B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了三本儿童读物。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据A LITTLE PRINCESS部分中“The novel tells of the story of a wealthy young girl, Sara Crewe, who is sent to a boarding school during her father’s campaign in India.(这部小说讲述了一个富有的小女孩莎拉·克鲁的故事，她在父亲在印度竞选期间被送到一所寄宿学校)”、THE SECRET GARDEN部分中“The Secret Garden is a beautiful tale of friendship, secrets and human spirits. A spoiled girl named Mary return s to England from India when her parents die.(《秘密花园》是一个关于友谊、秘密和人类精神的美丽故事。一个叫玛丽的被宠坏的女孩在父母去世后从印度回到了英国)”和PETER PAN部分中“A boy who can fly and magically refuses to grow up, Peter Pan spends his never-ending childhood adventuring on the small island of Neverland as the leader of his gang, the Lost Boys, interacting with mermaids, Indians, fairies and pirates, and from time to time meeting ordinary children from the world outside.(彼得·潘是一个会飞却神奇地拒绝长大的男孩，他的童年是在梦幻岛的小岛上度过的，他是他的帮派“迷失男孩”的领袖，与美人鱼、印第安人、仙女和海盗互动，偶尔也会遇到来自外面世界的普通孩子)”可知，三本书都以儿童作为主要角色。故选D项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据A LITTLE PRINCESS部分中“Price: $7.10 (Paperback Dec.9,1998) (价格：7.10美元(1998年12月9日平装本))”、THE SECRET GARDEN部分中“Price: $3.95 (Paperback July 1,2003)(价格：3.95美元(2003年7月1日平装本))”和PETER PAN部分中“Price: $16.95 (Hardcover Oct. 1,1991)(价格：16.95美元(1991年10月1日精装本))”可知，PETER PAN价格较高是因为它是精装本(Hardcover)，有精美的封面，而其他两本书都是平装本(Paperback)。故选A项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章内容可知，三本书的原价分别为7.1美元、3.95美元和16.95美元，合计28美元；结合表格最后“Order online and you can now save 20% off your total purchase on orders over $25!(在网上订购，现在总订单超过25美元你可以节省20%!)”可知，在线订购满25美元可以享受20%的折扣，因此实际支付金额为28×80%=22.4美元。故选B项。 B “Only when I take the needle out and touch silk thread(线)do I feel fully comfortable.” says Zou Yingzi, an inheritor of Su embroidery(刺绣), an ancient craft that originated from the garden city of Suzhou in Jiangsu province. From Zou’s mother to her grandmothers, all the women in her family are good at needlework, particularly Su embroidery, which features complicated stitches(针法)and the creative use of silk threads dyed in various colors. Su embroidery goes back more than 2000 years. Over centuries needlework had been a must-learn skill for women, who were responsible for making clothes for their families. It was a tradition that mothers should make wedding clothes with exquisite embroidery containing many special stitches for their daughters. Zou’s studio in Suzhou is full of her work. Flowers, cats, butterflies and scenes from nature become vivid and real on silk fabric. One can even make out a single strand(股)of a cat’s fur. A single silk thread can be separated into 16 or more strands, which in most cases are too thin to be seen. Su embroidery is also known for its rich colors, elegant designs and clean stitches. All these characteristics, which distinguish it from other embroidery styles in China, have long been connected with the natural environment and lifestyle of Suzhou. “To some extent, Su embroidery is close to paintings.” says Zheng Lihong, an art professor at Soochow University in Suzhou. “Many artists offered their ink paintings and calligraphy for embroiderers to recreate.” Zou can now skillfully apply various stitching techniques to different parts of her creations. Techniques to stitch a cat’s eyeball, its hair and its tail are different. “Su embroidery is an art form created by women who live in a city that boasts an artistic lifestyle.” Zheng comments. 4. What does the underlined word “exquisite” in paragraph 2mean? A. Motherly. B. Likely. C. Beautiful. D. Grateful. 5. Why is a single thread separated into 16 strands in Su embroidery? A. To make the works more lifelike. B. To make the works more creative. C. To make the threads too thin to be seen clearly. D. To make Su embroidery distinguish from others. 6. What can we learn from Zheng’s words? A. Su embroidery is widely spread. B. Su embroidery is created by women artists. C. Su embroidery is famous for its color and design. D. Su embroidery is closely related to paintings and calligraphy. 7. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. A guidebook to a museum. B. A review of modern painting. C. A culture column in a magazine. D. A research paper on the art of design. