It is close to all the city has to offer including beautiful architecture, historic landmarks, and exciting entertainment centers. When you’re ready to explore, Hilton Anatole is just minutes’ walk from these fantastic spots. It is also a short drive to Dallas/Ft. Worth International Airport and Dallas Love Field Airport(位于达拉斯市中心的阿纳托尔希尔顿酒店被选为会议地点是有充分理由的。这里靠近城市的各种景点，包括美丽的建筑、历史地标和令人兴奋的娱乐中心。当您准备去探索时，从阿纳托尔希尔顿酒店出发，只需步行几分钟就能到达这些美妙的地方。从酒店驱车前往达拉斯 / 沃思堡国际机场和达拉斯爱田机场也只需很短的时间。)”可知，阿纳托尔希尔顿酒店被选为会议地点的原因是它位于达拉斯市中心，靠近城市的各种景点，步行几分钟就能到达，而且距离两个机场驱车也只需很短时间。也就是说，阿纳托尔希尔顿酒店被选为会议地点是因为其便利的地理位置。故选A。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章Hotel Reservations部分中的“ACA’s contracted discounted rates will be available up to three days before and after our conference dates, on a first-come, first-served basis through January 22, 2025.(在会议日期的前后三天内，均可享受美国露营协会的协议优惠房价，先到先得，预订截止至2025年1月22日。)”可知，以协议优惠价预订房间的截止日期是2025年1月22日。故选C。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“You will receive free basic wireless guestroom Internet and access to Verandah Health Club at the ACA’s contracted room rate, without adding the optional Resort Package.(您只需支付美国露营协会的协议房价，即可享受免费的客房基本无线互联网服务，并可使用阳台健康俱乐部，无需额外购买度假村套餐。)”可知，支付协会协议房价可享受免费的客房基本无线网络服务和使用阳台健康俱乐部的权利。故选D。 B When she was ten years old, Isadora Duncan dropped out of school to teach people dance. If that job was left to any other ten-year-old, it would have turned out frustrating, difficult, and a little discouraging. But Duncan was different. Not only was she already talented enough to earn money even at that age, but she also had a rare kind of confidence that helped her treat troubles as fuel —something to elevate the fire that is already burning inside of her. It’s no surprise, then, that when she moved to New York to join a theatre company, she found herself restricted. The existing dancing style, their way of operating—all of this seemed to her the work of a misguided past. Duncan was very direct about what she wanted, confidently telling people she had a different vision of dance that she was going to spread in the world. This, naturally, led to ridicule and laughs early on, but as she built up her work, these instances became less frequent. Today, she is remembered as “The Mother of Dance,” with much of the modern art owing its expressive style to her influence. Inspired by the ancient Greeks, she brought the style to life. In her autobiography (自传), one of the things Duncan frequently refers to as the basis of her expressive spirit is the fact that she had a childhood where she wasn’t constantly watched. The expectations of her mother (who raised her) were open-ended. It was the freedom of this lifestyle that drove her to see what she could do. Growing up, before she left school, she was told one of two things: that she was either completely useless or that she was a genius. There was nothing in between. Even when she started working, people either bowed to her or they basically ignored her. But there wasn’t one moment Duncan doubted her own genius. There is an old quotation “if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” And it captures an important truth. At school, Isadora Duncan was a failure. In the dance hall, she gave form to brilliance. 24. What does the underlined phrase “treat troubles as fuel” mean? A. Duncan used troubles to push her forward towards her dream. B. Duncan was good at burning away everyday troubles. C. Troubles turned Duncan into a confident girl. D. Troubles lit the fire of dancing in Duncan. 25. Which of the following is TRUE about Duncan? A. Her experience in New York was the foundation of her career. B. Her teaching job when she was little destroyed her confidence. C. Her dancing style was not very well received at the beginning. D. Her mother set higher expectation on her than she could bear. 26. What does the author try to tell the readers in the last paragraph? A. It is useless climbing a tree to catch fish. B. Everybody is a genius in his own way. C. Miseries come from human stupidity. D. Teachers can impact students greatly. 27. What is this passage mainly about? A. Isadora Duncan’s childhood and her achievements today. B. Duncan’s career development and other dancers’ opinions of her. C. Isadora Duncan’s early experiences and the reasons for her success. D. Duncan’s high status in the dancing world and her unique expressive style. 【答案】24. A 25. C 26. B 27. C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。伊莎多拉·邓肯十岁时辍学去教别人跳舞，文章主要介绍了她的早期的经历以及其取得成功的原因。 【24题详解】 词义猜测题。根据上文说即使在那个年龄，她也有足够的天赋去挣钱，而且她还有一种罕见的自信，尤其是破折号后的something to elevate the fire that is already burning inside of her （能让她心中燃烧的火焰更旺）可推测出划线部分的意思应为“用困难推动她向梦想前进”。故选A。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的Duncan was very direct about what she wanted, confidently telling people she had a different vision of dance that she was going to spread in the world. This, naturally, led to ridicule and laughs early on, but as she built up her work, these instances became less frequent. 可知，她自信地告诉人们她对舞蹈有不同的看法，她将在世界上传播。很自然，这在一开始就引起了人们的嘲笑和大笑，但随着她的工作越来越多，这样的事情就不那么频繁了。