Grandfather and Father, seated at the table, are playing chess.) Grandfather: And…I win! (Son enters room.) Father: Not again! Oh look, here comes my boy. How are you, son? Son: (nervously approaching the table) Erm… Dad, can we talk? Father: Sure! You know you can always turn to your dad for a chat. Son: OK. Here it is. I’ve decided not to go to university. I want to focus on my band and have a career in music when I leave school. Father: (raising his voice in surprise) You can’t be serious! What about your future career as a lawyer?! Son: I knew you’d say that. You just assume I want to be a lawyer, but that’s only because you are a lawyer. Father: What’s wrong with being a lawyer? Lawyers help people and are respected by others. Son: Yes, but I’m not interested in law. I want to work in a studio, not a court. Grandfather: (looking at Father) Calm down. OK? Father: (ignoring Grandfather’s words) Stop daydreaming! Playing in a band is not a job. Son: Of course it is! The music industry is developing fast now. Making music is a job. Grandfather: (stepping between Father and Son and raising his voice) Hey! I told you to calm down, both of you! Father: But I told him to study something useful at university! Grandfather: (laughing) Easy, son! I remember when you were his age, you said that you wanted to be a professional football player. Father: And you wanted me to be an engineer!

Your son is proud of you, too. Son: Of course I am, but I have different talents. Grandfather: (turning to Son) Why don’t you also take my advice and think carefully before jumping in with both feet? Son: Well, I could try… Grandfather: If you go to university and play music at the same time, you will have two choices for your future. And I’m sure playing in a band will help you make lots of new friends at university. Father: Yes, lots of new lawyer friends! Son: (with a sigh) Dad… (Curtain) 51.

The study tested declarative memory (陈述性记忆) in 704 older adults (58-98 years of age). Declarative memory refers to our ability to remember events, facts and words, such as where you put your keys or the name of that new neighbour. The researchers found that their memory performance became worse with aging. However, more years of early-life education countered these losses, especially in women. For example, the declarative memory abilities of an 80-year-old woman with a bachelor’s degree (学士学位) would be as good as those of a 60-year-old woman with a high school education. So, four extra years of education make up for the memory losses from 20 years of aging. “Simply said, learning brings about learning,” says the study’s senior researcher, Michael Ullman. “Since learning new information in declarative memory is easier if it is connected with knowledge we already have, more knowledge from more education should result in better memory abilities, even years later.” adds the study’s lead author, Jana Reifegerste. “Evidence suggests that girls often have better declarative memory than boys, so education may lead to greater knowledge gains in girls,” says Ullman. “Education may bring advantages to memory abilities in women, even years later in old age.” “These findings may be important, especially considering the rapidly aging population,” Reifegerste says. “The results argue for further efforts to increase chances of receiving education.” “Education has also been found to slow down the beginning of Alzheimer’s disease.” Ullman says. “We believe that our findings may explain why this happens.” 54. The underlined “countered” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________. A. cancel B. reduce C. produce D. change 55. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. More education. B. Declarative memory. C. New information. D. Better memory ability. 56. The research findings may help ________. A. slow down the process of aging B. push for the development of education C. fight for the equal rights of women’s education D. make progress in the study of Alzheimer disease 57. The passage mainly talks about that ________. A. early-life education helps prevent memory loss in old age B. women should try to get a bachelor’s degree C. learning often helps improve old adults’ memory D. declarative memory abilities fail with aging 【答案】54. B 55. C 56. D 57. A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了一项研究，表明教育能够保护老年人，尤其是女性，防止记忆力衰退。文中详细描述了研究过程，以及教育对延缓衰老和疾病发生的益处。 【54题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“However, more years of early-life education countered these losses, especially in women.”可知，更多的早期教育年限主要起到减少记忆力下降的作用，所以“countered”在这里的意思是“减少”，与选项B“reduce”同义。故选B。 【55题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Since learning new information in declarative memory is easier if it is connected with knowledge we already have,”可知，如果将陈述性记忆中的新信息与我们已有的知识联系起来，学习新信息会更容易，因此“it”指代新信息。故选C。 【56题详解】 细节理解题。根据“‘Education has also been found to slow down the beginning of Alzheimer’s disease.’ Ullman says. ‘We believe that our findings may explain why this happens.’”可知，研究结果发现教育可以减缓阿尔茨海默病的发生。故选D。 【57题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章围绕早期教育与记忆力衰退展开，强调早期教育在延缓老年记忆力衰退中的重要性。故选A。 第II卷 (主观题 共50分) 五、词汇运用（本大题共8小题，每小题1份，共8分） (A) 根据句意和汉语注释，写出单词的正确形式。 58. Does it really ________ (要紧) what others think of you? 【答案】matter 【解析】 【详解】句意：别人怎么看你真的要紧吗？matter“要紧”，Does后动词用原形。故填matter。 59.

