Course Meeting Times Lectures:3 sessions/week, 1. 5 hour/session Problem Sets (psets) Problem sets account for 20% of the final grade. Making a reasonable effort on the problem sets is, for most students, crucial for mastering the course material. Problem sets are designed to be completed in at most 3 hours; the time is monitored through student reports. Online Feedback Problems Online problems to be completed before most class meetings are posted on the class website. These consist of straightforward questions that provide useful feedback about the assigned material. Some students prefer to try the online problems before reading the text or watching videos as an advance guide to going over the material; that’s fine. Watching designated videos, or at least looking at the lecture-slide handouts, is generally helpful but optional. Like team problem-solving in class, online problems are graded only on participation: Students receive full credit as long as they try the problem, even if their answer is wrong. Online feedback problems account for 10% of the final grade. Midterm Exams Three 80-minute midterm exams will be given. The midterm exams each account for 15%of the final grade. Midterm questions will typically be variations of prior problems from class and psets, and the best way to prepare is to review on the published solutions to these problems. The first exam covers all previous weeks’ material;subsequent exams focus on the material after the previous exam. Final Exam There will be a three-hour final exam. This exam is worth 25% of the final class grade. The final exam will cover the entire subject with somewhat greater emphasis on material from after Midterm 3. Most exam questions will be variants of problems assigned during the term(psets, class, midterm, and online). It may include a few questions which combine topics that were originally covered separately. 1. What determines students’ grade in Online Feedback Problems? A. Active involvement. B. Submission time. C. Accuracy of answers. D. Completion of assignments 2. What is the main focus of the final exam? A. Variants of problem sets. B. Combined topics in class. C. The content after midterm exams. D. The whole-term course materials. 3. Which of the following weighs the most in the final grade? A. Final Exam. B. Midterm Exams. C. Problem Sets. D. Online Feedback Problems 【答案】1. A 2. C 3. B 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了计算机数学这一门课程的相关事宜。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章Online Feedback Problems部分第二段“Like team problem-solving in class, online problems are graded only on participation: Students receive full credit as long as they try the problem, even if their answer is wrong.(就像课上团队解决问题一样，在线反馈问题的评分仅基于参与度，只要学生尝试解决问题，即使答案错误也能获得满分。)”可知，决定学生在线反馈问题的分数在于学生的参与度，故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章Final Exam部分“The final exam will cover the entire subject with somewhat greater emphasis on material from after Midterm 3.(期末考试将涉及整个课程内容，但会更多地强调第三次中期考试后的内容。)”可知，期末考试的重点在于中期考试之后的内容，故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章Problem Sets (psets)中的信息“Problem sets account for 20% of the final grade.”(问题集占最终成绩的20%。)； Online Feedback Problems中的信息“Online feedback problems account for 10% of the final grade.”( 在线反馈问题占最终成绩的10%。) ；Midterm Exams中的信息“Three 80-minute midterm exams will be given. The midterm exams each account for 15% of the final grade.” (将进行三次长达80分钟的中期考试，每次考试占最终成绩的15%。) ；Final Exam中的信息“There will be a three-hour final exam. This exam is worth 25% of the final class grade.”(将进行一次长达三小时的期末考试，考试成绩占最终成绩的25%。)”可知，将进行三次中期考试，每次考试占最终成绩的15%，故中期考试总共占15%*3=45%，比例占据最大，故选B。 B It all started with a simple question;“Can I paint your portrait (肖像)?” In the summer of 2015, Brian Peterson was reading the book Love Does, about the power of love in action, when his quiet was disturbed by a homeless man. Inspired by the book, Peterson made an unexpected decision: He was going to introduce himself. In that first conversation, Peterson learned that the man’s name was Matt Faris who failed to pursue a career in music and ended up being homeless. “I saw beauty on the face of a man who hadn’t shaved in probably a year, had overgrown fingernails, and probably hadn’t had a shower in close to a year. ”Even though Peterson hadn’t pioked up a paintbrush in about eight years, he asked if he could paint Faris’s portrait. Faris said yes. Peterson’s