B The life of a premature (早产的) baby born during the winter storm in Texas was saved thanks to a team of medical professionals, including a doctor and two nurses who travelled from East Austin to Marble Falls in an effort to save a newborn baby’s life. When Arias began experiencing pains, she and her parents headed to the closest hospital, Baylor Scott & White. Arias gave birth to her daughter, Zaylynn, who weighed just over one pound and was in need of advanced special care. However, the hospital does not offer the specialized care premature babies require. “We had five or six people out at the nurses’ station calling hospital networks all over the state of Texas,” said Meredith Schubert, the labor and delivery nurse on duty when Arias arrived. “Nobody could answer our cry for help.” They finally reached Dr. John Loyd through a patient, division neonatologist (新生儿学专家) chief at Dell Children’s Medical Center in Austin, Texas. Around 5 p. m., after already having worked a full shift, Loyd packed his SUV with equipment and he and two nurses set out for Marble Falls, about 55miles away. The drive took Loyd and the nurses about two hours as they drove in the night through ice and snow. After safely arriving at the medical center in Marble Falls around 8 p. m., the Dell Children’s crew set up a temporary newborn ICU. Together, the Dell Children’s and Baylor Scott & White teams worked around the clock to care for the mother and daughter. Once the weather cleared enough to allow for a helicopter to safely land. Zaylynn was transferred (转移) to Dell Children’s, where there is a Level IV newborn intensive care unit (重症监护室). Schubert said, “It was a huge relief and a sense of accomplishment and joy that Zaylynn finally got to the place where she needed to be.” Arias said that she was grateful to the doctors and nurses who worked together to save her daughter. 4. What did the newborn baby need badly? A. Famous hospitals. B. Experienced doctors. C. Special intensive care. D. Professional operations. 5 What do we know about the nurses’ call for help before reaching Loyd? A. No reply was received at first. B. First aid was put off because of it. C. It wasn’t sent out for the heavy snow. D. A medical team came to their help as a result. 6. What made the doctors and nurses feel a sense of relief? A. The fine weather. B. The baby’s improvement. C. The take-off of the helicopter. D. The baby’s arrival at Dell Children’s. 7. Which of the following can be the best title for the article? A. Actions speak louder than words. B. Rome was not built m a single day. C. Where there is a will, there is a way. D. When disaster strikes, help comes from all sides. C When the explorers first set foot upon the continent of North America, the skies and lands were alive with an astonishing variety of wildlife. Native Americans had taken care of these precious natural resources wisely. Unfortunately, it took the explorers and the settlers who followed only a few decades to decimate a large part of these resources. Millions of waterfowl (水禽) were killed at the hands of market hunters and a handful of overly ambitious sportsmen. Millions of acres of wetlands were dried to feed and house the ever-increasing populations, greatly reducing waterfowl habitat. In 1934, with the passage of the Migratory Bird Hunting Stamp Act (Act), an increasingly concerned nation took firm action to stop the destruction of migratory (迁徙的) waterfowl and the wetlands so vital to their survival. Under this Act, all waterfowl hunters 16 years of age and over must annually purchase and carry a Federal Duck Stamp. The very first Federal Duck Stamp was designed by J.N. “Ding” Darling, a political cartoonist from Des Moines, lowa, who at that time was appointed by President Franklin Roosevelt as Director of the Bureau of Biological Survey. Hunters willingly pay the stamp price to ensure the survival of our natural resources. About 98 cents of every duck stamp dollar goes directly into the Migratory Bird Conservation Fund to purchase wetlands and wildlife habitat for inclusion into the National Wildlife Refuge System — a fact that ensures this land will be protected and available for all generations to come. Since 1934, better than half a billion dollars has gone into that Fund to purchase more than 5 million acres of habitat. Little wonder the Federal Duck Stamp Program has been called one of the most successful conservation programs ever initiated. 8. What was a cause of the waterfowl population decline in North America? A. Loss of wetlands. B. Popularity of water sports. C. Pollution of rivers. D. Arrival of other wild animals. 9. What does the underlined word “decimate” mean in the first paragraph? A. Acquire. B. Export. C. Destroy. D. Distribute. 10. What is a direct result of the Act passed in 1934? A. The stamp price has gone down. B. The migratory birds have flown away. C. The hunters have stopped hunting. D. The government has collected money. 