The video was shared by Li Qiushuang, a college student. Li covered over 1600 kilometers to deliver a warm and unexpected surprise. Li’ s parents had migrated to Fujian for work over 20 years ago. Normally, they would return to Chongqing together just before the Spring Festival. However, due to Li’s grandmother falling ill this year, her father returned home early to look after the elderly, leaving her mother to work alone at a shoe factory in Jinjiang. In a recent video call, Li’s mother informed her daughter that she wouldn’t be able to come home for the New Year this time. One reason was her desire to earn more money, and the other was the inconvenience caused by her limited education level for traveling back home. Concerned about her mother spending the New Year alone in a distant place, Li immediately booked a flight and decided to pick up her mother. The reason why Li didn’t simply buy a ticket for her mother and let her travel on her own was that her mother was not accustomed to traveling alone. Having spent the last two decades mostly within the village where she worked, Li’s mother wasn’t familiar with public transportation. On the evening of Jan 20, Li arrived and went directly to her mother’s residence. When her mother saw her daughter suddenly appear, she first looked surprised, and then tears of happiness flowed down her face. This touching video has resonated (引起共鸣) with many netizens. Netizens even initiate a voluntary agreement which pledges to assist each others’ parents facing difficulties while away from home, emphasizing the importance of mutual support in times of need. 4. What do we know about Li’s parents? A. They had left their hometown for Fujian for 20 years. B. Li’s father asked his wife to go on working till the Spring Festival. C. They usually got back to Chongqing for the Spring Festival reunion. D. The workplace of Li’s mother was 1600 kilometers from Chongqing. 5. Why did Li insist that her mother should return home? A. Because her mother’s staying alone in Fujian worried her. B. Because her mother didn’t earn enough to buy a plane ticket. C. Because her mother didn’t know how to return home on her own. D. Because her mother was afraid to travel without others by her side. 6. What does the underlined word“pledges” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Promises. B. Suggests. C. Continues. D. Urges. 7. Which words can best describe Li? A. Caring and ambitious. B. Successful and flexible. C. Optimistic and kind. D. Considerate and decisive. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了李为了不让远在他乡过年的母亲感到孤独，不远万里独自去福建，将母亲接回来，这让母亲感动得潸然泪下，李用视频记录下了这一段重逢，上传到网上，引起了很多网民的共鸣，网民发起了自愿协议，承诺要相互帮助远在他乡的网友的父母解决困难。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Normally, they would return to Chongqing together just before the Spring Festival.(通常，他们会一起在春节前回到重庆。)”可知，李的父母通常在春节前回到重庆老家过年、团聚。故选C。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Concerned about her mother spending the New Year alone in a distant place, Li immediately booked a flight and decided to pick up her mother.(担心母亲独自一个在外地过春节，李立刻就订了一张机票，决定接她母亲回家。)”可推知，李坚持让母亲回家过年因为她担心母亲独自在异地过春节。故选A。 【6题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线词pledges前文的内容“Netizens even initiate a voluntary agreement(网民甚至自愿达成了协议)”可知，划线词前文提到，网友达成了协议，并根据划线词pledges后文的内容“assist each others’ parents facing difficulties while away from home(当远在他乡时，要帮助处于困境中的对方的父母。)”可知，划线词后文提到，要帮助对方的父母，故此处划线词pledges与A项“Promises(承诺)”意思相近，网友达成了协议，协议承诺当远在他乡时，要帮助对方的父母。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Li covered over 1600 kilometers to deliver a warm and unexpected surprise.(李走了1600多公里，带来了一个意想不到的温暖的惊喜。)”可知，作者是一个果断的人，决定了就立马行动；再根据第二段“Concerned about her mother spending the New Year alone in a distant place, Li immediately booked a flight and decided to pick up her mother.(担心母亲独自一个在外地过春节，李立刻就订了一张机票，决定接她母亲回家。)”可推，李是一个体贴的人，担心母亲独自在外地过年，因此决定接母亲回家过年。故选D。 