M: Well, it’s quarter to 7 now, considering we need to be at Simon’s at 9 and we’ll have to wait for them to cook it, so we need to leave soon … Half an hour, okay? W: A quarter of an hour will be about right, I think. It’ll be better to get there earlier rather than later. M: Yeah, you’re right!

C 【解析】 【原文】M: Today I have with me Lily Jenkins, who will be talking to me about windsurfing. First of all, Lily, do you need to spend a lot of time practicing before you’re any good at it? W: I suppose it mostly depends on the individual fitness. Previous experience in related sports may also be a contributing factor. Interestingly, buying expensive, high-quality boards doesn’t seem to make much difference. M: Do you have any tips about safety? W: Yes, let somebody on shore know what time you’re due back and, just in case the rescue services have to search for you, what colors your board and sail are so they know it’s you. M: What is it about windsurfing that gives you most pleasure? W: Oh, lots of things, such as becoming physically fitter, or discovering how to do things I’d never tried before. But if I had to choose one it’d be the way it lets you empty your mind of all the stress and concerns of daily life. M: Finally, Lily, how do you see your future in windsurfing? W: Well, I’ve thought of coaching but that would mean spending a lot of time in practice pools, whereas the place I like to be is the open sea, perhaps racing other people. M: Thank you, Lily. 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 17. What can the listeners do during the opening? A. Enter a competition B. Meet a sportsman. C. Get a signed copy. 18.

His new book The Wonder Brothers, a fun mystery-adventure about the biggest vanishing trick of all time, is out now. HERE Is Real Magic, Nate Staniforth I could talk about this book forever! It’s a memoir by a brilliant magician, Nate Staniforth, who has a belief in being able to do magic out of ordinary things. He has become a little jaded and disillusioned, so he takes himself to India to renew himself by taking his magic on the road. I’m very privileged to have been a writer all my life, but it’s very difficult to stop it just being a job. You can lose touch with the joy of it. This book is about rediscovering the joy in your own talents and finding magic in the ordinary. One Thousand and One Nights I won a copy of this book in a competition at school. It’s kind of the opposite of finding the magic in the ordinary—it’s about extravagance and amazing ness, bragging and lying. But I love it! It’s really about how storytelling can save your life. The narrator is a woman facing a death sentence who is tell ng stories with these cli hangers (悬念) so she won’t be killed. It’s a book of wonders about how you can enchant (使入迷) someone with a story. As children’s writer, you spend a lot of time in schools, telling stories to children who don’t necessarily want to be there, gathering them up in a moment of laughter, excitement or nervousness. One Thousand and One Nights celebrates that you can confront someone who wants to kill you and, because of a cliffhanger they go, “I’ll kill you tomorrow instead”. It’s the greatest celebration of the power of storytelling I can think of. Three Men in a Boat, Jerome K Jerome This is just the funniest book. And it’s kind of about nothing. It’s just three blokes in a boat going down the Thames and not being very good at it. That’s all. It’s just paying attention to the lovely details of ordinary life. It’s so kind, so tender, and it’s funnier than anything else. There are pages and pages of failing to get through a lock gate or getting lost in amaze. You don’t need all these big twists and dramatic events to be funny, you can just be really overconfident that you can find your way out of amaze! 21. Which book is won by its owner as a prize for a competition? A. Millions B. Three Men in a Boat C. One Thousand and One Nights D. Here Is Real Magic 22. If you want to find magic in the ordinary, who should you read? A. Nate Staniforth B. Frank Cottrell-Boyce C. Jerome K Jerome D. Dale Carnegie 23. What is the article intended to do? A. To compare different books. B. To recommend books. C. To comment on books. D. To list best-sellers. 【答案】21. C 22. A 23. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了几本可以改变我们生活的书。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据One Thousand and One Nights部分的“I won a copy of this book in a competition at school.(我在学校的一次比赛中赢得了这本书的副本。)”可知，One Thousand and One Nights这本书是它的主人在竞赛奖品赢得的奖品。故选C。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据HERE Is Real Magic, Nate Staniforth部分的“It’s a memoir by a brilliant magician, Nate Staniforth, who has a belief in being able to do magic out of ordinary things.