2024-2025学年江苏省南京市雨花台中学 高二英语下学期期中考试试卷 全卷满分：150分 考试时间：120分钟 第一部分：听力（共两节，满分30分）（略） 第二部分：阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） A Social networking websites are an important tool for us to keep up with the world, make new friends, and share pictures, videos, or bits of interesting news. But for people who have very specific interests, a comprehensive site like Twitter is not sufficient. They want to be part of a supportive online community that shares their particular passions. The following are examples of specialized websites for these people. Stache Passions It is a social site for people who wear, admire, or have an interest in moustaches. It features photos of men with all sizes and styles of moustaches, forums for discussing the history, growing, and styling of the stache, and even a meet-up page to help you meet other moustache-lovers. Horyou It is a website for people who want to do good in the world. On the site, you can connect with other social activists and entrepreneurs (企业家), plan meetings, share fund-raising strategies, and keep up with thousands of people who are working hard to make the world a better place.There are no funny videos here, but Horyou offers its own web-based video channel that features programs and documentaries about. efforts to improve people’s lives around the globe. Watching them will warm your heart and inspire you to work harder for a better world. Purrsonals It is a specialized site for those who love cats. Here you can meet and chat with cat-loving friends, set up play-dates with local people and their pets, and even find a temporary home for a cat in need. If your friends don’t like it when you share endless cute cat videos on your regular social site, Purrsonals is where people are sure to appreciate them! 1. Which site might be useful for those who are interested in appearance? A. Twitter. B. Stache Passions. C. Horyou. D. Purrsonals. 2. What can you do on Horyou? A. Watch funny short films. B.

It collects beautiful photos of cats. C. It helps people find their lost pets. D. It enables people to adopt various pets. B In 1990, during a performance of my stage play, I became preoccupied with one particular member of the audience. While everybody else laughed, there she sat, staring at the floor, with her fingers in her ears. I’ll never forget her look of complete discomfort. That woman was my mother. Despite the fact I’d established myself as a humorist, my mother never found me or my work particularly funny. She was my hardest critic. “Is Drew really that funny?” she’d ask family members. To make matters worse, the feeling was mutual (相互的): though our social circle swore that she was humorous, I never saw it. My mother was supposedly very funny in her first language, Anishinaabemowin—an Indigenous (原住民的) language, but alas, I didn’t speak it. At family gatherings, when somebody would say something “funny” in Anishinaabemowin, she’d explain it to me. Sometimes the humour translated. Sometimes it didn’t. For a while I was convinced I would never make her laugh. Then, in 2005, I succeeded. I had published a book called Me Funny. In it were dozens of essays deconstructing Indigenous humour, along with 50 so-called “Indian jokes” to break up the various chapters. (For instance, “Why do Native people hate snow? Because it’s white and all over our land.”) She laughed hard and declared, “Wow, that was funny!” In 2009, my mother passed away at the age of 77. During the funeral, in the tears, family member after family member got up and recounted things she had done and said over the years. To my surprise, I found myself laughing. Suddenly I remembered a moment from the early ‘90s, when my mother asked me, completely serious, what “owie” meant in French. I struggled to come up with an answer until I spelled it out in my mind: oui (“yes” in English). More and more stories about her surfaced. We laughed as we remembered her. I couldn’t see my mother’s forest for my own trees. I wish I could have shared those laughs with her while she was alive, but I’m glad I finally made the connection. 4. What prevented the author and his mother from understanding each other’s humour? A. Language barriers. B. The author’s unique job. C. Mom’s critical personality. D Views of Indigenous people. 5. Why did the author laugh at mother’s funeral? A. He tried to fit in his Indigenous family. B. He recalled amusing moments about mom. C. He wanted to hide his sadness over mother’s death. D. He intended his laugh to make mother rest in peace. 6. What does the underlined sentence mean? A. The author learned from mother a very important life lesson. B. The author failed to relate to his mother from her perspective. C. The author finally understood mother’s sense of humour better. D. The author didn’t write enough humorous books to make mother laugh. 7. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Am I funny? B. Why isn’t Mom laughing? C. What’s so funny? D. Does laughter have an accent? C When Thomas Edison hit a wall with his inventions, he would nap in an armchair while holding a steel ball. As he started to fall asleep and his muscles relaxed, the ball would strike the floor, waking him with insights into his problems. Or so the story goes. Thomas Edison was somewhat right. Now, more than 100 years later, scientists have repeated the trick in a lab, revealing that the famous inventor was on to something. People following his recipe tripled their chances of solving a math problem. The trick was to wake up in the transition between sleep and wakefulness, just before deep sleep. In this transitional period, we are not quite awake, but also not deeply asleep. It can be as short as a minute and occurs right when we start to doze off. Researchers recruited more than 100 easy sleepers, each of whom was given a math test with a hidden rule for the answer. By recording brain activity, they found that those who napped and were interrupted during the first phase of sleep were three times better at finding the hidden key to the problem than those who remained awake. The creative effect happened even for people who spent just 15 seconds in the first sleep stage. But the trick didn’t work for those who reached later stages of sleep. “Our findings suggest there is a creative sweet spot during sleep onset,” says author Delphine Oudiette, a sleep researcher at the Paris Brain Institute. “It is a small window which can disappear if you wake up too early or sleep too deep.” The study team also identified a brain activity pattern linked to the creativity-boosting phase: moderate levels of brain waves at a slow frequency known as alpha, associated with relaxation, and low levels of delta waves, a hallmark of deep sleep. Oudiette says researchers can now focus on this brain signature when investigating the neural mechanisms (神经机制) of creative problem-solving. The team has already planned an experiment to help people reach a creative zone by monitoring their brain waves in real time.“ Edison was great”, Oudiette says, “and now we have a lot more to explore.” 8. What does the underlined phrase “was on to something” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Discovered the truth. B. Was absorbed in math puzzles. C. Started the experiment. D. Was engaged in laboratory work. 9. According to the research, the trick of promoting creativity lies in ________. A. gaining adequate deep sleep B. discovering the hidden rules of problems C. following Edison’s life style D. waking up right after nodding off to sleep 10. Why did the researchers record brain activity of the sleepers? A. To evaluate their sleep efficiency. B. To measure their amount of sleep. C To assess their levels of intelligence. D. To compare their creative thinking abilities. 11. What is paragraph 5 mainly about? A. Supporting evidence for the research results. B. Potential application of the research findings C. A further explanation of the research methods. D. A reasonable doubt about the research process. D In the video game Space Invaders Extreme 2, a player has to fire weapons to destroy aliens (外星人) attacking Earth. These aliens move fast, raining down from the top of the screen and claiming a player’s “life” if they reach the bottom. A study in Nature suggests that while destroying digital aliens might seem unrelated to distinguishing between words, such action video games may help children at risk for developmental dyslexia—a genetic (遗传的, 基因的) language disorder that makes processing words difficult—by improving their ability to perceive spoken words and sounds. In the study, 79 prereading children with family histories of dyslexia took several language tests, including listening for differences in made-up words—a task that can be challenging for dyslexic people. The kids were then split into four groups. One played Space Invaders Extreme 2, a second played a non-action video game, a third attended speech therapy (疗法), and a fourth received no intervention. Gamers played four times a week for 45 minutes each over a month and a half, and those in speech therapy attended 45-minute sessions twice weekly over about four months. By the end of the trial more than 80 percent of the Space Invaders players were significantly better at the word-identification task than before, and they showed greater improvements than any of the other three groups. The researchers aren’t sure why scores on the other language tests did not improve notably—but they say that this finding could be valuable. “If we can target these small cognitive (认知的) functions before children are older and lose some brain plasticity, then perhaps we can treat aspects of dyslexia before they’ve fully formed, ” says Simone Gori, co-author of the study. Dyslexia often goes untreated in Italy’s overburdened public health and school systems, says Marilu Tempini, a behavioral neurologist at the University of California. She hopes to see larger future studies conducted in other languages as well. “Eyes are an extension of the brain, ” she says, “so when we play video games, it's directly connected to our cognitive function—and there is so much research potential there. ” 12. The author describes Space Invaders Extreme 2 in paragraph 1 to show the game is ________. A. violent B. skill-based C. action-packed D. entertaining 13. According to Simone Gori, what is the significance of the finding? A. It proves that children with dyslexia can be cured. B. It offers hope that the public health system in Italy will be improved. C. It suggests that video games can replace the traditional speech therapy. D. It indicates that action video games can be used for early intervention of dyslexia. 14. What is Marilu Tempini’s attitude towards the study? A. Doubtful. B. Favorable. C. Dismissive. D. Conserved. 15. Which of the following might be a suitable title for the text? A. Secrets Behind Dyslexia Revealed B. Action Video Games Advance Word Awareness C The Most Effective Coping Strategy for Dyslexia D. Video Games Designed to Improve Cognitive Function 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。 Establishing healthy boundaries with yourself will help you stay within your range of control and prioritize what matters most.

