But where to begin? Follow this step-by-step guide and writing tips to polish your creative writing skills. Step 1: Determine Your Setting Location is a very useful tool in novel-building. You should treat it as you would treat a character, allowing it to convey mood and letting it reveal more of itself over time. By selecting locations that excite you, you can transform relatively dull (乏味的) scenes into more attractive ones. Location can also provide the inspiration for scenes and can even shape the course of your story. All the research you conducted in the first phase of writing will come in handy during your first draft, when you find yourself needing to describe a particular street, park, or other scene set somewhere previously unfamiliar to you. Step 2: Make Memorable Characters Character and event are inseparable (不可分离的), because a person is what happens to them. Your job as a writer is to learn about your character by observing how they interact with the world around them. Characters — like real people — have hobbies, pets, histories, etc. It’s essential to your novel that you understand these aspects of your character so that you are equipped to understand how they may react under the pressures of events they encounter. Step 3: Understand the 2 Types of Conflict Every story is made up of both events and characters. A story happens because a pattern is interrupted. If you are writing about a day that is like any other day, it is most likely a routine, not a story. In order to be a story, something has to happen. We call what happens in a novel the plot. There are two types of conflict: 1. Internal conflict (a threat from within) 2. External conflict (a threat from outside) Both types of conflict create tension in a narrative (叙述) and help move the story forward. Conflict drives character development as well as plot. Your plot will develop naturally if you give your character a motivation, then throw obstacles (阻碍) in her way. 36. Which of the following statements about the location is TRUE? A. Location has nothing to do with shaping the story. B. Choosing a location you’re unfamiliar with will excite you. C. Location and character are of equal importance. D. The role of location is mainly reflected in the first draft. 37. According to the passage how to make memorable characters? A. By putting pressure on them. B. By watching them interact with the world around them. C. By creating unique scenes. D. By ignoring the characteristics of the characters and their environment. 38. What do we learn about from Paragraph 4? A. A story consists only of characters. B. Every day in a story is the same experience. C. Not all stories are made up of events and characters. D. A story is different from a routine, 39. The role of conflict in a story is to ________. A. drive the characters mad. B. create and drive the plot forward. C. introduce more characters naturally. D. set difficulties in the character’s way. 40. Where is the passage probably taken from? A. A learning website. B. A story book. C. A science fiction. D. A business magazine. B My birth was a little more dramatic than the standard way a baby enters the world. Within minutes of coming out, I was moved away into another room while doctors gave my parents the difficult news: I was born missing my left hand. I’m sure it was quite shocking for them. An entire hand was just…not there? Indeed, that announcement of my limb (肢体) difference would come to define the rest of my life, and it might have been a disaster if it hadn’t been for what happened next. I’m told that a nurse bundled (捆绑) me up, took me back into the room, placed me in my mother’s arms and instructed: “You will take her home. You will love her. You will raise her like you would any child. You will treat her as normal.” My parents took that words seriously, and for the most part, it was great. I played sports, acted in theater, excelled in school, participated in student government and had playdates with friends. While I did get some stares and “polite” questions about my disability, I am lucky because I wasn’t made fun of for my limb difference. That fact that I was different hit me hard my first day of high school. I was 13, an age when kids are already very self-conscious. I remember getting on the school bus and one of the other kids stared just a little too long at my left arm. The staring unnerved (使感到不安) me in a way it never had before, and I felt a sudden urge to hide my hand, so I slipped it into my pocket. I told myself that I’d just hide it that one day, while I was trying to make friends. But one day of hiding turned into a week, which turned into a month, which became years — 25 of them to be exact. I spent the next two decades keeping my limb difference hidden at all times. I’d keep it in my pocket, cover it with extra-long sleeves or hide it behind bags or underneath jackets. Everyone I shared this with — friend, co-worker or boyfriend — took it well and said kind things like, “You shouldn’t hide it” or “It’s no big deal.” But their words didn’t matter to me. Interestingly enough, it was a date that convinced me to stop hiding my limb difference. When I was 38 years old, exhausted of hiding and so lonely, I met someone special. The combination of me finally feeling ready to unhide and his willingness to go through the unhiding process with me was exactly what I needed. For the first time in my life, I allowed someone to really hold my limb, look at it, take pictures of it, touch it, love it — love me. From that point on, I saw my limb difference as something unique and beautiful about me, something that should be shown, not hidden. 41.

