My father, Paulo, is a fisherman, as were generations before him. Fishing is in my blood. I often wonder about my future: will I become a fisherman like my father, or will I pursue my dream of studying at university? I already help with the nets and catch, and my cousin Alfonso, who is nineteen, shares thrilling ocean adventure tales. My parents say he makes these stories more exciting to impress and encourage me to follow in his footsteps. Fishing is hard and dangerous work, they warn. You spend your days wet, salty, and smelling of fish. “Explore different possibilities before deciding your path,” my father advises. “You were named after Vasco da Gama, the explorer who made Portugal a sea-trading power. Seek your own path.” Last week, as we waited for the fishing boats to return after a week at sea, the weather was calm and clear. When my father’s boat arrived, Alfonso and I pulled in the nets, heavy with a week’s worth of fish. Later, I helped my mother prepare a fish soup for dinner. The following day, my father sent me to ask Carlos, the lighthouse keeper, about the weather. From his high viewpoint, Carlos has a keen understanding of the weather and life. He greeted me warmly, eager for company. “I want to be a fisherman,” I told Carlos, “but I also love learning. Maybe I’d be good at teaching or something else.” Carlos gestured broadly to the horizon. “It’s a big world with many opportunities. If you choose fishing now, you might limit yourself and miss out on education. Explore your options. Fishing will always be here.” We fell silent, and I asked about the weather. “When you can see the westernmost islands from here,” Carlos explained, “rain is coming.” Sure enough, fat raindrops soon began to fall. After the storm, we searched the beach for washed-up treasures. Among the seaweed and debris, I found a chain with a compass. “Look!” Alfonso shouted. “A compass! Now Vasco can explore the world.” In that moment, I realized Carlos was right. I could always return to fishing, but the world was waiting for me to explore. 41 What does Vasco mean when he says fishing is in his blood? A. He enjoys eating fish. B. He has natural talent for fishing. C. Fishing is his family tradition. D. He spends a lot of time near water. 42. Why does Alfonso share thrilling ocean adventure tales with Vasco? A. To inspire Vasco to become a fisherman. B. To convince Vasco to study at university. C. To entertain Vasco with fictional stories. D. To teach Vasco about the ocean. 43. Why does Vasco’s father tell him he was named after Vasco da Gama? A. To make fun of his first name. B. To persuade him to explore his own future. C. To help him feel more important than Alfonso. D. To teach him a lesson in the history of Portugal. 44. Which is most likely to happen in the future? A. Carlos will warn Vasco about the dangers of the sea. B. Alfonso will quit fishing and become a lighthouse keeper. C. Vasco’s family will leave Portugal. D. Vasco will go to the university. 45. Which of these is the main conflict in this story? A. Familiar against unfamiliar. B. Man against nature. C. Old against young. D. Good against bad. 【答案】41. C 42. A 43. B 44. D 45. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了少年Vasco在继承家族捕鱼事业与追求个人梦想之间的矛盾心理及成长探索过程。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“My father, Paulo, is a fisherman, as were generations before him. Fishing is in my blood. (我的父亲Paulo是一名渔夫，他的几代先辈也是如此。捕鱼流淌在我的血液中)”可知，Vasco的父亲以及他之前的几代人都是渔夫，所以钓鱼是他的家族传统。因此，Vasco说“钓鱼在我的血液中”意味着“钓鱼是他的家族传统”。故选C。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“I already help with the nets and catch, and my cousin Alfonso, who is nineteen, shares thrilling ocean adventure tales. My parents say he makes these stories more exciting to impress and encourage me to follow in his footstep. (我已经在帮忙收网和处理渔获，而我十九岁的堂兄Alfonso会讲一些刺激的海上冒险故事。我的父母说，他把这些故事讲得更精彩，是为了给我留下深刻印象，并鼓励我追随他的脚步)” 可知，Vasco的表哥Alfonso分享激动人心的海洋冒险故事是为了鼓励他成为渔夫。故选A。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中““Explore different possibilities before deciding your path,” my father advises. “You were named after Vasco da Gama, the explorer who made Portugal a sea-trading power. Seek your own path.” (“在决定你的道路之前，探索不同的可能性，”我的父亲建议道。“你是以Vasco da Gama命名的，这位探险家让葡萄牙成为海上贸易强国。寻找你自己的道路。”)”可知，Vasco da Gama经过探索，让葡萄牙成为海上贸易强国。Vasco的父亲提到Vasco da Gama是为了“说服他探索自己的未来”。故选B。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“I often wonder about my future: will I become a fisherman like my father, or will I pursue my dream of studying at university? (我经常对我的未来感到疑惑：我会像我的父亲一样成为一名渔夫，还是追求我的梦想去上大学)”及第三段中“Maybe I’d be good at teaching or something else. (也许我会擅长教书或者其他的事情)”以及最后一段中“In that moment, I realized Carlos was right. I could always return to fishing, but the world was waiting for me to explore. (在那一刻，我意识到卡洛斯是对的。