B Loading the car with the stuff of our four youngsters was hardly my idea of fun. But precisely on schedule — I had performed that miracle. Perfect plans! With our vacation on Lake Michigan now over, I hurried back into the cottage to find my wife Evi e sweeping the last of the sand from the floor. “ It’s six-thirty — time to leave,” I said. “ Where are the kids?” “I let them run down to the beach for one last look.”I was annoyed. Why had we bothered to rise at dawn if we weren’t to get rolling before the worst of the traffic hit? They had only to relax in the car while I alone fought the long road home. I walked with long steps to the beach. There, I spotted my four youngsters had discarded their shoes and were tiptoeing into the water, laughing each time a wave broke over their legs. With the firmness of a father, I cupped my hands to my mouth to order them to stop. But somehow the scolding words stopped short of my lips. The longer I watched, more magical the scene seemed, for it would never be copied. What changes might we expect after the passing of another year, another ten years? The only reality was this moment, this glistening beach and these children with their laughter mixed with the wind and the waves. Why had I rushed from the cottage to scold them? Simply in the mood to nag because a long day’s drive lay ahead? How could I hope to maintain communication with my children, now and later, if I failed to keep youthful memories alive? My daughters were signaling to me to join them, and instantly, I ran to them. Today, years later, my heart still warms to recall our young children’s laughter that day. And not infrequently, when they recollected their fondest memories, those few long-ago moments are among their most precious. 4. Why did the author feel annoyed? A. Rising too early bothered him a lot. B. His carefully planned schedule was disturbed. C. The packing and loading turned out not fun at all. D. The road would be locked down for the traffic hit. 5. What made the author decide to change the plan? A. The joyful scene of his children playing. B. The regret for not joining the children sooner. C. His wife’s sudden interfering in his schedule. D. The thought of prioritizing family time over work. 6. What’s the author’s reflection in paragraph 4? A. He regretted scolding, desiring to reconnect. B. He appreciated the moment, seeking bonding. C. He anticipated future changes, aiming to stay close. D. He got tired of the fast pace of life, longing to escape. 7. What did the author mainly want to convey? A The responsibility of a firm father. B. The bittersweet memories of the vacation. C. The insignificance of discipline in parenting. D. The timeless beauty of cherished family moments. C When I asked my 15-year-old cousin about her ideal occupation, she gave me an unusual answer, saying that she dreams of becoming an online celebrity, which reminded me of a new girl band called “Sunshine”. These teens have quickly got an ill fame across China because of their “unattractive” and “fat” appearance and laughably bad singing skills. But rather than wither at the offence coming from their 430,000 followers on Weibo, they seem to bloom on the criticism. And following Sunshine’s explosion, numerous new bands like “Power Girls” and “Love-wings” starring average- looking adolescent girls started popping up on people’s mobiles. Lots of ordinary, disadvantaged Chinese teens with no skills but big dreams have looked to unlikely role models such as the Sunshine girls as proof that all it takes is a little self-confidence to get your name in the headlines. It’s incredible to witness so many young Chinese girls make spectacles of themselves online in a desperate attempt to stand out from thousands of potential stars. This kind of grassroots self-promotion is fantastic for Chinese youth who may not otherwise have any opportunities or privileges to be outstanding in China’s competitive society, but for those well-educated kids, there is a rising concern among parents that social networking is distracting them from academics. Sadly, these so-called stars quickly disappear from people’s attention once a new band pops up. Besides, they are likely to leave behind the online record of their ridiculous and sometimes scandalous behavior. Prospective employers and even potential husbands or wives will eventually see these photos and videos, which could affect their futures. The good news is that, in today’s Internet age, fame and fortune are easily attainable for otherwise unqualified kids, but the bad news is that their narcissistic (自恋的) addictions to social media will interfere with learning knowledge and real-life skills, leaving an entire generation of wired youth with absolutely no other alternative once their online followers forget about them. 8. What does the underlined word “wither” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Fade. B. Prosper. C. Tease. D. Please. 