The University of Cambridge said in March that it has been using scores on gaokao as part of its admission criteria (标准) for Chinese students for several years, according to its official Weibo account. In addition to top scores on gaokao, Chinese applicants also need to meet English language requirements, participate in an interview and take a subject-specific written admission assessment (评估). The gaokao has been criticized by some as a one-shot exam that focuses on rote learning (死记硬背) rather than creativity. However, more and more people believe that there's no perfect predictor (评估指标) of academic performance, and gaokao has the advantage of being what educational experts call a criterion-referenced (标准参照) exam: It tests whether students are able to master a given body of knowledge, as well as their ability to work hard and consistently. Recent years have seen more and more foreign universities begin to accept gaokao scores as part of the application process. Despite the gaokao’s growing acceptance among US universities, “there is a long way to go before the US education circle fully recognises the gaokao, as there are still many US universities that don't accept it as part of their application process,” Chu Zhaohui, a researcher from the National Institute of Education Sciences, told the Global Times. 1. According to Paragraph 2, we can learn that__________. A. Chinese applicants need to apply for a Weibo account before attending the tests B. apart from the scores on gaokao, Chinese students need to take part in other tests C. scores on gaokao are used as an only admission criterion for Chinese students D. Chinese applicants have to participate in online interviews 2. It is suggested in the last paragraph that__________. A. gaokao will be abolished (废除) in the near future B. most of the US universities have accepted gaokao as their admission criterion C. it will take a long time for more US universities to accept gaokao D many US students want to apply for universities by attending gaokao 3. The passage is most probably taken from __________. A. a science magazine B. a short-story collection C. a newspaper D. an advertisement 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了越来越多的外国高校承认高考分数，并将它作为申请过程的一部分。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“In addition to top scores on gaokao, Chinese applicants also need to meet English language requirements, participate in an interview and take a subject-specific written admission assessment (评估).(除了高考高分外，中国申请人还需要满足英语语言要求，参加面试，并进行特定科目的书面入学评估)”可知，中国申请人除了有高考分数外还需参加别的考试。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Despite the gaokao’s growing acceptance among US universities, “there is a long way to go before the US education circle fully recognises the gaokao, as there are still many US universities that don't accept it as part of their application process,”(尽管高考在美国大学中的接受度越来越高，但“在美国教育界完全认可高考之前还有很长的路要走，因为仍有许多美国大学不接受高考作为其申请过程的一部分”)”可知，尽管美国大学对高考的接受度有所提升，但“美国教育界完全认可高考仍有很长的路要走”，且许多大学仍不接受高考成绩。故选C项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“The University of Cambridge said in March that it has been using scores on gaokao as part of its admission criteria (标准) for Chinese students for several years, according to its official Weibo account.(剑桥大学官方微博账号显示，剑桥大学3月份表示，多年来一直将高考成绩作为中国学生入学标准的一部分)”和最后一段中“Chu Zhaohui, a researcher from the National Institute of Education Sciences, told the Global Times.(美国国家教育科学研究所的研究员朱朝晖告诉《环球时报》)”可知，文章引用权威机构（如剑桥大学官方微博、《环球时报》）的声明和专家观点，讨论教育政策趋势，属于新闻报道的典型特征，因此最可能出自报纸。故选C项。 B It was just like any other evening. I did the radio show, chatted with listeners and went through e­mails. Except for working 35 hours a week, I spent almost my other time with my kids. Though my husband did well in taking care of them, I still wanted to get more involved in family activities. One day, I got an e­mail. The sender said her name is Winifred. She lived in the Buduburam refugee camp (难民营) in Ghana. She had to take care of three small children, but she couldn't afford to buy food or water for them. And she learned that I had adopted (收养) two African children and thought I might be concerned about the problems in Africa and give her some support. Actually, I knew nothing