We will be going to the Hands on Children’s Museum in Olympia where the kids will be able to see exhibits on art and science. The date for the field trip is Tuesday. 28th February. So we will leave the school at 10 am and arrive at the museum around 10:30, and bead back to the school around 12:30 pm. We will get a free bus ride which is awesome because it will save us a lot of money. The cost per child is still not confirmed because we are waiting for the museum to apply a discount, but it should not be more than 8 dollars. The museum requires one volunteer parent for every 5 children, so we will need at least ten of them. Also as a reminder that children need to pack their own lunch. If you wish to attend the field trip and volunteer, please let us know via email, by adding your name to the list linked below as soon as possible. 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2. 5分，满分37. 5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Why do we eat so much? One reason is buffet lunches—they need no explanation. Business dinners that last for hours also encourage people to eat too much. Dinner parties with friends are also culprits, as being in a good mood gives you an appetite. Eating too quickly because you are busy can also be a problem. It takes 20 minutes for the brain to receive a warning of overeating, so wolfing lunch in 10 minutes is not a good idea. Finally, skipping meals due to work pressure can lead to binge-eating in the evening. What’s wrong about overeating? “Taking in half the food that your stomach can contain is enough for you to survive. Eating too much places a burden on your organs and causes many health problems,” heath education expert Hong Shaoguang said. Health risks: Obesity: Countless scientific studies have proved that obesity causes heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, arteriosclerosis and other complications. Gastropathy: Overeating can cause severe indigestion even damage the gastrointestinal tract. Fatigue: Overeating slows brain reactions and accelerates the brain’s aging process. Cancer: Japanese scientists have found that overeating can switch off a gene that combats cancer. Dementia: Japanese experts have found that 30 to 40 percent of senile dementia patients overate when they were younger. 21. Which will not encourage people to eat too much according to the text? A. Being in a good mood. B. Business dinners lasting for hours. C. Too delicious food. D. Eating too quickly. 22. How much food is enough for survival according to Hong Shaoguang? A. Half the food that your stomach can contain. B. As much food as your stomach can contain. C. More food than your stomach can contain. D. A quarter of th food that your stomach can contain. 23. Which is not the health problem of overeating? A. Heart disease. B. Indigestion C. Looking older D. Cancer 【答案】21. C 22. A 23. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章阐述了人们吃得过多的原因，暴饮暴食带来的健康危险等。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据Why do we eat so much?部分的“Business dinners that last for hours also encourage people to eat too much. Dinner parties with friends are also culprits, as being in a good mood gives you an appetite. Eating too quickly because you are busy can also be a problem. (持续数小时的商务晚宴也会鼓励人们吃得太多。与朋友的晚餐聚会也是罪魁祸首，因为心情好会让你胃口大开。因为你很忙而吃得太快也是一个问题。)”可知，心情好，持续数小时的商务晚宴以及吃得太快都是吃得过多的原因，“太多的美食”没有提到。故选C。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段““Taking in half the food that your stomach can contain is enough for you to survive. Eating too much places a burden on your organs and causes many health problems,” heath education expert Hong Shaoguang said.( “只摄入胃能容纳的一半食物就足以让你生存下去。健康教育专家洪绍光说:“吃得太多会给你的器官带来负担，导致许多健康问题。”)”可知，吃胃能容纳的一半食物就足以让你生存。故选A。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Health risks部分的“Obesity: Countless scientific studies have proved that obesity causes heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, arteriosclerosis and other complications.(肥胖：无数的科学研究证明，肥胖会导致心脏病、高血压、糖尿病、动脉硬化等并发症。)”“ Gastropathy: Overeating can cause severe indigestion even damage the gastrointestinal tract.(胃病：暴饮暴食会导致严重的消化不良，甚至损害胃肠道。)”和“ Cancer(癌症)”可知，吃得太多可以导致心脏病，消化不良和癌症，不会导致看起来更老，故选C。 