Their words did not change the author’s behavior. C. What they said had nothing to do with the author. D. What they said did not hurt the author. 44. Since when did the author keep her limb difference hidden? A. The moment she met her lover. B. The day she started high school. C. When she was trying to make friends. D. When she participated in student government. 45. What made her decide to stop hiding her limb difference? A. Tired of hiding and being so alone. B. The decision to try a new life. C. Meeting true love. D. Eating a date. C Sometimes a person loses a sense in-early childhood. Then their brain develops in a dramatically different way. Parts of the brain that are usually used for the lost sense will begin to respond to the remaining senses. This is neuroplasticity: your brain’s ability to reorganize itself. Researchers wanted to know how the brain responds to moving sounds. Does it work differently for sighted people than for people who have been blind since early childhood? Their experiment tested how people separate a moving sound from background noise. Your brain often has to separate important details from distractions. It is easy to listen to someone talk in a quiet room, but hard to listen when many people are talking at once. Researchers recruited (招募) 8 sighted participants with normal vision and 8 early blind participants. Researchers mixed a recording of a sound moving from one side to the other with random bursts of static noise (静电噪音). Participants listened to the mixture of noise and sounds. They tried to tell what direction the sound was moving in. Each participant did the test 6,000 times! Their results suggest that early blind people are very good at tuning out background noise. Researchers can guess this is probably true for people born blind, too. This might be because they have lots of practice using sound to identify motion. Another reason may be neuroplasticity. The brain does a lot of reorganizing itself during early childhood. Maybe parts of the brain that are normally used for vision get used for hearing instead. When a person loses a sense, they do not suddenly receive super senses. It can be frustrating for a blind person when people assume that. Being blind doesn’t mean they will have an amazing sense of smell or hearing. It is a myth (荒诞的说法) that the loss of one sense makes the others stronger. Blind people have the same kind of ears as sighted people — so they aren’t any better at hearing quiet sounds. However, they do learn to expertly use sound to navigate (导航) the world. So, there is a bit of truth in the myth — the brain does learn how to use the other senses more skillfully. It is amazing how the brain can adapt! 46. According to Paragraph 1, what happens if a person loses a sense as a child? A. The brain starts to re-identify itself. B. The brain will have the ability to reorganize itself. C. The relevant part of the brain responds to the rest of the senses. D. Parts of the brain stop developing dramatically. 47. According to Paragraph 2, what’s the purpose of the experiment? A. To test how people separate a moving sound from background noise. B. To know the difference between the sighted and the blind. C. To figure out how the brain responds to moving sounds. D. To help brain separate important details from distractions. 48. What does the author intend to tell us in Paragraph 3? A. The author wants to illustrate the difficulty of the whole experiment. B. The author wants to emphasize the importance of experiment. C. The author wants us to know how many people participated in the experiment. D. The author wants to introduce the method of experiment to us. 49. What conclusion can be drawn from Paragraph 4? A. Neuroplasticity helps the brain adapt to early loss of vision. B. The myth that the loss of one sense makes the others stronger is entirely true. C. Blind people have the same ears as normal people. D. People who lose their sight early are good at ignoring background noise. 50. What could be the best title for the passage? A What is Neuroplasticity? B. The Loss of One Sense Makes the Others Stronger C. How Does the Brain Adapt to Blindness? D. Our Brain Develops in A Dramatically Different Way D Fish often travel in schools. How and why each fish does what it does is what makes their schooling so puzzling to scientists. Now scientists think they have a clue as to why schooling is so common. It saves the fish energy—lots of energy. A new study has compared the energy a fish uses as it swims. And moving in a school reduced the energy a fish used by more than half compared to when it swam alone, it found. “The whole idea of measuring what it costs animals to move is an important one,” says George Lauder, a fish biologist at Harvard University in Cambridge, Mass., and an author of the new study. Many physiologists have been looking into this for years, he notes. “This is the first paper, I think, that’s really measured that comprehensively.” Lauder and Zhang, also at Harvard, worked with giant danio, small fish that love to swim. Sometimes the team put eight at a time into a water tank shaped a bit like a racetrack. Other times, they just put in a single fish. The danio didn’t loop (绕圈) around the tank like race cars. Instead, they swam in one spot, like a runner on a treadmill (跑步机), as a motor pushed the tank’s water around, creating a current. As the fish swam, a special device called a respirometer (呼吸器) measured how much oxygen they used. Oxygen helps to fuel muscles. For example, people who sprint (短跑) use a lot of oxygen. Afterward, they often need a few minutes to recover and catch their breath. Here, the researchers used oxygen as a gauge (测量标准) of how much energy the fish used to swim in place. Researchers filmed giant danio in an experimental flow tank to study their movements and energy use. To make them swim fast—like a sprinter—the researchers increased the speed of the circulating water current. When they slowed the water, the fish slowed too. Schooling fish used less oxygen than when they swam alone. And, they took less time to recover from a sprint. In other words, they had an easier time “catching their breath” after schooling. By schooling, fish can save their energy for other important things, says Frank Fish. He works at West Chester University in Pennsylvania, where he studies the dynamics of motion in animals. For instance, if fish are young, they can put that energy into growth. As adults, they can use it to reproduce or to avoid predators (捕食者). 