I always believed that someday my own kids would gather here and enjoy the traditions that had been passed down each December. Life had other plans Mom found breast cancer in 2006 and died three years later. Three years after her death. I made my yearly trip to my childhood home for Christmas with my dad and sister. When I hunted for Christmas decorations up in the attic, an unusual yellow envelope caught my eye. Inside was a never published children’s book by Mom, dated February 10, 1993. It was titled The Evil Stepmother (Who Wasn’t). It’s the story of a little girl who loses her mother to cancer. Her father soon remarries, and at Christmas, the girl returns home to find her stepmother crying with a woman’s photograph in her hands. The stepmother says that she lost her mother, too, and always misses her most at Christmas. I read Mom’s book and wondered why she had been moved to write it. She was years away from her cancer at the time. But there was no stepmother in our lives. So I put the book away, found the decorations I came for, and forgot abourt Mom’s book quickly. Without the home that had been full of so many memories, I didn’t celebrate Christmas any more. I began to avoid the holiday music and even, for a while, the color red. That changed in December 2017. Dad brought a woman to Christmas unexpectedly. When we first met we hugged each other shyly. Soon, she had Dad and me laughing. It was going so well. The three of us went out to pick out gifts. That’s when “While Christmas” began to play over the store’s speakers. I froze. It was the song Mom sang to me as a child to get me to sleep. Tears streamed down my face. We got home, and I went to my room to calm down. There was a knock on the door, Dad’s girlfriend. She told me that Christmas was hard for her too and that she had lost her mother to Alzheimer’s. “Do you see my coat?” she asked. “It was my mom’s. Your dad tells me your mother had a red coat too. Maybe we can wear them together sometime?” I remembered the scene from Mom’s book and hugged this woman who made my dad happy, who was offering us a second chance at Christmas. A year later, my sister and I attended Dad’s wedding. This past December, I hosted my first Christmas in New York. My stepmother and I decorated the house, candles in every window. We walked arm in arm down Broadway in our mothers’ red coats. 24. What is the first paragraph mainly about? A. The author’s happy childhood. B. The author’s hopes for the future. C. Some unforgettable Christmas traditions. D. The author’s sweet memories at Christmas. 25. The author didn’t celebrate Christmas anymore because ________. A. she was unwilling to recall the past B. she couldn’t stand the holiday music C. she was unable to spare time for celebration D. she could not enjoy Christmas without Mom 26. As for the red coats, which of the following statements is NOT true? A. They belong to two mothers. B. They are necessary at Christmas. C. They remind the author and her stepmother of their mothers. D They are a bridge connecting the author and her stepmother. 27 What can be the best title for the text? A. The woman in the red coat. B. A never-bublished book. C. A newly-built happy family. D. The sensitive stepmother. 【答案】24. D 25. D 26. B 27. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者与圣诞节有关的或悲伤或美好的记忆。 【24题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Christmas at my house meant colorful decorations, candles in every window, homemade dinners by Mom and her matching red coat.(在我家，圣诞节意味着五颜六色的装饰，每个窗户上都有蜡烛，妈妈自制的晚餐和她的红色外套)”可知，本段主要讲述了作者对圣诞节的美好记忆。故选D项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Without the home that had been full of so many memories, I didn't celebrate Christmas any more. I began to avoid the holiday music and even, for a while, the color red.