C Many Americans joke about how bad they are at math. But, labor experts and others in the United States are not laughing. Jim Stigler is a professor at the University of California, Los Angeles. He studies the process of teaching and learning subjects, including math(STEM). He said, “The advances in technology that are going to drive where the world goes in the next 50 years are going to come from other countries, because they have the intellectual capital and we don’ t.” Government labor experts say the number of jobs in areas requiring math skill will increase by more than 30,000 each year through the end of 2030. That is much faster than most other kinds of jobs. But most American students are not prepared for those jobs. In the most recent Program for International Student Assessment tests in math (PISA), U. S. students tested lower than students from 36 other education systems around the world. Students in China tested the highest. However, students from other countries are preparing to lead in these areas, reports the National Foundation for American Policy, a non-profit organization. It says only one in five graduate students in math-heavy fields at U. S. universities are American. The rest come from other countries. Most will leave the U. S. when they finish their programs. In Massachusetts, employers are expecting a shortage over the next five years of 11,000 workers in the life sciences alone. “This is not an educational question alone,” said Josh Wyner,a vice president of the Aspen Institute. Not everyone is convinced that a lack of math skills is holding America back. “What employers really want is being able to learn the systems and solve problems,” said Todd Thibodeaux, president and CEO of CompTIA, an information technology trade association. “Other countries,” he said, “are dying for the way our kids learn creativity.” 8. What does Jim Stigler want to convey in paragraph 2? A. Intellectual capital decides a nation’s future. B. The U. S. will fall behind other states in 50 years. C. Technological talents aren’t fairly treated in the U. S. D. Technological progress will be more obviously seen in other countries. 9. How does Americans’ poor math skill affect themselves? A. Make it harder for them to land a job in 2030. B. Make them ashamed of performing badly in tests. C. Decrease their competitiveness in jobs related to maths. D. Push them to leave the U. S. after finishing their studies. 10. Why did Todd regard the lack of math skills as an unimportant issue? A. American kids have a gift of creative vision. B. Employers emphasize workers’ creativity. C. Math skills can be trained well in the workplace. D. Other countries’ kids are poor in solving problems. 11. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Americans Don’t Realize the Status of Math. B. Americans Didn’t Value Math in Childhoods. C. Americans Are Losing the Intellectual Capital. D. Americans’ Poor Math Skills Raise Concerns. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文说明了美国人在数学方面的表现不佳，以及这对美国未来科技发展和就业竞争力的影响。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Jim Stigler is a professor at the University of California, Los Angeles. He studies the process of teaching and learning subjects, including math(STEM). He said, “The advances in technology that are going to drive where the world goes in the next 50 years are going to come from other countries, because they have the intellectual capital and we don’t.”(吉姆·斯蒂格勒是洛杉矶加州大学的教授。他研究教学和学习科目的过程，包括数学（STEM）。他说：“在未来50年里，推动世界发展的技术进步将来自其他国家，因为他们拥有智力资本，而我们没有。”)”可知，吉姆·斯蒂格勒在第二段想表达的是技术进步将在其他国家更为明显。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Government labor experts say the number of jobs in areas requiring math skill will increase by more than 30,000 each year through the end of 2030. That is much faster than most other kinds of jobs.(政府劳工专家表示，到2030年底，需要数学技能的领域的工作岗位每年将增加3万多个。这比大多数其他类型的工作要快得多)”以及第四段“But most American students are not prepared for those jobs.(但大多数美国学生并没有为这些工作做好准备)”可知，美国人糟糕的数学技能降低他们在与数学相关的工作中的竞争力。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段““What employers really want is being able to learn the systems and solve problems,” said Todd Thibodeaux, president and CEO of CompTIA, an information technology trade association. “Other countries,” he said, “are dying for the way our kids learn creativity.”(信息技术行业协会CompTIA的总裁兼首席执行官Todd Thibodeaux说：“雇主真正想要的是能够学习系统并解决问题。”他说，“其他国家非常渴望我们的孩子学习创造力的方式。”)”可知，托德认为缺乏数学技能是一个不重要的问题因为雇主强调员工的创造力。