9. Why does becoming an online celebrity rise among the youth? A. Because it just needs self- confidence. B. Because they are skilled at performance. C. Because they don’t concentrate on academics. D. Because it is a possible chance to get them ahead. 10. What suffering may so-called stars face? A. They may lose their wealth. B. They may get their future ruined. C. They may be sick of people’s concern. D. They may be laughed at by their future employees. 11. What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A. Times change nothing. B. Qualifications bring fortune. C. A trend can stimulate learning. D. An addiction can affect a whole generation. D Getting angry doesn’t just hurt our mental health, it’s also damaging to our hearts and gastrointestinal (胃肠的) systems, according to recent research. Of course, it’s a common emotion that everyone feels — few of us stay serene when a driver cuts us off or a boss makes us stay late. But getting mad too often or for too long can cause problems. One recent study looked at anger’s effects on the heart. It found that anger can raise the risk of heart attacks because it impairs the functioning of blood vessels. Researchers examined the impact of three different emotions on the heart: anger, anxiety and sadness. One participant group did a task that made them angry, another did one that made them anxious, while a third did an exercise designed to induce sadness. The scientists then tested the functioning of the blood vessels in each participant, and they found that those in the angry group had worse blood flow than those in the others; their blood vessels didn’t expand as much. Doctors are also gaining a better understanding of how anger affects our gastrointestinal system. When someone becomes angry, the body produces numerous proteins and hormones that increase inflammation (炎症) in the body. Chronic inflammation can raise your risk of many diseases. The body’s sympathetic nervous system —— or“ fight or flight” system—— is also activated, which shunts blood away from the gut to major muscles. This slows down movement in the GI tract, which can lead to problems like constipation (便秘). “If you have an angry conversation every now and again or you get upset every now and again, that’s within the normal human experience,” says Antonia Seligowski, a professor at Massachusetts General Hospital.“ When a negative emotion is prolonged, when you’ re really having a lot more of it and maybe more intensely, that’s where it’s bad for your health.” Her group is looking at whether mental- health treatments, like certain types of talk therapy or breathing exercises, may also be able to improve some of the physical problems caused by anger. 12. Why does the author mention“ the driver” and “ the boss” in paragraph 1? A. To show that anger only happens at work. B. To illustrate that anger is a shared emotion. C. To suggest that only outside events cause anger. D. To indicate that anger is often aimed at people in charge. 13. What do we know about anger from paragraph 2 and paragraph 3? A. It improves blood flow. B. It increases nutrient absorption. C. It enhances digestive movement. D. It triggers the body’s sympathetic nervous system. 14. Which statement does Antonia Seligowski agree with about occasional anger? A. It is harmful to our health. B. It should be avoided instantly. C. It should be prolonged constantly. D. It is part of normal human experience. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. The benefits of expressing anger. B. Mental- health treatment s for anger. C Impacts of anger on heart and gastrointestinal health. D. Long- term physical and psychological effects of anger. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Anyone with a story to tell can write a book, either for their own enjoyment or to publish for all to see.

Write them down, chew them over, and figure out which one you’ re most passionate about. Research your big idea to build your expertise (专业知识). If you’re writing a nonfiction book, you’ll obviously need to deeply research your subject matter in order to write about it effectively and authentically. ____17____ .

If your focus each day is to write about the American Civil War, you may become paralyzed by the immensity of the task.

For instance, instead of thinking “I need to write about the Civil War,” you might tell yourself, “I’m going to write about General Grant’s military strategy today.” Develop at least one unforgettable character. Build one or more characters who are complex and rounded, not one- note “heroes” or “villains”. Think about some of your favorite characters from books you love. Write down their character traits and use these to help build your own unique characters. ____19____. Emphasize conflict and tension in your narrative.

