B Sophie became friends with the gray squirrels during her first week at Penn State, after spotting them running around and wondering what they would look like with tiny hats on their heads. Today, everyone at the university knows her as the “Squirrel Girl”. Sophie tried bringing them food, and gradually they began to trust her. She managed to put a hat on a squirrel and take a picture. Thinking that her colleagues could do something to lift their spirits, she started posting similar photos on Facebook. The response was greatly positive, and before long Sophie and her squirrels became an Internet sensation (轰动). Growing up in a neighborhood outside of State College, Sophie was always fond of birds and animals around her home, but she didn’t interact with people very much. She was later diagnosed (诊断) with Asperger's syndrome, but the squirrels changed that. “The squirrels help me break the ice, because I’ll be sitting here patting a squirrel and other people will come over and well just start like feeding the squirrels together and chatting about them,” she said, “I am a lot more outgoing.” And in case you’re wondering how Sophie is able to get the squirrels to do what she wants for her photos, it has a lot to do with food. For example, whenever she wants them to hold or play with something, she puts peanut butter on the prop (道具), and they’ll grab it. In the beginning, she would throw peanuts up the trees on campus and invite the squirrels to come down and get them, but they hesitated to approach her. She had the patience to earn their trust, though. This year, Sophie is graduating with a degree in English and wildlife sciences. She wants to be a science writer and educate people on how to preserve the environment. As for her furry friends, Sophie plans to stay in the area and visit them as often as she can. 24. What can we infer from the passage? A. Sophie was fonder of squirrels than any other animals. B. Sophie is known as the “Squirrel Girl” in the community. C. Sophie and squirrels received great attention on the Internet. D. Sophie wishes to educate people on how to protect the animals. 25. What can we learn about Sophie according to paragraph 3? A. She was more outgoing than before. B. She got lots of friends due to squirrels. C She lived in the far countryside when young. D She used to be a popular girl in her childhood. 26. How did Sophie manage to take photos of squirrels wearing hats? A. By dressing like squirrels. B. By putting them in cages. C. By playing music to them. D. By attracting them with food. 27. What do you think of Sophie? A. Patient and caring. B. Tolerant and strong. C. Sociable and healthy. D. Traditional and hard-working. C Deep Sea: To Mine Or Not To Mine A robot as large as a truck moves along the bottom of the deep sea. It eats metallic (含金属的) rock and soft mud. They travel up a long pipe to a ship, where workers and machinery separate out the rock and throw the mud back into the ocean. This is a mining operation. The rock contains a mixture of metals, including ones called rare earth metals. People use these materials to make batteries and electronics like computers and phones. Deep-sea mining hasn’t happened yet. But it probably will occur within the next decade. No country owns any part of the deep sea, so a UN organization called the International Seabed Authority (ISA) decides who is allowed to mine there. It has allowed 29 organizations to explore the deep sea and make plans for mining, one of which plans to begin mining in the year 2027. Scientists and environmentalists, though, warn that mining could destroy deep-sea ecosystem. In 1989, ecologist Hjalmar Thiel carried out a test. His team searched the seafloor of the Pacific Ocean, in a spot with lots of the metallic rocks that miners wanted. They didn’t actually collect any of the rocks. But they disturbed the mud, just as a mining operation would. The cloud of mud fell back down over the ocean floor burying creatures living there. Up to now, the area they disturbed has not recovered. Signs of the search are still there. Deep sea creatures like sponges and corals have not moved back in. That means mining could have harmful, long-lasting consequences for deep ocean life. Scientists want to understand the deep sea better before disturbing it. Leaving the deep sea alone sounds great, but people need those metals. “Mines on land are soon going to run out,” geologist Steven Scolt of the University of Toronto told Smithsonian Magazine. “Every electronic device in the world has rare earth metals in it... we need raw resources.” New energy technologies including solar and wind power and electric cars rely on these metals as well. We may need to mine them from the sea in order to switch to greener energy sources. 28. According to the passage, why do people want to carry out deep sea mining? A. To test the mining robot. B. To collect rare earth metals. C. To separate the rock from mud. D. To understand the deep sea better. 29. What can we infer from the test of Hjalmar Thiel in 1989? A. They gathered some metallic rocks the miners wanted. B. They helped the recovery of the disturbed mining areas. C. They discovered the deep-sea mining affected the ocean ecology. D. They found the rare metallic rocks were harmful to sea creatures. 