B My family had a room that we called the Library,but even back then I knew it was just our dining room with a few bookshelves around a small table.When I was a kid,I was told that all these books are precious things-they must never be folded,bent,or broken.Any dirty marks or notes on a book are banned and our reading should always be a clean activity since it's what separates us from the beasts.Preservation of all texts was the most important thing in the world. Years later,when I began reading everything I could in my early teens,I tiptoed into the Library one day and discovered,to my horror,that all the books were still extremely new.It was row after row,shelf after shelf.Something clicked and I knew I had found a horrible secret about my family:they had bought these books to be displayed like jewellery,rather than to be read. In that moment I knew that all those silly rules around reading and books were dead wrong and that there was nothing sadder in this world than an unused book-clean,without any trace of the reader at all. Now here's the secret:good reading is messy reading.If I want the kind of novel that gets deep into my bones,the sort of non-fiction mystery that stays with me years after the fact,then I must bring sticky notes(便利贴)and let my books get scuffed(磨损)along the way.Ishould always walk away from a book with visible progress of my reading. After years of treating my books as if they ought to be preserved in a museum,I now believe that you should honour the books by breaking them.Read them all so messily!Truly read the books,anytime and anywhere,no matter how much we fold them,bend them,or tear them!Throw them into your backpack or leave them open by the side of your bed.Don't worry about stains or tom edges after years of reading.That is what a book is.That is what a book is for. 24.Where did the author's family store their books? A.In the study. B.In the dining room. C.In the bedroom. D.In the living room. 25.What does the author imply about his family's book collection? A.It was piled in a mess. B.It was mainly for decoration. C.It was large and various. D.It was kept for a good price. 26.What does the underlined part "Something clicked"mean? A.I clicked the mouse B.I suddenly felt puzzled C.Something made a sound D.Something occurred to me 27.Which opinion may the author agree on? A.Good books are valuable jewellery. B.Books are the ladder of human progress. C.Read thousands of books regardless of their state. D.Protect books as they're the source of knowledge. C Theatre has a culture of its own and is a powerful medium for exposing problems.Plays are sometimes attempting to spread awareness about problems like racism,sexism,etc.These plays help our society better function because they cause individuals to realize what is happening and take action.It builds a passion in people since they realize what is really important to them and that they have the power to make a change. The main reason people go to theatre or even attend a show is to discover themselves.This means they want to come to a self-understanding and fulfilment.Human nature leads us to be original and theatre is the perfect outlet for people to be original and to understand themselves. For many people,theatre also gives a purpose for life.Human beings naturally want to express themselves,and theatre is the most expressive art form."This is why theatre is important: because it presents a reflective vision of a life that is vastly more fascinating than the one in which we're stuck."-Lemony Snicket. Live theatre is as significant today as it was millennia (ago when our distant ancestors would gather around the fire to hear stories.Today we still gather in groups to hear stories being told,listen to music and put our demons in perspective.As a species,we have always tumed to theatrical presentations to explore the unknown and explain our fears and concemns in an entertaining way.Theatre can also simply entertain,but there are few light "entertainments"which don't include an underlying message. Today we are surrounded by other options for entertainment,like film,video,and online streaming.But theatre is a very different experience.While cinema is pre-recorded,perfected by thousand shots of the same scene and editing effects,one might say what you see in theatre is. raw,more organic.You surely can't make Avengers:Endgame the same in a live event.But,the connection of the actor to the audience that makes lago's speech,or Hamlet's speech what it is, is just not the same on film. 28.What can theatre bring to society? A.Solutions of racial issues. B.Development of media. C.Fulfilment of individuals. D.Exposure of social problems. 29.Why did the author quote the words from Lemony Snicket? A.To show the purpose of life B.To express the nature of humans. C.To strengthen the function of theatre. D.To present a different point of view. 30.What can we know from the last paragraph? A.People tend to watch films than plays. B.Cinema and theatre have a lot in common. C.Films feature an original way of art. D.Theatres bring people live experience. 31.What does the passage mainly talk about? A.The types of theatre. B.The power of theatre. C.The challenges of theatre. D.The evolution of theatre. 