For example, they can use pots and pans(平底锅) for drums, somebody can sing or whistle, and someone else can tap a spoon against empty glass bottles. This game not only teaches creativity but also excites an interest in musical instruments. Musical Chairs Musical chairs is excellent for training children's listening skills. Line up two rows of chairs back to back, with one less than the number of kids playing. When the music starts, the kids must walk in a line around the chairs. When the music stops, everyone needs to hurry and sit in a chair. The last person standing is out that round. One chair is removed, and the game continues until there is one winner. Draw the Music This activity encourages children to think creatively and use their imagination. Give each child paper and markers and play a song. Ask the children to draw how the music makes them feel or what they think the sounds would look like. There's no wrong or right here—it's just a bit of fun. But it's a great way to encourage a child's love of music and highlight how music can wake up emotions. Yes/No Game The Yes/No game is used as a warm-up for music class. The teacher will sing a few notes in a rhythm(韵律) with the words “yes” or “no” as each note. For example they might sing a scale(音阶) with the words, “yes, yes, no, no, yes, no, yes.” The kids then must repeat the phrase back to the teacher with the opposite words, “no, no, yes, yes, no, yes, no.” This game is wonderful for teaching scales and encouraging musical memory. 1. What do DIY Band and Draw the Music have in common? A. They can develop kids' creativity. B. They will enrich children's emotions. C. They should use musical instruments. D. They must include a large number of kids. 2. Which game relates to competing? A. DIY Band. B. Musical Chairs. C. Draw the Music. D. Yes/No Game. 3. What happens to students during the warm-up game for music class? A. They are grouped. B. They practice memory. C. They sing what the teacher sings. D. They are required to answer questions. 【答案】1. A 2. B 3. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。介绍了四种音乐游戏，这些游戏可以帮助孩子们在玩乐中学习音乐，包括DIY乐队、音乐椅子、画音乐和是非游戏，每种游戏都有其独特之处，旨在培养孩子们的创造力、听力技能、情感表达和音乐记忆。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据DIY Band部分中的“This game not only teaches creativity but also excites an interest in musical instruments.(这个游戏不仅教会了创造力，还激发了对乐器的兴趣)”和Draw the Music部分中的“This activity encourages children to think creatively and use their imagination.(这项活动鼓励孩子们创造性地思考并发挥想象力)”可知，DIY Band和Draw the Music这两个游戏的共同点在于它们都能培养孩子们的创造力。故选A项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Musical Chairs部分中的“One chair is removed, and the game continues until there is one winner.(移除一把椅子，游戏继续进行，直到产生一个胜者)”可知，音乐椅子这个游戏与竞争有关，因为最终会有一个胜者。故选B项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Yes/No Game部分中的“This game is wonderful for teaching scales and encouraging musical memory.(这个游戏对于教授音阶和鼓励音乐记忆非常棒)”可知，在音乐课的热身游戏中，学生们会练习记忆。故选B项。 B When Montgomery was at college, he decided to study the Chinese language. “My friends laughed at my decision. Just like most Americans, they didn’t know much about China then. Who knew what China would become in the 21st century?”he says. To find a China-related job after graduating from university, he became a businessman related to US-China trade. Traveling and meeting people in different parts of China, he found that the more he learned about China, the more he was attracted by its history and culture. When he found that there was no English podcast (播客) about Chinese history in 2010,he decided to launch one himself. He worked from home using very simple recording and editing facilities. Each of the half-hour episodes (集) took him 18 to 20 hours to research, write, record and edit. “China has a great history. I try to get more Americans to appreciate it,” says Montgomery. “There are many topics to talk about. I use my common sense to feel what will be interesting to most people.” His China History Podcast is now downloaded 1.5 million times a year, with audience from the United States, China and other countries. “I downloaded a few episodes and discovered that they were perfect for those days when I drove a long distance. It turned the boring hours into enjoyable learning experiences,” says Seligman, 62, an author who spent eight years in China. “Montgomery brings Chinese history and culture to life in a completely new way. As you listen, you often get the impression that he was a witness (见证者) to the events he described,” says Seligman. Many overseas Chinese are grateful to Montgomery for reconnecting them with their ancestral roots. And to his surprise, local Chinese are also welcoming the show as a great resource for learning English. “After more than 25 years doing sales and marketing of ‘made in China’ products, I’ve now become a sort of a salesman of Chinese history,” says Montgomery. 