She’d been listening to the radio and heard an interview with a best-selling author of young adult fantasy novels (奇幻小说). The woman’s name was Tamora Pierce, the same as a young student my mom had taught nearly four decades before. The Internet should be able to tell us. I found the author’s website quickly. She was a popular writer of books. I clicked on the biography link to scan for references to Burlingame Junior High, where my mom had worked, and my heart began to race when I spotted it at the bottom of the first section. Here was confirmation that my mother had taught a now-famous writer! But my eyes came to a stop reading the next paragraph, in which Pierce described writing her first fiction as a sixth grader. “The next year, as I was creating my own stories, my English teacher, Mrs. Jacobson, introduced me to the Lord of the Rings trilogy by J.R.R. Tolkien,” the biography (传记) read. “I got hooked on fantasy, and then on science fiction, and both made their way into my stories.” My mother’s name was Mary Jacobson. Within days, my dad had checked out all the Tamora Pierce books at the local library, and in one we found another surprise: a 1998 novel, which was dedicated (题献词) to “the teacher who shaped my life”. The teacher was Mary Jacobson. The dedication concluded, “A great teacher is above all other treasures.” This story made me see my mom differently. We knew she was a teacher, but we had no idea what kind of teacher she had been. She was just 24 when she taught Pierce. Until 2011, when she passed away, we did know who she was. 24. Why did the mother wear a puzzled look in Paragraph 1? A. The interviewee was a best-selling writer. B. The author visited the parents unexpectedly. C. The interviewee may be her former student. D. The young adult fantasy novels sold so well. 25. What information did the author find about Pierce? A. She suffered a lot to become a writer. B. She preferred fantasy to science fiction. C. She took pride in the author’s mother. D. She was grateful to the author’s mother. 26. Which of the following can best describe Jacobson? A. Devoted and thankful. B. Inspiring and respectable. C. Caring and demanding. D. Considerate and intelligent. 27. What’s the suitable title of the passage? A. Pierce: From a Student Writer to a Fantasy Queen B. My Mother: A Creator of Well-known Writers C. A Woman Writer with Gratitude for Her Teacher D. An Ordinary Teacher Shaping a Famous Writer C We’ve all experienced it: You have important information you need to remember, and you’ll do anything it takes to keep it at the forefront of your brain. In this situation, rote memorization (死记硬背) may be your best — or even your only — option. Rote memorization is when we repeat a piece of information until we remember it. One great example of it is the alphabet (字母表). When we are little, we don’t necessarily understand that our language is composed of the letters A to Z. But we memorize them in a specific order because we are taught to, and then we know the alphabet. There are situations in which rote memorization can be helpful. “Rote memorization can be a useful learning tool in some situations, but its effectiveness depends on the type of information being learned and how it is applied,” says Dr. Aldrich Chan, neuropsychologist. He tells us that rote memorization helps us quickly recall basic facts and information such as vocabulary words or math formulas (公式). This can be particularly helpful in situations where immediate access to information is required, like during exams. The act of memorizing through repetition also has its downsides. Chan notes that “rote memorization often does not promote a deep understanding of the material. Learners may be able to memorize facts or information without truly understanding their meaning or significance.” On the other hand, he explains that “meaningful learning focuses on understanding the fundamental concepts and principles, encouraging critical thinking, and promoting the integration (整合) of knowledge into broader contexts. Meaningful learning promotes long-term memory and the ability to apply knowledge flexibly.” However, both rote memorization and meaningful learning have their place. The most important to keep in mind is that they are different, and rote memorization cannot stand in as an alternative to actual learning. Memorizing something doesn’t mean you understand it, and it doesn’t mean you can do anything with it. 28. How does the author introduce the topic in paragraph 1? A. By giving an example. B. By providing a definition. C. By creating a scene. D. By making a comparison. 