Inspired by the book’s compassionate message, Peterson made a decision; He was going to go outside and introduce himself. In that first conversation, Peterson learned that the man’s name was Matt Faris. He’d moved to Southern California from Kentucky to pursue a career in music, but he soon fell on hard times and ended up living on the street for more than a decade. “I saw beauty on the face of a man who hadn’t shaved in probably a year, because his story, the life inside of him, inspired me,” Peterson recalled. Therefore, Peterson asked if he could paint Faris’s portrait. Faris agreed. Peterson’s connection with Faris led him to form Faces of Santa Ana, a nonprofit organization focused on befriending and painting portraits of members of the community who are unhoused. Peterson sells the paintings for money, splitting the proceeds and putting half into a “love account” for his model. He then helps people use the money to get back on their feet. Many of Peterson’s new friends use the donations to secure immediate necessities — medical care, hotel rooms, food. Faris used the funds from his portrait to record an album, fulfilling his musical dreams. Another subject, Kimberly Sondoval, had never been able to financially support her daughter. She asked, “Can I use the money to pay my daughter’s rent?” When the check was delivered, “They both wept in my arms,” Peterson recalls. Peterson has painted 41 of these portraits himself. But there’s more to the finished products than the money they bring to someone who’s down and out. He’s discovered that the buyers tend to connect to the story of the person in the painting, finding similarities and often friendship with someone they might have otherwise overlooked or stereotyped. “People often tell me, ‘I was the one that would cross the street, but I see homeless people differently now,’” Peterson says. “I didn’t know that would happen.” 4. What made Peterson start a conversation? A. The curiosity about strangers. B. The touching story of Matt Faris. C. The disturbance by a homeless man. D. The sympathetic message in Love Does. 5. What do we know about Faces of Santa Ana? A. It pays the homeless salaries. B. It is an official nonprofit organization. C. It tries to restore the lives of Peterson’s models. D. It spends all the money on helping the unhoused. 6. After buying a portrait, a buyer might view the homeless as ________. A. lazy and poor B. odd but inspiring C. disturbing and untidy D. pitiful but respectable 7. Which of the following is the best title of this text? A. Art with Purpose: Love Account Matters B. Hope in Paintings: Help Knows No Race C. Faces of Compassion: Painting a New Perspective D. Encounter with Strangers: Embracing New Friends 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过叙述Peterson与无家可归者Matt Faris的相遇以及后续创立Faces of Santa Ana组织的故事，展示了Peterson如何通过绘画帮助那些生活困难的人，并改变了人们对待无家可归者的态度。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“One day in the summer of 2015, Peterson was relaxing in his living room, reading the book Love Does, about the power of love in action, when his quiet was disturbed by a homeless man outside his apartment. Inspired by the book’s compassionate message, Peterson made a decision; He was going to go outside and introduce himself.(2015年夏天的一天，彼得森正在客厅里放松，读着《爱的力量》(Love Does)这本书，这本书讲述了爱在行动中的力量，这时他的安静被公寓外的一个无家可归的人打破了。受到书中富有同情心的信息的启发，彼得森做出了一个决定；他要到外面去做自我介绍)”可知，Love Does中的同情信息让彼得森开始谈话。故选D项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Peterson’s connection with Faris led him to form Faces of Santa Ana, a nonprofit organization focused on befriending and painting portraits of members of the community who are unhoused.(彼得森与法里斯的联系促使他成立了Faces of Santa Ana，这是一个非营利组织，专注于帮助无家可归的社区成员，并为他们画肖像)”可知，Faces of Santa Ana是一个非营利组织。