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了苏绣这一古老的中国传统工艺，包括其起源、特点、历史背景、技艺传承以及与现代艺术的联系等方面。 【4题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线单词所在句“It was a tradition that mothers should make wedding clothes with exquisite embroidery containing many special stitches for their daughters. (这是一个传统，母亲应该为女儿制作……的刺绣婚纱，其中包含许多特殊的针脚。)”可知，这句话中的“exquisite”用于形容母亲为女儿制作的婚纱上的刺绣，结合上下文可知，这里指的是刺绣非常精美、细致，因此“exquisite”在这里的意思是“美丽的，精致的”。选项A“Motherly (母性的)”；选项B“Likely (有可能的)”；选项C“Beautiful (美丽的)”；选项D“Grateful (感激的)”。故选C。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Flowers, cats, butterflies and scenes from nature become vivid and real on silk fabric. One can even make out a single strand (股) of a cat’s fur. A single silk thread can be separated into 16 or more strands, which in most cases are too thin to be seen. (花、猫、蝴蝶和大自然的景色在真丝织物上变得生动而真实。人们甚至可以辨认出一根猫毛。一根丝线可以分成16股或更多股，在大多数情况下，这些丝线太细而看不见。)”可知，在苏绣中，将一根丝线分成16根或更多的细丝是为了使它们细到几乎看不见，从而让绣品更加逼真，能够展现出更细腻、更真实的细节。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段““To some extent, Su embroidery is close to paintings.” says Zheng Lihong, an art professor at Soochow University in Suzhou. “Many artists offered their ink paintings and calligraphy for embroiderers to recreate.” (“在某种程度上，苏绣接近绘画。苏州东吴大学艺术教授Zheng Lihong说。“许多艺术家将他们的水墨画和书法作品提供给刺绣师进行再创作。”)”可知，苏绣在某种程度上与绘画紧密相关，许多艺术家都提供了他们的水墨画和书法供刺绣师进行再创作。因此，我们可以从郑丽红的话中得知苏绣与绘画和书法有着密切的关系。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，文章主要介绍了苏绣这一中国传统工艺的历史、特点、技艺传承以及与现代艺术的联系。这种内容通常出现在介绍文化、传统工艺或艺术领域的杂志专栏中。故选C。 C The sun rises and sets during the early morning and afternoon rush hours and many drivers find themselves temporarily blinded while driving directly into the bright sunshine. Deadly accidents are regularly caused by such blinding light with danger arising from reflected light off another vehicle, the pavement, or even from waxed and oily windshields. Protecting your eyes is serious business. Some ordinary sunglasses can decline your vision by exposing your eyes to harmful UV rays, blue light, and reflective glare. They can also darken useful vision-enhancing light. So we did our research in optic (镜片) innovation and technology. An independent research conducted by scientists from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory has brought forth ground-breaking technology for human eyesight protection. This super technology was first discovered when NASA scientists looked to nature or a means to super eye protection specifically, by studying the eyes of eagles, known for their extreme visual sharpness. This discovery resulted in what is now known as Eagle Eyes. Eagle Eyes features the most advanced eye protection technology ever created, which blocks 99.9% UVA and UVB—plus the added benefit of blue-light eye protection. Eagle Eyes is the only optic technology that has earned official recognition from the Space Certification Program. Eagle Eyes has the highest customer satisfaction of any item in our 20 year history. We are so excited for you to try the Eagle Eyes breakthrough technology that we will give you a second pair of Eagle for free. You get a pair of Navigator s with stainless steel black frames and the other with stainless steel gold, plus one hard zipper case and one micro-fiber drawstring cleaning bag are included. Keep one pair in your pocket and one in your car. 8. What usually caused traffic accidents according to the passage? A. The drivers’ carelessness. B. The strong sunlight. C. The reflection of vehicles. D. The fault of sunglasses. 9. How did the scientists discover the new technology? A. By analyzing the data. B. By referring to nature. C. By doing some experiment. D. By making some investigation. 10. What is the purpose of this passage? A. To introduce a new kind of sunglasses. B. To explain the innovation of sunglasses. C To promote a sale of a new kind of sunglasses. D. To list the features of a new kind of sunglasses. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Eagle Eyes: Eagles’ Eyes B. Eagle Eyes: Buy One Get One C. Sunglasses: Save Your Eyes D. Sunglasses: Save Your Life 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了一种新型的太阳镜，它能保护眼睛不受强光的伤害，并介绍其优惠方案。