B To the dynamic beat of Aretha Franklin’s songs, families sit in the crowd at the hall of the Manilla School. They are waiting, eager for the moment when students will participate in a one-of-a-kind program called Spark. The meeting will pair students with volunteer apprentice (学徒) teachers. Lawyers, hair stylists, and software developers will meet up with students who have selected their occupations as the ones they would most like to learn about. Spark apprenticeships provide workplace experiences that bring economically disadvantaged teens into contact with a world they have probably only imagined. Nationally, some 30 percent of US high school students drop out. While improved curricula (课程), better teaching, and modern equipment may be part of the solution, “you have to have the relevance,” says Mr. Balme of his six-year-old Spark program. The gap between those worlds — one of limited expectations and hardship, the other of success and prosperity — hit Balme one day when he was volunteering as a science teacher at a public school in Philadelphia. He was also studying at the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania. The public school was in bad shape, with a high dropout rate. While walking back to Wharton, Balme realized he was “seeing all the resources, and yet these kids had no idea what was right there all around them.” That’s when everything fell into place. The problem and the solution were right next to each other. In 2004, he and Melia Dicker founded Spark. Apprenticeships are “not rocket science,” says Holly Depatie, Spark board chair. But other coaching programs, such as Boys and Girls Clubs of America, while pairing youngsters with adults, don’t specifically target learning about jobs. So far, Spark has created more than 700 apprenticeships in the San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles. 24. How does Spark help the students? A. By offering hands-on experiences. B. By updating teaching equipment. C. By financing young apprentices. D. By improving school curricula. 25. What is the major drive for Balme to set up Spark? A. The dropout rate of US high schools. B. The prosperity in famous universities. C. The expectation of disadvantaged teens. D. The imbalance in educational resources. 26. Which word best describes Balme? A. Tolerant. B. Grateful. C. Observant. D. Modest. 27. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph? A. To justify similar programs. B. To tackle Spark’s challenge. C. To show Spark’s difference. D. To criticize current situations. C A newly described species of tardigrades, also known as water bears, is giving scientists insights into what makes these tiny creatures so resistant to radiation. Tardigrades, mostly less than l millimeter in length with their sausage-shaped bodies and four pairs of short, unjointed legs, have long interested scientists with their ability to withstand extreme conditions, including radiation. There are around 1,500 known tardigrade species, but only a handful are well-studied. Now, Lingqiang Zhang, a biologist at the Beijing Institute of Lifeomics, and his coworkers have sequenced (测序) the genetic group of a species new to science, and revealed some secrets of their radiation-resisting powers. Around six years ago, Zhang and his coworkers ventured into Funiu Mountain in China’s Henan province to collect moss samples. Back in the laboratory and under the microscope, they identified a previously undocumented species of tardigrade, which they named Hypsibius henanensis. When the researchers exposed H. henanensis to radiation levels of 200 and 2, 000 grays — far beyond what would be survivable for humans — they found one of the genes, called TRIDI, edits a protein that helps to repair double-strand breaks in DNA by gathering specialized proteins at sites of damage. “This is a new gene that, to my knowledge, no one was studying, ” says Bob Goldstein, a cell biologist at the University of North Carolina. The researchers also estimate that 0.5 — 3.1% of the tardigrade’s genes were acquired from other organisms through a process known as horizontal gene transfer (转移) . A gene called DODA1, which seems to have been acquired from bacteria, enables tardigrades to produce betalains, which can mop up some of the harmful reactive chemicals that radiation causes to form inside cells. The researchers believe their insights could be used to help protect astronauts from radiation during space missions, clean up nuclear pollution or improve cancer treatment. “We are still lacking knowledge of different tardigrade species out there. These animals have “a source of protectants that will probably keep pouring out more that will be useful and interesting to understand,” says Goldstein. 28 What makes tardigrades so appealing to scientists? A. Their survival ability. B. Their odd appearance. C. Their species diversity. D. Their large population. 29. What can TRIDI in tardigrades do? A. Produce protective substances. B. Acquire external genes. C. Facilitate protein exchanges. D. Repair damaged DNA． 30. What does the underlined phrase “mop up” in paragraph 5 mean? A Distribute. B. Remove. C. Mirror. D. Activate. 