The man failed in the driving test because of his ________ (粗心). 【答案】carelessness 【解析】 【详解】句意：由于粗心大意，这个人没有通过驾驶考试。句中“his”为形容词性物主代词，应用名词，carelessness“粗心”，名词。故填carelessness。 61. My father seems kind but he is very __________ (严格的) with us about table manners. 【答案】strict 【解析】 【详解】句意：我父亲看起来很和蔼，但他对我们的餐桌礼仪要求很严格。strict“严格的”，be strict with sb.“对某人严格”，形容词短语。故填strict。 (B) 根据句意，写出括号内所给单词的适当形式。 62. His ________ (speak) about how to protect the environment impress us a lot. 【答案】speeches 【解析】 【分析】 【详解】句意：他关于如何保护环境的演讲给我们留下了深刻的印象。设空处前面有形容词性物主代词his修饰，因此这里应填入一个名词；结合“about how to protect the environment impress”，可知是关于如何保护环境的演讲，所以speech“演讲”，可数名词，符合题意。句子时态是一般现在时，由谓语动词impress是原形，可知此处要用speech的复数形式speeches，故填speeches。 63. Working as a volunteer in that area was a very ___________ experience for me. (value) 【答案】valuable 【解析】 【详解】句意：在那个地区做志愿者对我来说是一次非常宝贵的经历。根据“a very...experience”可知，空处应填形容词。value名词，“价值”，valuable形容词，“宝贵的”。故填valuable。 64. Some people don’t like durian ________ (simple) because of its smell. 【答案】simply 【解析】 【详解】句意：有些人不喜欢榴莲仅仅是因为它的味道。根据“Some people don’t like durian…(simple) because of its smell.”可知，此处作状语，应该用simple的副词形式simply“仅仅”。故填simply。 65.

It is said that a new school ________ (build) near ours next year. 【答案】will be built 【解析】 【详解】句意：据说，明年在我们学校的附近将建一所新学校。根据“next year”可知，句子时态用一般将来时，且主语a new school与谓语build之间是动宾关系，因此用一般将来时的被动语态will be done。故填will be built。 69. —You look tired and sleepy with dark circles under eyes. What’s wrong with you? —I stayed up late last night. I ________ (write) my report from 9 o’clock to midnight. 【答案】was writing 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你看起来又累又困，眼睛下面有黑眼圈。你怎么了？——我昨晚熬夜了。我从9点到午夜一直在写报告。根据“last night”和“from 9 o’clock to midnight”可知，此处表示在过去某段时间内正在进行的动作，故用过去进行时，主语为“I”，应填was writing。故填was writing。 70. I’m not sure if my plan ________ (work) at tomorrow’s meeting. 【答案】will work##is going to work 【解析】 【详解】句意：我不确定我的计划在明天的会议上是否有效。根据“tomorrow’ s meeting”可知用一般将来时，结构为will + 动词原形/be going to + 动词原形；又根据所给词work的主语为plan，它是第三人称单数，所以be动词用is，所以答案为will work/is going to work。故填will work/is going to work。 71. — Rose, you ________ (chat) on WeChat again! Have you finished all your homework? — Of course, Mum. I finished it just now. 【答案】are chatting 【解析】 【详解】句意：——Rose你又在微信聊天了！你做完所有的家庭作业了吗？——当然，妈妈。我刚刚完成它。根据语境可知，这里表示的是一个正在进行的动作，应用现在进行时，其结构为be+动词现在分词；主语是you，be动词用are，chat的现在分词是chatting。故填are chatting。 72. —How can you treat me like that! —I’m sorry I hurt your feeling the other day, but I promise I ________________ (not mean) to. 【答案】didn’t mean 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你怎么能这样对待我！——很抱歉那天我伤害了你的感情，但我保证我不是故意的。根据“the other day”可知，伤害感情的事情发生在过去，时态应用一般过去时，此处为否定句，应填didn’t mean。故填didn’t mean。 73.

