After each passage or conversation, you will be asked several questions. The passages and conversation will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one is the best answer to the question you have heard. Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage. 11．A．15．000 B．5,000,000 C．15,000,000 D．50,000,000 12．A．The Chinese people are really good at the world’s most popular sport—soccer.

By 2050 it wants to get 50 million children and adults to play the game. With the largest population in the world, China has never been really good at the world’s most popular sport. According to the government, 20,000 training centres are planned and 70,000 new soccer fields will be built within the next decades. It also wants to set up soccer schools and offer young players more training programs. FIFA hopes that the China’s desire to become a global player in soccer will raise the country’s rankings, currently at number 80 in the FIFA list. In contrast to men, who have only qualified for the World Cup once in 2002, Chinese women are more successful in the sport. They have even made it to the World Cup finals in 1999. China’s leader Xi Jinping is the driving force behind the new sport plan. He loves soccer and played the game during his youth. Xi wants China to play a major role in Asia and maybe even win the World Cup one day. Recently, Chinese billionaires have started to invest in China’s Super League, attracting top European players to the country. Guangzhou Evergrande, one of China’s top teams, has paid 45 million dollars for Athletico Madrid top star Jackson Martinez. But before China reaches its goal, there is still a long way in front and a lot to do. Questions: 11. According to the Chinese government’s plan, how many children and adults are to play soccer by 2050? 12. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? 13. Who of the following is the driving force of China’s great soccer plan according to this passage? Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage 14．A．It gives students more time to digest what they’ve learned. B．It is flexible in planning classes, social practice and personal projects. C．Plenty of social practice frees students of worries about their future career. D．Students have more time to enjoy their life in universities. 15．A．The length of each semester varies in the Chinese trimester. B．All those “Project 985” universities have applied this trimester system. C．Students should take as many courses as possible in summer semester. D．Taking other subjects should be off the list in summer semester. 16．A．Taking more courses in summer semester. B．Having an efficient arrangement in studying contents. C．Taking an active part in promoting academic environment. D．Paying no attention to changes in academic schedules. 【答案】14．B 15．A 16．B 【原文】 You may have already heard about the trimester system in Western universities. For example, in the UK, an academic year is usually divided into three semesters, each made up of 10 weeks --- the autumn semester (October to December), the spring semester (January to March) and the summer semester (April to June). This system is believed to bring more flexibility when scheduling classes, social practice and personal projects. Now China is introducing the system to its own students. In fact, nearly half of the country’s “Project 985” universities have already added the third semester into their academic timetable. But our trimester system is a little bit different from that in the West. Take China University of Political science and Law (CUPL) as an example, which has started to implement the new schedule from this month. Its academic year will now be divided into the autumn semester (September to January), the spring semester (February to June) and the summer semester (July).   Lu Chunlong, director of the dean’s office at CUPL, told The Beijing News that during summer terms students would be able to take classes in other subjects. They are also encouraged to join courses in the form of social practice. It’s hoped that this new method will expose students to a broader and more diverse academic environment and help them to get their career plans on track. However, some students point out that if they take summer term courses, they would have to attend classes every day without having time to digest what they’ve learned. This is why Lu suggests that students don’t overdo it during summer. “One course is the best, two tops,” she advises. But no matter the changes in academic schedules, it’s how you plan your studies that really matters. After all, what’s important is not how the academic year is divided, but how the studying contents are distributed among each semester. Questions: 14. What’s the advantage of the Western trimester system according to the passage? 15. Which of the following is true about the Chinese trimester? 16. What’s the best policy in taking courses in the new trimester system? Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation. 17．A．At home. B．In a studio. C．In office. D．At school. 18．A．An English programme. B．Something annoying. C．An expression. D．A goat, called Fred. 19．A．Neil’s goat is really a mad goat, a trouble maker. B．Neil really makes Feifei mad. C．Neil’s goat was really annoying to everyone. D．Neil’s goat annoys Feifei due to its smell. 20．A．Your best friend told you that he’s past the driving test. B．Some cars are blowing their horns when you are doing a test inside. C．You are riding a bicycle with your classmates in the street. D．Your neighbour brings you a cake because it is her daughter’s birthday. 【答案】17．B 18．C 19．D 20．B 【原文】M: Hello and welcome to The English We Speak, I’m Neil and joining me is Feifei… and Fred... my goat. W: Hi everyone. Neil, why have you brought this… goat into the studio? It smells. M: Fred doesn’t smell! I’ve brought my goat into the studio to teach our listeners an expression you can use when something annoys you. W: Well, having smelly animals in the studio annoys me. M: Well, in that case, Feifei, you can say, ‘Smelly animals in the studio get my goat.’ W: To get somebody’s goat — an expression you can use when something annoys you. M: That’s right. You can say something ‘gets your goat’ if it annoys you. You know what, Feifei? It gets my goat when people say my pet Fred is smelly. W: Ha! Here are some examples of people using the expression ‘get somebody’s goat’. The first one: These queues at the post office really get my goat. I’ve been waiting for half an hour! The second one: Argh, I don’t believe it — I’ve got a parking ticket! The policemen really get my goat! The third one: These calls from people selling insurance get my goat. They’ve rung seven times already this morning. M: To get somebody’s goat — an expression you can use when something annoys you. W: Notice that we often use ‘really’ with this expression. Train delays really get my goat. M: It seems to me quite a lot of things get your goat, Feifei. W: Not really, Neil, — apart from Fred. M: Are you saying my goat gets your goat? W: Yes! Your goat really gets my goat! Questions: 17. Where are the two speakers? 18. What are the two speakers talking about? 19. According to this conversation, what does “Your goat really gets my goat!” mean? 20. In which situation will you say “It really gets my goat!” II.

