Items that are not allowed in student rooms include: candles, ceiling fans, fireworks, waterbeds, sun lamps and wireless routers. Please note that any prohibited items will be taken away by the Office of Residence Life. Access to Residential Rooms Students are provided with a combination (组合密码) for their room door locks upon check-in. Do not share your room door lock combination with anyone.

(住宿生活办事处如发现学生与他人共用组合密码，可随时更换，费用由住客承担)”可知，如果学生被发现与他人共享组合密码，那么该密码将会被更换。故选A项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Cooking Policy部分中“With the exception of using a small microwave oven to heat food, students are not permitted to cook in their rooms.

(所有校园宿舍最低限度的安静时间是周日至周四晚上11点至早上8点。星期五和星期六晚间的安静时间是上午1点至8点)”可知，星期六晚间0点到1点之间不用遵守安静时间的规定，因此0:30可以在宿舍享受聚会。故选D项。 B Boston wants to be smarter. The city has taken advantage of technologies to become more responsive to its residents' needs. But technology alone is not sufficient to make today's cities liveable. Boston has discovered that it also needs to reach the old-fashioned low-tech community and integrate that technology with city life. Kris Carter rolled out Boston's smart city program in 2014. It started with an App that residents could download to report locations where sidewalks needed repair. The city sorted out those reports and ranked them in a database, which repair crews used to prioritize their work. The system worked beautifully, except for one problem: most of the alerts(警报) came from wealthier neighborhoods, where the concentration of smartphone - equipped residents was highest. ＂The complaints from the App didn't always correlate with the greatest community need for repairs, " explains Carter. Carter's group has moved away from the model common to many smart city initiatives of letting tech-savvy(精通技术的）residents drive the process. Instead, they run meetings to find out what problems people in different neighborhoods care about solving. When it came to sidewalks, Boston introduced a second method of collecting repair tips, hiring people to get out and walk the city's 1,700 miles of sidewalks to take notes on their condition. Whether using low-tech or high-tech approaches, says Carter, to stay smart, a city needs to continually reassess its options to spot opportunities to improve residents' lives. Take the sidewalk repair program, walking on the streets was proved a useful, if inefficient way to prioritize repair needs. But last year the group found that walkers' mobile phones could be tracked as they moved along the streets, and that data could be analyzed to identify sidewalk routes which are most often used by neighborhoods. “Combined with our other sidewalk information, that gave us an even better way to predict where faster repairs would do the most good," says Carter,"We're really always looking for whatever mix of approaches best solves the problem." 4. What is the first paragraph mainly about? A. The citizens' life. B. The city's reputation. C. The city's management. D. The benefits of technology. 5. What problem did Kris Carter's team meet when carrying out their program? A. They faced many technical obstacles. B. They couldn't serve all residents well. C. They were not supported by residents. D. They were annoyed by being short-staffed. 6. Which of the following might Kris Carter most agree with? A. Maximizing the benefits of technology. B. Mixing approaches for solving problems. C. Giving full play to the power of residents. D. Letting tech companies be a leading role. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Smart City: More Than Just Tech B. A City with Intelligent Facilities C. Joint-effort in City Construction D. The Modernization of a City 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文，文章介绍了波士顿在利用高科技管理城的同时使用传统办法以实现城市有效管理，成就现代智慧城市。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“But technology alone is not sufficient to make today's cities livable. Boston has discovered that it also needs to reach the old-fashioned low-tech community and integrate that technology with city life.”但是，仅仅依靠技术还不足以使今天的城市适合居住。波士顿发现，它还需要接触到传统的低智能化社区，并将这种技术与城市生活结合起来。本段主要讲述了波士顿力争成为智慧城市，使用高科技更充分地回应市民的需求，同时，城市也注重加强传统低智能化社区科技与生活的融合。所以第一段主要是关于城市的管理。故选C。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。由第三段最后一句“The complaints from the App didn’t always correlate with the greatest community need for repairs, explains Garter.”