29. Why does the author mention the alphabet in paragraph 2? A. To show how rote memorization works. B. To stress why learning in order is important. C. To instruct us how to learn the alphabet. D. To introduce the disadvantages of repetition. 30. What can we learn about rote memorization from Dr. Aldrich Chan? A. It focuses on the concepts and principles. B. It helps promote a meaningful understanding. C. It serves as useful tool for test preparation. D. It keeps knowledge in people's brain for long. 31. What is the author’s attitude towards rote memorization? A. Critical. B. Objective. C. Uninterested. D. Supportive. D In 1921, Karel Čapek’s play R. U. R.: Rossum’s Universal Robots had its first public performance in Prague, and was translated into English the following year. He needed a name for the factory produced humanoid workers of the story, and was thinking of coining something based on the word “labour”. But his brother Josef suggested an old Czech word for “forced labour”, robota. And the word “robot” was born. If the Čapeks had known English, they might have chosen one of the words with relevant senses that were already in the language. “Automaton” had been available since the 17th century and “android” since the 18th. But the clear sound of “robot” seemed to capture the public imagination, because within five years it was being used not only for intelligent artificial beings but for any machine capable of carrying out a complex set of movements. In science fictions(小说), the word took on new life, with writers such as Isaac Asimov writing well-regarded novels in which robots played a central role. It was these writers who first shortened “robot”to“bot”, but none of them could have expected the explosion of usages which arrived in the 1990s, as the shortened word came to be adopted in computing. Today, a bot is any piece of software that runs an automated task, such as in searching the Internet or playing computer games. It has also become a suffix (后缀), with the function of the“bot”explained in the other part of the word, as in searchbot, infobot, spybot and warbot. As early as 1923, George Bernard Shaw had applied the word “robot” to people who act automatically, without thinking or emotion, usually because of the repetitive work they have to do. Now anyone having automaton-like behaviour risks attracting the label. A movie star called Samantha who has taken on the same type of character too many times might have her roles described as “Samanthabots.” And in 2009 “Obamabots” arrived-people who support Barack Obama without really knowing anything about him. 32. What does the underlined word “coining” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Delivering. B. Predicting. C. Inventing. D. Recommending. 33. How did the word “robot” develop in the 1990s? A. It was no longer linked with machines. B. It was gradually replaced by “android”. C. It was shortened and used in computing. D. It was only adopted in well-regarded novels. 34. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The usage of “robot” in different situations. B. The impact of “robot” on people’s behaviour. C. The popularity of “robot” among movie stars. D. The connection of “robot” with public figures. 35. Where is the text probably taken from? A. A writer’s biography. B. A science fiction. C. A technology newspaper. D. A language encyclopedia. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） According to a recent study, most people hold the strong belief that much imagination has gone away. _____36_____ Everyone has imagination, but most of us forget how to make use of it once we become older and older.

It involves taking unrelated ideas and trying to find connections between them. _____38_____ Then find an image, for example, a candle.

You could buy him tickets to a match or take him out for the night. Set no limits. Imagine that normal limitations do not exist. You have as much imagination as you want. ____39____ If your aim is to learn to ski, for instance, you can now practice skiing every day. Now apply this to reality. Maybe you can practice skiing every day in December, or every Monday in January. _____40_____ Look at the situation from a different point of view. Good writers always use this technique. Fiction writers often imagine they are the characters in their books. If your goal involves other people, put yourself in their positions. As an old saying goes, the best fishermen think like fish! A. Be someone else. B. In fact, they are mistaken. C. Do something different from others. D. This may affect your work and your life. E. Here are some ways to fire your imagination. F.