(没有了充满了回忆的家，我不再庆祝圣诞节了。我开始避开节日音乐，甚至有一段时间避开红色)”可知，作者不再庆祝圣诞节，因为没有妈妈，她无法享受圣诞节。故选D项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段““Do you see my coat?" she asked. “lt was my mom's. Your dad tells me your mother had a red coat too. Maybe we can wear them together sometime."(“你看见我的外套了吗?”她问道。“这是我妈妈的。你爸爸告诉我你妈妈也有一件红外套。也许我们可以找个时间一起穿它们。”)”可知，作者的妈妈和继母的妈妈都有红色的外套，红色外套让作者和她的继母想起了她们的母亲，故可排除A和C项；根据最后一段“My stepmother and I decorated the house, candles in every window. We walked arm in arm down Broadway in our mothers' red coats.(我和继母装饰房子，在每扇窗户上都点上蜡烛。我们手挽手地走在百老汇大街上，穿着我们的母亲的红色外套)”可知，红色外套是作者和继母之间关系的桥梁，故排除D项。而B项“它们在圣诞节是必需的”并没有提及。故选B项。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，本文讲述了妈妈的离开让作者不愿再庆祝圣诞节，继母和她的红外套勾起了作者对妈妈和她的红外套的回忆，恰恰是这两件红外套让她们走得更近，两个人共同庆祝圣诞节，因此The woman in the red coat(穿红外套的女士)适合做本文最佳标题。故选A。 You’re doing homework online for a science class. A question comes up: Do newborn human babies see the world in black and white? Do you guess or search for the answer? Searching online for the answer may get you a better grade on the homework. But a study suggests it won’t necessarily help you learn. Psychologist Amold Glass gave his students a series of quizstyle online homework assignments. The day before a lesson, students answered homework questions about the upcoming material. They answered similar questions in class a week later and again on the exam. If you read about a topic again and again, you’re not likely to remember it very well. But if you test yourself again and again, you will have better performance in the end. So the students in Glass’s classes should have performed better on each set of questions in the homework series, and then best of all on the exam. For many years, students had improved through each set of questions and did best on the exam. But later, many students are doing more poorly on the exam than before. Glass wonders “What a bizarre result that is? How can it be? ” His students tend to blame themselves, thinking, “I’ m not smart enough,” or “I should have studied more.” He suspects something else is going on, so he think about what has changed over those 11 years. One big thing is the rise of smartphones. So it is easier today to quickly go online and find the answer to just about any homework question. But students can’t use phones during an exam. And that might explain why they aren’t doing as well on the tests. To test this, Glass and Kang asked students in 2017 and 2018 whether they came up with their homework answers themselves or looked them up. Students who tended to look up answers also tended to do better on homework than their exams. 28. What can we infer from the first 2 paragraphs? A. Doing homework online is a trend. B. Childish question is hard to answer. C. Thinking over a question helps you a lot. D. It is necessary to find an effective learning method. 29. What can we know about Amold Glass’ tests? A. Students get enough knowledge from tests. B. Questions on tests were chosen from homework. C. Students performed better on tests than on homework. D. Questions on tests had nothing to do with homework. 30. What does the underlined word “ bizarre” mean? A. Final. B. Strange. C. Possible. D. Obvious. 31. What would be the best title? A. Bad Effects of Online Knowledge B. Technology is not Always Good for Us C. What Is the Best Way to Get Knowledge D. Guessing Answers or Searching Them Online 【答案】28. C 29. B 30. B 31. D 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文，文章主要讲述在网上搜索答案可能会给你家庭作业带来更好的成绩，但一项研究表明，它不一定能帮助你学习。这里主要介绍心理学家Amold Glass的做法以及发现。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Do you guess or search for the answer? Searching online for the answer may get you a better grade on the homework. But a study suggest it won’t necessarily help you learn.