As well as a(n) 32 in the number of vegans (素食主义者) and plant-based diets due to health and moral grounds, environmental 33 are also driving uptake with supporters claiming that plant milk has a lower greenhouse gas footprint than dairy production-although the overall picture is highly complex and the figures are questioned by the dairy industry. An apparent increase in the level of lactose intolerance (乳糖不耐受) in developed countries is also helping to increase demand. The range of plant-based milks also allows for consumers to 34 their tastes and identities as cafés and restaurants open up after lockdown. As one industry analyst said earlier this year, “To choose your 35 type of plant-based milk in Starbucks seems to be a way of identifying yourself.” While dairy milk has long been seen as a drink or a meal 36 -for example, being used as the material to make food or with cereal (谷物)-here are increasing signs that plant-based drinks 37 those with a thicker, more yogurt-like texture (质地) or those sold in individual 38 -are being seen as a healthy snack.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. A Last weekend I visited Rome for the first time. I spent three busy days in the Italian capital, seeing lots of tourist attractions and walking down streets lit with Christmas decorations. Here are the things that I loved most about the city. Rome is one of the most ancient cities in the world and is full of wonderful relics from its distant past. These monuments include the Roman Forum and the vast Coliseum where gladiators used to fight each other until death and hunt exotic animals. The ruins of buildings and temples are fascinating: you can’t quite believe how old they are. I studied the masterpieces of the Renaissance period at university and was very excited to see them in real life. We walked around the museum in Vatican City and saw plenty of famous sculptures. The best part of the visit was, without a doubt, the Sistine Chapel ceiling, painted in the early 16th century by the great Michelangelo. It was so breathtaking that I couldn’t tear my eyes away from it. In Rome, there is a lot of food on offer for tourists but some of it isn’t very good quality. I made an effort to find authentic restaurants to taste the popular meals of the region, like pasta with tomato, onion and bacon. I also loved eating ice cream and hot chocolate under the Christmas lights. Rome has lots of luxury boutiques but also plenty of shops that were more in my price range! It was a perfect opportunity to go and buy presents for my family and friends. There was also a Christmas market, where I bought a sparkly decoration for the tree. I love seeing new places, especially capital cities. I have been very lucky this year because I also visited Amsterdam and New York in the summer. Hopefully I’ll get to travel even more in the future. I would love to see Prague, Budapest and explore other places outside of Europe. Where do you think I should go next? 56．The underlined word “gladiators” in the 2nd paragraph probably means “________”. A．athletes B．butchers C．invaders D．fighters 57．The author found the ruins of buildings and temples fascinating because ________. A．they represent Rome’s religion B．they are relics from Rome’s distant past C．they are modern and fashion D．they include exotic animals 58．What is mainly discussed in the 3rd paragraph? A．The history of Vatican City. B．The life story of Michelangelo. C．The art-related activities during the visit. D．The literature of the Renaissance period. 59．According to the passage, when visiting Rome you should be careful in choosing the ________. A．food B．attractions C．hotels D．luxury boutiques 【答案】56．D 57．B 58．C 59．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者第一次游览罗马的所见所闻。 56．词义猜测题。根据第二段划线词所在句“These monuments include the Roman Forum and the vast Coliseum where gladiators used to fight each other until death and hunt exotic animals.(这些遗迹包括古罗马广场和巨大的斗兽场，gladiators过去常常在那里战斗至死，猎杀外来动物)”可知，划线词在where引导的定语从句中作主语，由描述的行为“互相殴斗，猎杀动物”推断，应指斗兽场里的角斗士。故选D项。 57．推理判断题。根据第二段“The ruins of buildings and temples are fascinating: you can’t quite believe how old they are.(建筑物和神殿的废墟令人着迷：你简直不敢相信它们有多古老)”可知，作者主要是因为建筑物和神殿的废墟的历史悠久而觉得它们极具魅力。故选B项。 58．主旨大意题。根据第三段“I studied the masterpieces of the Renaissance period at university and was very excited to see them in real life. We walked around the museum in Vatican City and saw plenty of famous sculptures. The best part of the visit was, without a doubt, the Sistine Chapel ceiling, painted in the early 16th century by the great Michelangelo. It was so breathtaking that I couldn’t tear my eyes away from it.(我在大学学习过文艺复兴时期的杰作，在现实生活中看到它们让我非常兴奋。我们在梵蒂冈城的博物馆里漫步，看到了许多著名的雕塑作品。毫无疑问，这次参观最精彩的部分是西斯廷教堂的天花板，由伟大的米开朗基罗于16世纪初绘制。它太令人叹为观止了，我无法把目光从它身上移开)”可知，本段主要介绍作者在罗马进行的艺术之旅。故选C项。 59．推理判断题。根据第四段“In Rome, there is a lot of food on offer for tourists but some of it isn’t very good quality. I made an effort to find authentic restaurants to taste the popular meals of the region, like pasta with tomato, onion and bacon.(在罗马，有很多食品供游客选择，但其中一些质量不是很好。我努力寻找正宗的餐厅来品尝该地区的流行美食，比如番茄、洋葱和培根意大利面)”可知，作者想表达因为食品质量的良莠不齐，在罗马选择吃的东西时要慎重。故选A项。 