She paid me very little for my work, because she didn’t have much money. She did, however, promise to give me a Christmas present. The girls I played with had baseball gloves, bicycles and ice skates, and I was so eager to acquire any one of these. On Christmas morning, Mrs. White gave me a little package which could hardly hold anything. I was painfully disappointed but she told me it was a kind of magic. My disappointment turned into curiosity. With great excitement I opened the package, only to find a pile of ten sheets of black paper inside, each labeled in colorful letters, Carbon Paper Regal Premium. I didn’t know what it was. “Is it magic?” I asked. My Aunt Karen, who was a school teacher, answered, “It really is!” She took two pieces of white paper and placed between them one of the black sheets from the box. Then, with a hard pencil, she wrote my name on the upper sheet. Removing it and the Carbon Paper Regal Premium, she handed me the second sheet, which her pencil had in no way touched. There was my name! I was enthralled. I wrote and wrote, using up whole tablets until the last piece of black paper was used up. It was a game I didn’t want to end. I was very happy with my special gift. I can honestly say that, in that one moment, I understood as much about printing, copying words and the mystery of spreading ideas as I have learned in the remaining half-century of my life. I hope that this year some boys and girls will receive, from thoughtful adults who really love them, gifts that will shock them. It is such gifts and such experiences — usually costing little or nothing — that transform a life and lend it a motivation that may continue for decades. 4. Why did Mrs. White promise to give the girl a Christmas present? A. She wanted to meet the child’s wish. B. She rewarded the girl for her good work. C. She gave gifts to every child in the town. D. She wanted to make up for the low salary. 5. What do we know about Carbon Paper Regal Premium? A. It is used in school teaching. B. It is made by special magicians. C. It usually consists of colorful paper. D. It can copy something written on paper. 6. What does the underlined sentence “I was enthralled.” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. I was addicted to Carbon Paper Regal Premium. B. I was curious about Carbon Paper Regal Premium. C. I was confused about Carbon Paper Regal Premium. D. I was shocked there was a name on the second sheet. 7. What message does the author seem to convey in the text? A. Children should work for others to get a gift. B. A gift with long-term effects is a better choice. C. Children need to receive a gift that they want. D. Carbon Paper Regal Premium is a perfect gift. 【答案】4. D 5. D 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者八岁时得到了怀特太太送的复写纸作为礼物，作者对这种东西非常着迷，并从中学到了印刷、复制文字和传播思想的奥秘。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“She paid me very little for my work, because she didn’t have much money. She did, however, promise to give me a Christmas present.(她给我的工资很少，因为她没有多少钱。然而，她答应给我一份圣诞礼物)”可知，怀特太太答应给那个女孩一份圣诞礼物是因为她想弥补低工资。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“She took two pieces of white paper and placed between them one of the black sheets from the box. Then, with a hard pencil, she wrote my name on the upper sheet. Removing it and the Carbon Paper Regal Premium, she handed me the second sheet, which her pencil had in no way touched. There was my name!(她拿起两张白纸，从盒子里拿出一张黑布放在它们中间。然后，她用一支硬铅笔把我的名字写在上面那张纸上。她取下那张纸和那张皇家高级复写纸，递给我第二张纸，她的铅笔根本没碰过那张纸。上面却有我的名字！)”可知，Carbon Paper Regal Premium可以复制写在纸上的东西。故选D。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“I wrote and wrote, using up whole tablets until the last piece of black paper was used up. It was a game I didn’t want to end.(我写啊写，把整张纸都用完了，直到最后一张黑纸都用完了)”可知，作者一直把Carbon Paper Regal Premium都写完了，说明作者对Carbon Paper Regal Premium着迷了。故划线句意思是“我对Carbon Paper Regal Premium着迷了”。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“It is such gifts and such experiences — usually costing little or nothing — that transform a life and lend it a motivation that may continue for decades.(正是这样的礼物和经历——通常花费很少或根本不花——改变了一个人的生活，并赋予它一种可能持续几十年的动力)”可推知，作者想要表达的信息是：有长期效果的礼物是更好的选择。故选B。 