Museum lets visitors walk in the shoes of a police officer
Police shows on TV are filled with high-speed car chases and crimes solved in a few minutes. But that’s not a typical day for a real-life police officer. To get a more accurate picture, head to the National Law Enforcement Museum in Washington. Exhibits there invite visitors to use their senses of sight, hearing, touch and smell to gather information the way police do.
Let’s look at a few exhibits.
K-9 Units
See a video of how dogs are trained to join K-9 Units. Test your ability to smell and identify various scents (气味). Learn which kinds of dogs are better at tracking bad persons while others are better at sniffing out dangerous goods.
The Web of Law Enforcement
You’ll quickly learn that crime-solving is a team effort, not only within one department, but among organizations across the country. Inspection Service is just one of the law enforcement groups helping local police when needed. For example, six organizations worked together on a national park graffiti (涂鸦) case.
Five Communities
Every community is different. Learn how the needs and challenges of five communities are being dealt with. These communities goals are to develop programs, while increasing trust between local people and police. What might work in your neighborhood? There’s a place for visitors to share their thoughts.
The Training Simulator
Those aged 12 and older can try the same training scenarios (方案) and equipment used in professional law enforcement classes in which police try to resolve difficult situations. Short videos test participants’ abilities to observe accurately and think quickly before reacting.
The exercises give an understanding of what officers face on a daily basis.
“Many kids first think it’s like a video game,” said Alan Davis, an educator and New York police officer. “They soon realize that real-life decision-making in a second isn’t easy, and they freeze. For real police there are no second chances.”
1. Which exhibit focuses on police dogs?
A. K-9 Units. B. Five Communities.
C. The Training Simulator. D. The Web of Law Enforcement.
2. What does The Web of Law Enforcement show?
A. The problems in communities. B. The dangers of being a police officer.
C. How teamwork matters in solving a case. D. How a policeman makes a decision instantly.
3. How may kids feel about the short video tests after taking part in them?
A. They are surprising. B. They are difficult to understand.
C. They are the same as video games. D. They are not real-life experiences at all.
【答案】1. A 2. C 3. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍了华盛顿的国家执法博物馆。

As far as we know batteries are playing an important role in our life. We couldn’t live without batteries. Why so? Batteries provide power for anything from small sensors to large systems. While scientists are finding ways to make them smaller but even more powerful, problems can arise when these batteries are much larger and heavier than the devices themselves. University of Missouri (MU) researchers are developing a nuclear energy source that is smaller, lighter and more efficient.
“To provide enough power, we need certain methods with high energy density (密度)”, said Jae Kwon, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at MU. “The radioisotope (放射性同位素) battery can provide power density that is much higher than chemical batteries.”
Kwon and his research team have been working on building a small nuclear battery, presently the size and thickness of a penny, intended to power various micro / nanoelectromechanreal systems (M/NEMS). Although nuclear batteries can cause concerns, Kwon said, they are safe.
“People bear the word ‘nuclear’ and think of something very dangerous,” he said, “However, nuclear power sources have already been safely powering a variety of devices, such as pace-makers, space satellites and underwater systems.”
His new idea is not only in the battery’s size, but also in its semiconductor (半导体). Kwon’s battery uses a liquid semiconductor rather than a solid semiconductor.
“The key part of using a radioactive battery is that when you harvest the energy, part of the radiation energy can damage the lattice structure (晶体结构) of the solid semiconductor, Kwon said, “By using a liquid semiconductor, we believe we can minimize that problem.”
Together with J. David Robertson, chemistry professor and associate director of the MU Research Reactor, Kwon is working to build and test the battery. In the future, they hope to increase the battery’s power, shrink its size and try with various other materials. Kwon said that battery could be thinner than the thickness of human hair.
