One day when I was 12, my mother gave me an order: I was to walk to the public library, and borrow at least one book for the summer. This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem—inability to read.
In the library, I found my way into the “Children's Room”. I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle. I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle. There on the book's cover was a beagle which looked identical to my dog. I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover. My eyes ran across the title, Amos, the Beagle with a Plan. Unknowingly, I had read the title. Without opening the book, I borrowed it from the library for the summer.
Under the shade of a bush, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly, I got the main idea of the story about a dog who, like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home. The dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book.
At the end of the story, my mind continued the final scene of reunion, on and on, until my own lost dog and I were, in my mind, running together.
My mother's call returned me to the real world. I suddenly realized something: I had read a book. and I had loved reading that book. Everyone knew I could not read. But I had read it. Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them.
I never told my mother about my “miraculous(奇迹般的)” experience that summer, but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year. And years later, she was proud that her son had read thousands of books, was awarded a PhD in literature, and authored his own books, articles, poetry and fiction. The power of the words has held.
4. The author's mother told him to borrow a book in order to ________.
A. encourage him to do more walking B. help cure him of his reading problem
C. let him spend a meaningful summer D. make him learn more about weapons
5. The book caught the author's eye because ________.
A. it contained pretty pictures of animals B. he found its title easy to understand
C. he was reminded of his own dog D. he liked children's stories very much
6. What can be concluded from the last paragraph?
A. The author's mother rewarded him with books. B. The author's mother read the same book.
C. The author has become a successful writer. D. The author has had happy summers ever since.
7. Which one could be the best title of the passage?
A. My Passion for Reading B. Mum's Strict Order
C. Reunion with My Beagle D. The Charm of a Book
C
Have you ever heard someone say, “you totally look like you’re a Jessica” or something similar? People seem to think that they know what kind of person a “Jessica” or a “Michael” looks like. Why is this?
According to a study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, humans tend to associate people’s names with their appearance(外表), and can even’ guess someone’s name based on how they look.
Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem Israel, collected thousands of photos of people’s faces. They labeled each photo with four names. Then, they asked volunteers to guess which of the four names was correct.
The volunteers were able to guess the right name 38 percent of the time. It seems that certain characteristics of faces give them clues about someone’s name, Reader’s Digest reported.
However, this only worked when the volunteers looked at names from their own culture. In addition, the volunteers were not as good at guessing the real names of people who used nicknames more often than their real names. This may show that a person’s appearance is affected by their name only if they use it often.
This kind of face-name matching happens “because of a process of self-fulfilling prophecy(自我实现预言), as we become what other people expect us to become.” Ruth Mayo from the university told science news website EurekAlert.
Earlier studies have shown that gender and race stereotypes(刻板印象) can affect a person’s appearance. The researchers believe there are also similar stereotypes about names. For example, people tend to think that men named Bob should have rounder faces because the word itself looks round. People may think that women named Rose are beautiful. They expect them to be “delicate” and “feminine(女性的)”, just like the flower they are named for.
8. What was the purpose of the study?
A. To find out today’s most popular English names.
B. To learn how names influence personality.
C. To find out whether names relate to their looks.
D. To show how men’s names are different from women’s.
9. What does the underlined word “clues” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. lights. B. attentions. C. methods. D. hints.
10. According to Ruth Mayo, why do some people look like their names?
A. They tend to become what others expect them to become.
B. They want to please everyone around them.
C. They don’t want to be different from others.
D. They like to copy famous people who share the same name.
11. What point does the last paragraph want to explain?
A. Earlier studies about stereotypes are limited.
B. Stereotypes about names can bring good results.
C. Stereotypes about names can affect people’s looks.
D. It’s not always bad to be influenced by the expectations of others.
D
In the near future, IoT (Internet of Things) will drive huge innovation in the way our food is grown. Plants will have a “voice”; it’s not a human voice, but a voice based on data that can tell people, computers, and machines when, for example, they are thirsty, or need more sun, medicine, etc.
Take vertical (垂直的) farms for example. Farming is moving indoors where the growth of plants can be monitored and controlled. The facilities are built vertically, so growing areas can be put in piles. This greatly reduces the amount of land needed for farming.
From an IoT point of view, vertical farms are connected in two ways. First, small sensors (传感器) in the soil or connected to plants tell a control system exactly how much light, water, and nutrition are needed to grow the healthiest crops. Sensors will also tell vertical farmers when crops are nearing their peak for harvesting at just the right time to make sure they’re still fresh when they reach their final destination.
