Also known as the Big Apple, New York City was a foreign place that I had never visited before. From movies and media, I conceived (构想) the idea that the city would be busy and run-down and that the people would be rude and loud. That all changed, however, when my family and I went on a road trip there in July of 2016. When we reached New York, we walked around the city, looking at the amazing buildings, the wonderful museums, and the restaurants lining the streets.
Later that day, we decided to join in a tour of the Empire State Building. Standing just outside, I felt like a little ant looking up at the 1,250-1,454-foot building. We went to the top and though I had a preconceived idea that the city was crowded, dark, and dirty, the view from above all the buildings was breath-taking and made me realize I was wrong, for the first time.
Afterward, we visited Grand Central Terminal and I was able to see people run around and go about their day, which proved one of my beliefs that New Yorkers are always busy. However, this was soon invalidated (证明……错误) when we passed Bryant Park and I saw so many people reading, having picnics, and simply enjoying their day.
The following day, we traveled to Times Square. To my surprise, most of the people there seemed to be locals selling photos with childhood cartoons and characters from different movies and television shows, which I had never seen before and thought was somewhat strange.
After three days, our trip sadly came to an end. Despite being on opposite ends of the East Coast, I noticed that Marietta and New York City had many similarities within their communities. What I knew about New York City was based on stereotypes (刻板印象) and the opinions of others; I now know I should make my judgments with my personal experiences instead of making assumptions.
41. What did the author think of New York City before he visited it?
A. It was modern. B. It was messy. C. It was large. D. It was unpopular.
42. What first led the author to change his opinion on New York City?
A. The view from the top of the Empire State Building.
B. The busy lifestyle of the people in Times Square.
C. The noise in Grand Central Terminal.
D. The friendly locals in Bryant Park.
43. How did the author feel when he passed Bryant Park?
A. Uncomfortable. B. Disappointed. C. Surprised. D. Satisfied.
44. What did the user find unexpected about Times Square?
A. It was quieter than expected. B. Most people were locals selling photos with characters.
C. It was full of expensive luxury stores. D. Most people were tourists taking photos.
45. What did the author learn from the trip?
A. Seeing is believing. B. Easy come, easy go.
C. Actions speak louder than words. D. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
C
It’s hard to predict which songs will become hits. It’s even more difficult to predict which artists topping today’s charts will go on to record more hits. Now a study provides some tips about how to avoid being a one-hit wonder.
Artists with more variety in their field have a better chance to land repeat hits, says Justin Berg, a social scientist who researches creativity and innovation. But there’s a dilemma (进退两难的窘境) for artists who want to be popular over the long term. Variety isn’t what helps artists land that first hit. Berg reports. It’s the similarity of a new song to recent hits.
Berg used a database of about 3 million songs from 1959-2010 and then turned to a system that rates songs on 11 variables (变量), including dance ability, energy and key. Berg then noted how closely related hit songs were to the hits from the previous calendar year. He also made portfolios (作品选集) for most of the artists who had at least one hit song, so he studied the variety and novelty (新颖) of the songs, they had created at the time of their first hit.
Berg found that musical artists with what he termed low-creativity portfolio that were closely similar to other already existing music were about twice as likely to have early success. But those who had more creative music were more likely to achieve a series of hits.
Since the data end in 2010, the research might fail to show the current state of popular music, according to Noah Askin, a computational social scientist. “Musicians are changing how they write songs to make them more attractive on TikTok,” says Askin. “So much of it now is: How memorable is a given song.”
Berg doesn’t want his research to play down the achievements of one-hit wonders. “A lot of them in their time were quite famous and successful,” he says. “You go out and try to make a song that catchy. It’s not an easy challenge.”
46. What helps a singer achieve lasting success according to Berg?
A. Good taste in music. B. The variety of their works.
C. Personal connections in the industry. D. Their music’s similarity to recent hits.
47. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The historical development of pop music. B. The social functions of pop music.
C. The findings of Berg’s research. D. The process of Berg’s research.
48. What did Berg find about artists’ with low-creativity portfolios?
A. They were more likely to achieve long-term success.
B. They were more likely to have early success.
C. They were less likely to gain any recognition.
D. They were likely to create new music styles.
49. What does Askin think of Berg’s research?
A. It may be out of date. B. It might be the first of its kind.
C. It could inspire new TikTok hits. D. It would raise questions among musicians.
50. What is Berg’s attitude towards one-hit wonders?
A. Worried. B. Doubtful. C. Positive. D. Carefree.
五、阅读表达:(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读表达
What I love most about travelling isn’t seeing the famous landmarks or eating great food. It’s watching my mom gasp (倒抽气) at something beautiful and unexpected. In Yellowknife, it was the bright aurora (极光). In Japan, it was 3,000 cherry trees. To get to them, we had to travel great distances and time our trips just right. All of them were better because we saw them together.
When I tell people how much I like to travel with my mom, they often feel surprised. We expect parents to show their children the world. When children become older, things are different. Many of them prefer travelling with friends. They no longer have to see the world through their parents.
When I was a little girl, my mother was my teacher. She is responsible for everything that makes me a good person. She’s kind and patient but she has little time to relax. So at 23, I booked two tickets to Yellowknife. We would explore the world as friends; I could help my mother to see the world, on her own terms.
Our trips are not without hard times. We’ve gotten on the wrong train, encountered wild animals, and even lost our passports. My mom often stayed cooler than I did. I have never regretted any of the trips with my mother. Before our trips, I had no idea how much my mom loved the mountains. Most of all, I never knew I could love her as a friend.
51. What does the author love most about travelling? (no more than 10 words)

