S. devoted to featuring and highlighting both modern and contemporary Latin American art. Founded in 1996 in Long Beach, California, MOLAA has since doubled in size and now boasts over 1,300 works of art.(位于长滩，MOLAA是美国唯一一家致力于展示和突出现当代拉丁美洲艺术的博物馆。MOLAA于1996年在加州长滩成立，此后规模翻了一番，现在拥有1300多件艺术品)”可知，Take in art at the Museum of Latin American Art (MOLAA)与电影无关。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Halloween season is here, and what better way to feel the terrifying atmosphere than by catching some hair-raising classics on the big screen?(万圣节到了，还有什么比在大银幕上看一些令人毛骨悚然的经典电影更好的方式来感受恐怖的气氛呢？)”可知，在活动4中放映恐怖电影是为了配合今年的万圣节。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据活动1中“Location: 6440 Pacific Coast Hwy., Long Beach(地点：长滩太平洋海岸公路6440号)”以及活动2中“Location: 628 Alamitos Avenue, Long Beach(地点：长滩阿拉米托斯大道628号)”可知，前两个活动的共同之处在于都位于长滩。故选D。 B Antonio Cruz and Felix Vargas are teenage best friends who live and breathe the sport of boxing. They train together whenever they can and share a good knowledge of the sport and its stars. Their passion for boxing is a positive element of their lives that has kept them away from gangs and drugs, which are quite common in their New York City neighborhood. One day, Antonio and Felix learn that they are set to fight each other in a fight that will determine which of them goes on to compete in the Golden Gloves — the first step towards a real professional fighting career. Initially, the two friends pretend that their upcoming fight changes nothing. However, they soon agree that they should separate until the fight in order to train independently. In addition to physical training, both Antonio and Felix work to get into the right psychological state to fight their best friend. On fight night, Tompkins Square Park is filled with cheering fans. Because they know each other so well, Felix and Antonio are able to counter (还击) each other’s every move throughout the fight. Bong! Bong! Bong! The bell sounds over and over again. Felix and Antonio are past hearing. Their blows continue to pound on each other like hailstones (冰雹). Finally the referee and the two trainers pull Felix and Antonio apart. Cold water is poured over them to bring them back to their senses. They look around and then rush toward each other. A cry of alarm echoes through Tompkins Square Park. Is this a fight to the death instead of a boxing match? The fear soon gives way to wave upon wave of cheering as the two friends embrace. “Ladies and Gentlemen. The winner and representative to the Golden Gloves Tournament of Champions is…” The announcer turns to point to the winner and finds himself alone. Arm in arm the champions have already left the ring. 4. What can practising boxing in New York City benefit most? A. Strengthening their physical body. B. Having a good knowledge of boxing. C. Developing their good friendship. D. Reducing chances of forming bad habits. 5. How do Antonio and Felix prepare for the coming match? A. Pretend to work hard. B. Go all out for it. C. Practise hard together. D. Share the same coach. 6. What does the audience think of the fight? A. Exciting. B. Unskillful. C. Cheating. D. Regretful. 7. What can we infer about the two teenagers? A. They can’t continue to be good friends. B. They’ll support each other for the Golden Gloves. C. Neither will fight in the Golden Gloves. D. Both of the two teenagers lack true sportsmanship. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Antonio和Felix是热爱拳击的好友，得知将对决争夺金手套参赛资格后，他们分开独立训练。比赛当晚两人激烈对抗，结束后拥抱并携手离开，展现出深厚友谊。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Their passion for boxing is a positive element of their lives that has kept them away from gangs and drugs, which are quite common in their New York City neighborhood. (他们对拳击的热爱是他们生活中积极的因素，使他们远离帮派和毒品，这些在他们的纽约市社区很常见)”可知，在纽约市练习拳击最大的好处是让他们远离帮派和毒品，即减少养成坏习惯的机会。故选D项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“However, they soon agree that they should separate until the fight in order to train independently. In addition to physical training, both Antonio and Felix work to get into the right psychological state to fight their best friend. (然而，他们很快同意，他们应该分开，直到比赛，以便独立训练。