4. According to paragraph 1 and 2, we can learn that ________.
A. batteries can only power small sensors
B. the larger batteries are, the more power they can provide
C. Jae Kwon is working hard to improve chemical batteries
D. certain methods with high energy density can provide power abundantly
5. Jae Kwon gave examples in Paragraph 4 ________.
A. to introduce various energy sources
B. to describe a nuclear-powered system
C. to introduce nuclear batteries can be safely used
D. to show chemical batteries are widely applied
6. Liquid semiconductor is used to ________.
A. get rid of the radioactive waste B. decline the damage to lattice structure
C. test the power of nuclear batteries D. decrease the size of nuclear batteries
7. According to Jae Kwon, his nuclear battery ________.
A. could be extremely thin B. will soon replace the present ones has
C. uses a solid semiconductor D. passed the final test
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Kwon和他的研究团队一直致力于建造一个小型核电池,并且解释了它的关键部件以及对核电池的安全推测和预测。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“To provide enough power, we need certain methods with high energy density (密度)”, said Jae Kwon, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at MU. “The radioisotope (放射性同位素) battery can provide power density that is much higher than chemical batteries.” (MU电子与计算机工程助理教授Jae Kwon说:“为了提供足够的能量,我们需要某些具有高能量密度的方法。”放射性同位素电池可以提供比化学电池高得多的功率密度。”)”可知,某些能量密度高的方法可以提供充足的能量。故选D项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句“Although nuclear batteries can cause concerns, Kwon said, they are safe. (Kwon说,虽然核能电池会引起担忧,但它们是安全的。)”和第四段中“However, nuclear power sources have already been safely powering a variety of devices, such as pace-makers, space satellites and underwater systems. (然而,核动力源已经安全地为各种设备提供动力,如起搏器、太空卫星和水下系统。)”可知, Kwon 在第四段举例子是为了说明核电池可安全使用。故选C项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第六段““The key part of using a radioactive battery is that when you harvest the energy, part of the radiation energy can damage the lattice structure (晶体结构) of the solid semiconductor, Kwon said, “By using a liquid semiconductor, we believe we can minimize that problem.”(“使用放射性电池的关键是,当你收集能量时,部分辐射能会破坏固体半导体的晶格结构,”Kwon说,“通过使用液体半导体,我们相信我们可以最大限度地减少这个问题。”)”可知,液态半导体是被用来减少对晶格结构的损害。故选B项。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中“Kwon said that battery could be thinner than the thickness of human hair.(Kwon表示,电池可能比人的头发还薄。)”可知,他的核电池可能非常薄。故选A项。

Uggs(雪地靴) are certainly ugly, or at least inelegant. The shapeless boots, pulled on in a hurry, can make anyone look like a slob(懒惰的人), which has made them the target of disrespect. It hasn’t been hard to find someone strongly condemning them. “Ugg boots are no sexy,” The Independent declared in 2003, “unless you’re Mrs. Bigfoot on a lone mission across Antarctic to find Mr. Bigfoot. When wearing the boots, a writer of The Gloss complained, “There’s nothing to indicate that you don’t have square, horrible shoeboxes in place of human feet.” In 2015, one coffee shop on Brick Lane in east London ever banned ugg-wearers.
And yet, over the years, plenty of strange and unattractive shoes have met with the approval of the fashion establishment. The problem with uggs wasn’t that they were ugly; it’s that they were common.
But a funny thing happened on the way to fashion’s tomb: the universal ugg has not gone anywhere. Uggs have quietly stayed here since their best time. Once you start paying attention, you’ll be shocked to discover how many people are still wearing them. They are worn by mothers in town and in the country, by teenagers on Saturday shopping trip and by people in fashion.
Perhaps the secret of uggs’s unstoppable success is that, if there is a dividing line between public appeal and private style,it might be a pair of cozy boots. They are certainly comfortable, soft and warm, as if your feet were in the hugging of someone who really loves you. At $150 a pair, they are neither cheap nor entirely out of range. They are casual and indulgent(纵容的).
Somehow uggs, the boots that so many people hate, have managed to challenge the cruel logic of the fashion cycle and carry on whether you approve of them or not.
8. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Uggs Refuse to Die
B. Uggs Have Existed So Long
C. Uggs Enter the Fashion Circle
D. Uggs Have Gone Somewhere
9. Why does the author quote many media’s words in the first paragraph?
A. To prove uggs’ toughness
B. To prove uggs’s popularity
C. To prove people’s approval
D. To prove people’s condemning.
10. What does the author think very strange?
A. Uggs are very common
B. Uggs are inelegant and ugly
C. Uggs are worn by teenagers
D. Uggs stay there regardless
11. What is the secret to the success of uggs according to the passage?
A. They are very comfortable
B. They own private style
C. They have public appeal
D. They are very cheap
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了令人讨厌的雪地靴没有消亡反而继续流行的现象和原因,
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段中But a funny thing happened on the way to fashion’s tomb: the universal ugg has not gone anywhere. Uggs have quietly stayed here since their best time. 但在通往时尚之墓的路上发生了一件有趣的事情:普遍的雪地靴并没有消失。雪地靴从它们最辉煌的时期开始就悄悄地留在了这里。以及最后一段中Somehow uggs, the boots that so many people hate, have managed to challenge the cruel logic of the fashion cycle and carry on whether you approve of them or not.不知怎的,很多人都讨厌的雪地靴却成功地挑战了时尚圈的残酷逻辑,不管你赞成与否,它都能继续流行下去。可知,本文主要讲述了令人讨厌的雪地靴没有消亡反而继续流行的现象和原因,因此本文的最佳标题是选项A“雪地靴拒绝消亡”符合题意。故选A项。

Ramirez Castañeda, a Colombian biologist, spends her time in the Amazon studying how snakes eat poisonous frogs without getting ill. Although her findings come in many shapes and sizes, she and her colleagues have struggled to get their biological discoveries out to the wider scientific community. With Spanish as her mother tongue, her research had to be translated into English to be published. That wasn’t always possible because of budget or time-and it means that some of her findings were never published.