11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. The Federal Duck Stamp Story B. The National Wildlife Refuge System C. The Benefits of Saving Waterfowl D. The History of Migratory Bird Hunting D The possibility of self-driving robot cars has often seemed like a futurist’s dream, years away from coming true in the real world. Well, the future is apparently now. The California Department of Motor Vehicles began giving permits in April for companies to test truly self-driving cars on public roads. The state also cleared the way for companies to sell or rent out self-driving cars, and for companies to operate driverless taxi services. California, it should be noted, isn’t leading the way here. Companies have been testing their vehicles in cities across the country. It’s hard to predict when driverless cars will be everywhere on our roads. But however long it takes, the technology has the potential to change our transportation systems and our cities, for better or for worse, depending on how the transformation is regulated. While much of the debate so far has been focused on the safety of driverless cars, policymakers also should be talking about how self-driving vehicles can help reduce traffic jams, cut emissions and offer more convenient, affordable mobility options. The arrival of driverless vehicles is a chance to make sure that those vehicles are environmentally friendly and more shared. Do we want to copy — or even worsen — the traffic of today with driverless cars? Imagine a future where most adults own individual self-driving vehicles. They tolerate long, slow journeys to and from work on packed highways because they can work, entertain themselves or sleep on the ride, which encourages urban spread. They take their driverless car to an appointment and set the empty vehicle to circle the building to avoid paying for parking. Instead of walking a few blocks to pick up a child or the dry cleaning, they send the self-driving minibus. The convenience even leads fewer people to take public transport — an unwelcome side effect researchers have already found in ride-hailing (叫车) services. Policymakers should start thinking now about how to make sure the appearance of driverless vehicles doesn’t extend the worst aspects of the car-controlled transportation system we have today. The coming technological advancement presents a chance for cities and states to develop transportation systems designed to move more people, and more affordably. The car of the future is coming. We just have to plan for it. 12. What is the author’s major concern for self-driving cars? A. Expense. B. Management. C. Advantages. D. Safety. 13. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Drivers’ improper use of self-driving cars. B. The new traffic rules for self-driving cars. C. The widespread application of self-driving cars. D. The possible bad effects of self-driving cars. 14. What is the author’s attitude towards self-driving cars? A. Indifferent. B. Disapproving. C. Positive. D. Negative. 15. What might be the best title for this passage? A. Preparing Cities for Self-driving Cars B. The Development of Driverless Minibuses C. The Technology of Inventing Self-driving Cars D. Future Transportation Rules 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。 We’ve all hurt someone we love to varying degrees. I am always impressed when someone recognizes their role and wants to take responsibility. That’s the first step. ______16______ Here are several things to keep in mind: You probably hold powerful beliefs about apologizing. ______17______ It can be helpful to reflect on how your family has handled mistakes and forgiveness while you were growing up. Has your family modeled what an apology sounds like? If apologizing is new to you, validate (证实) how scary and uncomfortable it may feel to admit you were wrong. Your intention matters. Why do you want to apologize? Did you do something that actually deserves an apology or are you trying to keep peace? ______18______ ______19______ When someone is hurt, they may not want to hear your apology right away. There may not be a “perfect” time, but forcing someone to speak to you or hear you out before they are ready can feel less like an apology and more like an ambush. Sometimes, our urgency is driven by guilt or fear of losing someone, misaligning (未对准) our timing with the person’s need for some space to process. An apology is not a magic cure. Just because you apologized, it doesn’t mean everything will go back to normal. ______20______ An apology can strengthen a relationship, but it may also just allow you to part ways in a friendly way. Have realistic expectations and make sure not to pressure someone to “go back to normal” right away. A. Your words matter. B. But, apologizing is not always easy. C. You need to choose your timing wisely. D. Explore any hesitations or fears you may have. E. Before apologizing pause and reflect on why you are saying sorry. F. It will take time for the relationship to repair and perhaps shift into its new dynamic. G. We should apologize because we want to take responsibility and because it represents who we are as people. 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Born without the right hand and most of the right forearm, Anantawan only has five fingers.