我可以随时回到捕鱼，但是世界在等着我去探索)”可知，Vasco在犹豫是否要去上大学，但在最后一段中他意识到世界在等着他去探索，尽管他可以回到捕鱼，但他可能会选择去上大学探索其他的机会，因此Vasco最有可能去上大学。故选D。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其根据第一段中“I often wonder about my future: will I become a fisherman like my father, or will I pursue my dream of studying at university? (我经常对我的未来感到疑惑：我会像我的父亲一样成为一名渔夫，还是追求我的梦想去上大学)”可知，故事的主要冲突在于Vasco对于选择熟悉的家族捕鱼事业还是探索未知的学术和个人发展路径之间的矛盾。故选A。 C It’s human nature to enjoy playing. From board games to sports, games have been a significant part of human culture for a very long time. Since their invention in the mid-20th century, video games have become one of the most popular ways to have fun. In 2018, UK games spent an average of over seven hours a week playing, according to research by global network provider Limelight. But how much is too much? When does fun turn into an addiction? Are we addicted to video games? “The strong desire to play never disappears,” said Sean - not his real name - on the BBC’s Victoria Derbyshire programme. His deep interest in gaming once led him to play for 48 hours straight. It consumed him to the point where he neglected his family and children, spending all his time on gaming and ignoring their needs, which ultimately led to losing them, his job, and his home. Since then, he has entered a rehabilitation center, and although he slipped back into gaming once or twice, he has been doing well for the last 14 months. Sean is not alone. The UK Addiction Treatment group reported that the number of people seeking treatment for gaming addiction grew from four in 2014 to 22 in 2018. In 2018, the World Health Organization classified gaming addiction as an illness. In the UK, an investigation into technology addiction by the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee included statements from people who said they were addicted to games. One, Matus Mikus, said, “games are naturally addictive.” However, the association for UK Interactive Entertainment told the committee that there was not enough evidence to support the claim of addiction. They argued that gaming could be beneficial, for example, by developing thinking skills. In fact, in a 2018 BBC article, Dr. Rajin Chowdhury, who works in an aesthetic and intensive care at Sheffield Teaching Hospital, shared a similar view. Gaming, he said, made him more skillful with his hands, improved his ability to use his hands and eyes together effectively, and helped with operations performed remotely by looking at a screen, especially when the controls were complex. Are video games addictive? The answer is unclear. As with many things, balance is important. The games themselves may not be the problem, but letting them negatively impact our lives certainly is. With that in mind, play well, have fun, and remember to take regular breaks. 46. What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To criticize the impact of video games on society. B. To introduce the topic of video games and their popularity. C. To provide information about how much people play games. D. To explain the history of video games. 47. The underlined word “neglected” in Paragraph 2 probably means “______”. A. Ignored B. Supported C. Watched D. Disliked 48. What does the third paragraph mainly discuss? A. The benefits of gaming. B. The popularity of video games. C. The fun of playing video games. D. The rise in gaming addiction cases. 49. What does the association claim about gaming? A. It is harmful. B. It causes addiction. C. It has benefits. D. It is expensive. 50. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Video Games: A New Form of Entertainment B. Video Games: Addiction or Benefit? C. The Dark Side of Video Game Addiction D. How to Deal with Video Game Addiction 【答案】46. B 47. A 48. D 49. C 50. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章探讨电子游戏是会让人成瘾还是有益，强调玩游戏需把握平衡。 【46题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“It’s human nature to enjoy playing. From board games to sports, games have been a significant part of human culture for a very long time. Since their invention in the mid-20th century, video games have become one of the most popular ways to have fun. In 2018, UK games spent an average of over seven hours a week playing, according to research by global network provider Limelight. But how much is too much? When does fun turn into an addiction? Are we addicted to video games? (享受玩耍是人的天性。从棋盘游戏到体育运动，很长一段时间以来，游戏一直是人类文化的重要组成部分。自20世纪中叶发明以来，电子游戏已成为最受欢迎的娱乐方式之一。根据全球网络提供商Limelight的研究，2018年，英国游戏平均每周玩7个多小时。