Take class notes Three sites —StudySoup, NexusNotes, and Stuvia— offer attractive pay for uploading and selling class notes to other students at your university. You usually get a bonus when someone signs up to get access to your notes, plus a payment for each set of notes that sell. You can earn $250 to $500 per class, per semester. Become a tutor Many younger students have fallen behind academically as they struggled with distance learning. That opens an opportunity for those who have mastered a subject, from high school algebra to Spanish, to teach that subject to others. A number of tutoring platforms allow you to sign up and tutor online or in person. Some of the best: Wyzant, Varsity Tutors, and, for those who want to teach music, LessonFace. Be a survey taker The best option in this category is a site called Prolific. What makes this site better than most is that it asks you to answer qualifying questions—age, income, family status, etc.—in advance. Then, the site sends you only the surveys that you’re qualified to take. Charge scooters Big campuses are often littered with electric scooters (小型摩托车) and bikes that can be unlocked and ridden around campus. Riders can drop the scooters just about anywhere. So scooter companies enlist (征募) “chargers” to pick them up, charge them overnight and return them to a designated (指定的) area early the next morning. If you have a late class, there are two benefits of signing up to charge. First, you earn between $5 and $20 for each scooter you return fully charged. You also get to ride the scooters home for free, which isn’t a bad way to get back to your dorm. 36. Which site allows one to get paid by uploading their class notes? A. Prolific. B. LessonFace. C. Wyzant. D. StudySoup. 37. Which one best suits students who are excellent in music? A. Taking class notes. B. Becoming a tutor. C. Being a survey taker. D. Charging scooters. 38. What can be inferred about Prolific? A. It offers the highest pay. B. It only chooses students with good grades. C. It helps researchers find suitable survey participants. D. It requires participants to sign up in advance. 39. What may make charging scooters attractive? A. It pays riders for charging scooters. B. It provides the most benefits for students. C. It offers a means of free transportation. D. It helps solve the litter problem on campus. 40. The passage mainly introduces ______. A. methods to do better in school B. job options for college students C. after-class activities for students D. ways to meet a full class schedule B When Milla Bizzot to finished her first 24-hour obstacle race she went shoulder to shoulder with experienced competitors, ran 36 miles and completed hundreds of obstacles, all at the age of 9.“There are some double takes on the course, but she has been an inspiration to people who see her out there competing like that,” said Christian Bizzotto, Milla’s father and coach, who was proud of her. Milla is very fit for her age, and she proved it in completing the BattleFrog Xtreme 24-hour race in Miami. Milla also used the event to inspire other kids to be active and show how competing in obstacle racing has helped her deal with being bullied at school. “We wanted to make her feel more empowered and make her feel that she wasn’t weak, and that changed her whole mindset,” her father said. In preparing for the 24-hour race, Milla trained 20 hours a week for 90 days, doing exercise in the gym for 4 hours every day after school. “The reactions are 90 percent good, but some are totally negative,” Christian said. “I’ve had people message me on Facebook saying I’m a child abuser, and that no 9-year-old should be doing a 24-hour race. But her own doctors were there supporting her and cheering her on. I want her to be a kid, and this is just something she really wants to do.” CrossFit and obstacle course racing have also helped Christian turn around his life. He got injured in a motorcycle accident. After he was finally able to get around without using a walker, he began his recovery by going for walks on the beach with Milla, and then began running every day. Next, he joined a CrossFit gym and enjoyed it so much that he opened his own gym to train others for events like CrossFit, BattleFrog and Spartan races. “I just wanted to create a hero that Milla could look up to,” he said. Next up for Milla is an invitation-only “Athletes Race”. Competitors also have to raise $5,000 for charity. 