B Jim Denevan is an amazing artist whose work is admired by many people, but owned by none—that’s because all of Jim’s art is created on an unusual canvas (画布)--the soft sand. He sometimes spends days working on a piece, only to see it washed away by the sea or a storm and that is just the way he likes it. Denevan discovered his artistic talents about ten years ago, when he was walking aimlessly on the beach with a stick. He ended up drawing a 12-foot-long fish. Since then, Jim has traveled over 1, 800 miles while creating over 600 pieces of sand art. Over the years, his drawings have become bigger, but the tools he uses haven’t changed-- all he needs is a stick, a garden rake (耙) and most importantly, his lively imagination! Just like any good artist, Jim is quite particular about the quality of his canvas, sometimes walking for miles, in search of perfect sand. His latest piece of work was created in the desert sands of Nevada. It took Jim three trips, eight days and over 100 miles of walking to create this 3-mile work of art. It took the storm just one night to destroy it. However, Jim says he actually enjoys watching the waves or rain wash his paintings away. Jim’s art has become very popular over the years and was even the topic of a documentary named Sandman in 2005. Jim Denevan is not just a sand artist--he is also an excellent cook and started an organization called “Outstanding in the Field”, whose motto (座右铭) is to celebrate food at its source. Therefore, group dining events are held outdoors on farms, with the diners treated to a delicious meal. The events, which are held in different farms throughout America, are always sold out the minute the schedule is announced. 14. What do we know about Denevan? A. He used to be a cook. B. He has the gift for creating sand art. C. He is eager to put his work on show. D. He showed artistic talents at a very young age. 15. What can we learn from the test? A. It is not hard for Denevan to find suitable sand. B. Denevan is very particular about his drawing tools. C. Denevan walks a lot to complete his work at times. D. Denevan’s works usually remain for a long time. 16. What does Denevan enjoy about his work according to the text? A. Walking a long distance. B. Waiting for the storm to come. C. Looking for a suitable canvas. D. Watching nature destroy his work. 17. Which of the following can best describe Denevan? A. Creative. B. Generous. C. Open-minded. D. Traditional. C English history is vast, from its rule under the Romans to the rise, heights and fall of the British Empire. When choosing a book to recommend on my country’s history, I wanted something that could summarize this sweeping history but didn’t get stuck in the details of things that hold me back from completely engaging with this truly rich history. Then, I found Dominic Hnynes’ A Brief History of England. The book is a tour through the whole of English history, from its earliest people to the movement of settlers from Europe. It looks at the Battle of Hastings in 1066, Elizabeth I’s rule and the lasting impact of Shakespeare. Then it touches on the English Civil Wars and the shift of rule from kings and queens to the parliament (议会) running the country and the establishment of the political parties. It also covers the Napoleonic Wars and the world wars and even considers England’s post-Brexit (脱欧后的) present and future. This really is quite the sweeping book. However, it’s very short. This means it’s easy to navigate (浏览) and get a hold of a huge amount of history, but it also means it’s very light on the details. At times, this can be upsetting, as there are parts where it feels like just one more paragraph or page would really elevate (提升) this book. But for an introduction to English history or perhaps a reminder or refresher, it’s great and particularly useful as it is likely to fill in some gaps in your knowledge. Furthermore, because of the pace (节奏) of the book, there’s not a boring moment. It’s a real page-turner, covering the succession(交替) of kings and queens, wars, and changes in the social order of the country at home and the country’s influence across the world. One reviewer on Amazon described the book as “a small masterpiece”, and said, “This is a great book for anyone who wants to get a crash course in English history or for those who want a quick reference to that subject.” So, jump in, dear readers, and get a hold of what made England what it was, what it went on to be, and where it may stand in our global future. 18. What is the main focus of Dominic Haynes’ A Brief History of England? A. Detailed exploration of England’s political parties. B. In-depth analysis of England’s post-Brexit policies. C. A lengthy introduction to the British Empire’s rise and fall. D. A brief overview of England’s historical shifts and events. 19. What is a weakness mentioned of the reviewer regarding the book? A. Its pace is slow and upsetting. B. It dives too deeply into political issues. C. There’s a shortage of information on wars. D. It lacks detailed information due to its shortness. 20. Which of following can best explain the underlined word “page-turner”? A. A book that is exciting to read. B. A book that is complicated. C. A book that is easy to understand. D. A book that has lots of pages to turn. 21. What is the main purpose of this text? A. To call on people to know the UK’s history. B. To recommend a book of the UK’s history. C. To suggest ways to know the UK’s history. D. To comment on the politics of the UK’s history. D We’re all familiar with songs getting stuck in our head while we’re awake, but it turns out that this can happen during sleep as well. A new study shows that earworms getting into our brains at night could cause problems in getting to sleep and staying asleep. Neuroscientist (神经系统科学家) Michael Scullin from Baylor University and his co-workers used surveys of 199 people, as well as sleep lab tests involving 50 volunteers, to measure the influence of listening to music before bedtime on sleep. In the survey part of the study, those who often listened to