Born in 2005 in a village in Hubei province,Hu lost his father at five and later livedwith his grandparents after his mother remarried.Supported by his family,he was admitted to a school for hearing-impaired children. "Adapting to life in a group was tough,"Hu signed."When I first started school.everything felt frightening.I couldn't hear anything,completely lost.I had to get used to the new environment, follow new rules,and learn how to interact with others.But over time,these challenges became easier to manage." Hu recalls how his teachers used tailored techniques and tools to aid learning.These included multimedia lessons,hearing aids,speech recognition devices,and other assistive technologies. After middle school,Hu attended a specialized high school in Wuhan.For students with hearing and speech impairments,learning English proved particularly difficult.While many of his schoolmates had some basic knowledge of the language and were exposed to English through songs, movies,and everyday conversations,Hu had no prior exposure )making the task even more challenging. "My key is reading,writing,and translation,"Hu signed.He created a detailed study plan and excelled.This year,Hu Miaokun took the national college entrance examination,or gaokao.His hard work paid off.Since May,Hu Miaokun has received offers from all seven universities to which he applied.Ultimately,Hu Miaokun decided to pursue product design at his dream schooL,Tianjin University of Technology. With ambitions of becoming a 3D designer specializing in product modeling,he is now focusing on mastering various modeling software,such as 3ds Max and Adobe Dlustrator."I'm deeply thankful to my aunt and everyone who has supported me,"Hu Miaokun signed."I will continue to work hard in my studies and,in the future,use my skills to inspire and assist others." 24.What was tough for Hu Miaokun to adapt himself to group life?

A.His schoolmates had prior exposure to English. B.The lack of early exposure to English increases the challenge. C.He focused on reading,writing,and translation D.He relied only on multimedia lessons to master English. 27.What can be a suitable title for the passage? A.Hearing-disadvantaged Teen's Journey to University Success B."Silent"but Not Silent:Hu Miaokun's Sad Story C."Deaf'Teenagers in a World of Silence D.A Teenager's Battle Against Silence:From Struggle to Survival There's a world of difference between a horror movie and a comedy-the former scares you half to death while the latter leaves you rolling on the floor with laughter.But try watching them without the background music and you just might decide they're not so different after all.Music and movies have been closely connected since the beginning of the film industry-even before the voices of actors were recorded.In movies,music helps to provide a sense of time and place,convey ideas about the characters and,most importantly,draw emotions out of the audience. 第3页共8页 Studies have long shown that our heart rates and anxiety levels rise and fall depending on the speed of the music we hear.Using this knowledge,composers use sudden changes in film music speed to create fear among audiences,Slowing the speed of the music will have the opposite effect, bringing about a sonse of peace or a dreamlike quality.The use of dissonant(不和谐的)tones and noises is another technique that heightens tension.Humans naturally become unnerved when we hear dissonant sounds because such noises are usually associated with danger,like those that animals make to wan against predators(捕食者). As crucial as it is,the best film music is subtle.All that audiences are supposed to feel is a heightened sense of emotion-they shouldn't realize what's causing it.Only when the music is taken out of the film should audiences understand its effects. In keeping with this principle,some filmmakers are even using what's called"infrasound"( to arouse fear.While we may not be able to hear it because its frequency is below the range of the human ear,infrasound has been proven to cause anxiety,tremble and even sorrow.For example, infrasound was used in the soundtrack of the 2007 horror movic Paranormal Activity,and audiences reposed extremely high fear levels despite the lack of action throughout the movie."It doesn't affect everyone equally,"said British science writer Philip Ball,author of The Music Instinct.but he predicted that "we will see more of it used in movies in the future". 28.What is the difference between a horror movie and a comedy? A.Their history. B.Their actors. C.Their background music. D.Their time and place. 29.What causes fear among audiences? A.The theme of the music. B.The unexpected change of the music. C.The knowledge of the music. D.The slow speed of the tangle. 30.What does the underlined word"subtle"in the third paragraph mean? A Gentle. B.Wonderful. C.Not extremely attractive. D.Not immediately obvious. 31.What do we know about"infrasound"from the last paragraph? A.It will be used more in movies in the future B.It makes audiences relaxed. C.It is within the range of the human ear. D.It can't be known to people. D A Midsummer Night's Dream may be one of Shakespeare's most performed plays-but its latest. version from the Royal Shakespeare Company is unlike any seen before.Titled Dream.the 50-minute online production makes it possible for audiences to remotely guide the leading character Puck though a virtual forest. In 2016,the Royal Shakespeare Company's production of The Tempest used high-tech to create a 3D digital image that was projected above the stage.The difference this time is that everything in the play-the performers and their surroundings-is shown virtually. Seven actors perform in a specially-built studio.They are surrounded by a 360-degree camera