One was about a family in Minnesota who had just lost their four-year-old son to cancer. His older brother, autistic (患孤独症的) and nonverbal, was extremely sad. Could Ferrell help? That message and the 30 or so others like it were exactly what Ferrell was looking for. To celebrate her 53rd, the longtime social service professional and well-known sweetie had put out a call on her Facebook page. She wanted to commit 53 random acts of kindness by the end of her birth month, and she needed information on people who could use one. When she got the note about the Minnesota family, she sent a wind chime (风铃) with the message “Listen to the wind and know that I am near” written on the clapper. It now hangs in the four-year-old’s bedroom, where his brother can go to listen to it whenever he wants. This is not the first time that Ferrell decided to give gifts for her birthday. For her 47th, in 2014, she founded Love with Skin On, an organization dedicated to doing good deeds near her home in Roanoke, Virginia, and beyond. Its motto is simple: Be Love, Do Stuff. Over the years, Ferrell has reached out and touched well over 100 strangers, some found via Facebook callouts, others with help from her grandkids. In another act of giving, she shares her favorite inexpensive and creative gift ideas on Pinterest for others to use. Ferrell pays for everything herself: gift cards, pay-it-forward purchases at drive-throughs, and care packages, as well as the gas it takes to play fairy godmother. Her family often gives her some extra birthday cash with a serious warning not to spend it on anyone else, which she naturally ignores. “I got a couple of Amazon gift cards for my birthday this year and was like ‘YESSS!’ It’s Ferrell’s party, and she’ll give if she wants to. 4. What did Debra Ferrell receive on her birthday? A. Messages asking for help. B. Unusual birthday wishes. C. Random gestures of kindness. D. Gifts from Love with Skin On. 5. What does Ferrell do on Pinterest? A. Share innovative ideas. B. Give away care packages. C. Purchase gifts for strangers. D. Collect money for the needy. 6. What can be concluded from the last paragraph ? A. Ferrel will hold a party. B. Ferrel cares little about her family. C. Ferrel will continue helping strangers. D. Ferrel pays for everything for her family. 7. Which of the following words can best describe Ferrell? A. Loving and tolerant. B. Selfless and independent. C. Determined and demanding. D. Generous and Warm-hearted. 【答案】4. A 5. A 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了Debra Ferrell在53岁生日那天在她的博客上收到了祝福，但是也收到了求助信息，Debra Ferrell用实际行动为有需要的人提供帮助。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据首段中的“Debra Ferrell got the standard well wishes on Facebook on her 53rd birthday, but she got some unusual messages too. One was about a family in Minnesota who had just lost their four-year-old son to cancer. His older brother, autistic (患孤独症的) and nonverbal, was extremely sad. Could Ferrell help? (Debra Ferrell在她53岁生日那天在Facebook上收到了标准的祝福，但她也收到了一些不寻常的信息。其中一则是关于明尼苏达州的一个家庭，他们四岁的儿子刚刚因癌症去世。他的哥哥患有患孤独症，不会说话，非常悲伤。Ferrell能帮上忙吗？)”可知，在Debra Ferrell 53岁生日这天她收到了很多人的祝福信息，也收到一些不寻常的信息，其中一则信息是有一个家庭遇到了很多的不幸，询问Ferrell是否可以帮忙，由此可知，在Debra Ferrell 53岁生日，她收到了需要帮助的人的信息。故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“In another act of giving, she shares her favorite inexpensive and creative gift ideas on Pinterest for others to use. (在另一种给予行为中，她在Pinterest上分享了她最喜欢的廉价而有创意的礼物想法，供其他人使用。)”可知，在给予行为中，她在Pinterest上分享自己最喜欢的虽然便宜但是很有创意的礼物，以供他人使用，由此可知，Ferrell在Pinterest上分享给予行为的创意。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Over the years, Ferrell has reached out and touched well over 100 strangers, some found via Facebook callouts, others with help from her grandkids. (多年来，Ferrell已经接触过100多个陌生人，有些是通过Facebook上的号召找到的，有些是在她孙子的帮助下找到的。)”可知，多年来Ferrell持续帮助了很多人；结合尾段中的“Her family often gives her some extra birthday cash with a serious warning not to spend it on anyone else, which she naturally ignores. (她的家人经常给她一些额外的生日现金，并严厉警告她不要把这些钱花在别人身上，她自然会不予理睬。)”可知，虽然Ferrell的家人不希望她把生日现金花在别人身上，但Ferrell不会理会，由此可推断，Ferrell会一直坚持帮助陌生人。