When Christopher Kulish finally reached Mount Everest’s 29,035-foot peak, he joined a group known as the “Seven Summits Club”. But the 62-year-old Colorado lawyer died suddenly Monday after returning to the first camp below the mountain’s summit. He’s the second American to die in the past week after reaching Everest’s highest point. His family believes the cause was a heart attack. Last week, 55-year-old Donald Cash died just after reaching the Everest peak. He also had reached the highest point on all seven continents. Including Christopher and Cash, at least 11 people have died on Mount Everest this year. The deaths come among reports of overcrowding on the popular mountain. The Nepali government granted a total of 381 permits to climb Everest this year, a number that doesn’t include guides who are on the mountain as well. For some climbers, that traffic has meant longer wait time—some told the Himalayan Times the wait has exceeded two hours between the last camp and the peak. “When there’s a crowd, being a more experienced climber won’t help you,” Mountaineer O’Brien, who has also climbed the seven summits, said. “When a climber is stuck in that traffic, their body is starting to deteriorate (恶化) and the descent is often harder than the climb.” “There’s no simple explanation for the string of deaths,” climbing expert Alan Arnette said. “Weather is one factor causing overcrowding. Meanwhile, the cost to climb Mount Everest has decreased, which means more people are making the journey.” Still, Christopher was no beginner. His family said he’d been mountain climbing for five decades. He arrived at the base camp nearly two months before his climb so he could give himself time to adapt to the conditions. His brother, Mark Kulish, described being a lawyer as a “day job” for Christopher. Climbing was his passion. 24. What made longer wait time on Mount Everest? A. Lacking guides. B. Overcrowding. C. Bad weather. D. Getting Government’s permission. 25. Why did Christopher arrive at the base camp so early before climbing? A. To wait for his friends. B. To learn about the mountain. C. To clear the traffic jam. D. To adapt to conditions earlier. 26. What do we know about Christopher? A. He joined the “Seven Summits Club” at the base camp. B. He has reached the highest point on all seven continents. C. He died from a heart attack below the Mount Everest’s peak. D. 11 people following him died after reaching the Everest peak this year. C Young students are often considered “digital natives,” with technology integrated into every aspect of their lives. While this can be an advantage in some situations, research has shown that the impact is not entirely positive—the Internet allows them to quickly find information at the cost of significant distraction in class. Without being attentive, students will be incapable of processing information, which means they’re not going to be able to understand, analyse, criticise and come to some decision about the information. When students can’t seem to focus, a common idea among teachers is that short is good. Many teachers simply cut lessons into smaller pieces. Some teachers begin classes with mindfulness exercises when students need to concentrate. However, it turns out that any sort of “tech breaks” could counteract the desires to come back to study. Some teachers also choose to “meet students where they are” on platforms like YouTube. A 2018 study from Pearson found that students tended to stay away from physical books, preferring video as a source of information second only to teachers. By meeting students where they already engage and create, teachers can better catch attention. However, while some educators are welcoming technology in the classroom, multiple studies have shown more traditional classrooms can be more successful. A 2014 study found taking notes in longhand helped students withhold information better than using a laptop. Researchers also point out switching between short teaching pieces too quickly could take valuable comprehension from the students. Students need time to engage with a topic before moving on. Even many tech advocates find value in traditional methods and suggest an integrated learning. They agree teachers’ authority remains vital and the face-to-face interaction between students and teachers is still the primary component in the classroom. Technology will be favoured only when it improves a lesson in ways that are impossible offline. Success is no longer about knowing the most. Instead, it’s the ability to