But with a passion for business, he dreamed of attending a college in the Northeast so he could be close to New York City and other major business centers. In the process of his application, Gray was determined to deal with it by himself. He looked at hundreds of websites, checking scholarship requirements. Many scholarships had very specific qualifications that he didn’t meet. But Gray had 600 volunteer hours and started a nonprofit organization which organized volunteer opportunities for students when he was in high school. So he searched for scholarships that looked for excellent grades combined with leadership and community service. Soon, he got the Gates Millennium Scholarship, which covers school fees from a bachelor’s to a doctor’s degree. A $20,000 scholarship from Coca-Cola followed. He also received a 820,000 Horatio Alger Scholarship and the $ 10,000 Axa Achievement Scholarship. And smaller awards just kept coming. In the end, he had amazing success, receiving 34 scholarships worth $1.3 million — enough to pay for years of school, plus cover his living expenses with some leftover to invest. Gray has used the money for schooling, room and board, daily supplies, travel for interviews, and other needs. After appearing at national conferences and in the media, hundreds of students and parents have emailed and called for advice, which inspired Gray, now a business major at Drexel, to make a mobile-phone app called Scholly—short for “scholarships”— to help other teens get scholarship money. Though the app had thousands of downloads, Gray and his colleagues decided to keep the price only at 99 cents because their purpose was more public service than profit. As for his career plans, he has the goal of a true enterpriser: “Ideally not to have to get a job when I graduate.” 4. What did Gray do when he applied for scholarships? A. He started a nonprofit organization. B. He took part in community service. C. He checked requirements with teammates. D. He matched his strengths with the criteria. 5. Why does Gray develop Scholly? A. To appeal for more downloads. B. To help other teens make apps. C. To facilitate scholarship application. D. To raise funds for his own schooling. 6. Which of the following best describe Christopher Gray? A. Tolerant and diligent. B Ambitious and generous. C. Creative and humble. D. Stubborn and adventurous. 7. What does Gray intend to do for his future career? A. Starting his own business. B. Working for a charity. C. Maintaining his current job. D. Getting a high paid job. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍了格雷梦想申请哈佛和其他顶尖学校，但付不起申请费和学费。为此他将自己的优势与奖学金申请标准相匹配，最终获得很多奖学金。而且他还制作了一款名为Scholly的手机应用程序帮助其他青少年获得奖学金。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二自然段“But Gray had 600 volunteer hours and started a nonprofit organization which organized volunteer opportunities for students when he was in high school. So he searched for scholarships that looked for excellent grades combined with leadership and community service. (但格雷在高中时有600个小时志愿者经历，并创办了一个非营利组织，为学生组织志愿者机会。因此，他寻找奖学金，寻找优秀的成绩与领导力和社区服务相结合的奖学金。)”可知，在申请奖学金时，格雷将自己的优势与标准相匹配。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四自然段“…which inspired Gray, now a business major at Drexel, to make a mobile-phone app called Scholly—short for “scholarships”— to help other teens get scholarship money. (……这激发了格雷的灵感，他现在是德雷塞尔大学的商科专业学生，他制作了一款名为Scholly的手机应用程序，简称“奖学金”，帮助其他青少年获得奖学金。)”可知，格雷制作Scholly是为奖学金申请提供便利。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三自然段“In the end, he had amazing success, receiving 34 scholarships worth $1.3 million (最终，他取得了惊人的成功，获得了34个奖学金，价值130万美元)”格雷获得巨额奖学金的经历以及最后一段“Though the app had thousands of downloads, Gray and his colleagues decided to keep the price only at 99 cents because their purpose was more public service than profit. As for his career plans, he has the goal of a true enterpriser: “Ideally not to have to get a job when I graduate.”(管该应用程序有数千次下载，但格雷和他的同事决定将价格保持在99美分，因为他们的目的更多的是公共服务，而不是利润。至于他的职业计划，他有一个真正的企业家的目标：“理想情况下，我毕业时不必找工作。”可知，格雷毕业后想自己创业当企业家。由此可以看出格雷既有野心又慷慨大方。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“As for his career plans, he has the goal of a true enterpriser: “Ideally not to have to get a job when I graduate.”(至于他的职业计划，他有一个真正的企业家的目标：“理想情况下，我毕业时不必找工作。”)”可知，格雷未来打算自己创业。故选A。 