Winter is for working hard; summer is for playing hard. From the Bahamas to Amsterdam, we have several most appealing summer vacation spots for you to choose from.
The Bahamas
While there is a risk of getting rained on during hurricane season, June generally sees mild weather, fewer crowds and significantly lower prices. While some resorts in the Out Islands may close, New Providence and Paradise Island remain open year-round. It’s a good choice for families looking for a taste of relaxing island living.
Mackinac Island, MI
Mackinac Island, 20 minutes by boat from either the Upper or Lower Peninsula of Michigan, comes alive on summer weekends. Most of its roughly 4 square miles is parkland, suitable for hiking and cycling. Be sure to take in the beautiful architecture—Victorian cottages that date back to just after the Civil War. You can have a taste of times gone by; cars were banned more than a hundred years ago, and horse-drawn carriages are still used to get around today.
Amsterdam
Summer is the ideal time to visit this city. The gray skies have lifted, festivals abound and events to enjoy include the Open Garden Days, when visitors can peek into the private gardens behind the beautiful houses that line the famous canals. You can experience urban adventure, crossing Amsterdam’s thousands of bridges and waterways by bike and by boat in search of the perfect brown café.
Ocean City, MD
This East Coast beach town is best known for its boardwalk, which is known for old-school amusement rides. Cycling in the town is also a great pleasure. Grab your wallets and feast on hard-shelled crabs at Hooper’s crab house or drink in the sunset with a local beer in hand from Fager’s Island Restaurant & Bar’s large bayfront decks Parking is free with your consuming receipt. You can’t miss a classic walk along the boardwalk and the taste of Thrasher’s vinegar and Old Bay French fries
21.Where could you go if you want to enjoy a bit of history?
A.The Bahamas B.Mackinac Island. C.Amsterdam. D.Ocean City.

When does spring begin? For some, it’s the second Sunday in March, when we turn our clocks forward by an hour in the United States. For others, it’s when they first realize they’ve finished dinner and it’s still light out. This year, impatient as ever for winter to end, I decided to skip my usual routine of calendar watching and see if I couldn’t do something to speed up spring’s arrival.
It’s only a three-hour flight from La Guardia (rainy, cold), New York to West Palm Beach (sunny, 81 degrees, slight breeze), Florida and from there an hour’s drive to Clover Park in Port St. Lucie, the spring training home of the New York Mets, where the traffic of more than 7,000 fans descended. Here in Port St. Lucie on a Tuesday afternoon, weeks before the season’s official start, cheery fans were dressed in lightweight clothing, drinking Modelo Especial and snacking on peanuts, heckling (起哄) the players. Here, spring was already happening.
Being outdoors in the sunshine and fresh air, things do feel slower and easier. I love that baseball has long been considered America’s national pastime. A pastime is something that makes the passing of time pleasant. Isn’t that what we’re dying for in the winter months? Something that makes time not just tolerable but enjoyable?
By the time I left Florida, it was pouring rain and even a little chilly. How was I supposed to take springtime home with me, I wondered fiercely. It was still raining in New York when I landed. Spring isn’t just weather, of course, and it certainly makes no promises about rain. I'm trying to resist cliché (陈词滥调), to keep from saying something similar to “spring is a state of mind,” even though I wish it were.
I went looking for spring and I found it where spring breakers find it every year, already in full swing in the Sunshine State. My own official removal of woolen coats will occur on Tuesday, when spring finally arrives. But having experienced 24 hours of spring’s full pageant (盛会), my own little preseason, I feel slightly pacified. Perhaps I can be patient as spring establishes itself, and offer the season a little grace as it clicks into place.
24.What is presented in Paragraph 1?
A.Spring falls on a fixed date.
B.Spring came late this year.
C.The author was longing for spring restlessly.
D.The author was celebrating the end of winter.
25.How did the author find Port St. Lucie?
A.A fast-paced world. B.Full of a joyful atmosphere.
C.The birthplace of baseball. D.Home to delicious food.
26.What does the underlined word “pacified” in the last paragraph mean?
A.Puzzled. B.Disappointed. C.Curious. D.Calm.
27.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.In Search of Spring B.In Praise of Spring
C.A Trip to Florida D.A Farewell to New York
C
When Spanish meets English, new dialects emerge, giving us real-time insight into language evolution, linguists say.
For instance, “Vamos de punches punches punches”, Yamilet Munoz texted her friends in Austin, Texas. It means “let’s go and party”, but it’s not a phrase you’ll find in any dictionary. It’s a remix of Spanish and English words seasoned with an in-joke about punching the air as you dance.
“Our language has always been a very big indicator of our cultural pride,” says Munoz, whose parents migrated from Mexico to San Antonio, Texas, in the 1990s. Around 66% of the city's population identify as Hispanic or Latino/Latina. For Munoz and her friends there is pride in speaking Spanish, but also in mixing the languages into the hybrid known as Spanglish.
The evolution of Spanglish has been documented for decades, with each generation adding its unique twist. Now a growing body of research, as well as the experiences of bilingual(双语的) speakers like Munoz, shows just how deeply English and Spanish are influencing each other in the United States, resulting in hybrid dialects like Spanglish, but also, transforming the underlying languages.
For the past decade, Carter and his colleagues have studied language change in Miami, a city where some 72% identify as Latino or Hispanic and which is strongly shaped by historical migration from Cuba. Their research documents the emergence of a distinct “Miami English” dialect as a result of that Spanish-language heritage.
The Spanish influence has also shown up in ways people may not immediately notice, such as sounds like the “oo” in “boot” being pronounced in a more Spanish-style way in Miami, more like the Spanish “u” vowel, according to separate research by Carter, Lydda Lopez Valdez at the University of Miami and Nandi Sims at Ohio State University.
“This is the work of language change, this is the work of dialect formation, this is how it happens. It happens in things that are really noticeable, like the phrase ‘get down from the car’, but it also happens in really slight ways,” he says.
28.Why is an example introduced in Paragraph 2?