（你猜还是查答案？在网上搜答案或许会让你的作业得到更好的分数，但是研究表明它不一定对你的学习有帮助。）”可知，搜答案不一定对学习有帮助。由此推断：仔细思考问题对你很有帮助，故选C项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“They answered similar questions in class a week later and again on the exam.（他们在课上回答相似的问题，并且在一周后出现在考试中。）”可知，Amold Glass的考试问题是从作业中选出来的，故选B项。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“For many years, students had improved through each set of questions and did best on the exam. But later, many students are doing more poorly on the exam than before.（多年来学生们通过这一系列的问题已经有了提高并在考试中做得很好。但是之后，许多学生考试比以前差了。）”可知，前面说到结果好，而现在不好，可推断此处bizarre表示奇怪的，故选B项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Do you guess or search for the answer?（你猜答案还是搜答案呢？）”可知，文章第一段引出的一个问题，全文都在根据这个问题讲述了对猜测答案与网上搜寻答案所产生的不同效果，因此 D “猜测答案或在网上搜索答案”最适合作文章标题。故选D项。 Climate change is changing the migration routes of animals worldwide. Take the mule deer for example. Every spring in Wyoming, green-up first appears at lower altitudes before progressing up the mountainside. Migrating mule deer follow and seek food on this green wave. But as a changing climate leads to more frequent and more severe droughts, the greenery is not as abundant as it used to be. Ellen Aikens, a researcher from the University of Wyoming, tracked mule deer as they surfed the green wave. In comparison to wet years, the green-up lasted across the landscape for about half as long in drought years and was also fragmented. Although the deer were able to keep up with the faster green wave, the nutritional value was lower, leaving the animals less prepared for the challenges of the year ahead. Meanwhile in Europe, the population of Bewick’s swans that spend the winter in the Netherlands is declining. But when researchers looked at the data more closely, they found an increase in the wintering population of swans in Germany. It turns out that since the 1970s, the swans’ wintering habitat has shifted an average of 13 kilometers to the east each year. “The swans like to spend time where it’s 5℃. And the temperature line has shifted in the same rate as the swans shifted eastward,” said Rascha Nuijten, an ecologist at the Netherlands Institute of Ecology. These findings are important to our understanding of the conservation of migrant animals. When it comes to protecting a certain species, it’s not just about the current situation. Nature is dynamic. And the species that is present now might not be present in 10 years, not because we didn’t protect it but because maybe it is dynamic in its way. We need to include the dynamics of nature into our legislation and management. 32. What’s the challenge the mule deer face? A. Wet years. B. Low altitudes. C. Fast green wave. D. Lack of quality food. 33. What do we know about Bewick’s swans from Paragraph 3? A. They are endangered. B. They used to spend winter in Germany. C. They move their wintering habitats eastward. D. Germany has more of them than the Netherlands. 34. What does Rascha Nuijten intend to tell us? A. Its warmer in the east. B. The 5℃ line shifts at a fast rate. C. The swans move with the temperature line. D. Climate change affects the swans’ feeding habits. 35. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To introduce two research findings. B. To appeal to protect animals in a dynamic way. C. To discuss methods of fighting climate change. D. To explain why animals change their migration routes. 【答案】32. D 33. C 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章通过黑尾鹿和天鹅的例子告诉我们，自然是动态的，呼吁我们以动态的方式保护动物。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段关键句“In comparison to wet years, the green-up lasted across the landscape for about half as long in drought years and was also fragmented. Although the deer were able to keep up with the faster green wave, the nutritional value was lower, leaving the animals less prepared for the challenges of the year ahead.”