但多少才算太多？什么时候乐趣变成了瘾？我们沉迷于电子游戏吗？)”可知，作者先介绍了电子游戏自 20 世纪中期发明以来变得非常流行，还提到英国人每周玩游戏的时长，最后提出关于玩游戏是否成瘾等问题。所以第一段目的是引入电子游戏及其流行程度的话题。故选B项。 【47题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段划线句后文“spending all his time on gaming and ignoring their needs (他把所有的时间都花在游戏上，忽视了他们的需求)”可知，这里指他把所有时间都花在玩游戏上，不顾家人和孩子的需求，所以neglected意思应是“忽视”的意思，与ignored同义。故选A项。 【48题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“The UK Addiction Treatment group reported that the number of people seeking treatment for gaming addiction grew from four in 2014 to 22 in 2018. In 2018, the World Health Organization classified gaming addiction as an illness. (英国成瘾治疗组织报告称，寻求游戏成瘾治疗的人数从2014年的4人增加到2018年的22人。2018年，世界卫生组织将游戏成瘾列为一种疾病。)”可知，该段主要讲述了英国寻求游戏成瘾治疗的人数增长以及世界卫生组织将游戏成瘾列为疾病，即主要讨论游戏成瘾案例的增加。故选D项。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“However, the association for UK Interactive Entertainment told the committee that there was not enough evidence to support the claim of addiction. They argued that gaming could be beneficial, for example, by developing thinking skills. (然而，英国互动娱乐协会告诉委员会，没有足够的证据支持成瘾的说法。他们认为，游戏可能是有益的，例如，通过发展思维技能。)”可知，该协会声称没有足够证据证明游戏成瘾，且认为游戏有益，比如能培养思维技能。故选C项。 【50题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章既讲述了像Sean这样游戏成瘾带来的不良后果，如失去家庭、工作和住所等，也提到了协会及一些人认为游戏有益的观点，如能培养思维技能、提高手眼协调能力等，所以文章围绕游戏成瘾和益处两方面展开讨论。故选B项。 第Ⅱ卷 第四部分：写作（共两节；满分30分） 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下列短文并回答问题。 Thanksgiving Day was near, and the first grade teacher gave her class a fun assignment—to draw a picture of something for which they were thankful. Most of the class might be considered not very well-off, but still many would celebrate the holiday with turkey and other traditional treats of the season. These, the teacher thought, would be the subjects of most of her students’ art. And they were. But Douglas made a different kind of picture. Douglas was a different kind of boy. He was the teacher’s true child of sadness, weak and melancholic. As other children played during break time, Douglas was likely to stand close by her side. One could only guess at the pain Douglas felt behind those sad eyes. Yes, his picture was different. When asked to draw a picture of something for which he was thankful, he drew a hand. Nothing else. Just an empty hand. His abstract image captured the imagination of his peers. Whose hand could it be? One child guessed it was the hand of a farmer, because farmers raise turkeys. Another suggested a police officer, because the police protect and care for people. And so the discussion went—until the teacher almost forgot the young artist himself. When the children had gone on to other assignments, she paused at Douglas’ desk, bent down, and asked him whose hand it was. The little boy looked away and said softly, “It’s yours, teacher.” She recalled the times she had taken his hand and walked with him here or there, as she had the other students. How often had she said, “Take my hand, Douglas, we’ll go outside.” Or, “Let me show you how to hold your pencil.” Or, “Let’s do this together.” Douglas was most thankful for his teacher’s hand. Brushing aside a tear, she went on with her work. In fact, people might not always say “thanks,” but they’ll remember the hand that reaches out. 51. What did the teacher expect her students to draw? (no more than 10 words) _____________________________________________________________ 52. What does the underlined word “melancholic” mean in Paragraph 2? (One word) _____________________________________________________________ 53. What did Douglas’s classmates guess about the hand he drew? (no more than 15 words) _____________________________________________________________ 54. Why did Douglas choose to draw his teacher’s hand? (no more than 10 words) _____________________________________________________________ 55. Who do you most want to thank and why? (no more than 20 words) _____________________________________________________________ 【答案】51. Turkey and other traditional treats of the season. 52. Sad/Sorrowful/Unhappy/Depressed. 53. They guessed it could be the hand of a farmer or a police officer. 54. Because he was thankful for her support and care. 55. I most want to thank my family for their unconditional love and support in every step of my journey. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了在感恩节老师让学生们画一幅画的故事，通过一副特殊的画告诉我们老师教导，父母的养育，朋友之间的友谊，以及关爱的重要性。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Most of the class might be considered not very well-off, but still many would celebrate the holiday with turkey and other traditional treats of the season. These, the teacher thought, would be the subjects of most of her students’ art.