Raised in a fatherless home, my father was extremely tightfisted towards us children. His attitude didn’t soften as I grew into adulthood and drifted away to college. I had to ride the bus whenever I came home. Though the bus stopped about two miles from home, Dad never met me, even in cold weather. If I grumbled (嘟囔), he’d say in his loudest father voice, “That’s what your legs are for!”
The walk didn’t bother me as much as the fear of walking alone along the highway and country roads. I also felt less than valued that my father didn’t seem concerned about my safety. That feeling was canceled one spring evening.
It had been a particularly difficult week at college after long hours in labs. I longed for home. When the bus reached a stop, I stepped off and dragged my suitcase to begin the long journey home.
A row of hedge (篱笆) edged the driveway that climbed the hill to our house. Once I had turned off the highway to start the last lap of my journey, I was always relieved to see the hedge because it meant that I was almost home. On that particular evening, the hedge had just come into view when I saw something gray moving along the top of the hedge, moving toward the house. Upon closer observation, I realized it was the top of my father’s head. Then I knew, each time I’d come home, he had stood behind the hedge, watching, until he knew I had arrived safely. I swallowed hard against the threatening tears. He did care, after all.
On later visits, that spot of gray became my watchtower. I could hardly wait until I was close enough to watch for its secret movement above the greenery. Upon reaching home, I would find my father sitting innocently in his chair. “So! My son, it’s you!” he’d say, his face lengthening into pretended surprise.
I replied, “Yes, Dad, it’s me. I’m home.”
4. What did the author think of the two-mile walk home?
A. It reflected his value.
B. It was the most troublesome.
C. It wasn’t ranked number one in his concerns.
D. It was extremely unbearable in cold weathers.

A. The author often changed routes back home.
B. He wanted to help the author build up courage.
C. He was really concerned about his son’s safety.
D. That was the only way he could express his love.
7. What is the passage mainly about?
A. It’s about my father’s special love. B. It’s about my childhood life.
C. It’s about my terrible journey home. D. It’s about my riding bus alone.
C
A modern problem of the outdoor lifestyle is how to keep your devices powered. Battery packs are one option, but they have limited use and can be rather heavy. The team at Aurea Technologies has come to the rescue with the Shine Turbine, a lightweight wind-powered turbine (涡轮机) that offers renewable energy to outdoor enthusiasts who need to re charge electronic devices.
Last year, the Shine Turbine launched a campaign that was fully funded in a matter of hours, highlighting the level of interest in this innovative product. Designed in Nova Scotia, Canada, the turbine weighs in at just three pounds and is about the size of a water bottle for easy pack-and-go accessibility. While out backpacking or working remotely, the Shine Turbine takes just a few minutes to set up. There are no loose pieces to worry about losing while you f old out the high-efficiency blades and place the turbine on the retractable stand (可伸缩支架). Everything you need is stored inside the container.
This clean energy option also has battery storage, so you can charge your devices as the wind blows. Then you can take it with you for more charging later. It can also be pre - charged before you head out using a standard wall outlet.
“Wind is the second-largest producer of clean energy in the world, yet most people don’t have direct access to it. As a team of outdoor enthusiasts with backgrounds in science and engineering, we set out to create a wind power product that gives users the freedom to produce their own clean energy day or night, rain, cloud, or shine,” said Cat Adalay, CEO and founder of Aurea Technologies.
The portable design makes it convenient to use for day trip s to the beach or mountains, camping trips or as an emergency backup. “To live sustainably (可持续地), we need to rethink the ways in which we create and use energy,” added Adalay. “The simplicity of our design, two-minute setup, and ability to rapidly generate and store power, does just that. It’s a game-changer in allowing people to access wind energy in the wind.”
8. What can we learn about the Shine Turbine from the text?
A. It is intelligent and works efficiently. B. It is user- friendly but expensive to buy.
C. It is sustainable and convenient to carry. D. It is cost- effective but breaks down easily.
9. What kind of people might need the Shine Turbine most according to the text?
A. Emergency rescuers. B. Sea surfboarders.
C. Rock- climbing lovers. D. Geological explorers.
10. Why do the researchers create the Shine Turbine?
A. Their product obtains financial support. B. They want to gain direct access to wind.
C. They attempt to prevent global warming. D. Their desired life promotes green rethink.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Wind: the world’s second clean energy B. Aurea Technologies: innovative pioneers
C. The Shine Turbine: a green power product D. Outdoor lovers: environment campaigners
D
The meeting continues, and you feel your eyes getting heavy, your mind drowsy (昏昏欲睡). Suddenly you wake up and get a very attentive wakefulness — did anyone see me doze off (打盹)? You’ve fallen into a microsleep, a very brief sleep that ends almost as soon as it begins. When you’re trying to be awake and active, these may make you feel anxious or, if they happen behind the wheel, justifiably terrified.
