I watched the earth get smaller and smaller below me. It all looked very far away, especially given that I was to journey all the way back to the ground with a parachute (降落伞). I looked at the door on the side of the aircraft and thought about why I was there.
Today should have been my granny’s 80th birthday. But she passed away from cancer when she was 76. Milestone birthdays were a big deal for my granny. She marked her 50th year by running her first marathon, her 60th year by learning to swim so she could do her first triathlon (铁人三项), and her 70th year by jumping out of a plane. I know she was afraid to jump out of the plane that day, but she wanted to make that jump and met her fear with joy and determination, qualities that defined how she lived through everything — raising my father and my aunt, marathons, triathlons, cancer.
I started the day looking at her birthday photos, eagerly wondering what she would do for today. I wanted to transport myself into the plane with her, ask her everything about how she was feeling and why she was there, and hear her answering every question I regret never asking her. Actually, I miss her so much and always find it hard to decide what to do with the big days like her birthdays.
Feeling lost in my thoughts, I went for a run but only made it a few blocks before I was hit with an unstoppable thought. “I should’ve gone skydiving today.” It came out of nowhere. But once it was in my head, I couldn’t shake it. I pulled out my phone and searched for “skydiving Oregon”. I clicked on the first result and the first thing I saw was blue text on the bottom corner of the website — “Call for same day appointments”. That is how I found myself high up at the back of a plane.
“You can always back out,” my brother reminded me, when I called him on my way to the skydiving place. But I didn’t. Something had kept me going. I just kept seeing my granny, staring out the plane window, smiling wide. And I had been surprised that it wasn’t just fear I was feeling. As I took off, my smile was as wide as my granny’s.
The door slid open. Every nerve ending in my body flashed red. I didn’t back out. I wanted to live the day as my granny would have — in a brave, wholehearted way. Today, that meant jumping out of a plane.
24. How did the writer’s granny celebrate her milestone birthdays?
A. By making exciting life plans. B. By enjoying family gatherings.
C. By conquering new challenges. D. By hosting sports competitions.
25. The writer decided to go skydiving when ______.
A. she was looking through her granny’s photos
B. she was running around the neighborhood
C. she was searching for information online
D. she was making a call to her brother
26. How did the writer feel when she was on the plane?
A. Fearful but expectant. B. Upset but determined.
C. Regretful but curious. D. Hesitant but inspired.
27. What can we learn from the story?
A. Home is where the heart is.
B. Milestones are the stepping stones to success.
C. The greatest memorial is to pass something on.
D. The only limits to tomorrow are the doubts of today.

Few would question that arts, in its massive forms and media, are like a mirror that reflects the social, cultural, economic or even political situation of a society of a particular era. However, beyond being simply an illustration of the human condition, arts can be vital in pushing the country forward culturally and economically.
Without doubt, arts are important for the progress of society. They enable individuals to develop on the whole and deepen the social ties in communities by gathering people to create, experience and enjoy art together, which can be seen from traditional ethnic dances to interactive theatre performanccs. Beyond material wants and needs, human beings find fulfilment in experiencing and expressing things of remarkable value through arts. Meanwhile, strong citizens’ participation in arts also strengthens the social fabric of a nation.
Moreover, arts enable a nation to progress in human rights and values. As powerful media that are able to stir hearts and cause reflection, arts can speak up the human voice of criticism sharply and clearly in times of crisis, and call upon society to seek the common good. It is evident that arts, which express human values and emotions, can constitute a profound way of promoting human dignity and additionally, form the barrier of the ethical and moral life of society.
More often than not, a booming arts scene may not narrow the rich-poor divide. It’s not hard to see that in a highly competitive world, it is essential for governments to prioritize the development of a strong workforce and the building of sustainable industries. However, arts may well complement (补充) economic policies as arts encourage individuals to exercise creativity. As Albert Einstein stated, imagination is more important than knowledge. While knowledge and professional skills may stimulate a country’s development, the ability to innovate and think out of the box may be valuable to a society facing ever new and unpredictable challenges.
While the importance of arts may differ from country to country, depending on its economic circumstances and the socio-political issues, the importance of arts to the progress of a nation should not be overlooked.
