Reading comprehension(阅读理解) (50 分) A. Choose the best answer (根据短文内容, 选择最恰当的答案) (12分) Mandarin Connects My Children to Their Heritage Growing up in America as a child of first-generation Chinese immigrants, I was used to straddling (横跨) two worlds. But as I grew older, the Chinese side lost ground, inch by inch. While I happily accepted the bills in red envelopes that adults gave to children for Lunar New Year, I didn’t feel connected to the culture. Before my children were born, I had already decided that I would teach them Mandarin. I felt that they ought to be able to speak the language of their grandparents, the first language their mother encountered. Parenting books advised narrating your actions while with your baby, so I started digging out long-buried words: “ball,” “eat,” “sleep,” “play.” However, as this exercise continued, the gaps in my Mandarin became more obvious. One morning, when my daughter asked “What is the word for ‘arm’?” I panicked. Had I already reached the boundaries (边界) of my knowledge? Luckily, these days the ready availability of Chinese language media—from books to television shows to music—is a much-needed tool to parents like me. The first time I stepped into the local library in my Bay Area hometown, I was amazed to find a well-stocked (贮藏量多的) Chinese section. The tale of the Monkey King immediately caught my daughter’s imagination. When I see my son chat with his grandfather in Mandarin or when my daughter insists on fish for Lunar New Year, the time spent reading all those books closely feels well-spent. My youngest child recited Li Bai’s “________” for the Moon Festival performance at his preschool last fall. For generations of Chinese children, it’s the first piece of literature they memorize. It’s trotted out (翻出) for all occasions. My son’s voice rang out with confidence and his arms swept up to indicate the moon above. Joy and wonder fell on my father’s face as he listened to the familiar verses from the mouth of his grandson: verses that had been spoken by my father and my grandparents when they were students in China, and by countless boys and girls before that. 39. We can learn from the first paragraph that the author ________. A. was brought up in an all-English environment B. once lost her sense of belonging to Chinese culture C. was deeply attracted by Chinese culture when she was a child D. preferred Lunar New Year to any other festival 40. The underlined word panicked means “________”. A. happy B. anxious C. excited D. pathetic 41. According to the article, how did the author teach her children Mandarin? ① By sending them to a Chinese school in the Bay Area. ② By bringing them to the local library to read Chinese books. ③ By speaking the words of her actions in Mandarin while with them. ④ By making use of Chinese language media, such as books, television shows and music. A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ①③④ D. ②③④ 42. According to the article, when she realized that her children were very interested in Chinese culture, the author ________. A. felt reconnected to Chinese culture B. was full of hope for the inheritance (继承) of Chinese culture C. thought of her own experience of learning Chinese as n child D. felt that all her efforts to teach them Mandarin had been worth it 43. Which of the following best fits the blank? A. Mount Heaven’s Gate Viewed from A far B. Sitting Alone in face of Peak Jingting C. To Wang Lun Who Comes to Bid Me Farewell D. Thoughts on a Silent Night 44. What’s the main idea of this article? A. Language plays an important role in passing down family traditions. B. Language and culture are capable of connecting people throughout time and space. C. Learning Chinese poems is a great way to deepen your knowledge of the Chinese language. D. Knowing the Chinese language will provide you with a better understanding of Chinese culture. 【答案】39. B 40. B 41. D 42. D 43. D 44. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者孩子出生后，作者想让自己的孩子接触中国文化，通过教他们说普通话，让他们了解中国文化的故事。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据“But as I grew older, the Chinese side lost ground, inch by inch. While I happily accepted the bills in red envelopes that adults gave to children for Lunar New Year, I didn’t feel connected to the culture.”可知，首段提到作者在成长中逐渐失去与中国文化的联系，故作者曾经丢失了她对中华文化的归属感。故选B。 【40题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“One morning, when my daughter asked ‘What is the word for ‘arm’?’ I panicked. Had I already reached the boundaries (边界) of my knowledge?”可知，女儿问“胳膊”的汉语表达时，作者因词汇匮乏感到焦虑，故推出划线部分panicked意为“焦虑”。故选B。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The first time I stepped into the local library in my Bay Area hometown, I was amazed to find a well-stocked (贮藏量多的) Chinese section.”