Thirty years later, a young man interviewed survivors from the conference, trying to uncover the truth about what happened and its consequences. This novel, by a well-known Argentine writer, explores art, crime and politics.(1945年4月，意大利一名作家在一次会议上失踪，被发现死在另一个地方。三十年后，一个年轻人采访了会议上的幸存者，试图揭开发生了什么的真相及其后果。这本由阿根廷著名作家写的小说探讨了艺术、犯罪和政治)”可知，这本书讲述了一桩陈年命案的调查故事，是侦探小说。故选C。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据When Breath Becomes Air, by Paul Kalanithi部分中“This autobiography finds hope and beauty in the face of death as Kalanithi attempts to answer the question “What makes a life worth living?”.(这本自传在面对死亡时发现了希望和美丽，卡拉尼蒂试图回答这个问题：“什么让生命值得活下去？”)”可知，When Breath Becomes Air是一本探讨生命和死亡话题的小说。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Bess Kalb saved every voicemail from her grandmother Bobby Bell who died at ninety. In this book, Bobby is speaking to Bess once more, in a voice as loving as it ever was in life and brings us several generations of brave women.(Bess Kalb保存了她九十岁去世的祖母Bobby Bell的每一条语音留言。在这本书中，Bobby再次对Bess说话，用一种一如既往充满爱的声音，向我们呈现了几代勇敢女性的形象)”可知，最后一本小说的主角是Bobby Bell。故选A。 B Baseball was everything to Walker Smallwood. But when he was just 14 years old, he got heartbreaking news that he had a rare form of bone cancer growing in his left leg. His baseball playing came to a sudden stop as he spent the next three years undergoing six surgeries, 24 treatments and 18 hospital stays. The young pitcher’s leg would never be strong enough to make competitive playing an option. “At the time I guess I was just kind of in denial, because my whole life, day in and day out, was built around baseball and sports,” Walker said. “It was pretty disastrous,” his mom, Pam said. The most the 17-year-old would be able to do is play catch with his teammates as they warmed up for their games. As the team approached the final game of the season, Walker’s parents and coach agreed that he could pitch (投球) for an inning (一局) or two for the old time’s sake. “Say you did it, have some fun, and then that’ll be it. Obviously, that’s not what happened,” Walker said. What ended up happening was more than anyone ever expected. Walker not only threw solid pitches in that first inning, but he also ended up pitching a no-hitter. The coach decided to keep him in the game until he started giving up pitches, but that never happened. Smallwood struck out all but two hitters for the entire game and tied a school record in the process. “I was in tears, most of the stands were in tears — just one of those special moments that we’ll cherish forever,” mom Pam said. Smallwood may never play again. He’s actually fine with that now because who needs a World Series ring when you’ve already taken on your greatest competitor and gone undefeated. 4. What does the word “It” underlined in paragraph 2 refer to? A. The serious injury to his leg. B. The childhood baseball dream. C. The risk of multiple surgeries. D. The long-term mental stress. 5. Which of the following best describes Walker Smallwood? A. Confident and energetic. B. Ambitious and determined. C. Brilliant and considerate. D. Optimistic and independent. 6. Why does the author mention a World Series ring in the last paragraph? A. To emphasize the value of cherishing every moment. B. To stress the significance of any championship prize. C. To highlight Walker’s personal success at the game. D. To serves as a reminder of challenges in Walker’s life. 7. What can we learn from Walker’s story? A. Misfortune can tell us what fortune is. B. You can’t teach an old dog new tricks. C. Constant dropping wears away a stone. D. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，本文介绍了17岁男孩 Walker Smallwood 因患一种罕见的癌症不得不放弃棒球运动。他重返球场参加最后一场比赛，投出了一个无安打的球，震惊所有人。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据前两段以及“The young pitcher’s leg would never be strong enough to make competitive playing an option.(这位年轻投手的腿永远不会强壮到足以让他参加比赛)”可知，Walker一直梦想成为职业棒球手，但因癌症造成腿部伤害，无力支持高强度运动，妈妈因此想表达这简直是灾难性的，所以 it 在这里就是指代前面的癌症使得他的腿受伤无力这件事。