（与湿润的年份相比，在干旱的年份，绿色上升在整个景观中持续的时间约为湿润年份的一半，而且也是支离破碎的。尽管鹿能够跟上更快的绿色浪潮，但其营养价值较低，使得它们对未来一年的挑战准备不足。）可知，绿色景观持续的时间减少，并且其营养价值较低，这将导致黑尾鹿储备的能量不足以应对未来一年的挑战，由此可知，黑尾鹿面临的挑战是缺乏优质的食品。故选D项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段关键句“It turns out that since the 1970s, the swans’ wintering habitat has shifted an average of 13 kilometers to the east each year.”（事实证明，自20世纪70年代以来，天鹅的越冬栖息地每年平均向东移动13公里。）可知，天鹅的越冬栖息地每年平均向东移动13公里，由此可知，从第3段我们可以了解到比维克的天鹅将越冬栖息地向东迁移。故选C项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段内容““The swans like to spend time where it’s 5℃. And the temperature line has shifted in the same rate as the swans shifted eastward,” said Rascha Nuijten, an ecologist at the Netherlands Institute of Ecology.”（荷兰生态研究所的生态学家Rascha Nuijten说：“天鹅喜欢在温度为5℃的地方逗留。温度线的移动速度与天鹅向东移动的速度相同。”）可知，Rascha Nuijten告诉我们，温度线的移动速度与天鹅向东移动的速度相同，由此可推断出，天鹅是随着温度线移动。故选C项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段关键句“When it comes to protecting a certain species, it’s not just about the current situation. Nature is dynamic. And the species that is present now might not be present in 10 years, not because we didn’t protect it but because maybe it is dynamic in its way. We need to include the dynamics of nature into our legislation and management.”（当涉及到保护某个物种时，不仅仅是当前的情况。自然是动态的。现在存在的物种可能在10年后就不存在了，不是因为我们没有保护它，而是因为它可能是动态的。我们需要将自然的动态纳入我们的立法和管理中。）可知，文章通过黑尾鹿和天鹅的例子告诉我们，自然是动态的，因此，当我们在保护动物时，也需要在动态的条件下保护动物，由此可知，这篇文章的目的是呼吁我们以动态的方式保护动物。故选B项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分) Some people seem to have a skill for learning languages. They can pick up new vocabulary, master rules of grammar, and learn to write in the new language more quickly than others. ___36___ First of all, successful language learners are independent learners. They do not depend on the book or teacher. ___37___They try to find the patterns and rules by themselves. They are good guessers who look for clues and form their own conclusions.

They find people who speak the language and ask these people to correct them when they make a mistake. ___39___They are not afraid to repeat what they hear or to say strange things. They are willing to make mistakes and try again. When communication is difficult, they can accept information that is inexact or incomplete. It is more important for them to learn to think in the language than to know the meaning of every word. ___40___They want to learn the language because they are interested in the language and the people who speak it.

She spends a plenty of time each day exploring websites and chatting with other people online. Instead of going to supermarket, nowadays she just presses a button and then her orders are delivered the next day. At first, my father has some doubt whether she was spending too much time in the virtual world, and now he sees how happy she is. She even downloads some materials what can help my father with his work, so now he’s very happy, too! We are all proud with her as she has proven that it’s never very late to learn a new skill. 【答案】1. it→one 2. 在has后加been 3. used→using 4. 去掉a 5. supermarket→supermarkets 6. has→had 7. and→but 8. what→that 9. with→of 10. very→too 【解析】 【导语】本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述作者89岁的奶奶用智能手机的故事。 【详解】1.考查代词。句意：她从来没有用过移动电话，直到今年她的生日，她才收到一个。及物动词used后面的宾语用代词，代替上文提到的a mobile phone这一类中的一个，所以用表示泛指的one来代替，it是指代上文提到的同一个。故将it改为one。 2.考查谓语动词。句意：从那时起，她就沉迷于网络，在她的移动设备上使用了不同的软件应用程序。分析句子结构和意思可知，动词addict和句子主语she是被动的关系，所以要用现在完成时的被动结构。故在has后加been。 3.考查非谓语动词。句意：见第2题详解。分析句子结构可知，动词use是做非谓语，是句子she主语主动发出的动作，所以用现在分词形式做状语。故将used改为using。 4.考查固定短语。句意：她每天花大量时间浏览网站，与其他人在网上聊天。plenty of是固定短语，表示“许多，大量”的意思。故将a去掉。 5.考查名词的数。