(二)阅读下列短文,根据短文内容,从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C、D四个选项中,选择最佳选项。 B Maggie, Travis and Lucy’s science teacher set a special test for them. They had to work out different kinds of problems within limited time to get out of a locked room. For the past hour, Maggie, Travis and Lucy had been locked inside a room decorated like a mad scientist’s laboratory. Together they decoded (破译) a secret language and solved a difficult maths problem. The last challenge, however, stopped them. The key to the door was trapped in a block of ice. “We have to melt (融化) the ice ,” Lucy said. “But there’s nothing hot here!” Maggie complained Travis pulled off his sweatshirt and wrapped (裹) it around the ice. “This keeps me warm,” he reasoned. A few minutes passed by, but the ice didn’t melt. “Isn’t cloth an insulator (隔热材料)?” Lucy asked. She tried to remember what she had learned in science class. “Heat always flows from warm objects to cold ones. The heat in the air will finally melt the ice, but we need to find something that will help heat move from the air to the ice more quickly.” “What about glass?” Maggie asked. “Glass is also an insulator. It keeps heat from moving,” Lucy said. Then she noticed a large metal tray (金属托盘) across the room. “This might work!” Lucy put the block of ice onto the tray. Everybody’s eyes moved between the clock and the ice. Would they be able to free the key in time? At last, the key lay in the water on the tray. The three friends rushed out of the room in the last minute. “We made it!” Travis cheered. “Good thing you learned in science class!” 24. What’s the last challenge in the special test? A. Decorating the laboratory. B. Taking out the key trapped in the ice. C. Solving a maths problem. D. Learning a secret language. 25. Why did Travis pull off his sweatshirt? A. He thought his sweatshirt could help melt the ice. B. He felt’ so hot that he took the sweatshirt off. C. He wanted to leave the sweatshirt in the room. D. He disliked his sweatshirt. 26. What did the three friends learn from the test? A. The meaning of saving time. B. The ways of finding keys to the door. C. The value of knowledge learned in class. D. The importance of solving maths problems. C Peer tutoring (同伴导师) is one of the most helpful tools to use during your school years. Sometimes you will not have all the answers and that you may need help from time to time. There is probably no better way to get some help than that from your classmates. Peer tutors are understanding, helpful, and especially honest enough to help you out through any difficulties that you could be experiencing. Expect active criticism (批评) This will probably be the most uncomfortable part. Tutors are strict with you not because they want to be mean and ruin your existence. They simply want you to be one of the best to your best ability. The only way for them to ensure this is to be completely honest with you. Accept that you are not perfect and that you will make mistakes. Feel lucky that your peer tutor is pointing out your mistakes and giving you a chance to repair them before your teacher has a chance to fix your grades for them. Expect change You will have a changed view on your work and your method of completing it. Every tutor has a different learning style and teaching style that is unique to them, but it is up to you to use what they teach you to your best ability. If a tutor teaches you how to solve a math problem in a way that makes sense to you, but is also different from what you have learned in class, you will have to use that method because it works for you. If a tutor polishes your paper and advises you to use more active voice, you will find your work in the future to change completely. Like I mentioned, change is good. Embrace it! Expect discipline (纪律) (sometimes) Sometimes, we don’t want to push ourselves to work hard. We are human, it happens. It is nothing to be ashamed of. However, if a tutor notices that you have been slacking off (松弛), do not be surprised if they call you out on it. Your tutor wants you to use your ability to do the great things that they know you can do. Expect improvement Last but not least, expect to improve. Peer tutoring can be difficult and intimidating (令人胆怯的), but the goal is for you to improve as a student in a variety of areas. Once you practice what you have learned in the session, you will notice a great change in your grades and your learning ability. If you ask me, I think that is completely worthy of an A+. 27. According to the passage, we can know that peer tutors are ________. A. helpful and shy B. strict but patient C. understanding and honest D. creative but mean 28. What can we learn from the passage? A. Getting help from your teachers is the most important. B. A tutor’s active criticism means to be honest with you. C. We can learn the same thing in class and from the tutor. D. It’s a shame to be called out by the tutor when studying. 29. