However, it continued in 1900 and 1904, but not as a main attraction. Some of the Olympic events might seem a bit unusual to today’s sports fans. Chariot(战车) Racing Starting around 684 B.C., drivers raced each other in horse-drawn chariots at the Olympics, sometimes crashing into one another. Only men could join in Olympic events as athletes, but wealthy women could show their support for chariots as sponsors. Because it was a chariot’s funder who received the victory title, not the racer himself, this was the only way women could “win” at the Olympics. Hot Air Balloon Racing With the expanded time, the 1900 Olympics featured many more athletes and events than the 1896 Olympics, including various hot air balloon competitions. Hot air balloon drivers competed in terms of distance traveled, altitude reached and best photograph taken from a balloon. However, hot air balloon racing made its appearance for the first time and also the last time in 1900. Live Pigeon(鸽子) Shooting Another event that appeared first at the 1900 Olympics was live pigeon shooting. In this competition, organizers set free pigeons into the air in front of a competitor, who then shot as many as possible. The winner was a Belgian man named Lcon de Lun, who shot 21 pigeons. Altogether, the competitors killed around 300 pigeons. Luckily, live pigeon shooting only appeared at the Olympics once. Painting Starting with the 1912 Olympics in Stockholm and continuing until the 1948 games in London, the Olympics held art competitions in painting as well as sculpture, music, architecture and literature. The art competitions were called off because so many competitors were professional artists, and the Olympics were supposed to make the amateurs (people who didn’t get paid for their athletic or artistic talent) shine. 1. How could a woman be involved in Chariot Racing? A. By training a chariot driver. B. By funding a chariot. C By competing in the race. D. By signing up as a volunteer. 2. What do Hot Air Balloon Racing and Live Pigeon Shooting have in common? A. They involved the use of animals as a necessary part. B. They were warmly welcomed by the audience. C. They required excellent skills in photography. D. They only existed once in history as Olympic events. 3. Why were the art competitions removed from the Olympic Games? A. The costs of organizing them were too high. B. The quality of the artistic works was far from satisfactory. C. The competitors were not what the organizers expected. D. The organizers believed arts were not as important as sports. B In the middle of San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park, Amanda Barrows carefully placed a wooden nightstand (床头柜) on the ground. She attached a sign reading, “Take a poem, leave a poem.” So far, more than 100 poems have come in. “It’s completely unexpected,” said Barrows. “I’m really impressed by the outpouring of support.” A park ranger (护林人) by day and a poet by night, Barrows joined a Poetry for the People class at City College of San Francisco (CCSF). Students were asked to find a way to “bring poetry into the community” as their final project. In the beginning, Barrows struggled to land on an idea. Eventually, though, it dawned on her that she could perhaps combine together her two worlds — parks and poetry. A colleague offered up a weathered nightstand, which Barrows thought would be the perfect tool for her project, as she could fill the drawer at the top with fresh paper and pens and add a box at the bottom for poems. The concept reminded her of Little Free Libraries, which featured bookstands stationed across the city. “I was inspired by the little free libraries you see in San Francisco (SF), where you ‘take a book, leave a book’, and thought, ‘Maybe I could do this with poetry.’” said Barrows. Since she only had a single nightstand to work with, Barrows decided that she would leave it in a park for four days before moving it to a new location. San Francisco’s Recreation and Park Department manages about 220 parks, and Barrows’s goal is to bring the poetry nightstand to all of them. Since the Poetry Nightstand project started, people have donated a wide range of writing. Barrows has shared most of the submissions on social media. “It really is a community project,” Barrows said. “It belongs to all of us.” One of the teachers at the CCSF poetry course, Lauren Muller, told The Washington Post that “people need poetry now”, which she suggested as the reason for the success of Barrows’s project. 4. Why did Barrows start the Poetry Nightstand project? A. To share her own poems. B. To advertise a poetry class. C. To encourage young poets. D. To complete a required task. 5. How did Barrows’s project differ from Little Free Libraries? A. It wasn’t well-received by the public. B. It wasn’t fixed on a specific site. C. It covered a larger area in the city. D. It was only open to citizens of SF. 6. What did Muller think contributed to the success of Barrows’s project? A. The benefits of writing poetry. B. The public demand for poetry. C. The help from her neighbors. D. The large number of parks in SF. 7. Which of the following words best describe Barrows? A. Courageous and calm. B. Enthusiastic and kind. C. Creative and ambitious. D. Cooperative and generous. C Theo works days, nights, and weekends in the tulip (郁金香) fields in the Netherlands and never complains about tired muscles. How is this possible? Theo, named after a retired farmer, is a high-tech robot in the battle to root out disease from the fields. The robot rolls along rows of yellow and red tulips, checking each plant and, when necessary, killing diseased bulbs (鳞茎) to prevent the spread of the tulip-breaking virus (病毒). The virus weakens the bulb, leaving them