They won’t listen to me. I was 22 and I didn’t know what I was doing. I never wanted to teach. I wanted to be a writer. But when I arrived in London, they were short of teachers. My efforts at teaching were hopeless. When the bell finally rang, I rushed to the staff room, red with anger. The other teachers weren’t surprised. “That’s 4B, the worst class in school,” one said. I dreaded our next meeting, but I couldn’t give up. I needed the job. So, I abandoned formal lessons. Instead, I brought topics for class discussions. One of the liveliest talks was about the arguments they had with their parents. They paid attention and shared about their lives. I was fascinated (入迷的). So I had them write about themselves. Most wrote about families with little money and big problems. As time went on, their essays became a bridge between us. I admired their humor, toughness (坚韧) and insight, and I think they appreciated my interest in their lives. The musical My Fair Lady was playing in the West End, but they had never seen a live stage performance. They lived just a few subway stops from the West End, but none had ever been. I asked if they’d like to see the musical. They thought I was joking. No teacher had ever suggested taking them out. A few weeks later, 4B and I were sitting in a theater. They loved the music, the costumes and the characters. It was the highlight of their year, and they talked about it for days. Near the end of the semester, someone knocked on the door of the staff room. The two most rebellious (叛逆的) girls in 4B were there — with flowers. I was proud to know I had touched their lives, but they had also touched mine. I enjoyed teaching and getting along with teenagers. When I returned to Australia several years later, I still wanted to be a writer. For the first time in my life, I stopped dreaming and started writing. My first story was titled, My Fair Ladies. Teaching wasn’t the end of my writing career; it was the beginning. 1. How was the author’s first class in 4B at the beginning? A. It was a complete mess. B. It was quite boring. C. It was lively and interesting. D. It was full of discussions. 2. What happened after the students began to write essays? A. They had fewer arguments with their parents. B. They gradually learned to do argumentative writing. C. Their writing skills improved with the author’s help. D. The author’s relationship with her students improved. 3. What can we infer from the last three paragraphs? A. The author was popular with the students’ parents. B. The author has become a famous writer. C. The author started to write because she was bored with teaching. D. The author’s teaching experiences benefited her writing. B Dutch startup Nuwa claims to have invented the “world’s most advanced pen” that digitizes (数字化) notes written by hand. The Groningen-based company today announced a fresh cash injection of €1. 5 million to promote the development of the product, which uses an inbuilt camera system, motion sensors, and artificial intelligence to capture text written on paper. “Just write, and Nuwa Pen digitizes, ” Marc Tuinier, Nuwa's CEO, told us. All the notes are then stored on the startup’s app. They can then be organized, shared, and integrated with other apps. A particularly fascinating feature is intelligent notes, which scans and identifies rich text items such as dates, to-dos, and phone numbers from the notes. Users can then link the data with, for instance, their calendar, to-do app, or phone book. The feature is integrated with over 50 apps. Nuwa compares it to a personal assistant that puts you on top of your schedule. Nuwa is targeting the product at people who still enjoy writing with a pen and notebook. While many smart pens only work on screens or digital writing systems, Nuwa promises adaptability with every type of paper. The product also uses regular ink refills. “Other smart pen brands rely on special dotted paper to recognize what the user is writing, so you’ll also be stuck buying their paper, ” Tuinier said. “Nuwa Pen can be used on any paper. ” The Nuwa system is built around tiny design. The device weighs just 28 grams — about as much as a single AA battery — but provides enough power for two hours of continuous writing. Three tiny cameras are used to digitize the text with 2 mm×2 mm sensors. All the data is then processed directly on the device. “Capturing handwriting from these sensors in the pen itself, while a pen is constantly moving, is an extremely difficult task to get right — and we’ve done it, ” Tuinier said. By combining the trusty old ballpoint pen with the digital world, Nuwa hopes that it can solve one of those needs. The device is now available for pre-order. 