51. In writing Paragraph 1, the author aims to ________. A. raise a question. B. make a comparison. C. propose a definition. D. present an argument. 52. According to Paragraph 2, what is the key to the study? A. Reducing the energy a fish uses while swimming. B. How to force the fish to swim in schools. C. Measuring the cost of animal movement. D. How to measure fish swimming habits comprehensively. 53. What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A. Giant danio loves to swim in circle. B. It was no way to measure how much oxygen the danio consumed. C. The danio usually swam in a fixed spot. D. The danio used little energy while sprinting. 54. What is the author’s purpose in writing Paragraph 4? A. To stress the necessity of this experiment. B. To clarify the experimental method and result. C. To suggest a way to measure the energy used by fish. D. To emphasize the importance of the experiment. 55. What makes the best title for the passage? A. An Experiment with Giant Danio. B. Swimming in Schools Lets Fish Save Lots of Energy. C. How does Giant Danio Swim? D. Giant Danio Likes Travelling in Schools. 第Ⅱ卷 注意事项：1.用黑色墨水的钢笔或签字笔将答案写在答题卡上。 2.本卷共6题，共35分。 第三部分：写作 第一节：阅读下面短文，按照要求用英语回答问题。（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读表达 Once a father and son went to the kite flying festival: The young son became very happy seeing the sky filled with colorful kites. He too asked his father to get him a kite and a thread with a roller so he can fly a kite too. So, the father went to the shop at the park where the festival was being held. He purchased kites and a roll of thread for his son. His son started to fly a kite. Soon, his kite reached high up in the sky. After a while, the son said, “Father, it seems that the thread is holding up a kite from flying higher, if we break it, it will be free and will go flying even higher. Can we break it?” So, the father cut the thread from a roller. The kite started to go a little higher. That made the son very happy. But then, slowly, the-kite started to come down. And, soon-it-fell down on the terrace (露台) of the unknown building. The young son was surprised to see this. He had cut the kite loose of its thread so it can fly higher, but instead, it fell down. He asked his father, “Father, I thought that by cutting off the thread, the kite would be free to fly higher. But why did it fall down?” The father explained, “Son, at the height of life that we live in, we often think that some things we are tied with and they are preventing us from going further higher. The thread was not holding the kite from going higher, but it was helping it stay higher when the wind slowed down and when the wind picked up, you helped the kite go up higher in a proper direction through the thread. And when we cut the thread, it fell down without the support you were providing to the kite through the thread.” The son realized his mistake. Sometimes we feel that we can progress quickly and reach to the newer heights in our life if we were not tied up with our family, our home. But, we fail to realize that our family, our loved ones help us survive the tough time in our lives with their support and encourage us to reach higher heights in our life. They are not holding us, but are supporting us. Never let go of them. 56. Why did the son want to cut the thread?

But where to begin? Follow this step-by-step guide and writing tips to polish your creative writing skills. Step 1: Determine Your Setting Location is a very useful tool in novel-building. You should treat it as you would treat a character, allowing it to convey mood and letting it reveal more of itself over time. By selecting locations that excite you, you can transform relatively dull (乏味的) scenes into more attractive ones. Location can also provide the inspiration for scenes and can even shape the course of your story. All the research you conducted in the first phase of writing will come in handy during your first draft, when you find yourself needing to describe a particular street, park, or other scene set somewhere previously unfamiliar to you. Step 2: Make Memorable Characters Character and event are inseparable (不可分离的), because a person is what happens to them. Your job as a writer is to learn about your character by observing how they interact with the world around them. Characters — like real people — have hobbies, pets, histories, etc. It’s essential to your novel that you understand these aspects of your character so that you are equipped to understand how they may react under the pressures of events they encounter. Step 3: Understand the 2 Types of Conflict Every story is made up of both events and characters. A story happens because a pattern is interrupted. If you are writing about a day that is like any other day, it is most likely a routine, not a story. In order to be a story, something has to happen. We call what happens in a novel the plot. There are two types of conflict: 1. Internal conflict (a threat from within) 2. External conflict (a threat from outside) Both types of conflict create tension in a narrative (叙述) and help move the story forward. Conflict drives character development as well as plot. Your plot will develop naturally if you give your character a motivation, then throw obstacles (阻碍) in her way. 36 Which of the following statements about the location is TRUE? A. Location has nothing to do with shaping the story. B. Choosing a location you’re unfamiliar with will excite you. C. Location and character are of equal importance. D. The role of location is mainly reflected in the first draft. 37. According to the passage how to make memorable characters? A. By putting pressure on them. B. By watching them interact with the world around them. C. By creating unique scenes. D. By ignoring the characteristics of the characters and their environment. 