(这是一本杰出魔术师内特·斯坦福斯的回忆录，他相信自己能在平凡的事物中变出魔法。)”可知，如果你想在平凡中找到魔力，你应该读Nate Staniforth的书。故选A。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章标题“Books that Changed My Life(改变我生活的书)”可知，文章主要打算推荐一些书。故选B。 B Imagine sitting there sipping coffee when suddenly you see someone about to die. What would you do? On Dec. 26, Gelinne, 60, was staring out of his house in Edgewater, Maryland, at frozen Beards Creek when his daughter Aimee spotted the Piper Cherokee. “Look!” she cried. Gelinne looked up just in time to see a small aircraft a few hundred yards away, losing altitude. As the plane disappeared behind the trees, Gelinne, a former Navy commander and current cybersecurity expert realized it was going to land in the creek (小溪). He flashed on a moment from more than 20 years earlier: Sept. 11, 2001. Gelinne was at work in the Pentago in Washington, D.C., when terrorists crashed a jet into the building. He fled the chaos but has always wondered if he could have stayed inside and helped. “To the right was the crisis, and to the left was escape. I don’t even know if I could’ve gone right, but I went left,” he recalled. On this day, Gelinned didn’t hesitate. He ran down to the waterfront. The plane had skidded (打滑) to as top on the broad, frozen creek, far from shore. It was now sinking. The pilot was standing on the wing. Gelinne knew from his Navy training that even a few minutes in the icy water could kill the pilot. He tested the ice with his foot and decided not to risk walking on it. Then he and his son, John J., 37, pulled out two kayaks (橡皮船). The kayaks’ paddles (桨) proved too flimsy, so the pair tried using shovels (铲) to push the boats along. It was exhausting. When Gelinne reached the plane, it had broken through the ice and sunk; only its tail was visible. The pilot was standing on a tail wing, submerged (浸没) up to his chest, surrounded by open water. Gelinne nudged (轻推) his kayak off the ice and into the water, paddling toward the pilot and thinking, “What if he panics? What if I flip (翻)?” With his son nearby, Gelinne focused on keeping the pilot calm, joking, “Just hang on to the boat as if you were hugging your wife.” The pilot grabbed the kayak’s bow. Now the three men were floating together. By now, a police officer had arrived and radioed for help. A boat from the Maryland Department of Natural Resources appeared, breaking through ice as it arrived. It picked up the pilot, Steve Couchman, 71, and sent him to be treated for minor injuries. Later the boat returned to help Gelinne, now exhausted to shore while John Jr. made his own way back. “I’m 60 years old,” Gelinne says. “There was no way I could get him to shore.” Still, he was satisfied he’d gone the right way that day. 24. What does “the Piper Cherokee” in paragraph 1 refer to? A. The pilot. B. The kayak. C. The rescue team. D. The sinking aircraft. 25. What did Gelinne regret about Sept. 11, 2001? A. He escaped from the scene. B. He helped handle the chaos. C. He fought against the terrorists. D. He stayed inside to save the injured. 26. Which of the following best describes Gelinne? A. Honest and ambitious. B. Professional and dedicated. C. Humorous and calm. D. Helpful and selfless. 27. Why Gelinne was satisfied in the last paragraph? A. He dialed 911 immediately. B. He didn’t hesitate to escape from the ice. C. He decided to treat Steve for minor injuries. D. He chose to deal with the crisis bravely. 【答案】24. D 25. A 26. C 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了60岁的Gelinne在家中目睹一架小型飞机坠入冰封的胡须溪后的英勇救援行动。 【24题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词的下文““Look!” she cried. Gelinne looked up just in time to see a small aircraft a few hundred yards away, losing altitude. (“看“！”她叫道。Gelinne抬起头，正好看到几百码外有一架小型飞机正在下降)”可推知，画线部分指的是这艘在下降的飞机。故选D项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“He fled the chaos but has always wondered if he could have stayed inside and helped. “To the right was the crisis, and to the left was escape. I don’t even know if I could’ve gone right, but I went left,” he recalled. (他逃离了混乱，但一直想知道他是否可以留在里面帮忙。“向右就是危机，向左就是逃避。我甚至不知道我能不能向右走，但我还是向左走了，”他回忆说)”可知，Gelinne对2001年9月11日他逃离现场感到后悔。故选A项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“He tested the ice with his foot and decided not to risk walking on it. Then he and his son, John J., 37, pulled out two kayaks (橡皮船). (他用脚试了试冰面，决定不冒险在上面走。然后，他和37岁的儿子John J拉出了两艘皮划艇)”和第五段中“With his son nearby, Gelinne focused on keeping the pilot calm, joking, “Just hang on to the boat as if you were hugging your wife.” (儿子就在旁边，Gelinne专注于让飞行员保持冷静，他开玩笑说：“就像抱着你的妻子一样抓紧船。”)”