B Volunteering is a good way for teenagers to make a difference and meet new people. Here are a few volunteer opportunities that you could encourage your teen to take up. Help a local food bank Food banks always welcome donations and new volunteers. They provide perfect volunteering opportunities for those who are interested in helping the homeless. Your teen would be involved in anything, from preparing meals to working behind the scenes to repack donated food items, serving food, and carrying boxes. Help at a soup kitchen A soup kitchen is one of the places where the hungry can get free or affordable meals (usually soup and bread). Most soup kitchens run mainly on donations and the generosity of people. As a soup kitchen volunteer, your child may be made to clean the tables and plates, help distribute food, cook food, and more. Volunteer for Meals on Wheels By volunteering for Meals on Wheels, your teen will deliver nutritious meals to the elderly or the disabled. It’s perfect for teens who have just received their driving license and love any reason to get behind the wheel! They can make a huge impact in a short amount of time. Similarly, your teen can also volunteer in their kitchen and prepare meals for delivery. With a simple gesture, your teen can bring millions of smiles to people’s lives. Work with Habitat for Humanity Habitat for Humanity’s mission is to build or improve a place that someone could call home. Besides helping the community, your teen will learn valuable skills such as repairing fundraising, painting, and building. You can sign them up for long-term projects or a one-time program. 60．What do a local food bank and a soup kitchen have in common? A．Their sources of food. B．Volunteers need to price the food. C．They provide food for volunteers. D．The locations are approachable. 61．Who would be the most suitable for Meals on Wheels? A．Lucy, who prefers cooking. B．Linda, who likes drawing. C．Jack, who is fond of driving. D．Peter, who is good at playing football 62．Which would you choose if you want to learn some skills? A．A local food bank. B．A soup kitchen. C．Meals on Wheels. D．Habitat for Humanity. 【答案】60．A 61．C 62．D 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章简要介绍了四项适合青少年参加的志愿者项目。 60．细节理解题。根据第一项活动“Food banks always welcome donations and new volunteers. They provide perfect volunteering opportunities for those who are interested in helping the homeless.(食品银行总是欢迎捐款和新的志愿者。他们为那些有兴趣帮助无家可归者的人提供了完美的志愿服务机会)”以及第二项活动“A soup kitchen is one of the places where the hungry can get free or affordable meals (usually soup and bread).Most soup kitchens run primarily on donations and the generosity of people.(施粥处是饥饿的人可以得到免费或负担得起的食物（通常是汤和面包）的地方之一。大多数施粥所主要靠捐款和人们的慷慨来运转)”可知，这两项活动的食物都是来自捐赠，即它们有相似的食物来源。故A项正确。 61．细节理解题。根据第三项活动的介绍“By volunteering for Meals on Wheels, your teen will deliver nutritious meals to the elderly or the disabled. It’s perfect for teens who have just received their driving license and love any reason to get behind the wheel!(通过“送餐上门”的志愿活动，你的孩子将为老人或残疾人提供有营养的饭菜。这对刚刚收到他们的驾驶执照和喜欢任何理由坐在方向盘后面的青少年是完美的！）”可知，Meals on Wheels这一项目主要是给老人和残疾人送餐，所以会开车是一个很大的优势。因此喜欢开车的Jack最适合Meals on Wheels。故C项正确。 62．细节理解题。根据第四项活动的介绍“Habitat for Humanity’s mission is to build or improve a place that someone could call home. Besides helping the community, your teen will learn valuable skills such as repairing, fundraising, painting, and building.(Habitat for Humanity的使命是建造或改善一个人们可以称之为家的地方。除了帮助社区，你的孩子还会学到有价值的技能，比如修理、筹款、绘画和建筑）”可知，在Habitat for Humanity这项活动中，青少年可以学到多种技能。故D项正确。 C To say that the child learns by imitation and that the way to teach is to set a good example oversimplifies. No child imitates every action he sees. Sometimes, the example the parent wants him to follow is ignored while he takes over contrary patterns from some other example. Therefore, we must turn to a more subtle theory than “Monkey see, monkey do”. Look at it from the child’s point of view. Here he is in a new situation, lacking a ready response. He is seeking a response which will gain certain ends. If he lacks a ready response for the situation, and cannot reason out what to do, he observes a model who seems able to get the right result. The child looks for an authority or expert who can show what to do. There is a second element at work in this situation. The child may be able to achieve his immediate goal only to find that his method brings criticism from people who observe him. When shouting across the house achieves his immediate end of delivering a message, he is told emphatically that such a screaming is unpleasant, that he should walk into the next room and say his say quietly. Thus, the desire to solve any objective situation is overlaid with the desire to solve it properly. One of the early things the child learns is that he gets more affection and approval when his parents like his response. Then other adults award some actions and criticize others. If one is to maintain the support of others and his own self-respect, he must adopt responses his social group approves. In finding trial responses, the learner does not choose models at random. He imitates the person who seems a good person to be like, rather than a person whose social status he wished to avoid. If the pupil wants to be good violinist, he will observe and try to copy the techniques of capable players. Admiration of one quality often leads us to admire a person as a whole, and he becomes an identifying figure. We use some people as models over a wide range of situations, imitating much that they do. We learn that they are dependable and rewarding models because imitating them leads to success. 63．According to the passage, to teach a child to learn something, parents should _________. A．follow the theory of imitation B．set a good example for the child to copy C．simplify each action shown to the child D．view from the child’s perspective 64．Which of the following situation will lead a child to seek for a model? A．