“It’s not that I’m a bad scientist,” she says. “It’s just because of the language.”
Castañeda is not alone. There is plenty of research in non-English-language papers that gets lost in translation or is never translated. A research looked through more than 400, 000 peer-reviewed papers in 16 different languages and found 1, 234 studies providing evidence on biodiversity conservation which, because they weren’t in English, may have been overlooked. These included Japanese-language findings on the effectiveness of relocating the endangered Blakiston’s fish owl, the largest owl species.
Some experts argue that for the sake of the bigger picture, scientific knowledge should converge (转换) into one common language. Science is very globalised and becoming more so, so the use of a global language is enormous for that.
Of course, scientists can work with an English partner, or use a translator-but this ultimately strengthens the cycle of dependency on the global north, leading to inequality in international influence. The specific meanings of words can also pose a problem in translation. For example, it is difficult to find in English one single word to describe forest snakes and frogs in the work Castafieda does with indigenous (土著的) communities in the Amazon.
“So we’re losing observations for science, too, ” says Castañeda. “For me, it’s not possible to just have everything translated into English. We need multilingual (多语种的) science, and we need people that feel comfortable doing science in their own languages. It could be possible to switch to a world where, say, Chinese, English and Spanish are the three languages of science, just as English, French and German were the languages of science in the 19th century.”
12. What prevented Castañeda’s discoveries from being more widely known?
A. Poor management. B. Opposition from her colleagues.
C. Her bad reputation. D. The language barrier.
13. What’s the consequence of the dominant focus on English in scientific research?
A. Inefficient wildlife conservation.
B. A knowledge gap in the scientific world.
C. A growing interest in non-English papers.
D. Inadequate job opportunities for translators.
14. What does the author want to illustrate by mentioning forest snakes and frogs?
A. The urgency to protect rare species.
B. The need to adopt one global language.
C. The challenges in translating scientific texts.
D. The biodiversity on the South American continent.
15. What is presented in the last paragraph of the text?
A. A potential solution. B. A theoretical model.
C. A popular belief. D. A global trend.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章以一位哥伦比亚生物学家遭遇的语言问题为例,揭示了目前有很多非英文论文无法被翻译。对此,一些专家主张科学知识应当转换为一个共同的语言——英语。但作者对此并不认同。作者认为这会导致国际影响力的不平等,并且有些专业术语很难被英语翻译。因此,作者希望建立一个多语种的科学世界。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Ramirez Castañeda, a Colombian biologist, spends her time in the Amazon studying how snakes eat poisonous frogs without getting ill.

With Spanish as her mother tongue, her research had to be translated into English to be published. That wasn’t always possible because of budget or time-and it means that some of her findings were never published.(Ramirez Castañeda是哥伦比亚的一位生物学家,她花时间在亚马逊研究蛇如何吃掉有毒的青蛙而不生病。尽管她的发现有多种形式和大小,但她和她的同事们一直在努力将他们的生物学发现推广到更广泛的科学界。由于她的母语是西班牙语,她的研究必须翻译成英语才能发表。由于预算或时间的原因,这并不总是可能的,这意味着她的一些发现从未发表过)”可知,语言障碍阻止了Castañeda的发现被更广泛地了解。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题,根据第五段“Of course, scientists can work with an English partner, or use a translator-but this ultimately strengthens the cycle of dependency on the global north, leading to inequality in international influence. The specific meanings of words can also pose a problem in translation. For example, it is difficult to find in English one single word to describe forest snakes and frogs in the work Castafieda does with indigenous (土著的) communities in the Amazon.(当然,科学家可以与英国伙伴合作,或者使用翻译,但这最终会加强对全球北方的依赖循环,导致国际影响力的不平等。单词的特定含义也会给翻译带来问题。例如,在Castafieda对亚马逊土著社区所做的工作中,很难用英语找到一个词来描述森林中的蛇和青蛙)”可知,科学研究中以英语为主导的结果是产生知识鸿沟。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“For example, it is difficult to find in English one single word to describe forest snakes and frogs in the work Castafieda does with indigenous (土著的) communities in the Amazon.(例如,在Castafieda对亚马逊土著社区所做的工作中,很难用英语找到一个词来描述森林中的蛇和青蛙)”可知,作者以该词为例,旨在说明翻译一些科学研究中的文本存在挑战。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段““So we’re losing observations for science, too, ” says Castañeda. “For me, it’s not possible to just have everything translated into English.

A Few Tips for Self-Acceptance
We all want it... to accept and love ourselves. ____16____ Where do you start? Here’s a handful of ways that will set you in the right direction.
