Life was relatively normal until the last year when my older brother died of a rare disease. I locked myself in the high-ceiled classrooms and spent hours trying to figure out the shades of green in trees, and how words might fill my life blanks. Writing was all I had. Poetry got me out of bed at dawn and cured my pain. Then graduation came. After learning that to be a proper housewife was all the future I would hold, I boarded the city bus to the next state and announced I wanted to go to college. With no money but excellent academic performance and student editor experience, I got admitted. I published my first piece in the student literary magazine. I wrote and kept writing till I landed a job and got married. My poems got published often, and won small but significant awards until I discovered I couldn’t do two things at once and do both well. I would either write full time and starve or work full time and invest in family. With much regret, I resigned (辞职) as a small-press poetry editor, left my works on the shelves and only wrote occasionally in spare notebooks. I started every new year in expectation of a comeback because poems were in my blood. My retiring years found me resolved to regain the only thing I had always wanted to do: writing poems. I dug out the notebooks, edited and re-edited. Dusty drafts changed with time into poems. It dawned on me that I never stopped writing poems; I was a poet and life itself was poetry. So why do I write poems? Because I have to. It’s the first light of my day, my lifeline, and I won’t let it go. 24. How did the author view writing at the beginning? A. It earned her a great reputation. B. It helped her through painful time. C. It promoted her language learning. D. It guided her to defeat nervousness. 25. What made the author quit her editor job? A. The poor publication market. B. The disapproval of her family. C. The expectation to increase income. D. The imbalance between work and life. 26. What has the author learned from poetry? A. Poetry mirrors life. B. Time heals all wounds. C. Fortune prefers the creative. D. Polishing makes a good poem. 27. Which of the following might be the best title of the text? A. Growing Love: Stimulating Life Choice B. Lifelong Dawn: My Poetry Writing Journey C. Reaching Dreams: From Housewife to Poet D. Dramatic Change: Writing in Retiring Years 【答案】24. B 25. D 26. A 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要介绍的是作者从爱上写诗到由于生活不得不放弃写诗，再到退休后重新开始写诗的诗歌之旅。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据首段中的“Writing was all I had. Poetry got me out of bed at dawn and cured my pain.(写作是我的全部。诗歌使我在黎明时分起床，治愈了我的痛苦。)”可知，在作者看来，写作是她的全部，诗歌可以治愈作者的痛苦，由此可知，一开始写作帮助作者度过了痛苦的时光。故选B项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“I would either write full time and starve or work full time and invest in family. With much regret, I resigned (辞职) as a small-press poetry editor, left my works on the shelves and only wrote occasionally in spare notebooks.(我要么全职写作，然后挨饿，要么全职工作，然后投资家庭。带着极大的遗憾，我辞去了小出版社诗歌编辑的职务，把我的作品留在书架上，只是偶尔在备用笔记本上写点东西。)”可知，作者在全职写作和全职工作方面选择了投资家庭，由此可知，工作与生活的不平衡让作者决定辞去了编辑的工作。故选D项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“It dawned on me that I never stopped writing poems, I was a poet and life itself was poetry.(我突然意识到，我从未停止写诗，我是一个诗人，生活本身就是诗歌。)”可知，作意识到自己从来没有停止写诗，因为生活本身就是诗歌，由此可知，作者从诗歌中学到的是诗歌反映生活。故选A项。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据尾段中的“So why do I write poems? Because I have to. It’s the first light of my day, my lifeline, and I won’t let it go.(那么我为什么要写诗呢？因为我必须这么做。这是我一天的第一缕曙光，我的生命线，我不会放弃它的。)”以及上文中介绍的作者从中学开始写诗到由于生活缘故而放弃写诗，最后到退休后又开始写诗的诗歌创作之旅可知，本文主要介绍的是写诗是作者一生的曙光，是她的生命线，永远不能放弃，所以标题“一生的黎明：我的诗歌创作之旅”与本文的内容吻合，且概括了本文的主题，适合作为最佳标题。故选B项。 