B The Mattel toy company created a new Barbie doll with the famous British scientist Jane Goodall as its model. The company issued the new doll this week, the latest member of the Barbie toymaker’s “Inspiring Women”. Mattel said the doll, made from used plastic, honored Goodall’s deep research on chimpanzees (黑猩猩) in Tanzania and her efforts to protect the wild animals. The doll was dressed in a light brown shirt and shorts, much like that seen in many images of Goodall at work in Africa. It also came with a notebook, telescopes and another doll modeled on the real chimp Goodall named David Greybeard. He was the first chimpanzee with which she built trust in Tanzania’s Gombe Stream National Park. The relationship permitted her to study the animals extremely closely. “I wanted a doll to be me even before this idea came up,” the 88- year-old scientist said. She praised Mattel for developing new Barbies standing for a wider number of working women. Lisa McKnight agreed. She is the Executive Vice President and Global Head of Barbie and Dolls for Mattel. She said, “We hope that this collection inspires kids to learn more about green careers and how they can protect the planet, and act out stories about environmental protection through doll play.” Goodall started her research in what is now Tanzania in the 1960s. She produced much research on wild chimpanzees over the years. She recorded how they made and used tools, lived in communities, and showed a high level of emotional understanding. Goodall wanted to teach children that if they wanted to have a good effect on the changing environment, they must act. Goodall said, “Hope is about action on climate change, loss of wildlife, unfriendly lifestyles and pollution. We reach out to others because there are people working on each one of these problems…” 24. What do we know about the doll modeled on Goodall? A. It was created by Goodall. B. It looked like a chimpanzee. C. It was in honour of Goodall. D. It was named David Greybeard. 25. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The habits of chimpanzees. B. Goodall’s career experiences. C. The importance of studying wild animals. D. The bad living conditions of chimpanzees. 26. What did Goodall call on children to do in the last paragraph? A. Keep healthy. B. Raise questions. C. Adapt to the environment. D. Protect the natural environment. 27. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Jane Goodall Gets Her Own Doll B. A New Doll Is About to Go on Sale C. Women Should Have Green Careers D. Environmentally Friendly Action Is a Must 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. D 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述Mattel玩具公司以英国著名科学家Jane Goodall为模型，制造了一款新的芭比娃娃。并介绍Jane Goodall的工作经历及其对社会的贡献。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Mattel said the doll, made from used plastic, honored Goodall’s deep research on chimpanzees (黑猩猩) in Tanzania and her efforts to protect the wild animals. (Mattel说，这个娃娃由废旧塑料制成，因Goodall对坦桑尼亚黑猩猩的深入研究以及她为了保护野生动物所做的努力而对Goodall表示敬意。)”可知，这个芭比娃娃是为了向Jane Goodall表示敬意。故选C。 【25题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“She produced much research on wild chimpanzees over the years. She recorded how they made and used tools, lived in communities, and showed a high level of emotional understanding. (多年来，她对野生黑猩猩进行了大量研究。她记录了他们如何制作和使用工具，在群落中生活，并表现出高度的情感理解。)”可知，第四段主要讲述了Goodall的研究及工作经历。故选B。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Goodall wanted to teach children that if they wanted to have a good effect on the changing environment, they must act. Goodall said, “Hope is about action on climate change, loss of wildlife, unfriendly lifestyles and pollution. (Goodall想告诉孩子们，如果他们想对不断变化的环境产生积极的影响，他们必须采取行动。Goodall说：“希望是关于应对气候变化，野生动物的灭绝，不友好的生活方式和污染的行动。)”可知，Jane Goodall号召孩子们行动起来保护自然环境。故选D。 27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“The Mattel toy company created a new Barbie doll with the famous British scientist Jane Goodall as its model. The company issued the new doll this week, the latest member of the Barbie toymaker’s “Inspiring Women”. (Mattel玩具公司以英国著名科学家Jane Goodall为模型，制造了一个新的芭比娃娃。该公司本周发布了新娃娃，这是芭比玩具制造商“鼓舞人心的女性”的最新成员。)”可知，文章介绍了一款新的芭比娃娃，它是由Mattel玩具公司以英国著名科学家Jane Goodall为模型制造的，使Jane Goodall拥有了自己的芭比娃娃。故推知文章标题应为Jane Goodall Gets Her Own Doll，故选A。 