W: I’m sure they are working on it now. M: So how could it help someone like me? W: Well, if you have a family history of a certain health problem, maybe it is in your genes. Perhaps a medicine could be given that would just help you. M: Wow! That would be cool. I can see how that would be very important. Let’s hope it is introduced soon. It sounds very promising. 听下面一段独白，回答17到20题。 17. How is Mark described? A. Devoted. B. Original. C. Confident. 18. Which role has Mark held for the longest? A. The marketing manager. B.

Seven out of those ten years were spent as a marketing manager, where he has set a great example, as shown in the annual sales and customer loyalty reports. Mark has always shown skill in the performance of his duties, even going above and beyond what is expected of him. The aim is to ensure that Outreach delivers quality customer service while producing the expected output, well before deadlines. We expect this same level of devotion and commitment to be applied in his new position as one of the heads of the marketing department. As a marketing director, Mark will be more closely involved in creating marketing plans, with particular focus on the two biggest projects of Outreach — the Tulip Project and the long-awaited Chrome Project, a five-year task expected to launch in the coming year. Of course, these are on top of any other marketing projects requiring his skill and leadership. He will report to the marketing chairman. Let us all congratulate Mark on this promotion, and wish him luck for all his future career. 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Books That Celebrate Diverse Holidays and Traditions It’s important to remember there are a diverse set of holidays available to explore.

Small for my age, and more of a bookworm than a sports lover, I had suffered that special humiliation of being picked last for various gym teams. The Field Day, which focused on individual (个体的) skills, was different. In the Softball Throw event, I got my first taste of sporting victory. Credit goes to the example of my first coach, my father. He lifted weights every morning at home. He bought us all baseball gloves and hats, and in the warm months, we spent hours playing catch. Once I got to sixth grade and switched to private school, our entire student body was assigned to either the Red or the White team. Throughout the year, we competed against each other in various games and exercises for points. I eventually became president of The Committee of Games. I also played on the field hockey team and the basketball team. And at home, playing tennis, skating, skiing and biking were simply normal things we did. During the break time, magazines were also quite popular for us teens. These regularly feature d articles on physical exercise. Somehow, my college roommate and I took up the habit of completing Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) exercises every day, a practice that continued into my marriage, when we had no spare money to use to join a gym. So, though it shocks some of our friends, that early foundation (基础) continue in adulthood into a sports and fitness focus, considered important even on vacation. I still love reading and the arts, too. As far as I'm concerned, life is the richest with my feet in both worlds. 24. What does the underlined word “humiliation” mean in Paragraph 1? A. Responsibility. B. Shock. C. Shame. D. Glory. 25. The author thought she won in the Softball Throw event because of ______. A. her confidence in her sports skills B. the efforts she put into exercising C. her advanced sports gloves and hats D. the strong influence of her father 26. What happened after the author stepped into adulthood? A. She changed the focus into reading. B. She stuck to working out. C. She regularly exercised on weekends. D. She joined Royal Canadian Air Force. 27. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To express her love for sports. B. To show her father’s guidance on sports. C. To stress the advantages of physical exercise. D. To share her childhood memories about sports. 24. C 25. D 26. B 27. A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者从小热爱体育，并且在父亲的指导和培训下第一次尝到了运动胜利的滋味。于是作者开始参与各种体育运动，并把这种对体育的热爱持续到了成年。 24. C 解析：词义猜测题。