Scholarships & Grants Because Harvard is committed to affordability, our scholarships are designed to cover 100% of your demonstrated financial need. Here is our process: —Establish your parent contribution; —Factor in student employment and outside awards; —Cover the remaining needs by scholarship funds which never need to be repaid. ● Outside Awards Like many of our students, you may receive funds from sources outside Harvard, such as secondary schools, your parental employers, etc. Since the intention of these awards is that they be used for educational purposes, you must report them to Harvard and apply them toward your college expenses. We will consider your outside awards as a part of your overall financial aid funding. Student Employment If you receive financial aid from Harvard, you will likely be expected to contribute to your education through employment. Your expected term-time work expectation is often around 10 to 12 hours per week. All wages earned are paid directly to you, rather than appearing on your term bill, and can be used to help pay for your out-of-pocket personal expenses. ● Loans You are not expected to take out loans, since our aid packages are designed to cover your financial need without additional borrowing. However, you may choose to pursue loans to help cover your student or family contribution. If you are interested in a loan, we will help you find one that works for you. Types of Student Loans for Year 22-23 —Federal Direct Subsidized Stafford Loan —Federal Direct Unsubsidized Stafford Loan —Harvard Loans —Additional loan information 21．Who may be the target readers of the text? A．Parents unable to afford university fees. B．College freshmen with financial concerns. C．Students with excellent academic performance. D．Undergraduates with outside financial supports. 22．How can scholarship funds help you? A．Cover 100% of your expenses. B．Balance your earnings and awards. C．Help your parents to pay off debts. D．Bridge your financial gap in college. 23．According to the passage, which of the following may help cover your personal expenses? A．Scholarships & Grants. B．Outside Awards. C．Student Employment. D．Loans. B In 2018, when Hemesh Chadalavada was 12 years old, his grandmother forgot to turn off the gas after she made herself a cup of tea. This experience caused Hemesh to invent the “Alpha Monitor”, a device designed for dementia (痴呆) patients. He started creating this device with whatever was at home, with the help of the internet. “The first model I built was a huge box. I learnt how to make a wearable device on the internet by learning which components to use and where I could source them in Hyderabad. I started with a hardware device, after which I learnt coding online and moved to machine learning and data science, to help me perfect my device,” he adds. The Alpha Monitor has two parts, one, a wearable watch-like device, and the second, an alarm which connects to it. “You attach the device to the patient. In case the patient throws it away or doesn’t like wearing it, you can just put it in a bag and fix it in their pocket or sock or wherever you like. Once you plug in the alarm, you will be warned for every tiny change in movement. As soon as the patient gets up or wanders away, it will warn the family members with a huge alarm sound,” says Hemesh. The wearable device monitors body temperature, pulse, and detects movement, falls and more. It works using a gyroscope sensor to detect even the slightest movement and health sensors for pulse and temperature. It works without Wi-Fi or bluetooth and has a range of 1-2k m, according to Hemesh. It can also be connected to an app for children staying far away to monitor their parents’ movements. “The happiest I’ve ever been is seeing how the device actually works for patients with Alzheimer’s. It gives me incredible happiness to see the small impact I’ve managed to create in the lives of these families,” smiles the youngster. 24．What can we learn about Hemesh from the first two paragraphs? A．He received little formal education. B．He had a strong self-learning ability. C．He invented the device to stop gas leaks. D．He got support from a computer engineer. 25．How does the Alpha Monitor warn people of patients’ movements? A．By speaking into their phones. B．By producing a loud noise. C．By making an emergency call. D．By announcing the time automatically. 26．What is a feature of the Alpha Monitor? A．It can analyze patients’ health data. B．It can prevent patients from falling down. C．It can track patients’ movements remotely. D．It can make a difference to patients’ recovery. 27．Which of the following can best describe Hemesh? A．Caring and creative. B．Generous and talented. C．Determined and honest. D．Independent and brave. C “In high school, I decided to stop eating meat. I love animals. I couldn’t see them suffering.” Babulski says, who is a biologist at Monroe Community College in New York. Teenage Babulski initially lived on starches (淀粉食物) and salads. Eventually she learned to eat a more balanced vegetarian (素食者的) diet. But, Babulski remembers, her mom still wished she’d give up the madness. Mom thought she was going to straight up die. The decision by Babulski and others to go vegetarian can be threatening to those who view eating animals as typically American. Eating meat is the norm in the United States, even though medical experts have long encouraged people to eat less processed and red meat for health reasons. What is becoming clear is that a meat-heavy diet is also terrible for the planet. Shifting demand from meat to beans, whole grains, fruits, vegetables and nuts could have many benefits for the climate. A more recent April report from the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the IPCC, suggests that the world’s wealthiest individuals could greatly decrease emissions (排放) through lifestyle changes. That’s because households with incomes in the top 10 percent produce roughly 36 to 45 percent of global emissions, while households with incomes in the bottom 50 percent contribute just 13 to 15 percent. Therefore, wealthier individuals, who adopt a low-carbon lifestyle, can help establish new, more sustainable social norms. Babulski learned about the environmental impacts of meat production. She now shares her personal journey with students in her environmental science course. Many of her students come to realize the power of their individual choices. The little things they do actually do add up and make a difference. 