A.To illustrate the language innovation.
B.To explain the advantage of Spanish.
C.To highlight the mix of Spanish and English.
D.To prove the enrichment of English vocabulary.
29.What can be inferred from Munoz and her friends?
A.Spanish and English are interrelating.
B.Mixing two languages is complicated.
C.Languages dominate cultural development.
D.Bilingualists tend to observe their own culture.
30.What does Carter intend to convey?
A.Dialects evolve flexibly and frequently.
B.Spanish possesses more sounds than English.
C.Phrases are changing more slowly than before.
D.Language change is progressive and dynamic.
31.Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A.How Researchers are Studying Languages.
B.How Modem English is Changing Globally.
C.How a Generation is Reinventing Spanglish.
D.How Spanglish is Influencing American Culture
D
Medicine is not exclusively a human invention. Many other animals, from insects to birds to nonhuman primates, have been known to self-medicate with plants and minerals for infections and other conditions.
Behavioral ecologist Helen Morrogh-Bernard of the Borneo Nature Foundation has spent decades studying the island’s orangutans (猩猩) and says she has now found evidence they use plants in a previously unseen medicinal way.
During more than 20, 000 hours of formal observation, Morrogh-Bernard and her colleagues watched 10 orangutans occasionally chew a particular plant (which is not part of their normal diet) into a foamy lather (泡沫) and then rub it into their fur. The apes spent up to 45 minutes at a time massaging the mixture onto their upper arms or legs. The researchers believe this behavior is the first known example of a nonhuman animal using a topical painkiller.
Local people use the same plant Dracaena cantleyi, an unremarkable-looking plant with stalked leaves-to treat aches and pains. Morrogh-Bernard’s co-authors studied its chemistry. They added extracts (提出物) from the plant to human cells that had been grown in a dish and had been artificially stimulated to produce cytokines, an immune system response that causes inflammation (炎症) and discomfort. The plant extract reduced the production of several types of cytokines, the scientists reported the finding in a study published last November in Scientific Reports.
The results suggest that orangutans use the plant to reduce inflammation and treat pam. Such findings could help identify plants and chemicals that might be useful for human medications.
In creatures such as insects, the ability to self-medicate is almost certainly innate: woolly bear caterpillars infected with flies seek out and eat plant substances that are poisonous to the flies. But more complex animals may learn such tricks after an initial discovery by one member of their group.
For example, an orangutan may have rubbed the plant on its skin to try to treat parasites and realized that it also had a pleasant pain-killing effect. That behavior may then have been passed on to other orangutans. Because this type of-self-medication is seen only in south-central Borneo, Morrogh-Bernard says, it was probably learned locally.
32.What do we know about Dracaena cantleyi?
A.It can serve as a pain killer. B.It is orangutans normal diet.
C.It is a plant with a foamy lather. D.L can function as building materials.
33.How did Morrogh-Bernard’s team prove the plant’s healing properties?
A.By studying the plant’s chemistry. B.By observing apes eating the plant.
C.By extracting cytokines from the plant. D.By watching local people using the plant.
34.What is the significance of the findings?
A.Botanists can better understand plants.
B.Scientists can find a new way to study apes.
C.Doctors may have the power to cure more diseases.
D.Drug companies may find new materials for medicine.
35.What can we learn according to the passage?
A.Medicine is a human unique invention. B.Plant extracts are the best to treat-pain.
C.Humans and animals have a lot in common. D.Insects have the natural ability to self medication.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
While most of us work hard to shine at the presentations and speeches we can prepare for, we may find impromptu (即兴的) communication scary. Actually, you just need to learn specific skills to communicate effectively when put on the spot. Here are a few pointers.
36 What do you want your audience to know? How do you want them to feel, and what do you want them to do? Having a clear objective paired with an awareness of your audience will narrow your focus. Then you can prioritize what to say and choose your exact words more wisely.
Organize Your Thoughts. When making formal presentations, most people give a logical structure that audiences can easily follow. But few of us adequately organize thoughts in impromptu situations. 37 In fact, the best speakers maintain audience interest by demonstrating connections among specific points, ideas, for example.
Listen as well as you talk. 38 You should do the opposite: focus on listening so that you can better understand the in-the-moment needs and interests of your conversation partners and respond more effectively. Paraphrasing or asking open-ended follow-up questions can help confirm your understanding and provide extra time to think about your response.
Dare to be dull. Don’t feel you need to give a standout performance. One popular saying applies here, “ 39 ” Listeners are more likely to trust and approve of you when you speak like a human being rather than an actor or a robot. Research shows that the most effective speech includes moderate use of fillers such as “um” and “uh”.
The real problem in impromptu communication isn’t an inability to communicate. 40 Fortunately, a measure of experimentation thought, and practice of the skills can make impromptu speaking opportunities your time to shine.
A.Identify a communication goal.
B.He knows most who speaks least.
C.Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
D.It’s being so nervous that we struggle with the talks.
E.We may assume that it’s impossible to do so on the fly.
F.A clear structure enhances comprehension and engagement.
G.Most people obsess over what to say during impromptu encounters.

I grew up with my identical twin. One thing about being a 41 is that it makes you an expert in spotting favoritism (偏爱). If his cookie was slightly bigger than mine, I was 42 although I wasn’t hungry.
When I became a psychologist, I began to 43 how much more we 44 the body than we do the mind. I spent nine years earning my doctorate (博士学位) in psychology, and I can’t tell you how many people look at my business card and say, “Oh — a psychologist. So, not a 45 doctor.” This favoritism we show the body over the mind can be seen everywhere.
I was at my friends’ house, and their five-year-old was standing on a stool (凳子), brushing his teeth. His skin on his leg was 46 when he fell from the stool. He immediately 47 for a box of Band-Aids to put one on his cut. This kid could 48 tie his shoelaces, but he knew he had to 49 a cut. We all know how to look after our physical health. But what about our psychological health? Well, nothing.
