Opening Weeks Many schools use the opening weeks of school as the occasion for holding special Pastries for Parents' Day. Since Grandparents' Day is celebrated in, September, this month is also a great time to hold a Goodies for Grandparents event or a Grandparents BBQ. Principal Donnette McNeill-Waters says, “We have also called this event Doughnuts for Dad in a specific attempt to get more fathers involved.” Native American Museum Night November is American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month: With that in mind, wouldn't this month be the perfect time to focus student learning and a special parent night on the heritage of Native Americans? The students prepare projects related to a tribe of their choices. Those projects integrate history with language arts, communication, and presentation skills. Holiday Spectacular December is a busy month for everybody. But what would the holidays be without the annual holiday concert? Meanwhile, the local nursing homes or homeless shelters will be considered. Take the show on the road and share the good will. A cash donation that will be turned over to the local organizations is also a good choice. Reading at Home The event requires children to log their reading books and hours. It lasts for several months and culminates in the Reading at Home evening at school. It invites guest readers, like local officials, police officers and firemen, retired teachers to read from their favorite books for students. It also creates themed settings for read-aloud guests. 1. Why is Opening Weeks also called Doughnuts for Dad? A. It is first launched by fathers. B. It aims to increase fathers’ participation. C. It tries to remind fathers of their childhood. D. It attempts to make fathers less worried about their kids. 2. What’s the theme of Native American Museum Night? A. Nature. B. Music. C. Local culture. D. Acting skills. 3. What can students do during Holiday Spectacular? A. Learn its history. B. Do charity work. C. Exhibit their crafts. D. Exchange their books. B More than four decades ago I attended Centennial Elementary School in Lawrence, Kansas, where Mrs Bailey, my first-grade teacher, left a permanent mark. She was an example of grace — silvered hair framing a face that showed both firmness and kindness. Her patience was inexhaustible, her behaviour grandmotherly, yet when it was time for work, she tolerated no nonsense, setting the tone for our educational journey. However, it was a citywide celebration that truly exhibited Mrs Bailey’s exceptional character. As our town marked its 100th birthday with a number of grand activities, our school embraced a dress-up day and we were encouraged to wear clothes in the style of the mid-1800s. My mother crafted pioneer-style dresses and hats for my sister and me. Our dresses, with complex details and artistic designs, were good evidence for her talent. Walking proudly to school in my pioneer dress, excitement slightly mixed with nervousness filled me — only to realize I was the only one dressed for the occasion in my class. Mrs Bailey, recognizing my discomfort, showered me with praise about my dress. Then she went to her office briefly before starting class. It wasn’t long before Mr Bailey came to our room to deliver a bag to his wife. He stayed with us while she went back into her office, and she reappeared a couple minutes later in a frontier-style dress! She explained that she had called her retired husband and asked him to bring the costume. Her thoughtful gesture erased my sense of embarrassment, replacing it with gratitude and belonging. We moved away from Kansas two years later, and I still regret that I never told Mrs Bailey how much I appreciated what she did for me. I’ve always been grateful to the teacher who went out of her way, and even turned to her husband for help, to keep a little girl from feeling out of place. I had a large number of wonderful, caring teachers throughout the years, but Mrs Bailey has always held a special place in my heart. 4. Why did Mrs Bailey get her dress changed? A. To deliver an opening speech. B. To attend a citywide celebration. C. To set the pace in school fashion. D. To relieve the author’s unease. 5. What is the author’s regret? A. Wearing a pioneer-style dress alone. B. Not expressing gratitude to Mrs Bailey. C. Giving up the dress her mother made for her. D. Leaving without saying goodbye to Mrs Bailey. 6. What can best describe Mrs Bailey? A. Considerate and strict. B. Energetic and honest. C. Modest and tolerant. D. Determined and humorous. 7. What can be the best title for the text? A. A fashion show — a turning point B. The first impression of my teacher C. Mrs Bailey — pioneer of kindness D. A fancy dress made by my mother C Phonetic (语音) information — the smallest sound elements of speech, typically represented by the alphabet (字母) — is considered by many linguists (语音学家) to be the foundation of language. Infants (婴儿) are thought to learn these small sound elements and add them together to make words. But a new study suggests that phonetic information is learnt too late and slowly for this to be the case. Instead, rhythmic (节奏的) information helps babies learn language by emphasizing the boundaries of individual words and is effective even in the first few months of life. Researchers from the University of Cambridge and Trinity College Dublin investigated babies’ ability to process phonetic information during their first year. The study found that phonetic information wasn’t successfully encoded (编码) until babies were seven months old, and was still rare for babies at 11 months old when they began to say their first words. A sister study has shown that rhythmic information was processed by babies at two months old — and individual differences predicted later language outcomes. Professor Giovanni Di Liberto said, “This is the first evidence we have of how brain activity relates to phonetic information changes over time in response to continuous speech.” Previously, studies have relied on comparing the responses to nonsense syllables, like “ bif ” and “ bof ” instead. “We believe that rhythmic information is the hidden glue underpinning (巩固) the development of a well-functioning language system,” said Cambridge neuroscientist, Professor Goswami. “Infants can use rhythmic information like a scaffold or skeleton to add phonetic information on to. For example, they might learn that the rhythm pattern of English words is typically strong-weak, as in ‘daddy’ or ‘mummy’, with the stress on the first syllable. They can use this rhythm pattern to guess where one word ends and another begins when listening to natural speech.” Goswami says that there is a long history in trying to explain dyslexia (阅读障碍) and developmental language disorder in terms of phonetic problems, but the evidence doesn’t add up. She believes that individual differences in children’s language originate with rhythm. 