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Many Americans joke about how bad they are at math. But, labor experts and others in the United States are not laughing.(许多美国人开玩笑说他们的数学有多差。但是，美国的劳工专家和其他人并没有笑)”结合本文说明了美国人在数学方面的表现不佳，以及这对美国未来科技发展和就业竞争力的影响。可知，D选项“美国人糟糕的数学技能令人担忧”最符合文章标题。故选D。 D The number of snowshoe hares (雪靴兔) in the Canadian Yukon soars to the highest point every few years. With a surge in hare populations, their predators lynx and coyotes also increase in number. Then hare populations fall and their predators start to die off. The cycle which has been studied since the 1920s is famous among ecologists. In recent years, though, researchers have found hare numbers fall not just because predators eat them. Long-lasting stress from living surrounded by killers causes mother hares to eat less food and bear fewer babies. The trauma (创伤) of living through such threats causes lasting changes in brain chemistry, keeping the hares from reproducing at normal levels. It’s not just snowshoe hares. Behavioural ecologists Liana Zanette and Michael Clinchy have found that fear of predators can cause other wild mammals and songbirds to bear and raise fewer young. The offspring of frightened voles and song sparrows are less likely to succeed in reproducing. These findings add to a growing body of evidence showing that fearful experiences can have long-lasting effects on wildlife and suggesting that post-traumatic stress disorder(PTSD) is not only unique to humans, but shared among other creatures. Rudy Boonstra, a population ecologist at the University of Toronto, sees the response of snowshoe hares as an adaptation that allows the animals to make the best of a bad situation. Animals stressed by many predators spend more time hiding and less time feeding, so they produce fewer young — but that may allow more adult hares to survive to rebuild the population when the cycle starts again. Despite the evidence that varieties of animals experience the long-term impacts of extreme stress, some psychologists still hold their human-centered view of PTSD. “It is defined in terms of human responses,” says neurobiologist David Diamond. “There is no biological measure — you can’ t get a blood test that says someone has PTSD. This is a psychological disease, and that’s why I call it a human disorder. Because a rat can’t tell you how it feels.” 12. What can be learned from the hare population? A. Their populations have been falling all the time. B. Their numbers decline partly because of stress. C. Their safety is threatened by wild mammals and songbirds. D. Their predators lynx and coyotes are on the edge of dying out. 13. What can we conclude from Paragraph 3? A. PTSD exists among wild animals. B. It is hard for animals to remember trauma. C. Birds attract fewer predators than land animals do. D. Snowshoe hares suffer more than other mammals. 14. What’s Diamond’s attitude towards animals’PTSD? A. Favorable. B. Ambiguous. C. Suspicious. D. Unconcerned. 15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To give a bricf introduction to PTSD. B. To talk about how to get over trauma. C. To call for the protection of snowshoe hares. D. To discuss how fear might hurt animals. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要谈论了恐惧是如何给动物带来伤害的，即：由于天敌的追杀，它们长期生活在压力之下并由此导致雌性生育率下降，进而使种群数量减少。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Long-lasting stress from living surrounded by killers causes mother hares to eat less food and bear fewer babies.(生活在杀手周围的长期压力导致雪靴母兔吃得更少，生的孩子更少)”可知，雪靴兔数量下降的部分原因是压力。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“These findings add to a growing body of evidence showing that fearful experiences can have long-lasting effects on wildlife and suggesting that post-traumatic stress disorder(PTSD) is not only unique to humans, but shared among other creatures.(这些发现增加了越来越多的证据，表明恐惧经历会对野生动物产生长期影响，并表明创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）不仅是人类独有的，而且在其他生物中也存在)”可知，创伤后应激障碍在野生动物中也存在。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Despite the evidence that varieties of animals experience the long-term impacts of extreme stress, some psychologists still hold their human-centered view of PTSD. “It is defined in terms of human responses,” says neurobiologist David Diamond.