30. What is Steven Scolt’s attitude towards deep-sea mining? A. Doubtful. B. Neutral. C. Supportive. D. Disapproving. D Few would question that arts, in its massive forms and media, are like a mirror that reflects the social, cultural, economic or even political situation of a society of a particular era. However, beyond being simply an illustration of the human condition, arts can be vital in pushing the country forward culturally and economically. Without doubt, arts are important for the progress of society. They enable individuals to develop on the whole and deepen the social ties in communities by gathering people to create, experience and enjoy art together, which can be seen from traditional ethnic dances to interactive theatre performanccs. Beyond material wants and needs, human beings find fulfilment in experiencing and expressing things of remarkable value through arts. Meanwhile, strong citizens’ participation in arts also strengthens the social fabric of a nation. Moreover, arts enable a nation to progress in human rights and values. As powerful media that are able to stir hearts and cause reflection, arts can speak up the human voice of criticism sharply and clearly in times of crisis, and call upon society to seek the common good. It is evident that arts, which express human values and emotions, can constitute a profound way of promoting human dignity and additionally, form the barrier of the ethical and moral life of society. More often than not, a booming arts scene may not narrow the rich-poor divide. It’s not hard to see that in a highly competitive world, it is essential for governments to prioritize the development of a strong workforce and the building of sustainable industries. However, arts may well complement (补充) economic policies as arts encourage individuals to exercise creativity. As Albert Einstein stated, imagination is more important than knowledge. While knowledge and professional skills may stimulate a country’s development, the ability to innovate and think out of the box may be valuable to a society facing ever new and unpredictable challenges. While the importance of arts may differ from country to country, depending on its economic circumstances and the socio-political issues, the importance of arts to the progress of a nation should not be overlooked. 31. What’s the first paragraph mainly about? A. The forms of arts. B. The functions of arts. C. The definition of arts. D. The development of arts. 32. How do arts influence human rights and values? A. By reflecting humans’ views. B. By pointing out the common good. C. By giving people a sense of fulfilment. D. By forming the moral standard of society. 33. Why is Albert Einstein mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To praise Albert Einstein’s achievements. B. To call on humans to remember our history. C. To stress the importance of arts in creativity. D. To show the necessity of knowledge and skills. 34. What will the author probably agree with? A. Arts serve as the major influence in values. B. Arts play a part in the progress of a country. C. Arts should aim at strengthening social bonds. D. Arts can bridge the gap between rich and poor. 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。 When you go to concerts, you expect your favorite musician to perform amazingly on stage. But you may have noticed something curious that most musicians don’t just play with their fingers. They also involve body movements that fit the song’s beat or dance following the music. ____35____ The facial expressions musicians show when playing may seem strange or crazy to an outsider, but all that pulling faces might actually serve a purpose. Firstly, playing a musical instrument usually requires intense focus and concentration. ____36____ Their facial expressions can be a demonstration of the intense emotions and physical effort that go hand-in-hand with musical performance. They’re often subconscious-in fact, many of us will pull strange faces when we’re deeply involved in an activity we care about. ____37____Musicians have a strong emotional connection with the music they perform. They often use their facial expressions to express the mood and interpretation of the music, which creates a more engaging musical experience. While facial expressions may not directly make someone a better musician, they might contribute to the overall artistry of the music. Performing live music is a rather stressful experience, so it could be that the performer is expressing those nerves through their face-biting the bottom lip, for example. Luckily, nerves will often go away soon after a musician starts performing. ____38____ The facial expressions obviously to some extent express the performer’s inner world. Another interesting thing is that making facial expressions can have a physiological impact on the musician’s performance. Some research suggests that certain facial movements can activate specific muscles and improve muscle harmonization. ____39____However, it’s important to note that this relationship is still not well understood, and the extent to which facial expressions directly impact musical competence is a subject of ongoing investigation. A. When you’re really focused, you don’t care about the outside world. B. Among them the part of the body that best exhibits this is obviously the face. C. They likely won’t be the main cause for those strange faces throughout a performance. D. Such effects are particularly helpful in controlling muscles when playing an instrument. E. Facial expressions can also help musicians communicate emotions and artistic expression. F. Musicians are often overcome with emotion from the music itself or the reaction of the crowd. G. Musicians often enter a state of “flow”, where they become completely absorbed in the music they’re creating. 