4. What is the primary function of the Nuwa Pen? A. Intergrating pens with other apps. B. Organizing handwritten notes digitally. C. Combining all apps into a single platform. D. Providing a solution for personal schedules. 5. Who is the Nuwa Pen’s main target buyer? A People who prefer typing over handwriting. B. People who show interest in smart ink refills. C. People who have an extra budget for paper purchase. D. People who appreciate traditional pen and paper writing. 6. Why does the author list a series of numbers in the last paragraph? A. To show how portable the device is. B. To explain the structure of the cameras. C. To demonstrate the device’s operating time. D. To describe the materials used in the device. 7. What is the author’s attitude towards the Nuwa Pen? A. Doubtful. B. Uncertain. C. Neutral. D. Enthusiastic. C There’s a name for that feeling you get after spending too long scrolling aimlessly, and Oxford University Press (OUP) has chosen it as its word for the year for 2024. “Brain rot” took the title in a vote in which more than 37, 000 people participated, as well as public commentary and analysis of OUP’s language data. In a statement released Monday, OUP, which publishes the Oxford English Dictionary, defined “brain rot” as the supposed decline in a person‘s mental or intellectual state, especially viewed as the result of over-consumption of material (now particularly online content) considered to be shallow or unchallenging. While the use of “brain rot” rose 230% this year, it was actually first introduced more than a century ago. According to OUP, it was first used by author Henry David Thoreau in his book Walden as he criticized society’s tendency to devalue complicated ideas in favour of simple ones. All these years later, it seems brain rot is well and truly established. The term has gained attention over the past year, however, especially as worries grow about the impact of over-consuming low-quality content online. Earlier this year, a behavioral healthcare provider in the United States began offering treatment for brain rot, describing it as a condition of confusion, tiredness, lack of focus, and weakened mental ability. The healthcare company cited endless scrolling and social media addiction as examples of brain rot behavior, which could be prevented by setting limits on screen time or doing a digital cleansing. “ ‘Brain rot’ speaks to one of the perceived dangers of virtual life, and how we are using our free time, ” said Casper Grathwohl, president of Oxford Languages. “I also find it fascinating that the word ‘brain rot’ has been adopted by Gen Z and Gen Alpha. These communities have promoted the expression through social media channels, the very place said to cause ‘brain rot’, ” he added. “It demonstrates a somewhat humorous self-awareness in the younger generations about the harmful impact of the social media that they’ve received. ” 8. What does “brain rot” refer to according to Oxford University Press? A. A headache caused by too much screen time. B. Mental decline from meaningless viewing. C. Low-quality online information. D. Addiction to social media. 9. Why did Thoreau use the term “brain rot” in his writing? A. To warn people about overusing the Internet. B. To encourage readers to watch shallow content. C. To challenge society’s preference for simple ideas. D. To praise mental health advancements of his time. 10. What is the main idea of the third paragraph? A. Brain rot is caused by social media and can be treated. B. Social media causes most mental health issues. C. Screen time has no impact on mental health. D. Brain rot is not a real mental condition. 11. Why does Casper Grathwohl describe the younger generation as humorous? A. Because they openly laugh at the mental state of older generations. B Because they treat low-quality online content purely as entertainment. C. Because they completely avoid discussing brain rot and see it as a joke. D. Because they admit the harm of social media with self-critical humor. D If you’ve ever been bitten by a mosquito (蚊子), you know how frustrating their bites can be. The little red swellings appear almost immediately, creating an itch (痒) that only seems to get worse once you start scratching. When a mosquito bites you, it goes into the skin using a special mouthpart to suck up blood. As the mosquito is feeding on your blood, it puts saliva into your skin. Leslie Vosshall, a scientist at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, explained that a mosquito’s saliva has a quality similar to an anesthetic (麻醉剂), so you don’t feel the bite until after the insect flies away. It also contains a component that makes your blood continue to flow without clotting (凝结). “Mosquitoes’ saliva has lots of proteins (蛋白质) in it, and some people are allergic to them,” Vosshall said. “Our body recognizes the mosquito