C They say procrastination is the thief of time — actually deadlines are. New research has found that if you want someone to help you out with something, it is best not to set a deadline at all. But if you do set a deadline, make it short. Professor Stephen Knowles tested the effect of deadline length on task completion for their research. Participants were invited to complete an online survey concerning a charity donation. They were given either one week, one month, or no deadline to respond. Professor Knowles says although the topic of the survey is about charity, the results are true of any situation where someone asks another person for help. The study found responses to the survey were lowest for the one-month deadline and highest when no deadline was specified. No deadline and the one- week deadline led to many early responses, while a long deadline appeared to give people permission to procrastinate, and then forget. Professor Knowles wasn’t surprised to find that specifying a shorter deadline increased the chances of receiving a response compared to a longer deadline. However, he did find it interesting that they received the most responses when no deadline was specified. “We interpret this as evidence that specifying a longer deadline, as opposed to a short deadline or no deadline at all, removes the urgency to act,” he says. “People therefore put off undertaking the task, and since they are inattentive or forget, postponing it results in lower response rates.” He says of the research that it is possible that not specifying a deadline might still have led participants to assume that there is an unspoken deadline. Professor Knowles hopes his research can help reduce the amount of procrastinating people do. “Many people procrastinate. They have the best intentions of helping someone out, but just do not get around to doing it. ” 28. Why did Professor Knowles do the research? A. To study the role a deadline plays in procrastination. B. To find out whether people are interested in charity. C. To attract public attention to the effects of procrastination. D. To test the effect of procrastination on task completion. 29. What most likely leads to procrastination? A. No deadlines. B. Short deadlines. C. Specific deadlines. D. Long deadlines. 30. What’s the attitude of Professor Knowles to the findings of the study? A. Interested. B. Conservative. C. Confused. D. Unsurprised. 31. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined word “inattentive”？ A. careless B. unimportant C. lazy D. difficult 【答案】28. A 29. D 30. D 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人们拖延与设定截止日期的时间长短有关。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Professor Stephen Knowles tested the effect of deadline length on task completion for their research. (Stephen Knowles教授在他们的研究中测试了截止日期长度对任务完成的影响)”可推知，Stephen Knowles教授做这项研究是为了研究设定截止日期对拖延这一行为的影响。故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“No deadline and the one- week deadline led to many early responses, while a long deadline appeared to give people permission to procrastinate, and then forget. (没有截止日期和一周的截止日期导致了许多早期的回复，而较长的截止日期似乎允许人们拖延，然后忘记)”可知，设定很长的截止日期最有可能导致拖延。故选D。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Professor Knowles wasn’t surprised to find that specifying a shorter deadline increased the chances of receiving a response compared to a longer deadline.( Knowles教授毫不惊讶地发现，与较长的截止日期相比，指定较短的截止日期会增加收到回复的机会)”可推知，Knowles教授对这项研究结果的态度是不惊讶的。故选D。 【31题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“People therefore put off undertaking the task, and since they are (因此，人们推迟了任务，因为他们)”以及后文“or forget, postponing it results in lower response rates (或者忘记，推迟任务会导致较低的回复率)”可知，此处指由于人们疏忽或忘记，人们会推迟完成任务，推迟任务会导致较低的回复率。故画线词意思是“疏忽的”。故选A。 D What Elon Musk has built on the remote mudflats (泥滩)at the southern tip of Texas is astonishing: huge metal structures, fuel storage tanks? and a silver rocket-all fronted by neon letters that spell out “Starbase”. But can SpaceX coexist with the original feathered inhabitants on the lower Gulf coast? Environmentalists from Brownsville to Washington, D. C. are protesting his ambitious vision to build, test and launch next-generation rockets in this fragile ecosystem. “It’s 24/7. The lights are really bright out here at night. I wouldn’t want to be nesting near any of this if I were a bird, “says Stephanie Bilodeau, a conservation bird biologist with a nonprofit program. “It doesn’t look like much, these vast mudflats she says, scanning the wetland, “but it’s undeniably important for