unable to flower. The dead bulbs are removed from healthy ones in a sorting center after they have been harvested. There are 45 robots like Theo working in the tulip fields of the Netherlands. Their job becomes important as the winter turns to spring and peak season nears, when people come from around the world to admire the colorful flowers. In the past, this work was carried out by knowledgeable farmers. Allan Visser is a third-generation tulip farmer who is using the robot. “You could buy a very nice sports car for the price of the robot,” Visser said. The robot costs 185,000 euros. “It’s a lot slower than a sports car, rolling on caterpillar tracks through fields,” he added. “But I choose the robot because a sports car doesn’t see the sick tulips. Now there are fewer and fewer people who can really do that.” The robots have been trained to detect sick plants. They have cameras and take thousands of photos of the tulips. Their AI model examines the photos, hunting out signs on sick plants, and decides which ones need to be killed. The engineer explains the robots use GPS to be sure they are destroying the correct tulips. The heart of the machine is the knowledge put into the AI model, which comes from experienced tulip farmers like Theo van der Voort, who gave his name to the robot. Van der Voort retired after 52 years of looking for sick flowers in his fields. “It’s fantastic,” he said. “It sees just as much as I see.” 8. What does the robot do? A. Plant new tulips. B. Clear troubled bulbs. C. Kill deadly virus. D. Harvest grown flowers. 9. What can we infer from Visser’s words? A. He dreams of a sports car. B. Tulip fields are low in production. C. The robot is worth the cost. D. Farmers lack technical knowledge. 10. What is the key to making the robots work effectively? A. GPS systems. B. High-tech cameras. C. Daily training. D. Human knowledge. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Theo’s Watch: An Advance in Tulip Farming B. Al Robots: A Replacement for Aging Farmers C. Tulip Seasons: An Attraction of the Netherlands D. Visser’s Practice: A Tradition in Tulip Businesses D Today’s journalists face modern challenges. Online media platforms are springing up. And the lowly newspaper and its reporters are fighting money, tech, and distrust issues. Journalism students and teachers must emphasize new skills to keep their profession alive. A trustworthy press helps inform people and monitor all levels of government. That is essential to a nation. Yet this useful establishment is growing increasingly unpopular. According to the University of North Carolina (UNC), newsroom jobs across the country are fewer than half what they were 10 years ago. And on many college campuses, the news about the news is bleak too. Take the Syracuse, New York, student-run newspaper The Daily Orange: It isn’t daily anymore. The paper prints just three times each week. Next year, The Diamondback of the University of Maryland will be online only. Half the newspapers that still exist on paper say they don’t print as many copies. And UNC’s The Daily Tar Heel has cut staff pay and rented cheaper offices to make its budget. Considering the problems in journalism, it’s surprising that the enrollment (注册人数) in college journalism programs is up. The Daily Orange managing editor Catherine Leffert calls the layoffs and cutbacks disheartening. “But what keeps me wanting to be a journalist is seeing the effect that The Daily Orange has,” she says. But journalism educators wonder, “Are we preparing young people for a dying industry?” Years ago, journalism graduates took low-level reporter jobs at newspapers or television stations. That still happens. But today’s jobs more often involve digital editing, social media production, and video streaming. Some universities are taking action. The University of Florida offers a sports media program. Several schools highlight statistics- driven data journalism. The news isn’t all bad. Journalism professor Kathleen Culver says, “When I look at 18- and 20-year-olds in journalism and see what they want to do, I’m optimistic.” Maddy Arrowood is the student editor of The Daily Tar Heel. She says her experience makes her more interested in a journalism career, not less. Her optimism“comes from knowing that people still need news. They still need information.” 12. What mainly contributes to the challenges for today’s journalists? A. More printed newspapers are in great need. B. The newsroom jobs are decreasing worldwide. C. Online newspapers take the place of printed ones. D. Online media platforms are developing quickly. 13. What does the underlined word“bleak” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Depressing. B. Interesting. C. Uscless. D. Encouraging. 14. How do some universities respond to today’s journalism? A. They reduce student enrollment. B. They offer students specialized programs. C. They prepare students for low-level reporter jobs. D. They encourage students to run their own newspaper. 15. Why is Maddy Arrowood mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To show people’s positive attitudes to journalists. B. To prove the potential of a career in journalism. C. To show the popularity of The Daily Tar Heel. D. To prove people’s thirst for the latest news. 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。 Benefits of Solitude(独处) Learning about yourself When you’re in any sort of social setting,you aren’t strictly yourself. You’re instead whoever you are in that context. For example, if you are a mother spending time with your children, you’re a parent in that situation.

Helping with self-regulation It’s worth noting that spending time alone doesn’t have to have a harmful impact on your social life. ___17___.

