An automatic fine will be imposed if this occurs.”（学生禁止干扰消防安全设备。如果发生，将自动处以罚款。）可知，玩消防安全设备的人最有可能被罚款。故选B。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“All students are expected to read and learn the School Rules.”（所有学生都要阅读和学习校规）可知，文章主要介绍了学生要遵守的学校校规，由此可推知，这篇文章是写给学生的。故选B。 B After graduating from Ontario College of Teachers, I became a teacher at a one-room country school in Aldborough Township. That first day of school as a 19-year-old female teacher was a frightening experience. It was one thing to have graduated as a successful student; it was another thing to face a classroom of little faces that were waiting for the “new teacher”. I had a classroom of 21 children of different shapes and sizes. The youngest was five going on six and the eldest was 16. There were two doors for entrance in my school, one for the girls, one for the boys and just inside each door was a chemical toilet — no outdoor equipment for us! The heat in the building was a wood-burning furnace (火炉) down in the basement. Looking after the furnace was one of my responsibilities. Luckily, I knew a bit about starting a fire, so the school didn’t burn down. What I found most difficult was that a parent might take a child out of school for any reason. I had one Dutch family, whose father would keep the children out of school to help with the farm work. Finally, I got tired of this and sent an education officer to solve the problem. Needless to say, I was very unpopular with that father from then on, but the children came to school much more regularly! In the classroom, the older students helped the younger ones with learning, as well as with putting on coats and hats. If someone’s lunch was forgotten, everyone shared a bit of their food. We were a family. We had good times and bad times, but we kept learning. Far beyond maths, social studies, reading, grammar and writing, we learned how to get along with each other. I loved teaching at this small school and knew I was teaching the children about life as much as about subjects. I’d like to believe some students will have an effect on the world that will last long after I am gone. 4. Why did the writer feel her first day as a teacher frightening? A. There were so many students in the class. B. The situations were quite different. C. There was no outdoor equipment. D. The students were curious about her. 5. What do we know about the school? A. It was badly equipped. B. The playground was large. C. It was once damaged by a fire. D. The students were of similar age. 6. What was a headache for the writer? A. A Dutch family hated her. B. The students preferred farm work. C. The education officer offered little help. D Some parents didn’t care about their children’s education. 7. What can be inferred from Paragraph 5? A. They cared about each other. B. They had an effect on the world. C. They laughed away bad times. D. They did well in almost every subject. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者毕业后，到一所乡村学校教书的经历。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“It was one thing to have graduated as a successful student; it was another thing to face a classroom of little faces that were waiting for the “new teacher”. (作为一名成功的学生毕业是一回事；面对一群等待“新老师”的小脸是另一回事。)”可知，作者第一天当老师感到害怕，是因为作者面临的情况和自己当学生时完全不同。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“There were two doors for entrance in my school, one for the girls, one for the boys and just inside each door was a chemical toilet — no outdoor equipment for us! The heat in the building was a wood-burning furnace (火炉) down in the basement. (我的学校有两扇门，一扇给女生，一扇给男生，每扇门里面都有一个化学厕所——我们没有户外设备!大楼里的暖气来自地下室的一个烧木头的炉子。)”可知，学校没有户外设备，暖气来自烧木头的炉子，学校里的设施比较落后。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“What I found most difficult was that a parent might take a child out of school for any reason. (我发现最困难的是父母可能会以任何理由让孩子离开学校。)”可知，家长可能会让孩子辍学，说明让作者最头疼的是一些父母忽视孩子的教育。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“In the classroom, the older students helped the younger ones with learning, as well as with putting on coats and hats. If someone’s lunch was forgotten, everyone shared a bit of their food. We were a family. We had good times and bad times, but we kept learning. (在教室里，年长的学生帮助年幼的学生学习，以及穿上外套和帽子。如果某人的午餐被忘记了，每个人都会分享一点他们的食物。我们是一家人。我们有过快乐的时光，也有过痛苦的时光，但我们一直在学习。)”可知，作者和学生们相互关心。