4. What was Montgomery’s friends’ attitude towards his decision? A. Unconcerned. B. Curious. C. Unsupportive. D. Favorable. 5. How did Montgomery choose topics? A. By referring to similar works online. B. On the basis of his own understanding. C. Through recommendations from Chinese. D. By using the knowledge learnt in college. 6. Which of the following can be used to describe Montgomery? A. Honest and generous. B. Focused and creative. C. Intelligent and humorous. D. Strict and knowledgeable. 7. What is the suitable title for the text? A. “Selling” Chinese History to the World B. Bringing Chinese Together Through Podcast C. Exploring a New Resource for Language Learning D. “Creating” History—Popularizing “Made in China” Products 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了Montgomery制作英语播客介绍中国文化的事迹。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段Montgomery所说的“My friends laughed at my decision. Just like most Americans, they didn’t know much about China then. Who knew what China would become in the 21st century?(我朋友嘲笑我的决定。和多数美国人一样，他们当时对中国知之甚少)”可知，对于Montgomery打算学习中文的决定，他的朋友是不支持的。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段Montgomery所说的“There are many topics to talk about. I use my common sense to feel what will be interesting to most people.(有很多话题可以谈。我按自己的常识来感知多数人会对什么话题感兴趣)”可知，Montgomery是以他自己的认识理解来选择话题的。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“When he found that there was no English podcast (播客) about Chinese history in 2010,he decided to launch one himself. He worked from home using very simple recording and editing facilities. Each of the half-hour episodes (集) took him 18 to 20 hours to research, write, record and edit.(2010年时发现我们没有关于中国历史的英语播客，他便决定自己制作一个。他在家工作，使用非常简单的录音和编辑设备。每集半小时需要18至20小时的研究、写作、录音和编辑工作)”可知，Montgomery在设备简陋的条件下开创了一个介绍中国历史的英语播客，且精心制作每一集内容，所以他是有创造力的，也是专注的。故选B项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段Montgomery所言“After more than 25 years doing sales and marketing of ‘made in China’ products, I’ve now become a sort of a salesman of Chinese history(销售和营销“中国制造”的产品25年，我现在已经是一位中国历史的销售员)”可知，他通过制作英语播客介绍中国历史，把中国历史“销售”到世界各地，符合本文大意。故选A项。 C Venus (金星) is the brightest planet in the sky. The orbit of Venus is inside the orbit of Earth. Venus is always relatively close to the Sun in the sky. When Venus is on one side of the Sun, it’s following the Sun in the sky and brightens into view shortly after the Sun sets. This is when Venus is seen as the Evening Star. When Venus is on the other side of the Sun, it leads the Sun. Venus will rise in the morning a few hours before the Sun. Then as the Sun rises, the sky brightens and Venus fades away in the daytime sky. This is when Venus is called the Morning Star. However, it’s interesting that ancient sky viewers took Venus for two separate sky objects: the Morning Star and the Evening Star. Venus appears white or yellowish-white when viewed through a telescope. The reason is that it’s covered with a thick carbon dioxide (CO₂) atmosphere and sulphuric acid (硫酸) clouds, which obscure direct observations. So the color of the Venusian surface is not exactly known. However, based on data collected by spacecraft missions, scientists believe that it likely takes on various shades of red, brown, and gray. Venus has an average surface temperature of about 462℃, which makes it one of the hottest places in the Solar System. Besides its short distance from the Sun, Venus’ extremely high temperature is primarily a result of its thick atmosphere, which is composed mainly of carbon dioxide. It creates the greenhouse effect, which traps solar radiation (射线). Unlike the Earth, where a day is made up of 24 hours, a Venusian day lasts about 243Earth days! Just imagine a day lasting for months and months, with the Sun rising and setting only once during that full period. While on the Earth we are used to a year 365 days, the duration of a Venusian year is about 225 Earth days. Surprisingly, this means that a Venusian year is actually shorter than a Venusian day! 8. What can we learn from Paragraph l? A. Venus can be seen only in the early morning. B. Venus is a bright planet with two other names. C. The Evening Star starts to appear before the sun goes down. D. The Morning Star and the Evening Star are two different objects. 