Academic competitions not only highlight your intellectual abilities but also help demonstrate teamwork and problem-solving skills. The Slingshot Challenge The Slingshot Challenge is an initiative by the National Geographic Society that encourages young people aged 13 to 18 to come up with innovative solutions to environmental issues. Participants can submit a one-minute video outlining their ideas for a chance to win up to $10,000 in funding to implement their projects. Chemical Educational Foundation’s The Challenge Although it’s only open to middle school students in grades 5-8, the Chemical Education Foundation’s The Challenge is an opportunity for budding scientists to explore their interests in STEM fields! Teams of 3-4participants compete in exciting, time-based rounds of questions and responses. Additionally, teams get to create original videos to “launch a start-up company” around community-based sustainability solutions. John Locke Institute Competition The John Locke Institute is a unique essay competition for high schoolers. The top prize is one of the most exciting writing awards for high schoolers in the country. Participants can select one of three topics to address in a 2,000-word essay. The topics change from year to year but always relate to philosophy, politics, history, law, theology, economics, or psychology. National Young Composers Challenge The National Young Composers Challenge is a wonderful competition for instrumental composers between 13 and 18 years old in the United States. Participants are asked to submit one original composition, either for orchestra or for a small (2-6 instruments) ensemble. The compositions. must be under five minutes.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。本文简单介绍了四个针对学生群体的课外竞赛活动。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段John Locke Institute Competition部分中“The John Locke Institute is a unique essay competition for high schoolers. The top prize is one of the most exciting writing awards for high schoolers in the country.(约翰·洛克研究所是一个面向高中生的独特作文比赛。最高奖是该国高中生最激动人心的写作奖之一)”可知，约翰·洛克研究所竞赛要求参与者提交文章。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段The Slingshot Challenge部分中“Participants can submit a one-minute video outlining their ideas for a chance to win up to $10,000 in funding to implement their projects.(参与者可以提交一段一分钟的视频，概述他们的想法，以获得高达10000美元的资金来实施他们的项目)”以及倒数第二段John Locke Institute Competition部分中“The top three composers in each category receive cash prizes, as well as professional performances and recordings of their works!(每个类别中排名前三位的作曲家将获得现金奖励，以及专业表演和他们的作品录音！)”可知，弹弓挑战和全国青年作曲家挑战赛的共同点是获胜者将获得经济奖励。故选D。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“In the highly competitive college admissions landscape, extracurriculars are often the key differentiators (区分因素). Academic competitions not only highlight your intellectual abilities but also help demonstrate teamwork and problem-solving skills.(在竞争激烈的大学录取环境中，课外活动往往是关键的区别因素。学术竞赛不仅凸显了你的智力，还有助于展示你的团队合作和解决问题的能力)”以及后文对四个竞赛的介绍可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是为了给学生推荐竞赛。故选B。 B Russell Cassevah has been obsessed with Legos since he was 4, when his mom let him pick out his first set after a trip to the doctor’s office. As an adult, he took his love of Legos to another level: he broke Guinness world records for walking barefoot more than half a mile up and down a path covered with sharp Lego bricks. After his first world record, Cassevah decided he could use Legos for good: he quit his day job and began traveling the country to deliver free Legos to children’s hospitals through the nonprofit he created, LittleBricks Charity. Each year, he uses donations to buy and give away more than $120,000 worth of Lego sets to 29 children’s hospitals nationwide. Cassevah recently completed a road trip to the Arkansas Children’s Northwest Hospital in Springdale, where he donated $9,000 worth of new Lego sets to young patients. One of them, Hewitt Kahana, was staying in the hospital for his third chemotherapy (化疗) treatment when he spotted Cassevah sitting at a table covered with new Lego sets. Hewitt has always been a Lego fan, and he had recently finished building a mini Egyptian pyramid at home in between treatments for a brain tumor. When