C The green, natural forest absorbs carbon dioxide from the air through photo- synthesis (光合作用). There is another way of dealing with the climate crisis. That is setting up fields of dark-colored solar panels (太阳能电池板), also known as “solar forests”, which replace power stations that use fossil fuels such as coal and gas to make electricity, thus mitigating harmful emissions (排放) of greenhouse gases. But since they are both relatively dark, they absorb a lot of solar radiation. Some of the energy is used for photosynthesis in natural forests or to produce electricity in “solar forests”, but most returns to the atmosphere, heating it up. Then what would be the more effective land use option in terms of the climate crisis: planting a forest, or building solar panels? This issue has long been debated by decision-makers around the world. Now, we may have an answer, thanks to a new study. First, the researchers compared the impact of a forest on the climate crisis in a dry area to that of a solar farm in a similar environment. The researchers found that the albedo effect (反射效应) of both of these “forests” was similar, but that the absorption or prevention of carbon emissions was very different. It turns out that it takes 2.5 years for the heat emitted by solar farms to be balanced by the carbon emissions that are avoided, thanks to the energy they produce. In the case of a natural forest of similar size, it would take more than 100 years of photosynthesis to balance its heating effect. The researchers also studied how the heating-cooling relationship changed in other climates and found that in more humid environments, the heating effect of planting large numbers of trees is smaller. And the break-even point is reached within 15 to 18 years. “In dry places, building solar forests seems far more effective in addressing the climate crisis. Meanwhile, forests absorb about a third of annual carbon emissions and play a vital role in the global rain cycle, in maintaining biodiversity and in many other environmental and social contexts. Preventing them from being cut down and planting more trees in humid areas are of great significance,” explains one of the researchers in the study. 8. What does the underlined word “mitigating” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Releasing. B. Decreasing. C. Generating. D. Stabilizing. 9. What is the root cause of the long-running debate over the two types of forests? A. They cause much damage to the land. B. They result in a serious loss of farmland. C. They contribute to the warming of the atmosphere. D. They lose energy during the absorption of solar radiation. 10. What did the researchers find in the study conducted in the dry environment? A. The natural forest exhibits a stronger albedo effect. B. The solar forest can generate more energy in dry areas. C. The solar forest is superior in balancing the heating effect. D. The natural forest is more effective in solving the climate crisis. 11. What can be concluded from the last paragraph? A. More trees should be planted in dry regions. B. More methods should be adopted to address the climate crisis. C. Fields of solar panels should be set up everywhere on the earth. D. Building solar panels and planting trees should be effectively combined. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了建立深色太阳能电池板，来取代使用煤和天然气等化石燃料发电的发电站，从而减少有害的温室气体排放。 【8题详解】 词义猜测题。划线词前文提到“That is setting up fields of dark-colored solar panels, also known as “solar forests", which replace power stations that use fossil fuels such as coal and gas to make electricity”（这就是建立深色太阳能电池板，也被称为“太阳能森林”，取代使用煤和天然气等化石燃料发电的发电站）说明采用深色的太阳能电池板，就可以取代煤和天然气等化石燃料，那么使用无污染的太阳能就可以减少化石燃料排放的温室气体。A. Releasing.释放；B. Decreasing.减少；C. Generating.产生；D. Stabilizing.稳定。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。第二段第二句提到“Some of the energy is used for photosynthesis in natural forests or to produce electricity in “solar forests”, but most returns to the atmosphere, heating it up.”（部分能量在天然森林中用于光合作用或在“太阳能森林”中用于发电，但大部分能量返回大气，使其升温。）由此判断，两种森林都会造成温度的升高，因此才会引起对这两种森林的争论。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。第三段提到研究人员比较了干旱地区森林对气候危机的影响与类似环境下太阳能农场的影响。“It turns out that it takes 2.5 years for the heat emitted by solar farms to be balanced by the carbon emissions that are avoided, thanks to the energy they produce. In the case of a natural forest of similar size, it would take more than 100 years of photosynthesis to balance its heating effect.”（事实证明，太阳能发电场释放的热量需要2.5年的时间才能与它们产生的能量所避免的碳排放相平衡。以同样大小的天然森林为例，它需要100多年的光合作用来平衡它的加热效应。）由此判断，在干燥地区，太阳能森林只需要2.5年就能与它们产生的能量所避免的碳排放相平衡，而天然森林则需要100多年，说明太阳能森林在平衡热效应方面更胜一筹。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。最后一段提到“In dry places, building solar forests seems far more effective in addressing the climate crisis. Meanwhile, forests absorb about a third of annual carbon emissions and play a vital role in the global rain cycle, in maintaining biodiversity and in many other environmental and social contexts. Preventing them from being cut down and planting more trees in humid areas are of great significance”（在干旱地区，建造太阳能森林似乎在解决气候危机方面更有效。与此同时，森林吸收了每年约三分之一的碳排放量，在全球降雨循环、维持生物多样性以及许多其他环境和社会背景中发挥着至关重要的作用。