B One day in Bronx,a first-grade teacher sat down in a barbershop for a trim and one of his students walked in,sat down and started looking antsy.He thought to himself that it was a perfect opportunity to practice reading,a thought that changed Alvin Irby's life,and he's filling many barbershops around the US with free books to decrease childhood illiteracy ()His non-profit,Barbershop Books,has delivered 50,000 free books to more than 200 barbershops in major black neighborhoods in 24 states,revealing the fact that in Black American communities,barbershops are like community centers where people get together naturally. Irby's program may seem straightforward,but there's a lot of thought behind it.He puts a colorful.kid-sized bookshelf in each shop,making it inviting to children.The books displayed are all carefully chosen based on recommendations from his target audience.The bookshelves display the covers of the books,helping kids who may be interested in reading seize the opportunity for themselves,whether they're in the barber's chair or they're waiting on their dad or friend.And,Irby involves the barbers in his mission-training them to engage kids about reading."We want them to encourage kids to use the reading spaces,"he said."Then they can talk to them about how they like reading,how funny a book was,or tell them about another book another kid was reading." Denny Moe was the first barber to work with Irby.Moe had previously offered video games at his Harlem. shop,to bring in extra income,but he was willing to abandon that to help the community."I decided to pay it forward by getting rid of the video games,putting books in here,just to get the kids'minds going"he said."I want to make an impact..” "These books,I would say,have power,"8-year-old boy Chance said.That's what keeps Irby motivated."I'm just excited that we get to create a safe space for boys to do something that's really life changing,"he said."That's what I really believe reading is.It unlocks potential." 24.Why is Irby's program appealing to children? A.It stimulates children's efforts. B.It guarantees children's security. 3 C.It responds to children's requests. D.It caters to children's preferences. 25.What made Denny Moe the first barber to cooperate with Irby? A.His desire to make a big fortune. B.His ambition to make a difference.

B.To stress great importance of books. C.To show human unlimited potential. D.To urge children to read more books. 27.What is the real meaning of Irby's act of kindness? A.Reading can change children's life. B.Hairdressers can earn more money. C.Children are completely independent. D.Barbershops are good gathering places. C Dolphins and fishennen in Laguna,Brazil,like the same food:Mullets ()But rather than compete,the two have formed an alliance ()Common bottlenose dolphins will chase schools of mullets toward shore, where a row of fishermen stand waist-deep in the water,nets in hand.The fishermen can't see the fish through the murky water,so instead,they watch the dolphins.When the marine mammals slap their heads or tails against the water,they cue (the fishermen to cast their nets,which in turn breaks up the schools and makes individual fish easier for the dolphins to catch. Now,a new study suggests the dolphins are willing partners in this cooperation.They pay close attention to the humans,timing their actions to maximize their catch.The animals may even be guiding the people,says Simon Ingram,a marine biologist.He says,"It's almost as if the dolphins are training the humans."Fishers must understand the dolphins'cues,learning them over time,Cantor,a behavioral ecologist at the University of Cambridge,says."Ihe dolphins are almost like teachers." This fishing partnership has passed down through the generations,lasting for more than a century.According to a study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences,researchers suggest dolphins that hunt with humans have increased survival rates over those that don't.These cooperative dolphins are more likely to stay near the shore,reducing their chance ot entanglement (in illegal fishing gear.Fishers were also more successful when they worked with the dolphins.When dolphins were present,the fishers were 17 times more likely to catch fish and netted nearly 4 times more mullets when they timed their casting with the dolphins'signals.This is really incredible cooperative behavior. Other populations of dolphins have also been known to cooperate with human fishers,herding fish toward snore or into nets off eastern Australia,Mauritania,and Southeast Asia.But these practices have either disappeared or are in decline. 28.How can dolphins catch mullets more easily according to paragraph 1? A.By competing against humans. B.By using unique hunting skills. C.By forming a team with other fishes. 4 D.By cooperating with local fishermen. 29.Why does the ecologist sny that the dolphins are almost like teachers? A.The dolphins always imitate human bchavior. B.The dolphins try to communicate with fishers. C.The dolphins are willing to adjust their actions. D.The dolphins often signaled fishers to catch fish. 30.What's the benefit of dolphins working with fishermen? A.They avoid potential risks or dangers. B.They are often rescued by fishermen. C.They have better living environment. D.They are getting increasingly smarter. 31.What does the author intend to convey in the text? A.Dolphins are cooperative creatures. B.Dolphins are dependent on fishermen. C.Humans are struggling for their survival. D.Humans are learning skills from animals. 0 Egypt's Great Pyramids at Giza exist on a remote area of land at the edge of the Sahara Desert.The inhospitable location has long puzzled archaeologists,some of whom had found evidence that the Nile River once flowed near these pyramids in some capacity,promoting the landmarks'construction starting 4,700 years ago. Using satellite imaging and analysis of cores of sediment(),a new study published in the iournal Communications Earth&Environment has mapped a 64-kilometer-long,dried-up branch of the Nile,long buried beneath farmland and desert Lead author Eman Ghoneim said previous efforts to reconstruct Nile waterways were largely limited to soil sample collections from small sites,mapping only small sections."This is the first study to provide a map of the long-lost ancient branch of the Nile River,"she noted.Ghoneim and her team called this extinct branch Amamat, Arabic for pyramlds.It was about 0.5 km wide and at least 25 meters deep,similar to the current Nile. "The large size and extended length of the Ahramat Branch and its proximity()to the 31 pyramids in the study area strongly suggest a functional waterway of great importance,"Ghoneim said.She thought the river would have played a key role in ancient Egyptians'transportation of the enormous amount of building materials and laborers needed for the pyramids'construction. Ghoneim,born and raised in Egypt,was always curious about the pyramids'construction site.She investigated with NSF funding and found geophysical data confirming it was an ancient Nile arm.Earth cores revealed sandy sediment,consistent with a river channel at 25 meters'depth. The study suggests"countless"temples may be buried along the Ahramat Branch's riverbank.Why the river dried up remains unclear,but a likely cause is a period of drought and desertification. 32.What does the underlined word in paragraph I'probably mean? A.Unstable. B.Unlivable. C.Uncomfortable D.Unavailable. 33.What did the previous studies on the Nile River focus on? A.The Great Pyramids of Giza. B.The entire Nile River system. C.Soil sample collections from small sites. D.The dryness of the Nile River branch. 34.What does Ghoneim think about the Ahramat Branch? A.It was not important to ancient Egyptians. 5 B.It was the main waterway of the Nile River. C.It dried up due to the digging of the pyramids. D.It played a key role in the construction of the pyramids. 35.What is the best title of the passage? A.Lost branch of the Nile River B.The mystery of the remote land C.The Nile River's role in ancient Egypt D.The construction of the Great Pyramids 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Advertisements are designed to persuade us,but which techniques are effective in talking us into buy things? 36 Normalization can lead to higher sales of junk food as people start to see these habits as normal. This is like product placement-where products are shown or mentioned in TV shows and films.Beth,an assistant professor of marketing and advertisement,tells us that product placement is most effective when it is not too obvious.37_It seems that a subtle(不易察觉的)approach can be more persuasive. Appealing to our emotions is another strategy adwertisers use.38annet,a senior lecturer in communication studies,explains that for fear to be an effective tool,we need to believe:when fears are raised, people tend to take action to make a difference,like buying something.But when fears are exaggerated (or we feel helpless,we are likely to switch off. Advertisements often show perfect-looking people because marketers believe that we will desire to be like them and buy the products they support.39The research that she mentions shows these ads can make people feel bad and put them off products.These studies say that seeing a more human side of people can lead us to believe them.40 So,it seems that the best technique advertisers can use to persuade people is to fully understand the people they are selling to. A.Some of them use fear to persuade us. B.One way is simply to describe something as normal. C.Superstars are gradually losing their commercial value. D.We become defensive if we know that someone is trying to sell us something. e.However,a researcher in marketing points out this may not be the best strategy. F A common technique to make an emotional impact is to create a memorable slogan. G.And endorsements (from characters who admit their mistakes can be more believable. 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I remember my first day to go to a new school in the 2nd grade.My dad accompanied me to the bus stop.As we warted for the bus,I just held his hand 4],but it still couldn't remove my clear sense of fearand anxiety.

