As one of the world’s top female freedivers, China’s Xu Tongtong’s answer is “beyond the limit”. Freediving, which originated in the Mediterranean region, is gaining popularity across the world. Divers rely only on their lung capacity to plunge as far as they can — either in open water in so-called “depth” events or in the swimming pool, simply called “pool” events. This year, the 35-year-old Xu has successfully dived 100 meters underwater in both constant weight (CWT) and constant weight bifin (CWTB) contests, becoming only the third female freediver on the planet to reach this depth. “When I dived 100 meters and grabbed the depth tag, I knew I had done it. I swam back to the surface with a smile,” Xu joyfully recalled of her historic feat. Hailing from East China’s Anhui province, Xu transitioned from swimming to freediving in 2014. “I was able to enter the three-dimensional world from a two-dimensional space. That is why I fell in love with freediving,” she told Xinhua in a recent exclusive interview. “The biggest attraction of freediving lies in facing up to and overcoming our fears. The training is a process of constantly knowing oneself,” said Xu, adding that darkness and the unknown are the main sources of fear for most people, while freediving can help overcome fear through science-based training. “Now my fears are gone; there is nothing to be afraid of anymore,” she said. After three months of training and competing this year in Panglao, an island town in the central Philippines province of Bohol, Xu decided to stay on the island to continue her training and coaching, a major source of income for this world-class freediver. Panglao, just an hour’s drive from the well-known tourist attraction Chocolate Hills, has developed into a major freediving hub due to its favorable sea conditions and pleasant tropical weather. 56. What is the maximum depth Xu Tongtong has dived without breathing equipment? A. 50 meters B. 75 meters C. 100 meters D. 125 meters 57. Where did freediving originate? A. China B. Mediterranean region C. Philippines D. Anhui province 58. What event is used to describe the competition held in open water for freediving? A. Pool event B. Constant weight bifin C. Depth event D. Swimming event 59. What did Xu Tongtong transition from to freediving? A. Gymnastics B. Swimming C. Diving D. Track and field 60. Where did Xu Tongtong continue her training and coaching after her competitions in Panglao? A. Bohol B. Chocolate Hills C. Anhui province D. Philippines 【答案】56. C 57. B 58. C 59. B 60. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要讲述了中国顶级女子自由潜水员徐童彤的成就及自由潜水运动。 【56题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“This year, the 35-year-old Xu has successfully dived 100 meters underwater in both constant weight (CWT) and constant weight bifin (CWTB) contests, becoming only the third female freediver on the planet to reach this depth.(今年，35岁的徐在恒重单蹼（CWT）和恒重双蹼下潜（CWTB）比赛中成功潜入100米水下，成为地球上第三位达到这一深度的女性自由潜水者)”可知，徐童彤在没有呼吸设备的情况下潜水的最大深度是100米。故选C。 【57题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Freediving, which originated in the Mediterranean region, is gaining popularity across the world.(自由潜水起源于地中海地区，在世界各地越来越受欢迎)”可知，自由潜水起源于地中海地区。故选B。 58题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Divers rely only on their lung capacity to plunge as far as they can — either in open water in so-called “depth” events or in the swimming pool, simply called “pool” events.(潜水员只依靠他们的肺活量尽可能地潜水——无论是在所谓的“深度”项目中的开阔水域，还是在游泳池中，简称为“游泳池”项目)”可知，在开阔水域举行的自由潜水比赛被称为“深度”比赛。故选C。 【59题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Hailing from East China’s Anhui province, Xu transitioned from swimming to freediving in 2014.(来自中国东部安徽省的徐于2014年从游泳过渡到自由潜水)”可知，徐童彤是由游泳转变为自由潜水者的。故选B。 【60题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“After three months of training and competing this year in Panglao, an island town in the central Philippines province of Bohol, Xu decided to stay on the island to continue her training and coaching, a major source of income for this world-class freediver.(今年，在菲律宾中部保和省的一个岛屿小镇邦劳进行了三个月的训练和比赛后，徐决定留在岛上继续她的训练和教练工作，这是这位世界级自由潜水者的主要收入来源)”可知，在菲律宾中部保和省的邦劳岛比赛后，徐童彤留在这里继续训练和执教。故选A。 C Have you ever heard someone say “You totally look like you’re a Jessica” or something similar? People seem to think that they know what kind of person a “Jessica” or a “Michael” looks like. Why is this? According to a study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, humans tend to associate people’s names with their appearances, and can even guess someone’s name based on how they look. Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel, collected thousands of photos of people’s faces. They labeled each photo with four names. Then, they asked volunteers to guess which of the four names was correct. The volunteers were able to guess the right name 38% of the time. It seems that certain characteristics of faces give them clues about someone’s name, Reader’s Digest reported. However, this only worked when the volunteers looked at names from their own culture. In addition, the volunteers were not as good at guessing the real names of people who used nicknames (昵称) more often than their real names. This may show that a person’s appearance is affected by their name only if they use it often. “This kind of face-name matching happens because of a process of self-fulfilling prophecy (预言), as we become what other people expect us to become,” Ruth Mayo from tile university told science news website EurekAlert. Earlier studies have shown that gender (性别) and race stereotypes (刻板印象) can affect a person’s appearance. The researchers believe there are also similar stereotypes about names. For example, people tend to think that men named Bob should have rounder faces because the word itself looks round. People may think that women named Rose are beautiful. They expect them to be “delicate” and “female”, just like the flower they are named for. 61. How is this article developed? A. By giving examples. B. By asking questions. C. By doing a research. D. By comparing different things. 62. What can be inferred from the study? A. Volunteers found it much easier to guess nicknames. B. Names have different associations in different cultures. C. Volunteers could guess the characteristics of the interviewees. D. The people in the photos and volunteers were from the same culture. 63. Why do some people look like their names according to Ruth Mayo? A. They want to please everyone around them. B. They don’t want to be different from others. C. They tend to become what others expect them to become. D. They like to copy famous people who share the same name. 64. What may be the best title for this passage? A. What determines our names B. Why we look like our names C. How we get rid of our stereotypes D. How stereotypes affect people’s looks 65. Where can you find this passage? A. a novel B. a poster C. a magazine D. an advertisement 【答案】61. C 62. B 63. C 64. B 65. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一项发表在《个性与社会心理学杂志》上的研究，人类倾向于将人的名字与外表联系起来，甚至可以根据外表“猜出某人的名字”。研究人员认为，人们对名字也有类似的刻板印象。 【61题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“According to a study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, humans tend to associate people’s names with their appearances, and can even guess someone’s name based on how they look.(根据发表在《人格与社会心理学杂志》上的一项研究，人类倾向于把人们的名字和他们的外表联系起来，甚至可以根据他们的长相猜出一个人的名字)”以及第三段“Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel, collected thousands of photos of people’s faces.(以色列耶路撒冷希伯来大学的研究人员收集了数千张人脸照片)”结合后文，可知，第二段介绍了研究结果，第三段起开始介绍研究过程以及如何得出的结果，所以是通过研究来写这篇文章。故选C。 【62题详解】 推理判断题。文章第二段提到“humans tend to associate people’s names with their appearance, and can even guess someone’s name based on how they look.(人们倾向于将人的名字和外表联系起来，甚至会通过别人的长相来猜测名字)”在第五段提到“this only worked when the volunteers looked at names from their own culture.In addition, the volunteers were not as good at guessing the real names of people who used nicknames (绰号) more often than their real names.(但这只在同种文化的人们之间才适用，而且在猜测别人的昵称时结果并不明显)”说明在不同的文化中名字有着不同的联系，选项B与文意相符，故选B。 【63题详解】 细节理解题。文章第六段“This kind of face-name matching happens “because of a process of self-realization, as we become what other people expect us to become(这种长相与名字匹配的发生是因为一个自我认知的过程——我们变成别人期望我们变成的样子)”提到，长相和姓名的关联度是因为“self-fulfilling prophecy”，即人们会长成别人希望他或她长成的样子，选项C与文意相符，故选C。 【64题详解】 主旨大意题。本文第一段通过疑问句 Why is this?引出话题，文章通过一项实验证明了一个很有意思的现象：人们倾向于通过相貌可以判断一个人的名字。研究人员认为这一现象主要是由于人们对一些名字形成了刻板的印象，而由于自证预言，我们会变成人们期待我们成为的样子。由此可知B选项“Why we look like our names(为什么我们长得像我们的名字)”符合，故选B。 【65题详解】 推理判断题。本文第一段通过疑问句 Why is this?引出话题，文章通过一项实验证明了一个很有意思的现象：人们倾向于通过相貌可以判断一个人的名字。以及根据第二段“According to a study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, humans tend to associate people’s names with their appearances, and can even guess someone’s name based on how they look.