根据第一段Small for my age, and more of a bookworm than a sports enthusiast, I had suffered that special humiliation of being picked last for various gym teams.(对于我9岁的年纪来说，我个头很小，与其说是体育爱好者，不如说是个书呆子。我遭受了被各种体操队最后选中的那种特殊的屈辱。)可知，作者因为个头小，遭受了被各种体操队最后选中的屈辱。可知划线词的意思是"屈辱，耻辱"。与shame意思相近。A.Responsibility.责任;B.Shock.惊讶;C.Shame.耻辱;D.Glory.荣耀。故选C。 25. D 解析：推理判断题。根据第一段In the Softball Throw event, I got my first taste of sporting victory. Credit goes to the example of my first coach, my father.(在垒球比赛中，我第一次尝到了运动胜利的滋味。这要归功于我的第一位教练，我的父亲。)可知作者将比赛的胜利归功于父亲强大的影响。故选D。 26. B 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段So，though it shocks some of our friends，that early foundation evolved in adulthood into a sports and fitness focus，considered essential even on vacation.(所以，尽管这让我们的一些朋友感到震惊，但这种早期的基础在成年后逐渐发展为运动和健身，甚至被认为是度假时必不可少的。)可知，作者在成年后依然热爱运动。故选B。 27. A 解析：目的意图题。通读全文可知，文章讲述了自己热爱体育运动的起因、经过和结果。根据第一段第一句The first time I realized that l had a love for sports competitions was during the Field Day in elementary school. (我第一次意识到我对体育比赛的热爱是在小学的Field Day期间。)以及第三段So, though it shocks some of our friends，that early foundation evolved in adulthood into a sports and fitness focus, considered essential even on vacation.(所以，尽管这让我们的一些朋友感到震惊，但这种早期的基础在成年后逐渐发展为运动和健身，甚至被认为是度假时必不可少的。)可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是表达自己对运动和健身的喜爱。故选A。 C A new observation in Sumatra caught seasoned scientists by surprise. An orangutan (红毛猩猩) known as Rakus treated a fresh wound with a medicinal plant, making this the first time an animal has been seen applying a biologically active substance (物质) for. its health benefits. This leaves scientists wondering: Did humans invent medicine, or does it pre-date our species? These animals are known to be among the most intelligent non-human primates (灵长类). They’ve been observed using tools, communicating vocally, and engaging in even more complex behaviors like calculated reciprocity, which involves aiding another orangutan with the expectation of being paid back. They can even use Skype with some help from humans. Roughly 60,000-70,000 of these creatures remain in the wild, about 15,000 of which live on the Indonesian island of Sumatra. That’s where the Suaq Project, part of the Max Planck Institute for Animal Behavior, observes orangutans in their natural habitat. The researchers noted in June that Rakus had a small wound on his face following a fight with another mature male orangutan. Several days later, Rakus did something no one had ever seen a primate do before. He began carefully picking the leaves from a climbing vine (藤蔓) known as akar kuning. Local human populations have long used these leaves for pain relief and to treat conditions like malaria. Orangutans don’t usually eat these plants: indeed, Rakus didn’t eat them. He chewed (嚼碎) them and then applied the resulting paste to his facial wound. This is the first time researchers have seen such behavior in 21 years at the Sumatran research station. Wild orangutans are rarely injured, so this may be a rare but widespread behavior. Or perhaps Rakus is the only one that knows this trick. The researchers assumed that early humans may have learned about certain treatment by observing animals engaging in similar behaviors. And here we are, thousands of generations later, still watching and wondering just how smart they are. Increasingly, it looks like orangutans are one cave painting away from civilization. 28. Why does the author mention Skype in paragraph 2? A. To support an idea. B. To draw a conclusion. C. To explain a problem. D. To present a suggestion. 29. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. How Rakus got injured. B. How Rakus treated his wound. C. What Rakus ate in the wild. D. What Rakus explored in the forest. 30. What can be inferred about the new observation? A. It proves the medical value of a plant leaf. B. It shows a widespread behavior among orangutans. C. It answers one of scientists’ questions about medicine. D. It adds evidence to show the intelligence of orangutans. 31. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. Non-human Primates Seen Using Tools in the Wild B. Orangutans Proved to Be the Most Intelligent Primate C. A Project Observes Orangutans in Their Natural Habitat D. An Orangutan Observed Applying Medicinal Plant to a Wound 28. A 29. B 30. D 31. D 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了观察大猩猩用植物治疗伤口的相关研究以及发现。 