I suggested that we should go to Shillong. But my sister insisted that we see Darjeeling. My father decided that we would go to both places with one month’s stay at each place. So, it was decided that we would be going first to Shillong and then to Darjeeling. We left the New Delhi Railway Station four days after the vacation began. It was a very long and tiring journey. The train reached Guwahati in the evening. The next day, early in the morning we drove to Shillong. We stayed there for nearly a month in the hotel. The climate was no doubt cool and pleasant, but there were very few places of interest. We left Shillong on June 4th. On our way to Darjeeling, we traveled by train. We saw thick forests and beautiful tea gardens. We reached Darjeeling at about noon. We took a taxi and went to a hotel where reservations had been earlier arranged by my father. One day we went to the Tiger Hills by taxi at 4 a.m. to enjoy the famous sunrise. It was a wonderful sight which we had never seen before. And that was the last day of our vacation. 听第9段材料，回答第13至17题。 14．Who usually reads the morning announcements? A．Timmy. B．Mr. McKinney. C．Principal Johnson. 15．When is the last day of school?

Our usual reader, Timmy, is out sick today, so I’m reading in his place. I hope you’ve all had a great start to the week. This Monday has started out warm and sunny, so let’s hope it stays that way. I know we’ve had some strange weather in the last few weeks, we have just one month of school left before summer break, so make sure you’ve turned in all of your homework. The last day to turn in an assignment is Friday, May twentieth. The last boys baseball game will be held at six PM this Wednesday. Please show up to support the team.

There is a big stress on grammar and vocabulary. I have to remember a lot of words and grammar rules. M: How about listening? W: We only do the audio listening test, so it’s always the same pronunciation. M: So you don’t have a lot of variety of accents, do you? W: Yes, so I’m practicing listening on ELLO, which is short for English Listening Lesson Library Online. There are over 3, 000 free listening lessons for all levels! M: Great. What is your best subject? W: It’s math. I love all the math stuff, including physics. M: I’m learning economics, because just before my senior year of high school, my sister had taken an economics course and she said it was interesting. That was definitely a contributing factor to my decision, since we have always shared common interests. However, there’s a lot of math. I’m not strong at math and physics. 第二部分　阅读理解(共两节，满分50分) 第一节　(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) A Social media platforms are filled with individuals proudly sharing their rapid mastering of a language. Where does the secret lie? The truth lies in our addiction to instant satisfaction promised by some language apps. However, besides these apps, here are some ways to help you learn a new language: 1. Be a child, watch cartoons One of the most common advice for language learners is to watch children’s cartoons, which can be found on YOUKU. These cartoons are often made up of basic phrases and words that one would learn at beginner’s level. 2. Turn the volume (音量) up If watching cartoons is not your cup of tea, fear not, for there is the alternative of listening to podcasts (播客) and songs. Not only can you pick up phrases and idioms, but you can also develop your appreciation for the culture. 3. Let the words flow Talking to wait staff at native restaurants can help with your language skills. To avoid the risk of making mistake in public you can start by speaking to your pets. Tell them about your day. As you grow more confident, work up to a native speaker. 4. Aforeign stamp A commonly overlooked method is to keep a pen pal. Through the exchange of letters, you not only get to practise your writing skills but can also get a friend. Over all, continuous practice is key to unlocking the door of mastery. No matter which approach you choose, it’s important to revisit the language you are learning every day, even if it’s just for 15 minutes. 1．Why do language learning apps appeal to us? A．Because of their easy access. B．Because of their language platforms. C．Because of their proud claims. D．Because of their immediate pleasure. 2．To learn about vocabulary and culture, which way would you choose? A．Be a child, watch cartoons. B．Turn the volume up. C．Let the words flow. D．A foreign stamp. 3．What is the key to mastering a new language? A．Daily practice. B．More confidence. C．Occasional visits. D．Regular sharing. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些有助于学习新语言的方法，包括看儿童卡通片、听播客和歌曲、与他人交流以及交笔友等，同时强调了持续练习对于掌握语言的重要性。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“Social media platforms are filled with individuals proudly sharing their rapid mastering of a language. Where does the secret lie? The truth lies in our addiction to instant satisfaction promised by some language apps(社交媒体平台上满是自豪地分享自己快速掌握一门语言的人。秘诀在哪里？真相在于我们对一些语言应用程序所承诺的即时满足感的沉迷)”可知，语言学习应用程序吸引我们是因为它们提供的即时满足感。故选D项。 2．细节理解题。根据“Turn the volume (音量) up”部分“Not only can you pick up phrases and idioms, but you can also develop your appreciation for the culture(你不仅可以学到短语和习语，还可以培养对文化的欣赏)”可知，要学习词汇和文化，可以选择“Turn the volume up”这种方式。故选B项。 3．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Over all, continuous practice is key to unlocking the door of mastery.(总的来说，持续练习是掌握语言的关键)”可知，掌握一门新语言的关键是日常练习。故选A项。 B Before arriving in China, I had read various books relating to China, and my fascination were increasing. Therefore, when I arrived, I couldn’t have been more excited to be living in this huge historically and culturally rich country. The food, the landmarks, the big cities and everyday life — I couldn’t wait to explore. Yet despite my passion, learning Chinese hadn’t even entered my mind. This wasn’t laziness, but rather fear at the thought of trying to learn what is regarded as the most difficult language in the world. Besides this, I was living in Shanghai, an international city, with many people speaking English as a second language — I decided English would be enough. However, after a year in China I began to observe that while many foreigners did not speak Chinese, there were plenty who did. Perhaps it was achievable after all? In addition, I felt uncomfortable with how many Chinese people could speak English and yet I couldn’t even speak the most basic Chinese. With these factors in mind and a thirst for a new challenge, I decided to begin my language journey and my only regret is that I didn’t start earlier. Learning to speak Chinese isn’t as insurmountable as I once thought. When I speak to native Chinese speakers in Chinese, they almost always understand me, I have also not found it too difficult to remember characters and I am now even able to write over 400 characters. The thing I find most challenging is listening since native speakers talk at such a speed. I can’t always understand what’s been said. My biggest takeaway from learning Chinese is that it’s not only achievable but can also be enjoyable. Learning Chinese not only helped me in day-to-day life, but deepened my cultural understanding of such a fascinating country. So, to all my non-Chinese friends I say this, take up the challenge and take the leap of faith. 