B When Wilson was 10 years old, he promised his mother that one day she would never again have to wash other people’s clothes for a living and he was going to start his own business and support her. His mother just nodded silently, knowing no member of their family had ever owned a business. Years passed, but Wilson’s dream did not. After high school, Wilson joined the army, where his goal of one day owning a family restaurant began to take shape. He signed up for the food service school there and he became such an excellent cook that he was promoted to the officers’ dining hall. After he left the army at 28, he worked as a police officer for the following fifteen years. When he felt he was in need of the business skills for his business, he took business classes at night in his off-hours. “I also saved every cent I earned as a police officer,” he recalled. “For ten years, I didn’t spend one cent — there were no movies, no vacations, and no trips.” By 2013, with enough savings, Wilson decided to make his dream a reality. He opened his first restaurant. However, the first few months were a failure. Wilson quickly change his business strategy and once a week he offered his employees (雇员) classes in customer service and management. He encouraged them to develop personal and professional goals. He always stressed that the faster and more efficiently the employees served the customers, the more profitable that way would be. Today, Wilson owns nine restaurants and employs over four hundred people. In the community, Wilson funded athletic teams and scholarships (奖学金) to get kids off the streets and into community centers and schools. Then his restaurants became profitable, earning much more than before. More importantly, Wilson paved the way for thousands of ordinary young people who are working to make their dreams a reality, helping their communities, and serving up hope. 4. Why did Wilson want to start his own business at first? A. To become a great cook. B. To help his mother economically. C. To cheer his mother up. D. To set an example for his family. 5. What did Wilson focus on besides his major work in his 30s? A Plans for realizing his dream. B. Setting up business schools. C. Preparations for enjoying life. D. Working as a police officer. 6. How did Wilson improve his restaurant after it failed? A. By increasing the number of his employees. B. By cutting down the profits of his restaurant. C. By offering his workers professional training. D. By meeting customers’ needs as much as possible. 7. Which of the following can best describe Wilson? A. Easy-going and honest. B. Self-centered and curious. C. Warm-hearted and wise. D. Strong-willed and helpful. C A recent research study suggests that learning music doesn’t make you smarter For a while, there was an idea found on the Internet and in various magazines that suggested that babies could become smarter if they listened to Mozart, or to other classical music. Inspired, some parents bought classical CDs for their babies in the hope that this would boost their intelligence. But this so-called “Mozart Effect” has been challenged repeatedly. But is taking music lessons surely different from just listening to music? Wouldn’t taking music lessons make kids smarter? That’s exactly the question that many researchers over the years have tried to answer. Some of their studies concluded that it does, and some found that it doesn’t. For example, one study showed that music education did not improve reading skills, while another one found a small effect of music on young children’s ability to learn words. The researchers of the new study, Giovanni Sala (Fujita Health University) and Fernand Gober (London School of Economics) , looked at the data behind 54 carefully selected studies, and after carefully comparing the data from different papers, they concluded that children who took music lessons did not score higher on tests that measured their intelligence or academic ability than kids that didn’t learn music. If music doesn’t make you smarter, how does that explain other researches that show that music lessons help students’ school performance? It seems like there is something about music lessons that makes students able to perform better in their other classes. That doesn’t have to be intelligence, and it’s likely not. Music lessons could have helped in different ways: they could have led to a change in homework habits, they could have increased confidence, or they could have improved social skills. And finally, they also mention that music education could still be beneficial to students’ performance in non-music subject if music is combined with these classes. So feel free to keep making music, and keep encouraging children to learn music. 8. Which of the following words is closest to the underlined word “boost” in paragraph 2? A. Improve. B. Reduce. C. Need. D. Influence. 9. What does the example in paragraph 3 prove? A. Listening to music benefits kids a lot. B. Whether music education suits all kids remains unknown. C. Listening to music fails to help kids in language learning. D. Whether taking music lessons makes kids smarter is not certain. 10. How did the researchers do the new study? A They did 54 small studies in all. B. They examined plenty of previous research. C. They observed children in music classes. D. They did an online survey of musical students. 