由此可知，她的舞蹈风格一开始不被人们接受。故选C。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。最后一段引用古话:“如果你以爬树的能力来判断一条鱼，它终其一生都会认为自己是愚蠢的。”接着又指出在学校里，伊莎多拉·邓肯是个失败者。在舞厅里，她光彩夺目。由此可推断出，作者在最后一段想要告诉我们每个人都是独特的天才。故选B。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。伊莎多拉·邓肯十岁时辍学去教别人跳舞，文章主要介绍了她的经历以及所取得的成功。故选C。 【点睛】词义猜测题是高考阅读理解中常考题型之一，可以大致分为①定义猜词，可以根据定义信息和举例猜测词义。如文中常用refer to，be called或that’s to say，such as等。②逻辑猜词可以根据同义词、反义词、因果关系词等猜测词义，例如，similarly，the same as，but，however，while，on the other hand, since ,because等，所猜词与这些提示词前/后面部分的含义一样、相反或是前因后果。③语法猜词，可以根据构词法，再结合上下文进行猜词。④语境猜词，猜测词义离不开上下文的语境，通过上下文提供的情景和线索进行合理的分析，同时还要关注其所在的整段及整篇文章。⑤指代猜词即找出人称代词、指示代词、关系代词或关系副词等所指代的内容，做题时要注意指代词的位置，以便于判断，然后用所找的指代内容替换划线代词，核实其逻辑、意义、位置等是否一致，最后比较所找部分与选项，确定意思最接近的选项。本文中的第1小题是词义猜测题，该小题属于逻辑猜词，该词后的破折号后的句子对划线句子进行了解释说明，根据前后的逻辑关系再结合上下文，可以准确的猜测出该句的意思，再对应四个选项，即可得出答案。 C As Alexandria Country Day School’s sixth-graders created small 3D printed villages to address homelessness, they learned lessons far beyond technology. “It Takes a Village” began as a project for a science class — inspired by life-size 3D printed homes built by Austin, Texas-based technology company Icon, whose aim is to make affordable housing accessible to everyone. The tech-focused project quickly developed into an exercise to bring about lasting change, said science teacher Alison McDonald. “When most people think of helping the homeless, they think of food and clothing drives,” said Juliet Galicia, 11. While necessary, those are temporary solutions. Even housing by itself is not a complete solution. In designing their leave-homelessness-behind neighborhoods, shelters, food stores and schools came first. But to build a sense of belonging and purpose, the communities also emphasised areas for frequent interaction among residents. “We wanted to include extras that would make it feel more like a real community,” said Luke Wazorko, 11. “They get it!” said Amber Fogarty, president of Mobile Loaves & Fishes, anon-profit organization dealing with homelessness in Austin, after learning about the sixth-graders’ project. “The biggest cause of long-term homelessness is a loss in family relationships,” she said. “Housing alone will never solve homelessness, but the community will. People need a place where they are known and loved.” Many companies around the world are experimenting with this technology. So far, only interior (内部的) and exterior walls are 3D printed. A team of three to four people complete that task using a computer app and monitoring the process. Roofing, doors, windows, and finishing still need carpenters (木工), electricians and painters. Designs are adaptable to individual preferences. Amber Fogarty said, “It’s a journey of discovery. We don’t know what the future holds for this new technology, but we’re excited about its innovative possibilities.” 28. What gave the sixth-graders the idea of starting the project? A. The technology of an organization. B. People’s need for affordable homes. C. 3D printed homes made by a company. D. Suggestions from their science teacher. 29. What can we infer about the project from Paragraph 3? A. It was too expensive for the homeless. B. It aimed to create a sense of community. C. It found a solution to housing problems. D. It hardly considered people’s daily needs. 30. What did Amber Fogarty think of the project? A. It showed that the homeless were cared for. B. It collected a lot of money for the homeless. C. It provided a chance for the homeless to work. D. It made people in the community accept the homeless. 31. What would be the best title for the text? A. 3D printed homes set a good example to future homes B. Homeless people receive plenty of help from organizations C. Showing kindness to the homeless is important in the community D. Students use 3D printing to create a community for the homeless 【答案】28. C 29. B 30. A 31. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要说明了一群六年级学生通过3D打印技术来为无家可归者建立了一个社区，介绍了人们对此的看法。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段““It Takes a Village” began as a project for a science class — inspired by life-size 3D printed homes built by Austin, Texas-based technology company Icon, whose aim is to make affordable housing accessible to everyone.(“需要一个村庄”最初是一个科学课程项目，灵感来自德克萨斯州奥斯汀市的科技公司Icon建造的真人大小的3D打印房屋，该公司的目标是让每个人都能买得起住房)”可知，一家公司制作的3D打印房屋让六年级学生有了开始这个项目的想法。故选C。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“But to build a sense of belonging and purpose, the communities also emphasised areas for frequent interaction among residents. “We wanted to include extras that would make it feel more like a real community,” said Luke Wazorko, 11.(但为了建立归属感和使命感，社区还强调了居民之间频繁互动的区域。11岁的卢克·瓦佐科说：“我们想加入一些额外的东西，让它更像一个真正的社区。”)”可知，这个项目旨在创造一种社区意识。故选B。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段““They get it!” said Amber Fogarty, president of Mobile Loaves & Fishes, anon-profit organization dealing with homelessness in Austin, after learning about the sixth-graders’ project. “The biggest cause of long-term homelessness is a loss in family relationships,” she said. “Housing alone will never solve homelessness, but the community will. People need a place where they are known and loved.”