28. What’s the first paragraph mainly about?
A. The forms of arts.
B. The functions of arts.
C. The definition of arts.
D. The development of arts.
29. How do arts influence human rights and values?
A. By reflecting humans’ views.
B. By pointing out the common good.
C. By giving people a sense of fulfilment.
D. By forming the moral standard of society.
30. Why is Albert Einstein mentioned in paragraph 4?
A. To praise Albert Einstein’s achievements.
B. To call on humans to remember our history.
C. To stress the importance of arts in creativity.
D To show the necessity of knowledge and skills.
31. What will the author probably agree with?
A. Arts serve as the major influence in values.
B Arts play a part in the progress of a country.
C. Arts should aim at strengthening social bonds.
D. Arts can bridge the gap between rich and poor.
D
The problem of robocalls has gotten so bad that many people now refuse to pick up calls from numbers they don’t know. By next year, half of the calls we receive will be scams(欺诈). We are finally waking up to the severity of the problem by supporting and developing a group of tools, apps and approaches intended to prevent scammers from getting through. Unfortunately, it’s too little, too late. By the time these “solutions” become widely available, scammers will have moved onto cleverer means. In the near future, it’s not just going to be the number you see on your screen that will be in doubt. Soon you will also question whether the voice you’re hearing is actually real.
That’s because there are a number of powerful voice manipulation ( 处理 ) and automation technologies that are about to become widely available for anyone to use. At this year’s I/O Conference, a company showed a new voice technology able to produce such a convincing human-sounding voice that it was able to speak to a receptionist and book a reservation without detection.
These developments are likely to make our current problems with robocalls much worse. The reason that robocalls are a headache has less to do with amount than precision. A decade of data breaches(数据侵入)of personal information has led to a situation where scammers can easily learn your mother’s name, and far more. Armed with this knowledge, they’re able to carry out individually targeted campaigns to cheat people. This means, for example, that a scammer could call you from what looks to be a familiar number and talk to you using a voice that sounds exactly like your bank teller’s, tricking you into "confirming" your address, mother’s name, and card number. Scammers follow money, so companies will be the worst hit. A lot of business is still done over the phone, and much of it is based on trust and existing relationships. Voice manipulation technologies may weaken that gradually.
We need to deal with the insecure nature of our telecom networks. Phone carriers and consumers need to work together to find ways of determining and communicating what is real. That might mean either developing a uniform way to mark videos and images, showing when and who they were made by, or abandoning phone calls altogether and moving towards data-based communications — using apps like FaceTime or WhatsApp, which can be tied to your identity.
Credibility is hard to earn but easy to lose and the problem is only going to get harder from here on out.
32. How does the author feel about the solutions to problem of robocalls?
A. Panicked. B. Confused.
C. Embarrassed. D. Disappointed.
33. Taking advantage of the new technologies, scammers can ___________.
A. aim at victims precisely B. damage databases easily
C. start campaigns rapidly D. spread information widely
34. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Where the Problem of Robocalls Is Rooted
B. Who Is to Blame for the Problem of Robocalls
C. Why Robocalls Are About to Get More Dangerous
D. How Robocalls Are Affecting the World of Technology

根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Third-Culture Kids
Did you grow up in one culture, your parents came from another, and you are now living in a totally different country? If so, then you are a third-culture kid!
The term “third-culture kid”(or TCK) was coined in the 1960s by Dr. Ruth. She first came across this phenomenon when she researched North American children living in India. Caught between two cultures, they form their very own. ___35___ About 90 percent of them have a university degree, while 40 percent pursue a postgraduate or doctor degree. They usually benefit from their intercultural experience, which helps them to grow into successful academics and professionals.
___36___ In fact many hardships may arise from this phenomenon. Third-culture kids may not be able to adapt themselves completely to their new surroundings as expected. Instead, they may always remain an outsider in different host cultures. Max, for example, experienced this fundamental feeling of strangeness throughout his life as a third-culture kid. ___37___ While this can be a way to create a network of friends all around the world, it can be difficult for a third-culture kid like Max to maintain close friendships and relationships.
___38___ After living in Australia and South Korea for many years, Louis finally returned to Turkey as a teenager. But she felt out of place when she returned to the country where she was born. Unlike other teens of her age, she didn’t know anything about current TV shows or fashion trends. She did not share the same values as her friends’ even years after going back home.
While third-culture kids must let go of their identity as foreigner when they return, the home country can prove to be more foreign than anything they came across before. The peer group they face does not match the idealized image children have of “home”. ___39___
As a part of the growing “culture”, TCKs may find it a great challenge for them to feel at home in many places.
