I mostly went to school with other kids whose parents were also in the military. But when my dad retired (退伍), I moved to a common school with twelve-year-olds who shared no similar life experience with me. I was like a stranger in a strange land, lonely and uneasy. For the first few weeks, I had nothing to do but write in my diary every day — stories of adventure, of old friends, of feelings that I could not speak. One day, my teacher, Mrs. Bush, came to me and asked why I always sat there writing instead of playing with others. I told her I enjoyed writing more than playing. She just smiled and left. About 2 weeks later, she gave us a writing task. I was excited that I could now take part in something that I was good at. That night I worked on my story for hours. It was my chance to feel important and let the class accept me. A few days after we handed in our works, Mrs. Bush called me up to the front of the classroom. I stood before thirty pairs of eyes looking at me, and I got worried. Then Mrs. Bush told the class that everyone had done a great job. “But”, she said, “one student stood out as an excellent writer, with imagination and creativity.” That student was ME! The class clapped and Mrs. Bush handed me my paper, with the words on it, “Malinda, you are an excellent writer. Please keep on writing and share your gift of writing with the world. I am proud of you and glad you are in my class.” Mrs. Bush helped me feel a sense of belonging and find a way to face a change in life. She helped me build confidence in myself that stayed with me beyond sixth grade. 24. How does the writer feel after she moved to a common school? A. Happy. B. Curious. C. Proud. D. Lonely. 25. What made the writer excited about 2 weeks later? A. The writing task. B. The new school. C. Her classmates. D. Her diaries. 26. What did the writer learn from the experience? A. Everyone should have a hobby. B. An excellent writer can face a change in life. C. A wise teacher could have a great influence on students. D. It’s necessary to be active to make friends in a new school. 【答案】24. D 25. A 26.

I was excited that I could now take part in something that I was good at.”可知，两周后写作任务让作者兴奋，故选A。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Mrs. Bush helped me feel a sense of belonging and find a way to face a change in life.

The image of Chinese characters that many people have is that they are all pictograms (象形字), but this is far from the case because pictograms have very limited use. Simple pictograms might be practical, for example, if one is making a shopping list of things to buy at the store, but they are quite useless if one is writing something more abstract (抽象的). So it is a mistake to say that written Chinese is a “picture language”. Besides pictograms, here are some other common types of Chinese characters. ● Ideograms First, there are simple ideograms. These are characters which provide an abstract picture of an idea, but in an easy form. For example, “up” is “上” while “down” is “下”. ● Compound Characters Next we have a common kind of hanzi: compound characters. These are where two or more characters are joined in one character for a new meaning. Some of these are easy to understand. In many cases, however, the meanings of compound characters are more difficult to work out. ● Phonetic Loan Characters Phonetic loan characters are the characters which started out as pictograms. However, they are often used to mean other words that have the same pronunciation. A good example of this is “目”. While it can be used in modern Chinese with the meaning “eye”, it is most often used to mean “a thing on a list”. The reason is that Chinese has a word for “a thing on a list” but lacks (缺少) a character for it, so the word takes the character “目”, a character with the same pronunciation. ● Phonetic-semantic Characters A final kind of Chinese characters is by far the most common. These are phonetic-semantic characters. With phonetic-semantic characters, one part of each character gives a clue (线索) to the pronunciation, while the other gives a clue to the meaning. Over the centuries, it was thought that the difficulty of some Chinese characters was keeping people from being able to learn them. Therefore, during the 1950s and 1960s, the Chinese government rolled out (推出) simplified Chinese characters. 27. According to the passage, pictograms ________. A. are quite easy to write B. have limited use C. are very difficult D. are quite useful 28. Which of the following kinds does the character “梨” belong to? A. Pictograms. B. Phonetic loan characters. C. Ideograms. D. Phonetic-semantic characters. 