But for Ghaffar Pourazar, a British-American dual citizen living in California, this legendary figure has been a part of his identity for decades. Pourazar’s lifelong passion for Peking Opera began by chance. In 1993, Pourazar attended a performance at London’s Queen Elizabeth Hall and was instantly captured. He went backstage right after the show and made friends with the Chinese performers. With their help, Pourazar was enrolled at an opera school. Just three months later, he left his life in Britain behind and moved to Beijing to train in the martial roles of the art. Starting as an adult was not easy, as Peking Opera is a complex mixture of vocal performance, mime, martial arts, dance and acrobatics. In addition to the physical demands, mastering the Chinese language posed another problem. “I was constantly reciting the subtitles and songs, whether I was eating, bathing, walking, or even dreaming,” Pourazar said. Pourazar believes that great art transcends (超越) languages. Over the years, he has devoted himself to introducing Peking Opera and Sun Wukong to international audiences. He has also been teaching courses and organizing workshops in the United-States, bringing Peking Opera to curious Western learners. To better connect with Western audiences and learners, he adapted some classic plays such as The Monkey King: Uproar in Heaven into English versions and he also adapted Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream into Poking Opera. In recognition of his contributions, Pourazar received the Great Wall Friendship Award from the Beijing government in 2014. “Cultural exchange should be reciprocal (互惠的). I aim to blend my expertise in opera with my multicultural background to create enriching artistic experiences for the audiences,” said Pourazar. 4. What is the author’s intention of writing paragraph 1? A. To prove Ghaffar Pourazar’s achievement. B. To introduce a cultural influence on an individual. C. To explain the cultural significance of Sun Wukong. D. To highlight the fascination of ancient Chinese tales. 5. What do we know about Pourazar’s experience of learning Peking Opera? A. Language was a significant barrier for him. B. The performers he met backstage taught him the art. C. Queen Elizabeth made him interested in Peking Opera. D. His enthusiasm for Peking Opera started at an early age. 6. Why did Pourazar adapt Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream into Peking Opera? A. To show off his talent in adapting different plays. B. To add more complexity to traditional opera forms. C. To prove that Peking Opera is superior to other art forms. D. To make Peking Opera more accessible to Western audiences. 7. Which of the following words best describe Pourazar? A. Determined and creative. B. Passionate and reserved. C. Humorous and charming. D. Traditional and cautious. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了普拉扎尔与京剧的深厚渊源及传播贡献。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“An internationally praised cultural thing has introduced the attractive tale of Sun Wukong to audiences worldwide. But for Ghaffar Pourazar, a British-American dual citizen living in California; this legendary figure has been a part of his identity for decades. (一个备受国际赞誉的文化作品向全球观众介绍了孙悟空这一引人入胜的故事。但是，对于居住在加利福尼亚的英美双重国籍公民加法尔•普拉扎尔而言，这位传奇人物几十年来一直是他身份认同的一部分)”可知，文章先是说孙悟空这一文化形象在世界范围内的影响，接着指出对普拉扎尔来说，这个传奇人物已经成为他身份的一部分数十年了。由此可知，作者写第一段的意图是介绍一种文化对一个人的影响。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“In addition to the physical demands, mastering the Chinese language posed another problem. “I was constantly reciting the subtitles and. songs, whether I was eating, bathing, walking, or even dreaming,” Pourazar said. (除了对身体素质的要求之外，掌握中文也成了另一个难题。“不管是吃饭、洗澡、走路，甚至是做梦的时候，我都在不停地背诵台词和唱段。” 普拉扎尔说道)”可知，语言对Pourazar来说是一个很大的障碍。故选 A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段的“To better connect with Western audiences and learners, he adapted some classic plays such as The Monkey King: Uproar in Heaven into English versions and he also adapted Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream into Peking Opera. (为了更好地与西方观众和学习者建立联系，他将一些经典剧目，如《大闹天宫》改编成英文版，还把莎士比亚的《仲夏夜之梦》改编成了京剧)”可知，他进行这些改编是为了更好地与西方观众和学习者建立联系，也就是让京剧对西方观众来说更易于理解和接受。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段的“Just three months later, he left his life in Britain behind and moved to Beijing to train in the martial roles of the art. (仅仅三个月后，他就告别了英国的生活，搬到北京，去学习这门艺术中的武打角色)”以及第三段“Starting as an adult was not easy, as Peking Opera is a complex mixture of vocal performance, mime, martial arts, dance and acrobatics. In addition to the physical demands, mastering the Chinese language posed another problem. “I was constantly reciting the subtitles and songs, whether I was eating, bathing, walking, or even dreaming,” Pourazar said. (作为一个成年人开始学习京剧并非易事，因为京剧是一种集演唱、默剧表演、武术、舞蹈和杂技于一体的复杂艺术形式。