I was 11 years old and knew absolutely nothing about this cruising (海上航游) lifestyle my father had been speaking so highly of for the previous five years. The only thing I knew for sure was that I didn’t want to leave my home. My father was excited, my mother nervous, my brother disinterested, and I sullen. I was not at all eager about this change in my lifestyle. The first three months on the boat had not been very easy. What my dad called an adjustment period I called a nightmare. But, after three months of traveling, we had a lucky break. In La Paz, there was another cruising boat with a 13-year-old boy aboard. Two weeks later, Glen and I could be seen endlessly boogie boarding (趴板冲浪) the crashing waves to the beach. After meeting Glen, cruising for me began to get better and better. At some point during these months, I decided to give this cruising idea a chance. One year later, we continued touring through the South Pacific. I was learning new skills and learning how to work independently. I often took a five-hour watch during the dark hours of long passages. This was quite a bit of responsibility to hand over to a 13-year-old, especially considering I was in charge of adjusting sails as the conditions changed, and keeping an eye and ear out for any problems. Almost everybody in the cruising community treated me as an adult while still understanding I was a child, thereby giving me the flexibility to make childish mistakes. As of this writing, my family has now been aboard for three years. We have plans to return to Canada in 12 months and, similar to how I opposed moving onto the boat, I am now completely opposed to moving off it. I have so much fun and learn so many things on this boat that I can’t imagine ever returning “home”, a place I hardly even remember. 4. What does the underlined word “sullen” in the first paragraph probably mean? A. Upset. B. Calm. C. Confused. D. Astonished. 5. What made the author start to embrace the cruising idea? A. Overcoming the fear of nightmares. B. Having fun with someone of his age. C. Learning how to work independently. D. Making a breakthrough in boarding skills. 6. Which of the following words can best describe the author? A. Stubborn but reliable. B. Childish but adaptable. C. Inconsiderate but flexible. D. Dependent but responsible. 7. What can be the best title for the text? A. Benefits of the Cruising Lifestyle B. First Day aboard Island Packet 445 C. What Motivates a Teenager to Change His Lifestyle D. How a Young Sailor Learns to Love the Cruising Life 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了在作者11岁的时候，他的父母购买了一个海岛巡游套餐，全家登上了一艘游船开始了新的生活。起初作者对这种生活方式感到不安和抗拒，但通过与一位同龄的男孩Glen的相识，他开始逐渐适应并享受起这种新的生活。在旅行中，男孩学习了许多新的技能，承担了责任，并被当作成年人对待，最后作者变得舍不得下船回家了。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词的下文“I was not at all eager about this change in my lifestyle. (我一点也不想改变我的生活方式)”可知，作者不想在船上生活，因此此时他会不高兴，sullen意思应该是“不高兴的”，与upset意思相近。故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“In La Paz, there was another cruising boat with a 13-year-old boy aboard. Two weeks later, Glen and I could be seen endlessly boogie boarding (趴板冲浪) the crashing waves to the beach. After meeting Glen, cruising for me began to get better and better. At some point during these months, I decided to give this cruising idea a chance. (在拉巴斯，另一艘游轮上有一名13岁的男孩。两周后，人们看到我和Glen不停地趴板冲浪，乘着汹涌的海浪冲上海滩。遇见Glen之后，对我来说，乘船巡游开始变得越来越好。在这几个月的某个时候，我决定给这个乘船巡游的想法一个机会)”可知，和同龄的Glen玩得开心让作者开始接受乘船游览的想法。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“I was not at all eager about this change in my lifestyle. (我一点也不想改变我的生活方式)”和最后一段中“similar to how I opposed moving onto the boat, I am now completely opposed to moving off it (就像我当初反对上船一样，我现在也完全反对下船)”可知，作者一开始很反感乘船游览，最后又变得舍不得下船，因此是有些孩子气的。再结合第二段中“After meeting Glen, cruising for me began to get better and better. At some point during these months, I decided to give this cruising idea a chance. (遇见Glen之后，对我来说，乘船巡游开始变得越来越好。在这几个月的某个时候，我决定给这个乘船巡游的想法一个机会)”和第三段中“I was learning new skills and learning how to work independently. (我正在学习新的技能，学习如何独立工作)”可知，作者开始逐渐接受在船上生活的方式，还主动学习船上生活的技能。由此推知，他适应能力很强。