shorebirds. The best habitat is right here.” Less than 100 yards behind her, a massive heavy-lift crane(吊车) is preparing the site for the next test launch. When Musk broke ground here in 2014, the fact that he was sandwiched between the Lower Rio Grande National Wildlife Refuge and a group of local residents didn’t cause alarm. Now it does. His original plans were to test and launch the slimmer Falcon 9 rocket a dozen times a year to launch satellites into orbit. But his plans have expanded--not surprising for Musk, who also owns the electric car company, Tesla. Today, he’s using this limited area of land to build and test his Super Heavy-Starship model. “Anytime you have progress, there’s nothing that doesn’t come with some downside/5 Musk told the local official. In April, NASA awarded SpaceX a $2.9 billion contract to build a Starship to take astronauts to the moon, though the contract has since been put on hold due to environmental concerns. SpaceX activities are partly supervised by Cameron County in Texas. The top elected official there, County Judge Eddie Trevino Jr., says they both should pay closer attention to private space company. “We probably weren’t doing what we should have been, so I understand the public’s concern and we’re trying to do a better job going forward.” 32. What does the underlined word “inhabitants” in the second paragraph refer to? A. Locals. B. Astronauts. C. Birds. D. Fishes. 33. What is the purpose of quoting Stephanie Bilodeau in Paragraph 3? A. To evaluate the overall effects of SpaceX. B. To introduce the environmental protection efforts. C. To explain the significance of the wetland for shorebirds. D. To compare various habitats in Texas. 34. Which of the following words can best describe Elon Musk? A. Hopeful and flexible. B. Ambitious but careless. C. Innovative but unreliable. D. Aggressive and confident. 35. What might the local officials do in the future? A. Stop funding Elon Musk. B. Monitor SpaceX\ development. C. Cooperate with NASA. D. Prioritize public opinions. 【答案】32. C 33. C 34. D 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章提出了马斯克在田纳西州建立了SpaceX 火箭基地，对当地的鸟类的生存形成威胁，引发环境保护主义者的不满。 【32题详解】 词义猜测题。由画线词所在句子“the original feathered inhabitants on the lower Gulf coast(墨西哥湾下游海岸的长有羽毛的原住居民)”以及第三段中的“but it’s undeniably important for shorebirds. The best habitat is right here. (但这块地对于滨鸟来说毋庸置疑很重要。这儿就是最好的栖息地。)”可推知，inhabitants在此处指鸟，故选C项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“The best habitat is right here.( 这儿就是最好的栖息地)”可知，引用鸟类学家Stephanie Bilodeau说的话的目的是要解释这块湿地对鸟类的重要性，故选C项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“But his plans have expanded-not surprising for Musk, who also owns the electric car company, Tesla. (但他的计划已经扩张了—对于同时是特斯拉电动车公司的拥有者的马斯克来说，这不奇怪。)”和“Anytime you have progress, there’s nothing that doesn’t come with some downside(在任何时候你取得进展的同时，都会有某些弊端)”可知，埃隆·马斯克是一个很有进取心、很自信的人，故选D项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“SpaceX activities are partly supervised by Cameron County in Texas. (SpaceX活动在一部分程度上由德克萨斯州的卡梅伦县进行监管。)”和“We probably weren’t doing what we should have been, so I understand the public’s concern and we’re trying to do a better job going forward. (可能我们之前没有做好该做的事，所以我理解公众的忧虑。我们现在正尽力更好地开展我们的工作。)”可推知，当地官员在未来可能要对SpaceX在当地的火箭基地发展项目进行监控，故选B 项。 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。 Scary movies are something you either really love or avoid at all costs. Generally, people should be running away from things that bring fear.____36____ It is a little confusing. According to psychologist Brownlowe, there are a few different reasons behind why people like scary movies. People like the feeling they get when they’re scared. Some people react differently to things that are scary. A study found that people who like scary movies tend to enjoy really strong feelings like fear. When you’re scared, your brain’s immediate response is to fight or flight. ___37___ For example, your heart may race and your muscles may tense. It can even cause you to scream or jump. “Believe it or not, for some people, this is a lot of fun,” Brownlowe says. It feels good to get through a scary