4．Why didn’t the author learn Chinese when he arrived in China in 2017? A．He showed no passion for China. B．He was unwilling to make the effort. C．He avoided learning a second language. D．He avoided doing something difficult. 5．What caused the author to learn Chinese? A．His regret about starting learning late. B．Support from many friends around him. C．Eagerness to take up the challenge. D．A thirst to prove his gift for language. 6．What does the underlined word “insurmountable” in the 5th paragraph mean? A．Valueless. B．Difficult. C．Unnecessary. D．Unacceptable. 7．What can we learn from the author’s experience? A．Love breaks down difficulties. B．Hard work pays off. C．Hard work is the key to success. D．Bravery opens up a new world. 【答案】4．D 5．C 6．B 7．D 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者一开始到中国时因为惧怕困难而不想学习中文，但是在中国一年后作者决定接受这个挑战，在认真学习后，作者发现学习中文不仅对其日常生活有帮助，而且加深了自己对这个迷人国家的文化理解。 4．细节理解题。根据第三段前两句“Yet despite my passion, learning Chinese hadn’t even entered my mind. This wasn’t laziness, but rather fear at the thought of trying to learn what is regarded as the most difficult language in the world.(尽管我对中文充满热情，但我从未想过要学习中文。这并不是懒惰，而是一想到要学习被认为是世界上最难的语言就害怕。)”可知，作者2017年到中国时不学中文是因为他逃避做困难的事情。故选D。 5．细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“With these factors in mind and a thirst for a new challenge, I decided to begin my language journey and my only regret is that I didn’t start earlier.(考虑到这些因素和对新挑战的渴望，我决定开始我的语言之旅，我唯一的遗憾是我没有早点开始。)”可知，对新挑战的渴望促使作者开始学习中文。故选C。 6．词句猜测题。根据第五段第一句中的“as I once thought(像我原本以为的)”和第三段前两句“Yet despite my passion, learning Chinese hadn’t even entered my mind. This wasn’t laziness, but rather fear at the thought of trying to learn what is regarded as the most difficult language in the world.(尽管我对中文充满热情，但我从未想过要学习中文。这并不是懒惰，而是一想到要学习被认为是世界上最难的语言就害怕。)”可知，此处是指学习中文并不像“我”原本以为的那样难，所以insurmountable意为“困难的”。故选B。 7．推理判断题。根据最后一段最后两句“Learning Chinese not only helped me in day-to-day life, but deepened my cultural understanding of such a fascinating country. So, to all my non-Chinese friends I say this, take up the challenge and take the leap of faith.(学习中文不仅对我的日常生活有帮助，而且加深了我对这个迷人国家的文化理解。所以，我要对我所有的非中国朋友说，接受挑战，大胆地迈出信念的一步。)”可知，从作者的经历中可以了解到勇敢接受挑战会打开新世界的大门。故选D。 C These students wandering through the woods on the outskirts (郊区) of Portland, Oregon, aren’t on a school field trip — this muddy field is their school. From the moment they’re dropped off in the morning, they spend their entire day outside in one of Oregon’s public parks. “Rain or shine, we’re out here,” said teacher Christine Fleener. On this surprisingly nice day, Fleener’s class of fifth graders headed to the grassland for a biology lesson. Further down the trail, a group of fourth graders is learning on logs. It’s school, just not the type of school you might be used to. “Forest school is where the classroom does not have walls,” said Tony Deis, one of the founders of Trackers Earth Forest School. “It’s how kids originally learned; they didn’t learn sitting at desks, facing forward, and looking at a teacher. They learned from a multi-sensory environment.” Over the past decade, outdoor forest schools have gained popularity in the United States. The idea is that the challenges that come with being outside all day — dealing with weather, building your own shelter, and unearthing the unexpected are all part of the learning process. It’s complicated, of course. Outdoor schooling involves a puzzle of weather and regulations and budget issues. A well-funded private school in Portland, Oregon is one thing, but what about a public school in Portland, Maine? Surprisingly, cold Maine, of all places, has been quick to adopt outdoor learning. The district isn’t all out side all the time, but certain classes, like art, have moved outdoors. Supplies came from federal (联邦的) funds and local donations. And while Maine has plenty of open space, Brooke Teller, the outdoor learning coordinator (协调人) for Portland Public Schools, believes schools in major cities could have green classrooms hiding underneath their pavement (路面). She said, “We have a few hundred landscape architects all across the country who have volunteered to be a thought partner with schools that want to figure out where on their grounds would be best for outdoor learning.” 8．What does the author describe at the beginning of the text? A．The routine of a forest school. B．The popularity of public parks. C．An interesting school field trip. D．An unforgettable biology lesson. 9．What is the main philosophy behind the concept of forest schools? A．Kids learn by outdoor practice. B．Kids learn out of curiosity. C．Kids learn by challenging others. D．Kids learn by interacting with others. 10．What does Teller suggest schools that want to start outdoor education do? A．Start from certain classes. B．Work with landscape architects. C．Make use of their open space. D．Build green classrooms underground. 11．What can be the best title for the text? A．A new way of learning B．Benefits of learning outdoors C．Outdoor forest schools D．Outdoor education in Oregon 【答案】8．A 9．A 10．B 11．C 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了美国的户外森林学校越来越受欢迎，解释了其教学理念以及存在的挑战。 8．细节理解题。根据第一段“These students wandering through the woods on the outskirts (郊区) of Portland, Oregon, aren’t on a school field trip — this muddy field is their school. From the moment they’re dropped off in the morning, they spend their entire day outside in one of Oregon’s public parks. “Rain or shine, we’re out here,” said teacher Christine Fleener.(这些学生在俄勒冈州波特兰市郊区的树林里闲逛，他们不是在学校实地考察——这片泥泞的田野就是他们的学校。从早上下车的那一刻起，他们就会在俄勒冈州的一个公园里度过一整天。“无论晴雨，我们都在这里，”克里斯汀·弗莱纳老师说)”可知，作者在文章的开头描述了森林学校的日常生活。故选A。 9．细节理解题。根据第二段“It’s how kids originally learned; they didn’t learn sitting at desks, facing forward, and looking at a teacher. They learned from a multi-sensory environment.(这是孩子们最初的学习方式；他们不是坐在课桌前，面朝前，看着老师学习。他们从多感官环境中学习)”可知，森林学校概念背后的主要理念是孩子们通过户外实践来学习。故选A。 10．细节理解题。