about Africa. So I turned to a friend of mine for help. As a member of a charity (慈善机构) that aimed to help poor people in Africa, he could help me make sure whether Winifred's words were true or not. Later, I learned that Winifred and her three children suffered from hungry and had no place to sleep. Although having asked for help, they didn't receive any reply. After hearing that, I decided to help this family. In addition, my friend told me many things that happened in Africa, which made me want to help more people like Winifred. I had a picture in my head of what I thought I would see. But the reality of the Buduburam refugee camp was nothing that I could have ever prepared myself for. The local government turned a blind eye to the refugees living here. And I found Winifred and her family among more than 42,000 people crowded into 140 acres, with no clean water and toilets. Most people ate one meal a day. Later, I returned home to Seattle where I'd never gone hungry and never lacked water, realizing how lucky I was! And I founded an organization called Point Hope to bring water and more hope to people at the Buduburam refugee camp. 4. What can we know about the author from Paragraph 1? A. She was bored with her present job. B. Her job failed to support her family. C. She tried to keep a balance between her work and family. D. Her husband wanted her to spend more time with their kids. 5. What did Winifred want the author to do for her? A. Take care of her kids. B. Ease her difficult life. C. Adopt some African kids. D. Encourage other people to help her. 6. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3? A. The author wanted to join a reliable charity. B. The author's friend praised her for helping Winifred. C. The author's friend advised her to volunteer in Africa. D. The author was careful about the truth of Winifred's story. 7. What does the author say about the Buduburam refugee camp in Paragraph 4? A. Its living conditions were shocking. B. It mainly hosted women and children. C. It was well managed by the local government. D. Its refugees wanted to gain health knowledge. 【答案】4 C 5. B 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者偶然帮助了一个难民并开始了自己的慈善事业。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Except for working 35 hours a week, I spent almost my other time with my kids. Though my husband did well in taking care of them, I still wanted to get more involved in family activities. (除了每周工作35个小时，我几乎把其他时间都花在孩子身上了。虽然我的丈夫在照顾他们方面做得很好，但我仍然想更多地参与家庭活动。)”可知作者除了工作，还想更多地参与家庭活动，故推断作者想要平衡好她的工作和家庭。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“She had to take care of three small children, but she couldn't afford to buy food or water for them. And she learned that I had adopted (收养) two African children and thought I might be concerned about the problems in Africa and give her some support. (她必须照顾三个小孩，但她买不起食物和水给他们。她得知我收养了两个非洲孩子，以为我可能关心非洲的问题，会给她一些支持。)”可知，Winifred想让作者减轻一些她的生活压力。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“As a member of a charity (慈善机构) that aimed to help poor people in Africa, he could help me make sure whether Winifred's words were true or not. Later, I learned that Winifred and her three children suffered from hungry and had no place to sleep. Although having asked for help, they didn't receive any reply. After hearing that, I decided to help this family. (作为一个旨在帮助非洲穷人的慈善机构的成员，他可以帮我确定温妮弗雷德的话是真是假。后来，我了解到温妮弗雷德和她的三个孩子挨饿，没有地方睡觉。尽管他们请求帮助，但没有得到任何答复。听了这话，我决定帮助这个家庭。)”可推断，作者对Winifred告诉她的故事抱着谨慎的态度。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。 根据第四段中的“And I found Winifred and her family among more than 42,000 people crowded into 140 acres, with no clean water and toilets. Most people ate one meal a day. (我发现维尼弗雷德和她的家人和42000多人挤在140英亩的土地上，没有干净的水和厕所。大多数人一天只吃一顿饭。)”可推断，Buduburam难民营的条件很艰难，令人震惊。故选A。 