嘉德解释说，来自应用程序的投诉并不总是与最大的社区维修需求相关。根据第四段“Carter's group has moved away from the model common to many smart city initiatives of letting tech-savvy(精通技术的）residents drive the process. Instead, they run meetings to find out what problems people in different neighborhoods care about solving”可知，卡特的团队已经摆脱了许多智能城市倡议的共同模式，即让精通技术的居民来推动这一进程。相反，他们召开会议，找出不同社区的人关心解决的问题。克里斯卡特的团队在执行他们的计划时遇到的问题是不能为所有市民很好地服务，故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。由最后一段最后一句“We're really always looking for whatever ever mix of approaches best solves the problem.”我们一直在寻找各种方法的最佳组合来解决问题可知，Carter想要寻找高科技技术与传统方法融合的方式来满足城市管理的需要，故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意类。文章主要介绍了波士顿在提高城市智能程度的过程中，既充分利用高科技，又充分使用传统方法，以满足所有市民的需要，它是一座不仅仅以高科技来成就的智慧城市，所以短文的最佳标题为“ 智能城市：不仅仅靠技术”。故选A。 C Can you imagine there being a community where boys and girls growing up together can finally speak different languages? In Ubang Nigeria, it really happens. It’s not exactly clear what percentage of the words in the men’s and women’s languages are different, but there are enough examples to make sentences sound different when spoken by the opposite sex. For “clothing”, men use the word “nki”, while women say “ariga”; “kitchi” means tree for men, while women say “okweng”. These are not just some slight pronunciation differences, but totally different words. “It’s almost like two different lexicons (词汇集),” a language expert, Chi Chi Undle said. “There are a lot of words that men and women share in common, but there are others which are totally different depending on your sex. They don’t sound alike, and don’t have the same letters. They are completely different words.” Interestingly, both men and women are able to understand each other perfectly in Ubang, as both boys and girls grow up around their parents and get to learn both languages, but by the age of 10, boys are expected to speak in the male tongue. It seems that there is a stage the male will reach and he discovers he is not using the rightful language. When he starts speaking the men’s language, you know the maturity is coming into him. No one really knows how or why the double-language tradition of Ubang began. Chi Chi Undie believes the two languages are the result of a “double-sex culture” where men and women operate in two separate spheres (范围) and live in separate worlds that rarely come together. However, she admits this is a weak theory, as the double-sex culture is present in many parts of Africa, where there are no different languages for men and women. Today, with English words constantly entering the lexicon of young Nigerians, Ubang’s two languages are in danger of being lost forever. Worse still, neither the male nor female language is written down, so they both rely on young people passing them down to the next generation. 8. What do we know about languages in Ubang? A. Word differences account for a high percentage. B. Men and women speak totally different languages. C. Word differences partly exist between the opposite sex. D. Men and women pronounce differently on the same word. 9. Why can me and women understand each other easily in Ubang? A. Their lexicons sound alike. B. They learn both languages at school. C. The men can speak two different languages. D. They are exposed to both languages in their childhood. 10. What does Chi Chi Undie want to explore in Paragraph 3? A. The change of double-sex culture. B. The theory of doube-sex culture. C. The origin of double-language tradition. D. The sphere of double-language tradition. 11. How does the author feel about the disappearing languages in Ubang? A. Frightened. B. Concerned. C. Confused. D. Stressed. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了尼日利亚乌邦语的特点，男性和女性的语言在词汇上有一定的差别。文章分析了这种语言现象的原因，特点以及这种语言现象存在即将消失的危险。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段““There are a lot of words that men and women share in common, but there are others which are totally different depending on your sex. They don’t sound alike, and don’t have the same letters. They are completely different words.”(“有很多男人和女人共用的词汇，但根据你的性别，有些词完全不同。它们听起来不一样，字母也不一样。它们是完全不同的词。”)”可知，尼日利亚乌邦语中，女性和男性在词汇上有很大的不同，即：在尼日利亚乌邦语中，部分词汇因性别不同而不同。