His breath made steamy circles on the chilled glass window. “I don’t think today’s the day, Tucker.” His father walked up beside him and looked outside. “It has to snow something, doesn’t it, Dad?” asked Tucker, a hint of regret in his voice as he surveyed the barren landscape. “Sure, boy,” his father stroked his fingers through Tucker’s hair and strode off toward the basement door. Tucker’s gaze wandered beyond the backyard of his family’s new home. Just beyond a cluster of prickly pine trees, the flat ground pushed upward into a steep and empty hillside. Dad’s promise of a perfect sledding (乘雪橇) spot echoed in his ears, painting vivid pictures of exhilarating rides down the hill, faster and more thrilling than anything he’d experienced in the city. Sledding. Tucker’s brand- new sled rested in the corner of his room, sandwiched between his dresser (梳妆台) and train table. It was perfect: bright blue with red and orange flames racing up its sides. Tucker loved the feel of the cool, smooth plastic yellow rope. He was sure it would be superfast. If only it would snow. Determined to find some way to make the most of this snowless day, Tucker went down to the basement where he found his father waist- deep in a sea of flattened cardboard boxes. “Can you play chess with me, Dad?” Tucker pleaded. His father looked over the wall of boxes. “I promised your mom I’d get all these boxes broken down and ready for recycling. It won’t take long, Tucker. In a little while, we’ll find something fun to do, I promise.” But Tucker’s eyes had already lit up with a new found idea. As he caught sight of the duct tape (强力防水胶带) next to his father and the ramp (斜坡) formed by the cardboard boxes by accident, inspiration struck. 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。 “Dad, can I have some cardboard boxes?” Tucker asked. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Tucker held the sled in place. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力答案：1-20ABCCCBAACBACBBABABCB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 英 语 试 卷 注意事项： 1. 答题前，考生务必用黑色碳素笔将自己的姓名、准考证号、考场号、座位号在答题卡上填写清楚。 2. 每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。在试题卷上作答无效。 3. 考试结束后，请将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 满分150分，考试用时120分钟。 第一部分 听力 (共两节，满分30分) 注意，听力部分答题时，请先将答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节 (共5小题; 每小题1.5分, 满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

But precisely on schedule — I had performed that miracle. Perfect plans! With our vacation on Lake Michigan now over, I hurried back into the cottage to find my wife Evi e sweeping the last of the sand from the floor. “ It’s six-thirty — time to leave,” I said. “ Where are the kids?” “I let them run down to the beach for one last look.”I was annoyed. Why had we bothered to rise at dawn if we weren’t to get rolling before the worst of the traffic hit? They had only to relax in the car while I alone fought the long road home. I walked with long steps to the beach. There, I spotted my four youngsters had discarded their shoes and were tiptoeing into the water, laughing each time a wave broke over their legs. With the firmness of a father, I cupped my hands to my mouth to order them to stop. But somehow the scolding words stopped short of my lips. The longer I watched, more magical the scene seemed, for it would never be copied. What changes might we expect after the passing of another year, another ten years? The only reality was this moment, this glistening beach and these children with their laughter mixed with the wind and the waves. Why had I rushed from the cottage to scold them? Simply in the mood to nag because a long day’s drive lay ahead? How could I hope to maintain communication with my children, now and later, if I failed to keep youthful memories alive? My daughters were signaling to me to join them, and instantly, I ran to them. Today, years later, my heart still warms to recall our young children’s laughter that day. And not infrequently, when they recollected their fondest memories, those few long-ago moments are among their most precious. 