Second, vertical farms will be connected to other networks and information systems, including databases that track local demand. For example, local restaurants may input when they need fresh food supplies. And vertical farmers could get that information so they know which crops to grow in what quantities. This type of IoT system would have been unimaginable a generation ago.
Today, vertical farms are being experimented. Yet, the numbers point to a bright future for the industry, especially as the world’s population continues to grow. For example, Green Sense Farms in Chicago is able to harvest crops 26 times a year using 85 percent less energy, one-tenth of the water, and no pesticides. A side benefit of lower energy use is lower CO₂ output of two tons per month, with the added benefit of creating 46 pounds of oxygen every day.
12. What is the main idea of the text?
A Voice machines help plants speak up.
B. Farmers are all turning to vertical farming.
C. IoT has brought great innovation to our school life.
D. Vertical farms driven by IoT are a future for agriculture.
13. How do sensors attached to plants work?
A. By passing information to a control system. B. By monitoring farmers working their fields.
C. By analyzing information to preserve crops. D. By recording farmers harvesting crops.
14. What can the IoT system help according to Paragraph 4?
A. Expand the output of crops. B. Match supply with demand.
C. Determine the needs of farmers. D. Move restaurants onto farms.
15. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of vertical farming?
A. Negative. B. Positive. C. Indifferent. D. Doubtful.

Last Saturday, David was taking a walk in the park near his home when he noticed a woman with a boy of about eight years old. When David passed them, he heard the woman yell. “How stupid you are! You’re good at nothing.” David stopped and looked at the little boy. The boy said nothing. He just stood there, looking upset.
David was reminded of his English teacher Mrs Brown in middle school. After he entered a middle school, David lacked self-confidence because he was often made fun of by others. He was often told that he was good at nothing, which David behaved. But one day it all changed.
One day, in an English writing class, Mrs Brown asked them to read a novel. They were asked to write a new chapter of the novel after they finished reading it. A few days later, David handed in his story. He didn’t give it much thought. But the next day, to his surprise, the comment “well done” from Mrs Brown came into view the moment he turned to the page where the story was written. When David read that, he almost burst into tears. He never expected to be praised one day. He suddenly gained some self-confidence.
That day after he returned home, he wrote a short story and gave it to Mrs Brown the next morning. And again he was praised. David became very interested in writing. He often wrote short stories and asked Mrs Brown to read them improve writing skills. One year later, David joined the school newspaper and became an editor of it. He was no longer that boy who lacked self-confidence. He gained his confidence, and was hopeful about his future.
He succeeded in entering a college and kept writing. Several years after graduating from college, he had his first book published. With some more books coming out, he became famous as a writer in his country. And he owed his success to Mrs Brown’s encouragement. Without her encouragement, his life might be very different now.
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。
Inspired by his own life story, David decided to do something for that boy.

One day when I was 12, my mother gave me an order: I was to walk to the public library, and borrow at least one book for the summer. This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem—inability to read.
In the library, I found my way into the “Children's Room”. I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle. I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle. There on the book's cover was a beagle which looked identical to my dog. I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover. My eyes ran across the title, Amos, the Beagle with a Plan. Unknowingly, I had read the title. Without opening the book, I borrowed it from the library for the summer.
Under the shade of a bush, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly, I got the main idea of the story about a dog who, like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home. The dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book.
At the end of the story, my mind continued the final scene of reunion, on and on, until my own lost dog and I were, in my mind, running together.
My mother's call returned me to the real world. I suddenly realized something: I had read a book. and I had loved reading that book. Everyone knew I could not read. But I had read it. Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them.
I never told my mother about my “miraculous(奇迹般的)” experience that summer, but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year. And years later, she was proud that her son had read thousands of books, was awarded a PhD in literature, and authored his own books, articles, poetry and fiction. The power of the words has held.