29. What can we learn from the passage? A. It’s believed that Chinese characters are all pictograms. B. The meanings of many ideograms are difficult to work out. C. Phonetic loan characters usually have more than one meaning. D. Phonetic-semantic characters are the same as compound characters. 【答案】27. B 28. D 29. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了汉字的几种常见类型，并阐述了它们各自的特点，同时提及了汉字的简化背景。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“but this is far from the case because pictograms have very limited use.”可知，象形字用途有限，故选B。 28题详解】 推理判断题。根据“With phonetic-semantic characters, one part of each character gives a clue (线索) to the pronunciation, while the other gives a clue to the meaning.”可知，“梨”字由“木”和“利”组成，符合声旁兼义字的特点，即一部分提示发音，一部分提示意义，所以“梨”属于声旁兼义字，故选D。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Phonetic loan characters are the characters which started out as pictograms. However, they are often used to mean other words that have the same pronunciation.”可知，假借字通常有不止一个意思，比如“目”既可以表示“眼睛”，又常用来表示“清单上的一项”，故选C。 D A tennis player wins her second round, feeling like she can predict another player’s next move. A musician practices repeatedly without worrying about mistakes. A scientist fails to notice her morning alarm from the next room, having done experiments through the night. While each of these people is involved in a different activity, all three are experiencing what is known as FLOW—a special mental state of effortless engagement (投入). This is a good thing and anyone can find ways to enter flow. Flow is more than just focusing or paying attention. Psychologists find flow has several typical characteristics (特点). First, those in flow tend (倾向于) to keep focused easily. Flow is also likely to reduce feelings of worry, in turn encouraging creativity. And people in flow report experiencing a sense of oneness with what they’re doing, allowing for top performance. And scientists are still working to understand why certain activities are more likely to cause flow than others. While we don’t know for sure, there are several ways to help people enter flow. For example, people more often report finding flow when doing things they find motivating, meaning activities they find purpose, meaning, or enjoyment in. This may include joining in a favorite hobby, studying topics you find interesting, or even completing satisfying chores. Likewise, it may be more difficult to find flow in tasks you do only because you have to, not because you want to. Other research suggests balancing personal skill level with the activity’s challenge is key for finding flow. In other words, if a task is too easy, you may get distracted or feel bored. If it’s too challenging, you may become discouraged. Still, other studies suggest that it’s most important that activities have clear goals and allow you to assess (评估) your progress along the way. For example, people often find flow when playing games of chance, because moment-to-moment feedback (反馈) may be enough to get them involved deeply. There are also steps you can take to increase your chances to enter flow. Find a quiet environment free from noises. Break your tasks into small, specific parts that are easy to track and learn from. Set clear end goals that are challenging. If you find the task to be boring, set up a more difficult one. Most importantly, don’t focus too much on reaching flow. That sort of thinking might just prevent you from finding it. 30. Why does the writer describe three people in Paragraph 1? A. To show their excellent skills. B. To show they all work very hard. C. To find the common thing—FLOW. D. To stress the importance of attention. 31. Which of the following would the writer most probably agree with? A. People who are experts in a certain field can find flow easily. B. People who are in flow may be more creative and perform better. C. The more difficult the task is, the more easily people enter flow. D. It’s quite easy for people to enter flow when hanging out aimlessly. 32. What does the word “distracted” in Paragraph 5 most probably mean? A. Lose chance. B. Lose attention. C. Lose face. D. Lose heart. 33. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A How People Enter Flow State B. How Flow Influences People C. Why Entering Flow Is Important D. Why Entering Flow Is Difficult 【答案】30. C 31. B 32. B 33. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了一种特殊的心理状态——心流，包括其特点以及帮助人们进入心流状态的方法等内容。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“While each of these people is involved in a different activity, all three are experiencing what is known as FLOW—a special mental state of effortless engagement. This is a good thing and anyone can find ways to enter flow.”可知，作者描述这三个人是为了找出他们的共同之处——心流状态，故选C。