While these moments can be worrying, they can also be handled with humor. When we share a laugh at our mistakes, we can calm ourselves down with a thread of understanding and acceptance. When one morning in a rush to school I spilled (泼洒) my cup of orange juice. I immediately thought of the precious minutes I would have to spend in cleaning up the floor. I raced back and forth to the sink (洗碗槽)with a kitchen cloth soaked (浸透)with juice to wash off. My legs were shaking as I watched from my window the school bus coming to my street. Within a minute, I had thrown the orange juice-soaked cloth to the sink and ran outside to join the group of kids in entering the bus. When thinking about my morning rush to clean up the spilled juice on the bus, I realized how much unnecessary stress and worry I put myself through. I ended up smiling to myself about my minor nervousness over spilled juice. These days I don’t usually spill orange juice, but I do sometimes spill a bit of spaghetti sauce on my pant or put on my sweater backwards when I’m really tired and in a hurry for school. In each of my mistakes, I try to remind myself not to take myself so seriously. It takes me a minute to calm down, take a deep breath and smile at my carelessness. It is the ability to see mistakes in a different way that enables me to find humor in everyday moments. Humor, however, doesn’t always have to arise from silly mistakes. Kids may have a good laugh at comic books, classic jokes and stories told by friends and parents. What matters more is not where you find the humor in life, but that you can appreciate it. 24. When we make mistakes in our daily lives, we ________. A. should treat them properly B. may try to enjoy ourselves C. must know the value of them D. had better forget them in time 25. What did the author do before going to school in Paragraph2? A. He prepared breakfast busily. B. He had some clothes washed. C. He made a cup of orange juice. D. He did some cleaning at home. 26. We can learn from Paragraph 3 that the author____________. A. makes many mistakes now the then B. tries to keep himself calm with humor C. has been used to being busy every day D. always makes other people around happy 27. What does the author intend to tell us? A. We should try to find where humor lies. B. We can be happy by enjoying humor. C. It is natural for us to make mistakes. D. Reading is a good habit for every person. 【答案】24. A 25. D 26. B 27. B 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。在生活中，我们总是会犯这样或那样的错误，我们应该怎么对待这种情况呢?作者结合个人的经历告诉我们，幽默可以使我们正确对待错误并使自己保持快乐。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“In our daily lives, we probably make silly mistakes. While these moments can be worrying, they can also be handled with humor. When we share a laugh at our mistakes, we can calm ourselves down with a thread of understanding and acceptance.”（在我们的日常生活中，我们可能会犯愚蠢的错误。虽然这些时刻可能令人担忧，但也可以用幽默来处理。当我们为自己的错误而开怀大笑时，我们可以通过理解和接受来让自己冷静下来。）可知，我们应该正确地看待自己所犯的错误。故选A项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“I immediately thought of the precious minutes I would have to spend in cleaning up the floor. I raced back and forth to the sink (洗碗槽)with a kitchen cloth soaked (浸透)with juice to wash off.”（我立刻想到我必须花几分钟来清理地板。我拿着一块浸透了果汁的厨房布，跑到水池边去洗。）可知，在上学之前作者做了一些清洗工作。故选D项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“In each of my mistakes, I try to remind myself not to take myself so seriously. It takes me a minute to calm down, take a deep breath and smile at my carelessness. It is the ability to see mistakes in a different way that enables me to find humor in everyday moments.”（在我犯的每一个错误中，我都试着提醒自己不要把自己看得太严肃。我花了一分钟的时间冷静下来，深吸一口气，对自己的粗心微笑。用不同的方式看待错误的能力使我能在日常生活中找到幽默。）可知，作者用幽默安慰自己,让自己镇定下来。故选B项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“What matters more is not where you find the humor in life, but that you can appreciate it.”（重要的不是你在哪里发现生活的幽默，而是你能欣赏它。）可知，作者认为，更重要的是我们要会欣赏幽默,才能生活得快乐。故选B项。 C As a means of dealing with loneliness and social isolation (孤立) in English towns, local police forces have begun providing specific public benches that can be used for making friends and having conversations. The “Chat Benches”, which are now located in two different parks and outdoor areas in Somerset, are recognized by a little sign reading: “Sit here if you don’t mind someone stopping to say hello!” The Avon and Somerset Police Department Facebook page recently published photos of their two new “Chat Benches” in Burnham and Taunton with an encouraging note for readers to stop by and use them for socialization (社交). “The sign simply helps to break the silence between strangers who find themselves sharing a common place,” says the police department. “We can all play a part. Simply stopping to say ‘hello’ to someone at the ‘Chat Bench’ could make life a little better for many people.” According to a survey of the department, 17% of old people are only in contact with family, friends and neighbors less than once a week. This rises to about 9 million British people who suffer from loneliness and isolation each year. The police force started the Chat Bench earlier this month to go with World Elder Abuse (虐待) Awareness Day. Though the officers say that there are many different forms of elder abuse which need our concern (关心), they hope that the Chat Bench will help to deal with senior loneliness in their communities. “The Chat Bench is a fantastic new thing and I hope people of all ages start many more conversations in the future,” says Police and Crime Commissioner Sue Mountstevens. 28. What can we know about the Chat Bench according to the text? A. It is intended for prisoners. B. It can be seen in every English town. C. It has helped many people get rid of loneliness. D. It has signs encouraging strangers to start conversations. 29. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4? A. Most old people in Britain live alone. B. The British pay less attention to mental health. C. The British have little interest in social activities. D. Increasing British old people feel lonely and isolated. 30. What can be concluded from Sue Mountstevens’ words in the last paragraph? A. He has high expectations for the Chat Bench. B. Elder abuse hasn’t drawn public attention. C. He doesn’t think people can enjoy using the Chat Bench. D.