connection with Faris led him to form Faces of Santa Ana, a nonprofit organization focused on befriending and painting portraits of members of the community who are unhoused. Working from a black-and-white photo of the subject, Peterson chooses colors inspired by the subject’s personality and life story, creating an impressive portrait. Peterson sells the striking artwork, signed by both subject and artist, dividing the proceeds and putting half into what he calls a“love account”for his model. He then helps people use the money to get back on their feet. Many of Peterson’s new friends use the donations to secure immediate necessities. But Peterson has learned not to make assumptions about what a person needs most. “I’ve made a mistake thinking I knew what people wanted, ” he says, “but why don’t we just ask them?” Peterson has discovered that there’s more to the finished products than the money they bring to someone who’s down and out. The buyers tend to connect to the story of the person in the painting, finding similarities and often friendship with someone they might have otherwise overlooked. “People often tell me, ‘I was the one that would cross the street. But I see homeless people differently now, ’ ”Peterson says. 4. What brought Peterson and Faris together? A Beauty on Faris’ face. B. Inspiration from a book. C. Peterson’s passion for art. D. Faris’ suffering in his life. 5. What does the underlined word “mistake” in paragraph 5 refer to? A. Selling the homeless’ portraits for profits. B Giving instant necessities to the homeless. C. Asking the homeless for their needs directly. D. Taking what the homeless want for granted. 6. What does Peterson imply in the last paragraph? A. The homeless are gaining more concern. B. The life of the homeless is different now. C. Buyers value friendship with the homeless. D. Figures in Peterson’s paintings are popular. 7. What can we learn from this text? A. A good model is key to a fine artwork. B. An expected decision makes a great artist. C. A picture really is worth a thousand words. D. Each unfortunate person has his own misfortune. 【答案】4 B 5. D 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了Peterson通过绘画帮助无家可归者改善生活的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Inspired by the book, Peterson made an unexpected decision: He was going to introduce himself. In that first conversation, Peterson learned that the man’s name was Matt Faris who failed to pursue a career in music and ended up being homeless.(受到这本书的启发，Peterson做出了一个意想不到的决定：他要上前自我介绍。在第一次交谈中，Peterson 得知这位男士的名字叫 Matt Faris，他曾试图追求音乐事业，但最终流落街头成了无家可归的人)”可知，Peterson是因为受到书中爱的力量的启发，决定去做自我介绍，从而接触到了Faris。故选B。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词前一句话“But Peterson has learned not to make assumptions about what a person needs most.(但Peterson 已经学会了不要假设一个人最需要什么)”以及划线单词的后半句“thinking I knew what people wanted(以为我知道人们想要什么)”可知，Peterson承认他曾经认为自己知道别人想要什么，这是一个错误，所以mistake在这指代“把无家可归者想要的东西视为理所当然”。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Peterson has discovered that there’s more to the finished products than the money they bring to someone who’s down and out. The buyers tend to connect to the story of the person in the painting, finding similarities and often friendship with someone they might have otherwise overlooked. “People often tell me, ‘I was the one that would cross the street. But I see homeless people differently now,’ ”Peterson says.(Peterson 发现成品的价值不仅仅在于它们给那些身处困境的人带来的金钱。购买者往往会与画中人的故事产生共鸣，发现与那些他们可能忽视的人之间的相似之处，并常常建立起友谊。“人们经常告诉我，‘我以前是那种会绕道走的人。但现在我看无家可归者的方式不一样了，’”Peterson 说)”可推知，Peterson认为其作品拉近购买者和流浪者的距离，使得流浪者获得更多关注。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段的“Peterson has discovered that there’s more to the finished products than the money they bring to someone who’s down and out.((Peterson 发现成品的价值不仅仅在于它们给那些身处困境的人带来的金钱)”以及““People often tell me, ‘I was the one that would cross the street. But I see homeless people differently now, ’ ”Peterson says.(“人们经常告诉我，‘我以前是那种会绕道走的人。但现在我看无家可归者的方式不一样了，’”Peterson 说)”可知，Peterson 的画作不仅带来了经济上的帮助，更重要的是它改变了人们对无家可归者的看法，从而产生了深远的影响。由此可推知，我们从文章了解到“一幅图画真的值千言万语”。故选C。 