They needed a chief technical officer to design the website and app. Scott joined their company, offered novel ideas and helped it grow to the point where it runs in 28 major U. S. cities, plus more in Canada. “I wanted to make my own money,” Scott said. While still in high school, Scott co-founded a multifunctional network service platform. She sold it to a software company before her freshman year at Harvard. Scott was interested in entrepreneurship (创业) while still in high school. Her father, a businessman, sowed the seeds of entrepreneurship in her mind, while her elementary school teacher introduced her to coding (编程). It wasn’t long before those enthusiasms joined each other. Always planning to study computer science, Scott chose the Harvard John A．Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Attending Harvard realized a dream she and her father had shared. Even as she was studying computer science, she was gaining other skills that would pay off in her career as an entrepreneur. “Harvard encourages a multidisciplinary approach to education and comprehensive abilities, which can be beneficial and necessary for entrepreneurs who often need to deal with various aspects of business,” she said. By day, she does coding at a big company. She’s also become an investor in other small businesses. “When I invest in a startup, I’m looking for a passionate team with an innovative idea that addresses a clear market need,” she said. It’s been a while since Scott co-founded a company of her own, but that doesn’t mean she’s done with that part of her life. She makes the most of every business experience to acquire new skills. For her, each experience is an opportunity to study. When the next company opportunity presents itself, she’ll just be that much more ready with what she’s gained and gain new insights from it. 4. Which can best describe Scott according to paragraph 1? A. Strong-willed and outgoing. B. Creative and ambitious. C. Cooperative and generous. D. Hard-working and independent. 5. What is the function of paragraph 2? A. To demonstrate Scott’s talents. B. To reveal the reason for Scott’s success. C. To describe Scott’s background. D. To show the sources of Scott’s interests. 6. How does Harvard’s education influence Scott? A. It inspires her to be an investor. B. It equips her with many business skills. C. It fires her passion for computers. D. It offers her an entrepreneurial platform. 7. What message is conveyed in the last paragraph? A. There is no end to learning. B. Interest is the best teacher. C. Good things come to those who wait. D. To be prepared is half the victory. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述了Scott在成长的道路上，将对创业的热爱与计算机编程爱好结合，一步步走向成功的故事。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Scott joined their company, offered novel ideas and helped it grow to the point where it runs in 28 major U. S. cities, plus more in Canada. “I wanted to make my own money,” Scott said. While still in high school, Scott co-founded a multifunctional network service platform. She sold it to a software company before her freshman year at Harvard.(斯科特加入了他们的公司，提出了新颖的想法，并帮助公司发展到在美国28个主要城市开展业务，在加拿大也有更多的城市。“我想自己赚钱，”斯科特说。还在高中的时候，斯科特就与人共同创立了一个多功能网络服务平台。她在上哈佛大学一年级之前把它卖给了一家软件公司)”可知，她提出了新颖的想法，很有创造力，想自己赚钱，和别人共同创建了一个多功能网络服务平台，很有抱负。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Scott was interested in entrepreneurship (创业) while still in high school. Her father, a businessman, sowed the seeds of entrepreneurship in her mind, while her elementary school teacher introduced her to coding (编程). It wasn’t long before those enthusiasms joined each other.(斯科特在高中时就对创业感兴趣。她的父亲是一名商人，在她的脑海里播下了创业的种子，而她的小学老师则向她介绍了编程。没过多久，这些热情就相互融合在一起了)”可知，第二段是为了展示Scott对创业和编程的兴趣的来源。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Harvard encourages a multidisciplinary approach to education and comprehensive abilities, which can be beneficial and necessary for entrepreneurs who often need to deal with various aspects of business(哈佛鼓励多学科的教育方法和综合能力，这对于经常需要处理商业各个方面的企业家来说是有益和必要的)”可知，Scott在哈佛学到了必备的商业知识和技能。