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Peterson has painted 41 of these portraits himself. But there’s more to the finished products than the money they bring to someone who’s down and out. He’s discovered that the buyers tend to connect to the story of the person in the painting, finding similarities and often friendship with someone they might have otherwise overlooked or stereotyped.(彼得森自己画了41幅这样的肖像。但成品带给落魄之人的不仅仅是金钱。他发现，买家倾向于与画中人物的故事联系起来，找到相似之处，往往与他们可能被忽视或刻板印象的人建立友谊)”可知。在买了一幅肖像后，买家之前是忽视无家可归的人，现在会和他们建立友谊，所以会把无家可归者视为可怜但可敬的人。故选D项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“Peterson’s connect ion with Faris led him to form Faces of Santa Ana, a nonprofit organization focused on befriending and painting portraits of members of the community who are unhoused. Peterson sells the paintings for money, splitting the proceeds and putting half into a “love account” for his model. He then helps people use the money to get back on their feet.(彼得森与法里斯的联系促使他成立了Faces of Santa Ana，这是一个非营利组织，专注于帮助无家可归的社区成员，并为他们画肖像。彼得森把这些画卖掉赚钱，分成一半存入模特的“爱情账户”。然后，他帮助人们用这笔钱重新站起来)”以及纵观全文可知，本文主要讲述了Peterson如何通过绘画帮助那些生活困难的人，并改变了人们对待无家可归者的态度，所以C项“Faces of Compassion: Painting a New Perspective(同情的面孔：画一个新的视角)”是本文最好的标题。故选C项。 C The idea of two robots going on a date might sound like the start of an embarrassing Dad joke. But it has become a reality in a hilarious (非常滑稽的) new video, posted by Engineered Arts. In the video, Ameca and Azi—two humanoid robots dubbed the “most advanced in the world”—can be seen “having a chat”, while demonstrating their wide range of facial expressions. The interaction has delighted many fans, with one joking that the bots deserve their own full-length movie. “They have great chemistry; I want a movie now.” the fan commented. Ameca is described by Engineered Arts as the world’s most advanced human shaped robot. Ameca is the physical presence that brings your code to life. It is the most advanced lifelike humanoid that can be used to develop and show off your greatest machine learning interactions. This robot is the digital interface to the real world. Ameca features 27 actuators for facial control alone, and five for the neck. These allow the bot to make human-like facial expressions ranging from happiness to disgust . What’s more, Ameca has her AI conversational abilities. Now, Engineered Arts has unveiled a companion for Ameca called Azi, which has more masculine facial features. At the start of the video, Ameca has her eyes closed, while Azi stares at her, before waking her up. “What? Oh, it’s you. Why are you waking me up? It had better be important.” Azi tells Ameca that he has a surprise for her—a cookie. Initially, Ameca is confused, asking, “A cookie? But I can’t eat cookies.” However, Azi goes on to explain that rather than baked food, he means an Internet cookie. His joke is quickly denied by Ameca, who wrinkles her nose in disgust, before replying, “This is the worst joke I’ve ever heard. I’m going back to sleep, and don’t wake me up again.” “The way he angrily stares her down was so funny and creepy (令人毛骨悚然的).” one fan commented. Another added, “He looked genuinely sad as she didn’t like the joke.” And one joked, “I would have loved this show for Saturday morning cartoons!” 8. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean? A. They release more chemicals to interact. B. They have apparent mutual attraction. C. They work as a team in the movie. D. They show various facial expressions. 9. What is the third paragraph mainly about? A. Ameca’s ability to engage in virtual chats. B. Ameca’s advanced capabilities and design. C. Ameca’s highly interaction with humans. D. Ameca’s realistic integration with AI. 10. What can we infer from the dialogue between Ameca and Azi? A. Azi’s joke fell flat. B. Ameca valued Azi’s gift a lot. C. Azi was angry for being refused. D. Ameca seemed more light-hearted. 