句意：现在她不去超市了，只要按一下按钮，第二天就会收到订单。supermarket是可数名词，前面没有限定词，所以要用复数形式，表示泛指。故将supermarket改为supermarkets。 6.考查时态。句意：一开始，我父亲有点怀疑，她是不是在虚拟世界里花了太多时间，现在他看到了她有多快乐。分析句子结构和意思可知，这句话描述的是过去的事情，所以谓语要用一般过去时。故将has改为had。 7.考查连词。句意：见第6题详解。分析句子上下文意思可知，前后2个小分句之间是转折的关系。故将and改成but。 8.考查定语从句。句意：她甚至下载了一些可以帮助我父亲的工作的材料，所以现在他也很高兴！分析句子结构和意思可知，can help my father with his work是定语从句，先行词materials在从句中做主语，指物，前面有不定代词some修饰，所以只能用that引导定语从句。故将what改成that。 9.考查固定短语。句意：我们都为她感到骄傲，因为她证明了学习新技能永远不会太晚而不能学。be proud of是固定短语，表示“为…感到骄傲”的意思。故将with改为of。 10.考查固定搭配。句意：见第9题详解。分析句子结构和意思可知，这里需要固定搭配too…to do…表示“太…而不能”的意思。故将very改成too。 六、书信写作(共25分) 67. 假定你是李华，兼职为你校英文报工作。目前校报正在招募记者，你校的一名交换生Bill 有意参加此次面试并向你寻求建议，请你根据下列要点写一封回信。要点如下： 1. 准时到达； 2. 充满自信； 3. 阅读一些新闻报道的文章，收集相关的资料。 注意写作词数应为80左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Bill, _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Bill, Learning that you are willing to become a reporter of our school English newspaper, I’m glad to offer you some advice on how to perform well in the interview.

Christmas at my house meant colorful decorations, candles in every window, homemade dinners by Mom and her matching red coat. I always believed that someday my own kids would gather here and enjoy the traditions that had been passed down each December. Life had other plans Mom found breast cancer in 2006 and died three years later. Three years after her death. I made my yearly trip to my childhood home for Christmas with my dad and sister. When I hunted for Christmas decorations up in the attic, an unusual yellow envelope caught my eye. Inside was a never published children’s book by Mom, dated February 10, 1993. It was titled The Evil Stepmother (Who Wasn’t). It’s the story of a little girl who loses her mother to cancer. Her father soon remarries, and at Christmas, the girl returns home to find her stepmother crying with a woman’s photograph in her hands. The stepmother says that she lost her mother, too, and always misses her most at Christmas. I read Mom’s book and wondered why she had been moved to write it. She was years away from her cancer at the time. But there was no stepmother in our lives. So I put the book away, found the decorations I came for, and forgot abourt Mom’s book quickly. Without the home that had been full of so many memories, I didn’t celebrate Christmas any more. I began to avoid the holiday music and even, for a while, the color red. That changed in December 2017. Dad brought a woman to Christmas unexpectedly. When we first met we hugged each other shyly. Soon, she had Dad and me laughing. It was going so well. The three of us went out to pick out gifts. That’s when “While Christmas” began to play over the store’s speakers. I froze. It was the song Mom sang to me as a child to get me to sleep. Tears streamed down my face. We got home, and I went to my room to calm down. There was a knock on the door, Dad’s girlfriend. She told me that Christmas was hard for her too and that she had lost her mother to Alzheimer’s. “Do you see my coat?” she asked. “It was my mom’s. Your dad tells me your mother had a red coat too. Maybe we can wear them together sometime?” I remembered the scene from Mom’s book and hugged this woman who made my dad happy, who was offering us a second chance at Christmas. A year later, my sister and I attended Dad’s wedding. This past December, I hosted my first Christmas in New York. My stepmother and I decorated the house, candles in every window. We walked arm in arm down Broadway in our mothers’ red coats. 24. What is the first paragraph mainly about? A. The author’s happy childhood. B. The author’s hopes for the future. C. Some unforgettable Christmas traditions. D. The author’s sweet memories at Christmas. 25. The author didn’t celebrate Christmas anymore because ________.

