She could hear Joanne playing her guitar every afternoon when they got home from school. And she could hear Tommy practicing the piano for hours at a time. Sylvia had a sweet singing voice.
“There is so much talent right on this street,” Kara said to her mother. “I wish everyone could see and hear all the great things.”
“Have you ever thought about setting up a talent show?” her mother said. “So all the kids can show what they can do.”
“A great idea, Mom,” Kara said. Soon Kara started to prepare for the talent show. To attract as many people as possible, Kara made some beautiful posters and put them up all around her neighborhood. Soon, everyone was talking about what they were going to do in the show.
Kara was pleased that everyone wanted to be in her talent show. But she couldn’t help feeling a little sad. “I wish I had a talent so I could be in the show, too,” she told her mother.
Her mother smiled. “I think you will discover something about yourself by the end of the day.” she said.
Kara went to the park a little early and set up a small stage for the performers. Everyone brought chairs to sit on the cool grass. Soon Kara’s friends began to perform one by one. The audience cheered loudly after each act. When it was over, everyone told Kara how wonderful her talent show was.
“What a success your show was, Kara!” said her mother as they walked home. “And I think we’ve discovered what your talent is! You are the best organizer.”

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Kara通过组织才艺展示发现了自己组织能力的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第一段中“Kara’s neighborhood was filled with any children of her age. She knew everyone on her street and how talented they were. (Kara的邻居都是和她同龄的孩子。她认识这条街上的每个人,知道他们都很有才华。)”可知,Kara认为他们在某些方面很有天赋。故选B。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第六段中“Kara was pleased that everyone wanted to be in her talent show. But she couldn’t help feeling a little sad. (Kara很高兴每个人都想参加她的才艺表演。但她还是忍不住感到有点难过。)”可知,Kara一开始很高兴,但随后感到有些悲伤。再由文章倒数第二段中“When it was over, everyone told Kara how wonderful her talent show was. (比赛结束后,每个人都告诉卡拉她的才艺表演有多精彩。)”和最后一段中“What a success your show was, Kara! (你的节目太成功了,Kara!)”可知,她的表演非常成功,所以她最后应该是很高兴的。因此,她的情感变化是“高兴→悲伤→高兴”。故选A。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。由文章最后一段中“And I think we’ve discovered what your talent is! You are the best organizer. (我想我们已经发现了你的天赋!你是最好的组织者。)”可知,在妈妈眼中,Kara有出色的组织演出的能力。故选D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是由文章第一段中“She knew everyone on her street and how talented they were. (她认识这条街上的每个人,知道他们都很有才华。)”、第六段“Kara was pleased that everyone wanted to be in her talent show. But she couldn’t help feeling a little sad. “I wish I had a talent so I could be in the show, too,” she told her mother. (Kara很高兴每个人都想参加她的才艺表演。但她还是忍不住感到有点难过。“我希望我有天赋,这样我也能参加这个节目,”她告诉她的母亲。)”和最后一段中“And I think we’ve discovered what your talent is! You are the best organizer. (我想我们已经发现了你的天赋!你是最好的组织者。)”可知,邻居家的孩子们都有自己的才能,而Kara的才能是组织活动。这可以推断出每个人都有自己特殊的才能。故选B。
C
If you turn over a plastic bottle, like those we use to drink water, you'll notice a number "1"— that means it's made of a material called PET. Some bags, like the kind that holds milk or coffee, get a "2", meaning they're made of a material called HDPE. At material recovery factories, plastics get sorted (分类) based on these numbers (they go up to 7), which shows how recyclable (可回收的) they are.
Plastic marking numbers 1 and 2 are recyclable. They can be made into carpet, clothing, plastic package, as well as other products, according to Live Science.
Recycling gets more difficult with higher numbers called "mixed plastic". This waste makes up 69% of all the plastic we use in the daily life. It's much more expensive to deal with than numbers 1 and 2. In the past, mixed plastics would be sent to other countries. But two years ago, almost no country was allowed to buy foreign plastic waste.
Recycling companies had to find a new market, but many failed. For example, in Los Angeles, recycling companies still won't recycle any plastics with numbers higher than 2. Instead, they are burying or burning them.
According to Live Science, what the USA needs is machines that can be used to recycle other kinds of plastic. But Hocevar, a scientist, comes up with a different solution: "The really simple answer is there isn't so much throwaway plastic in the world."