C Coffee is an important part of Italian culture and since arriving here over six months ago I have drunk a lot of it! Of course, coffee is also very popular in the UK but coffee culture in Italy is a completely different story. In Italy, when you order a coffee in a café or bar ( 酒吧), you are served with a tiny, bitter espresso. This is“normal (正常的) coffee” for Italians and they are not so interested in the huge coffees that we drink in the UK. If you want more than one sip (小口) of coffee in Italy, lungo is a good choice. It is espresso with a little more water added, but still served in a small cup. In addition, while takeaway coffee is quite popular among Brits, it is not very common at all in Italy, especially in non-touristy areas. Generally, Italians prefer to drink their tiny coffees while standing at the bar and, for many, this short break is an important part of their day. Usually, breakfast in a bar in Italy includes a coffee and a pastry (酥皮糕点). I have been spoiled for choice with lovely cafés in the Italian town I'm living in. These cafés sell different kinds of mouth-watering pastries - either plain (无馅料的) or filled with cream, chocolate, etc - as well as delicious coffee. Cappuccinos are very popular at breakfast time and, for me, a creamy cappuccino and a pastry with chocolate is the perfect way to start the day. Finally, I have found that coffee in Italy is so much cheaper than coffee in the UK. Normally, an espresso or a macchiato (an espresso with a drop of milk) costs around a euro and a cappuccino about €1.50! They are small, of course, but this means that in Italy it is possible to go out for coffee every day without breaking the bank. 8. How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed? A. By time. B. By space. C. By example. D. By comparison. 9. Which coffee will you get in Italy if you order one without special instructions? A. Espresso. B. Lungo. C. Cappuccino. D. Macchiato. 10. What can we learn about the coffee culture in Italy? A. Takeaway coffee is very popular among Italians. B. Italians are very often seen drinking huge coffees. C. Italians like to take short breaks from work for coffee. D. Coffees are often served along with pastries during breakfasts. 11. What does the author think of Italian coffee? A. She loves its bitter taste. B. It is too expensive for her. C. It is a good choice for breakfast. D. The cup it is served in is too small. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。咖啡是意大利文化的重要组成部分，文章主要介绍了意大利的咖啡文化。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中Of course, coffee is also very popular in the UK but coffee culture in Italy is a completely different story.可知当然，咖啡在英国也很受欢迎，但意大利的咖啡文化则完全不同。结合后文对比了意大利和英国的咖啡文化。由此可推知，第二段主要运用了对比的手法来展开的。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中In Italy, when you order a coffee in a café or bar, you are served with a tiny, bitter espresso.可知在意大利，当你在咖啡馆或酒吧点咖啡时，你会得到一杯微苦的意式浓缩咖啡。由此可知，如果没有特别说明，在意大利点的咖啡是浓咖啡。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中Usually, breakfast in a bar in Italy includes a coffee and a pastry ( 酥皮糕点).可知通常，意大利酒吧的早餐包括一杯咖啡和一块点心。由此可知，通常意大利酒吧的早餐包括咖啡和糕点。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中Cappuccinos are very popular at breakfast time and, for me, a creamy cappuccino and a pastry with chocolate is the perfect way to start the day.可知卡布奇诺在早餐时间很受欢迎，对我来说，奶油卡布奇诺和巧克力糕点是开始一天的完美方式。由此可推知，作者认为意大利的咖啡对于早餐是很好的选择。故选C。 【点睛】观点态度题 常问作者对某事是什么态度：主观（subjective）还是客观（objective）；肯定（positive）还是否定（negative）；赞成（approval）还是反对（opposition）等等。解题的关键是要看作者在文中用了什么样的口气。 确定作者态度，可以有两种思路： 1、问全文主体事物的(包括主题)，可以根据阐述主题或有关主体事物的相关句中的形容词、副词或动词确定作者的态度； 2、如果问的是对某一具体事物的态度，则可以定位到具体相关句，然后确定答案。 如第四小题，根据第三段中Cappuccinos are very popular at breakfast time and, for me, a creamy cappuccino and a pastry with chocolate is the perfect way to start the day.可知卡布奇诺在早餐时间很受欢迎，对我来说，奶油卡布奇诺和巧克力糕点是开始一天的完美方式。由此可推知，作者认为意大利的咖啡对于早餐是很好的选择。故选C。 D Tablets（平板电脑） are useful devices, but their big screens always make them as a burden to carry around without a bag. Wouldn’t it be great if there were a phone with the powers of a tablet that could be folded up and fit neatly into the hand? Now something like a tablet-shaped but foldable（可折叠的） phone is about to become available. In February, Samsung and Huawei both introduced foldable phones, the Galaxy Fold and Huawei Mate X separately, to the public for the first time. Mobile phone use has entered the “foldable future”, the Verge noted. The technology could change our lives in significant ways. These devices, due to their bendable screens, give us the larger screens we want but still fit easily into the pocket. The technology