Cassevah noticed Hewitt’s excitement, he handed him a Lego Galaxy Explorer set and asked if he could help him to build it. Hewitt enthusiastically said yes. “Cassevah was really cool, and building Legos with him made me feel happy,” Hewitt said. “You could tell that Cassevah really cared about the kids and was there to bring smiles and encouragement. It was wonderful to watch him and Hewitt building and laughing,” added Hewitt’s mom, Christen Sluyter. “When I build with kids, my goal is to create fun memories and give them a voice and let them talk. Hewitt knew so much about what he was going through. You could also tell that Legos were his escape and joy. More than anything, we laughed and had fun. Hewitt knew a lot about the bricks and even taught me a few things. My time with him reinforced my feeling that I’m on the right path,” Cassevah said. 4. What is the mission of Little Bricks Charity? A. To raise money for children with cancer. B. To gift legos to hospitalized children. C. To encourage kids to walk on legos barefoot. D. To create world records related to legos. 5. What kind of person is Cassevah according to Christen Sluyter? A. Persistent. B. Caring. C. Humorous. D. Courageous. 6. What does the underlined word “reinforced” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Hid. B. Hurt. C. Strengthened. D. Reduced. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. Legos: Young Patients’ Escape B. Sick Kids’ Joy in Children’ s Hospitals C. A Lego Fan’s Great World Records D. From Walking on Legos to Donating Them 【答案】4. B 5. B 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了罗素·卡塞瓦（Russell Cassevah）从小热爱乐高，成年后甚至创造了赤脚在乐高积木上行走的世界纪录。之后，他决定用乐高做更有意义的事情，创建了非营利组织“小砖块慈善机构”（LittleBricks Charity），致力于向全国的儿童医院捐赠乐高积木，给住院儿童带去快乐。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“he quit his day job and began traveling the country to deliver free Legos to children’s hospitals through the nonprofit he created, LittleBricks Charity(他辞去了日常工作，并开始通过他创立的非营利组织LittleBricks Charity，在全国各地向儿童医院免费赠送乐高积木)”可知，Cassevah辞去了日常工作，开始通过他创建的非营利组织LittleBricks Charity向儿童医院免费赠送乐高积木。因此，Little Bricks Charity的使命是给住院儿童赠送乐高积木。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段中Hewitt妈妈Christen Sluyter所说的话“You could tell that Cassevah really cared about the kids and was there to bring smiles and encouragement. It was wonderful to watch him and Hewitt building and laughing,” added Hewitt’s mom, Christen Sluyter.(“你可以看出，Cassevah非常关心这些孩子，他想给他们带来笑容和鼓励。看着他和Hewitt一起搭建乐高、开怀大笑，真是太好了，” Hewitt的妈妈Christen Sluyter补充道)”可知，Cassevah非常关心孩子们，并给他们带去微笑和鼓励。因此，可以推断出Cassevah是一个有爱心的人。故选B。 【6题详解】 词义猜测题。根据文章最后一段中划线词前面的内容“More than anything, we laughed and had fun. Hewitt knew a lot about the bricks and even taught me a few things. (最重要的是，我们笑了，玩得很开心。Hewitt知道很多关于乐高的知识，甚至还教了我一些东西)”以及划线词所在的句子“My time with him reinforced my feeling that I’m on the right path(和他在一起的时光让我更加reinforced自己走在了正确的道路上)”可知，Hewitt知道很多关于乐高的知识，甚至还教了Cassevah一些东西，因此与Hewitt在一起的时间加强了Cassevah觉得自己走在正确道路上的感觉。因此，可以推断出“reinforced”在此处的意思是“加强、巩固”，选项C“Strengthened.(增强，加强)”与其意思相近。故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文文章主要讲述了Cassevah从小热爱乐高，成年后创造了赤脚在乐高积木上行走的世界纪录，之后他决定用乐高做更有意义的事情，于是辞去了工作，开始通过他创建的非营利组织向儿童医院捐赠乐高积木。因此，D选项“From Walking on Legos to Donating Them(从在乐高上行走到捐赠它们)”符合文章标题。故选D。 C A region of the brain called the amygdala (杏仁核) is responsible for powerful emotions like fear. Now, researchers have found the region may also be to blame for overeating. Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) Professor Bo Li has discovered a group of neurons (神经元) in the region that drives mice to eat fatty or sugary foods — even when they’ re not hungry. Like most people, mice also tend to find foods high in fat and sugar the tastiest. They may enjoy these treats for pleasure, rather than for survival. The neurons Li and his colleagues studied cause this behavior, called hedonic (享乐的) eating. “Even if the animal is supposed to stop eating because they are already full, if those neurons are still active, they can still drive those animals to eat more,” Li notes. When the team switched off the specific neurons, mice weren’t drawn to the fatty and sugary foods that had attracted them before. “They just happily ate and stayed healthy,” Li says. “They not