28．Why did Babulski’s mother object to her becoming a vegetarian? A．She felt threatened. B．She was a meat lover. C．She misunderstood her. D．She was worried about her health. 29．What do most Americans think of a meat-heavy diet? A．It is a personal lifestyle. B．It can cause health problems. C．It is harmful to the environment. D．It is an essential part of their life. 30．Who plays a key role in reducing emissions according to the IPCC’s April report? A．The factories. B．The government. C．The low-income families. D．The wealthy people. 31．What is the attitude of most of Babulski’s students towards her diet? A．Neutral. B．Supportive. C．Critical. D．Uninterested. D Most of us would like to be more creative, but we assume there is little we can do about it. Psychology professor K. Anders Ericsson claims that with enough practice, any of us can become experts. However, he is quick to add that this requires a specific kind of practice that Ericsson calls “deliberate practice”, that is, pushing beyond one’s comfort zone and setting goals that are above one’s current level of performance. He says he has yet to find the limits on being successful and he doesn’t believe them to be real. Ericsson has looked primarily at artistic and athletic skills, but can these findings apply to creativity? Most experts agree that even if most people cannot hope to become creative geniuses, they can learn to become more creative through practice. Psychologists claim that there are actually two levels of creativity, which they refer to as “Big C” and “small c”. “Big C” creativity applies to breakthrough ideas, ones that may change the course of a field or even history. “Small c” creativity refers to everyday creative problem solving, like creating a new recipe or improving a process, which psychologists subdivide further into similar and different thinking. Similar thinking involves examining all the facts and arriving at a single solution. In contrast, different thinking involves coming up with many possible solutions. What most people think of as creativity generally involves different thinking and can be taught, practised and learnt. Even with practice, different thinking alone cannot make one creative, however. Scott Barry Kaufman, a cognitive psychologist, says that most creative people share one personality quality: openness to new experience. Since this quality and these processes have been identified, less creative people can try to emulate them. Normally, we tend to reproduce what we already know because creative ideas move us into unfamiliar territory involving risks and following the usual behaviors is comfortable. Moving outside of our comfort zone, engaging indeliberate practice and tolerating contradictory ideas, risk and failure are all things we can learn to do better. It is unlikely that doing so will transform any of us into creative geniuses, but it does have the potential to increase our level of creativity. 32．What does Ericsson think of the limits of success? A．Success is determined by talent. B．Success has little to do with goals. C．There exist no restrictions to success. D．Success is only possible in some fields. 33．Which of the following is an example of “small c”? A．Settling in outer space. B．Building a plastic doghouse. C．Developing robots for medical treatment. D．Explaining the theory of evolution in class. 34．What does the underlined word “emulate” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Defend. B．Limit. C．Assess. D．Copy. 35．What message does the author seem to convey in the text? A．We can learn to be more creative. B．Life is full of various challenges. C．It’s better to take deliberate practice. D．Most people can become creative geniuses. 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。 How to Develop a Good Personality There isn’t such a thing as having an objectively good personality. Everyone likes different types of people. The key is building a personality you can feel proud of and confident in. Developing your personality will take time and consistent effort. 36 Figure out what “personality” means to you. 37 These are your enduring characteristics and tendencies to think, behave and feel in certain ways. While some of your personality is defined by your genetics and your early experiences, it is possible to change it to a certain extent. Remain happy and cheerful. Try to see the joy everywhere. Laugh with others, but not at them. 38 Smiling and laughing a lot is a huge part of having a good personality. 39 A lot of people think they have a good personality until you see them in a tense situation Then they lose their cool. If you are in tense situations, try to remain relaxed and see what you can do to resolve the situation. Keep an open mind. One important part of having a good personality is willing to change your worldview. Listen to others and be willing to change your mind. Don’t pass judgment on other people just because they act differently. 40 Getting out of your comfort zone and experiencing new things can help you become more open-minded and develop new beliefs and habits. Develop modesty. You could be the most talented person in the world, but if you don’t have any modesty, you probably won’t have a good personality. Nobody likes a big head. A．Try to stay calm in tense situations B．Everyone admires someone who is enjoyable and friendly. C．Resolve problems quickly when you are in tense situations. D．Keeping an open mind will allow you to make many new friends. E．It doesn’t matter whether you are born with a good or bad personality. F．Most people define personality as the collection of mental and behavioral qualities G．You will need to form new beliefs and put them into action until they become habits. 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。 