38. What do we learn about from Paragraph 4? A. A story consists only of characters. B. Every day in a story is the same experience. C. Not all stories are made up of events and characters. D. A story is different from a routine, 39. The role of conflict in a story is to ________. A. drive the characters mad. B. create and drive the plot forward. C. introduce more characters naturally. D. set difficulties in the character’s way. 40. Where is the passage probably taken from? A. A learning website. B. A story book. C. A science fiction. D. A business magazine. 【答案】36. C 37. B 38. D 39. B 40. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了如何写小说的建议，包括确定情节、塑造人物、理解冲突等步骤和要点。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“Location is a very useful tool in novel-building. You should treat it as you would treat a character(地点在小说创作中是一个非常有用的工具。你应该像对待角色一样对待它)”可知，地点和角色同等重要。故选C。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Your job as a writer is to learn about your character by observing how they interact with the world around them(作为作家的任务是通过观察角色如何与周围世界互动来了解他们)”可知，通过观察角色与世界的互动可以塑造令人难忘的角色。故选B。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“If you are writing about a day that is like any other day, it is most likely a routine, not a story. In order to be a story, something has to happen. We call what happens in a novel the plot(如果你写的是和其他日子一样的一天，那很可能是例行公事，而不是故事。为了成为一个故事，必须有事情发生。我们称小说中发生的事情为情节)”可知，故事与日常生活不同。故选D。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Conflict drives character development as well as plot(冲突推动角色发展和情节发展)”可知，冲突在故事中的作用是推动情节向前发展。故选B。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章内容以及第一段“It’s certainly exciting to think about all the different options that could be explored in a story. But where to begin? Follow this step-by-step guide and writing tips to polish your creative writing skills.(想到在一个故事中可以探索的所有不同选择当然令人兴奋。但是从哪里开始呢？按照这个循序渐进的指南和写作技巧来提高你的创造性写作技巧)”可知，文章详细介绍了小说创作的步骤和技巧。可以推断这篇文章可能来自学习网站，帮助读者提升写作技能。故选A。 B My birth was a little more dramatic than the standard way a baby enters the world. Within minutes of coming out, I was moved away into another room while doctors gave my parents the difficult news: I was born missing my left hand. I’m sure it was quite shocking for them. An entire hand was just…not there? Indeed, that announcement of my limb (肢体) difference would come to define the rest of my life, and it might have been a disaster if it hadn’t been for what happened next. I’m told that a nurse bundled (捆绑) me up, took me back into the room, placed me in my mother’s arms and instructed: “You will take her home. You will love her. You will raise her like you would any child. You will treat her as normal.” My parents took that words seriously, and for the most part, it was great. I played sports, acted in theater, excelled in school, participated in student government and had playdates with friends. While I did get some stares and “polite” questions about my disability, I am lucky because I wasn’t made fun of for my limb difference. That fact that I was different hit me hard my first day of high school. I was 13, an age when kids are already very self-conscious. I remember getting on the school bus and one of the other kids stared just a little too long at my left arm. The staring unnerved (使感到不安) me in a way it never had before, and I felt a sudden urge to hide my hand, so I slipped it into my pocket. I told myself that I’d just hide it that one day, while I was trying to make friends. But one day of hiding turned into a week, which turned into a month, which became years — 25 of them to be exact. I spent the next two decades keeping my limb difference hidden at all times. I’d keep it in my pocket, cover it with extra-long sleeves or hide it behind bags or underneath jackets. Everyone I shared this with — friend, co-worker or boyfriend — took it well and said kind things like, “You shouldn’t hide it” or “It’s no big deal.” But their words didn’t matter to me. Interestingly enough, it was a date that convinced me to stop hiding my limb difference. When I was 38 years old, exhausted of hiding and so lonely, I met someone special. The combination of me finally feeling ready to unhide and his willingness to go through the unhiding process with me was exactly what I needed. For the first time in my life, I allowed someone to really hold my limb, look at it, take pictures of it, touch it, love it — love me. From that point on, I saw my limb difference as something unique and beautiful about me, something that should be shown, not hidden. 41. What was the difference between the author’s birth and other ordinary children? A. She was a natural for drama. B. She was born in an unusual way. C. She was born without a left hand. D. The manner of her birth shocked her parents. 42. How did the author feel about what the nurse said to her parents when she was born? A. Grateful. B. Thrilled. C. Regrotful. D. Doubtful. 43. The underlined sentence “But their words didn’t matter to me.” in Paragraph 5 can be understood as ________. A. The author didn’t care about anything people say around her. B. Their words did not change the author’s behavior. C. What they said had nothing to do with the author. D. What they said did not hurt the author. 44. Since when did the author keep her limb difference hidden? A. The moment she met her lover. B. The day she started high school. C. When she was trying to make friends. D. When she participated in student government. 45. What made her decide to stop hiding her limb difference? A. Tired of hiding and being so alone. B. The decision to try a new life. C. Meeting true love. D. Eating a date. 【答案】41. C 42. A 43. B 44. B 45. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是记叙文。作者出生时缺失左手，她的父母在医生的劝说下养育她如正常孩子。虽然在高中开始时因自卑而隐藏缺陷，但在38岁时因遇到了愿意陪同的伴侣，她决定不再隐藏自身的肢体差异。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“I was born missing my left hand. (我出生时缺少左手)”可知，作者与普通孩子的不同在于她缺少左手。故选C。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“I’m told that a nurse bundled me up, took me back into the room, placed me in my mother’s arms and instructed: “You will take her home. You will love her. You will raise her like you would any child. You will treat her as normal.(我被告知，一位护士把我裹得严严实实，带我回到房间，把我放在母亲的怀里，然后指示说：“你带她回家。”你会爱上她的。你要像抚养任何孩子一样抚养她。你要像对待正常人一样对待她)”以及根据第三段“My parents took that words seriously, and for the most part, it was great. (我的父母把这句话当真了，在很大程度上，这句话很棒)”可知，作者对护士的话感到感激。故选A。 【43题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段“I spent the next two decades keeping my limb difference hidden at all times.