We 50 psychological injuries even more often than we do physical ones, injuries like failure or loneliness. However, we often 51 them. Even though there are scientific techniques to 52 psychological injuries, we don’t. “Oh, you’re feeling depressed? Just 53 ; it’s all in your head.” Can you imagine saying that to somebody with a broken 54 : “Oh, just walk it off.”
It’s time we made our physical and our psychological 55 more equal, more like twins.

阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
The first poem that I ever fell in love with was Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Raven,” 56 often quoted phrase “nevermore” seems to tell much about Americans as they will “nevermore” willingly read poetry. At the peak of poetry’s 57 (popular) in 2017, only about 28 million Americans reported that they had read a poem within the last year.
As humans, we are 58 (constant) trying to acknowledge the fact that some feelings cannot 59 (convey) clearly, and yet we shy away from an art form that depends on collecting emotion from every day and 60 (translate) it onto paper so that it becomes concrete.
In between lines, poets can transform heavy topics of love and loss 61 easy words that are not only understood but also felt. We need poetry 62 (remind) us of what we can be “if only we’re brave enough,” as Gorman would say.
Yes, poems are confusing at times, 63 it is your understanding that lends itself to meaning. Everything, from capitalization to punctuation (标点) marks, can be picked apart and thrown together; in the end, it is up to you to find 64 you need.
Regardless of 65 (they) shapes, poems are all reflections of the human desire to feel. Nathalie Handal in her piece “Love Letter” put it best, “I’d like to be a poem, to reach your heart and stay.”
So let it stay.

Jeremy is a boy who loves to lend a helping hand to his family. He spends quality time playing with his baby sister while his mother busies herself in the kitchen, cooking dinner. And after meals, he dutifully assists his father with drying the dishes. However, Jeremy’s favorite job is feeding Fletch, the family’s pet cat.
Fletch is a handsome cat, his fur a mix of brown and black, adorned with tiger stripes running across his back. When he’s hungry, Fletch has a unique way of communicating with Jeremy. He gently bumps his head against Jeremy’s legs, a silent reminder that it’s time for his meal.
One evening after dinner, Mom asked Jeremy to find Baby Suzy’s doll. “I think she might have dropped it in the backyard this afternoon,” she said worriedly. “She won’t be able to sleep without it. Can you take a look before it gets too dark?”
Without hesitation, Jeremy opened the back door and ran outside. The bright red doll stood out among the grass, making it easy for him to spot. Grabbing it, he ran back inside, relieved to have found it.
Later that night, as Jeremy prepared for bed, he remembered his usual routine. He always said goodnight to Fletch before turning off the light, but the cat was nowhere to be found. Jeremy searched the bathroom and hallway, but Fletch was missing. Worried, he went downstairs to go on his search.
He checked the living room and dining room, but still no sign of Fletch. As he reached the kitchen, Jeremy’s heart sank. Tears began to well up in his eyes. Mom, who was enjoying a cup of tea, looked up and noticed his worry. “Jeremy, you should be in bed by now! What’s wrong?” she asked, concern etched on her face.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
“The back door is open!” Jeremy cried, uneasiness creeping into his voice.

The next morning, Jeremy was awoken by a familiar sound — a loud “Meow”.

【答案】14.A 15.C 16.B 17.C
【原文】W: Charles, can you give us some advice about improving our ability to memorize?
M: Yes! Try to visualize an image that is connected to the thing you need to remember, For example, you can use several images to remember a list of ingredients for a recipe.
W: Yes, that makes sense.
M: Singing can help with memorization too. It is one of the earliest memory tricks that are used for learning new concepts. I used to “sing” lists of historical facts and dates. It works.
W: And did you have to sing aloud in your history exams?
M: Not aloud! But I did use to sing in my head. And I always got good marks for history.
W: Any more tips, Charles?
M: Yes! I’ve saved the best one till last. It’s particularly relevant for any students who have tuned in. Teach whatever it is that you want to remember. So, if you’re studying for an English exam, teach the concepts to someone else. It really works because in order to teach something you need to digest it first.
W: Thank you, Charles. Now, I think we’ve got time for a couple of questions from our listeners.

B.The short growing period.
C.The high nutritional value.
20.What challenge do the companies face?
A.To reduce the cost.
B.To improve animal welfare.
C.To make the meat environmentally friendly.
【答案】18.A 19.B 20.A
【原文】
W: In late June, the US government agreed to allow 2 companies, Upside Foods and Good Meat, to sell chicken meat that has been grown in a laboratory. That makes the US become the second country,after Singapore,to approve lab-grown chicken meat.
Lab-grown meat is a meat product developed from animal cells that are grown in a lab.The first cells come from live animals. In this case, experts choose cells that can grow quickly and will have a good flavor.The companies say that their meat is better for the environment than the meat from animals. Raising animals for food creates about 15% of the world’s greenhouse gases. At the same time, raising animals for food is extremely hard on animals. They are often kept in small spaces and are treated badly.
Surveys have shown that many people aren’t interested in lab-grown meat. Right now, the meat is far more expensive than the meat from animals. Now that the companies have been approved, they have the huge challenge of figuring out how to make much more meat far more cheaply. For now, the lab-grown meat is mainly served in expensive restaurants.

A
Winter is for working hard; summer is for playing hard. From the Bahamas to Amsterdam, we have several most appealing summer vacation spots for you to choose from.
The Bahamas
While there is a risk of getting rained on during hurricane season, June generally sees mild weather, fewer crowds and significantly lower prices. While some resorts in the Out Islands may close, New Providence and Paradise Island remain open year-round. It’s a good choice for families looking for a taste of relaxing island living.
Mackinac Island, MI
Mackinac Island, 20 minutes by boat from either the Upper or Lower Peninsula of Michigan, comes alive on summer weekends. Most of its roughly 4 square miles is parkland, suitable for hiking and cycling. Be sure to take in the beautiful architecture—Victorian cottages that date back to just after the Civil War. You can have a taste of times gone by; cars were banned more than a hundred years ago, and horse-drawn carriages are still used to get around today.