In addition to giving an animal a permanent (永久的) home and a loving family, the owner will find the company of a pet brings more happiness than expected. For someone like Maria Luiza Valcazara, having a pet was very suitable. She was all alone after moving to a new apartment in Brazil, and her solitary (独居的) life made her feel lonely. So when she found a cute black puppy named Chips, she knew she had to take him home. Maria thought that Chips would be able to fill the emptiness that she had been experiencing from living all alone. Maria was right. Once she took the puppy home, they immediately bonded. However, as Maria had to work during the day, she was worried about leaving Chips home alone in her apartment. She was also worried that his crying would upset her neighbors. One night, when she returned home, she considered her fears were confirmed. There, outside her door, was a package with a folded note attached to it. Marin knew that she was in trouble. She hoped that she would not be evicted (驱逐) from her new apartment because of Chips. She loved Chips so much, and she was afraid that she might have to get rid of him because he made too much noise whenever she was away. Maria was scared and wondered who could have left it at the door because she had little contact with the people in the building. However, when she noticed the names on the folded note, she found that it wasn't addressed to her but to her dog, Chips, and that it was “written” by another dog named Corote. Maria opened the package first and found a few toys for pets. 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。 Curious, Maria opened the note and started reading it. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With Chips following her, Maria knocked at her neighbor's door. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$英语听力部分，第一节听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。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。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。Tom, i'll pay the bill.

W: You’re so lucky to see a red squirrel. I know the red squirrel is Britain’s only native squirrel and its number is decreasing in the wild. M: That’s right, a 2007 survey found that after gray squirrels, an exotic species, were introduced into Britain, their numbers has been decreasing from 3~5 million to about 25,000. The disease gray squirrels carry could cause the death of red squirrels. W: That’s one point. But their decline in numbers actually related to the shrinking amount of nuts, red squirrel’s primary food source. M: You seem to know a fair bit about red squirrels. W: Well, until fifteen I lived with my grandpa on his farm. Grandpa loves this beautiful creature very much and I’ve learnt a lot from him. By the way, you must have been practicing for thousands of times to take such wonderful photos. M: Actually, I only practiced a few times and used just a second hand camera. It is my great tutor who helps me with my shooting. W: Then he would be so proud of you. 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 17. What do we know about the classes? A. They start in August. B.

She’d been listening to the radio and heard an interview with a best-selling author of young adult fantasy novels (奇幻小说). The woman’s name was Tamora Pierce, the same as a young student my mom had taught nearly four decades before. The Internet should be able to tell us. I found the author’s website quickly. She was a popular writer of books. I clicked on the biography link to scan for references to Burlingame Junior High, where my mom had worked, and my heart began to race when I spotted it at the bottom of the first section. Here was confirmation that my mother had taught a now-famous writer! But my eyes came to a stop reading the next paragraph, in which Pierce described writing her first fiction as a sixth grader. “The next year, as I was creating my own stories, my English teacher, Mrs. Jacobson, introduced me to the Lord of the Rings trilogy by J.R.R. Tolkien,” the biography (传记) read. “I got hooked on fantasy, and then on science fiction, and both made their way into