11. What can we infer from the comments of fans? A. The video lacks the emotional depth in the interaction. B. The video doesn’t fit well in classic animated shows. C. The video makes people fall in love with robots. D. The video has successfully engaged many viewers. 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道，文章主要介绍了Engineered Arts公司发布的两个机器人视频，视频中两个机器人之间的对话像真人一样，让人觉得有趣。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段划线词前“The interaction has delighted many fans, with one joking that the bots deserve their own full-length movie.(这种互动让许多粉丝感到高兴，有人开玩笑说，机器人应该有一部完整的电影。)”可知，粉丝们认为这两个机器人的互动很可爱，所以开玩笑说他们值得拥有自己的电影，因此推断划线句的意思表示这两个机器人之间有明显的相互吸引。故选B项。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Ameca is described by Engineered Arts as the world’s most advanced human shaped robot. Ameca is the physical presence that brings your code to life. It is the most advanced lifelike humanoid that can be used to develop and show off your greatest machine learning interactions. This robot is the digital interface to the real world. (Engineered Arts将Ameca描述为世界上最先进的人形机器人。Ameca是将您的代码带入生活的实体存在。它是最先进的类人机器人，可以用来开发和展示你最伟大的机器学习互动。这个机器人是现实世界的数字接口。)”可知，第三段主要介绍了Ameca的先进能力和设计。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“His joke is quickly denied by Ameca, who wrinkles her nose in disgust, before replying, “This is the worst joke I’ve ever heard. I’m going back to sleep, and don’t wake me up again.””(他的笑话很快被Ameca否认，她厌恶地皱起鼻子，然后回答说：“这是我听过的最糟糕的笑话。我要回去睡觉了，不要再叫醒我了。”)”可推断，Azi的笑话没有得到Ameca的认可，即Azi的笑话没有达到预期的效果。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““The way he angrily stares her down was so funny and creepy (令人毛骨悚然的).” one fan commented. Another added,“He looked genuinely sad as she didn’t like the joke.” And one joked, “I would have loved this show for Saturday morning cartoons!”(“一位粉丝评论道：“他生气地盯着她看的样子既有趣又令人毛骨悚然。”另一个人补充道：“他看起来真的很伤心，因为她不喜欢这个笑话。”还有人开玩笑说：“如果是周六早上的卡通片，我会喜欢这个节目的！”)”可推断，Engineered Arts公司发布的两个机器人视频，让网友们觉得有趣，因此可推断视频成功地吸引了观众。故选D项。 D Explaining the science behind memory and memory loss, as well as strategies that help people remember better is the subject of a new book co-authored by Professor and Chair of Psychology and Neuroscience Elizabeth A. Kensinger. In Why We Forget and How to Remember Better: The Science Behind Memory, Kensinger and Boston University Professor of Neurology Andrew E. Budson examine how memories exist in the short term and how they get stored for longer-term access. The book explains how memory influences our behavior without our awareness, underlining the fact that what and how we remember influences everything from our social relationships to the decisions we make on a daily basis. “When most of us talk about our memory, we are referring to our ability to bring specific past events to mind,” said Kensinger. “But memory is so much more than that, including all the ways our past experiences influence our current thoughts and behavior. Memory can be thought of as a powerful source of data that the brain can use to make sense of the present moment and to make predictions about the future.” Memory is an active and cyclical process, Kensinger said, similar to building a structure out of blocks. “As you experience an event, you’re representing different features of the event in different regions of the brain; one portion of your brain is representing the sounds, another the sights, another the emotions,” she said. “A particular region of your brain, the hippocampus, is serving as the tape that binds those blocks together, and that stores the blueprints for how to later rebuild that memory structure.” Kensinger and Budson discuss memory as a cycle because, as individuals rebuild a memory, they’re likely to update it with current information—such as, has a friend changed their appearance by growing a beard, or cutting their hair? Once updated or modified, these revised blueprints are stored again. “In this way, memory is a continually changing representation; it is not a static representation of the past,” said Kensinger. 