C “Have you checked the oil in the car?” my father used to say to me, his way of “Hello, hope you are well.” Sometimes our phone calls would begin with a question about the oil and end with a question about the oil, with not a lot in between. Fathers have a lot of love to give, but it’s often offered by means of practical advice. In my experience: It’s mostly about my car. “How’s the car running?” “Did you get it serviced?” My car — an old green Toyota Corona bought for $500 — was where my father showed his love. Why can’t we fathers just say “I love you” or “It’s great to see you”? The point is: that’s exactly what we are saying. You just have to translate from the language that is Fatherlish. Listen closely enough and the phrase “I love you” can be heard in the slightly longer “I could come around Saturday and repair your chair.” The words “You made my life better from the moment you were born” may be hardly heard, but the main meaning is there in the more common “I’ll hold the ladder while you get the leaves down from the roof.” When I was 17, I went on my first road trip — a friend and I in that old car. My father stood on the corner on a cold morning to say goodbye. “Highways are dangerous,” he said, “so don’t try overtaking anything faster than a horse and buggy. And take a break every two hours. And every time you stop for gas, you really should check the oil.” At the time we thought his speech was pretty funny and would sing “horse-and-buggy” every time I tried to overtake some other speeding cars. Dad’s long gone now. But after all these years, I realize that had I owned a copy of the Fatherlish-to-English dictionary, I’d have understood that the speech my friend and I so carelessly laughed at was simply Dad’s attempt at love. 28. Why did the author’s father often ask about the car? A. To show his love for the car. B. To see if there is enough oil. C. To express his care to his son. D. To check the condition of the car. 29. Which of the following sentences is an example of Fatherlish? A. I love you deeply. B. It’s great to see you. C. You made my life better. D. I can check the oil for you. 30. What does the underlined word “overtaking” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Outrunning. B. Approaching. C. Crashing into. D. Knocking over. 31. What can be inferred about the author in the last paragraph? A. He wanted to own a dictionary. B. He regrets his childish behavior. C. He is sad about his father’s death. D. He realized his father’s love then. 【答案】28. C 29. D 30. A 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者的父亲会给出实用的建议和做实际行动来表达对作者的爱。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Fathers have a lot of love to give, but it’s often offered by means of practical advice. In my experience: It’s mostly about my car. (父亲有很多爱可以给予，但通常是通过实用的建议来给予的。根据我的经验：主要是关于我的车)”可知，作者的父亲经常询问有关汽车的情况，以表达他对儿子的关心。故选C项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Fathers have a lot of love to give, but it’s often offered by means of practical advice. (父亲有很多爱可以给予，但通常是通过实用的建议来给予的)”及第三段“Why can’t we fathers just say “I love you” or “It’s great to see you”? The point is: that’s exactly what we are saying. You just have to translate from the language that is Fatherlish. Listen closely enough and the phrase “I love you” can be heard in the slightly longer “I could come around Saturday and repair your chair.””(为什么我们做父亲的就不能说“我爱你”或者“很高兴见到你”呢？重点是：这正是我们所说的。你只需要从父亲式的语言中进行翻译。仔细听，“我爱你”可以在稍微长一点的短语“我可以在星期六过来修理你的椅子”中听到)”可知，父亲表达自己的爱，不会直接说“我爱你，想你”之类的话，而是问关于作者轿车的油相关问题，这才是一种父语的表达。故选D项。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。文章第四段作者父亲所说的话“ Highways are dangerous(高速公路很危险)”和“anything faster than a horse and buggy(比马和马车更快的东西)”可推知，作者第一次公路旅行时，他的父亲劝告作者在马路上不要开太快，不要试图超越。由此可知，划线词overtaking 与outrunning(超过，跑得比……快)意思接近。故选A项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“I realize that had I owned a copy of the Fatherlish-to-English dictionary, I’d have understood that the speech my friend and I so carelessly laughed at was simply Dad’s attempt at love.( 我意识到，如果我有一本“父亲对英语”的字典，我就会明白，我和朋友如此漫不经心地嘲笑的那些话只不过是爸爸的爱的尝试)”可知，作者当时没有理解父亲的爱，感到遗憾。故选B项。 D Nobel prize-winners, well-known authors, and famous scientists — you might think all these people were born to be creative. However, that’s not always the case. While well-known figures like Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein did their most significant work in their youth, famous American poet Robert Frost and English-born natural scientist Charles Darwin were known as “late bloomers”— people whose talents were not noticeable until later in life. This idea of “peaking” at different times inspired new research from the United States. “Many people believe that creativity is exclusively (独有地) associated with youth, but it really depends on what kind of creativity you’re talking about,” said Bruce Weinburg, a professor of economics at the University of Chicago and co-author of the study. According to the study, published earlier this month in the journal De