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“To celebrate her 53rd, the longtime social service professional and well-known sweetie had put out a call on her Facebook page. She wanted to commit 53 random acts of kindness by the end of her birth month, and she needed information on people who could use one. (为了庆祝她的53岁生日，这位长期从事社会服务的专业人士和众所周知的甜心在她的Facebook页面上发起了一个呼吁。她想在出生月底之前随机做53件善举，她需要了解哪些人需要这样做。)”可知，为庆祝她生日，她决定作53件善举，她需要了解哪些人需要这样做；结合第三段中的“This is not the first time that Ferrell decided to give gifts for her birthday. For her 47th, in 2014, she founded Love with Skin On, an organization dedicated to doing good deeds near her home in Roanoke, Virginia, and beyond. (这已经不是Ferrell第一次为她的生日送礼物了。2014年，在她47岁的时候，她创立了一个名为Love with Skin On的组织，致力于在她位于弗吉尼亚州罗阿诺克的家附近以及更远的地方做善事。)”可知，她不止一次的给其他人送生日礼物，还创立了慈善组织，致力于帮助她家附近以及更远的地方做善事；结合尾段中的“Her family often gives her some extra birthday cash with a serious warning not to spend it on anyone else, which she naturally ignores. (她的家人经常给她一些额外的生日现金，并严厉警告她不要把这些钱花在别人身上，她自然会不予理睬。)”可知，虽然Ferrell的家人不希望她把生日现金花在别人身上，但Ferrell不会理会，由此可知，她用不同的方式帮助有困难的人，所以她是热心的，在给其他人过生日时送上生日礼物，还会把家人给的生日现金花在别人身上，由此说明她是慷慨的，所以Ferrell是一个热心又慷慨的人。故选D项。 C A new exhibition in Paris aims to show how England in the middle ages was very much part of Europe’s dynamic art, architectural, trade and culture scene between AD1000 and AD1500. Organizers said the event would discredit the “popular perception” – mainly across the Channel – that medieval England was “primitive and barbaric”, while France and parts of Europe enjoyed a gothic zenith. James Robinson, the exhibition curator, said there had been a “reassessment” of England’s contribution to European art in the middle ages over the past half a century. “I’d like to blow apart the popular perception that the middle ages were all about pestilence(plague), the Black Death and religious repression, and demonstrate the artistic and technical excellence that was evident ,” he said. “When you look at the art works in this exhibition you will see some of the true masterpieces of the age.” Unfortunately, while France and other European countries largely preserved their medieval treasures, England’s artistic heritage was “systematically and ruthlessly decimated” by the 16th -century Reformation and the revolution led by Oliver Cromwell in the 1640s. The English Reformation , after Henry VIII wrested the Church of England away from the authority of the Catholic church in Rome, saw the king’s chief minister, Thomas Cromwell, close down the monasteries, confiscating their riches and in many cases dismantling the buildings.“All things of value were spoiled, plucked away or utterly defaced…and it seemed every person was intent upon filching and spoiling what he could, ” wrote Michael Sherbrook, the 16th-century rector of Wickersley near Roche Abbey in South Yorkshire . Among the exhibits at the Paris exhibition that opens on Friday are rare treasures that escaped the 16th- and 17th -century pillage and destruction, including the Gloucester Candlestick, the Becket Casket, the Clare Chasuble, the Luck of Edenhall and the Syon Cope. Marie Lavandier, the president of France’s National Monuments Centre, said:“The exhibition highlights the extraordinary richness of the artistic exchanges that united England with continental Europe. At this moment when we are interrogating ourselves about our relationship with Europe, what the exhibition is also demonstrating is that we have always been closely tied to it in terms of commerce and diplomatic relationships.” 8. What’s the popular perception of England in the middle ages? A. England was the centre of the medieval culture B. England enjoyed the top level in gothic art C. England lagged far behind France and other parts of Europe in art D. England had the advanced and first-rate architecture then 9. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “decimated” in paragraph 4? A. refreshed B. replicated C. promoted D. undermined 10. From Michael Sherbrook’s comment we can learn that__________ A. Destructions were plotted by France and other European countries B. Artistic treasures suffered huge loss under the Church of England C. He was totally astonished about what happened D. The Catholic church should be responsible for the whole event 11. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. The chaos medieval age of England B. The Paris exhibition dispels myth of “primitive” England in middle ages C. How to enjoy a new exhibition in Paris D. An introduction to artistic exchanges in England 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。作者主要介绍了巴黎的一个新展览，旨在打破人们普遍认为中世纪都是关于瘟疫、黑死病和宗教镇压的看法，并展示显而易见的艺术和技术卓越。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。由文第二段“Organizers said the event would discredit the “popular perception” – mainly across the Channel – that medieval England was “primitive and barbaric”, while France and parts of Europe enjoyed a gothic zenith.”（组织者表示，这场活动将破坏“大众的看法”——主要是在英吉利海峡对岸——即中世纪的英格兰是“原始和野蛮的”，而法国和欧洲部分地区则享有哥特式的鼎盛时期）可知，在中世纪，人们对英格兰的普遍看法是英国在艺术方面远远落后于法国和欧洲其他地区，故选C项。 【9题详解】 词义猜测题。由划线单词所在句“Unfortunately, while France and other European countries largely preserved their medieval treasures, England’s artistic heritage was “systematically and ruthlessly decimated” by the 16th -century Reformation and the revolution led by Oliver Cromwell in the 1640s”（不幸的是，尽管法国和其他欧洲国家基本上保留了中世纪的宝藏，但英国的艺术遗产却被16世纪的宗教改革和16世纪40年代奥利弗·克伦威尔领导的革命“系统而无情地__”）可知，前后分句存在转折关系，即该词意思与preserved“保存”相反，D项undermined“破坏”语义最接近，故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。由文倒数第二段最后一句““All things of value were spoiled, plucked away or utterly defaced…and it seemed every person was intent upon filching and spoiling what he could, ” wrote Michael Sherbrook, the 16th-century rector of Wickersley near Roche Abbey in South Yorkshire .”（“所有有价值的东西都被破坏了，被拿走了，或者被彻底污损了……似乎每个人都一心想偷走和破坏他能偷走的东西，”16世纪南约克郡罗什修道院附近威克斯利的校长迈克尔·舍布鲁克写道）可知，从Michael Sherbrook的评论用词中，我们可以了解到他对所发生的事情感到非常惊讶，故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。由文第一段“A new exhibition in Paris aims to show how England in the middle ages was very much part of Europe’s dynamic art, architectural, trade and culture scene between AD1000 and AD1500.”（巴黎的一个新展览旨在展示中世纪的英格兰如何在公元1000年至公元1500年间成为欧洲充满活力的艺术、建筑、贸易和文化舞台的一部分。）和第二段“Organizers said the event would discredit the “popular perception” – mainly across the Channel – that medieval England was “primitive and barbaric”, while France and parts of Europe enjoyed a gothic zenith.”（组织者表示，这场活动将破坏“大众的看法”——主要是在英吉利海峡对岸——即中世纪的英格兰是“原始和野蛮的”，而法国和欧洲部分地区则享有哥特式的鼎盛时期。）以及纵观全文可知，本文主要介绍了巴黎的一个新展览，旨在打破人们普遍认为中世纪都是关于瘟疫、黑死病和宗教镇压的看法，并展示显而易见的艺术和技术卓越，故选B项。 D At a conference last week, I received an interesting piece of advice: “Assume you are wrong.” The advice came from Brian Nosek, a fellow psychology professor. He wasn’t objecting to any particular claim I’d made — he was offering a strategy for pursuing better science, and for encouraging others to do the same. To understand the context for Nosek’s advice, we need to take a step back — to the nature of science itself. Despite what many of us learned in elementary school, there is no single scientific method. Just as scientific theories change, so do scientific methods. Assuming you are right might be a motivating force, sustaining the enormous effort that conducting scientific work requires. But it also makes it easy to interpret criticisms as personal attacks, and for scientific arguments to develop into personal battles. Beginning, instead, from the assumption you are wrong, a criticism is easier to be viewed as a helpful pointer, a constructive suggestion for how to be less wrong — a goal that your critic probably shares. Nosek’s advice may sound pessimistic, but it’s not so foreign to science. Philosophers of science sometimes refer to the “pessimistic meta-induction (元归纳)” on the history of science: All of our past scientific theories have been wrong, so surely our current theories will turn out to be wrong, too. That doesn’t mean we haven’t made progress, but it does indicate that there is always room for improvement—ways to be less wrong. I like the advice because it builds in an awareness of our limitations and a readiness to accept the unknown (“there are things I do not know!”) along with a sense that we can do better (“there are things I do not know yet!”). It also builds in a sense of community — we’re all in the same boat when it comes to falling short of getting things right. Perhaps the focus on a shared goal — our goal as scientists and humans of being less wrong — can help make up for any harm in scientific motivation or communication. 