Here are some steps to follow when preparing for the perfect video interview. Step 1: Start with the basics Before your interview, find out what platform or application the school uses for video interviews, and make sure that you know how to operate it. You need to set up a clear and focused interview environment. You also need a strong internet connection. Step 2: Get prepped (做好准备) Once the interview begins, resist the urge to watch yourself, and make sure you are looking at the camera as much as possible. Try to anticipate the questions that they will ask you. Interview questions all boil down to three basic categories: Tell us about yourself. What do you bring to our program/why should we admit you? Do you have any questions about the school? Before the interview, prepare at least two to three minutes on each of these topics. Step 3: Practice Practice your answers with a friend or mentor. Get them to ask you questions and answer them over video. If possible, work with a person who is fluent in the language of your interviewers, and get them to give you notes and comments about pronunciation or presentation. Step 4: Don’t just interview... converse Interviews are about getting to know you as a person and how well you can interact with others. Though you may have extensive notes, try to act natural - do not read directly from any prepared statements, and don’t memorize answers to repeat. Listening is just as critical as speaking in this situation, too. Make sure you understand the question that is posed to you and ask an interviewer to repeat it or expand upon it if you feel you are confused. 36. In preparing for the perfect video interview, you need to ________. A. have quick access to the Internet B. know how to operate the interview C. fill out an application on the platform D. find a suitable environment for the interview 37. Once the interview begins, what should you keep in mind? A. Keeping quiet unless asked to talk. B. Making eye contact as much as possible. C. Expecting the questions that are often asked. D. Preparing answers on some of the questions. 38. Which of the following is TRUE about Step 3? A. You should be fluent in the language of your interviewers. B. Practicing with your friend over the phone may be helpful. C. Practicing in advance may help improve your performance. D. Notes and comments from the interviewers are practical. 39. When doing an interview, you ________. A. are supposed to memorize answers to repeat B. must ask the interviewers to explain the questions C. can read prepared statements as naturally as you can D. should attach equal importance to listening as speaking 40. Who is probably the author of the passage? A. An expert in university admissions. B. A visitor to different universities abroad. C. An editor in charge of a travel magazine. D. A student applying for universities overseas. B When Milla Bizzot to finished her first 24-hour obstacle race, she went shoulder to shoulder with experienced competitors, ran 36 miles and completed hundreds of obstacles, all at the age of 9.“There are some double takes on the course, but she has been an inspiration to people who see her out there competing like that,” said Christian Bizzotto, Milla’s father and coach, who was proud of her. Milla is very fit for her age, and she proved it in completing the BattleFrog Xtreme 24-hour race in Miami. Milla also used the event to inspire other kids to be active, and show how competing in obstacle racing has helped her deal with being bullied at school. “We wanted to make her feel more empowered and make her feel that she wasn’t weak, and that changed her whole mindset,” her father said. In preparing for the 24-hour race, Milla trained 20 hours a week for 90 days, doing exercise in the gym for 4 hours every day after school. “The reactions are 90 percent good, but some are totally negative,” Christian said. “I’ve had people message me on Facebook saying I’m a child abuser, and that no 9-year-old should be doing a 24-hour race. But her own doctors were there supporting her and cheering her on. I want her to be a kid, and this is just something she really wants to do.” CrossFit and obstacle course racing have also helped Christian turn around his life. He got injured in a motorcycle accident. After he was finally able to get around without using a walker, he began his recovery by going for walks on the beach with Milla, and then began running every day. Next, he joined a CrossFit gym and enjoyed it so much that he opened his own gym to train others for events like CrossFit, BattleFrog and Spartan races. “I just wanted to create a hero that Milla could look up to,” he said. Next up for Milla is an invitation-only “Athletes Race”. Competitors also have to raise $5,000 for charity. 