8. What is the key to babies language learning according to the new study? A. Nonsense syllables. B. Phonetic information. C. Rhythmic information. D. Parent-kid interaction. 9 What does the underlined phrase “add up” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Exist. B. Expand. C. Seem reasonable. D. Seem formal. 10. What does Giovanni Di Liberto think of the new study? A. It is meaningful. B. It missed adult participants out. C. It needs further investigation. D. Its result proved the previous assumption. 11. What can be concluded from the study? A. It’s better for parents to use baby talk. B. Singing to babies may help them learn a language. C. It’s essential for babies to be exposed to phonetic information. D. Dyslexia results from poor response to continuous speech. D Scientists from Tufts University have developed tiny groups of human cells that can move on their own-and in a lab experiment, these so-called “anthrobots” inspired sheets of human neurons to repair themselves when damaged. The researchers hope the collections of cells could one day be used to treat diseases or aid with healing in humans. The study comes on the heels of earlier work from one of its authors, who produced tiny robots by stitching together frog embryo cells. These robots, known as “xenobots”, could assemble themselves, move across surfaces and travel through liquid. Since they're not made from human cells, xenobots can't be used to treat humans, writes Matthew Hutson, a freelance science writer. But the anthrobots in the new study could theoretically. Each anthrobot started with a single cell from an adult human lung. It then grew into a multicellular biobot after being cultured (培养) for two weeks. These lung cells are covered in cilia. But at this point in the research, the cilia were growing inside the clumps of cells. So, for the next week, the researchers grew the cells in a solution (溶液) that caused the cilia to face outward instead, enabling these structures to move the anthrobots, which could move in tight loops, travel in straight lines or wiggle in place. Their speed varied as well. The researchers also tested how these robots might heal wounds. They mimicked (模拟) a wound by scratching a layer of neurons in a dish. Then, they introduced anthrobots to the site of the scratch, and within days, the neurons regrew, bridging the gap created by the wound. The findings show new structures that might have uses in biomedical settings can be developed without gene editing and without having to design the structures manually, the study authors write. “Unlike xenobots, anthrobots don't require tools to give them shape, and we can use adult cells-even cells from elderly patients-instead of embryonic cells,” says Gizem Gumuskaya, the paper's lead author. "We can produce these robots in large amounts in parallel, which is a good start for developing a therapeutic tool.” 12. How are the advantages of the anthrobot highlighted in the text? A. By showing comments from users. B. By explaining some terms. C. By making comparisons. D. By listing the data of questionnaires. 13. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The weaknesses of the anthrobot. B. The culture of the anthrobot. C. The structure of the anthrobot. D. The application of the anthrobot. 14. What is the feature of the anthrobot? A. It can travel both on land and in water. B. It requires no genetic modification. C. It can be applied in a controlled way. D. It can develop from any cells of humans. 15. What can the study benefit? A. Regenerative medicine. B. New materials. C. Environmental protection. D. Individualized education. 第二节　(共5小题;每小题2.5分, 满分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。 There is no single type of exercise that can take care of all your needs. ___16___ Otherwise, it’s like a diet consisting only of fruit — healthful as far as it goes, but lacking a lot of the nutrients you’ll find in other foods, such as fish, vegetables, nuts, and whole grains.  So what does a balanced exercise plan consist of? The Physical Activity Guidelines urge all adults to include the following types of exercise in their weekly routines: Often called cardio or endurance activities, aerobic (有氧的) activities are great for burning calories and cutting down unwanted fat. ___17___ Think of walking, biking, running, and swimming, for example.  Strength resistance training, which typically employs equipment such as weight machines, free weights, resistance bands or tubing, protects against bone loss and builds muscles. It also improves your body’s ratio of lean muscle mass to fat. ___18___ Our sense of balance typically worsens as we age. It can be further weakened by medical conditions that can cause pain, and numbness in the feet. ___19___ Strength training exercises that work core muscles in your abdomen and back also help with balance.  Each workout should also include a simple warm-up at the beginning and a cool-down at the end. The warm-up should consist of gentle exercise, such as marching in place, to loosen up your muscles and get more oxygen-rich blood flowing to them. ___20___ A. Actually, to get most benefits from your routine, you need a mix of activities. B. To cool down, slow your activity for 5 — 10 minutes, and then finish with stretches. C. As you work towards improving balance, a medical alert system may help. D. A well-stretched muscle more easily achieves its full range of motion. E. They consist of activities that make the heart and lungs work harder. F. Balance-enhancing activities include tai chi, yoga, and Pilates. G. It, too, deserves an important place in your exercise routine. 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、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 On a recent Sunday morning jog through Prospect Park, Martinus Evans was received like a conquering champion.