41. Christian Bizzotto, Milla’s father and coach, ______. A. was very strict with Milla B. was satisfied with what Milla did C. lost his legs in a motorcycle accident D. threw his walker with the help of CrossFit 42. What can we learn about Milla? A. She was always bullied by her schoolmates. B. She began to run because she was physically weak. C. Her father wanted her to get benefit from the obstacle race. D. She became more confident after the 24-hour obstacle race. 43. During her training for the 24-hour obstacle race, Milla most probably _________. A. had two days’ rest every week B. was always running with her father C. spent over 4 hours every day of a week D. took a hit because her father was injured 44. The reactions Christian got on the Internet ______. A. told us that Milla had a hard childhood B. showed that he was a real abuser C. encouraged Milla to challenge more difficult runs D. were mixed but what Milla did was supported by her doctors 45. What Christian did after his injury was mainly to ______. A. make money to open a gym B. set a good example to Milla C. make money to raise his family D. get recovered as soon as possible C High-speed Internet access is provided by fiber-optic cables (光纤电缆). In fiber-optic systems, light signals are carried over long distances with fibers covered by cables. They have excellent performance, but they also have their own problems. Many parts of the world — especially underdeveloped areas — are not able to afford to build fiber-optic networks. This prevents millions of people across the world from having access to the Internet. A new system being tested in India and Africa offers a partial solution to this problem. It was developed by Alphabet. Like fiber optics the system uses light to carry high-speed Internet signals. But the light travels as beams (光束) through the air, without the need for fibers or cables. The beams can transmit high-speed data between two points with the help of receiving devices attached to structures. The technology is called Free Space Optical Communications (FSOC). The project is called Taara, using an FSOC system to transmit high-speed data signals between two large African cities — Brazzaville and Kinshasa. The two cities are only 4.8 kilometers apart from each other, separated by the Congo River. The transmission of data signals is possible as long as there is a direct line of sight between the system’s receiving devices. The system can be affected by some kinds of weather, like heavy fog, or by birds or other animals getting close to the equipment. But the Taara team says it has already made progress in making the system adjust to such environments to avoid any service outages. After adding its “pointing and tracking” equipment to beam connectivity across the river, Taara said the link provided nearly 700 terabytes of data in 20 days with 99.9 percent availability. It noted that that amount of data would be equal to that of watching a FIFA World Cup match 270,000 times. Baris Erkmen, the director of engineering for Taara, has reported similar results in tests of the system in India. He said the team admitted that it couldn’t expect to see “perfect reliability” in the system through all kinds of weather and conditions. However, he added, “We believe Taara’s links will continue to deliver similar performance and will play a key role in bringing faster, more affordable connectivity to people living in these cities.” 46. What can we say about fiber-optic systems? A. Safe and adaptable. B. Complex but popular. C. Effective but expensive. D. Demanding and reusable. 47. What’s the main difference between the fiber-optic system and the FSOC system? A. Their signal quality. B. Their coverage area. C. Their transmission speed. D. Their transmission medium. 48. What does the underlined word “outages” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Aging. B. Failure. C. Updating. D. Exposure. 49. Why does the author present data in the last paragraph? A. To show the successful improvement to Taara. B. To describe the competitive World Cup match. C. To prove the convenience of beam connectivity. D. To introduce the perfect reliability of the system. 50. What is Baris Erkmen’s attitude towards Taara? A. Positive. B. Cautious. C. Doubtful. D. Concerned. D Intelligence is not enough to create extraordinary work. The most creative people in history you admire approached problems differently. IQ alone cannot explain creative spark. “Creativity isn’t a talent. It’s a way of operating,” says John Cleese. It’s a central source of meaning in our lives. Creative geniuses are able to bring seemingly contradictor y element s together in unusual and unexpected ways. While there’s no “typical” creative type, Einstein, Picasso and Mozart shared common traits. You can be insanely talented but if you can’t consistently hone your craft (打磨技能), you can’t be great. The ability to stick with and pursue anything that means a lot to you over a long period of time is an important indicator (指标) of achieving anything worthwhile in life. Einstein had extremely high intelligence but he genuinely loved his pursuit of Relativity. He committed a greater percentage of his productive years pursuing the Theory of Relativity. And it meant everything to him. Creative people have a strong desire to work hard and long on what they love doing. The willingness to take risks, to break with the safety of tradition, and step outside the comfort zone is necessary for creativity. History’s creative geniuses risked more to get results. Unless you aim for comfort and stagnation (停滞), taking risks is imperative to every creative process. They valued the process of their work as much as the destination. They enjoyed the process as much as the ultimate outcome. They viewed obstacles as opportunities to explore and make progress. Picasso was once asked if he knew what a painting was going to look like when he started it. He answered, “No, of course not. If I knew, I wouldn’t bother doing it.” Curiosity is fundamental to your success. Einstein, Picasso and Mozart embraced curiosity, were open to new ideas, and persistent despite career setbacks. Mozart once wrote to a friend about his commitment to music and said, “People err who think my art comes easily to me. I assure you, dear friend, nobody has devoted so much time and thought to compositions as I. There is not a famous master whose music I have not industriously studied through many times.” 