Here, positive relationships unlock students’ potential. Scheduling is personalized, and no homework goes home.( Fusion Academy是一所私立初中和高中，每个教室只有一名学生和一名教师。在这里，积极的关系可以释放学生的潜力。日程安排是个性化的，没有家庭作业。)”可知，Fusion Academy是一所私立初中和高中，所有班级都是一对一的。日程安排是个性化的，回家没有家庭作业。由此可知，Fusion Academy Tysons学校擅长个性化教育。故选B项。 B In his 1939 essay Selfishness and Self-Lone, Erich Fromm, a world-famous psychologist declared that “modern culture teaches that to be selfish is evil and that to love others is virtuous.” In his essay, Fromm argues that such a teaching could make people feel guilty to show themselves healthy self-love, which he defines as the respect for one’s own happiness, growth, and freedom. Fromm argues that selfishness, an interest only in oneself, is actually the opposite of self-love, which means the ability to give with pleasure and also to respect the needs of others. To Fromm, love is an attitude whether it is directed outward or inward. In contrast, Fromm argued that selfishness is a kind of greediness “which exhausts the person in an endless effort to satisfy his own needs without ever reaching satisfaction”. Inspired by Fromm’s essay, Abraham Maslow wrote an essay in which he distinguished “healthy selfishness” from unhealthy selfishness. Maslow argued that “we must not assume that selfish or unselfish behavior is either good or bad. It may be true that at certain times, selfish behavior is good, but at other times, it is bad. It is also the case concerning unselfish behavior.” Maslow goes on to state that what appears to be unselfish behavior may come out of selfish motivations. Maslow stressed that it is sometimes necessary to teach people at certain times to engage in a “healthfully selfish manner”—to have a healthy respect for one’s self coming out of inner riches. A recent analysis of literature found that people who care about the welfare of others experience greater relationship well-being. However, such relationship well-being is maximized when people are not neglecting themselves in their care for others. Therefore, although the benefits of caring about others’ welfare have been well-documented, the role of healthy selfishness in contributing to relationship well-being may have been ignored. 4. To Fromm, modern culture teaches that people should . A. feel ashamed to be selfish B. be punished if they’re selfish C. be forbidden to talk about selfishness D. feel guilty if they don’t love themselves 5. How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed? A. By listing figures. B. By analyzing causes. C. By providing examples. D. By comparing definitions. 6. Which of the following statements may Maslow agree with? A. Selfish behavior is bad all the time. B. Unselfish behavior should be valued more. C. Rich people have a healthy respect for one’s self. D. Selfish motivations may lead to unselfish behavior. 7. What can we conclude from the last paragraph? A. Our welfare is only based on our care for others. B. People should care about themselves more than others. C. People who care about others don’t care about themselves. D. Healthy selfishness can contribute to our relationship well-being. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. D 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了健康的自私和不健康的自私。而最近一项对文献的分析发现：健康的自私有助于我们的关系健康。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“modern culture teaches that to be selfish is evil and that to love others is virtuous.(现代文化教导我们，自私是邪恶的，爱他人是美德。)”可知，弗洛姆认为，现代文化教导人们应该为自私感到羞耻。故选A。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Fromm argues that selfishness, an interest only in oneself, is actually the opposite of self-love, which means the ability to give with pleasure and also to respect the needs of others.(弗洛姆认为，自私，一种只对自己有兴趣的东西，实际上是自爱的对立面，自爱是指愉快地给予的能力，同时也尊重他人的需要。)”可推断，第二段的主要通过比较定义来表达观点。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Maslow goes on to state that what appears to be unselfish behavior may come out of selfish motivations.(马斯洛继续指出，看似无私的行为可能是出于自私的动机。)”可知，马斯洛认为自私的动机可能导致无私的行为。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Therefore, although the benefits of caring about others’ welfare have been well-documented, the role of healthy selfishness in contributing to relationship well-being may have been ignored.(因此，尽管关心他人福祉的好处已经被充分证明，但健康的自私在促进关系健康中的作用可能被忽视了。)”可推断，健康的自私有助于我们的关系健康。故选D。 