Economist, there are two types of people: conceptual (概念的) and experimental thinkers. To reach this conclusion, researchers took the 31 previous winners of the Nobel Prize in economics and arranged them according to when they did their most significant work, to identify their creative peaks. Some peaked from ages 25-29. Classified as conceptual thinkers, these people think outside of the box, coming up with new ideas before they become used to the conventional way of doing things. The second creative peak came with economists in their 50s. These are experimental, thinkers who have been in their fields for a long time. This allows them to learn from errors and experiment with different processes, before eventually finding new solutions. “Whether you hit your creative peak early or late in your career depends on whether you have a conceptual or experimental approach,” said Weinburg. He added that their study isn’t limited to economics, saying it can apply to other creative subjects. So if you’re struggling to come up with new ideas, don’t panic. Your creative peak may be yet to arrive. 32. Why is famous American poet Robert Frost mentioned in paragraph 2? A. To indicate that some people showed their gifts in their late years. B. To indicate that some people showed their talents in their early years. C To indicate that some people made great achievements with others’ help. D. To indicate that some people did their most significant work through efforts. 33. How did the researchers draw the conclusion: there are two types of creative people? A. By referring to some data. B. By doing some experiments. C. By interviewing some creative people. D. By adopting the means of logic reasoning. 34. What can we learn about conceptual thinkers? A. They have been in their fields for a very long time. B. They prefer to use the conventional way of doing things. C. They are often young and think outside of the box. D. They learn from errors and experiment with different processes. 35. What does Weinberg probably agree with? A. It’s difficult to find one’s talent in later years. B. People’s great creativity can come at any time. C. Most people take a conceptual approach when thinking. D. Conceptual thinkers could be more successful in the art field. 【答案】32. A 33. A 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了科学家一项新的研究，人们可以被分为概念型思考者和试验型思考者，而这两种人会在不同的时期达到顶峰。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“While well-known figures like Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein did their most significant work in their youth, famous American poet Robert Frost and English-born natural scientist Charles Darwin were known as “late bloomers”—people whose talents were not noticeable until later in life.(毕加索和爱因斯坦等著名人物在年轻时就完成了他们最重要的工作，而美国著名诗人罗伯特·弗罗斯特和英国出生的自然科学家查尔斯·达尔文则被称为“大器晚成者”——他们的才华直到晚年才被发现)”可推知，美国著名诗人罗伯特·弗罗斯特在第二段中被提到是为了表明有些人在晚年展示了他们的天赋。故选A项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“To reach this conclusion, researchers took the 31 previous winners of the Nobel Prize in economics and arranged them according to when they did their most significant work, to identify their creative peaks.(为了得出这一结论，研究人员选取了31位前诺贝尔经济学奖得主，并根据他们最重要工作的时间对他们进行了排列，以确定他们的创造力高峰)”可推知，研究者们参考了31位诺贝尔经济学奖得主最重要工作完成的时间的数据，进行分析后得出了结论。故选A项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“Some peaked from ages 25-29. Classified as conceptual thinkers, these people think outside of the box, coming up with new ideas before they become used to the conventional way of doing things.(有些人在25-29岁达到顶峰。这些人被归类为概念性思考者，他们会跳出思维定式，在习惯传统的做事方式之前就会想出新点子)”可知，我们能从概念性思考者身上得知他们通常很年轻，能跳出固有的思维模式。故选C项。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“He added that their study isn’t limited to economics, saying it can apply to other creative subjects. So if you’re struggling to come up with new ideas, don’t panic. Your creative peak may be yet to arrive.(他补充说，他们的研究不仅限于经济学，还可以应用于其他创造性学科。所以，如果你正在努力想出新点子，不要惊慌。你的创造力巅峰可能还未到来)”可知，温伯格可能同意的是人的伟大创造力随时都可能产生。故选B项。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分) 阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。 So many things can keep you from seeing your loved ones in person. Fortunately, the people we miss are often only a phone call or text message away. But if you prefer typed out messages to verbal ones, you may want to reconsider. ___36___ A new study found that communication interactions that included voice, like a phone call, created stronger social bonds than communication through typing, like text messaging or email. ___37___ In one, they asked 200 people to make predictions about what it would be like to reconnect with an old friend by email or by phone. And then they assigned people at random to do one or the other.