(根据发表在《人格与社会心理学杂志》上的一项研究，人类倾向于把人们的名字和他们的外表联系起来，甚至可以根据他们的长相猜出一个人的名字)”作者提出了一个话题，并通过应用一项研究来说明，可推知，应该是在杂志上看到本文。故选C。 D These days, being a teenager isn’t easy. Teens’ schedules often include doing after-school activities, sports practice, and homework, combined with working part-time for extra spending money or to contribute to household expenses, leaving many teens feeling overworked and stressed. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, close to a quarter of all U.S. high school students participate in the workforce. Most states place limits on the amount of hours teens can work, with 20 hours a week the standard limit. Research has shown that working over the standard limit negatively (负面地) affects teens in a variety of ways. Researchers published a recent report finding that working more than 20 hours a week during the school year leads to academic problems. The more hours a student works, the more likely their grades are to be lower. A study published in the Sociology of Education suggests that working more than 20 hours each week leads to higher dropout rates (辍学率). Another study in the American Educational Research Journal reports that students who work between 1 and 15 hours per week are more likely to complete high school; however, students who work more than 15 hours each week are more likely to drop out. Working over the standard limit also causes sleepiness, which can the cause of injuries and deaths related to inattention while driving. It has been considered as a major cause in at least 100,000 police-reported traffic crashes each year, killing more than 1,500 Americans and injuring another 71,000, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Young drivers aged 25 or under are involved in more than one-half of fall-asleep crashes. Work helps teens gain valuable experience,teaches them much needed skills, and provides necessary spending money—but basic rules should be followed. The student workweek should be limited to 20 hours or less and should not go past 10 p.m. on a school night. Safe and healthy youth work experiences don’t just happen—teens, parents, and employers must work together to make them happen. 66. What does the first paragraph tell us about today’s teens? A. They are too busy. B. They are quite happy. C. They have an exciting life. D. They have more confidence. 67. What percent of U.S. high school students work part-time according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics? A. About 15%. B. About 25%. C. About 35%. D. About 50%. 68. What is a possible result for a high schooler working two hours every day? A. Getting lower grades. B. Becoming a dropout. C. Finishing high school. D. Having sleep problems. 69. What does the underlined part “lead to” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Result from. B. Contribute to. C. Refer to. D. Give away. 70. What is the author’s attitude to the standard 20-hour-a-week limit? A. Unfavorable. B. Worried. C. Uncaring. D. Supportive. 【答案】66. A 67. B 68. C 69. B 70. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。在文章中作者引用了研究结果论述了青少年兼职工作时间不应该超过每周20小时。 【66题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Teens’ schedules often include doing after-school activities, sports practice, and homework, combined with working part-time for extra spending money or to contribute to household expenses, leaving many teens feeling overworked and stressed. (青少年的日程安排通常包括课外活动、体育锻炼和家庭作业，再加上兼职工作来赚取额外的钱或贡献家庭开支，这让许多青少年感到过度劳累和压力。)”可推知，第一段告诉我们今天的青少年太忙了，故选A。 【67题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, close to a quarter of all U.S. high school students participate in the workforce. (根据美国劳工统计局的数据，近四分之一的美国高中生参加了工作。)”可知，根据美国劳工统计局的数据，美国高中生兼职的比例接近25%。故选B。 【68题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Another study in the American Educational Research Journal reports that students who work between 1 and 15 hours per week are more likely to complete high school (《美国教育研究杂志》上的另一项研究报告称，每周工作1到15小时的学生更有可能完成高中学业)”可推知，每天工作两个小时的学生们更有可能完成高中学业。故选C。 【69题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“Researchers published a recent report finding that working more than 20 hours a week during the school year leads to academic problems. The more hours a student works, the more likely their grades are to be lower. (研究人员最近发表的一份报告发现，学年期间每周工作超过20小时会导致学业问题。学生学习的时间越长，他们的成绩就越可能较低。)”可知，划线短语所在句子表示“一项研究表明，每周工作超过20小时会导致更高的辍学率”，划线短语leads to的意思是“导致”，和contribute to意思相近，故选B。 