第三部分 书面表达（共两节，32分） 第一节（共4小题；第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分） 阅读下面的短文和问题，根据短文内容，在相应题号后的横线上写下相关信息，完成对该问题的回答。答语要结构正确，书写工整，字迹清楚。 Liberal Arts’ Hidden Value If you have to pick one, who do you think made greater contributions to the world: physicist Isaac Newton or philosopher Aristotle? Chances are that you’d find it hard to make a decision. But when choosing a major in college, the line between the two areas couldn’t be clearer. Science majors, such as technology, engineering, math, are considered to be more practical choices because of the wealth of opportunities, while those who choose a liberal arts (文科) major—language, music, philosophy—may have more difficulty finding a job. But perhaps we should look at liberal arts studies in another way to understand its value. In the documentary Civilizations, for example, presenters (主持人) take us to 31 countries to appreciate human creativity, such as the Great Wall and the Pyramids. To Simon Schama, one of the presenters, human civilization isn’t just about technology, but about liberal arts or creating things to leave a person’s mark of their existence for future humans to witness and admire. By comparing science and liberal arts, we’re drawing “an artificial line” between the two, said Loretta Jackson, an associate professor at Rhodes College in Memphis, US. And to some of the greatest innovators (革新者) in history, this line never existed. Leonardo da Vinci, for example, was an outstanding scientist and painter. He was so interested in biology and anatomy (解剖学) that he drew the famous Vitruvian Man, which perfectly shows proportions (比例) of the human body. Then there’s Steve Jobs, who is an engineer and also an artist. He summarized the relationship between science and arts: “It’s in Apple’s DNA that technology alone is not enough—it’s technology married with liberal arts that brings us what makes our heart sing.” 40. Why is science more attractive when students choose a major in college? 41. According to Simon Schama, what is the value of liberal arts in human civilization? 42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. ►Steve Jobs concluded that technology contributed to Apple’s success, but liberal arts played a more important role. 43. What major will you choose in college? Explain your reasons.

As a gifted child, Beethoven was pushed by his father to study music day and night. Not long after, he began to be appreciated for his piano ___12___ (performance).

Although I ___20___ (spend) a lot of time outside, I had never camped or experienced all of what nature offers. 【答案】18. presents 19. to explore 20. had spent 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者原本对大自然并不着迷，但是在密歇根州的一些经历让作者开始对大自然有了新的认识，并鼓励作者去探索与大自然接触的一种原始形式 —— 露营。 【18题详解】 考查一般现在时。句意：但在密歇根州，大自然以多种形式呈现，比如从山上以最快的速度滑雪橇，或者在五大湖中的一个湖里游泳。此句描述的是客观事实，应用一般现在时。主语 “nature” 是第三人称单数，谓语动词需用第三人称单数形式，故填 presents。 【19题详解】 考查动词不定式。句意：这些经历鼓励我去探索与大自然接触的一种原始形式：露营。encourage sb. to do sth.”为固定搭配，意为 “鼓励某人做某事”，故填 to explore。 【20题详解】 考查过去完成时。意：虽然我在户外度过了很多时间，但我从未露营过，也从未体验过大自然的一切。结合句意及主句时态可知，“spend”这一动作发生在 “过去的过去”，所以要用过去完成时“had spent”，故填 had spent。 第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，38分） 第一节（共14小题；每小题2分，共28分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A COMPETITION Draw a sea creature for our ocean poster Are you a gifted artist?

Today, everyone at the university knows her as the “Squirrel Girl”. Sophie tried bringing them food, and gradually they began to trust her. She managed to put a hat on a squirrel and take a picture. Thinking that her colleagues could do something to lift their spirits, she started posting similar photos on Facebook. The response was greatly positive, and before long Sophie and her squirrels became an Internet sensation (轰动). Growing up in a neighborhood outside of State College, Sophie was always fond of birds and animals around her home, but she didn’t interact with people very much. She was later diagnosed (诊断) with Asperger's syndrome, but the squirrels changed that. “The squirrels help me break the ice, because I’ll be sitting here patting a squirrel and other people will come over and well just start like feeding the squirrels together and chatting about them,” she said, “I am a lot more outgoing.” And in case you’re wondering how Sophie is able to get the squirrels to do what she wants for her photos, it has a lot to do with food. For example, whenever she wants them to hold or play with something, she puts peanut butter on the prop (道具), and they’ll grab it. In the beginning, she would throw peanuts up the trees on campus and invite the squirrels to come down and get them, but they hesitated to approach her. She had the patience to earn their trust, though. This year, Sophie is graduating with a degree in English and wildlife sciences. She wants to be a science writer and educate people on how to preserve the environment. As for her furry friends, Sophie plans to stay in the area and visit them as often as she can. 24. What can we infer from the passage? A. Sophie was fonder of squirrels than any other animals. B. Sophie is known as the “Squirrel Girl” in the community. C.