A. For third-culture kids, it is often easier to move to a new foreign country than to return to their “home” country.
B. Additionally, making new friends and saying goodbye to old ones will at some point become routine for third-culture kids.
C. However, their parents can help them see the opportunities of a mobile lifestyle.
D. This often makes it hard for them to form their own identity.
E. Yet being third-culture kids is not always easy.
F. Their experience abroad helps them to gain a better understanding of cultural differences.
G. In general they often reach excellent academic results.
第三部分:书面表达(共两节,32分)
第一节:阅读表达(共4小题:第1、2题各2分,第3题3分,第4题5分,共12分)
阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
You might not have heard of the "fresh start effect”, but if you've ever made a New Year's resolution, you're familiar with it. It refers to the human tendency to take action towards achieving a goal after a special occasion or key date has passed.
The fresh start effect is simple. Most people want to improve themselves in some way. When we hit important milestones, we're often likely to reflect: are we where we thought we'd be by a certain age? Was this year a successful year, or did we waste it? Annual landmarks like birthdays, or the start of a new year, signify a new time period and an opportunity to leave slip-ups behind and to set new goals for better behavior.
Research shows that anticipation of a new beginning is a key motivator for the fresh start effect. For example, people aged 29, 39, 49 etc. were 48% more likely to run a marathon for the first time. When they were approaching a new decade, they were more likely to search for meaning in their lives and try to improve themselves. The reason is simple. When we see our past self as separate from our current self, we feel it easier to introduce new goals and take action.
What's interesting about the fresh start effect is that we don't need to wait for big milestones to take advantage of this sudden dose of motivation. Studies show that the first day of each month and even each week can also inspire us. These days, known as temporal landmarks”, encourage us to step back and evaluate our current situation. And when we do this, we gain the motivation to be better: we become more driven and more productive. That is why people are more likely to stall diets or exercise plans on Monday, rather than the next day.
Fresh starts are exciting opportunities to learn from your mistakes and move forward. So if you're currently experiencing loss of motivation, questioning the meaning of your work, or just feel like you're stuck in a rut, why don't you use the fresh start effect in your own life?
40. According to the passage, what is "fresh start effect"?
41. Why is it that anticipation of a new beginning is a key motivator for the fresh start effect?
42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
> A fresh start like the first day of each week is a time when we forget about our mistakes and move forward.
43. Besides the fresh start effect, in what other ways do you motivate yourself in your life? (In about 40 words)

考查时态。句意:消防员解开了他的脚,但在此过程中不得不拆开自行车。空处是句子的谓语动词,陈述过去发生的动作,为一般过去时,“free”作动词表示“使自由;解放”,其过去式为“freed”。故填freed。
【16题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:后来,他们用一辆全新的自行车替换了他损坏的自行车,给了男孩一个惊喜。根据空前形容词性物主代词“his”和空后名词“bike”可知,空处修饰名词作定语,且damage与bike为被动关系,用过去分词damaged作定语。故填damaged。
【17题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这种善举迅速在网上传播,因其超越了职责范围的行为而赢得了当地人的赞誉。句中已有谓语动词“spread”,设空处需填入一个分词作状语,表示“draw”与“This kind act为主动关系,用现在分词作状语。故填drawing。

I watched the earth get smaller and smaller below me. It all looked very far away, especially given that I was to journey all the way back to the ground with a parachute (降落伞). I looked at the door on the side of the aircraft and thought about why I was there.
Today should have been my granny’s 80th birthday. But she passed away from cancer when she was 76. Milestone birthdays were a big deal for my granny. She marked her 50th year by running her first marathon, her 60th year by learning to swim so she could do her first triathlon (铁人三项), and her 70th year by jumping out of a plane. I know she was afraid to jump out of the plane that day, but she wanted to make that jump and met her fear with joy and determination, qualities that defined how she lived through everything — raising my father and my aunt, marathons, triathlons, cancer.
I started the day looking at her birthday photos, eagerly wondering what she would do for today. I wanted to transport myself into the plane with her, ask her everything about how she was feeling and why she was there, and hear her answering every question I regret never asking her. Actually, I miss her so much and always find it hard to decide what to do with the big days like her birthdays.