During it, they talked about the school’s approaching prom (舞会). Alondra said, “When I was young, I failed to attend the school’s prom for some reason!” Rose could see that Alondra had dreamed about attending a prom. After returning home, Rose encouraged Mike to ask his grandma to be his dance partner. She wanted to help Alondra to realize her dream. She knew Alondra was outgoing and loved to stay with young kids. Mike initially hesitated but finally decided to follow his mother’s suggestion. His good friend Lily supported his decision, too. The next day, Mike sent the invitation to his grandma. Seeing it, Alondra was surprised and excited. When that big night came, Alondra wore a beautiful dress. When they joyfully walked into the hall of the prom, unexpectedly, there was a loud gasp (倒抽气). Mike could feel all eyes on him. “Wait! Did he bring his old grandmother as his dance partner?” some kids behind them laughed. Mike looked around, finding that every boy had a young girl as their partner. Upset and embarrassed, he whispered, “I’m sorry, Gran. Don’t hate me for this.” Without a second thought, he left his grandmother behind and walked out of the hall, vowing not to return to the prom. Poor Alondra was left alone in the hall. She had never imagined she’d be alone in a hall full of young children. But it happened. Mike sat on the basketball court stairs, thinking about how terrible it was to bring Alondra along. Suddenly, a familiar voice from behind distracted his racing thoughts. “Your grandmother needs you,” it said. “It was very rude of you to leave her alone!” Lily approached him, encouraging him to be back with his grandma. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Lily sat down on the stairs next to him _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Holding her hands, Mike cried, “Gran, sorry!

Because it was a chariot’s funder who received the victory title, not the racer himself, this was the only way women could “win” at the Olympics.(只有男性可以作为运动员参加奥运会，但富有的女性可以作为赞助商表示对战车的支持。因为获得胜利头衔的是战车的资助者，而不是赛车手本人，这是女性在奥运会上“获胜”的唯一途径。)”可知，只有男性可以作为运动员参加战车比赛项目，而获得胜利头衔的是战车的资助者，所以如果一个女性要参与到战车比赛中就要赞助一辆战车。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据题干可分别定位到“Hot Air Balloon Racing”和“Live Pigeon(鸽子) Shooting”两个部分的最后一句话“However, hot air balloon racing made its appearance for the first time and also the last time in 1900.(然而，1900年热气球竞赛首次出现，也是最后一次出现。)”和“Luckily, live pigeon shooting only appeared at the Olympics once.(幸运的是，活鸽射击只在奥运会上出现过一次。)”可知，这两个运动项目在奥运历史上都只出现过一次。故选D。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据题干可定位到最后一段中的“The art competitions were called off because so many competitors were professional artists, and the Olympics were supposed to make the amateurs (people who didn’t get paid for their athletic or artistic talent) shine.(艺术比赛被取消了，因为很多参赛者都是专业艺术家，而奥运会本应让业余爱好者（那些没有因运动天赋或艺术天赋而获得报酬的人）大放异彩。)”可知，参加艺术比赛的很多都是专业艺术家，而不是业余爱好者，由此可推测出，取消艺术比赛是因为参赛者并不是组织者所期望的人。故选C。 B In the middle of San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park, Amanda Barrows carefully placed a wooden nightstand (床头柜) on the ground. She attached a sign reading, “Take a poem, leave a poem.” So far, more than 100 poems have come in. “It’s completely unexpected,” said Barrows. “I’m really impressed by the outpouring of support.” A park ranger (护林人) by day and a poet by night, Barrows joined a Poetry for the People class at City College of San Francisco (CCSF). Students were asked to find a way to “bring poetry into the community” as their final project. In the beginning, Barrows struggled to land on an idea. Eventually, though, it dawned on her that she could perhaps combine together her two worlds — parks and poetry. A colleague offered up a weathered nightstand, which Barrows thought would be the perfect tool for her project, as she could fill the drawer at the top with fresh paper and pens and add a box at the bottom for poems. The concept reminded her of Little Free Libraries, which featured bookstands stationed across the city. “I was inspired by the little free libraries you see in San Francisco (SF), where you ‘take a book, leave a book’, and thought, ‘Maybe I could do this with poetry.’” said Barrows. Since she only had a single nightstand to work with, Barrows decided that she would leave it in a park for four days before moving it to a new location. San Francisco’s Recreation and Park Department manages about 220 parks, and Barrows’s goal is to bring the poetry nightstand to all of them. Since the Poetry Nightstand project started, people have donated a wide range of writing. Barrows has shared most of the submissions on social media. “It really is a community project,” Barrows said. “It belongs to all of us.” One of the teachers at the CCSF poetry course, Lauren Muller, told The Washington Post that “people need poetry now”, which she suggested as the reason for the success of Barrows’s project. 