One day, he wandered in a beautiful small town. Because of his fame, people from nearby towns who heard of his arrival all came to visit and seek his advice. Many who came sought help with difficulties in daily life, and Thomas, unable to bear turning them away, patiently offered suggestions. Word spread quickly, and more and more people came to see Thomas, for guidance. One day, dozens of people crowded outside Thomas’s door, all clamoring (大声地要求) that their problems were the most serious and urgent, each insisting that Thomas’ address their concerns first, with no one willing to yield (让步). After a moment of thought, Thomas took out some paper and a pen and said, “I can’t hear clearly with everyone talking at once. How about everyone write down your problem on a piece of paper and place it in this basket beside me?” Once everyone had placed their notes in the basket, Thomas shook the basket and said, “Please each take a piece of paper from the basket and read what it says.” As everyone read a note from someone else, they all realized that indeed, each person has their own troubles, and every household has its own challenges. Then Thomas spoke up, “Now, whose problem is the most urgent to solve?” Hearing that question, no one spoke again, because now no one dared to claim that their problem was the most severe. Often, we are bound by our immediate feelings. When difficulties and problems strike, it feels as though we are caught in a vortex of pain. But if we shift our focus from ourselves and look towards others, we might discover that the problems we face are not so significant. Perhaps others are the ones who need help more urgently, or maybe there is something within our power that we can do for them. 4. Why did people visit Thomas? A. For advice. B. For a meeting. C. For a competition. D. For introductions. 5. How did Thomas handle the crowd? A. He ignored them. B. He listened to each one individually. C. He prioritized the problems himself. D. He asked them to write down their problems. 6. What did reading others’ problems show to the people? A. The complexity of their difficulties. B. The similarity of their situations. C. Their need for more advice. D. Their living conditions. 7. What is the main purpose of this passage? A. Everyone should solve their own problems B. Other people’s problems may be worse than yours C. Shifting focus can lessen our pain D. A wise person can solve all problems 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲的是托马斯通过智慧和同情心来帮助人们认识到每个人都有自己的问题，并鼓励他们通过同情和理解他人来减轻自己的痛苦。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Because of his fame, people from nearby towns who heard of his arrival all came to visit and seek his advice. (由于他的名声，附近城镇的人听说他来了，都来拜访他，征求他的意见)”可知，人们拜访托马斯是为了寻求建议。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“How about everyone write down your problem on a piece of paper and place it in this basket beside me? (大家把你们的问题写在一张纸上，放在我身边的篮子里，怎么样？)”可知，托马斯通过让他们写下各自的问题来应付他们。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“As everyone read a note from someone else, they all realized that indeed, each person has their own troubles, and every household has its own challenges. (当每个人读到别人的纸条时，他们都意识到，确实，每个人都有自己的烦恼，每个家庭都有自己的挑战)”可知，阅读别人的问题让他们意识到他们的处境相似。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段中“But if we shift our focus from ourselves and look towards others, we might discover that the problems we face are not so significant. Perhaps others are the ones who need help more urgently, or maybe there is something within our power that we can do for them. (但如果我们把注意力从自己身上转移到他人身上，我们可能会发现我们所面临的问题并不是那么严重。也许其他人更需要紧急的帮助，或者也许我们有能力为他们做些什么)”可知，文章主要讲述了托马斯通过让人们写下并阅读彼此的问题，让大家意识到每个人都有自己的烦恼，从而让人们学会关注他人，从而减轻自身的痛苦。因此C选项“转移注意力可以减轻我们的痛苦”为本文想要表达的主旨。故选C。 C Nashville, Tennessee is already known to many Americans as Music City, which is famous for country music in the United States and is home to many recording companies. But recently, music recorded for video games, television shows and movies has earned Nashville a new name: Soundtrack (原声音乐) City. The city is known for very good studio musicians. They work mostly on recordings rather than live performances. Musicians in Nashville have helped to make the soundtracks for some of the most popular video games in the US. These include “Madden”, “FIFA” and “Star Wars”. Also, more production companies have been bringing their film and TV soundtrack recordings to Nashville, including Netflix, Sony and Focus Features. A program the state of Tennessee established last year gives financial support to companies for doing business in the city. “Nashville has become one of the major places in the world to record for films, games and television,” Steve Schnur told the Associated Press. He is president of music for Electronic Arts (EA), a video game company. In the past, Schnur worked for MTV and music production companies such as Arista. He also worked as a music supervisor on films before joining EA. For a long time, EA recorded soundtracks for their games with orchestras, or large groups of musicians, in Los Angeles, London and Eastern Europe. That changed about seven years ago when Schnur came to Nashville to record music for a game called “Dragon Age Inquisition”. “I work with the musicians in Nashville now. They are both fast and skilled, ” Schnur added. This proved true even on complex songs written by well-known composers such as Hans Zimmer, Lorne Balfe, Jeff Russo and John Debney. The music of video games is often very important to the gameplay in creating both emotion and attachment to the storyline. Kris Bowers is the remarkable composer behind the award-winning film “Green Book”. He came to Ocean Way Nashville Recording Studios and successfully recorded the soundtrack for “Madden NFL 20”. 