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“It’s been a while since Scott co-founded a company of her own, but that doesn’t mean she’s done with that part of her life. She makes the most of every business experience to acquire new skills. For her, each experience is an opportunity to study. When the next company opportunity presents itself, she’ll just be that much more ready with what she’s gained and gain new insights from it.(斯科特与人联合创办自己的公司已经有一段时间了，但这并不意味着她已经结束了自己生活中的那一部分。她充分利用每一次商业经验来获得新的技能。对她来说，每一次经历都是一次学习的机会。当下一个公司的机会出现时，她就会对她所获得的东西做好更充分的准备，并从中获得新的见解)”可知，虽然Scott已经与人联合创办了她自己的公司，但她并没有停下脚步，她会充分利用每一次商业经历掌握新的技能。如果下一个商业机会出现，她会更加从容，并从中获得新的见解。这表明她在不断地学习和积累新知识，A项“学习永无止境”。故选A。 C Grass-powered gas is set to heat thousands of homes for the first time in the coming weeks. Energy firm Ecotricity is expected to begin supplying gas to 5,300 homes from its plant near Reading through the distribution company Southern Gas Networks in April. Research has estimated that the gas can reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) release by nearly 90 percent. It is hoped that the plan can be expanded to supply fuel to more homes around the country. The £11 million plant uses bacteria to break down grasses and herbs, which absorb CO₂ while growing, in certain containers. This produces biogas which is then upgraded to biomethane (生物甲烷) for use in the gas network. An organic fertiliser (肥料), which is intended to help grow more grass, is also produced. Ecotricity owner Dale Vince hopes to expand across the country, building plants which reduce the use of conventional fuels while avoiding damage to the environment, and boost energy security. Green gas has previously been made from food waste or “high-energy” crops such as corn, but both face sustainability issues and problems with a lack of size. “Our mix of grass and herbs makes carbon neutral (中性的) gas, pulling carbon out of the atmosphere,” said Mr. Vince. “It’s a cycle of carbon rather than net zero release.” Asked about Ecotricity’s biomethane project, a Department for Energy Security and Net Zero spokesman said: “Initiatives like this show how the UK is leading in the development of innovations in green technologies that can help increase our energy security, tackle climate change and bring down people’s bills.” A spokesman for Southern Gas Networks said: “We’ve partnered with Ecotricity to deliver the biomethane to a project at a site in Farley Hill near Reading. The project will supply 5,300 nearby properties with renewable green gas for heat and power, helping to reduce each household’s annual carbon release by about 2.2 tonnes.” 8. What is the feature of the gas from Ecotricity’s plant? A. It is eco-friendly. B. It is cost-effective. C. It is free of carbon. D. It is easy to produce. 9. Which aspect of the plant is mainly talked about in paragraph 2? A. Its financial state. B. Its technical process. C. Its expected outcome. D. Its breakdown system. 10. What is the disadvantage of previous green gas? A. Insufficient security. B. Contribution to food waste. C. Dependence on old fuels. D. Unsustainable development. 11. Why are the spokesmen’s words cited in the last two paragraphs? A. To prove the project’s success. B. To emphasize the broad support. C. To explain the project’s potential. D. To discuss environmental benefits. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文介绍了一种新型环保气体——草制气体的生产过程、特点以及优势，并说明了该气体将首次为数千户家庭供暖。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第一段中的“Research has estimated that the gas can reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) release by nearly 90 percent.(研究表明，这种气体可以减少近90%的温室气体排放。)”和第二段中的“The £11 million plant uses bacteria to break down grasses and herbs, which absorb CO₂ while growing, in certain containers.(这家耗资1100万英镑的工厂使用细菌来分解草和草药，这些草和草药在某些容器中生长时会吸收二氧化碳。)”可知，该工厂生产的气体是环保的。故选A项。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。由文章第二段第一句“The £11 million plant uses bacteria to break down grasses and herbs, which absorb CO₂ while growing, in certain containers.(这家耗资1100万英镑的工厂使用细菌来分解草和草药，这些草和草药在某些容器中生长时会吸收二氧化碳。)”和最后一句“An organic fertiliser (肥料), which is intended to help grow more grass, is also produced.(还生产了一种有机肥料，旨在帮助种植更多的草。)”可知，本段主要讲述了工厂的技术流程。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第四段第一句“Green gas has previously been made from food waste or ‘high-energy’ crops such as corn, but both face sustainability issues and problems with a lack of size.