(尽管有证据表明，各种各样的动物都会经历极端压力的长期影响，但一些心理学家仍然坚持以人为中心的PTSD观点。“这是根据人类的反应来定义的，”神经生物学家大卫·戴蒙德说)”可知，Diamond认为创伤后应激障碍是人类特有的问题，而动物并不会出现这样的问题。所以，他对创伤后应激障碍在动物中也存在的说法持怀疑的态度。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第三段“These findings add to a growing body of evidence showing that fearful experiences can have long-lasting effects on wildlife and suggesting that post-traumatic stress disorder(PTSD) is not only unique to humans, but shared among other creatures.(这些发现增加了越来越多的证据，表明恐惧经历会对野生动物产生长期影响，并表明创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）不仅是人类独有的，而且在其他生物中也存在)”可知，作者通过本文主要谈论了恐惧是如何给动物带来伤害的，即：由于天敌的追杀，它们长期生活在压力之下并由此导致雌性生育率下降，进而使种群数量减少。故选D。 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。 After my family got comfortably settled in Hotel Ramada in Bangkok, we started exploring the city. After endless hours of shopping, it was finally time to go back. This was when the trouble started. We forgot there are two Ramada hotels in the opposite directions. Absolutely unaware of this, we started searching for the way back. Google maps suggested us the shortest route, which was just 20 minutes away by walk. ___16___ Bangkok felt different after sunset. Walking along the heavily-crowded roads with the dark-red sky felt beautiful. Lost in our talk, we didn’t realize that we passed onto the quieter part of the town. ___17___ It was closed for redecoration. Unluckily, nobody around us then spoke English. Worse still, we stepped in a local tuktuk (三轮车), which took us to an unknown area for an enormous pay. We had no clue where we were, our mobile phones nearly out of power. ___18___ He was a taxi driver. Recounting the day’s events proved to be a great conversation starter. We ended up talking through the way. He was so kind as to offer to drive us around for the rest of our stay. ___19___ For the next four days, from floating markets to the temples of Wat Pho, our trip wouldn’t have been so trouble-free without him. Sometimes when things don’t go according to plan, I think about the stranger we met on the streets and how a tiny mistake on our part led to unexpected results. ___20___ A. That was when our hero arrived. B. Our thankfulness was beyond description. C. We reached a completely different Hotel Ramada. D. We set off into the city with little research on transport. E. We decided not to waste our money but our time instead. F. He then reminded us that our hotel was just a few blocks away. G. The trip rings as a reminder that every cloud has a silver lining. 【答案】16. E 17. C 18. A 19. B 20. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者一家在曼谷旅游时遇到一位好心司机的故事。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Google maps suggested us the shortest route, which was just 20 minutes away by walk. (谷歌地图为我们推荐了最短的路线，步行只需20分钟)”提到谷歌地图提供了最短的路线，步行只需20分钟，结合下一段中“Walking along the heavily-crowded roads with the dark-red sky felt beautiful. (在拥挤的道路上漫步，深红色的天空让人感觉很美)”可知，作者一家选择了按推荐的路线步行，E项“我们决定不浪费钱，而是花费时间”符合语境。故选E。 【17题详解】 根据后文“It was closed for redecoration. (它因重新装修而关闭了)”可知，作者一家应是到达酒店后发现它关闭了，C选项中Hotel Ramada对应后文It，故C项“我们到达了一个完全不同的华美达酒店”符合语境。故选C。 【18题详解】 根据上一段“We had no clue where we were, our mobile phones nearly out of power. (我们不知道自己身在何处，我们的手机几乎没电了)”提到作者一家身陷困境，结合下文“He was a taxi driver.(他是一名出租车司机)”可知，空处应是提及一个帮助作者一家解决困境的人物，故A项“就在这时，我们的英雄来了”符合语境。故选A。 【19题详解】 根据上文“He was so kind as to offer to drive us around for the rest of our stay. (他好心地提出在我们剩下的逗留时间里开车载我们四处转转)”提到那名司机带作者一行人四处转转，结合下文“For the next four days, from floating markets to the temples of Wat Pho, our trip wouldn’t have been so trouble-free without him.(在接下来的四天里，从水上市场到卧佛寺，如果没有他，我们的旅行不会这么顺利)”可知，作者一家应是很感谢那位司机，故B项“我们的感激之情难以形容”符合语境。故选B。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Sometimes when things don’t go according to plan, I think about the stranger we met on the streets and how a tiny mistake on our part led to unexpected results.(有时候，当事情没有按计划进行时，我会想起我们在街上遇到的那个陌生人，想到我们的一个小错误是如何导致意想不到的结果的)”可知，事情不按原计划发展时作者总会想起那位陌生人和那次旅行，所以空处应是总结那次旅行得出的感悟，故G项“这次旅行提醒我们，黑暗中总有一线光明”符合语境。故选G。 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Wilson had been walking down a path with Eva slightly ahead of her when a mountain lion suddenly appeared and swiped Wilson across the left shoulder.

