But she stayed attentive as the 85-year-old told her about herself. A man behind her in line noticed what was happening, too. Gerald Swindle was in a hurry to go hunting that day and was a bit annoyed with how long their conversation was going. But as Gerald waited for his turn, his attitude began to change. Not only did he conclude that hunting wasn’t more important than their conversation, but found himself captivated by what the elderly woman said once he stopped to listen. “You were patient with this lady,” Gerald later said in a video recalling what had happened. “You did nothing but followed her conversation, listening to every word she said, and never rushing her.” He added, “You showed me what people ought to be. Sometimes it might be the only person they talk to this week. You inspired me and sometimes I need that, so I appreciate it.” Since posting the video online, it’s become popular with nearly 2 million views! “I never expected this to come about because it was just a regular day for me. I was just doing my job,” Emily said. As the comment section quickly filled with others sharing how inspired they felt by Emily’s kindness, higher-ups at Dollar General heard of the story. One day, members from the company’s leadership team showed up to her store and presented her with flower, and a $1,000 donation to a local elementary school. Best of all, that elderly woman has since come back to the store several times, and the two of them are becoming quite close. “What I’ve learned is so amazing—you can have an effect on people just by being yourself, working at the Dollar General,” she said. 24. How did Gerald act at the talk between Emily and the customer at first? A. He listened with full attention. B. He focused on his own hunting. C. He felt lucky to be not talkative. D. He felt disturbed at the long talk. 25. What does the underlined word “captivated” mean in Paragraph 2? A. Stuck. B. Angered. C. Inspired. D. Attracted. 26. What was the post about? A. What patience Emily showed to the customer. B. Why Dollar General became popular online. C. How Gerald dealt with the customer attentively. D. How Emily was praised by her company leader. 27. What did Emily learn from the story? A. Caring for the old can bring benefit to us. B. Listening to people is a skill to be mastered. C. It’s sometimes easy to influence other people. D. Being a cashier is a good way for connection. 【答案】24. D 25. D 26. A 27. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。一家商店的收银员耐心倾听一位老年顾客的倾诉并与之交谈，她的故事被发布到网上，引起人们的共鸣。 24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Gerald Swindle was in a hurry to go hunting that day and was a bit annoyed with how long their conversation was going.( Gerald Swindle那天急着去打猎，对他们的谈话持续了这么长时间感到有些恼火)”可知，Gerald Swindle那天赶着去打猎，前面那个顾客与收银员长时间的对话让他感觉被打扰了，故选D项。 【25题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线词前“But as Gerald waited for his turn, his attitude began to change. Not only did he conclude that hunting wasn’t more important than their conversation(可是Gerald等着轮到他的时候，他的态度开始改变了。他不仅得出结论，打猎并不比他们的谈话更重要)”及划线词后“he stopped to listen(他停下来倾听)”可知，Gerald不仅开始倾听这位老人对收银员的倾诉，而且对她说的话“很感兴趣”，从语境的递进关系判断，划线词的含义是“吸引”。故选D项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段内容“‘You were patient with this lady,’ Gerald later said in a video recalling what had happened. ‘You did nothing but followed her conversation, listening to every word she said, and never rushing her.’(‘你对这位女士很有耐心，’Gerald后来在一段视频中回忆发生的事情时说。‘你什么也没做，只是跟着她说话，听她说的每一个字，从不催促她。’)”可知，Gerald在一家名为Dollar General的商店里看到收银员艾米丽耐心倾听一个老年顾客的讲述，Gerald把这段对话的视频发到网上，所以这条视频是关于Emily对顾客表现出的耐心，故选A项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段 “‘What I’ve learned is so amazing—you can have an effect on people just by being yourself, working at the Dollar General,’ she said.(‘我所学到的是如此惊人——你可以通过在Dollar General工作，做你自己来影响别人，’她说。)”可知，Emily谈到自己的感悟：有时候很容易影响别人，故选C项。 