可知，面对需要救人的紧急情况，Gelinne没有贸然行动，而是先评估了在冰面上行走的危险，而且他会用开玩笑的方式让飞行员保持冷静。由此可知，他是幽默且冷静的。故选C项。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Still, he was satisfied he’d gone the right way that day. (尽管如此，他还是很满意自己那天走的是正确的路)”可知，Gelinne感到满意是因为这一天他选择勇敢地处理危机。故选D项。 C For most of human history, we have been very good observers because we had to be. We used all of our senses—touch, smell, taste, hearing, and sight—to detect and discern. The sudden sounds of animals or the running of birds warned us that someone was approaching. At a distance, by examining posture, way of walking, arms wing, clothing, and equipment, our ancestors could discern friend from foe (敌人). As generations evolved and eventually moved to cities, closeness changed how we viewed and assessed each other. Because everyone was so close, we had less time to observe. Close quarters and circumstances demanded we interact on first meeting rather than later. This was the opposite of what we had done for thousands of years, which was to assess first at a distance and then interact. Closeness also made us more sensitive to being observed, which is why we are uncomfortable when others stare at us. Have we allowed ourselves to become careless when it comes to our own safety and that of our loved ones? I see people distracted while driving (applying makeup or texting). Or someone knocks at the front door and we open it without first seeing who is there and asking what they want. Perhaps, in an attempt to be polite, we have ended our responsibility to ourselves, and each other, to be good observers. We should all look around and listen to our inner voice, which is in fact the limbic (边缘的) brain telling us to be careful that something is wrong, as security special it Gavin de Becker pointed out in The Gift of Fear, So often, after an encounter or a relationship turns problematic, one hears, “You know I had a feeling, in the beginning, that something wasn’t right.” However failure to observe, if we are honest, leads to avoidable circumstances as well as accidents, How we feel about something often completes the picture so that we can fully understand it Anyway, it is never too late to start observing. Observation is not about being judgmental, it is not about good or bad. It is about seeing the world around you, having situational awareness, and interpreting what it is that others are communication both verbally and nonverbally. To observe is to see but also to understand, and that requires listening to how you feel. 28. What does the underlined word “discern” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Disclose. B. Discover. C. Distinguish. D. Disguise. 29. Why did we spend less time observing? A. Observing involves too much and is complicated. B. We felt uneasy when others were staring at us. C. We got more sensitive to others’ observation. D. Closeness required people to communicate on first meeting. 30. Possibly for what have we given up being good observers? A. Being careless. B. Avoiding rudeness. C. Paying no attention. D. Being irresponsible. 31. What is the best title? A. Be good observers B. Discern friend from foe C. Care about our safety D. Start observing now 【答案】28. C 29. D 30. B 31. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了人类历史上作为观察者的角色以及在现代社会中我们是否变得粗心大意，忽略了观察的重要性。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据上文“We used all of our senses—touch, smell, taste, hearing, and sight—to detect and discern.(我们用我们所有的感官——触觉、嗅觉、味觉、听觉和视觉——来探测和辨别。)”可知，我们的祖先通过观察动物的姿势、走路方式、手臂的摆动、穿着和装备等，可以区分敌人和朋友。因此，这里的“discern”指的是“区分、辨别”的意思，与选项C“distinguish”意思相符。故选C。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“As generations evolved and eventually moved to cities, closeness changed how we viewed and assessed each other. Because everyone was so close, we had less time to observe. Close quarters and circumstances demanded we interact on first meeting rather than later.(随着世代的演变，人们最终迁移到城市，人与人之间的亲近改变了我们看待和评估彼此的方式。因为每个人都靠得很近，所以我们没有那么多时间去观察。狭小的空间和环境要求我们第一次见面就进行互动，而不是等到以后。)”可知，我们花费更少的时间观察是因为距离上的拉近要求我们第一次见面就进行交流。故选D。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Perhaps, in an attempt to be polite, we have ended our responsibility to ourselves, and each other, to be good observers.(也许，为了表示礼貌，我们放弃了对自己和他人作为优秀观察者的责任。)”可知，我们放弃成为好的观察者可能是为了避免粗鲁。故选B。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要讨论了人类历史上作为观察者的角色以及在现代社会中我们是否变得粗心大意，忽略了观察的重要性。文章最后也强调了观察的重要性，提醒我们要成为好的观察者。因此，最好的标题是“Be good observers”（成为好的观察者）。故选A。 D How many different emotions, really, can run through a person’s mind? Some scientists have argued that there are six distinct types, give or take — anger, fear, sadness, disgust, surprise, and happiness. But based on Americans’ descriptions of their own experiences in a recent study, there may actually be many more. Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley enlisted online participants to indicate their emotional responses to a stock of more than 2,000 video clips and GIFs featuring baby animals, an awkward high-five, a starry sky, graphic violence and nudity, and many other flavors of imagery discovered from the depths of the internet. Based on statistical analyses, the team concluded that a series of 27 separate categories of emotion best accounted for viewers’ announced experiences — ranging from “empathic pain” (imagine watching a Jackass stunt) to “adoration” (common when viewing puppies) to straightforward “excitement.” Meanwhile, certain emotions, such as awkwardness and amusement, were often caused by the same video. “There doesn’t seem to be a clear boundary between categories,” says Alan Cowen, who co-authored the report with Dacher Keltner. The researchers also produced an interactive visualization based on the emotional responses to each clip. The closeness of emotion labels to one another loosely indicates how frequently the emotions tended to arise at the same time. The map is not final: It leaves out emotions like envy and shame, which might require more personal forms of elicitation (引出), and its categories could vary across cultures. But it does illustrate the richness of our emotional landscape, and that in itself is pretty exciting. 32. What is mainly discussed in paragraph 2? A. Research purposes. B. Research process. C Research methods. D. Research results. 33. Which of the following is NOT one of the research findings? A. A total of 27 separate categories of emotion are identified. B. It requires more personal forms to cause envy and shame. C. The boundary between categories of emotion seems vague. D. Awkwardness and amusement can arise by watching the same video. 34. What is true about the interactive visualization map? A. The map is to be continued. B. Emotion labels are close to each other. C. Our emotional landscape is not rich enough. D. Many emotions tend to occur at the same time. 35. What method is mainly used in the research? A. Making comparisons. B. Making assumptions. C. Doing questionnaires. D. Analyzing data. 【答案】32. B 33. B 34. A 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章指出传统上认为有六种基本情绪，但加州大学伯克利分校的研究发现可能存在更多。研究发现这些情绪之间界限不明确，某些情绪可能由同一刺激引起。研究还创建了一个交互式可视化地图，尽管该地图未包含所有情绪且可能受文化影响，但它揭示了情感的丰富性。 【32题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley enlisted online participants to indicate their emotional responses to a stock of more than 2,000 video clips and GIFs featuring baby animals, an awkward high-five, a starry sky, graphic violence and nudity, and many other flavors of imagery discovered from the depths of the internet. (加州大学伯克利分校的研究人员在网上征集了参与者，让他们对2000多个视频片段和动图做出情绪反应，这些视频片段和动图包括小动物、尴尬的击掌、星空、暴力和裸体，以及从互联网深处发现的许多其他类型的图像)”可知，本段主要介绍了研究人员的研究过程。故选B项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Based on statistical analyses, the team concluded that a series of 27 separate categories of emotion best accounted for viewers’ announced experiences—ranging from “empathic pain” (imagine watching a Jackass stunt) to “adoration” (common when viewing puppies) to straightforward “excitement.” (基于统计分析，研究小组得出结论，一系列27种独立的情感类别最能解释观众所宣称的体验——从“共情的痛苦”(想象一下观看一个傻瓜特技)到“崇拜”(观看小狗时很常见)，再到直接的“兴奋”)”、“Meanwhile, certain emotions, such as awkwardness and amusement, were often caused by the same video. (与此同时，某些情绪，如尴尬和好笑，往往是由同一段视频引起的)”和“There doesn’t seem to be a clear boundary between categories (类别之间似乎没有明确的界限)”可知，研究结果包括：共识别出27种不同的情绪，情感类别之间的界限似乎很模糊，尴尬和娱乐会由观看同一段视频引起的；由最后一段“The map is not final: It leaves out emotions like envy and shame, which might require more personal forms of elicitation (引出), and its categories could vary across cultures.(这张地图不是最终的：它没有包括嫉妒和羞耻等情绪，这些情绪可能需要更个性化的激发方式，而且它的类别可能因文化而异。)”可知，研究并未发现需要更个人化的形式来引发的如羡慕和羞愧的情绪。故选B项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The map is not final: It leaves out emotions like envy and shame, which might require more personal forms of elicitation (引出), and its categories could vary across cultures. (这张地图不是最终的：它没有包括嫉妒和羞耻等情绪，这些情绪可能需要更个性化的激发方式，而且它的类别可能因文化而异)”可知，这张可视化地图尚未完成，有待继续。故选A项。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Based on statistical analyses, the team concluded that a series of 27 separate categories of emotion best accounted for viewers’ announced experiences (基于统计分析，研究小组得出结论，一系列27种独立的情感类别最能解释观众所宣称的体验)”可知，该研究主要使用数据分析。故选D项。 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下列短文，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。 