M: Wow, that’s an impressive list. I’ve already decided to study at King’s College London. I just want to attend a college close to my home. W: I see. I just made a list of the world’s top medical schools. M: Are any of your family members doctors? I’m glad you’ve decided on that major. W: None of my relatives, actually. I recently picked this subject. I just volunteered at a local hospital — this experience influenced all my plans. M: That’s a perfect experience to use for applying for scholarships. Many programs reward high school students for their volunteer work. W: So, should I apply by writing essays or having an interview? M: Write about your experience! About eight months ago, I wrote an essay about my career plans. I sent this essay to over five colleges. Then, I was accepted into a scholarship program four months ago! 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 18. Where is the talk being given? A. At a charity event. B. At a museum in Xi’an. C. In a new school. 19. In what way is the team’s digging strategy different? A. They help experts in science. B. They research ancient statues. C. They study history and culture. 20 Who will speak next? A. A student. B. A soldier. C. A scientist. 【答案】18. A 19. C 20. C 【解析】 【原文】W: Thanks, everyone. I feel so inspired to donate to educational projects. For my speech, I’d like to introduce my work in historical discoveries. This topic is different from other speeches tonight. But it fits the theme of tonight’s charity event for children. We’ll provide a special history course for all students in the new school we’re building using donations. My team focuses on historical digging. We have helped experts in history worldwide make incredible discoveries. I do most of my work outside the United States. In fact, I spent most of my time in Italy. But my most exciting project was researching Terracotta Army in Xi’an, China. Although these ancient statues were first found by farmers decades ago, they quickly became one of the world’s most unique historical sites. There, over 8000 well-preserved warriors offer a clear view of what soldiers looked like over 2,000 years ago! The most important part of my team’s strategy is learning about the land we’re investigating. Indeed, researching culture and history was the biggest change to my team’s digging strategy. Well, thank you for listening. And let’s hear it for our next speaker, a science expert, who’ll present her impressive work! 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和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A Four of the world’s greatest national parks Komodo Location: Indonesia Area: 1, 733km2 Home to the world’s largest lizard (蜥蜴), the Komodo dragon, Komodo National Park is made up of 29 islands in the centre of the Indonesian archipelago (群岛). The park’s three main islands of Komodo, Rinca and Padar make ideal destinations for divers, as the surrounding coral reefs support a vast amount of oceanic diversity. With over 1, 000 species of fish, 260 species of coral, and countless sea animals, this is an ideal spot to swim with sharks, whales, dolphins and more. Namib-Naukluft Location：Namibia Area: 49, 768km2 In the world’s oldest desert, the landscape moves. The golden dunes shift as winds blow and seasons pass. Visitors come to explore the dunes and it can be a real adventure. Jump in a 4×4 or hike across the sands on foot for a multi-day trail and you’ll soon find yourself deep in the Namibian wilderness. You’ll need a permit and doctor’s letter to take on the longer hikes, but one-day hikes give anyone a chance to see more of the Namib. Tongariro Location: New Zealand Area: 795km2 As New Zealand’s oldest national park, Tongariro National Park is home to three active volcanoes. And here’s the Tongariro. Alpine Crossing, a 19.4-kilometre hike that takes you across beautiful landscapes. This park also draws in skiers during the winter seasons. The biggest ski area, Whakapapa, covers 5.5km2 and has 15 lifts in all. Teide Location: Tenerife, Spain Area: 190km2 This park is home to Mount Teide, the highest peak in Spain. With a height of 3,718 metres, Mount Teide is also the third largest volcanic structure on the planet. Besides, Teide National Park possesses unique plants. The most unusual among the 139 recorded species is red bugloss, which has become the symbol of the park. 21. What can visitors do in Komodo National Park? A. Hike across the biggest ski area Whakapapa. B. Go diving on its 29 islands. C. Have an up-close encounter with ocean life. D. Play with the Komodo dragon. 22. Which of the following parks is the biggest? A. Teide National Park. B. Komodo National Park. C. Tongariro National Park. D. Namib-Naukluft National Park. 23. What do the last two parks have in common? A. Both are well-known for their volcanoes. B. Both own more than 100 plant species. C. Both ate perfect choices for skiers. D. Both feature golden dunes. 【答案】21. C 22. D 23. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了世界上最大的四个国家公园。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据Komodo中的“With over 1, 000 species of fish, 260 species of coral, and countless sea animals, this is an ideal spot to swim with sharks, whales, dolphins and more. (这里有1000多种鱼类、260种珊瑚和数不清的海洋动物，是与鲸鱼、海豚等一起游泳的理想场所。)”