think critically and creatively, the very skills that digital media weakens by lowering attention spans. If you think of people who became successful in the tech world, it wasn’t because they could code; it was because they could think. Digital natives will continue to eagerly adopt new media. Teachers have no choice but to upgrade themselves, not only to ensure students can access and take advantage of new technologies, but to educate students to succeed in a world constantly trying to distract them. 27. What result has technology brought to students? A. It urges them to process information. B. It prevents them obtaining information. C. It ruins their possible classroom distraction. D. It damages their ability to digest information. 28. What does the underlined word “counteract” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Maintain. B. Motivate. C. Reduce. D. Replace. 29. What can we learn from the passage? A. Direct instruction takes priority in lessons. B. Digital resources will weaken offline learning. C. Small lessons can engage students in learning. D. Laptop noting helps students gain knowledge better. 30. What is the main idea of the passage? A Students need to learn to get rid of social media. B. Teachers should progress to educate the young generation. C. The benefits of technology on education outweigh its harm. D. Traditional methods are favoured by both teachers and students. D The Price of a Piece of History A fresh lemon can be bought for less than $1. But in 2008, Cowan’s Auctions (拍卖) in Cincinnati sold a lemon blackened with age for $2,350. What was so special about this lemon? It was said to be from a tree planted by George Washington. According to a handwritten note attached to the bottle containing the lemon, the fruit was picked by Washington’s “old gardener” some 43 years after the first president’s death. Collecting a piece of history, or an object associated with a famous person, is not fresh. Yet determining potential values of such objects isn’t easy. For one thing, their origin, or history of ownership, is both important and sometimes difficult to prove. Photographs of the famous person with the object, as well as letters, diaries referring to the object can help. The uniqueness of many of historic objects makes it more difficult to put a value on them. To assess the value of a Picasso painting, one can look at recent prices paid for other Picasso paintings of the same period, similar size or style. Finding another recent sale of a lemon planted by George Washington is a different matter. Katie Horstman, head of Cowan, says she could find no comparables for the lemon as she prepared the auction. However, she finally arrived at an estimated (估计的) value by researching auction records for objects somehow associated with Washington that had appeared on the market. Often the final selling price of objects touched by history has to do with the moods and passions of the collectors and other potential buyers expected to be present on auction day. But even the experts can make a mistake sometimes. For instance, a 2016 Christie’s sale in London included a 1935 jacket worn by Albert Einstein, and a pocket watch the physicist had owned in 1900 when he was 21 and still largely unknown. The jacket sold for ₤110,500, well above its estimated value of ₤40,000 to ₤60,000. The watch, meanwhile, which had an estimated value of ₤15,000 to ₤20,000, sold for ₤266,500. Thomas Venning, director of Christie, has his explanation for why the watch sold for so much more than the jacket, and likely for more than the experts would have guessed. There are photographs of Einstein, the father of relativity, wearing the jacket, Mr. Venning says. “But Einstein’s jacket didn’t change the world. The watch, and the sense of time, is what we know him for, which made it more valuable to collectors.” 31. What do we know about the lemon sold for $2,350? A. It has been kept well by Washington’s gardener. B It was associated with Washington due to a note. C. It was collected 43 years before Washington’s death. D. It was put in the bottle by Washington a century ago. 32. The author mentions the Picasso painting to ________. A. highlight the difficulty of valuing the lemon B. compare its value with Washington’s lemon C illustrate the way to assess a piece of history D. analyse the value of objects related to Picasso 33. What can we learn from the passage? A. No comparables led to the high value of the lemon. B. The estimated value is expected to dominate the final price. C. Passions of the collectors are the decisive factor of the value. D. Documents referring to the object can help determine the value. 