For 18 years, I’ve feared the yearly event of writing a “vision statement (愿景宣言)” for our son, Ethan. He has autism (自闭症). In theory, the vision statement is a lovely idea — an opportunity for parents to express the future they plan for their child five years down the road. In reality, as Ethan grew up and his limitations became clearer, I found it harder every year to write the short paragraph.
This year, as Ethan completed his final year in the school system, we signed Ethan up to work at a local farm that employs young adults with disabilities assuming it would go the way he always has. He’d be interested at first, then bored, and then — because he was bored — silly and unsafe around the equipment in a way that would get him removed from the program. It was his pattern and if there’s anything we’ve learned, autistic kids love repeating their patterns.
Surprisingly, after a year, we were told he’d made it onto a landscaping team. “What do you do in the team?” we asked. Eth an listed a few machines we assumed he was watching other people operate. We’ve lived with Ethan for 21 years. We know his limitations.
At our last meeting for the vision statement, a man from the farm read a report on Ethan. Ethan was operating those machines, safely and effectively, along with the final line: “Ethan makes us laugh every day.” I could hardly believe it.
Ethan wrote his own vision statement this year. He read it aloud:
“I plan to work at Prospect Meadow Farm until I retire and live. at home with my family as long as I can. My goals for the future are to learn how to drive a lawn mower (割草机).”
I had tears in my eyes. Not simply because Ethan had made his own entirely reasonable vision statement, but because it involved the part of his present life that brings him joy. After years of making up visions for a future we never honestly thought possible, Ethan was offering one that was both hopeful and extremely simple: I want my life to keep looking the way it does NOW.
4. How did the author feel about writing a vision statement for her son?
A. It was difficult. B. It was boring.
C. It was annoying. D. It was embarrassing.
5. Why does the author mention Ethan’s pattern in paragraph 2?
A. To show her concern for Ethan’s safety.
B. To show her familiarity with autistic kids.
C. To show her low expectations for Ethan’s farm job.
D To show her special responsibility as Ethan’s parent.
6. How did Ethan behave on the farm?
A. He went beyond his limits.
B. He made silly mistakes.
C. He liked watching others working.
D. He could hardly get along with others.
7. Which statement will the author probably agree with?
A. Success is built on failure.
B. Never lose faith in your high goals.
C. Family support helps to develop confidence.
D. The future should look like the best parts of the present.
C
Whom should you marry? Where should you live? How should you spend your time? For centuries, people have relied on their gut instincts (直觉) to figure out the answers to these life-changing questions. Now, though, there is a better way. We are living through a data explosion, as vast amounts of information about all aspects of human behavior have become more and more accessible. We can use this big data to help determine the best course to chart.
There has long been overwhelming- and often surprising- evidence that algorithms (算法) can be much better than people at making difficult decisions. Researchers have collected data on various kinds of choices people make, the information they base those choices on, and how things turn out. They have found, for example, that a simple data-driven algorithm would have been better than judges at deciding whether a defendant should stay in jail (监狱) or be released; better than doctors at deciding whether a patient should get a procedure; and better than school principals at deciding which teachers should be promoted.
The power of data analysis has been proved in the sports and business worlds, too. As made famous by the book and movie Moneyball, baseball teams found that algorithms were better than scouts (物色优秀运动员的人) at picking players, and better than managers at picking strategies. In finance, the hedge fund (避险基金) Renaissance Technologies dramatically defeated competitors by seeking out patterns in stock market data and using them to inform its investment strategy. Tech firms in Silicon Valley have found that data from experiments provides better insights into how to design their websites than designers could.
These are the early days of the data revolution in decision-making. I am not claiming that we can completely outsource (外包) our lifestyle choices to algorithms, though we might get to that point in the future. I am claiming instead that we can all dramatically improve our decision-making by consulting evidence mined from thousands or millions of people who faced dilemmas similar to ours. And we can do that now.
