One of my earliest memories was walking up to the smell of camp smoke and my mother’s hot chocolate. My parents were poor, and we lived in the countryside in Portland. Dad had two jobs and Mom was disabled, but that didn’t stop them from heading into the Cascade Mountains several times a year.
Our clothes were old and worn and our food was usually cheap and simple. However, we were always satisfied with our hot chocolate, which was made in a traditional way handed down from my grandmother to my mother.
There was no store to buy anything we needed. We just had powdered cocoa in our camp.
Mom would set the smoke-blackened coffee pot at the side of the fire and slowly warm the milk, adding chocolate and sugar, and stirring (搅拌) until the contents became thick and rich brown. The wonderful smell of chocolate filled the camp. More than once, I could remember people that we had just met hours before stepping into our camp to enjoy mother’s creation.
Once we were trapped in our tent (帐篷) for days because of a terrible rainstorm. Every morning I was woken up by the attractive smell of Mom’s hot chocolate.
Now, many years have passed, when we head for the mountains, I still use that worn coffee pot. And we always bring extra cups for the neighbours who will certainly turn up.
I have told my family a lot about Mom, and it seems that nothing brings back those warm memories better than sitting around the fire at night and tasting sweet hot chocolate.
39. Which of the following can NOT describe the author’s mom?
A. Kind. B. Friendly. C. Disabled. D. Serious.
40. What can we learn about the author from the passage?

C. My Neighbours D. Grandmother’s Creation
【答案】39. D 40. A 41. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章回忆了母亲的热巧克力,承载贫困却温暖的童年露营时光。
【39题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Dad had two jobs and Mom was disabled, but that didn’t stop them from heading into the Cascade Mountains several times a year. (父亲做着两份工作,母亲身有残疾,但这些都没能阻止他们每年数次前往Cascade山脉。)”第四段“More than once, I could remember people that we had just met hours before stepping into our camp to enjoy mother’s creation. (我不止一次地记得,那些我们才认识几个小时的人就会走进我们的营地,来享用母亲的杰作。)”可知,文中描述母亲身体残疾,热情友善好客, 关爱家庭,并未提及严肃这一特质。故选D。
【40题详解】

主旨大意题。根据第一段“One of my earliest memories was walking up to the smell of camp smoke and my mother’s hot chocolate. (我最早的记忆之一,就是循着营火的炊烟和母亲热巧克力的香气一路走去。)”及最后一段“I have told my family a lot about Mom, and it seems that nothing brings back those warm memories better than sitting around the fire at night and tasting sweet hot chocolate. (我常向家人讲述母亲的故事,而没有什么比夜晚围坐在篝火旁、品尝香甜的热巧克力更能唤起那些温暖的回忆了。)”可知,全文围绕母亲的热巧克力展开,承载家庭回忆与温情。选项B“Mom’s Hot Chocolate (妈妈的热巧克力)”与全文核心最契合,适合作标题。故选B。