除了对身体素质的要求之外，掌握中文也成了另一个难题。“不管是吃饭、洗澡、走路，甚至是做梦的时候，我都在不停地背诵台词和唱段。”普拉扎尔说道)”可知，他很有决心。根据第四段的“To better connect with Western audiences and learners, he adapted some classic plays such as The Monkey King: Uproar in Heaven into English versions and he also adapted Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream into Peking Opera. (为了更好地与西方观众和学习者建立联系，他将一些经典剧目，如《大闹天宫》改编成英文版，还把莎士比亚的《仲夏夜之梦》改编成了京剧)”可知，他改编经典剧目，体现了他的创新。所以普拉扎尔既有决心又有创新精神。故选A。 C From an airplane, cars moving slowly down the highway look like ants. But actual ants — unlike cars — somehow manage to avoid the suffering of stop-and-go traffic. Researchers are now studying these insects’ cooperative tactics (战术) to learn how to program self-driving cars that don’t jam up. The free flow of traffic becomes unstable as the number of cars increases on a highway. At 15 vehicles per mile per lane, one driver tapping their brakes (刹车) can cause a persistent wave of congestion. “It’s a kind of phase transition,” like water turning from a liquid to a solid form, says Nishinari, a physicist at the University of Tokyo. Nishinari’s previous research had shown that ants can maintain their flow even in large numbers. So what’s their secret? In a recent study, researchers recorded ants on trails and used traffic-engineering models to analyze their movement. They found that the ants don’t jam because they travel in groups of three to 20 that move at nearly constant rates while keeping good distances between one another-and they don’t speed up to pass others. Human drivers at rush hour are hard to follow such rules. “We’re maximizing the interests of individuals, which is why, at a given point, you start to have a traffic jam,” says Nicola, who studies sustainable engineering at the University of Trento in Italy. “But self-driving cars, if they one day become everywhere, could have more cooperative programming. In one vision of this future, autonomous vehicles would share information with nearby cars to make good use of traffic flow-perhaps, by prioritizing constant speeds and headways or by not passing others on the road,” Nicola suggests. Today’s drivers can learn at least one thing from ants to avoid causing a traffic jam, Nishinari says: don’t tailgate. By leaving room between their car and the one ahead of them, drivers can absorb a wave of braking in heavy traffic conditions that would otherwise be amplified (放大) into a traffic jam with no obvious cause. “Just keeping away,” he says, “can help traffic flow smoothly.” 8. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The principle of causing a jam. B. The bad effects of jams on our life. C. The difficulty of avoiding a jam. D. The suffering of being stuck in a jam. 9. What is the ants’ key to avoiding traffic jams? A. Traveling in large groups. B. Keeping steady speed and spacing. C. Following a central leader. D. Frequently walk over one another. 10. What does Nicola suggest in Paragraph 4? A. Provide more speed choices for drivers. B. Build special roads for self-driving cars. C. Set stricter rules to regulate drivers’ behaviors. D. Apply ants’ cooperative strategies to self-driving cars. 11. What does the underlined word “tailgate” mean in the last paragraph? A. Park illegally. B. Speed up suddenly. C. Drive too closely. D. Ignore traffic signals. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。主要介绍了研究人员如何通过研究蚂蚁的合作行为，来寻找解决交通拥堵问题的方法，并探讨了这些发现如何应用于未来的自动驾驶汽车编程中。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“The free flow of traffic becomes unstable as the number of cars increases on a highway. At 15 vehicles per mile per lane, one driver tapping their brakes (刹车) can cause a persistent wave of congestion. “It’s a kind of phase transition,” like water turning from a liquid to a solid form, says Nishinari, a physicist at the University of Tokyo.(随着高速公路上汽车数量的增加，交通的自由流动变得不稳定。在每条车道每英里15辆车的速度下，一个司机轻踩刹车就会造成持续的拥堵。“这是一种相变”，就像水从液体变成固体一样，东京大学的物理学家西成说)”可知，本段主要讲述了造成堵塞的原理。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“In a recent study, researchers recorded ants on trails and used traffic-engineering models to analyze their movement. They found that the ants don’t jam because they travel in groups of three to 20 that move at nearly constant rates while keeping good distances between one another-and they don’t speed up to pass others.