31. Which of the following can be a suitable title? A. Tardigrades: The Reemerging Species. B. Tardigrades: Tiny Giants with Ancient Origins. C. Discovering New Tardigrade Species in China. D. Unlocking Tardigrades’ Radiation Defense. D Each year, the world loses about 10 million hectares of forest — an area about the size of Iceland — because of cutting down trees. At that rate, some scientists predict the world’s forests could disappear in 100 to 200 years. To handle it, now researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have pioneered a technique to generate wood-like plant materials in a lab. This makes it possible to “grow” a wooden product without cutting down trees. In the lab, the researchers first take cells from the leaves of a young plant. These cells are cultured in liquid medium for two days, and then moved to another medium which contains nutrients and two different hormones (激素). By adjusting the hormone levels, the researchers can tune the physical and mechanical qualities of the cells. Next, the researchers use a 3D printer to shape the cell-based material, and let the shaped material grow in the dark for three months. Finally, the researchers dehydrate (脱水) the material, and then evaluate its qualities. They found that lower hormone levels lead to plant materials with more rounded, open cells of lower density (密度), while higher hormone levels contribute to the growth of plant materials with smaller but denser cell structures. Lower or higher density of cell structures makes the plant materials softer or more rigid, helping the materials grow with different wood-like characteristics. What’s more, it’s to be noted that the research process is about 100 times faster than the time it takes for a tree to grow to maturity! Research of this kind is ground-breaking. “This work demonstrates the great power of a technology,” says lead researcher, Jeffrey Berenstain. “The real opportunity here is to be at its best with what you use and how you use it. This technology can be tuned to meet the requirements you give about shapes, sizes, rigidity, and forms. It enables us to ‘grow’ any wooden product in a way that traditional agricultural methods can’t achieve.” 32. Why do researchers at MIT perform the research? A. To grow more trees. B. To reduce tree losses. C. To protect plant diversity. D. To predict forest disappearance. 33. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about the lab research? A. Its scientific evidence. B. Its theoretical basis. C. Its usual difficulties. D. Its key procedures. 34. What does the finding suggest about the plant materials? A. They are better than naturally grown plants. B. Their cells’ shapes mainly rely on their density. C. Their rigidity is affected by the hormone levels. D. Their growth speed determines their characteristics. 35. Why is the research ground-breaking according to Berenstain? A. It uses new biological materials in lab experiments. B. It revolutionizes the way to make wooden products. C. It challenges traditional scientific theories in forestry. D. It has a significant impact on worldwide plant growth. 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的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 Power of Peers Do birds of a feather really flock together? People do tend to choose friends who are similar to them. Many behaviors spread socially. Activities in certain brain areas change when other people are around. ____36____ You can use the power of social relationships to gain healthier habits — and motivate others to do the same. ____37____ Teens are especially responsive to peer influence. At the same time, the reward system in the teen brain becomes extra sensitive. Teens are just learning to explore the social world. Understanding other people’s values and being influenced by them are important parts of socializing. A research shows that even just having another peer around can change the reward response in the brain and also the risk-taking tendencies of teenagers. Some people seem to be more easily influenced than others and more sensitive to feeling included or excluded by others. ____38____ But it’s also a time that peer influence can help teens thrive if it gets them more involved with their community or helps them learn behaviors to get along with others. It’s the quality of friendships — not quantity — that really makes the difference. Friendships you feel you want to let go of may be low quality. ____39____ High quality friendships provide understanding support, and recognition of your self-worth. These types of friendships are more steady and satisfying. Spending time with friends can be especially helpful for people. Noticing that our behavior is influenced by other people, we can be intentional and try to focus on the people who are doing the things we want to get into ourselves. ____40____ A. Adolescence is such a risky period. B. That can affect what you choose to do. C. Peer pressure can sometimes lead to competition. D. People care about what others think across all different age groups. E. They are linked to poor academic performance and behavioral issues. F. Sharing your healthy habits could also make a real difference to others. G. The number of friends you have determines your level of social influence. 第三部分 英语知识运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节：完型填空(共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项A、B、C和D中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When I first built my website 3 years ago, I had no idea what I was doing.

The shop owner replied, “For anything between $30 and $50.” The little boy reached in his pocket and pulled out some change from it. “I have $2. 37 on me,” he said in a low voice. “Can I please look at them?” The shop owner smiled and whistled. Out of the doghouse came the mother dog, who ran down the passage of his shop, followed by five tiny ball of fur. One puppy was moving slowly and fell behind. In no time the little boy picked out the slow puppy and asked, “What’s wrong with that little dog?” The shop owner explained that the vet had examined the little puppy and had discovered that one of his back legs was injured. He would always walk slowly and with difficulty. He would be lame (瘸的). Hearing what the shop owner had said, the little boy became excited, “That is the little puppy I want to buy.” The shop owner said, “No, you don’t want to buy that little dog. If you really want him, I’ll just give him to you.” The little boy got quite upset. He looked straight into the shop owner’s eyes and said, “I don’t want you to give him to me. That little dog is worth every bit as much as all the other dogs and I’ll pay full price.

