Text 3 W：I think we're sitting too close to the screen.My neck is starting to hurt. M：I know.If we had got here earlier，we probably could have found seats higher up. Text 4 W：I have plenty of good ideas，but I haven't been able to organize them clearly.May I hand in the paper a few days later? M：You know that I always prefer a well-written paper even if it is late. Text 5 W：Could you come to the concert with me this weekend，or do you have to prepare for your exams? M：I still have a lot to do，making a plan...Um，but a break would probably do me good. Text 6 W：How are you doing these days? M：Not bad.I've been busy with my subjects. W：I'm glad to hear that.By the way，what's your major and what do you want to do once you graduate? M：Hotel management.And I'd like to work for a hotel or a travel agency.How about you? W：Well，when I first started college，I wanted to major in French，but I realized it would be really difficult to apply for a job.Later I majored in business.But now I change my major to computer science.It is hard to learn but it is promising. Text 7 M：What happened? You have mud all over you，and your trousers are torn.What did you do? W：I tried to learn to ride a bicycle.I hit a stone and fell onto the ground. M：Did you hurt your leg?

M：Hmm，I see.Do you think the ability to be creative is inborn or not? W：Well，no one knows yet. M：Does creativity only appear in great people? W：Certainly not.Creativity can also be found in daily tasks such as cooking or gardening. M：Oh，really？Now Dr.Nancy，can you describe to us what the actual creative process is? W：Actually，many great artists describe it as a dreamlike state during which ideas just come to them in a flash. M：What is going on in the brain during that flash? W：No one knows for sure，but researchers suggest that part of the brain becomes very active，linking up with ideas or thoughts in previous unknown ways. M：I see.Thank you very much，Dr.Nancy. Text 10 Currently，there are over 1，000 seed banks located all over the world.How does the seed bank work? First，scientists from all over the world collect endangered and useful wild species，put them in a paper or cotton bag to prevent them from getting bad, and send them to the seed bank.Once the seeds arrive，they're dried and preserved in a special room.After that，X-rays confirm that the seeds are undamaged and that no insects are hidden inside.The seeds are then frozen, stored in special containers and then placed in huge freezers at 20 ℃ for long-term storage，which allows the seeds to be preserved for decades and reawakened when required. One of the most famous seed banks，Svalbard Global Seed Vault, now holds more than one million seed samples.It is located deep in a frozen Arctic mountain in Norway. As the Earth is facing huge challenges like climate change，these seed banks are surely significant for the future of the world's food supply. 第二部分　阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、 D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival Where: Becket, Massachusetts When: Jun.15-Aug.24 Each summer, this influential dance center presents a number of classes and performances by more than 50 companies from around the world.Highlights (最精彩的部分) in this season include the Dance Theater of Harlem's production of Alvin Ailey's “The Lark Ascending”， which opens the festival.

Around this time, I also came across several cartoons heavily inspired by traditional Chinese culture and martial arts (武术) such as Avatar: The Last Airbender and Sagwa, the Chinese Siamese Cat.Both cartoons describe beautiful landscapes and buildings similar to those found in classical Chinese paintings.This further developed my interest in the rich and beautiful culture. At school I began studying Chinese.My interest in the language developed early on, combining my love of travelling with my love of meeting new people.Later on, my interest in the language developed into exploring widespread Chinese culture.I wanted to challenge myself in totally new linguistic(语言的) surroundings and listen to the lives and stories of others in their own language.I have been lucky enough to have lived in China for around three years.I loved every second I spent there and there is never a shortage of things to see and do, people to meet, and foods to enjoy. It is safe to say that my journey of studying Chinese has only just begun and these first steps are only a drop in the ocean of lifelong learning, but as the Chinese philosopher Laozi says, “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” [语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者接触、了解并学习中国文化的经历。 24．How does the author like the book Tao Te Ching?