C It’s a popular belief that a fish’s memory lasts for only seven seconds. It may seem sad to think that they don’t remember what they’ve eaten or where they’ve been, and they don’t recognize you or any of their friends —every moment in their life would be like seeing the world for the first time. But don’t be so quick to feel sorry for them. A new study has found that fish have a much better memory than we used to think. In fact, certain species of fish can even remember events from as long as 12 days ago. In the study, researchers from MacEwan University in Canada trained a kind of fish called African cichlids to go to a certain area of their tank to get food. They then waited for 12 days before putting them back in the tank again. Researchers used computer software to monitor the fish’s movements. They found that after such a long break the fish still went to the same place where they first got food. This suggested that they could remember their past experiences. In fact, scientists had been thinking for a long time that African cichlids might have a good memory. An earlier study showed that they behaved aggressively (挑衅地) in front of certain fish, perhaps because they remembered their past “fights”. But until the latest findings, there was no clear evidence. Just as a good memory can make our lives easier, it also plays an important part when a fish is trying to survive in the wild. “If fish are able to remember that a certain area contains safe food, they will be able to go back to that area without putting their lives at risks,” lead researcher Trevor Hamilton told Live Science. For a long time, fish were placed far below chimpanzees, dolphins and mice on the list of smart animals. But this study has given scientists a new understanding of their intelligence. 28. What is the article mainly about? A. Fish having very bad memories. B. Fish being smarter than we thought. C. How fish improve their memory. D. What we can learn from fish. 29. According to the article, people used to believe that _______. A. fish could only remember part of their past experiences B. fish could remember things that happened 12 days ago C. a fish’s memory lasted for only seven minutes D. fish didn’t recognize any of their friends 30. How can fish benefit most from a good memory? They can remember _______. A. where to get food and survive B. their enemies and fight C. where to escape to when in danger D. their friends and help each other 31. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Fish behave aggressively in a fight. B. Fish can remember more. C. Fish don’t belong to the list of smart animals. D. Only African cichlids have a good memory. 【答案】28. B 29. D 30. A 31. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文讲述了一项新的研究发现，鱼的记忆力比我们过去认为的要好得多。 【28题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“A new study has found that fish have a much better memory than we used to think. (一项新的研究发现，鱼的记忆力比我们过去认为的要好得多)”以及最后一段“For a long time, fish were placed far below chimpanzees, dolphins and mice on the list of smart animals. But this study has given scientists a new understanding of their intelligence.(很长时间，鱼被放置在远远低于黑猩猩，海豚和老鼠的名单上，但是这项研究使科学家们对他们的智力有了新的认识)”结合本文讲述了一项新的研究发现，鱼的记忆力比我们过去认为的要好得多。可知，B项“鱼比我们认为的聪明”是文章的大意。故选B。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“It may seem sad to think that they don’t remember what they’ve eaten or where they’ve been, and they don’t recognize you or any of their friends —every moment in their life would be like seeing the world for the first time.(想到他们不记得吃过什么，去过哪里，不认识你或他们的任何朋友，这似乎很难过——他们生命中的每一刻都像是第一次看到这个世界)”可知，人们过去认为鱼不认识他们的任何朋友。故选D。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“They found that after such a long break the fish still went to the same place where they first got food. This suggested that they could remember their past experiences.(他们发现，休息这么长时间的鱼还能回到第一次得到食物的地方。这表明他们可以记住他们过去的经历)”可知，鱼类可以记住在哪里能得到食物和生存。故选A。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“A new study has found that fish have a much better memory than we used to think. (一项新的研究发现，鱼的记忆力比我们过去认为的要好得多)”可知，B选项“鱼能记住更多”正确。故选B。 D Have you ever found that you were able to sleep better with an air conditioner or fan running or perhaps with the sound of rain falling outside? If so, then you’re already familiar with white noise. White noise refers to a noise that has a mixture of all the audible (听得见的) frequencies that the human ear can detect. It is a combination of all the frequencies of sound played at once. It can cover the sounds of other noises because of its various frequencies, leading many people to experience its calming effects. Studies have that listening to white noise positively found affects sleep. For example, people living in a high-noise area of New York City fell asleep faster and spent more of their time in bed asleep while listening to white noise. In another study, listening to white noise through headphones