For many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner. Like a border conflict between neighbouring countries, the parent teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do?
Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it. From the parents’ point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents’ complete unreasonableness. And of course, the teens see it in exactly the same way, except oppositely. Both feel trapped.
In this article, I’ll describe three no win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no win situation is quarrels over unimportant things. Examples include the colour of the teen’s hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the child’s failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends. Second, blaming. The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third, needing to be right. It doesn’t matter what the topic is — politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg — the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an authority — someone who actually knows something —and therefore to command respect. Unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, they’ll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress.
4. Why does the author compare the parent teen war to a border conflict?
A. Both can continue for generations. B. Both are about where to draw the line.
C. Neither has any clear winner. D. Neither can be put to an end.
5. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. The teens accuse their parents of misleading them.
B. The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict.
C. The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents.
D. The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflict.
6. Why do parents and teens want to be right?
A. To give orders to the other. B. To know more than the other.
C. To gain respect from the other. D. To get the other to behave properly.
7. What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?
A. Solutions to the parent teen problems. B. Examples of the parent teen war.
C. Causes of the parent teen conflicts. D. Future of the parent teen relationship.
C
Researchers say they have translated the meaning of gestures that wild chimpanzees (黑猩猩) use to communicate. They say wild chimps communicate 19 specific messages to one another with a “vocabulary” of 66 gestures. The scientists discovered this by following and filming groups of chimps in Uganda, and examining more than 5,000 incidents of these meaningful exchanges.
Dr Catherine Hobaiter, who led the research, said that this was the only form of intentional communication to be recorded in the animal kingdom. Only humans and chimps, she said, had a system of communication where they deliberately sent a message to another group member.
“That’s what’s so amazing about chimp gestures,” she said. “They’re the only thing that looks like human language in that respect.”
Although previous research has shown that apes and monkeys can understand complex information from another animal’s call, the animals do not appear to use their voices intentionally to communicate messages. This was a significant difference between calls and gestures, Dr Hobaiter said.
Chimps will check to see if they have the attention of the animal with which they wish to communicate. In one case, a mother presents her foot to her crying baby, signaling: “Climb on me.” The youngster immediately jumps on to its mothers back and they travel off together. “The big message from this study is that there is another species (物种) out there. that is meaningful in its communication, so that’s not unique to humans,” said Dr Hobaiter.
Dr Susanne Shultz, an evolutionary biologist from the University of Manchester, said the study was praiseworthy in seeking to enrich our knowledge of the evolution of human language. But, she added, the results were “a little disappointing”.
“The vagueness of the gesture meanings suggests either that the chimps have little to communicate, or we are still missing a lot of the information contained in their gestures and actions,” she said. “Moreover, the meanings seem to not go beyond what other animal convey with non-verbal communication. So, it seems the gulf remains. ”
8. What do chimps and humans have in common according to Dr Hobaiter?
A. Memorizing specific words. B. Understanding complex information.
C. Using voices to communicate. D. Communicating messages on purpose.
9. What did Dr Shultz think of the study?
A. It was well designed but poorly conducted.
B. It was a good try but the findings were limited.
C. It was inspiring but the evidence was unreliable.
D. It was a failure but the methods deserved praise.
10. What does the underlined word “gulf” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Difference. B. Conflict. C. Balance. D. Connection.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Chimpanzee behaviour study achieved a breakthrough
B. Chimpanzees developed specific communication skills
C. Chimpanzees: the smartest species in the animal kingdom
D. Chimpanzee language: communication gestures translated
D
After years of observing human nature, I have decided that two qualities make the difference between men of great achievement and men of average performance curiosity and discontent. I have never known an outstanding man who lacked either. And I have never known an average man who had both. The two belong together.
Together, these deep human urges (驱策力) count for much more that ambition. Galileo was not merely ambitious when he dropped objects of varying weights from the Leaning Tower at Pisa and timed their fall to the ground. Like Galileo, all the great names in history were curious and asked in discontent, “Why? Why? Why?”
Fortunately, curiosity and discontent don’t have to be learned. We are born with them and need only recapture them.
“The great man,” said Mencius (孟子), “is he who does not lose his child’s heart.” Yet most of us do lose it. We stop asking questions. We stop challenging custom. We just follow the crowd. And the crowd desires restful average. It encourages us to occupy our own little corner, to avoid foolish leaps into the dark, to be satisfied.
Most of us meet new people, and new ideas, with hesitation. But once having met and liked them, we think how terrible it would have been, had we missed the chance. We will probably have to force ourselves to waken our curiosity and discontent and keep them awake.
