Now, the 87-year-old grandmother is the proud author of six books. She learned her first character in 1996, after her husband died in a devastating car accident, when her daughter Zhang Ailing suggested that she learn to read to take her mind off the loneliness and sadness. The elderly woman bad her own way of learning. She composed lyrics for songs, and asked children to write them down, so that she could read each character as she sang the songs again and again. Whenever she came across characters she didn’t know on pamphlets, bus stops, or shop signs, she found someone to ask. “It sounds unbelievable, and my brother used to laugh at my daydreams.” the grandmother says. She first put pen to paper in 2012, at the age of 75. It was not easy. Sometimes, completing a single sentence could take a day. As a college teacher and a writer herself, Zhang gave her mother a lot of encouragement and help. The first book, Time of Trouble, Time of Poverty, was published later that year, and proved to be a success. Some critics even hailed it as the “lived history of a nation plagued by war, death and hunger”. So far, the elderly woman has published six books, totaling more than 600,000 characters in length. In her spare time, she is also learning painting and calligraphy. “I would like to be a writer, a painter and a calligrapher,” she says, adding that her dream now is to have her own art exhibition when she is 90. “If I could live as long as 130, would you still say that it is too late for me to start after 60?” she asks, jokingly. 4. Why did Jiang Shumei start to learn Chinese characters? A. To challenge herself B. Her daughter’s car accident. C. Her husband’s suggestion D. To get rid of sorrow. 5. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. How she learned characters. B. How she met new characters. C. How she composed songs. D. How she learnt to sing the songs. 6. What did Jiang Shumei’s brother think of her? A. She’s determined. B. She’s odd. C. She’s severe. D. She’s admirable. 7. What can we learn from Jiang Shumei’s words in the last paragraph? A. Facts speak louder than words. B. Where there’s life, there’s hope. C. It’s never too late to learn. D. No pains, no gains. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了Jiang Shumei在60岁开始学习汉字并后来成为一名作家的励志故事。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“She learned her first character in 1996, after her husband died in a devastating car accident, when her daughter Zhang Ailing suggested that she learn to read to take her mind off the loneliness and sadness.(1996年，她的丈夫在一场严重的车祸中去世，她的女儿Zhang Ailing建议她学习阅读，以消除孤独和悲伤，她学会了第一个汉字。)”可知，Jiang Shumei学习汉字是为了摆脱悲伤。故选D。 【5题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“The elderly woman bad her own way of learning. She composed lyrics for songs, and asked children to write them down, so that she could read each character as she sang the songs again and again. Whenever she came across characters she didn’t know on pamphlets, bus stops, or shop signs, she found someone to ask.(这位老妇人有自己的学习方法。她为歌曲创作歌词，并让孩子们把它们写下来，这样她就可以在一遍又一遍地唱歌时读懂每个字。每当她在小册子、公交车站或商店招牌上遇到她不认识的字时，她就会找个人去问。)”可知，第三段主要介绍了她是如何学习汉字的。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“It sounds unbelievable, and my brother used to laugh at my daydreams.(这听起来难以置信，我哥哥过去常常嘲笑我的白日梦。)”可知，她的哥哥觉得她很奇怪，故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的““I would like to be a writer, a painter and a calligrapher,” she says, adding that her dream now is to have her own art exhibition when she is 90. “If I could live as long as 130, would you still say that it is too late for me to start after 60?” she asks, jokingly.(“我想成为一名作家、画家和书法家，”她说，并补充说，她现在的梦想是在90岁时举办自己的艺术展。“如果我能活到130岁，你还会说我60岁以后再开始太晚吗？”她开玩笑地问道。)”可知，从她的话里我们可以明白“活到老，学到老”的道理。故选C。 C The Himalayan mountains are increasingly filled with mounting waste left by mountaineering activities over the years. There is no official data, but Nepal’s Department of Tourism estimates that on Qomolangma alone, there is nearly 140,000 tons of waste. Now some of that material is finding its way to local craftswomen, thanks to a new plan led by Shilshila Acharya. Acharya owns Avni Center for-Sustainability, a waste processing business in Kathmandu. She has been working with the cleaning activity since 2019, targeting mountains such as Qomolangma, Makalu, Dhaulagiri, Ama Dablam and Annapurna. “Metals go through the recycling process, but we were not able to find a way to recycle these ropes and small cooking gas cans,” she says: It occurred to her that the non-recyclable