根据最后一段“She said, “We have a few hundred landscape architects all across the country who have volunteered to be a thought partner with schools that want to figure out where on their grounds would be best for outdoor learning.”(她说，“我们在全国各地有几百名景观设计师，他们自愿成为学校的思想伙伴，帮助学校找到户外学习的最佳场地。”)”可知，泰勒建议那些想开展户外教育的学校与景观设计师合作。故选B。 11．主旨大意题。根据第三段“Over the past decade, outdoor forest schools have gained popularity in the United States. The idea is that the challenges that come with being outside all day — dealing with weather, building your own shelter, and unearthing the unexpected are all part of the learning process.(在过去的十年里，户外森林学校在美国越来越受欢迎。他们的想法是，整日在外的挑战——应对天气、建造自己的庇护所、发现意想不到的事情——都是学习过程的一部分)”结合文章主要说明了美国的户外森林学校越来越受欢迎，解释了其教学理念以及存在的挑战。可知，C选项“户外森林学校”最符合文章标题。故选C。 D When I mentioned to some friends that we all have accents, most of them proudly replied, “Well, I speak perfect English/Chinese/etc.” But this kind of answer misses the point. More often than not, what we mean when we say someone “has an accent” is that their accent is different from the local one, or that pronunciations are different from our own. But this definition of accents is limiting and could give rise to prejudice (偏见). Funnily enough, in terms of the language study, every person speaks with an accent. It is the regular differences in how we produce sounds that define our accents. Even if you don’t hear it yourself, you speak with some sort of accent. In this sense, it’s pointless to point out that someone “has an accent”. We all do! Every person speaks a dialect, too. In the field of language study, a dialect is a version of a language that is characterized by its variations of structure, phrases and words. For instance, “You got eat or not?” (meaning “Have you eaten?”) is an acceptable and understood question in Singapore Oral English. The fact that this expression would cause a standard American English speaker to take pause doesn’t mean that Singapore Oral English is “wrong” or “ungrammatical”. The sentence is well-formed and clearly communicative, according to native Singapore English speakers’ solid system of grammar. Why should it be wrong just because it’s different? We need to move beyond a narrow conception of accent s and dialects — for the benefit of everyone. Language differences like these provide insights into people’s cultural experiences and backgrounds. In a global age, the way one speaks is a distinct part of one’s identity. Most people would be happy to talk about the cultures behind their speech. We’d learn more about the world we live in and make friends along the way. 12．What does the author think of his/her friends’ response in paragraph 1? A．It misses the real meaning of accents. B．It reflects their language levels. C．It misses the point of communication. D．It reflects their self confidence. 13．Why does the author use the example of Singapore Oral English? A．To correct a grammatical mistake. B．To show the diversity of dialects. C．To show the use of dialects is reasonable. D．To bring in a traditional approach. 14．What does the author recommend us to do in the last paragraph? A．Learn to speak with your local dialect. B．Seek for an official definition of accents. C．Appreciate the value of accents and dialects. D．Tell our local languages from others’. 15．What can be a suitable title for this passage? A．Accents Represent Our Identities B．Everyone Has an Accent C．Dialects Lead to Misunderstanding D．Standard English Is at Risk 【答案】12．A 13．C 14．C 15．B 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要论述了每个人都有口音。从这个意义上说，指出某人“有口音”是毫无意义的。语言差异可以帮助人们洞察他人的文化经历和背景，因此我们要欣赏口音和方言的价值。 12．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“When I mentioned to some friends that we all have accents, most of them proudly replied, “Well, I speak perfect English/Chinese/etc.” But this kind of answer misses the point.(当我向一些朋友提到我们都有口音时，他们中的大多数人自豪地回答说：“嗯，我的英语/汉语/等等都说得很好。”但这种回答没有抓住要点。)”可知，作者认为他/她的朋友忽略了口音的真正含义。故选A。 13．推理判断题。根据第三段“The sentence is well-formed and clearly communicative, according to native Singapore English speakers’ solid system of grammar. Why should it be wrong just because it’s different?(根据新加坡英语母语者扎实的语法体系，句子结构良好，交际清晰。为什么仅仅因为不同就应该是错的呢？)”可知，作者认为不能因为它不同就认为它是错的。所以作者使用新加坡口语的例子是在说明方言的使用是合理的。故选C。 14．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Language differences like these provide insights into people’s cultural experiences and backgrounds. In a global age, the way one speaks is a distinct part of one’s identity. Most people would be happy to talk about the cultures behind their speech. We’d learn more about the world we live in and make friends along the way.(像这样的语言差异提供了对人们的文化经历和背景的见解。在全球化时代，一个人说话的方式是一个人身份的一个独特部分。大多数人都乐于谈论他们讲话背后的文化。我们会更多地了解我们生活的世界，并在此过程中结交朋友。)”可知，作者在最后一段中建议我们欣赏口音和方言的价值，这样我们可以更好了解我们的世界，交更多的朋友。故选C。 15．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段“Funnily enough, in terms of the language study, every person speaks with an accent. It is the regular differences in how we produce sounds that define our accents. Even if you don’t hear it yourself, you speak with some sort of accent. In this sense, it’s pointless to point out that someone “has an accent”. We all do!(有趣的是，就语言学习而言，每个人说话都带有口音。我们发音的规律差异决定了我们的口音。即使你自己没有听到，你说话也带有某种口音。从这个意义上说，指出某人“有口音”是没有意义的。我们都有！)”可知，本段主要讲的是每个人都有口音。从这个意义上说，指出某人“有口音”是毫无意义的，因此最恰当的题目是B选项“Everyone Has an Accent(每个人都有口音)”。故选B。 Ⅱ.阅读七选五(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) Americans use many expressions with the word “dog”. People in the United States love their dogs and treat them well. 16 However, dogs without owners to care for them lead a different kind of life. The expression, to lead a dog’s life, describes a person who has an unhappy existence. Some people say we live in a dog eat dog world. 17 They say that to be successful, a person has to work like a dog. This means they have to work very, very hard. Such hard work can make people dog tired. And, the situation would be even worse if they became sick as a dog. 18 This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life. To be successful, people often have to learn new skills. Yet, some people say that you can never teach an old dog new tricks. They believe that older people do not like to learn new things and will not change the way they do things. 19 People who are unkind or uncaring can be described as meaner than a junkyard dog. Junkyard dogs live in places where people throw away things they do not want. Mean dogs are often used to guard this property. They bark or attack people who try to enter the property. However, sometimes a person who appears to be mean and threatening is really not so bad. We say his bark is worse than his bite. Dog expressions are also used to describe the weather. The dog days of summer are the hottest days of the year. A rainstorm may cool the weather. But we do not want it to rain too hard. 20 A．