protein as foreign, and our immune cells (免疫细胞) spring into action to try to fight it.” It’s not the bite that causes the itch—it’s actually the body’s response to the foreign mosquito protein it is trying to fight. That’s why some people may only have a slight reaction to bites, while others, more sensitive to the foreign protein, react with large areas of swelling that are more painful. “Don’t scratch” is the advice that most experts and health professionals give. “As hard and sometimes unrealistic as it can sound, scratching makes the skin itch more,” warned Daniel Markowski, technical adviser for the American Mosquito Control Association. Instead, there are dozens of creams and sprays that promise itch relief. Choosing what’s right for you can often come down to trial and error. Vosshall recommended applying hot water to the bite as soon as possible. “Very hot water — as hot as you can stand it but not so hot that you burn yourself — can relieve the itch,” she said. While both experts said that many people prefer natural treatments or herbal products, they urged caution. There is no scientific evidence these treatments work, and they can come with their own side effects. 12. What is the function of mosquitoes’ saliva? A. To change the form of blood. B. To prevent blood from-flowing. C. To avoid the feeling of being bitten. D. To discover possible clotting in time. 13. What can influence people’s reaction to mosquito bites? A. The amount of protein in mosquitoes’ saliva. B. The level of sensitivity to the foreign protein. C. The process of being bitten by mosquitoes. D. The number of active immune cells. 14. What do experts advise us to do? A. To drink enough hot water. B. To keep away from dirty places. C. To be cautious about herbal products. D. To compare various creams and sprays. 15. What would be the best title for the text? A. What makes mosquito bites itch? B What problem can scratching cause? C. Why do some people attract mosquitoes more? D. How can we avoid being bitten by mosquitoes? 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分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。 Achieving Success in Journalistic News Writing No book, article or blog post can turn an ambitious writer into a successful journalist. All that it can do is to help the writer learn to write. The primary skill in learning to write is practice. ____16____ Among the most convenient subjects are the events and news in the world around us. Such topics are what skilled journalists write about, and that is why we call this form of writing “journalistic writing”. Journalistic writing is not a special literary gymnastics that requires a special talent and an expansive vocabulary. ____17____It is using language to tell what is going on in the world. As such, it requires no special talent beyond seeing and understanding what is taking place around us, to grasp its significance and relation to other events, and to tell others what we have seen and heard. ____18____One of the chief characteristics is timeliness and relevance. It has little time to talk about the past, except in comparison with the present. It has little time to foretell the future, except in pointing out the significance of the present. Its subject is today. It is primarily concerned with facts. The writer considers himself a recorder of the things other persons are doing and thinking. Another basic part of journalistic writing is that the writer prepares it for a definite purpose. Some writers, like novelists, write to use beautiful words and sentences. ____19____However, the writer who favors a journalistic style uses English simply to tell what he has seen and heard; he realizes that his reader cares more for the things he tells than for the way in which he tells and expresses them. Success in journalistic writing demands two important skills. One is the inborn skill to see and understand. The other is the skill to tell what the writer has seen in a way that makes the reader see the same thing. ____20____If the writer is eager to excel, he must expand his knowledge and education so he can better understand and evaluate the things he sees and hears. A. It will not do them any good to write news items. B. To these imaginative literary writers, they favor expression. C. To practice writing, one must have something to write about. D. An ambitious writer can develop both skills if he lacks them. E. The writer must write it now or never―without giving up quality. F. Journalistic writing differs mainly in its subject matter and purpose. G. Instead, it is the plainest, most reserved form of English composition. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Imagine stepping onto your long-awaited flight home, and discovering the pilot is your very own child!