8. What makes Nashville called Soundtrack City? A. The achievement in soundtrack. B. The increase in live music performance. C. The film production. D. The record of country music. 9. For which film did Kris Bowers record the award-winning soundtrack? A. “Dragon Age Inquisition” B. “Green Book” C. “Madden NFL 20” D. “Star Wars” 10. What does Schnur do now? A. He is a musician from Los Angeles. B He is president of the Associated Press. C. He is a music supervisor on films in Arista. D. He is a leader recording music for video games in EA. 11. Why does the author mention Kris Bowers in the last paragraph? A To show the popularity of folk music. B. To attach importance to video games. C. To introduce his award-winning film. D. To stress Nashville’s musical success. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了原声音乐城市纳什维尔。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The city is known for very good studio musicians. They work mostly on recordings rather than live performances. Musicians in Nashville have helped to make the soundtracks for some of the most popular video games in the US. (这个城市以出色的录音室音乐家而闻名。他们的工作主要是录音，而不是现场表演。纳什维尔的音乐家们为美国一些最流行的视频游戏制作了原声带)”和第三段中“Also, more production companies have been bringing their film and TV soundtrack recordings to Nashville, including Netflix, Sony and Focus Features. (此外，越来越多的制作公司将其电影和电视原声带录音带到纳什维尔，包括网飞、索尼和焦点影业)”可知，纳什维尔被称作原声音乐城市的原因是它在原声音乐上所取得的成就。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Kris Bowers is the remarkable composer behind the award-winning film “Green Book”. He came to Ocean Way Nashville Recording Studios and successfully recorded the soundtrack for “Madden NFL 20”. (Kris Bowers是获奖电影《绿皮书》背后的杰出作曲家。他来到纳什维尔海洋之路录音室，成功为《麦登橄榄球20》录制了原声音乐)”可知，Kris Bowers为获奖电影《绿皮书》录制了原声音乐。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“He is president of music for Electronic Arts (EA), a video game company. (他是电子游戏公司艺电 (EA) 的音乐总裁)”可知，Schnur现在是在EA，他是一个为视频游戏录制音乐的领导者。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Kris Bowers is the remarkable composer behind the award-winning film “Green Book”. He came to Ocean Way Nashville Recording Studios and successfully recorded the soundtrack for “Madden NFL 20”. (Kris Bowers是获奖电影《绿皮书》背后的杰出作曲家。他来到纳什维尔海洋之路录音室，成功地为《麦登橄榄球20》录制了原声带) ”可知，此处提到了Kris Bowers的杰出成就，并且克里斯·鲍尔斯在纳什维尔录制原声带，由此可以看出纳什维尔在音乐上也有所成就，即强调了纳什维尔在音乐上的成功。故选D。 D One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. It is absolutely the case in Turkey where garbage collectors started collecting books that have been thrown away and ended up opening a library. It started when garbage man Durson Ipek found a bag of abandoned books when he was working and then it snowballed from there. Ipek and other garbage men started gathering the books they found on the streets that were ready for landfills (垃圾填埋地) and as their collection started to grow, so did word of mouth. Soon, local residents started donating books directly. The library was initially available only to the garbage employees and their families to use but as the collection grew, so did public interest and the library was opened to the public in 2017. “On the one hand, there were those who were leaving these books on the streets. On the other hand, others were looking for these books,” Ankaya mayor Alper Tasdelen told CNN. “We started to discuss the idea of creating a library from these books. When everyone supported it, this project happened.” All the books that are found are sorted and checked for condition. If they pass, they go on the shelves. Today, the library has over 6,000 books that range from fiction to nonfiction and there’s a very popular children’s section that even has a collection of comic books. An entire section is devoted to scientific research and there are also books available in English and French. The collection has grown so large that the library loans books to schools and educational programs. “Village school teachers from all over Turkey are requesting books,” Tasdelen told CNN. The government has to hire a full-time employee to manage the library. This library is incredibly popular. It is frequently filled with the children of the city’s workers and students from nearby schools. There is a waiting room set up for readers and chess boards for the people who visit the library. You can even enjoy a cup of tea in the waiting room. 12. What does the underlined word “snowballed” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Grew slowly. B. Developed rapidly. C. Declined quickly. D. Worsened gradually. 