Microsleeps don’t make us feel rested or restored, like longer periods of uninterrupted sleep would. Yet a new study shows that nesting chinstrap penguins (帽带企鹅) sleep just this way more than 10, 000 times a day. Incredibly, our experiments prove that this strange sleep cycle seems to do the birds no obvious harm.
“What is really weird is that the penguin can sustain this in-between wake and sleep state constantly,” explains co-author Paul-Antoine Libourel, who studies the biology of sleep. Simply watching the penguins nod and blink gave the appearance that they were drowsy, he adds, but the extent of their sleeping was a surprise.
To study these penguins, for two weeks, the scientists used some sensors to record data to measure the birds’ sleep-related brain activity. Other sensors recorded the birds’ positions (standing, lying, diving), tracked their location via GPS, and collected environmental data like temperature. The authors also did continuous video monitoring of the same nesting birds so that their observable behaviors could be matched with simultaneous data on their brain activity.
Researchers discovered that the birds nodded off thousands of times per day, engaging in microsleeps that averaged just four seconds each but added up to more than 11 hours of sleep per day.
Why would the birds adopt this fascinating sleep cycle? The need to sleep briefly could simply be a consequence of living in a noisy group where sleep is constantly interrupted. The constant guard also help keep the nests safe from the brown skua bird, which feeds on penguin eggs and chicks. Having only seconds of sleep at a time would allow the birds to react to any possible dangers.
12. How does the author introduce the topic in the first paragraph?
A. By describing a familiar scene. B. By introducing a sleep pattern.
C. By reminding you of a bad habit. D. By showing the boredom of meetings.
13. What does the underlined word “weird” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Inspiring. B. Strange. C. Worrying. D. Meaningful.
14. How did the scientists study the penguins?
A They only used video monitoring to record the penguins' behaviors.
B. They applied sensors to record data and the birds’ positions .
C. They mainly focused on collecting environmental data .
D. They studied the penguins' brain activity by using GPS.
15. What might contribute to chinstrap penguins’ sleep pattern?
A. Their unique brain structure. B. Their years’ of hard training.
C. Their tough living environment. D. Their special standing position

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。
My family had a hard time when I was in Grade 11. My parents lost their jobs during the Depression. Dad was too ill to work outside, while Mum had a tough time raising us kids on her own in our small community. We relied on our community assistance to keep us clothed, and although our clothes were secondhand, we thought they were beautiful.
Looking back, I realize what Mum went through for sending us kids to school. Every morning she would put a new piece of cardboard in our shoes, because our shoes were worn out. Moving house constantly was typical for my family during the period. Rent was twenty-five dollars a month, but Mum couldn’t pay it. These were hard and sad years, but we never complained.
The new year was approaching, and we were entitled (享有)to a twenty-five dollar fund for social services. Mum said that instead of buying food, she would use the money to pay back rent, making sure we all had a roof over our heads for a little while longer. She told us then there would be nothing for the new year.
Unknown to Mum, I had been removing snow and doing odd jobs to earn enough money to buy a new pair of shoes. I knew exactly which shoes I wanted. They were made of genuine leather and they had a price of twenty-three dollars. Well, the big day came on the last day of that year. I was very excited, as I was hurrying up to catch the bus. It was only a half-a-mile walk, but on the way I noticed a house with lights and decorations. It was then that I realized in our house, we had no lights, no decorations, nor any money for goodies (好吃的东西). I knew then that we would have no delicious food for the new year, and I felt sad.
As I continued walking, I began to feel confused. I was sixteen years old, and I was feeling a strange sense of guilt. Here I was going to buy a new pair of shoes while Mum was home in tears. She would be trying to explain to us why there were no presents.
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。
I thought how I ought to use the money I had earned.

Raised in a fatherless home, my father was extremely tightfisted towards us children. His attitude didn’t soften as I grew into adulthood and drifted away to college. I had to ride the bus whenever I came home. Though the bus stopped about two miles from home, Dad never met me, even in cold weather. If I grumbled (嘟囔), he’d say in his loudest father voice, “That’s what your legs are for!”