4. Why did the author feel annoyed? A. Rising too early bothered him a lot. B. His carefully planned schedule was disturbed. C. The packing and loading turned out not fun at all. D. The road would be locked down for the traffic hit. 5. What made the author decide to change the plan? A. The joyful scene of his children playing. B. The regret for not joining the children sooner. C. His wife’s sudden interfering in his schedule. D. The thought of prioritizing family time over work. 6. What’s the author’s reflection in paragraph 4? A. He regretted scolding, desiring to reconnect. B. He appreciated the moment, seeking bonding. C. He anticipated future changes, aiming to stay close. D. He got tired of the fast pace of life, longing to escape. 7. What did the author mainly want to convey? A. The responsibility of a firm father. B. The bittersweet memories of the vacation. C. The insignificance of discipline in parenting. D. The timeless beauty of cherished family moments. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了一家人在密歇根湖度假结束时的温馨时刻和由此引发的对家庭珍贵时光的感悟。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“I was annoyed. Why had we bothered to rise at dawn if we weren’t to get rolling before the worst of the traffic hit? They had only to relax in the car while I alone fought the long road home.(我很生气。如果我们不是要赶在交通最糟糕之前出发，为什么还要费心在黎明起床呢？他们只需要在车里放松一下，而我一个人在漫长的回家路上挣扎)”可知，作者感到生气是因为他精心安排的时间表被打乱了。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“I walked with long steps to the beach. There, I spotted my four youngsters had discarded their shoes and were tiptoeing into the water, laughing each time a wave broke over their legs.(我走了很长一段路到海滩。在那里，我发现我的四个孩子已经扔掉了鞋子，踮着脚走进水里，每次海浪拍打他们的腿时都会笑)”以及“But somehow the scolding words stopped short of my lips. The longer I watched, more magical the scene seemed, for it would never be copied.(但不知怎么的，责骂的话还是从我嘴里说了出来。我看的时间越长，这个场景就越神奇，因为它永远不会被复制)”可知，作者看到孩子们玩得很开心，决定改变计划。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段的“The only reality was this moment, this glistening beach and these children with their laughter mixed with the wind and the waves. Why had I rushed from the cottage to scold them? Simply in the mood to nag because a long day’s drive lay ahead? How could I hope to maintain communication with my children, now and later, if I failed to keep youthful memories alive? My daughters were signaling to me to join them, and instantly, I ran to them.(唯一的现实就是这一刻，这片闪闪发光的海滩，这些孩子的笑声夹杂着风浪。我为什么从小屋里冲出来骂他们？只是因为前面还有漫长的一天的车程而想唠叨？如果我不能保持年轻的记忆，我怎么能希望现在和以后与孩子们保持沟通呢？我的女儿们正在示意我加入她们，我立刻跑向她们)”可推知，第四段中，作者反思自己为什么急于离开小屋去责骂孩子，并意识到自己应该珍惜与孩子们在一起的时光。故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段“Today, years later, my heart still warms to recall our young children’s laughter that day. And not infrequently, when they recollected their fondest memories, those few long- ago moments are among their most precious.(多年后的今天，想起那天我们年幼的孩子的笑声，我的心仍然温暖。当他们回忆起最美好的回忆时，那些很久以前的时刻往往是他们最珍贵的时刻之一)”可知， 文章通过讲述作者一家度假结束的场景，表达了家庭时光的珍贵。故选D。 C When I asked my 15-year-old cousin about her ideal occupation, she gave me an unusual answer, saying that she dreams of becoming an online celebrity, which reminded me of a new girl band called “Sunshine”. These teens have quickly got an ill fame across China because of their “unattractive” and “fat” appearance and laughably bad singing skills. But rather than wither at the offence coming from their 430,000 followers on Weibo, they seem to bloom on the criticism. And following Sunshine’s explosion, numerous new bands like “Power Girls” and “Love-wings” starring average- looking adolescent girls started popping up on people’s mobiles. Lots of ordinary, disadvantaged Chinese teens with no skills but big dreams have looked to unlikely role models such as the Sunshine girls as proof that all it takes is a little self-confidence to get your name in the headlines. It’s incredible to witness so many young Chinese girls make spectacles of themselves online in a desperate attempt to stand out from thousands of potential stars. This kind of grassroots self-promotion is fantastic for Chinese youth who may not otherwise have any opportunities or privileges to be outstanding in China’s competitive society, but for those well-educated kids, there is a rising concern among parents that social networking is distracting them from academics. Sadly, these so-called stars quickly disappear from people’s attention once a new band