leaders, like strategic thinking, adaptability and communication. To complete the test, you must answer around 150 questions, each within 20 seconds. Allen Cheung, a tech blogger, notes that CliftonStrengths is more valuable than your average career test because it includes “tricky questions which aren’t as easily gamed”. Red Bull Wingfinder Developed and tested out by psychology experts, the Red Bull Wingfinder assesses your thinking under pressure. Questions include image sorting, logic puzzles and leadership-related questions. Once you complete the test, you’ll receive a nine-page report and career coaching tailored to your results. SEI Development Report The SEI Development Report is an extensive EQ aptitude test that has timed right-and-wrong answers that assess eight fundamentals, including emotional literacy, emotional management and empathy. At the end, you’ll receive a 20-page report with recommended courses on workplace EQ development. CareerOneStop While it only takes a few minutes to complete, the CareerOneStop Skills Assessment will help you rank both your technical and soft skills. The career suggestions at the end can be sorted by relevance, annual wages, and job outlook, coupled with with professional coaching or consultation improve your skills. 1.

What is a unique feature of Clifton Strengths? A. It evaluates leadership skills. B. It is developed by experts. C. It includes challenging questions. D. It offers a comprehensive report. 3. Which test suits a job seeker who prefers categorized suggestions and career coaching? A. Clift on Strengths B. Red Bull Wingfinder C. SEI Development Report D. CareerOneStop 【答案】1. D 2. C 3. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。本文主要介绍和解释不同种类的能力倾向测试及其特点，为读者（尤其是求职者）提供关于如何通过这些测试来了解自身职业潜能的信息和建议。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段中“Aptitude tests are helpful to job seekers of all ages. While career quizzes explore your values and work style, aptitude tests provide a more objective evaluation of your skills, helping you select a career you’re most likely to succeed in. (能力倾向测试对所有年龄段的求职者都很有帮助。职业测验考察的是你的价值观和工作方式，而能力倾向测验则是对你的技能进行更客观的评估，帮助你选择最有可能成功的职业。)”可知，能力测试主要评估求职者的专业能力。故选D。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。由文章Clifton Strengths部分中“Allen Cheung, a tech blogger, notes that CliftonStrengths is more valuable than your average career test because it includes “tricky questions which aren’t as easily gamed”. (科技博客作者艾伦·张指出，CliftonStrengths比一般的职业测试更有价值，因为它包含了“不那么容易应付的棘手问题”。)”可知，克利夫顿优势的独特之处是其中包括具有挑战性的问题。故选C。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。由文章CareerOneStop部分中“The career suggestions at the end can be sorted by relevance, annual wages, and job outlook, coupled with with professional coaching or consultation improve your skills. (最后的职业建议可以根据相关度、年薪和工作前景进行分类，再加上专业的指导或咨询，可以提高你的技能。)”可知，CareerOneStop适合喜欢分类建议和职业指导的求职者。故选D。 B Fifteen-year-old Sansa has been writing for eight years and has been working on a book for the past four. Feeling stuck and unable to write, she started searching for writing groups in Los Angeles, looking for guidance. When she found WriteGirl, she was inspired. Keren Taylor started WriteGirl in 2001 as a way to help teen girls who did not have access to creative writing programs. “Teen girls are incredibly vulnerable (脆弱的) and invisible,” Taylor said. “They really need to be lifted up and inspired.” At WriteGirl, 400 women writers volunteer to mentor (指导) 700 teenagers a year. Every girl who has gone through the mentorship program has gone to college and several have pursued careers as professional writers. Through the program, girls dive into poetry, fiction, songwriting, play and so on, learning techniques from professional women writers. This leads to well-rounded training and sets WriteGirl apart from other organizations. A typical exercise at WriteGirl is mic and rant, a 30-second session before writing for each girl. As a vehicle for teens to get their ideas out, it empowers girls to explore anything meaningful to them. “Not the flowery language, or rather, complicated expressions that sound skillful, but more of the natural, this is what I’m thinking and what I’m feeling.” Taylor said. Sansa’s mentor Danyella Wilder is attracted by the long-term nature of mentoring at WriteGirl. Wilder wishes she had a program like this herself when she was 15. “To just have an organization where people are spending their time just to tell you, ‘Hey, good job,’ or ‘That was amazing.’ You’re at the age where you need to hear that.” 4. Why did Sansa join WriteGirl? A. To gain a sense of belonging. B. To overcome her writing block. C. To release negative emotions. D. To become a professional writer. 5. What makes WriteGirl different from other organizations? A. It aims to produce professional writers. B. It turns teen girls into mentors. C. It exposes girls to varied writing styles. D. It ensures girls’entry to college. 6. What does the “mic and rant” exercise in paragraph 4 refer to? A. A daily writing task. B. A recitation of poetry. C. A session for idea generation. D. A skillful expression activity. 7. What does Danyella Wilder imply in the last paragraph? A. Mentoring is a time-consuming process. B. Positive feedback is crucial for teen girls. C. Criticism at a young age can be harmful. D. Mentorship should be based on friendship. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了十五岁的珊莎已经写作八年了，过去四年一直在写一本书。她觉得自己被困住了，无法写作，于是开始在洛杉矶寻找写作小组，寻求指导。当她找到“写作女孩”时，她受到了启发。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Fifteen-year-old Sansa has been writing for eight years and has been working on a book for the past four. Feeling stuck and unable to write, she started searching for writing groups in Los Angeles, looking for guidance. When she found WriteGirl, she was inspired.”（十五岁的珊莎已经写作八年了，过去四年一直在写一本书。她觉得自己被困住了，无法写作，于是开始在洛杉矶寻找写作小组，寻求指导。当她找到“写作女孩”时，她受到了启发。）可推知，珊莎加入“写作女孩”是为了克服她的写作障碍。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Through the program, girls dive into poetry, fiction, songwriting, play and so on, learning techniques from professional women writers. This leads to well-rounded training and sets WriteGirl apart from other organizations.”（通过这个项目，女孩们深入到诗歌、小说、歌曲创作、戏剧等领域，向职业女作家学习技巧。这导致了全面的培训，并将“写作女孩”与其他组织区分开来。）可知，“写作女孩”与其他组织不同的是它让女孩们接触到不同的写作风格。故选C项。 【6题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第四段中“…a 30-second session before writing for each girl.”（在为每个女孩写作之前有30秒的时间。）以及“As a vehicle for teens to get their ideas out, it empowers girls to explore anything meaningful to them.”（作为青少年表达想法的工具，它使女孩们能够探索任何对她们有意义的事情。）由此可知，此处mic and rant指的是“产生想法的一段时间。”故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Wilder wishes she had a program like this herself when she was 15. “To just have an organization where people are spending their time just to tell you, ‘Hey, good job,’ or ‘That was amazing.’ You’re at the age where you need to hear that.””（Wilder希望自己15岁时也能有这样一个项目。“在一个组织里，人们花时间只是为了告诉你，‘嘿，干得好’或‘太棒了’。’你已经到了需要听到这句话的年纪了。”）可推知，Danyella Wilder在最后一段暗示了积极的反馈对十几岁的女孩来说至关重要。故选B项。 C It is William Shakespeare, the great coiner, who is given credit for the word. Coriolanus, one of his characters, compares going into exile (流放) to a “lonely dragon” retiring to his cave. He was talking about a physical state: someone who was lonely was simply alone. Then, thanks to the Romantic poets, the word took on emotional meanings. Loneliness became a condition of the soul. For William Wordsworth, who famously “wandered lonely as a cloud”, the natural world offered an escape from negative feelings of loneliness — a host of flowers could provide “cheerful company”. Today, loneliness is often seen as a serious public-health problem, creating the feeling of disconnection. In his book Solitude, Netta Weinstein, a psychology professor wonders the rewards of time spent alone. He begins with an account of stories of solitude created by figures such as Michel Montaigne, a writer, and Edward Hopper, a painter. Netta then draw on laboratory work, interviews and surveys to clarify how being alone really affects the human mind. It is common to treat loneliness and solitude as synonyms (同义词), but they are not. The author suggests that what is negatively described as one state can be positively expressed as the other. Loneliness, often perceived as negative, can potentially be transformed into a positive experience of solitude. To this end he emphasizes how being alone can help restore people and offers practical advice. In a noisy world, he argues, people should make time to be alone, away from attention-grabbing motives. The book’s interviewees mostly regard a lack of company as a contributor to autonomy. But this depends on whether solitude is desirable or not. Enforced solitude, such as that experienced by prisoners, typically leads to nothing but suffering. Elective solitude, by contrast, affords space for self-reflection. It can open the door to “peak experiences” such as wonder, harmony, and happiness. In a highly-connected digital age, however, many readers do not fancy their chances of ever taking a long enough break to have such experiences. 