music during the day were more likely to report lasting nighttime earworms, which then had a negative（负面的）effect on sleep quality through the night. For the lab tests, individuals were played instrumental or standard versions（标准版本）of Shake It Off by Taylor Swift, Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen, and Don’t Stop Believin’ by Journey. Tests were used to measure their sleep quality. Earworms were reported throughout the night by the people surveyed, with those taking longer to fall asleep, spending more time in the light stages of sleep and waking up more times during the night. Surprisingly, the instrumental versions of the songs caused about twice as many earworms and more sleep problems than the standard ones. Past studies have connected late-night music listening with better sleep in those with insomnia (失眠症) perhaps because it can relax the body. The researchers behind the new study suggest that actually it might be worse for our sleep-- even after the songs stop, our brains continue to process them for several hours. Scullin suggests avoiding listening to music right before bed to limit the chance of catching earworms. Doing some other cognitive (认知的) activities before sleeping, like making a list of jobs for the next day, might also help clear the mind, Scullin says. 22. Which of the following might be an earworm? A. A song that comes to your mind again and again. B. A signal given by the brain when you’re awake. C. A worm that comes into your ears during sleep. D. A body reaction when hearing familiar songs. 23. How is the survey done? A. By surveying people’s familiarity with the songs played. B. By measuring people’s satisfaction with their sleep quality. C. By doing tests to measure people’s preferences to different music versions. D. By figuring out the relation between sleep and late-night music listening through tests. 24. What’s the finding of Scullin’s study? A. Music versions make no difference to sleep quality. B. Playing instrumental music resulted in more earworms. C. Late-night music listening helps people get over insomnia. D. Doing cognitive activities in the daytime brings good sleep. 25. What does Scullin think of late-night music listening? A. Scary. B. Creative. C. Terrible. D. Relaxing. 第二节 （共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 As an artist who shares her journey on social media, I’m often asked by curious followers how to begin an art journey. Unfortunately, there is no magic list I can offer. I do remember, though, what it was like to be a complete beginner. So I’ve put together some good tips for starting an art journey. ●Start small. I suggest using a sketchbook (素描本) for small studies. These small studies provide inspiration and may be a springboard for more complex (复杂的) works in the future. 26 You’ll want to look back on your journey to see how far you’ve come. ●Paint often and paint from life. There’s no better way to improve than to put in those brush miles. Whether you paint still lifes, portraits, or landscapes, paint from life as much as possible. 27 ●Continually challenge yourself to try something new. 28 Artistic growth can be a bit painful. Welcome to the club; we’ve all been there. I love taking on challenges. I once took up a challenge to create a painting every day for a month and post the works online. ● 29 Seeking and accepting constructive feedback (反馈) is important to growth. I post my work on social media and, in turn, have met some of the kindest people. They make me feel valued and respected, no matter my level of artistic ability. The journey you’re on won’t follow a straight path. 30 Push through, give it time and put in the effort. You will harvest the rewards of an artistic life. A. Get out of your comfort zone. B. Make career plans and set goals. C. Don’t throw away your beginner art. D. Share your work if you feel comfortable doing so. E. You’ll hit roadblocks, and you’ll feel discouraged at times. F. Evaluate your performance and, if needed, redefine your role. G. You’ll develop that painting muscle memory that only comes with repetition. 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1.5分，满分22.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 This past May, Joy Kochar and 10 other students gathered in Columbus Park, in New York City.

As they had not paid the rent for several months, the landlord was breathing down their necks (盯着他们). One day, Jack took Mary’s shoes to a shoe repairman to be fixed, but he lost them on the way home. It wasn’t until he got home that he realized he had lost the shoes. He was afraid that his parents would be angry and disappointed, so he begged his sister to keep it secret. Mary agreed and the two decided to share Jack’s running shoes. Mary’s school hours were in the morning, while Jack’s in the afternoon, so she would wear them first. After school, she would rush back and give them to Jack. He could then run to his school, which began in the afternoon. Although he ran as fast as he could, Jack often arrived late and was warned by the school. A long distance race was going to be held for the boys in the city. When Jack learned that the third prize was a new pair of shoes, he decided to take part. He ran home excitedly and promised his sister that he would win her the new shoes. The day of race arrived. Jack had a strong start, but halfway through the race he began to get tired and his legs began to get painful. Getting more and more tired he thought only of Mary and his promise to her. Dreaming of the new shoes he would win for his sister gave him strength, and he stayed right behind the two fastest runners, determined to finish third. Suddenly, as Jack got close to the finish line, another runner collided (碰撞) with him from behind and he crashed to the ground. 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好； Paragraph 1: Jack looked up and saw the other boys rushing ahead. _____________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Filled with happiness, Jack walked home quickly. _________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