could change other devices too. For example, we could make TVs that stick to walls like posters, or fold up easily to hide away in drawers, which could help increase available space to the maximum. In a keynote address, Justin Denison, Samsung’s senior vice president, called the foldable screen “the basis for the smartphone of tomorrow”. “It’s a blank canvas (画布) for us to do something beautiful together,” he said. So is there nothing to stand in the way of the foldable future? According to tech news website Android Authority, the necessary displays were difficult to produce. In 2012, nine out of ten foldable screens produced were defective or unusable. Today, that 10 percent rate has been improved to almost 90 percent. However, at present these foldable devices are expensive. For example, the price of Huawei Mate X is 17, 500 RMB. That's a price that few people will be able to afford. But if the foldable device isn’t going to change the world overnight, there is no doubt that it is coming. Patrick Moorhead, an industry expert told The Verge, “Few are debating if foldable mobile displays are the future of smartphones; the only question is when and by whom.” 12. What do we know about foldable devices? A. They are too big to fit into the pocket. B. They could bring us much convenience. C. They have become available in January. D. They are a burden to carry around without a bag. 13. What can we learn from Denison’s words? A. The foldable screen has great potential. B. The technology could change other devices too. C. There must be many problems with the technology. D. The production of foldable phones will soon decrease. 14. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 3 mean? A. complete B. proper C. imperfect D. normal 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Types of foldable phones. B. The coming of foldable devices. C. Popular devices on the market. D. Difficulties in producing foldable phones. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。短文介绍了随着科技的发展，可折叠技术将应用与手机上和电视上，这项技术可以在很大程度上改变我们的生活，可折叠设备即将到来。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中The technology could change our lives in significant ways. These devices, due to their bendable screens, give us the larger screens we want but still fit easily into the pocket. The technology could change other devices too.“这项技术可以在很大程度上改变我们的生活。由于其可弯曲的屏幕，这些设备给我们提供了我们想要的更大的屏幕，但仍然很容易放进口袋。这项技术也可能改变其他设备。”可推知，折叠设备可以给我们带来很多方便。故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中In a keynote address, Justin Denison, Samsung’s senior vice president, called the foldable screen “the basis for the smartphone of tomorrow”. “It’s a blank canvas (画布) for us to do something beautiful together,” he said.“三星高级副总裁贾斯汀•丹尼森(Justin Denison)在主题演讲中称，可折叠屏幕是“未来智能手机的基础”。“这是一块空白的画布，我们可以一起做一些美好的事情，”他说。”从Denison的话里可判断出，折叠屏幕具有很大的潜力。故选A。 【14题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段中According to tech news website Android Authority, the necessary displays were difficult to produce.“据科技新闻网站Android Authority称，必要的显示屏很难制作。”和第三段中Today, that 10 percent rate has been improved to almost 90 percent.“如今，这一比例已从10%提高到近90%。”可知，In 2012, nine out of ten foldable screens produced were defective or unusable.中的划线词的意思是“不完美的”。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中But if the foldable device isn’t going to change the world overnight, there is no doubt that it is coming.“但如果这种可折叠设备不能在一夜之间改变世界，那么毫无疑问，它将会到来。”可知本文最佳标题是“可折叠设备的到来”。故选B。 【点睛】做词义猜测题时，我们要特别注意熟词生义，切不可脱离语境想当然。在句子或段落中，我们可以利用熟悉的词语，根据语言环境所表示的关系推断生词词义，尤其要重视划线词前后的内容。本题第3小题，根据第三段中According to tech news website Android Authority, the necessary displays were difficult to produce.“据科技新闻网站Android Authority称，必要的显示屏很难制作。”和第三段中Today, that 10 percent rate has been improved to almost 90 percent.“如今，这一比例已从10%提高到近90%。”可知，In 2012, nine out of ten foldable screens produced were defective or unusable.中的划线词的意思是“不完美的”。故选C。 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分7.5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。 Ways to Finally Become a Morning Person Calculate your perfect bedtime The easiest way to wake up earlier in the morning is to get enough sleep.___16___: For a week, remember the number of hours you sleep, including weekends.

