You might be wondering why we would celebrate something that seems so strange. But we believe that bad art brings out a different kind of beauty. I’m sure it will surprise you. At first, the co-founder, an art dealer named Scott Wilson, found a painting next to a garbage can and saved it. Then he put it on a special exhibition with some other unfavorable paintings. Unexpectedly, it became a huge hit. So, this museum is a reminder that creativity knows no limits, and that even the least liked pieces can move us deeply. As you journey through our collection, you will see pieces that challenge your traditional opinions of what art should be. Paintings featuring odd figures, strange colors, and unique subjects will catch your eye. The other co-founder of the museum, Marie Jackson, said it was built to celebrate an artist’s right to fail. At the Museum of Bad Art, beautiful mistakes become unforgettable masterpieces. 第二部分 阅读理解(共两节, 满分50分) 第一节(共15小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分37.5分) A Some people learn a foreign language because they want to communicate with the local people. Some other people are just curious about foreign cultures. Whatever your reason may be，the best foreign language software around will certainly help you pick up the language in a few weeks. You will be able to speak fluently and understand the language clearly as well. Tell Me More This software is widely used in U. S. schools，and it is believed to be the best foreign language learning software around the world. It offers instructions for learning Arabic，Chinese，Dutch，English，French，German，Italian，Japanese and Spanish. However，the software does not come cheap as it costs around $250. Talk Now If you are looking for cheaper language learning software，then this is just the suitable choice for you. This software will cost you around $40，and even though it is not as useful as Tell Me More，it is still very good software for the purpose. The disadvantage is that there is a clear lack of interactive （相互作用的） activities for users so it does not result in fluency. Instant Immersion This software supplies learning material for up to 35 different languages，and it is widely considered as the best software for learning Spanish as well. It will cost you around $30，and this is a very reasonable price for such a piece of highly recommended and loved language learning software. The learning courses are highly interactive，and the ever present speech recognition feature ensures that you are getting the pronunciation right when you speak. Kid Speak This is a kind of foreign language translation software that you can make use of，and it will cost you around $30. So it is safe to say that the level of performance will be similar to that of Talk Now. This software is designed more for the use of children for is interesting videos. 21. In learning a language ________. A. different people have different purposes B. talking with the natives is quite necessary C. understanding foreign cultures is very important D. using software is the most effective way 22. What is the disadvantage of Tell Me More？ A. It lacks language learning methods. B. It costs much more than the others. C. It offers no interactive activities. D. It provides no interesting videos for children. 23. Which of the software best suits users with poor pronunciation？ A. Tell Me More B. Talk Now C. Instant Immersion D. Kid Speak 【答案】21. A 22. B 23. C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇应用文。主要介绍了四款语言学习的软件。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Some people learn a foreign language because they want to communicate with the local people. Some other people are just curious about foreign cultures. (有些人学习外语是因为他们想和当地人交流。有些人只是对外国文化感到好奇。)”可知，人们学习外语出于各种原因，即出于不同的目的。故选A项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段小标题Tell Me More下段落中“However，the software does not come cheap as it costs around $250. (然而，这款软件并不便宜，因为它的价格在250美元左右。)”可知，Tell Me More的缺点是它比其他的贵很多。故选B项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段小标题Instant Immersion下段落中“The learning courses are highly interactive，and the ever present speech recognition feature ensures that you are getting the pronunciation right when you speak. (学习课程是高度交互式的，并且始终存在的语音识别功能，确保您在说话时获得正确的发音。)”可知，Instant Immersion这款软件最适合发音不好的用户。故选C项。 