(这个班级的大多数人可能被认为不是很富裕，但仍然有许多人会用火鸡和其他传统的食物来庆祝这个节日。这位老师认为，这些将是她大多数学生的艺术主题。)”可知，老师预料她的学生画火鸡和其他节日的传统美食。故回答为Turkey and other traditional treats of the season. 【52题详解】 词句猜测题。根据下文“As other children played during break time, Douglas was likely to stand close by her side. One could only guess at the pain Douglas felt behind those sad eyes.(当其他孩子在休息时间玩耍时，道格拉斯很可能站在她身边。人们只能猜测道格拉斯在那双悲伤的眼睛后面所感受到的痛苦。)”可知，道格拉斯是一个悲伤的孩子，所以猜测划线词的意思是“悲伤的、抑郁的”。故回答为Sad/ Sorrowful/ Unhappy/ Depressed. 【53题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“One child guessed it was the hand of a farmer, because farmers raise turkeys. Another suggested a police officer, because the police protect and care for people.(一个孩子猜测这是一个农民的手，因为农民养火鸡。另一个建议当警察，因为警察保护和关心人民。)”可知，道格拉斯的同学对他画的那只手猜测可能是一个农民或警察的手。故回答为They guessed it could be the hand of a farmer or a police officer. 【54题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第六段“Douglas was most thankful for his teacher’s hand.(道格拉斯非常感谢老师的帮助。)”可知，道格拉斯选择画他老师的手是因为他感谢老师的支持和关心。故回答为Because he was thankful for her support and care. 【55题详解】 开放性试题。考生言之有理即可。例如：我最想感谢的是我的家人，在我人生的每一步，他们无条件的爱和支持。故回答为I most want to thank my family for their unconditional love and support in every step of my journey. 第二节：书面表达（满分20分） 56. 假如你是高中生李津，带着新西兰外教Tom参观中国成语故事画展。Tom对一幅描绘农夫拔高禾苗的画很感兴趣，但不理解其含义。请按照以下要点向Tom介绍这个成语故事：（1）故事梗概；（2）你的感想。 要求：（1）短文内容不少于100词； （2）开头已给出，不计入总词数； （3）可适当发挥，以使行文连贯。 Once upon a time ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Once upon a time, a farmer worried that his crops were not growing fast enough. He thought his plants were too slow, so he pulled up the young plants a bit each day to help them grow faster. However, instead of growing, the young plants became weak and died because their roots were damaged. This story teaches us that being impatient and trying to make things happen faster can lead to failure.

B I’m Vasco Salazar, a thirteen-year-old living in a coastal town in Portugal, where many make their living from fishing. My father, Paulo, is a fisherman, as were generations before him. Fishing is in my blood. I often wonder about my future: will I become a fisherman like my father, or will I pursue my dream of studying at university? I already help with the nets and catch, and my cousin Alfonso, who is nineteen, shares thrilling ocean adventure tales. My parents say he makes these stories more exciting to impress and encourage me to follow in his footsteps. Fishing is hard and dangerous work, they warn. You spend your days wet, salty, and smelling of fish. “Explore different possibilities before deciding your path,” my father advises. “You were named after Vasco da Gama, the explorer who made Portugal a sea-trading power. Seek your own path.” Last week, as we waited for the fishing boats to return after a week at sea, the weather was calm and clear. When my father’s boat arrived, Alfonso and I pulled in the nets, heavy with a week’s worth of fish. Later, I helped my mother prepare a fish soup for dinner. The following day, my father sent me to ask Carlos, the lighthouse keeper, about the weather. From his high viewpoint, Carlos has a keen understanding of the weather and life. He greeted me warmly, eager for company. “I want to be a fisherman,” I told Carlos, “but I also love learning. Maybe I’d be good at teaching or something else.” Carlos gestured broadly to the horizon. “It’s a big world with many opportunities. If you choose fishing now, you might limit yourself and miss out on education. Explore your options. Fishing will always be here.” We fell silent, and I asked about the weather. “When you can see the westernmost islands from here,” Carlos explained, “rain is coming.” Sure enough, fat raindrops soon began to fall. After the storm, we searched the beach for washed-up treasures. Among the seaweed and debris, I found a chain with a compass. “Look!” Alfonso shouted. “A compass! Now Vasco can explore the world.” In that moment, I realized Carlos was right. I could always return to fishing, but the world was waiting for me to explore. 41. What does Vasco mean when he says fishing is in his blood? A. He enjoys eating fish. B. He has natural talent for fishing. C. Fishing is his family tradition. D. He spends a lot of time near water. 42. Why does Alfonso share thrilling ocean adventure tales with Vasco? A. To inspire Vasco to become a fisherman. B. To convince Vasco to study at university. C. To entertain Vasco with fictional stories. D. To teach Vasco about the ocean. 43. Why does Vasco’s father tell him he was named after Vasco da Gama? A. To make fun of his first name. B. To persuade him to explore his own future. C. To help him feel more important than Alfonso. D. To teach him a lesson in the history of Portugal. 