“When I see my son chat with his grandfather in Mandarin or when my daughter insists on fish for Lunar New Year, the time spent reading all those books closely feels well-spent.”及“Luckily, these days the ready availability of Chinese language media—from books to television shows to music—is a much-needed tool to parents like me.”可知，作者教她的孩子普通话是利用中文媒体，如书籍、电视节目和音乐；通过带他们去当地图书馆阅读中文图书；在和孩子们一起的时候用普通话说出她行动的话语。故选D。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据“When I see my son chat with his grandfather in Mandarin or when my daughter insists on fish for Lunar New Year, the time spent reading all those books closely feels well-spent.”可知，当她意识到她的孩子们对中国文化很感兴趣时，作者觉得她教他们普通话的所有努力都是值得的。故选D。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Li Bai’s ‘...’ for the Moon Festival performance”可知，是与月亮有关的诗，根据常识可知，《静夜思》与月亮有关。故选D。 【44题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，全文核心是“普通话连接孩子与传统”，强调语言和文化跨越时空的纽带，选项B“语言和文化能够在整个时间和空间中连接人们。”符合文章主旨。故选B。 B.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文探讨了内向者在节日期间的生存策略，并呼吁社会接纳内向性格的价值。 【45题详解】 句意：我无法想象在假期里，当那些害怕错过的社交达人走上街头寻欢作乐时，那会是什么样子。 getting lost迷路；picking up挑选；missing out错过；messing up搞砸。根据“I can’t imagine what it’s like during the holidays when the party animals, who have a fear of..., hit the streets to have fun.”可知，party animals“社交达人”，喜欢外出玩乐，他们害怕错过好玩的事情才会走上街头。故选C。 【46题详解】 句意：在这样的时候，我真的很钦佩那些性格内向，比起和别人在一起，更喜欢自己的想法和内心世界的人。 hate讨厌；admire钦佩；dislike不喜欢；comfort安慰。根据“At times like these, I truly...people who are introverted (内向的) and prefer their own thoughts and inner world to being around other people.”可知，作者在人多感到不适时，对内向的人能够享受独处是持欣赏态度的。故选B。 【47题详解】 句意：假期充满了闪烁的灯光、鲜艳的色彩和闲聊，而内向的人可能会觉得需要一些独处的时间来恢复精力。 full of充满；connected with与……有关；different from与……不同；based on基于。根据“The holidays are...glittering lights, bright colors and small talks”可知，这里描述假期的氛围中充满了各种元素，full of符合语境。故选A。 【48题详解】 句意：然而，总体而言，社会更喜欢性格外向的人，因为他们更倾向于外出并且花费更多的钱，这对经济有好处。 Therefore因此；What’s more而且；However然而；For example例如。根据“The day also highlights the positive points of introverted personalities, emphasizing that being the quiet one is not only acceptable but something to be celebrated...., society in general prefers extroverts...”可知，前文强调内向性格的积极方面，后文说社会更喜欢外向的人，前后是转折关系，However符合语境。故选C。 【49题详解】 句意：虽然这有时候是必要的，但为了快乐，被认可真实的自己是至关重要的。 never从不；often经常；sometimes有时；always总是。根据“While this is...necessary, to be happy, it is essential to be accepted for who we are...”，结合前文提到家人常逼迫内向的孩子参加聚会等行为可知，家长施压让孩子社交“有时”是出于必要，但作者强调“接受自我”更重要。故选C。 【50题详解】 句意：甚至那些以逗人发笑为工作的顶级喜剧演员也承认，在不工作的时候他们是无聊的人。 boring无聊的；satisfying令人满意的；pleasant令人愉快的；pleased高兴的。根据“Even top comedians, whose job is to make people laugh, admit to being...when they don’t work.”，结合前文一直讨论内向的话题，这里想表达喜剧演员工作时外向，不工作时状态相反，可理解为无聊。故选A。 C. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words(在短文的空格内填入适当的词,使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给) (14分) Imagine that you are gathering information about winter traditional entertainment in northern China. You click on a line to a video that you think might be useful to your research. The video, however, takes time to load (加载). After ten seconds, it hasn’t even started playing yet. Will you choose to wait patiently for it to load? Ramesh Sitaraman is an American computer science professor. He placed 6.7 million people in a situation s____51____ to the one above. According to his study, people would start giving up on a video after only two seconds if it hadn’t started loading yet. And with every additional second that would pass without the video starting to play, another 5.8 percent of viewer would leave. Sitaraman’s research shows that people are becoming less and less p____52____. Because of increasingly fast internet speed, we are used to getting “instant gratification (即时满足) .” We expect to get what we want without having to wait. When we don’t get what we want i____53____, we become worried or even angry. This happens in front of our screens-and beyond. Take one of my friends as an example. He c____54____ himself to be patient, but I don’t think so. Whenever he hits the road, he’s always in a hurry. One day last summer, he was cycling home after work. At one crossing, he had to stop because of a red traffic light. After waiting for 30seconds, he felt impatient and made a crazy d____55____: Go in whichever direction he saw there was a green light. It didn’t really save him time. He ended up taking a long detour (绕道) and spending twenty minutes more than usual on his way back home. My friend is not a____56____. Whenever there are traffic jams, many drivers try to quickly change lanes-a leading c____57____ of accidents. But being patient doesn’t save you trouble. It is also key to your success in life. To some degree, many people, including J. K. Rowling, have their own patience to thank for their success. 