The walk didn’t bother me as much as the fear of walking alone along the highway and country roads. I also felt less than valued that my father didn’t seem concerned about my safety. That feeling was canceled one spring evening.
It had been a particularly difficult week at college after long hours in labs. I longed for home. When the bus reached a stop, I stepped off and dragged my suitcase to begin the long journey home.
A row of hedge (篱笆) edged the driveway that climbed the hill to our house. Once I had turned off the highway to start the last lap of my journey, I was always relieved to see the hedge because it meant that I was almost home. On that particular evening, the hedge had just come into view when I saw something gray moving along the top of the hedge, moving toward the house. Upon closer observation, I realized it was the top of my father’s head. Then I knew, each time I’d come home, he had stood behind the hedge, watching, until he knew I had arrived safely. I swallowed hard against the threatening tears. He did care, after all.
On later visits, that spot of gray became my watchtower. I could hardly wait until I was close enough to watch for its secret movement above the greenery. Upon reaching home, I would find my father sitting innocently in his chair. “So! My son, it’s you!” he’d say, his face lengthening into pretended surprise.
I replied, “Yes, Dad, it’s me. I’m home.”

A modern problem of the outdoor lifestyle is how to keep your devices powered. Battery packs are one option, but they have limited use and can be rather heavy. The team at Aurea Technologies has come to the rescue with the Shine Turbine, a lightweight wind-powered turbine (涡轮机) that offers renewable energy to outdoor enthusiasts who need to re charge electronic devices.
Last year, the Shine Turbine launched a campaign that was fully funded in a matter of hours, highlighting the level of interest in this innovative product. Designed in Nova Scotia, Canada, the turbine weighs in at just three pounds and is about the size of a water bottle for easy pack-and-go accessibility. While out backpacking or working remotely, the Shine Turbine takes just a few minutes to set up. There are no loose pieces to worry about losing while you f old out the high-efficiency blades and place the turbine on the retractable stand (可伸缩支架). Everything you need is stored inside the container.
This clean energy option also has battery storage, so you can charge your devices as the wind blows. Then you can take it with you for more charging later. It can also be pre - charged before you head out using a standard wall outlet.
“Wind is the second-largest producer of clean energy in the world, yet most people don’t have direct access to it. As a team of outdoor enthusiasts with backgrounds in science and engineering, we set out to create a wind power product that gives users the freedom to produce their own clean energy day or night, rain, cloud, or shine,” said Cat Adalay, CEO and founder of Aurea Technologies.
The portable design makes it convenient to use for day trip s to the beach or mountains, camping trips or as an emergency backup. “To live sustainably (可持续地), we need to rethink the ways in which we create and use energy,” added Adalay. “The simplicity of our design, two-minute setup, and ability to rapidly generate and store power, does just that. It’s a game-changer in allowing people to access wind energy in the wind.”
8. What can we learn about the Shine Turbine from the text?
A. It is intelligent and works efficiently. B. It is user- friendly but expensive to buy.
C. It is sustainable and convenient to carry. D. It is cost- effective but breaks down easily.

The meeting continues, and you feel your eyes getting heavy, your mind drowsy (昏昏欲睡). Suddenly you wake up and get a very attentive wakefulness — did anyone see me doze off (打盹)? You’ve fallen into a microsleep, a very brief sleep that ends almost as soon as it begins. When you’re trying to be awake and active, these may make you feel anxious or, if they happen behind the wheel, justifiably terrified.
Microsleeps don’t make us feel rested or restored, like longer periods of uninterrupted sleep would. Yet a new study shows that nesting chinstrap penguins (帽带企鹅) sleep just this way more than 10, 000 times a day. Incredibly, our experiments prove that this strange sleep cycle seems to do the birds no obvious harm.
“What is really weird is that the penguin can sustain this in-between wake and sleep state constantly,” explains co-author Paul-Antoine Libourel, who studies the biology of sleep. Simply watching the penguins nod and blink gave the appearance that they were drowsy, he adds, but the extent of their sleeping was a surprise.
To study these penguins, for two weeks, the scientists used some sensors to record data to measure the birds’ sleep-related brain activity. Other sensors recorded the birds’ positions (standing, lying, diving), tracked their location via GPS, and collected environmental data like temperature. The authors also did continuous video monitoring of the same nesting birds so that their observable behaviors could be matched with simultaneous data on their brain activity.
Researchers discovered that the birds nodded off thousands of times per day, engaging in microsleeps that averaged just four seconds each but added up to more than 11 hours of sleep per day.