___38___ “People reported they did form a significantly stronger bond with their old friend on the phone than email, and they did not feel more awkward,” study co-author Amit Kumar, an assistant professor of marketing at the McCombs School of Business, said in a statement. In another experiment, the researchers had strangers connect by either texting, talking over video chat, or talking using only audio. They found that both forms of voice communication—whether video or audio only—made the strangers feel significantly more connected than when they communicated via text. Sabrina Romanoff, a Harvard trained clinical psychologist, says people tend to text or email instead of calling because of convenience,___39___Romanoff says that in reality, texting can make it hard to determine the true meaning behind a conversation. ___40___ .“Each party is present, and therefore, able to understand the meaning behind the content without ruminating on the endless possible meanings behind words and punctuation.” A. if they want to get connected with someone far away. B. According to science, if you want to feel more connected to the people you’re talking to, you should call them instead of texting. C. Although people expected that a phone call would be more awkward, hearing someone’s voice actually made the experience better. D. as they see it as a controlled form of communication where they can “express information exactly without unexpected interruptions by the other person.” E. As far as some people are concerned, making a call can save us more time than texting. F. In the study, researchers used various experiments to measure connectedness. G. “A phone call is actually more convenient when considering the net effects of the message,” she explains. 【答案】36. B 37. F 38. C 39. D 40. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。向我们介绍了科研人员研究发现，打电话或视频等有声音的联系比文字更能让社交有效，无论老朋友还是陌生人。 【36题详解】 前文“So many things can keep you from seeing your loved ones in person. Fortunately, the people we miss are often only a phone call or text message away. But if you prefer typed out messages to verbal ones, you may want to reconsider. (很多事情都可以阻止你亲眼见到你所爱的人。幸运的是，我们错过的人通常只有一个电话或短信离开。但如果你更喜欢打信息而不是口头信息，你可能想要重新考虑。)”指出生活中有许多事情阻止我们见到我们所爱的人们。但是现代科技解决了那些问题，并强调有声交流的效果更好。B项“科学研究表明，如果你想和你与之交谈的人们保持亲近感，你应该给他们打电话，而不是发送文字消息。” 符合语境，内容契合上文，使用研究结果强调有声交流的益处，并引出下文内容的介绍。故选B项。 【37题详解】 下文“In one, they asked 200 people to make predictions about what it would be like to reconnect with an old friend by email or by phone .And then they assigned people at random to do one or the other. (在其中一项中，他们让200人对通过电子邮件或电话与老朋友重新建立联系的感觉做出预测，然后随机安排人做其中一项或另一项。)”可知，下文讲述了其中一项实验，因此推断空处应是说明不止一项实验，F项“在这项研究中，研究人员使用了各种实验来测量连通性。”符合语境，选项中的the study指代前一段提到的“A new study”。故选F。 【38题详解】 上文“In one, they asked 200 people to make predictions about what it would be like to reconnect with an old friend by email or by phone. And then they assigned people at random to do one or the other.(在其中一项中，他们让200人对通过电子邮件或电话与老朋友重新建立联系的感觉做出预测，然后随机安排人做其中一项或另一项。)”可知，研究人员要求200人预测通过Email和打电话与老朋友取得联系，之后让他们去随机用其中一种去验证。C项“尽管人们认为打电话会更尴尬，但听到别人的声音实际上会让体验更好。”符合语境，表明实验结果，虽然人们预期打电话可能会打扰到对方，但听到对方声音真是一种更好的体验。契合上文，符合开头的实验结论。故选C项。 【39题详解】 前文“Sabrina Romanoff, a Harvard trained clinical psychologist, says people tend to text or email instead of calling because of convenience (哈佛大学临床心理学家萨布丽娜·罗曼诺夫(Sabrina Romanoff)说，人们倾向于发短信或发电子邮件，而不是打电话，因为方便)”阐述了人们倾向于发短信或者发邮件的理由是方便，下文“Romanoff says that in reality, texting can make it hard to determine the true meaning behind a conversation. (罗曼诺夫说，实际上，发短信会让人很难确定谈话背后的真正含义。)”讲述罗曼诺夫又介绍了发短信的缺点，因此前后文是转折关系，空处与前文意思一致，说明喜欢发短信的原由，D项“因为他们认为这是一种可控的交流方式，他们可以‘准确地表达信息，而不会被对方意想不到的打断。’”符合语境，承接上文，与前文convenience是因果关系，故选D。 【40题详解】 前文“Romanoff says that in reality, texting can make it hard to determine the true meaning behind a conversation. (罗曼诺夫说，实际上，发短信会让人很难确定谈话背后的真正含义。)”讲述在现实生活中，发短信会让人很难判断谈话背后的真实意思，说明发送文字消息的弊端，下文““Each party is present, and therefore, able to understand the meaning behind the content without ruminating on the endless possible meanings behind words and punctuation.” (“每一方都在场，因此能够理解内容背后的含义，而不必反复思考单词和标点符号背后无尽的可能含义。”)”介绍了打电话的优点。因此推断G项“她解释说：‘考虑到信息的净影响，实际上打电话更方便。’”承上启下，对比说明通电话和短消息相比的优点。故选G项。 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 was out in my fields, spade in hand, planting trees this morning.