C Climate change, pollution and fast-paced life got you down? Wish you could buy a ticket on the Europa Clipper spacecraft? Before you decide to leave Earth behind, consider the life of an astronaut on the International Space Station (ISS). Two NASA astronauts have been living aboard the ISS since their departure from Earth on June 5. Their mission, originally meant to last around a week, will have gone on for over eight months. NASA’s accepted odds for loss of crew during the extended stay, or chances they two won’t make it back to Earth alive, are 1 in 270. Although chances of death on their mission are relatively low, the effects of their long term stay in space will likely have an impact on their bodies. Living in microgravity causes bodily fluids to become more evenly distributed, with up to two extra liters of blood in the upper body, triggering constant feelings of puffiness (浮肿), especially in the head and face. Captain Kelly, a former NASA astronaut, describes the feeling, “It feels a little like standing on your head 24 hours a day.” The way fluids redistribute themselves in space also causes urine (尿液) to float along the sides of the bladder (膀胱), which can prevent astronauts from feeling a need to urinate until their bladders become completely full, leading to an unexpected, spontaneous need to urinate. Discoveries made during NASA’s study found extended time in space also impacts telomeres (端粒). During almost a year in space, Captain Kelly’s telomeres had actually lengthened, which is usually an indicator of lower odds of age-related diseases. However, during the months after returning to Earth, the length of his telomeres was discovered to be critically shorter than his preflight levels. If you are planning a trip to space as your next luxury vacation, prepare to encounter many more serious health consequences in a completely new environment. For astronauts like Captain Kelly, the impact space has on the body is a small price to pay to explore the solar system. For those of us who haven’t been to space yet, health conditions caused by living in microgravity can be a reminder of how comfortable life is here on Earth. 8. What can we know about the two astronauts from Paragraph 2? A. NASA has accepted the fact of losing them. B. They postpone their missions to eight months later. C. Staying in space has potential damage to their physical conditions. D. The longer they stay in space, the lower chances they have of returning alive. 9. How do the bodily fluids affect astronauts living in microgravity? A. They make astronauts’ whole bodies puffy. B. They greatly weaken astronauts’ urges to urinate. C. They accumulate more in the upper body than the lower. D. They cause astronauts to feel like standing 24 hours a day. 10. What can we learn from Captain Kelly? A. He was less likely to suffer age-related diseases. B. He reminded us that living on Earth was comfortable. C. Living in space had no significant impact on his overall health. D. His telomeres lengthened first and then shortened after returning from space. 11. What does the author intend to imply according to this article? A. It is not worth exploring the solar system. B. Travelling in space is an affordable journey. C. It is possible to travel to space as a vacation. D. Exploring the space takes devotion and sacrifice. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍微重力环境对于宇航员的身体的影响。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Although chances of death on their mission are relatively low, the effects of their long term stay in space will likely have an impact on their bodies. (虽然他们在执行任务时死亡的几率相对较低，但他们在太空长期停留的影响可能会对他们的身体产生影响。)”可知，长时间留在太空有可能对宇航员的身体状况有潜在的损害。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The way fluids redistribute themselves in space also causes urine (尿液) to float along the sides of the bladder (膀胱), which can prevent astronauts from feeling a need to urinate until their bladders become completely full, leading to an unexpected, spontaneous need to urinate. (液体在太空中重新分配自己的方式也会导致尿液漂浮在膀胱两侧，这可能会使宇航员在膀胱完全充满之前感觉不到小便的需要，从而导致意外的、自发的小便需要。)”可知，体液会削弱生活在微重力环境中的宇航员的尿意。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“During almost a year in space, Captain Kelly’s telomeres had actually lengthened, which is usually an indicator of lower odds of age-related diseases. However, during the months after returning to Earth, the length of his telomeres was discovered to be critically shorter than his preflight levels. (在近一年的太空生活中，Captain Kelly的端粒实际上变长了，这通常是患与年龄有关疾病的几率较低的一个指标。然而，在返回地球后的几个月里，他的端粒长度被发现比他飞行前的水平短得多。)”可知，从太空回来后，Captain Kelly的端粒先是变长，然后又变短。