34. What can we infer from the passage? A. Historic objects are like a mirror reflecting reality. B. It is reasonable to value historic objects at a high price. C. Historic objects offer people a sense of changing the world. D. Collectors are responsive to estimated value of historic objects. 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分，共10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The Art of Slow Reading If you are reading this article in print, chances are that you will only get through half of what I have written. And if you are reading this online, you may not even finish a fifth. ____35____ They suggest that many of us no longer have the concentration to read articles through to their conclusion. So are we getting stupider? Actually our online habits are damaging the mental power we need to process and understand textual information. Round-the-clock news makes us read from one article to the next without necessarily engaging fully with any of the content. Our reading is frequently interrupted by the noise of the latest email and we are now absorbing short bursts of words on Twitter and Facebook more regularly than longer texts. ____36____ But we are gradually forgetting how to sit back, think carefully, and relate all the facts to each other. ____37____ A desperate bunch of academics want us to take our time while reading, and re-reading. They ask us to switch off our computers every so often and rediscover both the joy of personal engagement with printed texts, and the ability to process them fully. What's to be done then? Most slow readers realize that total rejection of the web is extremely unrealistic. They feel that getaway from technology for a while is the answer. ____38____ Personally, I'm not sure whether I could ever go offline for long. Even while writing this article, I am switching constantly between sites, skimming too often, absorbing too little. Internet reading has become too rooted in my daily life for me to change. I read essays and articles not in hard copy but as PDFs. I suspect that many readers are in a similar position. ____39____ You can download a computer application called Freedom, which allows you to read in peace by cutting off your Internet connection. Or if you want to avoid being disturbed by the Internet, you could always download offline reader Instapaper for your iPhone. If you're still reading my article, that is slow reading. A. The Internet is probably part of the problem. B. Now some campaigns are advocating slow reading. C. These are the two findings from the recent research projects. D. But if you just occasionally want to read more slowly, help is at hand. E. Some of them have suggested turning their computers off for one day a week. F. Slow reading can help connect a reader to neighborhood and become popular. G. Because of the Internet, we have become very good at collecting information. 第三部分：书面表达(共两节，32分) 第一节：阅读下面短文，根据短文内容在答题卡相应题号后的横线上写下相关信息，完成对该问题的回答。 (共4小题;第40至41题每小题2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分) 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求回答问题。 Doctors in Bristol can send patients on a free course from this month, which uses stand-up comedy to help patients overcome their trauma (创伤). The course was pioneered by Angie Belcher, a comedian at the University of Bristol. Comedy is a natural human trait (特质). Every night we come back home from work and tell our family what our day was like, but on the way home we’ll make up details, and try to make our stories funnier to entertain family members. Professional comedy education is to give a tool to take this to a more polished and informed level. The content of the six-week course is described as a “combination of psychology, comedy and storytelling.” Actually, past traumas are perfect for comedy. Comedy doesn’t come from the happy moments of our life, but from our everyday struggles. People, who’ve been through big life experiences, such as the loss of a close friend or ill health, often can’t wait to share their stories, mostly because there’s always something funny about the situation. We can accept and honor the comedy of a situation, as much as the sadness of it. While the comedy course can’t take the place of traditional clinical approaches, talking about our trauma in a funny way is quite lovely, and more importantly, it has a chain reaction on our audience, and we help other people to deal with their sadness. When we bring our stories alive for others, it makes other people feel less alone. Having our experiences mirrored back to us is hugely comforting. Comedy builds community. 