Some books are action-packed, urging readers to turn the page and find out what happens next. Other books invite readers to engage with the characters and pull readers into their stories. Wonder, by R.J. Palacio, is the latter. In fact, very little “action” happens within its pages, yet its anti-bullying and self-acceptance message is well received by readers.
Auggie feels like an ordinary boy but his face is what scares kids and makes people stare. After reconstructive surgeries, Auggie is sent to a mainstream school. Though the idea terrifies Auggie, he bravely gives it a go. Students laugh at him and start a game called Plague, in which people “catch” a “disease” once touching Auggie. However, Auggie does make close friends: Summer, who likes Auggie for who he is, and Jack, who starts out as Auggie’s “assigned” friend. Later, a “war” starts at school, with popular boys against Auggie and his friends. Luckily, through thick and thin, Auggie manages to fit in at school.
It’s the straightforward manner in which Palacio approaches her topic that makes this an excellent book. Auggie might have an extraordinary face, but he’s a regular kid, and that makes him relatable (引起共鸣的). Palacio also shifts her point of view, telling the story through the eyes of characters other than Auggie. This allows readers to know other characters and their standpoint, like Auggie’s sister who talks about the way her brother takes up the family’s attention.
Even though Wonder is recommended for children, the book’s theme makes it interesting for a wider audience. Palacio thought of the idea for Wonder when she and her children were on vacation. While there, they saw a young girl who had a condition similar to Auggie’s. Her children reacted impolitely, which got Palacio thinking about what the girl went through on a daily basis and how she could have better taught her children to respond to similar situations.
24. Which aspect of the book is talked about in paragraph 1?
A. Its characters. B. Its readers.
C. Its storyline. D. Its feature.
25. What can be inferred about the game Plague?
A. It may reveal students’ medical conditions.
B. It may put Auggie in an awkward situation.
C. It may be approved by the teaching staff.
D. It may help others get familiar with Auggie.
26. Which contributes to making the book excellent?
A. The direct and clear delivery of the theme.
B. The contrary positions taken by its characters.
C. The relatable characters with regular looks.
D. The vivid description of the teenage period.
27. What inspired the author to write the book?
A. A case study about girls. B. An official business trip.
C. A previous life experience. D. A rare incident in school.

When Christopher Mazurek realizes he’s dreaming, it’s always the small stuff that tips him off. The first time it happened, Mazurek was a freshman at Northwestern University. In the dream, he found himself in a campus dining hall. It was winter, but Mazurek wasn’t wearing his favorite coat. “I realized that, OK, if I don’t have the coat, I must be dreaming,” Mazurek says. That epiphany (顿悟) rocked the dream like an earthquake. “Gravity shifted, and I was flung down a hallway that seemed to go on for miles,” he says. “My left arm disappeared, and then I woke up.”
Most people rarely if ever realize that they’re dreaming while it’s happening, which is known as lucid (清醒的) dreaming. But some enthusiasts have developed techniques to become self-aware in their sleep and even wrest some control over their dream selves and settings.
Other lucid dreamers have used their personal virtual realities to explore their subconscious minds for insights or feast on junk food without real-world consequences. But now, scientists have a new job for lucid dreamers: To explore their dreamscapes and report out in real time. “The special thing about lucid dreaming is that you can get even closer to dream content and in a much more controlled and systematic fashion,” says Martin Dresler, a cognitive neuroscientist. Lucid dreamers who can perform assigned tasks and communicate with researchers during a dream open up ideal opportunities to study an otherwise untouchable field. They are like the astronauts of the dream world, serving as envoys (使者) to the mysterious inner spaces created by sleeping minds.
So far, tests in very small groups of lucid dreamers suggest that the strange realities we visit in sleep may be experienced more like the real world than imagined ones. With more envoys participating, researchers hope to find out how sleeping brains construct their complex, often unusual plots and set pieces. Besides satisfying age-old curiosity, this work may point to new ways to treat nightmares. Lucid dream studies could also offer clues about how dreams contribute to creativity, controlling emotions or other cognitive jobs — helping solve the grand mystery of why we dream.
28. What made Christopher Mazurek realize he was dreaming?
A. He obtained a favorite coat by himself.
B. He found himself wearing the wrong clothes.
C. He noticed part of his left arm disappeared.
D. He had an accident in the hallway.
29. What can we know about lucid dreaming?
A. People can have some control in lucid dreaming.
B. It’s all about exploring subconscious thoughts.
C. Dreamers can do whatever they want in lucid dreaming.
D. It enables researchers to serve as envoys to sleeping minds.
30. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 3?
A. How dreamers take advantage of lucid dreams.
B. Why people can realize they are dreaming.
C. How researchers make use of lucid dreamers.
D. Why astronauts can serve as envoys to the inner spaces.
31. What potential benefits do lucid dream studies offer according to the article?
A. Treating nightmares and satisfying curiosity.
B. Solving the mystery of why we sleep.
C. Developing ways to improve creativity.
D. Controlling negative emotions.
D
Imagine finding yourself in a spoken word event (also known as performance poetry). You’re attracted by the performer on stage as he conveys his deepest thoughts to the room:
Today I bought you flowers,
How strange meanings can change,
What was once a symbol of joy is now one of pain,
A universal language for when you don’t know what to say.
The crowd is attentive but far from silent. Throughout the performance, you hear clapping and cheers, expressing approval of specific lines. And then the poem ends with thunderous applause and the poet returns to his seat. The performance has ended, but its energy continues to exist throughout the night.
Spoken word events are far from your standard poetry reading. Many people today think of poetry as a silent, individual act but it actually started as an oral (口头的) tradition. Before mass literacy, poems and stories were shared verbally and performed to the public. In modern times, mass media provided audiences with alternative means of entertainment and the art of storytelling declined. The recent and increasing popularity of the spoken word is poetry returning to its oral roots.
The spoken word helps people achieve healing and emotional balance. It shares many benefits with written poetry, including helping us organize our thoughts, process our emotions and promote self-reflection. However, it’s not just the sharing of poetry that is healing. It’s the connections that form between the audience and the poet. This adds to the degree of social connection, which is central to the essence of spoken word poetry. Poets can be themselves in this safe space, where they avoid being judged and laughed at. The feeling of healing also applies to audience members who relate to the poet’s words. Hearing someone who is going through the same feelings or experiences that you are going through or have experienced in the past can make you feel less alone and more connected to others, knowing that the struggles are shared.
The spoken word is an unbelievably accessible art form. There are very few rules, and the form is interpreted fairly broadly. As long as you are performing an original piece which doesn’t include any offensive (冒犯的) content, it will be accepted at a spoken word event.
32. Why is the scene of a performance mentioned in the first paragraph?
A. To draw readers’ attention to the spoken word.
B. To call on audience to participate in the event.
C. To inform the content of a spoken word event.
D. To highlight the importance of spoken word poetry.
33. What does the word “verbally” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. In private. B. On stage.
C. In spoken words. D. With enthusiasm.
34. What’s the core of spoken word poetry according to the passage?
A. The sharing of individual poems among performers.
B. The same feelings and experiences connecting people.
C. The promotion of self-reflection and emotional balance.
D. The extent of relationships between the poets and audience.
35. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Reading Aloud in Public B. More Than Poetry Reading
C. A New Kind of Spoken Events D. The Popularity of the Spoken Word