4. The author's mother told him to borrow a book in order to ________.
A. encourage him to do more walking B. help cure him of his reading problem
C. let him spend a meaningful summer D. make him learn more about weapons
5. The book caught the author's eye because ________.
A. it contained pretty pictures of animals B. he found its title easy to understand
C. he was reminded of his own dog D. he liked children's stories very much
6. What can be concluded from the last paragraph?
A. The author's mother rewarded him with books. B. The author's mother read the same book.
C. The author has become a successful writer. D. The author has had happy summers ever since.
7. Which one could be the best title of the passage?
A. My Passion for Reading B. Mum's Strict Order
C. Reunion with My Beagle D. The Charm of a Book
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. C 7. D

Have you ever heard someone say, “you totally look like you’re a Jessica” or something similar? People seem to think that they know what kind of person a “Jessica” or a “Michael” looks like. Why is this?
According to a study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, humans tend to associate people’s names with their appearance(外表), and can even’ guess someone’s name based on how they look.
Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel, collected thousands of photos of people’s faces. They labeled each photo with four names. Then, they asked volunteers to guess which of the four names was correct.
The volunteers were able to guess the right name 38 percent of the time. It seems that certain characteristics of faces give them clues about someone’s name, Reader’s Digest reported.
However, this only worked when the volunteers looked at names from their own culture. In addition, the volunteers were not as good at guessing the real names of people who used nicknames more often than their real names. This may show that a person’s appearance is affected by their name only if they use it often.
This kind of face-name matching happens “because of a process of self-fulfilling prophecy(自我实现预言), as we become what other people expect us to become.” Ruth Mayo from the university told science news website EurekAlert.
Earlier studies have shown that gender and race stereotypes(刻板印象) can affect a person’s appearance. The researchers believe there are also similar stereotypes about names. For example, people tend to think that men named Bob should have rounder faces because the word itself looks round. People may think that women named Rose are beautiful. They expect them to be “delicate” and “feminine(女性的)”, just like the flower they are named for.
8. What was the purpose of the study?
A. To find out today’s most popular English names.
B. To learn how names influence personality.
C. To find out whether names relate to their looks.
D. To show how men’s names are different from women’s.
9. What does the underlined word “clues” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. lights. B. attentions. C. methods. D. hints.
10. According to Ruth Mayo, why do some people look like their names?
A. They tend to become what others expect them to become.
B. They want to please everyone around them.
C. They don’t want to be different from others.
D. They like to copy famous people who share the same name.
11. What point does the last paragraph want to explain?
A. Earlier studies about stereotypes are limited.
B. Stereotypes about names can bring good results.
C Stereotypes about names can affect people’s looks.
D. It’s not always bad to be influenced by the expectations of others.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一项发表在《个性与社会心理学杂志》上的研究,人类倾向于将人的名字与外表联系起来,甚至可以根据外表“猜出某人的名字”。研究人员认为,人们对名字也有类似的刻板印象。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二自然段“According to a study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, humans tend to associate people’s names with their appearance(外表), and can even’ guess someone’s name based on how they look. (根据发表在《个性与社会心理学杂志》上的一项研究,人类倾向于将人的名字与长相联系起来,甚至可以根据长相“猜出某人的名字”。)”可知,研究调查表明,人们趋向于将人的名字与长相联系起来,并且还根据名字去猜长相。因此做实验研究是为了确定名字是否与长相有关。故选C项。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四自然段“The volunteers were able to guess the right name 38 percent of the time. (志愿者有38%的时间能够猜出正确的名字。)”可知,志愿者有38%的时间能够猜出正确的名字。结合划线部分所在句子“It seems that certain characteristics of faces give them clues about someone’s name, Reader’s Digest reported.(据《读者文摘》报道,人脸的某些特征似乎为他们提供了关于某人名字的clues。)”可知,志愿者有38%的时间能够猜出正确的名字是因为面部的某些特征似乎为他们提供了关于名字的线索,所以clues意为“线索”。A. lights.光线;光亮;B. attentions. 注意;C. methods.方法;D. hints.暗示;线索。故选D项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“This kind of face-name matching happens “because of a process of self-fulfilling prophecy(自我实现预言), as we become what other people expect us to become.” Ruth Mayo from the university told science news website EurekAlert. (这所大学的Ruth Mayo告诉科学新闻网站EurekAlert,“因为我们成为了别人期望我们成为的人,所以会有一个自我实现的预言过程。”)”可知,根据Ruth Mayo的说法,有些人看起来像他们的名字是因为他们往往会成为别人期望他们成为的样子。故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Earlier studies have shown that gender and race stereotypes(刻板印象) can affect a person’s appearance. The researchers believe there are also similar stereotypes about names. (早期的研究表明,性别和种族的刻板印象会影响一个人的长相。研究人员认为,人们对名字也有类似的刻板印象。)”可知,研究者也发现在姓名中也会有刻板印象的现象,所以最后一段想解释关于名字的刻板印象会影响人们的长相。故选C项。

In the near future, IoT (Internet of Things) will drive huge innovation in the way our food is grown. Plants will have a “voice”; it’s not a human voice, but a voice based on data that can tell people, computers, and machines when, for example, they are thirsty, or need more sun, medicine, etc.
