My wife and I were celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary (纪念日) that year. To our delight, it was a splendid event, lovingly hosted by our sons just for us. Our dear, old friends gave us a wonderful surprise with their thoughtful gifts and heartfelt congratulations. Our gift to each other was a driving trip out west. We drove from Ontario into Alberta, then southward into Glacier National Park in Montana, and continued to Yellowstone National Park. It was a cold spring day, and the Beartooth Highway had opened for the season just days before. Alongside the road, there was still a great amount of snow there. The scenery was so impressive that we made lots of stops to record memories with my camera. At the highest point of the highway, I stopped at a lookout to catch the amazing views, with my wife in the centre of my camera lens. There were not many cars on the road. Sometimes, cars with energetic young tourists passed by. And then we heard a motorcycle in the distance. The driver of the motorcycle, who wore dirty clothes, parked behind our cars. Approaching us, he spoke only a simple command, “Give me your camera and get over there with your wife.” I must admit I felt nervous that we might be robbed where we just created some beautiful memories. Surprisingly, he just took a picture of us, handed back my camera and rode off before we could offer our thanks. Unexpectedly, the photo he took is now one of the most valuable and prized of our trip. In that unexpected encounter, I absorbed a lesson in the most unlikely of places. We should never judge a man by his appearance. To the motorcyclist who may one day read this story and remember us: we wish to extend our deepest appreciation and a heartfelt “Thank you” for the kindness you showed us that day. 41. What do we know about the trip? A. It was a gift for their wedding anniversary. B. It was a suggestion from their friends. C. It was in the late autumn five years ago. D. It was taken by train to the west. 42. What caused the couple to frequently pause on their trip along Beartooth Highway? A. Road signs. B. Impressive scenery. C. Car problems. D. Complex roadblocks. 43. Why was the author nervous when the motorcycle driver offered to take a picture? A. He could have lost the camera. B. The motorcycle driver would borrow the camera. C. His wife might not be satisfied with the view there. D. The motorcycle driver might not be good at the taking pictures. 44. Which of the following best describes the driver of the motorcycle? A. Rich and generous. B. Kind and straightforward. C. Creative and capable. D. Careful and admirable. 45. Which of the following can be concluded from the passage? A. No pains, no gains. B. Seeing is believing. C. Don’t judge a book by its cover. D. The longest journey begins with the first step. C Art is everywhere. Any public space has been carefully designed by an artistic mind to be both functional and beautiful. Why, then, is art still so widely considered to be "the easy subject" at school, insignificant to wider society, a waste of time and effort? Art can connect culture with commercial products in a way that not many other things can; art generates money and holds significant emotional and cultural value within communities. When people attend a concert, they are paying for music, sure, maybe even hotel rooms, meals, and transport, but they also gain an incredible experience, a unique atmosphere and a memory that will go through the rest of their lives. People don't just want material things anymore, they want to experience life一the arts are a perfect crossover（交迭）between culture and commerce. Furthermore, the arts can bring communities together, reducing loneliness and making people feel safer. Social bonds are created among individuals when they share their arts experiences through reflection and discussion, and their expression of common values through artworks in honour of events significant to a nation's experience. The arts clearly have a pretty positive impact on physical and psychological health. It is found that people who frequent cultural places or participate in artistic events are more likely to gain good health compared to those who do not; more engagement with the arts is linked to a higher level of people's wellbeing. The Royal Society of Public Health discovered that music and art, when used in hospitals, help to improve the conditions of patients by reducing stress, anxiety and blood pressure. Children who are involved with the arts make greater achievements in their education: those engaged with drama have greater literary ability while others taking part in musical practice exhibit greater skills in math and languages. Kids with preference for the arts have a greater chance of finding employment in the future. Participating in the arts is essential for child development; encouraging children to express themselves in constructive ways could help to form healthy emotional responses in later life. Vital to human life, art is celebrated and used by nations across the world for various purposes. Life without art would be boring and dead still, for art is a part of what makes us human. 