How should you start? Modestly, so as not to become discouraged. I think of one friend who couldn’t arrange flowers to satisfy herself. She was curious about how the experts did it. How she is one of the experts, writing books on flower arrangement.
One way to begin is to answer your own excuses. You haven’t any special ability? Most people don’t; there are only a few geniuses. You haven’t any time? That’s good, because it’s always the people with no time who get things done. Harriet Stowe, mother of six, wrote parts of Uncle Tom’s Cabinwhile cooking. You’re too old? Remember that Thomas Costain was 57 when he published his first novel, and that Grandma Moses showed her first pictures when she was 78.
However you start, remember there is no better time to start than right now, for you’ll never be more alive than you are at this moment.
12. In writing Paragraph 1, the author aims to ________.
A. propose a definition
B. make a comparison
C. reach a conclusion
D. present an argument
13. What does the example of Galileo tell us?
A. Trial and error leads to the finding of truth.
B. Scientists tend to be curious and ambitious.
C. Creativity results from challenging authority.
D. Greatness comes from a lasting desire to explore.
14. What can you do to recapture curiosity and discontent?
A. Observe the unknown around you.
B. Develop a questioning mind.
C. Lead a life of adventure.
D. Follow the fashion.
15. What can we learn from Paragraphs 6 and 7?
A. Gaining success helps you become an expert.
B. The genius tends to get things done creatively.
C. Lack of talent and time is no reason for taking no action.
D. You should remain modest when approaching perfection.
16. What could be the best title or the passage?
A. Curious Minds Never Feel Contented
B. Reflections on Human Nature
C. The Keys to Achievement
D. Never Too Late to Learn

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。
Some people describe American society as a salad bowl while others think of it as a melting pot. In a bowl of salad, all the ingredients are mixed together.____17____ Together, however, the ingredients make up a unity. All the ingredients of a salad contribute to the finished product. They may be covered with the same dressing (调味酱), but the green vegetables, tomatoes and cooked corn can all be seen for what they are.
From this point of view, America is very much like a salad bowl where individual ethnic groups mix together, yet maintain their cultural uniqueness. People may work together during the day at similar jobs and in the same companies, but at night they may return to their ethnic groups where their own individual culture directs their way of life.____18____ Each ethnic group has its own special customs, language, food and traditions to protect and defend. This idea of the salad bowl is referred to as cultural diversity; that is, American society is a collection of various cultures living together in harmony within one country.
____19____ Here, society is like one large pot of soup. All cultural aspects are mixed together, sacrificing their original identity and keeping a bit of what they were to become a new reality. The longer the soup is cooked, the better the taste and the more likely it will be for the mixture to dissolve. In this sense, America can surely be seen as a melting pot where people from all over the world come to live and work together forming one nation. There are dozens of shared symbols. ____20____ In such a culture, symbols like the flag and the nation’s official song serve to break down the walls which separate ethnic groups.
Whether a salad bowl or a melting pot, America can be best described as a mixture of both.____21____
A. Both are correct depending on one’s point of view.
B. They never lose their shapes, colours or tastes.
C. This is why there is so much diversity within America.
D. In other words, America is a nation where there is unity in diversity.
E. Thus, one needs to abandon one’s culture to be considered “American”.
F. They serve to develop the various ethnic groups to create a new American culture.
G. The other theory, which is also used to describe American society, is the melting pot.

第四部分 任务型阅读(共两节,满分20分)
阅读下面的短文,请根据各部分要求作答。
My friend Jack had a birthday party recently and I wanted to make him something special to show how much our friendship meant to me. I pulled out the craft box and spread everything out on the table: markers, paints, seashells, and construction paper. I stared and stared but couldn’t think of what to make.
Just them, my cat Charlie leaped on a pile of paper. The paper, and Charlie, slid across the table. I thought, “It looks like Charlie’s skateboarding (滑板) . Skateboard! That’s it.”
I ran to my room and found an old photo of Jack and me with our first skateboards.
I worked all afternoon on the coolest picture frame (相框) ever. It was shaped and colored just like the skateboard Jack had in the photo.
I spoke to myself as I applied the final coat of paint. “I bet this will be Jack’s favorite present!”
When I arrived at the party, I set my gift behind all the others so Jack would open it last. The whole time we were playing games, I kept glancing over at it. Then Jack’s grandmother brought out the cake. Jack blew out the candles. Finally, it was time to open presents. Jack opened a book, a paint set, and a baseball cap. The next-to-last thing was a long heavy box.