28. A 【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段 “These animals are known to be among the most intelligent non-human primates (灵长类). They’ve been observed using tools, communicating vocally and engaging in even more complex behaviors like calculated reciprocity, which involves aiding another orangutan with the expectation of being paid back. They can even use Skype with some help from humans. (这些动物被认为是最聪明的非人类灵长类动物之一。人们观察到它们使用工具，进行口头交流，并参与更复杂的行为，如计算互惠，这包括帮助另一只猩猩并期望得到回报，他们甚至可以在人类的帮助下使用Skype)”可知，作者在第二段提到Skype是为了支持“大猩猩被认为是最聪明的非人类灵长类动物之一”这一个想法，故选A。 29. B 【解析】主旨大意题。根据第四段“The researchers noted in June that Rakus had a small wound on his face following a fight with another mature male orangutan Severai days later, Rakus did something no one had ever seen a primate do before. He began carefully picking the leaves from a climbing vine (藤蔓) known as akar kuning. Local human populations have long used these leaves for pain relief and to treat conditions like malaria. Orangutans don’t usually eat these plants; indeed, Rakus didn’t eat them. He chewed (碎) them and then applied the resulting paste to his facial wound. (研究人员在6月份注意到，拉库斯在与另一只成年雄性猩猩打架后，脸上有一个小伤口，几天后，拉库斯做了一件没人见过的灵长类动物做过的事，他开始小心翼翼地从一种叫akar kuning的藤蔓上采摘叶子。当地居民长期以来一直使用这些叶子来缓解疼痛和治疗疟疾等疾病。猩猩通常不吃这些植物:事实上，拉库斯并没有吃它们。他咀嚼它们，然后将产生的糊状物涂在脸上的伤口上)可知，第四段的主要内容是拉库斯如何处理他的伤口，故选B。 30. D 【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段“The researchers assumed that early humans may have learned about certain treatment by observing animals engaging in similar behaviors. And here we are, thousands of generations later, still watching and wondering just how smart they are. Increasingly, it looks like orangutans are one cave painting away from civilization. (研究人员认为，早期人类可能是通过观察动物的类似行为来了解某些治疗方法的。而我们，在几千代人之后，仍然在观察和好奇他们到底有多聪明。越来越多的迹象表明，猩猩似乎离人类文明只有一步之遥)”可知，新的观察结果增加了证明猩猩智力的证据。故选D。 31. D 【解析】主旨大意题。根据第一段“A new observation in Sumatra caught seasoned scientists by surprise. An orangutan (红毛猩猩) known as Rakus treated a fresh wound with a medicinal plant, making this the first time an animal has been seen applying a biologically active substance (质) for its health benefits. This leaves scientists wondering: Did humans invent medicine, or does it pre-date our species? (在苏门答腊岛的一项新观察让经验丰富的科学家们大吃一惊。一只名为Rakus的猩猩用一种药用植物治疗了一个新伤口，这是第一次看到动物为了健康而使用生物活性物质。这让科学家们想知道:是人类发明了药物，还是早于我们的物种?结合文章主要介绍了观察大猩猩用植物治疗伤口的相关研究以及发现)可知，D选项“观察到一只猩猩将药用植物涂抹在伤口上”最符合文章标题。故选D。 D For decades, scientists thought of the brain as the most valuable an consequently most closely guarded part of the body. Locked safely behind the blood brain barrier, it was broadly free of the harm of viruses and the battles started the immune system. Then, about 20 years ago, some researchers began to wonder is the brain really so separated (分离) from the body? The answer, according to growing body of evidence, is no. The list of brain conditions that have been linked with changes elsewhere in the body is long and growing. Changes in the make-up of the microorganisms in the digestive system have been linked to disorders such as Parkinson’s disease. There is also a theory that infection during pregnancy (孕期) could lead to brain disease sir babies. The effect is two-way. There is a lengthening list of symptoms (症状) not typically viewed as disorders of the nervous system, but the brain plays a large part in them. For example, the development of a fever is influenced by a population of nerve cells that control body temperature and appetite. Evidence is mounting that cancers use nerves to grow and spread. The interconnection between the brain and body has promising implications for our ability to both understand and treat illnesses. If some brain disorders start outside the brain, then perhaps treatments for them could also reach in from outside. Treatments that take effect through the digestive system, the heart or other organs, would be much easier and less risky than those that must cross the blood-brain barrier. It also works in the opposite direction. Study shows mice have healthier hearts after receiving stimulation (刺激) to a brain area involved in positive emotion and motivation. Activation of the brain reward centre—called the ventral tegmental area (VTA)—seems to cause immune changes that contribute to it. Working out how this happens could help to destroy cancers, enhance responses to vaccines (疫苗) and even re-evaluate physical diseases that, for centuries, have not been considered as being psychologically driven. 