With her arms around me as my world drowned in black, my surgeon whispered to me, “Leah, thousands of women have been where you are and thought it was the end. They are still here.” Those words didn’t 41 anything to me then. I only remember I knew it was cancer. Sitting 42 alone in my room one day, I thought about my treatment. Then I saw it. Even though it had been leaning (倚靠) 43 the wall for the past three years, there it was my violin, one I had yet to learn to play. It was a 44 given to me for my birthday by a good friend. The old violin had been restrung and was waiting for me to fulfill a 45 I never had time to pursue. For me, the sound of a violin was the closest sound to 46 singing. I told myself I would finally be given the 47 to make mine sing. I began to 48 this goal in earnest as I signed up for the beginning strings class at the local community college. In a few weeks, I knew my hair would begin to 49 . Meanwhile, I would imagine the voice of the violin 50 to me to encourage me to keep 51 to make my dream come true. A few months later, as I sat in the strings section of the college orchestra, my dream became a 52 . Though I had hairless head, it didn’t 53 . Those angelic chords (和弦) were being played by me, as I was 54 by my musician friends on stage. I knew deep inside me that there was light and end to this journey. The strings of my violin allowed me to 55 the hardest times. 41．A．make B．mean C．worth D．explain 42．A．heavily B．angrily C．quietly D．secretly 43．A．towards B．against C．beyond D．off 44．A．gift B．prize C．privilege D．bonus 45．A．memory B．plan C．dream D．mission 46．A．children B．workers C．angels D．students 47．A．chance B．money C．ambition D．patience 48．A．deserve B．benefit C．achieve D．learn 49．A．fall out B．fall down C．fall apart D．fall behind 50．A．explaining B．speaking C．signalling D．bowing 51．A．competing B．recalling C．praying D．practising 52．A．reality B．fact C．challenge D．wonder 53．A．react B．matter C．collapse D．bother 54．A．surrounded B．educated C．influenced D．impressed 55．A．turn down B．take up C．put aside D．pull through 第二节　(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 For thousands of years, marbles (弹珠) have provided 56 (enjoy) to people, transcending (超越) their role as mere playthings. With a rich history and wide range of shapes, sizes, and colors, they’ve also found 57 place in the world of collectors. Early marbles, crafted by ancient Egyptians, Romans, and Native Americans, were handmade from materials like stone, wood, and clay. In contrast, modern marbles are 58 (primary) machine-made from glass, available in various colors and styles. “Clearies” are made of clear glass or colored glass that allows light 59 (pass) through, while “cat’s eyes” feature clear glass with colorful bands inside. Some marbles, made from stone or light-blocking glass, are not see-through. Marble collectors have a preference 60 seeking out different types. Some hunt for rare or antique marbles like handmade German 61 (one) from the 1800s or mid-1900s American marbles. Others gather a collection of visually 62 (attract) and fascinating marbles. Marble enthusiasts can grow their collections by engaging in the popular game of “ringer,” but only if they play under the rule of “keepsies”. In this game, thirteen small marbles known as “mibs” are arranged inside a circle. Players take turns using a larger, heavier marble 63 (call) a “shooter” to displace mibs from the circle. Points 64 (award) for every mib successfully pushed out, but in keepsies, players keep the marbles they’ve knocked out. Thus, players may either walk away with additional mibs 65 risk losing their prized possessions. 第四部分　写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节　(满分15分) 最近，你们学校组织了一次School trip，目的地是一个湿地公园。请你给在新西兰的笔友Paul写一个Email，介绍这次活动。 内容包括：1. 活动内容；2. 感想。 注意：1. 写作词数应为80词左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Paul, ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Ming 第二节　(满分25分) 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 “When I grow up, I’m going to travel on my own,” said my little daughter, Sophia, reading her favorite picture book in the sunshine. Her blue eyes sparkled as she looked at the beautiful pictures. “Well, I think you can!” I said, believing in her ambitions. Being a hard-working and reliable child, she could help do the housework skillfully. She had the potential to make her dreams come true. However, we were poor farmers, and all profit had to go back into the farm to keep it going. When Sophia was ten, a tornado (龙卷风) struck Texas, destroying our farm. We were forced to deal with everything that we faced. This disaster completely changed our lives. My husband, Steve, was disabled by the tornado. After trying and failing at several methods of earning income, finally he decided to become a baker (面包师). We purchased a small bakeshop, fully equipped, and moved it onto our farmland. In fact, our bakeshop business did very well. Regrettably, Steve did not. His disability was so severe that after several months of trying he simply could not continue. The bakeshop closed. While our family was going through difficult times, the dream and spirit of Sophia was not lost. She was doing well in school, and I smiled the day I read Sophia’s essay entitled, “Things I would like to do.” Topping the list were these words: I want to travel someday. Again I whispered, “Maybe you can someday.” A few years later, Sophia started high school and enrolled in a foreign language class in her second year. This class occasionally organized a trip abroad. One day, she came home from school, hardly able to control her excitement, and said, “Mum, our class will arrange for us to travel abroad.” “Fantastic!” I said. “You can achieve your dream!” “But it would probably cost a lot of money to go,” she said. She was right. My salary paid the bills, and nothing was left. Steve was still unable to work. Our hearts sank deeply. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Sophia’s face lit up the moment she thought of her father’s bakeshop. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Orders came flooding in. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 答案第1页，共2页 答案第1页，共2页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 期中模拟试题02 全卷满分150分。考试用时120分钟。 第一部分　听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节　(共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1．What did the man do last Saturday?

