The writer’s main purpose in writing the passage is to ________. A. express sincere appreciation to the users B. instruct the users how to operate the device C. attract the consumers to purchase the device D. show the device’s features to the consumers B I was walking home when a well-dressed man politely stopped me. “Could you tell me which way to Bloor and…” He struggled to get the next word out with a pained look, but I knew better than to finish his sentence for him. “… Bathurst?” he said after several seconds of trying. When I answered, he told me that he didn’t actually need to know. He was practising stuttering (口吃) openly, he explained, hoping to become more confident doing so around strangers. “Are you doing that because it’s National Stuttering Awareness Day?” I asked with excitement, eager to connect with other stutterers. When he asked how I knew that, I said I grew up with a stutter. He nodded, asking hopefully: “So your stutter has magically disappeared?” I paused. I understood why he assumed this — I sounded quite fluent. But even as we spoke, my stutter had influenced my speech, and that’s why I’d misnamed International as National to avoid the tricky front sound that I continue to struggle with. Data shows four percent of all children stutter, while only one percent of them stutter into adulthood-a 75 percent drop. But are the supposed ex-stutters completely free of their stuttering past? Actually, though the severity of my stutter has decreased with age, it has shaped my identity and affected my life tremendously, informing the way that I speak, interact and move around in the world. Some define stutter as a disability because it is as constant and out of control as blindness or other disabilities. There’s no pill, no surgery, no way to get rid of it, no “recovering” from it. But there is recovering from the shame and self-hatred that result from it. Some researchers have begun to argue that treatment for stutter shouldn’t be centered around removing a person’s stutter, but rather on reducing one’s negative thoughts and behaviors surrounding it. As for me, I’d say that my stutter has not “magically disappeared” because I’ve simply found ways to conceal (隐藏) it. But I have a better therapy now-I will grow alongside it, an identity inseparable from the way that I speak. Thinking about this, I decided to tell the man, who was still looking at me hopefully: “______.” 24. The decent man stopped the author because he ______. A. lost his way and asked about the direction B. was very eager to connect with other stutterers C. wanted to be braver when talking to unfamiliar people D. was practising giving speeches fluently in open occasions 25. Why did the author misname the International as National in paragraph 2? A. Because he misremembered the name of this day. B. Because the National version is more familiar to people. C. Because it is quite difficult for him to make the sound “inter”. D. Because as a stutter, he can’t pronounce the word “international”. 26. What might be the author’s answer in the last paragraph? A. Yes. I have got rid of stutter by developing a more positive attitude towards life. B. No. There is no recovering from stutter and I have simply found ways to conceal it. C. Yes. As I grow older, I rarely stutter now and people around me don’t know I stuttered. D. No. I will always live with stutter because it is also apart of me and I gladly accept that. 27. What’s the best title for this passage? A. My stutter, myself B. New definitions for stutter C. Stutter, a life-changing disability D. A special encounter with stutterers C The Canadian philosopher Charles Taylor has described our times as the “Age of Authenticity,” meaning an era when people are willing to publicize their secrets and indulge (放纵) their urges, even if such a drive for personal truth crosses traditional boundaries of self-control. Once, this type of exhibitionism was the preserve of a few celebrities, but now anybody can get in on the act, such as the self-disclosure on social media. But the “Age of Authenticity” does not seem to have made us happier. Quite the reverse. One possible explanation for this paradox is that the lowering of self-control is an understandable but significant error in our collective thinking, and it takes us in exactly the wrong direction where happiness is concerned. Understanding how this happened can help you be happier in your own life. From a psychological perspective, two brain systems govern self-management: the behavioral activation system, which drives reward-seeking, and the behavioral inhibition system, which avoids punishment. When activation rises or inhibition falls, self-control decreases; when inhibition rises or activation falls, self-control increases. So which combination makes us happier overall — more of the behavioral activation system and less of the behavioral inhibition system, or the other way around? The answer is both. A team of eight psychologists showed this in a 2018 study on self-control in the Journal of Personality. The team fielded a series of undergraduate surveys. The researchers found that low levels of self-control were associated with the lowest levels of subjective well-being. Moving to a higher level of self-control increased the undergraduates’ happiness. Interestingly, the researchers also discovered a complete lack of self-control was associated with slightly higher momentary well-being, which might lead to negative social consequences for