He faced low expectations and numerous barriers to pursuing his dream. His school didn’t offer the advanced science classes that might have led him on a premed (医学预科班) path, so he set aside thoughts of becoming a doctor. He had started it at the age of 19, working alone out of a rented bay in a friend’s garage. Over the years, it had grown into two shops with 11 employees, but Allamby had become anxious, longing for something more. So at the age of 34, he decided to go for his bachelor’s degree in business management. After taking classes part-time over the next five years, Allamby was told he had to take biology to get his degree. Biology class awakened a childhood dream within himself. With the support of his wife and family, he soon decided to skip business school in favor of the science classes he’d need for a second career as a health-care worker. Becoming a doctor when he would be approaching the age of 50 was clearly crazy. He would instead become a nurse or a physician assistant like his wife, he thought. But Allamby’s chemistry professor encouraged him to pursue his dream to be a doctor. And so in 2015, Allamby started at Northeast Ohio Medical University. In 2019, at the age of 47, Carl Allamby became Carl Allamby, MD. Now Allamby is a second-year resident. “How many people can do something so brand-new and have so much stimulation and responsibility at such a late stage in their life?” he says, “I am told that I shouldn’t be a doctor. Whether it’s because of my age, my race, my upbringing, or my past career, these are all good reasons why I shouldn’t be here. And yet, here I am.” 4. What made Carl fail to become a doctor when he was young? A. No social barriers. B. Parents’ being jobless. C. High expectations from his parents. D. No advanced science classes in his school. 5. What awakened Carl’s childhood dream? A. Chemistry class. B. Business class. C. Biology class. D. His professor’s encouragement. 6. Why did Carl skip business school? A. To attend science classes. B. To manage his shops. C. To take part-time classes. D. To support his family. 7. Which of the following can best describe Carl? A. Caring. B. Determined C. Honest. D. Good-tempered. 【答案】4 D 5. C 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了出身贫寒的Carl Allamby克服重重困难，实现了自己儿时的医生梦。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“His school didn’t offer the advanced science classes that might have led him on a premed (医学预科班) path, so he set aside thoughts of becoming a doctor.(他的学校没有提供可能让他走上医学预科班道路的高级科学课程，所以他放弃了当医生的想法)”可知，Carl年轻的时候没能成为医生，是因为学校没有高级科学课程，导致他放弃了医生梦。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“Biology class awakened a childhood dream within himself.(生物课唤醒了他童年的梦想)”可知，生物课使Carl重拾童年的梦想。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“With the support of his wife and family, he soon decided to skip business school in favor of the science classes he’d need for a second career as a health-care worker.(在妻子和家人的支持下，他很快决定不去商学院，改上第二份职业医疗保健工作所需的科学课程)”可知，Carl不去商学院的原因是要去上科学课。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段Carl所说的话“I am told that I shouldn’t be a doctor. Whether it’s because of my age, my race, my upbringing, or my past career, these are all good reasons why I shouldn’t be here. And yet, here I am.(我被告知不应该当医生。无论是因为我的年龄、种族、成长经历还是过去的职业，这些都是我不应该出现在这里的好理由。然而，我来了)”可知，尽管遭受诸多质疑，但Carl依旧完成了自己的医生梦，可见他是位意志坚定，有决心的人。故选B。 【点睛】 C Advances in digital technology, including computers, smartphones, and mobile apps, have changed the way people communicate and learn at home and in classrooms around the world. Now, an international team of researchers are working to ensure that this changing educational landscape will help to support literacy (读写能力) in deaf children. “We’re using digital technology to encourage children to learn,” said Leandro F1órez-Aristizábal. Leandro and his co-workers are working to design and test a storytelling app for sign language-speaking deaf children. They began by designing a series of black and white cards describing images. A single student would change the order of the cards he or she chose and then tell the story to the rest