She was more outgoing than before. B. She got lots of friends due to squirrels. C. She lived in the far countryside when young. D. She used to be a popular girl in her childhood. 26. How did Sophie manage to take photos of squirrels wearing hats? A. By dressing like squirrels. B. By putting them in cages. C. By playing music to them. D. By attracting them with food. 27. What do you think of Sophie? A. Patient and caring. B. Tolerant and strong. C. Sociable and healthy. D. Traditional and hard-working. 【答案】24. C 25. A 26. D 27. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了苏菲和灰松鼠成了朋友，通过和松鼠的交流改变了自己的性格完成了学业的故事。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The response was greatly positive, and before long Sophie and her squirrels became an Internet sensation (轰动).”（反应非常积极，不久苏菲和她的松鼠就在网上引起了轰动。）可知，苏菲和松鼠在网上受到了极大的关注。故选C项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段““The squirrels help me break the ice, because I’ll be sitting here patting a squirrel and other people will come over and well just start like feeding the squirrels together and chatting about them,” she said, “I am a lot more outgoing.””（“松鼠帮我打破僵局，因为我会坐在这里拍松鼠，其他人会过来，我们就开始一起喂松鼠，聊它们，”她说，“我更外向了。”）可知，苏菲比以前更外向了。故选A项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“And in case you’re wondering how Sophie is able to get the squirrels to do what she wants for her photos, it has a lot to do with food. For example, whenever she wants them to hold or play with something, she puts peanut butter on the prop (道具), and they’ll grab it.”（如果你想知道苏菲是如何让松鼠为她的照片做她想做的事情的，这与食物有很大关系。例如，每当她想让它们拿东西或玩东西时，她会把花生酱放在道具上，它们会抓住它。）可知，苏菲是通过食物吸引松鼠，给松鼠戴上帽子拍照的。故选D项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“In the beginning, she would throw peanuts up the trees on campus and invite the squirrels to come down and get them, but they hesitated to approach her. She had the patience to earn their trust, though.”（一开始，她会把花生扔到校园的树上，并邀请松鼠下来拿，但松鼠不愿接近她。不过，她有耐心赢得它们的信任。）以及最后一段“As for her furry friends, Sophie plans to stay in the area and visit them as often as she can.”（至于她的毛茸茸的朋友们，苏菲计划留在这个地区，尽可能多地拜访它们。）可知，苏菲有耐心赢得松鼠的信任，并且会尽可能关心动物们，所以苏菲是有耐心的和爱心的。故选A项。 C Deep Sea: To Mine Or Not To Mine A robot as large as a truck moves along the bottom of the deep sea. It eats metallic (含金属的) rock and soft mud. They travel up a long pipe to a ship, where workers and machinery separate out the rock and throw the mud back into the ocean. This is a mining operation. The rock contains a mixture of metals, including ones called rare earth metals. People use these materials to make batteries and electronics like computers and phones. Deep-sea mining hasn’t happened yet. But it probably will occur within the next decade. No country owns any part of the deep sea, so a UN organization called the International Seabed Authority (ISA) decides who is allowed to mine there. It has allowed 29 organizations to explore the deep sea and make plans for mining, one of which plans to begin mining in the year 2027. Scientists and environmentalists, though, warn that mining could destroy deep-sea ecosystem. In 1989, ecologist Hjalmar Thiel carried out a test. His team searched the seafloor of the Pacific Ocean, in a spot with lots of the metallic rocks that miners wanted. They didn’t actually collect any of the rocks. But they disturbed the mud, just as a mining operation would. The cloud of mud fell back down over the ocean floor burying creatures living there. Up to now, the area they disturbed has not recovered. Signs of the search are still there. Deep sea creatures like sponges and corals have not moved back in. That means mining could have harmful, long-lasting consequences for deep ocean life. Scientists want to understand the deep sea better before disturbing it. Leaving the deep sea alone sounds great, but people need those metals. “Mines on land are soon going to run out,” geologist Steven Scolt of the University of Toronto told Smithsonian Magazine. “Every electronic device in the world has rare earth metals in it... we need raw resources.” New energy technologies including solar and wind power and electric cars rely on these metals as well. We may need to mine them from the sea in order to switch to greener energy sources. 28. According to the passage, why do people want to carry out deep sea mining? A. To test the mining robot. B. To collect rare earth metals. C. To separate the rock from mud. D. To understand the deep sea better. 