故选A。 C It is difficult for a teacher to decide whether to allow students to listen to music in the classroom. Every time students need to write an essay or work on a problem, they say, “Can I put my headphones on? I think better that way.” But is that really true? Does music help concentrate? Research offers little to back up the idea that listening to music improves concentration. In one small study, 133 students performed reading tasks while listening to either light music, hip hop, or no music at all. Students who performed the reading tasks in silence scored the highest. Music with a higher intensity (强度) like hip hop was more distracting and had a bad effect on task performance. Volume (音量) plays a more important role than the type of music. The study found that the louder the music, the worse the performance in concentration. The type of music didn’t matter. Data from the study showed once again that silence was the best environment to improve concentration. However, music has a positive effect on work performance. Studies have showed that listening to music leads to positive changes in mood, as well as creativity. In fact, in music-listening cultures, which students are certainly part of, there’s actually a change in mood when the music is taken away. It’s hard to convince my students that music doesn’t help with their concentration. Taj, a senior told me, “I wouldn’t be able to concentrate if I were listening to music and trying to read. However, when I write, I feel like music helps me concentrate deeply. I don’t have writer’s block. It’s easy for me to put my words on paper.” “Maybe not with reading, but when it comes to math, listening to music certainly helps,” Danela told me. “You could actually be singing along with what you’re listening to and doing well in math.” 8. What does the underlined word “distracting” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Making it difficult for someone to concentrate. B. Causing great excitement. C. Making someone want to do something. D. Making someone feel frightened. 9. What can we learn from the small study? A. Students do well in reading tasks while listening to music. B. Music can’t improve people’s mood and creativity. C. Different types of music lead to different performances. D. The volume of music affects concentration. 10. What do Taj and Danela have in common? A. They believe music doesn’t help concentrate. B. They use music to help with their paper-writing. C. They can’t focus on reading while listening to music. D. They don’t listen to music while doing math problems. 11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Should Students Listen to Music? B. Does Music Help Concentration? C. Is Music Related to Reading? D. Can Music Change Mood? 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了听音乐是否有助于集中注意力的问题。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。 根据第二段第一句“Research offers little to back up the idea that listening to music improves concentration.(研究几乎没有提供什么支持听音乐可以提高注意力的观点)”可知，本段主要讨论听音乐是否能提高注意力，结合画线单词上文和下文“Music with a higher intensity (强度) like hip hop was more distracting had a greater negative effect on task performance and concentration.(高强度的音乐，如嘻哈音乐更distracting，对任务表现和注意力有更大的负面影响)”可知，高强度的音乐，如嘻哈音乐是不能提高注意力的，是使人分心的，所以划线单词“distracting”的意思是“使人分心的”，和A选项“Making it difficult for someone to concentrate.(让人难以集中注意力)”意思相近，故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第三段中的“The study found that the louder the music, the worse the performance in concentration.(研究发现，音乐越响，注意力越差)”可知，音量会影响注意力，故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。 根据倒数第二段中的“Taj, a senior told me “I wouldn’t be able to concentrate if I were listening to music and trying to read.(Taj，一个高年级学生，他告诉我，“如果我听音乐并试图阅读，我会不能集中注意力”)”和最后一段中的““Maybe not with reading, but when it comes to math, listening to music certainly helps,” Danela told me.(Danela告诉我：“听音乐也许对阅读没有好处，但是当涉及到数学时，听音乐肯定有帮助。”)”可知，Taj和Danela的共同之处在于，他们在听音乐时，无法集中精力阅读，故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。 通读全文，尤其是第一段“It is difficult for a teacher to decide whether to allow students to listen to music in the classroom. Every time students need to write an essay or work on a problem, they say, “Can I put my headphones on? I think better that way.” But is that really true? Does music help concentrate?(老师很难决定是否允许学生在教室里听音乐。