While driving home after work, Jane Hodgson noticed a car pulled over at the side of the road and a crowd beginning to gather around someone who was lying on the ground.
Jane, who had completed a first aid at work course, pulled over to see if she could offer any help — and it turned out to be lucky for the young injured girl that she did.
Describing the scene she came across, Jane says: “The onlookers were ashen-faced and looking lost. They were so shocked that they hadn’t even thought to call for an ambulance yet.”
After speaking to the emergency services, Jane started finding out what had happened and what injuries the young girl called Jenny had. The girl had been hit by a car and gone over the handlebars of her bike, landing on her head and shoulder. Her shoulder and arm were twisted (扭曲) underneath her.
“She hadn’t been wearing a helmet (头盔) when she got knocked down, and I thought that she should not be moved as I couldn’t be sure about a spinal injury (脊椎损伤), but after looking her over and checking the circulation in her injured arm I did feel fairly confident that she had escaped relatively unhurt.
“As we were waiting for an ambulance, the amount of pain the girl was in was increasing. To distract (分散注意力) her and minimize the risk of her going into shock I kept her talking. She held my hand tightly when the pain got too much and this helped. I told her I could handle it — we laughed about that,” describes Jane.
Later, a doctor from the local hospital’s ICU stopped at the scene too. The ICU doctor decided that Jenny should lie on her back, making her much more comfortable until the emergency services arrived.
Thinking back, Jane says: “For me, knowing that in a small way I helped that girl through what was a frightening experience is all the reward I need. I felt great to know I’d made a difference and I’d do it again.”
24. We can learn from the text that Jane Hodgson _____.
A is an ICU doctor B. is a first⁃aid trainer
C. works in a local hospital D. has learned some first aid
25. After looking over the injured girl, Jane found _____.
A. Jenny had a spinal injury
B. Jenny didn’t have serious injuries
C. Jenny couldn’t remember what had happened
D. Jenny lost her helmet when she was knocked down
26. When waiting for an ambulance, _____.
A. Jenny refused to talk B. Jenny went into shock
C. Jane was a little impatient D. Jane kept giving Jenny confidence
27. Which of the following can best describe Jane Hodgson?
A. Strict but caring. B. Tough and generous.
C. Proud but determined. D. Warm-hearted and helpful.
C
Now more than 40 million foreigners around the world are learning Chinese,according to a report. The relationship between the United States and China is becoming more and more important in the world. This has really influenced the growth of Chinese language learning in U.S.
I am Chris from the United States. I am one of the many people who are learning Chinese. I am studying at a Confucius Institute in New York. There are 10 students in our class. Some are over thirty years old. Some are middle school students. Our teacher comes from Beijing. He is fun and often tells us interesting things in China.
I think Chinese is difficult to learn. The biggest challenge for American learners is the writing. Chinese is completely different from any other language in the world. It will take me a lot of time to learn enough Chinese characters. But 1 think there are many benefits of spending time in learning Chinese. One important benefit is that it makes me see things from a different point of view, because Chinese is such a different language from English. I think for American students the most important benefit is that learning a challenging language can open up their eyes.
28. From the passage we know that ________.
A. Chris has been to China B. Chris is thirty years old
C. Chris is an American D. Chris is in China now
29 ________is the most difficult thing of the language for foreigners according to the writer.
A. Listening B. Writing C. Reading D. Speaking
30. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A. Chris’ Chinese teacher is a Chinese.
B. More than 40 million Americans are learning Chinese.
C. Chris thinks there are few benefits of learning Chinese.
D. Most foreigners don’t think it’s difficult to learn Chinese.
31. The last paragraph is mainly about________ .
A. the differences between Chinese and other languages B. the reason for learning Chinese
C. the challenges and benefits of learning Chinese D. ways of learning Chinese
D
You don’t get a second chance to make a first impression — this was the theme of this year's International Public Speaking Competition (IPSC), held in London from May 11 to 12. Thirty-three young speakers aged 16 to 20 from around the world gathered at The English Speaking Union to tell their stories, including Wu Dongxu, 19, a student from China. To him, the event wasn’t just about giving a speech on first impressions. It also made a strong impression on him.
“Rather than a competition, the experience was more like an inspiring research trip to me, a trip that allowed me to see firsthand the differences and similarities between Chinese and foreign cultures,” said Wu.
Apart from the obvious differences in food, transportation and climate, what impressed Wu most was the different styles of Chinese and foreign public speaking.
Although still a teen, Wu is no stranger to the public speaking podium (讲台). He has participated in many speaking competitions since 2017. But on the stage of the IPSC, speakers had no podium to stand behind. They just had to face the audience.
“This was the first time that I gave a speech without a podium, which made me realize how important eye contact and body language are,” said Wu. “It also gave me more freedom to show more information with my body language instead of just with words.”
Another difference that caught Wu’s attention was the evaluation criteria (评价标准). According to him, in every speaking competition he had participated in in China, things like pronunciation, fluency and quality of language are always important. But to his surprise, in the IPSC accents and grammatical mistakes are not considered in the evaluation process. It is the story itself that matters most.
“Audiences are eager to hear powerful stories, no matter where they are from. That’s because the emotions expressed in them are shared by all human beings although there are the cultural differences.” said Wu. “Diversity (多样性), respect, tolerance and understanding — these are what the IPSC really wants to stress and spread.”
32. What is the topic of this year’s IPSC?
A. Cultural difference B. First impression.
C. Body language. D. English education.
33. What left Wu Dongxu the deepest impression?
A. The food culture. B. The transportation means.
C. The climate. D. The public speaking style.
34. What can we learn about the IPSC?
A. Speakers are allowed to use podiums.
B. Body language plays an important part.
C. Pronunciation and fluency matter a lot.
D. Language quality is considered the most important.
35. What is Wu Dongxu’s attitude towards the IPSC?
A. Supportive. B. Doubtful C. Objective D. Opposed.