9. What does the underlined word “obscure” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Help. B. Change. C. Cloud. D. Postpone. 10. What is the major cause of the extreme heat on the surface of Venus? A. The big size of the planet. B. The short distance from the Earth. C. The planet’s special landform. D. The heavy atmosphere surrounding it. 11. How does the author support his idea in the last paragraph? A. By providing examples. B. By making comparisons. C. By discussing the background. D. By presenting cause and effect. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了金星这颗行星的一些特点。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Venus (金星) is the brightest planet in the sky.(金星是天空中最亮的行星)”以及“However, it’s interesting that ancient sky viewers took Venus for two separate sky objects: the Morning Star and the Evening Star. (然而，有趣的是，古代的天空观察者把金星当成了两个不同的天体：晨星和昏星)”可知，金星是一颗明亮的行星，还有另外两个名字。故选B。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“The reason is that it’s covered with a thick carbon dioxide (CO₂) atmosphere and sulphuric acid (硫酸) clouds(原因是它被厚厚的二氧化碳大气和硫酸云所覆盖)”可知，金星被厚厚的二氧化碳大气和硫酸云所覆盖，这使得直接观测变得模糊。由此可知，划线词意思是“使模糊不清”。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Besides its short distance from the Sun, Venus’ extremely high temperature is primarily a result of its thick atmosphere, which is composed mainly of carbon dioxide.(除了离太阳很近之外，金星的极高温度主要是由于它的大气层很厚，主要由二氧化碳组成)”可知，金星表面极端高温的主要原因是周围沉重的大气。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Unlike the Earth, where a day is made up of 24 hours, a Venusian day lasts about 243Earth days! Just imagine a day lasting for months and months, with the Sun rising and setting only once during that full period. While on the Earth we are used to a year 365 days, the duration of a Venusian year is about 225 Earth days. Surprisingly, this means that a Venusian year is actually shorter than a Venusian day!(地球上的一天是24小时，而金星上的一天是243个地球日！想象一下，一天持续好几个月，在这段时间里，太阳只升起和落下一次。在地球上，我们习惯于一年365天，而金星一年的持续时间大约是225个地球日。令人惊讶的是，这意味着金星的一年实际上比金星的一天短！)”可推知，作者通过比较支持他在最后一段的观点。故选B。 D Imagine you’ve just had the best French toast of your life. It was so delicious that you wanted your best friend to be able to understand how wonderful it was. The trouble is that he wasn’t with you, and you didn’t have your phone on you to take a picture, either. So you have to communicate how amazing it was. How can you ensure that the message you want to project is explained in the way that it was intended? How do you recreate a scene, as you experienced it yourself, in the mind of another person? This is easier said than done. Specific parts of the brain seem to be highly specialized for language. Thankfully, knowledge of specific neuro-anatomy (神经解剖学) isn’t necessary here. In fact, it’s not about which specialized regions need to be activated (激活) and in what way. It’s not about what happens in the brain of a single person at all. Instead, the most important insight comes from the very general pattern of brain activity across the two people communicating. This is the phenomenon of neural coupling. Neural coupling is the synchrony (同步性) in brain states between a speaker and a listener. When you’re the speaker, your goal is to recreate the same pattern of brain activity that you have in your head inside the head of your conversational partner. The more that the listener’s brain has the same pattern of activity as your brain, the better he understands your message. The better you are at recreating that same pattern of brain activity in his head, the. better the communication. Neuroimaging tool fMRI is used in the related research, which finds that the degree of neural synchrony between conversation partners indicates how well they understand one another’s messages. The greater the synchrony, the more we’re understood. Neural coupling offers rich instructions for businesses, which have the additional challenge of mounting their communication to broad and diverse audiences. By employing neural coupling, they are more likely to deliver their message more clearly and effectively to their partners. 