Feeling lost in my thoughts, I went for a run but only made it a few blocks before I was hit with an unstoppable thought. “I should’ve gone skydiving today.” It came out of nowhere. But once it was in my head, I couldn’t shake it. I pulled out my phone and searched for “skydiving Oregon”. I clicked on the first result and the first thing I saw was blue text on the bottom corner of the website — “Call for same day appointments”. That is how I found myself high up at the back of a plane.
“You can always back out,” my brother reminded me, when I called him on my way to the skydiving place. But I didn’t. Something had kept me going. I just kept seeing my granny, staring out the plane window, smiling wide. And I had been surprised that it wasn’t just fear I was feeling. As I took off, my smile was as wide as my granny’s.
The door slid open. Every nerve ending in my body flashed red. I didn’t back out. I wanted to live the day as my granny would have — in a brave, wholehearted way. Today, that meant jumping out of a plane.
24. How did the writer’s granny celebrate her milestone birthdays?
A. By making exciting life plans. B. By enjoying family gatherings.
C. By conquering new challenges. D. By hosting sports competitions.
25. The writer decided to go skydiving when ______.
A. she was looking through her granny’s photos
B. she was running around the neighborhood
C. she was searching for information online
D. she was making a call to her brother
26. How did the writer feel when she was on the plane?
A. Fearful but expectant. B. Upset but determined.
C Regretful but curious. D. Hesitant but inspired.
27. What can we learn from the story?
A. Home is where the heart is.
B. Milestones are the stepping stones to success.
C. The greatest memorial is to pass something on.
D. The only limits to tomorrow are the doubts of today.
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. A 27. C

Few would question that arts, in its massive forms and media, are like a mirror that reflects the social, cultural, economic or even political situation of a society of a particular era. However, beyond being simply an illustration of the human condition, arts can be vital in pushing the country forward culturally and economically.
Without doubt, arts are important for the progress of society. They enable individuals to develop on the whole and deepen the social ties in communities by gathering people to create, experience and enjoy art together, which can be seen from traditional ethnic dances to interactive theatre performanccs. Beyond material wants and needs, human beings find fulfilment in experiencing and expressing things of remarkable value through arts. Meanwhile, strong citizens’ participation in arts also strengthens the social fabric of a nation.
Moreover, arts enable a nation to progress in human rights and values. As powerful media that are able to stir hearts and cause reflection, arts can speak up the human voice of criticism sharply and clearly in times of crisis, and call upon society to seek the common good. It is evident that arts, which express human values and emotions, can constitute a profound way of promoting human dignity and additionally, form the barrier of the ethical and moral life of society.
More often than not, a booming arts scene may not narrow the rich-poor divide. It’s not hard to see that in a highly competitive world, it is essential for governments to prioritize the development of a strong workforce and the building of sustainable industries. However, arts may well complement (补充) economic policies as arts encourage individuals to exercise creativity. As Albert Einstein stated, imagination is more important than knowledge. While knowledge and professional skills may stimulate a country’s development, the ability to innovate and think out of the box may be valuable to a society facing ever new and unpredictable challenges.
While the importance of arts may differ from country to country, depending on its economic circumstances and the socio-political issues, the importance of arts to the progress of a nation should not be overlooked.
28. What’s the first paragraph mainly about?
A. The forms of arts.
B. The functions of arts.
C. The definition of arts.
D. The development of arts.
29. How do arts influence human rights and values?
A. By reflecting humans’ views.
B. By pointing out the common good.
C. By giving people a sense of fulfilment.
D. By forming the moral standard of society.
30. Why is Albert Einstein mentioned in paragraph 4?
A. To praise Albert Einstein’s achievements.
B. To call on humans to remember our history.
C. To stress the importance of arts in creativity.
D. To show the necessity of knowledge and skills.
31. What will the author probably agree with?
A Arts serve as the major influence in values.