Well, Ruby didn’t think she was. She sat next to Ollie and so she just copied him. This was the best way she had found to do maths and she didn’t have to think at all. One day the teacher said, “We will be having a maths test after lunch.” Ruby felt there were butterflies in the stomach. “Can I copy off you?” she whispered to Ollie. Ollie thought for a minute. “What will you give me?” he whispered back. Ruby showed Ollie a stone she had. It was round and smooth and the colour of the sea. “OK!” he said, “Give me the stone, and then you can copy my answers.” Ollie got full marks in the maths test and so did Ruby. Their names went on the top of the maths champion chart. Every week there was a maths test and every week Ollie and Ruby got full marks together. Ollie had to share the top place with Ruby, but it was worth it. He had a torch, a key chain, a golf ball and a gift box! One day, there was a maths test again. This time, Ruby picked a watch, thinking everything would go as usual—Ollie would let her copy and they would be on the top of the chart together again. But she was wrong. The headmaster came into Ruby’s class. “I want to see Ollie Simmons,” she said. Ollie was gone for a long time. Then the door opened. It was the headmaster again. “Ruby Riley,” she said, “Come with me, please.” Ruby felt like a bird in a cage—there was no way to escape. The headmaster told Ruby that every lunchtime for five weeks she had to do maths. “You have to learn to think for yourself,” she said. “And Ollie has to learn a lesson, too. He’s going to teach you.” 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。 Hanging her head down, Ruby felt so regretful for getting Ollie into trouble. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Ollie proved to be a good teacher for Ruby. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025学年江苏省南京市雨花台中学 高二英语下学期期中考试试卷 全卷满分：150分 考试时间：120分钟 第一部分：听力（共两节，满分30分）（略） 第二部分：阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） A Social networking websites are an important tool for us to keep up with the world, make new friends, and share pictures, videos, or bits of interesting news.

Does laughter have an accent? 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者和母亲一直对于对方的幽默不能理解，直到母亲逝世后，才发现是由于自己没有从母亲的角度去理解她。最后，作者希望能在母亲活着的时候和她分享那些笑声，但是作者最终理解了母亲的那些笑话，终于和母亲建立了联系。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“To make matters worse, the feeling was mutual : though our social circle swore that she was humorous, I never saw it. My mother was supposedly very funny in her first language, Anishinaabemowin—an Indigenous language, but alas, I didn’t speak it. At family gatherings, when somebody would say something “funny” in Anishinaabemowin, she’d explain it to me. Sometimes the humour translated. Sometimes it didn’t.”(更糟糕的是，这种感觉是相互的：虽然我们的社交圈都说她很幽默，但我从来没有看到过。我的母亲在她的第一语言anishinaabemowin(一种土著语言)中被认为非常有趣，但是，唉，我不会说这种语言。在家庭聚会上，当有人用Anishinaabemowin说一些“有趣”的事情时，她会向我解释。有时幽默被翻译出来了。有时候没有。)可知，是语言障碍阻碍了作者和他的母亲相互理解对方的幽默。故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五、六段中“During the funeral, in the tears, family member after family member got up and recounted things she had done and said over the years. To my surprise, I found myself laughing. Suddenly I remembered a moment from the early ‘90s, when my mother asked me, completely serious, what “owie” meant in French. I struggled to come up with an answer until I spelled it out in my mind: oui (“yes” in English)...More and more stories about her surfaced. We laughed as we remembered her.”(在葬礼上，一个又一个的家人哭着站起来，讲述她多年来做过的事情和说过的话。令我惊讶的是，我发现自己笑了。突然，我想起了90年代初的一个时刻，我母亲非常严肃地问我，“owie”在法语中是什么意思。我挣扎着想出一个答案，直到我在脑海中拼出来：oui(英语中的“是的”)......越来越多关于她的故事浮出水面。想起她，我们都笑了。)可知，作者在母亲的葬礼上笑是因为他回忆起关于妈妈的有趣时刻。故选B项。 【6题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段中“To make matters worse, the feeling was mutual : though our social circle swore that she was humorous, I never saw it.”(更糟糕的是，这种感觉是相互的：虽然我们的社交圈都说她很幽默，但我从来没有看到过。)以及文章最后一句“I wish I could have shared those laughs with her while she was alive, but I’m glad I finally made the connection.”