故选B项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“I was not at all eager about this change in my lifestyle. (我一点也不想改变我的生活方式)”、第二段中“At some point during these months, I decided to give this cruising idea a chance. (在这几个月的某个时候，我决定给这个乘船巡游的想法一个机会)”、第三段中“I was learning new skills and learning how to work independently. I often took a five-hour watch during the dark hours of long passages. (我正在学习新的技能，学习如何独立工作。在漫长的航程中，我经常在黑暗的时刻守望五个小时)”和最后一段中“I have so much fun and learn so many things on this boat that I can’t imagine ever returning “home”, a place I hardly even remember. (我在这艘船上玩得很开心，学到了很多东西，我无法想象自己会回到“家”，一个我几乎不记得的地方)”可知，作者主要叙述了自己的海岛巡游经历，起初作者对这种生活方式感到不安和抗拒，但通过与一位同龄的男孩Glen的相识，他开始逐渐适应并享受起这种新的生活。在旅行中，男孩学习了许多新的技能，承担了责任，并被当作成年人对待，最后作者变得舍不得下船回家了。由此可知，D项“年轻水手如何学会热爱航海生活”概括了作者的这段经历，适合作为文章标题。故选D项。 C Artificial intelligence (AI) technology may soon be a useful tool for doctors. It may help them better understand and treat diseases like breast cancer in ways that were never before possible. Rishi Rawat teaches AI at the University of Southern California’s (USC) Clinical Science Center in Los Angeles. He is part of a team of scientists who are researching how AI and machine learning can more easily recognize cancerous growths in the breast. Rawat provides information about cancer cells to a computer. He says, “This data helps the machine learn. You can put the data into machines and they will learn the patterns and the pattern recognition that is important to making decisions.” David Agus is another USC researcher. He believes that machines are not going to take the place of doctors. He says, “Computers will not treat patients, but they will help make certain decisions and look for things that the human brain can’t recognize by itself.” Once a confirmed cancerous growth is removed, doctors still have to treat the patient to reduce the risk of cancer returning. The form of treatment depends on the kind of cancer. Currently, researchers take a thin piece of tissue, put it on a small piece of glass and add color to better see the cells. That process could take days or even longer. Scientists say AI can do something better than just count cells. Through machine learning, it can recognize complex patterns, or structures, and learn how the cells are organized. The hope is that machines will soon be able to make a quick identification of cancer that is free of human mistakes. Agus adds, “All of a sudden, we have the computing power to really do it in real time. We didn’t have the computing power to do this several years ago, but now it’s all changed.” The USC’s researchers are now only studying breast cancer. But doctors predict AI will one day make a difference in all forms of cancer. 8. What is the key to the learning of AI according to the text? A. The input of data. B. The categories of machines. C. Computers’ recognition ability. D. Scientists’ consistent research. 9. What is the main point of the fourth paragraph? A. Computers will replace doctors in the future. B. Doctors don’t need any help from machines. C. Machines can assist doctors in decision-making. D. David Agus doesn’t believe in the role of machines in medicine. 10. What is the AI’s advantage over traditional methods in cancer identifying? A. It will cost less money. B. It will become more effective. C. It will relieve patients’ suffering. D. It will correct personal mistakes. 11. Which word can best describe the technology? A. Promising. B. Integrated. C. User-friendly. D. Challenging. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了南加州大学科学家研究人工智能及机器学习如何助力识别乳腺癌，指出机器虽不会取代医生但可辅助决策，而且人工智能在癌症识别上有优势，医生预测其未来在癌症治疗方面前景广阔。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中Rawat所说的话“This data helps the machine learn. You can put the data into machines and they will learn the patterns and the pattern recognition that is important to making decisions. (这些数据有助于机器学习。你可以把数据输入机器，它们会学习模式和模式识别，这对决策很重要)”可知，输入的数据帮助机器学习。因此，人工智能学习的关键是数据输入。故选A项。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段中“He believes that machines are not going to take the place of doctors. He says, “Computers will not treat patients, but they will help make certain decisions and look for things that the human brain can’t recognize by itself.” (他认为机器不会取代医生。他说：“计算机不会治疗病人，但它们会帮助做出某些决定，并寻找人类大脑无法识别东西。”)”可知，本段主要说明机器可以在决策方面协助医生。