B I was 11 years old when I asked my mom for piano lessons in 2010. We were in the economic crisis. She said a polite “no”. That didn’t stop me. I searched the measurements of a keyboard, drew the keys on a piece of paper and stuck it on my desk. I would click notes on an online keyboard and “play” them back on my paper one—keeping the sound they made on the computer in my head. I spent six months playing without touching a real piano. Once my mom saw that I was serious, she borrowed money and bought me 10 lessons. I still remember the first one. I was struck by how real the sound of the piano was. I sat my grade one after eight lessons. Once I started secondary school, we couldn’t afford lessons again. I passed grade three, and then grade five, practicing only on my piece of paper. One evening, when I was about 13, my mom said she had a surprise for me; it was an electronic keyboard, bought with more borrowed money. It was the first time I’d played for her. She was in shock. My school didn’t offer music A-level. I found the Purcell School for young musicians. But I had to pass a difficult test. Some of the questions involved an evaluation of the composer or when some piece was written. I felt overwhelmed. To my amazement, I was offered a place. At the Purcell School. I spent two years working as hard as I could, performed to raise money and saved enough to buy my first piano. When I left the Purcell School, I was awarded the senior piano prize and senior academic music prize. I am now at the Guildhall School in London. I feel proud—it’s been 10 years since I drew my paper piano, and I’m at one of the world’s leading music schools. The irony is that I continue to do a lot of my practice away from the piano--what we call mental practice. The paper piano helped arouse my curiosity about how music works and the building blocks that form the pieces. 24. Why did the author’s mom buy him lessons at last? A. She was shocked by his first performance. B. She had no doubt about his talent for piano. C. She realized he meant what he said. D. She suddenly made a fortune. 25. Which of the following can best describe the author? A. Honest. B. Determined C. Humorous D. Optimistic 26. What did the underlined word “irony” in the last paragraph show? A. The author felt surprised. B. The author felt proud. C. The author felt satisfied D. The author felt disappointed. 27. What’s the author’s main purpose of writing this article? A. To introduce the method of mental practice. B. To share how he convinced his mom to buy a piano. C. To describe how costly it is to learn an instrument. D. To encourage people to stick to their dreams. C After years of observing human nature, I have decided that two qualities make the difference between men of great achievement and men of average performance: curiosity and discontent. I have never known an outstanding man who lacked either. And I have never known an average man who had both. The two belong together. Together, these deep human urges (驱策力) count for much more than ambition. Galileo was not merely ambitious when he dropped objects of varying weights from the Leaning Tower at Pisa and timed their fall to the ground. Like Galileo, all the great names in history were curious and asked in discontent, "Why? Why? Why? " Fortunately, curiosity and discontent don't have to be learned. We are born with them and need only recapture them. ＂The great man, "said Mencius (孟子)，is he who does not lose his child's heart. "Yet most of us do lose it. We stop asking questions. We stop challenging custom. We just follow the crowd.  And the crowd desires only the calm and restful average. It encourages us to occupy our own little corner, to avoid foolish leaps into the dark, to be satisfied. Most of us meet new people, and new ideas, with hesitation. But once having met and liked them, we think how terrible it would have been, had we missed the chance. We will probably have to force ourselves to waken our curiosity and discontent and keep them awake. How should you start so as not to become discouraged? I think of one friend who couldn't arrange flowers to satisfy herself. She was curious about how the experts did it. Now she is one of the experts, writing books on flower arrangement. One way to begin is to answer your own excuses. You haven't any special ability? Most people don't; there are only a few geniuses. You haven't any time? That's good, because it's always the people with no time who get things done. Harriet Stowe, mother of six, wrote parts of Uncle Tom's Cabin while cooking. You're too old? Remember that Thomas Costain was 57 when he published his first novel, and that Grandma Moses showed her first pictures when she was 78. However you start, remember there is no better time to start than right now, for you'll never be more alive than you are at this moment. 28．In writing Paragraph 1, the author aims to A．propose a definition B．make a comparison C．reach a conclusion D．present an argument 29．What does the example of Galileo tell us? A．Trial and error leads to the finding of truth. B．Scientists tend to be curious and ambitious. C．Creativity results from challenging authority. D．Greatness comes from a lasting desire to explore. 30．What can we learn from Paragraphs 6 and 7? A．Gaining success helps you become an expert. B．The genius tends to get things done creatively. C．Lack of talent and time is no reason for taking no action. D．You should remain modest when approaching perfection. 31．What could be the best title of the passage? A．Curious Minds Never Feel Contented. B．Reflections on Human Nature. C．The keys to Achievement. D．