(我希望我能在她活着的时候和她分享那些笑声，但我很高兴我终于建立了联系。)可知，作者在母亲活着的时候从没理解母亲的笑话，由此可推知，划线句子的意思是“作者没有从他母亲的角度去理解她。”故选B项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段中“Despite the fact I’d established myself as a humorist, my mother never found me or my work particularly funny. She was my hardest critic. “Is Drew really that funny?” she’d ask family members.”(尽管我已经把自己塑造成一个幽默作家，但我母亲从未觉得我或我的作品特别有趣。她是我最严厉的批评家。“德鲁真的那么有趣吗?”她会问家人。)和第四段“For a while I was convinced I would never make her laugh. Then, in 2005, I succeeded. I had published a book called Me Funny. In it were dozens of essays deconstructing Indigenous humour, along with 50 so-called “Indian jokes” to break up the various chapters. (For instance, “Why do Native people hate snow? Because it’s white and all over our land.”) She laughed hard and declared, “Wow, that was funny!””(有一段时间，我确信我永远也逗不了她笑。2005年，我成功了。我出版了一本叫《我很有趣》的书。书中有几十篇文章解构了印第安人的幽默，还有50个所谓的“印第安笑话”，作为各个章节的分句。（例如，“为什么原住民讨厌雪?”因为它是白色的，遍布我们的土地。”）她大笑着说:“哇，真有趣!”)可知，文章一直在说作者和母亲关于幽默的事情，故可推知文章最好的标题为“什么事这么好笑？”。故选C项。 C When Thomas Edison hit a wall with his inventions, he would nap in an armchair while holding a steel ball. As he started to fall asleep and his muscles relaxed, the ball would strike the floor, waking him with insights into his problems. Or so the story goes. Thomas Edison was somewhat right. Now, more than 100 years later, scientists have repeated the trick in a lab, revealing that the famous inventor was on to something. People following his recipe tripled their chances of solving a math problem. The trick was to wake up in the transition between sleep and wakefulness, just before deep sleep. In this transitional period, we are not quite awake, but also not deeply asleep. It can be as short as a minute and occurs right when we start to doze off. Researchers recruited more than 100 easy sleepers, each of whom was given a math test with a hidden rule for the answer. By recording brain activity, they found that those who napped and were interrupted during the first phase of sleep were three times better at finding the hidden key to the problem than those who remained awake. The creative effect happened even for people who spent just 15 seconds in the first sleep stage. But the trick didn’t work for those who reached later stages of sleep. “Our findings suggest there is a creative sweet spot during sleep onset,” says author Delphine Oudiette, a sleep researcher at the Paris Brain Institute. “It is a small window which can disappear if you wake up too early or sleep too deep.” The study team also identified a brain activity pattern linked to the creativity-boosting phase: moderate levels of brain waves at a slow frequency known as alpha, associated with relaxation, and low levels of delta waves, a hallmark of deep sleep. Oudiette says researchers can now focus on this brain signature when investigating the neural mechanisms (神经机制) of creative problem-solving. The team has already planned an experiment to help people reach a creative zone by monitoring their brain waves in real time.“ Edison was great”, Oudiette says, “and now we have a lot more to explore.” 8. What does the underlined phrase “was on to something” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Discovered the truth. B. Was absorbed in math puzzles. C. Started the experiment. D. Was engaged in laboratory work. 9. According to the research, the trick of promoting creativity lies in ________. A. gaining adequate deep sleep B. discovering the hidden rules of problems C. following Edison’s life style D. waking up right after nodding off to sleep 10. Why did the researchers record brain activity of the sleepers? A. To evaluate their sleep efficiency. B. To measure their amount of sleep. C To assess their levels of intelligence. D. To compare their creative thinking abilities. 11. What is paragraph 5 mainly about? A. Supporting evidence for the research results. B. Potential application of the research findings C. A further explanation of the research methods. D. A reasonable doubt about the research process. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了研究人员通过复现爱迪生的方法发现，在打盹后马上醒来能促进人的创造力。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Thomas Edison was somewhat right. Now, more than 100 years later, scientists have repeated the trick in a lab, revealing that the famous inventor was on to something. People following his recipe tripled their chances of solving a math problem. (托马斯·爱迪生多少是对的。现在，100多年后，科学家们在实验室里重复了这个把戏，揭示出这位著名的发明家was on to something。按照他的方法，人们解决数学问题的几率增加了三倍)”可推知，前面说科学家们重复了这个把戏，后又说按照他的方法，人们解决数学问题的几率增加了三倍，所以此处表示爱迪生确实找到了一种方法。由此推知，划线词组was on to something和Discovered the truth.(发现了真相)意思相近。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The trick was to wake up in the transition between sleep and wakefulness, just before deep sleep. In this transitional period, we are not quite awake, but also not deeply asleep. It can be as short as a minute and occurs right when we start to doze off.(诀窍是在睡眠和清醒之间的过渡阶段醒来，就在深度睡眠之前。在这个过渡时期，我们不是完全清醒，但也不是深睡。它可能只有一分钟，就发生在我们开始打瞌睡的时候)”以及第三段中“By recording brain activity, they found that those who napped and were interrupted during the first phase of sleep were three times better at finding the hidden key to the problem than those who remained awake.(通过记录大脑活动，他们发现那些在睡眠第一阶段被打断的人在找到问题隐藏的关键方面比那些保持清醒的人好三倍)”以及第四段中“The creative effect happened even for people who spent just 15 seconds in the first sleep stage. But the trick didn’t work for those who reached later stages of sleep. (即使在第一阶段只睡了15秒的人也会产生创造性的效果。但这个把戏对进入睡眠后期的人不起作用)”可知，促进创造力的诀窍在于在打盹后马上醒来。故选D项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“By recording brain activity, they found that those who napped and were interrupted during the first phase of sleep were three times better at finding the hidden key to the problem than those who remained awake.(通过记录大脑活动，他们发现那些在睡眠第一阶段被打断的人在找到问题隐藏的关键方面比那些保持清醒的人好三倍)”可知，研究人员记录睡眠者的大脑活动是为了比较他们的创造性思维能力。故选D项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段中“The study team also identified a brain activity pattern linked to the creativity-boosting phase: moderate levels of brain waves at a slow frequency known as alpha, associated with relaxation, and low levels of delta waves, a hallmark of deep sleep. Oudiette says researchers can now focus on this brain signature when investigating the neural mechanisms of creative problem-solving. The team has already planned an experiment to help people reach a creative zone by monitoring their brain waves in real time.(研究团队还发现了一种与创造力提升阶段相关的大脑活动模式：与放松有关的被称为α的中等水平的慢频率脑电波，以及深度睡眠的标志——低水平的δ波。Oudiette说，当研究创造性解决问题的神经机制时，研究人员现在可以专注于这种大脑信号。该团队已经计划进行一项实验，通过实时监测人们的脑电波，帮助人们进入创造性区域)”可知，第五段主要讲了研究成果的潜在应用，能帮助人们进入创造性区域。故选B项。 D In the video game Space Invaders Extreme 2, a player has to fire weapons to destroy aliens (外星人) attacking Earth. These aliens move fast, raining down from the top of the screen and claiming a player’s “life” if they reach the bottom. A study in Nature suggests that while destroying digital aliens might seem unrelated to distinguishing between words, such action video games may help children at risk for developmental dyslexia—a genetic (遗传的, 基因的) language disorder that makes processing words difficult—by improving their ability to perceive spoken words and sounds. In the study, 79 prereading children with family histories of dyslexia took several language tests, including listening for differences in made-up words—a task that can be challenging for dyslexic people. The kids were then split into four groups. One played Space Invaders Extreme 2, a second played a non-action video game, a third attended speech therapy (疗法), and a fourth received no intervention. Gamers played four times a week for 45 minutes each over a month and a half, and those in speech therapy attended 45-minute sessions twice weekly over about four months. By the end of the trial more than 80 percent of the Space Invaders players were significantly better at the word-identification task than