除了体能训练，Antonio和Felix都努力进入正确的心理状态，以对抗他们最好的朋友)”可知，他们分开全力以赴为比赛做准备。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Because they know each other so well, Felix and Antonio are able to counter (还击) each other’s every move throughout the fight. Bong! Bong! Bong! The bell sounds over and over again. Felix and Antonio are past hearing. Their blows continue to pound on each other like hailstones (冰雹). (因为他们彼此非常了解，Felix和Antonio能够在整个战斗中反击对方的每一个动作。邦！邦！邦！铃声一遍又一遍地响。Felix和Antonio已经失去了听觉。他们的打击继续像冰雹一样相互撞击)”和“They look around and then rush toward each other. A cry of alarm echoes through Tompkins Square Park. Is this a fight to the death instead of a boxing match? The fear soon gives way to wave upon wave of cheering as the two friends embrace. (他们环顾四周，然后冲向彼此。一声惊叫响彻汤普金斯广场公园。这是一场你死我活的战斗而不是拳击比赛吗？当两个朋友拥抱在一起时，恐惧很快被一波又一波的欢呼所取代)”可知，比赛打得难舍难分，结束时他们还停不下来，观众担心他们会再打起来，但看到他们互相拥抱时观众席上响起欢呼声。由此可知，观众认为比赛很刺激。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The announcer turns to point to the winner and finds himself alone. Arm in arm the champions have already left the ring. (宣布人转身指向赢家，却发现只有他一个人。冠军们已经手挽着手离开了赛场)”可知，两人不在乎比赛结果，也不在乎谁会有资格出征金手套比赛。由此可知，他们都不会去参加这次比赛。故选C项。 C Books passed down through generations often become treasured possessions, carrying a shared family history. One person discussed an old hardcover copy of Blinky Bill by Dorothy Wall. Originally given to her father and his brothers and sisters by their great-aunt in 1961, the book’s pages are now discoloured and falling out. “Although I always think of my mother as having been my reading role model,” she wrote, “actually my father had an equally big impact, just in another way.” Her father is a central organizing figure on her home bookshelf: She has filled a whole shelf with the books he liked. The story she tells about his old copy of Blinky Bill, however, crosses generations. The book’s state can prove that it has a long history and it is well-loved. Its inscription (题词) to her family members makes the copy unique and irreplaceable. Another person remembered a set of Dickens’ novels, complete with notes and century-old newspaper clipping (剪报), carefully stored with her most special books. These volumes, initially owned by her great-great-grandmother and later gifted by her great-aunt, represent a reading bond passed down through generations. Such books can never be replaced, no matter how many copies might be found in the market. These books are closely associated with memories and experiences — they are invaluable for who they represent. A third person has her father’s “old” Anne McCaffrey’s Dragonriders of Pern series: He read it to her as a teenager, then passed it down. The book drew her interest in science-fiction, and she now intends to pass it on to her own teenager, although it is battered. The cover is falling off. 8. How did the first person’s father influence her? A. He became her reading role model. B. He passed down a lot of books. C. He taught her how to read efficiently. D. He instructed her what to read. 9. What is the most probable meaning of the underlined word “battered” in the last paragraph? A. Worn-out. B. Well-maintained. C. Ill-treated. D. Under-valued. 10. Why are specific books mentioned in the text? A. To recommend great books. B. To show their academic position. C. To stress their economic value. D. To prove the truth of the writer’s idea. 11. What suggestion would the writer give us? A Read what your ancestors read. B. Display books passed down. C. Pass on the family reading tradition. D. Treasure the books passed down. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了代代相传书籍往往成为珍贵的财产，承载着共同的家庭历史，并举例论证。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段““Although I always think of my mother as having been my reading role model,” she wrote, “actually my father had an equally big impact, just in another way.” Her father is a central organizing figure on her home bookshelf: She has filled a whole shelf with the books he liked.(“虽然我一直认为母亲是我阅读的榜样，”她写道，“但实际上父亲对我的影响同样大，只是以另一种方式而已。”她的父亲是家里书架上的中心人物：她把他喜欢的书放满了整个书架)”可知，第一个人的父亲传递了很多书籍，从而影响了她。