First impressions are important, but are first impressions correct? Personally, I’m not so sure, and according to new research, neither is science.
You really shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, but I certainly have, and I’m willing to bet (打赌) you’ve done it, too. Consider this, though: If I’d let my opinion on, say, the boring cover of John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath stop me from reading this great novel, I would have missed out on one of my favorite books to date. First impressions are important because they can influence you one way or another, but they shouldn’t be the be-all and end-all of your opinion on someone.
According to Jonathan Freeman, a professor at New York University, first impressions are collected within only a few hundred milliseconds and are often based on the person’s facial appearance.
“First impressions of faces can influence how we make decisions about people,” Freeman explained in a statement. Therefore, in order to put an end to such first impressions, you have to understand where your first assumptions (假设) come from. In order to do this, a team of researchers in Switzerland performed two experiments: The first required participants to judge the personalities of dozens of people only based on photos they were shown online. For example, in this part of the study, researchers took note of how participants related personality features like friendliness with various appearances. The second experiment explored what kind of facial features were connected with exact personality features. For example, someone who has a round face with “babyish features” might be considered as friendlier or more harmless than someone who isn’t smiley in their photo.
The results showed that first impressions often aren’t all right. Look, it’s really unfortunate that first impressions aren’t always right. Still, these first impressions happen regardless of whether or not they’re right, so the best thing you can do is try to put your best foot forward without, of course, giving up your authenticity (真实性); you are exactly who you were meant to be, and all you can do is be the best person you can.
42. What does the author want to show by mentioning John Steinbeck’s novel?
A. First impressions are influential.
B. The cover of a book is unnecessary.
C. We shouldn’t judge a book by its cover.
D. Few people tend to make judgments at first-sight.
43. What can we learn from Jonathan Freeman?
A. First impressions are difficult to change.
B. How a person looks influences his first impression.
C. It takes some time to form the first impression.
D. First impressions are influenced by many factors.
44. What were the participants asked to do in the first experiment?
A. Choose photos they like.
B. Relate personalities with photos.
C. Show their opinions of smiley faces.
D. Talk about their impressions of other participants.
45. Which of the following is a finding of the research?
A. People find it hard to make a good impression.
B. Faces show personality features correctly.
C. First impressions are not always reliable.
D. One’s facial appearance is really important.
【答案】42. C 43. B 44. B 45. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章论述了第一印象虽重要但不一定正确,介绍了相关研究及实验,指出人们不应仅凭第一印象评判他人。
【42题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“You really shouldn’t judge a book by its cover(你真的不应该以貌取人)”和“If I’d let my opinion on, say, the boring cover of John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath stop me from reading this great novel, I would have missed out on one of my favorite books to date. (如果我因为觉得约翰·斯坦贝克的《愤怒的葡萄》封面无聊而不读这本伟大的小说,我就会错过迄今为止我最喜欢的书之一)”可知,作者以这本书为例,说明不能因为封面(第一印象)而错过一本好书,也就是我们不应该以貌取人。故选C项。
【43题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“According to Jonathan Freeman, a professor at New York University, first impressions are collected within only a few hundred milliseconds and are often based on the person’s facial appearance. (据纽约大学教授乔纳森·弗里曼称,第一印象仅在几百毫秒内就形成了,而且通常基于人的面部外貌)”可知,一个人的外貌会影响他给人的第一印象。故选B项。
【44题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“The first required participants to judge the personalities of dozens of people only based on photos they were shown online. For example, in this part of the study, researchers took note of how participants related personality features like friendliness with various appearances. (第一个实验要求参与者仅根据他们在网上看到的照片来判断几十个人的性格。例如,在研究的这一部分,研究人员记录了参与者如何将友好等性格特征与不同的外貌联系起来)”可知,在第一个实验中,参与者被要求将性格与照片联系起来。故选B项。
【45题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“The results showed that first impressions often aren’t all right. (结果表明,第一印象往往并不完全正确)”可知,研究发现第一印象并不总是可靠的。故选C项。

阅读表达
Walter was always sitting in the same chair when I came to visit. He would look up and smile when he saw me and pat the chair next to him for me to sit down. He loved to tell me about his lost golden years when he was an excellent baseball player. I was a good listener. After a couple of hours of talking, I would shake his hands and say goodbye to him. I hoped that I brought a little sunshine into Walter's life.
I met Walter when I was a high school student participating in a volunteer program with elderly people in a nursing home. It was the first of many such activities, ranging from playing with disabled children to sitting with cancer patients in a hospital. These activities seemed to satisfy my desire to be useful and to feel a meaningful connection to the lives of others.
My parents inculcated me with a belief that there was no greater human value than kindness, and encouraged me to make helping others and contributing to society important goals in life. Volunteer work provided a way of attempting to realize the truth of these messages.
I learned that volunteerism is not a one-way act of helping someone less fortunate. Involvement in the life of another person has enriched my life as well. Seeing how people deal with the challenges of their lives has taught me valuable lessons in courage and dignity. Many of the people whom I have met as a volunteer are an unforgettable part of my life. Perhaps I received far more than I ever gave.
This is why volunteerism works — each of us has so much need for human connection and so much to give to others.
46. What did the author do every time he visited Walter? (no more than 10 words)
___________________________________________________________________________
47. What was the first activity the author got involved in as a volunteer? (no more than 10 words)