(“他们明白了！”在了解了六年级学生的项目后，负责处理奥斯汀无家可归问题的非营利组织“流动面包和鱼”的总裁安布尔·福格蒂说。“长期无家可归的最大原因是失去了家庭关系，”她说。“住房本身永远无法解决无家可归问题，但社区可以。人们需要一个被了解和被爱的地方。”)”可知，安布尔·福格蒂认为这个项目表明无家可归的人得到了照顾。故选A。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“As Alexandria Country Day School’s sixth-graders created small 3D printed villages to address homelessness, they learned lessons far beyond technology.(亚历山大乡村走读学校的六年级学生创建了小型3D打印村庄来解决无家可归问题，他们学到的教训远远超出了技术)”结合文章主要说明了一群六年级学生通过3D打印技术来为无家可归者建立了一个社区，介绍了人们对此的看法。因此可知，D选项“学生们用3D打印技术为无家可归者创建一个社区”最符合文章标题。故选D。 D For millions of Facebook users, choosing which photo to use for an online profile is an important decision. According to a study by researchers at the UT Dallas Center, the photos we select may reflect individual preferences, but they also appear to reflect more deeply rooted, unconscious cultural differences. Previous research has shown that culture can affect not only language and custom, but also how we experience the world and process information. Western cultures, for example, condition people to think of themselves as highly independent entities(实体), whereas East Asian cultures stress collectivism and interdependence. Dr. Denise Park, co-director of the Center at UT Dallas, and former graduate student Dr. Chih-Mao Huang of the University of Illinois, were curious about whether these patterns of cultural influence extend to cyberspace. In a paper published in the International Journal of Psychology, they examined the profile photographs of more than 500 active Facebook users from the United States and East Asia. Overall, they found that profile photos of Americans are more likely to focus on the individual’s face, while the profiles of East Asians tend to less emphasize the face and include more background features. Americans also show greater smile intensity compared to East Asian Facebook users. The findings show marked cultural differences in the focus of attention among East Asian and American Facebook users. Moreover, they echo previous research on cultural influences on visual perception (感知), attention, and reasoning in the offline world. “We believe these findings relate to a cultural bias to be more individualistic and independent in the US and more communal and interdependent in Asia,” said Park. The research also found that cultural influences over our self-presentation online can shift over time and from place to place. In one of the study samples Americans studying in Japan and Japanese studying in the United States both showed a tendency to adjust their profile photos to the general preferences of their host country. “Facebook constitutes an extended social context in which personal profiles mirror various individual characteristics, private thoughts, and social behaviors,” noted Huang. “As such, the study presents a new approach to investigate cognition and behaviors across cultures by using Facebook as a data collection platform.” 32. The underlined word “condition” in the first paragraph probably means ________. A. advise B. instruct C. shape D. forbid 33. We can know from the passage that Mongolians probably emphasize ________. A. cultural influences B. social behaviors C. independent existence D. collective power 34. It can be inferred that a Korean studying in the US is likely to ________. A. use a picture of his face on Facebook B. adjust to American preferences quickly C. change his profile photos from time to time D. put up a photo of his apartment on Facebook 35. According to Dr. Huang, Facebook can help to ________. A. make up a more extended social context B. study the diversity of worldwide cultures C. promote communication between east and west D. combine different cultures from different aspects 【答案】32. C 33. D 34. A 35. B 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了我们在社交媒体选择的照片作为自己的头像可能反映了个人偏好，但它们似乎也反映了更根深蒂固的、无意识的文化差异。 【32题详解】 词义猜测题。根据文章第一段划线词后半句“whereas East Asian cultures stress collectivism and interdependence.(而东亚文化则强调集体主义和相互依赖。)”并结合上下文可知，作者主要想传达文化传统等对人思维的影响，所以西方文化塑造了人们认为自己是高度独立的个体。所以condition为“塑造”之意。故选C。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Western cultures, for example, shape people to think of themselves as highly independent entities, whereas East Asian cultures stress collectivism and interdependence. (例如，西方文化塑造了人们认为自己是高度独立的个体，而东亚文化则强调集体主义和相互依赖。)”可知，蒙古人属于东亚文化，应该强调集体主义。故选D。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段“In one of the study samples, Americans studying in Japan and Japanese studying in the United States both showed a tendency to adjust their profile photos to the general preferences of their host country. (在其中一个研究样本中，在日本留学的美国人和在美国留学的日本人都显示出一种倾向，即根据所在国的总体喜好调整自己的头像。)”并结合第一段讲的“西方文化塑造了人们认为自己是高度独立的个体”可推断，在美国留学的韩国人很有可能在Facebook上使用自己的照片。故选A。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““Facebook constitutes an extended social context in which personal profiles mirror various individual characteristics, private thoughts, and social behaviors,” noted Huang. “As such, the study presents a new approach to investigate cognition and behaviors across cultures by using Facebook as a data collection platform.”