12. Why did Nosek send the advice? A. To express opinions about my claims. B. To remind me to be open to criticism. C. To encourage me to take up science. D. To better my understanding of psychology. 13. How does assuming you are wrong help? A. It motivates scientists to make efforts. B. It addresses personal attacks and conflicts. C. It sets a constructive improvement goal. D. It contributes to a deeper insight into yourself. 14. What does the author think of science theories? A. Dynamic. B. Testable. C. Pioneering. D. Well-established. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Accept the Unknown B. Aim to Be Less Wrong C. Get Engaged in Psychology D. Dig into the Nature of Science 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要讲述了作者对在科学研究中“假设你是错的”这条建议的看法，并肯定了它所带来的好处。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“He wasn’t objecting to any particular claim I’d made—he was offering a strategy for pursuing better science, and for encouraging others to do the same.(他并没有反对我的任何特定主张——他提出了一个追求更好科学的策略，并鼓励其他人也这样做。)”和第三段中的“Beginning, instead, from the assumption you are wrong, a criticism is easier to be viewed as a helpful pointer, a constructive suggestion for how to be less wrong—a goal that your critic probably shares.(相反，从你错了的假设开始，批评更容易被视为一个有用的提示，一个如何减少错误的建设性建议——这是你的批评者可能也有的同样目标)”可知，Nosek提出的这条建议是一个追求更好科学的策略，从假设自己错了开始，就会更容易接受批评，让自己减少错误，由此可推测出，Nosek提出这条建议是为了提醒作者对批评持开放态度。故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Beginning, instead, from the assumption you are wrong, a criticism is easier to be viewed as a helpful pointer, a constructive suggestion for how to be less wrong—a goal that your critic probably shares.(相反，从你错了的假设开始，批评更容易被视为一个有用的提示，一个如何减少错误的建设性建议——这是你的批评者可能也有的同样目标)”可知，假设你错了可以帮助你获得如何减少错误的建设性建议，而减少错误或许是你和你的批评者的共同目标，由此可推测出，假设你错了可以帮助设立一个建设性的改进目标。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Just as scientific theories change, so do scientific methods.(正如科学理论在变化，科学方法也在变化)”可知，作者认为科学理论是变化的、动态的。故选A。 【15题详解】 标题归纳题。通读全文，尤其是第一段第一句“At a conference last week, I received an interesting piece of advice: ‘Assume you are wrong.’(在上周的一次会议上，我收到了一条有趣的建议：‘假设你错了。’)”和最后一段最后一句“Perhaps the focus on a shared goal—our goal as scientists and humans of being less wrong—can help make up for any harm in scientific motivation or communication.(也许关注一个共同的目标——我们作为科学家和人类的目标是减少错误——可以帮助弥补科学动机或沟通中的任何伤害)”可知，本文主要讨论了在科学研究中“假设你是错的”这个方法，它有助于让所有人关注减少错误这一共同目标，从而让科学取得进步，由此可推测出，B项“力求减少错误”最适合作本文标题。故选B。 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。 Having settled in Hotel Courtyard in Bangkok, we explored the city immediately. We went shopping for the whole day and finally we decided to return. It was at that time that the trouble started. We forgot there are two courtyard hotels in the opposite directions. Absolutely unaware of this, we started searching for the way back. Google maps suggested us the shortest route which was just 20 minutes away by walk. ____16____ Bangkok felt different after sunset. Walking along the heavily-crowded roads with the dark-red sky felt beautiful. Lost in our talk, we didn’t realize that we passed onto the quieter part of the town. ____17____ It was closed for redecoration. Unfortunately, nobody around us then spoke English. Worse still, we stepped in a local tuk-tuk (三轮车), which took us to an unknown area for an enormous pay. We had no idea where we were, our mobile phones nearly out of charge. ____18____ He was a taxi driver. Recounting the day’s events proved to be a great conversation starter. We ended up talking through the way. He was so kind as to offer to drive us around for the rest of our stay. ____19____ For the next four days, from floating markets to the temples