movie. ____38____ According to Brownlowe, there’s a good reason why scary movies reduce nervousness. “The experience of your brain calming itself down after watching a scary movie is actually very dazzling,” Brownlowe says. “That’s because the dopamine (多巴胺) release causes an increased sense of well-being.” At the same time, it also feels good to go into an experience that seems scary or “risky” and then come out safe and sound. As Brownlowe says, “____39____To some extent, it can make things that seemed challenging easier to deal with in the future.” For example, some people may find that after watching a Halloween Scare Fest, it’s not as scary to ask their boss for a raise, or to give a public speech. ____40____ Watching a scary movie is an ideal way to get closer to others. A study found that fear-arousing situations, like watching a scary movie, can increase the attraction between two people. Aside from increasing attraction, it can even bring you closer together. Some even think that scary movies touch a deeper part of our collective consciousness as humans. “It draws us closer when we have a shared experience of being terrified of the dark, or ghosts, or killers,” Brownlowe says. A. It changes our attitudes to risk. B. It’s a great way to make new friends. C. People feel more connected to others. D. It pushes people into choosing simple tasks. E. When this happens, your entire body can react. F. But scary movies have a way of drawing people in. G. Some anxious people may find scary movies comforting. 【答案】36. F 37. E 38. G 39. A 40. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了人们喜欢恐怖电影的背后的几个原因。 【36题详解】 根据上文“Scary movies are something you either really love or avoid at all costs. Generally, people should be running away from things that bring fear.(恐怖电影是你要么真的很喜欢，要么不惜一切代价避免的东西。一般来说，人们应该远离带来恐惧的事物)”以及后文“It is a little confusing. According to psychologist Brownlowe, there are a few different reasons behind why people like scary movies.(这有点令人困惑。根据心理学家布朗洛的说法，人们喜欢恐怖电影的背后有几个不同的原因)”可知，本句与上文构成转折，指出人们被恐惧电影吸引，故F选项“但是恐怖电影有吸引人的方法”符合语境，故选F。 【37题详解】 根据上文“Some people react differently to things that are scary. A study found that people who like scary movies tend to enjoy really strong feelings like fear. When you’re scared, your brain’s immediate response is to fight or flight.(有些人对可怕的事情反应不同。一项研究发现，喜欢恐怖电影的人往往喜欢真正强烈的感觉，比如恐惧。当你害怕的时候，你的大脑的第一反应是战斗或逃跑)”以及后文“For example, your heart may race and your muscles may tense. It can even cause you to scream or jump. “Believe it or not, for some people, this is a lot of fun,” Brownlowe says.(例如，你的心跳加速，肌肉紧张。它甚至会让你尖叫或跳起来。“信不信由你，对一些人来说，这很有趣，”布朗洛说)”可知，后文提到了因为害怕心跳加速，肌肉紧张，说明身体会对此做出反应。故E选项“当这种情况发生时，你的整个身体都会做出反应”符合语境，故选E。 【38题详解】 根据后文“According to Brownlowe, there’s a good reason why scary movies reduce nervousness. “The experience of your brain calming itself down after watching a scary movie is actually very dazzling,” Brownlowe says. “That’s because the dopamine (多巴胺) release causes an increased sense of well-being.”(根据布朗洛的说法，恐怖片能减轻紧张情绪是有原因的。布朗洛说：“看完恐怖电影后，大脑平静下来的经历实际上是非常令人眼花缭乱的。这是因为多巴胺的释放会增加幸福感。”)”可知，后文提到恐怖片能减轻紧张情绪，并且看完恐怖电影，大脑因为多巴胺的释放会增加幸福感，说明一些焦虑的人会发现恐怖电影可以缓解他们的情绪。故G选项“一些焦虑的人可能会觉得恐怖电影很安慰”符合语境，故选G。 【39题详解】 根据上文“At the same time, it also feels good to go into an experience that seems scary or “risky” and then come out safe and sound.(与此同时，进入一个看似可怕或“冒险”的体验，然后安然无恙地出来，感觉也很好)”以及后文“To some extent, it can make things that seemed challenging easier to deal with in the future.(在某种程度上，它可以使那些看起来具有挑战性的事情在未来更容易处理)”可知，后文提到恐怖电影“可以使那些看起来具有挑战性的事情在未来更容易处理”，即恐怖电影可以改变我们对风险的看法或态度，故A选项“它改变了我们对风险的态度”符合语境，故选A。 【40题详解】 根据本段内容“Watching a scary movie is an ideal way to get closer to others. A study found that fear-arousing situations, like watching a scary movie, can increase the attraction between two people. Aside from increasing attraction, it can even bring you closer together. Some even think that scary movies touch a deeper part of our collective consciousness as humans. “It draws us closer when we have a shared experience of being terrified of the dark, or ghosts, or killers,” Brownlowe says.(看恐怖电影是拉近与他人关系的理想方式。一项研究发现，令人恐惧的场景，比如看恐怖电影，可以增加两个人之间的吸引力。除了增加吸引力，它甚至可以拉近你们的距离。有些人甚至认为恐怖电影触及了人类集体意识的更深层部分。布朗洛说：“当我们共同经历对黑暗、鬼魂或杀手的恐惧时，它会拉近我们的距离。”)”可知，本段的主旨是看恐怖电影可以与他人的联系更紧密。故C选项“人们感觉与他人联系更紧密”符合语境，故选C。 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。 Lino Marrero is a young inventor.