waste could be reused, but it wasn’t until she met Maya Rai at an event that a solution was born. Rai, helped connect Acharya with Sunita Chaudhary and her team of Tharu craftswomen in the hope of turning the mountain’ waste into economic opportunity. “People like me, who are far from the mountains but belong to the local Tharu community, are using our traditional skills to change this waste into something entirely new,” Chaudhary says. Finished crafts are sold at craft exhibitions. The craftswomen are paid according to how many items they make and sell, earning an average of 400 Nepali Rupees per half-day’s work. With flexible hours, the project gives women an opportunity to earn money even as they keep their household responsibilities. 8. What is the issue of the Himalayan mountains according to paragraph 1? A. Lack of funds for environment. B. No true data about waste. C. Mountaineering activities. D. Tons of mounting waste. 9. What made Acharya come up with the idea of reusing non-recyclable waste? A. Meeting Rai at an event. B. Th recycling process. C. A cleaning activity in 2019 D. A visit to Chaudhary’s house. 10. How do the Tharu craftswomen profit from the project? A. They sell crafts at exhibitions. B. They receive fixed pay. C. They learn new skills. D. They explore the Himalayan mountains. 11. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Promoting Tourism in Kathmandu B. Crafting Economic Opportunities from Mountain Waste C. Exploring Traditional Skills of Local Craftswomen D. Mountaineering Adventures in the Himalayas 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章讲述了尼泊尔企业家Shilshila Acharya如何将喜马拉雅山区的登山废弃物转化成手工艺品，通过与当地Tharu族女性匠人合作，既解决了环境问题，又为她们创造了经济机会。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第一段中“The Himalayan mountains are increasingly filled with mounting waste left by mountaineering activities over the years. There is no official data, but Nepal’s Department of Tourism estimates that on Qomolangma alone, there is nearly 140,000 tons of waste.(多年来，登山活动留下的垃圾越来越多，喜马拉雅山脉越来越多。虽然没有官方数据，但尼泊尔旅游部估计，仅在珠峰上就有近14万吨垃圾。)”可知，喜马拉雅山脉面临的主要问题是堆积如山的废物。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段中“It occurred to her that the non-recyclable waste could be reused, but it wasn’t until she met Maya Rai at an event that a solution was born. Rai, helped connect Acharya with Sunita Chaudhary and her team of Tharu craftswomen in the hope of turning the mountain’ waste into economic opportunity.(她突然想到，这些不可回收的垃圾可以再利用，但直到她在一次活动中遇到玛雅·莱(Maya Rai)，一个解决方案才诞生。Rai帮助Acharya与Sunita Chaudhary和她的Tharu女工匠团队建立了联系，希望将山上的垃圾转化为经济机会。)”可知，与Rai在一次活动中的相遇启发了Acharya提出再利用不可回收废物的想法。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。由文章最后一段中“Finished crafts are sold at craft exhibitions. The craftswomen are paid according to how many items they make and sell, earning an average of 400 Nepali Rupees per half-day’s work. With flexible hours, the project gives women an opportunity to earn money even as they keep their household responsibilities.(成品工艺品在工艺品展览会上出售。这些女工匠的工资是根据她们制作和销售的物品数量来计算的，平均每半天的工资是400尼泊尔卢比。由于工作时间灵活，该项目让女性在承担家庭责任的同时也有机会赚钱。)”可知，Tharu女工匠通过在展览会上出售工艺品来获利。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。结合文章倒数第二段““People like me, who are far from the mountains but belong to the local Tharu community, are using our traditional skills to change this waste into something entirely new,” Chaudhary says.(Chaudhary:“像我这样远离山区但属于当地塔鲁社区的人，正在用我们的传统技能把这些废物变成全新的东西。”)”，并通读全文可知文章主要讲述了将喜马拉雅山区的废弃物转化为经济机会，为当地手工艺女性创造收入的故事。因此，“Crafting Economic Opportunities from Mountain Waste(从山地废料中创造经济机会)”是最合适的标题。故选B。 D Training the Brain People who can accomplish unbelievable tasks, such as memorizing thousands of random numbers in under an hour, state that they just have normal brains. Some memory superstars compete in Olympic-like World Memory Championships. These mental athletes, or MAs for short, can memorize names of dozens of strangers in a few minutes or any poem handed them. Ed Cooke, a 24-year-old MA, explains they see themselves as participants rescuing the long-lost art of memory training. These techniques existed not to recall useless information, but to cut into the brain basic text and ideas. A study in the journal Nature examined eight people who finished near the top of the World Memory Championships. The scientists examined whether their brains were fundamentally different from everyone else’s or whether they were simply making better use of memorizing abilities we all possess. They put the MAs and control subjects into brain scanners and had them