of the class through sign language. The researchers conducted a case study with 5th graders. One thing that attracted the researchers as they watched the performances was the response of other students in the classroom. As one student was chosen to change the order of the cards, other students got up and began offering suggestions about a general storyline. Then, the researchers added details and colors to the cards and tested those out with kids. Finally, they changed the colorful cards to digital form. And the kids appeared to love it. The researchers reported that children’s motivation (动力) increased when technology was part of the activity. They had more impressive performances. While their original target audience at the moment are deaf children, Leandro says the app might also find use as a means for hearing kids to learn sign language. “We started with deafness, but we don’t want to stop there,” Leandro said. “We want to invite other researchers to join us on this journey and to help us develop improved functions to serve other disabilities and other educational goals. In this way, we’re trying to fill the gap with them. Finally, we want to forget about disabilities and think about different abilities.” 8. How did Leandro and his co-workers carry out their study? A. By testing deaf children’s learning habits. B. By inviting students to design images. C. By introducing a new sign language. D. By taking a storytelling approach. 9. What interested the researchers about the students in the study? A. They were full of curiosity. B. They were good storytellers. C. They actively helped each other. D. They had an excellent memory. 10. What did the researchers find out in the study? A. Kids preferred to play fun games before class. B. Deaf kids could communicate with others well. C. Digital technology benefited the kids’ performances. D. Digital technology took kids’ attention away from their studies. 11. What does Leandro mainly want to express in the last paragraph? A. He plans to widen the usage of the app. B. He is faced with new challenges in the research. C. He expects other researchers to play a leading role. D. He calls on people to care about disabled children. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了Leandro F1órez-Aristizábal和其同事正在为说手语的聋哑儿童设计和测试一个讲故事的应用程序，文章解释了他们是如何开发这一程序以及对程序未来的一些期望。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“They began by designing a series of black and white cards describing images. A single student would change the order of the cards he or she chose and then tell the story to the rest of the class through sign language.(他们首先设计了一系列描述图像的黑白卡片。一个学生将改变他或她选择的卡片的顺序，然后通过手语把故事讲给班上的其他人听)”可知，莱安德罗和他的同事采用讲故事的方法进行他们的研究。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“One thing that attracted the researchers as they watched the performances was the response of other students in the classroom. As one student was chosen to change the order of the cards, other students got up and began offering suggestions about a general storyline.(在观看表演时，吸引研究人员的一件事是教室里其他学生的反应。当一名学生被选中改变卡片的顺序时，其他学生站起来，开始就一个大致的故事情节提出建议)”可知，研究人员对研究中的学生感兴趣的是他们积极地互相帮助。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The researchers reported that children’s motivation (动力) increased when technology was part of the activity.(研究人员报告说，当科技成为活动的一部分时，孩子们的动机会增加)”可知，研究人员在研究中发现数字技术有利于孩子们的表现。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“While their original target audience at the moment are deaf children, Leandro says the app might also find use as a means for hearing kids to learn sign language. “We started with deafness, but we don’t want to stop there,” Leandro said. “We want to invite other researchers to join us on this journey and to help us develop improved functions to serve other disabilities and other educational goals. In this way, we’re trying to fill the gap with them. Finally, we want to forget about disabilities and think about different abilities.”(虽然目前他们最初的目标受众是聋哑儿童，但莱安德罗说，这款应用也可以作为听力正常的孩子学习手语的一种手段。“我们从耳聋开始，但我们不想就此止步，”Leandro说。“我们希望邀请其他研究人员加入我们的旅程，帮助我们开发更好的功能，以服务于其他残疾人和其他教育目标。通过这种方式，我们试图填补他们的空白。最后，我们想要忘记残疾，思考不同的能力。”)”