B I was the only kid in college with a reason to go to the mail box, because my mother never believed in email, or cell phones in general. I was literally waiting to get a letter to see how the weekend had gone, which was usually the warmest comfort for me. So when I moved to New York and got sucker-punched in the face by depression, I did the only thing I could think of — writing letters like my mother for strangers. I blogged about those letters and crazily promised I would write a hand-written letter to whoever asked me to. Overnight, my inbox became this harbor of heartbreak-a single mother in Sacramento, a girl being bullied (恐吓) in rural Kansas. . , all asking me to write them a letter and give them a reason to wait by the mailbox. And this is how the act The World Needs More Love Letters was born, fueled by those trips to the mailbox. But the thing about these letters is that most of them have been written by people, who have grown up into a paperless world where some best conversations happen swiftly on a screen. I’ve been carrying this mail crate (大木箱) with me these days, which is a magical icebreaker. So I get to tell total strangers about a woman whose husband was traumatized (受精神创伤) from war in Afghanistan, and how she left love letters throughout the house as a way to say, “Come back to me. ” And the man, who had decided to take his life, tonight slept safely with letters just beneath his pillow, handwritten by strangers who were there for him. These are the kinds of stories that convince me that letter-writing will always be needed, even in these days, because it is an art now, all of it: the signing, the scripting, and the mailing. 4. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. The author didn’t believe in e-mail. B. Mom had been cheated by letters from strangers. C. Communicating by e-mail was Mom’s favorite. D. The author was attached to receiving letters from Mom. 5. What inspired the author to launch the act? A. The letters’ comforting effect on people. B. Her intention of providing professional aid. C. The positive influence of modern technology. D. Her mother’s fear of modern communication. 6. Why does the author call the mail crate “a magical icebreaker”? A. It melts ice easily on a cold day. B. It serves as a tool for magic tricks. C. It encourages people to recover from traumas. D. It helps to start a conversation with passers-by. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Passion for Writing. B. Priceless Family Letters. C. Love Letters to Strangers. D. The Art of Writing Letters. C Full stops (句号) frighten young people when used in social media communication as they are seen as a sign of anger, according to language experts. Teenagers and those in their early twenties, known as Generation Z, have grown up with smartphones which they use to send short messages without full stops. According to experts, youngsters would break up their thoughts by sending each one as a separate (单独的) message, rather than use a full stop, which they use only to show they are annoyed. Some have said the full stop is not necessary when used in texting because the message is ended just by sending it. “If you send a text message without a full stop, it’s already obvious that you’ve ended the message,” said language expert Dr Lauren Fonteyn. “So if you add that additional marker for completion, they will read something into it and it is possible to be a negative tone (语气).” However Owen McArdle, a leading language expert, said, “I’m not sure whether I agree about emails without full stops. I guess it depends on how formal they are and what kind of messages are expressed.” The possible change in the meaning of the full stop, connected with online communication, has been debated by language experts for years. In 2015, a study from Binghamton University in New York, which surveyed 126 university students, suggested that people who finish messages with full stops are viewed as insincere. “Looking at any instant messaging exchange online, you will find young people simply do not put full stops in, unless they want to make a point,” said Dr Lauren Fonteyn. “The full stop has become an ‘emotion marker’ which tells the recipient (收件人) that the person who sends the message is annoyed.” 8. What do we know about teenagers from the text? A. They are used to using full stops to end sentences. B. They use full stops in social media to frighten people. C. They don’t use full stops when sending messages. D. They have trouble reading text messages without full stops. 9. What do people think of the full stop according to paragraph 3? A. They think the full stop is interesting. B. They think the full stop is unnecessary. C. They think the full stop is important. D. They think the full stop is unacceptable. 10. Which of the following agrees with Owen McArdle’s opinion? A. Context is the key and full stops are still important in emails. B. Full stops should be used after every word of the text messages. C. The meaning of text messages will be influenced without full stops. D. People might be annoyed when receiving text messages with full stops. 