【答案】51. (s)imilar 52. (p)atient 53. (i)mmediately 54. (c)onsiders 55. (d)ecision 56. (a)lone 57. (c)ause 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了现在人们越来越没有耐心，但是耐心却很重要。 【51题详解】 句意：他将670万人置于与上面类似的情况下。根据“He placed 6.7 million people in a situation...to the one above.”可知此处表示“与……相似”。similar to意为“与……相似”。故填(s)imilar。 【52题详解】 句意：西塔拉曼的研究表明，人们正变得越来越没有耐心。根据“Because of increasingly fast internet speed, we are used to getting “instant gratification”及首字母提示可知人们已经习惯了“即时满足”，所以人们越来越没有耐心了。故填(p)atient。 【53题详解】 句意：当我们不能立即得到我们想要的东西时，我们会变得担心甚至生气。根据“We expect to get what we want without having to wait.”可知我们期望不用等待就能得到我们想要的东西，所以当我们不能立即得到我们想要的东西时，我们会变得担心甚至生气。故填(i)mmediately。 【54题详解】 句意：他认为自己很有耐心，但我不这么认为。根据“He...himself to be patient, but I don’t think so.”及首字母可知此处表示“认为”，“consider...to be...”意为“认为……是……”，本句为一般现在时，主语He是第三人称单数，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故填(c)onsiders。 【55题详解】 句意：等了30秒后，他不耐烦了，做了一个疯狂的决定：看到绿灯就朝哪个方向开。根据“Go in whichever direction he saw there was a green light.”及首字母可知他做了一个疯狂的决定，make a decision“做决定”，固定短语。故填(d)ecision。 【56题详解】 句意：我的朋友不是独自一人。根据“Whenever there are traffic jams, many drivers try to quickly change lanes-a leading...of accidents.”可知每当交通堵塞时，许多司机都试图迅速改变车道，所以像他这样没有耐心的人不止我朋友一个，alone用作形容词有“独自的，单独的”意思。故填(a)lone。 【57题详解】 句意：每当交通堵塞时，许多司机都试图迅速改变车道——这是造成事故的主要原因。根据“Whenever there are traffic jams, many drivers try to quickly change lanes-a leading...of accidents.”及首字母提示可知此处表示“原因”，cause意为“原因”。故填(c)ause。 D. Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题) (12 分) A Reflection on My High School Days August 28, 2018, was my first day of high school, and May 26, 2022, was my last. It is known that in the week leading up to the first day of school, everyone’s social media “stories” will be flooded with class schedules. That was how I found out that I had tons of existing middle school friends in almost each one of my classes. Lucky for freshman me! Still, throughout my high school years, I made an effort to make friends. These years is one of the best times in your life to form long-term friendships. But I also simply enjoy getting to know people, which is something that I think contributes greatly to my love of journalism and interviewing. My one regret from freshman year is that, for much of it, I wasn’t actively involved in student life. Keeping my grades the best was a bigger priority (优先事项). However, in the spring of freshman year, I decided to take a big chance and run for the upcoming sophomore (二年级) class council (委员会). My best memory from sophomore year, and maybe even high school, was a 2019 trip to Disney. I, along with other South Lakes students, was selected to sing at the annual Candlelight Processional Show. I felt nothing but pride representing South Lakes on stage surrounded by so many talented people. As to my senior year, it consisted of stressful college applications and a lot of burnout (精疲力竭). I grew a lot as a person, and I think if freshman me could see senior me, she would he proud. I held many leadership positions throughout the year and was a role model to younger students. More than anything. I can say that senior year taught me the value of hard work. friendship, and building relationships. As I sit here writing this, I think of a sentence I recently came cross online: “Don’t count the days; make every day count.” I know I’m going to miss my high school days. 58. How long did the author study in high school? ________________________________________________________ 59. According to the article, how did the author feel when she found out there would be many middle school friends in her classes? ________________________________________________________ 60. What contributed to the author’s love of journalism and interviewing? _______________________________________________________ 61. Reflecting on her freshman experience, why did she feel regretful? _______________________________________________________ 62. According to the author, what was the most memorable part of the 2019 Disney trip? ______________________________________________________ 63. What does the sentence “Don’t count the days; make every day count.” mean in the last paragraph? Thinking about your own experience, how do you make every day count? ________________________________________________________ 【答案】58. For about 4 years. 59. She felt lucky. 60. Her love of getting to know people. 61. Because for much of her freshman year, she wasn’t actively involved in student life as she focused on keeping her grades the best. 62. She and other South Lakes students were selected to sing at the annual Candlelight Processional Show and she felt proud representing South Lakes on stage surrounded by so many talented people. 63. Don’t count the days; make every day count.”的意思是不要只是数着日子过，而是要让每一天都有意义。