可知，Leandro在最后一段主要想表达他计划扩大这款应用的使用范围。故选A。 D It’s said that about one third of the world’s citizens live in substandard housing. But researchers have created free plans now available online for building houses using pre-made parts that fit together perfectly, which could help solve this housing problem. The world population is expected to grow to more than 8 billion by 2030, and the housing situation in city is already a huge problem. Building new homes in the traditional way still takes weeks or months. In a London neighborhood, a group of volunteers are constructing a house made of pre-made plywood panels (预制胶合板面板) and parts, the so-called WikiHouse. All parts were precisely cut in a Computer Numerical Control, or CNC machine, following a free plan downloaded from the Internet. Founder of the UK-based on WikiHouse Foundation, architectural designer Alastair Parvin, said this could be the solution for affordable housing. WikiHouse is essentially a series of technologies we’re developing aimed at simplifying the process of making really sustainable high-performance houses to a point where almost anyone can do it. Precise cutting allows a perfect fit for all parts, which speeds up the process of assembly (装配). No special tools are required. The WikiHouse was built in 10 days for exhibition purposes. Then, it was taken apart and reassembled elsewhere for permanent use. “Open-source (开源)software is now really established; it drives a lot of the software we use,” Parvin said. “What's happening now is that that's coming into the world of physical things, so we're effectively building a kind of Wikipedia for physical material.” Parvin said the project is in its early stages, with limited availability. But he said he expects it to grow as more people start showing interest in houses whose assembly requires no special skills. 12. What does the author think of the housing situation in urban centers? A. Serious. B. Acceptable. C. Good. D. Common. 13. Why is Alastair Parvin developing Wiki- House? A. Because it looks more beautiful. B. Because it saves the trouble of designing. C. Because workers are fond of the work. D. Because it makes the process of making houses simple. 14. Which is one of the advantages of the WikiHouse? A. It is solid. B. It takes up little room. C. It saves time. D. It is environmentally friendly. 15. Judging from the last two paragraphs, we know_. A. Parvin is cautious about using open-source software B. Parvin thinks WikiHouse technology is mature C. Parvin is optimistic about the future of WikiHouse D. Parvin is trying his best to make Wiki-House cheaper 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍为了解决城市居民的住房问题，一种新的房屋建造技术WikiHouse应运而生。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第二段“The world population is expected to grow to more than 8 billion by 2030,and the housing situation in city is already a huge problem. Building new homes in the traditional way still takes weeks or months.(到2030年，世界人口预计将增长到80亿以上，城市的住房状况已经是一个巨大的问题。以传统方式建造新房仍然需要数周或数月的时间。)”可知，作者认为城市中心区住房形势严峻。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第四段“WikiHouse is essentially a series of technologies we’re developing aimed at simplifying the process of making really sustainable high-performance houses to a point where almost anyone can do it.(WikiHouse本质上是我们正在开发的一系列技术，旨在简化制造真正可持续的高性能房屋的过程，使几乎任何人都能做到这一点。)”可知，Alastair Parvin正在开发Wiki-House，因为它使房屋制作过程变得简单。故选D项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第五段“Precise cutting allows a perfect fit for all parts, which speeds up the process of assembly (装配).(精确的切割使所有零件都能完美贴合，从而加快了装配过程。)”可知，WikiHouse的一个优点是它节省了时间。故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段“Parvin said the project is in its early stages, with limited availability. But he said he expects it to grow as more people start showing interest in houses whose assembly requires no special skills.(Parvin表示，该项目正处于早期阶段，可用性有限。但他表示，随着越来越多的人开始对组装不需要特殊技能的房屋表现出兴趣，他预计这一数字还会增长。)”以及上一段可知，Parvin对WikiHouse的未来持乐观态度。故选C项。 