improved sleep quality for seriously ill patients in a loud hospital room. However, more research is needed to confirm whether the characteristics of white noise itself improve sleep or whether the sound primarily helps by covering background noise. However, a recent analysis of multiple studies looking at white noise’s effect on sleep has produced mixed results. The researchers are doubtful about the quality of existing evidence and conclude that further research is necessary in order to widely recommend white noise as a sleep aid. They also note that in some instances, white noise can disturb a person’s sleep and may affect their hearing. Despite that, researchers are still optimistic that the steady hum of white noise might reduce a sleeper’s sensitivity to unpredictable noises from the environment, such as transportation sounds like cars and planes, which are considered a major contributor to poor sleep. 32. Why does white noise have calming effects? A. It can absorb other noises. B. It can help people sleep better. C. It can be detected by human ears. D. It can cover the sounds of other noises. 33. How does the author explain the benefits of white noise? A. By giving examples. B. By telling stories. C. By asking questions. D. By making comparisons. 34. Which statement may researchers agree with according to the last two paragraphs? A. White noise should be strongly recommended as a sleep aid. B. Harmful effects of white noise have become a major concern. C. Poor sleep will make people sensitive to the unpredictable noises. D. More researches are needed to confirm the effect of white noise on sleep. 35. Which of the following can be a suitable tile for the text? A. How Does White Noise Work? B. Is White Noise Harmful in Any Way? C. Does White Noise Help You Sleep? D. What Are the Benefits of White Noise? 【答案】32. D 33. A 34. D 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述白噪音(White noise)对睡眠有积极影响，但还有待进一步研究证明。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“It is a combination of all the frequencies of sound played at once. It can cover the sounds of other noises because of its various frequencies, leading many people to experience its calming effects. (它是同时播放的所有频率的声音的组合。由于其不同的频率，它可以掩盖其他噪音的声音，使许多人体验到它的镇静效果。)”可知白噪音有镇静作用是因为它可以掩盖其他声音。故选D。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Studies have that listening to white noise positively found affects sleep. For example, people living in a high-noise area of New York City fell asleep faster and spent more of their time in bed asleep while listening to white noise. In another study, listening to white noise through headphones improved sleep quality for seriously ill patients in a loud hospital room. (研究表明，听白噪音对睡眠有积极的影响。例如，生活在纽约市高噪音地区的人入睡更快，并且花更多的时间在床上睡觉，同时听白噪音。在另一项研究中，在嘈杂的病房里，戴着耳机听白噪音可以改善重病患者的睡眠质量。)”可知作者通过举例解释白噪音的好处，故选A。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“However, a recent analysis of multiple studies looking at white noise’s effect on sleep has produced mixed results. The researchers are doubtful about the quality of existing evidence and conclude that further research is necessary in order to widely recommend white noise as a sleep aid. (然而，最近一项针对白噪音对睡眠影响的多项研究的分析得出了不同的结果。研究人员对现有证据的质量表示怀疑，并得出结论，为了广泛推荐白噪音作为助眠剂，还需要进一步的研究。)”和第五段“Despite that, researchers are still optimistic that the steady hum of white noise might reduce a sleeper’s sensitivity to unpredictable noises from the environment, such as transportation sounds like cars and planes, which are considered a major contributor to poor sleep. (尽管如此，研究人员仍然乐观地认为，白噪音的持续嗡嗡声可能会降低睡眠者对环境中不可预测的噪音的敏感性，比如汽车和飞机等交通工具的声音，这些噪音被认为是导致睡眠质量差的主要原因。)”可推知研究人员会同意需要更多的研究来证实白噪音对睡眠的影响的观点。故选D。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第三段“Studies have that listening to white noise positively found affects sleep. For example, people living in a high-noise area of New York City fell asleep faster and spent more of their time in bed asleep while listening to white noise. In another study, listening to white noise through headphones improved sleep quality for seriously ill patients in a loud hospital room. (研究表明，听白噪音对睡眠有积极的影响。例如，生活在纽约市高噪音地区的人入睡更快，并且花更多的时间在床上睡觉，同时听白噪音。在另一项研究中，在嘈杂的病房里，戴着耳机听白噪音可以改善重病患者的睡眠质量。)”可知文章讲述白噪音(White noise)对睡眠有积极影响，但还有待进一步研究证明，C选项“白噪音有助于睡眠吗?”符合文章主旨大意，适合作为标题，故选C。 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。 Sometimes dealing with your negative emotions can be challenging.