He did his work neatly and was always polite and helpful to everybody. The only thing was that he always managed to get whatever he liked. If he happened to like somebody’s pencils, he was quick to exchange one of his own things for it. One morning, all the children were gathering around Daniel because everybody was appreciating his new pen with his name on it. When the bell rang, everybody rushed downstairs for the PE class. While the children were making their lines, Ben’s teacher Miss Kelly asked him to bring some chalk from the classroom. When Ben entered the classroom, he could not stop himself from looking into Daniel’s bag. He took out the pen to see it once more because he wanted that pen very much at that time. Suddenly, he heard footsteps and quickly put the pen in his pocket. Turning around, he saw Mary entering the class because she was not feeling well. Ben ran out with the chalk in his hand and the pen in his pocket. When everybody came back to the classroom for the next class, Daniel found his pen lost. After Daniel told Miss Kelly that, Kelly thought it must be Mary who took the pen. She punished Mary and Mary started crying. Ben was too afraid to tell the truth and give the pen to Daniel. He could not fall asleep at night at all. When he looked at the pen again and again, the pen no longer looked beautiful to him. He could not forget Mary’s sad face.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者22岁时因伦敦缺教师而从教，起初在4B班的教学一团糟，后来通过改变教学方式，作者与学生建立了联系，带学生去看音乐剧，学期末还收到了学生送的花。几年后作者回国开始写作，这段教学经历成为其写作生涯的开端。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“I’m standing in a class of wild 14-year-old girls as they throw paper and howl (大声喊叫) with laughter. They won’t listen to me. (我正站在一群14岁的狂野女孩中间，她们一边扔纸一边大笑。她们不听我的)”可知，一开始作者的课堂非常混乱，学生们不守纪律。故选A项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段中“As time went on, their essays became a bridge between us. I admired their humor, toughness (坚韧) and insight, and I think they appreciated my interest in their lives. (随着时间的推移，她们的文章成为我们之间的桥梁。我欣赏她们的幽默、坚韧和洞察力，我想她们也欣赏我对她们生活的兴趣)”可知，学生们开始写文章后，作者与她们的关系逐渐改善。故选D项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“For the first time in my life, I stopped dreaming and started writing. My first story was titled, My Fair Ladies. Teaching wasn’t the end of my writing career; it was the beginning. (这是我人生中第一次停止做梦，开始写作。我的第一个故事的题目是《窈窕淑女们》。教书并不是我写作生涯的终点；这是开始)”可知，作者首次写作的内容是关于这群自己教过的学生的，这开启了她的写作生涯。由此可知，作者的教学经历使她的写作受益匪浅。故选D项。 B Dutch startup Nuwa claims to have invented the “world’s most advanced pen” that digitizes (数字化) notes written by hand.

The device weighs just 28 grams — about as much as a single AA battery — but provides enough power for two hours of continuous writing. Three tiny cameras are used to digitize the text with 2 mm×2 mm sensors.( Nuwa系统是围绕微小设计而构建的。这款设备的重量只有28克，大约相当于一节AA电池的重量，但它提供的电量足以连续书写两小时。三个微型相机用2个mm×2毫米的传感器将文本数字化。)”可知，作者在最后一段列出一系列数字是为了展示这种笔的小巧，说明这个设备的便携性。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。本文介绍的是荷兰初创公司Nuwa发明的“世界上最先进的笔”，它可以将手写的笔记数字化。作者介绍了这种笔的工作原理和优点等，未表达自己的观点，所以作者的态度是中立的。故选C项。 C There’s a name for that feeling you get after spending too long scrolling aimlessly, and Oxford University Press (OUP) has chosen it as its word for the year for 2024. “Brain rot” took the title in a vote in which more than 37, 000 people participated, as well as public commentary and analysis of OUP’s language data.