(“Facebook构成了一个扩展的社会背景，在这个背景下，个人资料反映了不同的个人特征、私人思想和社会行为，”黄指出。“因此，这项研究提出了一种新的方法，通过使用Facebook作为数据收集平台，来调查跨文化的认知和行为。”)”可推断，黄博士认为Facebook可以帮助研究世界文化的多样性。故选B。 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。 When others outperform us, should we feel threatened or inspired? Should we fear or respect those who are more capable, more skilled or more successful than us? ___36___ A study conducted by educational psychologists at Brown University explored how kindergartners in the U. S. and China tell stories about peers who perform better than others. ___37___ Chinese children often expressed respect for high achievers and a desire to imitate their success. In contrast, U. S. children’s stories typically focused on negative reactions, including envy and being left out. The findings reflect the cultural narratives (叙述) surrounding achievement in each society. In American culture, the “self” is defined by qualities, and abilities, which are largely fixed. Thus, while the achievement of others reflects their high ability, it becomes a mirror to reveal one’s own lack of ability. ___38___ As a result, Chinese children tend to view others’ achievements not as signs of natural superiority, but as opportunities for learning and self-improvement. ___39___ In China, students’ overall performance may be publicly recognized to encourage success and motivate further improvement. Teachers even invite outstanding graduates to share their experiences and lessons with current students to promote learning. In the U. S., such phenomena are less common as they can be seen as threats to self-esteem. Ultimately, our perceptions and reactions to others’ success are profoundly shaped by cultural narratives surrounding achievement. ___40___ These narratives, in other words, determine whether we feel threatened or inspired, fearful or respectful, annoyed or eager to copy others. A. It can be a source of motivation. B. These cultural differences extend to educational practices. C. Education facilitates personal growth and social progress. D. They influence our motivations, relationships and actions. E. Both groups told detailed stories but showed clear differences in content. F. Different responses can lead to constructive or destructive reactions and actions. G. However, Chinese culture stresses abilities and qualities can improve through efforts. 【答案】36. F 37. E 38. G 39. B 40. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是中美两国儿童面对同伴优异表现时的不同反应及背后的文化差异，探讨成就叙事如何影响人们的动机与行为。 【36题详解】 根据上文的“When others outperform us, should we feel threatened or inspired? Should we fear or respect those who are more capable, more skilled or more successful than us?(当别人比我们表现得更好时，我们应该感到受到威胁还是得到激励？我们应该害怕还是尊敬那些比我们更有能力、更熟练或更成功的人？)”可知，此处就别人比我们表现更好时，我们会做出怎样的回应的问题，结合下文讲述的中美两国对该问题的不同回应可知，此空需要一个能够引出下文的内容，F选项“Different responses can lead to constructive or destructive reactions and actions.(不同的反应可以导致建设性或破坏性的回应和行为。)”回应了上文的问题，同时引出下文讲述的内容，符合语境。故选F项。 【37题详解】 根据上文的“A study conducted by educational psychologists at Brown University explored how kindergartners in the U. S. and China tell stories about peers who perform better than others.(一项由布朗大学的教育心理学家进行的研究探讨了美国和中国的幼儿园儿童如何讲述关于比其他同龄人表现更好的同伴的故事。)”可知，此处提到了布朗大学的一项研究，结合下文的“Chinese children often expressed respect for high achievers and a desire to imitate their success. In contrast, U. S. children’s stories typically focused on negative reactions, including envy and being left out. (中国儿童经常表达对高成就者的尊敬以及模仿他们成功的愿望。相比之下，美国儿童的故事通常集中在负面反应上，包括嫉妒和被排挤的感觉。)”可知，研究的结果显示中美两国的儿童对此产生了明显的不同，由此可知，此处需要一个具体的描述来引出研究的结果，E选项“Both groups told detailed stories but showed clear differences in content.(两组儿童都讲述了详细的故事，但在内容上显示出了明显的差异。)”承接上文提到的研究，且阐述了两国儿童存在的差异性，进而引出下文详细解释两国之间存在的明显差异，符合语境。故选E项。 【38题详解】 根据上文的“In American culture, the “self” is defined by qualities, and abilities, which are largely fixed. Thus, while the achievement of others reflects their high ability, it becomes a mirror to reveal one’s own lack of ability.(在美国文化中，“自我”是由那些大多固定不变的品质和能力所定义的。因此，虽然他人的成就反映了他们高水平的能力，但这也成为了一面镜子，映照出自己能力的不足。)”可知，此处阐述了美国文化对“自我”的定义以及因此带来的影响，结合下文的“As a result, Chinese children tend to view others’ achievements not as signs of natural superiority, but as opportunities for learning and self-improvement.(因此，中国儿童倾向于将他人的成就视为学习和自我提升的机会，而不是自然优越性的标志。)”可知，此处阐述了中国文化对儿童产生的影响，由此可知，此空讲述的与中国文化标准相关，G选项“However, Chinese culture stresses abilities and qualities can improve through efforts.(然而，中国文化强调能力与品质是可以通过努力得到提升的。)”讲述的内容与上文的内容为转折关系，且与空后的内容为因果关系，符合逻辑。故选G项。 【39题详解】 分析语篇可知，此处应为本段的主题句，结合下文“In China, students’ overall performance may be publicly recognized to encourage success and motivate further improvement. Teachers even invite outstanding graduates to share their experiences and lessons with current students to promote learning. In the U. S., such phenomena are less common as they can be seen as threats to self-esteem.(在中国，学生的整体表现可能会被公开认可，以鼓励成功并激励进一步的改进。教师甚至会邀请杰出的毕业生与当前的学生分享他们的经验和教训，以促进学习。而在美国，这样的现象较为少见，因为它们可能被视为对自尊心的威胁。)”可知，在中国表现好的孩子会被公开认可，教师会让其分享他们的经验和教训，而在美国，这被视为对自尊心的威胁，由此可知，此处讲述的是这种文化差异在教育领域的不同，B选项“These cultural differences extend to educational practices.(这些文化差异延伸到了教育实践。)”讲述的内容与教育相关，概括了本段的主题，为接下来的具体例子提供了合理的过渡。故选B项。 【40题详解】 根据下文的“These narratives, in other words, determine whether we feel threatened or inspired, fearful or respectful, annoyed or eager to copy others.(换句话说，这些叙述决定了我们是感到受到威胁还是得到激励，是感到恐惧还是尊敬，是感到恼怒还是渴望模仿他人。)”可知，此处是对该空内容换一种说法的表述，由此可推断，此空应是对这些叙述对我们产生的影响的另外一种表述方式，D选项“They influence our motivations, relationships and actions.(它们影响着我们的动机、人际关系和行为。)”中的they指代的是上文的cultural narratives surrounding achievement，且讲述的内容与下文的内容吻合，符合语境。故选D项。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I’ve always been terrified of heights.