32. What do the researchers focus on about the brain? A. Its protecting system. B. Its exposure to diseases. C. Its controlling function. D. Its connection to the body. 33. How does the author support his idea in paragraph 2? A. By explaining a theory. B. By providing examples. C. By making comparisons. D. By presenting cause and effect. 34. Which best describes treatments that do not cross the blood-brain barrier? A. Cheaper. B. More specific. C. Safer. D. More direct. 35. What does the study suggest in the last paragraph? A. Brain health depends on immune changes. B. Brain stimulation leads to negative emotions. C. The brain can help enhance psychological health. D. The brain may be key to treating physical diseases. 32. D 33. B 34. C 35. D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍一些研究人员大脑并不是身体中保护最严密的部分，它和身体的其它部分产生的疾病是有联系的。 32. D 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Then, about 20 years ago,some researchers began to wonder: is the brain really so separated (分离) from the body? The answer, according to a growing body of evidence, is no. (然后，大约20年前，一些研究人员开始怀疑：大脑真的与身体如此分离吗?根据越来越多的证据，答案是否定的。)”可知，研究人员主要研究大脑与身体的联 系。故选D。 33. B 解析：推理判断题。根据第二段“The list of brain conditions that have been linked with changes elsewhere in the body is long and growing. Changes in the make-up of the microorganisms in the digestive system have been linked to disorders such as Parkinson’s disease. There is also a theory that infection during pregnancy (孕期) could lead to brain diseases in babies. (与身体 其他部位变化相关的大脑状况很多，而且还在不断增加。消化系统中微生物组成的变化与帕金森病等疾病有关。还有一种理论认为，怀孕期间的感染可能会导致婴儿脑部疾病。)”可知，这一段作者主要通过消化系统和怀孕期间的感染这两个例子来论 证自己的观点，说明大脑与身体没有那么分离。故选B。 34. C 解析：细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Treatments that take effect through the digestive system, the heart or other organs, would be much easier and less risky than those that must cross the blood-brain barrier. (通过消化系统、心脏或其他器官进行的治疗比必须穿过血脑屏障的治疗更容易、风险更小。)”可知，不通过血脑屏障的治疗风险更小。故选C。 35. D 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Study shows mice have healthier hearts after receiving stimulation (刺激) to a brain area involved in positive emotion and motivation. Activation of the brain reward centre-called the ventral tegmental area (VTA)— seems to cause immune changes that contribute to it. Working out how this happens could help to destroy cancers, enhance responses to vaccines (疫苗) and even re-evaluate physical diseases that, for centuries, have not been considered as being psychologically driven. (研究表明，在大脑中涉及积极情绪和动机的区域受到刺激后，小鼠的心脏更健康。大脑奖赏中枢的激 活——被称为中脑腹侧被盖区(VTA)—— 似乎会导致免疫变化。弄清楚这种情况是如何发生的，可以帮助摧毁癌症，增强对疫 苗的反应，甚至重新评估几个世纪以来一直不被认为是心理驱动的躯体疾病。)”可知，大脑可能是治疗躯体疾病的关键。故选D。 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。 Durian (榴莲) prices in China — the world’s top market for the spiky, pungent fruit typically regarded as an expensive item — have fallen by over 30 percent this month, which delights durian lovers a lot and they even couldn’t wait to enjoy one. However, many people find it challenging and overwhelming when faced with a mountain of spiky durian stands when they are buying a satisfying durian. 36 Tap on it (not with your hand). If a durian is ripe, it should “sound like hitting a drum”, as the fruit is more hollow with gap s of air inside the fruit. 37 The seeds are sure to have loosened up when we shake a ripen durian. A darker stem means that the durian has been harvested much earlier, so, obviously, it isn’t suitable for us to choose. 38 A perfectly elliptical durian is not necessarily the most delicious! If the durian has bulging (鼓起的) sides, it is often an indication that the seeds are fleshy. If the sides are concave, it is likely the chamber is empty. Odd-shaped durians also do not mean that there is less meat. 39 It’s commonly acknowledged that larger and rounder fruits will always be drawn attention to, but as for durians, bigger is not necessarily better. 