While the use of “brain rot” rose 230% this year, it was actually first introduced more than a century ago. According to OUP, it was first used by author Henry David Thoreau in his book Walden as he criticized society’s tendency to devalue complicated ideas in favour of simple ones. All these years later, it seems brain rot is well and truly established. The term has gained attention over the past year, however, especially as worries grow about the impact of over-consuming low-quality content online. Earlier this year, a behavioral healthcare provider in the United States began offering treatment for brain rot, describing it as a condition of confusion, tiredness, lack of focus, and weakened mental ability. The healthcare company cited endless scrolling and social media addiction as examples of brain rot behavior, which could be prevented by setting limits on screen time or doing a digital cleansing. “ ‘Brain rot’ speaks to one of the perceived dangers of virtual life, and how we are using our free time, ” said Casper Grathwohl, president of Oxford Languages. “I also find it fascinating that the word ‘brain rot’ has been adopted by Gen Z and Gen Alpha. These communities have promoted the expression through social media channels, the very place said to cause ‘brain rot’, ” he added. “It demonstrates a somewhat humorous self-awareness in the younger generations about the harmful impact of the social media that they’ve received. ” 8. What does “brain rot” refer to according to Oxford University Press? A. A headache caused by too much screen time. B. Mental decline from meaningless viewing. C. Low-quality online information. D. Addiction to social media. 9. Why did Thoreau use the term “brain rot” in his writing? A. To warn people about overusing the Internet. B. To encourage readers to watch shallow content. C. To challenge society’s preference for simple ideas. D. To praise mental health advancements of his time. 10. What is the main idea of the third paragraph? A. Brain rot is caused by social media and can be treated. B. Social media causes most mental health issues. C. Screen time has no impact on mental health. D. Brain rot is not a real mental condition. 11. Why does Casper Grathwohl describe the younger generation as humorous? A. Because they openly laugh at the mental state of older generations. B. Because they treat low-quality online content purely as entertainment. C. Because they completely avoid discussing brain rot and see it as a joke. D. Because they admit the harm of social media with self-critical humor. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。牛津大学出版社将“脑腐”选为2024年年度词汇。文章介绍了脑腐产生的原因和治疗方式等。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的句子“In a statement released Monday, OUP, which publishes the Oxford English Dictionary, defined “brain rot” as the supposed decline in a person's mental or intellectual state, especially viewed as the result of over-consumption of material (now particularly online content) considered to be shallow or unchallenging.(在周一发布的一份声明中，出版《牛津英语词典》的OUP将“脑腐”定义为一个人精神或智力状态的衰退，尤其是被认为是过度消费被认为肤浅或缺乏挑战性的材料（现在尤其是在线内容）的结果。)”可知，根据牛津大学出版社的说法，“脑腐”指的是无意义的观看导致的智力衰退。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的句子“According to OUP, it was first used by author Henry David Thoreau in his book Walden as he criticized society's tendency to devalue complicated ideas in favour of simple ones.(根据OUP的说法，作家亨利·大卫·梭罗在他的著作《瓦尔登湖》中首次使用了这个词，他批评了社会倾向于贬低复杂的想法，而倾向于简单的想法。)”可知，梭罗在他的作品中使用“脑腐”这个词是为了挑战社会对简单思想的偏好。故选C项。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段的内容“Earlier this year, a behavioral healthcare provider in the United States began offering treatment for brain rot, describing it as a condition of confusion, tiredness, lack of focus, and weakened mental ability. The healthcare company cited endless scrolling and social media addiction as examples of brain rot behavior, which could be prevented by setting limits on screen time or doing a digital cleansing.(今年早些时候，美国一家行为保健机构开始为脑腐提供治疗，将其描述为一种混乱、疲劳、注意力不集中和心智能力减弱的状态。这家医疗保健公司将无休止的滚动和社交媒体成瘾作为大脑腐行为的例子，可以通过限制屏幕时间或进行数字净化来预防。)”可知，该段主要是说脑腐是由社交媒体引起的，是可以治疗的。故选A项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段的句子““I also find it fascinating that the word ‘brain rot’ has been adopted by Gen Z and Gen Alpha. These communities have promoted the expression through social media channels, the very place said to cause ‘brain rot’, ” he added. “It demonstrates a somewhat humorous self-awareness in the younger generations about the harmful impact of the social media that they've received. ”(“我还发现，‘脑腐’这个词被Z世代和Alpha世代所采用，这也很有趣。