memorize numbers and photographs. The result surprised everyone. The brains of the MAs and those of the control subjects were indistinguishable. On every test, the MAs scored in the normal range. However, when the scientists examined what part of the brain was used during a memory activity, they found the MAs relied more heavily on areas in the brain involved in spatial memory. MAs offer an explanation: anything can be fixed upon our memories and kept in order by constructing a building in the imagination and filling it with pictures of what needs to be recalled. Dating back to the fifth century, the building is called a memory palace. Even as late as the fourteenth century, when there were copies of any text, scholars needed to remember what was read to them. Reading to remember requires a different technique than speed reading. If something is made memorable, it has to be repeated. Until relatively recently, people read only a few books intensively (细致地) again and again, usually aloud. Today we read extensively, usually only once and without continuous focus. So the great difference is the ability to create impressive pictures in mind and to do it quickly. Using memory palaces, MAs create memorized pictures. For example, recombine the pictures to form unforgettable scenes such as the ways through a town. One competitor used his own body parts to help him memorize a 57,000-word dictionary. Anyone who wishes to train the mind needs first to create fantastical palaces in the imagination. Then they should cut each building into cubbyholes for memories. In a short amount of time, they will notice improvement with remembering things. To keep the skill sharp, MAs deliberately empty their palaces after competitions, so they can reuse them and they recommend that beginners do the same. 12. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that a mental athlete ________. A. owns a brain that is larger in size B. shows a gift in mental ability tests C. uses the memorizing technique better D. depends less on the areas that control spatial memory 13. Why does the author mention “speed reading” in Paragraph 3? A. To discuss the memorizing technique in the fifth century. B. To give the reason why people read only a few books carefully. C. To explain the text fourteenth century scholars had to remember. D. To compare the type of reading nowadays with that of earlier times. 14. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4? A. There is a variety of unforgettable scenes. B. Memory palaces can be quickly forgotten. C. Impressive pictures are in actual buildings. D. One person probably has 57,000 body parts. 15. What does the underlined word “cubbyholes” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Small spaces. B. Blacks holes. C Technical skills. D. Different numbers. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. A 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文，记忆达人与普通人的头脑是不是存在着差别？文章对此进行了研究，发现这些记忆达人在记忆的时候会使用空间记忆等不同的记忆构建方法。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句However, when the scientists examined what part of the brain was used during a memory activity, they found the MAs relied more heavily on areas in the brain involved in spatial memory.可知，平时这些记忆达人与正常人是一样的，但当他参加记忆比赛的时候，他们会使用大脑中与空间记忆相关的部分。说明他们可以更好地运用这些记忆技巧。故选C项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段后三句Even as late as the fourteenth century, when there were copies of any text, scholars needed to remember what was read to them…If something is made memorable, it has to be repeated. Until relatively recently, people read only a few books intensively (细致地) again and again, usually aloud. Today we read extensively, usually only once and without continuous focus.可知，作者使用speed reading指现代人的阅读类型与以前有了很大的变化，之前人们通常反复阅读一本书，而现在通常只读一次。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段第三句For example, recombine the pictures to form unforgettable scenes such as the ways through a town.可知，我们可以把多张图片相结合形成一些令人难忘的场景。如果我们要想记住更多的事情，就要在我们的脑海里形成更多这样的场景。也就是说会有各种各样的场景，故选A项。 【15题详解】 猜测词义题。根据横线前面一句Anyone who wishes to train the mind needs first to create fantastical palaces in the imagination.可知，我们首先要在脑海里创造出幻想出的宫殿，然后再把这些宫殿分隔成不同的记忆空间来存储不同的记忆内容。所以本句中的“cubbyholes”是指被分隔出来的小空间。故选A项。 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When you have negative (消极的) emotions and physical symptoms (症状) like stress and anxiety over a long period of time, to the point that it affects your everyday life, you may be experiencing sadness. ____16____, like losing a job or having to plan a big event.