pops up. Besides, they are likely to leave behind the online record of their ridiculous and sometimes scandalous behavior. Prospective employers and even potential husbands or wives will eventually see these photos and videos, which could affect their futures. The good news is that, in today’s Internet age, fame and fortune are easily attainable for otherwise unqualified kids, but the bad news is that their narcissistic (自恋的) addictions to social media will interfere with learning knowledge and real-life skills, leaving an entire generation of wired youth with absolutely no other alternative once their online followers forget about them. 8. What does the underlined word “wither” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Fade. B. Prosper. C. Tease. D. Please. 9. Why does becoming an online celebrity rise among the youth? A. Because it just needs self- confidence. B. Because they are skilled at performance. C. Because they don’t concentrate on academics. D. Because it is a possible chance to get them ahead. 10. What suffering may so-called stars face? A. They may lose their wealth. B. They may get their future ruined. C. They may be sick of people’s concern. D. They may be laughed at by their future employees. 11. What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A. Times change nothing. B. Qualifications bring fortune. C. A trend can stimulate learning. D. An addiction can affect a whole generation. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章分析了中国青少年中出现的一种现象，即一些外貌普通甚至被公众认为不够吸引人的少女组合通过社交媒体迅速走红的现象。文章探讨了这种现象背后的原因，包括自我推广的力量以及在竞争激烈的社会环境中获得关注的机会。同时，文章也表达了对于这种现象可能带来的负面影响的担忧。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。由文章第一段中“These teens have quickly got an ill fame across China because of their “unattractive” and “fat” appearance and laughably bad singing skills. But rather than wither at the offence coming from their 430,000 followers on Weibo, they seem to bloom on the criticism. (这些青少年因其“不吸引人”和“肥胖”的外表以及糟糕得可笑的演唱技巧而迅速在中国声名狼藉。但他们并没有因为43万微博粉丝的冒犯而wither，反而在批评中绽放。)”可知，面对微博上43万粉丝的指责，这些青少年并没有像通常那样衰落（wither），反而在批评中茁壮成长。因此，wither在此处的意思是“衰落、衰退”。A. Fade褪色，凋谢，衰落，衰退；B. Prosper繁荣；C. Tease取笑；D. Please使满意。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段中“Lots of ordinary, disadvantaged Chinese teens with no skills but big dreams have looked to unlikely role models such as the Sunshine girls as proof that all it takes is a little self- confidence to get your name in the headlines. (许多普通、处于不利地位的中国青少年，他们没有什么技能，但梦想却很大，他们把像“Sunshine”女孩这样不太可能的榜样视为证明，即只需要一点自信就能让自己的名字出现在头条新闻中。)”可知，成为网络名人只需要自信，这对那些没有技能但有梦想的普通青少年来说是一个可能的机会。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第四段“Sadly, these so-called stars quickly disappear from people’s attention once a new band pops up. Besides, they are likely to leave behind the online record of their ridiculous and sometimes scandalous behavior. Prospective employers and even potential husbands or wives will eventually see these photos and videos, which could affect their futures. (可悲的是，这些所谓的明星一旦有新的乐队出现，就会很快从人们的视线中消失。此外，他们很可能会留下自己荒谬甚至丑闻行为的在线记录。未来的雇主，甚至是潜在的丈夫或妻子，最终都会看到这些照片和视频，这可能会影响他们的未来。)”可知，他们可能会面临未来被毁的痛苦。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段“The good news is that, in today’s Internet age, fame and fortune are easily attainable for otherwise unqualified kids, but the bad news is that their narcissistic (自恋的) addictions to social media will interfere with learning knowledge and real- life skills, leaving an entire generation of wired youth with absolutely no other alternative once their online followers forget about them. (好消息是，在当今的互联网时代，对于原本不合格的孩子来说，名声和财富是很容易获得的，但坏消息是，他们对社交媒体的自恋成瘾会干扰他们学习知识和现实生活技能，一旦他们的网络追随者忘记了他们，就会让整整一代的网络青年陷入完全没有其他选择的境地。)”可知，这句话暗示了自恋成瘾会影响整整一代人，即“一个嗜好会影响整整一代人”。故选D。 