There were just two more shopping days before Christmas, and most of the shoppers in line were in panic mode. One of those customers was my husband, Dale. Dale is one of those people who are the no-nonsense shoppers who depend on fast service because every minute counts as the countdown before Christmas continues. But the service here was anything but fast. The problem was the elderly lady at the front of the line, who kept talking happily to the salesgirl working at the cash register. “This sweater is for my granddaughter” the lady explained. “She’s going to be a teacher, you know. And she’s doing very well. She has a very nice boyfriend who is an architectural technician. He’s just started a job with a good company, but you know, we haven’t seen any sign of a ring yet. Young people seem to wait so long these days. Why, I was married with one child and another one on the way when I was her age.” On and on she talked as she painstakingly counted out her change, unaware of the winding snake of customers behind her. When she finally zipped her purse shut and picked up her parcel, the clerk gestured to the man next in line. “Thank you, dearie.” She started to move slowly, checking the contents of her shopping bag. She was almost to the end of the counter when suddenly she turned back. “Oops! Excuse me, what’s this for?” she asked, holding up a piece of paper. “It’s a discount coupon (优惠券) that will give you 15 percent off your next purchase here at the store,” replied the salesgirl. “Well, thank you, my dear, but I won’t be needing this,” she beamed. “Here, you can use it right now!” she said, handing it to the man next in line. The man’s eyes widened, and he mumbled (嘟囔) a word of thanks as she walked to the door. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150词左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Then an amazing thing happened. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ By the time the coupon reached Dale, he felt like he was part of something special. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Possible version: Then an amazing thing happened. The man used the coupon that the elderly lady had given him. When the clerk handed him another coupon for his next visit to the store, he promptly turned around and gave it to the woman in line behind him. After she had used that coupon and the clerk gave her another one, the woman then passed it back to the shopper behind her. Dale couldn’t believe that a simple gesture of kindness could spark such chain reaction. By the time the coupon reached Dale, he felt like he was part of something special. He had never experienced anything like it before, and he was grateful to be a part of it. Dale decided to pay it forward by giving the coupon to the person behind him. He had come in feeling stressed and frustrated, but he was leaving feeling happy and fulfilled. It wasn’t the physical gift itself, but the reminder that even in the midst of the holiday rush, people were still capable of kindness and generosity. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了在圣诞节前的一个购物高峰期，一位老年女士在超市收银台前与收银员愉快地交谈并慢慢结账，导致后面排队的顾客感到不耐烦。然而，这位老年女士在离开前将获得的优惠券慷慨地送给了下一位顾客，展现了她的善良和慷慨。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然后一件神奇的事情发生了。”可知，第一段可描写优惠券在顾客之间传递所引发的连锁反应以及人们的感受。 ②由第二段首句内容“当优惠券到达Dale手中时，他觉得自己是特殊事物的一部分。”可知，第二段可描写Dale对优惠券传递所引发的连锁反应的感受以及他决定继续传递善意的决定。 2.续写线索：用优惠券——传递优惠券——Dale不敢相信——Dale参与进去——Dale情绪的变化——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①使用：use/utilize ②递：hand/pass ③把爱传出去：pay forward/pass forward 情绪类 ①感谢：grateful/thankful ②沮丧：frustrated/depressed 【点睛】[高分句型1] The man used the coupon that the elderly lady had given him.