8. What makes people better at finding answers to life-changing questions?
A. People’s better gut instincts. B. Changed human behavior.
C. The modern information era. D. Various courses accessible.
9. According to paragraph 2, algorithms might NOT defeat people in ______.
A. court rulings B. job promotions
C. operative estimation D. teaching practices
10. What can we learn from paragraph 3?
A. The plot of the movie Moneyball is related to successful data analysis.
B. Scouts and managers are not needed in successful baseball teams.
C. The hedge fund Renaissance Technologies had some financial problems.
D. Tech firms in Silicon Valley mainly relied on data to design websites.
11. Which of the following will the author most probably agree with?
A. The modern information era is mature enough to take advantage of.
B. People should outsource all the lifestyle choices to algorithms.
C. With big data people can learn from countless similar examples.
D. Face-to-face consultation will be the major trend in the future.
D
Gardeners who use pesticides are contributing to the decline of British songbirds, a study suggests. Scientists have urged people to stop “spraying their gardens with poisons” in order to halt bird decline and adopt instead wildlife-friendly practices. The results of the University of Sussex study, which researchers call the first of its kind, were published in the journal Science of the Total Environment.
The experiment, which surveyed 615 gardens in Britain, found 25% fewer house sparrows when glyphosate (草甘膦) was used regularly. This is an ingredient found in commonly used herbicide (除草剂) brands such as Roundup or Gallup. Slug pellets (鼻涕虫杀虫剂) also seemed to have an impact on bird sightings; in gardens where Slug pellets were used, house sparrow numbers were down by almost 40%.
Prof. Dave Goulson, of the school of life sciences at the University of Sussex, said, “The UK has 22 million gardens, which collectively could be a fantastic refuge for wildlife, but not if they are overly tidy and sprayed with poisons. We just don’t need pesticides in our gardens. Many towns around the world are now pesticide free. We should simply ban the use of these poisons in urban areas, following the example of France.” The Royal Horticultural Society, the UK’s leading gardening charity, said the use of pesticides and herbicides should be avoided if possible and they should only be used, if ever, in small and targeted applications.
The research also found that those who adopted wildlife-friendly practices such as planting native shrubs and flowers, or digging a wildlife pond, saw more birds than those who did not. Cannelle Tassin de Montaigu, a PhD researcher within the school of life sciences and an author of the study, said, “It’s encouraging to find that simple measures, such as planting native shrubs and trees and creating a pond, together with avoiding the use of pesticides, really make a measurable difference to the number of birds you will see in your garden.”
12. What does the underlined word “halt” in paragraph 1 most probably mean?
A. Stop. B. Attract. C. Note. D. Witness.
13. Why are the statistics mentioned in paragraph 2?
A. To reveal the severe influence of pesticides on birds.
B. To compare the effects of two kinds of pesticides.
C. To convince readers of the importance of house sparrows.
D. To help gardeners choose the proper pesticides.
14. What can be inferred from Prof. Dave Goulson’s words?
A. The ideal places for wildlife in the UK are extremely tidy gardens.
B. The gardens in the UK are so tidy that pesticides are not needed.
C. Pesticides should be prohibited from use throughout the UK.
D Some countries like France have made urban areas pesticide free.
15. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Alternative methods to keep gardens tidy.
B. Assistant ways to increase the number of birds.
C Gardeners’ attitudes towards the experiment.
D. Other researchers’ interest in the experiment.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
There are things we all do, or don’t do, that lead us to waste far more time than we realize in the moment. The biggest time regret, I think, is dwelling on (沉湎于) mistakes and shortcomings.
____16____ In a study, researchers asked subjects to spend money during an imaginary trip to the mall. Before “shopping”, some subjects were asked to recall a past financial mistake. They found those subjects were more likely to incur (招致) debt. Dwelling made them feel like a failure and told them there was no need to try, because they already sucked. So, they got further into debt when already feeling like an over spender. Of course, we don’t want to skip over our mistakes or ignore them either. ____17____
I also missed too much for fear of my own shortcomings. ____18____ I wanted to travel after high school, but I went to university close to home instead, because I was too shy to meet new people and was afraid I couldn’t make it in another city. After university, I wanted to be a writer, but I decided to find a more stable, accessible job instead, because that’s easier. ____19____ I decided to find work I actually enjoyed, travel more and live somewhere else. I made a ton of mistakes along the way, but the bigger mistake was not trying sooner.
____20____ So, never beat yourself up over your mistakes and shortcomings. The sooner you learn from them, the sooner you can free up your time and energy to live the life you want.