C If you use social media to chase away loneliness, a new study suggests that you’re going against the grain. We may have heard a lot about the benefits of interacting with others online, but the findings of a study conducted by scientists from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine show a direct relationship between social media usage and feelings of isolation (孤独). In short, the more time you spend on social media, the lonelier you may feel. With increasing usage of a large number of apps that allow for endless virtual connectivity, loneliness seems like the last problem social media users would face, but according to Brain A. Primack, the leader of the study, it has the exact opposite effect. “Mental health problems and social isolation are widespread among young adults nowadays,” Primack said. “We are naturally social creatures, but modern life tends to separate us instead of bringing us together. While it may seem that social media provide opportunities to fill the social void (空白), I think this study suggests that it may not be the solution people were hoping for.” Primack and his team examined the social media habits of 1,787 U.S. adults aged between 19 and 32 via a questionnaire that asked about the usage frequency and the time they spent on the most popular social media platforms. Eventually, they determined that young adults who are constantly logging in social media are lonelier than those with less social media usage. Frequent exposure to unrealistic descriptions on social media instead of face-to-face social interactions may give people the impression that others are living more happily, and this may make users feel more isolated in comparison. 8. What does the underlined phrase “going against the grain” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Doing it all wrong. B. On the way to success. C. Taking a risk. D. Making a difference. 9. What can we learn from the study? A. You will feel happier if you spend more time online. B. Online interaction is not the solution to social isolation. C. Virtual connectivity is the best way to fill the social void. D. Popular social media platforms can bring people together. 10. How did Primack and his team conduct the study? A. By providing explanations. B. By collecting data online. C. By doing a survey. D. By describing their own experiences. 11. What does the text mainly tell us? A. New research on social media usage has been published. B. Face-to-face social interactions are on the way out. C. Social media do users more harm than good. D. Social media might make loneliness worse. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，文章讨论了社交媒体使用与孤独感之间的关系，特别是一项新研究如何揭示频繁使用社交媒体可能导致孤独感增加。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“We may have heard a lot about the benefits of interacting with others online, but the findings of a study conducted by scientists from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine show a direct relationship between social media usage and feelings of isolation (我们可能已经听说过很多关于在线与他人互动的好处，但是匹兹堡大学医学院的科学家们进行的一项研究显示，社交媒体使用与孤独感之间存在直接关系。)”可知，使用社交媒体来消除孤独，但研究表明这可能适得其反，所以说使用社交媒体来驱散孤独感是错的。故选A项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“In short, the more time you spend on social media, the lonelier you may feel. (简而言之，你在社交媒体上花费的时间越多，你可能会感到越孤独。)”可知，研究结果表明社交媒体使用与孤独感之间存在直接关系，即在社交媒体上花费的时间越多，人们可能会感到越孤独。这表明在线互动并不是解决社交隔离问题的方法。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Primack and his team examined the social media habits of 1,787 U. S. adults aged between 19 and 32 via a questionnaire that asked about the usage frequency and the time they spent on the most popular social media platforms. (Primack和他的团队通过问卷调查的方式，检查了1787名年龄在19到32岁之间的美国成年人的社交媒体习惯，问卷询问了他们使用最受欢迎的社交媒体平台的频率和时间。)”可知，Primack和他的团队通过问卷调查的方式来研究社交媒体习惯。故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一句“Frequent exposure to unrealistic descriptions on social media instead of face-to-face social interactions may give people the impression that others are living more happily, and this may make users feel more isolated in comparison. (频繁接触社交媒体上不切实际的描述，而不是面对面的社交互动，可能会让人们觉得其他人过得更快乐，这可能会使用户相比之下感到更加孤立。)”及全文可知，整篇文章主要讲述了社交媒体可能会加剧孤独感的研究结果。故选D项。 D Breakdancing is becoming an Olympic sport after the organizers of the 2024 Paris Olympics suggested its being included in 2024. The other three sports — surfing, skateboarding and sport climbing — have been all included in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. The organizers said the four sports had been chosen because they would reflect the city’s identity and help take the Olympics to the street. They said they wanted to deliver the Olympic Games that would keep up with the times, inspire new audiences and attract young people. Breakdancing is an example of a sport which can be played without the limitation of time and places in urban and other environments. Breakdancing was one of the sports at the Youth Olympic Games in Buenos Aires in 2018, and now its popularity has greatly increased. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has approved the French suggestion and it can be formally added to the 2024 Paris Olympic sports programme. Under new IOC rules first introduced to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, Olympic host cities can select sports and propose them for inclusion in the Olympic Games if they are popular in that country. It is fortunate for breakdancing to be included as an additional sport in the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, while karate isn’t so lucky, Antonio Espinós Ortueta, the president of the World Karate Federation said, “Karate has grown rapidly over the last few years. We believed that it had met all the requirements and that it had the perfect conditions to be added to the sports programme. However, we have learned today that we still haven’t had the chance to prove its value as an Olympic sport.” 