【70题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文并结合最后一段中“The student workweek should be limited to 20 hours or less and should not go past 10 p.m. on a school night. (学生每周的工作时间应限制在20小时或更少，上课时间不应超过晚上10点。)”可推知，作者是支持这个标准限度的。故选D。 第Ⅱ卷 非选择题(共35分) 第四部分：写作(共两节，满分35分) 第一节 阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Near the small own of Grottoes, Virginia, a narrow dirt road goes from the house of Stephen Curry’s grandfather to the woods nearby. A far cry from the bright lights and shiny courts of the National Basketball Association (NBA), it was along this road that Stephen’s grandfather built a simple basket by attaching a piece of plastic to a telephone pole. Like his fathers, basketball star Dell Curry, Stephen spent many childhood hours playing on this muddy basketball court. He probably didn’t realise it at the time, but it was where he learnt to be creative and flexible as a player. You see, with every shot, the weak plastic backboard gave way. The bumps and rocks that lined the road under the basket caused the ball to bounce in all directions. Knowing where the ball would go wasn’t easy. He had to adjust his own playing style as a result. Shooting with great accuracy was another thing he learnt. Only shots perfectly aimed at its centre went into the heavy, thick basket. In this way, practising day in and day out helped Stephen sharpen his skills. Despite his father’s successful career, Stephen was thought by many people, including his high school teammates and coaches, to be too short, too thin and too weak to follow in his father’s footsteps. But Stephen carried on. Playing basketball was his dream. He would not give up. He finally end up playing college ball at a small, little-known school, Davidson College, not too far from where he lived. His creativity and perseverance made him Davidson’s star player. Selected for the NBA in 2009, Stephen joined the Golden State Warriors. He performed beyond everyone’s expectations with his accurate shooting and continuous efforts. In 2015, Stephen won his first NBA championship, and he led the Warriors to their first championship since 1975. After receiving the Most Valuable Player award for two years in a row, Stephen explained his philosophy, “I never really set out to change the game. What I wanted to do was just be myself..I know it inspires a lot of the next generation, a lot of people who love the game of basketball to value the skill of it, value the fact that you can work every single day to get better. You’ve got to be able to put in the time and the work. That’s how I got here. That’s how I continue to get better every single day.” Inspiring others to believe in themselves, Stephen Curry is living proof that what other people think of you does not have to influence what you become. Through self-belief, hard work, perseverance and some help from an old hoop, he has shown that anything is possible. 71. Why does the author mention the “simple basket” at the beginning of the passage? (No more than 15 words ) ______________________________________________________________________ 72. What made the ball go in all directions? (No more than 10 words ) ________________________________________________________________________ 73. What does the underlined word “day in and day out” mean in English? (No more than 5 words) _________________________________________________________________________ 74. When did Stephen Curry led the Warriors to their first championship? (No more than 10 words) ______________________________________________________________________ 75. What can we learn from Stephen’s success? (No more than 10 words ) _______________________________________________________________________ 【答案】71. To show that Stephen’s basketball career developed from a low point 72. The bumps and rocks under the basket. 73. Everyday. 74. He led the Warriors to their first championship in 2015. 75. Self-belief, hard work and perseverance account for success. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Stephen Curry通过自信、努力、毅力和来自别人的帮助，最终成为了一名优秀的篮球运动员的故事。 【71题详解】 考查推理判断。根据文章第一段“Near the small own of Grottoes, Virginia, a narrow dirt road goes from the house of Stephen Curry’s grandfather to the woods nearby. A far cry from the bright lights and shiny courts of the National Basketball Association (NBA), it was along this road that Stephen’s grandfather built a simple basket by attaching a piece of plastic to a telephone pole.