11. What does a text message with full stops suggest according to many young people? A. The sender is sincere. B. The sender is angry. C. The recipient is less sincere. D. The recipient is annoyed. D A new trend called “praise groups” or “in-need-of-praise” chat groups has become popular on Chinese social media. In Chinese culture, where modesty (谦逊) is valued, openly seeking and giving praise is uncommon. These chat groups provide a platform for people to receive compliments (赞扬) and encouragement, which are often lacking in their daily lives. To join a praise group, users can pay a fee on e-commerce sites, starting at 50 yuan for five minutes of compliments. The group members will then show the person with praises and kind words. The compliments can be designed for a friend or loved one as well. Participants have found that being praised by strangers can help lift their spirits and improve their self-confidence. For example, Meng Zha, a student at Shanghai’s Tongji University, tried the service and found it interesting and encouraging. She received compliments on her appearance and even quotes (引用) from popular songs. Ms Meng couldn’t help but laugh at the compliments and expressed her wish to post such high-quality praises in the future. Praise groups have appeared as a way for people in China to look for and receive compliments and encouragement that may be lacking in their daily lives. It provides a positive and uplifting experience for participants, improving a sense of happiness and self-worth. Those who support the groups, see them as an antidote to extremely bad moods (情绪) which are often connected with things happening on the Internet. “At first, the purpose of this group is to make us learn to praise others and accept others’ praises confidently. Here we can drop everything, and use our heart to praise and support others,” one member said. But the life journey is long and there are some unexpected situations that we can only depend on ourselves to face when there is no one out there to offer help. 12. What is the purpose of praise groups? A. To make praise popular. B. To have everyone supported. C. To share common interests. D. To give people hope and happiness. 13. What can we learn about Meng Zha in paragraph 3? A She was not strong enough. B. She was under working stress. C. She was satisfied with the service. D. She was a gifted singer in her area. 14. What does the underlined word “antidote” mean in the last paragraph? A. A kind of medicine. B. A way of making new friends. C. A method of being confident. D. The wisdom of solving problems. 15. What is the author’s attitude to praise groups? A. Worried. B. Objective. C. Supportive. D. Confused. 第二节 七选五(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。 How to Stop Being a People Pleaser As a recovering people pleaser, I spent much of my life keeping others happy.

Our preferred park is a 2km walk from my house and it has a 1km walking track. I could not drive him there every day as I had to leave for the office while at the same time he wanted to set out. Since there were hardly any footpaths in Karachi, my father said he was delighted to walk on the road as he was certain there wouldn’t be much traffic in the morning. Though I kept him informed that our house was near the park and was made of red bricks in case he got lost, I was still less confident so I suggested it would be safer if changed his walk time to the evening. That way I could take him to the park after work. However, my father — a determined person — said that he could not change his routine for just a few days and insisted that he would be leaving the house every day at 7 am and returning by 8 am. So one day when he had not returned by 8:30 am, my wife, Qaisa phoned me in a panic Worried, I immediately drove home, taking the same route that my father would have taken for his walk. Not spotting him anywhere, I drove back to the park, in the hone of discovering some trace, but in vain.

I start work at 7:30 and I mustn’t be late, but I haven’t got transport. I 'm happy to share the cost of petrol.(我需要搭车。我7:30开始工作，我不能迟到，但是我没有交通工具。)” 可知，埃琳娜会在学生空间发帖是想找人让她搭便车。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据2.Contacts中“I want to go to Australia in the summer and work there, then visit some other countries. (我想在夏天去澳大利亚，在那里工作，然后参观一些其他国家。)” 可知，如果你想和一个新朋友出国旅游，你应该发电子邮件给AdrianAB@nunet.com。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据3.Accommodation中的“I’m a first-year art student and want to share a flat or house in the city center.

I was literally waiting to get a letter to see how the weekend had gone, which was usually the warmest comfort for me. So when I moved to New York and got sucker-punched in the face by depression, I did the only thing I could think of — writing letters like my mother for strangers.

Overnight, my inbox became this harbor of heartbreak-a single mother in Sacramento, a girl being bullied (恐吓) in rural Kansas. . , all asking me to write them a letter and give them a reason to wait by the mailbox. And this is how the act The World Needs More Love Letters was born, fueled by those trips to the mailbox. But the thing about these letters is that most of them have been written by people, who have grown up into a paperless world where some best conversations happen swiftly on a screen. I’ve been carrying this mail crate (大木箱) with me these days, which is a magical icebreaker. So I get to tell total strangers about a woman whose husband was traumatized (受精神创伤) from war in Afghanistan, and how she left love letters throughout the house as a way to say, “Come back to me. ” And the man, who had decided to take his life, tonight slept safely with letters just beneath his pillow, handwritten by strangers who were there for him. These are the kinds of stories that convince me that letter-writing will always be needed, even in these days, because it is an art now, all of it: the signing, the scripting, and the mailing. 4.

