Over seven years, he walked 48,000 kilometers across six continents and 38 countries - most of it with his dog Savannah. Speaking to CNN, Turcich explained that, after a friend died in an accident at age 17 he started to look at life differently, and decided to go on a journey around the world. It took over eight years of saving and planning before Turcich finally left his home on April 2, 2015 - just before his 26th birthday - on his way to Panama. He had a stroller to carry his hiking equipment, a sleeping bag, a laptop, a camera and a box of food. About four months into the journey, Turcich adopted Savannah from, an animal shelter in Texas. She joined him for the rest of the trip, becoming the first dog to walk around the world. The pair walked around 30-40 kilometers a day, spending most nights camping. Some parts could not be done on foot, however - such as when Turcich and Savannah took a boat from Uruguay to Antarctica. In late 2017, Turcich had to return home to recover from an illness he got while traveling through Ireland and the UK. He and Savannah started walking again in May 2018, going through Europe, North Africa and Turkey before getting stuck in Azerbaijan for six months because of the COVID-19 pandemic. They were able to travel to Kyrgyzstan before taking a plane to Seattle. From there, he and Savannah walked back to New Jersey. Turcich said the most difficult place to walk through was “desolate“ Wyoming. Now that he’s back home, Turcich says he wants to stay in one place for a while - and write a book about his trip. 4. What led to Turcich’s decision to walk around the world? A. His thoughtful plan before a birthday. B. His different attitude towards travelling. C. The death of his friend at an early age. D. The adoption of Savannah from a shelter. 5. What can we know about the Turcich and Savannah according to the text? A. They spent most of nights in hotels during the trip. B. Their journey has been recorded in Turcich’s book. C. Their trip was once interrupted due to Turcich’s illness. D. The most challenging place for them to walk through was Azerbaijan. 6. What kind of person is Turcich according to the text? A. Creative and curious. B. Brave and determined. C. Caring and intelligent. D. Humorous and cautious. 7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To persuade people to travel with a reliable animal. B. To motivate young people to take a worldwide walking trip. C. To emphasize the importance of an unforgettable travel experience. D. To share a story about a man and a dog’s walking around the world. 【答案】4. C 5. C 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，文章讲述了Tom Turcich成为第十个环游世界的人，在七年多的时间里，他和他的狗萨凡纳走过了4.8万公里，横跨六大洲和38个国家。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二题中“Speaking to CNN, Turcich explained that, after a friend died in an accident at age 17 he started to look at life differently, and decided to go on a journey around the world. (在接受CNN采访时，Tom Turcich解释说，在他17岁时一个朋友死于一场事故后，他开始以不同的方式看待生活，并决定进行一次环球旅行。)”可知，一个朋友的意外离世促使Tom Turcich开始环球旅行。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“In late 2017, Turcich had to return home to recover from an illness he got while traveling through Ireland and the UK.( 2017年底，Turcich 在爱尔兰和英国旅行时生病，不得不回国养病。)”可知，他们的旅行一度因Turcich的病而中断。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中“About four months into the journey, Turcich adopted Savannah from, an animal shelter in Texas. She joined him for the rest of the trip, becoming the first dog to walk around the world. The pair walked around 30-40 kilometers a day, spending most nights camping. Some parts could not be done on foot, however - such as when lurcich and Savannah took a boat from Uruguay to Antarctica.