故选C项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“Currently, researchers take a thin piece of tissue, put it on a small piece of glass and add color to better see the cells. That process could take days or even longer. Scientists say AI can do something better than just count cells. Through machine learning, it can recognize complex patterns, or structures, and learn how the cells are organized. (目前，研究人员将一块薄薄的组织放在一小块玻璃上，并添加颜色，以便更好地观察细胞。这个过程可能需要几天甚至更长时间。科学家表示，人工智能可以做得更好，而不仅仅是数细胞的数量。通过机器学习，它可以识别复杂的模式或结构，并了解细胞是如何组织的)”可知，在癌症识别方面，人工智能与传统方法相比的优势在于它将变得更加有效。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Artificial intelligence (AI) technology may soon be a useful tool for doctors. It may help them better understand and treat diseases like breast cancer in ways that were never before possible. (人工智能(AI)技术可能很快就会成为医生的有用工具。这可能会帮助他们以前所未有的方式更好地了解和治疗乳腺癌等疾病)”和最后一段“The USC’s researchers are now only studying breast cancer. But doctors predict AI will one day make a difference in all forms of cancer. (南加州大学的研究人员现在只研究乳腺癌。但医生预测，人工智能总有一天会对所有类型的癌症产生影响)”可知，人工智能技术可能很快可以帮助医生治疗乳腺癌等疾病，且将来会在所有癌症治疗中发挥作用。因此，这项技术很有前景。故选A项。 D Eight hours shovelling snow in -20℃ might not sound like the ideal day out, but a committed team of volunteers in Finland are working dawn to dusk building enormous snow drifts (雪堆) for one of the world’s most endangered seals. The Saimaa ringed seal was once common around Lake Saimaa in the south-east of Finland, but now only 495 of them remain. In the late 1980s the population of the seals decreased to its lowest point, with fewer than 200 left, driven by hunting and deaths caused by fish traps. Accidental deaths in fishing nets remain a challenge. Now, the seals are fully protected but the threat of the climate emergency is worrying. The seals make “snow caves” inside snow drifts where they raise their young and protect them from the elements and predators such as red foxes, but as the climate warms, the snow is disappearing. To save these rare seals 300 volunteers spend days shovelling snow into piles 7m long and 1.5m high around the edge of the frozen lake. “It’s kind of a snow cave,” says Vincent Biard, a PhD student and volunteer from the University of Eastern Finland. “The seals come from under and dig into the snow drifts to create a cave where they can give birth and raise their young.” They get around on foot or skis, dragging their equipment with them over a distance of 10km. Biard describes the day as “kind of fun”, and adds, “you actually have an impact, which is nice. If we don’t do it, then they would just go extinct quite quickly.” More than 300 pups have been born in artificial snowdrifts since they started making them in 2014. “We are on a rising growth curve, so things still look pretty nice,” says Jari Ilmonen, coordinator of Our Saimaa Seal Life, which is an EU-funded programme. “We are doing what we can, so we have to have hope and positive thoughts.” Human-made snow drifts are larger and “more durable than natural snow drifts”, says Ilmonen. “By the first half of February most of the natural ones had melted away, but the manmade ones stood strong.” 12. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. The two functions of snow drifts. B. The threats to the Saimaa ringed seals. C. The big concern about global warming. D. The full recovery of the seals’ population. 13. Which of the following can best describe the work of the volunteers? A. Effective but boring. B. Valuable but impractical. C. Demanding but fulfilling. D. Dangerous but enjoyable. 14. What does Ilmonen say about manmade snow drifts? A. They can help all marine life survive winters. B. They are more comfortable than natural ones. C. They will not melt until the end of the spring. D. They have seen progress in protecting the seals. 15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To celebrate an effort to protect wildlife. B. To introduce one of endangered animals. C. To explain benefits of artificial snowdrifts. D. To raise the awareness of the climate crisis. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了志愿者们为保护世界上最濒危的海豹之一而建造人工雪堆。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。由文章第二段中“The Saimaa ringed seal was once common around Lake Saimaa in the south-east of Finland, but now only 495 of them remain. In the late 1980s the population of the seals decreased to its lowest point, with fewer than 200 left, driven by hunting and deaths caused by fish traps.