Someone may ask, "Is recycling worth it?" For bottles with "1" or"2", the answer is "yes", said Hocevar. There's also a growing market for plastics marked "5", a flexible (灵活的) plastic that includes yogurt containers (酸奶容器). For other numbers, the answer was simpler; a "no" on numbers3, 4, 6 and7.
8. What does the number on plastic products mean?
A. How recyclable the products are.
B. Where the products were made.
C. What recycle technology is needed.
D. Where the products would end up.
9 What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3?
A. The cost to recycle mixed plastic.
B. The solution to dealing with plastic waste.
C. The plastic waste in our daily life.
D. The difficultly in recycling mixed plastic.
10. What is Hocevar's suggestion?
A. Burn or bury mixed plastic.
B. Stop producing mixed plastic products.
C. Sell the mixed plastics to other countries.
D. Make more machines to recycle mixed plastic.
11. Where might you find a number "5"?
A. On a milk container. B. On a coffee bag.
C. On a yogurt container. D. On a water bottle.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了美国目前对塑料的回收情况,一份调查报告显示,只有带有数字1或2的塑料能够回收,而大多数其他类型的混合塑料通常是被埋葬或烧毁。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段末句“At materials recovery factories, plastics get sorted based on these numbers (they go up to 7), which shows how recyclable they are.” (在材料回收工产,塑料依据这些数字进行分类,这些数字表明了他们的回收性)”可知,塑料是依据上面的数字进行分类的,这些数字表示它们的可回收性。故选A项。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。本段主要介绍了数字越大回收难度越大,而所谓的“混合塑料”很难进行回收处理,它们在生活中占比例大、处理成本高,没有国家购买等。故选D项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“The really simple answer is there isn't so much throwaway plastic in the world.(最简单的一个答案是世界上不要有如此多的塑料制品丢弃行为)”以及最后一段末句“For other numbers, the answer was simpler: a“no” on numbers3, 4, 6 and 7.(于我而言,答案更简单,那就是对数字是3,4,6和7的塑料说不)”可知,Hocevar的建议是不再生产那些数字不是1,2,5的混合塑料。故选B项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“There's also a growing market for plastics marked “5”,a flexible plastic that includes yogurt containers.(市场对数字为5的塑料有增长的需求,这是一个灵活的分类,包括酸奶容器)”可知,在酸奶容器上会发现数字5。故选C项。
D
A man enters a store to buy milk. He walks out of the store with milk. That is all — milk. At the same time, a woman enters the same grocery store also to buy milk. She buys it. But, she also buys chicken and lemons to make dinner that night. Then she remembers to buy food for her son to eat at the school. She also gets a bottle of wine for drinks with friends and a birthday card for her husband’s niece. Then she gets coffee for breakfast, ice cream for dessert and remembers stamps to mail the bills.
And that is the difference between the female and male brains. It can be simply explained in a grocery store. Generally speaking, men do one thing at a time. Women do many. Doing many things at a time is often called “multi-tasking”, a very popular word these days.
Now scientific research supports this theory about male and female brains. They found that male brains have more connections on one side of the brain, or hemisphere (脑半球). In the female brain, they found more activities and connections between the right and left sides of the brain. The left side of the brain is known as the side of “reason”. The right hemisphere is known as the “creative” side.
Regina Verma is a professor at the University of Pennsylvania. She says when women are asked to do something difficult they use different parts of the brain. Men, she adds, generally use just one side of the brain. As a result, men generally deal directly with a problem. Women, however, might include other parts of the brain, like the part connected with reason and the part connected with sensitivity (理智) when solving a problem.
12. A woman with the purpose of buying milk will go to the store and buy_______.
A. nothing but milk B. more things than planned
C. a lot of things except milk D. all the things that she likes
13. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Male brains develop better than female brains.