The sensitive stepmother. You’re doing homework online for a science class. A question comes up: Do newborn human babies see the world in black and white? Do you guess or search for the answer? Searching online for the answer may get you a better grade on the homework. But a study suggests it won’t necessarily help you learn. Psychologist Amold Glass gave his students a series of quizstyle online homework assignments. The day before a lesson, students answered homework questions about the upcoming material. They answered similar questions in class a week later and again on the exam. If you read about a topic again and again, you’re not likely to remember it very well. But if you test yourself again and again, you will have better performance in the end. So the students in Glass’s classes should have performed better on each set of questions in the homework series, and then best of all on the exam. For many years students had improved through each set of questions and did best on the exam. But later, many students are doing more poorly on the exam than before. Glass wonders “What a bizarre result that is? How can it be? ” His students tend to blame themselves, thinking, “I’ m not smart enough,” or “I should have studied more.” He suspects something else is going on, so he think about what has changed over those 11 years. One big thing is the rise of smartphones. So it is easier today to quickly go online and find the answer to just about any homework question. But students can’t use phones during an exam. And that might explain why they aren’t doing as well on the tests. To test this, Glass and Kang asked students in 2017 and 2018 whether they came up with their homework answers themselves or looked them up. Students who tended to look up answers also tended to do better on homework than their exams. 28. What can we infer from the first 2 paragraphs? A. Doing homework online is a trend. B. Childish question is hard to answer. C. Thinking over a question helps you a lot. D. It is necessary to find an effective learning method. 29. What can we know about Amold Glass’ tests? A. Students get enough knowledge from tests. B. Questions on tests were chosen from homework. C. Students performed better on tests than on homework. D. Questions on tests had nothing to do with homework. 30. What does the underlined word “ bizarre” mean? A. Final. B. Strange. C. Possible. D. Obvious. 31. What would be the best title? A. Bad Effects of Online Knowledge B. Technology is not Always Good for Us C. What Is the Best Way to Get Knowledge D. Guessing Answers or Searching Them Online Climate change is changing the migration routes of animals worldwide. Take the mule deer for example. Every spring in Wyoming, green-up first appears at lower altitudes before progressing up the mountainside. Migrating mule deer follow and seek food on this green wave. But as a changing climate leads to more frequent and more severe droughts, the greenery is not as abundant as it used to be. Ellen Aikens, a researcher from the University of Wyoming, tracked mule deer as they surfed the green wave. In comparison to wet years, the green-up lasted across the landscape for about half as long in drought years and was also fragmented. Although the deer were able to keep up with the faster green wave, the nutritional value was lower, leaving the animals less prepared for the challenges of the year ahead. Meanwhile in Europe, the population of Bewick’s swans that spend the winter in the Netherlands is declining. But when researchers looked at the data more closely, they found an increase in the wintering population of swans in Germany. It turns out that since the 1970s, the swans’ wintering habitat has shifted an average of 13 kilometers to the east each year. “The swans like to spend time where it’s 5℃. And the temperature line has shifted in the same rate as the swans shifted eastward,” said Rascha Nuijten, an ecologist at the Netherlands Institute of Ecology. These findings are important to our understanding of the conservation of migrant animals. When it comes to protecting a certain species, it’s not just about the current situation. Nature is dynamic. And the species that is present now might not be present in 10 years, not because we didn’t protect it but because maybe it is dynamic in its way. We need to include the dynamics of nature into our legislation and management. 32. What’s the challenge the mule deer face? A. Wet years. B. Low altitudes. C. Fast green wave. D. Lack of quality food. 33. What do we know about Bewick’s swans from Paragraph 3? A. They are endangered. B. They used to spend winter in Germany. C. They move their wintering habitats eastward. D. Germany has more of them than the Netherlands. 34. What does Rascha Nuijten intend to tell us? A. Its warmer in the east. B. The 5℃ line shifts at a fast rate. C. The swans move with the temperature line. D. Climate change affects the swans’ feeding habits. 35. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To introduce two research findings. B. To appeal to protect animals in a dynamic way. C. To discuss methods of fighting climate change. D. To explain why animals change their migration routes. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分) Some people seem to have a skill for learning languages.