8. How does paragraph 1 introduce the concept of loneliness? A. By tracing its development. B. By analyzing causes. C. By making a point to be argued. D. By sharing a romantic story. 9. What does Netta Weinstein’s book Solitude focus on? A. The various terms of solitude. B. The societal impact of solitude. C. The long-standing history of solitude. D. The psychological benefits of solitude. 10. Netta describes the state of loneliness as __________. A. stressful B. essential C. changeable D. never beneficial 11. What does Netta most probably agree with according to the last paragraph? A. Enforced solitude is a matter of choice. B. Enforced solitude contributes to autonomy. C. Elective solitude is rare in the digital world. D. Elective solitude interrupts peak experiences. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章探讨了独处与孤独的区别，并强调独处对个人成长的重要性。通过历史人物的故事和科学研究，作者提倡在喧嚣世界中寻找独处时光，以恢复内心并享受自我反思的益处。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段“It is William Shakespeare, the great coiner, who is given credit for the word. Coriolanus, one of his characters, compares going into exile(流放) to a “lonely dragon” retiring to his cave. He was talking about a physical state: someone who was lonely was simply alone. Then, thanks to the Romantic poets, the word took on emotional meanings. Loneliness became a condition of the soul. For William Wordsworth, who famously “wandered lonely as a cloud”, the natural world offered an escape from negative feelings of loneliness—a host of flowers could provide “cheerful company”. Today, loneliness is often seen as a serious public-health problem, creating the feeling of disconnection. (这个词被认为是由伟大的造币者威廉·莎士比亚创造的。科里奥兰纳斯，他的角色之一，把流亡比作一条“孤独的龙”隐居在他的洞穴里。他说的是一种生理状态：孤独的人只是一个人。然后，感谢浪漫主义诗人，这个词有了情感意义。孤独成了灵魂的一种状态。对于以“像一朵云一样孤独地漫游”而闻名的威廉·华兹华斯来说，大自然提供了一种逃离消极孤独感的方式——一群花可以提供“愉快的陪伴”。如今，孤独常常被视为一个严重的公共健康问题，它会造成一种与外界脱节的感觉。)”可知，第一段通过回顾从莎士比亚最初使用“孤独”一词描述单纯的物理上的独处状态，到浪漫主义诗人将其含义扩展到心灵层面的过程，追溯了“孤独”概念的发展。故选A。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第二段“In his book Solitude, Netta Weinstein, a psychology professor wonders the rewards of time spent alone. He begins with an account of stories of solitude created by figures such as Michel Montaigne, a writer, and Edward Hopper, a painter. Netta then draw on laboratory work, interviews and surveys to clarify how being alone really affects the human mind. (心理学教授内塔·温斯坦在他的著作《孤独》中对独处时间的回报感到好奇。他首先讲述了作家蒙田和画家霍珀等人物创作的孤独故事。然后，内塔利用实验室工作、访谈和调查来阐明独处是如何真正影响人类思维的。)”可知，《孤独》一书着重探讨了独处时间对人心理的正面影响，通过历史人物的故事、实验室研究、访谈和调查数据来阐明独处如何真正作用于人的心理。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第三段中“Loneliness, often perceived as negative, can potentially be transformed into a positive experience of solitude. (孤独，通常被认为是消极的，可以潜在地转化为积极的孤独体验。)”可知，孤独的状态是可以改变的。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段中“Elective solitude, by contrast, affords space for self-reflection. It can open the door to “peak experiences” such as wonder, harmony, and happiness. In a highly-connected digital age, however, many readers do not fancy their chances of ever taking a long enough break to have such experiences. (相比之下，选择性的独处为自我反省提供了空间。它可以打开通往“高峰体验”的大门，比如惊奇、和谐和幸福。然而，在一个高度互联的数字时代，许多读者并不指望自己有机会休息足够长的时间来获得这样的体验。)”可知，Netta可能同意的一个观点是在高度互联的数字时代，许多读者认为自己不太可能有足够长的时间中断来体验“巅峰时刻”，暗示在这样的环境下，人们主动选择的、有利于自我反思的独处变得较为少见，即选择性独处在数字世界中是罕见的。故选C。 D Robots have long been drawing inspiration from animals, with the creation of robot dogs or snake-shaped robots. And yet, the field of robotics is far less enthusiastic about the other kind of living things — plants. Barbara Mazzolai, an Italian roboticist owes this to a misconception about plant behavior: that they cannot move or think. “It’s not true at all,” she says. To challenge this view, Dr Mazzolai and her team recently launched a machine called “FiloBot”, a robot based on a climbing species. To survive, a climbing plant must switch between several different behaviors. In forest environments, it must first grow out of the soil and travel along the ground in search of a support to hold onto, such as a nearby tree. Once a support is located, though, the plant fixes itself around the object and then growing towards the light. To choose the best angle to grow upwards, a climbing plant uses its shoots (芽) to receive