4. Why did Barrows start the Poetry Nightstand project? A. To share her own poems. B. To advertise a poetry class. C. To encourage young poets. D. To complete a required task. 5. How did Barrows’s project differ from Little Free Libraries? A. It wasn’t well-received by the public. B. It wasn’t fixed on a specific site. C. It covered a larger area in the city. D. It was only open to citizens of SF. 6. What did Muller think contributed to the success of Barrows’s project? A. The benefits of writing poetry. B. The public demand for poetry. C. The help from her neighbors. D. The large number of parks in SF. 7. Which of the following words best describe Barrows? A. Courageous and calm. B. Enthusiastic and kind. C. Creative and ambitious. D. Cooperative and generous. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文为记叙文，主要介绍了旧金山公园管理员巴罗斯为完成诗歌课程的结课作业而发起了一个诗歌项目。她在公园里放置了一个床头框，写着“取一首诗，留一首诗”，结果引起了很大反响，许多人参与到了这个项目中来。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“A park ranger (护林人) by day and a poet by night, Barrows joined a Poetry for the People class at City College of San Francisco (CCSF). Students were asked to find a way to “bring poetry into the community” as their final project.( 巴罗斯白天是公园管理员，晚上是诗人，他参加了旧金山城市学院的“为人民写诗”课程。学生们被要求找到一种“将诗歌带入社区”的方法作为他们的期末项目)”可知，巴罗斯开始Poetry Nightstand项目是为了完成诗歌课程布置的任务。故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“The concept reminded her of Little Free Libraries, which featured bookstands stationed across the city.( 这个概念让她想起了小型免费图书馆，它的特色是遍布全城的书柜)”可知，Little Free Libraries遍布全城。再根据该段中的“Since she only had a single nightstand to work with, Barrows decided that she would leave it in a park for four days before moving it to a new location. San Francisco’s Recreation and Park Department manages about 220 parks, and Barrows’s goal is to bring the poetry nightstand to all of them.( 由于她只有一个床头柜，巴罗斯决定把它放在公园里四天，然后把它搬到一个新的地方。旧金山的娱乐和公园部门管理着大约220个公园，巴罗斯的目标是把诗歌床头柜带到所有的公园)”可知，巴罗斯只有一个床头柜可以使用，她先把它在一个公园里放四天，然后再搬到其他新的地方，她的目标是将这个床头柜带到所有公园，因此她的项目是流动的，而非固定在某个特定地点。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“One of the teachers at the CCSF poetry course, Lauren Muller, told The Washington Post that“people need poetry now”, which she suggested as the reason for the success of Barrows’s project.( CCSF诗歌课程的一位老师劳伦·穆勒告诉《华盛顿邮报》，“人们现在需要诗歌”，她认为这是巴罗斯项目成功的原因)”可知，穆勒认为巴罗斯的项目成功的原因是“人们现在需要诗歌”。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。结合全文，尤其是第四段中的“Eventually, though, it dawned on her that she could perhaps combine together her two worlds— parks and poetry.( 然而，她终于意识到，她也许可以把她的两个世界——公园和诗歌——结合在一起)”可知，巴罗斯推出诗歌床头柜这一项目，既完成了诗歌课程的结课作业，又结合了自己的工作和对诗歌的兴趣，因此是非常有创意的。再由第五段最后一句话“San Francisco’s Recreation and Park Department manages about 220 parks, and Barrows’s goal is to bring the poetry nightstand to all of them.( 旧金山的娱乐和公园部门管理着大约220个公园，巴罗斯的目标是把诗歌床头柜带到所有的公园)”可知，巴罗斯希望将这一项目带到所有公园，因此她也是非常有目标、有雄心的。故选C。 C Theo works days, nights, and weekends in the tulip (郁金香) fields in the Netherlands and never complains about tired muscles. How is this possible? Theo, named after a retired farmer, is a high-tech robot in the battle to root out disease from the fields. The robot rolls along rows of yellow and red tulips, checking each plant and, when necessary, killing diseased bulbs (鳞茎) to prevent the spread of the tulip-breaking virus (病毒). The virus weakens the bulb, leaving them unable to flower. The dead bulbs are removed from healthy ones in a sorting center after they have been harvested. There are 45 robots like Theo working in the tulip fields of the Netherlands. Their job becomes important as the winter turns to spring and peak season nears, when people come from around the world to admire the colorful flowers. In the past, this work was carried out by knowledgeable farmers. Allan Visser is a third-generation tulip farmer who is using the robot. “You could buy a very nice sports car for the price of the robot,” Visser said. The robot costs 185,000 euros. “It’s a lot slower than a sports car, rolling on caterpillar tracks through fields,” he added. “But I choose the robot because a sports car doesn’t see the sick tulips. Now there are fewer and fewer people who can really do that.” The robots have been trained to