Truly Enjoy Your Life
The secret to truly enjoying life lies in making small changes to your everyday lives.
36 They will help you realize what you can do to enjoy your life to the fullest.
Surround yourself with positive and loving people. Sometimes there’s nothing more enjoyable than spending time with beloved family members or great friends. Make an effort to spend quality time with the people closest to you. 37 Even if you can’t meet up in person, you can stay connected by texting, calling or interacting over social media.
Love yourself and show yourself sympathy. When you love yourself, you begin to start viewing yourself and your life through a more positive lens. Tell yourself things like, “I’m a good person,” “I’m strong,” and “I deserve to be loved.” When treating yourself with sympathy, you’re more likely to feel happy and achieve success. 38 Reward yourself for making progress and continuing to grow. Make sure to celebrate even the smallest signs of progress and growth rather than only praising yourself for the successes you’ve achieved. Give yourself an encouraging pat on the back occasionally. 39 Reward yourself with small breaks throughout the work day or buy yourself a treat whenever you cross something off your to-do list.
Be honest about your wants and needs. Rather than bottling up all of your thoughts and keeping them to yourself, let others know when you need something. Doing so can really help you become more confident. 40 When living life on your own terms, you’ll be happier and more content. State your opinions and honest thoughts but remain respectful and listen to others as well.
A. It will keep you motivated to do your best.
B. The following are some practical tips for you.
C. Try to keep in constant touch with your good friends.
D. You can also feel like you have control over your life.
E. You might unavoidably meet with rejection from others.
F. Do your best to avoid those who are unfriendly towards you.
G. Being forgiving to yourself can help lower feelings of stress, anger and hurt.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
As my dad and I stood on the beach watching the sunrise, a perfect, spotted shell was washed ashore. I couldn’t believe my eyes. All vacation I had hoped to find such a treasure. I ran to my dad happily. “It is a gift from the sea. Take good care of it,” Dad said. I turned it over. Inside, the shell was as pink as a bunny’s ear. “I will,” I assured him, cradling (轻柔地抱着) the shell carefully.
Back in the hotel room, my older brother Vikram was taking pictures of seagulls on the balcony. “Vikram, look!” I said, holding out my treasure. “An ordinary shell. No big deal,” he replied, seeming uninterested. My mom had just emerged from the bathroom and saw the shell. “Pretty,” she exclaimed, adding that it was something to share with my classmates. Suddenly, I couldn’t wait for school to start.
“Let’s visit the boardwalk,” my mom suggested, and that evening, we would pack for home. As I slipped the shell into my pocket, my mom warned me that it might get lost if I took it with me. “Best to leave it here,” she stroked my hair.
I placed the shell on my nightstand (床头柜) and then headed to the boardwalk with my mom. Dad stayed at the hotel. So did Vikram, who was busy taking pictures.
At the boardwalk, I saw shells for sale, but none were as special as mine. For the whole walk, I had been thinking about it. Back at the hotel, I just couldn’t wait to run to my room to admire the shell. However, it was gone! Only a pinch of sand remained.
“My shell!” I cried, “Did you see my shell, daddy?” Dad asked me to think about where I had put it. I checked everywhere I could think of, and I was on the verge of crying. Even Vikram joined me in searching for my treasure. Suddenly, he saw something. “Look!” pointed Vikram.
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。
“It’s a hermit crab (寄居蟹)!” exclaimed Vikram.
As Vikram and I walked to the beach, I stared down at the shell I so wanted to keep.