故选A。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Say you did it, have some fun, and then that’ll be it. Obviously, that’s not what happened(说你做到了，找点乐子，然后就行了。显然，事实并非如此)”和第五段中“Walker not only threw solid pitches in that first inning, but he also ended up pitching a no-hitter. The coach decided to keep him in the game until he started giving up pitches, but that never happened.(Walker不仅在第一局投出了稳定的球，而且他最终投出了无安打。教练决定让他留在比赛中，直到他开始放弃投球，但这并没有发生)”可知，Walker在得知有机会参加最后一场比赛后，就决心不只是去玩玩，而是认真打比赛。结果他投出了一个无安打的球，超出所有人的预期。从这里可以看出这位年轻投手有追求，有决心，也很努力， 棒球是他一生的追求，说明他很有雄心壮志。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。从文章最后一段“Smallwood may never play again. He’s actually fine with that now because who needs a World Series ring when you’ve already taken on your greatest competitor and gone undefeated.(Smallwood可能再也不会上场了。他现在已经接受了，因为当你已经打败了你最大的竞争对手并且保持不败时，谁还需要一个世界大赛戒指呢)”可知，作者是为了强调 Smallwood 当天在棒球场上的成就超过了任何冠军奖的意义。一枚世界大赛戒指是棒球终极成就的象征，但Smallwood克服癌症带来的伤痛，投出一个无安打的球，所向无敌，其它荣誉何足挂齿。 虽然他可能再也不能打球了，但他并不感到失落。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文内容，结合第一段中“His baseball playing came to a sudden stop as he spent the next three years undergoing six surgeries, 24 treatments and 18 hospital stays.(在接下来的三年里，他经历了6次手术、24次治疗和18次住院，他的棒球生涯戛然而止)”和倒数第二段中“Smallwood struck out all but two hitters for the entire game and tied a school record in the process.(Smallwood在整场比赛中三振了除两名击球手外的所有人，并在此过程中追平了学校的记录)”可知，本文介绍了17岁男孩 Walker Smallwood 因患一种罕见的癌症不得不放弃棒球运动。他重返球场参加最后一场比赛，投出了一个无安打的球，震惊所有人。D项“What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.(那些杀不死你的，终将使你更强大)”符合题意，无法打败你的事情才能让你更坚强，点明中心。故选D。 C For shelter dogs, awaiting adoption can be stressful. Roughly 4.1 million dogs enter animal shelters in the United’ States every single year. Dogs housed in shelters can face great stress due to noise and limited spaces, which can reduce their overall well-being and impact their adoptability. A study published in the journal PLOS ONE found that dogs kept together with companions showed fewer signs of stress and were even adopted more quickly. “Despite being a social species, dogs are often housed alone in shelters to reduce disease transmission and possible injury from inter- dog conflicts. But this practice can work against dogs’ behavioral health and adoptability,” study co-author and Virginia Tech University animal behavior psychologist Eric a Feuerbacher said in a statement.“ We wanted to examine whether pair housing could be a useful intervention for improving shelter dogs’ welfare.” Prior studies have suggested that co-housing can produce behavioral and physiological benefits. These studies have typically focused on laboratory dogs or dogs housed for more than six months at veterinary (兽医的) schools. However, those results might not necessarily apply to shelter dogs, many of which have shorter lengths of stay than those dogs studied. This study is the first to examine how U. S.-based shelter dogs perform in co-housing vs. single-housing. This new study followed 61 dogs, most of which had recently entered the Humane Society of Western Montana. The team placed half of the dogs in co- housing with partners who were put together after a compatibility (兼容) test. The other half were housed alone. They observed the dogs over a week, recording common stress behaviors. These include lip-licking and pulling back their ears. The team also took daily samples of the dogs’ urinary cortisol (尿皮质醇) to measure for biological indicators of stress. The dogs that were housed with a companion showed fewer stress behaviors. They were also adopted four days sooner than the single-housed dogs on average. “Many potential adopters might already have a dog,” Feuerbacher said. “Clearly exhibiting that a dog can successfully interact with other dogs might highlight those dogs as good matches — leading to more successful adoptions.” 