Take vertical (垂直的) farms for example. Farming is moving indoors where the growth of plants can be monitored and controlled. The facilities are built vertically, so growing areas can be put in piles. This greatly reduces the amount of land needed for farming.
From an IoT point of view, vertical farms are connected in two ways. First, small sensors (传感器) in the soil or connected to plants tell a control system exactly how much light, water, and nutrition are needed to grow the healthiest crops. Sensors will also tell vertical farmers when crops are nearing their peak for harvesting at just the right time to make sure they’re still fresh when they reach their final destination.
Second, vertical farms will be connected to other networks and information systems, including databases that track local demand. For example, local restaurants may input when they need fresh food supplies. And vertical farmers could get that information so they know which crops to grow in what quantities. This type of IoT system would have been unimaginable a generation ago.
Today, vertical farms are being experimented. Yet, the numbers point to a bright future for the industry, especially as the world’s population continues to grow. For example, Green Sense Farms in Chicago is able to harvest crops 26 times a year using 85 percent less energy, one-tenth of the water, and no pesticides. A side benefit of lower energy use is lower CO₂ output of two tons per month, with the added benefit of creating 46 pounds of oxygen every day.
12. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Voice machines help plants speak up.
B. Farmers are all turning to vertical farming.
C. IoT has brought great innovation to our school life.
D. Vertical farms driven by IoT are a future for agriculture.
13. How do sensors attached to plants work?
A. By passing information to a control system. B. By monitoring farmers working their fields.
C. By analyzing information to preserve crops. D. By recording farmers harvesting crops.
14. What can the IoT system help according to Paragraph 4?
A. Expand the output of crops. B. Match supply with demand.
C. Determine the needs of farmers. D. Move restaurants onto farms.
15. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of vertical farming?
A. Negative. B. Positive. C. Indifferent. D. Doubtful.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要以垂直农场为例介绍了在不久的将来,物联网将推动粮食种植方式的巨大创新。
【12题详解】

【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“First, small sensors (传感器) in the soil or connected to plants tell a control system exactly how much light, water, and nutrition are needed to grow the healthiest crops.(首先,土壤中或与植物相连的小传感器告诉控制系统,要种植出最健康的作物,需要多少光、水和营养)”可知,传感器将培育出最健康的农作物所需要的水、光和营养的量等信息传递给控制系统。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Second, vertical farms will be connected to other network s and information systems, including databases that track local demand.(其次,垂直农场将连接到其他网络和信息系统,包括跟踪当地需求的数据库)”可知,垂直农场将与其他网络和信息系统相连,包括追踪当地需求的数据库,再结合后面的例子可知,物联网系统有助于使供应与需求相匹配。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Today, vertical farms are being experimented. Yet, the numbers point to a bright future for the industry, especially as the world’s population continues to grow.(如今,人们正在试验垂直农场。然而,这些数字预示着该行业的光明前景,尤其是在世界人口持续增长的情况下)”可知,作者对垂直农场的未来持乐观肯定的态度。故选B。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述中国著名翻译家许渊冲的成就。
【36题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:他将120多部中国诗歌翻译成英法两种语言,赢得了世界的认可。work意为“作品”时是可数名词,由“120”可知此处应用名词复数形式,故填works。
【37题详解】
考查连词。句意:许曾在西南联合大学和钱钟书、吴宓等中国大师一起学习。“Qian Zhongshu, Wu Mi”和“other Chinese masters”之间是并列关系,应用连词and连接,故填and。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意:1944年他被清华大学录取。be admitted into…“被……录取”,固定搭配,故填into。
【39题详解】
考查代词。句意:他从事翻译工作60余年。devote oneself to“致力于”,此处应用反身代词,故填himself。
【40题详解】
考查状语从句的省略。句意:在翻译的过程中,他非常注重形象美、声音美、形式美,删减一些,增加一些,使翻译的作品比原作品更美。此处是while引导的时间状语从句的省略,表示“当他在翻译时”,完整形式是While he was doing translation,当状语从句主语和主句主语一致,且从句含有be动词时,可将从句主语和be动词省略,故填doing。
【41题详解】
考查冠词。句意:同上。根据“of image”可知,beauty表示特指,使用定冠词修饰,故填the。
【42题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:同上。根据“than the original works”可知,此处使用形容词比较级,故填more beautiful。
【43题详解】
考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:2010年,他被中国翻译协会授予翻译终身成就奖。主语Xu和动词award之间是被动关系,结合时间状语“In 2010”可知,此处应用一般过去时的被动语态,主语表示单数意义,故填was awarded。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:此外,他还是第一位获得国际翻译家最高荣誉之一的北极光小说文学杰出翻译奖的亚洲翻译家。Asian translator前有序数词修饰,此处应用动词不定式作后置定语,故填to win。
【45题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:同上。空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是the Aurora Borealis Prize for Outstanding Translation of Fiction Literature,关系词在从句中作主语,应用关系代词which引导,故填which。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Last Saturday, David was taking a walk in the park near his home when he noticed a woman with a boy of about eight years old. When David passed them, he heard the woman yell. “How stupid you are! You’re good at nothing.” David stopped and looked at the little boy. The boy said nothing. He just stood there, looking upset.