Every day, she would sit by her window, watching the world go by. Next to her house lived an eight-year-old boy named Sam. Sam seemed to be always busy. He would go to school, come home, do his homework, and then rush off to his part-time job at a local flower store. He was saving up to buy a new bike for traveling to and from school and his part-time job. His parents struggled with money, so Sam wanted to offer his help any way he could. One day, Mrs Thompson noticed that Sam seemed sad. She called him over and asked, “You seem to be unhappy. What’s wrong, dear? Is everything okay at school? Do you need help with any of your homework?” Sam hesitated, and then said, “I have a big test coming up, but I don’t have time to study. I have to work part-time at that flower store every day after school.” Mrs Thompson thought for a moment. “How about this?” she offered. “I can help you. Come over after school, and I’ll watch over you while you study. I can even make some snacks for you.” Sam’s eyes lit up. “Really? That would be very amazing, Mrs Thompson!” And so, it began. Every day after school, Sam would come over to Mrs Thompson’s house. She would prepare some delicious cookies or a sandwich for him, and quietly, he would sit at her old wooden table and study. Mrs Thompson would knit or read a book, occasionally helping Sam with a tough question. As the days went by, Sam’s grades improved gradually. He and Mrs Thompson became close friends. They would talk about everything—from his dreams of going to college to her memories of her youth. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 One day, Sam came home from his job to find a new bike waiting for him. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Years passed, and Sam went off to college. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高三英语 本试卷共150分　考试时间120分钟 注意事项: 1.答卷前,考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时,选出每小题答案后,用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动,用橡皮擦干净后,再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时,将答案写在答题卡上,写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后,将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分　听力(共两节,满分30分) 第一节　(共5小题;每小题1.5分,满分7.5分) 听下面5 段对话。每段对话后有一个小题,从题中所给的 A、B、C 三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后,你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.What does the girl think of her mother?

(我们还把这次活动称为‘爸爸甜甜圈’，目的是让更多的父亲参与进来)”可推知，Opening Weeks被称为Doughnuts for Dad(爸爸的甜甜圈)，其目的是为了提高父亲的参与度。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Native American Museum Night中“The students prepare projects related to a tribe of their choices. Those projects integrate history with language arts, communication, and presentation skills. (学生们准备与他们选择的部落相关的项目。这些项目将历史与语言艺术、交流和表达技巧结合起来)”可知，Native American Museum Night的主题是当地文化。故选C项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Holiday Spectacular中“Meanwhile, the local nursing homes or homeless shelters will be considered. Take the show on the road and share the good will. A cash donation that will be turned over to the local organizations is also a good choice. (与此同时，当地的养老院或无家可归者收容所也将被考虑。在路上表演，分享善意。将现金捐赠转交给当地组织也是一个不错的选择)”可知，学生可以在Holiday Spectacular期间做些慈善工作。故选B项。 B More than four decades ago, I attended Centennial Elementary School in Lawrence, Kansas, where Mrs Bailey, my first-grade teacher, left a permanent mark. She was an example of grace — silvered hair framing a face that showed both firmness and kindness. Her patience was inexhaustible, her behaviour grandmotherly, yet when it was time for work, she tolerated no nonsense, setting the tone for our educational journey. However, it was a citywide celebration that truly exhibited Mrs Bailey’s exceptional character.

