And indeed “adventure” was really an appropriate name for that ship, and for everything that happened on that journey. The first part of our trip went well. But when we sailed through the Indian Ocean, there were some terrible storms. The winds were so strong that they sent our ship completely off course. We didn’t know where we were. At last, when the storms stopped, we saw an island. We had no more drinking water, so the captain sent me to find some fresh water on the island. I set off with some other men in a small boat. And when we got there, I travelled around the island by myself while the men looked for water. That was a big mistake. When I went back, there were no men and no boat! Then I saw them rowing desperately back to our ship with an enormous giant following them in the sea! They were very frightened. I ran as fast as I could in the opposition direction. I then climbed up a big hill and when I looked around, I saw fields and fields of very long grass. Then I saw other giants working in the fields. “On my last trip, I was a giant on an island of tiny people and now I am a tiny person on an island of giants!” It was not a nice feeling. I was sad and hid behind an enormous tree. I had to think of a plan, but at that time one of the giants saw me. —Taken from Gulliver’s Travels 29．The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 4 refers to “________ ”.

D．How did Gulliver feel when he saw giants working in the fields? 【答案】29．D 30．C 31．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文为文学名著《格列佛游记》的节选，讲述了格列佛的船只在海上被暴风雨乱跑到一个不知名的地方，当他们看到岛屿后，格列佛和其他几个船员去岛上寻找淡水，偶然发现了巨人的所在。 29．代词指代题。根据“And when we got there, I travelled around the island by myself while the men looked for water.”可知，格列佛一个人绕着岛走了一圈，而人们则在寻找水。根据“When I went back, there were no men and no boat! Then I saw them rowing desperately back to our ship with an enormous giant following them in the sea!”可知，当格列佛回去的时候，看见人们拼命地划回他们的船。因此“them”指代“some other men”。故选D。 30．细节理解题。根据“The first part of our trip went well. But when we sailed through the Indian Ocean, there were some terrible storms.”可知，首先遇到了风暴，因此②处在第一位；根据“We had no more drinking water, so the captain sent me to find some fresh water on the island.”可知，船长让格列佛去岛上找些淡水，因此④处于第二位；根据“Then I saw them rowing desperately back to our ship with an enormous giant following them in the sea!”可知，格列佛看到了巨人，故①处在第三位；根据“Then I saw other giants working in the fields.”可知，格列佛看到其他巨人在地里干活。故③处于第四位。故选C。 31．细节理解题。根据“ But when we sailed through the Indian Ocean, there were some terrible storms. The winds were so strong that they sent our ship completely off course.”可知，此处解释了船偏离航线的原因，故排除A项；根据“And indeed ‘adventure’ was really an appropriate name for that ship, and for everything that happened on that journey.”可知，此处说明了格列佛对“冒险”号船的名字的看法，故排除C项；根据“‘On my last trip, I was a giant on an island of tiny people and now I am a tiny person on an island of giants!’ It was not a nice feeling.”可知，此处说明了当格列佛看到巨人在地里干活时的感觉，故排除D项。选项B的问题文中没有回答。故选B。 C Now it’s the holidays. Hopefully, life is slowing down. It’s the perfect time to learn the art of taking things slow. Most people are in a rush nearly all the time. This rushing has a name “hurry sickness”. People with hurry sickness often feel like there aren’t enough hours in the day to complete everything. They might get angry when they find themselves trapped in traffic or try to do too many things at once, like eating while getting dressed or watching television while working. Rushing often leads to mistakes and then it takes even more time to fix them in the long run. Hurry sickness can make people feel tired and unhappy. “There’s so much we miss when we rush,” says Amy Arthur. “Slowing down helps us see more.” Slowing down helps us enjoy things more. It can even make you a better friend because you can take your time to notice how others are feeling. Studies show slowing down helps us think clearly and find new ideas to work out problems. It’s not always easy to slow down when you have lots to do. If this happens, Arthur recommends giving yourself plenty of time for each task. Try to notice if you start rushing and ask yourself why you need to. Taking short breaks to have a rest. When life is busy, listening to calm music or finding a quiet corner and reading a book help you to take time out and recharge (再充电) your mind. 32．How does the writer introduce “hurry sickness” in the second paragraph? A．By telling stories. B．By listing numbers. C．By asking questions. D．By giving examples. 33．According to the passage, how does slowing down help us? A．It makes us see and hear things far away. B．It teaches us how to prevent busy traffic. C．It fixes mistakes when we take life faster. D．It helps us find new ways to work out problems. 34．What does Amy Arthur recommend to prevent rushing? A．Taking a break before doing the tasks. B．Asking others to do the tasks with you. C．Doing everything as quickly as possible. D．Giving yourself enough time for each task. 35．What is the purpose of the passage? A．To give tips on how to enjoy the free time better. B．