48. What is the meaning of the underlined word in Paragraph 3? (1 word)
___________________________________________________________________________
49. What is the main idea of Paragraph 4? (no more than 10 words)
___________________________________________________________________________
50. If you are to be a volunteer, what will you do? What can you benefit from the volunteer work? (no more than 20 words)
____________________________________________________________________________
【答案】46. He listened to Walter talking about his lost golden years.
Or: He acted as Walter’s listener.
47. Visiting elderly/old people in a nursing home.
Or: He visited elderly/old people in a nursing home.
Or: A volunteer program with elderly people in a nursing home.
48. Taught/Instructed/Educated.
49. The author learned that volunteerism is not a one-way act.
Or: The author learned that volunteerism is a two-way act.
Or: The author has benefited a lot from volunteerism/his volunteer work.
50. I will look after elderly people in a nursing home. I can learn a lot from their past experience(s).
Or: I will help disabled children. It can satisfy my desire to be useful.
Or: I will sit with cancer patients. I can learn to deal with the challenges of life.
Or: I will be a volunteer to protect the environment. We can live in a better and cleaner world.
Or: I will be a volunteer in an important event. It can broaden my horizons.
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章通过作者去养老院看望老人Walter,回顾了自己参加志愿活动的原因;作者认为志愿活动满足了他想成为有用的人和感受到与他人生活有意义的联系的愿望,并且从志愿活动中,他得到的比付出的要多。
【46题详解】
细节理解题。由第一段的句子“He loved to tell me about his lost golden years when he was an excellent baseball player. I was a good listener.”可知,Walter喜欢告诉我他失去的黄金岁月,那时他是一个优秀的棒球运动员,我是个很好的倾听者,说明作者每次拜访Walter,作者倾听Walter讲他失去的黄金岁月,或充当Walter的倾听者。故答案为He listened to Walter talking about his lost golden years./ He acted as Walter’s listener.
【47题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段的句子“I met Walter when I was a high school student participating in a volunteer program with elderly people in a nursing home. It was the first of many such activities,”(我在高中时认识沃尔特,当时我正在一家养老院参加一个老年人志愿者项目,这是许多此类活动中的第一次)可知,作者第一次做志愿者是拜访养老院的老人。故答案为Visiting elderly/old people in a nursing home./ He visited elderly/old people in a nursing home./ A volunteer program with elderly people in a nursing home.
【48题详解】
词义猜测题。由第三段的句子“My parents inculcated me with a belief that there was no greater human value than kindness, and encouraged me to make helping others and contributing to society important goals in life.”可知,我父母教育我一个信念,即没有比仁慈更重要的人类价值,并鼓励我把帮助他人和为社会作出贡献作为人生的重要目标;结合句意,inculcate意为“教育、谆谆教诲”。故答案为Taught/Instructed/Educated.
【49题详解】
主旨大意题。第四段主要讲了,作者认为志愿服务不是帮助不幸的人的单向行为,而是双向行为,参与别人的生活也丰富了他的生活,看到人们如何应对生活中的挑战,作者从勇气和尊严中得到了宝贵的教训,作为志愿者,作者得到的比付出的要多。故答案为The author learned that volunteerism is not a one-way act./The author learned that volunteerism is a two-way act./The author has benefited a lot from volunteerism/his volunteer work.
【50题详解】
开放性试题。本题为开放性试题,考生结合自己对志愿活动的认识和看法,言之有理即可。故答案为I will look after elderly people in a nursing home. I can learn a lot from their past experience(s)./I will help disabled children. It can satisfy my desire to be useful./I will sit with cancer patients. I can learn to deal with the challenges of life./I will be a volunteer to protect the environment. We can live in a better and cleaner world./I will be a volunteer in an important event. It can broaden my horizons.
【点睛】词义猜测是应用英语的重要能力,也是高考中必考的题型。它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文,而且要有较大的泛读量,掌握或认识较多的课外词汇。做这种类型的技巧之一:要根据词、词组、句子所在的语境上下文来判断其意义,上下文语境就是判断该词或短语意义的主要依据。命题者在出这类题时惯用常规词义来麻痹考生,我们要特别注意熟词生义,切不可脱离语境主观臆断。如在第3小题中,inculcate的意义要结合此单词的语境方可得出,由句子“My parents inculcated me with a belief that there was no greater human value than kindness, and encouraged me to make helping others and contributing to society important goals in life.”可知,结合句意,inculcate意为“教育、谆谆教诲”。故答案为Taught/Instructed/Educated.