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“If you are planning a trip to space as your next luxury vacation, prepare to encounter many more serious health consequences in a completely new environment. For astronauts like Captain Kelly, the impact space has on the body is a small price to pay to explore the solar system. For those of us who haven’t been to space yet, health conditions caused by living in microgravity can be a reminder of how comfortable life is here on Earth.(如果你打算去太空旅行作为你的下一个豪华假期，准备在一个全新的环境中遇到更多严重的健康后果。对于像Captain Kelly这样的宇航员来说，太空对身体的影响是探索太阳系的一个小代价。对于我们这些还没有去过太空的人来说，生活在微重力下引起的健康问题可以提醒我们地球上的生活是多么舒适。)”可知，作者想暗示探索太空需要奉献和牺牲。故选D项。 D Have you ever forgotten items when trying to recall a shopping list? Or dialled the wrong phone number when attempting to memorise one? The brain mechanisms (机制) that cause us to draw a blank in such situations have now been identified. Our working memory keeps small pieces of information that are readily accessible for planning, understanding and solving problems. But it will have “swap errors”. For example, if we are shown a red square and a blue circle, and are then asked what colour the circle was, we might say red. To understand why we make such errors, Jeff Johnston at Columbia University and his colleagues recorded the brain activity of two monkeys because a monkey’s working memory is very similar to humans’. The monkeys were shown two differently coloured squares, one above the other, for half a second. After a short delay, a black spot appeared in the same location as one of the squares, and then disappeared. The animals were trained to tell the colour of the square they were supposed to be remembering based on the location of the spot, by staring at the matching colour on a rotatable (可旋转的) wheel. When doing this for about 3 hours over multiple sessions, the monkeys performed the task correctly between 60 and 82 percent of the time, but occasionally made swap errors. The research suggests that the brain responses linked to swap errors emerged before the animals decided which colour to report. They appeared to arise during “selection” when certain items stored in working memory are enhanced at the expense of others, rather than occurring as a result of them forgetting or a failure to correctly encode (编码) items in their working memory. “Everyone assumed there were simpler explanations like failure to encode or forgetting, but this very cool study shows that working memory errors come from a previously unknown source,” says Earl Miller at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The team is planning further experiments to gain a better understanding of mechanisms behind swap errors. 12. What is the function of working memory? A. To identify the errors in understanding. B. To reduce the occurrence of mind blanking. C. To develop the way of distinguishing colours. D. To store information ready for mental use. 13. What were the monkeys tasked with in the research? A. Correcting their errors over multiple sessions. B. Playing a matching game on a rotatable wheel. C. Reporting the colour of the square to memorize. D. Figuring out the exact position of the black spot. 14. What does the research suggest about swap errors? A. They are unusual brain responses. B. They show a tendency for forgetfulness. C. They have an effect on working memory. D. They are the outcome of memory selection. 15. What is Earl Miller’s attitude towards the research findings? A. Unclear. B. Appreciative. C. Objective. D. Negative. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要解释了什么是工作记忆以及针对工作记忆为什么会出现错误的相关研究过程以及发现。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Our working memory keeps small pieces of information that are readily accessible for planning, understanding and solving problems. (我们的工作记忆保存着小块的信息，这些信息很容易用于计划、理解和解决问题)”可知，工作记忆的功能是把信息储存起来以用于计划、理解和解决问题等大脑思维使用方面。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The monkeys were shown two differently coloured squares, one above the other, for half a second. After a short delay, a black spot appeared in the same location as one of the squares, and then disappeared. The animals were trained to tell the colour of the square they were supposed to be remembering based on the location of the spot, by staring at the matching colour on a rotatable (可旋转的) wheel. (给猴子看两个不同颜色的方块，一个在另一个上面，持续半秒钟。在短暂的延迟后，一个黑点出现在与其中一个方块相同的位置，然后消失。动物们经过训练，通过盯着一个可旋转的轮子上的对应颜色，说出它们应该记住的方块的颜色。)”