防止它们被砍伐，在潮湿地区种植更多的树木具有重要意义）由此判断，在不同环境区域，太阳能森林和天然森林能发挥的功能、作用和优势也不同，因此两种森林有效结合起来就可以发挥出最大的效果。故选D。 D As you shop online, you may be drawn to digital ads with curvy(圆角)designs without even realizing it. According to a new study from the University of South Florida, consumers click on curvy call-to-action buttons, such as “Shop Now” or “Add to Cart”, at a significantly higher rate than those with sharp angles. “It’s actually rooted in natural instincts(本能),” says Dipayan Biswas, professor of marketing. “According to research from different disciplines, our natural instincts send us signals that sharp angles usually indicate danger and that we’re more likely to get hurt. In contrast, curvy designs are perceived as friendlier and more approachable.” This feeling leads people to subconsciously prefer things including digital ad designs, which are soft-edged and curvy. As published in the Journal of Consumer Research, Biswas tested this concept through click rates and eye movement studies in the Muma College of Business Customer Experience Lab. The novel findings reveal how the shapes of virtual elements can subconsciously influence click-through rates. “We studied a hotel search button and we consistently found the click rate was higher when the elements were curved,” Biswas says. “It translated to an increase of nearly 15percent in total revenue(收入).” According to Biswas, this means companies can potentially manipulate consumers as they will unconsciously click and spend more through the use of curved call-to-action buttons. For companies that put little thought or reasoning behind their design element choices, this study could be eye-opening for them. For shoppers, this means when they’re surfing the web around a holiday shopping season, they are subject to the marketing practice, such as design elements, which can lead to more unplanned purchases. Biswas encourages online shoppers to set a budget to balance such digital influence. “Having a budget will give you a benchmark to keep things more conscious-oriented and you’re less likely to be influenced by variables like these.” 12. Why do people tend to click curvy buttons when shopping online? A. They make shopping convenient. B. They give us a sense of security. C. They often mean trade discounts. D. They offer various easy options. 13. Which is closest in meaning to “manipulate” in paragraph 4? A. Respect. B. Block. C. Track. D. Affect. 14. What do we know about curvy designs? A. They have been used by all businesses. B. They stop us making decisions quickly. C. They are a powerful tool for companies. D. They enable websites to function well. 15. What does Biswas probably suggest readers do? A. Be reasonable consumers. B. Frequent physical stores. C. Become aware of their right. D. Avoid surfing the Internet. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。实践和研究显示，人们网购时下意识更倾向点击圆角矩形按钮(如“立即购买”、“加入购物车”等)，而非直角矩形按钮。这带来不少商机，也提醒我们理性消费。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“our natural instincts send us signals that sharp angles usually indicate danger and that we’re more likely to get hurt. In contrast, curvy designs are perceived as friendlier and more approachable.”（我们的本能告诉我们，尖锐的角度通常意味着危险，我们更可能受到伤害。相反，圆角设计被认为更友好、更可接近。）可知，人们更倾向于点击圆角矩形按钮是因为它们给我们一种安全感。故选B。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第四段“as they will unconsciously click and spend more through the use of curved call-to-action buttons.”（因为他们会无意识地点击，并通过使用圆角的行动呼吁按钮花更多的钱。）可知，这意味着公司有可能影响消费者。故划线词的意思是“影响”。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“this means companies can potentially manipulate consumers as they will unconsciously click and spend more through the use of curved call-to-action buttons.”（这意味着公司可以通过使用圆角的行动呼吁按钮，潜在地影响消费者，使他们无意识地点击并花费更多。）以及“For companies that put little thought or reasoning behind their design element choices, this study could be eye-opening for them.”（对于那些在设计元素选择上缺乏思考或推理的公司来说，这项研究可能会让他们大开眼界。）可知，圆角矩形按钮设计对于公司来说是一种强大的工具。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Biswas encourages online shoppers to set a budget to balance such digital influence.“Having a budget will give you a benchmark to keep things more conscious-oriented and you’re less likely to be influenced by variables like these.””（Biswas鼓励在线购物者设定预算以平衡这种数字影响。“有预算会给你一个基准，让你更有意识地购物，你就不太可能受到这些变量的影响。”）可知，Biswas建议读者成为理性的消费者。故选A。 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 New academicians take a group photo after the certificate awarding ceremony at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. ____16____ They aimed to make greater contributions to the development of the nation’s scientific research by encouraging the young generation and promoting the role of female scientists.