● Stop comparing yourself with others. Do not follow the people who make you feel not-good-enough. ____17____ Are you hoping that eventually you will feel empowered because your life is better than theirs? Know that your life is your own; you are the only you in this world.
● ____18____ We are often ashamed of our shortcomings, our mistakes and our failures. Remember, you are only human. You will make mistakes, time and time again. Rather than getting caught up in how you could have done better, why not offer yourself a compassionate (有同情心) response? “That didn’t go as planned. But, I tried my best.”
● Recognize all of your strengths. Write them down in a journal. Begin to train your brain to look at strength before weakness. List all of your accomplishments and achievements. ____19____ Nothing is too small to celebrate.
● Now that you’ve listed your strengths, list your imperfections. Turn the page in your journal. Put into words why you feel unworthy, and why you don’t feel good enough. Now, read these words back to yourself. ____20____ Turn to a page in your journal to your list of strengths and achievements. See how awesome you are?
A. But at times it seems too difficult and too far out of reach.
B. Feeling upset again?
C. You have a job, earned your degree, and you got out of bed today.
D. Forgive yourself for mistakes that you have made.
E. Why do you follow them?
F. Set an intention for self-acceptance.
G. When does the comparison game start?
【答案】16. A 17. E 18. D 19. C 20. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章就如何做到自我接纳给出了几点建议。
【16题详解】
根据前文“We all want it... to accept and love ourselves.”(我们都想要……接受并爱自己。)说明我们对自己的认可是肯定的。下文“Where do you start? ”(你从哪里开始?)用问题形式提出,当我们要肯定自己时是要想清楚通过哪些方面来肯定自己。因此空处应承接前文,讲述肯定自己不是简单就能做到的。选项A.“但有时这似乎太难了,遥不可及。”与下文逻辑相符,故选A。
【17题详解】
根据上文“Do not follow the people who make you feel not-good-enough.”(不要跟随那些让你觉得自己不够好的人。)讲述了要识别自己追随的人,不要跟随那些让你觉得自己不够好的人。后文“Are you hoping that eventually you will feel empowered because your life is better than theirs? ”(你是否希望最终你会因为你的生活比他们的好而感到有力量?)以问题的形式提出询问你跟随其他人的动机。因此空处的内容应和后文并列,提出为什么跟随他人,选项E.“你为什么要跟随他们?”选项中“follow them”与前文中“ follow the people ”相呼应,同时与后文形成并列,符合题意,故选E项。
【18题详解】
根据空后的内容“We are often ashamed of our shortcomings, our mistakes and our failures. Remember, you are only human.”(不要对自己的缺点、错误、失败感到愧疚,我们都是人)提到不要对自己的缺点、错误、失败感到愧疚,因为我们都会时不时地犯错。空处位于段首,应为本段的主题句。因此作为段落的主题句,应起到总结概括作用,即我们要敢于接受自己的错误,要对自己报以同情心。选项D.“原谅自己所犯的错误。”符合本段的主旨。故选D项。
【19题详解】
根据上文中的“List all of your accomplishments and achievements.”(列出你所有的成绩和成就。)可知空处应承接前文,举例说明自己的成就。选项C.“你有了工作,拿到了学位,今天起床了。”举例说明了找到工作、获得学位、起床这些小小的成就,承接上文,符合语境。故选C项。
【20题详解】
结合上文“Put into words why you feel unworthy, why you don’t feel good enough. Now, read these words back to yourself.”(用语言来表达为什么你觉得自己不值得,为什么你觉得自己不够好。现在,自己读一下这些话。)”和下文的“Turn to a page in your journal to your list of strengths and achievements. See how fantastic you are?” (翻到你日记本上记下你的优点和成就的那页。看到你有多棒了吗?)可知,空处应承接前文,讲述面对自己的不够好,会带给自己不好的感受。选项B.“再次感觉心烦意乱了吗?”符合上下文语境。故选B项。

I am turning 30 tomorrow and I ask myself, “Should I ____22____ this deadline?” I am still renting an apartment, and living alone. This seems far from ____23____ for most, but it looks nice to me.
When I graduated years ago, I ____24____ worked as a journalist because I had been dreaming of writing stories for the ____25____ since childhood, and I thought I would stick to it forever. But as time flies, I realize that it will be unwise to ____26____ myself to just one path. Therefore, I decide to start my another pursuit—studying law.
Was I ____27____ before? No. I have learned that there is no single formula (公式) for ____28____ and happiness. Our lives are filled with ____29____ possibilities. While I really love my current career, I have also been interested in being a _____30_____. So why should I _____31_____ the dream to the end just because I am 30 already?