A. Eventually, I got tired of this.
B. Regret is another big waste of time.
C. I was doing it for the wrong reason that I was afraid to fail.
D. For years, I stayed in a comfortable place, doing things I disliked.
E. The goal is to learn something from them, and then release the failure.
F. When you finally relate it to your own past experiences, it probably becomes easier.
G. Dwelling on mistakes wastes time and, worse still, makes us more likely to repeat mistakes.

47. 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。
When Jackie came to his first piano lesson in his mother’s car, he was already 11 years old. I preferred students begin at an earlier age, but owing to his insistence(坚持), I took him as a student. As much as Jackie tried, he lacked the sense of tone and basic rhythm (节奏). At the end of each lesson, he’d say, “My mom’s going to hear me play someday.” But it seemed hopeless. I only knew his mother from a distance as she waited in her aged car, but never stepped in.
Then one day Jackie stopped coming to our lessons. I thought about calling him but assumed, because of his lack of ability, that he had decided to quit. I also was glad that he stopped coming — he was a bad advertisement for my teaching!
Several weeks later I mailed to the students’ homes a letter on the upcoming concert. Surprisingly, Jackie received and asked me if he could be in the concert. I told him that the concert was not for dropouts, but for current pupils. He said that his mom had been sick and unable to take him to piano lessons but he was still practicing. I didn’t know what led me to agree eventually.
The night for the concert came. The high school gymnastics was packed with parents and friends. I put up Jackie last in the program. I thought that any damage he would do would come at the end of the program and the negative effect would reduce to the minimum (最小值).
The concert went off smoothly. Then Jackie came up on stage. His clothes were wrinkled (皱巴巴的) and his hair looked messy (凌乱的). “Why didn’t his mother at least make him comb his hair for this special night?” I thought.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答
Unexpectedly, Jackie chose Mozart’s Concerto 21 in C Major.________
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I held Jackie firmly in great joy, asking “How did you do it?”________

For 18 years, I’ve feared the yearly event of writing a “vision statement (愿景宣言)” for our son, Ethan. He has autism (自闭症). In theory, the vision statement is a lovely idea — an opportunity for parents to express the future they plan for their child five years down the road. In reality, as Ethan grew up and his limitations became clearer, I found it harder every year to write the short paragraph.
This year, as Ethan completed his final year in the school system, we signed Ethan up to work at a local farm that employs young adults with disabilities assuming it would go the way he always has. He’d be interested at first, then bored, and then — because he was bored — silly and unsafe around the equipment in a way that would get him removed from the program. It was his pattern and if there’s anything we’ve learned, autistic kids love repeating their patterns.
Surprisingly, after a year, we were told he’d made it onto a landscaping team. “What do you do in the team?” we asked. Eth an listed a few machines we assumed he was watching other people operate. We’ve lived with Ethan for 21 years. We know his limitations.
At our last meeting for the vision statement, a man from the farm read a report on Ethan. Ethan was operating those machines, safely and effectively, along with the final line: “Ethan makes us laugh every day.” I could hardly believe it.
Ethan wrote his own vision statement this year. He read it aloud:
“I plan to work at Prospect Meadow Farm until I retire and live. at home with my family as long as I can. My goals for the future are to learn how to drive a lawn mower (割草机).”
I had tears in my eyes. Not simply because Ethan had made his own entirely reasonable vision statement, but because it involved the part of his present life that brings him joy. After years of making up visions for a future we never honestly thought possible, Ethan was offering one that was both hopeful and extremely simple: I want my life to keep looking the way it does NOW.