It has been said that throughout history, many ships and boats have gone missing there, never to be found again. It was first mentioned by a famous explorer in the 1400s, who said he saw a“great ball of fire”in the ocean. It was again referred to by the famous writer Shakespeare in the 1600s, in one of his books. But it didn’t become a popular story until 1918, when an American ship disappeared in the area with 300 men on board. So why have there been all these reports of missing planes and ships? Luckily, today we know the real answer. First, the area is well-known for stormy waters and bad weather. Second, many inexperienced sailors have gotten lost because of poor sailing equipment and the lack of fuel. And finally, accidents are common in the sea. So, if you are planning to take a boat ride through the area, just make sure to be safe! 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 In order to make sure Harvard is an affordable choice for your undergraduate education, you can consider financial aid packages made up of a combination of four types of funding. Scholarships & Grants Because Harvard is committed to affordability, our scholarships are designed to cover 100% of your demonstrated financial need. Here is our process: —Establish your parent contribution; —Factor in student employment and outside awards; —Cover the remaining needs by scholarship funds which never need to be repaid. ● Outside Awards Like many of our students, you may receive funds from sources outside Harvard, such as secondary schools, your parental employers, etc. Since the intention of these awards is that they be used for educational purposes, you must report them to Harvard and apply them toward your college expenses. We will consider your outside awards as a part of your overall financial aid funding. Student Employment If you receive financial aid from Harvard, you will likely be expected to contribute to your education through employment. Your expected term-time work expectation is often around 10 to 12 hours per week. All wages earned are paid directly to you, rather than appearing on your term bill, and can be used to help pay for your out-of-pocket personal expenses. ● Loans You are not expected to take out loans, since our aid packages are designed to cover your financial need without additional borrowing. However, you may choose to pursue loans to help cover your student or family contribution. If you are interested in a loan, we will help you find one that works for you. Types of Student Loans for Year 22-23 —Federal Direct Subsidized Stafford Loan —Federal Direct Unsubsidized Stafford Loan —Harvard Loans —Additional loan information 21．Who may be the target readers of the text? A．Parents unable to afford university fees. B．College freshmen with financial concerns. C．Students with excellent academic performance. D．Undergraduates with outside financial supports. 22．How can scholarship funds help you? A．Cover 100% of your expenses. B．Balance your earnings and awards. C．Help your parents to pay off debts. D．Bridge your financial gap in college. 23．According to the passage, which of the following may help cover your personal expenses? A．Scholarships & Grants. B．Outside Awards. C．Student Employment. D．Loans. 【答案】21．B 22．D 23．C 【导语】本篇为应用文。介绍哈佛大学的四种经济援助计划。 21．推理判断题。根据文章第一句话“In order to make sure Harvard is an affordable choice for your undergraduate education, you can consider financial aid packages made up of a combination of four types of funding.”（为了确保哈佛大学是你负担得起的本科教育选择，你可以考虑由四种类型的资金组合组成的经济援助计划。）故可推知，本文的目标读者是有经济困难的读本科的学生。故选B项。 22．细节理解题。从文章第一个小标题下的内容“Establish your parent contribution; Factor in student employment and outside awards; Cover the remaining needs by scholarship funds which never need to be repaid.”（确定你父母的贡献；考虑学生就业和校外奖励；用永不偿还的奖学金来支付剩余的费用。）可知，奖学金可以满足的是除开父母供款和外部资金来源之外的教育支出。故选D项。 23．推理判断题。从第三个小标题Student Employment下的最后一句“All wages earned are paid directly to you, rather than appearing on your term bill, and can be used to help pay for your out-of-pocket personal expenses.”（所有的工资都直接支付给你，而不是出现在你的定期账单上，可以用来帮助支付你的自付个人开支。）故可推知，学生就业可以帮助支付你的个人开支。故选C项。 B In 2018, when Hemesh Chadalavada was 12 years old, his grandmother forgot to turn off the gas after she made herself a cup of tea. This experience caused Hemesh to invent the “Alpha Monitor”, a device designed for dementia (痴呆) patients. He started creating this device with whatever was at home, with the help of the internet. “The first model I built was a huge box. I learnt how to make a wearable device on the internet by learning which components to use and where I could source them in Hyderabad. I started with a hardware device, after which I learnt coding online and moved to machine learning and data science, to help me perfect my device,” he adds. The Alpha Monitor has two parts, one, a wearable watch-like device, and the second, an alarm which connects to it. “You attach the device to the patient. In case the patient throws it away or doesn’t like wearing it, you can just put it in a bag and fix it in their pocket or sock or wherever you like. Once you plug in the alarm, you will be warned for every tiny change in movement. As soon as the patient gets up or wanders away, it will warn the family members with a huge alarm sound,” says Hemesh. The wearable device monitors body temperature, pulse, and detects movement, falls and more. It works using a gyroscope sensor to detect even the slightest movement and health sensors for pulse and temperature. It works without Wi-Fi or bluetooth and has a range of 1-2k m, according to Hemesh. It can also be connected to an app for children staying far away to monitor their parents’ movements. “The happiest I’ve ever been is seeing how the device actually works for patients with Alzheimer’s. It gives me incredible happiness to see the small impact I’ve managed to create in the lives of these families,” smiles the youngster. 24．What can we learn about Hemesh from the first two paragraphs? A．He received little formal education. B．He had a strong self-learning ability. C．He invented the device to stop gas leaks. D．He got support from a computer engineer. 25．How does the Alpha Monitor warn people of patients’ movements? A．By speaking into their phones. B．By producing a loud noise. C．By making an emergency call. D．By announcing the time automatically. 26．What is a feature of the Alpha Monitor? A．It can analyze patients’ health data. B．It can prevent patients from falling down. C．It can track patients’ movements remotely. D．It can make a difference to patients’ recovery. 27．Which of the following can best describe Hemesh? A．Caring and creative. B．Generous and talented. C．Determined and honest. D．Independent and brave. 【答案】24．B 25．B 26．C 27．A 【导语】本文是新闻报道。