It means “to do a good deed”. According to my grandmother, it also had another meaning. This was the one she was always pointing out to me because she noticed how shy I was about letting people do things for me. “Linda, it’s a blessing to do a mitzvah for someone else, but sometimes it’s a blessing to let another person do something for you.” Three weeks later, on the night of taking my final exam, the snow was falling steadily for hours. Pride would not let me knock on a door and say, “It’s a 10-minute ride by car but a long wait for the bus, and it’s a 30-minute bus ride, so could you possibly give me a lift to school?” So I trudged (艰难地走) to the bus stop. For an hour, I prayed desperately that a bus would come. Then I gave up. The wind at my back pushed me toward home and I seemed to hear Grandma’s whisper: Ask someone for a lift! It could be a mitzvah. That idea had never really made sense to me. And even if I wanted to ask someone for a good deed, there wasn’t a soul on the street. But as I pushed the door of my apartment building open, I found myself face to face with a woman at the mailbox. In that split second, desperation overcame pride, “Could you possibly give me a lift?” I hurriedly said, feeling quite awkward and uncomfortable, “I never ask anybody for a lift, but...” An odd look crossed the woman’s face, and I added, “Oh! I live in Room 401. I moved in recently!” 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。 Then, without hesitation, she said, “Of course.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Back home, I happened to know Grandma Alice was Mrs. Green! ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Then, without hesitation, she said, “Of course.” We walked to her car, and she started chatting with me, easing my awkwardness and discomfort. As we got in, she turned on the heat to warm us up. I unwound the scarf and Grandma’s smile suddenly sprang into my mind as if she were praising me for letting another person do something for me. I murmured, “you remind me of my grandmother”, with tears blurring my eyes. With a slight smile touching the corners of her mouth, she said, “Just call me Grandma Alice.” When she dropped me off, I stood there waving her goodbye. My final exam was a breeze compared with the difficulties I’d gone through. Back home, I happened to know Grandma Alice was Mrs. Green! I froze in surprise, realizing what a big mistake I made. Grandma Alice was the very person who needed to get a ride but I went so far as to ask her to give me a lift to school. At the thought of her kindness, I was weighed down by guilt. I knocked on her door to express my heartfelt gratitude. As I entered her apartment, Mrs. Green embraced me and thanked me for giving her the opportunity to fulfill a “mitzvah”. At that moment, I began to understand that a mitzvah was not just about doing a good deed for someone else, but also about allowing others to do something for you, in which way people can experience the joy and fulfillment that come from both offering and receiving help. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者搬到了一个新公寓，公寓里的格林夫人得了癌症需要被人送去化疗，结果作者没有车不能报名。但是作者意外得到了格林夫人的帮助，开始明白成年礼不仅仅是为别人做一件好事，也是让别人为你做一些事情，这样人们就可以体验到提供和接受帮助所带来的快乐和满足。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然后，她毫不犹豫地说：‘当然。’”可知，第一段可描写作者搭车的经过以及两人的交谈内容。 ②由第二段首句内容“回到家，我碰巧知道爱丽丝奶奶是格林夫人！”可知，第二段可描写作者得知对方身份后的反应以及感悟。 2.续写线索：搭车——愉快交谈——得知真实身份——惊讶——表达感谢——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①意识到：realize/be aware ②缓解：ease/relieve ③拥抱：embrace/hug 情绪类 ①不安：discomfort /uneasiness ②快乐：joy /happiness 【点睛】[高分句型1] We walked to her car, and she started chatting with me, easing my awkwardness and discomfort.