8. What is the aim of their study according to Erica Feuerbacher? A. To test the effect of pair housing on shelter dogs. B. To reveal the situation of dogs in animal shelters. C. To investigate the impact of stress on dogs’ health. D. To identify the reasons for dogs’ stress in shelters. 9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The limitations of housing dogs alone. B. The benefits of co-housing dogs in the lab. C. The achievement of previous related studies. D. The necessity of conducting the new study. 10. How did the researchers measure stress levels of the dogs? A. By changing the dogs’ shelters. B. By performing a compatibility test. C. By analyzing their biological samples. D. By recording the frequency of their conflicts. 11. According to the study, why did the co-housed dogs get adopted faster? A. They had shorter stay length in the shelter. B. They interacted better with their partners. C. They seemed to be loyal to the new adopters. D. They exhibited greater ability to live alone. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍一项研究发现，在动物收容所成对安置的狗比单独安置的狗表现出的紧张行为更少，甚至更容易被收养。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“We wanted to examine whether pair housing could be a useful intervention for improving shelter dogs’ welfare.（我们想检测成对安置会否对改善收容所犬只的福利产生有效干预）”可知，他们进行此项研究就是要测试成对安置对收容所犬只的影响。故选A。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Prior studies have suggested that co-housing can produce behavioral and physiological benefits. These studies have typically focused on laboratory dogs or dogs housed for more than six months at veterinary (兽医的) schools. However, those results might not necessarily apply to shelter dogs, many of which have shorter lengths of stay than those dogs studied. This study is the first to examine how U. S.-based shelter dogs perform in co-housing vs. single-housing.（先前的研究表明，共同居住可以产生行为和生理上的益处。这些研究通常集中在实验室狗或在兽医学校饲养超过六个月的狗身上。然而，这些结果可能不一定适用于收容所的狗，其中许多狗的留驻时间比研究的狗短。这项研究首次考察了美国收容所的狗在共同居住和独自居住时的表现。）”可知，早期的研究专注于实验狗和安置在兽医学校六个月以上的狗，但其结果可能不适用于收容所的狗。此项研究第一次对比了成对安置和单独安置时收容所犬只的表现。故本段主要讲这次研究的必要性。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“They observed the dogs over a week, recording common stress behaviors. These include lip-licking and pulling back their ears. The team also took daily samples of the dogs’ urinary cortisol (尿皮质醇) to measure for biological indicators of stress.（研究人员对狗进行了一周的观察，记录了常见的紧张行为，其中包括舔嘴巴和向后伸耳朵。团队还每天采集狗的尿皮质醇样本作为测量压力的生物学指标）”可知，研究人员是通过分析生物学样本来测量狗的压力水平的。故选C。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段引述Feuerbacher的话“Many potential adopters might already have a dog,（很多潜在的收养者可能已经有一条狗了）”及“Clearly exhibiting that a dog can successfully interact with other dogs might highlight those dogs as good matches — leading to more successful adoptions.（清楚地表明一只狗可以成功地与其他狗互动，可能会突出这些狗是很好的伴侣，从而导致更成功的收养。）”可知，Feuerbacher解释说与同伴一起安置的狗被收养得更快，是因为它们能清晰地展现出它们能更好地和其他犬只互动，从而更受可能已经有一条狗的收养者青睐。故选B。 D Older people traditionally struggle with new tech, but it doesn’t have to be this way. With the right design, even the most unwilling user can obtain the benefits. A lack of understanding of technology and its benefits, along with difficulty in using hi-tech products, such as a smartphone or computer, leads to the result that many seniors hesitate to migrate from the old to the new. This is a mistake. Older people themselves must consider whether they want to embrace new technology, or let the benefits pass them by. Technology, often in the form of social media, has enabled seniors to meet new friends, keep in touch with old ones and learn new skills. The reasons why some older people adopt new technology are likely to be twofold: they’re forced to do so and they want to make their lives easier. These reasons are important for anyone who realizes seniors need to be convinced to engage with technology to consider. Adopting new technology is often imperative for modern people to do, yet some elderly still insist, “I have managed before without technology. Why do I have to use it now?” Seniors often become frustrated with technology. “It’s not working, ” is a complaint