(在弗吉尼亚州的小石窟附近，一条狭窄的土路从斯蒂芬·库里的祖父的房子通往附近的树林。这里远离美国国家篮球协会(NBA)明亮的灯光和闪闪发光的球场，正是在这条路上，斯蒂芬的祖父把一块塑料绑在电线杆上，做了一个简单的篮筐。)”可知，文章开头提到“简单的篮筐”是为了展示斯蒂芬的篮球生涯是从一个低谷发展起来的。故答案为：To show that Stephen’s basketball career developed from a low point. 【72题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第二段“The bumps and rocks that lined the road under the basket caused the ball to bounce in all directions.(篮筐下道路两旁的颠簸和岩石使球向四面八方弹跳。)”可知，篮筐下的坑洼和石头使得球四处乱弹。故答案为：The bumps and rocks under the basket. 【73题详解】 考查词义猜测。根据划线词所在句子“Only shots perfectly aimed at its centre went into the heavy, thick basket. In this way, practising  day in and day out  helped Stephen sharpen his skills.(只有完全瞄准球门中心的射门才会进入又厚又重的篮筐。就这样，日复一日的练习帮助斯蒂芬提高了他的技能。)”可知“Day in and day out”意思是“每天”，即Everyday。故答案为：Everyday. 【74题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第四段最后一句“In 2015, Stephen won his first NBA championship, and he led the Warriors to their first championship since 1975.(2015年，斯蒂芬赢得了他的第一个NBA总冠军，他带领勇士队获得了自1975年以来的第一个总冠军。)”可知 Stephen Curry在2015年带领勇士队赢得了他们的第一个冠军。故答案为：He led the Warriors to their first championship in 2015. 【75题详解】 考查细节理解。根据最后一段“Inspiring others to believe in themselves, Stephen Curry is living proof that what other people think of you does not have to influence what you become. Through self-belief, hard work, perseverance and some help from an old hoop, he has shown that anything is possible.(斯蒂芬·库里激励着别人相信自己，他是一个活生生的例子，证明了别人对你的看法并不一定会影响你成为什么样的人。通过自信、努力、毅力和一个旧铁箍的帮助，他证明了一切皆有可能。)”可知从Stephen的成功中我们可以学到，自信、努力和毅力是成功的要素。故答案为：Self-belief, hard work and perseverance account for success. 第二节：书面表达(满分25分) 76. 假如你是李华，你所在的学校下周要开运动会，请你根据以下要点给你的外教Peter写一封邀请信， 邀请他来参加你校的运动会，并参加教师项目的比赛。信件要点如下： (1)开始时间：11月24日早上8:00—16：30; 地点: 操场 (2)比赛项目： 学生项目：田径赛 教师项目：4×100米接力赛 (3)希望他能接受邀请。 注意： (1)词数100左右; (2)可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯; (3)开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 (4) 参考词汇: 田径赛: track and field events 接力赛：relay race Dear Peter, ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________        Yours sincerely,      Li Hua 【答案】Dear Peter, I am Li Hua, Chair of the Students’ Union for our school.

As one of the world’s top female freedivers, China’s Xu Tongtong’s answer is “beyond the limit”. Freediving, which originated in the Mediterranean region, is gaining popularity across the world. Divers rely only on their lung capacity to plunge as far as they can — either in open water in so-called “depth” events or in the swimming pool, simply called “pool” events. This year, the 35-year-old Xu has successfully dived 100 meters underwater in both constant weight (CWT) and constant weight bifin (CWTB) contests, becoming only the third female freediver on the planet to reach this depth. “When I dived 100 meters and grabbed the depth tag, I knew I had done it. I swam back to the surface with a smile,” Xu joyfully recalled of her historic feat. Hailing from East China’s Anhui province, Xu transitioned from swimming to freediving in 2014. “I was able to enter the three-dimensional world from a two-dimensional space. That is why I fell in love with freediving,” she told Xinhua in a recent exclusive interview. “The biggest attraction of freediving lies in facing up to and overcoming our fears. The training is a process of constantly knowing oneself,” said Xu, adding that darkness and the unknown are the main sources of fear for most people, while freediving can help overcome fear through science-based training. “Now my fears are gone; there is nothing to be afraid of anymore,” she said. After three months of training and competing this year in Panglao, an island town in the central Philippines province of Bohol, Xu decided to stay on the island to continue her training and coaching, a major source of income for this world-class freediver. Panglao, just an hour’s drive from the well-known tourist attraction Chocolate Hills, has developed into a major freediving hub due to its favorable sea conditions and pleasant tropical weather. 