The child is blamed by parents for his/her wrongdoing. B．The child is in trouble and cannot figure out an approach. C．The child encounters a professional who can get the right result. D．The child comes up with a solution to an issue. 65．It can be inferred that children usually imitate people _________. A．whose actions are consistent with theirs B．who enjoy a high social status C．whose talent and skill are extraordinary D．whom they want to be shaped into 66．What is the passage mainly about? A．The factors determining children’s imitation. B．The significance of learning by imitation. C．The way children choose models. D．The reason for parenting by imitation. 【答案】63．D 64．B 65．D 66．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章指出，孩子并非盲目模仿，而是有选择地学习。他们倾向于模仿能带来正确结果的权威或专家，考虑社会接受度，并选择模仿看起来不错的人物。 63．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Look at it from the child’s point of view. (从孩子的角度看问题)”可知，要教孩子学东西，父母应该站在孩子的角度看问题。故选D项。 64．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Here he is in a new situation, lacking a ready response. He is seeking a response which will gain certain ends. If he lacks a ready response for the situation, and cannot reason out what to do, he observes a model who seems able to get the right result. The child looks for an authority or expert who can show what to do. (现在他处在一个新的环境中，缺乏现成的回应。他正在寻求一种能达到某种目的的回应。如果他对这种情况缺乏现成的回应，无法推理出该怎么做，他会观察一个似乎能够得到正确结果的榜样。孩子们会寻找权威或专家来告诉他们该怎么做)”可知，当孩子遇到困难，想不出办法时，他就会寻找一个榜样。故选B项。 65．推理判断题。根据第四段中“In finding trial responses, the learner does not choose models at random. He imitates the person who seems a good person to be like, rather than a person whose social status he wished to avoid. (在寻找试验回应时，学习者并不是随机选择榜样的。他模仿那些看起来不错的人，而不是模仿那些他希望避免其社会地位的人)”可推知，孩子选择模仿他们想要被塑造成的人。故选D项。 66．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段中“Look at it from the child’s point of view. (从孩子的角度看问题)”、第三段中“There is a second element at work in this situation. (在这种情况下，还有第二个因素在起作用)”和第四段中“In finding trial responses, the learner does not choose models at random. (在寻找试验回应时，学习者并不是随机选择榜样的)”可知，文章指出传统的“模仿学习”观点过于简化，实际上孩子不会盲目模仿所有行为，为此向读者介绍了决定儿童模仿行为的因素，包括他们倾向于模仿能带来正确结果的权威或专家，考虑社会接受度，并选择模仿看起来不错的人物。故选A项。 Section C Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. A．It also often shows you that you know more of the material than you think. B．Try using some of these methods when you study for your next test, and see if you’ve improved. C．It’s not that you’re not smart - it’s just that you’re studying the wrong way. D．Identify what to compare and make sure it ties to the important content to be learned. E．Create compare-and-contrast tables for different concepts/theories. F．It’s also great to hear other people’s thoughts on the course material in case there’s anything you missed or misinterpreted. Do you ever find yourself studying really hard for a test but ultimately not doing so well? You spent hours reviewing your notes, only to receive a grade that doesn’t reflect your hard work. 67 Below are a couple of active studying methods that I found worked best for me. Method #1: Try explaining the concepts/theories that you’re studying to family members or friends. If you can explain it to them to a point where they can understand it, then that means you understand it. Method #2: 68 This helps our brain with classifying information. If you can fill up a table, that means you know enough about them. Understanding their similarities and differences will also be helpful for a test. Method #3: Study with friends. If you’re able to stay focused, studying with a group might be more fun and motivating than studying alone. 69 Pick potential test topics and hold discussions to gain insight into different ways of thinking about a problem. Method #4: This one shouldn’t be much of a surprise - flashcards. Flashcards are a great way to memorize important material! To make it more fun, write your flashcards using colorful pens and highlight important parts. 70 Studying can be boring, but finding ways to make it more fun can really help you do well on your tests. So don’t lose motivation - you’ve got this! 【答案】67．C 68．E 69．F 70．B 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些有效的学习方法。 67．根据上文“You spent hours reviewing your notes, only to receive a grade that doesn’t reflect your hard work.(你花了好几个小时复习笔记，结果得到的分数却不能反映你的努力程度。)”和下文“Below are a couple of active studying methods that I found worked best for me.(下面是我发现对我最有效的几个积极的学习方法。)”可知，上文提到学习效果不佳，下文提到要介绍一些学习方法，空处承上启下，指出学习效果不好是因为学习方法不对。C项：It’s not that you’re not smart - it’s just that you’re studying the wrong way. (不是你不聪明——只是你学习的方法不对。)符合语境。故选C。 68．空处为段落主题句。根据下文“This helps our brain with classifying information. If you can fill up a table, that means you know enough about them.(这有助于我们的大脑分类信息。如果你能填满一张表，那就意味着你对他们足够了解。)”可知，本段建议的方法是创建对比表。E项中的“compare-and-contrast tables”和下文中的“fill up a table”对应。E项：Create compare-and-contrast tables for different concepts/theories.(为不同的概念/理论创建比较对比表。)符合语境。故选E。 69．根据上文“Study with friends. If you’re able to stay focused, studying with a group might be more fun and motivating than studying alone.(和朋友一起学习。如果你能保持专注，和一群人一起学习可能比独自学习更有趣，更有动力。)”可知，上文提出的方法是和朋友一起学习，并解释了和朋友一起学习的好处，F项中的“also”表明进一步说明和朋友一起学习的好处，承接上文，F项：It’s also great to hear other people’s thoughts on the course material in case there’s anything you missed or misinterpreted.(听听别人对课程材料的看法也很好，以防你遗漏或误解了什么。)符合语境。故选F。 70．根据上文提到的四种学习方法和下文“Studying can be boring, but finding ways to make it more fun can really help you do well on your tests. So don’t lose motivation - you’ve got this!(学习可能很无聊，但是想办法让它变得更有趣真的能帮助你在考试中取得好成绩。所以不要失去动力——你有这个能力！)”