As we all know, cycling is a fun, healthy and economical means of travel around the neighborhood. Parking a bike takes up less space. Besides, with more people taking to bicycles, the traffic problem in big cities will greatly be eased. Although there are so many advantages, it also has its own limitations. It is unsuitable for a long journey. As most shared bikes don’t have a roof in case of rain, it is inconvenient and unsafe to ride bicycles in the heavy rain. What is worse, some people with bad manners park the bicycle everywhere at their will, which leads to the disorder of the city. Anyway, the shared bike is now a popular means of transport in China. In my opinion, such a change will contribute to a healthy and responsible lifestyle. 【解析】 【分析】本篇书面表达属于应用文，要求考生就英语课上共享单车的利弊讨论情况用英语做一份口头报告。 【详解】1.词汇积累 众所周知：As we all know →As is known to us all 此外：Besides →Moreover 导致：lead to →result in 依某人看来：in one’s opinion = as far as sb. be concerned 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：Besides, with more people taking to bicycles, the traffic problem in big cities will greatly be eased. 拓展句：Besides, as more people ride bicycles, the traffic problem in big cities will greatly be eased. 【点睛】[高分句型1] As we all know, cycling is a fun, healthy and economical means of travel around the neighborhood.

Whether they were walking to school, doing homework or just hanging out at the weekend, they were hardly out of each other’s sight. But several weeks ago, Terry started to stay away from Mo, which confused Mo. This day, they had a physics exam, so Mo was waiting outside her class. She hated physics, because it was her worst subject. Terry looked back at her from the front, then looked away quickly. Mo thought she looked guilty. Terry didn’t have a problem with physics. “Hi, Mo. What’s wrong with Terry? I thought you were friends,” said one of her classmates, as Mo arrived. “Yes, so did I,” said Mo, “but she hasn’t spoken to me for two weeks. She promised to help me revise for the physics exam, but then she ignored all my calls and texts. And when I rang her house, her mum told me she was busy. She doesn’t remember who her friends are!” said Mo angrily. The other students were going into the exam room. The exam started. Mo couldn’t answer question number five. She looked up and saw Terry sitting in the next row. Mo was surprised. Terry was holding her phone under the table and she was reading from it. Is that how Terry always got good grades? She felt really angry at Terry but didn’t know what to do. It wasn’t fair! Mo never cheated and she failed lots of exams. Terry had already put her phone away when Mo looked up again. She looked back at Mo and smiled sadly. Actually, Terry’s family were having a terrible time: her father was in the hospital because of a heart attack. Her father had a big operation today, and Terry was very worried. She couldn’t wait to check her mother’s message on the phone. But Mo knew nothing about it. The bell rang. “Stop writing and put your pens down,” said Mr. Reed, a caring and easygoing teacher who was popular among students. Oh no, Mo hadn’t answered two of the questions. She was going to fail again! After the test, Mo wanted to talk to Terry, but she couldn’t find her. She was angry with Terry but she didn’t know what to do about Terry. Then, Mo decided to go to the office. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150字左右； 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 “Mr. Reed, I have something to tell you.” Mo whispered. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Knowing the truth, Mo felt guilty. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 “Mr. Reed, I have something to tell you.” Mo whispered. Mr. Reed looked up from the papers. Mo said with anger, “I think Terry might be cheating on the exam. I saw her looking at her phone under the table. I’m sure she was reading answers from it.” Mr. Reed’s eyebrows furrowed in concern. He couldn’t bear anyone cheating, especially the student who he thought was an excellent one. So he let Terry in right away. “Did you use your phone in the exam?” He asked. Taking a glance at Mo, Terry understood what happened, and she took her phone out of the pocket and opened it. To their surprise, Terry cried and explained she was so worried about her father that she couldn’t wait to check the message. Knowing the truth, Mo felt guilty. She realized that she had jumped to conclusions and hadn’t even tried to understand why Terry had been avoiding her. She realized that true friendship meant supporting each other through tough times, not just sharing happy moments. She decided to apologize to Terry and offer her support. After school, Mo found Terry alone and explained that she had misunderstood. Terry was relieved and grateful for Mo’s understanding. Their friendship was restored, and they learned an important lesson about the value of communication and compassion. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达是读后续写，文章以人物为线索展开，Mo和Terry是好朋友，但最近Terry一直躲着Mo，这让Mo很困惑。在物理考试中，Mo发现Terry偷偷查看手机，以为Terry一直是靠着作弊取得好成绩的，而自己却好多次不及格，她觉得不公平。Mo向老师告发了Terry，但令人惊讶的是，Terry并没有作弊，而是因为父亲生病住院，在考试中忍不住悄悄查看消息。知道了真相后，Mo非常后悔自己误会了Terry，向Terry道歉。她们的关系又恢复如初了。 【详解】1. 续写线索： ①由续写第一段首句“‘Reed先生，我有话要告诉你。’Mo轻声说。”可知，第一段可以描写Mo向老师告发Terry在考试中看手机的行为，但没想到Terry只是为了查看关于父亲的信息。 ②由续写第二段首句“知道真相后，Mo感到愧疚。”可知，第二段可以描写Mo为自己误会了Terry而感到愧疚，向Terry道歉，二人关系和好如初。 2. 段落续写：Mo向老师告发Terry作弊——老师叫Terry进来——Terry解释看手机的原因——Mo知道真相后感到愧疚——Mo向Terry道歉——二人关系和好 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①容忍：bear/stand/tolerate ②瞥：take a glance at/glance at/glimpse/have a glimpse at ③向……道歉：apologize to/make an apology to 情绪类 ①生气地：with anger/angrily ②惊讶：surprise/amazement ③担心的：worried/concerned ④感激的：grateful/thankful 【点睛】【高分句型1】Taking a glance at Mo, Terry understood what happened, and she took her phone out of the pocket and opened it. (使用了现在分词作状语以及what引导宾语从句) 【高分句型2】She realized that she had jumped to conclusions and hadn’t even tried to understand why Terry had been avoiding her.