可知，游客在科莫多国家公园可以近距离接触海洋生物。故选C。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章每一部分的开头进行判断。“Komodo Area:1,733 km2 (Komodo 面积：1733平方公里)”，“Namib-Naukluft Area: 49,768km2(Namib-Naukluft 面积：49768平方公里)，“Tongariro Area:795km2 (Tongariro面积：795平方公里)”，“Teide Area:190km2 (Teide 面积：190平方公里)”可知，Namib-Naukluft国家公园是最大的。故选D。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Tongariro中的“As New Zealand’s oldest national park, Tongariro National Park is home to three active volcanoes.(作为新西兰最古老的国家公园，Tongariro国家公园是三座活火山的所在地。)”以及Teide中的“Mount Teide is also the third largest volcanic structure on the planet.  (Teide山也是地球上第三大火山结构。)”可知，最后两个公园有的共同点是两者都以火山闻名。故选A。 B In medical school and throughout his career as a neonatologist, William Cashore was often asked to read and correct others’ work. Little did they know that he was a spelling champion, with a trophy at home to prove it. Cashore won the Scripps National Spelling Bee in 1954 at age 14. Now 84, he’s the oldest living champion of the contest, which dates back to 1925. As contestants from this year’s competition headed home, he reflected on his experience and the effect it had on him. Cashore credits his parents for helping him prepare for his trip to Washington, D.C., for the spelling bee. His mother was an elementary school teacher and his father was a lab technician with a talent for taking words apart and putting them back together. When the field narrowed to two competitors, the other boy misspelle “uncinate”, which means bent like a hook. Cashore spelled it correctly, then clinched the title with the word “transept”, an architectural term for the transverse part of a cross-shaped church. Cashore, who was given $500 and an encyclopedia set, enjoyed a brief turn as a celebrity. He didn’t brag about his accomplishment after returning to Pennsylvania, but the experience quietly shaped him in multiple ways. “It gave me much more self-confidence and also gave me a sense that it’s very important to try to get things as correct as possible,” he said. “I’ve always been that way, and I still feel that way. If people are careless about spelling and writing, you wonder if they’re careless about their thinking.” “Preparing for a spelling bee today requires more concentration and technique than it did decades ago,” Cashore said. “The vocabulary of the words are far, far more technical. The English language, in the meantime, has imported a great many words from foreign languages which were not part of the English language when I was in eighth grade,” he added. 24. What can we learn about Cashore from the first two paragraphs? A. He is the best ever spelling champion. B. He prepared alone for the spelling bee. C. He used his spelling ability to help others. D. He preferred to show off his spelling talent. 25. What does the word “clinched” underlined in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Won. B. Declined. C. Removed. D. Gave. 26. How did the spelling bee competition affect Cashore? A. It helped him start his career. B. It strengthened his confidence. C. It limited his way of thinking. D. It brought him lasting popularity. 27. Which of the following is NOT a recommendation made by Cashore for preparing for today’s spelling bee? A. Enhance concentration. B. Learn technical vocabulary. C. Try to improve relevant skills. D. Learn multiple languages. 【答案】24. C 25. A 26. B 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了拼写冠军William Cashore的拼写经历以及他对拼写比赛的影响和看法。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“In medical school and throughout his career as a neonatologist, William Cashore was often asked to read and correct others’ work. Little did they know that he was a spelling champion (在医学院以及他作为新生儿科医生的整个职业生涯中，威廉・卡索尔经常被要求阅读和改正他人的作品。他们几乎不知道他是一个拼写冠军)”可知，Cashore是拼写冠军，他利用自己的拼写能力帮助别人改正作品。故选C项。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词前文“the other boy misspelle “uncinate”, which means bent like a hook. (另一个男孩把 “uncinate” 拼错了，这个词的意思是像钩子一样弯曲)”和划线词所在部分“Cashore spelled it correctly, then clinched the title with the word ‘transept’ (Cashore把它拼对了，然后用“transept”这个词clinched冠军)”可知，Cashore正确地拼写出了“uncinate”和“transept”两个词，从而赢得了拼写比赛的冠军，所以画线词clinched的意思是“赢得”，与A项“Won”同义。故选A项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“It gave me much more self-confidence (它给了我更多的自信)”可知，拼写比赛增强了Cashore的自信。故选B项。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Preparing for a spelling bee today requires more concentration and technique than it did decades ago (今天准备拼写比赛需要比几十年前更多的专注力和技巧)”和“The vocabulary of the words are far, far more technical. (单词的词汇要远远更加专业)”可知，Cashore建议为今天的拼写比赛做准备要增强专注力，学习专业词汇，并努力提高相关技能。D项“Learn multiple languages (学习多种语言)”不是他的建议。故选D项。 