11. What result can we know from the last paragraph? A. A student’s intelligence can be increased with effort. B. Intelligence determines one’s school performance. C. Music lessons should be encouraged for children. D. Students should avoid listening to music while studying. D In our daily life, we often hear people talking about being moral and having virtue. But what exactly are moral and virtue? Morality can be seen as a set of rules or principles that a society or a group of people believe should be followed. These rules help us distinguish between right and wrong. For example, it is considered moral to tell the truth, to help those in need and to respect the rights of others. When we follow these moral rules, we are acting in a way that is approved by the society around us. Virtue, on the other hand, refers more to the positive qualities or characteristics of a person. A virtuous person is often kind-hearted, honest, brave and generous. Virtues are not just about following rules; they are the internal qualities that drive a person to do good things. A person with the virtue of kindness will naturally help others without thinking about getting anything in return. In a recent news story, a local community center organized a volunteer event. Many people showed up to help clean the park, distribute food to the homeless and teach children. These volunteers were showing both moral and virtuous behavior. By helping others, they were following the moral principle of being kind and helpful, and at the same time, they were demonstrating their virtues of compassion (同情) and selflessness (无私). However, sometimes, people might face moral dilemmas. For instance, a person might see someone stealing something. The moral thing to do is to report it, but they might be afraid of getting into trouble. In such cases, a person’s virtues, like courage, will determine whether they can do the right thing. Once people make right choices, they will have a good impact on society. Virtue is like a pebble thrown into water-the ripples are endless. In conclusion, moral and virtue are closely related. Morality provides the external framework of rules, while virtue is the internal force that enables us to follow these rules and do good deeds. 12. Which of the following is an example of virtue? A. Paying taxes on time. B. Following the traffic rules. C. Not lying according to the moral code. D. Helping a blind man cross the street out of kindness. 13. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To explain the concepts of moral and virtue and their relationship. B. To introduce different moral and virtuous behaviors in society C. To persuade people to be more moral and virtuous. D. To discuss the origin of moral and virtue. 14. What does the metaphor “ripples” in the last but one paragraph imply? A. Virtue can spread widely and have a lasting impact on society. B. Virtue is as small and unimportant as a pebble. C. Virtue is difficult to understand and practice. D. Virtue makes people’s lives more colorful. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Difference Between Moral and Virtue B. Overcoming Moral Dilemmas with Virtues C. Importance of Moral and Virtue in Our Life D. Moral and Virtue:The Twin Pillars of Good Behavior 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Watching a movie can be a magical experience, but do you know that the music in the films we watch has always been an important part of creating that magical experience?___16___ The first commercial film with sound came out in 1927. ___17___Even back in the early days of silent films，most movie theatres hired a musician or a group of musicians to provide music, mostly to drown out the sound of the film projectors (放映机) and people talking.

Like music written for an opera，film music serves to advance the story and the action. ___18___ In the same way, a film composer needs to support the screenplay’s storyline. The music also needs to reflect the screenplay’s mood, which includes everything from the action on the screen to sound effects to dialogue. Music has a language of its own. The right piece of music can improve and sometimes even change a viewer’s ideas of what is taking place onscreen. Most of the time, music is used to stress the action onscreen, improve the mood of a scene, foreshadow action that is about to take place or even show the emotion of a character. ___19___ But in many instances the emotional power of the visuals would not be as great were it not for the music. ___20___ Ask yourself, “How would this scene feel if the music were different? Is the composer trying to tell me how I should feel? Or are they merely pushing me in an emotional direction?” A. So, how is the film music created? B. Without it, it would be hard to imagine the scene. C. An opera composer must follow the text of the opera. D. Usually, composers and filmmakers don’t want to overshadow a film. E. So the next time you watch a movie, pay close attention to the music. F. The music in a film makes you cheer for the hero and cry at the drama. G. Since then, music has been powerfully linked to the movie-watching experience. 第二部分 语言运用（共五节，满分55分） 第一节完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Several years ago, Adam Kaye was hosting a family barbecue at his home when his mother, Marti Kaye, broke the news.