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The sun rises and sets during the early morning and afternoon rush hours and many drivers find themselves temporarily blinded while driving directly into the bright sunshine. Deadly accidents are regularly caused by such blinding light with danger arising from reflected light off another vehicle, the pavement, or even from waxed and oily windshields.(太阳在清晨和下午的高峰时段升起和落下，许多司机在直接行驶在明亮的阳光下时发现自己暂时失明。致命事故通常是由这种致盲的光线引起的，而另一辆车、人行道上的反射光，甚至打蜡和油性挡风玻璃上的反射光线也会引起危险)”可知，致命的事故通常是由强烈的太阳光导致的。故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“An independent research conducted by scientists from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory has brought forth ground-breaking technology for human eyesight protection. This super technology was first discovered when NASA scientists looked to nature or a means to super eye protection specifically, by studying the eyes of eagles, known for their extreme visual sharpness.(美国国家航空航天局喷气推进实验室的科学家进行的一项独立研究为人类视力保护带来了突破性的技术。这项超级技术最早是在美国国家航空航天局的科学家通过研究鹰的眼睛来观察大自然或超级护眼的方法时发现的，鹰的眼睛以其极端的视觉清晰度而闻名)”可知，新技术是科学家们通过研究鹰的眼睛来观察大自然或超级护眼的方法时发现的，即科学家通过参考自然来发现新技术。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“This discovery resulted in what is now known as Eagle Eyes.(这一发现产生了现在被称为Eagle Eyes的东西)”、第三段“Eagle Eyes features the most advanced eye protection technology ever created, which blocks 99.9% UVA and UVB—plus the added benefit of blue-light eye protection. Eagle Eyes is the only optic technology that has earned official recognition from the Space Certification Program.(Eagle Eyes采用了有史以来最先进的眼部保护技术，可阻挡99.9%的紫外线A和紫外线B，此外还有蓝光眼部保护的额外好处。Eagle Eyes是唯一获得太空认证计划官方认可的光学技术)”以及第四段“Eagle Eyes has the highest customer satisfaction of any item in our 20 year history. We are so excited for you to try the Eagle Eyes breakthrough technology that we will give you a second pair of Eagle for free.(Eagle Eyes是我们20年历史上客户满意度最高的产品。我们很高兴你能尝试Eagle Eyes的突破性技术，我们将免费给你第二副Eagle Eyes)”可知，本文介绍了一种新型的太阳镜——Eagle Eyes，着重介绍其优点，并在最后一段给出优惠方案，所以文章的目的是推销一种新型太阳镜。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“Eagle Eyes has the highest customer satisfaction of any item in our 20 year history. We are so excited for you to try the Eagle Eyes breakthrough technology that we will give you a second pair of Eagle for free.(Eagle Eyes是我们20年历史上客户满意度最高的产品。我们很高兴你能尝试Eagle Eyes的突破性技术，我们将免费给你第二副Eagle Eyes)”结合全文内容可知，本文介绍了新型的太阳镜——Eagle Eyes，并给出了促销方案，所以“Eagle Eyes：买一送一”可以吸引读者注意，适合作为文章标题。故选B。 D Talking to human-like devices can be great fun — just ask Siri to tell you a joke. But it may also lead to problems. A recent study from the University of Kansas(KU)in the US found that human-like devices keep people from seeking out normal human interaction when they feel lonely. During a series of experiments, participants were asked to write about a time when they felt lonely. They also took part in an online game of “catch” against a computer program that was designed to “throw” the ball to other players more often, but participants believed they were playing with real people online. Participants were then introduced to human-like products, including a vacuum(真空)cleaner designed to appear as if it were smiling. They were also asked to think about their phone in human-like terms, considering questions like “How much does it help you?”. The results showed that the participants were happy with the comfort they got from the machines and didn’t need to seek out normal human interaction. But it wasn’t all bad news, as the team found that there were limits to how far this effect would extend. “As soon as we tell people that it looks like the vacuum cleaner is smiling, they seem to realize it is a machine and not a person,” Olson told Daily Mail. “The effect goes away. This seems to be happening on a very subconscious level.” Researchers believe the results are important for consumers to realize how these types of products could affect their social interaction with real people, especially because so many new products feature interactivity. “If someone notices they are talking more to Siri lately, maybe that has something to do with feeling lonely.” Olson said. “From that standpoint, it’s important to be aware of it.” The study could also help companies design products that can increase the well-being of people who feel lonely, without sacrificing normal social interaction. “Maybe it is more about improving our current relationships,” Olson said, “such as taking a break from screen time and focusing on developing your real personal connections.” 