Later that day, I thought that I would reach out to her just to let her know that I was there for her. I must admit all sorts of reasons why I shouldn’t reach out came to mind, but I allowed myself to get rid of my weakness and sent an email anyway. It was through one of those messaging type things that I could see the other person was reacting. I could see that quite soon after, the lady was writing a reply. However, she must have changed her mind and decided to give it up and not send it after all. Anyway, 2 days later, this morning, she sent me a nice message which opened up a short talk about our past and present experiences and we found a common connection. In the end, I invited her to an online group where we could meet every Sunday just to connect and chat. She promised to join us. I knew that she was glad that I had reached out. Afterwards, I realized that I did have a new friend. When I learned about her difficult life, I offered to help her get through difficulty. When I had problems, she was always there. What a real lucky thing is to step into someone’s life situation and come together with them on their journey. I always think it is the most pleasant thing in the world! I’m so thankful to have had a new friend today! 4. What can we learn about the lady on Monday morning? A. She felt anxious then. B. She was unfit for the group. C. She turned to the author for help. D. She was eager to have a new friend. 5. How did the lady deal with the author’s email? A. She ignored it completely. B. She quit answering it halfway. C. She took back the email she had sent. D.

A friend without faults will never be found. D. A friend to everybody is a friend to nobody. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在参加一项活动时，遇到一位需要帮助的女士，作者特意给她发邮件提供帮助，最终两人成了互相帮助的朋友。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“In our meditation (冥想) group on Monday morning, one of the ladies asked if the group leader could take us through meditation to ease worries. (在周一早上的冥想小组中，一位女士问组长是否可以带我们通过冥想来缓解忧虑。)”可知，周一早上那位女士感到焦虑。故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“I could see that quite soon after, the lady was writing a reply. However, she must have changed her mind and decided to give it up and not send it after all. (我看得出，不久之后，那位女士就在写回信了。然而，她一定是改变了主意，决定放弃，最终不送了。)”可知，这位女士中途放弃了回复作者的邮件。故选B项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“In the end, I invited her to an online group where we could meet every Sunday just to connect and chat. (最后，我邀请她加入了一个在线小组，我们每个星期天都可以在那里见面，聊聊天。)”可知，作者邀请这位女士参加一个网络小组是为了定期沟通。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“When I learned about her difficult life, I offered to help her get through difficulty.

Imagine a school where students could go on safe field trips to the Amazon rainforest or Everest base camp. Well, such schools are already being built: in virtual(虚拟的)reality. Last year, Optima Academy Online, an all-virtual school, delivered courses that aim to improve the hearts and train the minds of young people. These courses are of different levels, attracting 170 full-time students from all over Florida. In the progress of home-schooling, students use headsets for about three hours a day for formal lessons and then do course work independently with digital check-ins. Future versions(版本)of VR will doubtless be widely used in education, but the only questions are: for what purpose and at what speed? There are enough reasons to doubt whether VR schools represent the future of education. Sticking a child in their bedroom with a heavy VR headset fastened to their face and no physical social interaction with other kids will fill many of them and their parents with horror. A recent report concluded that digital education could significantly improve the quality and equality of schooling systems. But if managed poorly, it could have the opposite effect, turning a digital divide into an educational one. There is growing evidence to suggest that is happening. In Mexico, only 24 percent of 15-year-old students in poor schools have access(使用)to a home computer for schoolwork compared with 87 percent in rich ones. Used properly, technology can be great for enabling