详细描述了一个12岁的少年Hemesh Chadalavada发明了一种名为“Alpha Monitor”的设备，旨在帮助痴呆患者。 24．推理判断题。根据第二段“He started creating this device with whatever was at home, with the help of the internet. “The first model I built was a huge box. I learnt how to make a wearable device on the internet by learning which components to use and where I could source them in Hyderabad. I started with a hardware device, after which I learnt coding online and moved to machine learning and data science, to help me perfect my device,” he adds.(在互联网的帮助下，他开始用家里的任何东西创造这个设备。“我做的第一个模型是一个巨大的盒子。我在互联网上学习了如何制作可穿戴设备，学习了使用哪些组件，以及在海德拉巴哪里可以找到这些组件。我从一个硬件设备开始，之后我在网上学习编程，然后转向机器学习和数据科学，以帮助我完善我的设备，”他补充道)”可知，一切都是Hemesh Chadalavada在网上自学的，所以他的自学能力很强。故选B项。 25．细节理解题。根据第三段“The Alpha Monitor has two parts, one, a wearable watch-like device, and the second, an alarm which connects to it. “You attach the device to the patient. In case the patient throws it away or doesn’t like wearing it, you can just put it in a bag and fix it in their pocket or sock or wherever you like. Once you plug in the alarm, you will be warned for every tiny change in movement. As soon as the patient gets up or wanders away, it will warn the family members with a huge alarm sound,” says Hemesh.(Alpha Monitor有两部分，一部分是类似手表的可穿戴设备，另一部分是与之相连的闹钟。他说：“你把这个装置连接到病人身上。如果病人把它扔掉或者不喜欢戴，你可以把它放在一个袋子里，然后把它固定在他们的口袋或袜子里，或者任何你喜欢的地方。一旦你插上闹钟，你的每一个微小的运动变化都会得到警告。一旦病人起身或走开，它就会发出巨大的警报声来警告家人，”Hemesh说)”可知，阿尔法监测器是通过产生巨大的噪音提醒人们注意病人的动作。故选B项。 26．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The wearable device monitors body temperature, pulse, and detects movement, falls and more. It works using a gyroscope sensor to detect even the slightest movement and health sensors for pulse and temperature. It works without Wi-Fi or bluetooth and has a range of 1-2k m, according to Hemesh. It can also be connected to an app for children staying far away to monitor their parents’ movements.(这种可穿戴设备可以监测体温、脉搏，并检测运动、跌倒等。它使用陀螺仪传感器来检测最轻微的运动，使用健康传感器来检测脉搏和温度。据Hemesh介绍，它可以在没有Wi-Fi或蓝牙的情况下工作，覆盖范围为1-2k米。它还可以连接到一个应用程序，供离家很远的孩子监控父母的活动)”可知，阿尔法监视器的特性是它可以远程跟踪病人的动作。故选C项。 27．推理判断题。根据第一段“In 2018, when Hemesh Chadalavada was 12 years old, his grandmother forgot to turn off the gas after she made herself a cup of tea. This experience caused Hemesh to invent the “Alpha Monitor”, a device designed for dementia (痴呆) patients.(2018年，当Hemesh Chadalavada 12岁时，他的祖母在给自己泡了一杯茶后忘记关煤气。这一经历促使Hemesh发明了“阿尔法监测器”，这是一种为痴呆症患者设计的设备)”可知，看到祖母忘记关煤气，促使他为痴呆症患者设计设备，说明他是有爱心的，根据第二段“He started creating this device with whatever was at home, with the help of the internet. “The first model I built was a huge box. I learnt how to make a wearable device on the internet by learning which components to use and where I could source them in Hyderabad. I started with a hardware device, after which I learnt coding online and moved to machine learning and data science, to help me perfect my device,” he adds.(在互联网的帮助下，他开始用家里的任何东西创造这个设备。“我做的第一个模型是一个巨大的盒子。我在互联网上学习了如何制作可穿戴设备，学习了使用哪些组件，以及在海德拉巴哪里可以找到这些组件。我从一个硬件设备开始，之后我在网上学习编程，然后转向机器学习和数据科学，以帮助我完善我的设备，”他补充道)”可知，一切都是Hemesh Chadalavada在网上自学并且发明的，所以他是有创造力。故选A项。 C “In high school, I decided to stop eating meat. I love animals. I couldn’t see them suffering.” Babulski says, who is a biologist at Monroe Community College in New York. Teenage Babulski initially lived on starches (淀粉食物) and salads. Eventually she learned to eat a more balanced vegetarian (素食者的) diet. But, Babulski remembers, her mom still wished she’d give up the madness. Mom thought she was going to straight up die. The decision by Babulski and others to go vegetarian can be threatening to those who view eating animals as typically American. Eating meat is the norm in the United States, even though medical experts have long encouraged people to eat less processed and red meat for health reasons. What is becoming clear is that a meat-heavy diet is also terrible for the planet. Shifting demand from meat to beans, whole grains, fruits, vegetables and nuts could have many benefits for the climate. A more recent April report from the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the IPCC, suggests that the world’s wealthiest individuals could greatly decrease emissions (排放) through lifestyle changes. That’s because households with incomes in the top 10 percent produce roughly 36 to 45 percent of global emissions, while households with incomes in the bottom 50 percent contribute just 13 to 15 percent. Therefore, wealthier individuals, who adopt a low-carbon lifestyle, can help establish new, more sustainable social norms. Babulski learned about the environmental impacts of meat production. She now shares her personal journey with students in her environmental science course. Many of her students come to realize the power of their individual choices. The little things they do actually do add up and make a difference. 28．Why did Babulski’s mother object to her becoming a vegetarian? A．She felt threatened. B．She was a meat lover. C．She misunderstood her. D．She was worried about her health. 29．What do most Americans think of a meat-heavy diet? A．It is a personal lifestyle. B．It can cause health problems. C．It is harmful to the environment. D．It is an essential part of their life. 30．Who plays a key role in reducing emissions according to the IPCC’s April report? A．The factories. B．The government. C．The low-income families. D．The wealthy people. 31．What is the attitude of most of Babulski’s students towards her diet? A．Neutral. B．Supportive. C．Critical. D．Uninterested. 【答案】28．D 29．D 30．D 31．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了Babulski成为一个素食主义者的原因和将肉食作为重要组成的饮食习惯对全球气候的影响。 28．推理判断题。由文章第一段中的“ Eventually she learned to eat a more balanced vegetarian (素食者的) diet. But, Babulski remembers, her mom still wished she’d give up the madness. Mom thought she was going to straight up die.(最后，她学会了吃更均衡的素食。但是，Babulski记得，她的妈妈仍然希望她放弃这种疯狂。妈妈以为她要死了)”可推知，妈妈反对Babulski成为素食主义者的原因是她担心女儿的健康。故选D。 29．细节理解题。由文章第二段中的“The decision by Babulski and others to go vegetarian can be threatening to those who view eating animals as typically American.(Babulski和其他人成为素食主义者的决定可能会威胁到那些认为吃动物是典型的美国人)”可知，美国人认为偏重肉食的饮食是他们生活的重要组成部分。故选D。 30．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“A more recent April report from the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the IPCC, suggests that the world’s wealthiest individuals could greatly decrease emissions through lifestyle changes.