12. What did researchers from the University of Kansas find? A. Human-like devices may help people interact with others. B. Human-like devices may reduce people’s social interaction. C. Interaction with human-like devices may make people feel lonely. D. Lonely people may easily become addicted to human-like devices. 13. What did the participants do during the experiments? A. They were shown devices with human features. B. They were allowed to talk with human-like devices. C. They were arranged to play online games with real people. D. They were encouraged to engage in normal human interaction. 14. What do the underlined words “this effect” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A Lonely people become willing to interact with others. B. Lonely people would get uninterested in computer programs. C. Lonely people are content to interact with human-like machines. D. Lonely people interacting with human-like devices get lonely easily. 15. What is the significance of the study according to Jenny Olson? A. It warns people to stop using human-like devices. B. It shows people what the human-like products function. C. It perhaps helps people who feel lonely improve their well-being. D. It makes lonely people realize their situations and do some changing. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。美国堪萨斯大学(KU)的科学家们最近进行的一项研究发现，当人们感到孤独时，类人设备会阻止他们寻找正常的人际交往，但是这种影响的范围是有限的。这项研究还可以帮助公司设计出能够提高孤独人群幸福感的产品，同时又不会牺牲正常的社交互动。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“A recent study from the University of Kansas(KU)in the US found that human-like devices keep people from seeking out normal human interaction when they feel lonely.(美国堪萨斯大学(KU)最近的一项研究发现，当人们感到孤独时，类人设备会阻止他们寻求正常的人际交往。)”可知，来自美国堪萨斯大学的研究者发现类人设备可能会减少人们正常的人际交往。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Participants were then introduced to human-like products, including a vacuum(真空)cleaner designed to appear as if it were smiling.(研究人员向参与者介绍了类似人类的产品，包括一种看起来像在微笑的真空吸尘器。)”可知，在实验中参与者接触的都是具有人类特征的设备。故选A项。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第二段“The results showed that the participants were happy with the comfort they got from the machines and didn’t need to seek out normal human interaction.(结果显示，参与者对他们从机器中获得的舒适感到满意，不需要寻求正常的人际互动。)”以及第三段划线词所在句“But it wasn’t all bad news, as the team found that there were limits to how far this effect would extend.(但也不全是坏消息，因为研究小组发现，这种影响的延伸范围是有限的。)”以及划线词之后“As soon as we tell people that it looks like the vacuum cleaner is smiling, they seem to realize it is a machine and not a person,(一旦我们告诉人们它看起来像真空吸尘器在微笑，他们似乎意识到这是一个机器，而不是一个人，)”可知，研究结果发现参与者对于与类人设备互动所产生的满意感并不会无限延伸，一旦被告知机器看起来像是真空吸尘器在微笑时，参与人员就意识到这只是一个机器，而不是人，由此可以推知此处的划线词指的是上文所提到的participants were happy with the comfort they got from the machines and didn’t need to seek out normal human interaction.(参与者对他们从机器中得到的舒适感到满意，不需要寻求正常的人类互动。)这种影响，即孤独的人满足于与类人机器的互动。故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Researchers believe the results are important for consumers to realize how these types of products could affect their social interaction with real people,(研究人员认为，这些结果对消费者意识到这些类型的产品如何影响他们与真人的社交互动很重要，)”以及最后一段““Maybe it is more about improving our current relationships,” Olson said, “such as taking a break from screen time and focusing on developing your real personal connections.”(奥尔森说:“也许更重要的是改善我们目前的人际关系，比如暂时离开屏幕，专注于发展你真正的人际关系。”)”可知，这项研究可以让消费者意识到类人设备会影响到他们和现实生活中与真人互动，从而促使孤独的人改善自己目前的人际关系，所以这项研究的意义在于它让孤独的人意识到自己的处境并做出一些改变。故选D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可以填入空白处的最佳选项（选项中有两项为多余选项）。 