He had been on the road visiting people for more than a month without going home. He couldn’t wait to get back to see his wife and children. It was coming up on Mother’s Day, and he usually tried to make it “back home”, but this year he was just too busy and too tired. The day when he was driving in a small town, he saw a flower shop. He said to himself, “I know what I will do. I’ll send my mother some roses.” He stopped and went into the flower shop and saw a young man talking to the girl in it. “How many roses can I get for five dollars, Miss?” the young man asked. The girl was trying to explain that roses were expensive. Maybe the young man would be happy with something else. “No. I have to have roses,” he said. “My mom was badly sick last year and I didn’t get to spend much time with her. I want to get something special. It has to be red roses, because that is her favorite.” He was stubborn. The girl in the shop looked up at Eric and was just shaking her head. Something inside of Eric was touched by the boy’s voice. He wanted to get those roses so badly. Eric had been lucky in his business, and he looked at the girl and silently said that he would pay for the young man’s roses. The girl looked at the young man and said, “OK, I will give you a dozen red roses for your dollars.” The young man almost jumped into the air. He took the flowers and ran down the store.

When Arias began experiencing pains, she and her parents headed to the closest hospital, Baylor Scott & White. Arias gave birth to her daughter, Zaylynn, who weighed just over one pound and was in need of advanced special care. However, the hospital does not offer the specialized care premature babies require. “We had five or six people out at the nurses’ station calling hospital networks all over the state of Texas,” said Meredith Schubert, the labor and delivery nurse on duty when Arias arrived. “Nobody could answer our cry for help.” They finally reached Dr. John Loyd through a patient, division neonatologist (新生儿学专家) chief at Dell Children’s Medical Center in Austin, Texas. Around 5 p. m., after already having worked a full shift, Loyd packed his SUV with equipment and he and two nurses set out for Marble Falls, about 55miles away. The drive took Loyd and the nurses about two hours as they drove in the night through ice and snow. After safely arriving at the medical center in Marble Falls around 8 p. m., the Dell Children’s crew set up a temporary newborn ICU. Together, the Dell Children’s and Baylor Scott & White teams worked around the clock to care for the mother and daughter. Once the weather cleared enough to allow for a helicopter to safely land. Zaylynn was transferred (转移) to Dell Children’s, where there is a Level IV newborn intensive care unit (重症监护室). Schubert said, “It was a huge relief and a sense of accomplishment and joy that Zaylynn finally got to the place where she needed to be.” Arias said that she was grateful to the doctors and nurses who worked together to save her daughter. 4. What did the newborn baby need badly? A. Famous hospitals. B. Experienced doctors. C. Special intensive care. D. Professional operations. 5. What do we know about the nurses’ call for help before reaching Loyd? A. No reply was received at first. B. First aid was put off because of it. C. It wasn’t sent out for the heavy snow. D. A medical team came to their help as a result. 6 What made the doctors and nurses feel a sense of relief? A. The fine weather. B. The baby’s improvement. C. The take-off of the helicopter. D. The baby’s arrival at Dell Children’s. 7. Which of the following can be the best title for the article? A. Actions speak louder than words. B. Rome was not built m a single day. C. Where there is a will, there is a way. D. When disaster strikes, help comes from all sides. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。