Turning 30 can also be a chance to do whatever you like. You needn’t care about how others will _____32_____ your decisions. The most important part is that you are just being yourself and _____33_____ it. Turning 30 is just like any other birthday.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。报道了最近几个月,在中国西南部四川省三星堆遗址的最新发现。
【36题详解】
考查时态语态。句意:近几个月来,在中国西南部四川省传说中的三星堆遗址发现了500多件文物,它们的历史价值和创造力让考古学家眼花缭乱。谓语动词discover和主语More than 500 pieces of relics之间是被动关系,根据句意和时间状语in recent months可知,应用现在完成时的被动语态,主语More than 500 pieces of relics为复数,谓语用复数形式。故填have been discovered。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句关系词。句意:四川省文物局表示,这些文物是在遗址的六个新祭祀坑中发现的,包括金面具、玉石和象牙制品以及青铜制品,它们建造精美,形状独特。此处引导限制性定语从句,先行词为golden masks, jade and ivory artifacts and bronze wares,指代事物,关系词替代先行词在从句中作主语,用关系代词that/which。故填which/that。
【38题详解】
考查副词。句意:四川省文物局表示,这些文物是在遗址的六个新祭祀坑中发现的,包括金面具、玉石和象牙制品以及青铜制品,它们建造精美,形状独特。修饰形容词shaped应用副词uniquely作状语。故填uniquely。
【39题详解】
考查时间状语从句。句意:自去年10月开始挖掘3号至8号祭祀坑以来,这些新发现使三星堆发现的物品总数达到近2000件。根据句意和前文一般现在时可知,此处应用从属连词after连接,表示事情发生“在去年10月开始挖掘三星堆3号至8号祭祀坑之后”,引导时间状语从句。故填after。
【40题详解】
考查名词。句意:四川省文物考古研究所所长唐飞说:“这些新发现再次表明,中国古代人的想象力和创造力远远超出了今天人们的预期。”此处应用不可数名词imagination (想象力)和不可数名词creativity并列作宾语从句中的主语。故填imagination。
【41题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:四川省文物考古研究所所长唐飞说:“这些新发现再次表明,中国古代人的想象力和创造力远远超出了今天人们的预期。”此处引导宾语从句,在从句中作宾语,意为“……的事”,用连接代词what引导从句。故填what。
【42题详解】
考查with复合结构。句意:唐飞补充说,新坑的发掘已进入关键阶段,还有更多的物品有待发掘,预计将挑战考古学家的传统智慧。此处为“with+宾语+不定式”作状语,不定式表示将来含义。故填with。
【43题详解】
考查名词。句意:唐飞补充说,新坑的发掘已进入关键阶段,还有更多的物品有待发掘,预计将挑战考古学家的传统智慧。the conventional ___8___ (wise) of archaeologists是名词所有格结构,空处用不可数名词wisdom。故填wisdom。
【44题详解】
考查不定冠词。句意:该遗址位于广汉市,距离省会成都约60公里,占地12平方公里,被认为是蜀国的遗迹,距今约4500至3000年。an area of是固定搭配,可数名词area为泛指概念,故用不定冠词限定,因发音以元音音素开头,用不定冠词an。故填an。
【45题详解】
考查现在分词。句意:该遗址位于广汉市,距离省会成都约60公里,占地12平方公里,被认为是蜀国的遗迹,距今约4500至3000年。date back (追溯)和逻辑主语Shu Kingdom是主动关系,用其现在分词作状语。故填dating。
根据所给单词的首字母或汉语提示,在答题卡上写出空缺处单词的正确形式,每空一词。(共5小题;每小题1分,满分5分)
46. Nankai University, ______ (创建) in 1919, has a history of more than 94 years. (根据汉语提示单词拼写)
【答案】founded
【解析】
【详解】考查动词。句意:南开大学创建于1919年,至今已有94年的历史。根据所给中文提示词,应是动词found“创建”,本句已有谓语动词has,所以found用非谓语形式,和逻辑主语Nankai University之间是被动关系,用过去分词表被动。故填founded。
47. Finally I managed to p______ my classmates to accept my idea. (根据首字母单词拼写)
【答案】persuade##ersuade
【解析】
【详解】考查动词。句意:最后,我设法说服同学们接受了我想法。空前的to是不定式的标志,所以空处应填动词原形,根据句意和所给首字母,应是persuade意为“说服”符合语境。故填persuade。
48. Both sides ______ (承诺) themselves to settle the dispute peacefully. (根据汉语提示单词拼写)
【答案】committed
【解析】
【详解】考查动词。句意:双方都承诺和平解决争端。本句缺少谓语,所以空处应填动词,根据所给中文提示词,应是commit意为“承诺”,描述已发生的事,用一般过去时。故填committed。
49. I can’t think of any possible explanation for his ______ (缺席). (根据汉语提示单词拼写)
【答案】absence
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意:我想不出他缺席的任何可能的解释。“缺席”为absence,此处为名词作介词宾语。故填absence。
50. We must promote originality, inspire creativity and encourage ______ (创新). (根据汉语提示单词拼写)
【答案】innovation
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意:我们要促进创新,激发创新,鼓励创新。根据汉语提示“创新”可知应填名词innovation,作宾语,不可数。故填innovation。

51. 请你以“Better learning habits lead to better results.”为题,用英语写篇短文投稿,内容包括:
1. 谈谈两者之间的关系;
2. 举例说明;
3. 提出建议。
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Better learning habits lead to better results
Many people fail to achieve ideal results even though they have strong interest in what they learn. The fact is that it can be quite demanding to have a better outcome without better learning habits.