my stories.” My mother’s name was Mary Jacobson. Within days, my dad had checked out all the Tamora Pierce books at the local library, and in one we found another surprise: a 1998 novel, which was dedicated (题献词) to “the teacher who shaped my life”. The teacher was Mary Jacobson. The dedication concluded, “A great teacher is above all other treasures.” This story made me see my mom differently. We knew she was a teacher, but we had no idea what kind of teacher she had been. She was just 24 when she taught Pierce. Until 2011, when she passed away, we did know who she was. 24. Why did the mother wear a puzzled look in Paragraph 1? A. The interviewee was a best-selling writer. B. The author visited the parents unexpectedly. C. The interviewee may be her former student. D. The young adult fantasy novels sold so well. 25. What information did the author find about Pierce? A. She suffered a lot to become a writer. B. She preferred fantasy to science fiction. C. She took pride in the author’s mother. D. She was grateful to the author’s mother. 26. Which of the following can best describe Jacobson? A. Devoted and thankful. B. Inspiring and respectable. C. Caring and demanding. D. Considerate and intelligent. 27 What’s the suitable title of the passage? A. Pierce: From a Student Writer to a Fantasy Queen B. My Mother: A Creator of Well-known Writers C. A Woman Writer with Gratitude for Her Teacher D. An Ordinary Teacher Shaping a Famous Writer 【答案】24. C 25. D 26. B 27. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者偶然发现母亲曾经教过的一名学生后来成为了一位著名的奇幻小说作家，并且对母亲充满了感激之情。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“She’d been listening to the radio and heard an interview with a best-selling author of young adult fantasy novels (奇幻小说). The woman’s name was Tamora Pierce, the same as a young student my mom had taught nearly four decades before. (她一直在听广播，听到一位畅销的青少年奇幻小说作家的访谈。这位女士的名字叫Tamora Pierce，和我妈妈四十年前教过的一名学生同名)”可知，母亲露出困惑的表情是因为她听到的访谈嘉宾可能曾是她的学生，故选C项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The dedication concluded, “A great teacher is above all other treasures.” (题献词的结尾写道：“一位伟大的老师胜过一切其他财富。”)”可知，Tamora Pierce对作者的母亲（她的老师）充满了感激之情，故选D项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Within days, my dad had checked out all the Tamora Pierce books at the local library, and in one we found another surprise: a 1998 novel, which was dedicated (题献词) to “the teacher who shaped my life”. The teacher was Mary Jacobson. (几天之内，爸爸从当地图书馆借阅了Tamora Pierce的所有书籍，在其中一本中我们又发现了一个惊喜：一本1998年的小说，题献给了“塑造了我一生的老师”。这位老师就是Mary Jacobson)”可知，Mary Jacobson是一位激励人心且值得尊敬的老师，故选B项。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“We knew she was a teacher, but we had no idea what kind of teacher she had been. (我们当然知道她是一位老师，但我们从未意识到她曾经是一位如此出色的老师)”及全文可知，文章主要讲述了作者的母亲作为一名普通教师，曾经激励并塑造了一位后来成为著名作家的学生，可知D选项“一个普通的教师塑造了一个著名的作家”适合作为文章标题。故选D项。 C We’ve all experienced it: You have important information you need to remember, and you’ll do anything it takes to keep it at the forefront of your brain. In this situation, rote memorization (死记硬背) may be your best — or even your only — option. Rote memorization is when we repeat a piece of information until we remember it. One great example of it is the alphabet (字母表). When we are little, we don’t necessarily understand that our language is composed of the letters A to Z. But we memorize them in a specific order because we are taught to, and then we know the alphabet. There are situations in which rote memorization can be helpful. “Rote memorization can be a useful learning tool in some situations, but its effectiveness depends on the type of information being learned and how it is applied,” says Dr. Aldrich Chan, neuropsychologist. He tells us that rote memorization helps us quickly recall basic facts and information such as vocabulary words or math formulas (公式). This can be particularly helpful in situations where immediate access to information is required, like during exams. The act of memorizing through repetition also has its downsides. Chan notes that “rote memorization often does not promote a deep understanding of the material. Learners may