Those two minutes turned into two hours, with no ____18____ at all.

Lots of NBA players shorter than six feet (about 1.8 meters) tall have been successful. Find a coach who is willing to offer training to improve your skills. If a skill gives you trouble, practice it over and over, and ask for tips on how to better it. I want to be on a basketball team. I’ve practiced a lot. But I am too small. Elliot I like watching TV, but my mum wants me to do other things. Have any fun ideas? Benjamin Ooh, lots! Start with coming up with some ideas. What kinds of things do you enjoy most? Make a “fun-tivities” list and keep it handy for when you have no idea. Don’t know what you like? A trip to the library may help. A librarian can show you lots of hobbies and activity materials. Your mom may have suggestions for you, too, since she knows you so well. Here are a few ideas: ▲ Create a comic. Do puzzles. Make Origami. It sure can be hard to focus (集中) your attention at times—especially if a lot is going on around you. Try to find a quiet place to work. Make sure only the things you need for the task are around you. Next, set a timer (闹钟) for 15 minutes and see what you can get done. When it sounds, stand up and have a walk. Then reset the timer and continue. I get distracted (分心) easily when I’m trying to get work done. Can you help？ Izzy 28. This passage may be written for ________.

Make a ‘fun-tivities’ list and keep it handy for when you have no idea.”可知，作者建议列出自己喜欢的活动，并在不知道做什么的时候尝试这些活动，故B符合。根据“Try to find a quiet place to work. Make sure only the things you need for the task are around you.”可知，作者建议可以尝试找一个安静的地方来提高集中力，而不是说无论何时都应该独自在安静的地方做事，故C不符；根据“Next, set a timer (闹钟) for 15 minutes and see what you can get done. When it sounds, stand up and have a walk. Then reset the timer and continue.”可知，作者建议是在15分钟内尽可能多地工作，然后休息，再继续，这是一种提高工作效率和专注力的方法，故D不符。故选B。 C It was a bright sunny day in 1883. Little Albert Einstein stayed at home because he was ill. “How are you, my boy?” his father came in. “I have something for you to play with!” In his hand was a round, shiny thing. It looked a bit like a pocket watch, but its face was marked with the letters N, S, E, and W, and it only had one big hand. “This is called ‘compass’,” his father said. “No matter which way you turn it, the needle (针) always points north! Travellers use it to work out where they are in a new place!” Albert took the little device from his father and looked at it in wonder. “How does it work?” he asked finally. “Ah, it uses something called ‘magnetism’ (磁性)!” his father told him with a smile. “The needle is a magnet—and so is the Earth. That is why the needle always wants to point north—because of the magnetic field around the Earth!” Albert felt so ▲ . It was amazing to think that the needle in his compass was being influenced by something that he couldn’t see or touch ... something that was everywhere! Could it be that there were other hidden forces (力) at work in the universe (宇宙)? And if there were, what could they be? Albert soon got better. But he was still crazy about the compass and the forces that influenced it. He did a lot of tests and tried to find the rules of the universe. Albert’s family helped him. His uncle Jakob taught the boy Maths. Every Thursday, Albert’s family had a learned visitor called Max. Whenever Max came, Albert would keep on asking him questions about science. One day, Max brought Albert a series of books called People’s Books on Natural Science. The boy threw himself in these books. The more he read about the universe, the more it made sense! The most amazing thing that Albert learned about was the speed of light. “Scientists say that nothing can go faster. I bet that understanding the speed of light is very important if we want to know more about the universe. I might study that when I grow up!” he told his sister Maja one day. Albert thought a lot about magnetism, gravity (重力) and light. He wondered whether there were any ways of understanding how they all connected to each other. To find it out, he began reading more books about how everything worked. That little compass had started him on a journey of discovery—and who knew what he would find out along the way! compass 31. Which word can be put in ▲ ? A. afraid B. excited C. relaxed D. nervous 32. According to the passage, what is Albert Einstein like? A. Careful and patient. B. Creative and friendly. C. Curious and hard-working. D. Clever and modest. 33. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage? A. A Wise Father B. A Little Scientist C. The Compass of Life D. The Gift From Father 【答案】31. B 32. C 33. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，文章讲述了阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦因生病在家，父亲给他一个指南针，激发了他对科学的兴趣，特别是对光速和宇宙力量的好奇，这成为了他科学探索的起点。