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句话“Interestingly, both men and women are able to understand each other perfectly in Ubang, as both boys and girls grow up around their parents and get to learn both languages, but by the age of 10, boys are expected to speak in the male tongue.(有趣的是，在乌邦，男人和女人都能完全理解对方，因为男孩和女孩都在父母身边长大，学习两种语言，但到10岁时，男孩预计会说男性语言)”可知，在乌邦，女人和男人能够完全理解对方，是因为他们在童年时是在这种语言环境中长大的。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段第一句话“No one really knows how or why the double-language tradition of Ubang began. (没有人真正知道乌邦的双语传统是如何或为什么开始的）”可推知，Chi Chi Undie想在第三段中探讨乌邦双语传统的起源。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Worse still, neither the male nor female language is written down, so they both rely on young people passing them down to the next generation.(更糟糕的是，男性和女性语言都没有被记录下来，因此他们都依赖年轻人将其传给下一代)”可推知，作者担心乌邦的双语传统会消失。故选B。 D It was a cold Saturday night in February. Some 200 New Yorkers carefully made their way to the reservoir (水库) in the hopes of catching a glimpse of the magical snowy owl, who had touched down in the park the week before in what was reported as the first visit there by the species in more than 130 years. Except for a few excited screams from children, people were quiet — patiently awaiting the owl’s arrival at the reservoir’s north gatehouse. The snowy owl did not disappoint. She flew down from the darkness and surveyed the water and the people holding phones and cameras before taking off into the night to the applause of her many fans. They simply wanted to see this lovely creature whose improbable appearance seemed to signify hope after the lockdown. New Yorkers who had long taken Central Park for granted felt a renewed love for this rectangle of green in the heart of the big city and, of course, its amazing wildlife. That the park is a beautiful and essential refuge is something that humans have only come to fully appreciate during these recent times of uncertainty. Central Park was originally planned and constructed during another difficult time in the nation’s history — in the years before and during the American Civil War. Unlike many European parks that had originally been built for the aristocracy (贵族), Central Park was designed as a public space. In its chief architect Frederick Law Olmsted’s words, the poor and rich alike could “easily go there after their day’s work is done” and “stroll for an hour, seeing, hearing, and feeling nothing of the noise of the streets.” As spring turns into summer, we see people sitting on the grass or benches — catching some sun, having family picnics, or tapping away on their laptops and iPads. Just being in proximity to other people in Central Park gave us a sense of community — the sense that we would somehow persevere. 12. What did people do in Central Park on that Saturday night? A. They cheered for each other. B. They paid their first visit. C. They came for a rare sight. D. They appreciated a water event. 13. What does the author mainly intend to do in Paragraph 4? A. Give some examples. B. Make a comparison. C. Introduce a new opinion. D. Add background information. 14. What do the underlined words “in proximity to” in Paragraph 5 mean? A. close to B. free from C. at a distance from D. in comparison with 15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. Find Refuge in Central Park B. Take Your Breath by Snow Owl C. Trace Central Park to difficult times D. Meet an improbable “visitor” in person 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. A 【解析】 【导语】文章是记叙文。开篇以200名纽约人在水库观赏神奇雪鸮为开头，引出文章的主题中央公园。揭示了长期以来，纽约人一直把中央公园视为城市的中心，更是神奇野生动物的家园。同时交代了中央公园建设的历史背景，不论是战争年代，还是和平年代，中央公园已然成为了纽约人的归属感的代表和象征。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Some 200 New Yorkers carefully made their way to the reservoir (水库) in the hopes of catching a glimpse of the magical snowy owl.”(200名纽约人小心翼翼地来到水库，希望能一睹这只神奇的雪鸮的模样。)以及“as the first visit there by the species in more than 130 years.”(该物种130多年来首次来到这里。)可知，人们在周六的晚上来到中心公园主要了是观看一只130多年来首次来到这里的雪鸮。故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Central Park was originally planned and constructed during another difficult time in the nation’s history—in the years before and during the American Civil War.”(中央公园最初是在美国历史上的另一个艰难时期——美国内战前和内战期间——规划和建造的。)可知，第四段交代了中央公园建设的特殊历史时期，为文章讲述中央公园交代了历史背景。故选D。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段中“gave us a sense of community — the sense that we would somehow persevere.”