Furthermore, people say every dog has its day. B．Some people are compared to dogs in bad ways. C．In other words, we do not want it to rain cats and dogs. D．There are many other expressions waiting for you to explore. E．Dogs are their best friends and they are loyal to people whatever happens. F．That means many people are competing for the same things, like good jobs. G．They take their dogs for walks, let them play outside and give them good food. 【答案】16．G 17．F 18．A 19．B 20．C 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些与dog有关的英语短语并解释了这些短语的意思以及使用语境。 16．上文“Americans use many expressions with the word “dog”. People in the United States love their dogs and treat them well.(美国人用很多词来形容“狗”。美国人爱他们的狗，对他们很好)”说明美国人爱狗并善待它们。空处进一步说明美国人如何善待狗。G项中的They指代前文中的“ Americans ”，说明“他们带着他们的狗散步，让它们在外面玩耍，给它们好吃的食物。”符合语境。故选G。 17．上文“Some people say we live in a dog eat dog world.(有人说我们生活在一个狗咬狗的世界里)”说明这是一种比喻，表示竞争激烈的社会状态。空处进一步解释这一说法，并引出下文。F项中的That指代前文中的“we live in a dog eat dog world”，“like good jobs”和下文中的“ to be successful, a person has to work like a dog”相呼应。说明“生活在一个狗咬狗的世界里”意味着很多人都在争夺同样的东西，比如好工作。故选F。 18．上文“Such hard work can make people dog tired. And, the situation would be even worse if they became sick as a dog.(如此艰苦的工作会使人疲惫不堪。而且，如果他们像狗一样生病，情况会更糟)”以及下文“This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life.(这意味着每个人在一生中都有一段成功的时期)”说明我们会遇到一些负面的情况，但是每个人在其一生中都会享受成功的时期。空处承上启下，和前文形成转折关系，并引出下文。A项中的“every dog has its day”和下文中的“every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life.”相呼应，说明A项“此外，人们说每只狗都有它的一天。”符合语境。故选A。 19．下文“People who are unkind or uncaring can be described as meaner than a junkyard dog. Junkyard dogs live in places where people throw away things they do not want. Mean dogs are often used to guard this property. They bark or attack people who try to enter the property.(不友善或漠不关心的人可以被描述为比垃圾场的狗更卑鄙。Junkyard狗生活在人们扔掉他们不想要的东西的地方。卑鄙的狗经常被用来保护这处地盘。他们吠叫或攻击试图进入该地盘的人)”说明用狗来形容人的不友好或不关心的一面。B项“有些人被拿来和狗作不好的比较。”适合作本段的主旨句，“in bad ways”和下文中的“unkind or uncaring”相呼应。故选B。 20．上文“Dog expressions are also used to describe the weather. The dog days of summer are the hottest days of the year. A rainstorm may cool the weather. But we do not want it to rain too hard. (狗的表情也用来形容天气。夏天的三伏天是一年中最热的日子。暴雨可能使天气凉爽。但是我们不希望雨下得太大)”说明本段谈论的是与狗相关的天气表达。C项中的“rain cats and dogs”和上文中的“rain too hard”相呼应，说明C项“换句话说，我们不希望下倾盆大雨。”符合语境。故选C。 第三部分　语言知识运用(共两节，满分30分) 一完形填空(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) I believe one person can be a change.

In his spare time, he would sit alone, absorbed in creating a poem, carefully designing its content and sound. More often than not, he would read poems with full emotion and a beautiful voice, which brought him spiritual pleasure. However, when he turned 13, he was going through puberty. Puberty is when kids start to become mature and experience many physical and emotional changes. Alan already hit his growth spurt (成长高峰期). He was very tall. Now, he was just waiting for his voice to deepen. Before the voice deepens, it will crack (破裂) and sound high-pitched (尖锐的). In Alan’s English class, his teacher would have students do “Popcorn Reading”. Popcorn Reading is when one student reads and then calls on another student to continue reading. Alan was eventually called on. He started to read the sentence. He noticed that his voice came out all high-pitched. It sounded like he had a sore throat. His classmates started laughing at him. “What happened to your voice?” they joked. Alan was so embarrassed. He sunk into his chair and put his jacket hood over his head. After class, the teacher went to Alan to talk to him. The teacher said Alan should not feel embarrassed. Voice cracking happens to everyone. Alan still felt pretty bad about it. For the next few days, word got around about Alan’s voice. People kept asking him to talk, but Alan wouldn’t. He just stayed quiet. Even when teachers called on him to read or asked him a question, he just wrote it down. Even for his love for poems, Allan just kept creating, but dared not to read them out. One afternoon, his teacher called him into his office, and said with a smile, “Alan, to celebrate the coming Thanksgiving Day, our school decides to organise an activity presenting shows with dancing and singing. All the students will join in it. Could you write a poem and read it on the event?” 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Hearing the teacher’s words, Alan froze on the spot. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: On the Thanksgiving Day, the skills worked and Alan gave a perfect performance. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Hearing the teacher’s words, Alan froze on the spot. With his palms sweating and heart racing, he told the teacher his concern about his voice. His teacher encouraged him, saying, “It’s not the voice but the poem’s content and the overall presentation that matter.” Those remarks were like sparks of enlightenment. His timidity and lack of confidence finally gave way to the desire to fulfill his long-held dream. Alan nodded and promised to his teacher he would seize the chance and go all out. For the next few weeks, he worked on the poem and surfed the Internet to find some skills to make his voice sound deeper. On the Thanksgiving Day, the skills worked and Alan gave a perfect performance. The audience were blown away by Alan’s presentation and burst out thunderous clapping. With a light-hearted feeling and a happy smile, Alan bowed slightly and walked off the stage. He headed to his teacher, hugged him and expressed his gratitude for his encouragement. Such an unforgettable experience turned Alan into a more confident man. He realised, “It’s important to know what you really want and put all your strength on it. Only when you follow your heart boldly, can you achieve your dreams.” 【导语】本文以“变声”为线索展开，讲述了一个热爱诗歌的男孩Alan，在青春期面临变声的困扰。他在课堂上的读书声引起了同学们的嘲笑，让他感到尴尬和自卑，甚至影响到了他对于诗歌的热爱。然而，他的老师鼓励他不要为此感到尴尬，因为每个人都会经历这个过程。最后，学校决定在感恩节举办一场表演活动，老师希望Alan能为这个活动写一首诗并在活动中朗读。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“听到老师的话，艾伦当场僵住了。”可知，第一段可描写Alan在老师的鼓励下，决定面对自己的变声问题，并为即将到来的感恩节表演活动努力准备。 ②由第二段首句内容“在感恩节那天，技巧发挥了作用，艾伦的表演非常完美。”可知，第二段可描写凭借Alan所学的技巧和努力，他的表演非常完美，向老师表达感谢，最后感悟升华。 2.续写线索：紧张——老师鼓励——积极准备——表演成功——感谢老师——感悟升华 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①重要：matter/count ②实现：fulfill/accomplish ③抓住：seize/grasp 情绪类 ①高兴的：happy/joyful ②感激：gratitude/appreciation 【点睛】【高分句型1】With his palms sweating and heart racing, he told the teacher his concern about his voice.