41. Christian Bizzotto, Milla’s father and coach, ______. A. was very strict with Milla B. was satisfied with what Milla did C. lost his legs in a motorcycle accident D. threw his walker with the help of CrossFit 42. What can we learn about Milla? A. She was always bullied by her schoolmates. B. She began to run because she was physically weak. C. Her father wanted her to get benefit from the obstacle race. D. She became more confident after the 24-hour obstacle race. 43. During her training for the 24-hour obstacle race, Milla most probably _________. A. had two days’ rest every week B. was always running with her father C. spent over 4 hours every day of a week D. took a hit because her father was injured 44. The reactions Christian got on the Internet ______. A. told us that Milla had a hard childhood B. showed that he was a real abuser C. encouraged Milla to challenge more difficult runs D. were mixed but what Milla did was supported by her doctors 45. What Christian did after his injury was mainly to ______. A make money to open a gym B. set a good example to Milla C. make money to raise his family D. get recovered as soon as possible C A new study has revealed that a prehistoric sea cow was the target of two different predators (捕食动物) — an ancient crocodile and a tiger shark, providing rare insights into the complex food chains from millions of years ago. The research, conducted by an international team of scientists and published in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, uncovers one of the few known instances where a single prey (猎物) was attacked by many predators. The sea cow, belonging to the extinct group Culebratherium, was first attacked by a crocodile. Evidence then shows that after the initial attack, the sea cow’s remains were searched by a tiger shark, a tooth of which was found near the unlucky animal’s neck. “Have you seen the Batman movie? There is a scene where he and Alfred are shooting bullets to try and figure out which specific type of bullet they are trying to find,” said Benites-Palomino, lead author of the research. “Our research was conducted in exactly the same way. We have these experiments in the wild where predators are attacking their prey, and then afterwards we try to compare which is the best scene for what we’re finding there.” The find is particularly significant as it adds to the limited fossil record of multiple predators interacting with a single prey. Such interactions are common in today’s ecosystems, but are rarely documented in the fossil record, making this discovery an important piece of the puzzle in understanding ancient food webs. “We have been unsure as to which animals would have served this purpose as a food source for multiple predators. Our previous research has identified sperm whales searched by several shark species, and this new research highlights the importance of sea cows within the food chain,” Benites-Palomino said in a statement. The digging, directed by Marcelo Sanchez-Villagra, head of the Palaeontological Institute and Museum in Zurich, Switzerland, was both challenging and rewarding. The site was initially discovered by a local farmer who spotted unusual rocks, inspiring the team to investigate further and eventually unearth the sea cow fossils. 46. What do we know about the prehistoric sea cow? A. It reached the top of food chains. B. It is thought to have complex teeth. C. It belongs to an endangered species. D. It was attacked by two different animals. 47. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The scene of animal fights. B. The method of the research. C. The introduction of a movie. D. The danger of the experiments. 48. What does the importance of the study lie in? A. Challenging the current ecosystems. B. Offering insights into ancient food webs. C. Clarifying the misunderstanding of sea cows. D. Figuring out the link between man and nature. 49. What is the Marcelo’s attitude to this digging? A. Meaningful B. Indifferent C. Critical D. Objective 50. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. The Batman Movie Inspired a Research B. A Puzzle in Complex Ancient Food Chains C. Shark and Crocodile Ate Unlucky Sea Cow D. An Important Biological Discovery of a Farmer D If you live on this planet, there’s a decent chance you’ve seen the classic Star TrekEpisode, in which captain Kirk and several members find themselves in what appears to be another universe. These days, it seems the idea of the multiverse— many worlds— is having its Hollywood moment. Its appeal as a storytelling device is obvious— characters explore a multi-world with varying degrees of similarity to our own, as well as different versions of themselves. Hence, it has been fully established in mainstream pop culture. While Hollywood can’t seem to get enough of the multiverse, it remains deeply controversial (有争议的)among scientists. Advocates on the two sides show no mercy toward each other in their books, on their blogs. But physicists