I was flooded with feelings of relief and excitement. It was a miracle that the American Dream had exposed its colors in my favor. Upon arrival at the campus ambition burned within me. I imagined becoming President of the Student Union, a member of Cardinal Calypso, and so on. I wanted Stanford to be a place for me to really learn about the vast world. I was extremely occupied beyond the classroom. As an active member of nearly twelve VSOs (Voluntary Service Overseas), I could hardly focus on my study. Ultimately, my academic journey at Stanford was characterized by a lack of consistency (连贯性). The letter informing me of my academic suspension (停学) did not come as a surprise.I knew I would have to face consequences. Fortunately, Infomineo, a research organization, offered me the opportunity to complete a six-month internship (实习) . This experience has done wonders for me, giving me insight into who I am, what I want to do, where I want to be, and how I can get there. I should have known that the freshman year is about testing out courses and extra-curriculars, and that each decision should end up helping me in the future. Most significantly, I’ve learned big changes are born of little consistencies. This is what I will carry for the rest of my life, especially at Stanford University. Consistently attending professors’ classes or routinely setting aside time to review notes outside the classroom. This is where I stand now, and ready to tackle Stanford again. This time, with clearer sight of how to accomplish my goals, I feel that I have detected and revealed a new power within me. 8. How did the author feel when arriving at Stanford? A. Excited and nervous. B. Grateful and curious. C. Ambitious and hopeful. D. Relieved and puzzled. 9. What happened to the author at Stanford? A. He was rejected by the Student Union. B. He failed to meet academic requirements. C. He was burdened with heavy schoolwork. D. He managed to establish voluntary groups. 10. Which of the following best describes the author’s internship experience? A. Demanding. B. Beneficial. C. Fruitless. D. Risky. 11. What lesson has the author learnt? A. Dreams work wonders. B. Changes promote progress. C. Consistencies make the difference. D. Opportunities favor the prepared mind. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者在斯坦福大学的求学经历以及明白了一致性决定成败这个道理。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Upon arrival at the campus, ambition burned within me. I imagined becoming President of the Student Union, a member of Cardinal Calypso, and so on. I wanted Stanford to be a place for me to really learn about the vast world.”（一到校园，我的雄心就燃烧起来了。我想象着成为学生会主席，卡吕普索红衣主教的一员，等等。我希望斯坦福成为一个让我真正了解广阔世界的地方。）可知，作者到达斯坦福大学时感到雄心勃勃，充满希望。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“I was extremely occupied beyond the classroom. As an active member of nearly twelve VSOs (Voluntary Service Overseas), I could hardly focus on my study. Ultimately, my academic journey at Stanford was characterized by a lack of consistency . The letter informing me of my academic suspension did not come as a surprise. I knew I would have to face consequences.”（我在教室之外忙得不可开交。作为近12个海外志愿服务(VSOs)的活跃成员，我几乎无法集中精力学习。最终，我在斯坦福大学的学术之旅的特点是缺乏一致性。这封通知我停学的信并不让我感到意外。我知道我必须面对后果。）可知，作者在斯坦福没有达到学业要求。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“This experience has done wonders for me, giving me insight into who I am, what I want to do, where I want to be, and how I can get there. I should have known that the freshman year is about testing out courses and extra-curriculars, and that each decision should end up helping me in the future.”（这段经历对我来说创造了奇迹，让我明白了我是谁，我想做什么，我想去哪里，以及我如何才能达到那里。我应该知道，大一就是测试课程和课外活动，每一个决定最终都应该对我的未来有所帮助。）可推知，作者的实习经历是有好处的，有帮助的。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Ultimately, my academic journey at Stanford was characterized by a lack of consistency .”（最终，我在斯坦福大学的学术之旅的特点是缺乏一致性。）以及最后一段中“Most significantly, I’ve learned big changes are born of little consistencies. This is what I will carry for the rest of my life, especially at Stanford University.”（最重要的是，我了解到巨大的变化源于微小的一致性。我的余生将牢记这一点，尤其是在斯坦福大学。）可推知，作者从中明白了一致性决定成败这个教训。故选C项。 