(以前，绿色气体是由食物垃圾或玉米等高能作物制成的，但两者都面临可持续性问题以及规模不足的问题。)”可知，以前的绿色气体不可持续发展。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。由文章倒数第二段中一位能源安全和净零排放部发言人的话“Initiatives like this show how the UK is leading in the development of innovations in green technologies that can help increase our energy security, tackle climate change and bring down people’s bills.(这样的举措表明，英国在绿色技术创新方面处于领先地位，这些创新有助于提高我们的能源安全，应对气候变化，降低人们的账单。)”以及最后一段中南方天然气网络公司的另一位发言人的话“We’ve partnered with Ecotricity to deliver the biomethane to a project at a site in Farley Hill near Reading. The project will supply 5,300 nearby properties with renewable green gas for heat and power, helping to reduce each household’s annual carbon release by about 2.2 tonnes.(我们已与Ecotricity合作，将生物甲烷输送到雷丁附近法利山的一个项目。该项目将为附近的5300处房产提供可再生绿色天然气用于供暖和供电，有助于减少每户家庭每年约2.2吨的碳排放。)”可知，他们分别表示支持Ecotricity的生物甲烷项目，并强调了该项目对能源安全、应对气候变化和降低人们账单的好处，由此可知，引用发言人的话是为了强调该项目的好处，解释该项目的潜力。故选C项。 D Are you a logical thinker, or would you say that you’re more free-spirited and artistic? If you’re the former, somebody’s probably told you at some point that you’re a left-brained person, and if you’re the latter, right-brained. The idea that the right half of the brain is the creative half and the left half is the analytical half and that our individual characteristics are determined by which half is dominant is widespread in popular psychology. However, this idea is a fiction. Although we all obviously have different personalities and talents, there’s no reason to believe these differences can be explained by the dominance of one half of the brain over the other half. Recent research using brain imaging technology hasn’t found any evidence of hemispheric (脑半球的) dominance. Math, for example, requires logical thought and, thus, is generally said to be connected with the left brain. But mathematics involves a highly creative effort in addition to being a logical one. So would a gifted mathematician be a right-brained or a left-brained person? If there’s no evidence for the fiction of right-brained and left-brained people, why do so many people accept it? Perhaps it just makes intuitive (直觉的) sense that people’s brains would be dominant on one side or the other just as their hands, feet, or eyes are. It may also have something to do with our seemingly unlimited appetite that allows us to sort ourselves (and our friends) into “types” based on our emotional and intellectual characteristics. When people are offered general descriptive statements that are presented as individualized descriptions of their own personalities, they tend to accept them as meaningful and true, especially if the statements are positive. The “insights” they generate are both universal and congenial. After all, who would reject a description of themselves as “artistic and creative” or “reasonable and analytical”? The fiction is popular, in the end, because it gives us a “scientific” way to talk about our favorite subject — ourselves. 12. What can we learn from the passage? A. A free-spirited artist is a right-handed person. B. The left half of the brain deals with analytical work. C. Different personalities are determined by the brain. D. The idea of which half of the brain is dominant is a fiction. 13. Which is a possible reason for people believing left-brained or right-brained dominance? A. Roles of different brain regions. B. Distinctions between different people. C. The tendency to classify people. D. The conclusion from daily phenomena. 14. What does the underlined word “congenial” mean in the last paragraph? A. Reasonable. B. Accurate. C. Random. D. Pleasing. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. The Science of Different Personalities B. The Truth Behind Hemispheric Dominance C. Links Between the Brain and Characters D. Ways to Tell Right-brained and Left-brained People 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要驳斥了关于左脑型人和右脑型人这种流行观念，并解释了为什么人们会相信这一观念。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Although we all obviously have different personalities and talents, there’s no reason to believe these differences can be explained by the dominance of one half of the brain over the other half. Recent research using brain imaging technology hasn’t found any evidence of hemispheric (脑半球的) dominance.