C The Malagasy baobab tree, whose thick trunks and tiny branches dot Madagascar’s landscape, should not, by rights, have survived to the present day. Scientists believe that its large seeds were once spread by the giant tortoises and lemur monkeys that wandered the island. When these species went extinct over one thousand years ago owing to human activity, the baobab tree should have disappeared too. It did not. Seheno Andriantsaralaza at the University of Antananarivo and Onja Razafindratsima at the University of California, now think they may know the reason why. Together with their colleagues, the scientists monitored 15 tree canopies (树冠) in a western region of Madagascar, to identify any animals that might have claimed the role of baobab-seed spread. The researchers also set up camera traps around seed-containing fruits lying on the ground, and searched any faeces (粪便) that they encountered along the way for the presence of seeds. They report in the journal Biotropica that a native rodent (啮齿动物) known as the western bunch-tailed rat was caught on camera handling whole fruits on four occasions. Although there was no footage of the rat breaking the fruits open, the team did chance upon 13 fruits that had been chewed into and had their seeds removed. Though the bite marks were not clear enough to identify an initiator, this was clear evidence that a seed- distributing animal was out there. They then found the ecological equivalent of a smoking gun:baobab seeds in seven different piles of bush-pig faces. While the finding is important in its own right, it also provides valuable evidence that introduced species may not be entirely harmful. Madagascar’s pigs, for example, though not native, have made themselves essential to the survival of truly native species. Similar relationships are suspected to hold in South America between rabbits native to Europe and plants with no seed distributors. For Dr Andriantsaralaza, that suggests the full ecological role of introduced species should be considered before talk of extinction begins. 8. What made scientists think the baobab tree should have disappeared? A. The extinction of its seed spreader. B. The destruction of human activities C. The inadaptation of the baobab tree. D. The increase of its natural enemies. 9. What are camera traps used for? A. Seeking seed-containing fruits. B. Tracking the footprints of seeds. C. Recording the animals’ activities. D. Monitoring the baobab tree canopies. 10. Which is most probably the seed-eater according to the report? A. The giant tortoise B. The bunch-tailed rat. C. The European rabbit. D. The bush-pig. 11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To introduce a new way to protect the baobab tree. B. To show non-native species are not always harmful. C. To compare different kinds of seed-distributing methods. D. To explain the importance of protecting endangered species. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了马达加斯加的猴面包树通过当地啮齿动物和野猪传播种子，这对保护本土物种具有重要意义。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Scientists believe that its large seeds were once spread by the giant tortoises and lemur monkeys that wandered the island. When these species went extinct over one thousand years ago owing to human activity, the baobab tree should have disappeared too.(科学家们认为，这种树木的大种子曾由在岛上漫游的巨大陆龟和狐猴传播。当这些物种因人类活动而在一千多年前灭绝时，猴面包树本应随之消失)”可知，猴面包树种子传播者的灭绝使得科学家们认为猴面包树应该已经消失了。故选A项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“The researchers also set up camera traps around seed-containing fruits lying on the ground, and searched any faeces that they encountered along the way for the presence of seeds.(研究人员还在地面上含有种子的果实周围设置了摄像机陷阱，并检查了途中遇到的所有粪便中是否含有种子)”可知，摄像机陷阱是用来追踪种子的足迹的。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“They then found the ecological equivalent of a smoking gun:baobab seeds in seven different piles of bush-pig faces.(随后，他们找到了生态学上的确凿证据：在七堆灌木猪的粪便中发现了猴面包树的种子)” 可知，最有可能的种子食用者是灌木猪。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文及文章最后一段“While the finding is important in its own right, it also provides valuable evidence that introduced species may not be entirely harmful.(这一发现本身具有重要意义，同时也提供了宝贵的证据，表明引入物种并不一定是完全有害的)”可知，作者通过介绍马达加斯加猴面包树如何依靠本土及引入物种传播种子而得以幸存的例子，来展示非本土物种可能并不总是有害的。故选B项。 