B. Arts play a part in the progress of a country.
C. Arts should aim at strengthening social bonds.
D. Arts can bridge the gap between rich and poor.
【答案】28. B 29. D 30. C 31. B

【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段第三四句“However, arts may well complement (补充) economic policies as arts encourage individuals to exercise creativity. As Albert Einstein stated, imagination is more important than knowledge. (然而,艺术可以很好地补充经济政策,因为艺术鼓励个人去发挥自己的创造力。正如爱因斯坦所说,想象力比知识更重要) ”可推知,引用爱因斯坦的话是为了说明艺术的重要性,因为它可以激发创造力。故选C项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“While the importance of arts may differ from country to country, depending on its economic circumstances and the socio-political issues, the importance of arts to the progress of a nation should not be overlooked. (尽管艺术的重要性因为不同国家的经济,社会政治问题而有所不同,但是艺术对一个国家发展进步的重要性不应该被忽视)”可推知,作者认为艺术在国家发展中有重要作用。故选B项。

The problem of robocalls has gotten so bad that many people now refuse to pick up calls from numbers they don’t know. By next year, half of the calls we receive will be scams(欺诈). We are finally waking up to the severity of the problem by supporting and developing a group of tools, apps and approaches intended to prevent scammers from getting through. Unfortunately, it’s too little, too late. By the time these “solutions” become widely available, scammers will have moved onto cleverer means. In the near future, it’s not just going to be the number you see on your screen that will be in doubt. Soon you will also question whether the voice you’re hearing is actually real.
That’s because there are a number of powerful voice manipulation ( 处理 ) and automation technologies that are about to become widely available for anyone to use. At this year’s I/O Conference, a company showed a new voice technology able to produce such a convincing human-sounding voice that it was able to speak to a receptionist and book a reservation without detection.
These developments are likely to make our current problems with robocalls much worse. The reason that robocalls are a headache has less to do with amount than precision. A decade of data breaches(数据侵入)of personal information has led to a situation where scammers can easily learn your mother’s name, and far more. Armed with this knowledge, they’re able to carry out individually targeted campaigns to cheat people. This means, for example, that a scammer could call you from what looks to be a familiar number and talk to you using a voice that sounds exactly like your bank teller’s, tricking you into "confirming" your address, mother’s name, and card number. Scammers follow money, so companies will be the worst hit. A lot of business is still done over the phone, and much of it is based on trust and existing relationships. Voice manipulation technologies may weaken that gradually.
We need to deal with the insecure nature of our telecom networks. Phone carriers and consumers need to work together to find ways of determining and communicating what is real. That might mean either developing a uniform way to mark videos and images, showing when and who they were made by, or abandoning phone calls altogether and moving towards data-based communications — using apps like FaceTime or WhatsApp, which can be tied to your identity.
Credibility is hard to earn but easy to lose, and the problem is only going to get harder from here on out.
32. How does the author feel about the solutions to problem of robocalls?
A. Panicked. B. Confused.
C. Embarrassed. D. Disappointed.
33. Taking advantage of the new technologies, scammers can ___________.
A. aim at victims precisely B. damage databases easily
C. start campaigns rapidly D. spread information widely
34. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Where the Problem of Robocalls Is Rooted
B. Who Is to Blame for the Problem of Robocalls
C. Why Robocalls Are About to Get More Dangerous
D. How Robocalls Are Affecting the World of Technology
【答案】32. D 33. A 34. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。这篇文章主要讲了诈骗电话越来越危险的原因。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段By the time these “solutions” become widely available, scammers will have moved onto cleverer means.(等到这些“解决方案”被广泛使用时,骗子们就会转向更聪明的手段。)由此推断出,作者对诈骗电话问题的解决方案非常失望。A. Panicked.恐慌;B. Confused.困惑;C. Embarrassed.窘迫;D. Disappointed.失望。故选D。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段The reason that robocalls are a headache has less to do with amount than precision.(诈骗电话之所以让人头疼,与数量无关,而与准确性有关。)由此可知利用新技术,诈骗者可以精确地瞄准受害者,故选A。
【34题详解】
主旨大意题。第三段These developments are likely to make our current problems with robocalls much worse.是全文的主题句,结合全文内容,可知这篇文章主要讲了诈骗电话越来越危险的原因,所以这篇文章最好的题目是“为什么机器人电话越来越危险”,故选C。

Third-Culture Kids
Did you grow up in one culture, your parents came from another, and you are now living in a totally different country? If so, then you are a third-culture kid!
The term “third-culture kid”(or TCK) was coined in the 1960s by Dr. Ruth. She first came across this phenomenon when she researched North American children living in India. Caught between two cultures, they form their very own. ___35___ About 90 percent of them have a university degree, while 40 percent pursue a postgraduate or doctor degree. They usually benefit from their intercultural experience, which helps them to grow into successful academics and professionals.