29. What can we infer from the test of Hjalmar Thiel in 1989? A. They gathered some metallic rocks the miners wanted. B. They helped the recovery of the disturbed mining areas. C. They discovered the deep-sea mining affected the ocean ecology. D. They found the rare metallic rocks were harmful to sea creatures. 30. What is Steven Scolt’s attitude towards deep-sea mining? A. Doubtful. B. Neutral. C. Supportive. D. Disapproving. 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了深海采矿作业给海洋环境带来的危害和必要性。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“A robot the size of a large bulldozer moves along the bottom of the deep sea.(一个大型推土机大小的机器人沿着深海底部移动)”和“This is a mining operation. The rock contains a mixture of metals, including ones called rare earth metals.(这是一个采矿作业。这种岩石含有多种金属，其中包括一种叫做稀土金属的金属)”可知，深海采矿作业是为了获得稀土金属。故选B项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段“But they disturbed the mud, just as a mining operation would. The cloud of mud fell back down over the ocean floor burying creatures living there. Up to now, the area they disturbed has not recovered. Signs of the search are still there. Deep sea creatures like sponges and corals have not moved back in. That means mining could have harmful, long-lasting consequences for deep ocean life. Scientists want to understand the deep sea better before disturbing it.(但他们扰乱了泥浆，就像采矿作业一样。泥云落在海底，埋葬了生活在那里的生物。到目前为止，他们扰乱的地区还没有恢复。搜寻的迹象仍然存在。海绵和珊瑚等深海生物还没有搬回来。这意味着采矿可能对深海生物产生有害的、长期的后果。科学家希望在干扰深海之前更好地了解它。)”可知，海底采矿会影响海洋生态系统。故选C项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段“Leaving the deep sea alone sounds great, but people need those metals. “Mines on land are soon going to run out,” geologist Steven Scolt of the University of Toronto told Smithsonian Magazine. “Every electronic device in the world has rare earth metals in it... we need raw resources.”(离开深海听起来很棒，但人们需要这些金属。多伦多大学的地质学家史蒂文·斯考特告诉史密森尼杂志：“陆地上的矿很快就会耗尽。世界上每一个电子设备都含有稀土金属……我们需要原材料。”)”可知，他对海底采矿是支持的。故选C项。 D Few would question that arts in its massive forms and media, are like a mirror that reflects the social, cultural, economic or even political situation of a society of a particular era. However, beyond being simply an illustration of the human condition, arts can be vital in pushing the country forward culturally and economically. Without doubt, arts are important for the progress of society. They enable individuals to develop on the whole and deepen the social ties in communities by gathering people to create, experience and enjoy art together, which can be seen from traditional ethnic dances to interactive theatre performanccs. Beyond material wants and needs, human beings find fulfilment in experiencing and expressing things of remarkable value through arts. Meanwhile, strong citizens’ participation in arts also strengthens the social fabric of a nation. Moreover, arts enable a nation to progress in human rights and values. As powerful media that are able to stir hearts and cause reflection, arts can speak up the human voice of criticism sharply and clearly in times of crisis, and call upon society to seek the common good. It is evident that arts, which express human values and emotions, can constitute a profound way of promoting human dignity and additionally, form the barrier of the ethical and moral life of society. More often than not, a booming arts scene may not narrow the rich-poor divide. It’s not hard to see that in a highly competitive world, it is essential for governments to prioritize the development of a strong workforce and the building of sustainable industries. However, arts may well complement (补充) economic policies as arts encourage individuals to exercise creativity. As Albert Einstein stated, imagination is more important than knowledge. While knowledge and professional skills may stimulate a country’s development, the ability to innovate and think out of the box may be valuable to a society facing ever new and unpredictable challenges. While the importance of arts may differ from country to country, depending on its economic circumstances and the socio-political issues, the importance of arts to the progress of a nation should not be overlooked. 