Why would the birds adopt this fascinating sleep cycle? The need to sleep briefly could simply be a consequence of living in a noisy group where sleep is constantly interrupted. The constant guard also help keep the nests safe from the brown skua bird, which feeds on penguin eggs and chicks. Having only seconds of sleep at a time would allow the birds to react to any possible dangers.
12. How does the author introduce the topic in the first paragraph?
A. By describing a familiar scene. B. By introducing a sleep pattern.
C. By reminding you of a bad habit. D. By showing the boredom of meetings.
13. What does the underlined word “weird” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Inspiring. B. Strange. C. Worrying. D. Meaningful.
14. How did the scientists study the penguins?
A. They only used video monitoring to record the penguins' behaviors.
B. They applied sensors to record data and the birds’ positions .
C. They mainly focused on collecting environmental data .
D. They studied the penguins' brain activity by using GPS.
15. What might contribute to chinstrap penguins’ sleep pattern?
A. Their unique brain structure. B. Their years’ of hard training.
C. Their tough living environment. D. Their special standing position
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. B 15. C

【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“The meeting continues, and you feel your eyes getting heavy, your mind drowsy (昏昏欲睡). Suddenly you wake up and get a very attentive wakefulness — did anyone see me doze off (打盹) ? You’ve fallen into a microsleep, a very brief sleep that ends almost as soon as it begins.(会议仍在继续,你觉得你的眼睛越来越重,你的头脑昏昏欲睡。突然你醒来,变得非常专注地清醒——有人看到我打瞌睡了吗?你陷入了微睡眠,一种非常短暂的睡眠,几乎一开始就结束了)”可知,在第一段中,作者描述了一个开会时打盹的场景,这是很多人都会经历的事情,由此可推知,第一段是通过描述一个熟悉的场景来引入话题的。故选A。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第二段“Incredibly, our experiments prove that this strange sleep cycle seems to do the birds no obvious harm.(令人难以置信的是,我们的实验证明,这种奇怪的睡眠周期似乎对鸟类没有明显的伤害。)”以及第三段“but the extent of their sleeping was a surprise(但他们的睡眠程度令人惊讶)”以及划线词所在句子“What is really weird is that the penguin can sustain this in- between wake and sleep state constantly(真正weird的是,企鹅可以持续保持这种介于清醒和睡眠之间的状态)”可知,企鹅可以持续保持这种介于清醒和睡眠之间的状态是奇怪的,所以weird的意思与“奇怪的”意义相近。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的“To study these penguins, for two weeks, the scientists used some sensors to record data to measure the birds’ sleep-related brain activity. Other sensors recorded the birds’ positions (standing, lying, diving), tracked their location via GPS, and collected environmental data like temperature.(为了对这些企鹅进行为期两周的研究,科学家们使用了一些传感器来记录数据,以测量鸟类与睡眠相关的大脑活动。其他传感器记录了鸟类的位置(站立、躺着、潜水),通过GPS跟踪它们的位置,并收集了温度等环境数据)”可知,科学家们的研究方法包括使用传感器来记录数据和鸟类的位置。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“The need to sleep briefly could simply be a consequence of living in a noisy group where sleep is constantly interrupted. The constant guard also help keep the nests safe from the brown skua bird, which feeds on penguin eggs and chicks. Having only seconds of sleep at a time would allow the birds to react to any possible dangers.(短暂睡眠的需要可能只是生活在一个嘈杂的群体中,睡眠不断被打断的结果。持续的守卫也有助于保护巢穴免受以企鹅蛋和幼鸟为食的棕色贼鸥的伤害。一次只睡几秒钟会让鸟类对任何可能的危险做出反应)”可知,帽带企鹅短暂的睡眠可能是生活在嘈杂的群体中,睡眠经常被打断的结果。同时,这种持续的警觉也有助于保护巢穴免受天敌的侵害。由此可推知,帽带企鹅的睡眠模式可能是由它们艰难的生活环境导致的。故选C。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了旗袍的历史、特征及其在中国和国际上的影响力。
【36题详解】
考查名词。句意:旗袍是一种具有鲜明中国特色的女性服饰,在国际时尚界越来越受欢迎。根据空前的形容词growing可知,空处需要名词作宾语。popular的名词popularity“流行”。故填popularity。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:“旗袍”这个名字的意思就是“长裙”,它从中国广东省的方言中进入了英语词汇。空处需要非谓语动词作定语修饰前面的名词。mean和修饰的名词之间为主动关系,所以用现在分词作定语。故填meaning。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意:然而,在包括北京在内的中国其他地区,它被称为“旗袍”,这背后有一段历史。空处需要介词including“包括”。including Beijing“包括北京”。故填including。
【39题详解】
考查时态语态。句意:然而,在包括北京在内的中国其他地区,它被称为“旗袍”,这背后有一段历史。空处为句子的谓语动词。be known as“被称为;被认为是”。句子陈述一般事实,所以用一般现在时态,主语为第三人称单数形式。故填is known。
【40题详解】