didn’t pull the idea out of thin air — rather, several distinct lines of reasoning seem to point to the multiverse’s existence. However, critics warn that making the multiverse legal could make it harder for the public to distinguish speculative (推测性的)theories from established fact, making it more difficult to keep pseudo-science (伪科学)at bay. Giving credit to such speculation risks “turning fundamental physics into pseudo-science”. The multiverse controversy is rooted in the idea of test ability. If we can’t interact with these other universes, or detect them in any way, some experts insist that reduces them to mere philosophical speculation. But Carroll, an advocate for “many worlds”, argues that mathematics is the language describing our physical theories. Since Schrdinger’s equation (方程), on which Quanturr (量子)mechanic rests, predicts the existence of many worlds, so be it. Could a more expansive view of the universe itself be the next breakthrough? As Siegfried puts it: “Every time in the past that we’ve thought, ‘We’ve got it; this is what the whole universe is’— the people who’ve said, ‘Maybe there’s more than one of those’ have always turned out to be right.” 51. Why is Hollywood so occupied with the multiverse? A. It makes for engaging plots. B. It is a much-talked-about topic. C. It is helpful to popularize science. D. It dominates the mainstream pop culture. 52. What do the underlined words in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Out of date. B. Out of place. C. Out of nowhere. D. Out of question. 53. What may be the bad effect of making the multiverse legal? A. It may be harder to tell speculative theories from established fact. B. The speculative theories will turn physics into pseudo-science. C. It won’t be more difficult to hold the pseudo-science back. D. People will risk turning physics into pseudo-science. 54. According to Carroll, the existence of many worlds ________. A. can be detected somehow. B. can be reasoned logically and emotionally. C. can be interpreted philosophically. D. can be predicted by mathematics equation. 55. What might be the author’s attitude toward the multiverse? A. Doubtful. B. Dismissive. C. Unclear. D. Approving. 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题 共35分） 第四部分：写作（共两节）（满分35分） 第一节：阅读表达（每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读表达 Years of expecting this time has finally arrived; there were times when I thought we would never get here.

Milla is very fit for her age, and she proved it in completing the BattleFrog Xtreme 24-hour race in Miami. Milla also used the event to inspire other kids to be active, and show how competing in obstacle racing has helped her deal with being bullied at school. “We wanted to make her feel more empowered and make her feel that she wasn’t weak, and that changed her whole mindset,” her father said. In preparing for the 24-hour race, Milla trained 20 hours a week for 90 days, doing exercise in the gym for 4 hours every day after school. “The reactions are 90 percent good, but some are totally negative,” Christian said. “I’ve had people message me on Facebook saying I’m a child abuser, and that no 9-year-old should be doing a 24-hour race. But her own doctors were there supporting her and cheering her on. I want her to be a kid, and this is just something she really wants to do.” CrossFit and obstacle course racing have also helped Christian turn around his life. He got injured in a motorcycle accident. After he was finally able to get around without using a walker, he began his recovery by going for walks on the beach with Milla, and then began running every day. Next, he joined a CrossFit gym and enjoyed it so much that he opened his own gym to train others for events like CrossFit, BattleFrog and Spartan races. “I just wanted to create a hero that Milla could look up to,” he said. Next up for Milla is an invitation-only “Athletes Race”. Competitors also have to raise $5,000 for charity. 41. Christian Bizzotto, Milla’s father and coach, ______.

The research, conducted by an international team of scientists and published in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, uncovers one of the few known instances where a single prey (猎物) was attacked by many predators. The sea cow, belonging to the extinct group Culebratherium, was first attacked by a crocodile. Evidence then shows that after the initial attack, the sea cow’s remains were searched by a tiger shark, a tooth of which was found near the unlucky animal’s neck. “Have you seen the Batman movie? There is a scene where he and Alfred are shooting bullets to try and figure out which specific type of bullet they are trying to find,” said Benites-Palomino, lead author of the research. “Our research was conducted in exactly the same way. We have these experiments in the wild where predators are attacking their prey, and then