4. How did the author feel about writing a vision statement for her son?
A. It was difficult. B. It was boring.
C. It was annoying. D. It was embarrassing.
5 Why does the author mention Ethan’s pattern in paragraph 2?
A. To show her concern for Ethan’s safety.
B. To show her familiarity with autistic kids.
C. To show her low expectations for Ethan’s farm job.
D. To show her special responsibility as Ethan’s parent.
6. How did Ethan behave on the farm?
A. He went beyond his limits.
B. He made silly mistakes.
C. He liked watching others working.
D. He could hardly get along with others.
7. Which statement will the author probably agree with?
A. Success is built on failure.
B. Never lose faith in your high goals.
C. Family support helps to develop confidence.
D. The future should look like the best parts of the present.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. A 7. D

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“In reality, as Ethan grew up and his limitations became clearer, I found it harder every year to write the short paragraph.(事实上,随着伊桑的成长,他的缺陷也越来越明显,我发现写这简短的一段话一年比一年难。)”可知,作者对为儿子写愿景宣言时感到很困难。故选A。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“He’d be interested at first, then bored, and then — because he was bored — silly and unsafe around the equipment in a way that would get him removed from the program. It was his pattern and if there’s anything we’ve learned, autistic kids love repeating their patterns.(他一开始会感兴趣,然后感到无聊,然后——因为他感到无聊——在设备周围变得愚蠢和不安全,以至于他会被踢出这个项目。如果我们学到什么的话,这是他的模式:自闭症儿童喜欢重复他们的模式。)”可知,作者在第二段提到了伊森的模式是为了表示她对儿子在农场工作表现的期望值不高。故选C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的“Ethan was operating those machines, safely and effectively, along with the final line: “Ethan makes us laugh every day.” I could hardly believe it.(伊森安全有效地操作着这些机器,最后一句是:“伊森每天都让我们开怀大笑。”我简直不敢相信。)”可知,伊桑在农场的表现超越了自己的局限。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“I had tears in my eyes. Not simply because Ethan had made his own entirely reasonable vision statement, but because it involved the part of his present life that brings him joy. After years of making up visions for a future we never honestly thought possible, Ethan was offering one that was both hopeful and extremely simple: I want my life to keep looking the way it does NOW.(我眼里含着泪水。不仅仅是因为伊桑的愿景陈述是完全合理的,还因为它涉及到他现在生活中给他带来快乐的部分。多年来,我们一直在设想一个我们从未真正认为可能实现的未来,而伊森提出了一个既充满希望又极其简单的愿景:我希望我的生活保持现在的样子。)”可知,伊森现在的生活充满快乐,因此他希望未来能够像现在一样,因此作者希望伊森在未来能够达到像现在最好的状态。故选D。
C
Whom should you marry? Where should you live? How should you spend your time? For centuries, people have relied on their gut instincts (直觉) to figure out the answers to these life-changing questions. Now, though, there is a better way. We are living through a data explosion, as vast amounts of information about all aspects of human behavior have become more and more accessible. We can use this big data to help determine the best course to chart.
There has long been overwhelming- and often surprising- evidence that algorithms (算法) can be much better than people at making difficult decisions. Researchers have collected data on various kinds of choices people make, the information they base those choices on, and how things turn out. They have found, for example, that a simple data-driven algorithm would have been better than judges at deciding whether a defendant should stay in jail (监狱) or be released; better than doctors at deciding whether a patient should get a procedure; and better than school principals at deciding which teachers should be promoted.
The power of data analysis has been proved in the sports and business worlds, too. As made famous by the book and movie Moneyball, baseball teams found that algorithms were better than scouts (物色优秀运动员的人) at picking players, and better than managers at picking strategies. In finance, the hedge fund (避险基金) Renaissance Technologies dramatically defeated competitors by seeking out patterns in stock market data and using them to inform its investment strategy. Tech firms in Silicon Valley have found that data from experiments provides better insights into how to design their websites than designers could.
These are the early days of the data revolution in decision-making. I am not claiming that we can completely outsource (外包) our lifestyle choices to algorithms, though we might get to that point in the future. I am claiming instead that we can all dramatically improve our decision-making by consulting evidence mined from thousands or millions of people who faced dilemmas similar to ours. And we can do that now.