D Getting angry doesn’t just hurt our mental health, it’s also damaging to our hearts and gastrointestinal (胃肠的) systems, according to recent research. Of course, it’s a common emotion that everyone feels — few of us stay serene when a driver cuts us off or a boss makes us stay late. But getting mad too often or for too long can cause problems. One recent study looked at anger’s effects on the heart. It found that anger can raise the risk of heart attacks because it impairs the functioning of blood vessels. Researchers examined the impact of three different emotions on the heart: anger, anxiety and sadness. One participant group did a task that made them angry, another did one that made them anxious, while a third did an exercise designed to induce sadness. The scientists then tested the functioning of the blood vessels in each participant, and they found that those in the angry group had worse blood flow than those in the others; their blood vessels didn’t expand as much. Doctors are also gaining a better understanding of how anger affects our gastrointestinal system. When someone becomes angry, the body produces numerous proteins and hormones that increase inflammation (炎症) in the body. Chronic inflammation can raise your risk of many diseases. The body’s sympathetic nervous system —— or“ fight or flight” system—— is also activated, which shunts blood away from the gut to major muscles. This slows down movement in the GI tract, which can lead to problems like constipation (便秘). “If you have an angry conversation every now and again or you get upset every now and again, that’s within the normal human experience,” says Antonia Seligowski, a professor at Massachusetts General Hospital.“ When a negative emotion is prolonged, when you’ re really having a lot more of it and maybe more intensely, that’s where it’s bad for your health.” Her group is looking at whether mental- health treatments, like certain types of talk therapy or breathing exercises, may also be able to improve some of the physical problems caused by anger. 12. Why does the author mention“ the driver” and “ the boss” in paragraph 1? A. To show that anger only happens at work. B. To illustrate that anger is a shared emotion. C. To suggest that only outside events cause anger. D. To indicate that anger is often aimed at people in charge. 13. What do we know about anger from paragraph 2 and paragraph 3? A. It improves blood flow. B. It increases nutrient absorption. C. It enhances digestive movement. D. It triggers the body’s sympathetic nervous system. 14. Which statement does Antonia Seligowski agree with about occasional anger? A. It is harmful to our health. B. It should be avoided instantly. C. It should be prolonged constantly. D. It is part of normal human experience. 15 Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. The benefits of expressing anger. B. Mental- health treatment s for anger. C. Impacts of anger on heart and gastrointestinal health. D. Long- term physical and psychological effects of anger. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述的是愤怒对心脏和胃肠健康的影响。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Of course, it’s a common emotion that everyone feels — few of us stay serene when a driver cuts us off or a boss makes us stay late. But getting mad too often or for too long can cause problems.(当然，这是每个人都能感受到的一种常见情绪——当司机插队或老板让我们加班时，很少有人能保持平静。但是生气太频繁或时间太长会导致问题。)”可知，作者提到了“司机”和“老板”来说明愤怒是一种共同的情感。故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“When someone becomes angry, the body produces numerous proteins and hormones that increase inflammation (炎症) in the body. Chronic inflammation can raise your risk of many diseases. The body’s sympathetic nervous system —— or“ fight or flight” system—— is also activated, which shunts blood away from the gut to major muscles. (当一个人生气时，身体会产生大量的蛋白质和激素，从而增加体内的炎症。慢性炎症会增加你患许多疾病的风险。身体的交感神经系统——或“战斗或逃跑”系统——也被激活，它将血液从肠道分流到主要肌肉)”可知，生气会激活身体的交感神经系统。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段““If you have an angry conversation every now and again or you get upset every now and again, that’s within the normal human experience,” says Antonia Seligowski, a professor at Massachusetts General Hospital (马萨诸塞州总医院的安东尼娅·塞利戈夫斯基教授说：“如果你时不时地和别人生气，或者时不时地心烦意乱，这是正常的人类经历。”)”可知，偶尔的愤怒是人类正常经历的一部分。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Getting angry doesn’t just hurt our mental health, it’s also damaging to our hearts and gastrointestinal (胃肠的) systems, according to recent research. (根据最近的研究，生气不仅会损害我们的心理健康，还会损害我们的心脏和胃肠道系统。)”可知，文章主要讲述的是愤怒对心脏和胃肠健康的影响。C项：Impacts of anger on heart and gastrointestinal health.(愤怒对心脏和胃肠健康的影响。)合乎题意。故选C。 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Anyone with a story to tell can write a book, either for their own enjoyment or to publish for all to see.