(当生活充满压力时，我们很容易屈服于愤怒或沮丧的情绪。)”和空后“Here are some ways that can help you better deal with a wide range of negative emotions. (有一些方法可以帮助你更好地处理各种各样的负面情绪。)”可知，空处和空前形成转折关系，说明有办法可以处理负面情绪，G项“However, you will be more productive if you can handle them.(然而，如果你能处理好它们，你的工作效率会更高。)”符合，G项中的“them”指代空前的“feelings of anger or depression”，即愤怒或抑郁的情绪。故选G项。 【37题详解】 根据段落小标题“Acknowledge your feelings. (承认你的情绪。)”可知，本段主要介绍承认自己的情绪，且根据空后“For example, if you are feeling nervous, ask yourself, “What am I afraid of?” Acknowledging the issue can help you figure out how to handle it. (比如，当你感到紧张时，问自己：“我害怕什么？”承认问题能帮助你弄清楚如何解决问题。)”可知，空后给出具体的例子来说明要承认你的消极情绪，故F项“When you experience a negative emotion, acknowledge it .(当你经历消极情绪时，承认它。)”符合。故选F项。 【38题详解】 根据本段内容“Small changes can have a big impact on your emotional health. (小小的改变会对你的情绪健康产生很大的影响。)”可知，本段主要讲改变所处的环境会影响人的情绪。故B项“Have a try to change your environment.

(当你知道某件事引起了你的消极情绪时，试着把你的注意力从这种情况上移开。例如，如果你被困在交通堵塞和迟到中，把你的注意力从交通转移到听你最喜欢的CD。)”可知，空前举例说明，要学会把注意力从引起消极情绪的事情上转移开，故E项“Focusing on something positive can help to calm you down. (专注于积极的事情可以帮助你冷静下来。)”承接上文，说明应该将注意力转移到积极的事情上和这样做的好处。故选E项。 【40题详解】 根据本段小标题“Talk about your feeling. (谈论你的感受。)”可知，本段主要介绍要谈论自己的感受，且根据空后“but do so without shouting. (但是不要大喊大叫。)”可知，空后提到谈论感受的时候不要大喊大叫，要冷静，故A项“It’s fine to express anger or frustration (表达愤怒和沮丧是可以的)”符合，表达愤怒和沮丧是可以的，但是不要大喊大叫。故选A项。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My daughter and I were swimming in our pool one summer day.

I had taken to delivering newspapers to support myself and my education. I would be up every morning by 5 am and walk five kilometres from where I lived to the newspaper office. By 6 am, I would collect 50 copies which must have weighed over five kilograms. My delivery range spanned (横跨) three kilometres. After distributing the copies, I would rush home—another three kilometres away—cook my breakfast, and be off to my school. One Friday morning, I got home after my deliveries, finding Afzal, a boy from the neighbourhood, at my doorstep. Afzal said his mother wanted to see me. When I asked him why, Afzal said, “She will tell you.” Tired after walking around for over 11 kilometres, I was looking forward to breakfast and some rest. I assumed his mother wished to subscribe (定期订购) to the newspaper, so I followed him to his home nearby. A woman in her 40s opened the door. I later learned she was Afzal’s mother, Mrs Kader. She asked me to sit, pulled up her chair next to mine and gently asked, “Tell me about your routine, right from the time you wake up in the morning.” I wasn’t quite sure why she wanted to know, but I told her about my morning job in a few words. She asked me, “How many miles do you walk every day?” I replied, “A little more than 11 kilometres.” My reply shocked her. Then she patted my back and went inside, reappearing carrying a large plate full of food for breakfast for me. It was a heart y breakfast, one that brought back memories of happy days spent with my parents. Later, as I was about to leave after thanking them, Mrs Kader asked me to wait and she went inside again. 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。 Then Mrs Kader appeared again, with a new bicycle. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I bowed to Mrs Kader gratefully and left for school. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： Then Mrs Kader appeared again, with a new bicycle. It was a brand new black bicycle which I had been looking forward to owning someday. “This is for those who are in need. Therefore, it’s for you!” she said with a smile, explaining that she was impressed by my spirit of struggling for life whenever she saw my rushing figure. Mrs Kader put her arms around me, gave me a gentle hug and said, “My boy, you deserve it.” Hearing that, I was shocked and more than appreciative for her generosity and kindness. I didn’t even realize that my eyes had welled up. I bowed to Mrs Kader gratefully and left for school. This time I did not have to walk or run in a rush every day—I had the bicycle, which really made my life much easier afterwards. With the incredible bicycle, I could deliver my papers more effectively, thus having more time left for my studies. Even after many years, I still kept this bike in good condition. It witnessed my journey to my new life, and more significantly, it reminded me of a kind-hearted gesture from a stranger. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者18岁时送报纸来养活自己和支付教育的费用，作者每天要走很长的路，一天早上，送完报纸后，邻居阿夫扎尔说他的妈妈想见作者，作者跟着去了，作者很想吃早餐，阿夫扎尔的母亲叫作者说出自己每天的生活，并问作者一天要走多少路，当得知作者要走超过11公里的路时，阿夫扎尔的母亲大为震惊，然后她给作者做了一顿早餐，作者离开时，卡德尔太太让作者等一下，然后她又进去了。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“接着，Kader太太又出现了，骑着一辆新自行车。”可知，第一段可描写作者看到卡德尔太太要送自己一辆自行车后的感受。 ②由第二段首句内容“我感激地向Kader夫人鞠了一躬，然后去上学了。”可知，第二段可描写自行车给作者带来了什么好处。 2.续写线索：Mrs Kader解释为什么要送自行车——Mrs Kader拥抱作者——作者感激——自行车改变了作者的生活——多年后作者仍然留着自行车——自行车的意义 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①解释：explain that.../interpret that... ②拥抱：give sb. a hug/embrace sb. ③保留：keep/retain 情绪类 ①震惊：be shocked/be astonished ②感激：be appreciative/be grateful 【点睛】[高分句型1] It was a brand new black bicycle which I had been looking forward to owning someday.