F 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了让自己早起的终极绝招。 【16题详解】 根据本段小标题“Calculate your perfect bedtime.”可知，本段建议计算出你的理想上床时间。根据后文“For a week...calculate backwards from the time you want to get up and plan to go to bed at that new hour.”可知，在讲述计算理想上床睡觉时间的具体方法，E项“Here's how to figure out your sleep needs(以下是如何确定你的睡眠需求)”可起到总结后文的作用，且句中的“figure out”与后文“calculate”相呼应。故选E项。 【17题详解】 根据后文“but reading a thriller may not be the best idea.(但是读一部恐怖小说可不是最好的主意)”说明设空句应与阅读有关。选项C“Reading is a great way to relax(阅读是放松的好方法)”符合分析，贴合语境。故选C项。 【18题详解】 根据本段小标题“Create a morning to ­do list.”可知，本段建议罗列好早起事宜。设空句内容应呼应主题，选项D“Write three tasks you have to do the next day(写下你第二天要做的三件事)”呼应本段小标题。故选D项。 【19题详解】 设空处为本段小标题。根据下文“People who exercise are easy to sleep better than those who don't.”可知，锻炼的人往往比那些不锻炼的人睡眠质量高，因此可推知本段的标题应是“锻炼”。B项“Take some exercise(做一些运动)”符合分析，适合做本段标题。故选B项。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Indeed, studies have shown a strong connection to a better quality of sleep for people who work out at least 10 minutes a day.(事实上，研究表明，每天至少锻炼10分钟与睡眠质量高有大大的关联性。)”可知，设空句应对此结论解释原因。选项F“One reason: exercise reduces your stress levels(原因之一：运动可以降低你的压力水平，这反过来又有助于对抗失眠)”合理解释了原因。故选F项。 【点睛】七选五技巧之标题结构好判断 如果考查段落标题，先看看其他标题的语言形式，同一文章中的几个段落小标题基本上是同一语言形式。如果其他标题是名词短语，该题答案也是名词短语；如果其他标题是祈使句，该题的答案也是祈使句。比如文章第4小题： ___4___ People who exercise are easy to sleep better than those who don't. Indeed, studies have shown a strong connection to a better quality of sleep for people who work out at least 10 minutes a day.___5___, which in turn helps fight with sleeplessness. B. Take some exercise 本题要求选小标题。观察其他标题，都是祈使句，因此本标题也应是祈使句；七个选项中A，B，D项为祈使句，且D项已经使用，剩下A，B两项，这样就可大大缩小选择范围；浏览两个选项，再看空后文字，发现“exercise”应为本段主题。故选B项。 第三部分　语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节　(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Nowadays, cellphones play a big part in our life.

Currently 40. to help 41. for 42. anxiety 43. has been supported 44. who 45. preparing 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇新闻报道。布莱顿女子学校将在六年级的学习中心安装一个秋千帮助学生身心平静，建立一种校园文化。 【详解】1.考查过去分词。句意：布莱顿女子学校是一所专为4-18岁儿童开设的私立学校，在一些学生提出要求后，学校将在六年级的学习中心安装一个秋千。动词age和逻辑主语children构成被动关系，年龄是既定事实，所以用过去分词作后置定语。故填aged。 2.考查形容词。句意：经过一番研究，校长罗茜·麦科尔(Rosie McColl)说，她发现秋千会有好处。be动词后应用形容词形式作表语。形容词beneficial意为“有好处的”。故填beneficial。 3.考查冠词。句意：她说:“我认识以前学校的一个学生，他经常在课间到公园里去荡秋千。此处student是首次出现，所以应是泛指，用不定冠词a。故填a。 4.考查副词。句意：目前，我们正在做的是将秋千带入学校，帮助建立一种文化。修饰整个句子作状语应用副词。故填Currently。 5.考查to do不定式。句意：目前，我们正在做的是将秋千带入学校，帮助建立一种文化。此处表目的，把秋千带入学校的目的是帮助建立一种文化，所以用to do不定式。故填to help。 6.考查介词。句意：这将为学生带来更好的结果，无论是在他们的幸福和学术成就方面。表示“为了”应用介词for。表示为学生带来更好的结果。故填for。 7.考查名词。句意：最近的研究表明，当青少年的焦虑情绪达到创纪录的水平时，体育活动可以改善大脑功能，并使身心平静下来。此处作从句的主语应用名词形式。名词anxiety意为“焦虑”。故填anxiety。 8.考查现在完成时和被动语态。句意：到目前为止，McColl的决定得到了家长们的支持，包括萨塞克斯大学的心理学家Sam Cartwright-Hatton，他在9月份学校开学前给政府写了一封信，呼吁开设新的、更有创意的课程来帮助孩子们重新回到课堂上。根据时间状语so far可知，此处应用现在完成时。动词support（支持）和主语decision构成被动关系，且主语为第三人称单数。故填has been supported。 9.考查定语从句。句意：到目前为止，McColl的决定得到了家长们的支持，包括萨塞克斯大学的心理学家Sam Cartwright-Hatton，他在9月份学校开学前给政府写了一封信，呼吁开设新的、更有创意的课程来帮助孩子们重新回到课堂上。空格处引导定语从句，定语从句中缺少主语，且先行词为Sam Cartwright-Hatton，指人，所以应用关系代词who。故填who。 10.考查现在分词。句意：McColl建议准备圣诞节考试的学生们在复习课间到当地的公园去荡秋千。动词prepare（准备）和逻辑主语students构成主动关系，所以用现在分词的一般式的主动作后置定语。故填preparing。 第四部分 写作（共两节, 满分40分） 第一节 应用文写作（满分15分） 46. 假定你是校学生会主席李华，你校将于下周开展以“Labor is the Most Beautiful”为主题的劳动周活动，请你以学生会的名义发起倡议，内容包括： 1.学生目前对劳动的态度； 2.劳动的意义； 3.呼吁参加。 注意: 1.词数 80 左右； 2.开头和结尾已给出，可以适当增加细节，使行文连贯。 Dear fellow students, ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Student Union 【答案】Dear fellow students, Currently, labor education has been increasingly attached great significance to, but some students just absorb themselves in books, believing that labor is a waste of time.