B Jiang Shumei learned her first Chinese character at the age of 60. Now, the 87-year-old grandmother is the proud author of six books. She learned her first character in 1996, after her husband died in a devastating car accident, when her daughter Zhang Ailing suggested that she learn to read to take her mind off the loneliness and sadness. The elderly woman bad her own way of learning. She composed lyrics for songs, and asked children to write them down, so that she could read each character as she sang the songs again and again. Whenever she came across characters she didn’t know on pamphlets, bus stops, or shop signs, she found someone to ask. “It sounds unbelievable, and my brother used to laugh at my daydreams.” the grandmother says. She first put pen to paper in 2012, at the age of 75. It was not easy. Sometimes, completing a single sentence could take a day. As a college teacher and a writer herself, Zhang gave her mother a lot of encouragement and help. The first book, Time of Trouble, Time of Poverty, was published later that year, and proved to be a success. Some critics even hailed it as the “lived history of a nation plagued by war, death and hunger”. So far, the elderly woman has published six books, totaling more than 600,000 characters in length. In her spare time, she is also learning painting and calligraphy. “I would like to be a writer, a painter and a calligrapher,” she says, adding that her dream now is to have her own art exhibition when she is 90. “If I could live as long as 130, would you still say that it is too late for me to start after 60?” she asks, jokingly. 4. Why did Jiang Shumei start to learn Chinese characters? A. To challenge herself B. Her daughter’s car accident. C. Her husband’s suggestion D. To get rid of sorrow. 5. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. How she learned characters. B. How she met new characters. C. How she composed songs. D. How she learnt to sing the songs. 6. What did Jiang Shumei’s brother think of her? A. She’s determined. B. She’s odd. C. She’s severe. D. She’s admirable. 7. What can we learn from Jiang Shumei’s words in the last paragraph? A. Facts speak louder than words. B. Where there’s life, there’s hope. C. It’s never too late to learn. D. No pains, no gains. C The Himalayan mountains are increasingly filled with mounting waste left by mountaineering activities over the years. There is no official data, but Nepal’s Department of Tourism estimates that on Qomolangma alone, there is nearly 140,000 tons of waste. Now some of that material is finding its way to local craftswomen, thanks to a new plan led by Shilshila Acharya. Acharya owns Avni Center for-Sustainability, a waste processing business in Kathmandu. She has been working with the cleaning activity since 2019, targeting mountains such as Qomolangma, Makalu, Dhaulagiri, Ama Dablam and Annapurna. “Metals go through the recycling process, but we were not able to find a way to recycle these ropes and small cooking gas cans,” she says: It occurred to her that the non-recyclable waste could be reused, but it wasn’t until she met Maya Rai at an event that a solution was born. Rai, helped connect Acharya with Sunita Chaudhary and her team of Tharu craftswomen in the hope of turning the mountain’ waste into economic opportunity. “People like me, who are far from the mountains but belong to the local Tharu community, are using our traditional skills to change this waste into something entirely new,” Chaudhary says. Finished crafts are sold at craft exhibitions. The craftswomen are paid according to how many items they make and sell, earning an average of 400 Nepali Rupees per half-day’s work. With flexible hours, the project gives women an opportunity to earn money even as they keep their household responsibilities. 8. What is the issue of the Himalayan mountains according to paragraph 1? A. Lack of funds for environment. B. No true data about waste. C. Mountaineering activities. D. Tons of mounting waste. 9. What made Acharya come up with the idea of reusing non-recyclable waste? A. Meeting Rai at an event. B. Th recycling process. C. A cleaning activity in 2019 D. A visit to Chaudhary’s house. 10. How do the Tharu craftswomen profit from the project? A. They sell crafts at exhibitions. B. They receive fixed pay. C. They learn new skills. D. They explore the Himalayan mountains. 11. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Promoting Tourism in Kathmandu B. Crafting Economic Opportunities from Mountain Waste C. Exploring Traditional Skills of Local Craftswomen D. Mountaineering Adventures in the Himalayas D Training the Brain People who can accomplish unbelievable tasks, such as memorizing thousands of random numbers in under an hour, state that they just have normal brains. Some memory superstars compete in Olympic-like World Memory Championships. These mental athletes, or MAs for short, can memorize names of dozens of strangers in a few minutes or any poem handed them. Ed Cooke, a 24-year-old MA, explains they see themselves as participants rescuing the long-lost art of memory training. These techniques existed not to recall useless information, but to cut into the brain basic text and ideas. A study in the journal Nature examined eight people who finished near the top of the World Memory Championships. The scientists examined whether their brains were fundamentally different from everyone else’s or whether they were simply making better use of memorizing abilities we all possess. They put the