B Finnish Lapland, in the far north of Europe, is home to some 180,000 people and around 200,000 reindeer (驯鹿). The animals live wild but each one has an owner, identified by a mark on its ear. Anne Ollila, 50, one of 4,000 such owners, works in the Finnish part of this region with her husband and two adult sons and their families. They farm the animals mainly for meat, but reindeer tourism has also become an important source of income. Ollila lives 80 kilometres inside the Arctic Circle, an hour from Lapland’s capital city, Rovaniemi, and seven kilometres from her nearest neighbour. Summer days — when the reindeer raisers earmark newborn reindeer — are long and in June the sun never sets. At that time Ollila sleeps during the day and walks up to 20 kilometres a night through the forest, making the most of the cooler temperatures to do her work but having to endure large groups of insects along the way. In deepest winter, there is little daylight. Many grasslands are frozen and the reindeer move into the forest for protection against wolves and golden eagles — the birds can kill an adult reindeer. Ollila and her family offer tourists reindeer experiences through their company Reindeer Journey. Visitors can get close to the animals in the wild or at their farm, watching them being trained to pull sledges (雪橇) or take a sleigh ride. “Reindeer are very smart animals,” Ollila says. “They have different personalities, and some are very funny.” One of her favourites is Rocky, named after the movie boxing legend. “He’s very curious and always in trouble,” she says. “He once got himself stuck in tree branches and had to be lifted out, and he has been known to walk off with his owners’ drying underwear.” Ollila gave up her job as a sociology researcher at the University of Lapland in 2010 to devote herself to raising reindeer. “I love the environment, the animals and the freedom,” she says. “Also, I have a sense of belonging to something bigger than me, to a way of life through the generations.” 24. What does the underlined word “endure” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Go away with. B. Catch up with. C. Look forward to. D. Put up with. 25. Why do the reindeer move into the forest in winter according to the text? A. To get earmarked. B. To find their owners. C. To protect themselves. D. To avoid cold temperatures. 26. What does Ollila think of Rocky? A. He is foolish. B. He is a troublemaker. C. He is interested in planting trees. D. He is a famous filmmaker. 27. What can we infer about Ollila from the last paragraph? A. She has a deep affection for nature. B. She has long been tired of raising reindeer. C. She has been a sociology researcher since 2010. D. She had no chance to receive a college education. 【答案】24. D 25. C 26. B 27. A 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Anne Ollila和她的家人饲养驯鹿的故事。 【24题详解】 词义猜测题。根据画线词前“At that time Ollila sleeps during the day and walks up to 20 kilometres a night through the forest, making the most of the cooler temperatures to do her work but having to(在那个时候，奥利拉白天睡觉，晚上步行20公里穿过森林，充分利用较低的温度来完成她的工作，但不得不这样做)”及画线词后“large groups of insects along the way.(沿途有一大群昆虫)”可推断，奥利拉一路上不得不忍受大群的昆虫。画线词的意思和put up with“忍受”最接近。Go away with意为“携带某物离开”；Catch up with意为“追上，赶上”；Look forward to 意为“期待”。故选D。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“In deepest winter, there is little daylight. Many grasslands are frozen and the reindeer move into the forest for protection against wolves and golden eagles— the birds can kill an adult reindeer.(在深冬，几乎没有日光。许多草原都被冻结了，驯鹿为了躲避狼和金雕而进入森林——金雕可以杀死一只成年驯鹿”可知，驯鹿在冬天进入森林是为了保护自己。故选C。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“One of her favourites is Rocky, named after the movie boxing legend. “He’s very curious and always in trouble,” she says. “He once got himself stuck in tree branches and had to be lifted out, and he has been known to walk off with his owners’ drying underwear.”(她最喜欢的一个是洛基，以电影拳击传奇人物的名字命名。“他很好奇，总是惹麻烦，”她说。“它曾经被困在树枝上，不得不被人抬出来，它还曾偷走主人正在晾晒的内衣。”)”可知，Ollila认为Rocky总是闯祸。故选B。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Ollila gave up her job as a sociology researcher at the University of Lapland in 2010 to devote herself to raising reindeer. “I love the environment, the animals and the freedom,” she says.(2010年，奥利拉放弃了拉普兰大学社会学研究员的工作，全身心地投入到驯鹿饲养中。“我喜欢这里的环境、动物和自由，”她说。)”可推断，Ollila对大自然有着深厚的感情。故选A。 C When Stanford University student Ellen Xu, now 18, was a five-year-old in San Diego, California, she clearly remembers that her parents rushed her little sister to the hospital. Three-year-old Kate had fallen seriously ill; she had a fever, reddened eyes, and some swelling (肿胀) in her hands and tongue. At first, the puzzled doctors thought she had flu, but when her condition didn’t improve, the Xus returned to the clinic room, where a doctor by chance had a similar earlier experience with such symptoms (症状) in the blood known as Kawasaki disease. Though rare (罕见的), it’s the leading cause of the heart disease in babies and young children, and its causes remain unknown. The doctor knew how to treat it: He ordered some medicine for Kate, and finally she shook off-the illness without suffering damage to her heart. Xu remembers being curious about her sister’s illness condition and was amazed that the grown-ups couldn’t answer her questions about why it was so hard to check. “In my mind, it was this puzzle I wanted to solve,” she says. Ten years later, wanting to enter a high school science fair, she had an idea. What if we had a doctor in our pocket? So she created just that: Using Al, Xu designed a program that uses visual facts to check the disease based on five physical symptoms. The technology works the same way as apps that can identify birds and plants with photos you’ve taken on your cellphone. Worried parents can upload a photo that they have taken of their child, and the technology will scan the picture for symptoms of the disease, which often have strong visual factors, such as a swollen longue. Xu’s invention has been applied as a web app on the website. “The technology could also be developed for recognizing some other diseases,” she says. “It means a lot to me. I want to use AI to help people live happier and healthier lives.” Xu says that her sister Kale, now in her third year of high school with dreams of becoming an environmental engineer, is strong and healthy. 