The ancient egyptians and romans employed various techniques to cool down their buildings from the outside heat. Some people have even claimed that the first air conditioning device was invented in ancient egypt. The ancient egyptians would hang wet plants outside their windows, and when the air came into the house, IT would be cooled by the cool water drops on the plants. The romans understood that if they could bring cold water under their houses, then the temperature inside would fall. And if we really stretch the meaning of the phrase air conditioning, then hand fans have been used since the very beginning of the history. People realized that they could move air by waving something, and IT would cool them down for a while. The chinese invented丁huan went a step further in the second century and invented offend that could go around similar to the fans we might see today。Although IT was powered by servants, that's all for today.

They are waiting, eager for the moment when students will participate in a one-of-a-kind program called Spark. The meeting will pair students with volunteer apprentice (学徒) teachers. Lawyers hair stylists, and software developers will meet up with students who have selected their occupations as the ones they would most like to learn about. Spark apprenticeships provide workplace experiences that bring economically disadvantaged teens into contact with a world they have probably only imagined. Nationally, some 30 percent of US high school students drop out. While improved curricula (课程), better teaching, and modern equipment may be part of the solution, “you have to have the relevance,” says Mr. Balme of his six-year-old Spark program. The gap between those worlds — one of limited expectations and hardship, the other of success and prosperity — hit Balme one day when he was volunteering as a science teacher at a public school in Philadelphia. He was also studying at the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania. The public school was in bad shape, with a high dropout rate. While walking back to Wharton, Balme realized he was “seeing all the resources, and yet these kids had no idea what was right there all around them.” That’s when everything fell into place. The problem and the solution were right next to each other. In 2004, he and Melia Dicker founded Spark. Apprenticeships are “not rocket science,” says Holly Depatie, Spark board chair. But other coaching programs, such as Boys and Girls Clubs of America, while pairing youngsters with adults, don’t specifically target learning about jobs. So far, Spark has created more than 700 apprenticeships in the San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles. 24. How does Spark help the students? A. By offering hands-on experiences. B. By updating teaching equipment. C. By financing young apprentices. D. By improving school curricula. 25. What is the major drive for Balme to set up Spark? A. The dropout rate of US high schools. B. The prosperity in famous universities. C. The expectation of disadvantaged teens. D. The imbalance in educational resources. 26. Which word best describes Balme? A. Tolerant. B. Grateful. C. Observant. D. Modest. 27. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph? A. To justify similar programs. B. To tackle Spark’s challenge. C. To show Spark’s difference. D. To criticize current situations. 【答案】24. A 25. D 26. C 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，文章主要介绍了Spark项目，包括其起源、目的、实施方式以及与其他教练项目的区别。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Spark apprenticeships provide workplace experiences that bring economically disadvantaged teens into contact with a world they have probably only imagined.(Spark学徒计划为经济条件不佳的青少年提供工作场所体验，让他们接触到可能只在想象中出现过的世界。)”可知，Spark项目通过提供实践体验帮助学生。故选A。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The gap between those worlds — one of limited expectations and hardship, the other of success and prosperity (繁荣) — hit Balme one day when he was volunteering as a science teacher at a public school in Philadelphia.(当Balme在费城的一所公立学校担任科学教师志愿者时，他有一天深刻感受到了这两个世界之间的鸿沟——一个是期望渺茫、充满艰辛的世界，另一个是成功与繁荣的世界。)”可知，教育资源的不平衡是Balme创办Spark的动力。故选D。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The gap between those worlds — one of limited expectations and hardship, the other of success and prosperity (繁荣) — hit Balme one day when he was volunteering as a science teacher at a public school in Philadelphia.(当Balme在费城的一所公立学校担任科学教师志愿者时，他有一天深刻感受到了这两个世界之间的鸿沟——一个是期望渺茫、充满艰辛的世界，另一个是成功与繁荣的世界。)”可知，Balme能发现教育资源的不平衡问题，说明他是善于观察的。故选C。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Apprenticeships are “not rocket science,” says Holly Depatie, Spark board chair. But other coaching programs, such as Boys and Girls Clubs of America, while pairing youngsters with adults, don’t specifically target learning about jobs.