detect sick plants. They have cameras and take thousands of photos of the tulips. Their AI model examines the photos, hunting out signs on sick plants, and decides which ones need to be killed. The engineer explains the robots use GPS to be sure they are destroying the correct tulips. The heart of the machine is the knowledge put into the AI model, which comes from experienced tulip farmers like Theo van der Voort, who gave his name to the robot. Van der Voort retired after 52 years of looking for sick flowers in his fields. “It’s fantastic,” he said. “It sees just as much as I see.” 8. What does the robot do? A. Plant new tulips. B. Clear troubled bulbs. C. Kill deadly virus. D. Harvest grown flowers. 9. What can we infer from Visser’s words? A. He dreams of a sports car. B. Tulip fields are low in production. C. The robot is worth the cost. D. Farmers lack technical knowledge. 10. What is the key to making the robots work effectively? A. GPS systems. B. High-tech cameras. C. Daily training. D. Human knowledge. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Theo’s Watch: An Advance in Tulip Farming B. Al Robots: A Replacement for Aging Farmers C. Tulip Seasons: An Attraction of the Netherlands D. Visser’s Practice: A Tradition in Tulip Businesses 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了荷兰郁金香田中使用高科技机器人Theo的工作情况，包括其如何检测并杀死生病的郁金香鳞茎以防止病毒传播，以及这些机器人在郁金香产业中的重要性。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The robot rolls along rows of yellow and red tulips, checking each plant and, when necessary, killing diseased bulbs(鳞茎)to prevent the spread of the tulip-breaking virus(病毒). The virus weakens the bulb, leaving them unable to flower. The dead bulbs are removed from healthy ones in a sorting center after they have been harvested.(机器人沿着一排排黄色和红色的郁金香滚动，检查每棵植物，必要时，杀死患病的鳞茎，以防止郁金香破裂病毒的传播。病毒削弱了球茎，使它们无法开花。在收获后，死球茎会在分拣中心从健康球茎中取出。)”可知，机器人Theo在郁金香田中滚动，检查每株植物，并在必要时杀死生病的鳞茎以防止郁金香破碎病毒的传播。因此，它的工作是清除有问题的鳞茎。故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Allan Visser is a third-generation tulip farmer who is using the robot. “You could buy a very nice sports car for the price of the robot,” Visser said. The robot costs 185,000 euros. “It’s a lot slower than a sports car, rolling on caterpillar tracks through fields,” he added. “But I choose the robot because a sports car doesn’t see the sick tulips. Now there are fewer and fewer people who can really do that.”(Allan Visser是第三代郁金香种植者，他正在使用这个机器人。“你可以用机器人的价格买一辆非常好的跑车，”Visser说。该机器人售价18.5万欧元。“它比跑车慢得多，在田地里的履带上滚动，”他补充说。“但我选择机器人是因为跑车看不到病态的郁金香。现在真正能做到这一点的人越来越少了。”)”可知，从Visser的话中，我们可以推断出他认为这个机器人是值得这个价格的。他提到虽然机器人的价格相当于一辆很漂亮的跑车，但是跑车并不能看到生病的郁金香，而机器人可以。这暗示了他认为机器人虽然昂贵，但其能够执行的工作和带来的效益使得这个价格是值得的。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Their AI model examines the photos, hunting out signs on sick plants, and decides which ones need to be killed. The engineer explains the robots use GPS to be sure they are destroying the correct tulips. The heart of the machine is the knowledge put into the AI model, which comes from experienced tulip farmers like Theo van der Voort, who gave his name to the robot.(他们的人工智能模型检查照片，寻找生病植物上的迹象，并决定哪些需要杀死。这位工程师解释说，机器人使用GPS来确保它们摧毁的是正确的郁金香。这台机器的核心是输入人工智能模型的知识，这些知识来自于经验丰富的郁金香种植者，比如Theo van der Voort，他给这台机器人取了名字。)”可知，机器人的核心是AI模型中的知识，这些知识来自于像Theo van der Voort这样有经验的郁金香农民。这表明，使机器人有效工作的关键是人类的知识和经验，它们被输入到AI模型中，以便机器人能够准确地检测和处理生病的郁金香。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Theo works days, nights, and weekends in the tulip(郁金香)fields in the Netherlands and never complains about tired muscles. How is this possible? Theo, named after a retired farmer, is a high-tech robot in the battle to root out disease from the fields.( Theo不分昼夜，连周末都在荷兰的郁金香地里工作，从不抱怨肌肉疲劳。这怎么可能呢？Theo是以一位退休农民的名字命名的，他是一个高科技机器人，在田地里消灭疾病。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了机器人Theo在荷兰郁金香田中的应用和其在提高生产效率、预防病毒传播方面的重要性。选项A“Theo’s Watch: An Advance in Tulip Farming (Theo的守望：郁金香农业的进步)”既突出了主角机器人Theo，又表明了它所带来的农业进步，最能概括文章的主旨。故选A。 