(我与众不同的事实在我高中的第一天给了我很大的打击)”以及“The staring unnerved me in a way it never had before, and I felt a sudden urge to hide my hand, so I slipped it into my pocket. I told myself that I’d just hide it that one day, while I was trying to make friends. (这种凝视让我感到前所未有的不安，我突然想隐藏自己的手，于是我把它放入口袋。我告诉自己，我那天只是想交朋友时才隐藏的)”可知，作者在开始高中时就开始隐藏自己的肢体差异。故选B。 【45题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Interestingly enough, it was a date that convinced me to stop hiding my limb difference. When I was 38 years old, exhausted of hiding and so lonely, I met someone special. (有趣的是，正是这次约会说服了我不再隐瞒自己的肢体差异。当我38岁的时候，厌倦了隐藏和如此孤独，我遇到了一个特别的人)”可知，她决定不再隐藏自己的肢体差异是因为遇到了真爱。故选C。 C Sometimes a person loses a sense in-early childhood. Then their brain develops in a dramatically different way. Parts of the brain that are usually used for the lost sense will begin to respond to the remaining senses. This is neuroplasticity: your brain’s ability to reorganize itself. Researchers wanted to know how the brain responds to moving sounds. Does it work differently for sighted people than for people who have been blind since early childhood? Their experiment tested how people separate a moving sound from background noise. Your brain often has to separate important details from distractions. It is easy to listen to someone talk in a quiet room, but hard to listen when many people are talking at once. Researchers recruited (招募) 8 sighted participants with normal vision and 8 early blind participants. Researchers mixed a recording of a sound moving from one side to the other with random bursts of static noise (静电噪音). Participants listened to the mixture of noise and sounds. They tried to tell what direction the sound was moving in. Each participant did the test 6,000 times! Their results suggest that early blind people are very good at tuning out background noise. Researchers can guess this is probably true for people born blind, too. This might be because they have lots of practice using sound to identify motion. Another reason may be neuroplasticity. The brain does a lot of reorganizing itself during early childhood. Maybe parts of the brain that are normally used for vision get used for hearing instead. When a person loses a sense, they do not suddenly receive super senses. It can be frustrating for a blind person when people assume that. Being blind doesn’t mean they will have an amazing sense of smell or hearing. It is a myth (荒诞的说法) that the loss of one sense makes the others stronger. Blind people have the same kind of ears as sighted people — so they aren’t any better at hearing quiet sounds. However, they do learn to expertly use sound to navigate (导航) the world. So, there is a bit of truth in the myth — the brain does learn how to use the other senses more skillfully. It is amazing how the brain can adapt! 46. According to Paragraph 1, what happens if a person loses a sense as a child? A. The brain starts to re-identify itself. B. The brain will have the ability to reorganize itself. C. The relevant part of the brain responds to the rest of the senses. D. Parts of the brain stop developing dramatically. 47. According to Paragraph 2, what’s the purpose of the experiment? A. To test how people separate a moving sound from background noise. B. To know the difference between the sighted and the blind. C. To figure out how the brain responds to moving sounds. D.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了大脑如何适应失明。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Sometimes a person loses a sense in-early childhood. Then their brain develops in a dramatically different way. Parts of the brain that are usually used for the lost sense will begin to respond to the remaining senses.(有时，一个人在童年早期就失去了知觉。然后他们的大脑以截然不同的方式发育。大脑中通常用于失去感觉的部分将开始对剩余的感觉做出反应)”可知，如果一个人小时候失去了知觉大脑的相关部分对其余感官做出反应。故选C。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Researchers wanted to know how the brain responds to moving sounds.(研究人员想知道大脑如何对移动的声音做出反应)”可知，实验的目的是弄清楚大脑如何对移动的声音做出反应。故选C。 【48题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Researchers recruited (招募) 8 sighted participants with normal vision and 8 early blind participants. Researchers mixed a recording of a sound moving from one side to the other with random bursts of static noise (静电噪音). Participants listened to the mixture of noise and sounds. They tried to tell what direction the sound was moving in. Each participant did the test 6,000 times!(研究人员招募了 8 名视力正常的视力正常参与者和 8 名早期失明参与者。研究人员将声音从一侧移动到另一侧的录音与随机爆发的静态噪声混合在一起。参与者聆听噪音和声音的混合物。他们试图判断声音的传播方向。每个参与者都做了 6000 次测试！)”可知，作者在第三段想向我们介绍实验方法。故选D。 