第二节 (共5小题，每小题3分，满分15分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 People are taught how to speak, but good sentence structure and a wide range of vocabulary words won’t always lead to being understood or understanding others._______16_______ The good news is that it’s never too late to learn how to communicate more effectively. The first step is to realize you’ re having communication issues._______17_______The following is a list of the top three signs that you need to learn healthier communication skills. You have the same fights over and over. Your fights are about the same topic again and again. If this is happening, it means you don’t yet have the skills to resolve conflicts._______18_______The fight may end, but it’s only a matter of time before you argue about the same thing again. When you learn how to resolve conflicts, issues don’t pile up or become baggage that weighs down your relationship. _______19_______ You don’t want to fight so you try not to bring up subjects that lead only to pain and disconnection. The problem is that avoiding them leads to pain and disconnection anyway. Unless you learn how to have hard conversations productively, you will get more and more disconnected until your relationship is in danger of ending. You regularly feel misunderstood or unheard. No matter how hard you try, you don’t feel understood. Perhaps your partner has expressed the same feeling.Over time the disconnected feeling does damage to your relationship. It’s important to learn how to communicate in a better way, so that both you and the other person feel heard and understood._______20_______To be heard, your partner will need to learn how to listen. For you, to be able to hear your partner, you will need to do the same. A. You avoid discussing certain topics. B. You argue with your partners about some issues. C. If you can’t resolve issues, they will continue to show up. D. This requires more than just speaking to your partner or vice versa. E. Then, you can learn how to communicate in a more productive way. F. If you leave conflicts unsettled, you will feel disconnected and lonely. G. Effective communication requires much more than being able to speak. 【答案】16. G 17. E 18. C 19. A 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了需要学习更好的交际技能的三种迹象。 【16题详解】 根据前句“People are taught how to speak, but good sentence structure and a wide range of vocabulary words won’t always lead to being understood or understanding others.(人们被教导如何说话，但好的句子结构与大量的词汇并不总能实现交际。)”可知，会说话不等于好的交际。所以选择项G“Effective communication requires much more than being able to speak.(有效的交际需要的不仅仅是会讲话。)”符合上下文语境。故选G。 【17题详解】 根据前句“The first step is to realize you’ re having communication issues. (首先你要意识到你有交际方面的问题。)”可知，先找到交际方面的问题，然后学会用更有成效的方法进行交际，前后两句是顺接关系。所以选择项E“Then, you can learn how to communicate in a more productive way. (然后你才能学会用更有成效的方法进行交际。)”符合上下文语境。故选E。 【18题详解】 根据前句“If this is happening, it means you don’t yet have the skills to resolve conflicts. (如果发生了这种情况，这意味着你还不具备解决冲突的技能。)”和后句“The fight may end, but it’s only a matter of time before you argue about the same thing again.(争吵可能会结束，但你们再次为同样的事情争吵只是时间问题。)”可知，这里需要一个过渡句，陈述问题没有解决的情形。所以选择项C“If you can’t resolve issues, they will continue to show up. (如果没有解决问题，它们会再次出现。)”符合上下文语境。故选C。 【19题详解】 这里需要一个主题句。根据下文“You don’t want to fight so you try not to bring up subjects that lead only to pain and disconnection. The problem is that avoiding them leads to pain and disconnection anyway. Unless you learn how to have hard conversations productively, you will get more and more disconnected until your relationship is in danger of ending. (你不想吵架，所以尽量不提那些只会导致痛苦和疏远话题。问题是，避免它们会导致痛苦和疏离。除非你学会如何有效地进行艰难的对话，否则你会变得越来越疏远，直到你们的关系有结束的危险。)”可知，本段主要介绍交际要避免的话题。所以选择项A“You avoid discussing certain topics. (你避免讨论某些话题。)”符合上下文语境。故选A。 【20题详解】 根据后文“To be heard, your partner will need to learn how to listen. For you, to be able to hear your partner, you will need to do the same. (想要被倾听，你的伴侣需要学会如何倾听。对你来说，为了能听到你的伴侣，你也需要这样做。)”可知，良好的交际需要诉说和倾听。所以选择项D“This requires more than just speaking to your partner or vice versa. (这要求你不仅仅要向你的伙伴诉说，反之亦然。)”符合上下文语境。故选D。 第三部分 英语知识运用(共两节, 满分50分) 第一节 完形填空(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 I was informed that my four-grade daughter was not going to make it to the fifth grade.