Let’s take the class for example. As is known to all, it’s of vital importance to remain focused in class whether it is interesting or not. Some students, however, are always daydreaming, yawning or attracted by something else, thus contributing to the later time-consuming homework.
Forming better learning habit requires time, energy, determination and self-discipline. As for me, making a plan for your study is beneficial, and the plan should be updated according to the progress of your study from time to time. Secondly, you are expected to make full use of the time in the class and don’t do anything irrelevant to the class.
Maybe it’s easier said than done, but please never give up and keep practicing. Only in this way can better results be brought about.
【解析】
【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文,要求以“Better learning habits lead to better results.”为题,用英语写一篇短文投稿。

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
52. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Music has always been an essential part of my family. As a little girl, I often watched my mom singing with others in the church. As I grew older, she and I would sing while we did the dishes or hung clothes. My brother Dean was also a musical soul. In good time or in bad, there was always music in our house. It shaped us, comforted us, and gave us a way to express feelings that might otherwise have gone unspoken.
After Dean became a father, we learned that his oldest son was on the autism spectrum. My nephew Dj did not handle social situation well, and sometimes even for him to speak aloud outside the family was a struggle. He worked very hard to overcome his fears, so much so that the year he was eight, he decided he wanted to be part of the Christmas music program with the other children in his Sunday school class. The part he had been offered was one that required him to sing a verse all on his own - a solo.
My brother carefully explained to him that this would mean singing in front of the audience; there would be no one singing with him. Dj considered this very carefully. After a couple of days, he decided that he would accept the part. He explained to us that he believed he could do it because it was a very special occasion, and lie would practice until he was as perfect as he could be. He said he knew his daddy would help him to be the best singer possible.
For over a month, he and his father practiced together. Every evening would find them locked away in the music room, my brother on guitar, and my nephew’s small voice coming from somewhere deep down inside his little body. He gained confidence, and when the day of the concert arrived, he was certain all would go well. My brother waited backstage, giving Dj double thumbs-up, and he came out lo sit with the rest of the family to watch and take photos.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
When it was finally time for Dj to sing, the music played on, and he froze.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Everyone turned to see who was singing, while I knew it was my brother.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Para. 1:
When it was finally time for Dj to sing, the music played on, and he froze. His little face grew pale, and we could see the panic in his eyes as the silence grew. The pianist started the music again but still nothing came out. The entire audience seemed to lean forward in expectation. The silence seemed enormous. The whole family of us were all staring at our little boy, hoping he would cheer up and act out his part. Then the pianist started over again, and a low voice filled the air, singing the song.
Para. 2:
Everyone turned to see who was singing while I knew it was my mother. My mother and I were fixed on the little angel on stage. The color came back to his face, and his eyes began to sparkle. He opened his mouth and began to sing along, his little voice growing stronger with each word. The show ended with thunderous applause, with the kids bowing dramatically, accepting their praise for a job well done. I turned to my brother with tears in my eyes. I knew at that time no words needed to be spoken; the understanding between us was louder than the applause that night.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者的侄子Dj患有自闭症,不善于处理社交场合,有时甚至对他来说,在家庭之外大声说话都是一件困难的事情。但他努力地克服自己的恐惧,以至于在他八岁那年,他决定要和主日学校的其他孩子一起参加圣诞音乐项目。给他的角色要求他独唱一段。演出当天,Dj因为紧张无法发声,最后在作者母亲的带动下,顺利完成了演出。

第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分50分)

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
Museum lets visitors walk in the shoes of a police officer
Police shows on TV are filled with high-speed car chases and crimes solved in a few minutes. But that’s not a typical day for a real-life police officer. To get a more accurate picture, head to the National Law Enforcement Museum in Washington. Exhibits there invite visitors to use their senses of sight, hearing, touch and smell to gather information the way police do.
Let’s look at a few exhibits.
K-9 Units
See a video of how dogs are trained to join K-9 Units. Test your ability to smell and identify various scents (气味). Learn which kinds of dogs are better at tracking bad persons while others are better at sniffing out dangerous goods.