Write them down, chew them over, and figure out which one you’ re most passionate about. Research your big idea to build your expertise (专业知识).

If your focus each day is to write about the American Civil War, you may become paralyzed by the immensity of the task. Instead, divide up your larger concept into smaller components that feel more manageable to tackle. For instance, instead of thinking “I need to write about the Civil War,” you might tell yourself, “I’m going to write about General Grant’s military strategy today.” Develop at least one unforgettable character. Build one or more characters who are complex and rounded, not one- note “heroes” or “villains”. Think about some of your favorite characters from books you love. Write down their character traits and use these to help build your own unique characters. ____19____. Emphasize conflict and tension in your narrative. Introduce challenges and obstacles in your book ____20____. The conflict and tension can be both external and internal. Make it hard for your readers to put the book down! A.

(无论你是在写小说还是非小说，你都需要一个概念，在漫长的写作和编辑过程中保持你的魅力，也能吸引你的读者。)”可知，接下来应该讨论如何找到这样的概念。C选项“Brainstorm themes, topics, or ideas that appeal to you (集思广益，想出吸引你的主题、话题或想法)”可以作为接下来的建议，能承接上文，符合语境。故选C。 【17题详解】 由上文“If you’ re writing a nonfiction book, you’ll obviously need to deeply research your subject matter in order to write about it effectively and authentically. (如果你正在写一本非虚构类的书，你显然需要深入研究你的主题，以便有效而真实地写出来。)”可知，虚构类的书也与现实有关。F选项“Even fictional works, though, should be grounded in some degree of reality (即使是虚构的作品，也应该在一定程度上以现实为基础)”与上文形成对比，指出即使是虚构作品也需要基于现实，符合语境。故选F。 【18题详解】 由下文“If your focus each day is to write about the American Civil War, you may become paralyzed by the immensity of the task. Instead, divide up your larger concept into smaller components that feel more manageable to tackle. (如果你每天的重点是写美国内战，你可能会因为任务的艰巨性而瘫痪。相反，把你的大概念分成更容易处理的小组件。)”可知，本段谈论如何把大概念分解成更小、更容易处理的部分。B选项“Break your big idea into manageable pieces (把你的大想法分解成可管理的部分)”能概括本段主旨，符合语境，可以作为本段的主题句。故选B。 【19题详解】 由上文“Write down their character traits and use these to help build your own unique characters. (写下他们的性格特征，并利用这些特征来塑造你自己独特的性格。)”可知，本空应谈论这样作的意义。G选项“Your readers may identify with them and care about what happens to them (你的读者可能会认同他们，并关心他们发生了什么)”，进一步说明了塑造独特角色的重要性，即让读者能够与角色产生共鸣，能承接上文，符合语境。故选G。 【20题详解】 由上文“Introduce challenges and obstacles in your book. (在你的书中介绍挑战和障碍。)”可知，本空应该进一步解释了如何在书中引入挑战和障碍，即让角色经历起伏来突出紧张感。E选项“Lead your characters through ups and downs to highlight such tension (引导你的角色经历起起落落，以突出这种紧张感)”，与上文形成逻辑上的顺承关系，符合语境。故选E。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15 小题; 每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 In 2020, Angela Zhao entered her first piano competition.