46. Art products differ from most other commercial products because . A. most people purchase them for collection B. they are more expensive and less accessible C. they have both commercial and cultural values D. their prices may climb up as time passes 47. By sharing their arts experiences, community members can . A. keep the community safe from illnesses B. develop a stronger tie between them C. learn to appreciate their own works of art D. offer honourable solutions to their problems 48. What can we learn about people who are involved in artistic activities? A. They enjoy better living conditions. B. They like to compare themselves with others. C. They are particularly good at both music and art. D. They tend to be healthier physically and mentally. 49. How does kids' engagement with the arts benefit them? A. It promotes their academic performance and emotional growth. B. It gives them more confidence in exhibiting their learning skills. C. It inspires their creativity in designing their future career. D. It helps to make responsible people out of them. 50. What is the best title for this passage? A. How Art Cures Our Hearts B. Art: A Blessing to Humankind C. How Art Benefits Communities D. Art: A Bridge Between Cultures 第Ⅱ卷 注意事项： 1.用黑色墨水的钢笔或签字笔将答案写在答题卡上。 2.本卷共6小题，共35分。 第四部分：写作 第一节：阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读短文, 按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Many people, some even at a very young age, set the goal of graduating from college. One American woman in Texas waited a long time for her chance to reach that goal. The woman is 84-year-old Janet Fein. Last week she received her bachelor’s degree from the University of Texas at Dallas. Fein has had a full life. She has raised five children and then had a career as a secretary until she retired at age 77. But even then, she was not ready to take it easy and rest during a well-earned retirement. “I didn’t have anything to do in retirement and I didn’t think that playing bingo was up to my speed, ”Fein said. She said she decided to major in sociology. Fein spent her childhood in the Bronx, New York City, where her family lived in poverty. After graduating early from high school, she started working as a secretary at a dress manufacturer at the age of 16. Following her marriage, she spent 18 years raising her children at home. Throughout her life, Fein held various jobs, including 20 years as a secretary in a Dallas hospital, which she retired from in 2012. She also devoted 20 years to earning an associate degree, which she received in 1995. Fein, despite her life experiences, had a strong desire to earn a bachelor’s degree. She found joy in reading, writing papers, and learning new things. Taking advantage of a state program, she joined around 2, 000 others aged 65 and older in Texas who attend public university classes for free. Although less than 1% of U. S. college students are in this age group, health experts believe continuing education later in life can help maintain fitness. Despite worsening health conditions, Fein persevered, using a walker and oxygen, and even completing the remaining degree requirements through online classes. Her college advisor was Sheila Rollerson. She said that Fein never showed signs of giving up even with all of her difficulties. “She was plugging away at her studies and in return she received her bachelor’s degree and respect, ” Rollerson said. Renee Brown, one of Fein’s caregivers, found inspiration from her. At 53, Brown plans to begin nursing school, encouraged by Fein’s words of confidence and the fulfillment that comes with achievement. 51. Why did Fein want to study after retiring?

My wife and I were celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary (纪念日) that year. To our delight, it was a splendid event, lovingly hosted by our sons just for us. Our dear, old friends gave us a wonderful surprise with their thoughtful gifts and heartfelt congratulations. Our gift to each other was a driving trip out west. We drove from Ontario into Alberta, then southward into Glacier National Park in Montana, and continued to Yellowstone National Park. It was a cold spring day, and the Beartooth Highway had opened for the season just days before. Alongside the road, there was still a great amount of snow there. The scenery was so impressive that we made lots of stops to record memories with my camera. At the highest point of the highway, I stopped at a lookout to catch the amazing views, with my wife in the centre of my camera lens. There were not many cars on the road. Sometimes, cars with energetic young tourists passed by. And then we