___36___ In fact many hardships may arise from this phenomenon. Third-culture kids may not be able to adapt themselves completely to their new surroundings as expected. Instead, they may always remain an outsider in different host cultures. Max, for example, experienced this fundamental feeling of strangeness throughout his life as a third-culture kid. ___37___ While this can be a way to create a network of friends all around the world, it can be difficult for a third-culture kid like Max to maintain close friendships and relationships.
___38___ After living in Australia and South Korea for many years, Louis finally returned to Turkey as a teenager. But she felt out of place when she returned to the country where she was born. Unlike other teens of her age, she didn’t know anything about current TV shows or fashion trends. She did not share the same values as her friends’ even years after going back home.
While third-culture kids must let go of their identity as foreigner when they return, the home country can prove to be more foreign than anything they came across before. The peer group they face does not match the idealized image children have of “home”. ___39___
As a part of the growing “culture”, TCKs may find it a great challenge for them to feel at home in many places.
A. For third-culture kids, it is often easier to move to a new foreign country than to return to their “home” country.
B. Additionally, making new friends and saying goodbye to old ones will at some point become routine for third-culture kids.
C. However, their parents can help them see the opportunities of a mobile lifestyle.
D. This often makes it hard for them to form their own identity.
E. Yet being third-culture kids is not always easy.
F. Their experience abroad helps them to gain a better understanding of cultural differences.
G. In general, they often reach excellent academic results.
【答案】35. G 36. E 37. B 38. A 39. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“第三文化儿童”这一社会现象,介绍了这类人群的特点以及遇到的困难。
【35题详解】
根据后文“About 90 percent of them have a university degree, while 40 percent pursue a postgraduate or doctor degree. They usually benefit from their intercultural experience, which helps them to grow into successful academics and professionals. (其中约90%的人拥有大学学位,40%的人攻读研究生或博士学位。他们通常会从跨文化的经历中受益,这有助于他们成长为成功的学者和专业人士。)”可知,第三文化的孩子大多数拥有大学学位,40%的人攻读研究生或博士学位,可见他们的学习都很好,学术成绩都很优秀。故G选项“一般来说,他们的学术成绩都很优秀。”符合语境。故选G。
【36题详解】
根据后文“In fact many hardships may arise from this phenomenon. A third-culture kid may not be able to adapt themselves completely to their new surroundings as expected. Instead, they may always remain an outsider in different host cultures. Max, for example, experienced this fundamental feeling of strangeness throughout his life as a third-culture kid. (事实上,这种现象可能会带来很多困难。第三种文化的孩子可能无法像预期的那样完全适应新环境。相反,在不同的东道主文化中,他们可能永远是一个局外人。例如,马克斯作为一个第三种文化的孩子,在他的一生中经历了这种基本的陌生感。)”可知,后文列举了第三种文化的孩子遇到的困难,可见他们的生活并不总是容易的。故E选项“然而,作为第三种文化背景的孩子并不总是容易的。”符合语境。故选E。
【37题详解】
根据后文“While this can be a way to create a network of friends all around the world, it can be difficult for a third-culture kid like Max to maintain close friendships and relationships. (虽然这是一种在世界各地建立朋友网络的方法,但对于像马克斯这样的第三文化孩子来说,维持亲密的友谊和关系可能是困难的。)”可知,后文提到了维持友谊和关系的困难,可推测本句是在说明第三文化孩子在交友方面的困难。故B选项“此外,结交新朋友和告别老朋友在某种程度上会成为第三文化孩子的例行公事。”符合语境。故选B。
【38题详解】
根据下文“After living in Australia and South Korea for many years, Louis finally returned to Turkey as a teenager. But she felt out of place when she returned to the country where she was born. (在澳大利亚和韩国生活多年后,路易斯终于在十几岁的时候回到了土耳其。但当她回到她出生的国家时,她感到格格不入。)”可知,本段主要讲,搬到一个新的外国比回到他们的“祖国”要容易得多。故A选项“对于第三文化的孩子来说,搬到一个新的外国比回到他们的“祖国”要容易得多。”符合语境,为本段的标题。故选A项。
【39题详解】
根据上文“While a third-culture kid must let go of their identity as foreigner when he/she returns, the home country can prove to be more foreign than anything he/she came across before. The peer group they face does not match the idealized image children have of “home” . (当第三种文化背景的孩子回国时,必须放弃他们作为外国人的身份,而祖国可能会证明比他/她之前遇到的任何东西都更外国。他们所面对的同龄群体与孩子们心目中理想的“家”形象并不相符。)”可知,本段主要是关于第三文化孩子关于身份的形成困难,C选项中identity对应上文中identity。故D选项“这常常使他们很难形成自己的身份。”符合语境。故选D。
第三部分:书面表达(共两节,32分)
第一节:阅读表达(共4小题:第1、2题各2分,第3题3分,第4题5分,共12分)
阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
You might not have heard of the "fresh start effect”, but if you've ever made a New Year's resolution, you're familiar with it. It refers to the human tendency to take action towards achieving a goal after a special occasion or key date has passed.