(尽管我们显然都具有不同的个性和才能，但没有理由相信这些差异可以由大脑的一侧对另一侧的主导来解释。最近使用脑成像技术进行的研究并未发现任何关于脑半球主导性的证据)”可知，哪个半脑占主导地位的观点是虚构的，没有根据的。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“It may also have something to do with our seemingly unlimited appetite that allows us to sort ourselves (and our friends) into “types” based on our emotional and intellectual characteristics.(这也可能与我们看似无尽的欲望有关，这种欲望使我们能够根据情感和智力特征将自己(和我们的朋友)分类为不同的“类型”)可知，人们相信这一错误的观念可能是因为我们倾向于将自己和他人分类。故选C。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词前“When people are offered general descriptive statements that are presented as individualized descriptions of their own personalities, they tend to accept them as meaningful and true, especially if the statements are positive. (当人们被提供一般的描述性陈述，作为对他们个性的个性化描述时，他们倾向于接受这些陈述，认为它们是有意义的和真实的，尤其是如果这些陈述是正面的)”可知，画线词所在句与上文呼应，“general”对应“universal”，“positive”对应“congenial”。画线词后提到谁会拒绝将自己描述为“有艺术性和创造力”或“理性且具分析力”呢。综合以上分析可知，“congenial”应指人们不会拒绝的且令人高兴的，D项“令人愉快的”可解释画线词含义。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。第一段通过提问引入广泛流行的观点，即大脑的左右半球分别主导分析性和创造性思维，性格由优势半脑决定，并指出这是一个虚构的说法；第二段引用最近的脑成像技术研究并以数学为例驳斥这种流行观点；第三段解释这种流行观点被广泛接受的原因；第四段阐述人们接受该观点的心理机制。综合各段大意可知，文章的主旨是揭示和驳斥大脑的左右半球分别主导分析性和创造性思维，性格由优势半脑决定这种观点，并探讨其流行的深层原因。B项“The Truth Behind Hemispheric Dominance(关于脑半球主导的真相)”既暗含对左右脑主导不同思维这一观点的否定，又能包含对此的一种解释，概括了文章大意，适合作文章标题。故选B。 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。 Modern art is often seen as difficult to understand.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章介绍了几种帮助人们欣赏现代艺术作品的技巧。 【16题详解】 根据“To appreciate modern art, you must first learn to observe it closely and understand the artist’s intentions.(要欣赏现代艺术，首先要学会近距离观察，理解艺术家的意图)”可知，本段介绍的是要仔细观察现代艺术作品并理解艺术家的意图，再根据“Modern art often contains hidden meanings and symbols that can only be discovered closely. Pay attention to the colors, shapes, and textures (神韵) used in the artwork.(现代艺术往往包含隐藏的意义和符号，只有仔细观察才能发现。注意艺术作品中使用的颜色、形状和神韵)”可知，空处内容应说明留意这些东西对理解艺术家意图的积极作用，故A项“它们都在艺术家要传达的信息中发挥着作用”符合语境。A项中的“They”与空前的“the colors，shapes, and textures (神韵)”间的指代关系是提示。故选A项。 【17题详解】 根据前文“Another way is to learn more about artists who created the artwork.(另一种方法是更多地了解创作这些艺术品的艺术家)”以及后文“This will give you a deeper understanding of their work and the context in which it was created, helping you connect with the artwork personally.(这将使您更深入地了解他们的作品及其创作背景，帮助您亲自与艺术品建立联系)”可知，空前提到要了解创作艺术作品的艺术家，空后提到这将使你更深入地了解他们的作品及其创作背景，据此可知，空处应说明了解艺术家的具体做法或行动，故D项“了解他们的背景、影响和创作过程”符合语境。故选D项。 【18题详解】 根据前文“Interpreting modern art is a highly subjective process. Many personal and cultural factors can influence how you perceive and understand it.(解读现代艺术是一个非常主观的过程。许多个人和文化因素会影响你如何感知和理解它)”以及后文“For example, we all know understanding the context of the artwork, including the social, political, and cultural influences of its time, can provide important clues to its meaning.(例如，我们都知道了解艺术品的背景，包括当时的社会、政治和文化影响，可以为其意义提供重要线索)”可知，空处内容应与上文构成转折关系，说明尽管对艺术的解读会受到个人、文化等因素的影响，但还是有通用的方法可以助力你的解读的。对比选项定答案G项“然而，一些通用的原则可以帮助指导你的理解”与空前内容形成转折，且能总领空后内容，与之衔接紧密，符合语境。故选G项。 【19题详解】 空处位于段首，应是段落主旨句。根据空后内容“You need to find meaning and significance in the artwork that resonates with (引起共鸣) you. This connection is subjective and personal, and it’s what makes art so powerful. Identify what emotions, memories, or experiences the artwork brings to you.(你需要在艺术作品中找到与你产生共鸣的意义。这种联系是主观的和个人的，这就是艺术如此强大的原因。确定艺术作品带给你的情感、记忆或体验)”可知，本段内容侧重于个人与作品之间的联系，故F项“此外，与艺术作品建立个人联系也很重要”符合语境。空后的“resonates with (引起共鸣) you”“This connection is subjective and personal”与F项中的“a personal connection to the artwork”的呼应关系是提示。故选F项。 【20题详解】 根据前文“But what if you’re struggling to appreciate modern art on your own?(但如果你自己很难欣赏现代艺术呢？)”为问句，因此空处应是对此的回答。再结合空后“These professionals can guide you through looking at art, interpreting its meaning, and connecting with it personally. They can also help you build a collection of art that speaks to you and fits your style.(这些专业人士可以指导你如何看待艺术，解释它的意义，并与它建立个人联系。他们还可以帮助你建立一个艺术收藏，与你说话，适合你的风格)”可知，空处应是在说向专业人士寻求帮助。B项“寻求艺术顾问或咨询师的帮助”与前后文衔接紧密，符合语境。空后的“These professionals”与B项中的“an art advisor or consultant”相呼应；空后的“guide”“help”与B项中的“help”相呼应。故选B项。 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。 When I first started my detox (脱瘾) vacation, I was worried I’d made a big mistake.