Where does the secret lie? The truth lies in our addiction to instant satisfaction promised by some language apps. However, besides these apps, here are some ways to help you learn a new language: 1. Be a child, watch cartoons One of the most common advice for language learners is to watch children’s cartoons, which can be found on YOUKU. These cartoons are often made up of basic phrases and words that one would learn at beginner’s level. 2. Turn the volume (音量) up If watching cartoons is not your cup of tea, fear not, for there is the alternative of listening to podcasts (播客) and songs. Not only can you pick up phrases and idioms, but you can also develop your appreciation for the culture. 3. Let the words flow Talking to wait staff at native restaurants can help with your language skills. To avoid the risk of making mistake in public you can start by speaking to your pets. Tell them about your day. As you grow more confident, work up to a native speaker. 4. Aforeign stamp A commonly overlooked method is to keep a pen pal. Through the exchange of letters, you not only get to practise your writing skills but can also get a friend. Over all, continuous practice is key to unlocking the door of mastery. No matter which approach you choose, it’s important to revisit the language you are learning every day, even if it’s just for 15 minutes. 1．Why do language learning apps appeal to us? A．Because of their easy access. B．Because of their language platforms. C．Because of their proud claims. D．Because of their immediate pleasure. 2．To learn about vocabulary and culture, which way would you choose? A．Be a child, watch cartoons. B．Turn the volume up. C．Let the words flow. D．A foreign stamp. 3．What is the key to mastering a new language? A．Daily practice. B．More confidence. C．Occasional visits. D．Regular sharing. B Before arriving in China, I had read various books relating to China, and my fascination were increasing. Therefore, when I arrived, I couldn’t have been more excited to be living in this huge historically and culturally rich country. The food, the landmarks, the big cities and everyday life — I couldn’t wait to explore. Yet despite my passion, learning Chinese hadn’t even entered my mind. This wasn’t laziness, but rather fear at the thought of trying to learn what is regarded as the most difficult language in the world. Besides this, I was living in Shanghai, an international city, with many people speaking English as a second language — I decided English would be enough. However, after a year in China I began to observe that while many foreigners did not speak Chinese, there were plenty who did. Perhaps it was achievable after all? In addition, I felt uncomfortable with how many Chinese people could speak English and yet I couldn’t even speak the most basic Chinese. With these factors in mind and a thirst for a new challenge, I decided to begin my language journey and my only regret is that I didn’t start earlier. Learning to speak Chinese isn’t as insurmountable as I once thought. When I speak to native Chinese speakers in Chinese, they almost always understand me, I have also not found it too difficult to remember characters and I am now even able to write over 400 characters. The thing I find most challenging is listening since native speakers talk at such a speed. I can’t always understand what’s been said. My biggest takeaway from learning Chinese is that it’s not only achievable but can also be enjoyable. Learning Chinese not only helped me in day-to-day life, but deepened my cultural understanding of such a fascinating country. So, to all my non-Chinese friends I say this, take up the challenge and take the leap of faith. 4．Why didn’t the author learn Chinese when he arrived in China in 2017? A．He showed no passion for China. B．He was unwilling to make the effort. C．He avoided learning a second language. D．He avoided doing something difficult. 5．What caused the author to learn Chinese? A．His regret about starting learning late. B．Support from many friends around him. C．Eagerness to take up the challenge. D．A thirst to prove his gift for language. 6．What does the underlined word “insurmountable” in the 5th paragraph mean? A．Valueless. B．Difficult. C．Unnecessary. D．Unacceptable. 7．What can we learn from the author’s experience? A．Love breaks down difficulties. B．Hard work pays off. C．Hard work is the key to success. D．Bravery opens up a new world. C These students wandering through the woods on the outskirts (郊区) of Portland, Oregon, aren’t on a school field trip — this muddy field is their school. From the moment they’re dropped off in the morning, they spend their entire day outside in one of Oregon’s public parks. “Rain or shine, we’re out here,” said teacher Christine Fleener. On this surprisingly nice day, Fleener’s class of fifth graders headed to the grassland for a biology lesson. Further down the trail, a group of fourth graders is learning on logs. It’s school, just not the type of school you might be used to. “Forest school is where the classroom does not have walls,” said Tony Deis, one of the founders of Trackers Earth Forest School. “It’s how kids originally learned; they didn’t learn sitting at desks, facing forward, and looking at a teacher. They learned from a multi-sensory environment.” Over the past decade, outdoor forest schools have gained popularity in the United States. The idea is that the challenges that come with being outside all day — dealing with weather, building your own shelter, and unearthing the unexpected are all part of the learning process. It’s complicated, of course. Outdoor schooling involves a puzzle of weather and regulations and budget issues. A well-funded private school in Portland, Oregon is one thing, but what about a public school in Portland, Maine? Surprisingly, cold Maine, of all places, has been quick to adopt outdoor learning. The district isn’t all out side all the time, but certain classes, like art, have moved outdoors. Supplies came from federal (联邦的) funds and local donations. And while Maine has plenty of open space, Brooke Teller, the outdoor learning coordinator (协调人) for Portland Public Schools, believes schools in major cities could have green classrooms hiding underneath their pavement (路面). She said, “We have a few hundred landscape architects all across the country who have volunteered to be a thought partner with schools that want to figure out where on their grounds would be best for outdoor learning.” 8．What does the author describe at the beginning of the text? A．The routine of a forest school. B．The popularity of public parks. C．An interesting school field trip. D．An unforgettable biology lesson. 9．What is the main philosophy behind the concept of forest schools? A．Kids learn by outdoor practice. B．Kids learn out of curiosity. C．Kids learn by challenging others. D．Kids learn by interacting with others. 10．What does Teller suggest schools that want to start outdoor education do? A．Start from certain classes. B．Work with landscape architects. C．Make use of their open space. D．Build green classrooms underground. 11．What can be the best title for the text? A．A new way of learning B．Benefits of learning outdoors C．Outdoor forest schools D．