Throughout the cultures of the world, wisdom has been considered one of the most admirable human qualities. Although the truly wise may seem few and far between, research suggest that it isn’t an exceptional quality possessed by a small handful of bearded philosophers a feral. ____36____ “It appears that experiential, situational, and cultural factors are even more powerful in shaping wisdom than previously imagined,” says Associate Professor Igor Grossmann of the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada. “Recent findings suggest that people’s ability to reason wisely varies dramatically a across situational contexts. ____37____ Understanding the role of such contextual factors offers unique insights into understanding wisdom in daily life, as well as how it can be enhanced and taught.” ____38____ Grossmann and his colleagues, however, have identified four key characteristics, as part of a framework of wise reasoning. One is intellectual humility or recognition of the limits of our own knowledge, and another is appreciation of perspectives wilder than the issue at hand. Sensitivity to the possibility of change in social relations is also key, along with compromise or integration of different attitudes and beliefs. Grossmann and his colleagues have also found that one of most reliable ways to support wisdom in our own day-to-day decisions is to look at situations from a third-part perspective ____39____ Research suggests that when adopting a first-person viewpoint we focus on “the focal features of the environment” and when we adopt a third-person, “observer” viewpoint we reason more broadly and focus more on interpersonal and moral ideals such as justice and impartiality. ____40____ A. as if giving advice to a friend. B. for instance, negotiating a contract with a customer. C. Coming up with a definition of wisdom is challenging. D. Some situations are more likely to promote wisdom than others. E. Actually, the latest studies suggest most of us have the ability to make wise decisions, given the right context. F. In other words, wisdom is not solely an “inner quality” but rather unfolds as a function of situations people happen to be in. G. Looking at problems from this more expansive viewpoints appears to cultivate cognitive processes related to wise decisions. 【答案】36. E 37. F 38. C 39. A 40. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了研究表明，智慧并不是少数特殊人物所独有的品质，大多数人都有潜力展现出智慧。经验、情境和文化因素对智慧的形成起着重要作用，智慧是一种随着环境变化而展现的品质。 【36题详解】 前文“Although the truly wise may seem few and far between, research suggest that it isn’t an exceptional quality possessed by a small handful of bearded philosophers a feral. (虽然真正有智慧的人似乎少之又少，但研究表明，这并不是少数大胡子哲学家或野人所拥有的特殊品质)”指出智慧并非少数人拥有的特殊品质，因此E项“Actually, the latest studies suggest most of us have the ability to make wise decisions, given the right context. (事实上，最新的研究表明，在适当的环境下，我们大多数人都有能力做出明智的决定)”符合语境，指出大多数人都能做出明智的决定，承接前文。故选E。 【37题详解】 前文“Recent findings suggest that people’s ability to reason wisely varies dramatically a across situational contexts. (最近的研究结果表明，人们的理性推理能力在不同的情境下变化很大)”指出理性推理能力会随情境变化，因此F项“In other words, wisdom is not solely an “inner quality” but rather unfolds as a function of situations people happen to be in. (换句话说，智慧不仅仅是一种“内在品质”，而是随着人们所处环境的变化而展现出来的)”符合语境，解释智慧会随着人们所处环境的变化而展现出来，承接前文。故选F。 【38题详解】 后文“Grossmann and his colleagues, however, have identified four key characteristics, as part of a framework of wise reasoning. (然而，Grossmann和他的同事们已经确定了四个关键特征，作为明智推理框架的一部分)”和前文有转折，提到研究人员确定了明智推理框架中的四个关键特征，因此C项“Coming up with a definition of wisdom is challenging. (给智慧下一个定义是很有挑战性的)”符合语境，指出很难给智慧下定义，和后文构成转折。故选C。 【39题详解】 前文“Grossmann and his colleagues have also found that one of most reliable ways to support wisdom in our own day-to-day decisions is to look at situations from a third-part perspective (Grossmann和他的同事们还发现，在我们自己的日常决策中，支持智慧的最可靠方法之一是从第三方的角度来看待情况)”指出从第三方的角度来看待情况有助于做出明智决定，因此A项“as if giving advice to a friend. (就像给朋友提建议一样)”符合语境，是方式状语，指出这就像给朋友提建议一样，承接前文。故选A。 【40题详解】 前文“Research suggests that when adopting a first-person viewpoint we focus on “the focal features of the environment” and when we adopt a third-person, “observer” viewpoint we reason more broadly and focus more on interpersonal and moral ideals such as justice and impartiality. (研究表明，当我们采用第一人称视角时，我们会关注“环境的焦点特征”，而当我们采用第三人称“观察者”视角时，我们的推理范围更广，更关注人际关系和道德理想，如正义和公正)”介绍采用第三人称“观察者”视角带来更广的推理范围，因此G项“Looking at problems from this more expansive viewpoints appears to cultivate cognitive processes related to wise decisions. (从更广阔的角度看待问题似乎可以培养与明智决策相关的认知过程)”符合语境，指出更广的推理范围带来的好处，承接前文。故选G。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（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。 Recently Mom Elisa received a call from school about her 14-year-old son’s behavior in the lunchroom.