We often face a lot of confusion (困惑) at a young age. There are some of the teenage problems which can arise at every stage of life and those we cannot share with anyone except few people. Let’s discuss these teenage problems. Uncertainty About Future The problem which is most common among all the teenagers is to choose a right career after school. Youngsters often find it very hard to choose the right career path, so the parents and the teachers should advise them on the right career field. Parents can also choose to take their children to experts for suggestions and the counselors will advise them on the field according to their likes. Social Media Social media networking is most commonly seen among young people. It is like an addiction (上瘾) of youngsters to spend long hours on laptops and smartphones using social media sites. These sites also post some improper content which do harm to youngsters. The parents should check the activities of their children on social media sites often and suggest the ways to use them less often. Academic Problems Many students face problems during schoolwork and exams in schools and colleges. The parents look after the studies of their children. They should sit along with them before exams and help them work out their problems. If your children go to the coaching class then you should contact the teacher and ask him about the progress of your child in studies. Eating Disorders The teenagers especially girls care more about their eating habits than guys. Because of the speedy life pattern and heavy studies and workloads, teenagers like junk food better which is quick to cook. It gives rise to many health problems such as constipation (便秘), indigestion (消化不良), food poisoning (食物中毒), and many other disorders. Considering children’s food habits, parents could write down the names of proper food and prepare it, which will be of great help to their grown-up children. Teenage problems Situations Solutions Uncertainty About The Future It’s hard for youngsters to find their right careers. Asking for counseling (咨询服务) is also a good choice. ___74___ youngsters with good advice according to their likes. Social Media It takes youngsters long hours to surf on social media sites. Some improper content is ___75___ to youngsters. Check what youngsters do on social media sites often. Reduce the time ___76___ on social media sites. Academic Problems Many students have difficulty in schoolwork and exams. Stay with them and help them with their problems. Contact the teacher and ask him about the progress of your child in studies. Eating Disorders Teenage girls pay more ___77___ to eating habits. Teenagers prefer junk food. Fast foods make teenagers put on weight and it is more ___78___ for them to get health problems. Make a list of healthy food and prepare it according to children’s food habits. 【答案】74. Provide 75. harmful 76. spent##used 77. attention 78. likely##possible 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了青少年存在的一些问题以及解决方案。 