D The concepts of delayed satisfaction, self-control, and self-regulation are often used interchangeably and inconsistently. The ability to delay an impulse (冲动) for an immediate reward to receive a more favorable reward at a later time is the standard definition of delayed satisfaction. Studies show that delayed satisfaction is one of the most effective personal characteristics of successful people. People who learn how to manage their need to be satisfied in the moment develop more in their careers, relationships, health, and finances than people who give in to it. Being able to delay satisfaction isn’t the easiest skill to acquire. It involves feeling dissatisfied, which is why it seems impossible for people who haven’t learned to control their impulses. Choosing to have something now might feel good, but making the effort to have discipline and manage your impulses can result in bigger or better rewards in the future. Over time, delayed satisfaction will improve your self-control and ultimately help you achieve your long-term goals faster. The Seinfeld Strategy is one of several helpful self-satisfaction techniques you can use to put off satisfaction for longer periods of time. Every day that you delay satisfaction and avoid temptation (诱惑) , you cross it off your calendar. After a few days, this creates a chain. This strategy works well for people who enjoy gamification (游戏化). If you find it satisfying to keep the chain going, you’re less likely to give in to temptation. Do you find yourself going back to your temptations without thinking about it?If this is the case, you can practice mindfulness to become more aware of what you do. When you notice yourself doing something out of habit, stop for a moment. Ask yourself why you’re doing what you’re doing. Take some time to analyze how you’re feeling. Pay attention to the details. Take a moment of mindulness to interrupt your autopilot every time this happens. The more you practice this, the more you’ll break the habit of going for instant satisfaction. 12. What is delayed satisfaction? A. Making quick decisions. B. Giving in to desires instantly. C. Immediate rewards for impulses. D. Postponing rewards for better outcomes. 13. Why is delayed satisfaction hard to attain? A. It can lead to missed opportunities B. It’s bad for achieving long-term goals. C. It’s impossible to resist the inner needs D. It’s a comfort to possess something at once. 14. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. The complexity of the Seinfeld Strategy B. An example of self-discipline techniques. C. A method of practicing delayed satisfaction. D. The effectiveness of keeping the chain going. 15. What does the author suggest people do for returning temptations? A. Ignore useless details. B. Get rid of old bad habits. C. Concentrate on true inner wants. D. Cancel temptations from the calendar. 【答案】12. D 13. D 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了延迟满足的重要性以及如何练习延迟满。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“ The ability to delay an impulse (冲动) for an immediate reward to receive a more favorable reward at a later time is the standard definition of delayed satisfaction.(延迟满足的标准定义是延迟立即获得奖励的冲动，以便稍后获得更有利的奖励的能力。)”可知延迟满足是推迟奖励以获得更好的结果。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Being able to delay satisfaction isn’t the easiest skill to acquire. It involves feeling dissatisfied, which is why it seems impossible for people who haven’t learned to control their impulses. Choosing to have something now might feel good, but making the effort to have discipline and manage your impulses can result in bigger or better rewards in the future.(能够延迟满足并不是最容易获得的技能。它涉及到不满意的感觉，这就是为什么对于那些还没有学会控制自己的冲动的人来说似乎是不可能的。选择现在拥有某些东西可能会感觉很好，但努力遵守纪律并控制自己的冲动可能会在未来带来更大或更好的回报。)”可知，延迟满足很难获得是因为选择现在拥有某些东西可能会感觉很好，是舒适的，故选D。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“The Seinfeld Strategy is one of several helpful self-satisfaction techniques you can use to put off satisfaction for longer periods of time. Every day that you delay satisfaction and avoid temptation ( 诱惑) , you cross it off your calendar. After a few days, this creates a chain. This strategy works well for people who enjoy gamification (游戏化). If you find it satisfying to keep the chain going, you’re less likely to give in to temptation.(《宋飞传》策略是几种有用的自我满足技巧之一，你可以用它来推迟更长时间的满足感。每一天你推迟满足感并避免诱惑，你就会把它从你的日历上划掉。几天后，这就形成了一条链。这种策略对于喜欢游戏化的人来说很有效。如果你发现维持链条运转很令人满意，你就不太可能屈服于诱惑。)”可知，第四段主要讲述了一种练习延迟满足的方法。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Do you find yourself going back to your temptations without thinking about it?If this is the case, you can practice mindfulness to become more aware of what you do.  When you notice yourself doing something out of habit, stop for a moment. Ask yourself why you’re doing what you’re doing. Take some time to analyze how you’re feeling. Pay attention to the details. Take a moment of mindulness to interrupt your autopilot every time this happens.