information about light and gravity. FiloBot has sensors on its main shoot. It can 3D-print its body with plastic and grow at a controllable rate. These functions, researchers found, enabled FiloBot to cross gaps, and find things to attach to. The lack of heavy on-board computing device means that it is light and requires minimal care, while its slow pace means that it doesn’t disturb things around it, making it possible to move through a complex, unseen environment, or monitoring disaster sites. For now, FiloBot is still being tested. Its tendrils (卷须) have not left the laboratory. Still, it has already been employed in deconstructing plant behaviour. For example, it was long assumed that climbing plants find their supports by growing towards shade, though the exact mechanism was unclear. FiloBot could imitate this behaviour by detecting far-red light, which is typical of shaded areas, providing clues to how plants do it. Dr Mazzolai hopes that such projects will inspire other roboticists to take their cues from plants and develop completely new technologies. 12. What does the misconception about plants in the field of robotics focus on? A Their shapes. B. Their diversity. C. Their body language. D. Their capabilities. 13. What is an advantage of FiloBot? A. It moves quickly. B. It has a solid metal body. C. It adapts to different environment. D. It is attached to huge computers. 14. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The limitations of FiloBot. B. The current use of FiloBot. C. The components of FiloBot. D. The unique feature of FiloBot’s design. 15. Which of the following is a suitable title for this text? A. A Role Model for Robotics Research B. A Glimpse into the World of Robotics C. A Plant-Inspired Innovation in Robotics D. A Misunderstanding of the Plant Kingdom 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了Mazzolai博士和她的团队最近推出了一种名为“FiloBot”的机器，这是一种基于攀爬物种的机器人。Mazzolai博士希望这样的项目能激励其他机器人专家从植物中获得灵感，开发出全新的技术。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Robots have long been drawing inspiration from animals, with the creation of robot dogs or snake-shaped robots. And yet, the field of robotics is far less enthusiastic about the other kind of living things—plants. Barbara Mazzolai, an Italian roboticist owes this to a misconception about plant behavior: that they cannot move or think.”（长期以来，机器人一直从动物身上汲取灵感，出现了机器狗或蛇形机器人。然而，机器人领域对另一种生物——植物却远没有那么热情。意大利机器人专家芭芭拉·马佐莱(Barbara Mazzolai)认为，这是因为人们对植物行为有一种误解：它们不能移动或思考。）可知，在机器人领域对植物的误解集中在它们的能力。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The lack of heavy on-board computing device means that it is light and requires minimal care, while its slow pace means that it doesn’t disturb things around it, making it possible to move through a complex, unseen environment, or monitoring disaster sites.”（没有沉重的机载计算设备意味着它很轻，需要最少的护理，而它缓慢的速度意味着它不会干扰周围的东西，这使得它可以在复杂的、看不见的环境中移动，或者监测灾难现场。）可知，FiloBot的优势是它适应不同的环境。故选C项。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“For now, FiloBot is still being tested. Its tendrils(卷须) have not left the laboratory. Still, it has already been employed in deconstructing plant behaviour. For example, it was long assumed that climbing plants find their supports by growing towards shade, though the exact mechanism was unclear. FiloBot could imitate this behaviour by detecting far-red light, which is typical of shaded areas, providing clues to how plants do it.”（目前，FiloBot仍在测试中。它的卷须还没有离开实验室。尽管如此，它已经被用于解构植物的行为。例如，长期以来，人们一直认为攀缘植物是通过向阴凉处生长来获得支撑的，尽管确切的机制尚不清楚。FiloBot可以通过探测远红光来模仿这种行为，这是典型的阴影区域，为植物如何做到这一点提供线索。）可知，第四段的主要内容是FiloBot的当前使用情况。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段中“Barbara Mazzolai, an Italian roboticist owes this to a misconception about plant behavior: that they cannot move or think. “It’s not true at all,” she says. To challenge this view, Dr Mazzolai and her team recently launched a machine called “FiloBot”, a robot based on a climbing species.”（意大利机器人专家芭芭拉·马佐莱(Barbara Mazzolai)认为，这是因为人们对植物行为有一种误解:它们不能移动或思考。“这根本不是真的，”她说。为了挑战这一观点，Mazzolai博士和她的团队最近推出了一种名为“FiloBot”的机器，这是一种基于攀爬物种的机器人。）和最后一段“Dr Mazzolai hopes that such projects will inspire other roboticists to take their cues from plants and develop completely new technologies.”（Mazzolai博士希望这样的项目能激励其他机器人专家从植物中获得灵感，开发出全新的技术。）可知，文章主要讲的是长期以来，机器人一直从动物身上汲取灵感，出现了机器狗或蛇形机器人。然而，机器人领域对另一种生物——植物却远没有那么热情。Mazzolai博士和她的团队最近推出了一种名为“FiloBot”的机器，这是一种基于攀爬物种的机器人。Mazzolai博士希望这样的项目能激励其他机器人专家从植物中获得灵感，开发出全新的技术。由此可知，文章最适合的标题是“这是一种由植物启发的机器人创新项目”。