D Today’s journalists face modern challenges. Online media platforms are springing up. And the lowly newspaper and its reporters are fighting money, tech, and distrust issues. Journalism students and teachers must emphasize new skills to keep their profession alive. A trustworthy press helps inform people and monitor all levels of government. That is essential to a nation. Yet this useful establishment is growing increasingly unpopular. According to the University of North Carolina (UNC), newsroom jobs across the country are fewer than half what they were 10 years ago. And on many college campuses, the news about the news is bleak too. Take the Syracuse, New York, student-run newspaper The Daily Orange: It isn’t daily anymore. The paper prints just three times each week. Next year, The Diamondback of the University of Maryland will be online only. Half the newspapers that still exist on paper say they don’t print as many copies. And UNC’s The Daily Tar Heel has cut staff pay and rented cheaper offices to make its budget. Considering the problems in journalism, it’s surprising that the enrollment (注册人数) in college journalism programs is up. The Daily Orange managing editor Catherine Leffert calls the layoffs and cutbacks disheartening. “But what keeps me wanting to be a journalist is seeing the effect that The Daily Orange has,” she says. But journalism educators wonder, “Are we preparing young people for a dying industry?” Years ago, journalism graduates took low-level reporter jobs at newspapers or television stations. That still happens. But today’s jobs more often involve digital editing, social media production, and video streaming. Some universities are taking action. The University of Florida offers a sports media program. Several schools highlight statistics- driven data journalism. The news isn’t all bad. Journalism professor Kathleen Culver says, “When I look at 18- and 20-year-olds in journalism and see what they want to do, I’m optimistic.” Maddy Arrowood is the student editor of The Daily Tar Heel. She says her experience makes her more interested in a journalism career, not less. Her optimism“comes from knowing that people still need news. They still need information.” 12. What mainly contributes to the challenges for today’s journalists? A. More printed newspapers are in great need. B The newsroom jobs are decreasing worldwide. C. Online newspapers take the place of printed ones. D. Online media platforms are developing quickly. 13. What does the underlined word“bleak” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Depressing. B. Interesting. C. Uscless. D. Encouraging. 14. How do some universities respond to today’s journalism? A. They reduce student enrollment. B. They offer students specialized programs. C. They prepare students for low-level reporter jobs. D. They encourage students to run their own newspaper. 15. Why is Maddy Arrowood mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To show people’s positive attitudes to journalists. B. To prove the potential of a career in journalism. C. To show the popularity of The Daily Tar Heel. D. To prove people’s thirst for the latest news. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了新闻业未来的发展与面临的挑战。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Today’s journalists face modern challenges. Online media platforms are springing up. And the lowly newspaper and its reporters are fighting money, tech, and distrust issues.(今天的记者面临着现代的挑战。网络媒体平台如雨后春笋般涌现。地位低下的报纸及其记者正在与金钱、技术和不信任问题作斗争)”可知，今天的记者面临的挑战主要是网络媒体平台发展迅速。故选D。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“According to the University of North Carolina (UNC), newsroom jobs across the country are fewer than half what they were 10 years ago.(根据北卡罗来纳大学（UNC）的数据，全国新闻编辑室的工作岗位不到10年前的一半)”可知，全国的新闻编辑部的工作岗位不到十年前的一半。再联系下文提到的三家学生报纸的现状可知，在许多大学校园里，关于新闻的消息同样也是bleak(令人沮丧的)，bleak的意思与depressing(令人沮丧的)相似。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Some universities are taking action. The University of Florida offers a sports media program. Several schools highlight statistics-driven data journalism.(一些大学正在采取行动。佛罗里达大学提供体育媒体课程。一些学校强调统计驱动的数据新闻)”可知，一些大学正在采取行动，会给学生提供专门的课程，故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Maddy Arrowood is the student editor of The Daily Tar Heel. She says her experience makes her more interested in a journalism career, not less.(Maddy Arrowood是the Daily Tar Heel的学生编辑。她说，她的经历使她对新闻事业更感兴趣，而不是更不感兴趣)”可知，马迪的经历让她对新闻事业更感兴趣，所以最后一段提到她是为了说明“新闻业的发展具有潜力”，故选B。 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。 