It was a typical summer afternoon.Bob suggested we skip a language lesson to play basketball.Aha!I would show my defense,lay-ups and tree-point shooting.I loved to explore,I loved spots,and I loved basketball most.I believed I would be the next LeBron James. But my ression for sports came to a sudden stop when I began experiencing extreme back pain later that day. After several visits to doctors,finally I was told that a spine (surgery was necessary.Unfortunately,the surgery accidentally damaged my spinal cord ()I was in the ward hanging face down to relieve the pressure on my spine. After four-month rehabilitation training in hospital,reality slowly set in-I was unable to walk again.I couldn't believe this should have happened to me,that it wasn't possible to recover,that I wouldn't become a famons basketball slayer,that my life as I had known it,was over.My future would be chained to i wheelchair.I was just 16 years old! Back home,I learned how hard it was going to be to get around in a wheelchair.I withdrew from my friends and my basketball.At Bob's repeated invitation,I agreed to go to our regular swimming hole.Unable to make it down the riverbank alone,I was too proud to ask for help.When I finally realized my pride would keep me away from people and sports I loved,I let Bob carry me on his back to the river's edge. Allowing others to help was a turning point.I realized my attitude was the biggest barrier I had to face.How could I expect others to see my potential if I didn't see it myself?How could I realize my basketball dream if I withdrew into myself? 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。 Paragraph 1:One day,Bob took me to a wheelchair basketball game.

We talked about our favourite English classics enthusiastically. I introduced to my class the English classic that I’ve read recently, including the author, the main characters, the plot, and the historical background of the book. Also, I analyzed the social values, humanity and culture that the book had reflected. This experience made me realize the importance of reading English classics. By sharing our reading experience we can broaden our horizons! Yours, Li Hua 读后续写 One day, Bob took me to a wheelchair basketball game. We watched the players weave their way and make impressive shots. They were fiercely competitive and moved around the court with incredible speed and precision, using wheelchairs to their full advantage. How I wished I could be one of them! Seeing the spark of excitement in my eyes, Bob whispered, “You can do it if you try.” I hesitated, “You mean it?" He nudged（用肘轻触） me and smiled, “It doesn't hurt to give it a shot!” (75 words) With Bob's encouragement, I decided to have a try at my dream. Initially, it was a struggle. Getting around in a wheelchair was challenging itself, let alone defending or shooting. Luckily, I was introduced to some of the wheelchair players who shared some tricks and encouraged me to carry on. Bob was always keeping me company during all the practices. The more I practiced, the more potential I saw in myself. I was back on court with Bob, pursuing my basketball dream, just in a different way. (75 words) 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