【74题详解】 根据“the counselors will advise them on the field according to their likes”可知，顾问们会根据孩子们的喜好建议他们如何选择职业，可推测此处是根据他们的喜好为年轻人提供好的建议，provide sb with advice表示“为某人提供建议”，句子为祈使句肯定形式，动词用原形，位于句首，首字母需大写。故填Provide。 【75题详解】 根据“These sites also post some improper content which do harm to youngsters.”可知，这些网站还发布了一些对青少年有害的不当内容，此处考查be harmful to“对……有害的”。故填harmful。 【76题详解】 根据“suggest the ways to use them less often”可知，提出减少使用社交媒体网站的方法，them指代社交媒体网站，可推测此处是减少在社交媒体网站上使用/花费的时间，空处需填过去分词作定语，修饰the time，动词过去分词spent“花费”或used“使用”均符合语境。故填spent/used。 【77题详解】 根据“The teenagers especially girls care more about their eating habits than guys.” 可知，青少年中的女孩比男孩更关心自己的饮食习惯，可推测此处是青少年女孩更加注意饮食习惯，pay more attention to doing sth表示“更加注意做某事”，名词attention“留心，注意”符合语境。故填attention。 【78题详解】 根据“It gives rise to many health problems”可知，它会引起许多健康问题，可推测此处是出现健康问题对他们来说是比较可能的，them指代teenagers，it的特殊句式“it is adj. for sb. to do sth.表示“做某事对某人来说是……的”，空处需填形容词，形容词possible和likely均表示“可能的”。故填possible/likely。 八、完成句子 （本大题共6小题，每小题1.5分，共9分） 按所给的汉语，用英语完成下列句子。 79. 《航拍中国》这部纪录片非常值得一看。 The documentary Aerial China ______________. 【答案】is well worth watching 【解析】 【详解】非常值得做某事：be well worth doing sth.；看：watch；句子用一般现在时，主语是名词单数，be动词用is。故填is well worth watching。 80. 如果有学生缺课，李老师会辅导他们功课。 Miss Li will help the students with their lessons if they ______________. 【答案】are absent from school 【解析】 【详解】根据题干可知，空处缺少“缺课”，固定短语为be absent from school，此处为if引导的条件状语从句，时态遵循“主将从现”原则，从句时态为一般现在时，主语为they，be动词应用are。故填are absent from school。 81. 这位工程师除了接受新的挑战别无他法。 This engineer _______________________ new challenges. 【答案】had no choice but to take on##has no choice but to take on 【解析】 【详解】结合句意可知，空格处表示“除了接受……别无他法”。“除了做某事别无他法”have no choice but to do sth.；“接受”take on。结合语境可知，这里可以用一般过去时，也可以用一般现在时，根据“This engineer”可知，句子主语为第三人称单数，所以当时态为一般现在时时，谓语动词have应用其三单形式has；若句子时态为一般过去时，则谓语动词要用have的过去式had。故填had/has no choice but to take on。 82. 他一听到这个消息就改变了注意。 He ______________ he heard the news. 【答案】changed his mind as soon as##changed his ideas as soon as 【解析】 【详解】根据中英文对照可知，考查“一……就……”引导的时间状语从句和“改变了主意”的英文表达。as soon as引导的时间状语从句，表示“一……就……”，主句用一般过去时，从句也用一般过去时，所以主句动词填过去式形式；change his mind/ideas“改变了主意”，change的过去式为changed。故填changed his mind/ideas as soon as。 83. 令他惊讶的是，许多和他同龄的知名演员也参加了这一配角的选拔。 To his surprise, many well-known actors ______________ the supporting role. 【答案】of his age tried out for 【解析】 【详解】根据中英文对照可知，空处缺“和他同龄的”及“参加……的选拔”的英文表达。of one’s age“与某人同龄”，此处是his；try out for“参加……的选拔”，句中时态为一般过去时，所以用tried out for。故填of his age tried out for。 84. 没有人确切地知道这对夫妻离开家多久了，但他们一直很想回来。 Nobody knows ______________, but they want to come back very much. 【答案】exactly how long the couple have been away from home 【解析】 【详解】根据中英文对照可知，空处缺“确切地”及“这对夫妻离开家多久了”的英文表达。exactly“确切地”，修饰动词用副词形式；how long“多久”，表示动作的延续性，现在完成时的标志词；the couple“这对夫妻”；have been away from home“离开家了”，强调状态的持续；此处为宾语从句，用陈述句语序。故填exactly how long the couple have been away from home。 九、书面表达（本大题共20分） 85. 假如你是学校网站英语专栏的编辑Sigmund Friend，李雷同学给你写了一封电子邮件。请你根据邮件内容，用英语给他回一封电子邮件。 Dear Mr. Friend, My name is Li Lei.