(在最近的一项研究中，研究人员记录了小路上的蚂蚁，并使用交通工程模型来分析它们的运动。他们发现蚂蚁不会堵塞，因为它们以3到20只蚂蚁为一组，以几乎恒定的速度移动，同时彼此保持良好的距离，它们不会加速超过其他蚂蚁)”可知，蚂蚁避开交通堵塞的关键是保持稳定的速度和间距。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段““We’re maximizing the interests of individuals, which is why, at a given point, you start to have a traffic jam,” says Nicola, who studies sustainable engineering at the University of Trento in Italy. “But self-driving cars, if they one day become everywhere, could have more cooperative programming. In one vision of this future, autonomous vehicles would share information with nearby cars to make good use of traffic flow-perhaps, by prioritizing constant speeds and headways or by not passing others on the road,” Nicola suggests.(“我们是在最大化个人利益，这就是为什么在某一时刻，你会开始遭遇交通堵塞，”在意大利特伦托大学研究可持续工程的Nicola说道。“但是，如果自动驾驶汽车有一天能无处不在，它们可能会采用更具合作性的编程。在这种未来愿景中，自动驾驶车辆会与附近的车辆共享信息，以充分利用交通流量——或许是通过优先考虑保持恒定速度和车距，或者不在道路上超车，”Nicola建议道)”可知，Nicola建议将蚂蚁的合作策略应用于自动驾驶汽车。故选D项。 【11题详解】 词句猜测题。根据后文“By leaving room between their car and the one ahead of them, drivers can absorb a wave of braking in heavy traffic conditions that would otherwise be amplified (放大) into a traffic jam with no obvious cause.(通过在自己的车和前面的车之间留出空间，司机可以在交通拥挤的情况下吸收一波刹车，否则这种刹车会在没有明显原因的情况下被放大成交通堵塞)”可知，需要在自己的车和前面的车之间留出空间，是为了防止追尾，推知tailgate应是“追尾”之意，和C项意思相近。故选C项。 D Many people encourage competition and focus on success. “Giving up” is frowned upon. We are overjoyed at stories of people who persevered and succeeded. Friends and colleagues always encourage you to keep trying. “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.” “Follow your dream! Winners never quit!” Perseverance is indeed important, to a limit. However, never take it too far. For one thing, goals and dreams might be beyond reach. Stories of achieving childhood dreams through perseverance might be uplifting, but they suffer from “selection bias”. Put simply, they are not informative, because nobody tells stories about the many people who persevered but failed after wasting a good part of their lives. It is indeed frustrating if you follow an unrealistic dream. For another, every road taken means another road is not taken. An unrealistic goal means missing out on other opportunities. What if everybody with the childhood dream of becoming an astronaut persistently kept trying forever? Winners always wisely choose what to quit and what to pursue. Recent studies have shown that being able to give up some goals and dreams and redirect your energy toward more reasonable ones is important for mental well-being and leads to higher quality of life in the long term. The psychological term is “goal disengagement”. If you are currently devoting too much time and effort to an unattainable goal, here are some hints that might help. First, do not tie a goal to your identity. Nobody can be defined by a single goal or interest. Besides, disengage from a goal but keep some of the effort. It’s called “turning it into a hobby”. Few stamp and coin collectors desire to become professionals, yet many enjoy collecting. Last and most important, do not think of giving up as a failure, but as a choice. Your time is limited. Try new activities, rediscover previous interests, and revise your ambitions. Be honest with yourself about your chances, and choose the goals that best suit you. And remember that, when you give up a goal, you do not fail. You make a choice to free up your time for other possibilities. 12. What result may “selection bias” bring to people? A. Setting self-limit. B. Giving up more easily. C. Misjudging the situation. D. Ignoring successful stories. 13. How can people benefit from “goal disengagement”? A. By motivating their desire for success. B. By gaining a sense of self-satisfaction. C. By telling easy goals from difficult goals. D. By saving energy to focus on practical goals. 14. Which of the following may the author agree with? A. Accepting failure with ease does make sense. B. One can make a hobby out of an unattainable goal. C. Turn to professionals when realizing personal goals. D. Choosing a goal is more challenging than realizing it. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Identity Crisis: Be True to Yourself. B. Goals or Hobbies: Make Your Choice. C. Never Say Never: The Key to Success. D. Winners Do Quit: Be Wise About Your Goals. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了成功者会通过设定目标来实现难以实现的追求，解释了背后的心理现象以及建议。