To share ideas about how to complete more tasks. C．To advise people to slow down and enjoy the life. D．To question those who enjoy a slow living lifestyle. 【答案】32．D 33．D 34．D 35．C 【导语】本文主要讲述了匆忙病的危害，并建议人们要放慢脚步。 32．细节理解题。根据“They might get angry when they find themselves trapped in traffic or try to do too many things at once, like eating while getting dressed or watching television while working.”可知，当他们发现自己被困在交通中或试图同时做太多事情时，比如穿衣服时吃东西或工作时看电视，他们可能会感到愤怒，这是作者在举例介绍“匆忙病”。故选D。 33．细节理解题。根据“Studies show slowing down helps us think clearly and find new ideas to work out problems.”可知，放慢速度有助于我们找到解决问题的新方法。故选D。 34．细节理解题。根据“If this happens, Arthur recommends giving yourself plenty of time for each task.”可知，Amy Arthur建议给每件事情足够的时间，以避免匆忙。故选D。 35．主旨大意题。根据“When life is busy, listening to calm music or finding a quiet corner and reading a book help you to take time out and recharge (再充电) your mind.”及全文可知，本文主要讲述了匆忙病的危害及解决办法，旨在建议人们要放慢脚步，享受生活。故选C。 D People think differently, but how does this happen? To find out the answer, Dr. Guilford, a famous psychologist, carried out a study on creativity (创造力) in the 1970s, known at The Nine-Dot Puzzle (九点谜题). In the research, Guilford asked participators (参与者) to connect all nine dots with at most four straight lines, without lifting pencils from the paper. As a result, only 20% managed to solve the puzzle. The following survey showed that all failed participators had looked for ways in the virtual (虚拟的) box, which is formed with virtual lines. But the winners could break out of the virtual box and continued their lines in the open space around the dots. The results of Guilford’s research led him to an idea: creativity needs you to go outside the box. The idea was widely spread soon. Overnight, it seemed that there were creativity experts everywhere, teaching people how to think outside the box. The idea was so popular that no one thought of checking the facts until two different research teams, did another study. To check if Guilford’s idea is correct, the participators were divided (分) into two groups. The first group was given the same instructions as those in Guilford’s study. The second group was told they could draw outside the virtual box. Most people think that at least 60% of the second group could solve the puzzle easily. Guess what? Less than 25% solved the puzzle. It was nearly the same as the result of Guilford’s study. The result made everyone surprised, but it was the truth. Let’s look more closely at the surprising result. Solving this problem needs people to think outside the box. However, direct and clear instructions —“think outside the box” did not help participators solve the puzzle more easily. In some ways, the idea that thinking outside the box makes people more creative can be improper. 36．Which of the following can solve The Nine-Dot Puzzle? A． B． C． D． 37．Most people thought that in Guilford’s study, more participators would solve the puzzle if ________. A．they could find out the imagined box more quickly B．they were given some more time to complete the puzzle C．they were told to draw the lines outside the imagined box D．they could discuss the ways together with other participators 38．Which part of the article explains Burnham with Davis and Alba with Robert’s study and their findings? A．Paragraph 2. B．Paragraph 3. C．Paragraph 4. D．Paragraph 5. 39．Which is the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 40．The passage probably tells us that ________. A．the popular ideas among most people are true B．the “facts” accepted by many people may not be facts C．being good at going outside the box means creativity D．practising solving puzzles does help to think differently 【答案】36．D 37．C 38．C 39．B 40．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了20世纪70年代，一位名叫Guilford的心理学家进行了一项著名的关于创造力的研究，名为“九点谜题”，这让Guilford得出了一个笼统的结论：创造力需要你跳出框框。 36．推理判断题。根据“In the research, Guilford asked participators (参与者) to connect all nine dots with at most four straight lines, without lifting pencils from the paper. As a result, only 20% managed to solve the puzzle.”可知，要求参与者在不从纸上拿起铅笔的情况下，用最多四条直线连接所有九个点，结合选项，图D符合。故选D。 37．细节理解题。根据“The second group was told they could draw outside the virtual box. Most people think that at least 60% of the second group could solve the puzzle easily.”可知，人们预期如果参与者被告知可以在想象的边界之外画线，会有更多人解决这个谜题，故选C。 38．推理判断题。根据第三段结尾“The idea was so popular that no one thought of checking the facts until two different research teams, did another study.这个想法太受欢迎了，以至于没有人想到去核实事实，直到两个不同的研究团队做了另一项研究”以及第四段开头“To check if Guilford’s idea is correct, the participators were divided (分) into two groups.为了验证吉尔福德的想法是否正确，参与者被分成两组”可知，第四段解释他们的研究和发现，故选C。 39．篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第一段引出话题，第二段到第五段详细地讨论了“超越框架思维”的传播，研究以及意外发现，并对其进行反思，得出结论。故选B。 40．主旨大意题。文章讨论了广泛认为的“超越框架思维”提升创造力的观点，并指出这一观点在解决九点谜题时并没有带来更好的问题解决能力。最后得出结论，广为接受的观点并不总是正确的，故选B。 第II卷 非选择题（满分50分） 四、填空（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分） A）请根据句子意思，用括号中所给单词的适当形式填空，并将答索填写在相应横线上。 41．His little cat has been for almost three years.