Benefits of Solitude(独处) Learning about yourself When you’re in any sort of social setting,you aren’t strictly yourself. You’re instead whoever you are in that context. For example, if you are a mother spending time with your children, you’re a parent in that situation. If you’re hanging out with coworkers, you’re a fellow employee. When you’re by yourself, you’re just you. This gives you an opportunity to learn how the various social contexts of your life shape your behavior and self perception(察觉). ___16___. Helping with self-regulation It’s worth noting that spending time alone doesn’t have to have a harmful impact on your social life. ___17___. This is because spending time in solitude helps people develop the skills they need to regulate their own emotions. When you’re alone with your thoughts and feelings, you’re more aware of them. That means you have more opportunities to exercise a degree of control over how you think or feel about particular situations. This helps afterwards. ___18___, your self-regulation skills will help you determine if you’re talking too much or not enough, overreacting to perceived slights, making insensitive comments, and much more. ___19___ Some of the greatest benefits of solitude are practical in nature. For instance, researchers have often found that, all other factors(因素)being equal, people who spend time alone are often more likely to develop certain strong talents than their peers. These talents can include playing an instrument, painting, cooking, or doing anything else that requires practice. It’s easy to understand why this is the case. ___20___, there are also many abilities that a person is more likely to develop when they have the opportunity to devote alone time to them. A. Developing skills B. Spending time on interests C. That can help you make life changes D. When you’re socializing with\others later on E. While people shouldn’t spend all their time with others F. Although some skills are easier to develop with help from others G. On the contrary, it can actually improve your social interactions over time 【答案】16. C 17. G 18. D 19. A 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章介绍了独处的好处。 【16题详解】 设空处位于段末，往往具有总结前文的特征；上文“This gives you an opportunity to learn how the various social contexts of your life shape your behavior and self perception(察觉).(这让你有机会了解生活中的各种社会背景是如何塑造你的行为和自我认知的)”提到了让你有计划了解生活中的各种社会背景是如何塑造你的行为和自我认知的。C项“That can help you make life changes(这可以帮助你改变生活)”指出了解生活中的各种社会背景是如何塑造你的行为和自我认知的好处，其中的that恰好指代前面的“learn how the various social contexts of your life shape your behavior and self perception”，与上文对应。故选C项。 【17题详解】 上文“It’s worth noting that spending time alone doesn’t have to have a harmful impact on your social life.(值得注意的是，独处并不一定会对你的社交生活产生有害的影响)”提到了独处并不一定对社交生活产生有害的影响；下文“This is because spending time in solitude helps people develop the skills they need to regulate their own emotions.(这是因为花时间独处有助于人们培养调节自己情绪所需的技能)”提到了花时间独处有助于人们培养调节自己情绪所需的技能，是在论述独处的好处。由此可推知，设空处与上文和下文间应为承上启下的关系，G项“On the contrary, it can actually improve your social interactions over time(相反，随着时间的推移，它实际上可以改善你的社交互动)”中的it指代前面的spending time alone，与上下文呼应。故选G项。 【18题详解】 设空处位于逗号前，与后面的句子构成主从复合句。上文“When you’re alone with your thoughts and feelings, you’re more aware of them. That means you have more opportunities to exercise a degree of control over how you think or feel about particular situations. This helps afterwards.(当你独自面对自己的想法和感受时，你会更清楚地意识到它们。这意味着你有更多的机会在一定程度上控制自己对特定情况的想法或感觉。这对后面发生的事很有帮助)”提到了当独自面对自己的想法和感受时，能更清楚地意识到它们，这意味着有更多的机会在一定程度上控制自己对特定情况的想法和感觉，这对后面发生的事很有帮助；下文“your self-regulation skills will help you determine if you’re talking too much or not enough, overreacting to perceived slights, making insensitive comments, and much more.(你的自我调节能力将帮助你确定自己是否说得太多或不够，是否对别人的轻视反应过度，是否发表了不敏感的评论等等)”提到了自己的自我调节能力将帮助判断自己是否说得太多或不够，是否对别人的轻视反应过度，是否做出不敏感的评论等。D项“When you’re socializing with\others later on(当你以后和别人交往时)”在句式结构上能与后面的句子构成时间状语从句，在句意上也与上下文相呼应。故选D项。 【19题详解】 设空处为小标题，应具有简短、概括性强等特点；下文“Some of the greatest benefits of solitude are practical in nature. For instance, researchers have often found that, all other factors (因素) being equal, people who spend time alone are often more likely to develop certain strong talents than their peers. These talents can include playing an instrument, painting, cooking, or doing anything else that requires practice. (独处的一些最大好处在本质上是实际的。例如，研究人员经常发现，在其他因素相同的情况下，独处的人往往比同龄人更有可能培养某些强大的才能。这些才能可以包括演奏乐器、绘画、烹饪或其他任何需要练习的事情)”提到了独处的人往往比同龄人更有可能发展出某些强大的才能，包括演奏乐器、绘画、烹饪或其他需要练习的事。由此可推知，本段重点讲述了培养技能相关话题，A项“Developing skills(开发技能)”最能概括本段内容。故选A项。 【20题详解】 设空处位于逗号前，与后面的句子构成主从复合句。上文“It’s easy to understand why this is the case.(这很容易理解为什么会这样)”提到了很容易理解为什么独处的人比同龄人更容易培养一些技能；下文“there are also many abilities that a person is more likely to develop when they have the opportunity to devote alone time to them.(当一个人有机会独处时，他们也更有可能发展许多能力)”提到了当一个人有机会独处时，更有可能发展许多能力。由此可推知，设空处与培养能力有关。F项“Although some skills are easier to develop with help from others(尽管有些技能在别人的帮助下更容易培养)”与上下文呼应。故选F项。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 “Only if you have experienced it can you believe it.” I didn’t believe such thing until it ____21____ happened to me.