D You spend a third of your life asleep, a certain part of which involves dreaming. But most often, you don’t remember any of your dreams. While the exact reason of why we can hardly recall our dreams is not fully known, scientists have gotten some insight into memory processes during sleep, leading to several ideas that may explain our forgetfulness. You are awake, but is your hippocampus (海马体) awake? When we fall asleep, not all the brain’s regions go offline at the same time. Researchers have found one of the last regions to go to sleep is the hippocampus, a structure in brain that is important for moving information from short-term memory into long-term memory. “If the hippocampus is the last to go to sleep, it could very well be the last to wake up,” said Thomas Andrillon, a neuroscientist at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia. While this might explain why dream memories are so fleeting, it doesn’t mean that your hippocampus has been inactive throughout the night. In fact, this region is quite active during sleep. Sometimes your dreams are just not memorable. Do you remember what you were thinking about this morning when brushing your teeth? Dreams, especially ordinary ones, may be just like daydreaming thoughts and believed by the brain to be too useless to remember. But dreams that are more vivid, emotional and coherent (连贯的) seem to be better remembered. If you are interested in improving your dream recall, there are a few tricks to try. One is drinking water before bed, because it will make you wake up at night to use the bathroom. These middle-of-the-night awakenings are frequently accompanied by dream recall. Repeatedly reminding yourself that you want to remember your dreams may increase your chances, and so does keeping a dream journal, some studies have suggested. Upon waking up, hang on to that fragile (脆弱的) dream memory: keep your eyes closed, stay still and replay the dream memory, until your hippocampus catches up and properly stores the memory. 12. What does the underlined word “fleeting” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Inactive. B. Short-lived. C. Significant. D. Slight. 13. You can remember your dreams more easily when you wake up probably because ______. A. your dreams are vivid, emotional and coherent B. you are forgetful and poor in remembering things C. your hippocampus is active in receiving new information D. your brain needs to start up to move dreams into long-term memory 14. Which of the following CANNOT help you to recall a dream? A. Keep reminding yourself of the need to remember your dreams. B. Record what you can remember in your dreams upon awakening. C. Improve the ability of your hippocampus to catch up information. D. Think back on the things in your dreams directly after you wake up. 15. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To tell the importance of dreams. B To present some methods to recall dreams. C. To explain our forgetfulness in dreams. D. To analyze how our brain deal with information. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章解释我们在睡梦中的遗忘。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。第二段“Researchers have found one of the last regions to go to sleep is the hippocampus, a structure in brain that is important for moving information from short-term memory into long-term memory. (研究人员发现，海马体是最后进入睡眠状态的区域之一，海马体是大脑中的一个结构，它对将信息从短期记忆转移到长期记忆很重要。)”和划线词前的“If the hippocampus is the last to go to sleep, it could very well be the last to wake up.( 如果海马体是最后一个入睡的，那么它很可能是最后一个醒来的。)”说明海马体能够将信息从短期记忆转移到长期记忆，但是它可能最后醒来，所以人们梦的记忆往往是短期的，从而推知划线词所在句“While this might explain why dream memories are so fleeting, it doesn’t mean that your hippocampus has been inactive throughout the night. (虽然这可以解释为什么梦的记忆如此fleeting，但这并不意味着你的海马体整晚都不活跃。)”其中划线词汇意思是“短暂的，短期的”。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“But dreams that are more vivid, emotional and coherent (连贯的) seem to be better remembered. (但更生动、更情绪化、更连贯的梦似乎更容易被记住。)”可知，因为你的梦生动、情绪化、连贯，所以当你醒来时更容易地记住你的梦。故选A项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Repeatedly reminding yourself that you want to remember your dreams may increase your chances, and so does keeping a dream journal, some studies have suggested. Upon waking up, hang on to that fragile (脆弱的) dream memory: keep your eyes closed, stay still and replay the dream memory, until your hippocampus catches up and properly stores the memory. (一些研究表明，反复提醒自己要记住自己的梦可能会增加你成功的机会，写梦日记也能这样。醒来后，紧紧抓住那些脆弱的梦的记忆：闭上眼睛，保持不动，重放梦的记忆，直到你的海马体赶上并正确地存储记忆。)”可知，要想帮助你回忆起一个梦，你需要不断提醒自己记住梦的必要性、在醒来时记录下你在梦中所能记得的还有醒来后直接回想一下你做过的梦，文中并没有提到提高海马体获取信息的能力。