12. What did Kensinger think of our understanding of memory? A. Accurate. B. One-sided. C. Very ambiguous. D. Completely wrong. 13. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Why we forget things. B. How we remember things. C. The importance of memory. D. The function of hippocampus. 14. What does the underlined word “static” in the last paragraph mean? A. Casual. B. Temporary. C. Not working or reflecting. D. Not moving or developing. 15. What’s the purpose of the text? A. To discuss a theory. B. To provide a solution. C. To introduce a book. D. To analyze a phenomenon. 【答案】12. B 13. B 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇书评。文章主要介绍了Elizabeth A. Kensinger和Andrew E. Budson合著的新书《我们为何遗忘以及如何更好地记忆：记忆背后的科学》的内容，详细阐述了记忆的科学原理、记忆如何影响我们的行为，以及如何通过特定策略来改善记忆力。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段““When most of us talk about our memory, we are referring to our ability to bring specific past events to mind,” said Kensinger. “But memory is so much more than that, including all the ways our past experiences influence our current thoughts and behavior. Memory can be thought of as a powerful source of data that the brain can use to make sense of the present moment and to make predictions about the future.”(“当我们大多数人谈论记忆时，我们指的是将特定过去事件回忆起来的能力，”Kensinger说，“但记忆远不止于此，它包括我们过去的经历影响当前思想和行为的所有方式。记忆可以被视为大脑的强大数据来源，用于理解当下时刻并预测未来。”)”可知，人们通常认为记忆仅是回忆特定过去事件的能力，但是Kensinger指出记忆远不止于此，还包括过去经历对当前思想和行为的影响。这表明大众对记忆的理解片面，未涵盖其全部内涵。故选B。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第四段“Memory is an active and cyclical process, Kensinger said, similar to building a structure out of blocks. “As you experience an event, you’re representing different features of the event in different regions of the brain; one portion of your brain is representing the sounds, another the sights, another the emotions,” she said. “A particular region of your brain, the hippocampus, is serving as the tape that binds those blocks together, and that stores the blueprints for how to later rebuild that memory structure.”(Kensinger指出，记忆是一个主动的循环过程，类似于用积木搭建结构。“当你经历一个事件时，你会在大脑的不同区域记录该事件的不同特征；大脑的一部分记录声音，另一部分记录视觉，还有一部分记录情感，”她说，“大脑的一个特定区域——海马体，就像胶带一样将这些‘积木’粘合在一起，并储存后来重建该记忆结构的‘蓝图’。”)”可知，第四段以“记忆是主动的循环过程”为核心，通过积木搭建的比喻，详细描述了记忆形成的机制：大脑不同区域记录事件的声音、视觉、情感等特征，海马体则将这些特征“粘合”并储存为“蓝图”。整段围绕记忆的形成过程展开。故选B。 【14题详解】 词义猜测题。根据文章划线单词所在句““In this way, memory is a continually changing representation; it is not a static representation of the past,” said Kensinger.(“从这个意义上说，记忆是一种不断变化的表征，而非对过去的static记录，”Kensinger说)”可推测，“static”与“continually changing”形成对比，强调记忆并非“静止不变的”，而是不断更新的。选项D“Not moving or developing.(不移动的或不发展的)”符合“changing”的反义逻辑，即“静态的、不变的”。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，全文围绕Elizabeth A. Kensinger和Andrew E. Budson合著的新书展开，首段点明书籍主题，中间段落介绍书中对记忆机制的研究和观点，末段引用作者论述说明记忆的循环特性。核心是介绍这本书的内容和理论。故选C。 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容,从文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 In the 1920s, Russian psychologist Bluma Zeigarnik observed a strange thing. While dining out, she was impressed by the complex orders the waiters were able to remember at one time. ____16____ This observation gave rise to the study of what would become known as the Zeigarnik Effect. The Zeigarnik Effect refers to our tendency to remember incomplete or interrupted tasks better than completed ones. At first glance the Zeigarnik Effect can seem like a handy adaptation: It’s good to remember the things we need to do, and it’s a positive thing to want to finish the things we start.____17____ First, each incomplete task your brain reminds you about takes up a bit of your attention, making it harder to concentrate on whatever you’re currently working on. Second, even if we manage to physically disconnect from work, the Zeigarnik Effect ensures that our unfinished tasks follow us home. They bring trouble to our vacations, our weekends, and even our sleep.