(Spark董事会主席Holly Depatie表示，虽然学徒‘不是火箭科学’。但其他一些培训项目，比如Boys and Girls Clubs of America，虽然将青少年与成年人配对，但并不专门针对学习工作。)”可知，作者在最后一段指出了其他辅导项目不像Spark专门针对职业学习，其目是为了突出Spark的独特之处。故选C。 C A newly described species of tardigrades, also known as water bears, is giving scientists insights into what makes these tiny creatures so resistant to radiation. Tardigrades, mostly less than l millimeter in length with their sausage-shaped bodies and four pairs of short, unjointed legs, have long interested scientists with their ability to withstand extreme conditions, including radiation. There are around 1,500 known tardigrade species, but only a handful are well-studied. Now, Lingqiang Zhang, a biologist at the Beijing Institute of Lifeomics, and his coworkers have sequenced (测序) the genetic group of a species new to science, and revealed some secrets of their radiation-resisting powers. Around six years ago, Zhang and his coworkers ventured into Funiu Mountain in China’s Henan province to collect moss samples. Back in the laboratory and under the microscope, they identified a previously undocumented species of tardigrade, which they named Hypsibius henanensis. When the researchers exposed H. henanensis to radiation levels of 200 and 2, 000 grays — far beyond what would be survivable for humans — they found one of the genes, called TRIDI, edits a protein that helps to repair double-strand breaks in DNA by gathering specialized proteins at sites of damage. “This is a new gene that, to my knowledge, no one was studying, ” says Bob Goldstein, a cell biologist at the University of North Carolina. The researchers also estimate that 0.5 — 3.1% of the tardigrade’s genes were acquired from other organisms through a process known as horizontal gene transfer (转移) . A gene called DODA1, which seems to have been acquired from bacteria, enables tardigrades to produce betalains, which can mop up some of the harmful reactive chemicals that radiation causes to form inside cells. The researchers believe their insights could be used to help protect astronauts from radiation during space missions, clean up nuclear pollution or improve cancer treatment. “We are still lacking knowledge of different tardigrade species out there. These animals have “a source of protectants that will probably keep pouring out more that will be useful and interesting to understand,” says Goldstein. 28. What makes tardigrades so appealing to scientists? A. Their survival ability. B. Their odd appearance. C. Their species diversity. D. Their large population. 29. What can TRIDI in tardigrades do? A. Produce protective substances. B. Acquire external genes. C. Facilitate protein exchanges. D. Repair damaged DNA． 30. What does the underlined phrase “mop up” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Distribute. B. Remove. C. Mirror. D. Activate. 31. Which of the following can be a suitable title? A. Tardigrades: The Reemerging Species. B. Tardigrades: Tiny Giants with Ancient Origins. C. Discovering New Tardigrade Species in China. D. Unlocking Tardigrades’ Radiation Defense. 【答案】28. A 29. D 30. B 31. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了缓步动物耐受极端环境（包括辐射）的能力让科学家感兴趣，为此展开了研究，发现了它们可以抵抗辐射背后的原因在于它们的基因。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Tardigrades, mostly less than l millimeter in length with their sausage-shaped bodies and four pairs of short, unjointed legs, have long interested scientists with their ability to withstand extreme conditions, including radiation. (缓步动物大多身长不到1毫米，身体呈香肠状，有四对短而无节的腿。长期以来，科学家们一直对它们耐受极端环境（包括辐射）的能力感兴趣)”可知，缓步动物的生存能力吸引了科学家。故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“When the researchers exposed H. henanensis to radiation levels of 200 and 2, 000 grays—far beyond what would be survivable for humans — they found one of the genes, called TRIDI, edits a protein that helps to repair double-strand breaks in DNA by gathering specialized proteins at sites of damage. (当研究人员将河南高生熊虫暴露在200和2000格雷的辐射水平（远远超过人类的生存能力）下时，他们发现其中一个被称为TRIDI的基因可以编辑一种蛋白质，这种蛋白质通过在受损部位收集专门的蛋白质来帮助修复DNA中的双链断裂)”可知，缓步动物体内的TRIDI能修复受损的DNA。故选D。 30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“A newly described species of tardigrades, also known as water bears, is giving scientists insights into what makes these tiny creatures so resistant to radiation. (一种新发现的缓步动物，也被称为水熊，让科学家们了解了是什么让这些微小的生物如此抵抗辐射)”；划线词上文“A gene called DODA1, which seems to have been acquired from bacteria, enables tardigrades to produce betalains (一种名为DODA1的基因似乎是从细菌中获得的，它使缓步动物能够产生β素)”以及后文“some of the harmful reactive chemicals that radiation causes to form inside cells (……辐射导致细胞内形成的一些有害的反应性化学物质)”可知，水熊虫可以抵抗辐射，说明其基因中产生的β素可以去除辐射导致细胞内形成的一些有害的反应性化学物质，从而抵抗辐射。故划线词意思是“去除”。故选B。