self-motivated students to access learning resources and connect with fellow students and teachers all over the world, says Beeban Kidron, a member of the UK’s Digital Futures Commission. The trouble is that Edtech is too often seen as a shiny new toy that will solve all problems and save money rather than being viewed as a different way to learn, she adds. 8. What can we learn about Optima Academy Online? A. It has been widely accepted. B. It holds faraway outdoor field trips. C. It provides various online courses. D. It requires parents to help with check-ins. 9. What does paragraph 3 focus on about VR in education? A. The development. B. The concerns. C. The advantages. D. The popularity. 10. Students in Mexico are mentioned to show________． A. Mexican schooling quality has been improved B. local schooling systems are not fully developed C. technology access gaps may cause education inequality D. family backgrounds shape people’s views on education 11. What does Beeban Kidron think of digital education? A. It enriches learning. B. It’s irreplaceable. C. It needs improving. D. It’s undervalued. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍虚拟现实在教学中的应用。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段“Last year, Optima Academy Online, an all-virtual school, delivered courses that aim to improve the hearts and train the minds of young people. These courses are of different levels, attracting 170 full-time students from all over Florida. (去年，Optima Academy Online，一所全虚拟的学校，提供了旨在改善年轻人心灵和训练他们心智的课程。这些课程层次不同，吸引了来自佛罗里达州各地的170名全日制学生。)”可知，Optima Academy Online提供各种层次不同的在线课程。故选C项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第三段“Future versions(版本)of VR will doubtless be widely used in education, but the only questions are: for what purpose and at what speed? There are enough reasons to doubt whether VR schools represent the future of education. Sticking a child in their bedroom with a heavy VR headset fastened to their face and no physical social interaction with other kids will fill many of them and their parents with horror.(毫无疑问，未来版本的VR将在教育中广泛使用，但唯一的问题是：出于什么目的，以什么速度？有足够的理由怀疑虚拟现实学校是否代表了教育的未来。把一个孩子戴在脸上的重型VR耳机粘在卧室里，不与其他孩子进行身体社交，这会让他们中的许多人和父母感到恐惧。)”可知，本段主要就虚拟现实在教学中的应用可能存在的问题表示担忧。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第四段“But if managed poorly, it could have the opposite effect, turning a digital divide into an educational one. There is growing evidence to suggest that is happening. In Mexico, only 24 percent of 15-year-old students in poor schools have access(使用)to a home computer for schoolwork compared with 87 percent in rich ones.(但如果管理不善，可能会产生相反的效果，将数字鸿沟变成教育鸿沟。越来越多的证据表明这种情况正在发生。在墨西哥，贫困学校中只有24%的15岁学生能够使用家用电脑完成学业，而富裕学校中这一比例为87%。)”可知，墨西哥学生被提及是为了表明技术获取差距可能导致教育不平等。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段“Used properly, technology can be great for enabling self-motivated students to access learning resources and connect with fellow students and teachers all over the world, says Beeban Kidron, a member of the UK’s Digital Futures Commission. (英国数字未来委员会成员Beeban Kidron表示，如果使用得当，技术可以很好地让有上进心的学生获得学习资源，并与世界各地的同学和老师建立联系。)”可知，Beeban Kidron认为数字教育丰富学习，使教育多元化。故选A项。 D California’s snowpack is more than two-and-a-half times larger than average (平均水平) right now, according to the state’s Department of Water Resources. As the weather gets warmer, it’s going to melt (融化). Scientists say there’s no question we need the snow. “The melting of snow has always been important every single year in California,” said scientist Dr. Pat Abbott. This comes as the latest U.S. Drought Monitor report shows almost two-thirds of the state is not experiencing drought (干旱), a huge improvement over the past few months. Unluckily, the snowpack can’t make certain that we’ll stay that way. “Drought is part of California,” said Dr. Abbott. “We’ve had a temporary respite. That doesn’t mean it has gone away completely. It will be back sooner than we would like.” The snow can be a valuable protection against wildfires, but only if it melts slowly. “Plants stay healthy. They have taken in enough water and are less likely to catch on fire for a longer time,” said Dr. Abbott. “If it becomes too hot, say in early