Amsterdam
Summer is the ideal time to visit this city. The gray skies have lifted, festivals abound and events to enjoy include the Open Garden Days, when visitors can peek into the private gardens behind the beautiful houses that line the famous canals. You can experience urban adventure, crossing Amsterdam’s thousands of bridges and waterways by bike and by boat in search of the perfect brown café.
Ocean City, MD
This East Coast beach town is best known for its boardwalk, which is known for old-school amusement rides. Cycling in the town is also a great pleasure. Grab your wallets and feast on hard-shelled crabs at Hooper’s crab house or drink in the sunset with a local beer in hand from Fager’s Island Restaurant & Bar’s large bayfront decks Parking is free with your consuming receipt. You can’t miss a classic walk along the boardwalk and the taste of Thrasher’s vinegar and Old Bay French fries

21.细节理解题。根据Mackinac Island部分中“Be sure to take in the beautiful architecture—Victorian cottages that date back to just after the Civil War. You can have a taste of times gone by; cars were banned more than a hundred years ago, and horse-drawn carriages are still used to get around today.(一定要去看看美丽的建筑——维多利亚时代的小屋,它们可以追溯到内战后不久。你可以品尝到逝去的时光;汽车在一百多年前就被禁止了,今天人们仍然使用马车出行)”可知,如果你想享受一点历史,你可以去Mackinac Island。故选B。
22.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“You can experience urban adventure, crossing Amsterdam’s thousands of bridges and waterways by bike and by boat in search of the perfect brown café.(你可以体验城市冒险,骑自行车或乘船穿过阿姆斯特丹成千上万的桥梁和水道,寻找完美的棕色咖啡馆)”可知,你在阿姆斯特丹能体验乘船探索水道。故选A。
23.细节理解题。根据Mackinac Island部分中“Most of its roughly 4 square miles is parkland, suitable for hiking and cycling.(它大约4平方英里的大部分是公园,适合徒步旅行和骑自行车)”以及Ocean City部分中“Cycling in the town is also a great pleasure. (在镇上骑自行车也是一种极大的乐趣)”可知,麦基诺岛和大洋城的共同之处是都适合骑自行车。故选C。
B
When does spring begin? For some, it’s the second Sunday in March, when we turn our clocks forward by an hour in the United States. For others, it’s when they first realize they’ve finished dinner and it’s still light out. This year, impatient as ever for winter to end, I decided to skip my usual routine of calendar watching and see if I couldn’t do something to speed up spring’s arrival.
It’s only a three-hour flight from La Guardia (rainy, cold), New York to West Palm Beach (sunny, 81 degrees, slight breeze), Florida and from there an hour’s drive to Clover Park in Port St. Lucie, the spring training home of the New York Mets, where the traffic of more than 7,000 fans descended. Here in Port St. Lucie on a Tuesday afternoon, weeks before the season’s official start, cheery fans were dressed in lightweight clothing, drinking Modelo Especial and snacking on peanuts, heckling (起哄) the players. Here, spring was already happening.
Being outdoors in the sunshine and fresh air, things do feel slower and easier. I love that baseball has long been considered America’s national pastime. A pastime is something that makes the passing of time pleasant. Isn’t that what we’re dying for in the winter months? Something that makes time not just tolerable but enjoyable?
By the time I left Florida, it was pouring rain and even a little chilly. How was I supposed to take springtime home with me, I wondered fiercely. It was still raining in New York when I landed. Spring isn’t just weather, of course, and it certainly makes no promises about rain. I'm trying to resist cliché (陈词滥调), to keep from saying something similar to “spring is a state of mind,” even though I wish it were.
I went looking for spring and I found it where spring breakers find it every year, already in full swing in the Sunshine State. My own official removal of woolen coats will occur on Tuesday, when spring finally arrives. But having experienced 24 hours of spring’s full pageant (盛会), my own little preseason, I feel slightly pacified. Perhaps I can be patient as spring establishes itself, and offer the season a little grace as it clicks into place.
24.What is presented in Paragraph 1?
A.Spring falls on a fixed date.
B.Spring came late this year.
C.The author was longing for spring restlessly.
D.The author was celebrating the end of winter.
25.How did the author find Port St. Lucie?
A.A fast-paced world. B.Full of a joyful atmosphere.
C.The birthplace of baseball. D.Home to delicious food.
26.What does the underlined word “pacified” in the last paragraph mean?
A.Puzzled. B.Disappointed. C.Curious. D.Calm.
27.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.In Search of Spring B.In Praise of Spring
C.A Trip to Florida D.A Farewell to New York
【答案】24.C 25.B 26.D 27.A
【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要描述了作者对于春天的渴望和寻找春天的过程。
24.推理判断题。根据文章第一段“This year, impatient as ever for winter to end, I decided to skip my usual routine of calendar watching and see if I couldn’t do something to speed up spring’s arrival.(今年,和往年一样,我迫不及待地希望冬天结束,我决定不再按惯例盯着日历看,而是看看自己能不能做些什么来加速春天的到来。)”可推知,作者焦急地盼望着春天的到来。故选C。
25.推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Here in Port St. Lucie on a Tuesday afternoon, weeks before the season’s official start, cheery fans were dressed in lightweight clothing, drinking Modelo Especial and snacking on peanuts, heckling(起哄)the players. Here, spring was already happening.(在圣露西港,一个周二的下午,距离赛季正式开始还有几周的时间,兴高采烈的球迷们穿着轻便的衣服,喝着Modelo special,吃着花生,向球员起哄。在这里,春天已经来临。)”可知,作者认为圣露西港充满欢乐的气氛。故选B。
26.词句猜测题。根据上文“But having experienced 24 hours of spring’s full pageant (盛会), my own little preseason(但在经历了24小时的春天盛会之后,我自己也提前进入了春季前的准备阶段)”和下文“Perhaps I can be patient as spring establishes itself, and offer the season a little grace as it clicks into place.(也许我可以在春天到来的时候保持耐心,在春天到来的时候给这个季节增添一点优雅。)”可知,作者提前感受到了春天的美好,因此感到内心平静,不再那么急切地期待春天的到来。因此,pacified意为“平静的”,选项D“平静的”最符合文意。故选D。
27.主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“This year, impatient as ever for winter to end, I decided to skip my usual routine of calendar watching and see if I couldn’t do something to speed up spring’s arrival.(今年,和往年一样,我迫不及待地希望冬天结束,我决定不再按惯例盯着日历看,而是看看自己能不能做些什么来加速春天的到来。)”和文章最后一段“I went looking for spring and I found it where spring breakers find it every year, already in full swing in the Sunshine State.(我去寻找春天,我在每年春假的地方找到了它,在阳光之州已经如火如荼了。)”可知,文章主要描述了作者对于春天的渴望和寻找春天的过程。A项“In Search of Spring(寻找春天)”概括文章主旨,适合作为标题。故选A。
C
When Spanish meets English, new dialects emerge, giving us real-time insight into language evolution, linguists say.