每次学生需要写文章或解决问题时，他们都会说：“我能戴上耳机吗？”我觉得这样更好。”但这是真的吗？音乐有助于集中注意力吗？)”可知，文章主要就听音乐是否有助于集中注意力进行了讨论，所以B项“Does Music Help Concentration?(音乐有助于集中注意力吗？)”适合做文章的标题，故选B。 D At the beginning of my Senior Two, I received my letter from the New York University (NYU) exchange program, and I was very relieved (如释重负的). I finally had the chance to take high level courses, experience college student life, and gain some extra credit. My aim was to learn the basics of accounting, economics, marketing, and psychology. When I arrived, I found that there were only 30 students in the program. I was so excited, but also nervous. I was worried that I would not make friends in my new environment. However, I turned out to be totally wrong. NYU hosts free events every week, giving students the chance to meet new people and explore New York City. My favorite events were the Broadway show trips. But there were always a limited number of spots. Therefore, I had to sign up online as soon as I received the reminder and hope that I would be chosen to go. This summer, I have watched ten Broadway shows, including To Kill a Mockingbird, Aladdin, and Frozen. Actually, I was fully attracted by the shows. Watching a performance almost every week was so amazing. On the way to the different shows, I always met someone new and we’d often chat about our lives. I was so thankful for making so many new friends. By the time the shows were finished, it was usually late at night. However, I wasn’t scared as Times Square was always so busy, filled with people and lights. This summer was the best ever and I certainly caught a glimpse (一瞥) into college life at NYU. Surprisingly, it is not as scary as I thought. 12. Who might be the author of this text? A. A college student. B. A high school student. C. A high school teacher. D. A student’s parent. 13. What made the author anxious when arriving at New York? A. ’ The difficult courses. B. The challenging program. C. The trouble in making friends. D. The strict and serious teachers. 14. Why are the Broadway shows mentioned in paragraph 3? A. To introduce some Broadway shows. B. To show the author’s performance skills. C. To attract people to watch Broadway shows. D. To express the author’s appreciation for the program. 15. What can be the best title for the text? A. A Taste of NYU College Life B. An Exploration in New York C. The Amazing Courses at NYU D. The Attractive Shows of Broadway 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者得到机会去纽约大学体验校园生活。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“At the beginning of my Senior Two, I received my letter from the New York University (NYU) exchange program, and I was very relieved (如释重负的). I finally had the chance to take high level courses, experience college student life, and gain some extra credit.”（高二开始时，我收到了纽约大学（NYU）交换项目的来信，我感到非常欣慰。我终于有机会参加高级课程，体验大学生生活，并获得一些额外的学分。）可知，文章作者是一名高中生。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“I was so excited, but also nervous. I was worried that I would not make friends in my new environment.”（我很兴奋，但也很紧张。我担心我在新环境中交不到朋友。）可知，作者抵达纽约时感到紧张是因为担心自己在交朋友方面有困难。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Actually, I was fully attracted by the shows. Watching a performance almost every week was so amazing.”（事实上，我完全被这些节目吸引住了。几乎每周都看一场演出真是太棒了。）可知，作者认为每周去看一场演出非常棒，被节目吸引了，所以作者在第三段提到百老汇演出是在表达作者对于该节目的喜爱。故选D项。 【15题详解】 标题判断题。通读全文，文章主要讲述了作者得到机会去纽约大学，去体验校园生活，所以“纽约大学校园生活的体验”可以作为文章标题。故选A项。 第二节(共5 小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Tennis, basketball, soccer, swimming — these are examples of the hundreds, maybe thousands, of sports in the world. People in every country play some kind of athletic game. Why do people spend so much time and energy playing sports? ____16____ Good health is one big advantage to playing sports. ____17____ Scientists in Finland discovered that even between twins, the exercising one had more muscle, more energy, and healthier hearts and lungs.

First, playing sports makes people feel good about themselves. ____19____ Second, when we exercise, our brains produce chemicals that make us feel good. When people run around for two hours playing a basketball game, they often feel great even if they lose the game. There are a lot of other reasons why people play sports, but studies show that the biggest reason is enjoyment.

