A
Four Ways Your Cat Tries to Communicate with You
Cats are amazing creatures, and while they can’t talk to us, they certainly know how to communicate their needs and feelings. It’s just up to us to learn how to listen to what they are saying.
Meowing
Cats meow at their owners for several reasons, including: to ask for food, to greet people, to ask for attention, to let you know they want to go outside/come inside. In addition, elderly cats suffering from cognitive disfunction, similar to Alzheimer’s Disease (阿尔茨海默症) in humans, may meow due to becoming confused or disoriented, so we encourage you to schedule an appointment with us if your senior cat seems confused or is meowing more than usual.
Purring
While cats do purr as a sign of contentment, they also do it as a self-comforting mechanism when sick, stressed or injured. If your cat is purring but also showing signs that something may be wrong, like hiding more than usual or refusing food/water, they could be sick or in pain.
Tail Posture
If they hold their tail straight up and have relaxed fur, they’re likely to feel happy or curious. But if their fur stands on end while their tail is straight, this indicates fear or anger. Holding the tail low or hidden between the legs indicates insecurity, and a tail that’s rapidly twitching back and forth suggests anxiety.
Rubbing
When your cat rubs against your legs or gives you head butts, they are telling you that they love you. That is not the only thing they are doing, though! Cats rub their bodies and cheeks against people and objects to mark their territory and to claim humans, other cats, and various objects as their own.
1. When cats are sick or in pain, what are they likely to do?
A. Meow at their owners. B. Rub against your legs.
C. Purr and refuse food. D. Hold their tail straight up.
2. What may a cat show when it hides its tail between legs?
A. Insecurity. B. Depression. C. Curiosity. D. Happiness.
3. Who provides this text most probably?
A A cat sitter. B. A cat owner.
C. An animal shelter. D. A pet healthcare centre.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
Soon, you’ re going to have to move out!” cried my neighbor upon seeing the largest tomato plant known to mankind, or at least known in my neighborhood.
One tiny 9-inch plant, bought for $1. 25 in the spring, has already taken over much of my rose bed, covering much of other plants, and is well on its way to the front door.
Roses require a good deal of care, and if it weren’t for the pleasure they give, it wouldn’ t be worth the work. As it is, I have a garden full of sweet-smelling roses for most of the year. Bushes must be pruned (剪枝) in early spring, leaving ugly woody branches until the new growth appears a few weeks later. It was the space available in the garden that led me into planting just one little tomato plant. A big mistake.
Soil conditions made just perfect for roses turn out to be even more perfect for tomatoes. The daily watering coupled with full sun and regular fertilizing (施肥) have turned the little plant into a tall bush. The cage I placed around it as the plant grew has long disappeared under the thick leaves.
Now the task I face in harvesting the fruit is twofold. First, I have to find the red ones among the leaves, which means I almost have to stand on my head, and once found I have to reach down and under, pick the tomatoes and withdraw (缩回) my full fist without dropping the prize so dearly won. I found two full-blown white roses completely hidden as I picked tomatoes in June. But they were weak and the leaves already yellow for lack of light.
Here I am faced with a painful small decision: To tear up a wonderful and productive tomato plant that offers up between ten and twenty ripe sweet tomatoes each day or say goodbye to several expensive and treasured roses. Like Scarlett in Gone With the Wind, I’ ll think about that tomorrow.
4. What are the requirements for the healthy growth of rose?
A. Frequent pruning and fertilizing.
B. A lot of care and the right soil.
C. Tomato plants grown alongside.
D. Cages placed around the roots.
5. The writer planted the tomato plant because______.
A. there was room for it in the garden
B. the soil was just right for it
C. it cost only $1. 25
D. the roses’ branches needed to be covered
6. This year the writer’s roses were_______.
A. removed from the rose bed
B. largely hidden under the tomato plant
C. mostly damaged by too much sunlight
D. picked along with the tomatoes
7. By saying “the prize so dearly won” in Paragraph 5, the writer wants to_________.
A. express her liking for the roses
B. show the hardship of growing the roses
C. show the difficulty in picking the tomatoes
D. express her care for the tomatoes
C
To humans, roads mean connection and escape; to other life-forms, they spell death and division. A half-century ago, just 3 percent of land animals met their end on a road; by 2017 the number had greatly doubled.
Considering the outsize effects of roads, it’s perhaps surprising that they didn’t truly receive their scientific due until the late 20th century. In 1993, Richard Forman, a landscape ecologist, coined an English term: “road ecology,” defined loosely as the study of how “life changes for plants and animals with a road and traffic nearby.” As the 1990s wore on, road ecology gained steam.
Like most people, I at once cherish animals and think nothing of piloting a 3,000-pounddeath machine. One summer, in Alaska, I hit a songbird–a death I didn’t discover until I found the delicate splash of feathers the next day. I’d killed it unconsciously. But I could do nothing.