52. How do you understand the underlined part in paragraph 3? (no more than 5 words)

Also known as the Big Apple, New York City was a foreign place that I had never visited before. From movies and media, I conceived (构想) the idea that the city would be busy and run-down and that the people would be rude and loud. That all changed, however, when my family and I went on a road trip there in July of 2016. When we reached New York, we walked around the city, looking at the amazing buildings, the wonderful museums, and the restaurants lining the streets.
Later that day, we decided to join in a tour of the Empire State Building. Standing just outside, I felt like a little ant looking up at the 1,250-1,454-foot building. We went to the top and though I had a preconceived idea that the city was crowded, dark, and dirty, the view from above all the buildings was breath-taking and made me realize I was wrong, for the first time.
Afterward, we visited Grand Central Terminal and I was able to see people run around and go about their day, which proved one of my beliefs that New Yorkers are always busy. However, this was soon invalidated (证明……错误) when we passed Bryant Park and I saw so many people reading, having picnics, and simply enjoying their day.
The following day, we traveled to Times Square. To my surprise, most of the people there seemed to be locals selling photos with childhood cartoons and characters from different movies and television shows, which I had never seen before and thought was somewhat strange.
After three days, our trip sadly came to an end. Despite being on opposite ends of the East Coast, I noticed that Marietta and New York City had many similarities within their communities. What I knew about New York City was based on stereotypes (刻板印象) and the opinions of others; I now know I should make my judgments with my personal experiences instead of making assumptions.
41. What did the author think of New York City before he visited it?
A. It was modern. B. It was messy. C. It was large. D. It was unpopular.
42. What first led the author to change his opinion on New York City?
A. The view from the top of the Empire State Building.
B. The busy lifestyle of the people in Times Square.
C. The noise in Grand Central Terminal.
D. The friendly locals in Bryant Park.
43. How did the author feel when he passed Bryant Park?
A. Uncomfortable. B. Disappointed. C. Surprised. D. Satisfied.
44. What did the user find unexpected about Times Square?
A. It was quieter than expected. B. Most people were locals selling photos with characters.
C. It was full of expensive luxury stores. D. Most people were tourists taking photos.
45. What did the author learn from the trip?
A. Seeing is believing. B. Easy come, easy go.
C. Actions speak louder than words. D. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