40. Who was the course pioneered by? _______________________________________________________________________________________________ 41. What is the content of the course? _______________________________________________________________________________________________ 42. Please underline the false part in the following statement and explain why. Comedy comes from our everyday struggles, and from the happy moments of our life as well. _______________________________________________________________________________________________ 43. If you meet a trauma, would you like to take the comedy course? Why?

When Christopher Kulish finally reached Mount Everest’s 29,035-foot peak, he joined a group known as the “Seven Summits Club”. But the 62-year-old Colorado lawyer died suddenly Monday after returning to the first camp below the mountain’s summit. He’s the second American to die in the past week after reaching Everest’s highest point. His family believes the cause was a heart attack. Last week, 55-year-old Donald Cash died just after reaching the Everest peak. He also had reached the highest point on all seven continents. Including Christopher and Cash, at least 11 people have died on Mount Everest this year. The deaths come among reports of overcrowding on the popular mountain. The Nepali government granted a total of 381 permits to climb Everest this year, a number that doesn’t include guides who are on the mountain as well. For some climbers, that traffic has meant longer wait time—some told the Himalayan Times the wait has exceeded two hours between the last camp and the peak. “When there’s a crowd, being a more experienced climber won’t help you,” Mountaineer O’Brien, who has also climbed the seven summits, said. “When a climber is stuck in that traffic, their body is starting to deteriorate (恶化) and the descent is often harder than the climb.” “There’s no simple explanation for the string of deaths,” climbing expert Alan Arnette said. “Weather is one factor causing overcrowding. Meanwhile, the cost to climb Mount Everest has decreased, which means more people are making the journey.” Still, Christopher was no beginner. His family said he’d been mountain climbing for five decades. He arrived at the base camp nearly two months before his climb so he could give himself time to adapt to the conditions. His brother, Mark Kulish, described being a lawyer as a “day job” for Christopher. Climbing was his passion. 24. What made longer wait time on Mount Everest? A. Lacking guides. B. Overcrowding. C. Bad weather. D. Getting Government’s permission. 25. Why did Christopher arrive at the base camp so early before climbing? A. To wait for his friends. B. To learn about the mountain. C. To clear the traffic jam. D. To adapt to conditions earlier. 26. What do we know about Christopher? A. He joined the “Seven Summits Club” at the base camp. B. He has reached the highest point on all seven continents. C. He died from a heart attack below the Mount Everest’s peak. D. 11 people following him died after reaching the Everest peak this year. 【答案】24. B 25. D 26. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了资深登山爱好者Christopher Kulish在攀登七大洲最高峰返回时在第一个营地突然死亡，文章说明了造成攀登最高峰人员死亡的原因以及Christopher的生平事迹。 24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“The deaths come among reports of overcrowding on the popular mountain.(有报道称，这座颇受欢迎的山峰过于拥挤，造成了这些死亡)”以及下文“For some climbers, that traffic has meant longer wait time—some told the Himalayan Times the wait has exceeded two hours between the last camp and the peak. (对一些登山者来说，这样的拥挤意味着更长的等待时间——一些人告诉《喜马拉雅时报》，从最后一个营地到山顶已经等了两个多小时)”由此可知，过度拥挤使得珠峰上的等待时间更长。故选B。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“He arrived at the base camp nearly two months before his climb so he could give himself time to adapt to the conditions. (他在登山前两个月就到达了大本营，这样他就有时间适应环境。)”可知，Christopher在开始攀登前很早就到达了大本营，是为了更早适应气候条件。故选D。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“It was his final climb to reach the highest summit on all seven continents. When Christopher Kulish finally reached Mount Everest’s 29,035-foot peak, he joined a group known as the “Seven Summits Club”. (这是他攀登七大洲最高峰的最后一次攀登。当Christopher Kulish最终登上珠穆朗玛峰29035英尺高的山峰时，他加入了一个名为“七峰俱乐部”的精英组织)；以及第二段“Last week, 55-year-old Donald Cash died just after reaching the Everest peak. He also had reached the highest point on all seven continents. Including Christopher and Cash, at least 11 people have died on Mount Everest this year. (上周，55岁的唐纳德·卡什在登顶珠峰后不久去世。