B When I was a girl of eight, living in a town, I used to work for Mrs. White, an elderly lady. She paid me very little for my work, because she didn’t have much money. She did, however, promise to give me a Christmas present. The girls I played with had baseball gloves, bicycles and ice skates, and I was so eager to acquire any one of these. On Christmas morning, Mrs. White gave me a little package which could hardly hold anything. I was painfully disappointed but she told me it was a kind of magic. My disappointment turned into curiosity. With great excitement I opened the package, only to find a pile of ten sheets of black paper inside, each labeled in colorful letters, Carbon Paper Regal Premium. I didn’t know what it was. “Is it magic?” I asked. My Aunt Karen, who was a school teacher, answered, “It really is!” She took two pieces of white paper and placed between them one of the black sheets from the box. Then, with a hard pencil, she wrote my name on the upper sheet. Removing it and the Carbon Paper Regal Premium, she handed me the second sheet, which her pencil had in no way touched. There was my name! I was enthralled. I wrote and wrote, using up whole tablets until the last piece of black paper was used up. It was a game I didn’t want to end. I was very happy with my special gift. I can honestly say that, in that one moment, I understood as much about printing, copying words and the mystery of spreading ideas as I have learned in the remaining half-century of my life. I hope that this year some boys and girls will receive, from thoughtful adults who really love them, gifts that will shock them. It is such gifts and such experiences — usually costing little or nothing — that transform a life and lend it a motivation that may continue for decades. 4. Why did Mrs. White promise to give the girl a Christmas present? A. She wanted to meet the child’s wish. B. She rewarded the girl for her good work. C. She gave gifts to every child in the town. D. She wanted to make up for the low salary. 5. What do we know about Carbon Paper Regal Premium? A. It is used in school teaching. B. It is made by special magicians. C. It usually consists of colorful paper. D. It can copy something written on paper. 6. What does the underlined sentence “I was enthralled.” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. I was addicted to Carbon Paper Regal Premium. B. I was curious about Carbon Paper Regal Premium. C. I was confused about Carbon Paper Regal Premium. D. I was shocked there was a name on the second sheet. 7 What message does the author seem to convey in the text? A. Children should work for others to get a gift. B. A gift with long-term effects is a better choice. C. Children need to receive a gift that they want. D. Carbon Paper Regal Premium is a perfect gift. C The green, natural forest absorbs carbon dioxide from the air through photo- synthesis (光合作用). There is another way of dealing with the climate crisis. That is setting up fields of dark-colored solar panels (太阳能电池板), also known as “solar forests”, which replace power stations that use fossil fuels such as coal and gas to make electricity, thus mitigating harmful emissions (排放) of greenhouse gases. But since they are both relatively dark, they absorb a lot of solar radiation. Some of the energy is used for photosynthesis in natural forests or to produce electricity in “solar forests”, but most returns to the atmosphere, heating it up. Then what would be the more effective land use option in terms of the climate crisis: planting a forest, or building solar panels? This issue has long been debated by decision-makers around the world. Now, we may have an answer, thanks to a new study. First, the researchers compared the impact of a forest on the climate crisis in a dry area to that of a solar farm in a similar environment. The researchers found that the albedo effect (反射效应) of both of these “forests” was similar, but that the absorption or prevention of carbon emissions was very different. It turns out that it takes 2.5 years for the heat emitted by solar farms to be balanced by the carbon emissions that are avoided, thanks to the energy they produce. In the case of a natural forest of similar size, it would take more than 100 years of photosynthesis to balance its heating effect. The researchers also studied how the heating-cooling relationship changed in other climates and found that in more humid environments, the heating effect of planting large numbers of trees is smaller. And the break-even point is reached within 15 to 18 years. “In dry places, building solar forests seems far more effective in addressing the climate crisis. Meanwhile, forests absorb about a third of annual carbon emissions and play a vital role in the global rain cycle, in maintaining biodiversity and in many other environmental and social contexts. Preventing them from being cut down and planting more trees in humid areas are of great significance,” explains one of the researchers in the study. 8. What does the underlined word “mitigating” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A Releasing. B. Decreasing. C. Generating. D. Stabilizing. 9. What is the root cause of the long-running debate over the two types of forests? A. They cause much damage to the land. B. They result in a serious loss of farmland. C. They contribute to the warming of the atmosphere. D. They lose energy during the absorption of solar radiation. 