(给了我们一种归属的感觉——一种我们会以某种方式坚持下去的感觉。)可知，句中的community意为“归属感”，只有人们之间近距离接触的时候才会有归属感，A选项意为“接近”，符合题意。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文可知，揭示了长期以来，纽约人一直把中央公园视为城市的中心，更是神奇野生动物的家园。同时交代了中央公园建设的历史背景，不论是战争年代，还是和平年代，中央公园已然成为了纽约人的归属感的代表和象征。以及根据最后一段中“Just being in proximity to other people in Central Park gave us a sense of community—the sense that we would somehow persevere.”(在中央公园和其他人近距离接触给了我们一种归属的感觉——一种我们会以某种方式坚持下去的感觉。)可知，人们在中央公园中能够找到人们坚持下去的归属感。表明中央公园为纽约人提供了精神慰藉。与A选项“在中央公园找寻慰藉”符合题意。故选A。 三、七选五(每题2.5分，共12.5分) Perhaps you know two people would get on well—if only they would speak to each other. Your shy friends aren’t intentionally avoiding one another; it is just not in their nature to strike up a conversation. You can help things along by greasing (润滑) the wheels of social interaction. ____16____ In fact, they might both be grateful that you helped them get past the initial awkwardness. Make Introductions The first step to getting two shy people to talk to one another is to offer an introduction. ____17____ If you see two shy people sitting together but not talking, walk over and offer an ice breaker. A brief introduction with a piece of information that ties the two shy people together will be most helpful. Ease Anxiety ____18____ As they talk, an inner thought tells them that they are not good enough, smart enough or funny enough. They think that everyone else is judging them and that they never measure up. You may be able to help two shy people overcome this social hurdle by building their social confidence and belief that they are mutually (相互地) liked. Find Mutual Interests Give your shy friends a reason to talk. Figure out what they have in common and let them know about it. For example, if Josh and David are both into watching the UFC, make an introduction and a comment about the latest fight. ____19____ But once the two shy people are absorbed in their favorite topic, you can quietly slip away. Get Active Shy people have trouble living in the moment. They tend to think about past weaknesses or worry about future social obstacles rather than focus on the current situation. Put your shy friends in a situation that forces them to stop thinking so much and have a little fun. Ideally, your shy acquaintances should have to work together to overcome an obstacle—similar to what happens at company party. ____20____ A. Some shy people are their own worst critics. B. Most shy people are hesitant to offer a handshake or a name. C. You might need to include yourself in the conversation at first. D. Don’t worry that your shy friends will feel that you are interfering. E. Promote the conversation by easing the anxiety shared by your shy friends. F. They will come away with a shared experience and hopefully a tighter bond. G. Getting to know the likes and dislikes of your shy friends will make this easier. 【答案】16. D 17. B 18. A 19. C 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如何帮助害羞的朋友参与社交。 【16题详解】 根据下文“In fact, they might both be grateful that you helped them get past the initial awkwardness.(事实上，他们可能都很感激你帮他们度过了最初的尴尬)”中in fact可知，下文是对上文一些主观的、非事实性的猜测进行澄清，上下文有转折关系，且下文中会出现指示代词they的指代对象，D项“Don’t worry that your shy friends will feel that you are interfering. (不要担心你害羞的朋友会觉得你在干涉他们)”提出你可能担心害羞的朋友会觉得你在干涉他们，但下文对此进行澄清，他们不但不会觉得你在干涉他们，反而会感激你帮他们度过了最初的尴尬，且D项中出现了they的指代对象your shy friends，上下文语意连贯。故选D项。 【17题详解】 上文“The first step to getting two shy people to talk to one another is to offer an introduction. (让两个害羞的人相互交谈的第一步是自我介绍)”提出offer an introduction，B项“Most shy people are hesitant to offer a handshake or a name.(大多数害羞的人都不太愿意和他握手或给他起个名字)”对intorduction的内容进行说明，包括offer a handshake or a name，上下文语意连贯。故选B项。 【18题详解】 下文“As they talk, an inner thought tells them that they are not good enough, smart enough or funny enough. (当他们交谈时，一个内在的思想告诉他们自己，他们不够好，不够聪明，不够有趣)”讲到一些人的自我否定，结合句中指示代词they可知，设空句中会出现其指代对象，A项“Some shy people are their own worst critics.(有些害羞的人是他们自己最严重的批评者)”说害羞的人是他们自己最严重的批评者，下文正是对这种自我批评内容的说明，下文中的they即A项中的Some shy people。故选A项。 【19题详解】 下文“But once the two shy people are absorbed in their favorite topic, you can quietly slip away.(但一旦这两个害羞的人专注于他们喜欢的话题，你就可以悄悄溜走)”讲一旦害羞的人开始自己交流，你就可以离开了，根据句中转折连词But可知，上文与其有转折关系，C项“You might need to include yourself in the conversation at first.(一开始你可能需要让自己参与到对话中)”讲开始的时候你需要参与害羞的人的对话，与下文构成转折，且句中“include yourself in”与“slip away”形成对比，上下文语意连贯。故选C项。 