“I got two of the same things for my birthday,” Justin told Jack. “So I’m giving one of them to you.”
Jack opened the box and pulled out a super-nice skateboard. “No way!” he shouted. “This is exactly the one I’ ve been wanting. Let’s go outside and try it!”
“Um, Jack,” I said, “aren’t you going to open my gift?”
“Oh, of course!” He ripped (撕开) open the present, not even spotting the funny cartoons I’d drawn on the wrapping paper. “Hey, I remember this photo. Thanks, Arizona!” He put down the picture frame, grabbed the new skateboard, and called, “Come on, everyone! We can all take turns!” Everyone ran outside — everyone except me.

For many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner. Like a border conflict between neighbouring countries, the parent teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do?
Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it. From the parents’ point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents’ complete unreasonableness. And of course, the teens see it in exactly the same way, except oppositely. Both feel trapped.
In this article, I’ll describe three no win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no win situation is quarrels over unimportant things. Examples include the colour of the teen’s hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the child’s failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends. Second, blaming. The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third, needing to be right. It doesn’t matter what the topic is — politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg — the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an authority — someone who actually knows something —and therefore to command respect. Unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, they’ll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress.
4. Why does the author compare the parent teen war to a border conflict?
A. Both can continue for generations. B. Both are about where to draw the line.
C. Neither has any clear winner. D. Neither can be put to an end.
5. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. The teens accuse their parents of misleading them.
B. The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict.
C. The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents.
D. The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflict.
6. Why do parents and teens want to be right?
A. To give orders to the other. B. To know more than the other.
C. To gain respect from the other. D. To get the other to behave properly.
7. What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?
A. Solutions to the parent teen problems. B. Examples of the parent teen war.
C. Causes of the parent teen conflicts. D. Future of the parent teen relationship.
【答案】4. B 5. B 6. C 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了父母与青少年之间的矛盾冲突及常见的三种情况。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“Like a border conflict between neighbouring countries, the parent teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do?(就像邻国之间的边境冲突一样,父母与青少年之间的战争是关于界限的:在我能控制的事情和你所做的事情之间的界限在哪里呢?)”可推知,作者把父母与青少年之间的战争比作边境冲突是因为两者都关乎界限在哪里,也就是在哪里划线的问题。故选B。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段的“From the parents’ point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents’ complete unreasonableness. (从父母的角度来看,他们争吵的唯一原因是他们的青少年完全不讲道理)”以及“Both feel trapped.(双方都觉得陷入了困境)”可知,双方陷入了困境的原因是父母认为是青少年的原因导致冲突,而青少年则认为是父母的原因导致冲突,所以划线部分意思是 “青少年指责他们的父母引发了冲突”。故选B。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“Third, needing to be right. It doesn’t matter what the topic is — politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg — the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an authority — someone who actually knows something —and therefore to command respect.(第三,需要证明自己是对的。无论话题是什么——政治、物理定律,还是打鸡蛋的正确方法——这些争论的重点是证明你是对的,而对方是错的,因为双方都希望被视为权威——一个真正懂点东西的人——从而赢得尊重)”可知,父母和青少年都想证明自己是对的是为了赢得对方的尊重。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“In this article, I’ll describe three no win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap.(在这篇文章中,我将描述三种通常出现在青少年和父母之间的两败俱伤的情况,然后提出一些摆脱困境的方法)”以及后面描述了三种情况可知,接下来作者很可能会讨论解决父母与青少年问题的方法。故选A。
C
Researchers say they have translated the meaning of gestures that wild chimpanzees (黑猩猩) use to communicate. They say wild chimps communicate 19 specific messages to one another with a “vocabulary” of 66 gestures. The scientists discovered this by following and filming groups of chimps in Uganda, and examining more than 5,000 incidents of these meaningful exchanges.
Dr Catherine Hobaiter, who led the research, said that this was the only form of intentional communication to be recorded in the animal kingdom. Only humans and chimps, she said, had a system of communication where they deliberately sent a message to another group member.
“That’s what’s so amazing about chimp gestures,” she said. “They’re the only thing that looks like human language in that respect.”
Although previous research has shown that apes and monkeys can understand complex information from another animal’s call, the animals do not appear to use their voices intentionally to communicate messages. This was a significant difference between calls and gestures, Dr Hobaiter said.