0 Orangutans (are known for an impressive skill of engineering:They carefully weave an intricate nest from branches in the forest canopy (daily for cozy nights and cool midday naps. Some nests,particularly those made by older and more experienced orangutans,have pillows,blankets,and sometimes even a roof made by broad leaves-and all must be well protected and strong enough to hold 100-plus pounds of sleeping gorilla. Now a study published in Animal Behavior reveals that young orangutans perfectly complete this vital task in seven years."The fact that it takes them so long to acquire this skill shows us that it's much more complex than we realized before,"says the study's lead author Andrea Permana,,a primatologist(灵长类动物学家)at the University of Warwick in England To understand this behavior,researchers followed 45 orangutans at Indonesia's Gunung Leuser National Park for 13 years.Permana found that orangutans begin to show interest in nest building as young as six months.These young orangutans practise the task daily during their youth,watching their mothers to learn building techniqucs.As they get older,their strength and skillfulness improve,letting them more successfully make branches into the structure. Researchers have seen orangutans build their first functional night nests at three years old,but they still tend to sleep alongside their mothers until about age seven. 英语试卷第4页（共8页） These nests offer more than just cover from tigers and other predators;sleep itself is a crucial resource as well.All great apes(类人猿）construct nests to some degree,.and studies show that orangutans sleep deeper and longer than non-nest-building primates.This sound sleep may tell us how nests played a part in our own ancestors'brain evolution because human ancestors and orangutan ancestors both developed nest building.Permana says:"The more rested you are,then you can be more innovative.Maybe you're more curious,your memory is better,and you can solve problems better.The knock-on effects of that on the success of our ancestors is pretty undoubtable." 32.What can we know about the nests built by more experienced orangutans? A.They do not have roofs. B.They are made of broad leaves. C.They are relatively well-equipped. D.They can hold more than 100 gorillas. 33.What can we learn about young orangutans? A.They are required to build nests. B.They begin building nests at six months. C.They imitate their moms to build nests. D.They sleep with their moms until seven. 34.What can be inferred from Permana's words? A.Ancestors benefit a lot from sleeping well. B.Humans can be curious about nest building. C.Innovation can make people solve problems. D.People consider nest building as a complex skill. 35.What can be the best title for the passage? A.Great Apes:Ancestor of Nest Building. B.Improved sleep:Benefit of Nest Building. C.Smart Orangutans:Master of Nest Building. D.Technical Progress:Evolution of Nest Building. 第二节（共5小题：每小题25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，选项中有两项为多 余选项。 How to Make Better Decisions Having too many choices can cause anxiety,but you can overcome decidophobia(). 36.Shall I,shan'tI?When you're feeling overwhelmed(不知所措)with possibilities,, it's often easier to do nothing.That's not a long-term solution.so try to focus on the really important issues and avoid sweating the small stuff.Be organized in your daily life-decide what you're going to wear the night before,eat the same breakfast every day,and know when you're going to do certain chores.That cuts down the number of options you have to weigh at any one time. Make it manageable.Follow a series of steps.First,write down the advantages and disadvantages of different options.37.Consider how you feel about them,instead. Abandon all but the three or four most realistic courses of action.Next,gather information that will help with the decision,then seek advice from just a few people.38. 英语试卷第5页（共8页） Set deadlines.To avoid decision paralysis(决策无能)，set yourself a firm but realistic date by which you need to have picked your preferred option.39. Sleep on it.When you think you've come to the right conclusion,take a holiday or even just a day to think about something different before you actually commit. Trust yourself.40.To give yourself confidence,list the decisions you've made in the past that have worked out well and consider whether choices you consider bad were really that disastrous. A.Cut down your decisions B.Make all possible decisions C.This will also prevent you from being in a dilemma D.Making a decision is happy,but you're the one who is suitable E.Don't simply think about the number of points for and against F.It's often helpful if they're independent,rather than friends or family G.Making a decision is scary,but you're the one who knows yourself best 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 I first picked up a racquet()and ball when I was four.Jim Joyce,my first tennis coach, was teaching me to play and think 41.

Five and a half hours'later,we found the tennis court.Sadly,the elderly lady told my dad that the dog hadn't been around today yet for the food was still there.Hearing that,Dad looked around the tennis court.It had long been deserted and overgrown with weeds.But he noticed a path hidden in the bush. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右： 2.请按如下格式作答。 Without hesitation,Dad then led me to search around for Max.