12. What is mentioned about the 2020 Tokyo Olympics? A. It is much better organized. B. It has more sport events. C. It attracts more foreign audiences. D. It spreads the local culture worldwide. 13. What can we learn about breakdancing? A. It is the symbol of Paris. B. It attracts people of all ages. C. It can be played anytime and anywhere. D. It was performed at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. 14. What does the IOC do in selecting sports? A. It gives useful advice. B. It makes final decisions. C. It offers enough support. D. It gives detailed explanations. 15. What can we learn from Antonio Espinós Ortueta? A. He didn’t expect the final decision of the IOC. B. He was confident about the future of karate. C. It is too difficult for breakdancing to be included in Olympics. D. It is impossible for karate to be performed in Olympics. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍包括霹雳舞在内的四项体育赛事将进入奥运会。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The other three sports — surfing, skateboarding and sport climbing — have been all included in the 2020Tokyo Olympics.(其他三项运动——冲浪、滑板和运动攀岩——都已被列入2020年东京奥运会)”可知，在2020年东京奥运会上有更多的比赛赛事。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Breakdancing is an example of a sport which can be played without the limitation of time and places in urban and other environments.(霹雳舞是一种可以在城市和其他环境中不受时间和地点限制的运动)”可知，霹雳舞在任何时间任何地方都可以表演，故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has approved the French suggestion and it can be formally added to the 2024 Paris Olympic sports programme.(国际奥委会（IOC）已经批准了法国的建议，它可以正式加入2024年巴黎奥运会的体育项目)”可推断，IOC有最后的决定权，故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。 根据最后一段“We believed that it had met all the requirements and that it had the perfect conditions to be added to the sports programme. However, we have learned today that we still haven’t had the chance to prove its value as an Olympic sport.(我们相信它已经满足了所有的要求，它有完美的条件被添加到体育项目中。然而，我们今天了解到，我们仍然没有机会证明它作为奥运会项目的价值)”可推断，原来他们认为满足所有的要求，但是后来没有被选中，所以他没有预料到IOC最后的决定。故选A。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Fitness Magazine recently ran an article titled “Five Reasons to Thank Your Workout Partner.” One reason was: “You’ll actually show up if you know someone is waiting for you at the gym, ” while another read: “___16___” With a workout partner, you will increase your training effort as there is a subtle (微妙) competition. So, how do you find a workout partner? First of all, decide what you want from that person. ___17___ Or do you just want to be physically fit, able to move with strength and flexibility? Think about the exercises you would like to do with your workout partner. You might think about posting what you are looking for on social media, but it probably won’t result in a useful response. ___18___ If you plan on working out in a gym, that person must belong to the same gym. My partner posted her request on the notice board of a local park. Her notice included what kind of training she wanted to do, how many days a week and how many hours she wanted to spend on each session, and her age. It also listed her favorite sports and activities, and provided her phone number. ___19___ You and your partner will probably have different skills. ___20___ Over time, both of you will benefit—your partner will be able to lift more weights and you will become more physically fit. The core (核心) of your relationship is that you will always be there to help each other. A. Your first meeting may be a little awkward. B. A workout partner usually needs to live close by. C. You’ll work harder if you train with someone else. D. Do you want to be a better athlete in your favorite sport? E. How can you write a good “seeking training partner” notice? F. Just accept your differences and learn to work with each other. G. Any notice for a training partner should include such information. 【答案】16 C 17. D 18. B 19. G 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何找到一个一起锻炼的伙伴。 【16题详解】 根据前文“Fitness Magazine recently ran an article titled “Five Reasons to Thank Your Workout Partner.” One reason was: “You’ll actually show up if you know someone is waiting for you at the gym,”(《健身杂志》最近刊登了一篇题为《感谢健身伙伴的五个理由》的文章。一个理由是：“如果你知道有人在健身房等你，你就会去锻炼。”)”以及后文“With a workout partner, you will increase your training effort as there is a subtle (微妙) competition. (有一个锻炼伙伴，你将会努力训练，因为你们之间有一个微妙的竞争)”可知，空处陈述另一个和别人一起锻炼的理由，故选项应与后文是顺承关系，选项C中的“train with someone else”与后文的“With a workout partner”相对应，选项C“You’ll work harder if you train with someone else.(如果你和别人一起训练，你会更努力)”符合语意。故选C项。 【17题详解】 根据前文“First of all, decide what you want from that person. (首先，决定你想从那个人身上得到什么)”和后文“Or do you just want to be physically fit, able to move with strength and flexibility?(或者你只是想要身体健康，能够移动的力量和灵活性?)”可知，这里是一个问句，反问自己结伴锻炼的目的，故空处与后文是选择关系，你要知道你锻炼是为了什么。所以选项D“Do you want to be a better athlete in your favorite sport? (你想在你最喜欢的运动项目上成为更好的运动员吗?)”与后文在语意上构成选择关系。故选D项。 