28. Why did the author mention Kate’s illness? A. To explain who treated Kate’s illness. B. To prove how serious Kale’s illness was. C. To show how much Ellen loved her sister. D. To tell why Ellen wanted to solve the puzzle in her mind. 29. Why did Ellen design the program? A. To save her sister. B. To earn a prize. C. To check a rare disease. D. To identify birds and plants. 30. What can best describe Ellen according to the text? A. Determined and careful. B. Creative and helpful. C Diligent and selfless. D. Active and easy-going. 31. What is the best title for the text? A. An App That Detects a Rare Disease B. An Invention Helping Doctors C. A Girl Recovering from a Disease D. A New Method to Treat a Disease 【答案】28. D 29. C 30. B 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了 Ellen利用人工智能技术创造了一个程序，可以根据症状检测疾病，帮助人们快速地获得诊断，改善健康状况。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Xu remembers being curious about her sister’s illness condition and was amazed that the grown- ups couldn’t answer her questions about why it was so hard to check. “In my mind, it was this puzzle I wanted to solve,” she says.(徐记得当时她对妹妹的病情很好奇，并惊讶于大人们无法回答她为什么很难检查的问题。“在我的脑海里，这是我想要解决的难题，”她说)”可推知，文章提到 Kate 的病，是为了说明 Ellen 想解开心中难题的动机。故选D。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“So she created just that: Using Al, Xu designed a program that uses visual facts to check the disease based on five physical symptoms.(因此，她创造了这样的东西：利用人工智能，徐设计了一个程序，利用视觉事实来检查基于五种身体症状的疾病)”可知，Ellen设计这款程序是为了检测这种罕见病，以此来拯救她的妹妹。故选C。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“ So she created just that: Using AI, Xu designed a program that uses visual facts to check the disease based on five physical symptoms.(因此，她创造了这样的东西：利用人工智能，徐设计了一个程序，利用视觉事实来检查基于五种身体症状的疾病)”可知，Ellen 自己设计了一个用于检查疾病的程序；再根据倒数第二段“ It means a lot to me. I want to use AI to help people live happier and healthier lives.(这对我来说意义重大。我想用人工智能来帮助人们过上更快乐、更健康的生活)”可知， Ellen想用人工智能帮助人们改善生活。由此可推知，Ellen是一个有创造力且乐于助人的人。故选B。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段“Ten years later, wanting to enter a high school science fair, she had an idea. What if we had a doctor in our pocket? So she created just that: Using Al, Xu designed a program that uses visual facts to check the disease based on five physical symptoms.(十年后，她有了一个主意，她想参加高中科学博览会。如果我们口袋里有个医生呢？因此，她创造了这样的东西：利用人工智能，徐设计了一个程序，利用视觉事实来检查基于五种身体症状的疾病)”结合本文主要讲述了 Ellen利用人工智能技术创造了一个程序，可以根据症状检测疾病，帮助人们快速地获得诊断，改善健康状况。由此可推知，A项“一款检测罕见疾病的应用”最适合作文章标题。故选 A。 D The price of milk may be going up. There was not enough rain in some parts of the country last year and the bad weather may mean that a gallon (加仑) of milk will cost 41 cents more after October 1st. California already has high milk prices and the California court does not want the price to go any higher. High milk prices will be very hard for some people. Families with many children will have to spend more money to buy milk. The poor and older people without much money will also be hurt by higher prices. The court said that more milk from other states should be sold in California as the price of milk from other states is not as high. Some states got enough rain so their costs did not go up. People will then be able to buy the cheaper milk, meaning that unless milk producers bring their milk prices down, their milk will not sell. The drought (干旱) around the country has meant market forces are likely to push milk prices up by as much as 41-cent a gallon by October 1st. Experts said this decision by the Californian court could reduce (减少) the effect of the price rise here. The 41-cent increase would add to California’s already high milk prices so California must allow more milk producers from outside the state to sell their products there. This would then lead to increased supplies (供应), which would, as a result, stop milk prices from increasing. 32. What caused milk prices in California to increase? A. Short supplies from other states. B. Being short of rain. C. The California court. ` D. Children’s need for milk. 33. Who will be hurt by high milk prices? A. Young people. B. Rich people. C. Milk producers from outside California. D. Families with lots of children. 