heard a motorcycle in the distance. The driver of the motorcycle, who wore dirty clothes, parked behind our cars. Approaching us, he spoke only a simple command, “Give me your camera and get over there with your wife.” I must admit I felt nervous that we might be robbed where we just created some beautiful memories. Surprisingly, he just took a picture of us, handed back my camera and rode off before we could offer our thanks. Unexpectedly, the photo he took is now one of the most valuable and prized of our trip. In that unexpected encounter, I absorbed a lesson in the most unlikely of places. We should never judge a man by his appearance. To the motorcyclist who may one day read this story and remember us: we wish to extend our deepest appreciation and a heartfelt “Thank you” for the kindness you showed us that day. 41. What do we know about the trip? A. It was a gift for their wedding anniversary. B. It was a suggestion from their friends. C. It was in the late autumn five years ago. D. It was taken by train to the west. 42. What caused the couple to frequently pause on their trip along Beartooth Highway? A. Road signs. B. Impressive scenery. C. Car problems. D. Complex roadblocks. 43. Why was the author nervous when the motorcycle driver offered to take a picture? A. He could have lost the camera. B. The motorcycle driver would borrow the camera. C. His wife might not be satisfied with the view there. D. The motorcycle driver might not be good at the taking pictures. 44. Which of the following best describes the driver of the motorcycle? A. Rich and generous. B. Kind and straightforward. C. Creative and capable. D. Careful and admirable. 45. Which of the following can be concluded from the passage? A. No pains, no gains. B. Seeing is believing. C. Don’t judge a book by its cover. D. The longest journey begins with the first step. 【答案】41. A 42. B 43. A 44. B 45. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述为了庆祝结婚四十周年，作者和妻子进行了一场旅行，在途中遇到一位骑摩托的人，他原本是想帮他们拍照，但是他耿直的态度和脏乱的外表让作者误以为他要抢劫，作者写这篇文章为了感谢他并且告诉我们不能以貌取人。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“My wife and I were celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary that year.(那年，我和妻子正在庆祝结婚40周年)”及“Our gift to each other was a driving trip out west.(我们送给彼此的礼物是开车去西部旅行)”可知，这次旅行是他们结婚纪念日的礼物。故选A项。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The scenery was so impressive that we made lots of stops to record memories with my camera.(这里的景色给人留下了深刻的印象，我们停了很多站，用我的相机记录下了回忆)”可知，令人印象深刻的风景使这对夫妇在沿着熊牙高速公路的旅行中经常停下来。故选B项。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“I must admit I felt nervous that we might be robbed where we just created some beautiful memories.(我必须承认，我很紧张，因为我们可能会在创造美好回忆的地方被抢劫)”可知，作者担心这个骑摩托的人可能会抢走他们刚拍了美好照片的相机。故选A项。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Approaching us, he spoke only a simple command, “Give me your camera and get over there with your wife.” I must admit I felt nervous that we might be robbed where we just created some beautiful memories.

We should never judge a man by his appearance.(在那次意外的相遇中，我在最不可能的地方吸取了教训。我们决不应该以貌取人)”可知，作者因为骑摩托的人脏乱的外表和直接的态度怀疑他是抢劫者，可事实证明他只是好心想要帮助他们拍照，作者通过这件事告诉我们不能以貌取人。故选C项。 C Art is everywhere. Any public space has been carefully designed by an artistic mind to be both functional and beautiful. Why, then, is art still so widely considered to be "the easy subject" at school, insignificant to wider society, a waste of time and effort? Art can connect culture with commercial products in a way that not many other things can; art generates money and holds significant emotional and cultural value within communities. When people attend a concert, they are paying for music, sure, maybe even hotel rooms, meals, and transport, but they also gain an incredible experience, a unique atmosphere and a memory that will go through the rest of their lives. People don't just want material things anymore, they want to experience life一the arts are a perfect crossover（交迭）between culture and commerce. Furthermore, the arts can bring communities together, reducing loneliness and making people feel safer. Social bonds are created among individuals when they share their arts experiences through reflection and discussion, and their expression of common values through artworks in honour of events significant to a nation's experience. The arts clearly have a pretty positive impact on physical and psychological health. It is found that people who frequent cultural places or participate in artistic events are more likely to gain good health compared to those who do not; more engagement with the arts is linked to a higher level of people's wellbeing. The Royal Society of Public Health discovered that music and art, when used in hospitals, help to improve the conditions of patients by reducing stress, anxiety and blood pressure. Children who are involved with the arts make greater achievements in their education: those engaged with drama have greater literary ability while others taking part in musical practice exhibit greater skills in math and languages. Kids with preference for the arts have a greater chance of finding employment in the future. Participating in the arts is essential for child development; encouraging children to express themselves in constructive ways could help to form healthy emotional responses in later life. Vital to human life, art is celebrated and used by nations across the world for various purposes. Life without art would be boring and dead still, for art is a part of what makes us human. 