C “Tie an Italian’s hands behind his back,” runs an old joke, “and he’ll be speechless.” This rests on a national stereotype: Italians are talkative and emotional, and all that arm-waggling supposedly goes to prove it. Susan Goldin-Meadow of the University of Chicago has a rather different view. Emotions come out in lots of ways: facial expressions, posture, tone of voice and so on. But people are doing something different when they use gestures with speech, which she sums up in the title of her new book, “Thinking with Your Hands”. It is a masterly tour through a lifetime’s research. Virtually everyone gestures, not just Italians. Experimental subjects, told after a research session that they were being watched for gestures, apologize for not having made any — but were doing so the entire time. People born blind gesture when they speak, including to each other. A woman born without arms but with “phantom limb syndrome (幻肢综合征)” describes how she uses her phantom arms when she talks — but not when she walks. All this suggests that cognition is, to some extent, “embodied”; thinking is not all done in your head. In fact, gestures that accompany speech are a second channel of information. Subjects watch a film in which a cat runs but are told to lie and say it jumped. They do so in words — while their hands make a running motion. People who say they believe in sexual equality but gesture with their hands lower when talking about women are not indicating women’s height; they can be shown to have biases of which they may be unaware. In “The Crown”, a historical drama series, Lady Diana is warned that her hands may betray her real emotions, which could be dangerous; they are tied together so she can learn to speak without gesticulating. No one who reads Susan’s book could ever again think that gesturing shows only a lack of control. It is about thinking and communication, and is a sophisticated aid to both. 28. Why does the author mention the old joke in Paragraph 1? A. To present an argument. B. To describe a scene. C. To lead in the topic. D. To clarify a doubt. 29. Which statement will Susan Goldin-Meadow probably agree with? A. The disabled seldom use gestures. B. Gestures literally embody cognition. C. Thinking only occurs inside the brain. D. Gestures are improper in communication. 30. What does the author try to prove in the last two paragraphs? A. Gestures may express what the speaker really thinks. B. People are unaware of the meanings of their gestures. C. Gesturing during speech shows only a lack of control. D. Speakers can lie more easily with the help of gestures. 31. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Speech: A Direct Channel of Information B. Gestures: A Vital Form of Communication C. Italian’s Body Language: A National Stereotype D. Thinking with Your Hands: A Lifetime’s Research 【答案】28. C 29. B 30. A 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了芝加哥大学的苏珊·戈尔丁-梅多的新的研究发现，她认为情绪以多种方式表现出来：面部表情、姿势、语调等等。但是，当人们在说话时使用手势时，他们的行为是不同的。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段““Tie an Italian’s hands behind his back,” runs an old joke, “and he’ll be speechless.” This rests on a national stereotype: Italians are talkative and emotional, and all that arm-waggling supposedly goes to prove it. (“把意大利人的手绑在背后，”一个老笑话说，“他会哑口无言。”这是基于一个民族的刻板印象：意大利人健谈、情绪化，所有的握手都被认为是证明这一点的证据。)”以及第二段“But people are doing something different when they use gestures with speech, which she sums up in the title of her new book, “Thinking with Your Hands”. It is a masterly tour through a lifetime’s research. (但是，当人们在说话时使用手势时，他们的行为是不同的，她在新书的标题中总结了这一点，“用你的手思考”。这是一次对一生研究的精湛之旅。)”可知，作者在第一段提到关于意大利的老笑话是为了引出本文的主题——手势在交流中的重要性。故选C。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Susan Goldin-Meadow of the University of Chicago has a rather different view. Emotions come out in lots of ways: facial expressions, posture, tone of voice and so on. But people are doing something different when they use gestures with speech, which she sums up in the title of her new book, “Thinking with Your Hands”. It is a masterly tour through a lifetime’s research. (芝加哥大学的Susan Goldin-Meadow有不同的看法。情绪以多种方式表现出来：面部表情、姿势、语调等等。但是，当人们在说话时使用手势时，他们的行为是不同的，她在新书的标题中总结了这一点，“用你的手思考”。这是一次对一生研究的精湛之旅。)”可知，Susan Goldin-Meadow认为人们在使用手势与语言时实际上在做一些不同的事情，并强调手势是思考和交流的一部分。她通过“用你的手思考”这个书名也表达了类似的观点，即手势在某种程度上体现了认知。故选B。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“In fact, gestures that accompany speech are a second channel of information. Subjects watch a film in which a cat runs but are told to lie and say it jumped. They do so in words—while their hands make a running motion. People who say they believe in sexual equality but gesture with their hands lower when talking about women are not indicating women’s height; they can be shown to have biases of which they may be unaware. (事实上，伴随着说话的手势是第二种信息渠道。研究对象观看了一部电影，电影中有一只猫在跑，但被要求撒谎说它是跳下来的。他们用语言来表达，而他们的手做着奔跑的动作。那些说自己相信男女平等，但在谈论女性时把手放低的人并不是在暗示女性的身高；他们可能会表现出自己可能没有意识到的偏见。)”可知，作者通过举例和解释来论证手势可能表达说话者真正的想法。故选A。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“No one who reads Susan’s book could ever again think that gesturing shows only a lack of control. It is about thinking and communication, and is a sophisticated aid to both. (读过Susan这本书的人再也不会认为手势只是缺乏控制的表现。它是关于思考和交流的，是对两者的复杂辅助。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要讨论了手势作为一种重要的交流形式，在语言和思考中所扮演的角色。从文章开头提到的意大利人的笑话，到Susan Goldin-Meadow教授的观点，再到各种实验和实例的引用，都旨在强调手势在交流中的不可或缺的地位。因此，标题应该突出手势作为交流的一种重要形式，选项B“Gestures: A Vital Form of Communication (手势：一种重要的交流形式)”最符合文章的中心思想。故选B。 