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Flow is also likely to reduce feelings of worry, in turn encouraging creativity. And people in flow report experiencing a sense of oneness with what they’re doing, allowing for top performance.”可知，处于心流状态的人可能更有创造力，表现更好，故选B。 【32题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第五段“In other words, if a task is too easy, you may get distracted or feel bored.”可知，如果任务太简单，你可能会分心或感到无聊，所以“distracted”的意思是“分心”，故选B。 【33题详解】 最佳标题题。根据第三段“And scientists are still working to understand why certain activities are more likely to cause flow than others. While we don’t know for sure, there are several ways to help people enter flow.”以及下文提到的帮助人们进入心流状态的方法可知，文章主要讲述了人们如何进入心流状态，选项A“人如何进入心流状态”符合语境，故选A。 第二部分 本部分共5题，共20分。根据题目要求，完成相应任务。 四、阅读表达 （第34-36题每题2分，第37题4分，共10分） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 If you’ve struggled (奋力) to save up your pocket money or found it hard not to eat a whole packet of sweets in one go, you’ll understand the power of self-control. What does self-control mean? Also known as “willpower”, self-control means giving up short-term rewards for long-term ones. This could be going without things you want to buy now to save up for a future treat, or walking away from an argument in case you say something hurtful. Psychologist Roy Baumeister (an expert in thoughts and feelings) says willpower is a type of energy. It can be low when people are tired, hungry or stressed. However, there are ways to top it up. Superpower energy Self-control is a superpower that can help you achieve your goals. Doing music practice every day means you get better at playing an instrument. Getting up early for sports training will improve your skills and help your team. Willpower helps build healthy habits, like staying away from screens before bed so you get better sleep. It can also help you to manage emotions and gives you the power to make good decisions. There are lots of studies that show good self-control can help make us happier and healthier. How to improve your self-control “It doesn’t always feel like it, but we all have willpower,” says scientist Erie Schulze. He explains that it’s like a muscle (肌肉) because the more you use it, the stronger it becomes. The best way to strengthen self-control is getting plenty of sleep and feeding your brain with healthy food. Try focusing on small goals so you don’t use up all your energy in one go. “As the day goes on, that willpower muscle becomes smaller and it’s harder to resist temptation (拒绝诱惑),” Schulze says. When this happens he suggests exercising as this helps you reduce stress and gives energy to the brain. Do something that makes you laugh, says Schulze, as “a good mood can overpower a weak will”. 34. What does self-control mean? ________________________________________ 35. When do people have low willpower? ________________________________________ 36. What is the best way to strengthen self-control? ________________________________________ 37. Is your self-control high or low? Give at least two examples. ________________________________________ 【答案】34. Self-control means giving up short-term rewards for long-term ones. 35. The willpower can be low when people are tired, hungry or stressed. /When they are tired hungry or stressed. /It can be low when people are tired, hungry or stressed. 36. The best way to strengthen self-control is getting plenty of sleep and feeding your brain with healthy food. 37. High. For example, I keep running every morning. And I can always resist the temptation of junk food.（答案不唯一） 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了自我控制（意志力）的重要性及其对个人目标实现的帮助，并提供了提高自我控制的方法。 【34题详解】 根据文中“self-control means giving up short-term rewards for long-term ones”可知，自我控制是指放弃短期奖励以获得长期奖励。故填Self-control means giving up short-term rewards for long-term ones. 【35题详解】 根据文中“Psychologist Roy Baumeister (an expert in thoughts and feelings) says willpower is a type of energy. It can be low when people are tired, hungry or stressed”可知，当人们感到疲倦、饥饿或压力大时，意志力会很低。故填The willpower can be low when people are tired, hungry or stressed. /When they are tired hungry or stressed. /It can be low when people are tired, hungry or stressed. 【36题详解】 根据文中“The best way to strengthen self-control is getting plenty of sleep and feeding your brain with healthy food”可知，加强自我控制的最佳方法是充足的睡眠和健康的饮食。故填The best way to strengthen self-control is getting plenty of sleep and feeding your brain with healthy food. 【37题详解】 开放性问题，答案合理即可，参考答案High. For example, I keep running every morning. And I can always resist the temptation of junk food. 五、文段表达 (10分） 从下面两个题目中任选一题，根据所给的中文和英文提示，完成一篇不少于50词的英语文段写作。文中已给出内容不计入总词数。所给提示词语仅供选用。请不要写出真实的校名和姓名。 题目① 38. 假如你是李华，你所在的学校即将开展学习方法分享交流活动。作为高年级的学长，你将以“How to Learn English Well”为主题，为七年级的学弟学妹们做一次演讲。请你用英语写一篇演讲稿。 提示词语：experience, improve, useful, important 内容提示： 1.