67. 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。
Jack was a reserved (内向的) child who was often isolated at school. He used to suffer a lot. Seldom did he discuss anything in and after class, nor did he consult with his teacher. It seemed that he was more fond of immersing himself in his own world, However, his classmates didn’t understand his quietness and interests and often deliberately didn’t invite him to take part in activities. But in reality, Jack felt very lonely and longed to interact with others but didn’t know how to break down the barriers. He was eager to turn to someone for help.
Sadly, Jack’s parents were too occupied with daily chores to notice the change in him as he became quieter and more distant. Even when Jack picked up his courage to share his feelings, he was simply comforted by words like, “Go and get it. We know you can do it.”
However, Jack was at a total loss to pull himself out. At home, he had no alternative but to play his favorite jigsaw (拼图) puzzle in silence and avoided interacting with anyone. He began to wonder if he was doing something wrong and if he really wasn’t cut out to make friends and could never express himself properly. He felt sad and started not to associate with others.
Luckily, Jack’s class teacher noticed his predicament (窘境) and decided to step in to help. The teacher organized a class project after a math test, which seemed quite demanding for most students but not for Jack. The teacher required the students to work together in groups to solve the problems of their own and then he would invite someone to present his or her critical ideas on behalf of the group. The teacher then purposely placed Jack in a disadvantaged group and encouraged him to show his strengths. To the teacher’s credit, Jack didn’t let him down.
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。
During the project, Jack impressed all the group members.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Jack learned a lot from the project and decided to make a change.

原文】W: I read a story in a book the other day. It showed something important and I wanted to share it with you. The story was set in the years before cars were invented, so the rich had to travel in coaches. One day, a young lady wanted to watch a play in the theater. Her coachman took her to the theater in a coach. It was very cold. While she was watching the play, the poor coachman had to sit outside in the snow on the driver's seat of the coach looking after the horse. Inside the theater, the lady was moved to tears by the performance. Some actors in the play were in extremely poor situations. She showed great pity on them However, when she came out and saw the coachman covered with snow and almost frozen to death, she just considered it as a normal part of life. Nowadays, whenever I see people in terrible situations on TV, I feel sad, wishing that I could do something to make a difference. But I often ignore people and things around me, like people who struggle with life. They lose their jobs, experience death in their family or suffer diseases. Help those as you can. This is the story. Is there anyone who can share something you read during the holidays in class?

While driving home after work, Jane Hodgson noticed a car pulled over at the side of the road and a crowd beginning to gather around someone who was lying on the ground.
Jane, who had completed a first aid at work course, pulled over to see if she could offer any help — and it turned out to be lucky for the young injured girl that she did.
Describing the scene she came across, Jane says: “The onlookers were ashen-faced and looking lost. They were so shocked that they hadn’t even thought to call for an ambulance yet.”
After speaking to the emergency services, Jane started finding out what had happened and what injuries the young girl called Jenny had. The girl had been hit by a car and gone over the handlebars of her bike, landing on her head and shoulder. Her shoulder and arm were twisted (扭曲) underneath her.
“She hadn’t been wearing a helmet (头盔) when she got knocked down, and I thought that she should not be moved as I couldn’t be sure about a spinal injury (脊椎损伤), but after looking her over and checking the circulation in her injured arm I did feel fairly confident that she had escaped relatively unhurt.
“As we were waiting for an ambulance, the amount of pain the girl was in was increasing. To distract (分散注意力) her and minimize the risk of her going into shock I kept her talking. She held my hand tightly when the pain got too much and this helped. I told her I could handle it — we laughed about that,” describes Jane.
Later, a doctor from the local hospital’s ICU stopped at the scene too. The ICU doctor decided that Jenny should lie on her back, making her much more comfortable until the emergency services arrived.
Thinking back, Jane says: “For me, knowing that in a small way I helped that girl through what was a frightening experience is all the reward I need. I felt great to know I’d made a difference and I’d do it again.”
24. We can learn from the text that Jane Hodgson _____.
A. is an ICU doctor B. is a first⁃aid trainer
C. works in a local hospital D. has learned some first aid
25. After looking over the injured girl, Jane found _____.
A. Jenny had a spinal injury
B. Jenny didn’t have serious injuries