B. It’s necessary for women to use different parts of the brain.
C. Men should use two sides of the brain to solve a problem.
D. Women may think more when finding a solution to the problem.
14. In which section of a newspaper can we find this passage?
A. Business. B. Life. C. Science. D. Education
15. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. Do One Thing or Do Many a Time B. Men and Women Think Differently
C. The Male and Female Interest in Shopping D. The Study on The Behavior of Men and Women
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。研究发现男性和女性的行为不同,主要是因为他们的大脑结构不同,考虑问题时运用大脑的部分不同。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“At the same time, a woman enters the same grocery store also to buy milk. She buys it. But, she also buys chicken and lemons to make dinner that night. Then she remembers to buy food for her son to eat at the school. She also gets a bottle of wine for drinks with friends and a birthday card for her husband’s niece. Then she gets coffee for breakfast, ice cream for dessert and remembers stamps to mail the bills.(与此同时,一名妇女也进入同一家杂货店买牛奶。她买了。但是,她也买了鸡肉和柠檬做晚餐。然后她记得给儿子买食物在学校吃。她还买了一瓶和朋友一起喝的酒,以及一张送给丈夫侄女的生日贺卡。然后她买了咖啡当早餐,冰淇淋当甜点,并记得寄账单的邮票)”可知,一位去买牛奶的女士买的东西会比原计划多。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Women, however, might include other parts of the brain, like the part connected with reason and the part connected with sensitivity (理智) when solving a problem.(然而,女性在解决问题时可能包括大脑的其他部分,比如与理性有关的部分和与敏感有关的部分)”可知,女性在解决问题时会用到大脑的其他部分,由此推知,她们在解决一个问题时会考虑更多。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Now scientific research supports this theory about male and female brains.(现在,科学研究支持这一关于男性和女性大脑的理论)”可知,本文主要介绍对男女大脑研究的发现,由此推知本文最有可能在报纸的科学版块读到。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章的主要内容可知,本文主要介绍研究发现男性和女性的行为不同,主要是因为他们的大脑结构不同,考虑问题时运用大脑的部分不同。再结合第二段的“Generally speaking, men do one thing at a time. Women do many. Doing many things at a time is often called “multi-tasking”, a very popular word these days.(一般来说,男人一次只做一件事。女人做很多。一次做很多事情通常被称为“多任务”,这是一个非常流行的词)”可知,“一次做一件还是多件事”可以作为文章的标题,吸引读者。故选A。
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。
We live in a world where we are usually exposed to (接触) news on social media that can be scary, upsetting, or confusing. ____16____ However, as Mr. Rogers, the beloved host of a children’s show, once said, “When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helpful.’ ”
One of the places where we can look for “the helpers” is on social media platforms. ____17____ For example, Ryan Kaji is a 9-year-old boy who runs the channel Ryan’s World. He makes videos about science experiments and games that are fun and educational for kids. He also donates to charities and causes that he cares about.
_____18_____ One problem is finding reliable (可靠) and exact sources of information. Not all content on social media platforms is trustworthy. Some content creators may just want to make money from ads. Therefore, it is important to judge the reliability of the sources before we trust their content. Another challenge is keeping a healthy balance between online and offline activities. Spending too much time online can do harm to our physical health, such as causing headaches or sleep problems. Therefore, it is important to limit our screen time by doing other activities. ____19____
Looking for helpers on social media can be a valuable way to find hope and comfort in difficulty.___20___ Then we will form our own opinions. We can also be helpers ourselves by sharing helpful content on social media that can make a difference in the world.
