We’ll begin the campus tour in a minute, but first I’d like to remind you about your student ID. Right now, you all have short-term ID. Those will only last until the end of the week, when classes start. After that, you’ll need your long-term Bryce College ID — to get onto campus, to use the library, and a lot of other things. And to get your long-term ID, you’ll need to go to the student administration office, which is on the ground floor of the main building — don’t worry, I’ll show you where that is. Now, you have short-term ID until the end of the week, but I wouldn’t wait until then if I were you. To get your long-term ID, you need to show your acceptance letter from the college plus one other form of ID documents, like a driver’s license, or a passport. You just fill out a form; they’ll take your picture and make your card while you wait. It takes only a few minutes. Um, okay, so, are there any questions before we start the tour? 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2分，满分30分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A With summer just around the corner, it’s time to find some good books to read. Here are some you might like to try. The Big Miss The author was Tiger Woods’ coach for six years, and the book is a behind-the-scenes look into the famous golfer’s private life. One reader wrote on Amazon.com, “I’m a big Tiger fan, and I read this in one sitting. Brilliant!” The Hunger Games The story is set in a post-apocalyptic (世界末日后的) future. Most people are very poor. Every year, there’s a game show (called “The Hunger Games”) in which 18 teenagers are sent into the wild to battle it out until only one survives. The book has just been made into a highly successful Hollywood movie. Imagine How Creativity Works This is a very fun and very convincing book about the creative parts of our brain. It looks at people such as Bob Dylan, and the man who invented post-it notes and asks why they were so creatively successful. The author writes, “Once we know how creativity works, we can make it work for us.” The Venice Experiment: A Year of Trial and Error Living Abroad A few years ago, real-life American couple Barry and Debbie decided to escape the rat race and live in Venice for a year. This is the story of their experiences there, and it’s full of funny anecdotes (奇闻轶事) about their struggle to adapt to the Venetian lifestyle. A fellow author said, “For anyone thinking of an overseas adventure, The Venice Experiment is a laugh-out-loud read.” 21. What is special about The Hunger Games? A. It tells adventures. B. It hits the screen. C. It is based on real stories. D. It is the most popular book. 22. Which word best describes the book Imagine How Creativity Works? A. Popular. B. Technical. C. Instructive. D. Biographical. 23. Which of the following books is about living abroad? A. The Big Miss. B. The Hunger Games. C. Imagine How Creativity Works. D. The Venice Experiment. 【答案】21. B 22. C 23. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文，文章介绍了几本好书。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The Hunger Games”部分中的“The book has just been made into a highly successful Hollywood movie.(这本书刚刚被拍成了一部非常成功的好莱坞电影)”可知，《饥饿游戏》这本书的特别之处在于它已经被拍成了电影，即搬上荧幕。故选B。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Imagine How Creativity Works”部分中的内容“It looks at people such as Bob Dylan, and the man who invented post-it notes and asks why they were so creatively successful. The author writes, “Once we know how creativity works, we can make it work for us.”(它着眼于像鲍勃·迪伦这样的人，以及发明便利贴的人，并询问他们为什么在创造性上如此成功。作者写道：‘一旦我们知道创造力是如何运作的，我们就能让它为我们服务。’)”可知，书中引用了一些真实的名人例子并分析了他们创造力的来源，通过理解创造力的运作方式来提升实践能力，这本书具有教育指导意义。故选C。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The Venice Experiment: A Year of Trial and Error Living Abroad”部分中“A few years ago, real-life American couple Barry and Debbie decided to escape the rat race and live in Venice for a year.(几年前，现实生活中的美国夫妇Barry和Debbie决定逃离激烈的竞争，在威尼斯住了一年)”可知，《The Venice Experiment》一书讲述的是一对美国夫妇决定逃离激烈的商业竞争，前往意大利威尼斯生活一年的经历，即《The Venice Experiment》是关于在国外生活的。故选D。 