afterwards we try to compare which is the best scene for what we’re finding there.” The find is particularly significant as it adds to the limited fossil record of multiple predators interacting with a single prey. Such interactions are common in today’s ecosystems, but are rarely documented in the fossil record, making this discovery an important piece of the puzzle in understanding ancient food webs. “We have been unsure as to which animals would have served this purpose as a food source for multiple predators. Our previous research has identified sperm whales searched by several shark species, and this new research highlights the importance of sea cows within the food chain,” Benites-Palomino said in a statement. The digging, directed by Marcelo Sanchez-Villagra, head of the Palaeontological Institute and Museum in Zurich, Switzerland, was both challenging and rewarding. The site was initially discovered by a local farmer who spotted unusual rocks, inspiring the team to investigate further and eventually unearth the sea cow fossils. 46. What do we know about the prehistoric sea cow? A. It reached the top of food chains. B. It is thought to have complex teeth. C. It belongs to an endangered species. D. It was attacked by two different animals. 47. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The scene of animal fights. B. The method of the research. C. The introduction of a movie. D. The danger of the experiments. 48. What does the importance of the study lie in? A. Challenging the current ecosystems. B. Offering insights into ancient food webs. C. Clarifying the misunderstanding of sea cows. D. Figuring out the link between man and nature. 49. What is the Marcelo’s attitude to this digging? A. Meaningful B. Indifferent C. Critical D. Objective 50. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. The Batman Movie Inspired a Research B. A Puzzle in Complex Ancient Food Chains C. Shark and Crocodile Ate Unlucky Sea Cow D. An Important Biological Discovery of a Farmer 【答案】46. D 47. B 48. B 49. A 50. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要讨论了一项关于史前海牛的研究，这种海牛被两种不同的捕食者捕食，提供了对数百万年前复杂食物链的罕见见解。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“A new study has revealed that a prehistoric sea cow was the target of two different predators (捕食动物) — an ancient crocodile and a tiger shark, providing rare insights into the complex food chains from millions of years ago.(一项新的研究表明，史前海牛是两种不同捕食者的目标——一种古代鳄鱼和一种虎鲨，这为数百万年前复杂的食物链提供了难得的见解)”可知，史前海牛被两种不同的动物攻击。故选D。 【47题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段““Have you seen the Batman movie? There is a scene where he and Alfred are shooting bullets to try and figure out which specific type of bullet they are trying to find,” said Benites-Palomino, lead author of the research. “Our research was conducted in exactly the same way. We have these experiments in the wild where predators are attacking their prey, and then afterwards we try to compare which is the best scene for what we’re finding there.”(“你看过蝙蝠侠电影吗？有一个场景，他和阿尔弗雷德正在射击子弹，试图找出他们试图找到特定类型的子弹，”该研究的主要作者贝尼特斯-帕洛米诺说。“我们的研究是以完全相同的方式进行的。我们在捕食者攻击猎物的野外进行了这些实验，然后我们试图比较哪种场景最适合我们在那里发现的东西。”)”可知，第三段主要讲了研究的方法。故选B。 【48题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The find is particularly significant as it adds to the limited fossil record of multiple predators interacting with a single prey. Such interactions are common in today’s ecosystems, but are rarely documented in the fossil record, making this discovery an important piece of the puzzle in understanding ancient food webs.(这一发现意义重大，因为它增加了有限的多种捕食者与单一猎物相互作用的化石记录。这种相互作用在今天的生态系统中很常见，但很少有化石记录，这使得这一发现成为理解古代食物网的重要拼图)”可知，这项研究的重要性在于提供对古代食物网的见解。故选B。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Our previous research has identified sperm whales searched by several shark species, and this new research highlights the importance of sea cows within the food chain(我们之前的研究已经确定了抹香鲸被几种鲨鱼捕食，而这项新研究强调了海牛在食物链中的重要性)”以及最后一段“The digging, directed by Marcelo Sanchez-Villagra, head of the Palaeontological Institute and Museum in Zurich, Switzerland, was both challenging and rewarding.(挖掘工作由瑞士苏黎世古生物研究所和博物馆的负责人马塞洛·桑切斯-比利亚格拉指导，既具有挑战性，又有回报)”可知，他认为挖掘是有意义的。故选A。 【50题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“A new study has revealed that a prehistoric sea cow was the target of two different predators (捕食动物) — an ancient crocodile and a tiger shark, providing rare insights into the complex food chains from millions of years ago.(一项新的研究表明，史前海牛是两种不同捕食者的目标——一种古代鳄鱼和一种虎鲨，这为数百万年前复杂的食物链提供了难得的见解)”结合本文主要讨论了一项关于史前海牛的研究，这种海牛被两种不同的捕食者捕食，提供了对数百万年前复杂食物链的罕见见解。故C选项“鲨鱼和鳄鱼吃了倒霉的海牛”符合文章标题。故选C。 