A. We’d better find some topics to talk about with the helper.
B. Exercising, reading, and learning art are all good choices.
C. Phones and computers have made information easier to gain.
D. They offer a lot of content that can educate or support young viewers.
E. It enables us to see things from different viewpoints and learn new things.
F. However, looking for helpers on social media also comes with some challenges.
G. Sometimes, it can be hard to deal with the negative thoughts that these events cause.
【答案】16. G 17. D 18. F 19. B 20. E
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了社交媒体上的负面新闻会引起消极的想法,有时很难处理这些消极的想法,可以在社交媒体平台上寻找“帮手”,文章讲述了这种做法的挑战及好处。
【16题详解】
上文“We live in a world where we are usually exposed to (接触) news on social media that can be scary, upsetting, or confusing.(我们生活在这样一个世界里,我们经常在社交媒体上看到可怕的、令人不安的或令人困惑的新闻)”提到,样一个世界里,我们经常在社交媒体上看到可怕的、令人不安的或令人困惑的新闻,根据下文“However, as Mr. Rogers, the beloved host of a children’s show, once said, “When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helpful.’ ”(然而,正如深受喜爱的儿童节目主持人Rogers先生曾经说过的那样,“当我还是个孩子的时候,我经常在新闻中看到可怕的事情,我妈妈会对我说,‘去找帮手吧。你总能找到乐于助人的人。’”)”可知,空处与下文是转折关系,应是提到对于负面新闻导致的情绪无法独自处理的情况,G项“有时候,处理这些事件引起的消极想法是很困难的”符合语境,故选G。
【17题详解】
上文“One of the places where we can look for “the helpers” is on social media platforms.(我们可以在社交媒体平台上寻找‘帮手’)”提到我们可以在社交媒体平台上寻找“帮手”,D项“它们提供了很多可以教育或支持年轻观众的内容”承接上文,说明社交平台可以提供一些帮助,D项中的“They”指代上文的“social media platforms”,故选D。
【18题详解】
根据下文“One problem is finding reliable (可靠) and exact sources of information. Not all content on social media platforms is trustworthy.(一个问题是找到可靠的和准确的信息来源。并非社交媒体平台上的所有内容都值得信赖)”可知,此处描述社交媒体平台的问题,与上一段之间是转折关系,F项“然而,在社交媒体上寻找帮手也面临着一些挑战”符合语境,故选F。
【19题详解】
上文“Spending too much time online can do harm to our physical health, such as causing headaches or sleep problems. Therefore, it is important to limit our screen time by doing other activities.(花太多时间上网会损害我们的身体健康,比如引起头痛或睡眠问题。因此,通过做其他活动来限制看屏幕的时间是很重要的)”提到花太多时间上网会损害我们的身体健康,可以做一些其他活动代替,B项“锻炼、阅读和学习艺术都是不错的选择”承接上文,举例说明一些具体的活动,故选B。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Looking for helpers on social media can be a valuable way to find hope and comfort in difficulty.(在社交媒体上寻找帮手是在困难中找到希望和安慰的宝贵途径)”和下文“Then we will form our own opinions.(然后我们会形成我们自己的观点)”可知,此处是说明在社交媒体寻找帮手的好处,E项“它使我们能够从不同的角度看待事物并学习新事物”能够承上启下,符合语境,故选E。

38. him 39. in
40. teaching
41. choices
42. that 43. thought

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Jesse决定暑期做志愿者,选择了帮助建房的故事。
【36题详解】

【37题详解】
考查形容词。句意:但今年他想做一些不同且有帮助的事情。本空用形容词helpful“有帮助的”,与前面的different并列,作后置定语,修饰不定代词something。故填helpful。
【38题详解】

【43题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:所以他认为这可能会是一次非常有意义的经历。本句描述的是过去的情况,所以时态要用一般过去时,谓语用think“认为”的过去式。故填thought。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:尽管这是他第一次建房子,但他渴望学习。Although引导的让步状语从句的谓语为is,此处为非谓语动词,固定句型It’s one’s first time to do sth.表示“这是某人第一次做某事”,本空用build“建”的不定式。故填to build。
【45题详解】
考查冠词。句意:Jesse很确定这个夏天将是一个难忘的夏天。此处泛指“一个难忘的夏天”,且unforgettable为以元音音素开头,所以要用不定冠词an。故填an。

She could hear Joanne playing her guitar every afternoon when they got home from school. And she could hear Tommy practicing the piano for hours at a time. Sylvia had a sweet singing voice.
“There is so much talent right on this street,” Kara said to her mother. “I wish everyone could see and hear all the great things.”
“Have you ever thought about setting up a talent show?” her mother said. “So all the kids can show what they can do.”
“A great idea, Mom,” Kara said. Soon Kara started to prepare for the talent show. To attract as many people as possible, Kara made some beautiful posters and put them up all around her neighborhood. Soon, everyone was talking about what they were going to do in the show.
Kara was pleased that everyone wanted to be in her talent show. But she couldn’t help feeling a little sad. “I wish I had a talent so I could be in the show, too,” she told her mother.
Her mother smiled. “I think you will discover something about yourself by the end of the day.” she said.
Kara went to the park a little early and set up a small stage for the performers. Everyone brought chairs to sit on the cool grass. Soon Kara’s friends began to perform one by one. The audience cheered loudly after each act. When it was over, everyone told Kara how wonderful her talent show was.

If you turn over a plastic bottle, like those we use to drink water, you'll notice a number "1"— that means it's made of a material called PET. Some bags, like the kind that holds milk or coffee, get a "2", meaning they're made of a material called HDPE. At material recovery factories, plastics get sorted (分类) based on these numbers (they go up to 7), which shows how recyclable (可回收的) they are.
Plastic marking numbers 1 and 2 are recyclable. They can be made into carpet, clothing, plastic package, as well as other products, according to Live Science.
Recycling gets more difficult with higher numbers, called "mixed plastic". This waste makes up 69% of all the plastic we use in the daily life. It's much more expensive to deal with than numbers 1 and 2. In the past, mixed plastics would be sent to other countries. But two years ago, almost no country was allowed to buy foreign plastic waste.