31. What’s the first paragraph mainly about? A. The forms of arts. B. The functions of arts. C. The definition of arts. D. The development of arts. 32. How do arts influence human rights and values? A. By reflecting humans’ views. B. By pointing out the common good. C. By giving people a sense of fulfilment. D. By forming the moral standard of society. 33. Why is Albert Einstein mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To praise Albert Einstein’s achievements. B. To call on humans to remember our history. C. To stress the importance of arts in creativity. D. To show the necessity of knowledge and skills. 34. What will the author probably agree with? A. Arts serve as the major influence in values. B. Arts play a part in the progress of a country. C. Arts should aim at strengthening social bonds. D. Arts can bridge the gap between rich and poor. 【答案】31. B 32. D 33. C 34. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了艺术在国家经济社会发展中的重要作用。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段最后一句“However, beyond being simply an illustration of the human condition, arts can be vital in pushing the country forward culturally and economically. (然而，艺术不仅仅阐释了人类的境况，它在促进国家文化和经济发展方面也是非常重要的)”可知，此处总结上句说明了艺术能够阐释人类的境况，还引出艺术另一个重要的作用，就是促进经济文化发展。由此可知，第一段主要谈论了艺术的功能和作用。故选B项。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“It is evident that arts, which express human values and emotions, can constitute a profound way of promoting human dignity and additionally, form the barrier of the ethical and moral life of society. (很明显，表达了人类价值观和情感的艺术，构成了提升人类尊严的深刻途径，形成了社会伦理和道德生活的屏障)”可知，艺术形成了社会道德生活的准则，以此来影响人权和价值观。故选D项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段第三四句“However, arts may well complement (补充) economic policies as arts encourage individuals to exercise creativity. As Albert Einstein stated, imagination is more important than knowledge. (然而，艺术可以很好地补充经济政策，因为艺术鼓励个人去发挥自己的创造力。正如爱因斯坦所说，想象力比知识更重要) ”可推知，引用爱因斯坦的话是为了说明艺术的重要性，因为它可以激发创造力。故选C项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“While the importance of arts may differ from country to country, depending on its economic circumstances and the socio-political issues, the importance of arts to the progress of a nation should not be overlooked. (尽管艺术重要性因为不同国家的经济，社会政治问题而有所不同，但是艺术对一个国家发展进步的重要性不应该被忽视)”可推知，作者认为艺术在国家发展中有重要作用。故选B项。 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。 When you go to concerts, you expect your favorite musician to perform amazingly on stage. But you may have noticed something curious that most musicians don’t just play with their fingers. They also involve body movements that fit the song’s beat or dance following the music. ____35____ The facial expressions musicians show when playing may seem strange or crazy to an outsider, but all that pulling faces might actually serve a purpose. Firstly, playing a musical instrument usually requires intense focus and concentration. ____36____ Their facial expressions can be a demonstration of the intense emotions and physical effort that go hand-in-hand with musical performance. They’re often subconscious-in fact, many of us will pull strange faces when we’re deeply involved in an activity we care about. ____37____Musicians have a strong emotional connection with the music they perform. They often use their facial expressions to express the mood and interpretation of the music, which creates a more engaging musical experience. While facial expressions may not directly make someone a better musician, they might contribute to the overall artistry of the music. Performing live music is a rather stressful experience, so it could be that the performer is expressing those nerves through their face-biting the bottom lip, for example. Luckily, nerves will often go away soon after a musician starts performing. ____38____ The facial expressions obviously to some extent express the performer’s inner world. Another interesting thing is that making facial expressions can have a physiological impact on the musician’s performance. Some research suggests that certain facial movements can activate specific muscles and improve muscle harmonization. ____39____However, it’s important to note that this relationship is still not well understood, and the extent to which facial expressions directly impact musical competence is a subject of ongoing investigation. A. When you’re really focused, you don’t care about the outside world. B. Among them the part of the body that best exhibits this is obviously the face. C. They likely won’t be the main cause for those strange faces throughout a performance. D. Such effects are particularly helpful in controlling muscles when playing an instrument. E. Facial expressions can also help musicians communicate emotions and artistic expression. F. Musicians are often overcome with emotion from the music itself or the reaction of the crowd. G. Musicians often enter a state of “flow”, where they become completely absorbed in the music they’re creating. 