The Web of Law Enforcement
You’ll quickly learn that crime-solving is a team effort, not only within one department, but among organizations across the country. Inspection Service is just one of the law enforcement groups helping local police when needed. For example, six organizations worked together on a national park graffiti (涂鸦) case.
Five Communities
Every community is different. Learn how the needs and challenges of five communities are being dealt with. These communities goals are to develop programs, while increasing trust between local people and police. What might work in your neighborhood? There’s a place for visitors to share their thoughts.
The Training Simulator
Those aged 12 and older can try the same training scenarios (方案) and equipment used in professional law enforcement classes in which police try to resolve difficult situations. Short videos test participants’ abilities to observe accurately and think quickly before reacting.
The exercises give an understanding of what officers face on a daily basis.
“Many kids first think it’s like a video game,” said Alan Davis, an educator and New York police officer. “They soon realize that real-life decision-making in a second isn’t easy, and they freeze. For real police there are no second chances.”
1. Which exhibit focuses on police dogs?
A. K-9 Units. B. Five Communities.
C. The Training Simulator. D. The Web of Law Enforcement.
2. What does The Web of Law Enforcement show?
A. The problems in communities. B. The dangers of being a police officer.
C. How teamwork matters in solving a case. D. How a policeman makes a decision instantly.
3. How may kids feel about the short video tests after taking part in them?
A. They are surprising. B. They are difficult to understand.
C. They are the same as video games. D. They are not real-life experiences at all.
B
As far as we know batteries are playing an important role in our life. We couldn’t live without batteries. Why so? Batteries provide power for anything from small sensors to large systems. While scientists are finding ways to make them smaller but even more powerful, problems can arise when these batteries are much larger and heavier than the devices themselves. University of Missouri (MU) researchers are developing a nuclear energy source that is smaller, lighter and more efficient.
“To provide enough power, we need certain methods with high energy density (密度)”, said Jae Kwon, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at MU. “The radioisotope (放射性同位素) battery can provide power density that is much higher than chemical batteries.”
Kwon and his research team have been working on building a small nuclear battery, presently the size and thickness of a penny, intended to power various micro / nanoelectromechanreal systems (M/NEMS). Although nuclear batteries can cause concerns, Kwon said, they are safe.
“People bear the word ‘nuclear’ and think of something very dangerous,” he said, “However, nuclear power sources have already been safely powering a variety of devices, such as pace-makers, space satellites and underwater systems.”
His new idea is not only in the battery’s size, but also in its semiconductor (半导体). Kwon’s battery uses a liquid semiconductor rather than a solid semiconductor.
“The key part of using a radioactive battery is that when you harvest the energy part of the radiation energy can damage the lattice structure (晶体结构) of the solid semiconductor, Kwon said, “By using a liquid semiconductor, we believe we can minimize that problem.”
Together with J. David Robertson, chemistry professor and associate director of the MU Research Reactor, Kwon is working to build and test the battery. In the future, they hope to increase the battery’s power, shrink its size and try with various other materials. Kwon said that battery could be thinner than the thickness of human hair.
4. According to paragraph 1 and 2 we can learn that ________.
A. batteries can only power small sensors
B. the larger batteries are, the more power they can provide
C. Jae Kwon is working hard to improve chemical batteries
D. certain methods with high energy density can provide power abundantly
5. Jae Kwon gave examples in Paragraph 4 ________.
A. to introduce various energy sources
B. to describe a nuclear-powered system
C. to introduce nuclear batteries can be safely used

Uggs(雪地靴) are certainly ugly, or at least inelegant. The shapeless boots, pulled on in a hurry, can make anyone look like a slob(懒惰人), which has made them the target of disrespect. It hasn’t been hard to find someone strongly condemning them. “Ugg boots are no sexy,” The Independent declared in 2003, “unless you’re Mrs. Bigfoot on a lone mission across Antarctic to find Mr. Bigfoot. When wearing the boots, a writer of The Gloss complained, “There’s nothing to indicate that you don’t have square, horrible shoeboxes in place of human feet.” In 2015, one coffee shop on Brick Lane in east London ever banned ugg-wearers.
And yet, over the years, plenty of strange and unattractive shoes have met with the approval of the fashion establishment. The problem with uggs wasn’t that they were ugly; it’s that they were common.
But a funny thing happened on the way to fashion’s tomb: the universal ugg has not gone anywhere. Uggs have quietly stayed here since their best time. Once you start paying attention, you’ll be shocked to discover how many people are still wearing them. They are worn by mothers in town and in the country, by teenagers on Saturday shopping trip and by people in fashion.
Perhaps the secret of uggs’s unstoppable success is that, if there is a dividing line between public appeal and private style,it might be a pair of cozy boots. They are certainly comfortable, soft and warm, as if your feet were in the hugging of someone who really loves you. At $150 a pair, they are neither cheap nor entirely out of range. They are casual and indulgent(纵容的).