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Stories of achieving childhood dreams through perseverance might be uplifting, but they suffer from “selection bias”. Put simply, they are not informative, because nobody tells stories about the many people who persevered but failed after wasting a good part of their lives.(通过坚持不懈实现童年梦想的故事可能令人振奋，但它们受到“选择偏见”的影响。简而言之，它们不能提供信息，因为没有人讲述许多人在浪费了生命的大部分时间后坚持不懈但失败了的故事)”可知，“选择偏差”会给人们带来判断错误。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Recent studies have shown that being able to give up some goals and dreams and redirect your energy toward more reasonable ones is important for mental well-being and leads to higher quality of life in the long term. The psychological term is “goal disengagement”. If you are currently devoting too much time and effort to an unattainable goal, here are some hints that might help.(最近的研究表明，能够放弃一些目标和梦想，把你的精力转向更合理的目标，对心理健康很重要，从长远来看，这能带来更高的生活质量。心理学术语是“目标脱离”。如果你目前在一个无法实现的目标上投入了太多的时间和精力，这里有一些提示可能会有所帮助)”可知，人们通过节省精力专注于实际的目标从“目标脱离”中获益。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Besides, disengage from a goal but keep some of the effort. It’s called “turning it into a hobby”.(此外，从目标中解脱出来，但要保持一些努力。这叫做“把它变成一种爱好”。)”可知，一个人可以把不可能实现的目标变成爱好。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Many people encourage competition and focus on success. “Giving up” is frowned upon. We are overjoyed at stories of people who persevered and succeeded. Friends and colleagues always encourage you to keep trying. “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.” “Follow your dream! Winners never quit!”(许多人鼓励竞争，专注于成功。“放弃”是不被允许的。我们为那些坚持不懈并取得成功的人的故事而欣喜若狂。朋友和同事总是鼓励你继续尝试。“如果一开始你没有成功，那就努力，再努力。“追随你的梦想！”成功者永不放弃！”)”以及文章主要说明了成功者会通过设定目标来实现难以实现的追求，解释了背后的心理现象以及建议。可知，D选项“成功者会放弃：明智地设定你的目标”最符合文章标题。故选D。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满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。 Whether it’s the echo (回声) of beeping tills in a supermarket or the hissing of a coffee machine in your local café, the brain is constantly working to decode (解码) hundreds of noises each day. But for individuals like 25-year-old Sophie, these background noises can be stressful. ___16___ She says she can’t figure out where they’re coming from and can’t compute them fast enough. After a hearing test came back normal, Sophie met a private audiologist (听觉矫正专家) for further testing. She was eventually diagnosed (诊断) with auditory processing disorder (APD). ___17___ However, her audiologist believes the overuse of noise-canceling headphones, which Sophie wears for up to five hours a day, could have a part to play. Noise-canceling headphones do have advantages for long-term ear health. But some experts warn that by blocking everyday sounds, the brain may “forget” how to filter (过滤) noise. ___18___ Over-reliance on noise-canceling headphones during this period might delay the ability to process speech and noise. Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children have seen an increase in demand for assessments of children struggling to hear certain words in noisy environments. ___19___ Audiologists are calling for more research into the impact of noise-canceling headphones on teen’s auditory processing. ___20___ Mobile apps with “word in noise” training exercises are popular for helping patients distinguish speech from background noise. Additionally, microphones and low-gain hearing aids can assist in specific situations. Choosing headphones that don’t completely block the ears is also suggested. A. The cause of Sophie’s APD diagnosis is unknown. B. Treatment for APD can make a significant positive difference. C. Despite having normal hearing, she often struggles to recognize voices. D. She would leave bars and restaurants early because of the stressful noise. E. They note that the high-level listening skills don’t fully develop until late teens. F. One survey showed 61% of 18-24 year olds prefer to watch TV with subtitles on. G. Hearing a diversity of sounds helps the brain decide what is important to focus on. 【答案】16. C 17. A 18. E 19. F 20. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章以Sophie患听觉处理障碍(APD)为例，介绍了APD，分析了可能的原因，如过度使用降噪耳机，并提及了相应的治疗方法。 【16题详解】 上文“But for individuals like 25 year old Sophie, these background noises can be stressful.(但对于像25岁的索菲这样的人来说，这些背景噪音可能会带来压力)”指出Sophie会因背景噪音感到压力。C选项“Despite having normal hearing, she often struggles to recognize voices.(尽管听力正常，但她经常难以辨认声音)”进一步说明了Sophie在听觉方面的困扰，与上文提到的背景噪音带来压力相呼应，且与下文“She says she can’t figure out where they’re coming from and can’t compute them fast enough.(她说她搞不清声音从哪里来，也不能快速处理这些声音)”衔接紧密。故选C项。 