可知，空处对上文提到的方法进行总结，B项中的“these methods”对应上文的四种方法。B项：Try using some of these methods when you study for your next test, and see if you’ve improved.(当你准备下一次考试时，试着使用其中的一些方法，看看你是否有了进步。)符合语境。故选B。 IV. Summary Writing （10分） 71.Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in NO MORE THAN 60 WORDS. Use your own words as far as possible. Functions of a Speech The art of public speaking began in ancient Greece over 2, 000 years ago. The spoken word can handle various vital functions: persuading or inspiring, informing, paying compliment, entertaining, or simply introducing someone or something or accepting something. Over the past years, the human voice has helped guide us over the ups and downs of what was certainly a stormy time. Persuasion is used in dealing with or reuniting different points of view. When the leaders met in Copenhagen in December 2009, persuasive words from activists encouraged them to commit themselves to firmer action. Inspirational speeches challenge the emotions. They focus on topics and matters that are close to people's hearts. During wars, generals used inspiring speeches to prepare the troops for battle. A speech that conveys knowledge and enhances understanding can inform us. The information must be clear, accurate, and expressed in a meaningful and interesting way. Informative speeches from World Health Organization officials helped people to keep their panic under control so they could take sensible protection. Sad events are never easy to deal with but a speech that pays tribute to the loss of a loved one and gives praise for their contribution can be comforting. Madonna's speech about Michael Jackson, after his death, highlighted the fact that he will continue to live on through his music. It's not only in world meetings where public speaking plays an important role. It can also be surprisingly helpful in the course of our own lives. On a more personal level, a friend may be upset and need comforting. Or you might be asked to introduce a speaker at a family event or to speak at a wedding, where your language will be needed to move people or make them laugh. Great speaking ability is not something we're born with. For a brilliant speech, there are rules that you can put to good use. To learn those rules you have to practice and learn from some outstanding speeches in the past. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】On no account can we ignore the power of the speech. First, speeches play a very important role in persuading or inspiring by encouraging firmer action and challenging the emotions. Second, not only do informative speeches convey knowledge but also enhance understanding. What’s more, a mourning speech can be comforting. On a personal level, it is highly recommended that you amuse others and cheer them up with a speech. 【文本解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章以“演讲的功能”为题，主要介绍了演讲的说服或激励功能，以及告知、赞美、娱乐，和简单地介绍某人或某事以及接受某事的功能。 【详解】1. 要点摘录 ①The spoken word can handle various vital functions: persuading or inspiring, informing, paying compliment, entertaining, or simply introducing someone or something or accepting something. ②Persuasive words from activists encouraged them to commit themselves to firmer action.

Translation （15分） Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets. 72．卷入事故的所有人都被惩罚了。(involve) 【答案】All the people involved in the accident have been punished. 【详解】考查动词和语态。分析所给中文提示词，“所有人”作主语译为“all the people”，“卷入事故”根据题干要求，需用involve，此处应用非谓语形式，和逻辑主语people是被动关系，用过去分词表被动，作后置定语，译为“involved in the accident”，“都被惩罚了”作谓语，根据句意，表完成的动作，用现在完成时，且用被动语态，译为“have been punished”。故译为：All the people involved in the accident have been punished. 73．尽管困难重重，他们还是克服了障碍并实现了梦想。(despite) 【答案】Despite the great difficulties, they overcame the obstacles and achieved their dreams. 【详解】考查句子结构和介词。表示“尽管困难重重”用介词despite加名词构成介词短语despite the great difficulties，作状语；本句描述过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时，谓语动词用过去式，表示“他们还是克服了障碍并实现了梦想”为they overcame the obstacles and achieved their dreams，是主谓宾句型，动词短语achieved their dreams和overcame the obstacles并列。句首字母大写，故翻译为Despite the great difficulties, they overcame the obstacles and achieved their dreams. 74．他的回答满满的都是炫耀，但根本没答到点子上，让所有的面试官面面相觑。(leave) 【答案】His answer was alive with showing off, but didn't get to any point at all, leaving all the interviewers looking at each other speechlessly. 【详解】考查短语、名词和动词。结合句意可知，此处使用一般过去时。表示“他的答案”应用His answer，位于句首大写；表示“满满的都是”用动词短语was alive with，作谓语动词，根据句意是叙述过去发生的事情，所以用一般过去时态，并与主语保持一致用单数；表示“炫耀”用showing off，作介词的宾语，所以用动名词；表示“但是”用并列连词but连接前后两个动作；表示“根本没”用短语not...at all并结合句子时态，所以应用didn't...at all；表示“答到点子上”用get to the point；表示“让某人……”用结构“leaving st/sth+宾语补足语”，因在句子中是非谓语动词作伴随状语，表主动，所以用现在分词；表示“所以的面试官”用all the interviewers；表示“面面相觑”用looking at each other speechlessly，作宾语补足语，与逻辑主语面试官之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词。故翻译为His answer was alive with showing off, but didn't get to any point at all, leaving all the interviewers looking at each other speechlessly。 75．一听说这款新上市的电动车打9折出售，消费者们纷纷涌入这家汽车销售店试驾。(flood) 【答案】As soon as they heard that the newly launched electric car was sold at a 10% discount, consumers flooded into the car dealership for a test drive. 【详解】考查状语从句和固定短语。“一……就……”翻译为as soon as 引导状语从句；“听说”翻译为heard，因从句表示的是过去发生的动作，谓语动词使用一般过去时；“新上市的”翻译为newly launched；“打9折出售”翻译为was sold at a 10% discount ；“涌入”使用flood into，因句子表示的是过去发生的动作，谓语动词使用一般过去时；“汽车销售店”为car dealership；“试驾”为for a test drive。故翻译为：As soon as they heard that the newly launched electric car was sold at a 10% discount, consumers flooded into the car dealership for a test drive。 VI.