Lifelong Learning is Good for You It is impossible for everyone to have access to additional formal education. Fortunately, many educational resources have made it easier for people to develop a habit of lifelong learning. ____16____ The following points are reasons why you should stick to lifelong learning. ____17____ In 2015 some researchers found people with a bachelor’s degree can earn much more than those just with a high school degree. In 2014 a report said that 50% of jobs would become unnecessary by 2025 due to technological development. New technology changes the nature of work and we need continuous learning and personal growth to adapt ourselves to the changes. Open-mindedness and curiosity are beneficial to your career. People who enjoy learning are more active at work than those who don’t. Now think of the most admirable colleagues you know. Do they tend to be knowledgeable about almost any topic of interest? Do they make insightful speeches on the topics they know best? ____18____ Those you admire most are those who seem most devoted to learning and personal growth. Our ability to learn is a keystone of human motivation. Have you ever sat in a quiet place and finished a great novel? Do you remember the feeling of accomplishment when you solve a challenging task? Have you managed to conduct difficult experiments or create something new? Education may not always have influence on wealth, health or career. ____19____ There are many reasons why we should continue learning. Lifelong learning isn’t just an economic necessity but a physical, emotional, and social one. ____20____ Once you catch them, you will get one of the most rewarding things in your life. A. We live in an age full of opportunities for learning. B. Educational input determines your competitiveness. C. Educational level influences your work performance. D. Do you keep on lifelong learning and improving? E. Do they seem open-minded and intellectually energetic? F. But it would obviously contribute to the special qualities of everyone. G. For example, books, online courses, Moocs, AI and so on are available. 【答案】16. G 17. B 18. E 19. F 20. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了我们应该坚持终身学习的一些理由。 【16题详解】 前文“Fortunately, many educational resources have made it easier for people to develop a habit of lifelong learning. (幸运的是，许多教育资源使人们更容易养成终身学习的习惯)”提到帮助人们终身学习的教育资源有很多，因此G项“For example, books, online courses, Moocs, AI and so on are available. (例如，书籍、在线课程、慕课、人工智能等都是可用的)”符合语境，对教育资源进行举例，承接前文。故选G。 【17题详解】 根据后文“In 2015 some researchers found people with a bachelor’s degree can earn much more than those just with a high school degree. In 2014 a report said that 50% of jobs would become unnecessary by 2025 due to technological development. New technology changes the nature of work and we need continuous learning and personal growth to adapt ourselves to the changes. (2015年，一些研究人员发现，拥有学士学位的人比只有高中学历的人赚得更多。2014年的一份报告称，到2025年，由于技术的发展，50%的工作岗位将变得不必要。新技术改变了工作的性质，我们需要不断学习和个人成长来适应这些变化)”可知，本段主要介绍教育对工作收入的影响，建议通过学习和成长适应工作上的变化，空处位于段首，是段落主旨句，应该与教育对工作的影响相关，因此B项“Educational input determines your competitiveness. (教育投入决定你的竞争力)”符合语境，契合段落内容。故选B。 【18题详解】 前文“Now think of the most admirable colleagues you know. Do they tend to be knowledgeable about almost any topic of interest? Do they make insightful speeches on the topics they know best? (现在想想你认识的最令人钦佩的同事。他们是否对几乎所有感兴趣的话题都很了解？他们是否会就自己最了解的话题发表深刻的演讲)”提到去想最令人钦佩的同事，以问题的形式介绍他们身上的特质，因此E项“Do they seem open-minded and intellectually energetic? (他们看起来思想开放，智力活跃吗？)”符合语境，同样是疑问句，和前面两个问题是并列关系，且其中的open-minded呼应段首句中的Open-mindedness。故选E。 【19题详解】 前文“Education may not always have influence on wealth, health or career. (教育可能并不总是对财富、健康或职业有影响)”提到教育有可能不会有助于财富、健康或职业，因此F项“But it would obviously contribute to the special qualities of everyone. (但它显然有助于培养每个人的特殊品质)”符合语境，和前文构成转折，其中的it指代前文的Education。故选F。 【20题详解】 后文“Once you catch them, you will get one of the most rewarding things in your life. (一旦你抓住了它们，你就会得到生命中最有价值的东西之一)”提到抓住某件事物带来的好处，因此A项“We live in an age full of opportunities for learning. (我们生活在一个充满学习机会的时代)”符合语境，引出后文，其中的opportunities for learning是后文them所指代的对象。故选A。 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。 At just 7, Angelina Tsuboi discovered her passion for innovation.