On it was a five-day art camp at White Cliff this summer. Mandy took the paper and glanced at it. She stopped when her eyes caught the date. “It’s during the last week of July,” she said. “That’s the same time as the Hill County Fair.” I had a feelings she’d mention that. “Yeah, that’s true,” I said. “But we always go to the fair.” Mandy handed the paper back to me as she stood up to look at the shelf of new books. “Tessa, you’re the artist.” She smiled. “But my paintings are so terrible.” “You may not think you can draw, but you can learn,” I said in my most encouraging voice. I really didn’t want to go alone. Mandy could make friends with a whole busload of kids in 10 minutes, but my stomach twirls (旋转) like a roller coaster when I don’t know anyone around me. Later, I called my friends Emily and Yoshiko. Yoshiko was going to the fair, and Emily would be out of town in July. I sighed and dropped my head down on the red paper. “What’s that?” Mom picked up the paper and asked. “A flyer for an art camp.” I explained. “Would you like to attend it?” Mom asked. “Probably not,” I said. “None of my friends are going.” Mom patted my back and put the paper down. She knew I had a hard time jumping into something with no familiar faces around. During the flowing days, I always thought about the art camp and wished I felt a little braver. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Sensing my struggle, Mom encouraged me to give it a try. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The decision to attend the art camp proved worthwhile. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Sensing my struggle, Mom encouraged me to give it a try. Looking into her earnest eyes, I knew I had to think twice before making the final decision. That night, I tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. What if I gave up the gold chance? What if I failed to get along well with the new fellows? Finally, the burning desire to attend the camp beat the fear of facing the unknown. Taking a deep breath, I filled in the application for the camp. The decision to attend the art camp proved worthwhile. There were so many amazing activities that time just flied before I knew it. Not only did it open a new window of painting for me but also I overcame the shyness I’d always felt before when I met strangers. I became confident and easygoing, willing to express myself and make friends with other kids. I knew that if I wanted to grow better, I had to reach out beyond my comfort zone. 【解析】 【导语】本文以时间为线索展开，讲述了作者在图书馆发现了一张艺术夏令营的传单，与朋友Mandy讨论这个夏令营，但Mandy提到夏令营的时间与集市冲突，而且自己不擅长绘画。作者试图鼓励Mandy一起去夏令营，因为她不想独自一人。作者随后联系了朋友Emily和Yoshiko，得知她们也无法参加夏令营，她感到失望。因为她的朋友们都不去，作者产生了放弃参加的念头。她的母亲理解她的担忧，并给予她安慰。接下来，作者仍常想起艺术夏令营，希望自己能够勇敢地独自参加。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“觉察到我的挣扎，母亲鼓励我试一试”可知，第一段可描写作者的心理活动，内心挣扎到底要不要去参加艺术夏令营，以及最后决定勇敢地参加。 ②由第二段首句内容“参加艺术夏令营的决定证明是值得的”可知，第二段可描写作者在夏令营中体会到丰富的活动，以及在艺术上的收获和个性上的成长。 2. 续写线索：母亲鼓励尝试——内心活动——决定参加——决定证明是值得的——丰富的活动——收获与成长 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①放弃：give up/quit/abandon ②打败：beat/defeat ③战胜：overcome/conquer/surmount ④遇到：meet/come across ⑤表达：express/convey 情绪类 ①诚挚的：earnest/sincere ②恐惧：fear/fright/horror 【点睛】[高分句型1] There were so many amazing activities that time just flied before I knew it.

He has become a little jaded and disillusioned, so he takes himself to India to renew himself by taking his magic on the road. I’m very privileged to have been a writer all my life, but it’s very difficult to stop it just being a job. You can lose touch with the joy of it. This book is about rediscovering the joy in your own talents and finding magic in the ordinary. One Thousand and One Nights I won a copy of this book in a competition at school. It’s kind of the opposite of finding the magic in the ordinary—it’s about extravagance and amazing ness, bragging and lying. But I love it! It’s really about how storytelling can save your life. The narrator is a woman facing a death sentence who is tell ng stories with these cli hangers (悬念) so she won’t be killed. It’s a book of wonders about how you can enchant (使入迷) someone with a story. As children’s writer, you spend a lot of time in schools, telling stories to children who don’t necessarily want to be there, gathering them up in a moment of laughter, excitement or nervousness. One Thousand and One Nights celebrates that you can confront someone who wants to kill you and, because of a cliffhanger they go, “I’ll kill you tomorrow instead”. It’s the greatest celebration of the power of storytelling I can think of. Three Men in a Boat, Jerome K Jerome This is just the funniest book. And it’s kind of about nothing. It’s just three blokes in a boat going down the Thames and not being very good at it. That’s all. It’s just paying attention to the lovely details of ordinary life. It’s so kind, so tender, and it’s funnier than anything else. There are pages and pages of failing to get through a lock gate or getting lost in amaze. You don’t need all these big twists and dramatic events to be funny, you can just be really overconfident that you can find your way out of amaze! 21. Which book is won by its owner as a prize for a competition? A. Millions B. Three Men in a Boat C. One Thousand and One Nights D. Here Is Real Magic 22. If you want to find magic in the ordinary, who should you read? A. Nate Staniforth B. Frank Cottrell-Boyce C. Jerome K Jerome D. Dale Carnegie 23. What is the article intended to do? A. To compare different books. B. To recommend books. C. To comment on books. D. To list best-sellers. B Imagine sitting there sipping coffee when suddenly you see someone about to die. What would you do? On Dec. 26, Gelinne, 60, was staring out of his house in Edgewater, Maryland, at frozen Beards Creek when his daughter Aimee spotted the Piper Cherokee. “Look!” she cried. Gelinne looked up just in time to see a small aircraft a few hundred yards away, losing altitude. As the plane disappeared behind the trees, Gelinne, a former Navy commander and current cybersecurity expert realized it was going to land in the creek (小溪). He flashed on a moment from more than 20 years earlier: Sept. 11, 2001. Gelinne was at work in the Pentago in Washington, D.C., when terrorists