B Whenever it comes to holidays, my mother makes fun of my sister and me about how we “make out like robbers”. She is referring to the fact that we are half Jewish and half Indian, so we receive gifts on both the festivals of lights, Hanukkah and Diwali. Though my mother teases us, I do not mind getting two sets of gifts! Hanukkah is celebrated on the 25th day of the Jewish month, which is usually sometime in December. On Hanukkah, like most Jewish families, we light a menorah (大烛台) and say a prayer each night. We also say a special prayer on the first night. After that, it is a tradition for my sister and me to do “hot and cold” for our hidden Hanukkah gifts. When we walk towards the gift, our parents say “hot” and when we walk farther away, they say “cold”. We each receive one present every night of Hanukkah. Another part I like about this holiday is seeing family members who we do not see often. My aunt usually stays for a few days, and we sometimes visit other relatives. Diwali is observed on the 13th day of the dark fortnight of the month of Ashwin (October/ November). To celebrate Diwali, my family does a pooja, or prayers, in honor of the goddess Lakshmi. Since she is the goddess of wealth and prosperity, the pooja includes washing silver coins in milk and water. In India, people decorate their houses with lamps, similar to the way you might light up your house for Christmas. My family just place a few candles outside. We also set off firecrackers, which is my favorite part. We often do this activity with friends to add to the excitement. Both holidays have different histories and stories. We celebrate them in different ways, yet they both have the same meaning. They both translate into Festival of Lights, and they both mean family and presents for me! 24. Why does the author receive gifts on both Hanukkah and Diwali? A. She lives in a well-off family. B. She lives in two different countries. C. Her parents like observing their different cultures. D. Her parents like spending money buying gifts for her. 25. What does the underlined phrase “hot and cold” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. A kind of Hanukkah game. B. A riddle written on lights. C. A sort of Hanukkah gift. D. A can of festival drink. 26. What do Hanukkah and Diwali have in common? A. They share the same history and culture. B. They are both related to the origin of lights. C. They get the families to do their prayers. D. They are celebrated by both Jews and Indians. 27. What is the author’s attitude towards Hanukkah and Diwali? A. Unclear. B. Indifferent. C. Appreciative. D. Critical. 【答案】24. C 25. A 26. C 27. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者因为父母是犹太人和印度人而庆祝两种不同文化的节日Hanukkah和Diwali，并对两个节日作了介绍。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“She is referring to the fact that we are half Jewish and half Indian, so we receive gifts on both the festivals of lights, Hanukkah and Diwali.(她指的是这样一个事实：我们一半是犹太人，一半是印度人，所以我们在光明节和排灯节都收到礼物)”可知，作者的父母一个是犹太人，一个是印度人，因为父母庆祝各自不同的文化节日，作者会在两个节日里得到礼物，故选C。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“When we walk towards the gift, our parents say ‘hot’ and when we walk farther away, they say ‘cold’.(当我们走向礼物时，父母说‘热’，当我们走远了，他们说‘冷’)”可推知，“hot and cold”是一种光明节期间寻找礼物的游戏，故选A。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“On Hanukkah, like most Jewish families, we light a menorah (大烛台) and say a prayer each night.(在光明节，像大多数犹太家庭一样，我们每天晚上点燃烛台祈祷)”和第三段中“To celebrate Diwali, my family does a pooja, or prayers, in honor of the goddess Lakshmi.(为了庆祝排灯节，我的家人会为拉克希米女神祈祷)”可知，两个节日都让家人祈祷，故选C。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Another part I like about this holiday is seeing family members who we do not see often.(我喜欢这个假期的另一部分是看到我们不经常见到的家人。)”、第三段中“We also set off firecrackers, which is my favorite part. We often do this activity with friends to add to the excitement.(我们还放鞭炮，这是我最喜欢的部分。我们经常和朋友一起做这个活动来增加刺激。)”以及最后一段中“They both translate into Festival of Lights, and they both mean family and presents for me!(它们都译为‘灯节’，对我来说都意味着家人和礼物)”可知，作者喜欢庆祝这两个节日，持欣赏态度，故选C。 C Cities can boost happiness just as much as the countryside — as long as they are scenic, according to experts. Naturally open spaces are typically considered to create a better mood. But in the first study of its kind, scientists found areas with lots of old buildings but not much green space can be just as good for our well-being. And the effect could be the same regardless of the weather, how wealthy the area is, the activities that take place there and the day of the week. The research leader said, “We find that people are indeed happier in more scenic environments. Built-up areas, which might consist of characterful buildings or bridges, also have a positive link to happiness.” The researchers made a survey among more than 15,000 users of the app Happiness. People