He stayed with us while she went back into her office, and she reappeared a couple minutes later in a frontier-style dress! She explained that she had called her retired husband and asked him to bring the costume. Her thoughtful gesture erased my sense of embarrassment, replacing it with gratitude and belonging. We moved away from Kansas two years later, and I still regret that I never told Mrs Bailey how much I appreciated what she did for me. I’ve always been grateful to the teacher who went out of her way, and even turned to her husband for help, to keep a little girl from feeling out of place. I had a large number of wonderful, caring teachers throughout the years, but Mrs Bailey has always held a special place in my heart. 4. Why did Mrs Bailey get her dress changed? A. To deliver an opening speech. B. To attend a citywide celebration. C. To set the pace in school fashion. D. To relieve the author’s unease. 5. What is the author’s regret? A. Wearing a pioneer-style dress alone. B. Not expressing gratitude to Mrs Bailey. C. Giving up the dress her mother made for her. D. Leaving without saying goodbye to Mrs Bailey. 6. What can best describe Mrs Bailey? A. Considerate and strict. B. Energetic and honest. C. Modest and tolerant. D. Determined and humorous. 7. What can be the best title for the text? A. A fashion show — a turning point B. The first impression of my teacher C. Mrs Bailey — pioneer of kindness D. A fancy dress made by my mother 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文回忆了作者小学时因穿复古服装感到尴尬，而老师Bailey夫人特意换上类似服装来安慰她的感人故事，展现了教师的体贴与善良。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Mrs Bailey, recognizing my discomfort, showered me with praise about my dress. (Bailey夫人看出了我的不自在，对我的衣服大加赞赏)”和第四段中“She explained that she had called her retired husband and asked him to bring the costume. Her thoughtful gesture erased my sense of embarrassment, replacing it with gratitude and belonging. (她解释说，她已经打电话给退休的丈夫，让他把服装带来。她体贴的举动消除了我的尴尬感，取而代之的是感激和归属感)”可知，Bailey夫人换衣服是为了缓解作者的不安。故选D项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“We moved away from Kansas two years later, and I still regret that I never told Mrs Bailey how much I appreciated what she did for me.(两年后，我们离开了堪萨斯。我至今仍感到遗憾的是，我从未告诉Bailey夫人我是多么感激她为我所做的一切)”可知，作者后悔从未告诉Bailey夫人自己有多么感激她。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“She was an example of grace — silvered hair framing a face that showed both firmness and kindness. Her patience was inexhaustible, her behaviour grandmotherly, yet when it was time for work, she tolerated no nonsense, setting the tone for our educational journey. (她是优雅的典范——银发衬托着一张既坚毅又慈祥的面庞。她的耐心永不枯竭，举止如同祖母般慈爱，但一到学习时间，她便不容半点胡闹，为我们的求学之路奠定了基调)”和第四段中“She explained that she had called her retired husband and asked him to bring the costume. Her thoughtful gesture erased my sense of embarrassment, replacing it with gratitude and belonging. (她解释说，她已经打电话给退休的丈夫，让他把服装带来。她体贴的举动消除了我的尴尬感，取而代之的是感激和归属感)”可知，Bailey夫人在学习上对学生要求严格，但在注意到作者的尴尬后，会特意换上类似的服装来安慰她。因此，她既体贴也非常严格。故选A项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段中“I had a large number of wonderful, caring teachers throughout the years, but Mrs Bailey has always held a special place in my heart.(这些年来，我有很多优秀、体贴的老师，但Bailey夫人一直在我心中占据着一个特殊的位置)”可知，文章主要讲述Bailey夫人如何用善意的换装举动帮助作者缓解尴尬，展现了她作为教师的关怀。因此，C项“Bailey夫人——善意的先驱”契合文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选C项。 C Phonetic (语音的) information — the smallest sound elements of speech, typically represented by the alphabet (字母) — is considered by many linguists (语音学家) to be the foundation of language. Infants (婴儿) are thought to learn these small sound elements and add them together to make words. But a new study suggests that phonetic information is learnt too late and slowly for this to be the case. Instead, rhythmic (节奏的) information helps babies learn language by emphasizing the boundaries of individual words and is effective even in the first few months of life. Researchers from the University of Cambridge and Trinity College Dublin investigated babies’ ability to process phonetic information during their first year. The study found that phonetic information wasn’t successfully encoded (编码) until babies were seven months old, and was still rare for babies at 11 months old when they began to say their first words. A sister study has shown that rhythmic information was processed by babies at two months old — and individual differences predicted later language outcomes. Professor Giovanni Di Liberto said, “This is the first evidence we have of how brain activity relates to phonetic information changes over time in response to continuous speech.” Previously, studies have relied on comparing the responses to nonsense syllables, like “ bif ” and “ bof ” instead. “We believe that rhythmic information is the hidden glue underpinning (巩固) the development of a well-functioning language system,” said Cambridge neuroscientist, Professor Goswami. “Infants can use rhythmic information like a scaffold or skeleton to add phonetic information on to. For example, they might learn that the rhythm pattern of English words is typically strong-weak, as in ‘daddy’ or ‘mummy’, with the stress on the first syllable. They can use this rhythm pattern to guess where one word ends and another begins when listening to natural speech.” Goswami says that there is a long history in trying to explain dyslexia (阅读障碍) and developmental language disorder in terms of phonetic problems, but the evidence doesn’t add up. She believes that individual differences in children’s language originate with rhythm. 8. What is the key to babies language learning according to the new study? A. Nonsense syllables. B. Phonetic information. C. Rhythmic information. D. Parent-kid interaction. 9 What does the underlined phrase “add up” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Exist. B. Expand. C. Seem reasonable. D. Seem formal. 10. What does Giovanni Di Liberto think of the new study? A. It is meaningful. B. It missed adult participants out. C. It needs further investigation. D. Its result proved the previous assumption. 11. What can be concluded from the study? A. It’s better for parents to use baby talk. B. Singing to babies may help them learn a language. C. It’s essential for babies to be exposed to phonetic information. D. Dyslexia results from poor response to continuous speech. 【答案】8. C 9. C 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了婴儿学习语言的关键在于节奏信息，而非语音信息。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“But a new study suggests that phonetic information is learnt too late and slowly for this to be the case. Instead, rhythmic (节奏的) information helps babies learn language by emphasizing the boundaries of individual words and is effective even in the first few months of life. (但一项新的研究表明，语音信息的学习太迟，而且速度太慢，因此情况并非如此。相反，节奏信息通过强调单词的边界帮助婴儿学习语言，甚至在生命的最初几个月就有效)”可知，新的研究认为婴儿学习语言的关键是节奏信息。故选C。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章最后一段中的“Goswami says that there is a long history in trying to explain dyslexia (阅读障碍) and developmental language disorder in terms of phonetic problems, but the evidence (Goswami说，有很长的历史试图用语音问题来解释阅读障碍和语言发展障碍，但证据并不)”和“She believes that individual differences in children’s language originate with rhythm. (她认为，儿童语言的个体差异源于节奏)”可知，有很长的历史试图用语音问题来解释阅读障碍和语言发展障碍，但证据并不合理。故add up在此处的意思是“看起来合理”。A. Exist存在；B. Expand扩大；C. Seem reasonable看起来很合理；D. Seem formal看起来很正式。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“Professor Giovanni Di Liberto said, “This is the first evidence we have of how brain activity relates to phonetic information changes over time in response to continuous speech.” (Giovanni Di Liberto教授说，“这是我们首次得到的证据，说明大脑活动如何随着时间的推移与连续语音中的语音信息变化有关。”)”可知，Giovanni Di Liberto认为这项新研究是有意义的。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的“Instead, rhythmic (节奏的) information helps babies learn language by emphasizing the boundaries of individual words and is effective even in the first few months of life. (相反，节奏信息通过强调单词的边界帮助婴儿学习语言，甚至在生命的最初几个月就有效)”可知，对婴儿唱歌可能有助于他们学习语言，因为唱歌中的节奏信息可以帮助他们理解和学习语言。故选B。 D Scientists from Tufts University have developed tiny groups of human cells that can move on their own-and in a lab experiment, these so-called “anthrobots” inspired sheets of human neurons to repair themselves when damaged. The researchers hope the collections of cells could one day be used to treat diseases or aid with healing in humans. The study comes on the heels of earlier work from one of its authors, who produced tiny robots by stitching together frog embryo cells. These robots, known as “xenobots”, could assemble themselves, move across surfaces and travel through liquid. Since they're not made from human cells, xenobots can't be used to treat humans, writes Matthew Hutson, a freelance science writer. But the anthrobots in the new study could theoretically. Each anthrobot started with a single cell from an adult human lung. It then grew into a multicellular biobot after being cultured (培养) for two weeks. These lung cells are covered in cilia. But at this point in the research, the cilia were growing inside the clumps of cells. So, for the next week, the researchers grew the cells in a solution (溶液) that caused the cilia to face outward instead, enabling these structures to move the anthrobots, which could move in tight loops, travel in straight lines or wiggle in place. Their speed varied as well. The researchers also tested how these robots might heal wounds. They mimicked (模拟) a wound by scratching a layer of neurons in a dish. Then, they introduced anthrobots to the site of the scratch, and within days, the neurons regrew, bridging the gap created