D Scientists have made a “breakthrough” in handling nuclear fusion (聚变). The US Department of Energy officially announced the milestone in fusion energy research. For the first time, researchers created a nuclear fusion reaction that produced more energy than they put into the process. The experiment, conducted at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California, generated 3.15 megajoules of energy, more than the 2.05 megajoules put into creating it. Nuclear fusion works by forcing together two atoms-most often hydrogen-to make a heavier one-like helium (氦). This explosive process releases massive amounts of energy, the Department of Energy explains. Fusion is the opposite of fission (裂变), the reaction that powers nuclear reactors used commercially today. Fusion occurs naturally in the heart of the Sun and the stars, providing these cosmic (宇宙的) objects with fuel. Since the 1950s, scientists have been trying to reproduce it on Earth in order to make use of the so-called clean, cheap, and almost limitless electricity. According to the International Atomic Energy Agency, fusion generates four times more energy per kilogram than the fission used to power nuclear plants, and nearly 4 million times more energy than burning oil or coal. What’s more, unlike fossil fuels, fusion doesn’t release carbon dioxide the greenhouse gas that’s the main driver of climate change-into the atmosphere. And unlike nuclear fission, fusion doesn’t create long-lived radioactive waste, according to the Department of Energy. But so far, nuclear fusion hasn’t solved our energy problems on a grand scale. The recent announcement is a huge step forward in nuclear fusion energy, but applying the technology at commercial scale is likely still years away. Chanda Prescod Weinstein, a theoretical physicist, pointed out that the process the Department of Energy uses requires tritium (氚), a rare and radioactive isotope (同位素)of hydrogen. “It may yet convey important information that is ultimately transformative. We don’t know yet,” Prescod Weinstein tweeted. Investors, including Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, have poured billions into clean energy field trying to make fusion commercially workable, and the recent announcement is likely to continue that trend. 32. What is the breakthrough in nuclear fusion reaction? A It releases massive amounts of energy. B. It produces 3. 15 megajoules of energy. C. It works by forcing together two atoms. D. It generates more energy than that put into it. 33. Why have scientists been conducting nuclear fusion experiments? A. To avoid the commercial use of fission. B. To recycle the byproduct of radioactive waste. C. To reduce emission (排放) of greenhouse gas. D. To aim for the high efficiency in producing energy. 34. What does paragraph 5 focus on? A. The attitude of investors. B. The prospect of fusion energy. C. The significance of the announcement. D. The difficulty in producing fusion energy. 35. What is the author’s attitude towards fusion energy? A. Critical. B. Negative. C. Optimistic. D. Doubtful. 【答案】32. D 33. D 34. B 35. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，介绍科学家们在核聚变反应上取得的突破，同时也科普了核聚变的原理，强调了它在能源制造上的价值以及其对未来的意义。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“For the first time, researchers created a nuclear fusion reaction that produced more energy than they put into the process. (研究人员第一次创造了一种核聚变反应，其产生的能量比他们投入的能量还要多)”可知，这一巨大突破是指首次产生了能量产出大于投入的核聚变反应，故选D。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段的“Since the 1950s, scientists have been trying to reproduce it on Earth in order to make use of the so-called clean, cheap, and almost limitless electricity. According to the International Atomic Energy Agency, fusion generates four times more energy per kilogram than the fission used to power nuclear plants, and nearly 4 million times more energy than burning oil or coal.(自20世纪50年代以来，科学家们一直试图在地球上重现这种现象，以便利用所谓的清洁、廉价和几乎无限的电力。根据国际原子能机构的数据，聚变每千克产生的能量是用于核电站的裂变的四倍，比燃烧石油或煤炭产生的能量多出近400万倍)”可知，科学家们一直致力于在地球上实验核聚变，目的在于利用这种清洁、廉价、无限的能源，使其效能更高，故选D。 【34题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段的“The recent announcement is a huge step forward in nuclear fusion energy, but applying the technology at commercial scale is likely still years away.(最近的宣布是核聚变能源领域向前迈出的一大步，但在商业规模上应用这项技术可能还需要几年的时间)”和““It may yet convey important information that is ultimately transformative. We don’t know yet, ” Prescod Weinstein tweeted. Investors, including Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, have poured billions into clean energy field trying to make fusion commercially workable, and the recent announcement is likely to continue that trend.(“它还可能传达最终具有变革性的重要信息。我们还不知道，”Prescod Weinstein在推特上写道。包括亚马逊创始人杰夫·贝佐斯在内的投资者已经向清洁能源领域投入了数十亿美元，试图使聚变在商业上可行，而最近的宣布很可能会延续这一趋势)”可知，本段主要聚焦对核聚变技术的前景的看法，故选B。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The US Department of Energy officially announced the milestone in fusion energy research.(美国能源部正式宣布了聚变能源研究的里程碑)”和第五段的“The recent announcement is a huge step forward in nuclear fusion energy (最近的宣布是核聚变能源领域向前迈出的一大步)”以及“Investors, including Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, have poured billions into clean energy field trying to make fusion commercially workable, and the recent announcement is likely to continue that trend.(包括亚马逊创始人杰夫·贝佐斯在内的投资者已经向清洁能源领域投入了数十亿美元，试图使聚变在商业上可行，而最近的宣布很可能会延续这一趋势)”推知，作者对核聚变能量持乐观态度，故选C。 