Recycling companies had to find a new market, but many failed. For example, in Los Angeles, recycling companies still won't recycle any plastics with numbers higher than 2. Instead, they are burying or burning them.
According to Live Science, what the USA needs is machines that can be used to recycle other kinds of plastic. But Hocevar, a scientist, comes up with a different solution: "The really simple answer is there isn't so much throwaway plastic in the world."
Someone may ask, "Is recycling worth it?" For bottles with "1" or"2", the answer is "yes", said Hocevar. There's also a growing market for plastics marked "5", a flexible (灵活的) plastic that includes yogurt containers (酸奶容器). For other numbers, the answer was simpler; a "no" on numbers3, 4, 6 and7.
8. What does the number on plastic products mean?
A. How recyclable the products are.
B. Where the products were made.
C. What recycle technology is needed.
D. Where the products would end up.
9. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3?
A. The cost to recycle mixed plastic.
B. The solution to dealing with plastic waste.
C. The plastic waste in our daily life.
D. The difficultly in recycling mixed plastic.
10. What is Hocevar's suggestion?
A. Burn or bury mixed plastic.
B. Stop producing mixed plastic products.
C. Sell the mixed plastics to other countries.
D. Make more machines to recycle mixed plastic.
11. Where might you find a number "5"?
A. On a milk container. B. On a coffee bag.
C. On a yogurt container. D. On a water bottle.
D
A man enters a store to buy milk. He walks out of the store with milk. That is all — milk. At the same time, a woman enters the same grocery store also to buy milk. She buys it. But, she also buys chicken and lemons to make dinner that night. Then she remembers to buy food for her son to eat at the school. She also gets a bottle of wine for drinks with friends and a birthday card for her husband’s niece. Then she gets coffee for breakfast, ice cream for dessert and remembers stamps to mail the bills.
And that is the difference between the female and male brains. It can be simply explained in a grocery store. Generally speaking, men do one thing at a time. Women do many. Doing many things at a time is often called “multi-tasking”, a very popular word these days.
Now scientific research supports this theory about male and female brains. They found that male brains have more connections on one side of the brain, or hemisphere (脑半球). In the female brain, they found more activities and connections between the right and left sides of the brain. The left side of the brain is known as the side of “reason”. The right hemisphere is known as the “creative” side.
Regina Verma is a professor at the University of Pennsylvania. She says when women are asked to do something difficult they use different parts of the brain. Men, she adds, generally use just one side of the brain. As a result, men generally deal directly with a problem. Women, however, might include other parts of the brain, like the part connected with reason and the part connected with sensitivity (理智) when solving a problem.
12. A woman with the purpose of buying milk will go to the store and buy_______.
A. nothing but milk B. more things than planned
C a lot of things except milk D. all the things that she likes
13. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Male brains develop better than female brains.
B. It’s necessary for women to use different parts of the brain.
C. Men should use two sides of the brain to solve a problem.

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。
We live in a world where we are usually exposed to (接触) news on social media that can be scary, upsetting, or confusing. ____16____ However, as Mr. Rogers, the beloved host of a children’s show, once said, “When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helpful.’ ”
One of the places where we can look for “the helpers” is on social media platforms. ____17____ For example, Ryan Kaji is a 9-year-old boy who runs the channel Ryan’s World. He makes videos about science experiments and games that are fun and educational for kids. He also donates to charities and causes that he cares about.
_____18_____ One problem is finding reliable (可靠) and exact sources of information. Not all content on social media platforms is trustworthy. Some content creators may just want to make money from ads. Therefore, it is important to judge the reliability of the sources before we trust their content. Another challenge is keeping a healthy balance between online and offline activities. Spending too much time online can do harm to our physical health, such as causing headaches or sleep problems. Therefore, it is important to limit our screen time by doing other activities. ____19____
Looking for helpers on social media can be a valuable way to find hope and comfort in difficulty.___20___ Then we will form our own opinions. We can also be helpers ourselves by sharing helpful content on social media that can make a difference in the world.
A. We’d better find some topics to talk about with the helper.
B. Exercising, reading, and learning art are all good choices.
C. Phones and computers have made information easier to gain.
D. They offer a lot of content that can educate or support young viewers.
E. It enables us to see things from different viewpoints and learn new things.
F. However, looking for helpers on social media also comes with some challenges.
G. Sometimes, it can be hard to deal with the negative thoughts that these events cause.