(联合国政府间气候变化专门委员会(IPCC)今年4月发布的一份最新报告显示，世界上最富有的人可以通过改变生活方式来大幅减少排放)”和“Therefore, wealthier individuals, who adopt a low-carbon lifestyle, can help establish new, more sustainable social norms.(因此，采取低碳生活方式的富人可以帮助建立新的、更可持续的社会规范)”可知，富人在减少排放方面起着重要作用。故选D。 31．推理判断题。由文章最后一段中的“Many of her students come to realize the power of their individual choices. The little things they do actually do add up and make a difference.(她的许多学生开始意识到他们个人选择的力量。他们做的小事情加起来就会产生影响)”可推知，Babulski的大部分学生对她的饮食持支持态度。故选B。 D Most of us would like to be more creative, but we assume there is little we can do about it. Psychology professor K. Anders Ericsson claims that with enough practice, any of us can become experts. However, he is quick to add that this requires a specific kind of practice that Ericsson calls “deliberate practice”, that is, pushing beyond one’s comfort zone and setting goals that are above one’s current level of performance. He says he has yet to find the limits on being successful and he doesn’t believe them to be real. Ericsson has looked primarily at artistic and athletic skills, but can these findings apply to creativity? Most experts agree that even if most people cannot hope to become creative geniuses, they can learn to become more creative through practice. Psychologists claim that there are actually two levels of creativity, which they refer to as “Big C” and “small c”. “Big C” creativity applies to breakthrough ideas, ones that may change the course of a field or even history. “Small c” creativity refers to everyday creative problem solving, like creating a new recipe or improving a process, which psychologists subdivide further into similar and different thinking. Similar thinking involves examining all the facts and arriving at a single solution. In contrast, different thinking involves coming up with many possible solutions. What most people think of as creativity generally involves different thinking and can be taught, practised and learnt. Even with practice, different thinking alone cannot make one creative, however. Scott Barry Kaufman, a cognitive psychologist, says that most creative people share one personality quality: openness to new experience. Since this quality and these processes have been identified, less creative people can try to emulate them. Normally, we tend to reproduce what we already know because creative ideas move us into unfamiliar territory involving risks and following the usual behaviors is comfortable. Moving outside of our comfort zone, engaging indeliberate practice and tolerating contradictory ideas, risk and failure are all things we can learn to do better. It is unlikely that doing so will transform any of us into creative geniuses, but it does have the potential to increase our level of creativity. 32．What does Ericsson think of the limits of success? A．Success is determined by talent. B．Success has little to do with goals. C．There exist no restrictions to success. D．Success is only possible in some fields. 33．Which of the following is an example of “small c”? A．Settling in outer space. B．Building a plastic doghouse. C．Developing robots for medical treatment. D．Explaining the theory of evolution in class. 34．What does the underlined word “emulate” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Defend. B．Limit. C．Assess. D．Copy. 35．What message does the author seem to convey in the text? A．We can learn to be more creative. B．Life is full of various challenges. C．It’s better to take deliberate practice. D．Most people can become creative geniuses. 【答案】32．C 33．B 34．D 35．A 【导语】这是一篇说明文。作者通过表述心理学教授K·安德斯·埃里克森和认知心理学家斯科特·巴里·考夫曼的说法表明，人们可以通过练习和学习提高自己的创造力水平。 32．细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“He says he has yet to find the limits on being successful and he doesn’t believe them to be real.(他说他还没有找到成功的限制，他不相信这些限制是真的。)”可知，埃里克森认为成功不存在任何限制。故选C。 33．推理判断题。根据第二段第五句“‘Small c’ creativity refers to everyday creative problem solving, like creating a new recipe or improving a process, which psychologists subdivide further into similar and different thinking.(小创造力指的是日常创造性地解决问题，比如创造一个新菜谱或改进一个过程，心理学家将其进一步细分为相似和不同的思维。)”可知，建造一个塑料狗窝是一个“small c”的例子。故选 B。 34．词义猜测题。根据第三段最后一句“Normally, we tend to reproduce what we already know because creative ideas move us into unfamiliar territory involving risks and following the usual behaviors is comfortable.(通常情况下，我们倾向于复制我们已经知道的东西，因为创造性想法会把我们带入一个充满风险的陌生领域，而遵循通常的行为是舒适的。)”可知，此处指缺乏创造力的人会尝试模仿，所以emulate意为“模仿”。故选 D。 35．推理判断题。 根据最后一段“Moving outside of our comfort zone, engaging indeliberate practice and tolerating contradictory ideas, risk and failure are all things we can learn to do better. It is unlikely that doing so will transform any of us into creative geniuses, but it does have the potential to increase our level of creativity.(走出我们的舒适区，进行不经意的练习，容忍矛盾的想法、风险和失败，这些都是我们可以学会做得更好的事情。这样做不太可能把我们中的任何一个人变成有创造力的天才，但它确实有可能提高我们的创造力水平。)”可知，作者在文章中想要表达我们可以通过学习提升创造力的观念。故选 A。 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。 How to Develop a Good Personality There isn’t such a thing as having an objectively good personality. Everyone likes different types of people. The key is building a personality you can feel proud of and confident in. Developing your personality will take time and consistent effort. 36 Figure out what “personality” means to you. 37 These are your enduring characteristics and tendencies to think, behave and feel in certain ways. While some of your personality is defined by your genetics and your early experiences, it is possible to change it to a certain extent. Remain happy and cheerful. Try to see the joy everywhere. Laugh with others, but not at them. 38 Smiling and laughing a lot is a huge part of having a good personality. 39 A lot of people think they have a good personality until you see them in a tense situation Then they lose their cool. If you are in tense situations, try to remain relaxed and see what you can do to resolve the situation. Keep an open mind. One important part of having a good personality is willing to change your worldview. Listen to others and be willing to change your mind. Don’t pass judgment on other people just because they act differently. 40 Getting out of your comfort zone and experiencing new things can help you become more open-minded and develop new beliefs and habits. Develop modesty. You could be the most talented person in the world, but if you don’t have any modesty, you probably won’t have a good personality. Nobody likes a big head. A．