It may be because playing sports has a lot of advantages. E. Good health is not the only reason that people play sports. F. Exercise can make people stronger and help them live longer lives. G. Sports allow people to realize the importance of physical and mental health. 【答案】16. D 17. F 18. E 19. C 20. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章分析了人们从事体育运动的原因。 【16题详解】 上文“Why do people spend so much time and energy playing sports?(为什么人们花这么多时间和精力去运动?)”用why提出问题，D项“It may be because playing sports has a lot of advantages.(这可能是因为体育运动有很多好处)”用because给出答案，同时引出下文对“advantages”的具体说明，上下文语意连贯。故选D项。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Good health is one big advantage to playing sports.(身体健康是从事体育运动的一大优势)”和下文“Scientists in Finland discovered that even between twins, the exercising one had more muscle, more energy, and healthier hearts and lungs. The one who did not play any sports had less energy and more fat.(芬兰科学家发现，即使是双胞胎，运动的那一个也有更多的肌肉、更多的精力、更健康的心肺。不参加任何运动的人能量更少，脂肪更多)”可知，本段表达的观点是从事体育运动让人更健康。F项“Exercise can make people stronger and help them live longer lives.(锻炼可以使人更强壮，帮助他们长寿)”表达了同样的观点，其中“make people stronger and help them live longer lives”与上文“Good health”相照应，上下文语意连贯。故选F项。 【18题详解】 根据下文“Another reason is that they want to be social. (另一个原因是他们想要社交)”中“Another reason”可知，上文中会先给出一个原因，E项“Good health is not the only reason that people play sports.(良好的健康并不是人们做运动的唯一原因)”承接上一段，提出身体健康是从事体育运动的原因之一，但不是唯一原因，进而引出下文中的另一个原因，上下文语意连贯。故选E项。 【19题详解】 上文“First, playing sports makes people feel good about themselves.(首先，运动让人自我感觉良好)”提出运动让人自我感觉良好，C项“Finishing a long race can make someone feel confident.(完成一场长跑可以让人感到自信)”对此进行举例说明，句中“feel confident”与上文“feel good about themselves”相照应，上下文语意连贯。故选C项。 【20题详解】 上文“There are a lot of other reasons why people play sports, but studies show that the biggest reason is enjoyment. When asked why they play sports, most people said they play because it’s fun.(人们从事体育运动还有很多其他原因，但研究表明，最大原因是享受。当被问及为什么做运动时，大多数人说他们做运动是因为好玩)”提出人们从事体育运动的最大原因是享受和好玩，B项“They don’t have to play — they want to play.(他们不是必须要运动——他们是想运动)”承接上文，进一步揭示人们从事体育运动的原因是自己想运动。故选B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。 Senior Zach Snow flew to Germany in July of 2017.With ___21___ of only staying for a week, his then stationed dad presented him with a ___22___ opportunity (机会) to discover the world. “My dad was staying in Stuttgart, Germany, working for the Army, and ___23___ me to stay with him for the school year, ” Snow stated. “I wanted to say no because I wanted to spend my senior year with my friends, ” Snow added.“I ___24___ staying because my dad kind of forced me to stay.”___25___ for the first little while, Snow decided to ___26___ and make the most out of his situation.“I found out, since I was in the heart of Europe, that I would try to ___27___ as much as I could.I started off with going to Paris, ” stated Snow.