His breath made steamy circles on the chilled glass window. “I don’t think today’s the day, Tucker.” His father walked up beside him and looked outside. “It has to snow something, doesn’t it, Dad?” asked Tucker, a hint of regret in his voice as he surveyed the barren landscape. “Sure, boy,” his father stroked his fingers through Tucker’s hair and strode off toward the basement door. Tucker’s gaze wandered beyond the backyard of his family’s new home. Just beyond a cluster of prickly pine trees, the flat ground pushed upward into a steep and empty hillside. Dad’s promise of a perfect sledding (乘雪橇) spot echoed in his ears, painting vivid pictures of exhilarating rides down the hill, faster and more thrilling than anything he’d experienced in the city. Sledding. Tucker’s brand- new sled rested in the corner of his room, sandwiched between his dresser (梳妆台) and train table. It was perfect: bright blue with red and orange flames racing up its sides. Tucker loved the feel of the cool, smooth plastic yellow rope. He was sure it would be superfast. If only it would snow. Determined to find some way to make the most of this snowless day, Tucker went down to the basement where he found his father waist- deep in a sea of flattened cardboard boxes. “Can you play chess with me, Dad?” Tucker pleaded. His father looked over the wall of boxes. “I promised your mom I’d get all these boxes broken down and ready for recycling. It won’t take long, Tucker. In a little while, we’ll find something fun to do, I promise.” But Tucker’s eyes had already lit up with a new found idea. As he caught sight of the duct tape (强力防水胶带) next to his father and the ramp (斜坡) formed by the cardboard boxes by accident, inspiration struck. 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。 “Dad, can I have some cardboard boxes?” Tucker asked. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Tucker held the sled in place. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】“Dad, can I have some cardboard boxes?” Tucker asked. “Sure, if you clean up when you’re done,” answered Dad. “And some duct tape, too?” Tucker continued. His father smiled, grabbed the duct tape, and tossed it to Tucker. Despite the cold, he was sweating from carrying a mountain of cardboard into the backyard. Happily, he lined the flat brown boxes, one after the other, up the hillside, and taped the undersides together until they had formed a ramp. It ran from the tiptop of the sledding hill, past the pine trees, and down to the middle of the backyard. Tucker held the sled in place. Gripping the steering rope, and moving his feet into position, Tucker took a deep, frosty breath. He let out a scream as the sled raced down the slope, faster and faster. It came to a sudden stop in the crunchy grass. Tucker flew through the air and landed in a giggly heap. He jumped to his feet and raced back up the hill with his sled again and again. When the last of the daylight finally faded away, he lay back in his sled and gazed up at the darkening sky. Then he stuck out his tongue to catch the first thick, white flake swirling down from above. And he smiled. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。塔克站在后门旁，望着无云的蓝天，渴望下雪。他期待和父亲去滑雪橇，但天气无雪。他转而请求父亲陪他下棋，父亲忙于整理纸箱。塔克看到胶带和纸箱堆成的斜坡，心生一计。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“‘爸爸，能给我一些纸板箱吗？’塔克问道。”可知，第一段可以描写塔克用纸板箱制作滑道的过程。 ②由第二段句首内容“塔克把雪橇固定好。”可知，第二段可以描写塔克在自己制作的滑道上的滑动过程和心理活动。 2.续写线索：要纸板箱—组装—把雪橇固定好—滑动—快乐—下雪 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①回答： answer/ reply ②继续：continue/ keep on ③抓住：grab/ seize 情绪类 ①快乐地：happily/ joyfully ②咯咯地笑着着陆：land in a giggly heap/ giggle and land 【点睛】[高分句型1]Happily, he lined the flat brown boxes, one after the other, up the hillside, and taped the undersides together until they had formed a ramp.(运用了until引导的时间状语从句) [高分句型2]Gripping the steering rope, and moving his feet into position, Tucker took a deep, frosty breath.(运用了现在分词Gripping和moving作状语) 听力答案：1-20ABCCCBAACBACBBABABCB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