only stopped gaining weight, but also seemed to be much healthier overall.” Switching these neurons off reduced overeating and protected against obesity. It also boosted the animals’ physical activity, leading to weight loss and better health. Li and his team are exploring ways to control the neurons that cause hedonic eating. The next step, he says, is to map out how these neurons respond to different types of food and see what makes them so sensitive. He hopes this collaboration will lead to new strategies for effective anti-obesity therapeutics (疗法). Therapeutics targeting these neurons could lead to new treatments for obesity with minimal side effects. “The medications currently available to aid weight management can cause significant side effects. So, a more targeted approach is needed,” Li says. “Identifying the brain neurons that controls eating is important for developing better treatment options for people who struggle to control their weight.” 8. What does the study focus on? A. The causes of becoming overweight. B. The connection between brain and fear. C. The link between brain and appetite. D. The effects of fatty and sugary food. 9. What happen to mice when specific neurons in the amygdala are switched off? A. They are attracted by fatty and sugary products. B. They are more likely to be victims of obesity. C. They suffer a complete loss of appetite for food. D. They increase physical activity and get better health. 10. What does Professor Bo Li want to do next? A. Know more about specific neurons in the amygdala. B. Test new therapeutics on people with obesity. C. Identify side effects of treatments for obesity. D. Use current methods to treat eating disorders. 11. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. The significance of the study. B. The limitation of the study. C. The challenges of the study. D. The possible reason for the finding. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了中国科学家李波教授及其团队的研究发现：大脑中的杏仁核区域与食欲有关，特定神经元会促使小鼠过度进食高脂肪或高糖食物。李教授团队正探索控制这些神经元的方法，以期开发出副作用更小的肥胖治疗新策略。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“A region of the brain called the amygdala (杏仁核) is responsible for powerful emotions like fear. Now, researchers have found the region may also be to blame for overeating.( 大脑中一个被称为杏仁核的区域负责像恐惧这样强烈的情绪。现在，研究人员发现，该地区也可能是暴饮暴食的罪魁祸首)”可知，研究关注的是大脑杏仁核区域与过度进食之间的关系，即大脑与食欲之间的联系。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段中的“Switching these neurons off reduced overeating and protected against obesity. It also boosted the animals’ physical activity, leading to weight loss and better health.(关闭这些神经元可以减少暴饮暴食，防止肥胖。它还促进了动物的身体活动，导致体重减轻，更健康)”可知，当杏仁核中的特定神经元被关闭时，小鼠不再被高脂肪和高糖食物吸引，而且它们的身体活动增加，健康状况得到改善。因此，选项D“They increase physical activity and get better health.(它们增加身体活动并获得更好的健康)”符合题意。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段中的“Li and his team are exploring ways to control the neurons that cause hedonic eating. The next step, he says, is to map out how these neurons respond to different types of food and see what makes them so sensitive. (李和他的团队正在探索控制导致享乐性进食的神经元的方法。他说，下一步是绘制出这些神经元对不同类型食物的反应，看看是什么让它们如此敏感)”可知，李教授和他的团队正在探索控制导致享乐性进食的神经元的方法，下一步是绘制出这些神经元对不同类型食物的反应，并找出使它们如此敏感的原因。因此，选项A“Know more about specific neurons in the amygdala.(了解更多关于杏仁核中特定神经元的信息)”符合题意。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“Therapeutics targeting these neurons could lead to new treatments for obesity with minimal side effects. (针对这些神经元的治疗方法可能会带来副作用最小的肥胖新疗法)”以及““Identifying the brain neurons that controls eating is important for developing better treatment options for people who struggle to control their weight.”(“确定控制饮食的大脑神经元对于为控制体重而挣扎的人开发更好的治疗方案非常重要。”)”可知，文章最后一段主要讲述了研究的意义，即针对这些神经元的治疗可能为肥胖提供新的、副作用最小的治疗方法，确定控制进食的大脑神经元对于为那些难以控制体重的人开发更好的治疗方案很重要。因此，选项A“The significance of the study.(研究的意义)”概括本段主要内容。故选A。 