Road ecology offers one path through this thicket (灌木丛). North America and Europe constructed their road networks with little regard for how they would affect nature. Today, in theory, we know better. Road ecology has revealed the danger of thoughtless development and pointed us toward solutions. Over the last several decades, its practitioners have constructed bridges for bears, tunnels (隧道) for turtles. In Kenya, elephants move slowly beneath highways and railroads via passages as tall as two-story houses.
And road ecology has yielded more than crossings: We’ve also learned to map and protect the migrations of certain animals, to design roadsides that nourish bees and butterflies– proof that old mistakes need not be permanent.
Today we’re entering a period that might fairly be considered the golden age of road ecology. The coming years will undoubtedly be transformative ones for our road network. Still, whether we can ever truly undo the harms of our concrete-coated world is far less certain.
8. What may be the reason for the doubled death number by 2017?
A. Road noises. B. Traffic accidents. C. Natural disasters. D. Hunting activities.
9. What did the author want to tell us by the experience in Alaska in Paragraph 3?
A. Songbirds were common in that area. B. The songbird’s death was undervalued.
C. Driving a car was necessary for his job. D. He was much troubled by the songbird.
10 Which best describes the impact of road ecology?
A. Far-reaching. B. One-sided. C. Short-lived. D. Unnoticeable.
11. What is the most suitable title for the text?
A. How Roads Have Transformed the Natural World B. What Measures Should Be Taken to Protect Animals
C. How Road Ecology Will Change the Future World D. What Difficulties Humans face in Road Construction
D
In the days before the internet, critical thinking was the most important skill that informed citizens could have. But in the digital age, according to Anastasia Kozyreva, a German psychologist, an even more important skill is “critical ignoring.” With such an overabundance of information, we need to first decide what’s worth our attention and time, and what’s not.
The first strategy is self-nudging. This involves avoiding low-quality information so that we have more quality time for ourselves. It also involves the removal of distracting things from the environment around you. Of course, we need to stay informed of world events, so we can’t just ignore the internet altogether. When you do go into social media, Kozyreva recommends setting time limits, which prevents you from losing track of time as you click on one attractive link after another.
The next strategy is lateral (横向的) reading. Its purpose is to improve judgments about the reliability of information, and to protect you from false and misleading information. The strategy involves opening a new web page to find out more about the source of the information. Likewise, it’s also good to check the source of the information in an internet post. Headlines are often cheating. They’re designed to attract attention, not provide information. The main idea of the article may be completely contrary to the implication in the headline. A sensational claim may provide a link with a headline that seems to support it, but a careful reading of the original source shows it doesn’t.
We live in a digital age in which we’re overwhelmed with information, much of it of poor quality. Train our critical ignoring skills and we can get the benefits of the internet while we avoid falling victim to those who try to control our attention.
12. Which of the following saying can best describe “critical ignoring”?
A. Rob Peter to pay Paul. B. Make something out of nothing.
C. Birds of a feather flock together. D. Separate the sheep from the goats.
13. What does the author suggest for applying self-nudging strategy?
A. Improving study equipment. B. Managing our own time well.
C. Avoiding access to social media. D. Staying informed of what happened.
14. How can we get the reliable information of an article?
A. By focusing on headlines. B. By reading posts at random.
C. By searching for original sources. D. By consulting authorities for advice.
15. What is the purpose of writing the text?
A. To clarify a concept. B. To promote an app. C. To describe a scene. D. To make a proposal.
第二节(共5小题:每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
When you’re meeting someone new, concentrate your full attention on him. ___16___ Instead, look the person in the eye, shake hands, and listen carefully to his whole name as it’s said.
Ask
Speak the name back to the person in the form of a question. “Hi, I’m Katherine. I’m sorry, did you say Don or Dom?” Or “Robert, is it? Nice to meet you. I’m Katherine.” ___17___ Thus, by repeating the name this way, you’re increasing your chances of remembering it. To up the odds even more, try working in another question if possible: “Are you Stephen with a ‘ph’ or a ‘v’?” “Ty...Is that short for Tyler?”
Associate
___18___ If your new acquaintance goes by Bill, make quick mental associations with famous people named Bill, relatives named Bill, or any other kind of bill. Creating mental connections and supporting them with a statement said aloud further cements the name in your memory.
Employ
After repeating the name and then commenting on it, use it once or twice more in conversation. Do this either by addressing the person directly or referring to him while speaking to someone else (“Hey, Jim! Bill and I were just talking about that new Brad Pitt movie!”) ___19___ Be careful not to overuse the name, though, since that can come off as awkward or insincere.