Initially used as sunshades, these early umbrellas ___56___ (fashion) from materials like silk or paper, and waterproofed with wax (蜡) and lacquer (漆) ___57___ (offer) rain protection. According to Chinese legend, the first umbrella in ancient China was invented by Lady Yun, the wife of Lu Ban, a renowned craftsman in Chinese history. At the time, people relied on straw hats and capes during rainy days, which proved inconvenient for travel. Inspired by ___58___ sight of people taking shelter under eaves (屋檐), Lady Yun created a folding device made of bamboo and fabric. LuBan later improved this design, making it ___59___ (practical)for rain and sun protection than before, paving the way ___60___ the modern umbrella — a proof of the wisdom and ___61___ (creative) of early Chinese people. Pioneer ___62___ China may be in the development of umbrellas, similar devices appeared in other ancient civilizations, such as Egypt, Assyria, and Greece, ___63___ (primary) for sun protection. The word “umbrella” ___64___(it) originates from the Latin “umbra”, meaning “shade”. Over time, as waterproofing techniques advanced, umbrellas changed from simple sunshades to essential tools for rain protection, ____65____ (gain) widespread popularity across the globe. 【答案】56. were fashioned 57. to offer 58. the 59. more practical 60. for 61. creativity 62. as 63. primarily 64. itself 65. gaining 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，介绍了雨伞的起源，讲述了中国古代雨伞的发明过程，以及在其他古代文明中类似遮阳工具的出现，还说明了“umbrella”这个词的词源，以及雨伞随着防水技术发展而在全球普及的情况。 【56题详解】 考查被动语态。句意：最初用作遮阳伞，这些早期的雨伞是由丝绸或纸等材料制成的，并涂有蜡和漆以防水。谓语动词fashion与主语umbrellas之间是被动关系，要使用被动语态，因句子表示的是过去发生的动作，谓语动词使用一般过去时的被动语态，且主语为名词复数。故填were fashioned。 【57题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：同上。空白处在句子中作状语，表示目的，所以使用动词不定式，表示涂蜡和漆的目的是防水。故填to offer。 【58题详解】 考查冠词。句意：受人们在屋檐下避雨这一景象的启发，云夫人创造了一种由竹子和织物制成的折叠装置。空白处后面的名词sight被后面的介词短语修饰表示特指，使用定冠词。故填the。 【59题详解】 考查形容词比较级。句意：鲁班后来改进了这个设计，使它比以前更实用，可以防雨和防晒，为现代雨伞铺平了道路——这是早期中国人智慧和创造力的证明。根据上文“LuBan later improved this design(鲁班后来改进了这个设计)”可知，上文提到了鲁班后来改进了这个设计，可推理出此处要把鲁班改进设计前后雨伞的功能进行比较，空白处应填入形容词比较级。故填more practical。 【60题详解】 考查介词。句意：同上。“pave the way for... ”为固定短语，含义为“为……铺平道路”，符合句意。故填for。 【61题详解】 考查名词。句意：同上。空白处在句子中作介词of的宾语，使用名词，creative的名词为creativity意为“创造力”。故填creativity。 【62题详解】 考查连词。句意：虽然中国在雨伞的发展方面可能是先驱，但类似的装置也出现在其他古代文明中，如埃及、亚述和希腊，主要是用于防晒。根据下文“similar devices appeared in other ancient civilizations, such as Egypt, Assyria, and Greece(类似的装置也出现在其他古代文明中，如埃及、亚述和希腊)”可知，下文提到了类似的装置也出现在其他古代文明中，如埃及、亚述和希腊，可推理出空白处引导让步状语从句，因让步状语从句为倒装结构，可推理出本句使用了“表语/状语/动词原形 + as + 从句”结构。故填as。 【63题详解】 考查副词。句意：同上。空白处在句子中作状语修饰整个句子，使用副词，primary的副词为primarily意为“最初”符合句意。故填primarily。 【64题详解】 考查代词。句意：“umbrella”这个词本身就来源于拉丁语“umbra”，意思是“阴影”。空白处在句子中作主语The word “umbrella”的同位语，表示“umbrella”这个词本身，所以空白处填反身代词。故填itself。 【65题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：随着时间的推移，随着防水技术的进步，雨伞从简单的遮阳伞变成了防雨的必备工具，在全球范围内得到了广泛的普及。此处为非谓语动词作状语，gain与逻辑主语之间为主动意义，表示一个自然而然的结果，使用现在分词作状语。故填gaining。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 66. 假设你是李华，在英国笔友Owen的帮助下你获得了上周六学校举办的以“人工智能改变我们的生活”为主题的英语演讲比赛的第一名，请用英语给Owen写一封邮件，内容包括： 1.表示感谢。 2.回顾他对你的帮助。 3.邀请他来中国。 注意：1.词数80左右；2.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Dear Owen, I can’t wait to share with you the exciting news that I won the first place in the English speech contest themed “Artificial Intelligence Changes Our Life” held by our school last Saturday.

His mother who was engaged in her work replied casually, and he went away. It was bitter cold outside. Though he had his cap and muffler (厚手套) with him, he could still perceive much cold. He followed his daily routine when something different happened to him. There laid a small puppy on the other side of the road, just beside a canal, who seemed shivering and trembling with the cold. He went towards it, looked into its eyes, experienced its pain and couldn’t help but pick it up on his hands. It was voiceless, but expressed everything to the boy, without any language. There was no other thought which stroked his mind and he decided to take that puppy with him to his home. Then came a thought of his mother, who never liked dogs and restricted whenever possible. But his compassionate feeling overcame all his fears and he went back to his home, holding the puppy in his hands. He headed on towards his home though he wanted not to go and thought if he could delay his arrival at his home, but no way possible … After five minutes of thoughtful walk, he reached his home, where was his mother, who was surely to be annoyed with a puppy in his hands. He got inside his home and underwent what was expected. His mother asked furiously “What is it?”, and continued a number of questions when Rohan uttered a single sentence “Mumma, he needs us”, which made her mother believe “What Love is”. And his mother remembered the words of her favourite teacher “Love is the feeling to help someone when he is in need, knowing there would be barriers” . 