Memories are energetic constructions of the brain that regularly get updated, adjusted and reorganized through experience.The brain is constantly remembering and forgetting information—and much of this happens automatically during sleep. Their findings not only confirmed that humans have the ability to control what they forget, but that successful intentional forgetting requires more activity than what is required to remember. “A proper level of brain activity is important to this forgetting mechanism (机制).Too strong, it will strengthen the memory; too weak, you won't change it，” said Tracy Wang, lead author of the study.“Importantly, it's the intention to forget that increases the activation of the memory, and when this activation hits the ‘sweet spot’， that's when it leads to later forgetting of that experience.” The researchers also found that participants were more likely to forget scenes than faces.“We're learning how these mechanisms in our brain respond to different types of information, and it will take a lot of further research before we understand how to use our ability to forget，” said Lewis-Peacock.“Hopefully we can find out how we process and get rid of those really strong memories, which can have a powerful effect on our health and well-being.” [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章描述了关于遗忘记忆的研究成果。 32．What remains a puzzle to researchers? A．How our memories can be strengthened. B．How our brains voluntarily forget something. C．What effect unwanted memories have on our brains. D．Whether our brains can voluntarily forget something. 答案：B 32 33 34 35 细节理解题。由第二段中的“Decades of research has shown that we have the ability to forget something out of our own free will, but how our brains do that is still being questioned.”可知，几十年的研究表明我们有能力自愿忘记某事，但是我们的大脑是如何做到这一点的仍然是一个谜团。 32 33 34 35 33．Which of the following words can best describe memories? A．Casual. B．Unpredictable. C．Active. D．Permanent. 答案：C 32 33 34 35 推理判断题。由第三段的第一句可推断出，记忆是活跃的。 32 33 34 35 34．What can we learn from the text? A．It requires less attention to forget than to remember. B．The more active the brain is, the faster it forgets. C．Humans can't keep memories under control. D．Humans forget faces less easily than scenes. 答案：D 32 33 34 35 细节理解题。由最后一段中的“The researchers also found that participants were more likely to forget scenes than faces.”可知，研究人员还发现被研究的对象更容易忘记场景而非人脸。 32 33 34 35 35．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．What It Takes to Forget an Unwanted Experience B．Strong Memories Have a Great Influence on Health C．Forgetting Uses More Brain Power than Remembering D．How to Train Our Brains to Voluntarily Forget Something 答案：C 32 33 34 35 标题归纳题。由第一段中的“Choosing to forget something might take more mental effort than trying to remember it”和最后一段中 Lewis-Peacock 所说的话可知，本文主要说明了忘记某事比记住某事更费脑。 32 33 34 35 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国传统节日——春节，包括春节前以及春节期间的习俗。 The Spring Festival The Spring Festival is regarded as the most significant festival of the year among the Chinese. 36 36 37 38 39 40 A．Commonly exchanged gifts include food, wine or tea.

Rocky and I both thought it was a super idea. Then we went home for lunch and our afternoon sleep, deciding to meet in the early evening.At around five, we met at Rocky's house and walked to the supermarket.We entered the supermarket and stationed ourselves near the entrance.We handed a badge with a smile over to the shoppers entering the supermarket.The people expressed their thanks and said “Happy Smile Day” to us too. After some time, the badges were nearly all gone.We were about to return home when Rocky noticed an old man sitting on one of the chairs placed at the side.He had a sad expression. “Do you have one more badge with you？” asked Rocky.“Yes, I do.Is there someone you want to give it to？” questioned Melissa.“I do.Pass it to me，” answered Rocky. He walked towards the old man sitting on the chair.We followed him.“Oh no, Rocky should stay away from that man.He has such a frown (皱眉) on his face，” I said.Rocky stood in front of the elderly gentleman and said, “Happy Smile Day, sir.I have a smile badge for you.” He handed the badge over to him and smiled widely. 注意：续写词数应为150个左右。 The old man looked at the badge and turned away, saying, “I have nothing to smile at.” with anger written on his face._________________ __________________________________________________________ The man smiled and invited us to sit with him._________________ __________________________________________________________ [参考范文] The old man looked at the badge and turned away, saying, “I have nothing to smile at.” with anger written on his face.“Do share your problem with us.Maybe we can help you feel better.You know, we have promised to put a smile on all sad faces today，” said Melissa.The old man looked at us, saying，“My son went to India with his family last week.It's my 75th birthday.He didn't even call me.I suppose I'm too old to expect anyone to wish me a happy birthday.” “I know why he hasn't called you.It is in the early morning in India right now.We will stay with you until your son calls，” comforted Rocky. The man smiled and invited us to sit with him.We talked about our families, schools, and friends.About twenty minutes later, the gentleman's cell phone rang.He answered the call and his face broke into the loveliest smile ever.He talked happily to his son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren.He finished the call and looked at us thankfully.“Thanks, kids, for your company and encouragement.You really understand the meaning of a smile，” he said. $$