主要报道了得克萨斯州一支医疗专业团队，努力挽救一名早产儿生命的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Arias gave birth to her daughter, Zaylynn, who weighed just over one pound and was in need of advanced special care.”（阿里亚斯生下了女儿扎琳 (Zaylynn)，她的体重刚刚超过一磅，需要高级特殊护理。）可知，刚出生的婴儿急需特别的重症监护。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段““We had five or six people out at the nurses’ station calling hospital networks all over the state of Texas,” said Meredith Schubert, the labor and delivery nurse on duty when Arias arrived. “Nobody could answer our cry for help.””（“我们有五六个人在护士站给德克萨斯州的医院网络打电话，”阿里亚斯到达时值班的产房护士梅雷迪思·舒伯特(Meredith Schubert)说。“没有人能回应我们的呼救。”）可知，护士在到达洛伊德之前的求救电话起初没有收到回复。故选A项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Schubert said, “It was a huge relief and a sense of accomplishment and joy that Zaylynn finally got to the place where she needed to be.””（舒伯特说：“扎琳终于到达了她需要去的地方，这是一种巨大的解脱，一种成就感和喜悦。”）可知，孩子来到戴尔儿童医院让医生和护士感到如释重负。故选D项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第五段中“Together, the Dell Children’s and Baylor Scott & White teams worked around the clock to care for the mother and daughter.”（戴尔儿童医疗中心和贝勒斯科特怀特医疗中心的团队一起夜以继日地照顾这对母女。）可知，当贝勒斯科特怀特医疗中心不能给早产儿提供特殊护理时，戴尔儿童医疗中心克服重重困难，和他们共同合作，把早产儿转移到了自己医院的新生儿重症监护室，体现了一方有难，八方支援。故文章最好的标题是“灾难来临时，四面八方都来帮忙”。故选D项。 C When the explorers first set foot upon the continent of North America, the skies and lands were alive with an astonishing variety of wildlife. Native Americans had taken care of these precious natural resources wisely. Unfortunately, it took the explorers and the settlers who followed only a few decades to decimate a large part of these resources. Millions of waterfowl (水禽) were killed at the hands of market hunters and a handful of overly ambitious sportsmen. Millions of acres of wetlands were dried to feed and house the ever-increasing populations, greatly reducing waterfowl habitat. In 1934, with the passage of the Migratory Bird Hunting Stamp Act (Act), an increasingly concerned nation took firm action to stop the destruction of migratory (迁徙的) waterfowl and the wetlands so vital to their survival. Under this Act, all waterfowl hunters 16 years of age and over must annually purchase and carry a Federal Duck Stamp. The very first Federal Duck Stamp was designed by J.N. “Ding” Darling, a political cartoonist from Des Moines, lowa, who at that time was appointed by President Franklin Roosevelt as Director of the Bureau of Biological Survey. Hunters willingly pay the stamp price to ensure the survival of our natural resources. About 98 cents of every duck stamp dollar goes directly into the Migratory Bird Conservation Fund to purchase wetlands and wildlife habitat for inclusion into the National Wildlife Refuge System — a fact that ensures this land will be protected and available for all generations to come. Since 1934, better than half a billion dollars has gone into that Fund to purchase more than 5 million acres of habitat. Little wonder the Federal Duck Stamp Program has been called one of the most successful conservation programs ever initiated. 8. What was a cause of the waterfowl population decline in North America? A. Loss of wetlands. B. Popularity of water sports. C. Pollution of rivers. D. Arrival of other wild animals. 9. What does the underlined word “decimate” mean in the first paragraph? A. Acquire. B. Export. C. Destroy. D. Distribute. 10. What is a direct result of the Act passed in 1934? A. The stamp price has gone down. B. The migratory birds have flown away. C. The hunters have stopped hunting. D. The government has collected money. 11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. The Federal Duck Stamp Story B. The National Wildlife Refuge System C. The Benefits of Saving Waterfowl D. The History of Migratory Bird Hunting 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了由于栖息地减少，美国水禽骤减，因此联邦发行鸭票，狩猎者只有购买鸭票才能狩猎，而鸭票的部分收入进入用于购买水禽栖息地的基金，从而保护水禽。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Millions of waterfowl were killed at the hands of market hunters and a handful of overly ambitious sportsmen. Millions of acres of wetlands were dried to feed and house the ever-increasing populations, greatly reducing waterfowl habitat.