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据下文“It was amazing to think that the needle in his compass was being influenced by something that he couldn’t see or touch ... something that was everywhere! Could it be that there were other hidden forces (力) at work in the universe (宇宙)? And if there were, what could they be?”可知，此处描述了阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦对指南针的工作原理感到惊奇，并且开始思考宇宙中可能存在的其他隐形力量，这种对未知的探索和好奇心表明他感到兴奋。故选B。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Albert soon got better. But he was still crazy about the compass and the forces that influenced it. He did a lot of tests and tried to find the rules of the universe.”、“Albert would keep on asking him questions about science.”、“The boy threw himself in these books. The more he read about the universe, the more it made sense!”、“Albert thought a lot about magnetism, gravity (重力) and light. He wondered whether there were any ways of understanding how they all connected to each other. To find it out, he began reading more books about how everything worked.”以及结合全文可知，阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦对指南针的工作原理感到好奇，他做了很多测试，请教了很多问题，读了很多书，并且试图找出宇宙的规律。这些都表明他是一个好奇且勤奋的人。故选C。 【33题详解】 最佳标题题。根据“That little compass had started him on a journey of discovery—and who knew what he would find out along the way!”以及通读全文可知，文章讲述了阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦如何通过一个指南针开始对科学产生兴趣，并最终走上了探索宇宙的旅程。指南针在这里不仅是一个物品，更是他生活和科学探索的象征，因此选项C“人生的指南针”是最佳标题。故选C。 D When we say we’re “seeing red,” we feel angry. “Feeling blue” means we’re sad. Calling someone “yellow” means the person is afraid. People use these phrases every day. But do colours really influence our feelings? Is there a psychology (心理学) of colour? We think of colour as a result of activities in our eyes and minds, so it makes sense to believe that different colours influence our moods. Artists clearly use colours to make viewers respond (回应) to their work. Pablo Picasso’s Blue Period paintings from 1901 to 1904 express sadness after his friend Casagemas died. Other people try to manipulate us with colours. Companies use colours in ads to make us know their messages well. Product designers use colours to catch our attention to their goods. “The connection between colours and moods is so widely believed,” says psychologist, Lynn Olzak at Miami University in Ohio. “But when you actually go out and try to find research to prove, it’s not always there. We just don’t know whether it’s true or not.” What is it about colour? With the difficulties, researchers have done some research on how people respond to colours. Studies found much stronger responses (反应) to a colour’s brightness and saturation. Brightness means lightness or darkness. Saturation is how pure (纯净) a colour is. In one study, researchers from British Columbia tested responses to “Rainbow Paint” ads. Brightly coloured ads led to greater feelings of excitement and more positive (正面的) opinions of the ads. People also liked ads more when they had greater colour saturation. Colour is a huge part of our lives, so it’s possible that it influences our moods. However, researchers are a long way from making conclusions about how different colours should make us feel. At the same time, you had better decorate your room in your own favourite colours. After all, your personal tastes say a lot about what makes you happy. 34. The writer mentioned different phrases about colours in paragraph 1 to ________.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了颜色心理学研究颜色对人类行为和感觉的影响。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“When we say we’re ‘seeing red,’ we feel angry. ‘Feeling blue’ means we’re sad. Calling someone ‘yellow’ means the person is afraid. People use these phrases every day. ”可知，作者提到这些短语是为了引入主题，即颜色是否真影响我们的情感和心理。故选D。 【35题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“Other people try to manipulate us with colours. Companies use colours in ads to make us know their messages well. Product designers use colours to catch our attention to their goods.”可知，公司在广告中使用颜色让我们更好地了解他们的信息。产品设计师使用颜色来吸引我们对他们的商品的注意力。故划线单词“manipulate”意为“操纵，利用颜色达到某种目的”。故选A。 【36题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Brightly coloured ads led to greater feelings of excitement and more positive (正面的) opinions of the ads. People also liked ads more when they had greater colour saturation.”可知，明亮的颜色可以让人更兴奋，对广告有更积极的看法，故而推测出做广告时，会避免使用暗和浅的颜色。故选B。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据“At the same time, you had better decorate your room in your own favourite colours.”可知，作者建议最好用自己喜欢的颜色装饰房间。故选D。 第Ⅱ卷 主观题（共50分） 五、词汇运用（本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分） （A）根据句意和汉语注释，在答题卡对应题号的横线上，写出单词的正确形式。 38.