8. What makes people better at finding answers to life-changing questions?
A. People’s better gut instincts. B. Changed human behavior.
C. The modern information era. D. Various courses accessible.
9. According to paragraph 2, algorithms might NOT defeat people in ______.
A. court rulings B. job promotions
C. operative estimation D. teaching practices
10. What can we learn from paragraph 3?
A. The plot of the movie Moneyball is related to successful data analysis.
B. Scouts and managers are not needed in successful baseball teams.
C. The hedge fund Renaissance Technologies had some financial problems.
D. Tech firms in Silicon Valley mainly relied on data to design websites.
11. Which of the following will the author most probably agree with?
A. The modern information era is mature enough to take advantage of.
B. People should outsource all the lifestyle choices to algorithms.
C. With big data people can learn from countless similar examples.
D. Face-to-face consultation will be the major trend in the future.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。作者陈述并论证了自己的观点:我们应该拥抱大数据让它参与人生重大决定。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“We are living through a data explosion, as vast amounts of information about all aspects of human behavior have become more and more accessible. We can use this big data to help determine the best course to chart. (我们正生活在一个数据爆炸的时代,关于人类行为各个方面的大量信息变得越来越容易获取。我们可以利用这些大数据来帮助确定绘制地图的最佳路线。)”可知。作者主要的观点是在信息时代利用大数据去帮助自己决定选择哪条路径。故选C项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“They have found, for example, that a simple data-driven algorithm would have been better than judges at deciding whether a defendant should stay in jail (监狱) or be released; better than doctors at deciding whether a patient should get a procedure; and better than school principals at deciding which teachers should be promoted. (例如,他们发现,一个简单的数据驱动算法在决定被告是应该留在监狱还是释放时,会比法官做得更好;在决定病人是否应该接受手术方面比医生做得更好;而且比学校校长更擅长决定哪些老师应该升职。)”可知,数据驱动的算法在这些方面表现更好:在法官决定被告人是该监禁还是释放方面;在医生决定病人是否该做手术方面;在学校校长决定哪些老师应该升职方面,在以上方面,算法都比人类做的好,由此可知,只有“教学实践”方面有可能不会打败人类。故选D项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The power of data analysis has been proved in the sports and business worlds, too. As made famous by the book and movie Moneyball, baseball teams found that algorithms were better than scouts (物色优秀运动员的人) at picking players, and better than managers at picking strategies. (数据分析的力量在体育和商业领域也得到了证明。正如书和电影《点球成金》(Moneyball)所述,棒球队发现算法在挑选球员方面比球探好,在挑选策略方面比经理好。)”可知,在电影《点球成金》中,算法在挑选球员和挑选策略方面比人类要好,由此可知,电影“点球成金”中的情节与成功的数据分析有关系。故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“I am claiming instead that we can all dramatically improve our decision-making by consulting evidence mined from thousands or millions of people who faced dilemmas similar to ours. And we can do that now. (相反,我认为我们都可以通过咨询从成千上万与我们面临类似困境的人那里获得的证据来显著改善我们的决策。我们现在就能做到。)”可知,作者认为,在众多面临着类似的困境的人那里获取的数据,能极大地帮助人们的决策,所以作者应该赞成“我们可以运用大数据从类似的例子中学习”这一观点。故选C项。
D
Gardeners who use pesticides are contributing to the decline of British songbirds, a study suggests. Scientists have urged people to stop “spraying their gardens with poisons” in order to halt bird decline and adopt instead wildlife-friendly practices. The results of the University of Sussex study, which researchers call the first of its kind, were published in the journal Science of the Total Environment.
The experiment, which surveyed 615 gardens in Britain, found 25% fewer house sparrows when glyphosate (草甘膦) was used regularly. This is an ingredient found in commonly used herbicide (除草剂) brands such as Roundup or Gallup. Slug pellets (鼻涕虫杀虫剂) also seemed to have an impact on bird sightings; in gardens where Slug pellets were used, house sparrow numbers were down by almost 40%.
Prof. Dave Goulson, of the school of life sciences at the University of Sussex, said, “The UK has 22 million gardens, which collectively could be a fantastic refuge for wildlife, but not if they are overly tidy and sprayed with poisons. We just don’t need pesticides in our gardens. Many towns around the world are now pesticide free. We should simply ban the use of these poisons in urban areas, following the example of France.” The Royal Horticultural Society, the UK’s leading gardening charity, said the use of pesticides and herbicides should be avoided if possible and they should only be used, if ever, in small and targeted applications.
The research also found that those who adopted wildlife-friendly practices such as planting native shrubs and flowers, or digging a wildlife pond, saw more birds than those who did not. Cannelle Tassin de Montaigu, a PhD researcher within the school of life sciences and an author of the study, said, “It’s encouraging to find that simple measures, such as planting native shrubs and trees and creating a pond, together with avoiding the use of pesticides, really make a measurable difference to the number of birds you will see in your garden.”
12. What does the underlined word “halt” in paragraph 1 most probably mean?
A. Stop. B. Attract. C. Note. D. Witness.
13. Why are the statistics mentioned in paragraph 2?
A. To reveal the severe influence of pesticides on birds.
B. To compare the effects of two kinds of pesticides.
C. To convince readers of the importance of house sparrows.
D. To help gardeners choose the proper pesticides.
14. What can be inferred from Prof. Dave Goulson’s words?
A. The ideal places for wildlife in the UK are extremely tidy gardens.
B. The gardens in the UK are so tidy that pesticides are not needed.
C. Pesticides should be prohibited from use throughout the UK.
D. Some countries like France have made urban areas pesticide free.
15. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Alternative methods to keep gardens tidy.