She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily. She couldn’t help crying sadly when she thought of he scolding from her mother. Having wandered aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat, but it was not even possible for her, since she had nothing with her. She stood beside a stand for a while, watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand, she sighed and had to leave. The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked, “Hey, girl, you want to have the noodles?” “Oh, yes... but I don’t have money on me...” she replied. “That’s nothing. I’ll treat you today,” said the man, “Come in.” The seller brought her a bowl of noodles whose smell was so attractive. Jenny thanked the man and started to gobblle (狼吞虎咽) up the delicious food...then cried silently. “What is it?” asked the man kindly. “Nothing actually I was moved by your kindness!” said Jenny as she wiped her tears, “Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother drove me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so mean and cruel!” Hearing the words, the seller smiled “Girl, do you really think so? I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you number the times that she has cooked for you? Have you expressed your thanks to her?” Jenny sat there, speechless and numb with shock; she remembered her mother’s familiar face and weathered hands. “Why did I not think of that? A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel grateful, but I have never thanked my mum for what she has done for me.” On the way home, Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home. 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。 Paragraph 1: Approaching the doorway, Jenny took a deep breath. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Her mother came back home, which called her mind back. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: Approaching the doorway, Jenny took a deep breath. When she knocked at the door, she found the door was locked and her mother was not in. Tired and sad, she sat down in front of the house. “Where could my mother be?” she wondered, “Was she still angry with me?” Again, the scene of the quarrel appeared in her mind. She remembered her rudeness to her mother. Realizing that all the scolding from her mother was due to the fact that her mother really cared a lot about her, she felt rather ashamed, and tears began to roll down her cheeks. Paragraph 2: A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back. She raised her head and saw the familiar face of her mother. “Here you come! I’ve been looking for you,” she said, tired and relieved. Jenny couldn’t help throwing herself into her mother’s arms. “Mum, I’m so sorry and thank you for all you have done for me.” She expressed her sincere apology and great gratitude. Hearing this, her mother smiled patting her back gently. 【解析】 【导语】本文以Jenny的感情变化为线索，记叙了Jenny (珍妮)和母亲争吵后，离家出走，在一个请她吃面的陌生人的启发下，想起了妈妈对自己的付出，最后决定回家向妈妈道歉的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“走近门口，珍妮深吸了一口气。”可知，第一段可描写珍妮发现妈妈不在家，想起争吵，对妈妈感到愧疚。 ②由第二段首句内容“轻轻抚摸她的头发使她回过神来。”可知，第二段可描写在外找珍妮的妈妈回家后看到珍妮松了一口气，珍妮向妈妈道歉的过程，最后母女和解。 2.续写线索：珍妮发现门锁了——珍妮又累又伤心——珍妮想起对妈妈的不好，感到愧疚——妈妈回来了——扑进妈妈怀里——向妈妈道歉——母女和解 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①出现：appear / turn up ②意识到：realize / perceive ③表达：express / convey 情绪类 ①悲伤的：sad / sorrowful ②生气的：angry / annoyed ③羞愧的：ashamed / abashed 【点睛】[高分句型1].