【20题详解】 上文“Shy people have trouble living in the moment. They tend to think about past weaknesses or worry about future social obstacles rather than focus on the current situation.(害羞的人很难活在当下。他们倾向于思考过去的弱点或担心未来的社会障碍，而不是关注当前的情况)”先讲害羞的人遇到的问题，接着“Put your shy friends in a situation that forces them to stop thinking so much and have a little fun.(让你的害羞的朋友们置身于一种情境中，迫使他们停止思考太多，享受一点乐趣)”提出解决问题的办法，然后和“Ideally, your shy acquaintances should have to work together to overcome an obstacle — similar to what happens at company party. (理想情况下，你的害羞的熟人应该一起努力克服一个障碍，就像在公司聚会上发生的那样)”给出理想状态下的效果，F项“They will come away with a shared experience and hopefully a tighter bond.(他们离开时会有共同的经历，并有希望建立更紧密的关系)”承接上文，提出未来的可能，上下文语意连贯。故选F项。 四、完形填空(每题1分，共15分) Gurnah, growing up in Zanzibar, an island off the coast of Tanzania, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature on Thursday.

His two sons, Danny, 6, and Claus, 3, followed behind. As they headed for the house, the two boys ran ahead of their father, who stopped to close the gate. Danny paused at an old well. Unknown to him, the board covering the well had grown easily broken over time. When Danny stepped on it, it caved in. Steve had just finished locking the gate when he turned around and saw only his younger son. “Where’s Danny?” he shouted. “He fell in the hole!” Claus said. Steve quickly realized what had happened. Danny could barely swim! He ran to the well and heard Danny screaming quite way below. Desperately, he jumped in . Steve hit the freezing water at the bottom of the well. He lifted his head out of the water and grabbed Danny, who was panicked, trying to stay afloat in water that was too deep for either of them to stand. Knowing they could float in the ice-cold water for only a short time, Steve pulled his son up onto his chest and tried all means to stand upright with two legs against the narrow well walls for support. His body was still partly submerged (淹没). “Dad, you can pull us out now,” Danny said. If only it were that easy. There was no way he could climb out. Looking up to see Claus looking down at them from the top of the well, Steve shouted, “Claus, you’re going to have to be a big boy and save us. You have to go out to the road and get someone to help. OK?” “OK, Daddy.” Claus yelled and ran to the road. 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。 About 15 minutes later, Edmen and Sam, their neighbors, were driving by Steve’s farm when they noticed Claus alone by the side of the road, waving. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Forty-some minutes after he’d jumped into the well to save his son, Steve came out, cold and wet. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: About 15 minutes later, Edmon and Sam, their neighbors, were driving by Steve’s farm when they noticed Claus alone by the side of the road, waving. Hearing the accident from Claus, they picked him up and sped to Steve’s house. Upon arrival, Edmon quickly jumped off the truck and grabbed a long thick rope. Then he and Sam rushed to the well. “Steve,” Edmon shouted, “We’re going to send a rope down to you.” “OK, I’ll send Danny up first.” Steve shouted back, freezing down there. With the rope tied around, the boy was pulled out first. Forty-some minutes after he’d jumped into the well to save his son, Steve came out, cold and wet. Just as his neighbors reached out to grab him, he collapsed to the ground. Struggling to his feet, Steve hugged his neighbors tightly, whispering “You save our lives! Thank you!” For him, words couldn’t express his gratitude for their timely rescue and they were his good neighbors forever. “Daddy!” Danny and Claus cried, rushing to Steve. Steve held them tightly in arms, cherishing them like never before, and tears welled up in the eyes of this tough guy. 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了一个关于救援的故事。主人公史蒂夫喂完马后，和两个儿子丹尼和克劳斯一起回家。在史蒂夫停下来关门时，丹尼踩在覆盖在井上的木板上，由于木板老化断裂，他掉进了井里。因为丹尼几乎不会游泳，史蒂夫立即跳入井里救他，但因为水太深，两人都站不住，无法逃出。史蒂夫让井口的克劳斯去找人求助，克劳斯答应了，立即跑向马路。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“大约15分钟后，他们的邻居埃德蒙和萨姆开车经过史蒂夫的农场时，他们注意到克劳斯独自一人在路边挥手。”可知，第一段可描写埃德蒙和萨姆是如何对史蒂夫和丹尼进行救援的。 ②由第二段首句内容“史蒂夫跳进井里救儿子四十多分钟后，他出来了，浑身又冷又湿。”可知，第二段可描写史蒂夫获救后与儿子的交流和对邻居的感激。 2.续写线索：展开救援——丹尼获救——继续救援——史蒂夫获救——感激邻居——更加珍惜家人 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.一到，在到达时：upon arrival/as soon as sb. arrive (arrives/arrived) ②.抓住，抓起：grab/catch hold of ③.拥抱：hug/embrace 情绪类 ①.感激：gratitude/appreciation ②.珍爱某人：cherish sb./love sb. dearly 【点睛】[高分句型1].