(运用了动词不定式作状语） 第二节（满分25分） 47. 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。 My parents were always against me owning my own pet, afraid of the mess it would make or that I would quickly lose interest in taking care of it, but we made a compromise: I could volunteer at a local pet shelter on the weekends to test my sense of responsibility and dedication. That was how I first came to volunteer at the Avondale pet shelter and—more importantly—where I met my future best friend, Chocolate. One hot August afternoon, my boss Charlie told me that they were bringing in a young black Labrador Retriever and that I’d be its primary caretaker. An hour after our conversation and in came Chocolate—a beautiful dog with shining brown fur and amazing blue eyes. At about 3 months old, I expected him to be a lot more energetic and playful, but he immediately backed and lay down at the back of his pen (围栏). I asked Charlie what was the matter with him. He replied that Chocolate had a genetic problem which caused him to be born with a short tail, leading potential owners to think there was something wrong with him; so the breeder felt that they had no choice but to give up the puppy to the shelter. He was overlooked and underappreciated. I felt very angry at the thought that an otherwise healthy dog could be thrown away so easily. At the same time, I felt a deep sympathy for this dog who had been cheated out of the love and attention he deserved. It was at this moment that I resolved to give Chocolate as much love and attention as I could while working as a volunteer. Although Chocolate was reluctant and shy at first. eventually through enough treats and play he slowly came around and warmed up to me. Soon enough, whenever I came around his pen to let him out for his turn of walks and play, Chocolate was always excited and jumping with joy. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: As time passed by, the connection between Chocolate and I grew stronger and stronger. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: One day, Charlie said Chocolate must find a home soon or he would be removed. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: As time passed by, the connection between Chocolate and I grew stronger and stronger. The grassland of the shelter often witnessed heartwarming and harmonious scenes where a girl and a dog chased after each other, or curdled together, leisurely enjoying sunshine’s caress. With my company and care, Chocolate’s previous shyness and timidity gave way to curiosity and enthusiasm. So attached was he to me that he even bit my trousers to stop my pace when I had to head home. Magically, whenever I approached him, my heart would brim with warmth and affection, a sense of responsibility to protect him rising deep down. Perceiving him as my best friend, I resolved to attend to him well and sheltered him from any potential harm. One day, Charlie said Chocolate must find a home soon or he would be removed. The news struck me like a bolt from the blue, making my heart sink with deep concern that he would be ruthlessly abandoned again. However, it suddenly struck me that I could be Chocolate’s owner. Filled with eagerness and anticipation, I pleaded with my parents to allow me to keep Chocolate. Beyond my wildest dreams, they should approve of my request, telling me “Honey, your unconditional love and continuous devotion to Chocolate eventually made us change our original idea.” Now, it is a blessing that Chocolate has become my family member and it is he that awakens me to the realization that nothing can be a greater delight than dedicating love and reaping trust in reward. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者很想拥有自己的宠物，但遭到了父母的反对，后来两方都妥协了，作者在宠物收容所做志愿者，以测试责任感和奉献精神。在这里，作者遇到了一只被忽视的拉布拉多猎犬Chocolate。收容所的负责人Charlie让作者担任Chocolate的主要看护人，并告知作者它因为基因问题导致短尾巴，不被人们接受，所以被送至收容所。作者为此感到生气，对Chocolate充满同情，决定给它更多的爱和关注。虽然起初Chocolate很害羞，但经过作者耐心的陪伴，它开始与作者建立了亲密关系，每次见到作者都会表现出兴奋与欢喜。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“随着时间的流逝，Chocolate和我之间的联系越来越紧密”可知，第一段可描写作者和Chocolate之间日常亲密相处的情景，以及作者由此非常珍视Chocolate，内心产生责任感。 ②由第二段首句内容“有一天，Charlie说Chocolate必须尽快找到一个家，否则就会被赶走”可知，第二段可描写作者因为这个消息而非常难过，想出了自己可以收养Charlie的解决方法，并得到了父母的同意，以及作者从这段经历中得到的感悟。 2. 续写线索：作者和Chocolate联系更紧密——作者和Chocolate亲密相处——作者产生责任感——Chocolate需要尽快找到一个家——作者收养Chocolate——作者的感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①追逐：chase after/run after ②回家：head home/go home ③照顾：attend to/take care of ④抛弃：abandon/desert ⑤改变：change/alter ⑥收获：reap/harvest/gain 情绪类 ①热情：enthusiasm/passion/keenness ②担忧：concern/worry ③喜悦：delight/joy/happiness 【点睛】[高分句型1] The grassland of the shelter often witnessed heartwarming and harmonious scenes where a girl and a dog chased after each other, or curdled together, leisurely enjoying sunshine’s caress.