I ... him the time and place.”可知，已经告诉了Mr. Bates会议的时间和地点，因此需要使用现在完成时来表达这个动作已经完成，现在完成时的结构是have/has+过去分词，主语是I，用have，tell的过去分词是told。故填have told。 49. —Take care, sweet heart. —You, too, Mum. I ________ (call) you as soon as I reach the new school. 【答案】will call 【解析】 【详解】句意：——保重，甜心。——你也是，妈妈。我一到新学校就给你打电话。as soon as引导的时间状语从句遵循主将从现原则，主句用一般将来时will do。故填will call。 50.

You might be wondering what I’m talking about. These two labels (标签) come from the popular MBTI test, “P” for “Perceiving” and “J” for “Judging”. It puts people into two groups according to how they prefer to organize their outside world. Many people around me have described me as a classic (典型的) “Judging” type. I can’t live without plans. When I need to write ten articles in a week, for example, I will make a daily plan so that I can meet the deadline (截止日期). I’ve even timed my walk from the office to the nearest underground station and kept a record of when trains usually arrive. On most days, a train arrives just as I reach the station, and this brings me a great deal of happiness. I’ve met some people of “Perceiving” type. Years ago, I planned to climb Mount Hua in Shaanxi with my friends. As a “Judging” person, I planned carefully. At last, I filled my bag with ten bottles of water, plenty of mini-bread, five raincoats and so on. To my surprise, on that day, two of my friends came, empty-handed. Halfway (半途) through the journey, they got thirsty and hungry and had to depend on me for food and water. “Thanks, mate, you are a lifesaver,” one of them said. Working and travelling with people of different personality types can be challenging sometimes. However, variety (多样性) truly is the spice (趣味) of life. The mix of different personalities surely adds to it. 58. Where do “P” and “J” labels come from? _________________________________________________________ 59. Why does the writer describe himself as a classic “Judging” type? _________________________________________________________ 60. What did the writer put in his bag before the trip? (Give two examples.) _________________________________________________________ 61. Why did the writers’ friends call him a lifesaver? _________________________________________________________ 62. What do you think of a “P” person? _________________________________________________________ 【答案】58. The popular MBTI test. 59. Because he can’t live without plans. 60. Ten bottles of water and plenty of mini-bread. 61. Because they got thirsty and hungry and had to depend on him for food and water. 62. He prefers to perceive.(言之有理即可) 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了MBTI测试中的感受型人格和判断型人格。 【58题详解】 根据“These two labels come from the popular MBTI test,”可知“J”和“P”的标签来自有名的MBTI测试。故填The popular MBTI test. 【59题详解】 根据“Many people around me have described me as a classic ‘Judging’ type. I can’t live without plans. ”可知作者认为自己是典型的“J”人，因为他没有计划没办法生活。故填Because he can’t live without plans. 【60题详解】 根据“At last, I filled my bag with ten bottles of water, plenty of mini-bread, five raincoats and so on.”可知作者出行前会在包里放十瓶水、很多面包、雨衣等东西，回答两个即可。故填Ten bottles of water and plenty of mini-bread. 【61题详解】 根据“To my surprise, on that day, two of my friends came, empty-handed. Halfway through the journey, they got thirsty and hungry and had to depend on me for food and water.”可知作者的朋友出游是空手的，在他们渴了、饿了的时候，不得不依靠作者的食物和水。故填Because they got thirsty and hungry and had to depend on him for food and water. 【62题详解】 开放性试题，根据文章回答合理即可，根据“‘P’ for ‘Perceiving’”可知P人更喜欢感受。故填He prefers to perceive. 八、书面表达（本大题共20分） 63. 在人生道路上，当我们遇到困难的时候，总有些人会帮助我们改变和成长，使我们变得更好。最近无锡教育电视台正在举办以“The Person Who Changed My Life”为主题的英文演讲比赛。假设你是无锡阳光中学李华，请你根据以下思维导图完成一篇演讲稿。 The Person Who Changed My Life Your problems?