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“A newly described species of tardigrades, also known as water bears, is giving scientists insights into what makes these tiny creatures so resistant to radiation. (一种新发现的缓步动物，也被称为水熊，让科学家们了解了是什么让这些微小的生物如此抵抗辐射)”结合文章主要说明了缓步动物耐受极端环境（包括辐射）的能力让科学家感兴趣，为此展开了研究，发现了它们可以抵抗辐射背后的原因在于它们的基因。可知，D选项“解锁缓步动物的辐射防御”最符合文章标题。故选D。 D Each year, the world loses about 10 million hectares of forest — an area about the size of Iceland — because of cutting down trees. At that rate, some scientists predict the world’s forests could disappear in 100 to 200 years. To handle it, now researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have pioneered a technique to generate wood-like plant materials in a lab. This makes it possible to “grow” a wooden product without cutting down trees. In the lab, the researchers first take cells from the leaves of a young plant. These cells are cultured in liquid medium for two days, and then moved to another medium which contains nutrients and two different hormones (激素). By adjusting the hormone levels, the researchers can tune the physical and mechanical qualities of the cells. Next, the researchers use a 3D printer to shape the cell-based material, and let the shaped material grow in the dark for three months. Finally, the researchers dehydrate (脱水) the material, and then evaluate its qualities. They found that lower hormone levels lead to plant materials with more rounded, open cells of lower density (密度), while higher hormone levels contribute to the growth of plant materials with smaller but denser cell structures. Lower or higher density of cell structures makes the plant materials softer or more rigid, helping the materials grow with different wood-like characteristics. What’s more, it’s to be noted that the research process is about 100 times faster than the time it takes for a tree to grow to maturity! Research of this kind is ground-breaking. “This work demonstrates the great power of a technology,” says lead researcher, Jeffrey Berenstain. “The real opportunity here is to be at its best with what you use and how you use it. This technology can be tuned to meet the requirements you give about shapes, sizes, rigidity, and forms. It enables us to ‘grow’ any wooden product in a way that traditional agricultural methods can’t achieve.” 32. Why do researchers at MIT perform the research? A. To grow more trees. B. To reduce tree losses. C. To protect plant diversity. D. To predict forest disappearance. 33. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about the lab research? A. Its scientific evidence. B. Its theoretical basis. C. Its usual difficulties. D. Its key procedures. 34. What does the finding suggest about the plant materials? A. They are better than naturally grown plants. B. Their cells’ shapes mainly rely on their density. C. Their rigidity is affected by the hormone levels. D. Their growth speed determines their characteristics. 35. Why is the research ground-breaking according to Berenstain? A. It uses new biological materials in lab experiments. B. It revolutionizes the way to make wooden products. C. It challenges traditional scientific theories in forestry. D. It has a significant impact on worldwide plant growth. 【答案】32. B 33. D 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了麻省理工学院（MIT）的研究人员开发的一种在实验室中生成类似木材的植物材料的技术，以减少对自然森林的砍伐。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“To handle it, now researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have pioneered a technique to generate wood-like plant materials in a lab. This makes it possible to ‘grow’ a wooden product without cutting down trees. (为了解决这一问题，麻省理工学院的研究人员开发了一种在实验室中生成类似木材的植物材料的技术，从而无需砍伐树木即可“种植”木制品。)”可知，研究目的是减少树木的损失。故选B。 【33题详解】 主旨大意题。第二段详细描述了实验的关键步骤：提取植物细胞、培养、调整激素水平、3D打印成型、生长和脱水评估。根据文章第二段“In the lab, the researchers first take cells…then evaluate its qualities. (在实验室中，研究人员首先提取细胞……最后评估其品质。)”可知，本段主要介绍实验的关键流程。故选D。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“They found that lower hormone levels lead to plant materials with more rounded, open cells of lower density (密度), while higher hormone levels contribute to the growth of plant materials with smaller but denser cell structures. Lower or higher density of cell structures makes the plant materials softer or more rigid, helping the materials grow with different wood-like characteristics. (他们发现，较低的激素水平会导致细胞密度较低、细胞结构更开放、更圆的植物材料，而较高的激素水平有助于生长出细胞结构小但更致密的植物材料。细胞结构密度较低或较高的植物材料会更柔软或更坚硬，有助于这些材料生长出不同的木质感。)”可知，植物材料的硬度受激素水平影响。故选C。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段Jeffrey Berenstain的表述“This technology can be tuned to meet the requirements. This technology can be tuned to meet the requirements you give about shapes, sizes, rigidity, and forms.