B “Only when I take the needle out and touch silk thread(线)do I feel fully comfortable.” says Zou Yingzi, an inheritor of Su embroidery(刺绣), an ancient craft that originated from the garden city of Suzhou in Jiangsu province. From Zou’s mother to her grandmothers, all the women in her family are good at needlework, particularly Su embroidery, which features complicated stitches(针法)and the creative use of silk threads dyed in various colors. Su embroidery goes back more than 2000 years. Over centuries needlework had been a must-learn skill for women, who were responsible for making clothes for their families. It was a tradition that mothers should make wedding clothes with exquisite embroidery containing many special stitches for their daughters. Zou’s studio in Suzhou is full of her work. Flowers, cats, butterflies and scenes from nature become vivid and real on silk fabric. One can even make out a single strand(股)of a cat’s fur. A single silk thread can be separated into 16 or more strands, which in most cases are too thin to be seen. Su embroidery is also known for its rich colors, elegant designs and clean stitches. All these characteristics, which distinguish it from other embroidery styles in China, have long been connected with the natural environment and lifestyle of Suzhou. “To some extent, Su embroidery is close to paintings.” says Zheng Lihong, an art professor at Soochow University in Suzhou. “Many artists offered their ink paintings and calligraphy for embroiderers to recreate.” Zou can now skillfully apply various stitching techniques to different parts of her creations. Techniques to stitch a cat’s eyeball its hair and its tail are different. “Su embroidery is an art form created by women who live in a city that boasts an artistic lifestyle.” Zheng comments. 4. What does the underlined word “exquisite” in paragraph 2mean? A. Motherly. B. Likely. C. Beautiful. D. Grateful. 5. Why is a single thread separated into 16 strands in Su embroidery? A. To make the works more lifelike. B. To make the works more creative. C. To make the threads too thin to be seen clearly. D. To make Su embroidery distinguish from others. 6. What can we learn from Zheng’s words? A. Su embroidery is widely spread. B. Su embroidery is created by women artists. C. Su embroidery is famous for its color and design. D. Su embroidery is closely related to paintings and calligraphy. 7. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. A guidebook to a museum. B. A review of modern painting. C. A culture column in a magazine. D. A research paper on the art of design. C The sun rises and sets during the early morning and afternoon rush hours and many drivers find themselves temporarily blinded while driving directly into the bright sunshine. Deadly accidents are regularly caused by such blinding light with danger arising from reflected light off another vehicle, the pavement, or even from waxed and oily windshields. Protecting your eyes is serious business. Some ordinary sunglasses can decline your vision by exposing your eyes to harmful UV rays, blue light, and reflective glare. They can also darken useful vision-enhancing light. So we did our research in optic (镜片) innovation and technology. An independent research conducted by scientists from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory has brought forth ground-breaking technology for human eyesight protection. This super technology was first discovered when NASA scientists looked to nature or a means to super eye protection specifically, by studying the eyes of eagles, known for their extreme visual sharpness. This discovery resulted in what is now known as Eagle Eyes. Eagle Eyes features the most advanced eye protection technology ever created, which blocks 99.9% UVA and UVB—plus the added benefit of blue-light eye protection. Eagle Eyes is the only optic technology that has earned official recognition from the Space Certification Program. Eagle Eyes has the highest customer satisfaction of any item in our 20 year history. We are so excited for you to try the Eagle Eyes breakthrough technology that we will give you a second pair of Eagle for free. You get a pair of Navigator s with stainless steel black frames and the other with stainless steel gold, plus one hard zipper case and one micro-fiber drawstring cleaning bag are included. Keep one pair in your pocket and one in your car. 8. What usually caused traffic accidents according to the passage? A. The drivers’ carelessness. B. The strong sunlight. C.