I mostly went to school with other kids whose parents were also in the military. But when my dad retired (退伍), I moved to a common school with twelve-year-olds who shared no similar life experience with me. I was like a stranger in a strange land, lonely and uneasy. For the first few weeks, I had nothing to do but write in my diary every day — stories of adventure, of old friends, of feelings that I could not speak. One day, my teacher, Mrs. Bush, came to me and asked why I always sat there writing instead of playing with others. I told her I enjoyed writing more than playing. She just smiled and left. About 2 weeks later, she gave us a writing task. I was excited that I could now take part in something that I was good at. That night I worked on my story for hours. It was my chance to feel important and let the class accept me. A few days after we handed in our works, Mrs. Bush called me up to the front of the classroom. I stood before thirty pairs of eyes looking at me, and I got worried. Then Mrs. Bush told the class that everyone had done a great job. “But”, she said, “one student stood out as an excellent writer, with imagination and creativity.” That student was ME! The class clapped and Mrs. Bush handed me my paper, with the words on it, “Malinda, you are an excellent writer. Please keep on writing and share your gift of writing with the world. I am proud of you and glad you are in my class.” Mrs. Bush helped me feel a sense of belonging and find a way to face a change in life. She helped me build confidence in myself that stayed with me beyond sixth grade. 24. How does the writer feel after she moved to a common school? A. Happy. B. Curious. C. Proud. D. Lonely. 25. What made the writer excited about 2 weeks later? A. The writing task. B. The new school. C. Her classmates. D. Her diaries. 26. What did the writer learn from the experience? A. Everyone should have a hobby. B. An excellent writer can face a change in life. C. A wise teacher could have a great influence on students. D. It’s necessary to be active to make friends in a new school. C One of the earliest forms of writing which is still being used today is Chinese characters, or hanzi. The image of Chinese characters that many people have is that they are all pictograms (象形字), but this is far from the case because pictograms have very limited use. Simple pictograms might be practical, for example, if one is making a shopping list of things to buy at the store, but they are quite useless if one is writing something more abstract (抽象的). So it is a mistake to say that written Chinese is a “picture language”. Besides pictograms, here are some other common types of Chinese characters. ● Ideograms First, there are simple ideograms. These are characters which provide an abstract picture of an idea, but in an easy form. For example, “up” is “上” while “down” is “下”. ● Compound Characters Next we have a common kind of hanzi: compound characters. These are where two or more characters are joined in one character for a new meaning. Some of these are easy to understand. In many cases, however, the meanings of compound characters are more difficult to work out. ● Phonetic Loan Characters Phonetic loan characters are the characters which started out as pictograms. However, they are often used to mean other words that have the same pronunciation. A good example of this is “目”. While it can be used in modern Chinese with the meaning “eye”, it is most often used to mean “a thing on a list”. The reason is that Chinese has a word for “a thing on a list” but lacks (缺少) a character for it, so the word takes the character “目”, a character with the same pronunciation. ● Phonetic-semantic Characters A final kind of Chinese characters is by far the most common. These are phonetic-semantic characters. With phonetic-semantic characters, one part of each character gives a clue (线索) to the pronunciation, while the other gives a clue to the meaning. Over the centuries, it was thought that the difficulty of some Chinese characters was keeping people from being able to learn them. Therefore, during the 1950s and 1960s, the Chinese government rolled out (推出) simplified Chinese characters. 27. According to the passage, pictograms ________. A. are quite easy to write B. have limited use C. are very difficult D. are quite useful 28. Which of the following kinds does the character “梨” belong to? A. Pictograms. B. Phonetic loan characters. C. Ideograms. D. Phonetic-semantic characters. 