Try to stay calm in tense situations B．Everyone admires someone who is enjoyable and friendly. C．Resolve problems quickly when you are in tense situations. D．Keeping an open mind will allow you to make many new friends. E．It doesn’t matter whether you are born with a good or bad personality. F．Most people define personality as the collection of mental and behavioral qualities G．You will need to form new beliefs and put them into action until they become habits. 【答案】36．G 37．F 38．B 39．A 40．D 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了如何培养良好的个性。 36．根据上文“Developing your personality will take time and consistent effort.(发展你的个性需要时间和持续的努力)”可知，本句启示后文关于培养个性的方法，即内容应该是需要怎么做才能培养良好个性。G 选项“你需要形成新的信念，并付诸行动，直到他们形成习惯”符合语境，故选G。 37．根据上文“Figure out what “personality” means to you.(弄清楚“个性”对你来说意味着什么)”以及后文“These are your enduring characteristics and tendencies to think, behave and feel in certain ways. While some of your personality is defined by your genetics and your early experiences, it is possible to change it to a certain extent.(这些是你以某种方式思考、行为和感受的持久特征和倾向。虽然你的一些个性是由你的基因和早期经历决定的，但在一定程度上改变它是可能的)”可知，本句承接上文，指出为对个性的定义。故F选项“大多数人把个性定义为心理上和行为上的整合”符合语境，故选F。 38．根据本段的首句“Remain happy and cheerful.(保持乐观和开朗)”以及后文“Smiling and laughing a lot is a huge part of having a good personality.(经常微笑和大笑是良好性格的重要组成部分)”可知，本句主要指出保持乐观和开朗的好处。故B选项“个人都欣赏令人愉快和友好的人”符合语境。故选B。 39．根据本段内容“A lot of people think they have a good personality until you see them in a tense situation Then they lose their cool. If you are in tense situations, try to remain relaxed and see what you can do to resolve the situation.(很多人认为他们的性格很好，直到你看到他们在紧张的情况下，他们就失去了冷静。如果你在紧张的情况下，试着保持放松，看看你能做些什么来解决这个问题)”可知，本段内容为在紧张情况下如何解决问题。故A选项“在紧张情况下如何解决问题”符合语境。故选A。 40．根据标题“Keep an open mind.(保持开放心态)”；上文“Don’t pass judgment on other people just because they act differently.(不要因为别人的行为不同就对他们妄加评价)”以及后文“Getting out of your comfort zone and experiencing new things can help you become more open-minded and develop new beliefs and habits.(走出你的舒适区，体验新事物可以帮助你变得更加开放，培养新的信念和习惯)”可知，上文提到了不要对别人妄加评价，后文建议走出舒适区，变得更加开放，推测本句说明保持开放心态对于建立友谊的作用。故D选项“保持开放的心态让你交到新朋友”承上启下，符合语境。故选D。 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。 With her arms around me as my world drowned in black, my surgeon whispered to me, “Leah, thousands of women have been where you are and thought it was the end. They are still here.” Those words didn’t 41 anything to me then. I only remember I knew it was cancer. Sitting 42 alone in my room one day, I thought about my treatment. Then I saw it. Even though it had been leaning (倚靠) 43 the wall for the past three years, there it was my violin, one I had yet to learn to play. It was a 44 given to me for my birthday by a good friend. The old violin had been restrung and was waiting for me to fulfill a 45 I never had time to pursue. For me, the sound of a violin was the closest sound to 46 singing. I told myself I would finally be given the 47 to make mine sing. I began to 48 this goal in earnest as I signed up for the beginning strings class at the local community college. In a few weeks, I knew my hair would begin to 49 . Meanwhile, I would imagine the voice of the violin 50 to me to encourage me to keep 51 to make my dream come true. A few months later, as I sat in the strings section of the college orchestra, my dream became a 52 . Though I had hairless head, it didn’t 53 .

With a rich history and wide range of shapes, sizes, and colors, they’ve also found 57 place in the world of collectors. Early marbles, crafted by ancient Egyptians, Romans, and Native Americans, were handmade from materials like stone, wood, and clay. In contrast, modern marbles are 58 (primary) machine-made from glass, available in various colors and styles. “Clearies” are made of clear glass or colored glass that allows light 59 (pass) through, while “cat’s eyes” feature clear glass with colorful bands inside. Some marbles, made from stone or light-blocking glass, are not see-through. Marble collectors have a preference 60 seeking out different types. Some hunt for rare or antique marbles like handmade German 61 (one) from the 1800s or mid-1900s American marbles. Others gather a collection of visually 62 (attract) and fascinating marbles. Marble enthusiasts can grow their collections by engaging in the popular game of “ringer,” but only if they play under the rule of “keepsies”. In this game, thirteen small marbles known as “mibs” are arranged inside a circle. Players take turns using a larger, heavier marble 63 (call) a “shooter” to displace mibs from the circle. Points 64 (award) for every mib successfully pushed out, but in keepsies, players keep the marbles they’ve knocked out. Thus, players may either walk away with additional mibs 65 risk losing their prized possessions. 【答案】 56．enjoyment 57．a 58．primarily 59．to pass 60．for 61．ones 62．attractive 63．called 64．are awarded 65．or 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了弹珠的历史和文化意义。 56．考查名词。句意：几千年来，弹珠已经超越了单纯的玩具角色，给人们带来了乐趣。此处使用名词作宾语，需要的词义为“乐趣”，即enjoyment，它为不可数名词，故填enjoyment。 57．考查冠词。句意：凭借丰富的历史和广泛的形状，大小和颜色，它们也在收藏家的世界中找到了一席之地。place为可数名词，它是以辅音音素开头的单词，因此使用不定冠词a，故填a。 58．考查副词。句意：相比之下，现代弹珠主要是由机器用玻璃材料制成，有各种颜色和风格。使用副词作状语修饰动词，需要的词义为“主要地”，为primarily，故填primarily。 59．考查动词不定式。句意：“玻璃弹珠”是由透明玻璃或彩色玻璃制成的，可以让光线通过，而“猫眼”则是由透明玻璃制成的，里面有彩带。allow...to do意为“允许……做某事”，动词不定式作宾语补足语，故填to pass。 60．考查固定短语。句意：弹珠收藏者偏爱寻找不同的类型。固定短语“have a preference for”意为“更喜欢……”，故填for。 61．考查代词。句意：一些人寻找稀有或古董弹珠，比如19世纪手工制作的德国弹珠或20世纪中期的美国弹珠。one指的是本句中提到的marbles，因此使用复数，故填ones。 62．考查形容词。句意：其他人则收集了一系列视觉上吸引人的迷人弹珠。此处使用形容词作定语，需要的词义为“吸引人的”，即attractive，故填attractive。 63．考查过去分词。句意：玩家们轮流使用一个更大、更重的弹珠，称为“射手”，从圆圈中移出小弹珠。句子谓语动词是take，空格处需要非谓语动词，marble 和call之间为被动关系，因此使用过去分词作后置定语，故填called。 64．考查时态和语态。句意：每成功取出一个弹珠就会获得积分，但在“keepsies(玩弹珠游戏的规则)”中，玩家可以保留他们取出的弹珠。描述的比赛规则为一般事实，用一般现在时态，“points ”为复数意义并承受谓语动词award的动作，则此处应使用一般现在时的被动语态，故填are awarded。 65．考查固定搭配。句意：因此，玩家要么带着额外的弹珠离开，要么冒着失去珍贵财产的风险。固定搭配“either...or...”意为“要么……，要么……”，故填or。 第四部分　写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节　(满分15分) 最近，你们学校组织了一次School trip，目的地是一个湿地公园。请你给在新西兰的笔友Paul写一个Email，介绍这次活动。 内容包括：1. 活动内容；2. 感想。 注意：1. 写作词数应为80词左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Paul, ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Ming 【答案】Dear Paul, Our school organized a field trip to Xixi Wetland for students last weekend.