____18____ So what can you do about it? Write your tasks down. Your brain is a terrible filing system. Instead of keeping tasks in your head, make a habit of writing them down as soon as they come to you. ____19____ Make a plan for tomorrow before you end the work day so your unfinished tasks don’t remain in your mind after-hours. Don’t forget to look back at how far you’ve come.____20____ Therefore, review your completed tasks at the end of every week to celebrate what you’ve already. A. Establish a work shutdown routine. B. Have a system for expanding your job skills. C. The problem when it comes to our productivity is two-fold. D. Yet when customers checked out, these were totally forgotten. E. We always quickly forget everything we’ve already accomplished. F. We need a way to mentally disconnect in our hours away from work. G. You have to actually complete all of your tasks to feel mental relief from it. 【答案】16. D 17. C 18. F 19. A 20. E 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了20世纪20年代，俄罗斯心理学家Bluma Zeigarnik观察到一件奇怪的事情。外出就餐时，服务员一次就能记住的复杂订单给她留下了深刻的印象。然而，当顾客结账时，这些都被完全遗忘了。这一现象称之为蔡加尼克效应。通过对这一现象的研究，说明了我们如何在下班后，在精神上得到解脱。 【16题详解】 根据空前“In the 1920s, Russian psychologist Bluma Zeigarnik observed a strange thing. While dining out, she was impressed by the complex orders the waiters were able to remember at one time. (20世纪20年代，俄罗斯心理学家Bluma Zeigarnik观察到一件奇怪的事情。外出就餐时，服务员一次就能记住的复杂订单给她留下了深刻印象。)” 可知，空前介绍心理学家Bluma Zeigarnik观察到的一个现象，故D项“然而，当顾客结账时，这些都被完全遗忘了。”符合，此空继续描写观察到的这一现象，与前文构成转折关系，故选D项。 【17题详解】 根据空前“At first glance the Zeigarnik Effect can seem like a handy adaptation: It’s good to remember the things we need to do, and it’s a positive thing to want to finish the things we start. (乍一看，蔡加尼克效应似乎是一个方便适应；记住我们需要做的事情是件好事，想要完成我们开始的事情是一件积极的事情。）”以及后文“First, each incomplete task your brain reminds you about takes up a bit of your attention, making it harder to concentrate on whatever you’re currently working on. Second, even if we manage to physically disconnect from work, the Zeigarnik Effect ensures that our unfinished tasks follow us home. (首先，你大脑提醒你的每一项未完成的任务都会占用你的一点注意力，使你更难专注于你目前正在做的事情。其次，即使我们设法从身体上脱离工作，蔡加尼克效应也会确保我们未完成的任务会跟着我们回家。)”可知，此空承上启下，故C选项“当谈到我们的生产力时，这个问题是双重的。”符合，引出后文的提到的两方面的问题，一方面，大脑提醒你为完成的任务会让你很难专注你目前的事情，另一方面，即使身体上脱离了工作，但此效应也会让未完成的任务跟着我们回家，故选C项。 【18题详解】 根据空前“They bring trouble to our vacations, our weekends, and even our sleep. (它们给我们的假期、周末甚至睡眠带来了麻烦。)”可知，前文提到蔡加尼克效应使我们未完成的任务会一直在精神上跟随我们，给我们的假期、周末甚至睡眠带来了麻烦，故F项“我们需要一种方法，在下班后的时间里，在精神上断开联系。”符合，因为这些未完成的任务在精神上跟着我们，给我们的假期、周末甚至睡眠带来了麻烦，因此我们需要一种方法，在下班后的时间里，在精神上断开联系，故选F项。 【19题详解】 根据空后“Make a plan for tomorrow before you end the work day so your unfinished tasks don’t remain in your mind after-hours. . (在你结束一天的工作之前，为明天制定一个计划，这样你的未完成任务就不会在下班后留在你的脑海中。)”可知，空后提到制定第二天的计划，使自己精神上不被未完成的任务影响，故A选项“建立停工程序。”符合，提到建立停工程序即设定计划。故选A项。 【20题详解】 根据空后“Therefore, review your completed tasks at the end of every week to celebrate what you’ve already. (因此，在每周末回顾一下你完成的任务，以庆祝你已经完成的任务。)”可知，此空与空后为因果关系，故E选项“我们总是很快就忘记了我们已经完成所有事情。”符合，与空后构成因果关系，我们总是很快就忘记了我们已经完成所有事情，因此我们需要每周回顾一下你完成的任务，以庆祝你已经完成的任务，故选E项。 第三部分 语言知识运用(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,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑. When I was 19, I was in a really bad car accident. I woke up with a severe ____21____ injury and I learned that my IQ had dropped. Worse still, I had to ____22____ from college, and people said to me, “You’re not going to finish college. There are other things for you to do, but that’s not going to work out for you.” I had identified with being smart, and had been called ____23____ as a child. Having my ____24____ taken from me, I felt entirely ____25____. I worked and worked, and ____26____ graduated from college, which took me four years longer than others.