B Growing up in a poor African American neighborhood, Carl Allamby and his five brothers and sisters were raised by their stay-at-home mother and a father who sold home goods door-to-door. He faced low expectations and numerous barriers to pursuing his dream. His school didn’t offer the advanced science classes that might have led him on a premed (医学预科班) path, so he set aside thoughts of becoming a doctor. He had started it at the age of 19, working alone out of a rented bay in a friend’s garage. Over the years, it had grown into two shops with 11 employees, but Allamby had become anxious, longing for something more. So at the age of 34, he decided to go for his bachelor’s degree in business management. After taking classes part-time over the next five years, Allamby was told he had to take biology to get his degree. Biology class awakened a childhood dream within himself. With the support of his wife and family, he soon decided to skip business school in favor of the science classes he’d need for a second career as a health-care worker. Becoming a doctor when he would be approaching the age of 50 was clearly crazy. He would instead become a nurse or a physician assistant like his wife, he thought. But Allamby’s chemistry professor encouraged him to pursue his dream to be a doctor. And so in 2015, Allamby started at Northeast Ohio Medical University. In 2019, at the age of 47, Carl Allamby became Carl Allamby, MD. Now Allamby is a second-year resident. “How many people can do something so brand-new and have so much stimulation and responsibility at such a late stage in their life?” he says, “I am told that I shouldn’t be a doctor. Whether it’s because of my age, my race, my upbringing, or my past career, these are all good reasons why I shouldn’t be here. And yet, here I am.” 4. What made Carl fail to become a doctor when he was young? A. No social barriers. B. Parents’ being jobless. C. High expectations from his parents. D. No advanced science classes in his school. 5. What awakened Carl’s childhood dream? A Chemistry class. B. Business class. C. Biology class. D. His professor’s encouragement. 6. Why did Carl skip business school? A. To attend science classes. B. To manage his shops. C. To take part-time classes. D. To support his family. 7. Which of the following can best describe Carl? A. Caring. B. Determined C. Honest. D. Good-tempered. C Advances in digital technology, including computers, smartphones, and mobile apps, have changed the way people communicate and learn at home and in classrooms around the world. Now, an international team of researchers are working to ensure that this changing educational landscape will help to support literacy (读写能力) in deaf children. “We’re using digital technology to encourage children to learn,” said Leandro F1órez-Aristizábal. Leandro and his co-workers are working to design and test a storytelling app for sign language-speaking deaf children. They began by designing a series of black and white cards describing images. A single student would change the order of the cards he or she chose and then tell the story to the rest of the class through sign language. The researchers conducted a case study with 5th graders. One thing that attracted the researchers as they watched the performances was the response of other students in the classroom. As one student was chosen to change the order of the cards, other students got up and began offering suggestions about a general storyline. Then, the researchers added details and colors to the cards and tested those out with kids. Finally, they changed the colorful cards to digital form. And the kids appeared to love it. The researchers reported that children’s motivation (动力) increased when technology was part of the activity. They had more impressive performances. While their original target audience at the moment are deaf children, Leandro says the app might also find use as a means for hearing kids to learn sign language. “We started with deafness, but we don’t want to stop there,” Leandro said. “We want to invite other researchers to join us on this journey and to help us develop improved functions to serve other disabilities and other educational goals. In this way, we’re trying to fill the gap with them. Finally, we want to forget about disabilities and think about different abilities.” 8. How did Leandro and his co-workers carry out their study? A. By testing deaf children’s learning habits. B. By inviting students to design images. C. By introducing a new sign language. D. By taking a storytelling approach. 9. What interested the researchers about the students in the study? A. They were full of curiosity. B. They were good storytellers. C. They actively helped each other. D. They had an excellent memory. 10. What did the researchers find out in the study? A. Kids preferred to play fun games before class. B. Deaf kids could communicate with others well. C. Digital technology benefited the kids’ performances. D. Digital technology took kids’ attention away from their studies. 