The fresh start effect is simple. Most people want to improve themselves in some way. When we hit important milestones, we're often likely to reflect: are we where we thought we'd be by a certain age? Was this year a successful year, or did we waste it? Annual landmarks like birthdays, or the start of a new year, signify a new time period and an opportunity to leave slip-ups behind and to set new goals for better behavior.
Research shows that anticipation of a new beginning is a key motivator for the fresh start effect. For example, people aged 29, 39, 49 etc. were 48% more likely to run a marathon for the first time. When they were approaching a new decade, they were more likely to search for meaning in their lives and try to improve themselves. The reason is simple. When we see our past self as separate from our current self, we feel it easier to introduce new goals and take action.
What's interesting about the fresh start effect is that we don't need to wait for big milestones to take advantage of this sudden dose of motivation. Studies show that the first day of each month and even each week can also inspire us. These days, known as temporal landmarks”, encourage us to step back and evaluate our current situation. And when we do this, we gain the motivation to be better: we become more driven and more productive. That is why people are more likely to stall diets or exercise plans on Monday, rather than the next day.
Fresh starts are exciting opportunities to learn from your mistakes and move forward. So if you're currently experiencing loss of motivation, questioning the meaning of your work, or just feel like you're stuck in a rut, why don't you use the fresh start effect in your own life?
40. According to the passage, what is "fresh start effect"?
41. Why is it that anticipation of a new beginning is a key motivator for the fresh start effect?
42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
> A fresh start like the first day of each week is a time when we forget about our mistakes and move forward.
43. Besides the fresh start effect, in what other ways do you motivate yourself in your life? (In about 40 words)
【答案】40. It refers to the human tendency to take action towards achieving a goal after a special occasion or key date has passed.
41. Because it is easier to introduce new goals and take action.
42. A fresh start like the first day of each week is a time when we forget about our mistakes and move forward.
Because resh starts are exciting opportunities to learn from your mistakes and move forward.
43. In my daily life, I motivate myself by learning from idols who are hard working, diligent and strict with themselves. Modeling myself on them can help me to make progress and motivate me not to give up.
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍fresh start effect (新起点效应),及这个效应对我们生活的帮助。
【40题详解】
考查细节理解。根据文章第一段“It refers to the human tendency to take action towards achieving a goal after a special occasion or key date has passed. (它指的是在特殊场合或重要日期过去后,人们采取行动实现目标的倾向)”可知,fresh start effect指的是在特殊场合或重要日期过去后,人们采取行动实现目标的倾向。故答案为It refers to the human tendency to take action towards achieving a goal after a special occasion or key date has passed.
【41题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第三段“The reason is simple. When we see our past self as separate from our current self, we feel it easier to introduce new goals and take action. (原因很简单。当我们看到过去的自我与现在的自我分离时,我们觉得引入新目标并采取行动更容易)”可知,设置预期更容易引入新目标,更加容易采取动行。故新开始的预期是新开始效应的关键动力的原因是:设置预期更容易引入新目标,更加容易采取动行。故答案为Because it is easier to introduce new goals and take action.

【答案】Dear Jim,
I am excited to tell you about the “Chinese Traditional Culture Experience” course that our school has recently introduced. The main purpose of this course is to help students better understand and appreciate the rich heritage of Chinese culture. The course covers a wide range of topics, including calligraphy, traditional Chinese painting, tea ceremony, and even martial arts. We also have hands-on activities where we get to practice these arts ourselves.
Through this course, I have gained a deeper appreciation for the beauty and depth of Chinese culture. It has made me realize how important it is to preserve and pass on these traditions to future generations. I feel more connected to my cultural roots and more proud of my heritage.
I hope you find this interesting and perhaps you can share with me some aspects of British culture that you are proud of.
Yours,
Li Hua