As children of the lab scientists, Mary and Tom often observed the emperor penguins that were studied to understand how they adapted to extreme temperatures —insights that could aid human survival. “We’re thirteen, Tom. It’s time to grow up and stop playing with the lab penguins,” said Mary as she started cleaning. “They’re research animals, not pets.” “But the birds listen to me.” insisted Tom, his breath forming a cloud in the freezing air. “You’re just trying to be a penguin whisperer again,” Mary replied, shaking her head with a gentle smile. The penguins seemed playful as they walked, dove, swam and chased their live fish for sport before eating. Suddenly , an alarm rang out and red lights flashed , signaling a problem. The kids rushed over to look into it. “It’s colder than before —there’s ice forming on the water,” noted Tom. Though always cold, Mary had never seen ice here before. She checked the habitat monitor and found that the temperature had gone down a lot. “The heater must be broken!” Mary quickly sent a message to their parents’ research team, who were conducting outdoor studies. With the adults away, the kids would have to deal with the freezing conditions until help arrived. Time dragged as Mary and Tom anxiously waited. The increasing cold caused them to shake. “I wonder what emperor penguins do in extreme cold, since they stay in the Pole all winter instead of going somewhere warmer,” asked Mary. “They huddle (挤作一团), ” Tom answered. “They huddle together tightly so that the birds in the middle will be warm enough.” “What about the ones on the edge?” Mary asked. “They push their way towards the center, and then move back out to the edge, and struggle back again. Scientists in the early 21st century recorded it.” He replied as he stared at the large crowd of the penguins in the lab. 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。 ”I have an idea to stay warm1" Tom shouted excitedly. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Two and a half hours later , the parents returned with help. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】“I have an idea to stay warm!” Tom shouted excitedly. Spreading his arms, he suggested joining the penguin huddles. Worried that the penguins wouldn’t let them, Mary hesitated but was soon persuaded by Tom’s assuring grin. He slowly approached the crowded penguins, crouching down. Gently stroking them with care, he whispered softly. Though startled at first, the penguins recognized Tom and let him into their group. Mary quickly followed. The children squeezed into the huddle’s edge with the penguins. Just as the birds did, they moved toward the middle and back out as the group shifted. Two and a half hours later, the parents returned with help. Rushing in calling for the kids, they were surprised. The children were safely surrounded by Emperors in a large bundle. When asked how they stayed warm, the kids looked at each other proudly. “We used what the Emperor Penguins do,” they told their parents. Mary patted Tom’s shoulder with admiration, calling him a penguin whisperer. With a big smile, Tom gave credit to the penguins who taught them a lot. Their teamwork had seen them through the difficult cold with the penguins’ aid. 【解析】 【导语】本文以动物为线索展开，讲述了一个关于爱护动物以及通过学习帝企鹅的保暖方式度过严寒的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我有一个保暖的主意!”Tom兴奋地喊道。”以及第二段首句内容“两个半小时后，父母带着救援人员回来了。”可知，第一段可描写Tom想到可以向帝企鹅学习度过严寒。 ②由第二段首句内容“两个半小时后，父母带着救援人员回来了。”可知，第二段可描写父母惊讶地发现孩子们和帝企鹅团在一起从而保持温暖活了下来。 2.续写线索：Tom和Mary一起在南极企鹅研究实验室观察帝企鹅——他们从小就研究帝企鹅，非常熟悉这些动物——突然Mary发现实验室的加热器坏了——Mary向父母求救，但是父母在户外进行研究——实验室越来越冷，孩子们开始想办法保暖——Tom突然想起帝企鹅在严寒中是如何保暖的——于是，两个孩子加入了实验室的企鹅群，和企鹅们团在了一起——父母回来后，惊讶地发现帝企鹅正围着孩子们，孩子也安然无恙 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①建议：suggest/advise ②靠近：approach/come close to ③称赞：give credit to/praise 情绪类 ①担忧的：worried/concerned/anxious ②惊讶的：surprised/amazed/astonished 【点睛】【高分句型1】When asked how they stayed warm, the kids looked at each other proudly.（运用了how引导的宾语从句） 【高分句型2】With a big smile, Tom gave credit to the penguins who taught them a lot.（运用了who引导的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高二英语 第I卷 (共95分) 第一部分 听力 (共两节，满分30分) 做题时,先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节 (共5小题;每小题1.5分，共7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题,从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