B When a woman was talkative while checking out at a Dollar General, her cashier, Emily Dunean didn’t think much of it. But she stayed attentive as the 85-year-old told her about herself. A man behind her in line noticed what was happening, too. Gerald Swindle was in a hurry to go hunting that day and was a bit annoyed with how long their conversation was going. But as Gerald waited for his turn, his attitude began to change. Not only did he conclude that hunting wasn’t more important than their conversation, but found himself captivated by what the elderly woman said once he stopped to listen. “You were patient with this lady,” Gerald later said in a video recalling what had happened. “You did nothing but followed her conversation, listening to every word she said, and never rushing her.” He added, “You showed me what people ought to be. Sometimes it might be the only person they talk to this week. You inspired me and sometimes I need that, so I appreciate it.” Since posting the video online, it’s become popular with nearly 2 million views! “I never expected this to come about because it was just a regular day for me. I was just doing my job,” Emily said. As the comment section quickly filled with others sharing how inspired they felt by Emily’s kindness, higher-ups at Dollar General heard of the story. One day, members from the company’s leadership team showed up to her store and presented her with flower, and a $1,000 donation to a local elementary school. Best of all, that elderly woman has since come back to the store several times, and the two of them are becoming quite close. “What I’ve learned is so amazing—you can have an effect on people just by being yourself, working at the Dollar General,” she said. 24. How did Gerald act at the talk between Emily and the customer at first? A. He listened with full attention. B. He focused on his own hunting. C. He felt lucky to be not talkative. D. He felt disturbed at the long talk. 25. What does the underlined word “captivated” mean in Paragraph 2? A. Stuck. B. Angered. C. Inspired. D. Attracted. 26. What was the post about? A. What patience Emily showed to the customer. B. Why Dollar General became popular online. C. How Gerald dealt with the customer attentively. D. How Emily was praised by her company leader. 27. What did Emily learn from the story? A. Caring for the old can bring benefit to us. B. Listening to people is a skill to be mastered. C. It’s sometimes easy to influence other people. D. Being a cashier is a good way for connection. C It’s a popular belief that a fish’s memory lasts for only seven seconds. It may seem sad to think that they don’t remember what they’ve eaten or where they’ve been, and they don’t recognize you or any of their friends —every moment in their life would be like seeing the world for the first time. But don’t be so quick to feel sorry for them. A new study has found that fish have a much better memory than we used to think. In fact, certain species of fish can even remember events from as long as 12 days ago. In the study, researchers from MacEwan University in Canada trained a kind of fish called African cichlids to go to a certain area of their tank to get food. They then waited for 12 days before putting them back in the tank again. Researchers used computer software to monitor the fish’s movements. They found that after such a long break the fish still went to the same place where they first got food. This suggested that they could remember their past experiences. In fact, scientists had been thinking for a long time that African cichlids might have a good memory. An earlier study showed that they behaved aggressively (挑衅地) in front of certain fish, perhaps because they remembered their past “fights”. But until the latest findings, there was no clear evidence. Just as a good memory can make our lives easier, it also plays an important part when a fish is trying to survive in the wild. “If fish are able to remember that a certain area contains safe food, they will be able to go back to that area without putting their lives at risks,” lead researcher Trevor Hamilton told Live Science. For a long time, fish were placed far below chimpanzees, dolphins and mice on the list of smart animals. But this study has given scientists a new understanding of their intelligence. 28.