29. What can we learn from the passage? A. It’s believed that Chinese characters are all pictograms. B. The meanings of many ideograms are difficult to work out. C. Phonetic loan characters usually have more than one meaning. D. Phonetic-semantic characters are the same as compound characters. D A tennis player wins her second round, feeling like she can predict another player’s next move. A musician practices repeatedly without worrying about mistakes. A scientist fails to notice her morning alarm from the next room, having done experiments through the night. While each of these people is involved in a different activity, all three are experiencing what is known as FLOW—a special mental state of effortless engagement (投入). This is a good thing and anyone can find ways to enter flow. Flow is more than just focusing or paying attention. Psychologists find flow has several typical characteristics (特点). First, those in flow tend (倾向于) to keep focused easily. Flow is also likely to reduce feelings of worry, in turn encouraging creativity. And people in flow report experiencing a sense of oneness with what they’re doing, allowing for top performance. And scientists are still working to understand why certain activities are more likely to cause flow than others. While we don’t know for sure, there are several ways to help people enter flow. For example, people more often report finding flow when doing things they find motivating, meaning activities they find purpose, meaning, or enjoyment in. This may include joining in a favorite hobby, studying topics you find interesting, or even completing satisfying chores. Likewise, it may be more difficult to find flow in tasks you do only because you have to, not because you want to. Other research suggests balancing personal skill level with the activity’s challenge is key for finding flow. In other words, if a task is too easy, you may get distracted or feel bored. If it’s too challenging, you may become discouraged. Still other studies suggest that it’s most important that activities have clear goals and allow you to assess (评估) your progress along the way. For example, people often find flow when playing games of chance, because moment-to-moment feedback (反馈) may be enough to get them involved deeply. There are also steps you can take to increase your chances to enter flow. Find a quiet environment free from noises. Break your tasks into small, specific parts that are easy to track and learn from. Set clear end goals that are challenging. If you find the task to be boring, set up a more difficult one. Most importantly, don’t focus too much on reaching flow. That sort of thinking might just prevent you from finding it. 30. Why does the writer describe three people in Paragraph 1? A. To show their excellent skills. B. To show they all work very hard. C. To find the common thing—FLOW. D. To stress the importance of attention. 31. Which of the following would the writer most probably agree with? A. People who are experts in a certain field can find flow easily. B. People who are in flow may be more creative and perform better. C. The more difficult the task is, the more easily people enter flow. D. It’s quite easy for people to enter flow when hanging out aimlessly. 32. What does the word “distracted” in Paragraph 5 most probably mean? A. Lose chance. B. Lose attention. C. Lose face. D. Lose heart. 33. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. How People Enter Flow State B. How Flow Influences People C. Why Entering Flow Is Important D. Why Entering Flow Is Difficult 第二部分 本部分共5题，共20分。根据题目要求，完成相应任务。 四、阅读表达 （第34-36题每题2分，第37题4分，共10分） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 If you’ve struggled (奋力) to save up your pocket money or found it hard not to eat a whole packet of sweets in one go, you’ll understand the power of self-control. What does self-control mean? Also known as “willpower”, self-control means giving up short-term rewards for long-term ones. This could be going without things you want to buy now to save up for a future treat, or walking away from an argument in case you say something hurtful. Psychologist Roy Baumeister (an expert in thoughts and feelings) says willpower is a type of energy. It can be low when people are tired, hungry or stressed. However, there are ways to top it up. Superpower energy Self-control is a superpower that can help you achieve your goals. Doing music practice every day means you get better at playing an instrument. Getting up early for sports training will improve your skills and help your team. Willpower helps build healthy habits, like staying away from screens before bed so you get better sleep. It can also help you to manage emotions and gives you the power to make good decisions. There are lots of studies that show good self-control can help make us happier and healthier. How to improve your self-control “It doesn’t always feel like it but we all have willpower,” says scientist Erie Schulze. He explains that it’s like a muscle (肌肉) because the more you use it, the stronger it becomes. The best way to strengthen self-control is getting plenty of sleep and feeding your brain with healthy food. Try focusing on small goals so you don’t use up all your energy in one go. “As the day goes on, that willpower muscle becomes smaller and it’s harder to resist temptation (拒绝诱惑),” Schulze says. When this happens he suggests exercising as this helps you reduce stress and gives energy to the brain. Do something that makes you laugh, says Schulze, as “a good mood can overpower a weak will”. 34.

What is the best way to strengthen self-control? ________________________________________ 37. Is your self-control high or low?