56. What is the maximum depth Xu Tongtong has dived without breathing equipment? A. 50 meters B. 75 meters C 100 meters D. 125 meters 57. Where did freediving originate? A. China B. Mediterranean region C. Philippines D. Anhui province 58. What event is used to describe the competition held in open water for freediving? A. Pool event B. Constant weight bifin C. Depth event D. Swimming event 59. What did Xu Tongtong transition from to freediving? A. Gymnastics B. Swimming C. Diving D. Track and field 60. Where did Xu Tongtong continue her training and coaching after her competitions in Panglao? A. Bohol B. Chocolate Hills C. Anhui province D. Philippines C Have you ever heard someone say “You totally look like you’re a Jessica” or something similar? People seem to think that they know what kind of person a “Jessica” or a “Michael” looks like. Why is this? According to a study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, humans tend to associate people’s names with their appearances, and can even guess someone’s name based on how they look. Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel, collected thousands of photos of people’s faces. They labeled each photo with four names. Then, they asked volunteers to guess which of the four names was correct. The volunteers were able to guess the right name 38% of the time. It seems that certain characteristics of faces give them clues about someone’s name, Reader’s Digest reported. However, this only worked when the volunteers looked at names from their own culture. In addition, the volunteers were not as good at guessing the real names of people who used nicknames (昵称) more often than their real names. This may show that a person’s appearance is affected by their name only if they use it often. “This kind of face-name matching happens because of a process of self-fulfilling prophecy (预言), as we become what other people expect us to become,” Ruth Mayo from tile university told science news website EurekAlert. Earlier studies have shown that gender (性别) and race stereotypes (刻板印象) can affect a person’s appearance. The researchers believe there are also similar stereotypes about names. For example, people tend to think that men named Bob should have rounder faces because the word itself looks round. People may think that women named Rose are beautiful. They expect them to be “delicate” and “female”, just like the flower they are named for. 61. How is this article developed? A. By giving examples. B. By asking questions. C. By doing a research. D. By comparing different things. 62. What can be inferred from the study? A. Volunteers found it much easier to guess nicknames. B. Names have different associations in different cultures. C. Volunteers could guess the characteristics of the interviewees. D. The people in the photos and volunteers were from the same culture. 63. Why do some people look like their names according to Ruth Mayo? A. They want to please everyone around them. B. They don’t want to be different from others. C. They tend to become what others expect them to become. D. They like to copy famous people who share the same name. 64. What may be the best title for this passage? A. What determines our names B. Why we look like our names C. How we get rid of our stereotypes D. How stereotypes affect people’s looks 65. Where can you find this passage? A. a novel B. a poster C. a magazine D. an advertisement D These days, being a teenager isn’t easy. Teens’ schedules often include doing after-school activities, sports practice, and homework, combined with working part-time for extra spending money or to contribute to household expenses, leaving many teens feeling overworked and stressed. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, close to a quarter of all U.S. high school students participate in the workforce. Most states place limits on the amount of hours teens can work, with 20 hours a week the standard limit. Research has shown that working over the standard limit negatively (负面地) affects teens in a variety of ways. Researchers published a recent report finding that working more than 20 hours a week during the school year leads to academic problems. The more hours a student works, the more likely their grades are to be lower. A study published in the Sociology of Education suggests that working more than 20 hours each week leads to higher dropout rates (辍学率). Another study in the American Educational Research Journal reports that students who work between 1 and 15 hours per week are more likely to complete high school; however, students who work more than 15 hours each week are more likely to drop out. Working over the standard limit also causes sleepiness, which can the cause of injuries and deaths related to inattention while driving. It has been considered as a major cause in at least 100,000 police-reported traffic crashes each year, killing more than 1,500 Americans and injuring another 71,000, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Young drivers aged 25 or under are involved in more than one-half of fall-asleep crashes. Work helps teens gain valuable experience,teaches them much needed skills, and provides necessary spending money—but basic rules should be followed. The student workweek should be limited to 20 hours or less and should not go past 10 p.m. on a school night. Safe and healthy youth work experiences don’t just happen—teens, parents, and employers must work together to make them happen. 