(数百万只水禽被市场猎人和一些野心勃勃的运动员杀死。数百万英亩的湿地被抽干，以养活和安置不断增加的人口，大大减少了水禽的栖息地)”可知，数百万英亩的湿地被抽干用作农地或者修建住房，导致水禽的栖息地减少，水禽数量下降。故选A。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“Native Americans had taken care of these precious natural resources wisely. Unfortunately, it took the explorers and the settlers who followed only a few decades to decimate a large part of these resources.(美洲原住民明智地保护了这些宝贵的自然资源。不幸的是，仅仅几十年的探险家和定居者就decimate这些资源的大部分)”可知，前后句形成转折，前一句陈述美洲原住民保护这些宝贵的自然资源，所以后句表示探险家和定居者破坏了这些自然资源，推测划线单词表示“破坏”，与destroy同义。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Since 1934, better than half a billion dollars has gone into that Fund to purchase more than 5 million acres of habitat.(自1934年以来，已有超过5亿美元投入该基金，用于购买500多万英亩的栖息地)”可知，自1934年通过法案，政府获得超过5亿美元，已经筹集了很多资金，以购买水禽栖息地。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Under this Act, all waterfowl hunters 16 years of age and over must annually purchase and carry a Federal Duck Stamp. (根据该法案，所有16岁及以上的水禽猎人必须每年购买并携带联邦鸭章)”以及第三段“Little wonder the Federal Duck Stamp Program has been called one of the most successful conservation programs ever initiated.(难怪联邦鸭票计划被称为有史以来最成功的保护计划之一)”可知，本文主要讲述了联邦鸭票的故事，所以“联邦鸭票的故事”可以作为文章标题。故选A。 D The possibility of self-driving robot cars has often seemed like a futurist’s dream, years away from coming true in the real world. Well, the future is apparently now. The California Department of Motor Vehicles began giving permits in April for companies to test truly self-driving cars on public roads. The state also cleared the way for companies to sell or rent out self-driving cars, and for companies to operate driverless taxi services. California, it should be noted, isn’t leading the way here. Companies have been testing their vehicles in cities across the country. It’s hard to predict when driverless cars will be everywhere on our roads. But however long it takes, the technology has the potential to change our transportation systems and our cities, for better or for worse, depending on how the transformation is regulated. While much of the debate so far has been focused on the safety of driverless cars, policymakers also should be talking about how self-driving vehicles can help reduce traffic jams, cut emissions and offer more convenient, affordable mobility options. The arrival of driverless vehicles is a chance to make sure that those vehicles are environmentally friendly and more shared. Do we want to copy — or even worsen — the traffic of today with driverless cars? Imagine a future where most adults own individual self-driving vehicles. They tolerate long, slow journeys to and from work on packed highways because they can work, entertain themselves or sleep on the ride, which encourages urban spread. They take their driverless car to an appointment and set the empty vehicle to circle the building to avoid paying for parking. Instead of walking a few blocks to pick up a child or the dry cleaning, they send the self-driving minibus. The convenience even leads fewer people to take public transport — an unwelcome side effect researchers have already found in ride-hailing (叫车) services. Policymakers should start thinking now about how to make sure the appearance of driverless vehicles doesn’t extend the worst aspects of the car-controlled transportation system we have today. The coming technological advancement presents a chance for cities and states to develop transportation systems designed to move more people, and more affordably. The car of the future is coming. We just have to plan for it. 12. What is the author’s major concern for self-driving cars? A. Expense. B. Management. C. Advantages. D. Safety. 13. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Drivers’ improper use of self-driving cars. B. The new traffic rules for self-driving cars. C. The widespread application of self-driving cars. D. The possible bad effects of self-driving cars. 14. What is the author’s attitude towards self-driving cars? A. Indifferent. B. Disapproving. C. Positive. D. Negative. 15. What might be the best title for this passage? A. Preparing Cities for Self-driving Cars B. The Development of Driverless Minibuses C. The Technology of Inventing Self-driving Cars D. Future Transportation Rules 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要围绕自动驾驶汽车（无人驾驶汽车）的未来发展、潜在影响以及政策制定者应该如何应对这一技术变革进行了讨论。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“But however long it takes, the technology has the potential to change our transportation systems and our cities, for better or for worse, depending on how the transformation is regulated.(但无论这需要多长时间，这项技术都有可能改变我们的交通系统和城市，是好是坏，取决于如何监管这一转变。)”可知，作者对于自动驾驶汽车的关注点在于监管。故选B。 13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“Do we want to copy — or even worsen — the traffic of today with driverless cars? Imagine a future where most adults own individual self-driving vehicles. They tolerate long, slow journeys to and from work on packed highways because they can work, entertain themselves or sleep on the ride, which encourages urban spread. They take their driverless car to an appointment and set the empty vehicle to circle the building to avoid paying for parking. Instead of walking a few blocks to pick up a child or the dry cleaning, they send the self-driving minibus.(我们是否想要用无人驾驶汽车复制——甚至加剧——今天的交通拥堵呢？想象一下这样一个未来：大多数成年人拥有个人自动驾驶汽车。他们忍受着在拥挤的高速公路上漫长而缓慢的上下班旅程，因为他们可以在车上工作、娱乐或睡觉，这鼓励了城市扩张。他们开着无人驾驶汽车去赴约，并让空车绕着大楼转圈，以避免支付停车费。他们不再步行几个街区去接孩子或取干洗的衣服，而是派遣无人驾驶小型巴士。)”可知，第三段主要讨论的是自动驾驶汽车可能带来的不良后果，包括城市扩张、公共交通使用减少等。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The coming technological advancement presents a chance for cities and states to develop transportation systems designed to move more people, and more affordably. The car of the future is coming. We just have to plan for it.(即将到来的技术进步为城市和州提供了发展旨在运送更多人且更实惠的交通系统的机会。未来的汽车即将到来。我们只需为此做好准备。)”可推测，作者对于自动驾驶汽车抱有积极的态度。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“Policymakers should start thinking now about how to make sure the appearance of driverless vehicles doesn’t extend the worst aspects of the car-controlled transportation system we have today. The coming technological advancement presents a chance for cities and states to develop transportation systems designed to move more people, and more affordably. The car of the future is coming. We just have to plan for it.(政策制定者现在应该开始考虑如何确保无人驾驶汽车的出现不会加剧我们今天汽车主导的交通系统中最糟糕的一面。即将到来的技术进步为城市和州提供了发展旨在运送更多人且更实惠的交通系统的机会。未来的汽车即将到来。我们只需为此做好准备。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要讨论了自动驾驶汽车的未来发展及其对城市规划、交通系统等方面可能带来的影响。作者强调了政策制定者需要提前规划，为自动驾驶汽车的到来做好准备，以避免其可能带来的负面影响。选项A“Preparing Cities for Self-driving Cars(让城市为自动驾驶汽车做好准备)”准确地概括了文章的核心内容和观点。故选A。 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。 We’ve all hurt someone we love to varying degrees.

That’s the first step. ______16______ Here are several things to keep in mind: You probably hold powerful beliefs about apologizing. ______17______ It can be helpful to reflect on how your family has handled mistakes and forgiveness while you were growing up. Has your family modeled what an apology sounds like? If apologizing is new to you, validate (证实) how scary and uncomfortable it may feel to admit you were wrong. Your intention matters. Why do you want to apologize?

Just because you apologized, it doesn’t mean everything will go back to normal. ______20______ An apology can strengthen a relationship, but it may also just allow you to part ways in a friendly way. Have realistic expectations and make sure not to pressure someone to “go back to normal” right away. A. Your words matter. B. But, apologizing is not always easy. C. You need to choose your timing wisely. D. Explore any hesitations or fears you may have. E. Before apologizing, pause and reflect on why you are saying sorry. F.