12. Why does the author start the text with French toast? A. To lead in the topic. B. To share his experience. C. To analyze his discovery. D. To add background information. 13. What is the key to better understanding the information transmitted between two people? A. The popularity of the content. B. The richer knowledge of the listener. C. The better language ability of the speaker. D. The same working pattern of the two brains. 14. Why is fMRI used in the research? A. To improve the conversation effect. B. To record the conversation contents. C. To test the performance of neural coupling. D. To analyze the procedure of neural synchrony. 15. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The challenges facing businesses. B. The approaches to exchanging messages. C. The significance of broadening audiences. D. The practical application of neural coupling. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了大脑的工作模式会影响信息的传递，解释了研究开展的经过以及发现。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Imagine you’ve just had the best French toast of your life. It was so delicious that you wanted your best friend to be able to understand how wonderful it was. The trouble is that he wasn’t with you, and you didn’t have your phone on you to take a picture, either. So you have to communicate how amazing it was. How can you ensure that the message you want to project is explained in the way that it was intended? How do you recreate a scene, as you experienced it yourself, in the mind of another person? This is easier said than done.(想象一下，你刚刚吃了一生中最美味的法式吐司。它是如此美味，你希望你最好的朋友能够理解它是多么美妙。问题是他当时没和你在一起，你也没带手机拍照。所以你必须传达它有多棒。你如何确保你想要传达的信息是按照预期的方式来解释的？你如何在另一个人的脑海中再现一个你亲身经历过的场景？这说起来容易做起来难)”可知，作者以法式吐司开头是为了引入话题。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Instead, the most important insight comes from the very general pattern of brain activity across the two people communicating. This is the phenomenon of neural coupling.(相反，最重要的洞察力来自于两个人交流时大脑活动的一般模式。这就是神经耦合现象)”可知，更好地理解两个人之间传递的信息的关键是两个大脑的工作模式相同。故选D。 14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Neuroimaging tool fMRI is used in the related research, which finds that the degree of neural synchrony between conversation partners indicates how well they understand one another’s messages. The greater the synchrony, the more we’re understood.(相关研究使用了神经成像工具功能磁共振成像，该研究发现，对话伙伴之间的神经同步程度表明他们对彼此信息的理解程度。同步度越高，我们就越能被理解)”可知，在研究中使用功能磁共振成像是为了测试神经耦合的性能。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Neural coupling offers rich instructions for businesses, which have the additional challenge of mounting their communication to broad and diverse audiences. By employing neural coupling, they are more likely to deliver their message more clearly and effectively to their partners.(神经耦合为企业提供了丰富的指导，这些企业面临着向广泛和不同的受众进行沟通的额外挑战。通过使用神经耦合，他们更有可能将自己的信息更清晰、更有效地传递给他们的伴侣)”可知，最后一段主要讲神经耦合的实际应用。故选D。 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。 A recent study showed that money can buy happiness, but only a certain amount. The researchers concluded that the ideal (理想) income for individuals is $95,000 a year for life satisfaction. ___16___ That means money is only a part of what makes us happy. If we’re really unhappy to our core (核心) inner being, then there are limits to how happy money can make us. What exactly is happiness anyway? Is it a car, a house or a big screen TV? Buying a new car feels great at first. But months and years later, it’ll just be a car. ___17___ And then you’re back to where you started. Or you’ll want more. Happiness is a feeling. It is often used to describe a range of positive emotions, including joy, pride, contentment, and gratitude. Science now shows that happiness is not about how much money you have, but how you spend it. Donating can help you find the meaning in life. You don’t have to have large amounts of cash to make a difference. ___18___ Spending money on experiences has been shown to increase happiness as well. ___19___ You can travel, learn a new musical instrument, or even take a cooking class. ___20___ It could be sleeping in. It might be a hug or watching a butterfly. Money doesn’t have anything to do with these. However, these are the little things in life that matter. They bring us happiness. Happiness is found in the smallest behaviors rather than material things. A. The newness eventually wears off. B. What else brings a smile to your face? C. How do you develop the right attitude towards money? D. They create memories and connections that can last for a lifetime. E. You can just buy a cup of coffee for the person in line behind you. F. If you see someone else’s fancy car it’s easy to want the same thing. G. Once that amount is reached, further income is actually related with reduced happiness. 