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Maybe you are probably getting an earful (训斥) from your inner voice. ___36___. Here are several ways to change your self- talk script and to use your inner voices to perform better. Listen critically to your inner critic In high- pressure situations, self- talk is often critical. Instead of thinking deliberately and logically, our inner voices are caused by emotion. That influences everything from how we talk to ourselves to our behaviors. ___37___. And when your inner voices start to fill with words of frustration and discouragement, pause the conversation as you consider ways to change it. Create psychological distance from yourself One effective way to manage stress is to create psychological distance. This can be achieved by using second- or third- person pronouns when referring to the situation. Asking yourself,“ Why are you feeling so stressed?” is one way to create the psychological distance you need to regulate emotion. ___38___. Fit your conversation to your goal ___39___. Instructional self- talk like“ shoulders back” or“ keep the left arm straight” works to improve technique. Motivational self-talk such as“ you’ve got this” or“ keep going” can help with confidence, strength, or endurance. It’s important to be aware of the type of self-talk you are using and make sure it aligns with your goals and needs. ___40___ Demeaning or negative self- talk is only going to increase your stress and hold you back. Instead, speak compassionately to yourself — just as you would to a friend. Recreate negative messages to include positive content. “I am not good at this.” can be changed to“ Relax. You are prepared for this.” “I don’t know what to say.” can be replaced by“ Remember to smile and ask good questions.” A. Treat yourself as a friend B. Make as many friends as possible C. Using instructional language is appropriate D. Different types of self- talk work best for specific goals E. So your first step is to listen critically to what you are saying to yourself F. Often, negative comments in your head make it difficult for you to succeed G. This way you might find your task an interesting challenge instead of a threat 【答案】36. F 37. E 38. G 39. D 40. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了几种帮助改善自我对话进而提升个人表现的方法，旨在引导学生注重与自我的沟通，从而更好地实现自己的目标。 【36题详解】 根据空前句“Maybe you are probably getting an earful (训斥) from your inner voice.(也许你可能听到了内心训斥的声音)”提到你可能从内心的声音中听到了长时间的数落；空后“Here are several ways to change your self- talk script and to use your inner voices to perform better.(这里有几个方法来改变你的自我对话脚本，用你内心的声音来表现得更好。)”可知，这里有几种方法可以改变你的自我对话脚本，并利用你的内心声音让你表现得更好。设空处位于段中，应承上启下。F项中的“ negative comments in your head”与空前句中的“ an earful from your inner voice”相呼应，且其中的“ make it difficult for you to succeed”与空后句中的“ perform better”相呼应。 因此，F选项“Often, negative comments in your head make it difficult for you to succeed(通常，你头脑中的负面评论会让你很难成功)”衔接上下文。故选F。 【37题详解】 根据后文“And when your inner voices start to fill with words of frustration and discouragement, pause the conversation as you consider ways to change it.(当你内心的声音开始充满沮丧和沮丧时，暂停谈话，考虑改变它的方法)”中提取的关系词“And”可知，设空处与空后句构成并列关系。空前句“In high- pressure situations, self- talk is often critical. Instead of thinking deliberately and logically, our inner voices are caused by emotion. That influences everything from how we talk to ourselves to our behaviors.(在压力很大的情况下，自言自语往往是至关重要的。我们内心的声音是由情感引起的，而不是有意识地、合乎逻辑地思考。这影响了从我们如何自言自语到我们的行为)”与内心的声音的消极影响相关，空后句与应对内心的声音的做法有关。根据设空处与空后句的并列关系可知，设空处锁定在E项。E项还与空前句构成因果关系，且该项中的“critically”是对小标题中的“critically”和段首句中的“critical”的原词及同根词复现。E选项“So your first step is to listen critically to what you are saying to yourself(因此，你的第一步是批判性地倾听你对自己说的话)”符合语境。故选E。 【38题详解】 根据空前内容“One effective way to manage stress is to create psychological distance. This can be achieved by using second- or third- person pronouns when referring to the situation. Asking yourself,“ Why are you feeling so stressed?” is one way to create the psychological distance you need to regulate emotion.(管理压力的一个有效方法是创造心理距离。这可以通过使用第二人称或第三人称代词来实现。问自己：“为什么你感到这么有压力?”是一种创造心理距离的方法，你需要这种距离来调节情绪)”提到应对压力的一个有效方法是创造心理距离，并举例说明“问自己‘为什么你感到压力如此之大？’”是一种创造调节情绪所需的心理距离的方法。因此，设空处位于段尾，应能承接上文，与空前句提到的创造心理距离的方法相关，G选项“This way you might find your task an interesting challenge instead of a threat(这样你会发现你的任务是一个有趣的挑战而不是威胁)”说明了使用该方法的好处，且其中的“ This way”指代的正是空前句中的“Asking yourself, “Why are you feeling so stressed?””。故选G。 【39题详解】 根据本段小标题“Fit your conversation to your goal(让你的对话符合你的目标)”可知，本段内容与不同自我对话类型和目标之间的联系相关。因此，设空处也应与此相关，故将答案锁定在D选项“Different types of self- talk work best for specific goals(不同类型的自言自语对特定的目标效果最好)”，其中的“goals”是对小标题中的“goal”的同词复现。故选D。 【40题详解】 根据本段内容“Demeaning or negative self- talk is only going to increase your stress and hold you back. Instead, speak compassionately to yourself — just as you would to a friend. Recreate negative messages to include positive content. “I am not good at this.” can be changed to“ Relax. You are prepared for this.” “I don’t know what to say.” can be replaced by“ Remember to smile and ask good questions.”(贬低或消极的自言自语只会增加你的压力，阻碍你前进。相反，你应该同情地对自己说话——就像对朋友说话一样。重新创造负面信息以包含积极内容。“我不擅长这个。可以改成“放轻松。”你已经准备好了。”“我不知道该说什么。可以用“记得微笑，问好问题”来代替)”可知，本段建议人们不要进行贬低性的或消极的自我对话，而要像对待朋友那样对自己说积极的话，A选项“Treat yourself as a friend(把自己当成朋友)”能很好地概括本段主旨。故选A。 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I remember a moment when I felt like everything was falling apart.