Never too Late to Learn. D Technology use seems to be the new wave of addiction hitting people of all ages. Its extreme use can be compared to the use of drugs, which is called Plug-in Heroin. The next time you’re in a crowded public place, look at the people around you. It’s hard to find someone who isn’t glued to the tiny screen, fingers moving at lightning speeds, texting their friends, emailing co-workers or listening to music. It may seem ridiculous that someone is that addicted to such a small object. I’ve seen people who seem to be at their wits’ end (不知所措) if their phone or iPad has been taken away, lost or left at home. Some people may ask, “What’s wrong with technology use? It’s a way for people to communicate.” While this is true, the overuse of technology isn’t always appropriate in certain settings. Schools are becoming stricter about the use of cell phones, iPads and other electronics in classrooms. Various workplaces have signs hanging on their walls warning employees that“Cell phone use is not permitted ”or “Cell phones are forbidden.” Electronics may be a way for people to communicate and stay in touch with each other, but the disadvantages may outweigh the benefits. People are losing the ability to hold face-to-face conversations with others. However, it’s hard to avoid electronics in this day and age because almost everything is turning into an electronic format. Books, originally meant for paper design, are now being transferred (转存) to electronic forms. Photo albums, and even yearbooks, can now be viewed via the internet. With this growing trend, future generations are bound to become even more addicted to technology. Is there a cure for electronic addiction? Simply turning electronics off for an hour or two a day may help to an extent, but it will not completely rid electronic addiction. There only seems to be one cure left, and it may be the hardest: self control. 32．What is Plug-in Heroin? A．The growing popularity of electronics. B．The serious consequences of technology use. C．The future possibility of technology development. D．The unreasonable dependence on electronics. 33．The second paragraph is intended to ________. A．prove electronics are harmful to people B．show people’s addiction to electronics C．persuade people to quit electronics D．tell people it is ridiculous to use electronics 34．According to the passage, which of the following is true? A．Cell phones can be used in all kinds of work situations. B．Cell phones and iPads can be freely applied in schools. C．Overuse of electronic products should be limited. D．There’s nothing wrong with using technology, because it's the only way people communicate. 35．In the author's opinion, what is the best way to cure electronic addiction? A．Turn off the electronics for an hour or two. B．Cell phones are forbidden in the workplaces. C．Be stricter about the use of cell phones, iPads and other electronics in classrooms. D．Learn to control yourself. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，共12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Nowadays Tai Chi has already spread throughout the world and is practiced by millions of people. It’s a major division(分支) of Chinese martial art(武术). 36 It involves(涉及) slow movements with a focus on breathing and on what your body is doing in that moment. There are four reasons to try Tai Chi. ▲It’s easy on the body. Tai chi is suitable for all ages and levels of fitness. It is low-impact, meaning there is minimal(最小的) risk of damage to your joints(关节). 37 It’s an exercise that can be easily adapted for less able people, including those in wheelchairs. ▲Falls could be prevented. A 2019 review of studies suggested that Tai Chi might reduce the risk of falls in older people. 38 It also improves flexibility and spatial awareness. ▲ 39 Tai Chi may boost brain power. Studies have found that regular Tai Chi can improve cognitive functioning in older people with dementia(痴呆)and without. Given that it’s considered safe and suitable for the elderly, this is a definite win. It also has the feel-good factor. A reduction in stress and anxiety, and increased confidence, are other mental health benefits of Tai Chi, according to research, though further research is needed. ▲You can do it at home. Classes are useful not just for teaching the movements but also for meeting like-minded people. 40 You’re bound to find one that matches your fitness level and exercise preferences. A. It has mental benefits. B. You can go at your own pace. C. It does good to both body and mind. D. But there are videos available online too. E. Meanwhile, it relaxed muscles and there is no stretching or straining(拉伸). F. Tai Chi is so slow and smooth, but it can improve both upper-body and lower-body strength. G. The emphasis is on balance, with movements helping strengthen muscles required for stability. 第三部分 语言运用（共三节，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四个选项（A、B、C和D)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。 Jennifer Webb-McRae always knew what she wanted to be when she grew up.

Since his childhood, Jeffrey has been homeless. His mother, Rebecca, was abandoned by her husband, and they were forced to live in the streets without a way to cover living expenses and rent. Soon afterward, his mom fell ill and passed away. As much as he tried, Jeffrey couldn’t find a permanent job. Jeffrey only had a few clothes, blankets, and shoes, which he would push around in a rusty trolley. With no family or friends, he relied on his local shelter and soup kitchen. He would often ask the workers at a local burger place for their leftovers to survive. One day, as Jeffrey was looking through the trash can outside the burger shop, he noticed a black object near the surface. He picked it up and realized it was a wallet. When he looked inside, he could recognize the I.D．picture. The wallet belonged to Alan, a small business owner who stayed a few blocks away. He remembered asking Alan for money a few weeks ago and saying no. Alan said that he was seriously ill and saved every penny for his treatment to get better. Alan’s cards, driver’s license, and cash were still inside the wallet, meaning he’d lost it by mistake. There was also a check for $3000 inside the wallet. “This is life-changing money. I could get some fresh clothes, maybe rent a small apartment and finally get a job,” Jeffrey mumbled to himself. Jeffrey knew he couldn’t live with the guilt of knowing a man would suffer if he took the money for himself. Even though he initially felt that the check may have been a gift from God, he quickly realized that it was more of a test. 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。 Jeffrey walked a few blocks to Alan’s office. _________________________________________________________________________ Alan promised to reward Jeffrey for his kindness once he recovered. __________________________________________________________________________ 第 10 页 共 10 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