The city has taken advantage of technologies to become more responsive to its residents' needs. But technology alone is not sufficient to make today's cities liveable. Boston has discovered that it also needs to reach the old-fashioned low-tech community and integrate that technology with city life. Kris Carter rolled out Boston's smart city program in 2014. It started with an App that residents could download to report locations where sidewalks needed repair. The city sorted out those reports and ranked them in a database, which repair crews used to prioritize their work. The system worked beautifully, except for one problem: most of the alerts(警报) came from wealthier neighborhoods, where the concentration of smartphone - equipped residents was highest. ＂The complaints from the App didn't always correlate with the greatest community need for repairs, " explains Carter. Carter's group has moved away from the model common to many smart city initiatives of letting tech-savvy(精通技术的）residents drive the process. Instead, they run meetings to find out what problems people in different neighborhoods care about solving. When it came to sidewalks, Boston introduced a second method of collecting repair tips, hiring people to get out and walk the city's 1,700 miles of sidewalks to take notes on their condition. Whether using low-tech or high-tech approaches, says Carter, to stay smart, a city needs to continually reassess its options to spot opportunities to improve residents' lives. Take the sidewalk repair program, walking on the streets was proved a useful, if inefficient way to prioritize repair needs. But last year the group found that walkers' mobile phones could be tracked as they moved along the streets, and that data could be analyzed to identify sidewalk routes which are most often used by neighborhoods. “Combined with our other sidewalk information, that gave us an even better way to predict where faster repairs would do the most good," says Carter,"We're really always looking for whatever mix of approaches best solves the problem." 4. What is the first paragraph mainly about? A. The citizens' life. B. The city's reputation. C The city's management. D. The benefits of technology. 5. What problem did Kris Carter's team meet when carrying out their program? A. They faced many technical obstacles. B. They couldn't serve all residents well. C. They were not supported by residents. D. They were annoyed by being short-staffed. 6. Which of the following might Kris Carter most agree with? A. Maximizing the benefits of technology. B. Mixing approaches for solving problems. C. Giving full play to the power of residents. D. Letting tech companies be a leading role. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Smart City: More Than Just Tech B. A City with Intelligent Facilities C. Joint-effort in City Construction D. The Modernization of a City C Can you imagine there being a community where boys and girls growing up together can finally speak different languages? In Ubang Nigeria, it really happens. It’s not exactly clear what percentage of the words in the men’s and women’s languages are different, but there are enough examples to make sentences sound different when spoken by the opposite sex. For “clothing”, men use the word “nki”, while women say “ariga”; “kitchi” means tree for men, while women say “okweng”. These are not just some slight pronunciation differences, but totally different words. “It’s almost like two different lexicons (词汇集),” a language expert, Chi Chi Undle said. “There are a lot of words that men and women share in common, but there are others which are totally different depending on your sex. They don’t sound alike, and don’t have the same letters. They are completely different words.” Interestingly, both men and women are able to understand each other perfectly in Ubang, as both boys and girls grow up around their parents and get to learn both languages, but by the age of 10, boys are expected to speak in the male tongue. It seems that there is a stage the male will reach and he discovers he is not using the rightful language. When he starts speaking the men’s