The seals make “snow caves” inside snow drifts where they raise their young and protect them from the elements and predators such as red foxes, but as the climate warms, the snow is disappearing. (赛马环斑海豹曾广泛分布在芬兰东南部赛马湖周边，但如今仅存495只。上世纪80年代末，由于捕猎和渔网导致的死亡，海豹数量降至历史最低点，不足200只。渔网中的意外死亡仍然是海豹面临的一大挑战。如今，尽管海豹已受到全面保护，但气候紧急状况带来的威胁仍令人担忧。海豹会在雪堆中建造“雪洞”，在其中养育幼崽，并保护它们免受恶劣天气和诸如红狐等捕食者的伤害。然而，随着气候变暖，积雪正在消失。)”可知，第二段主要讲的是塞马环斑海豹面临的威胁。故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第三段中“To save these rare seals, 300 volunteers spend days shovelling snow into piles 7m long and 1.5m high around the edge of the frozen lake. (为了拯救这些珍稀的海豹，300名志愿者连续数天在结冰的湖泊边缘堆砌起7米长、1.5米高的雪堆。)”以及“Biard describes the day as “kind of fun”, and adds, “you actually have an impact, which is nice. If we don’t do it, then they would just go extinct quite quickly. (比亚尔形容这样的日子“还算有趣”，并补充道：“你能产生影响，这很好。如果我们不这么做，它们很快就会灭绝。)”可知，志愿者们的工作是要求很高但很有成就感。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。由文章最后一段中““We are on a rising growth curve, so things still look pretty nice,” says Jari Ilmonen, coordinator of Our Saimaa Seal Life, which is an EU-funded programme. “We are doing what we can, so we have to have hope and positive thoughts.” Human-made snow drifts are larger and “more durable than natural snow drifts”, says Ilmonen. “By the first half of February most of the natural ones had melted away, but the manmade ones stood strong.” (“我们正在上升的增长曲线上，所以情况看起来还不错，”欧盟资助项目“我们的赛马海豹生活”的协调员雅里·伊尔莫宁说。“我们正在尽我们所能，所以我们必须怀抱希望和积极的想法。”伊尔莫宁说，人工雪堆比自然雪堆更大且“更持久”。“到2月上旬，大部分自然雪堆都已融化，但人工雪堆依然坚固。”)”可知，伊尔莫宁说人造雪堆在保护海豹方面取得了进展。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段中“Eight hours shovelling snow in -20℃ might not sound like the ideal day out, but a committed team of volunteers in Finland are working dawn to dusk building enormous snow drifts (雪堆) for one of the world’s most endangered seals. (在零下20度的环境中连续铲雪八小时听起来或许并不是外出度假的理想选择，但在芬兰，一支热心的志愿者团队从黎明到黄昏不辞辛劳地堆砌着巨大的雪堆，这一切都是为了保护世界上最为濒危的海豹之一。)”可知，以及文章最后一段中“More than 300 pups have been born in artificial snowdrifts since they started making them in 2014. “We are on a rising growth curve, so things still look pretty nice,” says Jari Ilmonen, coordinator of Our Saimaa Seal Life, which is an EU-funded programme. “We are doing what we can, so we have to have hope and positive thoughts.” Human-made snow drifts are larger and “more durable than natural snow drifts”, says Ilmonen. (自2014年开始建造人工雪堆以来，已有超过300只幼崽在人工雪堆中诞生。“我们正在上升的增长曲线上，所以情况看起来还不错，”欧盟资助项目“我们的赛马海豹生活”的协调员雅里·伊尔莫宁说。“我们正在尽我们所能，所以我们必须怀抱希望和积极的想法。”伊尔莫宁说，人工雪堆比自然雪堆更大且“更持久”。)”可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是庆祝保护野生动物的努力。故选A。 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。 The solution to any despair might be hope, experts say. It’s believing in a brighter future and acting towards it. ____16____ Here are strategies that can help cultivate hope. As Hellman, an assistant professor of psychology at Suffolk University in Boston, points out, “Hope begets hope, and it has such a significant protective factor.” ____17____ Make it a point to always be working toward at least one goal that’s meaningful, Hellman advises. In other words, it shouldn’t be something you have to do but something you want to do. “Goals can be anything that’s important to us,” he says. Brainstorm solutions. If you’ve set a goal that’s meaningful to you but you can’t figure out a way to achieve it, you’ll probably feel pretty hopeless. People who are high in hope, meanwhile, tend to