故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，根据第一段中“But most often, you don’t remember any of your dreams. While the exact reason of why we can hardly recall our dreams is not fully known, scientists have gotten some insight into memory processes during sleep, leading to several ideas that may explain our forgetfulness. (但大多数情况下，你不记得你做过的任何梦。虽然我们很难回忆起自己做过的梦的确切原因还不完全清楚，但科学家们已经对睡眠中的记忆过程有了一些了解，并提出了一些可能解释我们健忘的想法。)”可知，文章的主要目的是解释我们在睡梦中的遗忘。故选C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。 Everyone knows that the media can be and is manipulated (操控). Everything that we read on the Internet may not always be true. People have constantly been complaining about lies in the media. ____16____ Here are some tips and tools: Check the domain. Established news organizations usually own their domains and they have a standard look. Many fake ones use similar URLs and domain names, but rather than using a “.com”, they use “.com.co” endings. ____17____ But abcnews. com.co is not! Check the comments. Headlines are meant to get the readers’ attention and reflect what the story is about. ____18____ Headlines are often written in exaggerated (夸张的) language with the intention of being misleading and then attached to stories that are about a completely different topic or just not true. These stories usually generate a lot of comments. If a lot of these comments call out the article for being fake or misleading, it probably is. ____19____ Are there noticeable grammatical errors? Know this -reliable sources have high prootreading and grammatical standards! Is the story of the celebrity current or recycled? Make sure an older story has not been taken out of context. Remember, do not believe everything you see, read or hear. False news travels faster online than real news. ____20____ Read widely instead and consider the other side of a story. Ask, think and check whenever you read an article, hear an opinion or see a picture. A. Guarantee correct grammar. B. So how can we be smart online? C. But lately, that hasn’t been the case. D. Pay attention to quality and timeliness. E. For example, abcnews.com is a legal news source. F. You can use most search engines to find more information. G. Do not define your opinions and views because of one article you have read. 【答案】16. B 17. E 18. C 19. D 20. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章就如何辨别网络上信息真假提出了一些实用的技巧和方法。 【16题详解】 根据前文“Everything that we read on the Internet may not always be true. People have constantly been complaining about lies in the media. ”（我们在互联网上读到的一切可能并不总是正确的。人们一直在抱怨媒体的谎言。）可知，对于网络上虚假的信息，人们对这种现象一直都在埋怨。下文“Here are some tips and tools”（这里有一些（辨别网络上虚假信息的）技巧和工具。）可知，接下来的内容描述的是的如何辨别网络上信息真假的技巧和方法。因而，空处的内容可以提出问题：如何成为一个智慧的网络使用者呢？选项B.“那么我们怎样才能在网上变得聪明呢？”，切题，故选B。 【17题详解】 根据前文“Many fake ones use similar URLs and domain names, but rather than using a “.com”, they use “.com.co” endings. ”（许多假冒的域名使用相似的 URL 和域名，但他们不使用“ . com”，而是使用“ . com.co”结尾。）可知，通过域名的形式可以区分网站的真假。因此空处应该承接前文，举出事例说明。选项E.“例如，abcnews.com 是一个合法的新闻来源。”以例子证实真正存在的网站的网址，且和下文“But abcnews. com.co is not!”（但是 abcnews. com.co不是！）在逻辑上相一致，切题，故选E。 【18题详解】 前文“Headlines are meant to get the readers’ attention and reflect what the story is about. ”（标题是为了吸引读者的注意力，反映故事的内容。）说明一般情形下，标题可以反映故事的内容，具有概括性。下文“Headlines are often written in exaggerated (夸张的) language with the intention of being misleading and then attached to stories that are about a completely different topic or just not true.”（新闻标题通常是用夸张的语言写的，目的是误导读者，然后附加到关于一个完全不同的主题或不真实的故事上。）可知，虚假的新闻的标题并不能如实的反映其真实的内容。因而，空处的内容应为虚假标题的情形和通常标题的特点不一样。选项C.“但最近，情况并非如此。”利用转折词“but”引出虚假的标题并非如此，符合题意，故选C。 【19题详解】 根据下文“Are there noticeable grammatical errors? Know this -reliable sources have high. prootreading and grammatical standards! Is the story of the celebrity current or recycled? Make sure an older story has not been taken out of context.”（是否有明显的语法错误? 要知道——可靠的来源有很高的校对和语法标准！这个名人的故事是流行的还是循环利用的？确保一个旧的故事没有被断章取义。）可知，可靠的网站的内容在语法上都是正确的，且它的内容都是最新的，不会拿以前的故事或者断章取义来博得网民的关注。因而，本段讲述可以关注网站内容和时效来辨别真假。选项D.“Pay attention to quality and timeliness.”（注意质量和时间。）符合题意，故选D。 【20题详解】 根据前文“Remember, do not believe everything you see, read or hear. False news travels faster online than real news. ”（记住，不要相信你所看到的、读到的或听到的一切。假新闻在网上传播的速度比真新闻快。）可知，网上看到的某个信息可能会是假信息，因为假新闻在网上传播的速度比真新闻快。下文“Read widely instead and consider the other side of a story.”（要广泛阅读，并考虑故事的另一面。）强调广泛阅读可以确保获得的信息的真实性。因此，空处的内容应为不要因为一篇自己读过的文章就确定某个信息。选项G.“不要因为你读过的一篇文章而定义你的观点和看法。”符合题意，故选G。 第三部分语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节完形填空(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。 Silence is important for learning.