(但是，道歉并不总是那么容易。)”承上启下，符合语境，故选B项。 【17题详解】 此处设空处为中心句后的第一句。根据下文“It can be helpful to reflect on how your family has handled mistakes and forgiveness while you were growing up. Has your family modeled what an apology sounds like? If apologizing is new to you, validate (证实) how scary and uncomfortable it may feel to admit you were wrong. (在你成长的过程中，反思一下你的家人是如何处理错误和宽恕的，这会很有帮助。你的家人模仿过道歉的声音吗？如果道歉对你来说是新鲜事，那就验证一下承认自己错了可能会让人感到多么恐惧和不舒服。)”可知，本段从道歉的内心活动信念入手，思考联系自己成长过程家庭中的情形为例子。D项“Explore any hesitations or fears you may have. (探索你可能存在的任何犹豫或恐惧。)”承上启下，符合语境，故选D项。 【18题详解】 此处设空处为段尾句。根据本段中心句“Your intention matters. (你的意图很重要。)”以及空格前的具体设问“Why do you want to apologize? Did you do something that actually deserves an apology or are you trying to keep peace? (你为什么要道歉？你做了什么值得道歉的事吗？还是你试图保持平静？)”可知，本段的中心词是intention。E项“Before apologizing, pause and reflect on why you are saying sorry. (在道歉之前，停下来思考一下你为什么要道歉。)”符合本段主旨，故选E项。 【19题详解】 空格处为本段中心句。根据下文“There may not be a “perfect” time, but forcing someone to speak to you or hear you out before they are ready can feel less like an apology and more like an ambush.

(可能没有“完美”的时间，但强迫别人在准备好之前和你说话或听你说完，感觉不像是道歉，更像是伏击。有时，我们的紧迫感是由内疚或对失去某人的恐惧、错位所驱动的,我们的时间安排与人需要一些空间来处理。)”可知，本段的中心都是道歉的时机有关。C项“You need to choose your timing wisely. (你需要明智地选择时机。)”符合本段主旨。故选C项。 【20题详解】 空格处为段中句。结合小标题“An apology is not a magic cure. (道歉并不是魔法般的快速解决办法)”以及第一句“Just because you apologized, it doesn’t mean everything will go back to normal. (仅仅因为你道歉了，并不意味着一切都会恢复正常。)”和最后一句“Have realistic expectations and make sure not to pressure someone to “go back to normal” right away.

I want to get something special. It has to be red roses, because that is her favorite.” He was stubborn. The girl in the shop looked up at Eric and was just shaking her head. Something inside of Eric was touched by the boy’s voice. He wanted to get those roses so badly. Eric had been lucky in his business, and he looked at the girl and silently said that he would pay for the young man’s roses. The girl looked at the young man and said, “OK, I will give you a dozen red roses for your dollars.” The young man almost jumped into the air. He took the flowers and ran down the store. It was worth more than fifty dollars just to see that kind of excitement. Eric ordered his own flowers and asked the girl to have it delivered to his mother.

(母亲节快到了，他通常会想办法“回家”，但今年他太忙了，也太累了。)”可知，作者今年太忙太累了而没有在母亲节的时候回家。空处需要形容词tired“劳累的”作表语。故填tired。 ②考查形容词性物主代词。根据第一段中“He said to himself, “I know what I will do. I’ll send my mother some roses.” (他对自己说：“我知道我会做什么。我会给我妈妈送一些玫瑰。”)”可知，作者决定送给他妈妈一些玫瑰。空处需要形容词性物主代词his“他的”，作定语。故填his。 ③考查动词。根据第二段“He stopped and went into the flower shop and saw a young man talking to the girl in it. “How many roses can I get for five dollars, Miss？” the young man asked. (他停下来走进花店，看到一个年轻人在和里面的女孩说话。“小姐，五美元能买到多少朵玫瑰？”年轻人问道。)”可知，作者在花店看到一个男士正试着用五美元买玫瑰花。空处需要动词try“尝试”，空处需要非谓语动词作宾语补足语，该动词和宾语之间为主动关系，所以用现在分词作宾语补足语。