generate lots of ways. ____18____ If you’re struggling to make a plan, Hellman suggests sitting down with a pen and paper and giving yourself an hour to brainstorm solutions. Seek out success stories. It’s said that people cultivate hope by seeking support from their parents and specific teachers. But they also got a lot out of learning about other people who have done well for themselves. Hellman says, “____19____” Tap into your imagination. Hellman thinks of imagination as “the instrument of hope”. Let’s say you set a goal for the week. Spend a few minutes reflecting on or talking about what would happen if you achieved it. “How does it impact you, or how would it benefit others?” he says. “____20____ And when you can see yourself in the future, that is the very essence of hope.” A. Do something meaningful. B. It can be taught and nurtured. C. Think in a goal-oriented way. D. With these good examples, people are bound to be successful. E. So, if one doesn’t work out, they have an alternative at the ready. F. By seeing other people succeed, they feel like they could succeed. G. You and I have this wonderful capacity to play a movie in our head. 【答案】16. B 17. C 18. E 19. F 20. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些培养希望的策略。 【16题详解】 根据上文“The solution to any despair might be hope, experts say. It’s believing in a brighter future and acting towards it.

(这里有一些策略可以帮助培养希望。)”可知，本句主要启示后文，指出希望可以被培养，B选项中It对应上文hope。故B选项“它可以被教导和培养。”符合语境，故选B。 【17题详解】 根据后文“Make it a point to always be working toward at least one goal that’s meaningful, Hellman advises. In other words, it shouldn’t be something you have to do but something you want to do. “Goals can be anything that’s important to us,” he says. (海尔曼建议，一定要朝着至少一个有意义的目标努力。换句话说，它不应该是你必须做的事情，而是你想做的事情。“目标可以是任何对我们来说重要的东西，”他说。)”可知，本段的主旨是通过制定目标来采取行动，故C选项“以目标为导向的方式思考。”符合语境，故选C。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Brainstorm solutions. If you’ve set a goal that’s meaningful to you, but you can’t figure out a way to achieve it, you’ll probably feel pretty hopeless. People who are high in hope, meanwhile, tend to generate lots of ways. (头脑风暴的解决方案。如果你设定了一个对你来说很有意义的目标，但你却找不到实现它的方法，你可能会感到非常绝望。与此同时，满怀希望的人往往会想出很多办法。)”可知，本句承接上文，构成因果关系，指出想多很多办法的结果。故E选项“所以，如果一个不成功，他们有另一个选择。”符合语境，故选E。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Seek out success stories. It’s said that people cultivate hope by seeking support from their parents and specific teachers. But they also got a lot out of learning about other people who have done well for themselves. Hellman says, (寻找成功的故事。据说人们通过向父母和特定老师寻求支持来培养希望。但他们也从了解其他为自己做得很好的人中学到了很多。海尔曼说，)”可知，本句主要引用Hellman关于寻找成功事迹的言论和论点，故F选项“看到别人成功，他们觉得自己也能成功。”符合语境，故选F。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Tap into your imagination. Hellman thinks of imagination as “the instrument of hope”. Let’s say you set a goal for the week. Spend a few minutes reflecting on or talking about what would happen if you achieved it. “How does it impact you, or how would it benefit others?” he says. (发挥你的想象力。海尔曼认为想象力是“希望的工具”。假设你为这一周设定了一个目标。花几分钟思考或谈论一下如果你实现了目标会发生什么。“它如何影响你，或者它将如何使他人受益?”他说。)”以及后文“And when you can see yourself in the future, that is the very essence of hope. (当你能看到未来的自己，这就是希望的本质。)”可知，本段的主旨是在大脑中发挥想象力，从而获得希望。故G选项“你和我都有在脑海中播放电影的奇妙能力。”符合语境，故选G。 二、语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题，每小题1分，共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 hot afternoon Rhiannon was driving her old van down the highway.