Everyone knew Roy as he was a top student in the town. He was of my age, but he lost his parents in an accident at the age of 8. So he lived alone and delivered newspapers to support himself and his education. Every time he delivered newspapers to our home, he wore a broad smile on his face and greeted my mom gently. My mom was greatly surprised when she knew his daily routine. He got up every morning by 5 o’clock and walked 5 kilometers from where he lived to the newspaper office to collect the newspapers. By 6:00, he carried 50 pieces of newspapers — more than 5 kilograms and walked 3 kilometers back. After sending the newspapers, he rushed another 3 kilometers home to cook a simple breakfast before hurrying to school. This morning, seeing he left hurriedly in a strong wind, my mom and I decided to do something for him. After school, I waited for him at the school gate and told him that my mom would like to invite him to our home. When he asked why, I replied, “You will know soon!” Thinking for a short while, he followed me to my home nearby. It was possible that he assumed my mom would continue to subscribe to the newspaper. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为100个左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 My mom stood at the door, waiting for us. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Seeing the bike in front of him, he couldn’t hold back his tears. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 My mom stood at the door, waiting for us.

As my mom filled up his plate, he said it brought back memories of happy days spent with his parents. Later, as he prepared to leave, I stepped inside and brought out a new bike. “This is for you,” my mom said with a smile. Seeing the bike in front of him, he couldn’t hold back his tears. With tears of gratitude rolling down his cheeks, he kept saying, “Thank you so much.” My mom wiped his tears and put her arm around his shoulders. We told him we were shocked to learn that he had to walk 11 miles before going to school. So we hoped this bike would make his life easier. We helped him because we admired him. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者小时候住在镇子上，罗伊和作者一样大，但是在一次事故中失去了父母。他靠送报纸来维持自己的生活和学业，每天都要走很远的路。于是作者一家送了一辆自行车给罗伊，罗伊十分感动。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我妈妈站在门口等我们”可知，第一段可描写罗伊来作者家吃饭的情景以及作者家送罗伊自行车。 ②由第二段首句内容“看到前面的自行车，他忍不住流下了眼泪”可知，第二段可描写罗伊表达感谢以及作者感悟。 2.续写线索：邀请罗伊吃饭——送自行车——罗伊感动——罗伊感谢——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 犹豫：hesitate/hang back 看见：see/spot 走进去：step inside/get into 情绪类 快乐：happy/joyful 吃惊：shocked/astonished 【点睛】[高分句型1] As my mom filled up his plate, he said it brought back memories of happy days spent with his parents.