It’s hard to predict which songs will become hits. It’s even more difficult to predict which artists topping today’s charts will go on to record more hits. Now a study provides some tips about how to avoid being a one-hit wonder.
Artists with more variety in their field have a better chance to land repeat hits, says Justin Berg, a social scientist who researches creativity and innovation. But there’s a dilemma (进退两难的窘境) for artists who want to be popular over the long term. Variety isn’t what helps artists land that first hit. Berg reports. It’s the similarity of a new song to recent hits.
Berg used a database of about 3 million songs from 1959-2010 and then turned to a system that rates songs on 11 variables (变量), including dance ability, energy and key. Berg then noted how closely related hit songs were to the hits from the previous calendar year. He also made portfolios (作品选集) for most of the artists who had at least one hit song, so he studied the variety and novelty (新颖) of the songs, they had created at the time of their first hit.
Berg found that musical artists with what he termed low-creativity portfolio that were closely similar to other already existing music were about twice as likely to have early success. But those who had more creative music were more likely to achieve a series of hits.
Since the data end in 2010, the research might fail to show the current state of popular music, according to Noah Askin, a computational social scientist. “Musicians are changing how they write songs to make them more attractive on TikTok,” says Askin. “So much of it now is: How memorable is a given song.”
Berg doesn’t want his research to play down the achievements of one-hit wonders. “A lot of them in their time were quite famous and successful,” he says. “You go out and try to make a song that catchy. It’s not an easy challenge.”
46. What helps a singer achieve lasting success according to Berg?
A. Good taste in music. B. The variety of their works.
C. Personal connections in the industry. D. Their music’s similarity to recent hits.
47. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The historical development of pop music. B. The social functions of pop music.
C. The findings of Berg’s research. D. The process of Berg’s research.
48. What did Berg find about artists’ with low-creativity portfolios?
A. They were more likely to achieve long-term success.
B. They were more likely to have early success.
C. They were less likely to gain any recognition.
D. They were likely to create new music styles.
49. What does Askin think of Berg’s research?
A. It may be out of date. B. It might be the first of its kind.
C. It could inspire new TikTok hits. D. It would raise questions among musicians.
50. What is Berg’s attitude towards one-hit wonders?
A. Worried. B. Doubtful. C. Positive. D. Carefree.
【答案】46. B 47. D 48. B 49. A 50. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项关于歌手如何避免成为昙花一现的研究,研究指出作品多样性助歌手长久成功,而首支热门歌曲往往源于与近期热门相似。
【46题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Artists with more variety in their field have a better chance to land repeat hits, says Justin Berg, a social scientist who researches creativity and innovation.(研究创造力和创新的社会科学家贾斯汀·伯格说,在自己领域有更多多样性的艺术家更有可能多次获得热门歌曲)”可知,伯格认为歌手作品的多样性有助于其获得长久的成功。故选B项。
【47题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“Berg used a database of about 3 million songs from 1959 2010 and then turned to a system that rates songs on 11 variables (变量), including dance ability, energy and key. Berg then noted how closely related hit songs were to the hits from the previous calendar year. He also made portfolios (作品选集) for most of the artists who had at least one hit song, so he studied the variety and novelty (新颖) of the songs, they had created at the time of their first hit.(伯格使用了一个包含1959年至2010年约300万首歌曲的数据库,然后采用了一个根据11个变量对歌曲进行评分的系统,包括可舞性、活力和音调。伯格随后记录了热门歌曲与上一年度热门歌曲的关联程度。他还为大多数至少有一首热门歌曲的艺术家制作了作品选集,因此他研究了这些艺术家在首支热门歌曲创作时作品的多样性和新颖性)”可知,该段主要介绍了伯格的研究过程。故选D项。
【48题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Berg found that musical artists with what he termed low creativity portfolio that were closely similar to other already existing music were about twice as likely to have early success.(伯格发现,那些他所谓的低创造力作品集与其他现有音乐非常相似的音乐艺术家获得早期成功的可能性大约是其他人的两倍)”可知,有低创造力作品集的艺术家更有可能获得早期成功。故选B项。
【49题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Since the data end in 2010, the research might fail to show the current state of popular music, according to Noah Askin, a computational social scientist.(计算社会科学家诺亚·阿斯金表示,由于数据截止到2010年,这项研究可能无法反映流行音乐的现状)”可知,阿斯金认为伯格的研究可能过时了。故选A项。
【50题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Berg doesn’t want his research to play down the achievements of one hit wonders. ‘A lot of them in their time were quite famous and successful,’ he says. ‘You go out and try to make a song that catchy. It’s not an easy challenge.’(伯格不想让他的研究贬低那些昙花一现的艺术家的成就。他说:‘他们中的很多人在当时都相当有名且成功。你出去努力创作一首朗朗上口的歌曲,这可不是一件容易的事。’)”可推知,伯格对昙花一现的艺术家持肯定态度。故选C项。