British police find communication areas in the towns D. British police create “Chat Benches” to fight social isolation 【答案】28. D 29. D 30. A 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲的是在英国城镇，作为一种应对孤独和社会孤立的手段，当地警察已经开始提供特定的公共长凳，可以用来交朋友和交谈。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“The “Chat Benches”, which are now located in two different parks and outdoor areas in Somerset, are recognized by a little sign reading: “Sit here if you don’t mind someone stopping to say hello!”（这种“聊天长凳”现在位于萨默塞特郡的两个不同的公园和户外区域，上面的一个小牌子上写着：“如果你不介意有人停下来打招呼，请坐在这里！”）”和第三段中“The sign simply helps to break the silence between strangers who find themselves sharing a common place”（这个标志只是帮助打破了陌生人之间的沉默，他们发现自己住在一个共同的地方）可知，聊天凳有鼓励陌生人开始交谈的标志。故选D。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段的“According to a survey of the department, 17% of old people are only in contact with family, friends and neighbors less than once a week. This rises to about 9 million British people who suffer from loneliness and isolation each year.”（据该部门的一项调查显示，17%的老年人每周与家人、朋友和邻居联系不到一次。每年约有900万英国人遭受孤独和孤立。）可知，越来越多的英国老人感到孤独和孤立。故选D。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“The Chat Bench is a fantastic new thing and I hope people of all ages start many more conversations in the future”（“聊天长凳”是一个很棒的新事物，我希望所有年龄段的人在未来开始更多的对话）可知，Sue Mountstevens希望所有年龄段的人通过“聊天长凳”在未来开始更多的对话，说明他对“聊天长凳”有很高的期望。故选A。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的“As a means of dealing with loneliness and social isolation in English towns, local police forces have begun providing specific public benches that can be used for making friends and having conversations.”（在英国城镇，作为一种应对孤独和社会孤立的手段，当地警察已经开始提供特定的公共长凳，可以用来交朋友和交谈。）可知，本文主要讲的是英国警方发明了一种“聊天长凳”来对抗社会孤立，因此最好的题目是D选项“British police create “Chat Benches” to fight social isolation”，故选D。 D Facial recognition software has found an unlikely new application: scanning the faces of thousands of British children in school canteens. Nine schools in North Ayrshire will today start taking lunch payments by scanning the faces of pupils, claiming that the new system speeds up queues and is more secure than the card payments and fingerprint scanners they used previously. “It’s the fastest way of recognising someone at the till,” said David Swanston, the managing director of CRB Cunninghams, the company that installed the systems. “In a secondary school you have around a 25-minute period to serve potentially 1,000 pupils. So we need fast productivity at the point of sale.” He said the average transaction time was cut to five seconds per pupil. However, privacy campaigners say there is little need to spread out facial recognition technology, which has been criticized for often operating without gaining approvals from the owners. Swanston argued that CRB Cunningham’s system, which uses cameras to check against coded face-print modes stored on servers at the schools, was different from live facial recognition systems that scan through crowds to identify faces. Live facial recognition has previously caused debate after being used by schools for security or to monitor attendance. North Ayrshire committee said that 97 percent of children or their parents had given agreement for the new system. “Pupils often forget their PINs and unfortunately some have also been the victim of PIN cheating, so they are supportive of the planned developments and appreciate the benefits to them,” the council said. But some parents said they were unsure whether their children had been given enough information to make their decision, and