故选B。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“The cover is falling off.(封面掉了下来)”可知，这本书封面掉了下来，说明十分老旧了。故划线词意思是“老旧”。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Books passed down through generations often become treasured possessions, carrying a shared family history. One person discussed an old hardcover copy of Blinky Bill by Dorothy Wall. Originally given to her father and his brothers and sisters by their great-aunt in 1961, the book’s pages are now discoloured and falling out.(代代相传的书籍往往成为珍贵的财产，承载着共同的家庭历史。一个人在讨论多萝西·沃尔的《Blinky Bill》的旧精装本。这本书最初是1961年由她的曾祖母送给她父亲和他的兄弟姐妹们的，现在书页已经变色，脱落了)”；第三段“The story she tells about his old copy of Blinky Bill, however, crosses generations. The book’s state can prove that it has a long history and it is well-loved. (然而，她讲述的关于他那本旧的《Blinky Bill》的故事却代代相传。这本书的状态可以证明它历史悠久，深受喜爱)”以及最后一段“A third person has her father’s “old” Anne McCaffrey’s Dragonriders of Pern series: He read it to her as a teenager, then passed it down. The book drew her interest in science-fiction, and she now intends to pass it on to her own teenager, although it is battered. The cover is falling off.(第三个人有她父亲的“老”安妮·麦卡弗里的《潘恩的龙骑士》系列：他在她十几岁的时候读给她听，然后传给了她。这本书引起了她对科幻小说的兴趣，她现在打算把它传给自己的孩子，尽管它已经破旧不堪。盖子掉下来了)”可知，提及这几本书时并没有重点介绍这几本书的内容、内容对人的影响或者经济价值等，所以主要是为了证明作者观点的真实性。故选D。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Books passed down through generations often become treasured possessions, carrying a shared family history.(代代相传的书籍往往成为珍贵的财产，承载着共同的家庭历史)”可知，作者建议我们珍惜传下来的书。故选D。 D “One issue that hasn’t really been examined much is what happens in the here and now — are we happier spending our money on an experience or on a material item?” says Amit Kumar, assistant professor of marketing at the University of Texas at Austin. “The basic finding from a lot of experiments is that people gain more happiness from their experiences than from their possessions.” The researchers organized 2,635 adults and randomly assigned them to a material or experiential group. The participants received random texts during the day to monitor their emotions and their purchasing behavior. Material purchasers bought things such as jewelry, clothing, or furniture; Experiential shoppers attended sporting events, dined at restaurants, or engaged in other experiences. The results: Happiness was higher for participants who consumed experiential purchases versus material ones in every kind, regardless of the cost of the item. “It would be unfair to compare a shirt to a trip, but when we explain the reason for price, we still see this result where experiences are associated with more happiness,” Kumar says. To address possible differences in types of consumers, the researchers conducted a second study in which they asked more than 5,000 participants to first rate their happiness and then report whether they had used, enjoyed, or consumed either a material or experiential purchase within the past hour. If they responded “yes”, researchers asked participants a series of questions and details about their purchase. “We still observed the same effect,” Kumar says. “When the very same person was consuming an experience, that was associated with more happiness.” The researchers concluded that people are happier with experiential purchases over material ones irrespective of when you measure happiness: before, during, or after consumption. Experiences also bring more satisfaction even though people typically spend more time using their material possessions. The researchers say a possible explanation is the endurance of experiences in people’s memories, while the perceived value of material goods weakens over time. 12. Why was the second experiment conducted? A. To expect a different result. B. To have subjects of more varieties. C. To balance the two groups. D. To have more experiential purchasers. 13. What do the two experiments want to prove? A. Experiences supply more happiness. B. Material possessions bring more happiness. C. Two experiments show different results. D. Believable results come from more repetitions. 