他还登上了七大洲的最高点。包括克里斯托弗和卡什在内，今年至少有11人在珠穆朗玛峰上死亡。)”由此可知，Christopher已经登上了七大洲的最高点。故选B。 C Young students are often considered “digital natives,” with technology integrated into every aspect of their lives. While this can be an advantage in some situations, research has shown that the impact is not entirely positive—the Internet allows them to quickly find information at the cost of significant distraction in class. Without being attentive, students will be incapable of processing information, which means they’re not going to be able to understand, analyse, criticise and come to some decision about the information. When students can’t seem to focus, a common idea among teachers is that short is good. Many teachers simply cut lessons into smaller pieces. Some teachers begin classes with mindfulness exercises when students need to concentrate. However, it turns out that any sort of “tech breaks” could counteract the desires to come back to study. Some teachers also choose to “meet students where they are” on platforms like YouTube. A 2018 study from Pearson found that students tended to stay away from physical books, preferring video as a source of information second only to teachers. By meeting students where they already engage and create, teachers can better catch attention. However, while some educators are welcoming technology in the classroom, multiple studies have shown more traditional classrooms can be more successful. A 2014 study found taking notes in longhand helped students withhold information better than using a laptop. Researchers also point out switching between short teaching pieces too quickly could take valuable comprehension from the students. Students need time to engage with a topic before moving on. Even many tech advocates find value in traditional methods and suggest an integrated learning. They agree teachers’ authority remains vital and the face-to-face interaction between students and teachers is still the primary component in the classroom. Technology will be favoured only when it improves a lesson in ways that are impossible offline. Success is no longer about knowing the most. Instead, it’s the ability to think critically and creatively, the very skills that digital media weakens by lowering attention spans. If you think of people who became successful in the tech world, it wasn’t because they could code; it was because they could think. Digital natives will continue to eagerly adopt new media. Teachers have no choice but to upgrade themselves, not only to ensure students can access and take advantage of new technologies, but to educate students to succeed in a world constantly trying to distract them. 27. What result has technology brought to students? A. It urges them to process information. B. It prevents them obtaining information. C. It ruins their possible classroom distraction. D. It damages their ability to digest information. 28. What does the underlined word “counteract” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Maintain. B. Motivate. C. Reduce. D. Replace. 29. What can we learn from the passage? A. Direct instruction takes priority in lessons. B. Digital resources will weaken offline learning. C. Small lessons can engage students in learning. D. Laptop noting helps students gain knowledge better. 30. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Students need to learn to get rid of social media. B. Teachers should progress to educate the young generation. C. The benefits of technology on education outweigh its harm. D. Traditional methods are favoured by both teachers and students. 【答案】27. D 28. C 29. A 30. B 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述现在电子科技已经融入到了年轻学生的生活中，研究表明互联网让他们能够快速找到信息，而代价是课堂上的注意力严重分散。教师别无选择，只能自我提升，这不仅是为了确保学生能够接触和利用新技术，也是为了教育学生在一个不断试图分散他们注意力的世界中取得成功。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句话“Without being attentive, students will be incapable of processing information, which means they’re not going to be able to understand, analyse, criticise and come to some decision about the information.”（如果注意力不集中，学生将无法处理信息，这意味着他们将无法理解、分析、批评并对信息做出决定。）可推知，互联网会让学生的注意力分散，注意力分散后就不能很好的去消化所获得的信息。故选D。 【28题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第二段第三句话“Some teachers begin classes with mindfulness exercises when students need to concentrate.”（当学生需要集中注意力时，一些老师开始上课时进行正念练习。）以及转折连词however可知前后为转折关系。