are asked to report on their happiness multiple times per day while recording their current location, who they are with and what they are currently doing. To determine whether individuals are happier in more scenic environments, the team considered a range of factors that may also play a part. For example, traveling to or from your work is negatively associated with happiness, while leisure activities such as resting, gardening and walking are positively associated with happiness. The researchers said, “We find that people do report themselves to be happier when in a more scenic location, even after controlling for weather, activities, companionship, weekdays or weekends.” Although natural elements such as ponds, rivers and forest paths improved ratings on a photograph, so did churches, cottages and towers. A study surveyed 400,000 people across Canada using a widely-recognized happiness scale. They found that city dwellers (居民) have higher salaries, higher education levels and lower unemployment rates. However, that meant nothing in terms of joy: people who lived in the countryside were, on average, eight times happier than people in urban areas. 28. Which of the following is the key factor that leads to one’s happiness? A. Beautiful places. B. Tall buildings. C. Fine weather. D. Rich places. 29. What can we know from the passage? A. City dwellers are much happier than those living in the countryside. B. One is happier when he lives in an area with lots of buildings. C. One is happier to do the gardening than to travel to work. D. People are unhappier to rest at home than to make money. 30. Which is mentioned as what makes a photo look better? A. Railway tracks, ponds and rivers. B. Forest paths, cottages and towers. C. Flying planes, forests and crops. D. City buildings, subways and ships. 31. Where can you most likely read this passage? A. In a photography book. B. In a guidebook. C. In a technology report. D. In a health magazine. 【答案】28. A 29. C 30. B 31. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章介绍了影响人们幸福感的重要因素，如人文景观、优美的风景等。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Cities can boost happiness just as much as the countryside — as long as they are scenic, according to experts.(专家称，城市可以像乡村一样提升幸福感——只要它们风景优美)”和第五段“To determine whether individuals are happier in more scenic environments, the team considered a range of factors that may also play a part. For example, traveling to or from your work is negatively associated with happiness, while leisure activities such as resting, gardening and walking are positively associated with happiness.(为了确定人们是否在风景优美的环境中更快乐，研究小组考虑了一系列可能起作用的因素。例如，上班或下班的旅行与幸福感负相关，而休息、园艺和散步等休闲活动与幸福感正相关)”可知，影响幸福感的重要因素是优美的环境或风景，故选A。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“For example, traveling to or from your work is negatively associated with happiness, while leisure activities such as resting, gardening and walking are positively associated with happiness.(例如，上班或下班的旅行与幸福感负相关，而休息、园艺和散步等休闲活动与幸福感正相关)”可知，像园艺之类的休闲活动比上班更使人们开心，故选C。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Although natural elements such as ponds, rivers and forest paths improved ratings on a photograph, so did churches, cottages and towers.(虽然池塘、河流和林中幽径等自然元素提高了照片的评分，但教堂、小屋和高塔也是如此)”可知，池塘、河流和林中幽径等自然元素能为一张照片加分，教堂、乡间小屋和高塔等也有同样的作用，故选B。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文内容，结合第一段“Cities can boost happiness just as much as the countryside — as long as they are scenic, according to experts.(专家称，城市可以像乡村一样提升幸福感——只要它们风景优美)”可知，文章说明和阐释了影响人们幸福感的因素，属于健康科普类文章，最有可能在健康杂志上读到这篇文章。故选D。 D While facial recognition technology continues to promote many aspects of human life, it’s now being applied to aid the protection of giant pandas, Xinhua News Agency reported recently. A nature reserve has built an AI-enabled video monitoring system to better protect giant pandas. Installed with 300 infrared (红外线) cameras, the monitoring system helps ensure the health and safety of 110 wild giant pandas there. It was put into operation two years ago, and has captured numerous photos and videos of pandas engaged in activities such as eating, resting and fighting for mates. It provides scientific data to help us grasp pandas’ living conditions and establish conservation strategies. More importantly, it achieves real-time monitoring of the reserve so that we can discern the threats to the wildlife as early as possible. A recent study found the facial recognition system can automatically