be able to memorize facts or information without truly understanding their meaning or significance.” On the other hand, he explains that “meaningful learning focuses on understanding the fundamental concepts and principles, encouraging critical thinking, and promoting the integration (整合) of knowledge into broader contexts. Meaningful learning promotes long-term memory and the ability to apply knowledge flexibly.” However, both rote memorization and meaningful learning have their place. The most important to keep in mind is that they are different, and rote memorization cannot stand in as an alternative to actual learning. Memorizing something doesn’t mean you understand it, and it doesn’t mean you can do anything with it. 28. How does the author introduce the topic in paragraph 1? A. By giving an example. B. By providing a definition. C. By creating a scene. D. By making a comparison. 29. Why does the author mention the alphabet in paragraph 2? A. To show how rote memorization works. B. To stress why learning in order is important. C. To instruct us how to learn the alphabet. D. To introduce the disadvantages of repetition. 30. What can we learn about rote memorization from Dr. Aldrich Chan? A. It focuses on the concepts and principles. B. It helps promote a meaningful understanding. C. It serves as useful tool for test preparation. D. It keeps knowledge in people's brain for long. 31. What is the author’s attitude towards rote memorization? A. Critical. B. Objective. C. Uninterested. D. Supportive. 【答案】28. C 29. A 30. C 31. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了死记硬背的定义、优点、缺点以及与其他学习方式的区别。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“You have important information you need to remember, and you’ll do anything it takes to keep it at the forefront of your brain. In this situation, rote memorization (死记硬背) may be your best — or even your only — option. (当你需要记住重要信息时，你会尽一切努力将其保留在大脑的最前端。在这种情况下，死记硬背可能是你最好的——甚至是唯一的选择)”可知，作者通过描述一个场景来引入话题，故选C项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Rote memorization is when we repeat a piece of information until we remember it. One great example of it is the alphabet (字母表). One great example of it is the alphabet (字母表). When we are little, we don’t necessarily understand that our language is composed of the letters A to Z. But we memorize them in a specific order because we are taught to, and then we know the alphabet. (死记硬背是指我们重复一条信息，直到我们记住它。一个很好的例子是字母表。当我们还是孩子的时候，我们不一定理解我们的语言是由A到Z的字母组成的。但我们按照特定的顺序背诵它们，因为我们被教导这样做，然后我们就记住了字母表)”可知，作者提到字母表是为了展示死记硬背是如何工作的，故选A项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“This can be particularly helpful in situations where immediate access to information is required, like during exams. (在需要立即获取信息的情况下，例如考试时，这尤其有帮助)”可知，死记硬背可以作为一种考试准备的有用工具，故选C项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, both rote memorization and meaningful learning have their place. The most important to keep in mind is that they are different, and rote memorization cannot stand in as an alternative to actual learning. Memorizing something doesn’t mean you understand it, and it doesn’t mean you can do anything with it. (然而，死记硬背和有意义的学习都有其存在的价值。最重要的是要记住，它们是不同的，死记硬背不能替代真正的学习。记住某件事并不意味着你理解了它，也不意味着你可以用它做任何事情)”可知，作者对死记硬背持客观态度，既承认其优点，也指出其局限性，故选B项。 D In 1921, Karel Čapek’s play R. U. R.: Rossum’s Universal Robots had its first public performance in Prague, and was translated into English the following year. He needed a name for the factory produced humanoid workers of the story, and was thinking of coining something based on the word “labour”. But his brother Josef suggested an old Czech word for “forced labour”, robota. And the word “robot” was born. If the Čapeks had known English, they might have chosen one of the words with relevant senses that were already in the language. “Automaton” had been available since the 17th century and “android” since the 18th. But the clear sound of “robot” seemed to capture the public imagination, because within five years it was being used not only for intelligent artificial beings but for any machine capable of carrying out a complex set of movements. In