But I have to say, we had a great time. I did a lot of traveling, and I think it’s one of the most amazing places. We did a lot in the last two weeks. We went hiking and saw some of the ancient places. We also saw some beautiful birds. There were lots of things we didn’t have time to do. I always want to go to the rainforest. I hope we can get there one day. Camping was really fun. We drove to Ipala Volcano. It was worth the trip, though. There’s a really pretty lake that we hiked around. It rained really hard one night, and everything outside the tent got wet, but at least the tent was fine. Luckily, the weather got better. Another place we found had a hot waterfall (瀑布). Standing under it was just like taking a hot shower! *Click here for more information from Jake. 45. What did Jake do during the trip? ① Hiked around the lake. ② Saw beautiful birds. ③ Went camping. ④Went to the rainforest. A. ①②④ B. ②③④ C. ①③④ D. ①②③ 46. What does Jake think of his trip? A. Tiring.

B An INTERESTING experiment It takes a little skill to do this experiment, but the result is truly SURPRISING. What do you need? Several rubber balloons Wooden skewer (木签) Vegetable oil Paper towel Step l Blow up a balloon, let some of the air out of it, and tie it closed. Step 2 Rub some oil on skewer with paper towel. Step 3 Gentle twist (搓捻) and push skewer into end of balloon opposite the knot. If balloon pops (爆 炸), go back to Step 1. Step 4 When skewer is in balloon, slowly twist and push it out of balloon near knot. What will happen? 1 The balloon does not pop, even though it has a skewer in it. Why won’t it pop? Rubber is made out of long chains of molecules (分子). The skewer pushes these molecules aside. The molecules mix with the oil and they stick together tightly. The oil on the skewer seals the hole and air cannot get out. 48. Which is the most suitable word for 1 ? A. Topic B. Reason C. Problem D. Result 49. What’s the proper meaning of the underlined word “seals”? A. 润滑 B. 密封 C. 点燃 D. 腐蚀 50. What can we infer from the passage? A. It’s easy to push a skewer into and out of a balloon. B. It’s hard for the air to get out of the hole as molecules and oil stick together. C. There’s no need for you to use the oil while doing the experiment. D. You’d better blow as much air as possible into a balloon. C (The living room. Friday night. A table and two chairs at front centre. Grandfather and Father, seated at the table, are playing chess.) Grandfather: And…I win! (Son enters room.) Father: Not again! Oh look, here comes my boy. How are you, son? Son: (nervously approaching the table) Erm… Dad, can we talk? Father: Sure! You know you can always turn to your dad for a chat. Son: OK. Here it is. I’ve decided not to go to university. I want to focus on my band and have a career in music when I leave school. Father: (raising his voice in surprise) You can’t be serious! What about your future career as a lawyer?! Son: I knew you’d say that. You just assume I want to be a lawyer, but that’s only because you are a lawyer. Father: What’s wrong with being a lawyer? Lawyers help people and are respected by others. Son: Yes, but I’m not interested in law. I want to work in a studio, not a court. Grandfather: (looking at Father) Calm down. OK? Father: (ignoring Grandfather’s words) Stop daydreaming! Playing in a band is not a job. Son: Of course it is! The music industry is developing fast now. Making music is a job. Grandfather: (stepping between Father and Son and raising his voice) Hey! I told you to calm down, both of you! Father: But I told him to study something useful at university! Grandfather: (laughing) Easy, son! I remember when you were his age, you said that you wanted to be a professional football player. Father: And you wanted me to be an engineer! Grandfather: I just wanted you to be happy, and an engineer — a happy engineer. Grandfather: Yes, and you have found the career that suits your talents. I’m so proud of you. Your son is proud of you, too. Son: Of course I am, but I have different talents. Grandfather: (turning to Son) Why don’t you also take my advice and think carefully before jumping in with both feet? Son: Well, I could try… Grandfather: If you go to university and play music at the same time, you will have two choices for your future. And I’m sure playing in a band will help you make lots of new friends at university. Father: Yes, lots of new lawyer friends! Son: (with a sigh) Dad… (Curtain) 51.