可知，在这项研究中，猴子的任务是在经过训练，通过盯着一个可旋转的轮子上的对应颜色，报告要记忆的正方形颜色。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The research suggests that the brain responses linked to swap errors emerged before the animals decided which colour to report. They appeared to arise during “selection” when certain items stored in working memory are enhanced at the expense of others, rather than occurring as a result of them forgetting or a failure to correctly encode (编码) items in their working memory. (研究表明，与交换错误相关的大脑反应在动物决定报告哪种颜色之前就出现了。它们似乎是在‘选择’过程中产生的，当储存在工作记忆中的某些项目以牺牲其他项目为代价得到加强时，而不是由于他们忘记或未能正确编码工作记忆中的项目而产生的。)”可知，研究表明，与交换错误相关的大脑反应是在‘选择’过程中产生的；由此可知，研究表明，交换错误是记忆选择的结果。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““Everyone assumed there were simpler explanations like failure to encode or forgetting, but this very cool study shows that working memory errors come from a previously unknown source,” says Earl Miller at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.   The team is planning further experiments to gain a better understanding of mechanisms behind swap errors. (麻省理工学院的厄尔·米勒（Earl Miller）说：‘每个人都认为有更简单的解释，比如编码失败或遗忘，但这项非常酷的研究表明，工作记忆错误来自一个以前未知的来源。’该团队正在计划进一步的实验，以更好地了解交换错误背后的机制。)”可知，厄尔·米勒认为这项研究非常酷，它表明工作记忆错误来自一个以前未知的来源；因此，厄尔·米勒对研究发现的态度是积极欣赏的。故选B。 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。 Think of the last time you disagreed with another person. Maybe you argued with a sibling (兄弟姐妹) over what to watch on TV.___16___ How did your disagreement end? Were you able to seethe issue from the other person’s viewpoint? ___17___They are part of life. After all, everyone has different opinions. We all have past experiences that shape how we see the world. Still, not all disagreements are bad. In fact, many people look on them as opportunities to learn. They do so by trying to understand where both sides are coming from. How can you understand both sides of an issue? Often it is best to start by asking questions.___18___The right questions can also help us learn about other people. In a disagreement, asking for more information can help you learn about a person’s viewpoint. It can also lead you to get more facts. This can paint a better picture of the entire issue. When seeking to understand both sides of the issue, it’s important to know the difference between facts and opinions. Remember, facts are based on true information. Opinions can change from person to person. Paying attention to facts can stop biases (偏见) from taking over in a disagreement. ___19___ Disagreements may be uncomfortable at first.___20___The next time you disagree with another person, try asking questions about their viewpoint. You never know what you might learn. A. In many situations, disagreements are unavoidable. B. Questions help us learn about the world around us. C. This can help everyone involved see both sides of the issue. D. After all, don’t most people just want to prove that their side is right? E. Maybe you’re wondering why it’s important to understand both sides of an issue. F Or perhaps you tried to convince grown-ups that ice cream makes a better dinner than vegetables. G. However, when both sides truly try to understand each other, they often find they have more in common than they thought. 【答案】16. F 17. A 18. B 19. C 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章阐述了生活中的分歧是不可避免的，要学会理解对方，站在对方的角度考虑问题才能解决分歧。 【16题详解】 根据上句“Maybe you argued with a sibling (兄弟姐妹) over what to watch on TV.(也许你和你的兄弟姐妹争论看什么电视)”可知，下句也是列举你跟别人发生分歧的情景，因此F项“或者，也许你试图说服成年人，冰淇淋是比蔬菜更好的晚餐”符合语境。故选F。 【17题详解】 根据本段内容及下句“They are part of life.(它们是生活的一部分)”可知，分歧是生活的一部分，说明生活中不可避免地会出现分歧，因此A项“在许多情况下，分歧是不可避免的”符合语境。故选A。 【18题详解】 根据上句“How can you understand both sides of an issue? Often it is best to start by asking questions.(你怎么能理解一个问题的正反两面呢？通常最好从问问题开始)”可知，问问题能够让我们更好地了解事实，根据下句“The right questions can also help us learn about other people.(正确的问题也可以帮助我们了解他人)”中的“also”可知，空处和下文一致，说明问问题的好处，所以B项“问题帮助我们了解我们周围的世界”符合语境。故选B。 【19题详解】 根据上句“Paying attention to facts can stop biases (偏见) from taking over in a disagreement.(关注事实可以阻止偏见在争吵中占上风)”可知，关注事实，能让人不带有偏见，这能让人看清楚事情的本身，所以C项“这可以帮助每一个卷入这场分歧的人看到事情的两个方面”符合语境。故选C。 【20题详解】 根据上句“Disagreements may be uncomfortable at first.(分歧最初也许会让人感觉不舒服)”可知，下句是一个表示转折的句子，所以G项“但是，当双方都试图去理解对方时，他们经常会发现他们比自己想象的有更多的相同之处”符合语境。故选G。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Harbin Tourism Booms in Early 2024 As the curtains of 2024 drew open, Harbin, the northern city known for its icy charm, witnessed a tourism boom unlike any other.