40 It’s wise of you to avoid a durian of huge size which seems delicious. You won’t miss a tasty durian for your careful choice. A. Purchasing a durian, listen out for tapping sounds. B. Next time you buy a durian, do remember to choose a bigger one. C. In addition, one must also learn to observe the shape of the durian. D. Here are a few practical tips to help you become a skilled durian picker. E. Following the tips below, you’ll find it not difficult to break off a durian. F. The perfect weight of durian is 1.5 to 2kg, which provides the best flavors. G. They are usually more fragrant (芳香的) and creamier compared to perfectly rounded durians. 答案：DACGF 解析：这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何挑选一个令人满意的榴莲。 36. 根据前文“However, many people find it challenging and overwhelming when faced with a mountain of spiky durian stands when they are buying a satisfying durian. (然而，许多人在购买满意的榴莲时，面对堆积如山的榴莲摊位，他们感到有挑战性并不知所措。)”可知，D选项“Here are a few practical tips to help you become a skilled durian picker.”回答了前文的问题，承上启下，符合语境。故选D项。 37. 根据前文“If a durian is ripe, it should ‘sound like hitting a drum’, as the fruit is more hollow with gaps of air inside the fruit. (如果榴莲成熟了，它的声音应该“听起来像敲鼓”，因为榴莲的果实更中空，里面有空隙。)”以及本段的主旨句“Tap on it (not with your hand). 轻敲它(不要用手)。”可知，设空处内容应与“敲榴莲、听声音”有关，选项A“购买榴莲时，注意听敲击的声音。”与“敲榴莲、听声音”相对应，与本段落内容有关，故选择A项。 38. 下文“A perfectly elliptical durian is not necessarily the most delicious! (完全椭圆的榴莲并不一定是最美味的!)”及本段中两个If引导的条件句“If the durian has bulging (鼓起的) sides (如果榴莲是鼓起的)”和“If the sides are concave (如果榴莲是凹的)”可知，本段主要与“榴莲形状”有关。C项“In addition, one must also learn to observe the shape of the durian. (此外，还必须学会观察榴莲的形状。)”概括本段大意，能引起下文内容。故选 C项。 39. 根据上文“Odd-shaped durians also do not mean that there is less meat. (形状奇特的榴莲也不意味着果肉少。)”可知，设空处应与“榴莲的出肉率”有关。G选项“They are usually more fragrant (芳香的) and creamier compared to perfectly rounded durians. (他们通常比完美圆形的榴莲更香、更软糯。)”承接上文内容，符合语意。故选G项。 40. 根据上文“bigger is not necessarily better.(更大不一定更好。)”及后文“It’s wise of you to avoid a durian of huge size which seems delicious.(不吃个头太大看起来很好吃的榴莲是明智的。)”可知，设空处应与“榴莲大小”有关，且并不是“越大越好”。F选项“The perfect weight of durian is 1.5 to 2kg, which provides the best flavors.(榴莲的最佳重量是1.5-2公斤，味道最好。)”符合语境。故选F项。 第II卷（非选择题） 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Pranti Zaveri, a teacher deeply interested in financial literacy (素养), created her own programme called the life skills programme.

Some shorter ones only last for a few seconds. They are easy and fun to make. They’re like a stage where everyone can have a voice. On one hand, short videos are a good way to spread news or knowledge. Though short videos, people can share interesting things, gain knowledge and support, or just relax. On the other hand, every coin has two sides. Watching short videos may be a waste of time because it takes up too much people’s time. What’s more, we might get incorrect information from these videos. I think we can consider short videos as a way to relax in our free time. At the same time, we should develop the ability to tell truth from lies. 解析： 1.词汇积累 表明:suggest→indicate 获得:gain→acquire 有:have→possess 认为:think→figure 2.句式拓展：句型转换 原句: Though short videos, people can share interesting things, gain knowledge and support, or just relax. 拓展句: It is though short videos that people can share interesting things, gain knowledge and support, or just relax. 点睛: 【高分句型1】Watching short videos may be a waste of time because it takes up too much people’s time.(运用了because引导的原因状语从句) 【高分句型2】I think we can consider short videos as a way to relax in our free time.(运用了省略that的宾语从句) 第二节（满分25分） 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。 When I started karate (空手道) class a few years ago, I didn’t know a single person. I felt ashamed of having no idea how to do any of the moves. Even though I liked the learning part, I did not like the feeling-worse-than-everyone part! But one day after class while I was putting my shoes on, a girl named Abigail said, “That last kick we practiced is so hard for me, and you’re so good at it.” “You must have confused me with someone else,” I replied. “I’m not good at any of it.” “In that case, I’m in trouble,” she joked, “because you’re the one I stand behind and copy in class.” I laughed, “Seriously?” “Seriously!” she laughed, too. After that, we became great friends. However, a few months later when Abigail’s mom got a job in a different state and she had to move away, I was rather sad. I had a tough time going to the karate class for a while