(polite) 【答案】impolite 【详解】句意：对英国人来说问别人的年龄和体重是不礼貌的。根据“for British people to ask someone else’s age and weight”及所给词可知，询问别人年龄和体重是不礼貌的，用polite的反义词impolite“不礼貌的”。故填impolite。 44．If you have to push past others, remember to avoid their bodies.

But sometimes it does not seem like the same language. In fact, there are some important differences between British English and American English. First of all, they sound very different. Often, Americans don’t say each word separately. They say several words together. Americans may say “I dunno” instead of “I don’t know.” Or they may say “Whaddya say?” instead of “What did you say?” However, the British are more careful in their speech. They usually say all the words and keep them separate. Sound is not only the difference between British English and American English. Words sometimes have different meanings too. Some American words are never used in England. The same thing is true of some British words in America. For example, the vocabulary for cars and driving is very different. Americans drive trucks, but in England people drive lorries. Many expressions are also different in the two countries. In England, if you are going to telephone your friends, you “phone them up”. In America, you “give them a call”. When you are saying goodbye in England you might say “Cheerio!” In America you might say “See you later.” There’re also some differences in grammar. For example, Americans usually use the helping verb “do” when they ask a question. They say “Do you have a storybook?” But the British often leave out the helping verb. They say “Have you a storybook?” All these differences can be confusing (易混淆的) if you are learning English. But most languages are like this. Languages change over time. When people live in separate places, the languages change in different ways. Differences between British English and American English British English American English. Sound The British are more 56 in their speech. They usually say all the words and 57 them separate. American people often say 58 words together. They don’t say each 59 separately. 60 People drive lorries in England. People drive 61 in America. Expressions If the British want to telephone their friends, they’ll “ 62 them up”. If the Americans want to telephone their friends, they’ll “give them a 63 ”. 64 British people often leave out the helping verb “do” when they ask a question. Americans usually 65 the helping verb “do” when they ask a question. 【答案】 56．careful 57．keep 58．several 59．word 60．Vocabulary 61．trucks 62．phone 63．call 64．Grammar 65．use 【导语】本文主要介绍了英式英语和美式英语在发音、词汇、表达和语法方面的差异。 56．根据“However, the British are more careful in their speech.”可知，英国人在发音上更仔细，故填careful。 57．根据“They usually say all the words and keep them separate.”可知，英国人通常会说所有的单词并保持它们分开，故填keep。 58．根据“Often, Americans don’t say each word separately.

And indeed “adventure” was really an appropriate name for that ship, and for everything that happened on that journey. The first part of our trip went well. But when we sailed through the Indian Ocean, there were some terrible storms. The winds were so strong that they sent our ship completely off course. We didn’t know where we were. At last, when the storms stopped, we saw an island. We had no more drinking water, so the captain sent me to find some fresh water on the island. I set off with some other men in a small boat. And when we got there, I travelled around the island by myself while the men looked for water. That was a big mistake. When I went back, there were no men and no boat! Then I saw them rowing desperately back to our ship with an enormous giant following them in the sea! They were very frightened. I ran as fast as I could in the opposition direction. I then climbed up a big hill and when I looked around, I saw fields and fields of very long grass. Then I saw other giants working in the fields. “On my last trip, I was a giant on an island of tiny people and now I am a tiny person on an island of giants!” It was not a nice feeling. I was sad and hid behind an enormous tree. I had to think of a plan, but at that time one of the giants saw me. —Taken from Gulliver’s Travels 29．The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 4 refers to “________ ”. A．the giants B．tiny people C．the captains D．some other men 30．Which is the right order of what happened in the story? ①I saw a giant following our boat in the sea. ②We met storms and didn’t know where we were. ③I climbed up a hill and saw other giants working in the fields. ④The captain sent me to find some drinking water on the island.