suggested that peer pressure had also played a role. 32. What can we infer from Swanston’s word? A. He speaks highly of the system. B. The software is intended to promote the sales. C. The technology has previously caused debate. D. The system will be helpful when the students forget their PINs. 33. What is not the advantage of the facial recognition software? A. It speeds up the queues. B. It is safer than the previous payments. C. It operates without being approved of. D. It benefits the pupils who often forget their PINs. 34. What’s the author’s attitude to the application of facial recognition technology? A. Supportive B. Disapproved C. Objective D. Critical 35. What does this passage mainly talk about? A. Facial recognition has been the best way adopted so far. B. Parents disagree with the application of facial recognition system. C. The facial recognition system can benefit the pupils who are forgetful. D. Schools speed up canteen queues with facial recognition technology. 【答案】32. A 33. C 34. C 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了人脸识别技术在学生食堂的使用，以及人们对这项技术使用的评价。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段David Swanston所说的话“It’s the fastest way of recognising someone at the till”（它是在收银台最快的辨别某个人的方法。）可知，在David Swanston看来这项面部识别技术是最快捷的，这是在描述这项人脸识别技术的优点，高度赞美其公司的产品。故选A。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“North Ayrshire committee said that 97 percent of children or their parents had given agreement for the new system.”（北艾尔郡委员会说97%的孩子和他们的父母都对这个新系统表示赞同。）可知，这项系统的实施是有人赞同的。所以C项描述和文章意思不一致，是错误的。故选C。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。第一段介绍了面部识别技术运用于学校食堂这一现象；第二段Swanston介绍该面部识别系统的特征；第三段是介绍privacy campaigners的质疑及Swanston的说明；第四段和第五段分别陈述了家长和学生们对此面部识别系统的不同观点。综上所述，全篇作者都在客观陈述各方的不同观点，所以作者的观点是客观的。故选C。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Facial recognition software has found an unlikely new application: scanning the faces of thousands of British children in school canteens.”（人脸识别软件已经发现了一个不可能的新功能：在学校食堂扫描数千名学生的脸。）可知，本文主要讲述人脸识别技术在学生食堂的使用，加快了学生买饭的速度。故选D。 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。 Words have great power.

It was a battle of wills, my mom’s and my own, over which school I was to attend. She wanted me to attend the well-known nursing school to which I was originally accepted, but I wanted to go to a small, private writing college with a student body of fewer than 300 students. Every night for two weeks, we argued, yelled and gave silent treatments until both parties went to bed with regrets and frustrations. It was mostly my fault. Since my junior year of high school, I had aimed at being a nurse. I took all the required courses, applied for nursing scholarships, and even worked as a volunteer in my town’s local hospital. My goal, or so I told everyone, was to treat the sick and heal the hurt. Yet, as graduation and college neared, I gradually found it was not what I was meant to do for the rest of my life. I could picture myself in providing wound care, making rounds and taking temperatures, but I couldn’t picture myself happy. It wasn’t the future I wanted. Then, it dawned on me. I had been creating and writing stories for as long as I could remember. Even at four years old, I had my dad write as I told him the stories I had created. I had written for my high school’s newspaper and attended a writing camp over the previous summer. I loved it, and writing was what I had always pictured myself doing as a hobby. Now, it had become much more than a hobby. It was going to be my career even if the future was uncertain.