You probably know the entire play off by heart. You are the best person for Cinderella.” he encouraged. I knew he was joking, but the truth was, I could tell you every single line (台词) in the play. When we reached the hall on Thursday, I began to wish I hadn’t signed up to be Cinderella. It was easier to feel hopeful several days ago when my name was the only one on the sign-up sheet. Since then, seven other girls have added their own names to the list, including Sherry Anderson, the head cheerleader (拉拉队长). Luckily, we were given a moment to practice before the auditions began. “Good,” Mr Cordoza said approvingly as he stopped by and listened to my practice. I felt a glimmer of hope. “Now let’s see how you get on performing on the stage in front of everyone.” He clapped his hands for attention, signaling the start of the auditions. Sherry Anderson was up first. She showed great confidence as she tossed her long blonde hair and recited her lines. Although she lacked an understanding of the lines, her performance was attractive. Then it was my turn. As I climbed the stairs to the stage, I tripped, nearly falling flat on my face. I felt my cheeks burning. “When you’re ready,” Mr Cordoza said, sounding impatient. “Sorry,” I mumbled. I tried to calm my breathing, but the nerves tightened in my throat. “I...I…” I stuttered. ‘Speak up Amy, can’t hear you!’ jeers and whistles came from the back of the hall. I could feel that my performance was a disaster. Even Sherry’s lines were better than mine. Finally, I limped to the end of the scene, and as soon as it was over, I rushed off the stage, feeling defeated. As I made my way through the hallway, I spotted Artie waiting for me. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150左右； （2）请按如下格式作答。 He told me that Sherry got the role of Cinderella but I would be the understudy (替角). ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the day of the performance, Sherry got sick and couldn’t come. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】He told me that Sherry got the role of Cinderella but I would be the understudy (替角). At the news, I sighed and forced a smile. Sensing my disappointment, Artie put his hand on my shoulder and encouraged, “Seize the chance and you can shine too. Believe in yourself!” His words giving me a burst of confidence, I nodded admittedly, determined to be the best understudy. In the following days, I spent hours every day rehearsing my lines, perfecting my expressions and practicing each act. Gradually, I grew more confident and was fully prepared for the possibility of stepping onto the stage if needed. On the day of the performance, Sherry got sick and couldn’t come. Panic filled the air backstage. Calm outside but nervous inside, I took a deep breath and stepped forward. All those days of hard work and preparation had led to this moment. As the curtains rose, I walked onto the stage with a newfound courage. The lights shone on me, and I delivered my lines with full of passion and confidence. With the music fading away, the audience broke into thunderous applause. At that very moment, I knew I fulfilled my mission as an understudy.

The park’s three main islands of Komodo, Rinca and Padar make ideal destinations for divers, as the surrounding coral reefs support a vast amount of oceanic diversity. With over 1, 000 species of fish, 260 species of coral, and countless sea animals, this is an ideal spot to swim with sharks, whales, dolphins and more. Namib-Naukluft Location：Namibia Area: 49, 768km2 In the world’s oldest desert, the landscape moves. The golden dunes shift as winds blow and seasons pass. Visitors come to explore the dunes and it can be a real adventure. Jump in a 4×4 or hike across the sands on foot for a multi-day trail and you’ll soon find yourself deep in the Namibian wilderness. You’ll need a permit and doctor’s letter to take on the longer hikes, but one-day hikes give anyone a chance to see more of the Namib. Tongariro Location: New Zealand Area: 795km2 As New Zealand’s oldest national park, Tongariro National Park is home to three active volcanoes. And here’s the Tongariro.