49题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Their results suggest that early blind people are very good at tuning out background noise. Researchers can guess this is probably true for people born blind, too. This might be because they have lots of practice using sound to identify motion. Another reason may be neuroplasticity. (他们的研究结果表明，早期盲人非常善于消除背景噪音。研究人员猜测，这对于天生失明的人来说可能也是如此。这可能是因为他们有大量使用声音来识别运动的练习。另一个原因可能是神经可塑性)”可知，神经可塑性有助于大脑适应早期视力丧失。故选A。 【50题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段“When a person loses a sense, they do not suddenly receive super senses. It can be frustrating for a blind person when people assume that. Being blind doesn’t mean they will have an amazing sense of smell or hearing. It is a myth (荒诞的说法) that the loss of one sense makes the others stronger. Blind people have the same kind of ears as sighted people — so they aren’t any better at hearing quiet sounds. However, they do learn to expertly use sound to navigate (导航) the world. So, there is a bit of truth in the myth — the brain does learn how to use the other senses more skillfully. It is amazing how the brain can adapt!(当一个人失去一种感觉时，他们不会突然获得超感官。对于一个盲人来说，当人们认为。失明并不意味着他们会有惊人的嗅觉或听觉。失去一种感觉会使其他感觉更强，这是一个神话。盲人的耳朵和正常人的一样，所以他们在听到安静的声音时并没有表现得更好。然而，他们确实学会了熟练地使用声音来导航世界。所以，这个神话有一点道理——大脑确实学会了如何更熟练地使用其他感官。大脑的适应能力真是惊人！)”，结合文章开篇介绍了神经可塑性的概念，即大脑自我重组的能力。接着通过研究人员针对视力正常者和自幼失明者对移动声音反应的实验，表明自幼失明者善于排除背景噪音，分析了可能的原因，包括大量使用声音识别运动的练习以及神经可塑性，即大脑在幼儿时期的自我重组。还指出失明并不意味着其他感官会突然变强这一误解，强调失明者能熟练地利用声音来导航世界，体现了大脑对失明状况的适应。文章围绕大脑如何适应失明展开，故 “How Does the Brain Adapt to Blindness?(大脑如何适应失明？)” 作为标题最合适。故选C。 D Fish often travel in schools. How and why each fish does what it does is what makes their schooling so puzzling to scientists. Now scientists think they have a clue as to why schooling is so common. It saves the fish energy—lots of energy. A new study has compared the energy a fish uses as it swims. And moving in a school reduced the energy a fish used by more than half compared to when it swam alone, it found. “The whole idea of measuring what it costs animals to move is an important one,” says George Lauder, a fish biologist at Harvard University in Cambridge, Mass., and an author of the new study. Many physiologists have been looking into this for years, he notes. “This is the first paper, I think, that’s really measured that comprehensively.” Lauder and Zhang, also at Harvard, worked with giant danio, small fish that love to swim. Sometimes the team put eight at a time into a water tank shaped a bit like a racetrack. Other times, they just put in a single fish. The danio didn’t loop (绕圈) around the tank like race cars. Instead, they swam in one spot, like a runner on a treadmill (跑步机), as a motor pushed the tank’s water around, creating a current. As the fish swam, a special device called a respirometer (呼吸器) measured how much oxygen they used. Oxygen helps to fuel muscles. For example, people who sprint (短跑) use a lot of oxygen. Afterward, they often need a few minutes to recover and catch their breath. Here, the researchers used oxygen as a gauge (测量标准) of how much energy the fish used to swim in place. Researchers filmed giant danio in an experimental flow tank to study their movements and energy use. To make them swim fast—like a sprinter—the researchers increased the speed of the circulating water current. When they slowed the water, the fish slowed too. Schooling fish used less oxygen than when they swam alone. And, they took less time to recover from a sprint. In other words, they had an easier time “catching their breath” after schooling. By schooling, fish can save their energy for other important things, says Frank Fish. He works at West Chester University in Pennsylvania, where he studies the dynamics of motion in animals. For instance, if fish are young, they can put that energy into growth. As adults, they can use it to reproduce or to avoid predators (捕食者). 51. In writing Paragraph 1, the author aims to ________. A. raise a question. B. make a comparison. C. propose a definition. D. present an argument. 52. According to Paragraph 2 what is the key to the study? A. Reducing the energy a fish uses while swimming. B. How to force the fish to swim in schools. C. Measuring the cost of animal movement. D. How to measure fish swimming habits comprehensively. 53. What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A. Giant danio loves to swim in circle. B. It was no way to measure how much oxygen the danio consumed. C. The danio usually swam in a fixed spot. D. The danio used little energy while sprinting. 54. What is the author’s purpose in writing Paragraph 4? A. To stress the necessity of this experiment. B. To clarify the experimental method and result. C. To suggest a way to measure the energy used by fish. D. To emphasize the importance of the experiment. 