As I moved toward the door, it suddenly fell to the ground and lay still, whimpering (呜咽) softly。 “That dog suffers from the heat,” said a man behind me. I picked it up. It lay like a baby in my arms, looking at me with large, trusting eyes. I opened the door and walked inside. “Do you have some water I can give this dog?” I asked.The shop owner shook his head. “Just leave it alone. It doesn't belong here. Someone will come back for it.” I knew I had never seen the dog before, but the way it looked at me gave me a memory of the past. It needed me. I carried it to my car. As I drove I could feel it looking at me. In the comfortable silence, I drove it to my home and gave it a name — Lucy. When we arrived home, I bathed her and dried her long, curly white fur. Then I placed an old quilt (被子) inside a box in the kitchen. Lucy seemed to know it was for her. Later in the afternoon, the children came home. “Wow, a cute ball of fur!” they said. Lucy turned over onto her back, and my children played with her happily. “We're glad she found us,” the children said. However, three days later, an advertisement appeared: “Lost. One small white dog. Answers to the name of Augy. Reward.” The address was for a traditional clothing shop. When I arrived at the shop later that evening I had an uneasy feeling. A young man greeted the dog warmly, and thanked me very much for taking such good care of her. I knew this man loved his dog. He had paid for an ad and offered a reward. I was sure I had done the right thing by bringing her back, but I was sick at heart to think that I would never meet her again. 注意： 1、续写词数应为150左右； 2、段首语已给出。 Paragraph 1: I refused the reward, and left the shop alone. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The young man’s words were totally unexpected._ _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I refused the reward, and left the shop alone. The next two weeks, I could not keep Lucy out of my thoughts. Then one evening when I returned late from work, my son was waiting for me at the door. “That man phoned,” he said. It could have been anyone, yet I surprised even myself when I said, “You mean the man from the clothing shop?” My son said yes. I phoned back immediately. The young man’s words were totally unexpected. “We have to move to an apartment and can’t take the dog. I think since you took such good care of her, you might like to keep her.” Lucy was waiting at the door when I reached the shop. She stood up to greet me and gave me a knowing look. Then I bent down to pet her softly. As they say, nothing happens by chance. Some things are just meant to be. I think Lucy knew that all along. 【解析】 【导语】本文以动物为线索展开，讲述了作者在一家音像店门口捡到一只小狗并把它带回家取名叫Lucy，作者和孩子们都非常喜欢Lucy，小狗和作者一家玩得很开心，然而三天后狗的主人悬赏找Lucy，作者带着Lucy去见她的主人，想到要和Lucy分开，作者万分不舍。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我拒绝了赏金，独自离开了商店。”可知，第一段可描写作者把Lucy归还主人后非常想念她的过程和某一天儿子说狗主人打电话来。 ②由第二段首句内容“那个年轻人的话完全出乎意料。”可知，第二段可描写那个年轻人准备搬家将Lucy又送给作者的过程。 2.续写线索：想念小狗Lucy——那个年轻人打电话——准备搬家——把狗狗送给作者照顾——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①返回：return/go back ②打电话：phone/ring up/call up ③照顾：take care of/look after 情绪类 ①使某人惊讶：surprise sb./amaze sb. ②温柔地：softly/gently 【点睛】 [高分句型1].