13. What do we know about the library? A. You can’t find novels in the library. B. There are only books in Chinese and English. C. All the books that are found will go on the shelves. D Schools and educational programs can borrow books from the library. 14. Why did the government hire a full-time employee? A. To raise people’s awareness of recycling. B. To classify and check the donated books. C. To meet the huge demand from rural teachers. D. To expand the social influence of the library. 15. What can be inferred about the library from the last paragraph? A. It provides a very considerate service. B. It’s crowded with readers every day. C. It needs to improve its management. D. It’s an excellent place to enjoy tea. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了垃圾收集者收集丢弃书籍并建造了一家图书馆的故事。文章旨在引导学生关注环境问题，树立废物循环利用的环保意识。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线单词所在句中的“It started when garbage man Durson Ipek found a bag of abandoned books (事情的起因是清洁工德森·伊佩克发现了一袋被遗弃的书)”可知，刚开始Durson Ipek只是发现了一袋被丢弃的书；再结合第二段第二句中的“as their collection started to grow, so did word of mouth. (随着他们的收藏开始增加，口碑也越来越好。)”可知，图书馆收藏的书越来越多，并且口碑也越来越好。由此可以推断出，画线单词“snowballed”应指图书馆的快速发展。故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“The collection has grown so large that the library loans books to schools and educational programs. (藏书越来越多，以至于图书馆把书借给学校和教育项目。)”可知，学校和教育项目可以从图书馆借书。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段““Village school teachers from all over Turkey are requesting books,” Tasdelen told CNN. The government has to hire a full-time employee to manage the library. (塔斯德伦告诉CNN：“来自土耳其各地的乡村学校老师都在索要书籍。”政府必须雇用一名全职雇员来管理图书馆)”可推知，乡村学校的教师经常会前往图书馆借书，因此，政府不得不雇用一位全职员工来管理图书馆，以满足教师对书籍的需求。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“There is a waiting room set up for readers and chess boards for the people who visit the library. You can even enjoy a cup of tea in the waiting room. (图书馆为读者设置了一个候诊室，为参观图书馆的人设置了棋盘。你甚至可以在等候室喝杯茶)”可推知，该图书馆为读者提供了非常周到的服务。故选A。 第二节(共5小题，每小题2.5分，共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。 How often do you eat chocolate?

As a teenager, I was fickle (反复无常的). I would like one thing for a week and then hate it the next. But I was constantly searching for the beginning of the rainbow. Changing my dream from a vet to an astronaut, I thought there were various options available to me. However, my parents would shake their heads and repeatedly asked me such questions as, “Why can’t you be more like your sisters? What are you going to do with your life? Aren’t you interested in anything at all?” After a couple of shrugs (耸肩), my parents usually stopped talking. I was not sure if they gave up or anticipated my dull reactions. I often responded, “I couldn’t answer all of your questions now.” Actually, my parents just had high expectations that never seemed to be fulfilled. Plus, like other parents, they just wanted to give the best to me and expected me to achieve success. The arguments with my parents seemed childish. One day, my mother made her thoughts clear, “Your grades aren’t high enough. No schools are going to want you, dear. We didn’t pay so much money for nothing.” Hesitating for a while, I said, “No matter what you say, I believe I will enter a good college.” Still, I let my emotions control myself. Certainly, I had never planned not to go to college. After another debate with my mom, I decided to make a change. No longer would I sit back and let my parents mistake me for a bad boy. It was time to take action. I knew it was a crucial year at high school. Releasing my feelings, I began to collect all the knowledge I had learned and review it with all my heart. I didn’t argue with my parents any more, but instead turned to my sisters for help and tried my best to study. Finally, I took the national college entrance examination with ease and confidence. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 A few days later, I received a call from my school, saying my college acceptance letter had arrived. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ My parents excitedly said behind me, “Well, open the envelop!” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】A few days later, I received a call from my school, saying my college acceptance letter had arrived. Then I hurried to the school with my parents. It was beyond my wildest dream till that moment. As a matter of fact, I doubted then whether I was in the dream. I normally dreaded the long walk to the school. But that day was different. There seemed to be something in the air, an electric current, connecting my body to the letter. When I got it, I was really afraid that the envelop was empty. But there was a white package inside. With my heart beating faster, I wondered whether it could really be what was expected. My parents excitedly said behind me, “Well, open the envelop!” What I grabbed in my hands contained everything I had been waiting for. Slowly, I opened it and a flash of CONGRATULATIONS in bold bright letters caught my eyes. A feeling of happiness and relief rushed through my body. I was holding my first offer from a good college. Needless to say, it wouldn’t have been possible if it weren’t for the countless hours of studying and writing, but most importantly, my parents’ constant reminders, in fact, were the best form of education for me. “Thank you, Mom and Dad!” I said gratefully. 