故选C项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When did we start walking for leisure? “Going for a walk” is a popular pastime among older and younger generations alike because of its well-known benefits for our physical and mental health. But you may be surprised to hear that wandering through pretty streets or hiking in mountainous have not always been considered leisure activities, according to Daniel Gale, a researcher of pedestrianism (步行运动). ____16____ Before that, it was just something people did out of necessity, some of whom even associated it with criminal activity. But for Charles Dickens, the famous English 19th Century author, marching through London streets and tramping around the countryside was a big part of the creative process. ____17____ He walked at an impressive pace of four miles per hour, according to his biography by Peter Ackroyd. ____18____ Perhaps you can take inspiration from another big-thinking wanderer. 19th Century American writer Henry David Thoreau took a slower approach, preferring to stroll over hills and fields and through the woods. He said that he could not preserve his health and spirits without walking at least four hours a day. This idea of taking a stroll to clear your head has survived through to the 21st Century. But have pedestrian manners remained the same? A 1780 article for the London Magazine advised pedestrians to avoid things such as hanging around in conversation and obstructing people behind you. ____19____ In this modern age, when many of us are tied to our desks and to our screens, try the simple act of stepping out onto the city pavements, or getting lost in nature. ____20____ Whether you see yourself more as a casual stroller or a purposeful strider (阔步者), why not build a habit out of it? A. What if speed-walking isn’t your thing? B. This may make all the difference to our wellbeing. C. Nowadays, we could add distracted phone-users. D. He brought the recreation of walking into fashion. E. Going on an urban walk is much more pleasant now. F It was a time to absorb what was going on around him. G. In Britain, walking for fun wasn’t really a thing until the 1780s. 【答案】16. G 17. F 18. A 19. C 20. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了散步的历史以及好处。 【16题详解】 根据后文“Before that, it was just something people did out of necessity, some of whom even associated it with criminal activity.(在此之前，这只是人们出于需要而做的事情，有些人甚至把它与犯罪活动联系在一起)”可知，本句主要在说明散步流行起来的时间。故G选项“在英国，直到18世纪80年代，以散步为乐趣才真正成为一件事”符合语境，故选G。 【17题详解】 根据上文“But for Charles Dickens, the famous English 19th Century author, marching through London streets and tramping around the countryside was a big part of the creative process. (但对19世纪英国著名作家查尔斯·狄更斯来说，在伦敦街头游行、在乡间漫步是创作过程的重要组成部分)”可知，上文提到著名作家查尔斯·狄更斯喜欢创作的时候散步，故本句承接上文，说明这么做的原因。故F选项“这是一个吸收周围发生的事情的时候”符合语境，故选F。 【18题详解】 根据后文“Perhaps you can take inspiration from another big-thinking wanderer. 19th Century American writer Henry David Thoreau took a slower approach, preferring to stroll over hills and fields and through the woods. He said that he could not preserve his health and spirits without walking at least four hours a day.(也许你可以从另一个胸怀大志的流浪者身上得到启发。19世纪的美国作家亨利·大卫·梭罗采取了一种较慢的方式，他更喜欢在山丘、田野和树林里漫步。他说，如果每天不走至少四个小时，他就无法保持健康和精神)”可知，后文主要说明了漫步的放松方式，结合上一段“He walked at an impressive pace of four miles per hour, according to his biography by Peter Ackroyd.(根据彼得·阿克罗伊德的传记，他以每小时4英里的惊人速度行走)”提到了快速行走，故A选项“如果你不喜欢快走呢？”符合语境，故选A。 【19题详解】 根据上文“This idea of taking a stroll to clear your head has survived through to the 21st Century. But have pedestrian manners remained the same? A 1780 article for the London Magazine advised pedestrians to avoid things such as hanging around in conversation and obstructing people behind you.(通过散步来清醒头脑的想法一直延续到21世纪。但是，行人的举止还保持不变吗？1780年《伦敦杂志》上的一篇文章建议行人避免在谈话中徘徊或妨碍身后的人)”可知，本句与上文并列，都是在说明导致行人散步行为发生改变的情况，故C选项“现在，我们可以加上分心的电话用户”符合语境，故选C。 【20题详解】 根据上文“In this modern age, when many of us are tied to our desks and to our screens, try the simple act of stepping out onto the city pavements, or getting lost in nature.(在这个现代时代，当我们中的许多人都被束缚在办公桌和屏幕前时，试着走到城市的人行道上，或者迷失在大自然中)”以及后文“Whether you see yourself more as a casual stroller or a purposeful strider (阔步者), why not build a habit out of it?(无论你把自己看成是一个随意的漫步者还是一个有目的的步行者，为什么不养成一种习惯呢？)”可知，后文建议出去散步，可知本句是在说明散步的好处。故B选项“这可能会对我们的健康产生很大的影响”符合语境，故选B。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Sargassum is the smelly seaweed piling up on beaches across the Caribbean.