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To show us what peer tutoring is. B. To tell us how to change in our study. C. To encourage us to make improvement. D. To help us benefit from peer touring. D Do we still need cash? The days of holding cash in our hands may be numbered. The progress of technology and the development of new electronic devices in the world change how we make payments. With a swipe (刷) of a card or a click of a mobile-phone app, our wealth goes easily at our fingertips. Happiness also arises. As digital forms are increasingly replacing cash payments, some think that we should become fully cash-free. However, I do not believe we should move towards a completely cash-free society. One of the main problems of a cashless world is the risk of being cheated and the inconvenience that follows. Lots of hacking incidents have warned us that the digital world is not completely safe. Technology experts argue that our present state of technology is unable to provide a safe cashless environment that could stop bad people from entering the system and abusing (滥用) the personal data. In addition, many online shopping sites don’t have strong safety systems that would protect their clients’ (客户) personal information. Occasionally, when an account (账户) is “locked” because of a wrong activity, having cash in hand becomes important. In a cashless society, a client would find himself locked out of his account and unable to get his money until the case is solved. Going cash-free causes great inconvenience in this case. Another reason we should not move towards becoming completely cashless is that humans might become less thrifty (节俭的). Many studies have suggested that using cash for shopping causes a psychological (心理的) pain, so people are more careful with their spending. However, payments without cash ease that psychological pain somewhat. In fact, it could make us much more reckless (草率的). Supporters of a cashless! society argue that cash-free transactions (交易) could reduce worries in society, thus benefiting the poor. However, despite this promise, we cannot choose to ignore (忽略) the fact that a large percentage of poor people in the developing world depend on cash to buy everyday goods such as rice and vegetables. It does not make economic sense to have these transactions on a network. When viewed in totally, being cashless may not be as beneficial to the poor as it is made out to be. The idea of society finally going completely cashless is a very real, even an exciting one. However, to safeguard the interests of all users, it is better to build a less-cash society rather than a completely cashless one. 30. You will most probably feel happier when you ________. A. buy your favorite shoes with cash in a store B. click you payment app on your mobile phone C. pay for your everyday goods such as rice and vegetables D. get more benefits from cash-free transactions with poor people 31. The underlined word “ease” in Paragraph 3 are closest in meaning to ________. A increase B. interest C. reduce D. stop 32. The writer probably agrees that ________. A. cash-free provides people a more convenient environment B. the technology nowadays is safe enough for clients C. cashless society can stop people from abusing the data D. we should not move towards a completely cashless society 33. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage? A. Is Cash-Free Society Coming? B. Is Cashless Society Really Free? C. The Benefits of Cash-Free Society. D. Cashless Society Brings us Convenience. 第二部分(本部分共5题，共20分。) 四、阅读表达(第1-3每小题2分,第4小题4分,共10分) 阅读短文,根据短文内容回答问题。 Inventions have played an important role in shaping the world we live in today. From the wheel to the Internet, these inventions have changed the way we live, work and communicate. Let’s look back on some of the most important inventions in human history and their influence on society. One of the earliest and most influential inventions was the wheel. The wheel has been used for transportation, farming, and manufacturing (制造业) for thousands of years. It completely changed the way goods were transported and traded, making it easier and faster to move from one place to another. Another important invention was the printing press, which was invented by Johannes Gutenberg in the 15th century. The printing press made it possible to mass-produce books, leading to an explosion (爆炸) in the spread of knowledge. The steam engine (蒸汽机) is another important invention that transformed the world. It was invented by James Watt in the 18th century and enabled machines to be powered by steam, rather than water or animals. This led to the development of new industries such as iron production and transportation. The telephone is perhaps one of the most recognizable inventions of all time. Alexander Graham Bell’s invention in 1876 revolutionized communication, allowing people to talk to each other over long distances. It has become an important tool for businesses, governments, and individuals alike. Finally, the Internet is perhaps the most transformative invention of our time. Created by Tim Berners-Lee in the 1980s, it has changed the way we get information, connect with others, and business. It has also had a great influence on culture, entertainment, and social media. In conclusion inventions have played a key role in shaping human history and society. And inventors have created the great inventions. If we want to keep pushing the boundaries (界限) of what is possible, it is clear that our world needs more creative and talented inventors. 34. What is one of the earliest and most influential inventions according to the passage? ________________________________ 35. Who invented the steam engine? ________________________________ 36. How has the Internet changed our world? ________________________________ 37. Would you like to be an inventor? Why or why not? (Please give two reasons.) ________________________________ 五、文段表达(10分) 从下面两个题目中任选一题,根据所给提示,完成一篇不少于50词的英语文段写作。文中已给出内容不计入总词数。所给提示词语仅供选用。请不要写出你的校名和姓名。 38. 假定你是李华，你的英国笔友Tom因汉语太难学而考虑是否要退出汉语社团，特向你求助。请你用英文给他写一封电子邮件，给出你的观点，并谈谈学习汉语的好处和方法。 提示词语：drop out of (退出), useful, communicate with, read 提示问题：What’s your opinion? ·Why is it good for foreigners to learn Chinese? ·What do you advise Tom to do?