after that because I missed Abigail so much. Then, a girl named Ava joined my class. She was always quiet. Until one day we finally had a conversation. “It must be weird (怪异的) being the new one in class.” I said. “So weird!” said Ava. “You do things really differently than we did at my old dojo (柔道馆).” I suddenly realized she’d been silent only because she was new. We started talking more, and we got along so well that we started hanging out after class. Then, almost a year later, guess who showed up at karate. “This is so cool.” I said, giving Abigail a huge hug. “What are you doing here?” “My mom’s job in New York didn’t work out,” she explained. “So we got to move back.” “That’s the best news ever!” I said. “You have to meet my dear friend Ava. And Ava, meet my dear friend Abigail.” I put my arms around their shoulders. Feeling very excited, I told them I hoped we could get along well and be close friends, while Abigail and Ava stared at each other with some hesitation and an uncertain smile. 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。 Things seemed all right at first. One day, I simply could not stand it any more. 答案： Things seemed all right at first. However, with time going by, conflicts came out. Abigail always complained that every time I hung out with Ava, she was left alone, while Ava said that I paid more attention to Abigail, which drove her crazy, believing that our friendship was not what it used to be. Trapped in the dilemma, I, surrounded by the sense of sadness, still felt confused why things turned out to be that troublesome, not knowing how to deal with the problem. Worse still, karate even became the most frightening thing to me. One day, I simply could not stand it any more. With tears streaming down my cheeks, I stopped them from arguing and said with a deep sigh, “Why can’t you get along with each other well? Both of you are my best friends.” Hearing my words, they didn’t utter a single word, sinking into a deep silence. After what seemed like a century, Ava finally placed her arm with unaccustomed affection around Abigail’s shoulders. Seeing this scene, I took a breath with relief and burst into laughter. 【导语】本文以人物为线素展开，讲述了作者刚开始去学空手道的时候一个人也不认识，作者也因为不知道怎么做一些动作而感到羞愧。有一天一个叫Abigail的女孩告诉作者，作者踢腿踢得很棒，从那以后她们成了好朋友，后来Abigail搬走了，作者又认识了一个叫Ava的女孩，作者也和她成为了好朋友，后来Abigail也回来了，作者希望她们三人能相处得很好，成为亲密的朋友，而Abigail和Ava则有些犹豫地看着对方，脸上带着不确定的微笑。 【详解】1.段落续写： ③由第一段首句内容“起初一切似乎都很顺利。”可知，第一段可描写后来Abigail和Ava出现矛盾，以及作者所面临的困境。 ②由第二段首句内容“有一天，我再也无法忍受了。”可知，第二段可描写作者解决Abigail和Ava之间的矛盾。 2续写线索：出现矛盾——Abigail抱怨——Ava抓狂——作者困惑，不知如何解决问题——阻止她们争吵——作者说她们都是作者的好朋友——她们陷入沉默——拥抱——作者松了口气 3.词汇激活 行为类：①出现：emerge/appear ②阻止某人做某事：stop sb. from doing/prevent sb. from doing ③陷入沉默：sink into a deep silence/fall into a deep silence 情绪类：①伤心：sadness/sorrow ②害怕：frightening/dreadful 【点睛】 【高分句型1】 Abigail always complained that every time I hung out with Ava, she was left alone, while Ava said that I paid more attention to Abigail, which drove her crazy, believing that our friendship was not what it used to be. (由that引导的宾语从句，every time引导的时间状语从句，which引导的非限制性定语从句和what引导的表语从句) 【高分句型2】After what seemed like a century, Ava finally placed her arm with apparently unaccustomed affection around Abigail’s shoulders.

After getting caught up in the joy of the holiday and playing with her cousins, Maria realizes the ring is missing! That’s when she and her cousins come up with a plan to eat all of the tamales, in hopes of finding the ring. Together for Kwanzaa by Juwanda G. Ford, illustrated by Shelly Hehenberger This is a story about a little girl named Kayla who wants to see her older brother Khari come home so they can celebrate Kwanzaa together as a family. Khari is stuck at college when a snowstorm hits and his car breaks down. Will he make it home in time for Kwanzaa? A Child’s Christmas in Wales by Dylan Thomas, illustrated by Trina Schart Hyman This book is a funny, nostalgic tale of Christmas Eve afternoon through Christmas night in Wales, and is full of unique imagery and poetic prose. It will arouse a sense of familiarity for some young readers while introducing them to different aspects of Christmas traditions. We Are Grateful: Otsaliheliga by Traci Sorell, illustrated by Frane Lessac The word otsaliheliga is used by members of the Cherokee Nation to express gratitude.