B After graduating from Ontario College of Teachers, I became a teacher at a one-room country school in Aldborough Township. That first day of school as a 19-year-old female teacher was a frightening experience. It was one thing to have graduated as a successful student; it was another thing to face a classroom of little faces that were waiting for the “new teacher”. I had a classroom of 21 children of different shapes and sizes. The youngest was five going on six and the eldest was 16. There were two doors for entrance in my school, one for the girls, one for the boys and just inside each door was a chemical toilet — no outdoor equipment for us! The heat in the building was a wood-burning furnace (火炉) down in the basement. Looking after the furnace was one of my responsibilities. Luckily, I knew a bit about starting a fire, so the school didn’t burn down. What I found most difficult was that a parent might take a child out of school for any reason. I had one Dutch family, whose father would keep the children out of school to help with the farm work. Finally, I got tired of this and sent an education officer to solve the problem. Needless to say, I was very unpopular with that father from then on, but the children came to school much more regularly! In the classroom, the older students helped the younger ones with learning, as well as with putting on coats and hats. If someone’s lunch was forgotten, everyone shared a bit of their food. We were a family. We had good times and bad times, but we kept learning. Far beyond maths, social studies, reading, grammar and writing, we learned how to get along with each other. I loved teaching at this small school and knew I was teaching the children about life as much as about subjects. I’d like to believe some students will have an effect on the world that will last long after I am gone. 4. Why did the writer feel her first day as a teacher frightening? A. There were so many students in the class. B. The situations were quite different. C. There was no outdoor equipment. D. The students were curious about her. 5. What do we know about the school? A. It was badly equipped. B. The playground was large. C. It was once damaged by a fire. D. The students were of similar age. 6. What was a headache for the writer? A. A Dutch family hated her. B. The students preferred farm work. C. The education officer offered little help. D. Some parents didn’t care about their children’s education. 7. What can be inferred from Paragraph 5? A. They cared about each other. B. They had an effect on the world. C. They laughed away bad times. D. They did well in almost every subject. C It is difficult for a teacher to decide whether to allow students to listen to music in the classroom. Every time students need to write an essay or work on a problem, they say, “Can I put my headphones on? I think better that way.” But is that really true? Does music help concentrate? Research offers little to back up the idea that listening to music improves concentration. In one small study, 133 students performed reading tasks while listening to either light music, hip hop, or no music at all. Students who performed the reading tasks in silence scored the highest. Music with a higher intensity (强度) like hip hop was more distracting and had a bad effect on task performance. Volume (音量) plays a more important role than the type of music. The study found that the louder the music, the worse the performance in concentration. The type of music didn’t matter. Data from the study showed once again that silence was the best environment to improve concentration. However, music has a positive effect on work performance. Studies have showed that listening to music leads to positive changes in mood, as well as creativity. In fact, in music-listening cultures, which students are certainly part of, there’s actually a change in mood when the music is taken away. It’s hard to convince my students that music doesn’t help with their concentration. Taj, a senior told me, “I wouldn’t be able to concentrate if I were listening to music and trying to read.

D At the beginning of my Senior Two, I received my letter from the New York University (NYU) exchange program, and I was very relieved (如释重负的). I finally had the chance to take high level courses, experience college student life, and gain some extra credit. My aim was to learn the basics of accounting, economics, marketing, and psychology. When I arrived, I found that there were only 30 students in the program. I was so excited, but also nervous. I was worried that I would not make friends in my new environment. However, I turned out to be totally wrong. NYU hosts free events every week, giving students the chance to meet new people and explore New York City. My favorite events were the Broadway show trips. But there were always a limited number of spots. Therefore, I had to sign up online as soon as I received the reminder and hope that I would be chosen to go. This summer, I have watched ten Broadway shows, including To Kill a Mockingbird, Aladdin, and Frozen. Actually, I was fully attracted by the shows. Watching a performance almost every week was so amazing. On the way to the different shows, I always met someone new and we’d often chat about our lives. I was so thankful for making so many new friends. By the time the shows were finished, it was usually late at night. However, I wasn’t scared as Times Square was always so busy, filled with people and lights. This summer was the best ever and I certainly caught a glimpse (一瞥) into college life at NYU. Surprisingly, it is not as scary as I thought. 12. Who might be the author of this text? A. A college student. B. A high school student. C. A high school teacher. D. A student’s parent. 13.

Why are the Broadway shows mentioned in paragraph 3? A. To introduce some Broadway shows. B. To show the author’s performance skills. C. To attract people to watch Broadway shows. D. To express the author’s appreciation for the program. 15. What can be the best title for the text? A. A Taste of NYU College Life B. An Exploration in New York C. The Amazing Courses at NYU D.