可以设定小目标并努力去实现，积极参与各种活动提升自己，珍惜和朋友家人相处的时光等，让每一天都有意义。It means we shouldn’t just pass the days aimlessly but should make each day meaningful. To make every day count, I set clear goals for myself every day, whether it’s studying a certain subject, reading a book, or doing some exercise. I also try to communicate more with my family and friends, sharing my feelings and experiences with them. (第二问答案不唯一，合理即可) 【解析】 【导语】本文是关于作者高中生活的反思。文章详细描述了作者从高一到高三的经历、感受以及从中获得的成长和教训。作者特别提到了与朋友建立长期友谊的重要性，参与学校活动的积极性转变，以及在面临大学申请压力时如何成长并学会珍惜每一天。 【58题详解】 根据“August 28,2018, was my first day of high school, and May 26,2022, was my last.”可知，从2018年8月28日到2022年5月26日，作者在高中学习。2018年到2022年大约是4年时间。故填For about 4 years. 【59题详解】 根据“That was how I found out that I had tons of existing middle school friends in almost each one of my classes. Lucky for freshman me!”可知，作者发现几乎每门课都有很多以前中学的朋友时，觉得自己很幸运。故填She felt lucky. 【60题详解】 根据“Still, throughout my high school years, I made an effort to make friends. These years is one of the best times in your life to form long-term friendships. But I also simply enjoy getting to know people, which is something that I think contributes greatly to my love of journalism and interviewing.”可知，作者喜欢结识人这一点极大地促成了她对新闻和采访的热爱。故填Her love of getting to know people. 【61题详解】 根据“My one regret from freshman year is that, for much of it, I wasn’t actively involved in student life. Keeping my grades the best was a bigger priority (优先事项).”可知，她感到后悔是因为在大一的大部分时间里，没有积极参与学生生活，把保持最好的成绩当作了更重要的事情。故填Because for much of her freshman year, she wasn’t actively involved in student life as she focused on keeping her grades the best. 【62题详解】 根据“My best memory from sophomore year, and maybe even high school, was a 2019 trip to Disney. I, along with other South Lakes students, was selected to sing at the annual Candlelight Processional Show.

Choose the best answer (根据短文内容, 选择最恰当的答案) (12分) Mandarin Connects My Children to Their Heritage Growing up in America as a child of first-generation Chinese immigrants, I was used to straddling (横跨) two worlds. But as I grew older, the Chinese side lost ground, inch by inch. While I happily accepted the bills in red envelopes that adults gave to children for Lunar New Year, I didn’t feel connected to the culture. Before my children were born I had already decided that I would teach them Mandarin. I felt that they ought to be able to speak the language of their grandparents, the first language their mother encountered. Parenting books advised narrating your actions while with your baby, so I started digging out long-buried words: “ball,” “eat,” “sleep,” “play.” However, as this exercise continued, the gaps in my Mandarin became more obvious. One morning, when my daughter asked “What is the word for ‘arm’?” I panicked. Had I already reached the boundaries (边界) of my knowledge? Luckily, these days the ready availability of Chinese language media—from books to television shows to music—is a much-needed tool to parents like me. The first time I stepped into the local library in my Bay Area hometown, I was amazed to find a well-stocked (贮藏量多的) Chinese section. The tale of the Monkey King immediately caught my daughter’s imagination. When I see my son chat with his grandfather in Mandarin or when my daughter insists on fish for Lunar New Year, the time spent reading all those books closely feels well-spent. My youngest child recited Li Bai’s “________” for the Moon Festival performance at his preschool last fall. For generations of Chinese children, it’s the first piece of literature they memorize. It’s trotted out (翻出) for all occasions. My son’s voice rang out with confidence and his arms swept up to indicate the moon above. Joy and wonder fell on my father’s face as he listened to the familiar verses from the mouth of his grandson: verses that had been spoken by my father and my grandparents when they were students in China, and by countless boys and girls before that. 39. We can learn from the first paragraph that the author ________. A. was brought up in an all-English environment B. once lost her sense of belonging to Chinese culture C was deeply attracted by Chinese culture when she was a child D. preferred Lunar New Year to any other festival 40. The underlined word panicked means “________”. A. happy B. anxious C. excited D. pathetic 41. According to the article, how did the author teach her children Mandarin? ① By sending them to a Chinese school in the Bay Area. ② By bringing them to the local library to read Chinese books. ③ By speaking the words of her actions in Mandarin while with them. ④ By making use of Chinese language media, such as books, television shows and music. A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ①③④ D. ②③④ 42. According to the article, when she realized that her children were