Using a person’s name is a key to opening doors for you and to maintaining an initial rapport(和谐的关系) that could make this person a new friend for life or a lifelong business partner. ___20___
A. You can write down the name when it is necessary.
B. When the conversation ends, use the person’s name again.
C. The brain responds more actively when a question is answered.
D. Whenever you are introduced to someone, keep your mind on it.
E. Don’t race ahead in your mind to come up with something to say.
F. Next, tell yourself something about the name to ensure that it sticks.
G. Make the decision to start remembering people’s names from today!

Without ___25___ the danger they were in, they were walking right into the path of oncoming cars. I was ___26___ because I didn’t know whether the other drivers understood what was happening.
To my amazement, I saw a wonderful scene unfold before my eyes. Every car in every direction came to a(n) ___27___ . No sharp sounds of brakes or noisy horn (喇叭) were heard, ___28___ did anyone shout, “Get out of the way!” At that moment, time seemed to stand still for the ___29___.
I looked around the cars and noticed that everybody’s attention was fixed on them ___30___, the driver to my right shouted,” To your right! To your right!” Other people ___31___ him, shouting,” To your right!”
The couple ___32___ their own direction and they made it to the other side of the road. As they arrived at the roadside, one thing ___33___ me — they were still arm-in-arm. I was amazed by the___34___ expressions on their faces and judged that they had no idea what was really ___35___ around them.

In a house far from the city lived John and his mother. John’s only hobby was wandering in the nearby picturesque forest. In its center was a shiny clear lake with schools of fish dancing in it. Lovely animals such as deer or rabbits were playing around and cute birds were singing in trees. Fascinated by the beauty and liveliness of nature, he desired to become a great artist and present all the breath-taking scenes to the world.
John studied in the local primary school. Life was not easy for John and his mom after his father died. Knowing what hard work his mother did to make ends meet, John really didn’t want his mother to worry. His mother knew the significance of education in life but she was against his dream of becoming an artist. “The profession of artist can’t aid a person in meeting his daily expenses,” she would say. But as each day passed, John’s dream became more passionate.
Due to the living circumstances, even buying some new colors would be a luxury. John only used the worn drawing file and limited colors for his daily practice. Though lacking fine painting materials, he never gave up drawing. He spent a significant amount of time staying in the forest, secretly perfecting his craft. With continuous hard work and a distinct gift for art, he drew beautifully.
One day John read about a competition being held in the town, whose deadline was only two days away. He got the perfect opportunity to fulfill his desire but he was in a dilemma (两难境地) as for the competition he needed special paints and some brushes. He didn’t have the courage to ask his mother for money as he knew her prejudice against art.
That evening his mom returned from work and handed him a few paper notes saying, “This is for your lunch at school next month.” The money was enough for his desired materials! John’s face lit up.
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。
Early the next morning, John secretly left home with the money.

Four Ways Your Cat Tries to Communicate with You
Cats are amazing creatures, and while they can’t talk to us, they certainly know how to communicate their needs and feelings. It’s just up to us to learn how to listen to what they are saying.
Meowing
Cats meow at their owners for several reasons, including: to ask for food, to greet people, to ask for attention, to let you know they want to go outside/come inside. In addition, elderly cats suffering from cognitive disfunction, similar to Alzheimer’s Disease (阿尔茨海默症) in humans, may meow due to becoming confused or disoriented, so we encourage you to schedule an appointment with us if your senior cat seems confused or is meowing more than usual.
Purring
While cats do purr as a sign of contentment, they also do it as a self-comforting mechanism when sick, stressed or injured. If your cat is purring but also showing signs that something may be wrong, like hiding more than usual or refusing food/water, they could be sick or in pain.

Holding the tail low or hidden between the legs indicates insecurity, and a tail that’s rapidly twitching back and forth suggests anxiety.

Cats rub their bodies and cheeks against people and objects to mark their territory and to claim humans, other cats, and various objects as their own.
1. When cats are sick or in pain, what are they likely to do?
A. Meow at their owners. B. Rub against your legs.
C. Purr and refuse food. D. Hold their tail straight up.
2. What may a cat show when it hides its tail between legs?
A. Insecurity. B. Depression. C. Curiosity. D. Happiness.
3. Who provides this text most probably?
A. A cat sitter. B. A cat owner.
C. An animal shelter. D. A pet healthcare centre.
【答案】1. C 2. A 3. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了和宠物猫咪交流的四种方式。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“If your cat is purring but also showing signs that something may be wrong, like hiding more than usual or refusing food/water, they could be sick or in pain.”(如果你的猫咪正在咕噜咕噜地叫,但同时也表现出可能出了问题的迹象,比如比平时藏得更多或者拒绝食物/水,它们可能生病了或者很痛苦。)可知,猫咪生病或很痛苦的时候,它们会咕噜咕噜叫或者拒绝食物。故选C。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Holding the tail low or hidden between the legs indicates insecurity, and a tail that’s rapidly twitching back and forth suggests anxiety.”(把尾巴放低或藏在两腿之间表示不安全感,尾巴快速来回抽动表示焦虑。)可知,当猫咪把尾巴藏在两腿之间,表示它们感觉到了不安全感。故选A。
【3题详解】

Soon, you’ re going to have to move out!” cried my neighbor upon seeing the largest tomato plant known to mankind, or at least known in my neighborhood.