(您是否发现自己不假思索地又回到了诱惑之中？如果是这种情况，您可以练习正念以更加了解自己所做的事情。当你发现自己在做一些不习惯的事情时，停下来一会儿。问问自己为什么要做你正在做的事情。花一些时间来分析您的感受。注意细节。每次发生这种情况时，花点时间保持正念，打断你的自动驾驶)”可知，作者建议人们练习正念来抵御诱惑，即问自己为什么要做正在做的事，分析自己的感受，由此可推知，作者建议人们专注于真正的内心需求以此来抵御诱惑，故选C。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Facing hard things is, well, hard. Sometimes we are forced to simply shift, such as with a loss or failure; however, much of the time, we may recognize the difficulties underneath that need attention but feel too overwhelmed to address them. ___16___ The difficulties might be an outdated habit, a troubling memory or a long- ignored conflict. Some individuals fool themselves into thinking there really is not a problem. It’s like someone trying to hold active mice under a blanket by holding down the edges of the moving blanket. Pulling back the blanket to let the mice out is needed, despite being terrifying. Once the mice are released, there may be further challenges to get them out of the house. ___17___ People often encounter similar problems. Avoiding or leaving the situation appears to fix the problem but fails to tackle the underlying cause. Rather than repeatedly cutting weeds, getting down on the ground and pulling the roots is more effective. Facing issues is like uncovering roots for new beginnings to blossom. ___18___ ___19___ It feels like a balled-up mess of wires. Pulling hard at only one wire actually tightens the knot. We have to take a calmer look and pull apart each wire one at a time. We can’t expect the wires to loosen or unwind themselves. ___20___ Nevertheless, once they have been freed, they can sometimes be separated, put aside, and used as needed. A. They are just there and part of the chaos. B. And humans are masters of avoidance and denial. C. The overall benefits from tough work enable growth D. Making changes in one’s life is hard and complicated. E. Sadly, it often worsens when we approach it with anger. F. However, problems cannot be faced if they are not first recognized. G. Quick fixes might provide relief in the short term but often not in the long term. 【答案】16. B 17. F 18. G 19. D 20. A 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在面对困难时我们应该怎么做。 【16题详解】 根据空前“Facing hard things is, well, hard. Sometimes we are forced to simply shift, such as with a loss or failure; however, much of the time, we may recognize the difficulties underneath that need attention but feel too overwhelmed to address them.(面对困难的事情很难。有时，我们被迫简单地改变，比如面对失败时；然而，在大多数情况下，我们可能会认识到需要关注的困难，但感到不堪重负，无法解决这些问题)”可知，前文提到我们在面对困难时，感到不堪重负，无法解决，故B项“人类就擅长回避和否认。”能够承接前文，我们对于困难，感到不堪重负，无法解决，我们就擅长回避和否认，故选B项。 【17题详解】 根据空前“Some individuals fool themselves into thinking there really is not a problem. It’s like someone trying to hold active mice under a blanket by holding down the edges of the moving blanket. Pulling back the blanket to let the mice out is needed, despite being terrifying. Once the mice are released, there may be further challenges to get them out of the house.(一些人自欺欺人地认为真的没问题。这就像有人试图通过按住移动的毯子边缘，将活跃的老鼠夹在毯子下。尽管很可怕，但需要拉开毯子让老鼠出来。一旦老鼠被释放，将它们带出房子可能会面临进一步的挑战)”可知，空前提到一些人选择自欺欺人，认为没有问题，并用老鼠举例，故F项“然而，如果不先认识到问题，就无法面对问题。”能够承接前文，一些人总是选择自欺欺人，认为没有问题，但如果不先认识到问题，就无法面对问题，故选F项。 【18题详解】 根据空前“Avoiding or leaving the situation appears to fix the problem but fails to tackle the underlying cause. Rather than repeatedly cutting weeds, getting down on the ground and pulling the roots is more effective. Facing issues is like uncovering roots for new beginnings to blossom.(逃避或离开这种情况似乎可以解决问题，但无法解决根本原因。与其反复除草，倒在地上拔根更有效。面对问题就像解开新开端绽放的根源)”可知，空前提到，逃避或离开似乎能解决问题，但无法解决根本原因，故G项“快速解决可能会提供短期的轻松，但无法提供长期的轻松。”能够承接前文，逃避或离开这种情况似乎可以解决问题，但这样的快速解决只能提供短期的轻松，无法长期地解决问题，故选G项。 【19题详解】 根据空后“It feels like a balled-up mess of wires. Pulling hard at only one wire actually tightens the knot.(它就感觉像一团乱糟糟的电线。只要用力拉一根铁丝，就会打结)”可知，空后提到它就像是一团乱糟糟的电线，故D项“改变生活是困难而复杂的。”能够承接后文，空后的it指代D项中的“making changes”，做出改变是困难而复杂的，它就像是一团乱糟糟的电线，只要用力一拉，就会打结，故选D项。 【20题详解】 根据空前“We can’t expect the wires to loosen or unwind themselves.(我们不能指望电线会自动松动或解开)”可知，A项“它们就在那里，是混乱的一部分。”能够承接前文，是前文的顺义承接，我们不能指望电线会自动松开或解开，它们就在那里，是混乱的一部分，A项中的they指代前文的“wires”，故选A项。 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和 D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在 答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Madeline sat on her bed and tried to write.