考查时态。句意:清朝早期满族统治者来到中国后,满族妇女通常穿一件长裙,后来被称为“旗袍”。空处为时间状语从句的谓语动词。根据主句中的wore可知,句子陈述过去的事实,所以用一般过去时态。故填came。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意:清朝早期满族统治者来到中国后,满族妇女通常穿一件长裙,后来被称为“旗袍”。空处需要副词修饰动词wore。故填normally。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:旗袍领子高,领口闭合,很好地贴合中国女性的身材,袖子可以是短的、中等长度的或是长的,这取决于季节或个人喜好。空处引导定语从句,修饰先行词The cheongsam,先行词指物,在定语从句中作定语,所以用关系代词whose引导该从句。故填whose。
【43题详解】
考查名词。句意:旗袍领子高,领口闭合,很好地贴合中国女性身材,袖子可以是短的、中等长度的或是长的,这取决于季节或个人喜好。根据空前的full可知,空处需要名词。long的名词形式为length“长度”。故填length。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:另外,旗袍制作起来并不复杂,也不需要太多的布料。本题考查“主语+be+adj.+to do”的结构,意为“某事做起来……”。故填to make。
【45题详解】
考查连词。句意:旗袍可以在休闲场合或正式场合穿着。either…or…“或者……或者……”。故填or。

第二节 (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。
My family had a hard time when I was in Grade 11. My parents lost their jobs during the Depression. Dad was too ill to work outside, while Mum had a tough time raising us kids on her own in our small community. We relied on our community assistance to keep us clothed, and although our clothes were secondhand, we thought they were beautiful.
Looking back, I realize what Mum went through for sending us kids to school. Every morning she would put a new piece of cardboard in our shoes, because our shoes were worn out. Moving house constantly was typical for my family during the period. Rent was twenty-five dollars a month, but Mum couldn’t pay it. These were hard and sad years, but we never complained.
The new year was approaching, and we were entitled (享有)to a twenty-five dollar fund for social services. Mum said that instead of buying food, she would use the money to pay back rent, making sure we all had a roof over our heads for a little while longer. She told us then there would be nothing for the new year.
Unknown to Mum, I had been removing snow and doing odd jobs to earn enough money to buy a new pair of shoes. I knew exactly which shoes I wanted. They were made of genuine leather and they had a price of twenty-three dollars. Well, the big day came on the last day of that year. I was very excited, as I was hurrying up to catch the bus. It was only a half-a-mile walk, but on the way I noticed a house with lights and decorations. It was then that I realized in our house, we had no lights, no decorations, nor any money for goodies (好吃的东西). I knew then that we would have no delicious food for the new year, and I felt sad.
As I continued walking, I began to feel confused. I was sixteen years old, and I was feeling a strange sense of guilt. Here I was going to buy a new pair of shoes while Mum was home in tears. She would be trying to explain to us why there were no presents.
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。
I thought how I ought to use the money I had earned.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Soon I got to my house with the groceries (食品杂货).
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
I thought how I ought to use the money I had earned. The bus drove off without me. Across the street from the bus stop was a big grocery store. I went into the store and bought a turkey, ham, oranges and other goodies. I spent every dollar of my hard-earned money. The owner of the grocery store said, “Girl, the groceries have packed up like a mountain, and you can’t carry them home by yourself.” So I asked two boys with carriers on their bicycles to run them the half-mile down to my house.
Soon I got to my house with the groceries ( 食品杂货 ). With great excitement and tears in my eyes, I knocked on the door. When Mum opened the door, she surprisingly found that some of the groceries fell inside onto the floor. Holding back the tears I whispered “Happy New Year! A big surprise!” “Can you tell me what happened?” Mum was so excited that she cried out. I had a lot of explanation as we unpacked all the food and put it away. That day I got enough hugs and kisses from Mum. Even though I failed to get a new pair of gloves, the smile on Mum’s face made it all worthwhile. It was an unforgettable New Year for us after all!