At first, I thought someone had died, because I had never seen my parents look so sad. My brothers and I stood waiting for the awful news. Mom hugged me as she murmured, “Christmas is going to be different this year. We won't be having a tree or presents. We can barely afford food.”Dad, resting on the couch, beckoned (招手示意) the boys into his arms.“Things will change when I get back to work.” My family was poorer than dirt. Dad, the only bread-earner in our family, worked in a coal mine. However, soon after returning to work at the end of a long strike, Dad was hurt in a rock fall that broke bones in his foot. Lying on the couch with the swollen foot high on pillows, he didn't talk or smile much. There was little to smile about. No work, no income. At nine years old, I mothered my younger brothers: Rodney, aged six, and Stevie, three. We shared a small bedroom. That night, after our parents’ announcement, we talked. Rodney began. “Em, did you see how sad Mommy and Daddy looked? I thought Mommy was gonna cry. “Me, too. Daddy's foot’s … this big” whispered Stevie, holding out his arms. “Yeah..We're in hard times," I said.“It makes Mommy and Daddy sad." “But we don't have to be sad," I added, hoping to brighten the mood. “Since there are still several weeks to go, maybe we can do something to cheer them up," I said with overdone enthusiasm. The boys proposed, “We can take the money from our piggy bank...earn some more..and surprise them with gifts!" “I can run errands(跑腿) for Aunt Em and neighbors to earn money," I offered. “Yeah," Rodney added, “I and Stevie can return bottles and save the deposit money... instead of buying candy!" He pushed Stevie gently with his elbow. “Yeah!”Stevie clutched his hands together. We had a plan! Until they nodded off, I coached my little brothers (especially Stevie) in ways to guard our secret. “Don't talk about it during the day." 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。 We awoke in the morning, transforming from sad children to the secret agents on an important mission! ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On Christmas morning, we hurried into the living room and handed the gifts to Mommy and Daddy. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 We awoke in the morning，transforming from sad children to the secret agents on an important mission! The following weeks saw me dashing home from school each day determined to earn a penny. I was usually greeted by secret winks and grins- one with a missing tooth, and the other with tiny, straight teeth- both assuring me our secret was safe. A few days before Christmas, we gleefully went shopping. We bought Mom a new apron, and for Dad, a pair of leather slippers. The night of Christmas Eve seemed endless. I awoke occasionally, or one of my brothers woke me asking, “How long till daylight?” On Christmas morning, we hurried into the living room and handed the gifts to Mommy and Daddy. Surprised and stunned, they showered us with tons of confusing questions. “How did you..?” “Where did you..?” “Who gave you...?"" As we explained how we'd schemed, earned and saved our money, their faces relaxed into expressions of astonishment. Then, with glistening tears, Mom and Dad wrapped us three into their arms. On this special Christmas morning, with the five of us hugging, talking, laughing and listening with fresh affection and gratitude, I understood that rich or poor, we would keep together and be happy in one another. 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章以故事发展为线索，作者的爸爸是家里唯一的收入来源，在爸爸受伤无法工作后，作者家里变得十分贫困，没有钱买圣诞礼物，作者和弟弟们商量后决定瞒着父母一起出去赚钱来给爸妈准备圣诞礼物，让爸妈开心起来的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我们早上醒来，从悲伤的孩子变成了执行重要任务的特工!”可知，第一段可以描写如何秘密的执行任务，通过赚的钱给爸爸妈妈准备圣诞礼物，以及等待送礼物前激动的心情。 ②由第二段首句内容“圣诞节的早晨，我们匆匆走进客厅，把礼物递给了爸爸妈妈。”可知，第二段可描写爸爸妈妈收到礼物时的惊讶，然后解释如何准备礼物的过程，最终大家开开心心地度过了一个难忘的圣诞节。最后升华主题，无论贫穷，只要有爱，一家人在一起就是幸福。 2.续写线索：保密筹钱——准备礼物——激动心情——赠送礼物——解释原因——开心过节——感悟人生 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①决定做某事：determine to do/decide to do ②冲回家：dash home/rush home/hurry home 情绪类 ①惊讶的：astonished/surprised/stunned ②开心地：gleefully/delightedly/happily 【点睛】[高分句型1].