34. What is the third paragraph mainly about? A. More milk can be brought in from other states. B. Milk prices in other states will drop. C. Some states got enough rain. D. People like to buy cheaper milk. 35. What will California do to keep milk prices down? A. Force milk producers to lower their price. B. Increase the supply of milk in the state. C. Get men to produce more rain. D. Encourage people to drink less milk. 【答案】32. B 33. D 34. A 35. B 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了加利福尼亚因为雨水少导致牛奶价格上涨及解决办法。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“There was not enough rain in some parts of the country last year.(去年这个国家的一些地方没有足够的雨水)”可知，由于雨水短缺，导致加州牛奶价格上涨。故选B项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“High milk prices will be very hard for some people. Families with many children will have to spend more money to buy milk.(高牛奶价格对一些人来说将是非常困难。有许多孩子的家庭将不得不花更多的钱买牛奶)”可知，高价格牛奶会伤害到许多有孩子的家庭。故选D项。 【34题详解】 段落大意题。根据文章第三段“The court said that more milk from other states should be sold in California as the price of milk from other states is not as high.(法院表示，加州应该出售更多其他州的牛奶，因为其他州的牛奶价格没有那么高)”可知，第三段主要说明更多的牛奶可以从其他州进口。故选A项。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“This would then lead to increased supplies , which would, as a result, stop milk prices from increasing.(这将导致供应增加，从而阻止牛奶价格上涨)”可知，加州将采取增加牛奶供应的措施来压低牛奶价格。故选B项。 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） How to cultivate emotional awareness In school, we learned the periodic table and were told to recite the alphabet, but nobody forced us to take a class on what emotions are and how they work. ____36____ Yet, research shows that being aware of your emotions is hugely beneficial and people with high emotional awareness have better social and emotional functioning. Emotional awareness is being able to identify and make sense of not only our own emotions but those of others. It’s absolutely essential in maintaining good mental health. But if you’ve spent a lifetime masking your real emotions, being honest with yourself for the first time may prove tough. ____37____ Turn to mindfulness Mindfulness is the process of bringing our attention to: the present moment and becoming more aware of our thoughts. ____38____ There are many ways to be mindful, from practising breathwork to sitting in silence. Where emotional awareness is concerned, meditation which can aid clarity and allow us to view our emotions in a more measured way is strongly recommended. Practice daily self-reflection ____39____ You’d better create a habit of checking with yourself every day. Self-reflection cultivates emotional awareness and is key to understanding why you feel the way you do. Activities such as journaling can be really beneficial in learning about your thought processes. It may also help you actively choose healthy coping strategies to manage more challenging emotions. Free-writing, where you write out everything that’s on your mind without judgement, can be used to dig deeper into your thoughts and feelings. Name what you’re feeling Sometimes what we really struggle with is putting our emotions into words. ____40____ Instead of employing basic descriptions like angry, happy, frustrated or sad, consult The Emotion Wheel which identifies eight basic emotions at the centre of the wheel, with dozens of corresponding emotions of various intensities stemming out from it. It gives you a specific name for what you’re feeling. By naming them, we can not only find relief from those uncomfortable feelings but bring more joy and fulfilment into our lives too. A. When was the last time you stopped and truly observed how you feel? B. Turn into your emotions and honestly reflecting on how you feel is important. C. It can be difficult to feel heard by others if we don’t have the language to describe how we’re feeling. D. But it gets easier with practice. E. It’s not always easy to put a finger on exactly what’s wrong, without digging a little deeper. F. It’s a state of calm, non-judgmental state of mind. G. And for many of us, that means understanding how we feel and why can be incredibly difficult. 【答案】36. G 37. D 38. F 39. A 40. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何培养情感意识。 【36题详解】 根据下文“Yet, research shows that being aware of your emotions is hugely beneficial and people with high emotional awareness have better social and emotional functioning. (然而，研究表明，意识到自己的情绪是非常有益的，情绪意识高的人有更好的社交和情感功能。)”可知，空处和下文形成转折关系，下文说到意识到自己的情绪有益，上文应该是提出认识到自己的情绪是有困难的。G项：And for many of us, that means understanding how we feel and why can be incredibly difficult. (对我们中的许多人来说，这意味着理解我们的感受及其原因是非常困难的。)符合语境。故选G。 【37题详解】 根据上文“But if you’ve spent a lifetime masking your real emotions, being honest with yourself for the first time may prove tough. (但如果你一生都在掩饰自己的真实情绪，那么第一次对自己诚实可能会很困难。)”和下文提到的认识自己情绪的方法可知，空处表明多练习就会让认识自己的情绪变得容易。D项：But it gets easier with practice. (但是练习起来就容易多了。)符合语境。故选D。 【38题详解】 根据上文“Mindfulness is the process of bringing our attention to: the present moment and becoming more aware of our thoughts. (正念是将我们的注意力集中到当下，并更加意识到我们的想法的过程。)”可知，上文在解释什么是正念，空处对正念的含义进行进一步解释说明。F项：It’s a state of calm, non-judgmental state of mind. (这是一种平静的、不加评判的心态。)