这些社区通过社交媒体渠道推广这种表达方式，而社交媒体渠道恰恰被认为会导致‘脑腐’。”他补充道。“这表明年轻一代对社交媒体的有害影响有一种有点幽默的自我意识。”)”可知，卡斯珀·格拉斯沃将年轻一代描述为幽默是因为他们以自我批判的幽默承认社交媒体的危害。故选D项。 D If you’ve ever been bitten by a mosquito (蚊子), you know how frustrating their bites can be. The little red swellings appear almost immediately, creating an itch (痒) that only seems to get worse once you start scratching. When a mosquito bites you, it goes into the skin using a special mouthpart to suck up blood. As the mosquito is feeding on your blood, it puts saliva into your skin. Leslie Vosshall, a scientist at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, explained that a mosquito’s saliva has a quality similar to an anesthetic (麻醉剂), so you don’t feel the bite until after the insect flies away. It also contains a component that makes your blood continue to flow without clotting (凝结). “Mosquitoes’ saliva has lots of proteins (蛋白质) in it, and some people are allergic to them,” Vosshall said. “Our body recognizes the mosquito protein as foreign, and our immune cells (免疫细胞) spring into action to try to fight it.” It’s not the bite that causes the itch—it’s actually the body’s response to the foreign mosquito protein it is trying to fight. That’s why some people may only have a slight reaction to bites, while others, more sensitive to the foreign protein, react with large areas of swelling that are more painful. “Don’t scratch” is the advice that most experts and health professionals give. “As hard and sometimes unrealistic as it can sound, scratching makes the skin itch more,” warned Daniel Markowski, technical adviser for the American Mosquito Control Association. Instead, there are dozens of creams and sprays that promise itch relief. Choosing what’s right for you can often come down to trial and error. Vosshall recommended applying hot water to the bite as soon as possible. “Very hot water — as hot as you can stand it but not so hot that you burn yourself — can relieve the itch,” she said. While both experts said that many people prefer natural treatments or herbal products, they urged caution. There is no scientific evidence these treatments work, and they can come with their own side effects. 12. What is the function of mosquitoes’ saliva? A. To change the form of blood. B To prevent blood from-flowing. C. To avoid the feeling of being bitten. D. To discover possible clotting in time. 13. What can influence people’s reaction to mosquito bites? A. The amount of protein in mosquitoes’ saliva. B. The level of sensitivity to the foreign protein. C. The process of being bitten by mosquitoes. D. The number of active immune cells. 14. What do experts advise us to do? A. To drink enough hot water. B. To keep away from dirty places. C. To be cautious about herbal products. D. To compare various creams and sprays. 15. What would be the best title for the text? A. What makes mosquito bites itch? B. What problem can scratching cause? C. Why do some people attract mosquitoes more? D. How can we avoid being bitten by mosquitoes? 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了蚊子叮咬导致发痒的原因及一些治疗方法。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段关键句“As the mosquito is feeding on your blood, it puts saliva into your skin. Leslie Vosshall, a scientist at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, explained that a mosquito’s saliva has a quality similar to an anesthetic (麻醉剂), so you don’t feel the bite until after the insect flies away. (当蚊子以你的血液为食时，它会将唾液注入你的皮肤。霍华德·休斯医学研究所的科学家Leslie Vosshall解释说，蚊子的唾液具有类似于麻醉剂的性质，所以在昆虫飞走之前，你不会感觉到叮咬。)”可知，蚊子的唾液具有类似于麻醉剂的性质，你不会感觉到叮咬，由此可知，蚊子唾液的功能是避免被咬的感觉。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段关键句“It’s not the bite that causes the itch—it’s actually the body’s response to the foreign mosquito protein it is trying to fight. That’s why some people may only have a slight reaction to bites, while others, more sensitive to the foreign protein, react with large areas of swelling that are more painful. (引起瘙痒的不是叮咬，而是身体对它试图对抗的外来蚊子蛋白质的反应。这就是为什么有些人可能对叮咬只有轻微的反应，而另一些人对外来蛋白质更敏感，会出现大面积肿胀，更痛苦。)”可知，因为不同的人对外来蛋白质的敏感程度不同，所以对蚊子叮咬的反应也不同，由此可知，对外来蛋白质的敏感程度会影响人们对蚊虫叮咬的反应。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段内容“While both experts said that many people prefer natural treatments or herbal products, they urged caution. There is no scientific evidence these treatments work, and they can come with their own side effects. (虽然两位专家都表示，许多人更喜欢自然疗法或草药产品，但他们敦促谨慎行事。没有科学证据表明这些治疗有效，而且它们可能会有自己的副作用。)”可知，专家表示，使用草药产品治疗蚊子叮咬导致的瘙痒要谨慎，可能会有副作用，由此可知，专家建议我们对草药产品要小心。