of Wat Pho, our trip wouldn’t have been so trouble-free without him. Sometimes when everything doesn’t go as planned, I think about the stranger we met on the streets and how a tiny mistake on our part led to unexpected results. ____20____ A. That was when our hero arrived. B. Our thankfulness knew no bounds. C. We reached a completely different Hotel Courtyard. D. We set off into the city with little research on transport. E. We decided not to waste our money but our time instead. F. The trip rings as a reminder that every cloud has a silver lining. G. He then informed us that our hotel was just a few blocks away. 【答案】16. E 17. C 18. A 19. B 20. F 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述了作者一家在曼谷旅游时遇到一位好心的司机的故事。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Google maps suggested us the shortest route which was just 20 minutes away by walk.(谷歌地图为我们推荐了最短的路线，步行只需20分钟)”提到谷歌地图提供了最短的路线，步行只需20分钟，结合下一段中“Walking along the heavily-crowded roads with the dark-red sky felt beautiful.(在拥挤的道路上漫步，深红色的天空让人感觉很美)”可知，作者一家选择了按推荐的路线步行，E项“我们决定不浪费钱，而是花费时间”符合语境。故选E。 【17题详解】 根据下一句“It was closed for redecoration.(它因重新装修而关闭了)”可知，作者一家应是到达酒店后发现它关闭了，C选项中Hotel Ramada对应后文It。C项“我们到达了一个完全不同的华美达酒店”符合语境。故选C。 【18题详解】 上一段末句“We had no idea where we were, our mobile phones nearly out of charge.(我们不知道自己身在何处，我们的手机几乎没电了)”提到作者一家身陷困境，结合下文“He was a taxi driver.(他是一名出租车司机)”可知，空处应是提及一个帮助作者一家解决困境的人物，A项“就在这时，我们的英雄来了”符合语境。故选A。 【19题详解】 根据上文“He was so kind as to offer to drive us around for the rest of our stay.(他好心地提出在我们剩下的逗留时间里开车载我们四处转转)”提到那名司机带作者一行人四处转转，结合下文“For the next four days, from floating markets to the temples of Wat Pho, our trip wouldn’t have been so trouble-free without him.(在接下来的四天里，从水上市场到卧佛寺，如果没有他，我们的旅行不会这么顺利)”可知，作者一家应是很感谢那位司机，B项“我们的感激之情难以形容”符合语境，故选B。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Sometimes when everything doesn’t go as planned, I think about the stranger we met on the streets and how a tiny mistake on our part led to unexpected results.(有时候，当一切都没有按计划进行时，我会想起我们在街上遇到的陌生人，以及我们的一个小小的错误是如何导致意想不到的结果的)”可知，事情不按原计划发展时作者总会想起那位陌生人和那次旅行，所以空处应是总结那次旅行得出的感悟，F项“这次旅行提醒我们，黑暗中总有一线光明”符合语境。故选F。 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，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I have had no interest in football for as long as I can remember.

Addressing 42. scenes 43. which 44. but 45. its 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道的是备受期待的诺贝尔奖得主莫言的首部戏剧《鳄鱼》舞台剧于5月3日在江苏省苏州市苏州湾大剧院首演，以及该作品的一些相关情况。 【36题详解】 考查介词。句意：备受期待的诺贝尔奖得主莫言的首部戏剧《鳄鱼》舞台剧于5月3日在江苏省苏州市苏州湾大剧院首演。空后为表时间的名词，所以此处使用介词，表示具体某天时，介词应为on。故填on。 【37题详解】 考查过去分词。句意：《鳄鱼》是莫言的第一部原创剧本，于2023年6月出版。此处为非谓语动词作定语修饰名词script，pen与script之间为被动关系，且该动作已经发生，所以此处使用过去分词形式。故填penned。 【38题详解】 考查谓语动词。句意：《鳄鱼》的情节围绕着男主角单无惮和他收到的生日礼物鳄鱼展开。此处为谓语动词，结合句意可知，此处描述的是客观事实，所以使用一般现在时，revolve与句子主语The plot of Crocodile之间为主动关系，且主语为第三人称单数。故填revolves。 【39题详解】 考查副词。句意：故事通过一只无限生长的鳄鱼，深入人性的复杂性，探索“欲望”的主题。此处为副词作状语修饰growing，infinite的副词形式infinitely“无线地”符合句意。故填infinitely。 【40题详解】 考查冠词。句意：这部长达三小时的舞台剧云集了众多明星演员，包括饰演单无惮的台湾影星赵文瑄，女演员张凯丽和香港资深女演员邓萃雯。cast“演员”为可数名词单数，空前无限定词，所以此处使用冠词，结合句意可知，此处表示泛指意义，所以使用不定冠词，star-studded的首个音素为辅音。故填a。 【41题详解】 考查现在分词。句意：在谢幕时，莫言对观众说：“我很兴奋，对其中的多个场景很熟悉，但又很陌生，这表明制作团队确实根据我的剧本进行了新的改编。”此处为非谓语动词作状语，address与逻辑主语Mo之间为主动关系，所以此处使用现在分词形式，且位于句首，首字母需大写。故填Addressing。 【42题详解】 考查名词。句意：在谢幕时，莫言对观众说：“我很兴奋，对其中的多个场景很熟悉，但又很陌生，这表明制作团队确实根据我的剧本进行了新的改编。”scene“场景”为可数名词，空前有multiple修饰，所以此处使用名词复数形式。故填scenes。 【43题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：在谢幕时，莫言对观众说：“我很兴奋，对其中的多个场景很熟悉，但又很陌生，这表明制作团队确实根据我的剧本进行了新的改编。”此处为关系词引导的非限制性定语从句，从句中缺少主语，所以使用关系代词，且先行词指的是主句这件事，所以使用关系代词which。故填which。 【44题详解】 考查连词。句意：这样的观察不仅仅是为了欣赏艺术，也是为了提醒我们反思自己的生活。此处为“not merely…but…”连接两个并列句，意为“不仅……而且……”。故填but。 【45题详解】 考查代词。句意：在苏州首演后，《鳄鱼》将于9月在中国各地巡回演出，包括南京、福州、广州、上海和北京。此空后为名词premiere，所以此处使用形容词性物主代词，it的形容词性物主代词为its。故填its。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 46. 假设你是李华，你校上周发起了“我与父母换角色（Exchange Roles with Parents）”的活动，请你据此给校英文报投稿，内容包括： 1.活动目的；2.你的行动；3.你的感受。 注意： 1.写作词数应为80左右；2.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 In a bid to arouse the awareness of being grateful to our parents, an activity named Exchange Roles with Parents was launched by our school last week. Instead of being taken care of by my parents all the time, I took the responsibility of doing housework last Sunday.