Outdoor education in Oregon D When I mentioned to some friends that we all have accents, most of them proudly replied, “Well, I speak perfect English/Chinese/etc.” But this kind of answer misses the point. More often than not, what we mean when we say someone “has an accent” is that their accent is different from the local one, or that pronunciations are different from our own. But this definition of accents is limiting and could give rise to prejudice (偏见). Funnily enough, in terms of the language study, every person speaks with an accent. It is the regular differences in how we produce sounds that define our accents. Even if you don’t hear it yourself, you speak with some sort of accent. In this sense, it’s pointless to point out that someone “has an accent”. We all do! Every person speaks a dialect, too. In the field of language study, a dialect is a version of a language that is characterized by its variations of structure, phrases and words. For instance, “You got eat or not?” (meaning “Have you eaten?”) is an acceptable and understood question in Singapore Oral English. The fact that this expression would cause a standard American English speaker to take pause doesn’t mean that Singapore Oral English is “wrong” or “ungrammatical”. The sentence is well-formed and clearly communicative, according to native Singapore English speakers’ solid system of grammar. Why should it be wrong just because it’s different? We need to move beyond a narrow conception of accent s and dialects — for the benefit of everyone. Language differences like these provide insights into people’s cultural experiences and backgrounds. In a global age, the way one speaks is a distinct part of one’s identity. Most people would be happy to talk about the cultures behind their speech. We’d learn more about the world we live in and make friends along the way. 12．What does the author think of his/her friends’ response in paragraph 1? A．It misses the real meaning of accents. B．It reflects their language levels. C．It misses the point of communication. D．It reflects their self confidence. 13．Why does the author use the example of Singapore Oral English? A．To correct a grammatical mistake. B．To show the diversity of dialects. C．To show the use of dialects is reasonable. D．To bring in a traditional approach. 14．What does the author recommend us to do in the last paragraph? A．Learn to speak with your local dialect. B．Seek for an official definition of accents. C．Appreciate the value of accents and dialects. D．Tell our local languages from others’. 15．What can be a suitable title for this passage? A．Accents Represent Our Identities B．Everyone Has an Accent C．Dialects Lead to Misunderstanding D．Standard English Is at Risk Ⅱ.阅读七选五(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) Americans use many expressions with the word “dog”. People in the United States love their dogs and treat them well. 16 However, dogs without owners to care for them lead a different kind of life. The expression, to lead a dog’s life, describes a person who has an unhappy existence. Some people say we live in a dog eat dog world. 17 They say that to be successful, a person has to work like a dog. This means they have to work very, very hard. Such hard work can make people dog tired. And, the situation would be even worse if they became sick as a dog. 18 This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life. To be successful, people often have to learn new skills. Yet, some people say that you can never teach an old dog new tricks. They believe that older people do not like to learn new things and will not change the way they do things. 19 People who are unkind or uncaring can be described as meaner than a junkyard dog. Junkyard dogs live in places where people throw away things they do not want. Mean dogs are often used to guard this property. They bark or attack people who try to enter the property. However, sometimes a person who appears to be mean and threatening is really not so bad. We say his bark is worse than his bite. Dog expressions are also used to describe the weather. The dog days of summer are the hottest days of the year. A rainstorm may cool the weather. But we do not want it to rain too hard. 20 A．Furthermore, people say every dog has its day. B．Some people are compared to dogs in bad ways. C．In other words, we do not want it to rain cats and dogs. D．There are many other expressions waiting for you to explore. E．Dogs are their best friends and they are loyal to people whatever happens. F．That means many people are competing for the same things, like good jobs. G．They take their dogs for walks, let them play outside and give them good food. 第三部分　语言知识运用(共两节，满分30分) 一完形填空(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) I believe one person can be a change.

A Northampton primary school believes it has the answer. To make the least active pupils take an interest in their fitness, a program 36 (introduce) at Lings Primary School recently. Not only have the pupils developed an interest in activities ranging from football 37 ballroom dancing, according to the school, but their school work has also improved 38 (significant). Students now have 39 best attendance record in the country at 98 percent. The change has been achieved by simply making PE fun. Instead of 40 (climb) wall bars and running on the spot, the pupils practice exercises such as moving like 41 (animal). One routine involves crawling around the floor like a bear and moving around like gorillas, and the children try to keep their balance on the boards 42 (make) of rubber, all of 43 help stretch their muscles and improve fitness.

In his spare time, he would sit alone, absorbed in creating a poem, carefully designing its content and sound. More often than not, he would read poems with full emotion and a beautiful voice, which brought him spiritual pleasure. However, when he turned 13, he was going through puberty. Puberty is when kids start to become mature and experience many physical and emotional changes. Alan already hit his growth spurt (成长高峰期). He was very tall. Now, he was just waiting for his voice to deepen. Before the voice deepens, it will crack (破裂) and sound high-pitched (尖锐的). In Alan’s English class, his teacher would have students do “Popcorn Reading”. Popcorn Reading is when one student reads and then calls on another student to continue reading. Alan was eventually called on. He started to read the sentence. He noticed that his voice came out all high-pitched. It sounded like he had a sore throat. His classmates started laughing at him. “What happened to your voice?” they joked. Alan was so embarrassed. He sunk into his chair and put his jacket hood over his head. After class, the teacher went to Alan to talk to him. The teacher said Alan should not feel embarrassed. Voice cracking happens to everyone. Alan still felt pretty bad about it. For the next few days, word got around about Alan’s voice. People kept asking him to talk, but Alan wouldn’t. He just stayed quiet. Even when teachers called on him to read or asked him a question, he just wrote it down. Even for his love for poems, Allan just kept creating, but dared not to read them out. One afternoon, his teacher called him into his office, and said with a smile, “Alan, to celebrate the coming Thanksgiving Day, our school decides to organise an activity presenting shows with dancing and singing. All the students will join in it. Could you write a poem and read it on the event?” 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Hearing the teacher’s words, Alan froze on the spot. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: On the Thanksgiving Day, the skills worked and Alan gave a perfect performance. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 参考答案 1．B 【原文】W: Here is your bill, sir, 86 dollars in all.