Chimps will check to see if they have the attention of the animal with which they wish to communicate. In one case, a mother presents her foot to her crying baby, signaling: “Climb on me.” The youngster immediately jumps on to its mothers back and they travel off together. “The big message from this study is that there is another species (物种) out there. that is meaningful in its communication, so that’s not unique to humans,” said Dr Hobaiter.
Dr Susanne Shultz, an evolutionary biologist from the University of Manchester, said the study was praiseworthy in seeking to enrich our knowledge of the evolution of human language. But, she added, the results were “a little disappointing”.
“The vagueness of the gesture meanings suggests either that the chimps have little to communicate, or we are still missing a lot of the information contained in their gestures and actions,” she said. “Moreover, the meanings seem to not go beyond what other animal convey with non-verbal communication. So, it seems the gulf remains. ”
8. What do chimps and humans have in common according to Dr Hobaiter?
A. Memorizing specific words. B. Understanding complex information.
C. Using voices to communicate. D. Communicating messages on purpose.
9. What did Dr Shultz think of the study?
A. It was well designed but poorly conducted.
B. It was a good try but the findings were limited.
C. It was inspiring but the evidence was unreliable.
D. It was a failure but the methods deserved praise.
10. What does the underlined word “gulf” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Difference. B. Conflict. C. Balance. D. Connection.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Chimpanzee behaviour study achieved a breakthrough
B. Chimpanzees developed specific communication skills
C. Chimpanzees: the smartest species in the animal kingdom
D. Chimpanzee language: communication gestures translated
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家们通过跟踪和拍摄乌干达的黑猩猩群,翻译出了黑猩猩用来交流的手势含义。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Only humans and chimps, she said, had a system of communication where they deliberately sent a message to another group member.(她说,只有人类和黑猩猩有一个交流系统,它们故意向其他成员发送信息)”可知,根据Dr Hobaiter,黑猩猩和人类的共同点在于故意传递信息。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段中的“Dr Susanne Shultz, an evolutionary biologist from the University of Manchester, said the study was praiseworthy in seeking to enrich our knowledge of the evolution of human language. But, she added, the results were a little disappointing.(曼彻斯特大学的进化生物学家苏珊娜·舒尔茨博士说,这项研究是值得称赞的,它试图丰富我们对人类语言进化的知识。但是,她补充说,结果有点令人失望)”可知,这项研究是一个好的尝试,但是发现的结果是有限的。故选B。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。首先根据第三段中的“They’re the only thing that looks like human language in that respect.(在这方面,它们是唯一看起来像人类语言的东西)”可知,黑猩猩的手势交流很像我们人类语言的交流方式。但是根据最后一段中的“Moreover, the meanings seem to not go beyond what other animals convey with non-verbal communications.(此外,这些含义似乎并不超越其他动物通过非语言交流所传达的信息)”可知,黑猩猩手势的交流方式还是和我们语言的交流方式存在不同的,也就是“So, it seems the gulf remains.(所以,看来差异依然存在)”。由此可知,划线词gulf与difference意思接近。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段的“Researchers say they have translated the meaning of gestures that wild chimpanzees use to communicate.(研究人员表示,他们已经翻译出了野生黑猩猩用来交流的手势的含义)”以及文章对这方面的讨论可知,文章主要讲科学家们对黑猩猩手势的研究及一些成果。由此可知,D项Chimpanzee language: communication gestures translated(黑猩猩语言:翻译出来的交流手势)适合作本文最佳标题。故选D。
D
After years of observing human nature, I have decided that two qualities make the difference between men of great achievement and men of average performance curiosity and discontent. I have never known an outstanding man who lacked either. And I have never known an average man who had both. The two belong together.
Together, these deep human urges (驱策力) count for much more that ambition. Galileo was not merely ambitious when he dropped objects of varying weights from the Leaning Tower at Pisa and timed their fall to the ground. Like Galileo, all the great names in history were curious and asked in discontent, “Why? Why? Why?”
Fortunately, curiosity and discontent don’t have to be learned. We are born with them and need only recapture them.
“The great man,” said Mencius (孟子), “is he who does not lose his child’s heart.” Yet most of us do lose it. We stop asking questions. We stop challenging custom. We just follow the crowd. And the crowd desires restful average. It encourages us to occupy our own little corner, to avoid foolish leaps into the dark, to be satisfied.
Most of us meet new people, and new ideas, with hesitation. But once having met and liked them, we think how terrible it would have been, had we missed the chance. We will probably have to force ourselves to waken our curiosity and discontent and keep them awake.
How should you start? Modestly, so as not to become discouraged. I think of one friend who couldn’t arrange flowers to satisfy herself. She was curious about how the experts did it. How she is one of the experts, writing books on flower arrangement.