【17题详解】 下文“However, her audiologist believes the overuse of noise canceling headphones, which Sophie wears for up to five hours a day, could have a part to play.(然而，她的听觉矫正专家认为，索菲每天佩戴长达五小时的降噪耳机过度使用可能起到了一定作用)”中“However”表示转折，说明前面对于Sophie患APD的原因是不确定的。A选项“The cause of Sophie’s APD diagnosis is unknown.(索菲被诊断出患有APD的原因尚不清楚)”符合上下文逻辑。故选A项。 【18题详解】 下文“Over reliance on noise canceling headphones during this period might delay the ability to process speech and noise.(在这个时期过度依赖降噪耳机可能会延迟处理语音和噪音的能力)”提到了“this period”，说明前面应该提到了一个特定的时期。E选项“They note that the high level listening skills don’t fully develop until late teens.(他们指出，高级听力技能直到青少年晚期才会完全发展)”指出了高级听力技能发展的时期，与下文的“this period”相呼应。故选E项。 【19题详解】 上文“Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children have seen an increase in demand for assessments of children struggling to hear certain words in noisy environments.(大奥蒙德街儿童医院发现，对在嘈杂环境中难以听清某些单词的儿童进行评估的需求有所增加)”说明儿童在嘈杂环境中听力有问题的情况增多。F选项“One survey showed 61% of 18-24 year olds prefer to watch TV with subtitles on.(一项调查显示，61%的18-24岁的人更喜欢看带字幕的电视)”进一步举例说明年轻人在听力方面可能存在的问题，与上文内容相关。故选F项。 【20题详解】 下文“Mobile apps with ‘word in noise’ training exercises are popular for helping patients distinguish speech from background noise. Additionally, microphones and low gain hearing aids can assist in specific situations. Choosing headphones that don’t completely block the ears is also suggested.(带有‘噪音中的单词’训练练习的移动应用程序很受欢迎，可帮助患者从背景噪音中分辨出语音。此外，麦克风和低增益助听器可以在特定情况下提供帮助。还建议选择不完全堵住耳朵的耳机)”介绍了治疗APD的方法。B选项“Treatment for APD can make a significant positive difference.(对APD的治疗可以产生显著的积极影响)”引出下文关于治疗方法的内容。故选B项。 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和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My Irish setter, Henry, had been trained to be a show dog.

Her parents were always busy at work, even in the evenings. She had to do most of the housework by herself, including taking care of their garden. However, she knew little about gardening, so their garden never seemed attractive. One quiet evening, Sarah was left at home alone again. She was sitting by the window, doing her homework. As she looked outside, she noticed a man standing under the streetlamp across the road. He was tall, wearing a dark coat, and seemed to be looking directly at her house. Sarah’s heart skipped a beat. For days, Sarah had seen the man walk around the neighborhood. He never spoke to anyone, and he always seemed to be alone. She had mentioned him to her parents, who said he was new to this town and was a gardener. However, Sarah couldn’t shake the feeling of fear. That evening, as the man lingered (逗留) under the streetlamp, Sarah decided to call Mrs. Baker, who lived just a few houses away. Mrs. Baker was a kind elderly woman who had always been like a grandmother to Sarah. “Mrs. Baker, there’s a man outside, and he’s been standing there for a while. I’m scared,” Sarah whispered into the phone. Mrs. Baker tried to calm Sarah down and said, “Don’t worry, dear. I’ll come over soon.” A few minutes later, Mrs. Baker arrived at Sarah’s door. Together, they went to the window and peered (仔细瞧) out. The man was still there, but he was holding something in his hands. Sarah’s fear grew. “What if he’s dangerous?” Sarah asked. Mrs. Baker patted Sarah’s shoulder and said, “Let’s not jump to a conclusion so quickly.” Just then, the man began walking toward Sarah’s house. Sarah’s heart pounded as he approached the front door. But instead of knocking, he bent down and placed something on the porch (门廊). Then, he turned around and walked away. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Sarah and Mrs. Baker opened the door and found a package with a note. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, Sarah decided to find the man and thank him for his seeds. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Sarah and Mrs. Baker opened the door and found a package with a note. Sarah picked it up and read the note aloud, “To the family who lives here — I notice your garden has been struggling lately. I am a gardener, and I think these seeds might help. Best wishes, a newcomer in the neighborhood.” Sarah felt a wave of guilt wash over her. She had misjudged the man completely. He wasn’t a threat; he was just a kind new neighbor trying to help. Mrs. Baker smiled, “See? Sometimes people surprise us in the best ways.” The next day, Sarah decided to find the man and thank him for his seeds. She walked around the neighborhood until she spotted him working in a garden. She approached him nervously and smiled, “Thank you so much. I’m sorry if I seemed unfriendly. I didn’t know you were trying to help.” The man responded in a low voice, “It’s alright. I’ve been trying to find ways to get to know my neighbors.” When Sarah asked her new neighbor if she could learn some gardening techniques from him, the man looked surprised but soon nodded with a smile. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了Sarah的父母忙于工作，所以Sarah需要帮他们照顾花园，但Sarah对园艺不通，所以花园打理得不怎样。一个男子多次出现在Sarah家附近，他是新来的园丁，但Sarah感到害怕。她打电话给Baker太太，两人一起观察，发现男子走向门口放下东西离开。原来男子主动送来了种子，这让Sarah非常感激。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由续写第一段首句“Sarah和Baker太太打开门，发现了一个带纸条的包裹。”可知，第一段可以描写Sarah打开包裹后发现的东西并改变了对男子的看法。 ②由续写第二段首句“第二天，Sarah决定找到那个人，并感谢他的种子。”可知，第二段可以描写Sarah向男子道谢，并为自己的不友好表示歉意。 2. 续写线索： 读纸条内容——发现男子想要送种子来帮助自己——找到男子——向男子道谢并为自己的不友好表达抱歉 3. 词汇激活： 行类 ①注意到：notice/spot ②靠近：approach/draw near ③回答：respond/reply 情绪类 ①紧张地：nervously/tensely ②惊讶：surprised/amazed 【点睛】【高分句型1】She walked around the neighborhood until she spotted him working in a garden.(使用了until引导时间状语从句、现在分词作宾补) 【高分句型2】When Sarah asked her new neighbor if she could learn some gardening techniques from him, the man looked surprised but soon nodded with a smile.

B An internationally praised cultural thing has introduced the attractive tale of Sun Wukong to audiences worldwide. But for Ghaffar Pourazar, a British-American dual citizen living in California, this legendary figure has been a part of his identity for decades. Pourazar’s lifelong passion for Peking Opera began by chance. In 1993 Pourazar attended a performance at London’s Queen Elizabeth Hall and was instantly captured. He went backstage right after the show and made friends with the Chinese performers. With their help, Pourazar was enrolled at an opera school. Just three months later, he left his life in Britain behind and moved to Beijing to train in the martial roles of the art. Starting as an adult was not easy, as Peking Opera is a complex mixture of vocal performance, mime, martial arts, dance and acrobatics. In addition to the physical demands, mastering the Chinese language posed another problem. “I was constantly reciting the subtitles and songs, whether I was eating, bathing, walking, or even dreaming,” Pourazar said. Pourazar believes that great art transcends (超越) languages. Over the years, he has devoted himself to introducing Peking Opera and Sun Wukong to international audiences. He has also been teaching courses and organizing workshops in the United-States, bringing Peking Opera to curious Western learners. To better connect with Western audiences and learners, he adapted some classic plays such as The Monkey King: Uproar in Heaven into English versions and he also adapted Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream into Poking Opera. In recognition of his contributions, Pourazar received the Great Wall Friendship Award from the Beijing government in 2014. “Cultural exchange should be reciprocal (互惠的). I aim to blend my expertise in opera with my multicultural background to create enriching artistic experiences for the audiences,” said Pourazar. 4. What is the author’s intention of writing paragraph 1? A. To prove Ghaffar Pourazar’s achievement. B. To introduce a cultural influence on an individual. C. To explain the cultural significance of Sun Wukong. D. To highlight the fascination of ancient Chinese tales. 5. What do we know about Pourazar’s experience of learning Peking Opera? A. Language was a significant barrier for him. B. The performers he met backstage taught him the art. C. Queen Elizabeth made him interested in Peking Opera. D. His enthusiasm for Peking Opera started at an early age. 6. Why did Pourazar adapt Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream into Peking Opera? A. To show off his talent in adapting different plays. B. To add more complexity to traditional opera forms. C. To prove that Peking Opera is superior to other art forms. D. To make Peking Opera more accessible to Western audiences. 