I suggested that we should go to Shillong. But my sister insisted that we see Darjeeling. My father decided that we would go to both places with one month’s stay at each place. So, it was decided that we would be going first to Shillong and then to Darjeeling. We left the New Delhi Railway Station four days after the vacation began. It was a very long and tiring journey. The train reached Guwahati in the evening. The next day, early in the morning we drove to Shillong. We stayed there for nearly a month in the hotel. The climate was no doubt cool and pleasant, but there were very few places of interest. We left Shillong on June 4th. On our way to Darjeeling, we traveled by train. We saw thick forests and beautiful tea gardens. We reached Darjeeling at about noon. We took a taxi and went to a hotel where reservations had been earlier arranged by my father. One day we went to the Tiger Hills by taxi at 4 a.m. to enjoy the famous sunrise. It was a wonderful sight which we had never seen before. And that was the last day of our vacation. 14．A 15．C 16．C 17．B 【原文】 M: Hello, this is principal Johnson with the morning announcements.

Where does the secret lie? The truth lies in our addiction to instant satisfaction promised by some language apps(社交媒体平台上满是自豪地分享自己快速掌握一门语言的人。秘诀在哪里？真相在于我们对一些语言应用程序所承诺的即时满足感的沉迷)”可知，语言学习应用程序吸引我们是因为它们提供的即时满足感。故选D项。 2．细节理解题。根据“Turn the volume (音量) up”部分“Not only can you pick up phrases and idioms, but you can also develop your appreciation for the culture(你不仅可以学到短语和习语，还可以培养对文化的欣赏)”可知，要学习词汇和文化，可以选择“Turn the volume up”这种方式。故选B项。 3．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Over all, continuous practice is key to unlocking the door of mastery.(总的来说，持续练习是掌握语言的关键)”可知，掌握一门新语言的关键是日常练习。故选A项。 4．D 5．C 6．B 7．D 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者一开始到中国时因为惧怕困难而不想学习中文，但是在中国一年后作者决定接受这个挑战，在认真学习后，作者发现学习中文不仅对其日常生活有帮助，而且加深了自己对这个迷人国家的文化理解。 4．细节理解题。根据第三段前两句“Yet despite my passion, learning Chinese hadn’t even entered my mind. This wasn’t laziness, but rather fear at the thought of trying to learn what is regarded as the most difficult language in the world.(尽管我对中文充满热情，但我从未想过要学习中文。这并不是懒惰，而是一想到要学习被认为是世界上最难的语言就害怕。)”可知，作者2017年到中国时不学中文是因为他逃避做困难的事情。故选D。 5．细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“With these factors in mind and a thirst for a new challenge, I decided to begin my language journey and my only regret is that I didn’t start earlier.(考虑到这些因素和对新挑战的渴望，我决定开始我的语言之旅，我唯一的遗憾是我没有早点开始。)”可知，对新挑战的渴望促使作者开始学习中文。故选C。 6．词句猜测题。根据第五段第一句中的“as I once thought(像我原本以为的)”和第三段前两句“Yet despite my passion, learning Chinese hadn’t even entered my mind. This wasn’t laziness, but rather fear at the thought of trying to learn what is regarded as the most difficult language in the world.(尽管我对中文充满热情，但我从未想过要学习中文。这并不是懒惰，而是一想到要学习被认为是世界上最难的语言就害怕。)”可知，此处是指学习中文并不像“我”原本以为的那样难，所以insurmountable意为“困难的”。故选B。 7．推理判断题。根据最后一段最后两句“Learning Chinese not only helped me in day-to-day life, but deepened my cultural understanding of such a fascinating country. So, to all my non-Chinese friends I say this, take up the challenge and take the leap of faith.(学习中文不仅对我的日常生活有帮助，而且加深了我对这个迷人国家的文化理解。所以，我要对我所有的非中国朋友说，接受挑战，大胆地迈出信念的一步。)”可知，从作者的经历中可以了解到勇敢接受挑战会打开新世界的大门。故选D。 8．A 9．A 10．B 11．C 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了美国的户外森林学校越来越受欢迎，解释了其教学理念以及存在的挑战。 8．细节理解题。根据第一段“These students wandering through the woods on the outskirts (郊区) of Portland, Oregon, aren’t on a school field trip — this muddy field is their school. From the moment they’re dropped off in the morning, they spend their entire day outside in one of Oregon’s public parks. “Rain or shine, we’re out here,” said teacher Christine Fleener.(这些学生在俄勒冈州波特兰市郊区的树林里闲逛，他们不是在学校实地考察——这片泥泞的田野就是他们的学校。从早上下车的那一刻起，他们就会在俄勒冈州的一个公园里度过一整天。“无论晴雨，我们都在这里，”克里斯汀·弗莱纳老师说)”可知，作者在文章的开头描述了森林学校的日常生活。故选A。 9．细节理解题。根据第二段“It’s how kids originally learned; they didn’t learn sitting at desks, facing forward, and looking at a teacher. They learned from a multi-sensory environment.(这是孩子们最初的学习方式；他们不是坐在课桌前，面朝前，看着老师学习。他们从多感官环境中学习)”可知，森林学校概念背后的主要理念是孩子们通过户外实践来学习。故选A。 10．细节理解题。根据最后一段“She said, “We have a few hundred landscape architects all across the country who have volunteered to be a thought partner with schools that want to figure out where on their grounds would be best for outdoor learning.”(她说，“我们在全国各地有几百名景观设计师，他们自愿成为学校的思想伙伴，帮助学校找到户外学习的最佳场地。”)”可知，泰勒建议那些想开展户外教育的学校与景观设计师合作。故选B。 11．主旨大意题。根据第三段“Over the past decade, outdoor forest schools have gained popularity in the United States. The idea is that the challenges that come with being outside all day — dealing with weather, building your own shelter, and unearthing the unexpected are all part of the learning process.(在过去的十年里，户外森林学校在美国越来越受欢迎。他们的想法是，整日在外的挑战——应对天气、建造自己的庇护所、发现意想不到的事情——都是学习过程的一部分)”结合文章主要说明了美国的户外森林学校越来越受欢迎，解释了其教学理念以及存在的挑战。可知，C选项“户外森林学校”最符合文章标题。故选C。 12．A 13．C 14．C 15．B 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要论述了每个人都有口音。