set,made up of 47 cameras with every movement almost immediately presented digitally,which is presented to viewers online.With its much-reduced characters,Dream is not a complete production of A Midsummer Night'Dream,but rather a story inspired by it,focusing on Puck and the fairies (小精灵)， Up to 2,000 audience members for each performance can become part of the show and will be invited to guide Puck through the forest.On the screen,the chosen audience will appear as a cloud of tiny fireflies ().By using their mouse or finger on the screen of a smart device,they will be able to move their firefly across the screen,and Puck will be at their beck and call to go through the virtual space.For viewers watching at home,the virtual fairies moving through a digital forest will 第4页共8页 look more like a video game than the average Royal Shakespeare Company show. "Without the fireflies-the audiences -Puck wouldn't be going anywhere,"said E.M.Williams who plays the role."The audiences are very much the fuel and the energy of the show." 32.What makes Dream different from A Midsummer Night's Dream? A.The number of actors and actresses. B.The way it presents everything in the play. C.The 3D digital image it chooses to show D.The surroundings around the performers. 33.What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A.The play's production process. B.Audicnces'opinions on the play. C.Leading characters of the play. D.The inspiration for the play. 34.What does the underlined part"be at their beck and call"in paragraph 4 probably mean? A.Be difficult to control. B.Be happy to receive a call. C.Be ready to follow their order. D.Be willing to guide them 35.What do E.M.Williams'words in the last paragraph show? A.The cost of the show. B.The importance of the audiences. C.The task of the leading character. D.The pleasure of the audiences. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。 Villains(反派角色)are some of the most memorable characters in films,.but when we think of successful villains,they might show different features.In Star Wars,Emperor Palpatine is unable to understand others.It is not the same with Darth Vader,another bad guy in the movie-yet they are both clearly successful villains.The difference raises one question.36 Firstly,a horrible personal look can help to create frightening villains.37 For example,in Martin Scorsese's films,villains with scars (on their faces usually wear expensive suits while attacking people,which encourages audiences to be afraid of their power. Secondly,effective villains also have to test heroes in the story.38. In Whiplash, the extremely strict jazz teacher never accepts any mistakes,and he often punishes his students heavily.The hero,Andrew,one of his students with a strong will,is tested by having to face such a frightening villain again and again. Here comes the last trick.39 To become memorable and achieve a lasting place in film history,a villain needs to have a purpose or motivation ()In Misery,the nurse Annie keeps her favourite writer,Paul,as a prisoner.What's her motivation?She wants him to rewrite his next chapter as she is unhappy with the ending of his latest work.40 Next time you find yoursclf watching a villain on screen,see which of these tricks have been used to make them particularly memorable A.The screenwriter gave her a reason to move the story forward. B.They can't just be beaten easily. C.What makes a successful villain? D.Are villains really necessary in all films? E.The film is well organised in terms of the storyline. F.It's necessary for a villain to be bad with a purpose. G.This sense of fear can be achieved in different ways. 第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 第c开补。不 Should You Listen to Music When You Work? Do you like to listen to music when you work? Ask this question at a party,and you'll probably get41responses.Some will say they love it,claiming that it improves their performanco;others will say they find it distracting(分散注意力的) and cannot work 42 with musio playing in the background. Interestingly enougb,our research has found that both of these viewpoints can be true.It just 43 on what sort of work you're doing. In a recent study,we brought participants into our lab to perform a variety of tasks.They included a(n)44 task-searching through word lists and crossing out words containing the letter"a"and a more difficult task-memorizing word pairs and 45 word to its partoer.Some participants completed all of the tasks in silence,46 others completed the tasks with instrumental music that was either loud or soft,aud either simple or complex,the latter meaning music with more instruments being played.Several key findings 47from our study. We found that participants who listened to simple music or no music performed about the same on the easy task.However,participants who listened to 48 music performed best on the easy task. On the contrary,participants performed worse on the more difficult task when they listened to any music,regardless of complexity or volume,compared to those who didn't listen to any music. How should we 49 these findings? We suggest that people have limited mental resources from which both 50 and tasks can draw.We can become 51 and our minds may wander when these resources are not fully used. But we also can become over-excited and52 when these resources are used up. Not surprisingly,we typically need to use fewer of our mental resources when we perform easy tasks,whereas demanding tasks require more brainpower.However,because we might be less 53 during easier tasks,there's a greater risk of drifting off.Music might give us the extra 54 we need to overcome the monotony().However,difficult tasks already demand a lot of our resources.Listening to music can become too much.