55. What makes the best title for the passage? A. An Experiment with Giant Danio. B. Swimming in Schools Lets Fish Save Lots of Energy. C. How does Giant Danio Swim? D. Giant Danio Likes Travelling in Schools. 【答案】51. D 52. C 53. C 54. B 55. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家们通过实验表明鱼经常成群结队地游动是为了节省能量。 【51题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Fish often travel in schools. How and why each fish does what it does is what makes their schooling so puzzling to scientists. Now scientists think they have a clue as to why schooling is so common. It saves the fish energy—lots of energy.(鱼经常成群结队地游动。每条鱼的行为方式和原因使得科学家们对它们的鱼群行为感到困惑。现在，科学家们认为他们找到了为什么学校教育如此普遍的线索。它节省了鱼的能量——大量的能量。)”可推知，第一段作者主要提出了一个论点，故选D。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The whole idea of measuring what it costs animals to move is an important one(衡量动物移动成本的整个想法是一个重要的想法)”可知，根据第2段可知，研究的关键衡量动物移动的成本。故选C。 【53题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The danio didn’t loop (绕圈) around the tank like race cars. Instead, they swam in one spot, like a runner on a treadmill (跑步机), as a motor pushed the tank’s water around, creating a current.(丹尼奥鱼不像赛车那样绕着坦克转一圈。相反，它们在一个地方游泳，就像跑步机上的跑步者一样，电机推动水箱中的水，产生水流)”可知，达尼奥鱼通常在固定地点游泳。故选C。 【54题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Researchers filmed giant danio in an experimental flow tank to study their movements and energy use. To make them swim fast — like a sprinter — the researchers increased the speed of the circulating water current. When they slowed the water, the fish slowed too. Schooling fish used less oxygen than when they swam alone. And, they took less time to recover from a sprint. In other words, they had an easier time “catching their breath” after schooling.(研究人员在实验流动池中拍摄了巨型达尼奥鱼，以研究它们的运动和能量使用。为了让它们像短跑运动员一样游得更快，研究人员提高了循环水流的速度。当他们放慢水流速度时，鱼也放慢速度。成群的鱼比单独游动时消耗的氧气更少。而且，他们从冲刺中恢复的时间更少。换句话说，他们成群后更容易“喘口气”)”可知，作者写第4段的目的是明确实验方法和结果。故选B。 【55题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Fish often travel in schools. How and why each fish does what it does is what makes their schooling so puzzling to scientists. Now scientists think they have a clue as to why schooling is so common.

He too asked his father to get him a kite and a thread with a roller so he can fly a kite too. So, the father went to the shop at the park where the festival was being held. He purchased kites and a roll of thread for his son. His son started to fly a kite. Soon, his kite reached high up in the sky. After a while, the son said, “Father, it seems that the thread is holding up a kite from flying higher, if we break it, it will be free and will go flying even higher. Can we break it?” So, the father cut the thread from a roller. The kite started to go a little higher. That made the son very happy. But then, slowly, the-kite started to come down. And, soon-it-fell down on the terrace (露台) of the unknown building. The young son was surprised to see this. He had cut the kite loose of its thread so it can fly higher, but instead, it fell down. He asked his father, “Father, I thought that by cutting off the thread, the kite would be free to fly higher. But why did it fall down?” The father explained, “Son, at the height of life that we live in, we often think that some things we are tied with and they are preventing us from going further higher. The thread was not holding the kite from going higher, but it was helping it stay higher when the wind slowed down and when the wind picked up, you helped the kite go up higher in a proper direction through the thread. And when we cut the thread, it fell down without the support you were providing to the kite through the thread.” The son realized his mistake. Sometimes we feel that we can progress quickly and reach to the newer heights in our life if we were not tied up with our family, our home. But, we fail to realize that our family, our loved ones help us survive the tough time in our lives with their support and encourage us to reach higher heights in our life. They are not holding us, but are supporting us. Never let go of them. 56. Why did the son want to cut the thread? (no more than 12 words) ______________________________________________________________ 57. What does the underlined words mean in Paragraph 2? (no more than 2 words) ______________________________________________________________ 58. What was the son surprised for? (no more than 15 words) ______________________________________________________________ 59. According to the father, what is the purpose of the kite thread? (no more than 10 words) ______________________________________________________________ 60. What have you learned from this lesson? (no more than 20 words) ______________________________________________________________ 【答案】56. Because he thought the kite could fly higher without it. 57. Preventing/Stopping. 