One way to begin is to answer your own excuses. You haven’t any special ability? Most people don’t; there are only a few geniuses. You haven’t any time? That’s good, because it’s always the people with no time who get things done. Harriet Stowe, mother of six, wrote parts of Uncle Tom’s Cabinwhile cooking. You’re too old? Remember that Thomas Costain was 57 when he published his first novel, and that Grandma Moses showed her first pictures when she was 78.
However you start, remember there is no better time to start than right now, for you’ll never be more alive than you are at this moment.
12. In writing Paragraph 1, the author aims to ________.
A. propose a definition
B. make a comparison
C. reach a conclusion
D. present an argument
13. What does the example of Galileo tell us?
A. Trial and error leads to the finding of truth.
B. Scientists tend to be curious and ambitious.
C. Creativity results from challenging authority.
D. Greatness comes from a lasting desire to explore.
14. What can you do to recapture curiosity and discontent?
A. Observe the unknown around you.
B. Develop a questioning mind.
C. Lead a life of adventure.
D. Follow the fashion.
15. What can we learn from Paragraphs 6 and 7?
A. Gaining success helps you become an expert.
B. The genius tends to get things done creatively.
C. Lack of talent and time is no reason for taking no action.
D. You should remain modest when approaching perfection.
16. What could be the best title or the passage?
A. Curious Minds Never Feel Contented
B. Reflections on Human Nature
C. The Keys to Achievement
D. Never Too Late to Learn
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. B 15. C 16. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇议论文。文章论述了获得成就的两个关键因素——好奇心和不满足。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段内容After years of observing human nature, I have decided that two qualities make the difference between men of great achievement and men of average performance curiosity and discontent. I have never known an outstanding man who lacked either. And I have never known an average man who had both. The two belong together.可知,作者经过多年对人性的观察,认为成就非凡的人和平庸的人的区别在于好奇心和不满足,而且两者是相辅相成的。由此推知,作者写第一段的目的是提出一个论点。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的Like Galileo, all the great names in history were curious and asked in discontent, “Why? Why? Why?”可知,像伽利略一样,历史上所有的伟人都感到好奇,并不满地问:“为什么?为什么?为什么?”由此推知,伽利略的例子告诉我们,伟大来自于持久的探索欲望。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的Like Galileo, all the great names in history were curious and asked in discontent, “Why? Why? Why?”及第四段中的“The great man,” said Mencius (孟子), “is he who does not lose his child’s heart.” Yet most of us do lose it. We stop asking questions. We stop challenging custom. We just follow the crowd.可知,历史上所有的伟人都感到好奇,并不满地问:“为什么?为什么?为什么?”孟子认为“不失去孩子的心,就是伟大的人。”然而,我们大多数人确实失去了它。我们不再问问题。我们不再挑战习俗。我们只是随大流。由此可知,你可以通过培养了一个善于提问的头脑,来重新获得好奇心和不满。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段中的How she is one of the experts, writing books on flower arrangement.及第七段中的You haven’t any special ability? Most people don’t; there are only a few geniuses. You haven’t any time? That’s good, because it’s always the people with no time who get things done.以及列举了Thomas Costain在57岁时出版了他的第一部小说,Grandma Moses在78岁时展示了她的第一批照片。由此可知,这两段想告诉我们“缺乏天赋和时间不是不采取行动的理由”。故选C。
【16题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段内容After years of observing human nature, I have decided that two qualities make the difference between men of great achievement and men of average performance curiosity and discontent. I have never known an outstanding man who lacked either. And I have never known an average man who had both. The two belong together.及下文论述可知,本文主要论述了获得成就的两个关键因素——好奇心和不满足。由此可知,C项The Keys to Achievement(成就的关键)适合做本文最佳标题。故选C。

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。
Some people describe American society as a salad bowl while others think of it as a melting pot. In a bowl of salad, all the ingredients are mixed together.____17____ Together, however, the ingredients make up a unity. All the ingredients of a salad contribute to the finished product. They may be covered with the same dressing (调味酱), but the green vegetables, tomatoes and cooked corn can all be seen for what they are.
From this point of view, America is very much like a salad bowl where individual ethnic groups mix together, yet maintain their cultural uniqueness. People may work together during the day at similar jobs and in the same companies, but at night they may return to their ethnic groups where their own individual culture directs their way of life.____18____ Each ethnic group has its own special customs, language, food and traditions to protect and defend. This idea of the salad bowl is referred to as cultural diversity; that is, American society is a collection of various cultures living together in harmony within one country.