Somehow uggs, the boots that so many people hate, have managed to challenge the cruel logic of the fashion cycle and carry on whether you approve of them or not.
8. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Uggs Refuse to Die
B. Uggs Have Existed So Long
C. Uggs Enter the Fashion Circle
D. Uggs Have Gone Somewhere
9. Why does the author quote many media’s words in the first paragraph?
A. To prove uggs’ toughness
B. To prove uggs’s popularity
C. To prove people’s approval
D. To prove people’s condemning.
10. What does the author think very strange?
A. Uggs are very common
B. Uggs are inelegant and ugly
C. Uggs are worn by teenagers
D. Uggs stay there regardless
11. What is the secret to the success of uggs according to the passage?
A. They are very comfortable
B. They own private style
C. They have public appeal
D. They are very cheap

Ramirez Castañeda, a Colombian biologist, spends her time in the Amazon studying how snakes eat poisonous frogs without getting ill. Although her findings come in many shapes and sizes, she and her colleagues have struggled to get their biological discoveries out to the wider scientific community. With Spanish as her mother tongue, her research had to be translated into English to be published. That wasn’t always possible because of budget or time-and it means that some of her findings were never published.
“It’s not that I’m a bad scientist,” she says. “It’s just because of the language.”
Castañeda is not alone. There is plenty of research in non-English-language papers that gets lost in translation, or is never translated. A research looked through more than 400, 000 peer-reviewed papers in 16 different languages and found 1, 234 studies providing evidence on biodiversity conservation which, because they weren’t in English, may have been overlooked. These included Japanese-language findings on the effectiveness of relocating the endangered Blakiston’s fish owl, the largest owl species.
Some experts argue that for the sake of the bigger picture, scientific knowledge should converge (转换) into one common language. Science is very globalised and becoming more so, so the use of a global language is enormous for that.
Of course, scientists can work with an English partner, or use a translator-but this ultimately strengthens the cycle of dependency on the global north, leading to inequality in international influence. The specific meanings of words can also pose a problem in translation. For example, it is difficult to find in English one single word to describe forest snakes and frogs in the work Castafieda does with indigenous (土著的) communities in the Amazon.
“So we’re losing observations for science, too, ” says Castañeda. “For me, it’s not possible to just have everything translated into English. We need multilingual (多语种的) science, and we need people that feel comfortable doing science in their own languages. It could be possible to switch to a world where, say, Chinese, English and Spanish are the three languages of science, just as English, French and German were the languages of science in the 19th century.”
12. What prevented Castañeda’s discoveries from being more widely known?
A. Poor management. B. Opposition from her colleagues.
C. Her bad reputation. D. The language barrier.
13. What’s the consequence of the dominant focus on English in scientific research?
A. Inefficient wildlife conservation.
B. A knowledge gap in the scientific world.
C. A growing interest in non-English papers.
D. Inadequate job opportunities for translators.
14. What does the author want to illustrate by mentioning forest snakes and frogs?
A. The urgency to protect rare species.
B. The need to adopt one global language.
C. The challenges in translating scientific texts.
D. The biodiversity on the South American continent.
15. What is presented in the last paragraph of the text?
A. A potential solution. B. A theoretical model.
C. A popular belief. D. A global trend.

52. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Music has always been an essential part of my family. As a little girl, I often watched my mom singing with others in the church. As I grew older, she and I would sing while we did the dishes or hung clothes. My brother Dean was also a musical soul. In good time or in bad, there was always music in our house. It shaped us, comforted us, and gave us a way to express feelings that might otherwise have gone unspoken.
After Dean became a father, we learned that his oldest son was on the autism spectrum. My nephew Dj did not handle social situation well, and sometimes even for him to speak aloud outside the family was a struggle. He worked very hard to overcome his fears, so much so that the year he was eight, he decided he wanted to be part of the Christmas music program with the other children in his Sunday school class. The part he had been offered was one that required him to sing a verse all on his own - a solo.
My brother carefully explained to him that this would mean singing in front of the audience; there would be no one singing with him. Dj considered this very carefully. After a couple of days, he decided that he would accept the part. He explained to us that he believed he could do it because it was a very special occasion, and lie would practice until he was as perfect as he could be. He said he knew his daddy would help him to be the best singer possible.
For over a month, he and his father practiced together. Every evening would find them locked away in the music room, my brother on guitar, and my nephew’s small voice coming from somewhere deep down inside his little body. He gained confidence, and when the day of the concert arrived, he was certain all would go well. My brother waited backstage, giving Dj double thumbs-up, and he came out lo sit with the rest of the family to watch and take photos.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
When it was finally time for Dj to sing, the music played on, and he froze.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Everyone turned to see who was singing, while I knew it was my brother.