language, you know the maturity is coming into him. No one really knows how or why the double-language tradition of Ubang began. Chi Chi Undie believes the two languages are the result of a “double-sex culture” where men and women operate in two separate spheres (范围) and live in separate worlds that rarely come together. However, she admits this is a weak theory, as the double-sex culture is present in many parts of Africa, where there are no different languages for men and women. Today, with English words constantly entering the lexicon of young Nigerians, Ubang’s two languages are in danger of being lost forever. Worse still, neither the male nor female language is written down, so they both rely on young people passing them down to the next generation. 8. What do we know about languages in Ubang? A. Word differences account for a high percentage. B. Men and women speak totally different languages. C. Word differences partly exist between the opposite sex. D. Men and women pronounce differently on the same word. 9. Why can me and women understand each other easily in Ubang? A. Their lexicons sound alike. B. They learn both languages at school. C. The men can speak two different languages. D. They are exposed to both languages in their childhood. 10. What does Chi Chi Undie want to explore in Paragraph 3? A. The change of double-sex culture. B. The theory of doube-sex culture. C. The origin of double-language tradition. D. The sphere of double-language tradition. 11. How does the author feel about the disappearing languages in Ubang? A. Frightened. B. Concerned. C. Confused. D. Stressed. D It was a cold Saturday night in February. Some 200 New Yorkers carefully made their way to the reservoir (水库) in the hopes of catching a glimpse of the magical snowy owl, who had touched down in the park the week before in what was reported as the first visit there by the species in more than 130 years. Except for a few excited screams from children, people were quiet — patiently awaiting the owl’s arrival at the reservoir’s north gatehouse. The snowy owl did not disappoint. She flew down from the darkness and surveyed the water and the people holding phones and cameras before taking off into the night to the applause of her many fans. They simply wanted to see this lovely creature whose improbable appearance seemed to signify hope after the lockdown. New Yorkers who had long taken Central Park for granted felt a renewed love for this rectangle of green in the heart of the big city and, of course, its amazing wildlife. That the park is a beautiful and essential refuge is something that humans have only come to fully appreciate during these recent times of uncertainty. Central Park was originally planned and constructed during another difficult time in the nation’s history — in the years before and during the American Civil War. Unlike many European parks that had originally been built for the aristocracy (贵族), Central Park was designed as a public space. In its chief architect Frederick Law Olmsted’s words, the poor and rich alike could “easily go there after their day’s work is done” and “stroll for an hour, seeing, hearing, and feeling nothing of the noise of the streets.” As spring turns into summer, we see people sitting on the grass or benches — catching some sun, having family picnics, or tapping away on their laptops and iPads. Just being in proximity to other people in Central Park gave us a sense of community — the sense that we would somehow persevere. 12. What did people do in Central Park on that Saturday night? A. They cheered for each other. B. They paid their first visit. C. They came for a rare sight. D. They appreciated a water event. 13. What does the author mainly intend to do in Paragraph 4? A. Give some examples. B. Make a comparison. C. Introduce a new opinion. D. Add background information. 