(连续两周的每个晚上，我们都争吵、大吼大叫，互相沉默，直到双方都带着遗憾和沮丧上床睡觉)”可知，这里讲的是作者妈妈不同意作者的意见，经常争吵。由此可知，空格处应为argue的过去时argued“争吵”，满足句意要求。故填argued。 【67题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段中“War broke out in our house in late July with less than a month to go before my first day of college. It was a battle of wills, my mom’s and my own, over which school I was to attend. She wanted me to attend the well-known nursing school to which I was originally accepted, but I wanted to go to a small, private writing college with a student body of fewer than 300 students. (7月下旬，离我上大学还有不到一个月的时候，我们家爆发了战争。我到底该上哪所学校，这是一场意志的较量，是我妈妈和我自己的意志。她想让我去一所著名的护理学校，我最初是被那所学校录取的，但我想去一所学生人数不到300人的小型私立写作学院)”可知，作者和她妈妈争论作者应该上哪所大学。故答案为They argued about which college the writer should attend. 【68题详解】 开放性试题。言之有理即可。根据文章大意可知，作者的妈妈不同意她的新想法，可能是因为也许她不想让作者的所有努力付诸东流，担心作者没有想清楚。故答案为Maybe she didn’t want all the efforts the writer had made to be wasted and worried that the writer didn’t think it through. /Maybe she thought the writing college was unreliable and the future of being a writer was uncertain. 【69题详解】 开放性试题。言之有理即可。根据文章大意以及结合作者遇到的问题可知，我认为作者解决这个问题的方法是她可以和妈妈坦诚地交谈，或者写信给妈妈，解释她改变主意的原因，展示她对写作的热情和能力。故答案为She could have an honest talk with or write a letter to her mom, explaining the reasons why she changed her mind, showing her enthusiasm about writing and her ability in it. 第五部分：写作 (满分 20 分) 70. 你校高一年级即将开展一场英语演讲比赛，请你写一篇以友谊为主题的演讲稿参加班级初选，要点包括： 1. 友谊的重要性； 2. 如何选择朋友。 注意：1. 词数80左右； 2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Dear fellow students, I’m honored to have the chance to deliver a speech with respect to friendship.

A. movie lovers B. modern artists C. visitors of all ages D. families with kids B In our daily lives, we probably make silly mistakes. While these moments can be worrying, they can also be handled with humor. When we share a laugh at our mistakes, we can calm ourselves down with a thread of understanding and acceptance. When one morning in a rush to school, I spilled (泼洒) my cup of orange juice. I immediately thought of the precious minutes I would have to spend in cleaning up the floor. I raced back and forth to the sink (洗碗槽)with a kitchen cloth soaked (浸透)with juice to wash off. My legs were shaking as I watched from my window the school bus coming to my street. Within a minute, I had thrown the orange juice-soaked cloth to the sink and ran outside to join the group of kids in entering the bus. When thinking about my morning rush to clean up the spilled juice on the bus, I realized how much unnecessary stress and worry I put myself through. I ended up smiling to myself about my minor nervousness over spilled juice. These days I don’t usually spill orange juice, but I do sometimes spill a bit of spaghetti sauce on my pant or put on my sweater backwards when I’m really tired and in a hurry for school. In each of my mistakes, I try to remind myself not to take myself so seriously. It takes me a minute to calm down, take a deep breath and smile at my carelessness. It is the ability to see mistakes in a different way that enables me to find humor in everyday moments. Humor, however, doesn’t always have to arise from silly mistakes. Kids may have a good laugh at comic books, classic jokes and stories told by friends and parents. What matters more is not where you find the humor in life, but that you can appreciate it. 24. When we make mistakes in our daily lives, we ________. A. should treat them properly B. may try to enjoy ourselves C. must know the value of them D. had better forget them in time 25. What did the author do before going to school in Paragraph2? A. He prepared breakfast busily. B. He had some clothes washed. C. He made a cup of orange juice. D. He did some cleaning at home. 26. We can learn from Paragraph 3 that the author____________. A. makes many mistakes now the then B tries to keep himself calm with humor C. has been used to being busy every day D. always makes other people around happy 27. What does the author intend to tell us? A. We should try to find where humor lies. B. We can be happy by enjoying humor. C. It is natural for us to make mistakes. D. Reading is a good habit for every person. C As a means of dealing with loneliness and social isolation (孤立) in English towns, local police forces have begun providing specific public benches that can be used for making friends and having conversations. The “Chat Benches”, which are now located in two different parks and outdoor areas in Somerset, are recognized by a little sign reading: “Sit here if you don’t mind someone stopping to say hello!” The Avon and Somerset Police Department Facebook page recently published photos of their two new “Chat Benches” in Burnham and Taunton with an encouraging note for readers to stop by and use them for socialization (社交). “The sign simply helps to break the silence between strangers who find themselves sharing a common place,” says the police department. “We can all play a part. Simply stopping to say ‘hello’ to someone at the ‘Chat Bench’ could make life a little better for many people.” According to a survey of the department, 17% of old people are only in contact with family, friends and neighbors less than once a week. This rises to about 9 million British people who suffer from loneliness and isolation each year. The police force started the Chat Bench earlier this month to go with World Elder Abuse (虐待) Awareness Day. Though the officers say that there are many different forms of elder abuse which need our concern (关心), they hope that the Chat Bench will help to deal with senior loneliness in their communities. “The Chat Bench is a fantastic new thing and I hope people of all ages start many more conversations in the future,” says Police and Crime Commissioner Sue Mountstevens. 