Small for my age, and more of a bookworm than a sports lover, I had suffered that special humiliation of being picked last for various gym teams. The Field Day, which focused on individual (个体的) skills, was different. In the Softball Throw event, I got my first taste of sporting victory. Credit goes to the example of my first coach, my father. He lifted weights every morning at home. He bought us all baseball gloves and hats, and in the warm months, we spent hours playing catch. Once I got to sixth grade and switched to private school, our entire student body was assigned to either the Red or the White team. Throughout the year, we competed against each other in various games and exercises for points. I eventually became president of The Committee of Games. I also played on the field hockey team and the basketball team. And at home, playing tennis, skating, skiing and biking were simply normal things we did. During the break time, magazines were also quite popular for us teens. These regularly feature d articles on physical exercise. Somehow, my college roommate and I took up the habit of completing Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) exercises every day, a practice that continued into my marriage, when we had no spare money to use to join a gym. So, though it shocks some of our friends, that early foundation (基础) continue in adulthood into a sports and fitness focus, considered important even on vacation. I still love reading and the arts, too. As far as I'm concerned, life is the richest with my feet in both worlds. 24. What does the underlined word “humiliation” mean in Paragraph 1? A. Responsibility. B. Shock. C. Shame. D. Glory. 25. The author thought she won in the Softball Throw event because of ______. A. her confidence in her sports skills B. the efforts she put into exercising C. her advanced sports gloves and hats D. the strong influence of her father 26. What happened after the author stepped into adulthood? A. She changed the focus into reading. B. She stuck to working out. C. She regularly exercised on weekends. D. She joined Royal Canadian Air Force. 27. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To express her love for sports. B. To show her father’s guidance on sports. C. To stress the advantages of physical exercise. D. To share her childhood memories about sports. C A new observation in Sumatra caught seasoned scientists by surprise. An orangutan (红毛猩猩) known as Rakus treated a fresh wound with a medicinal plant, making this the first time an animal has been seen applying a biologically active substance (物质) for. its health benefits. This leaves scientists wondering: Did humans invent medicine, or does it pre-date our species? These animals are known to be among the most intelligent non-human primates (灵长类). They’ve been observed using tools, communicating vocally, and engaging in even more complex behaviors like calculated reciprocity, which involves aiding another orangutan with the expectation of being paid back. They can even use Skype with some help from humans. Roughly 60,000-70,000 of these creatures remain in the wild, about 15,000 of which live on the Indonesian island of Sumatra. That’s where the Suaq Project, part of the Max Planck Institute for Animal Behavior, observes orangutans in their natural habitat. The researchers noted in June that Rakus had a small wound on his face following a fight with another mature male orangutan. Several days later, Rakus did something no one had ever seen a primate do before. He began carefully picking the leaves from a climbing vine (藤蔓) known as akar kuning. Local human populations have long used these leaves for pain relief and to treat conditions like malaria. Orangutans don’t usually eat these plants: indeed, Rakus didn’t eat them. He chewed (嚼碎) them and then applied the resulting paste to his facial wound. This is the first time researchers have seen such behavior in 21 years at the Sumatran research station. Wild orangutans are rarely injured, so this may be a rare but widespread behavior. Or perhaps Rakus is the only one that knows this trick. The researchers assumed that early humans may have learned about certain treatment by observing animals engaging in similar behaviors. And here we are, thousands of generations later, still watching and wondering just how smart they are. Increasingly, it looks like orangutans are one cave painting away from civilization. 28. Why does the author mention Skype in paragraph 2? A. To support an idea. B. To draw a conclusion. C. To explain a problem. D. To present a suggestion. 29. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. How Rakus got injured. B. How Rakus treated his wound. C. What Rakus ate in the wild. D. What Rakus explored in the forest. 30. What can be inferred about the new observation? A. It proves the medical value of a plant leaf. B. It shows a widespread behavior among orangutans. C. It answers one of scientists’ questions about medicine. D. It adds evidence to show the intelligence of orangutans. 31. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. Non-human Primates Seen Using Tools in the Wild B. Orangutans Proved to Be the Most Intelligent Primate C. A Project Observes Orangutans in Their Natural Habitat D. An Orangutan Observed Applying Medicinal Plant to a Wound D For decades, scientists thought of the brain as the most valuable an consequently most closely guarded part of the body. Locked safely behind the blood brain barrier, it was broadly free of the harm of viruses and the battles started the immune system. Then, about 20 years ago, some researchers began to wonder is the brain really so separated (分离) from the body? The answer, according to growing body of evidence, is no. The list of brain conditions that have been linked with changes elsewhere in the body is long and growing. Changes in the make-up of the microorganisms in the digestive system have been linked to disorders such as Parkinson’s disease. There is also a theory that infection during