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。 His mother allowed that puppy to stay with them. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then came the day when Rohan had to leave home to study abroad _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version 1 His mother allowed that puppy to stay with them. Surprised but overjoyed, Rohan thanked his mother and then found a warm place to settle him. About two hours later, the trembling puppy recovered and became full of life. He looked so cute and adorable that Rohan fell in deep love with him immediately. From then on, apart from feeding and walking him, Rohan played with him and even trained him to behave well every day after school. Gradually, he became attached to Rohan and familiar with the whole family. Then came the day when Rohan had to leave home to study abroad. Worried about his companion, Rohan hated to part from the family. Sensing Rohan’s unease, his mother went over and told him that she was willing to take care of him during his absence. She also said she knew he needed them and that there should be no barrier to love. Deeply moved and grateful, Rohan hugged his mother. The dog wagged his tail around them, seeming to understand what was happening. With his bags packed, Rohan said good-bye to his family and set out on his journey with great relief. One possible version 2 His mother allowed that puppy to stay with them. Rohan thanked his mother many times, rushed into the bathroom (puppy in hand) and showered the puppy. From then on Rohan and the puppy accompanied each other, played and grew together. At first, the little creature was cautious and shy, but gradually he became familiar with the family and accepted “Puppy” as his name. Every morning Puppy would see Rohan off to school reluctantly. Every evening he would welcome Rohan back home, wagging his tail and licking Rohan passionately. The two were just like peas and carrots. Then came the day when Rohan had to leave home to study abroad. He repeatedly asked his mother to take good care of Puppy before he tore himself away from home. Mom took over his daily routine. She and Puppy accompanied each other and played with each other. Every morning and evening she would walk Puppy to the park and the two had great fun. One evening, when Rohan video-called his mother, Puppy appeared on the screen, licking his mother’s cheeks now and the screen then. Seeing this, Rohan thanked his mother wholeheartedly. “Son, he needs us.” his mother stroked Puppy on the head, smiling, “and we need him.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Rohan捡到一条冻的奄奄一息的小狗，在明知妈妈会竭力反对的情况下把它带回了家，他的母亲愤怒地问“这是什么？”当Rohan说出一句“妈妈，他需要我们。”时，她继续问了很多问题，这让她的母亲相信“爱是什么”。他的母亲记得她最喜欢的老师说过的话：“爱是一种在有需要的时候帮助别人的感觉，知道会有障碍”。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“他妈妈允许那只小狗和他们住在一起。”可知，第一段可描写Rohan很高兴、很感激，小狗的安置、恢复、成长和小狗与家人的相处等。 ②由第二段首句内容“后来有一天，Rohan不得不离开家去国外学习”可知，第二段可描写离家的后顾之忧：谁来照料狗狗，如何解决（可以是Rohan提出请求，也可以是妈妈主动请缨）。 2.续写线索：Rohan很高兴、很感激——安置和照顾小狗——小狗融入家庭——离家的后顾之忧——妈妈主动请缨——松了一口气，踏上了旅途 3.词汇激活（一个词汇要写出相近的表达） 行为类 ①安置：settle/emplace ②照顾：take care of /attend to ③出发：set out/start off 情绪类 ①高兴的：overjoyed /happy ②轻松地：with great relief/ with ease 【点睛】[高分句型1] He looked so cute and adorable that Rohan fell in deep love with him immediately.

If that job was left to any other ten-year-old, it would have turned out frustrating, difficult, and a little discouraging. But Duncan was different. Not only was she already talented enough to earn money even at that age, but she also had a rare kind of confidence that helped her treat troubles as fuel —something to elevate the fire that is already burning inside of her. It’s no surprise, then, that when she moved to New York to join a theatre company, she found herself restricted. The existing dancing style, their way of operating—all of this seemed to her the work of a misguided past. Duncan was very direct about what she wanted, confidently telling people she had a different vision of dance that she was going to spread in the world. This, naturally, led to ridicule and laughs early on, but as she built up her work, these instances became less frequent. Today, she is remembered as “The Mother of Dance,” with much of the modern art owing its expressive style to her influence. Inspired by the ancient Greeks, she brought the style to life. In her autobiography (自传), one of the things Duncan frequently refers to as the basis of her expressive spirit is the fact that she had a childhood where she wasn’t constantly watched. The expectations of her mother (who raised her) were open-ended. It was the freedom of this lifestyle that drove her to see what she could do. Growing up, before she left school, she was told one of two things: that she was either completely useless or that she was a genius. There was nothing in between. Even when she started working, people either bowed to her or they basically ignored her. But there wasn’t one moment Duncan doubted her own genius. There is an old quotation “if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” And it captures an important truth. At school, Isadora Duncan was a failure. In the dance hall, she gave form to brilliance. 