before, and they showed greater improvements than any of the other three groups. The researchers aren’t sure why scores on the other language tests did not improve notably—but they say that this finding could be valuable. “If we can target these small cognitive (认知的) functions before children are older and lose some brain plasticity, then perhaps we can treat aspects of dyslexia before they’ve fully formed, ” says Simone Gori, co-author of the study. Dyslexia often goes untreated in Italy’s overburdened public health and school systems, says Marilu Tempini, a behavioral neurologist at the University of California. She hopes to see larger future studies conducted in other languages as well. “Eyes are an extension of the brain, ” she says, “so when we play video games, it's directly connected to our cognitive function—and there is so much research potential there. ” 12. The author describes Space Invaders Extreme 2 in paragraph 1 to show the game is ________. A violent B. skill-based C. action-packed D. entertaining 13. According to Simone Gori, what is the significance of the finding? A. It proves that children with dyslexia can be cured. B. It offers hope that the public health system in Italy will be improved. C. It suggests that video games can replace the traditional speech therapy. D. It indicates that action video games can be used for early intervention of dyslexia. 14. What is Marilu Tempini’s attitude towards the study? A. Doubtful. B. Favorable. C. Dismissive. D. Conserved. 15. Which of the following might be a suitable title for the text? A. Secrets Behind Dyslexia Revealed B. Action Video Games Advance Word Awareness C. The Most Effective Coping Strategy for Dyslexia D. Video Games Designed to Improve Cognitive Function 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。研究表明，动作视频游戏如《Space Invaders Extreme 2》可能有助于改善有发展性阅读障碍风险的儿童的语言处理能力。实验中，玩此游戏的儿童在区分词语的任务上表现出了显著的进步，比其他组别包括接受言语治疗的儿童进步更大。这为早期干预阅读障碍提供了新的可能性。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“In the video game Space Invaders Extreme 2, a player has to fire weapons to destroy aliens (外星人) attacking Earth. These aliens move fast, raining down from the top of the screen and claiming a player’s “life” if they reach the bottom. (在视频游戏《太空入侵者极限2》中，玩家必须发射武器来摧毁攻击地球的外星人。这些外星人行动迅速，从屏幕顶部倾泻而下，如果他们到达底部，就会夺走玩家的“生命”。)”可知，在《太空侵略者极限2》这款视频游戏中，需要玩家快速反应并采取行动来击落快速移动的敌人，这表明游戏充满了动作和紧张感。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段中““If we can target these small cognitive (认知的) functions before children are older and lose some brain plasticity, then perhaps we can treat aspects of dyslexia before they’ve fully formed, ” says Simone Gori, co-author of the study. (该研究的合著者Simone Gori说：“如果我们能在儿童长大并失去一些大脑可塑性之前针对这些小的认知功能，那么也许我们可以在阅读障碍完全形成之前治疗这些方面。”。)”可知，这项研究的发现表明动作类视频游戏可以用于阅读障碍的早期干预。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。 根据文章第五段中“She hopes to see larger future studies conducted in other languages as well. “Eyes are an extension of the brain, ” she says, “so when we play video games, it's directly connected to our cognitive function—and there is so much research potential there. ” (她希望未来也能看到用其他语言进行更大规模的研究。“眼睛是大脑的延伸，”她说，“所以当我们玩电子游戏时，它与我们的认知功能直接相关，而且那里有很大的研究潜力。”)”可知，她对这项研究持积极赞成的态度，并期待未来有更多相关研究。故选B项。 15题详解】 主旨大意题。 根据文章第二段中“A study in Nature suggests that while destroying digital aliens might seem unrelated to distinguishing between words, such action video games may help children at risk for developmental dyslexia —a genetic (遗传的,  基因的) language disorder that makes processing words difficult—by improving their ability to perceive spoken words and sounds. (《自然》杂志的一项研究表明，虽然摧毁数字外星人似乎与区分单词无关，但这种动作视频游戏可以通过提高儿童感知口语和声音的能力来帮助有发展性阅读障碍风险的儿童，这是一种遗传性语言障碍，使处理单词变得困难。)”可知，文章主要讨论了动作类视频游戏如何帮助可能患有阅读障碍的儿童提高识别单词的能力，以及这一发现对未来干预措施的潜在价值，因此Action Video Games Advance Word Awareness (动作视频游戏提高词汇意识)是一个合适的标题。故选B项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Establishing healthy boundaries with yourself will help you stay within your range of control and prioritize what matters most.