June, and all that snow is melted and gone, the plants don’t get more water and start drying out. By the time we get to the end of the summer, it’s easier for them to catch fire. The bigger the fires are, the greater the challenge is for our firefighters.” A quick melt can also flood places near the Sierra Nevada (a mountain range in eastern California) that got more rain than they could deal with this winter. That includes places like Tulare Lake (in the Central Valley of California), which was dry for years until this winter. Now, it’s more than 100 square miles in size and flooding communities around it. The area is expecting even more flooding when the snowpack melts. But Dr. Abbott says floods like this are a necessary risk for water the state has needed for years. “The snow we’ve gotten this winter is highly positive,” said Dr. Abbott. “On the other side, nothing is ever 100%.” Dr. Abbott says the snow is also helping to fill Northern California’s man-made lake, which helps provide water we need. 12. What do the underlined words “temporary respite” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Close look. B. Short break. C. Clear goal. D. Long history. 13. What can we learn from paragraph 5? A. The snow’s melting speed matters. B. It is costly to reduce the risk of wildfires. C. Some plants died because it was too dry. D. Plants will be hurt if the snow melts slowly. 14. What does Dr. Abbott think of the snowpack in general? A. It calls for more attention. B. It does good to California. C. It may cause unnecessary worries. D. It will cause danger in the long run. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. California’s snowpack: a wonderful view B. Snowpack in California: a record snowfall C. Snowpack in California: advantages and risks D. California’s snowpack: the past and the present 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了这个冬天美国加利福尼亚州的积雪是平均水平的2.5倍多，积雪的融化对于需要水的加利福尼亚州来说有利也有弊，总体而言，这些积雪的融化对该州有积极的影响。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“This comes as the latest U.S. Drought Monitor report shows almost two-thirds of the state is not experiencing drought (干旱), a huge improvement over the past few months. Unluckily, the snowpack can’t make certain that we’ll stay that way.(与此同时，美国干旱监测机构的最新报告显示，该州近三分之二的地区没有发生干旱，这在过去几个月里有了巨大的改善。不幸的是，积雪无法确定我们会保持这种状态)”以及第四段““Drought is part of California,” said Dr. Abbott. “We’ve had a temporary respite. That doesn’t mean it has gone away completely. It will be back sooner than we would like.”(“干旱是加利福尼亚州的一部分，”Abbott博士说。“我们得到了temporary respite。这并不意味着它已经完全消失。它会比我们希望的更快回来。”)”可知，干旱是加利福尼亚州的一大特点，在过去的几个月，该州近三分之二的地区没有经历干旱，这是巨大的改善，但积雪无法保证干旱会完全消失，干旱可能又会出现，这说明积雪的融化只是让干旱的状况得到短暂的改变。temporary respite在此表示“短暂的改变”，与Short break意义相近。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“The snow can be a valuable protection against wildfires, but only if it melts slowly.(雪可能成为抵御野火的宝贵保护，但前提是雪要慢慢融化)”可知，积雪可能是抵御野火的有效保护措施，所以积雪融化的速度很重要。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““The snow we’ve gotten this winter is highly positive,” said Dr. Abbott. “On the other side, nothing is ever 100%.” Dr. Abbott says the snow is also helping to fill Northern California’s man-made lake, which helps provide water we need.(Abbott博士说：“今年冬天我们下的雪是非常良好的。”。“另一方面，没有什么是100%的。”Abbott博士说，雪也有助于填充北加利福尼亚州的人工湖，这有助于提供我们需要的水)”可知，Abbott博士认为，虽然没有什么是100%的，但今年冬天的雪是非常良好的，雪也有助于填充北加利福尼亚州的人工湖，这有助于提供人们需要的水，总体而言，Abbott博士认为积雪对加利福尼亚州有益处。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“California’s snowpack is more than two-and-a-half times larger than average (平均水平) right now, according to the state’s Department of Water Resources. As the weather gets warmer, it’s going to melt (融化). Scientists say there’s no question we need the snow.(根据加利福尼亚州水资源部的数据，加利福尼亚州目前的积雪是平均水平的2.5倍多。随着天气变暖，它将融化。科学家说，毫无疑问我们需要雪)”以及最后一段“The area is expecting even more flooding when the snowpack melts.(当积雪融化时，该地区预计会发生更多的洪水)”可知，这个冬天加利福尼亚州的积雪量是平均水平的2.5倍多，积雪的融化可以缓解当地的旱情，延缓野火的发生，但也可能引发洪水，积雪的融化对于需要水的加利福尼亚州来说有利也有弊，所以“加利福尼亚州的积雪：优势与风险”适合作为文章标题。故选C。 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。 Travel off-season Go to your desired destination while the demand is low and take advantage of huge discounts.