51. What can we know about creativity and intelligence? A. Intelligence is the decisive factor of success. B. Creativity has nothing to do with intelligence. C. There is more to creativity than just intelligence. D. Creativity belongs to people with great intelligence. 52. Einstein’s success indicates that ______. A. perseverance is a better predictor for success B. talent is necessary in one’s achievements C. high competence is key to high performance D. innovation results from strong motivation 53. We can know that Picasso was ______. A. good at career planning B. sensitive to public criticism C. satisfied with the present life D. brave to embrace the unknown 54. The underlined word “imperative” in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by “______”. A difficult B. important C. controversial D. superficial 55. The best title for the text is “______”. A. Einstein’s Pursuit of the Theory of Relativity B. The Creative Habits of Einstein, Picasso and Mozart C. Dedication of an Unusual Degree to Achieve Greatness D. The Great Contribution Made by Einstein, Picasso and Mozart 第II卷(本卷共6小题，共35分) 第三部分：写作 第一节：阅读表达(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 When Li Toh first came to China to pursue his flute (长笛) dream, the Malaysian man had never expected that his dream could take root in China. Toh’s love for the Chinese bamboo flute began in primary school when his elder brother joined the Chinese orchestra in middle school to learn to play the musical instrument. He said the clear sound of the bamboo flute guided him onto the road of flute learning. As he got older, Toh went to Singapore for further study. According to Toh, there were few professional Chinese bamboo flute teachers in Malaysia, and the learning environment for bamboo flute players was limited. In 2005, Toh made a bold decision. He applied for retention (保留) of his admission qualifications to the university he had already attended, and set off for Beijing. A new chapter of his life thus began. After getting his bachelor’s degree, Toh started to teach the Chinese bamboo flute in Malaysia and Singapore. His desire to improve his performance skills and his thirst for knowledge drove him back to Beijing to continue his studies. Toh had planned to return to Malaysia after graduation, but upon graduation, Guangxi Arts University offered him a job. During his stay in China, he has also joined teams and performed in countries such as Vietnam, the Philippines and Cambodia. They tried to combine the Chinese bamboo flute with local musical instruments. Communication and innovation promoted the development of diverse art culture and enriched the cultural layers of art. In recent years, Toh would return to Malaysia during holidays to promote the art of the Chinese bamboo flute. Having been in China for more than a decade, Toh’s love for the country has long been rooted in his heart, and he is looking forward to the prosperity and development of cultural industries in China. 56.

The exhibition tells us _____we should do something to stop air pollution. A. where B. why C. what D. which 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查宾语从句。句意：这个展览告诉我们为什么我们应该做一些事情来阻止空气污染。分析句子可知，本句为宾语从句，tell sb sth “ 告诉某人某事”， sth由句子来充当，从句中缺少表示原因的连接副词。故选择B。 13.

Take class notes Three sites —StudySoup, NexusNotes, and Stuvia— offer attractive pay for uploading and selling class notes to other students at your university. You usually get a bonus when someone signs up to get access to your notes, plus a payment for each set of notes that sell. You can earn $250 to $500 per class, per semester. Become a tutor Many younger students have fallen behind academically as they struggled with distance learning. That opens an opportunity for those who have mastered a subject, from high school algebra to Spanish, to teach that subject to others. A number of tutoring platforms allow you to sign up and tutor online or in person. Some of the best: Wyzant, Varsity Tutors, and, for those who want to teach music, LessonFace. Be a survey taker The best option in this category is a site called Prolific. What makes this site better than most is that it asks you to answer qualifying questions—age, income, family status, etc.