符合语境。故选F。 【39题详解】 根据段落小标题“Practice daily self-reflection (每天练习自我反省)”可知，空处对小标题进行解释说明，指出自我反省就是要停下来观察自己的感受。A项：When was the last time you stopped and truly observed how you feel?(你上一次停下来真正观察自己的感受是什么时候？)符合语境。故选A。 【40题详解】 根据上文“Sometimes what we really struggle with is putting our emotions into words. (有时候，我们真正挣扎的是把我们的情绪用语言表达出来。)”可知，本段强调要说出自己的感受，C项中的“have the language to describe how we’re feeling”与“putting our emotions into words”对应。C项：It can be difficult to feel heard by others if we don’t have the language to describe how we’re feeling. (如果我们没有语言来描述自己的感受，别人就很难听到我们的声音。)符合语境。故选C。 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、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 For the past 17 years, Raquel Radford Baker has been a school bus driver for the Dallas Independent School District.

As a girl of shy and reserved nature, I had to take a fresh start to fit into the sophisticated city life. One sunny day my school announced an exciting event, a talent show for the local food bank. Students were encouraged to showcase their unique talents in front of the public in the city hall on National Day. A buzz of excitement fed the school as everyone began preparing for the big day. Deep down, I felt a spark of curiosity and a desire to participate. However, my self-doubt held me back, “I don’t have any special skills to share.” Days turned into weeks, and the talent show drew closer. I couldn’t shake the upsetting feeling until one day, Emma, one of the most popular girls in my class, came to me while I was helping in the grocery store after class. “How about singing together in the talent show?” She grinned, “I heard you singing a tune, along the way back home. I can’t help following you here.” Gosh, I couldn’t believe my ears. Emma, with personality and popularity, acknowledged my little talent. Since Emma had the world’s prettiest voice, I felt like being favoured by fortune. “You two? The talent show for the food bank?” My mum bent towards us and her face lit up. “A big occasion.” Then a light bulb seemed to go in her head. “Why not practise right now upstairs? I bet you’ll be a perfect match.” Winking at us, she seemed to know we were thinking alike. Emma and I embarked on rehearsing almost every single day after school. We brainstormed, exchanged ideas and rehearsed the scene. As the days rolled by, I was feeling pretty good about our act. But the day before the performance, Emma called that she had an acute stomachache and was not in any shape to perform. 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: I was completely knocked out by the news. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Finally came the big moment. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】I was completely knocked out by the news. What should I do? Having prepared for such a long time, I didn’t think of that coming up. Feeling at a loss, I was brainstorming as hard as I could to think of a solution, when a gentle touch on my back brought me back to reality. It was my mum, who looked at me with care and concern. “You have prepared for it enough. You can do it by yourself.” She said after my stumbled explanation. I looked back at her eyes, and a sense of confidence and warmness swelled up in my heart. Yes, I could do it myself. Finally came the big moment. Looking around the audience, I stepped onto the stage, with butterflies in my stomach. My voice trembled at first, but with the melodies flew around, the nervousness was gone with the wind. Emotions filled in my song, I performed as naturally as I spoke every day. I saw my mum, who was looking at me with reassurance and care. It turned out to be a good performance, which helped me conquer my fears and turned me into a new person. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇读后续写。文章讲述了作者自小性格内向，不爱交际。偶然一次机会，学校组织学生参加才艺表演，同学Emma盛情邀请作者一同参加，这使得作者备受鼓舞。然而在演出前夕，Emma却因急性胃疼不能上台，面对紧急情况，作者只能自己独立完成表演。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①根据第一段首句“我被这个消息所震惊了。”可知，作者在收到Emma不能参演的消息时一时手足无措，再根据第四段妈妈的表现可知，此时妈妈一定会及时出现，安慰作者并给作者勇气，让作者能独立完成表演。 ②根据第二段首句“重大时刻终于到来了。”可知，作者坚持独立上台表演了。可想而知作者刚登上舞台还是会紧张，但是作者天生有副好嗓子，随着表演深入，这种紧张感会消失，并且精彩的完成表演。 2. 续写线索：手足无措——妈妈安慰并打气——决定独立上台——克服紧张，表演完成——升华 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ① 表演：perform/make a performance/show one’s talents ② 做准备：prepare for/make preparations for ③ 参加：participate in/join in/take part in/be involved in ④ 笑：grin/smile/laugh/giggle/chuckle 情绪类 ① 害羞内向的：shy/reserved/introverted ② 好奇的：curious/be full of curiosity ③ 开心的：delighted/overjoyed/content ④ 担忧的：concerned/worried/butterflies in one’s stomach 【点睛】[高分句型1] Having prepared for such a long time, I didn’t think of that coming up.（运用了现在分词作时间状语） [高分句型2] Emotions filled in my song, I performed as naturally as I spoke every day.（运用了独立主格结构） [高分句型3] I saw my mum, who was looking at me with reassurance and care.（运用了who引导的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高二9月月考试卷 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分 30 分） 第一节（共 5 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 7.5 分） 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What do the speakers prefer eating now?