by the wound. The findings show new structures that might have uses in biomedical settings can be developed without gene editing and without having to design the structures manually, the study authors write. “Unlike xenobots, anthrobots don't require tools to give them shape, and we can use adult cells-even cells from elderly patients-instead of embryonic cells,” says Gizem Gumuskaya, the paper's lead author. "We can produce these robots in large amounts in parallel, which is a good start for developing a therapeutic tool.” 12. How are the advantages of the anthrobot highlighted in the text? A. By showing comments from users. B. By explaining some terms. C. By making comparisons. D. By listing the data of questionnaires. 13. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The weaknesses of the anthrobot. B. The culture of the anthrobot. C. The structure of the anthrobot. D. The application of the anthrobot. 14. What is the feature of the anthrobot? A. It can travel both on land and in water. B. It requires no genetic modification. C. It can be applied in a controlled way. D. It can develop from any cells of humans. 15. What can the study benefit? A. Regenerative medicine. B. New materials. C. Environmental protection. D. Individualized education. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了塔夫茨大学的科学家们研发出了一种可以自我移动的人体细胞群体——“anthrobots”，并希望这些细胞群体有朝一日能用于治疗疾病或帮助人体愈合。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Scientists from Tufts University have developed tiny groups of human cells that can move on their own-and in a lab experiment, these so-called “anthrobots” inspired sheets of human neurons to repair themselves when damaged.”（塔夫茨大学的科学家们研发出了一种可以自我移动的人体细胞群体——anthrobots，在实验室实验中，这些所谓的anthrobots激发了人类神经元的自我修复能力）和第六段“Unlike xenobots, anthrobots don't require tools to give them shape, and we can use adult cells-even cells from elderly patients-instead of embryonic cells,”（与xenobots不同，anthrobots不需要工具来塑造它们的形状，我们可以使用成人细胞——甚至是老年患者的细胞——而不是胚胎细胞）可知，文章通过比较anthrobots和xenobots的不同，突出了anthrobots的优点。故选C。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第四段“These lung cells are covered in cilia. But at this point in the research, the cilia were growing inside the clumps of cells. So, for the next week, the researchers grew the cells in a solution that caused the cilia to face outward instead, enabling these structures to move the anthrobots, which could move in tight loops, travel in straight lines or wiggle in place. Their speed varied as well.”（这些肺细胞被纤毛覆盖。但在研究的这个阶段，纤毛在细胞团中生长。因此，在接下来的一周，研究人员在一种溶液中培养细胞，使纤毛向外，使这些结构能够移动人类机器人，它们可以在紧密的环中移动，在直线上移动或在原地摆动。它们的速度也各不相同。）可知，第四段主要讲述了anthrobots的培养过程。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“The findings show new structures that might have uses in biomedical settings can be developed without gene editing and without having to design the structures manually, the study authors write.”（研究作者写道，这些发现表明，新的结构可以在不进行基因编辑和不需要手动设计结构的情况下，用于生物医学设置。）可知，anthrobot的特点是不需要进行基因修改，故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Scientists from Tufts University have developed tiny groups of human cells that can move on their own-and in a lab experiment, these so-called “anthrobots” inspired sheets of human neurons to repair themselves when damaged.”（塔夫茨大学的科学家们研发出了一种可以自我移动的人体细胞群体——anthrobots，并在实验中激发了人类神经元的自我修复能力。）可知，这项研究使再生医学受益。故选A项。 第二节　(共5小题;每小题2.5分, 满分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。 There is no single type of exercise that can take care of all your needs. ___16___ Otherwise, it’s like a diet consisting only of fruit — healthful as far as it goes, but lacking a lot of the nutrients you’ll find in other foods, such as fish, vegetables, nuts, and whole grains.  So what does a balanced exercise plan consist of? The Physical Activity Guidelines urge all adults to include the following types of exercise in their weekly routines: Often called cardio or endurance activities, aerobic (有氧的) activities are great for burning calories and cutting down unwanted fat. ___17___ Think of walking, biking, running, and swimming, for example.  Strength resistance training, which typically employs equipment such as weight machines, free weights, resistance bands or tubing, protects against bone loss and builds muscles. It also improves your body’s ratio of lean muscle mass to fat. ___18___ Our sense of balance typically worsens as we age. It can be further weakened by medical conditions that can cause pain and numbness in the feet. ___19___ Strength training exercises that work core muscles in your abdomen and back also help with balance.  