This would be my first half-marathon. As demanding as running 13.1 miles seemed, I was going to do it. I signed up for a training group online, a group of strangers with whom I would spend a few months virtually preparing for the race, and then I was directed to sign up for the actual race. I imagined a course somewhere in sunny Florida or California. My jaw dropped when the race website opened and I was greeted with the words “Zion at night, half-marathon in the darkness.” In mountainous Zion in the dark? No. Was it too late to quit? But I’d signed up for a coaching group that was meant to “motivate me through running”. I looked through photos of the race. My heart sank. Runners kitted out with headlamps and rocks on trails (小径) filled the computer screen. I cannot do this, I thought. I don’t run on trails or up hills; I’m also afraid of darkness and heights. A text came through. It was Nicole, our training group’s fearless leader, who has run hundred-mile marathons. “Sign up for the 4 am start time,” she wrote. As I filled in my name and address, I tried to figure out how likely I was to get injured during training. Realistically, that was my best way to get out of this race. I filled out the form and started worrying. At our first online meeting, four other teammates turned up. Nicole told us how beautiful the course was and discussed running toward the cliffs (悬崖) as the sun rose. And I nodded along, smiling, wondering how I could possibly overcome my fear of flying to get to another state to join the marathon and of trails, animals and the dark to run this race. Anyhow, I made a training plan for my run with Nicole’s help and encouragement. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 The week before the race, I was more anxious. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I walked to the start line with my teammates on the morning of the race ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The week before the race, I was more anxious. I found myself wishing I would catch a cold to keep me from the run. But the week came and went. The run just two days away, I received Nicole’s text which read “It’s okay. Maybe you’ll be surprised.” Finally, I found the courage to set out. When I landed and met my teammates, I felt some easy. Nicole’s encouragement to us was contagious. After a long chat and dinner, Nicole directed us to the hotel to get a good night’s rest. I walked to the start line with my teammates on the morning of the race. We started together, but I fell behind quickly. I couldn’t see clearly. In company with Nicole, I ran along the stretch to the mountain trail. My nerves were calmed by the silence and dark. As I neared the end of the stretch, the sun began to rise. I looked from afar, balancing my fear of heights and my desire to see. As I traversed the first of many of these rocks, I was overcome by an emotion: joy. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者决定参加半程马拉松并经历了一系列心理变化的故事。作者是首次报名参加半程马拉松，对此既兴奋又紧张。在报名后，作者惊讶地发现比赛地点是在夜晚的山区——锡安，这让她感到不安和担忧，因为她不习惯在山地或夜晚跑步，也害怕黑暗和高度。尽管如此，作者还是加入了一个训练小组，并受到了小组领队Nicole的鼓励。在首次线上会议中，作者听到了Nicole对比赛路线的描述，虽然感到害怕，但在Nicole的帮助和鼓励下，最终还是制定了一个训练计划。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“比赛前一周，我更加焦虑。”可知，第一段可描写作者的焦虑以及Nicole对作者的鼓励。 ②由第二段首句内容“在比赛的早晨，我和队友一起走到起跑线上。”可知，第二段可描写作者比赛的经过，以及成功的喜悦。 2. 续写线索：更加焦虑——想放弃——Nicole鼓励——鼓起勇气出发——比赛开始——Nicole陪伴——成功——喜悦。 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①免于/避开某事：keep sb. from sth./escape sth. ②鼓起勇气：find the courage/summon the courage ③落后：fall behind/lag behind 情绪类 ①恐惧：fear/fright ②喜悦：joy/pleasure 【点睛】[高分句型1]The run just two days away, I received Nicole’s text which read “It’s okay.