根据划线所在句子的“ any sort of “tech breaks””（任何形式的“技术突破”）和后面的“the desires to come back to study”（重返学习的欲望）可知，老师在上课是会想一些办法让学生集中注意力，但是，只要碰上和互联网有关的东西，就会降低孩子们学习的欲望，所以counteract的意思为“减少，降低”。故选C。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段第一、二句话“Even many tech advocates find value in traditional methods and suggest an integrated learning. They agree teachers’ authority remains vital and the face-to-face interaction between students and teachers is still the primary component in the classroom. ”（甚至许多技术倡导者也发现传统方法的价值，并建议进行综合学习。他们同意教师的权威仍然至关重要，师生面对面的互动仍然是课堂的主要组成部分。）可知，在教学当中，我们应该遵循传统的方法，老师和学生面对面教学，老师对学生做出直接的指导应该在教学中占优先地位。故选A。 【30题详解】 文章大意题。通读全文，并结合最后一段最后一句话“Teachers have no choice but to upgrade themselves, not only to ensure students can access and take advantage of new technologies, but to educate students to succeed in a world constantly trying to distract them.”（教师别无选择，只能自我提升，这不仅是为了确保学生能够接触和利用新技术，也是为了教育学生在一个不断试图分散他们注意力的世界中取得成功。）可知，这篇文章想要表达我们不可能避免网络或科技给学生们带来的害处，只有老师不断提升自己来教育年轻的一代，让他们在一个不断试图分散他们注意力的世界中取得成功。故选B。 D The Price of a Piece of History A fresh lemon can be bought for less than $1. But in 2008, Cowan’s Auctions (拍卖) in Cincinnati sold a lemon blackened with age for $2,350. What was so special about this lemon? It was said to be from a tree planted by George Washington. According to a handwritten note attached to the bottle containing the lemon, the fruit was picked by Washington’s “old gardener” some 43 years after the first president’s death. Collecting a piece of history, or an object associated with a famous person, is not fresh. Yet determining potential values of such objects isn’t easy. For one thing, their origin, or history of ownership, is both important and sometimes difficult to prove. Photographs of the famous person with the object, as well as letters, diaries referring to the object can help. The uniqueness of many of historic objects makes it more difficult to put a value on them. To assess the value of a Picasso painting, one can look at recent prices paid for other Picasso paintings of the same period, similar size or style. Finding another recent sale of a lemon planted by George Washington is a different matter. Katie Horstman, head of Cowan, says she could find no comparables for the lemon as she prepared the auction. However, she finally arrived at an estimated (估计的) value by researching auction records for objects somehow associated with Washington that had appeared on the market. Often the final selling price of objects touched by history has to do with the moods and passions of the collectors and other potential buyers expected to be present on auction day. But even the experts can make a mistake sometimes. For instance, a 2016 Christie’s sale in London included a 1935 jacket worn by Albert Einstein, and a pocket watch the physicist had owned in 1900 when he was 21 and still largely unknown. The jacket sold for ₤110,500, well above its estimated value of ₤40,000 to ₤60,000. The watch, meanwhile, which had an estimated value of ₤15,000 to ₤20,000, sold for ₤266,500. Thomas Venning, director of Christie, has his explanation for why the watch sold for so much more than the jacket, and likely for more than the experts would have guessed. There are photographs of Einstein, the father of relativity, wearing the jacket, Mr. Venning says. “But Einstein’s jacket didn’t change the world. The watch, and the sense of time, is what we know him for, which made it more valuable to collectors.” 31. What do we know about the lemon sold for $2,350? A. It has been kept well by Washington’s gardener. B. It was associated with Washington due to a note. C. It was collected 43 years before Washington’s death. D. It was put in the bottle by Washington a century ago. 32. The author mentions the Picasso painting to ________. A. highlight the difficulty of valuing the lemon B. compare its value with Washington’s lemon C. illustrate the way to assess a piece of history D. analyse the value of objects related to Picasso 33. What can we learn from the passage? A. No comparables led to the high value of the lemon. B. The estimated value is expected to dominate the final price. C. Passions of the collectors are the decisive factor of the value. D. Documents referring to the object can help determine the value. 34. What can we infer from the passage? A. Historic objects are like a mirror reflecting reality. B. It is reasonable to value historic objects at a high price. C. Historic objects offer people a sense of changing the world. D. Collectors are responsive to estimated value of historic objects. 