G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了暑假期间如何在旅游途中节省钱的几条建议。 【16题详解】 本段的小标题Travel off-season为淡季出游。根据上文提示“Go to your desired destination while the demand is low and make use of huge discounts. During the peak season, the hotel and flight prices increase quickly, and you’ll likely spend more of your vacation time standing in line due to the rush of tourists.(在需求低的时候去你想去的目的地，利用巨大的折扣。在旅游旺季，酒店和机票价格上涨很快, 由于游客的涌入，你可能会把更多的假期时间花在排队上)”可知，旺季出游时花费时间和金钱较高，又有特别多的人。此处承接上文，D项“所以最好弄清楚淡季什么时候开始。”切题。故选D。 【17题详解】 空处为段落小标题。根据下文“Websites can help you find discount hotel rooms. Look for places that do not charge extra for children if they use the existing bedding. Stay with the locals. If you and your family are going to stay for a longer period, renting a small apartment is a good choice.(网站可以帮你找到打折的酒店房间。找那些如果孩子们使用现有的床上用品就不会额外收费的地方。和当地人呆在一起。如果你和你的家人要住更长的一段时间，租一个小公寓是一个不错的选择)”可知，本段的内容主要告诉我们在住宿方面要节省以及如何选择公寓。因此选项A“在旅馆方面节省”是对本段的高度概括，符合本段的小标题。故A。 【18题详解】 根据本段小标题“Eat like a local(像当地人一样吃)”可知，本段建议我们如何选择用餐。根据上文的问句“Why eat at big chain restaurants when you can experience something new?( 当你能体验到新的东西时，为什么还要在大型连锁餐厅吃饭呢?)”可知，不一定非要去大酒店，结合下文的“During your family trip, try new food where the locals eat. This will not just save money, but also provide you with a new and different experience.(在你的家庭旅行中，尝试当地人吃的新食物。这不仅能省钱，还能给你带来全新的体验)”可知，去小餐馆或街头小吃更省钱还能带来全新体验。选项E“计划膳食是另一种减少旅行费用的方法。”回应了上文的问句并衔接下文。故选E。 【19题详解】 根据横线前提示“Clothes, travel goodies, souvenirs, etc., are very expensive at these places.(衣服、旅游商品、纪念品等在这些地方都很贵)”可知，旅游中买衣服，旅游商品，纪念品花费很高。此处承接上文，F项“因此，你不应该为讨价还价而感到羞愧。”切题。该项与上文构成因果关系。故选F。 【20题详解】 根据标题“Choose local transportation(选择当地交通)”可知，下文应与交通有关。根据下文提示“Instead, take buses, railways or subways, which are always cheaper.(相反，乘坐公共汽车、铁路或地铁总是更便宜)”可知，横线上所填内容应该是我们避开的交通工具。此处顺承下文，G项“作为一名游客，尽可能避免乘坐出租车，因为出租车很贵。”切题。故选G。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分45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。 After I graduated from college I struggled to hunt for a job.