____19____ Here, society is like one large pot of soup. All cultural aspects are mixed together, sacrificing their original identity and keeping a bit of what they were to become a new reality. The longer the soup is cooked, the better the taste and the more likely it will be for the mixture to dissolve. In this sense, America can surely be seen as a melting pot where people from all over the world come to live and work together forming one nation. There are dozens of shared symbols. ____20____ In such a culture, symbols like the flag and the nation’s official song serve to break down the walls which separate ethnic groups.
Whether a salad bowl or a melting pot, America can be best described as a mixture of both.____21____
A. Both are correct depending on one’s point of view.
B. They never lose their shapes, colours or tastes.
C. This is why there is so much diversity within America.
D. In other words, America is a nation where there is unity in diversity.
E. Thus, one needs to abandon one’s culture to be considered “American”.
F. They serve to develop the various ethnic groups to create a new American culture.
G. The other theory, which is also used to describe American society, is the melting pot.
【答案】17. B 18. C 19. G 20. F 21. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。有人说美国社会就像一碗沙拉,所有的原料都混合在一起,但各种原料却没有因此失去自己的特色,即我们能看到不同种类的文化组成了现在的美国社会。另一些人则认为它是一个大熔炉,所有的文化都被混合在一起,牺牲了它们原来的身份,保留了一些它们本来的样子,成为一个新的现实。而作者认为,美国最好被描述为两者的混合体。
【17题详解】
空后句“Together, however, the ingredients make up a unity. (然而,这些成分合在一起构成了一个整体。)”以及本段末句“They may be covered with the same dressing (调味酱), but the green vegetables, tomatoes and cooked corn can all be seen for what they are. (它们可能被覆盖着相同的调料,但绿色蔬菜、西红柿和熟玉米都可以看出它们的本质。)”主要论述虽然美国社会就像一碗沙拉,所有的原料都混合在一起,但各种原料却没有因此失去自己的特色,即我们能看到不同种类的文化组成了现在的美国社会。B项“They never lose their shapes, colours or tastes. (它们永远不会失去形状、颜色和味道。)”符合上下文语境。故选B。
【18题详解】
下文“Each ethnic group has its own special customs, language, food and traditions to protect and defend. (每个民族都有自己特殊的习俗、语言、食物和传统需要保护和捍卫。)”介绍每个民族都有自己要保护和保卫的特殊的文化、语言、食物和传统。由此可推断出,此处解释了美国多元文化存在的原因。C项“This is why there is so much diversity within America. (这就是为什么美国有如此多的多样性。)”符合上下文语境,前后为果因关系。故选C。
【19题详解】
第一段首句“Some people describe American society as a salad bowl while others think of it as a melting pot. (有些人把美国社会描述为一个沙拉碗,而另一些人则认为它是一个大熔炉。)”有两种观点:认为美国社会是沙拉碗或者大熔炉。空后句“Here, society is like one large pot of soup. (在这里,社会就像一大锅汤。)”介绍大熔炉观点。G项“The other theory, which is also used to describe American society, is the melting pot. (另一个理论,也被用来描述美国社会,是大熔炉。)”照应第二个观点,且与空后句语意一致。故选G。
【20题详解】
下文“In such a culture, symbols like the flag and the nation’s official song serve to break down the walls which separate ethnic groups. (在这样的文化中,像国旗和国家的官方歌曲这样的符号可以打破种族之间的隔阂。)”介绍共同拥有的符号有助于消除不同民族之间的隔阂,创造出一种新文化。F项“They serve to develop the various ethnic groups to create a new American culture. (他们促进了各民族的发展,创造了新的美国文化。)”符合上下文语境。故选F。
【21题详解】