58. The kite didn’t fly higher, as he thought, but fell down. 59. To help the kite stay higher in the wind. 60. Open. (We should keep in touch with our family all the time, because they are our strong support.) 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了一对父子通过放风筝感悟了一些人生道理。儿子把线剪了之后，结果风筝反而落地了，父亲告诉儿子一个道理，我们经常认为我们身上绑着的东西会阻止我们走得更高，其实那些看似阻止我们的东西在支撑着我们．如同放风筝一样，线并没有阻止风筝飞得更高，而是帮助它在风减慢时保持更高的位置． 【56题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第二段中“After a while, the son said, “Father, it seems that the thread is holding up a kite from flying higher, if we break it, it will be free and will go flying even higher. Can we break it?”(过了一会儿，儿子说：‘爸爸，好像那根线拴住了一只风筝，不让它飞得更高，如果我们把它剪断，它就会自由，会飞得更高。我们能打破它吗？’)”可知，儿子想剪掉风筝线，是因为他认为没有它风筝也能飞得更高。故填Because he thought the kite could fly higher without it. 【57题详解】 考查词句猜测。根据第二段中划线部分下文“if we break it, it will be free and will go flying even higher. Can we break it?(如果我们把它剪断，它就会自由，会飞得更高。我们能打破它吗？)”可知，儿子认为剪掉风筝线，风筝会飞得更高，这说明他认为是风筝线阻止风筝飞得更高，故划线短语“holding up”意为“阻止”，故填Preventing/Stopping. 【58题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第三段中“But then, slowly, the-kite started to come down. And, soon-it-fell down on the terrace (露台) of the unknown building. The young son was surprised to see this. He had cut the kite loose of its thread so it can fly higher, but instead, it fell down. (但后来，风筝慢慢地开始落下来。而且，很快它就掉到了那个不知名建筑物的露台上。小儿子看到这一幕，大吃一惊。他把风筝的线剪断了，这样它就可以飞得更高，但风筝却掉了下来。)”可知，儿子惊讶于风筝并没有像他想的那样飞得更高，而是落了下来。故填The kite didn’t fly higher, as he thought, but fell down. 【59题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第三段中“The thread was not holding the kite from going higher, but it was helping it stay higher when the wind slowed down and when the wind picked up, you helped the kite go up higher in a proper direction through the thread. (线并没有阻止风筝飞得更高，但是当风减弱时，它可以帮助风筝保持在更高的位置，当风增强时，你可以通过线帮助风筝以正确的方向飞得更高。)”可知，据父亲说，风筝线的用途是帮助风筝在风中保持更高的位置。故填To help the kite stay higher in the wind. 【60题详解】 开放试题，言之有理即可。根据最后一段“Sometimes we feel that we can progress quickly and reach to the newer heights in our life if we were not tied up with our family, our home. But, we fail to realize that our family, our loved ones help us survive the tough time in our lives with their support and encourage us to reach higher heights in our life. They are not holding us, but are supporting us. Never let go of them.(有时我们觉得，如果我们不被家人、家所束缚，我们就能快速进步并达到生活的新高度。但是，我们没有意识到，我们的家人、我们所爱的人在他们的支持下帮助我们度过了生活中的艰难时期，并鼓励我们达到生活的更高高度。他们不是在束缚我们，而是在支持我们。永远不要放开他们。)”可知，从文中我们可以学到的是我们应该时刻与家人保持联系，因为他们是我们坚强的后盾。故填We should keep in touch with our family all the time, because they are our strong support. 第二节：书面表达（满分25分） 61. 假设你是晨光中学的学生李津。学校正举办主题为“用英文讲中国故事”的征文活动。请你以“愚公移山”为题写一篇英语短文投稿，内容包括： （1）“愚公移山”的故事梗概； （2）意义或启示。 注意： （1）词数不少于100； （2）可适当加入细节，使内容充实、行文连贯； （3）开头已给出，不计入总词数。 Once upon a time, there lived an old man named Yu Gong, which means “foolish old man” in English. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Once upon a time, there lived an old man named Yu Gong, which means “foolish old man” in English. Mr Yu was nearly 90 years old, but he was strong in spirit. He was tired of how the mountains blocked his village from the rest of the land. So one day he called his family together and said, “let’s all work together to move these mountains, we can make a path that goes straight to the south and reaches the River Han. What do you think?”Everyone agreed even though it seemed like a huge job. They started digging and carrying away rocks and soil. Day after day, they worked hard as a team. In the end, their hard work and strong will moved the gods. They sent a divine being to flatten the mountains, creating a wide road for Mr Yu’s village. Everyone was happy. The story of Mr Yu taught people that with perseverance, anything is possible. So remember: where there is a will, there is a way. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生以“愚公移山”为题，写一篇英语短文投稿，表述故事梗概及意义或启示。 【详解】1.词汇积累 阻挡：block→hinder/obstruct 最后：in the end→at last/eventually 感动：move→touch 毅力：perseverance→persistence 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：In the end, their hard work and strong will moved the gods. 拓展句：In the end, their hard work and strong will were so great that they moved the gods. 【点睛】【高分句型1】He was tired of how the mountains blocked his village from the rest of the land.