Some other people are just curious about foreign cultures. Whatever your reason may be，the best foreign language software around will certainly help you pick up the language in a few weeks. You will be able to speak fluently and understand the language clearly as well. Tell Me More This software is widely used in U. S. schools，and it is believed to be the best foreign language learning software around the world. It offers instructions for learning Arabic，Chinese，Dutch，English，French，German，Italian，Japanese and Spanish. However，the software does not come cheap as it costs around $250. Talk Now If you are looking for cheaper language learning software，then this is just the suitable choice for you. This software will cost you around $40，and even though it is not as useful as Tell Me More，it is still very good software for the purpose. The disadvantage is that there is a clear lack of interactive （相互作用的） activities for users so it does not result in fluency. Instant Immersion This software supplies learning material for up to 35 different languages，and it is widely considered as the best software for learning Spanish as well. It will cost you around $30，and this is a very reasonable price for such a piece of highly recommended and loved language learning software. The learning courses are highly interactive，and the ever present speech recognition feature ensures that you are getting the pronunciation right when you speak. Kid Speak This is a kind of foreign language translation software that you can make use of，and it will cost you around $30. So it is safe to say that the level of performance will be similar to that of Talk Now. This software is designed more for the use of children for is interesting videos. 21. In learning a language ________. A. different people have different purposes B. talking with the natives is quite necessary C. understanding foreign cultures is very important D. using software is the most effective way 22. What is the disadvantage of Tell Me More？ A. It lacks language learning methods. B. It costs much more than the others. C. It offers no interactive activities. D. It provides no interesting videos for children. 23. Which of the software best suits users with poor pronunciation？ A. Tell Me More B. Talk Now C. Instant Immersion D. Kid Speak B Finnish Lapland, in the far north of Europe, is home to some 180,000 people and around 200,000 reindeer (驯鹿). The animals live wild but each one has an owner, identified by a mark on its ear. Anne Ollila, 50, one of 4,000 such owners, works in the Finnish part of this region with her husband and two adult sons and their families. They farm the animals mainly for meat, but reindeer tourism has also become an important source of income. Ollila lives 80 kilometres inside the Arctic Circle, an hour from Lapland’s capital city, Rovaniemi, and seven kilometres from her nearest neighbour. Summer days — when the reindeer raisers earmark newborn reindeer — are long and in June the sun never sets. At that time Ollila sleeps during the day and walks up to 20 kilometres a night through the forest, making the most of the cooler temperatures to do her work but having to endure large groups of insects along the way. In deepest winter, there is little daylight. Many grasslands are frozen and the reindeer move into the forest for protection against wolves and golden eagles — the birds can kill an adult reindeer. Ollila and her family offer tourists reindeer experiences through their company Reindeer Journey. Visitors can get close to the animals in the wild or at their farm, watching them being trained to pull sledges (雪橇) or take a sleigh ride. “Reindeer are very smart animals,” Ollila says. “They have different personalities, and some are very funny.” One of her favourites is Rocky, named after the movie boxing legend. “He’s very curious and always in trouble,” she says. “He once got himself stuck in tree branches and had to be lifted out, and he has been known to walk off with his owners’ drying underwear.” Ollila gave up her job as a sociology researcher at the University of Lapland in 2010 to devote herself to raising reindeer. “I love the environment, the animals and the freedom,” she says. “Also, I have a sense of belonging to something bigger than me, to a way of life through the generations.” 24. What does the underlined word “endure” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Go away with. B. Catch up with. C. Look forward to. D. Put up with. 25 Why do the reindeer move into the forest in winter according to the text? A. To get earmarked. B. To find their owners. C. To protect themselves. D. To avoid cold temperatures. 26. What does Ollila think of Rocky? A. He is foolish. B. He is a troublemaker. C. He is interested in planting trees. D. He is a famous filmmaker. 