14. What do the underlined words “in proximity to” in Paragraph 5 mean? A. close to B. free from C. at a distance from D. in comparison with 15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. Find Refuge in Central Park B. Take Your Breath by Snow Owl C. Trace Central Park to difficult times D. Meet an improbable “visitor” in person 三、七选五(每题2.5分，共12.5分) Perhaps you know two people would get on well—if only they would speak to each other. Your shy friends aren’t intentionally avoiding one another; it is just not in their nature to strike up a conversation. You can help things along by greasing (润滑) the wheels of social interaction. ____16____ In fact, they might both be grateful that you helped them get past the initial awkwardness. Make Introductions The first step to getting two shy people to talk to one another is to offer an introduction. ____17____ If you see two shy people sitting together but not talking, walk over and offer an ice breaker. A brief introduction with a piece of information that ties the two shy people together will be most helpful. Ease Anxiety ____18____ As they talk, an inner thought tells them that they are not good enough, smart enough or funny enough. They think that everyone else is judging them and that they never measure up. You may be able to help two shy people overcome this social hurdle by building their social confidence and belief that they are mutually (相互地) liked. Find Mutual Interests Give your shy friends a reason to talk. Figure out what they have in common and let them know about it. For example, if Josh and David are both into watching the UFC, make an introduction and a comment about the latest fight. ____19____ But once the two shy people are absorbed in their favorite topic, you can quietly slip away. Get Active Shy people have trouble living in the moment. They tend to think about past weaknesses or worry about future social obstacles rather than focus on the current situation. Put your shy friends in a situation that forces them to stop thinking so much and have a little fun. Ideally, your shy acquaintances should have to work together to overcome an obstacle—similar to what happens at company party. ____20____ A. Some shy people are their own worst critics. B. Most shy people are hesitant to offer a handshake or a name. C. You might need to include yourself in the conversation at first. D. Don’t worry that your shy friends will feel that you are interfering. E. Promote the conversation by easing the anxiety shared by your shy friends. F They will come away with a shared experience and hopefully a tighter bond. G Getting to know the likes and dislikes of your shy friends will make this easier. 四、完形填空(每题1分，共15分) Gurnah, growing up in Zanzibar, an island off the coast of Tanzania, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature on Thursday.

His two sons, Danny, 6, and Claus, 3, followed behind. As they headed for the house, the two boys ran ahead of their father, who stopped to close the gate. Danny paused at an old well. Unknown to him, the board covering the well had grown easily broken over time. When Danny stepped on it, it caved in. Steve had just finished locking the gate when he turned around and saw only his younger son. “Where’s Danny?” he shouted. “He fell in the hole!” Claus said. Steve quickly realized what had happened. Danny could barely swim! He ran to the well and heard Danny screaming quite way below. Desperately, he jumped in . Steve hit the freezing water at the bottom of the well. He lifted his head out of the water and grabbed Danny, who was panicked, trying to stay afloat in water that was too deep for either of them to stand. Knowing they could float in the ice-cold water for only a short time, Steve pulled his son up onto his chest and tried all means to stand upright with two legs against the narrow well walls for support. His body was still partly submerged (淹没). “Dad, you can pull us out now,” Danny said. If only it were that easy. There was no way he could climb out. Looking up to see Claus looking down at them from the top of the well, Steve shouted, “Claus, you’re going to have to be a big boy and save us. You have to go out to the road and get someone to help. OK?” “OK, Daddy.” Claus yelled and ran to the road. 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。 About 15 minutes later, Edmen and Sam, their neighbors, were driving by Steve’s farm when they noticed Claus alone by the side of the road, waving. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Forty-some minutes after he’d jumped into the well to save his son, Steve came out, cold and wet. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1-5 CBCBA 6-10 BBABA 11-15 BBCCA 16-20 ACCAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