One tiny 9-inch plant, bought for $1. 25 in the spring, has already taken over much of my rose bed, covering much of other plants, and is well on its way to the front door.
Roses require a good deal of care, and if it weren’t for the pleasure they give, it wouldn’ t be worth the work. As it is, I have a garden full of sweet-smelling roses for most of the year. Bushes must be pruned (剪枝) in early spring, leaving ugly woody branches until the new growth appears a few weeks later. It was the space available in the garden that led me into planting just one little tomato plant. A big mistake.
Soil conditions made just perfect for roses turn out to be even more perfect for tomatoes. The daily watering coupled with full sun and regular fertilizing (施肥) have turned the little plant into a tall bush. The cage I placed around it as the plant grew has long disappeared under the thick leaves.
Now the task I face in harvesting the fruit is twofold. First, I have to find the red ones among the leaves, which means I almost have to stand on my head, and once found I have to reach down and under, pick the tomatoes and withdraw (缩回) my full fist without dropping the prize so dearly won. I found two full-blown white roses completely hidden as I picked tomatoes in June. But they were weak and the leaves already yellow for lack of light.
Here I am faced with a painful small decision: To tear up a wonderful and productive tomato plant that offers up between ten and twenty ripe sweet tomatoes each day or say goodbye to several expensive and treasured roses. Like Scarlett in Gone With the Wind, I’ ll think about that tomorrow.
4. What are the requirements for the healthy growth of rose?
A. Frequent pruning and fertilizing.
B. A lot of care and the right soil.
C. Tomato plants grown alongside.
D. Cages placed around the roots.
5. The writer planted the tomato plant because______.
A. there was room for it in the garden
B. the soil was just right for it
C. it cost only $1. 25
D. the roses’ branches needed to be covered
6. This year the writer’s roses were_______.
A. removed from the rose bed
B. largely hidden under the tomato plant
C. mostly damaged by too much sunlight
D. picked along with the tomatoes
7. By saying “the prize so dearly won” in Paragraph 5, the writer wants to_________.
A. express her liking for the roses
B. show the hardship of growing the roses
C. show the difficulty in picking the tomatoes
D. express her care for the tomatoes
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. B 7. C
【解析】

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Roses require a good deal of care, and if it weren’t for the pleasure they give, it wouldn’ t be worth the work. (玫瑰需要精心呵护,如果不是为了它带来的乐趣,它就不值得花那么多功夫)”和第四段中的“Soil conditions made just perfect for roses turn out to be even more perfect for tomatoes.(正好适合玫瑰生长的土壤条件对番茄来说更完美)”可知,玫瑰健康生长需要大量的照料和正确的土壤。故选B项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。从第三段倒数第二句“It was the space available in the garden that led me into planting just one little tomato plant. (是因为花园里有足够的空间,我才种了一株小小的番茄)”可知,作家种西红柿是因为花园里有空地。故选A项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“One tiny 9-inch plant, bought for $1. 25 in the spring, has already taken over much of my rose bed, covering much of other plants, and is well on its way to the front door. (花1美元买了一株9英寸的小植物,在春天的时候,它已经占据了我的大部分玫瑰花圃,覆盖了很多其他的植物,而且很快就会到达前门)”可知,西红柿已经盖住了玫瑰花。故选B项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据本段首句中the task可知,作者将摘西红柿看成是一项“任务”;以及“First, I have to find the red ones among the leaves, which means I almost have to stand on my head, and once found I have to reach down and under, pick the tomatoes and withdraw (缩回) my full fist without dropping the prize so dearly won. (首先,我必须在叶子中找到红色的,这意味着我几乎要倒立起来,一旦找到了,我就必须把手伸到下面,摘起西红柿,然后收回我的拳头,不让我来之不易的奖品掉下去)”可知,在第5段中,作者想通过说“来之不易的奖品”来表达摘西红柿的困难。故选C项。
C
To humans, roads mean connection and escape; to other life-forms, they spell death and division. A half-century ago, just 3 percent of land animals met their end on a road; by 2017 the number had greatly doubled.
Considering the outsize effects of roads, it’s perhaps surprising that they didn’t truly receive their scientific due until the late 20th century. In 1993, Richard Forman, a landscape ecologist, coined an English term: “road ecology,” defined loosely as the study of how “life changes for plants and animals with a road and traffic nearby.” As the 1990s wore on, road ecology gained steam.