Music lessons could have helped in different ways: they could have led to a change in homework habits, they could have increased confidence, or they could have improved social skills. And finally, they also mention that music education could still be beneficial to students’ performance in non-music subject if music is combined with these classes. So feel free to keep making music, and keep encouraging children to learn music. 8. Which of the following words is closest to the underlined word “boost” in paragraph 2? A. Improve. B. Reduce. C. Need. D. Influence. 9 What does the example in paragraph 3 prove? A. Listening to music benefits kids a lot. B. Whether music education suits all kids remains unknown. C. Listening to music fails to help kids in language learning. D. Whether taking music lessons makes kids smarter is not certain. 10. How did the researchers do the new study? A. They did 54 small studies in all. B. They examined plenty of previous research. C. They observed children in music classes. D. They did an online survey of musical students. 11. What result can we know from the last paragraph? A. A student’s intelligence can be increased with effort. B. Intelligence determines one’s school performance. C Music lessons should be encouraged for children. D. Students should avoid listening to music while studying. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项新的研究结果，即学习音乐并不会让人变得更聪明，但音乐课仍然可能对学生的非音乐学科表现有益。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据上文“For a while, there was an idea found on the Internet and in various magazines that suggested that babies could become smarter if they listened to Mozart, or to other classical music.(有一段时间，互联网和各种杂志上流传着一种观点，认为婴儿听莫扎特或其他古典音乐可以变得更聪明)”可知，受到这个观点的启发，一些父母为他们的孩子购买古典CD，希望这能提高他们的智力。由此可知，boost意为“提高”。故选A。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“But is taking music lessons surely different from just listening to music? Wouldn’t taking music lessons make kids smarter? That’s exactly the question that many researchers over the years have tried to answer. Some of their studies concluded that it does, and some found that it doesn’t. For example, one study showed that music education did not improve reading skills, while another one found a small effect of music on young children’s ability to learn words.(但是上音乐课和仅仅听音乐肯定不同吗？上音乐课不会让孩子更聪明吗？这正是多年来许多研究人员试图回答的问题。他们的一些研究得出结论是会的，而另一些研究则发现不会。例如，一项研究表明，音乐教育并没有提高阅读能力，而另一项研究则发现音乐对幼儿学习单词的能力有很小的影响)”可知，第三段中的例子是为了证明上音乐课是否能让孩子更聪明还不确定。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The researchers of the new study, Giovanni Sala (Fujita Health University) and Fernand Gober (London School of Economics) , looked at the data behind 54 carefully selected studies, and after carefully comparing the data from different papers, they concluded that children who took music lessons did not score higher on tests that measured their intelligence or academic ability than kids that didn’t learn music.(这项新研究的研究人员，富士塔健康大学的乔瓦尼•萨拉和伦敦经济学院的费尔南德•戈贝尔，查看了54项精心挑选的研究背后的数据，并在仔细比较了不同论文的数据后得出结论，上音乐课的孩子在衡量智力和学术能力的测试中的得分并不比不学音乐的孩子高)”可知，研究人员是通过审查了大量先前的研究来进行这项新研究的。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“And finally, they also mention that music education could still be beneficial to students’ performance in non-music subject if music is combined with these classes. So feel free to keep making music, and keep encouraging children to learn music.(最后，他们还提到，如果音乐与这些课程相结合，音乐教育仍然可能对学生的非音乐学科表现有益。所以，请继续创作音乐，并继续鼓励孩子们学习音乐)”可知，从最后一段我们可以知道应该鼓励孩子们上音乐课。故选C。 D In our daily life, we often hear people talking about being moral and having virtue. But what exactly are moral and virtue? Morality can be seen as a set of rules or principles that a society or a group of people believe should be followed. These rules help us distinguish between right and wrong. For example, it is considered moral to tell the truth, to help those in need and to respect the rights of others. When we follow these moral rules, we are acting in a way that is approved by the society around us. Virtue, on the other hand, refers more to the positive qualities or characteristics of a person. A virtuous person is often kind-hearted, honest, brave and generous. Virtues are not just about following rules; they are the internal qualities that drive a person to do good things. A person with the virtue of kindness will naturally help others without thinking about getting anything in return. In a recent news story, a local community center organized a volunteer event. Many people showed up to help clean the park, distribute food to the homeless and teach children. These volunteers were showing both moral and virtuous behavior. By helping others, they were following the moral principle of being kind and helpful, and at the same time, they were demonstrating their virtues of compassion (同情) and selflessness (无私). However, sometimes, people might face moral dilemmas. For instance, a person might see someone stealing something. The moral thing to do is to report it, but they might be afraid of getting into trouble. In such cases, a person’s virtues, like courage, will determine whether they can do the right thing. Once people make right choices, they will have a good impact on society. Virtue is like a pebble thrown into water-the ripples are endless. In conclusion, moral and virtue are closely related. Morality provides the external framework of rules, while virtue is the internal force that enables us to follow these rules and do good deeds. 