others. For your own well-being, and everyone’s, increasing self-control might be much better than lowering it. If you want to increase your self-control, be aware of the forces around you that may lower the activity of the inhibition system in your brain and thus push you toward lower self-control, such as anonymity (匿名), and social power. If you’re seeking to boost your self-control, shun any social media forum where your identity is hidden. If you possess an ability to publish material that many other people will read, see, or hear, you should ask yourself whether your desire to attract and retain an audience is leading you to abandon your privacy. Aristotle once wrote that “virtues are formed in a man by his doing the actions.” One important choice we have is to behave with either controlled grace or uncontrolled entitlement. Neither option is in reality more authentic than the other because in becoming who we are through our choices, both paths are equally authentic; both embody who we’ve chosen to be as people. But only one path, that of controlled grace, leads to greater happiness for one and all. 28. “Age of Authenticity” means ______. A. a period when people exercise less self-control B. an era characterized by a return to traditional values C. a time when privacy of personal truth is encouraged D. an age where crossing traditional boundaries are urged 29. From the passage, we learn that ______. A. enhancing inhibition may improve long-term well-being B. increased activation leads to higher momentary happiness C. activation promotes reward-seeking by avoiding punishment D. lowering self-management triggers negative social consequences 30. People can improve self-control by ______. A. maintaining privacy by reducing online presence B. employing social power to gain popularity online C. embracing anonymity when browsing public forums D taking responsibility for what they post on social media D Art has always occupied a special place in society. Many people consider artists to be the ultimate authorities on the nature and expression of beauty. For much of history, the practice of art was mysterious, and artists were viewed as being somewhat odd and often mad. Even the word most commonly associated with artists — inspiration — has its own magical qualities. Literally, “inspiration” is the breathing in of a spirit. Artists were thought of as people who were uniquely inspired to create. Of course, artists themselves contributed to this myth. “Many artists credited their talents to the presence of some paranormal power.” Whole movements of art have centered on the supposedly otherworldly nature of art. For example, the Romantic poets believed that art was a term that meant an ultimate expression of beauty and truth. The search for this ideal led them to explore both natural and divine themes in their works. Another persistent view of art regarded its divorce from logic. Reason and logic were the province of scientists and philosophers, whereas creativity and insight were the area of the artists. The two separate aspects of the mind were supposed to remain distinct. But in 1704, a major breakthrough occurred. Sir Isaac Newton, mathematician and physicist, published his study of light, Opticks. One of Newton’s major discoveries was on the nature of color. Using a prism (棱镜), Newton found that white light is actually composed of all the colors of the rainbow. He even provided a scientific explanation for the presence of rainbows. The artistic community was shocked. A scientist had taken a beautiful and magical experience and reduced it to the simple refraction of beams of light through the prism of a raindrop. A scientist had ventured into their sacred territory. More than a hundred years later, John Keats, one of the most famous Romantic poets, accused Newton of reducing beauty by “unweaving the rainbow.” His colleague, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, famously remarked that the souls of five hundred Newtons would be needed to make one Shakespeare. And yet, from another perspective, Newton did not reduce the beauty of the rainbow; he enhanced it. In his search to uncover the secrets of the rainbow, Newton demonstrated the wonder, creativity, and inspiration of an artist. He also gave the world another opportunity to experience the sublime (绝妙的东西). Newton’s discovery paved the way for the development of the science of spectroscopy (光谱学), a way of analyzing the chemical makeup of light. Now scientists can look at the stars and know their composition. The sense of wonder this ability creates is not much different from the wonder the poet or artist feels when staring at those same stars. 31 What does the word “paranormal” underlined in Paragraph 2 most probably mean? A. Abnormal. B. Supernatural. C. Crazy. D. Spiritual. 32. How did the Romantic poets react to Newton’s discovery about light and color? A. They credited Newton’s insights to mystical influences. B. They felt it faded the poetic beauty of natural phenomena. C. They were inspired to integrate more scientific themes in their poetry. D. They believed it added a new dimension to the appreciation of beauty. 33. Why does the author mention John Keats’ and Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s views on Isaac Newton? A. To show that Romantic poets objected to scientific progress. B. To emphasize the superior creativity of poets over scientists. C. To state that Shakespeare’s knowledge of beauty was unmatched. D. To highlight the impact of scientific discoveries on artistic perception. 