They had to work out different kinds of problems within limited time to get out of a locked room. For the past hour, Maggie, Travis and Lucy had been locked inside a room decorated like a mad scientist’s laboratory. Together they decoded (破译) a secret language and solved a difficult maths problem. The last challenge, however, stopped them. The key to the door was trapped in a block of ice. “We have to melt (融化) the ice ,” Lucy said. “But there’s nothing hot here!” Maggie complained. Travis pulled off his sweatshirt and wrapped (裹) it around the ice. “This keeps me warm,” he reasoned. A few minutes passed by, but the ice didn’t melt. “Isn’t cloth an insulator (隔热材料)?” Lucy asked. She tried to remember what she had learned in science class. “Heat always flows from warm objects to cold ones. The heat in the air will finally melt the ice, but we need to find something that will help heat move from the air to the ice more quickly.” “What about glass?” Maggie asked. “Glass is also an insulator. It keeps heat from moving,” Lucy said. Then she noticed a large metal tray (金属托盘) across the room. “This might work!” Lucy put the block of ice onto the tray. Everybody’s eyes moved between the clock and the ice. Would they be able to free the key in time? At last, the key lay in the water on the tray. The three friends rushed out of the room in the last minute. “We made it!” Travis cheered. “Good thing you learned in science class!” 24. What’s the last challenge in the special test? A.

Sometimes you will not have all the answers and that you may need help from time to time. There is probably no better way to get some help than that from your classmates. Peer tutors are understanding, helpful, and especially honest enough to help you out through any difficulties that you could be experiencing. Expect active criticism (批评) This will probably be the most uncomfortable part. Tutors are strict with you not because they want to be mean and ruin your existence. They simply want you to be one of the best to your best ability. The only way for them to ensure this is to be completely honest with you. Accept that you are not perfect and that you will make mistakes. Feel lucky that your peer tutor is pointing out your mistakes and giving you a chance to repair them before your teacher has a chance to fix your grades for them. Expect change You will have a changed view on your work and your method of completing it. Every tutor has a different learning style and teaching style that is unique to them, but it is up to you to use what they teach you to your best ability. If a tutor teaches you how to solve a math problem in a way that makes sense to you, but is also different from what you have learned in class, you will have to use that method because it works for you. If a tutor polishes your paper and advises you to use more active voice, you will find your work in the future to change completely. Like I mentioned, change is good. Embrace it! Expect discipline (纪律) (sometimes) Sometimes, we don’t want to push ourselves to work hard. We are human, it happens. It is nothing to be ashamed of. However, if a tutor notices that you have been slacking off (松弛), do not be surprised if they call you out on it. Your tutor wants you to use your ability to do the great things that they know you can do. Expect improvement Last but not least, expect to improve. Peer tutoring can be difficult and intimidating (令人胆怯的), but the goal is for you to improve as a student in a variety of areas. Once you practice what you have learned in the session, you will notice a great change in your grades and your learning ability. If you ask me, I think that is completely worthy of an A+. 27. According to the passage, we can know that peer tutors are ________. A. helpful and shy B. strict but patient C. understanding and honest D. creative but mean 28. What can we learn from the passage? A. Getting help from your teachers is the most important. B. A tutor’s active criticism means to be honest with you. C. We can learn the same thing in class and from the tutor. D. It’s a shame to be called out by the tutor when studying. 29. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To show us what peer tutoring is. B. To tell us how to change in our study. C To encourage us to make improvement. D. To help us benefit from peer touring. 【答案】27. C 28. B 29. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了同伴导师是你在校期间最有用的工具之一。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Peer tutors are understanding, helpful, and especially honest enough to help you out through any difficulties that you could be experiencing.”可知，同伴导师是善解人意和诚实的。故选C。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The only way for them to ensure this is to be completely honest with you.”可知，导师的主动批评，意味着对你坦诚。故选B。 【29题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“Peer tutoring (同伴导师) is one of the most helpful tools to use during your school years.…”和下文可知，本文主要介绍同伴导师是你在校期间最有用的工具之一，作者写这篇文章的目的是帮助我们从同伴导师中受益。故选D。 