—in advance. Then, the site sends you only the surveys that you’re qualified to take. Charge scooters Big campuses are often littered with electric scooters (小型摩托车) and bikes that can be unlocked and ridden around campus. Riders can drop the scooters just about anywhere. So scooter companies enlist (征募) “chargers” to pick them up, charge them overnight and return them to a designated (指定的) area early the next morning. If you have a late class, there are two benefits of signing up to charge. First, you earn between $5 and $20 for each scooter you return fully charged. You also get to ride the scooters home for free, which isn’t a bad way to get back to your dorm. 36. Which site allows one to get paid by uploading their class notes? A. Prolific. B. LessonFace. C. Wyzant. D. StudySoup. 37. Which one best suits students who are excellent in music? A. Taking class notes. B. Becoming a tutor. C. Being a survey taker. D. Charging scooters. 38. What can be inferred about Prolific? A. It offers the highest pay. B. It only chooses students with good grades. C. It helps researchers find suitable survey participants. D. It requires participants to sign up in advance. 39. What may make charging scooters attractive? A. It pays riders for charging scooters. B. It provides the most benefits for students. C. It offers a means of free transportation. D. It helps solve the litter problem on campus. 40. The passage mainly introduces ______. A. methods to do better in school B. job options for college students C. after-class activities for students D. ways to meet a full class schedule 【答案】36. D 37. B 38. C 39. A 40. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四份适合大学生的兼职工作。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据Take class notes部分“Three sites — StudySoup, NexusNotes and Stuvia — offer attractive pay for uploading and selling class notes to other students at your university. (StudySoup、NexusNotes和Stuvia这三个网站为上传课堂笔记和向大学其他学生出售课堂笔记提供了诱人的报酬。)”可知，StudySoup允许通过上传课堂笔记来获得报酬。故选D项。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据Become a tutor部分“Some of the best: Wyzant, Varsity Tutors, and, for those who want to teach music, LessonFace. (其中一些最好的平台包括：Wyzant、Varsity Tutors，以及对于想要教授音乐的人来说，还有LessonFace。)”可知，对于擅长音乐的学生来说，成为音乐导师是最合适的。故选B项。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据Be a survey taker部分“What makes this site better than most is that it asks you to answer qualifying questions—age, income, family status, etc.—in advance. Then, the site sends you only the surveys that you’re qualified to take. (这个网站比大多数网站好的地方在于，它会提前要求你回答一些资格问题，比如年龄、收入、家庭状况等。之后，该网站只会向你发送你有资格参与的调查。)”可知，Prolific网站通过提前让参与者回答资格问题，然后只发送他们符合条件的调查问卷，这有助于研究者找到合适的调查参与者。故选C项。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。根据Charge scooters部分“If you have a late class, there are two benefits of signing up to charge. First, you earn between $5 and $20 for each scooter you return fully charged. You also get to ride the scooters home for free, which isn’t a bad way to get back to your dorm. (如果你有晚课，报名参与充电有两个好处。首先，每辆完全充满电归还的小型摩托车，你可以赚取5至20美元。此外，你还可以免费骑摩托车回家，这是回到宿舍的一个不错的方式。)”可知，Charge scooters吸引人的地方是它会给为小型摩托车充电的骑车人付钱。故选A项。 【40题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容及第一段“Side hustles (副业) for college students deliver spending money while still offering the flexibility that a full class schedule requires. (适合大学生的兼职既能得到零用钱，又能保证完整课程表所要求的灵活性。)”可知，本文主要介绍了四份适合大学生的兼职，故最合适的主题是B选项“适合大学生的工作选择”。故选B项。 B When Milla Bizzot to finished her first 24-hour obstacle race, she went shoulder to shoulder with experienced competitors, ran 36 miles and completed hundreds of obstacles, all at the age of 9.“There are some double takes on the course, but she has been an inspiration to people who see her out there competing like that,” said Christian Bizzotto, Milla’s father and coach, who was proud of her. Milla is very fit for her age, and she proved it in completing the BattleFrog Xtreme 24-hour race in Miami. Milla also used the event to inspire other kids to be active, and show how competing in obstacle racing has helped her deal with being bullied at school. “We wanted to make her feel more empowered and make her feel that she wasn’t weak, and that changed her whole mindset,” her father said. In preparing for the 24-hour race, Milla trained 20 hours a week for 90 days, doing exercise in the gym for 4 hours every day after school. “The reactions are 90 percent good, but some are totally negative,” Christian said. “I’ve had people message me on Facebook saying I’m a child abuser, and that no 9-year-old should be doing a 24-hour race. But her own doctors were there supporting her and cheering her on. I want her to be a kid, and this is just something she really wants to do.” CrossFit and obstacle course racing have also helped Christian turn around his life. He got injured in a motorcycle accident. After he was finally able to get around without using a walker, he began his recovery by going for walks on the beach with Milla, and then began running every day. Next, he joined a CrossFit gym and enjoyed it so much that he opened his own gym to train others for events like CrossFit, BattleFrog and Spartan races. “I just wanted to create a hero that Milla could look up to,” he said. Next up for Milla is an invitation-only “Athletes Race”. Competitors also have to raise $5,000 for charity. 