【答案】16. G 17. A 18. E 19. D 20. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了幸福感的来源以及如何获得更久的幸福感。 【16题详解】 根据上文“The researchers concluded that the ideal (理想的) income for individuals is $95,000 a year for life satisfaction.(研究人员得出的结论是，个人的理想年收入是9.5万美元)”可知，上文提到了理想年收入，本句承接上文，说明这一数字对人幸福感的影响。故G选项“一旦达到这个数字，收入的增加实际上与幸福感的降低有关”符合语境，故选G。 【17题详解】 根据上文“What exactly is happiness anyway? Is it a car, a house or a big screen TV? Buying a new car feels great at first. But months and years later, it’ll just be a car.(幸福到底是什么？是一辆车，一所房子还是一台大屏幕电视？刚买新车的时候感觉很棒。但几个月或几年后，它就只是一辆车了)”可知，上文提到随着时间过去，车子也变得习以为常，不再有新鲜感了。故A选项“新鲜感最终会消失”符合语境，故选A。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Science now shows that happiness is not about how much money you have, but how you spend it. Donating can help you find the meaning in life. You don’t have to have large amounts of cash to make a difference.(现在科学表明，幸福不在于你有多少钱，而在于你如何花钱。捐赠可以帮助你找到生活的意义。你不需要有大量的现金来做出改变)”可知，本句承接上文，说明如何通过捐赠来找到生活的意义。故E选项“你可以给排在你后面的人买杯咖啡”符合语境，故选E。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Spending money on experiences has been shown to increase happiness as well.(把钱花在体验上也能增加幸福感)”可知，本句承接上文，说明体验带来的影响。故D选项“它们创造的记忆和联系可以持续一生”符合语境，故选D。 【20题详解】 根据后文“It could be sleeping in. It might be a hug or watching a butterfly. Money doesn’t have anything to do with these. However, these are the little things in life that matter. They bring us happiness. Happiness is found in the smallest behaviors rather than material things.(可能是睡懒觉。它可能是一个拥抱或看蝴蝶。钱和这些没有任何关系。然而，这些都是生活中重要的小事。他们给我们带来幸福。幸福存在于最小的行为中，而不是物质的东西中)”可知，后文主要列举了其他一些让人幸福的事情。故B选项“还有什么能让你开心？”符合语境，故选B。 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。 Eli opened his eyes slowly.

Or they are never scared of anything frightening. Or they have magic power and can help those in great trouble out. Why hasn't this ever happened to me? I am not as smart as the kids in the movies. I have never met with anything scary. And I am not powerful enough to help someone out of trouble. But I do hope I can become such a hero as those in the movies. My mother says the heroes in the movies don't exist in real life, adding that being a hero is really good, but I am too young to become one. It was Monday. Nothing seemed special. It was sunny, with birds singing in the sky. I was walking home from school along the usual street when I noticed an old woman on the other side of the street. She was walking very slowly, sliding her hand along the fence. She looked like a person left behind by the subway; everyone was racing past her. Deep down in my heart, I sensed that something was not right. Out of curiosity, I decided to cross the street. I squeezed (挤) into the crowd and approached her from the side. “Are you okay? ”I asked. She made no answer. “Excuse me,” I said a little louder. “Are you okay?” “Can you give me your hand, little boy?” asked the woman, looking sad. Without hesitation, I gave her my hand. Then I saw her face lit up. It was then that I realized that she was blind. “Where are you going?” I asked her. “To my daughter’s home,” she replied. “It’s her birthday today. I bring her a gift.” 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。 The woman told me her daughter’s address. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “You are here!” the daughter said in disbelief. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The woman told me her daughter’s address. It wasn’t far. Keeping her hand in mine, I walked with her towards her daughter’s house. While we walked, she told me about her daughter, who had just had her own baby. Her daughter was always busy taking care of her new baby. She forgot her own birthday. But the mother kept it in mind and intended to give her a surprise. When we arrived at her daughter’s house, we walked up the steps and I knocked on the door. Her daughter answered the door. “You are here!” the daughter said in disbelief. She was more surprised when her mother presented her with a beautiful scarf, which reminded her of her birthday. It was obvious that both the daughter and her mother were overwhelmed with joy. The daughter thanked me for leading her blind mother to her house, saying, “Thank you so much. You’re a real little hero!” Wild with joy, I rushed home and told my mother, “Someone called me a hero!” Mom said proudly, “You are as great as the heroes in the movies.