Training is less tiring than dealing with her and her feelings,” I complained. Jenny and I were co-captains of our cross-country team. We’d been training for the coming tournament (锦标赛) for weeks: stretching, running, and making the seven of us into a team. Jenny, with exceptional running talent, always had a way to get ahead of her competitors on the course. She also helped all of us run faster and cheered us on. It seemed that she was anticipating the final show. However, this week, her attitude shifted. She kept making excuses not to run with the team, from aching legs to headaches. I had to beg her, telling her repeatedly that the team couldn’t do without her. It went on all day and I was worn out. What’s her deal? Mom pulled into our driveway, and turned toward me, “Well, I know a little about Jenny. She and her little brother have been together in foster care (寄养家庭). So close were they that every time they moved, Jenny would say that as long as they were together, they had a family.” My heart sank as Mom continued, “Jenny’s stepfather (继父) came for her brother this week, with gifts, hugs and big plans for their future. But Jenny wasn’t even part of his big plans.” My chest felt tight. “Poor Jenny, not to have a family.” I was close to tears. My mother patted my knee. “That’s it, honey. You got it.” And I did. I decided that I should do something. I proposed that we organize a team gathering before the tournament. Each member was to write a heartfelt message for every teammate and prepare a special gift for the one they felt most connected to. I made sure that Jenny would come. It took some persuading, though. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As the team gathering began, there was tension in the air. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The day of the tournament arrived. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 As the team gathering began, there was tension in the air. Apparently, Jenny was still upset, her head hanging low. With a heavy heart, I kicked things off, emphasizing our bond as a team. My gift for Jenny was a photo of our team, with everyone applauding her for taking first place. Gradually, our teammates showered each other with encouraging words and gifts. “To our captains, you are the rock!” Words like this eased the tension and warmed our hearts. Jenny couldn’t hold back her tears any more. “Let’s make it together, as a team!” she said, handing me a drawing of us together. The day of the tournament arrived. Jenny stood beside me, a look of resolve on her face. When the game began, the seven of us gave it our all, with Jenny leading the charge, inspiring us to push harder. So close were we that our hearts seemed to beat together. Not surprisingly, Jenny lifted us to the championship. As the final whistle blew, we erupted in cheers. We really made it as a team. But deep down, I knew we were more than a team—we were a family, with love and understanding, where everyone was valued! 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达是读后续写。本文以人物为线索展开。作者向母亲倾诉最近的烦恼：田径队联合队长珍妮突然态度转变，频繁缺席训练，令人费解。母亲透露，珍妮与其弟弟在寄养家庭中相依为命，视彼此为家人。本周，珍妮的继父只带走了她的弟弟，并未将她纳入未来计划。得知珍妮面临和家人分离的痛苦，作者决定组织一次团队聚会，让大家互赠礼物和留言，以表达对彼此的支持，尤其确保珍妮能参加，经过一番劝说，她同意了。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“当团队聚会开始时，气氛紧张。”可知，第一段可以描写珍妮的状态和大家对她的鼓励。 ②由第二段句首内容“比赛的日子到了。”可知，第二段可以描写比赛的过程和结果。 2.续写线索：聚会开始—珍妮沮丧—鼓励—到家—比赛日子到了—夺冠—感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①强调：emphasize/stress ②获得第一名： take first place/get the first place ③缓解：ease/relieve 情绪类 ①鼓舞人心的：encouraging/inspiring ②决心：resolve/determination 【点睛】【高分句型1】With a heavy heart, I kicked things off, emphasizing our bond as a team.( 运用了现在分词作状语) 【高分句型2】My gift for Jenny was a photo of our team, with everyone applauding her for taking first place.( 运用了with复合结构) 【高分句型3】When the game began, the seven of us gave it our all, with Jenny leading the charge, inspiring us to push harder.