【答案】31. B 32. A 33. D 34. B 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了几个名人物品的拍卖案例以及评估名人物品的拍卖价值的难度。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“According to a handwritten note attached to the bottle containing the lemon, the fruit was picked by Washington’s “old gardener” some 43 years after the first president’s death.（据装柠檬的瓶子上的一张手写纸条显示，这颗柠檬是在美国第一位总统去世43年后，由华盛顿的“老园丁”采摘的。）”可知，这个卖了2350美元的柠檬与华盛顿的联系是由于一张便条。故选B。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The uniqueness of many of historic objects makes it more difficult to put a value on them. To assess the value of a Picasso painting, one can look at recent prices paid for other Picasso paintings of the same period, similar size or style.（许多历史文物的独特性使得给它们估价变得更加困难。要想了解毕加索一幅画的价值，可以看看同时期、类似大小或风格的其他毕加索画作的近期价格。）”可推断，作者提到毕加索的画是为了强调给柠檬估价的困难。故选A。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Photographs of the famous person with the object, as well as letters, diaries referring to the object can help.（名人拿着该物品的照片，以及与该物品相关的信件和日记都能有所帮助。）”可知，与该物品有关的文档可以帮助确定该价值。故选D。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““But Einstein’s jacket didn’t change the world. The watch, and the sense of time, is what we know him for, which made it more valuable to collectors.”（但爱因斯坦的夹克并没有改变世界。手表和时间感是我们认识他的原因，这让他对收藏者来说更有价值。）”可推断，历史文物价值高是合理的。故选B。 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分，共10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The Art of Slow Reading If you are reading this article in print, chances are that you will only get through half of what I have written. And if you are reading this online, you may not even finish a fifth. ____35____ They suggest that many of us no longer have the concentration to read articles through to their conclusion. So are we getting stupider? Actually, our online habits are damaging the mental power we need to process and understand textual information. Round-the-clock news makes us read from one article to the next without necessarily engaging fully with any of the content. Our reading is frequently interrupted by the noise of the latest email and we are now absorbing short bursts of words on Twitter and Facebook more regularly than longer texts. ____36____ But we are gradually forgetting how to sit back, think carefully, and relate all the facts to each other. ____37____ A desperate bunch of academics want us to take our time while reading, and re-reading. They ask us to switch off our computers every so often and rediscover both the joy of personal engagement with printed texts, and the ability to process them fully. What's to be done then? Most slow readers realize that total rejection of the web is extremely unrealistic. They feel that getaway from technology for a while is the answer. ____38____ Personally, I'm not sure whether I could ever go offline for long. Even while writing this article, I am switching constantly between sites, skimming too often, absorbing too little. Internet reading has become too rooted in my daily life for me to change. I read essays and articles not in hard copy but as PDFs. I suspect that many readers are in a similar position. ____39____ You can download a computer application called Freedom, which allows you to read in peace by cutting off your Internet connection. Or if you want to avoid being disturbed by the Internet, you could always download offline reader Instapaper for your iPhone. If you're still reading my article, that is slow reading. A. The Internet is probably part of the problem. B. Now some campaigns are advocating slow reading. C. These are the two findings from the recent research projects. D. But if you just occasionally want to read more slowly help is at hand. E. Some of them have suggested turning their computers off for one day a week. F. Slow reading can help connect a reader to neighborhood and become popular. G. Because of the Internet, we have become very good at collecting information. 【答案】35. C 36. G 37. B 38. E 39. D 【解析】 【分析】本文讲述的是“慢读的艺术”。 研究表明我们中的许多人不再专注于阅读文章，实际上，我们的网络习惯正在破坏我们处理和理解文本信息所需要的精神力量。大多数慢读者意识到，完全拒绝网络是非常不现实的，他们觉得暂时摆脱科技是解决问题的办法。 【35题详解】 根据下文：他们认为，我们中的许多人不再专注于阅读文章。此处的they应该是指代前文出现的事物，也就是C项中的the two findings，“最近的研究项目有两个发现。”故选C。 【36题详解】 根据上句：我们的阅读经常被最新电子邮件的噪音所打断，我们现在在Twitter和Facebook上吸收简短的一连串的单词比长篇大论更有规律。故可知因为有了互联网，我们变得非常善于收集信息。故选G。 【37题详解】 根据下文：一群极度渴望的学者希望我们在阅读或重读的时候要放慢速度。故可知现在一些活动提倡缓慢阅读。故选B。 【38题详解】 根据上文：大多数慢读者意识到，完全拒绝网络是非常不现实的。他们觉得暂时摆脱科技是解决问题的办法。由此推知，E项Some of them have suggested turning their computers off for one day a week.（他们中的一些人建议每周把电脑关掉一天。）与上文匹配。 【39题详解】 根据空格下句：你可以下载一个叫做Freedom的电脑程序，这样你就可以通过切断你的网络连接来阅读。由此可知此处的意思是：如果你只是偶尔想要读得慢一些，那么帮助就在手边。