D Based on the manuscripts (手稿) found in Dunhuang, China, Xin Wen’s The Kings Road: Diplomacy and the Remaking of the Silk Road is an account of the diplomatic missions that took place in eastern Eurasia between 800 CE and 1100 CE. Rather than focusing on the political aspect of diplomatic relations, Xin Wen concentrates on the practical aspects of relations in what he calls a “bottom-up view” of diplomacy. The book is an excellent balance of detailed analysis of primary sources while also showing the significance of those documents in a broad historical context. This book shows Dunhuang’s strategic importance since it lay at the heart of the conflicts and trade routes among various states in eastern Eurasia. This book is divided into three parts, and each part has its own guiding question. In Part One, the author asks: who became diplomatic travelers? The book then spends its first three chapters on this question. Chapter One introduces the Dunhuang manuscript collection. Chapter Two gives an account of the extremely diverse people who made up diplomatic missions. Chapter Three focuses on the commodities that the diplomats carried with them, such as food, clothes, texts, animals, and luxury items. Part Two poses the question: how did they travel? This question is answered in the next four chapters. Chapter Four looks at the physical conditions of the road, and Chapter Five deals with the social customs of travelers. Chapter Six explains the important role of gift-giving in diplomatic exchanges, and Chapter Seven studies the use of language. In Part Three, the author explores the inquiry regarding the types of international connections that the travelers created. The next three chapters of the book, which explore this question, respectively (分别地) look at the economic, political, and cultural consequences of the network of diplomatic travelers. The book’s overall argument is that, despite the decline of the Tang Dynasty, the Silk Road continued to function as a mechanism for the exchange of people, goods, and ideas in eastern Eurasia. This book is a remarkably in-depth analysis of an important topic that has previously received little attention. As one might expect from such an academic book, it is written in a very formal and scholarly tone with few maps and illustrations. It would probably be a difficult book for a reader without some degree of familiarity with the topic. To the field of Asian Studies, this book is a highly valuable and insightful new contribution. 12. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. An introduction to a book. B. A review of ancient manuscripts. C. A guidebook to diplomatic relations. D. An essay on the history of the Silk Road. 13. What does Xin Wen center on in The King’s Road: Diplomacy and the Remaking of the Silk Road? A. The discovery of manuscripts. B. The political aspect of diplomacy. C. The practical aspect of diplomatic relations. D. The conflicts of different states in Eurasia. 14. What is presented in Chapter Ten? A. Types of commodities that travelers carry. B. Economic consequences of the network of travelers. C. Political influences of the diplomatic travelers. D. Cultural connections that travelers created. 15. What is a feature of The King’s Road: Diplomacy and the Remaking of the Silk Road? A. It offers a great analysis of an ignored topic. B. It adopts a down-to-earth writing style. C. It includes sufficient maps and illustrations. D. It is intended for someone unfamiliar with the topic. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文简单介绍了中国学者辛文所著的《国王之路：外交与丝绸之路的重塑》一书。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章首段“Xin Wen’s The Kings Road: Diplomacy and the Remaking of the Silk Road is an account of the diplomatic missions that took place in eastern Eurasia between 800 CE and 1100 CE.(文欣的《国王之路：外交与丝绸之路的重塑》一书记述了公元800年至1100年间东欧亚地区的外交使节活动)”以及后文对书籍内容的详细描述，文章主要介绍了文欣所著的《国王之路：外交与丝绸之路的重塑》一书的内容、结构和主要论点，可以推断出这篇文章很可能是一篇书籍介绍。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Rather than focusing on the political aspect of diplomatic relations, Xin Wen concentrates on the practical aspects of relations in what he calls a ‘bottom-up view’ of diplomacy.(文欣没有专注于外交关系的政治方面，而是专注于他所称的“自下而上的外交观”中的关系的实用方面)”可知，文欣在该书中主要关注的是外交关系的实用方面。因此，选项C“The practical aspect of diplomatic relations.(外交关系的实用方面)”符合题意。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“In Part Three, the author explores the inquiry regarding the types of international connections that the travelers created. The next three chapters of the book, which explore this question, respectively (分别地) look at the economic, political, and cultural consequences of the network of diplomatic travelers. (在第三部分，作者探讨了旅行者所创造的国际联系类型的问题。