41. Christian Bizzotto, Milla’s father and coach, ______. A. was very strict with Milla B. was satisfied with what Milla did C. lost his legs in a motorcycle accident D. threw his walker with the help of CrossFit 42. What can we learn about Milla? A. She was always bullied by her schoolmates. B. She began to run because she was physically weak. C. Her father wanted her to get benefit from the obstacle race. D. She became more confident after the 24-hour obstacle race. 43. During her training for the 24-hour obstacle race, Milla most probably _________. A. had two days’ rest every week B. was always running with her father C. spent over 4 hours every day of a week D. took a hit because her father was injured 44. The reactions Christian got on the Internet ______. A. told us that Milla had a hard childhood B. showed that he was a real abuser C. encouraged Milla to challenge more difficult runs D. were mixed but what Milla did was supported by her doctors 45. What Christian did after his injury was mainly to ______. A. make money to open a gym B set a good example to Milla C. make money to raise his family D. get recovered as soon as possible 【答案】41. B 42. C 43. A 44. D 45. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了主人公米拉在迈阿密完成了BattleFrog Xtreme 24小时耐力赛，证明了她在这个年龄的突出表现。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“When Milla Bizzot to finished her first 24-hour obstacle race, she went shoulder to shoulder with experienced competitors, ran 36 miles and completed hundreds of obstacles, all at the age of 9.“There are some double takes on the course, but she has been an inspiration to people who see her out there competing like that,” said Christian Bizzotto, Milla’s father and coach, who was proud of her.(当Milla Bizzot完成她的第一次24小时障碍赛时，她与经验丰富的选手并肩比赛，跑了36英里，完成了数百个障碍，所有这些都是在9岁的时候完成的。Milla的父亲兼教练Christian Bizzotto为她感到骄傲，他说：“在赛场上有些人会有双重表现，但看到她在赛场上那样比赛的人，她一直是一种鼓舞。”)”可知，Milla的父亲兼教练Christian Bizzotto对Milla的表现感到满意。故选B项。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中““We wanted to make her feel more empowered and make her feel that she wasn’t weak, and that changed her whole mindset,” her father said.(“我们想让她觉得自己更有力量，让她觉得自己并不软弱，这改变了她的整个心态，”她的父亲说)”可推知，Milla的父亲想让她从障碍赛跑中受益。故选C项。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“In preparing for the 24-hour race, Milla trained 20 hours a week for 90 days, doing exercise in the gym for 4 hours every day after school.(为了准备24小时的比赛，Milla每周训练20小时，持续90天，每天放学后在健身房锻炼4小时)”可知，在24小时障碍赛的训练期间，Milla很可能每周休息两天。故选A项。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段““The reactions are 90 percent good, but some are totally negative,” Christian said. “I’ve had people message me on Facebook saying I’m a child abuser, and that no 9-year-old should be doing a 24-hour race. But her own doctors were there supporting her and cheering her on. I want her to be a kid, and this is just something she really wants to do.”(“90%的反应是好的，但也有一些完全是负面的，”Christian说。“有人在Facebook上给我发信息说我虐待儿童，说9岁的孩子不应该参加24小时的比赛。但她自己的医生在那里支持她，为她加油。我希望她还是个孩子，这是她真正想做的事情。”)”可知，Christian在网上得到的反应褒贬不一，但Milla的做法得到了医生的支持。故选D项。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“After he was finally able to get around without using a walker, he began his recovery by going for walks on the beach with Milla, and then began running every day.(他在一次摩托车事故中受了伤。在他终于可以不用助行器四处走动之后，他开始和Milla一起在海滩上散步，然后开始每天跑步)”以及倒数第二段“Next, he joined a CrossFit gym and enjoyed it so much that he opened his own gym to train others for events like CrossFit, BattleFrog and Spartan races. “I just wanted to create a hero that Milla could look up to,” he said.(接下来，他加入了一家CrossFit健身房，他非常喜欢它，以至于他开了自己的健身房，训练其他人参加CrossFit、BattleFrog和Spartan赛等项目。“我只是想创造一个Milla可以敬仰的英雄，”他说)”可推知，Christian受伤后所做的主要是给Milla树立一个好榜样。故选B项。 C High-speed Internet access is provided by fiber-optic cables (光纤电缆). In fiber-optic systems, light signals are carried over long distances with fibers covered by cables. They have excellent performance, but they also have their own problems. Many parts of the world — especially underdeveloped areas — are not able to afford to build fiber-optic networks. This prevents millions of people across the world from having access to the Internet. A new system being tested in India and Africa offers a partial solution to this problem. It was developed by Alphabet. Like fiber optics, the system uses light to carry high-speed Internet signals. But the light travels as beams (光束) through the air, without the need for fibers or cables. The beams can transmit high-speed data between two points with the help of receiving devices attached to structures. The technology is called Free Space Optical Communications (FSOC). The project is called Taara, using an FSOC system to transmit high-speed data signals between two large African cities — Brazzaville and Kinshasa. The two cities are only 4.8 kilometers apart from each other, separated by the Congo River. The transmission of data signals is possible as long as there is a direct line of sight between the system’s receiving devices. The system can be affected by some kinds of