As I gave him our usual introduction to the program, my first impression was, “I sure wouldn’t want to meet this guy again. ”After listening to my introduction, he answered, “I’ll think about it.” The next morning he was in our office to tell me he would be in our program. So Michael was officially admitted in my class. But it became immediately obvious that Michael couldn’t be matched with a suitable partner. He distanced himself with his attitude. And he soon became bored with the skill and drill games, but he would focus on the typing lessons for longer periods. Often I would catch him off task, playing games on the computer or following me around the room. He also told me stories of how he had injuries and hospitalizations that resulted from his anger. In desperation I suggested that he should put his interesting stories on the computer, which he seemed to think was a good idea. My motives were not professional, without any instructions at all, but I had to get him off of my back so I could keep everyone else working. While I was helping other students, Michael was happily occupied in his writing for more than a week and less of a bother to me. Finally, he printed out several pages, brought them to my desk and asked me to read them. Since the bell was going to ring, I told him that I would take them home and read them later. Later that evening I pulled his pages out and unwillingly began to read, expecting more of violent episodes. Instead, I read a personal story written by a sensitive young man who wore a cold and lonely shield (盾牌). The story was simple, moving, and sincere. Although his writing style was raw, his message was powerful enough to bring tears to my eyes. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The next morning, he asked me what I thought of his papers. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As his writing progressed, there was an obvious change in him. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The next morning, he asked me what I thought of his papers. I replied, “The story was simple, and the writing style was raw…”. Hearing this, he lowered his head with disappointment. “I haven’t finished my words. But the story was very moving, and sincere. And the message was powerful enough to bring tears to my eyes.” I continued. “Really?” The smile on his face shone like a diamond. “There is some room for you to improve your writing. As long as you work hard, you will make progress in writing.” I added. He promised me with determination that he would try his best to improve his writing. From that day on, he threw himself in writing. As his writing progressed, there was an obvious change in him. Instead of distancing himself from others, he began to talk with others, and even made friends with some people. The toothy smile appeared on his face usually. Whenever seeing me, he would greet to me warmly. He told me that he likes what he is like now and it is I and writing that have changed him. He was grateful for what I have done for him. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者所任教的职业培训项目中招收了一名辍学的学生Michael，他不喜欢和别人交流，且对技巧和练习游戏感到厌倦，但他会花更长的时间专注于写作。无奈之下，作者建议他把他有趣的故事放到写在电脑上上，随后他开始专注于写作。一天，他将自己的写作拿给作者看，作者刚开始以为他的写作是充满暴力的，但是在看完后，作者被他写得故事所感动。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天早上，他问我对他的论写作何看法。”可知，第一段可描写作者谈论自己对他写作的看法鼓励他继续努力。 ②由第二段首句内容“随着写作的进展，他的变化也很明显”可知，第二段可描写他的写作改变了他，使得他不再和别人疏远。 2.续写线索：作者回复——失望——作者告诉他他的写作很感人——高兴——鼓励他——全身心投入写作——写作取得进步他也改变了——开始不再和别人疏远——感谢作者 3.词汇激活行为类 ①低下头：lower one’s head/hang one’s head ②提高：improve/enhance ③和某人谈话：talk with sb./have a chat with sb. 情绪类 ①感谢：grateful/thankful ②感人的：moving/touching 【点睛】 [高分句型1]As long as you work hard, you will make progress in writing （由as long as引导的状语从句） [高分句型2] Whenever seeing me, he would greet to me warmly. （运用了状语从句的省略） [高分句型3] He told me that he likes what he is like now and it is I and writing that have changed him. （that引导的宾语从句，what引导的宾语从句以及强调句型） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024—2025学年高三年级第二次联考 英语 考生注意： 1. 答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号填写在试卷和答题卡上，并将考生号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3、考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有2分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题；每小题1. 5分，满分7. 5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例 ：How much is the shirt?

Course Meeting Times Lectures:3 sessions/week, 1. 5 hour/session Problem Sets (psets) Problem sets account for 20% of the final grade. Making a reasonable effort on the problem sets is, for most students, crucial for mastering the course material. Problem sets are designed to be completed in at most 3 hours; the time is monitored through student reports. Online Feedback Problems Online problems to be completed before most class meetings are posted on the class website. These consist of straightforward questions that provide useful feedback about the assigned material. Some students prefer to try the online problems before reading the text or watching videos as an advance guide to going over the material; that’s fine. Watching designated videos, or at least looking at the lecture-slide handouts, is generally helpful but optional. Like team problem-solving in class, online problems are graded only on participation: Students receive full credit as long as they try the problem, even if their answer is wrong. Online feedback problems account for 10% of the final grade. Midterm Exams Three 80-minute midterm exams will be given. The midterm exams each account for 15%of the final grade. Midterm questions will typically be variations of prior problems from class and psets, and the best way to prepare is to review on the published solutions to these problems. The first exam covers all previous weeks’ material;subsequent exams focus on the material after the previous exam. Final Exam There will be a three-hour final exam. This exam is worth 25% of the final class grade. The final exam will cover the entire subject with somewhat greater emphasis on material from after Midterm 3. Most exam questions will be variants of problems assigned during the term(psets, class, midterm, and online). It may include a few questions which combine topics that were originally covered separately. 