Those two minutes turned into two hours, with no ____18____ at all. As we were ready to give up, my little sister Indi and brother Tex showed up. “How come you have a large trunk?” asked Tex. “It looks like an upside-down boat!” said Indi. “Can we turn it over and pretend (假装) we are ____19____ in the sea?” “Sure,” Ollie replied. “It’s no good for anything else.” When Tex and Indi were jumping up and down on the “boat”, a screw (螺丝钉) fell onto the floor. “That’s it!” said Ollie. “Instead of unlocking the trunk, we can remove (移除) the screws to ____20____ it!” After two minutes, we were looking inside that trunk and found a number of shoes.

Size has some advantages (优点), but the sport is about how much more than that. Basketball needs different skills, such as passing and speed. Lots of NBA players shorter than six feet (about 1.8 meters) tall have been successful. Find a coach who is willing to offer training to improve your skills. If a skill gives you trouble, practice it over and over, and ask for tips on how to better it. I want to be on a basketball team. I’ve practiced a lot. But I am too small. Elliot I like watching TV, but my mum wants me to do other things. Have any fun ideas? Benjamin Ooh, lots! Start with coming up with some ideas. What kinds of things do you enjoy most? Make a “fun-tivities” list and keep it handy for when you have no idea. Don’t know what you like? A trip to the library may help. A librarian can show you lots of hobbies and activity materials. Your mom may have suggestions for you, too, since she knows you so well. Here are a few ideas: ▲ Create a comic. Do puzzles. Make Origami. It sure can be hard to focus (集中) your attention at times—especially if a lot is going on around you. Try to find a quiet place to work. Make sure only the things you need for the task are around you. Next, set a timer (闹钟) for 15 minutes and see what you can get done. When it sounds, stand up and have a walk. Then reset the timer and continue. I get distracted (分心) easily when I’m trying to get work done. Can you help？ Izzy 28. This passage may be written for ________.