44. Which is most likely to happen in the future? A. Carlos will warn Vasco about the dangers of the sea. B. Alfonso will quit fishing and become a lighthouse keeper. C. Vasco’s family will leave Portugal. D. Vasco will go to the university. 45. Which of these is the main conflict in this story? A. Familiar against unfamiliar. B. Man against nature. C. Old against young. D. Good against bad. C It’s human nature to enjoy playing. From board games to sports, games have been a significant part of human culture for a very long time. Since their invention in the mid-20th century, video games have become one of the most popular ways to have fun. In 2018, UK games spent an average of over seven hours a week playing, according to research by global network provider Limelight. But how much is too much? When does fun turn into an addiction? Are we addicted to video games? “The strong desire to play never disappears,” said Sean - not his real name - on the BBC’s Victoria Derbyshire programme. His deep interest in gaming once led him to play for 48 hours straight. It consumed him to the point where he neglected his family and children, spending all his time on gaming and ignoring their needs, which ultimately led to losing them, his job, and his home. Since then, he has entered a rehabilitation center, and although he slipped back into gaming once or twice, he has been doing well for the last 14 months. Sean is not alone. The UK Addiction Treatment group reported that the number of people seeking treatment for gaming addiction grew from four in 2014 to 22 in 2018. In 2018, the World Health Organization classified gaming addiction as an illness. In the UK, an investigation into technology addiction by the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee included statements from people who said they were addicted to games. One, Matus Mikus, said, “games are naturally addictive.” However, the association for UK Interactive Entertainment told the committee that there was not enough evidence to support the claim of addiction. They argued that gaming could be beneficial, for example, by developing thinking skills. In fact, in a 2018 BBC article, Dr. Rajin Chowdhury, who works in an aesthetic and intensive care at Sheffield Teaching Hospital, shared a similar view. Gaming, he said, made him more skillful with his hands, improved his ability to use his hands and eyes together effectively, and helped with operations performed remotely by looking at a screen, especially when the controls were complex.

How to Deal with Video Game Addiction 第Ⅱ卷 第四部分：写作（共两节；满分30分） 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下列短文并回答问题。 Thanksgiving Day was near, and the first grade teacher gave her class a fun assignment—to draw a picture of something for which they were thankful. Most of the class might be considered not very well-off, but still many would celebrate the holiday with turkey and other traditional treats of the season. These, the teacher thought, would be the subjects of most of her students’ art. And they were. But Douglas made a different kind of picture. Douglas was a different kind of boy. He was the teacher’s true child of sadness, weak and melancholic. As other children played during break time, Douglas was likely to stand close by her side. One could only guess at the pain Douglas felt behind those sad eyes. Yes, his picture was different. When asked to draw a picture of something for which he was thankful, he drew a hand. Nothing else. Just an empty hand. His abstract image captured the imagination of his peers. Whose hand could it be? One child guessed it was the hand of a farmer, because farmers raise turkeys. Another suggested a police officer, because the police protect and care for people. And so the discussion went—until the teacher almost forgot the young artist himself. When the children had gone on to other assignments, she paused at Douglas’ desk, bent down, and asked him whose hand it was. The little boy looked away and said softly, “It’s yours, teacher.” She recalled the times she had taken his hand and walked with him here or there, as she had the other students. How often had she said, “Take my hand, Douglas, we’ll go outside.” Or, “Let me show you how to hold your pencil.” Or, “Let’s do this together.” Douglas was most thankful for his teacher’s hand. Brushing aside a tear, she went on with her work. In fact, people might not always say “thanks,” but they’ll remember the hand that reaches out. 51. What did the teacher expect her students to draw?