One day, Ben was playing basketball in the living room after school, when he accidentally threw the ball at a vase sitting on the shelf. The vase dropped to the floor and a large piece broke off. What made Ben more upset was that the vase was not a common decoration but an antique (古董), which was handed down through generations from the 18th century. It was also his mother’s favourite possession. To cover his terrible action, the terrified boy glued the pieces together hurriedly and put the vase back to its place. As the mother herself dusted the vase every day, she naturally noticed the cracks (裂纹) that evening. To her surprise, the repair work was actually very good. At dinner time, she asked her boy if he broke the vase. Fearing punishment, the suddenly inspired boy said that a neighbour’s cat jumped in from the window and he couldn’t drive it away no matter how hard he tried. It raced around the living room and finally knocked the vase off its shelf. His mother was quite clear that her son was lying, for all the windows were closed before she left for work each morning and opened after she returned. However, in the face of her son’s nervous eyes and the suspicious looks of the other family members, Ben’s mother remained calm. She realized she shouldn’t just simply blame and punish her son for lying. She came up with another idea. Before going to bed, the boy found a note from his mother in his room, asking him to go to the study at once. The boy thought he would now be punished but, as he had already lied, he was determined to deny everything to the end, no matter how angry his mum became. In the study, calmly bathed in the light, his mothers face showed no sign of anger. On seeing her son push open the door and cautiously enter, she took a chocolate box out of a drawer and gave him one. 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。 The mother said, “This chocolate is a reward for your imagination: a window-opening cat!” _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Now with some chocolates in hand, the boy’s bad attitude disappeared. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 The mother said, “This chocolate is a reward for your imagination: a window-opening cat!” Though a little stunned, Ben stood straight and defended himself, “Mom, it was the cat! I promise.” Forcing a smile, the mother reached for another chocolate and passed it to the boy. “A reward for your perfect repair.” Staring at the chocolates, the boy hesitated but still continued to deny everything. Before he could say anything, a third chocolate appeared in his hand, with his mom’s soft voice “And this one is for your bravery. You are brave enough to stick to your decision.” Now with some chocolates in hand, the boy’s bad attitude disappeared. It seemed that everything was all at Mom’s fingertips. Speechless, the boy felt a lump in his throat. He lowered his head in shame and stammered out the truth. “Mom, I’m so sorry that I broke your vase and lied to you. I was too terrified because it’s your favourite antique.” Relieved and delighted, the mother cradled him in her arms and whispered, “Good boy… It’s never too late to mend.” With the chocolate box handed to the boy, Mom said delightedly, “These ones are all for your honesty, my boy! Do remember that honesty values more than any antique.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以事件为线索展开，讲述了一个叫作本的男孩把妈妈的古董花瓶打碎了，他为了推脱责任撒谎骗妈妈，但是在妈妈的启发之下勇敢地承认了错误的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“母亲说：“这巧克力是对你想象力的奖励：一只打开窗户的猫！””可知，第一段可描写母亲通过启发的方式让孩子承认错误。 ②由第二段首句内容“现在，手里拿着一些巧克力，男孩的坏态度消失了。”可知，第二段可描写本在母亲的起发下勇敢地承认了错误。 2.续写线索：发现撒谎——谈话启发——本很感动——承认错误——获得谅解 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①修理：repair/mend ②低头：lowered his head/bowed his head ③坚持：stick to/insist on 情绪类 ①感到震惊的：stunned/shocked ②感到高兴的：delighted/pleased 【点睛】 [高分句型1] Forcing a smile, the mother reached for another chocolate and passed it to the boy.（forcing是现在分词作状语） [高分句型2].