The image of him and his friends climbing to the top of a tree to get a bird’s nest hung in my mind for quite a while. I dreamed of peeking (窥视) into a bird’s nest that had eggs or small baby birds inside, like my father often did when he was a boy. But that was almost impossible. First, youngsters today are not allowed to climb trees. People think it is too dangerous. Second, we don’t have so many birds’ nests around anymore. The healthy eco-system (生态系统) of Dad’s youth is slowly disappearing. However, one day, my dream came true. It was a Saturday morning. My dad’s best friend, who I call Uncle Ben, invited us to visit his business. He sold used cars at his shop outside the city. There were a lot of trees around it. Uncle Ben led us through the parking lot, pointing out all kinds of different cars — different makes (品牌), models, years and prices. As we walked across the lot, we suddenly found something unusual — a bird’s nest on top of the back wheel of a big truck! I was excited to be so close. I looked at the nest in amazement. It was real — a real bird’s nest with a few eggs sitting inside. The nest looked strong and warm. How smart the little bird was to make such a pretty nest. And how creative it was to build the nest on the wheel for shelter (庇护) in this cold Canadian weather! Uncle Ben took a close look，but he was surprised to find a baby bird was hanging down a branch under the nest, with one of its leg hurt badly. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右; (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Watching the little bird struggling to move, I felt a deep sense of responsibility. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The mother bird circled several times over our head. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Watching the little bird struggling to move, I felt a deep sense of responsibility. Carefully, I approached the tiny creature, aware that it needed help. I gently scooped it up, cradling it in my hands. Its feathers were ruffled, and its little eyes blinked in confusion. My dad and Uncle Ben watched as I examined its injured leg, trying to find a way to help. After a moment, I spotted a sturdy branch nearby. With some efforts, I fashioned a small splint using twigs and leaves, securing it with a piece of soft cloth. Slowly, I placed the little bird back into the nest, hoping it would find comfort with its siblings. The mother bird circled several times over our heads. I felt a mixture of fear and joy as she landed cautiously near her nest. Her eyes darted between us and the nest, and I held my breath, hoping she would accept my help. Then, with a soft chirp, she approached the little bird, nuzzling it gently. It was a touching moment that brought tears to my eyes. The mother seemed to understand what we had done, and I could see gratitude shining in her eyes. She fluffed her feathers and began to feed her babies, a clear sign that everything was alright. 【解析】 【导语】本文以一只被挂在树枝上的小鸟为线索展开，讲述了作者对这只小鸟产生了爱心，小心翼翼的把它放回鸟巢，大鸟重新爱护小鸟的故事。 【详解】 1. 段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“看着小鸟挣扎着移动，我感到一种深深的责任感。”可知，第一段可描写作者在爸爸和叔叔的帮助下照顾受伤的小鸟，并把它放回鸟窝。 ②由第二段首句内容“母鸟在我们头顶盘旋了好几圈。”可知，第二段可描写小作者把小鸟放回鸟巢以后，她为小鸟担心，大鸟慢慢接受自己的孩子并且流露出对人类的感激。 2.续写线索：发现小鸟——处置伤处——决定放回——成功放回——大鸟感激。 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①检查：examine/check ②看到：spot/find ③帮助：help/assist 情绪类 ①快乐：joy/delight ②使我热泪盈眶：brought tears to my eyes/My eyes were filled with tears. 【点睛】 【高分句型1】I gently scooped it up, cradling it in my hands.（运用了分词作状语） 【高分句型2】It was a touching moment that brought tears to my eyes.（运用了that引导的限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $英语听力模拟。试题。第一节听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。So what brings you to beijing?