B A short video capturing the heartfelt reunion of a daughter and her mother, who works away from home, has gone viral on social media recently. The video was shared by Li Qiushuang, a college student. Li covered over 1600 kilometers to deliver a warm and unexpected surprise. Li’ s parents had migrated to Fujian for work over 20 years ago. Normally, they would return to Chongqing together just before the Spring Festival. However, due to Li’s grandmother falling ill this year, her father returned home early to look after the elderly, leaving her mother to work alone at a shoe factory in Jinjiang. In a recent video call, Li’s mother informed her daughter that she wouldn’t be able to come home for the New Year this time. One reason was her desire to earn more money, and the other was the inconvenience caused by her limited education level for traveling back home. Concerned about her mother spending the New Year alone in a distant place, Li immediately booked a flight and decided to pick up her mother. The reason why Li didn’t simply buy a ticket for her mother and let her travel on her own was that her mother was not accustomed to traveling alone. Having spent the last two decades mostly within the village where she worked, Li’s mother wasn’t familiar with public transportation. On the evening of Jan 20, Li arrived and went directly to her mother’s residence. When her mother saw her daughter suddenly appear, she first looked surprised, and then tears of happiness flowed down her face. This touching video has resonated (引起共鸣) with many netizens. Netizens even initiate a voluntary agreement which pledges to assist each others’ parents facing difficulties while away from home emphasizing the importance of mutual support in times of need. 4. What do we know about Li’s parents? A. They had left their hometown for Fujian for 20 years. B. Li’s father asked his wife to go on working till the Spring Festival. C. They usually got back to Chongqing for the Spring Festival reunion. D. The workplace of Li’s mother was 1600 kilometers from Chongqing. 5. Why did Li insist that her mother should return home? A. Because her mother’s staying alone in Fujian worried her. B. Because her mother didn’t earn enough to buy a plane ticket. C. Because her mother didn’t know how to return home on her own. D. Because her mother was afraid to travel without others by her side. 6. What does the underlined word“pledges” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Promises. B. Suggests. C. Continues. D. Urges. 7. Which words can best describe Li? A. Caring and ambitious. B. Successful and flexible. C. Optimistic and kind. D. Considerate and decisive. C Many Americans joke about how bad they are at math. But, labor experts and others in the United States are not laughing. Jim Stigler is a professor at the University of California, Los Angeles. He studies the process of teaching and learning subjects, including math(STEM). He said, “The advances in technology that are going to drive where the world goes in the next 50 years are going to come from other countries, because they have the intellectual capital and we don’ t.” Government labor experts say the number of jobs in areas requiring math skill will increase by more than 30,000 each year through the end of 2030. That is much faster than most other kinds of jobs. But most American students are not prepared for those jobs. In the most recent Program for International Student Assessment tests in math (PISA), U. S. students tested lower than students from 36 other education systems around the world. Students in China tested the highest. However, students from other countries are preparing to lead in these areas, reports the National Foundation for American Policy, a non-profit organization. It says only one in five graduate students in math-heavy fields at U. S. universities are American. The rest come from other countries. Most will leave the U. S. when they finish their programs. In Massachusetts, employers are expecting a shortage over the next five years of 11,000 workers in the life sciences alone. “This is not an educational question alone,” said Josh Wyner,a vice president of the Aspen Institute. Not everyone is convinced that a lack of math skills is holding America back. “What employers really want is being able to learn the systems and solve problems,” said Todd Thibodeaux, president and CEO of CompTIA, an information technology trade association. “Other countries,” he said, “are dying for the way our kids learn creativity.” 8. What does Jim Stigler want to convey in paragraph 2? A. Intellectual capital decides a nation’s future. B. The U. S. will fall behind other states in 50 years. C. Technological talents aren’t fairly treated in the U. S. D. Technological progress will be more obviously seen in other countries. 9. How does Americans’ poor math skill affect themselves? A. Make it harder for them to land a job in 2030. B. Make them ashamed of performing badly in tests. C. Decrease their competitiveness in jobs related to maths. D. Push them to leave the U. S. after finishing their studies. 10. Why did Todd regard the lack of math skills as an unimportant issue? A. American kids have a gift of creative vision. B. Employers emphasize workers’ creativity. C. Math skills can be trained well in the workplace. D. Other countries’ kids are poor in solving problems. 11. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Americans Don’t Realize the Status of Math. B. Americans Didn’t Value Math in Childhoods. C. Americans Are Losing the Intellectual Capital. D. Americans’ Poor Math Skills Raise Concerns. D The number of snowshoe hares (雪靴兔) in the Canadian Yukon soars to the highest point every few years. With a surge in hare populations, their predators lynx and coyotes also increase in number. Then hare populations fall and their predators start to die off. The cycle which has been studied since the 1920s is famous among ecologists. In recent years, though, researchers have found hare numbers fall not just because predators eat them. Long-lasting stress from living surrounded by killers causes mother hares to eat less food and bear fewer babies. The trauma (创伤) of living through such threats causes lasting changes in brain chemistry, keeping the hares from reproducing at normal levels. It’s not just snowshoe hares. Behavioural ecologists Liana Zanette and Michael Clinchy have found that fear of predators can cause other wild mammals and songbirds to bear and raise fewer young. The offspring of frightened voles and song sparrows are less likely to succeed in reproducing. These findings add to a growing body of evidence showing that fearful experiences can have long-lasting effects on wildlife and suggesting that post-traumatic stress disorder(PTSD) is not only unique to humans, but shared among other creatures. Rudy Boonstra, a population ecologist at the University of Toronto, sees the response of snowshoe hares as an adaptation that allows the animals to make the best of a bad situation. Animals stressed by many predators spend more time hiding and less time feeding, so they produce fewer young — but that may allow more adult hares to survive to rebuild the population when the cycle starts again. Despite the evidence that varieties of animals experience the long-term impacts of extreme stress, some psychologists still hold their human-centered view of PTSD. “It is defined in terms of human responses,” says neurobiologist David Diamond. “There is no biological measure — you can’ t get a blood test that says someone has PTSD. This is a psychological disease, and that’s why I call it a human disorder. Because a rat can’t tell you how it feels.” 12. What can be learned from the hare population? A. Their populations have been falling all the time. B. Their numbers decline partly because of stress. C. Their safety is threatened by wild mammals and songbirds. D. Their predators lynx and coyotes are on the edge of dying out. 13. What can we conclude from Paragraph 3? A. PTSD exists among wild animals. B. It is hard for animals to remember trauma. C. Birds attract fewer predators than land animals do. D. Snowshoe hares suffer more than other mammals. 14. What’s Diamond’s attitude towards animals’PTSD? A. Favorable. B. Ambiguous. C. Suspicious. D. Unconcerned. 15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To give a bricf introduction to PTSD. B. To talk about how to get over trauma. C. To call for the protection of snowshoe hares. D. To discuss how fear might hurt animals. 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。 After my family got comfortably settled in Hotel Ramada in Bangkok, we started exploring the city. After endless hours of shopping, it was finally time to go back. This was when the trouble started. We forgot there are two Ramada hotels in the opposite directions.

There were just two more shopping days before Christmas, and most of the shoppers in line were in panic mode. One of those customers was my husband, Dale. Dale is one of those people who are the no-nonsense shoppers who depend on fast service because every minute counts as the countdown before Christmas continues. But the service here was anything but fast. The problem was the elderly lady at the front of the line, who kept talking happily to the salesgirl working at the cash register. “This sweater is for my granddaughter,” the lady explained. “She’s going to be a teacher, you know. And she’s doing very well. She has a very nice boyfriend who is an architectural technician. He’s just started a job with a good company, but you know, we haven’t seen any sign of a ring yet. Young people seem to wait so long these days. Why, I was married with one child and another one on the way when I was her age.” On and on she talked as she painstakingly counted out her change, unaware of the winding snake of customers behind her. When she finally zipped her purse shut and picked up her parcel, the clerk gestured to the man next in line. “Thank you, dearie.” She started to move slowly, checking the contents of her shopping bag. She was almost to the end of the counter when suddenly she turned back. “Oops! Excuse me, what’s this for?” she asked, holding up a piece of paper. “It’s a discount coupon (优惠券) that will give you 15 percent off your next purchase here at the store,” replied the salesgirl. “Well, thank you, my dear, but I won’t be needing this,” she beamed. “Here, you can use it right now!” she said, handing it to the man next in line. The man’s eyes widened, and he mumbled (嘟囔) a word of thanks as she walked to the door. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150词左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Then an amazing thing happened. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ By the time the coupon reached Dale, he felt like he was part of something special. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