故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第三段关键句“It’s not the bite that causes the itch—it’s actually the body’s response to the foreign mosquito protein it is trying to fight. That’s why some people may only have a slight reaction to bites, while others, more sensitive to the foreign protein, react with large areas of swelling that are more painful. (引起瘙痒的不是叮咬，而是身体对它试图对抗的外来蚊子蛋白质的反应。这就是为什么有些人可能对叮咬只有轻微的反应，而另一些人对外来蛋白质更敏感，会出现大面积肿胀，更痛苦。)”可知，文章主要介绍了蚊子叮咬导致发痒的原因及一些治疗方法，“What makes mosquito bites itch?”意为“是什么让蚊子叮咬发痒？”，能够概括文章主要内容。故选A项。 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分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。 Achieving Success in Journalistic News Writing No book, article or blog post can turn an ambitious writer into a successful journalist. All that it can do is to help the writer learn to write. The primary skill in learning to write is practice. ____16____ Among the most convenient subjects are the events and news in the world around us. Such topics are what skilled journalists write about, and that is why we call this form of writing “journalistic writing”. Journalistic writing is not a special literary gymnastics that requires a special talent and an expansive vocabulary. ____17____It is using language to tell what is going on in the world. As such, it requires no special talent beyond seeing and understanding what is taking place around us, to grasp its significance and relation to other events, and to tell others what we have seen and heard. ____18____One of the chief characteristics is timeliness and relevance. It has little time to talk about the past, except in comparison with the present. It has little time to foretell the future, except in pointing out the significance of the present. Its subject is today. It is primarily concerned with facts. The writer considers himself a recorder of the things other persons are doing and thinking. Another basic part of journalistic writing is that the writer prepares it for a definite purpose. Some writers, like novelists, write to use beautiful words and sentences. ____19____However, the writer who favors a journalistic style uses English simply to tell what he has seen and heard; he realizes that his reader cares more for the things he tells than for the way in which he tells and expresses them. Success in journalistic writing demands two important skills. One is the inborn skill to see and understand. The other is the skill to tell what the writer has seen in a way that makes the reader see the same thing. ____20____If the writer is eager to excel, he must expand his knowledge and education so he can better understand and evaluate the things he sees and hears. A. It will not do them any good to write news items. B. To these imaginative literary writers, they favor expression. C. To practice writing, one must have something to write about. D. An ambitious writer can develop both skills if he lacks them. E. The writer must write it now or never―without giving up quality. F. Journalistic writing differs mainly in its subject matter and purpose. G. Instead, it is the plainest, most reserved form of English composition. 【答案】16. C 17. G 18. F 19. B 20. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了在新闻写作中取得成功的一些方法和建议。 【16题详解】 根据上文“The primary skill in learning to write is practice.(学习写作的首要技能是练习。)”可知，前文提到学习写作的主要技能是练习，C选项To practice writing, one must have something to write about.

It has little time to talk about the past, except in comparison with the present. It has little time to foretell the future, except in pointing out the significance of the present. Its subject is today. It is primarily concerned with facts.(主要特点之一是时效性和相关性。没有多少时间谈论过去，除了与现在进行比较。除了指出现在的意义外，几乎没有时间来预测未来。它的主题是今天。它主要关注事实。)”可知，后文分别阐述了新闻写作的及时性、相关性以及关注事实等特点，还提到写作目的，F选项Journalistic writing differs mainly in its subject matter and purpose. (新闻写作的不同之处在于它的主题和目的。)“可知，能够概括该段内容，引出下文对新闻写作特点和目的的具体描述。故选F项。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Some writers, like novelists, write to use beautiful words and sentences.(有些作家，像小说家一样，写作是为了使用优美的词语和句子。)”提到有些作家写作是为了使用优美的词语和句子。以及下文“However, the writer who favors a journalistic style uses English simply to tell what he has seen and heard; he realizes that his reader cares more for the things he tells than for the way in which he tells and expresses them.(然而，偏爱新闻风格的作家使用英语只是为了讲述他的所见所闻；他意识到，读者更关心的是他讲述的内容，而不是他讲述和表达这些内容的方式。)”，结合B选项To these imaginative literary writers, they favor expression.(对于这些富有想象力的文学作家来说，他们喜欢表达。)可知，承接上文内容，为对上文内容的语意递进，同时引起下文，起到上下文的承上启下作用。故选B项。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Success in journalistic writing demands two important skills.