66. What does the first paragraph tell us about today’s teens? A. They are too busy. B. They are quite happy. C. They have an exciting life. D. They have more confidence. 67. What percent of U.S. high school students work part-time according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics? A. About 15%. B. About 25%. C. About 35%. D. About 50%. 68. What is a possible result for a high schooler working two hours every day? A. Getting lower grades. B. Becoming a dropout. C. Finishing high school. D. Having sleep problems. 69. What does the underlined part “lead to” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Result from. B. Contribute to. C. Refer to. D. Give away. 70. What is the author’s attitude to the standard 20-hour-a-week limit? A. Unfavorable. B. Worried. C. Uncaring. D. Supportive. 第Ⅱ卷 非选择题(共35分) 第四部分：写作(共两节，满分35分) 第一节 阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Near the small own of Grottoes, Virginia, a narrow dirt road goes from the house of Stephen Curry’s grandfather to the woods nearby. A far cry from the bright lights and shiny courts of the National Basketball Association (NBA), it was along this road that Stephen’s grandfather built a simple basket by attaching a piece of plastic to a telephone pole. Like his fathers, basketball star Dell Curry, Stephen spent many childhood hours playing on this muddy basketball court. He probably didn’t realise it at the time, but it was where he learnt to be creative and flexible as a player. You see, with every shot, the weak plastic backboard gave way. The bumps and rocks that lined the road under the basket caused the ball to bounce in all directions. Knowing where the ball would go wasn’t easy. He had to adjust his own playing style as a result. Shooting with great accuracy was another thing he learnt. Only shots perfectly aimed at its centre went into the heavy, thick basket. In this way, practising day in and day out helped Stephen sharpen his skills. Despite his father’s successful career, Stephen was thought by many people, including his high school teammates and coaches, to be too short, too thin and too weak to follow in his father’s footsteps. But Stephen carried on. Playing basketball was his dream. He would not give up. He finally end up playing college ball at a small, little-known school, Davidson College, not too far from where he lived. His creativity and perseverance made him Davidson’s star player. Selected for the NBA in 2009, Stephen joined the Golden State Warriors. He performed beyond everyone’s expectations with his accurate shooting and continuous efforts. In 2015, Stephen won his first NBA championship, and he led the Warriors to their first championship since 1975. After receiving the Most Valuable Player award for two years in a row, Stephen explained his philosophy, “I never really set out to change the game. What I wanted to do was just be myself..I know it inspires a lot of the next generation, a lot of people who love the game of basketball to value the skill of it, value the fact that you can work every single day to get better. You’ve got to be able to put in the time and the work. That’s how I got here. That’s how I continue to get better every single day.” Inspiring others to believe in themselves, Stephen Curry is living proof that what other people think of you does not have to influence what you become. Through self-belief, hard work, perseverance and some help from an old hoop, he has shown that anything is possible. 71. Why does the author mention the “simple basket” at the beginning of the passage? (No more than 15 words ) ______________________________________________________________________ 72. What made the ball go in all directions? (No more than 10 words ) ________________________________________________________________________ 73.