故填trying。 ④考查动词。根据第二段“The girl was trying to explain that roses were expensive. (女孩试图解释玫瑰很贵。)”可知，女孩正在尽量解释玫瑰花很贵。空处需要动词explain“解释”。try to do sth.“尽量作某事”。故填to explain。 ⑤考查名词。根据第三段“I want to get something special. It has to be red roses，because that is her favorite. (我想买点特别的。一定是红玫瑰，因为那是她的最爱。)”可知，红玫瑰是男士妈妈的最爱。由此可知，他坚持他妈妈的最爱是红玫瑰。空处需要名词favorite“特别喜爱的人（或物）”。故填favorite。 ⑥考查副词。根据第三段““No. I have to have roses, ” he said. “My mom was badly sick last year and I didn’t get to spend much time with her. (“不，我必须要玫瑰，”他说。“我妈妈去年病得很重，我没有太多时间陪她。”)”可知，男士的妈妈病的很重。由此可推知，他想要送给他妈妈红玫瑰是由于他妈妈病的很重。空处需要副词badly“严重地”，修饰形容词。故填badly。 ⑦考查动词。根据第四段“Something inside of Eric was touched by the boy’s voice. (男孩的声音触动了埃里克的内心。)”可知，男孩的声音触动了埃里克的内心。由此可知，Eric被男孩的声音感动，决定给男孩买玫瑰花。空处需要动词touch“感动”，在句中作谓语，句子为一般过去时态，和主语之间为被动关系，所以用一般过去时态的被动语态，主语为第三人称单数形式。故填was touched。 ⑧考查名词。根据倒数第二段“The young man almost jumped into the air. He took the flowers and ran down the store. It was worth more than fifty dollars just to see that kind of excitement. (那个年轻人几乎跳到空中。他拿着花沿着商店跑去。光是看到那种刺激就值五十多美元了。)”可知，男人因为能够买到玫瑰花而非常的兴奋。由此可知，男人兴奋地拿着玫瑰花离开了。空处需要名词excitement“兴奋”，和前面的介词in构成介词短语，在句中作状语。故填excitement。 ⑨考查动词。根据最后一段“Eric ordered his own flowers and asked the girl to have it delivered to his mother. (埃里克订购了自己的花，并要求女孩把它送到他的母亲。)”可知，作者订了花并让女孩送到了母亲那。空处需要动词deliver“投递”。空处需要非谓语动词作宾语补足语，该动词和宾语之间为被动关系，所以用过去分词。故填delivered。 ⑩考查动词。根据最后一段“After that, with a relief he drove down the road. Not long after his driving，he saw the young man walking to a graveyard (墓地). (在那之后，他如释重负地开车上路。开车后不久，他看到那个年轻人走向墓地。)”可知，买完花后，作者开车上路了。空处需要动词drive“驾驶”，在句中作谓语。句子是对过去事实的描述，所以用一般过去时态。故填drove。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“It was coming up on Mother’s Day, and he usually tried to make it “back home”, but this year he was just too busy and too tired. (母亲节快到了，他通常会想办法“回家”，但今年他太忙了，也太累了。)”可知，母亲节对于埃里克来说意味着要回家拜访母亲，并在那一天表示对母亲的爱。故答案为It was a time to visit his mother and show his love for her. 【48题详解】 细节理解题。倒数第二段“It was worth more than fifty dollars just to see that kind of excitement. (光是看到这种兴奋就值50多美元。)”可知，作者帮助了男士后，感觉看到男士是如此兴奋，他觉得很值。故答案为He felt it was worth more than fifty dollars just to see the young man’s excitement. 【49题详解】 开放题。本题为开放题，答案不唯一，合理即可。故参考答案为He might visit his mother on the coming Mother’s Day in person. Because he saw the young man’s strong desire to show love to his mother despite her being no longer alive made him realize the importance of spending time with his mother while she was still around. 第五部分 写作（满分20分） 50. 假定你是李华，上周日你校邀请心理学家王教授做了题为“积极情绪的力量”的讲座。请你为校英文报写一篇报道，内容包括： 1.时间地点； 2.参加人员； 3.活动反响。 注意： 1.写作词数应为100左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Lecture on the power of positive emotions ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Last Sunday, Professor Wang, a famous psychologist, was invited to our school to deliver a lecture on the power of positive emotions.