pregnancy (孕期) could lead to brain disease sir babies. The effect is two-way. There is a lengthening list of symptoms (症状) not typically viewed as disorders of the nervous system, but the brain plays a large part in them. For example, the development of a fever is influenced by a population of nerve cells that control body temperature and appetite. Evidence is mounting that cancers use nerves to grow and spread. The interconnection between the brain and body has promising implications for our ability to both understand and treat illnesses. If some brain disorders start outside the brain, then perhaps treatments for them could also reach in from outside. Treatments that take effect through the digestive system, the heart or other organs, would be much easier and less risky than those that must cross the blood-brain barrier. It also works in the opposite direction. Study shows mice have healthier hearts after receiving stimulation (刺激) to a brain area involved in positive emotion and motivation. Activation of the brain reward centre—called the ventral tegmental area (VTA)—seems to cause immune changes that contribute to it. Working out how this happens could help to destroy cancers, enhance responses to vaccines (疫苗) and even re-evaluate physical diseases that, for centuries, have not been considered as being psychologically driven. 32. What do the researchers focus on about the brain? A. Its protecting system. B. Its exposure to diseases. C. Its controlling function. D. Its connection to the body. 33. How does the author support his idea in paragraph 2? A. By explaining a theory. B. By providing examples. C. By making comparisons. D. By presenting cause and effect. 34. Which best describes treatments that do not cross the blood-brain barrier? A. Cheaper. B. More specific. C. Safer. D. More direct. 35. What does the study suggest in the last paragraph? A. Brain health depends on immune changes. B. Brain stimulation leads to negative emotions. C. The brain can help enhance psychological health. D. The brain may be key to treating physical diseases. 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。 Durian (榴莲) prices in China — the world’s top market for the spiky, pungent fruit typically regarded as an expensive item — have fallen by over 30 percent this month, which delights durian lovers a lot and they even couldn’t wait to enjoy one. However, many people find it challenging and overwhelming when faced with a mountain of spiky durian stands when they are buying a satisfying durian. 36 Tap on it (not with your hand). If a durian is ripe, it should “sound like hitting a drum”, as the fruit is more hollow with gap s of air inside the fruit. 37 The seeds are sure to have loosened up when we shake a ripen durian. A darker stem means that the durian has been harvested much earlier, so, obviously, it isn’t suitable for us to choose. 38 A perfectly elliptical durian is not necessarily the most delicious! If the durian has bulging (鼓起的) sides, it is often an indication that the seeds are fleshy. If the sides are concave, it is likely the chamber is empty. Odd-shaped durians also do not mean that there is less meat. 39 It’s commonly acknowledged that larger and rounder fruits will always be drawn attention to, but as for durians, bigger is not necessarily better. 40 It’s wise of you to avoid a durian of huge size which seems delicious. You won’t miss a tasty durian for your careful choice. A. Purchasing a durian, listen out for tapping sounds. B. Next time you buy a durian, do remember to choose a bigger one. C. In addition, one must also learn to observe the shape of the durian. D. Here are a few practical tips to help you become a skilled durian picker. E. Following the tips below, you’ll find it not difficult to break off a durian. F. The perfect weight of durian is 1.5 to 2kg, which provides the best flavors. G. They are usually more fragrant (芳香的) and creamier compared to perfectly rounded durians. 第II卷（非选择题） 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Pranti Zaveri, a teacher deeply interested in financial literacy (素养), created her own programme called the life skills programme.

I felt ashamed of having no idea how to do any of the moves. Even though I liked the learning part, I did not like the feeling-worse-than-everyone part! But one day after class while I was putting my shoes on, a girl named Abigail said, “That last kick we practiced is so hard for me, and you’re so good at it.” “You must have confused me with someone else,” I replied. “I’m not good at any of it.” “In that case, I’m in trouble,” she joked, “because you’re the one I stand behind and copy in class.” I laughed, “Seriously?” “Seriously!” she laughed, too. After that, we became great friends. However, a few months later when Abigail’s mom got a job in a different state and she had to move away, I was rather sad. I had a tough time going to the karate class for a while after that because I missed Abigail so much. Then, a girl named Ava joined my class. She was always quiet. Until one day we finally had a conversation. “It must be weird (怪异的) being the new one in class.” I said. “So weird!” said Ava. “You do things really differently than we did at my old dojo (柔道馆).” I suddenly realized she’d been silent only because she was new. We started talking more, and we got along so well that we started hanging out after class. Then, almost a year later, guess who showed up at karate. “This is so cool.” I said, giving Abigail a huge hug. “What are you doing here?” “My mom’s job in New York didn’t work out,” she explained. “So we got to move back.” “That’s the best news ever!” I said. “You have to meet my dear friend Ava. And Ava, meet my dear friend Abigail.” I put my arms around their shoulders. Feeling very excited, I told them I hoped we could get along well and be close friends, while Abigail and Ava stared at each other with some hesitation and an uncertain smile. 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。 Things seemed all right at first.