science fictions(小说), the word took on new life, with writers such as Isaac Asimov writing well-regarded novels in which robots played a central role. It was these writers who first shortened “robot”to“bot”, but none of them could have expected the explosion of usages which arrived in the 1990s, as the shortened word came to be adopted in computing. Today, a bot is any piece of software that runs an automated task, such as in searching the Internet or playing computer games. It has also become a suffix (后缀), with the function of the“bot”explained in the other part of the word, as in searchbot, infobot, spybot and warbot. As early as 1923, George Bernard Shaw had applied the word “robot” to people who act automatically, without thinking or emotion, usually because of the repetitive work they have to do. Now anyone having automaton-like behaviour risks attracting the label. A movie star called Samantha who has taken on the same type of character too many times might have her roles described as “Samanthabots.” And in 2009 “Obamabots” arrived-people who support Barack Obama without really knowing anything about him. 32. What does the underlined word “coining” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Delivering. B. Predicting. C. Inventing. D. Recommending. 33. How did the word “robot” develop in the 1990s? A. It was no longer linked with machines. B. It was gradually replaced by “android”. C. It was shortened and used in computing. D. It was only adopted in well-regarded novels. 34. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The usage of “robot” in different situations. B. The impact of “robot” on people’s behaviour. C. The popularity of “robot” among movie stars. D. The connection of “robot” with public figures. 35. Where is the text probably taken from? A. A writer’s biography. B. A science fiction. C. A technology newspaper. D. A language encyclopedia. 【答案】32. C 33. C 34. A 35. D 【解析】 【导语】是一篇说明文。主要介绍了“robota”这个词诞生的过程以及在不同情况下的使用。 【32题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线单词句中“He needed a name for the factory produced humanoid workers of the story…”（他需要为这个工厂生产的人形工人的故事取一个名字……）以及下一句“But his brother Josef suggested an old Czech word for “forced labour”, robota. And the word “robot” was born.”（但他的兄弟约瑟夫(Josef)建议用一个古捷克语来表示“强迫劳动”，robota。“robota”这个词就这样诞生了。）由此可知，此处为并且正在考虑以“劳动”这个词为基础创造一个名字。故可猜测划线单词coining为“创造，发明”的意思，结合选项C项Inventing“发明”意思一致。故选C项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据“It was these writers who first shortened “robot”to“bot”, but none of them could have expected the explosion of usages which arrived in the 1990s, as the shortened word came to be adopted in computing.”（正是这些作者第一次将robot缩写为bot，但他们谁也没有想到，随着这个缩写词在计算机领域被采用，它的用法在20世纪90年代出现了爆炸式的增长。）可知，“robot”这个词在20世纪90年代被缩短并用于计算。故选C项。 【34题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“As early as 1923, George Bernard Shaw had applied the word “robot” to people who act automatically, without thinking or emotion, usually because of the repetitive work they have to do. Now anyone having automaton-like behaviour risks attracting the label. A movie star called Samantha who has taken on the same type of character too many times might have her roles described as “Samanthabots.” And in 2009 “Obamabots” arrived-people who support Barack Obama without really knowing anything about him.”（早在1923年，乔治·萧伯纳就用“robot”一词来形容那些没有思考或情感就自动行动的人，通常是因为他们必须做重复的工作。现在，任何有类似机器人行为的人都有被贴上这个标签的风险。一位名叫萨曼莎(Samantha)的电影明星多次扮演同一类型的角色，她的角色可能被称为“萨曼莎博特”(Samantha abots)。2009年出现了“奥巴马机器人”——那些对奥巴马一无所知却支持他的人。）可知，最后一段主要讲了“robot”在不同情况下的使用。故选A项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章大意以及第一段中“He needed a name for the factory produced humanoid workers of the story, and was thinking of coining something based on the word “labour”. But his brother Josef suggested an old Czech word for “forced labour”, robota. And the word “robot” was born.”（他需要为这个工厂生产的人形工人的故事取一个名字，并且正在考虑以“劳动”这个词为基础创造一个名字。但他的兄弟约瑟夫(Josef)建议用一个古捷克语来表示“强迫劳动”，robota。“robota”这个词就这样诞生了。）可知，文章主要讲的是“robota”这个词的来源以及在不同情况下的使用。由此可推知，这段文字可能取自一本语言百科全书。