co-author Lucia heard many times from her late father, especially when it came to his cell phone-and he used technology well, for the most part. Often, the problem was that he was unable to use the small keypad( 键盘) on his phone or read the letter size of the words in text messages he received. One issue that needs to be addressed is the design of technology. Seniors want web pages to be simple and clear, and navigation easy. One study from 2005 shows that many seniors like a website to be user-friendly with a simple interface (界面). “A simpler and more uniformly designed internet would help to break down the psychological barriers outlined, ”it states. While that study was carried out years ago, this problem with web design still stands. 12. Why do older people hesitate to embrace new techs? A. They misunderstand computer’s design. B. They are unwilling to change into the new. C. They lack access to smartphones and computers. D. They have difficulty in using technological products. 13. What does the example of Lucia’s father tell us in paragraph 6? A. Seniors often feel upset about new technologies. B. Seniors always face the breakdown of smartphones. C. Seniors refuse to use the small keypad on their phone. D. Seniors can’t understand the text messages they receive. 14. What might be discussed in the next paragraph? A. Ways for web-designers to make internet easier to navigate. B. Psychological barriers of seniors to adopt new technology. C. Methods of tackling breaking down issues of computers. D. Other researches related to seniors’ dissatisfaction. 15. What is the best title of the passage? A. To use or not to use: a technological dilemma B. Exploring benefits for seniors to accept hi-techs C. To say yes to the smartphone: a beautiful mistake D. Bridging the gap between seniors and technology 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了老年人在当今社会面临新科技的冲击，拒绝或犹豫使用新技术、新产品的现状。本文也提出了应对这一问题的解决措施。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“A lack of understanding of technology and its benefits, along with difficulty in using hi-tech products, such as a smartphone or computer, leads to the result that many seniors hesitate to migrate from the old to the new.(由于缺乏对科技及其好处了解，再加上难以使用智能手机或电脑等高科技产品，导致许多老年人对从旧产品转向新产品犹豫不决。)”可知，老年人面对新科技时犹豫不决的原因是缺乏对科技和其益处的理解和认识，使用高科技产品时有困难。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段中“Seniors often become frustrated with technology. “It’s not working, ” is a complaint co-author Lucia heard many times from her late father, especially when it came to his cell phone-and he used technology well, for the most part. Often, the problem was that he was unable to use the small keypad(键盘) on his phone or read the letter size of the words in text messages he received.(老年人经常对科技感到沮丧。“它不管用，”这是作者之一露西亚从她已故的父亲那里听到过很多次的抱怨，特别是当谈到他的手机时——他在很大程度上很好地使用了科技。通常，问题是他无法使用手机上的小键盘，也无法阅读收到的短信中单词的字母大小。)”可推出，露西亚的爸爸经常抱怨他的智能手机，其原因多在于他没法使用手机上的小键盘，也无法阅读手机上收到的信息，故通过露西亚父亲的例子，文章主要说明的是老年人对使用新科技很沮丧。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。结合最后一段““A simpler and more uniformly designed internet would help to break down the psychological barriers outlined, ”it states. While that study was carried out years ago, this problem with web design still stands.(报告称：“一个更简单、设计更统一的互联网将有助于打破上述心理障碍。”虽然这项研究是在几年前进行的，但网页设计的这个问题仍然存在。)”可知，现在的网页设计还存在问题，急需设计一个页面更加简洁、统一的网页页面来解决问题，可推出下一段应当描写网页设计者如何设计出简洁、易于老年人浏览的网页。故选A。 15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Older people traditionally struggle with new tech, but it doesn’t have to be this way. With the right design, even the most unwilling user can obtain the benefits.(传统上，老年人很难接受新技术，但这并不是必然的。有了正确的设计，即使是最不愿意的用户也能从中获益。)”可知，全文主要在处理老年人在使用新科技时面临的困难以及在文中提及了相应的解决办法。故D选项“Bridging the gap between seniors and technology(弥合老年人与科技之间的鸿沟)”适合作为文章的标题。故选D。 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。 Looking for a job where you can make a difference?

According to the legends, the dragon is capable ____37____ changing its size and visibility at will.