CareerOneStop B Fifteen-year-old Sansa has been writing for eight years and has been working on a book for the past four. Feeling stuck and unable to write, she started searching for writing groups in Los Angeles, looking for guidance. When she found WriteGirl, she was inspired. Keren Taylor started WriteGirl in 2001 as a way to help teen girls who did not have access to creative writing programs. “Teen girls are incredibly vulnerable (脆弱的) and invisible,” Taylor said. “They really need to be lifted up and inspired.” At WriteGirl, 400 women writers volunteer to mentor (指导) 700 teenagers a year. Every girl who has gone through the mentorship program has gone to college and several have pursued careers as professional writers. Through the program, girls dive into poetry, fiction, songwriting, play and so on, learning techniques from professional women writers. This leads to well-rounded training and sets WriteGirl apart from other organizations. A typical exercise at WriteGirl is mic and rant, a 30-second session before writing for each girl. As a vehicle for teens to get their ideas out, it empowers girls to explore anything meaningful to them. “Not the flowery language, or rather, complicated expressions that sound skillful, but more of the natural, this is what I’m thinking and what I’m feeling.” Taylor said. Sansa’s mentor Danyella Wilder is attracted by the long-term nature of mentoring at WriteGirl. Wilder wishes she had a program like this herself when she was 15. “To just have an organization where people are spending their time just to tell you, ‘Hey, good job,’ or ‘That was amazing.’ You’re at the age where you need to hear that.” 4. Why did Sansa join WriteGirl? A. To gain a sense of belonging. B. To overcome her writing block. C. To release negative emotions. D. To become a professional writer. 5. What makes WriteGirl different from other organizations? A. It aims to produce professional writers. B. It turns teen girls into mentors. C. It exposes girls to varied writing styles. D. It ensures girls’entry to college. 6. What does the “mic and rant” exercise in paragraph 4 refer to? A. A daily writing task. B. A recitation of poetry. C. A session for idea generation. D. A skillful expression activity. 7. What does Danyella Wilder imply in the last paragraph? A. Mentoring is a time-consuming process. B. Positive feedback is crucial for teen girls. C. Criticism at a young age can be harmful. D. Mentorship should be based on friendship. C It is William Shakespeare, the great coiner, who is given credit for the word. Coriolanus, one of his characters, compares going into exile (流放) to a “lonely dragon” retiring to his cave. He was talking about a physical state: someone who was lonely was simply alone. Then, thanks to the Romantic poets, the word took on emotional meanings. Loneliness became a condition of the soul. For William Wordsworth, who famously “wandered lonely as a cloud”, the natural world offered an escape from negative feelings of loneliness — a host of flowers could provide “cheerful company”. Today, loneliness is often seen as a serious public-health problem, creating the feeling of disconnection. In his book Solitude, Netta Weinstein, a psychology professor wonders the rewards of time spent alone. He begins with an account of stories of solitude created by figures such as Michel Montaigne, a writer, and Edward Hopper, a painter. Netta then draw on laboratory work, interviews and surveys to clarify how being alone really affects the human mind. It is common to treat loneliness and solitude as synonyms (同义词), but they are not. The author suggests that what is negatively described as one state can be positively expressed as the other. Loneliness, often perceived as negative, can potentially be transformed into a positive experience of solitude. To this end he emphasizes how being alone can help restore people and offers practical advice. In a noisy world, he argues, people should make time to be alone, away from attention-grabbing motives. The book’s interviewees mostly regard a lack of company as a contributor to autonomy. But this depends on whether solitude is desirable or not. Enforced solitude, such as that experienced by prisoners, typically leads to nothing but suffering. Elective solitude, by contrast, affords space for self-reflection. It can open the door to “peak experiences” such as wonder, harmony, and happiness. In a highly-connected digital age, however, many readers do not fancy their chances of ever taking a long enough break to have such experiences. 8.