recognize various wild animals caught in infrared cameras, allowing researchers to collect data on giant pandas while staying indoors. It’s shown that by equipping the AI-aided system to retain the filed photos of giant pandas, we obtain a 98% success rate for species recognition. Its success rate of recognizing other wild animals can top 80%. In 2021 alone, this monitoring system captured 2,896 photos of giant pandas and other rare animals and filmed 3,218 seconds of footage, showcasing the reserve’s sound ecological environment as well as a gradual rise in panda population there. Head of the reserve’s administration Liu Xingming, said researchers used the system not only to observe the dynamics and health of the giant panda population but also to learn about changes in the natural surroundings of their habitat. “The monitoring system has enabled systematic, scientific, and intelligent conservation of wildlife,” he added. “However, it is expected to be further improved and optimized in the near future.” 32. What does the underlined word “discern” mean in paragraph 2? A. Solve. B. Pose. C. Reduce. D. Detect. 33. What can be learned about the new technology from the study? A. It precisely recognizes any species. B. It makes panda population rise rapidly. C. It contributes to species data collection. D. It understands pandas’ facial expressions. 34. Which can be inferred from what Liu Xingming said? A. The giant panda population is healthier. B. The system hasn’t solved all problems. C. The system has no need to be improved. D. The giant panda’s habitat has changed. 35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Panda Facial Recognition Collecting and Using Database B. Functions of AI-enabled Facial Recognition Technology C. AI-aided Monitoring System for Better Panda Protection D. A Breakthrough in Video Monitoring System 【答案】32. D 33. C 34. B 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了人工智能面部识别人工智能被用来帮助保护大熊猫。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“More importantly, it achieves real-time monitoring of the reserve so that we can discern the threats to the wildlife as early as possible.(更重要的是，它实现了对保护区的实时监控，以便我们能够尽早discern对野生动物的威胁)”可知，该系统能够对保护区实时监测，这样就能尽早发现野生动物面临的威胁。discern意为“觉察出”，与detect (察觉，发现)意思一致。故选D。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“A recent study found the facial recognition system can automatically recognize various wild animals caught in infrared cameras, allowing researchers to collect data on giant pandas while staying indoors.(最近的一项研究发现，面部识别系统可以自动识别红外摄像头捕捉到的各种野生动物，使研究人员能够在室内收集大熊猫的数据)”可知，面部识别系统能自动识别各种野生动物，让研究人员收集大熊猫的数据。由此推知，该新技术有助于物种数据的收集。故选C。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的““The monitoring system has enabled systematic, scientific, and intelligent conservation of wildlife,” he added. “However, it is expected to be further improved and optimized in the near future.”(“该监测系统实现了对野生动物的系统、科学和智能保护。”他补充道。“然而，预计在不久的将来会进一步改进和优化。”)”可知，他认为在未来还会对该监测系统进一步改进和优化。由此推知，该系统还没有解决所有的问题。故选B。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“While facial recognition technology continues to promote many aspects of human life, it’s now being applied to aid the protection of giant pandas, Xinhua News Agency reported recently.(据新华社最近报道，虽然面部识别技术继续促进人类生活的许多方面，但它现在正被应用于帮助保护大熊猫。)”和第二段中的“A nature reserve has built an AI-enabled video monitoring system to better protect giant pandas.(一个自然保护区建立了一个人工智能视频监控系统，以更好地保护大熊猫)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要讲述了人工智能面部识别技术应用于大熊猫保护，建立了视频监控系统来更好地保护大熊猫。由此可知，C项“用于更好地保护大熊猫的人工智能辅助监测系统”适合作本文最佳标题。故选C。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10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。 Reading nonfiction books can help build determination and establish routines for many people. And this improved lifestyle will reduce their anxiety. When it comes to fiction, on the other hand, people often refuse to accept the idea. ____36____ The important benefit of reading fiction is that it will help change your angles. When you read a self-help book, you often consume a series of lessons with examples and practical advice. ____37____ Fiction, in contrast, gives you access to the struggles, and ideas of various characters. The exchange of information is multi-sided. When considering different angles on an event, you’ll realize you can’t control everything. ____38____ When we’re dealing with daily stress factors we feel like the world is falling upon us. Characters in novels