People do tend to choose friends who are similar to them. Many behaviors spread socially. Activities in certain brain areas change when other people are around. ____36____ You can use the power of social relationships to gain healthier habits — and motivate others to do the same. ____37____ Teens are especially responsive to peer influence. At the same time, the reward system in the teen brain becomes extra sensitive. Teens are just learning to explore the social world. Understanding other people’s values and being influenced by them are important parts of socializing. A research shows that even just having another peer around can change the reward response in the brain and also the risk-taking tendencies of teenagers. Some people seem to be more easily influenced than others and more sensitive to feeling included or excluded by others. ____38____ But it’s also a time that peer influence can help teens thrive if it gets them more involved with their community or helps them learn behaviors to get along with others. It’s the quality of friendships — not quantity — that really makes the difference. Friendships you feel you want to let go of may be low quality. ____39____ High quality friendships provide understanding, support, and recognition of your self-worth. These types of friendships are more steady and satisfying. Spending time with friends can be especially helpful for people. Noticing that our behavior is influenced by other people, we can be intentional and try to focus on the people who are doing the things we want to get into ourselves. ____40____ A. Adolescence is such a risky period. B. That can affect what you choose to do. C. Peer pressure can sometimes lead to competition. D. People care about what others think across all different age groups. E. They are linked to poor academic performance and behavioral issues. F. Sharing your healthy habits could also make a real difference to others. G. The number of friends you have determines your level of social influence. 【答案】36. B 37. D 38. A 39. E 40. F 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了同龄人的力量，青少年可以利用这种社会关系的力量来养成更健康的习惯。 【36题详解】 上文“People do tend to choose friends who are similar to them. (人们确实倾向于选择与自己相似的朋友)”和“Activities in certain brain areas change when other people are around. (当其他人在身边时，某些大脑区域的活动会发生变化)”讲志趣相投的朋友在身边，你的某些大脑区域的活动会发生变化，该空应该承接上文讲发生变化后会产生什么样的结果，才能引出下文“You can use the power of social relationships to gain healthier habits — and motivate others to do the same. (你可以利用社会关系的力量来养成更健康的习惯，并激励他人也这样做)”讲人们可以选择利用此类社会关系的力量改变自己、于自己有益， B选项“这会影响你的选择。”切合语境。故选B项。 【37题详解】 由下文“Teens are especially responsive to peer influence. (青少年对同伴的影响特别敏感)”和常识可知，人敏感是因为在意别人的看法，结合下文出现了“青少年”，该空应该引出各年龄阶段都会有因在意别人看法而变得敏感的人的内容，D选项“不同年龄段的人都关心别人的想法。”切合语境。故选D项。 【38题详解】 由上文“A research shows that even just having another peer around can change the reward response in the brain and also the risk-taking tendencies of teenagers. Some people seem to be more easily influenced than others and more sensitive to feeling included or excluded by others. (一项研究表明，即使身边有另一个同伴，也会改变大脑中的奖励反应，以及青少年的冒险倾向。有些人似乎比其他人更容易受到影响，对被他人包容或排斥的感觉更敏感)”可知，青少年有冒险倾向，易受影响，对被他人包容或排斥的感觉更敏感，这都是在讲青少年时期不好的地方，A选项“青春期是一个非常危险的时期。”切合语境，与下文“But it’s also a time that peer influence can help teens thrive if it gets them more involved with their community or helps them learn behaviors to get along with others. (但如果同伴的影响能让青少年更多地参与社区或帮助他们学习与他人相处的行为，那么同伴的影响也能帮助他们茁壮成长)”讲青少年也能成为积极力量形成对比。故选A项。 【39题详解】 结合下文“High quality friendships provide understanding, support, and recognition of your self-worth. These types of friendships are more steady and satisfying. (高质量的友谊提供对自我价值的理解、支持和认可。这些类型的友谊更稳定、更令人满意)”描述了什么是高质量的友谊，可推知该空应该承接上文“Friendships you feel you want to let go of may be low quality. (你觉得想要放弃的友谊可能质量很低)”讲低质量的友谊是怎么样的，E选项“它们与学习成绩不佳和行为问题有关。”切合语境，上下文形成对比。故选E项。 【40题详解】 由上文“Spending time with friends can be especially helpful for people. Noticing that our behavior is influenced by other people, we can be intentional and try to focus on the people who are doing the things we want to get into ourselves. (与朋友共度时光对人们尤其有帮助。注意到我们的行为受到他人的影响，我们可以有意识地把注意力集中在那些正在做我们想做的事情的人身上)”可知，同龄人相处有积极作用，青少年可以通过相处交流对他人产生影响，F选项“分享你的健康习惯也会对他人产生真正的影响。”切合语境。故选F项。 第三部分 英语知识运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节：完型填空(共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项A、B、C和D中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When I first built my website 3 years ago, I had no idea what I was doing.