Looking for a new direction, they decided to start a new project by selling used books. They started small, buying eight hundred books from an amazon bookseller and selling them in their own front out. Today, they have a large storage building with space for one hundred thousand titles. Most of the books come from libraries, charity shops and private donations. Even badly broken books are turned into auto materials so as to keep them out of waste. The books are sold for between one dollar and three dollars, while a small number of books over one hundred years old sell for as little as ten dollars.

I locked myself in the high-ceiled classrooms and spent hours trying to figure out the shades of green in trees, and how words might fill my life blanks. Writing was all I had. Poetry got me out of bed at dawn and cured my pain. Then graduation came. After learning that to be a proper housewife was all the future I would hold, I boarded the city bus to the next state and announced I wanted to go to college. With no money but excellent academic performance and student editor experience, I got admitted. I published my first piece in the student literary magazine. I wrote and kept writing till I landed a job and got married. My poems got published often, and won small but significant awards until I discovered I couldn’t do two things at once and do both well. I would either write full time and starve or work full time and invest in family. With much regret, I resigned (辞职) as a small-press poetry editor, left my works on the shelves and only wrote occasionally in spare notebooks. I started every new year in expectation of a comeback because poems were in my blood. My retiring years found me resolved to regain the only thing I had always wanted to do: writing poems. I dug out the notebooks, edited and re-edited. Dusty drafts changed with time into poems. It dawned on me that I never stopped writing poems; I was a poet and life itself was poetry. So why do I write poems? Because I have to. It’s the first light of my day, my lifeline, and I won’t let it go. 24. How did the author view writing at the beginning? A. It earned her a great reputation. B. It helped her through painful time. C. It promoted her language learning. D. It guided her to defeat nervousness. 25. What made the author quit her editor job? A. The poor publication market. B. The disapproval of her family. C. The expectation to increase income. D. The imbalance between work and life. 26. What has the author learned from poetry? A. Poetry mirrors life. B. Time heals all wounds. C. Fortune prefers the creative. D. Polishing makes a good poem. 27. Which of the following might be the best title of the text? A. Growing Love: Stimulating Life Choice B. Lifelong Dawn: My Poetry Writing Journey C. Reaching Dreams: From Housewife to Poet D. Dramatic Change: Writing in Retiring Years C They say procrastination is the thief of time — actually deadlines are. New research has found that if you want someone to help you out with something, it is best not to set a deadline at all. But if you do set a deadline, make it short. Professor Stephen Knowles tested the effect of deadline length on task completion for their research. Participants were invited to complete an online survey concerning a charity donation. They were given either one week, one month, or no deadline to respond. Professor Knowles says although the topic of the survey is about charity, the results are true of any situation where someone asks another person for help. The study found responses to the survey were lowest for the one-month deadline and highest when no deadline was specified. No deadline and the one- week deadline led to many early responses, while a long deadline appeared to give people permission to procrastinate, and then forget. Professor Knowles wasn’t surprised to find that specifying a shorter deadline increased the chances of receiving a response compared to a longer deadline. However, he did find it interesting that they received the most responses when no deadline was specified. “We interpret this as evidence that specifying a longer deadline, as opposed to a short deadline or no deadline at all, removes the urgency to act,” he says. “People therefore put off undertaking