For instance, “Vamos de punches punches punches”, Yamilet Munoz texted her friends in Austin, Texas. It means “let’s go and party”, but it’s not a phrase you’ll find in any dictionary. It’s a remix of Spanish and English words seasoned with an in-joke about punching the air as you dance.
“Our language has always been a very big indicator of our cultural pride,” says Munoz, whose parents migrated from Mexico to San Antonio, Texas, in the 1990s. Around 66% of the city's population identify as Hispanic or Latino/Latina. For Munoz and her friends there is pride in speaking Spanish, but also in mixing the languages into the hybrid known as Spanglish.
The evolution of Spanglish has been documented for decades, with each generation adding its unique twist. Now a growing body of research, as well as the experiences of bilingual(双语的) speakers like Munoz, shows just how deeply English and Spanish are influencing each other in the United States, resulting in hybrid dialects like Spanglish, but also, transforming the underlying languages.
For the past decade, Carter and his colleagues have studied language change in Miami, a city where some 72% identify as Latino or Hispanic and which is strongly shaped by historical migration from Cuba. Their research documents the emergence of a distinct “Miami English” dialect as a result of that Spanish-language heritage.
The Spanish influence has also shown up in ways people may not immediately notice, such as sounds like the “oo” in “boot” being pronounced in a more Spanish-style way in Miami, more like the Spanish “u” vowel, according to separate research by Carter, Lydda Lopez Valdez at the University of Miami and Nandi Sims at Ohio State University.
“This is the work of language change, this is the work of dialect formation, this is how it happens. It happens in things that are really noticeable, like the phrase ‘get down from the car’, but it also happens in really slight ways,” he says.
28.Why is an example introduced in Paragraph 2?
A.To illustrate the language innovation.
B.To explain the advantage of Spanish.
C.To highlight the mix of Spanish and English.
D.To prove the enrichment of English vocabulary.
29.What can be inferred from Munoz and her friends?
A.Spanish and English are interrelating.
B.Mixing two languages is complicated.
C.Languages dominate cultural development.
D.Bilingualists tend to observe their own culture.
30.What does Carter intend to convey?
A.Dialects evolve flexibly and frequently.
B.Spanish possesses more sounds than English.
C.Phrases are changing more slowly than before.
D.Language change is progressive and dynamic.
31.Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A.How Researchers are Studying Languages.
B.How Modem English is Changing Globally.
C.How a Generation is Reinventing Spanglish.
D.How Spanglish is Influencing American Culture
【答案】28.A 29.A 30.D 31.C
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Spanglish(西班牙语和英语的混合语)的形成和演变,特别是新一代人是如何重新创造Spanglish的。
28.推理判断题。根据文章第一段“When Spanish meets English, new dialects emerge, giving us real-time insight into language evolution, linguists say.(语言学家说,当西班牙语与英语相遇时,新的方言就会出现,让我们实时了解语言的演变。)”和文章第二段“For instance, “Vamos de punches punches punches”, Yamilet Munoz texted her friends in Austin, Texas. It means “let’s go and party”, but it’s not a phrase you’ll find in any dictionary. It’s a remix of Spanish and English words seasoned with an in-joke about punching the air as you dance.(例如,“Vamos de punches punches punches”,Yamilet Munoz给她在得克萨斯州奥斯汀的朋友们发了这条短信。这句话的意思是“让我们去派对”,但这不是你在任何字典里都能找到的短语。这是西班牙语和英语单词的混合体,并带有一个关于跳舞时挥拳的玩笑。)”可知,第二段中引入一个例子是为了说明语言的创新。故选A。
29.推理判断题。根据文章第三段“For Munoz and her friends there is pride in speaking Spanish, but also in mixing the languages into the hybrid known as Spanglish. (对于穆尼奥斯和她的朋友们来说,说西班牙语是一件很骄傲的事,但同时也为将两种语言混合成一种被称为西班牙式英语的混合体而感到自豪。)”和文章第四段“Now a growing body of research, as well as the experiences of bilingual(双语的) speakers like Munoz, shows just how deeply English and Spanish are influencing each other in the United States, resulting in hybrid dialects like Spanglish, but also, transforming the underlying languages.(现在,越来越多的研究,以及像穆尼奥斯这样的双语使用者的经历,表明英语和西班牙语在美国是多么深刻地相互影响,产生了像西班牙式英语这样的混合方言,同时也改变了基础语言。)”可推知,Munoz和她的朋友们在说话中混合使用西班牙语和英语,这表明两种语言是相互关联的。故选A。
30.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““This is the work of language change, this is the work of dialect formation, this is how it happens. It happens in things that are really noticeable, like the phrase ‘get down from the car’, but it also happens in really slight ways,” he says.(“这是语言变化的成果,这是方言形成的成果,这就是它是如何发生的。它会发生在一些非常明显的事情中,比如‘从车里下来’,但它也会以非常轻微的方式发生,”他说。)”可推知,Carter想要传达的是语言变化是渐进的和动态的。故选D。
31.主旨大意题。文章主要介绍了Spanglish(西班牙语和英语的混合语)的形成和演变,特别是新一代人是如何重新创造Spanglish的。文章中提到,当西班牙语遇到英语时,新的方言就会出现,这为我们提供了语言演变的实时洞察。文章还通过Yamilet Munoz的例子,展示了Spanglish是如何在年轻人中流行的,并强调了这种语言混合现象在文化和身份认同中的重要性。因此,文章的最佳标题应该是C项“How a Generation is Reinventing Spanglish”,即“一代人是如何重新创造Spanglish的”。故选C。
D
Medicine is not exclusively a human invention. Many other animals, from insects to birds to nonhuman primates, have been known to self-medicate with plants and minerals for infections and other conditions.