故选D项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） According to a recent study, most people hold the strong belief that much imagination has gone away. _____36_____ Everyone has imagination, but most of us forget how to make use of it once we become older and older. Creativity isn’t always concerned with great works of art or ideas. People at work and in their free time typically think of creative ways to solve problems. _____37_____ Make connections. It involves taking unrelated ideas and trying to find connections between them. _____38_____ Then find an image, for example, a candle. Write down all the ideas associated with candles and then connect the ideas with the job you have to do. So imagine you want to buy a friend a unique gift. You could buy him tickets to a match or take him out for the night. Set no limits. Imagine that normal limitations do not exist. You have as much imagination as you want. ____39____ If your aim is to learn to ski, for instance, you can now practice skiing every day. Now apply this to reality. Maybe you can practice skiing every day in December, or every Monday in January. _____40_____ Look at the situation from a different point of view. Good writers always use this technique. Fiction writers often imagine they are the characters in their books. If your goal involves other people, put yourself in their positions. As an old saying goes, the best fishermen think like fish! A. Be someone else. B. In fact, they are mistaken. C. Do something different from others. D. This may affect your work and your life. E. Here are some ways to fire your imagination. F. Think about the problem to solve or the job to do. G. Consider your goal and the new possibilities carefully. 【答案】36. B 37. E 38. F 39. G 40. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了三个激发想象力的方法。 【36题详解】 根据上文“According to a recent study, most people hold the strong belief that much imagination has gone away. (根据最近的一项研究，大多数人坚信很多想象力已经消失了。)”及下文“Everyone has imagination, but most of us forget how to make use of it once we become older and older. (每个人都有想象力，但是一旦我们变得越来越老，我们中的大多数人就会忘记如何利用它。)”可知，大多数人认为他们想象力已经消失，但是实际上，这个观点是错误的，多数人只是随着年龄的增长忘记了如何利用想象力。B选项“In fact, they are mistaken.(事实上，他们错了。)”能够承上启下，符合语境。故选B。 【37题详解】 上文“Creativity isn’t always concerned with great works of art or ideas. People at work and in their free time typically think of creative ways to solve problems.(创造力并不总是与伟大的艺术作品或想法有关。人们在工作和空闲时间通常会想出创造性的方法来解决问题。)”指出创造力并不总是与伟大的艺术作品或想法有关，人们在工作和生活中会想出创造性的办法解决问题；结合第二段主旨句“Make connections.(建立联系)”、第三段主旨句“Set no limits.(不要设限)”以及第四段中的第5小题设空处可知，下文提出了如何三个激发想象力的方法；E选项“Here are some ways to fire your imagination.(这里有一些方法可以激发你的想象力。)”能够总领下文，符合语境。故选E。 【38题详解】 由主旨句“Make connections.(建立联系)”以及下文“Then find an image, for example, a candle. Write down all the ideas associated with candles and then connect the ideas with the job you have to do.(然后找一个图像，比如一支蜡烛。写下所有与蜡烛有关的想法，然后将这些想法与你要做的工作联系起来。)”可知，此处通过举例来阐述建立联系的步骤，设空处为第一步，由“then connect the ideas with the job you have to do”可知第一步要先考虑一下自己要做的工作；F选项“Think about the problem to solve or the job to do.(考虑要解决的问题或要做的工作。)”符合语境；选项中的“the job to do”与下文中的“the job you have to do”相呼应。故选F。 【39题详解】 上文“Set no limits. Imagine that normal limitations do not exist. (不要设限。想象正常的限制不存在。)”指出不要给自己设限，想象正常的限制不存在；下文“If your aim is to learn to ski, for instance, you can now practice skiing every day. Now apply this to reality.(例如，如果你的目标是学习滑雪，你现在可以每天练习滑雪。现在把它应用到现实中。)”举例说明可以结合自己所设定的目标开始实施行动；因此，首先要不给自己设限，思考自己的新的目标；选项G“Consider your goal and the new possibilities carefully.(仔细考虑你的目标和新的可能性。)”符合语境。故选G。 【40题详解】 文章结构分析，设空处为本段主旨句；由下文“Look at the situation from a different point of view. Good writers always use this technique. Fiction writers often imagine they are the characters in their books. If your goal involves other people, put yourself in their positions. As an old saying goes, the best fishermen think like fish!(从不同的角度看问题。优秀的作家总是使用这种技巧。小说作家常常把自己想象成书中的人物。如果你的目标涉及到其他人，设身处地地为他们着想。正如一句老话所说，最好的渔夫像鱼一样思考!)”可知，本段主要讲述的是把自己想象成别人，从他人的角度思考问题；A选项“Be someone else.(成为别人！)”建议把自己想象成别人，能够概括本段大意，适合作为主旨句。故选A。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When handball was introduced to Sri Lankan schools in 2010, I wanted to bring it to my school in a distant village.