D. Jenny lost her helmet when she was knocked down
26. When waiting for an ambulance, _____.

C. Jane was a little impatient D. Jane kept giving Jenny confidence
27. Which of the following can best describe Jane Hodgson?
A. Strict but caring. B. Tough and generous.
C. Proud but determined. D. Warm-hearted and helpful.
【答案】24. D 25. B 26. D 27. D

I told her I could handle it — we laughed about that,” describes Jane.(为了分散她的注意力,尽量减少她休克的风险,我一直让她说话。疼得厉害的时候,她紧紧地握着我的手,这帮助了我。我告诉她我能搞定——我们笑了,”简描述道)”可知,在等救护车时作者与她不断谈话,让她紧握着自己,以此减少疼痛,并告诉她可以处理当前情况。由此可知,Jane在不断地给Jenny信心。故选D项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Jane, who had completed a first aid at work course, pulled over to see if she could offer any help — and it turned out to be lucky for the young injured girl that she did.(简已经完成了工作中的急救课程,她把车停在路边,想看看是否可以提供帮助——结果对这个年轻受伤的女孩儿来说幸运的是,她提供了帮助)”可知,在途中Jane碰到意外事故便停下来来帮忙,以及下文中讲述的Jane对受伤的Jenny进行救援的过程可知,她是个热心肠而又乐于助人的人。故选D项。

You don’t get a second chance to make a first impression — this was the theme of this year's International Public Speaking Competition (IPSC), held in London from May 11 to 12. Thirty-three young speakers aged 16 to 20 from around the world gathered at The English Speaking Union to tell their stories, including Wu Dongxu, 19, a student from China. To him, the event wasn’t just about giving a speech on first impressions. It also made a strong impression on him.
“Rather than a competition, the experience was more like an inspiring research trip to me, a trip that allowed me to see firsthand the differences and similarities between Chinese and foreign cultures,” said Wu.
Apart from the obvious differences in food, transportation and climate, what impressed Wu most was the different styles of Chinese and foreign public speaking.
Although still a teen, Wu is no stranger to the public speaking podium (讲台). He has participated in many speaking competitions since 2017. But on the stage of the IPSC, speakers had no podium to stand behind. They just had to face the audience.
“This was the first time that I gave a speech without a podium, which made me realize how important eye contact and body language are,” said Wu. “It also gave me more freedom to show more information with my body language instead of just with words.”
Another difference that caught Wu’s attention was the evaluation criteria (评价标准). According to him, in every speaking competition he had participated in in China, things like pronunciation, fluency and quality of language are always important. But to his surprise, in the IPSC accents and grammatical mistakes are not considered in the evaluation process. It is the story itself that matters most.
“Audiences are eager to hear powerful stories, no matter where they are from. That’s because the emotions expressed in them are shared by all human beings although there are the cultural differences.” said Wu. “Diversity (多样性), respect, tolerance and understanding — these are what the IPSC really wants to stress and spread.”
32. What is the topic of this year’s IPSC?
A. Cultural difference B. First impression.
C. Body language. D. English education.
33. What left Wu Dongxu the deepest impression?
A. The food culture. B. The transportation means.
C. The climate. D. The public speaking style.
34. What can we learn about the IPSC?
A. Speakers are allowed to use podiums.
B. Body language plays an important part.
C. Pronunciation and fluency matter a lot.
D. Language quality is considered the most important.
35. What is Wu Dongxu’s attitude towards the IPSC?
A. Supportive. B. Doubtful C. Objective D. Opposed.
【答案】32. B 33. D 34. B 35. A
【解析】

细节理解题。根据第三段“Apart from the obvious differences in food, transportation and climate, what impressed Wu most was the different styles of Chinese and foreign public speaking. (除了饮食、交通和气候的明显差异外,给吴印象最深的是中国和外国公开演讲的不同风格)”可知,这次比赛令Wu Dongxu最为印象深刻的是中西公开演讲风格的差异。故选D。
【34题详解】