C．What did Gulliver think of the name of the ship “Adventure”? D．How did Gulliver feel when he saw giants working in the fields? C Now it’s the holidays. Hopefully, life is slowing down. It’s the perfect time to learn the art of taking things slow. Most people are in a rush nearly all the time. This rushing has a name “hurry sickness”. People with hurry sickness often feel like there aren’t enough hours in the day to complete everything. They might get angry when they find themselves trapped in traffic or try to do too many things at once, like eating while getting dressed or watching television while working. Rushing often leads to mistakes and then it takes even more time to fix them in the long run. Hurry sickness can make people feel tired and unhappy. “There’s so much we miss when we rush,” says Amy Arthur. “Slowing down helps us see more.” Slowing down helps us enjoy things more. It can even make you a better friend because you can take your time to notice how others are feeling. Studies show slowing down helps us think clearly and find new ideas to work out problems. It’s not always easy to slow down when you have lots to do. If this happens, Arthur recommends giving yourself plenty of time for each task. Try to notice if you start rushing and ask yourself why you need to. Taking short breaks to have a rest. When life is busy, listening to calm music or finding a quiet corner and reading a book help you to take time out and recharge (再充电) your mind. 32．How does the writer introduce “hurry sickness” in the second paragraph? A．By telling stories. B．By listing numbers. C．By asking questions. D．By giving examples. 33．According to the passage, how does slowing down help us? A．It makes us see and hear things far away. B．It teaches us how to prevent busy traffic. C．It fixes mistakes when we take life faster. D．It helps us find new ways to work out problems. 34．What does Amy Arthur recommend to prevent rushing? A．Taking a break before doing the tasks. B．Asking others to do the tasks with you. C．Doing everything as quickly as possible. D．Giving yourself enough time for each task. 35．What is the purpose of the passage? A．To give tips on how to enjoy the free time better. B．To share ideas about how to complete more tasks. C．To advise people to slow down and enjoy the life. D．To question those who enjoy a slow living lifestyle. D People think differently, but how does this happen? To find out the answer, Dr. Guilford, a famous psychologist, carried out a study on creativity (创造力) in the 1970s, known at The Nine-Dot Puzzle (九点谜题). In the research, Guilford asked participators (参与者) to connect all nine dots with at most four straight lines, without lifting pencils from the paper. As a result, only 20% managed to solve the puzzle. The following survey showed that all failed participators had looked for ways in the virtual (虚拟的) box, which is formed with virtual lines. But the winners could break out of the virtual box and continued their lines in the open space around the dots. The results of Guilford’s research led him to an idea: creativity needs you to go outside the box. The idea was widely spread soon. Overnight, it seemed that there were creativity experts everywhere, teaching people how to think outside the box. The idea was so popular that no one thought of checking the facts until two different research teams, did another study. To check if Guilford’s idea is correct, the participators were divided (分) into two groups. The first group was given the same instructions as those in Guilford’s study. The second group was told they could draw outside the virtual box. Most people think that at least 60% of the second group could solve the puzzle easily. Guess what? Less than 25% solved the puzzle. It was nearly the same as the result of Guilford’s study. The result made everyone surprised, but it was the truth. Let’s look more closely at the surprising result. Solving this problem needs people to think outside the box. However, direct and clear instructions —“think outside the box” did not help participators solve the puzzle more easily. In some ways, the idea that thinking outside the box makes people more creative can be improper. 36．Which of the following can solve The Nine-Dot Puzzle? A． B． C． D． 37．Most people thought that in Guilford’s study, more participators would solve the puzzle if ________. A．they could find out the imagined box more quickly B．they were given some more time to complete the puzzle C．they were told to draw the lines outside the imagined box D．they could discuss the ways together with other participators 38．Which part of the article explains Burnham with Davis and Alba with Robert’s study and their findings? A．Paragraph 2. B．Paragraph 3. C．Paragraph 4. D．Paragraph 5. 39．Which is the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 40．The passage probably tells us that ________. A．the popular ideas among most people are true B．the “facts” accepted by many people may not be facts C．being good at going outside the box means creativity D．practising solving puzzles does help to think differently 第II卷 非选择题（满分50分） 四、填空（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分） A）请根据句子意思，用括号中所给单词的适当形式填空，并将答索填写在相应横线上。 41．His little cat has been for almost three years.

But sometimes it does not seem like the same language. In fact, there are some important differences between British English and American English. First of all, they sound very different. Often, Americans don’t say each word separately. They say several words together. Americans may say “I dunno” instead of “I don’t know.” Or they may say “Whaddya say?” instead of “What did you say?” However, the British are more careful in their speech. They usually say all the words and keep them separate. Sound is not only the difference between British English and American English. Words sometimes have different meanings too. Some American words are never used in England. The same thing is true of some British words in America. For example, the vocabulary for cars and driving is very different. Americans drive trucks, but in England people drive lorries. Many expressions are also different in the two countries. In England, if you are going to telephone your friends, you “phone them up”. In America, you “give them a call”. When you are saying goodbye in England you might say “Cheerio!” In America you might say “See you later.” There’re also some differences in grammar. For example, Americans usually use the helping verb “do” when they ask a question. They say “Do you have a storybook?” But the British often leave out the helping verb. They say “Have you a storybook?” All these differences can be confusing (易混淆的) if you are learning English. But most languages are like this. Languages change over time.