【解析】 【导语】本篇文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者一直处于两个姐姐的阴影下，她们从小就计划好自己的生活，而作者一直在变化，不知自己人生打算是什么，这让父母非常焦急；在和母亲的又一次争论之后，作者决定做出改变，不再和父母争吵，而是向姐姐们求助，努力学习，最终拿到了一所好大学的录取通知书，这时作者也意识到父母不断的提醒是最好的教育形式。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“几天后，我接到学校的电话，说我的大学录取通知书已经到了。”可知，第一段可描写作者和父母去学校取录取通知书以及作者拿到录取通知书时的感受。 ②由第二段首句内容“我的父母兴奋地在我身后说：‘好，打开信封吧！’可知，第二段可描写作者打开信封看到录取通知书的过程和感受，以及对自己努力与父母不断的提醒的教育方式的感谢。 2. 续写线索：去学校——拿到录取通知书——打开信封——看到录取通知书——对父母的感谢 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①急匆匆赶去学校：hurried to the school/went to school hurriedly ②怀疑：doubt/have some doubt ③抓住：grab/grasp 情绪类 ①害怕，担心：be afraid /fear ②感到高兴、轻松：a feeling of happiness and relief rushed through one’s body/a sense of happiness and relief crept over sb/sb felt happy and relieved ③感谢：say gratefully/say thankfully 【点睛】【高分句型1】When I got it, I was really afraid that the envelop was empty.

Because of his fame, people from nearby towns who heard of his arrival all came to visit and seek his advice. Many who came sought help with difficulties in daily life, and Thomas, unable to bear turning them away, patiently offered suggestions. Word spread quickly, and more and more people came to see Thomas, for guidance. One day, dozens of people crowded outside Thomas’s door, all clamoring (大声地要求) that their problems were the most serious and urgent, each insisting that Thomas’ address their concerns first, with no one willing to yield (让步). After a moment of thought, Thomas took out some paper and a pen and said, “I can’t hear clearly with everyone talking at once. How about everyone write down your problem on a piece of paper and place it in this basket beside me?” Once everyone had placed their notes in the basket, Thomas shook the basket and said, “Please each take a piece of paper from the basket and read what it says.” As everyone read a note from someone else, they all realized that indeed, each person has their own troubles, and every household has its own challenges. Then Thomas spoke up, “Now, whose problem is the most urgent to solve?” Hearing that question, no one spoke again, because now no one dared to claim that their problem was the most severe. Often, we are bound by our immediate feelings. When difficulties and problems strike, it feels as though we are caught in a vortex of pain. But if we shift our focus from ourselves and look towards others, we might discover that the problems we face are not so significant. Perhaps others are the ones who need help more urgently, or maybe there is something within our power that we can do for them. 4. Why did people visit Thomas? A. For advice. B. For a meeting. C. For a competition. D. For introductions. 5. How did Thomas handle the crowd? A. He ignored them. B. He listened to each one individually. C. He prioritized the problems himself. D. He asked them to write down their problems. 6. What did reading others’ problems show to the people? A. The complexity of their difficulties. B. The similarity of their situations. C. Their need for more advice. D. Their living conditions. 7. What is the main purpose of this passage? A. Everyone should solve their own problems B. Other people’s problems may be worse than yours C. Shifting focus can lessen our pain D. A wise person can solve all problems C Nashville, Tennessee is already known to many Americans as Music City, which is famous for country music in the United States and is home to many recording companies. But recently, music recorded for video games, television shows and movies has earned Nashville a new name: Soundtrack (原声音乐) City. The city is known for very good studio musicians. They work mostly on recordings rather than live performances. Musicians in Nashville have helped to make the soundtracks for some of the most popular video games in the US. These include “Madden”, “FIFA” and “Star Wars”. Also, more production companies have been bringing their film and TV soundtrack recordings to Nashville, including Netflix, Sony and Focus Features. A program the state of Tennessee established last year gives financial support to companies for doing business in the city. “Nashville has become one of the major places in the world to record for films, games and television,” Steve Schnur told the Associated Press. He is president of music for Electronic Arts (EA), a video game company. In the past, Schnur worked for MTV and music production companies such as Arista. He also worked as a music supervisor on films before joining EA. For a long time, EA recorded soundtracks for their games with orchestras, or large groups of musicians, in Los Angeles, London and Eastern Europe. That changed about seven years ago when Schnur came to Nashville to record music for a game called “Dragon Age Inquisition”. “I work with the musicians in Nashville now. They are both fast and skilled, ” Schnur added. This proved true even on complex songs written by well-known composers such as Hans Zimmer, Lorne Balfe, Jeff Russo and John Debney. The music of video games is often very important to the gameplay in creating both emotion and attachment to the storyline. Kris Bowers is the remarkable composer behind the award-winning film “Green Book”. He came to Ocean Way Nashville Recording Studios and successfully recorded the soundtrack for “Madden NFL 20”. 