One reason is buffet lunches—they need no explanation. Business dinners that last for hours also encourage people to eat too much. Dinner parties with friends are also culprits, as being in a good mood gives you an appetite. Eating too quickly because you are busy can also be a problem. It takes 20 minutes for the brain to receive a warning of overeating, so wolfing lunch in 10 minutes is not a good idea. Finally, skipping meals due to work pressure can lead to binge-eating in the evening. What’s wrong about overeating? “Taking in half the food that your stomach can contain is enough for you to survive. Eating too much places a burden on your organs and causes many health problems,” heath education expert Hong Shaoguang said. Health risks: Obesity: Countless scientific studies have proved that obesity causes heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, arteriosclerosis and other complications. Gastropathy: Overeating can cause severe indigestion even damage the gastrointestinal tract. Fatigue: Overeating slows brain reactions and accelerates the brain’s aging process. Cancer: Japanese scientists have found that overeating can switch off a gene that combats cancer. Dementia: Japanese experts have found that 30 to 40 percent of senile dementia patients overate when they were younger. 21. Which will not encourage people to eat too much according to the text? A. Being in a good mood. B. Business dinners lasting for hours. C. Too delicious food. D. Eating too quickly. 22 How much food is enough for survival according to Hong Shaoguang? A. Half the food that your stomach can contain. B. As much food as your stomach can contain. C. More food than your stomach can contain. D. A quarter of th food that your stomach can contain. 23. Which is not the health problem of overeating? A. Heart disease. B. Indigestion C. Looking older D. Cancer B The Mattel toy company created a new Barbie doll with the famous British scientist Jane Goodall as its model. The company issued the new doll this week, the latest member of the Barbie toymaker’s “Inspiring Women”. Mattel said the doll, made from used plastic, honored Goodall’s deep research on chimpanzees (黑猩猩) in Tanzania and her efforts to protect the wild animals. The doll was dressed in a light brown shirt and shorts, much like that seen in many images of Goodall at work in Africa. It also came with a notebook, telescopes and another doll modeled on the real chimp Goodall named David Greybeard. He was the first chimpanzee with which she built trust in Tanzania’s Gombe Stream National Park. The relationship permitted her to study the animals extremely closely. “I wanted a doll to be me even before this idea came up,” the 88- year-old scientist said. She praised Mattel for developing new Barbies standing for a wider number of working women. Lisa McKnight agreed. She is the Executive Vice President and Global Head of Barbie and Dolls for Mattel. She said, “We hope that this collection inspires kids to learn more about green careers and how they can protect the planet, and act out stories about environmental protection through doll play.” Goodall started her research in what is now Tanzania in the 1960s. She produced much research on wild chimpanzees over the years. She recorded how they made and used tools, lived in communities, and showed a high level of emotional understanding. Goodall wanted to teach children that if they wanted to have a good effect on the changing environment, they must act. Goodall said, “Hope is about action on climate change, loss of wildlife, unfriendly lifestyles and pollution. We reach out to others because there are people working on each one of these problems…” 24. What do we know about the doll modeled on Goodall? A. It was created by Goodall. B. It looked like a chimpanzee. C. It was in honour of Goodall. D. It was named David Greybeard. 25. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The habits of chimpanzees. B. Goodall’s career experiences. C. The importance of studying wild animals. D. The bad living conditions of chimpanzees. 26. What did Goodall call on children to do in the last paragraph? A. Keep healthy. B. Raise questions. C. Adapt to the environment. D. Protect the natural environment. 27. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Jane Goodall Gets Her Own Doll B. A New Doll Is About to Go on Sale C. Women Should Have Green Careers D. Environmentally Friendly Action Is a Must C “Have you checked the oil in the car?” my father used to say to me, his way of “Hello, hope you are well.” Sometimes our phone calls would begin with a question about the oil and end with a question about the oil, with not a lot in between. Fathers have a lot of love to give, but it’s often offered by means of practical advice. In my experience: It’s mostly about my car. “How’s the car running?” “Did you get it serviced?” My car — an old green Toyota Corona bought for $500 — was where my father showed his love. Why can’t we fathers just say “I love you” or “It’s great to see you”? The point is: that’s exactly what we are saying. You just have to translate from the language that is Fatherlish. Listen closely enough and the phrase “I love you” can be heard in the slightly longer “I could come around Saturday and repair your chair.” The words “You made my life better from the moment you were born” may be hardly heard, but the main meaning is there in the more common “I’ll hold the ladder while you get the leaves down from the roof.” When I was 17, I went on my first road trip — a friend and I in that old car. My father stood on the corner on a cold morning to say goodbye. “Highways are dangerous,” he said, “so don’t try overtaking anything faster than a horse and buggy. And take a break every two hours. And every time you stop for gas, you really should check the oil.” At the time we thought his speech was pretty funny and would sing “horse-and-buggy” every time I tried to overtake some other speeding cars.