All too often, to our disappointment, great words end up being turned into cinematic “turkeys”. Of course, good movies need good stories, but one of the earliest and greatest works, Homer’s The Odyssey, never had an ___39___(equal) great movie based on it. Movies need strong characters, but the movies based on The Great Gatsby have never been praised ___40___ “great”. Why? One reason is ___41___ when great books move to the big screen, some plot details and characters ___42___(lose). This is something that even Harry Potter movies can’t escape from, with fans of the books disappointed not ___43___(see) some of their favourite characters in the movie versions. When things don’t look the way people imagined them in the books, they also feel disappointed. There ___44___(be) a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people’s eyes. What we should keep in mind is that books and movies are two different forms of media and therefore have different rules. We should judge a movie ____45____ its own right. 【答案】36. a 37. However 38. briefest 39. equally 40. as 41. that 42. are lost 43. to see 44. are 45. in 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文，主要讨论了书籍与根据书籍改编的电影之间的关系，指出好书不一定能改编成好电影，因为二者是不同的媒体形式，有不同的规则。 【36题详解】 考查冠词。句意：有句话叫做“一图胜千言”。空白处后面有名词，根据冠词的用法，单数名词前需使用不定冠词，表示“一个”含义，此处表示泛指，且saying以辅音音素开头，故填a。 【37题详解】 考查副词。句意：然而，在我看来，对书籍和基于它们改编的电影的简短了解会让任何人质疑这一点。根据上文“a picture is worth a thousand words (一图胜千言)”以及下文“lead to anyone questioning it (让任何人质疑这一点)”可知，上下文之间为转折关系，且设空后有逗号，应用however，故填However。 【38题详解】 考查形容词最高级。句意：同上。根据下文“All too often, to our disappointment, great words end up being turned into cinematic “turkeys”(常常让我们失望的是，很好的文学作品最后被改编成了蹩脚的电影)”可知下文说的是很好的文学作品最后被改编成了蹩脚的电影，可推理出此处指“最简短”的了解，应用形容词最高级briefest，故填briefest。 【39题详解】 考查副词。句意：当然，好电影需要好故事，但最早的、最伟大的作品之一荷马的《奥德赛》从未有过一部同样伟大的改编电影。此处修饰形容词great做状语，应用副词equally，故填equally。 【40题详解】 考查介词。句意：电影需要强有力的角色，但基于《了不起的盖茨比》改编的电影从未被称赞为“伟大的”。“be praised as...”为固定短语，含义为“被誉为……”，故填as。 【41题详解】 考查表语从句。句意：其中一个原因是，当伟大的书籍被搬上大银幕时，一些情节细节和人物就会丢失。设空处引导表语从句，从句中不缺成分，且无实际意义，应用that引导该从句，故填that。 【42题详解】 考查被动语态。句意：同上。根据上下文语境可知，此处描述的是一般事实，应用一般现在时，且主语some plot details and characters与lose之间为被动关系，应用一般现在时的被动语态，故填are lost。 【43题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：就连《哈利·波特》系列电影也无法避免这种情况，书迷们对在电影版本中没有看到他们最喜欢的一些角色感到失望。空白处在句子中做状语表示原因，使用非谓语动词，因空白处表示的是一个指向将来的未完成的动作，使用动词不定式，故填to see。 【44题详解】 考查时态和主谓一致。句意：一千个人眼中有一千个哈姆雷特。此处陈述客观事实，应用一般现在时。且主语A thousand Hamlets为复数概念，be动词应用are，故填are。 【45题详解】 考查介词。句意：我们应该根据电影本身来判断一部电影。in one’s own right为固定短语，含义为“凭本身的权利（地位）等”，故填in。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 假定你是李华，你校邀请了Robert博士来校做“AI与高中学习”的主题讲座。作为主持人，请你写一篇欢迎辞，内容包括： 1. 介绍专家； 2. 鼓励学生提问； 3. 表示欢迎。 注意： 1. 写作词数应为80左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 Distinguished guests and fellow students, ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Distinguished guests and dear fellow students, Good afternoon.