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，作者讲述了自己虽然还是一个孩子，却梦想着成为像电视里一样英雄，有一天放学回家的路上帮助了一个盲人老太太。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“那个女人告诉我她女儿的地址。”可知，此段可描写作者带老太太去找她的女儿。 ②由第二段首句内容“‘你来了！’女儿难以置信地说。”可知，此段可描写女儿很意外母亲的到来，她们感谢作者的帮助，作者很高兴，回家后妈妈称作者为英雄。 2. 续写线索： 作者送老太太去女儿家——老太太想给过生日的女儿一个惊喜——女儿看到母亲后很惊讶——感谢作者的帮助——作者母亲称作者为英雄 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①忙于： be busy in/be occupied with ②记住： remember/keep ...in mind ③打算：intend to/plan to/decide to 情绪类 ①惊讶的：surprised/astonished/amazed/astounded ②骄傲地：proudly/with pride 【点睛】【高分句型1】Keeping her hand in mine, I walked with her towards her daughter’s house.

For example, they can use pots and pans(平底锅) for drums, somebody can sing or whistle, and someone else can tap a spoon against empty glass bottles. This game not only teaches creativity but also excites an interest in musical instruments. Musical Chairs Musical chairs is excellent for training children's listening skills. Line up two rows of chairs back to back, with one less than the number of kids playing. When the music starts, the kids must walk in a line around the chairs. When the music stops, everyone needs to hurry and sit in a chair. The last person standing is out that round. One chair is removed, and the game continues until there is one winner. Draw the Music This activity encourages children to think creatively and use their imagination. Give each child paper and markers and play a song. Ask the children to draw how the music makes them feel or what they think the sounds would look like. There's no wrong or right here—it's just a bit of fun. But it's a great way to encourage a child's love of music and highlight how music can wake up emotions. Yes/No Game The Yes/No game is used as a warm-up for music class. The teacher will sing a few notes in a rhythm(韵律) with the words “yes” or “no” as each note. For example, they might sing a scale(音阶) with the words, “yes, yes, no, no, yes, no, yes.” The kids then must repeat the phrase back to the teacher with the opposite words, “no, no, yes, yes, no, yes, no.” This game is wonderful for teaching scales and encouraging musical memory. 1. What do DIY Band and Draw the Music have in common? A. They can develop kids' creativity. B. They will enrich children's emotions. C. They should use musical instruments. D. They must include a large number of kids. 2. Which game relates to competing? A. DIY Band. B. Musical Chairs. C. Draw the Music. D. Yes/No Game. 3. What happens to students during the warm-up game for music class? A. They are grouped. B. They practice memory. C. They sing what the teacher sings. D. They are required to answer questions. B When Montgomery was at college, he decided to study the Chinese language. “My friends laughed at my decision. Just like most Americans, they didn’t know much about China then. Who knew what China would become in the 21st century?”he says. To find a China-related job after graduating from university, he became a businessman related to US-China trade. Traveling and meeting people in different parts of China, he found that the more he learned about China, the more he was attracted by its history and culture. When he found that there was no English podcast (播客) about Chinese history in 2010,he decided to launch one himself. He worked from home using very simple recording and editing facilities. Each of the half-hour episodes (集) took him 18 to 20 hours to research, write, record and edit. “China has a great history. I try to get more Americans to appreciate it,” says Montgomery. “There are many topics to talk about. I use my common sense to feel what will be interesting to most people.” His China History Podcast is now downloaded 1.5 million times a year with audience from the United States, China and other countries. “I downloaded a few episodes and discovered that they were perfect for those