46. Art products differ from most other commercial products because . A. most people purchase them for collection B. they are more expensive and less accessible C. they have both commercial and cultural values D. their prices may climb up as time passes 47. By sharing their arts experiences, community members can . A. keep the community safe from illnesses B. develop a stronger tie between them C. learn to appreciate their own works of art D. offer honourable solutions to their problems 48. What can we learn about people who are involved in artistic activities? A. They enjoy better living conditions. B. They like to compare themselves with others. C. They are particularly good at both music and art. D. They tend to be healthier physically and mentally. 49. How does kids' engagement with the arts benefit them? A. It promotes their academic performance and emotional growth. B. It gives them more confidence in exhibiting their learning skills. C. It inspires their creativity in designing their future career. D. It helps to make responsible people out of them. 50. What is the best title for this passage? A. How Art Cures Our Hearts B. Art: A Blessing to Humankind C. How Art Benefits Communities D. Art: A Bridge Between Cultures 【答案】46. C 47. B 48. D 49. A 50. B 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。讲述了艺术这一活动对人类的重要意义，是我们不可或缺的社会生活之一。从赋予商品的商业价值，人类的身心健康和青少年的学术和情感发展等方面论述了艺术的重要意义。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Any public space has been carefully designed by an artistic mind to be both functional and beautiful.”（任何公共空间都是由艺术家精心设计的，既实用又美观。）以及“Art can connect culture with commercial products in a way that not many other things can”（艺术可以将文化与商业产品联系起来，这是其他很多东西都做不到的。）可以看出，可见艺术参与的作品兼具文化价值和商业价值。故选择C。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Social bonds are created among individuals when they share their arts experiences through reflection and discussion,, and their expression of common values through artworks in honor of events significant to a nation's experience.”（当个人通过反思和讨论分享他们的艺术经验，并通过艺术作品表达共同的价值观，以纪念对一个国家的经验有重要意义的事件时，社会纽带就在他们之间建立起来。），可见通过分享经历，可以建立一种特殊的联系和纽带。故选择B。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“It is found that people who frequent cultural places or participate in artistic events are more likely to gain good health compared to those who do not”（研究发现，经常出入文化场所或参加艺术活动的人比不经常出入文化场所或参加艺术活动的人更容易获得健康;），可见参加艺术活动的人们在身心上都相对更加健康。故选择D。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Children who are involved with the arts make greater achievements in their education”（参与艺术的孩子在他们的教育中取得更大的成就）以及“encouraging children to express themselves in constructive ways could help to form healthy emotional responses in later life.”（有助于在以后的生活中形成健康的情感反应。）可见艺术活动促进了孩子们的学业表现和情感成长。故选择A。 【50题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Vital to human life, art is celebrated and used by nations across the world for various purposes. Life without art would be boring and dead still, for art is a part of what makes us human.”（艺术对人类的生命至关重要，世界各国为各种目的庆祝和使用艺术。没有艺术的生活将是无聊和死气沉沉的，因为艺术是我们人类的一部分。）可见艺术是人类重要的部分，文章中也详细描述了艺术对不同人群的好处。所以短文的最佳标题为“艺术:人类的福祉”。故选择B。 第Ⅱ卷 注意事项： 1.用黑色墨水的钢笔或签字笔将答案写在答题卡上。 2.本卷共6小题，共35分。 第四部分：写作 第一节：阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读短文, 按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Many people, some even at a very young age, set the goal of graduating from college. One American woman in Texas waited a long time for her chance to reach that goal. The woman is 84-year-old Janet Fein. Last week, she received her bachelor’s degree from the University of Texas at Dallas. Fein has had a full life. She has raised five children and then had a career as a secretary until she retired at age 77. But even then, she was not ready to take it easy and rest during a well-earned retirement. “I didn’t have anything to do in retirement and I didn’t think that playing bingo was up to my speed, ”Fein said. She said she decided to major in sociology. Fein spent her childhood in the Bronx, New York City, where her family lived in poverty. After graduating early from high school, she started working as a secretary at a dress manufacturer at the age of 16. Following her marriage, she spent 18 years raising her children at home. Throughout her life, Fein held various jobs, including 20 years as