B In medical school and throughout his career as a neonatologist, William Cashore was often asked to read and correct others’ work. Little did they know that he was a spelling champion, with a trophy at home to prove it. Cashore won the Scripps National Spelling Bee in 1954 at age 14. Now 84, he’s the oldest living champion of the contest, which dates back to 1925. As contestants from this year’s competition headed home, he reflected on his experience and the effect it had on him. Cashore credits his parents for helping him prepare for his trip to Washington, D.C., for the spelling bee. His mother was an elementary school teacher and his father was a lab technician with a talent for taking words apart and putting them back together. When the field narrowed to two competitors, the other boy misspelle “uncinate”, which means bent like a hook. Cashore spelled it correctly, then clinched the title with the word “transept”, an architectural term for the transverse part of a cross-shaped church. Cashore, who was given $500 and an encyclopedia set, enjoyed a brief turn as a celebrity. He didn’t brag about his accomplishment after returning to Pennsylvania, but the experience quietly shaped him in multiple ways. “It gave me much more self-confidence and also gave me a sense that it’s very important to try to get things as correct as possible,” he said. “I’ve always been that way, and I still feel that way. If people are careless about spelling and writing, you wonder if they’re careless about their thinking.” “Preparing for a spelling bee today requires more concentration and technique than it did decades ago,” Cashore said. “The vocabulary of the words are far, far more technical. The English language, in the meantime, has imported a great many words from foreign languages which were not part of the English language when I was in eighth grade,” he added. 24. What can we learn about Cashore from the first two paragraphs? A. He is the best ever spelling champion. B. He prepared alone for the spelling bee. C. He used his spelling ability to help others. D. He preferred to show off his spelling talent. 25. What does the word “clinched” underlined in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Won. B. Declined. C. Removed. D. Gave. 26. How did the spelling bee competition affect Cashore? A. It helped him start his career. B. It strengthened his confidence. C. It limited his way of thinking. D. It brought him lasting popularity. 27. Which of the following is NOT a recommendation made by Cashore for preparing for today’s spelling bee? A. Enhance concentration. B. Learn technical vocabulary. C. Try to improve relevant skills. D. Learn multiple languages. C “Tie an Italian’s hands behind his back,” runs an old joke, “and he’ll be speechless.” This rests on a national stereotype: Italians are talkative and emotional, and all that arm-waggling supposedly goes to prove it. Susan Goldin-Meadow of the University of Chicago has a rather different view. Emotions come out in lots of ways: facial expressions, posture, tone of voice and so on. But people are doing something different when they use gestures with speech, which she sums up in the title of her new book, “Thinking with Your Hands”. It is a masterly tour through a lifetime’s research. Virtually everyone gestures, not just Italians. Experimental subjects, told after a research session that they were being watched for gestures, apologize for not having made any — but were doing so the entire time. People born blind gesture when they speak, including to each other. A woman born without arms but with “phantom limb syndrome (幻肢综合征)” describes how she uses her phantom arms when she talks — but not when she walks. All this suggests that cognition is, to some extent, “embodied”; thinking is not all done in your head. In fact, gestures that accompany speech are a second channel of information. Subjects watch a film in which a cat runs but are told to lie and say it jumped. They do so in words — while their hands make a running motion. People who say they believe in sexual equality but gesture with their hands lower when talking about women are not indicating women’s height; they can be shown to have biases of which they may be unaware. In “The Crown”, a historical drama series, Lady Diana is warned that her hands may betray her real emotions, which could be dangerous; they are tied together so she can learn to speak without gesticulating. No one who reads Susan’s book could ever again think that gesturing shows only a lack of control. It is about thinking and communication, and is a sophisticated aid to both. 28. Why does the author mention the old joke in Paragraph 1? A. To present an argument. B. To describe a scene. C. To lead in the topic. D. To clarify a doubt. 29. Which statement will Susan Goldin-Meadow probably agree with? A. The disabled seldom use gestures. B. Gestures literally embody cognition. C. Thinking only occurs inside the brain. D. Gestures are improper in communication. 30. What does the author try to prove in the last two paragraphs? A. Gestures may express what the speaker really thinks. B. People are unaware of the meanings of their gestures. C. Gesturing during speech shows only a lack of control. D. Speakers can lie more easily with the help of gestures. 31. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Speech: A Direct Channel of Information B. Gestures: A Vital Form of Communication C. Italian’s Body Language: A National Stereotype D. Thinking with Your Hands: A Lifetime’s Research D Scientists have made a “breakthrough” in handling nuclear fusion (聚变). The US Department of Energy officially announced the milestone in fusion energy research. For the first time, researchers created a nuclear fusion reaction that produced more energy than they put into the process. The experiment, conducted at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California, generated 3.15 megajoules of energy, more than the 2.05 megajoules put into creating it. Nuclear fusion works by forcing together two atoms-most often hydrogen-to make a heavier one-like helium (氦). This explosive process releases massive amounts of energy, the Department of Energy explains. Fusion is the opposite of fission (裂变), the reaction that powers nuclear reactors used commercially today. Fusion occurs naturally in the heart of the Sun and the stars, providing these cosmic (宇宙的) objects with fuel. Since the 1950s, scientists have been trying to reproduce