My wife Pat and I were having a cup of coffee on our deck. There was rarely any breeze, and it was extremely wet. The sky turned dark. Lightning danced across the sky, accompanied by low, rumbling (隆隆的) thunder. The heavy air seemed to press down on us, adding to our discomfort and unease. Suddenly, the phone rang. It was our son, David, an Army helicopter pilot. Three months earlier, he had begun a one-year assignment in a demilitarized zone (非武装区) in South Korea. David made an effort to sound cheerful, but as a man who had spent time during World War II on a small South Pacific island, I recognized the strong sense of homesickness. A booming clap of thunder shook again. “What was that?” David asked. “It sounded like an explosion.” “Just thunder,” Pat said. There were several seconds of silence. “David,” I asked, “Are you still there?” “I was thinking about what Mother said — ‘just thunder’. Other than the two of you, do you know what I miss most of all — what many of the men say they miss? Thunder. We have rain, wind, snow, and some violent storms, but never thunder.” “Remember, Dad, when I was a boy, how the two of us would stretch out on the floor and listen to the thunder? I wish I were there now to listen with you,” he said softly. As soon as I hung up the phone, I got my tape recorder, my large umbrella and a wooden chair. “I’m going to record our son some thunder,” I told Pat. With lightning flashing across the sky like a display of fireworks, I sat in the driving rain beneath my umbrella and recorded half an hour of the finest Mississippi thunder a lonely man could ever want to hear. The next day I mailed the tape to David with a single line: “A special gift.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 David called again three weeks later. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From then on, thunder had different meanings for Pat and me. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 David called again three weeks later. This time he was his old self. “Dad,” he said, “you won’t believe it! I invited some friends over and we listened to the tape together — instant silence, and then a few minutes of sadness. But once we realized we were listening to the sounds of home, we felt better and connected with the people we missed, like we’d been relieved of a heavy burden. I can’t tell you how much that tape meant to me,” he continued, “Thanks, Dad! It was really a special gift.” From then on, thunder had different meanings for Pat and me. For the next eight months, while David was in Korea, we found ourselves expecting thunderstorms. Rather than feeling depressed on gloomy days, we regarded the storms as a special gift, which seemed to tie us closer to a son so far from home. It was no longer just a sound to us but a bond, a reminder of love that stretched across the miles and brought us lose, no matter how far apart we were. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在异常炎热的一天和妻子帕特在甲板上喝咖啡，闪电划过天空，雷声阵阵，此时接到远在韩国非军事区服役的儿子大卫的电话，儿子了解到电话里的背景声音是雷声后，说想和父母一起听雷声，作者录制了雷声，把带有家乡记忆的录音带寄给了儿子，大卫收到后感到深深的感动和慰藉。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“三周后，大卫再次打来电话。”可知，第一段可描写大卫接到录音带后邀请朋友一起听录音带，录音带给他们带来情感上的共鸣和慰藉，儿子对作者说感谢作者的礼物。 ②由第二段首句内容“从那时起，雷声对帕特和我来说就有了不同的含义。”可知，第二段可描写作者开始期待雷暴，不在对雷暴天气感到沮丧，而认为雷暴是让他们和远在异国他乡的儿子联系的纽带。 2.续写线索：大卫再次打来电话——大卫邀请朋友一起听录音带——录音带给他们带来情感上的共鸣和慰藉——儿子感谢作者的礼物——雷声对作者和妻子有了不同的意义——作者期待雷暴——认为雷暴是让他们和远在异国他乡的儿子联系的纽带——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①意识到：realize (that)/be aware that ②继续：continue/go on ③期望：expect/look forward to 情绪类 ①悲伤：sadness/sorrow ②沮丧的：depressed/frustrated 【点睛】[高分句型1] I can’t tell you how much that tape meant to me,” he continued, “Thanks, Dad!