a secretary in a Dallas hospital, which she retired from in 2012. She also devoted 20 years to earning an associate degree, which she received in 1995. Fein, despite her life experiences, had a strong desire to earn a bachelor’s degree. She found joy in reading, writing papers, and learning new things. Taking advantage of a state program, she joined around 2, 000 others aged 65 and older in Texas who attend public university classes for free. Although less than 1% of U. S. college students are in this age group, health experts believe continuing education later in life can help maintain fitness. Despite worsening health conditions, Fein persevered, using a walker and oxygen, and even completing the remaining degree requirements through online classes. Her college advisor was Sheila Rollerson. She said that Fein never showed signs of giving up even with all of her difficulties. “She was plugging away at her studies and in return she received her bachelor’s degree and respect, ” Rollerson said. Renee Brown, one of Fein’s caregivers, found inspiration from her. At 53, Brown plans to begin nursing school, encouraged by Fein’s words of confidence and the fulfillment that comes with achievement. 51. Why did Fein want to study after retiring? (no more than 15 words) _____________________________________________________________________________ 52. What does Paragraph 5 mainly talk about? (no more than 5 words) ______________________________________________________________________________ 53. Why did Fein take online classes to finish the last part of her degree requirements? (no more than 5 words) _____________________________________________________________________________ 54. How do you understand the underlined part in Paragraph 7? (no more than 10 words) _______________________________________________________________________________ 55. What can you learn from the story? Please explain. (no more than 20 words) _____________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】51. Fein wanted intellectual engagement and to achieve her long-standing goal of earning a bachelor’s degree./ Fein wanted to keep her mind active/have a fuller life and achieve her dream of getting her degree. 52. Fein’s life experience. 53. Because of her bad health. 54. She kept working hard at her studies. 55. Fein’s story tells us that we should overcome difficulties and persist in learning, and establish the consciousness of lifelong learning. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一位84岁的老人实现了从大学毕业的人生目标的励志故事。 【51题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第四段““I didn’t have anything to do in retirement and I didn’t think that playing bingo was up to my speed, ”Fein said. She said she decided to major in sociology.(费恩说:“我退休后没什么事可做，我觉得玩宾果游戏跟不上我的速度。”她说她决定主修社会学)”可知，费恩想在退休后继续学习是因为费恩想要智力上的参与，并实现她长期以来的目标——获得学士学位。或回答费恩想让自己的思维保持活跃，过上更充实的生活，实现获得学位的梦想。故答案为Fein wanted intellectual engagement and to achieve her long-standing goal of earning a bachelor’s degree./ Fein wanted to keep her mind active/have a fuller life and achieve her dream of getting her degree. 【52题详解】 考查主旨大意。根据第五段“Fein spent her childhood in the Bronx, New York City, where her family lived in poverty. After graduating early from high school, she started working as a secretary at a dress manufacturer at the age of 16. Following her marriage, she spent 18 years raising her children at home. Throughout her life, Fein held various jobs, including 20 years as a secretary in a Dallas hospital, which she retired from in 2012. She also devoted 20 years to earning an associate degree, which she received in 1995.(费恩的童年是在纽约市布朗克斯度过的，她的家庭生活贫困。高中提前毕业后，她在16岁时开始在一家服装制造商担任秘书。婚后，她花了18年的时间在家抚养孩子。在她的一生中，费恩做过各种各样的工作，包括在达拉斯一家医院做了20年的秘书，她于2012年退休。她还花了20年时间获得了副学士学位，并于1995年获得了学位)”可知，第5段主要讲了费恩的人生经历。故答案为Fein’s life experience. 【53题详解】 考查细节理解。根据倒数第三段“Despite worsening health conditions, Fein persevered, using a walker and oxygen, and even completing the remaining degree requirements through online classes.(尽管健康状况不断恶化，费恩还是坚持了下来，使用助行器和氧气，甚至通过在线课程完成了剩余的学位要求)”可知，费恩参加网络课程来完成她学位要求的最后一部分是因为她身体不好。故答案为Because of her bad health. 【54题详解】 考查词句猜测。根据划线词上文“She said that Fein never showed signs of giving up even with all of her difficulties.(她说，费恩即使遇到种种困难，也从未表现出放弃的迹象)”以及后文“in return she received her bachelor’s degree and respect(作为回报，她获得了学士学位和尊重)”可知，费恩遇到困难也没有放弃，继续努力学习，所以她获得了学士学位和尊重。故划线词意思是“她继续努力学习”。故答案为She kept working hard at her studies. 【55题详解】 考查开放题。根据“你能从这个故事中学到什么？请解释一下”可回答“费恩的故事告诉我们，应该克服困难坚持学习的故事，树立终身学习的意识”，故答案为Fein’s story tells us that we should overcome difficulties and persist in learning, and establish the consciousness of lifelong learning. 第二节 书面表达(满分25分) 56. 假定你是某中学的高一学生李华，你校英语报正在举办主题为“My Favorite Chinese Traditional Festival”的征文活动。请你写封信告诉交换生 Tim 相关信息。 具体要点如下：1.活动介绍；2.征文要求；3.鼓励参加。 注意：1.词数100字左右；2.可以增加细节， 以使行文连贯。 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Dear Tim, I hope this letter finds you well.