【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“To him, the event wasn’t just about giving a speech on first impressions. It also made a strong impression on him. (对他来说,这次活动不仅仅是关于第一印象的演讲。这也给他留下了深刻的印象)”和最后一段““Audiences are eager to hear powerful stories, no matter where they are from. That’s because the emotions expressed in them are shared by all human beings although there are the cultural differences.” said Wu. “Diversity (多样性), respect, tolerance and understanding — these are what the IPSC really wants to stress and spread.”(无论观众来自哪里,他们都渴望听到震撼人心的故事。这是因为尽管存在文化差异,但它们所表达的情感是全人类共有的。吴说。“多样性、尊重、宽容和理解——这些是IPSC真正想要强调和传播的。”)”可知,Wu Dongxu对此次比赛评价很高,是支持的。故选A。

64. the 65. more
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了手机或电脑发出的蓝光对我们的危害,和一些防御的方法。
【56题详解】
考查名词。句意:几个月的研究和测试表明,蓝光会让人难以入睡。结合空格后的 of studies 可知,用复数名词表泛指,意为“数月的研究”符合语境,且位于句首的单词首字母要大写。故填 Months。
【57题详解】
考查代词。句意:同上。分析句式结构可知,此处用 it 作形式宾语,真正的宾语是动词不定式 to sleep。故填 it。
【58题详解】
考查主谓一致。句意:这意味着你的身体没有得到它需要的休息。分析句式结构可知,此处是省略引导词的定语从句,从句中主语 it 为第三人称单数形式,且根据上文的 doesn't 可知,时态为一般现在时,所以此处用动词的第三人称单数形式。故填 needs。
【59题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这可能会导致心脏问题,感觉不开心,变胖。分析句式结构可知,此处应该用现在分词作伴随状语与上文的 feeling 并列。故填 getting。
【60题详解】
考查动词的时态。句意:我们测试了两组人,让他们在睡觉前做不同的事情:看手机或读书。分析句意再根据下文的 found 可知,此处应该是用一般现在时。故填 tested。
【61题详解】
考查形容词。句意:我们发现,当你在睡前看手机时,你会感觉不那么累,睡眠时间也会减少。根据空格前的感官动词 feel 可知,此处应该用形容词作表语。故填 tired。
【62题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:好消息是,我们还发现了一些人们可以做的事情来远离这个问题。分析句式结构可知,此处用动词不定式作目的状语。故填 to stay。
【63题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:人们可以做的另一件事是在白天从太阳那里获得大量明亮的光线。分析句式结构可知,此处是定语从句,且从句中缺少宾语,所以用关系代词 that 或 which 来引导定语从句。故填 that/which。
【64题详解】
考查冠词。句意:同上。分析句意可知,此处是指在白天获得明亮光线,所以用 the 构成固定短语 during the day 表示“在白天”,符合语境。故填 the。
【65题详解】
考查比较级。句意:研究已经向我们展示了很多,但还有更多事情需要做。根据空格前的 even 并结合句意可知, 此处应该用提示词的比较级形式。故填 more。

67. 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。
Jack was a reserved (内向的) child who was often isolated at school. He used to suffer a lot. Seldom did he discuss anything in and after class, nor did he consult with his teacher. It seemed that he was more fond of immersing himself in his own world, However, his classmates didn’t understand his quietness and interests and often deliberately didn’t invite him to take part in activities. But in reality, Jack felt very lonely and longed to interact with others but didn’t know how to break down the barriers. He was eager to turn to someone for help.
Sadly, Jack’s parents were too occupied with daily chores to notice the change in him as he became quieter and more distant. Even when Jack picked up his courage to share his feelings, he was simply comforted by words like, “Go and get it. We know you can do it.”
However, Jack was at a total loss to pull himself out. At home, he had no alternative but to play his favorite jigsaw (拼图) puzzle in silence and avoided interacting with anyone. He began to wonder if he was doing something wrong and if he really wasn’t cut out to make friends and could never express himself properly. He felt sad and started not to associate with others.
Luckily, Jack’s class teacher noticed his predicament (窘境) and decided to step in to help. The teacher organized a class project after a math test, which seemed quite demanding for most students but not for Jack. The teacher required the students to work together in groups to solve the problems of their own and then he would invite someone to present his or her critical ideas on behalf of the group. The teacher then purposely placed Jack in a disadvantaged group and encouraged him to show his strengths. To the teacher’s credit, Jack didn’t let him down.
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。
During the project, Jack impressed all the group members.

Obviously, he was recommended as the one to give the final representation, which accordingly gained widespread recognition among his classmates. As a result, his classmates recognized his kind and strong side. They began to regret not associating with him.
Jack learned a lot from the project and decided to make a change. Through this experience, Jack learned to be confident and brave in expressing himself publicly. He picked up a lesson: everyone has his or her own characteristics and strengths, and as long as they find the right way to show them, they will be able to win the understanding and respect of others. He also knew how to communicate and interact better with others. More importantly, he began to open up and make friends with his classmates. Finally, Jack developed a closed friendship with them.