书中接下来探讨这个问题的三个章节，分别审视了外交旅行者网络的经济、政治和文化影响)”以及后文提到的“Chapter Ten”属于第三部分的内容，可以推断出第十章介绍的是旅行者所创造的文化联系。故选D。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“This book is a remarkably in-depth analysis of an important topic that has previously received little attention.(这本书对一个以前很少受到关注的重要话题进行了非常深入的分析)”可知，《国王之路：外交与丝绸之路的重塑》一书的特点是对一个以前很少受到关注的重要话题进行了深入的分析。因此，选项A“It offers a great analysis of an ignored topic.(它对一个被忽视的话题进行了很好的分析)”符合题意。故选A。 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。 Cultivating good practices and integrating them into your daily routine can make you a far more dynamic, efficient, and productive writer. In fact, making a few small adjustments can make all the difference. Write Every Day Try to write every day without fail. ____16____ Depending on your schedule and other commitments, an hour a day five or six days a week would be a good starting point. If your time is especially limited, try to organize your thoughts and develop an idea of what you want to write beforehand so it saves “thinking” time when the opportunity comes to sit down at the computer. ____17____ This means filing away everything you write in a logical order so you can easily find it again later, and regularly backing up your files to avoid losing anything. Make to-do lists so you don’t forget anything important, prioritize time-sensitive projects, and keep detailed records of everything you submit. Create Clear Goals ____18____ Put forward a strategy that will give you the best chance of getting there. One inescapable commitment is word count. You should always aim to work smarter, not harder, but as a writer, you won’t get very far if you don’t write. Read Widely Try to set aside a reading period — half an hour immediately before you go to sleep, for example — and stick to it. Don’t just read your favorite types, but read everything you can get your hands on. Study the various techniques and styles you come across. ____19____ You can learn just as much from bad writing as you can from good writing. Keep Records Life is happening all around you, so document as much of it as you can. You never know when inspiration will strike. While a great many writers still prefer the old “pen and notepad” approach, you can just easily write notes using an app on your smartphone or even email them to yourself. When you have an idea for a story, write it down immediately. ____20____ A. Be Organized B. Submit Files on Time C. It doesn’t even have to be for long. D. Don’t trust yourself to remember it later. E. Make notes about what works and what doesn’t. F. Think seriously about what you want to accomplish. G. Good writing begins with a deep understanding of your subject. 【答案】16. C 17. A 18. F 19. E 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了提高写作效率和生产力的几个建议。 16题详解】 上文提到“Try to write every day without fail.(尽量每天都要写作)”，强调了每天写作的重要性；C选项“It doesn't even have to be for long.(甚至不需要很长时。)”进一步说明，即使每天写作的时间不长，也是有益的，与上文形成补充，鼓励人们即使时间有限也要坚持写作，符合语境。故选C。 【17题详解】 此空为段落标题。根据下文“This means filing away everything you write in a logical order so you can easily find it again later, and regularly backing up your files to avoid losing anything.(这意味着你要把你写的所有东西都按逻辑顺序归档，这样你以后就能很容易地再次找到它们，并定期备份你的文件以避免丢失任何东西)”可知，本段主要讲的是要保持写作内容的条理性，A选项“Be Organized(有条理)”能够准确概括本段大意，适合作为段落标题。故选A。 【18题详解】 下文“Put forward a strategy that will give you the best chance of getting there.(提出一个能给你最大成功机会的策略)”提到了要制定策略来实现目标，F选项“Think seriously about what you want to accomplish.(认真思考你想实现什么目标)”则强调了设定明确目标的重要性，是提出策略的前提，符合题意。故选F。 【19题详解】 上文“Study the various techniques and styles you come across.(研究你遇到的各种技巧和风格)”提到要学习不同的写作技巧和风格；E选项“Make notes about what works and what doesn't.(记录下哪些有效，哪些无效)”则进一步说明，在学习过程中要做笔记，总结经验和教训，符合语境。故选E。 【20题详解】 上文“When you have an idea for a story, write it down immediately.(当你有了一个故事的想法时，立即写下来)”强调了有灵感时要立即记录；D选项“Don't trust yourself to remember it later.(不要指望自己以后能记住)”则是对上文的补充，提醒人们不要依赖记忆力，要立即行动，符合题意。故选D。 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） 阅读短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可填入空白处的最佳选项。 A competitive cyclist and runner, Jill Wheatley worked as a Physics Ed teacher in Europe when she was accidentally hit in the ____21____ by a baseball during class.