D If you live on this planet, there’s a decent chance you’ve seen the classic Star TrekEpisode, in which captain Kirk and several members find themselves in what appears to be another universe. These days, it seems the idea of the multiverse— many worlds— is having its Hollywood moment. Its appeal as a storytelling device is obvious— characters explore a multi-world with varying degrees of similarity to our own, as well as different versions of themselves. Hence, it has been fully established in mainstream pop culture. While Hollywood can’t seem to get enough of the multiverse, it remains deeply controversial (有争议的)among scientists. Advocates on the two sides show no mercy toward each other in their books, on their blogs. But physicists didn’t pull the idea out of thin air — rather, several distinct lines of reasoning seem to point to the multiverse’s existence. However, critics warn that making the multiverse legal could make it harder for the public to distinguish speculative (推测性的)theories from established fact, making it more difficult to keep pseudo-science (伪科学)at bay. Giving credit to such speculation risks “turning fundamental physics into pseudo-science”. The multiverse controversy is rooted in the idea of test ability. If we can’t interact with these other universes, or detect them in any way, some experts insist that reduces them to mere philosophical speculation. But Carroll, an advocate for “many worlds”, argues that mathematics is the language describing our physical theories. Since Schrdinger’s equation (方程), on which Quanturr (量子)mechanic rests, predicts the existence of many worlds, so be it. Could a more expansive view of the universe itself be the next breakthrough? As Siegfried puts it: “Every time in the past that we’ve thought, ‘We’ve got it; this is what the whole universe is’— the people who’ve said, ‘Maybe there’s more than one of those’ have always turned out to be right.” 51. Why is Hollywood so occupied with the multiverse? A. It makes for engaging plots. B. It is a much-talked-about topic. C. It is helpful to popularize science. D. It dominates the mainstream pop culture. 52. What do the underlined words in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Out of date. B. Out of place. C. Out of nowhere. D. Out of question. 53. What may be the bad effect of making the multiverse legal? A. It may be harder to tell speculative theories from established fact. B. The speculative theories will turn physics into pseudo-science. C. It won’t be more difficult to hold the pseudo-science back. D. People will risk turning physics into pseudo-science. 54. According to Carroll, the existence of many worlds ________. A. can be detected somehow. B. can be reasoned logically and emotionally. C. can be interpreted philosophically. D. can be predicted by mathematics equation. 55. What might be the author’s attitude toward the multiverse? A. Doubtful. B. Dismissive. C. Unclear. D. Approving. 【答案】51. A 52. C 53. A 54. D 55. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要讲述了虽然近来好莱坞似乎对多元宇宙欲罢不能，但它在科学家中仍然存在着深刻的争议。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Its appeal as a storytelling device is obvious—characters explore a multi-world with varying degrees of similarity to our own, as well as different versions of themselves.(作为一种讲故事的手段，它的吸引力显而易见——角色探索了一个与我们自己不同程度相似的多元世界，以及不同版本的自己。)”可知，多元宇宙作为一种讲故事的手段，非常具有吸引力，即它创造了引人入胜的情节。故选A。 【52题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线短语后面的“rather, several distinct lines of reasoning seem to point to the multiverse’s existence(相反，几个不同的推理路线似乎指向了多元宇宙的存在)”可知，rather前后表示转折，后面说有推理路线证明多元宇宙是存在的，由此可推测出，前面说的是物理学家们并不是凭空得出了这个想法。out of thin air意为“凭空，无中生有地”，和out of nowhere(莫名其妙的出现)意思相近。故选C。 【53题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“making the multiverse legal could make it harder for the public to distinguish speculative (推测性的) theories from established fact(使多元宇宙合法化可能会使公众更难区分推测性理论和既定事实)”可知，坏的影响是可能会让区分推测性理论和既定事实变得更困难。故选A。 【54题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“But Carroll, an advocate for “many worlds”, argues that mathematics is the language describing our physical theories. Since Schrdinger’s equation (方程), on which Quanturr (量子)mechanic rests, predicts the existence of many worlds, so be it.(但卡罗尔，一位“多世界”的倡导者，认为数学是描述我们物理理论的语言。由于量子力学所依据的薛定谔方程预测了许多世界的存在，所以就这样吧)”可知， Carroll认为多世界的存在可通过数学方程预测。故选D。 【55题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Since Schrdinger’s equation (方程), on which Quanturr (量子) mechanic rests, predicts the existence of many worlds, so be it.(既然量子力学所依据的薛定谔方程预测了许多世界的存在，那就顺其自然吧。)”和最后一段中的“Could a more expansive view of the universe itself be the next breakthrough? As Siegfried puts it: “Every time in the past that we’ve thought, ‘We’ve got it; this is what the whole universe is’ — the people who’ve said, ‘Maybe there’s more than one of those’ have always turned out to be right.”(正如齐格弗里德所说：“在过去，每当我们想，‘我们明白了；这就是整个宇宙的样子’——那些说‘也许不止一个’的人总是被证明是对的。”)”可知，作者认为既然有理论预测了许多世界的存在，那就顺其自然吧，那些说“也许不止一个”的人总是被证明是对的；由此推知，作者对多元宇宙的概念持支持态度。故选D。 