The University of Cambridge said in March that it has been using scores on gaokao as part of its admission criteria (标准) for Chinese students for several years, according to its official Weibo account. In addition to top scores on gaokao, Chinese applicants also need to meet English language requirements, participate in an interview and take a subject-specific written admission assessment (评估). The gaokao has been criticized by some as a one-shot exam that focuses on rote learning (死记硬背) rather than creativity. However, more and more people believe that there's no perfect predictor (评估指标) of academic performance, and gaokao has the advantage of being what educational experts call a criterion-referenced (标准参照) exam: It tests whether students are able to master a given body of knowledge, as well as their ability to work hard and consistently. Recent years have seen more and more foreign universities begin to accept gaokao scores as part of the application process. Despite the gaokao’s growing acceptance among US universities, “there is a long way to go before the US education circle fully recognises the gaokao, as there are still many US universities that don't accept it as part of their application process,” Chu Zhaohui, a researcher from the National Institute of Education Sciences, told the Global Times. 1. According to Paragraph 2, we can learn that__________. A. Chinese applicants need to apply for a Weibo account before attending the tests B. apart from the scores on gaokao, Chinese students need to take part in other tests C. scores on gaokao are used as an only admission criterion for Chinese students D. Chinese applicants have to participate in online interviews 2. It is suggested in the last paragraph that__________. A. gaokao will be abolished (废除) in the near future B. most of the US universities have accepted gaokao as their admission criterion C. it will take a long time for more US universities to accept gaokao D. many US students want to apply for universities by attending gaokao 3. The passage is most probably taken from __________. A. a science magazine B. a short-story collection C. a newspaper D. an advertisement B It was just like any other evening. I did the radio show chatted with listeners and went through e­mails. Except for working 35 hours a week, I spent almost my other time with my kids. Though my husband did well in taking care of them, I still wanted to get more involved in family activities. One day, I got an e­mail. The sender said her name is Winifred. She lived in the Buduburam refugee camp (难民营) in Ghana. She had to take care of three small children, but she couldn't afford to buy food or water for them. And she learned that I had adopted (收养) two African children and thought I might be concerned about the problems in Africa and give her some support. Actually, I knew nothing about Africa. So I turned to a friend of mine for help. As a member of a charity (慈善机构) that aimed to help poor people in Africa, he could help me make sure whether Winifred's words were true or not. Later, I learned that Winifred and her three children suffered from hungry and had no place to sleep. Although having asked for help, they didn't receive any reply. After hearing that, I decided to help this family. In addition, my friend told me many things that happened in Africa, which made me want to help more people like Winifred. I had a picture in my head of what I thought I would see. But the reality of the Buduburam refugee camp was nothing that I could have ever prepared myself for. The local government turned a blind eye to the refugees living here. And I found Winifred and her family among more than 42,000 people crowded into 140 acres, with no clean water and toilets. Most people ate one meal a day. Later, I returned home to Seattle where I'd never gone hungry and never lacked water, realizing how lucky I was! And I founded an organization called Point Hope to bring water and more hope to people at the Buduburam refugee camp. 4. What can we know about the author from Paragraph 1? A. She was bored with her present job. B. Her job failed to support her family. C. She tried to keep a balance between her work and family. D. Her husband wanted her to spend more time with their kids. 5. What did Winifred want the author to do for her? A. Take care of her kids. B. Ease her difficult life. C. Adopt some African kids. D. Encourage other people to help her. 6. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3? A. The author wanted to join a reliable charity. B. The author's friend praised her for helping Winifred. C. The author's friend advised her to volunteer in Africa. D. The author was careful about the truth of Winifred's story. 7. What does the author say about the Buduburam refugee camp in Paragraph 4? A Its living conditions were shocking. B. It mainly hosted women and children. C. It was well managed by the local government. D. Its refugees wanted to gain health knowledge. C Coffee is an important part of Italian culture and since arriving here over six months ago, I have drunk a lot of it! Of course, coffee is also very popular in the UK but coffee culture in Italy is a completely different story. In Italy, when you order a coffee in a café or bar ( 酒吧), you are served with a tiny, bitter espresso. This is“normal (正常的) coffee” for Italians and they are not so interested in the huge coffees that we drink in the UK. If you want more than one sip (小口) of coffee in Italy, lungo is a good choice. It is espresso with a little more water added, but still served in a small cup. In addition, while takeaway coffee is quite popular among Brits, it is not very common at all in Italy, especially in non-touristy areas. Generally, Italians prefer to drink their tiny coffees while standing at the bar and, for many, this short break is an important part of their day. Usually, breakfast in a