Like most people, I at once cherish animals and think nothing of piloting a 3,000-pounddeath machine. One summer, in Alaska, I hit a songbird–a death I didn’t discover until I found the delicate splash of feathers the next day. I’d killed it unconsciously. But I could do nothing.
Road ecology offers one path through this thicket (灌木丛). North America and Europe constructed their road networks with little regard for how they would affect nature. Today, in theory, we know better. Road ecology has revealed the danger of thoughtless development and pointed us toward solutions. Over the last several decades, its practitioners have constructed bridges for bears, tunnels (隧道) for turtles. In Kenya, elephants move slowly beneath highways and railroads via passages as tall as two-story houses.
And road ecology has yielded more than crossings: We’ve also learned to map and protect the migrations of certain animals, to design roadsides that nourish bees and butterflies– proof that old mistakes need not be permanent.
Today we’re entering a period that might fairly be considered the golden age of road ecology. The coming years will undoubtedly be transformative ones for our road network. Still, whether we can ever truly undo the harms of our concrete-coated world is far less certain.
8. What may be the reason for the doubled death number by 2017?
A. Road noises. B. Traffic accidents. C. Natural disasters. D. Hunting activities.
9. What did the author want to tell us by the experience in Alaska in Paragraph 3?
A. Songbirds were common in that area. B. The songbird’s death was undervalued.
C. Driving a car was necessary for his job. D. He was much troubled by the songbird.
10. Which best describes the impact of road ecology?
A. Far-reaching. B. One-sided. C. Short-lived. D. Unnoticeable.
11 What is the most suitable title for the text?
A. How Roads Have Transformed the Natural World B. What Measures Should Be Taken to Protect Animals
C. How Road Ecology Will Change the Future World D. What Difficulties Humans face in Road Construction
【答案】8. B 9. B 10. A 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了道路生态使人们开始保护动物,避免动物发生交通事故,进而改变了自然世界。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“A half-century ago, just 3 percent of land animals met their end on a road; by 2017 the number had greatly doubled.( 半个世纪以前,只有3% 的陆地动物在路上死去;到2017年,这个数字大大增加了一倍。)”可知,2017年死亡数翻倍的原因是交通事故。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Like most people, I at once cherish animals and think nothing of piloting a 3,000-pounddeath machine. One summer, in Alaska, I hit a songbird–a death I didn’t discover until I found the delicate splash of feathers the next day. I’d killed it unconsciously.(像大多数人一样,我立刻就爱上了动物,对驾驶一台3000磅重的死亡机器毫不在意。一年夏天,在阿拉斯加,我撞上了一只鸣鸟——直到第二天我发现了那片纤细的羽毛,我才发现它的死亡。我无意识地杀了它)”可推知,作者想通过第三段在阿拉斯加的经历告诉我们的是,他没有重视鸣鸟的死,故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中“Today, in theory, we know better. Road ecology has revealed the danger of thoughtless development and pointed us toward solutions. Over the last several decades, its practitioners have constructed bridges for bears, tunnels (隧道) for turtles. In Kenya, elephants move slowly beneath highways and railroads via passages as tall as two-story houses.(今天,从理论上讲,我们更清楚。道路生态学揭示了盲目开发的危害,为我们指明了解决之道。在过去的几十年里,它的从业者为熊建造了桥梁,为海龟建造了隧道。在肯尼亚,大象在高速公路和铁路下通过两层楼高的通道缓慢移动)”和倒数第二段中“And road ecology has yielded more than crossings: We’ve also learned to map and protect the migrations of certain animals, to design roadsides that nourish bees and butterflies– proof that old mistakes need not be permanent.(道路生态学带来的不仅仅是交叉路口: 我们还学会了绘制和保护某些动物的迁徙地图,学会了设计能滋养蜜蜂和蝴蝶的路边——证明旧的错误不一定是永久性的)”可知,道路生态使人们为保护动物做出了一些改变;由此可推知,道路生态所带来的影响是深远的,故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第二段“Considering the outsize effects of roads, it’s perhaps surprising that they didn’t truly receive their scientific due until the late 20th century. In 1993, Richard Forman, a landscape ecologist, coined an English term: “road ecology,” defined loosely as the study of how “life changes for plants and animals with a road and traffic nearby.” As the 1990s wore on, road eco logy gained steam.(考虑到道路的巨大影响,它们直到20世纪末才真正得到应有的科学价值,这或许令人惊讶。1993年,景观生态学家理查德·福尔曼(Richard Forman)创造了一个英语术语:“道路生态学”,宽泛地定义为研究“附近有道路和交通的动植物的生活如何发生变化”随着20世纪90年代的过去,道路生态开始蓬勃发展)”以及第四度和第五段介绍了道路生态所带来的深远影响——使人们为保护动物做出了一些改变可知,文章主要介绍了道路生态使人们开始保护动物,避免动物发生交通事故,进而改变了自然世界,A项“道路是如何改变自然世界的”适合作文章标题,故选A。
D
In the days before the internet, critical thinking was the most important skill that informed citizens could have. But in the digital age, according to Anastasia Kozyreva, a German psychologist, an even more important skill is “critical ignoring.” With such an overabundance of information, we need to first decide what’s worth our attention and time, and what’s not.