In addition to giving an animal a permanent (永久的) home and a loving family, the owner will find the company of a pet brings more happiness than expected. For someone like Maria Luiza Valcazara, having a pet was very suitable. She was all alone after moving to a new apartment in Brazil, and her solitary (独居的) life made her feel lonely. So when she found a cute black puppy named Chips, she knew she had to take him home. Maria thought that Chips would be able to fill the emptiness that she had been experiencing from living all alone. Maria was right. Once she took the puppy home, they immediately bonded. However, as Maria had to work during the day, she was worried about leaving Chips home alone in her apartment. She was also worried that his crying would upset her neighbors. One night, when she returned home, she considered her fears were confirmed. There, outside her door, was a package with a folded note attached to it. Marin knew that she was in trouble. She hoped that she would not be evicted (驱逐) from her new apartment because of Chips. She loved Chips so much, and she was afraid that she might have to get rid of him because he made too much noise whenever she was away. Maria was scared and wondered who could have left it at the door because she had little contact with the people in the building. However, when she noticed the names on the folded note, she found that it wasn't addressed to her but to her dog, Chips, and that it was “written” by another dog named Corote. Maria opened the package first and found a few toys for pets. 注意： 1. 续写词数应150左右： 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Curious, Maria opened the note and started reading it. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With Chips following her, Maria knocked at her neighbor's door. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Curious, Maria opened the note and started reading it. The note, written by her neighboring dog owner, Angela, said she had noticed Chips crying a lot when Maria was away. Angela, in Corote's voice, suggested they play together when Maria was not home. This way, Chips wouldn't feel lonely. Maria was deeply moved and felt relieved after reading the note. Instead of expressing discontent, her kind neighbor was really understanding and tried to offer support. Maria felt she needed to meet Angela and her dog. With Chips following her, Maria knocked at her neighbor's door. The door opened and Maria saw a woman, who must be Angela, smiling at her. Corote, Angela's dog, followed her and stared at Chips happily. The two dogs immediately hit it off. A pleasant atmosphere was created when Maria and Angela were chatting. In the process, Maria also got valuable advice from Angela on how to keep Chips company. Through their shared experiences and the joy their pets brought them, Maria and her neighbor formed a deep connection and their lives became very colorful and meaningful. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，短文叙述Maria刚搬到新公寓，感到孤独，于是领养了小狗Chips。但她担心白天上班时Chips独自在家会吵闹，影响邻居。然后她发现门口有个包裹，里面有给Chips的纸条和玩具，署名是另一只狗Corote。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“好奇的Maria打开纸条，开始读起来。”可知，第一段可描写纸条的内容以及Maria的感动以及想见一见Angela和她的狗。 ②由第二段首句内容“Chips跟在她后面，Maria亚敲了敲邻居的门。”可知，第二段可描写见面的情景以及获得了陪伴Chips的宝贵建议以及Maria的生活因此变得丰富多彩。 2.续写线索：看到信的内容——感动——想见一见Angela和她的狗——获得建议——生活丰富多彩 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①使感动：move /touch ②建议：suggest/recommend ③提供：offer /provide ④形成：form/shape 情绪类 ①宽慰的：relieved/ comforting ②快乐：joy/pleasure 【点睛】[高分句型1] Angela, in Corote's voice, suggested they play together when Maria was not home. (运用了when引导时间状语从句) [高分句型2] The door opened and Maria saw a woman, who must be Angela, smiling at her. Corote, Angela's dog, followed her and stared at Chips happily.