bar in Italy includes a coffee and a pastry (酥皮糕点). I have been spoiled for choice with lovely cafés in the Italian town I'm living in. These cafés sell different kinds of mouth-watering pastries - either plain (无馅料的) or filled with cream, chocolate, etc - as well as delicious coffee. Cappuccinos are very popular at breakfast time and, for me, a creamy cappuccino and a pastry with chocolate is the perfect way to start the day. Finally, I have found that coffee in Italy is so much cheaper than coffee in the UK. Normally, an espresso or a macchiato (an espresso with a drop of milk) costs around a euro and a cappuccino about €1.50! They are small, of course, but this means that in Italy it is possible to go out for coffee every day without breaking the bank. 8. How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed? A. By time. B. By space. C. By example. D. By comparison. 9. Which coffee will you get in Italy if you order one without special instructions? A. Espresso. B. Lungo. C. Cappuccino. D. Macchiato. 10. What can we learn about the coffee culture in Italy? A. Takeaway coffee is very popular among Italians. B. Italians are very often seen drinking huge coffees. C. Italians like to take short breaks from work for coffee. D. Coffees are often served along with pastries during breakfasts. 11. What does the author think of Italian coffee? A. She loves its bitter taste. B. It is too expensive for her. C. It is a good choice for breakfast. D. The cup it is served in is too small. D Tablets（平板电脑） are useful devices, but their big screens always make them as a burden to carry around without a bag. Wouldn’t it be great if there were a phone with the powers of a tablet that could be folded up and fit neatly into the hand? Now something like a tablet-shaped but foldable（可折叠的） phone is about to become available. In February, Samsung and Huawei both introduced foldable phones, the Galaxy Fold and Huawei Mate X separately, to the public for the first time. Mobile phone use has entered the “foldable future”, the Verge noted. The technology could change our lives in significant ways. These devices, due to their bendable screens, give us the larger screens we want but still fit easily into the pocket. The technology could change other devices too. For example, we could make TVs that stick to walls like posters, or fold up easily to hide away in drawers, which could help increase available space to the maximum. In a keynote address, Justin Denison, Samsung’s senior vice president, called the foldable screen “the basis for the smartphone of tomorrow”. “It’s a blank canvas (画布) for us to do something beautiful together,” he said. So is there nothing to stand in the way of the foldable future? According to tech news website Android Authority, the necessary displays were difficult to produce. In 2012, nine out of ten foldable screens produced were defective or unusable. Today, that 10 percent rate has been improved to almost 90 percent. However, at present these foldable devices are expensive. For example, the price of Huawei Mate X is 17, 500 RMB. That's a price that few people will be able to afford. But if the foldable device isn’t going to change the world overnight, there is no doubt that it is coming. Patrick Moorhead, an industry expert told The Verge, “Few are debating if foldable mobile displays are the future of smartphones; the only question is when and by whom.” 12. What do we know about foldable devices? A They are too big to fit into the pocket. B. They could bring us much convenience. C. They have become available in January. D. They are a burden to carry around without a bag. 13. What can we learn from Denison’s words? A. The foldable screen has great potential. B. The technology could change other devices too. C. There must be many problems with the technology. D. The production of foldable phones will soon decrease. 14. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 3 mean?

As I moved toward the door, it suddenly fell to the ground and lay still, whimpering (呜咽) softly。 “That dog suffers from the heat,” said a man behind me. I picked it up. It lay like a baby in my arms, looking at me with large, trusting eyes. I opened the door and walked inside. “Do you have some water I can give this dog?” I asked.The shop owner shook his head. “Just leave it alone. It doesn't belong here. Someone will come back for it.” I knew I had never seen the dog before, but the way it looked at me gave me a memory of the past. It needed me. I carried it to my car. As I drove I could feel it looking at me. In the comfortable silence, I drove it to my home and gave it a name — Lucy. When we arrived home, I bathed her and dried her long, curly white fur. Then I placed an old quilt (被子) inside a box in the kitchen. Lucy seemed to know it was for her. Later in the afternoon, the children came home. “Wow, a cute ball of fur!” they said. Lucy turned over onto her back, and my children played with her happily. “We're glad she found us,” the children said. However, three days later, an advertisement appeared: “Lost. One small white dog. Answers to the name of Augy. Reward.” The address was for a traditional clothing shop. When I arrived at the shop later that evening I had an uneasy feeling. A young man greeted the dog warmly, and thanked me very much for taking such good care of her. I knew this man loved his dog. He had paid for an ad and offered a reward. I was sure I had done the right thing by bringing her back, but I was sick at heart to think that I would never meet her again. 注意： 1、续写词数应为150左右； 2、段首语已给出。 Paragraph 1: I refused the reward, and left the shop alone. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The young man’s words were totally unexpected._ _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1-5BABCA　 6-10CBACC 11-15BACAB　 16-20ACBAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
