I still remember ten years ago when she turned 80, she surprised my brother and me with what she described as “independent birthday”． One day she informed us she'd booked a seven-night trip to Turkey. Alone.Because she had never been.Of course, that was ridiculous.There was no way my brother and I could allow that.A weak, little old lady wandering the streets of Istanbul on her own, not speaking a word of Turkish, with no knowledge of the laws and customs of the land—it was out of the question! She paid no attention to us.Off she went.When she returned, she told us it had been a wonderful success.As it turned out, she had barely spent any time alone, after hiring a taxi driver to show her around Istanbul for some days.He took her to all the sites—the markets, churches and restaurants.He introduced her to a blanket seller, “a lovely fellow，” and she bought some blankets.The seller took her address details and promised to ship them to Canada.They would be arriving in three or four weeks.My mother beamed(眉开眼笑) as she told this story.The blanket seller and my mother apparently built a friendship and she told him to drop by if he were ever in Canada. To our great shock, her blankets did arrive some weeks later, along with a lovely note from the seller Mustafa.To our even greater surprise, the following year Mustafa himself arrived in Canada.He called our mother to inform her he was in Ottawa. “I invited him over and he came by for a cup of tea.We drink a lot of tea in Turkey，” my mother told my horrified brother and me. Her trip of independence seems to be thoughtfully based on a realization that life is to be lived.It reminded me of the line from the movie The Shawshank Redemption：“Get busy living or get busy dying.” 语篇导读 主题语境：人与自我/生活与学习。本文为记叙文，介绍了母亲独自进行的80岁生日之土耳其之旅。从而告诉我们应该向这位母亲学习好好过生活，生活会更精彩。 24．Why did the author's mother go to Turkey alone?

According to Zhang, each child needs to finish at least one three-month course, which consists of three 40-minute sessions a week.The length of the overall training program is dependent on each child's condition upon their evaluation. “When we are teaching in-person courses, the parents cannot accompany their children.The children may feel a bit nervous in a strange environment, but they soon get used to it and start to enjoy the training，” she says. They also launched a mini-program on WeChat that provides online services for families of children with speech disorders—parents can upload their child's information and recordings to the self-testing tool and get a report.As well as online speech therapy(治疗), there are also online courses for parents, including guidance for speech therapy at home. “We insist that parents should accompany their children when taking online courses as they need to play the role of both teaching assistants and deskmates，” she says. There are only 10,000 speech therapists in China, many of whom are not full-time.Unlike common volunteer work, to be a speech therapist volunteer, complex training is required before services can be offered. “Speech therapy is a complex subject which requires knowledge，including training in education, psychology, linguistics and so on，” Zhang says, adding that their team has developed a training system for the volunteers to grow into professional speech therapists.They prefer to employ college students majoring in related subjects，such as broadcasting, linguistics, Chinese languages and literature or special education. 语篇导读 主题语境：人与社会/公益事业与志愿服务。本文为说明文。言语治疗师张莹与杜欣彤一起创办了Voice Changer，其目的是通过在线和现场服务平台为中国青少年提供语言康复服务。 28．What is Zhang Ying's occupation now?

When helping others, we are enriching our lives as well.First, doing voluntary work is our responsibility and duty.Second, we can enlarge our life circles so that we get more chances to learn deeper about the present situation of our society, which is very important to our future development.Last, when doing voluntary work with others, we are improving our ability to cooperate with different people and build up team spirit. As for us students, doing voluntary work is an effective way to participate in social activities.In other words, it gives us the chances to prepare to fit into the society in advance. Through voluntary work, the living conditions of people in need are improved.For example, lots of children in remote areas don't have access to enough food and clothes, let alone education.Some people donate money and clothes while some volunteers go to these areas to teach these children, bringing them knowledge as well as the latest information of the world.In this way, these children's qualities of life are improved and they'll integrate into the society more easily and get a sense of belonging. The more voluntary work we do, the more steady and harmonious our society will be.Volunteers spread warmth and care all over the world, strengthening union and trust among citizens.As Ban Ki-moon once said, “Volunteerism is a source of community strength.It can bring positive social change by promoting respect for diversity, equality and the participation of all.” In conclusion, by doing voluntary work, both volunteers and people in need get the precious life experience, and it benefits our society to a large degree.We should keep on doing and appeal to more people to take part in this meaningful activity. 语篇导读 主题语境：人与社会/公益事业与志愿服务。本文为议论文，从多方面论述了做义工带来的好处，并呼吁更多的人加入这一光荣的工作。 32．What does the passage mainly talk about?

Different parts of your brain are in charge of all these different activities.The brainstem controls your breathing and heartbeat.The cerebellum(小脑)is in charge of balance.The cerebral cortex (大脑皮层) helps you understand language, solve 　60　(problem), and remember things.Some activities use many different parts of the brain at 　61　 same time. All the different parts of your brain are made up 　62　 special cells called neurons(神经元)．An adult brain has billions of neurons in it.The neurons “talk” to one another by passing chemicals and electricity between them.When these electrochemical signals are passed from one neuron to another, they create a pathway 　63　 is called a synapse.As you learn new things, your brain creates new synapses. Many scientists spend their time observing, analyzing, testing, and wondering about how brains function.So far, they 　64　(learn) a lot, but they also say that our brains may be too complex to be 　65　(complete) understood.Isn't your brain amazing? 语篇导读 主题语境：人与社会/科学。本文为说明文，主要介绍了人类的大脑。 56．答案　best　 解析　考查比较等级。根据前面的the及后面的in the world可知，此处应用形容词最高级，故填best。 57．答案　be stored 解析　考查语态。all your likes and dislikes, your memories and habits与store之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，此处应用被动语态；且由前面的can可知，此处应填be stored。 58．答案　processing　 解析　考查非谓语动词。be busy doing sth 忙于做某事，为固定搭配。 59．答案　brought　 解析　考查非谓语动词。空处作后置定语修饰information，又因为bring与information之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，此处应用过去分词，故填brought。 60．答案　problems　 解析　考查名词的数。problem是可数名词且在此表泛指，又因为其前无冠词，故填名词复数形式。 61．答案　the　 解析　考查冠词。at the same time 同时，为固定搭配。 62．答案　of　 解析　考查介词。be made up of 由……组成，为固定搭配。 63．答案　which/that　 解析　考查引导词。空处引导定语从句，指代先行词pathway，且在从句中作主语，故填which/that。 64．答案　have learned 解析　考查时态和主谓一致。根据前面的So far可知，此处应用现在完成时；主语为they，故填have learned。 65．答案　completely　 解析　考查词性转换。空处作状语修饰be understood，表示“完全地”，故填副词completely。 第四部分　写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 假如你们学校英语俱乐部将对“良好的饮食习惯”这一话题进行讨论。请你根据下列提示，用英语写一篇发言稿。内容应包括： 1．同学们的饮食习惯； 2．良好的饮食习惯； 3．你的看法。 注意：1.词数80左右； 2．可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 One possible version： Dear friends， As we all know, bad eating habits are still very common among us students.Some like to have snacks and some are particular about food.All these bad habits will surely do harm to our health. To keep fit, we should have various healthy diets, which generally include fish, meat, vegetables, fruit as well as main courses.Besides, we'd better have meals regularly.

Several years later, a small envelope was delivered to our home—a letter from the old man's daughter.She informed us that our dear old friend had passed away and sent us another letter written by the old man, which said, “Thank you for all your kindnesses to an old man.When I was lonely, you took me in.When I was badly in need of a family, you accepted me.My last few years are filled with happiness because of you.” 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