crashed a jet into the building. He fled the chaos but has always wondered if he could have stayed inside and helped. “To the right was the crisis, and to the left was escape. I don’t even know if I could’ve gone right, but I went left,” he recalled. On this day, Gelinned didn’t hesitate. He ran down to the waterfront. The plane had skidded (打滑) to as top on the broad, frozen creek, far from shore. It was now sinking. The pilot was standing on the wing. Gelinne knew from his Navy training that even a few minutes in the icy water could kill the pilot. He tested the ice with his foot and decided not to risk walking on it. Then he and his son, John J., 37, pulled out two kayaks (橡皮船). The kayaks’ paddles (桨) proved too flimsy, so the pair tried using shovels (铲) to push the boats along. It was exhausting. When Gelinne reached the plane, it had broken through the ice and sunk; only its tail was visible. The pilot was standing on a tail wing, submerged (浸没) up to his chest, surrounded by open water. Gelinne nudged (轻推) his kayak off the ice and into the water, paddling toward the pilot and thinking, “What if he panics? What if I flip (翻)?” With his son nearby Gelinne focused on keeping the pilot calm, joking, “Just hang on to the boat as if you were hugging your wife.” The pilot grabbed the kayak’s bow. Now the three men were floating together. By now, a police officer had arrived and radioed for help. A boat from the Maryland Department of Natural Resources appeared, breaking through ice as it arrived. It picked up the pilot, Steve Couchman, 71, and sent him to be treated for minor injuries. Later the boat returned to help Gelinne, now exhausted to shore while John Jr. made his own way back. “I’m 60 years old,” Gelinne says. “There was no way I could get him to shore.” Still, he was satisfied he’d gone the right way that day. 24. What does “the Piper Cherokee” in paragraph 1 refer to? A. The pilot. B. The kayak. C. The rescue team. D. The sinking aircraft. 25. What did Gelinne regret about Sept. 11, 2001? A. He escaped from the scene. B. He helped handle the chaos. C. He fought against the terrorists. D. He stayed inside to save the injured. 26. Which of the following best describes Gelinne? A. Honest and ambitious. B. Professional and dedicated. C. Humorous and calm. D. Helpful and selfless. 27. Why Gelinne was satisfied in the last paragraph? A. He dialed 911 immediately. B. He didn’t hesitate to escape from the ice. C. He decided to treat Steve for minor injuries. D. He chose to deal with the crisis bravely. C For most of human history, we have been very good observers because we had to be. We used all of our senses—touch, smell, taste, hearing, and sight—to detect and discern. The sudden sounds of animals or the running of birds warned us that someone was approaching. At a distance, by examining posture, way of walking, arms wing, clothing, and equipment, our ancestors could discern friend from foe (敌人). As generations evolved and eventually moved to cities, closeness changed how we viewed and assessed each other. Because everyone was so close, we had less time to observe. Close quarters and circumstances demanded we interact on first meeting rather than later. This was the opposite of what we had done for thousands of years, which was to assess first at a distance and then interact. Closeness also made us more sensitive to being observed, which is why we are uncomfortable when others stare at us. Have we allowed ourselves to become careless when it comes to our own safety and that of our loved ones? I see people distracted while driving (applying makeup or texting). Or someone knocks at the front door and we open it without first seeing who is there and asking what they want. Perhaps, in an attempt to be polite, we have ended our responsibility to ourselves, and each other, to be good observers. We should all look around and listen to our inner voice, which is in fact the limbic (边缘的) brain telling us to be careful that something is wrong, as security special it Gavin de Becker pointed out in The Gift of Fear, So often, after an encounter or a relationship turns problematic, one hears, “You know I had a feeling, in the beginning, that something wasn’t right.” However failure to observe, if we are honest, leads to avoidable circumstances as well as accidents, How we feel about something often completes the picture so that we can fully understand it Anyway, it is never too late to start observing. Observation is not about being judgmental, it is not about good or bad. It is about seeing the world around you, having situational awareness, and interpreting what it is that others are communication both verbally and nonverbally. To observe is to see but also to understand, and that requires listening to how you feel. 28. What does the underlined word “discern” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Disclose. B. Discover. C. Distinguish. D. Disguise. 29. Why did we spend less time observing? A. Observing involves too much and is complicated. B. We felt uneasy when others were staring at us. C. We got more sensitive to others’ observation. D. Closeness required people to communicate on first meeting. 30. Possibly for what have we given up being good observers? A. Being careless. B. Avoiding rudeness. C. Paying no attention. D. Being irresponsible. 31. What is the best title? A. Be good observers B. Discern friend from foe C. Care about our safety D. Start observing now D How many different emotions, really, can run through a person’s mind? Some scientists have argued that there are six distinct types, give or take — anger, fear, sadness, disgust, surprise, and happiness. But based on Americans’ descriptions of their own experiences in a recent study, there may actually be many more. Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley enlisted online participants to indicate their emotional responses to a stock of more than 2,000 video clips and GIFs featuring baby animals, an awkward high-five, a starry sky, graphic violence and nudity, and many other flavors of imagery discovered from the depths of the internet. Based on statistical analyses, the team concluded that a series of 27 separate categories of emotion best accounted for viewers’ announced experiences — ranging from “empathic pain” (imagine watching a Jackass stunt) to “adoration” (common when viewing puppies) to straightforward “excitement.” Meanwhile, certain emotions, such as awkwardness and amusement, were often caused by the same video. “There doesn’t seem to be a clear boundary between categories,” says Alan Cowen, who co-authored the report with Dacher Keltner. The researchers also produced an interactive visualization based on the emotional responses to each clip. The closeness of emotion labels to one another loosely indicates how frequently the emotions tended to arise at the same time. The map is not final: It leaves out emotions like envy and shame, which might require more personal forms of elicitation (引出), and its categories could vary across cultures. But it does illustrate the richness of our emotional landscape, and that in itself is pretty exciting. 32. What is mainly discussed in paragraph 2? A. Research purposes. B. Research process. C. Research methods. D. Research results. 33. Which of the following is NOT one of the research findings? A. A total of 27 separate categories of emotion are identified. B. It requires more personal forms to cause envy and shame. C. The boundary between categories of emotion seems vague. D. Awkwardness and amusement can arise by watching the same video. 34. What is true about the interactive visualization map? A. The map is to be continued. B. Emotion labels are close to each other. C. Our emotional landscape is not rich enough. D. Many emotions tend to occur at the same time. 35. What method is mainly used in the research? A. Making comparisons. B. Making assumptions. C. Doing questionnaires. D. Analyzing data. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下列短文，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。 Throughout the cultures of the world, wisdom has been considered one of the most admirable human qualities. Although the truly wise may seem few and far between, research suggest that it isn’t an exceptional quality possessed by a small handful of bearded philosophers a feral. ____36____ “It appears that experiential, situational, and cultural factors are even more powerful in shaping wisdom than previously imagined,” says Associate Professor Igor Grossmann of the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada. “Recent findings suggest that people’s ability to reason wisely varies dramatically a across situational contexts. ____37____ Understanding the role of such contextual factors offers unique insights into understanding wisdom in daily life, as well as how it can be enhanced and taught.” ____38____ Grossmann and his colleagues, however, have identified four key characteristics, as part of a framework of wise reasoning. One is intellectual humility or recognition of the limits of our own knowledge, and another is appreciation of perspectives wilder than the issue at hand. Sensitivity to the possibility of change in social relations is also key, along with compromise or integration of different attitudes and beliefs. Grossmann and his colleagues have also found that one of most reliable ways to support wisdom in our own day-to-day decisions is to look at situations from a third-part perspective ____39____ Research suggests that when adopting a first-person viewpoint we focus on “the focal features of the environment” and when we adopt a third-person, “observer” viewpoint we reason more broadly and focus more on interpersonal and moral ideals such as justice and impartiality. ____40____ A. as if giving advice to a friend. B. for instance, negotiating a contract with a customer. C. Coming up with a definition of wisdom is challenging. D. Some situations are more likely to promote wisdom than others. E. Actually, the latest studies suggest most of us have the ability to make wise decisions, given the right context. F. In other words, wisdom is not solely an “inner quality” but rather unfolds as a function of situations people happen to be in. G. Looking at problems from this more expansive viewpoints appears to cultivate cognitive processes related to wise decisions. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（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。 Recently Mom Elisa received a call from school about her 14-year-old son’s behavior in the lunchroom.

On it was a five-day art camp at White Cliff this summer. Mandy took the paper and glanced at it. She stopped when her eyes caught the date. “It’s during the last week of July,” she said. “That’s the same time as the Hill County Fair.” I had a feelings she’d mention that. “Yeah, that’s true,” I said. “But we always go to the fair.” Mandy handed the paper back to me as she stood up to look at the shelf of new books. “Tessa, you’re the artist.” She smiled. “But my paintings are so terrible.” “You may not think you can draw, but you can learn,” I said in my most encouraging voice. I really didn’t want to go alone. Mandy could make friends with a whole busload of kids in 10 minutes, but my stomach twirls (旋转) like a roller coaster when I don’t know anyone around me. Later, I called my friends Emily and Yoshiko. Yoshiko was going to the fair, and Emily would be out of town in July. I sighed and dropped my head down on the red paper. “What’s that?” Mom picked up the paper and asked. “A flyer for an art camp.” I explained. “Would you like to attend it?” Mom asked. “Probably not,” I said. “None of my friends are going.” Mom patted my back and put the paper down. She knew I had a hard time jumping into something with no familiar faces around. During the flowing days, I always thought about the art camp and wished I felt a little braver. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Sensing my struggle, Mom encouraged me to give it a try. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The decision to attend the art camp proved worthwhile. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$听力考试现在开始，该部分分为第一第二两节。注意回答听力部分时，请先将答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将你的答案转涂到客观题答题卡上。请看听力部分第一节，第一节听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题，每段对话仅读一遍。例如现在你有5秒钟的时间看试卷上的例题。你将听到以下内容。excuse me, can you tell me how much the shirt is?