Try your best to finish the task in 15 minutes. C It was a bright, sunny day in 1883. Little Albert Einstein stayed at home because he was ill. “How are you, my boy?” his father came in. “I have something for you to play with!” In his hand was a round, shiny thing. It looked a bit like a pocket watch, but its face was marked with the letters N, S, E, and W, and it only had one big hand. “This is called ‘compass’,” his father said. “No matter which way you turn it, the needle (针) always points north! Travellers use it to work out where they are in a new place!” Albert took the little device from his father and looked at it in wonder. “How does it work?” he asked finally. “Ah, it uses something called ‘magnetism’ (磁性)!” his father told him with a smile. “The needle is a magnet—and so is the Earth. That is why the needle always wants to point north—because of the magnetic field around the Earth!” Albert felt so ▲ . It was amazing to think that the needle in his compass was being influenced by something that he couldn’t see or touch ... something that was everywhere! Could it be that there were other hidden forces (力) at work in the universe (宇宙)? And if there were, what could they be? Albert soon got better. But he was still crazy about the compass and the forces that influenced it. He did a lot of tests and tried to find the rules of the universe. Albert’s family helped him. His uncle Jakob taught the boy Maths. Every Thursday, Albert’s family had a learned visitor called Max. Whenever Max came, Albert would keep on asking him questions about science. One day, Max brought Albert a series of books called People’s Books on Natural Science. The boy threw himself in these books. The more he read about the universe, the more it made sense! The most amazing thing that Albert learned about was the speed of light. “Scientists say that nothing can go faster. I bet that understanding the speed of light is very important if we want to know more about the universe. I might study that when I grow up!” he told his sister Maja one day. Albert thought a lot about magnetism, gravity (重力) and light. He wondered whether there were any ways of understanding how they all connected to each other. To find it out, he began reading more books about how everything worked. That little compass had started him on a journey of discovery—and who knew what he would find out along the way! compass 31.

The Gift From Father D When we say we’re “seeing red,” we feel angry. “Feeling blue” means we’re sad. Calling someone “yellow” means the person is afraid. People use these phrases every day. But do colours really influence our feelings? Is there a psychology (心理学) of colour? We think of colour as a result of activities in our eyes and minds, so it makes sense to believe that different colours influence our moods. Artists clearly use colours to make viewers respond (回应) to their work. Pablo Picasso’s Blue Period paintings from 1901 to 1904 express sadness after his friend Casagemas died. Other people try to manipulate us with colours. Companies use colours in ads to make us know their messages well. Product designers use colours to catch our attention to their goods. “The connection between colours and moods is so widely believed,” says psychologist, Lynn Olzak at Miami University in Ohio. “But when you actually go out and try to find research to prove, it’s not always there. We just don’t know whether it’s true or not.” What is it about colour? With the difficulties, researchers have done some research on how people respond to colours. Studies found much stronger responses (反应) to a colour’s brightness and saturation. Brightness means lightness or darkness. Saturation is how pure (纯净) a colour is. In one study, researchers from British Columbia tested responses to “Rainbow Paint” ads. Brightly coloured ads led to greater feelings of excitement and more positive (正面的) opinions of the ads. People also liked ads more when they had greater colour saturation. Colour is a huge part of our lives, so it’s possible that it influences our moods. However, researchers are a long way from making conclusions about how different colours should make us feel. At the same time, you had better decorate your room in your own favourite colours. After all, your personal tastes say a lot about what makes you happy. 34. The writer mentioned different phrases about colours in paragraph 1 to ________.

You might be wondering what I’m talking about. These two labels (标签) come from the popular MBTI test, “P” for “Perceiving” and “J” for “Judging”. It puts people into two groups according to how they prefer to organize their outside world. Many people around me have described me as a classic (典型的) “Judging” type. I can’t live without plans. When I need to write ten articles in a week, for example, I will make a daily plan so that I can meet the deadline (截止日期). I’ve even timed my walk from the office to the nearest underground station and kept a record of when trains usually arrive. On most days, a train arrives just as I reach the station, and this brings me a great deal of happiness. I’ve met some people of “Perceiving” type. Years ago, I planned to climb Mount Hua in Shaanxi with my friends. As a “Judging” person, I planned carefully. At last, I filled my bag with ten bottles of water, plenty of mini-bread, five raincoats and so on. To my surprise, on that day, two of my friends came, empty-handed. Halfway (半途) through the journey, they got thirsty and hungry and had to depend on me for food and water. “Thanks, mate, you are a lifesaver,” one of them said. Working and travelling with people of different personality types can be challenging sometimes. However, variety (多样性) truly is the spice (趣味) of life. The mix of different personalities surely adds to it. 58. Where do “P” and “J” labels come from? _________________________________________________________ 59.