Gradually逐渐地；B. Eventually最终；C. Hopefully有希望地；D. Naturally自然地。根据前文 “求职困难” 的语境，以及下文“I found a job in a group home for mentally disabled adults.”可知，此处强调 “最终找到工作” 的结果。故选B。 【23题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：这不是轻松的工作。A. interesting有趣的；B. dirty脏的；C. easy容易的；D. demanding要求高的。根据下文“we were responsible for the feeding, dressing and safety” 可知，工作涉及多项具体照料任务，暗示工作不轻松。故选C。 【24题详解】 考查形容词短语辨析。句意：日常生活中，我们负责客户的饮食、穿衣和安全。A. responsible for对…… 负责；B. worried about担心；C. strict about对…… 严格；D. familiar with对……熟悉。根据下文“the feeding, dressing and safety of our clients (客户) .”可知，“负责照料客户” 是工作职责的核心表达，符合语境。故选A。 【25题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：当他烦躁时，常常会用动作表现出来。A. annoyed烦躁的；B. excited兴奋的；C. embarrassed尴尬的；D. satisfied满意的。根据上文“I found a job in a group home for mentally disabled adults. ”可知，作者照顾的是有精神疾病的患者，由此推知，不能说话的烦躁时，会用动作表达出来。故选A。 【26题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：然而，他确实喜欢外出散步，因此其他员工常让我带他去路上散步，让他平静下来。A. oppose反对；B. quit放弃；C. suggest建议；D. enjoy喜欢。根据下文“other workers would often have me take him for a walk” 可推知，他喜欢散步，所以员工常让 “我” 带他去。故选D。 【27题详解】 考查连词词义辨析。句意：然而，他确实喜欢外出散步，因此其他员工常让我带他去路上散步，让他平静下来。A. but但是；B. for因为；C. so因此；D. yet然而。前半句 “他喜欢散步” 与后半句 “员工让我带他散步” 构成因果关系，“so” 表结果。故选C。 【28题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意同上。A. get得到；B. knock敲；C. put放；D. calm使平静。根据上文“When he was ____ ”说他生气，所以带他散步是让他平静，calm sb down 使某人平静下来，故选D。 【29题详解】 考查副词词义辨析。句意：一天我们外出散步时，我突然感觉有东西触碰我的手指。A. suddenly突然地；B. instantly立即地；C. constantly持续地；D. obviously明显地。根据“ One day when we were out walking,”可知，触碰作者的手是意外的情况，“突然感觉触碰” 体现动作的意外性，符合语境。故选A。 【30题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：这个年轻人试图握住我的手。A. clap拍手；B. shake摇晃；C. hold握住；D. lift举起。根据下文 “I took his hand in mine” 可知，他试图 “握住” 我的手。故选C。 【31题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：我没有推开他的手，而是握住他的手，一起在阳光下散步。A. throwing扔；B. pushing推；C. blowing吹；D. carrying携带。“pushing away”（推开）与 “took his hand”（握住）形成对比，符合语义逻辑。故选B。 【32题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：当我们转身准备回家时，我看到了（他眼中光）。A. continued继续；B. planned计划；C. pretended假装；D. turned转身。根据下文“head back to the home”可知，转身准备回家。故选D。 【33题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：我没想到上帝会用这段经历帮助我为自己两个自闭症儿子做好准备。A. promise承诺；B. ask询问；C. prepare准备；D. exchange交换。根据上文作者的这段工作经历以及“for my own two sons’ autism (自闭症).”可知，这段经历帮助作者为自己两个自闭症儿子做好准备。故选 C。 【34题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：这也帮助我看到他们内心的光芒。A. innocence天真；B. light光芒；C. luck幸运；D. energy能量。根据上文“there was a light shining in his eyes” 可知，此处 “light” 为原词复现，呼应主题。故选B。 【35题详解】 考查动词短语辨析。句意：这让我明白，照顾他们不是一种责任，而是一种荣幸。A. looking for寻找；B. thinking about思考；C. cheering up使振作；D. caring for照顾。根据上文“my own two sons’ autism (自闭症).”以及“found a job in a group home for mentally disabled adults.”可知，此处是指照顾生病的客户以及儿子。故选D。 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 “Nezha 2: Return of the Demon Child” has been a huge hit since its release, attracting audiences with its ___36___(thrill) plot and stunning visuals.