B My parents had purchased an Island Packet 445 ten months prior, and the day to board this boat had finally come. I was 11 years old and knew absolutely nothing about this cruising (海上航游) lifestyle my father had been speaking so highly of for the previous five years. The only thing I knew for sure was that I didn’t want to leave my home. My father was excited, my mother nervous, my brother disinterested, and I sullen. I was not at all eager about this change in my lifestyle. The first three months on the boat had not been very easy. What my dad called an adjustment period I called a nightmare. But, after three months of traveling, we had a lucky break. In La Paz, there was another cruising boat with a 13-year-old boy aboard. Two weeks later, Glen and I could be seen endlessly boogie boarding (趴板冲浪) the crashing waves to the beach. After meeting Glen, cruising for me began to get better and better. At some point during these months, I decided to give this cruising idea a chance. One year later, we continued touring through the South Pacific. I was learning new skills and learning how to work independently. I often took a five-hour watch during the dark hours of long passages. This was quite a bit of responsibility to hand over to a 13-year-old, especially considering I was in charge of adjusting sails as the conditions changed, and keeping an eye and ear out for any problems. Almost everybody in the cruising community treated me as an adult while still understanding I was a child, thereby giving me the flexibility to make childish mistakes. As of this writing, my family has now been aboard for three years. We have plans to return to Canada in 12 months and, similar to how I opposed moving onto the boat, I am now completely opposed to moving off it. I have so much fun and learn so many things on this boat that I can’t imagine ever returning “home”, a place I hardly even remember. 4. What does the underlined word “sullen” in the first paragraph probably mean? A. Upset. B. Calm. C. Confused. D. Astonished. 5. What made the author start to embrace the cruising idea? A. Overcoming the fear of nightmares. B. Having fun with someone of his age. C. Learning how to work independently. D. Making a breakthrough in boarding skills. 6. Which of the following words can best describe the author? A. Stubborn but reliable. B. Childish but adaptable. C. Inconsiderate but flexible. D. Dependent but responsible. 7. What can be the best title for the text? A. Benefits of the Cruising Lifestyle B. First Day aboard Island Packet 445 C. What Motivates a Teenager to Change His Lifestyle D. How a Young Sailor Learns to Love the Cruising Life C Artificial intelligence (AI) technology may soon be a useful tool for doctors. It may help them better understand and treat diseases like breast cancer in ways that were never before possible. Rishi Rawat teaches AI at the University of Southern California’s (USC) Clinical Science Center in Los Angeles. He is part of a team of scientists who are researching how AI and machine learning can more easily recognize cancerous growths in the breast. Rawat provides information about cancer cells to a computer. He says, “This data helps the machine learn. You can put the data into machines and they will learn the patterns and the pattern recognition that is important to making decisions.” David Agus is another USC researcher. He believes that machines are not going to take the place of doctors. He says, “Computers will not treat patients, but they will help make certain decisions and look for things that the human brain can’t recognize by itself.” Once a confirmed cancerous growth is removed, doctors still have to treat the patient to reduce the risk of cancer returning. The form of treatment depends on the kind of cancer. Currently, researchers take a thin piece of tissue, put it on a small piece of glass and add color to better see the cells. That process could take days or even longer. Scientists say AI can do something better than just count cells. Through machine learning, it can recognize complex patterns, or structures, and learn how the cells are organized. The hope is that machines will soon be able to make a quick identification of cancer that is free of human mistakes. Agus adds, “All of a sudden, we have the computing power to really do it in real time. We didn’t have the computing power to do this several years ago, but now it’s all changed.” The USC’s researchers are now only studying breast cancer. But doctors predict AI will one day make a difference in all forms of cancer. 8. What is the key to the learning of AI according to the text? A. The input of data. B. The categories of machines. C. Computers’ recognition ability. D. Scientists’ consistent research. 9. What is the main point of the fourth paragraph? A. Computers will replace doctors in the future. B. Doctors don’t need any help from machines. C. Machines can assist doctors in decision-making. D. David Agus doesn’t believe in the role of machines in medicine. 10. What is the AI’s advantage over traditional methods in cancer identifying? A. It will cost less money. B. It will become more effective. C. It will relieve patients’ suffering. D. It will correct personal mistakes. 