10. What did the researchers find in the study conducted in the dry environment? A. The natural forest exhibits a stronger albedo effect. B. The solar forest can generate more energy in dry areas. C. The solar forest is superior in balancing the heating effect. D. The natural forest is more effective in solving the climate crisis. 11. What can be concluded from the last paragraph? A. More trees should be planted in dry regions. B. More methods should be adopted to address the climate crisis. C. Fields of solar panels should be set up everywhere on the earth. D. Building solar panels and planting trees should be effectively combined. D As you shop online, you may be drawn to digital ads with curvy(圆角)designs without even realizing it. According to a new study from the University of South Florida, consumers click on curvy call-to-action buttons, such as “Shop Now” or “Add to Cart”, at a significantly higher rate than those with sharp angles. “It’s actually rooted in natural instincts(本能),” says Dipayan Biswas, professor of marketing. “According to research from different disciplines, our natural instincts send us signals that sharp angles usually indicate danger and that we’re more likely to get hurt. In contrast, curvy designs are perceived as friendlier and more approachable.” This feeling leads people to subconsciously prefer things, including digital ad designs, which are soft-edged and curvy. As published in the Journal of Consumer Research, Biswas tested this concept through click rates and eye movement studies in the Muma College of Business Customer Experience Lab. The novel findings reveal how the shapes of virtual elements can subconsciously influence click-through rates. “We studied a hotel search button and we consistently found the click rate was higher when the elements were curved,” Biswas says. “It translated to an increase of nearly 15percent in total revenue(收入).” According to Biswas, this means companies can potentially manipulate consumers as they will unconsciously click and spend more through the use of curved call-to-action buttons. For companies that put little thought or reasoning behind their design element choices, this study could be eye-opening for them. For shoppers, this means when they’re surfing the web around a holiday shopping season, they are subject to the marketing practice, such as design elements, which can lead to more unplanned purchases. Biswas encourages online shoppers to set a budget to balance such digital influence. “Having a budget will give you a benchmark to keep things more conscious-oriented and you’re less likely to be influenced by variables like these.” 12. Why do people tend to click curvy buttons when shopping online? A. They make shopping convenient. B. They give us a sense of security. C. They often mean trade discounts. D. They offer various easy options. 13. Which is closest in meaning to “manipulate” in paragraph 4? A. Respect. B. Block. C. Track. D. Affect. 14. What do we know about curvy designs? A. They have been used by all businesses. B. They stop us making decisions quickly. C. They are a powerful tool for companies. D. They enable websites to function well. 15. What does Biswas probably suggest readers do? A. Be reasonable consumers. B. Frequent physical stores. C. Become aware of their right. D. Avoid surfing the Internet. 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 New academicians take a group photo after the certificate awarding ceremony at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. ____16____ They aimed to make greater contributions to the development of the nation’s scientific research by encouraging the young generation and promoting the role of female scientists.

It means “to do a good deed”. According to my grandmother, it also had another meaning. This was the one she was always pointing out to me because she noticed how shy I was about letting people do things for me. “Linda, it’s a blessing to do a mitzvah for someone else, but sometimes it’s a blessing to let another person do something for you.” Three weeks later, on the night of taking my final exam, the snow was falling steadily for hours. Pride would not let me knock on a door and say, “It’s a 10-minute ride by car but a long wait for the bus, and it’s a 30-minute bus ride, so could you possibly give me a lift to school?” So I trudged (艰难地走) to the bus stop. For an hour, I prayed desperately that a bus would come. Then I gave up. The wind at my back pushed me toward home and I seemed to hear Grandma’s whisper: Ask someone for a lift! It could be a mitzvah. That idea had never really made sense to me. And even if I wanted to ask someone for a good deed, there wasn’t a soul on the street. But as I pushed the door of my apartment building open, I found myself face to face with a woman at the mailbox. In that split second, desperation overcame pride, “Could you possibly give me a lift?” I hurriedly said, feeling quite awkward and uncomfortable, “I never ask anybody for a lift, but...” An odd look crossed the woman’s face, and I added, “Oh! I live in Room 401. I moved in recently!” 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。 Then, without hesitation, she said, “Of course.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Back home, I happened to know Grandma Alice was Mrs. Green! ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