D Do we still need cash? The days of holding cash in our hands may be numbered. The progress of technology and the development of new electronic devices in the world change how we make payments. With a swipe (刷) of a card or a click of a mobile-phone app, our wealth goes easily at our fingertips. Happiness also arises. As digital forms are increasingly replacing cash payments, some think that we should become fully cash-free. However, I do not believe we should move towards a completely cash-free society. One of the main problems of a cashless world is the risk of being cheated and the inconvenience that follows. Lots of hacking incidents have warned us that the digital world is not completely safe. Technology experts argue that our present state of technology is unable to provide a safe cashless environment that could stop bad people from entering the system and abusing (滥用) the personal data. In addition, many online shopping sites don’t have strong safety systems that would protect their clients’ (客户) personal information. Occasionally, when an account (账户) is “locked” because of a wrong activity, having cash in hand becomes important. In a cashless society, a client would find himself locked out of his account and unable to get his money until the case is solved. Going cash-free causes great inconvenience in this case. Another reason we should not move towards becoming completely cashless is that humans might become less thrifty (节俭的). Many studies have suggested that using cash for shopping causes a psychological (心理的) pain, so people are more careful with their spending. However, payments without cash ease that psychological pain somewhat. In fact, it could make us much more reckless (草率的). Supporters of a cashless! society argue that cash-free transactions (交易) could reduce worries in society, thus benefiting the poor. However, despite this promise, we cannot choose to ignore (忽略) the fact that a large percentage of poor people in the developing world depend on cash to buy everyday goods such as rice and vegetables. It does not make economic sense to have these transactions on a network. When viewed in totally, being cashless may not be as beneficial to the poor as it is made out to be. The idea of society finally going completely cashless is a very real, even an exciting one. However, to safeguard the interests of all users, it is better to build a less-cash society rather than a completely cashless one. 30. You will most probably feel happier when you ________. A. buy your favorite shoes with cash in a store B. click you payment app on your mobile phone C. pay for your everyday goods such as rice and vegetables D. get more benefits from cash-free transactions with poor people 31. The underlined word “ease” in Paragraph 3 are closest in meaning to ________. A. increase B. interest C. reduce D. stop 32. The writer probably agrees that ________. A. cash-free provides people a more convenient environment B. the technology nowadays is safe enough for clients C. cashless society can stop people from abusing the data D. we should not move towards a completely cashless society 33. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage? A. Is Cash-Free Society Coming? B. Is Cashless Society Really Free? C. The Benefits of Cash-Free Society. D. Cashless Society Brings us Convenience. 【答案】30. B 31. C 32. D 33. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讨论了是否还需要现金以及不应该走向无现金社会的原因。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据“With a swipe (刷) of a card or a click of a mobile-phone app, our wealth goes easily at our fingertips. Happiness also arises.”可知，当你点击手机上的支付应用时，你很可能会感到更开心。故选B。 【31题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“Many studies have suggested that using cash for shopping causes a psychological (心理的) pain, so people are more careful with their spending. However, payments without cash ease that psychological pain somewhat.”可知，许多研究表明，用现金购物会导致心理上的痛苦，所以人们在消费时会更加小心。然而，没有现金的支付在某种程度上减少了这种心理上的痛苦。因此划线单词的意思是“减少”，与reduce意思一致。故选C。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据“However, I do not believe we should move towards a completely cash-free society.”可知，作者会同意我们不应该走向一个完全没有现金的社会。故选D。 【33题详解】 最佳标题题。通读全文可知，本文主要讨论了是否还需要现金以及不应该走向无现金社会的原因。因此文章的最佳标题是“无现金社会来了吗”。故选A。 第二部分(本部分共5题，共20分。) 四、阅读表达(第1-3每小题2分,第4小题4分,共10分) 阅读短文,根据短文内容回答问题。 Inventions have played an important role in shaping the world we live in today. From the wheel to the Internet, these inventions have changed the way we live, work and communicate. Let’s look back on some of the most important inventions in human history and their influence on society. One of the earliest and most influential inventions was the wheel. The wheel has been used for transportation, farming, and manufacturing (制造业) for thousands of years. It completely changed the way goods were transported and traded, making it easier and faster to move from one place to another. Another important invention was the printing press, which was invented by Johannes Gutenberg in the 15th century. The printing press made it possible to mass-produce books, leading to an explosion (爆炸) in the spread of knowledge. The steam engine (蒸汽机) is another important invention that transformed the world. It was invented by James Watt in the 18th century and enabled machines to be powered by steam, rather than water or animals. This led to the development of new industries such as iron production and transportation. The telephone is perhaps one of the most recognizable inventions of all time. Alexander Graham Bell’s invention in 1876 revolutionized communication, allowing people to talk to each other over long distances. It has become an important tool for businesses, governments, and individuals alike. Finally, the Internet is perhaps the most transformative invention of our time. Created by Tim Berners-Lee in the 1980s, it has changed the way we get information, connect with others, and business. It has also had a great influence on culture, entertainment, and social media. In conclusion, inventions have played a key role in shaping human history and society. And inventors have created the great inventions. If we want to keep pushing the boundaries (界限) of what is possible, it is clear that our world needs more creative and talented inventors. 34. What is one of the earliest and most influential inventions according to the passage? ________________________________ 35. Who invented the steam engine? ________________________________ 36.