24. What does the underlined phrase “treat troubles as fuel” mean? A. Duncan used troubles to push her forward towards her dream. B. Duncan was good at burning away everyday troubles. C. Troubles turned Duncan into a confident girl. D. Troubles lit the fire of dancing in Duncan. 25. Which of the following is TRUE about Duncan? A. Her experience in New York was the foundation of her career. B. Her teaching job when she was little destroyed her confidence. C. Her dancing style was not very well received at the beginning. D. Her mother set higher expectation on her than she could bear. 26. What does the author try to tell the readers in the last paragraph? A. It is useless climbing a tree to catch fish. B. Everybody is a genius in his own way. C. Miseries come from human stupidity. D. Teachers can impact students greatly. 27. What is this passage mainly about? A. Isadora Duncan’s childhood and her achievements today. B. Duncan’s career development and other dancers’ opinions of her. C. Isadora Duncan’s early experiences and the reasons for her success. D. Duncan’s high status in the dancing world and her unique expressive style. C As Alexandria Country Day School’s sixth-graders created small 3D printed villages to address homelessness, they learned lessons far beyond technology. “It Takes a Village” began as a project for a science class — inspired by life-size 3D printed homes built by Austin, Texas-based technology company Icon, whose aim is to make affordable housing accessible to everyone. The tech-focused project quickly developed into an exercise to bring about lasting change, said science teacher Alison McDonald. “When most people think of helping the homeless, they think of food and clothing drives,” said Juliet Galicia, 11. While necessary, those are temporary solutions. Even housing by itself is not a complete solution. In designing their leave-homelessness-behind neighborhoods, shelters, food stores and schools came first. But to build a sense of belonging and purpose, the communities also emphasised areas for frequent interaction among residents. “We wanted to include extras that would make it feel more like a real community,” said Luke Wazorko, 11. “They get it!” said Amber Fogarty, president of Mobile Loaves & Fishes, anon-profit organization dealing with homelessness in Austin, after learning about the sixth-graders’ project. “The biggest cause of long-term homelessness is a loss in family relationships,” she said. “Housing alone will never solve homelessness, but the community will. People need a place where they are known and loved.” Many companies around the world are experimenting with this technology. So far, only interior (内部的) and exterior walls are 3D printed. A team of three to four people complete that task using a computer app and monitoring the process. Roofing, doors, windows, and finishing still need carpenters (木工), electricians and painters. Designs are adaptable to individual preferences. Amber Fogarty said, “It’s a journey of discovery. We don’t know what the future holds for this new technology, but we’re excited about its innovative possibilities.” 28. What gave the sixth-graders the idea of starting the project? A. The technology of an organization. B. People’s need for affordable homes. C. 3D printed homes made by a company. D. Suggestions from their science teacher. 29. What can we infer about the project from Paragraph 3? A. It was too expensive for the homeless. B. It aimed to create a sense of community. C. It found a solution to housing problems. D. It hardly considered people’s daily needs. 30. What did Amber Fogarty think of the project? A. It showed that the homeless were cared for. B. It collected a lot of money for the homeless. C. It provided a chance for the homeless to work. D. It made people in the community accept the homeless. 