11. Which word can best describe the technology? A. Promising. B. Integrated. C. User-friendly. D. Challenging. D Eight hours shovelling snow in -20℃ might not sound like the ideal day out, but a committed team of volunteers in Finland are working dawn to dusk building enormous snow drifts (雪堆) for one of the world’s most endangered seals. The Saimaa ringed seal was once common around Lake Saimaa in the south-east of Finland, but now only 495 of them remain. In the late 1980s the population of the seals decreased to its lowest point, with fewer than 200 left, driven by hunting and deaths caused by fish traps. Accidental deaths in fishing nets remain a challenge. Now, the seals are fully protected but the threat of the climate emergency is worrying. The seals make “snow caves” inside snow drifts where they raise their young and protect them from the elements and predators such as red foxes, but as the climate warms, the snow is disappearing. To save these rare seals, 300 volunteers spend days shovelling snow into piles 7m long and 1.5m high around the edge of the frozen lake. “It’s kind of a snow cave,” says Vincent Biard, a PhD student and volunteer from the University of Eastern Finland. “The seals come from under and dig into the snow drifts to create a cave where they can give birth and raise their young.” They get around on foot or skis, dragging their equipment with them over a distance of 10km. Biard describes the day as “kind of fun”, and adds, “you actually have an impact, which is nice. If we don’t do it, then they would just go extinct quite quickly.” More than 300 pups have been born in artificial snowdrifts since they started making them in 2014. “We are on a rising growth curve, so things still look pretty nice,” says Jari Ilmonen, coordinator of Our Saimaa Seal Life, which is an EU-funded programme. “We are doing what we can, so we have to have hope and positive thoughts.” Human-made snow drifts are larger and “more durable than natural snow drifts”, says Ilmonen. “By the first half of February most of the natural ones had melted away, but the manmade ones stood strong.” 12. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. The two functions of snow drifts. B. The threats to the Saimaa ringed seals. C. The big concern about global warming. D. The full recovery of the seals’ population. 13. Which of the following can best describe the work of the volunteers? A. Effective but boring. B. Valuable but impractical. C Demanding but fulfilling. D. Dangerous but enjoyable. 14. What does Ilmonen say about manmade snow drifts? A They can help all marine life survive winters. B. They are more comfortable than natural ones. C. They will not melt until the end of the spring. D. They have seen progress in protecting the seals. 15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To celebrate an effort to protect wildlife. B. To introduce one of endangered animals. C. To explain benefits of artificial snowdrifts. D. To raise the awareness of the climate crisis. 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。 The solution to any despair might be hope, experts say. It’s believing in a brighter future and acting towards it. ____16____ Here are strategies that can help cultivate hope. As Hellman, an assistant professor of psychology at Suffolk University in Boston, points out, “Hope begets hope, and it has such a significant protective factor.” ____17____ Make it a point to always be working toward at least one goal that’s meaningful, Hellman advises. In other words, it shouldn’t be something you have to do but something you want to do. “Goals can be anything that’s important to us,” he says. Brainstorm solutions. If you’ve set a goal that’s meaningful to you, but you can’t figure out a way to achieve it, you’ll probably feel pretty hopeless. People who are high in hope, meanwhile, tend to generate lots of ways. ____18____ If you’re struggling to make a plan, Hellman suggests sitting down with a pen and paper and giving yourself an hour to brainstorm solutions. Seek out success stories. It’s said that people cultivate hope by seeking support from their parents and specific teachers. But they also got a lot out of learning about other people who have done well for themselves. Hellman says, “____19____” Tap into your imagination. Hellman thinks of imagination as “the instrument of hope”. Let’s say you set a goal for the week.

One day, Ben was playing basketball in the living room after school, when he accidentally threw the ball at a vase sitting on the shelf. The vase dropped to the floor and a large piece broke off. What made Ben more upset was that the vase was not a common decoration but an antique (古董), which was handed down through generations from the 18th century. It was also his mother’s favourite possession. To cover his terrible action, the terrified boy glued the pieces together hurriedly and put the vase back to its place. As the mother herself dusted the vase every day, she naturally noticed the cracks (裂纹) that evening. To her surprise, the repair work was actually very good. At dinner time, she asked her boy if he broke the vase. Fearing punishment, the suddenly inspired boy said that a neighbour’s cat jumped in from the window and he couldn’t drive it away no matter how hard he tried. It raced around the living room and finally knocked the vase off its shelf. His mother was quite clear that her son was lying, for all the windows were closed before she left for work each morning and opened after she returned. However, in the face of her son’s nervous eyes and the suspicious looks of the other family members, Ben’s mother remained calm. She realized she shouldn’t just simply blame and punish her son for lying. She came up with another idea. Before going to bed, the boy found a note from his mother in his room, asking him to go to the study at once. The boy thought he would now be punished but, as he had already lied, he was determined to deny everything to the end, no matter how angry his mum became. In the study, calmly bathed in the light, his mothers face showed no sign of anger. On seeing her son push open the door and cautiously enter, she took a chocolate box out of a drawer and gave him one. 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。 The mother said, “This chocolate is a reward for your imagination: a window-opening cat!” _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Now with some chocolates in hand, the boy’s bad attitude disappeared. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