weather, like heavy fog, or by birds or other animals getting close to the equipment. But the Taara team says it has already made progress in making the system adjust to such environments to avoid any service outages. After adding its “pointing and tracking” equipment to beam connectivity across the river, Taara said the link provided nearly 700 terabytes of data in 20 days with 99.9 percent availability. It noted that that amount of data would be equal to that of watching a FIFA World Cup match 270,000 times. Baris Erkmen, the director of engineering for Taara, has reported similar results in tests of the system in India. He said the team admitted that it couldn’t expect to see “perfect reliability” in the system through all kinds of weather and conditions. However, he added, “We believe Taara’s links will continue to deliver similar performance and will play a key role in bringing faster, more affordable connectivity to people living in these cities.” 46. What can we say about fiber-optic systems? A. Safe and adaptable. B. Complex but popular. C. Effective but expensive. D. Demanding and reusable. 47. What’s the main difference between the fiber-optic system and the FSOC system? A. Their signal quality. B. Their coverage area. C. Their transmission speed. D. Their transmission medium. 48. What does the underlined word “outages” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Aging. B. Failure. C. Updating. D. Exposure. 49. Why does the author present data in the last paragraph? A. To show the successful improvement to Taara. B. To describe the competitive World Cup match. C. To prove the convenience of beam connectivity. D. To introduce the perfect reliability of the system. 50. What is Baris Erkmen’s attitude towards Taara? A. Positive. B. Cautious. C. Doubtful. D. Concerned. 【答案】46. C 47. D 48. B 49. A 50. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了FSOC系统为光纤电缆传输的弊端提供了部分解决方案，该系统利用光束来传输高速互联网信号。 【46题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“In fiber-optic systems, light signals are carried over long distances with fibers covered by cables. They have excellent performance, but they also have their own problems. Many parts of the world —especially underdeveloped areas — are not able to afford to build fiber-optic networks.”（在光纤系统中，光信号通过电缆覆盖的光纤进行长距离传输。他们有优秀的表现，但他们也有自己的问题。世界上许多地方——尤其是欠发达地区——没有能力建设光纤网络。）可推知，光纤系统有效但昂贵。故选C项。 【47题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段的“In fiber-optic systems, light signals are carried over long distances with fibers covered by cables. （在光纤系统中，光信号通过电缆覆盖的光纤进行长距离传输。）”和第二段中“But the light travels as beams ( 光束 ) through the air, without the need for fibers or cables. The beams can transmit high-speed data between two points with the help of receiving devices attached to structures. （但是光以光束的形式在空气中传播，不需要光纤或电缆。在连接在结构上的接收装置的帮助下，这些光束可以在两点之间传输高速数据。）”可推知，光纤系统和FSOC系统通过不同的方式传播，因此，它们的主要区别传播介质。故选D项。 【48题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“The system can be affected by some kinds of weather, like heavy fog, or by birds or other animals getting close to the equipment.”（该系统可能会受到某些天气的影响，比如大雾，或者鸟类或其他动物接近设备。）以及划线单词句中“But the Taara team says it has already made progress in making the system adjust to such environments to avoid…”（但Taara团队表示，他们已经在使系统适应这种环境以避免……）由此可知，此处为他们已经在使系统适应这种环境以避免任何服务中断方面取得了进展。故可猜测划线单词outages为“失败，中断”的意思，结合选项B项Failure“失败，中断”意思一致。故选B项。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“After adding its “pointing and tracking” equipment to beam connectivity across the river, Taara said the link provided nearly 700 terabytes of data in 20 days with 99.9 percent availability. It noted that that amount of data would be equal to that of watching a FIFA World Cup match 270,000 times. Baris Erkmen, the director of engineering for Taara, has reported similar results in tests of the system in India.”（Taara表示，在添加了“指向和跟踪”设备后，该链路在20天内提供了近700tb的数据，可用性为99.9%。它指出，这一数据量相当于观看27万次国际足联世界杯比赛的数据量。Taara的工程总监Baris Erkmen报告了该系统在印度测试的类似结果。）可推知，作者在最后一段展示数据是为了向Taara展示成功的改进。故选A项。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“He said the team admitted that it couldn’t expect to see “perfect reliability” in the system through all kinds of weather and conditions. However, he added, “We believe Taara’s links will continue to deliver similar performance and will play a key role in bringing faster, more affordable connectivity to people living in these cities.””（他说，该团队承认，他们不能指望在各种天气和条件下看到系统的“完美可靠性”。然而，他补充说，“我们相信Taara的网络将继续提供类似的性能，并将在为生活在这些城市的人们提供更快、更实惠的网络连接方面发挥关键作用。”）可推知，Baris Erkmen对Taara持积极肯定的态度。故选A项。 