It grew five per cent last year, with sales of plant-based dairy products 31 $2billion. There are many reasons for the popularity of plant-based milks. As well as a(n) 32 in the number of vegans (素食主义者) and plant-based diets due to health and moral grounds, environmental 33 are also driving uptake with supporters claiming that plant milk has a lower greenhouse gas footprint than dairy production-although the overall picture is highly complex and the figures are questioned by the dairy industry. An apparent increase in the level of lactose intolerance (乳糖不耐受) in developed countries is also helping to increase demand. The range of plant-based milks also allows for consumers to 34 their tastes and identities as cafés and restaurants open up after lockdown. As one industry analyst said earlier this year, “To choose your 35 type of plant-based milk in Starbucks seems to be a way of identifying yourself.” While dairy milk has long been seen as a drink or a meal 36 -for example, being used as the material to make food or with cereal (谷物)-here are increasing signs thatplant-based drinks 37 those with a thicker, more yogurt-like texture (质地) or those sold in individual 38 -are being seen as a healthy snack. Research by the Brisan Group suggests that up to a third of these products are viewed as a snack, and 61 per cent are viewed as “a treat.” Globally soy milk products 39 the most popular and they accounted for 29.5 per cent of income globally in 2019. Coconut-based drinks are one of the fastest 40 parts, predicted to increase 8.6 per cent between 2020 and 2027. Across all types of plant milk, plain flavours have the highest sales, accounting for 71.1 per cent of the total value. III.

Getting out of the bus, Jack found there was still 30 minutes before his 41 began, so he 42 to take a walk around the block to adjust (调整) himself to another busy working day.    While walking, he 43 a young couple talking to each other in a foreign language. “Excuse me! Could you help us please?” the woman called to him in strange English. “We are tourist, lost. Need ‘Dolphin’ hotel. You know where is?” She was courageous as she spoke a (an) 44 language.   “I’m sorry, I don’t know. I’m in a hurry,” Jack said, and moved off. He was so upset about his problems that he 45 without thinking. Having walked about 100 feet, he felt he was wrong and 46 back. Luckily, the couple were 47 there. He walked up to them. “I remembered where the ‘Dolphin’ hotel is. I’m sorry, I just got 48 : there are hundreds of hotels in New York. It’s not far from here. you may 49 there. Just go straight to that crossroad, then turn to the left, and you will see a white-blue building. That will be the 50 you’re looking for.” The couple thanked him, and Jack 51 lightly this time. But when he turned his back, he saw that the couple didn’t move, and the look on their faces was the 52 . “Maybe I was talking too 53 , and they couldn’t understand me well enough”, he thought. All of a sudden, he felt that he could do something more important than sit in his office all day long. He knew that he couldn’t leave these young people behind: they couldn’t 54 get to the hotel by themselves. He walked up to them once again. They looked at him in surprise. “I could 55 you to the hotel, if you still need my help,” Jack said.

I spent three busy days in the Italian capital, seeing lots of tourist attractions and walking down streets lit with Christmas decorations. Here are the things that I loved most about the city. Rome is one of the most ancient cities in the world and is full of wonderful relics from its distant past. These monuments include the Roman Forum and the vast Coliseum where gladiators used to fight each other until death and hunt exotic animals. The ruins of buildings and temples are fascinating: you can’t quite believe how old they are. I studied the masterpieces of the Renaissance period at university and was very excited to see them in real life. We walked around the museum in Vatican City and saw plenty of famous sculptures. The best part of the visit was, without a doubt, the Sistine Chapel ceiling, painted in the early 16th century by the great Michelangelo. It was so breathtaking that I couldn’t tear my eyes away from it. In Rome, there is a lot of food on offer for tourists but some of it isn’t very good quality. I made an effort to find authentic restaurants to taste the popular meals of the region, like pasta with tomato, onion and bacon. I also loved eating ice cream and hot chocolate under the Christmas lights. Rome has lots of luxury boutiques but also plenty of shops that were more in my price range! It was a perfect opportunity to go and buy presents for my family and friends. There was also a Christmas market, where I bought a sparkly decoration for the tree. I love seeing new places, especially capital cities. I have been very lucky this year because I also visited Amsterdam and New York in the summer.