12. Which of the following is an example of virtue? A. Paying taxes on time. B. Following the traffic rules. C Not lying according to the moral code. D. Helping a blind man cross the street out of kindness. 13. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To explain the concepts of moral and virtue and their relationship. B. To introduce different moral and virtuous behaviors in society C. To persuade people to be more moral and virtuous. D. To discuss the origin of moral and virtue. 14. What does the metaphor “ripples” in the last but one paragraph imply? A. Virtue can spread widely and have a lasting impact on society. B. Virtue is as small and unimportant as a pebble. C. Virtue is difficult to understand and practice. D. Virtue makes people’s lives more colorful. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Difference Between Moral and Virtue B. Overcoming Moral Dilemmas with Virtues C. Importance of Moral and Virtue in Our Life D. Moral and Virtue:The Twin Pillars of Good Behavior 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要介绍的是道德与美德的内涵、区别及其在行为中的作用。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Virtue, on the other hand, refers more to the positive qualities or characteristics of a person.( 另一方面，美德更多地是指一个人的积极品质或特征。)”可知，美德是指人的积极品质或特征；再根据第二段中“Morality can be seen as a set of rules or principles that a society or a group of people believe should be followed.( 道德可以被看作是一个社会或一群人认为应该遵循的一套规则或原则。)”可知，D项“帮助盲人过马路”属于美德的典型体现。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章大意以及第一段“In our daily life, we often hear people talking about being moral and having virtue. But what exactly are moral and virtue?( 在我们的日常生活中，我们经常听到人们谈论道德和美德。但道德和美德究竟是什么？)”可知，文章开篇提出问题 “什么是道德（moral ）和美德（virtue ）”，接着分别解释了道德是社会或群体认为应遵循的规则，美德是人的积极品质，还阐述了它们之间的紧密关系，最后总结道德提供外部规则框架，美德是促使我们遵循规则和做好事的内在力量。所以文章主要目的是解释道德和美德的概念及其关系。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“Virtue is like a pebble thrown into water- the ripples are endless.( 美德就像扔进水中的鹅卵石，涟漪无穷。)”可知，美德就像投入水中的鹅卵石——涟漪无穷无尽，意在说明美德就像小石子激起的涟漪一样，对社会产生持久的影响。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章分别阐述了道德是社会或群体遵循的规则，美德是个人的积极品质，通过志愿者活动的例子说明二者在生活中的体现，还提到面对道德困境时美德的作用，最后总结了道德和美德是密切相关的。由此可推知，D 选项“Moral and Virtue: The Twin Pillars of Good Behavior（道德和美德：良好行为的两大支柱）”很好地概括了文章主旨，最适合作文章标题。故选D。 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Watching a movie can be a magical experience, but do you know that the music in the films we watch has always been an important part of creating that magical experience?___16___ The first commercial film with sound came out in 1927. ___17___Even back in the early days of silent films，most movie theatres hired a musician or a group of musicians to provide music, mostly to drown out the sound of the film projectors (放映机) and people talking. As sound-on-film technology developed, composers were hired to create original music for films. Like music written for an opera，film music serves to advance the story and the action. ___18___ In the same way, a film composer needs to support the screenplay’s storyline. The music also needs to reflect the screenplay’s mood, which includes everything from the action on the screen to sound effects to dialogue. Music has a language of its own. The right piece of music can improve and sometimes even change a viewer’s ideas of what is taking place onscreen. Most of the time, music is used to stress the action onscreen, improve the mood of a scene, foreshadow action that is about to take place or even show the emotion of a character. ___19___ But in many instances the emotional power of the visuals would not be as great were it not for the music. ___20___ Ask yourself, “How would this scene feel if the music were different? Is the composer trying to tell me how I should feel? Or are they merely pushing me in an emotional direction?” A. So, how is the film music created? B. Without it, it would be hard to imagine the scene. C. An opera composer must follow the text of the opera. D. Usually, composers and filmmakers don’t want to overshadow a film. E. So the next time you watch a movie, pay close attention to the music. F. The music in a film makes you cheer for the hero and cry at the drama. G. Since then, music has been powerfully linked to the movie-watching experience. 【答案】16. B 17. G 18. C 19. D 20.

(同样，电影作曲家也需要支持剧本的故事情节)”可知，选项与下文为并列关系，说明歌剧作曲要遵循的原则。故C选项“歌剧作曲家要遵循歌剧的文本”切题。故选C项。 【19题详解】 根据下文“But in many instances the emotional power of the visuals would not be as great were it not for the music. (但在许多情况下，如果没有音乐，视觉效果的情感力量就不会那么强大)”可知，空处与下文为转折关关系，说明了作曲家和电影人不希望看到的效果。故D选项“通常情况下，作曲家和电影人都不想让音乐盖过电影的风头”切题。故选D项。 【20题详解】 根据下文“Ask yourself, “How would this scene feel if the music were different? Is the composer trying to tell me how I should feel? Or are they merely pushing me in an emotional direction?” (问问自己，“如果音乐不同，这个场景会有什么感觉？作曲家是想告诉我应该有什么感觉吗？还是他们只是在把我推向情绪化的方向？”)”可知，要多多注意音乐要表达的作用。故E选项“所以下次你看电影的时候，要注意音乐”切题。故选E项。 第二部分 语言运用（共五节，满分55分） 第一节完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Several years ago, Adam Kaye was hosting a family barbecue at his home when his mother, Marti Kaye, broke the news.