Behavioral ecologist Helen Morrogh-Bernard of the Borneo Nature Foundation has spent decades studying the island’s orangutans (猩猩) and says she has now found evidence they use plants in a previously unseen medicinal way.
During more than 20, 000 hours of formal observation, Morrogh-Bernard and her colleagues watched 10 orangutans occasionally chew a particular plant (which is not part of their normal diet) into a foamy lather (泡沫) and then rub it into their fur. The apes spent up to 45 minutes at a time massaging the mixture onto their upper arms or legs. The researchers believe this behavior is the first known example of a nonhuman animal using a topical painkiller.
Local people use the same plant Dracaena cantleyi, an unremarkable-looking plant with stalked leaves-to treat aches and pains. Morrogh-Bernard’s co-authors studied its chemistry. They added extracts (提出物) from the plant to human cells that had been grown in a dish and had been artificially stimulated to produce cytokines, an immune system response that causes inflammation (炎症) and discomfort. The plant extract reduced the production of several types of cytokines, the scientists reported the finding in a study published last November in Scientific Reports.
The results suggest that orangutans use the plant to reduce inflammation and treat pam. Such findings could help identify plants and chemicals that might be useful for human medications.
In creatures such as insects, the ability to self-medicate is almost certainly innate: woolly bear caterpillars infected with flies seek out and eat plant substances that are poisonous to the flies. But more complex animals may learn such tricks after an initial discovery by one member of their group.
For example, an orangutan may have rubbed the plant on its skin to try to treat parasites and realized that it also had a pleasant pain-killing effect. That behavior may then have been passed on to other orangutans. Because this type of-self-medication is seen only in south-central Borneo, Morrogh-Bernard says, it was probably learned locally.
32.What do we know about Dracaena cantleyi?
A.It can serve as a pain killer. B.It is orangutans normal diet.
C.It is a plant with a foamy lather. D.L can function as building materials.
33.How did Morrogh-Bernard’s team prove the plant’s healing properties?
A.By studying the plant’s chemistry. B.By observing apes eating the plant.
C.By extracting cytokines from the plant. D.By watching local people using the plant.
34.What is the significance of the findings?
A.Botanists can better understand plants.
B.Scientists can find a new way to study apes.
C.Doctors may have the power to cure more diseases.
D.Drug companies may find new materials for medicine.
35.What can we learn according to the passage?
A.Medicine is a human unique invention. B.Plant extracts are the best to treat-pain.
C.Humans and animals have a lot in common. D.Insects have the natural ability to self medication.
【答案】32.A 33.A 34.D 35.D
【导语】这是一篇说明文,药物并不是人类的独家发明,研究人员通过观察猩猩用一种植物进行自我治疗,发现有很多其他动物都会用植物和矿物质来自我治疗感染和其他疾病。
32.细节理解题。根据第四段中“Local people use the same plant Dracaena cantleyi, an unremarkable-looking plant with stalked leaves-to treat aches and pains.(当地人用同样的植物Dracaena cantleyi(一种长着茎状叶子的普通植物)来治疗疼痛)”可知,Dracaena cantleyi可以用来止疼,故选A。
33.细节理解题。根据第四段中“Morrogh-Bernard’s co-authors studied its chemistry.(Morrogh-Bernard的合著者研究了它的化学成分)”可知,Morrogh-Bernard团队是通过研究这种植物的化学性质证明了它的药物疗效,故选A。
34.推理判断题。根据第五段中“Such findings could help identify plants and chemicals that might be useful for human medications.(这些发现可以帮助识别可能对人类药物有用的植物和化学物质)”可知,这些发现的意义是制药公司可能会发现新的药物材料。故选D。
35.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“In creatures such as insects, the ability to self-medicate is almost certainly innate(在昆虫等生物中,自我治疗的能力几乎肯定是天生的)”以及“But more complex animals may learn such tricks after an initial discovery by one member of their group.(但更复杂的动物可能会在群体中的一个成员最初发现后学会这些技巧)”可知,一些昆虫的自我治疗能力是天生的,而更多的动物是后天学习而得,故选D。
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
While most of us work hard to shine at the presentations and speeches we can prepare for, we may find impromptu (即兴的) communication scary. Actually, you just need to learn specific skills to communicate effectively when put on the spot. Here are a few pointers.
36 What do you want your audience to know? How do you want them to feel, and what do you want them to do? Having a clear objective paired with an awareness of your audience will narrow your focus. Then you can prioritize what to say and choose your exact words more wisely.
Organize Your Thoughts. When making formal presentations, most people give a logical structure that audiences can easily follow. But few of us adequately organize thoughts in impromptu situations. 37 In fact, the best speakers maintain audience interest by demonstrating connections among specific points, ideas, for example.
Listen as well as you talk. 38 You should do the opposite: focus on listening so that you can better understand the in-the-moment needs and interests of your conversation partners and respond more effectively. Paraphrasing or asking open-ended follow-up questions can help confirm your understanding and provide extra time to think about your response.
Dare to be dull. Don’t feel you need to give a standout performance. One popular saying applies here, “ 39 ” Listeners are more likely to trust and approve of you when you speak like a human being rather than an actor or a robot. Research shows that the most effective speech includes moderate use of fillers such as “um” and “uh”.