it on Earth in order to make use of the so-called clean, cheap, and almost limitless electricity. According to the International Atomic Energy Agency, fusion generates four times more energy per kilogram than the fission used to power nuclear plants, and nearly 4 million times more energy than burning oil or coal. What’s more, unlike fossil fuels, fusion doesn’t release carbon dioxide the greenhouse gas that’s the main driver of climate change-into the atmosphere. And unlike nuclear fission, fusion doesn’t create long-lived radioactive waste, according to the Department of Energy. But so far, nuclear fusion hasn’t solved our energy problems on a grand scale. The recent announcement is a huge step forward in nuclear fusion energy, but applying the technology at commercial scale is likely still years away. Chanda Prescod Weinstein, a theoretical physicist, pointed out that the process the Department of Energy uses requires tritium (氚), a rare and radioactive isotope (同位素)of hydrogen. “It may yet convey important information that is ultimately transformative. We don’t know yet,” Prescod Weinstein tweeted. Investors, including Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, have poured billions into clean energy field trying to make fusion commercially workable, and the recent announcement is likely to continue that trend. 32. What is the breakthrough in nuclear fusion reaction? A. It releases massive amounts of energy. B. It produces 3. 15 megajoules of energy. C. It works by forcing together two atoms. D. It generates more energy than that put into it. 33 Why have scientists been conducting nuclear fusion experiments? A. To avoid the commercial use of fission. B. To recycle the byproduct of radioactive waste. C To reduce emission (排放) of greenhouse gas. D. To aim for the high efficiency in producing energy. 34. What does paragraph 5 focus on? A. The attitude of investors. B. The prospect of fusion energy. C. The significance of the announcement. D. The difficulty in producing fusion energy. 35. What is the author’s attitude towards fusion energy? A. Critical. B. Negative. C. Optimistic. D. Doubtful. 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Maybe you are probably getting an earful (训斥) from your inner voice. ___36___. Here are several ways to change your self- talk script and to use your inner voices to perform better. Listen critically to your inner critic In high- pressure situations, self- talk is often critical. Instead of thinking deliberately and logically, our inner voices are caused by emotion. That influences everything from how we talk to ourselves to our behaviors. ___37___. And when your inner voices start to fill with words of frustration and discouragement, pause the conversation as you consider ways to change it. Create psychological distance from yourself One effective way to manage stress is to create psychological distance. This can be achieved by using second- or third- person pronouns when referring to the situation. Asking yourself,“ Why are you feeling so stressed?” is one way to create the psychological distance you need to regulate emotion. ___38___. Fit your conversation to your goal ___39___. Instructional self- talk like“ shoulders back” or“ keep the left arm straight” works to improve technique. Motivational self-talk such as“ you’ve got this” or“ keep going” can help with confidence, strength, or endurance. It’s important to be aware of the type of self-talk you are using and make sure it aligns with your goals and needs. ___40___ Demeaning or negative self- talk is only going to increase your stress and hold you back. Instead, speak compassionately to yourself — just as you would to a friend. Recreate negative messages to include positive content. “I am not good at this.” can be changed to“ Relax. You are prepared for this.” “I don’t know what to say.” can be replaced by“ Remember to smile and ask good questions.” A. Treat yourself as a friend B. Make as many friends as possible C. Using instructional language is appropriate D. Different types of self- talk work best for specific goals E. So your first step is to listen critically to what you are saying to yourself F. Often, negative comments in your head make it difficult for you to succeed G. This way you might find your task an interesting challenge instead of a threat 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I remember a moment when I felt like everything was falling apart.

You probably know the entire play off by heart. You are the best person for Cinderella.” he encouraged. I knew he was joking, but the truth was, I could tell you every single line (台词) in the play. When we reached the hall on Thursday, I began to wish I hadn’t signed up to be Cinderella. It was easier to feel hopeful several days ago when my name was the only one on the sign-up sheet. Since then, seven other girls have added their own names to the list, including Sherry Anderson, the head cheerleader (拉拉队长). Luckily, we were given a moment to practice before the auditions began. “Good,” Mr Cordoza said approvingly as he stopped by and listened to my practice. I felt a glimmer of hope. “Now let’s see how you get on performing on the stage in front of everyone.” He clapped his hands for attention, signaling the start of the auditions. Sherry Anderson was up first. She showed great confidence as she tossed her long blonde hair and recited her lines. Although she lacked an understanding of the lines, her performance was attractive. Then it was my turn. As I climbed the stairs to the stage, I tripped, nearly falling flat on my face. I felt my cheeks burning. “When you’re ready,” Mr Cordoza said, sounding impatient. “Sorry,” I mumbled. I tried to calm my breathing, but the nerves tightened in my throat. “I...I…” I stuttered. ‘Speak up Amy, can’t hear you!’ jeers and whistles came from the back of the hall. I could feel that my performance was a disaster. Even Sherry’s lines were better than mine. Finally, I limped to the end of the scene, and as soon as it was over, I rushed off the stage, feeling defeated. As I made my way through the hallway, I spotted Artie waiting for me. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150左右； （2）请按如下格式作答。 He told me that Sherry got the role of Cinderella but I would be the understudy (替角). ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the day of the performance, Sherry got sick and couldn’t come. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null