【答案】35. B 36. G 37. E 38. C 39. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。音乐家演奏时不只是用手指演奏还会有身体动作，其中一个身体动作就是面部表情。文章主要介绍了音乐家演奏时使用面部表情给他们带来的好处。 【35题详解】 上文“But you may have noticed something curious that most musicians don’t just play with their fingers. They also involve body movements that fit the song’s beat or dance following the music. (但您可能已经注意到一些奇怪的事情，大多数音乐家不只是用手指演奏。还包括适应歌曲节奏或舞蹈音乐的身体动作。)”可知，音乐家不仅用手指演奏，还会用身体动作，下文“The facial expressions musicians show when playing may seem strange or crazy to an outsider, but all that pulling faces might actually serve a purpose.(音乐家在演奏时表现出的面部表情对于局外人来说可能看起来很奇怪或疯狂，但所有这些表情实际上可能都是有目的的。)”指出了音乐家在演奏时的面部表情是什么样的，由此可知，空处应指出音乐家的身体动作之一就是面部表情，B项“其中最能体现这一点的身体部位显然就是脸部。”承上启下，them代指上文“body movements”，故选B。 【36题详解】 上文“Firstly, playing a musical instrument usually requires intense focus and concentration.(首先，演奏乐器通常需要高度集中注意力)”指出演奏乐器通常需要高度集中注意力，所以音乐家会在演奏时完全沉浸于表演中，G项“音乐家经常进入一种“心流”状态，他们完全沉浸在他们正在创作的音乐中。”承接上文，故选G。 【37题详解】 上文“Their facial expressions can be a demonstration of the intense emotions and physical effort that go hand-in-hand with musical performance.(他们的面部表情可以表现出与音乐表演密切相关的强烈情感和体力。)”指出面部表情的好处之一是可以表现出与音乐表演密切相关的强烈情感和体力，下文“Musicians have a strong emotional connection with the music they perform. They often use their facial expressions to express the mood and interpretation of the music, which creates a more engaging musical experience. (音乐家与他们演奏的音乐有着强烈的情感联系。他们经常用面部表情来表达音乐的情绪和诠释，从而创造出更具吸引力的音乐体验。)”指出音乐家用面部表情来表达音乐的情绪，E项“面部表情还可以帮助音乐家交流情感和艺术表达。”介绍了面部表情的其他好处，故选E。 【38题详解】 上文“Performing live music is a rather stressful experience, so it could be that the performer is expressing those nerves through their face-biting the bottom lip, for example. Luckily, nerves will often go away soon after a musician starts performing.(表演现场音乐是一种相当紧张的体验，因此表演者可能会通过咬下嘴唇等方式来表达这些紧张情绪。幸运的是，音乐家开始表演后，紧张往往很快就会消失)”指出表演者可能会通过咬下嘴唇等方式来表达紧张情绪，但是音乐家在表演的时候不会出现紧张情绪，所以紧张情绪不是音乐家出现这些奇怪面部表情的原因，C项“它们可能不会成为整个表演过程中出现这些奇怪面孔的主要原因。”承接上文，they代指上文的nerves，故选C。 【39题详解】 上文“Another interesting thing is that making facial expressions can have a physiological impact on the musician’s performance. Some research suggests that certain facial movements can activate specific muscles and improve muscle harmonization.(另一件有趣的事情是，面部表情会对音乐家的表演产生生理影响。一些研究表明，某些面部动作可以激活特定的肌肉并改善肌肉的协调性)”指出面部表情会对音乐家的表演产生生理影响——可以激活特定的肌肉并改善肌肉的协调性，空处承接上文，指出这种生理影响对音乐家表演时所带来的好处，D项“这种效果对于演奏乐器时控制肌肉特别有帮助。”符合语境，Such effects呼应上文的activate specific muscles and improve muscle harmonization，故选D。 第三部分 书面表达（共两节，32分） 第一节（共4小题；第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分） 阅读下面的短文和问题，根据短文内容，在相应题号后的横线上写下相关信息，完成对该问题的回答。答语要结构正确，书写工整，字迹清楚。 Liberal Arts’ Hidden Value If you have to pick one, who do you think made greater contributions to the world: physicist Isaac Newton or philosopher Aristotle? Chances are that you’d find it hard to make a decision. But when choosing a major in college, the line between the two areas couldn’t be clearer. Science majors, such as technology, engineering, math, are considered to be more practical choices because of the wealth of opportunities, while those who choose a liberal arts (文科) major—language, music, philosophy—may have more difficulty finding a job. But perhaps we should look at liberal arts studies in another way to understand its value. In the documentary Civilizations, for example, presenters (主持人) take us to 31 countries to appreciate human creativity, such as the Great Wall and the Pyramids. To Simon Schama, one of the presenters, human civilization isn’t just about technology, but about liberal arts or creating things to leave a person’s mark of their existence for future humans to witness and admire. By comparing science and liberal arts, we’re drawing “an artificial line” between the two, said Loretta Jackson, an associate professor at Rhodes College in Memphis, US. And to some of the greatest innovators (革新者) in history, this line never existed. Leonardo da Vinci, for example, was an outstanding scientist and painter. He was so interested in biology and anatomy (解剖学) that he drew the famous Vitruvian Man, which perfectly shows proportions (比例) of the human body. Then there’s Steve Jobs, who is an engineer and also an artist. He summarized the relationship between science and arts: “It’s in Apple’s DNA that technology alone is not enough—it’s technology married with liberal arts that brings us what makes our heart sing.” 40. Why is science more attractive when students choose a major in college? 