They both missed the field trip last year because they could not cover the extra fee. This year, Michael’s class would arrange a field trip to the city museum and he really wanted to go. So he was trying to earn some pocket money. On this cold autumn morning, Michael gathered the last of the leaves into a small pile. There weren’t even enough to jump in. “Mom and Dad are never going to pay me for gathering this little bit of leaves.” “What are you talking about?” Greg asked, walking up behind him. “I’m trying to do some housework so I can make enough money to cover my field trip to the city museum, but there’s nothing to do around here.” Michael sighed and looked around. “You could offer to wash Mom and Dad’s cars,” Greg said. Michael’s face lit up. “That’s a great idea.” “I bet some of the neighbors would pay you to wash theirs, too. It’s getting colder and no one wants to wash the cars themselves.” Greg looked his brother in the eye. Michael nodded. The air was cold. He shivered（打寒颤）at the thought of washing cars and getting wet in this cold weather. “Maybe this isn’t a good idea.” Greg placed his hand on Michael’s shoulder. “I have some golf gloves that are designed for wet, cold weather. I’ll loan you a pair, and I’ll even help you wash the cars.” “Really? You’d help me and let me keep the money?” “Sure. Golf season is over. I won’t need the extra cash for a while.” Greg disappeared inside the house. Michael asked his parents if he could wash their cars for a small fee. When they agreed, he asked some neighbors, too. Three more agreed. Michael got a bucket, some sponges（海绵）, towels and soap. Greg came back outside with the gloves. “Here you go. They’ll keep your hands warm and dry.” “Thanks.” Michael still couldn’t believe his brother was helping him earn the money like this. He had to think of a way to repay him. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 With these tools, Michael started to work. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ To Michael’s surprise, he found he earned more money than expected. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】With these tools, Michael started to work. He started with his parents’ car, carefully washing it, wiping it down, and adding tire shine. Once he finished, he moved on to the neighbor’s cars. At first, he was worried about getting cold and wet, but the golf gloves kept his hands warm and dry. Greg helped out, and together they finished the cars in no time. When back home, he counted up the money he had earned. To Michael’s surprise, he found he earned more money than expected. He had enough to cover the cost of his field trip and even had some extra money left. Overwhelmed with gratitude towards his brother, Michael secretly decided to buy a special gift--a beautiful golf accessory --as a token of appreciation for Greg. Next day, he held out the gift bag, gently saying “Thank you so much for helping me out.” Greg hugged his brother and replied, “I’m so proud of you for working hard and saving up for your field trip. You deserved it.” At that moment, Michael knew that he was lucky to have a brother like Greg, someone who was always there to offer a helping hand. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述了两兄弟Michael和Greg因家庭经济拮据错过去年的参观活动，因此Michael想方设法赚钱以支付今年的参观费用。Greg给出了洗车赚钱的建议，并确保Michael不会因天气变冷而感到不适，最终Michael赚到了足够的参观费用并买了一份特殊的礼物送给Greg以表达感激之情。此故事强调家庭团结和亲情。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“有了这些工具，Michael开始工作。”可知，第一段可描写Michael在Greg的帮助下，二人一起刷车的场景，以及Michael回家数钱。 ②由第二段首句内容“令Michael吃惊的是，他发现他赚的钱比预期的要多。”可知，第二段可描写Michael在发现赚的钱比预期的要多之后的惊讶和惊喜的情绪，同时描述其给Greg买礼物作为回报的情节。 2.续写线索： 刷车——Michael数钱——Michael买礼物——Michael感谢Greg——Michael的感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①小心清洗：carefully wash/cautiously clean ②.完成：finish/complete ③.拿出：hold out/take out 情绪类 ①.担心的：worried/concerned ②.充满感激：overwhelmed with gratitude/full of appreciation 【点睛】[高分句型1].