The real problem in impromptu communication isn’t an inability to communicate. 40 Fortunately, a measure of experimentation thought, and practice of the skills can make impromptu speaking opportunities your time to shine.
A.Identify a communication goal.
B.He knows most who speaks least.
C.Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
D.It’s being so nervous that we struggle with the talks.
E.We may assume that it’s impossible to do so on the fly.
F.A clear structure enhances comprehension and engagement.
G.Most people obsess over what to say during impromptu encounters.
【答案】36.A 37.F 38.G 39.C 40.D
【导语】本文是一篇关于即兴沟通技巧的说明文。文章通过提供具体的建议帮助读者在没有准备的情况下有效沟通。
36.下文“Having a clear objective paired with an awareness of your audience will narrow your focus. (拥有一个清晰的目标,加上对听众的了解,将有助于集中你的注意力。)”说明要明确沟通目标并了解听众,空格处需要一个与此相一致的选项,因此A项“Identify a communication goal. (确定一个沟通目标。)”中的关键词goal和本段相符,故选A。
37.下文“In fact, the best speakers maintain audience interest by demonstrating connections among specific points, ideas, for example. (事实上,最好的演讲者通过展示特定点和想法之间的联系来保持听众兴趣。)”说明优秀的讲话需要有一定的逻辑结构,因此F项“A clear structure enhances comprehension and engagement. (清晰的结构增强理解和参与度。)”与下文一致,故选F。
38.下文“You should do the opposite: focus on listening so that you can better understand the in-the-moment needs and interests of your conversation partners and respond more effectively. (你应该做相反的事情:专注于倾听,这样你就能更好地理解对话伙伴的即时需求和兴趣,并更有效地回应。)”说明在谈话中,我们应该更加注重倾听而不是说话,因此G项“Most people obsess over what to say during impromptu encounters. (大多数人在即兴场合过于纠结于该说什么。)”与下文的do the opposite逻辑相符,故选G。
39.下文“Listeners are more likely to trust and approve of you when you speak like a human being rather than an actor or a robot. (当你像一个人而不是演员或机器人那样说话时,听众更可能信任和赞同你。)”说明想要让对方更加信任自己,我们不应该像机器人那样发挥完美,机械回答,应该更像人类一样,有一些小错误,因此C项“Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. (不要让完美成为好的敌人。)”与下文相一致,故选C。
40.下文“Fortunately, a measure of experimentation thought, and practice of the skills can make impromptu speaking opportunities your time to shine. (幸运的是,一些实验性思考和技能实践可以使即兴演讲机会成为你发光的时刻。)”可知通过这些小技巧,可以让人们在谈话中发挥出色,从而就不会紧张,因此D项“It’s being so nervous that we struggle with the talks. (正是因为我们太紧张,所以我们在谈话中挣扎。)”与下文相一致,故选D。
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。
I grew up with my identical twin. One thing about being a 41 is that it makes you an expert in spotting favoritism (偏爱). If his cookie was slightly bigger than mine, I was 42 although I wasn’t hungry.
When I became a psychologist, I began to 43 how much more we 44 the body than we do the mind. I spent nine years earning my doctorate (博士学位) in psychology, and I can’t tell you how many people look at my business card and say, “Oh — a psychologist. So, not a 45 doctor.” This favoritism we show the body over the mind can be seen everywhere.
I was at my friends’ house, and their five-year-old was standing on a stool (凳子), brushing his teeth. His skin on his leg was 46 when he fell from the stool. He immediately 47 for a box of Band-Aids to put one on his cut. This kid could 48 tie his shoelaces, but he knew he had to 49 a cut. We all know how to look after our physical health. But what about our psychological health? Well, nothing.
We 50 psychological injuries even more often than we do physical ones, injuries like failure or loneliness. However, we often 51 them. Even though there are scientific techniques to 52 psychological injuries, we don’t. “Oh, you’re feeling depressed? Just 53 ; it’s all in your head.” Can you imagine saying that to somebody with a broken 54 : “Oh, just walk it off.”
It’s time we made our physical and our psychological 55 more equal, more like twins.

第二节 (共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
The first poem that I ever fell in love with was Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Raven,” 56 often quoted phrase “nevermore” seems to tell much about Americans as they will “nevermore” willingly read poetry. At the peak of poetry’s 57 (popular) in 2017, only about 28 million Americans reported that they had read a poem within the last year.
As humans, we are 58 (constant) trying to acknowledge the fact that some feelings cannot 59 (convey) clearly, and yet we shy away from an art form that depends on collecting emotion from every day and 60 (translate) it onto paper so that it becomes concrete.
In between lines, poets can transform heavy topics of love and loss 61 easy words that are not only understood but also felt. We need poetry 62 (remind) us of what we can be “if only we’re brave enough,” as Gorman would say.
Yes, poems are confusing at times, 63 it is your understanding that lends itself to meaning. Everything, from capitalization to punctuation (标点) marks, can be picked apart and thrown together; in the end, it is up to you to find 64 you need.
Regardless of 65 (they) shapes, poems are all reflections of the human desire to feel. Nathalie Handal in her piece “Love Letter” put it best, “I’d like to be a poem, to reach your heart and stay.”
So let it stay.