Over seven years, he walked 48,000 kilometers across six continents and 38 countries - most of it with his dog Savannah. Speaking to CNN, Turcich explained that, after a friend died in an accident at age 17 he started to look at life differently, and decided to go on a journey around the world. It took over eight years of saving and planning before Turcich finally left his home on April 2, 2015 - just before his 26th birthday - on his way to Panama. He had a stroller to carry his hiking equipment, a sleeping bag, a laptop, a camera and a box of food. About four months into the journey, Turcich adopted Savannah from, an animal shelter in Texas. She joined him for the rest of the trip, becoming the first dog to walk around the world. The pair walked around 30-40 kilometers a day, spending most nights camping. Some parts could not be done on foot, however - such as when Turcich and Savannah took a boat from Uruguay to Antarctica. In late 2017, Turcich had to return home to recover from an illness he got while traveling through Ireland and the UK. He and Savannah started walking again in May 2018, going through Europe, North Africa and Turkey before getting stuck in Azerbaijan for six months because of the COVID-19 pandemic. They were able to travel to Kyrgyzstan before taking a plane to Seattle. From there, he and Savannah walked back to New Jersey. Turcich said the most difficult place to walk through was “desolate“ Wyoming. Now that he’s back home, Turcich says he wants to stay in one place for a while - and write a book about his trip. 4. What led to Turcich’s decision to walk around the world? A. His thoughtful plan before a birthday. B. His different attitude towards travelling. C. The death of his friend at an early age. D. The adoption of Savannah from a shelter. 5. What can we know about the Turcich and Savannah according to the text? A They spent most of nights in hotels during the trip. B. Their journey has been recorded in Turcich’s book. C. Their trip was once interrupted due to Turcich’s illness. D. The most challenging place for them to walk through was Azerbaijan. 6. What kind of person is Turcich according to the text? A. Creative and curious. B. Brave and determined. C. Caring and intelligent. D. Humorous and cautious. 7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To persuade people to travel with a reliable animal. B To motivate young people to take a worldwide walking trip. C. To emphasize the importance of an unforgettable travel experience. D. To share a story about a man and a dog’s walking around the world. C I got the opportunity to pursue an unmatchable educational vision at Stanford University. I was flooded with feelings of relief and excitement. It was a miracle that the American Dream had exposed its colors in my favor. Upon arrival at the campus, ambition burned within me. I imagined becoming President of the Student Union, a member of Cardinal Calypso, and so on. I wanted Stanford to be a place for me to really learn about the vast world. I was extremely occupied beyond the classroom. As an active member of nearly twelve VSOs (Voluntary Service Overseas), I could hardly focus on my study. Ultimately, my academic journey at Stanford was characterized by a lack of consistency (连贯性). The letter informing me of my academic suspension (停学) did not come as a surprise.I knew I would have to face consequences. Fortunately, Infomineo, a research organization, offered me the opportunity to complete a six-month internship (实习) . This experience has done wonders for me, giving me insight into who I am, what I want to do, where I want to be, and how I can get there. I should have known that the freshman year is about testing out courses and extra-curriculars, and that each decision should end up helping me in the future. Most significantly, I’ve learned big changes are born of little consistencies. This is what I will carry for the rest of my life, especially at Stanford University. Consistently attending professors’ classes or routinely setting aside time to review notes outside the classroom. This is where I stand now, and ready to tackle Stanford again. This time, with clearer sight of how to accomplish my goals, I feel that I have detected and revealed a new power within me. 8. How did the author feel when arriving at Stanford? A. Excited and nervous. B. Grateful and curious. C. Ambitious and hopeful. D. Relieved and puzzled. 9. What happened to the author at Stanford? A. He was rejected by the Student Union. B. He failed to meet academic requirements. C. He was burdened with heavy schoolwork. D. He managed to establish voluntary groups. 10. Which of the following best describes the author’s internship experience? A. Demanding. B. Beneficial. C. Fruitless. D. Risky. 