B Debra Ferrell got the standard well wishes on Facebook on her 53rd birthday, but she got some unusual messages too. One was about a family in Minnesota who had just lost their four-year-old son to cancer. His older brother, autistic (患孤独症的) and nonverbal, was extremely sad. Could Ferrell help? That message and the 30 or so others like it were exactly what Ferrell was looking for. To celebrate her 53rd, the longtime social service professional and well-known sweetie had put out a call on her Facebook page. She wanted to commit 53 random acts of kindness by the end of her birth month, and she needed information on people who could use one. When she got the note about the Minnesota family, she sent a wind chime (风铃) with the message “Listen to the wind and know that I am near” written on the clapper. It now hangs in the four-year-old’s bedroom, where his brother can go to listen to it whenever he wants. This is not the first time that Ferrell decided to give gifts for her birthday. For her 47th, in 2014, she founded Love with Skin On, an organization dedicated to doing good deeds near her home in Roanoke, Virginia, and beyond. Its motto is simple: Be Love, Do Stuff. Over the years, Ferrell has reached out and touched well over 100 strangers, some found via Facebook callouts, others with help from her grandkids. In another act of giving, she shares her favorite inexpensive and creative gift ideas on Pinterest for others to use. Ferrell pays for everything herself: gift cards, pay-it-forward purchases at drive-throughs, and care packages, as well as the gas it takes to play fairy godmother. Her family often gives her some extra birthday cash with a serious warning not to spend it on anyone else, which she naturally ignores. “I got a couple of Amazon gift cards for my birthday this year and was like ‘YESSS!’ It’s Ferrell’s party, and she’ll give if she wants to. 4. What did Debra Ferrell receive on her birthday? A. Messages asking for help. B. Unusual birthday wishes. C. Random gestures of kindness. D. Gifts from Love with Skin On. 5. What does Ferrell do on Pinterest? A. Share innovative ideas. B. Give away care packages. C. Purchase gifts for strangers. D. Collect money for the needy. 6. What can be concluded from the last paragraph ? A. Ferrel will hold a party. B. Ferrel cares little about her family. C. Ferrel will continue helping strangers. D. Ferrel pays for everything for her family. 7. Which of the following words can best describe Ferrell? A. Loving and tolerant. B. Selfless and independent. C. Determined and demanding. D. Generous and Warm-hearted. C A new exhibition in Paris aims to show how England in the middle ages was very much part of Europe’s dynamic art, architectural, trade and culture scene between AD1000 and AD1500. Organizers said the event would discredit the “popular perception” – mainly across the Channel – that medieval England was “primitive and barbaric”, while France and parts of Europe enjoyed a gothic zenith. James Robinson the exhibition curator, said there had been a “reassessment” of England’s contribution to European art in the middle ages over the past half a century. “I’d like to blow apart the popular perception that the middle ages were all about pestilence(plague), the Black Death and religious repression, and demonstrate the artistic and technical excellence that was evident ,” he said. “When you look at the art works in this exhibition you will see some of the true masterpieces of the age.” Unfortunately, while France and other European countries largely preserved their medieval treasures, England’s artistic heritage was “systematically and ruthlessly decimated” by the 16th -century Reformation and the revolution led by Oliver Cromwell in the 1640s. The English Reformation , after Henry VIII wrested the Church of England away from the authority of the Catholic church in Rome, saw the king’s chief minister, Thomas Cromwell, close down the monasteries, confiscating their riches and in many cases dismantling the buildings.“All things of value were spoiled, plucked away or utterly defaced…and it seemed every person was intent upon filching and spoiling what he could, ” wrote Michael Sherbrook, the 16th-century rector of Wickersley near Roche Abbey in South Yorkshire . Among the exhibits at the Paris exhibition that opens on Friday are rare treasures that escaped the 16th- and 17th -century pillage and destruction, including the Gloucester Candlestick, the Becket Casket, the Clare Chasuble, the Luck of Edenhall and the Syon Cope. Marie Lavandier, the president of France’s National Monuments Centre, said:“The exhibition highlights the extraordinary richness of the artistic exchanges that united England with continental Europe. At this moment when we are interrogating ourselves about our relationship with Europe, what the exhibition is also demonstrating is that we have always been closely tied to it in terms of commerce and diplomatic relationships.” 8.