B. Assistant ways to increase the number of birds.
C. Gardeners’ attitudes towards the experiment.
D. Other researchers’ interest in the experiment.
【答案】12. A 13. A 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项研究发现,使用杀虫剂造成英国鸣禽数量减少。为遏制这一趋势,科学家们向英国的园丁们介绍了一些合适的环保做法。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“Gardeners who use pesticides are contributing to the decline of British songbirds, a study suggests. Scientists have urged people to stop “spraying their gardens with poisons” (一项研究表明,使用杀虫剂的园丁正在导致英国鸣禽数量的减少。科学家敦促人们停止“向花园喷洒毒药”)”可知,杀虫剂的使用造成了鸣禽减少,科学家呼吁人们停止使用这些杀虫剂。由此推知,科学家呼吁的目的在于遏制这一趋势,阻止鸣禽数量减少,halt与stop意思相近,意为“阻止,制止”。故选A项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段内容“The experiment, which surveyed 615 gardens in Britain, found 25% fewer house sparrows when glyphosate (草甘膦) was used regularly. This is an ingredient found in commonly used herbicide (除草剂) brands such as Roundup or Gallup. Slug pellets (鼻涕虫杀虫剂) also seemed to have an impact on bird sightings; in gardens where Slug pellets were used, house sparrow numbers were down by almost 40%. (这项调查了英国615个花园的实验发现,定期使用草甘膦可以减少25%的家麻雀。这是一种在常用除草剂(如Roundup或Gallup)品牌中发现的成分。鼻涕虫杀虫剂似乎也对鸟类景观有影响;在使用鼻涕虫杀虫剂的花园中,麻雀的数量下降了近40%。)”可知,本段通过列数据说明了两种杀虫剂成分导致英国花园中的鸣禽数量大幅减少。由此推知,列出数据是为了证明第一段中研究者所做出的发现,即杀虫剂严重影响了英国的鸣禽。故选A项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中Dave Goulson教授所说的话“We just don’t need pesticides in our gardens. Many towns around the world are now pesticide free. We should simply ban the use of these poisons in urban areas, following the example of France. (我们的花园不需要杀虫剂。世界上许多城镇现在都没有杀虫剂了。我们应该效仿法国,干脆禁止在城市地区使用这些毒药。)”可推知,像法国这样的一些国家已经禁止城市地区使用杀虫剂。故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读最后一段内容,并结合其中的最后一句“It’s encouraging to find that simple measures, such as planting native shrubs and trees and creating a pond, together with avoiding the use of pesticides, really make a measurable difference to the number of birds you will see in your garden.”. (令人鼓舞的是,发现一些简单的措施,比如种植本地灌木和树木,建造一个池塘,同时避免使用杀虫剂,真的会对你在花园里看到的鸟类数量产生可测量的影响。”。)”可知,本段主要介绍了增加鸟类数量的辅助方法。故选B项。

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
There are things we all do, or don’t do, that lead us to waste far more time than we realize in the moment. The biggest time regret, I think, is dwelling on (沉湎于) mistakes and shortcomings.
____16____ In a study, researchers asked subjects to spend money during an imaginary trip to the mall. Before “shopping”, some subjects were asked to recall a past financial mistake. They found those subjects were more likely to incur (招致) debt. Dwelling made them feel like a failure and told them there was no need to try, because they already sucked. So, they got further into debt when already feeling like an over spender. Of course, we don’t want to skip over our mistakes or ignore them either. ____17____
I also missed too much for fear of my own shortcomings. ____18____ I wanted to travel after high school, but I went to university close to home instead, because I was too shy to meet new people and was afraid I couldn’t make it in another city. After university, I wanted to be a writer, but I decided to find a more stable, accessible job instead, because that’s easier. ____19____ I decided to find work I actually enjoyed, travel more and live somewhere else. I made a ton of mistakes along the way, but the bigger mistake was not trying sooner.
____20____ So, never beat yourself up over your mistakes and shortcomings. The sooner you learn from them, the sooner you can free up your time and energy to live the life you want.