1. What determines students’ grade in Online Feedback Problems? A. Active involvement. B. Submission time. C. Accuracy of answers. D. Completion of assignments 2. What is the main focus of the final exam? A. Variants of problem sets. B. Combined topics in class. C. The content after midterm exams. D. The whole-term course materials. 3. Which of the following weighs the most in the final grade? A. Final Exam. B. Midterm Exams. C. Problem Sets. D. Online Feedback Problems B It all started with a simple question;“Can I paint your portrait (肖像)?” In the summer of 2015 Brian Peterson was reading the book Love Does, about the power of love in action, when his quiet was disturbed by a homeless man. Inspired by the book, Peterson made an unexpected decision: He was going to introduce himself. In that first conversation, Peterson learned that the man’s name was Matt Faris who failed to pursue a career in music and ended up being homeless. “I saw beauty on the face of a man who hadn’t shaved in probably a year, had overgrown fingernails, and probably hadn’t had a shower in close to a year. ”Even though Peterson hadn’t pioked up a paintbrush in about eight years, he asked if he could paint Faris’s portrait. Faris said yes. Peterson’s connection with Faris led him to form Faces of Santa Ana, a nonprofit organization focused on befriending and painting portraits of members of the community who are unhoused. Working from a black-and-white photo of the subject, Peterson chooses colors inspired by the subject’s personality and life story, creating an impressive portrait. Peterson sells the striking artwork signed by both subject and artist, dividing the proceeds and putting half into what he calls a“love account”for his model. He then helps people use the money to get back on their feet. Many of Peterson’s new friends use the donations to secure immediate necessities. But Peterson has learned not to make assumptions about what a person needs most. “I’ve made a mistake thinking I knew what people wanted, ” he says, “but why don’t we just ask them?” Peterson has discovered that there’s more to the finished products than the money they bring to someone who’s down and out. The buyers tend to connect to the story of the person in the painting, finding similarities and often friendship with someone they might have otherwise overlooked. “People often tell me, ‘I was the one that would cross the street. But I see homeless people differently now, ’ ”Peterson says. 4. What brought Peterson and Faris together? A. Beauty on Faris’ face. B. Inspiration from a book. C. Peterson’s passion for art. D. Faris’ suffering in his life. 5. What does the underlined word “mistake” in paragraph 5 refer to? A. Selling the homeless’ portraits for profits. B. Giving instant necessities to the homeless. C. Asking the homeless for their needs directly. D. Taking what the homeless want for granted. 6. What does Peterson imply in the last paragraph? A. The homeless are gaining more concern. B. The life of the homeless is different now. C. Buyers value friendship with the homeless. D. Figures in Peterson’s paintings are popular. 7. What can we learn from this text? A. A good model is key to a fine artwork. B. An expected decision makes a great artist. C. A picture really is worth a thousand words. D. Each unfortunate person has his own misfortune. C The Malagasy baobab tree, whose thick trunks and tiny branches dot Madagascar’s landscape, should not, by rights, have survived to the present day. Scientists believe that its large seeds were once spread by the giant tortoises and lemur monkeys that wandered the island. When these species went extinct over one thousand years ago owing to human activity, the baobab tree should have disappeared too. It did not. Seheno Andriantsaralaza at the University of Antananarivo and Onja Razafindratsima at the University of California, now think they may know the reason why. Together with their colleagues, the scientists monitored 15 tree canopies (树冠) in a western region of Madagascar, to identify any animals that might have claimed the role of baobab-seed spread. The researchers also set up camera traps around seed-containing fruits lying on the ground, and searched any faeces (粪便) that they encountered along the way for the presence of seeds. They report in the journal Biotropica that a native rodent (啮齿动物) known as the western bunch-tailed rat was caught on camera handling whole fruits on four occasions. Although there was no footage of the rat breaking the fruits open, the team did chance upon 13 fruits that had been chewed into and had their seeds removed. Though the bite marks were not clear enough to identify an initiator, this was clear evidence that a seed- distributing animal was out there. They then found the ecological equivalent of a smoking gun:baobab seeds in seven different piles of bush-pig faces. While the finding is important in its own right, it also provides valuable evidence that introduced species may not be entirely harmful. Madagascar’s pigs, for example, though not native, have made themselves essential to the survival of truly native species. Similar relationships are suspected to hold in South America between rabbits native to Europe and plants with no seed distributors. For Dr Andriantsaralaza, that suggests the full ecological role of introduced species should be considered before talk of extinction begins. 8. What made scientists think the baobab tree should have disappeared? A. The extinction of its seed spreader. B. The destruction of human activities C. The inadaptation of the baobab tree. D. The increase of its natural enemies. 9. What are camera traps used for? A. Seeking seed-containing fruits. B. Tracking the footprints of seeds. C. Recording the animals’ activities. D. Monitoring the baobab tree canopies. 