Actually, most locals walk past, ____57____ (overlook) them, but for many tourists from the Chinese mainland, the courts are a must-see destination. It’s because the courts offer great views of the HongKong skyline. Chinese people are good at searching ____58____ remote places to take splendid pictures, ____59____ taking a sip of coffee in a café shop nor reading a book in a book store. With 1.4 billion citizens, China is a major force to be reckoned with in the travel market. Admittedly, these Chinese travelers are not finding the out-of-way locations by chance. Many of them are ____60____ (follower) of Xiaohongshu (Little Red Book), China’s answer (相当的事物) to Instagram, ____61____ has become their travel bible. Xiaohongshu is comprehensive and it offers a lot that other platforms aren’t able to match. Hence it has been able to change the way people travel in Asia and beyond. The app’s users ____62____ (transform) seemingly unknown places rarely visited by Western tourists into hotspots so far. As witnessed in Hong Kong and Seoul, taking splendid photos is ____63____ huge part of the appeal. Besides, sometimes the locations have deeper meanings. If you happen ____64____ (pass) a most common bench at the southeastern corner of Central Park in New York and wonder ____65____ people are posing for photos, it’s because Jay Chou sat on the same bench during a 2019 vacation. 【答案】56. particularly 57. overlooking 58. for 59. neither 60. followers 61. which 62. have transformed 63. a 64. to pass 65. why 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是中国游客，尤其是受到小红书影响的年轻一代，如何通过社交媒体平台发现并前往一些相对偏远或不为西方游客所熟知的旅游地点，以拍摄令人印象深刻的照片，并且这些地点有时还具有更深层的文化或名人意义。 【56题详解】 考查副词。句意：坚尼地城游乐场位于香港西部的一个住宅区，它的篮球场并不特别引人注目。空格处用副词particularly修饰形容词noteworthy，particularly意为“特别地”。故填particularly。 【57题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：实际上，大多数当地人都会走过，俯瞰它们，但对于许多来自中国大陆的游客来说，这些球场是一个必看的目的地。句中谓语是walk，空格处用非谓语动词，most locals和overlook之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，因此用现在分词表主动，作状语，故填overlooking。 【58题详解】 考查介词。句意：中国人善于寻找偏僻的地方拍出精彩的照片，既不喜欢在咖啡馆里喝一口咖啡，也不喜欢在书店里看书。search for是固定短语，意为“寻找”，故填for。 【59题详解】 考查固定搭配。句意：中国人善于寻找偏僻的地方拍出精彩的照片，既不喜欢在咖啡馆里喝一口咖啡，也不喜欢在书店里看书。neither...nor...是固定搭配，意为“既不……也不……”，因此空格处是neither，故填neither。 【60题详解】 考查名词的复数。句意：他们中的许多人都是小红书的粉丝，小红书是中国版的Instagram，已经成为他们的旅行宝典。由Many of them are可知，空格处用名词复数形式，故填followers。 【61题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：他们中的许多人都是小红书的粉丝，小红书是中国版的Instagram，已经成为他们的旅行宝典。空格处引导的是非限制性定语从句，从句中缺少主语，先行词Xiaohongshu是物，因此用which引导定语从句，故填which。 【62题详解】 考查时态和主谓一致。句意：到目前为止，这款应用的用户已经把西方游客很少去的看似未知的地方变成了热点。由so far可知，句子时态是现在完成时，主语users是复数，因此空格处是have transformed，故填have transformed。 【63题详解】 考查冠词。句意：正如在香港和首尔看到的那样，拍摄精美的照片是吸引力的重要组成部分。part是可数名词的单数形式，表泛指，前面要加不定冠词，huge是辅音音素开头，因此不定冠词用a，故填a。 【64题详解】 考查不定式。句意：如果你碰巧经过纽约中央公园东南角的一张最常见的长凳，想知道为什么人们要摆姿势拍照，那是因为周杰伦在2019年度假时坐在同一张长凳上。happen to do sth.是固定短语，意为“碰巧做某事”，故填to pass。 【65题详解】 考查宾语从句。句意：如果你碰巧经过纽约中央公园东南角的一张最常见的长凳，想知道为什么人们要摆姿势拍照，那是因为周杰伦在2019年度假时坐在同一张长凳上。空格处引导的是表语从句，句子表示“想知道为什么人们要摆姿势拍照”，空格处意为“为什么”，用连接副词why引导宾语从句。故填why。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节 (满分15分) 66. 假定你是校学生会主席李华，你校将在5月开展“校园劳动周”(Campus Labor Week)活动。请你用英文写一封倡议信发布在学校的英文网站上，号召同学们积极参与，内容包括： 1.活动目的； 2.活动内容。 3.倡议全体同学踊跃参加。 注意： 1.写作词数应80个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear fellow students, I’m Li Hua, chairman of the Student Union. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Student Union 【答案】Dear fellow students, I’m Li Hua, chairman of the Student Union.