face challenges, but we as readers are separate from their experiences. As such, we have a bird’s eye view over what’s happening in the story. And this view is what we need to reduce our anxiety in the real world. Fiction stories help us understand the power of change in both stories and real life. Through stories, you are beginning a journey and witnessing progress in a fictional world. These changes are imaginary. ____39____ The Alchemist, for example, the main character is traveling for months to find a treasure. He believes that finding the prize will give him joy. Throughout his voyage, he experiences many setbacks, and his vision of the treasure changes. The boy’s evolution in The Alchemist reflects life. ____40____ But after many attempts, we realize that our heart wasn’t in it. A. We want something and we spend years chasing it. B. But they often mirror events that could happen in real life. C. We also experience many failures when pursuing our dreams. D. Consequently, most of the knowledge is passed on one-sidedly. E. Reading nonfiction is a well-established weapon against anxiety. F. Fiction gives us a precious chance to see the entire world from distance. G. In actual fact, reading fiction can also help you overcome your anxiety. 【答案】36. G 37. D 38. F 39. B 40. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了阅读小说能够转变视角、提供远距离的审视角度、反映现实生活中的变化，还有助于克服焦虑。 【36题详解】 根据上文“Reading nonfiction books can help build determination and establish routines for many people. And this improved lifestyle will reduce their anxiety. When it comes to fiction, on the other hand, people often refuse to accept the idea.(对许多人来说，阅读非小说类书籍可以帮助他们树立决心，建立日常生活习惯。这种改善的生活方式会减少他们的焦虑。另一方面，当谈到小说时，人们往往拒绝接受这个想法。)”提到人们对非小说类书籍能帮助建立决心和规律生活以及减少焦虑的认可，而对小说类书籍常持否定态度，空处应是转折引出小说类书籍也有好处，G选项“In actual fact, reading fiction can also help you overcome your anxiety.(事实上，阅读小说也可以帮助你克服焦虑。)”符合语境，起到承上启下的作用。“in (actual) fact”意为“（用以强调，尤其与刚提到的事情相反）事实上，实际上”。故选G。 【37题详解】 前文“The important benefit of reading fiction is that it will help change your angles. When you read a self-help book, you often consume a series of lessons with examples and practical advice. (阅读小说的一个重要好处是它能帮助你改变角度。当你阅读一本自助书籍时，你通常会阅读一系列的课程，包括例子和实用的建议。)”提到读自助类书籍时，读者会从中汲取一系列包含例子和实用建议的经验方法，这是一种单向的知识传递方式，D选项“Consequently, most of the knowledge is passed on one-sidedly.(因此，大多数知识是单方面传递的。)”与前文衔接紧密，符合逻辑。故选D。 【38题详解】 根据后文“When we’re dealing with daily stress factors, we feel like the world is falling upon us. Characters in novels face challenges, but we as readers are separate from their experiences. As such, we have a bird’s eye view over what’s happening in the story. (当我们处理日常压力因素时，我们觉得世界要压垮我们了。小说中的人物面临挑战，但我们作为读者与他们的经历是分开的。因此，我们对故事中发生的事情有一个鸟瞰视角。)”可知，此段主要讲阅读小说能让我们从一定距离看世界；F选项“Fiction gives us a precious chance to see the entire world from distance.(小说给了我们一个难得的机会从远处看整个世界。)”符合段落主旨，引领下文。故选F。 【39题详解】 前文“Fiction stories help us understand the power of change in both stories and real life. Through stories, you are beginning a journey and witnessing progress in a fictional world. These changes are imaginary.(小说故事帮助我们理解故事和现实生活中变化的力量。通过故事，你开始了一段旅程，见证了一个虚构世界的进步。这些变化都是虚构的。)”指出小说中的变化是虚构的；空后“The Alchemist, for example, the main character is traveling for months to find a treasure. He believes that finding the prize will give him joy. Throughout his voyage, he experiences many setbacks, and his vision of the treasure changes. The boy’s evolution in The Alchemist reflects life.(以《炼金术士》为例，主角花了几个月的时间去寻找宝藏。他相信找到奖品会给他带来快乐。在整个航行过程中，他经历了许多挫折，他对宝藏的看法也发生了变化。《炼金术士》中男孩的进化反映了生活。)”举例说明小说中的变化反映生活，B选项“But they often mirror events that could happen in real life.(但它们常常反映了在现实生活中可能发生的事件)”承上启下，符合语境。故选B。 【40题详解】 根据根据上文“The Alchemist, for example, the main character is traveling for months to find a treasure. He believes that finding the prize will give him joy. Throughout his voyage, he experiences many setbacks, and his vision of the treasure changes. The boy’s evolution in The Alchemist reflects life.(以《炼金术士》为例，主角要花几个月的时间去寻找宝藏。他相信找到奖品会给他带来快乐。在整个航行过程中，他经历了许多挫折，他对宝藏的看法也发生了变化。《炼金术士》中男孩的进化反映了生活。)”可知，对待自己所多年追寻的东西的，最终态度可能会发生改变；A选项“We want something and we spend years chasing it.(我们想要某样东西，并且会花数年时间去追逐它。)”与后文“But after many attempts, we realize that our heart wasn’t in it.(但经过许多次反复尝试后，我们意识到我们内心并不真正想要它。)”形成转折关系，指出花数年时间去追逐想要的某样东西，最终意识到自己内心并不真正想要，符合语境。故选A。 第三部分 语言运用(共三节，满分40分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 A Mother’s Day Surprise The twins, Jenna and Jeff, were excited as Mother’s Day approached.