【18题详解】 根据前文“You might think about posting what you are looking for on social media, but it probably won't result in a useful response. (你可能会考虑在社交媒体上发布你想要东西，但可能不会得到有用的回应)”和后文“If you plan on working out in a gym, that person must belong to the same gym.(如果你打算在健身房锻炼，那个人一定是同一个健身房的)”可知，寻找的锻炼伙伴要具有便利性的特点。选项B中的“live close by”与后文的“belong to the same gym”相对应，选项B“A workout partner usually needs to live close by. (锻炼伙伴通常需要住在附近)”与下文是顺承关系。故选B项。 【19题详解】 根据前文“My partner posted her request on the notice board of a local park. Her notice included what kind of training she wanted to do, how many days a week and how many hours she wanted to spend on each session, and her age. It also listed her favorite sports and activities, and provided her phone number. (我的搭档把她的要求贴在了当地公园的布告栏上。她的注意事项包括她想要做什么样的锻炼，每周多少天，每次培训要花多少小时，以及她的年龄。它还列出了她最喜欢的运动和活动，并提供了她的电话号码)”可知，本段作者以自己的锻炼伙伴为例，说明寻找锻炼伙伴布告所要包括的信息。所以选项G“Any notice for a training partner should include such information. (任何锻炼伙伴的布告都应包括这些信息)”是对上文内容的总结，符合语意。故选G项。 【20题详解】 根据前文“You and your partner will probably have different skills. (你和你的伴侣可能有不同的技能)”和后文“Over time, both of you will benefit—your partner will be able to lift more weights and you will become more physically fit. The core (核心) of your relationship is that you will always be there to help each other. (久而久之，你们双方都会受益—你的伴侣会举起更多的重量，你也会变得更健康。你们关系的核心是你们永远在一起互相帮助)”可知，要学会求同存异，一起合作，共同提高。选项F中的“differences”对应前文的“different skills”，选项中的“work with each other”对应后文的“be there to help each other”，故选项F“Just accept your differences and learn to work with each other. (接受你们的不同，学会彼此合作)”起到承上启下的作用，符合语意。故选F项。 【点睛】 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。 It was in my high school science class.

One day in early December, she called, saying she was putting together some people to sing inspiring holiday songs to some unfortunate families and chat with them on New Year’s Day to cheer them up. Jane invited my husband and me to join them. Although I hadn’t sung in any choir (合唱团) for years, I always enjoyed singing. I was confident with proper songbooks, much rehearsal (排练) time, a good director, and a guitar, we would be great. I told Jane we’d be happy to join her choir. But as she described her plan, my enthusiasm reduced. Jane felt one rehearsal would be enough, and since nobody in the group played the guitar, our voices would be enough. She didn’t know what we’d be singing, but she’d come up with something. I had always admired her free spirit, but I doubted her plan, already regretting my quick decision and worrying. Then, what was worse, Jane called one afternoon, saying our rehearsal would have to be canceled because two members got sick, and provided a list of simple songs for us to practice singing at home. Noticing my concern, she told me what mattered was that we were there and that everything would be fine. At home, my husband and I busily decorated our house for our holiday and sometimes set aside some time for our song practice. Before long, the choir’s singing date arrived. That day, Jane, together with five of us, drove toward our first destination. We would be visiting an old couple who lived alone. The wife had been receiving cancer treatments. I had no idea whether our performance would help make their day. Soon, we walked through the snow and reached a small, simple house. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 An old man who looked worried opened the door. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the cheerful conversation, we began to sing. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: An old man who looked worried opened the door. He seemed a bit surprised to see a group of people at his doorstep on such a cold winter day. We introduced ourselves and explained the purpose of our visit. He hesitated for a moment but then welcomed us in with a warm smile, gesturing for us to come inside. In the living room, a woman who looked pale greeted us, the table before her littered with medicine. I couldn’t help but feel a sense of pity, unsure how to connect with the couple. To my relief, Jane cheerfully started the conversation, guiding it towards light-hearted and enjoyable topics. Finally, all talked, including the couple, whose faces gradually lit up. After the cheerful conversation, we began to sing. As we sang our simple songs, the wife’s eyes sparkled with tears of joy, and the husband’s uneasy expression softened into a gentle grin. We didn’t have a guitar to accompany us, and our voices weren’t perfect, but the sincerity in our songs filled the room with a sense of comfort. After our performance, the couple thanked us with tears in their eyes, expressing how our visit had made their day. It was then that my worries totally melted away and I realized they didn’t need a grand performance. The simple act of chatting, singing, and being present was enough to uplift their spirits. Joyfully, we said goodbye and drove to our next destination. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者的朋友简邀请作者和丈夫去慈善机构唱歌，虽然中间出现很多阻碍，但是作者和丈夫还是去完成了活动，让老人们的精神得到振奋。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“一位看起来忧心忡忡的老人开了门”可知，第一段可描写作者和丈夫前往访问老人，期间他们的相处过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“愉快的谈话之后，我们开始唱歌”可知，第二段可描写作者和丈夫完成演出，振奋了老人的精神。 2.续写线索：老人开门——老人惊讶——说明目的——简开始谈话——开始唱歌——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①指导：guide/instruct ②开始：start/begin ③意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 ①不安：uneasy/restless ②高兴地：joyfully/gladly 【点睛】[高分句型1] He hesitated for a moment but then welcomed us in with a warm smile, gesturing for us to come inside.