The Students’ Union
【答案】Boys and girls,
With the development of society and economy, the number of private cars is increasing at a surprising speed. However, this rapid growth has also led to a series of environmental issues, such as air pollution and resource depletion. Therefore, it is imperative for us to adopt a green lifestyle.
There are numerous ways to achieve this. Firstly, we can make use of reusable items instead of disposable ones to reduce waste. Additionally, we should consider alternative modes of transportation such as cycling or walking, which not only reduce carbon emissions but also promote physical health. Lastly, conserving natural resources like water and electricity is crucial in our daily lives.
I strongly urge everyone to actively participate in our upcoming environmental protection activity themed “Let’s go green now”. Thank you for your attention.

Four great places to go in the UK
Centre for Alternative Technology
It began as a community looking for ways of life without fossil fuels (化石燃料). The group included gardeners and engineers and its early experiments looked at wind and solar power. Two years later, a visitor centre was opened to make more people know this community’s lifestyle. Today its renewable tech and gardens attract many visitors.
Wildwood Trust
It is a great place for all ages where you can see amazing wildlife native to Britain. It holds an amazing collection of over 200 British animals. With a huge adventure playground for kids, it is good for families. Wildwood Trust offers half-price tickets to those who arrive by public transport.
St Nicks
It’s surprising that the city centre is just a mile away when you walk through the grassy paths there. The place, now alive with birdsong and wild flowers, was once York’s rubbish tip (垃圾场). Now many apple trees grow there. And there’s a popular mini-Stonehenge in the middle, which is made of stones once thrown there.
Findhorn Foundation
The Findhorn Foundation has been trying to be a living model for the future since the 1960s. This is an eco-village with an arts centre and publishers; there are also films and plays on offer in the Universal Hall. Being in the Findhorn Foundation reminds you that powerful and positive visions for the future can be realized.
36. What is the aim of the Centre for Alternative Technology most probably?

B. It often organizes environmental activities.
C. It encourages trips to the place by public transport.
D It increases the public’s knowledge of foreign animals.