阅读表达
What I love most about travelling isn’t seeing the famous landmarks or eating great food. It’s watching my mom gasp (倒抽气) at something beautiful and unexpected. In Yellowknife, it was the bright aurora (极光). In Japan, it was 3,000 cherry trees. To get to them, we had to travel great distances and time our trips just right. All of them were better because we saw them together.
When I tell people how much I like to travel with my mom, they often feel surprised. We expect parents to show their children the world. When children become older, things are different. Many of them prefer travelling with friends. They no longer have to see the world through their parents.
When I was a little girl, my mother was my teacher. She is responsible for everything that makes me a good person. She’s kind and patient but she has little time to relax. So at 23, I booked two tickets to Yellowknife. We would explore the world as friends; I could help my mother to see the world, on her own terms.
Our trips are not without hard times. We’ve gotten on the wrong train, encountered wild animals, and even lost our passports. My mom often stayed cooler than I did. I have never regretted any of the trips with my mother. Before our trips, I had no idea how much my mom loved the mountains. Most of all, I never knew I could love her as a friend.
51. What does the author love most about travelling? (no more than 10 words)
________________________________________________________________
52. How do you understand the underlined part in paragraph 3? (no more than 5 words)
________________________________________________________________

________________________________________________________________
54. What was the most important thing the author realized after the trips? (no more than 10words)
________________________________________________________________
55. What kind of people do you like to travel with? Please explain. (no more than 25words)
________________________________________________________________
【答案】51. Watching her mom gasp at something beautiful and unexpected.
52. In her own way. / According to her own preferences.
53. She often stayed cooler than the author did.
54. That she could love her mother as a friend.
55. I like to travel with people who are curious and open-minded. Because their enthusiasm for exploring can make our trip wonderful.
【解析】

It’s watching my mom gasp (倒抽气) at something beautiful and unexpected.(我最喜欢旅行的地方不是看著名的地标或吃美食。而是看到我妈妈对一些美丽而意想不到的事物倒抽气)” 可知作者最喜欢旅行中看到妈妈对美好且意想不到的事物倒抽气这一情景。故填 Watching her mom gasp at something beautiful and unexpected.

【答案】Dear Ton
In your letter you asked about mobile payment in China. It's my honor to introduce it to you.
Mobile payment has been advocated around the world, which is a future way to pay bills. In China, WeChat and Alipay are popular everywhere. Just scanning the QR code with a smart phone, people can easily pay for the items they need, even small business can be finished in this advanced way People play the joke that they don’t need to worry about the lack of cash. The advantages of mobile payment are obvious. Firstly, it saves people's time to pay bills. The use of mobile payment is carried out with a smart phone. Especially when we go to the supermarket, there are always a lot of people waiting in the long line. the process of costing customers' time is to take out the cash or use the credit card, because both customers and cashiers need to count the money or check the bills. But now the cashier can just scan the phone and the bill will be paid and the customer can check quickly. Secondly, people dont have to worry about getting the fake cash. Many years ago, people were easy to get fake money as they received the change. But now, as the cash have been used less, people won t receive the fake cash without paper money.
I believe with the development of mobile payment, our life will be more convenient.
Yours,
Li Jin
【解析】
【分析】本次书面表达是一篇应用文,要求写一封邮件,介绍移动支付在中国的情况,开头结尾已给出。此次写作以应用文为“壳”,行说明文之“实”。
【详解】完成本次写作,最关键两步是审题和列提纲。
体裁:应用文为“壳”,说明文为“实”
时态:根据提示,时态应为一般现在时
结构:总——分——总
要求:
1. 目前中国使用移动支付的情况(说明介绍)
2. 移动支付的好处(分点列举)
3. 你对移动支付的看法(表达议论)
第二步:分清详略,列明提纲:
本次写作与平时所见的邮件写作在详略处理上有所不同,大多数应用文写作的第一点往往只是引入,简要带过即可;但本文三个要点均要展开阐述,建议第二点较为详细地分点写作,但三点用力需要总体均衡。
移动支付在中国的情况:迅速普及,占领市场。
移动支付的好处:方便快捷,提高效率;不容易出错;资金安全更有保障;催生更丰富的应用场景;等等。
对移动支付的看法:首先应明确移动支付是大势所趋,应谈论其优点(或辩证看待,利大于弊)。可以从移动支付便利了人们的生活,推动了时代的进步,促进了互联网经济的发展等角度展开,注意尽量拓宽思路,从多维度进行分析,尽量避免与第二点重复。
【点睛】范文内容完整,语言规范,语篇连贯,词数适当。作者在范文中使用了一些高级词汇短语,如be advocated around, scan等;作者运用firstly, secondly表达层次,并综合运用定语从句,连接词(but, because…)等来构造较为流畅地道的复合句。全文中没有中国式英语的句式,显示了较高的驾驭英语的能力。