During it, they talked about the school’s approaching prom (舞会). Alondra said, “When I was young, I failed to attend the school’s prom for some reason!” Rose could see that Alondra had dreamed about attending a prom. After returning home, Rose encouraged Mike to ask his grandma to be his dance partner. She wanted to help Alondra to realize her dream. She knew Alondra was outgoing and loved to stay with young kids. Mike initially hesitated but finally decided to follow his mother’s suggestion. His good friend Lily supported his decision, too. The next day, Mike sent the invitation to his grandma. Seeing it, Alondra was surprised and excited. When that big night came, Alondra wore a beautiful dress. When they joyfully walked into the hall of the prom, unexpectedly, there was a loud gasp (倒抽气). Mike could feel all eyes on him. “Wait! Did he bring his old grandmother as his dance partner?” some kids behind them laughed. Mike looked around, finding that every boy had a young girl as their partner. Upset and embarrassed, he whispered, “I’m sorry, Gran. Don’t hate me for this.” Without a second thought, he left his grandmother behind and walked out of the hall, vowing not to return to the prom. Poor Alondra was left alone in the hall. She had never imagined she’d be alone in a hall full of young children. But it happened. Mike sat on the basketball court stairs, thinking about how terrible it was to bring Alondra along. Suddenly, a familiar voice from behind distracted his racing thoughts. “Your grandmother needs you,” it said. “It was very rude of you to leave her alone!” Lily approached him, encouraging him to be back with his grandma. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Lily sat down on the stairs next to him. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Holding her hands, Mike cried, “Gran, sorry!

I mean, bringing your grandma as a partner. That was very cool,” she said. Mike raised his head, asking, “Really?” Lily nodded and explained, “Such a brilliant deed is it to help fulfill your grandma’s long-cherished dream.” Plucking up his courage, Mike immediately jumped to his feet and rushed back towards the hall. When he returned with Lily, he instantly spotted Grandma in the crowd, who cast a broad smile at him. Ashamed but determined, Mike walked up firmly towards Alondra. Holding her hands, Mike cried, “Gran, sorry! Thanks for being my dance partner.” “All right,” Alondra grinned at him. “I’m so glad you’re back.” Then, the two moved slowly to music together with other dancers, immersing themselves in the beautiful melody. The other kids watched their elegant movement with great admiration. That night, both of them enjoyed the sweet night, their heart overflowing with great joy. After the prom came to an end, Alondra whispered to Mike on their way back, “It is one of the best days of my life.” A surge of pride welling up in Mike’s heart, he was delighted he made the right decision. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了Mike带奶奶Alondra参加舞会，但由于同学们的嘲笑和误解，Mike感到尴尬和难堪，最终在好友Lily的鼓励下重新回到舞会上，勇敢地面对一切，帮助奶奶实现梦想的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Lily坐在他旁边的楼梯上。”可知，第一段可描写Lily安慰和支持Mike，鼓励他回到舞会。 ②由第二段首句内容“Mike握住她的手，喊道：“奶奶，对不起！谢谢你做我的舞伴。””可知，第二段可描写Mike回到舞会，向奶奶道歉，并勇敢地面对同学们的嘲笑。 2.续写线索：Lily安慰和支持Mike——Mike决定回到舞会——Mike向奶奶道歉——奶奶感动并原谅Mike——他们重新进入舞会——学生们的反应——他们愉快地跳舞——Mike的感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①抬头：raise one’s head/lift one’s head/pick up one’s head ②实现某人的理想：fulfill one’s dream/realize one’s dream ③沉浸于：immerse oneself in/absorb oneself in 情绪类 ①羞愧：ashamed / guilty ②高兴的：glad/delighted/joyful 【点睛】[高分句型1] When he returned with Lily, he instantly spotted Grandma in the crowd, who cast a broad smile at him.（运用了when引导的时间状语从句和who引导的非限制性定语从句） [高分句型2] That night, both of them enjoyed the sweet night, their heart overflowing with great joy.（运用了独立主格结构） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