Each workout should also include a simple warm-up at the beginning and a cool-down at the end. The warm-up should consist of gentle exercise, such as marching in place, to loosen up your muscles and get more oxygen-rich blood flowing to them. ___20___ A. Actually, to get most benefits from your routine, you need a mix of activities. B. To cool down, slow your activity for 5 — 10 minutes, and then finish with stretches. C. As you work towards improving balance, a medical alert system may help. D. A well-stretched muscle more easily achieves its full range of motion. E. They consist of activities that make the heart and lungs work harder. F. Balance-enhancing activities include tai chi, yoga, and Pilates. G. It, too, deserves an important place in your exercise routine. 【答案】16. A 17. E 18. G 19. F 20. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了如何制订均衡的锻炼计划。 【16题详解】 根据上文“There is no single type of exercise that can take care of all your needs.(没有一种运动可以满足你的所有需求)”以及后文“Otherwise, it’s like a diet consisting only of fruit — healthful as far as it goes, but lacking a lot of the nutrients you’ll find in other foods, such as fish, vegetables, nuts, and whole grains.(否则，它就像一个只包含水果的饮食——到目前为止是健康的，但缺乏很多你在其他食物中发现的营养，比如鱼、蔬菜、坚果和全谷物)”可知，上文提到没有一种锻炼方式可以满足你所有的需要，下文提到均衡饮食的重要性。由此可知，此处最可能提到如均衡饮食一样，锻炼方式也要多样化。故A选项“事实上，为了从日常生活中获得最大的好处，你需要多种多样的活动”符合语境，故选A。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Often called cardio or endurance activities, aerobic (有氧的) activities are great for burning calories and cutting down unwanted fat.(有氧运动通常被称为有氧运动或耐力运动，对燃烧卡路里和减少不必要的脂肪很有帮助)”可知，本句承接上文，继续说明有氧运动的作用。故E选项“它们包括使心脏和肺更努力工作的活动”符合语境，故选E。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Strength resistance training, which typically employs equipment such as weight machines, free weights, resistance bands or tubing, protects against bone loss and builds muscles. It also improves your body’s ratio of lean muscle mass to fat.(力量阻力训练，通常使用器械，如举重机，自由重量，阻力带或管道，防止骨质流失和建立肌肉。它还能提高你身体的瘦肌肉与脂肪的比例)”可知，该空所在段说明了第二种锻炼方式，上文提到了力量训练的好处，因此此处最可能表明力量训练值得被加入锻炼计划中。故G选项“它也应该在你的日常锻炼中占有重要的位置”符合语境，故选G。 【19题详解】 根据后文“Strength training exercises that work core muscles in your abdomen and back also help with balance.(锻炼腹部和背部核心肌肉的力量训练也有助于平衡)”可知，后文提到了有助于平衡，推测本句是在列举增强平衡的活动。故F选项“增强平衡的活动包括太极拳、瑜伽和普拉提”符合语境，故选F。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Each workout should also include a simple warm-up at the beginning and a cool-down at the end. The warm-up should consist of gentle exercise, such as marching in place, to loosen up your muscles and get more oxygen-rich blood flowing to them.(每次锻炼还应该包括开始时的简单热身和结束时的冷却。热身应该包括温和的运动，比如原地踏步，放松你的肌肉，让更多富氧的血液流向它们)”可知，上文提到了热身运动，本句为本段最后一句，故应该说明结束运动。故B选项“为了冷静下来，放慢运动速度5 - 10分钟，然后以伸展运动结束”符合语境，故选B。 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、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 On a recent Sunday morning jog through Prospect Park, Martinus Evans was received like a conquering champion.

Unfortunately 44. a 45. recognition 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了周健博士与Ian Frazer教授合作研发了HPV疫苗的关键技术，其发明的病毒样颗粒成为Gardasil和Cervarix疫苗的基础，为全球宫颈癌防治作出重大贡献。 【36题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：周健博士是一位分子生物学家和病毒学家，他与Ian Frazer教授合作开发了Gardasil和Cervarix疫苗的技术，这些疫苗可预防导致宫颈癌的病毒。空处引导非限制性定语从句，对先行词the Gardasil and Cervarix vaccines作补充说明，先行词指物，在从句中作主语，应用关系代词which作引导词。故填which。 【37题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：周健出生于中国杭州，毕业于温州医学院，随后继续攻读浙江医科大学的硕士学位。go on to do是固定短语，表示“继续做另一件事”，符合句意，因此空处应用obtain“获得，取得”的不定式形式。故填to obtain。 【38题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：他在河南医科大学攻读博士学位，并于1987年完成学业。句子主干成分完整，空处为非谓语，complete“完成”和He逻辑上是主动关系，因此用complete的现在分词形式，作状语。故填completing。 【39题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：1990年，周健对人类乳头瘤病毒（HPV）的研究兴趣促使他前往澳大利亚，加入昆士兰大学的Frazer教授免疫与癌症研究中心。空处作句子的谓语，根据“in 1990”可知，此处在叙述过去发生的事情，时态应用一般过去时。故填brought。 【40题详解】 考查动词时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：几乎所有宫颈癌均由HPV引起，而当时人们认为，针对HPV的疫苗可能有效。空处作句子的谓语，结合上下文可知，此处在叙述过去发生的事情，时态应用一般过去时，believe“相信，认为”和形式主语it之间是被动关系，应用被动语态，且主语是it，be动词应用was。故填was believed。 【41题详解】 考查连词。句意：这种疫苗需要一种能刺激对病毒的免疫反应、但不会引发感染的颗粒。根据“would stimulate an immune response to the virus”和“without causing an infection”可知，“刺激免疫反应”与“不引发感染”存在转折关系，因此用连词but。故填but。 【42题详解】 考查介词。句意：1990年，他与妻子共同努力，成功创造出一种病毒样颗粒，如今成为Gardasil和Cervarix疫苗的基础。名词basis后常跟介词for，表示“以……作为基础”。故填for。 【43题详解】 考查副词。句意：不幸的是，周健于1999年去世，年仅42岁。空处修饰整个句子，副词unfortunately符合题意，意为“不幸地”，句首单词的首字母需大写。故填Unfortunately。 【44题详解】 考查冠词。句意：他的工作对全球人类健康产生了巨大影响。空处表示泛指，应用不定冠词，限定名词impact，且huge的发音以辅音音素开头，应用a。故填a。 【45题详解】 考查名词。句意：为此，澳大利亚健康与医学科学院欣然设立奖项，以表彰周健博士的贡献。in recognition of是固定短语，意为“以表彰……”。故填recognition。 第四部分　写作(共两节,满分 40 分) 第一节　(满分 15 分) 46. 假定你是李华，你班英语老师最近决定采用全英文教学，你认为这个决定不太妥当。请你给英语老师写一封邮件，内容包括： 1.说明问题； 2.提出建议。 注意： 1.写作词数应80个左右； 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Dear Ms Wang, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours sincerely, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Ms Wang, I'm writing to express my concern over your recent decision to switch to full English instruction in English class.