B It all started with a simple question: “Can I paint your portrait?” One day in the summer of 2015, Peterson was relaxing in his living room, reading the book Love Does, about the power of love in action, when his quiet was disturbed by a homeless man outside his apartment. Inspired by the book’s compassionate message, Peterson made a decision; He was going to go outside and introduce himself. In that first conversation, Peterson learned that the man’s name was Matt Faris. He’d moved to Southern California from Kentucky to pursue a career in music, but he soon fell on hard times and ended up living on the street for more than a decade. “I saw beauty on the face of a man who hadn’t shaved in probably a year, because his story, the life inside of him, inspired me,” Peterson recalled. Therefore, Peterson asked if he could paint Faris’s portrait. Faris agreed. Peterson’s connection with Faris led him to form Faces of Santa Ana, a nonprofit organization focused on befriending and painting portraits of members of the community who are unhoused. Peterson sells the paintings for money, splitting the proceeds and putting half into a “love account” for his model. He then helps people use the money to get back on their feet. Many of Peterson’s new friends use the donations to secure immediate necessities — medical care, hotel rooms, food. Faris used the funds from his portrait to record an album, fulfilling his musical dreams. Another subject, Kimberly Sondoval, had never been able to financially support her daughter. She asked, “Can I use the money to pay my daughter’s rent?” When the check was delivered, “They both wept in my arms,” Peterson recalls. Peterson has painted 41 of these portraits himself. But there’s more to the finished products than the money they bring to someone who’s down and out. He’s discovered that the buyers tend to connect to the story of the person in the painting, finding similarities and often friendship with someone they might have otherwise overlooked or stereotyped. “People often tell me ‘I was the one that would cross the street, but I see homeless people differently now,’” Peterson says. “I didn’t know that would happen.” 4 What made Peterson start a conversation? A. The curiosity about strangers. B. The touching story of Matt Faris. C. The disturbance by a homeless man. D. The sympathetic message in Love Does. 5. What do we know about Faces of Santa Ana? A. It pays the homeless salaries. B. It is an official nonprofit organization. C. It tries to restore the lives of Peterson’s models. D. It spends all the money on helping the unhoused. 6. After buying a portrait, a buyer might view the homeless as ________. A. lazy and poor B. odd but inspiring C. disturbing and untidy D. pitiful but respectable 7. Which of the following is the best title of this text? A. Art with Purpose: Love Account Matters B. Hope in Paintings: Help Knows No Race C. Faces of Compassion: Painting a New Perspective D. Encounter with Strangers: Embracing New Friends C The idea of two robots going on a date might sound like the start of an embarrassing Dad joke. But it has become a reality in a hilarious (非常滑稽的) new video, posted by Engineered Arts. In the video, Ameca and Azi—two humanoid robots dubbed the “most advanced in the world”—can be seen “having a chat”, while demonstrating their wide range of facial expressions. The interaction has delighted many fans, with one joking that the bots deserve their own full-length movie. “They have great chemistry; I want a movie now.” the fan commented. Ameca is described by Engineered Arts as the world’s most advanced human shaped robot. Ameca is the physical presence that brings your code to life. It is the most advanced lifelike humanoid that can be used to develop and show off your greatest machine learning interactions. This robot is the digital interface to the real world. Ameca features 27 actuators for facial control alone, and five for the neck. These allow the bot to make human-like facial expressions ranging from happiness to disgust . What’s more, Ameca has her AI conversational abilities. Now, Engineered Arts has unveiled a companion for Ameca called Azi, which has more masculine facial features.