14. What is the possible reason for the result? A. Happiness from material possessions never stay in the memories. B. Material possessions can create much less happiness in the mind. C. Happiness from experiential purchases lasts longer in the memories. D. Experiential purchases can probably create happiness more quickly. 15. What is the most suitable title for the text? A. Wider Experiences, and more Happiness for You. B. More Money on Purchases and Longer Happiness. C. To Be Happier, Try to Remember more Experiences. D. To Feel Happier, Spend on Experiences not Stuff. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了研究发现体验会比物质带来更多的快乐，解释了研究开展的经过和发现。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“To address possible differences in types of consumers, the researchers conducted a second study in which they asked more than 5,000 participants to first rate their happiness and then report whether they had used, enjoyed, or consumed either a material or experiential purchase within the past hour.(为了解决消费者类型之间可能存在差异，研究人员进行了第二项研究，他们要求5000多名参与者首先对他们的幸福感进行评估，然后报告他们在过去一小时内是否使用、享受或消费了物质或体验性购买)”可知，要进行第二次实验是为了让调查对象更加多样化。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The results: Happiness was higher for participants who consumed experiential purchases versus material ones in every kind, regardless of the cost of the item.(结果是：无论商品的价格如何，体验式购物的参与者都比物质购物的参与者更快乐)”以及第七段““We still observed the same effect,” Kumar says. “When the very same person was consuming an experience, that was associated with more happiness.”(“我们仍然观察到同样的效果，”库马尔说。“当同一个人体验某种体验时，这种体验会带来更多的幸福感。”)”可知，这两个实验想要证明体验提供更多的幸福。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The researchers say a possible explanation is the endurance of experiences in people’s memories, while the perceived value of material goods weakens over time.(研究人员说，一种可能的解释是，体验在人们记忆中的持久性，而物质商品的感知价值随着时间的推移而减弱)”可知，这个结果可能的原因是体验带来的快乐在记忆中留存的时间更长。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“The basic finding from a lot of experiments is that people gain more happiness from their experiences than from their possessions.(许多实验基本发现是，人们从经历中获得的快乐比从财产中获得的快乐更多)”以及最后一段“The researchers say a possible explanation is the endurance of experiences in people’s memories, while the perceived value of material goods weakens over time.(研究人员说，一种可能的解释是，体验在人们记忆中的持久性，而物质商品的感知价值随着时间的推移而减弱)”结合文章主要说明了研究发现体验会比物质带来更多的快乐，解释了研究开展的经过和发现。可知，D选项“想要感觉更快乐，把钱花在体验上，而不是物质上”最符合文章标题。故选D。 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Trees Provide Many Additional Benefits ___16___ Planting trees near your home can reduce the need to run your air conditioner by 30% and lower your heating bill by 20% to 50%, says the U. S. Forest Service. Shade from trees keeps your house cooler, so you don’t have to run your air conditioner as much on hot summer days. Trees can also block winter winds that creep into your home through windows and doors. Trees can improve your mental health. A study from The Nature Conservancy found that time in nature around trees correlated with a drop in anxiety and depression. ___17___ The solution for the city blues? Nature, specifically trees. Just looking at trees lowers blood pressure and muscle tension within five minutes, according to a Texas A&M study. Trees increase health. Neighborhoods with a high tree density (密度) rate report 25% lower childhood asthma (哮喘) rates, Lambe says. “Trees filter air pollution particles (颗粒) out of the air we breathe, so they give us cleaner air.” ___18___ Trees make city areas cooler and safer. “Trees provide shade, and they cool cities as much as 10°F,” Lambe says. “___19___” And get this: a Baltimore study found that crime decreased in neighborhoods where there were more trees. One might conclude that people obeyed the law better because wealthier neighborhoods tend to have more trees. The study controlled for that consideration and adjusted their models for a range of socioeconomic factors. ___20___ A. Trees make your house greener. B. Trees can lower your power bill. C. That can prevent heat-related deaths. D. Every tree helps, and the benefits add up. E. Trees still came out as being crime fighters. F. Studies find people living in the city have higher levels of stress. G. One study found trees prevented 850 deaths from asthma in a single year. 