He always got whatever he wanted whenever his parents went to the market. Besides, Ben was a good example for other students for his excellent studies. He did his work neatly and was always polite and helpful to everybody. The only thing was that he always managed to get whatever he liked. If he happened to like somebody’s pencils, he was quick to exchange one of his own things for it. One morning, all the children were gathering around Daniel because everybody was appreciating his new pen with his name on it. When the bell rang, everybody rushed downstairs for the PE class. While the children were making their lines, Ben’s teacher Miss Kelly asked him to bring some chalk from the classroom. When Ben entered the classroom, he could not stop himself from looking into Daniel’s bag. He took out the pen to see it once more because he wanted that pen very much at that time. Suddenly, he heard footsteps and quickly put the pen in his pocket. Turning around, he saw Mary entering the class because she was not feeling well. Ben ran out with the chalk in his hand and the pen in his pocket. When everybody came back to the classroom for the next class, Daniel found his pen lost. After Daniel told Miss Kelly that, Kelly thought it must be Mary who took the pen. She punished Mary and Mary started crying. Ben was too afraid to tell the truth and give the pen to Daniel. He could not fall asleep at night at all. When he looked at the pen again and again, the pen no longer looked beautiful to him. He could not forget Mary’s sad face. He felt sorry for Mary because she had been punished for his mistake. 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。 He decided to say sorry to Mary and return the pen to Daniel. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Miss Kelly was surprised after hearing Ben’s words. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 He decided to say sorry to Mary and return the pen to Daniel. The next morning, Ben nervously approached Mary in the playground. He apologized sincerely, telling her the truth about what had happened. Mary was surprised at first, but soon she smiled gently, forgiving him. After that, Ben went directly to Daniel and handed him the pen. “I’m really sorry,” he said, looking down at the floor. Daniel stared at him for a moment, then smiled and accepted the pen without saying a word. Ben felt a huge relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders. Miss Kelly was surprised after hearing Ben's words. She listened carefully as Ben explained how he had taken the pen and how Mary had been wrongly punished. After a moment of silence, Miss Kelly said, “What matters most is that you took responsibility for your actions.” Ben felt a huge weight lift off his shoulders as he saw Daniel smile and forgive him. In the end, Ben realized that honesty and integrity were worth far more than any pen or possession. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述Ben是一个乖巧优秀的小男孩，唯一的问题是，他总能得到他喜欢的任何东西。有一天见到同学Daniel拿了一支新钢笔，非常喜欢，就把它拿走了。当Daniel发现钢笔不见了，报告给老师，老师认为是Mary拿了钢笔，于是惩罚了Mary，Ben也不敢说出真相。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“他决定向Mary道歉，并把笔还给Daniel。”可知，第一段可描写Ben向Mary和Daniel承认错误，并把钢笔归还给Danie的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“Kelly老师听到Ben的话后很惊讶。”可知，第二段可描写Ben向Kelly老师解释事情的经过，并且得到大家的原谅，减轻了重担，意识到诚实的重要性。 2.续写线索：向Mary道歉——向Daniel道歉并把笔还给Daniel——给Kelly老师解释事情经过——得到大家原谅——Ben减轻了重担——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①接近：approach/be close to/near ②.道歉：apologize/ make an apology ③.对……负责：take responsibility for /be responsible for 情绪类 ①.惊讶的：surprised/amazed ②.温柔地：gently / softly 【点睛】[高分句型1].