Allison lived in a small town. That day after dinner, Allison put on her dress her father had just bought for her. The dress was cheap and second-hand because her family was poor. But Allison still thanked her dad and said, “Everyone will love my dress!” Then, she left for neighbors’ houses to ask for candy. On the way, she came across Anna and her friends and wanted to join them. “No! Look at your dress! It’s ugly!” Anna said. Her friends also laughed. “Look at our dresses, especially mine! It’s new and beautiful,” Anna added. Her friends nodded, and in some way they were right. Anna’s dress was shiny and looked expensive. She always had the best clothes because her parents were rich. Allison was shocked and sad. The kids not only disliked her dress but made fun of it. “You can’t come with us!” Anna stressed. “We would never hang out with you!” The other kids agreed and laughed. They all left to start collecting candy for the night while Allison was left alone, embarrassed in the middle of the street. Anyway she knew all the neighbors. She often helped around carrying their groceries and helping them with their gardens. People around there knew her. She didn’t need to hangout with Anna or her friends. “I’ll go just alone,” the little girl said to herself and started walking. She as well as Anna and her friends walked in the same direction: towards their first neighbor Mrs Vaughan’s house. But Allison walked behind and kept her distance from them. And she stopped when Anna and her friends were near Mrs Vaughan’s house. Just then, Mrs Vaughan looked out of her window. She noticed that Allison was being excluded by Anna and her friends. She knew it was probably because of Allison’s poor dress. She immediately felt pity for Allison, who often helped her and other neighbors. She decided to give Allison much more candy as a reward and teach Anna and her friends a lesson. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 When Anna and her friends knocked on her door, Mrs Vaughan opened it. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Anna looked up and said, “Our clothes are more beautiful!

The girls greeted her, showed off their beautiful clothes and asked for candy. Mrs Vaughan, who held a bag of sweets, asked them to wait for a moment. Then, she waved to Allison, calling out, “Dear, come here!” When Allison came, Mrs Vaughan said, “Oh, how beautiful you are today!” Then, she gave Allison most of her candy although the girl declined. When Allison walked away, Mrs Vaughan divided the rest of the candy among Anna and her friends, who were a little angry and confused. Anna looked up and said, “Our clothes are more beautiful! But you gave Allison more candy! Why?” Mrs Vaughan looked down calmly and explained that Allison was always friendly to neighbors. “She has great inner beauty. Inner beauty is more important. Why not be friends with her?” Mrs Vaughan added. Hearing that, Anna and her friends’ faces turned red and they realized they had done something wrong. They said goodbye to Mrs Vaughan, caught up with Allison, and sincerely invited Allison to join them. Allison nodded gladly and had new friends, who would no longer judge her by her clothes. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。一年一度感恩节到来，孩子们盛装打扮去向邻居索要糖果，家境贫穷的艾利森因为衣服廉价而被安娜和她的朋友们排挤，看到这一切的沃恩太太决定给安娜他们一个教训，于是沃恩太太给了艾利森更多的糖果并告诉安娜他们这是因为艾利森经常帮助邻居们，她的内在更美，于是孩子们意识到了自己的错误并主动邀请艾莉森成为了朋友。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当安娜和她的朋友们敲她的门时，沃恩太太开了门。”可知，第一段可描写沃恩太太给了艾利森更多的糖果，而给了安娜和她的朋友们很少的糖果。 ②由第二段首句内容“安娜抬起头说：‘我们的衣服更漂亮!但你给了艾莉森更多的糖果！为什么？’”可知，第二段可描写沃恩太太解释说是因为艾利森的内在更美并鼓励安娜和她的朋友们和艾利森成为朋友。 2.续写线索：索要糖果——呼唤艾莉森——分配糖果——教导——惭愧——交朋友 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.谢绝：decline/refuse ②.意识到：realize/be aware that ③.赶上：catch up with/keep up with 情绪类 ①.生气：angry/annoyed/irritated ②.困惑：confused/puzzled 【点睛】[高分句型1] Allison nodded gladly and had new friends, who would no longer judge her by her clothes.

Here are some you might like to try. The Big Miss The author was Tiger Woods’ coach for six years, and the book is a behind-the-scenes look into the famous golfer’s private life. One reader wrote on Amazon.com, “I’m a big Tiger fan, and I read this in one sitting. Brilliant!” The Hunger Games The story is set in a post-apocalyptic (世界末日后的) future. Most people are very poor. Every year, there’s a game show (called “The Hunger Games”) in which 18 teenagers are sent into the wild to battle it out until only one survives. The book has just been made into a highly successful Hollywood movie. Imagine How Creativity Works This is a very fun and very convincing book about the creative parts of our brain. It looks at people such as Bob Dylan, and the man who invented post-it notes and asks why they were so creatively successful. The author writes, “Once we know how creativity works, we can make it work for us.” The Venice Experiment: A Year of Trial and Error Living Abroad A few years ago real-life American couple Barry and Debbie decided to escape the rat race and live in Venice for a year. This is the story of their experiences there, and it’s full of funny anecdotes (奇闻轶事) about their struggle to adapt to the Venetian lifestyle. A fellow author said, “For anyone thinking of an overseas adventure, The Venice Experiment is a laugh-out-loud read.” 21. What is special about The Hunger Games? A. It tells adventures. B. It hits the screen. C. It is based on real stories. D. It is the most popular book. 22. Which word best describes the book Imagine How Creativity Works? A. Popular. B. Technical. C. Instructive. D. Biographical. 