very interested in Chinese culture, the author ________. A. felt reconnected to Chinese culture B. was full of hope for the inheritance (继承) of Chinese culture C. thought of her own experience of learning Chinese as n child D. felt that all her efforts to teach them Mandarin had been worth it 43. Which of the following best fits the blank? A. Mount Heaven’s Gate Viewed from A far B. Sitting Alone in face of Peak Jingting C. To Wang Lun Who Comes to Bid Me Farewell D. Thoughts on a Silent Night 44. What’s the main idea of this article? A. Language plays an important role in passing down family traditions. B. Language and culture are capable of connecting people throughout time and space. C. Learning Chinese poems is a great way to deepen your knowledge of the Chinese language. D. Knowing the Chinese language will provide you with a better understanding of Chinese culture. B. Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage (选择最恰当的单词或词语完成短文) (12分) An Introvert’s Strategy for Surviving the Holidays I once got lost on East Nanjing Road in a boiling sea of people. Music from every store was loud. Having nowhere to sit and nowhere to stand, I was begging to be sent to some deserted island. Even for extroverts (性格外向者) like me, Shanghai is overwhelming (令人难以招架的). I can’t imagine what it’s like during the holidays when the party animals, who have a fear of ____45____, hit the streets to have fun. At times like these, I truly ____46____ people who are introverted (内向的) and prefer their own thoughts and inner world to being around other people. Introverts are self-sufficient (情感独立的) and don’t need other people to be happy. They can be happy by themselves. January 2 is World Introvert Day. The holidays are ____47____ glittering lights, bright colors and small talks, and introverts might feel in need of some alone time to recharge. The day also highlights the positive points of introverted personalities, emphasizing that being the quiet one is not only acceptable but something to be celebrated. ____48____, society in general prefers extroverts because they tend to go out more and spend more money, which is good for the economy. For this reason, families often pressure their introverted kids to attend large gatherings and fake being social butterflies to improve career prospects (前景). While this is ____49____ necessary, to be happy, it is essential to be accepted for who we are. Don’t be embarrassed about being reserved (内敛的) from the busy circus of popular life. Even top comedians, whose job is to make people laugh, admit to being ____50____ when they don’t work. This makes sense —— I mean, who wants to work on their day off. 45. A. getting lost B. picking up C. missing out D. messing up 46. A. hate B. admire C. dislike D. comfort 47. A. full of B. connected with C. different from D. based on 48. A. Therefore B.

Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题) (12 分) A Reflection on My High School Days August 28, 2018, was my first day of high school, and May 26, 2022, was my last. It is known that in the week leading up to the first day of school, everyone’s social media “stories” will be flooded with class schedules. That was how I found out that I had tons of existing middle school friends in almost each one of my classes. Lucky for freshman me! Still, throughout my high school years, I made an effort to make friends. These years is one of the best times in your life to form long-term friendships. But I also simply enjoy getting to know people, which is something that I think contributes greatly to my love of journalism and interviewing. My one regret from freshman year is that, for much of it, I wasn’t actively involved in student life. Keeping my grades the best was a bigger priority (优先事项). However, in the spring of freshman year, I decided to take a big chance and run for the upcoming sophomore (二年级) class council (委员会). My best memory from sophomore year, and maybe even high school, was a 2019 trip to Disney. I, along with other South Lakes students, was selected to sing at the annual Candlelight Processional Show. I felt nothing but pride representing South Lakes on stage surrounded by so many talented people. As to my senior year, it consisted of stressful college applications and a lot of burnout (精疲力竭). I grew a lot as a person, and I think if freshman me could see senior me, she would he proud. I held many leadership positions throughout the year and was a role model to younger students. More than anything. I can say that senior year taught me the value of hard work. friendship, and building relationships. As I sit here writing this, I think of a sentence I recently came cross online: “Don’t count the days; make every day count.” I know I’m going to miss my high school days. 58.