B In his 1939 essay Selfishness and Self-Lone, Erich Fromm, a world-famous psychologist declared that “modern culture teaches that to be selfish is evil and that to love others is virtuous.” In his essay, Fromm argues that such a teaching could make people feel guilty to show themselves healthy self-love, which he defines as the respect for one’s own happiness, growth, and freedom. Fromm argues that selfishness, an interest only in oneself, is actually the opposite of self-love, which means the ability to give with pleasure and also to respect the needs of others. To Fromm, love is an attitude whether it is directed outward or inward. In contrast, Fromm argued that selfishness is a kind of greediness “which exhausts the person in an endless effort to satisfy his own needs without ever reaching satisfaction”. Inspired by Fromm’s essay, Abraham Maslow wrote an essay in which he distinguished “healthy selfishness” from unhealthy selfishness. Maslow argued that “we must not assume that selfish or unselfish behavior is either good or bad. It may be true that at certain times, selfish behavior is good, but at other times, it is bad. It is also the case concerning unselfish behavior.” Maslow goes on to state that what appears to be unselfish behavior may come out of selfish motivations. Maslow stressed that it is sometimes necessary to teach people at certain times to engage in a “healthfully selfish manner”—to have a healthy respect for one’s self coming out of inner riches. A recent analysis of literature found that people who care about the welfare of others experience greater relationship well-being. However, such relationship well-being is maximized when people are not neglecting themselves in their care for others. Therefore, although the benefits of caring about others’ welfare have been well-documented, the role of healthy selfishness in contributing to relationship well-being may have been ignored. 4. To Fromm, modern culture teaches that people should . A. feel ashamed to be selfish B. be punished if they’re selfish C. be forbidden to talk about selfishness D. feel guilty if they don’t love themselves 5. How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed? A. By listing figures. B. By analyzing causes. C. By providing examples. D. By comparing definitions. 6. Which of the following statements may Maslow agree with? A. Selfish behavior is bad all the time. B. Unselfish behavior should be valued more. C. Rich people have a healthy respect for one’s self. D. Selfish motivations may lead to unselfish behavior. 7. What can we conclude from the last paragraph? A. Our welfare is only based on our care for others. B. People should care about themselves more than others. C. People who care about others don’t care about themselves. D. Healthy selfishness can contribute to our relationship well-being. C If you use social media to chase away loneliness, a new study suggests that you’re going against the grain. We may have heard a lot about the benefits of interacting with others online, but the findings of a study conducted by scientists from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine show a direct relationship between social media usage and feelings of isolation (孤独). In short, the more time you spend on social media, the lonelier you may feel. With increasing usage of a large number of apps that allow for endless virtual connectivity, loneliness seems like the last problem social media users would face, but according to Brain A. Primack, the leader of the study, it has the exact opposite effect. “Mental health problems and social isolation are widespread among young adults nowadays,” Primack said. “We are naturally social creatures, but modern life tends to separate us instead of bringing us together. While it may seem that social media provide opportunities to fill the social void (空白), I think this study suggests that it may not be the solution people were hoping for.” Primack and his team examined the social media habits of 1,787 U.S. adults aged between 19 and 32 via a questionnaire that asked about the usage frequency and the time they spent on the most popular social media platforms. Eventually, they determined that young adults who are constantly logging in social media are lonelier than those with less social media usage. Frequent exposure to unrealistic descriptions on social media instead of face-to-face social interactions may give people the impression that others are living more happily, and this may make users feel more isolated in comparison. 8. What does the underlined phrase “going against the grain” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Doing it all wrong. B. On the way to success. C. Taking a risk. D. Making a difference. 