7. Which of the following words best describe Pourazar? A Determined and creative. B. Passionate and reserved. C. Humorous and charming. D. Traditional and cautious. C From an airplane, cars moving slowly down the highway look like ants. But actual ants — unlike cars — somehow manage to avoid the suffering of stop-and-go traffic. Researchers are now studying these insects’ cooperative tactics (战术) to learn how to program self-driving cars that don’t jam up. The free flow of traffic becomes unstable as the number of cars increases on a highway. At 15 vehicles per mile per lane, one driver tapping their brakes (刹车) can cause a persistent wave of congestion. “It’s a kind of phase transition,” like water turning from a liquid to a solid form, says Nishinari, a physicist at the University of Tokyo. Nishinari’s previous research had shown that ants can maintain their flow even in large numbers. So what’s their secret? In a recent study, researchers recorded ants on trails and used traffic-engineering models to analyze their movement. They found that the ants don’t jam because they travel in groups of three to 20 that move at nearly constant rates while keeping good distances between one another-and they don’t speed up to pass others. Human drivers at rush hour are hard to follow such rules. “We’re maximizing the interests of individuals, which is why, at a given point, you start to have a traffic jam,” says Nicola, who studies sustainable engineering at the University of Trento in Italy. “But self-driving cars, if they one day become everywhere, could have more cooperative programming. In one vision of this future, autonomous vehicles would share information with nearby cars to make good use of traffic flow-perhaps, by prioritizing constant speeds and headways or by not passing others on the road,” Nicola suggests. Today’s drivers can learn at least one thing from ants to avoid causing a traffic jam, Nishinari says: don’t tailgate. By leaving room between their car and the one ahead of them, drivers can absorb a wave of braking in heavy traffic conditions that would otherwise be amplified (放大) into a traffic jam with no obvious cause. “Just keeping away,” he says, “can help traffic flow smoothly.” 8. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The principle of causing a jam. B. The bad effects of jams on our life. C. The difficulty of avoiding a jam. D. The suffering of being stuck in a jam. 9. What is the ants’ key to avoiding traffic jams? A. Traveling in large groups. B. Keeping steady speed and spacing. C. Following a central leader. D. Frequently walk over one another. 10. What does Nicola suggest in Paragraph 4? A. Provide more speed choices for drivers. B. Build special roads for self-driving cars. C. Set stricter rules to regulate drivers’ behaviors. D. Apply ants’ cooperative strategies to self-driving cars. 11. What does the underlined word “tailgate” mean in the last paragraph? A. Park illegally. B. Speed up suddenly. C. Drive too closely. D. Ignore traffic signals. D Many people encourage competition and focus on success. “Giving up” is frowned upon. We are overjoyed at stories of people who persevered and succeeded. Friends and colleagues always encourage you to keep trying. “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.” “Follow your dream! Winners never quit!” Perseverance is indeed important, to a limit. However, never take it too far. For one thing, goals and dreams might be beyond reach. Stories of achieving childhood dreams through perseverance might be uplifting, but they suffer from “selection bias”. Put simply, they are not informative, because nobody tells stories about the many people who persevered but failed after wasting a good part of their lives. It is indeed frustrating if you follow an unrealistic dream. For another, every road taken means another road is not taken. An unrealistic goal means missing out on other opportunities. What if everybody with the childhood dream of becoming an astronaut persistently kept trying forever? Winners always wisely choose what to quit and what to pursue. Recent studies have shown that being able to give up some goals and dreams and redirect your energy toward more reasonable ones is important for mental well-being and leads to higher quality of life in the long term. The psychological term is “goal disengagement”. If you are currently devoting too much time and effort to an unattainable goal, here are some hints that might help. First, do not tie a goal to your identity. Nobody can be defined by a single goal or interest. Besides, disengage from a goal but keep some of the effort. It’s called “turning it into a hobby”. Few stamp and coin collectors desire to become professionals, yet many enjoy collecting. Last and most important, do not think of giving up as a failure, but as a choice. Your time is limited. Try new activities, rediscover previous interests, and revise your ambitions. Be honest with yourself about your chances, and choose the goals that best suit you. And remember that, when you give up a goal, you do not fail. You make a choice to free up your time for other possibilities. 