David was reminded of his English teacher Mrs Brown in middle school. After he entered a middle school, David lacked self-confidence because he was often made fun of by others. He was often told that he was good at nothing, which David behaved. But one day it all changed.
One day, in an English writing class, Mrs Brown asked them to read a novel. They were asked to write a new chapter of the novel after they finished reading it. A few days later, David handed in his story. He didn’t give it much thought. But the next day, to his surprise, the comment “well done” from Mrs Brown came into view the moment he turned to the page where the story was written. When David read that, he almost burst into tears. He never expected to be praised one day. He suddenly gained some self-confidence.
That day after he returned home, he wrote a short story and gave it to Mrs Brown the next morning. And again he was praised. David became very interested in writing. He often wrote short stories and asked Mrs Brown to read them improve writing skills. One year later, David joined the school newspaper and became an editor of it. He was no longer that boy who lacked self-confidence. He gained his confidence, and was hopeful about his future.
He succeeded in entering a college and kept writing. Several years after graduating from college, he had his first book published. With some more books coming out, he became famous as a writer in his country. And he owed his success to Mrs Brown’s encouragement. Without her encouragement, his life might be very different now.
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。
Inspired by his own life story, David decided to do something for that boy.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The mother was ashamed when she heard that.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文:
Inspired by his own life story, David decided to do something for that boy. He went to the woman, who immediately recognized him because she had read his books and seen his pictures. David started to chat with her. He told her that what she said to her boy was not appropriate. Then he told her about the encouragement he once got from Mrs. Brown. In the end, he said, “I couldn’t have become a writer if I had believed I was good at nothing.”
The mother was ashamed when she heard that. She realized that she shouldn’t have called her son stupid, which would make him lose confidence in himself. So she said, “Thank you for your advice. I’ll never say such things to him again. Instead, I’ll find out what he’s good at and encourage him.” The woman then left with the boy. Looking at the back of the boy, David felt relieved, hoping his action could make a difference to the boy.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索,讲述了作家大卫偶遇一位正在大声责骂自己八岁的儿子愚蠢无用的母亲,想到自己过去的经历,如果不是因为中学的英语老师Mrs. Brown的鼓励和认可,他不会有现在的成就。于是大卫主动以自身经历劝说这位母亲不要否定自己的儿子,要多鼓励他,给他信心,这位母亲也意识到了自己的问题,希望这段小小的经历能给这个男孩带来改变。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“受到自己故事的启发,大卫决定为那个男孩做点什么。”可知,第一段可描写大卫主动以自身经历劝说这位母亲不要否定自己的儿子,要多鼓励他,给他信心。
②由第二段首句“母亲听到这话感到很惭愧”可知,第二段可描写这位母亲思想和态度的转变,从而希望能给男孩带来改变。
2. 续写线索:决定做点什么——与母亲交流,讲述自己的经历——母亲感到惭愧——意识到自己的问题——决定改变——离开——希望
3. 词汇激活:

①决定做某事:decide to do/determine to do

③擅长做某事:be good at doing/do well in doing
④鼓励:encourage/inspire