Teenagers and those in their early twenties, known as Generation Z, have grown up with smartphones which they use to send short messages without full stops. According to experts, youngsters would break up their thoughts by sending each one as a separate (单独的) message, rather than use a full stop, which they use only to show they are annoyed. Some have said the full stop is not necessary when used in texting because the message is ended just by sending it. “If you send a text message without a full stop, it’s already obvious that you’ve ended the message,” said language expert Dr Lauren Fonteyn. “So if you add that additional marker for completion, they will read something into it and it is possible to be a negative tone (语气).” However, Owen McArdle, a leading language expert, said, “I’m not sure whether I agree about emails without full stops. I guess it depends on how formal they are and what kind of messages are expressed.” The possible change in the meaning of the full stop, connected with online communication, has been debated by language experts for years. In 2015, a study from Binghamton University in New York, which surveyed 126 university students, suggested that people who finish messages with full stops are viewed as insincere. “Looking at any instant messaging exchange online, you will find young people simply do not put full stops in, unless they want to make a point,” said Dr Lauren Fonteyn. “The full stop has become an ‘emotion marker’ which tells the recipient (收件人) that the person who sends the message is annoyed.” 8. What do we know about teenagers from the text? A. They are used to using full stops to end sentences. B. They use full stops in social media to frighten people. C. They don’t use full stops when sending messages. D. They have trouble reading text messages without full stops. 9. What do people think of the full stop according to paragraph 3? A. They think the full stop is interesting. B. They think the full stop is unnecessary. C. They think the full stop is important. D. They think the full stop is unacceptable. 10. Which of the following agrees with Owen McArdle’s opinion? A. Context is the key and full stops are still important in emails. B. Full stops should be used after every word of the text messages. C. The meaning of text messages will be influenced without full stops. D. People might be annoyed when receiving text messages with full stops. 11. What does a text message with full stops suggest according to many young people? A. The sender is sincere. B. The sender is angry. C. The recipient is less sincere. D. The recipient is annoyed. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。一些语言学家表示，用句号来结束一句话，会让拿着手机长大的年轻一代感到恐慌，因为这个标点符号对于他们而言，不再意味着句子的结束，而是意味着发送人语气生硬或情绪愤怒。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Teenagers and those in their early twenties, known as Generation Z, have grown up with smartphones which they use to send short messages without full stops. (青少年和20岁出头的人，被称为“Z世代”，在智能手机的陪伴下长大，他们用智能手机发送没有句号的短信。)”可知，青少年发送短信时往往不使用句号。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Some have said the full stop is not necessary when used in texting because the message is ended just by sending it. (有些人说发短信时不需要用句号，因为发完短信就结束了。)”可知，在有些人看来，发短信时用句号是“不必要的”。故选B。 10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“However, Owen McArdle, a leading language expert, said, “I’m not sure whether I agree about emails without full stops. I guess it depends on how formal they are and what kind of messages are expressed.” (然而，著名语言专家欧文·麦卡德尔表示：“我不确定我是否同意不使用句号的电子邮件。我想这取决于它们有多正式，表达了什么样的信息。”)”可知，在Owen McArdle看来，电子邮件的内容是关键，有些电子邮件还是需要用句号的。故选A。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The full stop has become an ‘emotion marker’ which tells the recipient (收件人) that the person who sends the message is annoyed. (句号已经成为一种“情绪标记”，它告诉收信人发送信息的人很生气。)”可知，在很多年轻人看来，带句号的短信意味着发件人很生气。故选B。 