the task, and since they are inattentive or forget, postponing it results in lower response rates.” He says of the research that it is possible that not specifying a deadline might still have led participants to assume that there is an unspoken deadline. Professor Knowles hopes his research can help reduce the amount of procrastinating people do. “Many people procrastinate. They have the best intentions of helping someone out, but just do not get around to doing it. ” 28. Why did Professor Knowles do the research? A. To study the role a deadline plays in procrastination. B. To find out whether people are interested in charity. C. To attract public attention to the effects of procrastination. D. To test the effect of procrastination on task completion. 29. What most likely leads to procrastination? A. No deadlines. B. Short deadlines. C. Specific deadlines. D. Long deadlines. 30. What’s the attitude of Professor Knowles to the findings of the study? A. Interested. B. Conservative. C. Confused. D. Unsurprised. 31. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined word “inattentive”？ A. careless B. unimportant C. lazy D. difficult D What Elon Musk has built on the remote mudflats (泥滩)at the southern tip of Texas is astonishing: huge metal structures, fuel storage tanks? and a silver rocket-all fronted by neon letters that spell out “Starbase”. But can SpaceX coexist with the original feathered inhabitants on the lower Gulf coast? Environmentalists from Brownsville to Washington, D. C. are protesting his ambitious vision to build, test and launch next-generation rockets in this fragile ecosystem. “It’s 24/7. The lights are really bright out here at night. I wouldn’t want to be nesting near any of this if I were a bird, “says Stephanie Bilodeau, a conservation bird biologist with a nonprofit program. “It doesn’t look like much, these vast mudflats she says, scanning the wetland, “but it’s undeniably important for shorebirds. The best habitat is right here.” Less than 100 yards behind her, a massive heavy-lift crane(吊车) is preparing the site for the next test launch. When Musk broke ground here in 2014, the fact that he was sandwiched between the Lower Rio Grande National Wildlife Refuge and a group of local residents didn’t cause alarm. Now it does. His original plans were to test and launch the slimmer Falcon 9 rocket a dozen times a year to launch satellites into orbit. But his plans have expanded--not surprising for Musk, who also owns the electric car company, Tesla. Today, he’s using this limited area of land to build and test his Super Heavy-Starship model. “Anytime you have progress, there’s nothing that doesn’t come with some downside/5 Musk told the local official. In April, NASA awarded SpaceX a $2.9 billion contract to build a Starship to take astronauts to the moon, though the contract has since been put on hold due to environmental concerns. SpaceX activities are partly supervised by Cameron County in Texas. The top elected official there, County Judge Eddie Trevino Jr., says they both should pay closer attention to private space company. “We probably weren’t doing what we should have been, so I understand the public’s concern and we’re trying to do a better job going forward.” 32. What does the underlined word “inhabitants” in the second paragraph refer to? A. Locals. B. Astronauts. C. Birds. D. Fishes. 33. What is the purpose of quoting Stephanie Bilodeau in Paragraph 3? A. To evaluate the overall effects of SpaceX. B. To introduce the environmental protection efforts. C. To explain the significance of the wetland for shorebirds. D. To compare various habitats in Texas. 34. Which of the following words can best describe Elon Musk? A. Hopeful and flexible. B. Ambitious but careless. C. Innovative but unreliable. D. Aggressive and confident. 35. What might the local officials do in the future? A. Stop funding Elon Musk. B. Monitor SpaceX\ development. C. Cooperate with NASA. D. Prioritize public opinions. 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。 Scary movies are something you either really love or avoid at all costs. Generally, people should be running away from things that bring fear.