The grass was green, and the flowers were in full bloom. Children were playing, and people were walking their dogs. Among them was a little girl named Emma. She was skipping along the path, enjoying the beautiful day. Suddenly, she heard a faint meowing sound. She stopped and listened carefully. The meowing seemed to be coming from a nearby bush. Emma walked over to the bush and had a quick glimpse of inside. There, she saw a tiny, frightened kitten. The kitten was all alone, and its fur was dirty and matted (乱蓬蓬的). Emma felt so sorry for the kitten. She slowly reached out her hand, trying to coax (哄劝) it to come to her. The kitten was hesitant at first but then sniffed her fingers and allowed her to pick it up. Emma cuddled the kitten in her arms, trying to warm it up. She looked around, hoping to find the kitten’s owner, but there was no one in sight. Emma decided to take the kitten home. She knew her parents might not be too happy about it, but she couldn’t just leave the poor thing. When she got home, her parents were surprised to see the kitten. Emma explained what had happened and begged them to let her keep it. Her parents looked at each other and finally agreed, but only if she took good care of it. Emma was overjoyed. She gave the kitten a bath, carefully washing away the dirt. The kitten meowed softly as she dried it with a towel. She then made a cozy bed for it in a box and gave it some food and water. The kitten ate hungrily, as if it hadn’t eaten in days. Over the next few days, Emma spent all her free time with the kitten. She named it Whiskers. She played with it, taught it to use the litter box, and took it to the vet to make sure it was healthy. Whiskers grew stronger and more playful. One day, Emma took Whiskers to the park where she had found it. She wanted to show it the place where their adventure began. While they were playing, a woman approached them. She looked at Whiskers and gasped (倒吸气). 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按照如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The woman screamed, “That’s my kitten! I’ve been looking everywhere for it!” _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Emma thought about the woman’s proposal for a moment and then nodded. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】(Possible version) The woman screamed, “That’s my kitten! I’ve been looking everywhere for it!” The woman exclaimed, “That’s my kitten! I’ve searched everywhere!” Emma, stunned, clung to Whiskers, explaining, “I found it alone in the bush, scared and hungry.” The woman clarified Whiskers had escaped days prior. Doubting her, Emma scrutinized the woman until she showed photos on her phone. Realizing Whiskers belonged to her; Emma was saddened but agreed to the woman’s proposal: Emma could visit and receive updates. Emma thought about the woman’s proposal for a moment and then nodded. She gently handed Whiskers to the woman. The woman thanked her again and again and gave Emma a big hug. As the woman walked away with Whiskers, Emma felt tears rolling down her cheek. But she also felt a sense of happiness because Whiskers was going back to its rightful owner. From that day on, Emma visited Whiskers regularly. The woman usually sent Emma pictures and videos of Whiskers. Emma also made a scrapbook filled with all the memories of her time with Whiskers. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，本文讲述了小女孩艾玛在公园发现了一只脏兮兮、乱蓬蓬、受惊的小猫，并将其带回家照顾。几天后，艾玛带着小猫回到公园，遇到了小猫的真正主人。虽然艾玛很不舍，但最终还是将小猫归还给了主人，并约定可以定期去看望小猫。小猫的主人信守承诺，给艾玛发送小猫的照片和视频，艾玛也制作了一本相册来纪念与小猫共度的时光。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“女人尖叫道：“那是我的小猫！我一直在到处找它！””可知，第一段可描写艾玛偶遇走失的小猫并与其建立情感联系，但小猫的真正主人出现，艾玛在确认身份后虽有不舍但仍同意归还。 ②由第二段首句内容“艾玛想了一会儿那个女人的提议，然后点了点头。”可知，第二段可描写艾玛将小猫归还给主人，虽然流泪但内心也感到高兴，之后她仍定期探访小猫，并制作了一本相册以纪念与小猫共度的时光。 2.续写线索： 偶遇小猫——建立情感——主人出现——确认身份——归还小猫——流泪不舍——定期探访——制作相册 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①大声说：exclaim/loudly say ②给予：give/offer ③探访：visit/pay a visit to ④制作相册：make a scrapbook/compile a photo album 情绪类 ①吃惊的：stunned/shocked ②流泪：tears rolling down/ the face was covered with tears 【点睛】[高分句型1].