从这个意义上说，指出某人“有口音”是毫无意义的。语言差异可以帮助人们洞察他人的文化经历和背景，因此我们要欣赏口音和方言的价值。 12．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“When I mentioned to some friends that we all have accents, most of them proudly replied, “Well, I speak perfect English/Chinese/etc.” But this kind of answer misses the point.(当我向一些朋友提到我们都有口音时，他们中的大多数人自豪地回答说：“嗯，我的英语/汉语/等等都说得很好。”但这种回答没有抓住要点。)”可知，作者认为他/她的朋友忽略了口音的真正含义。故选A。 13．推理判断题。根据第三段“The sentence is well-formed and clearly communicative, according to native Singapore English speakers’ solid system of grammar. Why should it be wrong just because it’s different?(根据新加坡英语母语者扎实的语法体系，句子结构良好，交际清晰。为什么仅仅因为不同就应该是错的呢？)”可知，作者认为不能因为它不同就认为它是错的。所以作者使用新加坡口语的例子是在说明方言的使用是合理的。故选C。 14．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Language differences like these provide insights into people’s cultural experiences and backgrounds. In a global age, the way one speaks is a distinct part of one’s identity. Most people would be happy to talk about the cultures behind their speech. We’d learn more about the world we live in and make friends along the way.(像这样的语言差异提供了对人们的文化经历和背景的见解。在全球化时代，一个人说话的方式是一个人身份的一个独特部分。大多数人都乐于谈论他们讲话背后的文化。我们会更多地了解我们生活的世界，并在此过程中结交朋友。)”可知，作者在最后一段中建议我们欣赏口音和方言的价值，这样我们可以更好了解我们的世界，交更多的朋友。故选C。 15．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段“Funnily enough, in terms of the language study, every person speaks with an accent. It is the regular differences in how we produce sounds that define our accents. Even if you don’t hear it yourself, you speak with some sort of accent. In this sense, it’s pointless to point out that someone “has an accent”. We all do!(有趣的是，就语言学习而言，每个人说话都带有口音。我们发音的规律差异决定了我们的口音。即使你自己没有听到，你说话也带有某种口音。从这个意义上说，指出某人“有口音”是没有意义的。我们都有！)”可知，本段主要讲的是每个人都有口音。从这个意义上说，指出某人“有口音”是毫无意义的，因此最恰当的题目是B选项“Everyone Has an Accent(每个人都有口音)”。故选B。 16．G 17．F 18．A 19．B 20．C 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些与dog有关的英语短语并解释了这些短语的意思以及使用语境。 16．上文“Americans use many expressions with the word “dog”. People in the United States love their dogs and treat them well.(美国人用很多词来形容“狗”。美国人爱他们的狗，对他们很好)”说明美国人爱狗并善待它们。空处进一步说明美国人如何善待狗。G项中的They指代前文中的“ Americans ”，说明“他们带着他们的狗散步，让它们在外面玩耍，给它们好吃的食物。”符合语境。故选G。 17．上文“Some people say we live in a dog eat dog world.(有人说我们生活在一个狗咬狗的世界里)”说明这是一种比喻，表示竞争激烈的社会状态。空处进一步解释这一说法，并引出下文。F项中的That指代前文中的“we live in a dog eat dog world”，“like good jobs”和下文中的“ to be successful, a person has to work like a dog”相呼应。说明“生活在一个狗咬狗的世界里”意味着很多人都在争夺同样的东西，比如好工作。故选F。 18．上文“Such hard work can make people dog tired. And, the situation would be even worse if they became sick as a dog.(如此艰苦的工作会使人疲惫不堪。而且，如果他们像狗一样生病，情况会更糟)”以及下文“This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life.(这意味着每个人在一生中都有一段成功的时期)”说明我们会遇到一些负面的情况，但是每个人在其一生中都会享受成功的时期。空处承上启下，和前文形成转折关系，并引出下文。A项中的“every dog has its day”和下文中的“every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life.”相呼应，说明A项“此外，人们说每只狗都有它的一天。”符合语境。故选A。 19．下文“People who are unkind or uncaring can be described as meaner than a junkyard dog. Junkyard dogs live in places where people throw away things they do not want. Mean dogs are often used to guard this property.

With his palms sweating and heart racing, he told the teacher his concern about his voice. His teacher encouraged him, saying, “It’s not the voice but the poem’s content and the overall presentation that matter.” Those remarks were like sparks of enlightenment. His timidity and lack of confidence finally gave way to the desire to fulfill his long-held dream. Alan nodded and promised to his teacher he would seize the chance and go all out. For the next few weeks, he worked on the poem and surfed the Internet to find some skills to make his voice sound deeper. On the Thanksgiving Day, the skills worked and Alan gave a perfect performance. The audience were blown away by Alan’s presentation and burst out thunderous clapping. With a light-hearted feeling and a happy smile, Alan bowed slightly and walked off the stage. He headed to his teacher, hugged him and expressed his gratitude for his encouragement. Such an unforgettable experience turned Alan into a more confident man. He realised, “It’s important to know what you really want and put all your strength on it. Only when you follow your heart boldly, can you achieve your dreams.” 【导语】本文以“变声”为线索展开，讲述了一个热爱诗歌的男孩Alan，在青春期面临变声的困扰。他在课堂上的读书声引起了同学们的嘲笑，让他感到尴尬和自卑，甚至影响到了他对于诗歌的热爱。然而，他的老师鼓励他不要为此感到尴尬，因为每个人都会经历这个过程。最后，学校决定在感恩节举办一场表演活动，老师希望Alan能为这个活动写一首诗并在活动中朗读。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“听到老师的话，艾伦当场僵住了。”可知，第一段可描写Alan在老师的鼓励下，决定面对自己的变声问题，并为即将到来的感恩节表演活动努力准备。 ②由第二段首句内容“在感恩节那天，技巧发挥了作用，艾伦的表演非常完美。”可知，第二段可描写凭借Alan所学的技巧和努力，他的表演非常完美，向老师表达感谢，最后感悟升华。 2.续写线索：紧张——老师鼓励——积极准备——表演成功——感谢老师——感悟升华 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①重要：matter/count ②实现：fulfill/accomplish ③抓住：seize/grasp 情绪类 ①高兴的：happy/joyful ②感激：gratitude/appreciation 【点睛】【高分句型1】With his palms sweating and heart racing, he told the teacher his concern about his voice.