It makes the audience think about ____45____ they would do when faced with difficulties. With its amazing animation (动画制作) and meaningful story, “Nezha 2” has become a must-watch for both kids and adults. 【答案】36. thrilling 37. begins 38. with 39. characters 40. who##that 41. unusual 42. to protect 43. the 44. responsibility 45. what 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了《哪吒2：魔童归来》这部电影的主要故事情节。 【36题详解】 考查形容词。句意：《哪吒2：魔童归来》自上映以来一直大受欢迎，以其惊险的情节和令人惊叹的视觉效果吸引了观众。此处需要一个形容词来修饰名词“plot”，“thrill”是动词，其形容词有“thrilled”和“thrilling”，“thrilled”常用来形容人“感到激动的”，“thrilling” 常用来形容事物“令人激动的”，这里修饰“plot”（情节），所以用“thrilling”。故填thrilling。 【37题详解】 考查动词时态和语态。句意：故事开始于第一部电影的情节之后。根据语境，这里描述电影的故事开始，是客观事实，用一般现在时，主语“The story”是第三人称单数，所以动词“begin”用第三人称单数形式“begins”。故填begins。 【38题详解】 考查固定短语。句意：哪吒和敖丙，在天灾中幸存下来，面临着新的挑战。“be faced with”是固定短语，意为“面临；面对”。故填with。 【39题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：在旅途中，哪吒和敖丙遇到了各种各样的人物和障碍。“various”表示“各种各样的”，后面接可数名词复数，“character”是可数名词，意为 “人物”，所以用复数形式“characters”。故填characters。 【40题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：他们遇到了一路上帮助他们新朋友，也面临着试图阻止他们的强大敌人。分析句子可知，设空处引导限定性定语从句，修饰先行词“friends”，先行词指人，在从句中作主语，所以可以用关系代词“who/that”引导。故填who或that。 【41题详解】 考查形容词。句意：哪吒以他不同寻常的勇气和决心，永不放弃。根据语境，哪吒有勇气和决心，这种勇气和决心应该是“不寻常的”，“usual”是形容词“通常的”，其反义词 “unusual”表示“不寻常的”，符合文意。故填unusual。 【42题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：他决心保护他的朋友，改变自己的命运。“be determined to do sth.”是固定用法，意为“决心做某事”，所以此处为动词不定式形式。故填to protect。 【43题详解】 考查冠词。句意：这部电影不仅展示了友谊和勇气的力量，还探讨了诸如责任和生命意义等更深层次的主题。“the power of friendship and courage”表示“友谊和勇气的力量”，这里是特指，所以用定冠词“the”。故填the。 【44题详解】 考查名词。句意：这部电影不仅展示了友谊和勇气的力量，还探讨了诸如责任和生命意义等更深层次的主题。由空后and连接的“the meaning”为名词可知，此处也应为名词形式，构成并列结构。故填responsibility。 【45题详解】 考查宾语从句。句意：它让观众思考当面对困难时他们会怎么做。分析句子可知，设空处引导宾语从句，从句中“do”缺少宾语，且结合语境，这里表示“当面对困难时会做什么”，所以用连接代词“what”引导宾语从句。故填what。 第三节 单句语法填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 46.

(所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】contribution 【解析】 【详解】考查名词。句意：她给学校捐了很多钱，并且她为教育事业做出了巨大的贡献。本空作has made的宾语，应用名词contribution“贡献”，前面有不定冠词a修饰，此处用单数形式。故填contribution。 51. An old hand at photography, Tim ________ (shoot) wildlife as a hobby for the last 13 years. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】has been shooting 【解析】 【详解】考查时态。句意：作为摄影界的老手，Tim在过去的13年里一直将拍摄野生动物作为爱好。shoot“拍摄”。本空作谓语，根据时间状语“for the last 13 years”可知，句子描述从过去开始一直持续到现在，并将继续持续下去的动作，时态应用现在完成进行时，主语Tim是第三人称单数，助动词应用has。故填has been shooting。 52.