D Have you ever found that you were able to sleep better with an air conditioner or fan running or perhaps with the sound of rain falling outside? If so, then you’re already familiar with white noise. White noise refers to a noise that has a mixture of all the audible (听得见的) frequencies that the human ear can detect. It is a combination of all the frequencies of sound played at once. It can cover the sounds of other noises because of its various frequencies, leading many people to experience its calming effects. Studies have that listening to white noise positively found affects sleep. For example, people living in a high-noise area of New York City fell asleep faster and spent more of their time in bed asleep while listening to white noise. In another study, listening to white noise through headphones improved sleep quality for seriously ill patients in a loud hospital room. However, more research is needed to confirm whether the characteristics of white noise itself improve sleep or whether the sound primarily helps by covering background noise. However, a recent analysis of multiple studies looking at white noise’s effect on sleep has produced mixed results. The researchers are doubtful about the quality of existing evidence and conclude that further research is necessary in order to widely recommend white noise as a sleep aid. They also note that in some instances, white noise can disturb a person’s sleep and may affect their hearing. Despite that, researchers are still optimistic that the steady hum of white noise might reduce a sleeper’s sensitivity to unpredictable noises from the environment, such as transportation sounds like cars and planes, which are considered a major contributor to poor sleep. 32. Why does white noise have calming effects? A. It can absorb other noises. B. It can help people sleep better. C. It can be detected by human ears. D. It can cover the sounds of other noises. 33. How does the author explain the benefits of white noise? A By giving examples. B. By telling stories. C. By asking questions. D. By making comparisons. 34. Which statement may researchers agree with according to the last two paragraphs? A. White noise should be strongly recommended as a sleep aid. B. Harmful effects of white noise have become a major concern. C. Poor sleep will make people sensitive to the unpredictable noises. D. More researches are needed to confirm the effect of white noise on sleep. 35. Which of the following can be a suitable tile for the text? A How Does White Noise Work? B. Is White Noise Harmful in Any Way? C. Does White Noise Help You Sleep? D. What Are the Benefits of White Noise? 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。 Sometimes dealing with your negative emotions can be challenging.

Thanks for your listening! 第二节 （满分25分） 67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 As a senior editor in a famous press, I always think of days twenty years before when I was 18, I lived with my grandparents, and my parents earned their living in another city, struggling to support our family. I had taken to delivering newspapers to support myself and my education. I would be up every morning by 5 am and walk five kilometres from where I lived to the newspaper office. By 6 am I would collect 50 copies which must have weighed over five kilograms. My delivery range spanned (横跨) three kilometres. After distributing the copies, I would rush home—another three kilometres away—cook my breakfast, and be off to my school. One Friday morning, I got home after my deliveries, finding Afzal, a boy from the neighbourhood, at my doorstep. Afzal said his mother wanted to see me. When I asked him why, Afzal said, “She will tell you.” Tired after walking around for over 11 kilometres, I was looking forward to breakfast and some rest. I assumed his mother wished to subscribe (定期订购) to the newspaper, so I followed him to his home nearby. A woman in her 40s opened the door. I later learned she was Afzal’s mother Mrs Kader. She asked me to sit, pulled up her chair next to mine and gently asked, “Tell me about your routine, right from the time you wake up in the morning.” I wasn’t quite sure why she wanted to know, but I told her about my morning job in a few words. She asked me, “How many miles do you walk every day?” I replied, “A little more than 11 kilometres.” My reply shocked her. Then she patted my back and went inside, reappearing carrying a large plate full of food for breakfast for me. It was a heart y breakfast, one that brought back memories of happy days spent with my parents. Later, as I was about to leave after thanking them, Mrs Kader asked me to wait and she went inside again. 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。 Then Mrs Kader appeared again, with a new bicycle. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I bowed to Mrs Kader gratefully and left for school. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