D Education appears to protect older adults especially women, against memory loss, according to a study by researchers in Georgetown University Medical Centre. The study tested declarative memory (陈述性记忆) in 704 older adults (58-98 years of age). Declarative memory refers to our ability to remember events, facts and words, such as where you put your keys or the name of that new neighbour. The researchers found that their memory performance became worse with aging. However, more years of early-life education countered these losses, especially in women. For example, the declarative memory abilities of an 80-year-old woman with a bachelor’s degree (学士学位) would be as good as those of a 60-year-old woman with a high school education. So, four extra years of education make up for the memory losses from 20 years of aging. “Simply said, learning brings about learning,” says the study’s senior researcher, Michael Ullman. “Since learning new information in declarative memory is easier if it is connected with knowledge we already have, more knowledge from more education should result in better memory abilities, even years later.” adds the study’s lead author, Jana Reifegerste. “Evidence suggests that girls often have better declarative memory than boys, so education may lead to greater knowledge gains in girls,” says Ullman. “Education may bring advantages to memory abilities in women, even years later in old age.” “These findings may be important, especially considering the rapidly aging population,” Reifegerste says. “The results argue for further efforts to increase chances of receiving education.” “Education has also been found to slow down the beginning of Alzheimer’s disease.” Ullman says. “We believe that our findings may explain why this happens.” 54. The underlined “countered” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________. A. cancel B. reduce C. produce D. change 55 What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. More education. B. Declarative memory. C. New information. D. Better memory ability. 56. The research findings may help ________. A. slow down the process of aging B. push for the development of education C. fight for the equal rights of women’s education D. make progress in the study of Alzheimer disease 57. The passage mainly talks about that ________. A. early-life education helps prevent memory loss in old age B. women should try to get a bachelor’s degree C. learning often helps improve old adults’ memory D. declarative memory abilities fail with aging 第II卷 (主观题 共50分) 五、词汇运用（本大题共8小题，每小题1份，共8分） (A) 根据句意和汉语注释，写出单词的正确形式。 58.

We often face a lot of confusion (困惑) at a young age. There are some of the teenage problems which can arise at every stage of life and those we cannot share with anyone except few people. Let’s discuss these teenage problems. Uncertainty About Future The problem which is most common among all the teenagers is to choose a right career after school. Youngsters often find it very hard to choose the right career path, so the parents and the teachers should advise them on the right career field. Parents can also choose to take their children to experts for suggestions and the counselors will advise them on the field according to their likes. Social Media Social media networking is most commonly seen among young people. It is like an addiction (上瘾) of youngsters to spend long hours on laptops and smartphones using social media sites. These sites also post some improper content which do harm to youngsters. The parents should check the activities of their children on social media sites often and suggest the ways to use them less often. Academic Problems Many students face problems during schoolwork and exams in schools and colleges. The parents look after the studies of their children. They should sit along with them before exams and help them work out their problems. If your children go to the coaching class then you should contact the teacher and ask him about the progress of your child in studies. Eating Disorders The teenagers especially girls care more about their eating habits than guys. Because of the speedy life pattern and heavy studies and workloads, teenagers like junk food better which is quick to cook. It gives rise to many health problems such as constipation (便秘), indigestion (消化不良), food poisoning (食物中毒), and many other disorders. Considering children’s food habits, parents could write down the names of proper food and prepare it, which will be of great help to their grown-up children. Teenage problems Situations Solutions Uncertainty About The Future It’s hard for youngsters to find their right careers.