It tells you ________ to get information from one computer to another. (用适当的词填空) 【答案】how 【解析】 【详解】考查疑问词。句意：它告诉你如何从一台计算机到另一台计算机获取信息。表示“如何”，疑问词为how。“how to get information from one computer to another.”作宾语。故填how。 55. He subscribed a large sum of money ________ the relief fund. (用适当的词填空) 【答案】to 【解析】 【详解】考查介词。句意：他捐了一大笔钱给救济基金。subscribe money to sb.是固定短语，意为“向某人捐款”，因此空格处用介词to，故填to。 第四部分 写作（满分25分） 56. 假定你是李华，你校诗歌爱好者俱乐部将组织一场中国诗歌朗诵比赛。请你发一封邮件邀请你的好友 Peter 来参加，内容如下： 比赛目的 传播中国传统文化 比赛时间 本周五 7：30p.m.—— 9：30p.m. 比赛地点 学校礼堂 朗诵形式 独诵、小组朗诵等 注意：1.词数：80 左右； 2.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯； 3.开头和结尾已为你写好，不计入总词数。 参考词汇：recite 朗诵 Chinese poetry reciting competition 中国诗歌朗诵比赛 Dear Peter, ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Peter, How’s everything going?

B In our meditation (冥想) group on Monday morning, one of the ladies asked if the group leader could take us through meditation to ease worries. Later that day, I thought that I would reach out to her just to let her know that I was there for her. I must admit all sorts of reasons why I shouldn’t reach out came to mind, but I allowed myself to get rid of my weakness and sent an email anyway. It was through one of those messaging type things that I could see the other person was reacting. I could see that quite soon after, the lady was writing a reply. However, she must have changed her mind and decided to give it up and not send it after all. Anyway, 2 days later, this morning, she sent me a nice message which opened up a short talk about our past and present experiences and we found a common connection. In the end, I invited her to an online group where we could meet every Sunday just to connect and chat. She promised to join us. I knew that she was glad that I had reached out. Afterwards, I realized that I did have a new friend. When I learned about her difficult life, I offered to help her get through difficulty. When I had problems, she was always there. What a real lucky thing is to step into someone’s life situation and come together with them on their journey. I always think it is the most pleasant thing in the world! I’m so thankful to have had a new friend today! 4. What can we learn about the lady on Monday morning? A. She felt anxious then. B. She was unfit for the group. C. She turned to the author for help. D. She was eager to have a new friend. 5. How did the lady deal with the author’s email? A. She ignored it completely. B. She quit answering it halfway. C. She took back the email she had sent. D. She directly refused to answer the author. 6. Why did the author invite the lady to an online group? A. To communicate regularly. B. To replace the former activity. C. To set up a commercial project. D. To join the same meditation group. 7. What does the author want to express in the text? A. A friend is easier lost than found. B. A friend in need is a friend indeed. C. A friend without faults will never be found. D. A friend to everybody is a friend to nobody. C Imagine a school where students are taught by the best teachers in every subject, regardless of location. Imagine a school where students could go on safe field trips to the Amazon rainforest or Everest base camp. Well, such schools are already being built: in virtual(虚拟的)reality. Last year, Optima Academy Online, an all-virtual school, delivered courses that aim to improve the hearts and train the minds of young people. These courses are of different levels, attracting 170 full-time students from all over Florida. In the progress of home-schooling, students use headsets for about three hours a day for formal lessons and then do course work independently with digital check-ins. Future versions(版本)of VR will doubtless be widely used in education, but the only questions are: for what purpose and at what speed? There are enough reasons to doubt whether VR schools represent the future of education. Sticking a child in their bedroom with a heavy VR headset fastened to their face and no physical social interaction with other kids will fill many of them and their parents with horror. A recent report concluded that digital education could significantly improve the quality and equality of schooling systems. But if managed poorly, it could have the opposite effect, turning a digital divide into an educational one. There is growing evidence to suggest that is