23. Which of the following books is about living abroad? A. The Big Miss. B. The Hunger Games. C. Imagine How Creativity Works. D. The Venice Experiment. B Whenever it comes to holidays, my mother makes fun of my sister and me about how we “make out like robbers”. She is referring to the fact that we are half Jewish and half Indian, so we receive gifts on both the festivals of lights, Hanukkah and Diwali. Though my mother teases us, I do not mind getting two sets of gifts! Hanukkah is celebrated on the 25th day of the Jewish month, which is usually sometime in December. On Hanukkah, like most Jewish families, we light a menorah (大烛台) and say a prayer each night. We also say a special prayer on the first night. After that, it is a tradition for my sister and me to do “hot and cold” for our hidden Hanukkah gifts. When we walk towards the gift, our parents say “hot” and when we walk farther away, they say “cold”. We each receive one present every night of Hanukkah. Another part I like about this holiday is seeing family members who we do not see often. My aunt usually stays for a few days, and we sometimes visit other relatives. Diwali is observed on the 13th day of the dark fortnight of the month of Ashwin (October/ November). To celebrate Diwali, my family does a pooja, or prayers, in honor of the goddess Lakshmi. Since she is the goddess of wealth and prosperity, the pooja includes washing silver coins in milk and water. In India, people decorate their houses with lamps, similar to the way you might light up your house for Christmas. My family just place a few candles outside. We also set off firecrackers, which is my favorite part. We often do this activity with friends to add to the excitement. Both holidays have different histories and stories. We celebrate them in different ways, yet they both have the same meaning. They both translate into Festival of Lights, and they both mean family and presents for me! 24. Why does the author receive gifts on both Hanukkah and Diwali? A. She lives in a well-off family. B. She lives in two different countries. C. Her parents like observing their different cultures. D. Her parents like spending money buying gifts for her. 25. What does the underlined phrase “hot and cold” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. A kind of Hanukkah game. B. A riddle written on lights. C. A sort of Hanukkah gift. D. A can of festival drink. 26. What do Hanukkah and Diwali have in common? A. They share the same history and culture. B. They are both related to the origin of lights. C. They get the families to do their prayers. D. They are celebrated by both Jews and Indians. 27. What is the author’s attitude towards Hanukkah and Diwali? A. Unclear. B. Indifferent. C. Appreciative. D. Critical. C Cities can boost happiness just as much as the countryside — as long as they are scenic, according to experts. Naturally open spaces are typically considered to create a better mood. But in the first study of its kind, scientists found areas with lots of old buildings but not much green space can be just as good for our well-being. And the effect could be the same regardless of the weather, how wealthy the area is, the activities that take place there and the day of the week. The research leader said, “We find that people are indeed happier in more scenic environments. Built-up areas, which might consist of characterful buildings or bridges, also have a positive link to happiness.” The researchers made a survey among more than 15,000 users of the app Happiness. People are asked to report on their happiness multiple times per day while recording their current location, who they are with and what they are currently doing. To determine whether individuals are happier in more scenic environments, the team considered a range of factors that may also play a part. For example, traveling to or from your work is negatively associated with happiness, while leisure activities such as resting, gardening and walking are positively associated with happiness. The researchers said, “We find that people do report themselves to be happier when in a more scenic location, even after controlling for weather, activities, companionship, weekdays or weekends.” Although natural elements such as ponds, rivers and forest paths improved ratings on a photograph, so did churches, cottages and towers. A study surveyed 400,000 people across Canada using a widely-recognized happiness scale. They found that city dwellers (居民) have higher salaries, higher education levels and lower unemployment rates. However, that meant nothing in terms of joy: people who lived in the countryside were, on average, eight times happier than people in urban areas. 28. Which of the following is the key factor that leads to one’s happiness? A. Beautiful places. B. Tall buildings. C Fine weather. D. Rich places. 29. What can we know from the passage? A. City dwellers are much happier than those living in the countryside. B. One is happier when he lives in an area with lots of buildings. C. One is happier to do the gardening than to travel to work. D. People are unhappier to rest at home than to make money. 30. Which is mentioned as what makes a photo look better? A. Railway tracks, ponds and rivers. B. Forest paths, cottages and towers. C. Flying planes, forests and crops. D. City buildings, subways and ships. 