9. What can we learn from the study? A. You will feel happier if you spend more time online. B. Online interaction is not the solution to social isolation. C. Virtual connectivity is the best way to fill the social void. D. Popular social media platforms can bring people together. 10. How did Primack and his team conduct the study? A. By providing explanations. B. By collecting data online. C. By doing a survey. D. By describing their own experiences. 11. What does the text mainly tell us? A. New research on social media usage has been published. B. Face-to-face social interactions are on the way out. C. Social media do users more harm than good. D. Social media might make loneliness worse. D Breakdancing is becoming an Olympic sport after the organizers of the 2024 Paris Olympics suggested its being included in 2024. The other three sports — surfing, skateboarding and sport climbing — have been all included in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. The organizers said the four sports had been chosen because they would reflect the city’s identity and help take the Olympics to the street. They said they wanted to deliver the Olympic Games that would keep up with the times, inspire new audiences and attract young people. Breakdancing is an example of a sport which can be played without the limitation of time and places in urban and other environments. Breakdancing was one of the sports at the Youth Olympic Games in Buenos Aires in 2018, and now its popularity has greatly increased. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has approved the French suggestion and it can be formally added to the 2024 Paris Olympic sports programme. Under new IOC rules first introduced to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, Olympic host cities can select sports and propose them for inclusion in the Olympic Games if they are popular in that country. It is fortunate for breakdancing to be included as an additional sport in the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, while karate isn’t so lucky, Antonio Espinós Ortueta, the president of the World Karate Federation said, “Karate has grown rapidly over the last few years. We believed that it had met all the requirements and that it had the perfect conditions to be added to the sports programme. However, we have learned today that we still haven’t had the chance to prove its value as an Olympic sport.” 12. What is mentioned about the 2020 Tokyo Olympics? A. It is much better organized. B. It has more sport events. C. It attracts more foreign audiences. D. It spreads the local culture worldwide. 13. What can we learn about breakdancing? A. It is the symbol of Paris. B. It attracts people of all ages. C. It can be played anytime and anywhere. D. It was performed at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. 14. What does the IOC do in selecting sports? A. It gives useful advice. B. It makes final decisions. C. It offers enough support. D. It gives detailed explanations. 15. What can we learn from Antonio Espinós Ortueta? A. He didn’t expect the final decision of the IOC.

One day in early December, she called, saying she was putting together some people to sing inspiring holiday songs to some unfortunate families and chat with them on New Year’s Day to cheer them up. Jane invited my husband and me to join them. Although I hadn’t sung in any choir (合唱团) for years, I always enjoyed singing. I was confident with proper songbooks, much rehearsal (排练) time, a good director, and a guitar, we would be great. I told Jane we’d be happy to join her choir. But as she described her plan, my enthusiasm reduced. Jane felt one rehearsal would be enough, and since nobody in the group played the guitar, our voices would be enough. She didn’t know what we’d be singing, but she’d come up with something. I had always admired her free spirit, but I doubted her plan, already regretting my quick decision and worrying. Then, what was worse, Jane called one afternoon, saying our rehearsal would have to be canceled because two members got sick, and provided a list of simple songs for us to practice singing at home. Noticing my concern, she told me what mattered was that we were there and that everything would be fine. At home, my husband and I busily decorated our house for our holiday and sometimes set aside some time for our song practice. Before long, the choir’s singing date arrived. That day, Jane, together with five of us, drove toward our first destination. We would be visiting an old couple who lived alone. The wife had been receiving cancer treatments. I had no idea whether our performance would help make their day. Soon, we walked through the snow and reached a small, simple house. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 An old man who looked worried opened the door. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the cheerful conversation, we began to sing. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