A. Eventually, I got tired of this.
B. Regret is another big waste of time.
C. I was doing it for the wrong reason that I was afraid to fail.
D. For years, I stayed in a comfortable place, doing things I disliked.
E. The goal is to learn something from them, and then release the failure.
F. When you finally relate it to your own past experiences, it probably becomes easier.
G. Dwelling on mistakes wastes time and, worse still, makes us more likely to repeat mistakes.
【答案】16. G 17. E 18. D 19. A 20. B

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章对智能家居的工作方式和优势进行了介绍。

【37题详解】
考查名词。句意:你未来的家会了解你的日常安排和喜好,所以一切都会为你准备好。根据“your daily routine”可知,此处应用名词preference表示“偏好”作宾语。preference表示“偏好”时为可数名词,用复数形式表示泛指。故填preferences。

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Given the electronic dictionary pen is used by a growing number of middle school students, we had a debate on whether students should use it.
40% support the idea of using it. First, it’s easy to carry, which brings convenience to our English learning. Second, it’s faster to get the meaning by scanning a word. Last but not least, more functions are available, allowing us to make our pronunciation more precise and raise our listening level.
The remaining 60% hold the belief that we shouldn’t use it, claiming that its limited vocabulary lessens what we can achieve. Meanwhile, a shortage of specific explanations leads to a lack of understanding. What’s worse, we may become too dependent when it comes to memorizing new words.
Personally, I think using electronic dictionary pens should be allowed, which will help us learn English more conveniently.

第三节 读后续写(满分25分)
47. 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。
When Jackie came to his first piano lesson in his mother’s car, he was already 11 years old. I preferred students begin at an earlier age, but owing to his insistence(坚持), I took him as a student. As much as Jackie tried, he lacked the sense of tone and basic rhythm (节奏). At the end of each lesson, he’d say, “My mom’s going to hear me play someday.” But it seemed hopeless. I only knew his mother from a distance as she waited in her aged car, but never stepped in.
Then one day Jackie stopped coming to our lessons. I thought about calling him but assumed, because of his lack of ability, that he had decided to quit. I also was glad that he stopped coming — he was a bad advertisement for my teaching!
Several weeks later I mailed to the students’ homes a letter on the upcoming concert. Surprisingly, Jackie received and asked me if he could be in the concert. I told him that the concert was not for dropouts, but for current pupils. He said that his mom had been sick and unable to take him to piano lessons but he was still practicing. I didn’t know what led me to agree eventually.
The night for the concert came. The high school gymnastics was packed with parents and friends. I put up Jackie last in the program. I thought that any damage he would do would come at the end of the program and the negative effect would reduce to the minimum (最小值).
The concert went off smoothly. Then Jackie came up on stage. His clothes were wrinkled (皱巴巴的) and his hair looked messy (凌乱的). “Why didn’t his mother at least make him comb his hair for this special night?” I thought.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答
Unexpectedly, Jackie chose Mozart’s Concerto 21 in C Major.________
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I held Jackie firmly in great joy, asking “How did you do it?”________
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Unexpectedly, Jackie chose Mozart’s Concerto 21 in C Major. Jackie pulled out the piano bench and began his performance. In fact, I was not fully prepared for what I heard next. His fingers were dancing on keys, which made me extremely shocked. Never had I heard Mozart played so well by people of his age. After six and a half minutes, he ended up very well. Everyone at present was wild with great excitement and was on their feet, breaking into loud applause. After the performance, he stepped off the stage.
I held Jackie firmly in great joy, asking “How did you do it?” “Well…remember I told you my mom was sick?” He explained, with tears rolling in her eyes, “In the past few months, she has always accompanied and encouraged me. Actually she had cancer, with little chance to survive. Today, I didn’t let her down.” After hearing his word, tears were welling up in my eyes. And at that moment, I realized it was he that taught me the true meaning of perseverance and love.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者接收了一个来学钢琴的学生Jackie,虽然Jackie很努力,但是一直缺乏乐感,每次下课后他总是说:“我妈妈总有一天会听到我演奏的”。但是他一直没有进展。有一天,Jackie没有来上课,作者以为他放弃了,但是几周之后,当作者要举办音乐会时,Jackie来了,并恳求作者答应让他上台表演。作者最终答应了。音乐会那晚,作者看到Jackie后很担心他把自己的音乐会搞砸了。