While well-known figures like Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein did their most significant work in their youth, famous American poet Robert Frost and English-born natural scientist Charles Darwin were known as “late bloomers”— people whose talents were not noticeable until later in life. This idea of “peaking” at different times inspired new research from the United States. “Many people believe that creativity is exclusively (独有地) associated with youth, but it really depends on what kind of creativity you’re talking about,” said Bruce Weinburg, a professor of economics at the University of Chicago and co-author of the study. According to the study, published earlier this month in the journal De Economist, there are two types of people: conceptual (概念的) and experimental thinkers. To reach this conclusion, researchers took the 31 previous winners of the Nobel Prize in economics and arranged them according to when they did their most significant work, to identify their creative peaks. Some peaked from ages 25-29. Classified as conceptual thinkers, these people think outside of the box, coming up with new ideas before they become used to the conventional way of doing things. The second creative peak came with economists in their 50s. These are experimental, thinkers who have been in their fields for a long time. This allows them to learn from errors and experiment with different processes, before eventually finding new solutions. “Whether you hit your creative peak early or late in your career depends on whether you have a conceptual or experimental approach,” said Weinburg. He added that their study isn’t limited to economics, saying it can apply to other creative subjects. So if you’re struggling to come up with new ideas, don’t panic. Your creative peak may be yet to arrive. 32. Why is famous American poet Robert Frost mentioned in paragraph 2? A. To indicate that some people showed their gifts in their late years. B. To indicate that some people showed their talents in their early years. C. To indicate that some people made great achievements with others’ help. D. To indicate that some people did their most significant work through efforts. 33. How did the researchers draw the conclusion: there are two types of creative people? A. By referring to some data. B. By doing some experiments. C. By interviewing some creative people. D. By adopting the means of logic reasoning. 34. What can we learn about conceptual thinkers? A. They have been in their fields for a very long time. B. They prefer to use the conventional way of doing things. C. They are often young and think outside of the box. D. They learn from errors and experiment with different processes. 35. What does Weinberg probably agree with? A. It’s difficult to find one’s talent in later years. B. People’s great creativity can come at any time. C. Most people take a conceptual approach when thinking. D. Conceptual thinkers could be more successful in the art field. 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。 So many things can keep you from seeing your loved ones in person. Fortunately, the people we miss are often only a phone call or text message away. But if you prefer typed out messages to verbal ones, you may want to reconsider. ___36___ A new study found that communication interactions that included voice, like a phone call, created stronger social bonds than communication through typing, like text messaging or email. ___37___ In one, they asked 200 people to make predictions about what it would be like to reconnect with an old friend by email or by phone. And then they assigned people at random to do one or the other.___38___ “People reported they did form a significantly stronger bond with their old friend on the phone than email, and they did not feel more awkward,” study co-author Amit Kumar, an assistant professor of marketing at the McCombs School of Business, said in a statement. In another experiment, the researchers had strangers connect by either texting, talking over video chat, or talking using only audio. They found that both forms of voice communication—whether video or audio only—made the strangers feel significantly more connected than when they communicated via text. Sabrina Romanoff, a Harvard trained clinical psychologist, says people tend to text or email instead of calling because of convenience,___39___Romanoff says that in reality, texting can make it hard to determine the true meaning behind a conversation. ___40___ .“Each party is present, and therefore, able to understand the meaning behind the content without ruminating on the endless possible meanings behind words and punctuation.” A. if they want to get connected with someone far away. B. According to science, if you want to feel more connected to the people you’re talking to, you should call them instead of texting. C. Although people expected that a phone call would be more awkward, hearing someone’s voice actually made the experience better. D. as they see it as a controlled form of communication where they can “express information exactly without unexpected interruptions by the other person.” E. As far as some people are concerned, making a call can save us more time than texting. F. In the study, researchers used various experiments to measure connectedness. G. “A phone call is actually more convenient when considering the net effects of the message,” she explains. 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 was out in my fields, spade in hand, planting trees this morning.

Everyone knew Roy as he was a top student in the town. He was of my age, but he lost his parents in an accident at the age of 8. So he lived alone and delivered newspapers to support himself and his education. Every time he delivered newspapers to our home, he wore a broad smile on his face and greeted my mom gently. My mom was greatly surprised when she knew his daily routine. He got up every morning by 5 o’clock and walked 5 kilometers from where he lived to the newspaper office to collect the newspapers. By 6:00, he carried 50 pieces of newspapers — more than 5 kilograms and walked 3 kilometers back. After sending the newspapers, he rushed another 3 kilometers home to cook a simple breakfast before hurrying to school. This morning, seeing he left hurriedly in a strong wind, my mom and I decided to do something for him. After school, I waited for him at the school gate and told him that my mom would like to invite him to our home. When he asked why, I replied, “You will know soon!” Thinking for a short while, he followed me to my home nearby. It was possible that he assumed my mom would continue to subscribe to the newspaper. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为100个左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 My mom stood at the door, waiting for us. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Seeing the bike in front of him, he couldn’t hold back his tears. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