该段是对全文内容的总结。前文“Whether a salad bowl or a melting pot, America can be best described as a mixture of both. (无论是一个沙拉碗还是一个大熔炉,美国最好被描述为两者的混合体。)”说明美国是一个具有多样性和统一性的国家。D项“In other words, America is a nation where there is unity in diversity. (换句话说,美国是一个多元统一的国家。)”符合语境,是对前面一句内容的另一种表述。故选D。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了游戏《黑神话:悟空》,包括其凭借独特之处获全球关注、取得的成功、面临的挑战及产生的影响。
【37题详解】
考查介词。句意:《黑神话:悟空》以其令人惊叹的视觉效果和引人入胜的叙事给全世界的游戏留下了深刻的印象。impress sb. with sth.意为“以……给某人留下深刻印象”,为固定搭配。故填with。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:该游戏以中国经典小说《西游记》为灵感,讲述了一只小猴子的故事,让玩家沉浸在丰富的文化体验中,旨在揭开传说中的孙悟空的真相。空处引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词the game,指物,且关系词在从句中作主语,应用关系代词which引导。故填which。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意同上。句中已有谓语tells,空处作非谓语动词,be meant to do sth.表示“旨在做某事”,a rich cultural experience和mean之间是被动关系,所以用过去分词形式作后置定语。故填meant。
【40题详解】
考查副词。句意:这个雄心勃勃的头衔证明了中国游戏产业的不断发展,展示了其创造具有全球竞争力的游戏的潜力。空处修饰形容词competitive,应用副词globally作状语,意为“全球地,全世界地”。故填globally。

【42题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:到目前为止,一些人已经受到鼓舞去阅读原著,以便更好地理解游戏的叙事。根据时间状语Up till now可知,句子表示动作从过去一直持续到现在,并且还有可能继续下去,应用现在完成时。主语some(指人)和inspire之间是动宾关系,所以应用被动语态,助动词用have。故填have been inspired。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意同上。此处表示一些人阅读原著的目的是更好地理解游戏中的叙事,应用动词不定式作目的状语。故填to understand。
【44题详解】
考查冠词。句意:然而,游戏的文化深度对非华语玩家来说是一个挑战,因为故事情节与经典故事交织在一起。此处泛指一个挑战,且challenge的发音以辅音音素开头,所以应用不定冠词a。故填a。
【45题详解】
考查代词。句意:些玩家发现很难理解这个故事,但这并不能阻止他们享受游戏。句中真正的宾语是后面的动词不定式,空处应用it作形式宾语,find it+adj.+to do...为固定句型,意为“发现做某事……”。故填it。
【46题详解】
考查名词。句意:该游戏的影响是显而易见的,因为它弥合了中国文化与国际社会之间的差距,激发了创造力,促进了关于中国神话和文学的对话。空处作inspiring的宾语,应用名词,creativity意为“创造力”。故填creativity。
第四部分 任务型阅读(共两节,满分20分)
阅读下面的短文,请根据各部分要求作答。
My friend Jack had a birthday party recently and I wanted to make him something special to show how much our friendship meant to me. I pulled out the craft box and spread everything out on the table: markers, paints, seashells, and construction paper. I stared and stared but couldn’t think of what to make.
Just them, my cat Charlie leaped on a pile of paper. The paper, and Charlie, slid across the table. I thought, “It looks like Charlie’s skateboarding (滑板) . Skateboard! That’s it.”
I ran to my room and found an old photo of Jack and me with our first skateboards.
I worked all afternoon on the coolest picture frame (相框) ever. It was shaped and colored just like the skateboard Jack had in the photo.
I spoke to myself as I applied the final coat of paint. “I bet this will be Jack’s favorite present!”
When I arrived at the party, I set my gift behind all the others so Jack would open it last. The whole time we were playing games, I kept glancing over at it. Then Jack’s grandmother brought out the cake. Jack blew out the candles. Finally, it was time to open presents. Jack opened a book, a paint set, and a baseball cap. The next-to-last thing was a long heavy box.
“I got two of the same things for my birthday,” Justin told Jack. “So I’m giving one of them to you.”
Jack opened the box and pulled out a super-nice skateboard. “No way!” he shouted. “This is exactly the one I’ ve been wanting. Let’s go outside and try it!”
“Um, Jack,” I said, “aren’t you going to open my gift?”