B Scott had just graduated when a job posted on a Harvard mailing list caught her eye: two students had an idea for a company offering on-demand household services. They needed a chief technical officer to design the website and app. Scott joined their company, offered novel ideas and helped it grow to the point where it runs in 28 major U. S. cities, plus more in Canada. “I wanted to make my own money,” Scott said. While still in high school, Scott co-founded a multifunctional network service platform. She sold it to a software company before her freshman year at Harvard. Scott was interested in entrepreneurship (创业) while still in high school. Her father, a businessman, sowed the seeds of entrepreneurship in her mind, while her elementary school teacher introduced her to coding (编程). It wasn’t long before those enthusiasms joined each other. Always planning to study computer science, Scott chose the Harvard John A．Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Attending Harvard realized a dream she and her father had shared. Even as she was studying computer science, she was gaining other skills that would pay off in her career as an entrepreneur. “Harvard encourages a multidisciplinary approach to education and comprehensive abilities, which can be beneficial and necessary for entrepreneurs who often need to deal with various aspects of business,” she said. By day, she does coding at a big company. She’s also become an investor in other small businesses. “When I invest in a startup, I’m looking for a passionate team with an innovative idea that addresses a clear market need,” she said. It’s been a while since Scott co-founded a company of her own, but that doesn’t mean she’s done with that part of her life. She makes the most of every business experience to acquire new skills. For her, each experience is an opportunity to study. When the next company opportunity presents itself, she’ll just be that much more ready with what she’s gained and gain new insights from it. 4. Which can best describe Scott according to paragraph 1? A. Strong-willed and outgoing. B. Creative and ambitious. C. Cooperative and generous. D. Hard-working and independent. 5. What is the function of paragraph 2? A. To demonstrate Scott’s talents. B. To reveal the reason for Scott’s success. C. To describe Scott’s background. D. To show the sources of Scott’s interests. 6. How does Harvard’s education influence Scott? A. It inspires her to be an investor. B. It equips her with many business skills. C. It fires her passion for computers. D. It offers her an entrepreneurial platform. 7. What message is conveyed in the last paragraph? A. There is no end to learning. B. Interest is the best teacher. C. Good things come to those who wait. D. To be prepared is half the victory. C Grass-powered gas is set to heat thousands of homes for the first time in the coming weeks. Energy firm Ecotricity is expected to begin supplying gas to 5,300 homes from its plant near Reading through the distribution company Southern Gas Networks in April. Research has estimated that the gas can reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) release by nearly 90 percent. It is hoped that the plan can be expanded to supply fuel to more homes around the country. The £11 million plant uses bacteria to break down grasses and herbs, which absorb CO₂ while growing, in certain containers. This produces biogas which is then upgraded to biomethane (生物甲烷) for use in the gas network. An organic fertiliser (肥料), which is intended to help grow more grass, is also produced. Ecotricity owner Dale Vince hopes to expand across the country, building plants which reduce the use of conventional fuels while avoiding damage to the environment, and boost energy security. Green gas has previously been made from food waste or “high-energy” crops such as corn, but both face sustainability issues and problems with a lack of size. “Our mix of grass and herbs makes carbon neutral (中性的) gas, pulling carbon out of the atmosphere,” said Mr. Vince. “It’s a cycle of carbon rather than net zero release.” Asked about Ecotricity’s biomethane project, a Department for Energy Security and Net Zero spokesman said: “Initiatives like this show how the UK is leading in the development of innovations in green technologies that can help increase our energy security, tackle climate change and bring down people’s bills.” A spokesman for Southern Gas Networks said: “We’ve partnered with Ecotricity to deliver the biomethane to a project at a site in Farley Hill near Reading. The project will supply 5,300 nearby properties with renewable green gas for heat and power, helping to reduce each household’s annual carbon release by about 2.2 tonnes.” 8. What is the feature of the gas from Ecotricity’s plant? A. It is eco-friendly. B. It is cost-effective. C. It is free of carbon. D. It is easy to produce. 9. Which aspect of the plant is mainly talked about in paragraph 2? A. Its financial state. B. Its technical process. C Its expected outcome. D. Its breakdown system. 