B Gray had great academic performance in high school and wanted to apply to Harvard and other top schools, but could not afford the application fees, let alone school fees. But with a passion for business, he dreamed of attending a college in the Northeast so he could be close to New York City and other major business centers. In the process of his application, Gray was determined to deal with it by himself. He looked at hundreds of websites, checking scholarship requirements. Many scholarships had very specific qualifications that he didn’t meet. But Gray had 600 volunteer hours and started a nonprofit organization which organized volunteer opportunities for students when he was in high school. So he searched for scholarships that looked for excellent grades combined with leadership and community service. Soon, he got the Gates Millennium Scholarship, which covers school fees from a bachelor’s to a doctor’s degree. A $20,000 scholarship from Coca-Cola followed. He also received a 820,000 Horatio Alger Scholarship and the $ 10,000 Axa Achievement Scholarship. And smaller awards just kept coming. In the end, he had amazing success, receiving 34 scholarships worth $1.3 million — enough to pay for years of school, plus cover his living expenses with some leftover to invest. Gray has used the money for schooling, room and board, daily supplies, travel for interviews, and other needs. After appearing at national conferences and in the media, hundreds of students and parents have emailed and called for advice, which inspired Gray, now a business major at Drexel, to make a mobile-phone app called Scholly—short for “scholarships”— to help other teens get scholarship money. Though the app had thousands of downloads, Gray and his colleagues decided to keep the price only at 99 cents because their purpose was more public service than profit. As for his career plans, he has the goal of a true enterpriser: “Ideally not to have to get a job when I graduate.” 4. What did Gray do when he applied for scholarships? A. He started a nonprofit organization. B. He took part in community service. C. He checked requirements with teammates. D. He matched his strengths with the criteria. 5. Why does Gray develop Scholly? A. To appeal for more downloads. B. To help other teens make apps. C. To facilitate scholarship application. D. To raise funds for his own schooling. 6. Which of the following best describe Christopher Gray? A. Tolerant and diligent. B. Ambitious and generous. C Creative and humble. D Stubborn and adventurous. 7. What does Gray intend to do for his future career? A Starting his own business. B. Working for a charity. C. Maintaining his current job. D. Getting a high paid job. C Climate change, pollution and fast-paced life got you down? Wish you could buy a ticket on the Europa Clipper spacecraft? Before you decide to leave Earth behind, consider the life of an astronaut on the International Space Station (ISS). Two NASA astronauts have been living aboard the ISS since their departure from Earth on June 5. Their mission, originally meant to last around a week, will have gone on for over eight months. NASA’s accepted odds for loss of crew during the extended stay, or chances they two won’t make it back to Earth alive, are 1 in 270. Although chances of death on their mission are relatively low, the effects of their long term stay in space will likely have an impact on their bodies. Living in microgravity causes bodily fluids to become more evenly distributed, with up to two extra liters of blood in the upper body, triggering constant feelings of puffiness (浮肿), especially in the head and face. Captain Kelly, a former NASA astronaut, describes the feeling, “It feels a little like standing on your head 24 hours a day.” The way fluids redistribute themselves in space also causes urine (尿液) to float along the sides of the bladder (膀胱), which can prevent astronauts from feeling a need to urinate until their bladders become completely full, leading to an unexpected, spontaneous need to urinate. Discoveries made during NASA’s study found extended time in space also impacts telomeres (端粒). During almost a year in space, Captain Kelly’s telomeres had actually lengthened, which is usually an indicator of lower odds of age-related diseases. However, during the months after returning to Earth, the length of his telomeres was discovered to be critically shorter than his preflight levels. If you are planning a trip to space as your next luxury vacation, prepare to encounter many more serious health consequences in a completely new environment. For astronauts like Captain Kelly, the impact space has on the body is a small price to pay to explore the solar system. For those of us who haven’t been to space yet, health conditions caused by living in microgravity can be a reminder of how comfortable life is here on Earth. 8. What can we know about the two astronauts from Paragraph 2? A. NASA has accepted the fact of losing them. B. They postpone their missions to eight months later. C. Staying in space has potential damage to their physical conditions. D. The longer they stay in space, the lower chances they have of returning alive. 9. How do the bodily fluids affect astronauts living in microgravity? A. They make astronauts’ whole bodies puffy. B. They greatly weaken astronauts’ urges to urinate. C. They accumulate more in the upper body than the lower. D. They cause astronauts to feel like standing 24 hours a day. 10. What can we learn from Captain Kelly? A. He was less likely to suffer age-related diseases. B. He reminded us that living on Earth was comfortable. C. Living in space had no significant impact on his overall health. D. His telomeres lengthened first and then shortened after returning from space. 