31. Where can you most likely read this passage? A. In a photography book. B. In a guidebook. C. In a technology report. D. In a health magazine. D While facial recognition technology continues to promote many aspects of human life, it’s now being applied to aid the protection of giant pandas, Xinhua News Agency reported recently. A nature reserve has built an AI-enabled video monitoring system to better protect giant pandas. Installed with 300 infrared (红外线) cameras, the monitoring system helps ensure the health and safety of 110 wild giant pandas there. It was put into operation two years ago, and has captured numerous photos and videos of pandas engaged in activities such as eating, resting and fighting for mates. It provides scientific data to help us grasp pandas’ living conditions and establish conservation strategies. More importantly, it achieves real-time monitoring of the reserve so that we can discern the threats to the wildlife as early as possible. A recent study found the facial recognition system can automatically recognize various wild animals caught in infrared cameras, allowing researchers to collect data on giant pandas while staying indoors. It’s shown that by equipping the AI-aided system to retain the filed photos of giant pandas, we obtain a 98% success rate for species recognition. Its success rate of recognizing other wild animals can top 80%. In 2021 alone, this monitoring system captured 2,896 photos of giant pandas and other rare animals and filmed 3,218 seconds of footage, showcasing the reserve’s sound ecological environment as well as a gradual rise in panda population there. Head of the reserve’s administration, Liu Xingming, said researchers used the system not only to observe the dynamics and health of the giant panda population but also to learn about changes in the natural surroundings of their habitat. “The monitoring system has enabled systematic, scientific, and intelligent conservation of wildlife,” he added. “However, it is expected to be further improved and optimized in the near future.” 32. What does the underlined word “discern” mean in paragraph 2? A. Solve. B. Pose. C. Reduce. D. Detect. 33. What can be learned about the new technology from the study? A. It precisely recognizes any species. B. It makes panda population rise rapidly. C. It contributes to species data collection. D. It understands pandas’ facial expressions. 34 Which can be inferred from what Liu Xingming said? A. The giant panda population is healthier. B. The system hasn’t solved all problems. C. The system has no need to be improved. D. The giant panda’s habitat has changed. 35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Panda Facial Recognition Collecting and Using Database B. Functions of AI-enabled Facial Recognition Technology C. AI-aided Monitoring System for Better Panda Protection D. A Breakthrough in Video Monitoring System 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10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。 Reading nonfiction books can help build determination and establish routines for many people. And this improved lifestyle will reduce their anxiety. When it comes to fiction, on the other hand, people often refuse to accept the idea. ____36____ The important benefit of reading fiction is that it will help change your angles. When you read a self-help book, you often consume a series of lessons with examples and practical advice. ____37____ Fiction, in contrast, gives you access to the struggles, and ideas of various characters.

Characters in novels face challenges, but we as readers are separate from their experiences. As such, we have a bird’s eye view over what’s happening in the story.

Through stories, you are beginning a journey and witnessing progress in a fictional world. These changes are imaginary. ____39____ The Alchemist, for example, the main character is traveling for months to find a treasure. He believes that finding the prize will give him joy.

In actual fact, reading fiction can also help you overcome your anxiety. 第三部分 语言运用(共三节，满分40分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 A Mother’s Day Surprise The twins, Jenna and Jeff, were excited as Mother’s Day approached.

Allison lived in a small town. That day after dinner, Allison put on her dress her father had just bought for her. The dress was cheap and second-hand because her family was poor. But Allison still thanked her dad and said, “Everyone will love my dress!” Then, she left for neighbors’ houses to ask for candy. On the way, she came across Anna and her friends and wanted to join them. “No! Look at your dress! It’s ugly!” Anna said. Her friends also laughed. “Look at our dresses, especially mine! It’s new and beautiful,” Anna added. Her friends nodded, and in some way they were right. Anna’s dress was shiny and looked expensive. She always had the best clothes because her parents were rich. Allison was shocked and sad. The kids not only disliked her dress but made fun of it. “You can’t come with us!” Anna stressed. “We would never hang out with you!” The other kids agreed and laughed. They all left to start collecting candy for the night while Allison was left alone, embarrassed in the middle of the street. Anyway, she knew all the neighbors. She often helped around carrying their groceries and helping them with their gardens. People around there knew her. She didn’t need to hangout with Anna or her friends. “I’ll go just alone,” the little girl said to herself and started walking. She as well as Anna and her friends walked in the same direction: towards their first neighbor Mrs Vaughan’s house. But Allison walked behind and kept her distance from them. And she stopped when Anna and her friends were near Mrs Vaughan’s house. Just then, Mrs Vaughan looked out of her window. She noticed that Allison was being excluded by Anna and her friends. She knew it was probably because of Allison’s poor dress. She immediately felt pity for Allison, who often helped her and other neighbors. She decided to give Allison much more candy as a reward and teach Anna and her friends a lesson. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 When Anna and her friends knocked on her door, Mrs Vaughan opened it. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Anna looked up and said, “Our clothes are more beautiful!