11. What lesson has the author learnt? A. Dreams work wonders. B. Changes promote progress. C. Consistencies make the difference. D. Opportunities favor the prepared mind. D You spend a third of your life asleep, a certain part of which involves dreaming. But most often, you don’t remember any of your dreams. While the exact reason of why we can hardly recall our dreams is not fully known, scientists have gotten some insight into memory processes during sleep, leading to several ideas that may explain our forgetfulness. You are awake, but is your hippocampus (海马体) awake? When we fall asleep, not all the brain’s regions go offline at the same time. Researchers have found one of the last regions to go to sleep is the hippocampus, a structure in brain that is important for moving information from short-term memory into long-term memory. “If the hippocampus is the last to go to sleep, it could very well be the last to wake up,” said Thomas Andrillon, a neuroscientist at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia. While this might explain why dream memories are so fleeting, it doesn’t mean that your hippocampus has been inactive throughout the night. In fact, this region is quite active during sleep. Sometimes your dreams are just not memorable. Do you remember what you were thinking about this morning when brushing your teeth? Dreams, especially ordinary ones, may be just like daydreaming thoughts and believed by the brain to be too useless to remember. But dreams that are more vivid, emotional and coherent (连贯的) seem to be better remembered. If you are interested in improving your dream recall, there are a few tricks to try. One is drinking water before bed, because it will make you wake up at night to use the bathroom. These middle-of-the-night awakenings are frequently accompanied by dream recall. Repeatedly reminding yourself that you want to remember your dreams may increase your chances, and so does keeping a dream journal, some studies have suggested. Upon waking up, hang on to that fragile (脆弱的) dream memory: keep your eyes closed, stay still and replay the dream memory, until your hippocampus catches up and properly stores the memory. 12. What does the underlined word “fleeting” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Inactive. B. Short-lived. C. Significant. D. Slight. 13. You can remember your dreams more easily when you wake up probably because ______. A. your dreams are vivid, emotional and coherent B. you are forgetful and poor in remembering things C. your hippocampus is active in receiving new information D your brain needs to start up to move dreams into long-term memory 14. Which of the following CANNOT help you to recall a dream? A. Keep reminding yourself of the need to remember your dreams. B. Record what you can remember in your dreams upon awakening. C. Improve the ability of your hippocampus to catch up information. D. Think back on the things in your dreams directly after you wake up. 15. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To tell the importance of dreams. B. To present some methods to recall dreams. C. To explain our forgetfulness in dreams. D. To analyze how our brain deal with information. 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。 Everyone knows that the media can be and is manipulated (操控).

At first, I thought someone had died, because I had never seen my parents look so sad. My brothers and I stood waiting for the awful news. Mom hugged me as she murmured, “Christmas is going to be different this year. We won't be having a tree or presents. We can barely afford food.”Dad, resting on the couch, beckoned (招手示意) the boys into his arms.“Things will change when I get back to work.” My family was poorer than dirt. Dad, the only bread-earner in our family, worked in a coal mine. However, soon after returning to work at the end of a long strike, Dad was hurt in a rock fall that broke bones in his foot. Lying on the couch with the swollen foot high on pillows, he didn't talk or smile much. There was little to smile about. No work, no income. At nine years old, I mothered my younger brothers: Rodney, aged six, and Stevie, three. We shared a small bedroom. That night, after our parents’ announcement, we talked. Rodney began. “Em, did you see how sad Mommy and Daddy looked? I thought Mommy was gonna cry. “Me, too. Daddy's foot’s … this big” whispered Stevie, holding out his arms. “Yeah..We're in hard times" I said.“It makes Mommy and Daddy sad." “But we don't have to be sad," I added, hoping to brighten the mood. “Since there are still several weeks to go, maybe we can do something to cheer them up," I said with overdone enthusiasm. The boys proposed, “We can take the money from our piggy bank...earn some more..and surprise them with gifts!" “I can run errands(跑腿) for Aunt Em and neighbors to earn money," I offered. “Yeah," Rodney added, “I and Stevie can return bottles and save the deposit money... instead of buying candy!" He pushed Stevie gently with his elbow. “Yeah!”Stevie clutched his hands together. We had a plan! Until they nodded off, I coached my little brothers (especially Stevie) in ways to guard our secret. “Don't talk about it during the day." 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。 We awoke in the morning, transforming from sad children to the secret agents on an important mission! ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On Christmas morning, we hurried into the living room and handed the gifts to Mommy and Daddy. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