34. Which of the following is the best title of the passage? A. The Interplay of Art and Science B. Isaac Newton’s Influence on Arts C. The Contrast between Art and Logics D. The Artistic Interpretation of Science 第二节 信息还原（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能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。 They had names such as Tom the Terror, Dirty Face, and Bilgewater. They traveled thousands of miles on warships with history’s saltiest sailors. They were valued members of the crew, even issued uniforms for photographs and their own tiny beds for napping. They were the cats that served in the world’s navies. Ship cats are not a recent phenomenon. They have been serving on ships for almost as long as humans have been going to sea. Ancient Egyptians depicted them hunting from boats sailing down the Nile. ____35____ Cats’ hunting skills on land made them valuable companions at sea. Rats and mice caused major problems on ships. ____36____ Cats were a cheap and effective solution to these problems — and they were also good company. On long voyages, they could provide a vessel’s crew with affection and softness in the harsh environment of a ship. Not surprisingly, sailors developed plenty of beliefs around cat behavior. Seamen preparing to sail considered it good luck when cats chose to board their vessels. ____37____ An even worse omen (预兆)? The sight of two cats fighting on a pier could be forewarning that those setting sail would die. Though cats are known for their dislikes to water, their biology makes them surprisingly suited to life at sea. Unlike human sailors who drank lemon juice to prevent scurvy, cats can make their own vitamin C. ____38____ Cats are also able to obtain most of the water they need from their prey, so they do not require a lot of potable water as human sailors do. ____39____ The long run of the ship cat was ended by stricter international quarantine laws imposed. Many countries required a lengthy quarantine period for disembarking cats. If local officials caught one sneaking off a ship, the captain could be fined or even placed under arrest. A. But it was a dreadful sign indeed when a cat decided to jump ship. B. Therefore, they can survive on a diet that lacks fruits and vegetables. C. They polluted and consumed food, chewed through equipment, and spread disease. D. And the cats made their way across the Mediterranean aboard Greek trading vessels. E. And in the UK, the cats supplied to the Royal Navy even received a weekly allowance. F. Since the beginning of the WWII, however, most navies of the world have adopted a similar policy. G. However, following the end of the WWII, the special position that cats held on Navy ships began to decline. 第三部分 书面表达（共两节，32分） 第一节（共4小题；第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。 Collecting As a Hobby Collecting must be one of the most varied of human activities, and it’s one that many psychologists find fascinating. Some people collect because they want to make money. This could be called an instrumental reason for collecting. They’ll look for, say, antiques that they can buy cheaply and expect to sell at a profit. But there may well be a psychological element, too—buying cheap and selling dear can give the collector a sense of achievement. Another motive for collecting is the desire to find something special. Some may spend their whole lives in a hunt for this. Psychologically, this can give a purpose to a life that otherwise feels aimless. There is a danger, though, that if the individual is ever lucky enough to find what they’re looking for, rather than celebrating their success, they may feel empty, now that the goal that drove them on has gone. If you think about collecting postage stamps, another potential reason is its educational value. Stamp collecting opens a window to other countries, and to the plants, animals, or famous people shown on their stamps. In the past, and nowadays, too, a popular form of collecting, was trainspotting. This might involve trying to see every locomotive (火车头) of a particular type, using published data that identify each one, and ticking off each engine as it is seen. As a by-product, many train spotters become very knowledgeable about railway operations, or the technical specifications of different engine types. Not all collectors are interested in learning from their hobbies. Some people collect because of the need for a sense of control. Stamp collectors, for instance, arrange their stamps in albums very neatly according to their preferred principles. All hobbies give pleasure, but the common factor in collecting is usually passion. Collecting can be totally appealing, and can give a strong sense of personal achievement. To non-collectors it may appear a strange way of spending time, but potentially, collecting has a lot going for it. 40. What is the instrumental reason for collecting? 41. What is the danger of hunting for something special as a life purpose? 42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. ➢ Collectors gain material and psychological benefits from collecting, but non-collectors may not see its value, so they are not advised to have a try. 43. If you are a collector, what do you collect? And why?

Besides, don’t be afraid to start conversations with classmates. Most people are friendly and willing to talk. Remember, things will get easier. Just give yourself some time and be patient.