Its ____39____ (mystery) powers — particularly its control over rain —____40____ (be) important to agricultural society all the time. The lucky creature was historically associated with the East, ____41____ used as a symbol to represent imperial power, explaining the significance of the dragon in Chinese culture. Dragons can be found throughout ancient Chinese art. Take the Jade Jue dragon as an example. It was the Neolithic period between 5,500 BC to 5,000 BC ____42____ the Jade Jue dragon from Liaoning Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology dates back to. It is ____43____ object from the late Hongshan culture period. It has a large head, with pointed ears and protruding (突出的) jaws. Jue objects are widely believed to be the earliest ____44____ (image) of the dragon, and archaeologists have supposed that the image could _____45_____ (original) have been based on a pig, bear or even a silkworm. 【答案】36. is recognized 37. of 38. hiding 39. mysterious 40. were 41. and 42. that 43. an 44. images 45. originally 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了十二生肖中唯一一个虚构的生肖动物——龙——的相关知识。 【36题详解】 考查时态和语态。句意：它在传说中已经存在了数千年，被公认为民族图腾，在中国文化中具有长期的精神重要性。空处和前面的has been、后面的has是并列谓语，动词recognize与主语It(指dragon)为被动关系，应使用被动语态，且这里陈述的是现实的情况，应使用一般现在时，助动词be应使用单数形式。故填is recognized。 【37题详解】 考查介词。句意：根据传说，龙能够随意改变它的大小和可见性。be capable of意为“能够”，为固定搭配。故填of。 【38题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：在春分的时候，人们可以看到它飞过云层，或者在秋分的时候躲在水里。be found doing意为“被发现做某事”，现在分词作主语补足语。该空与flying并列作主语补足语，与主语It为主动关系。故填hiding。 【39题详解】 考查形容词。句意：它的神秘力量——尤其是对雨的控制——始终对农业社会至关重要。该空应用形容词作定语修饰名词powers，mysterious意为“神秘的”。故填mysterious。 【40题详解】 考查时态和主谓一致。句意参考上题。空处为句子谓语动词。根据后面的agricultural society可知，本句是在介绍古代农业社会时期的情况，应使用一般过去时，主语powers为名词复数，be动词应用were。故填were。 【41题详解】 考查连词。句意：这种吉祥的生物在历史上与东方联系在一起，并被用作代表皇权的象征，解释了龙在中国文化中的重要性。use...as...意为“将……用作……”，这里为被动形式。空后的used as和前面的was historically associated并列作谓语，省略和前面一样的助动词was，所以空处应填并列连词and。故填and。 【42题详解】 考查强调句。句意：辽宁省文物考古研究院的玉猪龙可追溯到公元前5500年至公元前5000年的新石器时代。去掉It was和空处，本句成分和意义均完整，所以这里为It was...that/who...强调句，被强调部分是作宾语的the Neolithic period between 5,500 BC to 5,000 BC，所以应用that。故填that。 【43题详解】 考查冠词。句意：它是红山文化晚期的一个器物。空后名词object为可数名词单数，此处泛指，应填不定冠词，且该名词发音以元音音素开头，应用an。故填an。 【44题详解】 考查名词的数。句意：人们普遍认为，这些猪类器物是最早的龙的形象，考古学家认为，这一形象最初可能是基于猪、熊甚至蚕的形象。image为可数名词，在句中作表语，其主语为复数名词objects，所以该空应填名词复数形式。故填images。 【45题详解】 考查副词。句意参考上题。该空应用副词作状语，修饰谓语动词could have been based。originally意为“起初，最初”。故填originally。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 假如你是李华，你有一个朋友Tom对中国的中秋节非常感兴趣，但他目前不在中国，错过了刚刚过去的这个节日。请你给Tom写封信，邀请他明年到你家来过中秋节，亲自体验。内容包括： 1. 对Tom今年没能体验中秋节表示遗憾； 2. 简要介绍中秋节； 3. 期待明年与Tom共度节日。 注意：1. 写作词数应为80个左右； 2. 可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： Dear Tom, I’m sorry for your not being able to experience the Mid-Autumn Festival this year.