27. What can we infer about Ollila from the last paragraph? A. She has a deep affection for nature. B. She has long been tired of raising reindeer. C. She has been a sociology researcher since 2010. D. She had no chance to receive a college education. C When Stanford University student Ellen Xu, now 18, was a five-year-old in San Diego, California, she clearly remembers that her parents rushed her little sister to the hospital. Three-year-old Kate had fallen seriously ill; she had a fever, reddened eyes, and some swelling (肿胀) in her hands and tongue. At first, the puzzled doctors thought she had flu, but when her condition didn’t improve, the Xus returned to the clinic room, where a doctor by chance had a similar earlier experience with such symptoms (症状) in the blood known as Kawasaki disease. Though rare (罕见的), it’s the leading cause of the heart disease in babies and young children, and its causes remain unknown. The doctor knew how to treat it: He ordered some medicine for Kate, and finally she shook off-the illness without suffering damage to her heart. Xu remembers being curious about her sister’s illness condition and was amazed that the grown-ups couldn’t answer her questions about why it was so hard to check. “In my mind, it was this puzzle I wanted to solve,” she says. Ten years later, wanting to enter a high school science fair, she had an idea. What if we had a doctor in our pocket? So she created just that: Using Al, Xu designed a program that uses visual facts to check the disease based on five physical symptoms. The technology works the same way as apps that can identify birds and plants with photos you’ve taken on your cellphone. Worried parents can upload a photo that they have taken of their child, and the technology will scan the picture for symptoms of the disease, which often have strong visual factors, such as a swollen longue. Xu’s invention has been applied as a web app on the website. “The technology could also be developed for recognizing some other diseases,” she says. “It means a lot to me. I want to use AI to help people live happier and healthier lives.” Xu says that her sister Kale, now in her third year of high school with dreams of becoming an environmental engineer, is strong and healthy. 28. Why did the author mention Kate’s illness? A. To explain who treated Kate’s illness. B. To prove how serious Kale’s illness was. C. To show how much Ellen loved her sister. D. To tell why Ellen wanted to solve the puzzle in her mind. 29. Why did Ellen design the program? A. To save her sister. B. To earn a prize. C. To check a rare disease. D. To identify birds and plants. 30. What can best describe Ellen according to the text? A. Determined and careful. B. Creative and helpful. C. Diligent and selfless. D. Active and easy-going. 31. What is the best title for the text? A. An App That Detects a Rare Disease B. An Invention Helping Doctors C. A Girl Recovering from a Disease D. A New Method to Treat a Disease D The price of milk may be going up. There was not enough rain in some parts of the country last year and the bad weather may mean that a gallon (加仑) of milk will cost 41 cents more after October 1st. California already has high milk prices and the California court does not want the price to go any higher. High milk prices will be very hard for some people. Families with many children will have to spend more money to buy milk. The poor and older people without much money will also be hurt by higher prices. The court said that more milk from other states should be sold in California as the price of milk from other states is not as high. Some states got enough rain so their costs did not go up. People will then be able to buy the cheaper milk, meaning that unless milk producers bring their milk prices down, their milk will not sell. The drought (干旱) around the country has meant market forces are likely to push milk prices up by as much as 41-cent a gallon by October 1st. Experts said this decision by the Californian court could reduce (减少) the effect of the price rise here. The 41-cent increase would add to California’s already high milk prices so California must allow more milk producers from outside the state to sell their products there. This would then lead to increased supplies (供应), which would, as a result, stop milk prices from increasing. 32. What caused milk prices in California to increase? A. Short supplies from other states. B. Being short of rain. C The California court. ` D. Children’s need for milk. 33. Who will be hurt by high milk prices? A. Young people. B. Rich people. C. Milk producers from outside California. D. Families with lots of children. 34. What is the third paragraph mainly about? A. More milk can be brought in from other states. B. Milk prices in other states will drop. C. Some states got enough rain. D People like to buy cheaper milk. 35. What will California do to keep milk prices down? A. Force milk producers to lower their price. B. Increase the supply of milk in the state. C. Get men to produce more rain. D. Encourage people to drink less milk. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） How to cultivate emotional awareness In school, we learned the periodic table and were told to recite the alphabet, but nobody forced us to take a class on what emotions are and how they work. ____36____ Yet, research shows that being aware of your emotions is hugely beneficial and people with high emotional awareness have better social and emotional functioning. Emotional awareness is being able to identify and make sense of not only our own emotions but those of others. It’s absolutely essential in maintaining good mental health. But if you’ve spent a lifetime masking your real emotions, being honest with yourself for the first time may prove tough. ____37____ Turn to mindfulness Mindfulness is the process of bringing our attention to: the present moment and becoming more aware of our thoughts. ____38____ There are many ways to be mindful, from practising breathwork to sitting in silence. Where emotional awareness is concerned, meditation which can aid clarity and allow us to view our emotions in a more measured way is strongly recommended. Practice daily self-reflection ____39____ You’d better create a habit of checking with yourself every day. Self-reflection cultivates emotional awareness and is key to understanding why you feel the way you do. Activities such as journaling can be really beneficial in learning about your thought processes. It may also help you actively choose healthy coping strategies to manage more challenging emotions. Free-writing, where you write out everything that’s on your mind without judgement, can be used to dig deeper into your thoughts and feelings. Name what you’re feeling Sometimes what we really struggle with is putting our emotions into words. ____40____ Instead of employing basic descriptions like angry, happy, frustrated or sad, consult The Emotion Wheel which identifies eight basic emotions at the centre of the wheel, with dozens of corresponding emotions of various intensities stemming out from it. It gives you a specific name for what you’re feeling. By naming them, we can not only find relief from those uncomfortable feelings but bring more joy and fulfilment into our lives too. A. When was the last time you stopped and truly observed how you feel? B. Turn into your emotions and honestly reflecting on how you feel is important. C. It can be difficult to feel heard by others if we don’t have the language to describe how we’re feeling. D. But it gets easier with practice. E. It’s not always easy to put a finger on exactly what’s wrong, without digging a little deeper. F. It’s a state of calm, non-judgmental state of mind. G. And for many of us, that means understanding how we feel and why can be incredibly difficult. 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、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 For the past 17 years, Raquel Radford Baker has been a school bus driver for the Dallas Independent School District.

As a girl of shy and reserved nature, I had to take a fresh start to fit into the sophisticated city life. One sunny day, my school announced an exciting event, a talent show for the local food bank. Students were encouraged to showcase their unique talents in front of the public in the city hall on National Day. A buzz of excitement fed the school as everyone began preparing for the big day. Deep down, I felt a spark of curiosity and a desire to participate. However, my self-doubt held me back, “I don’t have any special skills to share.” Days turned into weeks, and the talent show drew closer. I couldn’t shake the upsetting feeling until one day, Emma, one of the most popular girls in my class, came to me while I was helping in the grocery store after class. “How about singing together in the talent show?” She grinned, “I heard you singing a tune, along the way back home. I can’t help following you here.” Gosh, I couldn’t believe my ears. Emma, with personality and popularity, acknowledged my little talent. Since Emma had the world’s prettiest voice, I felt like being favoured by fortune. “You two? The talent show for the food bank?” My mum bent towards us and her face lit up. “A big occasion.” Then a light bulb seemed to go in her head. “Why not practise right now upstairs? I bet you’ll be a perfect match.” Winking at us, she seemed to know we were thinking alike. Emma and I embarked on rehearsing almost every single day after school. We brainstormed, exchanged ideas and rehearsed the scene. As the days rolled by, I was feeling pretty good about our act. But the day before the performance, Emma called that she had an acute stomachache and was not in any shape to perform. 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: I was completely knocked out by the news. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Finally came the big moment. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null