11. What does the author intend to imply according to this article? A. It is not worth exploring the solar system. B. Travelling in space is an affordable journey. C. It is possible to travel to space as a vacation. D. Exploring the space takes devotion and sacrifice. D Have you ever forgotten items when trying to recall a shopping list? Or dialled the wrong phone number when attempting to memorise one? The brain mechanisms (机制) that cause us to draw a blank in such situations have now been identified. Our working memory keeps small pieces of information that are readily accessible for planning, understanding and solving problems. But it will have “swap errors”. For example, if we are shown a red square and a blue circle, and are then asked what colour the circle was, we might say red. To understand why we make such errors, Jeff Johnston at Columbia University and his colleagues recorded the brain activity of two monkeys because a monkey’s working memory is very similar to humans’. The monkeys were shown two differently coloured squares, one above the other, for half a second. After a short delay, a black spot appeared in the same location as one of the squares, and then disappeared. The animals were trained to tell the colour of the square they were supposed to be remembering based on the location of the spot, by staring at the matching colour on a rotatable (可旋转的) wheel. When doing this for about 3 hours over multiple sessions, the monkeys performed the task correctly between 60 and 82 percent of the time, but occasionally made swap errors. The research suggests that the brain responses linked to swap errors emerged before the animals decided which colour to report. They appeared to arise during “selection” when certain items stored in working memory are enhanced at the expense of others, rather than occurring as a result of them forgetting or a failure to correctly encode (编码) items in their working memory. “Everyone assumed there were simpler explanations like failure to encode or forgetting, but this very cool study shows that working memory errors come from a previously unknown source,” says Earl Miller at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The team is planning further experiments to gain a better understanding of mechanisms behind swap errors. 12. What is the function of working memory? A. To identify the errors in understanding. B. To reduce the occurrence of mind blanking. C. To develop the way of distinguishing colours. D. To store information ready for mental use. 13. What were the monkeys tasked with in the research? A. Correcting their errors over multiple sessions. B. Playing a matching game on a rotatable wheel. C. Reporting the colour of the square to memorize. D. Figuring out the exact position of the black spot. 14. What does the research suggest about swap errors? A. They are unusual brain responses. B. They show a tendency for forgetfulness. C. They have an effect on working memory. D. They are the outcome of memory selection. 15. What is Earl Miller’s attitude towards the research findings? A. Unclear. B. Appreciative. C. Objective. D. Negative. 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。 Think of the last time you disagreed with another person.

My wife Pat and I were having a cup of coffee on our deck. There was rarely any breeze, and it was extremely wet. The sky turned dark. Lightning danced across the sky, accompanied by low, rumbling (隆隆的) thunder. The heavy air seemed to press down on us, adding to our discomfort and unease. Suddenly, the phone rang. It was our son, David, an Army helicopter pilot. Three months earlier, he had begun a one-year assignment in a demilitarized zone (非武装区) in South Korea. David made an effort to sound cheerful, but as a man who had spent time during World War II on a small South Pacific island, I recognized the strong sense of homesickness. A booming clap of thunder shook again “What was that?” David asked. “It sounded like an explosion.” “Just thunder,” Pat said. There were several seconds of silence. “David,” I asked, “Are you still there?” “I was thinking about what Mother said — ‘just thunder’. Other than the two of you, do you know what I miss most of all — what many of the men say they miss? Thunder. We have rain, wind, snow, and some violent storms, but never thunder.” “Remember, Dad, when I was a boy, how the two of us would stretch out on the floor and listen to the thunder? I wish I were there now to listen with you,” he said softly. As soon as I hung up the phone, I got my tape recorder, my large umbrella and a wooden chair. “I’m going to record our son some thunder,” I told Pat. With lightning flashing across the sky like a display of fireworks, I sat in the driving rain beneath my umbrella and recorded half an hour of the finest Mississippi thunder a lonely man could ever want to hear. The next day I mailed the tape to David with a single line: “A special gift.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 David called again three weeks later. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From then on, thunder had different meanings for Pat and me. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1-5 ABCAB 6-10 CABAC 11-15 BABCB 16-20 BCAAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