Having failed the college entrance exams and changed schools twice, I seldom smiled. Every day I would sit at the desk, staring into textbooks and exercises, motionless and heavy-hearted. However, my classmates were in a different picture. They were playing, laughing and chatting delightedly. Besides, I hated it when they were always answering the teachers’ questions, loudly and confidently. Obviously, I had no friends in this fiercely competitive class. Life is harder for senior students. Hardly does a day go by without exercises or tests. Every time when the scores came out mine wouldn’t be the first or second but last. I was especially tired of the endless exercises and exams, which I seemingly would never do well in. I was under a lot of pressure, feeling like a fish being fried in a pan. Hanging over me was a dark cloud. The only dim light came from Mr. Smith. Every time I stepped into the classroom, he welcomed me with a warm smile; every time my gaze began to wander over the classroom or stare out of the window, his caring eyes would draw me back to his class. Besides, he was the only teacher who invited me to the office, talking about my studies and scores. I remembered when I came out of his office, I felt refreshed believing that I could work harder. I was feeling everything was changing for the better. I prepared hard for the final exam of the first semester, desiring to prove that I was not the last one. So before Mr. Smith told us the test result, I was expecting something good in store for me. But I was still the last one in the class. A burst of sadness and shame consuming me, I was heartbroken. 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。 Right at that moment, Mr. Smith invited me to his office. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, the college admission letter came. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考答案 Right at that moment, Mr. Smith invited me to his office. Hesitantly, I walked into the office. Mr. Smith greeted me with a smile. As he began talking, not about my grades or mistakes, but about my potential and perseverance, it became apparent that this talk was totally a different one. He didn’t blame me. Instead, he praised my resilience and determination. He encouraged me to embrace my struggles, reminding me that success was never a straight path. In his eyes, I could see his belief in me, and I knew I should never quit. Finally, the college admission letter came. I held it in my shaking hands, doubting whether I was in a world of fantasy. But as I opened the envelope, I couldn’t believe my eyes. Despite all the odds, I got admitted! I stared at the letter in disbelief for a long time. It felt like the dawn after a seemingly endless night, a reward for the perseverance I didn’t know I had until Mr. Smith showed me. Tears welling up in my eyes. Mr. Smith might never know how much his encouragement might mean to me in my toughest time. 【解析】 【导语】本文以情感发展为线索展开，讲述了作者因高考失利、转学两次，心情沉重，感到孤独和无助。在班级竞争激烈的环境中，作者成绩不佳，压力巨大。然而，史密斯老师的关心和鼓励给了作者温暖和力量，最终帮助作者走出低谷，成功被大学录取。 【详解】段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“就在那一刻，史密斯先生邀请我去他的办公室。”可知，第一段可描写作者在史密斯先生的办公室里，史密斯先生对作者的鼓励和支持，以及作者的内心感受。 ②由第二段首句内容“最后，大学录取通知书来了。”可知，第二段可描写作者收到大学录取通知书后的喜悦和激动，以及对史密斯先生的感激之情。 2.续写线索：邀请——鼓励——内心感受——收到通知书——喜悦——感激 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①邀请：invite/call in/ask for ②鼓励：encourage/inspire/urge ③收到：receive/get/obtain 情绪类 ①喜悦：delight/happiness/joy ②感激：gratitude/appreciation/thankfulness 【点睛】[高分句型1].

Don’t Shed Your Tears for Anyone Who Lives on These Streets, by Patricio Pron In April 1945, Italy, a writer disappeared at a conference and was found dead at another place. Thirty years later, a young man interviewed survivors from the conference, trying to uncover the truth about what happened and its consequences. This novel, by a well-known Argentine writer, explores art, crime and politics. When Breath Becomes Air, by Paul Kalanithi At thirty-six, Paul Kalanithi was diagnosed (诊断) with stage IV lung cancer. One day he was a doctor treating the dying, and the next he was a patient. This autobiography finds hope and beauty in the face of death as Kalanithi attempts to answer the question “What makes a life worth living?”. To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee Set in a small Alabama town in the 1930s, the story focuses on honest, highly respected lawyer Atticus Finch who puts his career on the line when he agrees to represent Tom Robinson, a black man accused of committing a crime. Nobody Will Tell You This But Me: A true (as told to me) story by Bess Kalb Bess Kalb saved every voicemail from her grandmother Bobby Bell who died at ninety. In this book, Bobby is speaking to Bess once more, in a voice as loving as it ever was in life and brings us several generations of brave women.