D A new trend called “praise groups” or “in-need-of-praise” chat groups has become popular on Chinese social media. In Chinese culture, where modesty (谦逊) is valued, openly seeking and giving praise is uncommon. These chat groups provide a platform for people to receive compliments (赞扬) and encouragement, which are often lacking in their daily lives. To join a praise group, users can pay a fee on e-commerce sites, starting at 50 yuan for five minutes of compliments. The group members will then show the person with praises and kind words. The compliments can be designed for a friend or loved one as well. Participants have found that being praised by strangers can help lift their spirits and improve their self-confidence. For example, Meng Zha, a student at Shanghai’s Tongji University, tried the service and found it interesting and encouraging. She received compliments on her appearance and even quotes (引用) from popular songs. Ms Meng couldn’t help but laugh at the compliments and expressed her wish to post such high-quality praises in the future. Praise groups have appeared as a way for people in China to look for and receive compliments and encouragement that may be lacking in their daily lives. It provides a positive and uplifting experience for participants, improving a sense of happiness and self-worth. Those who support the groups see them as an antidote to extremely bad moods (情绪) which are often connected with things happening on the Internet. “At first, the purpose of this group is to make us learn to praise others and accept others’ praises confidently. Here we can drop everything, and use our heart to praise and support others,” one member said. But the life journey is long and there are some unexpected situations that we can only depend on ourselves to face when there is no one out there to offer help. 12. What is the purpose of praise groups? A. To make praise popular. B. To have everyone supported. C. To share common interests. D. To give people hope and happiness. 13. What can we learn about Meng Zha in paragraph 3? A. She was not strong enough. B. She was under working stress. C. She was satisfied with the service. D. She was a gifted singer in her area. 14. What does the underlined word “antidote” mean in the last paragraph? A. A kind of medicine. B. A way of making new friends. C. A method of being confident. D. The wisdom of solving problems. 15. What is the author’s attitude to praise groups? A. Worried. B. Objective. C. Supportive. D. Confused. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种叫做“夸夸群”的交流形式在中国社交媒体上流行起来，这些聊天群提供了一个平台，让人们能够得到赞美和鼓励。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“These chat groups provide a platform for people to receive compliments (赞扬) and encouragement, which are often lacking in their daily lives.(这些聊天群为人们提供了一个接受赞美和鼓励的平台，而这些在日常生活中往往是缺乏的。)”和第四段中“Praise groups have appeared as a way for people in China to look for and receive compliments and encouragement that may be lacking in their daily lives.(夸夸群的出现，是中国人寻求和接受日常生活中可能缺乏的赞美和鼓励的一种方式。)”可推知，夸夸群的目的是给人们带来希望和幸福。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“Ms Meng couldn’t help but laugh at the compliments and expressed her wish to post such high-quality praises in the future.(孟女士忍不住笑了起来，并表示希望以后也能发表这样高质量的赞扬。)”可知，孟对夸夸群的服务是很满意的。故选C项。 【14题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线单词上文“Those who support the groups, see them as(这些支持这个群体的人把他们看作)”以及后文“to extremely bad moods (情绪) which are often connected with things happening on the Internet.(可以缓解极端糟糕的情绪，这种情绪通常与互联网上发生的事情有关。)”可知，此处为那些支持这些群的人，认为它们是一种解药。故可猜测划线单词antidote与A项“一种药”意思相近。故选A项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Those who support the groups, see them as an  antidote  to extremely bad moods (情绪) which are often connected with things happening on the Internet. (那些支持这些群体的人认为，它们是缓解极度糟糕情绪的良药，而这些糟糕情绪往往与互联网上发生的事情有关。)”和“But the life journey is long and there are some unexpected situations that we can only depend on ourselves to face when there is no one out there to offer help.(但是人生的旅程是漫长的，当没有人提供帮助的时候，我们只能依靠自己来面对一些意想不到的情况。)”可推知，作者对夸夸群的态度是客观的。故选B项。 第二节 七选五(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。 How to Stop Being a People Pleaser As a recovering people pleaser, I spent much of my life keeping others happy.