28. What can we know about the Chat Bench according to the text? A. It is intended for prisoners. B. It can be seen in every English town. C. It has helped many people get rid of loneliness. D. It has signs encouraging strangers to start conversations. 29. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4? A Most old people in Britain live alone. B. The British pay less attention to mental health. C. The British have little interest in social activities. D. Increasing British old people feel lonely and isolated. 30. What can be concluded from Sue Mountstevens’ words in the last paragraph? A. He has high expectations for the Chat Bench. B Elder abuse hasn’t drawn public attention. C. He doesn’t think people can enjoy using the Chat Bench. D. Senior loneliness has been a serious social problem in Britain. 31. What could be the best title for the text? A. The history of “Chat Benches” B. New tourist attractions in British towns C. British police find communication areas in the towns D. British police create “Chat Benches” to fight social isolation D Facial recognition software has found an unlikely new application: scanning the faces of thousands of British children in school canteens. Nine schools in North Ayrshire will today start taking lunch payments by scanning the faces of pupils, claiming that the new system speeds up queues and is more secure than the card payments and fingerprint scanners they used previously. “It’s the fastest way of recognising someone at the till,” said David Swanston, the managing director of CRB Cunninghams, the company that installed the systems. “In a secondary school you have around a 25-minute period to serve potentially 1,000 pupils. So we need fast productivity at the point of sale.” He said the average transaction time was cut to five seconds per pupil. However, privacy campaigners say there is little need to spread out facial recognition technology, which has been criticized for often operating without gaining approvals from the owners. Swanston argued that CRB Cunningham’s system, which uses cameras to check against coded face-print modes stored on servers at the schools, was different from live facial recognition systems that scan through crowds to identify faces. Live facial recognition has previously caused debate after being used by schools for security or to monitor attendance. North Ayrshire committee said that 97 percent of children or their parents had given agreement for the new system. “Pupils often forget their PINs and unfortunately some have also been the victim of PIN cheating, so they are supportive of the planned developments and appreciate the benefits to them,” the council said. But some parents said they were unsure whether their children had been given enough information to make their decision, and suggested that peer pressure had also played a role. 32. What can we infer from Swanston’s word? A. He speaks highly of the system. B. The software is intended to promote the sales. C. The technology has previously caused debate. D. The system will be helpful when the students forget their PINs. 33. What is not the advantage of the facial recognition software? A. It speeds up the queues. B. It is safer than the previous payments. C. It operates without being approved of. D. It benefits the pupils who often forget their PINs. 34. What’s the author’s attitude to the application of facial recognition technology? A. Supportive B. Disapproved C Objective D. Critical 35. What does this passage mainly talk about? A. Facial recognition has been the best way adopted so far. B. Parents disagree with the application of facial recognition system. C. The facial recognition system can benefit the pupils who are forgetful. D. Schools speed up canteen queues with facial recognition technology. 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。 Words have great power.

It was a battle of wills, my mom’s and my own, over which school I was to attend. She wanted me to attend the well-known nursing school to which I was originally accepted, but I wanted to go to a small, private writing college with a student body of fewer than 300 students. Every night for two weeks, we argued, yelled and gave silent treatments until both parties went to bed with regrets and frustrations. It was mostly my fault. Since my junior year of high school, I had aimed at being a nurse. I took all the required courses, applied for nursing scholarships, and even worked as a volunteer in my town’s local hospital. My goal, or so I told everyone, was to treat the sick and heal the hurt. Yet, as graduation and college neared, I gradually found it was not what I was meant to do for the rest of my life. I could picture myself in providing wound care, making rounds and taking temperatures, but I couldn’t picture myself happy. It wasn’t the future I wanted. Then, it dawned on me. I had been creating and writing stories for as long as I could remember. Even at four years old, I had my dad write as I told him the stories I had created. I had written for my high school’s newspaper and attended a writing camp over the previous summer. I loved it, and writing was what I had always pictured myself doing as a hobby. Now, it had become much more than a hobby. It was going to be my career even if the future was uncertain. It had to be. 66. 根据文本内容从方框中选择恰当的词并用其正确形式填入文本图示中，每词限用一次，有两词为多余选项。 write nurse attend like preparation argue goal career realize happy approach angry In high school, I ______ all the required courses and made all ______ I could for being a nurse.