【答案】16. B 17. F 18. G 19. C 20. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了树木多所带来的一些好处。 【16题详解】 根据本段内容“Planting trees near your home can reduce the need to run your air conditioner by 30% and lower your heating bill by 20% to 50%, says the U. S. Forest Service. Shade from trees keeps your house cooler, so you don’t have to run your air conditioner as much on hot summer days. Trees can also block winter winds that creep into your home through windows and doors.(美国林务局说，在你家附近种树可以减少30%的空调需求，减少20%到50%的取暖费。树荫让你的房子更凉爽，所以你不必在炎热的夏天开那么多空调。树木还可以阻挡冬天的风从窗户和门爬进你的家)”可知，第一段主要讲夏天因为树荫室内凉爽少开空调，冬天因为树可挡风，室内少风也可少开空调，所以就节约钱。故B选项“树木可以降低你的电费”符合语境，故选B。 【17题详解】 根据标题“Trees can improve your mental health.(树木可以改善你的心理健康)”以及后文“The solution for the city blues?(如何解决城市忧郁？)”可知，本段讲树能够增进精神健康，城里的人压力更大，解决的方案就是多种树。故F选项“研究发现生活在城市里的人压力更大”符合语境，故选F。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Neighborhoods with a high tree density rate report 25% lower childhood asthma rates, Lambe says. “Trees filter air pollution particles out of the air we breathe, so they give us cleaner air.”(兰贝说，树木密度高的社区儿童哮喘发病率要低25%。“树木过滤了我们呼吸的空气中的空气污染颗粒，所以它们给了我们更清洁的空气。”)”可知，上文提到树可以增进身体健康，G选项中asthma对应上文asthma。故G选项“一项研究发现树木在一年内防止850人死于哮喘”符合语境，故选G。 【19题详解】 根据上文““Trees provide shade, and they cool cities as much as 10°F,” Lambe says.(兰贝说：“树木提供阴凉，使城市降温10华氏度。”)”可知，上文讲树荫会使城市凉爽，这样就会减少因热导致的人口死亡。故C选项“这可以防止与热有关的死亡”符合语境，故选C。 【20题详解】 根据上文“And get this: a Baltimore study found that crime decreased in neighborhoods where there were more trees. One might conclude that people obeyed the law better because wealthier neighborhoods tend to have more trees. The study controlled for that consideration and adjusted their models for a range of socioeconomic factors.(巴尔的摩的一项研究发现，树木越多的社区，犯罪率就越低。有人可能会得出这样的结论：人们更遵守法律，因为富裕的社区往往有更多的树木。该研究控制了这一因素，并根据一系列社会经济因素调整了他们的模型)”可知，上文提到树多的社区犯罪率就低。故E选项“树木仍然是犯罪斗士”符合语境，故选E。 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。 Watching your parents become grandparents is a beautiful experience, but it often comes with disagreements or differences in opinion on how you are ___21___ your kids.

The grandmother didn’t think it was ___27___ that her granddaughter was drinking out of a cup that ___28___, but admitted that it’s not her decision to make. “I’m not the decision maker. I’m not the ___29___: I’m the Mum-Mum, the privileged Mum-Mum that gets to babysit her,” she explained. She respected her daughter’s ___30___, and said that her granddaughter drank her milk with no ___31___. “So I guess my daughter was ___32___, and that’s really what I wanted to say to the other grandmothers: You don’t have to ___33___, but you have to do it,” she finished.

A young boy runs up and attempts to snatch the bag, only to fall over. The woman kicks him. Still firmly holding the boy’s shirtfront, the woman tells him to pick up her now-broken purse and hand it back to her. She scolds the boy and asks why he tries to rob her, to which he responds, “I didn’t aim to, but I only wanted to buy a pair of blue suede shoes.” Quickly rejecting this as a lie, the woman asks whether the boy will run if she lets go of him. He responds yes. The woman then points out the boy’s dirty face and confirms that he doesn’t have anybody at home telling him to wash it. She declares that she will wash it herself and begins dragging the “frightened boy” to her own house. The boy, who looks “as if he were fourteen or fifteen,” is not strong, in tennis shoes and blue jeans. The woman declares that if he were her “son” she’d teach him “right from wrong” and asks if he’s hungry. The boy only wants her to let him go, but she reminds him that his actions first put them together. “When I get through with you, sir,” she says, “you are going to remember Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones.” The young boy continues to struggle uselessly as Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones physically controls him. She takes him to her room in a boarding house—a small, one-bedroom space equipped with a kitchenette. She asks the boy for his name: Roger. Telling him to clean up his face, she provides him with warm water and a towel. When Roger asks if Mrs. Jones will take him to prison, she answers jokingly: “With that face, I would take you nowhere.” Then, she quickly changes from the conversation to dinner. 