故选D。 【名师点睛】 做七选五时“尤其代词不可放”是说：在填空处的前后语境中出现的一些代词不可忽视。有这样一道题：”They can be rich resources to improve your knowledge.”，该选项中凭空多出一个代词they，这说明什么问题？代词是起替代作用的，一定是前文出现的事物被they替代了，找到被替代的名词就可以了。往文中一找，前面的语境是“Volunteering brings together all kinds of people.所以they替代的就是前文的all kinds of people短语。这样的现象在七选五中是很多见了，能帮助大家解决不少难题。本题第1小题，根据下文：他们认为，我们中的许多人不再专注于阅读文章。此处的they应该是指代前文出现的事物，也就是C项中的the two findings，“最近的研究项目有两个发现。”故选C。 第三部分：书面表达(共两节，32分) 第一节：阅读下面短文，根据短文内容在答题卡相应题号后的横线上写下相关信息，完成对该问题的回答。 (共4小题;第40至41题每小题2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分) 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求回答问题。 Doctors in Bristol can send patients on a free course from this month, which uses stand-up comedy to help patients overcome their trauma (创伤). The course was pioneered by Angie Belcher, a comedian at the University of Bristol. Comedy is a natural human trait (特质). Every night we come back home from work and tell our family what our day was like, but on the way home we’ll make up details, and try to make our stories funnier to entertain family members. Professional comedy education is to give a tool to take this to a more polished and informed level. The content of the six-week course is described as a “combination of psychology, comedy and storytelling.” Actually, past traumas are perfect for comedy. Comedy doesn’t come from the happy moments of our life, but from our everyday struggles. People, who’ve been through big life experiences, such as the loss of a close friend or ill health, often can’t wait to share their stories, mostly because there’s always something funny about the situation. We can accept and honor the comedy of a situation, as much as the sadness of it. While the comedy course can’t take the place of traditional clinical approaches, talking about our trauma in a funny way is quite lovely, and more importantly, it has a chain reaction on our audience, and we help other people to deal with their sadness. When we bring our stories alive for others, it makes other people feel less alone. Having our experiences mirrored back to us is hugely comforting. Comedy builds community. 40. Who was the course pioneered by? _______________________________________________________________________________________________ 41. What is the content of the course? _______________________________________________________________________________________________ 42. Please underline the false part in the following statement and explain why. Comedy comes from our everyday struggles, and from the happy moments of our life as well. _______________________________________________________________________________________________ 43. If you meet a trauma, would you like to take the comedy course? Why? (In about 40 words) _______________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】40. The course was pioneered by Angie Belcher, a comedian at the University of Bristol. 41. A combination of psychology, comedy and storytelling. 42. Comedy comes from our everyday struggles, and from the happy moments of our life as well. Because comedy doesn’t come from the happy moments of our life. 43. If I encounter trauma, I am willing to take comedy classes. Because when we vividly present our own story to others, they will feel less lonely. It is very gratifying to reflect our experiences onto us. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了病人参加一个免费课程，该课程使用单口喜剧来帮助病人克服创伤。文章详述了这样做的原因。 【40题详解】 考查细节理解。由文章第一段中“The course was pioneered by Angie Belcher, a comedian at the University of Bristol. (这门课程是由布里斯托尔大学的喜剧演员安吉·贝尔彻开创的。)”可知，这门课程是由安吉·贝尔彻开创的，他是布里斯托尔大学的喜剧演员。故答案为：The course was pioneered by Angie Belcher, a comedian at the University of Bristol. 【41题详解】 考查细节理解。由文章第二段中“The content of the six-week course is described as a “combination of psychology, comedy and storytelling.” (六周的课程内容被描述为“心理学、喜剧和讲故事的结合”。)”可知，这门课程是内容“心理学、喜剧和讲故事的结合”。故答案为：A combination of psychology, comedy and storytelling. 【42题详解】 考查细节理解。由文章第三段中“Comedy doesn’t come from the happy moments of our life, but from our everyday struggles. (喜剧不是来自我们生活中的快乐时刻，而是来自我们每天的挣扎。)”可知，喜剧不是来自我们生活中的快乐时刻。故答案为：Comedy comes from our everyday struggles, and from the happy moments of our life as well. Because comedy doesn’t come from the happy moments of our life. 【43题详解】 考查语言表达。如果我遇到创伤，我愿意参加喜剧课程。因为当我们把自己故事生动地呈现给别人时，别人会觉得不那么孤单。把我们的经历反射到我们身上是非常令人欣慰的。故答案为：If I encounter trauma, I am willing to take comedy classes. Because when we vividly present our own story to others, they will feel less lonely. It is very gratifying to reflect our experiences onto us.