D Intelligence is not enough to create extraordinary work. The most creative people in history you admire approached problems differently. IQ alone cannot explain creative spark. “Creativity isn’t a talent. It’s a way of operating,” says John Cleese. It’s a central source of meaning in our lives. Creative geniuses are able to bring seemingly contradictor y element s together in unusual and unexpected ways. While there’s no “typical” creative type, Einstein, Picasso and Mozart shared common traits. You can be insanely talented but if you can’t consistently hone your craft (打磨技能), you can’t be great. The ability to stick with and pursue anything that means a lot to you over a long period of time is an important indicator (指标) of achieving anything worthwhile in life. Einstein had extremely high intelligence but he genuinely loved his pursuit of Relativity. He committed a greater percentage of his productive years pursuing the Theory of Relativity. And it meant everything to him. Creative people have a strong desire to work hard and long on what they love doing. The willingness to take risks, to break with the safety of tradition, and step outside the comfort zone is necessary for creativity. History’s creative geniuses risked more to get results. Unless you aim for comfort and stagnation (停滞), taking risks is imperative to every creative process. They valued the process of their work as much as the destination. They enjoyed the process as much as the ultimate outcome. They viewed obstacles as opportunities to explore and make progress. Picasso was once asked if he knew what a painting was going to look like when he started it. He answered, “No, of course not. If I knew, I wouldn’t bother doing it.” Curiosity is fundamental to your success. Einstein, Picasso and Mozart embraced curiosity, were open to new ideas, and persistent despite career setbacks. Mozart once wrote to a friend about his commitment to music and said, “People err who think my art comes easily to me. I assure you, dear friend, nobody has devoted so much time and thought to compositions as I. There is not a famous master whose music I have not industriously studied through many times.” 51. What can we know about creativity and intelligence? A. Intelligence is the decisive factor of success. B. Creativity has nothing to do with intelligence. C. There is more to creativity than just intelligence. D Creativity belongs to people with great intelligence. 52. Einstein’s success indicates that ______. A. perseverance is a better predictor for success B. talent is necessary in one’s achievements C. high competence is key to high performance D. innovation results from strong motivation 53. We can know that Picasso was ______. A. good at career planning B. sensitive to public criticism C. satisfied with the present life D. brave to embrace the unknown 54. The underlined word “imperative” in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by “______”. A. difficult B. important C. controversial D. superficial 55. The best title for the text is “______”. A. Einstein’s Pursuit of the Theory of Relativity B. The Creative Habits of Einstein, Picasso and Mozart C. Dedication of an Unusual Degree to Achieve Greatness D. The Great Contribution Made by Einstein, Picasso and Mozart 【答案】51. C 52. A 53. D 54. B 55. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。智力不足以创造非凡的作品。创意天才能够以不同寻常和意想不到的方式将看似矛盾的元素结合在一起。文章介绍了爱因斯坦、毕加索和莫扎特有着共同的创作习惯。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Intelligence is not enough to create extraordinary work. The most creative people in history you admire approached problems differently. IQ alone cannot explain creative spark.（智力不足以创造非凡的作品。你钦佩的历史上最有创造力的人解决问题的方式不同。单凭智商无法解释创造力的火花。）”可知，创造力不仅仅取决于智力。故选C。 【52题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Einstein had extremely high intelligence but he genuinely loved his pursuit of Relativity. He committed a greater percentage of his productive years pursuing the Theory of Relativity. And it meant everything to him. Creative people have a strong desire to work hard and long on what they love doing.（爱因斯坦智商极高，但他真正热爱对相对论的追求。他将自己一生中的大部分时间都用于研究相对论。这对他来说意味着一切。富有创造力的人有强烈的愿望，愿意在自己喜欢做的事情上努力工作。）”可知，爱因斯坦的成功表明毅力是成功的更好预测因素。故选A。 【53题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“Picasso was once asked if he knew what a painting was going to look like when he started it. He answered, ‘No, of course not. If I knew, I wouldn’t bother doing it.’（有人曾问毕加索，当他开始画一幅画时，他是否知道它最终会是什么样子。他回答说：‘当然不知道。如果我知道，我就不会费心去画了。’）”可知，毕加索勇敢拥抱未知。故选D。 【54题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第四段划线词前“The willingness to take risks, to break with the safety of tradition, and step outside the comfort zone is necessary for creativity. History’s creative geniuses risked more to get results. （敢于冒险、打破传统的安全感、走出舒适区是创造力的必要条件。历史上的创造天才为了取得成果冒了更大的风险。）”可知，强调了冒险对于每一个创造过程都是必不可少的。划线词imperative可以用important“重要的”替换。故选B。 【55题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“It’s a central source of meaning in our lives. Creative geniuses are able to bring seemingly contradictor y element s together in unusual and unexpected ways. While there’s no “typical” creative type, Einstein, Picasso and Mozart shared common traits.（它是我们生活中意义的核心来源。创意天才能够以不同寻常和意想不到的方式将看似矛盾的元素结合在一起。虽然没有“典型”的创意类型，但爱因斯坦、毕加索和莫扎特有着共同的特质。）”可知，文章介绍了爱因斯坦、毕加索和莫扎特的创作习惯。故选B。 