8. What makes Nashville called Soundtrack City? A. The achievement in soundtrack. B. The increase in live music performance. C. The film production. D. The record of country music. 9. For which film did Kris Bowers record the award-winning soundtrack? A. “Dragon Age Inquisition” B. “Green Book” C. “Madden NFL 20” D. “Star Wars” 10. What does Schnur do now? A. He is a musician from Los Angeles. B. He is president of the Associated Press. C. He is a music supervisor on films in Arista. D. He is a leader recording music for video games in EA. 11 Why does the author mention Kris Bowers in the last paragraph? A. To show the popularity of folk music. B. To attach importance to video games. C. To introduce his award-winning film. D. To stress Nashville’s musical success. D One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. It is absolutely the case in Turkey where garbage collectors started collecting books that have been thrown away and ended up opening a library. It started when garbage man Durson Ipek found a bag of abandoned books when he was working and then it snowballed from there. Ipek and other garbage men started gathering the books they found on the streets that were ready for landfills (垃圾填埋地) and as their collection started to grow, so did word of mouth. Soon, local residents started donating books directly. The library was initially available only to the garbage employees and their families to use but as the collection grew, so did public interest and the library was opened to the public in 2017. “On the one hand, there were those who were leaving these books on the streets. On the other hand, others were looking for these books,” Ankaya mayor Alper Tasdelen told CNN. “We started to discuss the idea of creating a library from these books. When everyone supported it, this project happened.” All the books that are found are sorted and checked for condition. If they pass they go on the shelves. Today, the library has over 6,000 books that range from fiction to nonfiction and there’s a very popular children’s section that even has a collection of comic books. An entire section is devoted to scientific research and there are also books available in English and French. The collection has grown so large that the library loans books to schools and educational programs. “Village school teachers from all over Turkey are requesting books,” Tasdelen told CNN. The government has to hire a full-time employee to manage the library. This library is incredibly popular.

As a teenager, I was fickle (反复无常的). I would like one thing for a week and then hate it the next. But I was constantly searching for the beginning of the rainbow. Changing my dream from a vet to an astronaut, I thought there were various options available to me. However, my parents would shake their heads and repeatedly asked me such questions as, “Why can’t you be more like your sisters? What are you going to do with your life? Aren’t you interested in anything at all?” After a couple of shrugs (耸肩), my parents usually stopped talking. I was not sure if they gave up or anticipated my dull reactions. I often responded, “I couldn’t answer all of your questions now.” Actually, my parents just had high expectations that never seemed to be fulfilled. Plus, like other parents, they just wanted to give the best to me and expected me to achieve success. The arguments with my parents seemed childish. One day, my mother made her thoughts clear, “Your grades aren’t high enough. No schools are going to want you, dear. We didn’t pay so much money for nothing.” Hesitating for a while, I said, “No matter what you say, I believe I will enter a good college.” Still, I let my emotions control myself. Certainly, I had never planned not to go to college. After another debate with my mom, I decided to make a change. No longer would I sit back and let my parents mistake me for a bad boy. It was time to take action. I knew it was a crucial year at high school. Releasing my feelings, I began to collect all the knowledge I had learned and review it with all my heart. I didn’t argue with my parents any more, but instead turned to my sisters for help and tried my best to study. Finally, I took the national college entrance examination with ease and confidence. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 A few days later, I received a call from my school, saying my college acceptance letter had arrived. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ My parents excitedly said behind me, “Well, open the envelop!” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