But it may also lead to problems. A recent study from the University of Kansas(KU)in the US found that human-like devices keep people from seeking out normal human interaction when they feel lonely. During a series of experiments participants were asked to write about a time when they felt lonely. They also took part in an online game of “catch” against a computer program that was designed to “throw” the ball to other players more often, but participants believed they were playing with real people online. Participants were then introduced to human-like products, including a vacuum(真空)cleaner designed to appear as if it were smiling. They were also asked to think about their phone in human-like terms, considering questions like “How much does it help you?”. The results showed that the participants were happy with the comfort they got from the machines and didn’t need to seek out normal human interaction. But it wasn’t all bad news, as the team found that there were limits to how far this effect would extend. “As soon as we tell people that it looks like the vacuum cleaner is smiling, they seem to realize it is a machine and not a person,” Olson told Daily Mail. “The effect goes away. This seems to be happening on a very subconscious level.” Researchers believe the results are important for consumers to realize how these types of products could affect their social interaction with real people, especially because so many new products feature interactivity. “If someone notices they are talking more to Siri lately, maybe that has something to do with feeling lonely.” Olson said. “From that standpoint, it’s important to be aware of it.” The study could also help companies design products that can increase the well-being of people who feel lonely, without sacrificing normal social interaction. “Maybe it is more about improving our current relationships,” Olson said, “such as taking a break from screen time and focusing on developing your real personal connections.” 12 What did researchers from the University of Kansas find? A. Human-like devices may help people interact with others. B. Human-like devices may reduce people’s social interaction. C Interaction with human-like devices may make people feel lonely. D. Lonely people may easily become addicted to human-like devices. 13. What did the participants do during the experiments? A. They were shown devices with human features. B. They were allowed to talk with human-like devices. C. They were arranged to play online games with real people. D. They were encouraged to engage in normal human interaction. 14. What do the underlined words “this effect” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Lonely people become willing to interact with others. B. Lonely people would get uninterested in computer programs. C. Lonely people are content to interact with human-like machines. D. Lonely people interacting with human-like devices get lonely easily. 15. What is the significance of the study according to Jenny Olson? A. It warns people to stop using human-like devices. B. It shows people what the human-like products function. C. It perhaps helps people who feel lonely improve their well-being. D. It makes lonely people realize their situations and do some changing. 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）。 Lifelong Learning is Good for You It is impossible for everyone to have access to additional formal education.

That was how I first came to volunteer at the Avondale pet shelter and—more importantly—where I met my future best friend, Chocolate. One hot August afternoon, my boss Charlie told me that they were bringing in a young black Labrador Retriever and that I’d be its primary caretaker. An hour after our conversation and in came Chocolate—a beautiful dog with shining brown fur and amazing blue eyes. At about 3 months old, I expected him to be a lot more energetic and playful, but he immediately backed and lay down at the back of his pen (围栏). I asked Charlie what was the matter with him. He replied that Chocolate had a genetic problem which caused him to be born with a short tail, leading potential owners to think there was something wrong with him; so the breeder felt that they had no choice but to give up the puppy to the shelter. He was overlooked and underappreciated. I felt very angry at the thought that an otherwise healthy dog could be thrown away so easily. At the same time, I felt a deep sympathy for this dog who had been cheated out of the love and attention he deserved. It was at this moment that I resolved to give Chocolate as much love and attention as I could while working as a volunteer. Although Chocolate was reluctant and shy at first. eventually through enough treats and play he slowly came around and warmed up to me. Soon enough, whenever I came around his pen to let him out for his turn of walks and play, Chocolate was always excited and jumping with joy. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: As time passed by, the connection between Chocolate and I grew stronger and stronger. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: One day, Charlie said Chocolate must find a home soon or he would be removed. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