B Russell Cassevah has been obsessed with Legos since he was 4, when his mom let him pick out his first set after a trip to the doctor’s office. As an adult, he took his love of Legos to another level: he broke Guinness world records for walking barefoot more than half a mile up and down a path covered with sharp Lego bricks. After his first world record, Cassevah decided he could use Legos for good: he quit his day job and began traveling the country to deliver free Legos to children’s hospitals through the nonprofit he created, LittleBricks Charity. Each year, he uses donations to buy and give away more than $120,000 worth of Lego sets to 29 children’s hospitals nationwide. Cassevah recently completed a road trip to the Arkansas Children’s Northwest Hospital in Springdale, where he donated $9,000 worth of new Lego sets to young patients. One of them, Hewitt Kahana, was staying in the hospital for his third chemotherapy (化疗) treatment when he spotted Cassevah sitting at a table covered with new Lego sets. Hewitt has always been a Lego fan, and he had recently finished building a mini Egyptian pyramid at home in between treatments for a brain tumor. When Cassevah noticed Hewitt’s excitement, he handed him a Lego Galaxy Explorer set and asked if he could help him to build it. Hewitt enthusiastically said yes. “Cassevah was really cool, and building Legos with him made me feel happy,” Hewitt said. “You could tell that Cassevah really cared about the kids and was there to bring smiles and encouragement. It was wonderful to watch him and Hewitt building and laughing,” added Hewitt’s mom, Christen Sluyter. “When I build with kids, my goal is to create fun memories and give them a voice and let them talk. Hewitt knew so much about what he was going through. You could also tell that Legos were his escape and joy. More than anything, we laughed and had fun. Hewitt knew a lot about the bricks and even taught me a few things. My time with him reinforced my feeling that I’m on the right path,” Cassevah said. 4. What is the mission of Little Bricks Charity? A. To raise money for children with cancer. B. To gift legos to hospitalized children. C. To encourage kids to walk on legos barefoot. D. To create world records related to legos. 5. What kind of person is Cassevah according to Christen Sluyter? A. Persistent. B. Caring. C. Humorous. D. Courageous. 6. What does the underlined word “reinforced” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Hid. B. Hurt. C. Strengthened. D. Reduced. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. Legos: Young Patients’ Escape B. Sick Kids’ Joy in Children’ s Hospitals C. A Lego Fan’s Great World Records D. From Walking on Legos to Donating Them C A region of the brain called the amygdala (杏仁核) is responsible for powerful emotions like fear. Now, researchers have found the region may also be to blame for overeating. Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) Professor Bo Li has discovered a group of neurons (神经元) in the region that drives mice to eat fatty or sugary foods — even when they’ re not hungry. Like most people, mice also tend to find foods high in fat and sugar the tastiest. They may enjoy these treats for pleasure, rather than for survival. The neurons Li and his colleagues studied cause this behavior, called hedonic (享乐的) eating. “Even if the animal is supposed to stop eating because they are already full, if those neurons are still active, they can still drive those animals to eat more,” Li notes. When the team switched off the specific neurons, mice weren’t drawn to the fatty and sugary foods that had attracted them before. “They just happily ate and stayed healthy,” Li says. “They not only stopped gaining weight, but also seemed to be much healthier overall.” Switching these neurons off reduced overeating and protected against obesity. It also boosted the animals’ physical activity, leading to weight loss and better health. Li and his team are exploring ways to control the neurons that cause hedonic eating. The next step, he says, is to map out how these neurons respond to different types of food and see what makes them so sensitive. He hopes this collaboration will lead to new strategies for effective anti-obesity therapeutics (疗法).