days when I drove a long distance. It turned the boring hours into enjoyable learning experiences,” says Seligman, 62, an author who spent eight years in China. “Montgomery brings Chinese history and culture to life in a completely new way. As you listen, you often get the impression that he was a witness (见证者) to the events he described,” says Seligman. Many overseas Chinese are grateful to Montgomery for reconnecting them with their ancestral roots. And to his surprise, local Chinese are also welcoming the show as a great resource for learning English. “After more than 25 years doing sales and marketing of ‘made in China’ products, I’ve now become a sort of a salesman of Chinese history,” says Montgomery. 4. What was Montgomery’s friends’ attitude towards his decision? A. Unconcerned. B. Curious. C. Unsupportive. D. Favorable. 5. How did Montgomery choose topics? A. By referring to similar works online. B. On the basis of his own understanding. C. Through recommendations from Chinese. D. By using the knowledge learnt in college. 6. Which of the following can be used to describe Montgomery? A. Honest and generous. B. Focused and creative. C. Intelligent and humorous. D. Strict and knowledgeable. 7. What is the suitable title for the text? A. “Selling” Chinese History to the World B. Bringing Chinese Together Through Podcast C. Exploring a New Resource for Language Learning D. “Creating” History—Popularizing “Made in China” Products C Venus (金星) is the brightest planet in the sky. The orbit of Venus is inside the orbit of Earth. Venus is always relatively close to the Sun in the sky. When Venus is on one side of the Sun, it’s following the Sun in the sky and brightens into view shortly after the Sun sets. This is when Venus is seen as the Evening Star. When Venus is on the other side of the Sun, it leads the Sun. Venus will rise in the morning a few hours before the Sun. Then as the Sun rises, the sky brightens and Venus fades away in the daytime sky. This is when Venus is called the Morning Star. However, it’s interesting that ancient sky viewers took Venus for two separate sky objects: the Morning Star and the Evening Star. Venus appears white or yellowish-white when viewed through a telescope. The reason is that it’s covered with a thick carbon dioxide (CO₂) atmosphere and sulphuric acid (硫酸) clouds, which obscure direct observations. So the color of the Venusian surface is not exactly known. However, based on data collected by spacecraft missions, scientists believe that it likely takes on various shades of red, brown, and gray. Venus has an average surface temperature of about 462℃, which makes it one of the hottest places in the Solar System. Besides its short distance from the Sun, Venus’ extremely high temperature is primarily a result of its thick atmosphere, which is composed mainly of carbon dioxide. It creates the greenhouse effect, which traps solar radiation (射线). Unlike the Earth, where a day is made up of 24 hours, a Venusian day lasts about 243Earth days! Just imagine a day lasting for months and months, with the Sun rising and setting only once during that full period. While on the Earth we are used to a year 365 days, the duration of a Venusian year is about 225 Earth days. Surprisingly, this means that a Venusian year is actually shorter than a Venusian day! 8. What can we learn from Paragraph l? A. Venus can be seen only in the early morning. B. Venus is a bright planet with two other names. C. The Evening Star starts to appear before the sun goes down. D. The Morning Star and the Evening Star are two different objects. 9. What does the underlined word “obscure” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Help. B. Change. C. Cloud. D. Postpone. 