But when he was just 14 years old, he got heartbreaking news that he had a rare form of bone cancer growing in his left leg. His baseball playing came to a sudden stop as he spent the next three years undergoing six surgeries, 24 treatments and 18 hospital stays. The young pitcher’s leg would never be strong enough to make competitive playing an option. “At the time I guess I was just kind of in denial, because my whole life, day in and day out, was built around baseball and sports,” Walker said. “It was pretty disastrous,” his mom, Pam said. The most the 17-year-old would be able to do is play catch with his teammates as they warmed up for their games. As the team approached the final game of the season, Walker’s parents and coach agreed that he could pitch (投球) for an inning (一局) or two for the old time’s sake. “Say you did it, have some fun, and then that’ll be it. Obviously, that’s not what happened,” Walker said. What ended up happening was more than anyone ever expected. Walker not only threw solid pitches in that first inning, but he also ended up pitching a no-hitter. The coach decided to keep him in the game until he started giving up pitches, but that never happened. Smallwood struck out all but two hitters for the entire game and tied a school record in the process. “I was in tears, most of the stands were in tears — just one of those special moments that we’ll cherish forever,” mom Pam said. Smallwood may never play again. He’s actually fine with that now because who needs a World Series ring when you’ve already taken on your greatest competitor and gone undefeated. 4. What does the word “It” underlined in paragraph 2 refer to? A. The serious injury to his leg. B. The childhood baseball dream. C. The risk of multiple surgeries. D. The long-term mental stress. 5. Which of the following best describes Walker Smallwood? A Confident and energetic. B. Ambitious and determined. C. Brilliant and considerate. D. Optimistic and independent. 6. Why does the author mention a World Series ring in the last paragraph? A. To emphasize the value of cherishing every moment. B. To stress the significance of any championship prize. C. To highlight Walker’s personal success at the game. D. To serves as a reminder of challenges in Walker’s life. 7. What can we learn from Walker’s story? A. Misfortune can tell us what fortune is. B. You can’t teach an old dog new tricks. C. Constant dropping wears away a stone. D. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. C For shelter dogs, awaiting adoption can be stressful. Roughly 4.1 million dogs enter animal shelters in the United’ States every single year. Dogs housed in shelters can face great stress due to noise and limited spaces, which can reduce their overall well-being and impact their adoptability. A study published in the journal PLOS ONE found that dogs kept together with companions showed fewer signs of stress and were even adopted more quickly. “Despite being a social species, dogs are often housed alone in shelters to reduce disease transmission and possible injury from inter- dog conflicts. But this practice can work against dogs’ behavioral health and adoptability,” study co-author and Virginia Tech University animal behavior psychologist Eric a Feuerbacher said in a statement.“ We wanted to examine whether pair housing could be a useful intervention for improving shelter dogs’ welfare.” Prior studies have suggested that co-housing can produce behavioral and physiological benefits. These studies have typically focused on laboratory dogs or dogs housed for more than six months at veterinary (兽医的) schools. However, those results might not necessarily apply to shelter dogs, many of which have shorter lengths of stay than those dogs studied. This study is the first to examine how U. S.-based shelter dogs perform in co-housing vs. single-housing. This new study followed 61 dogs, most of which had recently entered the Humane Society of Western Montana. The team placed half of the dogs in co- housing with partners who were put together after a compatibility (兼容) test. The other half were housed alone. They observed the dogs over a week, recording common stress behaviors. These include lip-licking and pulling back their ears. The team also took daily samples of the dogs’ urinary cortisol (尿皮质醇) to measure for biological indicators of stress. The dogs that were housed with a companion showed fewer stress behaviors. They were also adopted four days sooner than the single-housed dogs on average. “Many potential adopters might already have a dog,” Feuerbacher said. “Clearly exhibiting that a dog can successfully interact with other dogs might highlight those dogs as good matches — leading to more successful adoptions.” 8. What is the aim of their study according to Erica Feuerbacher? A. To test the effect of pair housing on shelter dogs. B. To reveal the situation of dogs in animal shelters. C To investigate the impact of stress on dogs’ health. D. To identify the reasons for dogs’ stress in shelters. 9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The limitations of housing dogs alone. B. The benefits of co-housing dogs in the lab. C. The achievement of previous related studies. D. The necessity of conducting the new study. 