【答案】
56.whose 57.popularity 58.constantly 59.be conveyed 60.translating 61.into 62.to remind 63.but 64.what 65.their
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了作者对于诗歌这种艺术形式的看法和理解。
56.考查定语从句。句意:我爱上的第一首诗是埃德加·爱伦·坡的《乌鸦》,这首诗经常被引用的那句“再也不”似乎说明了很多关于美国人的事情,因为他们“再也不”愿意读诗了。非限制性定语从句修饰先行词The Raven,关系词在从句作定语,应用whose。故填whose。
57.考查名词。句意:在2017年诗歌最受欢迎的时候,只有大约2800万美国人报告说他们在去年读过一首诗。作介词的宾语,应用名词popularity,故填popularity。
58.考查副词。句意:作为人类,我们一直在努力承认这样一个事实,即有些情感无法清晰地表达出来,但我们却回避一种依赖于每天收集情感并将其转化为具体内容的艺术形式。修饰动词try应用副词constantly,故填constantly。
59.考查语态。句意:作为人类,我们一直在努力承认这样一个事实,即有些情感无法清晰地表达出来,但我们却回避一种依赖于每天收集情感并将其转化为具体内容的艺术形式。主语与谓语构成被动关系,且cannot后跟动词原形。故填be conveyed。
60.考查非谓语动词。句意:作为人类,我们一直在努力承认这样一个事实,即有些情感无法清晰地表达出来,但我们却回避一种依赖于每天收集情感并将其转化为具体内容的艺术形式。作介词的宾语,应用动名词形式。故填translating。
61.考查介词。句意:在字里行间,诗人可以把沉重的爱和失去的话题转化为轻松的语言,不仅可以理解,而且可以感受到。短语transform…into…表示“把……转化为……”。故填into。
62.考查非谓语动词。句意:正如戈尔曼所说,我们需要诗歌来提醒自己,“只要我们足够勇敢”,我们就能成为什么样的人。短语need sth. to do sth.表示“需要某物做某事”。故填to remind。
63.考查连词。句意:是的,诗歌有时会令人困惑,但正是你的理解赋予了它意义。结合前后文语境可知为转折关系,应用连词but。故填but。
64.考查宾语从句。句意:从大写字母到标点符号,所有的东西都可以拆开再拼在一起;最后,找到你需要的是你自己。引导宾语从句,从句缺少宾语,指物,应用what。故填what。
65.考查代词。句意:不论诗歌的形式如何,它们都反映了人类对感受的渴望。修饰名词shapes应用形容词性物主代词their。故填their。

【答案】
My First Experience in Career
Last month, I had the privilege of participating in our school’s initiative, “My First Experience in Career.” It aimed to provide students like me with a glimpse into diverse professions.
My journey began at a local hospital, where I shadowed as a diligent nurse for a day. Witnessing her interactions with patients, meticulous care, and swift decision-making, I gained a deeper understanding of the immense responsibility and compassion required in this noble profession. It was an eye-opening experience that left me grateful for the healthcare workers who tirelessly save lives.
This practical experience transformed me, increasing my knowledge and igniting ambition. I’m thankful to our school for organizing such a meaningful program and excited for future opportunities.

67.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。
Jeremy is a boy who loves to lend a helping hand to his family. He spends quality time playing with his baby sister while his mother busies herself in the kitchen, cooking dinner. And after meals, he dutifully assists his father with drying the dishes. However, Jeremy’s favorite job is feeding Fletch, the family’s pet cat.
Fletch is a handsome cat, his fur a mix of brown and black, adorned with tiger stripes running across his back. When he’s hungry, Fletch has a unique way of communicating with Jeremy. He gently bumps his head against Jeremy’s legs, a silent reminder that it’s time for his meal.
One evening after dinner, Mom asked Jeremy to find Baby Suzy’s doll. “I think she might have dropped it in the backyard this afternoon,” she said worriedly. “She won’t be able to sleep without it. Can you take a look before it gets too dark?”
Without hesitation, Jeremy opened the back door and ran outside. The bright red doll stood out among the grass, making it easy for him to spot. Grabbing it, he ran back inside, relieved to have found it.
Later that night, as Jeremy prepared for bed, he remembered his usual routine. He always said goodnight to Fletch before turning off the light, but the cat was nowhere to be found. Jeremy searched the bathroom and hallway, but Fletch was missing. Worried, he went downstairs to go on his search.
He checked the living room and dining room, but still no sign of Fletch. As he reached the kitchen, Jeremy’s heart sank. Tears began to well up in his eyes. Mom, who was enjoying a cup of tea, looked up and noticed his worry. “Jeremy, you should be in bed by now! What’s wrong?” she asked, concern etched on her face.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
“The back door is open!” Jeremy cried, uneasiness creeping into his voice.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The next morning, Jeremy was awoken by a familiar sound — a loud “Meow”.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】“The back door is open!” Jeremy cried, uneasiness creeping into his voice. “And I can’t find Fletch anywhere!” “I think you’re right to be worried,” she said, her voice calm yet filled with sympathy. “Fletch may have slipped out through the open door.” “Fletch may slipped out the door.” Jeremy’s eyes welled up with tears. “Fletch ran away and it’s all my fault! I left the door open!” he sobbed. Mom wrapped her arms around Jeremy, offering comfort. They sat together until Jeremy stopped crying. “Cats are very smart,” Mom said gently. “Fletch will probably find his way home for breakfast.”
The next morning, Jeremy was awoken by a familiar sound — a loud “Meow.” He jumped out of bed and ran downstairs, his heart full of hope. He made his way straight to the back door and pushed it open wide. There, sitting calmly, was Fletch, licking his paw as he washed his face. Fletch looked at Jeremy and meowed. Then, without hesitation, he slipped inside and made his way to his food bowl. Jeremy’s heart filled with relief and joy. He gave Fletch an extra scoop of cat food. “Next time I’ll make sure I close the door nice and tight,” Jeremy promised, his voice filled with determination. “Meow,” Fletch replied, seemingly content and at peace.
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,Jeremy喜欢帮家人做家务,最喜欢的是喂养家里的猫Fletch。有一天晚上,他把家门打开了,导致Fletch不见了。
【详解】1.段落续写:①由第一段首句内容““后门开着!” Fletch叫道,声音里带着不安。”可知,第一段可描写Jeremy的自责以及母亲的安慰。
②由第二段首句内容“第二天早上,Jeremy被一个熟悉的声音吵醒了——一声响亮的“喵喵”。”可知,第二段可描写Fletch回来的场景以及Jeremy的心情。
2.续写线索:Jeremy自责——妈妈宽慰————Fletch回来了——Jerem很高兴
3.词汇激活行为类