第II卷(本卷共6小题，共35分) 第三部分：写作 第一节：阅读表达(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 When Li Toh first came to China to pursue his flute (长笛) dream, the Malaysian man had never expected that his dream could take root in China. Toh’s love for the Chinese bamboo flute began in primary school when his elder brother joined the Chinese orchestra in middle school to learn to play the musical instrument. He said the clear sound of the bamboo flute guided him onto the road of flute learning. As he got older, Toh went to Singapore for further study. According to Toh, there were few professional Chinese bamboo flute teachers in Malaysia, and the learning environment for bamboo flute players was limited. In 2005, Toh made a bold decision. He applied for retention (保留) of his admission qualifications to the university he had already attended, and set off for Beijing. A new chapter of his life thus began. After getting his bachelor’s degree, Toh started to teach the Chinese bamboo flute in Malaysia and Singapore. His desire to improve his performance skills and his thirst for knowledge drove him back to Beijing to continue his studies. Toh had planned to return to Malaysia after graduation, but upon graduation, Guangxi Arts University offered him a job. During his stay in China, he has also joined teams and performed in countries such as Vietnam, the Philippines and Cambodia. They tried to combine the Chinese bamboo flute with local musical instruments. Communication and innovation promoted the development of diverse art culture and enriched the cultural layers of art. In recent years, Toh would return to Malaysia during holidays to promote the art of the Chinese bamboo flute. Having been in China for more than a decade, Toh’s love for the country has long been rooted in his heart, and he is looking forward to the prosperity and development of cultural industries in China. 56.

(1 word) __________________________________________________________________ 58. Why did Toh return to Beijing? (no more than 13 words) __________________________________________________________________ 59. What did Toh do in China after graduation? (no more than 12 words) __________________________________________________________________ 60. What do you think of Toh? Please give your reasons. (no more than 20 words) __________________________________________________________________ 【答案】56. Its clear sound. 57. Brave/Courageous. 58. Because he wanted to improve his performance skills and get more knowledge. Or: Because of his desire to improve his performance skills and to get knowledge. 59. He taught at Guangxi Arts University and performed in different countries. 60. He is a determined man, because he chose to go to Beijing to learn the Chinese bamboo flute better. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了马来西亚人Toh学习中国长笛的经历。 【56题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第二段中“He said the clear sound of the bamboo flute guided him onto the road of flute learning.”（他说，竹笛清脆的声音引导他走上了学习长笛的道路。）可知，清脆的竹笛声引导他走上学习长笛的道路。故答案是：Its clear sound. 【57题详解】 考查词义猜测。根据第三段中“According to Toh, there were few professional Chinese bamboo flute teachers in Malaysia, and the learning environment for bamboo flute players was limited.”（据Toh介绍，马来西亚专业的中国竹笛老师很少，竹笛手的学习环境也很有限。）以及“He applied for retention (保留) of his admission qualifications to the university he had already attended, and set off for Beijing. A new chapter of his life thus began.”（他申请保留已经上过的那所大学的录取资格，动身前往北京。他人生的新篇章就此开始了。）由此可知，此处为2005年，Toh做了一个大胆的决定。故可猜测划线单词bold为“大胆的，勇敢的”意思，故答案是：Brave/Courageous。 【58题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第四段中“His desire to improve his performance skills and his thirst for knowledge drove him back to Beijing to continue his studies.”（他渴望提高自己的表演技巧和对知识的渴望驱使他回到北京继续他的学业。）可知，Toh回到北京是因为他想提高自己的表演技巧，获得更多的知识。故答案是：Because he wanted to improve his performance skills and get more knowledge. 【59题详解】 考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段中“Toh had planned to return to Malaysia after graduation, but upon graduation, Guangxi Arts University offered him a job. During his stay in China, he has also joined teams and performed in countries such as Vietnam, the Philippines and Cambodia. They tried to combine the Chinese bamboo flute with local musical instruments.”（Toh原计划毕业后回马来西亚，但毕业后，广西艺术大学为他提供了一份工作。在中国期间，他还加入了越南、菲律宾和柬埔寨等国家的团队并进行了演出。他们试图把中国的竹笛和当地的乐器结合起来。）可知，毕业后Toh在中国广西艺术学院任教，并在多国演出。故答案是：He taught at Guangxi Arts University and performed in different countries. 【60题详解】 考查推理判断。根据文章大意以及第一段“When Li Toh first came to China to pursue his flute (长笛) dream, the Malaysian man had never expected that his dream could take root in China.”（当Li Toh第一次来到中国追求他的长笛梦想时，这位马来西亚人从未想到他的梦想可以在中国扎根。）和第三段中“In 2005, Toh made a bold decision. He applied for retention of his admission qualifications to the university he had already attended, and set off for Beijing. A new chapter of his life thus began.”（2005年，Toh做了一个大胆的决定。他申请保留已经上过的那所大学的录取资格，动身前往北京。他人生的新篇章就此开始了。）由此可推知，Toh是一个有决心的人，因为他选择去北京更好地学习中国竹笛。故答案是：He is a determined man, because he chose to go to Beijing to learn the Chinese bamboo flute better. 第二节：书面表达(满分25分) 61. 假如你是晨光中学的李津。你校本学期拟开展 Interviewing A Foreigner in China 活动，你和小组成员准备邀请你的外教Chris作为访谈嘉宾，让他谈谈在中国的学习、工作和生活感受。请你代表小组，给Chris老师写一封信，邀请他参加，内容包括： (1)邀请目的； (2)拟采访的主题 (至少两个方面)； (3)邀请和祝愿。 注意：(1)词数不少于100； (2)内容充实、行文连贯。 Dear Chris, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Jin 【答案】Dear Chris, I hope this letter finds you well.