12. What result may “selection bias” bring to people? A. Setting self-limit. B. Giving up more easily. C. Misjudging the situation. D. Ignoring successful stories. 13. How can people benefit from “goal disengagement”? A. By motivating their desire for success. B. By gaining a sense of self-satisfaction. C. By telling easy goals from difficult goals. D. By saving energy to focus on practical goals. 14 Which of the following may the author agree with? A. Accepting failure with ease does make sense. B. One can make a hobby out of an unattainable goal. C. Turn to professionals when realizing personal goals. D. Choosing a goal is more challenging than realizing it. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Identity Crisis: Be True to Yourself. B. Goals or Hobbies: Make Your Choice. C. Never Say Never: The Key to Success. D. Winners Do Quit: Be Wise About Your Goals. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满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。 Whether it’s the echo (回声) of beeping tills in a supermarket or the hissing of a coffee machine in your local café, the brain is constantly working to decode (解码) hundreds of noises each day. But for individuals like 25-year-old Sophie, these background noises can be stressful. ___16___ She says she can’t figure out where they’re coming from and can’t compute them fast enough. After a hearing test came back normal, Sophie met a private audiologist (听觉矫正专家) for further testing. She was eventually diagnosed (诊断) with auditory processing disorder (APD). ___17___ However, her audiologist believes the overuse of noise-canceling headphones, which Sophie wears for up to five hours a day, could have a part to play. Noise-canceling headphones do have advantages for long-term ear health. But some experts warn that by blocking everyday sounds, the brain may “forget” how to filter (过滤) noise. ___18___ Over-reliance on noise-canceling headphones during this period might delay the ability to process speech and noise. Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children have seen an increase in demand for assessments of children struggling to hear certain words in noisy environments. ___19___ Audiologists are calling for more research into the impact of noise-canceling headphones on teen’s auditory processing. ___20___ Mobile apps with “word in noise” training exercises are popular for helping patients distinguish speech from background noise.

Her parents were always busy at work, even in the evenings. She had to do most of the housework by herself, including taking care of their garden. However, she knew little about gardening, so their garden never seemed attractive. One quiet evening, Sarah was left at home alone again. She was sitting by the window, doing her homework. As she looked outside, she noticed a man standing under the streetlamp across the road. He was tall, wearing a dark coat, and seemed to be looking directly at her house. Sarah’s heart skipped a beat. For days, Sarah had seen the man walk around the neighborhood. He never spoke to anyone, and he always seemed to be alone. She had mentioned him to her parents, who said he was new to this town and was a gardener. However, Sarah couldn’t shake the feeling of fear. That evening, as the man lingered (逗留) under the streetlamp, Sarah decided to call Mrs. Baker, who lived just a few houses away. Mrs. Baker was a kind elderly woman who had always been like a grandmother to Sarah. “Mrs. Baker, there’s a man outside, and he’s been standing there for a while. I’m scared,” Sarah whispered into the phone. Mrs. Baker tried to calm Sarah down and said, “Don’t worry, dear. I’ll come over soon.” A few minutes later, Mrs. Baker arrived at Sarah’s door. Together, they went to the window and peered (仔细瞧) out. The man was still there, but he was holding something in his hands. Sarah’s fear grew. “What if he’s dangerous?” Sarah asked. Mrs. Baker patted Sarah’s shoulder and said, “Let’s not jump to a conclusion so quickly.” Just then, the man began walking toward Sarah’s house. Sarah’s heart pounded as he approached the front door. But instead of knocking, he bent down and placed something on the porch (门廊). Then, he turned around and walked away. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Sarah and Mrs. Baker opened the door and found a package with a note. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, Sarah decided to find the man and thank him for his seeds. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