D Explaining the science behind memory and memory loss, as well as strategies that help people remember better is the subject of a new book co-authored by Professor and Chair of Psychology and Neuroscience Elizabeth A. Kensinger. In Why We Forget and How to Remember Better: The Science Behind Memory, Kensinger and Boston University Professor of Neurology Andrew E. Budson examine how memories exist in the short term and how they get stored for longer-term access. The book explains how memory influences our behavior without our awareness, underlining the fact that what and how we remember influences everything from our social relationships to the decisions we make on a daily basis. “When most of us talk about our memory, we are referring to our ability to bring specific past events to mind,” said Kensinger. “But memory is so much more than that, including all the ways our past experiences influence our current thoughts and behavior. Memory can be thought of as a powerful source of data that the brain can use to make sense of the present moment and to make predictions about the future.” Memory is an active and cyclical process, Kensinger said, similar to building a structure out of blocks. “As you experience an event, you’re representing different features of the event in different regions of the brain; one portion of your brain is representing the sounds, another the sights, another the emotions,” she said. “A particular region of your brain, the hippocampus, is serving as the tape that binds those blocks together, and that stores the blueprints for how to later rebuild that memory structure.” Kensinger and Budson discuss memory as a cycle because, as individuals rebuild a memory, they’re likely to update it with current information—such as, has a friend changed their appearance by growing a beard, or cutting their hair? Once updated or modified, these revised blueprints are stored again. “In this way, memory is a continually changing representation; it is not a static representation of the past,” said Kensinger. 12. What did Kensinger think of our understanding of memory? A. Accurate. B. One-sided. C. Very ambiguous. D. Completely wrong. 13. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Why we forget things. B. How we remember things. C. The importance of memory. D. The function of hippocampus. 14. What does the underlined word “static” in the last paragraph mean? A. Casual. B. Temporary. C. Not working or reflecting. D. Not moving or developing. 15. What’s the purpose of the text? A. To discuss a theory. B. To provide a solution. C. To introduce a book. D To analyze a phenomenon. 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容,从文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 In the 1920s, Russian psychologist Bluma Zeigarnik observed a strange thing. While dining out, she was impressed by the complex orders the waiters were able to remember at one time. ____16____ This observation gave rise to the study of what would become known as the Zeigarnik Effect. The Zeigarnik Effect refers to our tendency to remember incomplete or interrupted tasks better than completed ones. At first glance the Zeigarnik Effect can seem like a handy adaptation: It’s good to remember the things we need to do, and it’s a positive thing to want to finish the things we start.____17____ First, each incomplete task your brain reminds you about takes up a bit of your attention, making it harder to concentrate on whatever you’re currently working on. Second, even if we manage to physically disconnect from work, the Zeigarnik Effect ensures that our unfinished tasks follow us home. They bring trouble to our vacations, our weekends, and even our sleep.____18____ So what can you do about it? Write your tasks down. Your brain is a terrible filing system. Instead of keeping tasks in your head, make a habit of writing them down as soon as they come to you. ____19____ Make a plan for tomorrow before you end the work day so your unfinished tasks don’t remain in your mind after-hours. Don’t forget to look back at how far you’ve come.____20____ Therefore, review your completed tasks at the end of every week to celebrate what you’ve already. A. Establish a work shutdown routine. B. Have a system for expanding your job skills. C. The problem when it comes to our productivity is two-fold. D. Yet when customers checked out, these were totally forgotten. E. We always quickly forget everything we’ve already accomplished. F. We need a way to mentally disconnect in our hours away from work. G. You have to actually complete all of your tasks to feel mental relief from it. 第三部分 语言知识运用(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,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑.

As children of the lab scientists, Mary and Tom often observed the emperor penguins that were studied to understand how they adapted to extreme temperatures —insights that could aid human survival. “We’re thirteen, Tom. It’s time to grow up and stop playing with the lab penguins,” said Mary as she started cleaning. “They’re research animals, not pets.” “But the birds listen to me.” insisted Tom, his breath forming a cloud in the freezing air. “You’re just trying to be a penguin whisperer again,” Mary replied, shaking her head with a gentle smile. The penguins seemed playful as they walked, dove, swam and chased their live fish for sport before eating. Suddenly , an alarm rang out and red lights flashed , signaling a problem. The kids rushed over to look into it. “It’s colder than before —there’s ice forming on the water,” noted Tom. Though always cold, Mary had never seen ice here before. She checked the habitat monitor and found that the temperature had gone down a lot. “The heater must be broken!” Mary quickly sent a message to their parents’ research team, who were conducting outdoor studies. With the adults away, the kids would have to deal with the freezing conditions until help arrived. Time dragged as Mary and Tom anxiously waited. The increasing cold caused them to shake. “I wonder what emperor penguins do in extreme cold, since they stay in the Pole all winter instead of going somewhere warmer,” asked Mary. “They huddle (挤作一团), ” Tom answered. “They huddle together tightly so that the birds in the middle will be warm enough.” “What about the ones on the edge?” Mary asked. “They push their way towards the center, and then move back out to the edge, and struggle back again. Scientists in the early 21st century recorded it.” He replied as he stared at the large crowd of the penguins in the lab. 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。 ”I have an idea to stay warm1" Tom shouted excitedly. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Two and a half hours later , the parents returned with help. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