D Based on the manuscripts (手稿) found in Dunhuang, China, Xin Wen’s The Kings Road: Diplomacy and the Remaking of the Silk Road is an account of the diplomatic missions that took place in eastern Eurasia between 800 CE and 1100 CE. Rather than focusing on the political aspect of diplomatic relations, Xin Wen concentrates on the practical aspects of relations in what he calls a “bottom-up view” of diplomacy. The book is an excellent balance of detailed analysis of primary sources while also showing the significance of those documents in a broad historical context. This book shows Dunhuang’s strategic importance since it lay at the heart of the conflicts and trade routes among various states in eastern Eurasia. This book is divided into three parts, and each part has its own guiding question. In Part One, the author asks: who became diplomatic travelers? The book then spends its first three chapters on this question. Chapter One introduces the Dunhuang manuscript collection. Chapter Two gives an account of the extremely diverse people who made up diplomatic missions. Chapter Three focuses on the commodities that the diplomats carried with them, such as food, clothes, texts, animals, and luxury items. Part Two poses the question: how did they travel? This question is answered in the next four chapters. Chapter Four looks at the physical conditions of the road, and Chapter Five deals with the social customs of travelers. Chapter Six explains the important role of gift-giving in diplomatic exchanges, and Chapter Seven studies the use of language. In Part Three, the author explores the inquiry regarding the types of international connections that the travelers created. The next three chapters of the book, which explore this question, respectively (分别地) look at the economic, political, and cultural consequences of the network of diplomatic travelers. The book’s overall argument is that, despite the decline of the Tang Dynasty, the Silk Road continued to function as a mechanism for the exchange of people, goods, and ideas in eastern Eurasia. This book is a remarkably in-depth analysis of an important topic that has previously received little attention. As one might expect from such an academic book, it is written in a very formal and scholarly tone with few maps and illustrations. It would probably be a difficult book for a reader without some degree of familiarity with the topic. To the field of Asian Studies, this book is a highly valuable and insightful new contribution. 12. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. An introduction to a book. B. A review of ancient manuscripts. C. A guidebook to diplomatic relations. D. An essay on the history of the Silk Road. 13. What does Xin Wen center on in The King’s Road: Diplomacy and the Remaking of the Silk Road? A. The discovery of manuscripts. B. The political aspect of diplomacy. C. The practical aspect of diplomatic relations. D. The conflicts of different states in Eurasia. 14. What is presented in Chapter Ten? A. Types of commodities that travelers carry. B. Economic consequences of the network of travelers. C. Political influences of the diplomatic travelers. D. Cultural connections that travelers created. 15. What is a feature of The King’s Road: Diplomacy and the Remaking of the Silk Road? A. It offers a great analysis of an ignored topic. B. It adopts a down-to-earth writing style. C. It includes sufficient maps and illustrations. D. It is intended for someone unfamiliar with the topic. 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。 Cultivating good practices and integrating them into your daily routine can make you a far more dynamic, efficient, and productive writer. In fact, making a few small adjustments can make all the difference. Write Every Day Try to write every day without fail. ____16____ Depending on your schedule and other commitments, an hour a day five or six days a week would be a good starting point. If your time is especially limited, try to organize your thoughts and develop an idea of what you want to write beforehand so it saves “thinking” time when the opportunity comes to sit down at the computer. ____17____ This means filing away everything you write in a logical order so you can easily find it again later, and regularly backing up your files to avoid losing anything.

Create Clear Goals ____18____ Put forward a strategy that will give you the best chance of getting there. One inescapable commitment is word count.

Study the various techniques and styles you come across. ____19____ You can learn just as much from bad writing as you can from good writing.

The grass was green, and the flowers were in full bloom. Children were playing, and people were walking their dogs. Among them was a little girl named Emma. She was skipping along the path, enjoying the beautiful day. Suddenly, she heard a faint meowing sound. She stopped and listened carefully. The meowing seemed to be coming from a nearby bush. Emma walked over to the bush and had a quick glimpse of inside. There, she saw a tiny, frightened kitten. The kitten was all alone, and its fur was dirty and matted (乱蓬蓬的). Emma felt so sorry for the kitten. She slowly reached out her hand, trying to coax (哄劝) it to come to her. The kitten was hesitant at first but then sniffed her fingers and allowed her to pick it up. Emma cuddled the kitten in her arms, trying to warm it up. She looked around, hoping to find the kitten’s owner, but there was no one in sight. Emma decided to take the kitten home. She knew her parents might not be too happy about it, but she couldn’t just leave the poor thing. When she got home, her parents were surprised to see the kitten. Emma explained what had happened and begged them to let her keep it. Her parents looked at each other and finally agreed, but only if she took good care of it. Emma was overjoyed. She gave the kitten a bath, carefully washing away the dirt. The kitten meowed softly as she dried it with a towel. She then made a cozy bed for it in a box and gave it some food and water. The kitten ate hungrily, as if it hadn’t eaten in days. Over the next few days, Emma spent all her free time with the kitten. She named it Whiskers. She played with it, taught it to use the litter box, and took it to the vet to make sure it was healthy. Whiskers grew stronger and more playful. One day Emma took Whiskers to the park where she had found it. She wanted to show it the place where their adventure began. While they were playing, a woman approached them. She looked at Whiskers and gasped (倒吸气). 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按照如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The woman screamed, “That’s my kitten!