31. What would be the best title for the text? A. 3D printed homes set a good example to future homes B. Homeless people receive plenty of help from organizations C. Showing kindness to the homeless is important in the community D. Students use 3D printing to create a community for the homeless D For millions of Facebook users, choosing which photo to use for an online profile is an important decision. According to a study by researchers at the UT Dallas Center, the photos we select may reflect individual preferences, but they also appear to reflect more deeply rooted, unconscious cultural differences. Previous research has shown that culture can affect not only language and custom, but also how we experience the world and process information. Western cultures, for example, condition people to think of themselves as highly independent entities(实体), whereas East Asian cultures stress collectivism and interdependence. Dr. Denise Park, co-director of the Center at UT Dallas, and former graduate student Dr. Chih-Mao Huang of the University of Illinois, were curious about whether these patterns of cultural influence extend to cyberspace. In a paper published in the International Journal of Psychology, they examined the profile photographs of more than 500 active Facebook users from the United States and East Asia. Overall, they found that profile photos of Americans are more likely to focus on the individual’s face, while the profiles of East Asians tend to less emphasize the face and include more background features. Americans also show greater smile intensity compared to East Asian Facebook users. The findings show marked cultural differences in the focus of attention among East Asian and American Facebook users. Moreover, they echo previous research on cultural influences on visual perception (感知), attention, and reasoning in the offline world. “We believe these findings relate to a cultural bias to be more individualistic and independent in the US and more communal and interdependent in Asia,” said Park. The research also found that cultural influences over our self-presentation online can shift over time and from place to place. In one of the study samples Americans studying in Japan and Japanese studying in the United States both showed a tendency to adjust their profile photos to the general preferences of their host country. “Facebook constitutes an extended social context in which personal profiles mirror various individual characteristics, private thoughts, and social behaviors,” noted Huang. “As such, the study presents a new approach to investigate cognition and behaviors across cultures by using Facebook as a data collection platform.” 32. The underlined word “condition” in the first paragraph probably means ________. A. advise B. instruct C. shape D. forbid 33. We can know from the passage that Mongolians probably emphasize ________. A cultural influences B. social behaviors C. independent existence D. collective power 34. It can be inferred that a Korean studying in the US is likely to ________. A. use a picture of his face on Facebook B. adjust to American preferences quickly C change his profile photos from time to time D. put up a photo of his apartment on Facebook 35. According to Dr. Huang, Facebook can help to ________. A. make up a more extended social context B. study the diversity of worldwide cultures C. promote communication between east and west D. combine different cultures from different aspects 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。 When others outperform us, should we feel threatened or inspired? Should we fear or respect those who are more capable, more skilled or more successful than us? ___36___ A study conducted by educational psychologists at Brown University explored how kindergartners in the U. S. and China tell stories about peers who perform better than others. ___37___ Chinese children often expressed respect for high achievers and a desire to imitate their success. In contrast, U. S. children’s stories typically focused on negative reactions, including envy and being left out. The findings reflect the cultural narratives (叙述) surrounding achievement in each society. In American culture, the “self” is defined by qualities, and abilities, which are largely fixed. Thus, while the achievement of others reflects their high ability, it becomes a mirror to reveal one’s own lack of ability. ___38___ As a result, Chinese children tend to view others’ achievements not as signs of natural superiority, but as opportunities for learning and self-improvement. ___39___ In China, students’ overall performance may be publicly recognized to encourage success and motivate further improvement. Teachers even invite outstanding graduates to share their experiences and lessons with current students to promote learning. In the U. S., such phenomena are less common as they can be seen as threats to self-esteem. Ultimately, our perceptions and reactions to others’ success are profoundly shaped by cultural narratives surrounding achievement. ___40___ These narratives, in other words, determine whether we feel threatened or inspired, fearful or respectful, annoyed or eager to copy others. A. It can be a source of motivation. B. These cultural differences extend to educational practices. C. Education facilitates personal growth and social progress. D. They influence our motivations, relationships and actions. E. Both groups told detailed stories but showed clear differences in content. F. Different responses can lead to constructive or destructive reactions and actions. G. However, Chinese culture stresses abilities and qualities can improve through efforts. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I’ve always been terrified of heights.