The first strategy is self-nudging. This involves avoiding low-quality information so that we have more quality time for ourselves. It also involves the removal of distracting things from the environment around you. Of course, we need to stay informed of world events, so we can’t just ignore the internet altogether. When you do go into social media, Kozyreva recommends setting time limits, which prevents you from losing track of time as you click on one attractive link after another.
The next strategy is lateral (横向的) reading. Its purpose is to improve judgments about the reliability of information, and to protect you from false and misleading information. The strategy involves opening a new web page to find out more about the source of the information. Likewise, it’s also good to check the source of the information in an internet post. Headlines are often cheating. They’re designed to attract attention, not provide information. The main idea of the article may be completely contrary to the implication in the headline. A sensational claim may provide a link with a headline that seems to support it, but a careful reading of the original source shows it doesn’t.
We live in a digital age in which we’re overwhelmed with information, much of it of poor quality. Train our critical ignoring skills and we can get the benefits of the internet while we avoid falling victim to those who try to control our attention.
12. Which of the following saying can best describe “critical ignoring”?
A. Rob Peter to pay Paul. B. Make something out of nothing.
C. Birds of a feather flock together. D. Separate the sheep from the goats.
13. What does the author suggest for applying self-nudging strategy?
A. Improving study equipment. B. Managing our own time well.
C. Avoiding access to social media. D. Staying informed of what happened.
14. How can we get the reliable information of an article?
A. By focusing on headlines. B. By reading posts at random.
C. By searching for original sources. D. By consulting authorities for advice.
15. What is the purpose of writing the text?
A. To clarify a concept. B. To promote an app. C. To describe a scene. D. To make a proposal.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章围绕“批判性忽视”展开论述,列举了实现它的两个策略及其重要性。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“With such an overabundance of information, we need to first decide what’s worth our attention and time, and what’s not.”(面对如此丰富的信息,我们首先需要决定哪些值得我们花时间和精力,哪些不值得。)可知,“critical ignoring”指的是在大量的信息中我们要能分辨出有价值的信息和无用的信息。“Rob Peter to pay Paul”表示“拆东墙补西墙”,Make something out of nothing表示“无中生有”,Birds of a feather flock together表示“物以类聚,人以群分”,Separate the sheep from the goats表示“分辨好坏”,D项强调分辨能力,符合“critical ignoring”的描述。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“This involves avoiding low-quality information so that we have more quality time for ourselves.”(这包括避免低质量的信息,这样我们就有更多属于自己的高质量时间。)及最后一句“When you do go into social media, Kozyreva recommends setting time limits, which prevents you from losing track of time as you click on one attractive link after another.”(当你进入社交媒体时,Kozyreva建议设置时间限制,这样可以防止你在点击一个又一个吸引人的链接时忘记时间。)可知,作者认为在使用该策略时,要有良好的时间管理观念,避免浪费时间在无用的信息上,以便节约更多时间在高质量的信息处理上。故选B项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段前三句“The next strategy is lateral reading. Its purpose is to improve judgments about the reliability of information, and to protect you from false and misleading information. The strategy involves opening a new web page to find out more about the source of the information.”(下一个策略是横向阅读。其目的是提高对信息可靠性的判断,并保护您免受虚假和误导性信息的影响。该策略包括打开一个新的网页,以找到更多关于信息来源的信息。 )及最后一句“A sensational claim may provide a link with a headline that seems to support it, but a careful reading of the original source shows it doesn’t.”(一个耸人听闻的说法可能会提供一个似乎支持它的标题链接,但仔细阅读原始来源就会发现事实并非如此。)可知,横向阅读包括找到更多信息来源的消息,而阅读这些原始文本可以提供可靠的信息。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段第二句“But in the digital age, according to Anastasia Kozyreva, a German psychologist, an even more important skill is “critical ignoring.” ”(但德国心理学家Anastasia Kozyreva表示,在数字时代,一项更重要的技能是“批判性忽视”。);第二段第一句“The first strategy is self-nudging. ”(第一种策略是自我推动);第三段第一句“The next strategy is lateral reading.”(下一个策略是横向阅读。)及第四段最后一句“Train our critical ignoring skills and we can get the benefits of the internet while we avoid falling victim to those who try to control our attention.”(训练我们的批判性忽视技能,我们可以从互联网中获益,同时避免成为那些试图控制我们注意力的人的受害者。)可知,作者提出一个建议——批判性忽视,并列举了实现它的两个策略及其重要性。故选D项。
第二节(共5小题:每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
When you’re meeting someone new, concentrate your full attention on him. ___16___ Instead, look the person in the eye, shake hands, and listen carefully to his whole name as it’s said.