10. What is the disadvantage of previous green gas? A. Insufficient security. B. Contribution to food waste. C. Dependence on old fuels. D. Unsustainable development. 11. Why are the spokesmen’s words cited in the last two paragraphs? A. To prove the project’s success. B. To emphasize the broad support. C. To explain the project’s potential. D. To discuss environmental benefits. D Are you a logical thinker, or would you say that you’re more free-spirited and artistic? If you’re the former, somebody’s probably told you at some point that you’re a left-brained person, and if you’re the latter, right-brained. The idea that the right half of the brain is the creative half and the left half is the analytical half and that our individual characteristics are determined by which half is dominant is widespread in popular psychology. However, this idea is a fiction. Although we all obviously have different personalities and talents, there’s no reason to believe these differences can be explained by the dominance of one half of the brain over the other half. Recent research using brain imaging technology hasn’t found any evidence of hemispheric (脑半球的) dominance. Math, for example, requires logical thought and, thus, is generally said to be connected with the left brain. But mathematics involves a highly creative effort in addition to being a logical one. So would a gifted mathematician be a right-brained or a left-brained person? If there’s no evidence for the fiction of right-brained and left-brained people, why do so many people accept it? Perhaps it just makes intuitive (直觉的) sense that people’s brains would be dominant on one side or the other just as their hands, feet, or eyes are. It may also have something to do with our seemingly unlimited appetite that allows us to sort ourselves (and our friends) into “types” based on our emotional and intellectual characteristics. When people are offered general descriptive statements that are presented as individualized descriptions of their own personalities, they tend to accept them as meaningful and true, especially if the statements are positive. The “insights” they generate are both universal and congenial. After all, who would reject a description of themselves as “artistic and creative” or “reasonable and analytical”? The fiction is popular, in the end, because it gives us a “scientific” way to talk about our favorite subject — ourselves. 12. What can we learn from the passage? A. A free-spirited artist is a right-handed person. B. The left half of the brain deals with analytical work. C. Different personalities are determined by the brain.

Distinctions between different people. C. The tendency to classify people. D. The conclusion from daily phenomena. 14. What does the underlined word “congenial” mean in the last paragraph? A. Reasonable. B. Accurate. C. Random. D. Pleasing. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. The Science of Different Personalities B. The Truth Behind Hemispheric Dominance C.

This would be my first half-marathon. As demanding as running 13.1 miles seemed, I was going to do it. I signed up for a training group online, a group of strangers with whom I would spend a few months virtually preparing for the race, and then I was directed to sign up for the actual race. I imagined a course somewhere in sunny Florida or California. My jaw dropped when the race website opened, and I was greeted with the words “Zion at night, half-marathon in the darkness.” In mountainous Zion in the dark? No. Was it too late to quit? But I’d signed up for a coaching group that was meant to “motivate me through running”. I looked through photos of the race. My heart sank. Runners kitted out with headlamps and rocks on trails (小径) filled the computer screen. I cannot do this, I thought. I don’t run on trails or up hills; I’m also afraid of darkness and heights. A text came through. It was Nicole, our training group’s fearless leader, who has run hundred-mile marathons. “Sign up for the 4 am start time,” she wrote. As I filled in my name and address, I tried to figure out how likely I was to get injured during training. Realistically, that was my best way to get out of this race. I filled out the form and started worrying. At our first online meeting, four other teammates turned up. Nicole told us how beautiful the course was and discussed running toward the cliffs (悬崖) as the sun rose. And I nodded along, smiling, wondering how I could possibly overcome my fear of flying to get to another state to join the marathon and of trails, animals and the dark to run this race. Anyhow, I made a training plan for my run with Nicole’s help and encouragement. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 The week before the race, I was more anxious. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I walked to the start line with my teammates on the morning of the race. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1—5 ABCBB 6—10 CACCA 11—15 BACBB 16—20 CACAB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