38. G “Love yourself and show yourself sympathy.”是本段的主题句。再结合空前的内容“当你带着同情心对待自己时,你更有可能感到快乐并取得成功。”可知,空处应是继续介绍“同情自己”的好处。G项“宽恕你自己可以帮助减轻压力、愤怒和委屈。”符合语境。“Being forgiving to yourself”与“show yourself sympathy”有相同的意思。故选G。
39. A 根据空前的内容“偶尔鼓励一下自己。”可知,空处应是接着说这样做的好处。A项“这会让你有动力做到最好。”符合语境。此外,前一句中的“encouraging”是关键词,因为自己受到了鼓励,所以会尽力去做到最好。另外,A项中的“It”指代前面提到的“Give yourself an encouraging pat on the back”这种做法。故选A。
40. D 空前一句“这样做确实可以帮助你变得更加自信。”是“诚实地表达你的渴望和需要”的好处,所以空处应介绍其他好处。D项“你也会觉得你对自己的生活拥有控制权。”不仅符合此处的语境,而且也呼应了本段的第二句“Rather than bottling up all of your thoughts and keeping them to yourself ...”,当自己需要什么东西的时候就说出来,让别人知道,这样你就会觉得自己可以控制自己的生活,而不是把自己所有的想法都藏在心里。故选D。

第四部分 写作
第一节
参考范文:
Dear Mr. Jenkins,
I’m Li Hua from the school English song choir. Regarding the song chosen for the Spring Festival party, I’m writing to express my opinions and suggestions.
Firstly, I’m more than glad and grateful that you have been making efforts to select an appropriate program. However, I’m afraid Auld Lang Syne is not a good choice for its melody. In China, the Spring Festival has been a symbol of reunion and festivity, whose atmosphere should be happy and joyful. What’s more, the performers and audience may be immersed in an ocean of sorrow when appreciating Auld Lang Syne.
Therefore, a song full of happiness and joy can be a better choice. Time permitting, a play reflecting students’ daily life composed by ourselves can leave a deep impression.
I would appreciate it if you could take my suggestion into consideration. Looking forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
第二节
参考范文:
“It’s a hermit crab (寄居蟹)!” exclaimed Vikram. Everyone looked. The beautiful, spotted shell had shiny eyes and brown legs that raced for the door. I ran over and picked it up. Then it disappeared inside. “I got you!” I peeked into the shell with joy. “You can live at my house.” “He already has a house,” teased Mom. “And a home,” said Dad, looking into my eyes. I remembered how my hermit crab had washed up from the ocean. That was its real home. That was where it wanted to be.
As Vikram and I walked to the beach, I stared down at the shell I so wanted to keep. Every step was painful. I put it down at the beach. Its legs reappeared and carried itself to the water’s edge. With the next wave, it was gone. “Goodbye,” I whispered, feeling good and awful at the same time. “It really was a cool shell,” Vikram said, “but don’t be sad. You can still show it to your friends.” Vikram held up his camera, winking. At this, a smile crept upon my face. “Thanks, brother.” Now it was time for us to go back home.

W: Hi, everybody. Do you know Bollywood? Today I’d like to tell you about it. Bollywood, which is the name of the film industry in Mumbai, India, makes almost 1,000 films a year. Since making its first film in 1913, Bollywood has made over 29,000 films. This is a much higher number than Hollywood in the USA and means it is the biggest film industry in the world. Most Indians like watching films better than other free-time activities like traveling or doing sports. Ten million of them go to the cinema every day. Bollywood films tell love stories, and singing and dancing are an important part of every film. Indian films are also enjoyed outside India. Indian actors make more films each year than American actors in Hollywood, but they are not paid as much. This is why most Bollywood films only cost about $2 million to make. Hollywood film is never made for under $5 million. Most Bollywood actors are young. They work hard but only for a few years. Amitabh Bachchan, who some people say is India’s greatest actor, is different. He has been working in the film industry for 40 years, and has been the star of more than 140 films. OK, that’s all for today. Thank you for your listening.