Geoffrey Hinton，关系词在从句中作定语，表示所属关系，故要用关系代词whose。故填whose。 【38题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：霍普菲尔德和辛顿因为奠定了使当今许多基于人工智能的产品成为可能的机器学习基础而受到赞誉。空前的many（用于指代复数名词）暗示空处要用名词复数。故填products。 【39题详解】 考查介词。句意：辛顿认为人工智能对我们社会的影响是巨大的。短语have an influence on/upon 表示“对……产生影响”，因此此处填介词on /upon。故填on/upon。 【40题详解】 考查名词。句意：人工智能将与工业革命相当，但不是在体力上胜过人类，而是在智力上胜过人类。介词in后缺宾语，空处又被形容词physical修饰，因此空处要填名词。故填strength。 【41题详解】 考查形容词比较级。句意：我们没有经历过拥有比我们更聪明、更强大的东西是什么感觉，辛顿说。此处表示比我们更聪明和更强大的东西。根据空后的“and more powerful than”可知，空处应与more powerful并列，也用比较级。故填smarter。 【42题详解】 考查冠词。句意：由霍普菲尔德和辛顿开发的使用人工神经网络的机器学习技术是基于大脑的结构。根据句意以及空后technology of machine learning为名词短语可知，此处为表示特指“使用人工神经网络的机器学习技术”，所以为定冠词the的填入。故填The。 【43题详解】 考查动名词。句意：在网络单元之间建立更强的联系，使我们能够训练人工神经网络，就像我们训练大脑一样。分析句子可知，空处所在部分作主语，应用动名词短语形式。空处位于句首，首字母一定要大写。故填Developing。 【44题详解】 考查连词。句意：就像我们可以在大脑中搜索一个我们很少使用的特定单词或特殊事实一样，人工神经网络也可以通过它保存的模式来搜索目标信息。根据语境可知，此处表示两种情况任选其一，应该使用并列连词or表示选择。故填or。 【45题详解】 考查动词不定式。句意：就像我们可以在大脑中搜索一个我们很少使用的特定单词或特殊事实一样，人工神经网络也可以通过它保存的模式来搜索目标信息。句中已有谓语动词，结合句意，此处是非谓语动词作目的状语，故应使用不定式表示目的。故填to find。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 假定你是李华，上周日你校为高三学生隆重地举行了“成年礼”(Coming-of-age Ceremony)，请你用英语写一篇新闻报道，内容包括： 1. 活动的时间地点； 2. 活动的内容； 3. 活动反响。 注意： 1. 词数80左右； 2. 可适当添加细节，使行文连贯。 The Coming-of-age Ceremony ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文： The Coming-of-age Ceremony With the aim of celebrating students’ entering adulthood, last Sunday witnessed a memorable coming-of-age ceremony held in the school playground and it drew the attention of teachers, students and parents.

Our preferred park is a 2km walk from my house and it has a 1km walking track. I could not drive him there every day as I had to leave for the office while at the same time he wanted to set out. Since there were hardly any footpaths in Karachi, my father said he was delighted to walk on the road as he was certain there wouldn’t be much traffic in the morning. Though I kept him informed that our house was near the park and was made of red bricks in case he got lost, I was still less confident so I suggested it would be safer if changed his walk time to the evening. That way I could take him to the park after work. However, my father — a determined person — said that he could not change his routine for just a few days and insisted that he would be leaving the house every day at 7 am and returning by 8 am. So one day when he had not returned by 8:30 am, my wife, Qaisa phoned me in a panic Worried, I immediately drove home, taking the same route that my father would have taken for his walk. Not spotting him anywhere, I drove back to the park, in the hone of discovering some trace, but in vain. Totally at a loss for what to do next, I returned home and waited impatiently, walking back and forth in the house. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 At 10:35 am the doorbell rang and my father stood outside the door smiling accompanied by a young man. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After knowing what had happened, I showed my appreciation of the young man’ s kindness. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 At 10:35 am the doorbell rang and my father stood outside the door smiling, accompanied by a young man. My father explained that he had gotten lost during his walk and ended up quite far from home. The young man, who had found my father wandering and looking confused, kindly offered to help. After listening to my father describe where he lived, the good fellow decided it was best to personally ensure his safe return rather than risk miscommunication over the phone or with directions. After knowing what had happened, I showed my appreciation of the young man’s kindness. I thanked him genuinely, touched by his generosity and concern for an elderly stranger. We invited him in for tea, but he politely declined, stating that he was glad to have been able to assist and that he needed to get back to his own schedule. His selfless act reminded us of the goodness in people and reinforced the importance of community spirit. We saw the young man off, and I made sure to discuss with my father about carrying an emergency contact card during his future outings. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者八十岁的父亲每天早晨都要去附近的公园散步一个小时，虽然作者建议他晚上去，因为晚上作者可以陪伴他，但是老人坚持早晨去。一天老人没有按时回家，作者马上出去找，但是寻找未果。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“上午十点35，门铃响了。父亲笑着站在门外，一个年轻人陪着他。”可知，第一段可描写父亲在公园迷路，遇到善良的年轻人，年轻人陪着老人回家。 ②由第二段首句内容“知道了发生的事以后，我表达了对于年轻人的善良的感激。”可知，第二段可描写作者怎样感谢年轻人，以及年轻人的表达。 2.续写线索：老人年纪大非早起散步——子女没办法陪伴，建议老人改时间——固执，独自去散步后迷路——老人出现在门口——年轻人陪着老人回家——老人讲述原因——感谢年轻人的帮助——做好安全措施 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①迷路：get lost/lose one’s way ②确保：ensure/make sure of ③拒绝：decline/refuse/reject 情绪类 ①感谢：thank him genuinely/show our gratitude/showing our appreciation ②高兴的：glad/delighted/joyful 【点睛】[高分句型1].