An introduction to artistic exchanges in England D At a conference last week, I received an interesting piece of advice: “Assume you are wrong.” The advice came from Brian Nosek, a fellow psychology professor. He wasn’t objecting to any particular claim I’d made — he was offering a strategy for pursuing better science, and for encouraging others to do the same. To understand the context for Nosek’s advice, we need to take a step back — to the nature of science itself. Despite what many of us learned in elementary school, there is no single scientific method. Just as scientific theories change, so do scientific methods. Assuming you are right might be a motivating force, sustaining the enormous effort that conducting scientific work requires. But it also makes it easy to interpret criticisms as personal attacks, and for scientific arguments to develop into personal battles. Beginning, instead, from the assumption you are wrong, a criticism is easier to be viewed as a helpful pointer, a constructive suggestion for how to be less wrong — a goal that your critic probably shares. Nosek’s advice may sound pessimistic, but it’s not so foreign to science. Philosophers of science sometimes refer to the “pessimistic meta-induction (元归纳)” on the history of science: All of our past scientific theories have been wrong, so surely our current theories will turn out to be wrong, too. That doesn’t mean we haven’t made progress, but it does indicate that there is always room for improvement—ways to be less wrong. I like the advice because it builds in an awareness of our limitations and a readiness to accept the unknown (“there are things I do not know!”) along with a sense that we can do better (“there are things I do not know yet!”). It also builds in a sense of community — we’re all in the same boat when it comes to falling short of getting things right. Perhaps the focus on a shared goal — our goal as scientists and humans of being less wrong — can help make up for any harm in scientific motivation or communication. 12. Why did Nosek send the advice? A. To express opinions about my claims. B. To remind me to be open to criticism. C. To encourage me to take up science. D. To better my understanding of psychology. 13. How does assuming you are wrong help? A. It motivates scientists to make efforts. B. It addresses personal attacks and conflicts. C. It sets a constructive improvement goal. D. It contributes to a deeper insight into yourself. 14. What does the author think of science theories? A. Dynamic. B. Testable. C. Pioneering. D. Well-established. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Accept the Unknown B. Aim to Be Less Wrong C. Get Engaged in Psychology D.

They both missed the field trip last year because they could not cover the extra fee. This year, Michael’s class would arrange a field trip to the city museum and he really wanted to go. So he was trying to earn some pocket money. On this cold autumn morning, Michael gathered the last of the leaves into a small pile. There weren’t even enough to jump in. “Mom and Dad are never going to pay me for gathering this little bit of leaves.” “What are you talking about?” Greg asked, walking up behind him. “I’m trying to do some housework so I can make enough money to cover my field trip to the city museum, but there’s nothing to do around here.” Michael sighed and looked around. “You could offer to wash Mom and Dad’s cars” Greg said. Michael’s face lit up. “That’s a great idea.” “I bet some of the neighbors would pay you to wash theirs, too. It’s getting colder and no one wants to wash the cars themselves.” Greg looked his brother in the eye. Michael nodded. The air was cold. He shivered（打寒颤）at the thought of washing cars and getting wet in this cold weather. “Maybe this isn’t a good idea.” Greg placed his hand on Michael’s shoulder. “I have some golf gloves that are designed for wet, cold weather. I’ll loan you a pair, and I’ll even help you wash the cars.” “Really? You’d help me and let me keep the money?” “Sure. Golf season is over. I won’t need the extra cash for a while.” Greg disappeared inside the house. Michael asked his parents if he could wash their cars for a small fee. When they agreed, he asked some neighbors, too. Three more agreed. Michael got a bucket, some sponges（海绵）, towels and soap. Greg came back outside with the gloves. “Here you go. They’ll keep your hands warm and dry.” “Thanks.” Michael still couldn’t believe his brother was helping him earn the money like this. He had to think of a way to repay him. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 With these tools, Michael started to work. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ To Michael’s surprise, he found he earned more money than expected. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