They provide perfect volunteering opportunities for those who are interested in helping the homeless. Your teen would be involved in anything, from preparing meals to working behind the scenes to repack donated food items, serving food, and carrying boxes. Help at a soup kitchen A soup kitchen is one of the places where the hungry can get free or affordable meals (usually soup and bread). Most soup kitchens run mainly on donations and the generosity of people. As a soup kitchen volunteer, your child may be made to clean the tables and plates, help distribute food, cook food, and more. Volunteer for Meals on Wheels By volunteering for Meals on Wheels, your teen will deliver nutritious meals to the elderly or the disabled. It’s perfect for teens who have just received their driving license and love any reason to get behind the wheel! They can make a huge impact in a short amount of time. Similarly, your teen can also volunteer in their kitchen and prepare meals for delivery. With a simple gesture, your teen can bring millions of smiles to people’s lives. Work with Habitat for Humanity Habitat for Humanity’s mission is to build or improve a place that someone could call home.

Sometimes, the example the parent wants him to follow is ignored while he takes over contrary patterns from some other example. Therefore, we must turn to a more subtle theory than “Monkey see, monkey do”. Look at it from the child’s point of view. Here he is in a new situation, lacking a ready response. He is seeking a response which will gain certain ends. If he lacks a ready response for the situation, and cannot reason out what to do, he observes a model who seems able to get the right result. The child looks for an authority or expert who can show what to do. There is a second element at work in this situation. The child may be able to achieve his immediate goal only to find that his method brings criticism from people who observe him. When shouting across the house achieves his immediate end of delivering a message, he is told emphatically that such a screaming is unpleasant, that he should walk into the next room and say his say quietly. Thus, the desire to solve any objective situation is overlaid with the desire to solve it properly. One of the early things the child learns is that he gets more affection and approval when his parents like his response. Then other adults award some actions and criticize others. If one is to maintain the support of others and his own self-respect, he must adopt responses his social group approves. In finding trial responses, the learner does not choose models at random. He imitates the person who seems a good person to be like, rather than a person whose social status he wished to avoid. If the pupil wants to be good violinist, he will observe and try to copy the techniques of capable players. Admiration of one quality often leads us to admire a person as a whole, and he becomes an identifying figure. We use some people as models over a wide range of situations, imitating much that they do. We learn that they are dependable and rewarding models because imitating them leads to success. 63．According to the passage, to teach a child to learn something, parents should _________. A．follow the theory of imitation B．set a good example for the child to copy C．simplify each action shown to the child D．view from the child’s perspective 64．Which of the following situation will lead a child to seek for a model? A．The child is blamed by parents for his/her wrongdoing. B．The child is in trouble and cannot figure out an approach. C．The child encounters a professional who can get the right result. D．The child comes up with a solution to an issue. 65．It can be inferred that children usually imitate people _________. A．whose actions are consistent with theirs B．who enjoy a high social status C．whose talent and skill are extraordinary D．whom they want to be shaped into 66．What is the passage mainly about? A．The factors determining children’s imitation. B．The significance of learning by imitation. C．The way children choose models. D．The reason for parenting by imitation. Section C Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A．It also often shows you that you know more of the material than you think. B．Try using some of these methods when you study for your next test, and see if you’ve improved. C．It’s not that you’re not smart - it’s just that you’re studying the wrong way. D．Identify what to compare and make sure it ties to the important content to be learned. E．Create compare-and-contrast tables for different concepts/theories. F．It’s also great to hear other people’s thoughts on the course material in case there’s anything you missed or misinterpreted. Do you ever find yourself studying really hard for a test but ultimately not doing so well? You spent hours reviewing your notes, only to receive a grade that doesn’t reflect your hard work. 67 Below are a couple of active studying methods that I found worked best for me. Method #1: Try explaining the concepts/theories that you’re studying to family members or friends. If you can explain it to them to a point where they can understand it, then that means you understand it. Method #2: 68 This helps our brain with classifying information. If you can fill up a table, that means you know enough about them. Understanding their similarities and differences will also be helpful for a test. Method #3: Study with friends. If you’re able to stay focused, studying with a group might be more fun and motivating than studying alone. 69 Pick potential test topics and hold discussions to gain insight into different ways of thinking about a problem. Method #4: This one shouldn’t be much of a surprise - flashcards. Flashcards are a great way to memorize important material! To make it more fun, write your flashcards using colorful pens and highlight important parts. 70 Studying can be boring, but finding ways to make it more fun can really help you do well on your tests. So don’t lose motivation - you’ve got this! IV. Summary Writing （10分） Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in NO MORE THAN 60 WORDS. Use your own words as far as possible. Functions of a Speech The art of public speaking began in ancient Greece over 2, 000 years ago. The spoken word can handle various vital functions: persuading or inspiring, informing, paying compliment, entertaining, or simply introducing someone or something or accepting something. Over the past years, the human voice has helped guide us over the ups and downs of what was certainly a stormy time. Persuasion is used in dealing with or reuniting different points of view. When the leaders met in Copenhagen in December 2009, persuasive words from activists encouraged them to commit themselves to firmer action. Inspirational speeches challenge the emotions. They focus on topics and matters that are close to people's hearts. During wars, generals used inspiring speeches to prepare the troops for battle. A speech that conveys knowledge and enhances understanding can inform us. The information must be clear, accurate, and expressed in a meaningful and interesting way. Informative speeches from World Health Organization officials helped people to keep their panic under control so they could take sensible protection. Sad events are never easy to deal with but a speech that pays tribute to the loss of a loved one and gives praise for their contribution can be comforting. Madonna's speech about Michael Jackson, after his death, highlighted the fact that he will continue to live on through his music. It's not only in world meetings where public speaking plays an important role. It can also be surprisingly helpful in the course of our own lives. On a more personal level, a friend may be upset and need comforting. Or you might be asked to introduce a speaker at a family event or to speak at a wedding, where your language will be needed to move people or make them laugh. Great speaking ability is not something we're born with. For a brilliant speech, there are rules that you can put to good use. To learn those rules you have to practice and learn from some outstanding speeches in the past. 71.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ V.