10. Which is most probably the seed-eater according to the report? A. The giant tortoise B. The bunch-tailed rat. C. The European rabbit. D. The bush-pig. 11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To introduce a new way to protect the baobab tree. B. To show non-native species are not always harmful. C. To compare different kinds of seed-distributing methods. D. To explain the importance of protecting endangered species. D The concepts of delayed satisfaction, self-control, and self-regulation are often used interchangeably and inconsistently. The ability to delay an impulse (冲动) for an immediate reward to receive a more favorable reward at a later time is the standard definition of delayed satisfaction. Studies show that delayed satisfaction is one of the most effective personal characteristics of successful people. People who learn how to manage their need to be satisfied in the moment develop more in their careers, relationships, health, and finances than people who give in to it. Being able to delay satisfaction isn’t the easiest skill to acquire. It involves feeling dissatisfied, which is why it seems impossible for people who haven’t learned to control their impulses. Choosing to have something now might feel good, but making the effort to have discipline and manage your impulses can result in bigger or better rewards in the future. Over time, delayed satisfaction will improve your self-control and ultimately help you achieve your long-term goals faster. The Seinfeld Strategy is one of several helpful self-satisfaction techniques you can use to put off satisfaction for longer periods of time. Every day that you delay satisfaction and avoid temptation (诱惑) , you cross it off your calendar. After a few days, this creates a chain. This strategy works well for people who enjoy gamification (游戏化). If you find it satisfying to keep the chain going, you’re less likely to give in to temptation. Do you find yourself going back to your temptations without thinking about it?If this is the case, you can practice mindfulness to become more aware of what you do. When you notice yourself doing something out of habit, stop for a moment. Ask yourself why you’re doing what you’re doing. Take some time to analyze how you’re feeling. Pay attention to the details. Take a moment of mindulness to interrupt your autopilot every time this happens. The more you practice this, the more you’ll break the habit of going for instant satisfaction. 12.

Why is delayed satisfaction hard to attain? A. It can lead to missed opportunities B. It’s bad for achieving long-term goals. C. It’s impossible to resist the inner needs D. It’s a comfort to possess something at once. 14. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. The complexity of the Seinfeld Strategy B. An example of self-discipline techniques. C.

Sometimes we are forced to simply shift, such as with a loss or failure; however, much of the time, we may recognize the difficulties underneath that need attention but feel too overwhelmed to address them. ___16___ The difficulties might be an outdated habit, a troubling memory or a long- ignored conflict. Some individuals fool themselves into thinking there really is not a problem. It’s like someone trying to hold active mice under a blanket by holding down the edges of the moving blanket. Pulling back the blanket to let the mice out is needed, despite being terrifying. Once the mice are released, there may be further challenges to get them out of the house. ___17___ People often encounter similar problems. Avoiding or leaving the situation appears to fix the problem but fails to tackle the underlying cause. Rather than repeatedly cutting weeds, getting down on the ground and pulling the roots is more effective. Facing issues is like uncovering roots for new beginnings to blossom. ___18___ ___19___ It feels like a balled-up mess of wires. Pulling hard at only one wire actually tightens the knot. We have to take a calmer look and pull apart each wire one at a time. We can’t expect the wires to loosen or unwind themselves. ___20___ Nevertheless, once they have been freed, they can sometimes be separated, put aside, and used as needed. A. They are just there and part of the chaos. B. And humans are masters of avoidance and denial. C. The overall benefits from tough work enable growth D. Making changes in one’s life is hard and complicated. E. Sadly it often worsens when we approach it with anger. F. However, problems cannot be faced if they are not first recognized. G.

As I gave him our usual introduction to the program, my first impression was, “I sure wouldn’t want to meet this guy again. ”After listening to my introduction, he answered, “I’ll think about it.” The next morning he was in our office to tell me he would be in our program. So Michael was officially admitted in my class. But it became immediately obvious that Michael couldn’t be matched with a suitable partner. He distanced himself with his attitude. And he soon became bored with the skill and drill games, but he would focus on the typing lessons for longer periods. Often I would catch him off task, playing games on the computer or following me around the room. He also told me stories of how he had injuries and hospitalizations that resulted from his anger. In desperation I suggested that he should put his interesting stories on the computer, which he seemed to think was a good idea. My motives were not professional, without any instructions at all, but I had to get him off of my back so I could keep everyone else working. While I was helping other students, Michael was happily occupied in his writing for more than a week and less of a bother to me. Finally, he printed out several pages, brought them to my desk and asked me to read them. Since the bell was going to ring, I told him that I would take them home and read them later. Later that evening I pulled his pages out and unwillingly began to read, expecting more of violent episodes. Instead, I read a personal story written by a sensitive young man who wore a cold and lonely shield (盾牌). The story was simple, moving, and sincere. Although his writing style was raw, his message was powerful enough to bring tears to my eyes. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The next morning, he asked me what I thought of his papers. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As his writing progressed, there was an obvious change in him. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