A. It has many kinds of fruit trees.
B. Some people enjoy collecting stones there.
C. Some animals suffer from human waste there.
D. It has turned from a dirty place into a beautiful attraction.
B
One of my earliest memories was walking up to the smell of camp smoke and my mother’s hot chocolate. My parents were poor, and we lived in the countryside in Portland. Dad had two jobs and Mom was disabled, but that didn’t stop them from heading into the Cascade Mountains several times a year.
Our clothes were old and worn and our food was usually cheap and simple. However, we were always satisfied with our hot chocolate, which was made in a traditional way handed down from my grandmother to my mother.
There was no store to buy anything we needed. We just had powdered cocoa in our camp.
Mom would set the smoke-blackened coffee pot at the side of the fire and slowly warm the milk, adding chocolate and sugar, and stirring (搅拌) until the contents became thick and rich brown. The wonderful smell of chocolate filled the camp. More than once, I could remember people that we had just met hours before stepping into our camp to enjoy mother’s creation.
Once we were trapped in our tent (帐篷) for days because of a terrible rainstorm. Every morning I was woken up by the attractive smell of Mom’s hot chocolate.
Now, many years have passed, when we head for the mountains, I still use that worn coffee pot. And we always bring extra cups for the neighbours who will certainly turn up.
I have told my family a lot about Mom, and it seems that nothing brings back those warm memories better than sitting around the fire at night and tasting sweet hot chocolate.
39 Which of the following can NOT describe the author’s mom?
A. Kind. B. Friendly. C. Disabled. D. Serious.
40. What can we learn about the author from the passage?
A. Her parents were poor. B. Her mom had two jobs.
C. Her mom was a boss of Coffee House. D. Her dad stopped them from camping.
41. What could be the best title for the passage?
A. Camp Smoke B. Mom’s Hot Chocolate
C. My Neighbours D. Grandmother’s Creation
C
First impressions are important, but are first impressions correct? Personally, I’m not so sure, and according to new research, neither is science.
You really shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, but I certainly have, and I’m willing to bet (打赌) you’ve done it, too. Consider this, though: If I’d let my opinion on, say, the boring cover of John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath stop me from reading this great novel, I would have missed out on one of my favorite books to date. First impressions are important because they can influence you one way or another, but they shouldn’t be the be-all and end-all of your opinion on someone.
According to Jonathan Freeman, a professor at New York University, first impressions are collected within only a few hundred milliseconds and are often based on the person’s facial appearance.
“First impressions of faces can influence how we make decisions about people,” Freeman explained in a statement. Therefore, in order to put an end to such first impressions, you have to understand where your first assumptions (假设) come from. In order to do this, a team of researchers in Switzerland performed two experiments: The first required participants to judge the personalities of dozens of people only based on photos they were shown online. For example, in this part of the study, researchers took note of how participants related personality features like friendliness with various appearances. The second experiment explored what kind of facial features were connected with exact personality features. For example, someone who has a round face with “babyish features” might be considered as friendlier or more harmless than someone who isn’t smiley in their photo.
The results showed that first impressions often aren’t all right. Look, it’s really unfortunate that first impressions aren’t always right. Still, these first impressions happen regardless of whether or not they’re right, so the best thing you can do is try to put your best foot forward without, of course, giving up your authenticity (真实性); you are exactly who you were meant to be, and all you can do is be the best person you can.
42. What does the author want to show by mentioning John Steinbeck’s novel?
A. First impressions are influential.
B. The cover of a book is unnecessary.
C. We shouldn’t judge a book by its cover.
D. Few people tend to make judgments at first-sight.
43. What can we learn from Jonathan Freeman?
A. First impressions are difficult to change.
B. How a person looks influences his first impression.
C. It takes some time to form the first impression.
D. First impressions are influenced by many factors.
44. What were the participants asked to do in the first experiment?
A. Choose photos they like.
B. Relate personalities with photos.
C. Show their opinions of smiley faces.
D. Talk about their impressions of other participants.
45. Which of the following is a finding of the research?
A. People find it hard to make a good impression.
B. Faces show personality features correctly.
C. First impressions are not always reliable.
D. One’s facial appearance is really important.

I learned that volunteerism is not a one-way act of helping someone less fortunate. Involvement in the life of another person has enriched my life as well. Seeing how people deal with the challenges of their lives has taught me valuable lessons in courage and dignity. Many of the people whom I have met as a volunteer are an unforgettable part of my life. Perhaps I received far more than I ever gave.
This is why volunteerism works — each of us has so much need for human connection and so much to give to others.