It grew five per cent last year, with sales of plant-based dairy products 31 $2billion. There are many reasons for the popularity of plant-based milks. As well as a(n) 32 in the number of vegans (素食主义者) and plant-based diets due to health and moral grounds, environmental 33 are also driving uptake with supporters claiming that plant milk has a lower greenhouse gas footprint than dairy production-although the overall picture is highly complex and the figures are questioned by the dairy industry. An apparent increase in the level of lactose intolerance (乳糖不耐受) in developed countries is also helping to increase demand. The range of plant-based milks also allows for consumers to 34 their tastes and identities as cafés and restaurants open up after lockdown. As one industry analyst said earlier this year, “To choose your 35 type of plant-based milk in Starbucks seems to be a way of identifying yourself.” While dairy milk has long been seen as a drink or a meal 36 -for example, being used as the material to make food or with cereal (谷物)-here are increasing signs thatplant-based drinks 37 those with a thicker, more yogurt-like texture (质地) or those sold in individual 38 -are being seen as a healthy snack. Research by the Brisan Group suggests that up to a third of these products are viewed as a snack, and 61 per cent are viewed as “a treat.” Globally soy milk products 39 the most popular and they accounted for 29.5 per cent of income globally in 2019. Coconut-based drinks are one of the fastest 40 parts, predicted to increase 8.6 per cent between 2020 and 2027. Across all types of plant milk, plain flavours have the highest sales, accounting for 71.1 per cent of the total value. III.

I spent three busy days in the Italian capital, seeing lots of tourist attractions and walking down streets lit with Christmas decorations. Here are the things that I loved most about the city. Rome is one of the most ancient cities in the world and is full of wonderful relics from its distant past. These monuments include the Roman Forum and the vast Coliseum where gladiators used to fight each other until death and hunt exotic animals. The ruins of buildings and temples are fascinating: you can’t quite believe how old they are. I studied the masterpieces of the Renaissance period at university and was very excited to see them in real life. We walked around the museum in Vatican City and saw plenty of famous sculptures. The best part of the visit was, without a doubt, the Sistine Chapel ceiling, painted in the early 16th century by the great Michelangelo. It was so breathtaking that I couldn’t tear my eyes away from it. In Rome, there is a lot of food on offer for tourists but some of it isn’t very good quality. I made an effort to find authentic restaurants to taste the popular meals of the region, like pasta with tomato, onion and bacon. I also loved eating ice cream and hot chocolate under the Christmas lights. Rome has lots of luxury boutiques but also plenty of shops that were more in my price range! It was a perfect opportunity to go and buy presents for my family and friends. There was also a Christmas market, where I bought a sparkly decoration for the tree. I love seeing new places, especially capital cities. I have been very lucky this year because I also visited Amsterdam and New York in the summer. Hopefully I’ll get to travel even more in the future. I would love to see Prague, Budapest and explore other places outside of Europe. Where do you think I should go next? 56．The underlined word “gladiators” in the 2nd paragraph probably means “________”.

The spoken word can handle various vital functions: persuading or inspiring, informing, paying compliment, entertaining, or simply introducing someone or something or accepting something. Over the past years, the human voice has helped guide us over the ups and downs of what was certainly a stormy time. Persuasion is used in dealing with or reuniting different points of view. When the leaders met in Copenhagen in December 2009, persuasive words from activists encouraged them to commit themselves to firmer action. Inspirational speeches challenge the emotions. They focus on topics and matters that are close to people's hearts. During wars, generals used inspiring speeches to prepare the troops for battle. A speech that conveys knowledge and enhances understanding can inform us. The information must be clear, accurate, and expressed in a meaningful and interesting way. Informative speeches from World Health Organization officials helped people to keep their panic under control so they could take sensible protection. Sad events are never easy to deal with but a speech that pays tribute to the loss of a loved one and gives praise for their contribution can be comforting. Madonna's speech about Michael Jackson, after his death, highlighted the fact that he will continue to live on through his music. It's not only in world meetings where public speaking plays an important role. It can also be surprisingly helpful in the course of our own lives. On a more personal level, a friend may be upset and need comforting. Or you might be asked to introduce a speaker at a family event or to speak at a wedding, where your language will be needed to move people or make them laugh. Great speaking ability is not something we're born with. For a brilliant speech, there are rules that you can put to good use. To learn those rules you have to practice and learn from some outstanding speeches in the past. 71._____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ V.