Well, Ruby didn’t think she was. She sat next to Ollie and so she just copied him. This was the best way she had found to do maths and she didn’t have to think at all. One day the teacher said, “We will be having a maths test after lunch.” Ruby felt there were butterflies in the stomach. “Can I copy off you?” she whispered to Ollie. Ollie thought for a minute. “What will you give me?” he whispered back. Ruby showed Ollie a stone she had. It was round and smooth and the colour of the sea. “OK!” he said, “Give me the stone, and then you can copy my answers.” Ollie got full marks in the maths test and so did Ruby. Their names went on the top of the maths champion chart. Every week there was a maths test and every week Ollie and Ruby got full marks together. Ollie had to share the top place with Ruby, but it was worth it. He had a torch, a key chain, a golf ball and a gift box! One day, there was a maths test again. This time, Ruby picked a watch, thinking everything would go as usual—Ollie would let her copy and they would be on the top of the chart together again. But she was wrong. The headmaster came into Ruby’s class. “I want to see Ollie Simmons,” she said. Ollie was gone for a long time. Then the door opened. It was the headmaster again. “Ruby Riley,” she said, “Come with me, please.” Ruby felt like a bird in a cage—there was no way to escape. The headmaster told Ruby that every lunchtime for five weeks she had to do maths. “You have to learn to think for yourself,” she said. “And Ollie has to learn a lesson, too. He’s going to teach you.” 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。 Hanging her head down, Ruby felt so regretful for getting Ollie into trouble. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Ollie proved to be a good teacher for Ruby. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 Hanging her head down, Ruby felt so regretful for getting Ollie into trouble. She realized it was her fault that put them into such a shameful situation. “I am so sorry that I’d like to make a sincere apology to you.” Ruby said to Ollie with tears rolling down her cheeks. Hearing this, Ollie felt ashamed with his cheeks burning and said, “I should also take the responsibility for the matter. To make up for this fault, I will try my best to help you.” Ruby wiped her tears and was determined to spare no effort to learn maths with Ollie. Ollie proved to be a good teacher for Ruby. He was always ready to help whenever Ruby met with difficulties. As time went by, with the assistance of Ollie, Ruby gradually made great progress in maths. Eventually, they both got full marks in the final examination once again. The headmaster praised them for the progress they had made. It was at the moment that they really felt proud of themselves. What an unforgettable and meaningful experience, which taught them a lesson of honesty and true friendship. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Ruby请求同桌Ollie在数学考试时让自己抄袭，并答应Ollie送他礼物，因此两人每周数学测验都获得了满分。校长发现他们考试抄袭这件事后，要求Ruby连续五周在午餐时间学习数学，并让Ollie帮助她。最终两人都凭借努力考取了满分也领悟了友谊的真谛。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Ruby低着头，很后悔给Ollie惹了麻烦”可知，第一段可描写Ruby道歉以及决心弥补。 ②由第二段首句内容“Ollie是Ruby的好老师”可知，第二段可描写Ruby在Ollie的帮助下，数学取得进步，最后两人都得了满分。 2.续写线索：Ruby后悔——Ruby羞愧——Ruby决心改变——Ollie帮助Ruby——两人获得满分——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 道歉：make an apology/apologize 努力：spare no effort to /try one’s best to/ do one’s utmost 意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 真诚：sincere /heartfelt 难忘：unforgettable /memorable 【点睛】[高分句型1] I am so sorry that I’d like to make a sincere apology to you.