(运用了if引导条件状语从句) 第二节　(满分25分) 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 “When I grow up, I’m going to travel on my own,” said my little daughter, Sophia, reading her favorite picture book in the sunshine. Her blue eyes sparkled as she looked at the beautiful pictures. “Well, I think you can!” I said, believing in her ambitions. Being a hard-working and reliable child, she could help do the housework skillfully. She had the potential to make her dreams come true. However, we were poor farmers, and all profit had to go back into the farm to keep it going. When Sophia was ten, a tornado (龙卷风) struck Texas, destroying our farm. We were forced to deal with everything that we faced. This disaster completely changed our lives. My husband, Steve, was disabled by the tornado. After trying and failing at several methods of earning income, finally he decided to become a baker (面包师). We purchased a small bakeshop, fully equipped, and moved it onto our farmland. In fact, our bakeshop business did very well. Regrettably, Steve did not. His disability was so severe that after several months of trying he simply could not continue. The bakeshop closed. While our family was going through difficult times, the dream and spirit of Sophia was not lost. She was doing well in school, and I smiled the day I read Sophia’s essay entitled, “Things I would like to do.” Topping the list were these words: I want to travel someday. Again I whispered, “Maybe you can someday.” A few years later, Sophia started high school and enrolled in a foreign language class in her second year. This class occasionally organized a trip abroad. One day, she came home from school, hardly able to control her excitement, and said, “Mum, our class will arrange for us to travel abroad.” “Fantastic!” I said. “You can achieve your dream!” “But it would probably cost a lot of money to go,” she said. She was right. My salary paid the bills, and nothing was left. Steve was still unable to work. Our hearts sank deeply. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Sophia’s face lit up the moment she thought of her father’s bakeshop. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Orders came flooding in. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Sophia’s face lit up the moment she thought of her father’s bakeshop. Her eyes twinkled with pleasure. She told us her plan to restore bakeshop business, sustaining our family’s livelihoods and earning enough money to cover the trip. We accepted her offer without hesitation. Immediately, she prepared everything, which made us shocked from the bottom of heart. Then she turned to her father and learned how to bake. After many failed attempts, her efforts paid off. She could make a variety of baked goods, making quite a name for herself. Orders came flooding in. Many coffee shops, restaurants, and convenience stores stocked Sophia’s goods. Every day, individuals waited outside the shop for goods in a long queue. The bakeshop business was booming again. Most importantly, she could achieve her dream of travelling on her own using the money earned with her hands. She shed tears of joy. We were both proud of her and expressed our appreciation. Whatever happened, she always had a dream leading her forward. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了Sophia怀揣旅行梦想，在家庭遭遇困境后，仍不放弃，最终通过重启父亲面包店筹集资金，实现梦想的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Sophia想到了父亲的面包店，脸上顿时亮了起来。”可知，第一段可描写Sophia提出重新开张面包店以筹集旅行资金的创意，以及家人立即决定支持她的决定，共同努力重启面包店的过程，Sophia最终能制作各种烘焙食品，名声大噪。 ②由第二段首句内容“订单如潮水般涌来。”可知，第二段可描写面包店重新开业后生意很好，非常受欢迎，许多地方都有售Sophia的商品，她可以用自己赚的钱实现自己旅行的梦想，父母为她感到骄傲。 2. 续写线索：重振面包店的创意——家人共同努力——Sophia学会烘焙各种食品——订单如潮水般涌来——面包店生意再次繁荣——有钱实现自己旅行的梦想——父母为她感到骄傲 3. 词汇激活 行为类： ①恢复、使复苏：restore/revive ②实现：achieve/accomplish ③表达：express/convey 情绪类 ①高兴：pleasure/delight ②感激：appreciation/gratitude 【点睛】[高分句型1] Immediately, she prepared everything, which made us shocked from the bottom of heart.

The permutation triangle is an area between three points in the atlantic ocean that create a triangle. IT has been said that throughout history, many ships and boats have gone missing there, never to be found again. IT was first mentioned by a famous explorer in the fourteen hundreds who said he saw a great ball of fire in the ocean. IT was again referred to by the famous rider shakespeare in the sixteen hundreds in one of his works. But IT didn't become a popular story until nineteen eighty, when an american ship disappeared in the area with three hundred men on board. So why have there been all these reports of missing plains and ships? Luckily, today we know the real answer. First, the area is well known for stormy waters and the bad weather. Second, many inexperienced sailors have gotten lost because of poor sAiling equipment and the lack of fuel. And finally, accidents are common in the sea. So if you are planning to take a boat ride through the area, just make sure to be safe. There are plenty of mysteries of this planet.