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。 While Mrs. Jones makes dinner, Roger asks if she needs him to run to the store. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Mrs. Jones surprises Roger. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 While Mrs. Jones makes dinner, Roger asks if she needs him to run to the store. She checks if he wants “sweet milk” rather than “canned” for cocoa. Hearing no, she is sure she has enough food for their purposes. She makes him dinner, and leads him through a conversation about her life. The woman does not ask the boy anything about where he lives, or his folks, or anything else that would embarrass him. She shares the food she has — including giving him half of the “ten-cent cake”. Mrs. Jones surprises Roger. When they finish eating, she gets up and says, “Now, here, take this ten dollars and buy yourself a pair of blue suede shoes. And next time, do not make the mistake again — because shoes got in evil ways will burn your feet. I wish you would behave yourself, son, from here on in.” She leads him down the hall to the front door and opens it. “Good-night! Behave yourself, boy!” she says, looking out into the street. He barely manages to say “Thank you” before she shuts the door. And he never sees her again. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了可怜的Roger生活贫困，于是他抢了琼斯太太的钱包，但是却摔倒了。Roger本以为会被琼斯太太责骂，但是琼斯太太却给了Roger终身难忘的回忆。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当琼斯太太做晚饭时，罗杰问她是否需要他跑一趟商店”可知，第一段可描写琼斯太太为罗杰煮饭的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“琼斯太太让罗杰大吃一惊”可知，第二段可描写琼斯太太给了罗杰钱买鞋，最后两人告别。 2.续写线索：做晚饭——共享晚餐——罗杰吃惊——琼斯太太给钱——送走罗杰——两人告别 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①询问：ask/inquire ②购买：buy/purchase ③关闭：shut/close 情绪类 ①使尴尬：embarrass/abash ②感谢：thank you/show gratitude to 【点睛】[高分句型1] She checks if he wants “sweet milk” rather than “canned” for cocoa.

They train together whenever they can and share a good knowledge of the sport and its stars. Their passion for boxing is a positive element of their lives that has kept them away from gangs and drugs, which are quite common in their New York City neighborhood. One day, Antonio and Felix learn that they are set to fight each other in a fight that will determine which of them goes on to compete in the Golden Gloves — the first step towards a real professional fighting career. Initially, the two friends pretend that their upcoming fight changes nothing. However, they soon agree that they should separate until the fight in order to train independently. In addition to physical training, both Antonio and Felix work to get into the right psychological state to fight their best friend. On fight night, Tompkins Square Park is filled with cheering fans. Because they know each other so well, Felix and Antonio are able to counter (还击) each other’s every move throughout the fight. Bong! Bong! Bong! The bell sounds over and over again. Felix and Antonio are past hearing. Their blows continue to pound on each other like hailstones (冰雹). Finally the referee and the two trainers pull Felix and Antonio apart. Cold water is poured over them to bring them back to their senses. They look around and then rush toward each other. A cry of alarm echoes through Tompkins Square Park. Is this a fight to the death instead of a boxing match? The fear soon gives way to wave upon wave of cheering as the two friends embrace. “Ladies and Gentlemen. The winner and representative to the Golden Gloves Tournament of Champions is…” The announcer turns to point to the winner and finds himself alone. Arm in arm the champions have already left the ring. 4. What can practising boxing in New York City benefit most? A. Strengthening their physical body. B. Having a good knowledge of boxing. C.