41. According to Simon Schama, what is the value of liberal arts in human civilization? 42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. ►Steve Jobs concluded that technology contributed to Apple’s success, but liberal arts played a more important role. 43. What major will you choose in college? Explain your reasons. (In about 40 words) 【答案】40. Because it offers many opportunities. 41. The value of liberal arts in human civilization lies in the fact that it leaves a person’s mark of their existence for future humans to witness and admire. 42. Steve Jobs concluded that technology contributed to Apple’s success, but liberal arts played a more important role. 43. I will choose science majors in college, because it offers many opportunities and enables me to find a good job after graduation. If I choose liberal arts majors, it is possible that I won’t find jobs. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要论述的是人文学科的潜在价值。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“Science majors, such as technology, engineering, math, are considered to be more practical choices because of the wealth of opportunities(科学专业，如技术、工程、数学，被认为是更实际的选择，因为机会丰富)”可知，学生在大学选择专业时，科学更有吸引力是因为它提供了很多机会，即Because it offers many opportunities。故答案为Because it offers many opportunities。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“To Simon Schama, one of the presenters, human civilization isn’t just about technology, but about liberal arts or creating things to leave a person’s mark of their existence for future humans to witness and admire.(对主持人之一Simon Schama来说，人类文明不仅与技术有关，还与人文艺术或创造东西有关，这些东西能留下一个人的存在印记，供未来的人类见证和欣赏)”可知，西蒙·沙玛认为，人文学科在人类文明中的价值是这些东西能留下一个人的存在印记，供未来的人类见证和欣赏，答案为“The value of liberal arts in human civilization lies in the fact that it leaves a person’s mark of their existence for future humans to witness and admire”，故答案为The value of liberal arts in human civilization lies in the fact that it leaves a person’s mark of their existence for future humans to witness and admire。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段的“It’s in Apple’s DNA that technology alone is not enough—it’s technology married with liberal arts that brings us what makes our heart sing.(在苹果的DNA中，只有技术是不够的，只有技术与人文艺术结合，才能让我们的心歌唱)”可知，Steve Jobs的意思是技术和人文艺术要结合，而没有说谁比谁更重要，因此错误的部分是“played a more important role”。故答案为Steve Jobs concluded that technology contributed to Apple’s success, but liberal arts played a more important role。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第二段的“Science majors, such as technology, engineering, math, are considered to be more practical choices because of the wealth of opportunities, while those who choose a liberal arts (文科) major—language, music, philosophy—may have more difficulty finding a job.(科学专业，如技术、工程、数学，被认为是更实际的选择，因为机会丰富，而那些选择文科专业(语言、音乐、哲学)的人可能更难找到工作)”及个人想法可知，在大学我会选择科学专业，因为它提供了很多机会，能让我在毕业后找到一份好工作。如果我选择文科专业，有可能找不到工作，故答案为I will choose science majors in college, because it offers many opportunities and enables me to find a good job after graduation. If I choose liberal arts majors, it is possible that I won’t find jobs。 第二节（20分） 44. 你的英国笔友Jim得知你校各班级正在进行“脊梁人物”评选活动，对此非常感兴趣。想请你介绍一下你们班选出的“脊梁人物”的相关信息。请你写一封回复邮件，内容包括： 1. 选择该人物的理由； 2. 该人物对你的影响。 注意：1. 词数100词左右； 2. 邮件的开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 提示词：脊梁人物 Backbone Figure Dear Jim, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Jim Glad to hear that you’re interested in our “Backbone Figure” selection activity! In our class, we chose Zhang Lei as the Backbone Figure. There are several reasons. Firstly, he excels academically and always shares effective study methods with us, helping many classmates improve their grades. Besides, he shows great kindness and responsibility. When classmates face difficulties, he offers help without hesitation, like tutoring struggling students and organizing volunteer activities. Zhang Lei has influenced me deeply.