____36____ It is a little confusing. According to psychologist Brownlowe, there are a few different reasons behind why people like scary movies. People like the feeling they get when they’re scared. Some people react differently to things that are scary. A study found that people who like scary movies tend to enjoy really strong feelings like fear. When you’re scared, your brain’s immediate response is to fight or flight. ___37___ For example, your heart may race and your muscles may tense. It can even cause you to scream or jump. “Believe it or not, for some people, this is a lot of fun,” Brownlowe says. It feels good to get through a scary movie. ____38____ According to Brownlowe, there’s a good reason why scary movies reduce nervousness. “The experience of your brain calming itself down after watching a scary movie is actually very dazzling,” Brownlowe says. “That’s because the dopamine (多巴胺) release causes an increased sense of well-being.” At the same time, it also feels good to go into an experience that seems scary or “risky” and then come out safe and sound. As Brownlowe says, “____39____To some extent, it can make things that seemed challenging easier to deal with in the future.” For example, some people may find that after watching a Halloween Scare Fest, it’s not as scary to ask their boss for a raise, or to give a public speech. ____40____ Watching a scary movie is an ideal way to get closer to others. A study found that fear-arousing situations, like watching a scary movie, can increase the attraction between two people. Aside from increasing attraction, it can even bring you closer together. Some even think that scary movies touch a deeper part of our collective consciousness as humans. “It draws us closer when we have a shared experience of being terrified of the dark, or ghosts, or killers,” Brownlowe says. A. It changes our attitudes to risk. B. It’s a great way to make new friends. C. People feel more connected to others. D. It pushes people into choosing simple tasks. E. When this happens, your entire body can react. F. But scary movies have a way of drawing people in. G. Some anxious people may find scary movies comforting. 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。 Lino Marrero is a young inventor.

The image of him and his friends climbing to the top of a tree to get a bird’s nest hung in my mind for quite a while. I dreamed of peeking (窥视) into a bird’s nest that had eggs or small baby birds inside, like my father often did when he was a boy. But that was almost impossible. First, youngsters today are not allowed to climb trees. People think it is too dangerous. Second, we don’t have so many birds’ nests around anymore. The healthy eco-system (生态系统) of Dad’s youth is slowly disappearing. However, one day, my dream came true. It was a Saturday morning. My dad’s best friend, who I call Uncle Ben, invited us to visit his business. He sold used cars at his shop outside the city. There were a lot of trees around it. Uncle Ben led us through the parking lot, pointing out all kinds of different cars — different makes (品牌), models, years and prices. As we walked across the lot, we suddenly found something unusual — a bird’s nest on top of the back wheel of a big truck! I was excited to be so close. I looked at the nest in amazement. It was real — a real bird’s nest with a few eggs sitting inside. The nest looked strong and warm. How smart the little bird was to make such a pretty nest. And how creative it was to build the nest on the wheel for shelter (庇护) in this cold Canadian weather! Uncle Ben took a close look，but he was surprised to find a baby bird was hanging down a branch under the nest, with one of its leg hurt badly. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右; (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Watching the little bird struggling to move, I felt a deep sense of responsibility. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The mother bird circled several times over our head. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