“Oh, of course!” He ripped (撕开) open the present, not even spotting the funny cartoons I’d drawn on the wrapping paper. “Hey, I remember this photo. Thanks, Arizona!” He put down the picture frame, grabbed the new skateboard, and called, “Come on, everyone! We can all take turns!” Everyone ran outside — everyone except me.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者为朋友杰克生日做礼物却被冷落。
【47题详解】
①考查动词。根据 第一段的“My friend Jack had a birthday party recently and I wanted to make him something special to show how much our friendship meant to me. (我的朋友杰克最近举办了一个生日聚会,我想给他做点特别的东西,以表明我们的友谊对我来说有多重要)”可知,Jack要举办一个生日派对,have a birthday party表示 “举办生日派对”。be going to后接动词原形。故填have。
②考查形容词。根据第一段“My friend Jack had a birthday party recently and I wanted to make him something special to show how much our friendship meant to me. (我的朋友杰克最近举办了一个生日聚会,我想给他做点特别的东西,以表明我们的友谊对我来说有多重要)”可知,作者想展示他们的友谊有多重要,即友谊有多珍贵,所以第二个空需要value的形容词valuable“珍贵的”,作表语。故填valuable。
③考查动词。根据第四段“I worked all afternoon on the coolest picture frame (相框) ever.(我整个下午都在制作有史以来最酷的相框)”可知,作者花了一下午的时间制作相框。It takes/took sb. some time to do sth.“花费某人多少时间作某事”。本句话陈述过去的事实,所以用一般过去时态。故填took。
④考查形容词。根据第五段“I bet this will be Jack’s favorite present!(我打赌这将是杰克最喜欢的礼物!)”可知,作者很自信这个礼物会是Jack最喜欢的,所以空处需要confidence的形容词confident“自信的”,在句中作表语。故填confident。
⑤考查形容词。根据第五段“I bet this will be Jack’s favorite present!(我打赌这将是杰克最喜欢的礼物!)”可知,作者很自信这个礼物会是Jack最喜欢的礼物。所以空处需要favor的形容词favourite“最喜欢的”,在句中作定语。故填favorite。
⑥考查副词。根据第六段“I set my gift behind all the others so Jack would open it last.(我把礼物放在其他所有礼物后面,这样杰克就会最后打开它)”可知,作者把礼物放在最后让Jack打开,所以空处需要副词last“最后”,作状语修饰动词。故填last。
⑦考查动词。根据第六段“The whole time we were playing games, I kept glancing over at it.(我们玩游戏的时候,我一直在看它)”可知,作者忍不住看向礼物,所以空处需要动词resist“忍住”。couldn’t resist doing sth.表示 “忍不住做某事”。故填resist。
⑧考查动词。根据第八段“This is exactly the one I’ ve been wanting.(这正是我一直想要的)”可知,Jack很喜欢这个滑板。所以空处需要动词love“喜爱”。此处为定语从句的谓语动词,本句话陈述过去时态,所以用一般过去时。故填loved。
⑨考查形容词。根据第八段“Let’s go outside and try it!(我们出去试试吧!)”可知,Jack很渴望试试新滑板,所以空处需要eagerness的形容词eager“渴望的”,在句中作表语。故填eager。
⑩考查动词。根据最后一段““Oh, of course!” He ripped (撕开) open the present, not even spotting the funny cartoons I’d drawn on the wrapping paper.(“哦,当然!”他撕开礼物,甚至没有看到我在包装纸上画的滑稽漫画)”可知,Jack没有注意到作者画的卡通画,所以空处需要动词notice“注意”。空前为介词without,所以此处需要动名词作宾语。故填noticing。
【48题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“My friend Jack had a birthday party recently and I wanted to make him something special to show how much our friendship meant to me. (我的朋友杰克最近举办了一个生日聚会,我想给他做点特别的东西,以表明我们的友谊对我来说有多重要)”可知,作者想制作一些特别的东西来展示他们的友谊有多重要。故答案为The author made a gift by hand to show how much their friendship meant to her/him.
【49题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““Oh, of course!” He ripped (撕开) open the present, not even spotting the funny cartoons I’d drawn on the wrapping paper. “Hey, I remember this photo. Thanks, Arizona!” He put down the picture frame, grabbed the new skateboard, and called, “Come on, everyone! We can all take turns!” Everyone ran outside — everyone except me.(“哦,当然!”他撕开礼物,甚至没有看到我在包装纸上画的滑稽漫画。“嘿,我记得这张照片。谢谢你,亚利桑那!”他放下相框,抓起新滑板,喊道:“来吧,大家!我们都可以轮流!”每个人都跑到外面——除了我)”可知,作者花了一下午时间精心制作礼物,对这份礼物能成为杰克最喜欢的礼物充满信心,然而杰克收到新滑板后迫不及待去尝试,对作者的礼物却没有给予足够关注,所以作者可能会感到失望或伤心。故答案为The author might feel disappointed or sad. Because he/she had spent a lot of time making a special gift for Jack with great effort and expectation, but Jack didn't seem to care much about it and was more interested in the new skateboard.
【50题详解】
开放性试题。本题为开放性试题,答案不唯一,合理即可。杰克可能会意识到自己忽略了作者的感受,所以回来找作者,为自己的疏忽道歉并表达对礼物的感激。故答案为Jack might come back to find the author, apologize to him/her for his neglect, and express his appreciation for the thoughtful handmade gift.