10. How did the researchers measure stress levels of the dogs? A. By changing the dogs’ shelters. B. By performing a compatibility test. C. By analyzing their biological samples. D. By recording the frequency of their conflicts. 11. According to the study, why did the co-housed dogs get adopted faster? A. They had shorter stay length in the shelter. B. They interacted better with their partners. C. They seemed to be loyal to the new adopters. D. They exhibited greater ability to live alone. D Older people traditionally struggle with new tech, but it doesn’t have to be this way. With the right design, even the most unwilling user can obtain the benefits. A lack of understanding of technology and its benefits, along with difficulty in using hi-tech products, such as a smartphone or computer, leads to the result that many seniors hesitate to migrate from the old to the new. This is a mistake. Older people themselves must consider whether they want to embrace new technology, or let the benefits pass them by. Technology, often in the form of social media, has enabled seniors to meet new friends, keep in touch with old ones and learn new skills. The reasons why some older people adopt new technology are likely to be twofold: they’re forced to do so and they want to make their lives easier. These reasons are important for anyone who realizes seniors need to be convinced to engage with technology to consider. Adopting new technology is often imperative for modern people to do, yet some elderly still insist, “I have managed before without technology. Why do I have to use it now?” Seniors often become frustrated with technology. “It’s not working, ” is a complaint co-author Lucia heard many times from her late father, especially when it came to his cell phone-and he used technology well, for the most part. Often, the problem was that he was unable to use the small keypad( 键盘) on his phone or read the letter size of the words in text messages he received. One issue that needs to be addressed is the design of technology. Seniors want web pages to be simple and clear, and navigation easy. One study from 2005 shows that many seniors like a website to be user-friendly with a simple interface (界面). “A simpler and more uniformly designed internet would help to break down the psychological barriers outlined, ”it states. While that study was carried out years ago, this problem with web design still stands. 12. Why do older people hesitate to embrace new techs? A. They misunderstand computer’s design. B. They are unwilling to change into the new. C. They lack access to smartphones and computers. D. They have difficulty in using technological products. 13. What does the example of Lucia’s father tell us in paragraph 6? A. Seniors often feel upset about new technologies. B. Seniors always face the breakdown of smartphones. C. Seniors refuse to use the small keypad on their phone. D. Seniors can’t understand the text messages they receive. 14. What might be discussed in the next paragraph? A. Ways for web-designers to make internet easier to navigate. B. Psychological barriers of seniors to adopt new technology. C. Methods of tackling breaking down issues of computers. D. Other researches related to seniors’ dissatisfaction. 15. What is the best title of the passage? A. To use or not to use: a technological dilemma B. Exploring benefits for seniors to accept hi-techs C. To say yes to the smartphone: a beautiful mistake D.

Having failed the college entrance exams and changed schools twice, I seldom smiled. Every day I would sit at the desk, staring into textbooks and exercises, motionless and heavy-hearted. However, my classmates were in a different picture. They were playing, laughing and chatting delightedly. Besides, I hated it when they were always answering the teachers’ questions, loudly and confidently. Obviously, I had no friends in this fiercely competitive class. Life is harder for senior students. Hardly does a day go by without exercises or tests. Every time when the scores came out mine wouldn’t be the first or second but last. I was especially tired of the endless exercises and exams, which I seemingly would never do well in. I was under a lot of pressure, feeling like a fish being fried in a pan. Hanging over me was a dark cloud. The only dim light came from Mr. Smith. Every time I stepped into the classroom, he welcomed me with a warm smile; every time my gaze began to wander over the classroom or stare out of the window, his caring eyes would draw me back to his class. Besides, he was the only teacher who invited me to the office, talking about my studies and scores. I remembered when I came out of his office, I felt refreshed believing that I could work harder. I was feeling everything was changing for the better. I prepared hard for the final exam of the first semester, desiring to prove that I was not the last one. So before Mr. Smith told us the test result, I was expecting something good in store for me. But I was still the last one in the class. A burst of sadness and shame consuming me, I was heartbroken. 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。 Right at that moment, Mr. Smith invited me to his office. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, the college admission letter came. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