A. They can’t continue to be good friends. B. They’ll support each other for the Golden Gloves. C. Neither will fight in the Golden Gloves. D. Both of the two teenagers lack true sportsmanship. C Books passed down through generations often become treasured possessions, carrying a shared family history. One person discussed an old hardcover copy of Blinky Bill by Dorothy Wall. Originally given to her father and his brothers and sisters by their great-aunt in 1961, the book’s pages are now discoloured and falling out. “Although I always think of my mother as having been my reading role model,” she wrote, “actually my father had an equally big impact, just in another way.” Her father is a central organizing figure on her home bookshelf: She has filled a whole shelf with the books he liked. The story she tells about his old copy of Blinky Bill, however, crosses generations. The book’s state can prove that it has a long history and it is well-loved. Its inscription (题词) to her family members makes the copy unique and irreplaceable. Another person remembered a set of Dickens’ novels, complete with notes and century-old newspaper clipping (剪报), carefully stored with her most special books. These volumes, initially owned by her great-great-grandmother and later gifted by her great-aunt, represent a reading bond passed down through generations. Such books can never be replaced, no matter how many copies might be found in the market. These books are closely associated with memories and experiences — they are invaluable for who they represent. A third person has her father’s “old” Anne McCaffrey’s Dragonriders of Pern series: He read it to her as a teenager, then passed it down. The book drew her interest in science-fiction, and she now intends to pass it on to her own teenager, although it is battered. The cover is falling off. 8. How did the first person’s father influence her? A. He became her reading role model. B. He passed down a lot of books. C. He taught her how to read efficiently. D. He instructed her what to read. 9. What is the most probable meaning of the underlined word “battered” in the last paragraph? A. Worn-out. B. Well-maintained. C. Ill-treated. D. Under-valued. 10. Why are specific books mentioned in the text? A. To recommend great books. B. To show their academic position. C. To stress their economic value. D. To prove the truth of the writer’s idea. 11. What suggestion would the writer give us? A. Read what your ancestors read. B. Display books passed down. C. Pass on the family reading tradition. D. Treasure the books passed down. D “One issue that hasn’t really been examined much is what happens in the here and now — are we happier spending our money on an experience or on a material item?” says Amit Kumar, assistant professor of marketing at the University of Texas at Austin. “The basic finding from a lot of experiments is that people gain more happiness from their experiences than from their possessions.” The researchers organized 2,635 adults and randomly assigned them to a material or experiential group. The participants received random texts during the day to monitor their emotions and their purchasing behavior. Material purchasers bought things such as jewelry, clothing, or furniture; Experiential shoppers attended sporting events, dined at restaurants, or engaged in other experiences. The results: Happiness was higher for participants who consumed experiential purchases versus material ones in every kind, regardless of the cost of the item. “It would be unfair to compare a shirt to a trip, but when we explain the reason for price, we still see this result where experiences are associated with more happiness,” Kumar says. To address possible differences in types of consumers, the researchers conducted a second study in which they asked more than 5,000 participants to first rate their happiness and then report whether they had used, enjoyed, or consumed either a material or experiential purchase within the past hour. If they responded “yes”, researchers asked participants a series of questions and details about their purchase. “We still observed the same effect,” Kumar says. “When the very same person was consuming an experience, that was associated with more happiness.” The researchers concluded that people are happier with experiential purchases over material ones irrespective of when you measure happiness: before, during, or after consumption. Experiences also bring more satisfaction even though people typically spend more time using their material possessions. The researchers say a possible explanation is the endurance of experiences in people’s memories, while the perceived value of material goods weakens over time. 12. Why was the second experiment conducted? A. To expect a different result. B. To have subjects of more varieties. C. To balance the two groups. D. To have more experiential purchasers. 13. What do the two experiments want to prove? A. Experiences supply more happiness. B. Material possessions bring more happiness. C. Two experiments show different results. D.

A young boy runs up and attempts to snatch the bag, only to fall over. The woman kicks him. Still firmly holding the boy’s shirtfront, the woman tells him to pick up her now-broken purse and hand it back to her. She scolds the boy and asks why he tries to rob her, to which he responds, “I didn’t aim to, but I only wanted to buy a pair of blue suede shoes.” Quickly rejecting this as a lie, the woman asks whether the boy will run if she lets go of him. He responds yes. The woman then points out the boy’s dirty face and confirms that he doesn’t have anybody at home telling him to wash it. She declares that she will wash it herself and begins dragging the “frightened boy” to her own house. The boy, who looks “as if he were fourteen or fifteen,” is not strong, in tennis shoes and blue jeans. The woman declares that if he were her “son” she’d teach him “right from wrong” and asks if he’s hungry. The boy only wants her to let him go, but she reminds him that his actions first put them together. “When I get through with you, sir,” she says, “you are going to remember Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones.” The young boy continues to struggle uselessly as Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones physically controls him. She takes him to her room in a boarding house—a small, one-bedroom space equipped with a kitchenette. She asks the boy for his name: Roger. Telling him to clean up his face, she provides him with warm water and a towel. When Roger asks if Mrs. Jones will take him to prison, she answers jokingly: “With that face, I would take you nowhere.” Then, she quickly changes from the conversation to dinner. 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。 While Mrs. Jones makes dinner, Roger asks if she needs him to run to the store. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Mrs. Jones surprises Roger. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1～5 BACAC 6～10 BCABB 11～15ABACB 16～20 AACBC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