happening. In Mexico, only 24 percent of 15-year-old students in poor schools have access(使用)to a home computer for schoolwork compared with 87 percent in rich ones. Used properly, technology can be great for enabling self-motivated students to access learning resources and connect with fellow students and teachers all over the world, says Beeban Kidron, a member of the UK’s Digital Futures Commission. The trouble is that Edtech is too often seen as a shiny new toy that will solve all problems and save money rather than being viewed as a different way to learn, she adds. 8. What can we learn about Optima Academy Online? A. It has been widely accepted. B. It holds faraway outdoor field trips. C. It provides various online courses. D. It requires parents to help with check-ins. 9. What does paragraph 3 focus on about VR in education? A. The development. B. The concerns. C. The advantages. D. The popularity. 10. Students in Mexico are mentioned to show________． A. Mexican schooling quality has been improved B. local schooling systems are not fully developed C. technology access gaps may cause education inequality D. family backgrounds shape people’s views on education 11. What does Beeban Kidron think of digital education? A. It enriches learning. B. It’s irreplaceable. C. It needs improving. D. It’s undervalued. D California’s snowpack is more than two-and-a-half times larger than average (平均水平) right now, according to the state’s Department of Water Resources. As the weather gets warmer, it’s going to melt (融化). Scientists say there’s no question we need the snow. “The melting of snow has always been important every single year in California,” said scientist Dr. Pat Abbott. This comes as the latest U.S. Drought Monitor report shows almost two-thirds of the state is not experiencing drought (干旱), a huge improvement over the past few months. Unluckily, the snowpack can’t make certain that we’ll stay that way. “Drought is part of California,” said Dr. Abbott. “We’ve had a temporary respite. That doesn’t mean it has gone away completely. It will be back sooner than we would like.” The snow can be a valuable protection against wildfires, but only if it melts slowly. “Plants stay healthy. They have taken in enough water and are less likely to catch on fire for a longer time,” said Dr. Abbott. “If it becomes too hot, say in early June, and all that snow is melted and gone, the plants don’t get more water and start drying out. By the time we get to the end of the summer, it’s easier for them to catch fire. The bigger the fires are, the greater the challenge is for our firefighters.” A quick melt can also flood places near the Sierra Nevada (a mountain range in eastern California) that got more rain than they could deal with this winter. That includes places like Tulare Lake (in the Central Valley of California), which was dry for years until this winter. Now, it’s more than 100 square miles in size and flooding communities around it. The area is expecting even more flooding when the snowpack melts. But Dr. Abbott says floods like this are a necessary risk for water the state has needed for years. “The snow we’ve gotten this winter is highly positive,” said Dr. Abbott. “On the other side, nothing is ever 100%.” Dr. Abbott says the snow is also helping to fill Northern California’s man-made lake, which helps provide water we need. 12. What do the underlined words “temporary respite” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Close look. B. Short break. C. Clear goal. D. Long history. 13. What can we learn from paragraph 5? A. The snow’s melting speed matters. B. It is costly to reduce the risk of wildfires. C. Some plants died because it was too dry. D. Plants will be hurt if the snow melts slowly. 14 What does Dr. Abbott think of the snowpack in general? A. It calls for more attention. B. It does good to California. C. It may cause unnecessary worries. D. It will cause danger in the long run. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. California’s snowpack: a wonderful view B. Snowpack in California: a record snowfall C. Snowpack in California: advantages and risks D. California’s snowpack: the past and the present 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。 Travel off-season Go to your desired destination while the demand is low and take advantage of huge discounts.