MAs and control subjects into brain scanners and had them memorize numbers and photographs. The result surprised everyone. The brains of the MAs and those of the control subjects were indistinguishable. On every test, the MAs scored in the normal range. However, when the scientists examined what part of the brain was used during a memory activity, they found the MAs relied more heavily on areas in the brain involved in spatial memory. MAs offer an explanation: anything can be fixed upon our memories and kept in order by constructing a building in the imagination and filling it with pictures of what needs to be recalled. Dating back to the fifth century, the building is called a memory palace. Even as late as the fourteenth century, when there were copies of any text, scholars needed to remember what was read to them. Reading to remember requires a different technique than speed reading. If something is made memorable, it has to be repeated. Until relatively recently, people read only a few books intensively (细致地) again and again, usually aloud. Today we read extensively, usually only once and without continuous focus. So the great difference is the ability to create impressive pictures in mind and to do it quickly. Using memory palaces, MAs create memorized pictures. For example, recombine the pictures to form unforgettable scenes such as the ways through a town. One competitor used his own body parts to help him memorize a 57,000-word dictionary. Anyone who wishes to train the mind needs first to create fantastical palaces in the imagination. Then they should cut each building into cubbyholes for memories. In a short amount of time, they will notice improvement with remembering things. To keep the skill sharp, MAs deliberately empty their palaces after competitions, so they can reuse them and they recommend that beginners do the same. 12. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that a mental athlete ________. A. owns a brain that is larger in size B. shows a gift in mental ability tests C uses the memorizing technique better D. depends less on the areas that control spatial memory 13. Why does the author mention “speed reading” in Paragraph 3? A. To discuss the memorizing technique in the fifth century. B. To give the reason why people read only a few books carefully. C. To explain the text fourteenth century scholars had to remember. D. To compare the type of reading nowadays with that of earlier times. 14. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4? A. There is a variety of unforgettable scenes. B. Memory palaces can be quickly forgotten. C. Impressive pictures are in actual buildings. D. One person probably has 57,000 body parts. 15. What does the underlined word “cubbyholes” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Small spaces. B. Blacks holes. C. Technical skills. D. Different numbers. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When you have negative (消极的) emotions and physical symptoms (症状) like stress and anxiety over a long period of time, to the point that it affects your everyday life, you may be experiencing sadness. ____16____, like losing a job or having to plan a big event.

Whether they were walking to school, doing homework or just hanging out at the weekend, they were hardly out of each other’s sight. But several weeks ago, Terry started to stay away from Mo, which confused Mo. This day, they had a physics exam, so Mo was waiting outside her class. She hated physics, because it was her worst subject. Terry looked back at her from the front, then looked away quickly. Mo thought she looked guilty. Terry didn’t have a problem with physics. “Hi, Mo. What’s wrong with Terry? I thought you were friends,” said one of her classmates, as Mo arrived. “Yes, so did I,” said Mo, “but she hasn’t spoken to me for two weeks. She promised to help me revise for the physics exam, but then she ignored all my calls and texts. And when I rang her house, her mum told me she was busy. She doesn’t remember who her friends are!” said Mo angrily. The other students were going into the exam room. The exam started. Mo couldn’t answer question number five. She looked up and saw Terry sitting in the next row. Mo was surprised. Terry was holding her phone under the table and she was reading from it. Is that how Terry always got good grades? She felt really angry at Terry but didn’t know what to do. It wasn’t fair! Mo never cheated and she failed lots of exams. Terry had already put her phone away when Mo looked up again. She looked back at Mo and smiled sadly. Actually, Terry’s family were having a terrible time: her father was in the hospital because of a heart attack. Her father had a big operation today, and Terry was very worried. She couldn’t wait to check her mother’s message on the phone. But Mo knew nothing about it. The bell rang. “Stop writing and put your pens down,” said Mr. Reed, a caring and easygoing teacher who was popular among students. Oh no, Mo hadn’t answered two of the questions. She was going to fail again! After the test, Mo wanted to talk to Terry, but she couldn’t find her. She was angry with Terry but she didn’t know what to do about Terry. Then, Mo decided to go to the office. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150字左右； 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 “Mr. Reed, I have something to tell you.” Mo whispered. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Knowing the truth, Mo felt guilty. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