Every day, she would sit by her window, watching the world go by. Next to her house lived an eight-year-old boy named Sam. Sam seemed to be always busy. He would go to school, come home, do his homework, and then rush off to his part-time job at a local flower store. He was saving up to buy a new bike for traveling to and from school and his part-time job. His parents struggled with money, so Sam wanted to offer his help any way he could. One day, Mrs Thompson noticed that Sam seemed sad. She called him over and asked, “You seem to be unhappy. What’s wrong, dear? Is everything okay at school? Do you need help with any of your homework?” Sam hesitated and then said, “I have a big test coming up, but I don’t have time to study. I have to work part-time at that flower store every day after school.” Mrs Thompson thought for a moment. “How about this?” she offered. “I can help you. Come over after school, and I’ll watch over you while you study. I can even make some snacks for you.” Sam’s eyes lit up. “Really? That would be very amazing, Mrs Thompson!” And so, it began. Every day after school, Sam would come over to Mrs Thompson’s house. She would prepare some delicious cookies or a sandwich for him, and quietly, he would sit at her old wooden table and study. Mrs Thompson would knit or read a book, occasionally helping Sam with a tough question. As the days went by, Sam’s grades improved gradually. He and Mrs Thompson became close friends. They would talk about everything—from his dreams of going to college to her memories of her youth. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 One day, Sam came home from his job to find a new bike waiting for him. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Years passed, and Sam went off to college. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: One day, Sam came home from his job to find a new bike waiting for him. He was shocked. “Who bought this?” he asked his parents. His mother smiled, “Mrs Thompson gave it to you. She said you deserved it for all your hard work.” Sam rushed over to thank her. “Why did you do it?” he asked. Mrs Thompson smiled, her eyes warm. “I’ve watched you work so hard, Sam. You reminded me of my own grandchildren I just wanted to help.” Sam hugged her tightly, tears in his eyes. “Thank you,” he whispered. Years passed, and Sam went off to college. But he never forgot Mrs Thompson’s kindness. He would visit her during his holidays, bringing her gifts and telling her about his college life. One day, he came home with a big surprise. “I’ve been offered a job in the best hospital in the city!” he said joyfully. “And it’s all thanks to you, Mrs Thompson.” She smiled, pride shining in her eyes. “I always knew you could do it.” Sam became a successful doctor, but he always made time for Mrs Thompson. He took care of her in her old age, ensuring her good health with his medical knowledge. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了七十多岁老人Thompson夫人和八岁男孩Sam之间的温暖友谊。Thompson夫人独居在老房子里，孩子和孙子们都住在遥远的大城市，她每天坐在窗边看世界流逝。而Sam是一个忙碌的孩子，为了攒钱买自行车往返学校和兼职工作。一天，Thompson夫人发现Sam似乎心情不好，于是提出帮助他学习。他们之间建立起亲密友谊，通过Thompson夫人的帮助，Sam的成绩逐渐提高，两人之间有了深厚的交流和分享。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“一天，Sam下班回家，发现一辆新自行车在等着他”可知，第一段可描写Sam从父母那里得知自行车是Thompson夫人买的，Thompson夫人告知他为他买车的缘由，Sam表示感谢。 ②由第二段首句内容“几年过去了，Sam去上大学了”可知，第二段可描写Sam仍然和Thompson夫人保持着友谊，时常回来陪伴她，以及Sam后来成功找到工作，能用自己的能力回报Thompson夫人的恩情。 2. 续写线索：出现新自行车——Sam得知购买者——Sam感谢Thompson夫人——Sam去上大学——Sam和Thompson夫人保持着友谊——Sam回报Thompson夫人 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①冲，奔：rush/run/dash ②帮助：help/assist ③拥抱：hug/embrace ④低语：whisper/murmur/mutter ⑤照顾：take care of/look after 情绪类 ①震惊的：shocked/astonished/stunned ②高兴地：joyfully/happily/cheerfully 【点睛】[高分句型1] You reminded me of my own grandchildren I just wanted to help.