The shop owner replied, “For anything between $30 and $50.” The little boy reached in his pocket and pulled out some change from it. “I have $2. 37 on me,” he said in a low voice. “Can I please look at them?” The shop owner smiled and whistled. Out of the doghouse came the mother dog who ran down the passage of his shop, followed by five tiny ball of fur. One puppy was moving slowly and fell behind. In no time the little boy picked out the slow puppy and asked, “What’s wrong with that little dog?” The shop owner explained that the vet had examined the little puppy and had discovered that one of his back legs was injured. He would always walk slowly and with difficulty. He would be lame (瘸的). Hearing what the shop owner had said, the little boy became excited, “That is the little puppy I want to buy.” The shop owner said, “No, you don’t want to buy that little dog. If you really want him, I’ll just give him to you.” The little boy got quite upset. He looked straight into the shop owner’s eyes and said, “I don’t want you to give him to me. That little dog is worth every bit as much as all the other dogs and I’ll pay full price. As a matter of fact, I’ll give you $2. 37 right now, and 50 cents a month until I have him paid for.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The shop owner shook his head and declined the little boy. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All of a sudden, the little boy reached down and rolled up one leg of his pants. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The shop owner shook his head and declined the little boy. He said, “You really don’t need to buy this little dog. He is never going to be able to run, jump and play with you like the other puppies.” The little boy stood his ground, determined to pay for the limping puppy. He looked at the store owner with unwavering confidence and replied, “He may not be perfect, but that doesn’t make him any less deserving of a loving home.” All of a sudden, the little boy reached down and rolled up one leg of his pants. A badly twisted, crippled left leg supported by a big metal brace came into sight. The boy looked up at the shop owner and softly replied, “Well, I don’t run so well myself, and the little puppy will need someone who understands!” Tears sparkling in eyes, the owner handed over the lame puppy to the boy. It always feels so great to have someone who understands you and cares for you heart and soul. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了小男孩到一家卖小狗的店里买狗，却看中了一只后腿受伤走路一瘸一拐的小狗，店主说可以把狗送给他，虽然小男孩钱不够，但是他坚持要分期付款。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“店主摇了摇头，拒绝了小男孩。”可知，第一段可描写店主描述反对的原因以及小男孩说明自己坚持付钱的原因。 ②由第二段首句内容“突然，小男孩伸手卷起一条裤腿。”可知，第二段可描写小男孩展示自己腿上的残疾，店主深受感动，把狗交给小男孩。 2.续写线索：店主解释——小男孩坚持付钱并说明原因——小男孩展示残疾——店主流泪——店主把狗交给小男孩 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①购买：buy/purchase ②回答：reply/answer ③映入眼帘：come into sight/come into view 情绪类 ①流泪：tears sparkling in eyes/tears welling up in the eyes ②关心：care for/be concerned about 【点睛】[高分句型1]Tears sparkling in eyes, the owner handed over the lame puppy to the boy. （运用了独立主格结构） [高分句型2] It always feels so great to have someone who understands you and cares for you heart and soul. （由关系代词who引导定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