10. What is the major cause of the extreme heat on the surface of Venus? A. The big size of the planet. B. The short distance from the Earth. C. The planet’s special landform. D. The heavy atmosphere surrounding it. 11. How does the author support his idea in the last paragraph? A. By providing examples. B. By making comparisons. C. By discussing the background. D. By presenting cause and effect. D Imagine you’ve just had the best French toast of your life. It was so delicious that you wanted your best friend to be able to understand how wonderful it was. The trouble is that he wasn’t with you, and you didn’t have your phone on you to take a picture, either. So you have to communicate how amazing it was. How can you ensure that the message you want to project is explained in the way that it was intended? How do you recreate a scene, as you experienced it yourself, in the mind of another person? This is easier said than done. Specific parts of the brain seem to be highly specialized for language. Thankfully, knowledge of specific neuro-anatomy (神经解剖学) isn’t necessary here. In fact, it’s not about which specialized regions need to be activated (激活) and in what way. It’s not about what happens in the brain of a single person at all. Instead, the most important insight comes from the very general pattern of brain activity across the two people communicating. This is the phenomenon of neural coupling. Neural coupling is the synchrony (同步性) in brain states between a speaker and a listener. When you’re the speaker, your goal is to recreate the same pattern of brain activity that you have in your head inside the head of your conversational partner. The more that the listener’s brain has the same pattern of activity as your brain, the better he understands your message. The better you are at recreating that same pattern of brain activity in his head, the. better the communication. Neuroimaging tool fMRI is used in the related research, which finds that the degree of neural synchrony between conversation partners indicates how well they understand one another’s messages. The greater the synchrony, the more we’re understood. Neural coupling offers rich instructions for businesses, which have the additional challenge of mounting their communication to broad and diverse audiences. By employing neural coupling, they are more likely to deliver their message more clearly and effectively to their partners. 12. Why does the author start the text with French toast? A. To lead in the topic. B. To share his experience. C To analyze his discovery. D. To add background information. 13. What is the key to better understanding the information transmitted between two people? A. The popularity of the content. B. The richer knowledge of the listener. C. The better language ability of the speaker. D. The same working pattern of the two brains. 14. Why is fMRI used in the research? A. To improve the conversation effect. B. To record the conversation contents. C. To test the performance of neural coupling. D. To analyze the procedure of neural synchrony. 15. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A.

In the movies, kids are always so special. They are usually really smart. Or they are never scared of anything frightening. Or they have magic power and can help those in great trouble out. Why hasn't this ever happened to me? I am not as smart as the kids in the movies. I have never met with anything scary. And I am not powerful enough to help someone out of trouble. But I do hope I can become such a hero as those in the movies. My mother says the heroes in the movies don't exist in real life, adding that being a hero is really good, but I am too young to become one. It was Monday. Nothing seemed special. It was sunny, with birds singing in the sky. I was walking home from school along the usual street when I noticed an old woman on the other side of the street. She was walking very slowly, sliding her hand along the fence. She looked like a person left behind by the subway; everyone was racing past her. Deep down in my heart, I sensed that something was not right. Out of curiosity, I decided to cross the street. I squeezed (挤) into the crowd and approached her from the side. “Are you okay? ”I asked. She made no answer. “Excuse me,” I said a little louder. “Are you okay?” “Can you give me your hand, little boy?” asked the woman, looking sad. Without hesitation, I gave her my hand. Then I saw her face lit up. It was then that I realized that she was blind. “Where are you going?” I asked her. “To my daughter’s home,” she replied. “It’s her birthday today. I bring her a gift.” 注意：1. 续写词数应为 150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 The woman told me her daughter’s address. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “You are here!” the daughter said in disbelief. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1-5 CBBAC 6-10 BACAB 11-15 ABACA 16-20 BCBAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