D Robots have long been drawing inspiration from animals, with the creation of robot dogs or snake-shaped robots. And yet, the field of robotics is far less enthusiastic about the other kind of living things — plants. Barbara Mazzolai, an Italian roboticist owes this to a misconception about plant behavior: that they cannot move or think. “It’s not true at all,” she says. To challenge this view, Dr Mazzolai and her team recently launched a machine called “FiloBot”, a robot based on a climbing species. To survive, a climbing plant must switch between several different behaviors. In forest environments, it must first grow out of the soil and travel along the ground in search of a support to hold onto, such as a nearby tree. Once a support is located, though, the plant fixes itself around the object and then growing towards the light. To choose the best angle to grow upwards, a climbing plant uses its shoots (芽) to receive information about light and gravity. FiloBot has sensors on its main shoot. It can 3D-print its body with plastic and grow at a controllable rate. These functions, researchers found, enabled FiloBot to cross gaps, and find things to attach to. The lack of heavy on-board computing device means that it is light and requires minimal care, while its slow pace means that it doesn’t disturb things around it, making it possible to move through a complex, unseen environment, or monitoring disaster sites. For now, FiloBot is still being tested. Its tendrils (卷须) have not left the laboratory. Still, it has already been employed in deconstructing plant behaviour. For example, it was long assumed that climbing plants find their supports by growing towards shade, though the exact mechanism was unclear. FiloBot could imitate this behaviour by detecting far-red light, which is typical of shaded areas, providing clues to how plants do it. Dr Mazzolai hopes that such projects will inspire other roboticists to take their cues from plants and develop completely new technologies. 12. What does the misconception about plants in the field of robotics focus on? A. Their shapes. B. Their diversity. C. Their body language. D. Their capabilities. 13. What is an advantage of FiloBot? A. It moves quickly. B. It has a solid metal body. C. It adapts to different environment. D. It is attached to huge computers. 14. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The limitations of FiloBot. B. The current use of FiloBot. C The components of FiloBot. D. The unique feature of FiloBot’s design. 15 Which of the following is a suitable title for this text? A. A Role Model for Robotics Research B A Glimpse into the World of Robotics C. A Plant-Inspired Innovation in Robotics D.

But you may be surprised to hear that wandering through pretty streets or hiking in mountainous have not always been considered leisure activities, according to Daniel Gale, a researcher of pedestrianism (步行运动). ____16____ Before that, it was just something people did out of necessity, some of whom even associated it with criminal activity. But for Charles Dickens, the famous English 19th Century author, marching through London streets and tramping around the countryside was a big part of the creative process. ____17____ He walked at an impressive pace of four miles per hour, according to his biography by Peter Ackroyd. ____18____ Perhaps you can take inspiration from another big-thinking wanderer. 19th Century American writer Henry David Thoreau took a slower approach, preferring to stroll over hills and fields and through the woods. He said that he could not preserve his health and spirits without walking at least four hours a day. This idea of taking a stroll to clear your head has survived through to the 21st Century. But have pedestrian manners remained the same? A 1780 article for the London Magazine advised pedestrians to avoid things such as hanging around in conversation and obstructing people behind you. ____19____ In this modern age, when many of us are tied to our desks and to our screens, try the simple act of stepping out onto the city pavements, or getting lost in nature. ____20____ Whether you see yourself more as a casual stroller or a purposeful strider (阔步者), why not build a habit out of it? A. What if speed-walking isn’t your thing? B. This may make all the difference to our wellbeing. C. Nowadays, we could add distracted phone-users. D. He brought the recreation of walking into fashion. E. Going on an urban walk is much more pleasant now. F. It was a time to absorb what was going on around him. G. In Britain, walking for fun wasn’t really a thing until the 1780s. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Sargassum is the smelly seaweed piling up on beaches across the Caribbean.

Training is less tiring than dealing with her and her feelings,” I complained. Jenny and I were co-captains of our cross-country team. We’d been training for the coming tournament (锦标赛) for weeks: stretching, running, and making the seven of us into a team. Jenny, with exceptional running talent, always had a way to get ahead of her competitors on the course. She also helped all of us run faster and cheered us on. It seemed that she was anticipating the final show. However, this week, her attitude shifted. She kept making excuses not to run with the team, from aching legs to headaches. I had to beg her, telling her repeatedly that the team couldn’t do without her. It went on all day and I was worn out. What’s her deal? Mom pulled into our driveway, and turned toward me, “Well, I know a little about Jenny. She and her little brother have been together in foster care (寄养家庭). So close were they that every time they moved, Jenny would say that as long as they were together, they had a family.” My heart sank as Mom continued, “Jenny’s stepfather (继父) came for her brother this week, with gifts, hugs and big plans for their future. But Jenny wasn’t even part of his big plans.” My chest felt tight. “Poor Jenny, not to have a family.” I was close to tears. My mother patted my knee. “That’s it, honey. You got it.” And I did. I decided that I should do something. I proposed that we organize a team gathering before the tournament. Each member was to write a heartfelt message for every teammate and prepare a special gift for the one they felt most connected to. I made sure that Jenny would come. It took some persuading, though. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As the team gathering began, there was tension in the air. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The day of the tournament arrived. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1-5 BACCB 6-10BBABA 11-15 ABBBC 16-20 ACBCA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