11. What does Leandro mainly want to express in the last paragraph? A. He plans to widen the usage of the app. B. He is faced with new challenges in the research. C. He expects other researchers to play a leading role. D. He calls on people to care about disabled children. D It’s said that about one third of the world’s citizens live in substandard housing. But researchers have created free plans now available online for building houses using pre-made parts that fit together perfectly which could help solve this housing problem. The world population is expected to grow to more than 8 billion by 2030, and the housing situation in city is already a huge problem. Building new homes in the traditional way still takes weeks or months. In a London neighborhood, a group of volunteers are constructing a house made of pre-made plywood panels (预制胶合板面板) and parts, the so-called WikiHouse. All parts were precisely cut in a Computer Numerical Control, or CNC machine, following a free plan downloaded from the Internet. Founder of the UK-based on WikiHouse Foundation, architectural designer Alastair Parvin, said this could be the solution for affordable housing. WikiHouse is essentially a series of technologies we’re developing aimed at simplifying the process of making really sustainable high-performance houses to a point where almost anyone can do it. Precise cutting allows a perfect fit for all parts, which speeds up the process of assembly (装配). No special tools are required. The WikiHouse was built in 10 days for exhibition purposes. Then, it was taken apart and reassembled elsewhere for permanent use. “Open-source (开源)software is now really established; it drives a lot of the software we use,” Parvin said. “What's happening now is that that's coming into the world of physical things, so we're effectively building a kind of Wikipedia for physical material.” Parvin said the project is in its early stages, with limited availability. But he said he expects it to grow as more people start showing interest in houses whose assembly requires no special skills. 12. What does the author think of the housing situation in urban centers? A. Serious. B. Acceptable. C. Good. D. Common. 13. Why is Alastair Parvin developing Wiki- House? A. Because it looks more beautiful. B. Because it saves the trouble of designing. C. Because workers are fond of the work. D. Because it makes the process of making houses simple. 14. Which is one of the advantages of the WikiHouse? A. It is solid. B. It takes up little room. C. It saves time. D. It is environmentally friendly. 15. Judging from the last two paragraphs we know_. A. Parvin is cautious about using open-source software B. Parvin thinks WikiHouse technology is mature C. Parvin is optimistic about the future of WikiHouse D. Parvin is trying his best to make Wiki-House cheaper 第二节 (共5小题，每小题3分，满分15分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 People are taught how to speak, but good sentence structure and a wide range of vocabulary words won’t always lead to being understood or understanding others._______16_______ The good news is that it’s never too late to learn how to communicate more effectively. The first step is to realize you’ re having communication issues._______17_______The following is a list of the top three signs that you need to learn healthier communication skills. You have the same fights over and over. Your fights are about the same topic again and again. If this is happening, it means you don’t yet have the skills to resolve conflicts._______18_______The fight may end, but it’s only a matter of time before you argue about the same thing again. When you learn how to resolve conflicts, issues don’t pile up or become baggage that weighs down your relationship. _______19_______ You don’t want to fight so you try not to bring up subjects that lead only to pain and disconnection. The problem is that avoiding them leads to pain and disconnection anyway. Unless you learn how to have hard conversations productively, you will get more and more disconnected until your relationship is in danger of ending. You regularly feel misunderstood or unheard. No matter how hard you try, you don’t feel understood. Perhaps your partner has expressed the same feeling.Over time the disconnected feeling does damage to your relationship. It’s important to learn how to communicate in a better way, so that both you and the other person feel heard and understood._______20_______To be heard, your partner will need to learn how to listen.

She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily. She couldn’t help crying sadly when she thought of he scolding from her mother. Having wandered aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat, but it was not even possible for her, since she had nothing with her. She stood beside a stand for a while, watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand, she sighed and had to leave. The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked, “Hey, girl, you want to have the noodles?” “Oh, yes... but I don’t have money on me...” she replied. “That’s nothing. I’ll treat you today,” said the man, “Come in.” The seller brought her a bowl of noodles whose smell was so attractive. Jenny thanked the man and started to gobblle (狼吞虎咽) up the delicious food...then cried silently. “What is it?” asked the man kindly. “Nothing, actually I was moved by your kindness!” said Jenny as she wiped her tears, “Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother drove me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so mean and cruel!” Hearing the words, the seller smiled “Girl, do you really think so? I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you number the times that she has cooked for you? Have you expressed your thanks to her?” Jenny sat there, speechless and numb with shock; she remembered her mother’s familiar face and weathered hands. “Why did I not think of that? A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel grateful, but I have never thanked my mum for what she has done for me.” On the way home, Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home. 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。 Paragraph 1: Approaching the doorway, Jenny took a deep breath. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Her mother came back home, which called her mind back. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