Ask
Speak the name back to the person in the form of a question. “Hi, I’m Katherine. I’m sorry, did you say Don or Dom?” Or “Robert, is it? Nice to meet you. I’m Katherine.” ___17___ Thus, by repeating the name this way, you’re increasing your chances of remembering it. To up the odds even more, try working in another question if possible: “Are you Stephen with a ‘ph’ or a ‘v’?” “Ty...Is that short for Tyler?”
Associate
___18___ If your new acquaintance goes by Bill, make quick mental associations with famous people named Bill, relatives named Bill, or any other kind of bill. Creating mental connections and supporting them with a statement said aloud further cements the name in your memory.
Employ
After repeating the name and then commenting on it, use it once or twice more in conversation. Do this either by addressing the person directly or referring to him while speaking to someone else (“Hey, Jim! Bill and I were just talking about that new Brad Pitt movie!”) ___19___ Be careful not to overuse the name, though, since that can come off as awkward or insincere.
Using a person’s name is a key to opening doors for you and to maintaining an initial rapport(和谐的关系) that could make this person a new friend for life or a lifelong business partner. ___20___
A. You can write down the name when it is necessary.
B. When the conversation ends, use the person’s name again.
C. The brain responds more actively when a question is answered.
D. Whenever you are introduced to someone, keep your mind on it.

Nice to meet you. I’m Katherine.” (以提问的方式把名字说给对方听。“嗨,我是Katherine,不好意思,你说的是Don还是Dom?”或者“是Robert吗?很高兴见到你,我是Katherine。”)”可知,空前通过举例的方式,具体介绍了如何通过问问题的方式将名字说给对方听,故C项“当一个问题得到回答时,大脑的反应会更加活跃”符合,此空提出原因,当问题得到回答时,大脑的反应更加活跃,从而记得更牢,故选C项。
【18题详解】
根据本段小标题“Associate (联想)”可知,本段主要介绍另一个方法——通过联想的方式来记住对方的名字。故F项“接下来,告诉自己一些关于这个名字的事情,以确保它能被记住。”符合,位于本段首句,且与上一段构成递进的关系,故选F项。
【19题详解】
根据本段小标题“Employ(运用)”可知,本段主要介绍通过运用的方法来记住名字。且根据空后“Be careful not to overuse the name, though, since that can come off as awkward or insincere.(但是要注意,不要过度使用这个名字,因为这可能会让人觉得尴尬或者不真诚。)”可知,空后是B项“对话结束时,再次使用这个名字。”的顺义承接,对话结束时,再次使用这个名词,但要注意的是,不要过度使用,以免引起不必要的尴尬,故选B项。
【20题详解】
根据空前“Using a person’s name is a key to opening doors for you and to maintaining an initial rapport(和谐的关系) that could make this person a new friend for life or a lifelong business partner.(使用一个人的名字是为你打开大门和保持最初融洽关系的关键,这可能会让这个人成为你的新朋友或者终生的商业伙伴。)”可知,最后一段对前文做出总结,说明了记住一个人的名字的好处,故G项“从今天开始,下定决心,记住人们的名字吧。”符合,放在文章末尾,呼吁大家行动起来,记住他人的名字,故选G项。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文本文主要介绍了中国大熊猫生态和生物学研究的先驱者,被称为“熊猫爸爸”的胡锦楚教授的生平事迹。
【36题详解】
考查介词。句意:中国大熊猫生态和生物学研究的先驱者,被称为“熊猫爸爸”的胡锦楚教授于周四晚在中国西南部四川省南充市去世,享年94岁。表达在多少岁用介词at,故填at。
【37题详解】
考查副词。句意:胡被国际公认为大熊猫生态和生物学研究的创始人,是中国研究大熊猫的第一人。修饰动词recognize应用副词,international意为“国际的”,是形容词,其副词形式是internationally,意为“国际上”,故填internationally。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:胡被国际公认为大熊猫生态和生物学研究的创始人,是中国研究大熊猫的第一人。动词study意为“研究”。名词有序数词修饰时,其定语应用不定式。结合空前的the first可知,本空填to study,作定语,修饰man。故填to study。
【39题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:1974年,四川林业部门任命他为珍稀动物资源调查小组的首席专家。根据句意可知,he和appoint(任命)是被动关系,且由时间状语in 1974可知,此处用一般过去时的被动语态,主语是he,be动词用was,appoint的过去分词是appointed。故填was appointed。
【40题详解】
考查名词。句意:当时,中国刚刚开始探索这种物种的分布、数量和繁殖,这项任命在这方面是一个重要的里程碑。根据句意和句子结构可知,空处应用distribute“分布”的名词形式distribution作宾语,是不可数名词。故填distribution。
【41题详解】
考查形容词。句意:由于大熊猫在野外很难看到,这项任务变得相当具有挑战性。分析句子结构可知,此处用形容词作宾语补足语,challenge意为“挑战”,是名词,其形容词是challenging,意为“具有挑战性的”。故填 challenging。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:但胡教授用一种创新的方法克服了所有的困难,这种方法至今仍在使用。分析句子结构可知,空处引导定语从句,先行词method“方法”,指物,且关系词在从句中作主语,应用which引导非限制性定语从句。故填which。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:调查结束后,中国决定进一步加强涉及该物种的生态研究。分析句子结构可知,本句谓语为decided,故本空为非谓语,且research和involve“涉及”是主动关系,应用现在分词involving作后置定语。故填involving。
【44题详解】