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题 共35分） 第四部分：写作（共两节）（满分35分） 第一节：阅读表达（每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读表达 Years of expecting this time has finally arrived; there were times when I thought we would never get here. We are having three graduations in one family. My daughter is graduating from 4-year College in nursing, and my son is graduating from a high school, and I also just graduated last week. The dream was planted many years ago. I had always dreamt of going back to school, but it was too worrying and too hard. Three years ago, I lost one of my dear friends. She died suddenly someday. All those thoughts of “someday” seemed to take on different meanings. So, I decided to take a course, then I took two. I finally took 4 courses. When I was in the second week of school, my family was in a terrible car accident. My husband, my two children and I were on our way to visit my another daughter at work in another city for her twenty-third birthday, and we were hit by a truck a half mile from our house. My husband was seriously hurt, and I was told by doctors many times it was a miracle (奇迹) that he had survived a serious head injury. The three of us were barely passing after that time period. I had a broken arm and could not write. However, none of us had cold feet. As one of the top ten students in the college, my daughter graduated from college and got her Bachelor’s Degree. My son was admitted to a famous university after his graduation. I am proud of them. As my password, I called myself “mountain climber. ” The journey was difficult and every hill seemed higher to climb. Last week, the highlight of my life was walking across that platform and getting my degree six months before I turn fifty I am proud of myself, too. 56. What was the author’s dream? (no more than 8 words) ___________________________________________________________________________ 57. What does the miracle refer to? (no more than 8 words) ___________________________________________________________________________ 58. How do you understand the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3? (no more than 6 words) ___________________________________________________________________________ 59. Why is the author proud of herself? (no more than 13 words) ___________________________________________________________________________ 60. Do you agree with the author’s view on life? Give reasons in your own words. (no more than 20 words) ___________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】56. She dreamt of going back to school. 57. Her/The author’s husband’s surviving the serious head injury. 58. But none of us gave up. 59. Because she got the degree even she was going to be fifty. Or: Because she realized her dream even she was going to be fifty. 60. （答案不唯一）Yes. One should always stick to/ struggle for his dreams and never give them up no matter how difficult they are. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一位高龄母亲经历各种不幸，永不放弃，不但培养出优秀的孩子，而且最终实现自己大学梦想的故事。 【56题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章第一段“I had always dreamt of going back to school, but it was too worrying and too hard. (我一直梦想着能重返校园，但这既令人担忧又十分艰难。)”可知，她的梦想是重返学校。故答案是：She dreamt of going back to school.。 【57题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章第二段“My husband was seriously hurt, and I was told by doctors many times it was a miracle (奇迹) that he had survived a serious head injury. (我的丈夫受了重伤，医生多次告诉我，他能从严重的头部伤势中幸存下来，简直是个奇迹。)”可知，奇迹指的是她丈夫从严重的头部伤势中幸存了下来。故答案是：Her/The author’s husband’s surviving the serious head injury.。 【58题详解】 考查词句猜测。根据上文“The three of us were barely passing after that time period. I had a broken arm and could not write. (在那段时间之后，我们三个都只是勉强过关。我的胳膊摔断了，不能写字。)”和下文“As one of the top ten students in the college, my daughter graduated from college and got her Bachelor’s Degree. My son was admitted to a famous university after his graduation. I am proud of them. (我女儿是大学里成绩排名前十的学生之一，她大学毕业了，获得了学士学位。我儿子毕业后也被一所著名大学录取了。我为他们感到骄傲。)”可知，作者一家虽然都受了伤，但他们没有放弃，继续前行。因此，划线处可以理解为“但我们没放弃”。故答案是：But none of us gave up.。 59题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章最后一段“Last week, the highlight of my life was walking across that platform and getting my degree six months before I turn fifty I am proud of myself, too. (上周，我人生的高光时刻是穿过那个平台，在我年满五十岁之前六个月拿到了学位。我也为自己感到骄傲。)”可知，作者在自己快五十岁的时候拿到了学位，这是她人生的高光时刻，因此她为自己感到骄傲。故答案是：Because she got the degree even she was going to be fifty. Or: Because she realized her dream even she was going to be fifty.。 【60题详解】 考查开放性试题。可供参考的答案是：是的。一个人应该始终坚持/努力追求自己的梦想，无论多么困难，都绝不放弃。故答案是：（答案不唯一）Yes. One should always stick to/ struggle for his dreams and never give them up no matter how difficult they are.。 第二节：书面表达（25分）（卷面分3分） 61. 假设你是天津某国际学校高三学生李津，你校拟在教室门口安装一款多功能智慧屏，现向学生们征集建议。请你给学校负责人Mr. Hall 写一封英文邮件，内容包括： 1. 建议开发的功能（如展示学生校园生活等） 2. 说明理由 3. 表达祝愿 注意： （1）词数不少于120； （2）可适当加入细节，使内容充实、行文连贯。 Dear Mr. Hall, _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Jin. 【答案】Dear Mr. Hall, I’m Li Hua from Class 3, Grade 3.