考查冠词。句意:1978年,胡在四川省卧龙国家级自然保护区领导了世界上第一个野外大熊猫生态观察站的建立。根据句意可知,此处特指“世界上第一个野外生态观察站的建立”,应用定冠词the,表示特指。故填the。
【45题详解】
考查代词。句意:近半个世纪以来,他一直致力中国西南师范大学的研究和教学。devote oneself to sth.致力于某事,固定短语,且句子主语为he,故填 himself,作宾语。故填himself。

第二节 读后续写(满分15分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In a house far from the city lived John and his mother. John’s only hobby was wandering in the nearby picturesque forest. In its center was a shiny clear lake with schools of fish dancing in it. Lovely animals such as deer or rabbits were playing around and cute birds were singing in trees. Fascinated by the beauty and liveliness of nature, he desired to become a great artist and present all the breath-taking scenes to the world.
John studied in the local primary school. Life was not easy for John and his mom after his father died. Knowing what hard work his mother did to make ends meet, John really didn’t want his mother to worry. His mother knew the significance of education in life but she was against his dream of becoming an artist. “The profession of artist can’t aid a person in meeting his daily expenses,” she would say. But as each day passed, John’s dream became more passionate.
Due to the living circumstances, even buying some new colors would be a luxury. John only used the worn drawing file and limited colors for his daily practice. Though lacking fine painting materials, he never gave up drawing. He spent a significant amount of time staying in the forest, secretly perfecting his craft. With continuous hard work and a distinct gift for art, he drew beautifully.
One day John read about a competition being held in the town, whose deadline was only two days away. He got the perfect opportunity to fulfill his desire but he was in a dilemma (两难境地) as for the competition he needed special paints and some brushes. He didn’t have the courage to ask his mother for money as he knew her prejudice against art.
That evening his mom returned from work and handed him a few paper notes, saying, “This is for your lunch at school next month.” The money was enough for his desired materials! John’s face lit up.
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。
Early the next morning, John secretly left home with the money.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A week later, a phone call came to John’s home.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Early the next morning, John secretly left home with the money. Hastily, he bought paper and pens for painting, and then dashed to the completion. After signing up for it, he was given the task. It was his time. He was deeply absorbed in his work, forgetting everything around him. After finishing his task, he went home, with birds singing for him. Every day, he looked forward to the result happily and anxiously, though he felt hungry. It seemed that the time stopped.
A week later, a phone call came to John’s home. Hearing what the man said, his mother felt puzzled, not knowing how his son had done it, because she knew it needed money. As soon as John arrived home, his mother told him the news, and waited for his explanation. Knowing the truth, her eyes welled up with tears. Hugging her son tightly, she apologized to him. But he was happy, not only because he had got the perfect opportunity to fulfill his desire, but also he was awarded a lot of money because of his work.
【解析】
【导语】本篇书面表达是读后续写。本文以人物为线索展开。 John喜欢画画,但是家里很穷。虽然母亲不支持他画画,但是他还是想尽办法坚持。有一天,他得知镇上正在举行绘画比赛,他很高兴,但是却没有钱买绘画用品。恰好这天妈妈给了他下个月的午餐费。这些钱足够买材料了。
【详解】1.段落续写
①由第一段句首内容“第二天一早,约翰带着钱偷偷地离开了家。”可知,第一段可以描写约翰离开家后的活动和他的心理活动。
②由第二段句首内容“一周后,一个电话打到了约翰的家。”可知,第二段可以描写约翰妈妈接到电话后的表情和心理活动,妈妈知道真相时的表情、动作和语言,最后升华文章的主旨:坚持会有回报。
2.续写线索:离家—买东西—参赛—回家—得知消息—解释—回报
3.词汇激活

①猛冲:dash/ dart/ leap
②全神贯注于:be absorbed in/ concentrate on
③期盼:look forward to/long for
